Description

  The present invention relates to a reduction gear with a motor that is used as a drive source for an elevating device installed outdoors, and more specifically, rainwater or the like is prevented from entering the inside through a gap between a motor housing and a cable. The present invention relates to a reduction gear with a waterproof motor.

  For example, in a reduction gear 10 with a motor as shown in FIG. 1 used as a drive source for an elevating device installed outdoors, the cable 12 is inserted when the cable 12 is pulled out from the inside of the motor housing 14. Therefore, a sealing structure for preventing rainwater or the like from entering the inside of the motor housing 14 from the through hole 16 provided in the motor housing 14 is required. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of this type of sealing structure. FIG. 6A is a developed cross-sectional view of the parts constituting the sealed structure, and FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view of the assembled parts constituting the sealed structure.

In this sealed structure, a through hole 66 is formed in the motor housing 64 so as to pass through the inner line 62 a wrapped in the outer skin 62 b of the cable 62, and the side surface 66 a has a diameter toward the inner side of the motor housing 64. The insertion hole 66c through which the extension line 62a of the cable 62 is inserted is formed in the bottom surface 66b. An elastic bracket 65 surrounding the extension 62 a of the cable 62 is inserted into the through hole 66. The elastic body bracket 65 has a side surface 65 a whose diameter decreases toward the inner side of the motor housing 64 so as to be fitted to the through hole 66, and a flange portion 65 b that contacts the outer surface of the motor housing 64. Have. A cable fixing plate 63 for pressing the side surface 65a of the elastic body bracket 65 to the side surface 66a of the through hole 66 and the flange portion 65a of the elastic body bracket 65 to the outer surface of the motor housing 64 is provided. The elastic bracket 65 is sandwiched between the fixing plate 63 and the motor housing 64, and the cable fixing plate 63 is screwed into the screw hole 67 screwed into the motor housing 64 with the fixing bolt 61, whereby the cable 62 and the motor housing 64 are fixed. (See, for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, the above-described sealed structure has a problem in that stress is applied to the elastic body bracket 65 from the side surface 66a and the bottom surface 66b of the through hole 66, and the elastic body bracket 65 deteriorates early. Further, there is a problem that the flange portion 65a of the elastic body bracket 65 is damaged by overtightening the fixing bolt 61. Furthermore, when the through hole 66 is drilled in the motor housing 64, a taper process is required, and it takes time to manufacture a sealed structure.
