Themodular base 39 can be inserted in theopening 47 from above themotor case 7. - Further, at an upper edge on the other side of the motor case 7 a
cutout 68 is formed, which is so configured that thestopper device 18 can be inserted therein. - The
power cable 44 being held by the holding portion 43 is kept unmovable in the longitudinal direction of thepower cable 44. As shown inFig. 2 , thepower cable 44 within themotor case 7 is arranged from themodular base 39 to thepower source board 11 by way of the vicinities of theclutch 9 andmotor 8, and connected to thepower source board 11. - As shown in
Fig. 11 , on one side of a lower surface of thebase member 15 anelongated protrusion 70 is formed, which is so configured that the lockinggroove 46 of the lockingportion 45 of thepower cable 44 can be fitted therewith. Attachment holes 63 are formed in four corners of thebase member 15, at locations corresponding toribs 53 formed in four corners of the inner surface of themotor case 7. Further, in the lower surface of thebase member 15, in the vicinities of peripheries on longer edgesides guiding pieces 64 are formed, which is configured to guide the inner surface of themotor case 7 so as to position thebase member 15 relative to themotor case 7. - When the guiding
pieces 64 are fitted to the inner surface of themotor case 7 while themodular base 39 which has been positioned relative to thebase member 15 via the lockingportion 45 of thepower cable 44 and attached to the unit-fixingbracket 20 is inserted into theopening 47 of themotor case 7, a state is reached where centers of the attachment holes 63 and theribs 53 are roughly aligned, and thus thebase member 15 and themotor case 7 are positioned relative to each other. When screws are threaded into theribs 53 from above the attachment holes 63 in this state, thebase member 15 is fixed to themotor case 7. At this time themodular base 39 engages with thebase member 15 and theopening 47 of themotor case 7, and is held thereby. - A
unit cap 50 is attached to a lower end of themotor case 7. Theunit cap 50 is fixed, as shown inFig. 5 , by treading screws into theribs 53 in themotor case 7 through attachment holes 52 each provided in one of four corners of ahorizontal part 51 which is a bottom part of the motor case. - Further, in a middle portion of the horizontal part 51 a pair of operation holes 54 and a
display hole 55 between the operation holes 54 are arranged linearly in the longitudinal direction of thehorizontal part 51. - Inside of the
horizontal part 51 the switch board 13 is attached. The switch board 13 is attached with a screw 57 to an attachment hole 56 (seeFig. 12 ) provided in the vicinity of thedisplay hole 55. The switch board 13 is provided withbutton switches operation hole 54 in a state where the switch board 13 is attached to theattachment hole 56 with the screw 57, and adisplay lamp 59 which is exposed in thedisplay hole 55 in that state. Thepush button switches display lamp 59 are connected to thecontrol board 12 via asocket 60 attached to the switch board 13 andsignal wires 61. - The switch board 13 is provided for setting operation modes of the
motor 8; the operation modes can be changed through a depressing operation of thebutton switch 58a disposed in theoperation hole 54, and the operation modes can be set through a depressing operation of thebutton switch 58b. Thedisplay lamp 59 displays the content set when setting operation of the mode is made. - In the
unit cap 50 guidinggrooves 62 for guiding both side edges of a lower end of thecontrol board 12 are provided at locations below thecontrol board 12. In attaching theunit cap 50 to themotor case 7, inserting the both edges of the lower end of thecontrol board 12 into theguide grooves 62 will facilitate positioning of the attachment holes 52 of theunit cap 50 and theribs 53 of themotor case 7. Note that once theunit cap 50 is fixed to themotor case 7, in a state where themotor case 7 is placed vertically, a gap is formed between thecontrol board 12 and theguide grooves 62 so that vibration of thecontrol board 12 does not propagate to theunit cap 50. In a state where themotor case 7 is held horizontally, the side edges of thecontrol board 12 are held by the guidinggrooves 62. - The
power cable 44 is introduced through an upper end portion on a short edge side of themotor case 7 having the tube shape with the horizontally long cross-section, and guided by way of sides of the fixingbrackets power source board 11 located below. - Further, a signal wire of the clutch 9 is guided downward by way of a gap between the inner surface on the short edge side of the
motor case 7 and the fixingbrackets bracket 36 to thecontrol board 12 and connected thereto. - Also, a signal wire of the
sensor portion 10 is guided downward by way of the gap between the inner surface on the short side of themotor case 7 and the fixingbrackets bracket 36 to thecontrol board 12 and connected thereto. - Now an assembling process of the
motor unit 6 as explained above will be described. First, themotor bracket 16 is attached to thebase member 15, and theclutch 9 and thesensor portion 10 are attached to the unit-fixingbracket 20. Then, theanti-vibration fixing bracket 19 is attached to the unit-fixingbracket 20 via theanti-vibration bushes 21, and thereafter theanti-vibration fixing bracket 19 is attached to thebase member 15. - Next, the motor-fixing
bracket 26 attached with themotor 8 is attached to the unit-fixing bracket via theanti-vibration bushes motor assembly 35 is formed. - Subsequently the
modular base 39 to which themodular board 14 and thepower cable 44 have been attached is attached to thebase member 15. At this time the lockinggroove 46 of the lockingportion 45 of thepower cable 44 engages with theelongated protrusion 70 of thebase member 15. - Next, the
power source board 11 and thecontrol board 12 are attached to the board-fixingbracket 36, thepower cable 44 is connected to thepower source board 11, and each of the signal wires is connected to thecontrol board 12. Then the board-fixingbracket 36 is attached to the motor-fixingbracket 26 with thescrew 37. Further, the switch board 13 is put in a state where it is connected to thecontrol board 12 via thesignal wire 61. - Thereafter, the
motor assembly 35 to which the board-fixingbracket 36 and themodular base 39 have been attached is inserted in themotor case 7 from above it. At this time, the side near thecontrol board 12 is inserted first in themotor case 7. - Then the
modular base 39 is engaged with the opening of themotor case 7 and thebase member 15 is fixed to themotor case 7, so that themotor assembly 35 and the board-fixingbracket 36 are held in themotor case 7. At this time, thepower source board 11 and thecontrol board 12 which are attached to themotor assembly 35 and the board-fixingbracket 36 do not get in contact with the inner surface of themotor case 7. - In this state, if electric power is supplied via the
power cable 44 and themodular board 14 is connected to the operation switch, the motor is activated. - Next, a cap assembly having the switch board 13 attached to the
unit cap 50 is connected to thecontrol board 12 with a signal wire, and theunit cap 50 is attached to the lower end of themotor case 7, resulting in completion of the assembling of themotor unit 6. Further, when themotor unit 6 is attached to thetransfer apparatus 5a, an electric curtain is constituted in which thecurtain fabrics motor 8. - In the
motor unit 6 constituted as explained above, the unit-fixingbracket 20 is attached via theanti-vibration bushes 21 to theanti-vibration fixing bracket 19 fixed to thebase member 15, and the motor-fixingbracket 26 attached with themotor 8 is attached via theanti-vibration bushes bracket 20. - Therefore, vibrations generated when the
motor 8 operates propagate to the unit-fixingbracket 20 and theanti-vibration fixing bracket 19 after being attenuated sufficiently. - Further, the
power source board 11 and thecontrol board 12 which are attached to themotor assembly 35 and the board-fixingbracket 36 are not in contact with the inner surface of themotor case 7. - Accordingly, vibrations propagating from the
motor 8 to themotor case 7 is suppressed, so that generation of noises is suppressed. - Moreover, since the board-fixing
bracket 36 on which thepower source board 11 and thecontrol board 12 are mounted is attached to the motor-fixingbracket 26, mass of the motor-fixingbracket 26 is virtually increased, causing a resonance frequency of the motor-fixingbracket 26 itself or themotor assembly 35 itself to shift to the low frequency side. -
Fig. 13 shows a noise N1 generated from themotor assembly 35 when themotor 8 is activated in a state where the board-fixingbracket 36 is not attached to themotor assembly 35, a noise N2 generated from themotor assembly 35 when themotor 8 is activated in a state where the board-fixingbracket 36 is attached to themotor assembly 35, and a background noise N3 at the time of measurement. - As shown in this figure, it was found that the noise level in the wavelength range of 1 kHz to 2 kHz, which sounds as a most abrasive noise, was lowered when the board-fixing
bracket 36 was attached to the motor-fixingbracket 26. - According to the
motor unit 6 of the electric curtain having the constitution explained above, the following advantageous effects can be obtained. - (1) Assembling work is easy, since the
motor assembly 35,power source board 11, thecontrol board 12 and themodular board 14 are assembled first with thebase member 15 integrally, and thereafter inserted in themotor case 7. - (2) It is possible to connect the
motor assembly 35 to thepower source board 11, thecontrol board 12 and themodular board 14 with thepower cable 44, thesignal wires 49 and the other signal wires beforehand, and subsequently insert them in the motor case. Therefore, it is not necessary to make thepower cable 44, thesignal wires 49 and the other signal wires long, allowing the connection with substantially shortest cables or wires. - (3) Adverse effects due to noses can be reduced, since the
power cable 44, thesignal wires 49 and the other signal wires can be made shortest. - (4) It is possible to position the
motor case 7 relative to thebase member 15 easily by means of theguide pieces 64 provided to the basedmember 15 and then fit them. - (5) It is possible to attach the
modular base 39 after positioning it relative to themotor case 7 easily by inserting the opening edge of theopening 47 of themotor case 7 in the lockinggrooves 48 of themodular base 39. - (6) It is possible to attach the switch board 13 to the
unit cap 50, and subsequently attach theunit cap 50 to the lower end of themotor case 7. Therefore, it is possible to certainly position thepush button switches display lamp 59 of the switch board 13 relative to the operation holes 54 and thedisplay hole 55 and then fix them. - (7) In attaching the
unit cap 50 to the lower end of the motor case, it is possible to easily position theunit cap 50 and the motor case by inserting the end portion of thecontrol board 12 in theguide pieces 64 of theunit cap 50. - The above embodiment may be implemented in the following manner.
