Structural unit for a linear actuator

1. A structural unit for a linear actuator, the structural unit comprising:

a configuration configured to wirelessly absorb energy and to then electrically supply at least one electrical load with wirelessly absorbed energy.

2. The structural unit according to claim 1 configured as a spindle unit.

3. A linear actuator, comprising:

an outer tube;

a structural unit according to claim 1 movably disposed relative to said outer tube;

at least one electronic unit configured to radiate electromagnetic radiation in order to transfer information and/or energy into an interior of said outer tube of the linear actuator.

4. The linear actuator according to claim 3 , wherein said structural unit is at least at times arranged inside the outer tube.

5. The linear actuator according to claim 3 , wherein said electronic unit has at least one antenna disposed on an inside of said outer tube.

6. The linear actuator according to claim 3 , wherein said electronic unit has an NFC reader.

7. The linear actuator according to claim 6 , wherein said structural unit has at least one NFC tag configured to interact with said NFC reader.

8. The linear actuator according to claim 3 , wherein said electronic unit further comprises:

at least one transmission unit configured to transmit information to a receiver remote from the linear actuator by way of electromagnetic radiation; and/or

at least one reception unit configured to receive information from a transmitter remote from the linear actuator by way of electromagnetic radiation.

9. The linear actuator according to claim 8 , being a linear actuator configured to store data in an Internet cloud and/or being a part of the Internet of Things.

10. The linear actuator according to claim 3 , further comprising at least one computing unit that is configured, based on data that the computing unit has received directly or indirectly, in at least one operating mode, from a sensor of the linear actuator, to determine a recommendation for a time when a mechanical component of the linear actuator should be exchanged.

11. A system, comprising:

a linear actuator according to claim 3 having a sensor;

a computing unit configured to receive data from said sensor, and said computing unit being configured, based on data received directly or indirectly in at least one operating mode, from said sensor, to determine a recommendation for an exchange time for a mechanical component of the linear actuator.

12. The structural unit according to claim 1 wherein said configuration is configured to transmit data by way of electromagnetic radiation.
