Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schloss und ein Schlossträgerstützteil für eine Tür oder Klappe eines Kraftfahrzeugs, mit den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmalen.The invention relates to a lock and a lock carrier support member for a door or flap of a motor vehicle, having the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Ein bekanntes Schloss ist in der DE 10 2010 041 743 A1 beschrieben, das eine separate Baueinheit mit einem Schlossträger aufweist, an dem eine von einem Federelement von einer Verriegelungslage in eine Offenlage belastete Drehfalle und eine von einem Federteil von einer Entriegelungslage in eine Sperrlage zur Drehfalle belastete Sperrklinke jeweils um eine zugeordnete Achse schwenkbar angeordnet sind. Das Schloss weist ein ein- oder mehrteiliges, zumindest mittelbar mit einer Handhabe verbundenes Übertragungselement auf, über das die Sperrklinke in eine die Drehfalle frei gebende Entriegelungslage verstellbar ist, wenn das Übertragungselement zumindest mittelbar an einem an der Karosserie verstellbaren Verstellteil angekoppelt ist, das kurz vor der Montage der Baueinheit bei einer Annäherung der Baueinheit an eine Einbaulage an dem Verstellteil ankoppelt. Das Übertragungselement ist beispielsweise das Seil eines Bowdenzugs, das an einem Hebelarm des beispielsweise als Schwenkhebel ausgebildeten Verstellteiles angelenkt ist. Bei der Annäherung der Baueinheit an die Einbaulage kommen abgewinkelte Flansche an dem Schlossträger von oben an abgewinkelten Gegenflanschen an einem karosseriefesten Schlossträger-Stützteil zur Anlage, die dann über Befestigungsmittel, beispielsweise Schrauben, mit dem Schlossträger Stützteil zu verbinden sind. Der Schlossträger erscheint durch einen üblichen Einführschlitz im Schlossträger für den mit der Drehfalle zusammen wirkenden Schließbolzen geschwächt. Die Abstützungen des Schlossträgers im Bereich der Flansche und Gegenflansche sind bei einer unfallbedingten Belastung des Schlosses extremen Belastungen ausgesetzt, die eventuell Verformungen der Flansche und/oder Gegenflansche bewirken. Bei einer extremen unfallbedingten Belastung des Schlosses dürften sich dadurch eventuell durch elastische Verformungen die Achsen der Drehfalle und der Sperrklinke so voneinander entfernen, dass die Sperrklinke die Drehfalle nicht mehr verriegelt halten kann.A well-known castle is in the DE 10 2010 041 743 A1 described, which has a separate assembly with a lock carrier on which a of a spring element from a locking position in an open position loaded rotary latch and one of a spring part of a release position in a locked position to the catch latched pawl are each pivotally mounted about an associated axis. The lock has a one-part or multi-part, at least indirectly connected to a handle transmission element over which the pawl is adjustable in an unlocking position releasing the catch, if the transmission element is at least indirectly coupled to an adjustable adjusting part on the body, the shortly before the mounting of the assembly coupled with an approach of the assembly to an installation position on the adjustment. The transmission element is, for example, the rope of a Bowden cable, which is articulated on a lever arm of the adjusting part designed, for example, as a pivoting lever. When approaching the unit to the mounting position angled flanges come to the lock carrier from the top of angled mating flanges on a body-mounted lock carrier support member to the system, which are then to connect via fasteners, such as screws, with the lock carrier support member. The lock carrier appears through a conventional insertion slot in the lock carrier for weakened the locking bolt cooperating with the catch. The supports of the lock carrier in the area of the flanges and mating flanges are exposed to extreme loads in case of accidental loading of the lock, which may cause deformations of the flanges and / or mating flanges. In the case of an extreme accidental load on the lock, this may possibly result in elastic deformations in which the axles of the catch and the pawl are moved away from one another such that the pawl can no longer hold the catch locked.

Ferner zeigt die EP 1 081 318 A1 einen Kasten zur Montage eines Heckklappenschlosses mit Befestigungsflanschen an einem Kraftfahrzeug.Furthermore, the shows EP 1 081 318 A1 a box for mounting a tailgate lock with mounting flanges on a motor vehicle.

Des Weiteren zeigt die FR 2 773 580 A1 ein Schlossgehäuse, das mittels federnder Vorsprünge an einer Grundplatte vormatierbar ist.Furthermore, the shows FR 2 773 580 A1 a lock housing, which is pre-matable by means of resilient projections on a base plate.

Schließlich zeigt die GB 2 347 458 A ein gattungsgemäßes Schloss.Finally, the shows GB 2 347 458 A a generic castle.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Schloss und ein Schlossträger-Stützteil für eine Tür oder Klappe eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit den Merkmalen im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 anzugeben, wobei das Schloss hohe unfallbedingte Belastungen ohne Funktionsbeeinträchtigungen aufnehmen und mit geringen Abmessungen gefertigt werden kann.The invention is based on the object to provide a lock and a lock carrier support member for a door or flap of a motor vehicle with the features in the preamble of claim 1, wherein the castle record high accidental loads without functional impairments and can be manufactured with small dimensions.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Merkmale im Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen entnehmbar.This object is solved by the features in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the dependent claims.

Das Schloss für eine Tür oder Klappe eines Kraftfahrzeugs weist eine separate Baueinheit mit einem Schlossträger auf, an dem eine von einem Federelement von einer Verriegelungslage in eine Offenlage belastete Drehfalle und eine von einem Federteil von einer Entriegelungslage in eine Sperrlage zur Drehfalle belastete Sperrklinke jeweils um eine zugeordnete Achse schwenkbar angeordnet sind. Ein ein- oder mehrteiliges, zumindest mittelbar mit einer Handhabe verbundenes Übertragungselement ist zumindest nach der Montage der Baueinheit zumindest mittelbar mit einem Hebelarm der Sperrklinke verbunden. Die in ihre Einbaulage gebrachte Baueinheit untergreift mit wenigstens einem Stützwandbereich einen karosseriefesten Gegenstützwandbereich. Außerdem übergreift in der Einbaulage der Baueinheit wenigstens ein anderer Stützwandbereich einen anderen karosseriefesten Gegenstützwandbereich. Die in Einbaulage befindliche Baueinheit ist zumindest im Bereich des anderen Stützwandbereiches über wenigstens ein Befestigungselement mit dem anderen Gegenstützwandbereich lösbar oder unlösbar verbunden. Insbesondere der einen karosseriefesten Gegenstützwandbereich untergreifende Stützwandbereich der Baueinheit, beispielsweise des Schlossträgers, kann auch extreme unfallbedingte Belastungen des Schlosses aufnehmen und beispielsweise ohne ein zusätzliches Befestigungselement auf den ortsfesten Gegenstützwandbereich übertragen. Beim Verstellen der Baueinheit in der Zugangsöffnung in die Einbaulage kann wenigstens ein Vorsprung an dem Schlossträger oder an einem damit verbundenen Bauteil der Baueinheit und/oder an der Fahrzeugkarosserie oder gegebenenfalls an dem Schlossträger-Stützteil in eine Ausnehmung in dem anderen Teil, in dem Schlossträger-Stützteil oder in der Fahrzeugkarosserie oder in dem Schlossträger oder einem mit dem Schlossträger verbundenen Bauteil der Baueinheit eingreifen und dadurch einen Wandbereich der Ausnehmung derart über oder untergreift, dass bei einer unfallbedingten Belastung und eventuellen Verformung von Schlossteilen und/oder der Karosserie im Zusammenwirken des Vorsprunges mit dem benachbarten Randbereich der Ausnehmung die Baueinheit nicht oder nicht wesentlich aus der Zugangsöffnung verlagert werden kann, selbst wenn dabei das Befestigungselement beschädigt oder zerstört wird. Beispielsweise am vorstehenden Randbereich des Vorsprunges kann eine Abwinkelung ausgebildet sein, die beim unfallbedingten Zusammenwirken des Vorsprunges mit dem benachbarten Randbereich der Ausnehmung ein Abgleiten des Vorsprunges von dem Randbereich der Ausnehmung verhindert.The lock for a door or flap of a motor vehicle has a separate structural unit with a lock carrier on which a one of a spring element from a locking position in an open position loaded rotary latch and a spring part of a release position in a locked position to the catch latch pawl each to a associated axis are arranged pivotally. On one or more parts, at least indirectly connected to a handle transmission element is at least indirectly connected to a lever arm of the pawl, at least after assembly of the assembly. The assembly placed in its mounting position engages with at least one support wall area a body-fixed counter support wall area. In addition, in the installation position of the unit, at least one other support wall area overlaps another body-fixed counter support wall area. The assembly located in the installation position is at least in the region of the other support wall area via at least one fastener with the other Gegenstützwandbereich releasably or permanently connected. In particular, the support portion of the unit, such as the lock carrier, which engages under a body-fixed counter-support wall area, can also absorb extreme accident-related loads on the lock and, for example, transmit it to the stationary counter-support wall area without an additional fastening element. When adjusting the assembly in the access opening in the installed position, at least one projection on the lock carrier or on an associated component of the unit and / or on the vehicle body or possibly on the lock carrier support member in a recess in the other part, in the Schlossträger- Support part or in the vehicle body or in the lock carrier or a connected to the lock carrier component of the unit and thereby a wall portion of the recess over or under engages that at an accidental load and eventual deformation of lock parts and / or the body in the interaction of the projection with the adjacent edge region of the recess, the assembly can not or can not be significantly shifted from the access opening, even if the fastener is damaged or destroyed. For example, at the projecting edge region of the projection, a bend can be formed, which prevents the protrusion from sliding off the edge region of the recess when the projection interacts with the adjacent edge region of the recess during accidental interaction.
