Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle lock, with a locking mechanism consisting essentially of rotary latch and pawl, furthermore with a drive and with a securing element, the drive operating on the securing element via a rack element, and the rack element being equipped with a blocking element.
  • Motor vehicle locksmiths typically have a central locking system and, if necessary, an anti-theft device. With the help of the central locking system, all doors equipped with an associated motor vehicle lock can be locked together. As a result, access from the outside is generally not possible, but the motor vehicle doors in question can nevertheless be opened from inside the motor vehicle. If an anti-theft device is also implemented, an opening from the inside is also suppressed in the “anti-theft” state, so that the motor vehicle in question cannot be opened even if the window of the associated motor vehicle door is smashed.
  • a child safety function can in principle also be implemented, to be precise generally on rear motor vehicle side doors.
  • the motor vehicle lock in question cannot be opened from the inside, but it can be opened from the outside.
  • the child safety device can in principle also be inserted with the aid of a drive.
  • mechanical solutions for actuating the child safety device are known.
  • security element is to be interpreted broadly in the context of the present application. In fact, this can be a locking element as well as an anti-theft element. This also includes a child safety element. As a result, completely different functional positions of the motor vehicle lock can be set using the locking element.
  • the position securing device is provided for a slidably mounted slide and serves to secure the position of the slidably mounted slide.
  • the position assurance in the known teaching comprises a tilting device, with the aid of which the slide can be tilted in the event of an excessively high acceleration.
  • the procedure can in principle also be such that a drive for the respective securing element is returned to its basic position after the securing element has been acted upon.
  • a procedure decouples the drive from the securing element, so that, for example, impacts on the drive caused by a crash do not act on the securing element.
  • the prior art basically strives to reduce the design effort.
  • the generic prior art according to DE 10 2014 000 680 A1 already works with a motor or a drive in order to change both the position of a lock and an anti-theft device as required. With the help of the additionally provided position securing, the respective set position is then secured. This is relatively expensive because the position assurance requires a special spring designed as a double-acting pincer spring for its implementation.
  • the invention aims to provide a remedy here overall.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of developing such a motor vehicle lock in such a way that different securing positions can be adopted in a reproducible manner and taking into account a structurally simple structure safely and reliably.
  • a generic motor vehicle lock is characterized within the scope of the invention in that the blocking element is designed as a rocker arm defining at least two end positions of the toothed rod element.
  • the rack element Due to the special blocking element designed as a rocker arm, according to the invention, at least two end positions of the rack element can consequently be defined and implemented. These two end positions can, for example, belong to the functional positions “child-proof” and “theft-proof”. As a result, within the scope of the invention, there is the possibility of not only being able to correctly distinguish between these two functional positions. Instead, only one (single) drive is required for the rack element, which in turn works on the securing element. This allows the design effort to be reduced, because the anti-theft function and the child safety function do not need their own drive.
  • the one (single) drive is used in order to be able to map both the child safety function and the anti-theft function via the rack element.
  • the respective end positions “child-proof” or “theft-proof” belong to different end positions of the rack element, which in turn can be approached with the help of the locking element designed as a rocker arm in a targeted and precise manner.
  • the correspond Functional positions “child unlocked” as well as “theft unlocked” to a common starting position of the rack element before it is actuated. In this way, the overall design effort is reduced and the functional reliability is increased because the blocking element or the rocker arm directly defines the two end positions of the rack element.
  • the rocker arm is usually connected to the rack element. This can basically be done in such a way that the rocker arm is connected to the rack element in an articulated manner by means of a transmission lever.
  • the rocker arm and the transmission lever are generally mounted coaxially to one another.
  • the rocker arm is usually equipped with a return spring in this context.
  • This return spring is advantageously a bistable spring, i. H. one that allows an impact in one direction and also in its opposite direction and ensures a respective return movement into a middle position or middle O-position after the applying force has ceased to exist.
  • a simple leg spring can also be used to advantage. That ultimately depends on how the position of the individual functional positions is implemented and implemented using the rack element.
  • the rocker arm is usually C-shaped with two blocking legs.
  • the design is also made such that the respective blocking leg of the C-shaped rocker arm interacts with a stop arranged between the blocking legs. That is, through the C-shape of the rocker arm, the invention opens up the possibility of positioning the relevant stop or the multiple stops between the two ends of the blocking legs.
  • the stop is designed as a component of the drive. As a result, stops to be trained can be avoided in principle, which is the further reduced construction effort. Because the stop is usually formed on a worm wheel of the drive.
  • the invention is based on the knowledge that the drive for the rack element is usually equipped with an electric motor and a drive worm on the output shaft of the electric motor. This drive worm engages in the previously mentioned worm wheel of the drive.
  • the design is then made in such a way that the worm wheel carries a gear wheel that meshes with the rack element.
  • different gear ratios can be implemented as required, as will be explained in more detail below with reference to the description of the figures.
  • the stop is formed on the worm wheel.
  • the worm wheel has a mostly rear stop disk, which is usually integrally formed with the worm wheel (made of plastic).
  • the stop disk thereby defines two opposing stops on its outer circumference for the respective blocking leg of the rocker arm which encompasses the stop disk in a C-shape. In this way, the two end positions of the rack element in question can be implemented in a particularly simple and functionally reliable manner.
  • the securing element is generally connected to the rack element in an articulated manner.
  • the securing element is usually a securing lever acted upon by a spring. Through its interaction with the safety lever, the spring ensures that the safety lever is secured in position.
  • the safety lever is usually designed with a spring arm, which interacts with a leg of the spring designed as a leg spring.
  • This limb or spring limb of the spring mostly has a nose which interacts and can interact with the spring arm in such a way that the securing element or the securing lever is at least “unlocked”, “theft-proof” and finally “child-proof” a position securing device learns.
  • the spring arm is equipped with a bulge adapted to the contour of the nose, as will be explained in more detail with reference to the description of the figures.
  • a motor vehicle lock and in particular motor vehicle door lock is made available which is particularly simple in terms of construction by resorting to a (single) drive for both the child safety function and the anti-theft function.
  • Another factor contributing to this is the fact that the safety element, which can be controlled into the three different functional positions, is adjusted and can also be adjusted with the aid of a rack and pinion element.
  • the rack element has a blocking element designed as a rocker arm, with the aid of which at least two end positions of the rack element can be defined.
  • An additionally realized starting position of the rack element is approached by the spring assigned to the rocker arm each time the force is no longer applied by the drive. This is where the main advantages can be seen.
  • FIG. 2A shows the motor vehicle lock according to FIG. 1 in the neutral position in a rear view
  • FIG. 2C shows the motor vehicle lock according to FIG. 2A in the "anti-theft" position.
  • a motor vehicle lock is shown, which is a motor vehicle door lock.
  • This has a locking mechanism (not shown in more detail) consisting essentially of a rotary latch and a pawl.
  • An actuating lever 1 which is mounted on the same axis as an opening lever 2, is implemented for triggering and actuating the locking mechanism.
  • the locking mechanism can be opened mechanically with the aid of the opening lever 2, regardless of the position of the actuating lever 1 and a clutch lever 3.
  • the clutch lever or outer clutch lever 3 is transferred into the “disengaged” position shown in FIG. 1 (and in FIGS. 2A and 2C) with the aid of a securing element 5, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • a drive 6, 7, 8 for a rack element 9 is also provided.
  • the drive 6, 7, 8 works via the rack element 9 on the securing element 5, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the rack element 9 is equipped with a blocking element 10.
  • the blocking element 10 is designed as a rocker arm 10 defining at least two end positions of the rack element 9.
  • the rocker arm 10 is connected to the rack element 9 in an articulated manner.
  • a transmission lever 11 is provided for this purpose.
  • the rocker arm 10 is connected in an articulated manner to the rack element 9 with the aid of the transmission lever 11.
  • the rocker arm 10 and the transmission lever 11 are mounted on the same axis.
  • a spring 12 which is assigned to the rocker arm 10 can also be seen.
  • the spring 12 is a return spring.
  • the spring 12 is designed as a leg spring and, with its leg base, encloses a bearing pin that defines the common axis of the rocker arm 10 and the transmission lever 11.
  • the rocker arm is generally C-shaped with two blocking legs 10a, 10b.
  • the two blocking legs 10a, 10b can thereby interact with a stop 13 arranged between them.
  • this stop 13 is designed as a rear stop disk or stop rib 13, which is connected at the rear to a worm wheel 8 as part of the drive 6, 7, 8.
  • the drive 6, 7, 8 is essentially composed of an electric motor 6, a drive worm 7 arranged on the output shaft of the electric motor 6 and the worm wheel 8 in question, which meshes with the drive worm 7.
  • the worm wheel 8 in turn carries a gear wheel 8 a which engages in the rack element 9.
  • rotational movements of the worm wheel 8 or of the gear wheel 8a are converted into linear adjusting movements of the rack element 9.
  • the securing element 5 is in turn articulated to the rack element 9, namely to a toothing of the Zahnstangenele Mentes 9 opposite end.
  • the securing element 5 is a securing lever 5, which is acted upon by a spring 14 for securing the position.
  • the outer clutch lever 3 is engaged in the “child-proof” position according to FIG. 2b, so that in this functional position only the inner clutch lever 16 is disengaged so that the motor vehicle lock in question cannot be opened from the inside.
  • the outer clutch lever 3 is “engaged” in this case, so that when the motor vehicle lock is unlocked, the associated motor vehicle door can still be opened from the outside and unchanged.
  • FIGS. 2A to 2C The different positions of the securing element 5 with respect to the spring 14 interacting with the securing element 5 are now shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C.
  • the spring 14 has a nose 14a for this purpose.
  • the fuse element 5 is equipped with a bulge from 5a.
  • the three different and previously discussed functional positions neutral or “unlocked or unlocked”, “child-proof” and finally “theft-proof” correspond to the fact that a spring arm 5b of the securing element 5 with the front bulge 5a either centrally from the nose 14a is secured or is located on one or the other side of the nose 14a. That is to say, the interaction between the spring 14 and the securing element 5 ensures that the securing element 5 is secured in position.
