JUNCTION STRUCTURE AND JUNCTION METHOD OF ELECTRIC MOTOR AND CONTROL DEVICE THEREFOR, ACTUATOR EMPLOYING THE SAME, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DEVICE, AND VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform access from the outside regarding a junction portion between a conductive terminal from an electric motor and a control terminal from a control device for the electric motor even after a housing of the electric motor and a housing of the control device are bonded.SOLUTION: The conductive terminal from the electric motor protrudes and in the housing of the control device, a recess is provided in a portion opposite to a portion where the conductive terminal from the electric motor protrudes, on a connection surface with the electric motor. In the recess, a control terminal that is engaged to the conductive terminal from the electric motor is provided and on a side face of the housing of the control device neighboring to the connection surface, and an opening communicated from the side face to the recess is provided, thereby securing visibility and a touchable property to an engaging part of the conductive terminal and the control terminal. The conductive terminal from the electric motor is disposed along the side face where the opening is provided, of the housing of the control device in the case where the control device is connected to the electric motor on the connection surface of the housing of the electric motor with the control device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
