Definitions

  • the invention relates to an intake brake for a boot lid of a motor vehicle, by means of which the opening movement of the trunk lid can be braked and the latter can be prevented from springing back.
  • the invention also relates to a trunk lid opening device of a motor vehicle, preferably an automatic trunk lid opening device, which has such an inlet brake for braking and retaining the trunk lid in its open position.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 Such a known inlet brake of a boot lid is shown in simplified form in a plan view in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the side brake cheeks 5 of the intake brake 1 are designed for this purpose with a protruding clamping section such that the hinge tube 3 of the boot lid is first braked and held in its end position, shown in FIG. 2, by the protruding sections.
  • the lateral brake cheeks 5 of this run-in brake are connected to one another via a connecting web ⁇ which has fastening means, such as a fastening screw 2.
  • the connecting web 6 is provided with protruding knobs 7, which are intended to prevent spring-back of the hinge bracket tube 3 and thus of the trunk lid of the motor vehicle. However, it has been shown that, despite the knobs 7, the rear lid springs back.
  • this type of boot lid intake brake 1 has proven to be disadvantageous in that the protruding sections of the side brake cheeks 5 are exposed to high wear and tear and the intake brake 1 is relatively quickly impaired in its function and effectiveness due to its material abrasion.
  • the function of the brake is greatly affected by the ambient temperature. When it is warm the boot lid is not held back, when it is cold it hits the outside of the brake.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing an intake brake for a boot lid of a motor vehicle and a trunk lid opening device with such an inlet brake, which effectively prevent the opening movement from being slowed down and likewise prevent the boot lid from springing back, and this with constant reliability and effectiveness over a long period of time and a wider temperature range.
  • the intake brake which consists of a substantially U-shaped receptacle in which a tubular hinge bracket can be clamped and thereby braked, has lateral brake cheeks which form a continuous taper in the direction of the opening movement.
  • the tapering of the receiving area between the two brake cheeks thus formed is thus also constant.
  • a substantially V-shaped clamping gap for the tube of a hinge bracket of a boot lid is provided. Due to the continuous taper, the clamping force, which is generated by the lateral brake cheeks, is steadily increased as the tube of the hinge bracket penetrates into the intake brake. The braking of the opening movement is therefore also continuous.
  • the increasing clamping force also results in an increasing retention force on the hinge bracket without protruding retention sections or barb-like elements having to be provided.
  • the continuously increasing clamping force on the holding tube of the hinge bracket also has the effect that spring-back of the boot lid due to an impact on an end section in the intake brake is effectively avoided.
  • the lateral brake cheeks are thus preferably matched to the hinge bracket of the boot lid in terms of their spacing from one another and in the taper or taper in the direction of the open position in such a way that an impact on the end face or a recoil effect is prevented.
  • the brake cheeks are elastically resilient to one another. Elastic suspension can be implemented either through the choice of material for the connecting web of the intake brake or through the choice of material and shape of the brake cheeks themselves.
  • the resilient effect results in an increased clamping force and retention force, so that the tube of the hinge bracket and thus the boot lid itself is held in the intake brake even if the cover swings open intentionally or unintentionally.
  • the resilient design of the brake cheeks to each other also allows the increase in the clamping effect to be adjusted and thus a more or less strong design of the braking effect (more or less abruptly).
  • the brake cheeks are designed such that a continuously tapering clamping receptacle is formed, into which the hinge bracket can enter without hitting the end face. Springback is avoided safely and effectively.
  • the lateral brake cheeks of the intake brake are connected to one another with an elastically deformable connecting web which has a fastening means.
  • the infeed brake can thus be easily attached to the vehicle on the body side.
  • the deformable connecting web can generate additional clamping forces between the brake cheeks.
  • the brake cheeks are formed from a hard plastic material that is resistant to abrasion. This prevents premature wear and thus a functional impairment of the intake brake. It has been shown that protruding sections, as were known in the prior art for inlet brakes, are relatively quick became unusable due to abrasion when using plastic materials.
  • a thermoplastic material for the brake jaws of the intake brake is selected, for example, a polyoxymethylene (POM), which the surface is characterized by good moldability and a high abrasion resistance and lubricity '.
  • POM polyoxymethylene
  • the inlet brake is formed from a multi-component plastic part, the connecting web being formed from a softer plastic than the lateral brake cheeks. More preferably, the side brake cheeks are formed from a relatively hard core of a plastic material, which is encapsulated with a plastic material that is softer for this purpose. In this way, the properties of high abrasion resistance and clamping force can be combined with an additional braking effect due to a soft and therefore braking material.
  • the boot lid opening device with an inlet brake for braking and retaining the boot lid in an open position is characterized in that the inlet brake has lateral cheeks with a continuous taper between them.
  • a continuous taper in the sense of a continuously narrowing or tapering receptacle in the direction of the open position has the advantage that, in particular, a cylindrical holding tube of a hinge bracket is increasingly clamped between the brake cheeks when it reaches or approaches the open position and is effectively held against springback.
  • the trunk lid opening device is an automatic opening device.
  • a trunk lid is conventionally springs used jumps up and does not remain in its open position, that is, its end position.
  • the boot lid can bump and spring back at its end stop and only settles in a stable position after a few spring movements.
  • the trunk lid opening device according to the invention ensures that a stable end position in the open position is reached immediately and without delay.
  • an infeed brake of a motor vehicle boot lid according to the prior art, each in a top view in a position before reaching the open position and in its open position itself;
  • Figure 3 is a schematic plan view of an embodiment according to the invention with a cylindrical bracket of the boot lid in its open position;
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 of an embodiment of an inlet brake of the invention with indicated increase in clamping force;
  • Figure 5 is a schematic oblique view of a second embodiment of an intake brake for a motor vehicle trunk lid, consisting of a multi-component part.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 each show different positions of a holding bracket 3 when entering a running-in brake 1 according to the prior art.
  • inlet brake 1 has sections projecting inwards into the receptacle 4 and at the front end of the receptacle 4 on the connecting web 6 each have two knobs 7, by means of which springback was attempted to be prevented ,
  • the knobs 7 produce a strong springback of the boot lid and are therefore ineffective.
  • it has been found in these known inlet brakes that high abrasion of the projecting sections of the brake cheeks 5 leads to premature failure of the inlet brake 1 overall.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 a first embodiment of an inlet brake 1 for a boot lid of a motor vehicle is shown schematically in respective top views.
  • a cylindrical holding tube 3 of a hinge lever of a (not shown) trunk lid of a motor vehicle is braked between side cheeks 5 as it enters the receptacle 4.
  • the sloping inside of the brake cheeks 5 forms an increasing narrowing or taper in the direction of the end position, that is to say the open position of the boot lid, so that, as indicated by force arrows in FIG. 4, an increasing clamping force is exerted on the holding tube 3.
  • the clamping force gently brakes the opening movement of the boot lid, and on the other hand, due to the clamping, springback or unintentional sliding out is avoided, so that a stable opening position of the boot lid is provided becomes.
  • the shape of the inlet brake 1 is extremely simple, which has manufacturing advantages.
  • the continuous taper also has the advantage that failure of the intake brake due to premature wear of material on the brake cheeks 5 is avoided.
  • the function of the brake is also guaranteed in the event of widely varying temperatures.
  • FIG. 5 another embodiment of an intake brake according to the invention is shown schematically in an oblique plan view.
  • the inlet brake 1 is produced as a multi-component plastic part, preferably as an injection molded part.
  • the connecting web 6 is made of a softer plastic material, such as a thermoplastic such as POM or the like.
  • the brake cheeks 5 are formed from a hard core, for example from a thermosetting plastic, which is encapsulated by a softer plastic that is nevertheless resistant to abrasion, such as a polyoxymethylene (POM).
  • a polyoxymethylene POM
