Das zweite Kupplungselement ist mit zwei, das erste Kupplungselement zwischen sich aufnehmenden Haltebacken mit Keilflächen aufweisenden Keilnuten ausgebildet, derart dass mittels einer motorischen Antriebsvorrichtung die Schließkeile durch auseinander verlagern mit ihren Keilflächen in die Keilnuten unter Anlage an deren Keilflächen gedrückt werden. Known from DE 10 2012 011 420 A1 coupling device of a vehicle for releasably connecting a pivotally mounted body part, in particular a vehicle door, rear or front door with a vehicle structure part comprises a first, with two parallel against each other slidably mounted locking wedges with wedge surfaces formed coupling element and a with this cooperating second coupling element, wherein in the coupled state of the coupling device via adjacent wedge surfaces, the first and second coupling element are coupled without play. The second coupling element is formed with two, the first coupling element between them holding jaws with wedge surfaces having splines, so that by means of a motor drive device, the locking wedges are displaced by apart with their wedge surfaces in the keyways under investment in the wedge surfaces are pressed.
Mit dieser Kupplungsvorrichtung wird mit nur zwei Schließkeilen ein wirksamer Formschluss mit den Haltebacken des zweiten Kupplungselementes erzielt, nämlich in allen in der Ebene senkrecht zu den Schließkeilen liegenden Richtungen, sowohl in Fahrzeuglängsrichtung (x-Richtung) als auch in Fahrzeughochrichtung (z-Richtung). In der Richtung, in der die Schließkeile in die Keilnuten der Haltebacken gefahren werden, besteht ein hoher Kraft- schluss. With this coupling device is achieved with only two locking wedges an effective positive engagement with the holding jaws of the second coupling element, namely in all lying in the plane perpendicular to the locking wedges directions, both in the vehicle longitudinal direction (x-direction) and in the vehicle vertical direction (z-direction). In the direction in which the closing wedges in the keyways of the holding jaws, there is a high power circuit.
Ferner wird für diese aus der DE 10 2012 011 420 A1 bekannten Kupplungsvorrichtung vorgeschlagen, wenigstens einen der Schließkeile auf der einer Haltebacke gegenüberliegenden Seitenkante mit einer Schließnase auszubilden, die in eine entsprechende Schließöffnung in der diesen Schließkeil aufnehmenden Keilnut einer Haltebacke des zweiten Kupplungselements beim Verriegeln einfährt. Dadurch wird auch in Fahrzeugquerichtung (y- Richtung), also sowohl in Richtung des Fahrzeuginneren als auch nach außen ein vollständiger Formschluss zwischen den beiden Kupplungselementen bewirkt. It is also proposed for this known from DE 10 2012 011 420 A1 coupling device to form at least one of the locking wedges on the side opposite a holding jaw side edge with a locking nose, which engages in a corresponding closing opening in the keyway receiving a keyway of a holding jaw of the second coupling element during locking , As a result, a complete positive connection between the two coupling elements is also effected in the vehicle transverse direction (y direction), that is to say both in the direction of the vehicle interior and also to the outside.
Schließlich ist bei einer Verwendung dieser bekannten Kupplungsvorrichtung zur lösbaren Kopplung einer geschlossenen Fahrzeugtüre mit einer B-Säule des Fahrzeugs ein übliches Fahrzeugschloss vorgesehen, wobei zur Betätigung des Fahrzeugschlosses als auch der Kupplungsvorrichtung ein Türinnen- und ein Türaußengriff vorgesehen ist. Der Einsatz sowohl einer Kupplungsvorrichtung als auch eines üblichen Fahrzeugschlosses führt zu hohen Material- und Montagekosten. Finally, in a use of this known coupling device for releasably coupling a closed vehicle door with a B pillar of the vehicle, a conventional vehicle lock is provided, wherein a door inside and an outside door handle is provided for actuating the vehicle lock and the coupling device. The use of both a coupling device and a conventional vehicle lock leads to high material and assembly costs.
