Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle, in particular car door, with door hinges and bearing arrangements using ball joints, the door hinges essentially consisting of two hinge brackets, one leg of which is attached to a body post and the other leg of the other hinge bracket is attached to the door is and both hinge tabs are connected to each other by a hinge pin with which the ball of the ball joint in question is integrally connected.
  • the hinge axes are often under very high voltages, so that in the event of a later build-up, e.g. B. after accidents, it is often no longer possible to continue using the old bearing arrangement of the door hinges.
  • each door joint consists of a bracket attached to the bodywork, which is approximately vertical standing sleeve with a certain inner sleeve diameter.
  • Each door joint consists of a bracket fastened on the door side, which carries a spherical shell, the ball pivot being formed from a ball and a threaded bolt fastened thereon, and the threaded bolt being smaller in diameter than the inner sleeve diameter.
  • the console on the door carries the Ball pin, wherein a clearance is formed between the sleeve inner diameter and the threaded bolt, so that the threaded bolt can be displaced within the same axial direction as the sleeve in a horizontal plane after insertion into the sleeve.
  • the threaded bolt has an excess length with its threaded part compared to the sleeve length, so that the threaded bolt can be moved up and down within the sleeve region.
  • the sleeve is encompassed from both end faces by two nuts screwed onto the threaded bolt, the bearing surface diameter of which corresponds at least to the outer sleeve diameter plus the clearance distance between the threaded bolt and the inner sleeve surface, the nuts being able to determine the horizontal and vertical position of the threaded bolt within the sleeve.
  • the contact surface between the sleeve and nuts is formed by washers placed over the threaded bolt.
  • the ball socket is open at the bottom for the passage of the threaded bolt and also has an opening on the opposite side, the ball having a profiled recess in the region of this opening for inserting a holding tool, preferably an Allen key, with which the ball during the adjustment process and the Tightening the nuts is prevented from turning.
  • the spherical shell is through two superimposed and connected sheets are formed, which are formed in opposite directions in a hemispherical shape.
  • the ball and the threaded bolt are detachably fastened from each other.
  • the ball is pierced, the ball held in the ball socket can be plugged with this hole onto an upper piece of a threaded bolt, which is also provided with a thread, and can be fastened with a nut.
  • DE-GM document 76 34 814 discloses a spherical plain bearing with a ball piece and outer body, in which the sliding surface of at least the outer body is formed from a PTFE layer.
  • the PTFE layer that forms the sliding surface is burned onto the bearing surface of the ball piece and / or of the outer body and thereby connected to it flatly.
  • the outer body should have insertion grooves for the ball piece.
  • a disadvantage of this construction is that the ball has only a line contact with a cylindrical bearing sleeve. For this reason, due to the high surface pressure, no significant forces can be absorbed without causing damage due to high wear.
  • the DE-GM document 17 34 991 relates to a ball hinge for motor vehicle doors, the ball pin being arranged in a bearing made of self-lubricating material, such as plastic or sintered, soaked in lubricant, and the lower shell of the split, self-lubricating bearing, in which the z . B. is attached to the body fixed ball stud, is elastic and has a press bead, the lower bearing shell through the bearing closure, for. B. a retaining ring is held under tension.
  • self-lubricating material such as plastic or sintered
  • a ball joint hinge arrangement is previously known, a box-shaped body being firmly connected by welding or the like to a screw pin projecting orthogonally to it.
  • Another, axially offset, spherical pin at its end engages in the hollow box-shaped element and is held by a grub screw that can be screwed orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the pin carrying the ball.
  • This construction cannot be used for motor vehicle, in particular car doors. The setting of the game and the pre-assembly of doors of this construction for motor vehicle, especially car doors, not possible.
  • this construction is not suitable for car or motor vehicle doors, since the hinge compensation is to take place via springs and a rotation of the ball joint is just prevented.
  • DE-AS 17 08 259 relates to a door hinge, in particular for motor vehicle doors, consisting of a hinge half with an upper and a lower, each having a bore projection, which fork-like comprise a bore projection of the other hinge half, the axis of rotation of which is formed by a ball inserted in the bore of the lower projection of the first hinge half, on which the projection of the second hinge half inserted with play between the two projections of the first hinge half is supported with a correspondingly shaped support, and by an upper projection of the first hinge half with the projection coupling piece connecting the second hinge half.
  • the coupling piece should consist of an elastically compressible locking piece, which in the space between the upper projection of the first hinge half and the projection the second hinge half can be used and can be coupled with the holes in the projections. This construction cannot be used for motor vehicle and car doors because of the high manufacturing costs. Doors are not preassembled.
  • DE-OS 20 39 307 relates to a hinge for motor vehicle doors, in which the fixed hinge part is connected to the movable hinge part via a ball pin. At least one of the hinge parts has a swivel part which is penetrated by a single fastening means and which is connected to the vehicle door or the vehicle body via a spherical surface, the hinge being adjustable on all sides when the fastening means is released. There is no adjustment option. There is no positioning during disassembly and reassembly, in particular it is not possible to pre-assemble removable doors.
  • DE-OS 35 39 575 discloses a door hinge for a motor vehicle door with two hinge parts which can be moved relative to one another, at least one hinge part having an insertion opening with a fastening means running approximately horizontally in the state of use, so that a door can be mounted from the side without lifting.
  • the hinge is intended to represent a ball-and-socket joint that is attached to a console firmly connected on the door side, with approximately vertical ball pins on both sides as threaded bolts, the insertion opening being formed by slots in two metal sheets arranged at a vertical distance, into which the threaded bolts can be inserted and with nuts are attached.
  • a detachable door hinge for motor vehicle doors consisting of a first to a door arrangement part, door or door spar, attachable, having a hinge eye and attachable to the second on the other door arrangement part, also having a hinge eye and hinge half a hinge pin which engages in the hinge eyes of both hinge halves and can be connected in a rotationally secure manner to one of the hinge eyes, over part of its length in Hinge eye of a hinge half with a seat is freely rotatable and secured in the axial direction.
  • the hinge pin part, which engages in the attachable hinge eye should consist of a cylindrical section and a section provided with a profiling, at least this profiling having alignment surfaces directed obliquely to the hinge axis for the counter profile of the hinge eye.
  • the invention has for its object to design a door according to the presupposed type such that the complete assembly of the doors can be done separately from the body and the doors can be fed and fixed to the body after the interior of the body has been set up, at lighter Possibility of adjusting the door hinges.
