Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closing aid for closing a door provided with a door lock vehicle door, hood, trunk lid, tailgate.
  • Such a closing aid is for example from the DE 199 21 517 C2 known.
  • the closing aid comprises a bolt-shaped or bow-shaped closing element, which is movable on the one hand by means of a drive motor from a Ent- in a locking position and which on the other hand in the unlocked position by a door lock associated pivotable fork bolt is gripped around, so that the closing element in its movement in the locking position via the fork bolt pulls the vehicle door (against the force of the deforming door seal) in its closed position.
  • the transmission of the drive device has a driven gear and a downstream of this cam with an eccentric to the axis of rotation arranged actuating cam, which acts via a lever linkage on a pivoting support plate carrying the closing element.
  • the Applicant has already proposed in a parallel patent application that the actuating cam of the cam wheel engages directly in the support plate of the closing element and causes its displacement.
  • the cam and the cam wheel upstream driven wheel of the drive means are connected to each other via a switchable locking body coupling comprising a plurality of spring-loaded detent balls, which laterally positively in corresponding, evenly distributed over the circumference arranged recesses of the driven gear are mounted and pressed by a compression spring assembly against recessed wall portions of the cam wheel.
  • the detent balls are pushed out of the recessed wall portions of the cam wheel, and the cam wheel is rotatable relative to the driven wheel until the vehicle door is closed.
  • the SperrSystemkupplung causes a terminal protection. Because the Zuziehablauf this closing aid is hindered because in the gap between the vehicle door and the vehicle body is an object, the clutch causes the cam and thus the support plate remain with striker and the driven wheel continues to rotate with respect to the cam to its starting position. There, a touch switch generates a corresponding signal, which is evaluated by an electronic control unit, which in turn switches off the drive motor.
  • the contact pressure of the detent balls in the recessed wall portions of the cam wheel pressing spring must be chosen such that the closing aid closes the respective vehicle door against the pressure of the door seals safely, without causing a disengagement of the cam wheel is to be feared, the contact pressure in the order of magnitude from 800 to 1000 N. Therefore, at the beginning of closing, if it is inadvertently received e.g. a hand of the vehicle door closing person in the gap between the vehicle door and the vehicle body, so act first significant forces on the hand before the clutch disengages and shuts off the closing aid. This can lead to serious injuries of the hand.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object at a closing aid with locking body coupling between the output gear and the cam wheel to improve the terminal protection, without thereby affecting the closing function of the closing aid.
  • the invention is based essentially on the idea to apply the detent balls by means of a compression spring arrangement whose stiffness increases when closing the vehicle door by means of the closing aid, ie to use a compression spring arrangement having a progressive spring characteristic.
  • the Sch concentratedwegpacke change in the stiffness of the compression spring assembly can be realized in that the compression spring assembly with progressive spring characteristic on its side facing away from the locking balls on a rotatably mounted in the closing aid, but axially displaceable thrust washer is supported, wherein the thrust washer of a non-rotatably connected to the driven wheel cam when turning the output gear from the Ent- is moved to the locked position.
  • the compression spring arrangement consists of at least a two-stage stratified disk spring assembly, so that the progressive spring characteristic of the compression spring assembly is approximated by at least two rectilinear spring characteristic ranges.
  • the first of the detent balls facing stage of the plate spring assembly of a single plate spring high rigidity and the second of the pressure plate facing stage of the plate spring assembly consist of two roof-shaped abutting disc springs lower rigidity.
  • control disk comprises on its pressure plate facing the end face at least two evenly distributed over the circumference arranged control cam with wedge-shaped control surface, which are supported on corresponding wedge-shaped projections of the thrust washer.
  • closing aid 1 shows an embodiment of a closing aid according to the invention for closing the tailgate of a motor vehicle, not shown, and 2 denotes a dashed line indicated electronic control unit.
  • the closing aid 1 is doing at the rear Body of the vehicle mounted in the region of the tailgate opening, which is opposite to the door lock of the tailgate.
  • the closing aid 1 comprises a drive device 3 with a drive motor 4 and a gear 5 downstream of the engine with a driven gear 6 rotatable about a rotation axis 6.
  • the output gear 6 is connected via a blocking body clutch 7 ( Figure 2) with a cam 8, which also at the rotation axis 9 is rotatably arranged and carries an eccentrically arranged to the rotation axis 9 actuating cam 10.
  • the blocking body clutch 7 comprises a plurality of spring-loaded detent balls 11, e.g.
  • the cam wheel 8 is formed on its side facing away from the actuating cam 10 as a pivot bearing for the output gear 6, whereby a particularly compact construction of the closing aid 1 is achieved.
  • the actuating cam 10 of the cam wheel 8 engages in a recess 15 of a support plate 16, to which a lock element 17 designed as a closing element is attached.
  • the closing aid 1 contains two contact switches 18, 19 (FIG. 1) serving as sensors, which are connected to the electronic control unit 2 via electrical lines and in each case generate a signal when the actuating cam 10 of the cam wheel 8 has reached the locking or unlocking position ,
  • a corresponding, over a portion of the circumference extending longitudinal cam 20 is provided on the output gear 6 of the drive device 3, which is contacted by the respective touch switch 18, 19.
  • the closing aid 1 further comprises a pivotally mounted, acted upon by a torsion spring 21 locking lever 22, on which the support plate 16 is supported in the locked position of the closing aid 1 to relieve the drive means 3.
  • a torsion spring 21 locking lever 22 acted upon by a torsion spring 21 locking lever 22, on which the support plate 16 is supported in the locked position of the closing aid 1 to relieve the drive means 3.
  • the position of the locking lever 22 by means of a connected to the electronic control unit 2 touch switch 23 monitored.
  • the compression spring assembly 13 consists of a two-stage disc spring assembly, each stage has a linear spring characteristic region 100, 101 has ( Figure 7).
  • the first stage 24 facing the detent balls 11 consists of a single plate spring 26 of high rigidity (corresponding to the spring characteristic area 101 in FIG. 7).
  • the second stage 25 consists of two roof-shaped contiguous disc springs 26, 27 substantially lower rigidity (corresponds to the spring characteristic area 100 in Figure 7). This second stage 25 is supported on its side facing away from the first stage 24 from a rotatably mounted in the housing of the closing aid pressure plate 28 from which is rotatably disposed in the direction of the axis of rotation 9 by a rotatably connected to the output gear 6 control disk 29.
  • the control disk 29 has on its the thrust washer 28 facing end face, evenly distributed over the circumference three provided with wedge-shaped control surfaces 30 control cam 31 ( Figure 3), in which after rotation of the driven gear 6 by a predetermined angle corresponding wedge-shaped projections 32 of the thrust washer 28 (Fig.4) support.
  • the operation of the closing aid 1 will be described. It is assumed that the arrangement shown in Figures 1 to 4, in which the striker 17 is in the unlocked position.
  • the tailgate of the vehicle not shown, is based on the rear-side body, and the door lock is in its pre-locking position, in which the fork bolt of the door lock comprises the striker 17 and is secured by a pawl. Simultaneously with the securing of the forked catch by the pawl is achieved via a e.g. located in the door lock microswitch the drive motor 4 of the closing aid 1 via the electronic control unit 2 is activated and the cam 8 rotates from the position shown in Figure 1 in a clockwise direction.
  • the striker 17 is attracted against the pressure of the tailgate seal to the vehicle and thus begins to draw the tailgate.
  • the control cam 31 of the control disk 29 reach the projections 32 of the pressure plate 28.
  • the pressure plate 28 is pressed against the plate springs 26, 27.
  • the spring travel of these disc springs 26, 27 is compressed to "block” by the pressure plate 28 ( Figures 5 and 6).
  • the plate spring 24 is supported via the spring block directly against the pressure plate 28, so that the contact pressure of the plate spring 24 on the detent balls 11 in the order between 600-800 N is effective (the compression spring assembly 13 is located in Fig.7 in the Spring characteristic range 101).
  • the drive motor 4 is again activated by the electronic control unit 2, for example, by operating a tailgate handle and rotates the cam 8 counterclockwise back to its original position.
  • the locking lever 22 is pushed back and pushed the support plate 16 of the striker 17 by the actuating cam 10 of the cam 8 again in its open position.
  • the drive motor 4 is turned off and the door lock can then be opened, for example by pressing a handle or a lock cylinder.
  • the tailgate can also be closed manually, for example in the event of a power failure, so that the striker 17 is manually pressed from the unlocked position into the locking position.
  • the tailgate is pushed with a minimum force to the vehicle.
  • the detent balls 11 of the clutch 7 are pressed against the compression spring assembly 13, so that the cam 8 is rotated with the striker 17 relative to the driven gear 6, without the drive means 3 is damaged.
  • the closing force only needs to be as large as the contact pressure of the two disc springs 26, 27 of the compression spring assembly thirteenth
