Abstract

In a motor, a wire terminal, to which an end at an end of winding of a wire is connected, is held by an insulator that is held by a stator core. The wire terminal comprises: a substrate connection section; plural legs held by a split insulator; a plate section, a thickness direction of which faces a radial direction, between the legs and the substrate connection section; and a wire connection section, a portion of which projected from the plate section is bent to hold the wire on an inner side. An elastic section is a meandering section meandering to turn back in a circumferential direction between the plate section and the substrate connection section, and extends from an end on another side in the circumferential direction of the plate section toward the substrate connection section.

The heat generated when the coil is energized is transmitted from the coil holding portion to the guide portions and dissipated to the outside from the cover, which is in surface contact with the guide portions. Therefore, the temperature rise of the coil can be suppressed.

Abstract

An actuator includes a cover that houses a movable body. The cover is divided into two parts: a first cover member and a second cover member. A first comb teeth portion disposed at the end of the first cover member and a second comb teeth portion disposed at the end of the second cover member slidably engage each other in a first direction. Therefore, the first and second cover members can be assembled by adjusting the gap between the cover and the movable body in which a connecting member connecting the movable body and the cover is disposed, so that the dimensional accuracy of the gap between the cover and the movable body can be improved. Therefore, the movable body and the support body can be securely connected, and assembly defects can be avoided. Moreover, excess compression of the connecting member can be avoided.

Abstract

The actuator includes a magnetic drive mechanism to relatively move the movable body with respect to the support body. The magnetic drive mechanism has a magnet and a coil. The connecting element connected to the support body and the movable body is a viscoelastic member. The viscoelastic member has a temperature characteristic that a loss tangent (Tan δ) thereof measured by a dynamic viscoelasticity measurement decreases as a temperature rises. When using a silicone gel as the connecting element, the decrease in the peak value of the acceleration of the movable body caused by the decrease in the current flowing through the coil is cancelled by the increase in the peak value of the acceleration of the movable body caused by the decrease in Tan δ of the silicone gel. Therefore, the oscillation of the movable body is unchanged even if a temperature changes.

Abstract

The present invention provides an input device provided with a mid-air image forming mechanism that projects, in a space, an image displayed on a display surface, thereby causing the image to be formed as a mid-air image. The input device makes it possible for a user to recognize, when the user has performed a prescribed operation in an mid-air image display area in which the mid-air image is to be displayed, that the operation has surely been performed. In this input device, a mid-air image display area R in which a mid-air image is to be displayed is an input unit 18 for receiving information input by a user by using a fingertip of the user. When a control unit for controlling the input device recognizes, on the basis of the detection result of a detection mechanism for detecting the position of a fingertip of the user in the mid-air image display area R, that a user operation that is a prescribed operation of the user has been performed on the input unit 18, the control unit performs notification control for notifying the user that the user operation has been performed.
