Gear unit, electric gear motor and seat
A gear unit (G) includes a gear housing ( 2 ) with at least one locking component ( 2.4, 2.4 ′) for a form and/or force-locking mounting of an electric motor ( 1 ) to the gear unit (G). The locking component ( 2.4, 2.4 ′) is configured as a circumferential edge or flange collar ( 5 ), in which a number of undercuts ( 2.4.1, 2.4.1 ′) are incorporated, in which the electric motor ( 1 ) can be locked by a form or force-locking connection. The gear housing ( 2 ) includes an additional locking unit ( 4 ) as an additional radial stop, which locking unit can be pressed into the locking component ( 2.4 ) to achieve a locked state. An electric gear motor (GM) includes at least one electric motor ( 1 ) and the gear unit (G). The locking component ( 2.4, 2.4 ′) can be form and/or force-lockingly connected to the motor locking element (A, A′). A seat (S) includes the electric gear motor (GM).
1. A gear unit, comprising;
at least one gear housing, comprising:
a first surface facing a motor;
a second surface, opposite said first surface;
at least one locking component comprising a plurality of undercut apertures in said first surface,
a motor locking element connected to said motor, said motor locking element having a plurality of circumferentially spaced, radially extending segments;
wherein said plurality of undercut apertures are connected to respective undercuts in said first surface, wherein said undercuts do not extend through said second surface;
a locking unit, comprising:
an axially extending through hole formed in one of said plurality of said undercut apertures, said through hole extending through said second surface;
a lock pin located in said through hole to block circumferential movement of at least one of said segments in at least one of said undercuts, said lock pin extending through said second surface.
2. The gear unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the locking component is configured as a circumferential edge or flange collar, in which a number of undercuts are incorporated, in which the electric motor is lockable by a form fit or a force fit.
3. The gear unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one locking component is arranged on the at least one gear housing of the gear unit.
4. The gear unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the locking component comprises a number of detent elements for interlocking the electric motor with the gear housing.
5. The gear unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the motor locking element is configured to secure the electric motor immovably in the axial direction and prevented from twisting by a torque lock.
6. The gear unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one locking component comprises a radially outward protruding contour arranged at a front end of an electric motor housing.
7. The gear unit as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a diameter of the contour is larger than an outer diameter of the electric motor housing.
8. The gear unit as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a circumferential profile of the contour has said segments which are in each case spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction.
9. The gear unit as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the locking unit is designed as a separate element.
10. The gear unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the locking component comprises a bayonet lock.
11. The gear unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in an assembly step, the segments are located through the undercut apertures of the first surface, wherein the segments engage the undercuts in a locking manner by rotation of the motor locking elements.
12. The gear unit as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in a locked state the lock pin is located between two segments of the motor locking element.
