Description
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Türgriffanordnung für ein Kraftfahrzeug , die einen Griffträger, eine an dem Griffträger zum Öffnen einer Tür oder Klappe des Kraftfahrzeugs bewegbar gelagerte Handhabe, eine mechanische Kopplungsvorrichtung, durch die eine Bewegung der Handhabe auf eine fahrzeugseitige Schließanordnung übertragbar ist, und eine Sperrvorrichtung, die bei Einwirkung einer Beschleunigungskraft aus einer Normalbetriebsposition, in welcher eine Betätigung der Handhabe möglich ist, in wenigstens eine Blockierungsposition, in der eine Betätigung der Handhabe und/oder der Kopplungsvorrichtung blockiert ist, bewegbar ausgebildet ist, aufweist, wobei die Sperrvorrichtung eine drehbar am Griffträger gelagerte Drehachse und einen drehfest an der Drehachse angebrachten Massekörper umfasst und wobei die Drehachse an ihrem Umfang im Bereich ihres ersten Längsendes von einem ersten, höchstens halbkreisförmigen Wandabschnitt und im Bereich ihres zweiten Längsendes von einem zweiten, höchstens halbkreisförmigen Wandabschnitt abgestützt ist.The invention is directed to a door handle assembly for a motor vehicle having a handle support, a handle movably mounted on the handle support for opening a door or flap of the motor vehicle, a mechanical coupling device, by the movement of the handle on a vehicle-side locking arrangement is transferable, and a Locking device which is formed in at least one blocking position in which an actuation of the handle and / or the coupling device is blocked, movable upon application of an acceleration force from a normal operating position in which an actuation of the handle is possible, wherein the locking device is rotatable The rotational axis mounted on the handle carrier and a rotationally fixed attached to the axis of rotation mass body comprises and wherein the axis of rotation at its periphery in the region of its first longitudinal end of a first, at most semicircular wall portion and in the region of its second longitudinal end v is supported on a second, at most semicircular wall section.
Derartige Türgriffanordnungen mit einer Sperrvorrichtung sollen verhindern, dass die bei einem Unfall auftretenden Beschleunigungskräfte zu einer Betätigung der Handhabe bzw. des Türgriffs führen und eine ungewollte Öffnung der Tür des Kraftfahrzeugs erfolgt, was erhebliche Risiken für einen Insassen des Fahrzeugs mit sich bringt. Bei üblichen Türgriffanordnungen für Kraftfahrzeuge sind nämlich die vom Benutzer zu betätigenden Griffbauteile mechanisch mit einer fahrzeugseitigen Schließanordnung (der eigentlichen Türverriegelung) gekoppelt. Die Bewegung des Türgriffs bzw. der Handhabe wird durch die mechanische Kopplungseinrichtung auf die Schließanordnung übertragen und die Tür zur Öffnung freigegeben. Im Falle eines Unfalls wirken die Beschleunigungskräfte unter ungünstigen Bedingungen wie eine Betätigung des Griffbauteils durch einen Benutzer, da der Griff aufgrund der Massenträgheit in die Öffnungsrichtung beschleunigt werden kann. Bei einer Handhabe bzw. einem Türgriff ohne eine entsprechende Sperrvorrichtung würde die Bewegung des Griffbauteils relativ zu dem Fahrzeug zu einer Übertragung durch die mechanische Kopplungsvorrichtung auf die Schließanordnung im Fahrzeug und zu einer Freigabe der Tür führen. Eine solche Sperrvorrichtung wird im Stand der Technik für Türgriffanordnungen von Kraftfahrzeugen auch als Crashsperre oder Massensperre bezeichnet.Such door handle assemblies with a locking device to prevent the acceleration forces occurring in an accident lead to an actuation of the handle or the door handle and an unwanted opening of the door of the motor vehicle, which brings significant risks for an occupant of the vehicle. In conventional door handle assemblies for motor vehicles, namely, the user-operable gripping members are mechanically coupled to a vehicle-side locking assembly (the actual door lock). The movement of the door handle or the handle is transmitted by the mechanical coupling device to the locking assembly and released the door to the opening. In the case of an accident, the acceleration forces under adverse conditions such as an operation of the handle member by a user, since the handle due to the inertia can be accelerated in the opening direction. In a handle or a door handle without a corresponding locking device, the movement of the handle component relative to the vehicle would lead to a transmission through the mechanical coupling device to the locking arrangement in the vehicle and to a release of the door. Such a locking device is referred to in the art for door handle assemblies of motor vehicles as a crash barrier or mass lock.
Eine Türgriffanordnung der Eingangs bezeichneten Art ist zum Beispiel aus der
Es sind aus dem Stand der Technik auch Türgriffanordnungen bekannt, bei denen die Drehachse der Sperrvorrichtung nicht mit Hilfe einer - wie vorstehend beschriebenen - Klemmverbindung an dem Griffträger gelagert ist, sondern bei denen die Drehachse zum Beispiel mit Hilfe von Bolzen oder Sicherungsstiften drehbar gelagert ist. Jedoch erfordert eine solche besser gesicherte Lagerung der Drehachse einen erhöhten Montageaufwand, was sich wiederum nachteilig auf Seiten der Kosten einer solchen Türgriffanordnung auswirkt.There are also known from the prior art door handle assemblies in which the axis of rotation of the locking device is not supported by means of a - as described above - clamping connection to the handle support, but in which the axis of rotation is rotatably supported, for example by means of bolts or locking pins. However, such a better secured mounting of the axis of rotation requires an increased installation effort, resulting in in turn adversely affects the cost of such a door handle assembly.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Lösung zu schaffen, die auf konstruktiv einfache Weise eine Türgriffanordnung bereitstellt, die kostengünstig in ihrer Herstellung und einfach zu montieren ist und bei der darüber hinaus die Drehachse der Sperrvorrichtung auch bei hohen auf die Türgriffanordnung einwirkenden Kräften in ihrer Lagerung gesichert ist und damit ihrer Funktion im Crashfall nachkommt.The invention has for its object to provide a solution that provides a door handle assembly in a structurally simple manner that is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to assemble and in the beyond the axis of rotation of the locking device even at high acting on the door handle assembly forces in their storage is secured and thus fulfills its function in the event of a crash.
Bei einer Türgriffanordnung der Eingangs bezeichneten Art wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das erste Längsende der Drehachse zwischen dem ersten Wandabschnitt und einem höchstens halbkreisförmigen Gegenwandabschnitt, der in Bezug auf die Drehachse zu dem ersten Wandabschnitt axial versetzt angeordnet ist, eingesteckt und drehbar gelagert ist und dass das zweite Längsende der Drehachse mit Hilfe eines zur Montage der Sperrvorrichtung an dem Griffträger von dem zweiten Wandabschnitt weg bewegbaren und nach Montage zur Lagerung des zweiten Längsendes rückstellbaren Halteelements und des zweiten Wandabschnitts drehbar gelagert ist.In a door handle assembly of the type described input, the object is achieved in that the first longitudinal end of the axis of rotation between the first wall portion and a maximum semicircular counter wall portion which is axially offset with respect to the axis of rotation to the first wall portion, inserted and rotatably supported and in that the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation is rotatably mounted by means of a holding element movable away from the second wall section for mounting the locking device on the handle carrier and recoverable after mounting for mounting the second longitudinal end and the second wall section.
Vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous and expedient refinements and developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Dabei stellt die Lagerung des ersten Längsendes der Drehachse, welches zwischen dem ersten Wandabschnitt und dem Gegenwandabschnitt eingesteckt ist, eine formschlüssige Lagerung dar, bei welcher der Umfang der Drehachse am ersten Längsende auch bei Einwirkung hoher Kräfte gegen eine radiale Verschiebung gesichert ist. Der axiale Versatz des ersten Wandabschnitts zum Gegenwandabschnitt ermöglicht ein schräges Einstecken des ersten Längsendes der Drehachse bei deren Montage am Griffträger. Anschließend wird bei der Montage dann das zweite Längsende der Drehachse in den zweiten Wandabschnitt gedrückt, wobei zuvor das Halteelement von dem zweiten Wandabschnitt und damit aus dem Bewegungsweg des zweiten Längsendes der Drehachse wegbewegt wird, damit das zweite Längsende an dem zweiten Wandabschnitt anliegend angeordnet werden kann, bevor sich das Halteelement in seine ursprüngliche Ausgangslage zurückstellt und zur Sicherung auf das zweite Längsende der Drehachse einwirkt.The invention provides a door handle assembly of a motor vehicle is available, which is characterized by a functional design and has a simple and inexpensive construction. In this case, the bearing of the first longitudinal end of the axis of rotation, which is inserted between the first wall portion and the opposite wall portion, a positive storage is, in which the circumference of the axis of rotation is secured at the first longitudinal end, even under the action of high forces against radial displacement. The axial offset of the first wall section to the counter wall section allows an oblique insertion of the first longitudinal end of the axis of rotation during its mounting on the handle support. Subsequently, during assembly, the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation is then pressed into the second wall section, with the retaining element of FIG the second wall portion and thus from the path of movement of the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation is moved away, so that the second longitudinal end can be arranged adjacent to the second wall portion, before the retaining element returns to its original starting position and acts to secure to the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation.
Die Erfindung sieht in Ausgestaltung der Türgriffanordnung vor, dass der das erste Längsende abstützende erste Wandabschnitt und der Gegenwandabschnitt verschiedene Umfangsabschnitte im Bereich des ersten Längsendes der Drehachse abstützen. Wenn folglich sowohl der erste Wandabschnitt als auch der Gegenwandabschnitt maximal halbkreisförmig ausgebildet sind, aber dennoch von den beiden Abschnitten unterschiedliche Umfangsabschnitte der Drehachse abgestützt werden, so stützen beide Abschnitte den gesamten Umfang der Drehachse im Bereich ihres ersten Längsendes ab. Die vollumfängliche Abstützung sorgt bei einem Minimum an Spielfreiheit für eine sichere Lagerung des ersten Längsendes der Drehachse.The invention provides, in an embodiment of the door handle arrangement, that the first wall section supporting the first longitudinal end and the opposing wall section support different peripheral sections in the region of the first longitudinal end of the axis of rotation. Consequently, if both the first wall portion and the opposing wall portion are maximally semicircular, but are still supported by the two sections different peripheral portions of the axis of rotation, both sections support the entire circumference of the axis of rotation in the region of its first longitudinal end. The full support ensures a minimum of backlash for safe storage of the first longitudinal end of the axis of rotation.
Hinsichtlich einer Lagerung des zweiten Längsendes der Drehachse mit einem Minimum an Spielfreiheit sieht die Erfindung in weiterer Ausgestaltung vor, dass der das zweite Längsende abstützende zweite Wandabschnitt und das Halteelement verschiedene Umfangsabschnitte im Bereich des zweiten Längsendes der Drehachse abstützen. Dabei kann die Abstützung unterschiedlicher Umfangsabschnitte des zweiten Längsendes der Drehachse auch wiederum so weitreichend sein, dass das zweite Längsende der Drehachse durch den zweiten Wandabschnitt und das Halteelement vollumfänglich abgestützt ist.With regard to a storage of the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation with a minimum of backlash, the invention provides in a further embodiment, that the second longitudinal end supporting the second wall portion and the holding element support different peripheral portions in the region of the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation. In this case, the support of different peripheral portions of the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation can again be so far reaching that the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation is fully supported by the second wall portion and the retaining element.
Damit das Halteelement zur Montage der Sperrvorrichtung von dem zweiten Wandabschnitt weg bewegbar und nach Montage zur Lagerung und Abstützung des zweiten Längsendes rückstellbar ist, ist in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das Halteelement mit einem elastisch verformbaren Arm mit einem Rampenansatz ausgebildet ist, wobei der Rampenansatz auf der dem zweiten Wandabschnitt gegenüberliegenden Umfangsseite der Drehachse angeordnet ist.Thus, the holding element for mounting the locking device away from the second wall portion movable and recoverable after assembly for supporting and supporting the second longitudinal end, the invention is provided in a further embodiment that the holding element is formed with an elastically deformable arm with a ramp approach, wherein the Ramp approach is arranged on the second wall section opposite the circumferential side of the axis of rotation.
Zur Erleichterung der Montage der Sperrvorrichtung ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Rampenansatz mit einer in Richtung des zweiten Wandabschnitts ansteigenden Rampenfläche ausgebildet ist und eine Seitenfläche des Rampenansatzes an der Drehachse anliegt, wobei zur Montage der Sperrvorrichtung an dem Griffträger das erste Längsende entsprechend zwischen dem ersten Wandabschnitt und dem Gegenwandabschnitt eingesteckt ist und das zweite Längsende den elastischen Arm über die Rampenfläche von dem zweiten Wandabschnitt weg drückend und zum zweiten Wandabschnitt bewegend ausgebildet ist, wobei bei Anordnung des zweiten Längsendes am zweiten Wandabschnitt der Rampenansatz in Bezug auf die Drehachse zu dem zweiten Wandabschnitt axial versetzt angeordnet ist. Der Rampenansatz mit seiner Rampenfläche dient dazu, das Halteelement bei Montage quasi automatisch aus dem Montage-Bewegungsweg des zweiten Längsendes der Drehachse zu bewegen, wobei das zweite Längsende selbst den elastischen Arm des Halteelements weg drückt.To facilitate the mounting of the locking device, it is advantageous if the ramp approach is formed with a rising in the direction of the second wall portion ramp surface and a side surface of the ramp attachment abuts the axis of rotation, wherein for mounting the locking device on the handle support the first longitudinal end corresponding to between the first Wall portion and the opposite wall portion is inserted and the second longitudinal end of the resilient arm over the ramp surface of the second wall portion away and moving towards the second wall portion is formed, wherein in the arrangement of the second longitudinal end on the second wall portion of the ramp extension with respect to the axis of rotation to the second wall portion is arranged offset axially. The ramp approach with its ramp surface serves to move the support member during assembly almost automatically from the assembly path of movement of the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation, the second longitudinal end itself presses the elastic arm of the support member away.
Zur Reduzierung der Anzahl an Bauteilen und damit der Kosten für die Türgriffanordnung ist in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der erste Wandabschnitt, der zweite Wandabschnitt, der Gegenwandabschnitt und das Halteelement Teil des Griffträgers sind. Insbesondere sind die Wandabschnitte, der Gegenwandabschnitt und das Halteelement einstückig mit dem Griffträger ausgebildet. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass der Griffträger als kostengünstiges Spritzgussteil hergestellt ist.To reduce the number of components and thus the cost of the door handle assembly is provided in a further embodiment of the invention that the first wall portion, the second wall portion, the counter wall portion and the holding member are part of the handle support. In particular, the wall sections, the counter wall section and the retaining element are formed integrally with the handle carrier. This makes it possible that the handle support is made as a low-cost injection molded part.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der elastisch verformbare Arm des Halteelements als Teil einer Umfangswandung eines Hülsenkörpers elastisch in Richtung des Inneren des Hülsenkörpers bewegbar ausgebildet ist. Der Hülsenkörper bietet dabei eine Art Schutz für die elastische Auslenkbewegung des Arms des Halteelements. Auch der Hülsenkörper kann mit dem Griffträger kostengünstig - zum Beispiel im Spritzgussverfahren - einstückig hergestellt und ausgebildet sein.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the elastically deformable arm of the holding element is formed as part of a peripheral wall of a sleeve body movable in the direction of the interior of the sleeve body movable. The sleeve body offers a kind of protection for the elastic deflection movement of the arm of the retaining element. Also, the sleeve body can cost with the handle support - for example, by injection molding - be made in one piece and designed.
Der Hülsenkörper kann zusätzlich auch zur Sicherung des zweiten Längsendes der Drehachse dienen. Zu diesem Zweck sieht die Erfindung vor, dass ein an die Innenkontur des Hülsenkörpers angepasstes Sicherungselement formschlüssig und kraftschlüssig in den Hülsenkörper derart eingebracht ist, dass eine Bewegung des elastisch verformbaren Arms in Richtung des Inneren des Hülsenkörpers blockiert ist. Es versteht sich, dass das Sicherungselement erst nach Montage der Drehachse in den Hülsenkörper eingebracht wird, wodurch eine Auslenkung des elastischen Arms in Richtung des Inneren des Hülsenkörpers nicht mehr möglich ist. Jedoch ist zu diesem Zeitpunkt ein Axialabschnitt des zweiten Längsendes der Drehachse zwischen dem zweiten Wandabschnitt und dem Rampenansatz angeordnet, so dass das zweite Längsende gesichert und drehbar gelagert ist.The sleeve body can additionally serve to secure the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation. For this purpose, the invention provides that a to the inner contour of the sleeve body adapted securing element is positively and non-positively introduced into the sleeve body such that a movement of the elastically deformable arm is blocked in the direction of the interior of the sleeve body. It is understood that the securing element is introduced only after mounting the axis of rotation in the sleeve body, whereby a deflection of the elastic arm in the direction of the interior of the sleeve body is no longer possible. However, at this time, an axial portion of the second longitudinal end of the rotation axis is disposed between the second wall portion and the ramp base, so that the second longitudinal end is secured and rotatably supported.
Um zu verhindern, dass das Sicherungselement aus dem Hülsenkörper herausgleitet und dadurch die Sicherung des zweiten Längsendes der Drehachse gefährdet ist, ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Hülsenkörper innenseitig eine Ausnehmung aufweist, in welche ein auf dem Sicherungselement ausgebildeter Blockierungsansatz eingreift. Alternativ kann auch die Innenwandung des Hülsenkörpers einen Blockierungsansatz aufweisen, der mit einer Ausnehmung in dem Sicherungselement in Eingriff bringbar ist, um das Sicherungselement innerhalb des Hülsenkörpers axial zu fixieren.In order to prevent the securing element from sliding out of the sleeve body and thereby jeopardizing the securing of the second longitudinal end of the axis of rotation, it is advantageous if the sleeve body has on the inside a recess in which a locking projection formed on the securing element engages. Alternatively, the inner wall of the sleeve body may also have a blocking lug which is engageable with a recess in the securing element to axially fix the securing element within the sleeve body.
Eine weitere Kostenreduzierung für die Herstellung einer solchen Türgriffanordnung lässt sich dadurch erzielen, indem die Drehachse und der Massekörper als einstückiges Bauteil ausgebildet sind.A further cost reduction for the production of such a door handle assembly can be achieved by the axis of rotation and the mass body are formed as a one-piece component.
Damit die Handhabe der Türgriffanordnung nach der Einwirkung von Beschleunigungskräften nicht weiter blockiert ist, ist es in Ausgestaltung der Erfindung von Vorteil, wenn ein mechanisches Rückstellelement vorgesehen ist, das eine die Sperrvorrichtung in die Normalbetriebsposition drängende Kraft aufbringt. Anders als bei bekannten Sperrvorrichtungen, die im Crashfall infolge der Einwirkung von Beschleunigungskräften einrasten und manuell erst wieder gelöst werden müssen, damit die Handhabe betätigbar ist, ist die Handhabe somit nach der Einwirkung von Beschleunigungskräften wieder verwendbar und betätigbar, da sich die Sperrvorrichtung wieder in der Normalbetriebsposition befindet.So that the handle of the door handle assembly is not further blocked by the action of acceleration forces, it is advantageous in an embodiment of the invention if a mechanical return element is provided which applies a force urging the locking device in the normal operating position. In contrast to known locking devices which engage in the event of a crash due to the action of acceleration forces and manually must be solved again so that the handle is actuated, the handle is thus reusable and operable after the action of acceleration forces, as the locking device back in the Normal operating position.
Schließlich ist in Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das mechanische Rückstellelement ein elastisches Federelement umfasst, das sowohl an einem ortsfesten Ansatz des Griffträgers als auch an einer sich mit dem Sperrelement mitbewegenden Anlagefläche abgestützt ist, wobei sich bei Bewegung der Sperrvorrichtung in die erste oder zweite Blockierungsrichtung die Anlagefläche relativ zu dem Ansatz gegen die Kraft des elastischen Federelements bewegt.Finally, it is provided in an embodiment of the invention that the mechanical restoring element comprises an elastic spring element which is supported both on a stationary approach of the handle support and on a mitbewegenden with the locking element contact surface, wherein upon movement of the locking device in the first or second blocking direction the abutment surface moves relative to the shoulder against the force of the resilient spring element.
Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und nachstehenden noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung zu verlassen. Der Rahmen der Erfindung ist nur durch die Ansprüche definiert.It is understood that the features to be explained above and below can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or alone, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
