Drive assembly for the motorised adjustment of an adjusting element of a motor vehicle

A drive arrangement configured to provide motorized adjustment of an adjusting element of a motor vehicle, the drive arrangement comprising:

• a drive unit including a drive provided with,
• a driveshaft,
• an output shaft
• motor unit,
• an advancing mechanism connected downstream of the motor unit and configured to generate drive movements along a geometric advancing mechanism axis in a first adjusting direction, in which the drive arrangement is configured to open the adjusting element, and a second adjusting direction, in which the drive arrangement is configured to close the adjusting element,
• a coupling provided with at least two coupling elements including a first coupling element, fixedly connected to the driveshaft and configured to conjointly rotate with the driveshaft, and a second coupling element is fixedly connected to the output shaft and configured to conjointly rotate with the output shaft, the first and second coupling elements configured to be in a coupled state, in which rotational movements are transmitted from the driveshaft to the output shaft to generate the drive movements of the advancing mechanism;
• a drive housing;
• a movement detection device configured to detect rotational movement of the driveshaft, the movement detection device including,
• at least one sensor fixed to the drive housing, and
• an encoder element fixedly disposed on and configured to conjointly rotate with at least one of the at least two coupling elements, wherein the encoder element is configured to interact with the at least one sensor.
