Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lock for a movable arrangement such as door, tailgate or the like of a vehicle, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a lock with lock components such as catch and pawl is known in which the pawl locks or releases the catch.
  • the release takes place in response to instructions of an operator, possibly via a remote control, characterized in that an actuator is operated, which moves the pawl, whereby the catch is released, so that the movable assembly (such as door, tailgate or the like) opens or can be opened.
  • This lock works in and of itself satisfactory, but has the disadvantage that, for safety reasons, additional facilities are required by means of which a mechanical connection between a handle and the component of the lock given or can be produced in an emergency.
  • this is a variety of Bowden cables that transmit an operation of the handle on the actuator or the pawl via a lifting mechanism in an emergency.
  • a large number of additional components is required, which require a disproportionately high installation effort, since as a rule the handle is disposed away from the lock. Therefore, the Bowden cables must be laid in particular in the body of the door, which not only leads to a high assembly cost, but also to high material costs.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a lock that meets the necessary safety precautions in terms of comfort so that in case of failure of an actuator is still given an opening of the movable assembly.
  • the plurality of components of the cited prior art which relate to the redundancy (such as Bowden cables, lever mechanism, etc.) are replaced by a further actuator which directly or indirectly to the component, in particular the pawl of the castle acts.
  • a further actuator which directly or indirectly to the component, in particular the pawl of the castle acts.
  • direct drive is to be understood that whenever the first actuator is turned on, at the same time the other actuator is turned on, so that in case of failure of an actuator still another actuator for the opening of the movable assembly is available.
  • direct drive is to be understood that the movement of the actuator is transmitted without translation or translation or without changing the transmission movement to the component. This is the case, for example, in the case of an actuator designed as an electromagnet with an actuating element, in which the linear movement of the actuating element is transmitted directly to the pawl.
  • FIG. 1 shows a detail of a lock, in which components such as remote control, handling detectors for detecting the operation of the handles and other elements of the lock are not shown.
  • a provided in Figure 1 by the reference numeral 1 pawl drive has a rotary latch 2, which engages in a conventional manner a locking pin 3, whereby the movable assembly is held in its closed state.
  • the rotary latch 2 is locked in the position shown by a pawl 4, wherein the pawl 4 is movable about a pivot point 5. If the pawl 4 is partially rotated clockwise around the fulcrum 5 as viewed in FIG. 1, the catch 2 is released so that the movable assembly can be opened.
  • the rotary latch 2 and the pawl 4 are each biased with a rotary latch spring 6 and a pawl spring 7 in the position shown in Figure 1.
  • a rotation of the gear segment 8 takes place in a clockwise direction, whereby the pawl 4 is taken and thereby the catch 2 is released.
  • the gear segment 8 returns, for example, by spring load or by reversing the direction of rotation of the actuator 10 in its initial position, which is defined by a stop 12.
  • a further actuator 13 is provided, which is also designed as an electric motor which carries a further pinion 14 on its drive shaft.
  • the two actuators 10 and 13 are designed as identical electric motors, which are inexpensive and reduce the variety of parts.
  • the pinion 14 meshes with another gear segment 15, wherein the gear segment 15 carries a gear 16 of smaller diameter, said gear 16 meshes with the gear segment 8.
  • a transmission is arranged both between the first actuator 10 and the pawl 4 and between the further actuator 13 and the pawl 4, wherein the two gears are free-running against each other.
  • the two gears designed as a reduction gear are designed so that the transmission between the further actuator 13 and the pawl 4 has a higher reduction than the transmission between the first actuator 10 and the pawl 4.
  • the actuator 10 has a low Moment (for example, between 1 to 5 Nm) generated with the pawl 4 in a short time (for example in the time range between 10 and 500 ms.) Can be moved from its locked position to the release position.
  • the further reduction gear is designed so that the actuator 13 generates a high torque (for example in the range of 10 to 50 Nm) during a longer period of time (for example between 1 and 5 sec.).
  • the actuator 13 is normally deactivated, that is, that this is not controlled. If the operation of the rotary latch switch 17 is omitted within a predefinable period of time or after a predetermined period of time, which means that the door can not be opened by means of the actuator 10, the actuator 13 is actuated instead of the actuator 10, so that by means of this the electromechanical opening the movable assembly is initiated. In addition, the further actuator 13 after detection of an accident (for example, in the presence of a trigger signal for an airbag) are switched on directly or delayed. In the event that the power supply of the vehicle fails in an accident, at least for the actuator 13, ideally for both actuators 10 and 13, an emergency power supply can be provided.

Claims (6)

  1. Serrure pour une porte ou un haillon mobile d'un véhicule automobile, comportant un entraînement de positionnement (10) travaillant de façon non manuelle, pour entraîner un composant de la serrure, en particulier un cliquet d'arrêt (4), pour venir dans au moins une position prédéterminée,
    caractérisée en ce que, pour l'entraînement du composant lors de la défaillance du premier entraînement de positionnement (10), il est prévu un autre entraînement de positionnement (13), travaillant également de façon non manuelle, à l'aide duquel le composant est entraîné, de même, pour venir dans ladite au moins une position prédéterminée .
  2. Serrure suivant la revendication 1,
    caractérisée en ce qu'un engrenage est disposé entre le premier entraînement de positionnement (10) et le composant, ou entre l'autre entraînement de positionnement (13) et le composant.
