Abstract
An opening device for a motor vehicle door element having an electric drive and an actuating means, wherein the actuating means is adjustable by means of the drive and a gear mechanism arranged between the actuating means and the drive, with the result that a movement of the door element can be made possible, and a sensor for detecting a force on the opening device, wherein the door element can be held by way of the actuating means.
Claims19
An opening device for a motor vehicle door element, the opening device comprising:
- an electric drive;
- an actuator that is adjustable by the electric drive and a gear mechanism arranged between the actuator and the electric drive, whereby a movement of the door element is possible, wherein the gear mechanism includes a first gear mechanism stage and a second gear mechanism stage, wherein the gear mechanism is pivotably accommodated in a gear mechanism carrier of the opening device, wherein the gear mechanism carrier is pivotable about an axis fixedly arranged in the opening device, wherein the axis is a pivot axis of the first gear mechanism stage and the gear mechanism carrier includes a bearing point for the second gear mechanism stage spaced from the axis such that the second gear mechanism stage is pivotable about the axis;
- and
- a sensor configured to detect a pivoting movement of the gear mechanism carrier about the axis, wherein the motor vehicle door element is held by the actuator.
