Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • Module carriers for vehicle doors are increasingly being used in order to be able to use preassembled modules.
  • DE 195 09 282 A1 is representative of a large number of documents, in which a module carrier - there called carrier plate - is described.
  • Module carriers on which the door lock is preassembled with the aid of a support arm are described, for example, in DE 195 11 105 C1.
  • This publication refers to the problem of "threading" those module parts that protrude beyond the module carrier.
  • the door lock is one of the modules that are difficult to handle on Monday, not only in terms of "threading", but also in terms of tolerance compensation.
  • a lock module in which the lock and the actuating unit for the outer handle are combined to form an installation unit (a module) with the aid of a support element.
  • the U-shaped support element is sufficiently plastically or elastically deformable for a tolerance range, the tolerance between the lock and the actuation unit for the external handle arranged in the immediate vicinity not being very great.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a device for attaching a lock module to a module carrier specify that the pre-assembly so that during the final assembly of the module carrier on the vehicle door the lock module simply to its installation location can be brought and fixed there, and that a possibly necessary tolerance compensation between module carriers and door lock made without additional assembly work can be.
  • the lock module is self-supporting and springy in the Fixed mounting position, prepares the final assembly of the equipped module carrier no difficulties.
  • the Lock module protruding beyond the module carrier because of the flexibility of the support arm, so to speak "around the Corner ". Elaborate swivel and Rotational movements of the entire module carrier are eliminated.
  • the Resilience of the support arm guaranteed after Threading the lock module into its mounting position. Tolerances that occur occur due to bending and / or longitudinal elasticity of the support arm in a wide Area out. If the support arm is tubular, he can also use a protective and guide cover for the Bowden cable to operate the lock.
  • the support arm is expediently mountable separately.
  • An advantageous construction results when it as a hollow molded part - for example as a thermoplastic Blow molded part - is designed to attach of the lock module an approximately spherical molded connection area.
  • a hollow molded part - for example as a thermoplastic Blow molded part - is designed to attach of the lock module an approximately spherical molded connection area.
  • This area which is also the mounting flange for has the pre-assembly of the support arm on the module carrier, is designed similar to a bellows.
  • the support arm can be glued to the module carrier be, but also snap connections are possible.
  • the hollow molded part can be molded on Have latches. It is particularly advantageous if the support arm the module carrier from the dry side reaches through sealed to the "wet side" of the door case and if the exit of the Bowden cable for Lock actuation and / or the electrical cable is sealed on the lock side against moisture ingress, for example by foaming the spherical connection area.
  • the support arm can also have a side open for example, have a U-shaped cross section. This has the advantage that the Bowdenzu for lock actuation as well as electrical cables very easily can be inserted later.
  • the open U-profile can then also by a U-shaped supplementary profile be closed, which in itself arbitrary Way can be put on, for example by clipping or gluing.
  • the open U-profile of the support arm can be inserted after the closed by Bowden cable and cables be that it will first insert these items is bent up elastically, then springs back and finally by a molded, linear Snap connection is secured.
  • linear one Snap connections can also be connecting points, for example push buttons or push-throughs are used, which are also molded can.
  • a pointed oval cross section of the Support arm favors such a design.
  • the support arm burglary tools less attack surface offers, and that a lateral sliding this Tools is favored.
  • a support arm with an open cross section can expediently also by clipping on the module carrier be attached. This allows assembly time save on.
  • the geometry of such a clipping can be designed so that a shift of the support arm in the longitudinal direction, i.e. in the direction of travel, is possible to rotate around the attachment area but not.
  • the possibility of tolerance compensation and for flexibility when installing the module carrier in the door is so improved, and thus assembly simplified and facilitated.
  • the support arm can have at least one branch connector for this have.
  • support arms with a U-shaped or pointed oval cross section are expediently made of thermoplastic Made of materials.
  • Injection molding and blow molding processes offer all possibilities according to the invention Realize support arms, combined if necessary with additional punching and / or milling processes.
  • Film hinges and linear or point connection areas can be done in one production step be co-designed, preferably as snap connections.
  • A is the two-shell sheet metal construction labeled the door.
  • a module carrier 1 is in outline represented schematically; all function modules up to on the lock module are for the sake of clarity not shown.
  • On module carrier 1 there is one named 2 Bracket attached, with the help of a Flange 11.
  • a cylindrical part 10 of the support arm 2 determines the mounting position of the from a Carrier plate 3, a lock part 4 and an external operating part 5 trained lock module.
  • the Lock module is on the support arm 2 by means of a ball head 9 alignably attached.
  • In the arm 2 is a Bowden cable 8 guided and protected for the lock actuation.
  • Fig. 2 shows the lock module in side view, and Fig. 3 this in front view.
  • a cover 7 secures the actuating and locking rods (in Fig. 3 indicated by dashed lines) against unauthorized intervention from the outside.
  • the support arm 2 in one version 4 is explained as a blow molding.
  • the ball head 9 for the adjustable connection of the lock module includes an approximately cylindrical Shaft 10, which by its length and curvature Installation position of the lock module specifies. flexibility and longitudinal elasticity of the support arm 2 are primarily predetermined by the annular fold area 12. With Help of the flange 11 and a locking lug 13 is the Support arm 2 can be fastened in an opening in the module carrier 1, as explained in FIG. 5.
  • the seal 6 prevents thereby a moisture leak on the flange 11 of the Support arm 2 and the foam 14 of the ball head 9th seals the exit of the Bowden cable 8 elastically.
  • the support arm 22 with the open cross section 16 is on the module carrier 1 With the help of a carrier bridge 1 "attached one out e.g. other constructive aspects necessary Cutout 1 'bridged in module carrier 1. there the arm 22 with its bend 22 'initially through a guide slot 20 in the carrier bridge 1 "out, and then with a locking lug 19 in a locking slot 21 snapped into the carrier bridge 1 ". Allow guide slot 20 and locking slot 21 thereby - as shown - a limited longitudinal displacement of the support arm 22.
  • the lock module (Fig. 2) is not shown; it will be done with the help of Screw holes 15 attached to the support arm 22.
  • the open one Page 18 of the support arm 22 allows the Bowden cable 8 and / or cable 17 later in the cross section 16 introduce, snapping between the resilient legs of the support arm 22 a easy assembly is ensured.
  • a crank 22 "of the support arm 22 ensures increased suspension in its longitudinal direction, which thereby still when needed could be improved that a bellows zone can be arranged (similar to zone 12 in Fig. 4).
  • the support arms 2 and 22 upwards at an angle be directed (Fig. 1), or obliquely downwards be directed (Fig. 6).
  • Fig. 7 finally explains the approximately pointed oval cross section 16 'of a Support arm 22, through the U-shaped supplementary fitting 19 is closed; by springy engage.
