Motor-type power device
Due to a centrifugal force in a vehicle width direction due to turning of an automobile, oil in an electric motor housing chamber housing an electric motor and oil in a transmission housing chamber housing a reduction gear and a differential gear flows to-and-fro via oil communication passages that penetrate a partitioning wall. An opening on the transmission housing chamber side of the oil communication passages is spaced from the partitioning wall. Hence, when oil moves from the transmission housing chamber side to the electric motor housing chamber side, it is possible to prevent the oil quantity on the electric motor housing chamber side from increasing excessively and suppress an increase in resistance to oil stirring by a rotor of the electric motor while retaining a constant oil amount on the transmission housing chamber side to ensure lubricating performance for the reduction gear and the differential gear.
1. A motor power device, comprising:
an electric motor having a rotor shaft;
a differential gear;
a reduction gear;
a pair of output shafts of said differential gear, one of said output shafts of said differential gear being disposed inside said rotor shaft; and
a resolver that detects a rotational position of said rotor shaft;
wherein an end of said rotor shaft on a side that is most distant from said differential gear, among the two ends of said rotor shaft, is supported by a case through a first bearing;
wherein said resolver is disposed on an outer side of said first bearing in an axial direction; and
wherein a first oil sac that holds oil is defined between said first bearing and a magnetic shield that magnetically shields said resolver from said electric motor.
2. The motor power device according to claim 1 ,
wherein said one of said output shafts of said differential gear which is disposed inside said rotor shaft is supported by a second bearing and a seal member on a cover member that is joined to an outer side of said case in the axial direction;
wherein a second oil sac that holds oil is defined between said seal member and said magnetic shield; and
wherein an upper portion of said second oil sac is in communication with a breather passage.
