Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transmission with a drive shaft that can be connected to a motor for automatically pivoting a vehicle door or vehicle flap (tailgate, bonnet, etc.) connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a hinge arm about a hinge axis.
  • a vehicle door or vehicle flap tailgate, bonnet, etc.
  • a motor vehicle with an automatically lockable vehicle door or vehicle flap (hereinafter also referred to collectively as the vehicle door) is known, in which e.g. the vehicle door can be closed or opened by corresponding actuation of a switch provided in the instrument panel.
  • 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 in turn acts via a downstream planetary gear on a lever-shaped extension of the coulter bar and pivots or shifts the vehicle door.
  • a disadvantage of this truck is, among other things, that the hinge bracket must be provided with an additional lever-shaped part.
  • the drive is relatively space-consuming.
  • the part of the drive that is connected to the hinge bracket is often visible to a third party if the lever-shaped extension of the hinge bracket is not within the headlining of the corresponding motor vehicle during its entire pivoting path for opening the tailgate, etc.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a transmission of the type mentioned, which allows a space-saving arrangement of the drive and hinge bracket compared to known drives.
  • the invention is essentially based on the idea of integrating the planetary gear into the hinge bracket.
  • the drive shaft of the transmission is formed by the carrier axis of the sun gear and the ring gear by the hinge bracket end of the hinge bracket.
  • the carrier axes of the planet gears are mounted in at least one carrier part arranged laterally of the coulter bar, which can be firmly connected to the vehicle body or to an intermediate part connected to it.
  • the transmission is preferably a gear transmission, so that the ring gear is provided with an internal toothing in which the toothing of the planet gears engage.
  • the bearing block can be fork-shaped on its side facing the hinge bracket, so that the two ends of the carrier axis of the respective planet gear are mounted in the fork-shaped side parts and the coulter bar can be pivoted between the fork-shaped side parts.
  • Fig.l the longitudinal section through a hinge bracket arranged on the tailgate of a vehicle with an integrated planetary gear and 2 shows a cross section through the arrangement shown in Fig.l along the section line designated there with II-II.
  • Fig.l 1 denotes the rear area of a motor vehicle on the roof rack side and 2 denotes a tailgate (trunk lid), which is in its closed position.
  • the tailgate 2 is pivotally connected to the motor vehicle via a hinge bracket 3.
  • the hinge bracket 3 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner on its side facing the tailgate 2 and is designed to be pivotable about the hinge axis 4 on its side facing the hinge axis 4 via a planetary gear 5.
  • the hinge axis 4 is formed by the carrier axis 6 of the sun gear 7 (Fig. 2), which e.g. is connected to an electric motor, not shown.
  • the toothing 8 of the sun gear 7 engage the teeth 9 of four planet gears 10, which in turn engage in the internal teeth 11 of a ring gear 12.
  • This ring gear 12 with internal toothing 11 simultaneously forms the end region of the hinge arm 3 facing the hinge axis 4.
  • the hinge ball 3 is pivotably arranged on its side facing the hinge axis 4 on a bearing block 13 fastened to the roof rack on the motor vehicle 1.
  • the bearing block 13 has two fork-shaped side parts 14, 15 on the front, between which the corresponding end of the hinge bracket 3 is located and in which the two ends 16, 17 of the carrier axis 18 of the respective planet gear 10 are mounted.
  • the electric motor (not shown) is activated. This rotates the sun gear 7 via the carrier axis 6, which moves the ring gear 12 via the planet gears 10 and thus also pivots the hinge bracket 3 upward in the direction of arrow 19.
  • a sensor (not shown) switches the electric motor off via a control device. The tailgate can be closed in the reverse order.
  • gearbox need not necessarily be a gearwheel gearbox, but planetary gearboxes with, for example, rubberized rollers can also be used, in particular for pivoting light flaps (engine covers, etc.), in which there is a sufficiently high frictional connection between the wheels of the gearbox to be moved consists.
  • the bearing block does not necessarily have to have two fork-shaped side parts. Rather, with appropriate dimensioning of the bearing block and the individual support axes, it may be sufficient if these axes are only supported on one side wall of the bearing block.
  • Carrier axis (sun gear), drive shaft
