Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rod part for an adjustable vehicle roof according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • an adjustable between a firing position and an open position motor vehicle hood which consists of a top linkage with various linkage parts and a top cover material that is carried by the top linkage.
  • the linkage parts are designed as levers, handlebars and bows, which form a cooperating linkage kinematics in order to enable the top of the vehicle to open and close; at the same time, a compact storage dimension should be achieved in the open position.
  • the linkage parts In order to enable a three-dimensional adjustment movement of the vehicle top between the closed and open positions, the linkage parts have joints via which the linkage parts are connected to one another or to the vehicle body in an articulated manner. The joints are formed on joint pieces which are welded to a central support of the rod part.
  • the center girder and the front joint part of a rod part form a common component, which, however, has to be reworked with great effort and expense with the required quality and accuracy, in particular in the region of the joint for the execution of the joint.
  • a joint part with an approximately cylindrical housing is known from the document DE 195 32 568 C1, at one end of which a bushing is inserted, into which a pin is axially screwed, which is the carrier of a ball and socket arrangement for connection on the body side.
  • the socket is designed as a separate component from the housing, which is inserted axially into the housing.
  • the hinge arrangement is connected to the housing via two intermediate components, namely the pin, the free end of which supports the ball joint arrangement, and the bushing, into which the other end of the pin is screwed.
  • This joint arrangement requires a plurality of individual components, which increases the manufacturing and assembly costs.
  • the invention is based on the problem of producing rod parts with end joints with high quality simply and inexpensively.
  • the novel linkage part is constructed in two parts and comprises a central support and at least one articulated part arranged on one end face, the central support and articulated part being connected to one another in a form-fitting manner.
  • This design offers the advantage that the joint part to be fastened to the center beam can be designed as a standardized component, through time and cost-effective production, in particular in the manufacture of the joint, and that at the same time an individually adapted center bracket can be used, the positive connection ensuring sufficient force transmission between the center bracket and the joint part.
  • the form fit between the central support and the joint part is formed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the central support, so that in the direction of the longitudinal axis it is possible to insert the joint part into the central support or remove it from the central support and to transmit power in the direction transverse to the longitudinal axis.
  • the center support and the joint part are advantageously also cohesively connected to one another, in particular by welding, in order to be able to additionally transmit forces in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the center support.
  • a non-positive and / or positive connection in the direction of the longitudinal axis can also be considered.
  • a receiving opening is provided on the front side of the central support, through which the joint part can be inserted.
  • the receiving opening on the central support can be designed in a standardized manner and adapted to the dimensions of the joint part, whereby ⁇ regardless of the type of joint used, it is possible to easily assemble different central supports and articulation points in the manner of a modular system.
  • the receiving opening is formed in a receiving sleeve, which is captively attached to the central support.
  • the receiving sleeve can either form an independent component, which is attached to the central support, for example by welding, or can be produced by machining or non-cutting machining of the end face of the central support in accordance with the cross section of the standardized joint part.
  • Both end faces of the central support are advantageously constructed to accommodate standardized articulation points, with different joints possibly being arranged on the two end faces of the central support by appropriate selection of the articulation points to be connected.
  • the joint part and the central support are made of a weldable material, in particular of a chromium-nickel steel, at least in the area of the adjoining connection.
  • joint parts can be manufactured with sufficient accuracy before the assembly with the central girder. Subsequent surface coating of the joint part is also not absolutely necessary.
  • Pushing the joint parts into the receiving opening in the center bracket also offers the advantage that the insertion depth m varies in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the center bracket and can be adapted to the respective structural conditions.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an adjustable vehicle roof, which is equipped with the rod parts designed in the manner according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the end portion of a rod part with a center beam and one thereon fastened joint part
  • FIG. 3 is a view along section line III-III of FIG. 2,
  • FIG. 5 is a view along section line V-V of FIG. 4th
  • the vehicle roof 1 of a motor vehicle shown in FIG. 1 is to be adjusted between the closed position shown spanning the vehicle interior and an open position releasing the interior.
  • the vehicle roof 1 consists of a convertible top linkage 2 with a plurality of linkage parts which are articulated to one another or to the vehicle body, and a convertible top cover fabric 3 carried by the convertible top linkage 2.
  • the vehicle roof 1 is designed as a folding top in the exemplary embodiment; however, it may also be appropriate to design the vehicle roof as a hard top.
  • the linkage part 4 to be assigned to the convertible top linkage consists of a central support 5 and an articulated part 6 which is connected at the end to the central support 5 and which is provided with an articulated eye 7 for articulated connection to a further linkage part or to the vehicle body.
  • Center beam 5 and joint part 6 are each independent Component formed, which are held captive to one another in the assembly position in the direction of the longitudinal axis 8 of the central support, in particular in a form-fitting, material-locking and / or non-positive manner, so that in the direction of the longitudinal axis 8 a force transmission between central support 5 and joint part 6 is possible.
  • the joint part 6 can be inserted axially in the direction of the longitudinal axis 8 m, an end receiving opening 9 in the central support 5, until the desired axial position of the joint part 6 relative to the central support 5 is reached, which the joint part 6 in the receiving opening 9 is immovably fixed.
  • the central support 5 is designed as a hollow profile which is open to one side, the inner profile of the central support 5 forming the receiving opening 9 for receiving the joint part 6 in the region of the axial end face.
  • the joint part 6 is provided with a rectangular cross section.
  • the central support 5 of the rod part 4 has a receiving sleeve 10 on each of the two axial end faces, which has an axial receiving opening 9 for receiving the joint part 6.
  • the receiving sleeves 10 can either be formed in one piece with the central support and, for example, be produced from the central support 5 by a shaping process or, in an alternative embodiment, form an independent component that is independent of the central support 5 and is firmly connected to the central support 5. in particular is welded to it.
  • the receiving sleeve 10 is adapted to the cross section of the central support in the transition to the central support 5, on the other hand, on the opposite, free end face is designed to accommodate the joint part 6. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS.
  • the receiving sleeve 10 has a flattened cross section with two parallel longitudinal sides which are connected via narrow sides bent in the shape of a part circle.
  • the dimensions of the receiving opening 9 in the receiving sleeve 10 and the joint part 6 are matched to one another in such a way that the thickness of the joint part 6 corresponds to the width of the receiving opening 9, so that the joint part 6 is seated in the receiving opening 9 without play.
  • Both the joint part 6 and the central support 5 expediently consist of a chromium-nickel steel, at least in the adjoining area, but in particular completely.
