Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electromotive actuator with limit switches and pushbuttons for the zero setting of a daily distance counter in a motor vehicle, consisting essentially of a housing and a motor mounted therein, which drives a worm wheel via a worm, which in turn has an eccentric and a tappet is in operative connection with the zero setting.
  • Such an actuator is known from DE-A-34 05 950. It performs all functions satisfactorily. In the limit switch provided there, however, it is considered disadvantageous that it takes up too much of the space available at the installation site, given its comparatively minor importance. In addition, it was structurally too complex for series production and also unacceptable in terms of price, because it was almost as expensive as the actuator motor.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to overcome the shortcomings of the known actuator, but in particular to show a possibility of realizing a much more cost-effective limit switch in the generic actuator.
  • a further development of the invention is that the sliding contacts are arranged on a sheet metal part designed as a leaf spring, which includes the flattened shaft of the wheel and rests on the wheel with surfaces lying between the sliding contacts.
  • This development represents a particularly simple form of sliding contacts, which in particular contributes to the inexpensive assembly of the actuator according to the invention.
  • the eccentric is designed like a crank.
  • a motor 1 drives a wheel, also not shown, via a gear, not shown, which is provided with a contact device 2.
  • the contact device 2 has two sliding contacts and connects an inner slip ring 3 with an outer slip ring 4 or 5. Details of the configuration of the contact device 2 are explained in connection with FIG. 2.
  • the outer slip ring is divided into a longer section 4 and a shorter section 5.
  • the slip rings are arranged as conductor tracks on an insulating plate. They can therefore be manufactured in an extremely inexpensive manner using known methods for producing printed circuits. They are preferably made of copper and are coated with a more noble metal to prevent oxidation.
  • the contact device 2 connects the inner slip ring 3 to the section 5 of the outer slip ring and thus short-circuits the motor 1 via the lines 6, 7 and 8 and the normally closed contact 9 of a pushbutton switch 10.
  • the longer section 4 of the outer slip ring is connected to the one pole 11 of a voltage source, not shown.
  • the motor is connected to the inner slip ring and to the other pole 12 of the voltage source.
  • the motor In the position of the contact device 2 shown, the motor is short-circuited, as already mentioned above, and is therefore at a standstill. By pressing the pushbutton switch 10, this short circuit is canceled by disconnecting the normally closed contact 9 and the pole 11 of the voltage source is connected to the motor via the normally open contact 13. The motor 1 thus starts up. After a short time, the contact arrangement 2 has reached a position in which it connects the inner slip ring and the longer section 4 of the outer slip ring to one another, so that the pushbutton switch 10 can be released and the motor runs until the position shown is reached again.
  • Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through a second embodiment in which the motor 1 and the other moving parts are mounted in a housing 15.
  • a worm 17, which engages in a worm wheel 18, is arranged on the motor shaft 16.
  • the plunger 21 is guided in the housing part 22 and is connected to the zeroing element of a daily distance counter. The latter is known per se and need not be explained in connection with the invention.
  • a connector plug 23 is provided for the electrical connections to the voltage source and to the pushbutton switch 10 (FIG. 1).
  • a contact spring 25 is plugged onto the flattened shaft 24 of the worm wheel 18, which is shown enlarged in FIG. 2a for the sake of clarity.
  • a cutout in the contact spring shaped in accordance with the cross section of the axis 24 secures the contact spring 25 against rotation relative to the worm wheel 18 and the eccentric 19. With the surfaces 26 and 27, the contact spring 25 rests on the surface of the eccentric 19.
  • the parts 28 and 29 of the contact spring 25 are bent away from the surface of the eccentric 19 and carry the sliding contacts 30 and 31, which are arranged at different distances from the axis according to the radii of the slip rings.
  • the sliding contacts 30 and 31 touch with appropriate pressure circular conductor tracks, which are not shown in FIG. 2 for the sake of clarity, but correspond to those shown in FIG. 1.
  • the third embodiment is shown in Fig. 3 as a cross section.
  • a motor 1 drives a worm wheel 18 via a worm 17.
  • the shaft 33 of the worm wheel 18 is formed on one side by appropriately enlarging the diameter and arrangement of a pin 34 as a crank.
  • Sliding contacts 35, 36 are arranged on a correspondingly designed contact spring 37 on the other side of the worm wheel 18.
  • both contacts are arranged on the same side of the shaft 33.
  • this is irrelevant to the function of the invention, since the inner slip ring comprises a full circle.
  • the position of the grinder 36 is therefore arbitrary.
  • the housing 38 also shows a housing 38 and a printed circuit board 14 which carries the conductor tracks 3 and 4 and 5, respectively.
  • the housing 38 comprises a run-up bead 39 which causes the worm wheel 18 to be guided in the axial direction.
