Definitions

  • the invention relates to an outside door handle assembly for a vehicle having the features of the preamble of claim 1, and more particularly to an outside door handle assembly which includes a mass lock for accidental operation of the door handle in the event of an accident of the vehicle.
  • the invention relates to a door handle assembly for motor vehicles, which has a handle member or a handle which is arranged to open the door by a user and a mechanical coupling device, by which a movement of the handle on a vehicle-side locking arrangement is transferable.
  • a swivel mass is arranged in the handle assembly and can change its position under the action of an acceleration force (in the event of an accident or crash) such that a movement of the handle member or the unlocking of the locking device is blocked.
  • Such mass barriers are intended to prevent the acceleration forces occurring in an accident lead to an actuation of the door handle and an accidental opening of the door takes place, which brings with it considerable risks for an occupant of the vehicle.
  • the user-operable grip components are mechanically coupled to a vehicle-side locking assembly (the actual door lock).
  • the movement of the door handle is transmitted through the mechanical coupling device to the locking assembly and released the door to the opening.
  • the acceleration forces under adverse conditions such as operation of the handle member by a user, since the handle can be accelerated due to the inertia in the opening direction.
  • crash barriers or mass locks are known for door handles for motor vehicles from the prior art.
  • this describes DE 199 29 022 a corresponding mass barrier in the form of a pivotable member which is to exclude a handle operation in the event of a crash.
  • forces are exerted on a locking member and an unwanted movement of the handle, also caused by the forces acting, is blocked.
  • Another outside door handle with a mass lock is for example from the EP 0 795 667 A2 known.
  • a mass lock is biased and stored against spring pressure swivel.
  • the known mass barriers for vehicles have the problem that, although they effectively cause the door handle to lock in certain scenarios of an accident, they are differentially effective depending on the accident scenario. Because the mass locks are regularly as slidable or um formed masses pivotally suspended on a pivot axis, the mass barrier is more effective, the greater the proportion of acceleration forces in the direction of a degree of freedom of movement. In addition, the effectiveness depends on the center of gravity of the swivel mass. However, an effect of acceleration forces exactly in the direction of the fixed pivot axis does not lead to the desired blocking of the door handle.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide an improved mass barrier for door handles on motor vehicles available, which provides an increased trigger safety.
  • the swivel mass is arranged in a suspension that they from a rest position in at least two Degrees of freedom is movable.
  • the swivel mass is correspondingly not pivotable about this axis only by suspension in a pivot axis, but has at least one additional pivoting direction, ie a second degree of freedom of rotation about the suspension.
  • the swivel mass can follow the acting acceleration forces more flexibly than in the case of a suspension on a swivel axis, which permits only the swiveling movement with one degree of freedom of the rotation.
  • the swivel mass is further coupled to a locking device or transmission device such that pivoting of the swivel mass over a predetermined locking angle from the rest position, the locking device actuates and movement of the handle member or a downstream component in the coupling chain between the handle and vehicle-side locking assembly (eg snap lock) locks.
  • the swivel mass is biased in the direction of the rest position.
  • the locking angle can basically be different depending on the direction of the pivoting movement, but it can also be provided regardless of the direction of the pivoting movement, a uniform locking angle.
  • the locking device is coupled to the handle or movable components in the coupling strand between the handle and locking arrangement or door lock such that an unlocking of the door is blocked in pairs. This can be done by blocking a movement of the handle itself from the rest position to an operating position in which the door would be unlocked, or by blocking the movement of a coupled to the handle movable member.
  • the blockage has to be done in any case in the mechanical coupling path between the handle and door lock.
  • the locking device for example, have a locking pin or locking portion which can be brought into engagement with a movable component.
  • In the locking device may also be a biased by spring force locking device which is in normal use out of engagement with the movable member of the handle assembly and against the bias against the movable Parts of the handle assembly in a locked position can be brought.
  • the blocking is made reversible or reversible, so that a release takes place again, if the acceleration forces of the crash are eliminated, e.g. when a car comes to rest after an accident. Then the unlocking of the door should be possible again. Therefore, swivel mass and locking device are coupled in such a way that the swivel mass due to their bias in the absence of acceleration (after the accident) returns to the rest position and the locking device releases the handle or the blocked component again.
  • the swivel mass has more degrees of freedom for a pivoting movement than with conventional mass locks.
  • an actuation of the mass lock is ensured even for those cases in which the acceleration forces in conventional crash barriers do not lead to a triggering, for example because they act in full or substantial part in the direction of the pivot axis.
  • the suspension can be designed arbitrarily, it is only to ensure that the pivoting mass is pivotable with at least two degrees of freedom of rotation.
  • the swivel mass may be suspended in a first pivot axis, but in this case the suspension may be designed such that the swivel mass is in turn pivotable relative to this pivot axis.
  • the swivel mass deflected relative to its rest position in which it is biased to prevent unwanted pivoting movements at low accelerations occurring in the usual Nutz ceremonies, it actuates the locking device and a movement of the handle member is locked.
  • This can be done, for example, by the fact that the pivot mass is mechanically coupled to the locking device, that they touched during movement above the locking angle and moves so that the locking device in the movement curves of the moving components and so the operation of the door handle assembly and unlocking blocked the door.
  • the pivot mass is mechanically coupled to the locking device, that they touched during movement above the locking angle and moves so that the locking device in the movement curves of the moving components and so the operation of the door handle assembly and unlocking blocked the door.
  • the locking device is therefore in the invention the task to redirect the pivotal movement of the swivel mass in a directed locking movement. Since pivoting movements in at least two degrees of freedom are possible, this deflection is to ensure for each of the pivoting movements, which can occur in a crash.
  • the locking means may comprise a plurality of locking means or actuating means, which are activated depending on the pivoting direction. These may e.g. be arranged around the swivel mass. However, it can also be provided only a device which is actuated in all relevant pivotal movements.
  • the deflection can be done in any way, e.g. by a gear, by leverage or other coupling means such as e.g. magnetic power transmission.
  • the pivoting mass is formed and arranged like a pendulum.
  • a pendulum-like design of the pivot mass shifts the center of gravity of the pivot mass far from the location of the suspension of the pivot itself.
  • the suspension and pivotal movement is thereby stabilized and controllable, thereby eliminating false actuations during normal vehicle operation.
  • the pivot mass is suspended in a ball joint so that its center of gravity is movable on a spherical shell cutout.
  • the swivel mass in principle, it is possible to hang the swivel mass so that it is pivotable in two mutually inclined or vertical planes with two degrees of freedom of rotation (eg by cross-shaped guide slots), but preferably the swivel mass can be on a spherical shell cutout move. If the pivoting movement of the swiveling mass is guided in the different directions of rotation and the swiveling movement is therefore restricted to two obliquely inclined planes (eg by corresponding guides), the swiveling mass must theoretically return to the position of the rest position in order to be able to execute the swiveling movement in the other plane. However, if the swivel mass is suspended in a ball joint, then it can change the swivel or pendulum direction even in the already deflected state and follow the acting acceleration forces.
  • the pivoting mass is formed so that it extends on both sides of its suspension.
  • the swivel mass may extend to different lengths or in different formal training on both sides of the suspension, so that a lever is formed with unbalanced lever arms.
  • the lever connected to the location of suspension e.g., ball joint
  • With appropriate design leverage can be exercised on a shorter end of the lever in this way.
  • F m x a than on the lower-mass side of the lever (assuming the same lever arms).
  • the pendulum mass or swivel mass is accelerated with an acceleration a.
  • the blocking device is coupled to the short lever end of the swivel mass and is actuated by a movement of the short lever end.
  • the short end of the lever is pivoted only by a small travel, if there is a shift of the opposite pendulum portion of the swivel mass.
  • This lever movement with low Travel is, however, with considerable restoring forces (leverage laws).
  • These actuating forces can be used, for example, to cancel a blockage of a prestressed component of the blocking device or to effect a displacement of parts of the blocking device into a blocking position.
  • the short lever end of the swivel mass is coupled to an axially guided component of the locking device such that a pivoting movement of the lever end can be deflected into an axial movement of the component.
  • the corresponding coupling and deflection takes place in such a way that a plate section and a plunger sliding away therefrom are formed so that the plate section and plunger change their axial position relative to one another as a function of their pivoting.
  • the plate portion may be concave, so that the plunger can slide in the plate and stored in the rest position of the swivel mass in the center.
  • the curvature of the plate is designed so that the axially movable plunger is displaced in a tilting of the plate in the axial direction.
  • the door handle assembly according to the invention according to the embodiment, a frame first in which a handle 2 is pivotally mounted in a bearing 3.
  • the door handle assembly is intended for mounting on a vehicle door, wherein in the mounted state, the handle 2 faces away from the vehicle. With the handle 2 a pointing to the interior of the vehicle handle coupling portion 4 is connected. In a user-induced pull on the handle 2, the coupling portion 4 is moved outward (in the direction of the handle) and performs an operation function for a door unlocking.
  • a spring-biased shaft 5 is mounted below the coupling portion 4. With the shaft 5, a lower projection 6 is connected, which is pivotable upon rotation of the shaft. Above the shaft, a paddle section is arranged on the shaft 5, which is deflectable with an integrally formed on the coupling portion 4 driver upon actuation of the handle 2 and leads to a rotation of the shaft 5 and a pivoting movement of the projection 6.
  • a pivoting mass 10 is formed like a pendulum and mounted on the frame 1 in a suspension 11.
  • the swivel mass 10 has a massive plate with a central pin which is mounted in suspension 11 by means of a ball joint.
  • FIG. 2 shows the handle assembly FIG. 1 in another view from the back (from the vehicle side).
  • the suspension 11 is clearly visible, which forms a bearing for a ball joint 12, which is formed on the pin of the swivel mass 10.
  • the pivoting mass 10 forms two lever arms that can perform coupled pivoting movements in the pivot point of the ball joint.
  • the long lever arm is formed by the pendulum-like mass in the lower portion of the swivel mass.
  • a plate or cup portion 13 is formed on the pivoting mass, which points in the manner of a funnel with its open side upwards. In the plate portion 13, a spring-biased pin 14 is received, so that this pin can slide biased inside the plate 13.
  • the plate portion 13 is tilted and the pin 14 slides on the inner surface of the plate. Due to the shape adaptation of the plate 13 and pin 14 while the pin is moved in the axial direction, since he can not complete the tilting movement due to its axial guidance.
  • the pin 14 is spring biased against a portion of the frame 1 of the handle assembly so that it stabilizes the pivot mass in its normal position in the normal state.
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the door handle assembly shown, from which the storage of the pin 14 in the plate portion 13 clearly shows.
  • Plate section 13 push the pin head upwards.
  • Plate section 13 and head of the pin 14 are matched in shape to each other.
  • the downwardly facing head of the pin 14 is conical and the plate portion 13 has its funnel shape on a corresponding receptacle.
  • the projection 6 has a recess which can receive the pin, if it is urged by the swivel mass upwards. If the pin 14 engages in the recess 20, a pivoting movement of the projection 6 about the axis of rotation 5 is prevented and an unlocking of the vehicle door by the door handle is prevented.
