Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Antrieb zum Verschwenken einer mit einem Scharnierbü- gel drehfest verbundenen Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe (Heckklappe, Motorhaube etc.).The invention relates to a drive for pivoting a gel with a hinge strap rotatably connected vehicle door or vehicle door (tailgate, hood, etc.).

Aus der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung 101 17 933.2 ist ein Kraftfahrzeug mit automatisch verschliessbarer Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe (im folgenden auch zusammenfassend nur als Fahrzeugtür bezeichnet) bekannt, bei dem durch eine entsprechende Betätigung eines in der Instrumententafel vorgesehenen Schalters die Fahrzeugtür geschlossen oder geöffnet werden kann. Hierzu wirkt das von dem Schalter erzeugte Schaltsignal auf eine elektronische Steuereinrichtung, die ihrerseits elektrische Steuersignale zur Aktivierung eines Elektromotors erzeugt, der dann seinerseits über ein nachgeschaltetes Getriebe auf eine hebelförmige Verlängerung des Scharnierbügels einwirkt und die Fahrzeugtür verschwenkt oder verschiebt.From the not previously published German patent application 101 17 933.2 is a motor vehicle with automatically lockable vehicle door or vehicle door (hereinafter also referred to collectively only as a vehicle door) known in which the vehicle door can be closed or opened by a corresponding actuation of a switch provided in the instrument panel. For this purpose, the switching signal generated by the switch acts on an electronic control device, which in turn generates electrical control signals for activating an electric motor, which then in turn acts via a downstream transmission on a lever-shaped extension of the hinge bracket and pivots or shifts the vehicle door.

Ein Antrieb ist auch bekant aus der vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung 197 44 908 A1 .A drive is also bekant from the prepublished German patent application 197 44 908 A1 ,

Nachteilig ist bei diesem Kraftfahrzeug unter anderem, dass der Scharnierbügel mit einem zusätzlichen hebelförmigen Teil versehen werden muss. Ausserdem ist der Antrieb relativ platzaufwendig aufgebaut. Schliesslich ist der Teil des Antriebes, der mit dem Scharnierbügel verbunden ist, häufig für einen Dritten sichtbar, wenn sich die hebelförmige Verlängerung des Scharnierbügels nicht während ihres gesamten Schwenkweges zum Öffnen der Heckklappe etc. innerhalb des Dachhimmels des entsprechenden Kraftfahrzeuges befindet.A disadvantage of this motor vehicle, inter alia, that the hinge bracket must be provided with an additional lever-shaped part. In addition, the drive is constructed relatively space consuming. Finally, the part of the drive, which is connected to the hinge bracket, often visible to a third party when the lever-shaped extension of the hinge bracket is not throughout its pivoting to open the tailgate, etc. within the headliner of the corresponding motor vehicle.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen platzsparend aufgebauten Antrieb der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, bei dem die Kopplung zwischen dem Antrieb und dem Scharnierbügel auf einfache Weise und möglichst für einen Dritten unsichtbar anordbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide a space-saving drive of the type mentioned, in which the coupling between the drive and the hinge bracket in a simple manner and possible for a third person invisible can be arranged.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1.

Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unterensprüche.Further, particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the subordinate claims.

Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, den Antrieb nicht mit einem zusätzlichen hebelförmigen Teil des Scharnierbügels zu verbinden, sondern direkt auf die mit dem Scharnierbügel drehfest verbundene und z.B. im Dachhimmel des entsprechenden Kraftfahrzeuges liegende Scharnierachse einzuwirken.The invention is based essentially on the idea not to connect the drive with an additional lever-shaped part of the hinge bracket, but directly on the non-rotatably connected to the hinge bracket and, for example. acting in the headliner of the corresponding motor vehicle hinge axis.

Bei Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Antriebes ist es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich, die entsprechenden Scharniere einschließlich der Scharnierachse mit Scharnierbügel an der noch nicht oberflächenbehandelten Karosserie des Fahrzeuges zu befestigen und den Antrieb, falls gewünscht, erst später in das ansonsten fertige Fahrzeug einzubauen. Da der erfindungsgemäße Antrieb üblicherweise seitlich von dem Scharnier mit Scharnierachse verbunden wird, muß die entsprechende Scharnierachse gegebenenfalls seitlich aus dem Scharnier herausgeführt bzw. verlängert werden.When using the drive according to the invention, it is advantageously possible to attach the corresponding hinges including the hinge axis with hinge bracket on the not yet surface-treated body of the vehicle and to install the drive, if desired, only later in the otherwise finished vehicle. Since the drive according to the invention is usually connected laterally from the hinge with hinge axis, the corresponding hinge axis must optionally be led out laterally from the hinge or extended.

Um eine gute Kraftübertragung bei relativ geringem Platzbedarf zu ermöglichen, hat sich als Getriebe für das Verschwenken der Scharnierachse vor allem die Verwendung eines Hebelgetriebes als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wobei ein Antriebshebel mit dem Motor und ein Abtriebshebel mit der Scharnierachse drehfest verbunden sind und wobei die beiden Hebel über mindestens eine -vorzugsweise zwei symmetrisch zueinander angeordnete- Kupplungsstange(n) gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind.In order to enable a good power transmission with a relatively small footprint, the use of a lever mechanism has proven to be advantageous as a transmission for pivoting the hinge axis, wherein a drive lever with the motor and an output lever with the hinge axis are rotatably connected and wherein the two levers via at least one - preferably two symmetrically arranged - coupling rod (s) are hinged together.

Zum Ausgleich von Koaxialitätstoleranzen zwischen der Antriebswelle und der Scharnierachse hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, die Kupplungsstangen über Gelenklager an den Hebeln zu befestigen, so daß Taumelbewegungen bis zu 5° um den Hauptbefestigungspunkt an der Scharnierachse möglich sind.To compensate for Koaxialitätstoleranzen between the drive shaft and the hinge axis, it has proven to be useful to attach the coupling rods on spherical bearings on the levers so that wobbling movements are possible up to 5 ° to the main attachment point on the hinge axis.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den folgenden anhand von Figuren erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen. Es zeigen:

  • Fig.1 die perspektivische Darstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Antriebes mit Hebelgetriebe ohne Getriebegehäuse und
  • Fig.2 eine Fig. 1 entsprechende Darstellung, bei welcher das Hebelgetriebe mit einem Getriebegehäuse versehen ist.
Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following with reference to figures explained embodiments. Show it:
  • Fig.1 the perspective view of a drive according to the invention with Lever gear without gear housing and
  • Fig.2 a Fig. 1 corresponding representation in which the lever mechanism is provided with a transmission housing.

In den Fig.1 ist mit 1 ein Antrieb zum Verschwenken einer mit einem Scharnierbügel 2 drehfest verbundenen, gestrichelt angedeuteten Heckklappe 3 eines Kraftfahrzeuges bezeichnet. Der Scharnierbügel 2 ist drehfest mit einer Scharnierachse 4 verbunden, welche schwenkbar an einem Scharnier 5 angeordnet ist. Das Scharnier 5 ist an der ebenfalls gestrichelt angedeuteten Karosserie 6 des entsprechenden Fahrzeuges befestigt.In the Fig.1 1 is a drive for pivoting a with a hinge bracket 2 rotatably connected, indicated by dashed lines the tailgate 3 of a motor vehicle. The hinge bracket 2 is rotatably connected to a hinge axis 4, which is pivotally mounted on a hinge 5. The hinge 5 is attached to the likewise indicated by dashed lines body 6 of the corresponding vehicle.

Der Antrieb 1 umfaßt einen Elektromotor 7, welcher ebenfalls über einen Flansch 8 an der Karosserie des Fahrzeuges befestigt ist, und ein mit dem Elektromotor 7 verbundennes Hebelgetriebe 9. Das Hebelgetriebe 9 weist einen Antriebshebel 10 auf, welcher mit der Abtriebswelle 11 des Elektromotors 7 (oder eines Zwischengetriebes im Falle eines Getriebemotors) drehfest verbunden ist. Außerdem umfaßt das Hebelgetriebe 9 einen Abtriebshebel 12, der mit der seitlich über das Scharnier 5 hervorstehenden Scharnierachse 4 über eine Formschlußverbindung (z.B. Keilverzahnung) drehfest verbunden ist. Der Antriebshebel 10 und der Abtriebshebel 12 des Hebelgetriebes 9 sind über zwei Kupplungsstangen 13, 14 miteinander gelenkig verbunden. Dabei sind die Kupplungsstangen 13, 14 über Gelenklager 15, 16 an den Hebeln 10, 12 befestigt, um Toleranzen zwischen der Abtriebswelle 11 des Elektromotors 7 und der Scharnierachse 4 auszugleichen.The drive 1 comprises an electric motor 7, which is also secured via a flange 8 to the body of the vehicle, and a verbundennes with the electric motor 7 lever mechanism 9. The lever mechanism 9 has a drive lever 10 which is connected to the output shaft 11 of the electric motor 7 (Fig. or an intermediate gear in the case of a geared motor) is rotatably connected. In addition, the lever mechanism 9 comprises a driven lever 12 which is rotatably connected to the laterally over the hinge 5 protruding hinge axis 4 via a positive connection (for example, splines). The drive lever 10 and the output lever 12 of the lever mechanism 9 are connected via two coupling rods 13, 14 hinged together. The coupling rods 13, 14 via joint bearings 15, 16 attached to the levers 10, 12 to compensate for tolerances between the output shaft 11 of the electric motor 7 and the hinge axis 4.

Das Hebelgetriebe 9 wird bei der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Antriebes 1 durch ein Gehäuse 17 abgedeckt (Fig.2), an dem ein Gelenklager 18 angeordnet ist, in welchem die Scharnierachse 4 schwenkbar gelagert ist, so daß der Antrieb 1 in bezug auf die Scharnierachse 4 zentriert wird. Hinter dem Gelenklager 18 befindet sich ein ebenfalls an dem Gehäuse 17 befestigter Winkelgeber 19, der drehfest mit der Scharnierachse 4 verbunden ist und zur Positionsbestimmung der Heckklappe 3 dient.The lever mechanism 9 is covered in the intended use of the drive 1 by a housing 17 ( Fig.2 ), on which a hinge bearing 18 is arranged, in which the hinge axis 4 is pivotally mounted, so that the drive 1 is centered with respect to the hinge axis 4. Behind the pivot bearing 18 is a likewise attached to the housing 17 angle encoder 19 which is rotatably connected to the hinge axis 4 and serves to position the tailgate 3.

Ferner ist an dem Gehäuse 17 des Hebelgetriebes 9 eine Aufnahme 20 für ein an dem Scharnier 5 befestigtes stangenförmiges Abstützelement 21 vorgesehen, welches zur Winkelabstützung des Antriebes 1 dient.Further, on the housing 17 of the lever mechanism 9, a receptacle 20 for a on the Hinge 5 fixed rod-shaped support member 21 is provided, which serves for the angular support of the drive 1.

Soll die Heckklappe 3 beispielsweise aus der in Fig.1 dargestellten Position nach oben verschwenkt werden, so wird der Elektromotor 7 über eine entsprechende Schaltungsvorrichtung (nicht dargestellt) aktiviert. Die Abtriebswelle 11 des Elektromotors 7 dreht sich dann in Richtung des mit 22 bezeichneten Pfeiles entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn. Der Antriebshebel 10 wird nach unten geschwenkt und nimmt über die Kupplungsstangen 13, 14 den Abtriebshebel 12 mit. Dieser dreht dann auch die Scharnierachse 4 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn. Die Heckklappe öffnet sich bis zu einer vorgegebenen Position, bei welcher der Winkelgeber 19 den Elektromotor 7 direkt oder über die nicht dargestellte Schaltungsvorrichtung abschaltet.If the tailgate 3, for example, from the in Fig.1 shown position to be pivoted upward, the electric motor 7 via a corresponding circuit device (not shown) is activated. The output shaft 11 of the electric motor 7 then rotates counterclockwise in the direction of the arrow labeled 22. The drive lever 10 is pivoted downward and takes over the coupling rods 13, 14 the output lever 12 with. This then also rotates the hinge axis 4 in the counterclockwise direction. The tailgate opens up to a predetermined position, in which the angle sensor 19 switches off the electric motor 7 directly or via the circuit device, not shown.

Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So muß es sich bei dem Getriebe nicht zwingend um ein Hebei- bzw. Kurbelgetriebe handeln, sondern es kann auch beispielsweise ein Zahnradgetriebe verwendet werden.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. So it must not necessarily be a Hebei- or crank gear in the transmission, but it can also be used, for example, a gear transmission.

Ferner können zur Befestigung der Kupplungsstangen 13, 14 an den Hebeln 10, 12 statt Gelenklager z.B. auch Nadellager verwendet werden, wenn nur kleinere Toleranzen zwischen der Abtriebswelle 11 und der Scharnierachse 4 zu berücksichtigen sind.Further, to secure the coupling rods 13, 14 to the levers 10, 12 instead of spherical bearings, e.g. Also needle roller bearings are used when only minor tolerances between the output shaft 11 and the hinge axis 4 are taken into account.

Bei dem Motor kann es sich auch um einen hydraulisch oder pneumatisch angetriebenen Motor handeln.The engine may also be a hydraulically or pneumatically driven engine.

Schließlich kann das Gehäuse 17 auch Teil eines den gesamten Antrieb 1 umfassenden Gehäuses sein.Finally, the housing 17 may also be part of a housing comprising the entire drive 1.
