Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for covering the interior of a motor vehicle, with a displaceable cover element, at least one guide device on which the cover element can be guided and with at least one drive motor.
- Covering devices are used in motor vehicles and above all - but not exclusively - in combination vehicles to shield the cargo space against the passenger area, for example, to prevent objects from flying around in the event of strong negative accelerations. Another application of such
- Covering devices can be roller blinds, as are used in the darkening of windows of a motor vehicle.
- Such a device is shown for example in DE 19825353 AI.
- a web-shaped loading space cover is fixed on both sides to drivers, which in turn are each fixed to a toothed belt guided over deflection rollers.
- the two toothed belts are each driven by an electric motor and a gear acting on the pulleys.
- Disadvantages of this embodiment are on the one hand the high structural complexity and on the other hand the high space requirement, since in particular Automotive space is a very limiting factor.
- the object on which the invention is based is to develop a covering device for the interior of a motor vehicle, for the implementation of which little installation space is required and at the same time high functional reliability.
- the drive motor is arranged on the covering element and is displaceable with it.
- the drive motor can thus be accommodated directly in the loading space, where space is generally the largest.
- the feed lines from the motor to the necessary drive device for moving the cover element can also be implemented with a correspondingly low outlay and short distances.
- the cover element has at its front end a cross bar arranged largely parallel to the end, the at least one end end of which engages with the guide device.
- the front end is the side of the web-shaped cover element, which is orthogonal to the direction of movement of the web.
- the transverse rod which is also arranged orthogonally to the direction of movement at this termination, stabilizes this free end of the web and, because of its rigidity and its interaction with the guide device, guarantees the safe guidance of the cover element during the movement.
- the crossbar is particularly suitable for the arrangement of the drive motor due to its higher rigidity compared to the web-shaped cover element. It is also advantageous in this arrangement that the crossbar and thus also the drive motor are in the vicinity of the guide device.
- the crossbar consists of two aligned partial bars, between which the motor is arranged, so that the motor can be integrated into the crossbar and installed in a space-saving manner.
- At least one planetary gear is assigned to the drive motor, a drive shaft running at least in one of the partial transverse bars and being arranged so as to pass through in the longitudinal direction.
- This type of gearbox makes it possible to adapt the drive to the shape of the crossbar in terms of the space required in order to be able to integrate the gearbox as far as possible into the bar.
- the drive shaft is protected from external influences by the arrangement in the partial transverse rod.
- the drive motor is integrated in the center of the crossbar and has a planetary gear on both sides with a drive shaft and a gearwheel arranged on the end face thereof.
- the respective gearwheel is in engagement with the corresponding tooth profile in each case one of the guide devices. Due to the guidance on both sides and the propulsion on both sides, moving the cover element is more uniform and less prone to malfunction.
- the drive motor advantageously has a casing designed as a handle.
- the band-shaped cover element can also be moved by hand by means of a central attack and without additional effort for an additional handle, it being sensible to provide a corresponding through opening in the cover element in the area of the drive motor in order to ensure that the handle is gripped securely enable.
- the shell also expediently encloses the at least one planetary gear arranged on the drive motor.
- the design of the drive motor as an electric motor is further favorable, with at least one guide device having a busbar in a sensible further development and a pantograph interacting with the busbar being arranged in the region of the end face of the crossbar.
- Fig. 1 is a cargo compartment cover of a car in a schematic, partial representation
- Fig. 2 is a guide rail of the load compartment cover in cross section
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a device 1 for covering a cargo space of a car, for example, to prevent objects located in the cargo space from entering the passenger compartment at high negative acceleration in the event of heavy braking or an accident.
- the cover itself consists of a sheet-like cover element 2, preferably made of a firm but flexible material such as leather or synthetic leather.
- the cover element 2 can be moved continuously between different positions.
- the cover element is moved along a path predetermined by guide devices 3 and 4, the guide devices being guide rails which run parallel to both sides of the cover element 2 in the direction of movement.
- the free end face of the cover element 2 is formed by a rigid crossbar 5. This crossbar 5 stiffens the flexible cover element 2 at its end.
- the two front ends of the crossbar 5 engage in the guide rails 3 and 4 and are movably guided therein.
- the center piece of the crossbar 5 is formed by a drive motor ⁇ designed as an electric motor, which is aligned with the crossbar 5 and with which the cover element - as shown in detail below - can be moved along the guide rails.
- planetary gears 14 and 15 are arranged which are driven by the drive motor 6.
- the crossbar 5 consists of two individual, aligned partial rods 5a and 5b, which extend to both sides of the drive motor, the planetary gear 14, 15 being arranged between the partial rods 5a and 5b and the motor.
- the outer shape of the drive motor 6 is designed as a kind of handle, so that the user of the car can also move the cover element 2 by using the motor, i.e. of the handle by hand and pushes or pulls the cover element 2 in the desired direction along the guide rails 3 and 4.
- the propulsion shown below by means of the drive motor must, however, be solved for this purpose. It is also possible to provide recesses on the guide rails, by means of which the crossbar and the cover element can be lifted out of the guide and can also be reinserted.
- the cover element In the area of the drive motor 6, the cover element has a recess 7, which makes it easier to grasp the drive motor and thus to use it as a handle.
- FIG. 2 shows the guide rail 3 from FIG. 1 in cross section.
- the guide rail 3 is U-shaped, the drive shaft 8 engaging in the open side of the rail pointing in the direction of the drive motor.
- the drive shaft 8 is arranged in the interior of the partial transverse rod 5a formed with an annular cross section, whereby it extends through the partial transverse rod 5a and in the area of the guide rail 3 with its drive-side end face emerging from it.
- a gear 9 is rotatably arranged, which is moved via the drive shaft 8.
- the profile of the gearwheel 9 is in engagement with a toothed profile 10 which is formed along the guide on the guide rail 3 along the overall possible travel range of the cover element.
- the intermeshing of the gear 9 and the tooth profile 10 also inhibits an undesired automatic movement of the gear 9 and, via the motor 6, also of the cover element 2.
- the guide rail 4, not shown in this figure, is mirror-symmetrical with the guide rail 3 shown.
- the guide rail 3 has on the inside of the upper leg of the U-shape, but outside the area in which the tooth profile 10 is formed, a busbar 11 which runs parallel to the course of the guide rail 3.
- a busbar 11 which runs parallel to the course of the guide rail 3.
- a cable runs along the cross bar 5a to that shown in FIG. 1, drive motor, via the latter is supplied with electric current.
- Recesses are provided at various points on the guide rails, in the area of which the crossbar can be lifted out of the guide rails by hand and reinserted. For this purpose, it is necessary to pull the gear wheel out of the tooth profile perpendicular to the direction of travel of the cover or to push it in again in the opposite direction in order to to be able to separate intermeshing teeth.
- the drive motor designed as a handle is particularly suitable for this handling.
