DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0037] For further illustrating the invention, experiments detailing a method for connecting an external power wire and a thermostat of a motor, a connector made by the method, and a motor comprising the connector are described below.

EXAMPLE 1

[0038] As shown in FIGS. 4-5, a method for connecting an external power wire and a thermostat comprises electrically connecting a second pin 12 of the thermostat 1 to an aluminum enameled wire of stator windings of a motor. A first pin 11 of the thermostat is electrically connected to the external power wire 2. The first pin 11 comprises a first exposed core end 110, the external power wire 2 comprises a second exposed core end 21.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 4, preferably, a length of the second exposed core end 21 is about twice a length of the first exposed core end 110. The external power wire 2 is sheathed in an insulating sleeve 5. The first exposed core end 110 is aligned with the second exposed stator core 21, then the first exposed core end 110 is intertwined with and soldered to the second exposed core end 21 to form a soldered common joint 3. The first exposed core end 110 is aligned with the second exposed core end 21, then the first exposed core end is intertwined with and soldered to the second exposed core end, thereby facilitating the connection between the first exposed core end 110 and the second exposed core end 21 by soldering. The working efficiency is improved, and the connection is reliable. The first pin 11 of the thermostat 1 and the external power wire 2 are pulled towards opposite directions, which means, the first exposed core end 110 and the second exposed core end 21 are pulled towards opposite directions by external force. A rear end of the second exposed core end 21 is bended to form a bent part 4. The bent part 4 and the soldered common joint 3 are side by side. The insulating sleeve 5 which is sleeved on the external power wire 2 is moved and is sleeved on the bent part 4 and the soldered common joint 3. As shown in FIG. 5, the method is simple and easy to operate, and the soldered common joint of the external power wire and the pin of the thermostat is regular in shape, thus the soldered common joint brings no harm to the insulating sleeve and the stator windings. The external power wire and the pin of the thermostat are evenly distributed, and cause no stacking, thereby facilitating the shaping of the stator windings, and reducing the risks of stator windings damage, and in general, the quality and stability of the product are improved.

[0040] While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

[0041] For example, in the example, the length of the second exposed core end 21 is about twice the length of the first exposed core end 110, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the length of the first exposed core end 110 may be about twice the length of the second exposed core end 21, or in other length relationships. All such changes and modifications fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention, and the invention covers all such changes.

EXAMPLE 2

The motor comprises stator windings comprising an aluminum enameled wire, the thermostat 1 comprises a first pin 11 and a second pin 12, and the first pin 1 comprises a first exposed core end 110. The second pin 12 of the thermostat is electrically connected to the aluminum enameled wire of stator windings of the motor, and the first pin 11 of the thermostat is electrically connected to the external power wire 2. A length of the first exposed core end 110 is about twice a length of the second exposed core end 21. The first exposed core end 110 is intertwined with and soldered to the second exposed core end 21 to form the soldered common joint 3. The first exposed core end 110 is bended to form the bent part 4. The bent part 4 and the soldered common joint 3 are side by side, and the bent part 4 and the soldered common joint 3 are sheathed in an insulating sleeve 5.

[0043] As shown in FIGS. 4-8, a motor comprises a rotary shaft 6, a rotor assembly 7, a stator assembly 8, a shell assembly 9, and a thermostat 1. The rotor assembly 7 is disposed on the rotary shaft 6. The stator assembly 8 and the shell assembly 9 are sleeved on the rotor assembly 7. Two ends of the rotary shaft 6 are supported by bearings of the shell assembly 9. The stator assembly 8 comprises a stator core 81 and stator windings 82. The stator windings 82 are coiled on the stator core 81. The thermostat 1 is disposed on the stator assembly 8. The thermostat 1 is provided with two pins. A second pin 12 of the thermostat is electrically connected to an aluminum enameled wire on the stator windings 82, and a first pin 11 of the thermostat is electrically connected to an external power wire 2. The first pin 11 comprises a first exposed core end 110, the external power wire 2 comprises a second exposed core end 21. A length of the second exposed core end 21 is about twice a length of the first exposed core end 110. As shown in FIG. 4, the external power wire 2 is sheathed in an insulating sleeve 5. The first exposed core end 110 is aligned with the second exposed core end 21, then the first exposed core end 110 is intertwined with and soldered to the second exposed core end 21 to form a soldered common joint 3. The first exposed core end 110 is aligned with the second exposed core end 21, then the first exposed core end is intertwined with and soldered to the second exposed core end, thereby facilitating the connection between the first exposed core end 110 and the second exposed core end 21 by soldering. The working efficiency is improved, and the connection is reliable. The first pin 11 of the thermostat 1 and the external power wire 2 are pulled towards opposite directions, which means, the first exposed core end 110 and the second exposed core end 21 are pulled towards opposite directions by external force. A rear end of the second exposed core end 21 is bended to form a bent part 4. The bent part 4 and the soldered common joint 3 are side by side. The insulating sleeve 5 which is sleeved on the external power wire 2 is moved and is sleeved on the bent part 4 and the soldered common joint 3, as shown in FIG. 5.

[0044] While particular embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the invention in its broader aspects, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
