Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a linear actuator according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • linear actuators are widely used in structures, in which the linear movement is used for adjusting moveable parts. Be it moveable parts, which are rotatable around an axis or moveable parts, which are linearly displaceable .
  • linear actuators are used in articles of furniture, hospital and care beds, patient lifters, in vehicles, boats and airplanes, machines and processing plants, satellite dishes, solar panels etc.
  • the actuator is typically secured in a structure by means of a rear mounting on the rear end of the actuator and a front mounting on the activation element, which typically appears as a tubular rod.
  • Both the rear mounting as well as the front mounting is typically an eye or a fork mounting for a shaft, typically in the shape of a short shaft portion or a bolt.
  • WO2005/079134 A2 to Linak A/S wherein both the rear mounting as well as the front mounting is an eye.

  • US 6,202,803 Bl to Lang discloses a linear actuator for adjusting slats (the front edges) and flaps on an airplane.
  • the rear mounting and the front mounting is designed with a spherical bearing, which is a troublesome and expensive construction, which does not always measure up to the desire for the linear actuator to be able to move about more than one axis.
  • a rear mounting or a front mounting with a spherical bearing is rather voluminous and furthermore increases the built-in length of the actuator.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide an electrically driven linear actuator with a mounting which enables the linear actuator to pivot around more than one axis without the use of a spherical bearing.
  • the linear actuator as stated in claim 1 in that at least one mounting, by means of which the actuator can be secured in a structure in which the actuator is to be incorporated, comprises a first axis around which the actuator can pivot and where the first axis is located in an element in the mounting, said element can pivot around a second axis perpendicular to the first axis.

  • the recess in the rear mounting can thus be rectangular and in that the surfaces on the side of the rear mounting perpendicular to the first axis are plane the design will be simple while the mounting of the element will be easy.

  • the electric motor 2 drives the spindle 4, which with a bearing 10 on one end is embedded in the rear mounting.
  • the spindle nut 5, located on the spindle 4 is secured against rotation and will thus move back and forth on the spindle depending on the direction of rotation of this.
  • the tubular activation element 6 located in the guide 7 is with one end secured to the spindle nut 5 and thus follows the movement thereof, i.e. is displaced forward or retracted in the guide 7 depending on whether the spindle nut 5 moves back or forth on the spindle.
  • the rear mounting 8 is designed as a separate part of cast lightweight metal.
  • the rear mounting comprises a first part 8a, by means of which it is mounted in the housing 1, to be exact in the second part lb of the housing namely the end cover, as well as a second part 8b, which protrudes through a hole in the second part lb of the housing intended for that purpose.
  • a hexagonal collar 11 is located on the passage of the first part 8a to the second part 8b of the rear mounting, said collar can be received in a corresponding recess in the second part lb, the end cover, of the housing.
  • the rear mounting can thus be adjusted in steps of 30° for adapting its position to the structure in which the actuator is incorporated.

  • the actuator can be mounted by means of a bolt 19 or a shaft portion through the eye 18 or in that the actuator with the eye 18 is positioned over a shaft or a pivot in the structure in which the actuator is to be incorporated.

  • the element 16 is a "cylindrical piece", which with the end surfaces 19 is embedded on the side walls 15c, 15d of the recess 15.

Further, the two struts, when positioned closely up against the two plane side surfaces 22,23 on the rear mounting, will also effectively prevent the insert 17 and the element 16 from sliding sideward out of the recess 18 in the rear mounting 8.
  • the actuator can thus pivot about the bolt, alternatively the shaft portion, the shaft or the shaft pin and moreover, the actuator is able to pivot relative to the element where the bolt goes through the eye, i.e. the actuator is able to pivot around the longitudinal axis of the eye, just as it is capable of pivoting around an axis perpendicular to this, namely the axis of rotation of the element, cf. fig. 6 of the drawing. Furthermore, rotation around the longitudinal axis of the actuator is locked, as the activation element 6 is secured against rotation in the guide 7, which is advantageous.

  • the actuator is thus able to pivot around the bolt alternatively the shaft portion, the shaft or the shaft pin. Furthermore, the actuator is capable of displacing itself axially or the other way around, the structure in which the actuator is incorporated can move without affecting the actuator, in that the bolt or alternatively the shaft portion, the shaft or the shaft pin displaces itself in the oblong opening 24.

As it appears from fig. 2 the tubular activation element 6 is screwed onto the spindle nut 5. By leaving a number of threads free the activation element 6 with the front mounting 9 will be able to execute a rotary movement.
  • the front mounting 9 is mounted with threads in the end of the tubular activation element 6.
  • the front mounting 9 can be designed such that the two parts 9a, 9b of this can pivot relative to each other, i.e. the first part 9a is fixed in the end of the activation element, while the other part 9b with the opening 24 will be able to pivot relative thereto.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un actionneur linéaire dans lequel au moins un montage (8), au moyen duquel l'actionneur peut être fixé dans une structure, comprend un premier axe autour duquel l'actionneur peut se déplacer, et le premier axe étant situé dans un élément (16) du montage, ledit élément (16) pouvant pivoter autour d'un second axe perpendiculaire au premier axe. Ainsi, le montage peut pivoter (8) autour de deux axes, ce qui résout le problème, dans la plupart des cas, de l'actionneur linéaire qui ne peut pas se déplacer autour de plus d'un axe, et la solution peut être relativement simple et relativement peu chère de telle sorte que la solution peut être largement utilisée. En outre, la structure peut être relativement petite et courte, c'est-à-dire que la longueur intégrée de l'actionneur n'est pas augmentée ou n'est pas augmentée de façon considérable.
