Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 15.The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock according to the preamble of
Tatsächlich meint die vorgenannte "Override"-Funktion, dass die Verriegelungseinheit vor der Betätigung der Betätigungshebelkette zum Öffnen des zugehörigen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschlusses nicht zunächst seine Position "entriegelt" einnehmen muss. Sondern der Vorgang der Entriegelung und anschließenden Auslösung bzw. das Öffnen des Gesperres erfolgen praktisch in einem Zug, wie dies in der
Allerdings sind derartige Kraftfahrzeugtürverschlüsse bzw. zugehörige Kraftfahrzeugtürschlösser konstruktiv relativ aufwendig gestaltet und dementsprechend mit nicht unerheblichen Kosten bei ihrer Realisierung verbunden. Das gilt insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Sicherungsvorrichtung bzw. Diebstahlsicherungsvorrichtung, die typischerweise einen eigenen Motor und wenigstens ein Stellelement umfasst. Hinzu kommt, dass der angesprochene Motor Geräusche bei seinem Betrieb verursacht, die teilweise als störend aufgefasst werden. Im Übrigen erhöht die relative Komplexität des Aufbaus die Gefahr von Funktionsstörungen und macht den bekannten Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss gegebenenfalls zusätzlich anfällig, was in ein Gehäuse eindringenden Schmutz, Feuchtigkeit etc. angeht.However, such motor vehicle door locks or associated motor vehicle door locks structurally designed relatively expensive and therefore associated with significant costs in their implementation. This applies in particular with regard to the security device or theft prevention device, which typically includes its own motor and at least one actuator. In addition, the mentioned engine causes noises in its operation, which are sometimes perceived as disturbing. Incidentally, the relative complexity of the structure increases the risk of malfunctions and makes the known motor vehicle door lock possibly additionally vulnerable, which concerns in a housing penetrating dirt, moisture, etc.
Im Stand der Technik nach der
Der zusätzlich noch zu berücksichtigende Stand der Technik nach der
Vor diesem Hintergrund schlägt die Erfindung die Gegenstände der unabhängigen Ansprüche vor..Against this background, the invention proposes the subject matters of the independent claims.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung kommen also wenigstens zwei Module zum Einsatz, nämlich ein obligatorisches Basismodul und ein optionales Nachrüstmodul, welches bei Bedarf an das Basismodul angeschlossen wird oder eben nicht. Dabei umfasst das Basismodul im Wesentlichen das Gesperre, die Betätigungshebelkette und die Verriegelungseinheit. Demgegenüber ist die Sicherungsvorrichtung als Nachrüstmodul ausgebildet und folglich optional.In the context of the invention, therefore, at least two modules are used, namely a mandatory base module and an optional retrofit module, which is connected to the base module if necessary or not. In this case, the base module essentially comprises the locking mechanism, the actuating lever chain and the locking unit. In contrast, the security device is designed as a retrofit module and therefore optional.
Als Folge hiervon kann ein Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss im Rahmen der Erfindung und je nach Bedarf mit der Sicherungsvorrichtung bzw. dem Nachrüstmodul ausgerüstet werden oder eben nicht. Hierbei geht die Erfindung von der Erkenntnis aus, dass derartige Sicherungsvorrichtungen nicht notwendigerweise immer und bei jedem Kraftfahrzeug bzw. Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss realisiert werden müssen. Typischerweise ist die Sicherungsvorrichtung als Diebstahlsicherungsvorrichtung ausgelegt und verhindert im Allgemeinen, dass eine mit einem entsprechenden Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss ausgerüstete Kraftfahrzeugtür nach Beschädigung bzw. Zerstörung einer Scheibe von innen her in unerlaubter Weise geöffnet wird. Das heißt, die Sicherungsvorrichtung bzw. Diebstahlsicherungsvorrichtung sorgt meistens dafür, dass ein Türinnengriff oder allgemein ein Innenbetätigungselement bei aktivierter bzw. eingelegter Sicherungsvorrichtung ohne Funktion ist. Das gilt meistens auch für ein Innenverriegelungselement.As a result, a motor vehicle door lock in the context of the invention and as needed to be equipped with the backup device or the retrofit module or not. In this case, the invention is based on the recognition that such safety devices do not necessarily have to be implemented always and in every motor vehicle or motor vehicle door lock. Typically, the security device is designed as an anti-theft device and, in general, prevents a motor vehicle door equipped with a corresponding motor vehicle door lock from being inadvertently opened from the inside after damage or destruction of a pane. That is, the security device or anti-theft device usually ensures that a door inner handle or generally an internal operating element with no activated or inserted safety device is without function. This usually also applies to an interior locking element.
Falls jedoch ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einer Tür ohne Innenverriegelungselement bzw. ohne Innenbetätigungselement ausgerüstet ist (beispielsweise eine Heckklappe), ist die betreffende Sicherungsvorrichtung respektive Diebstahlsicherungsvorrichtung entbehrlich. Dadurch ermöglicht die Erfindung beispielsweise die komplette Ausrüstung eines Kraftfahrzeuges mit fünf Türen unter Rückgriff auf ein und dasselbe Basismodul. Dieses Basismodul wird an den vier Seitentüren zusätzlich mit der als Nachrüstmodul ausgelegten Sicherungsvorrichtung aufgerüstet. Demgegenüber weist die Heckklappe oder eine Schrägklappe lediglich das Basismodul auf, weil für die Heckklappe im Beispielfall keine Diebstahlsicherungsfunktion und folglich die Sicherungsvorrichtung bzw. das Nachrüstmodul nicht erforderlich sind. Als Folge hiervon werden deutliche Kosteneinsparungen beobachtet. Denn typischerweise sind heutzutage die Kraftfahrzeugtürverschlüsse für einerseits die Seitentür und andererseits die Heckklappe unterschiedlich aufgebaut und ausgelegt.However, if a motor vehicle is equipped with a door without an inner locking element or without an inner operating element (for example, a tailgate), the respective securing device or theft prevention device is unnecessary. This allows the invention, for example, the complete equipment of a motor vehicle with five doors with recourse on one and the same basic module. This basic module is additionally upgraded on the four side doors with the safety device designed as a retrofit module. In contrast, the tailgate or a slanted flap only the base module, because for the tailgate in the example no anti-theft function and thus the backup device or the retrofit module are not required. As a result, significant cost savings are observed. For typically nowadays, the motor vehicle door locks are designed and constructed differently for the side door on the one hand and the tailgate on the other hand.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung besteht nun jedoch die Möglichkeit, sämtliche Kraftfahrzeugtüren mit dem jeweils übereinstimmenden Basismodul auszurüsten, welches je nach der jeweils zu bestückenden Tür und deren Auslegung (Seitentür oder Heckklappe) zusätzlich noch mit der Sicherungsvorrichtung bzw. dem Nachrüstmodul bedarfsweise ausgerüstet wird. Als Folge hiervon werden Synergieeffekte und Kostenvorteile beobachtet. Hinzu kommt, dass ein Kunde die Möglichkeit erhält, über die Nachrüstung der Sicherungsvorrichtung bzw. des Nachrüstmoduls individuell entscheiden zu können. Denn selbstverständlich sind auch Fälle in der Praxis denkbar, wo einzelne Seitentüren ohne Sicherungsvorrichtung bzw. Nachrüstmodul ausgelegt werden können.In the context of the invention, however, it is now possible to equip all motor vehicle doors with the respective matching base module, which is additionally equipped with the securing device or the retrofit module, depending on the respective door to be equipped and its design (side door or tailgate). As a result, synergy effects and cost advantages are observed. In addition, a customer is given the opportunity to decide on the retrofit of the security device or the retrofit module individually. Because of course, cases in practice are conceivable where individual side doors can be designed without safety device or retrofit module.
So ist es denkbar, an den hinteren Seitentüren ausschließlich mit einer Kindersicherung als Alternative zu arbeiten, welche - wenn sie eingelegt ist - die Diebstahlsicherung entbehrlich macht. Jedenfalls wird die Flexibilität erhöht. Außerdem werden Vorteile hinsichtlich der Akustik beobachtet, weil tatsächlich nur die die Sicherungsvorrichtung benötigenden Kraftfahrzeugtürverschlüsse mit dem Nachrüstmodul ausgerüstet werden. Das trägt schließlich auch zur Steigerung der Funktionssicherheit bei, weil nicht benötigte Elemente erfindungsgemäß entfallen. Hierin sind die wesentlichen Vorteile zu sehen.So it is conceivable to work on the rear side doors exclusively with a child safety lock as an alternative, which - when it is inserted - makes the theft protection unnecessary. In any case, the flexibility is increased. In addition, advantages in terms of acoustics are observed, because in fact only the vehicle door closures requiring the securing device are equipped with the retrofit module. Finally, this also contributes to the increase in functional reliability because unnecessary elements according to the invention are eliminated. Here are the main benefits.
Die Erfindung ermöglicht daher, dass bei einem Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss unterschiedliche Ausrüstungsvarianten je nach tatsächlichem Bedarf bei Realisierung signifikanter Kostenvorteile zur Verfügung gestellt werden können.The invention therefore makes it possible that in a motor vehicle door lock different equipment variants depending on actual needs Realization of significant cost advantages can be provided.
Im Detail wird meistens so vorgegangen, dass das Nachrüstmodul mit einem Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse ausgerüstet ist. Da die Sicherungsvorrichtung im Allgemeinen ein Sicherungselement und einen das Sicherungselement beaufschlagenden Sicherungsmotor aufweist, ist die Auslegung meistens so getroffen, dass das Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse das betreffende Sicherungselement und den Sicherungsmotor aufnimmt respektive trägt.In detail, the procedure is usually that the retrofit module is equipped with a retrofit module housing. Since the securing device generally has a securing element and a securing motor acting on the securing element, the design is usually made such that the retrofit module housing accommodates or carries the relevant securing element and the securing motor.
Auch das Basismodul verfügt über ein eigenes Gehäuse, das Basismodul-Gehäuse. Dieses Basismodul-Gehäuse nimmt wenigstens das Gesperre, die Betätigungshebelkette und die Verriegelungseinheit auf. Um die Anbringung und Aufrüstung des Nachrüstmoduls an dem Basismodul so einfach wie möglich umzusetzen, ist das Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse regelmäßig aufsteckbar auf das Basismodul-Gehäuse ausgebildet. In beiden Fällen kommen vorteilhaft Kunststoffspritzgussteile zur Realisierung des jeweiligen Modul-Gehäuses zum Einsatz.The basic module also has its own housing, the basic module housing. This base module housing accommodates at least the ratchet, the operating lever chain and the locking unit. In order to implement the attachment and upgrade of the retrofit module to the base module as simple as possible, the retrofit module housing is regularly plugged onto the base module housing. In both cases, plastic injection molded parts are advantageously used to realize the respective module housing.
Um die Vereinigung von dem Nachrüstmodul mit dem Basismodul zu erleichtern, sind das Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse und das Basismodul-Gehäuse regelmäßig mit korrespondierenden Zentrierelementen ausgerüstet. Bei diesen Zentrierelementen kann es sich um Zapfen und/oder Aussparungen und/oder Vorsprünge handeln. Einzelne oder alle Zentrierelemente können bei Bedarf auch Rastfunktion übernehmen. Im Allgemeinen reicht es jedoch aus, das Nachrüstmodul bzw. Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse gegenüber dem Basismodul respektive dessen Basismodul-Gehäuse mit Hilfe der Zentrierelemente ausgerichtet durch Aufstecken zu vereinigen.To facilitate the union of the retrofit module with the base module, the retrofit module housing and the base module housing are regularly equipped with corresponding centering. These centering elements may be pins and / or recesses and / or projections. Individual or all centering elements can also take over latching function if required. In general, however, it is sufficient to unite the retrofit module or retrofit module housing relative to the base module or its base module housing by means of the centering aligned by plugging.
Denn zu dem Basismodul-Gehäuse gehört typischerweise eine Basismodul-Gehäusehaube, welche das an sich offene Basismodul-Gehäuse verschließt und insgesamt gegen Schmutz oder eindringende Feuchtigkeit sichert. Sobald die Basismodul-Gehäusehaube montiert ist, erfährt das auf das Basismodul aufgesteckte Nachrüstmodul eine zusätzliche Halterung und Festlegung, nämlich mit Hilfe der Basismodul-Gehäusehaube. Dadurch ist das solchermaßen gebildete Gehäuse optimal vor Schmutz, Feuchtigkeit etc. geschützt. Je nach Bedarf an der entsprechend auszurüstenden Kraftfahrzeugtür weist das fragliche Gehäuse im Innern wie beschrieben das Nachrüstmodul auf oder eben nicht.For the base module housing typically includes a base module housing cover, which closes the base module housing open per se and overall ensures against dirt or moisture penetrating. As soon as the base module housing cover is mounted, this experiences the base module plugged retrofit module an additional support and determination, namely with the help of the base module housing cover. As a result, the housing thus formed is optimally protected against dirt, moisture, etc. Depending on the need for the correspondingly equipped motor vehicle door has the housing in question as described inside the retrofit module or not.
Die zuvor im Detail erläuterten Zentrierelemente sind im Allgemeinen am jeweiligen Modul-Gehäuse und/oder an Einbauelementen im oder am Modul-Gehäuse ausgebildet. Tatsächlich verfügt das Modul-Gehäuse beispielsweise über eine Einbaustruktur in Verbindung mit einer Steckerbuchse, die in diesem Zusammenhang das oder die benötigten Zentrierelemente aufweist. Auch ein Lagerzapfen für ein nachfolgend noch näher zu beschreibendes Kupplungselement kann in diesem Zusammenhang als Zentrierelement für das Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse fungieren.The centering elements explained in detail above are generally formed on the respective module housing and / or on mounting elements in or on the module housing. In fact, the module housing has, for example, a mounting structure in connection with a socket, which in this context has the required centering or the. Also, a journal for a coupling element to be described in more detail below can act as a centering element for the retrofit module housing in this context.
Das Sicherungselement ist im Allgemeinen mit wenigstens einem Betätigungszapfen ausgerüstet. Dieser Betätigungszapfen wechselwirkt in montiertem Zustand des Nachrüstmoduls an dem Basismodul mit dem zuvor bereits angesprochenen Kupplungselement. Das Kupplungselement verfügt über eine Kante für den hieran angreifenden Betätigungszapfen. Tatsächlich sorgt das Kupplungselement im Allgemeinen und je nach Stellung der Sicherungsvorrichtung dafür, dass die Betätigungshebelkette mit der Verriegelungseinheit gekoppelt oder beide vorgenannten Elemente voneinander entkoppelt werden. Die Kopplung der Betätigungshebelkette mit der Verriegelungseinheit korrespondiert zur Stellung "aus" der Sicherungsvorrichtung. Demgegenüber gehört die Entkopplung der Betätigungshebelkette von der Verriegelungseinheit zur Funktionsstellung "ein" der Sicherungsvorrichtung.The securing element is generally equipped with at least one actuating pin. This actuating pin interacts in the assembled state of the retrofit module to the base module with the above-mentioned coupling element. The coupling element has an edge for the actuation pin engaging thereon. In fact, in general and depending on the position of the securing device, the coupling element ensures that the actuating lever chain is coupled to the locking unit or that both aforementioned elements are decoupled from one another. The coupling of the actuating lever chain with the locking unit corresponds to the "off" position of the securing device. In contrast, the decoupling of the operating lever chain from the locking unit to the functional position "one" of the securing device.
Um diese verschiedenen Stellungen bei am Basismodul angebautem Nachrüstmodul realisieren zu können, überragt der Betätigungszapfen im Allgemeinen das Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse seitlich. Der Betätigungszapfen ist seinerseits an das Sicherungselement angeschlossen. Mit Hilfe des Sicherungsmotors kann das Sicherungselement und folglich auch der Betätigungszapfen beaufschlagt werden, so dass die Sicherungsvorrichtung insgesamt die zuvor skizzierten Funktionsstellungen "ein" und "aus" einzunehmen in der Lage ist.In order to be able to realize these different positions when mounted on the base module retrofit module, the actuating pin generally projects beyond the retrofit module housing side. The actuating pin is in turn connected to the securing element. With the help of the safety motor can the securing element and thus also the actuating pin are acted upon, so that the securing device is able to occupy the previously outlined functional positions "on" and "off" in a position.
Im Gegensatz zu dem Betätigungszapfen sind das Sicherungselement und der Sicherungsmotor im Allgemeinen in Überdeckung mit dem Sicherungsmodul-Gehäuse angeordnet und werden von diesem getragen. Wie bereits erläutert, handelt es sich bei der Sicherungsvorrichtung vorteilhaft um eine Diebstahlsicherungsvorrichtung. Schließlich ist Gegenstand der Erfindung ein Verfahren zum wahlweisen Betrieb eines Kraftfahrzeugtürverschlusses mit oder ohne Sicherungsvorrichtung, wie es im Anspruch 15 näher erläutert wird.In contrast to the actuating pin, the securing element and the securing motor are generally arranged in overlap with and supported by the securing module housing. As already explained, the securing device is advantageously an anti-theft device. Finally, the subject matter of the invention is a method for selectively operating a motor vehicle door lock with or without a safety device, as explained in more detail in
Im Ergebnis werden ein Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss und ein zugehöriges Betriebsverfahren vorgestellt, welches eine je nach Kundenwunsch bzw. Anforderung und damit bedarfsweise Ausrüstung mit der Sicherungsvorrichtung ermöglicht oder eben nicht. Dadurch lassen sich bedeutende Synergieeffekte realisieren, indem wie beschrieben beispielsweise ein fünftüriges Kraftfahrzeug an sämtlichen fünf Kraftfahrzeugtüren mit dem Basismodul ausgerüstet wird. Dieses Basismodul kann die wesentlichen Funktionszustände der betreffenden Kraftfahrzeugtür im Sinne von "geschlossen", "geöffnet", "entriegelt" oder auch "verriegelt" realisieren. Wird zusätzlich noch eine Sicherung im Sinne beispielsweise einer Diebstahlsicherung mit den weiteren Funktionsstellungen "Diebstahlsicherung ein" oder "Diebstahlsicherung aus" gewünscht, eröffnet die Erfindung die Möglichkeit, das Basismodul zusätzlich mit einem Nachrüstmodul bedarfsweise aufzurüsten. Dadurch verfügt das Basismodul über die bereits im Detail beschriebene Sicherungsvorrichtung bzw. Diebstahlsicherungsvorrichtung in Gestalt des Nachrüstmoduls. Hierin sind die wesentlichen Vorteile zu sehen.As a result, a motor vehicle door lock and an associated operating method are presented which, depending on the customer's request or requirement and, if necessary, equipment with the safety device or not. As a result, significant synergy effects can be realized by, for example, as described a five-door motor vehicle is equipped on all five motor vehicle doors with the base module. This basic module can implement the essential functional states of the relevant motor vehicle door in the sense of "closed", "open", "unlocked" or "locked". If, in addition, a fuse in the sense of, for example, an anti-theft device with the further functional positions "anti-theft device" or "anti-theft device" is desired, the invention opens up the possibility of additionally upgrading the base module with a retrofit module as required. As a result, the base module has the securing device or anti-theft device already described in detail in the form of the retrofit module. Here are the main benefits.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer lediglich ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellenden Zeichnung näher erläutert; es zeigen:

In den Figuren ist ein Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss dargestellt, der in seinem grundsätzlichen Aufbau über ein Gesperre 1, 2 aus im Wesentlichen Drehfalle 1 und Sperrklinke 2 verfügt. Das Gesperre 1, 2 wechselwirkt in bekannter Art und Weise mit einem nicht dargestellten Schließbolzen an beispielsweise einer B-Säule einer Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie. Bei diesem Vorgang taucht der Schließbolzen in einen Einlaufschlitz bzw. ein Einlaufmaul 3 ein bzw. kann aus diesem wieder entfernt werden. Denn das in den
Neben dem Gesperre 1, 2 aus Drehfalle 1 und Sperrklinke 2 verfügt der Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss noch über eine Betätigungshebelkette 4 sowie eine Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6. Von der Betätigungshebelkette 4 ist aus Gründen der Deutlichkeit lediglich ein Innenbetätigungshebel 4 dargestellt, welcher beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines Innentürgriffes in der in
Ist bei einer solchen und in
An dieser Stelle ist ein Kupplungshebel 7 bzw. allgemein ein Kupplungselement 7 vorgesehen, welches je nach seiner Stellung die Betätigungshebelkette bzw. den Innenbetätigungshebel 4 mit der Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6 koppelt oder voneinander entkoppelt. In der mechanisch gekoppelten Funktionsstellung des Innenbetätigungshebels bzw. der Betätigungshebelkette 4 mit der Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6 ist die Betätigungshebelkette 4 in der Lage, die Verriegelungseinheit von ihrer Stellung "verriegelt" in die Position "entriegelt" zu überführen und zugleich das Gesperre 1, 2 wie beschrieben zu öffnen. Dagegen korrespondiert die mechanisch entkoppelte Funktionsstellung der Betätigungshebelkette 4 von der Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6 dazu, dass entsprechende Betätigungen des Innentürgriffes und folglich des Innenbetätigungshebels respektive der Betätigungshebelkette 4 in diesem Zusammenhang leer gehen.At this point, a clutch lever 7 and generally a coupling element 7 is provided which, depending on its position, the actuating lever chain or the
Das Kupplungselement 7 nimmt folglich im Wesentlichen zwei Funktionsstellungen ein, wobei das Kupplungselement 7 mit Hilfe einer nachfolgend noch näher zu beschreibenden Sicherungsvorrichtung 8, 9, 10 zu diesem Zweck wechselwirkt. Tatsächlich steuert die Sicherungsvorrichtung 8, 9, 10 das Kupplungselement 7 einerseits in die die Betätigungshebelkette 4 und die Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6 mechanisch koppelnde Stellung. Hierzu korrespondiert die Funktionsstellung "aus" der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8, 9, 10. Dagegen gehört zu der Funktionsstellung "ein" der Sicherungsvorrichtung 8, 9, 10 die Stellung des Kupplungselementes 7, bei welcher die Betätigungshebelkette 4 und die Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6 voneinander mechanisch entkoppelt sind. Die Sicherungsvorrichtung 8, 9, 10 ist also in der Lage, die Betätigungshebelkette 4 und die Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6 wahlweise funktionslos/funktionierend setzen zu können.Consequently, the coupling element 7 essentially assumes two functional positions, with the coupling element 7 interacting with the aid of a securing
Grundsätzlich lässt sich die Sicherungsvorrichtung 8, 9, 10 aber auch so auslegen, dass entweder die Betätigungshebelkette 4 oder die Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6 wahlweise funktionslos/funktionierend gesetzt werden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sorgt die Sicherungsvorrichtung 8, 9, 10 jedoch dafür, dass sowohl die Betätigungshebelkette 4 als auch die Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6 entweder beide funktionslos sind oder beide funktionieren.In principle, however, the securing
Anhand einer vergleichenden Betrachtung der
Das Nachrüstmodul 8, 9, 10 verfügt über ein Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse 10. Darüber hinaus weist das Nachrüstmodul 8, 9, 10 bzw. die Sicherungsvorrichtung 8, 9, 10 ein Sicherungselement 9 und einen das Sicherungselement 9 beaufschlagenden Sicherungsmotor 8 auf. Bei dem Sicherungselement 9 handelt es sich um ein Kreisscheibensegment, welches mit Hilfe einer auf eine Abtriebswelle des Sicherungsmotors 8 aufgesteckten Schnecke im Uhrzeigersinn oder im Gegenuhrzeigersinn verschwenkt werden kann. Außerdem erkennt man, dass ein Betätigungszapfen 9a vorgesehen ist, welcher an das Sicherungselement 9 angeschlossen ist.The
Auch das Basismodul 1 bis 6 und 11 verfügt über ein eigenes Gehäuse, das Basismodul-Gehäuse 11. Dieses Basismodul-Gehäuse 11 nimmt wenigstens das Gesperre 1, 2, die Betätigungshebelkette 4 und die Verriegelungseinheit 5, 6 auf. Sowohl das Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse 10 als auch das Basismodul-Gehäuse 11 sind vorliegend als Kunststoffspritzgussteile ausgelegt. Außerdem lässt sich das Nachrüstmodul 8, 9, 10 auf das Basismodul 1 bis 6 und 11 aufstecken. Zu diesem Zweck ist das Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse 10 aufsteckbar auf das Basismodul-Gehäuse 11 ausgebildet.Also, the
Man erkennt, dass das Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse 10 und das Basismodul-Gehäuse 11 mit korrespondieren Zentrierelementen 12, 13, 14 ausgerüstet sind. Bei den Zentrierelementen 12, 13, 14 handelt es sich im dargestellten Beispielfall um Zapfen 12, eine Aussparung 14 sowie einen Vorsprung 13. Die Zentrierelemente 12, 13, 14 sind am jeweiligen Modul-Gehäuse 10, 11 respektive an Einbauelementen im oder am Modul-Gehäuse 10, 11 ausgebildet.It can be seen that the
Tatsächlich erkennt man, dass im dargestellten Beispiel das Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse 10 mit einer Aussparung 14 ausgerüstet ist. Dagegen finden sich die Zapfen 12 an einer Einbaustruktur 15 für das Basismodul-Gehäuse 11, die zugleich eine Steckerbuchse 16 trägt. Schließlich ist noch ein weiterer Zapfen 12 in Gestalt einer das Kupplungselement 7 aufnehmenden Drehachse realisiert. Dieser Zapfen 12 wechselwirkt mit einer entsprechend kreisförmigen Aussparung 14 am bzw. im Nachrüstmodul-Gehäuse 10. Der Vorsprung 13 findet sich schließlich an der bereits angesprochenen Einbaustruktur 15.In fact, it can be seen that in the example shown, the
Sobald das Nachrüstmodul 8, 9, 10 bzw. die Sicherungsvorrichtung 8, 9, 10 mit dem Basismodul 1 bis 6 und 11 vereinigt ist, das heißt in montiertem Zustand des Nachrüstmoduls 8, 9, 10, wechselwirkt der Betätigungszapfen 9a mit dem bereits besprochenen Kupplungselement 7. Zu diesem Zweck verfügt das Kupplungselement 7 über eine in
Man erkennt anhand der
Wie bereits beschrieben, kann das Basismodul 1 bis 6 und 11 wahlweise mit dem Nachrüstmodul 8, 9, 10 ausgerüstet werden oder eben nicht. Sobald das Basismodul 1 bis 6 und 11 mit dem Nachrüstmodul 8, 9, 10 aufgerüstet ist, verfügt der solchermaßen realisierte Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss über die beschriebene Diebstahlsicherungsfunktion. Ohne Nachrüstmodul 8, 9, 10 ist keine Diebstahlsicherungsfunktion gegeben bzw. muss eventuell anderweitig realisiert werden. Typischerweise benötigen Heckklappen bei Kraftfahrzeugen eine solche Diebstahlsicherungsfunktion nicht, so dass für solche Kraftfahrzeugtürverschlüsse das Nachrüstmodul 8, 9, 10 entbehrlich ist.As already described, the
In sämtlichen Fällen wird das Basismodul-Gehäuse 11 mit Hilfe einer Basismodul-Gehäusehaube 18 verschlossen. Die Basismodul-Gehäusehaube 18 sorgt zugleich dafür, dass das auf das Basismodul 1 bis 6 und 11 aufgesteckte Nachrüstmodul 8, 9, 10 in der aufgesteckten Position gehalten wird.In all cases, the
