Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Handhabe für eine Schließvorrichtung eines Kraftfahrzeuges, mit einem an einer Tür des Kraftfahrzeuges bewegbaren Griff, einem innenseitig der Tür vorgesehenen Montageträger, an dem ein mit dem Griff in Wirkverbindung stehender Umlenkhebel drehbar gelagert ist, einem am Montageträger angeordneten Sicherheitsmechanismus zum Verhindern eines ungewollten Öffnens der Tür in Folge von Einwirkungen von auf den Griff wirkenden Beschleunigungen, die insbesondere bei einem Unfall auf das Kraftfahrzeug wirken, wobei der Sicherheitsmechanismus eine Massensperre aufweist, die in eine Normalstellung und in eine Sperrstellung überführbar ist, wobei in der Sperrstellung eine Bewegung des Umlenkhebels blockiert ist.The invention relates to a handle for a locking device of a motor vehicle, with a movable on a door of the motor vehicle handle, an inside of the door provided mounting bracket on which a lever operatively connected to the lever is rotatably mounted, arranged on a mounting bracket safety mechanism to prevent a unintentional opening of the door as a result of effects of acting on the handle accelerations, which act in particular in an accident on the motor vehicle, wherein the safety mechanism has a mass lock, which can be converted into a normal position and in a blocking position, wherein in the locked position, a movement of the Reversing lever is blocked.

Es ist bekannt, dass Massensperren aufgrund ihrer Massenträgheit zur Sicherung von Kraftfahrzeugtüren im Falle eines Unfalls genutzt werden. Ein Stand der Technik ist beispielsweise aus der DE 199 49 119 A1 bekannt. Hierbei wird ein Massenelement derart angeordnet, dass es im Falle eines Unfalls auf die Sperreinheit einwirkt, sodass ein ungewolltes Öffnen der Tür verhindert wird. Die Sperreinheit besteht hierbei aus einem lose angeordneten Massenelement, welches bei auftretenden Kräften bei einem Unfall ein schwenkbares Sperrelement bewegt, wodurch eine Bewegung des Fahrzeuggriffs blockiert wird. Der erhöhte Montageaufwand einer derartigen Vorrichtung hat sich als nachteilig gezeigt. Zudem hat sich herausgestellt, dass derart komplexe Belastungen auf den Türgriff wirken können, mit der negativen Konsequenz, dass trotz des beschriebenen Stands der Technik ein ungewolltes Öffnen der Kraftfahrzeugtür nicht verhindert werden kann.It is known that mass barriers are used because of their inertia for securing motor vehicle doors in the event of an accident. A prior art is for example from the DE 199 49 119 A1 known. In this case, a mass element is arranged such that it acts in the event of an accident on the barrier unit, so that unintentional opening of the door is prevented. The locking unit here consists of a loosely arranged mass element which moves when forces occur in an accident, a pivotable locking element, whereby movement of the vehicle handle is blocked. The increased assembly costs of such a device has proved to be disadvantageous. In addition, it has been found that such complex loads can act on the door handle, with the negative consequence that, despite the described prior art, an unwanted opening of the vehicle door can not be prevented.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Handhabe für eine Schließvorrichtung eines Kraftfahrzeuges zu schaffen, die einen Sicherheitsmechanismus zur Verfügung stellt, der ein ungewolltes Öffnen der Tür infolge von Einwirkungen von auf den Griff wirkenden Beschleunigungen sicher verhindert.It is an object of the present invention to provide a handle for a locking device of a motor vehicle, which provides a safety mechanism that reliably prevents accidental opening of the door due to the effects of accelerations acting on the handle.

Dazu ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Massensperre am Montageträger um eine Achse derart bewegbar gelagert ist, dass unabhängig von der Richtung der wirkenden Beschleunigung eine Drehbewegung der Massensperre bewirkbar ist, wodurch eine zuverlässige Überführung der Massensperre in die Sperrstellung ermöglicht ist.For this purpose, the invention provides that the mass lock on the mounting bracket is mounted so movable about an axis that regardless of the direction of the acting acceleration, a rotational movement of the mass lock is effected, whereby a reliable transfer of the mass lock is enabled in the locked position.

Ein wesentlicher Kern der Erfindung ist, dass aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen, die beispielsweise auch entgegengesetzt sein können, die Massensperre ausgelenkt werden kann, sodass diese in eine Sperrstellung verfährt, wodurch ein ungewolltes Öffnen der Tür des Kraftfahrzeuges verhindert wird. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass gerade bei Unfällen sehr komplexe Kräfteeinwirkungen und/oder Beschleunigungen am Türgriff wirken können, die derart vom Sicherheitsmechanismus der Handhabe aufgefangen werden müssen, damit die Massensperre zuverlässig in die Sperrstellung überführbar ist. Hierbei ist die Massensperre drehbar um die Achse des Montageträgers gelagert, sodass bei einem Eintreten von Beschleunigungen, die auf das Kraftfahrzeug wirken, zuverlässig die Massensperre ausgelenkt wird und diese aus ihrer Normalstellung in die Sperrstellung überführt wird, in der eine Bewegung des Umlenkhebels blockiert ist, mit der Konsequenz, dass die Tür des Kraftfahrzeuges nicht ungewollt sich öffnet.An essential core of the invention is that from different directions, which may for example also be opposite, the mass lock can be deflected so that it moves into a blocking position, whereby accidental opening of the door of the motor vehicle is prevented. It has been found that especially in accidents very complex forces and / or accelerations can act on the door handle, which must be caught by the safety mechanism of the handle, so that the mass lock is reliable in the locked position can be transferred. Here, the mass lock is rotatably mounted about the axis of the mounting bracket, so that when an occurrence of accelerations acting on the motor vehicle, the mass lock is reliably deflected and this is transferred from its normal position in the locked position, in the a movement of the reversing lever is blocked, with the consequence that the door of the motor vehicle does not open unintentionally.

Vorteilhafterweise kann in der Sperrstellung die Massensperre arretiert sein. Das bedeutet, dass die Massensperre auch nach dem Unfall in ihrer Sperrstellung verbleibt und ein Öffnen der Tür über die Aktivierung des Umlenkhebels nicht möglich ist.Advantageously, the mass lock can be locked in the blocking position. This means that the mass lock remains in its locked position even after the accident and opening the door via the activation of the reversing lever is not possible.

Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass die arretierte Sperrstellung der Massensperre manuell lösbar ist, insbesondere dass die über eine Betätigung des Umlenkhebels arretierte Sperrstellung der Massensperre manuell lösbar ist. Hierbei kann es vorgesehen sein, dass über eine definierte Betätigung des Umlenkhebels dieser derart gegen die Massensperre drückt, dass die Sperrstellung gelöst wird und die Massensperre in die Normalstellung verfährt.It is also conceivable that the locked locking position of the mass lock is manually releasable, in particular that the locking position of the mass lock locked via an actuation of the reversing lever is manually detachable. In this case, it can be provided that, via a defined actuation of the reversing lever, it presses against the mass lock in such a way that the blocking position is released and the mass lock moves into the normal position.

In einer weiteren, die Erfindung verbessernden Maßnahme kann bei einer Bewegung zwischen der Sperrstellung und der Normalstellung die Massensperre translatorisch bewegbar sein. Beispielsweise ist es denkbar, dass der Abstand von der Massensperre zum Umlenkhebel in der Sperrstellung verringert ist, insbesondere dass der Weg der translatorischen Bewegung geringer ist als 5 mm. Das bedeutet, dass bei einer Überführung der Massensperre von ihrer Normalstellung in die Sperrstellung die Massensperre eine translatorische Bewegung ausführt, die in Richtung Umlenkhebel führt, wobei gleichzeitig die Massensperre um ihre Achse sich bewegt und somit die Sperrstellung einnimmt. Hierdurch kann eine kompakte Bauform des Sicherheitsmechanismus erzielt werden, wobei gleichzeitig eine hohe Funktionssicherheit gewährleistet ist, da insbesondere die Überführung der Massensperre aus der Normalstellung in die Sperrstellung durch die translatorische Bewegung geführt ist bzw. vorbestimmt ist.In a further measure improving the invention, the mass barrier can be translationally movable during a movement between the blocking position and the normal position. For example, it is conceivable that the distance from the mass barrier to the lever in the blocking position is reduced, in particular that the path of the translatory movement is less than 5 mm. This means that when transferring the mass lock from its normal position to the blocking position, the mass lock executes a translatory movement, which leads in the direction of the lever, at the same time the mass lock moves about its axis and thus assumes the blocking position. This allows a compact design of the safety mechanism can be achieved, at the same time a high reliability is ensured, since in particular the transfer of the mass lock from the normal position is guided in the blocking position by the translational movement or is predetermined.

Ferner kann die Erfindung einen Umlenkhebel umfassen, der an einer Achse drehbar gelagert ist, die insbesondere senkrecht zur Achse der Massensperre ausgerichtet ist. Somit kann eine zuverlässige Funktionsweise des Sicherheitsmechanismus gewährleistet sein. Zudem begünstigt diese geometrische Anordnung der genannten Achsen eine kompakte Bauform der Gesamtanordnung der Handhabe. Vorteilhafterweise ist der Umlenkhebel und/oder die Massensperre federbelastet, sodass die jeweilige Federkraft, die auf den Umlenkhebel und/oder auf die Massensperre wirkt, eine Zurückbewegung des jeweiligen Bauteils in seine Normalstellung bzw. Ruhelage erzwingen möchte.Furthermore, the invention may comprise a reversing lever which is rotatably mounted on an axis which is aligned in particular perpendicular to the axis of the mass barrier. Thus, a reliable operation of the safety mechanism can be ensured. In addition, this geometric arrangement of said axes favors a compact design of the overall arrangement of the handle. Advantageously, the deflection lever and / or the mass lock is spring-loaded, so that the respective spring force acting on the Deflection lever and / or acts on the mass lock, would force a return movement of the respective component in its normal position or rest position.

Erfindungsgemäß kann vorgesehen sein, dass in einem Normalbetrieb der Umlenkhebel zwischen einer Ruhelage und einer Betriebslage bewegbar ist, wobei bei Wirkung von Beschleunigungen die Massensperre in die Sperrstellung bringbar ist, so dass eine Bewegung des Umlenkhebels in die Betriebslage blockiert ist. Vorteilhafterweise befindet sich der Griff in Wirkverbindung mit dem Umlenkhebel, sodass bei einer Überführung des Umlenkhebels auch während des Normalbetriebs von der Ruhelage in die Betriebslage eine Aktion innerhalb der Schließvorrichtung der Kraftfahrzeugtür ausgelöst wird, beispielsweise dass ein an der Kraftfahrzeugtür angeordnetes mechanisches Schloss seine Betriebsstellung wechselt, insbesondere aus einer Verriegelungsstellung in eine Entriegelungsstellung überführt wird, wodurch sich die Kraftfahrzeugtür öffnen lässt. Beispielsweise ist es denkbar, dass am Umlenkhebel ein mechanisches Element angeordnet ist, das gleichzeitig mit dem genannten Schloss der Schließvorrichtung in Wirkverbindung steht. Über eine entsprechende Bewegung des Umlenkhebels erfolgt eine Bewegung des mechanischen Elementes, sodass hierdurch eine entsprechende Aktion am Schloss auslösbar ist. Alternativ ist ebenfalls denkbar, dass über eine entsprechende Bewegung des Umlenkhebels ein elektronisches Signal auslösbar ist, welches die entsprechende Aktion am Schloss auslöst. Falls jedoch die erfindungsgemäße Massensperre sich in ihrer Sperrstellung befindet, ist der Umlenkhebel in seiner Bewegung derart blockiert, sodass keine Aktion am Schloss des Kraftfahrzeuges auslösbar ist.According to the invention can be provided that in a normal operation of the lever between a rest position and an operating position is movable, with the effect of accelerations, the mass lock can be brought into the blocking position, so that a movement of the reversing lever is blocked in the operating position. Advantageously, the handle is in operative connection with the reversing lever, so that an action within the closing device of the motor vehicle door is triggered during the normal operation of the rest position in the operating position, for example, that a arranged on the motor vehicle door mechanical lock changes its operating position, is transferred in particular from a locking position into an unlocked position, whereby the vehicle door can be opened. For example, it is conceivable that a mechanical element is arranged on the reversing lever, which is in operative connection with said lock of the closing device at the same time. By means of a corresponding movement of the reversing lever, a movement of the mechanical element takes place, so that a corresponding action on the lock can be triggered thereby. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that via an appropriate movement of the reversing lever, an electronic signal can be triggered, which triggers the corresponding action on the lock. However, if the mass lock according to the invention is in its blocking position, the lever is so blocked in its movement, so that no action on the lock of the motor vehicle can be triggered.

Vorteilhafterweise kann die Massensperre sowohl im Uhrzeigersinn als auch gegen den Uhrzeigersinn aus der Normalstellung in die Sperrstellung bewegbar sein, insbesondere kann die Massensperre in zwei Richtungen um ihre Achse schwenkbar sein. Somit lassen sich kompliziert wirkende, aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen kommende Beschleunigungen zuverlässig durch den Sicherheitsmechanismus "verarbeiten", ohne dass die Gefahr besteht, dass die Kraftfahrzeugtür bei einem Unfall sich ungewollt öffnet.Advantageously, the mass lock in both the clockwise and counterclockwise from the normal position in the locked position be movable, in particular, the mass lock can be pivotable in two directions about its axis. Thus, complicated acting, coming from different directions accelerations can be reliably "processed" by the safety mechanism, without the risk that the vehicle door accidentally opens in an accident.

In einer weiteren, die Erfindung verbessernden Maßnahme kann der Umlenkhebel mit einem Vorsprung ausgebildet sein, der bei Einwirkungen von Beschleunigungen die Massensperre kontaktiert, so dass insbesondere eine Bewegung des Umlenkhebels in Richtung Betriebslage blockiert ist. Vorteilhafterweise kann die Massensperre derart ausgeführt sein, dass der Umlenkhebel in seine Betriebslage, ohne die Massensperre zu berühren, bewegbar ist. Beispielsweise ist es denkbar, dass die Massensperre mit einem Freiraum ausgebildet ist, in den zumindest teilweise der Umlenkhebel bei seiner Bewegung zwischen der Ruhelage und der Betriebslage sich bewegt, insbesondere dass der Vorsprung des Umlenkhebels in den Freiraum sich bewegt.In a further measure improving the invention, the reversing lever may be formed with a projection which contacts the mass barrier when accelerations occur, so that in particular a movement of the reversing lever in the direction Operating position is blocked. Advantageously, the mass barrier can be designed in such a way that the deflection lever can be moved into its operating position without touching the mass barrier. For example, it is conceivable that the mass barrier is formed with a free space in which at least partially the deflection lever moves in its movement between the rest position and the operating position, in particular that the projection of the reversing lever moves into the free space.

Vorteilhafterweise kann die Massensperre eine Masse aufweisen, die geringer ist als eine dem Umlenkhebel zugeordnete Masse. Hierdurch wird bewirkt, dass zunächst die Massensperre bei wirkenden Beschleunigungen ausgelenkt wird und in ihre Sperrstellung verfährt, bevor der Umlenkhebel aufgrund der wirkenden Beschleunigungen sich auslenkt. Die Massensperre kann auch eine Vielzahl an Massen aufweisen, um eine funktionsgerechte Bewegung von der Normalstellung in die Sperrstellung und/oder umgekehrt zu erzielen.Advantageously, the mass barrier may have a mass that is less than a mass associated with the lever. This causes first the mass lock is deflected at acting accelerations and moves into its blocking position before the lever deflects due to the acting accelerations. The mass lock may also have a plurality of masses to achieve a functional movement from the normal position to the blocking position and / or vice versa.

Erfindungsgemäß kann eine Kontur vorgesehen sein, die eine Führungshilfe ist, damit die Massensperre translatorisch bewegbar ist. Beispielsweise schließt die Erfindung mit ein, dass die Kontur als Fenster ausgeführt ist, das die Massensperre aufweist, wobei durch das Fenster ein Nocken hindurchragt, der am Montageträger ausgebildet ist, insbesondere dass das Fenster C-förmig ist. Alternativ ist es denkbar, dass der Montageträger mit der entsprechenden Kontur ausgebildet ist, in der ein Nocken der Massensperre eingreift.According to the invention, a contour can be provided, which is a guide aid, so that the mass barrier is translationally movable. For example, the invention includes that the contour is designed as a window having the mass barrier, wherein a cam protrudes through the window, which is formed on the mounting bracket, in particular that the window is C-shaped. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the mounting bracket is formed with the corresponding contour in which engages a cam of the mass lock.

Die erfindungsgemäße Handhabe kann zudem mit einer Massensperre ausgeführt sein, die Sicherungselemente aufweist, die eine Zurückbewegung der Massensperre aus ihrer Sperrstellung in die Normalstellung verhindern, so lange die genannten Beschleunigungen wirken. Auch bei Beschleunigungen, die während des Unfalls kurzzeitig und/oder in hoher Frequenz ihre Richtungen wechseln können, wird sichergestellt, dass die Massensperre aufgrund des Vorhandenseins ihrer Sicherungselemente ihre Sperrstellung nicht verlässt.The handle according to the invention can also be designed with a mass lock, which has securing elements which prevent a return movement of the mass lock from its blocking position to the normal position, as long as the aforementioned accelerations act. Even with accelerations that can change their directions during the accident briefly and / or in high frequency, it is ensured that the mass barrier does not leave its blocking position due to the presence of their security elements.

Zudem kann die erfindungsgemäße Handhabe derart weiterentwickelt sein, dass die Massensperre in einem Gehäuse bewegbar gelagert ist, wobei insbesondere das Gehäuse zwei Federelemente aufweist, die bewirken, dass die Massensperre arretiert in der Sperrstellung verbleibt. Das Gehäuse kann am Montageträger angeordnet sein. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass das Gehäuse mit dem Montageträger ein gemeinsames Bauteil bildet und/oder dass das Gehäuse und der Montageträger einstückig miteinander verbunden sind und/oder materialeinheitlich sind. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass das Gehäuse sowie der Montageträger ein 2K-Kunststoffbauteil darstellen. Die Federelemente bilden vorteilhafterweise ein gemeinsames Bauteil mit dem Gehäuse, wodurch vorteilhafterweise die Anzahl an Einzelbauteilen der erfindungsgemäßen Handhabe sich reduzieren lässt.In addition, the handle according to the invention can be further developed such that the mass lock is movably mounted in a housing, wherein in particular the housing has two spring elements, which cause the mass lock arrested in the locking position remains. The housing can be arranged on the mounting bracket. Also is It is conceivable that the housing with the mounting bracket forms a common component and / or that the housing and the mounting bracket are integrally connected to each other and / or are of uniform material. It is also conceivable that the housing and the mounting bracket represent a 2K plastic component. The spring elements advantageously form a common component with the housing, whereby advantageously the number of individual components of the handle according to the invention can be reduced.

Ferner kann die erfindungsgemäße Handhabe derart ausgebildet sein, dass ein freier Bereich zwischen den Federelementen vorliegt, in den sich ein Vorsprung der Massensperre erstreckt. Das bedeutet, dass in der Normalstellung der Massensperre der Vorsprung sich im freien Bereich zwischen den Federelementen befindet. Erfolgt eine Einwirkung von hohen Beschleunigungen auf das Kraftfahrzeug, lenkt die Massensperre entsprechend aus, wobei der Vorsprung der Massensperre den freien Bereich zwischen den Federelementen verlässt, über ein Federelement verfährt, das durch den Vorsprung der Massensperre weggedrückt wird, bis die Massensperre ihre Sperrstellung erreicht. Das bedeutet, dass die Massensperre innerhalb des Gehäuses sich verdreht. In der Sperrstellung nimmt jedes der beiden Federelemente seine ursprüngliche Stellung ein, wobei die Federelemente eine derartige geometrische Kontur aufweisen, dass eine Zurückbewegung der Massensperre in Richtung Normalstellung nicht möglich ist, da der Vorsprung der Massensperre durch das jeweilige Federelement gehindert ist, sich in Richtung Normalstellung der Massensperre zu bewegen. Beispielsweise ist es in einer möglichen Ausführungsform denkbar, dass die Federelemente auf einer Kreisbahn angeordnet sind und/oder jedes Federelement zum freien Bereich hin mit einer abgeschrägten Fläche ausgebildet ist.Furthermore, the handle according to the invention can be designed such that there is a free area between the spring elements into which a projection of the mass barrier extends. This means that in the normal position of the mass lock the projection is in the free area between the spring elements. If an effect of high accelerations on the motor vehicle, deflects the mass lock accordingly, the projection of the mass barrier leaves the free area between the spring elements, moves over a spring element, which is pushed away by the projection of the mass barrier until the mass lock reaches its blocking position. This means that the mass lock inside the case is twisting. In the blocking position, each of the two spring elements assumes its original position, wherein the spring elements have such a geometric contour that a return movement of the mass barrier in the normal position is not possible because the projection of the mass barrier is prevented by the respective spring element, in the normal position to move the crowd lock. For example, in one possible embodiment, it is conceivable that the spring elements are arranged on a circular path and / or each spring element is designed with a bevelled surface towards the free area.

In der Figur 1 ist in rein schematischer Darstellung eine erfindungsgemäße Handhabe gezeigt, die einen Griff 3 aufweist, der frei zugänglich an der Außenseite einer Tür 1 eines Kraftfahrzeuges 2 angeordnet ist. Am Griff 3 befindet sich ein Griffdom 7, der in die Tür 1 des Kraftfahrzeuges 2 hineinreicht und an seinem freien Ende an einem Umlenkhebel 30 in Wirkverbindung steht. Betätigt der Benutzer den Griff 3, verschwenkt sich der Griff 3 nach außen, wobei gleichzeitig der Griffdom 7 mit verschwenkt wird. Bei der Bewegung des Griffdoms 7 dreht sich der Umlenkhebel 30 um eine Achse 31, hier im Ausführungsbeispiel gegen den Uhrzeigersinn. Somit wird der Umlenkhebel 30 aus seiner Ruhelage 32, die in Figur 1 dargestellt ist, in eine explizit nicht dargestellte Betriebslage verschwenkt. Über die Bewegung des Umlenkhebels 30 wird ein innerhalb der Tür 1 nicht dargestelltes Betätigungselement, beispielsweise Bowdenzug, Schalter oder dergleichen, angesprochen und/oder aktiviert, wodurch eine Schließeinheit 8, insbesondere ein Türschloss, zum Verriegeln und/oder Entriegeln der Tür 1 aktiviert wird. Die Schließeinheit 8 ist Bestandteil einer Schließvorrichtung des Kraftfahrzeuges 2. Innerhalb der Tür 1 ist ein Montageträger 4 vorgesehen, an dem der Umlenkhebel 30 mit seiner Achse 31 sowie eine Massensperre 10 angeordnet sind. Die Massensperre 10 kann ein ungewolltes Öffnen der Tür 1 infolge der Einwirkung von auf die Tür 1 bzw. auf den Griff 3 wirkenden Beschleunigungen R verhindern. Diese Beschleunigungen R können insbesondere bei einem Unfall des Kraftfahrzeuges 2 ausgelöst werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Handhabe gemäß Figur 1 weist einen Sicherheitsmechanismus auf, welcher bei den genannten Beschleunigungen R die Massensperre 10 aus ihrer Normalstellung I in eine Sperrstellung II überführt, die exemplarisch in den folgenden Ausführungsbeispielen gemäß Figur 2 bis Figur 6 beschrieben sind. In der Sperrstellung II wird nämlich eine Bewegung des Umlenkhebels 30 blockiert, sodass ein ungewolltes Öffnen der Tür 1 ausgeschlossen ist.In the FIG. 1 is a purely schematic representation of a handle according to the invention shown having a handle 3, which is arranged freely accessible on the outside of a door 1 of a motor vehicle 2. The handle 3 is a Griffdom 7, which extends into the door 1 of the motor vehicle 2 and is at its free end to a lever 30 in operative connection. If the user presses the handle 3, the handle 3 pivots to the outside, at the same time the handle dome 7 is pivoted with. During the movement of the handle dome 7, the reversing lever 30 rotates about an axis 31, here in the embodiment counterclockwise. Thus, the reversing lever 30 from its rest position 32, in FIG. 1 is shown pivoted in an explicitly not shown operating position. About the movement of the reversing lever 30 is an unillustrated within the door 1 actuator, such as Bowden cable, switch or the like, addressed and / or activated, whereby a closing unit 8, in particular a door lock, is activated for locking and / or unlocking the door 1. The closing unit 8 is part a closing device of the motor vehicle 2. Within the door 1, a mounting bracket 4 is provided, on which the lever 30 with its axis 31 and a mass lock 10 are arranged. The mass lock 10 can prevent unintentional opening of the door 1 as a result of the action of accelerations R acting on the door 1 or on the handle 3. These accelerations R can be triggered in particular in an accident of the motor vehicle 2. The handle according to the invention FIG. 1 has a safety mechanism which converts the mass barrier 10 from its normal position I to a blocking position II in the case of the accelerations R mentioned, which is shown by way of example in the following exemplary embodiments FIG. 2 to FIG. 6 are described. In the blocking position II namely a movement of the reversing lever 30 is blocked, so that accidental opening of the door 1 is excluded.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 2 und Figur 5 arbeitet nach dem Prinzip gemäß Figur 1, wobei die in Figur 2 gezeigte Handhabe eine Massensperre 10 mit einer Masse 11 aufweist, die bei wirkenden Beschleunigungen R zum einen eine Drehbewegung um eine Achse 5 ausführt und zum anderen sich translatorisch entlang der Achse 5 in Richtung Umlenkhebel 30 bewegt, worauf im Folgenden noch eingegangen wird.The embodiment according to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5 works according to the principle FIG. 1 , where the in FIG. 2 handle shown has a mass barrier 10 having a mass 11 which performs a rotational movement about an axis 5 at acting accelerations R and on the other translationally moves along the axis 5 in the direction of the lever 30, as will be discussed below.

In Figur 2 befindet sich die Massensperre 10 in ihrer Normalstellung I, wobei gleichzeitig der Umlenkhebel 30 unbetätigt ist und somit sich in seiner Ruhelage 32 befindet. Der Umlenkhebel 30 ist um die Achse 31 drehbar gelagert, wobei die Achse 31 senkrecht zur Massensperrenachse 5 verläuft. Der Umlenkhebel 30 weist eine Masse 35 auf, die größer ist als die Masse 11 der Massensperre 10, welches auch für das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 5 bzw. Figur 6 gilt.In FIG. 2 is the mass lock 10 in its normal position I, at the same time the lever 30 is unconfirmed and thus is in its rest position 32. The reversing lever 30 is rotatably mounted about the axis 31, wherein the axis 31 is perpendicular to the mass locking axis 5. The lever 30 has a mass 35 which is greater than the mass 11 of the mass barrier 10, which also for the embodiment according to FIG. 5 respectively. FIG. 6 applies.

Die Massensperre 10 weist eine Kontur 12 auf, die eine Führungshilfe ist, damit die Massensperre 10 aus ihrer Normalstellung I in die Sperrstellung II gemäß Figur 4 sich zuverlässig bewegen kann. Gemäß des gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiels ist die Kontur 12 als Fenster ausgeführt, das in der Massensperre 10 integriert ist, wobei durch das Fenster 12 ein Nocken 6 des Montageträgers 4 hineinragt. Die Kontur 12 ist C-förmig ausgebildet, wobei die Kontur 12 zwei freie Enden 17, 18 aufweist, die dem Umlenkhebel 30 abgewandt sind. In der Normalstellung I befindet sich der Nocken 6 mittig in der Kontur 12 und somit beabstandet zu den freien Enden 17, 18. Die Öffnung des Fensters 12 ist hierbei geometrisch und in ihren Abmaßen dem Nocken 6 angepasst.The mass barrier 10 has a contour 12, which is a guide, so that the mass lock 10 from its normal position I in the blocking position II according to FIG. 4 can move reliably. According to the embodiment shown, the contour 12 is designed as a window, which is integrated in the mass lock 10, wherein protrudes through the window 12, a cam 6 of the mounting bracket 4. The contour 12 is C-shaped, wherein the contour 12 has two free ends 17, 18 which are remote from the reversing lever 30. In the normal position I, the cam 6 is located centrally in the contour 12 and thus spaced from the free ends 17, 18. The opening of the window 12 is adapted here geometrically and in their dimensions to the cam 6.

Der Umlenkhebel 30 weist ferner einen Befestigungsabschnitt 36 auf, an den der nicht explizit dargestellte Griff mit seinem Griffdom gemäß Figur 1 angreift.The reversing lever 30 further has a mounting portion 36, to which the not explicitly shown handle with his Griffdom according to FIG. 1 attacks.

Der Umlenkhebel 30 ist ferner mit einem Vorsprung 34 ausgebildet, der ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des genannten Sicherheitsmechanismus darstellt. Im Normalbetrieb III gemäß Figur 3, bei dem der Griff 3 gemäß den Ausführungen aus Figur 1 durch den Benutzer gezogen wird, erfolgt eine Rotation des Umlenkhebels 30 um seine Achse 31, wobei der Umlenkhebel 30 aus seiner Ruhelage 32 gemäß Figur 2 in eine Betriebslage 33 gemäß Figur 3 verschwenkt wird. Hierbei ist die Massensperre 10 in ihrer geometrischen Außenkontur derart ausgeführt, dass während der Bewegung des Umlenkhebels 30 zwischen der Ruhelage 32 und der Betriebslage 33 es zu keiner Kollision kommt, insbesondere verbleibt der Vorsprung 34 stets beabstandet zur Massensperre 10. Das bedeutet, dass im Normalbetrieb III die Massensperre 10 stets in ihrer Normalstellung I verbleibt.The reversing lever 30 is further formed with a projection 34, which constitutes an integral part of said safety mechanism. In normal operation III according to FIG. 3 in which the handle 3 according to the comments FIG. 1 is pulled by the user, there is a rotation of the reversing lever 30 about its axis 31, wherein the reversing lever 30 from its rest position 32 according to FIG. 2 in an operating position 33 according to FIG. 3 is pivoted. Here, the mass barrier 10 is designed in its geometric outer contour such that during the movement of the reversing lever 30 between the rest position 32 and the operating position 33 there is no collision, in particular the projection 34 is always spaced from the mass barrier 10. That means that in normal operation III the mass barrier 10 always remains in its normal position I.

Erfolgt nun eine gewisse Beschleunigungsbelastung auf das Kraftfahrzeug 2, die beispielsweise durch einen Unfall ausgelöst werden kann, verlässt die Massensperre 10 ihre Normalstellung I und wird aufgrund der wirkenden Beschleunigungen R in eine Sperrstellung II gemäß Figur 4 gebracht. Die Masse 11 der Massensperre 10 begünstigt die Bewegung in die Sperrstellung II, wobei gemäß des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels die Massensperre 10 sowohl eine Drehbewegung um die Achse 5 ausführt als auch translatorisch sich in Richtung Umlenkhebel 30 entlang der Achse 5 bewegt. Bei der translatorischen Bewegung verfährt der Nocken 6 entlang des Fensters 12, wobei in der Sperrstellung II der Nocken 6 eines der beiden Enden 17, 18 kontaktiert. Die Massensperre 10 lenkt aufgrund ihrer geringeren Masse 11 zuerst aus in ihre Sperrstellung II, wobei der Umlenkhebel 30 aufgrund der wirkenden Beschleunigungen nacheilt und versucht, aus seiner Ruhelage 32 in die Betriebslage 33 zu gelangen. Da die Massensperre 10 - wie gesagt - sich bereits in ihrer Sperrstellung II befindet, bevor der Umlenkhebel 30 aus seiner Ruhelage 32 verfahren ist, kommt es zu einer Kollision des Vorsprunges 34 des Umlenkhebels 30 mit der Massensperre 10, sodass eine Bewegung des Umlenkhebels 30 in die Betriebslage 33 blockiert ist. Gemäß des gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiels verringert sich der Abstand von der Massensperre 10 zum Umlenkhebel 30 ausgehend von der Normalstellung I in die Sperrstellung II, wobei insbesondere der Weg der translatorischen Bewegung geringer ist als 5 mm. Die Massensperre 10 führt somit einen sehr geringen translatorischen Hub aus, bis sie ihre Sperrstellung II erreicht hat. Die Massensperre 10 weist zwei Anschlagflächen 14a, 14b auf, gegen die je nach Auslenkungsrichtung der Massensperre 10 der Vorsprung 34 anschlägt und eine Weiterbewegung des Umlenkhebels 30 verhindert ist. Da die Massensperre 10 sowohl im Uhrzeigersinn als auch gegen den Uhrzeigersinn aus der Normalstellung I in die Sperrstellung II bewegbar ist, können komplexe, aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen, insbesondere entgegengesetzten Richtungen wirkende Beschleunigungen R seitens der Massensperre 10 "verarbeitet" werden, wodurch funktionssicher ein Verhindern eines ungewollten Öffnens der Tür 1 bewirkt wird. Das letztgenannte gilt ebenfalls für das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 5 bis Figur 7, worauf im Folgenden noch im Einzelnen eingegangen wird.If now a certain acceleration load on the motor vehicle 2, which can be triggered, for example, by an accident, the mass barrier 10 leaves its normal position I and is due to the acting accelerations R in a blocking position II in accordance FIG. 4 brought. The mass 11 of the mass lock 10 favors the movement into the blocking position II, wherein according to the first embodiment, the mass barrier 10 both performs a rotational movement about the axis 5 and translationally moves in the direction of the lever 30 along the axis 5. In the translational movement of the cam 6 moves along the window 12, wherein in the blocking position II of the cam 6 of one of the two ends 17, 18 contacted. The mass lock 10 deflects due to their lower mass 11 first in its blocking position II, wherein the lever 30 lags due to the acting accelerations and tries to get from its rest position 32 in the operating position 33. Since the mass lock 10 - as I said - is already in its blocking position II, before the lever 30 is moved from its rest position 32, there is a collision of the projection 34 of the reversing lever 30 with the mass lock 10, so that movement of the reversing lever 30 in the operating position 33 is blocked. According to the embodiment shown, the distance from the mass lock 10 to the reversing lever 30 decreases from the normal position I to the blocking position II, wherein in particular the path of the translatory movement is less than 5 mm. The mass lock 10 thus performs a very small translational stroke until it has reached its blocking position II. The mass barrier 10 has two abutment surfaces 14a, 14b against which, depending on the deflection direction of the mass lock 10, the projection 34 abuts and further movement of the reversing lever 30 is prevented. Since the mass lock 10 in both the clockwise and counterclockwise from the normal position I in the blocking position II is movable, complex, acting from different directions, in particular opposite directions accelerations R can be "processed" by the mass lock 10, whereby functionally preventing a unintentional opening of the door 1 is effected. The latter also applies to the second embodiment according to FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 , which will be discussed in detail below.

Gemäß Figur 4 kann es vorgesehen sein, dass die Massensperre 10 derart ausgeführt ist, dass die Massensperre 10 auch dann arretierend in ihrer Sperrstellung II verbleibt, wenn keine Beschleunigungen mehr auf die Tür 1 bzw. auf die erfindungsgemäße Handhabe wirken. Beispielsweise ist es denkbar, dass über wirkende Rastmittel, Federn, etc. die Sperrstellung II gehalten wird.According to FIG. 4 It may be provided that the mass lock 10 is designed such that the mass lock 10 remains arresting even in its blocking position II, when no more accelerations act on the door 1 and on the handle according to the invention. For example, it is conceivable that acting locking means, springs, etc., the blocking position II.

Damit es im Normalbetrieb III zu keiner Kollision zwischen dem Umlenkhebel 30 und der Massensperre 10 kommt, weist die Massensperre 10 einen Freiraum 13 auf, in den zumindest teilweise der Umlenkhebel 30, insbesondere mit seinem Vorsprung 34, sich bewegen kann. Lediglich in der Sperrstellung II ist der Freiraum 13 in seiner Position zum Umlenkhebel 30 verändert, sodass eine Bewegung des Umlenkhebels 30 in die Betriebslage 33 blockiert ist.So that in normal operation III there is no collision between the reversing lever 30 and the mass lock 10, the mass lock 10 has a free space 13 into which the reversing lever 30, in particular with its projection 34, can move at least in part. Only in the blocking position II, the free space 13 is changed in its position to the reversing lever 30, so that a movement of the reversing lever 30 is blocked in the operating position 33.

Sowohl die Massensperre 10 als auch der Umlenkhebel 30 sind im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel federbelastet, das bedeutet, dass die Federkraft in Richtung Normalstellung I und/oder in Richtung Ruhelage 32 wirkt.Both the mass lock 10 and the reversing lever 30 are spring-loaded in the present embodiment, which means that the spring force acts in the direction of normal position I and / or in the direction of rest position 32.

Wie in Figur 2 bis Figur 4 zu erkennen ist, weist die Massensperre 10 im Bereich der Anschlagfläche 14 vorsprungartige Sicherungselemente 15 auf, zwischen denen sich der Freiraum 13 befindet. Die Sicherungselemente 15 erstrecken sich vorsprungartig in Richtung Umlenkhebel 30, wobei die Sicherungselemente 15 eine Zurückbewegung der Massensperre 10 aus ihrer Sperrstellung II in die Normalstellung I verhindern, welches in Figur 4 deutlich wird. Insbesondere bei in ihrer Richtung sehr schnell wechselnden Beschleunigungen verhindern die Sicherungselemente 15, dass die Massensperre 10 aus ihrer Sperrstellung II in Richtung Normalstellung I sich bewegt, da der Vorsprung 34 des Umlenkhebels 30 das Sicherungselement 15 kontaktiert, sodass die Sperrstellung II der Massensperre 10 gehalten wird.As in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 can be seen, the mass lock 10 in the region of the stop surface 14 projection-like security elements 15, between which the free space 13 is located. The securing elements 15 extend in the direction of the deflection lever 30 in the manner of a projection, wherein the securing elements 15 prevent a back movement of the mass barrier 10 from its blocking position II into the normal position I, which in FIG FIG. 4 becomes clear. Especially with accelerations that change very rapidly in their direction, the securing elements 15 prevent the mass lock 10 from moving out of its blocking position II in the direction of normal position I, because the projection 34 of the reversing lever 30 contacts the securing element 15, so that the blocking position II of the mass barrier 10 is held ,

Gemäß Figur 5a, 5b, Figur 6 und Figur 7 ist eine weitere Variante der erfindungsgemäßen Handhabe gezeigt, wobei im Wesentlichen auf die Beschreibung gemäß Figur 1 bis Figur 4 Bezug genommen werden kann, wobei die Massensperre 10 ebenfalls, wie bereits beim ersten Ausführungsbeispiel beschrieben, zwischen der Normalstellung I und der Sperrstellung II sich bewegen kann. Wie bereits in Figur 1 beschrieben, ist über die Massensperre 10 eine Bewegung des nicht explizit dargestellten Umlenkhebels 30 blockierbar. Im Gegensatz zum ersten Ausführungsbeispiel weist die Massensperre 10 ein Gehäuse 20 auf, wobei das Gehäuse 20 zwei Federelemente 21 aufweist, zwischen denen ein freier Bereich 23 vorliegt, siehe Figur 5a. Gemäß Figur 7 umfasst die Massensperre 10 einen Vorsprung 16, der in der Normalstellung I im freien Bereich 23 zwischen den Federelementen 21 sich befindet. Zudem weist die Massensperre 10 eine Lagerung 19 auf, die im eingesetzten Zustand in einer Öffnung 26 des Gehäuses 20 (siehe Figur 5a und Figur 5b) sich befindet. Die Lagerung 26 ist vorsprungartig ausgeführt. Die Massensperre 10 ist innerhalb des Gehäuses 20 drehbar gelagert, wobei die Massensperre 10, wie auch im ersten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 2 bis Figur 4, im Uhrzeigersinn oder auch gegen den Uhrzeigersinn um die Achse 5 drehbar ist. Die Massensperre 10 weist des Weiteren unterschiedliche Massen 11 auf, wobei gemäß Figur 6a, 6b die Anschlagflächen 14a, 14b zusätzlich als Massen wirken. Beide Anschlagflächen 14a, 14b sind in ihrer Größe unterschiedlich ausgeführt. Die Massensperre 10 weist des Weiteren einen Freiraum 13 auf, der zwischen den Anschlagflächen 14a, 14b sich befindet. Figur 6a zeigt die Sperrstellung II der Massensperre 10, bei der der schematisch gezeigte Vorsprung 34 des Umlenkhebels 30 nicht in den Freiraum 13 eintauchen kann. Die Anschlagfläche 14a verhindert eine Bewegung des Vorsprungs 16.According to Figure 5a, 5b . FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 a further variant of the handle according to the invention is shown, wherein substantially to the description according to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 Reference may be made, wherein the mass barrier 10 also, as already described in the first embodiment, between the normal position I and the blocking position II can move. As already in FIG. 1 described, a movement of the not explicitly shown reversing lever 30 can be blocked via the mass barrier 10. In contrast to the first embodiment, the mass barrier 10 has a housing 20, wherein the housing 20 has two spring elements 21, between which a free area 23 is present, see FIG. 5a , According to FIG. 7 the mass lock 10 comprises a projection 16 which is in the normal position I in the free area 23 between the spring elements 21 itself. In addition, the mass barrier 10 has a bearing 19, which in the inserted state in an opening 26 of the housing 20 (see Figure 5a and Figure 5b ) located. The bearing 26 is designed like a projection. The mass barrier 10 is rotatably mounted within the housing 20, wherein the mass barrier 10, as in the first embodiment according to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 , is rotatable about the axis 5 clockwise or counterclockwise. The mass barrier 10 further comprises different masses 11, according to Figure 6a, 6b the stop surfaces 14a, 14b additionally act as masses. Both stop surfaces 14a, 14b are designed differently in size. The mass barrier 10 furthermore has a free space 13, which is located between the stop surfaces 14a, 14b. FIG. 6a shows the blocking position II of the mass lock 10, in which the schematically shown projection 34 of the reversing lever 30th can not dive into the free space 13. The stopper surface 14 a prevents movement of the projection 16.

In der Normalstellung I gemäß Figur 6b, in der die Massensperre 10 im Uhrzeigersinn um ca. 20 - 30° um die Achse 5 gedreht ist, kann der Umlenkhebel 30 mit seinem Vorsprung 34 in den Freiraum 13 eintauchen, um somit in die Betriebslage 33 zu gelangen. Aufgrund der wirkenden Beschleunigungen im Falle eines Unfalls dreht sich die Massensperre 10 um die Achse 5, wobei der Vorsprung 16 das linke oder rechte Federelement 21 in Richtung Zeichenebene drückt. Die Federelemente 21 gemäß Figur 5a, 5b sind im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel auf einer Kreisbahn 24 im Gehäuse 20 angeordnet, wobei jedes Federelement 21 zum freien Bereich 23 hin mit einer abgeschrägten Fläche 25 ausgebildet ist. Bei der Bewegung der Massensperre 10 verfährt der Vorsprung 16 auf einer der beiden abgeschrägten Flächen 25, bis der Vorsprung 16 den Kontakt mit dem Federelement 21 verliert. Zunächst wird das Federelement 21 in die Zeichenebene federnd eingedrückt. Befindet sich der Vorsprung 16 rechts oder links vom Federelement 21, ist die Sperrstellung II der Massensperre 10 erreicht, wobei die Kontur des jeweiligen Federelementes 21 verhindert, dass die Massensperre 10 sich zurück in ihre Normalstellung I bewegt. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Sperrstellung II der Massensperre 10 arretiert.In the normal position I according to FIG. 6b , in which the mass lock 10 is rotated clockwise about 20-30 ° about the axis 5, the lever 30 can dive with its projection 34 in the free space 13 so as to get into the operating position 33. Due to the acting accelerations in the event of an accident, the mass damper 10 rotates about the axis 5, wherein the projection 16 presses the left or right spring element 21 in the direction of the drawing plane. The spring elements 21 according to Figure 5a, 5b are arranged in the present embodiment on a circular path 24 in the housing 20, wherein each spring element 21 is formed to the free area 23 with a bevelled surface 25. During the movement of the mass barrier 10, the projection 16 moves on one of the two bevelled surfaces 25 until the projection 16 loses contact with the spring element 21. First, the spring element 21 is resiliently pressed into the plane of the drawing. If the projection 16 is located on the right or left of the spring element 21, the blocking position II of the mass lock 10 is reached, wherein the contour of the respective spring element 21 prevents the mass lock 10 from moving back into its normal position I. In this embodiment, the blocking position II of the mass lock 10 is locked.

Gemäß Figur 2 und Figur 4 hingegen kann die Handhabe derart ausgeführt sein, dass die arretierte Sperrstellung II, die in Figur 4 erreicht ist, manuell lösbar ist. Über eine Betätigung des Umlenkhebels 30 kann die arretierte Sperrstellung II der Massensperre 10 manuell gelöst werden, wobei über eine definierte Betätigung des Umlenkhebels 30 der Vorsprung 34 gegen eine der Anschlagflächen 14a, 14b derart drückt, sodass die Sperrstellung II aufgehoben wird. Das bedeutet, dass der Vorsprung 34 die Massensperre 10 translatorisch in entgegengesetzter Richtung zum Umlenkhebel 30 drückt, wobei gleichzeitig sich die Massensperre 10 um ihre Achse 5 zurück verschwenkt und die Normalstellung I erreicht. Gleichzeitig verfährt der Nocken 6 in seine mittlere Stellung des Fensters 12. Ein wesentlicher Unterschied der erfindungsgemäßen Handhabe gemäß Figur 5 bis Figur 7 ist, dass die Bewegung der Massensperre 10 von der Normalstellung I in die Sperrstellung II lediglich über eine Drehung um die Achse 5 erfolgt. Gemäß Figur 2 bis Figur 4 weist die Bewegung der Massensperre 10 zusätzlich zur Rotationsbewegung um die Achse 5 eine translatorische Bewegung auf.According to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 In contrast, the handle can be designed such that the locked blocking position II, the in FIG. 4 is reached, manually solvable. Via an actuation of the reversing lever 30, the locked blocking position II of the mass lock 10 can be released manually, with a defined actuation of the reversing lever 30, the projection 34 against one of the stop surfaces 14a, 14b so presses, so that the blocking position II is canceled. This means that the projection 34 presses the mass barrier 10 translationally in the opposite direction to the deflection lever 30, wherein at the same time the mass barrier 10 pivots back about its axis 5 and reaches the normal position I. At the same time the cam 6 moves in its middle position of the window 12. A significant difference of the handle according to the invention FIG. 5 to FIG. 7 is that the movement of the mass barrier 10 from the normal position I to the blocking position II takes place only via a rotation about the axis 5. According to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 the movement of the mass barrier 10 in addition to the rotational movement about the axis 5 to a translational movement.
