Abstract

Drive arrangement ( 1 ) comprising an electrical machine ( 2 ) having at least one winding ( 3 ) which has at least one winding end ( 4 ), and comprising a control unit ( 5 ), wherein the control unit ( 5 ) has a housing ( 6 ) with at least one contact-making receiving opening ( 7 ), wherein the electrical machine ( 2 ) and the control unit ( 5 ) can be mechanically connected, and wherein at least one winding end ( 4 ) of the winding ( 3 ) of the electrical machine ( 2 ) can be guided into the contact-making receiving opening ( 7 ) and can be clamped in the contact-making receiving opening ( 7 ) by means of a displaceable sliding part ( 5 ) and/or a deformable bending part ( 9 ), so that electrical contact can be established between the electrical machine ( 2 ) and the control unit ( 5 ).

Claims (13)

1. A drive arrangement comprising an electrical machine having at least one winding which has at least one winding end, and comprising a control unit, wherein the control unit has a housing with at least one contact-making receiving opening and a printed circuit board encased by the housing, wherein a contact element is electrically connected to the printed circuit board and is exposed in each of the contact-making receiving openings, wherein the electrical machine and the control unit can be mechanically connected, and wherein at least one winding end of the winding of the electrical machine can be guided into the contact-making receiving opening and can be clamped in the contact-making receiving opening by at least one of a displaceable sliding part and a deformable bending part, so that at least one winding end of the winding of the electrical machine can be electrically connected to the contact element.

2. The drive arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the bending part is designed such that it deforms during the process for mechanically connecting the electrical machine and the control unit.

3. The drive arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the sliding part is designed such that it is displaced during the process for mechanically connecting the electrical machine and the control unit.

4. The drive arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the sliding part and the bending part are each in the form of a separate component or are integrally formed.

5. The drive arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the bending part is integrally formed with the housing of the control unit.

6. The drive arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein at least one of the sliding part and the bending part is in the form of an insert part.

7. The drive arrangement as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the electrical machine and the control unit are mechanically connected to one another by a plug connection.
