Drive unit

Abstract

A drive unit includes a drive motor, a speed reducer which outputs power of the drive motor at a reduced speed, and a drive unit case which accommodates the drive motor and the speed reducer. An output rotary shaft of the drive motor and an output rotary shaft of the speed reducer are arranged in parallel and aligned in a horizontal direction. The drive unit case has a motor chamber in which the drive motor is accommodated, and a gear chamber provided with an accommodating chamber in which the speed reducer is accommodated. The motor chamber and the gear chamber are divided by a dividing wall. An upper space and a lower space separated in an upper-lower direction by an upper-lower dividing wall extending from the dividing wall are formed between the motor chamber and the accommodating chamber.
