  • Patent number: 11303189
    Abstract: A worm wheel is installed inside a wheel accommodation chamber of a body casing; a motor is fastened by screws from the right side perpendicular to the axis line of the worm wheel, thus forming a motor fastening part; and a worm fixed to an output shaft of the motor is engaged with the worm wheel. A board accommodation chamber is formed so as to be adjacent to the right of the wheel accommodation chamber, and a control board is inserted inside the board accommodation chamber from below. The control board is disposed so as to be inclined in a direction in which the upper end of the control board is displaced toward the wheel accommodation chamber from an erect attitude perpendicular to the axis line of the output shaft of the motor, and thus the upper end is separated from the motor fastening part in the direction of the axis line of the output shaft.

  • Patent number: 10415705
    Abstract: A seal structure seals between a cover which closes an opening of a case for housing a part and the case by a sealing member. The cover is provided with an annular recessed portion attached to an end of a peripheral wall forming the opening of the case and a plurality of through-holes penetrating a bottom portion of the recessed portion and spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction. The sealing member is formed integrally with the cover. The sealing member is integrally provided with a protrusion protruding from a bottom portion over an entire circumference in the recessed portion and an anchor portion engaged with each of the through-holes to fix the sealing member to the cover. Between at least the anchor portions in the recessed portion, a projecting portion for closing the gap between the protrusion and an inner wall of the recessed portion is provided.

  • Patent number: 6225265
    Abstract: In a miniature electric motor with reduction worm gear unit, a reduction worm gear unit is mounted on a motor portion and an output of the motor portion is subjected to a speed reduction through the unit. In lubricant for lubricating worm gears of the unit, fine silica grain is added and mixed to base oil, and a content of the fine silica grain is in a range of about 3 to about 10 wt. %. It is possible to always maintain reverse rotation proof while always keeping a desired gear transmission efficiency in a wide environmental temperature range. As a result, it is possible to miniaturize a motor and also to increase a life cycle number to prolong service life of the motor. The motor may be applied to an electric window device of an automotive vehicle.
