Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Türfeststeller für Kraftfahrzeuge, mit einem mit der einen von Kraftfahrzeugtür oder Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie verbindbaren Rastelement und einer mit der anderen von Kraftfahrzeugtür oder Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie verbindbaren, relativ gegenüber dem Rastelement verstellbaren und an dem Rastelement anliegenden Rastfläche.The invention relates to a door lock for motor vehicles, with a connectable to the one of motor vehicle door or vehicle body locking element and connectable to the other of motor vehicle door or motor vehicle body, relative to the locking element adjustable and applied to the locking element locking surface.

Türfeststeller der eingangs genannten Art sind aus dem Stand der Technik in vielfältigen Ausgestaltungen bekannt. Sie dienen dazu, eine Kraftfahrzeugtür in durch die Ausgestaltung des Türfeststellers festgelegten Öffnungswinkeln der Kraftfahrzeugtür gegenüber der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie gegen ein ungewolltes Weiterschwenken zu arretieren. Die Türfeststeller weisen dabei ein Rastelement auf, welches an einer relativ gegenüber den Rastelementen verstellbaren Rastfläche anliegt, sodass das Rastelement die Rastfläche in Abhängigkeit von den an der Rastfläche angeordneten Rastmarken arretiert. Aufgrund der Wirkverbindung des Rastelements mit der Kraftfahrzeugtür oder Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie und der Verbindung der Rastfläche mit der anderen von Kraftfahrzeugtür oder Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie erfolgt somit über das Zusammenwirken von Rastelement und Rastfläche eine Arretierung der Kraftfahrzeugtür -Door retainers of the type mentioned are known from the prior art in a variety of configurations. They serve to lock a motor vehicle door in defined by the configuration of the door arrester opening angles of the motor vehicle door relative to the vehicle body against unwanted further pivoting. In this case, the door retainers have a latching element which abuts against a latching surface which is adjustable relative to the latching elements, so that the latching element locks the latching surface as a function of the latching marks arranged on the latching surface. Due to the operative connection of the latching element with the motor vehicle door or motor vehicle body and the connection of the latching surface with the other of the motor vehicle door or motor vehicle body, a locking of the motor vehicle door thus takes place via the interaction of latching element and latching surface.

Der Türfeststeller kann als integraler Bestandteil eines Kraftfahrzeugtürscharniers ausgebildet sein, welches zur gelenkigen Anordnung der Kraftfahrzeugtür an der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie dient. Alternativ kann der Türfeststeller jedoch auch als separates Bauteil ausgeführt sein, welches allein der Arretierung der Kraftfahrzeugtür in vorbestimmten Öffnungswinkeln dient. Sowohl der integrierte Türfeststeller wie auch der separate Türfeststeller haben gemein, dass eine Relativbewegung der Rastfläche gegenüber dem Rastelement in Abhängigkeit von der Schwenkbewegung der Tür gegenüber der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie erfolgt, sodass über die Anordnung von Rastmarken an der Rastfläche die Öffnungswinkel bestimmt werden können, in denen eine Arretierung der Kraftfahrzeugtür gegenüber der Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie erfolgt.The door arrester may be formed as an integral part of a motor vehicle door hinge, which serves for the articulated arrangement of the motor vehicle door on the motor vehicle body. Alternatively, however, the door lock may also be designed as a separate component, which alone serves to lock the motor vehicle door in predetermined opening angles. Both the integrated door lock as well as the separate door lock have in common that a relative movement of the locking surface relative to the locking element in response to the pivoting movement of the door relative to the vehicle body, so that the opening angle can be determined by the arrangement of locking marks on the locking surface, in which a Locking the motor vehicle door relative to the vehicle body is done.

Aus der WO 02/14637 A1 ist ein Türfeststeller für Kraftfahrzeuge bekannt, mit einer an einem Türanordnungsteil, einer Tür oder einer Türsäule parallel zur Türanlenkung angelenkten Türhaltestange und einem am anderen Türanordnungsteil befestigten Halteteil. Das Halteteil und die dieses durchsetzende Türhaltestange sind über eine eine bestimmte Öffnungsstellung der Tür definierende Rasteinrichtung zueinander beweglich miteinander verbunden. Die Rasteinrichtung weist Brems- und/oder Haltekörper auf, die gegen eine Federlast relativ zur Türhaltestange beweglich im Halteteil abgestützt und gegen auf zumindest einer Seite der Türhaltestange quer zur Bewegungsrichtung angeordnete Bremsrampen und Rastvertiefungen vorgespannt sind. Die Türhaltestange weist auf der mit dem Brems- und/oder Haltekörper in Kontakt stehenden Fläche Nuten zum Abtransport von auf der Fläche abgelagerten Verschmutzungen auf, wobei sich die Nuten auf beiden Seiten von der Mitte bis an den Rand der Fläche erstrecken.From the WO 02/14637 A1 a door check for motor vehicles is known, with a hinged to a door assembly part, a door or a door pillar parallel to the Türanlenkung door retaining bar and a holding part attached to the other door assembly part. The holding part and this passing through the door retaining bar are connected to each other via a certain opening position of the door defining latching device to each other movable. The latching device has brake and / or holding body, which are supported against a spring load relative to the door holding rod movable in the holding part and biased against on at least one side of the door retaining bar arranged transversely to the direction of movement braking ramps and locking recesses. The door retaining bar has grooves on the surface in contact with the braking and / or holding body for removing contaminants deposited on the surface, the grooves extending on both sides from the center to the edge of the surface.

Aus der FR2324845 ist die Verwendung einer Nut der Türhaltestange eines Türfeststellers zur Aufnahme von Schmiermitteln bekannt.From the FR2324845 is the use of a groove of the door retaining rod of a door arrester for receiving lubricants known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine alternative Verwendung eines Türfeststellers anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide an alternative use of a door arrester.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe durch die Verwendung gemäß Anspruch 1.The invention achieves the object by the use according to claim 1.

Die Verwendung einer Nut als Vertiefung zeichnet sich dabei dadurch aus, dass sie die Aufnahme eines großen Schmiermitteldepots ermöglicht, wobei gleichzeitig die Funktion des Türfeststellers nicht beeinträchtigt wird.The use of a groove as a recess is characterized by the fact that it allows the inclusion of a large lubricant deposits, while the function of the door arrester is not affected.

Erfindungsgemäß dient die Nut nicht allein zur Bereitstellung eines Schmiermitteldepots sondern ist darüber hinaus derart ausgebildet, insbesondere angeordnet und ausgerichtet, dass über das Zusammenwirken der Rastfläche mit dem Rastelement eine Verteilung des Schmiermittels während des Betriebs bewirkt wird, welches den zuverlässigen Betrieb des Türfeststellers in ergänzender Weise durch eine gleichmäßige Schmiermittelverteilung gewährleistet.According to the invention, the groove is not solely used to provide a lubricant reservoir but is also designed, in particular arranged and aligned, that over the interaction of the locking surface with the locking element, a distribution of the lubricant is effected during operation, which the reliable operation of the door arrester in a complementary manner ensured by a uniform lubricant distribution.

Die Ausrichtung der Nuten kann dabei den auftretenden Belastungen entsprechend grundsätzlich frei gewählt werden. So ist beispielsweise eine Ausrichtung der Nut parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung der Rastfläche gegenüber den Rastelementen oder aber auch eine rechtwinklig zur Bewegungsrichtung ausgerichtete Anordnung der Nuten denkbar. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass sich die Nut unter einem Winkel von 10° - 60° , bevorzugt von 25° - 45°, besonders bevorzugt 20° - 40°, insbesondere 35° gegenüber der Bewegungsrichtung der Rastfläche relativ zum Rastelement erstreckt.The orientation of the grooves can be chosen according to the loads occurring basically free. Thus, for example, an alignment of the groove parallel to the direction of movement of the latching surface relative to the latching elements or even a right angle to the direction of orientation of the grooves conceivable. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the groove at an angle of 10 ° - 60 °, preferably from 25 ° - 45 °, more preferably 20 ° - 40 °, in particular 35 ° relative to the direction of movement of the locking surface relative extends to the locking element.

Gemäß dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Nuten relativ zur Bewegungsrichtung der Rastfläche relativ gegenüber den Rastelementen bei einem Verschwenken der mit dem Türfeststeller verbundenen Kraftfahrzeugtür ausgerichtet. Die Nut verläuft dabei unter einem der vorgenannten Winkel zur sich durch die Bewegungsrichtung ergebenden Längsachse. Eine entsprechend geneigte Anordnung der Nut gewährleistet eine besonders gleichmäßige und zuverlässige Schmiermittelverteilung über die gesamte mit dem Rastelement in Kontakt befindliche Rastfläche. Aufgrund der wechselnden Bewegungsrichtung der Rastfläche gegenüber dem Rastelement kann über die entsprechende Ausrichtung der Nuten die Schmiermittelverteilung in einfacher Weise bestimmt werden.According to this embodiment of the invention, the grooves are aligned relative to the direction of movement of the latching surface relative to the latching elements in a pivoting of the motor vehicle door connected to the door arrester. The groove extends at one of the aforementioned angles to the resulting by the direction of movement longitudinal axis. A correspondingly inclined arrangement of the groove ensures a particularly uniform and reliable distribution of lubricant over the entire detent surface in contact with the detent element. Due to the changing direction of movement of the latching surface relative to the latching element, the lubricant distribution can be determined in a simple manner via the corresponding alignment of the grooves.

Grundsätzlich werden die Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen Türfeststellers bereits durch die Anordnung einer Vertiefung, welche nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung durch eine Nut gebildet ist, erreicht. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Kontaktfläche jedoch mindestens zwei Nuten auf, die besonders bevorzugt zueinander geneigt verlaufen. Gemäß dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird durch mindestens eine weitere Nut das Schmiermitteldepot in ergänzender Weise gesteigert, sowie durch eine geneigte Anordnung der Nuten zueinander die Schmiermittelverteilung in ergänzender Weise verbessert. Die Nuten können dabei parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sein oder aber zueinander geneigt sein, wobei die Neigung gegenüber der Bewegungsrichtung der Rastfläche gegenüber dem Rastelement bei beiden Nuten überstimmend sein kann, oder aber eine abweichende Neigung vorliegt.In principle, the advantages of the door arrester according to the invention are already achieved by the arrangement of a depression, which according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention is formed by a groove. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, the contact surface has at least two grooves, which are particularly preferably inclined to each other. According to this embodiment of the invention, the lubricant reservoir is increased in a complementary manner by at least one further groove, as well as improved by an inclined arrangement of the grooves to each other, the lubricant distribution in a complementary manner. The grooves can be aligned parallel to each other or be inclined to each other, wherein the inclination relative to the direction of movement of the locking surface relative to the locking element in both grooves can be out of tune, or there is a different inclination.

Die Ausgestaltung der Nuten kann grundsätzlich frei gewählt werden. So können diese beispielsweise endseitig verschlossen sein oder aber derart in die Oberfläche der Rastelemente eingebracht sein, dass diese stirnseitig offen sind. Auch kann eine Ausgestaltung der Nuten vorgesehen sein, bei der sich der Querschnitt der Nut über deren Längserstreckung verändert. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist ferner vorgesehen, dass die Nuten einen U- und/oder V-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisen, durch den zum einen ein hohes Schmiermitteldepot bereitgestellt werden kann, gleichzeitig jedoch auch eine gute Schmiermittelverteilung gewährleistet wird.The configuration of the grooves can basically be chosen freely. Thus, for example, these can be closed at the end or can be introduced into the surface of the latching elements in such a way that they are open on the front side. Also, an embodiment of the grooves may be provided, in which the cross section of the groove changes over its longitudinal extent. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is further provided that the grooves have a U- and / or V-shaped cross-section through which on the one hand a high lubricant depot can be provided, but at the same time also a good distribution of lubricant is ensured.

Wie bereits eingangs dargestellt, kann der Türfeststeller integraler Bestandteil eines Türscharniers sein. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass die Rastfläche an einer Türhaltestange ausgebildet ist und das Rastelement in Richtung auf die Türhaltestange vorgespannt ist. Gemäß dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist der Türfeststeller eine üblicherweise mit der Fahrzeugkarosserie verbindbare Türhaltestange auf, welche über den Schwenkbereich der Kraftfahrzeugtür mit einem an der Kraftfahrzeugtür angeordneten Rastelement in Eingriff befindlich ist, wobei durch eine Verschwenkung der Kraftfahrzeugtür eine Bewegung der Rastfläche gegenüber dem Rastelement erfolgt. Eine Vorspannung des Rastelements in Richtung auf die Türhaltestange gewährleistet dabei eine zuverlässige Anordnung des Rastelements an der Rastfläche, wodurch die Funktion des Türfeststellers in besonderer Weise gewährleistet wird.As already mentioned, the door lock can be an integral part of a door hinge. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the latching surface is formed on a door retaining bar and the latching element is biased in the direction of the door retaining bar. According to this embodiment of the invention, the door lock on a usually connectable to the vehicle body door retaining rod, which is located over the pivot region of the motor vehicle door with a arranged on the motor vehicle door latching element in engagement, wherein by pivoting the motor vehicle door, a movement of the locking surface relative to the locking element. A bias of the locking element in the direction of the door retaining rod ensures a reliable arrangement of the locking element on the locking surface, whereby the function of the door arrester is guaranteed in a special way.

Die Anordnung des Rastelements kann ebenfalls grundsätzlich in beliebiger Weise erfolgen. Im Rahmen eines Türscharniers mit integriertem Türfeststeller kann das Rastelement beispielsweise in einer entsprechenden Aufnahme in dem Türscharnier angeordnet sein, wobei die Anordnung derart erfolgt, dass eine Anlage an der Rastfläche gewährleistet ist. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass im Falle der vorteilhafterweise vorgesehenen Anordnung der Rastfläche an einer Türhaltestange das in Richtung auf die Türhaltestange vorgespannte Rastelement an einer Rastschwinge angeordnet ist. Die Verwendung einer Rastschwinge ermöglicht es, über den Abstand der gelenkigen Anordnung der Rastschwinge zu dem Rastelement sowie über die gewählte Vorspannung die Anpresskraft des Rastelements an der Kontaktfläche in einfacher Weise einzustellen.The arrangement of the locking element can also basically be done in any way. In the context of a door hinge with an integrated door arrester, the detent element can be arranged, for example, in a corresponding receptacle in the door hinge, the arrangement being such that an abutment on the detent surface is ensured. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that in the case of advantageously provided arrangement of the locking surface on a door retaining rod in the direction of the door retaining rod biased locking element is arranged on a latching rocker. The use of a latching rocker makes it possible to adjust over the distance of the articulated arrangement of the latching rocker to the locking element as well as the selected bias the contact pressure of the locking element on the contact surface in a simple manner.

Eine in die Rastschwinge 2a eingebrachte, dem Rastelement 1a gegenüberliegend angeordnete Vertiefung 5a dient zur Aufnahme einer hier nicht dargestellten Schraubendruckfeder, mittels derer die Rastschwingen 2a in Richtung auf die Türhaltestange 7 vorgespannt sind.An alternative embodiment of a latching rocker 2b is in Fig. 2 shown. This, in contrast to the in Fig. 1 and 3 illustrated latching rocker 2a a perpendicular to the direction of movement of the locking surface 6 relative to the latching element 1b extending groove 3b. How out Fig. 3 it can be seen, the door lock 9 on two locking wings 2a, which abut on opposite sides of the door retaining bar 7 on the locking surfaces 6. An introduced into the locking rocker 2a, the latching element 1a oppositely disposed recess 5a serves to receive a helical compression spring, not shown here, by means of which the latching arms 2a are biased in the direction of the door retaining bar 7.

In Fig. 4 ist ein Türfeststeller 9 mit alternativ ausgestalteten Rastschwingen 2c dargestellt, bei denen die Vertiefungen 5b die parallel zur Türhaltestange 7 erfolgende Anordnung der Schraubendruckfeder 12 ermöglichen. Die aus einer kunststoffummantelten Metallstange gebildete Türhaltestange 7 des Türfeststellers 9 ist einerseits über einen Bolzen 14 gelenkig mit einer Säulenkonsole 15 verbunden. Über die Säulenkonsole 15, welche eine Öffnung 16 zur Aufnahme einer hier nicht dargestellten Befestigungsschraube aufweist, ist die Türhaltestange 7 verschwenkbar an einer hier nicht dargestellten Fahrzeugkarosserie befestigbar. Die Türhaltestange 7 ist in einer Durchtrittsöffnung eines an einer hier nicht dargestellten Fahrzeugtür festlegbaren Haltergehäuses 10 angeordnet. Im Falle eines Verschwenkens der Fahrzeugtür gegenüber der Fahrzeugkarosserie wird das an der Fahrzeugtür befestigte Haltergehäuse 10 relativ gegenüber der Türhaltestange 7 verschoben, wobei zur Festlegung eines maximalen Öffnungswinkels der Fahrzeugtür die Türhaltestange 7 an ihrem der Fahrzeugtür zugewandten Ende einen Anschlagkörper 8 aufweist, der an seiner dem Haltergehäuse 10 zugewandten Seite zur Dämpfung des Endanschlages einen Dämpfungskörper besitzt.In Fig. 4 a door lock 9 is shown with alternatively configured latching rockers 2c, in which the recesses 5b allow the parallel to the door holding rod 7 taking place arrangement of the helical compression spring 12. The door retaining rod 7 of the door arrester 9, which is formed from a plastic-coated metal rod, is connected, on the one hand, by means of a bolt 14 to an articulated column console 15. About the column bracket 15, which has an opening 16 for receiving a fastening screw, not shown here, the door retaining rod 7 is pivotally mounted on a vehicle body, not shown fastened here. The door retaining bar 7 is arranged in a passage opening of a holder housing 10 which can be fixed to a vehicle door (not shown here). In the case of a pivoting of the vehicle door relative to the vehicle body, the fastened to the vehicle door holder housing 10 is displaced relative to the door retaining bar 7, wherein defining a maximum opening angle of the vehicle door, the door retaining bar 7 at its end facing the vehicle door has a stopper body 8, at its the Holder housing 10 facing side for damping the end stop has a damping body.

Die Türhaltestange 7 weist an ihrer -in der Einbaulage Ober- und Unterseite- Rastflächen mit 6 Rastnuten 17 auf, die mit den Rastelementen 1c, die durch die Schraubendruckfedern 12 in Richtung auf die Rastflächen 6 vorgespannt sind, in Eingriff befindlich sind.The door retaining bar 7 has at its -in the installed position top and bottom locking surfaces with 6 locking grooves 17 which are engaged with the locking elements 1 c, which are biased by the compression coil springs 12 in the direction of the locking surfaces 6, in engagement.

Die Rastschwingen 2c sind auf den im Haltergehäuse 10 befestigten Gelenkbolzen 4 gelagert, die sich senkrecht zur durch den Gelenkbolzen 14 vorgegebenen Schwenkachse der Fahrzeugtür erstrecken. Die Schraubendruckfedern 12 sind einerseits an einer Anlagefläche 5b der Rastschwingen 2c und andererseits an einer in das Haltergehäuse 10 einschraubbaren und die Federkraft festlegenden Einstellschraube 13 abgestützt und spannen die Rastschwingen 2c in Richtung auf die Ober- und Unterseite der Türhaltestange 7 vor.The latching rockers 2 c are mounted on the hinge pin 4 fixed in the holder housing 10, which extend perpendicular to the predetermined by the hinge pin 14 pivot axis of the vehicle door. The helical compression springs 12 are on the one hand on a contact surface 5b of the latching rockers 2c and on the other hand on a screwed into the holder housing 10 and the spring force setting adjusting screw 13 is supported and bias the latching rockers 2 c in the direction of the top and bottom of the door retaining rod 7.

Im Bereich der Kontaktfläche 6 angeordnete, in Fig. 4 nicht dargestellte Nuten der Rastelemente 1c bilden ein Schmiermitteldepot, welches im Falle einer Verstellung der Türhaltestange 7 gegenüber den Rastschwingen 2 eine gleichmäßige und dauerhafte Schmierung gewährleistet.In the area of the contact surface 6 arranged in Fig. 4 not shown grooves of the locking elements 1c form a lubricant reservoir, which ensures a uniform and permanent lubrication in the case of an adjustment of the door retaining bar 7 relative to the latching rockers 2.
