Abstract

A motor unit includes a motor and an amplifier section including a drive circuit that drives the motor. The amplifier section includes an amplifier cover. A power line for supplying power to the motor is bound to the amplifier cover.

Claims (50)

1. A motor unit comprising:

a motor; and

an amplifier section including a drive circuit that drives the motor, wherein

the amplifier section includes an amplifier board, an amplifier cover, and a heat dissipating member,

a power line for supplying power to the motor is bound to the amplifier cover, and

a cushioning member is disposed between the amplifier board and the heat dissipating member.

2. The motor unit according to claim 1 , wherein

the power line is bound to the outside of the amplifier cover.

3. The motor unit according to claim 1 , wherein

another wire is not interposed between the amplifier cover and the power line.

4. The motor unit according to claim 1 , further comprising a waterproof cover covering at least one of the motor and the amplifier section.

5. The motor unit according to claim 1 , wherein

the material of the heat dissipating member is metal.

6. The motor unit according to claim 5 , wherein

the material of the heat dissipating member is any of iron, aluminum, and copper.

7. The motor unit according to claim 1 , wherein

the heat dissipating member can attach the amplifier section to the motor.

8. The motor unit according to claim 1 , wherein

the heat dissipating member can attach the amplifier section to an object other than the motor.

9. The motor unit according to claim 1 , wherein

the heat dissipating member includes a first opening.

10. The motor unit according to claim 1 , wherein

a heat dissipating sheet is disposed between the amplifier board and the heat dissipating member.

11. A motor unit comprising:

a motor; and

an amplifier section including a drive circuit that drives the motor, wherein

the amplifier section includes an amplifier board, an amplifier cover, and a heat dissipating member,

a power line for supplying power to the motor is bound to the amplifier cover, and

a heat dissipating sheet is disposed between the amplifier board and the heat dissipating member.

12. A robot comprising:

a motor unit;

wherein the motor unit includes

a motor, and

an amplifier section including a drive circuit that drives the motor, wherein

the amplifier section includes an amplifier board, an amplifier cover, and a heat dissipating member,

a power line for supplying power to the motor is bound to the amplifier cover, and

a cushioning member is disposed between the amplifier board and the heat dissipating member.

13. The robot according to claim 12 , further comprising a housing, wherein

the amplifier section can be attached to the housing.

14. The robot according to claim 13 , wherein

the amplifier section is located inside the housing.

15. The robot according to claim 13 , wherein

the housing is movable.

16. The robot according to claim 13 , wherein

a portion of the housing, to which the amplifier section can be attached, is the heat dissipating member.

17. The robot according to claim 13 , wherein

the housing includes a second opening, and

a portion of the housing, to which the amplifier section can be attached, is a lid member covering at least a portion of the second opening.

18. The robot according to claim 17 , wherein

the material of the lid member is metal.
