Abstract

A motor may include a rotating section; and a stationary section. The rotating section may include a shaft, a rotor core fixed to the shaft, a coil wound around the rotor core, and a sensor magnet fixed to the shaft. The stationary section may include a brush holding device, a housing, a magnet fixed inside the housing, a bearing, a first circuit board, and a second circuit board. The housing may include a cylindrical portion, a lid portion, and a bottom portion. The brush holding device may include a brush holder, a plug, a first plug contact element and a second plug contact element, the first circuit board, a choke coil, and a brush. The first circuit board may include electric-magnetic interference suppression components. The second circuit board may include a magnetic pole facing the sensor magnet.

Claims (40)

1. A motor comprising:

a rotating section; and a stationary section,

wherein the rotating section comprises a shaft, a rotor core fixed to the shaft, a coil wound around the rotor core, and a sensor magnet fixed to the shaft,

wherein the stationary section comprises a brush holding device, a housing covering a portion of the brush holding device, a magnet fixed inside the housing, a bearing that is retained in the housing and supports the shaft, a first circuit board having a plate shape and extending in an axial direction, and a second circuit board having a plate shape and extending in the axial direction,

wherein the housing comprises a cylindrical portion, a lid portion, and a bottom portion, wherein the brush holding device comprises a brush holder, a plug extending radially outward from the brush holder, a first plug contact element and a second plug contact element extending from the plug to the brush holder, the first circuit board, a choke coil, and a brush,
