  • Patent number: 11035442
    Abstract: A door moving apparatus includes a motor unit, a first gear, a second gear, an endless belt, a drum, and a rotator. The first gear is mounted on a rotary shaft of the motor unit. The second gear includes a diameter larger than a diameter of the first gear and teeth more than the first gear. The endless belt passes over the first gear and the second gear. A rotary power of the second gear is transmitted to the drum via a rotary power transmission mechanism. The rotator is configured to reduce a separation of the endless belt from a preset running path.

  • Publication number: 20180115200
    Abstract: A brushless motor includes: a magnet rotor rotatable integrally with a rotary shaft; and a stator disposed to face the magnet rotor with a gap therebetween in a diameter direction of the magnet rotor, The stator includes first teeth each having a first counter surface facing the magnet rotor with a first air gap therebetween, second teeth provided between the first teeth adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction of the stator and each having a second counter surface facing the magnet rotor through a second air gap, and drive coils formed by concentrically winding a conductive wire around only the first teeth.

  • Patent number: 9422989
    Abstract: An electromagnetic clutch device includes an armature, a rotor, an electromagnet, and a silencing member. The armature is supported by a driving member so that the armature is movable in the axial direction and rotate integrally with the driving member. The rotor is arranged coaxially with the armature, rotate with respect to the armature and rotate integrally with an output member. The electromagnet presses the armature and the rotor against each other based on an electromagnetic attraction force generated when current is supplied through the electromagnet to be coupled with each other in the torque transmittable manner. The silencing member is provided on an outer circumferential portion of the armature to attenuate noise generated by the vibration of the armature in a state where the silencing member is out of contact with any member other than the armature.

  • Publication number: 20160168898
    Abstract: A door opening and closing apparatus for a vehicle includes a drive member adapted to open and close a vehicle door opening and closing a door opening formed at a vehicle body. The drive member includes a flat motor including a rotating shaft, an output shaft including an axis line that is parallel with an axis line of the rotating shaft, a first gear and a second gear which are respectively connected to the rotating shaft and the output shaft to be integrally rotatable, the first gear and the second gear meshing with each other to decelerate rotation of the rotating shaft and then transmit the rotation to the output shaft, and an output member fixedly attached to the output shaft to rotate integrally with the output shaft and being adapted to be connected to the vehicle door.
