  • Patent number: 11973402
    Abstract: A drive device, in particular an electric-motor adjustment drive of a motor vehicle, comprising a drive housing having a brushless electric motor mounted therein, the electric motor having a stator having a stator winding and a rotor having a rotor shaft, the rotor shaft being coupled to a transmission mechanism. The drive housing has a transmission mechanism housing and a motor housing, which is connected to the transmission mechanism housing at a connection interface. A plug connection for receiving a mating plug connection is provided on the motor housing or on the transmission mechanism housing, the plug connection having a number of connection contacts. A number of phase connections of the stator winding is led into a joining and/or contacting position. The phase connections are led, for the electrical contacting thereof, to the connection contacts of the plug connection.

  • Publication number: 20220190692
    Abstract: A drive device, having a drive housing with a brushless electric motor which can be installed therein and has a stator winding and a rotor and motor electronics with a printed circuit board, the electric motor being insertable into the drive housing via a housing opening. A main stator body has a number of stator teeth which are arranged in a star shape and around which the stator winding is wound, a number of phase connections of the stator winding being guided into an in particular radially oriented joining position. The printed circuit board has a number of connection sockets corresponding to the number of phase connections, said connection sockets receiving the phase connections as the electric motor is inserted into the drive housing.

  • Patent number: 8536746
    Abstract: An electric-motor adjustment drive is provided for an adjustment element in a motor vehicle, in particular a window lifter, that has a drive module, which includes a pole pot that supports a motor shaft, and having an electronic module having a circuit board, which can be inserted into a housing of a brush holder, which housing is connected to the drive module. The circuit board is retained in an insertion plane perpendicular to the motor shaft by the housing of the brush holder in a form- and/or force-closed manner, wherein a number of contact elements for motor contacting and/or for interference suppression are arranged in the housing, which contact elements are contacted within the housing when the circuit board is inserted.
