  • Patent number: 9866091
    Abstract: A motor apparatus for a vehicle includes a motor unit, an inverter unit, a case, and a pump. The case has a motor space accommodating the motor unit, two or more inverter spaces each accommodating the inverter unit, and a cooling passage. The inverter spaces are provided adjacent to the motor space via respective walls, and each accommodating at least one of the capacitor, the power converter, and the control circuit. The cooling passage includes a first cooling part configured to cool the power converter and a second cooling part configured to cool the capacitor. A length of the cooling passage from a discharging part of the pump to the first cooling part is made shorter than a length of the cooling passage from the discharging part to the second cooling part.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9837876
    Abstract: A motor apparatus for a vehicle includes a motor unit, an inverter unit, a case, and a pump. The case has a motor space, an inverter space, and a cooling passage, the motor space accommodating the motor unit, the inverter space accommodating the inverter unit, the cooling passage being configured to let cooling medium flow through the cooling passage to cool the motor unit and the inverter unit. The pump is configured to forward the cooling medium to the cooling passage, and is disposed in a surrounding space within the motor space, the surrounding space being at a periphery of a rotation angle sensor fixed to a shaft of the motor unit.
