Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a motor vehicle lock according to the preamble of claim 1, a motor vehicle lock arrangement according to claim 15 with such a motor vehicle lock and a closure element arrangement of a motor vehicle according to claim 16.
  • the motor vehicle lock in question finds application in all types of closure elements of a motor vehicle. These include, for example, side doors, in particular sliding doors, tailgates, trunk lids, hoods, load compartment floors o. The like. Of a motor vehicle.
  • the known motor vehicle lock ( EP 1 617 021 Bl ), from which the invention proceeds, is equipped with a lock latch and a pawl arrangement holding the latch in a main closing position and in a prelocking position. Furthermore, the motor vehicle lock on a Sch Strukturadosanaku, which ensures in the context of a Sch Strukturadosvorgangs means of a Sch Strukturakusantriebs that the latch case is adjustable by motor from the prelocking in the main closed position.
  • the auxiliary closing arrangement is used to implement the above-mentioned auxiliary closing operation, in which the motor vehicle door o. The like. From an intermediate position out motor is transferred to the fully closed position. This is realized in that, as indicated above, the lock latch is transferred via the auxiliary closing arrangement by motor from the prelocking position into the main closing position.
  • the auxiliary closing arrangement has a drive lever, on which in turn a closing auxiliary lever is pivotably articulated.
  • a thrust force is introduced into the lock latch in the closing direction on the auxiliary closing lever.
  • the invention is based on the problem to design the known motor vehicle lock in such a way and further that the design flexibility in the design is increased taking into account a limited available space.
  • Essential is the fundamental realization that can be achieved with a suitable position of the force introduction point on the drive lever with which the auxiliary closing drive is coupled, additional degrees of freedom in the design of the auxiliary closing arrangement.
  • the auxiliary closing lever axis is located between the force application point and the drive lever axis.
  • torque effective lever the driving force extends over the entire drive lever, so that there is already a large margin for the arrangement of the closing auxiliary lever on the drive lever, without the lack of thrust.
  • the closing auxiliary lever is preferably brought into direct engagement with the latch. It is also conceivable that this intervention via an intermediate element or a plurality of intermediate elements, that is provided indirectly.
  • the latch can be adjusted in the context of the auxiliary closing operation by means of the auxiliary closing drive from the prelocking in the main closed position.
  • a mechanically particularly robust embodiment results from the fact that the lock latch is held in accordance with claim 2 by means of a pawl arrangement in the respective closed position.
  • the further preferred embodiments according to claims 5 to 11 preferably relate to the design variants for the lever mechanism of the auxiliary closing arrangement.
  • the particularly preferred embodiment according to claim 7 allows by appropriate interpretation, an accurate adjustment of the transmission ratio between the driving force and the thrust force on the auxiliary closing process.
  • This course can be adjusted, for example, by the position of the auxiliary closing lever axis and the length of the auxiliary closing lever. Due to the comparatively large distance between the drive lever axis and the auxiliary closing lever axis, this adjustability is possible with high accuracy, without having to observe excessive manufacturing tolerances with regard to the drive lever and the closing auxiliary lever. This is because a displacement of the auxiliary closing lever axis on the driving lever causes a small change of the above gear ratio compared with an arrangement in which the distance between the driving lever axis and the auxiliary closing lever axis is particularly small.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment with regard to the utilization of the available installation space is proposed according to claim 11, in which an overlap between the drive lever and the lock latch is provided there. This makes it possible to reduce the width of the motor vehicle lock in a direction transverse to the drive lever axis.
  • a motor vehicle lock arrangement with a proposed motor vehicle lock in which a separately configured from the motor vehicle lock auxiliary closing drive is provided.
  • the motor vehicle lock in particular the drive lever, is correspondingly set up for the initiation of a drive force.

  • the proposed closure element arrangement has a closure element, which is articulated on the body of the motor vehicle.
  • a sealing arrangement is provided, which is compressed when closing the closure element from an intermediate position to the fully closed position.
  • the proposed closure element assembly is finally equipped with a proposed motor vehicle lock, which allows the implementation of an above-mentioned closing auxiliary operation.
  • the closing auxiliary process is accompanied accordingly by a compression of the seal assembly.
  • the basic structure of the proposed motor vehicle lock permits a precise adjustment of the course of the forces acting in the auxiliary closing arrangement. Accordingly, a certain course of the translation of the closing assistance arrangement between the driving force and the thrust force is proposed according to claim 17. Specifically, it is proposed that the design be such that there is little change in the driving force during the closing assist process. This allows a cost-effective design of the auxiliary closing drive, since this must provide only a limited driving force range.
  • the illustrated motor vehicle lock can be applied to almost all closure elements of a motor vehicle. In that regard, reference may be made to the introductory part of the description.
  • the motor vehicle lock 1 is part of a motor vehicle lock arrangement 2, which in turn is part of a closure element arrangement 3.

  • the pawl assembly 15 may include one or more pawls for retaining engagement with the latch 5.
  • the pawl assembly 15 is merely a pawl which is pivotable about a pawl axis 15a.
  • the closure element 4 When the closure element 4 is closed, the operator merely has to ensure that the closure element 4 reaches an intermediate position and in particular the latch 5 in a prelocking position, so that the further adjustment of the latch 5 in the main closing position can be done by motor means of the auxiliary closing drive 10, which in turn is accompanied by an adjustment of the closure element 4 in its fully closed position.
  • the auxiliary closing drive 10 is designed and arranged separately from the motor vehicle lock 1.
  • the drive technology coupling between the auxiliary closing drive 10 and the motor vehicle lock 1 takes place here and preferably via the above-mentioned Bowden cable 12.
