Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle door handle assembly with a lock cylinder for actuating a door lock by means of a key, wherein the lock cylinder is fixed in its installed position by means of a relative to the lock cylinder from a preassembly position in a mounting position displaceable securing element, wherein the securing element by means of at least one in a thread in the securing element engaging operating screw is moved from the pre-assembly to the mounting position.
  • Such motor vehicle door handle assemblies for door actuation of a motor vehicle are known.
  • a disadvantage of the known motor vehicle door handle assemblies with such a securing element for fixing the lock cylinder is that this is supported in the mounting position on a support surface of the motor vehicle door handle assembly and it can come in the support area to a high surface pressure. This surface pressure between the securing element and the bearing surface on the motor vehicle door handle assembly can lead to damage in particular in a later replacement and reinstallation of a lock cylinder.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages and to provide a motor vehicle door handle, are reliably avoided in the damage even when replacing and reinstalling a lock cylinder.
  • the motor vehicle door handle assembly with a lock cylinder for actuating a door lock by means of a key
  • the lock cylinder is fixed in its installed position by means of a relative to the lock cylinder from a pre-assembly into a mounting position displaceable securing element, wherein the securing element by means of at least one in a thread in the securing element engaging operating screw is moved from the pre-assembly to the mounting position
  • the securing element has at least one stop lug on which the actuating screw in the mounting position abuts axially in its screwing.
  • the direction of movement in the direction of the axis of the actuating screw when screwing the actuating screw into the thread in the securing element is meant by the screwing-in direction of the actuating screw.
  • This means that the direction in the axial direction of the screw is referred to with respect to the securing element with the screwing of the actuating screw, regardless of the question of whether the actuating screw and / or the securing element displaces relative to the rest of the motor vehicle door handle assembly.
  • preassembly position denotes a position of the securing element and of the actuating screw, in which the insertion of the wearing cylinder into its installation position provided for this purpose is possible.
  • a position of the securing element and the actuating screw is designated, in which the lock cylinder is secured by the displaced in the mounting position fuse element in its installed position.
  • the securing element may be formed by a slide, which can be pushed back and forth between the pre-assembly position and the assembly position by an actuation of the actuating screw.
  • the preassembly position of the slide thus corresponds to a release position.
  • the mounting position of the slider with respect to the locking cylinder to be fixed corresponds to the locking position.
  • the release position of the lock cylinder can be inserted into the space provided for this purpose and removed from the installation space.
  • the locking position of the lock cylinder is preferably fixed by the slide positively in its installed position
  • the actuating screw is supported in the pre-assembly and / or during its actuation and / or in the mounting position in the direction of the securing element on a support surface of a support of the motor vehicle door handle assembly.
  • the stop lug of the securing element is designed such that in the mounting position, a contact between the actuating screw and the stop lug on the securing element occurs without a surface pressure between the securing element and the carrier of the motor vehicle door handle assembly occurs.
  • the stop lug can thus be dimensioned such that not only too high surface pressure between the securing element and a support of the motor vehicle door handle assembly is avoided, but the stop lug can also be dimensioned in a preferred embodiment such that it is only in the mounting position to a contact between the Stop lug of the fuse element and the actuating screw comes without any contact between the fuse element and a support of the motor vehicle door handle assembly comes about. Accordingly, no such surface pressure can arise without such a contact.
  • the securing element is formed by a particular U-shaped bracket which engages around the lock cylinder and secures in the mounting position in the axial direction of the lock cylinder.
  • This bracket can be open U-shaped or closed. It is particularly advantageous if the bracket surrounds the lock cylinder on two sides and thereby secures and fixes it in the mounting position.
  • the securing element is moved at an angle of 45 ° to 90 ° relative to the axis of the lock cylinder from the pre-assembly position to the mounting position.
  • the lock cylinder is in the installed position a form-fitting in a cylinder housing in the motor vehicle door handle assembly.
  • the securing element surrounds the lock cylinder in the mounting position in a form-fitting manner and secures the lock cylinder in the assembly position, in particular in the axial direction of the lock cylinder.
  • the actuating screw is supported axially in the direction away from the securing element on a second bearing surface of a carrier of the motor vehicle door handle arrangement.
  • This second stop surface on a support in the unscrewing of the actuating screw allows unscrewing the actuating screw up to this second stop, the further unscrewing the actuating screw from the thread in the securing element then due to the concern of the actuating screw on the second stop the displacement of the securing element from the mounting position brought back to the pre-assembly position to remove the lock cylinder and replace.
  • a replacement of the lock cylinder is thus facilitated, since the securing element can be moved back from its mounting position back to its pre-assembly, in which the lock cylinder is not blocked by the securing element. In the mounting position of the lock cylinder is blocked as explained by the securing element.
  • the term of the unscrewing of the actuating screw while the axial direction of movement of the actuating screw is designated relative to the securing element in a unscrewing the actuating screw from the thread in the fuse element.
  • the motor vehicle door handle assembly may further comprise a handle disposed in a handle housing and displaceable from a rest position to an actuated position by rotation about an axis of rotation, a handle hook disposed at the back of the handle at the free end being kinematically coupled to a bell crank, wherein Relay lever during the displacement of the rest position in the operating position acts directly or indirectly on a motor vehicle door lock to effect a release of the lock and to allow an opening of the vehicle door.
  • the motor vehicle door handle assembly may comprise a handle housing in which the lock cylinder in a corresponding receptacle and further the securing element and the actuating screw are arranged, which serves for the displacement of the securing element from the pre-assembly into the mounting position.
  • This handle housing may itself have the first and / or the second stop on which the actuating screw rests depending on the direction of rotation.
  • the handle housing can thus form a carrier.
  • a carrier may be arranged as a separate component, which has the first and / or the second stop.
  • Fig.1 shows an enlarged detail of a perspective view of a motor vehicle door handle assembly with the carrier 1 of the motor vehicle door handle assembly.
  • the fuse element 2 and the actuating screw 3 already inserted into the carrier 1.
