Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an actuating handle for opening and / or closing of a door or a flap of a motor vehicle.
  • actuating handles usually comprise gripping elements, which are designed to be movable between a starting position and an actuating position.
  • actuating handles for opening and / or closing motor vehicle doors are frequently equipped with safety devices in order to prevent an independent opening of the actuating handle or the motor vehicle door in the event of an accident.
  • the publication GB1343267 discloses a door handle assembly for a motor vehicle in which both a rotational and a translational movement are necessary to transfer a door handle from a first locking state to a second unlocking state.
  • a disadvantage of the known prior art is that the mechanical components of the safety device are quasi permanently engaged with each other. This has the consequence that the safety device is exposed to both moisture and temperature influences. As a consequence, manufacturing tolerances must be kept, since the safety device is exposed to corrosion. This can lead to disruptions of the safety device and thus to the loss of accident safety.
  • an actuating handle for opening and / or closing of a door or a flap of a motor vehicle is provided with a handle element which is designed to open and / or close a door or a flap between a locking position and an actuating position movable, with a blocking element, which is designed to be movable between a release position and a locking position, wherein the blocking element in the release position enables a transfer of the grip element in the actuation position and blocked in the locking position transferring the grip member, wherein the actuating handle has an aperture member which is so in operative connection with the blocking element in that the blocking element can be transferred from the locking position into the release position by actuation of the panel element and thus makes it possible to actuate the grip element.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that the actuating handle is always secured by the blocking element.
  • the actuating handle is constantly in the locking position and thus prevents unintentional opening of the door - for example in the event of an accident.
  • the opening of the door or the flap of the motor vehicle or the actuation of the grip element thus requires that the blocking element is made from the locking position to the release position.
  • the panel element is pivotally connected to the handle element.
  • the locking member is transferred from the locking position to the release position and a user does not necessarily feel like a mechanical locking device to unlock.
  • the blocking element is formed in the locking position without contact with the diaphragm element. This also makes it possible that the required manufacturing tolerances in the production of the actuating handle for a reduction in manufacturing costs. In other words, reduced scales are applicable to the precision of manufacture, since the contactless design of the blocking element with the diaphragm element in the locking position allows for increased clearance. This prevents in any case, that snagging or even a Blocking the locking element, the actuation of the actuating handle for opening and / or closing of a door or a flap of a motor vehicle difficult.
  • the actuating handle has a pivoting lever, which is in operative connection with the diaphragm element and the grip element in order to transfer the grip element from the locking position to the actuation position by actuating the diaphragm element.
  • a pivot lever Without the pivot lever, a user or an operator of the actuating handle would first have to transfer the blocking element from the locking position to the release position by actuation of the diaphragm element, in order then to bring the grip element from the locking position into the actuated position.
  • the pivot lever both the locking element and the handle element are actuated simultaneously or in one operation.
  • the actuating handle In order to decouple the actuation of the pivot lever by the diaphragm element against excessive or diagonal pulling an operator, the actuating handle on a first bearing, which supports the pivot lever on a support of a door or a flap of a motor vehicle. As a result, the stability and quality of the actuating handle is additionally increased.
  • the actuating handle has a drive which is designed to transfer the blocking element from the locking position to the release position. This also makes it possible, for example, to transfer the blocking element exclusively by means of the drive from the release position into the locking position. This is particularly useful in conjunction with an ID transmitter, which when approaching a motor vehicle or by remote control transfers the blocking element from the locking position to the release position.
  • the drive can also be designed to transfer the blocking element from the release position into the locking position.
  • the drive is designed to transfer the grip element from the locking position to the actuation position.
  • This has for example the technical advantage that in addition to a transfer of the locking element of the Arret istsposition in the release position in addition, the grip element can be converted by the drive from the locking position to the operating position.
  • the drive can also be designed to transfer the grip element from the release position into the locking position.
  • the actuating handle has a traction means, in particular a Bowden cable, to the handle member from the locking position to the operating position and the locking lever from the locking position to the release position convict.
  • a traction means in particular a Bowden cable
  • the grip element on a backdrop In order to enable a particularly simple but effective power transmission, the grip element on a backdrop.
  • the drive can be delayed first realize the transfer of the locking element from the locking position to the operating position. Subsequently, the handle element can then be transferred from the locking position to the operating position.
  • the delay is realized in that the power transmission takes place on the locking element directly to the Bowden cable, while the power is transmitted to the handle element only when a connecting element of the Bowden cable has reached the end of the link of the handle element and this in the connection of the locking position in transferred the operating position.
  • This can be operated with only one drive, both the locking element and the handle element.
  • the power transmission to locking element and handle element but also occur at the same time.
  • the blocking element is designed as a pivotally mounted locking lever.
  • the actuating handle may have a second bearing, which supports the blocking element on a carrier of a door or a flap of a motor vehicle. This wins the Actuating handle in addition to stability and can compensate, for example, a too strong or an oblique pulling an operator.
  • the blocking element comprises a blocking contour, which is designed to engage the gripping element during actuation of the gripping element in the arresting position and to release the gripping element in the release position.
  • the blocking contour allows a contactless design of the blocking element with the diaphragm element in the locking position. This allows the required manufacturing tolerances in the production of the actuating handle to result in a reduction of the manufacturing costs. In addition, snagging or even blocking of the blocking element is prevented.
  • the gripping element between the locking position and the actuating position is designed to be pivotable.
  • the actuating handle has a guide device.
  • the actuating handle on a lock cylinder which is arranged completely covered by the panel member.
  • This has, for example, the technical advantage that the lock cylinder is protected below the aperture element from external influences such as moisture or dirt. If, in this case, for example in the case of an empty battery, no automatic opening of the door or flap of the motor vehicle is possible, then an operator can first manually actuate the diaphragm element in order then to gain access to the lock cylinder with a key.
  • the actuation handle has a first spring element in order to resiliently support the grip element.
  • This also has the technical advantage that the handle element can be transferred by a restoring force from the operating position to the locking position.
  • the diaphragm element In this case, the actuating handle on a second spring element to the diaphragm member opposite store the handle element resiliently. Consequently, the diaphragm member is transferred by a restoring force from the operating position to the locking position.
