- the control and power supply unit consists of two separate units which are screwed together to an assembled unit.
- the power supply has a closed housing in which two battery packs are located.
- the housing is constituted by an injection molded rectangular box with a hollow and a cover which is secured to the box by means of four screws.
- linear actuator systems are exposed to vibrations and shocks, which can damage the power supply and in particular the battery packs.
- the housing as well as the battery packs can rupture such that e.g. water and dust can get in. At best this can cause the linear actuator system to fail safely, but at worst such a defect can cause personal injury.
- the purpose of the invention is to provide an inexpensive box for a linear actuator system, which provides a better protection for the power supply.
- the actuator system comprises a linear actuator and at least one box
- the linear actuator comprises a housing, an electric motor with a transmission, a spindle unit with a spindle and a spindle nut, and an activation element in connection with the spindle unit, and where the electric motor through the transmission drives the spindle unit, by which the activation element moves back and forth depending on the direction of rotation of the electric motor
- the box comprises a power supply and a hollow for receiving the power supply.
- the box in the linear actuator system in characteristic in that the hollow comprises retention means for retaining the power supply in at least one direction. Thus, the box will be more capable of withstanding the shocks and vibrations which occur during use/operation.
- the hollow comprises an opening through which the power supply is received.
- the hollow comprises in an embodiment a wall in which the retention means for retaining the power supply are located.
- the retention means is a spring element.
- the spring element renders it possible for power supplies with different outer dimensional tolerances to be received.
- the box will be more capable of withstanding shocks and vibrations, as the elasticity of the spring element makes it possible to absorb some of the energy, which might affects the actuator system including the box.
- the retention means comprise barbs, which form tracks and indentations in the power supply when this is placed in the hollow.
- the spring element is more capable of maintaining its retention.
- the hollow of the box comprises an insertable partition wall, which divides the hollow into two, each of which can receive a power supply.
- the insertable partition wall can in an embodiment be received and fixed in two opposite slots in the hollow.
- the insertable partition wall can comprise a snap lock prepared for engagement and retention in the hollow, and can further comprise a snap lock prepared for engagement with the power supply.
- the box can be fixed in another direction where forces will first be received in the partition wall through the snap lock for the power supply and from there they will be led into the hollow via the snap lock for this purpose of the partition wall.
- the box comprises a rear cover for closing the hollow of the box.
- the rear cover comprises a pin prepared for engagement with the snap lock for the power supply on the partition wall, such that these are tilted and retained in engagement with the power supply.
- the rear cover thus only functions as a tight-fitting lid for the hollow and is thus not part of the retention of the power supply.
- the rear cover can thus be constructed with the sole purpose of creating a good sealing.
- the hollow comprises an end wall, side walls, an upper wall and a lower wall.
- the lower wall comprises a recess in which the spring element is located.
- the spring element comprises a tiltable resilient flap which can tilt about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the side wall.
- the spring element comprises two tiltable resilient flaps, the respective free ends of which face towards each other.
- the free ends are connected to a semicircular connection element, which has its opening facing towards the hollow.
- the resilient flaps reach into the hollow in their resting position.
- the spring element will push the power supply against an opposite wall in the hollow thus retaining the power supply in one direction.
- the spring element will render it possible to receive power supplies with different tolerances on the outer dimension.
- the main components of the linear actuator outlined in fig. 1 are constituted by a housing 1 , a reversible electric motor 2, a transmission 2a, a spindle unit 3 with a spindle 3a, on which a spindle nut 3b is located, an activation element 4 in the form of a length of tube, which with a rear end is secured to the spindle nut 3b.
- the linear actuator further comprises an outer tube 5, which with a rear end is secured to the housing 1 .
- the outer tube 5 surrounds the spindle unit 3 and the activation element 4 and functions as a guide for the activation element 4 and the spindle nut 3b.
- a front mounting 6 and rear mounting 7 serve for mounting the linear actuator in the construction in which the linear actuator should be build-in.
- the front mounting 6 is secured to the front end of the activation element 4, and the rear mounting 7 to the rear end of the housing.
- Fig. 2 of the drawing shows a perspective view of the linear actuator, which in a linear actuator system can be connected to a box 8 as shown in Fig. 3.
- the box is in Fig. 3 shown in perspective from the top towards the front end of the box.
- the box 8 is equipped with an opening cover 9.
- a socket 10 In both sides and at the end of the space there are lead-ins 1 1 for cables such that these can be pulled out to one or the other side or out through the end.
- the cover 9 is closed the edge thereof will hold the cables in place in the lead-ins 1 1 .
- the box 8 is shown in perspective from the top towards the rear end with and without rear cover 12, respectively.
- the box comprises a hollow 13 with an end wall 14, two side walls 15,16, an upper wall 17 and a lower wall 18.
- the hollow 13 can be divided with a space divider in the form of a partition wall 19 (see fig. 8), which is inserted into a track 20,21 in the upper wall 17 and lower wall 18, respectively.
- the partition wall 19 is fixed in the longitudinal direction of the tracks by means of a snap lock 22 on the partition wall 19, which cooperates with a recess 23 in the lower wall 18.
- the two partial hollows of the divided hollow 13 are in the following designated 13a, 13b, see fig. 10.
- Each partial hollow 13a, 13b can receive an external unit in the form of a power supply 24 (see fig. 9), which e.g. can be an energy storage, a battery pack or a transformer.
- the power supply 24 is designed as an oblong rectangular box.
- the lower wall 18 comprises eight identical spring elements 24, which are thus referenced with one single reference numeral, namely 25.
- the spring element 25 is integrated in a recess or hole 26 in the lower wall 18.
- Each spring element 25 consists of two tiltable resilient flaps 27,28, which can tilt about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the side walls 15,16.
- the resilient flaps 27,28 are oppositely hinged such that their respective free ends face towards one another.
- the two free ends of the resilient flaps 27,28 are further connected to a semicircular connection element 29.
- the opening of the semicircular connection element 29 faces towards the hollow 13.

Together with the side walls 15,16 the respective resilient flaps 30a-c,31 a-c form a V-shape with an opening towards the rear wall 14 of the hollow 16.
- the resilient flaps 30a-c,31 a-c will be pushed inwards against the respective side walls 15,16.
- the barbs on the resilient flaps 30a-c,31 a-c will make longitudinal tracks in the stretch of wall of the power supply 24 which faces towards the side wall 15,16 when the power supply 24 is inserted into the hollow 13.
- the resilient flaps 30a-c,31 a-c are pushed against the side walls 15,16 they accumulate potential energy and push the power supply 24 against the partition wall 19.
