Definitions
- the invention relates to a lock assembly, with a catch consisting of a rotary latch and locking means for locking a striker of the lock assembly.
- the locking means has a toggle lever arrangement, the toggle lever arrangement being biased at its dead center with a spring element.
- the striker In a closed position of the lock assembly, the striker is at least partially enclosed by a recess in the rotary latch. In an open position, the striker lies against the rotary latch without being enclosed by the recess in the rotary latch.
- a first lever arm of the toggle lever arrangement is, on the one hand, articulated to a lock housing of the lock assembly via a first swivel joint and, on the other hand, is connected to a second lever arm of the toggle lever arrangement via a second swivel joint. The second lever arm is connected to the rotary latch via a third swivel joint.
- Lock assemblies are used in the automotive sector to lock things like side doors, tailgates, hoods or folding seat backs. But lock assemblies are also used in other areas to lock folding elements to a counter element.
- a lock assembly usually consists of at least one striker, a rotary latch and a locking element.
- the striker When the lock assembly is in the open position, the striker can be moved relative to the rotary latch and the flap element connected to the striker can be opened.
- the flap element When the flap element is closed, the striker is moved into a recess in the rotary latch, whereupon the rotary latch, which is rotatably mounted on a lock housing, is rotated and the recess encloses the striker at least in sections.
- the locking means is then in engagement with the rotary latch, preventing the rotary latch from turning back. In this position, the movement of the striker for opening the flap element is inhibited.
- an upstream pre-locking position can also be provided in the locked state.
- the locking means is formed by a toggle lever arrangement.
- Such lock assemblies are known, for example, from WO 2015/032383 A2 or DE 44 46 464 A1.
- DE 44 46 464 A1 describes a lock assembly with a catch consisting of a rotary latch and locking means for locking a striker of the lock assembly.
- the locking means has a toggle lever arrangement which is biased in its dead positions with a spring element.
- a first lever arm of the toggle lever arrangement is, on the one hand, articulated to the lock housing via a first swivel joint and, on the other hand, is connected to a second lever arm of the toggle lever arrangement via a second swivel joint.
- the second lever arm is in turn connected to the rotary latch via a third swivel joint.
- the striker In a closed position of the lock assembly, the striker is at least partially enclosed by a recess in the rotary latch and thus its movement is inhibited.
- the striker In an open position, the striker is released by the rotary latch.
- a helical spring is provided at the articulation of the first lever arm on the lock housing, which drives the movement of the toggle lever arrangement when its unstable positions are exceeded.
- lock assemblies In practice, however, it has been shown that such lock assemblies often tend to rattle, as the locking bracket is usually enclosed by the recess of the rotary latch with a certain amount of play.
- an additional assembly must be provided as a closing aid for the automatic closing of the lock assembly. However, this is often not possible due to the limited installation space.
- additional assemblies increase the cost of a lock assembly.
- the object of the invention is to provide a lock assembly which provides play compensation between the locking bracket and the rotary latch in the closed position and further provides a closing aid without further assemblies.
- the third swivel joint can be moved in an elongated hole or a control link of the rotary latch.
- the lock assembly assumes an intermediate position in which the striker is already at least partially enclosed by the recess of the rotary latch and a stop of the first lever arm rests in a counter-stop of the rotary latch. Furthermore, in the intermediate position, a cam mechanism formed between a section of the rotary latch and a section of the first lever arm engages.
- the third swivel joint is driven by the spring element acting on the toggle lever arrangement and, guided by the cam gear, is displaced in the elongated hole or the control link of the rotary latch.
- the rotary latch is rotated further in the lock assembly according to the invention until the striker is fixed between an upper edge of the recess of the rotary latch and an edge of the lock housing. This achieves a balance between the striker and the rotary latch in the closed position.
- the spring element holds the third swivel joint in the slot or the control link in the displaced position.
- the backlash compensation can be scaled to the respective application via the length of the elongated hole or the dimensions of the control link in the rotary latch and the shape of the cam gear.
- the lock assembly according to the invention is characterized by a reduction in components and thus by a compact and weight-optimized design.
- the backlash compensation is effective through the preload force of the spring; the closed position is achieved through the geometric design of the swivel joints as a dead center lock.
- the design as a flat control gate (shaped recess in the rotary latch for the movable accommodation of the third rotary joint) also offers the possibility of moving the third rotary joint and influencing the opening and closing characteristics.
- Force-displacement characteristics can be specifically influenced by the control gate, e.g. non-linear angular velocity of the rotary latch during the closing process).
- the lock assembly according to the invention can be installed in the application in such a way that the locking bracket is fixed to the flap element (e.g. rear hatch of a vehicle) and the lock housing is attached to a base (e.g. vehicle body).
- a base e.g. vehicle body
- the lock housing is fixed to the flap element (e.g. rear hatch of a vehicle) and the locking bracket is attached to the base (e.g. vehicle body).
- One embodiment provides that the first lever arm is connected to a manual actuating element.
