  • Publication number: 20220290483
    Abstract: A drive device for adjusting a vehicle assembly including an electromotive adjustment drive to adjust the vehicle assembly and a control device for controlling the adjustment drive, the control device configured to actuate the adjustment drive in an automatic mode, for adjusting the vehicle assembly with a predetermined rotational speed, and in a servo mode for providing a supporting force during a manual adjustment of the vehicle assembly by a user. The control device includes a speed regulation module for determining a first setpoint current value in dependence on a rotational speed of the adjustment drive, a servo regulation module for determining a second setpoint current value in dependence on a load acting on the vehicle assembly and a current regulation module for regulating a current of the adjustment drive.

  • Patent number: 11345418
    Abstract: A drive arrangement for adjusting a flap, in particular a tailgate, of a motor vehicle, which in the mounted state is mounted on a body of the motor vehicle so as to be pivotable about a flap pivot axis and which can be adjusted between an open position and a closed position over a pivot angle. It is proposed that the drive arrangement comprises a torsion spring arrangement having a torsion spring, the torsion spring being adapted to generate a torsional torque about a torsion axis, that the torsion axis is arranged with an offset to the flap pivot axis, and that the drive arrangement comprises a first gear unit which converts the torsional torque into a supporting force or torque acting on the flap in the direction of the closed position or in the direction of the open position thereof.
