Abstract

Bekannte Stellvorrichtungen weisen zur Kontaktierung eines Motors, eines Steckers oder einer Regelelektronik miteinander Leiterbahnen auf, die mit den entsprechenden Gegenkontakten verschweißt werden oder als entsprechende Steckkontakte ausgeführt sind. Derartige Stellvorrichtungen in einem Antriebsmotor sowie einem nachfolgenden Getriebe, welches im Gehäuse angeordnet ist und durch einen Deckel verschlossen wird, sind allgemein bekannt.Known adjusting devices have for contacting a motor, a plug or a control electronics interconnected strip conductors, which are welded to the corresponding mating contacts or designed as corresponding plug contacts. Such adjusting devices in a drive motor and a subsequent transmission, which is arranged in the housing and is closed by a lid, are well known.

Erfindungsgemäß wird nun vorgeschlagen, die Leiterbahnen (19) als Stanzgitter (21) auszuführen und mit dem Kunststoff eines Deckels (22) zu umspritzen. Des Weiteren können die entgegengesetzten Enden der Leiterbahnen ebenfalls von einem Kunststoff des Gehäuses (1) umspritzt werden. Zwischen den beiden Gehäuseteilen (1, 22) angeordnete, nicht umspritzte Abschnitte (23) der Leiterbahnen (19) dienen erfindungsgemäß als Scharnier zum definierten Auf- und Zuklappen des Deckels (22) relativ zum Gehäuse (1). Des Weiteren ist die gesamte Regelelektronik (20) mit Drehwinkelsensor (18) und Leistungstransistoren im Deckel (22) durch Umspritzen integriert.

Figure imgaf001
According to the invention, it is now proposed to make the printed conductors (19) as stamped grid (21) and to overmold with the plastic of a lid (22). Furthermore, the opposite ends of the conductor tracks can likewise be encapsulated by a plastic of the housing (1). Between the two housing parts (1, 22) arranged, non-overmolded portions (23) of the conductor tracks (19) serve according to the invention as a hinge for defined opening and closing of the lid (22) relative to the housing (1). Furthermore, the entire control electronics (20) with rotation angle sensor (18) and power transistors in the cover (22) integrated by encapsulation.
