Abstract
One object is to provide a plug door device that can make a contribution to a size reduction thereof, while suppressing a decrease in airtightness of a door. A plug door device is provided with an electric motor, a plug operation portion that moves a door in a width direction of a vehicle, a front-back operation portion that moves the door in a front-back direction of the vehicle, a movement suppressing portion that can suppress movement of the door in the front-back direction, and a planetary gear mechanism that distributes a drive force of the electric motor to the plug operation portion when movement of the door in the front-back direction is suppressed by the movement suppressing portion, and distributes a drive force of the electric motor to the front-back operation portion when movement of the door in the front-back direction is not suppressed by the movement suppressing portion.
