DE102006061831A1 - Cabriolet vehicle e.g. multi-seated vehicle, has cover part staying smaller in opened opening position during release of opening for roof, and larger in moved opening position during release of load opening in spite of similar movements - Google Patents

Abstract

The vehicle (1) has a roof (2) stored above a cover part (8), which serves in a dual function for partially covering a receiving area (7) for the roof and a luggage compartment. The cover part is movable in same kinesthesia for releasing an opening for the roof into or from the receiving area and for releasing a load opening for luggage. The cover part stays smaller in an opened opening position during release of the opening for the roof and stays larger in a moved opening position during release of the load opening, in spite of similarity of the movements.

Description

The The invention relates to a convertible vehicle having a below one Lid portion storable roof, with the lid part in double function for at least partially covering a receiving space for the roof and a luggage room serves, after the generic term of claim 1 or claim 4.

It is known to provide on Cabriolet vehicles cover parts that cover a receiving space for the roof and a trunk in the closed position. In this case, such cover parts can swing in a first opening direction towards the front to release a loading opening for luggage, and swing in an opposite opening movement to the rear to release a passage opening for the roof. Such a solution is known for example from the Mercedes SLK. Alternatively, it is also possible aufzuschwenken the cover part both for the release of the loading opening for luggage and for the release of the passage opening for the roof in the same sense and to move for both release functions in each case the same open position. Such a solution is about in the DE 100 28 405 B4 disclosed. Here, the cover part is connected via multi-joints on the body and opens in both opening movements far up and to the rear, so that a very large space for movement of the lid part is required.

Both Types of lid parts also require a long backwards Notchback, what the design options in vehicle design limits.

Of the Invention is based on the problem, an extension of the design options while avoiding the o. g. To achieve disadvantages.

The Invention solves this problem by a convertible vehicle with the features of claim 1 and claim 4, individually or in combination with each other. advantageous Embodiments and developments of the invention are in the other Claims 2 and 3 and 5 to 10 indicated.

In The training according to claim 1 is for a cover part, the opening functions mentioned for both opens in the same direction, opens up the possibility nevertheless to achieve two different opening positions making a particularly large opening for the loading and unloading of bulky luggage opened and the lid part in this release position of the loading opening for luggage so wide open that one Pushing the head of a laden person reliably is prevented. This is especially true if advantageous the lid part in this open position upon release of the loading opening for Luggage does not protrude beyond the rear edge of the vehicle. A person with his legs at the rear bumper is, is then removed with her head from the open lid part. At the same time, however, due to the reduced opening height in the release of the passage opening for the Roof the upstairs space required for the roof opening minimized, leaving the roof opening or closing Also in garages or underground garages is easily possible. This is especially true if advantageous the cover part in the first Open position upon release of the passage opening for the roof at least nearly the height of the closed roof not towered over. The normal roof height limited then the height of the vehicle during the roof movement.

In The training according to claim 4 is an adaptation of such Rear lid part also on hatchback vehicles, often also called hatchback vehicles achieved. A notchback is despite the double function of the cover part no longer necessary. The cover of the roof receiving space at least towards the rear through the lid part is still preserved.

For These cover parts, it is particularly advantageous if the almost horizontally lying area in plan view U-shaped is and outside of the closed lid part after front side wings stretched between these only one includes narrow connecting bar, the smallest possible Extension in the vehicle longitudinal direction has.

At this can be done with the roof closed to the front of the lower end a rear window immediately adjacent. Immediately after started opening the cover part can begin the lowering movement of the roof. The Roof opening time is very short.

If the covering part of the roof from a front, in the closed Condition subsequent to a windshield frame Plate part of the roof is formed, a common roof opening kinematics be maintained, in which the front roof part with its outside can be deposited upwards.

Especially Advantageously, a rear part of the roof comprises a rear window, with the roof closed and with the lid part closed or at to release the loading opening for luggage open lid part is up swivel bar, which another separate entrance to the luggage room opened is about to stow small parts.

However, this opening does not have to open the cover part which opens to the rear with a component, so that access is also possible close parking situations is usable.

Especially can advantageously the cover part to release a loading opening for luggage to be swung up and in this position the tilted rear window below the lid part and partially covered by this be covered. Then Can the cover part, without a frame for the rear window to be struck below this on the bodywork and still in its open position, the additional swinging allow the rear window, which makes a particularly large loading opening over the entire Hatchback area of the vehicle approximately from the upper Roof surface results to the bottom area. The lid part can also be posted laterally.

The Roof can be several consecutive and inherently rigid or at least comprise a respective rigid frame having plate parts and thus forming a so-called Retractable Hardtop (RHT).

Further Advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the drawing schematically illustrated and described below embodiments the subject of the invention.

In the drawing shows:

1 a schematic side view of a convertible vehicle according to the invention in front and bottom broken view with the roof closed and lid part closed and closed rear window,

2 the vehicle after 1 in at the release of the loading opening for luggage in its second open position swung-lid part,

3 the vehicle after 2 in addition separately in the covered by the lid part space rear window,

4 the vehicle after 1 in at the release of the passage opening for the roof in its first open position pivoted-lid part,

5 a similar view as 4 with the cover part in the first open position during the roof opening,

6 a similar view as 5 with the roof completely open and then the cover part closed,

7 a similar view as 6 when pivoted in its second open position cover part to release the loading opening for luggage, similar 2 but now with the roof open,

8th to 11 an alternative embodiment of a convertible vehicle according to the invention with laterally hinged cover part, therein

8th the vehicle with the roof closed in a schematic perspective view obliquely from behind,

9 a similar view as 8th with the roof closed and the lid open,

10 a similar view as 9 with additionally opened rear window to maximize the loading opening,

11 a similar view as 10 with the roof open and lid part still open.

The cabriolet vehicle according to the invention 1 can, as indicated in the illustrated embodiment, either be provided with at least one rear seat four- or multi-seat vehicle or a two-seater. The hatchback training is common in both the small and compact car area as well as in off-road vehicles or vans.

The total here movable and in the closed position directly or indirectly to a windshield frame 3 subsequent roof 2 comprises a plurality on its outer surface separated from each other and provided with at least one rigid frame or a total plate-shaped units 4 . 5 . 6 , Alternatively, it is possible that the roof parts are coated in the manner of a soft-top with a common reference.

In any case, the roof 2 in a rear-side recording room 7 can be deposited, at least partially by a cover part 8th can be covered. This cover part 7 acts in double function to at least partially cover the recording room 7 for the roof 2 and a luggage room 9 , the roof closed 2 the recording room 7 can include.

The lid part 8th is both to release a passage opening 10 for the roof 2 in or out of the recording room 7 as well as to release a loading opening 11 for luggage in the same sense of motion is aufbeweglich, namely such that its rear edge is raised up and forward. This can be possible in the simplest case via a pivoting movement with a degree of freedom about a vehicle-fixed transverse axis. Here is a four-bar linkage with handlebars 20 . 21 provided so that the cover part 8th with his with the roof closed 2 in front whose edge can be moved upwards in open position and also backwards ( 3 ).

Despite the similarity of the respective opening sense, the open end positions of the cover part differ 8th : This is on release of the passage opening 10 for the roof 2 held in a less widely opened first open position than when releasing the loading opening 11 for luggage, in which the lid part is then in a second, continue to move open position.

According to the drawings, the cover part 8th upon release of the passage opening 10 for the roof 2 opened by less than 45 ° ( 4 . 5 ), whereas when releasing the loading opening 11 for luggage is opened more than 90 ° ( 7 )

As in 4 can be seen projects beyond the cover part in the first open position to release the passage opening 10 for the roof 2 the height of the closed roof 2 not or at least almost not. An abutment of the open lid part of the ceiling about an underground car park is thus excluded.

In the second open position to 7 to release the loading opening 11 for luggage, however, is the lid part 8th pivoted so far that it does not protrude or at least almost not over the rear edge of the vehicle. The danger of a person loading himself on the open lid part 8th can bump his head is minimized on the one hand by the large opening angle and the high open position, on the other hand, but also by the case taking place forward displacement of the lid part. A person with his legs on the bumper 12 stands, finds in the head area because of the forward displacement of the lid part 8th then no obstacle.

In detail, the lid part 8th - Also regardless of the two different opening positions - designed to allow the design of a hatchback vehicle according to the embodiment so that this is an upright rear panel part 13 includes and at its upper end 14 forward at most one such substantially horizontal area 15 connects, outside of possibly protruding side wings 16 has an extension in the vehicle longitudinal direction of less than ten centimeters. The vehicle 1 can thus manage without notchback. The lid part 8th then cover the recording room 7 essentially only to the rear, so that in open roof position part of the roof 2 even the discarded roof package over a substantial part of its extension upwards covers. Here, in the closed roof condition, it forms the foremost, when closed, to a windshield frame 3 subsequent plate part 4 in the open state, the cover of the underlying roof parts 5 . 6 out ( 6 ).

The almost horizontal upper area 15 of the lid part 8th is, however, in plan view only U-shaped, so that a large central area is released and here outside of the closed lid part 8th forwardly extended side wings 16 between these only a narrow connecting bridge 17 remains.

This borders in the illustrated embodiment with the roof closed 2 towards the front to the lower end of a rear window 18 directly on, which can be separately movable in a frame or frameless.

The rear window 18 is part of the rear part 6 of the roof 2 and hinged here at its upper edge pivotally.

With the roof closed 2 and with the lid part closed 7 is the rear window 18 swung up to the rear to allow quick access to the luggage compartment 9 to allow without much effort.

In addition, even with the roof closed 2 and in to release the loading opening 11 for luggage open lid part 8th ( 2 ) the rear window 18 swung upwards ( 3 ). This results in a particularly large loading opening 11 , which - as in a closed construction of a hatchback vehicle - extends from the bumper to the upper roof surface. Nevertheless, this is not necessary from top to bottom through tailgate, but the lid part 8th extends in the closed position only approximately from the horizontal plane of the window sill 19 downward.

Since the lid part to release the loading opening 11 for luggage is swinging far up and the narrow connecting bar 17 , leaves a considerable space is below the open lid part 8th Room to the rear window 18 so aufzuschwenken that this partially from the rear panel 13 of the lid part 8th Covered and nested in this is, as in 3 becomes clear. Also the swung-out rear window 18 ends with its rear edge within the vehicle contour and does not protrude beyond the rear. Also in this position a maxi mated loading opening 11 Therefore, the risk of injury to the head is minimal. In addition, the double cover forms the loading opening 11 from lid part 8th and rear window 18 a weather protection during loading or unloading.

To this position after 3 to reach, is from the closed position to 1 first the lid part 18 in his wide open two te opening position after 2 swung open, then the rear window opened underneath ( 3 ).

According to the 8th to 11 Alternatively, the lid part 22 for example, also be struck laterally. Again, the rear window 18 be aufschwenkbar, thereby a flexibilization and maximization of the loading opening individually or in common opening with the lid part 22 to reach. The lid part 22 here essentially comprises only one cover 23 towards the back. Nevertheless, the features of claims 4 to 8 can also be realized here.

The lid part 8th can also with the roof open in the same way to release a - then reduced - loading opening 11 be swung open ( 7 ) and here in the same end position as in 2 reach.
