Abstract

Disclosed is a lateral door opening of a motor vehicle, which is delimited at the bottom by a side sill (1) comprising a supporting structure (2) and an outer side panel (3). Said outer side panel (3) is hinged to the supporting structure (2) via at least one quadruple joint (4, 5) so as to be movable from an effective position in which said outer side panel (3) improves the aerodynamic properties of the motor vehicle into a boarding position in which the side sill (1) is narrower than in the effective position from the perspective of the transversal direction of the vehicle, thus making it easier for a passenger to get in and out through the door opening as the passenger's legs have to be raised over the side sill (1) when getting in and out. The narrower the side sill, the easier it is to get in and out. According to the invention, the functions of the supporting structure (2) of the side sill (1) regarding stiffness and crash are not affected.

Description

Kraftfahrzeug mit einem SeitenschwellerMotor vehicle with a side skirts
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem Seitenschweller.The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a side skirts.
Aus der DE 36 13 301 A1 ist ein Personenkraftwagen mit einer Seitenverkleidung im Bereich eines Seitenschwellers bekannt. Die Seitenverkleidung ist über Stellelemen¬ te fahrgeschwindigkeitsabhängig ein- und ausfahrbar. Bei höheren Fahrgeschwin¬ digkeiten verbessert die Seitenverkleidung in der ausgefahrenen Stellung die Aero¬ dynamik des Kraftfahrzeugs, während sie bei stehendem Kraftfahrzeug in der einge¬ fahrenen Stellung die Optik des Fahrzeugs nicht beeinträchtigt.From DE 36 13 301 A1 a passenger car with a side panel in the region of a side sill is known. The side paneling can be moved in and out via positioning elements depending on the driving speed. At higher driving speeds, the side trim in the extended position improves the aerodynamics of the motor vehicle, while it does not impair the optics of the vehicle when the motor vehicle is stationary in the lowered position.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einem Seitenschweller zu schaf¬ fen, das während der Fahrt eine gute Aerodynamik aufweist, und der einen guten Ein- und Ausstiegskomfort gewährleistet.The object of the invention is to provide a motor vehicle with a side skirts that has good aerodynamics while driving and that ensures good entry and exit comfort.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Kraftfahrzeug mit einem Seitenschweller mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a motor vehicle having a side sill with the features of patent claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß ist eine seitliche Türausschnittsöffnung eines Kraftfahrzeugs un¬ ten durch einen Seitenschweller begrenzt, der eine tragende Struktur und eine äu¬ ßere Seitenverkleidung aufweist. Die äußere Seitenverkleidung ist über mindestens ein Viergelenk an der tragenden Struktur angelenkt, sodass diese aus einer Wirk¬ stellung, in der sie die aerodynamischen Eigenschaften des Kraftfahrzeugs verbes¬ sert, in eine Einstiegsstellung veriagerbar ist, in der der Seitenschweller in Fahr¬ zeugquerrichtung gesehen schmaler als in der Wirkstellung ist, sodass das Ein- und Aussteigen eines Passagiers durch die Türausschnittsöffnung erleichtert wird. Denn beim Ein- und Aussteigen müssen die Beine des Passagiers über den Seiten- schweller gehoben werden. Je schmaler dieser dabei ist, um so leichter ist das Ein- und Aussteigen. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung werden die Funktionen der tragenden Struktur des Seitenschwellers hinsichtlich Steifigkeit und Crash nicht beeinträchtigt.According to the invention, a lateral door opening of a motor vehicle is bounded below by a side sill, which has a load-bearing structure and an outer side paneling. The outer side panel is hinged to the supporting structure via at least one four-bar linkage, so that it can be displaced from an operative position in which it improves the aerodynamic properties of the motor vehicle into an entry position, in which the side skirts narrower in vehicle transverse direction than in the operative position, so that the inputs and Get out of a passenger through the door opening is facilitated. Because when entering and exiting the passenger's legs must be lifted over the side sill. The narrower it is, the easier it is to get in and out. In the solution according to the invention, the functions of the supporting structure of the side skirt are not impaired in terms of rigidity and crash.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand von Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments are the subject of dependent claims.
In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt, anhand des¬ sen die Erfindung im folgenden näher beschrieben wird. Die einzelnen Figuren zei¬ gen in schematischer Darstellungsweise:In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown, based on which sen¬ the invention will be described in more detail below. The individual figures show in a schematic representation:
Fig. 1 einen Schnitt durch einen Seitenschweller eines Personenkraftwagens mit einer äußeren Seitenverkleidung in einer Wirkstellung,1 shows a section through a side skirts of a passenger car with an outer side panel in an operative position,
Fig. 2 einen Schnitt durch den Seitenschweller aus Fig. 1 mit der äußeren Sei¬ tenverkleidung in einer Einstiegsstellung und2 shows a section through the side skirts from FIG. 1 with the outer side panel in an entry position and FIG
Fig. 3 eine Prinzipdarstellung einer mechanischen Kopplung zur Verlagerung der äußeren Seitenverkleidung in Abhängigkeit einer Verlagerung einer Seitentür des Personenkraftwagens.Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a mechanical coupling to the displacement of the outer side panel in response to a displacement of a side door of the passenger car.
In Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 ist ein Seitenschweller 1 eines Personenkraftwagens unterhalb einer Türausschnittsöffnung dargestellt. Der Seitenschweller 1 besteht aus einer tragenden Struktur 2 in Schalenbauweise und einer äußeren Seitenverkleidung 3. Die äußere Seitenverkleidung 3 ist über zwei Lenker 4 und 5, die als Viergelenk dienen, an der tragenden Struktur 2 angelenkt. In Fig. 1 befindet sich die äußere Seitenverkleidung 3 in einer Wirkstellung, während sie sich in Fig. 2 in einer nach unten und zur tragenden Struktur 2 hin geklappten Einstiegsstellung befindet. In der Einstiegsstellung liegt die äußere Seitenverkleidung 3 an der tragenden Struktur 2 an.In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, a side sill 1 of a passenger car is shown below a door cutout opening. The side sill 1 consists of a supporting structure 2 in shell construction and an outer side panel 3. The outer side panel 3 is hinged to the supporting structure 2 via two links 4 and 5, which serve as a four-bar linkage. In Fig. 1, the outer side panel 3 is in an operative position, while it is in Fig. 2 in a folded down and the supporting structure 2 towards entry position. In the entry position, the outer side panel 3 abuts against the supporting structure 2.
Die Türausschnittsöffnung oberhalb des Seitenschwellers 1 ist durch eine verschwenkbare Seitentür 6 verschließbar, die sich in Fig. 1 in einer geschlossenen Stellung befindet. Wenn die Seitentür 6 geöffnet wird, verschwenkt die äußere Sei¬ tenverkleidung 3 aus der Wirkstellung in die Einstiegsstellung. Umgekehrt ver¬ schwenkt die äußere Seitenverkleidung beim Schließen der Seitentür 6 aus der Ein¬ stiegsstellung in die Wirkstellung.The door opening above the side sill 1 can be closed by a pivotable side door 6, which in Fig. 1 in a closed Position is. When the side door 6 is opened, the outer side panel 3 pivots out of the operative position into the entry position. Conversely, when the side door 6 is closed, the outer side panel pivots out of the entry position into the operative position.
Der dazu erforderliche Mechanismus ist in Fig. 3 schematisch dargestellt: Der obere Lenker 4 ist fest mit der Scharnierachse 7 verbunden, die an der tragenden Struktur 2 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Auf der Scharnierachse 7 ist ein Kegelrad 8 befestigt, das mit einem weiteren Kegelrad 9 im Eingriff ist. Dieses weitere Kegelrad 9 ist an einem unteren Ende einer drehbaren Welle 10 mit dieser verbunden, die an ihrem oberen Ende mit einem Kreuzgelenk 11 verbunden ist. Das Kreuzgelenk 11 ist mit einem Bolzen 12 eines Scharniers verbunden, der an der Seitentür 6 angebracht ist, und über den die Seitentür 6 schwenkbar an einer Karosserie des Personenkraft¬ wagens angelenkt ist.The mechanism required for this purpose is shown schematically in Fig. 3: The upper link 4 is fixedly connected to the hinge axis 7, which is pivotally mounted on the supporting structure 2. On the hinge axis 7, a bevel gear 8 is fixed, which is in engagement with a further bevel gear 9. This further bevel gear 9 is connected at a lower end of a rotatable shaft 10 with this, which is connected at its upper end with a universal joint 11. The universal joint 11 is connected to a bolt 12 of a hinge, which is attached to the side door 6, and via which the side door 6 is pivotally connected to a body of the passenger car.
Auf diese Weise verschwenkt die äußere Seitenverkleidung 3 aufgrund einer ,me- • chanischen Kopplung beim Öffnen der Seitentür 6 automatisch aus der Wirkstellung in die Einstiegsstellung, in der der Seitenschweller 1 um ca. 50 mm schmaler ist als in der Wirkstellung. Dadurch wird das Ein- und Aussteigen von Passagieren durch die Türausschnittsöffnung erleichtert. Zudem befindet sich die äußere Seitenverklei¬ dung in der Einstiegsstellung in einer nach unten verlagerten Position, sodass die Gefahr reduziert wird, sich oder seine Kleidung beim Ein- oder Aussteigen an der dreckigen äußeren Seitenverkleidung 3 zu beschmutzen. In this way, the outer side panel 3 pivots automatically due to a • mechanical coupling when opening the side door 6 from the operative position in the entry position, in which the side sill 1 is narrower by about 50 mm than in the operative position. This facilitates the entry and exit of passengers through the door opening. In addition, the outer Seitenverklei¬ tion is in the entry position in a downwardly displaced position, so that the risk is reduced to dirty or his clothes when entering or exiting the dirty outer side panel 3.
