Description

Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss Motor vehicle door lock
Beschreibung:Description:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss, mit einem Gesperre sowie einem Grundgehäuse, wobei das Gesperre gegebenenfalls in Verbindung mit weiteren Schlossbestandteilen in dem Grundgehäuse aufgenommen wird und zusammen mit diesem ein Grundmodul bildet. Das heißt, das Ge- sperre, gegebenenfalls die weiteren Schlossbestandteile und das Grundgehäuse bilden zusammengenommen das Grundmodul .The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, with a locking mechanism and a basic housing, the locking mechanism possibly being received in connection with other lock components in the basic housing and forming a basic module together with the latter. This means that the locking mechanism, possibly the further lock components and the basic housing together form the basic module.
Bei den weiteren Schlossbestandteilen mag es sich um Betätigungshebel, Verriegelungshebel usw. handeln. In der Regel sind wenigstens ein Betätigungshebel und ein Auslösehebel realisiert, die ermöglichen, dass das Gesperre geöffnet werden kann.The other lock components may be actuating levers, locking levers, etc. As a rule, at least one actuation lever and one release lever are implemented, which enable the locking mechanism to be opened.
Ein solcher Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss wird beispielhaft im Rahmen der US-PS 6 059 328 verfolgt. Hier ist ansatzweise bereits ein modularer Aufbau realisiert, in dem verschiedene Gehäusebestandteile die einzelnen Bauelemente aufnehmen.Such a motor vehicle door lock is followed, for example, in the context of US Pat. No. 6,059,328. A modular structure is already being implemented here, in which various housing components accommodate the individual components.
Derartige Kraftfahrzeugtürverschlüsse haben sich bewährt, stoßen jedoch dann an ihre Grenzen, wenn auf ein und dasselbe Ausführungskonzept zurückgegriffen werden soll, wobei gleichzeitig die Möglichkeit zum motorischen Öffnen des Ge- sperres besteht. Hier setzt die Erfindung ein. Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, einen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss der eingangs beschriebenen Ausgestaltung so weiter zu entwickeln, dass dieser unter Beibehaltung der Grundkonzeption einfach zum motorischen Öff- nen des Gesperres aufgerüstet werden kann.Motor vehicle door locks of this type have proven themselves, but they reach their limits when the same design concept is to be used, with the possibility at the same time of opening the lock by motor. This is where the invention comes in. The invention is based on the technical problem of further developing a motor vehicle door lock of the configuration described at the outset in such a way that it can be easily upgraded for motorized opening of the locking mechanism while maintaining the basic concept.
Zur Lösung dieser technischen Problemstellung ist ein gattungsgemäßer Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss im Rahmen der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Grundmodul mit dem Grundgehäuse und dem darin aufgenommenen Gesperre sowie den weiteren Schlossbestandteilen zur Aufnahme eines Ergänzungsmoduls mit einem Antrieb zum Öffnen des Gesperres eingerichtet ist. Das heißt, das Ergänzungsmodul verfügt über den gewünschten Antrieb, welcher das motorische Öffnen des Gesperres gewährleistet . Ergänzungsmodul und Grundmodul lassen sich problemlos miteinander vereinigen.To solve this technical problem, a generic motor vehicle door lock within the scope of the invention is characterized in that the basic module with the basic housing and the locking mechanism accommodated therein, as well as the further lock components, is designed to accommodate an additional module with a drive for opening the locking mechanism. This means that the add-on module has the desired drive, which ensures the motorized opening of the locking mechanism. Supplementary module and basic module can be easily combined.
Dabei mag das Ergänzungsmodul wenigstens einen Elektromotor und ein nachgeschaltetes Getriebe in einem Ergänzungs- gehäuse aufweisen. Hierbei geht die Erfindung von der Erkenntnis aus, dass ein solcher Elektromotor meistens schnelllaufend ausgebildet ist und ein nachgeschaltetes Untersetzungsgetriebe erfordert. In diesem Zusammenhang hat es sich bewährt, das Getriebe als Stirnradgetriebe aus- zuführen, um den erforderlichen Bauraum auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren.The add-on module may have at least one electric motor and a downstream transmission in an add-on housing. Here, the invention is based on the knowledge that such an electric motor is usually designed to run fast and requires a downstream reduction gear. In this context, it has proven useful to design the gear unit as a spur gear unit in order to reduce the installation space required to a minimum.
Es ist vorteilhaft, das Ergänzungsgehäuse zweiteilig mit Getriebegehäuseschale und Motor-/Anschlussgehäuseschale auszubilden. Dabei fungiert die Getriebegehäuseschale primär als Aufnahme für einzelne Getriebeglieder bzw. die an dieser Stelle zumeist realisierten Stirnräder. Dagegen trägt das Motor-/Anschlussgehäuse zumeist alleine den Elektromotor sowie einen Anschlussstecker, eine Anschlussbuchse oder vergleichbare elektrische Anschlusseinrichtungen, mit deren Hilfe der Elektromotor bestromt wird.It is advantageous to design the supplementary housing in two parts with the transmission housing shell and the motor / connection housing shell. The gear housing shell primarily functions as a mount for individual gear elements or the spur gears mostly implemented at this point. In contrast, the motor / connection housing usually bears the electric motor alone as well as a connecting plug, a connecting socket or comparable electrical connection devices, with the aid of which the electric motor is supplied with current.
Beide Gehäuseschalen lassen sich vorteilhaft lösbar miteinander verbinden, um sowohl die Montage zu erleichtern, als auch das Nachrüsten sowie gegebenenfalls den Ersatz bei einer Reparatur zu ermöglichen. Die lösbare Verbindung kann im Detail durch eine Rast- oder Clipsverbindung oder auch andere Verbindungsmaßnahmen realisiert werden.Both housing shells can advantageously be detachably connected to one another, both to facilitate assembly and to enable retrofitting and, if necessary, replacement in the event of a repair. The detachable connection can be realized in detail by a snap or clip connection or other connection measures.
Fußseitig verfügt das Erganzungsgehau.se in der Regel über wenigstens einen Verbindungssteg zur kopfseitigen Kopplung mit dem Grundgehäuse. Meistens sind zwei Verbindungsstege realisiert, die in etwa gleich lang ausgebildet und gegenüberliegend an das Ergänzungsgehäuse angeformt sind. Das Grundgehäuse wird also an seinem Kopf mit dem Fuß des Er- gänzungsgehauses verbunden. Dazu verfügt das Grundgehäuse über eine kopfseitige Öffnung während das Ergänzungsgehäuse einen fußseitigen Schlitz aufweist.On the foot side, the Erganzungsgehau.se generally has at least one connecting web for coupling on the head side to the basic housing. Mostly, two connecting webs are realized, which are of approximately the same length and are formed on the opposite side of the supplementary housing. The head of the basic housing is therefore connected to the base of the supplementary housing. For this purpose, the basic housing has an opening on the head side, while the supplementary housing has a slot on the foot side.
Im Bereich der kopfseitigen Öffnung des Grundgehäuses mag ein Betätigungsarm des Auslösehebels platziert sein. Dagegen findet sich im Bereich des fußseitigen Schlitzes des Ergänzungsgehäuses ein ausgangsseitiges Getriebeglied des Antriebes. Das ausgangsseitige Getriebeglied trägt einen mit dem Betätigungsarm des Auslösehebels wechselwirkenden Auslösenocken. Wenn also das Grundgehäuse an seinem Kopf mit dem Fuß des Ergänzungsgehäuses vereinigt wird, wobei die kopfseitige Öffnung des Grundgehäuses und der fußseitige Schlitz des Ergänzungsgehäuses aneinander angepasst sind, so überlappen sich automatisch die Wirkungsbereiche von einerseits dem Auslösenocken am ausgangsseitigen Getriebeglied des Antriebes und andererseits der Auslösehebel. Es stellt sich also automatisch die zuvor beschriebe Wechselwirkung ein. Dadurch ist der Antrieb über das ausgangsseitige Getriebe- glied und den dort vorhandenen Auslösenocken in der Lage, auf den Betätigungsarm des Auslösehebels zu arbeiten. Das sieht im einfachsten Fall so aus, dass der Auslösehebel verschwenkt wird und dabei das Gesperre (elektro-) motorisch öffnet, wie mit Bezug zu der Figurenbeschreibung noch näher erläutert wird.An actuating arm of the release lever may be placed in the area of the opening on the head side of the basic housing. On the other hand, in the area of the slot on the base of the supplementary housing there is an output-side gear member of the drive. The transmission element on the output side carries a trigger cam which interacts with the actuating arm of the trigger lever. So if the base housing is combined at its head with the base of the supplementary housing, the head-side opening of the base housing and the base-side slot of the supplementary housing being matched to one another, the areas of action of the trigger cam on the output-side gear member of the drive and the trigger lever on the other hand automatically overlap , The interaction described above is therefore set automatically. As a result, the drive is able to work on the actuating arm of the release lever via the gear link on the output side and the release cam provided there. In the simplest case, this means that the release lever is pivoted and the locking mechanism opens (electro) by motor, as will be explained in more detail with reference to the description of the figures.
Neben dem Antrieb zum Öffnen des Gesperres mag das Ergänzungsmodul zusätzlich noch ein Blockiermittel für den Antrieb beinhalten. Mit Hilfe dieses Blockiermittels kann der Antrieb in dessen Blockadeposition gesperrt werden, um ein unbeabsichtiges Öffnen des Gesperres zu vermeiden. Erst wenn sich das Blockiermittel in seiner Freigabeposition befindet, ist der Antrieb in der Lage, das Gesperre zu öffnen. Der Wechsel von der regelmäßig eingenommenen Blockade- position zur Freigabeposition erfolgt dabei zumeist durch eine manuelle Bewegung eines zutrittswilligen Bedieners, welche mechanisch auf das Blockiermittel zu seiner Überführung von der Blockadeposition in die Freigabeposition übertragen wird. Um dieses im Detail zu realisieren, wird das Blockiermittel größtenteils von einem aus dem Grundmodul herausgeführten Übertragungsglied beaufschlagt. Im Ergebnis wird ein Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss zur Verfügung gestellt, der durch seinen besonderen modularen Aufbau besticht. Tatsächlich verfügt das Grundmodul über alle wesentlichen Schlossbestandteile, die zum mechanischen Öffnen des Gesperres erforderlich sind. Hierzu gehört beispielsweise der Auslösehebel aber auch wenigstens ein Betätigungshebel . Ebenso mag zumindest ein Verriegelungshebel - auch in der Ausführungsform als Zentralverriegelungshebel - verwirklicht sein. Wenn nun dieses Grundmodul mit einer Einrichtung zum motorischen Öffnen des Gesperres kombiniert werden soll, kann dies erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht werden, dass einfach ein Ergänzungsmodul an das Grundmodul gleichsam angeflanscht wird. Dabei ist das Ergänzungsmodul mit dem dann erforderlichen Antrieb zum Öffnen des Gesperres ausgerüstet, wobei das Grundmodul überhaupt die Aufnahme des Ergänzungsmoduls ermöglicht.In addition to the drive for opening the locking mechanism, the supplementary module may also contain a blocking agent for the drive. With the help of this blocking device, the drive can be locked in its blocking position in order to avoid unintentional opening of the locking mechanism. The drive is only able to open the locking mechanism when the blocking agent is in its release position. The change from the regularly adopted blockage position to the release position usually takes place through a manual movement of an operator who is willing to access, which is mechanically transferred to the blocking means for its transfer from the blockage position to the release position. In order to implement this in detail, the blocking means is largely acted upon by a transmission element led out of the basic module. As a result, a motor vehicle door lock is provided, which impresses with its special modular structure. In fact, the basic module has all the essential lock components that are required to mechanically open the locking mechanism. This includes, for example, the release lever but also at least one actuation lever. Likewise, at least one locking lever - also in the embodiment as a central locking lever - may be implemented. If this basic module is now to be combined with a device for motorized opening of the locking mechanism, this can be achieved according to the invention by simply flanging an additional module onto the basic module, as it were. The add-on module is equipped with the drive then required to open the locking mechanism, the basic module even allowing the add-on module to be included.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Grundmodul 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 zur Aufnahme eines Ergänzungsmoduls 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ein- gerichtet. Das Ergänzungsmodul 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 verfügt über einen Antrieb 8, 9, 10, 11 zum Öffnen des Gesperres 1, 2. Tatsächlich setzt sich der Antrieb 8, 9, 10, 11 aus einem Elektromotor 8 und einem nachgeschalteten Getriebe 9, 10 aus zwei miteinander kämmenden Stirnrädern 9, 10 zu- sammen. Das ausgangsseitige Stirnrad 10 bzw. ausgangs- seitige Getriebeglied 10 trägt dabei einen Nocken 11. Tatsächlich sind zwei Nocken bzw. Auslösenocken 11, 11' realisiert .According to the invention, the basic module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is set up to accommodate an additional module 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. The supplementary module 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 has a drive 8, 9, 10, 11 for opening the locking mechanism 1, 2. The drive 8, 9, 10, 11 is actually composed of an electric motor 8 and one Downstream gear 9, 10 from two intermeshing spur gears 9, 10 together. The output-side spur gear 10 or output-side gear member 10 carries a cam 11. In fact, two cams or release cams 11, 11 'are realized.
Zu dem Ergänzungsmodul 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 gehört ferner ein Ergänzungsgehäuse 7, welches neben dem bereits beschriebenen Antrieb 8, 9, 10, 11 noch Anschlusseinrich- tungen 12 aufnimmt . Bei den Anschlusseinrichtungen 12 handelt es sich im Rahmen des Ausführungsbeispiels um eine Steckbuchse, die mit einer Verbindungsleitung zur elek- trischen Versorgung des Elektromotors 8 verbunden wird. Das ist im Einzelnen nicht dargestellt (vgl. Fig. 3).The expansion module 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 also includes an expansion housing 7 which, in addition to the drive 8, 9, 10, 11 already described, also accommodates connection devices 12. In the context of the exemplary embodiment, the connection devices 12 are a plug socket which is connected to the electrical electrical supply of the electric motor 8 is connected. This is not shown in detail (see FIG. 3).
Das Ergänzungsgehäuse 7 verfügt wie das Grundgehäuse 6 über einen zweiteiligen Aufbau mit einer Getriebegehäuseschale 7a und einer Motor-/Anschlussgehäuseschale 7b. Beide Gehäuseschalen 7a, 7b sind lösbar miteinander verbunden. Die Erfindung greift an dieser Stelle auf eine Clipsverbindung 13 zurück. Die Getriebegehäuseschale 7a nimmt primär die beiden Stirnräder 9, 10 sowie die Auslδsenocken 11, 11' am ausgangsseitigen Stirnrad 10 auf, während in der Motor-/ Anschlussgehäuseschale 7b der Elektromotor 8 und die Anschlusseinrichtung 12 Platz finden (vgl. Fig. 1 und 3) .The supplementary housing 7, like the basic housing 6, has a two-part construction with a gear housing shell 7a and a motor / connection housing shell 7b. Both housing shells 7a, 7b are detachably connected to one another. The invention uses a clip connection 13 at this point. The gear housing shell 7a primarily accommodates the two spur gears 9, 10 and the release cams 11, 11 'on the output spur gear 10, while the motor / connection housing shell 7b accommodates the electric motor 8 and the connection device 12 (see FIGS. 1 and 3). ,
Zur Verbindung des Grundmoduls 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 mit dem Ergänzungsmodul 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 verfügt das Ergänzungs- gehäuse 7 über wenigstens einen fußseitigen Verbindungssteg 14. Im Rahmen des Ausführungsbeispiels sind zwei sich gegenüberliegende und in etwa gleich lange Verbindungsstege 14a, 14b realisiert, wobei der Verbindungssteg 14a an die Getriebegehäuseschale 7a angeformt ist, während die Motor-/ Anschlussgehäuseschale 7b den anderen Verbindungssteg 14b trägt (vgl. Fig. 1) .To connect the basic module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 to the supplementary module 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, the supplementary housing 7 has at least one connecting web 14 on the foot side. Within the scope of the exemplary embodiment, two are located opposite one another and approximately the same length of connecting webs 14a, 14b are realized, the connecting web 14a being molded onto the transmission housing shell 7a, while the motor / connection housing shell 7b carries the other connecting web 14b (cf. FIG. 1).
Die beiden Verbindungsstege 14a, 14b lassen sich mit kopfseitig des Grundgehäuses 6 vorgesehenen Anschlussstegen 15a, 15b koppeln. Der eine Anschlusssteg 15a ist an den Schlosskasten 6a angeformt, während der andere Verbindungssteg 15b Bestandteil des Schlossdeckels 6b ist. Die Verbindungsstege 14a, 14b und die Anschlussstege 15a, 15b umrahmen jeweils eine kopfseitige Öffnung 16 des Grund- gehäuses 6 respektive einen fußseitigen Schlitz 17 des Ergänzungsgehäuses 7. Die kopfseitige Öffnung 16 und der fuß- seitige Schlitz 17 sind wie die jeweiligen Stege 14a, 14b und 15a, 15b aneinander angepasst und überlappen sich, damit das Grundmodul 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 mit dem Ergänzungs- modul 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 durch beispielsweise verschrauben verbunden werden kann.The two connecting webs 14a, 14b can be coupled to connection webs 15a, 15b provided on the head side of the basic housing 6. One connecting web 15a is molded onto the lock case 6a, while the other connecting web 15b is part of the lock cover 6b. The connecting webs 14a, 14b and the connecting webs 15a, 15b each frame a head-side opening 16 of the base housing 6 and a foot-side slot 17 of the supplementary housing 7. The head-side opening 16 and the foot-side slot 17, like the respective webs 14a, 14b and 15a, 15b, are adapted to one another and overlap so that the basic module 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6 can be connected to the supplementary module 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 by screwing, for example.
Im Bereich der kopfseitigen Öffnung 16 des Grundgehäuses 6 ist ein Betätigungsarm 5a des Auslösehebels 5 angeordnet. Dagegen befindet sich im Bereich des fußseitigen Schlitzes 17 des Ergänzungsgehäuses 7 das ausgangsseitige Getriebeglied bzw. Stirnrad 10 mit den Auslösenocken 11, 11'. Tatsächlich sind die beiden Auslösenocken 11 und 11' reali- siert, die sich jeweils in Bezug auf eine Achse 18 des aus- gangsseitigen Getriebegliedes 10 gegenüberliegen. Ein gehäusefester Anschlag 19 sorgt dafür, dass Drehbewegungen des ausgangsseitigen Getriebegliedes 10 über einen bestimmten vorgegebenen Drehwinkel hinaus begrenzt werden, indem der jeweilige Auslösenocken 11 oder 11' an dem Anschlag 19 zur Anlage kommt (vgl. Fig. 5a und 5b) .An actuating arm 5a of the release lever 5 is arranged in the region of the opening 16 on the head side of the basic housing 6. In contrast, in the area of the slot 17 on the foot side of the supplementary housing 7, there is the output-side gear member or spur gear 10 with the release cams 11, 11 '. In fact, the two trigger cams 11 and 11 'are realized, which are opposite each other with respect to an axis 18 of the transmission element 10 on the output side. A stop 19 fixed to the housing ensures that rotary movements of the output-side transmission member 10 are limited beyond a certain predetermined angle of rotation by the respective release cams 11 or 11 'coming to rest against the stop 19 (cf. FIGS. 5a and 5b).
Das Ergänzungsmodul 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 verfügt zusätzlich noch über ein insbesondere in den Figuren 4 und 5 zu er- kennendes Blockiermittel 20 in Gestalt eines Blockierhebels 20. Das Blockiermittel 20 lässt sich von einer Blockadeposition für den Antrieb 8, 9, 10, 11 (vgl. Fig. 4a) in eine Freigabeposition entsprechend der Fig. 4b überführen. Das geschieht nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel manuell, indem der Betätigungshebel bzw. Außenbetätigungshebel 3 beim Übergang von der Fig. 4a zu der Fig. 4b im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt wird und mit Hilfe des aus dem Grundmodul 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 herausgeführten Übertragungsgliedes 4 das Blockiermittel 20 entsprechend beaufschlagt.The supplementary module 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 additionally has a blocking means 20, in particular in FIGS. 4 and 5, in the form of a blocking lever 20. The blocking means 20 can be moved from a blocking position for the drive 8, 9, 10, 11 (cf. FIG. 4a) transfer into a release position corresponding to FIG. 4b. According to the exemplary embodiment, this is done manually by pivoting the actuating lever or external actuating lever 3 clockwise during the transition from FIG. 4a to FIG. 4b and with the aid of the transmission element 4 led out of the basic module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, the blocking means 20 is acted upon accordingly.
Die Funktionsweise ist wie folgt. Das Gesperre 1, 2 des Grundmoduls 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 lässt sich mechanisch dadurch öffnen, dass der Betätigungshebel 3 mit Hilfe des Übertragungsgliedes 4 auf den Auslösehebel 5 in der Weise arbeitet, dass dieser Auslösehebel 5 über einen Vorsprung 21 die Sperrklinke 2 beim Übergang von der Fig. 5a zur Fig. 5b im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, so dass die Drehfalle 1 freikommt. Es versteht sich, dass zuvor oder in einem Zug mit diesem Vorgang ein evti . Verriegelungshebel von seiner Position "verriegelt" in die Stellung "entriegelt" über- führt wird.The way it works is as follows. The locking mechanism 1, 2 of the basic module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 can be opened mechanically in that the actuating lever 3 works with the aid of the transmission member 4 on the release lever 5 in such a way that this release lever 5 has a projection 21 the pawl 2 is pivoted counterclockwise during the transition from FIG. 5a to FIG. 5b, so that the catch 1 is released. It goes without saying that an evti. Locking lever is moved from its "locked" position to the "unlocked" position.
Ist dagegen das Grundmodul 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 mit dem Ergänzungsmodul 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ausgerüstet, so kann das Gesperre 1, 2 - auch - motorisch mit Hilfe des Elektro- motors 8 geöffnet werden. Dazu muss zunächst das Blockiermittel 20 bzw. der Blockierhebel 20 von seiner Blockadeposition nach der Fig. 4a in die Freigabeposition entsprechend der Fig. 4b überführt werden. Zu diesem Zweck wird der Betätigungshebel bzw. Außenbetätigungshebel 3 von außen manuell im Uhrzeigersinn verschwenkt, so dass auch der Blockierhebel 20 eine Uhrzeigersinnbewegung beim Übergang von der Fig. 4a zur Fig. 4b vollführt.If, on the other hand, the basic module 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 is equipped with the supplementary module 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, the locking mechanism 1, 2 can also be opened by a motor with the help of the electric motor 8 become. For this purpose, the blocking means 20 or the blocking lever 20 must first be transferred from its blocking position according to FIG. 4a to the release position according to FIG. 4b. For this purpose, the actuating lever or external actuating lever 3 is manually pivoted clockwise from the outside, so that the blocking lever 20 also performs a clockwise movement during the transition from FIG. 4a to FIG. 4b.
Bei diesem Vorgang betätigt der Blockierhebel 20 einen Sen- sor 22 in Gestalt eines TastSchalters, welcher die Einnahme der Freigabeposition des Blockierhebels 20 dokumentiert und gleichzeitig den Elektromotor 8 für das elektrische Öffnen des Gesperres 1, 2 beaufschlagt.In this process, the blocking lever 20 actuates a sensor 22 in the form of a pushbutton switch, which documents the taking of the release position of the blocking lever 20 and simultaneously applied to the electric motor 8 for the electrical opening of the locking mechanism 1, 2.
Das hat zur Folge, dass das ausgangsseitige Getriebeglied 10 mit den Auslδsenocken 11, 11' den gehäusefesten Anschlag 19 verlässt und sich beim Übergang von der Fig. 5a zur Fig. 5b im Uhrzeigersinn auf den Betätigungsarm 5a des Auslösehebels 5 zubewegt. Dadurch, dass der Auslösenocken 11 an dem Betätigungsarm 5a anschlägt, wird der Auslδsehebel 5 im Gegenuhrzeigersinn in Bezug auf seine Achse 23 verschwenkt, so dass der Nocken 21 am Auslδsehebel 5 die achsgleich gelagerte Sperrklinke 2 mitnimmt und ebenfalls im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verdreht. Die Drehfalle 1 kommt frei und kann sich federunterstützt öffnen. The result of this is that the output-side transmission member 10 with the release cams 11, 11 'leaves the stop 19 fixed to the housing and moves clockwise during the transition from FIG. 5a to FIG. 5b towards the actuating arm 5a of the release lever 5. Characterized in that the release cam 11 strikes the actuating arm 5a, the release lever 5 is pivoted counterclockwise with respect to its axis 23, so that the cam 21 on the release lever 5 takes the pawl 2, which is mounted in the same axis, and also rotates counterclockwise. The catch 1 is released and can open with spring support.
