Definitions
- the object of the present invention is a hinge apt for moving and supporting movable parts of motor vehicles, such as doors, boots, bonnets, hatchback doors and the like.
- motor vehicles can be equipped with servomechanisms that aid in the closing or opening of movable parts of the bodywork thereof. Solutions of this type can be found for example on "high-end” vehicles for civilian use and on commercial/industrial vehicles provided with doors/hatchback doors that are particularly heavy or unwieldy.
- Servo control devices of a known type are usually realised with hydraulic or pneumatic actuators, which are apt for exerting a "supplementary force" with respect to that of the operator (or even, in some cases, for exerting all the force needed without intervention on the part of the operator, who only needs to use an opening or closing command) in order to conveniently move the door or bonnet or whatever else needs to be opened or closed.
- these above-mentioned devices are mounted separately with respect to the kinematic articulation mechanisms of a variety of doors and hatchback doors.
- the present invention is thus aimed at devising a hinge for movable parts of motor vehicle bodyworks (for example doors, bonnets, boots and/or hatchback doors) that is capable of overcoming the limitations cited hereinabove.
- the present invention is principally aimed at devising a hinge that can be put to use functionally integrating greater and more practical utility in terms of offering aid in opening and closing the above-mentioned "movable parts of bodywork", while offering at the same time considerable overall compactness and production costs that are as low as possible.
- the present invention is aimed at devising a hinge that can also replace previously installed elements, for example by means of aftermarket upgrades or during maintenance procedures or repair work.
- the defined technical task and the specified aims are substantially achieved by a hinge for movable parts of motor vehicle bodyworks, having the characteristics recited in one or more of the appended claims.
- the hinge according to the present invention is indicated in its entirety by the reference number 1 and it substantially comprises a first hooking portion 2 (connectable to a fixed part of a chassis and/or a bodywork), a kinematic articulation mechanism 3 connected to the first hooking portion 2, and a second hooking portion 4 connected to the kinematic articulation mechanism 3 (and also connectable to a movable part of a chassis and/or a bodywork).
- the present hinge further comprises a servo control unit 5 simultaneously associated with the first and the second hooking portions 2, 4.
- the kinematic articulation mechanism 3 can conveniently define an articulated quadrilateral and thus comprises:
- the servo control unit 5 comprises at least one actuator 5a, which is apt for exerting a so-called “active force” at least on the second hooking portion 4 (which is connected to the door/hatchback door and that is thus capable of transmitting servo control action).
- the servo control unit 5 may also be connected to components of the kinematic articulation mechanism, or more generally, it can be mounted on/dismounted from a hinge previously installed /in use on the vehicle. With this aim, the servo control unit can utilise "extra travel" of the movable part thereof, without the use of tools and without manoeuvring and/or using external components.
- the actuator 5a comprises at least one pre-loaded axial spring.
- This spring is interconnected through a fifth pin 5b and a sixth pin 5c with the first and the second hooking portions 2 e 4, respectively, so as to be able to exert the above-mentioned "active force" in a linear proportion to the elongation thereof extending between the fifth pin 5b and the sixth pin 5c.
- the pre-load adjusting unit As concerns the positioning of the pre-load adjusting unit, it coincides with the spring-guiding element 6 or the end housing 7.
- the pre-load adjusting unit for the servo control unit can also perform the function of an "opening limit stop" for the movable part of a door/hatchback door during normal procedures, and even an extra supplementary range of travel of the movable part of the door/hatchback door can be made available without having to manoeuvre any components.
- At least one geometric-adjustment element 8 is present.
- This geometric-adjustment element is connectable to the first and/or the second hooking portion in order to vary a relative position of the fifth and/or sixth pin 5b and/or 5c, thus varying the "lever arms" and therefore the servo control actuating modes as well.
- a damping element is conveniently installable in the hinge 1, the damping element being apt for generating a damping force.
- This damping force is exerted coordinately with the active force generated by the servo control unit 5, and according to prior art technology this damping element is preferably apt for generating a viscous force (or in any case a force proportional to a displacement and/or a relative speed between two components of the same hinge) .
- An object of the present invention is also a motor vehicle comprising bodywork and a predetermined number of movable parts of this bodywork (e.g.: doors, bonnets, boots and/or hatchback doors movably articulated relative to the bodywork).
- This motor vehicle comprises at least one hinge as described hereinabove and as claimed below (conveniently, this hinge is interposed between the bodywork and at least one of the "movable parts" listed above).
- the invention achieves numerous advantages.
- the device can be mounted in spaces that are quite limited, and the servo control function can be integrated with the kinematic articulation function. Furthermore, the complete absence of working fluids or gases makes this device virtually free from functional variations due to environmental factors such as temperature.
- the present invention is capable of markedly facilitating the opening of a door/hatchback door or a similar movable object, and capable of keeping it stably in an open position without the aid of additional mechanical stops.
- a further advantage achieved by the present hinge is offered by the fact it is possible to safeguard any "fragile” or “delicate” parts of the vehicle that may be mounted in the vicinity of the door/bonnet/hatchback door, during the closing step.
- the servo control means as described hereinabove and claimed below also functions as a "brake” during closure, thereby preventing violent closure and thus the transmission of abrupt stresses.
