Description
Boot lid
Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an automobile boot lid and in particular an arrangement for powered opening and closing of an automobile boot lid,
Background to the hivention
Powered boot lids allow a boot (also known as a "trunk") of an automobile to be opened and closed without effort.
For example, in certain luxury automobiles, the hinges which attach the boot lid to the automobile are each powered by a mechanism inside the boot, located at the sides, which opens and closes the boot lid in response to an electrical signal. This arrangement is neat and no dirty parts are exposed. however, such mechanisms are complex and occupy space at the sides of the boot, which is at a premium, especially if the motor vehicle in question has a folding roof already occupying space at the rear of the vehicle.
Lateral space (i.e. space between the sides of the automobile) may be considered as more important than vertical space or longitudinal space (i.e. space in the front-rear direction) as it is often considered important that a set (or a plurality of sets) of golf clubs can fit into the boot of a car and they are substantially longer in one dimension than two others.
Powered struts, which are generally simpler and cheaper than powered hinges, have been proposed for opening and closing tailgates, but these tend to be heavier and bulkier than the mechanism discussed above. For example, W02009/03 143 discloses a drive device for displacing a motor vehicle side door, hatch door (or "tailgate") or trunk lid. Similarly, U58403397 discloses an adjustable tailgate support which preferably has an electric spindle drive. In W02009/03 143, a drive device is shown attached in the interior of the vehicle attached to one side of the vehicle, whereas in US8403397, supports are provided on both sides of the tailgate, and they are disposed in channels formed in the body between the interior and the exterior of the vehicle. Extension of these struts opens the tailgate/hatch door, which opens in an arc about the hinges, swinging outward then upward.
Certain disadvantages are associated with both of these arrangements. Having the strut inside the vehicle as shown in W02009/03 143 can cause dirt/grease from the spindle to be transferred to items placed behind the hatch-door in the boot-space. Also, since only one powered strut is provided and since it is located at the side of the door, it must be relatively powerthl to lift the door. Moreover, the hinges must be strong to withstand the force being applied only on one side.
On the other hand, in US8403 397 whilst providing channels in the body ofthe car between the interior and the exterior will reduce the possibility of dirtying/damaging items put into the boot-space, it requires extra working of the body and of course, the provision of two struts, each with separate mounts on the door and the body of the vehicle increases the amount of space required, complexity and cost. Moreover, since the struts are in a channel rather than completely within the interior, they are more likely to get dirty or wet.
In both cases, the struts are visible in use and can potentially obstruct attempts to put items inside the boot-space. Moreover the mechanism is exposed during opening/closing and therefore can be noisy.
Summary of the Invention
According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a boot lid comprising a centrally mounted drive mechanism operable to move the boot lid between a closed position and an open position.
By mounting the drive mechanism centrafly, rather than at the sides, the provision of two separate mechanisms is not necessary and still the force is not asymmetrical, so the strut need not be so powerful, nor the hinges so strong. Accordingly cost may be reduced.
Furthermore, since the central part of the boot lid is easily accessible compared to the inner sides of the boot, assembly is easier than the powered hinges discussed above.
The drive mechanism may be mounted in the central third ofthe width of the boot lid. Mounting in this central region is useful for the reasons set out above.
The drive mechanism may be mounted in the central fifth of the boot lid. This even more central area is more useful still.
The drive mechanism may be mounted substantially along the centreline of the boot lid and/or the drive mechanism may be mounted substantially along the centre of mass of the boot lid. This precise alignment achieves an ideal balance with half the weight on each side.
The drive mechanism may be an actuator, such as a powered strut, especially a spindle drive, The drive mechanism may be a pair of actuators mounted in tandem. The pair of actuators may be disposed symmetrically about the centreline ofthebootlid, or its centre of mass. Although normally the use ofjust one drive mechanism will result in a cheaper and smaller mechanism, in some cases the use of twin actuators may allow the use of less bulky, less powerful mechanisms, which may be substantially cheaper and may take up less vertical space in the boot. Alternatively the drive mechanism may be one and only one actuator.
The boot lid may comprise a cover covering the drive mechanism. This conceals the mechanism, e.g. the spindle drive. The use of a cover can also obviate the potential problem, discussed in relation to W02009/03143, of grease/dirt from the drive mechanism being transferred to items in the boot. The cover may also cover the internal surface of the boot lid, The cover may comprise carpet. Covers, often comprising carpet are normally part ofthe specification for the internal surface of a boot lid, accordingly by using this existing component to achieve the additional benefit, additional cost is avoided.
The drive mechanism may comprise a motor, which is located under the carpet.
This will reduce the noise generated by the drive mechanism, The drive mechanism may be telescopic and may be in the form of a telescopic tubular portion surrounded by a sleeve, which extends relative to the sleeve, and the IS telescopic tubular portion may be coupled to the motor, such that when the mechanism is driven, the telescopic tubular portion extends outside the cover, but the sleeve remains underneath the cover, This arrangement means that the drive mechanism, e.g a spindle, which may be lubricated on its outer surface, remains beneath the cover avoiding dirtying items in the boot, One end ofthe actuator may be mounted to the boot lid with a bracket, The other end of the actuator may be mounted to a drain channel by a bracket, An automobile may comprise a boot lid as set out above.
S
The automobile may comprise a retractable roof As set out above, the issue of boot-space is particularly pertinent to open-top automobiles, with retractable roofs.
Detailed Description of the Invention
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, embodiments thereof will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which: Figure 1 shows a rear view of an automobile having a boot lid according to a first embodiment of the invention, in which the boot lid is shown in an open position; Figure 2 shows a cross sectional view of the boot lid of figure 1 in the open position; Figure 3 shows a cross sectional view of the boot lid of figures 1 and 2 in the closed position; and Figure 4 shows a rear view of the body shell of an automobile having a boot lid according to a second embodiment of the invention, with the boot lid IS again in the open position.
Refening to figure l,an automobile 100 is shown with its boot lid 110 open. The boot lid 110 is attached by hinges 120 tothe body of the automobile 100 (only one hinge is shown, positioned towards the lefi hand side of the boot lid, but normally a second hinge would also be provided, disposed in a similar position on the right hand side ofthe boot lid, A drive mechanism t30 is shown, disposed along the centreline of the boot lid 0 and partially covered by a cover 140, which forms part of the inner trim, or carpet 150, of the boot lid 110. The rearward facing portion of a drain channel 160 extends laterally across the body of the automobile 100. In the open position, the drive mechanism 130 extends generally vertically (i.e. perpendicular to the surface on which the automobile 100 is parked).
A first mounting bracket 170 for the drive mechanism 130 is disposed at the centre of the drain channel 160 such that the drive mechanism 130 extends under the cover 140. The first mounting bracket 170 is positioned along the centreline of the automobile tOO, which corresponds to the centreline of the boot lid. In this embodiment, the weight distribution of the boot lid is evenly spread either side ofthe centre line, sothe first mounting bracket 70 is in line with the centre of balance of the boot lid 110.
The mechanism is shown in greater detail in figure 2, in which it can also be seen that the boot lid 110 is generally L-shaped and formed of two skins, an inner skin 190, on which the latch mechanism 200 and hinges (not shown in figure 2) are mounted and an outer skin 195 which forms external surface of the vehicle. The hinge axis is marked "X". It is to the inner skin 190 that a second mounting bracket 210 is attached. The drive mechanism 130 is pivotally connected at one end to the first mounting bracket t70 via a first pivot 220 and at the other end to the second mounting bracket 210 via a second pivot 230. The second mounting bracket 2t0 is also located along the centreline of the boot, which is its centre ofgravity. Accordingly, the drive mechanism extends alongthe centre of gravity of the boot ensuring an even weight distribution to either side.
Similarly to the boot lid 110, it can be seen that in this particular embodiment, the drain channel 160, has a two-skin construction, with an outer skin 240 which has a U-shaped profile and operates as a drain diverting rain water away from the boot, and an inner skin 245, which also has a U-shaped profile with forward and rearward facing portions connected by a generally horizontal portion. The first mounting bracket 170 is attached to the rearward facing portion of the inner skin 245. A tonneau 250 (when the automobile 100 is a soft-top) or body panel (when the automobile 100 is a hard-top) sits above the drain channel 160.
Turning to the description of the drive mechanism 130, a telescopic tubular portion 290 can be seen in figure 2 to extend through an aperture 260 behind the cover to the first mounting bracket 170, where it is pivotally connected to the first mounting bracket 170. The telescopic tubular portion 290 is driven by a drive apparatus, e.g. an electrically powered spindle, or a hydraulic or pneumatic ram (not shown) so as to telescopically extend or retract from a tubular sleeve 300, which sits within the housing and is pivotally attached to the second mounting bracket 210.
Figure 3 shows the boot lid of figures t and 2 in the closed configuration. In the closed position, which is adopted when the vehicle is driven, it can be seen that the generally L-shaped boot lid comprises two portions, one top portion, which is disposed generally horizontally (i.e. parallel to the surface on which the vehicle is parked), and a back portion, which is disposed generally vertically (i.e. perpendicular to the surface on which the vehicle is parked) these portions are normally formed from a single sheet of e.g. metal, but may be considered to be joined in the corner of the "L" shape. The second mount 210, mentioned above, is attached to the boot lid in the corner region.
To move from the open configuration shown in figures 1 and 2 to the closed configuration shown in figure 3, the drive apparatus is driven (in response to an inputvia a button e.g. on an infrared fob which corresponds with the ECU of the vehicle), which causes the telescopic tubular portion 290 to retract into the tubular sleeve 300. This action brings the first mount 170 and the second mount 2 0 closer together and by virtue of the offset between the axis of the pivot 220 of the first mount 170 and the hinge axis X, the boot lid is pulled in an arc around the hinge axis, first backwards then downwards.
Eventually, the boot lid 110 reaches its closed position and the latch mechanism 200 is actuated.
Opening the boot follows the same process in reverse. Again an input (e.g. via a button) is provided which results in the latch mechanism 200 opening and the drive apparatus being powered. This extends the telescopic tubular portion 290, increasingthe distance between the first mount 170 and second mount 210 and thereby opening the boot lid 110. On opening the lid, an initially generally horizontal force is required to produce an initially generally vertical movement, This stage of the opening process is the most demanding of the drive apparatus (e.g. a motor) in view of the generally horizontal disposition of the drive mechanism 130.
Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of the invention, in which a heavier boot lid 310 is provided on the body shell of an automobile 320. In this example, the boot lid 3 tO is provided with a pair of centrally mounted spindle drives 330, 340, each mounted towards the centre of the boot lid 310, by brackets (not shown) on the drain channel 350 ofthe automobile 320. The pair of spindle drives 330, 340 forming the drive mechanism can be seen to be mounted in the central third of the boot lid (as measured at its widest part) and mounted symmetrically about the centreline of the boot. Once again, covers 360, 370, formed in the boot trim 380 cover part of the spindle drives 330,340, and the mechanisms work in tandem, in exactly the same way as the drive mechanism 130 discussed in relation to the first embodiment, to open and close the boot lid 310.
The above embodiments are described by way of example only. Many variations are possible without departing from the scope ofthe invention as defined in the appended claims. l0
