ROTARY ELECTRIC MACHINE, AND DRIVE UNIT

To provide a rotary electric machine having structure which can be miniaturized, and a drive unit.SOLUTION: A rotary electric machine 10 comprises: a rotor 30; a stator; a housing 20; an inverter device 80; a bus bar 84a; and a hollow pipe member 50 accommodated inside the housing 20. The inside of the housing 20 is provided with: a first area 24a located between an outer surface of a stator core 41 and an inner surface of the housing 20 by being viewed in an axial direction; and a second area 24b located between the outer surface of the stator core 41 and the inner surface of the housing 20 by being viewed in the axial direction, and arranged at an interval from the first area 24a in a circumferential direction. The second area 24b is wider than the first area 24a. The pipe member 50 overlaps the first area 24a by being viewed in the axial direction. The bus bar 84a overlaps the second area 24b by being viewed in the axial direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】小型化できる構造を有する回転電機、および駆動装置を提供する。【解決手段】回転電機１０は、ロータ３０と、ステータと、ハウジング２０と、インバータ装置８０と、バスバー８４ａと、ハウジング２０の内部に収容された中空の管部材５０と、を備える。ハウジング２０の内部には、軸方向に見て、ステータコア４１の外面とハウジング２０の内面との間に位置する第１領域２４ａと、軸方向に見て、ステータコア４１の外面とハウジング２０の内面との間に位置し、第１領域２４ａに対して周方向に間隔を空けて配置された第２領域２４ｂと、が設けられている。第２領域２４ｂは、第１領域２４ａよりも広い。管部材５０は、軸方向に見て、第１領域２４ａに重なる。バスバー８４ａは、軸方向に見て、第２領域２４ｂに重なる。【選択図】図２
