Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur mechanischen Verhinderung eines selbsttätigen Öffnens einer Fahrzeugtür im Falle der Einwirkung einer Barriere auf dieselbe nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 der Erfindung. Gemäß Anspruch 7 der Erfindung betrifft diese ferner ein Fahrzeug, insbesondere Kraftfahrzeug, mit einer derartigen Vorrichtung.The invention relates to a device for mechanically preventing an automatic opening of a vehicle door in the event of the action of a barrier on the same according to the preamble of claim 1 of the invention. According to claim 7 of the invention further relates to a vehicle, in particular motor vehicle, with such a device.

Aufgrund gesetzlicher und Consumertest-Anforderungen (z. B. EuroNCAP-MDB-2015, ECE-R95, Korea-NCAP) ist zu gewährleisten, dass sich im Falle eines Crashs, insbesondere Seitencrashs, eine Fahrzeugtür durch undefinierte bzw. ungewollte Betätigung des Außengriffs bzw. eines Kraftübertragungsmittels desselben, wie eines Bowdenzugs, nicht selbsttätig öffnet. Hierdurch wird verhindert, dass ein Insasse bei einem Unfall aus dem Fahrzeug geschleudert wird. Ursächlich ist für eine Außengriffbetätigung im beispielsweise besagten Seitencrash in den meisten Fällen eine Deformation des Türaußenbleches. Um diesem nachteiligen Umstand zu begegnen, ist es bekannt, durch Blechdoppler, Crashstreben oder Paddings das Türaußenblech zu stützen, welches jedoch mit erhöhten Kosten, Materialaufwand und Gewicht einhergeht. Aus der DE 10 2012 020 696 A1 ist ferner eine Vorrichtung zur mechanischen Verhinderung eines Öffnens einer Kraftfahrzeugtür bei einem Seitenaufprall mit einem sogenannten Krafteinleitungselement bekannt, welches Krafteinleitungselement im Falle des Eindringens einer Barriere in die Kraftfahrzeugtür, beispielsweise infolge eines Seitencrashs, derart auf einen mit einem Türaußengriff der Kraftfahrzeugtür wirkverbundenen Bowdenzughebel einwirkt, dass ein selbsttätiges Öffnen der Kraftfahrzeugtür verhindert ist. Ein derartiger Bowdenzughebel fungiert gelegentlich auch als Ausgleichsmasse für besagten Türaußengriff, so dass dieser nach Betätigung selbsttätig in seine Grundstellung zurückgeführt wird. Ausweislich der Angaben in der besagten Druckschrift stützt sich das Krafteinleitungselement z. B. an einem Türelement, wie einer Türverkleidung, einem Fenster oder einer Bordkante der Kraftfahrzeugtür ab. Aus der Praxis ist es jedoch bekannt, dass derartige Türelemente im Falle eines Seitencrashs nicht immer ihre ursprüngliche Position beibehalten und eine Verformung in die Fahrgastzelle hinein erfahren können, woraus ein undefinierter Versatz des besagten Krafteinleitungselements nach Fahrzeug-innen resultiert. Aufgrund dessen ist eine zuverlässige Funktion des besagten Krafteinleitungselements nicht gesichert. Hier setzt die nachfolgend beschriebene Erfindung an.Due to legal and consumer test requirements (eg EuroNCAP-MDB-2015, ECE-R95, Korea-NCAP), it must be ensured that in the event of a crash, in particular a side crash, a vehicle door is opened due to undefined or unintentional actuation of the outside handle resp ., A power transmission means of the same, such as a Bowden cable, does not open automatically. This prevents an occupant from being thrown out of the vehicle in the event of an accident. The reason for an external handle operation in the example, said side impact in most cases, a deformation of the door outer panel. To counter this disadvantageous circumstance, it is known to support the door outer panel by sheet metal Doppler, crash struts or Paddings, which, however, is associated with increased costs, material costs and weight. From the DE 10 2012 020 696 A1 Furthermore, a device for mechanically preventing an opening of a motor vehicle door in a side impact with a so-called force introduction element is known, which acts force introduction element in case of penetration of a barrier in the motor vehicle door, for example due to a side impact, on a operatively connected to an outside door handle of the motor vehicle door Bowden cable lever an automatic opening of the vehicle door is prevented. Such a Bowden cable lever occasionally acts as a balancing mass for said door outside handle, so that it is automatically returned to its normal position after actuation. As shown in the information in said document, the force application element z. B. on a door element, such as a door trim, a window or a curb of the vehicle door. In practice, however, it is known that such door elements in the event of a side crash not always maintain their original position and can experience a deformation in the passenger compartment, resulting in an undefined offset of said force introduction element to the vehicle interior. Due to this, a reliable function of said force introduction element is not ensured. This is where the invention described below begins.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine im Hinblick auf den Stand der Technik weiter verbesserte Vorrichtung zur mechanischen Verhinderung eines selbsttätigen Öffnens einer Fahrzeugtür im Falle der Einwirkung einer Barriere auf dieselbe zu schaffen, die bei Beibehaltung der Vorteile des Standes der Technik auf besonders einfache und vorteilhafte Weise eine zuverlässige Funktion der Vorrichtung gewährleistet. Ferner ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Fahrzeug mit einer derartigen Vorrichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen.The object of the invention is to provide a further improved with respect to the prior art device for mechanically preventing an automatic opening of a vehicle door in the event of the action of a barrier to the same, while maintaining the advantages of the prior art in a particularly simple and advantageous Way ensures reliable operation of the device. It is another object of the invention to provide a vehicle with such a device.

Ausgehend von einer Vorrichtung zur mechanischen Verhinderung eines selbsttätigen Öffnens einer Fahrzeugtür im Falle der Einwirkung einer Barriere auf dieselbe, mit einem an einem Türaußenteil festgelegten Lagerbügel für einen Türaußengriff, welcher Lagerbügel einen Türöffnungsmechanismus mit einer verstellbar am Lagerbügel gelagerten und mit dem Türaußengriff wirkverbundenen sowie von einer ersten Betriebsstellung in eine zweite Betriebsstellung und zurück überführbaren Ausgleichsmasse aufweist, wobei der Ausgleichsmasse ein Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement zugeordnet ist, vermittels dessen im Falle der Einwirkung besagter Barriere auf die Fahrzeugtür infolge einer Relativbewegung zwischen der Ausgleichsmasse und dem Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement aufeinander zu und Kontaktierung derselben untereinander eine Bewegung der Ausgleichsmasse von der ersten Betriebsstellung in die zweite Betriebsstellung verhinderbar, begrenzbar und/oder rückführbar ist, wird die gestellte Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass das Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement in der Bewegungsrichtung der Barriere gesehen gegen ein an der Fahrzeugtür befestigtes Türschlossgehäuse abgestützt ist.Starting from a device for mechanically preventing an automatic opening of a vehicle door in the event of a barrier to the same, with a fixed to a door outer part bearing bracket for an outside door handle, which bearing bracket a door opening mechanism with an adjustable mounted on the bearing bracket and operatively connected to the outside door handle and of a Having the first operating position in a second operating position and back convertible balancing mass, wherein the balancing mass is assigned a force introduction and blocking element, by means of which in the case of the action of said barrier to the vehicle door due to a relative movement between the balancing mass and the force introduction and blocking element towards each other and contacting the same with each other a movement of the balancing mass from the first operating position into the second operating position preventable, limitable and / or traceable, we This object is achieved by the fact that the force introduction and blocking element, viewed in the direction of movement of the barrier, is supported against a door lock housing fastened to the vehicle door.

Durch diese Maßnahme ist vorteilhaft gewährleistet, dass definiert und in kürzester Zeit das Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement und die Ausgleichsmasse bestimmungsgemäß in Wirkkontakt treten. D.h., die zu verzeichnende Relativbewegung zwischen denselben wird maximal ausgenutzt. Dadurch, dass das Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement in Bewegungsrichtung der Barriere gesehen sich unmittelbar am Türschloss abstützt, ist eine Eigenbewegung des Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelements wirkungsvoll verhindert. Das Türschlossgehäuse ist an einer Stirnwand des Türrohbaus angeordnet und befestigt sowie bei geschlossener Fahrzeugtür im Allgemeinen unter Vermittlung einer Drehfalle mit einem karosserieseitig angeordneten Schließbolzen oder Schließbügel formschlüssig verbunden. Aufgrund dessen behält das Türschlossgehäuse seine ursprüngliche Position weit besser bei, als andere, nach dem Stand der Technik favorisierte Türelemente.This measure advantageously ensures that defined and in the shortest possible time the force introduction and blocking element and the leveling compound come into operative contact as intended. That is, the relative movement to be recorded between them is maximally utilized. Due to the fact that the force introduction and blocking element, viewed in the direction of movement of the barrier, is supported directly on the door lock, proper movement of the force introduction and blocking element is effectively prevented. The door lock housing is arranged and fastened to an end wall of the door frame and, when the vehicle door is closed, is in general connected in a form-fitting manner, with the intermediary of a rotary latch, to a locking bolt or striker arranged on the body side. Because of this, the door lock housing maintains its original position far better than other door elements favored in the prior art.

Die Unteransprüche beschreiben bevorzugte Weiterbildungen oder Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.The subclaims describe preferred developments or refinements of the invention.

Danach ist vorgesehen, dass das Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement in der Bewegungsrichtung der Barriere gesehen zusätzlich gegen ein Rahmenteil und/oder ein Türinnenteil der Fahrzeugtür abgestützt ist. Hierdurch ist vorteilhaft die Abstützung des Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelements erweitert. Eine praxisnahe Ausführungsform des besagten Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelements ergibt sich durch einen druckfesten Formkörper. Der Formkörper kann dabei sowohl aus Kunststoff als auch aus Metall bestehen. Ein einfach und kostengünstig herzustellender Formkörper ergibt sich insbesondere durch einen Schaumkörper, welcher bei Gewährleistung der erforderlichen Funktionalität ein geringes Gewicht aufweist. In Fortbildung der Erfindung ist das Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement bevorzugt kraft- und/oder stoffschlüssig mit dem Türschlossgehäuse und/oder dem Rahmenteil und/oder dem Türinnenteil der Fahrzeugtür verbunden, woraus sich bei komfortabler Montage des Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelements ein sicherer Halt desselben an der Fahrzeugtür ergibt.Thereafter, it is provided that the force introduction and blocking element is seen in the direction of movement of the barrier additionally supported against a frame part and / or a door inner part of the vehicle door. This advantageously extends the support of the force introduction and blocking element. A practical embodiment of said force introduction and blocking element results from a pressure-resistant molded body. The molding can be made of plastic as well as metal. A simple and inexpensive to produce shaped body results in particular by a foam body, which has a low weight while ensuring the required functionality. In a further development of the invention, the force introduction and blocking element is preferably non-positively and / or materially connected to the door lock housing and / or the frame part and / or the door inner part of the vehicle door, resulting in a comfortable mounting of the force introduction and blocking element of the same at the Vehicle door yields.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Fahrzeug 1, vorliegend einen Personenkraftwagen, mit vorderen und hinteren seitlich angeordneten Fahrzeugtüren 2. Gemäß Fig. 2 sind die Fahrzeugtüren 2 im Wesentlichen durch ein Rahmenteil 3, ein Türaußenteil 4, auch als Türaußenblech bezeichnet, und ein Türinnenteil 5, auch als Türinnenblech bezeichnet, gebildet. Innerhalb der Fahrzeugtür 2 ist ferner eine Scheibe 6 gehaltert. Darüber hinaus weist die Fahrzeugtür 2 einen türinnenseitig am Türaußenteil 4 angeordneten Lagerbügel 7 für einen türaußenseitig am Türaußenteil 4 angeordneten Türaußengriff 8 auf. Am Lagerbügel 7 ist eine sogenannte Ausgleichsmasse 9 eines an sich bekannten Türöffnungsmechanismus schwenkbar gelagert. Die besagte Ausgleichsmasse 9 steht mit dem Türaußengriff 8 in Wirkverbindung und gleicht die Masse des Türaußengriffs 8 aus. Fig. 1 shows a vehicle 1, in this case a passenger car, with front and rear laterally disposed vehicle doors 2. According to Fig. 2 The vehicle doors 2 are essentially formed by a frame part 3, a door outer part 4, also referred to as an outer door panel, and a door inner part 5, also referred to as a door inner panel. Within the vehicle door 2, a disc 6 is also supported. In addition, the vehicle door 2 has a door inner side arranged on the door outer part 4 bearing bracket 7 for an outside door on the door outer part 4 arranged outside door handle 8. On the bearing bracket 7 is a so-called balancing mass 9 of a known per se door opening mechanism pivotally mounted. The said balancing mass 9 is in operative connection with the outside door handle 8 and compensates for the mass of the outside door handle 8.

Die Ausgleichsmasse 9 ist unter Vermittlung eines aus den Fig. 3 bis 5 ersichtlichen ersten Bowdenzuges 10 mit einem an sich bekannten, in einem Türschlossgehäuse 11 angeordneten und nicht zeichnerisch dargestellten Türschloss wirkverbunden. Darüber hinaus ist in den Fig. 3 bis 5 ein zweiter Bowdenzug 12 gezeigt, der seinerseits das Türschloss mit einem nicht zeichnerisch dargestellten Türinnengriff verbindet.The balancing mass 9 is mediated by one of the Fig. 3 to 5 apparent first Bowden cable 10 with a known, operatively arranged in a door lock housing 11 and not shown in the drawing door lock operatively connected. In addition, in the Fig. 3 to 5 a second Bowden cable 12 is shown, which in turn connects the door lock with a door handle not shown in the drawing.

Das Türschlossgehäuse 11 ist gemäß diesem Ausführungsbeispiel, welches lediglich beispielgebend eine hintere Fahrzeugtür 2 betrifft, an einer einer C-Säule 13 (vgl. insbes. Fig. 1) des Fahrzeugs 1 zugewandten Stirnwand 14 festgelegt. Bekanntermaßen korrespondiert das Türschloss respektive eine Drehfalle desselben mit einem karosserieseitig, vorliegend an der besagten C-Säule 13 fest angeordneten Schließbolzen oder Schließbügel (nicht zeichnerisch dargestellt). Bei geschlossener Fahrzeugtür 2 ist hierdurch ein besonders fester Verbund zwischen derselben und der Fahrzeugkarosserie geschaffen. Infolge Betätigung des Türaußengriffs 8 ist die Ausgleichsmasse 9 von einer ersten Betriebsstellung 15 (Fig. 6a, 7a), welche infolge der Wirkverbindung mit dem Türschloss unter Vermittlung des ersten Bowdenzuges 10 einer Geschlossenstellung des Türschlosses entspricht, in eine zweite Betriebsstellung 16 (Fig. 7b), welche einer Offenstellung des Türschlosses entspricht, überführbar.The door lock housing 11 is according to this embodiment, which merely exemplifies a rear vehicle door 2, on one of a C-pillar 13 (see. Fig. 1 ) of the vehicle 1 facing end wall 14. As is known, the door lock or a rotary latch thereof corresponds with a body-side locking bolt, in the present case on the said C-pillar 13, which is fixedly arranged (not shown in the drawing). When the vehicle door 2 is closed, this creates a particularly strong bond between it and the vehicle body. As a result of operation of the outside door handle 8, the balancing mass 9 is from a first operating position 15 (FIG. Fig. 6a, 7a ), which corresponds as a result of the operative connection with the door lock, mediated by the first Bowden cable 10, to a closed position of the door lock, into a second operating position 16 (FIG. Fig. 7b ), which corresponds to an open position of the door lock, transferable.

Wie den Fig. 2 bis 5 weiter zu entnehmen ist, ist der besagten, am Lagerbügel 7 schwenkbar gelagerten Ausgleichsmasse 9 (Fig. 2, 3) ein Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement 17 zugeordnet und mit einem bestimmten Freigang zur Ausgleichsmasse 9, welcher die Schwenk-Bewegung derselben zum Öffnen des Türschlosses nicht behindert, angeordnet. Das Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement 17 ist vorgesehen, um lediglich im Falle eines Crashereignisses, insbesondere eines Seitencrashs, oder eines vergleichbaren Ereignisses, wie eines entsprechenden Crashversuchs, bei dem wie in Fig. 7b gezeigt eine Barriere 18 auf die Fahrzeugtür 2 auftrifft, zur Wirkung zu kommen.Like that Fig. 2 to 5 can be seen further, is the said, pivotally mounted on the bearing bracket 7 balancing mass 9 ( Fig. 2 . 3 ) assigned a force introduction and blocking element 17 and with a certain clearance to the leveling compound 9, which does not hinder the pivoting movement thereof to open the door lock arranged. The force introduction and blocking element 17 is provided in order only in the event of a crash event, in particular a side crash, or a comparable event, such as a corresponding crash test, in which, as in Fig. 7b shown a barrier 18 impinges on the vehicle door 2, to come into effect.

Das Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement 17 ist vorliegend durch einen druckfesten Formkörper 19 aus bevorzugt einem Kunststoffschaum gebildet. Die Erfindung beschränkt sich jedoch nicht auf diesen Werkstoff, sondern erfasst auch beispielsweise einen aus Blechteilen gebildeten, druckfesten Hohlkörper oder einen metallenen Schaumkörper (nicht zeichnerisch dargestellt). Das Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement 17 respektive der Formkörper 19 ist in der Bewegungsrichtung 20 der Barriere 18 gesehen zumindest gegen das an der Fahrzeugtür 2 befestigte Türschlossgehäuse 11, gemäß diesem Ausführungsbeispiel zusätzlich auch gegen das Rahmenteil 3 sowie gegen das Türinnenteil 4 abgestützt und befestigt (vgl. insbes. Fig. 2). Lediglich beispielgebend ist das Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement 17 vorliegend zum einen kraftschlüssig mittels beispielsweise eines lediglich schematisch dargestellten Clips 21, Schraubelements oder dgl. mit dem Türinnenteil 5 und ferner über Klebestellen 22, 23 mit dem Rahmenteil 3 und dem Türschlossgehäuse 11 fest verbunden.The force introduction and blocking element 17 is presently formed by a pressure-resistant molded body 19 preferably made of a plastic foam. However, the invention is not limited to this material, but also covers, for example, formed from sheet metal parts, pressure-resistant hollow body or a metal foam body (not shown in the drawing). The force introduction and blocking element 17 respectively the shaped body 19 is seen in the direction of movement 20 of the barrier 18 at least against the door lock housing 11 attached to the vehicle door 2, according to this embodiment also supported against the frame part 3 and against the door inner part 4 and secured (see. esp. Fig. 2 ). Merely by way of example, the force introduction and blocking element 17 in the present case is firmly connected by means of, for example, a clip 21, screw element or the like, shown only schematically with the door inner part 5 and also via splices 22, 23 to the frame part 3 and the door lock housing 11.

Nachfolgend wird unter Bezugnahme auf die Fig. 6a bis 7b die Erfindung weiter in ihrer Funktion beschrieben:
Danach befinden sich gemäß den Fig. 6a und 7a zu einem Zeitpunkt "t0" die Fahrzeugtür 2 in einem geschlossenen Zustand, der Türaußengriff 8 in einem unbetätigten Zustand und demgemäß die Ausgleichsmasse 9 in ihrer ersten Betriebsstellung 15. Gesetzt den Fall, es ist gemäß Fig. 6b zu einem Zeitpunkt "t1" ein seitlicher Anstoß (Bewegungsrichtung 20) einer Barriere 18, wie einem Kraftfahrzeug, zu verzeichnen, geht dieser Anstoß mit einer Intrusion der Barriere 18 in das Innere der Fahrzeugtür 2 oder des Fahrzeugs 1 sowie mit einer bestimmten Faltenbildung am Türaußenteil 4 insbesondere um den Lagerbügel 7 herum einher. Hieraus würde herkömmlich eine Bewegung des ersten Bowdenzuges 10 und damit auch der Ausgleichsmasse 9 des Öffnungsmechanismus derart resultieren, dass die Ausgleichsmasse 9 in ihre zweite Betriebsstellung 16 überführt wird (Fig. 7b) und ein undefiniertes respektive ungewolltes Öffnen des Türschlosses eintritt.The following is with reference to the Fig. 6a to 7b the invention further described in its function:
After that, according to the Fig. 6a and 7a at a time "t 0 ", the vehicle door 2 in a closed state, the outside door handle 8 in an unactuated state, and accordingly the balancing mass 9 in its first operating position 15. If the case, it is according to Fig. 6b At a time "t 1 ", a lateral impact (direction of movement 20) of a barrier 18, such as a motor vehicle, is recorded, this impetus comes with an intrusion of the barrier 18 into the interior of the vehicle door 2 or the vehicle 1 and with a specific wrinkling on Door outer part 4 in particular around the bearing bracket 7 around. From this, conventionally a movement of the first Bowden cable 10 and thus also of the balancing mass 9 of the opening mechanism would result in such a way that the balancing mass 9 is transferred into its second operating position 16 (FIG. Fig. 7b ) and an undefined or unwanted opening of the door lock occurs.

Dem entgegen wirkt jedoch das vorstehend beschriebene Krafteinleitungs- und Blockierelement 17, welches in einer Ruhestellung (Fig. 6a) mit einem bestimmten Freigang zur Ausgleichsmasse 9 angeordnet ist, jedoch infolge der Intrusion des Türaußenteils 4 samt Lagerbügel 7 und Ausgleichsmasse 9 derart die Ausgleichsmasse 9 kontaktiert (Fig. 6b), dass eine Schwenk-Bewegung der Ausgleichsmasse 9 von der ersten Betriebsstellung 15 in die zweite Betriebsstellung 16 verhindert bzw. blockiert oder eine bereits zu verzeichnende Schwenk-Bewegung der Ausgleichsmasse 9 begrenzt und/oder rückgeführt wird. Dieser Vorgang kann sich innerhalb von 15ms vollziehen. Durch diese Maßnahme ist wirkungsvoll verhindert, dass im Falle eines Crashereignisses, insbesondere eines Seitencrashs, oder eines vergleichbaren Ereignisses, wie eines entsprechenden Crashversuchs, eine ungewollte Betätigung des ersten Bowdenzuges 10 derart erfolgt, dass das Türschloss geöffnet und die Fahrzeugtür 2 in unerwünschter Weise freigegeben wird.However, counteracts the force introduction and blocking element 17 described above, which in a rest position ( Fig. 6a ) is arranged with a certain clearance to the balancing mass 9, but 9 so contacted as a result of the intrusion of the door outer part 4 together with the bearing bracket 7 and leveling compound 9 the balancing mass 9 ( Fig. 6b ), that a pivoting movement of the balancing mass 9 from the first operating position 15 in the second operating position 16 is prevented or blocked or limits an already recorded pivoting movement of the balancing mass 9 and / or recycled. This process can take place within 15ms. This measure effectively prevents accidental actuation of the first Bowden cable 10 in the event of a crash event, in particular a side crash, or a comparable event, such as a corresponding crash attempt, such that the door lock is opened and the vehicle door 2 is released in an undesired manner ,
