Description

Method for producing a motor vehicle door The present invention relates to a method for producing a motor vehicle door according to the precharacterizing clause of Claim 1, to an application part according to the precharacterizing clause of Claim 13, to a door module according to the precharacterizing clause of Claim 14 and to a motor vehicle door according to the precharacterizing clause of Claim 15.

Motor vehicle doors and a method for producing same are described in various embodiments in the prior art. In particular, motor vehicle doors in which the motor vehicle lock is furthermore fastened to the motor vehicle door by a door module generally have a plurality of window guides for guiding the movement of a window pane, which is moveable between an open position and a closed position.

German Utility Model document DE 202009011302 describes a motor vehicle door with a window pane and with a door module. The motor vehicle door has a respective window guide on both sides of the window pane in the region of the window opening and, moreover, likewise has a respective window guide in the interior space of the motor vehicle door on both sides of the window pane. The window guides in the region of the window opening and in the interior door space are formed separately at least on the part of the door module. In the transition region and in particular when the window pane enters the window guide of the door module, a slight rotation of the window pane and a resulting higher loading of the window pane drive may occur. Moreover, occasionally, in particular when the pane is partially open, acoustic interfering noise may occur upon slamming of the motor vehicle door.

The invention is based on the problem of providing a method for producing a motor vehicle door, an application part, a door module and a motor vehicle door, which subject the window pane drive to less loading and further reduce acoustic interfering noise, in particular upon slamming of the motor vehicle door.

The above problem is solved in terms of method in the case of a method according to the precharacterizing clause of Claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part of Claim 1.

The fundamental consideration that the window pane can be guided better in the region between the window opening and the interior door space if a window guide is provided in continuous form, in the transition region between the window opening and the interior door space, is essential. This is achieved according to the invention in that a window guide which, in the mounted state of the motor vehicle door, guides the window pane over a portion of the window opening, is received, in a mounting step, by a window guide receptacle of the module carrier. A window guide which guides the window pane both in the region of the window opening and in the interior door space can furthermore thereby be fastened in the motor vehicle door in a simple manner.

This provides a continuous guidance of the window pane between the window opening and the interior door space. The transition region between window opening and interior door space is not provided with two separate window guides. The guidance of the window pane is improved as a whole and its tendency to turn when being moved upwards and downwards is reduced. As a result, the window pane drive is subjected to less loading.

In addition, it has been determined that, by this means, the damping behaviour of the window guide especially upon slamming of a motor vehicle door, in particular when the window is partially open, can be improved. Interfering noise which arises due to vibrations of the window pane as a consequence of the slamming can be effectively reduced.

According to the preferred method according to Claim 2, in a mounting step, the window guide is introduced into the interior door space from the region of the window opening. Introduction into the interior door space from the region of the window opening has proven to be simple in terms of mounting and in this respect constitutes a preferred refinement of the method.

The window guide is preferably received in the window guide receptacle by means of a relative movement of the door module, in particular with respect to the window guide and/or motor vehicle door, during the mounting of said door module on the motor vehicle door as such. Additionally or alternatively, the window guide can be received in the window guide receptacle by means of a relative movement of the window guide, in particular with respect to the window guide receptacle and/or motor vehicle door, during the mounting of the window guide rail on the motor vehicle door as such (Claim 3).

Here and preferably, the window guide is of continuous design along its longitudinal extent. The motor vehicle door preferably moreover has further window guides which furthermore preferably extend over a plurality of partial regions. The motor vehicle door preferably has further window guides on the same side of the pane. Here and preferably, the door module has a further window guide. Said window guide of the door module preferably continues the window guide received by the window guide receptacle. By this means, guidance of the window pane can be provided over the entire path of movement of the window pane (Claim 5).

According to a further teaching of the invention that obtains independent importance, the above-described object is achieved in the case of an application part according to the precharacterizing clause of Claim 13 by the feature of the characterizing part of Claim 13.

Owing to the fact that the window guide extends substantially along an edge of the basic body of the application part and beyond an end of the edge, it is possible also to guide the window pane in the region of the transition between the window opening and the interior door space. By this means, as already shown previously, better guidance of the motor vehicle door and therefore a lower loading of the window pane drive and improved acoustics upon slamming of the motor vehicle door result.

According to a further teaching that likewise obtains independent importance, the object described at the beginning is achieved in the case of a door module according to the precharacterizing clause of Claim 14 by the characterizing feature of Claim 14. Owing to the fact that the door module has a module carrier with a window guide for guiding the movement of a window pane, and a window guide receptacle for receiving a window guide, it is possible to receive a window guide from the region of the window opening in addition to the window guide of the module carrier. By this means, good guidance can also be ensured in the transition region between window opening and interior door space and therefore the loading of the window pane drive can be reduced. The damping behaviour of the window guide upon slamming of the motor vehicle door, and therefore the acoustics, are also improved.

According to a further teaching that likewise obtains independent importance, the above object is achieved in the case of a motor vehicle door according to the precharacterizing clause of Claim 15 by the features of the characterizing part of Claim 15. Owing to the fact that the window guide is at least partially received by the window guide receptacle and extends into the region of the window opening, better guidance of the window pane, and therefore a reduction in the loading of the window pane drive, is achieved in the transition region between the window opening and the interior door space. The acoustics are also improved by improved damping behaviour of the window guide upon slamming of the motor vehicle door.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing merely illustrating exemplary embodiments. In the drawing Fig. 1 shows a motor vehicle door according to the proposal in a three-dimensional view with an application part according to the proposal and with a door module according to the proposal, and a two-dimensional top view, in the view X, of an end side of the motor vehicle door, Fig. 2 shows a part of the motor vehicle door according to the proposal with the application part according to the proposal and the door module according to the proposal a) with a window guide received in the window guide receptacle, and b) before the window guide is received in the window guide receptacle, Fig. 3 shows an illustration of the door module with received window guide, and Fig. 4 shows an illustration of the door module without a window guide.

Fig. 1 shows a motor vehicle door 1 according to the proposal with a door frame 2, with a door module 3, with a window pane 4 and with a plurality of window guides 5, 6, 7.

In the mounted state of the motor vehicle door 1, the window pane 4 is moveable between an open position, in which the window pane 4 opens up a window opening 8 in the motor vehicle door 1, and a closed position, in which the window pane 4 closes the window opening 8. The movement is guided here and preferably by means of the window guides 5, 6, 7. In the mounted state of the motor vehicle door 1, the window guide 5 guides the window pane 4 over a portion A of the window opening 8.

Furthermore, the motor vehicle door 1 has an interior door space 9 below the window opening 8. Flere and preferably, in the mounted state of the motor vehicle door 1, the interior door space 9 is formed by a motor vehicle outside door skin 10, in particular an outside door panel, and a motor vehicle door interior trim 11, as shown in the view X in Fig. 1. "In the mounted state" should be understood as meaning that the motor vehicle door has been produced, but not necessarily that the latter has also been mounted on a motor vehicle.

The door module 3 is furthermore fastened to the motor vehicle door 1 in the interior door space 9, in particular to the door frame 2. The door module 3 has a module carrier 12 with a lock receptacle 13 for a motor vehicle lock 14 and a window guide receptacle 15 for receiving the window guide 5. The door module 3 preferably has a motor vehicle lock 14 received at the lock receptacle 13.

According to the invention, during the production of the motor vehicle door 1, in a mounting step the window guide 5 is received by the window guide receptacle 15. In particular, the window guide 5 and the window guide receptacle 15 are designed in such a manner that the window guide 5 enters for reception purposes into the window guide receptacle 15.

In the case of the motor vehicle door 1 of Fig. 1, the window guide 5 is, as a result, at least partially received by the window guide receptacle 15 and extends into the region of the window opening 8. By this means, in the mounted state of the motor vehicle door 1, window pane 4 is guided continuously from the region of the window opening 8 into the region of the interior door space 9. Here and preferably, the window guide 5 is therefore of continuous design, in particular in one piece. "Continuous" should be understood here as meaning without interruption.

In the mounted state of the motor vehicle door 1, the window guide 5 not only guides the window pane 4 over the portion A of the window opening 8, but also over a portion B in the interior door space 9. This improves the guidance of the window pane 4 and reduces the loading of a window pane drive (not shown). Furthermore, this results in an improvement in the damping behaviour of the window guide 5, in particular for the slamming of the motor vehicle door 1. The acoustics during the slamming are improved.

The window guide receptacle 15 receives the window guide 5 preferably over a length of at least 5 cm, preferably at least 10 cm, furthermore preferably at least 15 cm.
