  • Patent number: 11539262
    Abstract: A connection structure of an electric component, a motor and a connection method of an electric component are provided. The connection structure of the electric component includes: an electric component main body having a connection terminal; a connector for wiring which is connected with the connection terminal; a base member; and a cover member. The base member is provided with an accommodation recessed part which accommodates inside a connected portion between the connection terminal and the connector. The accommodation recessed part has an opening part opened to an upper side. The cover member is attached to the base member so as to cover the opening part. An inside of the accommodation recessed part is filled with a sealing material which seals the connected portion between the connection terminal and the connector, and the sealing material fixes the connected portion, the base member and the cover member to each other.

  • Publication number: 20190305657
    Abstract: A motor may include a motor case, a terminal block holding terminal pins, a cover and a sealing resin body. The terminal pin may include a first end part for connecting with a coil wire and a second end part for connecting with an outside. A cover is disposed so as to cover the first end part and closes an opening part of the motor case together with the terminal block. A sealing resin body is provided so as to cover the terminal block, the cover and a side face of the motor case. A seal member is attached to each of the terminal pins protruded from the terminal block on the second end part side between the terminal block and a wall face from which the second end part is protruded, and the seal member seals between the terminal pins and the sealing resin body.

  • Patent number: 9897905
    Abstract: A head-up display includes a case main body formed with an opening part, a combiner capable of closing the opening part, a combiner drive unit including a drive device and a spring, and a projection unit. The combiner, the combiner drive unit and the projection unit are accommodated inside the case main body. The combiner drive unit is integrally provided with a second turnable shaft and a bearing turnably supporting the second turnable shaft is provided in a base part fixed to the case main body so as to be turnable with respect to the base part. A first spring for urging the bearing with respect to the base part in one direction is provided between the base part and the bearing. A second spring for urging the combiner drive unit with respect to the bearing in an opposite direction is provided between the bearing and the combiner drive unit.
