Definitions

• the present invention relates to an actuator for a cover of a body opening of a motor vehicle with a housing axially guided locking pin.
• Such an actuator is known from DE 101 48 199 A1.
• the known actuator uses a so-called push-push device.
• the components required for the axial guidance and control of the locking pin are arranged axially below the locking pin, so that the depths of the individual components add up.
• a disadvantage of this arrangement is that the opening stroke of the locking pin in such an axial arrangement is dependent on the cumulative overall depth of the components. With a space-saving design of the respective installation environment, this leads to a strong limitation of the maximum selectable lift height.
• the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an actuating device in which an opening stroke is no longer dependent on the overall depth of the cooperating for the opening stroke components and is much less dependent on the space-saving design of each installation environment.
• control device is arranged laterally next to the locking pin and kinematically connected to the locking pin.
• the actuating device according to the invention thus has the advantage that the cooperating for the opening stroke components cooperate in the smallest space and the depth is only dependent on a component, namely the housing.
• Another advantage is that the kinematic connection takes place via a force transmission element with a predeterminable transmission ratio. This makes it possible to adapt the power transmission to the particular circumstances. Moreover, it is advantageous that with the transmission ratio of the opening stroke of the locking pin is adjustable and thus can be adapted to different circumstances.
• the force transmission element has an axis of rotation. This results in a number of configurations for the power transmission element.
• the force transmission element is designed as a rocker lever. With this construction, an axial movement can be transferred to the locking pin to save space. Depending on the design of the lever thus the opening stroke of the locking pin can be fixed.
• the force transmission element engages with a first leg in the control device, wherein the first leg is designed as a spring element.
• the first leg is biased in the direction of the control cam, so that a start of predetermined switching stages and breakpoints in the control curve are made safe.
• the first limb has at its free end a control pin, which engages in the control device. This ensures a safe guidance of the first leg in the control cam.
• an actuating device 1 for a cover of a body opening of a motor vehicle, in particular for a fuel filler flap, is shown schematically.
• a locking pin 5 is slidably received and is guided in the housing 3.
• a guide pin 7, which also serves for the axial guidance of the locking pin 5.
• a spring element 9 is arranged, which biases the locking pin 5 in an opening position of a cover or to carry out an opening stroke.
• the spring element 9 is in the present embodiment, a coil spring which is supported at one end to an end face 8 of the guide pin 7 and at its other end to an inner annular shoulder 6 of the locking pin 5.
• a control device 11 is arranged, which is shown in the present embodiment as a control cam.
• the control device 11 formed in the present case as a control cam is arranged approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the locking pin 5 and has a pivot bearing 13 at its lower end.
• a force transmission element 15 is arranged between the control device 11 and the locking pin 5.
• the power transmission element 15 is intended to establish a kinematic connection between the control device 11 and the locking pin 5.
• the power transmission device 15 may be configured in a manner known to those skilled in the art, which provides such a kinematic connection.
• the power transmission device 15 is designed as a lever and in particular as a rocker.
• the power transmission device 15 comprises a rotation axis 17, a first leg 19 and a second leg 21.
• the first leg 19 is formed as a spring element and carries at its free end a control pin 23. With the control pin 23 of the first leg 19 engages in the Control curve of the control device 11 a. Due to the formation of the first leg 19 as a spring element of the control pin 23 is pressed into the control cam. Due to the pivotable mounting of the control device 11 in the pivot bearing 13, this can follow the pivotal movement of the lever.
• the second leg 21 forms at its free end a pivot bearing 25 with which this engages in the locking pin 5.
• the depths of the control device 11, power transmission device 15 and locking pin 5 do not add, so that overall only the depth of the housing 3 for the overall depth is relevant.
• the operation of the actuator 1 is as follows: Upon actuation of the locking pin 5 by means of a fuel filler flap, the locking pin 5 is pressed against the spring element 9 down. At the same time designed as a lever power transmission element 15 is pivoted about its axis of rotation 17, so that the control pin 23 passes through the control cam. During the passage through the cam of the control pin 23 reaches predetermined switching and locking points in the control cam. In this way, the locking pin 5 is space-saving controlled and locked.
