Abstract

The pawl or the drive stays in positive contact with the catch or a component coupled with the catch by the mechanism in a last part of the movement of the pawl towards an excess lifting position or during further movement of the drive after reaching the lifting position of the pawl, such that the catch moves towards the release position. The lock has a pawl (3) and a catch (2) that is movable from a main closing position to a release position. A motor drive (4) is provided for moving the pawl, and a forced-opening mechanism (10) operated by the drive is provided for the catch.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kraftfahrzeugschloß gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a motor vehicle lock according to the preamble of claim 1.

Das Kraftfahrzeugschloß ist in besonderem Maße als Heckklappenschloß geeignet, kann aber auch als Seitentürschloß, Hecktürschloß oder Haubenschloß Verwendung finden.The motor vehicle lock is particularly suitable as a tailgate lock, but can also be used as side door lock, rear door lock or hood lock use.

Ein bekanntes Kraftfahrzeugschloß ( DE 39 32 268 C2 ) weist eine Sperrklinke und eine Schloßfalle auf, die miteinander mittels einer Feder verbunden sind. Die Feder ist dabei so angeordnet, daß die Sperrklinke in Richtung ihrer Einfallstellung belastet ist. Wenn die Sperrklinke mittels eines motorischen Antriebes in ihre Aushebestellung bewegt ist, belastet die Feder die Schloßfalle in Richtung der Freigabestellung der Schloßfalle. Hierdurch soll sichergestellt sein, daß die Schloßfalle sicher geöffnet wird. Die sichere Öffnung ist jedoch beispielsweise dann nicht gegeben, wenn die Tür vereist ist und die Kraftfahrzeugtür daher nicht von der Türdichtung in Richtung der Öffnungsstellung gedrückt wird. Die Schloßfalle wird dann durch den Schließbolzen in ihrer Hauptschließstellung gehalten und die Sperrklinke wird aufgrund der Federkraft zurück in die Einfallstellung bewegt. Ein sicheres Öffnen ist somit unter gewissen Umständen nicht möglich.A known motor vehicle lock ( DE 39 32 268 C2 ) has a pawl and a latch which are connected together by a spring. The spring is arranged so that the pawl is loaded in the direction of their Einfallstellung. When the pawl is moved by means of a motor drive in its Aushebestellung, the spring loads the latch in the direction of the release position of the latch. This is to ensure that the latch is opened securely. However, the safe opening is not given, for example, when the door is iced and the vehicle door is therefore not pressed by the door seal in the direction of the open position. The latch is then held by the locking pin in its main closed position and the pawl is moved back into the position of incidence due to the spring force. Safe opening is therefore not possible under certain circumstances.

Um nach erfolgtem Ausheben der Sperrklinke einen Wiedereinfall der Sperrklinke in die Einfallstellung zu verhindern, ist es bekannt, einen mechanischen Hebel, den sog. Schneelasthebel, an dem Kraftfahrzeugschloß vorzusehen. Der Schneelasthebel fällt bei Erreichen der Aushebestellung der Sperrklinke relativ zur Sperrklinke so ein, daß die Sperrklinke in der Aushebestellung gehalten wird bis die Schloßfalle ihre Freigabestellung erreicht hat. In dieser Stellung der Schloßfalle wird der Schneelasthebel von der Sperrklinke freigeschwenkt, so daß diese bezüglich der Hauptschließstellung der Schloßfalle wieder funktionstüchtig ist Diese mechanische Technik ist zwar bewährt und zweckmäßig, da sie das Problem einer nicht von selbst öffnenden Klappe oder Tür beispielsweise bei Belastung durch Schnee, bei nicht hinreichender Rückstellkraft der Dichtung oder bei festgefrorener Dichtung einer Lösung zuführt.In order to prevent a reentry of the pawl in the incident position after the lifting of the pawl, it is known to provide a mechanical lever, the so-called. Snow load lever on the motor vehicle lock. The snow load lever falls upon reaching the Aushebestellung the pawl relative to the pawl so that the pawl is held in the Aushebestellung until the latch has reached its release position. In this position of the latch of the snow load lever is freely pivoted by the pawl, so that it is functional again with respect to the main closed position of the latch This mechanical technique is indeed proven and useful, since they have the problem of not self-opening flap or door, for example, when exposed to snow , if there is insufficient return force of the gasket or if the gasket is frozen, it will be sent to a solution.

Der zusätzliche Hebel stellt aber einen zusätzlichen Kostenfaktor und einen zusätzlichen Risikofaktor (Klemmen, Bruch) dar.The additional lever, however, represents an additional cost factor and an additional risk factor (jamming, breakage).

Das Ausschließen eines Wiedereinfallens der Sperrklinke in die Einfallstellung kann bei motorisch angetriebenen Sperrklinken auch rein steuerungstechnisch realisiert werden. Hierzu ist es erforderlich, die Bewegung der Schloßfalle bis zum Erreichen der Freigabestellung mittels Mikroschaltern abzutasten. Diese Variante ist jedoch sowohl teuer als auch fehleranfallig.The exclusion of a re-engagement of the pawl in the incident position can also be realized purely control technology in motor-driven pawls. For this purpose, it is necessary to scan the movement of the latch until it reaches the release position by means of microswitches. However, this variant is both expensive and error prone.

Zudem ist aus einem nicht vorveröffentlichten Stand der Technik ( DE 103 12 304,0 ) ein Kraftfahrzeugschloß bekannt, bei dem die für die Freigabe der Schloßfalle aufzubringende Kraft bzw. Arbeit auf ein Minimum reduziert ist. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Sperrklinke mit einer Sperrklinkenkinematik zusammenwirkt, und die Schloßfalle nicht unmittelbar von der Sperrklinke in ihrer Hauptschließstellung gehalten wird sondern mittelbar mittels der Sperrklinkenkinematik. Bei diesem Kraftfahrzeugschloß ist für eine sichere Öffnung beispielsweise bei vereister Tür nicht besonders vorgesorgt. Der Offenbarungsgehalt der Anmeldungsunterlagen der DE 103 12 304.0 wird hiermit durch Bezugnahme zum Offenbarungsgehalt der vorliegenden Patentanmeldung gemacht.Moreover, from a non-prepublished prior art ( DE 103 12 304.0 ) A motor vehicle lock, in which the applied for the release of the lock latch force or work is reduced to a minimum. This is achieved in that the pawl cooperates with a pawl kinematics, and the latch is not held directly by the pawl in its main closed position but indirectly by means of the pawl kinematics. In this motor vehicle lock is not particularly provided for a secure opening, for example, icy door. The disclosure of the application documents of the DE 103 12 304.0 is hereby incorporated by reference into the disclosure content of the present patent application.

Das den Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Erfindung bildende Kraftfahrzeugschloß ( DE 196 14 122 Al) sieht bei mehrrastigen Kraftfahrzeugschlössern eine Sperrklinke vor, die erst nach der Bewegung der Schloßfalle in die Freigabestellung wieder in die Einfallstellung zurückkehren kann. Dies wird dadurch realisiert, daß die Sperrklinke mit der Schloßfalle in Vorraststellung eine Überdeckung aufweist und die Sperrklinke so ausgeführt ist, daß sie durch ihren motorischen Antrieb erst nach Verlagerung der Schloßfalle in die Freigabestellung wieder in die Einfallstellung zurückkehren kann. Dabei ist die Überdeckung zwischen Schloßfalle und Sperrklinke so ausgeführt, daß eine Abtastung der Sperrklinke durch Sensoren unterbleiben kann. Nachteilig hieran ist jedoch, daß dieses Konzept nur bei mehrrastigen Kraftfahrzeugschlössern anwendbar ist Zudem ist bei festgefrorenen Türen eine erhöhte Kraft durch den Bediener aurfzubringen, um die Kraftfahrzeugtür zu öffnen.The starting point of the present invention forming motor vehicle lock ( DE 196 14 122 Al) provides for mehrrastigen motor vehicle locks a pawl, which can only return to the position of incidence after the movement of the latch in the release position. This is realized in that the pawl with the latch in pre-locking position has an overlap and the pawl is designed so that they can return by their motor drive only after relocation of the latch in the release position back into the position of incidence. The overlap between the latch and pawl is designed so that a scan of the pawl can be omitted by sensors. The disadvantage of this, however, is that this concept is only applicable to multi-door motor vehicle locks In addition, in frozen doors an increased force aurfbringen by the operator to open the vehicle door.

Der Lehre der vorliegenden Patentanmeldung liegt das Problem zugrunde, ein Kraftfahrzeugschloß anzugeben, bei dem eine Öffnung auf einfäche Weise zu jedem Zeitpunkt sicher realisierbar ist.The teaching of the present patent application is based on the problem of specifying a motor vehicle lock, in which an opening in a simple way at any time safely realized.

Das obige Problem wird bei einem Kraftfahrzeugschloß mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1 durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The above problem is solved in a motor vehicle lock with the features of the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die grundlegende Idee der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt darin, einen Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus für die Schloßfalle vorzusehen, der auf die Bewegung der Sperrklinke abgestimmt ist und mit der Schloßfalle selbst oder mit einem mit der Schloßfalle bewegungsgekoppelten Element auf dem letzten Teil der Bewegung der Sperrklinke in die Überhubstellung und/oder während einer Weiterbewegung des Antriebs der Sperrklinke nach Erreichen der AushebeStellung der Sperrklinke formschlüssig in Eingriff steht, so daß die Schloßfalle durch den Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus in Richtung der Freigabestellung verlagert wird.The basic idea of the present invention is to provide a positive opening mechanism for the latch, which is adapted to the movement of the pawl and with the latch itself or with a motion-coupled with the latch latch element on the last part of the movement of the pawl in the overstroke position and / or during a further movement of the drive of the pawl after reaching the AushebeStellung the pawl is positively engaged, so that the latch is displaced by the forced-opening mechanism in the direction of the release position.

Hierdurch wird die Schloßfalle bei ausgehobener Sperrklinke in jedem Fall jedenfalls ein kleines Stück zwangsweise in Richtung der Freigabestellung verlagert, so daß eine evtl. vorhandene anfängliche Blockade wie z. B. durch Schnee oder Eis wirksam überwunden wird. Diese konstruktive Lehre geht von der Erkenntnis aus, daß zumeist nach einem anfänglichen "Losbrechen" der Schloßfalle aus der Hauptschließstellung das weitere Öffnen der Kraftfahrzeugtür oder -klappe leicht möglich ist, zumindest aber durch Überdekkung der Schloßfalle mit der Bewegungsbahn der Sperrklinke sichergestellt ist, daß die Sperrklinke jedenfalls nicht mehr in die Einfallstellung zurückgelangt. Die Kraftfahrzeugtür oder -klappe kann jedenfalls dann von Hand geöffnet werden, auch wenn sie noch von Schnee oder anderweit belastet sein sollte.As a result, the latch is displaced in any case a small piece forcibly in the case of excavated pawl in any case in the direction of the release position, so that a possibly existing initial blockage such. B. is effectively overcome by snow or ice. This constructive doctrine is based on the recognition that usually after an initial "breaking free" of the latch from the main closed position, the further opening of the vehicle door or door is easily possible, but at least by Überdekkung the latch is ensured with the path of movement of the pawl that the In any case, pawl no longer returned to the position of incidence. The motor vehicle door or flap can then be opened by hand anyway, even if it should still be charged by snow or otherwise.

Damit nach der ersten Überwindung der Blockade sichergestellt ist, daß die Sperrklinke nicht zurück in die Einfallstellung fällt und somit nachträglich die Möglichkeit eines ungewollten Wiedereinfallens gegeben ist, weist das Kraftfahrzeugschloß in vorteilhafter Ausführung ein Haltemittel auf, das verhindert, daß die Schloßfalle nach der Freigabe durch die Sperrklinke in die Hauptschließstellung zurück gedrückt wird.In order to ensure after the first overcoming of the blockade that the pawl does not fall back into the position of incidence and thus subsequently the possibility of an unwanted re-occurrence is given, the motor vehicle lock in an advantageous embodiment, a holding means which prevents that the lock latch is pushed back after release by the pawl in the main closed position.

Damit das Schließen des Kraftfahrzeugschlosses ebenso sichergestellt ist wie das Öffnen, ist es vorteilhaft wenn der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus für die Schloßfalle zudem ein Zwangs-Schließmechanismus für die Sperrklinke ist, der die Sperrklinke in Richtung ihrer Einfallstellung verlagert, wenn die Schloßfalle von der Freigabestellung in Richtung ihrer Hauptschließstellung verlagert wird.Thus, the closing of the motor vehicle lock is ensured as well as the opening, it is advantageous if the forced opening mechanism for the latch is also a forced-closing mechanism for the pawl, which displaces the pawl in the direction of their Einfallstellung when the latch from the release position in the direction their main closing position.

Vorzugsweise weist der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus einen Mitnehmer auf, der die formschlüssige Verbindung mit der Schloßfalle oder mit einem mit der Schloßfalle bewegungsgekoppelten Element sicherstellt Ein Mitnehmer ist dabei insofern besonders geeignet, da er auf einfache Weise und somit preiswert in das Kraftfahrzeugschloß integriert werden kann und gleichzeitig eine gute Kraftübertragung auf die Schloßfalle ermöglicht.Preferably, the forced-opening mechanism on a driver, which ensures the positive connection with the lock latch or with a motion-coupled with the lock element element A driver is so far particularly suitable because it can be integrated in a simple manner and thus inexpensively in the motor vehicle lock and at the same time allows a good power transfer to the latch.

In einer alternativen Ausführungsform weist der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus einen Hebel insbesondere an der Sperrklinke auf, der mit der Sperrklinkenkinematik formschlüssig in Eingriff bringbar ist. Bevorzugt hieran ist, daß durch die Sperrklinkenkinematik die Betätigungskräfte für die Sperrklinke gering gehalten werden.In an alternative embodiment, the forced opening mechanism has a lever, in particular on the pawl, which can be brought into positive engagement with the pawl kinematics. Preferred here is that the actuating forces for the pawl are kept low by the pawl kinematics.

Besonders zweckmäßig ist es, wenn der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus nicht mit der Schloßfalle selbst, sondern mit einem mit der Schloßfalle bewegungsgekoppelten Element formschlüssig in Eingriff bringbar ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich zwischen der Sperrklinke und der Schloßfalle eine Sperrklinkenkinematik anzuordnen, durch die die für die Freigabe der Schloßfalle aufzubringende Kraft auf ein Minimum reduziert ist (wie in der DE 103 12 304.0 beschrieben). Da bei einem Kraftfahrzeugtürschloß mit geringen Betätigungskräften die Wirkung eines Vereisens der Kraftfahrzeugtür besonders störend ist, eine die Zwangsöffnung hier besonders vorteilhaft.It is particularly expedient if the forced opening mechanism can not be brought into positive engagement with the latch itself, but with a member coupled to the latch in a latching manner. This makes it possible between the pawl and the latch to arrange a pawl kinematics, by which the applied for the release of the latch is reduced to a minimum (as in the DE 103 12 304.0 described). Since in a motor vehicle door lock with low actuation forces, the effect of freezing the motor vehicle door is particularly disturbing, the positive opening here particularly advantageous.

Insbesondere vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Zwangs-Öfnungsmechanismus an der Sperrklinke selbst angeordnet ist Der Antrieb ist dann auf besonders einfache Weise realisiert und die Abstimmung zwischen dem Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus und der Sperrklinke ist durch eine entsprechende Positionierung an der Sperrklinke immer gegeben.It is particularly advantageous if the forced opening mechanism is arranged on the pawl itself. The drive is then realized in a particularly simple manner and the coordination between the forced opening mechanism and the pawl is always given by a corresponding positioning on the pawl.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Kraftfahrzeugschloß 1 mit einer Schloßfalle 2 und einer Sperrklinke 3. Die Schloßfalle 2, die hier und vorzugsweise als Drehfalle ausgeführt ist, ist aus einer Hauptschließstellung (Fig. 1) in eine Freigabestellung (Fig. 3) und umgekehrt verlagerbar. Die Sperrklinke 3 weist eine Einfallstellung auf (Fig. 1), in der sie die Schloßfalle 2 in der Hauptschließstellung hält Daneben weist die Sperrklinke 3 eine Aushebestellung (Fig. 3) auf, in der die Schloßfalle 2 freigegeben ist. Auf dem Weg von der Einfallstellung in die Aushebestellung passiert die Sperrklinke 3 eine Überhubstellung, die in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist In dieser Überhubstellung ist die Sperrklinke 3 weiter als in der Aushebestellung ausgehoben, so daß die Schloßfalle 2 mit einem gewissen Abstand zwischen der Rastnase an der Sperrklinke 3 und der zugehörigen Rastnase an der Schloßfalle 2 freigegeben ist. Der so realisierte Überhub der Sperrklinke 3 wird hier und vorzugsweise erfindungsgemäß für eine Zwangsöffnung der Schloßfalle 2 genutzt. Fig. 1 shows a motor vehicle lock 1 with a latch 2 and a pawl 3. The latch 2, which is here and preferably designed as a catch, is from a main closed position ( Fig. 1 ) into a release position ( Fig. 3 ) and vice versa. The pawl 3 has an incidence position ( Fig. 1 ), in which it holds the latch 2 in the main closed position In addition, the pawl 3 has a release position ( Fig. 3 ), in which the latch 2 is released. On the way from the incidence position to the release position, the pawl 3 passes an overstroke position, which in Fig. 2 In this overstroke position, the pawl 3 is wider than in the Dismounted lift-out, so that the latch 2 is released with a certain distance between the locking lug on the pawl 3 and the associated locking lug on the latch 2. The thus realized overstroke of the pawl 3 is here and preferably used according to the invention for a positive opening of the latch 2.

Im hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel wird die Verlagerung der Sperrklinke 3 aus ihrer Einfallstellung in die Aushebestellung mittels eines motorischen Antriebs 4 realisiert. Anstelle des motorischen Antriebs 4 kann die Bewegung aber auch manuell, also auf mechanische Weise erfolgen. Auch kann vorgesehen sein, daß der motorische Antrieb 4 nur für die Bewegung von der Einfallstellung in die Aushebestellung und Überhubstellung wirksam ist Die Bewegung von der Aushebestellung zurück in die Einfallstellung kann dann auf andere Weise, wie z. B. durch eine Feder, realisiert sein.In the embodiment shown here, the displacement of the pawl 3 is realized from its incident position in the Aushebestellung means of a motor drive 4. Instead of the motor drive 4, the movement can also be done manually, so in a mechanical manner. Also, it can be provided that the motor drive 4 is effective only for the movement of the incident position in the raising position and overstroke position. The movement of the picking back to the position of incidence can then in other ways, such. B. be realized by a spring.

Der motorische Antrieb 4 weist hier und vorzugsweise einen elektrischen Motor 5 und ein Getriebe 6 auf. Das Getriebe 6 weist eine Schnecke 7 und mehrere Zahnräder 8, 9 auf, die so angeordnet sind, daß die Sperrklinke 3 hier und vorzugsweise von der Einfallstellung in die Aushebestellung bewegbar ist. In Fig. 1 ist nicht erkennbar, daß sich dazu auf der Unterseite des Zahnrades 9 ein Mitnehmer befindet, der in eine ebenfalls unterhalb des Zahnrades 9 liegende Führung an der Sperrklinke 3 eingreift. Das ist aber das Funktionsprinzip des Standes der Technik, beispielsweise aus der DE 39 32 268 C2 oder DE 196 14 122 A1 . Darauf darf verwiesen werden. Anstelle des elektromotorischen Antriebs kann auch ein pneumatischer oder ein hydraulischer Antrieb vorgesehen sein.The motor drive 4 here and preferably has an electric motor 5 and a transmission 6. The gear 6 has a worm 7 and a plurality of gears 8, 9, which are arranged so that the pawl 3 here and preferably from the incident position in the Aushebestellung is movable. In Fig. 1 is not apparent that there is a driver on the underside of the gear 9, which engages in a guide also located below the gear 9 on the pawl 3. But that is the principle of operation of the prior art, for example from the DE 39 32 268 C2 or DE 196 14 122 A1 , It may be referred to. Instead of the electromotive drive and a pneumatic or a hydraulic drive can be provided.

Desweiteren weist das Kraftfahrzeugschloß 1 einen Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 auf, dessen Bewegung auf die Bewegung der Sperrklinke 3 abgestimmt ist. Der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 ist hier und vorzugsweise so angeordnet und mit dem motorischen Antrieb 4 gekoppelt, daß er mit der Schloßfalle 2 formschlüssig in Eingriff kommt, sobald die Sperrklinke 3 die Schloßfalle 2 freigegeben hat. Eine weitere Bewegung des motorischen Antriebs 4, die auch die Sperrklinke 3 in ihre Überhubstellung bewegt (Fig. 2), führt dazu, daß der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 die Schloßfalle 2 zwangsweise in Richtung der Freigabestellung der Schloßfalle 2 verlagert. Die Bewegung der Sperrklinke 3 von der Aushebestellung in die Überhubstellung ist somit der Teil der Bewegung, der bzgl. des Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 an der Schloßfalle 2 wirksam ist.Furthermore, the motor vehicle lock 1 has a forced opening mechanism 10 whose movement is matched to the movement of the pawl 3. The forced opening mechanism 10 is here and preferably arranged and coupled to the motor drive 4 that it comes into positive engagement with the latch 2 as soon as the pawl 3 has released the latch 2. Another movement of the motor drive 4, which also moves the pawl 3 in its overstroke position ( Fig. 2 ), causes the forced-opening mechanism 10, the latch 2 displaced forcibly in the direction of the release position of the latch 2. The Movement of the pawl 3 from the Aushebestellung in the overstroke position is thus the part of the movement with respect to the forced-opening mechanism 10 on the latch 2 is effective.

Für die Erfindung ist es jedoch nicht zwangsläufig notwendig, daß die Sperrklinke 3 eine Überhubstellung aufweist. Die Bewegung, die dazu führt, daß der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 formschlüssig mit der Schloßfalle 2 oder einem mit der Schloßfalle 2 bewegungsgekoppelten Element in Eingriff kommt, kann auch eine Weiterbewegung des Antriebs 4 der Sperrklinke 3 nach dem Erreichen der Aushebestellung der Sperrklinke 3 sein. Die Sperrklinke 3 kann in diesem Fall in ihrer Aushebestellung verharren.For the invention, however, it is not necessarily necessary that the pawl 3 has an overstroke position. The movement, which causes the forced opening mechanism 10 positively engages the latch 2 or a movement-coupled with the latch element 2 element can also be a further movement of the drive 4 of the pawl 3 after reaching the release position of the pawl 3. The pawl 3 can remain in this case in their Aushebestellung.

Da die Sperrklinke 3 beim Schließen der Kraftfahrzeugtür üblicherweise in ihre Überhubstellung verlagert wird, kommt der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 auch bei der Verlagerung der Schloßfalle 2 in die Hauptschließstellung mit der Schloßfalle 2 formschlüssig in Eingriff. Wenn der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 an der Sperrklinke 3 angeordnet oder entsprechend mit dieser bewegungsgekoppelt ist, wird die Sperrklinke 3 mittels des Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 von der Schloßfalle 2 in Richtung der Einfallstellung verlagert, so daß der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 hier auch als Zwangs-Schließmechanismus dient und somit den Einfall der Sperrklinke 3 in die Einfallstellung sicherstellt.Since the pawl 3 is usually displaced when closing the motor vehicle door in its overstroke position, the forced opening mechanism 10 is also in the displacement of the latch 2 in the main closed position with the latch 2 in a form-fitting engagement. When the forced opening mechanism 10 is arranged on the pawl 3 or is coupled thereto in accordance with movement, the pawl 3 is displaced by the forced opening mechanism 10 of the lock latch 2 in the direction of the incidence position, so that the forced opening mechanism 10 is also referred to as compulsory Closing mechanism is used and thus ensures the incidence of the pawl 3 in the incident position.

Zusätzlich weist das Kraftfahrzeugschloß 1 ein Haltemittel 11 auf, das verhindert, daß die Schloßfalle 2 nach der Freigabe durch die Sperrklinke 3 in die Hauptschließstellung zurückgedrückt wird. Das Haltemittel 11 ist hier und vorzugsweise als Feder ausgeführt, die die Schloßfalle 3 in Richtung der Freigabestellung belastet Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, daß die Schloßfalle 3 nicht von selbst, d. h. aufgrund einer Belastung durch auf der Klappe aufliegenden Schnee o. dg1. wieder in ihre Hauptschließstellung zurückkehrt. Zudem wird durch die Feder erreicht, daß die Schloßfalle 2 nach der Überwindung einer anfänglichen Blockade mittels des Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 in die Freigabestellung bewegt wird.In addition, the motor vehicle lock 1 has a holding means 11, which prevents the latch 2 is pushed back after release by the pawl 3 in the main closed position. The holding means 11 is here and preferably designed as a spring, which loads the latch 3 in the direction of the release position This ensures that the latch 3 does not by itself, d. H. due to a load by resting on the flap snow o. dg1. returns to its main closing position. In addition, it is achieved by the spring that the lock catch 2 is moved to overcoming an initial blockage by means of the forced opening mechanism 10 in the release position.

Der Sperrklinke 3 ist ebenfalls eine Feder zugeordnet, die die Sperrklinke 3 in Richtung ihrer Einfallstellung belastet. Im hier gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind das Haltemittel 11 für die Schloßfalle 2 und die Feder für die Sperrklinke 3 ein und dieselbe Feder. Es kann sich hierbei jedoch auch um verschiedene Elemente handeln.The pawl 3 is also associated with a spring which loads the pawl 3 in the direction of their Einfallstellung. In the embodiment shown here are the holding means 11 for the latch 2 and the spring for the pawl 3 one and the same spring. However, these can also be different elements.

Der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 ist hier als Mitnehmer ausgeführt, der mit einem Gegenstück 12 an der Schloßfalle 2 wechselwirkt. Beim Gegenstück 12 handelt es sich um eine Anlagefläche, an der der Mitnehmer formschlüssig zur Anlage kommt, wodurch die Schloßfalle 2 in Richtung der Freigabestellung verlagert wird. Der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 kann anstelle des Mitnehmers auch einen Hebel, eine Kniehebelmechanik, eine Steuerkurve, einen Seilzug, ein Zahnrad o. dgl. aufweisen. Wichtig ist dabei nur, daß der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 auf die Bewegung der Sperrklinke 3 abgestimmt ist und daran angepaßt mit der Schloßfalle 2 formschlüssig in Eingriff kommt.The forced opening mechanism 10 is designed here as a driver, which interacts with a counterpart 12 on the latch 2. The counterpart 12 is a contact surface on which the carrier comes into positive engagement with the system, as a result of which the latch 2 is displaced in the direction of the release position. The forced opening mechanism 10 may also have a lever, a toggle mechanism, a control cam, a cable, a gear o. The like. Instead of the driver. It is only important that the forced opening mechanism 10 is matched to the movement of the pawl 3 and adapted to the latch 2 is positively engaged.

Im hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 an der Sperrklinke 3 selbst angeordnet. Damit ist die Abstimmung zwischen der Bewegung der Sperrklinke 3 und der Bewegung des Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 auf besonders einfache Weise sichergestellt. Der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 kann jedoch auch an oder in einem anderen Teil der Schloßmechanik angeordnet sein. Er sollte jedoch auch dann zumindest mittelbar von dem motorischen Antrieb 4 der Sperrklinke 3 antreibbar sein und keinen eigenen Antrieb aufweisen.In the embodiment shown here, the forced opening mechanism 10 is arranged on the pawl 3 itself. Thus, the coordination between the movement of the pawl 3 and the movement of the forced-opening mechanism 10 is ensured in a particularly simple manner. However, the forced opening mechanism 10 can also be arranged on or in another part of the lock mechanism. However, it should then at least indirectly be driven by the motor drive 4 of the pawl 3 and have no own drive.

Das Kraftfahrzeugschloß 1 weist zudem noch ein Haltemittel 13 auf, durch welches verhindert wird, daß die Sperrklinke 3 aus ihrer Aushebestellung zurück in die Einfallstellung fällt, so lange die Schloßfalle 2 nicht zurück in die Hauptschließstellung bewegt worden ist. Das Haltemittel 13 ist hier als Anlagefläche an der Schloßfalle 2 vorgesehen, an der die Sperrklinke 3 unter der Federkraft der Feder 11 anliegt, die aber das Wiedereinfallen der Sperrklinke 3 verhindert.The motor vehicle lock 1 also has a holding means 13, by which prevents the pawl 3 falls from its release position back into the position of incidence, as long as the latch 2 has not been moved back to the main closed position. The holding means 13 is provided here as a contact surface on the latch 2, on which the pawl 3 rests under the spring force of the spring 11, but prevents the re-falling of the pawl 3.

Das hier gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt ein Kraftfahrzeugschloß 1 mit nur einer Schließstellung, nämlich der Hauptschließstellung. Die Lehre kann aber genauso bei mehrrastigen Kraftfahrzeugschlössern Verwendung finden.The embodiment shown here shows a motor vehicle lock 1 with only one closed position, namely the main closing position. However, the teaching can also be used in multi-door motor vehicle locks.

Allerdings ist die Wirkung des Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 dann auf eine Schließstellung, vorzugsweise die Hauptschließstellung beschränkt.However, the effect of the forced opening mechanism 10 is then limited to a closed position, preferably the main closed position.

Fig. 4 zeigt ein mehrrastiges Kraftfahrzeugschloß 1 bei dem die Sperrklinke 3 Teil einer Sperrklinkenanordnung 14 ist Die Sperrklinkenanordnung 14 hält die Schloßfalle 2 mit einer Hauptrast 15 in ihrer Hauptschließstellung und mit einer Vorrast 16 in ihrer Vorschließstellung. Hierzu weist die Sperrklinkenauordnung 14 neben der Sperrklinke 3 eine Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 auf. Die Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 weist hier zwei Hebel 18, 19 auf, wobei die Hauptrast 15 und die Vorrast 16 an dem ersten Hebel 18 angeordnet sind und der zweite Hebel 19 zur Kopplung der Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 mit der Schloßfalle 2 dient. Das Funktionsprinzip dieses Kraftfahrzeugschlosses 1 ist bereits aus der DE 103 12 304.0 bekannt, auf die diesbezüglich nochmals verwiesen und deren Offenbarungsgehalt durch Bezugnahme aufgenommen wird. Bevorzugte konstruktive Varianten dieses Standes der Technik sollen auch in Kombination mit der vorliegend beschriebenen Erfindung bevorzugt Anwendung finden. Fig. 4 shows a mehrrastiges motor vehicle lock 1 in which the pawl 3 is part of a pawl assembly 14 The pawl assembly 14 holds the latch 2 with a main catch 15 in its main closed position and a pre-latch 16 in its Vorschließstellung. For this purpose, the pawl arrangement 14 has a pawl kinematics 17 in addition to the pawl 3. The pawl kinematics 17 here has two levers 18, 19, wherein the main catch 15 and the preliminary catch 16 are arranged on the first lever 18 and the second lever 19 serves to couple the pawl kinematics 17 with the latch 2. The operating principle of this motor vehicle lock 1 is already out of the DE 103 12 304.0 to which reference is again made in this regard and the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference. Preferred structural variants of this prior art should also preferably be used in combination with the invention described herein.

Hier und vorzugsweise weist die Sperrklinkenanordnung 14 eine Haltestellung auf in der die Schloßfalle 2 in ihrer Hauptschließstellung gehalten wird. In dieser Haltestellung ist die Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 durch die Sperrklinke 3 blockiert. Die Verlagerung der Schloßfalle 2 aus der Hauptschlielistellung in Richtung ihrer Freigabestellung ist insofern nur möglich, wenn die Sperrklinke 3 in ihre Aushebestellung bezüglich der Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 verlagert ist. Mit der Verlagerung der Schloßfalle 2 aus der Hauptschließstellung heraus in Richtung der Freigabestellung wird auch die mit der Schloßfalle 2 bewegungsgekoppelte Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 aus der Haltestellung in Richtung der Freigabestellung verstelltHere and preferably, the pawl assembly 14 has a holding position in which the latch 2 is held in its main closed position. In this holding position, the pawl kinematics 17 is blocked by the pawl 3. The displacement of the latch 2 from the Hauptschlielistellung in the direction of its release position is insofar only possible if the pawl 3 is displaced in its Aushebestellung with respect to the pawl kinematics 17. With the displacement of the latch 2 from the main closed position out in the direction of the release position and the movement with the latch 2 motion-coupled pawl kinematics 17 is adjusted from the holding position in the direction of the release position

Die Sperrklinke 3 weist den Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 hier in Form eines an der Sperrklinke 3 angeordneten Hebelarms auf. Der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 steht in Überhubstellung der Sperrklinke 3 mit dem ersten Hebel 18 der Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 formschlüssig in Eingriff und verlagert den ersten Hebel 18 so, daß die Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 die Schloßfalle 2 in Richtung ihrer Freigabestellung verlagert (Fig. 4). Der erste Hebel 18 wirkt hier als das mit der Schloßfalle 2 bewegungsgekoppelte Element, das mit dem Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 formschlüssig in Eingriff kommt. Bei der Verlagerung der Schloßfalle 2 aus der Vorschließstellung in die Freigabestellung ist der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 nicht wirksam.The pawl 3 has the forced opening mechanism 10 here in the form of a lever arm arranged on the pawl 3. The forced opening mechanism 10 is positively engaged in overstroke position of the pawl 3 with the first lever 18 of the pawl kinematics 17 and displaces the first lever 18 so that the pawl kinematics 17 displaces the latch 2 in the direction of its release position ( Fig. 4 ). The first lever 18 acts here as the movement-coupled with the lock latch 2 element, which positively engages with the forced opening mechanism 10. When relocating the latch 2 from the prelocking in the release position of the forced opening mechanism 10 is not effective.

Der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 dient hier und bevorzugt auch als Zwangs-Schließmechanismus (Fig. 5), indem der Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 bei der Verlagerung der Schloßfalle 2 von der Freigabestellung in Richtung der Hauptschließstellung mittels der Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 so verlagert wird, daß dadurch die Sperrklinke 3 in Richtung ihrer Einfallstellung verlagert wird. Dies geschieht dadurch, daß der Hebel 18 der Sperrklinkenkinematik 17 beim Schließen der Schloßfalle 2 mit dem Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 formschlüssig in Eingriff kommt und mittels des Zwangs-Öffnungsmechanismus 10 die Sperrklinke 3 in Richtung ihrer Einfallstellung verlagert.The forced opening mechanism 10 serves here and preferably also as a forced closing mechanism ( Fig. 5 ) By the forced opening mechanism 10 is displaced in the displacement of the latch 2 from the release position in the direction of the main closed position by means of the pawl kinematics 17 so that thereby the pawl 3 is displaced in the direction of their Einfallstellung. This happens because the lever 18 of the pawl kinematics 17 when closing the latch 2 with the positive opening mechanism 10 positively engages and displaced by means of the positive opening mechanism 10, the pawl 3 in the direction of their Einfallstellung.

Schließlich darf noch auf die zeitgleich von der Anmelderin beim Deutschen Patent- und Markenamt eingereichte deutsche Patentanmeldung hingewiesen werden, deren Inhalt in vollem Umfange zum Gegenstand der vorliegenden Patentanmeldung gemacht wird. Dies betrifft insbesondere die dort beschriebene Ausgestaltung der Open-By-Wire-Funktion (OBW) sowie die Anwendung eines Winkelsensors zur Überwachung und/oder zur Steuerung der Funktionselemente Schloßfalle 2 und Sperrklinke 3.Finally, reference may also be made to the German patent application filed at the same time by the Applicant with the German Patent and Trademark Office, the content of which is the subject of the present patent application in its entirety. This relates in particular to the configuration of the open-by-wire function (OBW) described therein as well as the use of an angle sensor for monitoring and / or for controlling the functional elements latch 2 and pawl 3.
