Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock with a resilient deflectable coupling element with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the well-known motor vehicle door lock from which the invention proceeds (DE 43 13 248 A1) has closing elements such as a latch and a Lock catch in the closed position locking pawl and a lock mechanism with several interacting and the closing elements possibly actuated elements.
  • the lock mechanism points, among other things a spring-actuated, under spring force in its rest position returning inside operating lever and an inner locking lever on.
  • the inner locking lever is on the inside operating lever so coupled that an actuation of the inner actuating lever in the securing position First, the inner locking lever, the inner locking lever in Entansswolf brings and then the pawl to release the lock latch lifts.
  • the inner locking lever When the inner locking lever is in the locked position, the inner lever is activated decoupled from the pawl.
  • the inside operating lever thus leads at first still standing in the securing position inside locking lever a Leerhub and initially brings only the inner safety lever in release position. After release of the inside operating lever and returning the inside operating lever to its rest position is by means of a spring force incident coupling element of the inner actuating lever coupled with the pawl. When pressed again the inner actuating lever is then a lifting of the pawl.
  • a coupling rod As the coupling of the inside actuating lever with a pawl actuator accomplishing coupling element is provided a coupling rod, the biased in the direction of the engaged position by spring force, but is deflectable against the spring force.
  • the spring force is from a created separate, acting at the end of the coupling rod return spring.
  • the aforementioned object is in a motor vehicle door lock with the Features of the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing Part of claim 1 solved.
  • the spring element is an integral part of the coupling element in particular in that it is in the form of a resilient Section of the coupling element is formed.
  • the coupling element can be designed as a resilient element, so that on the one hand while the power transmission between the actuator and Triggering element, in particular so the pawl actuator, on the other hand but realized in the spring-elastic function. That saves you an additional movable mounting of the coupling element, an additional Spring and the installation effort to install these components.
  • Parental controls are in various embodiments known, be it mechanically, be it in younger Time already motor (electromotive) operated. More recently It is also known to realize a child safety so that the Parental control always only in the same direction against a return spring force on child safety lever is actuated (DE 195 12 573 A1). at This purely mechanical parental control is thus by the same direction Actuating the child safety lock a change of position of the Child safety lever reaches the other position. Such Two-way rearing is a convenient and easy way to operate.
  • the teaching of the invention is particularly useful.
  • the actuating element of a door inside handle operable inside operating lever, the trigger element a pawl actuator and the adjusting one of a parental controls and / or, in particular, a motorized child-resistant drive Actuated child safety lever is.
  • a motor Child safety drive brings the teaching of the invention control technology a special advantage. You can namely the child safety to everyone Press time, without the respective position of the internal operating lever to pay attention.
  • Fig. 1 can be seen for such a motor vehicle door lock according to the preferred Embodiment initially indicated closing elements such as a latch 1 and a pawl 2, the latch 1 in a Closed position holds, as well as a base support 3 of the motor vehicle door lock.
  • such a motor vehicle door lock has a lock mechanism 4 with a plurality of interacting elements, wherein a manually operable actuator 5 via a coupling element 6 can actuate a trigger element 7 in the engaged position, wherein the coupling element 6 of a manual or motor-operated Adjustment 8 when not actuated actuator 5 off a coupled position in a disengaged position and vice versa is displaceable, wherein the coupling element located in the disengaged position 6 actuated actuator 5 by an operation of the adjusting element 8 in one of the engaged position upstream Memory position is adjustable, wherein the coupling element 6, a spring element 9 is associated with the displacement of the coupling element 6 in the storage position is stretched and wherein the coupling element. 6 then at the end of the operation of the actuating element 5 under effect of the spring element 9 from the storage position to the engaged position relocated.
  • FIG. 5 shows an external operating lever which can be actuated by an outside door handle
  • FIG. the trigger element 7 a pawl actuator and the adjusting element 8 one from a door inside handle, an inside security button and / or an internal locking lever operable by a central locking drive is.
  • FIG. 5 shows an inside operating lever which can be actuated by a door inner handle
  • FIG. the trigger element 7 a pawl actuator and the adjusting element 8 turn the operable from the inside door handle inside operating lever is.
  • the invention shows that the actuating element 5 is one of a Inside handle operable inside operating lever, the trigger element 7 a pawl actuator and the adjusting element 8 a of a child lock actuator 10 and / or, in particular, of a motorized child safety drive 11 is actuable child lock lever.
  • Integral component means that it is the spring element 9 is not a separate, with the coupling element 6 cooperating component, but that the spring element 9 by shaping and choice of material of the coupling element 6 itself is realized.
  • the illustrated and so far preferred embodiment shows that the spring element 9 of a resilient portion the coupling element 6 is formed.
  • the coupling element 6 as preferably made of plastic existing spring lever is designed with a fixed point of articulation 12 and one of them spaced, against the pivot point 12th resiliently deflectable dome bolt 13 o. The like., The engaged in Position cooperates with the trigger element 7. From the section of Coupling element 6 between the fixed pivot point 12 and the coupling pin 13, the spring element 9 is formed. By the design and Material selection of this section can determine the spring characteristic. In the illustrated embodiment, in any case, this section of the Coupling element 6 made of plastic, possibly by fibers or other additives reinforced, executed.
  • Fig. 1 shows a particular embodiment in which the adjusting element 8 forming parental control lever both from a mechanical child safety device 10 via a rotatable nut 14 as well as an electromotive Child lock actuator 11 is actuated.
  • a spring-loaded in one direction ratchet 15 is mounted, the in the actuating path of a cam 16 on a worm wheel 17 of the Parental control drive 11 projects.
  • the adjusting element 8 acts with a heart curve-shaped Backdrop 18 of a ballpoint pen mechanism together, that by each actuation of the adjusting element 8, a switch from the Position "on” to the "off” position or vice versa.
  • Fig. 1 shows the position of the motor vehicle door lock according to the invention with non-actuated actuator 5 (here, internal operating lever) and in disengaged position befindlichem coupling element 6.
  • the actuating element 5 carries a slot in which the coupling pin 13 of the coupling element 6 in Fig. 1 is such that it of a driving surface on Trigger element 7 is free.
  • the pawl actuator, and the pawl 2 is still another transfer lever 19, which may be present by design, but not must be present.
  • Fig. 2 shows how the inner operating lever 5 displaces when in the here explained embodiment pulled on the door handle, not shown becomes.
  • the dome pin 13 is taken along, without that Spring element 9 is tensioned.
  • FIG. 3 shows how the adjusting element 8, in the illustrated embodiment the child safety lever, displaced when in the position of Fig. 2 a child lock operation, so switching on the child safety lock he follows.
  • the parental control lever (adjusting element 8) is shown in FIG. 2 Fig. 3 has been pivoted counterclockwise, in this Case by mechanical actuation of the nut 14, which is not further explained here must become.
