Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a side-opening door actuator, and more particularly to an electric side-opening door actuator. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, as users have increasingly higher requirements for the intelligence and safety of car side-opening doors, the application of electric actuators in car side-opening doors is becoming more and more widespread. The motor, as the driving component of the electric actuator, plays a core role and greatly affects the user experience.
[0003] The motors used in existing electric side-opening door actuators on the market are mainly brushed motors. These motors achieve commutation and continuous rotation through mechanical contact between a commutator and brushes. The friction caused by this mechanical contact results in high noise levels, high energy loss, and a reduced lifespan for brushed motors during operation. Furthermore, brushed motors cannot precisely control parameters such as speed and torque, leading to inaccurate and unstable control over opening speed and angle during operation.

The slider is sleeved on the lead screw, and a lead screw nut is provided on the slider. The lead screw nut meshes with the teeth on the lead screw, converting the rotational torque of the lead screw into the linear motion of the slider. A push rod is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slider, and the end of the push rod is connected to a bracket for connecting to a car door.
[0006] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the controller is further connected via a connector provided on the brushless motor, and the connector is integrally formed with the end cap on the brushless motor.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, this brushless motor-driven electric side-opening door actuator replaces the brushed motor with a brushless motor, employing electronic commutation technology. It uses Hall effect sensors to detect the rotor's magnetic pole position in real time, converting the position signal into an electrical signal to provide to the controller and generate control command signals. This enables more precise and stable control of the electric actuator's start / stop, commutation, speed, and torque. Furthermore, because the brushless motor avoids mechanical friction commutation, it generates almost no mechanical friction noise during operation, reduces electromagnetic interference caused by sparks from mechanical friction, reduces wear, improves efficiency, and extends the motor's lifespan.
[0017] The specific structure is as follows: Figure 1-3As shown in the figure, the controller 4 is connected to the brushless motor 6. The front end of the brushless motor 6 is provided with a worm gear 7, which is connected to the electric drive unit inside the brushless motor 6. The front end of the worm gear 7 is connected to the actuator, which includes a gear 8, a lead screw 9, and a slider 10. The gear 8 is connected to one end of the lead screw 9 and meshes with the worm gear 7. The slider 10 is sleeved on the lead screw 9, and the slider 10 is provided with a lead screw nut 11. The lead screw nut 11 meshes with the teeth on the lead screw 9 to convert the rotational torque of the lead screw 9 into the linear motion of the slider 10. The upper end of the slider 10 is fixedly connected to a push rod 2, and the end of the push rod 2 is connected to a bracket 3 for connecting to a car door.
[0018] The controller 4 is connected to the connector 5 on the brushless motor 6, and the connector 5 is integrally formed with the end cap on the brushless motor 6.

[0021] The working principle is as follows: After being powered on, the brushless motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The worm gear on the motor shaft generates rotational torque. Gear 8 meshes with worm 7 and rotates with worm 7. Lead screw 9 rotates axially through its fixed connection with gear 8. The lead screw nut meshes with the teeth on the lead screw, converting the rotational torque into linear motion. The slider assembly is fixed to the lead screw nut and push rod. The push rod is connected to the bracket, and the bracket is connected to the car side door. The lead screw nut drives the slider assembly to move linearly, and the push rod and bracket reciprocate linearly with the slider assembly, realizing the electric control of the electric side door.
