Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Steuervorrichtung mit dem Merkmal des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a control device with the feature of the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer Steuervorrichtung dieser Art ist das Stellglied für vier Funktionszustände des Verschlusses in zwei Stellungen durch eine Rotationsbewegung einstellbar, die sich um 180° voneinander unterscheiden. Der ausgewählte Funktionszustand hängt zusätzlich von der Vorgeschichte der beiden Hebel, d. h. ihrer vor der Bewegung des Stellglieds vorliegenden Stellung ab (vgl. DE 4343340 A1).In a control device of this type, the actuator for four functional states of the closure can be set in two positions by a rotational movement, which differ from one another by 180 °. The selected functional state also depends on the history of the two levers, i.e. H. from their position before the movement of the actuator (see. DE 4343340 A1).

Es ist ohne weiteres erkennbar, daß eine derartige Steuervorrichtung mechanisch aufwendig ist und zusätzliche vorzugsweise mechanische Mittel erforderlich sind, die die Hebel in der eingestellten Lage halten. Diese Mittel stehen dem Ziel einer leichtgängigen Steuervorrichtung, die mit geringem mechanischen Aufwand eine Änderung des eingestellten Funktionszustands ermöglicht, im Wege.It is readily apparent that such a control device is mechanically complex and additional, preferably mechanical means are required to hold the levers in the set position. These means stand in the way of a smooth-running control device that enables the set functional state to be changed with little mechanical effort.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Steuervorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die sich durch einen geringen mechanischen Aufwand und einen leichtgängigen Antrieb auszeichnet.The invention has for its object to provide a control device of the type mentioned, which is characterized by a low mechanical effort and a smooth drive.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by the characterizing features of patent claim 1.

Durch die 1:1-Zuordnung von Funktionszuständen und Stellungen des Stellglieds verringert sich der mechanische Aufwand gegenüber der bekannten Vorrichtung erheblich. Es ist nun keinerlei Berücksichtigung der vorliegenden bzw. vorausgehenden Stellung der beiden Hebel erforderlich. Nimmt man, wie an sich bekannt, eine Rotationsbewegung des Stellglieds vor, so unterscheiden sich dessen Stellungen für die verschiedenen Funktionszustände um beispielsweise einen Viertelkreisbogen. Im Falle einer Linearbewegung können die Funktionszustände durch Stellungen des Stellglieds eingestellt werden, die rasterartig auf dem Weg des Stellglieds liegen. Da es nur noch auf die Stellung des Stellglieds ankommt, können die Funktionszustände auch in der Weise ausgeführt werden, daß die Bewegung der Hebel dabei entsprechend der gewählten Funktion blockiert oder freigegeben sind. Wählt man beispielsweise vier Funktionszustände, beispielsweise die Zustände

Figure imgb0001
entriegelt",
Figure imgb0001

Figure imgb0001

Figure imgb0001
zentralgesichert", so können die jeweiligen Stellungen des Stellglieds in der angegebenen Reihenfolge der Funktionszustände hintereinander angeordnet sein. Abhängig von der Bauart des Verschlusses ist es aber auch möglich, die Funktionszustände bzw. die Stellungen des Stellglieds abweichend vom angegebenen Schema vorzunehmen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine besondere Gestaltungsfreiheit für die konstruktive Gestaltung des Verschlusses, der vorgesehenen Verriegelungsteile, der Hebel und des Stellglieds. Gegenüber konventionellen Verschlüssen ergibt sich dadurch eine erhebliche Einsparung an Bauteilen bei gleichzeitiger Erhöhung der Ausfallsicherheit sowie eine deutliche Verringerung der Herstellungskosten und des erforderlichen Bauraums.The 1: 1 assignment of functional states and positions of the actuator significantly reduces the mechanical effort compared to the known device. It is now no longer necessary to take into account the present or previous position of the two levers. If, as is known per se, a rotary movement of the actuator takes place, its positions differ for the different functional states by, for example, a quarter-circle arc. In the case of a linear movement, the functional states can be set by positions of the actuator which are in a grid-like manner on the path of the actuator. Since it is only a matter of the position of the actuator, the functional states can also be carried out in such a way that the movement of the levers is blocked or released in accordance with the selected function. For example, one selects four functional states, for example the states

unlocked ",
Figure imgb0001

Figure imgb0001

Figure imgb0001
centrally secured ", the respective positions of the actuator can be arranged one after the other in the specified order of the functional states. Depending on the type of closure, it is also possible to carry out the functional states or the positions of the actuator differently from the specified scheme Special design freedom for the structural design of the lock, the intended locking parts, the lever and the actuator Compared to conventional locks, this results in considerable savings in components while increasing reliability and a significant reduction in manufacturing costs and the required installation space.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Patentansprüchen sowie der Figurenbeschreibung und der Zeichnung angegeben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the further patent claims and in the description of the figures and the drawing.

Durch die Möglichkeit, das Stellglied durch den Antriebsmotor ohne Rückmeldung der Ist-Lage zu steuern, ergeben sich weitere Vereinfachungen des konstruktiven Aufwands. Es ist dann nicht mehr erforderlich, die Ist-Lage des Stellglieds zu erfassen und die Einstellung des Stellglieds zu regeln. Vielmehr genügt die Vorgabe von entsprechenden Steuerbefehlen für den Antriebsmotor.The possibility of controlling the actuator by the drive motor without feedback of the actual position, further simplifies the design effort. It is then no longer necessary to record the actual position of the actuator and to regulate the setting of the actuator. Rather, the specification of corresponding control commands for the drive motor is sufficient.

Bei diesem kann es sich um einen Schrittmotor oder aber auch besonders vorteilhaft um einen Gleichstrommotor handeln. Bei letzterem können vorzugsweise Mittel zur Rotorlage und/oder Drehzahlerfassung vorgesehen sein. Derartige Mittel sind für einen Gleichstrommotor für sich beispielsweise aus der US 4338552A oder der DE4211982A1 bekannt. Dabei wird ein proportional zu den Umdrehungen des Rotor schwankendes Signal auf der Stromversorgungsleitung ausgenutzt, um eine Information über die Drehbewegung und die Drehlage des Rotors und damit des von diesem angetriebenen Stellglieds zu erhalten. Führt das Stellglied eine Rotationsbewegung durch, so kann der Antriebsmotor nur eine Rotationsrichtung besitzen. Die unterschiedlichen Drehlagen werden nacheinander in der stets gleichen Reihenfolge angesteuert. Bei einer Rotationsbewegung und insbesondere bei einer Linearbewegung des Stellglieds aber ist es vorteilhaft, den Antriebsmotor mit reversibler Drehrichtung zu versehen. Die jeweiligen Funktionszustände können dann in der kürzestmöglichen Zeit eingestellt werden.This can be a stepper motor or, particularly advantageously, a direct current motor. In the latter, means for rotor position and / or speed detection can preferably be provided. Such means are known per se for a DC motor, for example from US 4338552A or DE4211982A1. In this case, a signal on the power supply line which fluctuates in proportion to the revolutions of the rotor is used in order to obtain information about the rotational movement and the rotational position of the rotor and thus of the actuator driven by it. If the actuator performs a rotational movement, the drive motor can only have one direction of rotation. The different rotational positions are controlled one after the other in the same order. In the case of a rotational movement and in particular a linear movement of the actuator, it is advantageous to provide the drive motor with a reversible direction of rotation. The respective functional states can then be set in the shortest possible time.

Zur Verringerung des schaltungstechnischen Aufwands kann der Steuerbefehl für dem Antriebsmotor als Datentelegramm aufgegeben werden. Durch entsprechende Umsetzung des Datentelegramms können mißbräuchliche Ansteuerungen des Antriebsmotors verhindert werden. Nur wenn das Datentelegramm tatsächlich die erforderliche Form besitzt, wird der Antriebsmotor aktiviert.To reduce the complexity of the circuitry, the control command for the drive motor can be issued as a data telegram. By appropriate implementation of the data telegram, improper control of the drive motor can be prevented. The drive motor is only activated if the data telegram actually has the required form.

Anhand der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung weiter erläutert. Die einzige Figur zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Steuervorrichtung in ihrem grundsätzlichen Aufbau. Ein nicht im einzelnen gezeigtes Tür-Schloß eines Fahrzeugs ist durch einen Türinnengriff TIG und einen Türaußengriff TAG (beides nicht konkret dargestellt) betätigbar. Die Bezeichnungen TIG und TAG mit zugehörigen Wirkpfeilen zeigen diese Betätigungsmöglichkeiten und die zugehörigen Griff-Teile schematisch.The invention is further explained on the basis of the drawing. The single figure shows a control device according to the invention in its basic structure. A door lock of a vehicle, not shown in detail, can be actuated by an inner door handle TIG and an outer door handle TAG (neither of which is shown in concrete terms). The designations TIG and TAG with associated active arrows show these actuation options and the associated handle parts schematically.

Mit den beiden Griffteilen verbunden sind jeweils ein Hebel 1 bzw. 2, die ebenfalls hinsichtlich ihrer Anordnung und ihrer Wirkverbindung zu den beiden Griffteilen schematisch dargestellt sind. Die beiden Hebel 1 und 2 wirken mit einem Stellglied 3, das über eine Antriebsspindel 4 linear beweglich ist, zusammen. Die Spindel 4 greift in eine Spindelmutter 5 ein und wird durch einen Antriebsmotor 6 reversibel angetrieben. Entsprechend der Drehbewegung der Spindel 4 wird die Spindelmutter 5 und damit das Stellglied 3 linear in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 7 bewegt.A lever 1 or 2 is connected to the two handle parts, which are also shown schematically with regard to their arrangement and their operative connection to the two handle parts. The two levers 1 and 2 interact with an actuator 3, which is linearly movable via a drive spindle 4. The spindle 4 engages in a spindle nut 5 and is reversible by a drive motor 6 driven. According to the rotational movement of the spindle 4, the spindle nut 5 and thus the actuator 3 is moved linearly in the direction of the double arrow 7.

Der Antriebsmotor 6 ist durch eine schematisch gezeigte Motorsteuerung 8 mit Mitteln zur Rotorlage- und/oder Drehzahlerfassung (Ripple-Counter) versehen, die über ein Input/Output-Interface 9 und eine Schnittstelle 10 ankommende Datentelegramme als Steuerbefehle umsetzt, die über eine Datenleitung D eingehen. Mit 30 und 31 ist die Spannungsversorgung (30) und Masseverbindung (31) der Steuereinheit 8 bis 10 angedeutet. Ebenfalls angedeutet, im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung im wesentlichen jedoch ohne Bedeutung, ist ein Türkontaktschalter TK und eine den Einstiegsbereich der Tür beleuchtende Einstiegsleuchte 11 angezeigt. Die Leuchte 11 wird durch das Datentelegramm gesteuert.The drive motor 6 is provided by a schematically shown motor controller 8 with means for rotor position and / or speed detection (ripple counter), which converts incoming data telegrams as control commands via an input / output interface 9 and an interface 10, which are transmitted via a data line D come in. The voltage supply (30) and ground connection (31) of the control unit 8 to 10 are indicated by 30 and 31. Also indicated, but essentially irrelevant in the context of the present invention, a door contact switch TK and an entry light 11 illuminating the entry area of the door are indicated. The lamp 11 is controlled by the data telegram.

Das Stellglied 3 besitzt vier Einstellungen, in denen die vier möglichen Funktionszustände des Tür-Schlosses wirksam sind. In der eingezeichneten Stellung sind die beiden Hebel 1 und 2 blockiert. Diese Stellung entspricht dem Funktionszustand

Figure imgb0001
zentral sichern".The actuator 3 has four settings in which the four possible functional states of the door lock are effective. In the position shown, the two levers 1 and 2 are blocked. This position corresponds to the functional status

secure centrally ".

Durch eine Linearbewegung des Stellglieds 3 wird als nächstes ein Funktionszustand eingestellt, bei dem der Hebel 2 freigegeben ist, während der Hebel 1 weiterhin blockiert ist. Es ist damit möglich, das Tür-Schloß mit dem Türaußengriff TAG zu betätigen, während der Türinnengriff TIG weiterhin blockiert ist. Es handelt sich demnach um den Funktionszustand

Figure imgb0001
kindergesichert" KS.A linear movement of the actuator 3 next sets a functional state in which the lever 2 is released while the lever 1 is still blocked. It is thus possible to operate the door lock with the outside door handle TAG while the inside door handle TIG is still blocked. It is therefore the functional state
Figure imgb0001
childproof "KS.

Als nächstes kann das Stellglied 3 in eine Stellung eingestellt werden, bei der der Hebel 2 blockiert ist, während der Hebel 1 freigegeben ist. Es ist damit möglich, das Tür-Schloß mit dem Türinnengriff TIG zu betätigen. Es handelt sich um den Funktionszustand

Figure imgb0001
verriegelt" VR, bei dem es möglich ist, das Tür-Schloß mit dem Türinnengriff, nicht hingegen mit dem Türaußengriff zu betätigen.Next, the actuator 3 can be set to a position in which the lever 2 is locked while the lever 1 is released. It is therefore possible to operate the door lock with the inside door handle TIG. It is the functional state
Figure imgb0001
locks "VR, where it is possible to operate the door lock with the inside door handle, but not with the outside door handle.

Schließlich kann das Stellglied 3 in eine Lage gebracht werden, in der die beiden Hebel 1 und 2 freigegeben sind. Das Tür-Schloß kann mit dem Türinnen- und dem Türaußengriff betätigt werden. Es liegt dann der Funktionszustand

Figure imgb0001
entriegelt" ER vor.Finally, the actuator 3 can be brought into a position in which the two levers 1 and 2 are released. The door lock can be operated with the inside and outside door handles. Then there is the functional state
Figure imgb0001
unlocked "ER before.

Die unterschiedlichen Betätigungsmöglichkeiten des Tür-Schlosses und das Zusammenwirken des Stellglieds 3 über die Hebel 1 und 2 mit den beiden Griffteilen ist in der Zeichnung durch die Gestaltung des Stellglieds 3 in den Lageabschnitten dargestellt, die beim jeweiligen Funktionszustand mit den Heben 1 und 2 zusammenwirken.The different actuation options of the door lock and the interaction of the actuator 3 via the levers 1 and 2 with the two handle parts is shown in the drawing by the design of the actuator 3 in the position sections which interact with the levers 1 and 2 in the respective functional state.

Damit ergibt sich eine Steuervorrichtung, die auf einfache Weise durch das Zusammenwirken eines elektromotorisch angetriebenen Stellglieds und den beiden von innen bzw. von außen zu betätigenden Griffteilen die Einstellung von bis zu vier Funktionszuständen ermöglicht.This results in a control device which, through the interaction of an actuator driven by an electric motor and the two handle parts to be actuated from the inside or from the outside, enables the setting of up to four functional states in a simple manner.
