Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The invention relates to an actuating drive, which is known from the prior art and practice in different embodiments. BACKGROUND

[0002] The actuating drive usually has an actuating drive housing in which at least one functional element of the actuating drive, for example an actuating drive mechanical functional element, is arranged. The actuating drive mechanical functional element can be, for example, a drive motor and / or a transmission. The actuating drive is used in particular for operating a fitting and / or a valve.

[0003] The actuating drive housing of the actuating drive known from practice is usually made of cast aluminum and / or gray cast iron. The actuating drive housing is thus usually very robust and can well protect the functional elements arranged therein from external influences. The known actuating drive housing is also able to absorb forces acting on the actuating drive in operation due to its robustness. These advantageous properties are, however, associated with a certain expense in the manufacture of the actuating drive housing. The assembly, maintenance and / or replacement of the functional elements arranged inside the actuating drive housing is often difficult due to the construction of the actuating drive housing. SUMMARY

[0004] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an actuating drive of the type mentioned at the outset, which is simplified in manufacture and operation.

[0005] In order to achieve the object, an actuating drive having the features and means according to the invention is first proposed. In order to achieve the object, an actuating drive having an actuating drive housing comprising at least one preferably pot-shaped actuating drive housing part is thus in particular proposed, wherein the actuating drive has at least one component carrier arranged inside the actuating drive housing, which bears at least one functional element of the actuating drive, in particular an actuating drive mechanical functional element, and to which the at least one actuating drive housing part is fastened.

[0006] In adjustment drives known to date, the functional elements arranged inside the adjustment drive housing are not only protected by the adjustment drive housing, but are also supported by the adjustment drive housing. In the adjustment drive according to the application, a component carrier is provided, which supports at least one functional element of the adjustment drive. In this way, it is possible to assemble at least one functional element of the adjustment drive, for example a drive motor and / or a transmission, on the component carrier, and then to insert it into the at least one preferably pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part. This simplifies the assembly and, if necessary, also the replacement or repair or maintenance of at least one functional element arranged on the component carrier, which is surrounded by the adjustment drive housing in its position of use and can only be accessed there with difficulty.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the adjustment drive, the adjustment drive housing has two corresponding pot-shaped adjustment drive housing parts. After the at least one functional element of the adjustment drive has been assembled on the component carrier, the component carrier, together with the at least one adjustment drive mechanical element arranged thereon, can first be inserted into one pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part. The adjustment drive housing can then be closed by mounting at least one further pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part and the component carrier, together with the at least one functional element arranged thereon, can be enclosed.

[0008] The component carrier thus functions as an internal holding structure for the at least one functional element and, after the adjustment drive housing has been closed, also for the at least one adjustment drive housing part arranged on the component carrier.

[0009] In the adjustment drive according to the application, the support function is no longer assumed by the adjustment drive housing, but by the component carrier arranged therein. The adjustment drive housing, in particular the at least one preferably pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part, can thus be designed more simply, for example with lower material outlay.

[0010] To achieve the object, an adjustment drive having the features and the mechanism according to the application is also proposed. To achieve the object, in particular an adjustment drive is thus proposed, in which at least one preferably pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part of the adjustment drive housing of the adjustment drive is made of a thin-walled material having a material thickness of at most 4 mm, in particular at most 2 mm. It is also possible for at least one adjustment drive housing part of the adjustment drive housing to be made of sheet metal, in particular of stainless steel sheet. It is also possible for at least one adjustment drive housing part of the adjustment drive housing of the adjustment drive to be made of plastic. In particular the adjustment drive housing part made of plastic can have a material thickness, which can also be referred to as wall thickness, of at most 4 mm.

[0011] In this way, an adjustment drive is achieved which has an adjustment drive housing which can be produced simply and in particular cost-effectively.

[0012] According to an embodiment of the adjustment drive, the advantageous features are combined with one another.

[0013] In the previously mentioned embodiment of the adjustment drive, it is provided that the component carrier or the further component carrier has a fastening flange, on which at least one adjustment drive housing part of the adjustment drive housing is fastened. In this way, the component carrier can also be used as a support structure for at least one component of the adjustment drive housing.

[0014] In the adjustment drive housing comprising at least two adjustment drive housing parts, it is possible to provide that the component carrier has a fastening flange, on which at least two adjustment drive housing parts of the adjustment drive housing are fastened.

[0015] In order to be able to seal the connection between the fastening flange and the at least one adjustment drive housing part, it can be appropriate to provide a seal, in particular an O-ring, between the fastening flange and the at least one adjustment drive housing part. In the case of a plurality of adjustment drive housing parts connected to the fastening flange of the component carrier, such a seal, in particular an O-ring, can be provided between each of the adjustment drive housing parts and the fastening flange, respectively.

[0016] It is furthermore possible that the component carrier is arranged on, in particular fastened to, a pot bottom of an adjustment drive housing part, for example of the previously mentioned adjustment drive housing part, of the adjustment drive housing.

[0017] The component carrier of the adjustment drive can also constitute and / or have a support for a driven shaft of the adjustment drive. In this way, it is possible to dispense with the use of a separate support for supporting the driven shaft inside the adjustment drive housing. This can also simplify the structure of the adjustment drive housing.

[0018] In one embodiment of the adjustment drive, it is provided that, as a mechanical component of the adjustment drive, a drive motor of the adjustment drive is supported and / or arranged on the component carrier. The drive motor of the adjustment drive can in particular be supported with its motor housing and / or arranged on the component carrier. It is also possible that the at least one adjustment drive housing part is not loaded with respect to a drive torque generated by the drive motor mentioned earlier, for example. The component carrier can thus be not only a support structure of the adjustment drive, but also a force transmission structure thereof. The at least one adjustment drive housing part can thus be kept unloaded to the greatest extent and can thus be logically constructed particularly compactly. This facilitates simple and low-cost manufacture of the at least one adjustment drive housing part.

[0019] The component carrier of the adjustment drive can pass through the adjustment drive housing. The component carrier can thus project from the adjustment drive housing. In this case, the component carrier can in particular have a mounting interface on the section thereof projecting from the adjustment drive housing for accessories and / or for a subsequent transmission. In this way, it is possible for a connection between the adjustment drive and a subsequent transmission or an accessory to be established directly via the component carrier serving as a support structure and for the adjustment drive housing to be kept unloaded to the greatest extent. This also facilitates a design structure of the at least one adjustment drive housing part of the adjustment drive that is as compact as possible. The at least one component carrier of the adjustment drive can be configured as an electronics carrier. The at least one component carrier of the adjustment drive can be configured as a motor carrier. It is also possible for the adjustment drive to have a component carrier that is configured as an electronics carrier, as a carrier for a mechanical functional element of the adjustment drive and / or as a motor carrier.

[0020] An electronics component, in particular a control circuit board of the adjustment drive, can be arranged on the electronics carrier. The motor carrier can be used to receive a drive motor of the adjustment drive, provided that this drive motor of the adjustment drive is not arranged on the component carrier. The electronics carrier and also the motor carrier can be arranged inside the adjustment drive housing. Likewise, the electronics carrier and / or the motor carrier can be arranged on and / or connected with the component carrier.

[0021] The component carrier can serve as a base for a further carrier of a functional unit of the adjustment drive, whereas the further functional unit, such as a drive motor and / or an electronics component of the adjustment drive, does not have to be held by the adjustment drive housing. In the case of the use of a separate motor carrier that can be connected with the component carrier, it is possible for only one or several transmission stages of the adjustment drive to be arranged on the component carrier, for example.

[0022] The adjustment drive can also have, for example, an axial compensation element for at least one adjustment drive mechanical element of the adjustment drive. The axial compensation element can be provided or designed on the component carrier, for example. An axial spring can be used as the axial compensation element. With the aid of the at least one axial compensation element, over-determination when the adjustment drive housing is closed can be avoided. Furthermore, manufacturing or fitting tolerances of elements provided inside the adjustment drive housing can be balanced with the aid of the at least one axial compensation element.

[0023] As functional elements, adjustment drive mechanical elements such as drive trains, gear trains, gear mechanisms and / or drive motors of the adjustment drive can be provided.

[0024] It is mentioned here that the at least one component carrier can be designed in multiple parts. It is also possible for the component carrier to be connected to at least one adjustment drive housing part of the adjustment drive housing of the adjustment drive at at least two axially spaced-apart locations.

[0025] The component carrier, for example the electronic system carrier already mentioned previously, can be provided at least partially across the interface of at least two adjustment drive housing parts. A separate electronic system carrier can in this case be provided on the component carrier of the adjustment drive as already mentioned previously. It is thus possible for the electronic system carrier to be accessible to a user of the adjustment drive when one of the at least two adjustment drive housing parts is removed from the at least one further adjustment drive housing part. The electronic system of the adjustment drive provided on the electronic system carrier can thus be adjusted when the adjustment drive housing is open without having to remove the component carrier from the further adjustment drive housing part. In this way, one of the adjustment drive housing parts can also function as a shield or cover, which can be removed from the further adjustment drive housing part if the electronic system of the adjustment drive is to be accessed.

[0026] The at least one, for example the at least one, component carrier can at least axially pass through the at least one adjustment drive housing part and constitute a flange face for a fitting flange. It is thus possible for the adjustment drive to be fastened to a fitting flange via the flange face provided on the component carrier. Since force introduction takes place via the component carrier in this case, the adjustment drive housing can also be loaded to the greatest possible extent.

[0027] The adjustment drive housing can be sealed with a seal, in particular an O-ring. The seal can in this case be arranged along the circumferential line, in particular the circumferential line can be formed by a bend of a preferably pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part of the adjustment drive. In this way the seal can be fixed particularly reliably on the at least one adjustment drive housing part. If the adjustment drive housing part is removed, the seal remains fixed on the component carrier, whereby it can be avoided that the seal is lost accidentally or handled separately.

[0028] Preferably, the at least one pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part is made of a thin-walled material. This facilitates the manufacture of the pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part, for example by deep-drawing.

[0029] In an adjustment drive housing comprising at least two adjustment drive housing parts, the at least two adjustment drive housing parts can be connected to one another and / or to the at least one component carrier, in particular to a fastening flange thereof, by means of at least one clamping element. By means of the at least one clamping element it is possible to connect the adjustment drive housing parts of the adjustment drive housing to one another in a simple manner. Depending on the configuration of the at least one clamping element, this can even be achieved without tools. As clamping element a clamping lock can be used.

[0030] The at least one adjustment drive housing part can have a flange. By means of the flange it is possible to connect the at least one adjustment drive housing part to a component carrier. In an adjustment drive housing comprising at least two adjustment drive housing parts it can be expedient that the two adjustment drive housing parts each have a flange. In this way it is possible to connect the two adjustment drive housing parts to a component carrier of the adjustment drive. To this end the flanges of the two adjustment drive housing parts can be connected, for example, to a fastening flange of the component carrier.

[0031] One flange / a plurality of flanges can each have at least one edge-side open slot for accommodating a clamping screw of a clamping element. By means of the at least one clamping element, for example by means of a clamping lock, it is possible to connect the at least one adjustment drive housing part to a component carrier and / or to connect the at least two adjustment drive housing parts to one another and / or to a component carrier of the adjustment drive.

[0032] The previously mentioned clamping element can comprise a holding clip, a circular nut held with the holding clip and a clamping screw. The circular nut can be rotatable in the holding clip here in order to move the clamping screw into a clamping position. With the holding clip, the clamping element can be arranged on the at least one adjustment drive housing part. It can be advantageous for this purpose that at least one adjustment drive housing part of the adjustment drive housing has a holding projection and / or a holding bead for the holding clip. The holding projection and / or the holding bead for the holding clip can be configured here, for example, on the previously mentioned flange of the adjustment drive housing part.

[0033] The holding clip can also have a preferably central recess. It is thus possible for the circular nut together with the clamping screw to be moved inside the holding clip between an open position and, for example, the previously mentioned clamping position. For this purpose, it is not necessary to remove the holding clip from the at least one adjustment drive housing part. In the clamping position, the clamping screw can not only be passed through a slit on one adjustment drive housing part but also through a slit on the other adjustment drive housing part and / or through a slit on the previously mentioned fastening flange of the adjustment drive. After clamping of the clamping element, in particular of the clamping screw, a form-locked and / or force-locked connection can be established between the at least one adjustment drive housing part, the further adjustment drive housing part and / or the previously mentioned component carrier of the adjustment drive.

[0034] In order to achieve the object, an adjustment drive is also proposed which has advantageous means and features. In order to achieve the object, it is in particular proposed that the adjustment drive housing, for example the previously mentioned adjustment drive housing, of the adjustment drive has an assembly window for passing through a connection cable from the interior of the adjustment drive housing.

[0035] The assembly window can preferably be configured in one adjustment drive housing part of the adjustment drive housing. With the assembly window, it is possible to significantly simplify the electrical connection of the adjustment drive. With a larger assembly window, it is possible to lead the connection cable out of the interior of the adjustment drive housing without great difficulty.

[0036] The adjustment drive can have a closure partition which comprises at least one cable passage for a connection cable and with which the assembly window can be closed and / or has been closed after assembly of the adjustment drive. Once the at least one connection cable can have been led outwards through the assembly window, the connection cable can be led through the cable passage of the closure partition and the assembly window can then be closed with the closure partition.

[0037] It can be advantageous if the closure partition can be released from the outside and / or can be completely removed. It is thus possible to remove the closure partition from the outside more simply without having to open the adjustment drive housing for this purpose. This can significantly simplify the handling of the electrical connections and electrical connection cables of the adjustment drive.

[0038] The closure partition has at least one vent hole and / or exhaust hole. In this way, an exchange of the interior of the adjustment drive housing with the surroundings can be achieved. Thus, for example, moisture can escape from the interior of the adjustment drive housing. The vent hole and / or exhaust hole can be provided with a pressure equalization element which is air- and / or vapor-permeable, but not water- permeable. In this way, air, in particular moist air, can pass through the vent hole and / or exhaust hole, while liquid water cannot pass through the vent hole and / or exhaust hole.

[0039] The at least one cable passage of the closure partition can be configured as a cable screw connection. In another embodiment, the at least one cable passage of the closure partition can be configured as a plug connection. In this way, different connection possibilities for establishing the electrical connection of the adjustment drive are provided.

[0040] In an embodiment of the adjustment drive, the adjustment drive housing can have a housing box on the outside. The housing box can surround the assembly window mentioned earlier, for example, on the outside. The housing box can be used to accommodate functional elements of the adjustment drive which cannot be arranged inside the adjustment drive housing due to the given spatial circumstances. Inside the housing box, in particular, the electrical and / or electronic functional elements of the adjustment drive can be arranged spatially separated from the interior of the adjustment drive housing.

[0054] Each of the shown adjustment drives 1 has an adjustment drive housing 2 which comprises a lower, pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part 3 and an upper, pot-shaped adjustment drive housing part 4. In the shown embodiment of the adjustment drive 1, two component carriers 5 and 6 are arranged inside the adjustment drive housing 2. Said component carriers 5 and 6 serve to support the functional elements of the adjustment drive 1, namely the drive motor 26 and the transmission 27. From the principle sketch of Figure 13 the arrangement of the drive motor 26 on the upper component carrier 6 and the arrangement of the transmission 27 between the component carriers 5 and 6 can be seen.

[0055] On the upper component carrier 6 of the two component carriers 5 and 6, not only the drive motor 26 of the adjustment drive 1 is arranged, but also the two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4. The drive motor 26 of the adjustment drive 1 as well as the two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4 are fastened on the upper component carrier 6.

[0056] The two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4 are made of thin-walled material having a material thickness of at most 4 mm, preferably at most 2 mm. Depending on the requirements, the two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4 can here be made of sheet metal, for example stainless steel, or of plastic. The upper component carrier 6 of the two component carriers 5 and 6 has a fastening flange 7. On the fastening flange 7, the two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4 of the adjustment drive housing 2 are fastened. Between the fastening flange 7 and said two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4, a sealing, for example an O-ring, is arranged, by means of which the closed adjustment drive housing 2 is sealed off, for example against moisture.

[0057] The lower component carrier 5 is arranged on the pot bottom 8 of the lower adjustment drive housing part 3.

[0058] At least the lower component carrier 5 of the two component carriers 5 and 6 constitutes a bearing 9 for a driven shaft of the adjustment drive 1, which is not shown in the figures. The drive motor 26 of the adjustment drive 1 is supported on the upper component carrier 6 with its motor housing. The support of the drive motor 26 of the adjustment drive 1 is designed in such a way that the two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4 remain unloaded with regard to the drive torque generated by the drive motor 26.

[0059] The lower component carrier 5 of the two component carriers 5 and 6 passes through the adjustment drive housing 2. To this end, said lower adjustment drive housing part 3 has an opening 10, which can be seen particularly clearly in Figure 4 The lower component carrier 5 has a mounting interface 11 for accessories and / or subsequent transmissions on the section thereof which projects out of the adjustment drive housing 2. The upper component carrier 6 is not only configured as a motor carrier, but also as an electronics system carrier.

[0060] Figure 2 The sectional view shows that the upper component carrier 6 is connected to the lower component carrier 5 via an adjustment element 12. The adjustment element 12 serves to enable adjustment of the not shown limiting stop of the adjustment drive 1 without having to remove the lower component carrier 5 from the lower adjustment drive housing part 3. Removing the upper adjustment drive housing part 4 from the lower adjustment drive housing part 3 is sufficient for adjustment. Figure 2 The view from the front shows that the operating end of the adjustment element 12 is thereby accessible to the user of the adjustment drive.

[0061] The upper component carrier 6 has an axial compensation element 13. This axial compensation element 13 is shown in Figure 12 as a separate component and can also be seen in the principle sketch in Figure 13 . Said axial compensation element 13 comprises three elastic spring leaves 28 which allow axial compensation or axial displacement of components arranged on the axial compensation element 13, here the transmission 27, inside the adjustment drive housing 2. According to Figure 12 , one of the spring leaves 28 is provided with a sensor 29. The sensor 29 can detect a deformation and / or movement of the axial compensation element 13 or of the spring leaves 28. From said deformation or movement a force and / or a moment and / or a torque applied can be derived.

[0062] The upper component carrier 6 is arranged at least partially across the interface of the two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4. Thus, when the upper adjustment drive housing part 4 is removed from the lower adjustment drive housing part 3, i.e. the adjustment drive housing 2 is opened, the component carrier 6 and the functional elements arranged thereon are accessible.

[0063] As already set out before, the lower component carrier 5 axially penetrates the lower adjustment drive housing part 3. The lower component carrier 5 has a flange face for a fitting flange as a mounting interface 11 on the end side protruding from the lower adjustment drive housing part 3.

[0064] The adjustment drive housing 2 is sealed with a seal as already implemented before. Said seal comprises here at least two O-rings which are not shown in the drawing but are arranged between the two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4 and the fastening flange 7 of the upper component carrier 6. The seal can be arranged here along a surrounding line. Said surrounding line can be constituted here by the curvature of the correspondingly pot-shaped adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4.

[0065] The two adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4 are connected to each other and to the upper component carrier 6 by means of three clamping elements 14 in total, which are respectively configured as clamping locks. Figure 7One of the clamping elements 14 is shown separately. According to Figure 7 , the clamping element 14 has a holding clip 15, a circular nut 16 held with the holding clip 15, and a clamping screw 17. The circular nut 16 is held rotatably in the holding clip 15, so that the clamping screw 17 can be moved from a loosened position to its clamping position in which Figure 7 and 8 the clamping position shown.

[0066] Both adjustment drive housing parts 3 and 4 have one flange 18 each. The flanges 18 are each provided with a total of three slits 19 open on the edge side for accommodating the clamping screws 17 of the clamping elements 14. The lower adjustment drive housing part 3 is provided with a holding projection 20 for the holding clip 15 of the clamping element 14. The holding projection 20 is configured here on the flange 18 of the lower adjustment drive housing part 3. The holding clip 15 of the clamping element 14 is clamped in the holding projection 20. The holding projection 20 serves thereby for securing the holding clip 15 without loss on the lower adjustment drive housing part 3. The holding projection 20 can be constituted, for example, by a holding bead 20. The holding projection 20 can be clearly seen, for example, in Figure 8 .

[0067] Each of the holding clips 15 has a central recess 21. The recess 21 serves for moving the circular nut 16 together with the clamping screw 17 inside the respective holding clip 15 between the loosened position or open position and the clamping position.

[0068] The adjustment drive housing 2, here more precisely the lower adjustment drive housing part 3, of the adjustment drive 1 shown in the figures is equipped with a fitting window 22. The fitting window 22 serves for passing through a connection cable not shown in the figures from the inside of the adjustment drive housing 2 and thereby for simplifying the assembly of the adjustment drive 1 and for simplifying the cabling of functional elements provided inside the adjustment drive housing 2, in particular of the drive motor 26 of the adjustment drive 1.

[0069] The adjustment drive 1 is equipped with a closure partition 23 with which the respective fitting window 22 can be closed after the electrical connection of the adjustment drive 1 has been completed. The closure partition 23 shown in the figures has two cable passages 24 for the connection cables of the adjustment drive 1. Figure 10 and 11 The closure partition 23 is shown together with its two cable passages 24. The closure partition 23 can be loosened and completely removed from the outside in the otherwise closed adjustment drive housing 2.

[0070] According to Figure 10The closure partition 23 is equipped with a plurality of ventilation and / or exhaust openings 25. Via these ventilation and / or exhaust openings 25 an exchange between the interior of the actuating drive housing 2 and the ambient environment can be realized. On the inner side of the exhaust openings 25 pressure balancing elements are arranged, so that only air, in particular only humid air, can enter and exit, however no liquid water can enter and exit.

[0071] The two cable passages 24 present on the closure partition 23 are configured as cable screw connections.

[0072] The invention is directed to an improvement in the technical field of actuating drives. For this purpose an actuating drive 1 is proposed in particular, which has an actuating drive housing 2 with at least one actuating drive housing part 3 or 4. Inside the actuating drive housing 2 at least one component carrier 5 or 6 is arranged, which serves as a support structure for at least one functional element of the actuating drive. On the component carrier 5 or 6 the at least one actuating drive housing part 3 or 4 is also fastened.
