Patent number: 8314524Abstract: An electrical internal combustion engine actuating arrangement includes a housing cover with a position sensor and a housing body having disposed therein an electric drive motor and an output shaft having a position transducer. The housing cover and the electric drive motor are connected via at least one electrical plug connection arrangement including a plug blade and an opposite plug clamp having a plug-in slot. The housing body and the housing cover include a positioning arrangement having a positioning pin and a positioning bore configured to receive the positioning pin. The at least one electrical plug connection arrangement includes, on a side of the plug clamp, a plug blade guide with a guide slot arranged in parallel with the plug-in slot and a plug-in axis of the positioning arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2008Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Pierburg GmbHInventors: Ralf Neise, Thomas Schroeder

Patent number: 8156922Abstract: An electrical actuating arrangement for an internal combustion engine includes an electric drive motor disposed in a housing body. The electric drive motor includes a motor housing with a drive side closed by a plastic front plate. A mounting flange is disposed on a drive side of the electric drive motor, the mounting flange being integral with the motor housing. The plastic front plate extends at least partially radially beyond the motor housing and is configured to seat via a clamping fit in a corresponding recess of the housing body so as to radially fix the electric drive motor.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2008Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Pierburg GmbHInventors: Michael Glaesser, Isao Fukumoto, Ralf Neise, Peter Nitsch

Patent number: 7316216Abstract: The invention relates to a throttle valve adjusting device (1) which comprises a throttle valve housing (2) linked with a drive unit (6). According to the invention, the electric motor (7) of said drive unit (6) is disposed both outside the housing (9) of the drive unit (6) and outside the throttle valve housing (2) so that its pole tube (16) lies substantially exposed and at the same time serves as the motor casing. Said pole tube (16) has a closed (18) and an open end (17) which is closed by a contact plate (10), while the closed end (18) comprises a bearing element (19) for the drive shaft (14) of the electric motor (7). The inventive throttle valve housing is improved in terms of construction space required and materials used, thereby considerably reducing the costs for production and assembly as well as reducing its weight.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2004Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Pierburg GmbHInventors: Ralf Neise, Marc Anton Münich

Publication number: 20070109748Abstract: The invention relates to an adjusting device (1) which is characterized in that electrical contact is made by means of substantially exposed conductor tracks (12, 14) which are linked with a housing (9) of the adjusting device (1) merely in a positive fit. The conductor tracks (12, 14) are introduced by introducing a continuous perforation comb (13) and severing the webs (22) connecting the individual conductor tracks (12, 14) in an additional step. The inventive adjusting device is advantageous in that while having structurally identical housing components (9), it allows to replace the conductor tracks (12, 14) only or embody them differently, depending on how many contacts are required. It is therefore possible to adapt the conductor tracks to corresponding connector types or different position detecting devices without having to replace the entire board or housing (9) while ensuring an extremely reliable contacting.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2004Publication date: May 17, 2007Applicant: PIERBURG GMBHInventor: Ralf Neise
