Molded submersible motor

Claim 1

A molded submersible motor, comprising: (a) an open ended, hollow cylindrical frame (5) formed of resinous molding material, (b) a stator assembly including stator cores (2) and stator coils (3) embedded in said frame, (c) a rotor assembly (20) rotatably mounted inside of the stator assembly, (d) an end bracket (8) formed of resinous molding material and detachably secured to an upper end of said frame to close the opening thereof, (e) a starting switch unit (12) of said motor embedded in said end bracket, (f) a connector (6) molded into an axial end of said frame having contact means (61) connected to the stator coils, (g) an interconnecting terminal (9) embedded in said end bracket and comprising first contact means (91) for connection to a power cable (10) for said motor, second contact means (92) for connection to said stator coil connector, and third contact means (125, 126) connected to said starting switch, (h) an intermediate connector (11) disposed in aligned axial apertures (62, 96) formed in said frame and end bracket and extending from a lower portion of said end bracket to an upper portion of said frame, said intermediate connector connecting said second contact means of said interconnecting terminal to said contact means of said connector, and (i) a connecting unit (101) disposed in an axial aperture (95) formed in said end bracket for connecting said first contact means of said interconnecting terminal to said power cable, (j) said starting switch unit being embedded in said end bracket in a position laterally displaced from an axial alignment of said connecting unit, said interconnecting terminal, said intermediate connector and said connector.
