Description

Lagerstelle für einen Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel Storage point for a tailgate or bonnet bar
Technisches Gebiet Technical field
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lagerstelle für einen Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. The invention relates to a bearing point for a tailgate or bonnet bracket according to the preamble of claim 1.
Stand der Technik State of the art
Derartige Lagerstellen für einen Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel sind bereits in vielfältiger Form und Ausgestaltung bekannt und gebräuchlich. So wird beispielsweise in der DE 10 2010 032 459 A1 eine Anordnung mit einer Klappe offenbart, die von einem Bügelscharnierarm gehalten ist, der an einem Lagerbock angelenkt ist, einer Feder, die ein Aufschwenken der Klappe zumindest unterstützt, und einer Rastierung, die mit einem Rastbereich des Bügelscharnierarms zusammenwirkt und die die Klappe in ihrer maximalen Offen-Position lösbar arretiert, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Rastierung eine Aufnahme ist, in die der Rastbereich des Bügelscharnierarms beim Erreichen der maximalen Offen-Position der Klappe einschwenkt, wobei die Aufnahme außerhalb der Feder angeordnet ist und/oder den Rastbereich an mindestens drei Seiten aufnimmt. Such bearings for a tailgate or bonnet bracket are already known and used in a variety of forms and designs. For example, DE 10 2010 032 459 A1 discloses an arrangement with a flap which is held by a hinge arm which is articulated on a bearing block, a spring which at least supports the flap being pivoted open, and a detent which engages with a Locking area of the hinge arm interacts and releasably locks the flap in its maximum open position, characterized in that the detent is a receptacle into which the locking area of the hinge arm swings when the flap reaches the maximum open position, the Recording is arranged outside the spring and / or takes up the locking area on at least three sides.
Um die Lackierbarkeit der einzelnen Teile durch den elektrophoretischen Abscheideprozess zu ermöglichen, wird die sogenannte kathodische Tauchlackierung (KTL) oder anodische Tauchlackierung (ATL) verwendet. Die kathodische Tauchlackierung, auch „Kataphorese“ genannt, ist ein elektrochemisches Verfahren, bei dem das Werkstück in einem Tauchbad beschichtet wird. So-called cathodic dip painting (KTL) or anodic dip painting (ATL) is used to enable the individual parts to be painted using the electrophoretic deposition process. Cathodic dip painting, also called "cataphoresis", is an electrochemical process in which the workpiece is coated in an immersion bath.
Um die Lackierfähigkeit der Karosserie im KTL-Bad sicherzustellen, muss von einer Heckklappenanbindung zu einer Karosserieanbindung ein Stromfluss vorhanden sein. Die Leitfähigkeit wird im Stand der Technik z.B. durch Magnetbänder erreicht, die den Stromfluss zwischen den angesprochenen Teilen gewährleistet. Dies ist aufwändig und kostenintensiv, da in der Regel entsprechende Bohrungen auf den einzelnen Teilen zur verschraubten Befestigung der Magnetbänder zwischen den einzelnen Teilen notwendig sind. In order to ensure the paintability of the body in the KTL bathroom, there must be a current flow from a tailgate connection to a body connection. The conductivity is e.g. achieved by magnetic tapes, which ensures the current flow between the addressed parts. This is complex and cost-intensive, since corresponding bores on the individual parts are generally necessary for the screwed fastening of the magnetic tapes between the individual parts.
Aufgabe der Erfindung Object of the invention
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die Nachteile aus dem Stand der Technik zu überwinden. Insbesondere soll eine Lagerstelle für einen Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel bereitgestellt werden, bei der der Stromfluß zwischen den einzelnen Teil des Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügels kostengünstig herstellbar ist und gewährleistet werden kann. The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. In particular, a storage location for a tailgate or bonnet bow is to be provided, in which the current flow between the individual parts of the tailgate or bonnet bow is inexpensive to manufacture and can be guaranteed.
Lösung der Aufgabe Solution of the task
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe führen die Merkmale nach dem Anspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben. The features according to claim 1 lead to the achievement of the object. Advantageous refinements are described in the subclaims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Lagerstelle für einen Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel besteht in erster Linie aus drei Hauptteilen. Dabei handelt es sich um den Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel, wobei der Heckklappen oder Frontklappenbügel einends eine Karosserieanbindung und andernends eine Heckklappenanbindung aufweist. Dabei sind die Teile einzeln hergestellt und anschließend miteinander verbunden. Der Werkstoff alle Teile ist dabei ein Metall neuer Werkstoff, der Stromfluss-leitend ist. The bearing point according to the invention for a tailgate or bonnet bow consists primarily of three main parts. This is the tailgate or bonnet bracket, with the tailgate or bonnet bracket having a body connection on one side and a tailgate connection on the other. The parts are manufactured individually and then connected to each other. The material of all parts is a metal new material that conducts current flow.
Dies ist auch notwendig, da die Lackierbarkeit der einzelnen Teile durch den elektrophoretischen Abscheideprozess davon abhängt, dass eine Leitfähigkeit gewährleistet ist. Dazu wird die sogenannte kathodische Tauchlackierung (KTL) oder anodische Tauchlackierung (ATL) verwendet. Die kathodische Tauchlackierung, auch „Kataphorese“ genannt, ist ein elektrochemisches Verfahren, bei dem das Werkstück in einem Tauchbad beschichtet wird. This is also necessary because the paintability of the individual parts depends on the fact that conductivity is guaranteed due to the electrophoretic deposition process. The so-called cathodic dip coating (KTL) or anodic dip coating (ATL) is used for this. Cathodic dip painting, also called "cataphoresis", is an electrochemical process in which the workpiece is coated in an immersion bath.
Um die Lackierfähigkeit der Karosserie im KTL-Bad sicherzustellen, muss von der Heckklappenanbindung zu der Karosserieanbindung ein Stromfluss vorhanden sein. In order to ensure the paintability of the body in the KTL bathroom, there must be a current flow from the tailgate connection to the body connection.
Die einends an dem Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel angeordnete Karosserieanbindung dient hierbei der Verbindung des Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügels mit der restlichen Karosserie. Die andernends des Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügels angeordnete Heckklappenanbindung dient dabei der Verbindung des Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügels mit einer Heckklappe. Bevorzugt kommt ein solcher Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel bei Limousinen, bzw. Stufenheckfahrzeugen zum Einsatz. The body connection arranged on one end of the tailgate or front flap bracket serves to connect the tailgate or front flap bracket to the rest of the body. The tailgate connection arranged at the other end of the tailgate or front flap bracket serves to connect the tailgate or front flap bracket to a tailgate. Such a tailgate or bonnet bracket is preferably used in limousines or notchback vehicles.
Dabei ist erfindungsgemäß zwischen der Karosserieanbindung und dem Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel eine Kontaktscheibe angeordnet ist. Die Kontaktscheibe zeichnet sich in erster Linie dadurch aus, dass sie möglichst flach ausgebildet ist und mittig im Wesentlichen eine rotationsfreundliche bevorzugt runde Ausnehmung aufweist. Dabei weiß sie auch einen bevorzugt runden Außenumfang auf. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass sie zum einen auf eine zylindrisch ausgebildete Achse aufgezogen werden kann und zum anderen bei der Rotation der einzelnen Teile keine Angriffspunkte bietet und die Funktionsfähigkeit der Gesamtkonstruktion nicht beeinträchtigt. According to the invention, a contact disk is arranged between the body connection and the tailgate or bonnet bracket. The contact disc is primarily characterized by the fact that it is as possible is flat and essentially has a rotation-friendly, preferably round recess in the center. It also has a preferably round outer circumference. This has the advantage that, on the one hand, it can be pulled onto a cylindrical axis and, on the other hand, it does not offer any points of attack when the individual parts rotate and does not impair the functionality of the overall construction.
Folglich kann es sich bei der Kontaktscheibe um einen Federring, eine Wellscheibe, ein Schlitzring, eine Zwischenscheibe, eine Tellerfeder oder ein anderes Kreiselement oder Teilkreiselement handelt. Consequently, the contact washer can be a spring washer, a corrugated washer, a slotted ring, an intermediate washer, a plate spring or another circular element or partial circular element.
Weiter ist ein Bolzen vorgesehen, der den Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel zu der Karosserieanbindung haltend lagert. Dabei greift der Bolzen bevorzugt durch zwei Öffnungen der Karosserieanbindung und durch einen Durchlass des Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügels. Der Bolzen ist zumindest teilweise von einer Achse umfangen. Die Achse bildet dabei den Durchlass aus. A bolt is also provided, which supports the tailgate or bonnet bracket to the body connection. The bolt preferably engages through two openings in the body connection and through a passage in the tailgate or bonnet bracket. The bolt is at least partially surrounded by an axis. The axis forms the passage.
Die Achse wiederum weist einends einen einstückig ausgebildeten Kragen auf. Der Kragen dient dabei als Anschlagsfläche der Achse zum Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel. Auf diese Weise wird der Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel im Bereich der Karosserieanbindung mit einfach definierter Reibung verschwenkbar gehaltert. Andernends weist die Achse eine zusätzliche Drehscheibe auf. Die Drehscheibe kann auch ähnlich dem Kragen einstückig mit der Achse ausgebildet sein. Die zweistückige Ausbildung hat aber den Vorteil, dass die Drehscheibe beim Verschwenken der Achse, ohne dass es zu Verschränkungen kommen kann, frei beweglich ist. The axle in turn has a one-piece collar at one end. The collar serves as the stop surface of the axle to the tailgate or bonnet bracket. In this way, the tailgate or front flap bracket is pivotally held in the area of the body connection with simply defined friction. At the other end, the axis has an additional turntable. The turntable can also be formed in one piece with the axis, similar to the collar. However, the two-part design has the advantage that the turntable is freely movable when the axis is pivoted, without interlocking.
Die Achse ist in Arbeitslage von einer Karosseriehülse teilweise oder ganz umgriffen, wobei die Karosseriehülse ein Teil der Karosserieanbindung ist. In Arbeitslage bedeutet im Rahmen dieser Erfindung, wenn die einzelnen Hauptteile, wie Heckklappenbügel, Karosserieanbindung und Heckklappenanbindung, funktional zusammengebaut sind und zum Einsatz kommen könnten. The axle is partially or completely encompassed by a body sleeve in the working position, the body sleeve being part of the body connection. In the working position in the context of this invention means if the individual main parts, such as tailgate bracket, body connection and Tailgate connection, are functionally assembled and could be used.
Die Kontaktscheibe ist zwischen der Karosseriehülse und dem Kragen zumindest teilweise kontaktend angeordnet. Bei dieser Anordnung ist in besonderer Weise die Funktionalität des Stromflusses bei praktisch unbedeutender Beeinflussung des Reibungsverhaltens beim Verschwenken des Heckklappenbügel in die Offenstellung oder Verschlussstellung der Heckklappe gewährleistet. The contact disk is arranged at least partially in contact between the body sleeve and the collar. In this arrangement, the functionality of the current flow is ensured in a special way with a practically insignificant influence on the friction behavior when the tailgate bracket is pivoted into the open or closed position of the tailgate.
Zwischen der Karosseriehülse und der Achse ist ein Isolator angeordnet. Bei dem Isolator handelt es sich um eine Lagerbüchse, die nicht elektrisch leitfähig ist. Die Kontaktscheibe, der Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel, die Karosserieanbindung und die Heckklappenanbindung sind aus einem stromleitenden metallenen Werkstoff hergestellt. An insulator is arranged between the body sleeve and the axle. The insulator is a bearing bush that is not electrically conductive. The contact plate, the tailgate or bonnet bracket, the body connection and the tailgate connection are made of a conductive metal material.
Der Bolzen einends einen Bolzenkopf auf und andernends ist der Bolzen in einem Bolzenlager des Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügels gehaltert. Andernends weist der Bolzen außerdem eine Verjüngung auf, die den Einbau des Bolzens erleichtern soll. Das Bolzenlager wiederum soll die Funktionsfähigkeit des Bolzens als Teil eines drehbaren Lagers gewährleisten. Der Bolzenkopf stellt einends wiederum den Abschluss der drehbaren Lagerung dar. The bolt at one end of a bolt head and at the other end the bolt is held in a bolt bearing of the tailgate or bonnet bracket. At the other end, the bolt also has a taper, which is intended to facilitate the installation of the bolt. The pin bearing in turn is intended to ensure the functionality of the pin as part of a rotatable bearing. The bolt head in turn represents the end of the rotatable bearing.

Die Kontaktscheibe 7 kann dabei ein Federring, eine Wellscheibe, ein Schlitzring, eine Zwischenscheibe oder ein anderes Kreiselement oder Teilkreiselement sein ä Die Kontaktscheibe 7 ist dabei zwischen dem Kragen 13 und der Karosseriehülse 8 angeordnet, wobei der Kragen 13 wiederum auf der Seite des Bolzens 5 angeordnet ist, welcher auch den Bolzenkopf 1 1 umfasst. Dadurch ist ein besonders fester Halt gewährleistet und dadurch wiederum ist der Stromfluss in besonders guter Weise gewährleistet. The contact washer 7 can be a spring washer, a corrugated washer, a slotted ring, an intermediate washer or another circular element or partial circular element. The contact washer 7 is arranged between the collar 13 and the body sleeve 8, the collar 13 in turn on the side of the bolt 5 is arranged, which also includes the bolt head 1 1. This ensures a particularly firm hold and, in turn, the current flow is ensured in a particularly good manner.
Außerdem ist ein Kreisbereich B gezeigt, welcher in der Figur 3 vergrößert dargestellt ist. In addition, a circular area B is shown, which is shown enlarged in FIG.
Der Bolzen 5 ist von einer Achse 6 umfangen. Die Achse 6 weist einends einen einstückig ausgebildeten Kragen 13 und andernends eine zusätzliche Drehscheibe 10 auf. Dabei handelt es sich bei der Achse 6 im Wesentlichen um einen Hohlzylinder an dessen einen Ende der Kragen 13 in einem im wesentlich rechten Winkel vom Hohlzylinder weg angeordnet ist. The bolt 5 is surrounded by an axis 6. The axis 6 has a one-piece collar 13 at one end and an additional turntable 10 at the other end. The axis 6 is essentially a hollow cylinder at one end of which the collar 13 is arranged at a substantially right angle away from the hollow cylinder.
Die Achse 6 ist in Arbeitslage von einer Karosseriehülse 8 teilweise oder ganz umgriffen, wobei die Karosseriehülse 8 ein Teil der Karosserieanbindung 1 ist. Das Zusammenspiel aus der Karosseriehülse 8 und der Achse 6 und dem Bolzen 5 führt zu einer leicht definierbaren verschwenkbaren lagernden Halterung für eine solche Lagerstelle. The axle 6 is partially or completely encompassed in the working position by a body sleeve 8, the body sleeve 8 being part of the body connection 1. The interaction of the body sleeve 8 and the axle 6 and the bolt 5 leads to an easily definable pivotable mounting bracket for such a bearing point.
Die Kontaktscheibe 7 ist dabei zwischen der Karosseriehülse 8 und dem Kragen 13 zumindest teilweise kontaktend angeordnet ist. Weiter ist in diesem Zusammenhang zu erkennen, wie ein Stromfluss S von der Karosseriehülse 8 der Karosserieanbindung 1 zur Achse 6 und von der Achse 6 zum Bolzen 5 und dann zum Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel 3 verläuft oder, hier nicht gezeigt, von der Achse 6 auf den Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel 3 verläuft. Zuletzt weist die Achse 6 einen Durchlass 14 auf, in welchen der Bolzen 5 in Arbeitsalge eingeschoben ist. The contact disk 7 is arranged between the body sleeve 8 and the collar 13 at least partially in contact. It can also be seen in this connection how a current flow S runs from the body sleeve 8 of the body connection 1 to the axis 6 and from the axis 6 to the bolt 5 and then to the tailgate or bonnet bracket 3 or, not shown here, from the axis 6 the tailgate or bonnet bracket 3 runs. Finally, the axis 6 has a passage 14 into which the bolt 5 is inserted into the working alga.
Weiter ist zwischen der Karosseriehülse 8 und der Achse 6 ein Isolator 9 angeordnet. Furthermore, an insulator 9 is arranged between the body sleeve 8 and the axle 6.
Die Kontaktscheibe 7, der Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügel 3, die Karosserieanbindung 1 und die Heckklappenanbindung 2 aus einem stromleitenden metallenen Werkstoff bestehen. The contact plate 7, the tailgate or bonnet bracket 3, the body connection 1 and the tailgate connection 2 consist of a current-conducting metal material.
Der Bolzen 5 weist einends einen Bolzenkopf 1 1 auf. Andernends ist der Bolzen 5 in einem Bolzenlager 12 des Heckklappen- oder Frontklappenbügels 3 gehaltert. The bolt 5 has a bolt head 11 at one end. At the other end, the bolt 5 is held in a bolt bearing 12 of the tailgate or bonnet bracket 3.
