Since the shape of the lead frame 22 before being pressed is the shape before the lead frame 22 is bent, in general, if the length of the lead frame is long, unnecessary portions increase, so the cost of the lead frame increases.
- the motor connection terminal 34 is insert-molded in the frame 30 on which the power module 21 is disposed.

Therefore, since the temperature rise when heat is generated by the heat-generating component is suppressed, the reliability of the electric drive device is improved.
- the coil 40 and the capacitor 41 are inserted into the recesses 35a formed in the heat sink 35. Therefore, the heat generated from the coil 40 and the capacitor 41 is added to the outer periphery in addition to the axial end surface on the heat sink 35 side. Since heat is transferred from the surface to the heat sink 35 and radiated, the heat dissipation performance of the electric drive device is improved as compared with the case where heat is transferred to the heat sink 35 from only the axial end surface on the heat sink 35 side.
- thermally conductive grease or adhesive to the ceramic plate, the adhesive thermal resistance between components is reduced, and the gap between the coil 40, the capacitor 41 and the recess 35a of the heat sink 35 is reduced.
- heat conductive grease or adhesive heat radiation from the coil 40 and capacitor 41 to the heat sink 35 is promoted, so that the heat radiation performance of the electric drive device is further improved.

And when connecting the electric motor 1 and the control apparatus 20 to the plate 66a, the through-hole 66b through which the rotating shaft 2 passes and the through-hole 66c for fixing the insulating member 42 described later in a press-fitted state. Is formed.
- the module motor connection terminal 22 f passes through a through hole 65 a formed in the frame 65 and extends to the electric motor 1 side of the housing 66.
- the insulating member 42 is, for example, a member made of an insulating resin, and is located on the electric motor 1 side of the housing 66 and has a through hole 66c provided in the housing 66 as described above, as shown in FIG. And fixed in a press-fitted state.
- the insulating member 42 is formed with a flange 42a that serves as a stopper for suppressing the insulating member 42 itself from moving toward the control device 20 side.
- the insulating member 42 has an insertion hole 43a into which the motor terminal 13 is inserted, and the insulating member 42 guides the motor terminal 13 so that the slit 13a of the motor terminal 13 can sandwich the motor connection terminal 46.
- a resin guide portion 43 is formed.
- the insertion hole 43a has a tapered shape in which the axial section of the guide portion 43 gradually narrows from the electric motor 1 side (inlet) to the control device 20 side (outlet) with respect to the axial direction.

The terminal 46 can be inserted, and the assemblability of the electric drive device is improved.

In addition, since the position accuracy of the guide portion 43 is improved as compared with the case where both parts are configured as separate parts, the assembly of the electric drive device is further improved and the reliability of the electric drive device is improved. improves. Further, in the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the guide portion 43 is formed so as to cover the periphery of the motor terminal 13, so that insulation can be secured, and the reliability of the electric drive device can be ensured. The nature is further improved.
- the motor connection terminal 46 is insert-molded into the insulating member 42 made of an insulating resin, when the insulating member 42 is formed, both ends of the motor connection terminal 46 are fixed by the insulating resin.
- the motor terminal 13 is fixed in a state where it is press-fitted into the motor connection terminal 46, the load applied to the motor connection terminal 46 during press-fitting is evenly applied without being biased, and the load received by the motor connection terminal 46 is insulative. Therefore, the deformation and breakage of the motor connection terminal 46 can be prevented. This improves the reliability of the electric drive device.
- the motor connection terminal 46 when the motor connection terminal 46 is insert-molded into the insulating member 42, the position of the motor connection terminal 46 is fixed, so that the displacement of the motor connection terminal 46 is reduced, and the motor terminal 13 is connected to the motor connection terminal 46. Since it can pinch reliably, the assembly property of an electric drive device improves. In addition, since the motor connection terminal 46 is insert-molded into the insulating member 42, the number of assembly steps can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

Abstract
Description
特許文献1に記載の電動式パワーステアリング装置では、制御装置である制御ユニットが電動モータの回転軸の軸線上に配置されて電動モータに固定されている。この際、電動モ-タの給電部と制御ユニットの接合部は、ハウジング、またはケ-ス、あるいは両方に設けられた開口部を通して、ハウジング内、またはケ-ス内でネジを用いて接合されている。
以下、本発明の実施の形態1について図1~図6に基づいて説明するが、各図において、同一、または相当部材、部位については同一符号を付して説明する。
図1~図3は、それぞれ本発明の実施の形態1に係る電動式駆動装置100の断面図、分解斜視図、回路図である。本発明の実施の形態1に係る電動式駆動装置100は、電動式パワーステアリング装置に用いられる電動式駆動装置であり、車両のステアリングに対して補助トルクを出力する電動モータ1と、この電動モータ1を駆動制御する制御装置20とを備えている。
固定子5は、永久磁石3の外周に相対した例えば12個の突極8と、突極8に装着されたインシュレータ9を介して巻回され、かつ、U、VおよびWの3相に接続された電機子巻線10を有している。電機子巻線10は、例えばΔ結線されており、各巻線端部は、絶縁性の樹脂材からなるド-ナツ形状のホルダ11により支持される3本のターミナル(中間部材)12U、12V、12Wと、それぞれ、かしめ、溶接等の接合手段にて接続される。なお、永久磁石3の極数を10極、固定子5の突極数を12個としたが、この組み合わせに限定されるものではなく、他の極数、突極数の組み合わせであってもよく、また、電機子巻線10は、Δ結線としたが、この場合に限らず、スター結線であっても良い。
なお、ターミナル12は、モータ端子13に比べて耐熱クリープ特性が低い銅合金で作製されている。なお、クリープとは、一定の温度、一定の応力を受ける材料が、ある時間を過ぎた後に生じる変形のことであり、耐熱クリープ特性が高い材料とは、熱に対して、一定の応力を受けた材料の経時劣化度合い(変形度合い)が小さい材料のことである。
図4に示すように、モータ端子13は、例えば柱状であって、制御装置20側の端部にはスリット13aが形成されており、このスリット13aにより、二つの腕部13bが形成される。また、図1に示すように、電動モータ1側(スリット13aが形成された側とは反対側)の端部には、曲げ部13dにてL字状に曲げ加工されることで、回転軸2の軸方向に対して垂直な端面13eが形成されている。それぞれの腕部13bの先端部であって、スリットが形成されている側(モータ端子13の内側、図4参照)には、先端に向かってスリット幅Wが漸次大きくなる、すなわち、腕部13bの幅が漸次小さくなるテーパ13c1がスリット13aの両側に形成されている。端面13eは、ホルダ11の当接面11bに対して軸方向に当接して支持されている。なお、本実施の形態1では、腕部13bの先端部であって、スリット13aが形成されていない側(モータ端子13の外側、図4参照)にもテーパ13c2が形成されている。
また、モータ端子13は、車載用コネクタ等に使用される銅合金であって、後述するモータ接続端子34に比べて耐熱クリープ特性の高い、高導電、高強度の特殊銅合金の板材をプレス加工することで形成される。そして、プレス加工した後、プレス加工面には、例えば錫等にてメッキ処理が施されている。
パワーモジュール21は、配線パターンが形成された、銅または銅合金製のリードフレーム22上に、補助トルクの大きさおよび方向に応じて電動モータ1のモータ電流IMを切り替えるための3相ブリッジ回路を構成するFET23a、3相ブリッジ回路から電動モータ1に供給されるモータ電流IMを通電・遮断するスイッチ手段であるモータリレーを構成するFET23b、3相ブリッジ回路と接地との間に挿入されるシャント抵抗器24が半田で実装されており、これを絶縁性樹脂にて内包して一体成型したトランスファーモールドタイプのモジュールである。
そして、図5(a)に示すように、パワーモジュール21には、内蔵するFET23aに給電するモジュールパワー端子22a、22bと、パワーモジュール21から電動モータ1へ給電するモジュールモータ接続端子22cと、FET23a、23bを制御するモジュール信号端子22dとを備えている。パワーモジュール21のモジュール信号端子22dは、後述する制御基板25のスルーホール25bに半田付けにより接続される。また、図5(b)に示すように、パワーモジュール21のモジュールモータ接続端子22cは、後述するフレーム30のモータ接続端子(第2の端子)34に溶接で接続される。さらに、モジュールパワー端子22a、22bは、後述するフレーム30の導電板33とそれぞれ溶接にて接合される。
本実施の形態1に係る電動式駆動装置の電動モータ1は、3相ブラシレスモータであり、また図1、図3からも分かるように、制御装置20は、パワーモジュール21を3個と、リレーモジュール60を1個の計4個の半導体モジュールを備えている。そして、図2に示すように、これら4個の半導体モジュールは、制御装置20の周方向に対して、略90度ピッチで等間隔に配置されている。
なお、モータ電流IMには、FET23aのPWM駆動時のスイッチング動作によりリップル成分を含むが、コンデンサ41により平滑されて制御される。
フレーム30は、図1に示すように、パワーモジュール21のモジュールパワー端子22a、22b、コイル40、コンデンサ41、各種コネクタ(パワーコネクタ37、信号コネクタ38、トルクセンサコネクタ39)と電気的に接続される複数の導電板33を絶縁性樹脂にてインサート成型することで形成されている。導電板33は、回転軸2と垂直な平面上に構成されており、その一端がL字状に曲げ加工され、絶縁性樹脂から露出した接続部33aが形成されている。これらの接続部33aと、モジュールパワー端子22a、22b、各種コネクタ(パワーコネクタ37、信号コネクタ38、トルクセンサコネクタ39)、コイル40、コンデンサ41が溶接等の接合手段にて接続される。
モータ接続端子34には、図5(b)に示すように、モータ端子13の腕部13bが挿入される挿入孔34bが形成されており、挿入孔34b間の長さDは、モータ端子13のスリット幅W(図4参照)よりも大きい、すなわち、D>Wの関係を満たすようになっている。なお、腕部13bが挿入孔34bに挿入されることで、スリット13a(それぞれの腕部13bのモータ端子13の内側)がそれぞれの挿入孔34bの内側を挟み込むことから、挿入孔34b間の長さDは、モータ端子13に対する、モータ接続端子34の挟み込み幅に相当する。また、モータ接続端子34は、銅板を所定の形状(寸法)でプレス加工して形成されている。
また、ヒートシンク35のパワーモジュール21が固定されている面には、フレーム30がねじ(図示せず)で固定されている。フレーム30に配設された、コイル40およびコンデンサ41は、ヒートシンク35に形成された凹部35aに挿入されている。ヒートシンクに形成された凹部35aと、コイル40およびコンデンサ41との隙間には、伝熱性のグリスまたは接着剤が塗布されている。ヒートシンク35には、フレーム30の端面30aに当接して、フレーム30を支持する支持部35bが設けられている。
また、制御装置20を組み上げた段階では、ハウジング36とヒートシンク35はねじで締結され、このとき、フレーム30に形成されたガイド部31は、ハウジング36に形成された貫通孔36cを通過し、電動モータ1に向かって延出しており、制御装置20に設けられたモータ接続端子34は、図1に示すように、導電板33とともにフレーム30にインサート成型されている。
そして、電動モータ1が回転軸2の軸線方向で制御装置20に向かい、制御装置20とねじで締結されたハウジング36が電動モータ1のヨーク6とねじで締結され、電動モータ1、制御装置20の両者を組み付けるタイミングで、モータ端子13は、ガイド部31の挿入孔31aに挿入される。挿入孔31aの反電動モータ1側には、モータ接続端子34が位置して固定されており、モータ端子13の腕部13bは、モータ接続端子34の挿入孔34bに挿入されて、モータ端子13に形成されたスリット13aがモータ接続端子34を挟み込むことで、モータ端子13はモータ接続端子34に圧入される。その結果、両端子は圧接状態で電気的に接続される。それゆえ、電動モータ1と制御装置20を組み付けるタイミングでモータ端子13はモータ接続端子34に圧入された状態で固定される。このとき、モータ端子13のスリット13aは、図1に示すように、フレーム30、パワーモジュール21およびヒートシンク35によって、その周囲が取り囲まれた空間(閉空間)内に位置して固定されている。
これにより、両端子間の接続にネジ等の部品を新たに必要としないので、部品点数が削減され、ネジを締結する工程も不要となるので、組立工数が削減され、その結果、コストを低減することができる。また、ネジ締結のために、ネジの配置スペースおよびネジ締結用の挿入スペースを別途確保していた場合と比べると、これらのスペースも不要となるので、電動式駆動装置を小型化することができる。
また、端子間を接続するネジが不要となったことから、ネジ締結用ツールの挿入口を塞ぐカバーも不要となるので、部品点数および組立工数が削減され、さらにコストを低減することができる。
また、モータ端子13の腕部13bがモータ接続端子34の挿入孔34bに挿入される際、少なくとも腕部13bのモータ端子13の内側が、おのおのモータ端子13の外側方向にたわんで、腕部13bのモータ端子13の内側が、モータ接続端子34の挿入孔34b間(長さD、D>W)を挟み込むことから、モータ端子13の腕部13bの幅に寸法ばらつきが生じて、腕部13bのモータ端子13の外側と挿入孔34bとの間に多少の隙間があった場合であっても、モータ端子13とモータ接続端子34とは電気的に接続されるので、モータ端子13の寸法ばらつきを吸収することができ、電動式駆動装置の生産性が向上する。
さらに、電動モータ1と制御装置20を組み付けるタイミングで、モータ端子13はモータ接続端子34に圧入された状態で固定されることから、電動式駆動装置の組立性が向上する。
受動素子は、フレーム30のヒートシンク35側(フレーム30の一方)に配設されているので、受動素子の配設スペースを効率的に確保することができることから、電動式駆動装置の小型化を図ることができる。
なお、実施の形態1においては、パワーモジュール21のモジュールパワー端子22a、22bはフレーム30の導電板33と、パワーモジュール21のモジュールモータ接続端子22cはフレーム30のモータ接続端子34と、それぞれ接続されるので、上記の受動素子に加えて、パワーモジュール21の端子(モジュールパワー端子22a、22bとモジュールモータ接続端子22c)についても溶接等の接合手段で一括して行うことが可能であり、電子部品(受動素子、パワーモジュール)の組み付け時間が短縮されることから、電動式駆動装置の組立性がさらに向上する。
その上、本発明の実施の形態1においては、腕部13bの先端部であって、モータ端子13の外側(スリット13aが形成されていない側)にもテーパ13c2が形成されているので、このテーパ13c2がモータ接続端子34に形成された各挿入孔34b内に誘導するガイドの役割をし、モータ接続端子34は挿入孔34b内にスムーズに挿入されるので、モータ端子13のスリット幅W、モータ接続端子34の挿入孔34b間の長さDの寸法ばらつきを吸収することができる。
その上、モータ端子13の端面13eをホルダ11の当接面11bに当接させることで、モータ端子13が固定されるので、ターミナル12とモータ端子13とをかしめ、溶接等の接合手段で接続する際、モータ端子13の位置ずれが小さくなり、電動式駆動装置の組立性および信頼性が向上する。
また、モータ端子13がモータ接続端子34に圧入されて固定された後の電動式駆動装置100において、電動式駆動装置の振動や温度変化により材料に線膨張差等が生じ、このとき、モータ端子13の圧入力を弱める応力が生じるが、モータ端子13を曲げ加工することで曲げ部13dがL字状に形成され、これがモータ端子13の弾性部を形成することから、電動式駆動装置の振動、モータ端子13の線膨張差等により生じる応力が緩和され、電動式駆動装置の信頼性が向上する。
さらに、モータ接続端子34は、モータ端子13の延出線上に設けられて、モータ端子13の圧入を受けるものであって、3本のモータ端子13は、支持部11aより径方向外側に配置されているので、3本のモータ端子13それぞれの延出線上に設けられた3本のモータ接続端子34についても、径方向外側に配置されることから、3本のモータ接続端子34は、3本のモータ端子13の圧入を、径方向内側であって、回転軸2付近で集中して受けることなく、径方向外側で、圧入荷重を分散して受けることができるので、電動式駆動装置の信頼性が向上する。また、モータ接続端子34の絶縁距離を確保することができ、さらに電動式駆動装置の信頼性が向上する。
なお、実施の形態1では、ガイド部31は、フレーム30とは別部品にて構成した場合について示したが、この場合に限らず、フレーム30、ガイド部31はともに絶縁性樹脂にて成型されるものであることから、両者を一体成型することができる。フレーム30とガイド部31を絶縁性樹脂にて一体成型することで、組立工数が削減され、コストを低減することができる。その上、両部品を別部品にて構成した場合に比べて、ガイド部31の位置精度が向上することから、電動式駆動装置の組立性がさらに向上するとともに、電動式駆動装置の信頼性が向上する。
さらに、実施の形態1において、ガイド部31は、図6に示すように、モータ端子13の周囲を覆うように形成されているので、絶縁性を確保することができ、電動式駆動装置の信頼性がさらに向上する。
モータ接続端子34が、絶縁性樹脂にてフレーム30にインサート成型されると、モータ接続端子34の位置が固定されるので、モータ接続端子34の位置ずれが小さくなり、モータ端子13はモータ接続端子34を確実に挟み込むことができることから、電動式駆動装置の組立性が向上する。
さらに、フレーム30には、モータ端子13が挿入されるガイド部が形成されており、このガイド部31により、モータ端子13はフレーム30に対する相対位置が一意に決まるとともに、上述したように、モータ接続端子34についても、フレーム30に対する相対位置が一意に決まる。よって、フレーム30に対して、モータ端子13、モータ接続端子34の相対位置が一意に決まり、両者の位置ずれが小さくなることから、電動式駆動装置の組立性・信頼性がさらに向上する。
その上、モータ接続端子34に加えて、ガイド部31もフレーム30にインサート成型されることで、組立工数が削減され、コストを低減することができるとともに、フレーム30に対して、モータ接続端子34、ガイド部31の相対位置が一意に決まり、ガイド部31とモータ接続端子33の位置ずれが小さくなることから、両者の位置精度が向上して、電動式駆動装置の組立性・信頼性が向上する。なお、モータ接続端子34がフレーム30にインサート成型されることで、組立工数が削減され、コストを低減することができる。
プレス加工される前のリードフレーム22の形状は、リードフレーム22を折り曲げる前の形状であるため、一般に、リードフレームの長さが長いと、不要な部分も増加することから、リードフレームのコストが増加するが、実施の形態1において、モータ接続端子34は、パワーモジュール21が配設されるフレーム30にインサート成型されており、リードフレーム22のうち、モジュールモータ接続端子22cは、このモータ接続端子34に溶接等の接合手段により接続されるので、モジュールモータ接続端子22cの長さが短くなり、その分リードフレーム22の材料使用量が低減することから、コストを低減することができる。
その上、モータ接続端子34がフレーム30にインサート成型されることで、組立工数が削減され、コストを低減することができるとともに、モータ端子13とモータ接続端子34との圧入時に、モータ接続端子34が受ける荷重をフレーム30全体で受けることができることから、圧入によりモータ接続端子34が変形することがなくなり、信頼性の向上した電動式駆動装置を提供することができる。
さらに、本発明の実施の形態1に係る電動モータ1は、三相モータであって、3本のモータ端子13U、13V、13Wは、板材をプレス加工することで個々に形成されて、3つのモータ接続端子34U、34V、34Wにそれぞれ圧入される。これに対して、3つのモータ接続端子34(34U、34V、34W)は、銅板をプレス加工することで、例えば、コイル40等の受動素子への接続部を備えた一体品で形成されて、絶縁性樹脂にてインサート成型される。一体品であるモータ接続端子34は、メッキ処理の不要な箇所が含まれており、大型であるため、必要箇所にメッキ処理を施す場合、高コストになるおそれがある。これに対して、個々に形成されるモータ端子13は、小型で、端子全体にメッキ処理を施すので、低コストで施すことができることから、装置のコストが低減する。
モータ接続端子34のメッキ処理後、インサート成型される場合、インサート成型時にメッキ被膜の溶出により、モータ接続端子34の電気的信頼性を損なうおそれがあるが、モータ端子13は、メッキ処理後、モータ接続端子34に圧入されるので、この点においても、モータ端子13にメッキ処理を施す方が性能面・コスト面で有利である。
その上、両端子にメッキ処理を施した場合であれば、両端子のメッキ部分同士が接触しながら挿入されて、モータ端子13がモータ接続端子34を挟み込むので、挿入がスムーズになり、また、両端子はメッキ部分に覆われているので、端子表面が削られにくくなる。それゆえ、両端子の表面積は、端子表面が削られた場合に比べて小さいことから、端子表面は酸化しにくく、両端子の寿命が長くなり、装置の長寿命化を図ることができる。
発熱部品のうち、コイル40、コンデンサ41については、ヒートシンク35に形成された凹部35aに挿入されているので、コイル40、コンデンサ41からの発熱は、ヒートシンク35側の軸方向端面に加えて、外周面からもヒートシンク35に伝熱して放熱されることから、ヒートシンク35側の軸方向端面のみからヒートシンク35に伝熱して放熱される場合に比べて、電動式駆動装置の放熱性能が向上する。
なお、実施の形態1では、セラミック板に伝熱性のグリスまたは接着剤を塗布することで、部品間の接着熱抵抗が低減し、またコイル40、コンデンサ41とヒートシンク35の凹部35aとの隙間に、伝熱性のグリスまたは接着剤を塗布することで、コイル40、コンデンサ41からヒートシンク35への放熱が促進されるので、電動式駆動装置の放熱性能がさらに向上する。
実施の形態2に係る電動式駆動装置200の構造について、図7~図9を用いて説明する。図7は本発明の実施の形態2に係る電動式駆動装置200の断面図、図8は図7のパワーモジュール62の斜視図、図9はモータ端子13がモータ接続端子45に圧入された状態で固定される前であり、モータ端子13が開口部62aに接近した際の、パワーモジュール62の要部斜視図である。
図7~図9に示すように、実施の形態2に係る電動式駆動装置200は、パワーモジュール62の構成が実施の形態1で示したパワーモジュール21とは異なる。また、このパワーモジュールの変更に伴い、フレーム63の形状も実施の形態1で示したフレーム30とは異なる。他の構成は上記実施の形態1の電動式駆動装置100と同様であるので、詳細説明は省略する。
そして、モータ端子13は、このモジュールモータ接続端子22eを挟み込むことで、圧入された状態で固定され、両者は電気的に接続される。それゆえ、モジュールモータ接続端子22eは第2の端子であるモータ接続端子45と一体化して構成されている。したがって、モータ接続端子45は、パワーモジュール62と一体成型されている。
また、モータ接続端子45がパワーモジュール62と一体成型されると、モータ接続端子45の位置が固定されるので、モータ接続端子45の位置ずれが小さくなり、モータ端子13はモータ接続端子45を確実に挟み込むことができることから、電動式駆動装置の組立性が向上する。
上記各実施の形態において、第1の端子であるモータ端子は、電動モータから制御装置に向かって回転軸の軸線方向と平行に延出するとともに、第2の端子であるモータ接続端子に圧入された状態で固定されている。また、第2の端子であるモータ接続端子は、フレームにインサート成型されたり、パワーモジュールの開口部の内側に位置して固定されたりしている。そして、フレームやパワーモジュールは制御装置内であり、電動モータから比較的離れた位置にあるため、モータ端子の長さは、その断面積に比べて十分に長い。それゆえ、モータ端子とモータ接続端子との圧入時に、長い柱状のモータ端子に荷重が加わると、モータ端子が座屈等で変形を生じる場合がある。実施の形態3では、電動モータと制御装置とを連結するハウジングの電動モータ側に、絶縁性部材が位置して固定され、モータ接続端子が、この絶縁性部材を介してハウジングに固定されることで、モータ端子が短くなることから、モータ端子13が座屈等で変形を生じる場合が少なくなり、信頼性の向上した電動式駆動装置を提供することができる。
図10~図13に示すように、実施の形態3に係る電動式駆動装置300は、モータ接続端子46の位置が、実施の形態1、2で示したモータ接続端子(34、45)とは異なる。また、このモータ接続端子46の位置の変更に伴い、ハウジング66、パワーモジュール64およびフレーム65の形状も実施の形態1、2で示したハウジング36、パワーモジュール(21、62)およびフレーム(30、63)とは異なる。他の構成は上記実施の形態1、2の電動式駆動装置(100、200)と同様であるので、詳細説明は省略する。
また、パワーモジュール64を構成するリードフレーム22のうち、モジュールモータ接続端子22fは、フレーム65に形成された貫通孔65aを通過して、ハウジング66の電動モータ1側に延出している。
また、絶縁性部材42には、モータ端子13が挿入される挿入孔43aを有し、モータ端子13のスリット13aがモータ接続端子46を挟み込むことができるように、モータ端子13をガイドする絶縁性樹脂製のガイド部43が形成されている。そして、挿入孔43aは、軸方向に対して、電動モータ1側(入口)から制御装置20側(出口)に向かってガイド部43の軸方向断面が漸次狭くなるテーパ形状となっているので、モータ端子13が挿入孔43aを通過すると、モータ端子13の位置が矯正され、モータ接続端子46のある位置にモータ端子13をガイドすることができる。
また、絶縁性部材42は、モータ接続端子46をインサート成型されて形成されている。モータ接続端子46は、回転軸2と垂直な平面上に構成されており、その一端がL字状に曲げ加工され、絶縁性部材42から露出した接続部46aが形成されている。そして、図11(b)に示すように、接続部46aとモジュールモータ接続端子22fが溶接等の接合手段にて接続される。
よって、ハウジング66は、電動モータ1と制御装置20との間に位置して、フレーム65やパワーモジュール64よりも電動モータ1側に位置しているので、ハウジング66に固定されているモータ接続端子46も、電動モータ1側に位置しており、それゆえ、電動モータ1から制御装置20に向かって回転軸2の軸線方向と平行に延出するモータ端子(第1の端子)13が短くなることから、モータ端子13が座屈等で変形を生じる場合が少なくなり、信頼性の向上した電動式駆動装置を提供することができる。
特に、モータ端子13が、モータ接続端子46に比べて耐熱クリープ特性の高い特殊銅合金の板材をプレス加工することで形成される場合、モータ端子13が短くなるので、特殊銅合金の使用量が少なくなり、電動式駆動装置のコストが低減する。
なお、モータ端子13が短くなることに伴い、パワーモジュール64を構成するリードフレーム22であるモジュールモータ接続端子22fの長さは長くなり、位置ずれが生じるという懸念があるが、図12に示すように、モジュールモータ接続端子22fは、モータ接続端子46と溶接等の接合手段で接続される際、位置ずれは吸収されるので、モータ端子13がモータ接続端子46を挟み込む際の、モータ接続端子46の位置精度には影響しないことから、モータ端子13がモータ接続端子46を挟み込む際の位置精度が向上して、電動式駆動装置の組立性・信頼性が向上する。
なお、実施の形態3では、ガイド部43は、絶縁性部材42とは別部品にて構成した場合について示したが、絶縁性部材42、ガイド部43はともに絶縁性樹脂にて成型されるものであることから、両者を一体成型することができる。絶縁性部材42とガイド部43を絶縁性樹脂にて一体成型することで、組立工数が削減され、電動式駆動装置のコストを低減することができる。
その上、両部品を別部品にて構成した場合に比べて、ガイド部43の位置精度が向上することから、電動式駆動装置の組立性がさらに向上するとともに、電動式駆動装置の信頼性が向上する。さらに、実施の形態3において、ガイド部43は、図13に示すように、モータ端子13の周囲を覆うように形成されているので、絶縁性を確保することができ、電動式駆動装置の信頼性がさらに向上する。
また、モータ接続端子46が絶縁性部材42にインサート成型されると、モータ接続端子46の位置が固定されるので、モータ接続端子46の位置ずれが小さくなり、モータ端子13はモータ接続端子46を確実に挟み込むことができることから、電動式駆動装置の組立性が向上する。その上、モータ接続端子46が絶縁性部材42にインサート成型されることで、組立工数が削減され、コストを低減することができる
上記実施の形態1~3では、電動式パワーステアリング装置に用いられる電動式駆動装置(100、200、300)について説明した。実施の形態4では、上記実施の形態1~3に係る電動式駆動装置(100、200、300)が装着された電動式パワーステアリング装置のうち、実施の形態1に係る電動式駆動装置101が装着された電動式パワーステアリング装置について図14、図15を用いて説明する。図14は、本発明の実施の形態4に係る電動式パワーステアリング装置の断面図である。
