Description

Vorrichtung zum Bewegen einer Heckklappe eines Kraftfahrzeugs, Heck eines Kraftfahrzeugs und Verfahren zum Schließen einer Heckklappe ei¬ nes Kraftfahrzeugs Device for moving a tailgate of a motor vehicle, rear of a motor vehicle and method for closing a tailgate ei¬ nes motor vehicle
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Bewegen einer Heckklappe eines Kraftfahrzeugs, wobei die Heckklappe eine Schließstellung und eine von der Schließstellung abweichende Zwischenstellung einnehmen kann. Die Erfindung betrifft weiter ein Heck eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit einer Heckklappe und einer Heckklappenöffnung, wobei die Heckklappenöffnung eine Öffnungskante und die Heckklappe einen Heckklappenrand aufweist, wobei die Heckklappe eine Schließstellung und eine von der Schließstellung abweichende Zwischenstel¬ lung einnehmen kann. Darüber hinaus betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Schließen einer Heckklappe eines Kraftfahrzeugs, wobei die Heckklappe eine Öffnungsstellung, eine Schließstellung und eine von der Schließstellung abwei- chende Zwischenstellung einnehmen kann.The invention relates to a device for moving a tailgate of a motor vehicle, wherein the tailgate can assume a closed position and a deviating from the closed position intermediate position. The invention further relates to a rear of a motor vehicle having a tailgate and a tailgate opening, wherein the tailgate opening has an opening edge and the tailgate has a tailgate edge, wherein the tailgate can assume a closed position and a deviating from the closed position Zwischenstel¬ ment. In addition, the invention relates to a method for closing a tailgate of a motor vehicle, wherein the tailgate can assume an open position, a closed position and an intermediate position deviating from the closed position.
Bei Vorrichtungen zum Bewegen einer Heckklappe eines Kraftfahrzeugs nach dem Stand der Technik kommt es leicht zu einem Einklemmen oder Quetschen von menschlichen Körperteilen, insbesondere der Finger und Hände zwischen Heckklappenöffnung und Heckklappe. Um dies zu verhindern, wurden bereits verschiedene Einklemmschutzsysteme entwickelt. Diese funktionieren entwe¬ der mit einer Sensorik, wie z. B. mit Infrarot- oder Ultraschallsensoren oder me¬ chanischen Kontakten, bzw. im Falle von motorgesteuerten Vorrichtungen zur Bewegung der Heckklappe mit einer zeit- oder ereignisabhängigen Regelung des Motorstroms. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Verbesserung der Bewegung der Heckklappe und eine Verbesserung der Gestaltung des Hecks eines Kraft¬ fahrzeugs zu erreichen, um damit Teile des menschlichen Körpers, insbeson¬ dere Finger und Hände, noch sicherer vor dem Einklemmen zu schützen.In devices for moving a tailgate of a motor vehicle according to the prior art, it is easy to pinch or squeeze of human body parts, especially the fingers and hands between the tailgate opening and tailgate. To prevent this, various anti-pinch systems have already been developed. These work entwe¬ with a sensor such. B. with infrared or ultrasonic sensors or me¬ chanical contacts, or in the case of motor-controlled devices for moving the tailgate with a time- or event-dependent control of the motor current. The invention has for its object to achieve an improvement in the movement of the tailgate and an improvement in the design of the rear of a Kraft¬ vehicle, so as to protect parts of the human body, insbeson dere fingers and hands even more secure against trapping.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung zum Be¬ wegen einer Heckklappe mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 , durch ein Heck eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils von Anspruch 4 und durch ein Verfahren zum Schlie- ßen einer Heckklappe eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit den Merkmalen des kennzeich¬ nenden Teils von Anspruch 6.This object is achieved by a device for Be¬ a tailgate with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1, by a rear of a motor vehicle having the features of the characterizing part of claim 4 and by a method for closing a tailgate of a motor vehicle with the features of the characterizing part of claim 6.
Der Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, sicherzustellen, dass in der Zwischenstellung umlaufend überall ein im wesentlichen konstanter Abstand zwischen der Heckklappe und der Heckklappenöffnung eingehalten wird. Damit wird verhindert, dass in allen Positionen der Heckklappe zwischen Öffnungs¬ stellung und Schließstellung ein so großer Abstand zwischen Heckklappe und Heckklappenöffnung besteht, dass auch im Bereich eines Scharniers, mit dem die Heckklappe üblicherweise mit dem übrigen Kraftfahrzeug verbunden ist, keine Einklemmgefahr für Finger und Hände besteht. Dies ist eine deutliche Verbesserung gegenüber dem Stand der Technik, wo der Abstand zwischen Heckklappe und Heckklappenöffnung im Bereich des Scharniers immer deut¬ lich geringerer ist als in dem vom Scharnier abgewandten Bereich der Heck¬ klappe, z.B. nahe eines im unteren Bereich der Heckklappenöffnung liegenden Heckklappenschlosses.The basic idea of the invention is to ensure that in the intermediate position all around a substantially constant distance between the tailgate and the tailgate opening is maintained everywhere. This prevents that in all positions of the tailgate between Öffnungs¬ position and closed position, there is such a large distance between the tailgate and tailgate opening, that even in the region of a hinge with which the tailgate is usually connected to the rest of the motor vehicle, no risk of entrapment for fingers and Hands exists. This is a clear improvement over the prior art, where the distance between the tailgate and the tailgate opening in the region of the hinge is always significantly lower than in the region of the tailgate facing away from the hinge, e.g. near a tailgate lock located in the lower area of the tailgate opening.
Zwischen der Öffnungsstellung und der Zwischenstellung der Heckklappe kann die Heckklappe weiter in der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Weise ver¬ schwenkt werden, was den weiteren Einsatz bereits bestehender Stellmittel für diesen Stellbereich erlaubt. Bevorzugt ist, wenn die Heckklappe zwischen der Zwischenstellung und der Schließstellung eine Hubdifferenz aufweist, die zwischen 1 cm und 5 cm ist, bzw. wenn in der Zwischenstellung der Abstand zwischen Heckklappenrand und Öffnungskante im wesentlichen überall zwischen 1 cm und 5 cm ist. Mit einer solchen Hubdifferenz bzw. einem solchen Abstand wird einerseits verhin¬ dert, dass Finger oder Hände in der Zwischenstellung eingeklemmt werden können, andererseits ist der Heckklappenbereich dann bereits den Witterungs¬ einflüssen nicht mehr vollständig schutzlos ausgesetzt. Besonders bevorzugt ist, wenn die Heckklappe zwischen der Zwischenstellung und der Schließstel- lung eine Hubdifferenz aufweist, die etwa 2 cm beträgt, bzw. wenn in der Zwi¬ schenstellung der Abstand zwischen Heckklappenrand und Öffnungskante im wesentlichen überall etwa 2 cm ist. Dies ist der für einen Einklemmschutz¬ schutz von Fingern und Händen in der Regel angemessene Abstand.Between the open position and the intermediate position of the tailgate, the tailgate can be further pivoted ver in the manner known from the prior art, which allows the further use of already existing actuating means for this adjustment range. It is preferred if the tailgate between the intermediate position and the closed position has a stroke difference which is between 1 cm and 5 cm, or if in the intermediate position, the distance between the tailgate edge and opening edge is substantially everywhere between 1 cm and 5 cm. With such a stroke difference or such a distance on the one hand verhin¬ changed that fingers or hands can be clamped in the intermediate position, on the other hand, the tailgate area is then already exposed to the weather influences no longer completely defenseless. It is particularly preferred if the tailgate between the intermediate position and the closed position has a stroke difference, which is about 2 cm, or if in the Zwi¬ tween the distance between the tailgate edge and opening edge is substantially everywhere about 2 cm. This is the distance that is usually adequate for anti-pinch protection of fingers and hands.

Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 a, 2 b zeigen das Heck 10 eines nicht weiter dargestellten Kraftfahrzeugs mit einer Heckklappe 12 und einer Heckklappenöffnung 18. Die Heckklappe 12 kann mittels einer Vorrichtung zur Bewegung der Heckklappe 12 gegenüber der Heckklappenöffnung bewegt werden. Von dieser Vorrichtung zur Bewegung der Heckklappe 12 sind hier Stellmittel 14 gezeigt, durch welche die Heckklappe 12 scharnierartig mit einem Dach 16 des Kraftfahrzeugs ver¬ bunden ist . Die Heckklappe 12 hat einen Heckklappenrand 13, die Heckklap- penöffnung 18 hat eine Öffnungskante 20 mit Öffnungskantenabschnitten 20a und 20b.Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 a, 2 b show the rear 10 of a motor vehicle not shown with a tailgate 12 and a tailgate opening 18. The tailgate 12 can by means of a device for moving the tailgate 12 are moved relative to the tailgate opening. Of this device for moving the tailgate 12 here adjusting means 14 are shown, through which the tailgate 12 is hingedly connected ver¬ with a roof 16 of the motor vehicle. The tailgate 12 has a tailgate edge 13, the tailgate opening 18 has an opening edge 20 with opening edge portions 20a and 20b.
Die Heckklappe 12 befindet sich je nach Betriebszustand in einer Öffnungsstel¬ lung 12a, in einer Zwischenstellung 12b oder in einer Schließstellung 12c (ge- strichelte Darstellung). In der Öffnungsstellung 12a ist die Heckklappe 12 in bekannter Weise nach oben ausgestellt. In der Zwischenstellung 12b hat der Heckklappenrand 13 der Heckklappe 12 sowohl gegenüber dem Öffnungskan¬ tenabschnitt 20a als auch gegenüber dem Öffnungskantenabschnitt 20b einen Abstand, wobei der Abstand zwischen dem Heckklappenrand 13 und der Öff- nungskante 20 so groß ist, dass kein Einklemmen von Fingern oder Händen möglich ist. In der Schließstellung 12c liegt die Heckklappe 12 mit dem Heck¬ klappenrand 13 an den Öffnungskantenabschnitten 20a und 20b an. Zwischen der Zwischenstellung 12b und der Schließstellung 12c weist die Heckklappe 12 eine Hubdifferenz 22 auf.Depending on the operating state, the tailgate 12 is located in an opening position 12a, in an intermediate position 12b or in a closed position 12c (dashed representation). In the open position 12a, the tailgate 12 is issued in a known manner upwards. In the intermediate position 12b, the tailgate edge 13 of the tailgate 12 has a distance from both the opening channel 20a and the opening edge section 20b, the distance between the tailgate edge 13 and the opening edge 20 being so great that no pinching of fingers or fingers is possible Hands is possible. In the closed position 12c, the tailgate 12 abuts the rear edge flap 13 at the opening edge sections 20a and 20b. Between the intermediate position 12b and the closed position 12c, the tailgate 12 has a stroke difference 22.
Im folgenden soll das Verfahren zum Schließen einer Heckklappe detailliert dargestellt werden:In the following, the method for closing a tailgate will be described in detail:
In der Öffnungsstellung 12a ist die Heckklappe 12 nach oben ausgestellt. Sie wird dann durch eine Schwenkbewegung mittels der Stellmittel 14 in Pfeilrich¬ tung A in die Zwischenstellung 12b verschwenkt. In der Zwischenstellung 12b hat der Heckklappenrand 13 von der Öffnungskante 22 nun allseitig einen Ab¬ stand entsprechend der Hubdifferenz 22 (siehe insbesondere Figuren im Be¬ reich der Öffnungskantenabschnitte 20a und 20b), wobei die Hubdifferenz be- vorzugt zwischen 1cm und 5 cm beträgt. In dieser Phase des Schließvorgangs besteht also kein Risiko eines Einklemmens von Fingern oder Händen, da der Abstand zwischen Heckklappenrand 13 und Öffnungskante 22 zu jedem Zeit¬ punkt mindestens der Hubdifferenz 22 entspricht. Mit Erreichen der Zwischen¬ stellung 12b kann vorzugsweise bereits auch ein Verriegeln eines Schlosses der Heckklappe 12 verbunden sein. Damit ist zu diesem Zeitpunkt sowohl der Einfluß der Witterung auf das Fahrzeuginnere minimiert als auch ein ausrei¬ chender Diebstahlschutz erreicht.In the open position 12a, the tailgate 12 is turned up. It is then pivoted by a pivoting movement by means of the adjusting means 14 in the direction of arrow A in the intermediate position 12b. In the intermediate position 12b, the tailgate edge 13 now has a distance from the opening edge 22 on all sides corresponding to the stroke difference 22 (see in particular figures in the area of the opening edge portions 20a and 20b), the stroke difference preferably being between 1 cm and 5 cm. In this phase of closing so there is no risk of pinching fingers or hands, as the Distance between tailgate edge 13 and opening edge 22 at each Zeit¬ point at least the stroke difference 22 corresponds. When the intermediate position 12b is reached, latching of a lock of the tailgate 12 can preferably already be connected. Thus, both the influence of the weather on the vehicle interior is minimized at this time and a sufficient protection against theft is achieved.
In einem weiteren Schritt erfolgt eine lineare Verschiebung der Heckklappe 12 direkt oder indirekt mittels der Stellmittel 14 um die Hubdifferenz 22 in Pfeilrich- tung B von der Zwischenstellung 12b in die Schließstellung 12c. Die Verschie¬ bung der Heckklappe 12 kann über einen oder mehrere (nicht dargestellte) Mo¬ torantriebe erfolgen. Die Leistungen der Antriebe können dabei vorzugsweise so gesteuert werden, dass während des Überwindens der Hubdifferenz 22 ein besonders kraftarmes Schließen der Heckklappe 12 erreicht wird; damit wird auch in diesem Verfahrensschritt das Einklemmrisiko noch einmal reduziert. Mit Erreichen der Schließstellung 12c liegt der Heckklappenrand 13 dicht an den Öffnungskantenabschnitten 20a und 20b an. Der Schritt der linearen Verschie¬ bung der Heckklappe 12 kann beispielsweise auch erst dann ausgeführt wer¬ den, wenn das Fahrzeug gestartet ist und sichergestellt ist, dass sich alle Fahr- zeugpassagiere im Fahrzeug befinden und nicht mehr in den Spalt zwischen Heckklappenrand 13 und Öffnungskante 22 greifen können. In a further step, a linear displacement of the tailgate 12 takes place directly or indirectly by means of the adjusting means 14 about the stroke difference 22 in the direction of arrow B from the intermediate position 12b into the closed position 12c. The shifting of the tailgate 12 can take place via one or more motor drives (not shown). The power of the drives can preferably be controlled so that a particularly low-force closing of the tailgate 12 is achieved while overcoming the stroke difference 22; This also reduces the trapping risk in this process step. Upon reaching the closed position 12c of the tailgate edge 13 is close to the opening edge portions 20a and 20b. The step of linear displacement of the tailgate 12 can also be carried out, for example, only when the vehicle is started and it is ensured that all the vehicle passengers are in the vehicle and no longer into the gap between the tailgate edge 13 and the opening edge 22 can grab.
