Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Scharnierbügel und ein Getriebe mit einer mit einem Motor verbindbaren Antriebswelle zum automatischen Verschwenken einer mit dem Scharnierbügel drehfest verbundenen Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe (Heckklappe, Motorhaube etc.), wobei das Getriebe auf den ersten Endbereich eines Antriebshebels wirkt, dessen zweiter Endbereich schwenkbar mit dem Scharnierbügel verbunden ist.The invention relates to a hinge bracket and a transmission with a drive shaft which can be connected to an engine for automatically pivoting a vehicle door or vehicle flap (tailgate, bonnet, etc.) rotatably connected to the hinge bracket, wherein the transmission acts on the first end region of a drive lever whose second end region is pivotable connected to the hinge bracket.

Ein derartiger Scharnierbügel mit Getriebe ist beispielsweise aus der DE 200 04 973 U1 bekannt. Bei diesem bekannten Getriebe handelt es sich um ein Hebelgetriebe, welches einen mit dem Motor drehfest verbundenen ersten Kurbelhebel umfaßt, der über einen gebogenen Verbindungshebel mit einem ebenfalls gebogenen, fest mit der Heckklappe des entsprechenden Kraftfahrzeuges verbundenen Betätigungshebel zusammenwirkt. Der Verbindungshebel ist dabei sowohl mit dem Kurbelhebel als auch mit dem Betätigungshebel gelenkig verbunden.Such a hinge bracket with gear is known for example from DE 200 04 973 U1. In this known transmission is a lever mechanism which comprises a rotatably connected to the engine first crank lever which cooperates via a curved connecting lever with a likewise bent, fixedly connected to the tailgate of the corresponding motor vehicle actuating lever. The connecting lever is hinged to both the crank lever and the operating lever.

Nachteilig ist bei diesem Getriebe vor allem die relativ platzaufwendige Hebelanordnung.The disadvantage of this transmission, especially the relatively space-consuming lever assembly.

Aus der DE 101 17 934 A1 ist ein Kraftfahrzeug mit automatisch verschließbarer Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe bekannt, bei dem zum Verschwenken der Fahrzeugtür ein Elektromotor über ein nachgeschaltetes Planetengetriebe und einen sich daran anschließenden Spindelantrieb auf eine hebelförmige Verlängerung des Scharnierbügels einwirkt.From DE 101 17 934 A1, a motor vehicle with automatically closable vehicle door or vehicle flap is known, in which an electric motor acts on a lever-shaped extension of the hinge bracket for pivoting the vehicle door via a downstream planetary gear and an adjoining spindle drive.

Nachteilig ist auch bei diesem Kraftfahrzeug, daß die gesamte, aus Getriebe und Scharnierbügel bestehende Anordnung sehr platzaufwendig aufgebaut ist.A disadvantage is also in this motor vehicle, that the entire, consisting of gear and hinge bracket arrangement is constructed very space consuming.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Scharnierbügel mit Getriebe der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, welcher eine gegenüber bekannten Antrieben platzsparendere Anordnung von Antrieb und Scharnierbügel erlaubt.The invention has for its object to provide a hinge bracket with gearbox of the type mentioned, which allows a comparison with known drives space-saving arrangement of drive and hinge bracket.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further, particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, als Getriebe ein Planetengetriebe zu verwenden, welches im wesentlichen direkt in den den Scharnierbügel verschwenkenden Antriebshebel integriert ist. Dabei wird die Antriebswelle des Getriebes durch die Trägerachse des Sonnenrades und das Hohlrad des Planetenantriebes durch den entsprechend ausgebildeten ersten Endbereich des Antriebshebels gebildet. Die Trägerachsen der Planetenräder sind in mindestens einem seitlich von dem Antriebshebel angeordneten Trägerteil gelagert, welches mit der Fahrzeugkarosserie oder einem mit dieser verbindbaren Zwischenteil fest verbindbar ist.The invention is based essentially on the idea of using as transmission a planetary gear, which is integrated substantially directly in the hinge bracket pivoting drive lever. In this case, the drive shaft of the transmission is formed by the carrier axis of the sun gear and the ring gear of the planetary drive by the correspondingly formed first end portion of the drive lever. The carrier axes of the planet gears are mounted in at least one laterally arranged by the drive lever carrier part, which is firmly connected to the vehicle body or an intermediate part connectable with this.

Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei dem Getriebe um ein Zahnradgetriebe, so daß das Hohlrad mit einer Innenverzahnung versehen ist, in welche die Verzahnungen der Planetenräder eingreifen.Preferably, in the transmission is a gear transmission, so that the ring gear is provided with an internal toothing, in which engage the teeth of the planetary gears.

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

  • Fig.1 eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Scharnierbügels und eines mit diesem verschwenkbar verbundenen Antriebshebels mit integriertem Planetengetriebe;
  • Fig.2 eine Seitenansicht der in Fig.1 dargestellten Anordnung und
  • Fig.3 eine Ansicht entlang der in Fig.2 mit III-III bezeichneten Schnittlinie ohne Scharnierbügel aber mit einem auf dem Getriebe befindlichen Deckel.
Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following with reference to figures explained embodiment. Show it:
  • 1 is a perspective view of a hinge bracket and a pivotably connected to this drive lever with integrated planetary gear;
  • 2 shows a side view of the arrangement shown in Figure 1 and
  • 3 shows a view along the designated in Figure 2 with III-III cutting line without hinge bracket but with a lid located on the transmission.

In den Fig.1 und 2 ist mit 1 ein Scharnierbügel bezeichnet, dessen erster Endbereich 2 mit der Heckklappe eines nicht dargestellten Kraftfahrzeuges befestigbar ist und dessen zweiter Endbereich 3 um eine Scharnierachse 4 schwenkbar mit einem Lagerbock 5 verbunden ist. Der Lagerbock 5 kann seinerseits z.B. mittels Schraubverbindungen mit dem Dachträger des Kraftfahrzeuges verbunden werden.1 and 2, 1 denotes a hinge bracket, the first end portion 2 of which is fastened to the tailgate of a motor vehicle, not shown, and the second end portion 3 is pivotally connected to a bearing block 5 about a hinge axis 4. The bearing block 5 can in turn be e.g. be connected by means of screw with the roof rack of the motor vehicle.

Zum Verschwenken des Scharnierbügels 1 ist ein Antriebshebel 6 vorgesehen, dessen erster Endbereich 7 mit einem Getriebe 8 und dessen zweiter Endbereich 9 schwenkbar mit dem Scharnierbügel 1 verbunden ist. Hierzu weist der zweite Endbereich 9 des Antriebshebels 6 ein Langloch 10 auf, in welches ein mit dem Scharnierbügel 1 verbundener Zapfen 11 eingreift.For pivoting the hinge bracket 1, a drive lever 6 is provided, the first end portion 7 is connected to a transmission 8 and the second end portion 9 pivotally connected to the hinge bracket 1. For this purpose, the second end portion 9 of the drive lever 6 has a slot 10 into which a pin 11 connected to the hinge bracket 1 engages.

Bei dem Getriebe 8 handelt es sich um ein als Planetengetriebe ausgebildetes Zahnradgetriebe mit einem Sonnenrad 12, vier Planetenrädern 13 und einem mit einer Innenverzahnung 14 versehenen Hohlrad 15. Die Antriebswelle 16 (Fig.3) des Planetengetriebes 8 entspricht der Trägerachse des Sonnenrades 12 und ist mit einem gestrichelt angedeuteten Elektromotor 17 verbunden. Das Hohlrad 15 wird durch den entsprechend ausgebildeten ersten Endbereich 7 des Antriebshebels 6 gebildet.The transmission 8 is a toothed gear formed as a planetary gear with a sun gear 12, four planetary gears 13 and one provided with an internal gear 14 ring gear 15. The drive shaft 16 (Figure 3) of the planetary gear 8 corresponds to the carrier axis of the sun gear 12 and connected to a dashed line indicated electric motor 17. The ring gear 15 is formed by the correspondingly formed first end portion 7 of the drive lever 6.

Wie Fig.3 entnehmbar ist, sind die Trägerachsen 18 der Planetenräder 13 in einer sich seitlich direkt an den Antriebshebel 6 anschließenden Seitenwand 19 eines Gehäuses 20 gelagert, in dem der Elektromotor 17 angeordnet ist und welches ebenfalls mit dem Dachträger oder auch mit dem Lagerbock 5 des entsprechenden Fahrzeuges verbindbar ist.As can be seen in FIG. 3, the carrier axles 18 of the planet wheels 13 are mounted in a side wall 19 of a housing 20 which adjoins the drive lever 6 laterally, in which the electric motor 17 is arranged and which likewise is connected to the roof carrier or also to the bearing block 5 the corresponding vehicle is connectable.

Nachfolgend wird auf die Wirkungsweise der in den Fig.1 bis 3 dargestellten Anordnung eingegangen. Dabei sei angenommen, daß sich die Heckklappe in ihrer geschlossenen Stellung befindet und damit der Scharnierbügel 1 seine untere Stellung einnimmt. Soll die Heckklappe geöffnet werden, so wird der Elektromotor 17 z.B. durch Betätigung eines Handschalters oder eines Schalters an der Instrumententafel aktiviert. Dieser dreht dann über die Antriebswelle 16 das Sonnenrad 12, welches über die Planetenräder 13 das Hohlrad 15 bewegt und somit auch den Antriebshebel 6 nach unten verschwenkt.Subsequently, the operation of the arrangement shown in Figures 1 to 3 will be discussed. It is assumed that the tailgate is in its closed position and thus the hinge bracket 1 assumes its lower position. If the tailgate to be opened, the electric motor 17 is activated, for example, by pressing a manual switch or a switch on the instrument panel. This then rotates via the drive shaft 16, the sun gear 12, which moves the ring gear 15 via the planet gears 13 and thus also pivots the drive lever 6 down.

Der Antriebshebel 6 nimmt den Zapfen 11 des Scharnierbügels 1 mit, der diesen ebenfalls nach unten drückt, so daß der Scharnierbügel 1 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn um die Scharnierachse 4 verschwenkt und die Heckklappe geöffnet wird. Dabei gleitet der Zapfen 11 innerhalb des in dem Antriebshebel 6 vorgesehenen Langloches 10 von der in Fig.1 und 2 dargestellten ersten Endstellung 21 in die mit 22 bezeichnete zweite Endstellung (gestrichelte Darstellung des Zapfens 11 in Fig.1).The drive lever 6 takes the pin 11 of the hinge bracket 1, which also pushes it down, so that the hinge bracket 1 is pivoted counterclockwise about the hinge axis 4 and the tailgate is opened. In this case, the pin 11 slides within the provided in the drive lever 6 elongated hole 10 of the first end position 21 shown in Figures 1 and 2 in the designated 22 second end position (dashed line of the pin 11 in Figure 1).

Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So muß es sich bei dem Getriebe nicht zwingend um ein Zahnradgetriebe handeln, sondern es können insbesondere zum Verschwenken von leichten Klappen (Motordeckel etc.) auch Planetengetriebe mit z.B. gummierten Rollen verwendet werden, bei denen ein ausreichend hoher Reibschluß zwischen den zu bewegenden Rädern des Getriebes besteht.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above. So it must not necessarily be a gear transmission in the transmission, but it can in particular for the pivoting of lightweight flaps (engine cover etc.) and planetary gear with, for. rubberized rollers are used in which there is a sufficiently high frictional engagement between the wheels to be moved of the transmission.

Außerdem muß der Motor nicht direkt mit dem Planetengetriebe verbunden sein, sondern es kann z.B. zur Vermeidung von Überlastfällen zwischen dem Planetengetriebe und dem Motor auch noch ein Auskuppelgetriebe vorgesehen werden.In addition, the engine does not have to be directly connected to the planetary gear, but it can also be provided for avoiding overloads between the planetary gear and the engine also a Auskuppelgetriebe.
