  • Publication number: 20240136894
    Abstract: A control device that includes a circuit board, a plurality of heating elements that generate heat that accompanies driving the motor, and a rotation angle sensor that detects a rotation angle of the motor. The circuit board has a power supply input portion to which a driving current of the motor is supplied, a heating element mounting region where the plurality of the heating elements are mounted, and a controller mounting region where the rotation angle sensor is mounted. The power supply input portion, the heating element mounting region, and the controller mounting region are disposed in such an order. The circuit board, as seen from an axial direction of the rotating shaft, protrudes to an outside of a projection region that projects an outer surface of a cylindrical portion of a motor case that surrounds the motor. The power supply input portion is located on a portion out of portions of the circuit board that are on the outside of the projection region.

  • Publication number: 20230150568
    Abstract: In an electric rotating machine apparatus according to the present disclosure, there is adopted a structure in which an extending portion of a control circuit board on which a power module for supplying electric power to windings and a driving circuit for the power module are mounted passes through an external-connection opening portion of an electromagnetic shield and then is connected with connectors. A filter circuit 11 is mounted on the extending portion of the control circuit board so as to secure noise-removal capability. Because a conventional dedicated wiring board for mounting the filter circuit thereon is not required, the foregoing structure can contribute to downsizing and cost reduction. In addition, the foregoing structure can contribute to downsizing and cost reduction of an electric power steering apparatus equipped with the electric rotating machine apparatus according to the present disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20230049080
    Abstract: In an electric rotating machine apparatus according to the present disclosure, noise-removal capability is secured by adopting a structure in which an external terminal is connected with a protruding portion, of a control circuit board in a control unit, that protrudes from a through hole of an electromagnetic shield and in which a filter unit is provided. Because a conventional dedicated wiring board for mounting the filter unit thereon is not required, the foregoing structure can contribute to downsizing and cost reduction. In addition, the foregoing structure can contribute to downsizing and cost reduction of an electric power steering apparatus equipped with the electric rotating machine apparatus according to the present disclosure.
