ABSTRACT:
A DC power supply, a DC motor driven by DC voltage outputted from the DC power supply, and a control unit outputting a drive control signal to drive the DC motor are provided. A motor drive switch is provided between the DC power supply and the DC motor, and a brake switch is connected to a positive input terminal of the DC motor. The motor drive switch is on while receiving the drive control signal and outputs an output current monitor signal while current is being applied to the motor drive switch. The brake switch is configured to operate faster than the motor drive switch and is off while at least one of the drive control signal and the output current monitor signal is on. Accordingly, when the drive control signal is supplied, the brake switch is turned off, and then the motor drive switch is turned on. When the supply of the drive control signal is stopped, it is not until the motor drive switch is turned off, the current applied to the motor drive switch is stopped, and then the supply of the output current monitor signal is stopped that the brake switch is turned on.
