[0033] [First Embodiment]

[0034] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the rotary device to which the first embodiment is applied, Figure 2 is a plan view after the first housing of the rotary device to which the first embodiment is applied is removed. In addition, Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the rotary device to which the first embodiment is applied, Figure 4 is a plan view of the rotary device to which the first embodiment is applied. In addition, Figure 5A is Figure 4 a cross-sectional view of A-A line of Figure 5B is Figure 4 a cross-sectional view of B-B line of Figure 19 is a schematic explanatory view showing an air conditioning system equipped with the rotary device to which the embodiment is applied.

[0035] The rotary device 1 to which the embodiment is applied can be used, for example, for an air conditioning system 100 for a vehicle and the like as shown in Figure 19 to control the rotating action of a louver 104 for controlling the air volume and the like. The air conditioning system 100 for a vehicle is equipped with a blower 101, an evaporator 102 that cools the air sent out from the blower 101, and a heater 103 that is provided downstream of the evaporator 102. Further, between the evaporator 102 and the heater 103, the louver 104 that controls the supply amount of the air flowing from the evaporator 102 side to the heater 103 side is arranged, and a drive shaft 104a of the louver 104 is rotated by the rotary device 1.

[0036] as shown in Figure 1As shown, the rotation device 1 is provided with a frame 2 in which a functional section is housed inside. Further, the functional section here specifically consists of the motor 3, the plurality of transmission gears 6 and the output gear 5, and the sensor 7 and the like described later.

[0037] The frame 2 is configured by joining a first frame 21 having an opening section and a second frame 22 having an opening section in a state in which the opening sections thereof are butted against each other. The first frame 21 has a first side wall section 211 provided to a first surface section 210 which is a top surface section of the frame 2 and an outer peripheral section of the first surface section 210, and an opening section 214 surrounded by the first side wall section 211. The second frame 22 has a second surface section 220 which is a bottom section of the frame 2 (see Figure 5A 、 5B ), a second side wall section 222 and an opening section 226 provided to an outer peripheral section of the second surface section 220. Further, the frame 2 is formed of a resin material such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and ABS.

[0038] In the first frame 21, a plurality of engaging sections 212 are integrally formed to an outer periphery of the first side wall section 211 in a manner extending outward toward the second frame 22, and holes (hereinafter referred to as engaging holes) are provided to the engaging sections 212. On the other hand, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, in the second frame 22, a plurality of protrusions (hereinafter referred to as engaging protrusions 224) corresponding to the plurality of engaging sections 212 of the first frame 21 are integrally formed to the second side wall section 222. The engaging protrusions 224 are engaged with the engaging holes of the engaging sections 212. Figure 2 and Figure 3

[0039] That is, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are butted against each other in a manner in which the engaging protrusions 224 of the second frame 22 are engaged with the engaging holes of the engaging sections 212 of the first frame 21, and thereby the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are integrated, thereby configuring the frame 2 which houses the functional section of the various components shown in Figs. 1 and 2 (see Figure 2 and Figure 3 ). Figure 1

[0040] Further, although the engaging sections 212 are provided to the first frame 21 and the engaging protrusions 224 are provided to the second frame 22 in the present embodiment, the engaging sections 212 can be provided to the second frame 22 and the engaging protrusions 224 can be provided to the first frame 21.

[0041] Further, although this will be described in detail later, a plurality of protruding sections 91 (see Fig. 9) are provided to the first frame 21. Figure 3 ​​The second frame 22 is provided with a plurality of through holes 92 corresponding to the plurality of protrusions 91. When the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are connected together, the protrusions 91 and the through holes 92 are respectively engaged. These protrusions 91 and through holes 92 extend along the rotational axis of the transmission gear 6 or the output gear 5.

[0042] In addition, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5A as well as Figure 5B As shown, protrusions 213 and 223, corresponding to each other, are formed in the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, respectively. In this embodiment, the protrusions 213 and 223 protrude in a direction extending toward the rotation shaft of the motor 3, or the first connection terminal 74 or the second connection terminal 40 of the sensor 7 (described later). The protrusions 213 and 223 engage with each other to form a connector portion 200. Figure 1 ).

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, a recessed retaining portion 201 is formed in the connector portion 200, which is used to retain the first connection terminal 74 of the sensor 7 described later. Figure 5A Multiple second connection terminals 40 are electrically connected. (e.g.) Figure 3 As shown in the diagram, an upwardly protruding piece 40a is formed at one end of the second connection terminal 40. This piece 40a is paired with the front end of the first connection terminal 74 of the sensor 7, which will be described later. Furthermore, in Figure 3 For convenience, the diagram shows the state after one second connection terminal 40 has been removed from the plurality of holding parts 201, but a plurality of (3 to 5) second connection terminals 40 may be provided as needed.

[0044] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, for example, when the rotating device 1 is embedded into the air conditioning system, four mounting parts 23, 24, 25, and 26 for installation in a specified position are provided on the outer periphery of the first frame 21.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating device 1 includes the following components as various parts constituting the functional section housed in the frame 2: a motor 3; an output gear 5 that mechanically outputs the rotation of the rotating shaft 31 of the motor 3 to the outside; multiple transmission gears 6 that transmit the rotation of the motor 3 to the output gear 5; and a sensor 7 that detects the rotation angle of the output gear 5. The sensor 7 includes a sensor section 70 described later (see reference 1). Figure 7B The rotating device 1 can control the rotation of the motor 3 based on the rotation angle of the output gear 5 detected by the sensor unit 70 and the housing (hereinafter referred to as sensor housing 72) containing the sensor unit 70.

[0046] The plurality of transmission gears 6 have a first transmission gear 61 and a second transmission gear 62 that are configured together as a plurality of stages, and transmit the rotation of the rotation shaft 31 of the motor 3 to the output shaft 51 of the output gear 5 through a plurality of gear meshes.

[0047] In addition, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 indicated, the rotation device 1 according to the present embodiment is provided with a flexible wiring substrate 8 as a substrate that electrically connects the second connection terminal 40, the motor 3, and the sensor 7. Through the wiring substrate 8 and the second connection terminal 40, it is possible to obtain, from the outside, an input / output signal that drives the motor 3, or a signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the output gear 5 from the sensor 7. Furthermore, the so-called electrical connection here includes both when two components are directly connected and when connection is made through other components. The substrate is included in the mode of the connection components described later.

[0048] Hereinafter, each element configuring the functional section will be described more specifically.

[0049] (Motor 3)

[0050] The motor 3 is a driving device for rotating the output gear 5, and in the present embodiment, a DC motor is used for the motor 3. As shown in Figure 3 , the motor 3 is provided with a main body portion 30 that has a housing (frame) having a quadrangular prism shape with an angular portion bent, a rotation shaft 31, and a pair of terminals 33, 33. In the rotation shaft direction of the rotation shaft 31, the main body portion 30 is provided with two sides that become a top surface portion and a bottom surface portion. A portion of the rotation shaft 31 (including the end portion) is led out from one side (top surface portion) of the main body portion 30. In the rotation shaft direction of the rotation shaft 31, the pair of terminals 33, 33 are provided to the other side (bottom surface portion) of the main body portion 30. Furthermore, a portion of the rotation shaft 31 on the one side is fixed to a rotor (not shown) housed in the main body portion 30 of the motor 3, and a portion of the rotation shaft 31 on the other side protruding from the main body portion 30 has the worm 4 installed thereto.

[0051] (Transmission gear 6)

[0052] The transmission gear 6 is a gear for transmitting the rotation of the rotation shaft 31 of the motor 3 to the output gear 5 at a predetermined reduction ratio (gear ratio), and in the present embodiment, as described above, has a first transmission gear 61 and a second transmission gear 62 that are configured together as a plurality of stages. Furthermore, the worm 4 installed to the rotation shaft 31 of the motor 3 can also be included as a transmission gear.

[0053] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the transmission gear 6 is provided with a first transmission gear 61 having a first large-diameter portion 611 and a first small-diameter portion 612, and a second transmission gear 62 having a second small-diameter portion 621 and a second large-diameter portion 622. The diameter of the first large-diameter portion 611 is formed to be larger than the diameter of the first small-diameter portion 612. The same relationship also applies to the second large-diameter portion 622 and the second small-diameter portion 621.

[0054] The first large-diameter portion 611 of the first transmission gear 61 is engaged with the worm 4 mounted to the rotation shaft 31 of the motor 3. In addition, the first small-diameter portion 612 of the first transmission gear 61 is engaged with the second large-diameter portion 622 of the second transmission gear 62, and the second small-diameter portion 621 of the second transmission gear 62 is engaged with the output gear 5. In this way, by engaging a plurality of gears, the rotation of the rotation shaft 31 of the motor 3 is transmitted to the output shaft 51 of the output gear 5 at a predetermined reduction ratio.

[0055] Further, in the present embodiment, in a manner in which the gear ratio is adjusted using a small amount of space and the rotation of the rotation shaft 31 of the motor 3 is transmitted to the output gear 5, two first transmission gears 61 and second transmission gears 62 configured in multiple stages are used, but for example, it is also possible to design so as to omit the second transmission gear 62 so that the output gear 5 is engaged with the first small-diameter portion 612 of the first transmission gear 61 which has a smaller diameter, or it is also possible to design so as to omit either one of the first transmission gear 61 and the second transmission gear 62 so that the output gear 5 is directly engaged with the worm 4.

[0056] (Output gear 5)

[0057] The output gear 5 is provided with a recess 50 in the direction of the rotation shaft of the output gear 5 (the direction of extension of the output shaft 51 which becomes the rotation shaft). Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the output gear 5 is provided with a gear body 5a having an outer peripheral surface in which a tooth row 52 is formed and the recess 50. The gear body 5a has a cylindrical shape. A portion of the sensor 7 is housed in the recess 50 formed inside the gear body 5a.

[0058] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown in the direction of extension of the output shaft 51 passing through the center of the gear body 5a, the recess 50 is provided in the gear body 5a, the recess 50 is provided with a bottom portion and an inner wall surface formed in the side surface of the gear body 5a, and an opening portion surrounded by the inner wall surface. Furthermore, a portion of the sensor housing 72 which houses the sensor portion 70 is housed in the upper side in the recess 50, that is, at the position at which the recess 50 opposes the first surface portion 210 of the first housing 21.

[0059] Further, as described above, the second transmission gear 62 has, as a multi-stage gear, a second large-diameter portion 622 that transmits rotation from the motor 3 and a second small-diameter portion 621 that extends from the second large-diameter portion 622 and transmits rotation to the output gear 5, and the second large-diameter portion 622 of the second transmission gear 62 is disposed in a manner to overlap a part of the output gear 5 in the rotational axis direction of the output gear 5 (see Figure 2 ). Therefore, the sensor housing 72 is disposed between the second large-diameter portion 622 of the second transmission gear 62 and the output gear 5.

[0060] Further, here, in describing the positional relationship of up and down, a state in which the first frame 21 of the rotation device 1 is positioned on the upper side and the second frame 22 is positioned on the lower side is taken as a reference.

[0061] Further, the upper end portion (one end portion) of the output shaft 51 has a D-shaped cross-sectional shape and is formed in a shape that can be fitted with the rotation plate 71 described later. The lower half of the output gear 5 is formed to have a larger diameter than the upper half of the output gear 5, and a fitting portion 54 that engages with an external shaft such as the drive shaft 104a of the louver 104 of the air conditioning system 100 described above is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the lower half. Therefore, by rotating the output gear 5, it is possible to control the turning action of the louver 104, and thus it is possible to perform adjustment of the air volume and the like of the air conditioning system 100 (see Figure 19 ).

[0062] However, as described above, the drive shaft 104a of the louver 104 mounted on the air conditioning system 100 of a vehicle or the like is connected to the output gear 5. That is, the output gear 5 is a gear for outputting the rotational force of the rotation shaft 31 of the motor 3 as a driving force for driving the drive shaft 104a of the louver 104. However, the present embodiment is not necessarily limited to a form in which the shaft that is a rotation target like the drive shaft 104a of the louver 104 is directly connected to the output gear 5. For example, it can be a form in which a gear that is another component is interposed between the rotation device 1 and the shaft that is a rotation target, and in this case, it is preferable to connect the rotation shaft of the interposed gear to the output gear 5.

[0063] (Sensor 7)

[0064] As described above, for example, the air conditioning system 100 (see Figure 19 ) mounted on an automobile has the louver 104. In order to drive the louver 104 to a prescribed state, it is possible to perform detection of the rotation angle of the output gear 5 using the sensor 7.

[0065] In order to make the rotation device 1 thin, the sensor 7 according to the present embodiment houses the brush 75 that has a thickness in the height direction in the sensor housing 72, and although this is contrary to the thinness of the sensor 7, it achieves thinness of the rotation device 1.

[0066] The sensor 7 will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 6 is a plan view of the sensor housing 72. In addition, Figure 7A is Figure 6 a sectional view of the C-C line of Figure 7B is Figure 6 a sectional view of the D-D line of Figure 8A is an exploded perspective view as viewed from the main surface side of the sensor housing 72, Figure 8B is an exploded perspective view as viewed from the back surface side of the rotating body of the sensor housing 72 (the side opposite to the one on which the wiring board 8 described later is disposed).

[0067] The sensor 7 is provided with a sensor portion 70 having a sensor substrate 73 and a brush 75, and a sensor housing 72 that houses the sensor portion 70. The sensor 7 is used to detect the rotation angle of the output gear 5.

[0068] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 8A and Figure 8B , the sensor housing 72 has a first region A having a circular arc shape in plan view and a second region B having a square shape in plan view. The first region A is surrounded by a first side portion 72a that is curved in the circumferential direction. This first side portion 72a is formed by a wall portion 722. The second region B is surrounded by a second side portion 72b. This second side portion 72b is formed by a wall portion 722. That is, the first side portion 72a is formed integrally with the second side portion 72b. A portion of the first side portion 72a becomes a portion of the sensor housing 72 that is housed in the recessed portion 50 of the output gear 5. A portion of the first side portion 72a of the sensor housing 72 becomes a portion 722a that protrudes with respect to the second side portion 72b in the rotation axis direction of the output gear 5.

[0069] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 8A and Figure 8B , a first hole portion (hereinafter referred to as a first circular hole) 723 having a circular shape is formed at the central position of the first region A of the sensor housing 72. A boss portion 711 that is provided at the center of a rotating plate 71 that is a plate that rotates together with the output gear 5 can be inserted through this first circular hole 723. A hole portion (hereinafter referred to as an engagement hole) 712 that engages with the end portion of the output shaft 51 having a D-shaped cross-sectional shape is formed in the boss portion 711.

[0070] In addition, a plurality of (three in this case) rectangular hole portions (hereinafter referred to as rectangular holes) 721 for protruding the end portions (front end portions) of the first connection terminals 74 are formed in the second region B of the sensor housing 72.

[0071] As Figure 7B , Figure 8A and Figure 8B illustrated, the sensor portion 70 is provided with: a brush 75 that becomes a contact portion and has conductivity; and a substrate (hereinafter referred to as a sensor substrate) 73 that is provided with a conductive portion 730 (hereinafter referred to as a contact portion) that is a contacted portion that contacts the brush 75. Figure 8B The conductive portion 730 is electrically connected to the outside.

[0072] The sensor substrate 73 is formed of an epoxy resin, for example, with a thickness of about 300 μm to about 1600 μm, and is provided with a portion (hereinafter referred to as a circular portion) 73a that is formed in a circular shape and a portion (hereinafter referred to as a square portion) 73b that is formed in a square shape. The sensor substrate 73 is formed to be harder than the flexible wiring substrate 8 described later, the circular portion 73a is disposed in an area surrounded by the first side portion 72a of the sensor housing 72, and the square portion 73b is disposed in an area surrounded by the second side portion 72b of the sensor housing 72. A hole portion 735 is formed in the square portion 73b for the front end portion of the first connecting terminal 74 to pass through. The planar shape of this hole portion 735 is formed in a rectangular shape.

[0073] In addition, as Figure 8A and Figure 8B illustrated, the sensor substrate 73 is provided with: a second hole portion (hereinafter referred to as a second circular hole) 733 through which a boss portion 711 of the rotating plate 71 that fits with the output shaft 51 of the output gear 5 is inserted; and a conductive portion 730 that is formed on the outer periphery of this second circular hole 733 by a known method such as printing.

[0074] This conductive portion 730 has: an output portion 731 that is formed on the side of the second circular hole 733 and is formed of a conductive material with a small resistance; and a resistance portion 732 that is formed on the outside of the output portion 731 and is formed of a conductive material with a large resistance.

[0075] In addition, as Figure 8A illustrated, the brush 75 is provided with two contacts 751, 752 that are one end portion and another end portion 753 that is connected to the two contacts 751, 752. The end portion 753 is fixed and held to the face 713 opposite the sensor substrate 73 of the rotating plate 71 in a manner that the two contacts 751, 752 contact the sensor substrate 73.

[0076] The output portion 731 is provided with: a circular ring portion that is formed in a manner that surrounds the second circular hole 733 along the outer periphery of the second circular hole 733 and contacts one of the two contacts 751, 752 of the brush 75 that is conductive as illustrated in Figure 8A ; and a lead-out portion 734a that is led out from this circular ring portion.

[0077] Further, the resistance portion 732 has a circular arc portion formed in a circular arc shape along the outer periphery of the circular ring portion of the output portion 731 and in contact with the other contact 751 of the brush 75 shown in FIG. 7, a first lead-out portion 734b led out from one end portion of the circular arc portion, and a second lead-out portion 734c led out from the other end portion of the circular arc portion. Figure 8A Further, the resistance portion 732 has a circular arc portion formed in a circular arc shape along the outer periphery of the circular ring portion of the output portion 731 and in contact with the other contact 751 of the brush 75 shown in FIG. 7, a first lead-out portion 734b led out from one end portion of the circular arc portion, and a second lead-out portion 734c led out from the other end portion of the circular arc portion.

[0078] The conductive portion 730 configured as described above constitutes a variable resistance portion. That is, if the contact position of the brush 75 in contact with the contacts 751, 752 is changed along the circular ring portion and the circular arc portion (in the circumferential direction), the resistance value of the path from the first lead-out portion 734b to the lead-out portion 734a is changed. Therefore, in a state where a voltage is applied between the first lead-out portion 734b and the second lead-out portion 734c, if the contact position of the brush 75 is displaced along the circular ring portion and the circular arc portion (in the circumferential direction), the voltage between the first lead-out portion 734b and the lead-out portion 734a is changed, and thus the rotation angle of the output gear 5 can be detected by the change in the voltage.

[0079] The sensor portion 70 in the present embodiment has the configuration described above, and thus the brush 75 is disposed in a portion of the sensor housing 72 in the rotation axis direction of the output gear 5, and the brush 75 is disposed on one side of the output gear 5 with respect to the sensor substrate 73. That is, with respect to the recess 50 provided in the output gear 5, the rotation plate 71, the brush 75, and the sensor substrate 73 are disposed in this order from the side of the bottom portion 53 of the recess 50.

[0080] Therefore, for the rotation device 1 according to the present embodiment, the assembly of the sensor 7 becomes extremely easy. That is, for example, the sensor substrate 73 is attached to the back surface side of the sensor housing 72 in advance, and the sensor housing 72 is covered from above the prepared rotation plate 71 in a manner such that the contacts 751, 752 of the brush 75 fixed to the rotation plate 71 are in contact with the conductive portion 730 of the sensor substrate 73.

[0081] Further, the sensor portion 70 having the sensor substrate 73 and the brush 75 can be covered and protected by the sensor housing 72, and thus the operation of the sensor 7 also becomes easy.

[0082] Further, in the present embodiment, a case where the brush 75 having conductivity and the sensor substrate 73 constitute a rotation-type resistance position sensor that detects a change in the resistance value due to the displacement of the contact position of the brush 75 with respect to the conductive portion 730 in the circumferential direction is exemplified, but the configuration of the conductive portion 730 is not limited to the configuration of the present embodiment.

[0083] For example, a notch portion can also be provided at a constant interval from the outer circumferential side (or the inner circumferential side) of the arc-shaped portion, the brush 75 is not energized (hereinafter, also referred to as OFF) when the contact points 751, 752 are positioned in the notch portion, and is energized (hereinafter, also referred to as ON) when not positioned in the notch portion, and the number of times of ON-OFF is detected based on the detected number of times to detect the rotation angle of the output gear 5.

[0084] (First connection terminal 74 and second connection terminal 40)

[0085] The first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 are connection terminals that connect with an external connector that connects with the rotation device 1.

[0086] For the first connection terminal 74, one end portion that electrically connects with the sensor substrate 73 and the other end portion that electrically connects with the outside are provided, and the one end portion is connected with the lead-out portion 734a, the first lead-out portion 734b, or the second lead-out portion 734c of the sensor substrate 73.

[0087] As shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the other end portion of the first connection terminal 74 is bent to form a bent portion 74a, and as shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the tip end of the bent portion 74a extends toward a direction that separates from the bottom portion 53 of the recess portion 50 provided in the output gear 5. Figure 7A Figure 7B As shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the other end portion of the first connection terminal 74 is bent to form a bent portion 74a, and as shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the tip end of the bent portion 74a extends toward a direction that separates from the bottom portion 53 of the recess portion 50 provided in the output gear 5. Figure 5A

[0088] In addition, the second connection terminal 40 that electrically connects with the first connection terminal 74 is provided in the frame body 2. That is, as shown in Figs. 13 and 14, the second connection terminal 40 is held by the holding portion 201 of the connector portion 200 (refer to Fig. 15) formed in the frame body 2. The second connection terminal 40 has a protruding portion 40b that extends in a direction opposite to the direction in which the tab 40a protrudes. The protruding portion 40b is inserted into the holding portion 201, and the second connection terminal 40 is held by the frame body 2. In the present embodiment, the first connection terminal 74 is formed by punching a metal plate into a predetermined shape. Figure 3 Figure 1 Furthermore, the other end portion of the first connection terminal 74 is electrically connected with the tab 40a that is formed in one end portion of the second connection terminal 40. The tab 40a is provided in one end portion of the second connection terminal 40, and protrudes toward a direction that separates from the bottom portion 53 of the recess portion 50 provided in the output gear 5.

[0089] Thus, the bent portion 74a that is bent upward is formed in the first connection terminal 74, and the tab 40a is formed in the second connection terminal 40, and therefore stable connection can be made via the flexible wiring substrate 8 (refer to Figs. 15 and 16) described later.

[0090] Thus, the bent portion 74a that is bent upward is formed in the first connection terminal 74, and the tab 40a is formed in the second connection terminal 40, and therefore stable connection can be made via the flexible wiring substrate 8 (refer to Figs. 15 and 16) described later. Figure 2 Figure 3 Thus, the bent portion 74a that is bent upward is formed in the first connection terminal 74, and the tab 40a is formed in the second connection terminal 40, and therefore stable connection can be made via the flexible wiring substrate 8 (refer to Figs. 15 and 16) described later.​​​​

[0091] (wiring substrate 8)

[0092] The wiring substrate 8 is formed of a film having flexibility, as shown in Figure 3 having three flat portions 81, 82, 83 of a larger size. Specifically, the first flat portion 81 on the side of the end portion connected to the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40, the second flat portion 82 on the side of the end portion connected to the terminal 33 of the motor 3, and the third flat portion 83 connecting the first flat portion 81 and the second flat portion 82 are provided.

[0093] A hole portion engaging with the end portion of the first connection terminal 74 (hereinafter, referred to as the end portion on the side of the bent portion 74a) and a hole portion engaging with the tab 40a of the second connection terminal 40 are provided in the first flat portion 81, and the end portion on the side of the bent portion 74a of the first connection terminal 74 and the tab 40a of the second connection terminal 40 are engaged with the above hole portions and are soldered, whereby the electrical connection can be reliably performed. Thus, the contact failure can be suppressed.

[0094] For the flexible wiring substrate 8, a configuration in which, for example, an adhesive layer is formed on a film (resin substrate) having a thickness of about 12 μm to 50 μm, and a conductor having a thickness of about 12 μm to about 50 μm is printed or attached on the adhesive layer is adopted, and the film is formed of a resin material having insulating properties such as polyimide or polyester. In addition, the conductor is formed of a metal material such as copper. Further, the adhesive layer is formed of an epoxy-based resin or an acrylic-based resin. The wiring substrate 8 is a flexible substrate which can be restored to the state before being bent even if it is bent at an angle of 90 degrees or more.

[0095] Thus, the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 are connected by the flexible wiring substrate 8, and therefore, for example, even if the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 are vibrated due to the vibration of a vehicle such as an automobile, the flexible wiring substrate 8 changes in shape (or absorbs the vibration) to reduce the amplitude of the vibration before a strong stress is applied to the connection portion of the electrical connection by soldering or the like, and thus the application of a strong stress to the connection portion can be avoided, and therefore the occurrence of cracks or breakage in the connection portion can be avoided.

[0096] Thus, the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 are electrically connected using the flexible wiring substrate 8, and therefore, for example, the operation is easier and there is an advantage in terms of manufacturing cost compared to the use of a thinner and more fragile conductor wire.

[0097] In the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 a hole portion engaging with the terminal 33 is also provided in the second flat portion 82 of the wiring substrate 8 connected to the terminal 33 of the motor 3, and the terminal 33 of the motor 3 is engaged with the above hole portion and is soldered, whereby the electrical connection can be reliably performed.

[0098] (Feature configuration of frame 2)

[0099] Here, the configuration of the frame 2 of the rotary device 1 according to the present embodiment, particularly the feature configuration of the frame 2 in the present embodiment, will be described. Figure 9 is a front view of the rotary device 1 provided to a jig, Figure 10 is a plan view of the rotary device 1 provided to a jig. In addition, Figure 11A is Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of the E-E line of Figure 11B is a cross-sectional view of Figure 11A is an explanatory view of the cross-sectional view of

[0100] The frame 2 according to the present embodiment has the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 as described above. Furthermore, the motor 3 and the gear that transmits the rotation of the motor 3 to the outside are housed in the frame 2, and the gear has the worm 4, the transmission gear 6 having the first transmission gear 61 and the second transmission gear 62, and the output gear 5.

[0101] In the conventional rotary device having the same configuration as the frame 2, the rigidity of the frame 2 having the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, or the reproducibility of the disassembly and assembly of the frame 2 is not particularly considered.

[0102] Therefore, in the rotary device 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , a plurality of protrusions 91 extending in the direction of the rotation axis of the output gear 5 is provided to the first frame 21, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a plurality of (here, four) through holes 92 corresponding to the plurality of protrusions 91 are provided to the second frame 22. Furthermore, in the frame 2 configured by linking the first frame 21 and the second frame 22, the plurality of protrusions 91 and the plurality of through holes 92 are respectively fitted.

[0103] In this way, the plurality of protrusions 91 and the plurality of through holes 92 are provided and respectively fitted to each other, so that the engagement and disengagement of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be easily performed. Therefore, the analysis and maintenance of the functional parts housed in the frame 2 can also be simply performed.

[0104] However, it is preferable that at least two or more sets of the plurality of protrusions 91 and the plurality of through holes 92 corresponding to each other are provided. That is, the reason is that if the plurality of protrusions 91 and the plurality of through holes 92 corresponding to each other are two sets, the two sets can be used as a reference for correctly positioning in the X and Y directions when the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 are engaged. Here, the X and Y directions are the directions along the faces 210 and 220 of the first and second frames.

[0105] Further, the at least two protrusions 91 are members that are pressed into the through holes 92 corresponding thereto, respectively. In the present embodiment, four sets of protrusions 91 and through holes 92 are provided, and any one of the protrusions 91 can be pressed into the through holes 92.

[0106] Therefore, the rigidity of the entire frame 2 can be improved, and generation of abnormal noise can be suppressed. In addition, sound generated inside the rotating device 1 does not leak out from the through holes 92, and thus there is no concern that the quietness performance will be impaired.

[0107] Further, in the first frame 21 shown in FIG. 1, one protrusion 91 is present, but actually, four protrusions 91 are provided, which correspond to the four through holes 92 provided in the second frame 22. Figure 3 Figure 2 and Figure 3 the four through holes 92 of the second frame 22 shown in FIG. 1.

[0108] In addition, as is clear from Figure 11A and Figure 11B , in the direction in which the protrusions 91 extend, the size of the through holes 92 is larger than the size of the protrusions 91.

[0109] According to this configuration, the separation of the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be performed simply by using the jig 11. That is, as shown in Figure 9 , by using the jig 11 provided with the rod-shaped bodies 11a to 11d corresponding to the plurality of through holes 92 provided in the second frame 22, respectively, and the support table 110 that supports these rod-shaped bodies 11a to 11d, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be separated extremely simply.

[0110] The frame separation method of separating the frame 2 into the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 includes the steps of providing the above-described jig 11 and inserting the plurality of (four) rod-shaped bodies 11a to 11d into the plurality of (four) through holes 92 formed in the second frame 22, as shown in Figure 9 , and further includes the step of pressing the second frame 22 in the direction toward the support table 110 of the jig 11.

[0111] That is, according to the state shown in Figure 11A , if the second frame 22 is pressed in the direction toward the support table 110 of the jig 11, the rod-shaped bodies 11a to 11d function as guides, respectively, and thus the second frame 22 can be pressed down smoothly in the vertical direction. As a result, as shown in Figure 11B , the protrusions 91 pressed into the through holes 92 are easily disengaged, and the frame 2 is simply separated into the first frame 21 and the second frame 22.

[0112] ​The first frame 21 and the second frame 22 isolated by the method do not deform or the like, and thus, for example, after analysis, maintenance, or the like of the inside of the frame 2 is completed, the first frame 21 and the second frame 22 can be simply combined.

[0113] According to the first embodiment described above, the following rotary device 1 is implemented.

[0117] According to the rotary device 1, the electric brush 75 and the sensor substrate 73 are protected by the sensor housing 72, and a portion of the sensor housing 72 that houses the electric brush 75, which has a thickness in a height direction of the sensor 7, can be housed in the recessed portion 50 of the gear, and thus the rotary device 1 can be made thin to a greater extent.

[0125] According to the rotary device 1, the wiring substrate 8 is mounted from above with respect to the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 arranged in advance, and thus the end portions of the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 can be simply electrically connected to each other, and the assembly of the rotary device 1 can be improved.

[0126] (7) The rotary device 1 according to the above (6), wherein the wiring substrate 8 is formed of a film having flexibility.

[0129] According to the rotary device 1, it is possible to decelerate the rotation transmitted from the motor 3 at an appropriate deceleration ratio, and to achieve thinness and miniaturization of the rotary device 1.

[0130] Further, according to the first embodiment described above, a method of separating the rotary device 1 and the frame 2 in the rotary device 1 shown below is further achieved.

[0140] [Second Embodiment]

[0141] Next, a rotary device 1 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Furthermore, the rotary device 1 according to the second embodiment has the same basic configuration as the rotary device 1 according to the first embodiment described above, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description will be omitted.

[0142] Figure 12 is a perspective view of the rotary device 1 according to the second embodiment after the first frame 21 is removed, Figure 13 is an exploded perspective view of the rotary device 1 according to the second embodiment.

[0143] As shown in Figure 12 , the rotary device 1 according to the second embodiment also includes a motor 3, a transmission gear 6 and an output gear 5 that transmit the rotation of the motor 3 to the outside, a sensor 7, a first connection terminal 74 and a second connection terminal 40 that are electrically connected to the outside, and a wiring substrate 80 that electrically connects the motor 3, the sensor 7, and the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40. In addition, the wiring substrate 80 is formed of a film having flexibility.

[0144] Furthermore, the rotation angle of the output gear 5 can be detected by the sensor 7, and an IC (Integrated Circuit) 300 that is an electronic component that controls the operation of the motor 3 is mounted on the wiring substrate 80.

[0145] In this way, the second embodiment differs from the rotary device 1 according to the first embodiment in that the IC 300 that controls the operation of the motor 3 is mounted on the flexible wiring substrate 80.

[0146] That is, in the conventional rotary device (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2009-261130), the electronic component that controls the operation of the motor is mounted to the substrate. Therefore, since the position where the electronic component is disposed is limited, there is a concern that the rotary device is upsized due to the position where the electronic component is disposed.

[0147] Therefore, in the rotary device 1 according to the present embodiment, the IC (Integrated Circuit) 300 as the electronic component is mounted to the flexible wiring substrate 80 formed of a film.

[0148] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the IC 300 is mounted to a region of the wiring substrate 80 at a position between the electrically connected first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 and the motor 3. In other words, the IC 300 is mounted to a portion of the wiring substrate 80 between the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 and the motor 3. Figure 12 Figure 13 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the IC 300 is mounted to a region of the wiring substrate 80 at a position between the electrically connected first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 and the motor 3. In other words, the IC 300 is mounted to a portion of the wiring substrate 80 between the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 and the motor 3.

[0149] Specifically, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the wiring substrate 80 is configured to have three planar portions 80a, 80b, 80c of a larger size. The planar portions 80a, 80b, 80c correspond to the first planar portion 81, the second planar portion 82, and the third planar portion 83 of the wiring substrate 8 shown in the first embodiment, but here, the first planar portion 80a and the third planar portion 80c are configured to have substantially the same width. Figure 12 Figure 13 That is, the third planar portion 83 in the first embodiment functions to connect the first planar portion 81 and the second planar portion 82, but here, the third planar portion 80c is formed continuously with the first planar portion 80a in substantially the same width, and the IC 300 is mounted to a surface of the third planar portion 80c having a sufficient width.

[0150] That is, the third planar portion 83 in the first embodiment functions to connect the first planar portion 81 and the second planar portion 82, but here, the third planar portion 80c is formed continuously with the first planar portion 80a in substantially the same width, and the IC 300 is mounted to a surface of the third planar portion 80c having a sufficient width.

[0151] In this way, by using the wiring substrate 80 formed of a film, the degree of freedom of the disposition of the IC 300 is increased, and by increasing the degree of freedom, the IC 300 and the like are disposed using the unused space in the frame 2, and the idle space is effectively utilized to downsize or thin the rotary device 1.

[0152] ​​Further, the rotating device 1 according to the second embodiment has the motor 3, the transmission gear 6 and the output gear 5, the sensor 7, the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40, and the frame 2 that houses the wiring substrate 80, as described above. Moreover, the IC 300 is disposed at a position lower than the total height of the motor 3 in the frame 2 in the rotational axis direction of the output gear 5. That is, the third flat portion 80c is disposed in an inclined state along the corner portion of the housing of the motor 3, and thereby the IC 300 is disposed at a position lower than the total height of the motor 3. The corner portion of the motor 3 in which the third flat portion 80c is disposed is directed upward (the first frame 21), and is bent.

[0153] Here, the total height of the motor 3 in the rotational axis direction of the output gear 5 refers to the height of a portion of the motor 3 (for example, a portion of the side surface of the housing (frame) that is in the highest position, which is opposite to the first surface 210 that is the top surface of the first frame 21) that is in the highest position, with the second surface 220 of the frame 2, that is, the bottom of the second frame 22, that is in contact with the motor 3 as a reference (see FIG. 6). Figure 1 and Figure 3 ).

[0154] Further, the IC 300 is in contact with the motor 3 via the wiring substrate 80. Moreover, in the present embodiment, the third flat portion 80c that is a portion of the wiring substrate 80 is fixed to the housing of the motor 3. Here, the third flat portion 80c of the wiring substrate 80 is fixed to the housing of the motor 3 using a double-sided tape or the like.

[0155] In the past, in order to prevent damage to electronic components due to vibrations from the outside, for example, electronic components were mounted to a wiring substrate made of a relatively hard glass epoxy resin, and it was necessary to ensure that the area in which the wiring substrate made of the glass epoxy resin was fixed was in the frame, and thereby the wiring substrate was stably fixed to the frame.

[0156] However, as a result, the rotating device became large, and therefore in the rotating device 1 according to the present embodiment, the wiring substrate 80 is formed of a flexible film, and thereby the wiring substrate 80 can be simply fixed to the housing of the motor 3 using a double-sided tape or the like.

[0157] As such, the rotating device 1 according to the present embodiment has a high degree of freedom in the disposition of electronic components such as the IC 300 that controls the operation of the motor 3, and thereby it is possible to achieve a reduction in the space in the frame 2 and miniaturization or thinning.

[0158] According to the second embodiment described above, the rotating device 1 shown below is achieved.

[0159] (14) A rotary device 1 includes: a motor 3; gears (a transmission gear 6, an output gear 5) that transmit rotation of the motor 3 to the outside; a sensor 7; connection terminals (a first connection terminal 74 and a second connection terminal 40) that are electrically connected to the outside; a wiring substrate 80 that electrically connects the motor 3, the sensor 7, and the connection terminals (the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40), and that enables detection of a rotation angle of the output gear 5 by the sensor 7, and an IC 300 that is an electronic component that controls operation of the motor 3, and is mounted on the wiring substrate 80, and the wiring substrate 80 is formed of a film that has flexibility.

[0160] According to the rotary device 1, the degree of freedom of arrangement of the electronic component such as the IC 300 is high, and thus it is possible to achieve both a reduction in the space in the frame 2 and miniaturization or thinning.

[0161] (15) The rotary device 1 according to the above (14), wherein the IC 300 that is an electronic component is mounted on a region of the wiring substrate 80 that is positioned between the connection terminals (the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40) and the motor 3.

[0162] According to the rotary device 1, it is possible to arrange the IC 300 in a suitable space in the frame 2, and it is possible to more reliably thin or miniaturize the frame 2.

[0163] (16) The rotary device 1 according to the above (14) or (15), wherein the rotary device 1 includes the motor 3; the gears (the transmission gear 6, the output gear 5); the sensor 7; the connection terminals (the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40); and the frame 2 that houses the wiring substrate 80, and in the direction of the rotation axis of the output gear 5, the IC 300 is arranged in the frame 2 at a position that is lower than the total height of the motor 3.

[0164] According to the rotary device 1, it is possible to more reliably achieve thinning or miniaturization of the frame 2.

[0165] (17) The rotary device 1 according to any one of the above (14) to (16), wherein the electronic component such as the IC 300 is in contact with the motor 3 via the wiring substrate 80.

[0167] (18) The rotary device 1 according to any one of the above (14) to (17), wherein a portion of the wiring substrate 80 is fixed to the housing of the motor 3.

[0168] According to the rotary device 1, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom of arrangement of the electronic component such as the IC 300, and to simply fix it in the frame 2.

[0169] [Third Embodiment]

[0170] Next, the rotary device 1 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Further, the rotary device 1 according to the third embodiment has the same basic configuration as the rotary device 1 according to the first and second embodiments described above, and the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description will be omitted.

[0171] Figure 14 is a plan view of the first housing 21 of the rotary device 1 according to the third embodiment. In addition, Figure 15 is an exploded perspective view of the rotary device 1 according to the third embodiment.

[0172] As shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the rotary device 1 according to the third embodiment also has the housing 2; the motor 3; the transmission gear 6, the output gear 5 that transmits the rotation of the motor 3 to the outside; the sensor 7; and the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 that are electrically connected to the outside, and further has the wiring substrate 800 that electrically connects the motor 3, the sensor 7, and the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40. Further, the rotation angle of the output gear 5 can be detected by the sensor 7.

[0173] In addition, as with the rotary device 1 according to the second embodiment, the IC 300 as an electronic component is mounted to the flexible wiring substrate 800 formed of a film, but differs in that the IC 300 is held by the housing 2. That is, for the rotary device 1 according to the third embodiment, the IC 300 is mounted to the wiring substrate 800, and further the IC 300 is held by the housing 2.

[0174] That is, in the conventional rotary device (for example, Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2009-261130), and the like described above, there is concern, for example, that the IC 300 as an electronic component is damaged or the solder connected to the IC 300 is peeled off due to vibration or the like from the outside.

[0175] Therefore, in the rotary device 1 according to the present embodiment, the IC 300 as an electronic component mounted to the flexible wiring substrate 800 formed of a film is further held by the housing 2.

[0176] Specifically, as shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 , the second housing 22 that constitutes the housing 2 is formed with a space (hereinafter referred to as a holding space) 225 for holding the IC 300, and a plurality of holding portions 230 for holding the IC 300 as an electronic component are provided in the holding space 225.

[0177] Thus, since the IC 300 mounted on the wiring substrate 800 is held by the frame 2, damage to the IC 300 can be suppressed. Also, even if vibration is applied, the vibration is absorbed by the flexible wiring substrate 800, so peeling of solder or the like connecting the wiring to the IC 300 can be suppressed. Thus, the electrical connection of the IC 300 to the wiring substrate 800 can be maintained.

[0178] As the plurality of holding portions 230, as illustrated in FIG. 6, a protruding portion 227 protruding from the inner wall surface of the frame 2 (second frame 22) is included. It is preferable that the front end portion of the protruding portion 227 be provided in a manner that does not damage the surface of the IC 300, such as a shape having a curvature, or a soft material. Also, if the IC 300 can be held in cooperation with other members, the inner wall surface of the frame 2 itself is included in the holding portion 230. Figure 14

[0179] Also, one or more of the plurality of holding portions 230 is a portion of the frame 2 (second frame 22), and the IC 300 is held elastically to the frame 2 by the one or more holding portions.

[0180] Also, as one of the holding portions 230, in the present embodiment, a pair of members (hereinafter referred to as holding members) 810, 810 capable of holding the IC 300 from both sides are provided. The holding members 810 are formed of elastic members that are more elastic than members forming other holding portions 230 such as the inner wall surface of the frame 2 or the protruding portion 227 described above. Here, the holding members 810, 810 are formed by leaf springs.

[0181] In order to position the IC 300 in the holding space 225, the wiring substrate 800 in the present embodiment is provided with a member mounting surface 830 at a portion of the third planar portion 80c of the wiring substrate 80 used in the second embodiment. The member mounting surface 830 extends outward from the third planar portion 80c to the side of the wiring substrate 800, and is bent in a manner that enters the holding space 225 for the IC 300 using the characteristic of flexibility.

[0182] Thus, in the rotary device 1 according to the present embodiment, the IC 300 as an electronic component is held by a plurality of holding portions, that is, the protruding portion 227 formed in the inner wall surface of the frame 2 and the holding members 810.

[0183] Thus, damage to the IC 300 can be suppressed, or the electrical connection of the IC 300 to the wiring substrate 800 can be maintained.

[0184] According to the third embodiment described above, the rotary device 1 shown below is implemented.

[0185] ​(19) The rotating device 1 includes a frame 2, a motor 3, gears (a transmission gear 6, an output gear 5) that transmit the rotation of the motor 3 to the outside, a sensor 7, connection terminals (a first connection terminal 74 and a second connection terminal 40) that are electrically connected to the outside, and a wiring substrate 800 that electrically connects the motor 3, the sensor 7, and the connection terminals (the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40), and the rotation angle of the output gear 5 can be detected by the sensor 7, and an IC 300 that is an electronic component that controls the operation of the motor 3 is mounted on the wiring substrate 800, and the IC 300 is held to the frame 2.

[0186] According to the rotating device 1, the damage to the IC 300 can be suppressed, or the electrical connection of the IC 300 to the wiring substrate 800 can be maintained.

[0187] (20) The rotating device 1 of the above (19) is further provided with the wiring substrate 800 formed of a flexible film.

[0188] According to the rotating device 1, the degree of freedom in the arrangement of the IC 300 is improved, and thus the damage to the IC 300 can be suppressed, and the electrical connection of the IC 300 to the wiring substrate 800 can be maintained.

[0189] (21) The rotating device 1 of the above (19) or (20) is further provided with the IC 300 that is an electronic component electrically connected to the connection terminals (the first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40) via the wiring substrate 800.

[0190] According to the rotating device 1, the vibration and the like from the outside can be absorbed by the wiring substrate 800, and thus the peeling of the solder that electrically connects the IC 300 and the wiring can also be prevented.

[0191] (22) The rotating device 1 of any one of the above (19) to (21) is further provided with the frame 2 including a plurality of holding portions 230 that hold the IC 300.

[0192] According to the rotating device 1, the IC 300 can be more reliably held.

[0193] (23) The rotating device 1 of the above (22) is further provided with the plurality of holding portions 230 including an inner wall surface of the frame 2 or a protruding portion 227 protruding from the inner wall surface.

[0194] According to the rotating device 1, the IC 300 can be more reliably held.

[0195] (24) The rotating device 1 of the above (22) or (23) is further provided with one of the plurality of holding portions 230 formed of an elastic member (a clamping member 810) that is more elastic than the member that forms the other holding portions 230.

[0196] According to the rotary device 1 described above, it is possible to further reduce the transmission of vibration to the IC 300.

[0197] (25) The rotary device 1 according to any one of (22) or (23) above, wherein one or more of the plurality of holding portions 230 is part of the frame 2 (second frame 22), and the IC 300 is elastically held to the frame 2 (second frame 22) by the one or more holding portions 230.

[0198] (26) The rotary device 1 according to any one of (22) to (25) above, wherein the IC 300 is held by the plurality of holding portions 230.

[0199] According to this rotary device 1, it is possible to more reliably protect the IC 300.

[0200] However, in the above-described first to third embodiments, as the connection terminal, two terminals of the linear first connection terminal 74 and the second connection terminal 40 in the shape shown above are used. Figure 3

[0201] That is, the first connection terminal 74 has one end portion connected to the sensor 7 and the other end portion electrically connected to the outside, and the second connection terminal 40 is electrically connected to the first connection terminal 74 directly or via other components.

[0202] Thus, since it is configured to have the linear first connection terminal 74 whose other end portion is connected to the outside, and the second connection terminal 40 connected to the first connection terminal 74 via, for example, a wiring substrate 8, 80, 800, or the like, the design freedom of the frame 2 in the rotary device 1 is improved, and miniaturization of the frame 2 can be achieved.

[0203] On the other hand, in the above-described first to third embodiments, the second connection terminal 40 is used as a terminal in the shape shown above, that is, for example, a terminal in which a metal plate is punched into a predetermined shape. Figure 3

[0204] However, the second connection terminal is not limited to the above-described configuration, and the following configuration shown below can be used.

[0205] [Modified Example]

[0206] Figure 16 is a diagram showing the connector portion 200 of the rotary device 1 according to the modified example. Figure 17 is a perspective view of the second connection terminal provided to the connector portion 200 of the rotary device 1 according to the modified example. In addition, Figure 18 is a diagram showing the positional relationship of the above-described second connection terminal and the sensor housing 72 in cross section.​​

[0207] As Figure 16 and Figure 17 illustrated, the second connecting terminal 400 involved in the modification example is formed of a rod-shaped member having a cross-sectional shape of a quadrangle, has a bent portion 420 formed at one end portion side, and has an extension portion (a portion of the second connecting terminal 400) 410 extending linearly from the bent portion 420 toward the other end portion. The other end portion (hereinafter, referred to as a front end portion of the extension portion 410) 401 of the second connecting terminal 400 and the one end portion (hereinafter, referred to as a front end portion of the bent portion 420 side) 402 of the second connecting terminal 400 are each formed in a substantially quadrangular pyramid shape in which the front end is slightly tapered. In the second connecting terminal 400, the extension portion 410 is positioned at a position intermediate between the one end portion 402 and the other end portion 401, and the extension portion is also an intermediate portion.

[0208] Further, as Figure 16 illustrated, the bent portion 420 extends toward a direction away from the bottom surface of the frame 2, i.e., the second frame 22. On the other hand, as Figure 7A and Figure 7B illustrated, a bent portion 74a is formed at the other end portion side of the first connecting terminal 74, and a front end portion of the bent portion 74a side extends toward a direction away from the second surface portion 220 which becomes the bottom surface of the second frame 22. That is, the front end portion 402 of the bent portion 420 side in the second connecting terminal 400 and the front end portion of the first connecting terminal 74 extend in the same direction.

[0209] Therefore, by connecting the end portion of the bent portion 74a side of the first connecting terminal 74 and the end portion of the bent portion 420 side of the second connecting terminal 400 using the flexible wiring substrate 8, 80, 800 formed of a film having flexibility, the first connecting terminal 74 and the second connecting terminal 400 can be easily connected. Further, as explained in the above embodiment, by using the wiring substrate 8, 80, 800, the motor 3 and the second connecting terminal 400 can also be electrically connected.

[0210] However, as Figure 18 illustrated, the bent portion 420 of the second connecting terminal 400 is brought close to the sensor housing 72 to the extent having a prescribed gap d. The gap d is extremely small in the present embodiment. Further, in a direction from the first connecting terminal 74 toward the second connecting terminal 400, the bent portion 420, the other end portion of the first connecting terminal 74, and the sensor housing 72 are arrangedly disposed and abut.

[0211] Because this configuration can be implemented, it is possible to contribute to the downsizing of the frame body 2, and further to the downsizing of the rotation device 1, without lowering the design freedom including the size of the frame body 2 and the like, as in the conventional rotation device in which, for example, the length of the connection terminal extending from the sensor is set to a prescribed length in advance (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-5512).

[0212] In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, a flange portion 430 is provided in the vicinity of the bent portion 420 in the extension portion 410 of the second connection terminal 400. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, a prescribed number (here, five) of recess portions 202 for arranging the flange portion 430 of the second connection terminal 400 in the housed state are provided in the holding portion 201 provided to the connector portion 200 formed in the frame body 2. Further, the second connection terminal 400 is held in the state in which the flange portion 430 is inserted into the above-described recess portion 202. Therefore, the second connection terminal 400 is firmly held to the frame body 2. Figure 17 Figure 16 In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, a flange portion 430 is provided in the vicinity of the bent portion 420 in the extension portion 410 of the second connection terminal 400. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, a prescribed number (here, five) of recess portions 202 for arranging the flange portion 430 of the second connection terminal 400 in the housed state are provided in the holding portion 201 provided to the connector portion 200 formed in the frame body 2. Further, the second connection terminal 400 is held in the state in which the flange portion 430 is inserted into the above-described recess portion 202. Therefore, the second connection terminal 400 is firmly held to the frame body 2.
