Claims (20)

1 . A reduction gear, comprising:

a housing;

a worm located in the housing and rotates by power of a motor;

a worm wheel moved in cooperation with the worm; and

a drive gear moved in cooperation with the worm wheel, wherein

the drive gear overlaps the worm, and

the housing includes a partition wall located between the worm and the drive gear.

2 . The reduction gear according to claim 1 , wherein

the worm wheel includes a first shaft having a first rotation axis, a first gear arranged on the first shaft and meshed with the worm, and a second gear arranged on the first shaft,

the drive gear includes a second shaft having a second rotation axis and a third gear arranged on the second shaft and meshed with the second gear, and

the housing includes the partition wall and a side wall that is located between the second shaft and the worm and extends along the worm from a bearing receiving the second shaft.

the opposing surface of the partition wall forms part of the bottom surface of the housing, and

the bottom surface is located at a position closer to the third gear than a surface of the first gear that opposes the third gear in a direction of the second rotation axis.

4 . The reduction gear according to claim 2 , wherein the worm is located between the first gear and the second shaft.

5 . The reduction gear according to claim 4 , wherein

a straight line that orthogonally intersects with the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis defines a first straight line, p 1 a straight line that extends along a rotation axis of the worm defines a second straight line, and
