Patent ID: 10941768

Abstract:
A drive device includes a rotor, a stator, a housing including an accommodation portion to store oil, and a pump driven through a motor shaft. The pump includes an external gear fixed to an end on one side in an axial direction of the motor shaft, an internal gear surrounding a radial outside of the external gear and meshing with the external gear, a pump room accommodating the internal gear and the external gear, a suction port through which the oil is to be sucked into the pump room, and a discharge port through which the oil is to be discharged from the pump room. The housing includes an outer lid in which the pump room is provided. The outer lid includes a shaft insertion hole that penetrates the outer lid from a surface on the other side in the axial direction of the pump room to a surface on the other side in the axial direction of the outer lid, the motor shaft being inserted into the shaft insertion hole, and a support defining at least a portion of the surface on the other side in the axial direction of the pump room and at least a portion of a radially inside surface of the shaft insertion hole. The support journals the motor shaft on the radial outside of the motor shaft.
