Definitions

  • the locking unit has a biased towards a locking element detent body.
  • the locking element is provided in fixed angular positions with a locking mark, in which the locking body arrives to lock the door bracket.
  • the permissible tolerances which are set to the arrangement of the locking body in the detent body, very small. In the event of deviations from the permissible tolerance range, unwanted and unacceptable noise pollution otherwise occurs when the locking body is passed over the detent element with the detent marks.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a motor vehicle door hinge of the type mentioned above, which prevents the formation of noise that may occur by driving over the Rast michselements with the locking body, even in larger tolerance ranges.
  • Characteristic of the motor vehicle door hinge according to the invention is that damping elements are provided at least in sections in the contact region between the latching body and the latching body receptacle.
  • the cooperating with the Rastsammlungselement locking body is held by the Rast emotions similarly relative to the hinge pin in its position.
  • the locking body carrier on a detent body receiving which is such that the locking body cooperates with the Rast réelleselement and arrives to lock the door bracket opposite the column console with the at least one locking mark on the detent element in a predetermined angular position.
  • the RastAvem in particular the detent body receptacle, for relative fixing of the detent body relative to the hinge pin, so as to ensure a secure locking of the door bracket.
  • the detent body is movable in addition to a relative attachment to the RastShips simultaneously in the direction of the Rast istselement to ensure cooperation of the detent body with the locking marks.
  • the detent body is arranged at a distance from the detent body receptacle. If the distance is too great, however, noises that are not tolerable for the user are produced, in particular when the stop mark is passed over.
  • damping elements in the area of contact between the latching body and the latching body receptacle are arranged.
  • the arrangement of the damping elements is such that this does not hinder the mobility of the detent body in the direction of the detent element, however, noise pollution caused by an interaction of the detent body with the inner surfaces of the detent body, can be prevented.
  • the damping elements which can be produced particularly cost-effectively and can be arranged in the contact region between the latching body and the latching body receptacle, prevent striking of the latching body on the latching body receptacle, so that noise pollution is reliably prevented.
  • the high reliability of the motor vehicle door hinge remains after the locking body reliably held on the locking body carrier in position and is displaceable in the direction of the locking element.
  • the damping elements are arranged on the locking body.
  • a plurality of damping elements are attached to the detent body prior to assembly of the motor vehicle door hinge.
  • the locking body is positioned in the catch body receptacle.
  • Essential for the function of the motor vehicle door hinge according to the invention is that the detent body is biased in the direction of the detent element, so that this passes in the movement over the detent element in the locking marks.
  • the damping elements are arranged at the ends at opposite ends of the locking body, that these rest in sections on an upper side and underside of the Rast istselements.
  • regions of the surfaces preferably extending at right angles to the abutment surfaces of the damping elements with the detent body receiving rest on the upper side or underside of the detent element and thus ensure a positional securing of the detent body in its axial direction, so that there is no need for additional means for securing the position of the detent body can be.
  • the design of the detent body is basically arbitrary. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the locking body is formed by a cylindrical pin body having end-mounted damping elements. According to this embodiment of the invention, the pin body extends in a corresponding latching body receptacle, wherein the pin body has at its ends in each case a damping element, with which the latching body rests in the latching body receptacle.
  • the pen body may additionally have offset end regions, which in axia- ler direction allow a determination of the damping elements.
  • this embodiment of the invention also has the possibilities of easy installation, so that the motor vehicle door hinge can be produced in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner.
  • the design of the detent body receptacle is freely selectable, but it is particularly advantageously provided that the detent body is arranged in a cross-sectionally U-shaped detent body receptacle in such a way that the detent body projects in sections from the detent body receptacle in the direction of the detent element.
  • the configuration of the detent body receptacle with a U-shaped cross-section can be produced particularly easily. Furthermore, it ensures on the one hand a secure positioning of the detent body on the detent body and on the other hand, a secure interaction of the detent body is achieved with the locking element arranged in the region of the U-shaped openings through the U-shaped opening.
  • the U-shaped detent body receptacle allows a simple configuration of the damping element arranged on the detent body. This can be particularly simple and inexpensive designed such that between the damping element and the inner surfaces of the detent body receiving a planar arrangement is made, which ensures a particularly reliable damping and at the same time causes a high positional securing the detent body.
  • the damping elements protrude in sections from the detent body receiving.
  • This embodiment of the invention makes it possible to use areas of the damping elements in addition to the storage in the detent body recording further to achieve in other areas, a damping of the relative movement of the door bracket relative to the column console.
  • the damping elements in the region of at least one end position of the pivoting portion of the door bracket relative to the column console can be brought into engagement with a stop element.
  • the damping elements thus also serve to damp the movement of the door bracket relative to the column console in the region of a maximum end position.
  • a stop element for the damping elements is formed on the detent element, which makes it possible to dispense with additional stop elements for damping the movement of the motor vehicle door hinge in the region of an end position.
  • the spring element is supported at one end on the detent body and the other end to a voltage applied to the detent body molding.
  • the use of a molded part ensures a consistent and producible support of the locking body relative to the spring element. Unequal preloads, as they may, for example, arise because the catch body, in particular a pin body, in the region of a turn is applied, can be avoided by the use of a molding.
  • the molded part in this case has a bearing section extending axially relative to a helical compression spring and a contact plate resting against the detent body.
  • the bearing section extends axially to the turns of the helical compression spring and ensures good positioning of the molding on the helical compression spring.
  • the contact plate in turn limits the position of the molded part in the axial direction of the helical compression spring and at the same time ensures a secure contact of the detent body on the contact plate, wherein the contact plate is particularly advantageously adapted to the outer contour of the detent body, so as to be able to ensure a flat contact.
  • the design of the damping elements and its arrangement in the contact region between the locking body and the detent body receptacle is basically freely selectable.
  • the damping elements have an adapted to the cross section of the detent body inner contour and / or adapted to the cross section of the detent body receiving outer contour.
  • This embodiment of the invention enables a secure positioning of the damping elements on the detent body and against the detent body, wherein in a matched to the inner and outer contour configuration of the damping elements abut both the surface of the detent body and also flat on the detent body.
  • the damping elements can basically consist of any material which dampens the movements of the detent body in the direction of the contact surfaces of the detent body receiving and thereby reduces noise.
  • the damping elements are formed of a plastic body, in particular of an elastomer. Such damping elements can be produced in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner and arranged on the motor vehicle door hinge.
  • the design of the Rast miching elements as well as the detent body is basically freely selectable. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the detent element and / or the detent body are formed of hardened, in particular surface-hardened steel.
  • the inventive design of the motor vehicle door hinge using damping elements makes it possible to make an appropriate choice of material for the Rast michselement and / or the locking body, after noise pollution can be prevented in a reliable manner by the damping elements.
  • the choice of a hardened or surface-hardened steel to produce the detent element and / or the detent body ensures a long service life of the motor vehicle door hinge.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a motor vehicle door hinge 1 is shown.
  • This has a door bracket 2 and a pillar bracket 3, via which the motor vehicle door hinge can be fastened to a vehicle body not shown here and a vehicle door, also not shown here.
