Abstract

A motor driving control device for a vehicle that includes: a circuit board on which is packaged a circuit that generates the voltage applied to windings of a motor, the circuit board having a ground region; a heat dissipating member that dissipates heat from the circuit board, and that is electrically connected to the ground region on the circuit board; a supporting member that holds the circuit board and a bearing member of the motor, and that has an insulating surface; and an electrically-conductive member that is provided at a surface of the supporting member, and that, by electrically connecting the bearing member and the heat dissipating member, grounds a rotating body, an output shaft and the bearing member of the motor.

Claims (16)

1. A motor driving control device for a vehicle, comprising:

a motor having a rotating body that rotates due to application of a magnetic field generated by voltage applied to windings, an output shaft that is structured integrally with the rotating body, and a bearing member that holds the output shaft such that the output shaft rotates freely;

a circuit board on which is packaged a circuit that generates the voltage applied to the windings, the circuit board having a ground region;

a heat dissipating member that dissipates heat from the circuit board, and that is electrically connected to the ground region on the circuit board;

a supporting member that holds the circuit board and the bearing member, and that has an insulating surface; and

an electrically-conductive member that is provided at a surface of the supporting member, and that, by electrically connecting the bearing member and the heat dissipating member, grounds the rotating body, the output shaft and the bearing member.

2. The motor driving control device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein:

the supporting member has a bearing member holding portion that holds the bearing member, and

a first end of the electrically-conductive member extends to an inner wall of the bearing member holding portion and planarly-contacts a peripheral direction side surface of the bearing member, and, at a time when the circuit board, on which the heat dissipating member is packaged, is held by the supporting member, a second end of the electrically-conductive member contacts the heat dissipating member.

3. The motor driving control device for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein:

the inner wall of the bearing member holding portion has an accommodation recess for holding the bearing member, and

the first end of the electrically-conductive member is accommodated in the accommodation recess of the bearing member holding portion.

4. The motor driving control device for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein:

the heat dissipating member has a region that faces the supporting member at the time when the circuit board, on which the heat dissipating member is packaged, is held by the supporting member, and

at the time when the circuit board, on which the heat dissipating member is packaged, is held by the supporting member, the second end of the electrically-conductive member is nipped by the supporting member and by the region of the heat dissipating member that faces the supporting member.

5. The motor driving control device for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein a potential of the ground region of the circuit board is a ground potential due to a connector member that is electrically connected to the ground region.
