Description

[0001] The invention relates to actuators which are previously known in various embodiments from the prior art and practice.

[0002] Actuators typically have an actuator housing in which at least one functional element, for example, a mechanical actuator functional element of the actuator, is arranged. Mechanical actuator functional elements can be, for example, a drive motor and / or a gear. Actuators are used, among other things, to operate fittings and / or valves. Various embodiments of actuators are known, for example, from the publications DE 22 43 896 B, US 2003 / 0 089 871 A1, EP 0 279 043 A2, JP 2004-115 002 A, and DE 10 2011 075 706 A1.

[0003] From DE 102 59 582 A1 a valve device is known whose aim is to provide a valve which has a nearly linear flow-stroke characteristic curve, even if flow resistances such as fittings, coolers, instantaneous water heaters and the like are arranged in the flow direction.

[0004] The actuator housings of previously known actuators are generally made of cast aluminum and / or gray cast iron. This makes the actuator housings generally very stable and can effectively protect the functional elements contained within them from external influences. Due to their stability, the previously known actuator housings are also able to absorb the forces acting on the actuator during operation. However, these inherently advantageous properties are associated with a certain amount of effort in the manufacture of the actuator housings. The assembly, maintenance, and / or replacement of the functional elements located within the actuator housings is often comparatively difficult due to the design of the actuator housings.

[0005] The object of the invention is therefore to create actuators of the type mentioned at the outset, the manufacture and handling of which is simplified.

[0006] To achieve this object, an actuator with the means and features of the independent claim is proposed, which is directed to such an actuator. To achieve this object, an actuator with an actuator housing comprising at least one preferably pot-shaped actuator housing part is proposed, wherein the actuator has at least one component carrier arranged within the actuator housing, which carries at least one functional element of the actuator, in particular an actuator-mechanical functional element, and to which the at least one actuator housing part is fastened.

[0007] In the actuators previously known from practice, the functional elements arranged within the actuator housing are not only protected by the actuator housing, but are also supported by it. In the actuator according to the invention, the component carrier is provided which carries the at least one functional element of the actuator. In this way, it is possible to mount the at least one functional element, for example a drive motor and / or a gear of the actuator, on the component carrier before the latter is introduced into the at least one preferably pot-shaped actuator housing part. This facilitates assembly and, if necessary, also the replacement, repair, or maintenance of the at least one functional element arranged on the component carrier, which, in its position of use, is housed by the actuator housing and is inherently difficult to access there.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the actuator, the actuator housing comprises two pot-shaped actuator housing parts. After mounting the at least one functional element of the actuator on the component carrier, the component carrier with the at least one actuator-mechanical element arranged thereon can first be inserted into the one pot-shaped actuator housing part. Subsequently, the actuator housing can be closed by placing the at least one further pot-shaped actuator housing part on top, and the component carrier with the at least one functional element arranged thereon can be enclosed.

[0009] Thus, the component carrier acts as an internal holding structure for the at least one functional element and, after closing the actuator housing, also for the at least one actuator housing part arranged on the component carrier.

[0010] In the actuator according to the invention, the supporting function is no longer performed by the actuator housing, but rather by the component carrier arranged therein. Thus, the actuator housing, in particular the at least one preferably pot-shaped actuator housing part, can be designed more simply, for example, with less material expenditure.

[0011] Furthermore, it is proposed that at least one preferably pot-shaped actuator housing part of the actuator housing of the actuator be made of a thin-walled material with a material thickness of at most four millimeters, in particular of at most two millimeters. It is also possible for at least one actuator housing part of the actuator housing to consist of a metal sheet, in particular of a stainless steel sheet. It is also possible for at least one actuator housing part of the actuator housing of the actuator to consist of plastic. In particular, an actuator housing part made of plastic can have a material thickness, which can also be referred to as wall thickness, of at most four millimeters.

[0012] In this way, an actuator with an actuator housing is created that is simple and, above all, cost-effective to manufacture.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the actuator, it is provided that it combines the features of the first two claims directed to an actuator.

[0014] In one embodiment of the aforementioned actuator, the component carrier or another component carrier has a mounting flange to which the at least one actuator housing part of the actuator housing is attached. In this way, the component carrier can also be used as a support structure for at least part of the actuator housing.

[0015] In an actuator housing comprising at least two actuator housing parts, it can be provided that the component carrier has a fastening flange to which the at least two actuator housing parts of the actuator housing are fastened.

[0016] In order to seal a connection point between the mounting flange and the at least one actuator housing part, it may be expedient to arrange a seal, in particular an O-ring, between the mounting flange and the at least one actuator housing. If there are multiple actuator housing parts connected to the mounting flange of the component carrier, such a seal, in particular an O-ring, can be arranged between each of the actuator housing parts and the mounting flange.

[0017] Furthermore, it is possible for the component carrier to be arranged on a pot bottom of, for example, the actuator housing part of the actuator housing already mentioned, in particular to be fastened there.

[0018] The actuator component carrier can also form and / or include a bearing for an output shaft of the actuator. This eliminates the need for a separate bearing for supporting the output shaft within the actuator housing. This can also simplify the design of the actuator housing.

[0019] In one embodiment of the actuator, it is provided that a drive motor of the actuator is supported and / or arranged on the component carrier as the actuator-mechanical element. The drive motor of the actuator can be supported and / or arranged on the component carrier, in particular with its motor housing. Furthermore, it is possible for the at least one actuator housing part to be unloaded with respect to a drive torque developed by a drive motor, for example the aforementioned drive motor. The component carrier can thus be not only a supporting but also a force-conducting structure of the actuator. The at least one actuator housing part can thus remain largely unloaded and consequently have a comparatively delicate design. This promotes simple and cost-effective production of the at least one actuator housing part.

[0020] The component carrier of the actuator extends through the actuator housing. This allows the component carrier to protrude from the actuator housing. The component carrier has a mounting interface for a valve and / or for a follower gear on the section protruding from the actuator housing. This makes it possible to establish a connection between the actuator and a follower gear or a valve directly via the component carrier, which serves as a supporting structure, and to largely avoid stressing the actuator housing. This also promotes the most delicate design possible for at least one actuator housing part of the actuator housing. At least one component carrier of the actuator can be designed as an electronics carrier. At least one component carrier of the actuator can be designed as a motor carrier.It is also possible for the actuator to have a component carrier which is designed as an electronics carrier, as a carrier for actuator mechanical functional elements of the actuator and / or as a motor carrier.

[0021] Electronic components, in particular a control board of the actuator, can be arranged on the electronics carrier. The motor carrier can serve to accommodate a drive motor of the actuator, provided the drive motor of the actuator is not arranged on the component carrier. Both the electronics carrier and the motor carrier can be arranged within the actuator housing. Likewise, the electronics carrier and / or the motor carrier can be arranged on the component carrier and / or attached to it and / or connected to it.

[0022] A component carrier can serve as a foundation for additional supports for the actuator's functional units, without the actuator housing having to support the other functional units, such as the drive motor and / or electronic components of the actuator. Using a separate motor carrier, which can be connected to the component carrier, it is possible to arrange, for example, only one or multiple gear stages of the actuator on the component carrier.

[0023] The actuator can further comprise an axial compensation element, for example, for at least one actuator-mechanical element of the actuator. The axial compensation element can be arranged or formed, for example, on the component carrier. An axial spring can serve as the axial compensation element. The at least one axial compensation element can be used to prevent over-determination when closing the actuator housing. Furthermore, the at least one axial compensation element can be used to compensate for manufacturing or fit tolerances of elements arranged within the actuator housing.

[0024] Actuator mechanical elements such as a drive train, a gear train, a gearbox and / or a drive motor of the actuator can be provided as functional elements.

[0025] At this point, it should be noted that the at least one component carrier can be constructed in multiple parts. Furthermore, it is possible for the component carrier to be connected to the at least one actuator housing part of the actuator housing of the actuator at at least two axially spaced locations.

[0026] As previously mentioned, a separate electronics carrier can be mounted on the actuator's component carrier. This allows adjustments to the actuator's electronics mounted on the electronics carrier when the actuator housing is open, without having to remove the component carrier from the other actuator housing section. In this way, one actuator housing section of the actuator housing can function as a cap or cover that can be removed from the other actuator housing section if necessary, should access to the actuator's electronics be required.

[0027] At least one component carrier, for example, can axially penetrate the at least one actuator housing part and form a flange surface for a valve flange. This makes it possible to attach the actuator to a valve flange via the flange surface formed on the component carrier. Since force is introduced via the component carrier, stress on the actuator housing can also be largely avoided.

[0028] The actuator housing can be sealed with a seal, in particular with an O-ring. The seal can be arranged along a circumferential line, in particular, wherein the circumferential line can be formed by a bend in a preferably pot-shaped actuator housing part of the actuator. In this way, the seal can be particularly reliably secured to the at least one actuator housing part. If the actuator housing part is removed, the seal remains fixed to the component carrier, thereby preventing accidental loss of the seal or its separate handling.

[0029] Preferably, at least one pot-shaped actuator housing part is made of thin-walled material. This facilitates the production of the pot-shaped actuator housing part, for example, by deep drawing.

[0030] In an actuator housing consisting of at least two actuator housing parts, the at least two actuator housing parts can be connected to one another and / or to the at least one component carrier, in particular to its fastening flange, by means of at least one clamping device. With the aid of the at least one clamping device, it is possible to connect the actuator housing parts of the actuator housing to one another in a comparatively simple manner. Depending on the design of the at least one clamping device, this can even be done without tools. A clamping lock can be used as the clamping device.

[0031] The at least one actuator housing part can have a flange. The flange makes it possible to connect the at least one actuator housing part to the component carrier. In an actuator housing that comprises at least two actuator housing parts, it can be expedient for both actuator housing parts to each have a flange. In this way, it is possible to connect both actuator housing parts to the component carrier of the actuator. For this purpose, the flanges of the two actuator housing parts can be connected, for example, to the mounting flange of the component carrier.

[0032] The flange(s) can each have at least one slot open at the edge for receiving a clamping screw of a clamping device. Using the at least one clamping device, for example, a clamping lock, the at least one actuator housing part can be connected to the component carrier and / or the at least two actuator housing parts can be connected to each other and / or to the component carrier of the actuator.

[0033] The aforementioned clamping means can comprise a retaining clip, a round nut held by the retaining clip, and a clamping screw. The round nut can be rotatable in the retaining clip in order to move the clamping screw into a clamping position. With the aid of the retaining clip, the clamping means can be arranged on the at least one actuator housing part. For this purpose, it can be advantageous if at least one actuator housing part of the actuator housing has a retaining bead and / or a retaining flange for the retaining clip. The retaining bead and / or the retaining flange for the retaining clip can be formed, for example, on a flange of the actuator housing part, for example on the previously mentioned flange.

[0034] The retaining clip can furthermore have a preferably central recess. This makes it possible to move the round nut with the clamping screw within the retaining clip between an open position and a clamped position, for example the previously mentioned. For this purpose, the retaining clip does not have to be removed from the at least one actuator housing part. In the clamped position, the clamping screw can penetrate both a slot on one actuator housing part and another slot on another actuator housing part and / or a slot on one, for example the previously mentioned fastening flange of the actuator. After clamping the clamping device, in particular the clamping screw, a positive and / or non-positive connection can be established between the at least one actuator housing part, another actuator housing part and / or the previously mentioned component carrier of the actuator.

[0035] Furthermore, the actuator housing of the actuator can have a mounting window for passing a connection cable from the interior of the actuator housing.

[0036] The mounting window can preferably be formed in a part of the actuator housing. The mounting window makes it possible to significantly simplify the electrical connection of the actuator. The comparatively large mounting window allows a connecting cable to be routed from the interior of the actuator housing without major difficulties.

[0037] The actuator can have a cover plate that includes at least one cable entry for a connecting cable and with which the mounting window can be closed and / or sealed after the actuator has been installed. Once the at least one connecting cable has been routed out through the mounting window, the connecting cable can be routed through the cable entry of the cover plate, and the mounting window can then be closed with the cover plate.

[0038] It can be advantageous if the cover plate can be released and / or completely removed from the outside. This allows the cover plate to be removed relatively easily from the outside without having to open the actuator housing. This can significantly simplify access to the electrical connection and the electrical connection cable of the actuator.

[0039] The cover plate can have at least one ventilation hole. This allows air to flow between the interior of the actuator housing and the environment. For example, air humidity can escape from the interior of the actuator housing to the outside. The ventilation hole can be provided with a pressure equalization element that is permeable to air and / or vapor, but impermeable to water. This allows air, especially moist air, to pass through the ventilation hole, while liquid water cannot pass through the ventilation hole.

[0040] The at least one cable feedthrough of the cover plate can be designed as a cable gland. In another embodiment, at least one cable feedthrough of the cover plate can be designed as a plug connection. This provides various connection options for establishing the electrical connection of the actuator.

[0041] In one embodiment of the actuator, the actuator housing can have an external housing box. The housing box can, for example, surround the previously mentioned mounting window on the outside. The housing box can serve to accommodate functional elements of the actuator that cannot be accommodated within the actuator housing due to limited space. Within the housing box, electrical and / or electronic functional elements of the actuator can be accommodated, spatially separated from the interior of the actuator housing.

[0042] Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in more detail below with reference to the figures. It should be noted that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown in the figures. Further exemplary embodiments of the invention result from a combination of the features of the claims directed to the actuators and / or from a combination of the features contained in the description and / or in the following description of the figures.

[0043] All figures show at least parts of an actuator designated as a whole by 1.

[0044] Each of the actuators 1 shown has an actuator housing 2, which comprises a lower pot-shaped actuator housing part 3 and an upper pot-shaped actuator housing part 4. In the exemplary embodiments of the actuators 1 shown in the figures, two component carriers 5 and 6 are arranged within the actuator housing 2. The component carriers 5 and 6 serve to carry functional elements, namely a drive motor 26 and a gear 27 of the actuator 1. From the schematic diagram of the Fig. 13 shows the arrangement of the drive motor 26 on the upper component carrier 6 and the arrangement of the gear 27 between the component carriers 5 and 6.

[0045] Not only the drive motor 26 of the actuator 1 but also both actuator housing parts 3 and 4 are arranged on the upper component carrier 6 of the two component carriers 5 and 6. Both the drive motor 26 of the actuator 1 and the two actuator housing parts 3 and 4 are fastened to the upper component carrier 6.

[0046] Both actuator housing parts 3 and 4 are made of a thin-walled material with a maximum material thickness of four millimeters, preferably two millimeters. Depending on requirements, the two actuator housing parts 3 and 4 can be made of sheet metal, for example stainless steel, or plastic. The upper component carrier 6 of the two component carriers 5 and 6 has a mounting flange 7. The two actuator housing parts 3 and 4 of the actuator housing 2 are attached to the mounting flange 7. A seal, for example an O-ring, is provided between the mounting flange 7 and the two actuator housing parts 3 and 4, with which the closed actuator housing 2 is sealed, for example, against the ingress of moisture.

[0047] The lower component carrier 5 is arranged on a pot bottom 8 of the lower actuator housing part 3.

[0048] At least the lower component carrier 5 of the two component carriers 5 and 6 forms a bearing 9 for an output shaft of the actuator 1, not shown in the figures. The drive motor 26 of the actuator 1 is supported with its motor housing on the upper component carrier 6. The support of the drive motor 26 of the actuator 1 is designed such that both actuator housing parts 3 and 4 remain unloaded with respect to a drive torque developed by the drive motor 26.

[0049] The lower component carrier 5 of the two component carriers 5 and 6 passes through the actuator housing 2. For this purpose, the lower actuator housing part 3 has a particularly well-integrated Fig. 4. The lower component carrier 5 has a mounting interface 11 for a valve and / or a follower gear on its section protruding from the actuator housing 2. The upper component carrier 6 is designed not only as a motor carrier but also as an electronics carrier.

[0050] The sectional view according to Fig. Figure 2 illustrates that the upper component carrier 6 is connected to the lower component carrier 5 via an adjusting element 12. The adjusting element 12 serves to adjust a limit stop of the actuator 1 (not shown in the figures) without having to remove the lower component carrier 5 from the lower actuator housing part 3. For adjustment, it is sufficient to remove the upper actuator housing part 4 from the lower actuator housing part 3. The illustration from Fig. 2 illustrates that this makes an actuating end of the actuating element 12 accessible to a user of the actuator.

[0051] The upper component carrier 6 has an axial compensation element 13. The axial compensation element 13 is a separate part in Fig. 12 and also in the schematic diagram of the Fig. 13. The axial compensation element 13 comprises three resilient tongues 28, which allow axial compensation or axial displacement of the components arranged on the axial compensation element 13, here the gear 27, within the actuator housing 2. According to Fig. 12, one of the tongues 28 is provided with a sensor 29. The sensor 29 can detect a deformation and / or movement of the axial compensating element 13 or the tongue 28. Applied forces and / or moments and / or torques can be derived from the deformation or movement.

[0052] The upper component carrier 6 is arranged at least partially beyond a dividing plane of the two actuator housing parts 3 and 4. Thus, the component carrier 6 and the functional elements arranged thereon are accessible when the upper actuator housing part 4 is removed from the lower actuator housing part 3, i.e., when the actuator housing 2 is opened.

[0053] As already explained above, the lower component carrier 5 extends axially through the lower actuator housing part 3. The lower component carrier 5 has a flange surface for a valve flange on a front side protruding from the lower actuator housing part 3, serving as a mounting interface 11.

[0054] As already explained above, the actuator housing 2 is sealed with a seal. The seal here comprises at least two O-rings, which are not shown in the figures but are arranged between the two actuator housing parts 3 and 4 and the mounting flange 7 of the upper component carrier 6. The seal can be arranged along a circumferential line. The circumferential line can be formed by a bend in the respective pot-shaped actuator housing parts 3 and 4.

[0055] The two actuator housing parts 3 and 4 are connected to each other and to the upper component carrier 6 by means of a total of three clamping devices 14, each of which is designed as a clamping lock. One of the clamping devices 14 is in Fig. 7 shown separately. According to Fig. 7, the clamping device 14 has a retaining clip 15, a round nut 16 held by the retaining clip 15 and a clamping screw 17. The round nut 16 is rotatably held in the retaining clip 15, so that the clamping screw 17 can be rotated from a released position into its Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 shown clamping position can be moved.

[0056] Both actuator housing parts 3 and 4 each have a flange 18. The flanges 18 are each provided with a total of three slots 19 open at the edge for receiving the clamping screws 17 of the clamping means 14. The lower actuator housing part 3 is provided with a retaining bead 20 for the retaining clips 15 of the clamping means 14. The retaining bead 20 is formed on the flange 18 of the lower actuator housing part 3. The retaining clips 15 of the clamping means 14 are clipped into the retaining bead 20. The retaining bead 20 thus serves to securely fasten the retaining clips 15 to the lower actuator housing part 3. The retaining bead 20 can, for example, be formed by a retaining flange 20. The retaining bead 20 is, for example, Fig. 8 can be clearly seen.

[0057] Each of the retaining clips 15 has a central recess 21. The recess 21 serves to move the round nut 16 with the clamping screw 17 within the respective retaining clip 15 between a release or open position and the clamping position.

[0058] The actuator housing 2 of the actuators 1 shown in the figures, more precisely the lower actuator housing part 3 of the two actuator housing parts 3 and 4, is equipped with a mounting window 22. The mounting window 22 serves to lead through a connecting cable (not shown in the figures) from the interior of the actuator housing 2, thus simplifying the assembly of the actuator 1 and the electrical wiring of the functional elements arranged within the actuator housing 2, in particular the drive motor 26 of the actuator 1.

[0059] The actuators 1 are equipped with a cover plate 23, with which the respective mounting window 22 can be closed after the electrical connection of the actuator 1 has been made. The cover plate 23 shown in the figures has two cable glands 24 for the connecting cable of the actuator 1. The Fig. 10 and Fig. 11 show the cover plate 23 with its two cable glands 24. The cover plate 23 can be loosened from the outside and completely removed when the actuator housing 2 is otherwise closed.

[0060] According to Fig.10, the closure panel 23 is equipped with several ventilation holes 25. The ventilation holes 25 allow air to flow between the interior of the actuator housing 2 and the environment. A pressure equalization element is arranged on the inside of the ventilation holes 25, allowing only air, in particular only moist air, but no liquid water to enter or exit.

[0061] The two cable glands 24 on the cover plate 23 are designed as cable glands.

[0062] The invention relates to improvements in the technical field of actuators. For this purpose, an actuator 1 is proposed, among other things, whose actuator housing 2 has at least one actuator housing part 3 or 4. Arranged within the actuator housing 2 is at least one component carrier 5 or 6, which serves as a support structure for at least one functional element of the actuator. Furthermore, the at least one actuator housing part 3 or 4 is attached to the component carrier 5 or 6.
