Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die vorliegende Erfindung beschreibt eine Türgriffeinheit.The present invention describes a door handle unit.

Es sind Sicherungssysteme für Fahrzeuge entwickelt worden, die an Stelle einer ferngesteuerten Aktivierung durch einen Sendeempfänger oder Transponder, durch die Betätigung eines Türgriffes des Fahrzeuges aktiviert werden. Eine Person, die in das Fahrzeug einsteigen möchte, kann dies dann durch Betätigung des Türgriffs, wie man das normalerweise beim Fahrzeugeinstieg macht, tun, wodurch ein Aktivierungssignal zu dem Sicherungssystem des Fahrzeuges gesendet wird. Das Sicherungssystem führt normalerweise alle notwendigen Abfragen aus, wie zum Beispiel Zugriff auf die Zugangskennung, die in einem von der Person mitgeführten Transponder gespeichert sein kann, um zu bestimmen, ob die zugangsuchende Person berechtigt ist. Sobald der Benutzer als berechtigt angesehen wird, schließt das Sicherheitssystem bei der Aktivierung die Türen des Fahrzeuges auf, um Eintritt zu gewähren. Die Aktivierung oder das Aufschließsignal wird durch das Schließen eines elektromechanischen Schalters erzeugt, was dadurch geschieht, dass die Türgriffe zum mechanischen Entriegeln der Sperreinrichtung der Tür betätigt werden. Systeme dieser Art können ebenfalls für den Zugang zu anderen gesicherten Bereichen, wie zum Beispiel private oder gewerbliche Gebäude verwendet werden.Security systems have been developed for vehicles that instead of remote-controlled activation by a Transceiver or transponder, by pressing one Door handle of the vehicle can be activated. A person who is in the vehicle wants to get in, this can be done by actuation the door handle, as you normally do when entering the vehicle makes, do what gives an activation signal to that The vehicle's security system is sent. The Security systems usually carry out all necessary queries such as access to the access code that is in a transponder carried by the person can determine whether the person seeking access is authorized is. As soon as the user is regarded as authorized, closes the security system when activating the doors of the Vehicle to allow entry. The activation or the unlock signal is obtained by closing a electromechanical switch produces what happens by that the door handles for mechanically unlocking the Locking device of the door can be operated. Systems of this kind can also be secured for access to others Areas, such as private or commercial buildings be used.

Zum Beispiel beschreibt die europäische Patentveröffentlichung Nr. 502566 der Delco Electronics, wie die Kommunikation zwischen einer Basiseinheit 12 und einer Ferneinheit 10 eingeleitet wird, wenn der Bediener an einem Türgriff des Fahrzeuges zieht. Die europäische Patentveröffentlichung Nr. 502234 der Siemens AG beschreibt ein Zentralverriegelungssystem mit einem Empfänger (E), der ein Signal (C) von einem Kontakt (K) erhält, wenn die Tür geöffnet wird. Der Kontakt (K) ist in dem Türgriff (T) eingebaut.For example, describes the European patent publication No. 502566 from Delco Electronics, how to communicate between a base unit 12 and a remote unit 10 is initiated, when the operator pulls on a door handle of the vehicle.

The contact (K) is in the door handle (T) built-in.

Ein Nachteil des oben angegebenen Zugangssystems mit Türgriff ist, dass eine berechtigte Person, die einstiegen möchte, eventuell den Türgriff schneller bedient als das Sicherungssystem die Türen aufschließen kann, insbesondere die Tür, die die Person öffnen möchte. Dies kann nicht nur zu steigender Frustration der Benutzer des Systems, sondern auch zu Verletzungen führen, wenn die Tür nicht rechtzeitig geöffnet wird. Dem entsprechend ist es erwünscht, eine Türgriffeinheit, die diese Nachteile behebt, herzustellen oder zumindest eine nützliche Alternative zu präsentieren.A disadvantage of the above-mentioned access system with a door handle is that an authorized person who wants to join possibly operated the door handle faster than that Security system can unlock the doors, especially the Door that the person wants to open. This can't just be increasing frustration of the users of the system, but also to Injuries result if the door is not opened on time becomes. Accordingly, it is desirable to have a door handle unit, that overcomes these drawbacks, or at least one useful alternative to present.

    • Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments

    Eine Türgriffeinheit 2, wie sie in Figur 1 gezeigt ist, enthält eine gegossene Basis 4, welche in die Tür des Fahrzeuges eingepasst ist und einen Griff 6, welcher verschwenkbar an einem Ende 8 der Basis 4 angebracht ist. Der Griff 6 kann durch eine Person, die in das Fahrzeug steigen möchte, gefasst und von der Basis 4 in die durch den Pfeil 10 angezeigte Richtung wegbewegt werden, so dass ein mechanischer Verriegelungsmechanismus zum Öffnen der Tür gelöst wird. A door handle unit 2, as shown in Figure 1, contains a cast base 4, which is in the door of the vehicle is fitted and a handle 6 which is pivotable on one End 8 of the base 4 is attached. The handle 6 can by a Person who wants to get into the vehicle, caught and by the Base 4 moved away in the direction indicated by arrow 10 be so that a mechanical locking mechanism for Opening the door is solved.

    Der Griff 6, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, beinhaltet eine starre oder flexible gedruckte Platine 12 mit Berührungskontakten 14. Die Berührungskontakte 14 verlaufen entlang des Griffes 6. Sie können durch eine Vielzahl von Verfahren hergestellt werden, wie zum Beispiel Foto-Ätzen, Formen, elektrisch leitendes Bedrucken oder Folien-Transfer. Zu den Kontakten 14 ausgerichtet sind eine Anzahl an beweglichen Kontaktbrücken oder Felder 16, welche einen Teil einer flexiblen Druckfläche 18 bilden, welche die Kontakte 14 und die gedruckte Platine 12 abdecken. Die Druckfläche 18 kann in Richtung des Kontaktes 14 bewegt werden, so dass zumindest eine der Kontaktbrücken 16 die Kontakte 14 verbindet. Dies wiederum leitet ein elektrisches Signal zwischen den Kontakten 14 zu einem Sicherungssystem des Fahrzeuges, welches mit der gedruckten Platine 12 verbunden ist, weiter. Die Kontakte 14 und die Kontaktbrücken 16 bilden hierbei einen Schalter, der, wenn er geschlossen wird, das Sicherungssystem aktiviert, so dass es ein Signal zum Aufschließen des Fahrzeuges erzeugen kann. Das Sicherungssystem bestimmt, ob eine Person zum Einstieg in das Fahrzeug berechtigt ist, entweder dadurch, dass es einen Transponder, den die Person bei sich trägt, oder eine Chipkarte abfragt, was vor oder nach dem Schließen des Schalters erfolgen kann.The handle 6, as shown in Figure 2, includes a rigid or flexible printed circuit board 12 with touch contacts 14. Die Touch contacts 14 run along the handle 6. You can be made by a variety of methods, such as for example photo-etching, molding, electrically conductive printing or foil transfer. To the contacts 14 are aligned Number of movable contact bridges or fields 16, which form part of a flexible printing surface 18 which the Cover contacts 14 and the printed circuit board 12. The Pressure surface 18 can be moved in the direction of contact 14, so that at least one of the contact bridges 16 contacts 14 combines. This in turn routes an electrical signal between the contacts 14 to a security system of the vehicle, which is connected to the printed circuit board 12. The Contacts 14 and the contact bridges 16 form one Switch that, when closed, the security system activated so that there is a signal to unlock the vehicle can generate. The security system determines whether a person is to Is authorized to enter the vehicle, either in that it is a transponder that the person carries with him or her Chip card queries what happens before or after the switch is closed can be done.

    An der Druckfläche 18 ist ein Distanzstück 20 angebracht, welches das Innenteil des Griffes 6 darstellt. Das Distanzstück 20 ist durch eine Außenhaut 22 abgedeckt, welche an gegenüberliegenden Enden 24 und 26 und an dem Außenteil 28 des Griffes befestigt ist. Das Außenteil 28 beinhaltet die gedruckte Platine 12 und die Berührungskontakte 14. Die Außenhaut 22 ist flexibel und enthält Noppen 30, die das Greifen des Griffen durch die Person, die in das Fahrzeug einsteigen möchte, vereinfacht. Die äußere Oberfläche der Außenhaut 22 einschließlich der Noppen 30 liegt der Basis 4 der Einheit 2 gegenüber.A spacer 20 is attached to the pressure surface 18, which represents the inner part of the handle 6. The spacer 20 is covered by an outer skin 22, which on opposite ends 24 and 26 and on the outer part 28 of the Handle is attached. The outer part 28 contains the printed one Board 12 and the touch contacts 14. The outer skin 22 is flexible and contains nubs 30 that grip the handle by the person who wants to get in the vehicle, simplified. The outer surface of the outer skin 22 including the knobs 30 lies the base 4 of the unit 2 across from.

    Die Konfigration des Türgriffes 6 ist deshalb dergestalt, dass das Sicherungssystem des Fahrzeuges aktiviert wird, sobald ein Benutzer die Außenhaut 30 greift und damit genügend Druck erzeugt, dass das Druckfeld 18 bewegt wird, wodurch der Schalter, gebildet aus den Brücken 16 und den Kontakten 14, schließt.The configuration of the door handle 6 is therefore such that the vehicle's security system is activated as soon as a User grips the outer skin 30 and thus enough pressure generates that the print field 18 is moved, whereby the Switches, formed from the bridges 16 and the contacts 14, closes.

    Der Türgriff 6 stellt deshalb einen druckempfindlichen Schalter dar, der sicherstellt, dass das Sicherungssystem aktiviert wird, bevor der Griff physikalisch in Richtung 10 bewegt wird, um den Türverriegelungs-Mechanismus auszulösen. Dadurch wird dem Sicherungssystem zusätzlich Zeit zum Aufschließen der Fahrzeugtüren gegeben, bevor die Türverriegelung geöffnet wird.The door handle 6 therefore provides a pressure sensitive switch who ensures that the security system is activated, before the handle is physically moved in the direction of 10 to the Trigger the door locking mechanism. This will Security system additional time to unlock the Vehicle doors are given before the door lock is opened.

    Eine zweite Türgriffeinheit 32, wie in Figur 3 gezeigt, beinhaltet ebenfalls einen Türgriff, der gegenüber der Autotür 36 verschwenkbar ist, so dass er in Zugrichtung 38 bewegt werden muss, damit ein Türverrieglungs-Mechanismus der Tür 36 entriegelt wird. Der Griff 34 beinhaltet in diesem Beispiel einen Mikroschalter 40 der, wenn er geschlossen wird, ein Aktivierungssignal an das Sicherungssystem über Kontaktleitungen 42 weiterleitet. Der Mikroschalter 40 befindet sich in der Nähe des Endes 44 des Griffes 34, der zur Tür 36 verschwenkbar gelagert ist. An dem Schaltmechanismus des Mikroschalters 40 ist das eine Ende 46 eines Aktivierungsarmes 48 des Griffes 34 angebracht. Das andere Ende 50 des Aktivierungsarmes 48 ist verschwenkbar am freien Ende 52 des Griffes 34 angebracht. Der Aktivierungsarm 48 ist normalerweise durch eine Feder 54 so gespannt, dass der Mikroschalter 40 nicht geschlossen ist. Der Aktivierungsarm 48 ist entlang und direkt neben der inneren Fläche des Griffes 34 angeordnet, gegenüber der Tür 36. Eine Person, die den Griff 34 fasst, wird den Aktivierungsarm 48 gegen die Federspannung der Feder 54 bewegen, so dass der Mikroschalter 40 geschlossen wird und damit ein Aktivierungssignal zum Sicherungssystem sendet. Wie beim zuvor beschriebenen Griff 6, wird das Aktivierungssignal, bevor der Griff 34 in die Richtung 38 zum Entriegeln des Türverrieglungs-Mechanismus bewegt wird, an das Sicherungssystem gesendet. Auch hier wird dies zu einer frühen Aktivierung des Sicherungssystems führen, damit dieses die Türen eines Fahrzeuges öffnen kann, bevor die Person den Türverrieglungs-Mechanismus zum Einstieg in das Fahrzeug entriegelt.A second door handle unit 32, as shown in Figure 3, also includes a door handle facing the car door 36 is pivotable so that it can be moved in the pulling direction 38 for a door locking mechanism of the door 36 is unlocked. The handle 34 includes in this example a microswitch 40 which, when closed, turns on Activation signal to the security system via contact lines 42 forwards. The microswitch 40 is nearby of the end 44 of the handle 34 which is pivotable to the door 36 is stored. On the switching mechanism of the microswitch 40 is one end 46 of an activation arm 48 of the handle 34 appropriate. The other end 50 of the activation arm 48 is pivotally attached to the free end 52 of the handle 34. The Activation arm 48 is normally so by a spring 54 excited that the microswitch 40 is not closed. The Activation arm 48 is along and right next to the inner one Surface of the handle 34 arranged opposite the door 36. A Person grasping handle 34 becomes activation arm 48 move against the spring tension of the spring 54 so that the Microswitch 40 is closed and thus one Activation signal to the security system sends. As with the previous one handle 6 described, the activation signal before the Handle 34 in direction 38 to unlock the door locking mechanism is sent to the security system. Also here this becomes an early activation of the security system lead so that it can open the doors of a vehicle, before the person enters the door locking mechanism unlocks the vehicle.

    Eine dritte Türgriffeinheit 60, wie in Figur 4 gezeigt, besitzt die gleiche Konstruktion wie die Türgriffeinheit 32, insofern, dass sie einen Aktivierungsarm 48 enthält, welcher ein freies Ende 46 hat, wobei dieses zwischen zwei Anschlägen 62 und 64 bewegt werden kann. Der Aktivierungsarm 48 ist durch die Feder 54 gegen den ersten Anschlag 62 vorgespannt. Bei dem Griff 61 wurde jedoch der Mikroschalter 40 weggelassen, welcher hier durch den zweiten Anschlag 64 und einen piezoelektrischen Streifen oder ein piezoelektrisches Feld 66 ersetzt ist, welches entlang der inneren Fläche 68 des Armes 48 des Griffes 61 verläuft. Der piezolektrische Streifen 66 ist an die Leitungen 42 angeschlossen und produziert ein Spannungssignal an den Leitungen 42, welches von der Verformung, die der Steifen 66 erfährt, abhängt. Der Arm 48 ist so ausgelegt, dass er sich unter dem Druck, der beim Greifen der Türgriffeinheit 60 entsteht, biegt, sobald er an dem zweiten Anschlag 64 anschlägt. Dies verursacht ein Durchbiegen des Streifens 66, wodurch ein frühes Aktivierungssignal für das Sicherungssystem erzeugt wird. A third door handle unit 60, as shown in Figure 4, has the same construction as the door handle unit 32 in that that it contains an activation arm 48 which has a free one End 46 has, this between two stops 62 and 64th can be moved. The activation arm 48 is by the spring 54 biased against the first stop 62. With the handle 61 however, the microswitch 40, which is here through the second stop 64 and a piezoelectric Strip or a piezoelectric field 66 is replaced, which along the inner surface 68 of the arm 48 of the handle 61 runs. The piezoelectric strip 66 is on the lines 42 connected and produces a voltage signal to the Lines 42, which of the deformation, that of the stiffeners 66th experiences, depends. The arm 48 is designed so that it is under the pressure of gripping the door handle unit 60 arises, bends as soon as it strikes the second stop 64. This causes the strip 66 to deflect, causing a early activation signal for the security system is generated.

    Dementsprechend erzeugt die Einheit 60 ein Aktivierungssignal, wenn ein bestimmter Druck auf die innere Oberfläche 70 des Griffs 61 gegenüber der Tür ausgeübt wird, und zwar bevor der Griff 61 bewegt wird.Accordingly, unit 60 generates an activation signal when a certain pressure on the inner surface 70 of the Handle 61 is exercised opposite the door, before the Handle 61 is moved.

    Eine vierte Türgriffeinheit 80, wie in Figur 5 gezeigt, hat die gleiche Ausgestaltung wie die dritte Griffeinheit 60 mit der Ausnahme, dass der piezoelektrische Streifen durch einen Drucksensorschalter 82 ersetzt ist, welcher an den Leitungen 42 angeschlossen und in den Griff 81 neben dem verschwenkbar gelagerten Ende 50 des Aktivierungsarms 48 eingebaut ist. Der Drucksensor 82 ist so angeordnet, dass ein Stössel 84, der an der Innenfläche 68 des Arms 48 angebracht ist, gegenüber dem Sensor 82 ausgerichtet ist, so dass der Sensorschalter aktiviert wird, wenn der Arm 48 vom ersten Anschlag 62 zum zweiten Anschlag 64 bewegt wird. Der Stössel 84 bleibt dem Sensor 82 fern, so dass dieser nicht aktiviert wird, wenn der Arm 48 gegen den ersten Anschlag 62 anliegt. Die Griffeinheit 80 leitet deshalb ein Aktivierungssignal an die Leitungen 42 weiter, wenn ein bestimmter Druck auf die Innenfläche 70 des Griffs 81 gegenüber der Tür ausgeübt wird, und zwar bevor der Griff 81 bewegt wird.A fourth door handle unit 80, as shown in Figure 5, has the same configuration as the third handle unit 60 with the Exception that the piezoelectric strip is replaced by a Pressure sensor switch 82 is replaced, which on the lines 42nd connected and pivoted in the handle 81 next to the mounted end 50 of the activation arm 48 is installed. The Pressure sensor 82 is arranged so that a plunger 84 is attached to it the inner surface 68 of the arm 48 is mounted opposite the Sensor 82 is aligned so that the sensor switch is activated when the arm 48 from the first stop 62 to the second Stop 64 is moved. The plunger 84 remains in the sensor 82 remote so that it is not activated when the arm 48 against the first stop 62 is present. The handle unit 80 conducts therefore an activation signal on lines 42 if a certain pressure on the inner surface 70 of the handle 81 against the door before the handle 81 is moved.

    Eine fünfte Griffeinheit 90, wie sie in Figur 6 gezeigt ist, hat zwei Aktivierungsstufen, um das Aktivierungssignal weiterzuleiten. Die Einheit 90 hat eine ähnliche Ausgestaltung zu der der zweiten Türgriffeinheit 32 mit dem Hauptunterschied, dass eine feste Halterung 92 an der Tür 36, die in eine Aussparung des Türgriffs 91 der Einheit 90 ragt, vorhanden ist. Der Griff 91 ist immer noch in der Lage, sich relativ zur Tür 36 zu bewegen, so wie zuvor beschrieben, allerdings bleibt bei dieser Bewegung die Halterung 92 fest gegenüber der Tür 36. Die Halterung 92 wird zur Anbringung des Mikroschalters 40 benutzt. Die Feder 54 ist in diesem Beispiel eine Blattfeder, die an den gegenüberliegenden Enden des Griffs 91 angebracht und in ihrer Mitte 55 so gebogen ist, dass sie gegen den Aktivierungsarm 48 wirkt und an diesem anliegt. Unter bestimmten Umständen könnte es nicht möglich sein, durch Greifen des Griffes 91 den Aktivierungsarm 48 gegen die Federspannung der Feder 54 zu bewegen, um den Mikroschalter 40 durch den Aktivierungsarm 48 schließen zu lassen. Dies könnte passieren, wenn der Arm 48 oder die Feder 54 verkeilt werden oder wegen ungünstiger Wetterverhältnisse zufrieren. Wenn dies geschieht, wäre es normalerweise immer noch möglich, den Griff 91 zu verschwenken, also relativ zur Tür zu bewegen, wobei diese Bewegung allein, zusammen mit der Griffeinheit 90, den Arm 48 zum Schließen des Mikroschalters 40 beim Verschwenken des Griffs 91 bringen würde. Dies ergibt sich aus der Tatsache, dass der Mikroschalter 40 in fester Position gegenüber dem Griff 91 durch die Halterung 92 an der Tür 36 gehalten wird. Die Fixierung der Position des Mikroschalters 40 in dem Türgriff 91 relativ zur Tür 36 stellt deshalb ein Reservemechanismus zum Schließen des Schalters 40 dar, wenn der Aktivierungsarm nicht gegen die Feder 54 bewegt werden kann.A fifth handle unit 90, as shown in Figure 6, has two activation levels to the activation signal forward. The unit 90 has a similar configuration to that of the second door handle unit 32 with the main difference, that a fixed bracket 92 on the door 36, which in a Recess of the door handle 91 of the unit 90 protrudes, is present. Handle 91 is still able to be relative to door 36 to move, as described above, but remains with this movement, the bracket 92 fixed against the door 36. Die Bracket 92 is used to attach the microswitch 40. The spring 54 is a leaf spring in this example, which on the opposite ends of the handle 91 attached and in it Middle 55 is bent so that it is against the activation arm 48 works and is attached to it. In certain circumstances, could it may not be possible to grasp the handle 91 den Activation arm 48 against the spring tension of the spring 54 to move the microswitch 40 through the activation arm 48 to let close. This could happen if the arm is 48 or the spring 54 can be wedged or because of less favorable Freeze weather conditions. If this happens, it would be normally still possible to pivot the handle 91, to move relative to the door, this movement alone, together with the handle unit 90, the arm 48 for closing the Microswitch 40 would bring when pivoting the handle 91. This results from the fact that the microswitch 40 in fixed position with respect to the handle 91 through the bracket 92 the door 36 is held. Fixing the position of the Microswitch 40 in the door handle 91 relative to the door 36 therefore a reserve mechanism for closing the switch 40 if the activation arm does not move against the spring 54 can be.

    Eine sechste Türgriffeinheit 100, wie in Figur 7 bis 11 gezeigt, ist ähnlich der zweiten Türgriffeinheit 32. Bei dem Griff 101 der Einheit ist ein Teil herausgenommen, um den Einbau eines Mikroschalters 40, einer Blattfeder 54 und eines bogenförmigen Hebeleinsatzes 102 zu ermöglichen, wie in Figur 8 und 9 gezeigt. Der Mikroschalter 40 befindet sich gegenüber dem verschwenkbar gelagerten Ende 44 des Griffes 101. Der Griff 101 hat eine Bohrung von 3mm Durchmesser mit einer Mittelpunktlinie 104 wie in Figur 7 gezeigt, damit die Leitungen 42 zum Anschluss des Mikroschalters 40 durchgeführt werden können. Die Blattfeder 54 ist rechteckig, so wie in Figur 10 gezeigt, und sitzt in der Aussparung des Griffes 101. Sie hat ein rechteckig eingeschnittenes Loch 106, damit der Mikroschalter 40 beim Einbau in den Griff 101 dadurch geführt werden kann. Die Feder 54 hat ein gebogenes Profil, wie in Figur 11 gezeigt, wodurch sie gegen den Griff 102 wirkt, so dass der Hebel 102 von dem Mikroschalter 40 hinweg gespannt wird. Der Hebel 102 ist so ausgestaltet, dass er in den Griff 101 über die Blattfeder 54 passt, wie in Figur 8 und 9 gezeigt. Der Hebel 102 hat einen rechteckig ausgesparten Bereich 108, welcher zu dem Loch 106 in der Feder 54 passt und welcher den oberen Teil des Schalters 40 schluckt. Der Hebel 102 ist an einem Ende 110 am Griff 101 mit zwei Schrauben 112 angebracht, welche im Griff 101 gehalten werden, wie in Figur 7 gezeigt. Das feste Ende 110 des Hebels 102 befindet sich neben dem verschwenkbar gelagerten Ende 44 des Griffs 101. Der Hebel 102 führt die Funktion eines Aktivierungsarms 48 der dritten Einheit 32 aus. Normalerweise ist der Hebel 102 in Richtung gegen den Schalter 40 durch die Blattfeder 54 gespannt. Wenn eine Person versucht, in das Fahrzeug zu steigen, dann wird der Türgriff 101 berührt oder gefasst, so dass der Hebel 102 gegen die Federkraft der Blattfeder 54 bewegt wird. Der Hebel 102 wird dadurch dazu gebracht, den Mikroschalter 40, wie in Figur 7 gezeigt, zu berühren, wodurch der Schalter 40 aktiviert wird. Dadurch leitet der Schalter 40 ein Aktivierungssignal an die Leitungen 42 weiter, bevor der Griff 101 bewegt und relativ zu der gegenüberliegenden Tür verschwenkt wird.A sixth door handle unit 100, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 11, is similar to the second door handle unit 32. With the handle 101 The unit is taken out to install a part Microswitch 40, a leaf spring 54 and an arcuate To enable lever insert 102, as shown in Figures 8 and 9. The microswitch 40 is pivotable relative to the supported end 44 of the handle 101. The handle 101 has a Bore of 3mm diameter with a center line 104 like shown in Figure 7 so that the lines 42 for connecting the Microswitch 40 can be performed. The leaf spring 54 is rectangular, as shown in Figure 10, and sits in the Handle 101 recess. It has a rectangular shape incised hole 106 so that the microswitch 40 when Installation in the handle 101 can be performed. The feather 54 has a curved profile, as shown in Figure 11, whereby it acts against the handle 102 so that the lever 102 of the Microswitch 40 is stretched away. The lever 102 is like this configured to grip the handle 101 via the leaf spring 54 fits as shown in Figures 8 and 9. The lever 102 has one rectangular recessed area 108 which faces hole 106 in the spring 54 fits and which the upper part of the switch 40th swallows. The lever 102 is connected to the handle 101 at one end 110 two screws 112 attached, which are held in the handle 101 as shown in Figure 7. The fixed end 110 of the lever 102 is located next to the pivotably mounted end 44 of the Handle 101. The lever 102 performs the function of a Activation arms 48 of the third unit 32. Usually is the lever 102 towards the switch 40 through the Leaf spring 54 tensioned. When a person tries in that To climb the vehicle, the door handle 101 is touched or so that the lever 102 against the spring force of the Leaf spring 54 is moved. The lever 102 thereby becomes this brought, the microswitch 40, as shown in Figure 7 Touch to activate switch 40. This leads switch 40 sends an activation signal to lines 42 before the handle 101 moves and relative to the opposite door is pivoted.

    Eine siebte Türgriffeinheit 120, wie in Figur 12 gezeigt, hat ebenfalls zwei Aktivierungsstufen, um das Aktivierungssignal zu senden. Die Einheit 120 ist der sechsten Türgriffeinheit 100 ähnlich, mit der Ausnahme, dass der Hebeleinsatz 124 in Richtung des schwenkbar gelagerten Endes 44 verlängert ist, so dass er durch einen Bereich 126 des Türgriffs 121 reicht, so dass ein aktivierendes Ende 128 hinter dem Rahmen 130 der Tür 36 entsteht. In dem ausgesparten Bereich des Griffs 121 für den Hebel 124 ragt ein Lagerbock 132 aus dem Griff 121 hervor, damit der Hebel 124 um den Lagerbock 132 herumwippen kann. Die gegenüberliegenden Enden 134 und 128 des Einsatzes 124 üben deshalb begrenzte und gegensätzliche Bewegungen beim Wippen des Hebels 124 um den Lagerbock 132 aus. Das längere Ende 134 des Hebels 124 ist in Richtung der Tür 36 durch eine kleinere Version der Blattfeder 54 vorgespannt. Dadurch wird das aktivierende Ende 128 gegen den nach innen ragenden Pfosten 136 des Rahmens 30 gespannt. Wenn eine Person den Griff 121 berührt oder greift, um in das Fahrzeug zu steigen, dann wird das längere Ende 134 des Einsatzes 124 gegen die Federkraft der Feder 54 in die durch den Pfeil 138 gezeigte Richtung bewegt. Der Einsatz 124 schwenkt dadurch um den Lagerbock 132, wodurch das aktivierende Ende 128 gegen den Mikroschalter 40 bewegt wird und diesen aktiviert, wodurch dieser wiederum das Aktivierungssignal weiterleitet. Der Mikroschalter 40 ist in diesem Beispiel in das verschwenkbare Ende 44 des Griffes 121 eingebaut und befindet sich hinter dem Rahmen 130 der Tür 36. Das Aktivierungssignal wird gesendet, bevor der Griff 121 in Relation zur Tür 36 verschwenkt wird. Ebenso wie bei der fünften Einheit 90 wird der Mikroschalter 140 aktiviert, wenn die Feder 54 festgefroren oder verkeilt ist und der Einsatz 124 nicht in der Lage ist, um den Lagerbock 132 zu wippen. Der Spalt zwischen dem Schalter 40 und dem Pfosten 136 ist relativ klein, so dass, wenn der Griff 121 relativ zur Tür 36 verschwenkt wird, das aktivierende Ende 128 gegen den Pfosten 136 stößt, besonders wenn der Einsatz 124 nicht in der Lage ist zu wippen. Sobald das Ende 128 gegen den Pfosten 136 stößt, wird es durch den Pfosten 136 gebogen oder verschwenkt, so dass es gegen den Mikroschalter 40 kommt und diesen schließt.A seventh door handle unit 120, as shown in Figure 12, has also two activation levels to activate the activation signal send. The unit 120 is the sixth door handle unit 100 Similar, with the exception that the lever insert 124 towards of the pivotally mounted end 44 is extended so that it through an area 126 of the door handle 121, so that a activating end 128 behind frame 130 of door 36 arises. In the recessed area of the handle 121 for the Lever 124 protrudes a bracket 132 from the handle 121, so the lever 124 can rock around the bearing block 132. The Practice opposite ends 134 and 128 of insert 124 therefore limited and opposite movements when rocking the Lever 124 around the bearing block 132. The longer end 134 of the Lever 124 is towards the door 36 through a smaller one Version of the leaf spring 54 preloaded. This will make it activating end 128 against the inwardly projecting post 136 of the frame 30 stretched. When a person touches the handle 121 or reaches to get in the vehicle, then it will longer end 134 of the insert 124 against the spring force of the Spring 54 is moved in the direction shown by arrow 138. The insert 124 thereby pivots about the pedestal 132, whereby the activating end 128 is moved against the microswitch 40 and activates it, which in turn causes this Activation signal passes on. The microswitch 40 is in this example into the pivotable end 44 of the handle 121 installed and is located behind the frame 130 of the door 36. The activation signal is sent before the handle 121 in Relation to the door 36 is pivoted. Just like the fifth Unit 90, the microswitch 140 is activated when the spring 54 is frozen or wedged and the insert 124 is not in is able to rock the bearing block 132. The gap between the switch 40 and the post 136 is relatively small, so that if the handle 121 is pivoted relative to the door 36, that activating end 128 abuts post 136, especially when the insert 124 is unable to rock. As soon as that If end 128 hits post 136, it will go through the post 136 bent or pivoted so that it is against the microswitch 40 comes and closes it.

    Eine achte Türgriffeinheit 140, wie in Figur 13 gezeigt, beinhaltet einen Griff 142, in dem ein Gummieinsatz 144 eingebaut ist. Der Gummieinsatz 144 besteht aus zwei Materialien, beide flexibel und elastisch. Das erste Gummimaterial ist nichtleitend und wird für die Außenwand 146 des Einsatzes 144 und die Seitenwände 148 und 150 benutzt, welche gegen die inneren Seitenwände 152 bzw. 154 des Griffes 142 stoßen und diese berühren.An eighth door handle unit 140, as shown in Figure 13, includes a handle 142 in which a rubber insert 144 is installed. The rubber insert 144 consists of two Materials, both flexible and elastic. The first Rubber material is non-conductive and is used for the outer wall 146 insert 144 and used side walls 148 and 150, which against the inner side walls 152 and 154 of the handle 142 and touch them.

    Zwischen den Seitenwänden 148 und 154 des Einsatzes 144 wird das zweite Material, welches leitend ist, für eine innere Wand 156 benutzt, welche gegen die Innenseite des Griffes 142 stößt. Das zweite leitende Gummimaterial wird ebenfalls dazu benutzt, die Noppen 158 entlang der inneren Fläche der Außenwand 146 zu formen. Die Noppen 158 sind normalerweise durch einen Luftspalt 160 im Inneren des Einsatzes 144 von der leitenden inneren Wand 156 getrennt. Das Material, dass die Noppen 158 formt, enthält einen ersten leitenden Draht 160 und die innere Wand 156 enthält einen zweiten leitenden Draht 162. Die Drähte 160 und 162 sind an die Leitungen 42 angeschlossen oder ein Teil derselben. Wenn der Griff 142 gefasst oder berührt wird, dann wird der Gummieinsatz 144 komprimiert, was dazu führt, dass die Noppen 158 die innere Wand 156 berühren. Dadurch wird eine leitende Verbindung hergestellt, welche es dem Aktivierungssignal ermöglicht, zwischen den beiden Drähten 160 und 162 zu fließen und im Anschluss zum Sicherungssystem, bevor der Griff 142 in Relation zur Tür bewegt wird. This is between the side walls 148 and 154 of the insert 144 second material, which is conductive, for an inner wall 156 used, which abuts the inside of the handle 142. The second conductive rubber material is also used to Studs 158 along the inner surface of outer wall 146 to form. The knobs 158 are normally through an air gap 160 inside the insert 144 from the conductive inner wall 156 separated. The material that forms the knobs 158 contains includes a first conductive wire 160 and inner wall 156 a second conductive wire 162. The wires 160 and 162 are connected to the lines 42 or a part thereof. If the handle 142 is gripped or touched, then the Rubber insert 144 compresses, causing the knobs 158 touch the inner wall 156. This will be a senior Connection established, which it the activation signal allows to flow between the two wires 160 and 162 and following the security system before handle 142 in Relation to the door is moved.

    Eine neunte Türgriffeinheit 170, wie in Figur 14 gezeigt, beinhaltet einen Griff 172, welcher ebenfalls einen Gummieinsatz 174 enthält, welcher genau so wie der Einsatz 144 von Figur 13 geformt ist. Der Einsatz 174 hat jedoch eine innere Wand 176, welche aus dem selben nichtleitenden flexiblen und elastischen Gummimaterial wie die Außenwand 178 und die Seitenwände 180 und 182 hergestellt ist. Drei herausragende Noppen 184 sind ebenfalls in gleicher Form wie die Noppen 158 vorhanden, nur dass beim Einsatz 174 die Noppen 184 auch aus dem gleichen nichtleitenden Gummimaterial gefertigt sind. Der Luftspalt 186 beinhaltet erste und zweite leitende Platten 188 und 190, welche sich über seine Länge erstrecken und welche normalerweise durch vier Plastikstreifen 192 voneinander getrennt sind, die sich ebenfalls über die Länge des Einsatzes 174 erstrecken. Die vier Streifen 192 sind so angeordnet, dass sie genau gegenüber den Lücken zwischen den drei Noppen 184 liegen. Die Platten 188 und 190 sind jeweils an die Drähte 42 angeschlossen. Wenn der Griff 172 gefasst oder berührt wird, wird der Einsatz 174 komprimiert, so dass die Noppen 184 gegen die erste Stahlplatte 188 wirken, so dass diese in Kontakt mit der zweiten Stahlplatte 190 gebracht wird. Wenn die zwei Platten 188 und 190 einander berühren, wird das Aktivierungssignal zwischen den Platten und im Anschluss zum Sicherungssystem geleitet, bevor der Griff in Relation zur Tür bewegt wird.A ninth door handle unit 170, as shown in Figure 14, includes a handle 172, which is also a rubber insert 174, which is just like insert 144 of Figure 13 is shaped. The insert 174, however, has an inner wall 176, which is made of the same non-conductive flexible and elastic Rubber material such as the outer wall 178 and the side walls 180 and 182 is made. Three outstanding nubs 184 are also available in the same form as the knobs 158, only that in use 174 the knobs 184 also from the same non-conductive rubber material are made. The air gap 186 includes first and second conductive plates 188 and 190, which extend along its length and which usually through four plastic strips 192 are separated from each other, which are also extend the length of the insert 174. The four Strips 192 are arranged so that they are exactly opposite the There are gaps between the three knobs 184. The plates 188 and 190 are each connected to the wires 42. If the handle 172 is gripped or touched, the insert 174 is compressed, so that the knobs 184 act against the first steel plate 188, so that it is in contact with the second steel plate 190 brought. If the two plates 188 and 190 each other touch, the activation signal between the plates and then passed to the security system before the handle in Relation to the door is moved.

    Eine zehnte Türgriffeinheit 200, wie in Figur 15 gezeigt, beinhaltet einen Griff 202, welcher einen Gummieinsatz 204 mit der gleichen Form wie Einsatz 174 von Figur 14 beinhaltet. Innerhalb des Einsatzes 204 jedoch ist die erste Platte 188 durch einen piezoelektrischen Film von etwa 0,05mm Dicke ersetzt, welcher in Plastikmaterial gewickelt oder folienverschweisst ist, und so einen piezoelektrischen Streifen 208 darstellt. Die zweite Platte 190 fällt weg und die Innenwand 210 des Einsatzes 204 beinhaltet vier hervorragende Kämme oder Wellen 212, welche von der gleichen Form und in ähnlicher Position wie die vier Streifen 192 des Einsatzes 174 sind. Die Kämme 212 ragen in den Luftspalt 214 und der Streifen 208 liegt normalerweise zwischen den Kämmen 212 und den drei gegenüberliegenden Noppen 216 der Außenwand 218. Der Streifen 208 verläuft entlang dem Einsatz 204, wobei die Drähte 42 an verschiedenen Punkten des piezoelektrischen Filmes des Streifens 208 angebracht sind. Wenn der Griff 202 ergriffen oder berührt wird, wirken die Noppen 216 und die Wellen 212 auf den Streifen, während der Einsatz 204 zusammengedrückt wird, so dass der Streifen 208 gebogen wird. Dieses Verbiegen des Streifen 208 bewirkt eine Spannungserzeugung in demselben, welche als Aktivierungssignal an die Drähte 42 und zum Sicherungssystem weitergeleitet wird, auch hier bevor der Griff 202 relativ zur Tür bewegt wird.A tenth door handle unit 200, as shown in Figure 15, includes a handle 202 which includes a rubber insert 204 the same shape as insert 174 of Figure 14. However, within insert 204 is first plate 188 through a piezoelectric film about 0.05mm thick which is wrapped in plastic or is film-sealed, and so a piezoelectric strip 208 represents. The second plate 190 falls away and the inner wall 210 of the insert 204 includes four excellent combs or Waves 212, which are of the same shape and in a similar Position as are the four strips 192 of the insert 174. The Combs 212 protrude into the air gap 214 and the strip 208 lies usually between the combs 212 and the three opposite knobs 216 of the outer wall 218. The strip 208 runs along insert 204 with wires 42 on different points of the strip's piezoelectric film 208 are attached. When the handle 202 is gripped or touched the knobs 216 and the shafts 212 act on the strip, while insert 204 is compressed so that the Strip 208 is bent. This bending of strip 208 causes a voltage generation in the same, which as Activation signal to the wires 42 and to the security system is forwarded here, too, before the handle 202 relative to the Door is moved.

    Wenn erwünscht, kann ein elektronisches Modul, dass an die Drähte 42 angeschlossen ist, in die Griffe 6, 34, 61, 81, 91, 101, 121, 142, 172 und 202 eingebaut werden.If desired, an electronic module can be attached to the Wires 42 is connected into handles 6, 34, 61, 81, 91, 101, 121, 142, 172 and 202 can be installed.

    Die Türeinheiten, wie oben beschrieben, können je einen zusätzlichen Schalter enthalten, welcher aktiviert wird, wenn der Türgriff relativ zur Tür bewegt wird, um das Aktivierungssignal weiterzugeben. Diese zusätzliche Schaltvorrichtung stellt das Weiterleiten des Signals in dem Fall sicher, wenn ein Fehler beim Weiterleiten des Signals auftritt, wenn ein vorbestimmter Druck auf den Griff ausgeübt wird.The door units, as described above, can each have one contain additional switch, which is activated when the door handle is moved relative to the door to the Pass on the activation signal. This additional Switching device provides the transmission of the signal in the Case sure if there is an error in forwarding the signal occurs when a predetermined pressure is applied to the handle becomes.
