Definitions

  • the invention relates to a door hinge equipped with an integrated braking and holding device, in particular a motor vehicle door hinge of the type in which the hinge pin, which consists of a solid material and connects the two hinge halves to one another in a pivotable manner, is non-rotatably fixed in and with the hinge eyes of one hinge half at least one of the hinge eyes of the other hinge half, in which it is mounted with a sliding seat, interacts, at least in sections, by means of alternating forms on the hinge pin and in the hinge eye, which are preferably axially parallel to the hinge axis and preferably produce braking force.
  • DE-A-44 06 824 discloses a door hinge equipped with an integrated braking and holding device, in particular a motor vehicle door hinge of the aforementioned type, the hinge pin consisting of a solid material in the one or more hinge eyes of one of the two hinge halves being pivotably connected to one another Hinge half is fixed against rotation and with the one or more hinge eyes of the other hinge half, which it intersperses with a bearing play by means of alternately formed forms generating braking force.
  • the desired braking and holding function which opposes a progressively increasing resistance to the further opening movement of the motor vehicle door when a predetermined permitted opening angle of the door is exceeded, is generated in that hinge pin and hinge eye over at least a partial area of their outer or Inner circumference alternately with a radially flat rising wedge surface Before they are equipped, both wedge surfaces must have absolutely the same gradients over their entire coverage area in order to achieve the desired braking and holding function.
  • Such a design of a braking and holding device can only be used for hinges made of a plastic material and can also only be used for relatively light doors or flaps, for example on furniture.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a door hinge, in particular a motor vehicle door hinge with an integrated braking and holding function, which on the one hand ensures the opening and closing movement of the door without resistance via predetermined approved opening angles and on the other hand at least the requirement in the area a selected opening angle of the further opening movement of the door to meet a sufficiently large, progressively increasing resistance, but can dispense with a closely tolerated production of the interacting parts of the braking and holding device.
  • This object is achieved in that in at least one of the hinge eyes of the other hinge half, in which the hinge pin is mounted with a seat, a bore concentric to the hinge axis is lined with a bushing, in which a gradually decreasing diameter towards its free end having a hinge strip is accommodated, which in a section having a lower height than the total hinge eye height has a radially directed shape with respect to the hinge axis and to which a corresponding length section of the hinge pin with a complementary radial projection is assigned.
  • a bushing which can be produced independently of the hinge half receiving it, there is initially no need for complex machining of the hinge eye of the hinge half. Furthermore, the use of a bushing opens up the possibility of adjusting the position or the door opening angle at which the braking and / or holding force is to be applied, independently of the actual hinge-eye bore, in particular by subsequently aligning the bushing within the hinge-eye bore.
  • the profiles of the bushing bore and hinge pin which cooperate with one another in order to apply the braking and holding forces are aligned with one another, for example at the start of a braking or locking function, before the bushing is in a position corresponding to a specific door opening angle the hinge eye of the other hinge half is pressed in.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une charnière de porte équipée d'un dispositif intégré de freinage et de retenue, notamment une charnière de portière de véhicule automobile du type de celles dans lesquelles la broche, constituée d'un matériau massif et reliant les deux moitiés de charnière de façon pivotante, est fixée de manière bloquée en rotation dans le ou les charnons d'une moitié de charnière et coopère, de façon à créer une force de freinage, au moins en partie avec au moins un des charnons de l'autre moitié de charnière, dans laquelle elle est montée avec un ajustement tournant, au moyen de parties saillantes qui sont formées en alternance au niveau de la broche et dans le charnon et qui font saillie radialement par rapport à l'axe de la charnière. L'objectif de l'invention est d'éviter de devoir procéder à un usinage inacceptable dans le cadre de la production en série d'une telle charnière. A cet effet, un trou (24) concentrique par rapport à l'axe de charnière (24) est pourvu d'une douille (19) dans au moins un des charnons (10) de l'autre moitié de charnière (2), dans laquelle la broche (3) est montée avec un ajustement tournant. Dans cette douille, une partie saillante (26) orientée radialement par rapport à l'axe de charnière (24) s'étend sur une hauteur inférieure à la hauteur du charnon, et une partie longitudinale correspondante de la broche (3) est pourvue d'une partie saillante radiale complémentaire (23),
