Electric gear pump

An electric gear pump (4) comprising:

• a gerotor (9) rotatable about an axis of rotation (A);
• a support base (24) for the gerotor (9);
• a cover (27) joined to the support base (24), the cover (27) including an inner surface facing the gerotor (9) and an outer surface (31) opposite the inner surface and on an exterior of the gear pump (4);
• a feed duct (6) and a delivery duct (7);
• and
• electronic components (29) of a control unit (30) fastened on the outer surface (31) of the cover (27);
• wherein the feed duct (6) and the delivery duct (7) are at least partly formed in the cover (27) and each comprise an axial portion (37, 38) parallel to the axis (A) and an orthogonal portion (32, 33) orthogonal to the axis (A);
• wherein the outer surface (31) of the cover (27) comprises an inset portion (34);
• wherein each of the orthogonal portions (32, 33) of the feed duct (6) and of the delivery duct (7) has a portion which is configured so as to project externally from the inset portion (34) of the outer surface (31) of the cover (27) and which forms a projecting support portion (35, 36) for the electronic components (29) of the control unit (30),
• wherein the projecting support portions (35, 36) each have a dome-like section with a flat roof (39) configured to support the electronic components (29) of the control unit (30), and
• wherein the cover (27) has a raised perimetral edge (40) projecting from the inset portion (34) of the outer surface (31) by the same height (h) as the projecting support portions (35, 36).
