- a force is built up between the crimp ring 11 and a crimping die 15 and the crimp ring 11 is moved in the direction of the crimping die 15 until the crimp ring 11 rests on an end stop 17 encompassed by the crimping device.
- the known from the prior art actuator has the disadvantage that a defined Membranverpressung between the cover 3 and housing 7 is not possible, since this is determined unpredictable exclusively by the Umlege- or crimping process of the housing edge or the flanging tab 13.
- the membrane compression in the flare composite is so undefined that, despite a defined flanged edge height or flanged flap height and defined travel path of the flanging ring 11, it can not be determined exactly in advance and can not be reproduced sufficiently in the manufacturing process of the actuator. For example, it may lead to a mispositioning of the membrane, as shown in Figure ld.
- the membrane compressions vary, so that an ideal compression is not reproducible adjustable.
- the membrane compression is different depending on the geometry of the flanging tab, the size of the material pairing cover / housing, the geometry of the flanging area or the respective material batches of the housing areas or the membrane.

All these parameters strongly influence the compression of the membrane by the bonding process, in particular a Umlegerati a housing edge during a flanging.
- connection method known from the prior art does not make it possible to control or overgrow the correct position of the membrane, in particular of a membrane area, such as a circumferential thickening or bulge, before, during and after the connection process.
- connection process known from the prior art necessitates the use of maintenance, work space and cost intensive and comparatively environmentally polluting hydraulic presses for driving the crimp ring, in order to build up sufficient forces for deformation of the crimping lug or for adequate membrane crimping.
- a servo motor for the pneumatic actuation of actuators in motor vehicles is known.
- This servomotor has a cup-shaped housing part and a second housing part. These can be connected to each other via a snap hook.
- a rubber membrane is placed and pressed between the housing parts.
- To align the housing parts together is in Area of a recess for receiving a sealing bead of the rubber membrane provided a centering.
- this compound also has the disadvantage that it can lead to excessive compression of the membrane and thus to an impairment of the structure of the membrane, which can lead to an immediate or a later cracking in the rubber membrane.

- the movement of the first housing element is effected by means of at least one hold-down device. It is also proposed with the invention that the force applied to the movement of the first housing element in the direction of the second housing element and / or the membrane is absorbed as a function of the path of this movement as an actual force-displacement characteristic.
- An inventive method may be characterized in particular by the fact that the evaluation of the actual force-displacement curve comprises a comparison of the actual force-displacement curve with at least one desired force-displacement curve and / or by the evaluation of the detection of a a predetermined position of a region of the membrane, such as a thickening, is achieved, in particular a detection is performed that the region of the membrane at least partially outside a desired range, in particular one, preferably at least partially limited by the first housing member and / or the second housing member, recess and / or between at least one clamping element and / or at least one first contact region on the one hand and the first housing element and / or the second housing element on the other hand.

- the holding-down device, the hemming device and / or the caulking device be formed in one area, in particular at least one common drive device, preferably at least one pneumatically and / or electromotively operating drive device.
- a device according to the invention may be characterized in that the sensing device and / or the evaluation device is / are at least partially encompassed by the hold-down device, the connecting device, in particular the flanging device and / or caulking device, and / or the drive device.
- the invention is thus based on the surprising finding that an abutment or abutment element for a first housing element is formed integrally in the actuator itself, in particular in a second housing element, this abutment element being arranged in a region of the second housing element is outside a range in which by means of a connecting device a Connecting force is constructed, a defined membrane compression between the first housing member and the second housing element can be achieved.
- connection portion does not cover the entire circumference of the first housing member, reliable monitoring of proper seating of the diaphragm or a diaphragm portion such as a diaphragm bead in the connecting portion can be achieved during the performance of a connection method or the second housing element so that a lower connection force has to be built up, drive devices in the form of pneumatic or electromotive drive devices or presses are used in the production of a connection by a flanging.
- a defined distance between these two housing elements is ensured, which in turn defines the compression of the membrane or of a region of the membrane, such as a membrane bead, in the clamping dressing or connection assembly. Due to the fact that the stop element is arranged outside the connection region, that is to say outside the region in which a connection force is built up directly via the connection device, impairment of the stop element, in particular deformation thereof, for example during the build-up of a force to achieve a bead, is achieved. avoided.
- a stop element in the context of the invention is thus understood in particular an element by means of which the first housing element and the second housing element are in contact when the housing elements are connected together, so that after the connection, a direct adhesion between the housing elements by the direct contact this is achieved in the region of the stop element.
- the crimp covering covers the entire circumference of the housing elements, that is, the connecting area extends over the entire circumference of the housing elements, such a defined membrane compression is not possible and beyond the construction of very high pressure forces necessary ,
- This construction of the actuator makes it possible in particular during a connection process in a first step in the second housing element, the membrane is arranged and then the first housing member is placed on the second housing member and the membrane that the first housing member at least partially with the membrane in Contact is coming. In a subsequent step, the first and the second housing element including the membrane are then compressed with a force-path monitored hold-down device until a fixed stop, that is a contact of the stop element of the second housing element with the first housing element.
- a deviation of the position of the membrane, in particular a membrane region, such as a Membranwulst detected become.
- the path characteristic is taken up from the point at which the membrane first comes into contact with the first housing element.
- the force-displacement characteristic of the hold-down movement of the first and second housing element is recorded and evaluated. This evaluation is carried out in particular by a comparison with a, in particular a 10-position of the membrane corresponding, desired characteristic.
- the membrane or the membrane region is arranged at at least one location outside the predetermined position, for example if the membrane or membrane bead is displaced in a radial direction of an axis of symmetry of the first housing element or of the second housing element, then from the first Contact between the diaphragm and the first housing element recorded an early, but slower increase in force because corresponding elements of the first housing element, such as a clamping element, although earlier come into contact with the membrane and so compared to a compression in a correct positioning of the membrane, which is referred to as the iO layer, after a shorter distance during the movement process between the first housing member and the second housing member, the membrane is pressed.
- This niO layer can also be detected in particular by the fact that a total path or a total distance increases up to a contact between the stop element and the first housing element.
- connection force is not built up in the region of the stop element, since the stop element is arranged outside the connection region, a change in the position of the membrane or a distance between the first housing element and the second housing element after reaching the hold-down position is avoided and so the defined position of the diaphragm, the first housing member and the second housing member is ensured relative to each other.
- connection area In that the area in which the stop element is arranged is recessed as the connection area, only lower connection forces must be built up.
- connection is achieved by a bead, is so that the area to be deformed of the second housing element lower, so that for such beading instead of very strong and thus costly presses, for example, hydraulic presses, more cost-effective, especially pneumatic or electromotive, presses can be used.
- both the hold-down device and the connecting device are driven by means of one and the same drive device, such as a pneumatic drive device or an electromotive drive device.
- a pneumatic drive device or an electromotive drive device such as a pneumatic drive device or an electromotive drive device.
- the hold-down process can then be ended and the actuator removed.
- the inspection of the seat of the membrane thus takes place during the manufacturing process, so that the cycle times can be increased in comparison to additional quality inspection steps.
- the second housing element has a "crown-like" profile of the outer circumference.This makes it possible for the depressions in the crown profile to form corresponding stop elements, while the tips of the crown profile form the flanged flaps.
- extensions formed on the outer circumference of the first housing element can then be received in order to achieve the defined position between the first housing element and the second housing element when holding down the first housing element, in particular to establish contact between the first housing element and the stop element ,
- the flanged tabs which are arranged in the region between the extensions on the circumference of the first housing element, can then be folded to achieve the flanging, in particular be folded around a radially outwardly extending edge region of the first housing element.
- the ratio of the width of the crown tips to the width of the stop elements is preferably less than 1: 1 in order to achieve the greatest possible reduction in the force necessary for the deformation or flanging.
- the stop element is arranged on a peripheral edge of the second housing element, whereby the influence of the structure of the connecting force, in particular during a flanging, is reduced to the stop element, in particular in comparison to a radially further inward in the housing element arranged stop element.
- this arrangement of the stop element reduces the space required for the connection space.
- a larger holding period is to be provided.
- the advantage of the inventive design of the actuator, the method and the device is, inter alia, that the risk that the membrane or a membrane region, such as a membrane bead, is not pressed correctly in a clamping area and thereby during operation of the Control can slip out, is minimized.
- the method according to the invention enables a 100% appointment of the niO layers.
- a spring installation space of a spring of the actuator and a total stroke of the actuator can be better defined already in the design phase, since the more accurate compression of the membrane is known.
- a better spring design and thus an improved characteristic calculation can be made possible.
- the individual parts used in the method according to the invention, in particular the first housing element, the second housing element and the membrane can finally be used in comparison to known from the prior art actuators, apart from the formation of the stop elements and adjustment of the tools without significant structural adjustment ,
- the actuator may be designed as a vacuum or overpressure actuator.
- FIGS. 1 a to 1 d show views of an actuator known from the prior art
- Figure 2 is a plan view of an actuator according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 shows a detailed view of the actuator of FIG. 2 according to the detail B;
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the section C of Figure 2.
- Figure 5 is a Kraftwegdiagramm, in the corresponding desired.
- FIG. 2 shows an actuator 101 or control box according to the invention, which comprises a first housing element in the form of a cover 103 and a second housing element in the form of a housing 107.
- the first housing element 103 has an axis of symmetry Si and the second housing element 107 has a second axis of symmetry S 2 .
- Both the cover 103 and the housing 107 are rotationally symmetrical to the symmetry axis Si or symmetry axis S 2 formed.
- the lid 103 and the housing 107 are connected to each other via a connecting device in the form of a flanging 105.
- FIG. 3 shows a detailed view of the flanging 105 according to the detail B in FIG. As can be seen in FIG.
- stop elements 11 are formed on the second housing element 107 in the area of the flange 105.
- the stop elements 111 are formed by depressions in a crown profile, wherein flanged tabs 113 are formed by the tips of the crown profile. Between the individual flanging tabs 113, extensions 115 of the first housing element 103 which are in direct contact with the stop elements 111 are arranged. After a successful connection of the first housing element 103 with the second housing element 107 by means of the connecting device formed by the bead, in particular the flanged lugs 113, there is a mechanical contact between the extensions 115 and the stop elements 111. As can be seen in particular FIG.
- the stop elements are 111 outside of a connecting portion 114, that is, outside a range in which a connecting force between the first housing member 103 and the second housing member 107 by the flanged tabs 113, in particular a deformation thereof, is constructed. This ensures that a defined distance between the first housing element 103 and the second housing element 107 is set, as described in more detail below.
- the extensions 115 extend in a radial direction with respect to the axis of symmetry Si or the axis of symmetry S 2, while the flanging tabs 113 extend along an axial direction of the symmetry axis Si and S 2 , in particular before a flanging.
- the stop elements 111 or the extensions 115 have a width bi, while the flanged straps 113 have a width b 2 .
- the ratio b 2 : bi is preferably less than 1: 1, particularly preferably 1: 2.
- the width bi may be 10 mm, while the width b 2 is 5 mm, for example, when the actuator 101 has a diameter of 100 mm.
- This ratio offers the advantage that comparatively small forces have to be built up for a deformation of the flanging tabs 113 during a beading, but at the same time the flanged tabs 113 have sufficient stability so as not to be deformed by unwanted external influences.
- FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the detail C of FIG. 2 from the direction R of FIG.
- a membrane 109 is clamped between the housing element 103 and the housing element 107.
- the actuator 101 is shown in Figure 4 in a state in which the membranes 109 has been inserted into the housing 107 and the housing member 103 from the position shown in dashed lines in Figure 4 by means of a hold-down device, not shown in the direction of the housing 107th or the membrane 109 has been moved in the position shown in solid lines in Figure 4 until the extension 115 rests on the stop member 111.
- the diaphragm 109 was clamped between the lid 103 and the housing 107, in particular between the housing 107 and a clamping member 117 which is formed on the lid 103.
- the membrane 109 is clamped in a membrane region in the form of a membrane bead 119 between the cover 103 and the housing 107, more precisely in a region of a recess 121 which is formed in the form of an undercut in the cover 103 and the clamping element 117 and the Stop element 111 is limited.
- the position and the geometry of the depression 121 are precisely defined or defined by the stop element 111 in this position of the cover 103 and of the housing 107, and at the same time the distance of the cover 103 from the housing 107 in the area of Clamping element 117 defined. Due to this defined geometry in the clamping region of the membranes 109 or the membrane bead 119, a predefined membrane tension or membrane compression can be set by holding down the cover 103.
- FIG. 4 shows that the stop element 111 is arranged outside the region in which the flanging tabs 113 are arranged so that, by folding over the flanging tab 113, there is essentially no change in the geometry in the region of the membrane 109 or membrane bead 119 in the region of the stop element 111 takes place.
- the connection force is not built up in the region of the stop element 111, a relative movement between the stop member 111 and the extension 115 as well as a Deformation of the stop member 111 and the extension 115 avoided.
- a defined Membranverpessung is achieved.
- this construction of the actuator 101 or the method according to the invention also makes it possible to detect a malpositioning of the membranes 109, in particular of the membrane bead 119. This is made possible by the fact that a force-displacement curve is recorded during the hold-down movement.
- This movement is limited by reaching a contact between the stop member 111 and the extension 115.
- FIG. 5 shows a force-displacement diagram for this hold-down movement.
- Reference numeral 200 denotes a desired force-displacement characteristic. If the membrane 109 or the membrane bead 119 is located in a desired position or a predetermined position designated as an IO position, the force-displacement characteristic curve for the hold-down movement runs along an actual characteristic 202, which essentially corresponds to the desired characteristic curve 200, which just describes an iO position corresponds. However, if there is a displacement of the membranes 109, in particular of the membrane bead 119, for example in a direction to the right in FIG. 4, the movement follows the actual force-travel characteristic curve 204, which describes an exemplary niO layer.
- the absolute values may change, but the ratio of the different curves of the force-displacement characteristic remains unchanged. This makes it possible to differentiate the niO position from the iO position, even with different test series, ie test series of actuators with different geometries.
- a larger path is covered until there is contact between the abutment element 111 and the Extension 115 is coming. This contact is indicated by the increase 206 of the actual characteristic 204.
- the increase 206 just describes the course of the force-displacement curve after approaching the stop.
- the path is extended when the bead 119 is arranged in the region between the housing 107 and the clamping element 117. If the membrane bead 1 19 is thus arranged at a location outside the clamping region 121, an early increase in force is recorded, since the membrane bead 119, or some millimeters earlier, is pinched by the clamping element 117 than under the correct position conditions of the diaphragm 109 with the recess 121 would be the case. In addition, a larger way to a contact between the stop member 111 and the extension 115 to cover.
- the method according to the invention, the actuator according to the invention and the device according to the invention make it possible to achieve a defined membrane compression between two housing elements in an actuator and to reliably monitor a correct fit of the membrane, in particular a membrane bead, in a clamping area during a mounting process can be.
