Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schließeinrichtung, insbesondere für eine Heckklappe eines Kraftfahrzeuges, gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a locking device, in particular for a Tailgate of a motor vehicle, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Eine gattungsgemäße Schließeinrichtung ist aus der EP 0 565 929 A1 bekannt. Auf einem Träger ist ein Schließbolzen angeordnet, der beim Verschließen einer Tür, einer Heckklappe oder dergleichen, von einer Drehfalle einer Schloßmechanik umfaßt wird. Beim Schließvorgang wird die Schloßmechanik, die Schloßelemente wie Drehfalle, Sperrklinke und weitere Elemente beinhaltet, über Führungselemente, die ebenfalls - der trapezförmigen Ausbildung der Schloßmechanik angepaßt - auf dem Träger angeordnet sind, beim Schließvorgang geführt. Der Träger, die Führungselemente und gegebenenfalls ein parallel zu dem Träger oberhalb der Führungselemente angeordnetes Karosserieteil bilden einen Schacht zur Aufnahme der Schloßmechanik, in den Schmutz hineingelangen kann, der dann die Schloßmechanik in ihrer Funktion beeinträchtigt. Darüber hinaus gehen von diesem Schacht oder auch, wenn ein solcher nicht vorhanden ist, von dem vorstehenden Schließbolzen und gegebenenfalls von den Führungselementen beim Benutzen des Kraftfahrzeuges Verletzungsgefahren aus.A generic locking device is known from EP 0 565 929 A1. A locking bolt is arranged on a carrier, which locks when closing a door, a tailgate or the like, of a rotary latch Lock mechanism is included. During the closing process, the lock mechanism, which includes lock elements such as a rotary latch, pawl and other elements, about guide elements, which are also - the trapezoidal design of the Lock mechanism adapted - are arranged on the carrier when Closing process led. The carrier, the guide elements and if necessary one arranged parallel to the carrier above the guide elements Body part form a shaft for receiving the lock mechanism in the Dirt can get into the lock mechanism in its function impaired. In addition, go from this shaft or even if one such is not available from the above locking bolt and possibly from the guide elements when using the Motor vehicle risk of injury.

Eine weitere gattungsgemäße Schließeinrichtung ist aus der EP 0 314 075 A1 bekannt. Another generic locking device is from the EP 0 314 075 A1 is known.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Schließeinrichtung bereitzustellen, mit der Verschmutzungen und Verletzungsgefahren wirksam vermieden werden.The invention is therefore based on the object of a locking device provide effective with the pollution and risk of injury be avoided.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Die Bewegbarkeit der auf dem Träger angeordneten Führungselemente hat den Vorteil, dass für den Fall, dass sich die Schloßmechanik nicht in dem Schacht bzw. zwischen den Führungselementen befindet und den Schließbolzen anschließt, der Schacht verschlossen ist und somit kein Schmutz in diesen Schacht gelangen kann. Somit ist er auch nicht für Bedienpersonen zugänglich, so dass auch Verletzungsgefahren ausgeschaltet sind. Darüber hinaus trägt die Verschließbarkeit der Schachtes, insbesondere bei dann geöffneter Tür, Heckklappe oder dergleichen, zur optischen Gefälligkeit bei. Es kann zur Freigabe des Schachtes bei Einführung auch an eine Längsbewegung (Verschiebung) der Führungselemente gedacht werden.This object is achieved by the features of the claim 1 solved. The mobility of the arranged on the carrier Guide elements has the advantage that in the event that the Lock mechanism not in the shaft or between the guide elements is located and connects the locking bolt, the shaft is closed and thus no dirt can get into this shaft. So he is not accessible to operators so that there is also a risk of injury are switched off. In addition, the lockability of the shaft especially when the door, tailgate or the like is then open optical favors. It can be used to release the shaft when it is introduced also thought of a longitudinal movement (displacement) of the guide elements become.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the Subclaims specified.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel, auf das der allgemeine Erfindungsgedanke jedoch nicht beschränkt ist, ist im folgenden beschrieben und in der Figur 1 gezeigt.An embodiment to which the general idea of the invention, however is not limited, is described below and shown in FIG. 1.

Figur 1 zeigt als Teil der gesamten Schließeinrichtung einen Träger 1, auf dem ein Schließbolzen 2 angeordnet ist. Die hier nicht gezeigte Schloßmechanik, die beispielsweise Drehfalle, Sperrklinke und weitere, an sich bekannte Elemente aufweist, wird bei Betrachtung der Figur 1 von oben in Richtung des Schließbolzens 2 bewegt, wobei die Bewegung der auf dem Träger 1 angeordneten Führungselemente 3, die um eine Drehachse 4 herum bewegbar sind, verschwenkt werden. Durch diese Bewegung der Führungselemente 3 um die Drehachse 4 wird der Schacht für die Schloßmechanik von dieser freigemacht und die Schließeinrichtung kann in ihren geschlossenen Zustand überführt werden, in dem beispielsweise eine Drehfalle den Schließbolzen 2 umfaßt. Wurde die Drehfalle von einer Sperrklinke freigegeben, bewegt sich die Schloßmechanik wieder aus dem Schacht heraus. Die Führungselemente 3 folgen zunächst dieser Bewegung, da sie kraftbeaufschlagt sind. Dies erfolgt in Figur 1 mittels einer Feder 5, die sich einerseits an dem Führungselement 3 und andererseits an einem Abstützpunkt 6 an dem Träger 1 abstützt. Die Bewegung der Führungselemente 3 in einer Drehrichtung 7 erfolgt bis zu einem Punkt, an dem ein Ende 8 des jeweiligen Führungselementes 3 an einen Anschlag 9, der ebenfalls an dem Träger 1 angeordnet ist, anstößt und somit die Drehbewegung der Führungselemente 3 stoppt. Somit wird das jeweilige Führungselement 3 kraftbeaufschlagt (mittels der Feder 5) in eine erste Position gebracht, in der der Schacht verschlossen ist und von der Schloßmechanik in eine weitere Position gebracht, in der der Schacht der Schloßmechanik zugänglich ist. Um den Schließvorgang der Schließeinrichtung zu dämpfen, ist ein Dämpfungselement 10 vorgesehen, welches entweder an dem Führungselement 3 befestigt (geklebt, verschraubt, eingeklemmt oder dergleichen) ist, oder an dem Träger 1, insbesondere an einem an dem Träger 1 angeordneten Steg 11, in gleicher Weise befestigt ist. In bevorzugter Weise ist das Dämpfungselement 10 an dem Steg 11 befestigt und verbleibt somit in einer Ruheposition, so dass sich bei der Bewegung der Führungselemente 3 die bewegten Massen reduzieren. Weiterhin kann vorgesehen werden, dass zumindest der Teil der Oberfläche des Führungselementes 3, der den Schacht verdeckt bzw. mit dem die Schloßmechanik in Berührung kommt, zu lackieren und/oder mit einer Beschichtung zu versehen, um einen mechanischen Abrieb wirksam zu vermindern und die Lebensdauer zu erhöhen.Figure 1 shows as part of the entire locking device a carrier 1, on the a locking bolt 2 is arranged. The lock mechanism, not shown here, the rotary latch, pawl and other known, for example Has elements, when viewing Figure 1 from above in the direction of Locking bolt 2 moves, the movement of the on the carrier 1st arranged guide elements 3, which are movable about an axis of rotation 4 are pivoted. Through this movement of the guide elements 3 the axis of rotation 4 becomes the shaft for the lock mechanism of this cleared and the locking device can be in its closed state are transferred, for example, in a rotary latch, the locking bolt 2 includes. If the catch has been released by a pawl, it moves Lock mechanism out of the shaft. The guide elements 3 first follow this movement because they are under power. This is done in 1 by means of a spring 5, which is on the one hand on the guide element 3rd and on the other hand is supported on the support 1 at a support point 6. The Movement of the guide elements 3 in a direction of rotation 7 takes place up to one Point at which one end 8 of the respective guide element 3 to one Stop 9, which is also arranged on the carrier 1, abuts and thus the rotation of the guide elements 3 stops. Thus the respective Guide element 3 is acted upon by force (by means of the spring 5) in a first Position in which the shaft is closed and from the Lock mechanism moved into another position in which the shaft of the Lock mechanism is accessible. To the closing process of the locking device to dampen, a damping element 10 is provided, which either the guide element 3 attached (glued, screwed, clamped or the like), or on the carrier 1, in particular on one on the carrier 1 arranged web 11 is attached in the same way. Preferably the damping element 10 is attached to the web 11 and thus remains in a rest position so that when the guide elements 3 reduce the moving masses. It can also be provided that at least the part of the surface of the guide element 3 that the shaft covered or with which the lock mechanism comes into contact to paint and / or to be provided with a coating to prevent mechanical abrasion effectively reduce and increase the service life.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind denkbar, ohne den Erfindungsgedanken aufzugeben. So kann beispielsweise bei entsprechender Auslegung die Feder 5 gleichzeitig die Aufgabe der Vorspannung und die Aufgabe der Dämpfung übernehmen, wobei auch weitere Elemente zur Kraftbeaufschlagung der Führungselemente 3 wie beispielsweise Druckfedern, Hydraulikzylinder oder dergleichen möglich sind. Auch als Dämpfungselement kann beispielsweise ein Hydraulikzylinder oder ein Luftdruckzylinder Verwendung finden.Further refinements of the invention are conceivable without the Give up inventive ideas. For example, with a corresponding Interpretation of the spring 5 at the same time the task of bias and the Take over the task of damping, with other elements for Applying force to the guide elements 3, such as compression springs, Hydraulic cylinders or the like are possible. Also as a damping element can be, for example, a hydraulic cylinder or an air pressure cylinder Find use.

Weiterhin kann das in Figur 1 gezeigte Gebilde mit den Elementen wie Träger 1, Schließbolzen 2 und den weiter beschriebenen bzw. gezeigten Elementen als vormontiertes Modul ausgebildet sein. Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, dass die Führungselemente 3 einschließlich der dazugehörigen Elemente symmetrisch zu dem Schließbolzen 2 bzw. zur Bewegungsrichtung der Schloßmechanik (wie dies in Figur 1 gezeigt ist) angeordnet sind. An dem dem Anschlag 8 des Führungselementes 3 abgewandten Ende ist eine Dichtlippe 12 vorgesehen, die insbesondere elastisch verformbar ist und den Stoßbereich zwischen den beiden Führungselementen 3 verschließt. Auch eine Zuziehhilfe, bei der beispielsweise der Schließbolzen 2 um eine exzentrische Achse antreibbar ist, kann eingesetzt werden.Furthermore, the structure shown in Figure 1 with the elements such as carriers 1, locking bolt 2 and the elements described or shown further be designed as a pre-assembled module. It is also provided that the Guide elements 3 including the associated elements symmetrically to the locking bolt 2 or to the direction of movement of the lock mechanism (as this is shown in Figure 1) are arranged. At the stop 8 of the A sealing lip 12 is provided at the end facing away from the guide element 3, which is particularly elastically deformable and the joint area between the closes two guide elements 3. Also a closing aid where for example the locking bolt 2 can be driven about an eccentric axis, can be used.

Eine bevorzugte Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Schließeinrichtungen ist bei Heckklappen von Kraftfahrzeugen zu sehen, wobei diese Anwendungen nicht das einzige Anwendungsgebiet darstellen.A preferred application of the locking devices according to the invention is seen in tailgates of motor vehicles, these applications not the only area of application.
