Electric pump

An electric pump comprising:

• a rotary shaft having a first end region and a second end region in an axial direction;
• a motor rotor located in the first axial end region of the rotary shaft;
• a motor stator, which surrounds the motor rotor in the circumferential direction;
• a motor case, which accommodates the motor rotor and the motor stator, the motor case having a first open end to which the first housing portion is assembled, a second open end which is located on the opposite side to the first open end;
• a cover member provided at the second open end of the motor case, the cover member forming an accommodating space for a circuit board,
• a pump rotor located in the second axial end region of the rotary shaft;
• and
• a pump housing, which rotationally supports the rotary shaft and holds the pump rotor, wherein
• the pump housing includes a first housing portion and a second housing portion, the first housing portion having an accommodating recess, which opens toward the motor rotor and accommodates the pump rotor, the second housing portion having a blocking portion closing the accommodating recess,
• the accommodating recess and the blocking portion form a pump chamber, and
• the first housing portion has a suction port for drawing fluid into the pump chamber and a discharge port for discharging the fluid drawn into the pump chamber to the outside of the pump chamber;
• wherein the motor case and the cover member are made of a metal material having ferromagnetic property, and the motor case is electrically conducted to the cover member and the pump housing.
