 本発明は、薬液投与装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a drug solution administration device.
 従来から、薬液容器に充填した薬液を押し子の押圧作用により生体内に投与するシリンジポンプ型の薬液投与装置が知られている。押し子は、例えば、モータの回転駆動力による薬液容器内への押し込みに伴って薬液を薬液容器から吐出させるように構成することができる。 Conventionally, a syringe pump type drug solution administration device that administers a drug solution filled in a drug solution container into a living body by a pressing action of a pusher has been known. The pusher can be configured to discharge the chemical solution from the chemical solution container as the pusher is pushed into the chemical solution container by the rotational driving force of the motor, for example.
 モータは、押し子を薬液の充填された薬液容器内に押し進めるために十分なトルクを発生することが求められる。下記特許文献1には、十分なトルクを発生させるモータとして、回転駆動力を発生するモータ部と、モータ部に連結されてモータ部から伝わる回転駆動力を減速して出力するギアヘッド部と、含むギアードモータが開示されている。 The motor is required to generate sufficient torque to push the pusher into the chemical solution container filled with the chemical solution. Patent Document 1 below includes a motor unit that generates a rotational driving force and a gear head unit that is connected to the motor unit and decelerates and outputs the rotational driving force transmitted from the motor unit as a motor that generates a sufficient torque.

 本発明者らの検討によれば、ギアードモータのモータ部およびギアヘッド部のうちの一方の部材のみを固定部材によって薬液投与装置のハウジングに固定した場合、落下等の衝撃によってモータ部とギアヘッド部とが分離する可能性があることが判明した。したがって、モータ部とギアヘッド部が不用意に分離することを抑制するためには、モータ部およびギアヘッド部の両方をハウジングに固定することが望ましいと考えられる。 According to the study by the present inventors, when only one member of the motor part and the gear head part of the geared motor is fixed to the housing of the chemical solution administration device by the fixing member, the motor part and the gear head part are caused by an impact such as dropping. It turns out that there is a possibility of separation. Therefore, in order to prevent the motor portion and the gear head portion from being inadvertently separated, it is considered desirable to fix both the motor portion and the gear head portion to the housing.

In this case, it was found that the motor portion and the gear head portion are fixed in a relatively displaced state due to the processing accuracy of each fixing member for fixing the motor portion and the gear head portion. Then, it was found that when the motor portion and the gear head portion are relatively misaligned, the axial center of the gear head portion is not aligned with the axial center of the motor portion, and the torque transmitted from the motor portion to the gear head portion is reduced. did.

 図3および図4に示すように、ハウジング本体部121の上面121aには、ハウジング120の外部から収容空間内を視認可能にする窓部124が形成されている。窓部124は、ハウジング本体部121の一部に透明または半透明な部分を設けることで形成している。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a window portion 124 is formed on the upper surface 121a of the housing main body portion 121 so that the inside of the accommodation space can be visually recognized from the outside of the housing 120. The window portion 124 is formed by providing a transparent or translucent portion in a part of the housing main body portion 121.
 図4に示すように、ハウジング本体部121の長手方向の基端側には、シャーシ122をハウジング本体部121の収容空間に挿入するための基端開口部125が形成されている。図3および図4に示すように、ハウジング本体部121の基端開口部125は、収容空間にシャーシ122を収容した状態で、蓋部材123により閉じられる。 As shown in FIG. 4, a base end opening 125 for inserting the chassis 122 into the accommodation space of the housing main body 121 is formed on the base end side of the housing main body 121 in the longitudinal direction. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the base end opening 125 of the housing main body 121 is closed by the lid member 123 with the chassis 122 accommodated in the accommodation space.
 図4に示すように、ハウジング本体部121の底面121bには、使用者の体表面Hに貼着可能なシート状の貼着部(図示省略)を設けている。薬液投与装置100を使用者に取り付ける前の初期状態において、貼着部の貼着面には、剥離可能な保護シートが取り付けられる。 As shown in FIG. 4, a sheet-shaped attachment portion (not shown) that can be attached to the body surface H of the user is provided on the bottom surface 121b of the housing main body portion 121. In the initial state before attaching the chemical solution administration device 100 to the user, a peelable protective sheet is attached to the attachment surface of the attachment portion.
 シャーシ122には、薬液容器110と、押し子130と、駆動機構140と、制御部150と、電源部160と、が保持されている。 The chassis 122 holds a chemical solution container 110, a pusher 130, a drive mechanism 140, a control unit 150, and a power supply unit 160.
 薬液容器110は、いわゆるプレフィルド型の薬液容器で構成している。そのため、薬液は、薬液容器110の内腔111内に予め充填されている。薬液としては、例えば、タンパク質製剤、麻薬性鎮痛薬、利尿薬等が挙げられる。 The chemical solution container 110 is composed of a so-called prefilled chemical solution container. Therefore, the chemical solution is pre-filled in the cavity 111 of the chemical solution container 110. Examples of the drug solution include protein preparations, narcotic analgesics, diuretics and the like.
 薬液容器110の先端部112に形成された先端開口部(吐出口)には、薬液が漏洩するのを防止するための封止部材(図示省略)を配置している。図3に示すように、薬液容器110の先端部112は、ハウジング本体部121から外部に突出するように配置される。また、薬液容器110においてハウジング本体部121から突出した先端部には、後述するチューブ240(図1を参照)との接続がなされる装着部115を取り付けている。 A sealing member (not shown) for preventing leakage of the chemical solution is arranged at the tip opening (discharge port) formed at the tip end 112 of the chemical solution container 110. As shown in FIG. 3, the tip portion 112 of the chemical solution container 110 is arranged so as to project outward from the housing main body portion 121. Further, a mounting portion 115 that is connected to a tube 240 (see FIG. 1), which will be described later, is attached to a tip portion of the chemical solution container 110 that protrudes from the housing main body portion 121.
 図4に示すように、薬液容器110の内腔111には、押し子130が挿入される。押し子130の先端には、薬液容器110の内壁と摺動可能なガスケット131を配置している。ガスケット131は、ガスケット131の外周部が薬液容器110の内周面と液密に密着することにより、ガスケット131の基端側を液密に封止する。 As shown in FIG. 4, the pusher 130 is inserted into the cavity 111 of the chemical solution container 110. At the tip of the pusher 130, a gasket 131 slidable with the inner wall of the chemical liquid container 110 is arranged. In the gasket 131, the outer peripheral portion of the gasket 131 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the chemical liquid container 110 in a liquid-tight manner, thereby sealing the base end side of the gasket 131 in a liquid-tight manner.
 駆動機構140は、電源部160から駆動電流を受給して回転駆動力を生じさせるギアードモータ141と、ギアードモータ141の回転駆動力を伝達する歯車等を備える減速機構142と、減速機構142に接続された送りネジ143と、を有している。 The drive mechanism 140 is connected to a geared motor 141 that receives a drive current from the power supply unit 160 to generate a rotational drive force, a reduction mechanism 142 including gears that transmit the rotational drive force of the geared motor 141, and a reduction mechanism 142. It has a feed screw 143 and the like.
 ギアードモータ141の構造およびギアードモータ141のハウジング120への取り付け構造および取り付け方法については、後述する。 The structure of the geared motor 141 and the mounting structure and mounting method of the geared motor 141 to the housing 120 will be described later.
 送りネジ143は、押し子130の基端付近に螺合している。送りネジ143は、減速機構142から伝達された回転運動を直線運動に変換して、押し子130を長手方向(X方向)に前進させる。押し子130は、薬液容器110の先端側へ向けて前進することにより、薬液容器110の内腔111からチューブ240(図1を参照)へ薬液を押し出す。 The feed screw 143 is screwed near the base end of the pusher 130. The lead screw 143 converts the rotary motion transmitted from the speed reduction mechanism 142 into a linear motion, and advances the pusher 130 in the longitudinal direction (X direction). The pusher 130 pushes the chemical solution from the cavity 111 of the chemical solution container 110 into the tube 240 (see FIG. 1) by advancing toward the tip end side of the chemical solution container 110.
 制御部150は、薬液投与装置100の薬液の送液動作を制御する。制御部150は、例えば、CPU、RAM、ROM等を実装した公知のマイクロコンピュータ(電子回路素子)により構成することができる。制御部150は、駆動機構140、電源部160の動作制御を統括的に実行する。 The control unit 150 controls the liquid feeding operation of the chemical liquid of the chemical liquid administration device 100. The control unit 150 can be configured by, for example, a known microcomputer (electronic circuit element) equipped with a CPU, RAM, ROM, or the like. The control unit 150 comprehensively executes the operation control of the drive mechanism 140 and the power supply unit 160.
 電源部160は、例えば、公知の電池等で構成することができる。 The power supply unit 160 can be composed of, for example, a known battery or the like.
 次に、図5~図11を参照して、ギアードモータ141の構造およびギアードモータ141のハウジング120への取り付け構造について説明する。 Next, the structure of the geared motor 141 and the mounting structure of the geared motor 141 to the housing 120 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 11.
 ギアードモータ141は、減速機付きモータとも呼ばれる。ギアードモータ141は、図5および図6に示すように、回転駆動するモータ部144と、モータ部144に連結されてモータ部144から伝わる回転駆動力を減速して出力するギアヘッド部145と、を有する。このように、ギアードモータ141は、ギアヘッド部145がモータ部144から伝わる回転駆動力を減速して出力するため、出力トルクを増大させることができる。そのため、ギアードモータ141は、減速機構142とともに、押し子130を薬液が充填された薬液容器110内に押し込むために十分なトルクを発生させることができる。 The geared motor 141 is also called a motor with a speed reducer. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the geared motor 141 includes a motor unit 144 that is rotationally driven, and a gear head unit 145 that is connected to the motor unit 144 and decelerates and outputs a rotational driving force transmitted from the motor unit 144. Have. As described above, in the geared motor 141, the gear head portion 145 decelerates and outputs the rotational driving force transmitted from the motor portion 144, so that the output torque can be increased. Therefore, the geared motor 141, together with the speed reduction mechanism 142, can generate a sufficient torque to push the pusher 130 into the chemical liquid container 110 filled with the chemical liquid.
 図6に示すように、モータ部144は、ステータ144aと、ステータ144a内に配置されてステータ144aによって回転されるロータ144bと、ロータ144bに連結されてロータ144bとともに回転するモータシャフト144cと、これらを収容するモータ側ケース144dと、を有する。 As shown in FIG. 6, the motor unit 144 includes a stator 144a, a rotor 144b arranged in the stator 144a and rotated by the stator 144a, a motor shaft 144c connected to the rotor 144b and rotating together with the rotor 144b, and the like. It has a motor side case 144d and a case for accommodating the above.
 ギアヘッド部145は、モータシャフト144cから入力された回転駆動力を減速して出力する歯車減速機構145aと、歯車減速機構145aによって減速された回転駆動力を出力する出力シャフト145bと、これらを収容するギア側ケース145cと、を有する。 The gear head portion 145 accommodates a gear reduction mechanism 145a that decelerates and outputs the rotational driving force input from the motor shaft 144c, and an output shaft 145b that outputs the rotational driving force decelerated by the gear reduction mechanism 145a. It has a gear side case 145c and.
 歯車減速機構145aは、複数のギアの組み合わせ(図示省略)によって構成している。歯車減速機構145aを構成する複数のギアの組合せは、特に限定されないが、遊星歯車減速機構等の公知の歯車減速機構を用いることができる。モータシャフト144cは、図7Aに例示するように、歯車減速機構145aを構成する少なくとも一のギア(以下、入力ギア145dと称する)とカップリングし、入力ギア145dに回転駆動力を入力する。モータシャフト144cは、例えば、図7Aに示すように、入力ギア145dに挿入されることによってカップリングしてもよい。また、モータシャフト144cは、例えば、図8Aに示すように、モータシャフト144cにピニオンPを形成し、モータシャフト144cのピニオンPを入力ギア145dと噛合せることによってカップリングさせてもよい。 The gear reduction mechanism 145a is composed of a combination of a plurality of gears (not shown). The combination of a plurality of gears constituting the gear reduction mechanism 145a is not particularly limited, but a known gear reduction mechanism such as a planetary gear reduction mechanism can be used. As illustrated in FIG. 7A, the motor shaft 144c is coupled with at least one gear (hereinafter, referred to as an input gear 145d) constituting the gear reduction mechanism 145a, and a rotational driving force is input to the input gear 145d. The motor shaft 144c may be coupled by being inserted into the input gear 145d, for example, as shown in FIG. 7A. Further, the motor shaft 144c may be coupled by forming a pinion P on the motor shaft 144c and engaging the pinion P of the motor shaft 144c with the input gear 145d, for example, as shown in FIG. 8A.
 出力シャフト145bは、歯車減速機構145aを構成する少なくとも一のギア(図示省略)とカップリングしている。図6に示すように、出力シャフト145bは、ギア側ケース145cの外部に突出しており、減速機構142に回転駆動力を伝達する。 The output shaft 145b is coupled with at least one gear (not shown) constituting the gear reduction mechanism 145a. As shown in FIG. 6, the output shaft 145b projects to the outside of the gear side case 145c and transmits the rotational driving force to the reduction mechanism 142.
 モータ側ケース144dおよびギア側ケース145cは、互いに連結している。モータ側ケース144dおよびギア側ケース145cは、本実施形態では、略円筒形状を有する。ギア側ケース145cの外面には、径方向外方に向かって突出する突起145eが形成されている。ただし、モータ側ケース144dおよびギア側ケース145cの形状は特に限定されない。 The motor side case 144d and the gear side case 145c are connected to each other. The motor-side case 144d and the gear-side case 145c have a substantially cylindrical shape in the present embodiment. A protrusion 145e is formed on the outer surface of the gear side case 145c so as to project outward in the radial direction. However, the shapes of the motor side case 144d and the gear side case 145c are not particularly limited.
 図9に示すように、ギアヘッド部145は、固定部材170によってハウジング120のシャーシ122に固定されている。なお、本明細書において「固定部材」とは、ギアードモータをハウジングに組み付ける際にギアードモータが押付けられても容易に変形しない程度の硬度を備え、ギアードモータをハウジングに固定できる部材(すなわちブラケット等)を意味する。 As shown in FIG. 9, the gear head portion 145 is fixed to the chassis 122 of the housing 120 by the fixing member 170. In the present specification, the "fixing member" is a member (that is, a bracket, etc.) capable of fixing the geared motor to the housing, having a hardness that does not easily deform even if the geared motor is pressed when the geared motor is assembled to the housing. ) Means.
 固定部材170は、本実施形態では、シャーシ122との間にギアヘッド部145を挟み込むように配置される挟持部171と、挟持部171の両端部に連なるとともに、シャーシ122に向かって延在し、挟持部171をシャーシ122に固定する一対の固定部172、173と、を有する。すなわち、固定部材170は、略逆Uの字状の外形を有している。ただし、固定部材170の外形は、ギアヘッド部145をシャーシ122に固定できる限り特に限定されない。 In the present embodiment, the fixing member 170 is connected to both ends of the sandwiching portion 171 and the sandwiching portion 171 arranged so as to sandwich the gear head portion 145 with the chassis 122, and extends toward the chassis 122. It has a pair of fixing portions 172 and 173 for fixing the holding portion 171 to the chassis 122. That is, the fixing member 170 has a substantially inverted U-shaped outer shape. However, the outer shape of the fixing member 170 is not particularly limited as long as the gear head portion 145 can be fixed to the chassis 122.
 挟持部171においてギアヘッド部145に対向する面には、ギアヘッド部145の突起145eが配置される溝部171aが形成されている。そのため、固定部材170は、ギア側ケース145cが回転することを抑制できる。 A groove portion 171a in which the protrusion 145e of the gear head portion 145 is arranged is formed on the surface of the sandwiching portion 171 facing the gear head portion 145. Therefore, the fixing member 170 can suppress the rotation of the gear side case 145c.
 一対の固定部172、173は、挟持部171がギアヘッド部145に押し付けられた状態で、シャーシ122に固定されている。そのため、固定部材170は、ギアヘッド部145の位置ずれを効果的に抑制できる。一対の固定部172、173には、本実施形態では、後述するシャーシ122の一対の突起126a、126bが挿入される貫通孔172a、173aが形成されている。一対の固定部172、173は、一対の突起126a、126bに係合することによってシャーシ122に固定される。ただし、固定部材170をハウジング120に固定する方法は特に限定されない。例えば、固定部材170は、ねじ留めされることによってハウジングに固定されてもよい。 The pair of fixing portions 172 and 173 are fixed to the chassis 122 in a state where the holding portion 171 is pressed against the gear head portion 145. Therefore, the fixing member 170 can effectively suppress the misalignment of the gear head portion 145. In the present embodiment, the pair of fixing portions 172 and 173 are formed with through holes 172a and 173a into which the pair of protrusions 126a and 126b of the chassis 122, which will be described later, are inserted. The pair of fixing portions 172 and 173 are fixed to the chassis 122 by engaging with the pair of protrusions 126a and 126b. However, the method of fixing the fixing member 170 to the housing 120 is not particularly limited. For example, the fixing member 170 may be fixed to the housing by being screwed.
 固定部材170は、本実施形態では、バネ性を有する材料によって形成されている。そのような材料としては、例えば、ポリカーボネート(PC)やポリオキシメチレン(POM)等が挙げられる。固定部材170がバネ性を備えることで、薬液投与装置100が落下した際に、ギアードモータ141に伝わる衝撃を抑制することができる。ただし、固定部材170を形成する材料は、バネ性を備えていなくてもよく、公知の樹脂材料や金属材料を用いることができる。 In the present embodiment, the fixing member 170 is formed of a springy material. Examples of such a material include polycarbonate (PC) and polyoxymethylene (POM). Since the fixing member 170 has a spring property, it is possible to suppress the impact transmitted to the geared motor 141 when the chemical solution administration device 100 is dropped. However, the material forming the fixing member 170 does not have to have springiness, and a known resin material or metal material can be used.
 本発明者らの検討によれば、ギアヘッド部145のみを固定部材170によってシャーシ122に固定した場合、落下等の衝撃によってモータ部144とギアヘッド部145とが分離する可能性があることが判明した。したがって、モータ部144とギアヘッド部145が不用意に分離することを抑制する観点から、モータ部144およびギアヘッド部145の両方をシャーシ122に固定することが望ましい。 According to the studies by the present inventors, it has been found that when only the gear head portion 145 is fixed to the chassis 122 by the fixing member 170, the motor portion 144 and the gear head portion 145 may be separated by an impact such as dropping. .. Therefore, from the viewpoint of suppressing careless separation of the motor portion 144 and the gear head portion 145, it is desirable to fix both the motor portion 144 and the gear head portion 145 to the chassis 122.
 ところで、図7Aに例示するように、モータ部144の出力するトルクをギアヘッド部145に伝達する観点から、モータ部144の軸心S1と、ギアヘッド部145の軸心S2と、はアライメントされている必要がある。ここで、モータ部144の軸心S1とは、モータシャフト144cの軸心S1を意味し、ギアヘッド部145の軸心S2とは、モータシャフト144cとカップリングする入力ギア145dの軸心S2を意味する。また、「アライメントされた状態」とは、モータ部144の軸心S1とギアヘッド部145の軸心S2とが、十分なトルク(例えば定格トルク)を出力できるように、適切な位置関係にある状態を意味する。したがって、例えば、図7Aに示すように、モータシャフト144cが入力ギア145dの軸受け部に挿入される場合、アライメントされた状態とは、モータシャフト144cの軸心S1と入力ギア145dの軸心S2とが略同一直線上に位置する状態を意味する。また、図8Aに示すように、モータシャフト144cが例えばピニオンPが形成されたシャフトである場合、アライメントされた状態とは、モータシャフト144cの軸心S1と入力ギア145dの軸心S2とが略平行に位置する状態を意味する。 By the way, as illustrated in FIG. 7A, the axis S1 of the motor unit 144 and the axis S2 of the gear head unit 145 are aligned from the viewpoint of transmitting the torque output by the motor unit 144 to the gear head unit 145. There is a need. Here, the axis S1 of the motor unit 144 means the axis S1 of the motor shaft 144c, and the axis S2 of the gear head unit 145 means the axis S2 of the input gear 145d that couples with the motor shaft 144c. To do. Further, the "aligned state" is a state in which the axis S1 of the motor unit 144 and the axis S2 of the gear head unit 145 are in an appropriate positional relationship so that sufficient torque (for example, rated torque) can be output. Means. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 7A, when the motor shaft 144c is inserted into the bearing portion of the input gear 145d, the aligned state is the axis S1 of the motor shaft 144c and the axis S2 of the input gear 145d. Means that they are located on substantially the same straight line. Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, when the motor shaft 144c is, for example, a shaft on which a pinion P is formed, the aligned state means that the axis S1 of the motor shaft 144c and the axis S2 of the input gear 145d are abbreviated. It means a state in which they are located in parallel.
 しかしながら、本発明者らの検討によれば、落下時の分離を抑制するために、モータ部144も固定部材(ブラケット等)でシャーシ122に固定した場合、各固定部材の加工の精度等に起因して、モータ部144がギアヘッド部145に対して位置ずれし、ギアードモータ141が屈曲することが判明した。そして、図7Bおよび図8Bに例示するように、ギアードモータ141が屈曲した状態では、モータ部144の軸心S1に対してギアヘッド部145の軸心S2がアライメントされず、モータ部144からギアヘッド部145に伝わるトルクが低減することが判明した。 However, according to the study by the present inventors, when the motor unit 144 is also fixed to the chassis 122 with a fixing member (bracket or the like) in order to suppress the separation when dropped, it is caused by the processing accuracy of each fixing member or the like. Then, it was found that the motor portion 144 was displaced with respect to the gear head portion 145, and the geared motor 141 was bent. Then, as illustrated in FIGS. 7B and 8B, when the geared motor 141 is bent, the axis S2 of the gear head portion 145 is not aligned with the axis S1 of the motor portion 144, and the motor portion 144 to the gear head portion It was found that the torque transmitted to 145 was reduced.
 本発明者らは、鋭意検討した結果、ギアードモータ141のシャーシ122への組み付けの際に未硬化状態(軟化状態)から硬化状態に移行する保持部材180(硬化性組成物)によって、モータ部144をシャーシ122に保持することで上記課題を解決できることを見出した。ここで、未硬化状態とは、ギアードモータ141が押付けられた際に容易に変形可能な状態を意味する。 As a result of diligent studies, the present inventors have made the motor unit 144 by the holding member 180 (curable composition) that shifts from the uncured state (softened state) to the cured state when the geared motor 141 is assembled to the chassis 122. It was found that the above problem can be solved by holding the above-mentioned in the chassis 122. Here, the uncured state means a state in which the geared motor 141 can be easily deformed when pressed.
 図10および図11に示すように、保持部材180は、ギアードモータ141のシャーシ122への取り付けの際に、モータ部144とシャーシ122との間の隙間に未硬化状態で配置される。保持部材180は、未硬化状態では、ギアヘッド部145の軸心S2に対してモータ部144の軸心S1がアライメントされたギアヘッド部145とモータ部144との相対的な位置関係が維持されるように、モータ部144の位置に応じて変形する。そして、保持部材180は、ギアヘッド部145とモータ部144との相対的な位置関係が維持したまま硬化状態に移行する。その結果、保持部材180は、ギアヘッド部145の軸心S2に対してモータ部144の軸心S1が倣った位置(アライメントされた位置)にモータ部144を保持できる。そのため、薬液投与装置100は、落下等の衝撃によるモータ部144とギアヘッド部145との分離を抑制しつつ、ギアードモータ141の出力するトルクが低減することを抑制できる。 As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the holding member 180 is arranged in an uncured state in the gap between the motor portion 144 and the chassis 122 when the geared motor 141 is attached to the chassis 122. In the uncured state, the holding member 180 maintains a relative positional relationship between the gear head portion 145 and the motor portion 144 in which the axial center S1 of the motor portion 144 is aligned with the axial center S2 of the gear head portion 145. In addition, it is deformed according to the position of the motor unit 144. Then, the holding member 180 shifts to the cured state while maintaining the relative positional relationship between the gear head portion 145 and the motor portion 144. As a result, the holding member 180 can hold the motor portion 144 at a position (aligned position) where the axial center S1 of the motor portion 144 follows the axial center S2 of the gear head portion 145. Therefore, the chemical solution administration device 100 can suppress the reduction of the torque output by the geared motor 141 while suppressing the separation of the motor unit 144 and the gear head unit 145 due to an impact such as dropping.
 保持部材180は、本実施形態では、接着剤によって構成している。そのため、保持部材180は、シャーシ122およびモータ部144に接着しつつ、未硬化状態では、ギアヘッド部145とモータ部144との相対的な位置関係を維持するように、モータ部144の位置に応じて容易に変形できる。 In this embodiment, the holding member 180 is made of an adhesive. Therefore, the holding member 180 is adhered to the chassis 122 and the motor portion 144, and in the uncured state, the holding member 180 corresponds to the position of the motor portion 144 so as to maintain the relative positional relationship between the gear head portion 145 and the motor portion 144. Can be easily deformed.
 次に、ギアードモータ141の周辺のシャーシ122の構造について説明する。 Next, the structure of the chassis 122 around the geared motor 141 will be described.
 図5および図6に示すように、シャーシ122は、ギアードモータ141を囲う枠部126と、枠部126内に配置され、ギアヘッド部145を支持するギアヘッド支持部127と、を有する。さらに、シャーシ122は、枠部126内に配置され、保持部材180を収容する収容部128と、を有する。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the chassis 122 has a frame portion 126 that surrounds the geared motor 141, and a gear head support portion 127 that is arranged in the frame portion 126 and supports the gear head portion 145. Further, the chassis 122 is arranged in the frame portion 126 and has an accommodating portion 128 for accommodating the holding member 180.
 図5および図6に示すように、枠部126は、出力シャフト145bを除いたギアードモータ141の周囲を囲むように設けられている。図9に示すように、枠部126において固定部材170の一対の固定部172、173に対向する面には、貫通孔172a、173aに挿入される突起126a、126bが形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the frame portion 126 is provided so as to surround the periphery of the geared motor 141 excluding the output shaft 145b. As shown in FIG. 9, protrusions 126a and 126b to be inserted into the through holes 172a and 173a are formed on the surface of the frame portion 126 facing the pair of fixing portions 172 and 173 of the fixing member 170.
 ギアヘッド支持部127は、ギアヘッド部145の外周面に当接する。なお、ギアヘッド支持部127は、少なくとも一部がギアヘッド部145の外周面に当接すればよく、図示する形状に限定されない。 The gear head support portion 127 abuts on the outer peripheral surface of the gear head portion 145. The gear head support portion 127 may be at least partially in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the gear head portion 145, and is not limited to the shape shown in the drawing.
 図11に示すように、収容部128は、ギアヘッド部145がギアヘッド支持部127に当接した状態で、モータ部144に対向するとともに、モータ部144とギアヘッド部145との連結部から離間する位置に設けられた一対の仕切り部128a、128bを有する。一対の仕切り部128a、128bは、互いに離間しており、間に保持部材180が配置される収容空間128cを形成する。そのため、収容部128は、保持部材180がモータ部144とギアヘッド部145との連結部に付着してギアードモータ141の内部に侵入することを抑制できる。 As shown in FIG. 11, the accommodating portion 128 faces the motor portion 144 and is separated from the connecting portion between the motor portion 144 and the gear head portion 145 in a state where the gear head portion 145 is in contact with the gear head supporting portion 127. It has a pair of partition portions 128a and 128b provided in the above. The pair of partition portions 128a and 128b are separated from each other to form an accommodation space 128c in which the holding member 180 is arranged. Therefore, the accommodating portion 128 can prevent the holding member 180 from adhering to the connecting portion between the motor portion 144 and the gear head portion 145 and invading the inside of the geared motor 141.
 各仕切り部128a、128bにおいてモータ部144に対向する面(上面)は、ギアヘッド部145がギアヘッド支持部127に当接した状態で、モータ部144の外周面との間に隙間G1を形成する。図10および図11に示すように、保持部材180は、隙間G1を埋める(充填する)ように配置されている。そのため、保持部材180は、ギアヘッド部145の軸心S2に対してモータ部144の軸心S1が倣った位置にモータ部144を好適に保持できる。ただし、保持部材は、隙間G1の全てを埋めるように配置されていなくてもよい。 The surface (upper surface) of the partition portions 128a and 128b facing the motor portion 144 forms a gap G1 with the outer peripheral surface of the motor portion 144 in a state where the gear head portion 145 is in contact with the gear head support portion 127. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the holding member 180 is arranged so as to fill (fill) the gap G1. Therefore, the holding member 180 can suitably hold the motor portion 144 at a position where the axial center S1 of the motor portion 144 follows the axial center S2 of the gear head portion 145. However, the holding member may not be arranged so as to fill the entire gap G1.
 なお、ハウジング120のギアードモータ141の周辺の構造は上記に限定されない。例えば、ハウジング120は、枠部126や収容部128を有していなくてもよい。 The structure around the geared motor 141 of the housing 120 is not limited to the above. For example, the housing 120 may not have a frame portion 126 or a housing portion 128.
 次に、図12A~図12Dを参照して、ギアードモータ141のハウジング120への取り付け方法について説明する。 Next, a method of attaching the geared motor 141 to the housing 120 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12A to 12D.
 まず、ギアードモータ141およびハウジング120が準備される。 First, the geared motor 141 and the housing 120 are prepared.
 次に、図12Aおよび図12Bに示すように、シャーシ122の一対の仕切り部128a、128bの間の収容空間128cおよび各仕切り部128a、128bの上面に、未硬化状態の保持部材180が配置される。 Next, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the holding member 180 in the uncured state is arranged on the accommodation space 128c between the pair of partition portions 128a and 128b of the chassis 122 and the upper surface of each of the partition portions 128a and 128b. To.
 次に、図12Cに示すように、シャーシ122の枠部126内にギアードモータ141が配置される。 Next, as shown in FIG. 12C, the geared motor 141 is arranged in the frame portion 126 of the chassis 122.
 次に、図12Dに示すように、固定部材170をシャーシ122に固定する。この際、シャーシ122のギアヘッド支持部127は、ギアヘッド部145に当接している。また、未硬化状態の保持部材180は、ギアヘッド部145とモータ部144との相対的な位置関係を維持するように、モータ部144の位置に応じて変形する。そのため、モータ部144は、ギアヘッド部145の軸心S2に対してモータ部144の軸心S1が倣った位置に配置される。なお、変形に伴い、未硬化状態の保持部材180の一部は、枠部126とモータ部144との間のG2(図10参照)から逃げてもよい。 Next, as shown in FIG. 12D, the fixing member 170 is fixed to the chassis 122. At this time, the gear head support portion 127 of the chassis 122 is in contact with the gear head portion 145. Further, the holding member 180 in the uncured state is deformed according to the position of the motor portion 144 so as to maintain the relative positional relationship between the gear head portion 145 and the motor portion 144. Therefore, the motor portion 144 is arranged at a position where the axial center S1 of the motor portion 144 follows the axial center S2 of the gear head portion 145. With the deformation, a part of the holding member 180 in the uncured state may escape from G2 (see FIG. 10) between the frame portion 126 and the motor portion 144.
 保持部材180は、ギアヘッド部145の軸心S2に対してモータ部144の軸心S1が倣った位置にモータ部144を保持した状態で、硬化状態に移行する。そのため、保持部材180は、モータ部144の軸心S1とギアヘッド部145の軸心S2とがアライメントされた状態を保持しつつ、モータ部144をシャーシ122に固定できる。 The holding member 180 shifts to a cured state while holding the motor portion 144 at a position where the axial center S1 of the motor portion 144 follows the axial center S2 of the gear head portion 145. Therefore, the holding member 180 can fix the motor portion 144 to the chassis 122 while maintaining a state in which the axial center S1 of the motor portion 144 and the axial center S2 of the gear head portion 145 are aligned.

The chemical solution container 110 is filled with the chemical solution. The pusher 130 pushes out the chemical solution in the chemical solution container 110. The geared motor 141 includes a motor unit 144 and a gear head unit 145 connected to the motor unit 144, and generates a driving force for driving the pusher 130. The housing 120 houses the geared motor 141. The fixing member 170 fixes the gear head portion 145 to the housing 120. The holding member 180 is hardened in a state of being arranged in the gap between the motor portion 144 and the housing 120, and the motor is positioned at a position where the axial center S1 of the motor portion 144 follows the axial center S2 of the gear head portion 145.

 また、ハウジング120は、モータ部144とギアヘッド部145との連結部から離間し、かつ、モータ部144に対向する位置に、保持部材180を収容する収容部128を備える。そのため、収容部128は、保持部材180がモータ部144とギアヘッド部145との連結部に付着してギアードモータ141の内部に侵入することを抑制できる。 Further, the housing 120 includes an accommodating portion 128 accommodating the holding member 180 at a position separated from the connecting portion between the motor portion 144 and the gear head portion 145 and facing the motor portion 144. Therefore, the accommodating portion 128 can prevent the holding member 180 from adhering to the connecting portion between the motor portion 144 and the gear head portion 145 and invading the inside of the geared motor 141.
 また、固定部材170は、ギアヘッド部145をハウジング120に押し付けた状態で、ハウジング120に固定されている。そのため、固定部材170は、ギアヘッド部145の位置ずれを効果的に抑制できる。 Further, the fixing member 170 is fixed to the housing 120 in a state where the gear head portion 145 is pressed against the housing 120. Therefore, the fixing member 170 can effectively suppress the misalignment of the gear head portion 145.
 また、ギアヘッド部145の外面には、突起145eが形成されており、固定部材170は、ギアヘッド部145と対向する面に、突起145eが配置される溝部171aを有する。そのため、固定部材170は、ギア側ケース145cが回転することを抑制できる。 Further, a protrusion 145e is formed on the outer surface of the gear head portion 145, and the fixing member 170 has a groove portion 171a on which the protrusion 145e is arranged on a surface facing the gear head portion 145. Therefore, the fixing member 170 can suppress the rotation of the gear side case 145c.
 また、固定部材170は、バネ性を備える材料によって形成されている。そのため、固定部材170は、落下等の衝撃がギアヘッド部145に伝わることを抑制できる。 Further, the fixing member 170 is formed of a material having a spring property. Therefore, the fixing member 170 can suppress the impact such as dropping from being transmitted to the gear head portion 145.
 また、保持部材180は、ハウジング120とモータ部144との間の隙間において硬化した接着材である。そのため、保持部材180は、モータ部144およびハウジング120の両方に接着することで、モータ部144をハウジングに対して好適に保持できる。 Further, the holding member 180 is an adhesive material hardened in the gap between the housing 120 and the motor portion 144. Therefore, the holding member 180 can suitably hold the motor portion 144 with respect to the housing by adhering to both the motor portion 144 and the housing 120.
