Adjusting Device, Motor-Driven Valve and Method for Operating an Adjusting Device

Abstract

An adjusting device having a DC motor and an adjusting member driven by an output shaft of the DC motor is disclosed. The adjusting device has a power driver coupled to the DC motor for controlling a motor current of the DC motor, a current measurement circuit that is adapted to detect a current consumption of the DC motor and to output a current measurement signal dependent on the number of revolutions of the DC motor, and a computing unit, to which the current measurement signal is input adapted to determine the number of revolutions of the DC motor based on the current measurement signal.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
