Definitions
- the present invention relates to a windshield wiper device for a motor vehicle with a wiper motor and at least one wiper bearing, in which a wiper shaft is mounted, which is driven for actuating a wiper arm connected to the wiper shaft by the wiper motor, wherein the wiper bearing is supported on the wiper motor by a connecting element which is connected at its one end region with a retaining element formed on the wiper bearing.
- Windscreen wiper devices of this type are known and are used in motor vehicles as front or rear wiper.
- the windshield wiper devices include a wiper motor and at least one wiper bearing.
- a wiper shaft which can be driven by the wiper motor to actuate a wiper arm connected to the wiper shaft, is mounted in the wiper bearing.
- the wiper bearing is supported on the wiper motor by a mostly tubular connection element, which is pushed at its one end region onto a bearing journal formed on the wiper bearing and is usually connected in a form-fitting manner by a crimp connection to the bearing journal.
- a disadvantage of this design is that during the crimping process, the components to be fixed together are exposed to large deformation forces to produce a positive connection between the bearing pin and the connecting element.
- the connecting element also areas of the material of the journal are plastically deformed. This can have the consequence that the material of the bearing pin is exposed to great stress, especially in the area of the crimping of the connection partners, which can lead to impairments of the material structure up to material fatigue.
- DE 10 2010 029 105 A1 proposes to form crimping pockets on two opposite side regions of the trunnion whose geometrical dimensions substantially correspond to the dimensions of the crimping tools.
- the connecting element is in the crimp pockets overlapping areas from the outside via crimping Tools deformed inside in the Crimptaschen so that a positive connection of the connecting element with the bearing pin is formed.
- the connecting element is plastically deformed during crimping with the bearing pin.
- the crimped components are permanently connected to each other and can not be separated if necessary or only with great effort.
- the implementation of the crimping process in a mass production of windshield wiper devices is cost-intensive due to the high cost of the crimping machines.
- the present invention provides a windshield wiper device of the type mentioned, in which the holding element is cup-shaped and surrounds the pointing to the wiper bearing end portion of the connecting element at least over a peripheral portion, wherein the mutually contacting surfaces of the holding element and the connecting element at least have a projection and at least one recess corresponding to the projection, which engage with each other in a form-fitting manner, when the connecting element is inserted or inserted into the holding element.
- the invention is therefore based on the consideration not to crimp the holding element and the connecting element, but to provide projections and corresponding indentations on the contact surfaces of the two components, which engage with each other in a form-fitting manner when the connecting element is inserted or inserted into the holding element ,
- An advantage of this embodiment is that the two components can be solved again in case of need from each other and further need not be plastically deformed, the retaining element and the connecting element to connect them.
- the number of projections and the corresponding recesses and their arrangement in the connecting region of the two components can be varied according to the expected loads during operation of the windshield wiper device.
- the number of projections and the indentations can be increased in order to improve the stability of the connection between the holding element and the connecting element.
- the mutually contacting surfaces of the holding element and the connecting element may have a plurality of projections offset in a circumferential direction of the connecting element and projections corresponding to the projections. This increases the stability of the connection between the holding element and the connecting element.
- the at least one projection on the inner surface of the holding element and the at least one indentation on the outer surface of the connecting element may be formed. This enables a simple production of the individual components, since the indentations on the connecting element and the projections on the retaining element can be impressed from the outside to the inside.
- the at least one projection and the at least one indentation may have a circular contour.
- the holding element can completely surround the end region of the connecting element facing the wiper bearing and have an inner contour that is substantially complementary to the outer contour of the connecting element.
- the at least partially planar contact between the retaining element and the connecting element generates a particularly resilient positive connection between the two components. So that the connecting element can be pushed into the receiving space formed by the holding element, at least one of the two components must be elastically deformable.
- the holding element and the connecting element may consist of materials having different moduli of elasticity, in which case the component with the lower modulus of elasticity is elastically deformed during insertion of the connecting element.
- the wiper bearing made of a plastic and the connecting element can be made of a metal, in particular steel, or aluminum or zinc die-cast.
- the holding element surrounds the wiper bearing facing end portion of the connecting element, leaving an open peripheral area only partially and a clamping element is provided to fix the connecting element to the holding element.
- the connecting element is simply placed in the holding element, wherein the at least one projection with the corresponding indentation is positively engaged.
- the connecting element is held by the clamping element on the retaining element releasably fixed. It is exploited that act in operation forces substantially in the longitudinal direction of the connecting element on the connection between the holding element and the connecting element. These are received by the positive connection and the clamping element holds the connection between the holding element and the connecting element against the loading direction of the connecting element together. Accordingly simple, the clamping element can be formed.
- the components can also be made of materials with a high modulus of elasticity.
- the holding element surrounds the connecting element over a circumferential region of about 70 ° to 100 °, in particular about 90 °.
- it may be approximately L-shaped. This allows a simple and inexpensive production of the retaining element.
- the clamping element may be formed as a clamping spring, in particular a C- or U-shaped clamping spring, which at least partially surrounds the open peripheral region of the connecting element, wherein an end portion of the clamping element is fixed to the holding element and the other end portion of the connecting element.
- the clamping element can completely surround the open peripheral region of the connecting element, in which case both end regions of the clamping element are fixed to the holding element.
- the clamping element may be formed as a clamping sleeve, which is slidable over the retaining element and the connecting element in the connecting region thereof, in order to fix the connecting element to the retaining element.
- the clamping sleeve is first pushed over the connecting element before inserting the connecting element in the holding element. After the connecting element is inserted into the holding element, the clamping sleeve is pressed onto the wiper bearing-pipe connection. In this way, a secure and resilient connection is achieved, which is easily solvable again.
- the inner contour of the clamping sleeve is formed approximately corresponding to the outer contour resulting from the end region of the connecting element and the retaining element. As a result, the clamping action of the clamping sleeve is reinforced.
- the holding element and / or the connecting element and / or the clamping element can be connected to each other by additional fastening means, in particular screwed and / or riveted.
- the connecting element may be tubular. It is advantageous that the tubular shape ensures sufficient stability for the loads occurring in a windshield wiper device and thus the connecting element can be formed very easily.
