A drive device includes a motor, a control board, a connector located between the motor and the control board in a predetermined direction, and a solder connecting a motor wire and the control board. The control board has a through-hole opening on an upper side and on a lower side. The connector includes a support portion that protrudes toward the control board such that a tip surface of the support portion is in contact with the lower side of the control board, a guide portion that has a guide hole through which the motor wire passes, the guide hole opening on a lower side and on an upper side. The upper side of the connector is spaced from the lower side of the control board in the predetermined direction. A fillet of the solder is formed on both the upper side and the lower side of the control board.

Each of a power-source bus bar and a grounding bus bar provided in a driving apparatus has a terminal portion to be connected with output terminals of a power module and a bending portion bent in a direction perpendicular to a first surface of a bus bar holder; the bending portion is disposed between a smoothing capacitor and the power module; the power-source bus bar and the grounding bus bar are arranged in such a way as to face each other.

The present invention provides steer-by-wire steering apparatuses that are capable of generating a counter force for improving steering feel with a simple structure and are particularly suitable for an autonomous vehicle by virtue of a reduced size.

An electronic apparatus includes a wiring board. The wiring board includes a wiring and a through-hole and is provided by dividing a multi-board providing board into the wiring board. The electronic apparatus further includes a circuit component having a surface mounting structure, mounted to the wiring board, and electrically connected to the wiring. A side wall of the wiring board has a cut portion that is provided when cutting and dividing the multi-board providing board. In the wiring board, the through-hole is formed adjacent to the cut portion without arranging the circuit component between the cut portion and the through-hole.

A vehicle steering system includes a rack shaft, a pinion shaft, a housing including a rack shaft receiving portion and a pinion shaft receiving portion, and a cover member disposed above the pinion shaft receiving portion. A part of the pinion shaft projects upward from an upper end opening of the pinion shaft receiving portion. The cover member includes a hood portion and an annular side wall portion. The pinion shaft is inserted through the hood portion. The side wall portion includes a valve portion capable of coming into abutment with an outer circumferential surface of the pinion shaft receiving portion.

A bush attached to a through hole of a casing of a motor holds a conductor. The bush includes a main body, an insertion hole, a flange, and a rib. The main body includes a first end surface, a second end surface facing the first end surface in a first direction, and side surfaces between the first end surface and the second end surface. The insertion hole penetrates an inside of the main body in the first direction, and allows the conductor to pass through. The flange protrudes from a side surface in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The rib protrudes from the side surface in a direction perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the first direction.

First and second sets of magnet assemblies and magnetic assemblies are alternately arranged in a circumferential direction in a first portion along an axial direction, and the first and second sets are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction in a second portion along the axial direction. When viewed in the axial direction, the first set of the first portion and the second set of the second portion overlap with each other, and the second set of the first portion and the first set of the second portion overlap with each other.

In an aspect of a power conversion device that converts power from a power source to supply the converted power to a motor, the power conversion device includes an inverter connected to a winding of the motor and including a first switching element that generates heat in association with an operation of power control and a second switching element that generates more heat than the first switching element in association with an operation of power control, and a substrate on which the first switching element and the second switching element are mounted, wherein a first element group including one or a plurality of the first switching elements and a second element group including one or a plurality of the second switching elements are alternately mounted on the substrate.

A power supply system includes a system control unit, an auxiliary power supply, and an auxiliary-power-supply control unit. The system control unit and the auxiliary-power-supply control unit are configured such that information of at least one control unit of the system control unit and the auxiliary-power-supply control unit is able to be output to another control unit of the system control unit and the auxiliary-power-supply control unit. The at least one control unit is configured to output information indicating that an operation of the at least one control unit is stopped to the other control unit when the at least one control unit stops the operation of the at least one control unit.

Switching elements are mounted on a substrate and switch energization of motor windings. A lead wire set connects phase coils of the motor windings to the substrate. The switching elements, the lead wire set, a power terminal which is a power supply terminal and a ground terminal, and a control circuit unit are provided for each system. The switching elements, the lead wire set and the power terminal are collectively arranged in a power region for each system, and the lead wire sets are arranged in rotational symmetry.
