    Abstract: A first rotating electric machine and a second rotating electric machine are spaced apart from each other in an axial direction. An inverter unit is disposed between the first rotating electric machine and the second rotating electric machine in the axial direction in such a manner as to overlap the first rotating electric machine and the second rotating electric machine as viewed in the axial direction. A case includes a case body member that has, in an integrated manner: a partition wall section; a section being other than the partition wall section and serving as at least a portion of a first containment chamber; and a second containment chamber section being a section other than the partition wall section and serving as at least a portion of the second containment chamber.

    Abstract: A left-right wheel driving device (10) includes: a casing (15) including a reservoir (18) that stores oil; a suction port (19) that is disposed on the reservoir (18) and that sucks the oil from the reservoir (18); and two gears (34) that are each having helical teeth, that are supported so as to be rotatable about a rotating shaft (13) at least in one direction (D), that are provided on a power transmission path that transmits power to left and right wheels of a vehicle, and that are spaced apart from each other. The suction port (19) is positioned between the two gears (34). Each of the gears (34) is offset from the suction port in an axial direction of the rotating shaft (13), being in a state of being partially immersed in the oil stored in the reservoir (18). The helical teeth of each of the gears (34) extend in the one direction (D) and in a direction that departs from the suction port (19).

    Abstract: The disclosed vehicle drive device (10) includes: motor housings (11,12), a gearbox housing (13), an inverter case (14), and a PN line (9). The motor housings (11,12) form respective exteriors of a left motor (1) and a right motor (2) that drive left and right wheels of a vehicle with electric power of a battery. The gearbox housing (13) incorporates therein a gearbox (3) that amplifies torque of the left and right motors and that transmits the amplified torque to the left and right wheels, is sandwiched between the left and right motor housings (11,12), and is offset in a front-rear direction from the left and right motor housings (11,12). The inverter case (14) incorporates therein a pair of semiconductor modules (6,7) and is arranged above the left and right motor housings (11,12). The PN line (9) connects the battery to the semiconductor modules (6,7) from a lower surface side of the inverter case (14) so as to pass through a first space (41).

    Abstract: The disclosed vehicle drive device (10) includes: left and right motors (1,2) that drive left and right wheels of the vehicle; a gearbox (3) that is sandwiched between the left and right motors (1,2); and an inverter (4) that is arranged in a mounting space (S) over the left and right motors (1,2) and the gearbox (3). The gearbox (3) forms, in conjunction with respective motor housings (11,12) of the left and right motors (1,2), a depressed portion (8) depressed downward. The inverter (4) includes a cover (15) that is in a flat-plate shape, is attached to a tray unit (16), and covers the capacitor (5) and a semiconductor module (6) from above the capacitor (5) and the semiconductor module (6). The capacitor (5) is attached to a lower surface of the cover (15) and is arranged in the depressed portion (8). The semiconductor module (6) is attached to the lower surface of the cover (15) and is displaced from each of the capacitor (5) and the rotating shafts (C) of the motors (1,2) when seen from above.
