 本発明は、モータユニットに関する。 The present invention relates to a motor unit.
 近年、モータと減速機とをユニット化した車両用のモータユニットの開発が盛んに行われている。このようなモータユニットには、電気線および冷却用のホースなどの線状部材が接続され、モータユニットの外部に取回される。例えば、日本国公開公報:特開2009-177968号公報には、ロータの回転角を検出するレゾルバが設けられたモータにおいて、ハウジングからレゾルバ通信用のセンサハーネスが延び出る構造が記載されている。 In recent years, development of a motor unit for vehicles which unitized a motor and a reduction gear has been actively carried out.

 モータユニットに接続される線状部材は、車両の振動でばたつくことがある。このため、線状部材は、ブラケットなどの保持部材を介して、車両内部に固定される。このような構造を採用すると、ブラケットおよびその固定構造に要する部品点数が増加するのみならず、固定工程の増加によって製造コストが高まるという問題があった。 The linear members connected to the motor unit may flicker due to vehicle vibrations. For this reason, the linear member is fixed inside the vehicle via a holding member such as a bracket. Adoption of such a structure not only increases the number of parts required for the bracket and its fixing structure, but also increases the manufacturing cost due to the increase of the fixing process.
 本発明の一つの態様は、上記問題点に鑑みて、簡素な構造で線状部材を保持して線状部材のばたつきを抑制できるモータユニットの提供を目的の一つとする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-described problems, one aspect of the present invention aims to provide a motor unit capable of holding a linear member with a simple structure and suppressing rattling of the linear member.
 本発明のモータユニットの一つの態様は、モータ軸を中心として回転するロータを有するモータと、前記モータを収容するハウジングと、前記ハウジングの外周面に沿って取り回される可撓性の線状部材と、を備える。前記ハウジング部材は、前記モータを収容するハウジング本体と、板状の蓋部材と、を有する。前記ハウジング本体には、窓部が設けられる。前記蓋部材は、窓部を前記ハウジング本体の外側から覆う。前記蓋部材には、前記線状部材を保持する保持部が設けられる。 One aspect of the motor unit of the present invention is a motor having a rotor that rotates about a motor shaft, a housing that accommodates the motor, and a flexible linear wound around the outer peripheral surface of the housing. And a member. The housing member has a housing main body for housing the motor, and a plate-like lid member. The housing body is provided with a window.

 以下、図面を参照しながら、本発明の実施形態に係るモータユニットについて説明する。なお、本発明の範囲は、以下の実施の形態に限定されず、本発明の技術的思想の範囲内で任意に変更可能である。 Hereinafter, a motor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and can be arbitrarily changed within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
 以下の説明では、モータユニット1が水平な路面上に位置する車両に搭載された場合の位置関係を基に、重力方向を規定して説明する。また、図面においては、適宜3次元直交座標系としてXYZ座標系を示す。XYZ座標系において、Z軸方向は、鉛直方向(すなわち上下方向)を示し、+Z方向が上側(重力方向の反対側)であり、-Z方向が下側(重力方向)である。また、X軸方向は、Z軸方向と直交する方向であってモータユニット1が搭載される車両の前後方向を示し、+X方向が車両前方であり、-X方向が車両後方である。ただし、+X方向が車両後方であり、-X方向が車両前方となることもありうる。Y軸方向は、X軸方向とZ軸方向との両方と直交する方向であって、車両の幅方向(左右方向)を示し、+Y方向が車両左方であり、-Y方向が車両右方である。但し、+X方向が車両後方となる場合には、+Y方向が車両右方であり、-Y方向が車両左方となることもありうる。すなわち、X軸の方向に関わらず、単に+Y方向が車両左右方向の一方側となり、-Y方向が車両左右方向の他方側となる。 In the following description, the direction of gravity is defined and described based on the positional relationship when the motor unit 1 is mounted on a vehicle located on a horizontal road surface. In the drawings, an XYZ coordinate system is shown as a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system as appropriate. In the XYZ coordinate system, the Z-axis direction indicates the vertical direction (that is, the vertical direction), the + Z direction is the upper side (opposite the gravity direction), and the -Z direction is the lower side (gravity direction). The X-axis direction is a direction orthogonal to the Z-axis direction, and indicates the front-rear direction of the vehicle on which the motor unit 1 is mounted. The + X direction is the vehicle front, and the −X direction is the vehicle rear. However, the + X direction may be the rear of the vehicle and the −X direction may be the front of the vehicle. The Y-axis direction is a direction orthogonal to both the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction, and indicates the width direction (left-right direction) of the vehicle, the + Y direction is the vehicle left, and the -Y direction is the vehicle right It is. However, when the + X direction is the rear of the vehicle, the + Y direction may be the right of the vehicle and the −Y direction may be the left of the vehicle. That is, regardless of the direction of the X axis, the + Y direction is simply one side in the vehicle left-right direction, and the −Y direction is the other side in the vehicle left-right direction.
 以下の説明において特に断りのない限り、モータ2のモータ軸J2に平行な方向(Y軸方向)を単に「軸方向」と呼び、モータ軸J2を中心とする径方向を単に「径方向」と呼び、モータ軸J2を中心とする周方向、すなわち、モータ軸J2の軸周りを単に「周方向」と呼ぶ。ただし、上記の「平行な方向」は、略平行な方向も含む。 Unless otherwise noted in the following description, the direction (Y-axis direction) parallel to the motor axis J2 of the motor 2 is simply referred to as “axial direction”, and the radial direction centered on the motor axis J2 is simply referred to as “radial direction”. The circumferential direction around the motor axis J2, that is, around the axis of the motor axis J2, is simply referred to as "circumferential direction". However, the above-mentioned "parallel direction" also includes a substantially parallel direction.
 以下、図面を基に本発明の例示的な一実施形態に係るモータユニット(電動駆動装置)1について説明する。

 オイルOは、減速装置4および差動装置5の潤滑用として使用される。また、オイルOは、モータ2の冷却用として使用される。オイルOは、ギヤ室82内の下部領域(すなわちオイル溜りP)に溜る。オイルOは、潤滑油および冷却油の機能を奏するため、粘度の低いオートマチックトランスミッション用潤滑油(ATF:Automatic Transmission Fluid)と同等のものを用いることが好ましい。
<Oil>
As shown in FIG. 1, the oil O circulates in an oil passage 90 provided in the housing 6. The oil path 90 is a path of oil O which supplies the oil O from the oil reservoir P to the motor 2. The oil passage 90 circulates the oil O to cool the motor 2.
The oil O is used to lubricate the reduction gear 4 and the differential gear 5. The oil O is also used for cooling the motor 2. The oil O accumulates in the lower region (i.e., oil reservoir P) in the gear chamber 82. It is preferable to use an oil O equivalent to a low viscosity lubricating oil for automatic transmission (ATF: Automatic Transmission Fluid) in order to perform the functions of a lubricating oil and a cooling oil.
 <油路>
 図1に示すように、油路90は、ハウジング6に設けられる。油路90は、ハウジング6内の収容空間80に位置する。油路90は、収容空間80のモータ室81とギヤ室82とに跨って構成される。油路90は、オイルOをモータ2の下側のオイル溜りP(すなわち、収容空間80内の下部領域)からモータ2を経て、再びモータ2の下側のオイル溜りPに導くオイルOの経路である。
<Oil path>
As shown in FIG. 1, an oil passage 90 is provided in the housing 6. The oil passage 90 is located in the housing space 80 in the housing 6. The oil passage 90 is configured to straddle the motor chamber 81 and the gear chamber 82 of the accommodation space 80. The oil passage 90 is a path of oil O that guides the oil O from the oil reservoir P on the lower side of the motor 2 (that is, the lower region in the accommodation space 80) through the motor 2 to the oil reservoir P on the lower side of the motor 2 again. It is.
 なお、本明細書において、「油路」とは、収容空間80を循環するオイルOの経路を意味する。したがって、「油路」とは、定常的に一方向に向かう定常的なオイルの流動を形成する「流路」のみならず、オイルを一時的に滞留させる経路(例えばリザーバ)およびオイルが滴り落ちる経路をも含む概念である。 In the present specification, the “oil passage” means a passage of oil O circulating in the storage space 80. Therefore, the "oil path" is not only a "flow path" that forms a steady flow of oil in one direction in a steady manner, but also a path (for example, a reservoir) for temporarily retaining oil and dripping oil It is a concept that also includes the route.
 油路90は、モータ2の内部を通る第1の油路91と、モータ2の外部を通る第2の油路92と、を有する。オイルOは、第1の油路91および第2の油路92において、モータ2を内部および外部から冷却する。 The oil passage 90 has a first oil passage 91 passing through the inside of the motor 2 and a second oil passage 92 passing through the outside of the motor 2. The oil O cools the motor 2 from the inside and the outside in the first oil passage 91 and the second oil passage 92.
 (第1の油路)
 図1に示すように、第1の油路91において、オイルOは、オイル溜りPから差動装置5によりかき上げられて第1のリザーバ93において一時的に貯留された後に、ロータ20の内部に導かれる。オイルOには、ロータ20の内部で、ロータ20の回転に伴う遠心力が付与される。これにより、オイルOは、ロータ20を径方向外側から囲むステータ30に向かって均等に拡散されステータ30を冷却する。
(First oil path)
As shown in FIG. 1, in the first oil passage 91, the oil O is scraped up from the oil reservoir P by the differential device 5 and temporarily stored in the first reservoir 93. Led to The oil O is given a centrifugal force associated with the rotation of the rotor 20 inside the rotor 20. Thus, the oil O is uniformly diffused toward the stator 30 surrounding the rotor 20 from the radial outer side, and cools the stator 30.
 ステータ30に到達したオイルOは、ステータ30から熱を奪う。ステータ30を冷却したオイルOは、下側に滴下され、モータ室81内の下部領域に溜る。モータ室81内の下部領域に溜ったオイルOは、隔壁61cに設けられた隔壁開口68を介してギヤ室82に移動する。 The oil O that has reached the stator 30 removes heat from the stator 30. The oil O which has cooled the stator 30 is dropped downward, and is accumulated in the lower region in the motor chamber 81. The oil O accumulated in the lower region in the motor chamber 81 moves to the gear chamber 82 through the partition opening 68 provided in the partition 61 c.
 (第2の油路)
 図1に示すように、第2の油路92においてオイルOは、オイル溜りPからモータ2の上側まで引き上げられてモータ2に供給される。モータ2に供給されたオイルOは、ステータ30の外周面を伝いながら、ステータ30から熱を奪い、モータ2を冷却する。ステータ30の外周面を伝ったオイルOは、下方に滴下してモータ室81内の下部領域に溜る。第2の油路92のオイルOは、第1の油路91のオイルOとモータ室81内の下部領域で合流する。モータ室81内の下部領域に溜ったオイルOは、隔壁開口68を介して、ギヤ室82内の下部領域(すなわち、オイル溜りP)に移動する。
(Second oil path)
As shown in FIG. 1, the oil O is pulled up from the oil reservoir P to the upper side of the motor 2 in the second oil passage 92 and supplied to the motor 2. The oil O supplied to the motor 2 takes heat from the stator 30 while cooling along the outer peripheral surface of the stator 30 to cool the motor 2. The oil O transmitted along the outer peripheral surface of the stator 30 drips downward and accumulates in the lower region in the motor chamber 81. The oil O of the second oil passage 92 merges with the oil O of the first oil passage 91 in the lower region of the motor chamber 81. The oil O accumulated in the lower region in the motor chamber 81 moves to the lower region (i.e., the oil reservoir P) in the gear chamber 82 through the partition opening 68.
 第2の油路92には、ポンプ96が設けられる。ポンプ96は、第2の油路92中のオイルOを循環させる。ポンプ96は、電気により駆動する電動ポンプである。ポンプ96は、ハウジング6の外周面に設けられる。ポンプ96は、ポンプモータ96mを有する。ポンプ96は、第1の流路92aを介してオイル溜りPからオイルOを吸い上げて、第2の流路92b、クーラー97、第3の流路92cおよび第2のリザーバ98を介してモータ2に供給する。 A pump 96 is provided in the second oil passage 92.

Supply to
 第2の油路92には、クーラー97が設けられる。クーラー97は、第2の油路92中のオイルOを冷却する。クーラー97は、ハウジング6の外周面に設けられる。クーラー97には、ラジエーター(図示略)で冷却された冷却水を通過させる冷却水用配管97jが接続される。クーラー97の内部を通過するオイルOは、冷却水用配管97jを通過する冷却水との間で熱交換されて冷却される。なお、冷却水用配管97jの経路中には、インバータユニット8が設けられる。冷却水用配管97jを通過する冷却水は、インバータユニット8を冷却する。 A cooler 97 is provided in the second oil passage 92. The cooler 97 cools the oil O in the second oil passage 92. The cooler 97 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the housing 6. Connected to the cooler 97 is a cooling water pipe 97j that allows the cooling water cooled by a radiator (not shown) to pass. The oil O passing through the inside of the cooler 97 is cooled by heat exchange with the cooling water passing through the cooling water pipe 97j. An inverter unit 8 is provided in the path of the cooling water pipe 97j. The cooling water passing through the cooling water pipe 97j cools the inverter unit 8.

The second reservoir 98 is located in the motor chamber 81 of the accommodation space 80. The second reservoir 98 temporarily stores the oil pulled up from the oil reservoir P to the upper side of the motor 2 by the pump 96. The second reservoir 98 is located above the motor. The second reservoir 98 has a plurality of outlets 98a. The oil O accumulated in the second reservoir 98 is supplied to the motor 2 from each outlet 98 a. The oil O flowing out from the outlet 98 a of the second reservoir 98 flows from the upper side to the lower side along the outer peripheral surface of the motor 2 to remove the heat of the motor 2. Thereby, the whole motor 2 can be cooled.
 コイル31を冷却したオイルOは、下側に滴下され、モータ室81内の下部領域に溜る。モータ室81内の下部領域に溜ったオイルOは、隔壁61cに設けられた隔壁開口68を介してギヤ室82に移動する。 The oil O which has cooled the coil 31 is dropped downward, and is accumulated in the lower region in the motor chamber 81.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the motor unit 1.
The inverter unit 8 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the housing 6 facing radially outward. Inverter unit 8 is electrically connected to motor 2 via a bus bar (not shown). The bus bar unit 8 controls the rotation of the motor 2.
 図4に示すように、モータユニット1は、ハウジング6の外周面に沿って取り回される複数の可撓性の線状部材(信号線11、電源線12およびホース13)を備える。 As shown in FIG. 4, the motor unit 1 includes a plurality of flexible linear members (the signal line 11, the power supply line 12 and the hose 13) which are wound along the outer peripheral surface of the housing 6.
 信号線11は、回転角センサ9とインバータユニット8とを繋ぐ。信号線11は、可撓性の線状部材の一例である。信号線11は、回転角センサ9における検出結果をインバータユニット8に伝達する。インバータユニット8は、回転角センサ9で検出したロータ20の回転角を基に、モータ2に供給される電流を制御する。 The signal line 11 connects the rotation angle sensor 9 and the inverter unit 8. The signal line 11 is an example of a flexible linear member. The signal line 11 transmits the detection result of the rotation angle sensor 9 to the inverter unit 8. The inverter unit 8 controls the current supplied to the motor 2 based on the rotation angle of the rotor 20 detected by the rotation angle sensor 9.
 電源線12は、インバータユニット8とポンプ96とを繋ぐ。電源線12は、可撓性の線状部材の一例である。電源線12は、インバータユニット8からポンプ96に電力を供給する。より具体的には、インバータユニット8は、ポンプ96のポンプモータ96m(図1参照)に電力を供給して、ポンプ96の駆動を制御する。信号線11と電源線12とは、第1の結束バンド66によって束ねられている。 The power supply line 12 connects the inverter unit 8 and the pump 96. The power supply line 12 is an example of a flexible linear member. The power supply line 12 supplies power from the inverter unit 8 to the pump 96. More specifically, inverter unit 8 supplies power to pump motor 96m (see FIG. 1) of pump 96 to control the drive of pump 96. The signal line 11 and the power supply line 12 are bundled by a first binding band 66.
 ホース13は、クーラー97とインバータユニット8とを繋ぐ。ホース13は、可撓性の線状部材の一例である。ホース13には、クーラー97内を通過するオイルOおよびインバータユニット8を冷却する冷媒(冷却水)が流れる。ホース13は、冷却水用配管97jの一部である。図1に示すように、冷却水用配管97jは、ラジエータ(図示略)からインバータユニット8およびクーラー97を通過しラジエータに戻る管路を有する。冷却水用配管97jは、内部を流れる冷媒によって、インバータユニット8およびクーラー97内のオイルOを冷却する。ホース13は、冷却水用配管97jのインバータユニット8からクーラー97までの管路に相当する。 The hose 13 connects the cooler 97 and the inverter unit 8. The hose 13 is an example of a flexible linear member. The oil O passing through the inside of the cooler 97 and the refrigerant (cooling water) for cooling the inverter unit 8 flow through the hose 13. The hose 13 is a part of the cooling water pipe 97j. As shown in FIG. 1, the cooling water pipe 97 j has a pipeline that passes from the radiator (not shown) through the inverter unit 8 and the cooler 97 and returns to the radiator. The cooling water pipe 97j cools the oil O in the inverter unit 8 and the cooler 97 by the refrigerant flowing inside. The hose 13 corresponds to a pipe line from the inverter unit 8 to the cooler 97 of the cooling water pipe 97 j.
 図4に示すように、インバータユニット8は、ハウジング6の外周面と対向する対向面8fと、対向面8fと直交する接続面8aと、を有する。接続面8aは、軸方向と直交する面に沿って延びる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the inverter unit 8 has an opposing surface 8 f facing the outer peripheral surface of the housing 6 and a connecting surface 8 a orthogonal to the opposing surface 8 f. The connection surface 8a extends along a plane orthogonal to the axial direction.
 接続面8aには、信号線11が接続される第1の端子接続部8bと、電源線12が接続される第2の端子接続部8cと、ホース13が接続されるホース接続部8dと、が配置される。 The first terminal connection portion 8b to which the signal line 11 is connected, the second terminal connection portion 8c to which the power supply line 12 is connected, and the hose connection portion 8d to which the hose 13 is connected to the connection surface 8a; Is placed.
 第1の端子接続部8bと第2の端子接続部8cとは、接続面8aと対向面8fとの稜線に沿って並ぶ。すなわち、第1の端子接続部8bと第2の端子接続部8cとは、接続面8aにおいてハウジング6の外周面に沿って並ぶ。本実施形態によれば、インバータユニット8の近傍において、信号線11と電源線12とを近接して取り回すことができる。これにより、信号線11と電源線12とを第1の結束バンド66によって束ねることができる。結果的に、信号線11と電源線12とのばたつきを抑制できる。
 なお、本実施形態のホース接続部8dは、ハウジング6の外周面に沿って配置されていない。しかしながら、ホース接続部8dは、第1の端子接続部8bおよび第2の端子接続部8cとともに、ハウジング6の外周面に沿って並んで配置されてもよい。この場合、第1の結束バンド66が、信号線11および電源線12とともにホース13を束ねることができる。
The first terminal connection portion 8 b and the second terminal connection portion 8 c are arranged along a ridge line of the connection surface 8 a and the opposing surface 8 f. That is, the first terminal connection portion 8 b and the second terminal connection portion 8 c are arranged along the outer peripheral surface of the housing 6 in the connection surface 8 a. According to the present embodiment, the signal line 11 and the power supply line 12 can be arranged close to each other in the vicinity of the inverter unit 8. Thereby, the signal line 11 and the power supply line 12 can be bundled by the first binding band 66. As a result, the rattling between the signal line 11 and the power supply line 12 can be suppressed.
The hose connection portion 8 d of the present embodiment is not disposed along the outer peripheral surface of the housing 6. However, the hose connection portion 8 d may be arranged side by side along the outer peripheral surface of the housing 6 together with the first terminal connection portion 8 b and the second terminal connection portion 8 c. In this case, the first binding band 66 can bundle the hose 13 together with the signal line 11 and the power supply line 12.
 図4に示すように、ハウジング6の蓋部材64には、信号線11、電源線12およびホース13を保持する複数の第2の結束バンド(結束バンド、保持部)65が設けられる。 As shown in FIG. 4, the lid member 64 of the housing 6 is provided with a plurality of second binding bands (banding band, holding portion) 65 for holding the signal line 11, the power source line 12 and the hose 13.
 蓋部材64には、蓋部材64の周縁から径方向外側に突出する複数の突出部64aが設けられる。複数の突出部64aには、それぞれ軸方向に貫通する貫通孔64bが設けられる。すなわち、蓋部材64には、複数の貫通孔64bが設けられる。貫通孔64bには、それぞれ第2の結束バンド65が通される。複数の第2の結束バンド65は、それぞれ貫通孔64bに通されて信号線11、電源線12およびホース13のうち少なくとも1つに巻き付く。これにより、第2の結束バンド65は、信号線11、電源線12およびホース13を蓋部材64に固定する。 The lid member 64 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 64 a that protrude radially outward from the peripheral edge of the lid member 64. The plurality of protrusions 64 a are provided with through holes 64 b penetrating in the axial direction. That is, the lid member 64 is provided with a plurality of through holes 64 b. The second binding bands 65 are respectively passed through the through holes 64 b. The plurality of second binding bands 65 are respectively passed through the through holes 64 b and wound around at least one of the signal line 11, the power supply line 12 and the hose 13. Thereby, the second binding band 65 fixes the signal line 11, the power supply line 12 and the hose 13 to the lid member 64.
 本実施形態において、突出部64a、貫通孔64bおよび第2の結束バンド65の数は、4つである。本実施形態において、4つの第2の結束バンド65のうち2つの第2の結束バンド65は、電源線12およびホース13を束ねて保持する。電源線12およびホース13は、インバータユニット8の接続面8aからモータ2の下側に向かって延びる。また、電源線12およびホース13は、蓋部材64の周縁に沿って共通の経路で取り回される。電源線12およびホース13は、蓋部材64の周縁に沿って取り回される部分において、第2の結束バンド65により束ねられて保持される。このため、第2の結束バンド65の数量を抑制し、第2の結束バンド65による固定する工程に要する時間を短縮することができる。 In the present embodiment, the number of the protrusions 64a, the through holes 64b, and the second binding bands 65 is four. In the present embodiment, two second bundling bands 65 out of the four second bundling bands 65 bundle and hold the power supply line 12 and the hose 13. The power supply line 12 and the hose 13 extend from the connection surface 8 a of the inverter unit 8 toward the lower side of the motor 2. Also, the power supply line 12 and the hose 13 are routed along a common path along the peripheral edge of the lid member 64. The power supply wire 12 and the hose 13 are bundled and held by the second binding band 65 at a portion around the periphery of the lid member 64. Therefore, the number of second binding bands 65 can be suppressed, and the time required for the process of fixing by the second binding bands 65 can be shortened.
 一方で、信号線11は、ハウジング6の上側を向く面に接続される。このため、信号線11は、電源線12およびホース13と共通の経路で取り回されている領域が少ない。信号線11は、複数の第2の結束バンド65のうち最も上側に位置する第2の結束バンド65によって単独で蓋部材64に固定される。
 なお、本実施形態では、第1の結束バンド66で、信号線11と電源線12とを束ねている。しかしながら、信号線11と電源線12の取り回しを調節することで、第2の結束バンド65により信号線11と電源線12とを束ねて固定してもよい。
On the other hand, the signal line 11 is connected to the upper surface of the housing 6. For this reason, the signal line 11 has a small area surrounded by the same path as the power supply line 12 and the hose 13. The signal line 11 is independently fixed to the lid member 64 by the second binding band 65 positioned on the uppermost side among the plurality of second binding bands 65.

 <<蓋部材の変形例>>
 図5は、変形例の蓋部材164を備えるモータユニット101の側面図である。本変形例の蓋部材164は、上述の実施形態と比較して、保持部165の構成が主に異なる。なお、上述の実施形態と同一態様の構成要素については、同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。
<< Modification of lid member >>
FIG. 5 is a side view of a motor unit 101 provided with a lid member 164 of a modified example. The lid member 164 of this modification mainly differs in the configuration of the holding portion 165 from the above-described embodiment. In addition, about the component of the aspect same as the above-mentioned embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
 蓋部材164には、線状部材(信号線11、電源線12およびホース13のうち少なくとも1つ)を保持する複数の保持部165が設けられる。 The lid member 164 is provided with a plurality of holding portions 165 for holding the linear members (at least one of the signal line 11, the power supply line 12 and the hose 13).
 本変形例において、蓋部材164と保持部165とは、単一の部材である。蓋部材164および保持部165は、板状である。蓋部材164および保持部165は、金属材料から構成される。蓋部材164および保持部165は、プレス加工により製造される。 In the present modification, the lid member 164 and the holding portion 165 are a single member. The lid member 164 and the holding portion 165 have a plate shape. The lid member 164 and the holding portion 165 are made of a metal material. The lid member 164 and the holding portion 165 are manufactured by press processing.
 保持部165は、蓋部材164の周縁から径方向外側に突出する。保持部165は、径方向外側に向かって矩形状に延びる。保持部165は、図5の紙面後方に向かって曲げ加工されている。これより、保持部165は、線状部材(信号線11、電源線12およびホース13のうち少なくとも1つ)に巻き付けられる。 The holding portion 165 protrudes radially outward from the peripheral edge of the lid member 164. The holding portion 165 extends in a rectangular shape outward in the radial direction. The holding portion 165 is bent toward the rear of the sheet of FIG. Thus, the holding portion 165 is wound around the linear member (at least one of the signal wire 11, the power supply wire 12 and the hose 13).
 保持部165を線状部材に巻き付ける工程は、組み立て工程を行う作業者によって実施される。組み立て工程において、作業者は、線状部材を蓋部材164の周縁に沿わせて配置する。この段階で、保持部165は、径方向と直交する面に沿って直線状に延びている。次いで作業者は、保持部165が線状部材に巻き付けるように保持部165を曲げ加工する。以上の工程を経ることで、線状部材を蓋部材164に保持させることができる。 The process of winding the holding portion 165 around the linear member is performed by a worker performing the assembly process. In the assembly process, the worker arranges the linear members along the periphery of the lid member 164. At this stage, the holding portion 165 extends linearly along a plane perpendicular to the radial direction. Next, the worker bends the holding portion 165 so that the holding portion 165 is wound around the linear member. The linear member can be held by the lid member 164 through the above steps.
 本実施形態によれば、板状の蓋部材164に、線状部材(信号線11、電源線12およびホース13のうち少なくとも1つ)を保持する保持部165が設けられる。保持部165は、板状であるため、加工が容易である。このため、保持部165を折り曲げることで、部品点数を増加させることなく線状部材を蓋部材164に固定することができる。すなわち、本実施形態のモータユニット101によれば、簡素な構造で線状部材を保持して線状部材のばたつきを抑制できる。 According to the present embodiment, the plate-like lid member 164 is provided with the holding portion 165 for holding the linear member (at least one of the signal line 11, the power supply line 12, and the hose 13). The holding portion 165 has a plate shape and is thus easily processed. Therefore, by bending the holding portion 165, the linear member can be fixed to the lid member 164 without increasing the number of parts. That is, according to the motor unit 101 of the present embodiment, it is possible to hold the linear member with a simple structure and suppress the rattling of the linear member.
