Abstract

The vehicle lock has an adjustable lock casing (2) and a latch casing (1) that fits in the lock casing. The latch casing has a latch bolt (3) that is anchored against a lock shackle (4) in the lock casing. The lock casing has a cavity with side walls (11) to hold the latch casing. The latch casing tapers like a trapezoid in the direction of the lock casing in the pivot plane of the latch bolt. The trapezoid edges of the latch casing are guided by coarse and fine guide devices against spring-loaded lock wedges (7), where the spring bias acts against the lock direction. The coarse guide devices comprise a bore (8) inside a lock wedge and a rigid guide rod (9) in the lock casing that fits in the bore, where there is a guide play between the bore and the guide rod. The fine guide devices comprise a plane inner guide face of a side wall of the lock casing and a matching plane guide surface on the lock wedge.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrzeugschloss, insbesondere für eine Heckklappentür, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a vehicle lock, in particular for a tailgate door, according to the preamble of the claim 1.

Ein solches Fahrzeugschloss ist aus EP 0 314 075 B1 bekannt. Die Schließkeile werden dort über Nut- und Federmittel geführt, wodurch es beim Schließen des Schlosses zu Funktionsstörungen wegen Verkantens der Schließkeile innerhalb der Führungsmittel kommen kann. Des weiteren ist das Schließgehäuse bei jenem bekannten Schloss lediglich in einem Zustand montierbar, bei dem ein Einblick in das Innere bei einem eingeführten Schlossgehäuse nicht möglich ist. Dadurch ist ein Toleranzausgleich bei der Montage des Schließgehäuses mit Bezug auf die Lage des Schlossgehäuses schwierig.Such a vehicle lock is known from EP 0 314 075 B1. The locking wedges are there using tongue and groove means guided, causing it to close when the lock is closed Malfunctions due to tilting of the locking wedges inside the leadership means can come. Furthermore, that is Lock housing in that known lock only in one Condition mountable, with an insight into the interior an inserted lock housing is not possible. Thereby is a tolerance compensation when assembling the lock case difficult with regard to the position of the lock housing.

Die Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, die Funktionsfähigkeit des gattungsgemäßen Schlosses einerseits und eine toleranzausgleichende Montage des Schließgehäuses andererseits zu verbessern.The invention addresses the problem that Functionality of the generic lock on the one hand and a tolerance-compensating assembly of the lock case on the other hand to improve.

Eine grundsätzliche Lösung dieses Problems zeigt ein gattungsgemäßes Fahrzeugschloss mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 auf.A basic solution to this problem shows one generic vehicle lock with the characteristic Features of claim 1.

Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Appropriate configurations are the subject of Subclaims.

Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, die Schließkeile derart zu lagern, daß einerseits eine spielbehaftete Groblagerung und Führung der Schließkeile bei noch nicht geschlossenem Schloss gegeben ist, während eine exakte Seitenfixierung durch eine zusätzliche Feinpositionierung erreicht wird. Diese Feinpositionierung, die durch einen permanenten Federdruck auf die trapezförmig gestalteten, aneinander liegenden Teile erzielt wird, stellt sicher, daß absolut kein Querspiel auftreten kann. Durch die bestehende Trapezform existiert unter dem herrschenden Federdruck eine Selbsttrennung zwischen den aneinander liegenden Teilen.The invention is based on the general idea that To store locking wedges in such a way that one hand playful rough storage and guidance of the locking wedges not yet closed lock is given while a exact side fixation by an additional Fine positioning is achieved. This fine positioning, by a permanent spring pressure on the trapezoidal designed, adjacent parts is achieved sure that absolutely no cross-game can occur. Through the existing trapezoidal form exists under the prevailing Spring pressure a self-separation between each other lying parts.

Eine toleranzausgleichende Montage des Schließgehäuses wird dadurch ermöglicht, daß das Schließgehäuse in geöffnetem Zustand montiert werden kann, wozu das Schließgehäuse derart aufgebaut ist, daß dessen Innenraum erst nach der Montage durch eine Abdeckung verschlossen wird. Um eine derartige Abdeckung erst nach der Montage des Schließgehäuses anbringen zu können, ist das Widerlager für das Verankern der Drehfalle bei geschlossenem Schloss ausschließlich auf einer Grundplatte des Schließgehäuses angebracht.A tolerance-compensating assembly of the lock housing is thereby allowing the lock case in the open Condition can be assembled, which is why the lock housing is built up that its interior only after assembly is closed by a cover. To such a Only attach the cover after installing the lock case To be able to, is the abutment for anchoring the catch with the lock closed only on a base plate of the lock case attached.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt.An embodiment of the invention is in the drawing shown.

Das Fahrzeugschloss besteht aus einem Schlossgehäuse 1 und einem Schließgehäuse 2. Bei geschlossenem Schloss ist das Schlossgehäuse 1 in das Schließgehäuse 2 eingeschoben. In diesem Zustand ist das Schlossgehäuse 1 durch eine in diesem gelagerte Drehfalle 3 an einem Schließbügel 4 des Schließgehäuses 2 arretiert. Der Schließbügel 4 ist auf einer Grundplatte 5 des Schließgehäuses befestigt.The vehicle lock consists of a lock housing 1 and a lock case 2. When the lock is closed that is Lock housing 1 inserted into the lock housing 2. In this state is the lock housing 1 by one in this stored rotary latch 3 on a striker 4 of the Lock housing 2 locked. The striker 4 is on one Base plate 5 of the lock case attached.

Das Schlossgehäuse 1 befindet sich beispielsweise an einer Fahrzeug-Heckklappentür, während das Schließgehäuse an der Fahrzeugkarosserie befestigt ist. An der Fahrzeugkarosserie kann die Grundplatte 5 des Schließgehäuses gegenüber der durch eine bereits montierte Heckklappentür vorgegebenen Lage des Schlossgehäuses 1 grob justiert fixiert werden und zwar über Befestigungsmittel, die an seitlichen Flanschen 6 des Schließgehäuses 2 angreifen.The lock housing 1 is located on a Vehicle tailgate while the lock case on the Vehicle body is attached. On the vehicle body can the base plate 5 of the lock case compared to the through an already installed tailgate door given position of the Lock housing 1 can be fixed roughly adjusted and above Fasteners attached to the side flanges 6 of the Attack lock housing 2.

Das Schlossgehäuse 1 ist in der Schwenkebene der Drehfalle 3 seitlich trapezförmig ausgebildet.The lock housing 1 is in the swivel plane of the rotary latch 3 laterally trapezoidal.

In der Grundplatte 5 des Schließgehäuses 2 sind seitlich in Schließrichtung beweglich gelagerte Schließkeile 7 vorgesehen. Die Schräge der Schließkeile 7 ist der Trapezform des Schlossgehäuses 1 derart angepaßt, daß die Seitenflächen des Schließgehäuses 1 flächenschlüssig an den Schließkeilen 4 anliegen können.In the base plate 5 of the lock housing 2 are laterally in Closing direction movable wedges 7 provided. The slope of the wedges 7 is the trapezoidal shape of the Lock housing 1 adapted so that the side surfaces of the Lock housing 1 flush on the locking wedges 4 can concern.

Die Schließkeile 7 besitzen an der Grundplatte 5 des Schließgehäuses 2 eine Grobführung, das heißt eine Führung mit einem relativ großen Spiel innerhalb der Führungsmittel. Die Führungsmittel bestehen je Schließkeil 7 aus einer in Schließrichtung verlaufenden Bohrung 8 innerhalb eines Schließkeiles 7 und einem an der Grundplatte 5 befestigten Führungsstab 9, der in die Bohrung 8 mit radialem Spiel eingreift. Durch Schraubenfedern 10, die sich an der Grundplatte 5 abstützen, sind die Schließkeile 7 federbelastet entgegen der Schließrichtung des Schlossgehäuses 1 in Richtung auf das Schließgehäuse 2. Gegen ein Herausfallen oder Herausnehmen aus dem Schließgehäuse 2 sind die Schließkeile 7 gesichert. Diese Sicherung kann durch eine feste Verbindung an den Schraubenfedern 10 gegeben sein, wobei diese Schraubenfedern 10 wiederum fest mit der Grundplatte 5 verbunden sind. Möglich sind allerdings auch andere Sicherungsvorkehrungen, die beispielsweise durch Anschläge in dem Schließgehäuse 2 gegeben sein können.The locking wedges 7 have on the base plate 5 of the Lock housing 2 a rough guide, that is, a guide with a relatively large game within the management means. The Guide means consist of one in each wedge 7 Bore 8 running within a closing direction Wedge 7 and one attached to the base plate 5 Guide rod 9 in the bore 8 with radial play intervenes. By coil springs 10, which are on the Support base plate 5, the strikers 7 are spring-loaded against the closing direction of the lock housing 1 in the direction on the lock housing 2. Against falling out or The locking wedges 7 are removed from the locking housing 2 secured. This fuse can be connected through a fixed connection the coil springs 10 be given, these Coil springs 10 are in turn fixed to the base plate 5 are connected. However, others are also possible Safeguards, for example by attacks in the lock housing 2 can be given.

Das Schließen des Schlosses läuft wie folgt ab.The lock is closed as follows.

Beim Einführen des Schlossgehäuses 1 in das Schließgehäuse 2 legen sich die trapezförmigen Seitenkanten des Schlossgehäuses 1 an die zugeordneten Schließkeile 7 an. Bei einer zentrischen Lage des Schlossgehäuses 1 gegenüber dem Schließgehäuse 2 schieben sich beide Schließkeile 7 beim Einführen des Schlossgehäuses 1 gleichmäßig in das Schließgehäuse 2 unter Spannen der Schraubenfedern 10 ein. Die Drehfalle 3 arretiert in bekannter Weise das Schlossgehäuse 1 an dem Schließbügel 4 gegenüber dem Schließgehäuse 2. Durch die Federbelastung der Schließkeile 7 liegen diese jeweils kontaktierend an den Seitenflächen des Schlossgehäuses 1 einerseits und den Seitenwänden des Schließgehäuses 2 andererseits an. Die Flächen, mit denen die Schließkeile 7 und die Seitenwände des Schließgehäuses 2 aneinanderliegen, sind jeweils eben ausgebildet, wobei die Flächenebenen jeweils parallel zu der Schließrichtung verlaufen. Durch die Anlage der Schließkeile 7 an den Seitenwänden 11 des Schließgehäuses 2 erhalten die Schließkeile 7 ihre Feinpositionierung. Damit eine solche Feinpositionierung möglich ist, müssen die Grobpositionierungs-Führungsmittel, die aus der Bohrung 8 in den Schließkeilen 7 einerseits und den Führungsstäben 9 andererseits bestehen, ein ausreichend großes Führungsspiel aufweisen. Bei einem Durchmesser eines zylindrischen Führungsstabes 9 von 5 mm empfiehlt sich beispielsweise ein diametrales Führungsspiel von etwa 0,2 mm.When the lock housing 1 is inserted into the lock housing 2 the trapezoidal side edges of the lock housing 1 to the associated locking wedges 7. With a centric Position of the lock housing 1 in relation to the lock housing 2 push both locking wedges 7 when inserting the Lock housing 1 evenly in the lock housing 2 below Tension the coil springs 10. The catch 3 locked the lock housing 1 on the striker 4 in a known manner compared to the lock case 2. Due to the spring load of the Locking wedges 7 are each in contact with the Side surfaces of the lock housing 1 on the one hand and the Side walls of the lock housing 2 on the other hand. The Surfaces with which the locking wedges 7 and the side walls of the Lock housing 2 lie against each other, are each flat formed, the surface planes each parallel to the Closing direction. By creating the locking wedges 7 on the side walls 11 of the lock housing 2 receive the Wedges 7 their fine positioning. So that Fine positioning is possible, the Coarse positioning guide means emerging from bore 8 in the locking wedges 7 on the one hand and the guide rods 9 on the other hand, there is a sufficiently large leadership game exhibit. With a diameter of a cylindrical Guide rod 9 of 5 mm is recommended, for example diametrical guide play of about 0.2 mm.

Besteht zwischen dem Schlossgehäuse 1 und dem Schließgehäuse 2 gegenüber einer zentrischen Ausrichtung ein Versatz, so werden die Schließkeile 7 beim Schließen des Schlosses jeweils unterschiedlich tief in das Schließgehäuse 2 eingeschoben, wodurch der gewünschte Toleranzausgleich erzielt wird. It exists between the lock housing 1 and the lock housing 2 offset from a central alignment, so the locking wedges 7 each time the lock is closed inserted at different depths into the lock housing 2, whereby the desired tolerance compensation is achieved.

Die Schließkeile 7 liegen auch bei einem Versatz zwischen Schloss- und Schließgehäuse 1 bzw. 2 federkraftbelastet an den Anlageflächen von Schloss- und Schließgehäuse jeweils flächenschlüssig kontaktierend an. Dadurch ist in Seitenrichtung, das heißt quer zur Schließrichtung, eine exakte Fixierung zwischen Schloss- und Schließgehäuse 1 bzw. 2 gegeben, wodurch im Fahrbetrieb des Fahrzeuges innerhalb des Schlosses keine Klappergeräusche auftreten können.The locking wedges 7 are also at an offset between Lock and lock housing 1 or 2 spring-loaded on the Contact surfaces of lock and lock housing each contacting. This is in Lateral direction, that is, transverse to the closing direction, one exact fixation between lock and lock housing 1 or 2 given, so when driving the vehicle within the Lock rattling noises can occur.

Innerhalb des Schlossgehäuses 1 befindet sich ein Einführschlitz 12, über den das Schlossgehäuse 1 auf den Schließbügel 4 beim Schließen des Schlosses aufgeschoben wird. Dieser Einführschlitz 12 besitzt in Schließrichtung gesehen vorne einen sich nach hinten verjüngenden Schlitzbereich 13, an den sich ein engster Bereich 14 mit einer gewissen Länge gleicher Schlitzbreite anschließt. Diesem engsten Schlitzbereich 14 folgt sodann ein sich wieder erweiternder endseitiger Schlitzbereich 15. Durch den engsten Spaltbereich 14 kann beim Schließen des Schlosses eine Zentrierung gegenüber dem Schließgehäuse 2 mit Hilfe des Schließbügels 4 erreicht werden. Bei verschlossenem Schloss sorgt der endseitige Spaltbereich 15 dafür, daß die Seitenführung des Schlossgehäuses 1 innerhalb des Schließgehäuses 2 ausschließlich durch die seitlichen Schließkeile 7 gegeben ist. Diese Schließkeile 7 können beispielsweise auf Kunststoff sein, während die übrigen Schlossteile, soweit sie bisher beschrieben sind, gewöhnlich aus Metall bestehen.Inside the lock housing 1 is a Insertion slot 12 through which the lock housing 1 on the Striker 4 is pushed open when closing the lock. This insertion slot 12 has seen in the closing direction at the front a slot area 13 tapering towards the rear, to which there is a narrowest area 14 with a certain length same slot width connects. This closest Slot area 14 then follows a widening again end slot area 15. Through the narrowest gap area 14 can be centered when closing the lock compared to the lock housing 2 with the help of the locking bracket 4 can be achieved. When the lock is closed, the End gap area 15 that the side guide of the Lock housing 1 inside the locking housing 2 given exclusively by the side strikers 7 is. These locking wedges 7 can be made of plastic, for example be, while the other parts of the castle, as far as they are are usually made of metal.

Das Schloss kann insgesamt bei offenem Schließgehäuse 2 an dem Fahrzeug montiert werden. Dadurch lassen sich Justagearbeiten an dem Schloss einfach vornehmen. Das Schließgehäuse kann durch einen beispielsweise aufschnappbaren Kunststoffdeckel 16 verschlossen werden.The lock can be a total of 2 with the lock housing open Vehicle can be mounted. This allows adjustment work just make on the lock. The lock case can by means of a snap-on plastic cover 16, for example be closed.
