Original Abstract Submitted

The cooling structure of the in-wheel motor is a cooling structure of an in-wheel motor provided in a wheel of a tire-wheel assembly. The cooling structure of the in-wheel motor includes a rotary electric machine configured to rotate a hub to which a wheel is fixed, a knuckle rotatably supporting the hub, and a plurality of flow paths through which a coolant for cooling the rotary electric machine flows, and a pump configured to circulate the coolant between the rotary electric machine and the knuckle via a plurality of flow paths provided inside the knuckle.
