Abstract
The invention proposes a device for attaching an actuator (2) to a housing (4), in particular for an automotive vehicle, the actuator being provided for driving a movable equipment (41) disposed within the housing. The device comprises attaching means for attaching the actuator on the housing. The mounting means comprise two conjugated connection flanges (20, 40), respectively mounted on a connexion face (28) of the actuator (28) and on a connection face (48) of the housing. The connexion flanges are adapted to be assembled according to a male/female type connection at the outside of the housing.
Claims12
A fastening device for an actuator (1) with a housing (4), in particular for a motor vehicle, the actuator (2) being designed to drive a movable member (41) arranged inside the housing (4), the device comprising fastening means for making the actuator integral with the housing, characterized in that the fastening means include two mating connecting flanges (20, 40) mounted, respectively, on a connecting surface (28) of the actuator and on a connecting surface (48) of the housing, and in that said connecting flanges are capable of being assembled via a male/female-type connection on the exterior of said housing, and wherein the fastening means further includes a stop device (462, 23) configured to block the rotation of the actuator in relation to the housing (4) in a predefined stop position, and wherein the stop device includes a latching tab (23) arranged on the actuator and a holding mechanism (462) arranged on the connecting surface (48) of the housing (4), the latching tab (23) being configured to be fastened to the holding mechanism (462) by clipping on to the holding mechanism (462) when the actuator reaches the stop position.
A heating and air conditioning system comprising an airflow housing (4) in which a damper (41) is housed, the damper being driven by an actuator (2), characterized in that it the system comprises a fastening device, for making the actuator integral with the housing, the fastening device including two mating connecting flanges (20, 40) mounted, respectively, on a connecting surface (28) of the actuator and on a connecting surface (48) of the housing, and in that said connecting flanges are capable of being assembled via a male/female-type connection on the exterior of said housing.
An air conditioning and heating device including an air circulation housing (4) that contains a damper, the damper being driven by an actuator (2), characterized in that it the device comprises a fastening device for fastening the actuator on the housing, the fastening device including two mating connecting flanges (20, 40) mounted, respectively, on a connecting surface (28) of the actuator and on a connecting surface (48) of the housing, and in that said connecting flanges are capable of being assembled via a male/female-type connection on the exterior of said housing.
