Description

Technical area

The present development relates to a door assembly for opening and closing an opening or recess of a vehicle body.

background

Conventional motor vehicles, in particular vans, often have for loading lateral or rear-side openings or recesses in a motor vehicle body. Such openings are typically provided with a flap or with at least one door to close the rear opening or the side opening of the vehicle body. Sliding doors are mainly used for closing side openings.

The implementation of a corresponding sliding mechanism is sometimes quite expensive and therefore relatively expensive. Rear flaps are usually provided, which usually extend in one piece over the entire vehicle width. Alternatively, doors, typically with two door wings, may be provided. However, the provision of pivotally mounted door wings reduces the width of the opening to be closed with the doors. Door hinges require a relatively large amount of space, which can be at the expense of the width of the loading width and the loading volume to be provided.

One-piece flaps, for example at the rear of the vehicle, require compliance with relatively large distances to adjacent vehicles or other structural conditions. Otherwise such flaps are hardly open due to their size.

Against this background, it is an object of the present development to provide an improved flap arrangement for opening and closing an opening of a motor vehicle body, which is particularly simple and versatile, which requires relatively little space for an opening or closing operation and at the same time the part of the vehicle body provided load volume hardly or only slightly reduced. In particular, it is the objective of the flap arrangement to provide the greatest possible through-loading width in the region of a rear opening or a side opening of the vehicle body. For this purpose, the flap assembly should be implemented as inexpensively as possible and also have only a comparatively low weight.

Advantageous embodiments

This object is achieved with a flap arrangement for opening and closing an opening of a motor vehicle body according to the independent protection claim 1 and with a motor vehicle body according to claim 14 and with a motor vehicle according to claim 15.

Accordingly, the flap assembly comprises a first flap segment and a second flap segment. The second flap segment is pivotally connected to the first flap segment. The first flap segment is slidably mounted with a second flap segment facing away from the end portion along a guide. Furthermore, the second flap segment is slidably mounted along the guide with an end portion facing away from the first flap segment. The guide is on the body side and thus arranged stationary. The first and the second flap segment are in this case arranged displaceably on one and the same guide, in particular in order to transfer the flap arrangement formed by the first and second flap segment from an open position into a closed position; and vice versa.

Characterized in that the first and the second flap segment are directly pivotally connected to each other and characterized in that in some embodiments, only the opposite end portions of the first and second flap segment are mounted permanently displaceable on the guide, an open position of the flap assembly is made possible, in which the mutually facing end portions of the first flap segment and the second flap segment emerge from a plane formed by the guide.

The described type of guidance of the first and second flap segment on the fixed guide allows a kind of folding of the first and second flap segment at or before reaching an open position, or Endöffnungsstellung.

Further, since both, both the first and the second flap segment are each slidably mounted on the guide with its end portion remote from the respective other flap segment, a particularly universal use and operability of the flap arrangement results. Due to the displaceable mounting of both the first flap segment and the second flap segment along the guide, at least two completely different open positions of the flap arrangement can be realized.

In a flap arrangement arranged one above the other in the vehicle vertical direction Flap segments, these can be opened, for example, upwards by the lower, that is, the second flap segment is pushed upwards. Alternatively, the flap assembly can also be opened downwards, namely by the upper, that is, the first flap segment is moved down. Any displacement of one of the flap segments is typically accompanied by a pivotal movement of the respective flap segment as well as the flap segment pivotally connected thereto.

In other types of flap arrangements with in the vehicle transverse direction or vehicle longitudinal direction adjacent flap segments, an opening can be made either from left to right and from right to left.

According to a further embodiment, the first flap segment and the second flap segment in a closed position, one above the other or adjacent to one another, close the opening of the motor vehicle body. In the closed position, the first flap segment and the second flap segment adjoin one another with their mutually facing end sections. In the closed position, the mutually facing end portions of the first and second flap segment are also in the region of the guide.

In this case, the first flap segment and the second flap segment are located substantially completely in the plane predetermined by the guide or defined by the guide. In the closed position, the first and the second flap segment lie in the plane predetermined by the guide and thus close the opening of the motor vehicle body. Typically, the first and second flap segments are stacked or juxtaposed.

In the closed position, the first and the second flap segment are typically arranged without overlapping on the guide. In other words, the second flap segment forms an extension or continuation of the first flap segment and vice versa. Both flap segments complement each other in terms of area to such a size, which corresponds approximately to the cross section of the opening of the motor vehicle body. In this way, the first and the second flap segment can completely close the body opening upon reaching the closed position.

According to a further embodiment, the first flap segment and the second flap segment in an open position or partial open position can be transferred. In this, the adjoining end portions of the first flap segment and the second flap segment are released from the guide. They are also spaced from the guide. The immediate pivotal connection of the first and second flap segment and a permanent guidance of opposite end portions of the first and second flap segment on one and the same guide makes it possible to fold the flap segments to transfer to the partial open position or in the full open position at least partially to each other. This allows a particularly space-saving opening and closing movement.

According to a further embodiment of the second flap segment facing away from the end portion of the first flap segment is releasably fixed to the guide. When releasing a fixation of the second flap segment facing away from the end portion of the first flap segment is still displaced along the guide. He is also in constant engagement with the leadership. The release of a fixation means here only that the second flap segment facing away from the end portion of the first flap segment is also displaceable along the guide. In a fixed configuration, the end portion of the first flap segment facing away from the second flap segment is firmly anchored to the guide and can not be moved along the guide.

A fixation of the second flap segment facing away from the end portion of the first flap segment on the guide is particularly advantageous when the second flap segment is to be moved along the guide, about to transfer the second flap segment from bottom to top in a partial open position or Endöffnungsstellung.

According to a further embodiment, the end portion of the second flap segment facing away from the first flap segment is detachably fixable to the guide. Also, releasing a fixation causes the end portion of the second flap segment facing away from the first flap segment to be displaced along the guide. A fixation of the first flap segment facing away from the end portion of the second flap segment on the guide causes the second flap segment is fixed to the guide, so that only the first flap segment along the guide is displaceable.

Such a configuration is suitable, in particular, for bringing about a partial open position or end open position in which the opening on the side of the second flap segment is released. In a stacked arrangement of first and second flap segment may be provided to shift the second flap segment upwards, while the first, arranged above the second flap segment flap segment fixed with its end portion on the guide and therefore only pivotally mounted on the guide, but immovably mounted on this.

It is particularly provided that the opposite end portions of the first and second flap segment are fixed alternatively or alternately on the guide and released from the guide. Loosening here means not completely releasing the guide, but merely releasing a sliding movement along the guide. Regardless of this, however, it is also conceivable to simultaneously release or release a fixation of the end sections facing away from the first and second flap segments.

According to a further embodiment of the flap arrangement, a locking of the first flap segment to the guide in the region of the second flap segment facing away from the end portion is achieved for a transfer from the closed position to the open position, while the first flap segment remote from the end portion of the second flap segment is fixed to the guide. Alternatively, it can be provided for the transfer from the closed position into the open position to release a locking of the second flap segment on the guide in the region of its end portion facing away from the first flap segment, while the second flap segment facing away from end portion of the first flap segment is fixed to the guide, or remains fixed.

In this way, a reciprocal and optional fixation of the respective mutually remote end portions of the first and second flap segment can be realized. If, for example, the end section of the first flap segment facing away from the second flap segment is fixed to the guide, the second flap segment can be moved in the direction of the first flap segment along the guide, typically being displaced translationally along the guide. The typically articulated connection of first and second flap segment then inevitably leads to a pivoting of the first flap segment when transferring the flap assembly from the closed position to the open position; and vice versa.

The alternating or alternating locking of the first and second flap segment, in each case in the region of its end section facing away from the respective other flap segment, permits a versatile and universal use of the flap arrangement. In this way, in particular, only portions of the closable by means of the flap assembly opening of the vehicle body can be opened or released as needed for loading and unloading.

According to a further embodiment, the guide has two mutually parallel guide rails, on which the mutually remote end portions of the first flap segment and the second flap segment are guided displaceably. The guide rails typically run on opposite side edges of the opening of the vehicle body to be closed by means of the flap arrangement. The guide rails can z. B. along or substantially parallel to the vehicle vertical axis (z).

Here, the flap segments are arranged one above the other on the guide rails. The first flap segment is in the closed position above the second flap segment. For transferring from the closed position into the open position of the flap arrangement, either the first flap segment can either be displaced downwards or else the second flap segment can be displaced upwards in order to bring about a different opening position.

The flap assembly is by no means limited to implementation on a vehicle rear. It can equally be arranged on a side wall of the motor vehicle or the motor vehicle body and configured accordingly. Both in a lateral and in a rear arrangement is conceivable that the guide rails of the guide not necessarily vertical, that is, along the vehicle vertical axis, but also horizontally, can run.

In a rear-side arrangement and in the horizontal course of the guide is provided that the guide rails in the vehicle transverse direction (y). One of the guide rails can be arranged at a lower boundary of the opening. The other guide rail may form an upper boundary of the opening or be arranged thereon.

In an embodiment as a lateral flap arrangement, the guide rails can likewise be aligned either horizontally, that is to say in the vehicle longitudinal direction (x) or else vertically, that is to say substantially in the vehicle vertical direction (z).

The design of parallel guide rails proves to be particularly cost-effective. It is also relatively space-saving implementable. Also, a particularly robust and durable opening and closing mechanism for a motor vehicle opening can be provided by means of the opening edge limiting guide rails. Since the flap assembly with the first and Second flap segment is configured in several parts, can be largely dispensed with complicated and trouble-prone leadership or sliding mechanisms.

According to a further embodiment, it is further provided that the first flap segment in the region of its end portion facing away from the second flap segment has two guide members which project laterally from the first flap segment and which are guided longitudinally displaceably in the guide. The guide members may be formed, for example, in the form of guide cams or guide rollers, which are firmly connected to the respective flap segment. The guide members are typically mounted positively in the guide rails of the guide. In this way results in a permanent longitudinally displaceable storage of first and second flap segment on the body-side guide.

According to a further embodiment, the second flap segment in the region of its end portion facing away from the first flap segment on two laterally projecting from the second flap segment guide members, which are guided longitudinally displaceably in the guide

The geometric extension of the first and second flap segment substantially corresponds to the distance between the parallel guide rails. By the guide members provided on the first and second flap segments protrude laterally from the flap segments, they can be positively mounted in the guide rails, while the flap segments occupy substantially completely the gap between the guide rails upon reaching the closed position of the flap assembly and close accordingly.

It is typically contemplated that each of the flapper segments has only a single guide member on one side and that each of the flapper segments has another guide member on an opposite side. The guide members are also typically located at one end portion of a flap segment which faces away from the other flap segment. In this way results in the region of the guide members a pivotable mounting of the respective flap segment on the guide or on the guide rails forming the guide.

In this respect, the management members have a dual function. With activated fixation or locking of the flap segment, in particular its guide member on the guide or on the respective guide rail, the guide member acts quasi as a pivot axis or as a hinge axis. When dissolved fixation or dissolved locking of the guide member with respect to the guide or the guide rails, the relevant guide member acts as a longitudinally displaceable guide member, by means of which the relevant flap segment can slide along the guide.

According to a further embodiment, the first flap segment is pivotally connected by means of at least one hinge with the second flap segment. The at least one hinge connects the mutually facing end portions of the first flap segment and the second flap segment. It can also be provided in the transition region between the first flap segment and the second flap segment several hinges or a film hinge. The at least one hinge, which pivotally connects the first and second flap segments to each other, is typically located outside the guide.

Only with reaching a closed position, the at least one hinge, or can be with the hinge directly mechanically coupled to each other end portions of the first and second flap segment approximately in the predetermined by the leadership level. With beginning or onset of opening movement and due to an incipient displacement of the first and / or second flap segment along the guide reaches the at least one hinge, or reach the hinged directly coupled end portions of the first and second flap segment in a region which outside of the Leadership predetermined or defined level lies.

Due to the multi-part design of the flap assembly having at least a first and a second flap segment, the movement of the plane of the guide is limited to the corresponding length of the flap segment. The length of a flap segment along the guide in the closed position thus defines a minimum distance to adjacent objects, vehicles or structural conditions, which is mandatory for the opening of the flap assembly. By means of a segmentation of the entire flap arrangement effected by means of first and second flap segments, that minimum distance can be significantly reduced in comparison to one-piece flap arrangements.

The present development is further not limited to the implementation of only a first and a second flap segment. It is particularly conceivable that the flap arrangement has a plurality of flap segments, for example also four or six flap segments.

According to a further embodiment, the guide has an arc section with a curved course. Typically, the curved portion or arc portion of the guide is located at an upper end of the guide, especially when the flap assembly is configured as a rear-end flap assembly and when the guide extends substantially in the vehicle vertical direction. The curved section can be provided in particular in an upper end region, in particular in the transition from the rear into a roof structure of the motor vehicle body. In this way, the flap assembly can also meet predetermined styling or design requirements easily.

If the guide has an arc section, it is further provided according to a development that at least one of the flap segments has a curvature adapted to the arc section of the guide. Typically, the flap segments are designed more or less rectangular in the form of flat panel elements. However, if the guide has an arc section, it is advantageous for closing the motor vehicle opening if at least one of the flap segments has a curvature adapted to the curved section of the guide. In this way, a complete closing of the opening can be achieved, in particular in the region of the curved portion of the guide. On the basic mobility and pivoting of the first and second flap segment, this has almost no influence.

According to a further embodiment, at least one of the first and second flap segment has a viewing window. A viewing through the entire flap arrangement can be provided by means of a viewing window integrated in the first flap segment and / or in the second flap segment. An otherwise possibly given obstruction can be counteracted in this way.

According to a further aspect, a motor vehicle body is further provided with a rear opening and / or with a side opening. The motor vehicle body further comprises at least one previously described flap arrangement, which is arranged on the rear opening and / or on the side opening.

Furthermore, according to a further aspect, a motor vehicle with a previously described motor vehicle body is provided. The motor vehicle can be designed in particular as a van, pickup truck or minivan.

Detailed description

That in the 1 to 6 shown motor vehicle 1 is configured, for example, as a van or minivan. It has a motor vehicle body 2 with a cargo space 3 on. In the present embodiment shown is at the rear 4 of the motor vehicle 1 an opening 5 intended. This is with a flap arrangement 10 lockable and openable. The flap arrangement 10 has at least two flap segments 12 and 14 on. In the embodiment shown, the first flap segment 12 configured as the upper flap segment, while the second flap segment 14 is designed as a lower flap segment.

In the in 1 shown closed position S are both flap segments 12 . 14 far in parallel aligned. They are arranged in the closed position S without overlapping side by side or one above the other. The first flap segment 12 and the second flap segment 14 are by means of at least one hinge 31 . 32 pivotally connected to each other. For example, here are two hinges 31 . 32 provided, as in 6 will be shown. By means of the hinges 31 . 32 are the first flap segment 12 and the second flap segment 14 permanently pivotally connected.

The first flap segment 12 as well as the second flap segment 14 is also each with a respective other flap segment 14 . 12 opposite end portion 11 . 15 slidable on a guide 20 stored. The leadership 20 can, as in 6 shown, for example, two longitudinally extending and parallel aligned guide rails, in this case a left guide rail 21 and a right guide rail 22 exhibit. The two guide rails 21 . 22 and therefore the leadership 20 , form a lateral boundary of the opening 5 at the stern 4 of the motor vehicle 1 , The clear width between the guide rails 21 . 22 corresponds approximately to the extension of the flap segments 12 . 14 ,

At a second flap segment 14 opposite end portion 11 of the first flap segment 12 are two laterally from the first flap segment 12 protruding guide members 23 . 24 intended. The left guide member 23 is engaged with the left guide rail 21 , The right guide member 24 is engaged with the right guide rail 22 ,

Equally, the first flap segment is also the one 12 opposite end portion 15 of the second flap segment 14 slidable on the guide 20 , therefore on the guide rails 21 . 22 stored. For this purpose, the second flap segment 14 also two of opposite side edges of the respective flap segment 14 protruding guide members 25 . 26 on how these in 2 are merely indicated. As shown in FIG 6 is the left guide member 25 of the second flap segment 14 with the left guide rail 21 engaged. The right guide member 26 of the second flap segment 14 is located with the right guide rail 22 engaged.

In 6 It is further shown that at least one of the flap segments, in the present case somewhat the first flap segment with a viewing window 16 is provided.

For transferring the flap arrangement 10 from the in 1 shown closed position in the in 2 shown partial opening position into the in 3 shown complete open position O it is provided, the first flap segment 12 with his the second flap segment 14 opposite end portion 11 at the lead 20 to fix. At the same time, a possible locking of the second flap segment on the guide 20 to solve. Then, for example, the second flap segment 14 on the first flap segment 12 to be moved.

In the embodiment shown, this is done by the second flap segment 14 that is the lower flap segment 14 is shifted upwards. Since the flap segments 12 . 14 are rigid in itself, requires a displacement of the end portion 15 of the second flap segment 14 a pivoting movement of both the second flap segment 14 as well as the hinged first flap segment 12 , The hinges 31 . 32 as well as the mutually facing end portions 12a . 14a the first and the second flap segment 12 . 14 step out of the leadership 20 level.

In particular, the mutually facing end portions 12a and 14a from the first flap segment 12 and second flap segment 14 at least slightly backwards from the guide 20 from. Upon reaching an opening position O according to 3 can be the first and the second flap segment 12 . 14 be far-reaching folded. The guide members 25 . 26 of the second flap segment 14 can be in close proximity to the leaders 23 . 24 of the first flap segment 12 to come to rest. It is also conceivable, the second flap segment 14 in the in 3 shown opening position either with its guide members 25 . 26 at the lead 20 to fix or the two reaching to the plant first and second flap segments 12 . 14 to connect with each other in the in 3 hold open position shown.

In the 4 and 5 is another way to operate the flap assembly 10 shown. This is provided, the second flap segment 14 by means of its guide members 25 . 26 to fix on the leadership. Accordingly, the first flap segment 12 by means of its guide members 23 . 24 from a lock on the guide 20 to solve. In the solved configuration, the guide links 23 . 24 along the guide 20 slide down so that the entire first flap segment 12 undergoes a downward movement resulting in both the first flap segment 12 as well as the second flap segment 14 perform a kind of pivoting movement or scissor movement until a in 5 shown end open position is occupied, in which both the first and the second flap segment 12 . 14 at a lower area of the guide 20 are located.

For the locking of the opposite end portions 11 . 15 from the first flap segment 12 and second flap segment 14 at the lead 20 can one in the 9 and 10 example shown locking 40 . 42 be provided. As further in 1 clarified, are the upper guide links 23 . 24 of the first flap segment 12 with a lock 40 coupled, while the lower guide links 25 . 26 with a lock 42 can be locked or fixed with respect to or on the guide.

The lock 40 . 42 according to 9 is shown in a plan view and greatly simplified from above. The lock 40 respectively. 42 may be a spring-loaded fixing 44 , For example, in the form of a U-shaped hook or shackle. The fixing element 44 has an example curved U-shaped arc section 47 on. An end of the bow section 47 goes into a free and comparatively short leg 46 above. An opposite end of the bow section 47 goes into a comparatively long, elongated leg 45 above. At the end of the thigh 45 is a widened facility 49 or a stop for return element 48 intended.

The reset element 48 For example, it can be designed as a compression spring, which strives to the fixing element 44 in the in 9 hold shown fixing position, in which a free end of the short leg 46 of the fixing element 44 with a recess 43 in an end face of the guide member shown by way of example 43 interacts.

The fixing element 44 is contrary to the restoring force of the return element 48 from the in 9 shown basic position or locking position in an in 10 shown release position convertible. The fixing element 44 is for example in the longitudinal direction of the leg 45 slidable on the body 2 , especially in close proximity to the guide 20 or guide rail 21 slidably mounted. By a sliding movement of the fixing 44 against the action of the return element 48 gets the thigh 46 out of engagement with the recess 43 on the guide member 23 ,

As a result, the guide member along the guide rail 21 which perpendicular to the plane of the paper according to 9 and 10 runs, be moved. The fixing element 44 is stationary on the body 2 stored. Is the thigh 46 , as in 9 shown with the guide member 23 in engagement, this can only as a rotation axis for a mere pivotal movement of the respective flap segment 12 act. That the guide member 23 associated flap segment 12 but not along the guide 20 be moved.

The further embodiment of a flap arrangement 100 according to the 7 and 8th Functionally similar to those in the 1 to 6 will be shown. The shape of the leadership 120 However, is different from the embodiment according to the 1 to 6 no longer strictly straightforward. Rather, the leadership points 120 in its upper part an arc section 123 on. While the bottom of the guide 120 is almost vertical and straight, goes an upper end of the guide 120 over the arch section 123 in the roof structure of the body 2 of the motor vehicle 1 above.

The flap arrangement 100 also here has a first upper flap segment 112 and an adjacent lower flap segment 114 on. Both flap segments 112 . 114 are in the to 6 described manner along a guide formed by two parallel guide rails 120 slidable at the rear 4 of the motor vehicle 1 guided. A the first flap segment 112 opposite end portion 115 of the second flap segment 114 is movable in the guide 120 stored.

Accordingly, also the second flap segment 114 opposite end portion 111 of the first flap segment 112 slidable on the guide 120 stored. In contrast to the embodiment according to the 1 to 6 has the first flap segment 112 one the bow section 123 corresponding to the leadership or hereby corresponding vaulting 116 on, so in the in 7 shown closed position S one at the rear 4 of the motor vehicle 1 located opening 5 as tight as possible can be closed. As already to the 1 to 6 portrayed, are the first flap segment 112 and the second flap segment 114 in the region of their mutually facing end sections 112a . 114a by means of at least one hinge, preferably by means of several hinges 31 . 32 permanently pivotally connected.

The illustrated embodiments show only possible embodiment of the development to which further numerous variants are conceivable and within the scope of development. The exemplary embodiments shown are in no way to be construed as limiting the scope, applicability or configuration possibilities of the development. The present description merely shows the person skilled in the art a possible implementation of an exemplary embodiment.
