Adjusting drive of a motor vehicle adjusting element
View Patent ↗An electronics and/or gearing housing, in particular for a worm wheel of a window lifting drive, of a motor vehicle is provided. The electronics and/or gearing housing has a housing body, within which an electronic assembly is arranged, and a cover, which is joined to the housing body via ultrasonic welding.
1. An adjusting drive of an adjusting element of a motor vehicle, the adjusting drive comprising:
a housing with a housing body, within which an electronic assembly is arranged; and
a cover that is joined to the housing body via ultrasonic welding, the cover positioned so as to be substantially parallel to the electronic assembly and the cover having a dome projecting from an inner surface thereof in a direction substantially perpendicular to the electronic assembly, such that the dome is directed toward the electronic assembly,
wherein the dome lies against the electronic assembly with frictional engagement and presses the electronic assembly onto at least one electrical contact terminal.
2. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dome is integrally formed on the cover.
3. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electronic assembly is substantially hermetically sealed via the housing body and the cover.
4. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dome tapers as a distance from the electronic assembly decreases.
5. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dome is conical or frustoconical.
6. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dome protrudes through an opening in the electronic assembly.
7. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a free end of the dome engages in a mating holder of the housing body and is fused together with the mating holder.
8. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a diameter of the opening is smaller than a maximum diameter of the dome.
9. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the housing is an electronics and gearing housing for the electronic assembly and for a worm wheel or crossed helical gear of a window lifting drive of a motor vehicle.
10. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the entire dome and the cover are formed of a same material.
11. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dome directly contacts the electronic assembly.
12. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the opening passes entirely through the electronic assembly, such that a free end of the dome passes through the opening and extends outside the opening.
13. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the cover is positioned so as to face an upper surface of the electronic assembly and the mating holder is positioned so as to face an opposing bottom surface of the electronic assembly, such that the electronic assembly is positioned between the cover and the mating holder.
14. The adjusting drive as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising a second dome that directly contacts an upper surface of the electronic assembly, such that the cover includes the dome that protrudes through the opening in the electronic assembly, to thus prevent translational movement of the electronic assembly, and the second dome that directly contacts the upper surface of the electronic assembly, to thus prevent movement of the electronic assembly in a direction towards the cover.
15. An adjusting drive of an adjusting element of a motor vehicle, the adjusting drive comprising:
a housing with a housing body, within which an electronic assembly is arranged; and
a cover that is joined to the housing body, the cover positioned so as to be substantially parallel to the electronic assembly and the cover having a dome projecting from an inner surface thereof in a direction substantially perpendicular to the electronic assembly, such that the dome is directed toward the electronic assembly,
wherein the dome directly contacts the electronic assembly.
