Actuating device

An actuating device for mechanically actuating a component, comprising:

• a housing, which has a first housing part and a second housing part, which lie against one another in a separation plane and which are fastened to one another;
• an electric motor arranged in the first housing part and having an input shaft;
• an output shaft rotatably mounted at least on the second housing part and penetrating a wall of the second housing part, the output shaft (i) is connected externally on the second housing part with an actuating element for mechanical coupling with the component which is to be actuated, or (ii) forms an actuating element for mechanical coupling with the component which is to be actuated;
• and
• a gear train, which connects the input shaft with the output shaft, and which has an output gearwheel rotatably connected with the output shaft, and a worm drive, which has a worm rotatably connected with the input shaft, and a worm wheel directly in engagement with the worm;
• wherein the second housing part, in relation to an axis of rotation running perpendicularly to the separation plane, is able to be fastened to the first housing part in at least two different rotation positions;
• wherein the output shaft is arranged eccentrically to the axis of rotation on the second housing part;
• wherein at least one of the first housing part and the second housing part have at least one bearing point for rotary bearing at least one additional gearwheel of the gear train;
• wherein in a first rotation position between the first housing part and the second housing part, the gear train without the additional gearwheel connects the input shaft with the output shaft with a first transmission ratio;
• wherein in a second rotation position different from the first rotation position, between the first housing part and the second housing part, the gear train with the additional gearwheel connects the input shaft with the output shaft with a second transmission ratio different from the first transmission ratio;
• wherein one of:
• the additional gearwheel is absent in the first rotation position and is present in the second rotation position;
• or
• the additional gearwheel is present in the first rotation position, but is not integrated into the gear train, whereas in the second rotation position, the additional gearwheel is integrated into the gear train;
• and
• wherein respective rotation axes of the additional gearwheel and of the output gearwheel run parallel to the axis of rotation, whereas a rotation axis of the input shaft runs transversely to the axis of rotation.
