Motor-integrated transmission device
This motor-integrated transmission device is provided with: a motor provided with an output shaft; a gear train; and a case. A breather part is provided which allows communication between an internal space of the motor-integrated transmission device and the outside. A case internal space and a motor internal space communicate with each other through a connection flow path provided in a different place to an insertion part of the case. The case internal space and the motor internal space communicate with the breather part.
1. A motor-integrated transmission device comprising a motor including an output shaft, a gear train driven by the motor, and a case that includes an insertion portion through which the output shaft of the motor is inserted and that accommodates the gear train, the motor being fixed to the case,
wherein a breather is provided to allow an interior space of the motor-integrated transmission device and an outside thereof to communicate with each other,
an in-case space being an interior space of the case in which the gear train is arranged and an in-motor space being an interior space of the motor communicate with each other through a connecting passage located in a position different from a position of the insertion portion of the case, and
the in-case space and the in-motor space communicate with the breather.
2. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein
the case includes a passage disposed in a position that is offset from the gear train, and
the connecting passage communicates with the in-case space through the passage.
3. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 2 , wherein at least part of the passage is located above the insertion portion of the case.
4. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 2 , wherein the passage includes a horizontal passage located above the output shaft of the motor and extending in a horizontal direction, and a vertical passage connected to the horizontal passage and extending in a vertical direction.
5. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 4 , wherein the horizontal passage extends in parallel with the output shaft.
6. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 2 , wherein
the passage includes an opening positioned in the in-case space, and
a wall facing the opening is provided between the opening and a bottom of the case.
7. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 6 , wherein the wall is formed from a portion of a gear member which forms part of the gear train.
8. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 6 , wherein
the case includes a space forming wall portion that forms the in-case space, and a passage forming wall portion that forms the passage, and
an opening forming portion of the passage forming wall portion that surrounds the opening protrudes from the space forming wall portion into the in-case space.
9. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting passage is located above the insertion portion of the case.
10. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 1 , further comprising a motor mount which is disposed between the case and the motor, and to which the motor is fixed, wherein
the connecting passage is a through hole formed in the motor mount.
11. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 10 , wherein the breather is provided in the motor mount.
12. The motor-integrated transmission device according to claim 10 , wherein
the motor mount is provided with a communicating hole that communicates with the connecting passage and the breather, and
the communicating hole is located in a position that is offset from the connecting passage in a circumferential direction around the insertion portion.
