Description

Kraftfahrzeugtü rsch loss  Motor vehicle door loss
Beschreibung: Description:
Die Erfindung betritt ein Kraftfahrzeugtürschloss, mit einem Schlossgehäuse, und mit wenigstens einem im Schlossgehäuse angeordneten Hebel, welcher durch eine Öffnung im Schlossgehäuse zumindest teilweise aus dem Schlossgehäuse ragt bzw. herausragt, wobei der Hebel als entlang der Öffnung bewegbarer sowie im Innern des Schlossgehäuses gelagerter Schwenkhebel ausgebildet ist. The invention enters a motor vehicle door lock, with a lock housing, and with at least one arranged in the lock housing lever which projects through an opening in the lock housing at least partially from the lock housing or protruding, wherein the lever as along the opening movable and mounted inside the lock housing pivot lever is trained.
Bei Kraftfahrzeugtürschlössern des eingangs beschriebenen Aufbaus, wie sie vielfach in der Praxis eingesetzt werden und beispielsweise in der gattungsbildenden DE 35 26 501 A1 beschrieben sind, wird typischerweise so vorgegangen, dass ein Außenbetätigungshebel, ein Außenverriegelungshebel oder auch weitere Hebel wie Innenbetätigungshebel, Innenverriegelungshebel etc. durch jeweils zugehörige Öffnungen im Schlossgehäuse nach außen geführt werden. Das ist erforderlich, weil die vorgenannten Hebel im Allgemeinen über zwischengeschaltete Verbindungselemente wie Bowdenzüge, Stangen oder dergleichen mit zugehörigen und entfernt vom Kraftfahrzeugtürschloss in einer Kraftfahrzeugtür angebrachten Manipulationselementen mechanisch verbunden sind. So wird beispielsweise der Außenbetätigungshebel mechanisch mit einem Außentürgriff gekoppelt, der entfernt vom Schlossgehäuse außenseitig an einer Kraftfahrzeugtür angebracht ist. Der Außenverriegelungshebel mag mit einem im Bereich des Außentürgriffes vorgesehenen Schließzylinder mechanisch gekoppelt sein. In motor vehicle door locks of the structure described above, as they are widely used in practice and described for example in the generic DE 35 26 501 A1, is typically proceeded so that an external operating lever, an external locking lever or other lever such as internal operating lever, internal locking lever, etc. by each associated openings are guided in the lock housing to the outside. This is necessary because the aforementioned levers are generally mechanically interconnected via intervening connecting elements such as Bowden cables, rods or the like with associated and remotely mounted from the motor vehicle door lock in a motor vehicle door manipulation elements. For example, the outside operating lever is mechanically coupled to an outside door handle that is mounted remotely from the lock housing on the outside of a motor vehicle door. The outer locking lever may be mechanically coupled to a lock cylinder provided in the region of the outer door handle.
Ein zusätzlich vorgesehener Innentürgriff arbeitet auf den Innenbetätigungshebel und ein Innenverriegelungsknopf ist im skizzierten Beispielfall mit dem Innenverriegelungshebel mechanisch verbunden. Zwar werden einzelne dieser Funktionen heutzutage zumindest teilweise motorisch dargestellt, indem ein im Innern des Schlossgehäuses vorgesehener Motor von außen elektrisch entsprechend angesteuert wird. Allerdings sind nach wie vor ein oder mehrere Hebel durch zugehörige Öffnungen nach außerhalb des Schlossgehäuses geführt, schon aus Sicherheitsgründen sowie aufgrund notwendiger Redundanz, um auch beim Ausfall der Elektrik die wesentlichen Funktionen des Kfz-Türschlosses darstellen zu können. Solche Öffnungen im Schlossgehäuse sind problematisch, was die Langlebigkeit des Kraftfahrzeugtürschlosses und dessen unveränderte Funktionsfähigkeit angeht. Denn durch die Öffnung können Staub, Schmutz, Feuchtigkeit etc. ins Innere des Kraftfahrzeugtürschlosses eindringen. Das führt im Extremfall zu Korrosion, welche die Funktionsfähigkeit nicht nur beeinträchtigt, sondern gänzlich zum Erliegen bringen kann. An additionally provided inside door handle works on the inside operating lever and an inside locking button is in the sketched example case with the internal locking lever mechanically connected. Although some of these functions are nowadays at least partially motorized by a provided inside the lock housing motor is electrically controlled from the outside accordingly. However, one or more levers are still guided by associated openings to the outside of the lock housing, already for security reasons and due to necessary redundancy to be able to represent the essential functions of the vehicle door lock even when the electrical system fails. Such openings in the lock housing are problematic, as far as the longevity of the motor vehicle door lock and its unchanged functionality is concerned. Because through the opening dust, dirt, moisture, etc. can penetrate into the interior of the motor vehicle door lock. In the extreme case, this leads to corrosion, which not only impairs functionality, but can also bring it to a complete standstill.
Im weiteren Stand der Technik gibt es zwar bereits mit der DE 199 20 278 A1 Ansätze dahingehend, einen hermetischen Verschluss des Schlossgehäuses zu realisieren. Zu diesem Zweck ist das Schlossgehäuse bei der vorgenannten Lehre vollständig geschlossen ausgebildet. Außerdem sind zugehörige Betätigungselemente ausnahmslos außerhalb des Schlossgehäuses angeordnet und wechselwirken über im Schlossgehäuse angebrachte Verbindungselemente mit Schließelementen und/oder Verriegelungs- /Auslöseelementen. Das heißt, durch den Rückgriff auf obligatorische Verbindungselemente zwischen den Betätigungselementen und den Schließelementen respektive Verriegelungs-/Auslöseelementen wird ein relativ komplexer und kostenträchtiger Aufbau vorgegeben. Im Übrigen leidet an dieser Stelle die Flexibilität und muss letztlich für jedes einzelne Kraftfahrzeugtürschloss bzw. zugehöriges Schlossgehäuse eine eigene Konstruktion entwickelt und umgesetzt werden. In the further prior art, although there are already approaches with DE 199 20 278 A1 to realize a hermetic closure of the lock housing. For this purpose, the lock housing is formed completely closed in the aforementioned teaching. In addition, associated actuating elements are arranged without exception outside of the lock housing and interact via fasteners mounted in the lock housing with closing elements and / or locking / triggering elements. That is, by resorting to mandatory connecting elements between the actuators and the closing elements respectively locking / triggering elements a relatively complex and costly structure is given. Incidentally, flexibility suffers at this point and ultimately has to be for each one Motor vehicle door lock or associated lock housing to be developed and implemented their own design.
Es ist zwar durch den weiteren Stand der Technik bereits bekannt, Schlossgehäuse mit einer einstückig daran ausgebildeten Dichtung auszurüsten. Die EP 0 940 241 A2 lehrt in diesem Zusammenhang ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Schlossgehäuses mit einer einstückig daran ausgebildeten Dichtung, welches durch Spritzgießen aus einem Kunst- stoffmaterial hergestellt wird. Das Problem der zwangsläufigen Öffnungen für hierdurch aus dem Schlossgehäuse ragende Hebel findet an dieser Stelle jedoch keine Erwähnung. Although it is already known by the further prior art, to equip lock housing with a one-piece seal formed thereon. In this context, EP 0 940 241 A2 teaches a method for producing a lock housing with a seal formed integrally thereon, which is produced by injection molding from a plastic material. The problem of inevitable openings for hereby protruding from the lock housing lever is not mentioned at this point.
Das gilt schließlich auch für den aus der DE 198 58 270 A1 bekannten Verbundkörper aus technischen Thermoplasten und Polyurethan-Elastomeren unter Verwendung eines Haftvermittlers. Bei diesem Verbundkörper kann es sich auch um ein mit Dichtlippen versehenes Türschlossgehäuse handeln, ohne dass die Position und Lage der Dichtlippen konkretisiert wird. This finally also applies to the known from DE 198 58 270 A1 composite body of engineering thermoplastics and polyurethane elastomers using a coupling agent. This composite body can also be a door lock housing provided with sealing lips, without the position and position of the sealing lips being specified.
Demzufolge liegt der Erfindung das technische Problem zugrunde, ein Kraftfahrzeugtürschloss des eingangs beschriebenen Aufbaus so weiter zu entwickeln, dass die Langlebigkeit und Funktionssicherheit verbessert sind und insbesondere das Eindringen von Verschmutzungen im Bereich der Öffnung eingedämmt oder doch zumindest verringert wird. Zur Lösung dieser technischen Problemstellung ist ein gattungsgemäßes Kraftfahrzeugtürschloss im Rahmen der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Öffnung mit zumindest einer einen Öffnungsspalt größtenteils verschließenden Dichtung ausgerüstet ist. Das heißt, die Öffnung bzw. der an dieser Stelle zwangsläufig vorgesehene Öffnungsspalt wird im Rahmen der Erfindung größtenteils mit einer Dichtung verschlossen. Auf diese Weise kann der Öffnungsspalt insgesamt geschlossen werden bzw. besteht zumindest die Möglichkeit, den Öffnungsspalt gegenüber bisherigen Ausführungsformen von seiner Größe her deutlich zu verringern. Accordingly, the invention is the technical problem of further developing a motor vehicle door lock of the structure described above so that the longevity and reliability are improved and in particular the ingress of contaminants in the region of the opening is contained or at least reduced. To solve this technical problem, a generic motor vehicle door lock in the invention is characterized in that the opening is equipped with at least one opening gap a largely occlusive seal. That is, the opening or at this point inevitably provided opening gap is largely closed within the scope of the invention with a seal. In this way, the opening gap can be closed as a whole or there is at least the possibility of significantly reducing the opening gap compared to previous embodiments of its size.
Um dies im Detail zu erreichen, ist die zumindest eine Dichtung an die Öffnung angeschlossen, beispielsweise adhäsiv mit dem Öffnungsrand verbunden. In diesem Fall wird die Dichtung also nachträglich unter Zwischenschaltung eines Adhäsivmittels mit dem Öffnungsrand gekoppelt. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann die Dichtung aber auch an den Öffnungsrand angespitzt werden. So wird meistens vorgegangen. Selbstverständlich liegen auch andere Kopplungsmethoden der Dichtung an den Öffnungsrand im Rahmen der Erfindung, beispielsweise eine Kopplung mit Klipsen, durch Einrasten etc.. To achieve this in detail, the at least one seal is connected to the opening, for example, adhesively connected to the opening edge. In this case, the seal is thus subsequently coupled with the interposition of an adhesive agent with the opening edge. Alternatively or additionally, however, the seal can also be sharpened at the opening edge. This is usually the case. Of course, other coupling methods of the seal are at the opening edge in the context of the invention, for example, a coupling with clips, by snapping etc ..
Im Regelfall und nach vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist die Dichtung jedoch an den Öffnungsrand angespritzt. In diesem Fall handelt es sich bei der Dichtung um eine beispielsweise an den Öffnungsrand angespritzte Filmdichtung, also eine Dichtung geringer Stärke mit gleichsam filmartigem Charakter. Dadurch kann die Dichtung prinzipiell sogar so ausgelegt werden, dass sie den Öffnungsspalt vollständig verschließt und lediglich der aus dem Öffnungsspalt ragende Hebel bzw. Schwenkhebel die Dichtung geringfügig verformt. As a rule, and according to an advantageous embodiment, however, the seal is molded onto the opening edge. In this case, the seal is a film seal, for example molded onto the edge of the opening, that is to say a seal of small thickness with, as it were, a film-like character. As a result, the seal can in principle even be designed so that it completely closes the opening gap and only slightly deforms the seal protruding from the opening gap lever or pivot lever seal.
Es ist aber auch alternativ denkbar, dass die Dichtung den Öffnungsspalt nicht vollständig verschließt und lediglich bis an den aus der Öffnung herausragenden Hebel heranreicht. In diesem Fall wird man meistens mit zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Dichtungen arbeiten, die zwischen sich einen Öffnungsschlitz freilassen, innerhalb dessen der Schwenkhebel hin und her bewegt werden kann. In diesem Fall entspricht der Öffnungsschlitz von seiner lichten Weite her gesehen der Materialstärke des Schwenkhebels oder kann diese sogar unterschreiten. But it is also alternatively conceivable that the seal does not completely close the opening gap and only reaches up to the protruding from the opening lever. In this case, one will usually work with two opposing seals that leave between them an opening slot within which the pivot lever can be moved back and forth. In this case, the opening slot corresponds to its Clear width seen from the material thickness of the pivot lever or may even fall below this.
Die Öffnung zum Durchtritt des Hebels ist im Allgemeinen überwiegend rechteckförmig ausgelegt. Als Folge hiervon beschreibt der Öffnungsrand dann auch ein offenes Rechteck. Dabei kann die Dichtung an eine oder beide Längskanten des Öffnungsrandes angeschlossen sein. Im letztgenannten Fall kommen also zwei sich gegenüberliegende Dichtungen an den jeweiligen Längskanten des rechteckförmigen Öffnungsrandes zum Einsatz. Diese beiden an die sich gegenüberliegenden Längskanten des Öffnungsrandes angeschlossenen Dichtungen nehmen den Hebel in etwa mittig zwischen sich auf. The opening for the passage of the lever is generally designed predominantly rectangular. As a result, the opening edge then also describes an open rectangle. In this case, the seal may be connected to one or both longitudinal edges of the opening edge. In the latter case, therefore, two opposing seals are used on the respective longitudinal edges of the rectangular opening edge. These two connected to the opposite longitudinal edges of the opening edge seals take the lever approximately midway between them.
Selbstverständlich ist auch eine andere Aufteilung möglich. Das kann insgesamt derart geschehen, dass die Dichtungen den bereits angesprochenen Öffnungsschlitz beschreiben, innerhalb dessen sich der Schwenkhebel hin- und her bewegen lässt. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass die beiden Dichtungen mit ihren Oberkanten aneinander anstoßen oder sogar einen Überlapp aufweisen. In diesem Fall sorgt der zwischen die Dichtungen eintauchende Hebel respektive Schwenkhebel dafür, dass die Dichtungen durch ihn jeweils verformt werden. Zu diesem Zweck handelt es sich bei der einen oder den mehreren Dichtungen meistens um solche, die aus einem elastomeren Kunststoff hergestellt sind. Grundsätzlich können das Schlossgehäuse und die Dichtung materialeinheitlich ausgebildet sein. Eine solche Vorgehensweise hat den Vorteil, dass das Schlossgehäuse und die Dichtung in einem gemeinsamen einkomponentigen Herstellungsprozess beispielsweise durch Spritzgießen von Kunststoff, produziert werden. In diesem Fall ist das Schlossgehäuse zumindest im Bereich der Dichtung und zusätzlich die Dichtung jeweils aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Dabei kann mit gleichen oder aber auch unterschiedlichen Kunststoffen gearbeitet werden. In letztgenanntem Fall kommt typischerweise ein sogenannter Zwei- oder sogar Dreikomponenten-Kunststoffspritzgießvorgang zum Einsatz, der in einem einzigen Herstellungsprozess das Schlossgehäuse inklusive Dichtung definiert. Of course, another division is possible. This can be done in total so that the seals describe the already mentioned opening slot, within which the pivot lever can be moved back and forth. But it is also possible that the two seals abut each other with their upper edges or even have an overlap. In this case, the between the seals immersed lever respectively pivot lever ensures that the seals are deformed by him in each case. For this purpose, the one or more seals are usually those made from an elastomeric plastic. In principle, the lock housing and the seal can be formed of the same material. Such an approach has the advantage that the lock housing and the seal in a common one-component manufacturing process, for example by injection molding of plastic, are produced. In this case, the lock housing is at least in the area the seal and in addition the seal each made of plastic. It can be worked with the same or different plastics. In the latter case, a so-called two- or even three-component plastic injection molding process is typically used, which defines the lock housing including seal in a single manufacturing process.
Meistens wird man so vorgehen, dass das Schlossgehäuse aus einem thermoplastischen Kunstsoff hergestellt wird. Demgegenüber wird die Dichtung aus einem elastomeren Kunststoff gefertigt. Für das Schlossgehäuse haben sich Thermoplaste wie beispielsweise POM (Polyoximethylen), PP (Polypropylen), PE (Polyethylen) oder PA (Polyamid) als günstig erwiesen. Die Dichtung wird meistens aus einem Elastomer wie NBR (Acrylnitril-Butadien- Kautschuk), EPDM (Ethylen-Polypropylen-Kautschuk), NR (Naturkautschuk) oder auch SBR (Stryrol-Butadien-Kautschuk) hergestellt. Dabei wird man aus Kostengründen sowohl das Schlossgehäuse und die Dichtung typischerweise in einem gemeinsamen Herstellungsprozess produzieren. Hierbei mag es sich um einen Zweikomponenten-Spritzgießvorgang handeln. Im Ergebnis wird ein Kraftfahrzeugtürschloss zur Verfügung gestellt, welches mit einem Schlossgehäuse ausgerüstet ist, dessen wenigstens eine obligatorische Öffnung zum Durchtritt eines im Schlossgehäuse gelagerten Schwenkhebels über besondere Dichtungsmaßnahmen verfügt. Tatsächlich ist der an dieser Stelle zwangsläufige Öffnungsspalt größtenteils durch eine Dichtung verschlossen. Bei der Dichtung handelt es sich typischerweise um eine Elastomerdichtung, die bei Bedarf ganz oder teilweise von dem hindurch tretenden Hebel verformt wird oder verformt werden kann. Die Elastomerdichtung kann zusammen mit dem Schlossgehäuse aus einem Thermoplast in einem einzigen gemeinsamen Herstellungsverfahren produziert werden, so dass die Kosten für das Schlossgehäuse diejenigen eines herkömmlichen Schlossgehäuses nur unwesentlich übersteigen. Gleichwohl wird ein besonderer Zusatznutzen erreicht, weil die im Innern des Schlossgehäuses aufgenommenen Elemente, insbesondere Schließelemente, Verriegelungselemente etc. vor eindringendem Schmutz, Wasser etc. besonders geschützt werden. Dadurch wird die Langlebigkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Kraftfahrzeugtürschlosses im Vergleich zum Stand der Technik erheblich gesteigert und als Folge hiervon können Funktionsstörungen praktisch ausgeschlossen werden. Hierin sind die wesentlichen Vorteile zu sehen. Most of the time you will proceed so that the lock housing is made of a thermoplastic Kunstsoff. In contrast, the seal is made of an elastomeric plastic. For the lock housing, thermoplastics such as POM (polyoxymethylene), PP (polypropylene), PE (polyethylene) or PA (polyamide) have proven to be favorable. The gasket is usually made of an elastomer such as NBR (acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber), EPDM (ethylene-polypropylene rubber), NR (natural rubber) or SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber). For reasons of cost, both the lock housing and the seal will typically be produced in a common manufacturing process. This may be a two-component injection molding process. As a result, a motor vehicle door lock is provided, which is equipped with a lock housing, which has at least one obligatory opening for the passage of a mounted in the lock housing pivot lever on special sealing measures. In fact, the opening gap at this point is largely closed by a seal. The gasket is typically an elastomeric gasket which, if desired, may be deformed or deformed in whole or in part by the passing lever. The elastomeric seal can be produced together with the lock housing from a thermoplastic in a single common manufacturing process, so that the cost of the lock housing only slightly exceed those of a conventional lock housing. Nevertheless, a special added benefit is achieved because the recorded inside the lock housing elements, in particular locking elements, locking elements, etc. are particularly protected against ingress of dirt, water, etc. As a result, the longevity of the motor vehicle door lock according to the invention is significantly increased compared to the prior art and as a result, functional disturbances can be virtually ruled out. Here are the main benefits.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer lediglich ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellenden Zeichnung näher erläutert; es zeigen: In the following the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing showing only one exemplary embodiment; show it:
Fig. 1 ein Kraftfahrzeugtürschloss ausschnittsweise mit einem Schlossgehäuse und zugehöriger Öffnung und Fig. 2 einen schematischen vergrößerten Schnitt durch Fig. 1 im Bereich der Öffnung. Fig. 1 is a motor vehicle door lock fragmentary with a lock housing and associated opening and Fig. 2 is a schematic enlarged section through Fig. 1 in the region of the opening.
In den Figuren ist ein Kraftfahrzeugtürschloss dargestellt, welches mit einem Schlossgehäuse 1 und wenigstens einem im Schlossgehäuse 1 angeordneten Hebel 2 ausgerüstet ist. Bei dem Hebel 2 handelt es sich nicht einschränkend um einen Außenverriegelungshebel 2, der als Schwenkhebel 2 ausgebildet ist. Der Schwenkhebel 2 ist im Innern bzw. am Schlossgehäuse 1 gelagert. Tatsächlich gehört zu dem Schwenkhebel 2 eine Drehachse 3, die von einem in das Schlossgehäuse 1 eingesetzten Stift definiert wird, auf welchem der Schwenkhebel 2 schwenkbar gelagert ist. In the figures, a motor vehicle door lock is shown, which is equipped with a lock housing 1 and at least one lever 2 arranged in the lock housing 1. The lever 2 is not limited to an outer locking lever 2, which is designed as a pivot lever 2. The pivot lever 2 is mounted in the interior or on the lock housing 1. In fact, belongs to the pivot lever 2 is a rotation axis 3, which is a in the lock housing 1 inserted pin is defined, on which the pivot lever 2 is pivotally mounted.
Der Hebel bzw. Schwenkhebel 2 in Gestalt des Außenverriegelungshebels 2 ist im dargestellten Beispiel und nicht einschränkend mit einem Schließzylinder mechanisch verbunden. Schließbewegungen an diesem Schließzylinder korrespondieren dazu, dass der Schwenkhebel 2 Schwenkbewegungen um die Drehachse 3 vollführt, wie ein in der Fig. 1 angedeuteter Doppelpfeil am Schwenkhebel 2 verdeutlich. Bei diesem Vorgang bewegt sich der Hebel bzw. Schwenkhebel 2 entlang einer Öffnung 4, durch welche der Hebel 2 nach außerhalb des Schlossgehäuses 1 ragt. Tatsächlich ist im Beispielfall eine nicht dargestellte Betätigungsstange ausgehend vom Schließzylinder außerhalb des Schlossgehäuses 1 an den fraglichen Schwenkhebel 2 angeschlossen. Die Öffnung 4 im Schlossgehäuse 1 beschreibt einen zugehörigen Öffnungsspalt 5, der erfindungsgemäß mit einer den Öffnungsspalt 5 größtenteils verschließenden Dichtung 6 ausgerüstet ist. Man erkennt, dass im Ausführungsbeispiel zwei sich gegenüberliegende Dichtungen 6 realisiert sind, die den Hebel bzw. Schwenkhebel 2 überwiegend mittig zwischen sich aufnehmen. Die beiden Dichtungen 6 beschreiben insgesamt einen Öffnungsschlitz 7, welcher von dem Hebel bzw. Schwenkhebel 2 im dargestellten Beispielfall vollständig ausgefüllt wird (vgl. Fig. 2). The lever or pivot lever 2 in the form of the outer locking lever 2 is mechanically connected in the example shown and not restrictive with a lock cylinder. Closing movements on this lock cylinder correspond to the fact that the pivot lever 2 performs pivoting movements about the rotation axis 3, as illustrated by a double arrow on the pivot lever 2 indicated in FIG. In this process, the lever or pivot lever 2 moves along an opening 4, through which the lever 2 protrudes to the outside of the lock housing 1. In fact, in the example, an actuating rod, not shown, starting from the lock cylinder outside the lock housing 1 connected to the pivot lever 2 in question. The opening 4 in the lock housing 1 describes an associated opening gap 5, which is equipped according to the invention with a seal 6 largely closing the opening gap 5. It can be seen that in the exemplary embodiment, two opposing seals 6 are realized, which receive the lever or pivot lever 2 mainly centrally between them. Overall, the two seals 6 describe an opening slot 7, which is completely filled by the lever or pivoting lever 2 in the example shown (see FIG. 2).
In den Figuren erkennt man noch einen Öffnungsrand 8 bzw. Längskanten dieses Öffnungsrandes 8, an welche die Dichtungen 6 jeweils angeschlossen sind. Die Öffnung 4 ist überwiegend rechteckförmig mit dem als offenes Rechteck gestalteten Öffnungsrand 8 ausgebildet. Dabei ist jeweils eine Dichtung 6 an die sich gegenüberliegenden Längskanten dieses Öffnungsrandes 8 angeschlossen. In the figures, one can still see an opening edge 8 or longitudinal edges of this opening edge 8, to which the seals 6 are respectively connected. The opening 4 is formed predominantly rectangular with the opening edge 8 designed as an open rectangle. In each case, a seal 6 is connected to the opposite longitudinal edges of this opening edge 8.
Bei der Dichtung 6 handelt es sich jeweils um eine an den Öffnungsrand 8 angespritzte Filmdichtung. Tatsächlich verfügt die Dichtung bzw. Filmdichtung 6 über eine Materialstärke s, welche meistens einem Bruchteil einer Material- stärke t des Schlossgehäuses 1 im Bereich des Öffnungsrandes 8 entspricht. Nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel gilt: t = 1...5s, insbesondere t = 1 3s. Grundsätzlich sind natürlich auch andere Größenverhältnisse denkbar. Das Schlossgehäuse 1 und die Dichtung bzw. die Dichtungen 6 können materialeinheitlich ausgebildet sein. Im dargestellten Beispielfall sind das Schlossgehäuse 1 und die Dichtungen 6 jedoch aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen hergestellt. The seal 6 is in each case a molded on the opening edge 8 film seal. In fact, the seal or film seal 6 has a material thickness s, which usually corresponds to a fraction of a material thickness t of the lock housing 1 in the region of the opening edge 8. According to the embodiment: t = 1 ... 5s, in particular t = 1 3s. Basically, of course, other size ratios are conceivable. The lock housing 1 and the seal or the seals 6 may be formed of the same material. In the example shown, however, the lock housing 1 and the seals 6 are made of different materials.
Tatsächlich kommt an dieser Stelle ein jeweils verschiedener Kunststoff für einerseits das Schlossgehäuse 1 und andererseits die Dichtungen 6 zum Einsatz. Während das Schlossgehäuse 1 überwiegend aus einem Thermoplast bzw. einem thermoplastischen Kunststoff hergestellt ist, kommt als Werkstoff für die Dichtungen ein Elastomer zum Einsatz. Das Schlossgehäuse 1 inklusive der Dichtungen 6 wird typischerweise in einem gemeinsamen Herstellungsprozess produziert. Das kann im Zuge eines sogenannten Zweikomponenten-Spritzgießvorganges geschehen. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die jeweilige Dichtung 6 unmittelbar an den Öffnungsrand 8 bzw. das Schlossgehäuse 1 anspritzen. Der elastomere Charakter der Dichtungen 6 stellt sicher, dass sich die jeweilige Dichtung 6 bei Bedarf flexibel an den in der Öffnung 4 hin und her bewegbaren Schwenkhebel 2 anschmiegen kann. Tatsächlich wird im Rahmen des Ausführungsbeispiels mit einem Öffnungsschlitz 7 zwischen den beiden sich gegenüberliegenden Dichtungen 6 gearbeitet, welcher im Wesentlichen der Materialstärke des Schenkhebels 2 entspricht (vgl. Fig. 2). D. h. jeweilige Frontkanten der Dichtungen 6 stoßen an den Schwenkhebel 2 an. Es ist aber auch möglich, eine oder beide sich gegenüberliegenden Dichtungen 6 breiter oder länger auszugestalten, so dass dann die Dichtung 6 nicht - wie dargestellt - an der Oberfläche des Schwenkhebels 2 Stoß an Stoß anliegt, sondern vielmehr im Bereich der Oberfläche des Schwenkhebels 2 bewusst verformt wird. In fact, at this point in each case a different plastic for one hand, the lock housing 1 and on the other hand, the seals 6 are used. While the lock housing 1 is predominantly made of a thermoplastic or a thermoplastic material, an elastomer is used as the material for the seals. The lock housing 1 including the seals 6 is typically produced in a common manufacturing process. This can be done in the course of a so-called two-component injection molding process. In this way, the respective seal 6 can be sprayed directly on the opening edge 8 or the lock housing 1. The elastomeric nature of the seals 6 ensures that the respective seal 6 can flexibly cling to the pivoting lever 2 which can be moved to and fro in the opening 4 as required. In fact, in the context of the exemplary embodiment, an opening slot 7 is used between the two opposing seals 6, which essentially corresponds to the material thickness of the sliding lever 2 (see FIG. 2). Ie. respective front edges of the seals 6 abut on the pivot lever 2. But it is also possible to design one or both opposing seals 6 wider or longer, so that then the seal 6 is not - as shown - rests on the surface of the pivot lever 2 butt to shock, but rather in the area of the surface of the pivot lever 2 conscious is deformed.
Dabei kann sogar grundsätzlich und gänzlich ohne Öffnungsschlitz 7 gearbeitet werden. In diesem Fall stoßen die Dichtungen 6 mit ihren Oberkanten bzw. Faltkanten aneinander oder weisen sogar einen Überlapp auf. Dann sorgt der durch die Öffnung 4 hindurch tretende Schwenkhebel 2 jeweils für eine Verformung der einen oder der beiden Dichtungen 6. In jedem Fall stellen die beiden Dichtungen 6 sicher, dass die obligatorische Öffnung 4 vollständig oder nahezu vollständig verschlossen wird, so dass zuverlässig das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit, Schmutz, Staub etc. ins Innere des Schlossgehäuses 1 erfindungsgemäß verhindert wird. It can even be worked basically and completely without opening slot 7. In this case, the seals 6 abut each other with their upper edges or folded edges or even have an overlap. Then, the pivoting lever 2 passing through the opening 4 respectively causes deformation of the one or both of the gaskets 6. In each case, the two gaskets 6 ensure that the obligatory opening 4 is completely or almost completely closed, so that penetration is reliable Moisture, dirt, dust, etc. inside the lock housing 1 is prevented according to the invention.
