Definitions

  • the invention relates to a door link system for motor vehicle doors arranged in the area below the belt line of the vehicle Door hinge joints, in particular are hinged to a door pillar, the door hinge joints being spaced vertically apart are and each one connected to the door pillar and one to the door or connectable joint half and where the two joint halves in each case by means of a hinge pin forming a hinge axis are interconnected.
  • Door linkages for motor vehicle doors traditionally each consist of a pair of hinges, each of the two hinges in turn consisting of two hinge halves and a hinge pin connecting them to one another.
  • the two hinges are designed to be detachable, either in such a way that the hinge pin is permanently seated and seated in one half of the hinge and can be fixed in a rotationally secure manner in the other half of the hinge by means of positive-locking means, for example according to GB-A-2 106 587 or EP-A-0 613 988 or in such a way that the hinge can be separated by removing the hinge pin, for example in the manner according to DE-C-36 06 813.
  • Hinge parts designed and used as part of the bodywork assembly are fundamentally disadvantageous in that they are rigid, that is to say immovable, and therefore make it extremely difficult or even impossible to fit or adjust the door in the door cutout of the bodywork.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of improving a system for the articulation of motor vehicle doors in such a way that, in comparison to individual hinges of the same quality and simple subsequent adjustment of the door with respect to the door opening of the vehicle body and at the same time detachable door linkage, the number of individual parts required is reduced and the assembly of the door linkage is simplified overall, and also integrate at least parts of other devices required in connection with the linkage of the door, in particular the door arrester, in such a way that the individual parts required for this and their assembly can also be dispensed with.
  • This task is based on a door link system of the type mentioned Design solved according to the invention in that the two joint halves at least one of the two sides, door pillar side and door side by one-cut Hinge halves formed and together with one the vertical Distance between the joint halves overlapping stop bar as a uniform Shaped part are formed, the hinge pin in each case in the door column side Half of the joint remains and with a running seat as well as against axial wandering stored securely and with the door-side hinge half over positive interlocking means is rotatably connectable.
  • connection according to the invention of the two joint halves to one another by means of a hinge bar even then brings a considerable Simplification of the installation of the door linkage if it is only one-sided, i.e. would be applied on the door pillar side or door side.
  • the hinge halves can reduce the number of fasteners previously required and at the same time adjusting the hinge halves to align the door with respect the door opening of the vehicle body or the alignment of the hinge axis not only made possible, but in particular also simplified.
  • the achievable benefits are much greater if the two Joint halves on both sides of the door pillar side and door side each by means of a Hinge bar are interconnected.
  • the invention can be used in detail using a wide variety of design methods both with regard to the starting materials to be used and also with regard to special individual configurations can be realized.
  • the two joint halves each by connected with a stop bar to a pre-assembled unit Hinge halves are formed by wing hinges, which are the two joint halves at least one side hinge halves of wing hinges expediently by means of welding with the in turn as an independent Part of the prefabricated stop bar to form a uniform and one-piece component are connected.
  • the two joint halves are each designed as a single molded part together with the stop bar that extends across the vertical distance between the joint halves.
  • a particularly light construction results from the fact that the two joint halves of at least one side, together with the stop bar spanning the vertical distance between the joint halves, are made of a lightweight construction material as a uniform casting, in particular an injection molding.
  • the two joint halves are each designed as a single forged part together with the stop bar extending across the vertical distance between the joint halves .
  • Both of the aforementioned design forms enable a material-saving design of the molded part in that the material distribution within the molded part should be chosen such that all non-load-bearing areas are slimmed down and only the force-transmitting areas are thickened in accordance with the forces to be transmitted.
  • the two halves of the joint join at least one side the stop bar spanning the vertical distance between the joint halves than through a sheet metal part from a one-piece and deformed Sheet material blank are formed.
  • the unified at least two joint halves and molded part comprising the stop bar one side, door pillar side and / or door side, with only two through openings for a fastener, especially a bolt. This reduces the total number of fasteners required on only two per side, which is not just a material saving and thus a reduction in weight but also a reduction in assembly effort brings with it.
  • a radial extension is formed on one of the two joint halves on the door side which is one of the two joint halves on the door pillar side when the door is suspended reaches under the operating swivel angle of the door.
  • a safety catch for detachable door linkages of the type in question here provided that on both the two joint halves on one side, door pillar side and door side and the stop bar comprising molded parts each a radial, transverse to the hinge or. Articulation axis of the door directed projection is formed, the two projections are designed so that they are each other when the door is hung, only reach over its operating pivot angle.
  • each the two joint halves on one side, door pillar side and / or door side as well molded parts comprising the stop bar are part of a door arrester, in particular a holder housing or a linkage for a door support rod forming bearing journal is formed in one piece.
  • This design offers the advantage that in the best case the holder housing including all attachments and internals can be arranged or pre-assembled on the molded part of one side and that at the same time the storage of the door support rod on the other molded part is prefabricated is, which increases the assembly effort for the door arrester, in any case then if it was not structurally combined with one of the door hinges Door arrester acts is reduced considerably.
  • this arrangement of a door arrester also on other types of Door locks are transmitted in an analogous manner.
  • a door 1 is attached to the body of a motor vehicle by means of a door linkage system 4 which is arranged in the region below the belt line 2 of the vehicle and comprises two door hinge joints 3 which are at a vertical distance from one another and can be pivoted about a substantially vertical door hinge axis.
  • the door linkage system 4 consists of a uniform molded part 5 assigned to the door pillar side, which comprises the joint halves of the two hinge joints 3 on the door pillar side and a stop bar 6 connecting them to one another and, in the embodiment shown, is formed from a one-piece sheet metal blank.
  • the hinge eyes 7 on the door pillar side are formed by rolling in flaps directed transversely to the longitudinal extension of the molded part 5 and equipped with bearing bushes (not shown in detail) made of a maintenance-free bearing material.
  • the door-side joint halves are formed by individual hinge wings 8, which are formed, for example, by length sections of a continuous hinge profile material.
  • the hinge halves on the door column side and the hinge side on the door side are each connected to one another by means of a hinge pin 9 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, is connected in a rotationally secure manner to the hinge wings 9 forming the hinge halves on the door side.
  • the molded part 5 is provided with two through bores 10 designed as an elongated hole for fastening means (not shown in the drawing) for connection to the door pillar. Furthermore, it can be seen from the illustration in FIG. 2 that a pin 11 for the articulation of a door holding rod 12 of a door retainer (not particularly shown in the drawing) is arranged on the molded part 5 that supports the joint halves on the door pillar side.
  • the door linkage system consists of two molded parts 50 and 60, each of which is uniform and each made as a casting from a lightweight construction material, each of which the two joint halves 70 or 70. 80 one side, door pillar side or door side and a stop bar 55 or 66 connecting the respective joint halves to one another.
  • the two joint halves 70 on the door pillar side are each designed as a single-section hinge half equipped with a hinge pin 90, which is mounted permanently in its hinge eye bores and secured with a sliding fit and secured against axial wandering.
  • the two hinge pins 90 can also be non-rotatably connected to the door-side hinge half when the door is hooked in by means of interlocking means 20. From the illustration in FIG.
  • each of the two molded parts is provided with two through bores 26, each designed as an elongated hole, for fastening means (not shown in the drawing) for connection to the door pillar or the door body.
  • the through holes are formed on at least one of the molded parts so that the door can be aligned in at least one plane in order to be able to adjust the door gap.
  • the joint halves including the hinge eyes, together with their roots have a material cross section that is sufficient only for supporting the forces of the door articulation resulting from the respective joint, and the area of the molded part that forms the attachment strip is thin-walled except for reinforcement of the fastening bores and optionally two longitudinal stiffening ribs.
