Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle with a central locking for at least motor vehicle doors, which is associated with an electrical switch for transferring the central locking in a locked or unlocked state, and an opening on an inside of at least one motor vehicle door pivotally mounted opening lever for opening the same.
  • the DE 35 23 432 C1 discloses a central locking with a multi-point operation for actuatable by means of pneumatic or hydraulic actuators fasteners on a motor vehicle, especially for the driver and front passenger door and the rear doors.
  • the central locking system comprises a key-operated lock cylinder at least on the driver's and front passenger's door.
  • the lock cylinders are operatively connected to the control elements and electrical changeover switches.
  • a switching signal for the central power-operated control of all door locks is effected in its locked or unlocked position.
  • the central locking has a trained as an ignition switch driving switch, in the manual operation in the closed position all door locks are transferred to their locking position.
  • the central locking comprises a push-button switch in the passenger compartment for arbitrary locking and unlocking of the central locking and thus all door locks. Based on the switching position of the ignition switch and thereby effected central locking of all door locks when arbitrarily, manually pressing the key switch in its closed position, a switching signal to the central unlocking is effected. After releasing the key switch a switching signal for central locking of all door locks is effected. But also on the door inner operating handle is issued by closing a door contact switch a switching signal for central unlocking the central locking. After closing the door and thereby open the door contact switch, a switching signal for central locking of all doors is caused by the central locking. After actuation of the ignition switch in its open position, a switching signal for the central unlocking of all door locks is effected when opening the driver or passenger door on the door inner handle by the switching changeover switch.
  • This central locking is disadvantageous in that the push-button must always be kept pressed to achieve unlocking the door locks.
  • the key switch is usually arranged as an additional component on a hard to reach for the driver or in particular for the passenger body in the passenger compartment, for example in a center console or in the driver's door switching console, so that an operation and holding the key switch to a very unpleasant posture of the actuating person leads.
  • the EP 0 634 548 B1 Figure 10 shows a locking system for a door having a locking mechanism that can be locked to prevent opening of the door and a locking cylinder connected to the locking mechanism via a first rod and operable from the outside of the door is.
  • the locking system further includes a locking button connected to the locking mechanism via a second rod and operable from the inside of the door between a locking position and an unlocked position of the locking mechanism.
  • the locking system includes a safety mechanism that is electrically or electromagnetically operable to lock the lock button in its locked position or to unlock the lock button.
  • the US 6,181,024 B1 discloses an outer opening lever (1) which acts on pivoting a switch (2).
  • the object is achieved with a motor vehicle according to claim 1.
  • a motor vehicle in which arranged on the arrangement of a switch for actuating the central locking in a center console or in a motor vehicle door Switch console is omitted. If the opening lever is moved from the rest position to the first switching position, a signal is generated by the switch, which causes the central locking, the vehicle doors, depending on the locking state, to lock or unlock.
  • the central locking causes by electronic means locking or unlocking of the vehicle doors and possibly further flaps of the motor vehicle by the application of appropriate control elements.
  • an increased security is achieved for opening the door in locked vehicle doors, since only one operation of the opening lever is necessary. Further, it is not necessary for the user of the opening lever to change his pleasant posture taken in a seat of the motor vehicle for locking or unlocking the doors of the motor vehicle, thereby providing extremely pleasant handling.
  • the opening lever In order to generate the signal for driving the central locking, the opening lever is simply pivoted manually from its rest position to the first switching position until the release of the switch integrated in the mechanism of the opening lever.
  • the actuation of the switch is made tactile and / or audible to the user of the opening lever in a conventional manner.
  • conventional means such as spring loaded, the opening lever returns when released to its rest position. The switched by the switch state of the central locking system is maintained until the opening lever is again brought into the switching position.
  • the opening lever preferably passes during a pivoting from the rest position into a mechanical one Opening position for the motor vehicle door, a second switching position in which the switch generates a signal to unlock the central locking. This ensures that the motor vehicle door is unlocked immediately before a mechanical opening through the central locking.
  • the switch is expediently assigned to a rotation axis of the opening lever in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the opening lever 1 is arranged in a recessed grip 2 on an inner side of a motor vehicle door for the mechanical unlocking of the same and stored in a known manner by means of a fixedly connected axis of rotation 3 on the motor vehicle door.
  • the rotation axis 3 extends perpendicularly from a lower side 4 of the recessed grip 2 to an upper side 5 of the recessed grip 2.
  • the rotation axis 3 is associated with a switch 6 in a rotationally fixed manner, which is secured to the underside 4 of the recessed grip 2.
  • the switch 6 is electrically connected to a central locking system.
  • the switch 6 may be provided on each vehicle door. In the illustrated embodiment, the switch 6 is associated with a driver's door of the motor vehicle, for which reason only its operation will be described below.
  • the switch 6 is coupled to the rotational axis 3 of the opening lever 1 such that it causes a locking or unlocking of the vehicle door when the opening lever 1 is moved from a rest position 7 to a first switching position 8, in which the switch 6 sends a signal to Ver - Or unlocking the central locking and thus generates the driver's door, wherein the opening lever 1 when releasing automatically returns from the first switching position 8 in its rest position 7 and a locking or unlocking the central locking is maintained until the opening lever 1 again in the first switching position 8 is pivoted ( Fig. 2 ).
  • the opening lever 1 is manually in the direction an outside of the driver's door pressed into the grip 2.
  • the motor vehicle doors are first unlocked by means of the central locking, whereupon the driver's door can be opened with a control element arranged on its outer side. After entering the driver's door is locked and is in the unlocked state. If the driver now wishes to lock the driver's door or all motor vehicle doors, he only has to move the opening lever 1 into the first switching position 8, in which he presses the opening lever 1 to the outside of the driver's door.
  • the opening lever 1 also has the function of mechanically opening the driver's door.
  • the opening lever 1 is displaced from the rest position 7 in an open position 11, which is achieved by pivoting the opening lever 1 in the direction of the passenger compartment.
  • the rotation axis 3 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 12.
  • a second switching position 13 of the switch 6 is passed ( Fig. 2 ), in which the switch 6 generates a signal that causes the central locking to unlock the driver's door. This happens before reaching the open position 11.
  • the open position 11 accesses the mechanical opening of the driver's door.
