Window winder drive
View Patent ↗A window winder drive functions with a freewheeling coupling, which has an outer coupling part and an inner coupling part, which is concentric thereto, and comprises clamping bodies arranged between a clamping face of the outer coupling part and a clamping face of the inner coupling part, wherein the clamping bodies are arranged in pairs in the annular space formed between the clamping faces, and the first clamping body of a pair of clamping bodies demonstrates a clamping effect exclusively in a specific direction of rotation of the outer coupling part in relation to the inner coupling part, while the second clamping body of the pair of clamping bodies exclusively has a clamping effect in the opposite direction of rotation.
1. A window winder drive, comprising:
a freewheeling clutch having an outer clutch part with a first clamping surface, an inner clutch part with a second clamping surface concentric with respect to the outer clutch part and clamping bodies arranged between the first clamping surface of the outer clutch part and the second clamping surface of the inner clutch part;
a switching cage having claws which engage in an annular space and force the clamping bodies out of a clamping position to rotate the inner clutch part relative to the outer clutch part;
a drive element; and
a damping element which is connected between the drive element and the switching cage,
wherein the clamping bodies are arranged in pairs in the annular space formed between the clamping surfaces, each pair includes a first clamping body having a clamping action exclusively in a first direction of rotation of the outer clutch part relative to the inner clutch part, and a second clamping body having a clamping action exclusively in second direction of rotation, opposite the first direction of rotation.
2. The window winder drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the inner clutch part has a circumference with a plateau formed on the circumference and the plateau has clamping ramps which are inclined in opposite directions and on each of the clamping ramps one of the clamping bodies is arranged.
3. The window winder drive as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a compression spring, which keeps the clamping bodies ready for clamping, clamped between said clamping bodies which are arranged on the clamping ramps.
4. The window winder drive as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the inner clutch part has flanks that delimit the plateau and the switching cage has contact surfaces which interact with the flanks.
5. The window winder drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the damping element is arranged concentrically with respect to the clutch parts and in a same axial construction space.
6. The window winder drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the switching cage has an outer claw and the damping element is arranged in a cavity of the drive element with the outer claw of the switching cage engaging into the cavity.
