Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for fastening guide rails, in particular pairs of guide rails for cable-operated window lifters on vehicle doors, door modules or in particular on assembly carriers.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method which enables simple, precisely coordinated positioning of guide rails, in particular pairs of guide rails, on the assembly carrier, with the fastening process not leading to any non-parallelism in the corresponding guide sections of the window regulator system.
  • the guide rails are fixed by dispensing with bores by means of clinching, punch riveting, welding or gluing.
  • the methods according to the invention are therefore those in which the attachment is carried out in a single step.
  • the method according to the invention ensures that the parallelism of the slide contours of the window lifter system is maintained even during or after the fastening process. This leads to the windows running smoothly without clamping the system. A so-called "x compensation" or pre-positioning of the drivers in the window lifter is no longer necessary. Overall, process reliability is increased and assembly costs are reduced.
  • This fastening technology also achieves a sealing function between the wet and dry areas of the vehicle door. It goes without saying that the method can be used not only with two-rail window regulators but also advantageously with single-rail window regulators.
  • the invention also makes it possible to automate the fastening of the slide contours of the window lifter.
  • the guide rails having the slide contour are aligned with one another with their slide sections and fixed in their final position before the joining process. This can be done, for example, using an auxiliary tool with which the glider contours are aligned with one another.
  • the rails positioned in this way can then be fixed using grippers or holders, for example.
  • the guide rails are thus positioned in the desired position, for example with parallel sliding contours. Then the actual fastening process of the guide rails takes place with subsequent removal of the auxiliary tool. This automatically results in an exact alignment of the two guide rails to each other and to the carrier.
  • Another advantage of the fastening method according to the invention is the higher grip quality or stability of the pane, in particular in comparison to a window regulator with a compensation device.
  • the procedure for punch riveting and clinching is known from "punch riveting and clinching *, Verlag Moderne Industrie, Vol. 115, 1995.
  • FIG. 1 shows an assembly carrier for a vehicle door with guide rails according to the invention with sliding contours
  • FIG. 2 shows the basic movement sequences during clinching
  • FIG. 3 shows the basic movement sequences for punch riveting
  • Figure 4 shows the arrangement of the assembly carrier in a joining tool according to the invention
  • Figure 5 shows a possible embodiment of an auxiliary tool according to the invention for aligning the guide rails with respect to the assembly carrier.
  • the assembly carrier 1 shows an assembly carrier 1 of a vehicle door.
  • the assembly carrier 1 has a two-rail cable window regulator 2, which has two laterally spaced guide rails 3 with slide contours 4.
  • sliding elements that can be connected to the window pane 5 are guided so as to be displaceable.
  • the sliding elements can be connected with a cable.
  • the cable is guided within the outer sleeves 6.
  • the cable pull can be wound up and unwound in a known manner on a cable drum accommodated in a housing 7, as a result of which the window pane 5 is raised and lowered.
  • the guide rails 3 are connected to the sheet metal of the assembly carrier 1 at fastening points 8. As can be seen in FIG. 1, it is extremely important to fasten the guide rails 3 very precisely to the assembly carrier 1 and parallel to one another in order to ensure that the window pane 5 runs smoothly.
  • the attachment can be carried out according to the invention by means of clinching according to Figure 2, punch rivets according to Figure 3 or by welding or gluing (not shown in detail).
  • Fig. 2 shows schematically the procedure for the upsetting process of clinching without cutting in four steps.
  • the clinching takes place in that the two materials to be connected (a darkly drawn sheet 9 above, a lighter drawn sheet 11 below) one on top of the other be placed.
  • a simple form punch 10 with a round projection is positioned above the joint.
  • a die 12 which has a round recess with undercuts, is positioned below the joint.
  • the recess has a larger radius than the projection and has parallel or slightly tapered side walls.
  • the die 10 is brought from its initial position into a first position (arrow), in which the sheet metal parts 9, 11 to be joined are deep-drawn into the die 12.
  • the recessed parts of the die 10 are not yet on the upper plate 9.
  • the die 10 is pressed further down until it rests on the upper plate 9. Due to the pressure, the material of the lower plate 11 flows into the undercuts of the die 12 and next to the protrusion of the die 10 laterally inwards over the material of the upper plate 9, so that a "button" of the upper plate flows around the material of the lower plate 11 Sheet 9 results. This leads to a positive connection between the two sheets 9, 11, whereby the joining process is ended.
  • the die 10 is moved back to its starting position, whereby the components 9, 11 connected to one another can be released and removed.
  • the bulge if it interferes optically, for example, can be pressed flat to a so-called flat point. This is done between an upper punch, the protrusion of which projects less far, and a flat lower punch.
  • Fig. 3 shows schematically the procedure for punch riveting, again in four steps.
  • the punch riveting takes place in that the two materials to be joined (a light-colored sheet 14 above, a darker drawn sheet 16 below) are placed on top of one another.
  • a punch 18 with a semi-tubular rivet 22 is positioned above the joint.
  • the stamp 18 is lowered from its initial position into a first position. With the advance of the setting unit 18, 22, a fixation of the joint takes place by placing the setting unit 18, 22. When pushed further, the sheet metal parts 14, 16 to be connected to one another are deep-drawn into the die 20. With the further advance, the rivet element 22 is then fed to the joint. The recessed parts of the stamp 18 are not yet on the upper plate 14.
  • the semi-hollow rivet 22 is pressed further down, punching through the upper material (sheet 14) and spreading over the die engraving in the ductile material of the lower sheet 16 on the die side.
  • the punch rivet part 22 thus punches through the upper sheet metal part 14 and plastically forms the lower sheet metal part 16 into a closing head.
  • the rivet 22 does not penetrate the lower sheet 16, but forms a positive connection between the two sheets 14 and 16, whereby the joining process is finished.
  • the stamp 18 is then moved back to its starting position (return stroke).
  • the rivet 22 and a punched-out material part of the sheet 14 remain in the junction of the sheets 14 and 16.
  • the rivet element 22 receives its closing head in the plastically unshaped lower sheet metal part 16 via a collar formation.
  • the material punched out of the upper sheet metal part 14 fills the hollow rivet shank and is thereby captively enclosed.
  • the interconnected components 14, 16 can be released and removed.
  • the guide rails 3 according to FIG. 4 advantageously have one or more positioning receptacles 23, such as holes, openings or depressions or the like, for the exact positioning of the guide rail 3 on the assembly carrier 1 during the joining process.
  • the sheet metal of the assembly carrier 1 is first positioned with respect to the joining device within the automatic assembly process.
  • the guide rails 3 are only prepositioned.
  • Positioning pins 24 or locating pins are provided on the stamping tool 10 on the ram side and are preferably designed as taper pins.
  • the position of the pins 24 on the joining tool 27 is matched to the overall system.
  • the area of the positioning receptacles 23 in the guide rails 3 is selected such that there is a free space 25 between the guide rail 3 and the sheet metal of the assembly carrier 1, so that the pins 24 for positioning can also reach through the corresponding positioning receptacles 23 of the guide rails 3.
  • the positioning receptacles 23 in a region of the guide rails 3 which protrudes beyond the sheet metal of the assembly carrier 1.
  • the positioning pins 24 are held displaceably or resiliently by means of a spring 26 on the joining tool 27, since after the positioning by the pins only the actual joining process between the guide rail 3 and the sheet metal of the assembly carrier 1 begins and the stamp of the joining tool 27 is moved on.
  • the guide rails 3 can be positioned extremely precisely on the sheet metal of the assembly carrier 1 during the joining process.
  • FIG. 5 In addition to the fixing of the guide rails via positioning aids which, as shown in FIG. 4, are attached to the tool, an embodiment according to FIG. 5 is also possible, in which the assembly carrier plate 1 is shown with guide rails 3.
  • the guide rails must be positioned exactly for the required parallel position of their glider contours. This can be done, for example, by means of an apprenticeship.
  • the guide rails 3 or slide contours positioned in this way are now held in their position by means of holders or grippers 29 which are fastened to a frame or an auxiliary tool 28.
  • the positioning and fixing can be done manually or automatically and is based on the reference point system of the subframe 1 matched.
  • the connection process can then be carried out, for example using a Tox tool.
