Abstract

A shield structure of a conductor cable includes a first case that accommodates a rotating electrical machine, a first terminal block that is provided on the first case, a second case that accommodates an inverter, a second terminal block that is provided on the second case, a conductor cable that electrically connects the first terminal block and the second terminal block to each other, and a metal shell that is arranged across the first case and the second case and covers at least part of a periphery of the conductor cable.

Claims

1. A shield structure of a conductor cable, comprising:

a first case that accommodates a rotating electrical machine;

a first terminal block that is provided on the first case;

a second case that accommodates an inverter;

a second terminal block that is provided on the second case;

a conductor cable that electrically connects the first terminal block and the second terminal block to each other; and

a metal shell that is arranged across the first case and the second case and covers at least part of a periphery of the conductor cable.

2. The shield structure according to claim 1, wherein at least two metal shells are arranged across the first case and the second case in such a manner as to surround the periphery of the conductor cable.

3. The shield structure according to claim 1, wherein the metal shell is arranged in such a manner as to cover at least one of the first terminal block and the second terminal block.

4. The shield structure according to claim 1, wherein the first terminal block and the second terminal block have support portions that support the metal shell.

5. An electrically driven vehicle comprising:

a first case that accommodates a rotating electrical machine;

a second case that accommodates an inverter;

a first terminal block that is provided on the first case;

a second terminal block that is provided on the second case;

a conductor cable that electrically connects the first terminal block and the second terminal block to each other; and

a metal shell that is arranged across the first case and the second case and covers at least part of a periphery of the conductor cable.
