Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung ist auf eine Betätigungsvorrichtung für ein Schloss nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 zum Öffnen und/oder Schließen eines beweglichen Teils eines Fahrzeugs, insbesondere einer Tür, einer Heckklappe oder dergleichen gerichtet. Dabei weist eine derartige Betätigungsvorrichtung eine durch einen Motor betätigbare Schutzklappe auf, die durch ein Federelement belastbar ist, und die zumindest zwei Stellungen einnehmen kann, nämlich eine Ruhestellung, in der die Schutzklappe bündig die Oberfläche des beweglichen Teils abschließt, wenn die Betätigunsvorrichtung an dem beweglichen Teil fixiert ist, und eine Betriebsstellung, bei der ein Benutzer in die Betätigungsvorrichtung eingreifen kann. Ferner ist in oder an der Gehäusekonstruktion der Betätigungsvorrichtung ein Betätigungselement zur Betätigung des Schlosses vorgesehen. Durch das Betätigungselement kann der Benutzer das Schloss Öffnen und/oder Schließen. Die gesamte Betätigungsvorrichtung kann derart in dem beweglichen Teil des Fahrzeugs eingelassen sein, dass sie eine glatte Front, insbesondere durch die Schutzklappe, mit der Außenseite des beweglichen Teils bildet, wodurch sie im Wesentlichen verborgen in dem beweglichen Teil vorgesehen ist. Eine Betätigung des Schlosses findet durch den Benutzer nur dann statt, wenn sich die Schutzklappe in ihrer Betriebsstellung befindet. Das eigentliche Betätigungselement ist somit versteckt innerhalb der Betätigungsvorrichtung angeordnet.The present invention is directed to an actuating device for a lock according to the preamble of
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist die europäische Patentschrift
Ausgehend von dem zuvor genannten Stand der Technik ist es daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine elektrische oder elektromechanische Betätigungsvorrichtung für ein Schloss zu schaffen, die einen hohen Bedienungskomfort aufweist und energiesparsam ist. Außerdem soll die Betätigungsvorrichtung auch bei einem Stromausfall oder einem Defekt in der Elektrik bzw. Elektronik funktionsfähig bleiben.Based on the aforementioned prior art, it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an electrical or electromechanical actuator for a lock, which has a high ease of use and is energy efficient. In addition, the actuator should remain functional even in the event of a power failure or a defect in the electrical system or electronics.
Die vorliegende Aufgabe wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Betätigungsvorrichtung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst, denen folgende besondere Bedeutung zukommt.The present object is achieved by the actuating device according to the invention with the characterizing features of
Damit die erfindungsgemäße Betätigungsvorrichtung auch bei einem Stromausfall funktionsfähig bleibt, muss die Schutzklappe auch manuell betätigbar sein. Zu diesem Zweck muss der Benutzer die Schutzklappe auch manuell drehen bzw. schwenken können, um in die Betätigungsvorrichtung eingreifen zu können. Nachdem der Benutzer das Schloss bedient hat, um das bewegliche Teil zu öffnen oder zu schließen, muss sich die Schutzklappe selbstständig in ihre Ruhestellung bewegen, da ansonsten die Betätigungsvorrichtung offen bleibt, wodurch zum Beispiel unangenehme Fahrtgeräusche entstehen können. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Schutzklappe mit einer Feder belastet, wodurch sie auch bei einem Stromausfall von ihrer Betriebsstellung selbstständig in die Ruhestellung überführbar ist. Somit ist auch die volle Funktionsfähigkeit der Betätigungsvorrichtung bei einem Stromausfall gewährleistet. Allerdings folgt daraus für den Normalbetrieb, dass heißt wenn ausreichend Energie für die Betätigungsvorrichtung vorliegt, dass der Motor für die Betätigung der Schutzklappe gegen die vorhandene Feder an der Schutzklappe anarbeiten muss. Folglich verbraucht der Motor deutlich mehr Energie im Normalbetrieb, um die Schutzklappe aus der Ruhestellung in die Betriebsstellung zu bewegen. Auch ist ein deutlich leistungsstärkerer Motor notwendig, damit überhaupt die notwendigen Kräfte bzw. Drehmomente aufgebracht werden können. Die vorliegende Erfindung sieht nun vor, zusätzlich ein schaltbares Kupplungselement zu verwenden, womit das Federelement entkoppelbar ist, so dass es nicht permanent auf die Schutzklappe wirkt. Hierdurch ist es möglich, im Normalbetrieb das Federelement von der Schutzklappe zu entkoppeln, um dann die Schutzklappe ohne große Widerstandskraft bzw. großes Drehmoment vom Motor aus der Ruhestellung in die Betriebsstellung zu überführen. Durch diese Maßnahme ist es ebenfalls möglich elektrische Energie einzusparen, insbesondere im Stillstand des Fahrzeuges, wenn die Energie aus der Fahrzeugbatterie stammt. Somit kann für die Betätigungsvorrichtung einerseits ein hoher Bedienkomfort erreicht werden und andererseits ein energiesparsames System erzielt werden.Thus, the actuator of the invention remains functional even in the event of a power failure, the protective flap must also be manually operable. For this purpose, the user must also be able to manually rotate or pivot the protective flap in order to be able to intervene in the actuating device. After the user has operated the lock to open or close the movable part, the protective flap must move automatically to its rest position, otherwise the actuator remains open, which may, for example, unpleasant driving noise. For this purpose, the protective flap is loaded with a spring, whereby it can be independently transferred to its idle position even in the event of a power failure from its operating position. Thus, the full functionality of the actuator is guaranteed in case of power failure. However, it follows for normal operation, that is, if there is sufficient energy for the actuator, that the motor must work for the operation of the protective flap against the existing spring on the protective flap. Consequently, the engine consumes significantly more energy in normal operation to move the protective flap from the rest position to the operating position. Also, a significantly more powerful motor is necessary so that at all the necessary forces or torques can be applied. The present invention now provides, in addition, to use a switchable coupling element, whereby the spring element can be decoupled, so that it does not permanently act on the protective flap. This makes it possible to decouple the spring element of the protective flap in normal operation, and then to transfer the protective flap without great resistance or high torque from the engine from the rest position to the operating position. By this measure, it is also possible to save electrical energy, especially at standstill of the vehicle when the energy comes from the vehicle battery. Thus, on the one hand, a high level of operating comfort can be achieved for the actuating device and, on the other hand, an energy-saving system can be achieved.
Weitere technische Merkmale und Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsvorrichtung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 13.Further technical features and embodiments of the actuating device according to the invention will become apparent from the
Bei einer weiteren die Erfindung verbessernden Maßnahme, dient der Motor zur Betätigung der Schutzklappe gleichzeitig zum Schalten des Kupplungselementes. Zu diesem Zweck kann ein Getriebe und/oder eine Hebelmechanismus zwischen dem Motor und dem Kupplungselement vorgesehen sein, wodurch der Motor indirekt das Kupplungselement schaltet. Anstelle des Motors für die Betätigung der Schutzklappe kann auch ein zusätzliches elektromechanisches Stellglied zur Schaltung des Kopplungselementes dienen. Dieses elektromechanische Stellglied kann einen Hubmagneten enthalten. Selbstverständlich kann auch das zusätzliche elektromechanische Stellglied aus einem weiteren Motor bestehen.In a further measure improving the invention, the motor is used for actuating the protective flap at the same time for switching the coupling element. For this purpose, a gear and / or a lever mechanism between the engine and the coupling element may be provided, whereby the motor indirectly switches the coupling element. Instead of the motor for the operation of the protective flap can also serve an additional electromechanical actuator for switching the coupling element. This electromechanical actuator may include a lifting magnet. Of course, the additional electromechanical actuator consist of a further motor.
Um ein besonders robustes und zuverlässiges Kupplungselement einsetzen zu können, sollte dieses eine Klauenkupplung, eine Reibkupplung oder eine Magnetkupplung aufweisen. Die Klauenkupplung und die Reibkupplung werden in der Regel durch eine Längsbewegung geschaltet, so dass eine mechanische Betätigung notwendig ist. Die Magnetkupplung dagegen kann rein elektrisch geschalten werden, so dass keine weiteren Bauteile mehr notwendig sind. Um eine möglichst Platz sparende Konstruktion zu erhalten, kann das Kupplungselement auf einer Dreh- oder Schwenkachse der Schutzklappe gelagert sein. Sofern das Federelement für die Rückstellung der Schutzklappe als eine Drehfeder, insbesondere eine Spiral- oder Schenkelfeder ausgestaltet ist, können das Federelement und/oder das Kupplungselement auf der Dreh- oder Schwenkachse für die Schutzklappe angeordnet sein. Hierdurch ergibt sich ein besonders kompakter und solider Aufbau für die erfindungsgemäße Betätigungsvorrichtung. Dabei empfiehlt es sich, das Federelement und das Kupplungselement zwischen der bewegbaren Schutzklappe und der feststehenden Gehäusekonstruktion anzuordnen. Bei dieser Variante ist es denkbar, das Federelement zwischen der Schutzklappe und dem Kupplungselement vorzusehen. Allerdings kann optional das Federelement auch zwischen der Gehäusekonstruktion und dem Kupplungselement angeordnet sein. Ferner hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, das Federungselement in der Breitenmitte der Schutzklappe angreifen zu lassen, um Verbiegungen oder Spannungen über die Breite der Schutzklappe zu vermeiden. Ebenfalls ist es auch denkbar, ein oder mehrere Federelemente an der Schutzklappe angreifen zu lassen, die über die Breite der Schutzklappe möglichst gleichmäßig verteilt sind und zweckmäßigerweise alle entkoppelt werden können.In order to use a particularly robust and reliable coupling element, this should have a dog clutch, a friction clutch or a magnetic coupling. The dog clutch and the friction clutch are usually switched by a longitudinal movement, so that a mechanical actuation is necessary. The magnetic coupling, however, can be switched purely electrically, so that no further components are necessary. In order to obtain the most space-saving design, the coupling element can be mounted on a rotary or pivot axis of the protective flap. If the spring element for the return of the protective flap as a torsion spring, in particular a spiral or leg spring is configured, the spring element and / or the coupling element can be arranged on the rotary or pivot axis for the protective flap. This results in a particularly compact and solid structure for the actuating device according to the invention. It is advisable to arrange the spring element and the coupling element between the movable protective flap and the fixed housing construction. In this variant, it is conceivable to provide the spring element between the protective flap and the coupling element. However, optionally, the spring element can also be arranged between the housing construction and the coupling element. Furthermore, it has proven to be expedient to have the suspension element engage in the middle of the width of the protective flap in order to avoid bending or tension across the width of the protective flap. It is also conceivable to have one or more spring elements engage the protective flap, which are distributed as evenly as possible over the width of the protective flap and expediently all can be decoupled.
Damit die Betätigungsvorrichtung auch im Notfall, bei dem z. B. ein Stromausfall vorliegt, einwandfrei arbeitet, empfiehlt es sich, dass das Kupplungselement das Federelement nur entkoppelt, wenn der Motor für die Schutzklappe aktiviert wird. Folglich wirkt das Federelement auch bei einem Stromausfall auf die Schutzklappe und kann nur entkoppelt werden, wenn ausreichend Energie für die Bewegung der Schutzklappe und somit auch zum Entkoppeln des Federelementes bereitsteht.Thus, the actuator in an emergency, in the z. B. is a power failure, works properly, it is recommended that the coupling element, the spring element decoupled only when the engine is activated for the protective flap. Consequently, the spring element acts on the protective flap even in the event of a power failure and can only be decoupled if sufficient energy is available for the movement of the protective flap and thus also for the decoupling of the spring element.
Im Normalbetrieb sorgt der Motor für die Schutzklappe für ihre Rückstellung aus der Betriebsstellung in die Ruhestellung. Um im Notfallbetrieb ein rasches Zurückschnellen der Schutzklappe aus der Betriebsstellung in die Ruhestellung zu vermeiden, kann zusätzlich ein Dämpferelement an der Schutzklappe angreifen, wodurch die Schutzklappe langsam aus der Betriebsstellung in die Ruhestellung überführt wird. Da der Motor im Normalbetrieb die Schutzklappe nicht ruckartig oder schnell bewegt, muss dieser auch nicht gegen das Dämpferelement arbeiten. Somit wird keine zusätzliche Energie für die Verstellung der Schutzklappe bei dem Einsatz eines Dämpferelementes benötigt.In normal operation, the motor provides for the protective flap for their provision from the operating position to the rest position. In order to avoid a quick snap back of the protective flap from the operating position to the rest position during emergency operation, a damper element can additionally act on the protective flap, whereby the protective flap is slowly transferred from the operating position to the rest position. Since the motor in normal operation does not move the protective flap jerkily or quickly, it does not have to work against the damper element. Thus, no additional energy for the adjustment of the protective flap is required in the use of a damper element.
Sofern die Betätigungsvorrichtung zur Bedienung eines mechanischen Schlosses verwendet wird, kommt ein mechanisches Betätigungselement in oder an der Gehäusekonstruktion zum Einsatz, wobei dieses mechanische Betätigungselement als Hebel, Knopf oder dergleichen ausgestaltet sein kann. Somit kann der Benutzer durch eine Zug- oder Druckbewegung die erforderlichen Kräfte über das mechanische Betätigungselement auf das mechanische Schloss übertragen.If the actuator is used to operate a mechanical lock, a mechanical actuator in or on the housing construction is used, this mechanical actuator can be configured as a lever, knob or the like. Thus, the user can through a tensile or compressive movement transmit the required forces via the mechanical actuator to the mechanical lock.
Zur Kraftübertragung oder Drehmomentübertragung kann zwischen dem mechanischen Betätigungselement und dem mechanischen Schloss ein Gestänge oder ein Bowdenzug oder dergleichen vorgesehen sein. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass das mechanische Betätigungselement direkt auf das mechanische Schloss wirkt, so dass zusätzliche Kraft- bzw. Drehmomentübertragungsmittel nicht erforderlich sind.For power transmission or torque transmission, a linkage or a Bowden cable or the like may be provided between the mechanical actuator and the mechanical lock. It is also conceivable that the mechanical actuator acts directly on the mechanical lock, so that additional force or torque transmission means are not required.
Wird allerdings die erfindungsgemäße Betätigungsvorrichtung mit einem elektromechanischen Schloss betrieben, so empfiehlt es sich, das elektrische Betätigungselement als einen Schalter, Taster, Drucksensor oder dergleichen auszugestalten. Auch dieses Betätigungselement ist gut erreichbar für einen Benutzer innerhalb der Betätigungsvorrichtung anzuordnen. Das elektrische oder elektronische Signal des verwendeten Betätigungselementes kann dann über eine Steuerleitung direkt oder indirekt über eine Steuereinheit an das elektrische Schloss weitergeleitet werden.However, if the actuator according to the invention operated with an electromechanical lock, it is recommended that the electrical actuator as a switch, button, pressure sensor or the like to design. Also, this actuator is easily accessible for a user to arrange within the actuator. The electrical or electronic signal of the actuating element used can then be forwarded via a control line directly or indirectly via a control unit to the electric lock.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann zusätzlich eine Frontklappe Verwendung finden, die benachbart zur Schutzklappe beweglich angeordnet wird, wodurch das Schloss mechanisch betätigbar ist. Diese zusätzliche Frontklappe kann anstelle des mechanischen Betätigungselementes eingesetzt werden. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass sie zusätzlich zu dem elektrischen und/oder mechanischen Betätigungselement eingesetzt wird, um somit auch bei einem Stromausfall sicherzustellen, dass ein elektromechanisches Schloss trotzdem betätigbar ist.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a front flap can be used in addition, which is arranged adjacent to the protective flap movable, whereby the lock is mechanically actuated. This additional front flap can be used instead of the mechanical actuator. It is also conceivable that it is used in addition to the electrical and / or mechanical actuator so as to ensure even in the event of a power failure that an electromechanical lock can still be actuated.
Ferner kann es bei der erfindungsgemäßen Betätigungsvorrichtung vorgesehen sein, dass durch einen Sensor, der insbesondere an oder in der Schutzklappe angeordnet ist und zur Ansteuerung des Motors für die Schutzklappe dient, eine Annäherung eines Benutzers an die Betätigungsvorrichtung erfassbar ist. Sobald dieser Sensor nun eine Annäherung eines Benutzers erfasst, wird die Schutzklappe automatisch in ihre Betriebsstellung überführt. Der verwendete Sensor kann beispielsweise aus einem kapazitiven oder induktiven Näherungssensor bestehen. Ebenfalls kann er ein Piezo-Element enthalten. Der Näherungssensor kann in oder an der Schutzklappe angeordnet sein. Die Schutzklappe selber kann mit einer Blende versehen sein, die sowohl farblich als auch von der Materialbeschaffenheit der Vorderseite des beweglichen Teils angepasst ist. Der Sensor kann dann zwischen der Blende und der eigentlichen Schutzklappe angeordnet werden. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass bei einer metallischen Blende diese als Teil des Sensors verwendbar ist. Ferner ist es denkbar, dass das Betätigungselement an oder in der beweglichen Frontklappe angeordnet ist. Das Betätigungselement selber kann einen Sensor, ein Piezo-Element, Schalter, Mikroschalter oder dergleichen aufweisen.Furthermore, in the case of the actuating device according to the invention it can be provided that an approach of a user to the actuating device can be detected by a sensor, which is arranged in particular on or in the protective flap and serves to control the motor for the protective flap. As soon as this sensor detects an approach of a user, the protective flap is automatically transferred to its operating position. The sensor used, for example, from a consist capacitive or inductive proximity sensor. It can also contain a piezo element. The proximity sensor can be arranged in or on the protective flap. The protective flap itself may be provided with a screen which is adapted to both color and the material condition of the front of the moving part. The sensor can then be placed between the panel and the actual protective flap. It is also conceivable that, in the case of a metallic diaphragm, this can be used as part of the sensor. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the actuating element is arranged on or in the movable front flap. The actuating element itself may have a sensor, a piezo element, switches, microswitches or the like.
Die erfindungsgemäße Betätigungsvorrichtung kann als Türaußengriff ausgestaltet sein. Ebenfalls ist die vorliegende Erfindung auch auf ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere Kraftfahrzeug, mit einer Betätigungsvorrichtung nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 13 gerichtet.The actuating device according to the invention can be configured as an outside door handle. The present invention is also directed to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, with an actuating device according to one of
