If there is such a portion without the flow path, there arises a problem that the rotating electric machine is not sufficiently cooled.

- the flow direction of the coolant 13 in the second flow path 52 is the direction along the outlet ⁇ from the angular position of 540 degrees.

This straight line corresponds to the wall portion 42 when forming the reference channel 55 . Forming the boundaries of the first flow path 51, the second flow path 52, and/or the third flow path 53 with straight lines in this way is generally based on the reference flow path 55, so that the pressure of the refrigerant 13 can be reduced.

- the coolant flow path 24 can sufficiently cool the first motor 20 .
- the refrigerant flow path 24 can sufficiently cool the first motor 20 without generating the high temperature portion 66 because the refrigerant flow path 24 includes at least the first flow path 51 and the second flow path. This is because the path 52 is provided.
- the first flow path 51 has a structure in which the width gradually increases from the inlet ⁇ . Therefore, the coolant flow path 24 has a structure in which the flow path non-formed portion 65 is not generated at the end portion of the heat generation range 45 on the side of at least one end face 38 by providing the first flow path 51 .
- the second flow path 52 has a structure in which the width gradually decreases toward the outlet ⁇ . Therefore, the coolant flow path 24 has a structure in which the flow path non-formed portion 65 does not occur at least at the end of the heat generation range 45 on the other end face 39 side by including the second flow path 52 .

Therefore, even in the first flow path 51 whose width is increased with respect to the reference flow path 55, the coolant 13 diffuses almost to every corner. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 , the coolant 13 easily diffuses to the corners of the sharply contracted portion 71 at the end of the first flow path 51 . As a result, the structure of the first flow path 51 sufficiently cools the portion of the heat generation range 45 on the one end face 38 side.

As a result, the structure of the second flow path 52 sufficiently cools the portion of the heat generation range 45 on the side of the other end surface 39 . In particular, since the coolant channel 24 is formed in a spiral shape, the flow direction of the coolant 13 in the rapidly expanding portion 72 is inclined toward the other end face 39 side.
- the coolant 13 flowing from the third flow path 53 flows in the direction of the wall portion 42 parallel to the other end face 39 .

That is, considering only the cooling performance for each motor that constitutes the rotating electrical machine, it is desirable that the inlet and outlet of the coolant flow path are not substantially separated from each other. However, when considering the cooling performance of the first motor 20 and/or the second motor 25 alone in this way, the refrigerant flow path 14 of the outer housing 10 becomes redundant, resulting in the disadvantage that the drive unit 100 cannot be configured compactly.

Abstract
Description
図2は、インナーハウジング21の斜視図である。図2では、第1モータ20のインナーハウジング21を示しているが、第2モータ25のインナーハウジング26もこれと同様の構造を有する。図2に示すように、第1モータ20のインナーハウジング21は、内管31と外管32とからなる二重管構造となっており、内管31と外管32の間に第1モータ20の冷媒流路24が形成される。
以下、上記のように構成される冷媒流路24の作用を、比較例の冷媒流路60と対比しながら説明する。
図12は、回転電機11全体の冷媒流路の構成を示す説明図である。図12に示すように、第1モータ20の冷媒流路24は、入口αからZ方向正方向に、いわゆる右巻き(右手巻き)の螺旋で延伸されて出口βに至る。これに対し、第2モータ25の冷媒流路29は、入口γからZ方向負方向に、いわゆる左巻き(左手巻き)の螺旋で延伸されて出口δに至る。すなわち、第1モータ20の冷媒流路24と第2モータ25の冷媒流路29は、ヘリシティ(あるいはカイラリティ)が異なり、互いに逆巻きの螺旋となっている。このように、第1モータ20の冷媒流路24と第2モータ25の冷媒流路29を互いに逆巻きの螺旋状に形成すると、無駄に長い接続管を設けなくても、第1モータ20の冷媒流路24と第2モータ25の冷媒流路29は、連結管30によって直線的に最短で接続され得る。このため、第1モータ20と第2モータ25は省スペースに配置され、コンパクトな回転電機11が提供される。また、第1モータ20の冷媒流路24と第2モータ25の冷媒流路29を互いに逆巻きの螺旋状に形成すると、アウターハウジング10に対する第1モータ20と第2モータ25の各取り付け面を容易に揃えることができ、各取り付け面が不揃いである場合よりも、第1モータ20と第2モータ25を省スペースに配置しやすい。
上記実施形態においては、第1モータ20の冷媒流路24は、第1流路51と第2流路52に加えて、これらを連結する第3流路53を備える。また、第2モータ25の冷媒流路29もこれと同様であり、第1流路91と第2流路92に加えて、これらを連結する第3流路93を備える。しかし、冷却性や圧力損失等を考慮して、第3流路53,93が省略される場合がある。この場合も、上記実施形態に係る冷媒流路24等と同様の効果が得られる。
上記実施形態においては、第1モータ20の冷媒流路24は第3流路53を備え、第2モータ25の冷媒流路29は第3流路93を備える。そして、これらの第3流路53,93は、インナーハウジング21,26の半周にわたって設けられている。しかし、第3流路53,93の巻数は、許容される圧力損失(以下、許容圧力損失という)や入口α,γ、出口β,δの各寸法等に応じて、適合により、任意に変更することができる。
