Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verschlußanordnung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a closure arrangement according to the preamble of Claim 1.

Verschlußanordnungen dieses Aufbaus sind in einer Vielzahl von Ausbildungen im Einsatz bei haubenförmigen Heckklappen und um eine dachseitige Schwenkachse schwenkbaren Hecktüren.Closure arrangements of this structure are in a variety of designs in the Use with hood-shaped tailgates and around a roof-side swivel axis hinged rear doors.

Bei bekannten Verschlußanordnungen dieser Art ist in einer die Abdeckung bildenden Tür eine äußere muldenartige Vertiefung vorgesehen, damit der Griff mit der Hand erfaßt werden kann. Will man ein weites Vorstehen des Griffs über die Ebene der Abdeckung vermeiden, muß diese muldenartige Vertiefung relativ tief ausgeführt sein. Damit verbunden sind hohe Anforderungen an die Qualität des Materials für die Abdeckung, in der Regel Blech.In known closure arrangements of this type is in a cover forming Door an outer trough-like recess provided so that the handle grips by hand can be. If you want the handle to protrude far beyond the level of the cover avoid this trough-like depression must be made relatively deep. In order to high demands are placed on the quality of the material for the cover, in usually sheet metal.

Diesen Nachteil könnte man verständlicherweise dadurch vermeiden, daß man ein relativ weites Überstehen des Griffs über die Ebene der Abdeckung in Kauf nimmt. Dies ist nicht nur wegen der Optik und aus sicherheitstechnischen Gründen unerwünscht, sondern bringt auch die Gefahr einer Verschmutzung auch der der Bedienungsperson abgekehrten Seite des Griffs mit sich, d.h. derjenigen Fläche des Griffs, die die Finger der Bedienungsperson zum Zwecke des Hochschwenkens der Abdeckung in ihre voll geöffnete Lage intensiv angreifen.One could understandably avoid this disadvantage by having a relative accepts the handle overhanging the level of the cover. This is not only undesirable because of the optics and for safety reasons, but also brings the risk of contamination of the operator opposite side of the handle, i.e. the surface of the handle that the fingers the operator for the purpose of swinging the cover up into its full Attack open position intensively.

Zum Stand der Technik gehören nun auch Konstruktionen für Griffe an Abdeckungen der oben definierten Art, die zwischen einer Ruhestellung innerhalb der Abdeckung und einer aus dieser herausgeschwenkten Betätigungslage schwenkbar sind. Diese Konstruktionen erfordern aber einen großen Konstruktions- und Platzaufwand. The prior art now also includes designs for handles on covers of the Type defined above, which is between a rest position within the cover and a are pivotable out of this pivoted actuation position. This However, constructions require a large amount of construction and space.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine gattungsgemäße Verschlußanordnung zu schaffen, die ein zumindest wesentliches Überstehen des Griffs über die Ebene der Abdeckung vermeidet, ohne eine tiefe Mulde in der Abdeckung oder eine komplizierte Betätigung zu verlangen.The invention has for its object to a generic closure arrangement create an at least substantial projection of the handle beyond the level of the Cover avoids without a deep trough in the cover or a complicated one To require actuation.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung dieser Aufgabe besteht in den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs, vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung beschreiben die Unteransprüche.The inventive solution to this problem consists in the characterizing Features of the main claim describe advantageous embodiments of the invention the subclaims.

Ein wesentliches Merkmal der Erfindung besteht also darin, daß der Griff von dem nach außen weisenden Ende eines Gehäuses für den Schließzylinder getragen ist, das in einer abdeckungsseitigen Aufnahme gegen Drehungen gesichert, aber in Längsrichtung verschiebbar gelagert ist. Die Verschiebebewegung aus einer eingerückten Schließlage in eine ausgerückte Öffnungslage des Gehäuses des Schließzylinders und damit des Griffs wird durch Entspannung einer Feder hervorgerufen, die zuvor beim Hereindrücken des Gehäuses des Schließzylinders gespannt worden ist und mittels eines Spannhakens in diesem Zustand gehalten wird, der durch Drehung des Schließzylinders um einen vorgegebenen Winkel gleichsam ausgehoben wird. Damit ist der Aufwand für die Erfindung beschränkt auf weitgehend ohnehin vorhandene Teile, nämlich Aufnahme für den Schließzylinder bzw. sein Gehäuse, dieses Gehäuse und den eigentlichen Schließzylinder; hinzu kommen an bzw. im Gehäuse die erwähnte Spannfeder und der Spannhaken. Zur Betätigung des Spannhakens kann ein mit dem Schließzylinder in Drehverbindung stehender Nocken vorgesehen sein, der zugleich den Bestandteil einer Kraftübertragung zwischen Schließzylinder und Sperrklinke des Fallenschlosses bilden kann.An essential feature of the invention is that the handle from that outside facing end of a housing for the lock cylinder is carried, which in a cover-side mount secured against rotation, but in the longitudinal direction is slidably mounted. The shifting movement from an engaged closed position in a disengaged open position of the housing of the lock cylinder and thus the Griffs is caused by the relaxation of a spring, which was previously when pressing in the housing of the locking cylinder has been tensioned and by means of a tensioning hook is held in this state by rotating the lock cylinder by one predetermined angle is lifted as it were. So that's the effort for that The invention is limited to largely existing parts, namely recording for the lock cylinder or its housing, this housing and the actual Locking cylinder; in addition to or in the housing the mentioned tension spring and the Tension hook. To actuate the clamping hook, one can be locked in with the locking cylinder Rotary connection standing cams can be provided, which is also part of a Form the power transmission between the lock cylinder and the pawl of the latch lock can.

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung erläutert. In dieser zeigen:

  • Die Figuren 1 und 9 Längsschnitte für ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel bei eingerückter Schließlage bzw. ausgerückter Öffnungslage des Schließzylindergehäuses,
  • die Figuren 2 bis 7 sowie 11 Querschnitte entsprechend den durch entsprechende römische Zahlen definierten Schnittführungen in den Figuren 1 und 9,
  • Figur 12 eine Explosionsdarstellung dieses Ausführungsbeispiels,
  • Figur 13 einen Längsschnitt durch ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel,
  • die Figuren 14a und 14b Querschnitte entsprechend XIIII-XIIII in Figur 13,
  • die Figuren 15, 16 und 17 Schnitte entsprechend den durch entsprechende römische Zahlen definierten Schnittführungen und
  • Figur 18 perspektivisch in Explosionsdarstellung eine Einzelheit.
    • Two embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the drawing. In this show:
  • Figures 1 and 9 are longitudinal sections for a first embodiment with the closed position or disengaged open position of the lock cylinder housing,
  • FIGS. 2 to 7 and 11 cross sections corresponding to the cutting guides in FIGS. 1 and 9 defined by corresponding Roman numerals,
  • FIG. 12 shows an exploded view of this exemplary embodiment,
  • FIG. 13 shows a longitudinal section through a second exemplary embodiment,
  • FIGS. 14a and 14b cross sections corresponding to XIIII-XIIII in FIG. 13,
  • Figures 15, 16 and 17 cuts corresponding to the cut guides and defined by corresponding Roman numerals
  • Figure 18 is a perspective exploded view of a detail.

    • Betrachtet man zunächst Figur 1, so erkennt man bei 1 einen Schließzylinder üblichen und daher nicht zu beschreibenden Aufbaus, der mittels des Schlüssels 2 betätigt, d.h. um seine Längsachse gedreht werden kann. Zu dem Schließzylinder gehört das Gehäuse 2, das in der Aufnahme 4 drehfest, aber längsverschiebbar gelagert ist. Die Aufnahme 4 ist ihrerseits im Bereich einer Ausnehmung in der hier angenommenen Heckklappe 5 fest gelagert. Der Schließzylinder besitzt die Welle 6, an der ― siehe vor allem Figur 2 ― drehfest der scheibenförmige Nocken 7 angeordnet ist, der zur Anlenkung der Kraftübertragungsstange 8 zu dem Schwenkhebel 9 im eigentlichen Schloß dient, das die Falle 10 und die dieser zugeordnete Sperrklinke 11 enthält. Der Schwenkhebel 9 ist dreh- bzw. schwenkfest mit der Achse der Sperrklinke 11 verbunden, so daß ein Verschwenken des Nockens 7 in der Darstellung der Figur 2 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn ein Ausheben der Sperrklinke 11 aus der Falle 10 bewirkt und diese unter der Wirkung einer nicht dargestellten Feder in ihre Öffnungsstellung geschwenkt wird.If one looks first at FIG. 1, one can usually see a locking cylinder at 1 and therefore not to be described structure, which is operated by means of the key 2, i.e. can be rotated about its longitudinal axis. That belongs to the locking cylinder Housing 2, which is rotatably mounted in the receptacle 4, but is longitudinally displaceable. The Recording 4 is in turn in the area of a recess in the one adopted here Tailgate 5 permanently stored. The locking cylinder has shaft 6, on which - see above everything Figure 2 - the disc-shaped cam 7 is rotatably arranged, which for Articulation of the power transmission rod 8 to the pivot lever 9 in the actual Serves lock that contains the latch 10 and the pawl 11 associated therewith. The Swivel lever 9 is connected to the axis of the pawl 11 so that it cannot rotate or swivel, so that pivoting of the cam 7 in the representation of Figure 2 against the Clockwise lifting the pawl 11 out of the trap 10 and this under the effect of a spring, not shown, is pivoted into its open position.

    Betrachtet man nochmals Figur 1, so erkennt man bei 12 eine relativ flache Eindrückung der Abdeckung 5, die dazu dient, während des Fahrbetriebs oder allgemein: bei geschlossener Heckklappe den Griff 13 aufzunehmen, so daß seine in Figur 1 nach rechts weisende Außenfläche gleichsam in Fortsetzung der Außenfläche der Abdeckung 5 verläuft. Dies ist nicht nur herstellungsmäßig günstig, da Tiefziehprozesse an dieser Stelle vermieden sind, sondern sichert die Innenfläche 14 des Griffs 13 auch weitgehend gegen Verschmutzung im Fahrbetrieb. Der Griff 13 ist fest verbunden mit dem in Figur 1 rechten, äußeren Ende des Schließzylindergehäuses 3. Das bedeutet, daß bei einer Längsbewegung des Schließzylindergehäuses 3 aus seiner in Figur 1 dargestellten Schließstellung in seine in Figur 9 wiedergegebene Öffnungsstellung der Griff aus dem Bereich der Vertiefung 12 herausbewegt wird und zum bequemen Ergreifen durch die Hand eines Benutzers freigelegt ist.If we look again at FIG. 1, we see a relatively flat indentation at 12 the cover 5, which is used during driving or in general: at closed tailgate to take the handle 13, so that its in Figure 1 after right-facing outer surface, as it were, in continuation of the outer surface of the cover 5 runs. This is not only favorable in terms of production, since deep-drawing processes involve this Are avoided, but also largely secures the inner surface 14 of the handle 13 against pollution while driving. The handle 13 is firmly connected to that in FIG. 1 right, outer end of the lock cylinder housing 3. That means that at one Longitudinal movement of the lock cylinder housing 3 from its shown in Figure 1 Closed position in its open position shown in Figure 9, the handle from the Area of the recess 12 is moved out and for convenient gripping by the A user's hand is exposed.

    Diese Längsbewegung des Griffs 13 wird durch eine entsprechende Längsbewegung des Schließzylindergehäuses 3 hervorgerufen, deren Ursache ihrerseits die Entspannung einer Druckfeder 15 ist, die zwischen dem schulterartigen Anschlag 16 am Gehäuse 3 einerseits und dem bundartigen Anschlag 17 an der Aufnahme 4 andererseits eingespannt ist. Sobald also Maßnahmen getroffen werden, die zur Entspannung der Feder 15 führen (siehe Figur 9), erfolgt die Bewegung des Schließzylindergehäuses 3 zusammen mit dem Griff 13 in Längsrichtung des Schließzylinders aus der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ruhetage in seine in Figur 9 wiedergegebene Betriebslage. Zwecks gezielter Entspannung der Feder 15 ist am Schließzylindergehäuse bei 18 schwenkbar der Spannhaken 19 gelagert, der die Querwand 4a und damit das linke Ende der Feder 15 in dem Betriebszustand nach Figur 1 hintergreift und demgemäß ein Entspannen der Feder verhindert. Sobald aber der Nocken 7 durch Drehen des Schließzylinders 1 um einen vorgegebenen Winkel ― im unteren Bereich der Figur 2 bei 20 angedeutet ― aus seiner Ausgangsstellung 21 gedreht ist, erfolgt auch eine Schwenkung des Nockens 7 in Figur 2 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn, so daß der Nocken 7, der den Spannhaken 19 untergreift, den Spannhaken in der Darstellung der Figur 1 im Uhrzeigersinn entgegen der Wirkung seiner Feder 22 um die Achse 18 etwas schwenkt: Der Spannhaken 19 gibt dann die Feder 15 zur Entspannung frei, so daß sich die aus Figur 9 ersichtliche Lage der verschiedenen Teile ergibt.This longitudinal movement of the handle 13 is achieved by a corresponding longitudinal movement of the lock cylinder housing 3, the cause of which in turn Relaxation of a compression spring 15, which is between the shoulder-like stop 16 Housing 3 on the one hand and the collar-like stop 17 on the receptacle 4 on the other hand is clamped. As soon as measures are taken that lead to Relax the spring 15 (see Figure 9), the movement of the Lock cylinder housing 3 together with the handle 13 in the longitudinal direction of the Lock cylinder from the rest days shown in Figure 1 in its in Figure 9 reproduced operating situation. For the purpose of targeted relaxation of the spring 15 is on Lock cylinder housing pivoted at 18 of the tension hook 19, which the Cross wall 4a and thus the left end of the spring 15 in the operating state according to the figure 1 engages behind and accordingly prevents the spring from relaxing. But as soon as the Cam 7 by turning the lock cylinder 1 by a predetermined angle - in indicated at 20 in the lower region of FIG. 2 - rotated from its initial position 21 is, there is also a pivoting of the cam 7 in Figure 2 against the Clockwise, so that the cam 7, which engages under the clamping hook 19, the Tension hook in the representation of Figure 1 clockwise counter to the effect its spring 22 swings somewhat about the axis 18: the tensioning hook 19 then gives the Spring 15 free for relaxation, so that the position shown in Figure 9 different parts.

    In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist angenommen, daß der mit 20 in Figur 2 bezeichnete Schwenkwinkel des Schwenkhebels 9 zur Auslösung des Schlosses, d.h. zur Freigabe der Falle 10 durch die Sperrklinke 11, führt, und daß erst bei weiterem Verschwenken bis zum Winkel 23 der Spannhaken 19 die Feder 15 zum Entspannen freigibt.In the exemplary embodiment shown, it is assumed that the number 20 in FIG designated pivot angle of the pivot lever 9 for triggering the lock, i.e. to release the trap 10 by the pawl 11, leads, and that only with further Swivel the spring 15 to relax up to the angle 23 of the tension hooks 19 releases.

    In Figur 2 sind im oberen linken Teil die den Schwenkwinkeln 20, 21 und 23 entsprechenden Schwenkstellungen des Nockens 7 bei 20', 21' und 23' angegeben.In FIG. 2, the swivel angles 20, 21 and 23 are in the upper left part corresponding pivot positions of the cam 7 indicated at 20 ', 21' and 23 '.

    Der Schlüssel 2 kann bei in seiner Öffnungsstellung befindlichem Schließzylindergehäuse 3 (siehe Figur 9) manuell oder durch eine Feder an der Sperrklinke 11 zurückgedreht werden. Zum erneuten Verriegeln der Heckklappe 5 wird auf den Griff 13 Druck ausgeübt; der Spannhaken 19 rastet dann wieder hinter der Querwand 4a ein.The key 2 can be in its open position Lock cylinder housing 3 (see Figure 9) manually or by a spring on the Pawl 11 can be turned back. To lock the tailgate 5 again exerted pressure on the handle 13; the clamping hook 19 then snaps behind the Transverse wall 4a.

    Zur Befestigung der Aufnahme 4 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel eine Mutter 24 vorgesehen. Die Ausfahrbewegung des Schließzylindergehäuses 3 zusammen mit dem Schließzylinder 1 wird begrenzt durch die einen bundartigen Anschlag bildende Schraube 25.In this exemplary embodiment, a nut 24 is used to fasten the receptacle 4 intended. The extension movement of the lock cylinder housing 3 together with the Lock cylinder 1 is limited by the screw forming a collar-like stop 25th

    Während sich das eben erläuterte Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung auf ein rein manuell betätigbares Fallenschloß bezieht, wird nun anhand der Figuren 13 bis 17 eine erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion beschrieben, die bei wahlweise manuell und motorisch betätigbaren Fallenschlössern (Zentralverriegelung) einsetzbar ist. Für die bereits in den Figuren 1 bis 12 erscheinenden Teile sind die entsprechenden Bezugszeichen beibehalten.While the embodiment of the invention just explained relates to a pure manually operated latch lock, is now based on Figures 13 to 17 Construction according to the invention described, the optionally manual and motor operated latch locks (central locking) can be used. For those already in the Figures 1 to 12 appearing parts are the corresponding reference numerals maintained.

    Wie insbesondere Figur 13 zeigt, dient auch hier zum gezielten

In Figur 13 ist dieser durch den schwenkbar auf der Schließzylinderachse 6 gelagerten Motornocken 26 angehoben worden, so daß ihn und damit den Griff 13 die Querwand 4a zur Bewegung in Figur 13 nach rechts freigegeben hat (vergleiche die Verhältnisse in den Figuren 1 und 3). Der Motornocken 26 steht ― daher sein Name ― über Verzahnungen 27 (am Motornocken) und 28 (Motorabtriebsrad) in Schwenkverbindung mit dem Elektromotor 29, der Bestandteil einer hier nicht zu beschreibenden, da an sich bekannten Zentralverriegelung des Fahrzeugs ist. Der Motor 29 ist an die Aufnahme 4 angeschraubt, die zur Montage und zum Durchtritt der Motorwelle 30 die radiale Ausnehmung 31 aufweist.As FIG. 13 in particular shows, this also serves for targeted

    Extending "the handle 13 in its assumed position of use, the combination of the compression spring 15 with the pivotally mounted tensioning hook 19. In Figure 13 this has been raised by the motor cam 26 pivotally mounted on the lock cylinder axis 6, so that it and thus the handle 13 the transverse wall 4a for movement to the right in Figure 13 (compare the relationships in Figures 1 and 3.) The motor cam 26 - hence its name - is connected to the electric motor 29 via toothings 27 (on the motor cam) and 28 (motor driven wheel), is the component of a central locking system of the vehicle which is not to be described here, since the motor 29 is screwed onto the receptacle 4 which has the radial recess 31 for mounting and for the passage of the motor shaft 30.

    Die Figuren 14a und 14b zeigen die beiden Schwenkstellungen des Motornockens 26.FIGS. 14a and 14b show the two pivot positions of the motor cam 26.

    An dem Motornocken 26 greift die Kraftübertragungsstange 8 an, die, wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, gleichzeitig durch Verschwenken der Sperrklinke 11 die Drehfalle 10 freigibt; Ausfahren des Griffs 13 und Entriegeln des Fallenschlosses erfolgen also gleichzeitig durch motorisches Verschwenken des Motornockens 26.The force transmission rod 8 acts on the motor cam 26, which, as in FIG shown, simultaneously releases the catch 10 by pivoting the pawl 11; Extending the handle 13 and unlocking the latch lock thus take place simultaneously by pivoting the motor cam 26.

    Für eine entsprechende Betätigung von Schloß und Griff mittels des Schlüssels 2, also manuell, ist dreh- bzw. schwenkfest auf der Schließzylinderwelle 6 der ― auch als Schließzylindernocken zu charakterisierende ― Nocken 32 angeordnet, der (vergleiche Figur 18) den Zapfen 33 am Motornocken 26 untergreift, so daß der vom Motornocken 26 untergriffene Spannhaken 19 und die ebenfalls am Motornocken 26 angreifende Kraftübertragungsstange 8 wahlweise über den Schlüssel 2 oder motorisch in ihre Entriegelungs- oder Freigabestellungen bewegbar sind.For a corresponding actuation of the lock and handle by means of the key 2, that is manually, is rotatable or swiveling on the lock cylinder shaft 6 - also as Lock cylinder cams to be characterized - arranged cams 32, which (compare Figure 18) engages the pin 33 on the motor cam 26 so that the motor cam 26 underpinned tensioning hooks 19 and those also engaging on the motor cam 26 Power transmission rod 8 either with the key 2 or motorized in your Unlocking or release positions are movable.

    Mit der Erfindung ist demgemäß eine gattungsgemäße Verschlußanordnung geschaffen, die praktisch ohne zusätzlichen Platzbedarf die Möglichkeit gibt, einen Griff zwischen einer eingerückten Schließlage und einer ausgerückten Öffnungslage zu bewegen. Dabei wird die Bewegung des Griffs in seiner Arbeitsstellung (Öffnungslage) selbsttätig bei der ohnehin erforderlichen Betätigung eines Schlüssels oder eines Motors ausgelöst.The invention accordingly provides a generic closure arrangement, which gives you the option of a grip between practically without additional space to move an engaged closed position and a disengaged open position.
