Abstract

The proposed solution relates in particular to an object such. B. an electric scooter, with a fixing device for fixing the object (1) to a fixing surface (I) on a vehicle, wherein the fixing device comprises at least one fixing element (20) that is used to fix the object (1) starting from a fixing position the object (1) along an insertion direction (E) into a fixation opening (O) on the fixation surface (I).For example, it is provided that the fixation element (20) for transferring the fixation element (20) into the fixation position the object (1) is adjustable about a pivot axis (S) which is non-parallel to the insertion direction (E).

Description

The proposed solution concerns an object with the possibility of being fixed to a fixing surface on a vehicle.

The fixing surface can be, for example, an interior surface of the vehicle, such as a loading area of the vehicle interior, to which interior objects, eg in the form of vehicle seats, tables and/or center consoles, can be fixed. For example from the DE 10 2017 210 608 A1 it is known that such interior objects cannot be mechanically guided so that they can be adjusted on the interior surface. the the DE 10 2017 210 608 A1 proposes in this context, for example, to enable an interior object to be adjusted via an air cushion or via a rolling device. However, it remains unclear at which points such an interior object should be allowed to be fixed as intended and how such a fixing position is optionally specified.

From the DE 10 2004 046 070 A1 a fixing device for fixing interior objects to a fixing surface defined by a floor panel in a vehicle is also known. In this case, pin-shaped fixing elements in the form of locking pins engage in holes in the fixing surface and can be locked thereon in order to fix the interior object on the fixing surface. The fixing elements are mounted in a longitudinally displaceable manner on an interior object and, after the interior object has been positioned, can be manually inserted into suitable holes and locked thereon. For the positioning of an interior object in different positions, a plurality of holes are provided as fixing openings for the fixing elements, the holes being arranged in a grid on the floor panel.

From the WO 2021/013730 A1 a fixing device for fixing objects to a vehicle-side fixing surface is also known, in which an object-side fixing element, which is inserted into a fixing opening on the fixing surface, can be locked via a vehicle-side, displaceable locking element. In addition, it is provided that the fixed object can be connected to a vehicle-side power supply and/or electronics by means of an electrically conductive connection between the fixing element and an electrical connector of a vehicle-side locking device. The extent to which the fixing element can be accommodated in a protected manner on the object to be fixed when not in use is not explained in any more detail.

In this regard, the proposed solution is intended to provide a remedy and, in particular, to provide an improved possibility for integrating a fixing element on different objects to be fixed.

Against this background, an object with a fixation device according to claim 1 is proposed.

The fixation device serves to fix the object to a fixation surface on a vehicle, the fixation device comprising at least one fixation element, which is used to fix the object starting from a fixation position of the fixation element on the object (i.e. with the fixation element present in the fixation position on the object) along an insertion direction can be inserted into a fixing opening on the fixing surface. In order to transfer the fixing element into the fixing position, the fixing element can be adjusted on the object about a pivot axis that does not run parallel to the insertion direction.

The proposed solution is therefore based on the basic idea of making the fixing element adjustable on the object to be fixed, so that the fixing element must first be transferred into a fixing position on the object before the object can be fixed to the fixing surface of the vehicle. A pivot mounting of the fixing element offers the possibility of accommodating the fixing element when not in use in a simple manner to protect and also aesthetically appealing on the object and, if necessary, to move the fixing element into the fixing position in which the fixing element is then, for example, inserted into a fixing opening on the interior surface and can be locked here.

The fixing element is provided, for example, to interact with a vehicle-side locking device that is set up to lock the fixing element to the fixing opening and, if necessary, also to establish an electrical contact to a vehicle-side power supply and/or vehicle-side electronics. In this context, the fixing element can be provided to interact with a locking device, which comprises, for example, at least one locking element that can be adjusted transversely to the insertion direction and that can be adjusted into a locking position for locking the fixing element at the fixing opening, in which the locking element holds the fixing element against a Removal from the fixation port locks. For an electrical contact to a vehicle-side Power supply and/or electronics, the locking device can additionally provide at least one connector which can make electrically conductive contact with the fixing element inserted into the fixing opening. For this purpose, the fixing element can have a corresponding contacting area with at least one plug connector.

An embodiment variant is thus based on at least two separately adjustable elements for fixing the object on the vehicle-side fixing surface, an object-side fixing element and a vehicle-side locking element. In this case, the locking element is then, for example, itself adjustably mounted so that it only engages in a locking manner with the fixing element when the fixing element has been inserted into the fixing opening as intended. Provision can also be made here to enable an electrical connection between the fixing element and a connector on the vehicle with the aid of the locking device. If the object is fixed to a fixing surface as intended via a proposed fixing device, the object can also be connected to on-board electronics and/or power supply without the user having to connect an additional cable.

For example, the fixing element can be adjusted about a pivot axis running perpendicular to the insertion direction.

The fixing element is adjusted, for example, via a lever mechanism integrated on the object and/or with the support of at least one cable pull integrated on the object

In one embodiment variant, the fixing element on the object can be pivoted from a stowed position about the pivot axis into the fixing position. In an alternative embodiment variant, the fixing element on the object can be pivoted from a stowed position about the pivot axis into a usage position, with the fixing element on the object then only being able to be transferred from the usage position into the fixing position. The pivoting movement provided about the pivot axis can thus on the one hand be used to pivot or fold the fixing element from a stowed position on the object directly into the fixing position. Alternatively, an at least two-phase or superimposed adjustment movement of the fixing element from its stowed position into the fixing position on the object is possible. In the case of an at least two-phase adjustment movement, a pivoting movement of the fixing element can also be omitted in one phase. For example, the fixing element can be moved translationally from its position of use into the fixing position.

In principle, the fixing element can be adjustable about the pivot axis with a housing part, which is mounted on the object so that it can pivot about the pivot axis. The fixing element can be accommodated protectively on or in the housing part, at least in the stowed position. For example, the housing part is accommodated in a corresponding cavity or in a corresponding recess on the object when the fixing element is in its stowed position.

For example, the fixing element can be pivoted with the housing part out of its stowed position into the fixing position. The housing part thus pivots together with the fixing element attached to it from the stowed position into the fixing position.

Alternatively, the fixing element can be pivoted with the housing part from the stowed position into the usage position. This includes, in particular, the possibility that the fixing element is still protected on the housing part even in the usage position and is only exposed to the extent on the object by the subsequent displacement movement into the fixing position that the fixing element can be inserted into the vehicle-side fixing opening.

In principle, the fixing element can be mounted on the housing part in an adjustable manner, in particular in a translationally adjustable manner. Adjustability of the fixing element relative to the housing part can be used, for example, to be able to store the fixing element more compactly on the object when not in use.

In one embodiment variant, the fixing element can be pivoted with the housing part from the stowed position into the usage position about the pivot axis and then adjusted on and relative to the housing part from the usage position into the fixing position. In this case, the fixing element can then be at least partially extendable out of an exit opening on the object, for example with an adjustment from the usage position into the fixing position. Such an outlet opening can be provided on the housing part. Alternatively or additionally, the outlet opening can be formed on another component of the object, so that the fixing element emerges with its adjustment from the use position into the fixing position from an object-side outlet opening and thus for the locking of the object on the vehicle-side fixing surface becomes accessible. For example, the fixing element extended into its fixing position protrudes on one side of the object, for example an underside, which faces the interior surface when the object is in the fixed state as intended.

At least one actuating element can be provided for the mechanical and/or electronic control of an adjustment movement of the fixing element into its fixing position on the object. So that the fixing element is consequently transferred or can be transferred into the fixing position, the at least one actuating element must have been actuated beforehand. In this case, the actuating element can be provided on the object itself and in particular can be integrated thereon. Alternatively or additionally, an actuating element can be provided on a control component assigned to the object. This control component is then spatially separated from the object, for example. For example, the control component is provided as part of a remote control assigned to the object or a software application (“app” for short) assigned to the object on a mobile device.

In the case of an actuating element provided on the object side, an actuating force applied to the actuating element by the user can be converted mechanically into at least part of an adjustment force for adjusting the fixing element. If an electronic adjustment of the fixing element into the fixing position is provided in a controlled manner by actuating the at least one actuating element, the actuating element can be provided both on the object and on a control component assigned to the object. In the last-mentioned cases, the actuation of the at least one actuation element triggers an externally operated adjustment of the fixing element on the object. Referring to the embodiment variants already explained above, an adjustment of the fixing element from the stowed position to the fixing position or from the usage position to the fixing position can be dependent on a user actuation of the at least one actuating element. In the last-mentioned case, for example, the adjustment of the fixing element from the stowed position to the use position can be independent of actuation of the actuating element. However, in order for the fixing element to be transferred or to be able to be transferred from its usage position into the fixing position required for the fixing, a conscious actuation of the actuating element by the user is required beforehand.

For example, the at least one actuating element comprises an actuating lever. Such an actuating lever is pivotably mounted on the object, for example. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one actuating element can be coupled to an actuator (also called an actuator). Such an actuator can be actuated electrically, so that the actuation of the actuation element is accompanied by the generation of an electrical actuation signal for activating the actuator. In this embodiment variant in particular, the actuating element can consequently be designed with a button, head or switch on the object, a remote control or a software application.

In an embodiment variant, an elastic prestressing of the fixing element can be provided in its fixing position. This can mechanically support the desired assumption of the fixation position and thus a specific relative position for a subsequent fixation on the fixation surface. In particular, this can make it easier to lock the fixing element in the fixing position.

Alternatively, a pretensioning of the fixing element against an adjustment into the fixing position is provided. In such an embodiment variant, the fixing element is consequently elastically prestressed via at least one spring element on the object against displacement into the fixing position, so that the fixing element always strives to shift from the fixing position into a stowage position and/or a usage position. In a further development based on this, the fixing element can be displaced into the fixing position via the at least one actuating element against a prestressing force applied by the at least one spring element. Consequently, a sufficiently high actuating force must be applied by the user to the actuating element in order to convert the fixing element into its fixing position. If necessary, this actuating force must also be maintained until the object is fixed to the vehicle-side fixing surface. If a correspondingly high actuating force is no longer applied to the actuating element, the fixing element is shifted back into a use position or stowed position under the action of the at least one spring element. If the fixation element is not locked on the fixation surface, the fixation element is consequently moved under the action of the prestressing force from the fixation position, for example back into the usage position or the stowed position, as soon as a user no longer applies an actuating force to the actuating element.

At least one damping element can be provided on the object so that the fixing element is not reset suddenly into a use position or stowed position, but instead, for example, at a controlled speed. Such a damping element then reduces, for example, the speed at which the fixing element is reset from the fixing position, and thus also prevents reset and impact noises that the user may find unpleasant under certain circumstances.

In one embodiment variant, the object has at least two object components that can be adjusted relative to one another, the adjustment of which relative to one another is accompanied by an adjustment of the fixing element. For example, provision can be made for the two object components to be adjustable from a use position into a non-use position and for the object to be fixed to the fixing surface of the vehicle in the non-use position. Only when the object components are moved into the non-use position should it be possible to fix them to the fixing surface. In order to make this even easier for the user, the adjustment of the object components to the non-use position can also be accompanied by an adjustment of the fixing element, for example from the stowed position to the fixed position or from the stowed position to the use position. In this way, when the object is not in use, the fixing element is quickly available for fixing to the vehicle-side fixing surface if required.

A proposed object can fundamentally be designed in different ways. For example, an electric scooter, a cool box, a bicycle rack, a lashing strap attachment (in particular for an automatic and thus power-operated adjustable lashing strap), a vehicle seat, a child seat, an energy supply unit (e.g. in the form of a so-called energy cube), a center console, a table, a Dog transport box or a camping module can be provided as an object that is equipped with a proposed fixation device with a pivotable fixation element.

For example, one embodiment provides an electric scooter that can be folded from a position of use into a position of non-use, in which in the non-use position a fixing element is provided on a frame part of the electric scooter, via which the electric scooter is mechanically fixed to a fixing surface on the vehicle and, if necessary, also to a power supply at the same time and/or electronics of the vehicle can be connected.

The integration of a fixing element in an electric scooter, so that the electric scooter can be easily fixed to a vehicle-side fixing surface, is also advantageous regardless of the type of adjustability of the fixing element, especially since commercially available electric scooters do not integrate such a possibility. Accordingly, one aspect of the proposed solution also provides an electric scooter with a fixing device that includes at least one fixing element on a frame part of the electric scooter, wherein the fixing element on the frame part can be transferred from a stowed position into a fixing position. In the fixing position, the fixing element is provided for fixing the electric scooter on a vehicle-side fixing surface, with the fixing element being intended to be inserted along an insertion direction into a vehicle-side fixing opening for this purpose.

In principle, the electric scooter can also be further developed in accordance with the variants explained above.

The attached figures illustrate exemplary possible embodiment variants of the proposed solution.

Here show:

• 1 a side view of an embodiment variant of a proposed object in the form of an electric scooter, with a fixing device integrated on frame parts of the electric scooter for fixing the electric scooter to a fixing surface of a vehicle;
• 2 the electric scooter 1 in a folded non-use position, with the folding of the electric scooter being accompanied by a pivoting movement of a fixing element of the fixing device from a stowage position into a use position;
• 3 the electric scooter present in the non-use position with an actuating element provided thereon and actuated in order to move the fixing element on an underside of the electric scooter from the use position of the 2 extend into a fixing position, so that the electric scooter can be locked on a fixing surface in a loading space of a vehicle and can also be connected to a power supply and electronics of the vehicle.

the 1 shows a side view of an electric scooter 1 with two frame parts that can be adjusted relative to one another, a handlebar part 10 and a lower part 11. The handlebar part 10 carries a handlebar of the electric scooter 1 and its front wheel, while the lower part 11 provides a footboard for a user of the electric scooter 1 and the rear wheel of the electric scooter 1 carries. In particular, parts of an electric motor drive for the electric scooter 1 can be accommodated on one of the frame parts 10, 11 or both frame parts 10, 11.

The electric scooter 1 is in the in the 1 illustrated position of use mobile by a user. In order to be able to transport the electric scooter 1 in a compact manner, the two frame parts 11 and 10 can be folded towards one another about a rotary joint D. In order to provide a simple way of fixing the electric scooter 1 to a vehicle-side fixing surface and connecting it to a vehicle-side power supply and electronics in this folded state of the electric scooter 1, which corresponds to a non-use position (here also referred to as the transport position), the electric scooter 1 integrates a fixing device with a fixing element in the form of an adapter 20. This adapter 20 is designed and provided, for example, for interaction with a locking device, as is shown in FIG WO 2021/013730 A1 is suggested.

In the in the 1 illustrated position of use of the electric scooter 1, the adapter 20 is housed protectively in a housing part in the form of an adapter housing 2 on a connecting piece 12 of the frame parts 10, 11. This connecting piece 12 is part of the lower part 11 of the electric scooter 1. The swivel joint D, for example, is provided on this connecting piece 12.

If the electric scooter 1 in its non-use position according to the 2 transferred (possibly after releasing a corresponding locking of the frame parts 10 and 11), the frame parts 10 and 11 are folded about the pivot D towards each other. With this folding movement is a pivoting of the adapter housing 2 from one in the 1 illustrated stowage position accompanied in a use position. By mounting the adapter 20 in the adapter housing 2, the adapter 20 is also moved from a stowed position into a usage position when the electric scooter 1 is folded up. Here, the adapter housing 2 and the adapter 20 are pivoted together about a pivot axis S on the link part 10 .

In the usage position thus assumed, the adapter 20 in the adapter housing 2 is opposite an outlet opening 112 on an underside 111 of the lower part 11 . The pivoting movement about the pivot axis S when the frame parts 10 and 11 of the electric scooter 1 are folded together only causes the adapter 20 to be brought into a usage position with respect to the outlet opening 112, so that the adapter 20 on the underside 111 emerges from the outlet opening 112 in a fixing position can be extended. Such an exit is in the 3 shown.

The adapter 20 can be extended out of the outlet opening 112 in a translatory manner along an insertion direction E by actuating a hand lever 3 on the link part 10, so that the adapter 20 then protrudes on the underside 111 of the lower part 11 and is inserted along the insertion direction E into a fixing opening O in the vehicle can be. The hand lever 3 can be pulled manually. A correspondingly manually applied actuating force can be transmitted to the adapter 20 as an adjusting force via an adjusting mechanism 30 . The adjustment force to be applied for the linear adjustment of the adapter 20 via the actuation of the hand lever 3 can also be generated with the aid of a cable which is routed in the handlebar part 10 and/or the lower part 11 . In an alternative embodiment variant, an electrically driven actuator 30 is provided, which is controlled by actuating the hand lever 3 or a button or switch alternatively provided on the electric scooter 1 in order to allow the adapter 20 to be extended out of the outlet opening 112 by external force.

In the case of a mechanically controlled adjustment of the adapter 20, at least one spring element can be provided in the lower part 11, which counteracts an adjustment of the adapter 20 into the fixing position. Consequently, if the hand lever 3 is released by a user, the adapter 20 snaps back automatically and moves back into its use position according to FIG 2 and thus into the adapter housing 2. However, as long as the hand lever 3 remains pulled, the adapter 20 protrudes from the underside 111 of the electric scooter 1 in its non-use or transport position and allows it to be fixed as intended to an interior surface I of a vehicle.

Several fixing openings O can be provided on this interior surface I. If the extended adapter 20 is inserted into such a fixing opening O, a locking device can block the adapter 20 from being pulled out of the fixing opening O and thus temporarily fix the electric scooter 1 on the interior surface I. For example, an extended end of the adapter 20 has one or more retaining lugs 200 for this purpose Vehicle-side locking device can be reached behind or over to block the adapter 20 positively against being pulled out of the fixing opening O.

A contacting area 201 can also be provided on a shaft section 20A of the adapter 20 that is also inserted into the fixing opening O, via which electrical contacting is made possible when the adapter 20 is locked. For example, the contact area 201 has one or more plug connectors for this purpose, so that the electric scooter 1 can be connected to a power supply and electronics of the vehicle via the adapter 20 inserted into the fixing opening O, without additional wiring being necessary. In this way, the electric scooter 1 can not only be locked in the vehicle in a simple manner, but can also be connected to a voltage supply of the vehicle in order to charge a battery of the electric scooter 1 . In addition, a data connection to a data bus of the vehicle can be made possible via the adapter 20 and its contacting area 201, for example to display the state of charge of a battery of the electric scooter 1 on a display element of the vehicle, for example in the cockpit of the vehicle.

In the locked state as intended, the spring-loaded adapter 20 is also blocked against being returned into the adapter housing 2 . Releasing the hand lever 3 therefore only causes the hand lever 3 to fold back into an initial position. However, the adapter 20 itself remains locked within the fixing opening O until it is released via the vehicle's locking device.

Fixing the folded electric scooter 1 to the interior surface I by inserting the extended adapter 3 can also be made easier by at least one pre-centering lug on the adapter 20 or on the underside 111 of the lower part 11 .

At least one damping element can also be provided in the lower part 11 to limit the speed at which an adapter 20 that is preloaded in a resilient manner moves back into its adapter housing 2 .

In one embodiment variant, provision can also be made for the adapter 20 to be extended out of the exit opening 112 as soon as the electric scooter 1 is folded up—if a corresponding actuating element has been actuated beforehand. It is therefore not a separate adjustment from the position of use 2 into the fixation position 3 necessary. In another embodiment variant, the adapter 20 pivots when an actuating element, such as the hand lever 3 , is actuated, directly from a stowed position in the adapter housing 2 or the lower part 11 into a fixing position protruding on the underside 111 .

In addition, a fixing element in the form of the adapter 20, which can be transferred from a stowed position that protects the adapter 20 from environmental influences into a fixing position that can be used for fixing, in order to insert the adapter 20 along an insertion direction E into a fixing opening O, not only on an electric scooter 1 be provided. Rather, the proposed solution can also be used for other objects to be fixed to a vehicle, and thus, for example, to objects to be fixed to a wall or floor of a vehicle, such as a cool box, a bicycle stand, a lashing strap attachment, a vehicle seat, a child seat, a power supply unit, a center console, a table, a dog transport box or a camping module.

Basically, in the course of the proposed solution, an object to be fixed can be arranged in particular inside a vehicle, i.e. in an interior of the vehicle, or outside the vehicle. For example, the proposed solution includes attachment to a bicycle or electric scooter rack or on a pick-up loading area on the outside of the vehicle, as well as attachment to a floor surface or a side wall inside a vehicle.
