A motor includes a motor unit, a speed reduction mechanism, a motion conversion mechanism, and a housing. The motion conversion mechanism converts rotary motion of the speed reduction. mechanism into reciprocating rotary motion and transmits the motion to an output shaft. The speed reduction mechanism includes a worm, a first gear, and a second gear. The worm is disposed on a rotation shaft of the motor unit. The first gear transmits rotation of the worm and rotates about a first shaft. The second gear receives rotation of the first gear and rotates about a second shaft. The motion conversion mechanism includes a rotary member and a rod. The rotary member includes a sector gear and rotates about an axis of the first shaft. The rod couples the second gear and the rotary member. The output shaft includes an output gear that engages the sector gear.

Motor with speed reduction mechanism

In a noise suppression device of a washer pump, a first capacitor and a second capacitor are disposed with their height directions along a first direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the washer pump. This thereby enables installation space for the first capacitor and the second capacitor to be suppressed from becoming larger in the axial direction. A second terminal of the second capacitor is disposed between first terminals of the first capacitor. This thereby enables the installation space of the first capacitor and the second capacitor to be made smaller in the first direction and in a second direction orthogonal to the axial direction. The space between the pair of first terminals (the second terminals) is accordingly efficiently utilized for disposing the second terminal (the first terminal), enabling the first capacitor and the second capacitor to be disposed efficiently.
