Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hinge and locking unit for detachable motor vehicle doors, consisting of a hinge, the two hinge wings of which are inseparably connected by means of a hinge pin, and the one of which is formed by a sheet metal folding part by means of a hinge pin receiving an extension of the hinge pin and transverse to the hinge axis
  • Directional support of a support and at least one screw is releasably attachable to the door pillar and from a torsion bar door lock with a C-shaped or S-shaped torsion bar spring fixed and supported on the other hinge wing, which consists of alternately arranged projections and depressions, on which by a sheet metal folding part Formed hinge wing is assigned molded locking device, and wherein the hinge wing formed by a sheet metal folding part has an essentially U-shaped shape, with catch and holding bodies for a load arm of the torsion bar spring of the door arrester being rotatably mounted on a leg of the U-shape directed transversely to the hinge
  • the load arm of a torsion bar spring is assigned two circumferentially toothed abutment rollers as a locking device and in a more or less considerable one, at least in one of them own diameter exceeding distance from each other, so that the loading arm of the torsion bar spring when opening the door near the first door opening position to be locked first comes into engagement with the first of the two abutment rollers and is deflected by this by a certain amount, whereby the momentum the door which is in the opening movement is braked until the loading arm of the torsion bar spring finally comes into engagement with the second abutment roller after a partial rotation of the first abutment roller when the door is opened further and is held firmly between the two abutment rollers n will.
  • the latching device of the door arrester only allows two latching positions of the door and, on the other hand, the load arm of the torsion bar spring occasionally strikes a tooth of the same when it strikes the second abutment roller and thus does not latch exactly, which naturally has the consequence that the vehicle door runs out of the opening position that is actually to be locked again by a certain angular amount, be it in the opening or in the closing direction.
  • the known door locks of this type are characterized above all by the disadvantage that they allow a maximum of two locking positions of the door.
  • the doors are already attached to the body shell in a final orientation, at least temporarily, and then painted together with the Roco body.
  • the doors must, in the interest of efficient operation, on the one hand, when introducing the interior of the body, e.g. seats, headlining, dashboard, pedals and the like, and on the other hand, when the doors themselves are refurbished, ie when installing equipment, such as window lifters, door locks and interior trim, to be separated from the body, only to be reconnected to the vehicle body after the doors and body have been fully equipped.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a hinge and locking unit design for detachable motor vehicle doors, to that extent improve that with the lowest possible overall weight and the need for installation space the unity and an increase in the possible locking positions of the door and that at the same time with low manufacturing and assembly costs also an incorrect assembly of the Door arrester, in particular the catch and holding body is forcibly excluded.
  • the catching and holding bodies have a circular cross-sectional shape in a central region and, with respect to one another, each have a radially directed projection, one of which is provided with a latching recess and the other of which has a wedge-shaped smooth surface. It is also expediently provided in detail that the two radial projections of each of the catch and holding bodies are designed symmetrically to one another and the latching recess in the one radial projection has a contour profile which corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the loading arm of the torsion bar spring.
  • the load arm of the torsion bar spring will generally have a circular cross-sectional shape
  • a cross-sectional shape of the load arm of the torsion bar spring that deviates from the circular shape, for example square could also be provided in special cases.
  • the latching recesses in the radial projections of two adjacent catching and holding bodies pivoted relative to one another complement one another to form a semicircular shape.
  • This advantageously has a smooth, seamless and jerk-free transfer of the loading arm of the torsion bar spring from one to the next abutment roller, that is, the loading arm of the torsion bar slides in the course of the door movement without any interference from the latching recess of one into the latching recess of the other abutment roller, so that one absolutely continuous transition and thus naturally a noiseless movement of the door arrester.
  • the two flank surfaces have a smooth surface wedge-shaped radial projection of each of the catching and holding bodies one each Include angles of 97 ° with each other, so that due to the fact that the smooth wedge-shaped projection each a swivel end stop for the Abutment roller forms the maximum possible swivel angle range of neighboring Catch and holding body to an angle between 90 ° and 100 °, preferably one Angular amount of 97 °, is limited.
  • the catching and holding bodies point profile material continuously over their entire height a uniform profile cross-sectional shape and are mounted on bearing axles through by means of a circumferential knurl in a rotationally secure manner in the bore recesses of the locking device fixed rivets are formed.
  • the catch and Holding body on the bearing axles against the load of a braking spring washer are rotatably mounted to prevent them from turning or pivoting automatically and thus take further precautions for an absolutely quiet walk of the door arrester.
  • the bearing axes of the catch and holding bodies are expediently arranged on one leg of the U-shaped hinge wing formed by a sheet metal folding part along an arc line running concentrically to the hinge axis.
  • the latching device also includes a rigid opening end stop for the nose.
  • the strength of the hinge fastening on the door pillar continues to be reduced provided that the carrier by a right angled flat material angle is formed, one downward leg with means for the permanent Attachment to the door pillar and its other the support for the hinge wing forming leg with a receiving the hinge pin extension Bore recess and a form-fitting with the leg of the hinge wing cooperating projection is equipped.
  • a thin-walled underlay plate spanning the entire height of the fastening leg and the contact surface of the hinge wing on the door pillar side is assigned to the fastening leg of the carrier the carrier can be permanently connected to the washer by means of welding via its fastening leg.
  • the mounting leg of the carrier can additionally be provided with a welding boss which extends through an associated recess in the base plate for the direct mounting on the door pillar.
  • a feature of a carrier according to the invention is seen in the fact that the projection cooperating with the leg of the hinge wing is formed by a rivet bolt inserted into an associated bore recess in the support of the carrier and secured against rotation by means of a peripheral knurl.
  • the hinge and locking unit for detachable motor vehicle doors shown in the drawing consists of a hinge with two hinge wings 2 and 3 pivotally connected to one another by means of a hinge pin 1, one of which 2 remains on the door body (not shown in the drawing) and the other 3 releasably on the
  • the door pillar also not shown in the drawing, can be fastened and a torsion bar door lock 4.
  • the hinge wing 3 which can be releasably attached to the door pillar, is formed from a folded sheet material blank and has an essentially U-shaped shape, with the upper leg 5 directed transversely to the hinge axis the U-shape formed from alternating successive projections 6 and recesses 7 locking device 8 and on the lower, transverse to the hinge axis leg 9 of the U-shape parallel and in the same direction to a hinge height extension 10 of the hinge pin 1 directed pin-shaped projection 11 is formed.
  • the pin-shaped projection 11 is adjacent to each other angled 40 and 41 of the two legs 5 and 9 of the hinge wing 3.
  • the hinge wing 3 is arranged around the hinge wing 2 which can be connected to the door.
  • the engaging hinge wing 2 consists of a length section of a hinge profile material and has an approximately L-shaped cross-sectional shape.
  • the hinge wing 2 is rotatably connected by means of its one profile leg 12 via the hinge pin 1 to the hinge wing 3, while it is fastened to the door via its other profile leg 13.
  • the torsion bar door arrester 4 which is connected to the hinge in terms of construction, has an S-shaped torsion bar spring, which is supported above its sheep part 14 with the interposition of a bearing shell 15 on the engaging hinge wing 2 and is supported against it via a support arm 16, the area bearing the load arm 17 the two hinge wings 2 and 3 protrude upwards.
  • the loading arm 17 of the torsion bar spring interacts with the locking device 8 of the door arrester 4, which is formed on one leg 5 of the U-shape of the hinge wing 3 and consists of projections 6 and depressions 7 arranged alternately one after the other and has three locking positions for the door.
  • the locking device 8 also includes three mutually uniform catch and holding body 18, which are each rotatably mounted on one of the projections 6 about a vertical axis and interact with the loading arm 17 of the torsion bar spring when it enters one of its locking positions.
  • the catching and holding bodies 18 are formed uniformly over their entire height and have an essentially heart-shaped cross-sectional shape.
  • the catch and holding bodies 18 have a circular cross-sectional shape in a central region 19 and are equipped with radially directed projections 20 and 21 arranged opposite one another and symmetrical to one another, the radial projection 20 being provided with a latching recess 22 and the other radial projection 21 is formed wedge-shaped smooth surface.
  • the latching recess 20 in the one radial projection 20 has a contour profile which corresponds to the circular cross-sectional shape of the loading arm 17 of the torsion bar spring.
  • the latching recesses 22 in the radial projection 20 of the catching and holding bodies 18 each have a quarter-circular contour, 20 of two adjacent catching and holding bodies 7 pivoted relative to one another complement one another to form a semicircular shape.
  • the two flank surfaces 23 and 24 of the smoothly wedge-shaped radial projection 21 of each of the catching and holding bodies 18 each form an angle of 97 ° with one another, so that due to the fact that the smoothly wedge-shaped projection 21 each has an adjacent catching and holding body -per 18 cooperating pivot stop for a catching and holding body 18, the maximum possible pivoting angle range of adjacent catching and holding body 18 is limited to an angle of 97 °.
  • the catching and holding bodies 18 have a uniform profile cross-sectional shape throughout their entire height and are supported on bearing axles 25 which are formed by rivet pins 26 which are fixed in a rotational manner in associated bore recesses in the projections 6 of the latching device 8 by means of a circumferential knurl.
  • the bearing axes of the catch and holding bodies 18 are naturally arranged at a smaller distance than the largest diameter of their cross-sectional shape and also along an arc line on the hinge wing 3 which is concentric with the hinge axis.
  • the latching device 8 has in the region of its end a nose 27 forming a rigid opening end stop for the door.
  • the hinge and locking unit to be fastened to the door via the hinge wing 3 formed by a folded sheet metal blank is assigned a support 30 which is fixed in a pre-aligned and secured position on the door pillar.
  • the carrier 30 consists of a right-angled flat material blank, one leg 31 of which forms a support 32 for the hinge wing 3 directed transversely to the hinge axis 1 and the other leg of which is permanent and non-detachable as a fastening leg 33, in particular can be fastened to the door pillar by means of welding bosses 34.
  • the fastening leg 33 of a carrier 30 is directed downward and is therefore arranged outside the mutual contact surface of the hinge wing 3 and the door pillar.
  • the leg 31 of the support 30, which forms the support 32 for the hinge wing 3, is equipped with a first bore recess 36, which extends beyond the hinge extension 10 of the hinge pin 1 and a second bore 36 arranged for positive engagement of the pin-shaped projection 11 on the leg of the hinge wing 3.
  • the fastening leg 33 of the carrier 30 is assigned a thin-walled washer 37 which spans the entire height of the fastening leg 33 and the contact surface of the hinge wing 3 on the door pillar side, the carrier 30 being able to be permanently connected to the washer 37 by means of welding.
