Definitions
- the invention relates to a motor vehicle locking device, in particular a motor vehicle lock and preferably a motor vehicle hood lock, with a locking mechanism consisting essentially of a rotary latch and a pawl, and with a triggering element for lifting out the pawl, the locking mechanism initially being in a pre-locking position by lifting out the pawl after the pawl is acted upon again, it assumes an open position, and for this purpose the pawl has a link pin which interacts with a link on the rotary latch.
- Motor vehicle locking devices generally refer to locking devices on or in motor vehicles, with the help of which, for example, flaps, doors, seats, etc. can be locked.
- motor vehicle locks and in particular motor vehicle hood locks, i.e. motor vehicle locks with the help of which, in particular, hoods, doors or flaps on or in motor vehicles are locked against the motor vehicle body.
- motor vehicle hood locks refer to, for example, motor vehicle locks on front hoods or tailgates.
- Such motor vehicle hood locks which are used, for example, in connection with locking a motor vehicle front hood or a motor vehicle tailgate, are usually opened from the interior of an associated motor vehicle.
- a Bowden cable ending in the interior of the motor vehicle can work on a release lever as a trigger element and ensure the unlocking or opening of the associated motor vehicle hood lock.
- the actuating device used at this point can be a handle or a loop act manually. In principle, however, an electromotive action on the release lever or release element is also possible and is included in the invention.
- motor vehicle hood locks can generally be opened in the manner described, they are only opened a gap by spring force and for safety reasons. This is necessary and necessary, for example, in the event of incorrect actuation of the actuating device while driving, to prevent the motor vehicle front hood from completely swinging open, which can lead to a dangerous obstruction of the driver's visibility.
- the motor vehicle hood is completely opened from this gap position as a rule and in practice using a catch lever, which for this purpose must be pivoted by an operator while the associated motor vehicle is at a standstill. Only then will the hood or front hood finally be released.
- the catch lever in question encompasses or extends over the locking bolt attached to the motor vehicle front hood.
- Such a catch lever and the associated mechanics are unnecessary if, when unlocking the motor vehicle lock in question, it is ensured or can be ensured that the unlocking, for example, reliably assumes the pre-locking position of the locking mechanism.
- the opening can then be accomplished by manually pivoting the pawl out of this pre-locking position on the rotary latch and thereby opening the motor vehicle front hood as a whole.
- the prerequisite for this is that you safely assume the pre-locking position.
- the generic state of the art according to DE 103 61 186 B4 is about a motor vehicle lock and in particular a motor vehicle lock.
- Hood lock in which a so-called snow load function is to be implemented. This snow load function means that if the hood in question is loaded with snow, the hood will not open into the gap position even if the pawl is lifted from its engagement with the rotary latch using the trigger element. Because of the snow load, the hood in question may be inadvertently closed again.
- the teaching mentioned proposes a motor vehicle lock and in particular a motor vehicle hood lock, in which an effective latching connection with a latching connecting element and a latching connecting counter element is realized between the rotary latch and the pawl.
- the latching connection element can be brought into latching engagement with the latching connection counter element in the main closed position. An out-of-lock engagement is observed in the direction of the open position.
- a relatively complicated mechanism is provided because the latching connecting element is arranged or designed on a spring arm on the pawl lying in a plane laterally next to the rotary latch.
- the pawl or the rotary latch is assigned a tracking lever, through which a locking surface or a counter-locking surface can be tracked in such a way that the rotary latch pivots over a defined pivot angle in the opening direction, without the locking surface and the counter-locking surface coming out of engagement . This is intended to counteract the development of noise during an opening process.
- a hood lock that the release lever is used to unlock a main catch of the rotary latch with its The first locking tooth lifted pawl interacts with its second locking tooth with the main catch of the rotary latch for positive guidance of the pawl and blocking the preliminary catch of the rotary latch during the opening process of the locking mechanism. This ensures that the pre-locking position is safely assumed during unlocking.
- a double actuation or a so-called double stroke of the release lever is required. This has fundamentally proven itself to ensure that the known motor vehicle lock, on the one hand, safely assumes the pre-locking position and, on the other hand, can then be opened starting from the pre-locking position by pivoting the pawl again.
- the present invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a motor vehicle locking device in such a way that while maintaining the functionality described, i.e. H. safe assumption of the pre-locking position, a structurally simple and compact structure is observed.
- a generic motor vehicle locking device is characterized in the context of the invention in that the pawl, in addition to the link pin already described, also has a guide pin that interacts with an outer contour of the rotary latch.
- the pawl is equipped with two pins, namely the link pin that interacts with the link on the rotary latch on the one hand and additionally the guide pin, which interacts with the outer contour of the rotary latch on the other hand.
- an opening process of the motor vehicle locking device according to the invention can be realized and implemented in a particularly simple manner, with the pre-locking position being initially safely assumed in accordance with the teaching of WO 2021/190684 A1. Only after another one Acting on the trigger element to lift out the pawl causes the pre-locking position of the locking mechanism to be canceled and the locking mechanism then assumes its open position or opening position.
- the otherwise usual and obligatory catch lever can usually be dispensed with and the motor vehicle locking device according to the invention can be opened both manually and by electric motor.
- the shape of the two pins on the pawl corresponds to a particularly compact structure.
- the setting on the rotary latch is designed as a setting recess into which the setting pin is inserted. Accordingly, there is an at least partial overlap (in supervision) between the pawl and the rotary latch, thereby promoting the desired compact structure.
- the design is often such that the link pin and the guide pin are arranged on an associated link arm and guide arm of the pawl.
- the two pins are preferably located at the ends of the associated arm.
- the design is usually such that the two arms with the associated pin enclose an acute angle between them.
- the two arms can each be arranged with the pins opposite a bearing recess in the pawl.
- the procedure is usually such that the two arms with the pins run largely radially in comparison to an axis of rotation of the pawl.
- the axis of rotation of the pawl is defined by the fact that a bearing pin is inserted into the bearing recess of the pawl, which in this way defines the axis of rotation in question. Consequently, the two arms with the pins also run largely radially in comparison to the bearing recess or the bearing pin in question.
- the link recess is usually equipped with at least one pre-locking stop in order to ensure the correct and safe assumption of the pre-locking position or pre-locking position of the locking mechanism according to the invention.
- pre-locking stops arranged offset from one another are provided at this point.
- the two pre-locking stops can be radially offset in relation to an axis of rotation of the rotary latch. In this way, it is possible for the two pre-locking stops to separate a pre-locking passage and an opening passage of the link recess from one another.
- the link pin of the pawl initially moves along the pre-locking passage, until the link pin reaches one of the two pre-locking stops.
- the design is such that the link pin in question moves against the first pre-locking stop, which is located radially on the outside compared to the axis of rotation of the rotary latch inside the link recess.
- the link pin usually moves against the second pre-locking stop, which is located radially on the inside compared to the axis of rotation of the rotary latch. This is usually done by a spring that presses the pawl into its closed position.
- the pawl can, starting from the second and radially inner pre-locking stop inside the link recess, dip into the opening passage of the link recess and along this opening passage move up to an opening stop.
- This is ensured by the spring force acting on the rotary latch in the opening direction.
- This spring force may come from a spring assigned to the rotary latch and biased in the opening direction and/or result from spring forces that are built up by door rubber sealing forces.
- both the link pin and the guide pin are typically designed as folds on the pawl and can therefore be easily defined during a shaping process of the pawl also contributes to this.
- the pawl is punched out and then or simultaneously bent with regard to the two pins.
- High-strength steel is usually used as the material.
- the rotary latch which is also made of high-strength steel and only needs to be equipped with the link recess to adapt to the invention. This can be easily inserted into the rotary latch during a punching process.
- a motor vehicle locking device that is compact and functionally reliable.
- the interaction of the link pin with the link recess on the one hand and the guide pin with the outer contour of the rotary latch on the other hand ensures that the link pin inside the link recess initially covers the pre-locking passage up to one or two pre-locking stops completed. Following this and when the trigger element is acted upon a second time, the link pin can then pass into the opening passage of the link recess. This is also ensured by the guide pin resting on the outer contour of the rotary latch. This is where the main advantages can be seen.
- Figures 1 to 3 show the motor vehicle locking device according to the invention during an opening process starting from the main closed position up to the first pre-locking stop arranged radially on the outside,
- Fig. 4 shows the transition to the second pre-locking stop
- Fig. 5 shows the path of the link pin along the opening passage
- Fig. 6 shows the fully open position with the system in place
- the figures show a motor vehicle locking device, which in the exemplary embodiment is a motor vehicle lock and preferably a motor vehicle hood lock.
- a locking mechanism 1, 2 essentially consisting of a rotary latch 1 and a pawl 2.
- a locking bolt 3 can be seen in the figures, which is caught by the rotary latch 1 in the main closed position or main locking position according to FIG. 1 and is released in the open position according to FIG. 6.
- the locking bolt 3 is inserted into an inlet mouth 4 of the rotary latch 1 recorded, which in turn defines the inlet mouth 4 in question with two fork-shaped arms, namely a stop arm 1a and a catch arm 1b.
- a trigger element 5 which is only indicated, is provided for lifting out the pawl 2.
- the trigger element 5 works on the pawl 2 in such a way that the pawl 2 is acted upon to open about its axis 6 in the counterclockwise direction indicated in FIG in relation to the axis or axis of rotation 6.
- the triggering element 5 can be acted upon manually by actuating the triggering element 5 using a handle via a Bowden cable (not shown) or another flexible connecting element.
- a Bowden cable not shown
- an electric motor actuation of the trigger element 5 is also conceivable.
- a double-stroke actuation is used, namely by first simply pivoting the pawl 2 counterclockwise about its axis of rotation 6 through a first stroke, until the pre-locking position corresponding to FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 has been reached is.
- the pawl 2 has a link pin 2a which interacts with a link 8 on the rotary latch 1.
- another guide pin 2b is also realized on the pawl 2, which, in contrast, interacts with an outer contour 1c, 1d of the rotary latch 1.
- both pins 2a, 2b are each manufactured and realized in that the pawl 2 punched out and the relevant pins 2a, 2b are defined by folding the arms belonging to the ends.
- the link 8 on the rotary latch 1 is designed as a link recess 8, into which the link pin 2a is immersed. It can be seen that the link recess 8 can be divided overall into a pre-locking passage 8a and an opening passage 8b, which will be explained in more detail below.
- the link pin 2a and the guide pin 2b are arranged on an associated link arm and guide arm of the pawl 2, each at the end.
- the two arms with the end pins 2a, 2b enclose an acute angle a between them, which is only indicated in FIG.
- the design is such that the two arms with the pins 2a, 2b are each arranged opposite a bearing recess in the pawl 2 that defines the axis or axis of rotation 6.
- the design is such that the two arms with the respective end pins 2a, 2b run largely radially in comparison to the axis of rotation 6 of the pawl 2 in question.
- the link recess 8 is equipped with at least one pre-locking stop 9, 10.
- two pre-locking stops 9, 10 are realized, namely the first pre-locking stop 9 and the second pre-locking stop 10.
- the first pre-locking stop 9 is arranged radially on the outside in comparison to the axis or axis of rotation 11 of the rotary latch 1
- the second pre-locking stop 10 experiences an arrangement realized radially on the inside in comparison to the axis of rotation 11 of the rotary latch 1.
- the two pre-locking stops 9, 10 are radially offset in relation to the axis of rotation 11 of the rotary latch 1. In this way it happens that the two pre-locking stops 9, 10 taken together are already in place Separate the mentioned pre-latching passage 8a from the opening passage 8b for the link pin 2a of the pawl 2.
- 1 shows the locking mechanism 1, 2 in its main closed position or main locking position. If, starting from this main closed position, the trigger element 5 is acted upon to lift or pivot the pawl 2 in a counterclockwise direction about the axis 6, this leads to the link pin 2a within the pre-locking passage 8a initially also pivoting in the counterclockwise direction about its axis of rotation 6, and in the position corresponding to Fig. 2.
- the rotary latch 1 - acted upon by spring forces in the counterclockwise direction about its axis or axis of rotation 11 - can now pivot until the link pin 2a reaches the first pre-locking stop 9, as shown in Fig. 3.
- the nose 1c of the rotary latch 1 represents a component of the outer contour 1c, 1d.
