Abstract

An opening/closing body driving device for driving an opening/closing body is provided. The opening/closing body driving device includes: a motor, having a rotation shaft; a screw shaft, being rotated by the rotation shaft; a moving nut, being screwed to the screw shaft and moved in an axial direction of the screw shaft; and a connection part, being provided at the moving nut, wherein an arm for opening and closing the opening/closing body is connected to the connection part. The rotation shaft and the screw shaft are respectively provided on the same axis, and the connection part is provided at a radially outer side of the screw shaft.

Claims (31)

1. An opening/closing body driving device for driving an opening/closing body, and the opening/closing body driving device comprising:

a motor, having a rotation shaft;

a screw shaft, being rotated by the rotation shaft;

a moving nut, being screwed to the screw shaft and moved in an axial direction of the screw shaft;

a bracket member, being provided at the moving nut; and

a connection part, being provided at the moving nut through the bracket member, wherein an arm for opening and closing the opening/closing body is connected to the connection part,

wherein the rotation shaft and the screw shaft are respectively provided on the same axis, and

the connection part is provided at a radially outer side of the screw shaft.

2. The opening/closing body driving device according to claim 1 , wherein

a planetary gear speed reducer that reduces a rotation of the rotation shaft is provided between the rotation shaft and the screw shaft.

3. The opening/closing body driving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the opening/closing body is a trunk lid provided at rear of a vehicle, and

the rotation shaft is provided at a rear side of the vehicle with respect to the screw shaft.

4. The opening/closing body driving device according to claim 3 , wherein

when the trunk lid is closed, the moving nut is arranged at a first position close to the rotation shaft in the axial direction of the screw shaft,

when the trunk lid is opened, the moving nut is arranged at a second position distant from the rotation shaft with respect to the first position in the axial direction of the screw shaft.

5. The opening/closing body driving device according to claim 4 , wherein

the rotation shaft is rotatably accommodated in a motor case, and

an elastic member is provided between the motor case and the moving nut to urge the moving nut in a direction away from the motor case.

6. The opening/closing body driving device according to claim 2 , wherein

the opening/closing body is a trunk lid provided at rear of a vehicle, and

the rotation shaft is provided at a rear side of the vehicle with respect to the screw shaft.

7. The opening/closing body driving device according to claim 6 , wherein

when the trunk lid is closed, the moving nut is arranged at a first position close to the rotation shaft in the axial direction of the screw shaft,

when the trunk lid is opened, the moving nut is arranged at a second position distant from the rotation shaft with respect to the first position in the axial direction of the screw shaft.

8. The opening/closing body driving device according to claim 7 , wherein

the rotation shaft is rotatably accommodated in a motor case, and

an elastic member is provided between the motor case and the moving nut to urge the moving nut in a direction away from the motor case.

9. The opening/closing body driving device according to claim 4 , wherein

the bracket member comprises a fixed arm being bent toward the second position, and

the connection part is provided at the fixed arm.
