Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schließeinrichtung für eine Tür, insbesondere eines Kraftfahrzeugs, mit einer Drehfalle, die eine Aussparung zur Aufnahme eines Schließbolzens aufweist, mit einem verschwenkbaren Sperrhebel, der in einer Sperrstellung die Drehfalle an einer Drehbewegung zum Freigeben des Schließbolzens formschlüssig hindert und in eine die Drehfalle freigebende Freigabestellung verschwenkbar ist, wobei die Drehfalle in einem Nassraum angeordnet und durch eine Welle drehfest mit einem in einem Trockenraum angeordneten Rastelement verbunden ist, wobei der Sperrhebel in dem Trockenraum angeordnet mit dem Rastelement zum Sperren und Freigeben der Drehfalle zusammenwirkt.The invention relates to a locking device for a door, in particular of a motor vehicle, with a rotary latch having a recess for receiving a locking bolt, with a pivotable locking lever which positively prevents the rotary latch in a blocking position to a rotational movement for releasing the locking bolt and in a Rotary latch releasing release position is pivotable, wherein the catch is arranged in a wet room and rotatably connected by a shaft connected to a arranged in a drying chamber locking element, wherein the locking lever arranged in the drying room cooperates with the locking element for locking and releasing the rotary latch.

Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Türanordnung für ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere Kraftfahrzeug, mit einer an einem Türrahmen verschwenkbar gelagerten Tür, der die oben beschriebene Schließeinrichtung zugeordnet ist.Furthermore, the invention relates to a door assembly for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, with a pivotally mounted on a door frame door, which is associated with the locking device described above.

Schließeinrichtungen und Türanordnungen sind aus dem Stand der Technik bereits bekannt. So ist es üblich, Türen eines Kraftfahrzeugs jeweils eine Schließeinrichtung zuzuordnen, welche die Tür im geschlossenen Zustand arretiert und beispielsweise auch gegen ein unbefugtes Öffnen sichert. So offenbart beispielsweise die Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2005 002 493 A1 eine gattungsgemäße Schließeinrichtung mit einer Drehfalle, die mit einem Schließbolzen zusammenwirkt, um diesen zu halten oder freizugeben. Der Drehfalle ist außerdem ein Sperrhebel zugeordnet, welcher mechanisch beziehungsweise formschlüssig ein Verschwenken der Drehfalle zum Freigeben des Schließbolzens in einer Sperrstellung verhindert und in einer Freigabestellung erlaubt. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass die Drehfalle mit einem Rastelement drehfest verbunden ist, sodass die Sperrfalle in einem Nassraum und das Rastelement in einem davon getrennten Trockenraum geschützt vor äußeren Einflüssen liegt. In diesem Trockenraum ist auch der Sperrhebel angeordnet, der mit dem Rastelement zusammenwirkt, um die Drehfalle zu sperren oder freizugeben. Die Drehfalle ist dabei durch eine Welle mit dem Rastelement drehfest verbunden.Locking devices and door arrangements are already known from the prior art. Thus, it is customary to assign doors of a motor vehicle in each case a locking device which locks the door in the closed state and, for example, also protects against unauthorized opening. For example, the published patent application DE 10 2005 002 493 A1 a generic locking device with a rotary latch, which cooperates with a locking pin to hold or release this. The catch is also associated with a locking lever, which mechanically or positively prevents pivoting of the catch to release the striker in a blocking position and allowed in a release position. It is provided that the rotary latch is rotatably connected to a locking element, so that the locking latch in a wet room and the locking element in a separate drying room protected from external influences. In this drying space and the locking lever is arranged, which cooperates with the locking element to lock or unlock the catch. The catch is rotatably connected by a shaft with the locking element.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine verbesserte Schließeinrichtung zu schaffen, die eine hohe Lebensdauer gewährleistet und unbefugte Manipulationsversuche verhindert.The invention has for its object to provide an improved closing device, which ensures a long life and prevents unauthorized manipulation attempts.

Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch eine Schließeinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Diese hat den Vorteil, dass zum einen die Schließeinrichtung nicht ohne Weiteres demontiert und insofern manipuliert werden kann, und dass zum anderen ein sicherer Betrieb der Schließeinrichtung auch mit hoher Lebensdauer noch gewährleistet ist. Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass die Welle, die das Rastelement mit der Drehfalle verbindet, als Hohlwelle ausgebildet ist und auf einem sich über die Hohlwelle axial beidseits hinaus erstreckenden Lagerzapfen angeordnet ist, der an seinen Enden durch plastische Verformung der Enden axial formschlüssig an einer Tragstruktur gehalten ist. Die Enden des Lagerzapfens sind also plastisch verformt, insbesondere genietet, sodass sie die Tragstruktur axial hintergreifen, wodurch ein Entfernen des Lagerzapfens und damit der Hohlwelle nur sehr schwer möglich ist. Darüber hinaus sichert die formschlüssige Arretierung einen dauerhaft sicheren Betrieb der Schließeinrichtung.The object underlying the invention is achieved by a locking device having the features of claim 1. This has the advantage that on the one hand, the locking device can not be readily dismantled and thus manipulated, and that on the other hand, a safe operation of the locking device is still guaranteed with a long life. According to the invention this is achieved in that the shaft which connects the latching element with the rotary latch, is designed as a hollow shaft and is arranged on a hollow shaft on both sides extending axially on both sides bearing journal, which at its ends by plastic deformation of the ends axially positive fit on a Support structure is held. The ends of the journal are thus plastically deformed, in particular riveted so that they engage behind the support structure axially, whereby removal of the journal and thus the hollow shaft is very difficult. In addition, the positive locking secures a permanently safe operation of the locking device.

Weiterhin ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Tragstruktur von Gehäuseteilen der Schließeinrichtung und/oder der Tür gebildet ist. So weist die Schließeinrichtung gemäß einer Ausführungsform ein eigenes Gehäuse auf, wobei der Lagerzapfen in voneinander beanstandet angeordneten Gehäuseteilen des Gehäuses beziehungsweise Tragstruktur an seinen Enden gelagert ist, die Gehäuseteile also durchgreift, sodass die Hohlwelle mit der Drehfalle und dem Rastelement zwischen den beiden Gehäuseteilen liegen. Vorteilhafterweise werden die Gehäuseteile von der Tür selbst gebildet, sodass auf ein zusätzliches Gehäuse für die Schließeinrichtung verzichtet werden kann.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the support structure of housing parts of the closing device and / or the door is formed. Thus, according to one embodiment, the locking device has its own housing, wherein the bearing journal is mounted in spaced apart arranged housing parts of the housing or support structure at its ends, so engages through the housing parts, so that the hollow shaft lie with the catch and the locking element between the two housing parts. Advantageously, the housing parts are formed by the door itself, so that it is possible to dispense with an additional housing for the locking device.

Weiterhin ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Hohlwelle drehbar auf dem Lagerzapfen angeordnet ist. Dadurch kann der Lagerzapfen selbst drehfest in der Tragstruktur gelagert sein, wodurch insbesondere die durch plastische Verformung erzielte axial formschlüssige Halterung des Lagerzapfens an der Tragstruktur mit größeren Toleranzen versehen sein kann. Der Lagerzapfen dient somit als Drehlagerzapfen für die darauf verdrehbar angeordnete Hohlwelle.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the hollow shaft is rotatably mounted on the bearing journal. As a result, the journal itself can be mounted non-rotatably in the support structure, whereby in particular the achieved by plastic deformation axially positive retention of the journal on the support structure can be provided with greater tolerances. The bearing pin thus serves as a pivot bearing pin for rotatably mounted thereon hollow shaft.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Hohlwelle einendig mit der Drehfalle und anderendig mit dem Rastelement jeweils eine drehfeste Verbindung aufweist. Die Drehfalle und das Rastelement sind somit an den Enden der Hohlwelle auf der Hohlwelle angeordnet und jeweils drehfest mit dieser verbunden, sodass eine auf die Drehfalle eingeleitete Kraft direkt auf das Rastelement und andersherum übertragen wird. Hierdurch wird eine steife und belastbare Verbindung geboten.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the hollow shaft has a rotationally fixed connection at one end to the rotary latch and at the other end to the latching element. The catch and the locking element are thus arranged at the ends of the hollow shaft on the hollow shaft and each rotatably connected thereto, so that a on the catch introduced force is transmitted directly to the locking element and vice versa. This provides a stiff and resilient connection.

Weiterhin ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass wenigstens eine der drehfesten Verbindungen eine Formschlussverbindung ist. Hierdurch wird eine besonders sichere Verbindung gewährleistet, die auch das Übertragen hoher Kräfte gewährleistet.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that at least one of the rotationally fixed connections is a positive connection. As a result, a particularly secure connection is ensured, which ensures the transmission of high forces.

Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, dass der Formschluss jeweils durch ein Drehmitnahmeprofil der Hohlwelle und ein damit korrespondierendes Drehmitnahmeprofil des Rastelements beziehungsweise der Drehfalle gebildet ist. Die Drehmitnahmeprofile können beispielsweise als Polygonprofile, also als Querschnittsprofile, die eine von einem Kreis abweichende Form aufweisen, gebildet sein. Besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass die Hohlwelle an ihren Enden jeweils eine das jeweilige Drehmitnahmeprofil bildende Außenverzahnung aufweist, die mit einer entsprechenden das jeweilige damit korrespondierende Drehmitnahmeprofil des Rastelements oder der Drehfalle bildende Innenverzahnung zusammenwirkt beziehungsweise in Eingriff steht. Hierdurch wird eine sichere Kraftübertragung gewährleistet. Insbesondere wird verhindert, dass die Drehfalle zum Freigeben des Schließbolzens verdreht werden kann, wenn das Rastelement durch den Sperrhebel an einer solchen Drehung gehindert wird.In particular, it is provided that the form-fit is formed in each case by a rotary driving profile of the hollow shaft and a corresponding rotational driving profile of the locking element or the rotary latch. The rotary driving profiles can be formed, for example, as polygonal profiles, that is to say as cross-sectional profiles which have a shape deviating from a circle. It is particularly preferably provided that the hollow shaft has at its ends in each case one external toothing forming the respective rotary driving profile, which cooperates or engages with a corresponding internal toothing forming the respective rotational driving profile of the detent element or the rotary latch. As a result, a secure power transmission is ensured. In particular, it is prevented that the catch for releasing the locking bolt can be rotated when the locking element is prevented by the locking lever at such a rotation.

Weiterhin ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Hohlwelle durch eine den Trockenraum von dem Nassraum trennende Zwischenwand radial dichtend hindurchgeführt ist. Die Zwischenwand trennt somit Trockenraum von Nassraum und weist für die Hohlwelle eine Öffnung auf, die insbesondere einen derartigen Innendurchmesser aufweist, dass die Hohlwelle radial dicht an der Zwischenwand anliegt, um Nassraum von Trockenraum sicher zu trennen. Die Zwischenwand ist insbesondere ebenfalls Bestandteil des zuvor beschriebenen Gehäuses.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the hollow shaft is guided radially sealingly by a partition separating the drying space from the wet space. The intermediate wall thus separates the drying space from the wet space and has an opening for the hollow shaft which in particular has such an inner diameter that the hollow shaft rests radially tight against the intermediate wall in order to safely separate wet space from the drying space. The partition is in particular also part of the housing described above.

Zur Verbesserung der Dichtheit ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass zwischen der Hohlwelle und der Zwischenwand ein Dichtelement, insbesondere O-Ring angeordnet ist. Hierdurch wird auf einfache Art und Weise die Dichtheit beziehungsweise die Trennung zwischen Nassraum und Trockenwand optimiert.To improve the tightness is preferably provided that between the hollow shaft and the intermediate wall, a sealing element, in particular O-ring is arranged. As a result, the tightness or the separation between wet room and drywall is optimized in a simple manner.

Weiterhin ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Hohlwelle wenigstens einen Radialvorsprung aufweist, der einen Axialanschlag für die Drehfalle oder für das Rastelement bildet. Durch den Radialvorsprung wird somit die Anordnung der Drehfalle und/oder des Rastelements auf der Hohlwelle auf einfache Art und Weise gewährleistet. Alternativ ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass der Radialvorsprung von dem Lagerzapfen gebildet wird, wobei der Radialvorsprung in dem Fall dann radial über die Hohlwelle hinaus ragt, um den Axialanschlag für die Drehfalle oder das Rastelement zu bilden. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass sowohl die Hohlwelle als auch der Lagerzapfen jeweils einen Radialvorsprung aufweisen, wobei der eine Radialvorsprung als Axialanschlag für die Drehfalle und der andere Radialvorsprung als Axialanschlag für das Rastelement ausgebildet beziehungsweise angeordnet ist. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine sichere axiale Lagerung beider Elemente mit einer gleichzeitig weiterhin einfach durchführbaren Montage. Die Radialvorsprünge sind dabei derart angeordnet, dass der Lagerzapfen in die Hohlwelle einschiebbar ist beziehungsweise eingeschoben wird, wobei sich die Radialvorsprünge an gegenüberliegenden Enden von Lagerzapfen und Hohlwelle befinden.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the hollow shaft has at least one radial projection which forms an axial stop for the rotary latch or for the latching element. The radial projection thus ensures the arrangement of the rotary latch and / or the latching element on the hollow shaft in a simple manner. Alternatively, it is preferably provided that the radial projection is formed by the bearing pin, wherein the radial projection in the case then projects radially beyond the hollow shaft to form the axial stop for the catch or the locking element. According to a further embodiment, it is provided that both the hollow shaft and the bearing journal each have a radial projection, wherein the one radial projection designed as an axial stop for the rotary latch and the other radial projection as an axial stop for the locking element or arranged. This results in a secure axial bearing of both elements with a still easy to carry out at the same time. The radial projections are arranged such that the bearing pin is inserted into the hollow shaft or is inserted, wherein the radial projections are located at opposite ends of bearing pin and hollow shaft.

Es ergeben sich hierdurch die bereits genannten Vorteile.The door assembly according to the invention with the features of claim 10 is characterized by the locking device according to the invention.

Die Lagerung wird dabei durch eine Welle gewährleistet, die als Hohlwelle 9 ausgebildet ist, und an einem Ende die Drehfalle 6 und an einem anderen Ende oder zumindest beabstandet zu der Drehfalle 6 ein Rastelement 10 trägt. Das Rastelement 10 und die Drehfalle 6 sind jeweils drehfest mit der Hohlwelle 9 verbunden. Dies wird durch ineinandergreifende Drehmitnahmeprofile 11, 12 gewährleistet, die jeweils eine an der Hohlwelle 9 ausgebildete Außenverzahnung 11' beziehungsweise 12' sowie eine an der Drehfalle 6 ausgebildete Innenverzahnung 11" beziehungsweise an dem Rastelement 10 ausgebildete Innenverzahnung 12" gebildet werden. Die Innenverzahnung 11', 12' steht jeweils in Eingriff mit der Außenverzahnung 11", 12" sodass eine formschlüssige Drehmitnahme zwischen der Drehfalle 6 und der Hohlwelle 9 sowie zwischen dem Rastelement 10 und der Hohlwelle 9 gewährleistet ist. Insbesondere sind die Drehmitnahmeprofile 11, 12 derart ausgebildet, dass eine spielfreie oder zumindest im Wesentlichen spielfreie Drehmitnahme gewährleistet ist.The storage is ensured by a shaft which is formed as a hollow shaft 9, and at one end of the rotary latch 6 and at another end or at least spaced from the rotary latch 6 carries a locking element 10. The locking element 10 and the rotary latch 6 are each rotatably connected to the hollow shaft 9. This is ensured by intermeshing rotary driving profiles 11, 12, each formed on the hollow shaft 9 an outer toothing 11 'and 12' and formed on the rotary latch 6 internal teeth 11 "or formed on the locking element 10 internal teeth 12". The internal toothing 11 ', 12' is respectively in engagement with the external toothing 11 ", 12" so that a positive rotational drive between the rotary latch 6 and the hollow shaft 9 and between the locking element 10 and the hollow shaft 9 is ensured. In particular, the rotary driving profiles 11, 12 are designed such that a backlash-free or at least substantially free of play rotational drive is ensured.

Die Hohlwelle 9 erstreckt sich dabei durch eine Zwischenwand 13 eines Gehäuses 14 der Schließeinrichtung. Vorliegend wird das Gehäuse 14 durch Gehäuseteile der Fahrzugtür 2 beziehungsweise durch Verkleidungsteile gebildet. Die Zwischenwand 13 weist eine Öffnung 15 auf, durch welche die Hohlwelle 9 geführt ist, wobei der Außendurchmesser der Hohlwelle 9 im Bereich der Öffnung 15 im Wesentlichen dem Innendurchmesser der Öffnung 15 entspricht, sodass die Hohlwelle radial dicht oder zumindest im Wesentlichen dicht in der Öffnung 15 verdrehbar gelagert ist.The hollow shaft 9 extends through an intermediate wall 13 of a housing 14 of the locking device. In the present case, the housing 14 is formed by housing parts of the vehicle door 2 or by covering parts. The intermediate wall 13 has an opening 15 through which the hollow shaft 9 is guided, wherein the outer diameter of the hollow shaft 9 in the region of the opening 15 substantially corresponds to the inner diameter of the opening 15, so that the hollow shaft radially sealed or at least substantially sealed in the opening 15 is rotatably mounted.

Weil die Drehfalle 6 mit dem Schließbolzen 4 in Wirkverbindung bringbar sein muss, liegt die Drehfalle 6 in einem Nassraum 16, also einen nach außen geöffneten Raum des Gehäuses 14, in welchen der Schließbolzen 4 von außen eindringen kann.Because the catch 6 must be able to be brought into operative connection with the latch bolt 4, the catch 6 lies in a wet space 16, that is to say an open space of the housing 14 in which the latch bolt 4 can penetrate from the outside.

Das Rastelement 10 liegt dagegen auf der anderen Seite der Trennwand 13 in einem Trockenraum 17, der zumindest im Wesentlichen von der Umgebung durch Gehäuseteile des Gehäuses 14 abgeschottet ist, sodass Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit nicht zu dem Rastelement 10 gelangen.On the other hand, the latching element 10 lies on the other side of the partition wall 13 in a drying space 17, which is at least essentially sealed off from the environment by housing parts of the housing 14, so that dirt and moisture do not reach the latching element 10.

Wie in Figur 2 gezeigt, wirkt das Rastelement 10 mit einem Sperrhebel 18 zusammen, der um eine Hebelachse 19, die parallel zur Drehachse 8 ausgerichtet ist, verschwenkbar ist. Der Sperrhebel 18 wirkt an einem Ende 20 mit dem Rastelement 10 zusammen, wozu der Sperrhebel 20 eine Rastaufnahme 21 und das Rastelement 10 einen Rastvorsprung 22 aufweist. In dem in Figur 2 dargestellten Zustand, in welchen sich der Sperrhebel 18 in einer Sperrstellung befindet, liegt der Rastvorsprung 22 an einem Rand der Rastaufnahme 21 auf, sodass das Rastelement 10 mit dem Rastvorsprung 22 nicht gegen den Sperrhebel 18 verdrehbar ist, in Figur 2 also gegen den Uhrzeigersinn formschlüssig arretiert ist. In diese Richtung müsste das Rastelement 10 jedoch bewegt werden, damit die Drehfalle 6 den Schließbolzen 4 freigibt. Somit ist aufgrund der formschlüssigen Verbindung von Rastelement 10 und Drehfalle 6 gewährleistet, dass in der Sperrstellung des Sperrhebels 18 ein Freigeben des Schließbolzens 4 beziehungsweise ein Verdrehen der Sperrfalle 6 in eine Freigabestellung sicher verhindert ist. Erst dann, wenn der Sperrhebel 18 gegen den Uhrzeigersinn verdreht wird, wie durch einen Pfeil in Figur 2 gezeigt, wird die Verrastung des Rastelements 10 gelöst und der Schließbolzen kann durch Verdrehen der Drehfalle 6 freigegeben werden. Weil der Sperrhebel 18 und das Rastelement 10 in dem Trockenraum 17 angeordnet und dadurch vor Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit geschützt sind, bleiben die Kontaktflächen zwischen Sperrhebel 18 und Rastelement 10 dauerhaft sauber und können daher eine hohe Lebensdauer bei Auftreten hoher Kräfte erreichen.As in FIG. 2 shown, the locking element 10 cooperates with a locking lever 18 which is pivotable about a lever axis 19 which is aligned parallel to the axis of rotation 8. The locking lever 18 cooperates at one end 20 with the locking element 10, for which purpose the locking lever 20 has a latching receptacle 21 and the latching element 10 has a latching projection 22. In the in FIG. 2 shown state in which the locking lever 18 is in a blocking position, the locking projection 22 is located on an edge of the locking receptacle 21 so that the locking element 10 with the locking projection 22 is not rotated against the locking lever 18, in FIG. 2 thus locked in a form-fitting counterclockwise direction. In this direction, however, the locking element 10 would have to be moved so that the rotary latch 6 releases the locking pin 4. Thus, due to the positive connection of latching element 10 and rotary latch 6 ensures that in the locked position of the locking lever 18, a release of the locking bolt 4 or a rotation of the locking latch 6 is reliably prevented in a release position. Only when the locking lever 18 is rotated counterclockwise, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 2 shown, the locking of the locking element 10 is released and the locking pin can be released by turning the catch 6. Because the locking lever 18 and the locking element 10 are arranged in the drying room 17 and thereby protected from dirt and moisture, the contact surfaces between locking lever 18 and locking element 10 remain permanently clean and can therefore achieve a long service life when high forces occur.

Die Hohlwelle 9 wird durch einen Lagerzapfen 23 durchdrungen, wie insbesondere in Figur 1 gezeigt, auf welchem die Hohlwelle 9 insbesondere drehbar gelagert ist. Der Lagerzapfen 23 ist einendig an einem ersten Gehäuseteil 24 des Gehäuses 14 und anderendig an einem zweiten Gehäuseteil 25 des Gehäuses 14 gelagert. Dazu weisen die Gehäuseteile 24, 25 jeweils eine Aufnahmeöffnung 26 beziehungsweise 27 auf, durch welche der Lagerzapfen 23 hindurchragt. Der Lagerzapfen 23 erstreckt sich dabei axial über die Hohlwelle 9 hinaus, sodass er von der Hohlwelle 9 beidseitig axial vorsteht. Zur Arretierung des Lagerzapfens 23 ist vorgesehen, dass seine Enden plastisch verformt werden/wurden, um einen axialen Formschluss mit dem Gehäuseteil 24 beziehungsweise dem Gehäuseteil 25 zu erhalten, der ein axiales Herausziehen oder-schieben des Lagerzapfens 23 verhindert. Insbesondere ist vorgesehen, dass die Enden des Lagerzapfens 23 durch Vernieten an den Gehäuseteilen 24, 25 festgemacht ist. Weil der Außendurchmesser des Lagerzapfens im Bereich der Hohlwelle 9 zweckmäßigerweise zumindest im Wesentlichen im Innendurchmesser der Hohlwelle 9 entspricht, wird auch hier verhindert, dass Flüssigkeit oder Schmutz von dem Nassraum 16 in den Trockenraum 17 gelangen kann. Zur Steigerung der Dichtheit ist optional vorgesehen, dass zwischen der Hohlwelle 9 und der Zwischenwand 3 ein oder mehrere Dichtringe 29 angeordnet sind. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können auch einer oder mehrere Dichtringe zwischen dem Lagerzapfen 23 und der Hohlwelle 9 angeordnet sein. Insbesondere sind die Dichtringe als O-Ringe ausgebildet.The hollow shaft 9 is penetrated by a bearing pin 23, in particular in FIG. 1 shown, on which the hollow shaft 9 is rotatably mounted in particular. The bearing pin 23 is mounted at one end to a first housing part 24 of the housing 14 and the other end to a second housing part 25 of the housing 14. For this purpose, the housing parts 24, 25 each have a receiving opening 26 or 27, through which the bearing pin 23 protrudes. The bearing pin 23 extends axially beyond the hollow shaft 9, so that it projects axially from the hollow shaft 9 on both sides. To lock the bearing pin 23 is provided that its ends are plastically deformed / in order to obtain an axial positive engagement with the housing part 24 and the housing part 25, which prevents an axial pulling or pushing the bearing pin 23. In particular, it is provided that the ends of the bearing pin 23 is fastened by riveting to the housing parts 24, 25. Because the outer diameter of the bearing pin in the region of the hollow shaft 9 expediently corresponds at least substantially to the inner diameter of the hollow shaft 9, it is also prevented here that liquid or dirt can pass from the wet space 16 into the drying space 17. To increase the tightness is optionally provided that between the hollow shaft 9 and the intermediate wall 3, one or more sealing rings 29 are arranged are. Alternatively or additionally, one or more sealing rings between the bearing pin 23 and the hollow shaft 9 may be arranged. In particular, the sealing rings are designed as O-rings.

Der Lagerzapfen 23 weist weiterhin auf der Seite des Trockenraums 17 einen Radialvorsprung 30 auf, der sich über den gesamten Umfang des Lagerzapfens 23 erstreckt und somit einen Axialanschlag 31 für das Rastelement 10 bildet. Dazu erstreckt sich der Radialvorsprung radial über die Hohlwelle 9 hinaus.The bearing pin 23 further has on the side of the drying space 17 on a radial projection 30 which extends over the entire circumference of the bearing pin 23 and thus forms an axial stop 31 for the locking element 10. For this purpose, the radial projection extends radially beyond the hollow shaft 9 also.

Figur 3 zeigt die Schließeinrichtung 5 in einer vereinfachten perspektivischen Darstellung, wobei durch eine gestrichelte Linie 32 die Anordnung der Zwischenwand 13 angezeigt ist, die zwischen dem Rastelement 10 und der Drehfalle 6 liegt. In Figur 3 ist insbesondere die Außenverzahnung 12' und 11' der Hohlwelle 9 zu erkennen, die mit der jeweiligen Innenverzahnung 11" beziehungsweise 12" von Drehfalle 6 beziehungsweise Rastelement 10 zusammenwirken. In dem Bereich zwischen den Mitnahmeprofilen 11, 12 weist die Hohlwelle 9 einen kreisförmige Außenkontur auf, die eine vorteilhafte Drehlagerung in der Öffnung 15 des Gehäuses 14 erlaubt. Die vorteilhafte Schließeinrichtung beziehungsweise Türanordnung 1 führt zu den zuvor bereits erläuterten Vorteilen in Bezug auf die Belastbarkeit und Lebensdauer. FIG. 3 shows the locking device 5 in a simplified perspective view, wherein by a dashed line 32, the arrangement of the intermediate wall 13 is displayed, which lies between the locking element 10 and the rotary latch 6. In FIG. 3 In particular, the external teeth 12 'and 11' of the hollow shaft 9 can be seen, which cooperate with the respective internal toothing 11 "or 12" of the rotary latch 6 or latching element 10. In the region between the driving profiles 11, 12, the hollow shaft 9 has a circular outer contour, which allows an advantageous pivot bearing in the opening 15 of the housing 14. The advantageous locking device or door assembly 1 leads to the advantages already explained in terms of the load capacity and service life.
