Description

Vorrichtung zum Betätigen eines Verschlusses eines beweglichen Teils Device for actuating a closure of a movable part
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Betätigen eines Verschlusses eines beweglichen Teils eines Kraftfahrzeuges, insbesondere einer Tür oder Heckklappe oder dergleichen, mit einem Träger, der an der Innenseite des beweglichen Teils befestigbar ist, einer Lagereinheit, die um eine am Träger vorgesehene erste Achse schwenkbar ist, und einem Griffelement, das ein erstes und ein zweites Griffende aufweist, wobei das zweite Griffende an der Lagereinheit befestigt ist, wodurch das Griffelement gemeinsam mit der Lagereinheit schwenkbeweglich ist.The invention relates to a device for actuating a closure of a movable part of a motor vehicle, in particular a door or tailgate or the like, with a carrier, which is fastened to the inside of the movable part, a bearing unit which is pivotable about a first axis provided on the carrier and a handle member having first and second handle ends, the second handle end attached to the bearing unit, whereby the handle member is pivotally movable together with the bearing unit.
In der DE 102 17 488 B4 ist eine Vorrichtung mit einem von der Türinnenseite des Kraftfahrzeuges her im Bereich der Türaußenverkleidung befestigbaren Träger beschrieben. Der Träger weist einen Lagerstift für eine Lageraufnahme auf, die sich in einer Lagereinheit befindet. Ferner ist ein Griff vorgesehen, der mit seinem ersten und seinem zweiten Griffende mit der um eine Achse verschwenkbaren Lagereinheit gekoppelt ist. Die Lagereinheit ist hierbei als eine sich über die ganze Länge des Griffes erstreckende Schwinge ausgeführt. Der Montagevorgang des Griffes an die Schwinge erfolgt durch eine Einrenkbewegung mit zwei Bewegungsphasen. Zuerst wird der Griff in einer Einsteckphase senkrecht zur Längsrichtung der Schwinge bewegt. Anschließend wird der Griff in einer Verschiebungsphase parallel zur Längsrichtung der Schwinge bewegt. Das erste Griffende des Griffes besteht hier aus einem abragenden Zapfen, der in ein als Zapfenloch ausgebildeten Gegenkupplungsteil der Schwinge eingreift. Nachteiligerweise gestalten sich die beschriebenen Bewegungsphasen bei der Montage als aufwendig.DE 102 17 488 B4 describes a device with a carrier which can be fastened in the area of the door outer panel from the inside of the door of the motor vehicle. The carrier has a bearing pin for a bearing seat, which is located in a storage unit. Further, a handle is provided, with its first and second handle end with the pivotable about an axis Storage unit is coupled. The bearing unit is designed here as an over the entire length of the handle extending rocker. The assembly process of the handle to the rocker is done by a Einrenkbewegung with two movement phases. First, the handle is moved in a Einsteckphase perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rocker. Subsequently, the handle is moved in a displacement phase parallel to the longitudinal direction of the rocker. The first handle end of the handle here consists of a projecting pin which engages in a formed as a pin hole counter-coupling part of the rocker. Disadvantageously, the described phases of motion during assembly designed as expensive.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der die genannten Nachteile vermieden werden, insbesondere eine Vorrichtung bereit gestellt wird, bei der der Montageaufwand des Griffelementes gering gehalten werden kann.It is an object of the present invention to provide a device of the type mentioned, in which the disadvantages mentioned are avoided, in particular a device is provided, in which the assembly effort of the handle element can be kept low.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 vorgeschlagen. In den abhängigen Ansprüchen sind bevorzugte Weiterbildungen ausgeführt.To solve this problem, a device having the features of claim 1 is proposed. In the dependent claims preferred developments are carried out.
Dazu ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das erste Griffende unmittelbar an der ersten Achse schwenkbar gelagert ist und für eine horizontale Lagerung des ersten Griffendes mindestens ein Lagerelement vorgesehen ist, das im Bereich der ersten Achse angeordnet ist.For this purpose, the invention provides that the first handle end is pivotally mounted directly on the first axis and at least one bearing element is provided for horizontal mounting of the first handle end, which is arranged in the region of the first axis.
Im Gegensatz zum genannten Stand der Technik ist das erste Griffende unmittelbar an der ersten Achse angeordnet, an der die Lagereinheit verschwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Lagereinheit wird - im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik - in ihrer Konstruktion vereinfacht, da das erste Griffende lediglich an der ersten Achse des Trägers angreift. Somit ist die Montage weniger aufwendig. Das Lagerelement sorgt dafür, dass eine unerwünschte Kippbeweglichkeit des Griffelementes ausgeschlossen ist. Das Lagerelement bewirkt, dass das erste Griffende, insbesondere das Griffelement in jeder Position in der horizontalen Lage gehalten wird. Somit können unerwünschte Reibungen bei einer Betätigung des Griffelementes wirksam vermieden werden. Während der Benutzer das Griffelement betätigt, wird erfindungsgemäß das Griffelement mit der Lagereinheit um die gemeinsame erste Achse verschwenkt, wobei das erste Griffende losgelöst von der Lagereinheit um die erste Achse mitverschwenkt wird.In contrast to the cited prior art, the first handle end is arranged directly on the first axis, on which the bearing unit is pivotably mounted. The bearing unit is - compared to the prior art - simplified in their construction, since the first grip end acts only on the first axis of the carrier. Thus, the assembly is less expensive. The bearing element ensures that an undesirable tilting mobility of the grip element is excluded. The bearing element causes the first handle end, in particular the handle element in each Position is kept in the horizontal position. Thus, unwanted friction during actuation of the grip element can be effectively avoided. While the user actuates the grip element, according to the invention the grip element with the bearing unit is pivoted about the common first axis, the first grip end being pivoted about the first axis detached from the bearing unit.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist die Lagereinheit ein erstes und ein zweites Lagerelement auf, wobei das erste Griffende sich zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Lagerelement erstreckt. Die Lagerelemente können beispielsweise als eine Art Fortsätze ausgebildet sein, die das erste Griffende horizontal an der ersten Achse halten. Vorteilhafterweise ist die Lagereinheit mit den Lagerelementen ausgebildet, so dass während einer Betätigung des Griffelementes die Lagereinheit mit den beiden Lagerelementen um die erste Achse verschwenkt wird, wobei gleichzeitig das erste Griffende des Griffelementes eine horizontale Lagerung über die beiden Lagerelemente erhält.In an advantageous embodiment, the bearing unit has a first and a second bearing element, wherein the first grip end extends between the first and the second bearing element. The bearing elements may for example be formed as a kind of projections that hold the first end of the handle horizontally on the first axis. Advantageously, the bearing unit is formed with the bearing elements, so that during an actuation of the grip element, the bearing unit is pivoted about the first axis with the two bearing elements, at the same time the first grip end of the grip element receives a horizontal bearing over the two bearing elements.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass eine Spielpassung zwischen dem ersten Griffende und dem Lagerelement besteht. In einer besonderen Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung liegt eine Null-Passung zwischen dem ersten Griffende und dem Lagerelement vor. Da sich während der Betätigung des Griffelementes die Lagereinheit und das Griffelement mit dem ersten Griffende parallel bewegen, ist zwischen beiden Bauteilen die Relativbewegung nahezu null, so dass eine etwaige Reibung zwischen dem ersten Griffende und dem Lagerelement beziehungsweise dem ersten und dem zweiten Lagerelement und der Lagereinheit wirksam vermieden werden kann.It is particularly advantageous that there is a clearance fit between the first end of the handle and the bearing element. In a particular embodiment of the device according to the invention, there is a zero fit between the first handle end and the bearing element. Since the bearing unit and the grip element move in parallel with the first grip end during actuation of the grip element, the relative movement between the two components is virtually zero, so that any friction between the first grip end and the bearing element or the first and the second bearing element and the bearing unit can be effectively avoided.
Eine die Erfindung verbessernde Maßnahme kann vorsehen, dass die erste Achse durch einen Stift gebildet ist, an dem das erste Griffende positioniert ist. Das eine Ende der Lagereinheit bildet vorzugsweise an der ersten Achse ein geschlossenes Lager. Zweckmäßigerweise erstreckt sich der Stift durch Lagerbohrungen der Lagereinheit, wobei der Stift, der zylindrisch ausgeführt sein kann, an seinen freien Enden am Träger befestigt ist. Vorzugsweise ist das erste Griffende einseitig offen als Langloch ausgebildet, wobei das Griffende die erste Achse zumindest bereichsweise umfasst. Der Montageaufwand der Anordnung des ersten Griffendes an die erste Achse wird hierdurch vereinfacht. Des Weiteren können Toleranzen, die beispielsweise beim Spritzgießen der relevanten Bauteile, wie Griffelement, Lagereinheit, etc. oder die bei Temperaturschwankungen enstehen können, über das genannte Langloch am ersten Griffende wirksam ausgeglichen werden, ohne das zusätzliche Reibstellen entstehen.A measure improving the invention may provide that the first axis is formed by a pin on which the first handle end is positioned. The one end of the bearing unit preferably forms a closed bearing on the first axis. Conveniently, the pin extends through bearing bores of the bearing unit, wherein the pin, which may be made cylindrical, is secured at its free ends to the carrier. Preferably, the first end of the handle is open on one side as an elongated hole, wherein the handle end comprises the first axis at least partially. The installation effort the arrangement of the first handle end to the first axis is thereby simplified. Furthermore, tolerances, which may arise, for example, during injection molding of the relevant components, such as grip element, bearing unit, etc. or which may arise in the event of temperature fluctuations, can be effectively compensated for via the elongated hole at the first end of the grip without the additional friction points being created.
In einer weiteren Alternative der Erfindung ist das Lagerelement durch eine am Stift ausgeführte Nut gebildet. Das Lagerelement befindet sich bei dieser Ausführungsform direkt an der ersten Achse, wobei die Nut des Stiftes für eine horizontale Lagerung des ersten Griffendes sorgt.In a further alternative of the invention, the bearing element is formed by a groove running on the pin. The bearing element is in this embodiment directly to the first axis, wherein the groove of the pin ensures a horizontal bearing of the first handle end.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass ein zum Verschluss führender Abgang an der Lagereinheit und/oder am Griffelement vorgesehen ist. Bei einer Betätigung des Griffelementes wird über den Abgang der Verschluss des beweglichen Teils des Kraftfahrzeuges betätigt, insbesondere geöffnet, wenn eine Entriegelungsposition im Verschluss vorliegt. Auch der Schließzylinder der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann mit einem zusätzlichen Abgang verbunden sein, der bei einer Betätigung des Schließzylinders auf den Verschluss einwirkt und diesen verriegelt bzw. entriegelt. Der Abgang kann beispielsweise über einen Bowdenzug realisiert werden.It is particularly advantageous that an outlet leading to the closure is provided on the bearing unit and / or on the grip element. Upon actuation of the grip element, the closure of the movable part of the motor vehicle is actuated via the outlet, in particular opened when an unlocking position is present in the closure. Also, the lock cylinder of the device according to the invention may be connected to an additional outlet, which acts upon actuation of the lock cylinder on the closure and this locks or unlocked. The departure can be realized for example via a Bowden cable.
Alternativ kann ein an einer zweiten Drehachse drehbar gelagertes Koppelelement vorgesehen sein, an dem ein zum Verschluss führender Abgang angreift und das Koppelelement in Wirkverbindung mit der Lageeinheit steht. Bei einer Betätigung des Griffelementes wird gleichzeitig die Lagereinheit um die erste Achse verschwenkt, wobei die Lagereinheit das Koppelelement bewegt, wodurch der Abgang über das Koppelelement mitbewegt wird. Bevorzugt ist die Lagereinheit mit dem Griffelement aus einer ersten Position in eine zweite Position und umgekehrt verschwenkbar. Die erste Position ist hierbei die Ruheposition. In der zweiten Position des Griffelementes wird eine Betätigung des Verschlusses zum Öffnen des beweglichen Teils ausgelöst, wobei das Griffelement zuvor um einen definierten Winkelbereich aus dem beweglichen Teil um die erste Drehachse bewegt worden ist. Vorzugsweise kontaktiert die Lagereinheit in Ihrer ersten Position ein erstes Anschlagelement. In der zweiten Position kann die Lagereinheit in der zweiten Position ein zweites Anschlagelement berühren. Die genannten Anschlagelemente können beispielsweise am feststehenden Träger integriert sein.Alternatively, a rotatably mounted on a second axis of rotation coupling element may be provided, on which a closure leading to the outlet acts and the coupling element is in operative connection with the position unit. Upon actuation of the grip element, the bearing unit is simultaneously pivoted about the first axis, wherein the bearing unit moves the coupling element, whereby the outlet is moved via the coupling element. Preferably, the bearing unit with the handle element from a first position to a second position and vice versa pivoted. The first position is the rest position. In the second position of the handle element, an actuation of the closure is triggered for opening the movable part, wherein the handle element has been previously moved by a defined angular range from the movable part about the first axis of rotation. The bearing unit preferably contacts a first stop element in its first position. In the second position, the storage unit in the second position touching a second stop element. The abovementioned stop elements can be integrated, for example, on the stationary carrier.
In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung ist ein Federelement vorgesehen, das in Wirkverbindung mit dem Koppelelement und der Lagereinheit steht, wobei in der zweiten Position der Lagereinheit das Federelement eine derartige Rückstellkraft ausübt, dass die Lagereinheit selbstständig in seine erste Position bewegbar ist. Das Koppelelement kann vorzugsweise mit einer Aufnahme ausgeführt sein, in der der Abgang gehalten ist. Der Abgang kann an seinem einen Ende form- und/oder kraft- und/oder stoffschlüssig an der genannten Aufnahme befestigt sein.In a particular embodiment, a spring element is provided which is in operative connection with the coupling element and the bearing unit, wherein in the second position of the bearing unit, the spring element exerts such a restoring force that the bearing unit is independently movable to its first position. The coupling element may preferably be designed with a receptacle in which the outlet is held. The departure can be attached at its one end form and / or force and / or cohesive to said recording.
Damit bei einem Seitenaufprall eine Betätigung des Verschlusses sowie eine Öffnung des beweglichen Teils, insbesondere der Fahrzeugtür nicht entsteht, ist mindestens ein Massenausgleichsgewicht in der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung integriert. Ein besonders kompakter Aufbau wird dadurch erzielt, dass das Massenausgleichsgewicht am Koppelelement integriert ist.So that in the event of a side impact, an actuation of the closure as well as an opening of the movable part, in particular of the vehicle door, does not occur, at least one mass balance weight is integrated in the device according to the invention. A particularly compact design is achieved in that the mass balance weight is integrated on the coupling element.
Des Weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, dass die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung durch eine Steuerelektronik überwacht wird. Aus sicherheitstechnischen Gründen kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenn neben der Erfassung der Position der Lagereinheit auch die Positionen des Griffelementes oder des Koppelelementes erfasst werden. Dieses kann beispielsweise über Sensoren, insbesondere Magnetfeldsensoren erfolgen, die das magnetische Feld eines an dem Koppelelement, an der Lagereinheit oder an dem Griffelement angebrachten Permanentmagneten erfassen.Furthermore, it can be provided that the device according to the invention is monitored by control electronics. For safety reasons, it may be advantageous if, in addition to the detection of the position of the bearing unit, the positions of the grip element or of the coupling element are detected. This can be done, for example, via sensors, in particular magnetic field sensors, which detect the magnetic field of a permanent magnet attached to the coupling element, to the bearing unit or to the grip element.

In Fig. 1 bis 4 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung 10 zum Betätigen eines Verschlusses einer Kraftfahrzeugtür 12 dargestellt. Die Vorrichtung 10 weist einen feststehenden Träger 11 auf, der an der Innenseite der beweglichen Tür 12 befestigt ist. Am linken Bereich des Trägers 1 1 ist eine erste Achse 13 vorgesehen, an der eine Lagereinheit 20 schwenkbar angeordnet ist. Die Lagereinheit 20 ist als eine Art Schwinge ausgeführt. Wie Fig. 3 und 4 verdeutlichen, weist das Griffelement 40 ein erstes und ein zweites Griffende 41 , 42 auf, wobei das zweite Griffende 42 am freien Ende 23 der Lagereinheit 20 befestigt ist.In Fig. 1 to 4, an inventive device 10 for actuating a closure of a motor vehicle door 12 is shown. The device 10 has a fixed support 11 which is fixed to the inside of the movable door 12. At the left portion of the support 1 1, a first axis 13 is provided, on which a bearing unit 20 is pivotally mounted. The storage unit 20 is designed as a kind of rocker. As FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate, the grip element 40 has a first and a second grip end 41, 42, the second grip end 42 being fastened to the free end 23 of the bearing unit 20.
Das erste Griffende 41 ist an der ersten Achse 13 schwenkbar gelagert. In der vorliegenden Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist hierbei das erste Griffende 41 einseitig offen als Langloch ausgebildet, wobei das erste Griffende 41 mit seinem Langloch die erste Achse 13 zumindest bereichsweise umfasst. Wie Fig. 1 und 2 verdeutlichen, ist das erste Griffende 41 des Griffelementes 40 unmittelbar an der ersten Achse 13 positioniert. Hierbei ist die erste Achse 13 durch einen Stift 13a ausgebildet, der innerhalb des Langloches des ersten Griffendes 41 aufgenommen ist. Damit das Griffelement 40, insbesondere das erste Griffende 41 , zuverlässig in der horizontalen Position an der ersten Achse 13 verbleibt, sind lappenförmige Lagerelemente 22a, 22b an der beweglichen Lagereinheit 20 angeordnet, die das erste Griffende 41 an zwei Seiten begrenzen. Diese vorsprungartigen Lagerelemente 22a, 22b sind an der Lagereinheit 20 im Bereich der ersten Achse 13 vorgesehen. Hierbei sind das erste und das zweite Lagerelement 22a, 22b gegenüberliegend mit einem definierten Abstand zueinander positioniert. Der Freiraum, der sich zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Lagerelement 22a, 22b bildet, wird durch das erste Griffende 41 nahezu ausgefüllt. Das erste Griffende 41 erstreckt sich hierbei zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Lagerelement 22a, 22b und ist schwenkbar am Stift 13a beweglich angeordnet.The first handle end 41 is pivotally mounted on the first axis 13. In the present embodiment of the invention, in this case the first handle end 41 is open on one side as an elongated hole, wherein the first handle end 41 with its slot comprises the first axis 13 at least partially. As FIGS. 1 and 2 make clear, the first grip end 41 of the grip element 40 is positioned directly on the first axis 13. Here, the first axis 13 is formed by a pin 13 a, which is received within the elongated hole of the first handle end 41. In order that the grip element 40, in particular the first grip end 41, reliably remains in the horizontal position on the first axis 13, lobe-shaped bearing elements 22a, 22b are arranged on the movable bearing unit 20, which delimit the first grip end 41 on two sides. These projection-like bearing elements 22a, 22b are on the bearing unit 20th provided in the region of the first axis 13. Here, the first and the second bearing element 22a, 22b are positioned opposite each other with a defined distance from each other. The clearance that forms between the first and the second bearing element 22a, 22b is almost filled by the first grip end 41. The first grip end 41 in this case extends between the first and the second bearing element 22a, 22b and is pivotably arranged on the pin 13a movable.
Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel besteht eine Spielpassung zwischen dem ersten Griffende 41 und dem ersten und dem zweiten Lagerelement 22a, 22b. Betätigt der Benutzer das Griffelement 40, wie in Fig. 2 und 4 angedeutet ist, so wird über das zweite Griffende 42 die Lagereinheit 20 um die erste Achse 13 verschwenkt. Da die Lagereinheit 20 und das Griffelement 40 sich parallel bewegen, ist die Relativbewegung im Bereich der ersten Achse 13 sehr gering bzw. nahezu „null", so dass nahezu keine Reibung an dem ersten und dem zweiten Lagerelement 22a, 22b mit dem ersten Griffende 41 des Griffelementes 40 stattfindet.In the present embodiment, a clearance fit between the first handle end 41 and the first and the second bearing element 22a, 22b. If the user actuates the grip element 40, as indicated in FIGS. 2 and 4, the bearing unit 20 is pivoted about the first axis 13 via the second grip end 42. Since the bearing unit 20 and the grip element 40 move in parallel, the relative movement in the region of the first axis 13 is very low or almost "zero", so that virtually no friction on the first and the second bearing element 22a, 22b with the first grip end 41st of the handle element 40 takes place.
Des Weiteren ist in Fig. 1 bis 4 ein zum Verschluss führender Abgang 14 dargestellt. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Abgang 14 an einem Koppelelement 30 versehen, das an einer weiteren Drehachse 15 drehbar gelagert ist, wobei das Koppelelement 30 in Wirkverbindung mit der Lagereinheit 20 steht. In einer weiteren, nicht dargestellten Ausführungsalternative kann der zum Verschluss führende Abgang 14 an der Lagereinheit 20 oder am Griffelement 40 oder sogar am feststehenden Träger 11 vorgesehen sein. Wie in Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist, weist die Lagereinheit 20 eine Stirnfläche 21 auf, die dem Griffelement 40 zugewandt ist. Ferner ist das um die zweite Drehachse 15 verschwenkbare Koppelelement 30 mit einem Kontaktbereich 31 ausgebildet, auf den die Stirnfläche 21 während der Bewegung der Lagereinheit 20 wirkt.Furthermore, FIGS. 1 to 4 show a discharge 14 leading to the closure. In the present embodiment, the outlet 14 is provided on a coupling element 30 which is rotatably mounted on a further axis of rotation 15, wherein the coupling element 30 is in operative connection with the bearing unit 20. In another embodiment, not shown, the outlet 14 leading to the closure may be provided on the bearing unit 20 or on the grip element 40 or even on the stationary support 11. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the bearing unit 20 has an end face 21, which faces the grip element 40. Further, the pivotable about the second axis of rotation 15 coupling element 30 is formed with a contact portion 31 on which the end face 21 acts during the movement of the bearing unit 20.
Wie die Fig. 3 und 4 verdeutlichen, ist die Lagereinheit 20 mit dem Griffelement 40 aus einer ersten Position (siehe Fig. 3) in eine zweite Position (siehe Fig. 4) und umgekehrt verschwenkbar. Die erste Position ist hierbei die Ruheposition. Während der Bewegung von der ersten Position in die zweite Position wird der Abgang 14 betätigt, wodurch ein nicht explizit dargestellter Verschluss des Kraftfahrzeuges geöffnet werden kann, wenn eine Entriegelungsposition im Verschluss bereits vorliegt. Hierdurch öffnet sich die Fahrzeugtür 12. Der Abgang 14 ist im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ein Bowdenzug, der sich bis zum Verschluss erstreckt. Der Abgang 14 ist an einer Aufnahme 33 gehalten, die materialeinheitlich mit dem Koppelelement 30 ein gemeinsames Bauteil bildet, welches um die zweite Drehachse 15 bewegbar ist. Die rollenartige Aufnahme 33 ist mit einer Nut 33a ausgeführt, in der der Abgang 14, insbesondere der Bowdenzug geführt und gehalten ist. Bei einer Betätigung des Griffelementes 40 wird die Lagereinheit 20 um die erste Drehachse 13 verschwenkt. Gleichzeitig drückt die Stirnfläche 21 auf den Kontaktbereich 31 des Koppelelementes 30, wodurch sich das Koppelelement 30 um die zweite Drehachse 15 dreht. Während der Bewegung der Lagereinheit 20 rollt der Kontaktbereich 31 des Koppelelementes 30 auf der Stirnfläche 21 ab. In der ersten Position der Lagereinheit 20 gemäß Fig. 1 und 3, weist der Kontaktbereich 31 , der an der Stirnfläche 21 der Lagereinheit 20 anliegt, einen definierten Abstand zur zweiten Drehachse 15 auf. Während sich das Koppelelement 30 um die zweite Drehachse 15 dreht, bewegt sich die Aufnahme 33 ebenfalls im gleichen Drehsinn mit, wobei der Bowdenzug 14 an der Aufnahme 33 um einen bestimmten Betrag aufgewickelt wird. Hierdurch entsteht eine Zugkraft am Abgang 14, die unmittelbar auf den Verschluss wirkt.As FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate, the bearing unit 20 can be pivoted with the grip element 40 from a first position (see FIG. 3) into a second position (see FIG. 4) and vice versa. The first position is the rest position. During the movement from the first position to the second position, the outlet 14 is actuated, whereby an unillustrated closure of the motor vehicle can be opened when an unlocking position already exists in the closure. In this way, the vehicle door 12 opens. The outlet 14 is a Bowden cable in the present embodiment, which extends to the closure. The outlet 14 is held on a receptacle 33 which forms the same material with the coupling element 30 a common component which is movable about the second axis of rotation 15. The roller-like receptacle 33 is designed with a groove 33a in which the outlet 14, in particular the Bowden cable is guided and held. Upon actuation of the grip element 40, the bearing unit 20 is pivoted about the first axis of rotation 13. At the same time, the end face 21 presses against the contact region 31 of the coupling element 30, as a result of which the coupling element 30 rotates about the second axis of rotation 15. During the movement of the bearing unit 20, the contact region 31 of the coupling element 30 rolls on the end face 21. In the first position of the bearing unit 20 according to FIGS. 1 and 3, the contact region 31, which bears against the end face 21 of the bearing unit 20, has a defined distance from the second rotation axis 15. While the coupling element 30 rotates about the second axis of rotation 15, the receptacle 33 also moves in the same direction of rotation, wherein the Bowden cable 14 is wound on the receptacle 33 by a certain amount. This creates a tensile force on the outlet 14, which acts directly on the closure.
Wie in Fig. 3 und 4 verdeutlicht ist, ist der Träger 1 1 mit der verschwenkbaren Lagereinheit 20 an der Türinnenseite 12 befestigt. Das Griffelement 40 wird erst nachträglich an die Schwinge 20 sowie an die erste Achse 13 angebracht, und zwar von der Türaußenseite 12 aus. Wie in Fig. 1 bis Fig. 4 gut zu erkennen ist, weist der Träger 1 1 ein erstes und ein zweites Anschlagelement 16a, 16b auf. Die Lagereinheit 20 liegt mit Ihrem rechten Bereich in ihrer ersten Position am ersten Anschlagelement 16a an.As is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the carrier 11 is fastened to the pivotable bearing unit 20 on the inside of the door 12. The grip element 40 is attached only later to the rocker 20 and to the first axis 13, and from the outside of the door 12 from. As can be clearly seen in FIGS. 1 to 4, the carrier 11 has a first and a second stop element 16a, 16b. The bearing unit 20 rests with its right area in its first position on the first stop element 16a.
Des Weiteren weist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ein Federelement 32 auf, das in Wirkverbindung mit dem Koppelelement 30 und der Lagereinheit 20 steht. Das Federelement 32 übt in der zweiten Position der Lagereinheit 20 eine derartige Rückstell kraft aus, dass die Lagereinheit 20 sich selbstständig in ihre erste Position gemäß Fig. 1 bewegt. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Koppelelement 30 einen Zapfen 35 auf, auf den das Federelement 32 aufgesteckt ist (siehe Fig. 2). Das Koppelelement 30 ist ferner mit zwei Massenausgleichsgewichten 34 ausgebildet, die während der Bewegung der Lagereinheit 20 aus der ersten in die zweite Position um die zweite Drehachse 15 mitbewegt werden. Diese Massenausgleichsgewichte 34 dienen dazu, dass bei einem etwaigen Seitenaufprall durch die auftretenden Fliehkräfte die Lagereinheit 20 nicht ungewollt in ihre zweite Position gedrückt wird, wodurch ein ungewünschter Öffnungsvorgang der Tür 12 ausgelöst werden würde. In diesem Fall wirken die Massenausgleichsgewichte 34 den wirkenden Fliehkräften entgegen, so dass eine Bewegung der Lagereinheit 20 um die erste Drehachse 13 in Richtung der zweiten Position ausgeschlossen ist.Furthermore, the device according to the invention has a spring element 32, which is in operative connection with the coupling element 30 and the bearing unit 20. The spring element 32 exerts in the second position of the bearing unit 20 such a restoring force that the bearing unit 20 moves independently in its first position shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, the coupling element 30 has a pin 35, on which the spring element 32 is plugged (see Fig. 2). The coupling element 30 is further formed with two mass balance weights 34, which are moved during the movement of the bearing unit 20 from the first to the second position about the second axis of rotation 15. These mass balance weights 34 serve to prevent the bearing unit 20 from being accidentally pushed into its second position in the event of a side impact due to the centrifugal forces that occur, as a result of which an undesired opening operation of the door 12 would be triggered. In this case, the mass balance weights 34 counteract the centrifugal forces acting, so that a movement of the bearing unit 20 about the first axis of rotation 13 in the direction of the second position is excluded.
In Fig. 5 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung dargestellt, wobei das erste Griffende 41 innerhalb des Lagerelementes 22 aufgenommen ist. Das Lagerelement 22 ist am Stift 13a ausgebildet, der die erste Drehachse 13 bildet. Anstelle der ersten und zweiten Lagerelemente 22a, 22b wird durch eine am Stift 13a ausgeführte Nut 13b das erste Griffende 41 , das ebenfalls wie in Fig. 1 bis Fig. 4 als Langloch ausgeführt ist, zuverlässig gehalten. Die restliche Anordnung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 10 entspricht im Wesentlichen dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 1 bis Fig. 4. Während das Griffelement 40 durch den Benutzer betätigt wird, verschwenkt das erste Griffende 41 sich um die erste Drehachse 13, wobei die Nut 13b das erste Griffende 41 in seiner horizontalen Lage hält. Auch in diesem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel besteht zwischen dem Stift 13a und dem innerhalb der Nut 13b sich befindenden ersten Griffende 41 eine Spielpassung, so dass während der Betätigung des Griffelementes 40 nahezu keine Reibung zwischen beiden genannten Bauteilen 13a, 41 entsteht.5, a further embodiment of the invention is shown, wherein the first handle end 41 is received within the bearing element 22. The bearing element 22 is formed on the pin 13 a, which forms the first axis of rotation 13. Instead of the first and second bearing elements 22a, 22b, the first grip end 41, which is likewise embodied as a slot as in FIGS. 1 to 4, is reliably held by a groove 13b formed on the pin 13a. The remaining arrangement of the device 10 according to the invention essentially corresponds to the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4. While the handle element 40 is actuated by the user, the first handle end 41 pivots about the first axis of rotation 13, the groove 13b the first end of the handle 41 in its horizontal position holds. In this second exemplary embodiment, there is also a clearance fit between the pin 13a and the first grip end 41 located within the groove 13b, so that virtually no friction between the two components 13a, 41 occurs during the actuation of the grip element 40.
Der Träger 1 1 ist des Weiteren mit einem Durchbruch 36 ausgeführt, in dem ein Schließzylinder (nicht dargestellt) in den Träger 11 eingeführt und dort befestigt wird. Auch der Schließzylinder kann einen Abgang aufweisen, der bei Betätigung des Schließzylinders auf den Verschluss einwirkt und diesen verriegelt bzw. entriegelt. Bezugszei chen l i steThe carrier 1 1 is further designed with an opening 36 in which a lock cylinder (not shown) is inserted into the carrier 11 and fastened there. Also, the lock cylinder may have a departure, which acts upon actuation of the lock cylinder on the closure and this locks or unlocked. Reference numeral left
