Description

The The invention relates to an arrangement for actuating a convertible tailgate according to the genus of Claims.

From the scriptures DE 198 51 181 C1 and DE 10 2004 010 147 Cabrios are known with fixed folding roofs, which are equipped with boot lids, which can be opened for the loading of the trunk forward and for the roof operation to the rear. For this purpose, the boot lids are attached via multi-joint hinges to a tubular frame, which in turn is connected by a hinge to the body.

to Trunk loading will the trunk lid this arrangement means opened a multi-joint, the tube frame remains unmoved.

to Roof movement, however, the trunk lid by means of tubular frame folded back, with the multi-joint remains unmoved.

The DE 102 16 417 A1 discloses a vehicle roof which is adjustable between a closed position and a storage position and which is to be stowed in a storage position in a rear-side storage space which is to be closed by a boot lid. To load the trunk, the rear edge of the boot lid adjacent to the rear area of the vehicle can be raised and the stowed vehicle roof can be adjusted into a raised loading position. Furthermore, a locking device is provided which prevents both raised lifting of the vehicle roof on the loading position and a closing of the rear lid when the rear edge of the boot lid.

The DE 103 35 935 B2 discloses a drive device for a cover element in a motor vehicle, which can be pivoted up either about a first or a second rotary joint. There are two drive units are provided, wherein the first drive unit adjusts the hinges between a functional position and a non-functional position and the second drive unit pivots the cover member to the pivot located in the operating position.

adversely in these known arrangements is that to ensure the Function of the boot lid and its closed position while driving elaborate locking mechanisms are necessary, some must be controlled by motor, that the hinges of the tubular frame very far in the back of the vehicle are arranged in impact-critical areas, giving a negative Influence on the vehicle safety implies that the tubular frame usually over two laterally arranged cylinder is driven, for the four hydraulic lines need to be laid, what to a complex and trouble-prone arrangement leads, and that in the field of storage of the tubular frame control scenes are necessary, which brings a complex construction with it.

task The invention is thus an arrangement for actuating a Cabriolheckdeckels indicate that the previous disadvantages of the prior the technology avoids.

These Task is by arrangement for actuating a convertible tailgate according to claim 1 solved. Advantageous embodiments are specified in the subordinate claims.

The Essence of the invention is that the arrangement of a Boot lid, which has multi-joint hinges attached to a tubular frame, which in turn is movable with the Body connected and lockable by means of this lock is, and there is a motor drive, this drive one arranged in the plane -A-A-, is mounted by the body swivel motor.

The Shaft of this swing motor has at its two free ends each a firmly attached lever. About this lever is the shaft rotatably connected to the tubular frame in the manner that the tubular frame having two arms which are movably connected to the two levers so that a movement about the axes -X-X- and -Y-Y- as well as the axes X-X- and -Y-Y- is generated with each other. At least one of these booms has a locking pin.

At the body is next to the swing motor and near the boom at least arranged a locking means, in which the boom by means of this Locking pin is latched.

Of the Tubular frame is at its, the swivel motor opposite Side lockable.

The Equipping the tubular frame with a jib with locking pin causes that this when opening the trunk lid for the roof movement enters a vehicle-mounted latching means and so the tube frame and the shaft locked against each other when the Tubular frame has left the lock on the body, so that the tubular frame is then moved around the shaft of the swing motor.

at the opening the boot lid, for example, the trunk load, however, remain Swing motor and tube frame unmoved and thus the locking pin outside of the locking means.

About the inventive arrangement of the axes becomes -X-X- and -Y-Y- the tubular frame in the vehicle is clamped between the swivel motor and the lock, when the swivel motor in the closed position of Boot lid is.

This has the advantage that no tubular frame fasteners are necessary.

Furthermore Is advantageous that the swivel motor, the central storage of Pipe frame represents, so that additional / additional brackets are unnecessary, and that only two hydraulic lines are laid to the drive have to.

boom and locking means replace in the inventive arrangement also according to the state the technology necessary bearings and scenes, causing the drive assembly across from the state of the art of convertible tail away and thus from the crash-critical Area can be relocated.

The Invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the schematic drawing. It demonstrate:

1a : an embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention for actuating a convertible tailgate in the closed state in a schematic view (without body of the convertible),

1b the embodiment according to 1a in the open state for the convertible roof in a schematic view (without body of the convertible),

2a the embodiment according to 1a in a schematic side view,

2 B : a section from 2a (Range of the swing motor) and

3a -E: a schematic representation of a movement sequence of the embodiment according to 1a until opened according to 1b as a section (range of the swing motor) and as associated schematic side views.

In the 1 illustrated arrangement for actuating a convertible tailgate consists of a trunk lid 1 that has multi-joint hinges 2 on a tubular frame 3 is attached, in turn, movably connected to the body of the convertible (which is not shown here for reasons of clarity) and at this means by means of locking 4 lockable, and a motor drive.

The motor drive is arranged in the plane -A-, held by the body swivel motor 5 ,

About this swing motor 5 is the tube frame 3 connected to the body.

The tubular frame 3 is doing his, the swivel motor 5 opposite side by means of locking 4 lockable ( 1a ).

This in 2a and 2 B illustrated connection between the swing motor 5 and tubular frame 3 is by means of the wave 51 the swing motor 5 formed in which the two free ends of the shaft 51 each a firmly attached lever 52 own over which the wave 51 with the tube frame 3 is movably connected in the way that the tubular frame 3 two outriggers 31 which has the two levers 52 are movably connected, so that a movement about the axes -XX- and -YY- as well as the axes XX- and -YY- can be generated to each other.

According to the invention, at least one of the two arms has 31 a locking pin 32 ,

As a counterpart of this locking pin 32 is on the (not shown for reasons of clarity) body next to the swivel motor 5 and near the jib 31 at least one locking means 6 arranged, in which the boom 31 is latched.

In dissolved state of the lock 4 and operated swing motor 5 is an opening of the boot lid 1 for the roof movement thereby possible that with the boom 31 and locking pin 32 providing tubular frame 3 and the locking means 6 cause the locking pin 32 in the locking means 6 enters and so the tube frame 3 and the wave 51 locked against each other ( 1b ).

In the 3a to e, this opening movement is shown schematically in individual steps.

The in 3a shown state corresponds 1a , Here is the boot lid 1 closed and the tube frame 3 between locking 4 and the quiet swing motor 5 braced.

In 3b becomes the tubular frame 3 (in the operating state of the swing motor 5 ) moved out of the strained Übertotpunktlage and thereby the lock 4 solved. The locking pin 32 on the boom 31 of the tubular frame 3 moves thereby, by the swinging motor in operation 5 and due to the position of the axes -XX- and -YY- in the direction of the locking means 6 ,

In 3c is the tube frame 3 completely relaxed. The locking pin 32 is in the locking means 6 run in, leaving the tubular frame 3 with lever 52 and the wave 51 the swing motor 5 immovable to each other.

In 3d is shown as the swing motor 5 continues to rotate and, due to the rigid position of tubular frame 3 with lever 52 and wave 51 the swing motor 5 to each other, the trunk lid 1 lifts to the rear.

The in 3e shown state corresponds 1b , Here is the boot lid 1 fully open and allows a free convertible roof movement.
