  • Publication number: 20210388851
    Abstract: An electric pump includes a housing having a bottom portion and an opening portion provided at an opposite side to the bottom portion, a motor rotor rotatably accommodated in the housing, a field coil, a pump rotor configured to transmit fluid by being rotated by a driving force of the motor rotor, and a control substrate provided at an outside of the bottom portion. The bottom portion includes a heat conduction wall formed of material including heat conductivity which is higher than heat conductivity of the housing. The housing includes a space portion formed with a flow path configured to allow the fluid to flow into the space portion and flow out of the space portion after the fluid is in contact with an inner surface of the heat conduction wall.

  • Publication number: 20190316594
    Abstract: An electric pump includes a shaft, a rotor provided outward in a radial direction of the shaft, and to be rotated to the shaft, an impeller fixed to the rotor, and a cylindrical cap attached to a tip end portion of the shaft. A pump housing includes a suction port provided in an extending direction of the shaft, and a discharge port provided at one side of the impeller and in a direction crossing an extending direction of the shaft. The shaft includes an exposed portion at a tip end side further than a portion to which the cap is attached in the tip end portion. The cap is held by the shaft, prevents the rotor from moving toward a tip end side of the shaft, and includes, on an outer peripheral portion, a first taper portion being decreased in diameter toward the tip end side of the shaft.
