Description

The invention relates to an interior arrangement for a motor vehicle.

In motor vehicles, a variety of movable interior components, such as flaps, lids and the like, are usually provided to be used e.g. To lock storage compartments. Such interior arrangements, in which at least two interior components are relatively movable relative to one another, often have closure mechanisms in order to fix the two mutually relatively movable interior components together in a locking position. For example, glove box flaps for closing glove boxes often have mechanical closure mechanisms to reliably lock the glove box flaps in their closed position.

When locking such interior components, it may lead to undesirable Einrastgeräuschen, for example, when a locking bar abuts an end stop. Often rubber buffers or two-component solutions are provided to prevent or dampen such unwanted noise. Over the life cycle, however, such rubber buffers or two-component solutions are usually subject to wear, which is accompanied by an increasing loss of quality. As a result, the value impression of such a damped interior component over the life can be reduced. Furthermore, it can happen with increasing life, that due to the aforementioned wear on rubber buffers or two-component solutions, the noise attenuation.

The DE 32 02 641 A1 shows a mechanism for damping, suspension and buffering on Gleichpoliger magnetic base. On two different components, which are movable relative to each other, two magnets are arranged to each other such that their similar poles face each other, as a result, the two magnets repel each other.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a solution by means of which a particularly silent fixing of the two components to each other is made possible with two mutually relatively movable interior components.

This object is achieved by an interior arrangement for a motor vehicle having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments with expedient and non-trivial developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

The interior arrangement according to the invention for a motor vehicle comprises a first interior component and a second interior component, which can be positioned relative to one another in a locking position. Furthermore, the interior arrangement has a latch mounted on the first interior component, which is movable between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein a spring acts on the bolt with a spring force directed in the direction of the extended position. In addition, the interior arrangement according to the invention has a recess provided on the second interior component, into which the spring moves the bolt when the interior components are in the locking position, whereby the two interior components are fixed to one another. Finally, the interior arrangement according to the invention comprises a arranged in the region of the bolt first magnet and arranged in the region of a stop of the recess second magnet, which repel at least in the locking position and inhibit movement of the bolt into the recess against the spring force.

The two interior components of the interior arrangement are thus movable relative to one another. This means that at least one of the two interior components is movably mounted, whereby it is translational and / or pivotable. However, it is also possible for both interior components to be movably mounted, so that both can be translatory and / or pivotable. In any case, the two interior components can be positioned in a locking position relative to one another by moving either the first or the second interior component or moving both interior components. In the locking position, the two interior components preferably bear on one another and can be fixed to one another in this position by means of the bolt dipping into the recess.

The latch may be, for example, a locking bar and the recess may be a kind of locking hole into which the locking bar can dip in order to fix the two interior components arranged in the locking position to one another. Other shapes with respect to the bolt and the recess are also possible. Basically, the bolt and the recess are matched with respect to their shape to one another that the immersed in the recess latch can fix the two interior components in their locking position against each other form-fitting manner.

An essential aspect of the interior arrangement according to the invention relates to the first magnet and the second magnet, which repel at least in the locking position of the two interior components and thereby movement of the Lock bolt in the recess against the spring force inhibit. Without the first magnet and the second magnet, the spring force built up by means of the spring would ensure that the bolt dips into or snaps into the recess particularly quickly. As a result, it could happen that the latch on the stop of the recess, which is preferably the bottom of the recess, relatively noisy strikes. By providing the first magnet and the second magnet, which repel at least in the locking position of the two interior components, a noisy engagement or stop of the bolt is prevented at the recess. Because the fact that the first magnet and the second magnet repel each other, the dipping into the recess latch is repelled by the second interior component, as a result, a counterforce to the spring force is applied. Preferably, the first magnet is attached directly to the bolt, wherein the second magnet in the vicinity of the recess, for example directly below, is attached to the second interior component.

By means of the interior arrangement according to the invention, therefore, a solution is provided by means of which a particularly silent locking of the two interior components to each other in the locking position is made possible. By the first magnet and the second magnet locking or immersion of the bolt is strongly damped in the recess, so that unwanted latching noises of the bolt can be completely avoided or at least greatly reduced. The first magnet and the second magnet are subject to no mechanical wear, so that the value impression of the entire interior arrangement with respect to the locking noise remains constant over the life of the interior arrangement. The quality and value impression of the relatively movable interior components thus remains unchanged over the life. The aforementioned rubber buffers or two-component solutions can be dispensed with, at least with regard to damping the locking sound of the bolt in the recess.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that respective magnetic fields of the first magnet and the second magnet and the spring force are coordinated so that the caused by the spring movement of the bolt is stopped in the recess before the latch touches the stop of the recess. The first magnet and the second magnets are so coordinated with respect to their respective magnetic fields and their arrangement to each other that they neutralize the spring force applied by the spring so far that the moving into the recess latch is stopped in its movement, even before the bolt can touch the stop in the recess. A noisy striking of the bolt at the bottom of the recess, namely at the stop of the recess, can be reliably prevented.

The interior arrangement preferably comprises an actuating element, for example in the form of a lever or a button, by means of which the locking of the two interior components can be released. By means of this actuator so the bolt can be spent against the spring force in its recessed position, especially during the bolt dips into the recess. If then the actuator jerky be released, preferably the two magnets, so the first magnet and the second magnet, and the spring force coordinated so that even with a jerky release, the spring force is insufficient to bounce the latch on the stop of the recess to let. The actuator itself can be coupled with respect to its movement to the movement of the bolt, so that the actuator also performs no jerky movement due to the first and second magnet and noisily hit somewhere.

A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that a third magnet repelling the first magnet is arranged in the region of the second interior component, so that the latch is movable in a relative movement of the two interior components in the locking position without contact relative to the second interior component until the latch on the Recess is arranged. Grinding of the bolt on a surface of the second interior component can thereby be prevented. The third magnet and the first magnet repel one another so strongly that the latch is moved during a relative movement of the two interior components into and out of the locking position in a contactless manner relative to the second interior component. A noisy Entlangschleifen the bolt on the second interior component can be prevented. Instead, the latch slides non-contact due to the repulsive effect between the first magnet and the third magnet along the second interior component, while the two interior components are moved relative to each other, until the latch is disposed on the recess. In the locking position, the first magnet is no longer repelled or at least not repelled so much by the third magnet, so that the latch can dip into the recess in the manner described above in order to fix or lock the two interior components together. Due to the provision of the third magnet can also be prevented that a mechanical abrasion on the second interior component arises because It can be ensured that the bolt does not touch the second interior component during the relative movement of the two interior components.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the third magnet is arranged adjacent to the recess and abutting the first magnet during the movement of the bolt into the recess transversely to the effective direction of the spring force. Preferably, the recess is slightly wider than the bolt, so that the bolt can easily dip into the recess as soon as the two interior components have been arranged in their locking position to each other. By virtue of the fact that the third magnet is preferably arranged adjacent to the recess and pushes the first magnet transversely to the effective direction of the spring force during the movement of the bolt into the recess, it can be ensured that the bolt does not touch the recess delimiting side walls when immersed in the recess , As a result, the bolt thus dives into the recess without contact, which again contributes to enabling a particularly silent locking of the two interior components to one another. The fact that the bolt can dive into the recess without contact, it is also ensured that no mechanical abrasion caused by the relative movement of the bolt to the recess. This also contributes to ensuring that the quality impression of the interior arrangement is maintained for a particularly long time.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the first interior component is a flap which is pivotably mounted on the second interior component and which encloses a storage space in the locking position. The first interior component is preferably a glove compartment flap, wherein the storage space is a glove box. Alternatively, for example, it is also possible for the first interior component to be an armrest, wherein the second interior component is a section of a center console. By providing the magnets so a particularly noiseless locking a glove box flap or an armrest in the vehicle interior is possible.

According to a further alternative advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the first interior component is a translationally displaceable on the second interior component mounted cover which closes in the locking position enclosed by means of the second interior component storage compartment. By way of example, the first interior component may be a roller-blind component which can be displaced along the second interior component so as to close or release said storage compartment. Even in the case of a translational relative movement between the first interior component and the second interior component, due to the provision of the magnets, a particularly silent locking or fixing of the two interior components to one another is made possible. In particular, in the case of translationally relatively movable to each other trained interior components, it may also be provided that various fixing or locking positions are provided, and accordingly, a plurality of bars and associated recesses may be provided, wherein each mating of bolt and recess provided the corresponding arrangement of the magnets becomes.

Regardless of the type of the two interior components, the magnets used are preferably permanent magnets. For example, it may be bar magnets, which are aligned according to each other, so that the repulsive effect of the respective magnets can be achieved to each other. Each identical poles of the magnets are thus aligned facing each other, so that the repulsive effect between the respective magnets is achieved. Other shapes or types of magnets are also possible. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide electromagnets instead of permanent magnets, which have the advantage that the strength of their magnetic fields can be varied depending on the applied current. Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment and from the drawing. The features and feature combinations mentioned above in the description as well as the features and feature combinations shown below in the description of the figures and / or in the figures alone can be used not only in the respectively specified combination but also in other combinations or alone, without the scope of the invention to leave.

• 2 a schematic side sectional view of a section of the glove box, wherein a spring-loaded latch and an associated recess are shown, which serve to fix the glove box in its closed position; and in
• 3 another schematic side sectional view, in which the bolt and the recess are shown, wherein the latch dips into the recess and thereby locks the glove box in its closed position.

An interior arrangement 1 for a motor vehicle is in a perspective view in 1 shown. The interior arrangement 1 comprises a first interior component in the form of a glove box flap 2 which is a glove box 3 having. Furthermore belongs to the interior arrangement 1 nor a second interior component in the form of a housing 4 on which the glove box flap 2 is pivotally mounted. The housing 4 may for example be part of an unspecified instrument panel carrier. At respective opposite side surfaces 5 of the housing 4 are recesses 6 provided, in which respective at the glove box flap 2 arranged bars 7 can dive. At the glove box flap 2 So is based on the vehicle transverse direction on opposite sides in each case one of the bars 7 arranged. At an unrecognizable outside of the glove box flap 2 For example, an actuating lever may be mounted, by means of which the bolt 7 between a retracted position and the extended position shown here are movable. Preferably, the two bars 7 shaped slightly chamfered, so that they like a latch in the respective recesses 6 can reach.

In 2 is a section of the interior layout 1 shown in an enlarged schematic side sectional view, in which one of the two bars 7 and one of the two recesses 6 can be seen, even before the bolt 7 into the recess 6 is engaged. In the present illustration, it can be seen that the latch 7 is formed slightly bevelled. At the bar 7 grips a spring 8th on which a spring force F on the bolt 7 exercises. The feather 8th impinges on the bar 7 in the direction of its extended position with the spring force F. Solange the bolt 7 So no resistance is provided by the spring 8th for the latch 7 is moved to its maximum extended position.

In the case shown here is the glove box flap 2 been closed so far that the bolt 7 opposite from the side surface 5 is arranged. Inside the bolt 7 is a first magnet 9 arranged, with a second magnet 10 below a stop 12 the recess 6 is arranged. Furthermore, there is a third magnet 11 above the second magnet 10 and below the side surface 5 in the case 4 appropriate. The three magnets 9 . 10 . 11 are arranged to each other so that in each case the same magnetic poles of the first magnet 9 and the second magnet 10 and the first magnet 9 and the third magnet 11 facing each other. For example, the north pole of the first magnet shows 9 in the present case downward, in which case then the respective north poles of the second and third magnet 10 . 11 are aligned upwards.

The third magnet 11 which is adjacent to the recess 6 is arranged, pushes the first magnet 9 during the relative movement of the bolt 12 along the housing 4 from. As a result, during a closing movement of the glove box flap 2 made sure the latch 7 despite the applied spring force F not on the side surface 5 grinds along while the latch 7 in the direction of the recess 6 is moved. The glove box flap 2 As a result, it can be closed and opened with particularly low noise and wear.

In 3 is the interior layout 1 shown in a further schematic side sectional view, wherein the latch 7 now in the recess 6 is arranged because the glove box flap 2 in its locking position, ie in its closed position, has been moved. The inside of the bolt 7 arranged first magnet 9 and the one below the stop 12 arranged second magnet 10 bump into this locking position of the glove box flap 2 from. This will cause a movement of the bolt 7 into the recess 6 in against the spring force F inhibited. Respective magnetic fields 13 of the first magnet 9 and the second magnet 10 and the spring force F are coordinated so that the means of the spring 8th effected movement of the bolt 7 into the recess 6 is stopped, even before the bolt 7 the stop 12 the recess 6 touched.

So will the glove box flap 2 moved to its closed position, so ensures the spring 8th for that Latch 7 in the recess 6 is extended. The first magnet 9 and the second magnet 10 due to their arrangement and orientation with their facing similar poles ensure that the bolt 7 but not moved to its maximum possible extended position. The first magnet 9 and the second magnet 10 make sure that the latch 7 against the means of the spring 8th applied spring force F in its submerged movement in the recess 6 is stopped, even before the bolt 7 at the bottom of the recess 6 So at the stop 12 , can strike noisily.

The third magnet, not shown here 11 which, as shown in FIG 2 to the left of the recess 6 is arranged, pushes the first magnet 9 and thus the bar 7 transverse to the effective direction of the spring force F, while the bolt 7 into the recess 6 dips. The third magnet not shown in the present description 11 So make sure the latch 7 not on the unspecified side walls of the recess 6 strikes or slides along, while the bolt 7 into the recess 6 plunges. This is also a particularly noiseless locking and closing glove box flap 2 allows.

The above-described operation on the basis of a bolt 7 and the one recess 6 mirrored also applies to an opposite side of the glove box flap 2 of the housing 4 , Furthermore, the described operation of the latch 7 , the recess 6 , the feather 8th and the arrangement of the magnets 9 . 10 . 11 also find application in other pivotable interior components. In addition, the active principle can also be transferred to translationally movable interior components.
