Description

Modular component for a moving part of a vehicle and a method for actuating a moving part of a

vehicle

Description

The present invention relates to a modular component for a moving part of a vehicle, such as. B. a door or a flap of the vehicle. The modular component is designed in particular for use on a fixed handle, a recessed grip or an outer skin of the movable part or on a component of the vehicle adjoining the movable part. The modular component is preferably designed for actuating, including: locking, unlocking, opening and/or closing the movable part. The invention also relates to a method for actuating a movable part of a vehicle using a corresponding modular component.

Movable door handles for motor vehicles are known which can be moved between a closed position and an extended open position in order to to open a vehicle door manually. Fixed door handles with sensors are also known, which are actuated without actively moving the door handle, for example by reaching into a door handle recess with one hand, in order to automatically open the vehicle door. To open the vehicle door, a locking system must first be operated in order to unlock the vehicle door. In this case, mechanical locking systems are known which can be mechanically locked and/or unlocked by actuating a mechanical locking cylinder. In addition, automatic locking systems for vehicle doors are known which can be locked and/or unlocked without using a mechanical lock cylinder. Such automatic locking systems can be designed as active or passive keyless entry systems that allow the vehicle door to be unlocked without the active intervention of an authorized driver. After the vehicle door has been unlocked, it can be opened automatically by pulling a movable door handle or by actuating a sensor on the door handle. Such locking systems can also be embodied as keyless go systems, which are fully automated and also enable the motor vehicle to be started by simply pressing a start button. For this purpose, the driver must carry an electronic key in the form of an ID transmitter with him in order to identify himself with a security system in the motor vehicle. Proximity sensors are mostly used in such door handles, which first detect the presence of a user and then start an identification query in order to verify the authorization of the user. During the identification query, the vehicle's security system can communicate with the ID transmitter in order to query an identification code. If the authorized user is successfully authenticated, the locking system automatically unlocks the vehicle door and thus enables the vehicle door to be opened automatically by pulling on a moveable door handle or by activating a sensor on a fixed door handle.

In modern motor vehicles, an emergency opening system is usually provided for the vehicle door in order to be able to actuate the locking system and open the vehicle door in an emergency situation, for example in the event of an accident. If an accident is detected, the locking system is automatically unlocked. In order to finally open the vehicle door, an emergency opening element can be provided on the door handle of the vehicle door, which can be connected to a traction mechanism. The traction means can in one are mechanically operatively connected to the locking system in order to open the vehicle door by pulling on the emergency opening element. For this purpose, a triggering device for the emergency opening element can be provided, which automatically transfers the emergency opening element from the rest position to the operating position when an accident is detected. In the case of the known systems, in addition to emergency situations, for example in the event of accidents, other situations have emerged in which the locking system cannot be actuated reliably. These other emergency situations can arise if, for example, the electronics of the vehicle fail and/or the power supply for the automatic actuation of the locking system and/or for operating the sensors fails.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a modular component for a moving part of a vehicle, such as. B. a door or a flap of the vehicle, in particular for use on a fixed handle, a recessed grip or an outer skin of the movable part or on a component of the vehicle adjacent to the movable part, which allows in different or even in all emergency situations, the moveable part to operate reliably. In particular, the object of the invention is to provide a modular component for a movable part of a vehicle, which allows an improved, simple, intuitive and reliable actuation of the movable part. In addition, it is an object of the invention to provide a modular component for a moving part of a vehicle which is simple in construction, which is compact and lightweight and which is easily attached to the moving part, in particular to a fixed handle or a recessed grip, or an outer skin of the moving part or can be mounted on a component of the vehicle adjacent to the moving part.

The above object is achieved by a modular component for a movable part of a vehicle with the features of the independent device claim and by a method for actuating a movable part of a vehicle using such a modular component with the features of the independent method claim. Further features and details of the invention result from the respective dependent claims, the description and the drawings. Features and details that are described in connection with the modular component according to the invention also apply, of course, in connection with the method and method according to the invention vice versa in each case, so that with regard to the disclosure of the individual aspects of the invention, reference is or can always be made to one another.

The object is achieved in particular by a modular component for a moving part of a vehicle, such as. B. a door or a hatch of the vehicle, which is designed in particular for use on a fixed handle, a recessed grip or an outer skin of the movable part or on a component of the vehicle adjacent to the movable part, and which is preferably for actuation, comprising: Locking, unlocking, opening and / or closing, the moving part is performed. The module component comprising: a support housing, which can also be referred to as an assembly support, for fastening the module component to the moving part of the vehicle and for supporting a moveable emergency opening element, the emergency opening element for emergency actuation of the moving part of the vehicle in the event of an accident and/or a Power failure, meaning in particular both and, with a traction device for actuating a lock, in particular for opening the movable part, being attached to the emergency opening element, and with the emergency opening element being movable between at least two positions, namely: a rest position, in which the emergency opening element is on the support housing is supported, and an operating position in which the emergency opening element can be actuated by a user in order to actuate the lock by pulling on the traction means, and a triggering device for the emergency opening element in order to automatically activate the emergency opening element, in particular in the event of an accident isch to be transferred from the rest position to the operating position, the emergency opening element being designed in such a way that the emergency opening element, in particular in the event of a power failure or an electrical and/or electronic failure in the vehicle, in particular comprising: an electronics failure, a power supply failure and/or sensor failure , Can be transferred from the rest position to the operating position by a manual force exerted by the user. The idea of the invention is that in the event of an accident of the vehicle, the triggering device automatically transfers the emergency opening element from the rest position to the operating position. In addition, the inventive idea is that in the event of a power failure, particularly comprehensive: an electronic failure, a

Power failure and/or sensor failure, d. H. all emergency situations that have to do with electrical and/or electronic failures in the vehicle, the emergency opening element can be transferred from the rest position to the operating position by manual force on the part of the user, e.g. by simply pressing the emergency opening element.

Advantageously, the modular component according to the invention is compatible with locking systems that can be designed as keyless entry systems or keyless go systems. According to both alternatives, appropriate sensors for presence detection, such. B. capacitive sensors, and / or sensors for an activation action detection, such. B. inductive sensors can be integrated in the module component. According to a further advantage, in addition to the sensors, a lighting unit can also be integrated in the module component to make it easier to find the module component, for example on or in a recessed grip of the vehicle. Furthermore, an electronic unit can be integrated in the module component, which controls the corresponding locking system and communicates with a security system of the vehicle.

The security system of the vehicle can be implemented on a radio basis or an NFC basis for an identification query. The locking system of the vehicle can preferably be designed without a mechanical lock cylinder for locking and/or unlocking the movable part. The locking system can unlock the moving part when an authorized user has successfully identified themselves to the vehicle's security system. After that, the locking system can open the vehicle door automatically when corresponding sensors on the module component have been actuated. With such locking systems, it is normally provided that the locking system automatically unlocks all vehicle doors in an emergency situation.

However, should the electronics or the power supply of such a locking system fail, there is no mechanical locking cylinder to open the moving part ready. According to the invention, the advantage is achieved that, despite a power failure, it is still possible to operate the locking system manually in order to open the movable part. To do this, the user only needs to press the emergency opening element, for example with a force of approximately 15 N, in order to transfer the emergency opening element from the rest position to the operating position. In the operating position, the emergency opening element is easy to grasp, for example it hangs out of a recessed grip. In the operating position, the user can comfortably grasp the emergency opening element in order to pull on the emergency opening element. Finally, by pulling on the emergency opening element, for example with a force of around 1000 N, the locking system can be actuated in order to open the moving part.

Furthermore, in a modular unit it can be provided that the emergency opening element is supported in the rest position by a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a snap-in connection, on the carrier housing. A mechanical connection for supporting the emergency opening element on the carrier housing can thus be provided that can be produced quickly and easily and is advantageously detachable and reversible. The latching connection can be made, for example, between the emergency opening element and the support housing, in particular a latching cam on the emergency opening element and a holding element on the support housing.

Furthermore, in a modular unit it can be provided that the emergency opening element can be detached from a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection, with the carrier housing by means of a bayonet connection with the carrier housing, in order in particular to move the emergency opening element from the rest position into the to transfer operating position. It is conceivable here that the emergency opening element is designed in the shape of a cylinder and is accommodated in a complementary cylindrical guide on the carrier housing along its longitudinal axis. The bayonet connection is made between the cylindrical emergency opening element and the cylindrical guide in the carrier housing. To support the emergency opening element on the carrier housing, the emergency opening element is simply pushed into the guide on the carrier housing until a latching element, e.g. in the form of a latching cam, on the emergency opening element engages with a corresponding retaining element, preferably in a form-fitting and/or non-positive manner, in order to achieve a latching - Establish a connection between the emergency opening element and the carrier housing. To the The bayonet connection can advantageously be used to release the snap-in connection, which enables the emergency opening element to be rotated when the emergency opening element is pressed. By rotating the emergency opening element, the latching cam on the emergency opening element can be rotated out of engagement with the corresponding holding element on the carrier housing in order to free the emergency opening element from the latching connection. After the locking connection has been released, the emergency opening element can be moved from the rest position to the operating position with the aid of a prestressed spring element.

Furthermore, it can be provided in a modular unit that the emergency opening element is designed in such a way that the emergency opening element can be transferred from the rest position to a release position by the user pressing, in particular by pressing on the end face of an end face of the emergency opening element, in a direction opposite to the operating position . In the release position of the emergency opening element, a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection, can advantageously be released between the emergency opening element and the support housing, so that the emergency opening element can be transferred into the operating position by a prestressed spring element.

In addition, it can be provided in a modular unit that the emergency opening element is designed in such a way that the emergency opening element can be axially displaced from the rest position into a release position by the user pressing the emergency opening element in a direction opposite to the operating position and can be automatically rotated by an axial displacement. By rotating the emergency opening element, the emergency opening element can be freed from a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection, with the carrier housing. As a result, the emergency opening element can be released for transfer from the rest position to the operating position by a prestressed spring element.

In a modular unit, it can also be provided that the emergency opening element has a latching element, in particular monolithic, made of the same material and/or in one piece, preferably in the form of a latching cam, which in the rest position of the emergency opening element has a spring-elastic acted upon, holding element cooperates on the carrier housing. In the rest position of the emergency opening element, the latching element and the holding element can be used to produce a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection, between the emergency opening element and the carrier housing. The emergency opening element can be supported on the support housing in the rest position by means of the positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular snap-in connection, between the emergency opening element and the support housing.

Furthermore, in a modular unit it can be provided that a holding element, in particular a spring-elastic one, is provided on the carrier housing in order to support the emergency opening element in the rest position on the carrier housing, in particular in a positive and/or non-positive manner. The retaining element can be designed, for example, in the form of a leaf spring, preferably with an undercut for a latching element, in particular for a latching cam, on the emergency opening element. In addition, it is conceivable that the holding element can have a pawl with a restoring spring, which is in particular rotatably mounted on the carrier housing. In principle, different configurations of the latching element and the holding element are conceivable in order to produce a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection, between the emergency opening element and the carrier housing.

Furthermore, it can be provided in a modular unit that the emergency opening element has a control link, in particular an integrally formed control link, which interacts with a control cam in a guide on the carrier housing in order to axially shift the emergency opening element from the rest position into a release position when the user presses on the emergency opening element in a direction opposite to the operating position in a rotational movement. Advantageously, the control link on the emergency opening element and the control cam can form a bayonet connection in a guide on the support housing. With the aid of the bayonet connection, the emergency opening element can be released from a form-fitting and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection, with the carrier housing in a simple manner. Thus, the emergency opening element can be released for transfer from the rest position to the operating position by a prestressed spring element. Furthermore, it can be provided in a modular unit that the control link has a control rib, in particular with an inclination towards an axial extension of the emergency opening element, in order to release the emergency opening element by axial displacement of the emergency opening element from the rest position into a release position when the user presses on the emergency opening element in a direction opposite to the operating position. In this way, an axial displacement of the emergency opening element can easily be translated into a rotary movement.

In addition, it can be provided in a modular unit that the control link has a return rib, in particular with an incline towards an axial extension of the emergency opening element, in order to twist the emergency opening element back into an initial rotational orientation when transferring from a release position into the operating position. In this way, it can be made possible that when the emergency opening element is automatically transferred from the rest position to the operating position, in particular in the event of an accident, the emergency opening element can be moved essentially in a translatory manner, and/or that when the emergency opening element is manually transferred from the operating position to the rest position After the emergency opening element has been used to actuate the movable part, the emergency opening element can be moved essentially in a translatory manner.

In addition, in a modular unit it can be provided that the control link has a catch area, in particular a funnel-shaped catch area, in order to catch a control cam in a guide on the carrier housing. In this way, the emergency opening element can be accommodated in the guide on the carrier housing, advantageously in the correct rotational orientation. Received in the guide on the support housing, the emergency opening element can be pushed into the guide until a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection, is established between the emergency opening element and the support housing. For this purpose, the retaining element on the carrier housing can be raised by the emergency opening element and snap in behind the latching element on the emergency opening element. The emergency opening element can thus be supported on the carrier housing in the rest position. Advantageously, the length and/or the pitch of the control rib can be adjusted as a function of a possible adjustment path (depending on the given installation space conditions) for pressing on the emergency opening element and/or a possible angle of rotation of the emergency opening element for releasing a bayonet connection with the carrier housing. The adjustment path corresponds to an axial displacement of the emergency opening element from the rest position to the release position. In this way, the modular component can be easily adapted to the given space conditions. The possible uses of the modular component at different locations can be expanded as a result.

It is conceivable, for example, that an adjustment path of the emergency opening element, in particular from the rest position to the release position, can be set between 2 mm and 10 mm, in particular between 3 mm and 8 mm, preferably 5 mm, for pressing on the emergency opening element. In this way, a relatively short adjustment path can be made possible, which can enable a reliable release of a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a snap-in connection between the emergency opening element and the carrier housing using a bayonet connection. In this way, a simple and convenient way can be created to convert the emergency opening element, especially in the event of a power failure, by manual force on the part of the user from the rest position to the operating position.

In addition, it is conceivable that a rotation angle of the emergency opening element for releasing a bayonet connection with the carrier housing can be set between 15° and 60°, in particular between 30° and 45°, preferably 45°. A relatively short adjustment path can thus be created with a reliably acting bayonet connection for releasing a form-fitting and/or non-positive connection, in particular a snap-in connection, between the emergency opening element and the carrier housing.

Furthermore, in a modular unit it can be provided that the emergency opening element is arranged in the rest position on the support housing in such a way that the emergency opening element protrudes at a distance of between 2 mm and 4 mm, in particular 3 mm, from a receiving opening in a guide in the support housing and, for example, in a recessed grip on Carrier housing protrudes. In this way, the emergency opening element, e.g. in a recessed grip, can be felt easily. In addition, the adjustment path of the emergency opening element from the rest position to the release position can be lengthened by the emergency opening element protruding from the guide in the carrier housing.

Furthermore, in a modular unit it can be provided that the emergency opening element is arranged in a release position on the carrier housing in such a way that the emergency opening element can enter a receiving opening in a guide in the carrier housing at a depth of between 1 mm and 3 mm, in particular 2 mm. In this way, the necessary adjustment path of the emergency opening element for transferring the emergency opening element from the rest position to the release position can be provided, in particular in order to create a reliably acting bayonet connection for releasing a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a snap-in connection between the emergency opening element and to create the carrier housing.

Advantageously, a stop can be provided in a guide in the support housing for the emergency opening element in order to mark a release position of the emergency opening element for releasing a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection, with the support housing. In this way, haptic feedback can be provided for the user to signal that the snap-in connection is released and the user can let go, so that the emergency opening element can now be moved out with the aid of a prestressed spring element without the user's help. Instead of the stop or in addition to the stop, an increase in force or a decrease in force can be provided or a clicking sound can be provided in order to mark the release position of the emergency opening element for releasing a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a snap-in connection with the carrier housing. In this way, an intuitive actuation of the emergency opening element can be made possible in order to transfer the emergency opening element, in particular in the event of a power failure, from the rest position to the operating position by means of a manual force exerted by the user.

Furthermore, it can be provided in a modular unit that the emergency opening element has an end face, in particular a convex one, which is designed to have a manual end face absorb the user's force. As a result, the force exerted by the user can be applied to the middle of the end face in order to press on the emergency opening element as far as possible along the longitudinal axis. In this way, reliable actuation of the emergency opening element can be made possible, which is associated with reduced friction in a guide in the carrier housing.

In addition, in a modular unit it can be provided that the emergency opening element has a roughened surface on one end face in order to stabilize positioning of a finger on the emergency opening element. This prevents the user's finger from slipping when the emergency opening element is pressed.

Advantageously, it is conceivable that the emergency opening element can be made from a dimensionally stable and in particular fiber-reinforced material, preferably from a polyamide with glass fiber reinforcement. In this way, the emergency opening element can be provided, which can remain in operation for a long time and can be used several times.

In addition, it can be provided in a modular unit that the emergency opening element has a slot guide, in particular an integrally formed slot guide, for the traction means in order to attach the traction means in a detachable manner, in particular with a positive and/or non-positive fit, to the emergency opening element. In this way, a simple connection to the traction device can be created. This also makes it possible for the emergency opening element to be replaced without removing the traction mechanism.

In addition, in a modular unit it can be provided that the traction means has a fastening barrel which is arranged in a movable, in particular rotatable, manner in a, in particular cylindrical, chamber in the emergency opening element. It is conceivable that the slot guide is essentially L-shaped and preferably opens into the chamber. Consequently, the traction means can be attached to the emergency opening element easily and conveniently, advantageously in a detachable manner, in particular with a positive and/or non-positive fit. It can also be made possible that for pulling on the traction means in the operating position of the emergency opening element, the traction means can be at least partially detached from a slot guide on the emergency opening element, and/or that a manual Transferring the emergency opening element from the operating position to the rest position, the traction mechanism can be placed back into a slot guide on the emergency opening element.

Furthermore, in a modular unit it can be provided that the traction means is designed in the form of a traction rope, a particularly fiber-reinforced plastic rope or a chain. In this way, a stable traction device can be provided in order to transmit high forces, for example of around 1000 N, to the lock.

Furthermore, it can be provided in a modular unit that the traction mechanism is in an operative connection with a Bowden cable via lever kinematics. It is also conceivable here for the Bowden cable to be in an operative connection with the lock in order to actuate the lock by pulling on the traction mechanism. A mechanical active connection to the lock can thus be created in an advantageous manner.

Furthermore, it can be provided in a modular unit that the emergency opening element is acted upon in a spring-elastic manner from the rest position into the operating position. In this way, the emergency opening element can move out into the operating position after the detent connection has been released without the help of the user.

In addition, a spring element can be provided in a modular unit, which is supported on the carrier housing in order to act on the emergency opening element from the rest position into the operating position. In particular, it is conceivable that the spring element can be designed in the form of a torsion spring. Alternatively, the spring element can be designed in the form of a compression spring. In this way, a simple actuator can be provided in order to transfer the emergency opening element from the rest position to the operating position.

In addition, it is conceivable that the spring element can have a spring leg which can be brought to bear on the emergency opening element in a spring-elastic manner when the emergency opening element is in the rest position. The spring leg can advantageously be designed in such a way and/or have at least one bending point in order to increase an effective lever with which the spring element acts on the emergency opening element during the transfer from the rest position to the operating position, and/or a To extend the actuating path of the emergency opening element from the rest position to the operating position. The space required for the modular component can thus be reduced.

Advantageously, the spring element, in particular on a spring leg which rests resiliently on the emergency opening element, can have a preferably angled bent section to form an elongate bearing on the emergency opening element (20). The flexible section allows the spring element to rest stably on the emergency opening element. In addition, the bending section can ensure that a traction mechanism, which is attached to the emergency opening element and is used to actuate a lock, remains on one side of the spring element and does not get tangled up on the spring element.

In addition, it is conceivable that the spring element can have a support leg which is supported on a stop on the carrier housing. In this way, the spring element can be easily prestressed.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the spring element can have a helically wound spring core, which can be arranged on a spring dome on the carrier housing. In this way, the spring element can be easily supported on the carrier housing.

Furthermore, in a modular unit it can be provided that a guide, in particular cylindrical, is provided for the emergency opening element on the carrier housing, which is designed to guide the emergency opening element when the emergency opening element is moved from the rest position to a release position and from the release position to the operating position. In this way, a stable movement of the emergency opening element from the rest position into a release position and from the release position into the operating position can be made possible. A cylindrical guide can be advantageous in order to establish a bayonet connection between the emergency opening element and the support housing.

Furthermore, it can be provided in a modular unit that a, in particular shaft-like, guide for the spring element is provided on the carrier housing, which serves to guide the spring element during resilient relaxation for transferring the To lead emergency opening element from the rest position to the operating position. A stable springback of the spring element can thus be made possible in order to move the emergency opening element from the rest position into the operating position.

In addition, it is particularly conceivable that the guide for the spring element can open into the guide for the emergency opening element. In this way, the spring deflection can be extended into the guide for the emergency opening element.

Advantageously, at least one spring guide element, e.g. in the form of a groove or a support rib, preferably two, preferably opposite, spring guide elements can be provided on the carrier housing, in particular in the guide for the spring element, in order to position the spring element in the rest position on the emergency opening element. In this way, the spring element can be prevented from slipping off the emergency opening element.

It is also conceivable that a shielding element (can also be referred to as a cover element) can be provided on the carrier housing, in order in particular to accommodate an excess length of the traction mechanism and/or to at least partially cover the elements of the module component.

Furthermore, in a modular unit it can be provided that the triggering device for the emergency opening element has a drive, in particular an electromechanical, electromagnetic, pneumatic and/or hydraulic drive, preferably in the form of an electric motor, in order to automatically move the emergency opening element out of the rest position, in particular in the event of an accident to be transferred to the operating position.

The triggering device can have a drive element, in particular a translationally movable drive element, for acting on a holding element, in particular a spring-elastic one, on the carrier housing or directly on the emergency opening element, in order to release the emergency opening element for transfer, in particular by a spring element, from the rest position to the operating position. The triggering device can have an ice-breaking element, in particular on a translationally movable drive element, which preferably interacts with a counter-edge on the emergency opening element in order to provide protection against ice. The ice-breaking element can push the emergency opening element into the operating position in such a way that a layer of ice between the emergency opening element and a receiving opening in a guide in the carrier housing can be detached and the triggering device can actuate the emergency opening element.

The object is also achieved by a method for actuating a movable part of a vehicle using a modular component, which can be designed as described above, having the following steps: automatic transfer of the emergency opening element from the rest position to the operating position, in particular in the event of an accident, by a triggering device , And / or manual transfer of the emergency opening element from the rest position to the operating position, in particular in the event of a power failure, by a manual force exerted by a user.

With the aid of the method according to the invention, the same advantages can be achieved that were described above in connection with the modular component according to the invention. Reference is made in full to these advantages here.

A method can advantageously provide that after the emergency opening element has been used to actuate the movable part, the method provides at least one further step: manual transfer of the emergency opening element from the operating position to the rest position.

In this way, multiple use of the emergency opening element to actuate the movable part can be made possible.

A method can also provide that when the emergency opening element is automatically transferred from the rest position to the operating position, in particular in the event of an accident, the emergency opening element is moved essentially in a translatory manner. To this Way, a low-friction transfer of the emergency opening element from the rest position to the operating position can be made possible.

A method can also provide that when the emergency opening element is manually transferred from the rest position to the operating position, in particular in the event of a power failure, the emergency opening element is axially displaced from the rest position to a release position by the user pressing the emergency opening element in a direction opposite to the operating position and by a axial displacement is rotated automatically. In this way it can be made possible that the emergency opening element can be transferred from the rest position to the operating position by simply pressing the user.

A method can also provide that when the emergency opening element is manually transferred from the operating position to the rest position after the emergency opening element has been used to actuate the movable part, the emergency opening element is moved essentially in a translatory manner. In this way, a low-friction transfer of the emergency opening element from the operating position into the rest position can be made possible when the emergency opening element is reinserted on the carrier housing.

Advantageously, in order to pull on the traction means in the operating position of the emergency opening element, the traction means can be at least partially detached from a slot guide on the emergency opening element. In this way, it is possible to simply grip the emergency opening element in the manner of a corkscrew.

Furthermore, it can be advantageous that for manual transfer of the emergency opening element from the operating position to the rest position, the traction means can be placed in a slot guide (28) on the emergency opening element. In this way, the emergency opening element can simply be pushed into the cylindrical guide on the support housing without the traction means getting in the way.

In the following figures, the same reference numbers are used for the same technical features, also for different exemplary embodiments. As a rule, the reference symbols for the same exemplary embodiments are only described once. Figures 1 to 8 and 11 to 16 each show a modular component 100 for a moving part 201 of a vehicle 202, such as. B. a door or a hatch of the vehicle 200. The vehicle 200 as a whole is not shown in the figures merely for reasons of simplicity. The modular component 100 is preferably provided for use on a fixed handle and/or in a recessed grip 14 for a movable part 201 of the vehicle 200 . The recessed grip 14 can be formed in the carrier housing 10, as illustrated in FIGS. In the context of the invention, it is fundamentally possible to arrange the modular component 100 on the movable part 201 or on a component of the vehicle 200 adjoining the movable part 201 . The modular component 100 is preferably used to actuate the movable part 201, including: locking, unlocking, opening and/or closing the movable part 201. In emergency situations, the modular component 100 is preferably used to open the movable part 201.

As shown in detail in FIGS. 1 to 16, the modular component 100 has the following elements: a support housing 10, which can also be referred to as an assembly support, for fastening the modular component 100 to the movable part 201 of the vehicle 200 and for supporting a movably mounted one Emergency opening element 20, the emergency opening element 20 for emergency actuation of the movable part 201 of the vehicle 200 both in the event of an accident and in the event of a power failure, with a traction mechanism 27 on the emergency opening element 20 for actuating a lock 202 of the movable part 201, in particular for opening the movable part 201 , is fixed, and wherein the emergency opening element 20 can be moved between at least two positions I, II, namely: a rest position I (see, for example, the position shown in FIG. 1), in which the emergency opening element 20 is supported on the carrier housing 10, and one Operating position II (see e.g. the position indicated with dashed lines in Figure 1), in which the emergency opening element 20 can be actuated by a user in order to actuate the lock 202 by pulling on the traction mechanism 27, and a triggering device 30 for the emergency opening element 20 in order to automatically switch off the emergency opening element 20, particularly in the event of an accident to convert the rest position I into the operating position II. According to the invention, the emergency opening element 20 is designed in such a way that the emergency opening element 20, in particular in the event of a power failure or an electrical and/or electronic failure in the vehicle 200, in particular including: an electronics failure, a power supply failure and/or sensor failure, by a manual force exerted by the user can be transferred from the rest position I to the operating position II.

To do this, the user can first press on the emergency opening element 20 in order to transfer the emergency opening element 20 from the rest position I (see, for example, FIG. 6) to a release position 0 (see, for example, FIG. 7). In the release position 0, the emergency opening element 20 can be released by a holding element 11 and conveyed into the operating position II by the action of a pretensioned spring element 40.

As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 11, 13a and 14 to 16, the emergency opening element 20 can be supported on the carrier housing 10 in the rest position I by a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a snap-in connection 11, 21 . The locking connection is preferably made between the emergency opening element 20 and the support housing 10, in particular a locking cam 21 on the emergency opening element 20 and a holding element 11 on the support housing 10.

As indicated in FIGS. 4 to 7, 11, 12 and 13a and 13b, the emergency opening element 20 can be connected to the carrier housing 10 by a bayonet connection 17, 22 from a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a snap-in connection 11, 21, with the carrier housing 10, in order to be able to transfer the emergency opening element 20 from the rest position I to the operating position II, in particular with the aid of a spring element 40.

As indicated in Figure 12 and Figure 13c, the emergency opening element 20 can be freed by a triggering device 30 from a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection 11, 21, with the carrier housing 10 in order to release the emergency opening element 20 to be able to convert the rest position I into the operating position II, in particular with the aid of a spring element 40 . As shown at least in FIGS. 9 and 10, the emergency opening element 20 can be designed to be essentially cylindrical.

As at least FIGS. 6 and 7 show, the emergency opening element 20 can be accommodated in a complementary cylindrical guide F1 on the support housing 10 along its longitudinal axis. The bayonet connection 17, 22 is established between the cylindrical emergency opening element 20 and the cylindrical guide F1 in the carrier housing 10.

To fasten the emergency opening element 20 in the support housing 10, the emergency opening element 20 can simply be pushed into the guide F1 on the support housing 10 until a locking element, e.g / or non-positive engagement, as at least Figures 4 and 5 and 11 and 12 show.

To release the snap-in connection 11, 21, the bayonet connection 17, 22 can advantageously be used, which allows the emergency opening element 20 to rotate when the emergency opening element is pressed, as at least FIGS. 6 and 7 indicate. By rotating the emergency opening element 20, the locking cam 21 on the emergency opening element 20 can be rotated out of engagement with the corresponding holding element 11 on the carrier housing 10 until the holding element 11 is lifted and comes to rest on the side of the emergency opening element 20. After the latching connection 21, 11 has been released, the emergency opening element 20 can be conveyed from the rest position I to the operating position II with the aid of the prestressed spring element 40.

In other words, the emergency opening element 20 can be transferred from the rest position I into a release position 0 according to FIG. 7 by the user pressing in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. In this release position 0 of the emergency opening element 20 according to FIG 20 and the support housing 10 are lifted, so that the emergency opening element 20 can be converted into the operating position II by a prestressed spring element 40 .

If the locking connection 11, 21 between the emergency opening element 20 and the support housing 10 has been released, the retaining element 11 can rest against a bearing surface 21b of the emergency opening element 20, which can be seen in FIG. 10 or in FIG. 13b.

If the user presses on the emergency opening element 20 in a direction opposite to the operating position II (see the arrow in FIG. 6), the emergency opening element 20 can thus be axially displaced from the rest position I into a release position 0 and automatically rotated by an axial displacement. By rotating the emergency opening element 20, the emergency opening element 20 can be freed from the locking connection 11, 21 with the carrier housing 10.

As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, 9 to 12 and 13a to 16, the emergency opening element 20 can have a latching element, in particular monolithic, made of the same material and/or in one piece, e.g. in the form of a latching cam 21, which Rest position I of the emergency opening element 20 can interact with a holding element 11 on the carrier housing 10, which is in particular elastically loaded.

Complementary to the locking cam 21 on the emergency opening element 20, a retaining element 11, in particular a resiliently loaded one, can be provided on the carrier housing 10 in order to support the emergency opening element 20 in the rest position I on the carrier housing 10, in particular with a positive and/or non-positive fit.

The holding element 11 can be fixed using a fastening element 10a, e.g. b. in the form of a screw, are attached to the carrier housing 10.

If the latching connection 11, 21 between the emergency opening element 20 and the support housing 10, in particular a latching cam 21 on the emergency opening element 20 and a holding element 11 on the support housing 10, is made, the holding element 11 can a bearing surface 21a of the emergency opening element 20, which can be seen in FIGS. 9 and 10, 13a, 13c and 14 to 16.

The holding element 11 according to FIGS. 4, 5, 11 and 12 can, for example, be formed from a spring steel sheet. In this way, the holding element 11 itself can have resilient properties or act as a leaf spring.

In the figures 13a to 13c the holding element 11 is shown as a two-part element with a pawl 11a and a return spring 11b.

Other possible configurations of the holding element 11 are shown in FIGS. 14, 15 and 16, which is not exhaustive.

FIG. 13a shows the rest position I of the emergency opening element 20, in which the emergency opening element 20 is secured by the retaining element 11. FIG. 13b shows the release position 0 of the emergency opening element 20, in which the engagement with the holding element 11 is released. FIG. 13c shows the rest position I of the emergency opening element 20, in which the emergency opening element 20 is released by the triggering device 30, which lifts the holding element 11.

As at least Figures 6 and 7, 9 and 10 as well as Figures 11 and 12 show, the emergency opening element 20 can have a control link 22, in particular an integrally formed one, which is connected to a control cam 17 (can be seen, for example, in Figures 3, 4 and 5) cooperates in a guide F1 on the support housing 10 in order to convert an axial displacement of the emergency opening element 20 from the rest position I into a release position 0 into a rotary movement when the user presses on the emergency opening element 20 in a direction opposite to the operating position II. The control link 22 on the emergency opening element 20 and the control cam 17 in a guide F1 on the support housing 10 together form a bayonet connection 17, 22.

In the view of Figures 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12 it can be seen that the control link 22 may have a control rib 22a, in particular with a tendency to an axial extent of the emergency opening element 20 to the emergency opening element 20 by a to twist axial displacement of the emergency opening element 20 from the rest position I into a release position 0 when the user presses on the emergency opening element 20 in a direction opposite to the operating position II.

Furthermore, Figures 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12 show that the control link 22 can have a return rib 22b, in particular with an inclination towards an axial extension of the emergency opening element 20, in order to prevent the emergency opening element 20 when transferring from a release position 0 to the operating position II to twist back to an initial twist orientation.

As is also shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, 9, 11 and 12, an activation area 22.1 can be provided in the control slot 22. The activation area 22.1 can be formed between the control rib 22a and the return rib 22b. The activation area 22.1 can advantageously serve to release the bayonet connection 17, 22.

As is also shown in FIGS. 5, 9, 11 and 12, the control link 22 can be provided with an assembly area 22.2. The assembly area 22.2 can advantageously be used to align the control cam 17 when establishing a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection 11, 21, between the emergency opening element 20 and the carrier housing 10.

Furthermore, Figures 9, 11 and 12 show that the control link 22 can have a, in particular funnel-shaped, capture area 22.3 in order to capture a control cam 17 in a guide F1 on the carrier housing 10 and in particular to

Emergency opening element 20 in the guide F1 on the support housing 10, advantageously in the correct rotational orientation. The emergency opening element 20 can thus be accommodated again in the guide F1 on the carrier housing 10 after the

Emergency opening element 20 was used to actuate the movable part 201. Received in the guide F1, the emergency opening element 20 can be pushed into the guide F1 until a positive and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latching connection 11, 21, is restored between the emergency opening element 20 and the support housing 10. For this purpose, the holding element 11 can be raised on the support housing 10 by the emergency opening element 20 and behind the Snap latching element 21 on the emergency opening element 20 or engage in order to support and hold the emergency opening element 20 in the rest position I on the carrier housing 10 .

Advantageously, the length and/or the slope of the control rib 22a can be dependent on a possible adjustment path W (depending on the given installation space requirements on the movable part 201) for pressing the emergency opening element 20 and/or a possible angle of rotation V of the emergency opening element 20 for releasing a bayonet - Connection 17, 22 to the support housing 10 can be adjusted.

It is conceivable, for example, that an adjustment path W of the emergency opening element 20, in particular from the rest position to the release position, can be set to approximately 5 mm for pressing on the emergency opening element 20. Furthermore, a rotation angle V of the emergency opening element 20 for releasing a bayonet connection 17, 22 with the carrier housing 10 can be set between 30° and 45°, for example.

As indicated in Figure 6 by way of example, the emergency opening element 20 can be arranged in the rest position I on the support housing 10 in such a way that the emergency opening element 20 can be pulled out of a receiving opening 15 in a guide F1 at a distance d between 2 mm and 4 mm, in particular 3 mm protrudes in the carrier housing 10 and thus projects into a recessed grip 14 on the carrier housing 10 . In this way, the emergency opening element 20 can easily be felt in the recessed grip 14 . In addition, the adjustment path of the emergency opening element 20 from the rest position I to the release position 0 can be lengthened.

As indicated in Figure 7, the emergency opening element 20 can be arranged in a release position 0 on the support housing 10 in such a way that the emergency opening element 20 can be inserted with a depth t between 1 mm and 3 mm, in particular 2 mm, into a receiving opening 15 in a guide F1 im Support housing 10 can immerse in order to provide a required adjustment path of the emergency opening element 20 for transferring the emergency opening element 20 from the rest position I to the release position 0. As at least FIGS. 13a to 16 indicate schematically, a stop 16 can be provided in a guide F1 in support housing 10 for emergency opening element 20 in order to release position 0 of emergency opening element 20 for releasing a form-fitting and/or non-positive connection, in particular a latch - Mark connection 11, 21 with the carrier housing 10 and provide haptic feedback to the user. The haptic feedback can signal to the user that the latching connection 11, 21 is released and the user can let go, so that the emergency opening element 20 can now move out with the aid of a prestressed spring element 40 without the user's help. Instead of the stop 16 or in addition to the stop 16, an increase in force or a decrease in force can be provided, or a cracking noise can be provided.

As indicated in FIGS. 1 to 16, the emergency opening element 20 can have an end face 24, in particular a convex one, in order to direct the force exerted by the user into the middle of the end face 24. In addition, it is conceivable that the emergency opening element 20 can have a roughened surface on an end face 24 in order to prevent the user's finger from slipping off when the emergency opening element 20 is pressed.

As indicated in FIG. 10, the emergency opening element 20 can have a slot guide 28, in particular an integrally formed slot guide 28 for the traction means 27, in order to detachably attach the traction means 27 to the emergency opening element 20, e.g. positively and/or non-positively. The traction means 27 can have a fastening barrel 27a, which can be arranged in a movable, for example rotatable, manner in a chamber 28a, in particular a cylindrical one, in the emergency opening element 20. It is conceivable that the slot guide 28 can be essentially L-shaped and can preferably open into the chamber 28a. The traction means 27 can thus be detachably attached to the emergency opening element 20, in particular with a positive and/or non-positive fit. This also makes it possible for the traction means 27 to be at least partially released from a slot guide 28 on the emergency opening element 20 in order to pull the traction means 27 in the operating position II of the emergency opening element 20, as indicated in FIG. For manual transfer of the emergency opening element 20 from the operating position II to the rest position I, the traction mechanism 27 can be placed back into the slot guide 28 on the emergency opening element 20 . The traction means TI can, for example. In the form of a traction cable, a z. B. fiber-reinforced plastic rope or chain. The traction device 27 can transmit a force of approximately 1000 N to the lock 202 in order to actuate the lock 202 and thus open the movable part 201 .

As at least FIGS. 4 and 5 as well as FIGS. 11 and 12 indicate, the traction means 27 can be operatively connected to a Bowden cable 25 via a lever kinematic system 25 in order to actuate the lock 202 .

As already mentioned above and as at least Figures 3 to 8 and 11 to 16 indicate, the emergency opening element 20 can be resiliently acted upon from the rest position I into the operating position II, preferably by a spring element 40 which is supported on the carrier housing 10. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 8 and 11 to 16, the spring element 40 can be designed in the form of a torsion spring. Alternatively, the spring element 40 can be designed, for example, in the form of a compression spring.

In FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 11 and 12, for example, it is made clear that the spring element 40 can have a spring leg 41 which, in the rest position I of the emergency opening element 20, can be brought to bear on the emergency opening element 20 in a resilient manner.

A special, for example angled, contact point 41b for resting on one end of the emergency opening element 20 can be provided at the end of the spring leg 41 (cf. FIGS. 5, 11 and 12).

The spring leg 41 can also have at least one bending point 41a in order to increase an effective lever with which the spring element 40 acts on the emergency opening element 20 during the transfer from the rest position I to the operating position II, and to increase an actuation path of the emergency opening element 20 from the rest position I to extend to the operating position II.

In addition, at least Figures 3 and 4 show that the spring element 40 can have a support leg 42 which is attached to a stop 12 on the carrier housing 10 can be supported. In this way, the spring element 40 can be easily prestressed.

Furthermore, at least FIGS. 3 and 4 show that the spring element 40 can have a helically wound spring core 43 which can be arranged on a spring dome 13 on the carrier housing 10 .

As at least Figures 6, 7 and 8 show, a guide F1, in particular a cylindrical one, for the emergency opening element 20 can be provided on the support housing 10, in particular between the support housing 10 and a screen element 19, in order to guide the emergency opening element 20 when the emergency opening element 20 from the rest position I to the release position 0 and from the release position 0 to the operating position II.

Figure 8 also shows that a, in particular shaft-like, guide F2 for the spring element 40 can be provided on the carrier housing 10, in particular between the carrier housing 10 and a shielding element 19, in order to guide the spring element 40 during resilient relaxation for transferring the emergency opening element 20 from the To lead resting position I in the operating position II.

As is also indicated in FIG. 8, the guide F2 for the spring element 40 can open into the guide F1 for the emergency opening element 20. In this way, the spring travel can be extended into the guide F1 for the emergency opening element 20.

As the figure also shows, at least one spring guide element 18, e.g.

As indicated in FIG. 3, a shielding element 19 or, in other words, a cover element can be provided on the carrier housing 10 in order to accommodate, in particular, an excess length of the traction mechanism 27 and/or to at least partially cover and/or seal elements of the modular component 100. Furthermore, at least Figures 3 and 4 and 11 and 12 show that the triggering device

30 for the emergency opening element 20 can have a drive 31, for example in the form of an electric motor, in order to move a drive element 32, in particular translationally.

In addition, the triggering device 30 can have a drive element 32, in particular a translationally movable one, for acting on the holding element 11 on the support housing 10 or directly on the emergency opening element 20 (see the example in FIG. 16).

An ice-breaking element 33 can advantageously be formed on the drive element 3 (cf. FIGS. 4, 5 and 11 to 16), which can preferably interact with a counter-edge 23 on the emergency opening element 20 in order to provide protection against ice. The ice-breaking element 33 can be lifted by the drive element 32 when the drive element 32 is raised

31 first push the emergency opening element 20 in the direction of the operating position II in such a way that a layer of ice between the emergency opening element 20 and a receiving opening 15 can be released into the guide F1 in the carrier housing 10 and the triggering device 30 can actuate the emergency opening element 20. The opposite edge 23 can be seen in FIGS. 4, 5, 11 and 12.

In some figures, a button unit 50 and an electronic unit 60 are also shown, which can be used to connect the modular component 100 according to the invention with the locking systems, such as. B. keyless entry systems or keyless go systems to make compatible. According to both alternatives, appropriate sensors for presence detection, such. B. capacitive sensors, and / or sensors for an activation action detection, such. B. inductive sensors in the module component 100, using the button unit 50 and the electronic unit 60, are provided. The electronics unit 60 can also control the corresponding locking system and communicate with a security system of the vehicle.

The above explanation of the embodiments describes the present invention exclusively in the context of examples. It goes without saying that individual features of the embodiments can be freely combined with one another, insofar as this makes technical sense, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
