Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a swing arm unit for a side door of a vehicle configured to allow a side door of a vehicle to swing outward and rearward with respect to a vehicle body from a closed position to an open position and in the opposite direction from the open position to the closed position.
  • the invention also relates to a car provided with such a swing arm unit.
  • a front side door extending between the so called A pillar and B pillar of the car body and a rear side door extending between the B pillar and C pillar of the car body.
  • the front side door is normally hinged to the A pillar so as to swing out forward when being opened
  • the rear side door is normally hinged to the B pillar so as to swing out forward when being opened.
  • the conventional hinge of a rear side door of a car is sometimes replaced by a swing arm, which is mounted to the C pillar of the car body so as to allow the rear side door to be opened by moving outward and rearward while remaining essentially in parallel with the adjacent side of the car.
  • the rear side door can be completely moved away from the door opening between the B pillar and the C pillar so as to, for instance, make it easier to introduce a wheelchair into the passenger seat through this door opening.
  • a swing arm unit to be included in a door operating device for a slide door of a vehicle is previously known from US 4 462 185 A .
  • This swing arm unit comprises a motor and a reduction gear acting between the motor and a driving pulley, wherein the motor and the reduction gear are mounted to a swing arm included in the swing arm unit.
  • the driving pulley is configured to drive a driving wheel, which in its turn co-operates with an engaging flange of the slide door in order to move the slide door along a set of guide rails attached to the body of the vehicle.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a new and favourable swing arm unit for a side door of a vehicle.
  • the swing arm unit of the invention comprises:
  • the motor and the reduction gear system are mounted to the swing arm so as to be carried by the swing arm and move together with the swing arm when the swing arm is pivoted in relation to the first mounting bracket about said first pivot axis.
  • the actuating means for pivoting the swing arm in relation to the vehicle body i.e. the electric motor and the reduction gear system, are mounted to and carried by the swing arm itself.
  • no actuating means need to be mounted between the mounting bracket and the swing arm or between the vehicle body and the swing arm, which will make the swing arm unit compact and easy to install in a conventional private car and also make it possible to design the swing arm unit in such a manner that a swing arm unit of one and the same configuration may fit conventional cars of various models.
  • the swing arm unit of the invention can be delivered to the customer in a completely pre-assembled state.
  • gear wheels will make it possible to achieve a high gear ratio with a compact design of the reduction gear system.
  • the reduction gear system is mounted in an internal space of the swing arm.
  • the swing arm unit of the invention can hereby be given a compact design with a limited number of protruding parts and the gear members of the reduction gear system will be located in a protected manner inside the swing arm.
  • the pivoting of the swing arm in relation to the first mounting bracket and the pivoting of the second mounting bracket in relation to the swing arm can be achieved by means of one and the same motor, and the sprocket wheels can easily be adapted so as to control the pivoting of the second mounting bracket in such a manner that a side door mounted to the second mounting bracket will remain essentially in parallel with the side of the vehicle when the side door is opened and closed by means of the swing arm unit.
  • the flexible transmission member is located in an internal space of the swing arm.
  • the flexible transmission member will be located in a protected manner inside the swing arm.
  • the first sprocket wheel has a larger diameter than the second sprocket wheel.
  • the swing arm unit can be designed to move a rear side door of a car in such a manner between an open position essentially in parallel to the car body and a closed position that the rear side door will first hit the B pillar of the car body with its front edge so as to thereafter swing in relation to the B pillar until its rear edge comes into engagement with the C pillar of the car body.
  • the rear side door will consequently move in essentially the same manner as a corresponding rear side door conventionally hinged to the B pillar, which will allow the rear side door to co-operate properly with the front side door and the door pillars when the conventional hinge of the rear side door is replaced by the swing arm unit of the invention.
  • the transmission member will be pretensioned during the above-mentioned final part of the closing movement when the rear side door swings in relation to the B pillar until its rear edge comes into engagement with the C pillar.
  • the transmission member will remain pretensioned as long as the latch of the side door is engaged, and when the latch is released the rear edge of the side door will be forced a short distance outwards away from the C pillar under the effect of the pretensioning force in the transmission member. This will facilitate the opening of the door.
  • the invention also relates to a car having the features defined in claim 8.
  • Fig 1 illustrates a swing arm unit 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
