Description

The invention is directed to an outside door handle assembly of a motor vehicle, which can be fastened to the inside of a door handle carrier, a mounted on the handle support handle member and from the outside of the door through a door outlet mountable, in the assembled state to the arranged on the inside of the door handle carrier extending and at least in sections having the operable from the outside of the door grip member receiving trough housing, wherein the handle member has a trained for triggering an electronic door opening operation and operable from the outside of the door push button.

An outside door handle assembly of the type described is, for example, from the DE 10 2006 029 774 A1 or even the DE 10 2010 038 071 A1 known. Such outside door handle assemblies, especially for motor vehicles, are known to be able to open, for example, a door, which is a moving part of the motor vehicle. A grip element serves for the actual actuation of a lock of the vehicle door. The operation of the lock can work purely electronically or mechanically, with a purely mechanical actuation has long been no longer the current state of development. Because currently, the locking of a locking mechanism of the motor vehicle door by an external mobile identification transmitter (ID transmitter) is released before the opening process. Then usually a push button of a handle member is then actuated to unlock the provided on the vehicle door lock can. Such grip units are usually still equipped with at least one emergency lock cylinder, so that the function of the mobile ID transmitter in an emergency, for example in a power failure of the on-board electronics, even mechanically by the emergency lock cylinder can be taken, which then takes place with the help of a mechanical key.

A motor vehicle door, whose lock is unlocked by means of a mobile ID transmitter, can be opened by an actuation of the handle element, wherein in this case the door is mechanically released from the previously unlocked lock, for which a certain operating force is applied by the user. For the purposes of the present invention, a "triggering of a mechanical door opening operation" is understood to mean the above-described actuation of the handle element for mechanically releasing the door from the lock, whereby this type of door opening only plays a role in an emergency, for example if the on-board electronics are not functioning properly works. To increase the comfort, it is known from the prior art to solve the door in an electronic manner from the previously unlocked (usually then electronic) lock, which is only a very small actuation force applied by the user. For the purposes of the present invention, a "triggering of an electronic door opening operation" is to be understood as the last-described actuation of the grip element for the electronic release of the door from the lock, this type of door opening representing the normal case. Known handle assemblies in which the triggering of both an electronic and a mechanical door opening operation is provided, have a complicated structure, which makes the mounting of the door outer handle assembly on the vehicle door difficult and tedious. In addition, the assembly of the individual components of such outside door handle assemblies takes place in equal proportions both from the outside of the door and the inside of the door, which not only makes installation difficult, but also repairs.

The invention has for its object to provide a solution that provides an improved outside door handle assembly that is inexpensive preassembled and can be attached to a motor vehicle door in a structurally simple manner. In particular, the smallest possible number of mounting elements should be required for the production of the door handle, so that the pre-assembly with a few simple steps is feasible, with an assembly is to strive predominantly either from the inside or outside of the door.

In an outside door handle assembly of the type described above, the object is achieved in that the handle member further comprises a trained for triggering a mechanical door opening operation and the handle member pivotally connected to the handle carrier grip body, wherein the push button is rotatably mounted relative to the handle body.

Advantageous and expedient refinements and developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

The invention provides an exterior door handle assembly which is characterized by a space-saving design while providing the functionalities of a mechanical and electronic door opening operation. The mechanical and electronic mode of action are realized by a single handle element, which characterizes the compact design of the outside door handle assembly according to the present invention. In this case, the two functionalities fulfilling grip element is mounted on the inside of the door mountable handle support, so that only the trough housing must be mounted from the outside of the door, which simplifies the pre-assembly of the outside door handle assembly, because essential mechanical and electronic components are on the mounted on the inside of the door mounted handle support.

In an embodiment of the door outer handle assembly, the invention provides that the handle body is movement-coupled with the pushbutton and is designed to be actuatable via the pushbutton from the exterior of the door. An actuation of the push button can thereby also actuate the handle body, whereby an operation (pulling or pressing) of the push button can not only cause an electronic but also a mechanical door opening operation. In particular, this measure increases the flexibility of the outside door handle assembly, because the mechanical door opening operation, which in an emergency in a Power failure of the electrical system is of importance, still requires only an operation of the push button, which operates in the case of emergency operation the motion-coupled with the push button handle body.

To increase the compactness and to reduce the number of components, it is advantageous in another embodiment of the invention, when the handle body and the push button are mounted on at least one common pivot axis. Although the bearing of the handle body and the push button takes place on a common pivot axis, the push button is still rotatably mounted relative to the handle body, so that the push button together with the handle body around the pivot axis are still additionally rotated relative to the handle body can.

In particular, in view of the last discussed aspect, the flexibility and functionality of the handle member in an embodiment of the invention can be increased if the lever-like design push button is rotatably mounted on the handle body. This embodiment includes that the push button for triggering the electronic door opening operation can be actuated and pivoted, at the same time the handle body remains unverschwenkt and unconfirmed.

In a further embodiment of the door outer handle assembly according to the invention it is provided that for triggering the electronic door opening operation, the push button is relatively pivoted to unverschwenkten handle body is arranged and that for triggering the mechanical door opening operation, the push button is pivoted and disposed adjacent to the handle body and pivots the handle body, wherein for triggering the mechanical door opening operation, the handle element is acted upon in comparison to the triggering of the electronic door opening operation, preferably four times, higher actuation force. To avoid an undesired mechanical door opening operation, ie an emergency opening in the event of a failure of the on-board electronics, it must be ensured that pivoting and concomitant actuation of the handle body which can be actuated via the pushbutton are only possible Application of an actuating force that is far above the force that must be applied in an electronic opening operation normally.

A structurally particularly favorable possibility, rotatably support the push button relative to the handle body is provided in an embodiment of the invention in that the rotatable mounting of the push button on the handle body of at least one pin formed on the push button and a correspondingly formed on the handle body pin receptacle is formed.

The invention provides in a further embodiment, that the push button is formed with a lever arm-like pressing portion and a lever arm, serving to activate an electronic switching element trigger portion, wherein the push portion and the trigger portion extend from a pivot point in opposite directions and the push button to the fulcrum is rotatable. The push button is thus designed as a two-armed lever. This configuration causes upon actuation of the press section, this rotates about the pivot point, wherein at the same time the triggering section in this case activates the electronic switching element, whereby the door opening operation is triggered.

In a further embodiment of the door outer handle arrangement, the invention provides that the handle body has a lever arm-like effective portion, which is arranged in the rest position of the unactuated press section of the pushbutton spaced from the pressing portion. This configuration makes it possible that, due to the existing distance between pressing portion and effective portion of the handle body remains unactuated despite actuation of the pressing portion of the push button, since a corresponding rotation of the pressing portion due to the distance is possible.

In this regard, it is then provided for the door outer handle assembly according to the invention in a further embodiment that for triggering the electronic door opening operation of the pressing portion of the push button in the direction of the unverschwenkten effective portion of the handle body is pivoted, which activates the electronic switching element as a result of the pivoting of the push button in an operating position of the triggering section of the push button. The mechanical door opening operation is triggered only when the handle element, ie the pressing portion, is subjected to a higher compared to the triggering of the electronic door opening operation actuating force. Consequently, upon application of a normal operating force, the pressing portion is maximally rotatable to the working portion, so that the rotational movement of the push-button is restricted.

With regard to an emergency operation of the handle element, the invention further provides in an embodiment of the door outer handle arrangement that are pivoted to trigger the mechanical door opening operation of the active portion of the handle body and the pressing portion of the push button in an emergency operating position, in which the pressing portion is arranged pivoted beyond the actuating position and in which the pressing portion is disposed adjacent to the operative portion, wherein in the Notbetätigungsposition a movement-coupled with the handle body actuating portion of the handle element activates a mechanical switching element. In order to move the gripping element into this emergency operating position, it is necessary for the pressing section to be subjected to a considerably larger actuating force, which is appreciably greater for the user than for triggering the electronic door opening process.

So that the pushbutton returns to its original position after actuation to trigger the mechanical or electronic door opening operation, provision is advantageously made in an embodiment of the invention for at least one restoring element to apply a force urging the push section into its rest position.

It is structurally particularly favorable when arranged in an embodiment of the door outer handle assembly according to the invention, the at least one restoring element between the pressing portion and the active portion and / or between the lever-like triggering portion and the electronic switching element.

In order to additionally ensure a provision of the handle body after emergency operation of the outside door handle assembly, the invention provides in a further embodiment, the handle member has at least one resistance element that applies a force acting portion of the handle body in its unverschwenkte position urging force greater than the pressing portion of the push button force is urgent in its rest position. The resistance element may for example be a torsion spring, which applies a counterforce when pivoting the handle body. This counterforce is many times higher than the force to be expended during normal operation for electronic opening and corresponds to the amount of operating force that must be applied for emergency operation.

Finally, it is provided in an embodiment of the invention that the motion-coupled with the handle body actuating portion is rotatably attached to the handle body lever member and that the mechanical switching element has a motion-coupled with a pivotal movement of the lever member and rotatably mounted on the support member Bowden cable lever. This embodiment represents a structurally simple solution for the realization of a cost-effective lever mechanism, which is used in the case of an emergency operation.

It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the invention is defined only by the claims.

In the FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an outside door handle assembly 1 according to the invention shown in disassembled state. The outside door handle assembly 1 is intended for a door 2 of a motor vehicle and comprises a handle support 3, which is fastened to the inside of the door 4, and a trough housing 5, which is mountable from the outside of the door 6. For attachment of the handle support 3 on the inside of the door 4, this has in the illustrated embodiment, two mounting lugs 7, for example, hold the head of a screwing, which in turn is in engagement with the handle support 3. In this way, when mounting the Door outside handle assembly 1 of the handle support 3 stably bolted to the inside of the door 4. The trough housing 5 is then inserted through a door opening 8 from the outside of the door 6 in the door 2 and then lies with its outer edge portion flush on the outside of the door 6. In this case, the trough housing 5 extends in the assembled state to the handle support 3 and is used in sections in an opening 9 formed in the handle support 3.

FIG. 2 again shows an individual part of the inventive outside door handle assembly 1, in which representation now also individual components can be seen, which are fastened in the assembled state to the handle support 3. Usually, these components are mounted on the handle support before assembly of the handle carrier 3 on the inside of the door 4, which shortens the assembly time and facilitates the assembly as a whole. First, respective lever arms 10 of a handle member 11 are inserted through openings 44 in a shell shell 15 and then into receptacles 12 provided in the handle support 3 before the free ends of the respective lever arms 10 are rotatably connected to respective pivot axes 13 and the upper shell housing 15 on the handle support 3 is fixed. The horizontal pivot axes 13 are rotatably mounted on the handle support 3, so that the handle member 11 is mounted pivotally mounted on the handle support 3. The pivot axes 13 are each coupled to a trained in the manner of a torsion spring resistance element 14, which is supported on the upper side of the handle support 3 and elastically compressed upon pivoting of the corresponding lever arm 10. The grip element 11 mounted on the handle support 3 in this manner is covered by the upper shell housing 15, viewed from the inside of the door 4, at least in the upper area of the handle support 3. The lower portion of the handle support 3 and the opening 9 of the handle support 3, however, is covered by the cup-shaped bowl housing 5, which is inserted into the opening 9 of the handle support 3 and secured to the handle support 3 itself. Thus, the handle member 11 exclusively from the outside of the door 6 by a in Well housing 5 formed access opening 16 (see FIG. 1 ) Operable, whereas the handle member 11 in the assembled state of the door outer handle assembly 1 from the inside of the door 4 is not actuated, such as from FIG. 3 shows that shows a rear view of the handle support with mounted thereon trough housing 5 and upper shell housing 15. In FIG. 2 Furthermore, a mechanical switching element 17 is shown, which is rotatably mounted on a holder 18 of the handle support 3. An actuating portion 19 is also rotatably mounted on one of the two pivot axes 13, wherein the actuating portion 19 has an actuating lug 20 which occurs upon pivoting of the pivot axis 13 with a coupling lug 21 of the mechanical switching element 17 for a mechanical door opening operation in operative connection and the mechanical switching element 17th pivoted about the bracket 18. For an electronic door opening operation, an electronic switching element 22 is further provided, which is arranged on a passage opening 23 of the upper shell housing 15, wherein the electronic switching element 22 is a crack plate-like return element 24a is connected upstream. Finally, the handle support 3 has a lock cylinder receptacle 25 into which a lock cylinder 26 can be fastened detachably for mechanical opening of the corresponding door lock by means of a bayonet connection.

FIG. 4 shows the triggering of an electronic or mechanical door opening operation certain handle member 11 which is mounted on the handle support 3 as described above and can be actuated only from the outside of the door 6 by a user by this on the handle member 11 in the direction of the door outside 6, ie leading the way in door 2 pulls. The grip element 11 has a pushbutton 27 mounted in a pivotable manner and a grip body 28. The handle body 28 has at its two longitudinal ends to the above-described lever arms 10, whose free ends are rotatably mounted on the horizontal direction of the pivot axis 13 on the handle support. In this way, the handle member 11 is pivotally connected to the handle support 3. Furthermore, it is the same that the grip body 28 and the push button 27 are mounted together on the respective pivot axes 13, so that the pivot axes 13 represent a common storage for handle body 28 and push button 27, wherein the push button 27 is still additionally rotatable relative to the handle body 28. In particular, the lever-like push button 27 is rotatably mounted on the handle body 28, so that the push button 27 is actuated and triggered to trigger the electronic door opening operation and at the same time the handle body 28 remains unverschwenkt and unconfirmed. Alternatively, however, a deviating storage of the push button 27 is conceivable.

Out FIG. 4 Furthermore, the rotatable mounting of the push button 27 protrudes on the handle body 28. The push button 27 has a plurality of horizontally extending pins 29 which define a pivot point 30 for the push button 27 on the handle body 28. On the handle body 28 journal receptacles 31 are provided, in which the pins 29 of the push button 27 can be introduced during assembly. In the pin receptacles 31 then the push button 27 is mounted relative to the handle body 28 rotatable about the pivot point 30, wherein the pivot point 30 is displaced with pivoting of the handle body 28 due to the present mechanism.

The push button 27 is formed as a two-armed lever member with a lever arm-like pressing portion 32 and a lever arm-like release portion 33, wherein the trigger portion 33 has an actuating projection 34. Upon actuation of the push-button 27, a user pulls on the pushing portion 32, whereby the pushing portion 32 rotates about the fulcrum 30. In addition, the triggering section 33, which serves to activate the electronic switching element 22, also rotates. Upon rotation of the push button 27 about the pivot point 30 of the trigger section 33 is pivoted in the direction of the electronic switching element 22, whereby the actuating projection 34 passes through the through hole 23 in the upper shell housing 15 through with the switching element 22 in operative connection and triggers the electronic door opening operation. Consequently, the push button 27, the lever arm-like pressing portion 32 and the lever arm, serving to activate the electronic switching element 22 trigger section 33. In this case, the pressing portion 32 and the trigger portion 33 extend from the pivot point 30 in opposite directions, wherein the push button 27 is rotatable about the pivot point 30.

As further in FIG. 4 is shown, the handle body 28 on a lever arm-like effective portion 35. The active section 35 is in the rest position of the push button 27 (see, for example FIG. 7 ), ie, in a position in which the pressing portion 32 is not operated, spaced from the pressing portion 32. To realize the distance between the pressing portion 32 and the active portion 35, an elastic return element 24b is provided, which is arranged in the assembled state of the outside door handle assembly 1 between the handle body 28 and the push button 27 and formed in the form of a leaf spring.

Next, the interaction of the above-described components of the door outer handle assembly 1 will now be explained, in which case in the FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 an unactuated state of the handle member 11 is shown, whereas the handle member 11 in the FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 for triggering the electric door opening operation and in the FIGS. 11, 12 and 13 is actuated to trigger a mechanical door opening operation.

In the unactuated state of the outside door handle assembly 1, as shown in the Figure 5, 6 and 7 is shown, the pressing portion 32 of the push button 27 is in the rest position. In the rest position of the pressing portion 32 of the push button 27 is arranged spaced from the lever arm-like effective portion 35 of the handle body 28. This distance between the push button 27 and the handle body 28 or between the pressing portion 32 and the active portion 35 is realized in the illustrated embodiment by the return element 24b, which is disposed between the pressing portion 32 and the active portion 35 and is formed elastically deformable. In the present embodiment, the return element 24a further ensures that the pushbutton 27 is in the rest position. To this Purpose pushes the formed as a click plate return element 24a against the actuating projection 34 and thus urges the trigger section 33 back, whereby the push button 27 pivots about the pivot point 30 in the rest position in which the pressing portion 32 is spaced from the operative portion 35. Thus, the operating projection 34 of the trigger portion 33 of the push button 27 is also spaced from the electronic switching element 22. At least the actuating projection 34 is arranged so that the switching element 22 is not actuated. It is understood that in the rest position of the push button 27, which must be actuated exclusively by a user to trigger a door opening operation, and the handle body 29 is unconfirmed. The handle body 29 is thus not pivoted about the pivot axes 13, so that the actuating portion 19 is not actuated. Thus, the handle body 29 assumes a basic position, designed in the manner of a torsion spring resistance elements 14 are provided, which in the unactuated state of the outside door handle assembly 1, the handle body 28 via the lever arms 10 and the horizontal pivot axes 13 in the in the FIGS. 6 and 7 position. In order for the handle body 28 to be pivoted, the user must apply a force which counteracts the resistance element 14, as will be explained below.

In order to trigger an electronic door opening operation during normal operation of the outside door handle assembly 1, the user must actuate the pushbutton 27 by actuating the push portion 32 of the pushbutton 27 through the access opening 16. The operation of the pushing portion 32 in the present case is a pulling toward the vehicle outside. In the FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 the outside door handle assembly 1 is now actuated to trigger an electronic door opening operation. For this purpose, a push-button 27 is operated by a user by pulling on the pressing portion 32, thereby rotating the push-button 27 about the fulcrum 30. For this purpose, the user must apply a force to overcome the resistance of the two return elements 24a and 24b, but in The rule is not very high, because the electronic opening of the door to increase the comfort by a small amount of force on the part of the user. It should be mentioned that, alternatively, only one of the two return elements 24a or 24b can be provided, which seems perfectly sufficient to urge the pushbutton 27 into its rest position. By applying the force as described above, the push button 27 is pivoted relative to the handle body 28 to trigger the electronic door opening operation, wherein the handle body 28 itself is not pivoted and is still arranged in its unactuated basic position. By the rotation of the push button 27 about the pivot 30 counterclockwise around the push portion 32 of the push button 27 is pivoted in the direction of the active portion 35 of the handle body 28 so that the push button 27 is finally disposed in an operating position in which the pressing portion 32 at the Active section 35 is present. In the operating position, the trigger portion 33 of the push button 27 presses against the electronic switching element 22 and thus triggers the electronic door opening operation. As mentioned above, in this process, the handle body 28 is usually not operated, as this would require a disproportionately high force by the user, which is not used at all in a door opening operation under normal conditions by the user. The amount of force expended by the user need only be high enough to overcome the force of the return elements 24a and 24b to actuate and rotate the push section 32, but this force is relatively low because of the force of the return elements 24a and 24b should only prevent uncontrolled and unintentional turning of the push button 27 about the pivot point 30. Since the handle body 28 is still not actuated in the electronic door opening process, a rotation of the pivot axes 14 remains off, so that the non-rotatably connected to one of the two pivot axes 14 actuating portion 19 is still not actuated, as from FIG. 8 is apparent.

The electronic door opening operation requires an existing power supply through the electrical system of the motor vehicle. However, in order to perform a door opening operation even in the case of a power failure, an emergency operation is provided in the outside door handle assembly 1 according to the present invention, which is referred to as a mechanical door opening operation. This emergency operation or this mechanical door opening operation is in the FIGS. 11, 12 and 13 shown. For mechanical opening of the door, the push button 27 is again actuated by the user and thereby pivoted about the pivot point 30 such that the pressing portion 32 of the push button 27 is disposed adjacent to the active portion 35 of the handle body 28. However, the actuation force applied by the user is now so great that now also the grip body 28 is pivoted via the actuation of the pushbutton 27. For this purpose, it is necessary that the force applied by the user is greater than the force of the resistance elements 14, which counteract a pivoting of the grip body 28. For example, the force of the resistance elements 14 is four times higher than the force of the restoring elements 24a and 24b. In other words, in order to initiate a mechanical door opening operation, the user must press the push button 27 with a much higher actuation force than the push button 27 about the pivot point 30, but also the handle body 28 about the pivot point of the pivot axes 13 to pivot. In this way, the handle body 28 is coupled for movement with the pushbutton 27 and actuated via the push button 27 from the outside of the door 6, wherein the active portion 35 of the handle body 28 and the pressing portion 32 of the push button 27 are pivoted in an emergency operating position to trigger the mechanical door opening operation, in the FIGS. 12 and 13 is shown. Upon pivoting of the handle member 11 about the pivot axes 13, the pivot point 30 of the push button 27 moves in the direction of the outside door 6, so that the pivot point 30 is not stationary but upon pivoting of the handle body 28 in the direction of the door outside 6 shifts. In the emergency operating position, the pressing portion 32 is pivoted beyond the operating position. It can be seen that the spring-like resistance elements 14 have a force acting portion 35 of the handle body 28 in its unverschwenkte position, which is greater than the pressing portion 32 of the push button 27 in its rest position urging force. As well as out FIG. 11 it can be seen activated in the Notbetätigungsposition the motion-coupled to the handle body 28 actuating portion 19 of the handle member 11, the mechanical switching element 17. More specifically, in the emergency operation, the pivot axis 13 is rotated, on which the actuating portion 19 is mounted rotationally fixed. Characterized the manner of a lever member 40 formed actuating portion 19 is thereby moved, whereby the lever arm-like formed actuating lug 20 against the coupling lug 21 of the mechanical switching element 17 which is rotatably mounted on the handle support 3, presses. As a result, the mechanical switching element 17, which is designed as a Bowden cable lever 41, the operation of which is sufficiently known from the prior, so that apart from a more detailed functional description.

Of course, the invention described above is not limited to the described and illustrated embodiment. It will be appreciated that numerous modifications which are obvious to a person skilled in the art according to the intended application can be made to the embodiment shown in the drawing without departing from the scope of the invention. It belongs to the invention, all that which is contained in the description and / or shown in the drawing, including what, in deviation from the concrete embodiment obvious to those skilled.
