Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftfahrzeugstür, mit den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a motor vehicle door, with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Kraftfahrzeugstür ist durch die US-A-4 575 138 bekannt.Such a motor vehicle door is through the US-A-4 575 138 known.

Ein weiteres Türschloß an einem Kraftfahrzeug ist beispielsweise durch die DE-OS 25 22 301 bekannt, bei der eine vormontierte Schloßbaugruppe mit einer Schloßfalle und einer damit zusammenwirkenden Sperrklinke, sowie einem Zentralverriegelungsantrieb in einem Hohlraum einer Fahrzeugtür angeordnet und am hinteren Stirnbereich der Fahrzeugtür befestigt ist. Das Türschloß ist unter Zwischenschaltung von Übertragungselementen beispielsweise mit einem an der Türinnenseite höhenverstellbaren Innensicherungsknopf, einem Türinnengriff und einer Elektroleitung einer Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung verbunden. In den Hohlraum der Fahrzeugtür ist eine Fensterscheibe abzusenken, in den bei nassem Wetter Feuchtigkeit eindringen kann. Die in dem Hohlraum befindliche Steckverbindung zur Verbindung der Elektroleitung mit der Schloßbaugruppe ist wasserdicht auszubilden, um Funktionsstörungen durch in die Steckverbindung eindringendes Wasser zu vermeiden. Die Gestänge- oder Übertragungselemente des Türschlosses, die über Durchtrittsöffnungen in einem Wandbereich aus dem Hohlraum herausgeführt und beispielsweise mit einem Türinnengriff verbunden sind, müssen an den Durchtrittsöffnungen abgedichtet werden, wenn ein Feuchtigkeitsübertritt von dem Hohlraum beispielsweise in den Fahrgastraum oder in einen an den Hohlraum angrenzenden Raum verhindert werden soll. Dies erfordert einen erhöhten Aufwand, wenn diese Elemente verstellbar angeordnet sind. Die Montage der Gestänge- oder Übertragungselemente ist bei bereits montierter Schloßbaugruppe nur solange möglich, wie der Hohlraum noch zugänglich ist. Eine den Hohlraum teilweise oder vollständig verschließende Schall- bzw. Wasserisolierung, beispielsweise aus einem Schaumstoff, kann erst nach der Montage der Gestänge- bzw. Übertragungselemente in den Hohlraum eingebracht werden, wodurch die Fertigung der Fahrzeugtür erschwert ist.Another door lock on a motor vehicle is for example by the DE-OS 25 22 301 known in which a preassembled lock assembly with a latch and a cooperating pawl, and a central locking drive is arranged in a cavity of a vehicle door and secured to the rear end portion of the vehicle door. The door lock is connected with the interposition of transmission elements, for example, with a height-adjustable on the inside of the door inside locking button, a door inside handle and an electrical line of a central locking device. In the cavity of the vehicle door is a window to lower, in the wet weather can penetrate moisture. The connector located in the cavity for connecting the electrical line to the lock assembly is waterproof to train to prevent malfunction by penetrating into the connector water. The linkage or transmission elements of the door lock, which are led out of the cavity via passage openings in a wall region and are connected, for example, to a door inner handle, must be sealed at the passage openings if a moisture transfer from the cavity occurs, for example, into the passenger compartment or into a cavity adjacent to the cavity Space should be prevented. This requires an increased effort when these elements are arranged adjustable. The assembly of the linkage or transmission elements is only possible as long as the cavity is still accessible with the lock assembly already installed. A partial or complete occlusion of the cavity sound or water insulation, for example of a foam, can be introduced into the cavity only after the assembly of the linkage or transmission elements, whereby the production of the vehicle door is difficult.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Türschloß eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit den Merkmalen im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 anzugeben, das eine einfachere Fertigung einer mit dem Türschloß versehenen Fahrzeugtür ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a door lock of a motor vehicle with the features in the preamble of claim 1, which allows for easier production of a door lock provided with the vehicle door.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.This object is solved by the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the dependent claims.

Mit der Erfindung kann die Verbindung der Übertragungselemente mit den Elementen der Schloßbaugruppe zu einem beliebigen späteren Zeitpunkt erfolgen, nachdem die vormontierte Schloßbaugruppe in den Hohlraum der Fahrzeugtür eingebracht und im hinteren Bereich der Fahrzeugtür befestigt wurde. Dies ist bei der Fertigung der mit dem Türschloß versehenen Fahrzeugtür vorteilhaft, da die Übertragungselemente beispielsweise an der Innenseite einer Türverkleidung separat vormontiert werden können. Außerdem kann bei noch nicht montierter Türverkleidung in einfacherer Weise eine Schallisolierung in den Hohlraum der Fahrzeugtür eingebracht werden und es kann dabei die Türverkleidung nicht verschmutzt werden. Ist ein Übertragungselement eine Elektroleitung, die über eine Steckverbindung mit der Schloßbaugruppe zu verbinden ist, so ist eine wasserdichte Ausbildung der Steckverbindung nicht erforderlich.With the invention, the connection of the transmission elements with the elements of the lock assembly can be made at any later time after the preassembled lock assembly has been inserted into the cavity of the vehicle door and secured in the rear of the vehicle door. This is advantageous in the production of the door provided with the door lock door, since the transmission elements can be pre-assembled separately, for example, on the inside of a door trim. In addition, a sound insulation can be introduced into the cavity of the vehicle door in a simpler manner when not yet mounted door trim and it can not be dirty, the door panel. If a transmission element is an electric line which is to be connected via a plug connection with the lock assembly, a watertight construction of the plug connection is not required.

Das in Figur 1 an einer linken vorderen Kraftfahrzeugtür 1 vorgesehene Türschloß weist eine vormontierte Schloßbaugruppe 2 auf, die in Draufsicht gesehen einen etwa winkelförmigen Schloßträger 3 aufweist, an dem eine lediglich symbolisch dargestellte Schloßfalle 4 und eine die Schloßfalle 4 in ihrer Schließlage verriegelnde Sperrklinke 5 verstellbar befestigt sind. Die vormontierte, in einem Hohlraum 6 der linken vorderen Fahrzeugtür 1 eines Kraftfahrzeugs angeordnete Schloßbaugruppe 2 ist am hinteren Stirnbereich der Fahrzeugtür 1 befestigt. Damit ein an der Fahrzeugkarosserie ortsfest angeordneter Bolzen mit der Schloßfalle 4 zusammenwirken kann, ist der Hohlraum 6 an seinem hinteren Bereich 7 offen ausgebildet und die Schloßbaugruppe 2 mit einem Einführungsschlitz 8 gefertigt. Der Hohlraum 6 der Fahrzeugtür 1 ist vom Fahrgastraum her von einem Wandbereich 9 begrenzt, in dem eine Durchtrittsöffnung 10 ausgebildet ist. Die Durchtrittsöffnung 10 ist von einem Schenkelbereich 11 der in Draufsicht winkelförmig ausgebildeten Schloßbaugruppe 2 überdeckt. Mehrere Schloßbetätigungselemente ermöglichen ein Schalten bzw. Betätigen von zugeordneten Teilen des Schlosses. Es kann beispielsweise durch Höhenverlagerung eines an der Türinnenseite höhenverstellbaren Innensicherungsknopfes 12 ein Schwenkhebel 13 der Schloßbaugruppe 2 in eine Verriegelungslage verstellt werden, in der sich das mit einem Türaußengriff in Verbindung stehende Türschloß durch Verschwenken des Türaußengriffes nicht öffnen läßt. Die Verbindungsstelle eines den Innensicherungsknopf 12 stützenden Übertragungselements 14 mit dem Schwenkhebel 13 befindet sich in Querrichtung des Fahrzeugs gesehen innerhalb der Durchtrittsöffnung 10. Das Türschloß kann außerdem über eine elektrische bzw. elektronische Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung in eine Sicherungslage gebracht werden. Zur Ansteuerung des Türschlosses weist die Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung eine Elektroleitung 24 mit einem Stekker 25 auf, der durch die Durchtrittsöffnung 10 hindurch in die Steckeraufnahme 15 der Schloßbaugruppe 2 einsteckbar ist. Der nicht dargestellte Türinnengriff ist mit einem Bowdenzug 16 verbunden, der in einer ortsfesten Seilaufnahme 17 ein Seil 18 führt, das über ein Seilendteil 19 mit einem Schwenkteil 20 der Schloßbaugruppe 2 verbunden ist. Das Schwenkteil 20 steht mit der Sperrklinke 5 in Verbindung, so daß durch Betätigung des Türinnengriffes das Seil 18 und das Schwenkteil 20 verstellt und damit die Sperrklinke 5 außer Eingriff mit der Schloßfalle 4 gebracht wird. Die Verbindungsstelle des Seilendteiles 19 mit dem Schwenkteil 20 befindet sich in Querrichtung des Fahrzeugs gesehen innerhalb der Durchtrittsöffnung 10. Da die angegebenen Verbindungsstellen im Bereich der Durchtrittsöffnung 10 liegen, können die Betätigungs- und Übertragungselemente, beispielsweise eine Elektroleitung, außerhalb des Hohlraumes 6 angeordnet und zu einem beliebigen späteren Zeitpunkt mit den zugeordneten Elementen der Schloßbaugruppe über die Durchtrittsöffnung 10 verbunden werden, nachdem die Schloßbaugruppe an der Fahrzeugtür montiert wurde. Bei noch nicht montierten Betätigungs- und Übertragungselementen und vorzugsweise noch nicht montierter Türverkleidung kann in einfacherer Weise und ohne die Türverkleidung zu verschmutzen nach der Befestigung der Schloßbaugruppe eine Schallisolierung in den Hohlraum eingebracht werden, der eine seitliche Fensterscheibe aufnehmen kann. Eine sichere Abdichtung der Schloßbaugruppe 2 gegenüber einem an die Durchtrittsöffnung 10 angrenzenden Randbereich 22 des Wandbereiches 9 kann durch Zwischenlegen einer Dichtung 23 erfolgen, die um die Durchtrittsöffnung 10 herum verlegt ist.This in FIG. 1 provided on a left front vehicle door 1 door lock has a preassembled lock assembly 2, seen in plan view has an approximately angular lock carrier 3, to which only a symbolically illustrated latch 4 and the lock latch 4 in its closed position locking pawl 5 are adjustably mounted. The preassembled, arranged in a cavity 6 of the left front vehicle door 1 of a motor vehicle lock assembly 2 is attached to the rear end portion of the vehicle door 1. In order for a bolt fixedly arranged on the vehicle body to interact with the lock catch 4, the cavity 6 is designed to be open at its rear area 7 and the lock assembly 2 is manufactured with an insertion slot 8. The cavity 6 of the vehicle door 1 is bounded from the passenger compartment by a wall region 9 in which a passage opening 10 is formed. The passage opening 10 is covered by a leg portion 11 of the angle-shaped in plan view lock assembly 2. Several lock actuators allow switching or actuation of associated parts of the lock. It can be adjusted, for example, by height displacement of a height-adjustable inside the door inner locking button 12, a pivot lever 13 of the lock assembly 2 in a locking position in which the standing with an outside door handle associated door lock by pivoting the outside door handle do not open. The junction of a support member 14 supporting the inner fuse button 12 with the pivot lever 13 is located in the transverse direction of the vehicle seen within the passage opening 10. The door lock can also be brought via an electrical or electronic central locking device in a backup position. To control the door lock, the central locking device has an electric line 24 with a Stekker 25 which is inserted through the passage opening 10 into the connector receptacle 15 of the lock assembly 2. The inside door handle, not shown, is connected to a Bowden cable 16, which leads in a stationary cable receptacle 17, a cable 18 which is connected via a cable end 19 with a pivot member 20 of the lock assembly 2. The pivot member 20 is in communication with the pawl 5, so that the cable 18 and the pivot member 20 is adjusted by actuation of the door inner handle and thus the pawl 5 is disengaged from the latch 4. The connection point of the cable end part 19 with the pivoting part 20 is located in the transverse direction of the vehicle within the passage opening 10. Since the specified connection points are in the region of the passage opening 10, the actuating and transmission elements, such as an electric line, outside the cavity 6 and arranged be connected at any later time with the associated elements of the lock assembly via the passage opening 10 after the lock assembly has been mounted on the vehicle door. For not yet assembled actuation and transmission elements and preferably not yet mounted door trim can be introduced in a simpler manner and without the door trim after mounting the lock assembly a sound insulation in the cavity, which can accommodate a side window. A secure sealing of the lock assembly 2 with respect to an adjacent to the passage opening 10 edge portion 22 of the wall portion 9 can be done by interposing a seal 23 which is laid around the passage opening 10 around.

Wie Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist, ragt der Schwenkhebel 13 mit einem Quersteg 13a durch die Durchtrittsöffnung 10 ein wenig aus dem Hohlraum 6 heraus und ist an diesem Ende mit einer in Türquerrichtung verlaufenden Einstecköffnung 21 versehen. Nach der Montage der vormontierten Schloßbaugruppe 2 an der Fahrzeugtür 1 kann zu einem beliebigen späteren Zeitpunkt, beispielsweise bei der Montage einer Türverkleidung, das Übertragungselement 14 bzw. im vorliegenden Fall ein abgewinkelter Schenkel 14a des Übertragungselements 14 seitlich vom Fahrgastraum her in die Einstecköffnung 21 eingebracht und, falls dies erforderlich ist, in geeigneter Weise fixiert werden.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the pivoting lever 13 protrudes with a transverse web 13a through the passage opening 10 slightly out of the cavity 6 and is provided at this end with an insertion opening 21 running in the door transverse direction. After mounting the preassembled lock assembly 2 on the vehicle door 1, the transmission element 14 or in the present case an angled leg 14a of the transmission element 14 laterally inserted from the passenger compartment into the insertion opening 21 and at any later time, for example when installing a door trim if necessary, be fixed in a suitable manner.

Figur 3 soll verdeutlichen, daß auch der mit der Elektroleitung 24 der Zentralverriegelungseinrichtung in Verbindung stehende Stecker 25 zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt nach der Montage der Schloßbaugruppe 2, beispielsweise bei der Montage einer Türverkleidung, an deren Innenseite die Elektroleitung 24 fixiert sein kann, mit der Steckeraufnahme 15 an der Schloßbaugruppe zu verbinden ist, die in Querrichtung des Fahrzeugs gesehen, in der Durchtrittsöffnung 10 angeordnet ist.Figure 3 is intended to illustrate that even with the electric cable 24 of the central locking device associated connector 25 at any time after the assembly of the lock assembly 2, for example when installing a door trim on the inside of the electrical line 24 may be fixed to the plug receptacle 15 is to be connected to the lock assembly, seen in the transverse direction of the vehicle, is arranged in the passage opening 10.

Der Draufsicht gemäß Figur 4 ist zu entnehmen, daß das mit der Sperrklinke in Verbindung stehende Schwenkteil 20 mit einem seitlichen Arm 20a etwas durch die Durchtrittsöffnung 10 aus dem Hohlraum 6 herausragt und an dieser Stelle mit dem Seilendteil 19 des Seiles 18 gelenkig verbunden ist. Bei der vorliegenden Ausführung ist die Seilaufnahme 17 an einem Steg 26 der Schloßbaugruppe 2 ortsfest gehalten, an dem ein Halteteil 27 der Seilaufnahme 17 beispielsweise festklipsbar oder in anderer Weise lösbar zu fixieren ist.The plan view of Figure 4 it can be seen that standing with the pawl in connection pivot member 20 protrudes slightly with a side arm 20a through the passage opening 10 from the cavity 6 and is pivotally connected at this point with the Seilendteil 19 of the cable 18. In the present embodiment, the cable receptacle 17 is held stationary on a web 26 of the lock assembly 2, to which a holding part 27 of the cable receptacle 17, for example, festklipsbar or releasably fix in other ways.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel sind mehrere außerhalb des Hohlraumes angeordnete Übertragungselemente durch eine gemeinsame Durchtrittsöffnung mit einem zugeordneten Element der Schloßbaugruppe verbunden. Das Element der Schloßbaugruppe kann auch ein Stecker oder eine Steckeraufnahme sein, die über eine kurze Elektroleitung mit der Schloßbaugruppe verbunden ist, die durch die Durchtrittsöffnung hindurch etwas aus dem Hohlraum heraus ragt. In dem Wandbereich können auch mehrere Durchtrittsöffnungen ausgebildet sein, durch die jeweils ein einziges Übertragungselement oder einige Übertragungselemente mit den zugeordneten Elementen der Schloßbaugruppe zu verbinden sind. Nachdem die Durchtrittsöffnung von einem Bereich der Schloßbaugruppe überdeckt ist, muß eine eventuell verwendete Steckverbindung nicht wasserdicht ausgebildet sein. Eine bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel verwendete Dichtung zwischen der Schloßbaugruppe und dem Wandbereich kann auch entfallen, wenn die Schloßbaugruppe die Durchtrittsöffnung ausreichend überdeckt. Die Betätigungs- und Übertragungselemente können beliebige Teile sein, die mit beliebigen Elementen der Schloßbaugruppe zu verbinden sind.In the embodiment, a plurality of transmission elements arranged outside the cavity are connected by a common passage opening with an associated element of the lock assembly. The element of the lock assembly can also be a plug or a plug receptacle, which is connected via a short electrical line to the lock assembly, which projects slightly out of the cavity through the passage opening. In the wall region and a plurality of passage openings may be formed, are to be connected by the respective one transmission element or some transmission elements with the associated elements of the lock assembly. After the passage opening is covered by a region of the lock assembly, any plug connection that may be used need not be made watertight. A seal used in the embodiment between the lock assembly and the wall portion may also be omitted if the lock assembly sufficiently covers the passage opening. The actuating and transmission elements may be any parts that are to be connected to any elements of the lock assembly.
