Motor

A motor comprising:

• a stator core including
• a ring-shaped yoke portion, and
• a plurality of teeth portions extending from the yoke portion in a radial direction and provided at intervals in a circumferential direction defining slots between adjacent teeth portions in the circumferential direction;
• a first coil provided adjacent to the yoke portion in the radial direction and wound around the teeth portion;
• and
• a second coil provided adjacent to the first coil in the radial direction and wound around the teeth portion,
• the first coil and the second coil not coinciding in position with each other as seen in an axial direction of the stator core,
• the first coil and the second coil respectively including a first coil end portion and a second coil end portion protruding from an end face of the stator core in the axial direction and being curved generally in a U-shape on the end face of the stator core,
• the first coil and the second coil respectively including a first coil intermediate portion and a second coil intermediate portion extending linearly in one of the slots in the axial direction, the first coil intermediate portion and the second coil intermediate portion being disposed in different slots,
• the first coil end portion and the second coil end portion respectively including a first facing portion and a second facing portion facing each other in the radial direction, the first facing portion facing an inner side of the stator core in the radial direction and the second facing portion facing an outer side of the stator core in the radial direction, and
• the motor further comprising an out-slot insulator interposed at least between the first facing portion and the second facing portion, the out-slot insulator being provided on one of the first coil end portion and the second coil end portion and the other of the first coil end portion and the second coil end portion being exposed with no out-slot insulator.
