Abstract

An adjustment drive, in particular a window winder drive of a motor vehicle. The adjustment drive has an electric motor with a brush system, the respective brush of the brush system being connected to a plug contact in order to supply power to the electric motor, and an electronics system housing in which a mating contact, with which the plug contact makes contact, is arranged. In this case, the plug contact is mounted such that it can move in the plug-contact-making direction.

Claims (22)

1. An adjustment drive comprising:

an electric motor;

a brush system that is connectable to a plug contact in order to supply power to the electric motor; and

an electronics system housing in which a mating contact, with which the plug contact makes contact, is arranged,

wherein the plug contact is slidably mounted in the brush system such that the plug contact is movable in a plug-contact-making direction, where the plug-contact-making direction is a direction the plug contact is moved to establish an electrical connection with the mating contact, and

wherein the plug contact is routed within a main body of the brush system in a contour that extends in the plug-contact-making direction.

2. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , having an interlocking and/or force-fitting plug connection between the plug contact and the mating contact.

3. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug contact is pliant or flexible perpendicular to the plug-contact-making direction.

4. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug contact has at least one stop element for limiting a movement distance.

5. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the movement distance of the plug contact is less than 1 mm.

6. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug contact is a blade contact and the mating contact is a forked contact.

7. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug contact has at least one blind-hole-like recess in which the mating contact engages.

8. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mating contact latches with the plug contact.

9. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug contact has at least one groove that runs substantially perpendicular to the plug-contact-making direction in order to form a spring-elastic bending point.

10. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electric motor is rigidly connected to the electronics system housing.

11. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plug contact has at least one blind-hole-like recess in which the mating contact is engageable and the plug contact has at least one groove that runs substantially perpendicular to the plug-contact-making direction to form a spring elastic bending point.

12. The adjustment drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein one end of the plug contact is forked.

13. An adjustment drive comprising:

an electric motor;

a brush system that is connectable to a plug contact in order to supply power to the electric motor; and

an electronics system housing in which a mating contact, with which the plug contact makes contact, is arranged,

wherein the plug contact is slidably mounted in the brush system such that the plug contact is movable in a plug-contact-making direction, where the plug-contact-making direction is a direction the plug contact is moved to establish an electrical connection with the mating contact.
