AI Technical Summary
Existing electrical power supply devices for motorized drive systems, such as those used in occultation devices, lack the ability to adjust the length of the electrical power supply cable between the housing and the electromechanical actuator, leading to inflexible installation and potential stress on the cable clamp.
The proposed electrical power supply device features a cable clamp with offset orifices that allow for adjustable positioning of the electrical power supply cable. In a pressed position, the cable is wedged in place, while in a tilted position, the cable can be slid through the orifices for adjustment, ensuring secure fixation without the need for internal housing intervention.
This solution enables flexible adjustment of the electrical power supply cable length on either side of the cable clamp, ensuring robust fixation and avoiding significant stress on the cable clamp, thus enhancing the installation flexibility and reliability of the motorized drive system.

Title of the invention: Electrical power supply device, motorized drive device comprising such an electrical power supply device, and associated occulting device
[0001] The present invention relates to an electrical energy supply device.
[0002] The present invention also relates to a motorized drive device comprising such an electrical power supply device, as well as a concealment device comprising such a motorized drive device.
[0003] Generally, the present invention relates to the field of occultation devices comprising a motorized drive device moving a screen, between at least a first position and at least a second position.
[0004] A motorized drive device comprises an electromechanical actuator of a movable closing, concealing or sun protection element, such as a shutter, a door, a grille, a blind or any other equivalent material, hereinafter called a screen.
[0005] Document EP 3 588 772 A1 is already known, which describes an electrical power supply device. The electrical power supply device comprises a housing, an electrical power supply cable and a cable clamp. The cable clamp cooperates with the electrical power supply cable. The cable clamp is integral with the housing. Here, the cable clamp is fixed to an electrical connection device by means of two fixing screws screwed respectively into a screw barrel of the electrical connection device. And the electrical connection device is fixed to a support of the housing by means of two other fixing screws screwed respectively into a screw barrel of the housing. The electrical power supply cable electrically connects the electrical power supply device, by means of the electrical connection device, to an electromechanical actuator. This electrical power supply device is generally satisfactory.
[0006] However, this electrical power supply device has the disadvantage that a length of the electrical power supply cable between the housing support and the electromechanical actuator is not adjustable by means of the cable clamp, since electrical wires of the electrical power supply cable are blocked by a tab and the fixing screws of the cable clamp, without being able to allow sliding of the electrical power supply cable through the cable clamp when electrically connecting the electrical wires of the electrical power supply cable to the electrical connection device provided in the housing support.
[0007] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose an electrical power supply device, a motorized drive device comprising such an electrical power supply device, as well as a concealment device comprising such a motorized drive device, making it possible to adjust a length of an electrical power supply cable on either side of a cable clamp, then to hold the electrical power supply cable in position relative to a housing.
[0008] In this regard, the present invention aims, according to a first aspect, at an electrical energy supply device,
[0009] the electrical energy supply device comprising at least:
[0010] -a housing,
[0011] - an electrical power cable, and
[0012] - a cable clamp, the cable clamp cooperating with the electrical power cable, the cable clamp being secured to the housing, by means of a first fixing screw.
[0013] According to the invention, the cable clamp comprises at least a first orifice for passing the electrical power cable, the first orifice having a first geometric center. The housing comprises at least a second orifice for passing the electrical power cable, the second orifice having a second geometric center.In a pressed position of the cable clamp against the housing, in which the first fixing screw is screwed to keep the cable clamp pressed against the housing, the first geometric center of the first orifice is offset relative to the second geometric center of the second orifice, in an axial direction passing through the first and second geometric centers, so that the electrical power cable is held in position by wedging by means of at least a portion of a first peripheral surface of the first passage orifice and at least a portion of a second peripheral surface of the second passage orifice.Furthermore, in a tilted position of the cable clamp relative to the housing, in which the first fixing screw is at least partially unscrewed, the power supply cable is released relative to the cable clamp and the housing, so that the power supply cable can be slid through the first and second holes.
[0014] Thus, the construction of the electrical power supply device makes it possible to adjust a length of the electrical power supply cable on either side of the cable clamp, then to maintain in position, in other words to block, the electrical power supply cable relative to the housing.
[0015] In this way, the operations of adjusting and maintaining the position of the electrical power supply cable relative to the housing can be implemented by an installer when commissioning the electrical power supply device.
[0016] Furthermore, the operation of adjusting the power supply cable relative to the housing is implemented without having to intervene inside the housing, so as to avoid the risk of damage to one or more internal organs of the housing.
[0017] Furthermore, clamping the power supply cable by means of the first and second holes allows the length of the power supply cable to be adjusted as desired on each side of the cable clamp, without being limited by a device for indexing the power supply cable relative to the cable clamp.
[0018] Maintaining the electrical power cable in position in the pressed position of the cable clamp against the housing, obtained by screwing in the first fixing screw, thus ensures robust fixing.
[0019] The offset of the first and second orifices contributes, on the one hand, to the wedging of the electrical power supply cable in the pressed position of the cable clamp against the housing and, on the other hand, to the sliding of the electrical power supply cable through the first and second orifices in the tilted position of the cable clamp relative to the housing.
[0020] In the pressed position of the cable clamp relative to the housing, the wedging of the electrical power cable between the cable clamp and the housing is ensured by said at least part of the first and second surfaces of the first and second holes.
[0021] In the tilted position of the cable clamp relative to the housing, the offset of the first and second holes makes it possible to avoid clamping the electrical power cable over a significant length thereof and, consequently, generating significant stress on the cable clamp.
[0022] The tilted position of the cable clamp relative to the housing is a position where the cable clamp is held relative to the housing, without the cable clamp being pressed against the housing.
[0023] The tilted position of the cable clamp relative to the housing is a position for adjusting the length of the power supply cable on either side of the cable clamp. The adjustment of the length of the power supply cable on either side of the cable clamp is implemented by exerting traction on the power supply cable, in a first direction relative to the housing or in a second direction relative to the housing, the second direction being opposite the first direction.
[0024] When the first fixing screw is at least partially unscrewed, the cable clamp can be moved away from the housing from the pressed position to the tilted position.
[0025] In this way, the power supply cable is freed from the jamming caused by the first and second holes in the plated position.
[0026] When the first fixing screw is screwed in, the cable clamp is moved closer to the housing from the tilted position to the pressed position, so as to pinch the power supply cable until it is trapped by means of the first and second holes.
[0027] Furthermore, the construction of the electrical power supply device makes it possible to ensure, during the adjustment operation, that a tensile force is exerted on the electrical power supply cable which is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold force value. Furthermore, the construction of the electrical power supply device makes it possible to ensure, following the position-holding operation, that it can withstand a tensile force on the electrical power supply cable which is less than or equal to a second predetermined threshold force value.
[0028] According to an advantageous characteristic of the invention, the cable clamp further comprises a projecting element, the projecting element extending along a portion of the circumference of the first orifice. Furthermore, in the pressed position of the cable clamp against the housing, a portion of the projecting element is arranged inside the second orifice.
[0029] According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the housing comprises at least:
[0030] - a body, and
[0031] - a first end piece, the first end piece being assembled on the body or being one-piece with the body.
[0032] The cable clamp is assembled on the first end piece. Further, the body comprises at least one cavity, the cavity being configured to accommodate a portion of the electrical power cable.
[0033] According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the body further comprises at least one first screw barrel. The first end piece comprises at least one first through hole. The cable clamp comprises at least one second through hole. Furthermore, the first fixing screw is housed inside the first and second through holes and is screwed into the first screw barrel, at least in the pressed position of the cable clamp against the housing.
[0034] According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, in the tilted position of the cable clamp relative to the housing, the first fixing screw is partially unscrewed, while remaining screwed into the first screw barrel.
[0035] According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the first end piece comprises at least one lug. The cable clamp further comprises at least one cavity. Furthermore, the lug is housed inside the cavity, in the pressed position of the cable clamp against the housing and in the tilted position of the cable clamp relative to the housing.
[0036] According to another advantageous characteristic of the invention, the first end piece is fixed to the body of the housing, by means of a second fixing screw.
[0037] The present invention aims, according to a second aspect, at a motorized drive device,

[0039] - an electromechanical actuator,
[0040] - an electronic control unit, and

[0254] Furthermore, in a tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, as illustrated in Figures 7 and 11, in which the first fixing screw 50 is at less partially unscrewed, the power supply cable 18 is released relative to the cable clamp 49 and the housing 48, so that the power supply cable 18 can be slid through the first and second holes 51, 52.
[0255] Thus, the construction of the electrical power supply device 31 makes it possible to adjust a length of the electrical power supply cable 18 on either side of the cable clamp 49, then to maintain in position, in other words to block, the electrical power supply cable 18 relative to the housing 48.
[0256] In this way, the operations of adjusting and maintaining the position of the electrical power supply cable 18 relative to the housing 48 can be implemented by an installer when commissioning the electrical power supply device 31.
[0257] Furthermore, the operation of adjusting the electrical power supply cable 18 relative to the housing 48 is implemented without having to intervene inside the housing 48, so as to avoid a risk of damage to one or more internal organs of the housing 48.
[0258] Furthermore, the clamping of the electrical power cable 18 by means of the first and second orifices 51, 52 makes it possible to adjust the length of the electrical power cable 18 in a desired manner on each side of the cable clamp 49, without being limited by a device for indexing the electrical power cable 18 relative to the cable clamp 49.
[0259] Maintaining the electrical power supply cable 18 in position in the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 against the housing 48, obtained by screwing in the first fixing screw 50, thus makes it possible to guarantee robust fixing.
[0260] The offset of the first and second central axes A51, A52 of the first and second orifices 51, 52 contributes, on the one hand, to the wedging of the electrical power supply cable 18 in the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 against the housing 48 and, on the other hand, to the sliding of the electrical power supply cable 18 through the first and second orifices 51, 52 in the tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48.
[0261] In the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the jamming of the electrical power supply cable 18 between the cable clamp 49 and the housing 48 is guaranteed by said at least part of the first and second surfaces S51, S52 of the first and second orifices 51, 52.
[0262] In this way, in the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the power supply cable 18 is clamped by said at least one part of the first peripheral surface S51 of the first passage orifice 51 and by said at least one part of the second peripheral surface S52 of the second passage orifice 52, given that the first and second geometric centers C51, C52 of the first and second orifices 51, 52 are offset, according to the axial direction D passing through the first and second geometric centers C51, C52.
[0263] In the tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the offset of the first and second orifices 51, 52 makes it possible to avoid clamping the electrical power supply cable 18 over a significant length thereof and, consequently, generating significant stress on the cable clamp 49.
[0264] The tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48 is a position where the cable clamp 49 is held relative to the housing 48, without the cable clamp 49 being pressed against the housing 48.
[0265] The tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48 is a position for adjusting the length of the electrical power supply cable 18 on either side of the cable clamp 49. The adjustment of the length of the electrical power supply cable 18 on either side of the cable clamp 49 is implemented by exerting traction on the electrical power supply cable 18, in a first direction F1 relative to the housing 48 or in a second F2 relative to the housing 48, the second direction F2 being opposite the first direction F1.
[0266] In this way, in the tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the electrical power cable 18 is released, so as to be able to slide inside the first and second orifices 51, 52, in particular by being able to use the entire recess defined by the first and second surfaces S51, S52 of the first and second orifices 51, 52.
[0267] When the first fixing screw 50 is at least partially unscrewed, the cable clamp 49 can be moved away from the housing 48 from the pressed position to the tilted position.
[0268] In this way, the power supply cable 18 is freed from the jamming caused by the first and second orifices 51, 52 in the pressed position.
[0269] When the first fixing screw 50 is screwed in, the cable clamp 49 is brought closer to the housing 48 from the tilted position to the pressed position, so as to pinch the power supply cable 18 until it is wedged by means of the first and second holes 51, 52.
[0270] Furthermore, the construction of the electrical power supply device 31 makes it possible to ensure, during the adjustment operation, that a tensile force is exerted on the electrical power supply cable 18 which is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold force value. Furthermore, the construction of the electrical power supply device 31 makes it possible to ensure, following the position-holding operation, that it can withstand a tensile force on the electrical power supply cable 18 which is less than or equal to a second predetermined threshold force value.
[0271] Advantageously, the second predetermined threshold force value is strictly greater than the first predetermined threshold force value.
[0272] By way of non-limiting example, the first predetermined threshold value of effort is of the order of ten Newtons and the second predetermined threshold value of force is of the order of thirty-five Newtons.
[0273] Adjusting the length of the electrical power supply cable 18 between the electromechanical actuator 11 and the housing 48 also makes it possible to take into consideration the orientation of the housing 48 and, more particularly, of the photovoltaic panel 25, in particular horizontal or vertical relative to the ground, in the case where the latter is fixed to the housing 48.
[0274] Advantageously, in the case where the photovoltaic panel 25 is fixed on the housing 48, the electrical power supply cable 18 is inserted through the first orifice 51 of the cable clamp 49 and the second orifice 52 of the housing 48 before the latter is electrically connected to the photovoltaic panel 25.
[0275] Advantageously, in the case where the photovoltaic panel 25 is fixed to the housing 48, the electrical connection between the electrical power supply cable 18 and the photovoltaic panel 25 is implemented by welding electrical wires 18a of the electrical power supply cable 18 with electrical tracks, not shown, of the photovoltaic panel 25.
[0276] Advantageously, the photovoltaic panel 25 comprises a front face 25a and a rear face 25b. The rear face 25b is opposite the front face 25a.
[0277] Here, the photovoltaic panel 25 is fixed, in other words is configured to be fixed, on the housing 48 by means of fixing elements 69, in particular in the assembled configuration of the electrical energy supply device 31.
[0278] Here, the fixing elements 69 are elastic snap-fastening elements, in particular eight in number.
[0279] The number and type of fixing elements of the photovoltaic panel on the housing are not limiting and may be different. The number of fixing elements may be greater than or equal to two and the type of fixing elements may be, for example, by screwing, by gluing, by fitting.
[0280] Advantageously, following the operation of adjusting the electrical power supply cable 18 relative to the housing 48, a portion of the electrical power supply cable 18 is arranged along the rear face 25b of the photovoltaic panel 25, as visible in FIGS. 5 to 7.
[0281] Here, the first orifice 51 has a first value of an inner diameter 051. Furthermore, the second orifice 52 has a second value of an inner diameter 052.
[0282] Advantageously, the first internal diameter value 051 of the first orifice 51 is equal to the second internal diameter value 052 of the second orifice 52.
[0283] Here, the electrical power supply cable 18 has a circular section.
[0284] Advantageously, the electrical power supply cable 18 has a third value of an outer diameter 018. The third outer diameter value 018 of the power supply cable 18 is less than or equal to the first inner diameter value 051 of the first orifice 51 and to the second inner diameter value 052 of the second orifice 52.
[0285] Thus, maintaining the position of the electrical power supply cable 18 in the pressed position, obtained by the offset of the first and second geometric centers C51, C52 of the first and second orifices 51, 52, in the axial direction D, is compatible with the third external diameter value 018 of the electrical power supply cable 18 included in a range of values defined by a minimum value and by a maximum value.
[0286] By way of non-limiting example, the first value of the inner diameter 051 of the first orifice 51 is of the order of 4.4 millimeters. The second value of the inner diameter 052 of the second orifice 52 is of the order of 4 millimeters. In addition, the third value of the outer diameter 018 of the electrical power cable 18 is of the order of 3.5 millimeters. In this case, the value of the offset A51-52 is of the order of one to two millimeters.
[0287] Advantageously, the cable clamp 49 further comprises a projecting element 53. The projecting element 53 extends along a portion of the circumference of the first orifice 51. Furthermore, in the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 against the housing 48, a portion of the projecting element 53 is arranged inside the second orifice 52.
[0288] Thus, the projecting element 53 of the cable clamp 49 makes it possible to increase the wedging surface of the electrical power cable 18, in other words the pressure surface on the electrical power cable 18, by means of the first and second orifices 51, 52.
[0289] The protruding element 53 may also be referred to as a prominent element or a protrusion.
[0290] Here, the projecting element 53 has a tongue shape.
[0291] Advantageously, the projecting element 53 comprises a third surface S53.
[0292] Here, the third surface S53 has a concave shape, in particular of circular section, the diameter of which is defined relative to a central axis identical to the first central axis A51 of the first orifice 51.
[0293] Advantageously, the third surface S53 of the projecting element 53 is the extension, in the direction of the first central axis A51, of a part of the first peripheral surface S51 of the first passage orifice 51.
[0294] Advantageously, the value of the diameter of the concave shape of the third surface S53 is equal to the first internal diameter value 051 of the first orifice 51.
[0295] In the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the blocking of the electrical power cable 18 between the cable clamp 49 and the housing 48 is guaranteed by the third surface S53 of the protruding element 53 and said at least a portion of the second surface S52 of the second orifice 52.
[0296] In this way, in the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the power supply cable 18 is blocked by the third surface S53 of the projecting element 53 and by said at least a part of the second peripheral surface S52 of the second passage orifice 52, given that the central axis of the third surface 53 of the projecting element 53, which is identical to the first central axis A51 of the first orifice 51, and the second central axis A52 of the second orifice 52 are offset, according to the axial direction D passing through the first and second geometric centers C51, C52.
[0297] Advantageously, the projecting element 53 comprises, in particular at its free end, a protrusion 70, in other words a prominence, relative to the third surface S53.
[0298] Thus, in the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the protrusion 70 of the projecting element 53 makes it possible to hold the electrical power supply cable 18 in position, like a harpoon.
[0299] Advantageously, the protrusion 70 also has a concave shape, in particular of circular section, the diameter of which is defined relative to a central axis identical to the first central axis A51 of the first orifice 51. Furthermore, the value of the diameter of the concave shape of the protrusion 70 is strictly less than the value of the diameter of the concave shape of the third surface S53.
[0300] Advantageously, the housing 48 comprises at least one body 54 and a first end piece 55. The first end piece 55 is assembled on the body 54. The cable clamp 49 is assembled on the first end piece 55.
[0301] Here, the second orifice 52 is provided in the first end piece 55 of the housing 48.
[0302] Thus, the cable clamp 49 makes it possible to adjust a length of the electrical power supply cable 48 between the electromechanical actuator 11 and the first end piece 55, as a function of a distance separating the electromechanical actuator 11 and the first end piece 55.
[0303] Advantageously, the cable clamp 49 further comprises at least one first flat surface S49. The housing 48, in particular the first end piece 55, comprises a second flat surface S55. Furthermore, in the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 against the housing 48, the first flat surface S49 bears against the second flat surface S55.
[0304] Advantageously, the body 54 comprises at least one cavity 56. The cavity 56 is configured to house, in other words houses, a portion of the electrical power supply cable 18.
[0305] Thus, the construction of the electrical power supply device 31 makes it possible to store a portion of the electrical power supply cable 18 inside the cavity 56 of the body 54 of the housing 48, so as to limit a length of a portion of the electrical power supply cable 18 located outside the housing 48, which is not necessary for the electrical connection of the electrical power supply cable 18 to the electromechanical actuator 11.
[0306] In this way, the storage of a part of the electrical power supply cable 18 inside the cavity 56 of the body 54 of the housing 48 makes it possible to avoid an anchoring point of the electrical power supply cable 18 relative to a wall of the building B, in particular the wall M or a ceiling, if the length of the electrical power supply cable 18 between the first end piece 55 and the electromechanical actuator 11 is less than or equal to a predetermined distance threshold value.
[0307] Furthermore, the construction of the electrical power supply device 31 allows a portion of the electrical power cable 18 to be hidden inside the cavity 56 of the body 54 of the housing 48, so as to improve the aesthetics of the electrical power supply device 31.
[0308] Here and as illustrated in [Fig. 10], the housing 48 further comprises a cover 68. The cover 68 is mounted, in other words is configured to be mounted, on the body 54, in particular in an assembled configuration of the electrical power supply device 31. Furthermore, the cavity 56 of the body 54 is closed, in other words is configured to be closed, by the cover 68, in particular in the assembled configuration of the electrical power supply device 31.
[0309] Advantageously, the body 54 further comprises at least one first screw barrel 57. The first end piece 55 comprises at least one first through hole 58. The cable clamp 49 comprises at least one second through hole 59, the central axis of which is denoted A59. Furthermore, the first fixing screw 50 is housed inside the first and second through holes 58, 59 and is screwed into the first screw barrel 57, at least in the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 against the housing 48.
[0310] Advantageously, in the tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, as illustrated in [Fig.7], the first fixing screw 50 is partially unscrewed, while remaining screwed into the first screw barrel 57.
[0311] In other words, in the tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the thread of the first fixing screw 50 is engaged with the tapping of the first screw barrel 57.
[0312] Thus, in the tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the first fixing screw 50 is not completely unscrewed, so that the cable clamp 49 is retained relative to the housing 48.
[0313] In this way, in the tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48, the cable clamp 49 remains assembled with the housing 48.
[0314] Furthermore, the incomplete unscrewing of the first fixing screw 50 in the tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48 makes it possible, on the one hand, to prevent the removal of one of the members of the electrical energy supply device 31 and, on the other hand, to keep the cable clamp 49 held on the housing 48.
[0315] Advantageously, the second passage hole 59 of the cable clamp 49 is provided close to the first orifice 51 of the cable clamp 49.
[0316] Thus, the small distance between the second passage hole 59 and the first orifice 51 of the cable clamp 49 makes it possible to guarantee a minimum force for holding the electrical power supply cable 18 in position relative to the housing 48.
[0317] Advantageously, the cable clamp 49 has a first end 49a and a second end 49b. The second end 49b is opposite the first end 49a.
[0318] Advantageously, the second passage hole 59 is provided near the first end 49a of the cable clamp 49.
[0319] Advantageously, the first end piece 55 comprises at least one lug 60. The cable clamp 49 further comprises at least one cavity 61. Furthermore, the lug 60 is housed inside the cavity 61, in the pressed position of the cable clamp 49 against the housing 48 and in the tilted position of the cable clamp 49 relative to the housing 48.
[0320] Thus, the cable clamp 49 is configured to be moved, in other words is moved, relative to the first end piece 55, when the first fixing screw 50 is unscrewed, in particular relative to the first screw barrel 57 formed in the body 54 of the housing 48, from the pressed position to the tilted position by a movement, in particular rotation, of the cavity 61 around the lug 60.
[0321] Here and as illustrated in Figures 6 to 9 and 11, the cavity 61 of the first end piece 55 is produced in the form of a shoulder.
[0322] Advantageously, the movement of the cable clamp 49 relative to the first end piece 55 is implemented by a finger of the installer, by exerting traction on the cable clamp 49, in particular in the direction of the arrow F49 in [Fig.8] at the first end 49a thereof.
[0323] Advantageously, the cavity 61 of the cable clamp 49 is provided near the second end 49b of the cable clamp 49.
[0324] Advantageously, the first end piece 55 is fixed to the body 54 of the housing 48, by means of a second fixing screw 62.

The first end piece 55 further comprises at least one third passage hole 64, the central axis of which is noted A64.

[0326] Advantageously, the second fixing screw 62 is identical to the first fixing screw 50.
[0327] Advantageously, the housing 48 further comprises a second end piece 65.

[0331] Advantageously, the two other fixing screws 66 are identical to the first and second fixing screws 50, 62.
[0332] Advantageously, the screwing and unscrewing of the first fixing screw 50, of the second fixing screw 62, as well as of the other fixing screws 66, is implemented by means of a tool, such as, for example, a T screwdriver.
[0333] Here, the body 54 of the housing 48 is a profile.
[0334] Advantageously, the body 54 of the housing 48 is made of a metallic material, which may be, for example, aluminum.
[0335] Thanks to the present invention, the construction of the electrical power supply device 31 makes it possible to adjust a length of the electrical power supply cable on either side of the cable clamp, then to maintain in position, in other words to block, the electrical power supply cable relative to the housing.
[0336] Numerous modifications can be made to the embodiments described above, without departing from the scope of the invention.

In this way, the housing of the electronic control unit 15 makes it possible to electrically isolate the first electronic card 15a from the casing 17. Advantageously, the outside diameter of the housing of the electronic control unit 15 is less than the inside diameter of the casing 17, so that the housing can be inserted into the casing 17, during the assembly of the electromechanical actuator 11.In a first case, the housing of the electronic control unit 15 may comprise two half-shells configured to cooperate together, in particular in the assembled configuration of the electronic control unit. control 15.
