Abstract

The invention relates to a lock that can be used with a flap, comprising a rotary unit that is made up of a rotary spagnolet that interacts with a closing element (10) and a rotating latch (22). In order to improve operational performance, the rotary unit is provided with a rigid catch (23) that preferably has two counter shoulders running in opposite directions. The output member (35) of a motor (40)-driven gear mechanism is also provided with two corresponding counter shoulders. This enables the motor to provide assistance with closing and, optionally, opening, whereby the rotary unit can be guided in a closing, tilting direction or an opening, tilting direction until the flap is fully closed or opened. The motor (40) comprises a gear mechanism with a group of gears that can be displaced between an engaged position and a separated position. The detent pawl (16) which interacts with the rotating latch (22) is disabled in the separated position, should an emergency arise. When the flap is in a closed or open position, a free area exists between the shoulders and counter shoulders, enabling the flap to be moved manually.

Das in den Figuren dargestellte Schloß wird vorzugsweise bei einer Klappe verwendet, die zu einem Handschuhfach gehört. Dazu sind in Fig. 1 schematisch die bewegliche Klappe 11 und die ruhende Facheinfassung 12 angedeutet. Im vorliegenden Fall trägt die bewegliche Klappe 11 ein Gestell mit einem hier als Bolzen mit rundem Querschnitt ausgebildeten Schließteil 10, während die Facheinfassung 12 ein Schloßgehäuse 19 sitzt, aus welchem ein mit dem Schließteil 10 zusammenwirkender Drehriegel 21 herausragt. Es versteht sich, daß die Schloßteile 10, 19 auch in spiegelbildlichem Sinne gegenüber dem beweglichen und ruhenden Element 11, 12 des Handschuhfaches angeordnet sein könnten.The lock shown in the figures is preferably used with a flap that belongs to a glove box. For this purpose, the movable flap 11 is shown schematically in FIG. 1 and the dormant compartment border 12 indicated. In the present case, the mobile one Flap 11 a frame with a here designed as a bolt with a round cross-section Locking part 10, while the compartment 12 sits a lock housing 19, from which a with the locking part 10 cooperating rotary latch 21 protrudes. It is understood that the lock parts 10, 19 also in a mirror image sense compared to the movable and resting element 11, 12 of the glove box could be arranged.

Die wichtigsten der im Schloßgehäuse 19 vorgesehenen Schloßteile sind in den Fig. 2 bis 4b gezeigt. Im Schloßgehäuse 19 ist eine Achswelle 13 drehgelagert, die eine Baueinheit 20 aus mehreren drehfest miteinander verbundenen Bauteilen 21 bis 23 bildet. Die Baueinheit 20 ist also als ganzes drehbar und daher nachfolgend kurz "Dreheinheit" bezeichnet werden. Zu dieser Dreheinheit 20 gehört zunächst der gabelförmig ausgebildete Drehriegel 21, in welchen beim Schließen der Klappe, gemäß dem in Fig. 4a verdeutlichten Bewegungspfeil 15, der Schließteil 10 in die Gabelöffnung einfährt. In axialem Abstand dazu befindet sich im Inneren des Schloßgehäuses 19 eine Drehfalle 22, die eine Vorraststufe 24 und eine Endraststufe 25 für eine schwenkbewegliche Schließklinke 16 besitzt. Die Sperrklinke 16 ist im Sinne des Pfeiles 17, auf die Drehfalle 22 zu federbelastet. Auch die ganze Dreheinheit 20 ist im Aufschwenksinne des Drehriegels 21 federbelastet, wie in Fig. 4a durch den Kraftpfeil 27 verdeutlicht ist. Die in Fig. 4a gezeigte Ausschwenkposition des Drehriegels 21 ist durch einen schematisch angedeuteten Anschlag 26 im Gehäuse begrenzt, gegen welchen die Federbelastung 27 den Drehriegel 21 normalerweise gedrückt hält. Diese Aufschwenkposition liegt in Offenlage der Klappe vor.The most important of the lock parts provided in the lock housing 19 are shown in FIGS. 2 to 4b shown. In the lock housing 19, an axle shaft 13 is rotatably mounted, which is an assembly 20th forms from a plurality of non-rotatably connected components 21 to 23. The unit 20 can therefore be rotated as a whole and is therefore referred to below for short as "rotating unit". This rotary unit 20 first includes the fork-shaped rotary latch 21, in which when the flap is closed, according to the movement arrow illustrated in FIG. 4a 15, the closing part 10 moves into the fork opening. At an axial distance from it is in Inside the lock housing 19, a rotary latch 22 which has a pre-locking stage 24 and a End stop 25 for a pivotable locking pawl 16 has. The pawl 16 is in the sense of arrow 17, spring-loaded on the catch 22. Even the whole turntable 20 is spring-loaded in the swivel-up direction of the rotary latch 21, as in FIG Force arrow 27 is illustrated. The pivoting position of the rotary latch shown in Fig. 4a 21 is limited by a schematically indicated stop 26 in the housing which the spring load 27 normally keeps the rotary latch 21 pressed. This Swing-open position is in the open position of the flap.

Im Schloßgehäuse 19 befindet sich ein von einem Elektromotor 40 beaufschlagtes Getriebe 30. Das Getriebe 30 umfaßt mehrere Getriebegruppen, von denen eine besondere Getriebegruppe 36 positionsveränderlich ist, und zwar im vorliegenden Fall durch Verkippen, wie ein Vergleich zwischen Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 zeigt. Das Eingangsglied des Getriebes 30 ist eine vom Motor 40 angetriebene Schnecke 41, die in ein Schneckenrad 31 eingreift. Das Schneckenrad 31 ist drehfest mit einem Stirnrad 32 verbunden und auf der Achswelle 13 frei drehbar. Das Stirnrad 32 kämmt mit einem Zahnrad 33, das drehfest mit einem Ritzel 34 ist. Diese Baugruppe 36 der Getriebeteile 33, 34 hat eine Welle 14, die, in einem ersten Anwendungsfall des Schlosses, normalerweise parallel zur Achswelle 13 verläuft. In diesem Fall kämmt das Ritzel 34 mit einem ebenfalls als Stirnrad ausgebildeten besonderen Abtriebsglied 35 des Getriebes 30. Dann befindet sich die Getriebegruppe 36 in ihrer wirksamen Eingriffsposition, wo die vom Motor 40 ausgehende Drehung auf das Abtriebsglied 35 übertragen wird.In the lock housing 19 there is a transmission acted upon by an electric motor 40 30. The transmission 30 includes several transmission groups, one of which is special Gear group 36 is variable in position, in the present case by Tilt, as a comparison between Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 shows. The input link of the The transmission 30 is a worm 41 driven by the motor 40, which is in a worm wheel 31 intervenes. The worm wheel 31 is rotatably connected to a spur gear 32 and on the Axle shaft 13 freely rotatable. The spur gear 32 meshes with a gear 33 which rotates with a pinion 34 is. This assembly 36 of the gear parts 33, 34 has a shaft 14 which, in a first application of the lock, normally parallel to the axle shaft 13 runs. In this case, the pinion 34 meshes with a spur gear, which is also designed special output member 35 of the transmission 30. Then the transmission group 36 is in its effective engagement position, where the rotation from the motor 40 on the Output member 35 is transmitted.

Wie Fig. 3 zeigt, kann die Getriebegruppe 36 durch einen mehrgliedrigen Betätiger 50 in eine um den Winkel 18 gemäß Fig. 3 verkippte Position 36' gebracht werden, wo das Ritzel 34 nicht mehr in die Zahnung des Abtriebsgliedes 35 eingreift. Die Selbsthemmung des Gebriebes 30 ist aufgehoben. Die verkippte Position 36' dieser Getriebegruppe kann als "Trennposition" bezeichnet werden.As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission group 36 can be actuated by a multi-unit actuator 50 in a position 36 'tilted by the angle 18 according to FIG. 3, where the pinion 34 no longer engages in the toothing of the output member 35. The self locking of the Gebriebes 30 is canceled. The tilted position 36 'of this gear group can as "Separation position" are called.

Das Abtriebsglied 35 ist hohl ausgebildet, wie am besten aus Fig. 2b zu ersehen ist, und dient zur Aufnahme des Mitnehmers 23 der Dreheinheit 20. Das Abtriebsgleid 35 ist mit einem axialen Nocken 37 versehen, dessen axiale Stirnfläche zur Verdeutlichung in den Fig. 4a bis 13 durch Punktschraffur hervorgehoben ist. Dieser Nocken 37 bestimmt eine radiale Steuerfläche 47. Außerdem besitzt das Abtriebsrad 35 zwei aus Fig. 4b erkennbare Schultern 38, 39, denen an der Drehfalle 22 zwei Gegenschultern 28, 29 zugeordnet sind. Die beiden Schultern 38, 39 vom Abtriebsglied 35 sowie die beiden Gegenschultern 28, 29 sind jeweils zueinander gegensinnig orientiert, wie aus Fig. 4b hervorgeht. Beachtlich ist, daß zwischen der Schulter und Gegenschulter 28, 38 ein winkelförmiger Freiraum 48 besteht. Ein entsprechender Freiraum 49 besteht aber auch zwischen dem anderen Paar 39, 29 der beiden Schultern und Gegenschultern.The output member 35 is hollow, as best seen in Fig. 2b, and serves to receive the driver 23 of the turntable 20. The output slide 35 is included provided with an axial cam 37, the axial end face of which is illustrated in FIGS. 4a to 13 is highlighted by hatching. This cam 37 determines a radial one Control surface 47. In addition, the driven gear 35 has two recognizable from FIG. 4b Shoulders 38, 39, which two counter shoulders 28, 29 are assigned to the rotary latch 22. The two shoulders 38, 39 from the output member 35 and the two counter shoulders 28, 29 are oriented in opposite directions to each other, as can be seen from FIG. 4b. It is remarkable that between the shoulder and counter shoulder 28, 38 an angular space 48 consists. A corresponding free space 49 also exists between the other pair 39, 29 of the two shoulders and counter shoulders.

In Fig. 4a, 4b befindet sich das Abtriebsglied 35 in einer Bereitschaftsstellung zum Schließen der Klappe, die sich hier in ihrer vollen Offenlage befindet. In der Bereitschaftsstellung von Fig. 4a stützt sich die Schließklinke 16 aufgrund der erwähnten Federbelastung 17 an der Umfangsfläche 42 der Drehfalle 22 ab. Die Klappe wird nun zunächst manuell in Richtung ihrer Schließlage bewegt, wobei der an ihr befindliche Schließbolzen 10 im Sinne des bereits erwähnten Pfeils 15 bewegt wird und dabei auf den Drehriegel 21 stößt und diesen mitnimmt. Es findet zunächst eine manuelle Zuschwenkbewegung des Drehriegels 21 im Sinne des Pfeils 58 von Fig. 4a statt, wobei die ganze Dreheinheit 20, also auch der Mitnehmer 23, gegen die wirkende Federbelastung 27 verschwenkt wird. Die Gegenschulter 28 entfernt sich also zunehmends von ihrer zum Abtriebsglied 35 gehörenden Schulter 38. Das Abtriebsglied 35 bleibt in Ruhe, bis die aus Fig. 5 ersichtliche Stellung der Dreheinheit 20 erreicht ist.4a, 4b, the driven member 35 is in a standby position for Closing the flap, which is here in its full open position. In the The standby position of FIG. 4a is supported by the locking pawl 16 due to the mentioned Spring load 17 on the peripheral surface 42 of the rotary latch 22. The flap will now first moved manually in the direction of its closed position, the one located on it Lock bolt 10 is moved in the sense of the arrow 15 already mentioned and thereby on the Turnbolt 21 bumps and takes it away. It first finds a manual one Swiveling movement of the rotary latch 21 in the direction of arrow 58 of Fig. 4a instead, the Entire turning unit 20, including the driver 23, against the acting spring load 27 is pivoted. The counter shoulder 28 is increasingly moving away from her to Output member 35 belonging shoulder 38. The output member 35 remains at rest until the out Fig. 5 apparent position of the rotating unit 20 is reached.

In Fig. 5 befindet sich die Dreheinheit 20 in einer sog. "Vorraststellung", wo die Klinke 16 aufgrund ihrer Federbelastung 17 in die Vorraststufe 24 der strichpunktiert angezeichneten Drehfalle 22 eingefallen ist. In diesem Fall liegt eine "Spaltlage" der Klappe vor. In Fig. 5 hat sich aufgrund der manuellen Bewegung 58 die Gegenschulter 28 von der Schulter 38 maximal wegbewegt. Diese Vorraststellung wird von Sensoren erkannt, die jetzt den Motor 40 bestromen. Über das Getriebe 30 wird nun das Abtriebsglied 35 im Zuschwenksinne von Fig. 5 weitergedreht. Dabei trifft die Schulter 38 des Abtriebsrades 35 auf die Gegenschulter 28 des Mitnehmers 23 trifft. Dadurch wird die ganze Dreheinheit 20 verschwenkt, wie in Fig. 6 zu erkennen ist. Dabei entfernt sich die Vorraststufe 24 der Drehfalle 22 von der federbelasteten Sperrklinke 16. Weil der Schließbolzen 10 in die Gabelöffhung des Drehriegels 21 bereits ausreichend weit eingefahren ist, wird er nun bei der Zuschwenkbewegung 58 von dem Drehriegel 21 mitgenommen, weshalb sich nun die Klappe motorisch weiter schließt.5, the rotating unit 20 is in a so-called “pre-latching position”, where the pawl 16 due to their spring load 17 in the pre-locking stage 24 of the dash-dotted lines Catch 22 has occurred. In this case there is a "gap position" of the flap. 5 has the counter shoulder 28 off the shoulder 38 due to the manual movement 58 maximally moved away. This locked position is recognized by sensors that are now the motor Energize 40. Via the gear 30, the driven member 35 is now in the direction of swiveling 5 rotated further. The shoulder 38 of the driven gear 35 meets the Counter shoulder 28 of the driver 23 hits. As a result, the entire rotating unit becomes 20th pivoted, as can be seen in Fig. 6. The pre-locking stage 24 is removed Rotary latch 22 from the spring-loaded pawl 16. Because the locking bolt 10 in the Fork opening of the rotary latch 21 has already been retracted sufficiently, it will now be at the pivoting movement 58 carried by the rotary latch 21, which is why the Motor further closes the flap.

In Fig. 7 ist die motorische Zuschwenkbewegung 58 über das Abtriebsglied 35 beendet. Die Dreheinheit 20 mit ihrem Drehriegel 21 befindet sich in einer Endraststellung; die Sperrklinke 16 ist in die Endraststufe 25 der Drehfalle 22 eingefallen. Das wird durch Sensoren erkannt, die den Motor abbremsen. Außerdem wird in diesem Anwendungsfall die Motor-Drehrichtung umgekehrt; es beginnt eine Rückdrehung, durch welche über das Getriebe 30 das Abtriebsrad 35 zunächst im Aufschwenksinne gemäß Pfeil 59 von Fig. 7 zurückgedreht wird. Diese Rückdrehung trifft aber nicht für die Dreheinheit 20 zu; der Drehriegel 21 und der von ihm erfaßte Schließbolzen 10 bleiben in der vollen Zuschwenkposition und halten den Schließbolzen 10 fest. Dadurch ist die volle Schließlage der Klappe gesichert.In Fig. 7, the motorized pivoting movement 58 via the output member 35 is ended. The Turning unit 20 with its rotary latch 21 is in a final locking position; the Pawl 16 has fallen into the final catch 25 of the rotary latch 22. That will be through Detected sensors that brake the engine. In addition, the Reverse direction of motor rotation; a reverse rotation begins, through which over the Gear 30, the driven gear 35 first in the swivel-up direction according to arrow 59 of FIG. 7 is turned back. This reverse rotation does not apply to the rotating unit 20; the Turnbuckle 21 and the locking bolt 10 gripped by it remain in full Swing position and hold the locking bolt 10 firmly. This is the full closed position the flap secured.

Letzteres bleibt erhalten, wenn das Abtriebsglied 35 seine Rückdrehung im Aufschwenksinne 59 gemäß Fig. 8a beendet. Das kann durch Sensoren erkannt und veranlaßt werden. In dieser Stellung hat sich die Schulter 38 am Abtriebsglied 35 von der Gegenschulter 28 des Mitnehmers 23 entfernt. Dazwischen liegt ein großer, durch den Winkel 61 in Fig. 8a verdeutlichter Freiraum vor. Auch zwischen den bei der bisherigen Betrachtung noch nicht aktiv gewordenen Schultern und Gegenschultern 39, 29 liegt ein durch den Winkel 62 verdeutlichter Freiraum vor. Es liegt wieder die gleiche Drehposition des Abtriebsglieds 35 wie in Fig. 4a, 4b vor. Wie anhand der Lage des punktschraffierten Nockens 37 zu erkennen ist. Die Lage der Dreheinheit 20 ist aber gegensinnig; während in Fig. 4a, 4b die voll aufseschwenkte Ausgangsstellung vorliegt, befindet sich die Dreheinheit 20 in Fig. 8a in ihrer voll zugeschwenkten Endraststellung. In Fig. 8a befindet sich das Abtriebsglied 35 wieder in einer "Bereitschaftsstellung", wie in Fig. 4a, 4b, allerdings zum Öffnen der Klappe im Sinne des am Drehriegel 21 eingezeichneten Aufschwenkpfeils 59. Das manuelle Öffnen der Klappe ist aber zunächst nicht möglich, weil das Abtriebsglied 35 mit den übrigen Gliedern des Getriebes 30 in Eingriff steht und zwischen diesen Gliedern eine Selbsthemmung besteht. Vor allem ist aber die Bewegung im Ausschwenksinne 59 deswegen ausgeschlossen, weil die Sperrklinke 16 die Baueinheit 20 über die Drehfalle 22 in ihrer aus Fig. 8a erkennbaren Endraststellung hält. In diesem Anwendungsfall der Erfindung ist daher, wie noch anhand der Fig. 9 näher erläutert wird, eine motorische Öffnungsbewegung vorgesehen.The latter is retained when the output member 35 rotates back in Swing-up sense 59 ended according to FIG. 8a. This can be recognized by sensors and be prompted. In this position, the shoulder 38 on the output member 35 has the Counter shoulder 28 of the driver 23 removed. In between is a big one, through which Angle 61 in FIG. 8a illustrates the free space. Also between those at the previous one Consideration of shoulders and counter shoulders 39, 29 which have not yet become active clearance indicated by the angle 62. The same rotational position is again of the output member 35 as in Fig. 4a, 4b. As with the location of the hatched lines Cam 37 can be seen. The position of the turntable 20 is in opposite directions; while in 4a, 4b is the fully swung open starting position, the rotary unit is located 20 in Fig. 8a in its fully swiveled final locking position. This is in Fig. 8a Output member 35 again in a "standby position", as in Fig. 4a, 4b, but for Open the flap in the sense of the pivot arrow 59 shown on the rotary latch 21. The manual opening of the flap is initially not possible, however, because the output member 35 is in engagement with the other links of the transmission 30 and between these links there is a self-locking. Above all, however, the movement in the pivoting direction is 59 excluded because the pawl 16, the assembly 20 via the rotary latch 22nd holds in its end stop position recognizable from FIG. 8a. In this application the The invention is therefore, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 9, a motor Opening movement provided.

Es kann nun eine Notsituation eintreten, wo in der Bereitschaftsstellung von Fig. 8 oder in einer vorausgehenden oder nachfolgenden Zwischenposition des Abtriebsglieds die Stromversorgung ausfällt und ein motorisches Öffnen der Klappe unmöglich ist. Die Erfindung ermöglicht aber doch eine manuelle Aufschwenkbewegung durch Wirksamsetzen des bereits in Zusammenhang mit Fig. 3 erwähnten besonderen Betätigers 50, was anhand der Fig. 8b näher erläutert werden soll.An emergency situation can now occur where in the standby position of FIG. 8 or in a preceding or following intermediate position of the output member Power supply fails and motorized opening of the flap is impossible. The However, the invention enables a manual swiveling movement by setting it in effect of the special actuator 50 already mentioned in connection with FIG. 3, based on 8b is to be explained in more detail.

Zum Betätiger gehört zunächst ein in Fig. 8a und 8b erkennbarer Arbeitshebel 51, der, wie gestrichelt angedeutet, das kippfähige Ende der Achse 14 der angedeuteten Getriebegruppe 36 lagert. Im Normalfall, gemäß Fig. 8a, wird der Arbeitshebel 51 durch einen Stützhebel 52 festgehalten, wodurch die im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 2 bereits beschriebene Eingriffsposition 36 dieser Baugruppe vorliegt. Der Betätiger 50 wird über eine nicht mehr gezeigte Handhabe ausgelöst, die auf ein Zugseil 53 eines in seinem letzten Teilstück in Fig. 8a, 8b gezeigten Bowdenzugs 54 gehört. Das Zugseil 53 greift am Stützhebel 52 an, der dann aus seiner in Fig. 8a gezeigten wirksamen Lage 52 in seine aus Fig. 8b ersichtliche unwirksame Lage 52' überführt wird. Der Arbeitshebel 51 steht dabei unter der Wirkung einer durch den Kraftpfeil 57 angedeuteten Abhebefeder, die im Falle der in Fig. 8b den Arbeitshebel in die aus Fig. 8b ersichtliche Wegschwenkposition 51' überführt. Dadurch gelangt, wie durch das Ende der Achse 14 angedeutet ist, die Getriebegruppe in ihre bereits anhand der Fig. 3 erläuterte Kipplage, welche die Trennposition des Getriebes 30 kennzeichnet. Das Getriebe 30 ist entkoppelt, weshalb die Selbsthemmung aufgehoben ist. Das Abtriebsglied 35 kann dadurch auch ohne Motor im Sinne des aus Fig. 8b erkennbaren Pfeils 59 im Aufschwenksinne bewegt werden. Dies geschieht im vorliegenden Fall selbsttätig, durch eine aus Fig. 2, 2a erkennbare Rückholfeder 44, die mit ihren beiden Federschenkel 43 zwei Zapfen 45, 46 zwischen sich faßt und für deren radiale Ausrichtung gemäß Fig. 2a sorgt. Der eine Zapfen 45 sitzt am Abtriebsglied 35, während der andere Zapfen 46 gehäusefest ist, also im Inneren des in Fig. 2a und 2 angedeuteten Schloßgehäuses 19 sitzt. Ausweislich der Fig. 8b erfolgt die Wegschwenkbewegung des Arbeitshebels in dessen Wegschwenkposition 51' durch eine Koppelstange 55 in Abstimmung mit dem Stützhebel, der dann in seine unwirksame Lage 52' wirkt.The actuator first includes a working lever 51 which can be seen in FIGS. 8a and 8b and which, like indicated by dashed lines, the tiltable end of the axis 14 of the indicated gear group 36 stores. In the normal case, according to FIG. 8a, the working lever 51 is provided by a support lever 52 recorded, whereby the already described in connection with FIG. 2 Engagement position 36 of this assembly is present. The actuator 50 is no longer over shown trigger triggered, which on a pull rope 53 one in its last section in Fig. 8a, 8b shown Bowden cable 54 belongs. The pull rope 53 engages the support lever 52, the then from its effective position 52 shown in FIG. 8a to its position shown in FIG. 8b ineffective position 52 'is transferred. The working lever 51 is under the effect a lifting spring indicated by the force arrow 57, which in the case of the in Fig. 8b Transferring the working lever to the pivoting position 51 'shown in FIG. 8b. Thereby reaches, as indicated by the end of the axis 14, the transmission group in its already 3, which is the separation position of the transmission 30 features. The gear 30 is decoupled, which is why the self-locking is canceled. The output member 35 can thereby also be seen without a motor in the sense of FIG. 8b Arrow 59 are moved in the opening direction. This happens in the present case automatically, by a return spring 44 recognizable from FIGS. 2, 2a, with its two Spring leg 43 holds two pins 45, 46 between them and for their radial alignment 2a provides. One pin 45 sits on the output member 35, while the other Pin 46 is fixed to the housing, that is to say inside the one indicated in FIGS. 2a and 2 Lock housing 19 sits. According to FIG. 8b, the pivoting movement of the Working lever in its pivoting position 51 'by a coupling rod 55 in Coordination with the support lever, which then acts in its ineffective position 52 '.

Eine Langlochführung oder dergleichen sorgt dabei für eine Abstimmung der sich dabei ergebenden Schwenkbewegungswege. Es gibt noch eine weitere Koppelstange 56 zwischen der Sperrklinke 16 und dem Arbeitshebel 51, wo auch eine geeignete Längsführung für eine Abstimmung der Bewegungen sorgt. Durch diese weitere Koppelstange 56 wird, gemäß Fig. 8b, durch den in Wegschwenkposition 51' gebrachten Arbeitshebel auch eine abgestimmte Wegschwenkbewegung der Sperrklinke 16, die dabei aus ihrer wirksamen Eingriffslage in der Drehfalle 22 gemäß Fig. 8a in ihre unwirksame Freigabelage 16' von Fig. 8b gegen ihre Federbelastung 17 verschwenkt wird. Dann wird die Drehfalle 22 nicht mehr an ihrer Endraststufe 25 blockiert. Die ganze Dreheinheit 20 ist frei und kann daher im Sinne des Pfeils 59 im Aufschwenksinne bewegt werden. Dieses kann durch die Wirkung der vorbeschriebenen Rückholfeder 44 geschehen. Darüber hinaus steht aber auch der Drehriegel 21 der Dreheinheit 20 unter der Wirkung der bereits im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 4a erläuterten Federkraft 27, die im gleichen Sinne 59 wirksam ist. Dadurch kann der Drehriegel 21 wieder voll aufgeschwenkt werden, bis er die aus Fig. 4a ersichtliche andere Bereitschaftsstellung erreicht. Bei dieser Aufschwenkbewegung 59 wird der Schließbolzen 10 freigegeben, und die Klappe gelangt in ihre volle Offenlage.An elongated hole guide or the like ensures that this is coordinated resulting swivel movement paths. There is another coupling rod 56 between the pawl 16 and the working lever 51, where also a suitable longitudinal guide for a Coordination of movements ensures. Through this further coupling rod 56, according to Fig. 8b, by the working lever brought into the pivoting position 51 'also one coordinated pivotal movement of the pawl 16, which is from its effective Engagement position in the rotary latch 22 according to FIG. 8a in its ineffective release position 16 'of Fig. 8b is pivoted against its spring load 17. Then the catch 22 does not more blocked at their final stop level 25. The whole rotating unit 20 is free and can therefore in Arrow 59 can be moved in the swivel-up direction. This can be done by the effect the return spring 44 described above happen. But there is also the Rotary lock 21 of the rotating unit 20 under the effect of the already in connection with Fig. 4a explained spring force 27, which is effective in the same sense 59. This allows the The rotary latch 21 can be pivoted open again until it is the other one shown in FIG. 4a Ready position reached. During this swiveling movement 59, the locking bolt 10 released, and the flap reaches its full open position.

Die vorbeschriebene Aufhebung der Getriebe-Selbsthemmung durch die Trennposition 362 der Getriebegruppe ist vor allem dann bedeutsam, wenn der Notfall; der zur Auslösung des Betätigers 50 diente, in den vorausgehenden Zwischenstellungen gemäß Fig. 6 oder 7 erfolgte. Hier wäre nämlich die durch Federkraft bedingte automatische Rückstellung der Dreheinheit 20 im Aufschwenksinne 59 nicht möglich, weil bei dieser Rückdrehung der Mitnehmer 23 mit seiner Gegenschulter 28 gegen die zum Abtriebsglied 35 gehörende Schulter 38 stößt bzw. anliegt. Dies ist bei der Situation von Fig. 8a, die, wie gesagt, in Fig. 8b identisch folgt, nicht zu befürchten. Wie bereits oben erwähnt wurde, befindet sich nämlich das Abtriebsglied 35 mit seinen Schultern 38, 39 bereits in einer mit der Aufschwenkposition von Fig. 4a, 4b übereinstimmenden Stellung; der vorerwähnte Freiraum 61 ist groß genug, um die Dreheinheit 20 bis in ihre Ausgangsstellung von Fig. 4a zurückzuführen. Normalerweise geschieht dies aber in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung motorisch durch die bereits oben erwähnte Rückdrehung des Abtriebsglieds 35 im Aufschwenksinne 59, ohne daß die vorausgehend beschriebene Auslösung des Betätigers 50 erfolgen müßte.The above-described cancellation of the gear self-locking by the separating position 36 2 of the gear group is particularly important when the emergency; which was used to trigger the actuator 50, in the previous intermediate positions shown in FIG. 6 or 7. Here, namely, the automatic resetting of the rotating unit 20 in the swivel-up direction 59, which is due to spring force, would not be possible, because during this backward rotation the driver 23 with its counter shoulder 28 abuts or rests against the shoulder 38 belonging to the output member 35. This is not to be feared in the situation of FIG. 8a, which, as said, follows identically in FIG. 8b. As already mentioned above, the output member 35 with its shoulders 38, 39 is already in a position which corresponds to the pivoted-open position of FIGS. 4a, 4b; the above-mentioned free space 61 is large enough to return the rotary unit 20 to its initial position of FIG. 4a. Normally, however, in this exemplary embodiment of the invention, this is done by motor by the above-mentioned backward rotation of the output member 35 in the swivel-up direction 59, without the actuation 50 previously described having to be triggered.

Zur entsprechenden Einschaltung des Motors 40 dient zum Beispiel ein nicht mehr gezeigter elektrischer Taster. Bei der Bewegung 59 des Abtriebsrads 35 gemäß Fig. 9 stößt schließlich die dort im Bereich des Nockens 37 vorgesehene Schulter 39 auf die Gegenschulter des Mitnehmers 23. Zugleich ist der Nocken 37 mit seiner Steuerfläche 47, wie Fig. 9 verdeutlicht, gegen die Sperrklinke gefahren und hat diese in ihre bereits erwähnte unwirksame Lage 16', entgegen ihrer Federbelastung 17, verschwenkt. Dieses Verschwenken ist ohne eine Rückwirkung auf den vorbeschriebenen Betätiger 50 möglich, weil in der erwähnten Koppelstange 56 eine Langlochführung vorliegt. Diese Langlochführung erlaubt, ohne Rückwirkungen auf den Betätiger 50, die Stellbewegung an der Sperrklinke durch die Steuerfläche 47. Die Dreheinheit 20 ist nicht mehr durch die Sperrklinke blockiert. A motor, which is no longer shown, is used, for example, to switch the motor 40 on accordingly electrical push button. During the movement 59 of the driven wheel 35 according to FIG. 9 bumps finally the shoulder 39 provided there in the area of the cam 37 onto the Counter shoulder of the driver 23. At the same time, the cam 37 with its control surface 47, as illustrated in FIG. 9, has driven against the pawl and already has it in its mentioned ineffective position 16 ', pivoted against their spring load 17. This Swiveling is possible without an effect on the actuator 50 described above, because there is an elongated hole guide in the coupling rod 56 mentioned. This The elongated hole guide allows the actuating movement to occur without any effects on the actuator 50 the pawl through the control surface 47. The turning unit 20 is no longer through the Pawl blocked.

Gemäß Fig. 10 wird die Dreheinheit 20 durch die vom Motor bewegte Schulter 39 des Abtriebsglieds 35 über die Gegenschulter 29 des Mitnehmers 23 weiterbewegt. Dabei hält die am Nocken 37 vorgesehene Steuerfläche 47 die Sperrklinke immer noch in ihrer unwirksamen Lage 16', so daß ein unerwünschtes Einfallen bei der weiteren motorischen Drehung 59 in die nachfolgende Vorraststufe 24 der Drehfalle 22 ausgeschlossen ist.10, the rotating unit 20 is moved by the shoulder 39 of the motor Output member 35 moves over the counter shoulder 29 of the driver 23. It stops the control surface 47 provided on the cam 37 still holds the pawl in its ineffective position 16 ', so that an undesirable incidence in the further motor Rotation 59 in the subsequent pre-locking stage 24 of the rotary latch 22 is excluded.

So wird schließlich die Dreheinheit 20 in ihrer aus Fig. 11 ersichtliche Ausgangsstellung durch motorische Drehung 59 des Abtriebsglieds 35 erreicht. Der Drehriegel 21 ist wieder in seine voll Aufschwenkposition gebracht und gibt den Schließbolzen frei, wie in Fig. 11 strichpunktiert angedeutet ist. Wie durch den Bewegungspfeil 60 veranschaulicht, kann der an der Klappe sitzende Schließbolzen 10 wegbewegt werden, wodurch die Klappe wieder in ihre volle Offenlage gelangt. Auf dem Wege in die Aufschwenkposition von Fig. 11 wird die Vorraststufe 24 der Drehfalle 22 überfahren, die aber nicht wirksam gesetzt wird, weil die Sperrklinke immer noch von der getriebeseitigen Steuerfläche 47 in ihrer unwirksamen Lage gehalten wird.Finally, the rotary unit 20 becomes in its initial position shown in FIG. 11 achieved by motor rotation 59 of the output member 35. The rotary latch 21 is again brought into its fully swiveled-up position and releases the locking bolt, as in FIG. 11 is indicated by dash-dotted lines. As illustrated by the movement arrow 60, the locking bolts 10 seated on the flap are moved away, thereby bringing the flap back in reaches its full open position. On the way to the swing-open position of FIG. 11, the Overrunning stage 24 of the rotary latch 22 is overrun, but is not activated because the Pawl still from the transmission side control surface 47 in its inoperative position is held.

Das Überfahren der Vorraststufe 24 wird aber wieder von Sensoren erkannt, die bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung den Motor 40 abbremst und ihn wieder in Gegenrichtung, also im Zuschwenksinne 58 antreibt. Die sich daraus ergebenden Verhältnisse sind in Fig. 12 in einer Zwischendrehstellung des Abtriebsglieds 35 erläutert. Während die Dreheinheit 20 durch eine Anlage ihres Drehriegels 21 an den Anschlag 26 aufgrund der Federbelastung 27 festhält, entfernt sich die vorausgehend noch wirksame Schulter 39 vom Abtriebsrad 35 gegenüber der Gegenschulter 29 vom Mitnehmer 23. Wird das Abtriebsrad 35 im Aufschwenksinne 59 motorisch weitergedreht, so fährt die in Fig. 12 noch wirksame Steuerfläche 47 unter dem noch in seiner unwirksamen Lage 16' gehaltenen Sperrklinke weg. Es kommt schließlich zu der aus Fig. 4a, 4b ersichtlichen Bereitschaftsstellung des Abtriebsglieds 35, wo sich die Steuerfläche 47 von der Sperrklinke 16 wegbewegt hat und sich dadurch an der Umfangfläche 42 der Drehfalle 22 abstützt. Die Sperrklinke ist wirksam gesetzt und steht unter einer Vorspannung der Federbelastung 17. In dieser Bereitschaftsstellung kann sie allerdings noch nicht in die Raststufen 24 bzw. 25 einfallen, solange die Ausschwenkposition der Dreheinheit 20 vorliegt.The passage of the pre-locking stage 24 is again recognized by sensors that are used in this Embodiment of the invention brakes the motor 40 and in again Drives in the opposite direction, that is, in the swiveling direction 58. The resulting ones Conditions are explained in FIG. 12 in an intermediate rotational position of the output member 35. While the rotating unit 20 by abutting its rotary latch 21 against the stop 26 holds due to the spring load 27, removes the previously effective Shoulder 39 from the driven gear 35 opposite the counter shoulder 29 from the driver 23 the driven wheel 35 is further rotated by a motor in the swivel-up direction 59, so it moves in FIG. 12 still effective control surface 47 below that still held in its inactive position 16 ' Pawl gone. Finally, there is the one shown in FIGS. 4a, 4b Ready position of the output member 35, where the control surface 47 of the Pawl 16 has moved away and thereby on the peripheral surface 42 of the catch 22nd supported. The pawl is activated and is under a preload Spring loading 17. In this standby position, however, it cannot yet enter the Latching steps 24 and 25 occur as long as the pivoting position of the turntable 20 is present.

Fig. 13 zeigt zunächst eine Notbetätigung, die analog zu den anhand der Fig. 8b erläuterten Verhältnissen ist. Während sich das Abtriebsrad noch in die aus Fig. 11 ersichtlichen Drehstellung befindet, wird angenommen, daß die Stromversorgung oder dergleichen versagt und ein nicht motorisches Auf- oder Zuschwenken 58, 59 erfolgen soll. Das Aufschwenken ist zwar bei der Situation von Fig. 11 zwar nicht mehr erforderlich, doch könnte der Notfall auch in einer vorausgehenden Drehstellung, z.B. Fig. 10 sich ergeben. In diesem Fall ist zwar die Sperrklinke durch die Steuerfläche 47 in ihrer unwirksamen Lage 16', doch würde die bereits mehrfach erwähnte Selbsthemmung im Getriebe 30 vorliegen, wenn nicht, durch Auslösen des Betätigers 50 in Fig. 13, die Getriebegruppe in ihre Trennposition 36' überführt worden wäre. Weil dies aber gemäß Fig. 13 ausgelöst werden kann, wird der Andruck zwischen der Schulter 39 und der Gegenschulter 29 aufgehoben, und die Rückstellwirkung der oben beschriebenen Rückholfeder 54 kann wirksam werden. Das Abtriebsglied 35 wird von dieser Feder 44 automatisch in seine Bereitschaftsstellung gemäß Fig. 4a, 4b überführt. Dadurch gelangt die Dreheinheit 20 wieder in ihre Aufschwenkposition, sofern diese nicht, wie in Fig. 13, bereits vorliegen sollte.FIG. 13 first shows an emergency actuation that is analogous to that explained with reference to FIG. 8b Relationships. While the driven gear can still be seen in FIG. 11 Rotary position, it is assumed that the power supply or the like fails and a non-motorized opening or closing 58, 59 is to take place. The Swinging up is no longer necessary in the situation of FIG. 11, but it is the emergency could also be in a previous turning position, e.g. Fig. 10 result. In in this case, the pawl is in its inactive position by the control surface 47 16 ', but the self-locking already mentioned several times would be present in the transmission 30, if not, by triggering the actuator 50 in Fig. 13, the transmission group in its Separation position 36 'would have been transferred. Because this is triggered according to FIG. 13 the pressure between the shoulder 39 and the counter shoulder 29 is released, and the restoring action of the return spring 54 described above can take effect. The output member 35 is automatically in its ready position by this spring 44 transferred according to Fig. 4a, 4b. As a result, the rotating unit 20 gets back into it Swing-open position, unless this should already exist, as in FIG. 13.

Das Auslösen des Betätigers 50 gemäß Fig. 13 ist auch dann von Nutzen, wenn, ausgehend von Fig. 4a, 4b, eine ausschließlich manuelle Zuschwenkbewegung 58 erfolgen sollte. Die Dreheinheit 20 kann manuell um den in Fig. 4b erkennbaren Winkelbetrag 63 zugeschwenkt 58 werden, obwohl dabei die getriebeseitige Schulter 38 auf die mitnehmerseitige Schulter 28 stößt. Der in Fig. 4b erläuterte Freiraum 48 ist nämlich kleiner als der Winkelbetrag 63 für die Drehbewegung der Baueinheit 20 aus der Aufschwenkposition von Fig. 4b in die dort gepunktet verdeutlichte, der Fig. 7 entsprechende volle Zuschwenkposition. Es ist auch eine andere Betriebsweise der Erfindung möglich. Diese kann darin bestehen, daß die vorerwähnte Getriebegruppe 36 sich normalerweise immer in ihrer anhand der Fig. 3, 8b und 13 erläuterten Trennposition 36' befindet. Das beeinträchtigt zunächst die beiden Bereitschaftspositionen zum Öffnen gemäß Fig. 8a und zum Schließen gemäß Fig. 4a, 4b nicht, wie schon erläutert wurde. Nur wenn, ausgehend von der Bereitschaftsstellung zum Schließen gemäß Fig. 4a, 4b eine Schließhilfe durch den Motor 40 erwünscht ist, gelangt diese Getriebegruppe in ihre Eingriffsposition 36, so daß der Arbeitsablauf gemäß Fig. 5, 6, 7 in der bereits beschriebenen Weise erfolgt. Dann tritt allerdings eine vereinfachte Steuerung ein. Wenn die Fig. 7 erreicht wird, stoppt der Motor 40 die Zuschwenkbewegung 58 des Abtriebsglieds 35. Dann wird die Getriebegruppe 36 durch ein geeignetes Umsteuerungsglied wieder in ihre Trennposition 36' gemäß Fig. 3, 8b bzw. 13 überführt, wo die Selbsthemmung im Getriebe 30 aufgehoben ist. Die erläuterten Federkräfte 27 bzw. die Rückholfeder 44 führt dann die Abtriebsglied 35 selbsttätig wieder in die Bereitschaftsstellung von Fig. 8a, 8b zurück, ohne daß eine Bestromung des Motors 40 im Aufschwenksinne 59 erforderlich werden. Die Bereitschaftsstellung gemäß Fig. 8a vom Abtriebsglied 35 wird durch Federkraft besorgt. Dann fällt die Sperrklinke 16 in die aus Fig. 8a ersichtliche Endraststellung ein und hält die Dreheinheit 20 fest.The actuation of the actuator 50 according to FIG. 13 is also useful when starting out 4a, 4b, an exclusively manual swiveling movement 58 should take place. The Rotary unit 20 can be pivoted manually by the angular amount 63 that can be seen in FIG. 4b 58, although the gear-side shoulder 38 on the drive-side shoulder 28 comes across. The free space 48 explained in FIG. 4b is namely smaller than the angular amount 63 for the rotary movement of the assembly 20 from the pivoted-open position of FIG. 4b into the dotted there made clear, corresponding to Fig. 7 full swivel position. It is also another mode of operation of the invention possible. This can consist in that the The aforementioned gear group 36 is normally always in its on the basis of FIGS. 3, 8b and 13 explained separation position 36 '. That affects the two at first Ready positions for opening according to FIG. 8a and for closing according to FIGS. 4a, 4b not, as has already been explained. Only if, starting from the standby position for 4a, 4b, a closing aid by the motor 40 is desired this gear group in its engagement position 36, so that the workflow according to FIGS. 5, 6, 7 takes place in the manner already described. Then, however, a simplified one occurs Control On. When FIG. 7 is reached, the motor 40 stops the swiveling movement 58 of the output member 35. Then the gear group 36 is replaced by a suitable one Transferring member transferred back into its separating position 36 'according to FIGS. 3, 8b and 13, where the self-locking in the transmission 30 is canceled. The spring forces 27 or the return spring 44 then automatically leads the output member 35 back into the Ready position of Fig. 8a, 8b back, without energizing the motor 40 in Aufschwenks sense 59 may be required. The standby position according to FIG. 8a Output member 35 is caused by spring force. Then the pawl 16 falls into the position shown in FIG. 8a visible final locking position and holds the rotating unit 20.

Dann kann wieder die positionsveränderliche Getriebegruppe 36 selbsttätig in ihre Trennposition 36' von Fig. 3 überführt werden, wobei allerdings zunächst die Sperrklinke in ihrer Eingriffslage 16 von Fig. 8a verbleibt. Insoweit tritt eine Abwandlung gegenüber den vorausgehend anhand der Fig. 8b erläuterten Verhältnissen ein. Wenn jetzt die Dreheinheit 20 wieder in ihre Ausschwenkposition gemäß Fig. 11 des vorausgehenden Ausführungsbeispiels erfolgen soll, ist eine motorische Aufschwenkbewegung im Sinne des Pfeils 59 nicht notwendig. Es genügt die Sperrklinke 16 durch ein geeignetes Steuerglied wieder in ihre aus Fig. 8b ersichtliche unwirksame Lage 16' zu überführen, wo die Drehfalle 22 freigegeben ist. Die auf die Dreheinheit 20 einwirkende Federkraft 27 sorgt für eine federbedingte Rückbewegung der Dreheinheit 20. Die vorbeschriebene Rückholfeder 44 hält dabei das Abtriebsglied 35 in seiner schon aus Fig. 8 erkennbaren Bereitschaftsstellung, die identisch jener von Fig. 4a ist, welche wieder die jetzt angestrebte Bereitschaftsstellung zum Schließen kennzeichnet. Diese alternative Betriebsweise vereinfacht daher die Steuerung des Motors 40. Then the position-variable gear group 36 can automatically move into it Separating position 36 'of Fig. 3 are transferred, but first the pawl in their engagement position 16 of Fig. 8a remains. In this respect there is a modification to the previously explained with reference to FIG. 8b. If now the turntable 20 back into its swiveled-out position according to FIG. 11 of the previous one Embodiment to take place, is a motorized pivoting movement in the sense of Arrow 59 not necessary. The pawl 16 is sufficient by a suitable control member to be transferred back to their ineffective position 16 'shown in FIG. 8b, where the catch 22 is released. The spring force 27 acting on the rotating unit 20 ensures a spring-related return movement of the rotating unit 20. The return spring 44 described above holds the output member 35 in its ready position, which can already be seen in FIG. 8, which is identical to that of Fig. 4a, which again is the desired standby position indicates to close. This alternative mode of operation therefore simplifies Control of the engine 40.
