Abstract

The pivot arm (6) is operated by the grip (3) and a transmission part, particularly a "Bowden" (RTM) cable, is coupled to it. This enables the door to be opened using transmission parts. A mass stop (10) is pivotably located against spring pressure, which in the event of a side collision locates by reason of its mass in a blocking position, in which opening of the door is prevented. The mass stop is linked to the pivot arm and in the blocking position a pivoting of the pivot arm into the open position is prevented. The mass stop does not block operation of the handle in its normal position and is movable into the blocking position by the acceleration caused by a side collision.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Türaußengriff eines Kraftfahrzeuges mit einem am Türblech befestigbarem Lagerrahmen (Lagerbügel), an dem der Ziehgriff angelenkt ist, und mit einem im Lagerrahmen angelenkten Schwenkarm (Drehbügel), der durch den Griff betätigbar ist und dem ein Übertragungsteil, insbesondere ein Bowdenzug angekoppelt ist, durch das die Tür über Übertragungsteile zu öffnen ist, wobei eine Massensperre gegen Federdruck verschwenkbar gelagert ist, die bei einem Seitenaufprall auf Grund ihrer Masse in einer sperrenden Stellung sich befindet, in der sie ein Öffnen der Tür verhindert.The invention relates to an outer door handle of a motor vehicle with a mountable to the door panel bearing frame (bracket), on which the pull handle is articulated, and with a pivoted arm in the bearing frame (pivot bracket), which can be actuated by the handle and to which a transmission part, in particular a Bowden cable, is coupled is through which the door can be opened via transmission parts, a mass lock being pivotally mounted against spring pressure, which due to its mass is in a blocking position in a side impact, in which it prevents the door from opening.

Aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift 2023859 ist es bekannt, auf der Innenseite einer Türgriffanordnung eine Augleichsmasse zu lagern, die bei einer gegen das Türaußenblech plötzlich drückenden Kraft ein Verschwenken des Griffes in Öffnungsrichtung verhindert.From German published patent application 2023859 it is known to mount an equalizing mass on the inside of a door handle arrangement, which mass pivots when suddenly pressed against the outer door panel of the handle in the opening direction prevented.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, bei einem Türaußengriff der eingangs genannten Art eine Massensperre anzuordnen, die bei einfacher Konstruktion, geringen Abmessungen und geringem Gewicht eine hohe Funktionstüchtigkeit besitzt.The object of the invention is to arrange a mass lock in an external door handle of the type mentioned, which has a high degree of functionality with a simple construction, small dimensions and low weight.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Massensperre am Schwenkarm angelenkt ist und in der sperrenden Stellung ein Verschwenken des Schwenkarmes in die Offen-Stellung verhindert.This object is achieved in that the mass lock is articulated on the swivel arm and prevents pivoting of the swivel arm into the open position in the locking position.

Die am Schwenkarm angelenkte Massensperre benötigt bei geringem Gewicht nur wenig Platz und bietet eine hohe Sicherheit, da sie bei einem Seitenaufprall stets funktioniert.The mass lock articulated on the swivel arm takes up little space and is extremely safe because it always works in the event of a side impact.

Eine besonders sichere Funktion wird erreicht, wenn die Massensperre in ihrer Normalstellung sperrt und durch Betätigung des Griffs von Hand in die nicht sperrende Stellung beegbarist. Alternativ wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Massensperre in ihrer Normalstellung nicht sperrt und durch die Beschleunigung auf Grund des Seitenaufpralls in die sperrende Stellung bewegbar ist.A particularly safe function is achieved if the mass lock locks in its normal position and can be moved into the non-locking position by operating the handle by hand. Alternatively, it is proposed that the mass lock not lock in its normal position and that it can be moved into the locking position by the acceleration due to the side impact.

Vorzugsweise wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Massensperre in der Sperrstellung sich an einem vorderen Teil des Lagerrahmens abstützt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Massensperre in ihrer nicht sperrenden Lage an einem Anschlag des Lagerrahmens anliegt und bei jedem vom Griff erzeugten Verschwenken des Schwenkarmes durch ihre Feder in eine Drehstellung verschwenkbar ist, die von der Normalstellung entfernt liegt, da hierdurch die Massensperre bei jeder Betätigung des Türgriffs verschwenkt wird und dadurch sich nicht festsetzen kann.It is preferably proposed that the mass lock in the locked position be supported on a front part of the bearing frame. It is particularly advantageous if the mass lock in its non-locking position rests against a stop of the bearing frame and can be pivoted by its spring into a rotational position which is distant from the normal position each time the swivel arm is pivoted by the handle, since this causes the mass lock for everyone Operation of the door handle is pivoted and can not get stuck.

Von größten Vorteil ist es, wenn die Massensperre innerhalb einer Aussparung des Schwenkarmes gelagert ist. Auch sollte die Schwenkachse der Massensperre parallel zur Drehachse des Griffes und des Schwenkarmes angeordnet sein.It is of great advantage if the mass lock is mounted within a recess in the swivel arm. The pivot axis of the mass lock should also be arranged parallel to the axis of rotation of the handle and the pivot arm.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. Show it:
Fig. 1
a longitudinal section through the outer door handle in a first embodiment,
Fig. 2
a side view of the bearing frame without a handle,

a longitudinal section through the outer door handle in a second embodiment.

Der Türaußengriff besitzt als Gesamteinrichtung einen Lagerrahmen 1, der auf der Innenseite des Außenbleches einer Kraftfahrzeugtür befestigt ist. An einem Ende besitzt der Lagerrahmen 1 eine Aussparung 2, mit dem der außen an der Tür angeordnete Ziehgriff 3 mit einem an seinem Ende angeordneten Vorsprung 4 einliegt, so daß Aussparung 2 und Vorsprung 4 ein Gelenk bilden, um das der Griff 3 verschwenkbar ist.The outer door handle has a bearing frame 1 as a whole, which is fastened to the inside of the outer panel of a motor vehicle door. At one end, the bearing frame 1 has a recess 2 with which the pull handle 3 arranged on the outside of the door lies with a projection 4 arranged at its end, so that the recess 2 and projection 4 form a joint about which the handle 3 can be pivoted.

An dem dem Vorsprung 4 gegenüberliegenden Ende steht am Griff 3 ein nach innen ragender fingerförmiger Schaft 5 vor, dessen Ende am Ende eines Schwenkarmes 6 anliegt, so daß bei einem Ziehen des Griffes 3 nach außen der Schwenkarm 6 nach außen verschwenkbar ist. Hierbei ist der Schwenkarm 6 um eine Achse 7 drehbeweglich, auf der eine Feder 8 angeordnet ist, die den Schwenkarm 6 gegen die Zugkraft des Griffes 3 nach innen belastet.At the end opposite the projection 4, an inwardly projecting finger-shaped shaft 5 projects from the handle 3, the end of which rests against the end of a swivel arm 6, so that when the handle 3 is pulled outwards, the swivel arm 6 can be swiveled outwards. Here, the swivel arm 6 is rotatable about an axis 7, on which a spring 8 is arranged, which loads the swivel arm 6 against the tensile force of the handle 3 inwards.

Am Ende des Schwenkarmes 6 und/oder des Schaftes 5 ist das Ende eines nicht dargestellten Bowdenzuges befestigt, durch den bei Betätigung das Türschloß geöffnet wird.At the end of the swivel arm 6 and / or the shaft 5, the end of a Bowden cable, not shown, is fastened, by means of which the door lock is opened when actuated.

Im Schwenkarm 6 befindet sich eine rechteckförmige Öffnung, in der eine schwingenförmige Massensperre 10 verschwenkbar um eine Achse 9 gelagert ist, die am Schwenkarm 6 befestigt ist. Hierbei liegen die Achsen 7, 9 parallel zueinander und parallel zur Drehachse des Griffes 3.In the swivel arm 6 there is a rectangular opening in which a rocker-shaped mass lock 10 is pivotally mounted about an axis 9, which is attached to the swivel arm 6. Here, the axes 7, 9 are parallel to one another and parallel to the axis of rotation of the handle 3.

Die Masse bzw. das Gewicht der Massensperre 10 ist geringer als die des Griffes 3 und des Schwenkarmes 6, so daß bei einer Beschleunigung des Schloßes quer zur Fahrtrichtung des Kraftfahrzeugs die Massensperre 10 früher nach außen schwingt als der Griff 3 und der Schwenkarm 6. Hierbei gelangt die Massensperre 10 in einen freien Raum 11 zwischen Schwenkarm 6 und einem vorderen plattenförmigen Teil 12 des Lagerrahmens 1. In dieser Sperrstellung der Massensperre 10 verhindert die Massensperre 10, daß der Schwenkarm 6 zusammen mit dem Griff 3 sich nach außen bewegen kann, da die Massensperre 10 den Abstand zwischen der Achse 9 und dem Teil 12 in dieser Sperrstellung überbrückt.The mass or weight of the mass lock 10 is less than that of the handle 3 and the swivel arm 6, so that when the lock is accelerated transversely to the direction of travel of the motor vehicle, the mass lock 10 swings outward earlier than the handle 3 and the swivel arm 6. Here the mass lock 10 arrives in a free space 11 between the swivel arm 6 and a front plate-shaped part 12 of the bearing frame 1. In this locked position of the mass lock 10, the mass lock 10 prevents the swivel arm 6 together with the handle 3 from moving outwards since the Mass lock 10 bridges the distance between the axis 9 and the part 12 in this locked position.

In der nicht-sperrenden Stellung liegt die Massensperre 10 an mindestens einem Anschlag 13 an, der als Stift am Lagerrahmen 1 befestigt ist und hierbei den Lagerrahmen in seiner parallelen Lage zu den Achsen 7,
9 überbrückt. Wird bei normaler Betätigung des Griffes 3 dieser nach außen gezogen, so verschwenkt der Schwenkarm 6 auch nach außen, wobei die Achse 9 und die Massensperre 10 mitgenommen werden. Damit entfernt sich die Achse 9 vom Anschlag 13, so daß die Massensperre 10 nach innen verschwenkt wird. Somit wird bei jeder Betätigung des Griffes 3 die Massensperre 10 bewegt und damit ihre Leichtgängigkeit erhalten.In the non-locking position, the mass lock 10 rests on at least one stop 13, which is attached to the bearing frame 1 as a pin, and in this case the bearing frame in its position parallel to the axes 7,
9 bridges. If the handle 3 is pulled outwards during normal operation, the swivel arm 6 also pivots outwards, the axis 9 and the mass lock 10 being taken along. This removes the axis 9 from the stop 13, so that the mass lock 10 to the inside is pivoted. Thus, each time the handle 3 is actuated, the mass lock 10 is moved, thereby maintaining its smooth operation.

Eine ständige Anlage der Massensperre 10 am Anschlag 13 wird durch eine Drehfeder 14 erzeugt, die um die Achse 9 angeordnet ist. Die Feder 14 kann eine Doppelfeder sein oder aus zwei Federn bestehen, um bei Federbruch immer noch eine Federwirkung zu haben.A permanent system of the mass lock 10 at the stop 13 is generated by a torsion spring 14 which is arranged about the axis 9. The spring 14 can be a double spring or consist of two springs in order to still have a spring action in the event of a spring break.

In der in Fig. 3 dargestellten alternativen Ausführung befindet sich die Massensperre 10 in der Normalstellung, d.h. wenn der Türgriff nicht betätigt wird und ein Seitenaufprall nicht erfolgt, in der sperrenden Stellung, die in Fig. 3 gezeigt ist. Wird die Tür von Hand durch Zug am Griff geöffnet, so wird der Schwenkarm 6 verschwenkt und damit die Achse der Massensperre so verschoben, daß die Massensperre aus ihrer sperrenden Stellung, insbesondere durch ihre Feder, in eine nicht sperrende Stellung verschwenkt wird, da die Achse 9 der Massensperre 10 vom Anschlag 13 sich entfernt. Bei einem Seitenaufprall verbleibt die Massen sperre in einer sperrenden Stellung.In the alternative embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the mass lock 10 is in the normal position, i.e. when the door handle is not operated and there is no side impact, in the locking position shown in FIG. 3. If the door is opened by hand by pulling the handle, the swivel arm 6 is pivoted and thus the axis of the mass lock is moved so that the mass lock is pivoted from its locking position, in particular by its spring, into a non-locking position, since the axis 9 the mass lock 10 away from the stop 13. In the event of a side impact, the mass lock remains in a locking position.
