  • Patent number: 11489399
    Abstract: In one aspect of a motor of the present invention, an inverter housing portion is located on the radially outer side of a stator housing portion. A housing has a tubular circumferential wall surrounding the rotor and the stator on the radially outer side of the rotor and the stator, and is a single member. The circumferential wall has a first cooling flow path, and a partition wall that partitions the stator housing portion and the inverter housing portion. The first cooling flow path extends in the circumferential direction, and at least a part of the first cooling flow path is provided in the partition wall. As viewed along the predetermined direction, a portion of the first cooling flow path provided in the partition wall has a portion overlapping the inverter and a portion overlapping the capacitor.

  • Patent number: 11251672
    Abstract: A motor including a rotor, a stator, an inverter, a housing, and a cover member. The housing is a single member that includes: a stator housing portion; an inverter housing portion housing the inverter; and a partition wall located between the stator housing portion and the inverter housing portion. The housing opening through which at least a part of the stator, an end on one side in an axial direction of the partition wall, and at least a part of the inverter housing portion are exposed is provided at an end on the one side in the axial direction of the housing. A three-phase coil wire extending from the stator passes through the end of the partition wall to the inverter, extends up to the inverter, and is connected to a connector terminal provided at an end on the one side in the axial direction of the inverter.

  • Publication number: 20200212753
    Abstract: In one aspect of a motor of the present invention, a housing has a stator housing portion and an inverter housing portion, and is a single member. A cover covers an opening on one side in an axial direction of a circumferential wall of a stator housing portion. A rotation detection unit detects the rotation of a rotor and is attached to a motor shaft on the one side in the axial direction of a stator. A speed-reduction device has a speed-reduction mechanism coupled to an end on the one side in the axial direction of the motor shaft and a casing in which the speed-reduction mechanism is housed. The rotation detection unit is covered by the casing from the one side in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20200177067
    Abstract: In one aspect of a motor of the present invention, a housing has a stator housing portion and an inverter housing portion, and is a single member. A rotation detection unit detects the rotation of a rotor. A sensor wiring electrically connects the rotation detection unit and an inverter. The stator housing portion has a bottomed tubular shape having a circumferential wall that is open to one side in the axial direction and a bottom wall that is provided at an end on the other side in the axial direction of the circumferential wall. An output end of a motor shaft of the rotor protrudes from an opening of the circumferential wall toward the one side in the axial direction. The rotation detection unit is arranged on the bottom wall, and the sensor wiring passes through the inside of the bottom wall.
