[0010] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a first embodiment of the coil unit 100 is shown. The coil unit 100 in this embodiment includes a control box 1, a stator member 2, and an electronic control board 3. The control box 1 includes a first chamber 13. The electronic control board 3 is located in the first chamber 13. The stator member 2 includes a first pin 21 connected to the electronic control board 3. And the first pin 21 in this embodiment is fixed to the electronic control board 3 by welding. In other embodiments, it may be fixed by crimping in a manner such as a fish-eye pin. One end of some of the first pins 21 is connected to the winding inside the stator member 2, and the other end is connected to the electronic control board 3. The number of the first pins 21 may be set according to needs. And the control box 1 includes a first housing part 11 and a second housing part 12 that are fixedly connected. The coil unit 100 in this embodiment includes an injection molding part 4 that covers at least a part of the stator member 2. The injection molding part 4 and the first housing part 11 in this embodiment are integrally injection molded. Of course, in other embodiments, the injection molding part 4 and the first housing part 11 may be separately molded and then fixed by means such as welding, locking, and bolt connection. In addition, the second housing part 12 includes a first connection member 121 and an insertion port part 122. The insertion port part 122 is provided with a second chamber 1221. The first connection member 121 includes a first end part 1211 and a second end part 1212. A part of the first end part 1211 is located in the first chamber 13, and a part of the second end part 1212 is located in the second chamber 1221. The first end part 1211 is connected to be crimped to the electronic control board 3. The first end part 1211 of the first connection member 121 can be electrically connected and / or signal-connected to the electronic control board 3, and the second end part 1212 of the first connection member 121 can be electrically connected or signal-connected to an external device. By arranging in this way, the first end part 1211 is connected to be crimped to the electronic control board 3, simplifying the connection between the first connection member 121 and the electronic control board 3. Furthermore, the connection between the first housing part 11 and the second housing part 12 is simplified. Also, when it is necessary to replace the number of the first connection members 121, there is no need to redesign the first housing part 11 or the combined body of the first housing part 11 and the stator member 2. It is only necessary to change the second housing part 12 and the electronic control board 3 within a small range. For example, by adjusting the number of the first connection members 121, that is, there is no need to re-develop and design the entire coil unit, and the development cost of the coil unit 100 can be reduced.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the electronic control board 3 is located above the stator member 2. The direction parallel to the electronic control board 3 is defined as the lateral direction. The directions in the present invention only indicate relative positions.

[0012] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the first housing part 11 and the second housing part 12 are fixed by welding. The welding methods include laser welding, ultrasonic welding, etc. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first housing part 11 and the second housing part 12 are fixed by laser welding and sealed by welding.

During installation, first, the injection molding unit 8 is assembled to the electronic control board 3, and then the second housing portion 12 is assembled to the first housing portion 11. When assembling the second housing portion 12, the first end portion 1211 of the first connection member 121 passes through the through hole 1222 of the insertion port portion 122, and the first end portion 1211 is connected to be crimped to the electronic control board 3. The first connection member 121 can be electrically connected and / or signal-connected to the electronic control board 3. For other structures, reference may be made to the above or below other embodiments. As shown in FIG. 20, in another embodiment where the first connection member 121 is injection-molded in a row in advance, the first connection member 121 is injection-molded in a row in advance to form an injection molding unit 8. The injection molding unit 8 includes the first connection member 121 and an injection molding connection portion. In the insertion port portion 122, through holes 1222 for the injection molding unit 8 to pass through are reserved.
