In the present embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the portion of the cap side winding insertion hole 52A on the stator 12 side is formed into a funnel shape, so that the portion of the cap side winding insertion hole 52A on the other side in the axial direction is formed. The example in which the inner diameter D1 is configured to be gradually reduced toward the one side in the axial direction has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a portion of the cap side winding insertion hole 52A on the stator 12 side 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 of the cap side winding insertion hole 52A on the stator 12 side may be formed in a funnel shape and the inner peripheral surface thereof may be gently curved.

Although the cap 52 is attached to the center piece 16 in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the peripheral edge of the centerpiece side winding insertion hole 16D formed in the centerpiece 16 may have the same structure as the cap, and the cap 52 may not be provided.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the stator 12 that constitutes a part of the motor unit of the present embodiment, the inner bent portion 26D that is a boundary between the first extending portion 26A and the second extending portion 26B of the winding wire 26. Are arranged on one side in the axial direction with respect to the outer bent portion 26E which is a boundary between the second extending portion 26B and the third extending portion 26C. As a result, as compared with the configuration in which the inner bent portion 26D and the outer bent portion 26E are arranged at the same position in the rotation axis direction, the rotor 12 in the radial direction of rotation of the rotor is located closer to the center piece 16. It becomes possible to arrange. As a result, it is possible to prevent the physical size of the motor unit 10 in the rotation axis direction from increasing.

In addition, 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 wire 26, is inclined toward the other side in the axial direction toward the radially outer side. Has been done. With this configuration, the length of the second extending portion 26B can be shortened as compared with the case where the second extending portion 26B is curved. As a result, it is possible to prevent the wiring route from the stator core 24 of the winding 26 to the circuit device from becoming longer. 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 to which the stator 12 is fixed.

Further, in the present embodiment, after the winding bending step shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the winding turning step shown in FIG. When attached to the piece 16, the third extending portion 26C of the winding 26 can be easily inserted into the center piece side winding insertion hole 16D formed in the center piece 16 and the cap side winding insertion hole 52A formed in the cap 52. Can be inserted. Whether or not to incorporate the winding turning process into the manufacturing process of the motor unit as a whole may be selected in consideration of the arrangement of the center piece side winding insertion hole 16D formed in the center piece 16.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the motor unit 10 of the present embodiment, the circuit device 18 is arranged in the 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. This prevents water droplets from entering the space in which the circuit device 18 is arranged from between the center piece and the cover.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 9, when the cover 20 is attached to the center piece 16 with the seal material 50 applied to the center piece 16, the seal material 50 is crushed between the cover 20 and the center piece 16. It is conceivable that the pressure between the center piece 16 and the cover 20 increases during the operation. 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 is generated 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 communicates with the space outside the space, and the outer space side portion is opened radially outward. The 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 on the side opposite to the side on which the circuit device 18 is arranged. Then, the cover 20 is attached to the center piece 16 while drawing air on the side of the circuit device 18 by the suction pump 62, so that when the seal material 50 is crushed between the cover 20 and the center piece 16, the center piece 16 It is possible to prevent the pressure in the space between the cover 20 and the cover 20 from increasing. As a result, the sealing material can be interposed between the center piece 16 and the cover 20 in a desired state.

Further, in the present embodiment, the end portion of the communication hole 16E on the space side where the circuit device 18 is arranged is closed by the filter 42 having the above-described specification. With 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 the present embodiment, the seal member 50 is attached to the center piece 16 while drawing the air on the circuit device 18 side by the suction pump 62 connected to the communication hole 16E, so that the sealing material 50 causes the cover 20 and the center piece 16 to come together. It is possible to prevent the pressure in the space between the center piece 16 and the cover 20 from increasing when the space between the center piece 16 and the cover 20 is crushed. Accordingly, even in the configuration in which the filter 42 is provided, the sealing material 50 can be interposed between the center piece 16 and the cover 20 in a desired state.

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 arranged.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above, and various modifications other than the above can be carried out without departing from the gist of the invention. Of course.
