Description

The invention relates to a lock logic arrangement of a motor vehicle lock arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1, such a motor vehicle lock arrangement according to the preamble of claim 17, an actuating arrangement with such a motor vehicle lock arrangement according to claim 19 and a motor vehicle lock arrangement according to the preamble of claim 20.

In the present case, the term "motor vehicle lock arrangement" encompasses all types of door, hood or flap lock arrangements.

The motor vehicle lock arrangement in question is equipped with a lock logic arrangement on the one hand and a locking mechanism on the other hand. As part of the comfort increase, the possibility of electrically opening the barrier becomes increasingly important. At the same time, for a high level of operational safety in the event of an emergency, in particular in the event of a crash, it is required that the blocking mechanism not only be able to be opened by motor, but also purely manually. This is also called "mechanical redundancy".

The known lock logic arrangement of a motor vehicle lock arrangement ( DE 196 31 869 A1 ), from which the invention proceeds, is equipped with a lock control for control-technical, ie electrical implementation of lock settings such as "unlocked", "locked", "child-proof" and "theft-proof". On the sensory detectable operation of an outside door handle and an inside door handle controls the lock control in response to the lock settings on an opening drive of the barrier. This is done in such a way that the lock in the lock setting "unlocked" both from the outside and inside, in the lock setting "locked" from the inside, but not from the outside, in the lock setting "child-proof" not from the inside, but from the outside and in the lock setting "theft-proof" can not be opened either from the inside or from the outside.

In the known lock logic arrangement all lock settings are not only control technology, ie electrically, but also mechanically implemented, so that in case of failure of the supply voltage of the electrical system, the respective lock settings are always provided mechanically. For this purpose, the mechanical lock settings are regularly tracked one-to-one with the electrical lock settings.

The mechanical redundancy encompassing all electrical lock settings is structurally relatively complex. In the known lock logic arrangement, the actuator for producing the mechanical lock settings simultaneously serves as an opening drive for the locking mechanism, which often complicates the structural design of the motor vehicle lock assembly.

The invention is based on the problem of designing and further developing the known lock logic arrangement such that a structural simplification of the overall structure of the motor vehicle lock arrangement results overall.

The above problem is solved in a lock logic arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

The invention is based on the finding that a lock logic arrangement which can be used with a locking mechanism with an opening drive can provide a reduced mechanical redundancy with respect to the outside door handle without jeopardizing the operational safety of the motor vehicle lock arrangement. As a result, the structural design of the lock logic arrangement as such can be simplified.

Specifically, it is proposed that the lock mechanism indeed provides the mechanical lock setting "emergency off" and the mechanical lock setting "emergency on" and that the lock mechanism by means of the associated actuator from the mechanical lock setting "emergency off" in the mechanical lock setting "emergency on" adjustable is. However, a return effected by the actuator resetting the lock mechanism from the mechanical lock setting "emergency on" in the mechanical lock setting "emergency off" mechanically and / or control technology excluded. This simplifies the structural design of the lock logic arrangement in so far as drive technology measures for the return of the lock mechanism are not provided.

With the proposed solution, a complete mechanical redundancy is possible, as far as the inside door handle is concerned. For the outside door handle mechanical redundancy is only once, namely in an emergency, provided. This takes into account the fact that a complete mechanical redundancy with a synchronous tracking of the mechanical lock settings for the interior of the motor vehicle, ie for the inside door handle, is of greater importance than for the exterior of the motor vehicle, ie for the outside door handle. An interior user must be able to open the locking mechanism both manually and manually from any situation.

In principle, the adjustment of the lock mechanism into the lock setting "emergency on" can be triggered by a sensor, in particular a crash sensor. A provision in the lock setting "emergency off" can be provided according to claim 2 via a manually operated return mechanism. Thus, after the occurrence of the emergency, a restoration of the normal operating state of the motor vehicle lock assembly in a simple manner manually possible.

In order to implement the mechanical internal redundancy of the door inner handle, the lock mechanism according to claim 3 in addition to the mechanical lock settings "internally secured" and "innenentsichert" can be brought. This allows the inside door handle to be mechanically deactivated or activated.

In the particularly preferred embodiment according to claim 5, the lock setting "emergency on" can be produced by a motorized adjustment of an actuating element of the actuator in a first direction of movement. The alternate production of the lock setting "internally secured" or "internally locked" can be produced by a provision of the actuating element from a central position out in a second, the first direction of movement opposite direction of movement. Thus, it is in principle possible that an alternately producing the lock settings "innenentsichert" and "internally secured" can thereby produce that the actuator is motor-driven adjusted in the middle position and then reset spring-driven (claim 7). Here it is clear that the alternately producing the lock settings "internally protected" and "internally secured" and the emergency conditional manufacture of the lock setting "emergency on" can be realized by a drive motor, which is unidirectionally coupled drive technology with the actuator (claim 9). This leads to a particularly simple structural and therefore cost-effective design of the lock logic arrangement.

The implementation of the lock settings "emergency on" and "emergency off" can go back to claim 10 that the lock mechanism has a clutch for the production of a switchable mechanical connection of the outside door handle with the barrier. This is advantageous because all measures for the realization of mechanical redundancy in the lock mechanism are summarized.

However, it may also be advantageous according to claim 11 that the outside door handle has an activation unit, which allows the forwarding of a manual operation of the outside door handle to the locking mechanism only in the activated state. Thus, the mechanical redundancy is at least partially laid in the outside door handle, which further simplifies the structural design of the lock logic assembly.

In the further preferred embodiment according to claim 13, the lock logic assembly on an electric lock control for controlling the opening drive of the barrier. In principle, the lock control can also be part of a superordinate, in particular central, motor vehicle control system.

According to a further teaching according to claim 17, which has independent significance, the motor vehicle lock arrangement is claimed as such with a proposed lock logic arrangement. All versions of the lock logic arrangement may be referred to.

According to a further teaching according to claim 19. The also belongs to independent significance, an actuator assembly with an outside door handle, a door inner handle and a proposed motor vehicle lock assembly is claimed. Also in this respect may be made to all statements on the proposed motor vehicle lock arrangement and the proposed lock logic arrangement.

According to another teaching according to claim 20, which also belongs to independent significance, a motor vehicle lock assembly is claimed with a lock logic assembly and a barrier, wherein the motor vehicle lock assembly is mechanically coupled in the assembled state with an outside door handle and a door inner handle.

The lock logic arrangement has a lock mechanism with an actuator, wherein the lock mechanism by means of the actuator in mechanical, at least partially combinable lock settings can be brought, wherein the locking mechanism in the mounted state depending on the mechanical lock settings by a manual operation of the inside door handle and the outside door handle can be opened manually, wherein the locking mechanism has an opening drive, by means of which the locking mechanism can be opened.

Essential to the further teaching is that at least a part of the lock logic assembly, here and preferably the lock mechanism of the lock logic arrangement, is designed separately from the barrier.

The latter, further teaching means a structural simplification of the barrier, which must have only the opening drive in addition to the closing elements, as well as the lock logic arrangement, the actuator now can be designed independently of the barrier. In particular, it is possible with this separation to provide an above-mentioned, unidirectional drive engineering coupling between the drive motor and actuator. Reference may be made to all statements relating to the above teachings, which does not necessarily concern the latter teaching that the reduced mechanical redundancy is realized according to the first-mentioned teaching. Incidentally, all statements on the above-mentioned teachings apply accordingly to the latter teaching.

In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing illustrating only embodiments. In the drawing shows

1 in a very schematic representation of a motor vehicle door, which is associated with a proposed motor vehicle lock arrangement with a proposed lock logic arrangement, in a first embodiment,

2 the lock mechanism of the lock logic assembly according to 1 .

3 in a very schematic representation of a motor vehicle door, which is associated with a proposed motor vehicle lock arrangement with a proposed lock logic arrangement, in a second embodiment and

4 the lock mechanism of the lock logic assembly according to 3 ,

The proposed solution is shown in the drawing in only a very schematic representation. In this case, continuous connecting lines between individual components each represent a mechanical connection, while dashed connecting lines each represent an electrical connection. At least a part of the mechanical connections are in each case realized by a remote power transmission means, in particular by a Bowden cable, a cable pull, a transmission rod or the like.

It should also be noted in advance that the term "manual actuation" always stands for an actuation, which directs a user movement via a mechanical connection to the relevant component and triggers a mechanical adjusting movement there. The term "sensory detected actuation" means that an actuation action of the user is detected by sensors and is electrically forwarded to a control component that triggers a corresponding control-technical reaction.

In the first place is the lock logic arrangement 1 a motor vehicle lock assembly 2 in the foreground, which for the two embodiments in 2 or in 4 is shown.

The structural design of the motor vehicle lock assembly 2 is for the two embodiments in 1 respectively. 3 shown. From these representations it follows that the motor vehicle lock arrangement 2 next to the lock logic arrangement 1 a barrage 3 comprising, the associated motor vehicle door 4 o. The like. In its closed position holds. An opening of the barrier 3 causes the release of the vehicle door 4 o. The like. Such that the motor vehicle door 4 o. The like. Can be adjusted in the opening direction.

The motor vehicle lock arrangement 2 is in the illustrated, assembled state mechanically with an outside door handle 5 and a door inside handle 6 coupled via which here and preferably a manual and electrical or sensory detected actuation can be performed.

The castle logos arrangement 1 has a lock mechanism 7 on that with an actuator 8th Is provided. The lock mechanics 7 can be adjusted by means of the actuator 8th bring into mechanical, at least partially combinable lock settings. In the illustrated, assembled state, the locking mechanism can be 3 depending on the mechanical lock settings by a manual operation of the outside door handle 5 and the inside door handle 6 open manually.

It may be noted that the illustrated lock logic arrangement 1 Particularly advantageous application is in a motor vehicle lock arrangement 2 , during normal operation, a motorized opening of the barrier 3 is provided and in which an above-mentioned mechanical redundancy is provided, in an emergency, for example in the event of a crash, a manual opening of the barrier 3 allows. With such a structural design, the mechanical redundancy is provided by the proposed lock logic arrangement 1 , in particular by their lock mechanism 7 , realized. Due to the special design of the lock logic arrangement 1 especially show in such a motor vehicle lock assembly 2 with mechanical redundancy the above-mentioned structural advantages.

It is essential first that the lock mechanics 7 by means of the actuator 8th in a mechanical lock setting "emergency off", in which a manual operation of the outside door handle 5 is freewheeled or blocked, and in a mechanical lock setting "emergency on", in which a manual operation of the outside door handle 5 the barrage 3 opens manually, is adjustable. This makes it possible to use the outside door handle 5 activate mechanical redundancy when an emergency occurs.

Interesting now is the fact that one of the actuator 8th causes reset the lock mechanism 7 from the mechanical lock setting "emergency on" in the mechanical lock setting "emergency off" mechanically and / or control technology, here in the manner to be explained exclusively mechanically, is excluded. This means that no constructional precautions have been taken to reset the lock mechanism 7 implement. Given the fact that the outside door handle 5 concerned, mechanical redundancy strictly speaking only in an emergency, especially in the event of a crash, must be activated, can be accepted that the provision is not comfortable by means of the actuator 8th can be accomplished.

One way to get one from the actuator 8th causes reset the lock mechanism 7 From the mechanical lock setting "emergency on" in the mechanical lock setting "emergency off" in the sense proposed exclude control technology, could consist in that after the production of the lock setting "emergency on" the electrical supply of the actuator 8th until further notice is interrupted. Other control measures are conceivable here.

For the return of the lock mechanism 7 in the lock setting "emergency off" after an emergency, various options are conceivable. Here and preferably it is the case that the lock mechanism 7 from the mechanical lock setting "emergency on" to the mechanical lock setting "emergency off" can be reset by a manual reset operation. This is preferably a return mechanism 9 provided, which is operable by the user or by workshop personnel. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the return mechanism 9 key-operated, so that the provision is easily possible and at the same time there is a protection against abuse. It is conceivable in this context that a housing 10 the lock mechanics 7 has an opening through which, possibly with a tool such as a screwdriver o. The like., A provision of the lock mechanism 7 can be done.

In addition to the mechanical lock settings "emergency on" or "emergency off", the lock mechanism can be used 7 in the mechanical lock setting "internally secured", in which a manual operation of the inside door handle 6 is freewheeled or blocked, and in the mechanical lock setting "innenentsichert", in which a manual operation of the inside door handle 6 the barrage 3 opens manually, bring. The lock settings "internally secured" and "internally locked" are required if the lock settings mentioned above are "child-proof" and "anti-theft", as far as the inside door handle 6 affected, should be realized.

It follows from the representations in the 2 and 4 that the actuator 8th a drive motor 11 and a drive motor 11 downstream actuator 12 having, wherein by an adjustment of the actuating element 12 the lock mechanics 7 in at least a part of the mechanical lock settings can be brought. The actuator 12 is here and preferably to an actuator axis 12a swivel designed. In principle, this can also be a linearly adjustable adjusting element. The actuator 12 has an actuator pin 12b auf, in still to be explained, controlling manner with other components of the lock mechanism 7 can be brought into engagement.

In general, it is the case that the outside door handle 5 depending on the lock settings via a first actuating strand 13 manually on the barrage 3 interacts while inside the door handle 6 depending on the lock settings via a second actuating line 14 manually on the barrage 3 acts. By means of the actuator 8th let the two actuating strands 13 . 14 targeted disconnect and / or lock by also to be explained coupling measures.

The representations according to the 2 and 4 can be further seen that an adjustment of the control element 12 from the illustrated starting position 15 out in a first direction of movement, here clockwise, in an emergency position 16 associated with the manufacture of the mechanical lock setting "emergency on". In the actuator located outside the emergency position 12 is always the lock setting "emergency off" before.

Starting from the middle position shown in the drawing 17 goes a provision of the control element 12 in a second, the first direction of movement opposite direction of movement, here counterclockwise, alternately with the production of the lock setting "internally secured" and the production of the lock setting "inside unlocked" accompanied. Here is the middle position 17 , as can be seen from the drawing, between the starting position 15 and the emergency position 16 located.

The respective positions 15 . 16 . 17 are in the drawing by dotted, with respect to the pivot axis 12a shown radial lines on which the pin 12b when reaching the respective position 15 . 16 . 17 comes to a stop.

Preferably, it is such that the alternate production of the lock settings "internally secured" and "internally protected" exclusively by the provision of the actuating element 12 in the second direction of movement is possible. This ensures that the adjustment of the control element 12 from the starting position 15 out in the first direction of movement in the emergency position with no change in the lock setting "internally secured" or "innenentsichert" goes along.

It may be noted that it is at the starting position 15 , in the emergency position 16 and in the middle position 17 not have to deal with a single position, but that areas can be defined that represent the respective position.

Here and preferably, it is such that a switching mechanism 18 is provided with the actuator 12 is coupled or coupled and the, here and preferably exclusively, in an above-mentioned provision of the actuating element 12 switches between at least two mechanical switching states. Such a switching mechanism 18 is generally referred to as a ballpoint pen mechanism or toggle mechanism.

It is further preferably a clutch 19 for switchable in the assembled state mechanical connection of the inside door handle 6 with the barrage 3 provided by means of the actuating element 12 , here and preferably via the switching mechanism 18 , is switchable. The clutch 19 is like in the 2 and 4 indicated, so made that they depend on the switching state of the switching mechanism 18 a mechanical connection of the inside door handle 6 with the barrage 3 manufactures or does not produce and thus the switching state "internally protected" or "internally secured" manufactures.

The switching mechanism 18 is the 2 and 4 with a control lever 18a and an output lever 18b fitted. The control lever 18a can be resilient in 2 deflect in a clockwise direction, causing each deflection of the control lever 18a the output lever 18b in each other in 2 upper or lower position changes. This corresponds to the two above-mentioned, mechanical switching states of the switching mechanism 18 , By connecting the output lever 18b with the clutch 19 the clutch changes 19 in one the connection with the inside door handle 6 producing or non-producing state. The shape of the control lever 18a is made such that an adjustment of the actuating element 12 from the starting position 15 out in the first direction of motion no change in the switching state of the switching mechanism 18 causes a provision from the middle position 17 out in the second direction of movement, however, a change in the switching state of the switching mechanism 18 and thus causes the change of the lock setting between "internally secured" and "internally protected".

In the illustrated and so far preferred embodiment, the drive train between the drive motor 11 and the actuator 12 not designed self-locking, so that the actuator 12 with the drive motor switched off 11 is adjustable. Further preferably, the actuating element 12 in the biasing direction 20a spring biased such that the actuator 12 , driven by its spring preload, is adjustable. In detail, it is so that the actuator 12 in the second direction of movement, in the 2 and 4 counterclockwise, is biased so that the actuator 12 , driven by its spring bias, is resettable. In the illustrated and so far preferred embodiment, the spring bias of the actuating element 12 so strong that the spring preload the actuator 12 with the drive motor switched off 11 from the middle position 17 out to the starting position 15 transferred, which corresponds to an above-mentioned change between the switching setting "internally secured" or "internally secured".

For the realization of the spring preload of the actuating element 12 are numerous advantageous variants conceivable. In the illustrated and insofar preferred embodiments is the actuator 12 a coil spring 20 associated with a corresponding spring bias in the biasing direction 20a generated.

In both illustrated embodiments, it is such that the actuating element 12 in normal operation only between the initial position 15 and the middle position 17 is adjusted.

Approaching the middle position takes over the drive motor 11 , where the targeted approach to the middle position 17 from the starting position 15 out by means of short-circuit braking of the actuator 8th , here by means of short-circuit braking of the drive motor 11 , is provided. It is preferable that the actuator 12 a sensor switch, in particular a micro-switch, is assigned, whose switching in the corresponding position of the actuating element 12 the short-circuit braking triggers. For this purpose, the sensor switch in the supply lines of the drive motor 11 be switched so that the short-circuit current passes through the sensor switch. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that the short-circuit braking is triggered timed.

Basically, for the motor starting the middle position 17 but also a pure time control conceivable. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided that starting the center position 17 takes place against a blocking element, wherein the start of the emergency position 16 then takes place with increased drive speed and / or increased drive torque, so that the blocking element can be passed over accordingly. The blocking element is designed accordingly yielding. The above start of the middle position 17 in block mode is preferably combined with an above timing. Other possibilities for approaching the middle position 17 are conceivable.

It follows from the above explanations that the drive motor 11 by the realization of the spring bias of the actuating element 12 exclusively in one direction of movement, namely in the first direction of movement, of the actuating element 12 on the actuator 12 must work. Accordingly, it is provided to reduce the design effort that the drive motor 11 Driven unidirectional with the actuator 12 is coupled, so that the driving force of the drive motor 11 on the actuator 12 just in one direction of movement, here in the first direction of movement, acts. A particularly robust and so far preferred embodiment provides that the drive technology coupling between the drive motor 11 and the actuator 12 a flexible traction device 21 , here and preferably a rope has. Alternatively, it may be in the flexible traction means 21 to act a band, a chain or the like. The illustrated embodiment of the drive train is so far particularly cost-effective and at the same time mechanically robust, since the flexible traction means 21 on a drive shaft of the actuator 8th , here on the motor shaft of the drive motor 11 , is windable. As a result, a high gear ratio can be achieved without complex gear stages, in particular spur gear stages, are required.

For the production of the mechanical lock settings "emergency off" and "emergency on", the two exemplary embodiments show two preferred variants. Incidentally, all statements on the two embodiments apply mutatis mutandis.

The first variant is the representation according to 2 remove, in which the lock mechanism 7 a clutch 23 for switchable in the assembled state mechanical connection of the outside door handle 5 with the barrage 3 having, wherein the clutch 23 by means of the actuating element 12 is switchable. This is the clutch 23 with a control lever 23a equipped, the adjustment of a corresponding adjustment of the coupling state of the clutch 23 causes. An adjustment of the control element 12 from the starting position 15 out into the emergency position 16 causes an adjustment of the control lever 23a the clutch 23 in 2 down, eliminating the mechanical connection of the outside door handle 5 with the barrage 3 will be produced. In the in 2 upper position of the control lever 23a the clutch 23 is the outside door handle 5 from the barrage 3 mechanically separated.

The second variant for the production of lock settings "emergency on" and "emergency off" shows 4 in which a permanent mechanical connection 24 between the outside door handle 5 and the barrage 3 is provided. However, the outside door handle points 5 in this preferred embodiment, an activation unit 25 on, in an activated state, in which a manual operation of the outside door handle 5 to the barrage 3 (or the lock mechanism, not shown here) is passed, can be brought. Further, the activation unit 25 in a deactivated state, in which a manual operation of the outside door handle 5 is blocked or free running, bringable. In normal operation, it is such that the activation unit 25 is in the deactivated state, so that a manual operation of the outside door handle 5 is just blocked or free running.

Interesting about the second variant is now the fact that the lock mechanism 7 an activation lever 26 comprising, by means of the actuating element 12 over the cone 12b is adjustable and in the assembled state with the activation unit 25 the outside door handle 5 is mechanically coupled. This coupling ensures that the activation unit 25 by means of the actuating element 12 can be activated as soon as the actuator 12 the emergency position 16 reached. Thus, the coupling or blocking function, which is required for the production of the lock setting "emergency off" or "emergency on", in the outside door handle 5 misplaced what the structural design of lock mechanics 7 further simplified.

It has already been noted that one of the actuator 8th causes reset the lock mechanism 7 is mechanically and / or control-technically excluded from the mechanical lock setting "emergency on" in the mechanical lock setting "emergency off". In the present case this is realized purely mechanically, by a locking arrangement 27 is provided, which in an adjustment of the actuating element 12 engages in the emergency position and a provision from the emergency position out, so a production of the lock setting "emergency off" locks. The catch arrangement 27 indicates on the control element 12 angeordntetes locking element 27a on, when reaching the emergency position with the resilient counter-locking element 27b engages and leads to the production of a latching connection. This snap connection can be with the previously mentioned return mechanism 9 pick up slightly, as an actuation of the return mechanism 9 to a deflection of the counter-latching element 27b in 2 upwards and thus the release of the locking element 27a causes. Other variants for the realization of the return mechanism 9 were explained above.

It has also been noted that the proposed lock logic arrangement 1 especially in connection with a barrier 3 can be used, which can be opened by a motor. Accordingly, it is preferable that the barrier 3 the motor vehicle lock assembly 2 an opening drive 28 for motorized opening of the barrier 3 having the outside door handle 5 and the inside door handle 6 can be actuated sensory detected. This means that an operation of the outside door handle 5 or the inside door handle 6 sensory, here via a handle sensor 29 at the outside door handle 5 and a handle sensor 30 at the door inside handle 6 , is detectable. A manual operation of the outside door handle 5 and the inside door handle 6 is not absolutely necessary for sensory detection. For example, it may be in the handle sensors 29 . 30 to act contact sensors that the contact of a user's hand on the respective door handle 5 . 6 to capture.

When fitting the barrier 3 with an opening drive 28 indicates the lock logic arrangement 1 next to the lock mechanics 7 also an electric lock control 31 for controlling the opening drive 28 on the one hand and the actuator 8th on the other hand. It is the case that the lock control 31 in various electrical, at least partially combinable with each other lock settings can be brought, wherein the barrier 3 in the assembled state depending on the electrical lock settings of the lock control 31 by a sensory detected operation of the outside door handle 5 and the inside door handle 6 by means of the opening drive 28 can be opened by motor.

While the mechanical lock settings of the lock mechanism 7 the mechanical condition of the lock mechanism 7 describe the electrical lock settings of the lock control 31 preferably in an electronic memory of the lock control 31 saved. Depending on the memory state of the memory of the lock control 31 lets go of the barrage 3 by a sensory detected operation of the outside door handle 5 and the inside door handle 6 by means of the opening drive 28 open motor.

Accordingly, the lock control can be 31 in the electrical lock settings "unlocked" and "locked" and bring in at least one of the electrical lock settings "child-proof" or "theft-proof", as mentioned above in a memory of the lock control 31 are stored. A change in the electrical lock settings is thus always with a renewed change and / overwriting the contents of the memory of the lock control 31 associated.

Ideally, the mechanical lock settings are consistent with the electrical lock settings such that the behavior of the motor vehicle lock assembly 2 with respect to a manual operation and an electrical operation does not differ. In that regard, it is preferable that the lock control 31 by controlling the actuator 12 the electrical Schloseinstellungen the mechanical Schoseinstellungen at least partially nachführt. However, this is not entirely possible with the proposed solution, as a provision of the lock mechanism 7 is mechanically and / or control technology excluded from the lock setting "emergency on" in the above sense, in order to achieve the advantages of the invention can. Accordingly, it is provided in a particularly preferred embodiment that the lock control 31 the mechanical lock settings track the electrical lock settings only insofar as the inside door handle 6 affected by the respective lock settings. The outside door handle 5 remains in normal operation, as described above, in a mechanically deactivated state, so that a manual operation of the outside door handle 5 in normal operation no effect on the barrier 3 Has.

Basically, it is conceivable that the lock control 31 the actuator 8th for the mechanical lock setting "emergency on" to a user input. In a particularly preferred embodiment, however, such a control is provided when the lock control 31 an emergency signal, in particular a crash signal, from a sensor 31a , here and preferably a crash sensor, and / or receives from a higher-level control. The reception of the emergency signal is particularly simple when the emergency signal is available via a CAN bus of the motor vehicle.

In the illustrated and insofar preferred embodiments, the lock mechanism 7 on the one hand and the barrage 3 on the other hand designed separately from each other. Preferably, the mechanical coupling between the lock mechanism 7 on the one hand and the barrage 3 On the other hand via a remote power transmission means, in particular via a Bowden cable, a cable, a transmission rod o. The like. Provided. Furthermore, it is preferably such that the lock mechanism 7 a housing 10 and the barrage 3 a housing 32 having, wherein the two housings 10 . 32 preferably again designed separately from each other. In the case 10 the lock mechanics 7 Basically, the above-mentioned lock control 31 be housed.

Basically, it is also conceivable that the lock mechanism 7 and the barrage 3 are combined to form an assembly, which are housed on a common carrier and / or in a common housing. Also the lock control 31 can be part of this module. It may be advantageous by the simplified structural design here, the actuator 8th to use twice, namely on the one hand for the production of the mechanical lock settings of the lock mechanism 7 and on the other hand for motorized opening of the barrier 3 ,

According to another teaching, which has independent significance, the motor vehicle lock arrangement 2 claimed as such. On all designs that are suitable, the motor vehicle lock assembly 2 to explain, may be referenced.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism 3 the motor vehicle lock assembly 2 an opening drive 28 on, by means of which the blocking mechanism 3 open. It is preferable that the barrier 3 the locking elements latch 33 and pawl 34 wherein the opening drive 28 with the pawl 34 is coupled to their lifting drive technology. Incidentally, the closing elements lock latch act 33 and pawl 34 together in a conventional manner. This is indicated accordingly in the drawings.

According to another teaching, which also has independent significance, is an actuator assembly with an outside door handle 5 and a door inside handle 6 as well as with a proposed motor vehicle lock arrangement 2 claimed. Again, reference may be made to the above statements, as far as they are suitable, the outside door handle 5 , the inside door handle 6 and the motor vehicle lock assembly 2 to explain.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the outside door handle 5 with an above-mentioned activation unit 25 fitted. Also in this regard may be made to the above statements.

According to another teaching, which also has independent significance, a motor vehicle lock arrangement 2 with a lock logic arrangement 1 and a barrage 3 claimed, wherein the motor vehicle lock assembly 2 in the assembled state mechanically with an outside door handle 5 and a door inside handle 6 is coupled. The castle logos arrangement 1 has a lock mechanism 7 with an actuator 8th on, with the lock mechanism 7 by means of the actuator 8th in mechanical, at least partially combinable with each other lock settings can be brought. The barrage 3 can be, as explained above, in the assembled state, depending on the mechanical lock settings by a manual operation of the outside door handle 5 and the inside door handle 6 open manually. The barrage 3 has an opening drive 28 on, by means of which the blocking mechanism 3 can be opened by motor.

Essential to this further teaching is that at least a part of the lock logic arrangement 1 , here the lock mechanics 7 the lock logic arrangement 1 , separate from the barrage 3 is designed. This division of a barrier 3 with opening drive 28 on the one hand and a lock mechanism 7 for the production of mechanical lock settings on the other hand leads to a particularly simple structural design of these two components taken individually. But it also allows a modular design of the motor vehicle lock assembly 2 , allowing different lock settings through the use of different lock mechanisms 7 are realizable without any change in the barrier 3 is required. Such a barrier 3 with opening drive 28 , which has no lock mechanism for making mechanical lock settings, is commonly referred to as an electric lock. The mechanical redundancy for this electric lock is according to the latter teaching by the lock mechanism separate from the electric lock 7 realized.
