Definitions
- the invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, with a locking mechanism, furthermore with at least one actuating lever for triggering the locking mechanism, and with a locking lever which can be pivoted about an axis and which, at least when decelerating forces of a predetermined magnitude and direction occur, , ineffective.
- the locking mechanism typically consists of a rotary latch and a pawl.
- deceleration forces of predetermined magnitude and direction occurring in connection with an accident, there is a fundamental risk that the locking mechanism will be opened unintentionally because the delaying forces act on the actuating lever to trigger the locking mechanism.
- Such unintentional openings especially in the event of an accident, are prevented by the locking lever, which makes the locking mechanism ineffective in the case of the deceleration forces in question of a predetermined size and direction.
- the mentioned deceleration forces or associated vehicle accelerations mostly act in the transverse (that is to say in the Y) direction of the motor vehicle and mainly occur in the event of a side impact.
- the locking lever is equipped with a stop recess.
- the stop recess engages positively in an opening of a counter-locking surface when the locking pawl or the actuating lever is acted upon.
- the desired blocking of the release lever or locking mechanism is given under all conceivable circumstances and is maintained, in particular, during the entire time during which the mentioned deceleration forces occur. That has proven itself.
- the WO2012 / 107023 discloses a motor vehicle door lock with a locking mechanism, an operating lever being able to trigger the locking mechanism and a locking lever being able to render the locking mechanism ineffective in the event of an accident. It's in the WO2012 / 107023 provided to store the locking lever centrally on its axis of rotation. Under normal conditions, the operating lever would pivot clockwise and, interacting with a release lever, cause the lock to open. While the actuating lever is pivoted clockwise, the locking lever is also taken along in a clockwise direction via a spring molded onto the actuating lever.
- the procedure is such that the locking lever is assigned a locking means which fixes the locking lever in its deflected position.
- the locking lever only moves into this deflected position when the motor vehicle door lock is exposed to acceleration forces or deceleration forces of a predetermined magnitude and direction, for example those that are observed in an accident.
- the locking lever is mechanically deflected and ensures that the at least one actuating lever or the entire actuating lever system is mechanically ineffective or is set ineffective.
- the locking lever performs a relative movement in normal operation when the actuating lever mechanism or the actuating lever is acted upon, so that overall the mobility of the locking lever is ensured and corrosion, sticking, etc. do not have to be feared. That has proven itself.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of developing such a motor vehicle door lock in such a way that unintentional opening of the locking mechanism can be reliably ruled out, specifically also and in particular during a crash process.
- the previously explained “bouncing” of the actuating lever with respect to the locking lever should be avoided.
- a generic motor vehicle door lock within the scope of the invention is characterized in that the locking lever is mounted eccentrically on the or its axis and thereby, depending on the decelerating forces that occur, a locking lever that blocks the actuating lever, compared to a rotary movement of the actuating lever that opens Senses designed counter-torque generated.
- the locking lever has for this purpose a center of gravity located above or below its axis, which, depending on the deceleration forces occurring (and their direction), generates the counter-torque blocking the actuating lever on the locking lever.
- the eccentric arrangement of the center of gravity in comparison to the axis for the locking lever ensures that a torque is generated around the axis when the deceleration forces occur on the locking lever.
- this torque is designed as a counter-torque in comparison to a rotary movement of the actuating lever (in the opening sense or in the event of a "crash").
- the direction of the counter-torque on the locking lever and that of the actuating lever in the event of a crash are therefore directed in opposite directions.
- the locking lever is typically equipped with a stop against which the actuating lever moves in the event of a crash and is thereby blocked. Since the locking lever also has the counter-torque in question in relation to its axis due to the applied deceleration forces, this counter-torque acts against the direction of the actuating lever, which it in Crashes. This counteracts the previously mentioned “bouncing" of the actuating lever. Because as soon as the actuating lever leaves its position on the stop of the locking lever during a crash due to such a bouncing process, the counter-torque acting on the locking lever ensures that the locking lever can, as it were, follow the actuating lever that briefly lifts off the stop.
- the center of gravity is arranged in an axial extension above or below the axis of the locking lever.
- the invention favors an arrangement of the center of gravity in the axial direction above the axis of the locking lever, although this is generally not mandatory. Because it is primarily a matter of generating the counter-torque described in the event of a crash through the eccentric mounting of the locking lever. Such a counter-torque is always conceivable and representable when the center of gravity of the locking lever - as implemented within the scope of the invention - does not coincide with the axis of the locking lever about which it is pivotably mounted. That is the essence of the eccentric bearing pursued according to the invention.
- the locking lever has a connected spring.
- This spring is usually designed as a leg spring and is connected to the locking lever with one leg.
- the other leg, or in general the spring, is acted upon by the actuating lever during normal operation, specifically to deflect the locking lever.
- the invention ensures that the locking lever in Normal operation, that is, if no increased deceleration forces associated with a crash are observed, is moved along with every deflection of the actuating lever. This procedure ensures that any corrosion of the locking lever in relation to its bearing pin defining the axis is reliably counteracted.
- the locking lever typically has a guide recess for a guide arm engaging therein on the actuating lever.
- the guide arm can be equipped with a pin which acts on the spring and which for this purpose mostly passes through the guide recess.
- the locking lever Only in the event of a crash or when the (increased) deceleration forces of a given magnitude occur, the locking lever is not taken along, but rather hairs up in its rest position due to the acting inertia forces.
- the actuating lever pivoted on the other hand compresses the spring until it reaches the stop on the locking lever and is blocked. This means that the operating lever can (no longer) open the lock.
- the locking lever is a rectangular lever which is mounted eccentrically on the axis.
- the rectangular lever can optionally Spatially extended and consequently designed with side walls in order to provide a protected receiving space below the rectangular lever for the spring on the one hand and the pin interacting with the spring on the guide arm on the other.
- the described shift in the center of gravity is generally implemented in that the locking lever is equipped with an extension in the axial extension in the direction of the locking mechanism. This moves the center of gravity into a position in an axial extension above the axis of the locking lever.
- this is only to be understood as an example and not mandatory.
- the actuating lever is typically a release lever for a locking pawl as part of the locking mechanism.
- the locking mechanism is made up of a rotary latch and the aforementioned pawl, which, when the locking mechanism is closed, engages in a main notch of the rotary latch.
- the actuating lever or release lever for opening the locking mechanism engages behind a stop on the locking pawl so that it is pivoted away from the rotary latch.
- the rotary latch can open with the assistance of a spring and release a locking bolt that was previously caught.
- the locking lever now ensures that the actuation lever or release lever is blocked and the locking pawl cannot lift off the rotary latch.
- a stop in the housing can be assigned to the locking lever. This stop regularly ensures that the locking lever is blocked in an opposite direction in the event of deceleration forces. Such deceleration forces in the opposite direction can occur, for example, when a side impact occurs on the other side of the vehicle compared to the side under consideration.
- the stop is arranged overall so that the Lock lever can easily perform the described pivoting movements about the axis in normal operation.
- a motor vehicle door lock is made available which is characterized by particular functional reliability.
- the invention ensures that the "bouncing" between the actuating lever or release lever and the locking lever, which may occur in the event of a crash, is controlled or does not lead to unintentional opening of the locking mechanism during an accident.
- the locking lever is mounted eccentrically on its axis.
- the locking lever generates a counter-torque which blocks the actuating lever and which, as described, absorbs any bouncing processes. This is where the main advantages can be seen.
- a motor vehicle door lock which, as usual, is equipped with a locking mechanism 1, 2, 3.
- the locking mechanism 1, 2, 3 is composed of a rotary latch 1 and, in the exemplary embodiment, two pawls 2, 3.
- the locking link 3 takes on the actual locking function, whereas the pawl 2 is designed as a so-called comfort pawl.
- this is not important in the present case, so that details associated with this special embodiment are not explained in more detail.
- actuating lever or release lever 4 and the locking pawl 2, 3 or their comfort pawl 2 are mounted coaxially in a lock case 5.
- a bearing mandrel 6 is provided which defines the common axis mentioned.
- the operating lever or trigger lever 4 is shown in the illustration according to the Figures 1A and 1B pivoted clockwise about the bearing mandrel 6 or the axis defined thereby. You can tell when you transition from the Figures 1A, 1B to Fig. 2 .
- the pawl 2, 3 is lifted off the rotary latch 1.
- the comfort pawl 2 also performs a clockwise movement about the axis 6 common to the release lever 4.
- the pawl 3 is pivoted counterclockwise about its axis 7, so that overall the pawl 2, 3 releases the rotary latch 1, as in the transition of the Figures 1A, 1B to Fig. 2 becomes clear. Normal operation corresponds to this.
- the axis 9 is defined by an associated bearing pin for the locking lever 8.
- the locking lever 8 ensures that the locking mechanism 2, 3 is rendered ineffective at least when deceleration forces F of a predetermined magnitude and direction occur, for example in the event of an accident ("crash").
- the deceleration forces F in question are in Fig. 3 indicated by a corresponding arrow and correspond to the fact that the illustrated and designed as a side door lock motor vehicle door lock is exposed to a side impact on the associated side door. Such a side impact and the associated deceleration forces F predominantly act on the motor vehicle in the Y or transverse direction.
- the locking lever 8 is mounted eccentrically on its axis 9.
- the locking lever 8 generates a counter-torque M blocking the actuating lever or release lever 4 as a function of the delay forces F occurring, which is shown schematically in FIG Fig. 3 is shown.
- This counter-torque M acts on the locking lever 8 in a clockwise direction with respect to its axis 9.
- the actuating lever or release lever 4 also executes a clockwise movement about its axis 6, as in FIG Fig. 3 is indicated by corresponding arrows.
- movements in the opposite direction such as the Fig. 3 makes clear.
- the stop 12 or locking lever 8 can follow the actuating lever 4 as a result of the counter-torque M generated in the event of a crash.
- the "bouncing" discussed in the introduction does not occur. Rather, the invention ensures that, in the event of a crash, the actuating lever 4 rests permanently on the stop 12 of the locking lever 8 and is blocked in this way.
- the locking lever 8 has a center of gravity S arranged above its axis 9 in the context of the exemplary embodiment Figure 1A on.
- the center of gravity S is located in an axial extension above the axis 9 of the locking lever 8 in question.
- a different arrangement of the center of gravity S for example below the axis 9, is of course also conceivable. However, this is not shown.
- the locking lever 8 is equipped with a connected spring 13, 14.
- the spring 13, 14 is not restrictively a leg spring with two legs 13, 14.
- One leg 13 of the spring 13, 14 is fixed on the locking lever 8, whereas on the other leg 14 of the spring 13, 14 the Actuating lever 4 is applied.
- the actuating lever 4 has a guide arm 15 which engages in a guide recess 16 on the locking lever 8 with a pin (not expressly shown). As a result, the pin can interact with the leg 14 of the spring 13, 14.
- the locking lever 8 is designed as a rectangular lever with side walls 17 mounted eccentrically on the axis 9. That is, the locking lever 8 has a spatial extent. The edge of the rectangular lever or locking lever 8 protruding downward in the direction of the lock case 5 Side walls 17 thereby define a receiving space for the spring 13, 14 arranged therein.
- the pin of the actuating lever 4 connected to the guide arm 15 protrudes through the guide recess 16 into this receiving space. As a result, the pin in question can interact with the leg 14 of the spring 13, 14, as will be explained in more detail below.
- the spring 13, 14 in question is acted upon by the actuating lever 4 in normal operation to deflect the locking lever 8.
- the Fig. 2 this normal operation, which is associated with the fact that the release lever 4 is pivoted clockwise about its axis 6 and, as a result, the arm 15 on the actuating lever 4 acts on the leg 14 of the spring 13, 14 via the pin. Since the other leg 13 of the spring 13, 14 is firmly connected to the locking lever 8, the locking lever 8 is pivoted about its axis 9 during this process. This happens with each scheduled opening process of the locking mechanism 1, 2, 3 in normal operation, so that the locking lever 8 is pivoted about its axis 9 with each opening process. This reliably prevents any caking, corrosion, etc. of the locking lever 8.
- the locking lever 8 remains in its position after the Figure 1A .
- the actuating lever or release lever 4 is, however, pivoted clockwise about its axis 6 by the acting deceleration forces F, as is the case Fig. 3 indicates.
- the pivoting movement of the actuating lever or release lever 4 is stopped as soon as the actuating lever 4 moves against the stop 12 of the locking lever 8 which is at rest.
- a previously completed (minor) pivoting movement of the release lever 4 about its axis 6 also leads to the fact that the leg 14 of the spring 13, 14 is pivoted slightly, that is to say the spring 13, 14 is compressed, specifically by the actuating lever 4.
- the locking lever 8 In order to realize the described eccentric mounting of the locking lever 8 in detail and to ensure that the associated center of gravity S is arranged in an axial extension of the axis 9 above the relevant axis 9 of the locking lever 8, the locking lever 8 typically has an extension 18, which is in particular in the Fig. 3 recognizes. This extension 18 shifts the mass distribution of the locking lever 8 in the direction of areas above the axis 9, so that the center of gravity S assumes the specified position above the axis 9 as a result.
- a stop 19, which may be formed on the lock case 5, is indicated and only schematically.
- the stop 19 in or on the lock case 5 or a housing is assigned to the locking lever 8.
- the stop 19 ensures that the locking lever 8 when decelerating forces F compared to Fig. 3 direction shown is blocked in the opposite sense.
- Such delay forces F occur in the example shown when the side door associated with the illustrated motor vehicle door lock is not exposed to a side impact, but rather the opposite side door.
- the stop 19 is arranged and aligned in such a way that pivoting movements of the locking lever 8 during normal operation as shown in FIG Fig. 2 are not hindered and only the locking lever 8 is a blockage in the mentioned deceleration forces F in the opposite direction compared to the illustration Fig. 3 learns.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss, mit einem Gesperre, ferner mit wenigstens einem Betätigungshebel zum Auslösen des Gesperres, und mit einem um eine Achse verschwenkbaren Sperrhebel, welcher das Gesperre zumindest bei auftretenden Verzögerungskräften vorgegebener Größe und Richtung, beispielsweise bei einem Unfall ("Crashfall"), unwirksam setzt.The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock, with a locking mechanism, furthermore with at least one actuating lever for triggering the locking mechanism, and with a locking lever which can be pivoted about an axis and which, at least when decelerating forces of a predetermined magnitude and direction occur, , ineffective.
Wie üblich setzt sich das Gesperre typischerweise aus einer Drehfalle und einer Sperrklinke zusammen. Bei in Verbindung mit einem Unfall auftretenden Verzögerungskräften vorgegebener Größe und Richtung besteht grundsätzlich die Gefahr, dass das Gesperre unbeabsichtigt geöffnet wird, weil die Verzögerungskräfte den Betätigungshebel zum Auslösen des Gesperres beaufschlagen. Solche unbeabsichtigten Öffnungen insbesondere bei einem Unfall verhindert der Sperrhebel, welcher bei den fraglichen Verzögerungskräften vorgegebener Größe und Richtung das Gesperre unwirksam setzt. Die angesprochenen Verzögerungskräfte bzw. zugehörige Fahrzeugbeschleunigungen wirken zumeist in Quer-(das heißt in Y-)Richtung des Kraftfahrzeuges und treten hauptsächlich bei einem Seitenaufprall auf.As usual, the locking mechanism typically consists of a rotary latch and a pawl. In the case of deceleration forces of predetermined magnitude and direction occurring in connection with an accident, there is a fundamental risk that the locking mechanism will be opened unintentionally because the delaying forces act on the actuating lever to trigger the locking mechanism. Such unintentional openings, especially in the event of an accident, are prevented by the locking lever, which makes the locking mechanism ineffective in the case of the deceleration forces in question of a predetermined size and direction. The mentioned deceleration forces or associated vehicle accelerations mostly act in the transverse (that is to say in the Y) direction of the motor vehicle and mainly occur in the event of a side impact.

In der Praxis kann beim Rückgriff auf derartige Sperrhebel und im Crashfall das Phänomen auftreten, dass der Betätigungshebel zum sogenannten "Prellen" neigt. Das heißt, der Betätigungshebel wird während des Unfallherganges von dem Sperrhebel zunächst blockiert und prallt dann an dem Sperrhebel ab bzw. entfernt sich geringfügig von dem Sperrhebel, um sich danach durch die unverändert anliegenden Verzögerungskräfte wieder an den Sperrhebel anzulegen. Dadurch kann es unter Umständen dennoch zu einem ungewollten Öffnen während eines Crashvorganges kommen. Das will man unbedingt vermeiden, damit das Gesperre und folglich die Kraftfahrzeugtür geschlossen bleiben und die typischerweise in einer Seitentür vorhandenen Sicherheitseinrichtungen ihre volle Wirkung entfalten können. Hier setzt die Erfindung ein.In practice, when resorting to such locking levers and in the event of a crash, the phenomenon can arise that the actuating lever tends to "bounce". That is, the actuating lever is initially blocked by the locking lever during the course of the accident and then bounces off the locking lever or moves slightly away from the locking lever in order to then rest against the locking lever due to the unchanged deceleration forces. Under certain circumstances, this can nevertheless lead to unwanted opening during a crash process. You absolutely want to avoid this so that the locking mechanism and consequently the motor vehicle door remain closed and the safety devices typically present in a side door can develop their full effect. This is where the invention comes in.
Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, einen derartigen Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss so weiterzuentwickeln, dass eine unbeabsichtigte Öffnung des Gesperres zuverlässig ausgeschlossen werden kann, und zwar auch und insbesondere während eines Crashvorganges. Im Einzelnen soll insbesondere das zuvor erläuterte "Prellen" des Betätigungshebels gegenüber dem Sperrhebel vermieden werden.The invention is based on the technical problem of developing such a motor vehicle door lock in such a way that unintentional opening of the locking mechanism can be reliably ruled out, specifically also and in particular during a crash process. In particular, the previously explained “bouncing” of the actuating lever with respect to the locking lever should be avoided.
Zur Lösung dieser technischen Problemstellung ist ein gattungsgemäßer Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss im Rahmen der Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Sperrhebel exzentrisch auf der bzw. seiner Achse gelagert ist und dadurch in Abhängigkeit von den auftretenden Verzögerungskräften ein den Betätigungshebel blockierendes, im Vergleich zu einer Drehbewegung des Betätigungshebels in öffnendem Sinne ausgelegtes Gegenmoment erzeugt.To solve this technical problem, a generic motor vehicle door lock within the scope of the invention is characterized in that the locking lever is mounted eccentrically on the or its axis and thereby, depending on the decelerating forces that occur, a locking lever that blocks the actuating lever, compared to a rotary movement of the actuating lever that opens Senses designed counter-torque generated.
Nach vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung weist der Sperrhebel hierzu einen oberhalb oder unterhalb seiner Achse befindlichen Schwerpunkt auf, welcher in Abhängigkeit von den auftretenden Verzögerungskräften (und deren Richtung) das den Betätigungshebel blockierende Gegenmoment am Sperrhebel erzeugt. Die exzentrische Anordnung des Schwerpunktes im Vergleich zur Achse für den Sperrhebel sorgt dafür, dass bei den auftretenden Verzögerungskräften an dem Sperrhebel ein Drehmoment um die Achse erzeugt wird. Dieses Drehmoment ist insgesamt als Gegenmoment im Vergleich zu einer Drehbewegung des Betätigungshebels (in öffnendem Sinne bzw. im "Crashfall") ausgelegt. Die Richtung des Gegenmomentes am Sperrhebel und diejenige des Betätigungshebels im Crashfall sind also entgegengesetzt gerichtet.According to an advantageous embodiment, the locking lever has for this purpose a center of gravity located above or below its axis, which, depending on the deceleration forces occurring (and their direction), generates the counter-torque blocking the actuating lever on the locking lever. The eccentric arrangement of the center of gravity in comparison to the axis for the locking lever ensures that a torque is generated around the axis when the deceleration forces occur on the locking lever. Overall, this torque is designed as a counter-torque in comparison to a rotary movement of the actuating lever (in the opening sense or in the event of a "crash"). The direction of the counter-torque on the locking lever and that of the actuating lever in the event of a crash are therefore directed in opposite directions.
Das heißt, der Sperrhebel ist typischerweise mit einem Anschlag ausgerüstet, gegen welchen der Betätigungshebel im Crashfall fährt und hierdurch blockiert wird. Da der Sperrhebel zusätzlich durch die angreifenden Verzögerungskräfte das fragliche Gegenmoment in Bezug auf seine Achse aufweist, wirkt dieses Gegenmoment entgegen der Richtung des Betätigungshebels, welche dieser im Crashfall vollführt. Dadurch wird dem zuvor bereits angesprochenen "Prellen" des Betätigungshebels entgegengewirkt. Denn sobald der Betätigungshebel durch einen solchen Prellvorgang seine Position am Anschlag des Sperrhebels während des Crashfalls verlässt, sorgt das am Sperrhebel angreifende Gegenmoment dafür, dass der Sperrhebel dem sich kurzfristig von dem Anschlag abhebenden Betätigungshebel gleichsam folgen kann.That is, the locking lever is typically equipped with a stop against which the actuating lever moves in the event of a crash and is thereby blocked. Since the locking lever also has the counter-torque in question in relation to its axis due to the applied deceleration forces, this counter-torque acts against the direction of the actuating lever, which it in Crashes. This counteracts the previously mentioned "bouncing" of the actuating lever. Because as soon as the actuating lever leaves its position on the stop of the locking lever during a crash due to such a bouncing process, the counter-torque acting on the locking lever ensures that the locking lever can, as it were, follow the actuating lever that briefly lifts off the stop.
Dadurch wird dem beschriebenen "Prellen" entgegengewirkt. Als Folge hiervon liegt der Betätigungshebel durchgängig am Sperrhebel bzw. dem Anschlag an, so dass unbeabsichtigte Öffnungen des Gesperres während des gesamten Crashvorganges - auch bei einem "Prellen" des Betätigungshebels - zuverlässig ausgeschlossen werden können. Hierin sind die wesentliche Vorteile zu sehen.This counteracts the "bouncing" described. As a result of this, the actuating lever rests continuously on the locking lever or the stop so that unintentional opening of the locking mechanism during the entire crash process - even if the actuating lever "bounces" - can be reliably excluded. This is where the main advantages can be seen.
Nach weiter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung hat es sich bewährt, wenn der Schwerpunkt in axialer Verlängerung oberhalb oder unterhalb der Achse des Sperrhebels angeordnet ist. Im Allgemeinen favorisiert die Erfindung eine Anordnung des Schwerpunktes in axialer Richtung oberhalb der Achse des Sperrhebels, wenngleich dies generell nicht zwingend ist. Denn es kommt ja primär darauf an, durch die exzentrische Lagerung des Sperrhebels das beschriebene Gegenmoment im Crashfall zu erzeugen. Ein solches Gegenmoment ist immer dann denkbar und darstellbar, wenn der Schwerpunkt des Sperrhebels - wie im Rahmen der Erfindung realisiert - nicht mit der Achse des Sperrhebels zusammenfällt, um welche dieser schwenkbar gelagert ist. Das ist das Wesen der erfindungsgemäß verfolgten exzentrischen Lagerung.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it has proven useful if the center of gravity is arranged in an axial extension above or below the axis of the locking lever. In general, the invention favors an arrangement of the center of gravity in the axial direction above the axis of the locking lever, although this is generally not mandatory. Because it is primarily a matter of generating the counter-torque described in the event of a crash through the eccentric mounting of the locking lever. Such a counter-torque is always conceivable and representable when the center of gravity of the locking lever - as implemented within the scope of the invention - does not coincide with the axis of the locking lever about which it is pivotably mounted. That is the essence of the eccentric bearing pursued according to the invention.
Nach weiterer vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung mit besonderer Bedeutung weist der Sperrhebel eine angeschlossene Feder auf. Diese Feder ist regelmäßig als Schenkelfeder ausgebildet und mit einem Schenkel an den Sperrhebel angeschlossen. Der andere Schenkel bzw. allgemein die Feder wird im Normalbetrieb von dem Betätigungshebel beaufschlagt, und zwar zur Auslenkung des Sperrhebels. Dadurch stellt die Erfindung sicher, dass der Sperrhebel im Normalbetrieb, das heißt wenn keine mit einem Crashfall verbundenen erhöhten Verzögerungskräfte beobachtet werden, bei jeder Auslenkung des Betätigungshebels mitbewegt wird. Diese Vorgehensweise stellt sicher, dass etwaigen Korrosionen des Sperrhebels in Bezug auf seinen die Achse definierenden Lagerdorn zuverlässig entgegengewirkt wird. Kommt es dagegen zum Crashfall, so wird die fragliche Feder komprimiert, weil der Sperrhebel praktisch seine Position aufgrund der angreifenden Trägheitskräfte beibehält und der Betätigungshebel um seine Achse verschwenkt wird, bis er den Anschlag am Sperrhebel erreicht und eine Blockade erfährt. Die Blockade des Betätigungshebels stellt sicher, dass das Gesperre nicht unbeabsichtigt geöffnet wird.According to a further advantageous embodiment of particular importance, the locking lever has a connected spring. This spring is usually designed as a leg spring and is connected to the locking lever with one leg. The other leg, or in general the spring, is acted upon by the actuating lever during normal operation, specifically to deflect the locking lever. As a result, the invention ensures that the locking lever in Normal operation, that is, if no increased deceleration forces associated with a crash are observed, is moved along with every deflection of the actuating lever. This procedure ensures that any corrosion of the locking lever in relation to its bearing pin defining the axis is reliably counteracted. If, on the other hand, a crash occurs, the spring in question is compressed because the locking lever practically maintains its position due to the acting inertial forces and the actuating lever is pivoted about its axis until it reaches the stop on the locking lever and is blocked. The blocking of the operating lever ensures that the lock is not opened unintentionally.
Darüber hinaus verfügt der Sperrhebel typischerweise über eine Führungsausnehmung für einen hierin eingreifenden Führungsarm am Betätigungshebel. Der Führungsarm kann mit einem die Feder beaufschlagenden Zapfen ausgerüstet sein, welcher hierzu meistens die Führungsausnehmung durchgreift. Durch diese Auslegung wird sichergestellt, dass der Sperrhebel im Normalbetrieb den hiermit verbundenen Schwenkbewegungen des Betätigungshebels um seine Achse zuverlässig folgt und auch folgen kann. Tatsächlich korrespondiert eine solche Schwenkbewegung des Betätigungshebels dazu, dass der in die Führungsausnehmung eingreifende Führungsarm bzw. dessen Zapfen die Feder beaufschlagt und als Folge hiervon der verschwenkte Betätigungshebel den Sperrhebel wir gewünscht mitnimmt. Nur im Crashfall bzw. bei den auftretenden (erhöhten) Verzögerungskräften vorgegebener Größe wird der Sperrhebel nicht mitgenommen, sondern verhaart aufgrund der angreifenden Trägheitskräfte praktisch in seiner Ruhelage. Der demgegenüber verschwenkte Betätigungshebel komprimiert die Feder, bis er den Anschlag am Sperrhebel erreicht und blockiert wird. Dadurch kann der Betätigungshebel das Gesperre (nicht mehr) öffnen.In addition, the locking lever typically has a guide recess for a guide arm engaging therein on the actuating lever. The guide arm can be equipped with a pin which acts on the spring and which for this purpose mostly passes through the guide recess. This design ensures that the locking lever reliably follows and can also follow the associated pivoting movements of the actuating lever about its axis in normal operation. In fact, such a pivoting movement of the actuating lever corresponds to the fact that the guide arm engaging in the guide recess or its pin acts on the spring and, as a result, the pivoted actuating lever takes the locking lever with it as desired. Only in the event of a crash or when the (increased) deceleration forces of a given magnitude occur, the locking lever is not taken along, but rather hairs up in its rest position due to the acting inertia forces. The actuating lever pivoted on the other hand compresses the spring until it reaches the stop on the locking lever and is blocked. This means that the operating lever can (no longer) open the lock.
Im Detail handelt es sich bei dem Sperrhebel um einen Rechteckhebel, der exzentrisch auf der Achse gelagert ist. Der Rechteckhebel kann gegebenenfalls räumlich ausgedehnt und folglich mit Seitenwänden ausgebildet sein, um auf diese Weise unterhalb des Rechteckhebels einen geschützten Aufnahmeraum für einerseits die Feder und andererseits den mit der Feder wechselwirkenden Zapfen am Führungsarm zur Verfügung zu stellen.In detail, the locking lever is a rectangular lever which is mounted eccentrically on the axis. The rectangular lever can optionally Spatially extended and consequently designed with side walls in order to provide a protected receiving space below the rectangular lever for the spring on the one hand and the pin interacting with the spring on the guide arm on the other.
Die beschriebene Schwerpunktverlagerung typischerweise in axialer Verlängerung der Achse oberhalb oder unterhalb besagter Achse wird im Regelfall dadurch umgesetzt, dass der Sperrhebel in axialer Verlängerung in Richtung auf das Gesperre mit einem Fortsatz ausgerüstet ist. Dadurch rückt der Schwerpunkt in eine Position in axialer Verlängerung oberhalb der Achse des Sperrhebels. Das ist selbstverständlich nur beispielhaft und nicht zwingend zu verstehen.The described shift in the center of gravity, typically in an axial extension of the axis above or below said axis, is generally implemented in that the locking lever is equipped with an extension in the axial extension in the direction of the locking mechanism. This moves the center of gravity into a position in an axial extension above the axis of the locking lever. Of course, this is only to be understood as an example and not mandatory.
Bei dem Betätigungshebel handelt es sich typischerweise um einen Auslösehebel für eine Sperrklinke als Bestandteil des Gesperres. Wie üblich setzt sich das Gesperre aus einer Drehfalle und der bereits angesprochenen Sperrklinke zusammen, die in geschlossenem Zustand des Gesperres in eine Hauptrast der Drehfalle einfällt. Im Normalbetrieb hintergreift der Betätigungshebel bzw. Auslösehebel zum Öffnen des Gesperres einen Anschlag an der Sperrklinke, so dass diese von der Drehfalle weggeschwenkt wird. Als Folge hiervon kann die Drehfalle federunterstützt öffnen und einen zuvor gefangenen Schließbolzen freigeben. Im Crashfall sorgt nun der Sperrhebel dafür, dass der Betätigungshebel bzw. Auslösehebel blockiert wird und die Sperrklinke nicht von der Drehfalle abheben kann.The actuating lever is typically a release lever for a locking pawl as part of the locking mechanism. As usual, the locking mechanism is made up of a rotary latch and the aforementioned pawl, which, when the locking mechanism is closed, engages in a main notch of the rotary latch. In normal operation, the actuating lever or release lever for opening the locking mechanism engages behind a stop on the locking pawl so that it is pivoted away from the rotary latch. As a result, the rotary latch can open with the assistance of a spring and release a locking bolt that was previously caught. In the event of a crash, the locking lever now ensures that the actuation lever or release lever is blocked and the locking pawl cannot lift off the rotary latch.
Schlussendlich kann dem Sperrhebel noch ein Anschlag im Gehäuse zugeordnet werden. Dieser Anschlag sorgt regelmäßig dafür, dass der Sperrhebel bei Verzögerungskräften in einer entgegengesetzten Richtung blockiert wird. Solche Verzögerungskräfte in entgegengesetzter Richtung können beispielsweise dann auftreten, wenn ein Seitenaufprall an der anderen im Vergleich zur betrachteten Fahrzeugseite erfolgt. Dabei ist der Anschlag insgesamt so angeordnet, dass der Sperrhebel die beschriebenen Schwenkbewegungen um die Achse im Normalbetrieb problemlos vollführen kann.Finally, a stop in the housing can be assigned to the locking lever. This stop regularly ensures that the locking lever is blocked in an opposite direction in the event of deceleration forces. Such deceleration forces in the opposite direction can occur, for example, when a side impact occurs on the other side of the vehicle compared to the side under consideration. The stop is arranged overall so that the Lock lever can easily perform the described pivoting movements about the axis in normal operation.
Im Ergebnis wird ein Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss zur Verfügung gestellt, welcher sich durch besondere Funktionssicherheit auszeichnet. Tatsächlich gewährleistet die Erfindung, dass das im Crashfall unter Umständen auftretende "Prellen" zwischen dem Betätigungshebel bzw. Auslösehebel und dem Sperrhebel beherrscht wird bzw. nicht zu unbeabsichtigten Öffnungen des Gesperres während eines Unfallherganges führt. Das lässt sich im Wesentlichen darauf zurückführen, dass erfindungsgemäß der Sperrhebel exzentrisch auf seiner Achse gelagert ist. Dadurch erzeugt der Sperrhebel im Crashfall ein den Betätigungshebel blockierendes Gegenmoment, welches wie beschrieben etwaige Prellvorgänge auffängt. Hierin sind die wesentlichen Vorteile zu sehen.As a result, a motor vehicle door lock is made available which is characterized by particular functional reliability. In fact, the invention ensures that the "bouncing" between the actuating lever or release lever and the locking lever, which may occur in the event of a crash, is controlled or does not lead to unintentional opening of the locking mechanism during an accident. This can essentially be attributed to the fact that, according to the invention, the locking lever is mounted eccentrically on its axis. As a result, in the event of a crash, the locking lever generates a counter-torque which blocks the actuating lever and which, as described, absorbs any bouncing processes. This is where the main advantages can be seen.

In den Figuren ist ein Kraftfahrzeugtürverschluss dargestellt, der wie üblich mit einem Gesperre 1, 2, 3 ausgerüstet ist. Das Gesperre 1, 2, 3 setzt sich aus einer Drehfalle 1 sowie im Ausführungsbeispiel zwei Sperrklinken 2, 3 zusammen. Dabei übernimmt die Sperrlinke 3 die eigentliche sperrende Funktion, wohingegen die Sperrklinke 2 als sogenannte Komfortklinke ausgelegt ist. Hierauf kommt es vorliegend jedoch nicht an, so dass mit dieser speziellen Ausgestaltung verbundene Details nicht näher erläutert werden.In the figures, a motor vehicle door lock is shown which, as usual, is equipped with a

Man erkennt, dass der Betätigungshebel bzw. Auslösehebel 4 und die Sperrklinke 2, 3 bzw. deren Komfortklinke 2 gleichachsig in einem Schlosskasten 5 gelagert sind. Zu diesem Zweck ist ein Lagerdorn 6 vorgesehen, welcher die angesprochene gemeinsame Achse definiert.It can be seen that the actuating lever or

Zum weiteren grundsätzlichen Aufbau des dargestellten Kraftfahrzeugtürschlusses gehört wesentlich noch ein Sperrhebel 8, welcher um eine Achse 9 im Schlosskasten 5 drehbar gelagert ist. Die Achse 9 wird von einem zugehörigen Lagerdorn für den Sperrhebel 8 definiert. Der Sperrhebel 8 sorgt dafür, dass das Gesperre 2, 3 zumindest bei auftretenden Verzögerungskräften F vorgegebener Größe und Richtung, beispielsweise bei einem Unfall ("Crashfall"), unwirksam gesetzt wird. Die fraglichen Verzögerungskräfte F sind in der
Im Rahmen der Erfindung ist der Sperrhebel 8 exzentrisch auf seiner Achse 9 gelagert. Dadurch erzeugt der Sperrhebel 8 in Abhängigkeit von den auftretenden Verzögerungskräften F ein den Betätigungshebel bzw. Auslösehebel 4 blockierendes Gegenmoment M, welches schematisch in der
Sobald also der Betätigungshebel 4 im Zuge der einleitend bereits angesprochenen "Prellbewegung" einen Anschlag 12 am Sperrhebel 8 verlässt oder zu verlassen droht, kann der Anschlag 12 bzw. der Sperrhebel 8 in Folge des im Crashfall erzeugten Gegenmomentes M dem Betätigungshebel 4 gleichsam folgen. Es kommt also nicht zu dem einleitend bereits diskutierten "Prellen". Vielmehr stellt die Erfindung sicher, dass sich der Betätigungshebel 4 im Crashfall an den Anschlag 12 des Sperrhebels 8 dauerhaft anlegt und auf diese Weise blockiert wird.As soon as the
Da der Sperrhebel 8 bei einem Unfall bzw. den auftretenden Verzögerungskräften F vorgegebener Größe und Richtung seine Position aufgrund der ihm innewohnenden Trägheit beibehält, kann der Betätigungshebel bzw. Auslösehebel 4 in diesem Fall das Gesperre 1, 2, 3 nicht öffnen.Since the locking
Um dies im Detail zu erreichen, verfügt der Sperrhebel 8 über einen im Rahmen des Ausführungsbeispiels oberhalb seiner Achse 9 angeordneten Schwerpunkt S. Das deutet die
Die
Man erkennt, dass der Sperrhebel 8 als exzentrisch auf der Achse 9 gelagerter Rechteckhebel mit Seitenwänden 17 ausgebildet ist. Das heißt, der Sperrhebel 8 verfügt über eine räumliche Ausdehnung. Die randseitig des Rechteckhebels bzw. Sperrhebels 8 nach unten in Richtung auf den Schlosskasten 5 abstehenden Seitenwände 17 definieren dadurch einen Aufnahmeraum für die hierin angeordnete Feder 13, 14. Außerdem ragt in diesen Aufnahmeraum der an den Führungsarm 15 angeschlossene Zapfen des Betätigungshebels 4 durch die Führungsausnehmung 16 hinein. Dadurch kann der fragliche Zapfen mit dem Schenkel 14 der Feder 13, 14 wechselwirken, wie nachfolgend noch näher erläutert wird.It can be seen that the locking
Tatsächlich wird die fragliche Feder 13, 14 im Normalbetrieb von dem Betätigungshebel 4 zur Auslenkung des Sperrhebels 8 beaufschlagt. Das erkennt man bei einem Vergleich der
