Description

This invention relates to an adjustment device for a vehicle component that is movable relative to the vehicle body, specifically for a vehicle door or vehicle flap. The type of adjustment device described above is known, for example, from German Patent No. 102011118353 (A1). An adjustment device for a vehicle tailgate is shown, which comprises a spindle drive mechanism. The spindle drive mechanism has two spindle tubes that can be nested together. German Patent No. 102019214037 (A1) also relates to a spindle drive, wherein the spindle drive is connected to a pressure piston via a section tube. The section tube is frictionally fastened to the spindle nut of the spindle drive. Other adjustment devices using spindle drives are actually known. Such spindle drives typically have a large number of individual components, and as a result, the manufacture of such spindle drives results in chain tolerances that can contribute to increased noise generation, particularly when vibrations related to the corresponding vibrations or tolerances are transmitted to the vehicle body or vehicle parts that are movable relative to the vehicle body. Against this backdrop, the object of the present invention is to identify an adjustment device for vehicle components that are movable relative to the vehicle body, the adjustment device enabling good tolerance compensation, particularly during assembly, thereby reducing noise generation during operation. Another object of the present invention is to identify a vehicle equipped with such an adjustment device. According to the present invention, this objective is achieved with respect to the adjustment device according to the subject of claim 1, and with respect to the vehicle according to the subject of claim 16. Specifically, this objective is achieved by an adjustment device for a vehicle component that is movable relative to the vehicle body, particularly for a vehicle door or vehicle flap, preferably comprising a housing having a slide assembly, the slide assembly being moved between a first and second position by a drive unit. Furthermore, adjustment elements are provided, designed to be connectable to the slide assembly and to the vehicle body or a vehicle component that is movable relative to the vehicle body. The present invention can also provide fastening elements for fastening an actuator to the vehicle body or a vehicle component that is movable relative to the vehicle body, the fastening elements being designed to be connectable to the housing in a frictional and/or positive-actual manner. The adjustment elements are designed to be connectable, in particular, to the slide assembly and to the vehicle body or to vehicle components that are movable relative to the vehicle body. The ball joint connection, in particular, allows for the connection and movement of the adjustment element around a pivot axis that extends, for example, through a ball bolt, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the adjustment element. Specifically, the pivot axis of the adjustment element also extends through a slide assembly. The present invention has the advantage that separate fastening elements allow for tolerance compensation when mounting the adjustment device to a vehicle. The fact that the fastening elements can be connected to the housing in a frictional and/or positive-action manner also facilitates mounting. In particular, mounting templates are not required. Rather, the position of the housing relative to the fastening elements can be adjusted to compensate for tolerances before frictional and/or positive-action engagement is established. Therefore, manufacturing tolerances, especially tolerance chains, can be easily and simply compensated when mounting the adjustment device to a vehicle. This reduces potential tensile and acoustic disturbances resulting from the transmission of vibrations to the vehicle body. In a preferred embodiment of the adjustment device according to the present invention, the housing is provided to have at least one receptacle for guiding fastening elements along the longitudinal direction of the housing. Such guides for fastening elements allow for particularly easy tolerance compensation during installation. In particular, the fastening elements can be fastened or secured at different positions along the receptacle, and as a result, the optimal position of the adjustment device can be found for a particular vehicle. Preferably, the fastening element comprises at least one guide device for insertion into the receptacle. Such a guide device facilitates the mounting of the fastening element to the housing of the adjustment device. At the same time, such a guide element ensures that twisting of the fastening element relative to the housing of the actuator is avoided. The guide device preferably includes a first guide element and a second guide element. Such a double guide on the housing ensures particularly good force absorption. Therefore, the tilt moment and o
