Abstract
An in-wheel motor drive device includes: a motor case housing a motor provided in a wheel of a drive wheel; a reduction gear case housing a reduction gear; and a plurality of fastening bolts for fastening the motor case and the reduction gear case. Further, among the plurality of fastening bolts, a pair of fastening bolts facing each other across a stator coil end portion of the motor is arranged on a same straight line in a radial direction orthogonal to an axis direction of the motor.
Claims1
An in-wheel motor drive device comprising:
- a motor case housing a motor provided in a drive wheel;
- a reduction gear case housing a reduction gear for decelerating a rotation of the motor and outputting the decelerated rotation from an output shaft to the drive wheel;
- and
- a plurality of fastening bolts for fastening the motor case and the reduction gear case in a state where a mating surface of the motor case and a mating surface of the reduction gear case are combined,
- wherein among the plurality of fastening bolts, a pair of fastening bolts facing each other across a stator coil end portion of the motor is arranged on a same straight line in a radial direction orthogonal to an axis direction of the motor, and
- wherein a sealing material is provided between the mating surface of the motor case and the mating surface of the reduction gear case and on an inner side of one of the pair of fastening bolts in the radial direction, the one of the pair of fastening bolts being provided on an inner side of the stator coil end portion in the radial direction.
