[0017] The present invention relates to a wiring frame 30, and more particularly to a wiring frame 30 that is applicable to a motor stator of a motor. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the motor stator 10 comprises an iron core 20 and a plurality of coil groups 25, wherein the iron core 20 comprises a plurality of silicon steel plates 21 and a plurality of I-shaped members 22. The silicon steel plates 21 are stacked and inter-connected to form a hollow cylindrical body having a predetermined thickness. The I-shaped members 22 are disposed on an inner circumferential surface of the hollow cylindrical body. Each of the I-shaped members 22 comprises an outside plate 23 and an inside plate 24, such that each of the I-shaped members 22 receives a conductive wire 51, 52, 53 to wind around between the inside and outside plates 24, 23 to form a coil group 25 corresponding to each different phase. A wiring frame 30 is mounted on a top of the iron core 20 to correspond to each of the coil groups 25 for guiding the conductive wires 51, 52, 53 of the coil groups 25 of the different phases together to realize a wiring arrangement operation for easy connection to a power source.

[0018] The present invention is characterized by the wiring frame 30, and a preferred embodiment of the wiring frame 30 is structured as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. The wiring frame 30 includes an annular tray structure, and the wiring frame 30 is formed, in a top surface thereof and arranged from inside toward outside, with at least three guide channels 300 that respectively correspond, in number, to the number of phases and are mutually separated from each other. For example, three guide channels 300 are provided for three phases; four guide channels 300 are provided for four phases; or five guide channels 300 are provided for five phases. According to some embodiments, the guide channels 300 have bottoms that are set at the same height. A three-phase motor is taken as a primary example for embodying the present invention, wherein three guide channels 300 that are separated from each other are formed in the top surface of the wiring frame 30 and are respectively defined, from inside to outside, a first guide channel 31, a second guide channel 32, and a third guide channel 33 to respectively receive the conductive wires 51, 52, 53 of the coil groups 25 to individually wind thereon. The wiring frame 30 is provided with a plurality of through holes 310, 320, 330 that communicate between inside and outside and are respectively formed in the bottoms of the first, second, and third guide channels 31, 32, 33 to receive the conductive wire 51, 52, 53 of each of the coil groups 25 to extend into a corresponding one of the first guide channel 31, the second guide channel 32, and the third guide channel 33 of the wiring frame 30 for winding, so as to ensure that the conductive wires 51, 52, 53 of the coil groups 25 that are associated with different phases are properly separated from each other, without any undesired erroneous contact therebetween, to thereby improve operation safety.

[0019] Further, the wiring frame 30 is provided with at least one wire holding block 311, 321, 331 in each of the first, second, and third guide channels 31, 32, 33 at one side of a correct winding direction of the conductive wire 51, 52, 53 to enable a user to identify the winding direction of the conductive wire 51, 52, 53 (as shown in FIG. 5), and to effectively prevent detachment and separation of the conductive wire 51, 52, 53 (as shown in FIG. 6). Further, the wiring frame 30 is provided, on an outer circumference thereof, with a plurality of external positioning blocks 34, which are respectively corresponding to and fit to the outside plates 23 of the I-shaped members 22 of the iron core 20, and tops of the outside plates 23 of the I-shaped members 22 are formed with fitting notches 230 corresponding thereto; further, the wiring frame 30 is provided, on an inner circumference thereof, with a plurality of internal positioning blocks 35, which are respectively corresponding to and fit to the inside plates 24 of the I-shaped members 22 of the iron core 20, and fitting notches 240 corresponding thereto are formed between tops of the inside plates 24 of adjacent ones of the I-shaped members 22, so that the wiring frame 30 may be fit to and securely fixed on the top of the iron core 20 by means of the external positioning blocks 34 on the outer circumference and the internal positioning blocks 35 on the inner circumference (as shown in FIGS. 1, 5, and 6).

[0020] Further, the wiring frame 30 is provided with a clamp block 36, which is arranged at a location corresponding to each one of the first, second, and third guide channels 31, 32, 33. The clamp blocks 36 are each formed with a wire hole 37 that communicates inside and outside at a location corresponding to a respective one of the first, second, and third guide channels 31, 32, 33, in order to receive the conductive wires 51, 52, 53 of corresponding phases to collectively extend outside. Each of the clamp blocks 36 are provided, on two ends thereof, with a clip tab 38, so as to be correspondingly fit to and in retaining engagement with the top surface of the wiring frame 30. The wiring frame 30 is formed, in the inner and outer circumferences thereof, with clip notches 39 that respectively correspond to the clip tabs 38 of the clamp blocks 36 to enable fitting and retaining engagement of the clamp block 36 to the top of the wiring frame 30 (as shown in FIGS. 1, 5, and 6), for easy organization of individual ones of the conductive wire 51, 52, 53 associated with the same phase, and to additionally realize an advantage of requiring no insulative enclosing material for the conductive wire 51, 52, 53 to thereby achieve easiness of assembly.

[0021] As such, the conductive wires 51, 52, 53 for different phases can respectively penetrate into the corresponding ones of the first, second, and third guide channels 31, 32, 33 through the through holes 310, 320, 330 in the bottom of the wiring frame 30, and a structure of wiring frame that is small is size and high in operation safety is achieved.

[0022] An actual application of the wiring frame 30 according to the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2, 5, and 6, wherein the motor stator 10 is structured such that each of the I-shaped members 22 of the iron core 20 is individually and respectively wound around with a corresponding one of the conductive wires 51, 52, 53 to form each of the coil groups 25, and the conductive wire 51, 52, 53 of each of the coil groups 25 is individually and respectively extended, in an upward direction, through the through holes 310, 320, 330 in the bottoms of the first, second, and third guide channels 31, 32, 33 of the wiring frame 30, and as a result of such, the conductive wires 51, 52, 53 of the various phases are allowed to individually penetrate into the corresponding one of the first, second, and third guide channels 31, 32, 33 of the wiring frame 30, and are wound according to the arrangement directions of the wire holding blocks 311, 321, 331 of the first, second, and third guide channels 31, 32, 33, and the wiring frame 30 is mounted to the top of the iron core 20 by means of the external positioning blocks 34 and the internal positioning blocks 35.

[0023] Afterwards, the clamp blocks 36 are fit to the wiring frame 30, at corresponding locations, by means of the clip tabs 38, and the conductive wires 51, 52, 53 of identical phases are individually and collectively extended through the wire holes 37 of the clamp blocks 36 to realize the wiring arrangement operation for easy connection to the power source.
