Definitions

  • the invention relates to a door hinge for a vehicle door, with a post part, a door part, a hinge pin pivotally connecting both parts, and with a door retainer for temporarily locking the door in at least one opening position, in which a profile and the other on the hinge part for locking the door Hinge part a locking element are attached, which move relative to each other with the hinge movement with elastic contact, and the hinge pin is anchored in at least one eye of one hinge part rotatably or pluggable and rotatably anchored and pivotally mounted in the eye of the other hinge part in at least one multi-layer bearing bush is.
  • Such a door hinge is e.g. known from DE-A1-3401252. It has been shown that the precision leaves something to be desired and the locking forces are not high enough.
  • a torsion spring bent like a clasp is used as the detent element, which, with the aid of small rolling elements, plunges into corresponding depressions along the profiling in the detent positions.
  • the torsion spring takes up a relatively large amount of space, since a relatively long clip must be used to bring about a suitable spring force.
  • the required construction volume reaches such an extent that the torsion spring has to be accommodated inside the door body, since the limited space outside the door body as a rule is not sufficient up to the door jamb. Sealing the door interior is correspondingly difficult since a relatively large, irregular opening must be sealed against the ingress of water and moisture.
  • the invention proposes that the hinge pin is provided with at least one elongated locking element parallel to its longitudinal axis, and that the eye bearing the bearing bush is provided with the profiling on the inner surface facing the hinge pin.
  • the entire door lock is housed within one eye, in which the relative movement when pivoting the hinge, that is, when opening and closing the associated one Vehicle door takes place.
  • the hinge according to the invention can hardly be distinguished from a conventional, simple hinge without a door lock, at most the somewhat stronger hinge pin and the larger diameter of one eye of the one hinge part catches the eye.
  • the door arrester Due to the accommodation of the door arrester in a confined space, it can be accommodated in the space between the door and the jamb in almost all common vehicles, so that the previous type of hinge attachment can be retained and the hinge required until then can be omitted.
  • the elastic engagement of the latching elements on the profiling is brought about by an elastic deformation of the corresponding eye.
  • the eye is relatively thin-walled, so that it can not only expand elastically in the form of a ring, but can also stretch between the individual locking elements in the areas of the highest stress, so that in addition to the expansion, an elastic deformation due to a temporary polygon shape is achievable.
  • the resulting elastic deformation can be easily controlled.
  • the door hinge according to the invention depends on a particularly firm fit of the hinge pin in the one hinge part in which the hinge pin is anchored anyway.
  • the hinge pin is stepped, so that in the case of a hinge in which one hinge part encompasses the other on both sides, anchors can be provided in the two outer hinge eyes.
  • a polygonal profile for example a square or a hexagon, can then be attached in particular to the thin section of the stepped hinge pin, which in any case brings about the desired solid, non-rotatable anchoring.
  • Such a polygonal profile anchoring is also recommended in the case of an embodiment of a pluggable hinge, in which, after the adjustment, the hinge can be dismantled and re-attached as often as desired without losing the basic adjustment.
  • Corresponding projections made of the base material can be formed on the bolts as locking elements; in deviation from this, steel needles can be partially embedded in the base material of the hinge pin, which are available as purchased parts from the area of the needle bearing industry. Finally, elastic or elastically supported strips can be accommodated in corresponding longitudinal grooves of the bolt, which then interact with a rigid eye that does not require a resilient widening, since the elasticity is obtained from the strips or from the support of the strips.
  • the profiling is stamped into a profile sheet, and that an elastomer layer is arranged between the profile sheet and the inner surface of the eye, in particular is injected. In this way, all metal parts are not subject to deformation, apart from the slight bending deformation of the profile sheets. The required elasticity is provided by the elastomer layer, which can be adjusted in almost any hardness and wear resistance.
  • the profile sheet In the area of the end stop, it is expedient to support the profile sheet directly on the inner surface of the associated eye, which can be brought about by separate feet or by a correspondingly bent edge area of the profile sheet. In this way, the effect of the elastomer layer is canceled at this point, that is, a particular hardening to form the end stop is achieved.
  • the hinge shown is of a type in which the post part 1 is provided with outer eyes 4 and 5 which engage laterally around a middle eye 7 on the door part 2. Through the eyes 4, 5 and 7, a through hole 6 is present in the aligned position, but is stepped; the opening in the upper eye 4 is larger than that in the lower eye 5.
  • the actual pivotable mounting between the two hinge parts 1 and 2 takes place between the middle eye 7 on the one hand and the hinge pin 3 on the other hand with the aid of two bearing sleeves 10 which are provided with a corresponding collar for the axial fixing.
  • the hinge pin 3 has corrugations 11 at its outer ends, of which only those at the upper end are shown in FIG. 1. Since the hinge pin 3 is designed as a stepped pin, the rotationally fixed anchoring in the upper eye 4 as well as in the lower eye 5 is particularly simple. Deviating from corrugation at the lower end, a polygonal profile can also be present at this point, for example a square or a hexagon, which plunges into a correspondingly shaped eye 5.
  • the actual door lock is accommodated between the bearing bushes 10, but in the broader sense this also includes the rotationally fixed anchoring of the hinge pin 3 within the post part 1.
  • the hinge pin 3 is equipped in this area with three steel needles 14, which serve as locking elements and are partially embedded in three longitudinal grooves evenly distributed around the circumference (FIG. 2). They cooperate with three profile sheets 15, which are each supported on an inner surface 17 of the middle eye 7 via an elastomer layer 16. The same profile is embossed in the three profile sheets, which can be seen particularly well from FIG. 2.
  • Each profile sheet 15 is folded on one side area so that the one free longitudinal edge stands on the inner surface 17 of the middle eye 7. At this point, the elasticity is virtually eliminated due to the supporting elastomer layer 16.
  • the immediately adjacent indentation for receiving the corresponding latching element 14 is virtually unyielding on the corresponding side and forms the locking device which coincides with the end position locking of the door.
  • the adjacent indentation within each profile sheet 15 causes an intermediate locking, for example at a door opening angle of 45 °.
  • FIG. 2 shows the closed position, in which the latching effect is approximately neutral.
  • the middle eye 21 is of substantially thin-walled design, and the profiling is stamped directly into the inner surface.
  • the profiles are less pronounced because less spring travel is available.
  • the ring-shaped middle eye 21 is namely elastically deformed, so this deformation provides the required elasticity between the three steel needles 14 and the profile.
  • the middle eye 21 When a door carried by this type of hinge is opened and closed, the middle eye 21 widens elastically, which also leads to stretching in the areas between two steel needles 14. Roughly speaking, there is a triangular deformation in particular at very high profile points, which rotates with the steel needles 14.
  • care is taken that the highest profile points of one of the three profile sections are placed in the area of the connecting plate 22, since in this area anyway the elastic deformation is lowest. In this way, a particularly uniform loading of the thin-walled middle eye 21 is achieved.
  • the latching elements are formed as latching projections 26 from the base material, which can be used together with the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 2 and according to FIG. 3.
  • locking strips 27 made of an elastomer material are inserted in longitudinal grooves, so that the elastomer layer 16 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 or the elastic expansion in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 3 is not required. Rather, the locking strips 27 elastically dodge the profile tips of the profiling within the inner surface of the middle eye.
  • metal caps which can optionally be pivotally held on the hinge pin 3 with lateral flags.
  • strip-like protective caps can be vulcanized onto the elastomer strips 27.
  • composite latching strips 31 available, which in turn carry steel needles 32 on their end face.
  • the rigid locking latches 31 are elastically supported in the hinge pin 3 by means of springs 33, the springs 33 being able to be distributed over the entire length; For example, eight relatively hard small coil springs are used per assembled locking bar 31.
  • the elastomer layer 16 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is not only subjected to pressure in the radial direction, but is also very strongly subjected to shear, since the steel needles 14 attempt to turn the profile eyes 15 when the middle eye 7 rotates around the fixed hinge pin 3 to take with you. For this reason, it may be expedient to design the inner surface 17 of the middle eye 7 over a large area, that is to provide it with corrugation for better adhesion.
  • the edges of the profile sheets resting on the inner surface can be embedded in corresponding grooves (not shown), so that a rotation lock is already present at this point.
