Description

The invention is directed to an actuating device specified in the preamble of claim 1. Art. A so-called "tower", may have a lock cylinder or be designed only as a styling dummy. This tower is normally mounted in the carrier or removed from the carrier only after the attachment of the carrier inside the door from the outside of the door. This is done by a Einrenkbewegung the carrier, which consists of two successive different components of movement. For installation of the tower, a "plug-in phase" of the Einrenkbewegung is first carried out, where the tower is inserted into an opening of the carrier. This is followed by a "Versetzphase" where the inserted tower is parallel offset in the carrier. In this parallel offset in the opening of the carrier moves at least one lateral shoulder on the tower behind a counter-shoulder on the carrier. A locking screw serves to secure the mounting position of the tower in the carrier.

The dismantling of the tower from the carrier runs in the opposite direction. First, the locking screw is released. Then, first, a retrograde Versetzphase the Einrenkbewegung, where the counter-shoulder on the wearer's shoulder at the tower releases. Then a "pull-out" of the Einrenkbewegung can join, where the tower is pulled out of the opening in the carrier.

In an actuator of this type (DE 30 30 519 A1), the tower is held in the carrier only by the shoulder or shoulders. In the case of assembly, the shoulders engage behind the corresponding counter-shoulders in the carrier. The pull-out strength of the assembled tower is unsatisfactory. The threaded receptacle for the locking screw sits in the carrier and locks with its end of the screw required for disassembly of the tower retrograde parallel offset of the tower in the carrier. The pull-out strength of the assembled tower in the carrier is not affected by the safety screw.

In an actuating device of a different type (EP 1 026 351 A1), a U-shaped slide with its U-legs is displaceably guided in lateral guide rails of a carrier. At the two U-legs connecting web a threaded receptacle for a screw is provided, which points with its screw head inside the temple, while the serving for actuating the screw actuating end protrudes laterally from the carrier. This operating end of the screw is accessible through a lateral opening in the rebate of the door. When the adjusting screw is actuated, the screw head abuts against a side wall of the tower inserted in an opening of the carrier and moves the U-shaped slide in the direction of the door rebate when screwing further. In this case, at the web-side end of the two U-legs seated noses drive into corresponding recesses of the tower, whereby a withdrawal of the tower is to be prevented from the Tröger. A Einrenkbewegung for mounting the tower is not provided. The tear resistance of the tower over the clamped between the lugs of the U-slider and the screw head of the screw tower is unsatisfactory.

The invention has for its object to develop an actuator referred to in the preamble of claim 1 species, which is characterized by a greater pull-out strength of the assembled tower in the carrier and wherein both the assembly of the tower in the carrier, as well as the dismantling of the tower of the Actuator is very simple and fast executable. this will achieved by the measures listed in claim 1, which have the following special significance.

The rocker arm pivoted in the carrier has several functions. The first function is to use a control cam provided on it to move a slide guided on the carrier out of its locking position, where at least one blocking surface on the slide engages behind a counter-blocking surface from the tower, into an unlocking position where the slide-side blocking surface releases the opposing surface on the tower. The second function of the rocker arm is to reset the tower in the sense of a declining Einrenkbewegung far enough in the carrier over a pressure surface provided on it until the shoulder provided on the tower releases the counter shoulder on the carrier. Then, namely, one of the mounting effective Einsteckphase the Einrenkbewegung opposing extraction of the tower from the carrier readily possible. The third function of the rocker arm results in the installation of the tower. During the Einsteckphase the tower abuts against the pressure surface and pivots the rocker arm from its initial position in the direction of its end position, which reaches the rocker arm finally after completion of the Versetzphase of the tower in the carrier. Thus, both the installation of the tower in the carrier and the dismantling of the tower from the actuator is very simple and fast executable because that takes place via the rocker arm. The pull-out strength of the tower from the carrier is surprisingly high in the device according to the invention.

By positioning the operating end of the rocker arm on the rear side of the carrier opposite the handle, manipulations for dismantling the tower by unauthorized persons are made more difficult in the apparatus. The rocker arm is arranged for unauthorized persons practically inaccessible inside the door. Only when the door is open, openings are accessible, where about a tool, such as a screwdriver, the rocker arm can be pivoted. The door can only be opened by authorized persons who have a key suitable for the lock cylinder in the tower. The device makes a so equipped Vehicle safe against breakage; Unauthorized persons are denied access to the interior of the vehicle.

In the actuating device according to the invention results, as already mentioned, a high pull-out strength of the tower, because it comes to multiple locks. A first interlock exists between the shoulder (s) on the tower and corresponding counter shoulders on the carrier. A second locking results from a blocking surface or blocking surfaces on the slide and their associated counter locking surfaces on the tower. The direction of movement of the slider from its unlocking the locking and counter locking surfaces in their engaged position in the locking position of the slider is not only in the same direction, but also in the same direction, as the movement of the tower in the carrier in the Versetzphase during the assembly of the Tower in the carrier serving Einrenkbewegung.

The safety screw has the task to secure the locking position of the slider on the carrier. Then there is the fuse case, where the tower remains reliably mounted in the carrier against the highest pull-out forces. In any case, the locking screw does not serve to adjust the slide in the carrier between the unlocking and locking position. As already mentioned, the tilting lever according to the invention is used in the invention for adjusting the slider.

Although the control cam on the rocker arm could also serve to, in the opposite direction, to transfer the slider from its unlocked position back into the locking position, but it is structurally easier to use a spring load, which is effective between the slider and the carrier. This spring load strives to transfer the slider into the locking position. This happens automatically.

The spring load of the slider can also ensure that is pivoted back over the control surfaces of the rocker arm in its final position, where the inserted tower in its eingerenkten mounting position and the slide in his Locking position are located. Conversely, if you manually pivoted back the rocker arm against the spring load and leaves in the initial position then reached, then both the slider in its unlocked position, and the tower in an intermediate phase during its Einrenkbewegung, where the tower only inserted into the carrier or needs to be pulled out of the carrier.

As can be seen from Figs. 1 and 2, the actuating device consists of a carrier 10 with a structurally associated slider 20, a handle 30 and a tower 40. The carrier 10 is fixed inside a door 50 from the inside of the door , which is not shown in detail. On the back 12 in one end region of the carrier 10, the slider 20 is guided longitudinally displaceable, which will be described in more detail. On the front 1 1 of the carrier is an outer lining 51 of the door 50. For mounting the handle 30 and the tower 40, the door outer panel 51 is provided with two openings 52, 53.

The handle 30 is inserted from the outside of the door 50 through the openings 52, 53 in the carrier 10. For this purpose, the handle has at its one end a bearing end 31, which is performed by the one opening 52 and suspended in a bearing block not shown in detail in the carrier 10. The handle 30 in the exemplary embodiment is a pull handle, which can be transferred in its actuation position 30.2 shown in phantom by the arrow 34 in Fig. 4 from a drawn there and drawn in Fig. 1 drawn rest position 30.1. At the other end of the handle sits a bow-shaped arm 32, to whose arm end is a driver 33 is located. The arm 32 with the driver 33 is inserted through the aforementioned second opening 53 in the door outer panel 51. In the mounting position of Fig. 1 to 4, the driver 33 engages behind a not shown in detail initial link of a linkage that leads to a castle. The lock is built into the door 50 and can be opened by the described operation 34 of the handle 30 when the lock is in an unlocked state. However, the lock can not be opened by the handle 30 when the lock is in its locked position. The reversal of the lock between the backup and Entsicherungsstellung done by a key operation of a lock cylinder and / or by a central locking device in the vehicle.

Such a lock cylinder 44 may be installed in the tower 40 and, as illustrated in FIG. 10, be accessible on the outside of the door in the head area 45. The lock cylinder 44 is enclosed by a cylinder housing 46, from which, as FIG. 2 shows, a flexible shaft 47 protrudes. The shaft 47 is connected to the output end of the lock cylinder and is rotated in the aforementioned key operation by a lock cylinder 44 associated key. The shaft 47 acts on the already mentioned lock in the door 50. By key operation, the lock is selectively adjusted between a secured and an unlocked position.

In the carrier a best seen in FIGS. 3 and 4 recognizable U-shaped tilt bracket 23 is mounted, sitting both arms leg 24 on a common pivot axis 25 in the carrier 10. Between the two stirrup legs 24 there is an opening 15 in the carrier 10, which is used for mounting the tower 40 to be described in more detail below. Between the two stirrup legs 24 of the U-shaped stirrup 23 extends a bridge. 1 to 5, the tilting bar 23 is in an illustrated by the auxiliary lines 23.1 in Fig. 4 starting position, where a arranged in the region of the web between pressure surface 26, as shown in FIG. 3, the carrier opening 15 partially closes. As can be seen from FIG. 4, at least one of the two bar arms 24 has a control cam 27 in the axis region 25, the circumferential profile of which forms a defined control curve 28. This control cam 28 is a control counter surface 29 assigned to the slide 20. The control cam 28 and the counter-control surface 29 act together non-positively. It would be possible to arrange a spring load between the support 10 and the slider 20, which is not provided in this embodiment of the invention, but could act on the slider 20 as an elastic force in an alternative embodiment in the direction of the arrow 16 of FIG.

When the tilting bar 23 is in its starting position 23.1 apparent from FIGS. 1 to 5, the slider 20 is held in a first of two positions, which, for reasons which will be more apparent, can be referred to as the "unlocking position". This is illustrated by the auxiliary line 20.1 in FIGS. 3 and 4. As is apparent from Fig. 3, the slider 20 has a cutout 22, which, seen in plan view, gives it a U-shape. This cutout 22 coincides at least in regions with the aforementioned opening 15 in the carrier 10. The slider 20 has at the two inner edges of its section 22 special locking surface 21, which lie in the unlocked position 20.1 outside the carrier opening 15. This allows a mounting of the tower 40 in the carrier 10th

The installation of the tower 40 in the carrier is shown with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8 in chronological order. The assembly takes place via a Einrenkbewegung 60, which, as evidenced by the arrows in Fig. 5 in two movement components 61, 62 divided. The first movement component is a "insertion phase" illustrated by the arrow 61 in FIG. 5, in which the tower is inserted from the outside of the door with its shaft 47 and housing 46 into the support opening 15. Then follows the "displacement phase" illustrated by the arrow 62 in FIG. 5, where the tower 40 fully inserted, except for its tower head 45, is displaced along the support substantially parallel to itself.

During the insertion phase 61 already abuts the end of the shaft 47 against the aforementioned pressure surface 26 of the tilting bracket 23. This has the consequence that the tilting bracket 23 begins to pivot from its starting position 23.1 of Fig. 3 in different intermediate layers 23.2 and 23.3, such as which can be seen successively in FIGS. 6 and 7. The intermediate layer 23.2 of FIG. 6 still has the shaft 47 causes, while the intermediate layer 23.3 of Fig. 7 has already been caused by the retraction of the cylinder housing 46, which pushes the pressure surface 26 of the tilt bracket 23. In Fig. 7, practically the insertion phase 61 is completed. It may begin the offset phase 62 in FIG.

As can be seen from Fig. 2 and particularly well from Fig. 5, the tower 40 has on both sides of its cylinder housing 46, two radial projections 42, which are each provided with a transverse incision. This is illustrated by dot hatching in the drawings. The insertion direction 61 opposite incision edge forms a shoulder 43, which best shows in Fig. 5. This shoulder 43 is, as shown in FIG. 5, also associated with a point-hatched highlighted nose 14 in the carrier 10, which has a likewise the insertion direction 61 opposite counter-shoulder 13. After completion of Einsteckphase shown in FIG. 7, the nose 14 of the carrier 10 is practically aligned with the incision of the projection 40.

Now, if the already mentioned Versetzphase 62 takes place, the nose 14 moves into the notch of the radial projection 42 a. It is understood that because of the double radial projections 42, two mutually mirror-inverted lugs 14 are provided in the carrier, which is particularly apparent from Fig. 3. In the engagement position, which is then in FIGS. 8 to 10, but there is not closer to recognize, the two lugs 14 with the incisions of the two radial projections 42 are engaged. As a result, the shoulder 43 engages from the tower 20 behind the counter-shoulder 13 from the carrier 10th

If unauthorized persons who do not have the key want to get into the vehicle interior and therefore have to break open the door 50, it is first necessary to release a door lock located in its securing position. The unauthorized persons could forcibly gain access to the door lock, namely by axial tearing of the tower 40 according to the illustrated in Fig. 8 and 10 force arrow 63. The counteracts the rear grip between the aforementioned tower shoulder 43 on the carrier counter-shoulder 13 , The pull-out force 63 is transmitted via the shoulder 43 and counter-shoulder 13 on the carrier 10 and there from the door added. This rear grip at 43, 13 is supported by the following further rear grip.

As already mentioned in connection with Fig. 3, the slider 20 is provided with two mutually facing locking surfaces 21, which in the already described unlocking position 20.1 from the slider 20, which is present in Fig. 1 to 7, still at a radial distance to einzusteckenden Tower 40 are located. As can be seen in FIG. 5, these slide blocking surfaces 21 are assigned two mating surfaces 41 on the tower. These tower locking surfaces 21 are formed by two recesses 48 on opposite sides of the cylinder housing, which are highlighted by dot hatching in the figures. If, as has been described, during the insertion phase 61 of the tilt bracket 23 leaves its starting position 23.1, the control cam 28 of its control cam 27 moves away from the counter-control surface 29 of the slider 20. Then, the slider 20 can leave its previous unlocking position 20.1 and in the direction his other from Fig. 8 to 10 recognizable other positions 20.2 to approach, which indicates a "locking position" of the slider 20. This displacement of the slider 20 can be done either manually or automatically by means of the already mentioned in connection with FIG. 4 spring force 16. The illustrated by the movement arrow 35 in Fig. 4 pivotal movement of the rocker arm 23, the slider 20 can follow successively.

In the displacement phase 62 of the tower 40 described in connection with FIG. 7, the tilting bar 23 finally reaches the end position 23.4 indicated in phantom in FIG. 4 and shown concretely in FIG. 10. As shown in FIG. 10, the carriage 30 has remained in contact with the control cam 28 of the tilting bow control cam 27 and is retracted at the end of the control cam 28 with its control counter surface in a recognizable from Fig. 4 notch 64 of the control cam 27 and locked in it. It is crucial that the said two locking surfaces 21 are driven by the slider 20 behind the counter-locking surfaces 41 on the tower 40 and therefore contribute significantly to the locking of the tower in the carrier 10. The latter can be seen particularly well from FIG. 9.

In the final mounting position according to FIGS. 8 to 10, the tower 40 is optimally held in the carrier 10. There is a double engagement, namely both between the two last-mentioned slide blocking surfaces 21 and tower counter-blocking surfaces 41, as well as between the aforementioned two tower shoulders 43 and carrier counter-shoulders 13. In addition, as already mentioned , the slide 20 of the carrier back 12 rests and slides on it. The whole carrier material reinforces the slide resting on the rear against the pull-out forces 63.

As can be seen particularly well from Fig. 4, the slider 20 is therefore reliably positioned on the carrier back 12, because it is connected by holding means 36 to 39 with the carrier 10. To this holding means include tabs 36, 37 on the carrier, which engage in corresponding openings of the carrier 10 and there are secured by bolts 38, 39 in position. The bolts 38, 39 engage in longitudinal guides of these tabs 36, 37 a. The bolts 38, 39 are stationarily positioned in the carrier. Because of this longitudinal guide, the illustrated by the arrow 49 in Fig. 4 displacement from the slider 20 between its two positions 20.1 and 20.2 is possible.

The locking position 20.2 according to FIGS. 8 to 10 is finally secured by a locking screw 17 which is particularly well visible in FIG. 7. In the present case, the screw shaft 19 is located in a hole 55 of the carrier, while its head-shaped operating end is accessible from the back 12 of the carrier. As long as the unlocking 20.1 of Fig. 7 is present, a lug 56 engages the slider 20 via the screw actuating end 18 and prevents a screw connection. For the screw end 54, a threaded receptacle 57 is provided in the tower head 45, but before the end of the Versetzphase 62, as Fig. 7 illustrates, relative to the screw end 54 is still offset.

However, when the full mounting position of the tower 40 as shown in FIG. 10 is present, ie the Versetzphase 62 has been completed, then the screw end 54 is aligned with the threaded bore 57. Because then also the slider 20 in his Locking position 20.2 is located, also the slide-lug 56 of Fig. 7 has the screw-actuating end 18 is released, which is not apparent in Fig. 10. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the screw end 54 can be screwed into the threaded receptacle 57 of the tower head 56. This screw engagement also serves to increase the security against outliers 63 acting on the mounted tower 40.

The dismantling of the tower 40 by authorized persons can be carried out quickly and conveniently. The disassembly runs in the opposite direction to the above-described installation. First, the locking screw 17 must be solved. Because, as has already been said, the operating end 18 is accessible only from the back 12 of the carrier, the lock cylinder 44 must be operated by means of the key in the possession of the authorized person to unlock the door lock. Then, the handle 30 can be operated in the direction of the arrow 34 of Fig. 4, whereby the door is opened. From the inside of the door then the operating end 18 of the locking screw 17 is accessible.

If the locking screw 17 has released the tower head 35, then a retrograde Einrenkbewegung 60 'of FIG. 10 can be performed. This movement 60 'is initiated by a manual pivoting back of the tilting bracket 23 in the sense of pivoting arrow designated 35' in Fig. 10. Because of the aforementioned locking of the control counter surface 29 of the slider 20 in the notch 64 of the control cam 27, it requires a certain force. In the further implementation of the pivoting back 35 ', the tilting bar firstly reaches the intermediate layer 23.3 recognizable from FIG. 7, in which the pressure surface 26 recognizable there encounters the cylinder housing 46 in the course of the declining displacement phase 62' explained with reference to FIG. As a result, the tower 40 is pushed far enough away from the carrier lugs 14 until the two counter shoulders 13 there release the tower shoulders 43 described above. At the same time, the control cam 47 has the slider 20 pushed back so far from the locking position 20.2 of Fig. 10 in the direction of the unlocking 20.1 that the slide locking surfaces 21 have the associated counter-locking surfaces 41 released in the tower 40. Now can the tower 40 performs the withdrawal phase of the receding turn 60 'illustrated at 61' in FIG.

By further pivoting of the rocker arm 23, the control surface 28 slides from the control cam 27 along the counter-control surface 29 of the slider 20 along and pushes it back to the full unlocking position 20.1 of FIG. This is achieved when the rocker arm 23 has reached the dot-dash line in FIG. 9 clarified starting position 23.1 at its return pivot 35 '. Then again the conditions according to FIG. 5 are present; the tower 40 is dismantled from the fixed support.
