Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a linear actuator comprising a console, an outer tube connected to the console, an electric motor, a transmission, and a spindle connected to the transmission, a spindle nut on the spindle, an inner tube connected to the spindle nut.
  • the spindle nut and the inner tube are guided inside the outer tube.
  • the electric motor comprises a motor housing and a rotor with an output shaft.
  • the linear actuator is controlled by a control unit having a printed circuit board.
  • the linear actuator comprises a sensor arrangement comprising a first part and a second part, and where the first part is connected to the rotor and the second part is mounted on a sensor section of the printed circuit board.
  • the operation of the linear actuator is controlled by the control unit, which supplies electric power to the electric motor.
  • these often provide information of the amount of work done by the electric motor. This information can e.g. be in the form of counting the number on revolutions of the motor, which can be used to calculate the position of the spindle nut on the spindle.
  • different kind of sensors can be arranged in the linear actuator. Such sensors are commonly difficult to integrate in the linear actuator as they take up space and are typically cabled from the motor to the control unit. Furthermore, they increase the complexity of the assembly of the linear actuator.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a linear actuator with a simpler sensor arrangement.
  • the motor housing comprises an opening through which the sensor section protrudes into the motor housing.
  • the information of the motor needed for controlling the motor can be directly obtained by the sensor arrangement.
  • the second part of the sensor arrangement can be positioned sufficiently close to the first part of the sensor arrangement, so that the second part can obtain the information from the first part.
  • the sensor arrangement is in particular suitable for detecting an angular position of the rotor with respect to the motor housing and consequently to count, for example, rotations performed by the rotor of the motor. Since the second part of the sensor arrangement is directly mounted on the printed circuit board, the information obtained by the sensor arrangement is directly available to the control unit.
  • the opening is at least partly in the form of a slit.
  • the sensor section of the printed circuit board is part of the printed circuit board and therefore rather flat. Using a slit keeps the remaining space between the sensor section of the printed circuit board and the motor housing as small as possible. Ingress of undesired particles, such as dust, can be kept at a minimum.
  • the first part is a magnet arrangement.
  • the magnet arrangement can, for example, have a magnet with a pair of poles. It is also possible to use more than one pair of poles.
  • the electric motor comprises a top part and a bottom part at the opposite end, and the first part of the sensor arrangement is positioned at the bottom part.
  • the first part is arranged at a shaft section protruding out of a stator of the electric motor.
  • the electric motor comprises a shaft bearing arranged at the bottom part of the electric motor, and the first part of the sensor arrangement is arranged between the stator of the electric motor and the shaft bearing. In this position, the shaft of the electric motor is in a stable and clearly defined position, so that the sensor arrangement is able to provide the required information in a continuous and stable manner.
  • the linear actuator comprises a sensor section
  • the printed circuit board is embedded in the control box, and the sensor section protrudes out of the control box.
  • the rest of the printed circuit board is protected by the control box.
  • the sensor section of the printed circuit board is positioned within the housing of the electric motor. Therefore, the printed circuit board is completely protected.
  • the motor housing comprises a socket with at least two contact pins and the control box comprises a corresponding counterpart. It is therefore simple to establish a connection between the control box and the electric motor.
  • the counter elements of the control box are connected to the contact pins of the motor housing.
  • the sensor section of the printed circuit board is inserted into the motor housing, so that all parts are in place after a single simple assembly operation.
  • control box and the motor housing are connected by means of a snap connection.
  • the snap connection is a simple way to connect the control box and the motor housing.
  • control box comprises a hook
  • console comprise a counterpart to the hook
  • hook and the counterpart to the hook constitute the snap connection.
  • the control box can hereby be connected to the remaining parts of the linear actuator by a single and simple operation.
  • the hook of the control box is resilient.
  • the counterpart to the hook is an eye in the front end of the console.
  • the snap connection is releasable.
  • the control box can be disengaged and engaged again without damaging the snap connection
  • control box is fixed to the motor housing by means of a screw arrangement.
  • the snap connection is in some cases not sufficient to keep the control box secured to the control box.
  • a screw connection can additionally be used. It is only necessary to provide a screw in the holes of the motor housing aligned with the corresponding holes in the control box. Other fastening means other than screws can also be used.

  • the spindle nut 16 is guided inside the outer tube 3 and is secured against rotation.
  • the front most part of the spindle nut 16 is adapted for receiving the inner tube 4. More specifically, the rear end of the inner tube 4 can be fastened to the spindle nut 16 via corresponding threads on both parts, or the spindle nut 16 can have a projecting edge or shoulder on which the inner tube 4 can be accommodated.
  • Activation of the electric motor 7 will, via the transmission 14, cause the spindle 13 to rotate, whereby the spindle nut 16 and inner tube 4 will travel along the longitudinal axis of the spindle 13 in a direction depending on the direction of rotation of the motor 7.
  • the front end of the outer tube 3 comprises a bushing 17 for guiding the inner tube 4.
  • the console 2 comprises a front side 18 with an opening 19 which is adapted to the cross section of the outer tube 3. Since the outer tube 3 has a rectangular or square section, the outer tube 3 is fixed against rotation with respect to the console 2.
  • the console 2 comprises a receiving part for the electric motor 7. Further, the console comprises a bearing 1 9 for the output shaft 20 of the electric motor 7. The output shaft 20 is embodied in continuation of the rotor 25 of the electric motor 7.

  • the electric motor 7 comprises a top part 31 out of which the output shaft 20 protrudes and a bottom part 32 at the opposite end.
