Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a motor vehicle outside door handle with a handle body, which forms a handle for a user and has a receiving space serving for receiving electrical and / or electronic components, and a sensor module which is received fixed in the receiving space of the handle body.
  • An automotive exterior door handle of the type described is, for example, from the EP 2 252 753 B1 and has a handle body with a receiving space and an insertable into the receiving space sensor module, in which two serving to trigger a de-locking or locking sensor electrodes and an evaluation circuit are housed.
  • the sensor module should be fixed in the receiving space, so that no vibration influences the sensor module or emanating from it.
  • a sensor module which is vibrating in the receiving space would cause an undesired noise development in the outside door handle and consequently represent a disturbing source of noise.
  • vibrations can lead to damage of the electrical system and / or electronics in the sensor module, so that the sensor electrodes used to trigger the unlocking and locking operation fail and it is only possible to open or close a door of the motor vehicle with the aid of a mechanical key.
  • For receiving the sensor module in the grip body it is known to pour out the interior of the grip body with the sensor module accommodated therein with a potting compound in order to fix the sensor module accordingly. In the case of a defect in the sensor module cast into the handle body, the entire handle body must be replaced, since replacement of the sensor module from the casting compound is possible only with great effort.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a solution in a structurally simple way and cost provides a motor vehicle outside handle, which ensures better comfort and at the same time a simple and flawless operation, especially in the unwanted and damaging effects of vibration on the sensor module are largely prevented.
  • the object is achieved in that the outside of the sensor module at least one of this projecting and elastically trained approach is attached, which rests for clamping the sensor module in a clamping manner on at least one thorn-like system, the is formed on an inner wall of the receiving space of the handle body.
  • the invention provides a motor vehicle outside door handle is available, which is characterized by a simple and compact design.
  • a play-free press connection between the sensor module and handle body is made in the motor vehicle outside door handle, through which the sensor module is securely and fixedly received in the receiving space, so that vibrations due to a loose recording of the sensor module in the handle body can be avoided.
  • this inexpensive to be performed press connection the sensor module is clamped in the receiving space of the handle body such that a movement of the sensor module is inhibited relative to the handle body.
  • the invention provides, in an embodiment of the motor vehicle outside door handle, that the at least one elastically formed attachment is attached to an end face of the sensor module.
  • a respective end face bounds the sensor module in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle outside door handle. Since the handle body of the motor vehicle outside door handle in the longitudinal direction generally has the largest installation space, the elastically formed lug can be mounted in a space-saving manner on one of the two end faces of the sensor module, wherein the thorn-like contact of the inner wall is placed and designed in accordance with the arrangement of the lug.
  • the at least one elastically formed projection has at least one passage opening, through which at least one connecting cable is guided sealed into the sensor module.
  • the at least one passage opening is reduced in the at least one elastically formed approach by acting on the approach mandrel-like system and sealingly abuts the at least one connecting cable.
  • the interaction of the mandrel-like system with the elastic approach leads to a reduction of the passage opening, so that it encloses sealingly through the connecting cable, whereby the interior of the sensor module is at least sealed against water, condensate and other moisture and protected.
  • the Sensor module has at least one elastic arm which can fix a connecting cable by clamping, wherein when fixing the sensor module a pin-like projection formed on the inner wall of the receiving space of the handle body, presses on the at least one elastic arm of the sensor module.
  • the sensor module is fixed not only by means of the mandrel-like system, but also with the aid of a mandrel-like projection in the receiving space.
  • the at least one elastic arm is formed on a longitudinal side of the sensor module.
  • the thorn-like projection is formed on the inner wall of the handle body and arranged to allow the projection to act on the elastic arm.
  • an elastic arm which is formed on the sensor module, but is not mandatory.
  • the invention provides in a possible embodiment of the motor vehicle door handle, that the inner wall of the receiving space of the handle body has at least one mandrel-like clamping attachment, which presses for fixing the sensor module on the outer wall of the sensor module.
  • the at least one mandrel-like clamping attachment is formed in a region of the inner wall of the receiving space of the handle body, which is opposite to a longitudinal side or end face of the sensor module.
  • the clamping projection of the inner wall can thus press, for example, on one front end of the sensor module, whereas the system presses on the projection on the other front end of the sensor module, so that the sensor module is clamped to the front ends.
  • the invention provides in a further embodiment, that the elastically formed approach consists of an elastomer.
  • the cross section of the through opening is reduced so that a connection cable led through the through opening is enclosed by the through opening and moisture can not enter the sensor module through the through opening formed in the projection.
  • the approach After removal of the fixation, the approach returns to its original shape, so that enlarges the passage opening and the connection cable can be replaced if necessary.
  • a sensor module 2 is inserted into a receiving space 3 of a handle body 4.
  • Termination cable 5 connected to the sensor element are guided through the interior of the handle body 4 so as to be behind a (in FIG. 1 not shown) door wall inside a motor vehicle door emerge from the handle.
  • the connection cables run in a connector 6 (see FIG. 3 ) and are coupled to a power supply and controller.
  • the in FIG. 2 illustrated handle body 4 is mounted in the installed state in a motor vehicle door on one side pivotally and has a frame-like structure, wherein in the center of the handle body 4 of the receiving space 3 is provided for the sensor module 2.
  • the handle body 4 forms a handle for a user, wherein the receiving space 3 of the handle body 4 for receiving electrical and / or electronic components, such as the sensor module 2, is used.
  • a closing button 7 with a microswitch 8 is provided inside the handle body 3.
  • the sensor module 2, the closing button 7 with the microswitch 8 and the connector 6, which is coupled via corresponding connecting cable 5 to the sensor module 2 and the closing button 6, represent electrical and / or electronic components and belong to an electronic assembly 9 of the vehicle outside door handle 1, the in FIG.
  • the sensor module 2 may comprise an antenna module in order to enable a data exchange with an electronic key and a vehicle-side communication device.
  • the sensor module 2 and the microswitch 8 are received in the interior of the handle body 4, as the FIG. 1 can be seen, wherein the interior of the handle body 1 is closed by a cover, not shown in the figures in the assembled state.
  • the sensor module 2 is received fixed in the receiving space 3 of the handle body 4. So that the sensor module 2 is held fixed in the receiving space 3, an elastically formed projection 10 is attached to the outside of the sensor module 2, wherein the attached to the outer wall 11 of the sensor module 2 approach 10 laterally of the Sensor module 2 protrudes.
