Description

Electric drive device and windshield-wiper motor
Prior art
The invention relates to an electric drive device according to the preamble of the independent claims. The invention also relates to a windshield-wiper motor comprising an electric drive device according to the invention.
An electric drive device comprising the features of the preamble of the independent claims and a windshield-wiper motor comprising a corresponding electric drive device are known from WO 2016/010 023 A1. The known electric drive device has a brushless electric motor which has a stator having wire windings and a rotor mounted to rotate around an axis and having a shaft. The rotor carries magnetic elements which interact with the wire windings, the shaft protruding into a transmission housing or being disposed within a transmission housing, where it interacts with a mating toothing on a transmission gearwheel via a toothing on the shaft. For mounting of the shaft, the latter has at least one bearing device, preferably two bearing devices which are spaced apart from one another in the direction of the axis, the shaft being disposed without axial clearance by means of an axial-clearance compensation device. A magnetic- element ring is also provided as part of a device for detecting the rotation angle position of the shaft or of the rotor, and thus of the magnetic elements on the magnetic-element ring. In the case of the prior art which has been described thus far, the individual elements mentioned above are disposed in the longitudinal direction of the shaft of the rotor, in the direction from the magnetic elements to the transmission gearwheel, such that the magnetic elements are followed first of all by the axial-clearance compensation device and then by a first bearing element. The first bearing element is followed, in turn, by the magnetic-element ring and a second bearing device.
Disclosure of the invention In comparison with the prior art, the electric drive device comprising the features of the independent claims presents an alternative arrangement of the at least one bearing device, of the magnetic-element ring and of the magnetic elements (which interact with the wire windings of the stator). Depending on the particular application case, this results in design-related improvements in respect of the amount of space required, of the electrical and/or mechanical function and, possibly, in a reduction in the amount of volume required and in lower production costs.
For this purpose, a first basic design of the electric drive device makes provision for a first bearing device to be disposed on the side of the rotor facing away from the transmission gearwheel in an end portion of the shaft or in axial overlap with the magnetic elements of the rotor.
A development of this basic embodiment provides for the rotor to have a drum shaped or pot-shaped magnetic-element support which radially surrounds the first bearing device. This makes it possible to minimize the axial overall length of the drive device.
A preferred development makes provision so that in the axial direction of the shaft, the first bearing device is followed by the magnetic-element ring, the axial-clearance compensation device, and the second bearing device when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel, the axial-clearance compensation device interacting with the second bearing device.
As an alternative to the previously made proposal, it is possible that in the axial direction of the shaft, the first bearing device is followed by the magnetic- element ring, a second bearing device, and the axial-clearance compensation device, which interacts with the second bearing device, when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel. A further alternative to this makes provision so that in the axial direction of the shaft, the first bearing device is followed by a second bearing device, the axial- clearance compensation device, which interacts with the second bearing device, and the magnetic-element ring when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel.
As an alternative to this, provision may also be made so that in the axial direction of the shaft, the first bearing device is followed by the magnetic- element ring, the axial-clearance compensation device and a second bearing device, which interacts with the axial-clearance compensation device, when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel.
In a further alternative concept here, provision may be made so that in the axial direction of the shaft, the first bearing device is followed by the axial-clearance compensation device, a second bearing device, which interacts with the axial- clearance compensation device, and the magnetic-element ring when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel.
In the case of some of the previously made proposals, provision may be made so that in the axial direction of the shaft, the magnetic elements follow the first bearing device and precede the magnetic-element ring, the axial-clearance compensation device, or the second bearing device when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel.
In an arrangement of the elements of the electric drive device which differs fundamentally from the above, provision is made so that in the axial direction of the shaft, the magnetic elements are followed by the magnetic-element ring, the axial-clearance compensation device, a first bearing device, which interacts with the axial-clearance compensation device, and a second bearing device when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel.
A third basic design of the electric drive device makes provision so that in the axial direction of the shaft, the magnetic elements are followed by the magnetic- element ring, a first bearing device, the axial-clearance compensation device, and a second bearing device, which interacts with the axial-clearance compensation device, when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel.
As a further alternative to this, provision may also be made so that in the axial direction of the shaft, the magnetic elements are followed by a first bearing device, the magnetic-element ring, the axial-clearance compensation device and a second bearing device, which interacts with the axial-clearance compensation device, when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel.
In the case of all the previously described designs of the electric drive device, provision may be made for the axial-clearance compensation device to be a curved sheet-metal part which is disposed under spring pre-load between a housing portion and one of the two bearing devices.
As an alternative to this, provision may be made for the axial-clearance compensation device to be composed of two elements which are mobile in relation to each other in the direction of the shaft and which are forced into a position in which they are axially spaced apart from each other by means of a spring element.
Finally, the invention also covers a windshield-wiper motor comprising an electric drive device according to the invention described thus far.
Further advantages, features and details of the invention can be gathered from the following description of preferred exemplary embodiments and with reference to the drawing.
Figures 1 to 7 of the drawing each show partially sectional, and to some extent simplified, illustrations of a windshield-wiper motor comprising electric drive devices of different designs. In the figures, identical elements, or elements with identical functions, are denoted by identical reference numerals.
Figure 1 illustrates a simplified version of a first electric drive device 10a comprising a brushless electric motor 12. The electric drive device 10a is designed in the form of a windshield-wiper motor 100 which serves for cleaning a vehicle window, at least indirectly, by means of at least one wiper blade (not shown). The electric drive device 10a has a transmission housing 14, in which is disposed a shaft 16 which can be rotated about an axis 18 at least indirectly, preferably directly by the brushless electric motor 12. The shaft 16 has a toothing portion 20, which meshes with an outer toothing 22 of a transmission gearwheel 24. The transmission gearwheel 24 is part of a single-stage or multi stage transmission 26 which serves for driving an output shaft 28, which in turn is coupled, for example, to a wiper linkage of the wiper system (not shown). The transmission housing 14 can be closed by means of a housing cover 30, which is illustrated merely in Figures 1 to 4.
It is additionally mentioned that it is also possible, in addition to the transmission housing 14, to use a motor housing (not shown in the figures) for accommodating the essential parts of the electric motor 12. In this case, the electric motor 12 protrudes into the transmission housing 14 by way of the shaft 16 and the motor housing is connected to the transmission housing 14, for example by being flanged on in a connection region.
The shaft 16 is part of a rotor 32 and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a magnetic-element support 34, which is illustrated merely in Figures 1 and 2. In the exemplary embodiment, the magnetic-element support 34 is designed in the form of a deep-drawn part made of sheet metal and, on its outer circumference, it supports a plurality of elongate magnetic elements 36, which are illustrated merely in Figure 1. The magnetic elements 36 interact with wire windings 38, which can be seen in Figures 2 to 7 and belong to a fixed-position stator 40 composed of laminations. The stator 40 is likewise disposed within the transmission housing 14 and surrounds the outer circumference of the magnetic-element support 34 in a known manner. By virtue of the individual wire windings 38 being energized in dependence on the rotation angle position of the rotor 32 and/or the positioning of the magnetic elements 36, the rotor 32 is made to rotate, in order to drive the transmission gearwheel 24.
The rotor 32 is mounted to rotate in two bearing devices 42, 44, which are spaced apart axially from each other in relation to the axis 18. For this purpose, the two bearing devices 42, 44 are pushed onto the outer circumference of the shaft 16 and disposed in appropriate mounts in the transmission housing 14. The first bearing device 42 is disposed in an end portion 46 of the shaft 16, to be precise in the interior 48 of the pot-shaped or cup-shaped magnetic-element support 34. In the direction of the axis 18, the outside of the magnetic-element support 34 is followed directly, when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel 24, i.e. in the direction of the arrow 45, by a magnetic-element ring 50 comprising magnetic elements 52, said magnetic-element ring likewise being connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the shaft 16. The magnetic-element ring 50 is part of a Hall effect sensor for detecting the rotation angle position of the shaft 16 and/or of the magnetic elements 36, in order for it to be possible for the wire windings 38 to be energized in a known manner. It can also be seen with reference to Figure 1 that the first bearing device 42 is disposed in partially axial overlap with the magnetic elements 36.
An axial-clearance compensation device 54 is disposed on that side of the toothing portion 20 of the shaft 16 which is located opposite the magnetic- element ring 50. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated, the axial-clearance compensation device 54 is designed in the form of a curved sheet-metal part which butts axially against the second bearing device 44, and subjects the latter to force, by way of an end surface. For this purpose, the axial-clearance compensation device 54 is supported in an appropriate mount 56, or a portion of the transmission housing 14, which forms an abutment. Both the axial- clearance compensation device 54 and the second bearing device 44 are disposed in a second end portion 58 of the shaft 16. The electric drive device 10b illustrated in Figure 2 differs from the electric drive device 10a essentially in that in the axial direction of the shaft 16, the first bearing device 42 is followed by the magnetic-element ring 50, the second bearing device 44, and the axial-clearance compensation device 54a, which interacts with the second bearing device 44, when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel 24 or in the direction of the arrow 45.
It can also be seen with reference to Figure 2 that, in the case of a drive device 10c, the magnetic-element ring 50 in the form of a magnetic-element ring 50a or 50b may also be arranged on that side of the axial-clearance compensation device 54a which faces away from the first bearing device 42, in particular in the respective end region of the toothing portion 20.
It can also be seen that the first bearing device 42 is disposed in the region of the housing cover 30, or has been pressed into this region, and that the first bearing device 42, when viewed in the axial direction, is disposed at least essentially outside the stator 40. Furthermore, the axial-clearance compensation device 54a is formed by two elements 60, 62 which are forced into a position in which they are spaced apart from each other in the direction of the axis 18 by means of a spring element 64.
The electric drive device 10d according to Figure 3 is distinguished in that in the axial direction of the shaft 16, the first bearing device 42 is followed by the magnetic-element ring 50, the axial-clearance compensation device 54 and the second bearing device 44, which interacts with the axial-clearance compensation device 54, when viewed in the direction of the transmission gearwheel 24 or in the direction of the arrow 45. Both the axial-clearance compensation device 54 and the second bearing device 44 are also disposed in front of the toothing portion 20 on that side of the shaft 16 which faces the first bearing device 42.
