Abstract:
Detecting a rotation state of a worm wheel side with good accuracy while allowing play between an armature-shaft-side coupling member and a worm-shaft-side coupling member. The armature-shaft-side coupling member is provided together rotatably to the other end of an armature shaft; the worm-shaft-side coupling member is provided together rotatably to one end of a worm shaft; the armature-shaft-side coupling member and the worm-shaft-side coupling member are coupled together rotatably; and a sensor magnet is provided together rotatably to the worm-shaft-side coupling member. Therefore, the rotation state of the worm shaft can be detected with good accuracy. Even if the play is provided between the armature-shaft-side coupling member and the worm-shaft-side coupling member, this play does not affect the accuracy of detection of the rotation state of the worm shaft, thereby bringing no problem regarding accuracy of detection of a rotation state of a worm wheel side.

General versatility of a brush holder is enhanced regarding a difference of specifications of connector parts, and costs of an electric motor with brush are reduced. A pair of brush-side connection terminals electrically connected to brushes is provided to a brush holder mounted inside a motor yoke. A connector part and a pinching part are provided in a connector unit formed separately from the brush holder, power connection terminals are provided in the connector part, and connector-side connection terminals electrically connected to the power connection terminals are provided inside the pinching part. The pinching part is disposed so as to overlap with the brush holder axially, thereby electrically connecting the brush-side connection terminals and the connector-side connection terminals, and the brushes are electrically connected respectively to the power connection terminals, and the pinching part is sandwiched and fixed between the motor yoke and a gear case.
Abstract:
A worm wheel housing portion 19 of a gear case 16 has a bottomed cylindrical shape having a bottom wall portion 19a and a cylindrical wall portion 19b, and a bottom cover 35 is assembled at an opening portion of the worm wheel housing portion 19 so as to seal the opening portion. Among a plurality of latching structures for assembling them, as a latching structure other than those on a worm housing portion 17 side, a groove 44 is formed to a latching claw 38b extending along the cylindrical wall portion 19b from an outer circumferential portion of the bottom cover 35, and a projecting piece 47 engaged with the groove 44 is provided on an outer wall surface of the cylindrical wall portion 19. Wall portions 53 and 54 covering side surfaces a and tip face of the latching claw 38b are provided on the outer wall surface of the cylindrical wall portion 19b, so that breakage of the latching claw 38b or release of the engagement of the latching claw 38 to be caused, for example, when an object hits the latching claw 38b can be prevented.
Abstract:
Connector side terminals 43b and 44b protruding from a connector portion 36, and front-side and back-side power supply terminals protruding from the holder main body 34 are provided to first and second lead plates 43 and 44 formed by metal plates with a conductive property, and they are embedded into a brush holder 31 formed integrally with the connector portion 36 and a holder main body 34 via a coupling portion 35. The connector side terminals 43b and 44b are disposed so as to match their width directions with an axial direction of a commutator 23 and to be mutually aligned in the width directions, and the main body portions 43a and 44a are twisted perpendicularly to the connector side terminals 43b and 44b with reference to their axes at a base end of the connector portion 36, and are disposed in the coupling portion 35 so as to match their thickness directions with the axial direction of the commutator 23 and to be mutually aligned in the width directions.
Abstract:
Assembly work of an electric motor in which a power supply device and a rotation detector both equipped in a motor case are connected to a control device via a connector unit can be made easy. A power window motor includes an armature provided with an armature shaft and a motor yoke rotatably accommodating the armature. A gear case is fixed to the motor yoke, and a power supply unit that supplies a driving current to the armature is equipped to the gear case in the axial direction of the armature shaft. A sensor unit that detects rotation of the armature shaft is attached to the power supply unit in the axial direction of the armature shaft. A connector unit for connecting the power supply unit and the sensor unit to the control device is integrally formed with the power supply unit. The power supply unit is attached with the sensor unit in advance and then equipped to the gear case.

Abstract:
A seal member is attached to a cover which occludes a gear case as a housing unit. The seal member is formed of elastomer and integrally formed with: a plate-shaped portion formed into a disc shape which covers the inner surface of the cover; an inner seal portion which is positioned on the inner peripheral edge of a through-hole, and comes into sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of an output member; an outer seal portion which is positioned on the periphery of the cover, and comes into contact with the opening end of the housing unit; and anchor portions which latch onto the front surface of the cover via mounting holes provided to the cover. The boundary between the seal member and the cover extends only to the outside of the gear case, and does not extend to the inside of the gear case.
