A motor device may include a motor comprising a motor shaft protruded from a motor main body; a worm gear connected with the motor shaft through a coupling; a worm wheel engaged with the worm gear; and a frame on which the motor, the worm gear and the worm wheel are mounted. The coupling may include a motor side coupling part; a transmission member; and a worm gear side coupling part. The motor side coupling part and the transmission member may be relatively movable in a first direction perpendicular to the axial line direction. The transmission member and the worm gear side coupling part may be relatively movable in a second direction perpendicular to the axial line direction and intersecting the first direction. A compression coil spring may be disposed between the transmission member and an end part of the worm gear.

Motor device having transmission member that is movable relative to motor side coupling part and worm gear side coupling part

A motor device may include a motor including a motor shaft protruded from a motor main body; a worm gear connected with the motor shaft through a transmission mechanism and is formed with a spiral groove; and a worm wheel engaged with the worm gear. The transmission mechanism may include a transmission member to transmit rotation of the motor shaft to the worm gear. One end face on the motor main body side of the worm gear and an end face on a worm gear side of the transmission member may be formed with two protruded parts protruded toward the other of the end faces, and a recessed part engaged with the protruded parts is formed in the other of the end faces. A compression coil spring may disposed between the worm gear and the transmission member between the two protruded parts.

Motor device

A lens drive device may include a movable body holding a lens and movable in an optical axis direction of the lens, a fixed body movably holding the movable body, a drive mechanism for driving the movable body, and a board on which an imaging element is mounted and which is fixed on an opposite-to-object side of the fixed body. An opposite-to-object side end face of the fixed body is formed with a plurality of projections which are abutted with a mounting face of the board on which the imaging element is mounted for correcting inclination of an optical axis of the lens with respect to the imaging element.
