Although the example in which the inner diameter D1 is configured to gradually decrease toward the one side in the axial direction has been described, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a portion on the stator 12 side in the cap side winding insertion hole 52 </ b> A may be formed in a funnel shape and an intermediate portion in the axial direction of the portion may be bent. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, a portion on the stator 12 side in the cap side winding insertion hole 52A may be formed in a funnel shape, and the inner peripheral surface thereof may be gently curved.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the cap 52 is attached to the center piece 16 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it is good also as a structure which does not provide the cap 52 by making the peripheral part of centerpiece side coil | winding insertion hole 16D formed in the centerpiece 16 into the structure similar to a cap.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the stator 12 constituting a part of the motor unit of the present embodiment, the inner bent portion 26 </ b> D that is the boundary between the first extending portion 26 </ b> A and the second extending portion 26 </ b> B of the winding 26. Is arranged on one side in the axial direction with respect to the outer bent portion 26E that is the boundary between the second extending portion 26B and the third extending portion 26C. As a result, compared to the configuration in which the inner bent portion 26D and the outer bent portion 26E are disposed at the same position in the rotation axis direction, the portion of the stator 12 on the outer side in the rotation radial direction is brought closer to the center piece 16. It becomes possible to arrange. As a result, it is possible to suppress an increase in the size of the motor unit 10 in the direction of the rotation axis.

  In the present embodiment, the second extending portion 26B, which is a portion between the first extending portion 26A and the second extending portion of the winding 26, is inclined to the other side in the axial direction as it goes radially outward. Has been. By setting it as the said structure, compared with the case where the 2nd extension part 26B is curved, the length of the 2nd extension part 26B can be shortened. Thereby, it can suppress that the wiring path | route to the circuit device of the part extended from the stator core 24 in the coil | winding 26 becomes long. Whether or not the second extending portion 26B is inclined as described above may be appropriately set in consideration of the configuration of the portion of the center piece 16 where the stator 12 is fixed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, after the winding bending process shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the winding turning process shown in FIG. When attaching to the piece 16, the third extending portion 26 </ b> C of the winding 26 is easily inserted into the center piece side winding insertion hole 16 </ b> D formed in the center piece 16 and the cap side winding insertion hole 52 </ b> A formed in the cap 52. It can be inserted. Whether or not the winding turning process is incorporated in the manufacturing process of the motor unit may be selected in consideration of the arrangement of the centerpiece side winding insertion hole 16D formed in the centerpiece 16.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the motor unit 10 of the present embodiment, the circuit device 18 is disposed in a space formed between the center piece 16 and the cover 20. Further, a sealing material 50 is interposed between the center piece 16 and the cover 20. Thereby, it is suppressed that a water droplet permeates into the space where the circuit device 18 is disposed between the center piece and the cover.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 9, when the cover 20 is attached to the center piece 16 in a state where the seal member 50 is applied, the seal member 50 is crushed between the cover 20 and the center piece 16. It is conceivable that the pressure between the centerpiece 16 and the cover 20 increases when As a result, the sealing material 50 interposed between the center piece 16 and the cover 20 may be scattered. That is, it is conceivable that a portion where the sealing material 50 is missing occurs between the center piece 16 and the cover 20.

  However, in the present embodiment, the space formed between the center piece 16 and the cover 20 and the space outside the space communicate with each other and the space on the outer space side is opened outward in the radial direction. A communication hole 16E is formed in the center piece. Thereby, the suction pump 62 can be easily connected to the portion of the communication hole 16E opposite to the side where the circuit device 18 is disposed. Then, when the sealing material 50 is crushed between the cover 20 and the center piece 16 by attaching the cover 20 to the center piece 16 while drawing air on the circuit device 18 side by the suction pump 62, the center piece 16 An increase in the pressure in the space between the cover 20 and the cover 20 can be suppressed. Thereby, it can suppress that a missing part arises in the sealing material 50 between the centerpiece 16 and the cover 20.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the edge part by the side of the space where the circuit apparatus 18 in the communicating hole 16E is arrange | positioned is closed by the filter 42 which has the above-mentioned specification. In this configuration, when the sealing material 50 is crushed between the cover 20 and the center piece 16, the pressure in the space between the center piece 16 and the cover 20 is likely to increase. However, in this embodiment, the seal member 50 is attached to the center piece 16 while the air on the circuit device 18 side is drawn in by the suction pump 62 connected to the communication hole 16E. When the space between the centerpiece 16 and the cover 20 is crushed, it is possible to suppress an increase in pressure in the space between the centerpiece 16 and the cover 20. Thereby, even in the configuration in which the filter 42 is provided, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a defective portion in the sealing material 50 between the center piece 16 and the cover 20.

  Whether or not the filter 42 is provided may be appropriately selected in consideration of the environment, posture, and the like in which the motor unit 10 is disposed.
