Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Betätigungsanordnung für bewegliche Teile an Fahrzeugen, insbesonders für Heckdeckel, Verdeck-Abdeckungen od. dgl., mit einer Anlenkung des zu bewegenden Teils am Fahrzeug mittels zumindest eines Scharniers, einem Antriebsmittel und allenfalls zumindest einer Gasfeder, wobei zumindest ein Scharnier einen Innenhebel aufweist, der im Innenraum des Fahrzeugs endet und mit einem ebenfalls im Innenraum des Fahrzeugs angeordneten Antriebsmittel zur Einleitung eines Drehmoments verbunden ist.The invention relates to an actuating arrangement for movable Parts on vehicles, especially for boot lids, soft top covers or Like., With an articulation of the part to be moved on the vehicle by means of at least a hinge, a drive means and at least one Gas spring, wherein at least one hinge has an inner lever which in Interior of the vehicle ends and also in the interior of the Vehicle arranged drive means connected to initiate a torque is.

Bewegliche Teile an Fahrzeugen, insbesonders Heckdeckel, werden mittels Scharnieren, in vielen Fällen mittels Viergelenkscharnieren, an die Karosserie angebunden. Meist sitzt dabei an jedem Scharnier eine Gasfeder, die einen Teil des Gewichts des Deckels aufnimmt und dessen Bewegungen dämpft. Bei automatisch betätigbaren Heckdeckeln oder ähnlichen Bauteilen ist es Stand der Technik eine dieser Gasfedern durch eine Antriebseinheit zum Öffnen und Schließen des Deckels, vorzugsweise durch einen Hydraulikzylinder, zu ersetzen. Dies belastet den Deckel einseitig und hat darüberhinaus den wesentlichen Nachteil, daß die Druckmittelleitungen durch die Regenrinne geführt werden müssen und der Zylinder selbst eines Oberflächenschutzes bedarf. Überdies muß das Scharnier auf der Seite der Antriebseinrichtung zu deren Einbindung verändert werden. Stand der Technik ist auch eine Konstruktionsart, bei der einer der Scharnierhebel gerade in den Innenraum des Fahrzeugs verlängert ist, wo ein Antriebsmittel ansetzt. Diese Konstruktion weist aber den Nachteil auf, daß die Durchführung des Scharnierhebels schwer abzudichten ist, wobei zusätzlich durch den großen Hebelweg diese Abdichtung über einen sehr großen Bereich erfolgen müßte. Aus diesem Grund hat sich diese bekannte Lösung auch nicht durchgesetzt.Moving parts on vehicles, especially trunk lids, are by means of Hinges, in many cases using four-bar hinges, on the body tied up. There is usually a gas spring on each hinge, the absorbs part of the weight of the lid and dampens its movements. It is with automatically operated trunk lids or similar components State of the art one of these gas springs by a drive unit for opening and closing the lid, preferably by a hydraulic cylinder replace. This loads the lid on one side and also has the major disadvantage that the pressure medium lines through the gutter must be guided and the cylinder itself a surface protection requirement. In addition, the hinge on the side of the drive device must be closed their integration will be changed. State of the art is also a type of construction where one of the hinge levers goes straight into the interior of the Vehicle is extended where a drive means starts. This construction but has the disadvantage that the implementation of the hinge lever difficult is to be sealed, this sealing also due to the large lever travel would have to take place over a very large area. For this reason this known solution is not enforced.

Daher war es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Betätigungsanordnung zu schaffen, welche einen optimalen Schutz der Antriebseinrichtung mit einfacher Konstruktion und guter, störungsfreier Betätigungsmöglichkeit des zu bewegenden Teils verbindet.It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide an actuator assembly to create an optimal protection of the drive device with simple construction and good, trouble-free operation of the part to be moved connects.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Betätigungsanordnung wie eingangs erwähnt gelöst, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß der Innenhebel mit dem äußeren Teil des Scharniers über einen Drehbolzen verbunden ist, welcher Drehbolzen durch die Karosserie des Fahrzeugs hindurchgeführt ist. Eine derartige Hindurchführung eines Drehbolzens durch die Karosserie ist äußerst effektiv für die Übertragung des Drehmoments, läßt sich sehr gut abdichten und auch mechanisch stabilisieren. Die Antriebseinrichtung und auch deren Verbindungsstelle mit dem Scharnier ist optimal vor korrosiven Medien geschützt im Innenraum des Fahrzeugs untergebracht und nicht mehr in der Regenrinne, wobei auch die Gefahr des Eindringens von Wasser, korrosiven Medien oder Schmutz minimiert ist. Es ist daher kein spezieller Oberflächenschutz notwendig. Ebenfalls müsssen keine Leitungen durch diese Regenrinne oder überhaupt durch die Karosserie nach außen geführt werden, was deren Herstellung vereinfacht. Die Auslegung der Antriebseinrichtung, beispielsweise bei Hydraulikzylinder deren Bauform, Hub, Durchmesser, Arbeitsdruck, etc., ist nicht mehr durch geometrische Verhältnisse im Außenbereich des Scharniers, dessen Kinematik nicht geändert werden muß, eingeschränkt, sondern kann frei und optimal auf das System abgestimmt werden. Selbstverständlich kann bei Abschalten des Antriebsmittels auch eine rein manuelle Betätigung des zu bewegenden Fahrzeugteils stattfinden. Da die Antriebseinrichtung nicht im äußeren Bereich des Scharniers sitzt, können auf beiden Seiten Gasfedern vorgesehen sein, sodaß das Gewicht des Fahrzeugteils auf beiden Seiten aufgenommen und damit eine einseitige Belastung vermieden werden kann.This task is achieved by an actuation arrangement as mentioned at the beginning solved, which is characterized in that the inner lever with the outer Part of the hinge is connected via a pivot pin, which pivot pin is passed through the body of the vehicle. Such Passing a pintle through the body is extremely effective for the transmission of the torque, can be sealed very well and also stabilize mechanically. The drive device and also its connection point with the hinge is optimally protected against corrosive media in the Interior of the vehicle housed and no longer in the gutter, being also the risk of water, corrosive media or dirt entering is minimized. No special surface protection is therefore necessary. Likewise, no pipes have to go through this gutter or through it at all the body are guided to the outside, which simplifies their manufacture. The design of the drive device, for example in the case of hydraulic cylinders their design, stroke, diameter, working pressure, etc., is no longer through geometric conditions in the outer area of the hinge, its kinematics does not have to be changed, restricted, but can freely and optimally the system can be tuned. Of course, when the Drive means also a purely manual actuation of the vehicle part to be moved occur. Since the drive device is not in the outer area of the hinge, gas springs can be provided on both sides, so that the weight of the vehicle part is absorbed on both sides and thus one-sided stress can be avoided.

Vorteilhafterweise ist vorgesehen, daß das Scharnier als Mehrgelenkscharnier, insbesonders als Viergelenkscharnier, ausgeführt ist, wobei eines der fahrzeugnäheren Scharniergelenke, vorzugsweise das der Fahrzeugmitte näherliegende Scharniergelenk, über den Drehbolzen mit dem Innenhebel verbunden ist. Diese Merkmalskombination bietet eine gute Kinematik des Scharniers mit optimaler Öffnung des Heckdeckels oder anderen Fahrzeugteils in Verbindung mit einer konstruktiv einfachen und stabilen Anbindung des Antriebsmittels an das Scharnier.It is advantageously provided that the hinge as a multi-joint hinge, is designed in particular as a four-joint hinge, one the hinge joints near the vehicle, preferably that of the center of the vehicle closer hinge joint, connected to the inner lever via the pivot pin is. This combination of features offers good kinematics of the hinge with optimal opening of the trunk lid or other vehicle part in connection with a structurally simple and stable connection of the drive means to the hinge.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Antriebsmittel ein vorzugsweise hydraulischer Arbeitszylinder. Diese Wahl des Antriebsmittels erlaubt eine exakte Betätigung des Heckdeckels od. dgl. mittels einfacher und bewährter Systeme.The drive means is advantageously a preferably hydraulic one Working cylinder. This choice of drive means allows precise actuation of the trunk lid or the like by means of simple and proven systems.

Um das System baulich sehr zu vereinfachen, kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Arbeitszylinder mit einem Ende, vorzugsweise mit der Kolbenstange, am Innenhebel des Scharniers angreift und mit seinem anderen Ende, vorzugsweise dem Boden, an einem fahrzeugnäheren Teil des Scharniers angelenkt ist. Damit wird das Scharnier selbst für die Anbindung des zweiten Endes des Arbeitszylinders genutzt und eine zusätzliche Anbringungsstelle mit zusätzlichem konstruktiven Aufwand dafür kann vermieden werden. Oft wird es von Vorteil sein, den ohnedies notwendigen Drehpunkt eines fahrzeugnäheren Scharniergelenks gleich auch als Anlenkpunkt für den Arbeitszylinder zu nutzen und so den Konstruktions- und Herstellungsaufwand weiter zu vermindern.In order to simplify the construction of the system very much, it can be provided that the working cylinder with one end, preferably with the piston rod, on Inner lever of the hinge attacks and with its other end, preferably the floor, is articulated on a part of the hinge near the vehicle. In order to becomes the hinge itself for connecting the second end of the working cylinder used and an additional attachment point with additional constructive effort for this can be avoided. It is often an advantage the necessary pivot point of a hinge joint near the vehicle can also be used as a pivot point for the working cylinder and so on to further reduce the design and manufacturing costs.

Um die bei automatischer Betätigung des Fahrzeugteils auftretenden starken Biegemomente an den Drehbolzen des Scharniers bzw. am Antriebsmittel aufzufangen, ist gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß zwischen dem Drehbolzen und einem weiteren fahrzeugfesten Punkt, vorzugsweise zwischen dem Drehbolzen und dem fahrzeugfesten Anlenkpunkt des Antriebsmittels, eine zug- und drucksteife, vorzugsweise auch biegesteife Verbindung vorgesehen ist. Damit kann ohne Behinderung der Dreh- bzw. Schwenkbewegungen des Scharniers eine mechanische Überbeanspruchung der Drehbolzen vermieden werden. Bei Viergelenkscharnieren fällt der fahrzeugfeste Anlenkpunkt des Antriebsmittels vorteilhafterweise mit dem zweiten fahrzeugnäheren Scharniergelenk zusammen, was eine sehr einfache Konstruktion unter Ausnutzung ohnedies vorhandener Anlenkpunkte ermöglicht.To those that occur with automatic actuation of the vehicle part strong bending moments on the pivot pins of the hinge or on the drive means to collect, it is provided according to a further feature of the invention that between the pivot pin and another point fixed to the vehicle, preferably between the pivot pin and the vehicle-specific articulation point of the drive means, a tension and compression resistant, preferably also rigid connection is provided. This allows the rotary or swivel movements to be carried out without obstruction the hinge prevents mechanical stress on the pivot pins become. In the case of four-joint hinges, the articulation point of the Drive means advantageously with the second hinge joint near the vehicle together, which is taking a very simple construction anyway existing articulation points enabled.

Speziell für Heckdeckel und Verdeck-Abdeckungen ist zur Erhaltung der optimalen Kinematik und zur Erzielung des bestmöglichen Schutzes des Antriebsmittels eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsanordnung vorteilhaft, bei welcher der Drehbolzen des Scharniers vom Innenraum des Fahrzeugs in die Regenrinne des Heckdeckels oder der Verdeck-Abdeckung geführt ist und das Antriebsmittel sowie der Innenhebel im Kofferraum bzw. Aufbewahrungsraum des Verdecks angeordnet sind.Specially for trunk lid and convertible top covers is to maintain the optimal kinematics and to achieve the best possible protection of the drive means an embodiment of the actuation arrangement according to the invention advantageous, in which the pivot pin of the hinge from the interior of the Vehicle in the rain gutter of the trunk lid or the convertible top cover is guided and the drive means and the inner lever in the trunk or Storage space of the convertible top are arranged.

In der nachfolgenden Beschreibung soll die Erfindung anhand einer in den beigefügten Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsform beispielhaft beschrieben werden.In the following description, the invention is based on one of the Embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings become.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt einen Schnitt an der Stelle der Durchführung eines Drehbolzens durch die Karosserie, Fig. 2 zeigt schematisch eine erste Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsanordnung mit einem Viergelenkscharnier, Fig. 3 ist eine andere Ausführungsform, wieder mit einem Viergelenkscharnier, und Fig. 4 zeigt eine Draufsicht, teilweise im Schnitt, auf einen Teil einer erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsanordnung mit stabilisierender Verbindung.Fig. 1 shows a section at the point of carrying out a Pivot pin through the body, Fig. 2 shows schematically a first embodiment an actuation arrangement according to the invention with a four-bar hinge, 3 is another embodiment, again with a four-bar hinge, and Fig. 4 shows a top view, partly in section part of an actuating arrangement according to the invention with stabilizing Connection.

In Fig. 2 ist schematisch dargestellt wie beispielsweise ein Heckdeckel 1 eines Fahrzeugs an dessen Karosserie, vorzugsweise im Bereich von dessen Regenrinne 2, über ein Viergelenkscharnier 3 - 8, 12, als Beispiel für ein Mehrgelenkscharnier, angebunden ist. Dabei ist der Heckdeckel 1 am Scharnieroberteil 3 mit seinen fahrzeugfernen Drehpunkten befestigt. Das Scharnierunterteil 6 und die fahrzeugnäheren Drehpunkte 7, 12 sind vorzugsweise (wie in Fig. 4 besser ersichtlich ist) an einer Seitenflanke der Regenrinne 2 plaziert. Die Schwenkbewegung zum Öffnen und Schließen des Heckdeckels 1 wird durch die unterschiedliche Länge der beiden Scharnierhebel 4 und 5 bei deren Verschwenkung bewirkt.In Fig. 2 is shown schematically such as a boot lid 1 of a vehicle on its body, preferably in the area of its Rain gutter 2, via a four-joint hinge 3 - 8, 12, as an example for a Multi-joint hinge, is tied. The boot lid 1 is on the hinge upper part 3 attached with its remote pivot points. The hinge lower part 6 and the pivot points 7, 12 near the vehicle are preferred (as can be seen better in FIG. 4) on a side flank of the gutter 2 placed. The pivoting movement for opening and closing the boot lid 1 is due to the different length of the two hinge levers 4 and 5 at their Swiveling causes.

Erfindungsgemäß ist einer der Scharnierhebel 4, 5, vorzugsweise der der Fahrzeugmitte nähere Scharnierhebel 4, über einen Drehbolzen 15 (siehe Fig. 1) mit dem Innenhebel 8 verbunden, an welchem Innenhebel 8 die Kolbenstange 9 eines als Antriebsmittel eingesetzten Hydraulikzylinders 10 angreift. Zum Öffnen des Heckdeckels 1 wird die Kolbenstange 9 ausgefahren und der Innenhebel 8 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verschwenkt. Das Drehmoment wird über den Drehbolzen 15 auf den Scharnierhebel 4 übertragen, und über die Scharnierverbindungen auch auf den Scharnierhebel 5. Dadurch wird der Scharnieroberteil 3 im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt und gleichzeitig etwas angehoben, sodaß der Heckdeckel 1 in die offene Stellung gebracht wird. Die Schließbewegung wird durch ein Einfahren der Kolbenstange 9 in den Arbeitszylinder 10 bewirkt, wobei die soeben beschriebenen Bewegungen in die jeweilige Gegenrichtung verlaufen. Zur manuellen Betätigung des Heckdeckels 1 od. dgl. wird das Antiebsmittel, hier der Arbeitszylinder 10, drucklos geschaltet.According to the invention, one of the hinge levers 4, 5, preferably that of Hinge lever 4 closer to the center of the vehicle, via a pivot pin 15 (see Fig. 1) connected to the inner lever 8, on which inner lever 8 the piston rod 9 of a hydraulic cylinder 10 used as drive means. To the Opening the trunk lid 1, the piston rod 9 is extended and the inner lever 8 pivoted counterclockwise. The torque is over the pivot pin 15 transferred to the hinge lever 4, and via the hinge connections also on the hinge lever 5. As a result, the hinge upper part 3 in Swiveled clockwise and slightly raised at the same time, so that the boot lid 1 is brought into the open position. The closing movement is through retraction of the piston rod 9 in the working cylinder 10, the movements just described run in the opposite direction. For manual operation of the trunk lid 1 or the like. The driving means, here the working cylinder 10, depressurized.

In der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Boden des Arbeitszylinders 10 am zweiten fahrzeugnäheren Drehpunkt 12 des Viergelenkscharniers 3 - 8, 12 angelenkt. Es ist aber auch möglich, den Boden des Zylinders 10 um eine zu den Achsen des Viergelenkscharniers 3 - 8, 12 parallele Achse schwenkbar an einem anderen, fahrzeugnäheren Teil des Scharniers oder auch einem fahrzeugfesten Punkt 13 außerhalb des Bereiches des Viergelenkscharniers 3 - 8, 12 anzulenken, wie dies in der schematischen Darstellung der Fig. 3 gezeigt ist. In jedem Fall kann aber der Zylinder 10 geschützt gegen korrosive Medien, Feuchtigkeit und Schmutz im Inneren des Fahrzeuges, hier im Kofferraum, untergebracht sein. Auch müssen keine Leitungen für das Druckmittel durch die Regenrinne 2 verlegt werden, wodurch diese auch kleiner gemacht werden kann.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 is the bottom of the working cylinder 10 at the second pivot point 12 of the four-bar hinge nearer the vehicle 3 - 8, 12 hinged. But it is also possible to use the bottom of the Cylinder 10 about a parallel to the axes of the four-bar hinge 3-8, 12 Axle swiveling on another part of the hinge that is closer to the vehicle or a point 13 fixed to the vehicle outside the area of the four-bar hinge 3 - 8, 12 hinged, as shown in the schematic representation 3 is shown. In any case, the cylinder 10 can be protected against corrosive media, moisture and dirt inside the Vehicle, here in the trunk. Also, there are no wires for the pressure medium through the gutter 2, whereby this can also be made smaller.

Da das Gewicht des Heckdeckels 1 nicht unbeträchtlich ist und es daher beim Öffen zu Beginn der Bewegung und beim Schließen zu Ende der Bewegung zu starken Biegemomenten auf den Drehbolzen 15, den Zylinder 10 und die Kolbenstange 9 kommt, ist vorteilhafterweise eine zug- und druckfeste Verbindung 14, vorzugsweise auch biegesteif, als Stabilisator vorgesehen (siehe Fig. 4), der diese Biegemomente aufnimmt. Diese Verbindung 14 ist beispielsweise ein Rechteckprofil, das zwischen den Drehpunkten 7 und 12 des Viergelenkscharniers eingesetzt ist, wobei es an der Seite der die Drehachse bildenden Bolzen 15, 16 angreift, die deren Seite gegenüberliegt, die in der Karosserie, beispielsweise der Seitenflanke der Regenrinne 2 gehalten ist. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Verbindung 14 zwischen dem karosseriefesten Anlenkpunkt des Arbeitszylinders 9, 10 und dem Drehpunkt 7 eingesetzt, gleich wo sich der besagte karosseriefeste Anlenkpunkt befindet (im Drehpunkt 12, an einem fahrzeugnäheren Teil des Scharniers, direkt an der Karosserie außerhalb des Scharniers, etc.).Since the weight of the boot lid 1 is not inconsiderable and therefore it when opening at the beginning of the movement and when closing at the end of the movement strong bending moments on the pivot pin 15, the cylinder 10 and the piston rod 9 comes, is advantageously a tensile and pressure resistant connection 14, preferably also rigid, provided as a stabilizer (see Fig. 4), which absorbs these bending moments. This connection 14 is for example a rectangular profile between the pivot points 7 and 12 of the four-bar hinge is used, it being on the side of the axis of rotation Bolt 15, 16 attacks, the opposite side of which in the body, for example, the side flank of the gutter 2 is held. Advantageously is the connection 14 between the articulation point fixed to the body the working cylinder 9, 10 and the pivot point 7 used, no matter where the said articulation point fixed to the body is at (pivot point 12) a part of the hinge near the vehicle, directly on the body outside of the hinge, etc.).

In Fig. 1 ist ein Schnitt durch die Anordnung im Bereich der Durchführung des Drehbolzens 15 durch die Karosserie dargestellt. Der Innenrand der Regenrinne 2 wird durch einen Dichtgummi 17 abgeschlossen und die Seitenflanke 18 der Regenrinne 2, durch welche der Bolzen 15 hindurchgeführt ist, geht dann in die Wölbung 19 des Kotflügels über. Ganz links außen am Drehbolzen 15 sitzt drehfest der Innenhebel 8 - wobei noch weiter außen allenfalls eine Distanzhülse, die Verbindung 14 und zumindest ein Halteelement vorgesehen sein könnten. Direkt an der Flanke 18 der Regenrinne 2 ist ein Distanz- und Dichtelement 20 vorgesehen, an welchem der Scharnierunterteil 6 anliegt. Dann folgt eine weitere Distanzscheibe 21 zwischen diesem Scharnierunterteil 6 und dem wieder drehfest auf dem Drehbolzen 15 fixierten Scharnierhebel 4. Diese Übertragung des Drehmoments vom Innenhebel 8 auf den Scharnierhebel 4 über den Drehbolzen 15 ist besonders effektiv und konstruktiv einfach zu realisieren. Die drehfeste Verbindung von Innenhebel 8 und Scharnierhebel 4 mit dem Drehbolzen 15 kann über eine kraft- oder formschlüssige Verbindung realisiert werden.In Fig. 1 is a section through the arrangement in the area of the implementation of the pivot pin 15 represented by the body. The inside edge the gutter 2 is closed by a rubber seal 17 and the side flank 18 of the gutter 2, through which the bolt 15 is passed, then goes into the curvature 19 of the fender. On the far left of the pivot pin 15 sits the inner lever 8 in a rotationally fixed manner - although still further out at most a spacer sleeve, the connection 14 and at least one holding element could be provided. Directly on the flank 18 of the gutter 2 is a Spacer and sealing element 20 is provided, on which the lower hinge part 6 is present. Then another spacer 21 follows between this lower hinge part 6 and fixed again in a rotationally fixed manner on the pivot pin 15 Hinge lever 4. This transmission of torque from the inner lever 8 to the Hinge lever 4 over the pivot pin 15 is particularly effective and constructive easy to implement. The non-rotatable connection of inner lever 8 and Hinge lever 4 with the pivot pin 15 can have a non-positive or positive Connection can be realized.
