Motor with speed reduction mechanism

A motor with speed reduction mechanism, comprising:

• a yoke with a bottom surface;
• a magnet having at least four poles, two different magnetic poles being alternatively disposed on an inner peripheral surface of the yoke;
• an armature having an armature shaft disposed on an inner side of the four pole magnet, the armature shaft having one end rotatably supported by a bottom portion of the yoke, a commutator fixed to the armature shaft and formed of a plurality of segments, and a core fixed to the armature shaft and around which a winding wire is wound, the armature being rotatably disposed on the inner side of the magnet;
• the armature including a part of the winding wire wound around the armature core and a plurality of connecting members with which paired segment parts facing each other among the plurality of segment parts are electrically connected to each other;
• a brush holder unit including at least two brushes in wiping contact with the commutator and disposed so as to be shifted by approximately 90 degrees from each other with respect to a center of rotation of the armature shaft and brush holders holding the brushes;
• and
• a gear housing including a speed reduction mechanism accommodating part having accommodated therein a speed reduction mechanism connected to an opening of the yoke and engaged with a worm formed on the armature shaft;
• and
• a gear housing cover on which a control board for controlling rotation of the armature is mounted, the gear housing cover covering the opening of the gear housing,
• wherein a first heat dissipating member is formed at a back surface of the speed reduction mechanism accommodating part of the gear housing,
• the at least two brushes are disposed in the vicinity of the first heat dissipating member so that heat generated from the brushes is transmitted to the first heat dissipating member,
• brush holder abutting parts respectively abutting on the brush holders via heat conducting members are formed so as to protrude from a bottom portion of a brush holder accommodating part of the gear housing, and
• heat generated from the brushes is transmitted to the brush holder abutting parts, and dissipated from the first heat dissipating member to the outside of the gear housing.
