Definitions

  • the invention relates to a with an integrated brake and holding device equipped door hinge, in particular a motor vehicle door hinge of those Type in which the two hinge halves pivotally with each other connecting, consisting of a solid material hinge pin in the or the hinge eyes of a hinge half is secured against rotation and with at least one of the hinge eyes of the other hinge half, in which he is stored with running seat, at least in sections by means of alternately on Hinge pin and hinge eye trained, parallel to the hinge axis Formations preferably cooperates continuously bremskraftind.
  • From DE-A-44 06 824 is a with an integrated brake and holding device equipped door hinge, in particular a motor vehicle door hinge of the aforementioned Type known, wherein the two hinge halves pivotally with each other connecting, consisting of a solid material hinge pin in the or the hinge eyes of a hinge half is secured against rotation and with the one or more hinge eyes of the other hinge half, which he with a Bearing game interspersed by means of alternately trained formations interacts with the braking force.
  • the desired braking and holding function which when exceeding a predetermined permitted opening inner circumference alternately with a radially flat rising wedge surface and then this stepwise with a steeply sloping flank surface equipped with both wedge surfaces over their entire coverage area must have absolutely the same slopes to the desired To achieve braking and holding function.
  • From DE-U-76 16 362 is another type of, with a braking and holding function equipped door hinge, which is characteristic Characterized way that there the braking and holding forces by a spring elastic deformation of having an oval inner circumference Hinge eyes are applied and the hinge eye for this purpose must be axially slotted.
  • a resilient deformation of an axial slotted Hülierauges or be applied by other spring means Braking or. Holding forces can at best be used to hold open furniture doors or Furniture flaps, but in no case sufficient for the determination of motor vehicle doors.
  • door hinges with slotted hinge eye on motor vehicle doors because of the risk of penetration of dirt and the like. In the Hinge storage basically not applicable.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of a door hinge, in particular a car door hinge with integrated braking and holding function to create, on the one hand the demand, over predetermined legal Opening angle towards a resistance-free opening and closing movement of the door and on the other hand the requirement in the area of at least one selected opening angle of the further opening movement of the door a to oppose sufficiently large, progressively increasing resistance, fulfilled, but on a tight tolerated production of each other can dispense with cooperating parts of the brake and holding device.
  • the invention thus shows a way for compliance with the for even in mass production consistent insertion of the brake or. Holding effect required precision of the machining, in particular the Hinge eye hole away and towards a setting operation to relocate, with the previous proposals adhering disadvantage of a non-portable manufacturing effort eliminated.
  • the socket at a corresponding to a given door opening angle Mutually position hinge halves with respect to their radially offset Forming force and / or formschl mannerig in a the intended or intended Beginning of the braking or holding force corresponding relative position to set radially offset longitudinal portion of the hinge pin in the hinge eye is and that for the rotationally secure fixing the female receiving Hinge eye with a recess and the socket with a complementary designed, deformable region, in particular a radially extending collar, is provided, which with the recess of the hinge eye in positive Intervention can be brought.
  • a equipped with an integrated brake and holding device Door hinge in particular a motor vehicle door hinge
  • a first method according to the invention be provided that two Hinge halves made and one of the two hinge halves with an in a preliminary operation with a one to produce a brake and Holding force suitable radial projection equipped hinge pin, the another of the two hinge halves with a hinge pin opposite Excessive, in particular cylindrical hinge eye bore is equipped and that in a further operation one with a radial Projection of the hinge pin provided complementary radial shaping Socket prepared and initially loose in the hinge eye hole of the other Hinge half is used in a further process step with the hinge pin rotatably connected hinge pin inserted into the socket and these are opposite to the onset of a braking and / or holding force is twisted and that finally the jack in a certain one Door opening angle associated, intended insertion of the braking or holding force corresponding twisting position in the hinge eye of the other hinge half is determined.
  • a second method of the invention with respect to Production of a equipped with an integrated brake and holding device Door hinge, in particular a motor vehicle door hinge, but also provided be that the socket placed on the hinge pin and this opposite twisted until the beginning of a braking or holding force and in this relative position then to the hinge pin in the hinge eye of the other hinge half is pressed, the other hinge half to a hinge half in an intended one associated with a given door opening angle Beginning of a braking and / or holding power aligned position is.
  • the illustrated in the drawing and equipped with an integrated braking and holding function motor vehicle door hinge comprises as basic components a first 1 and a second hinge half 2 and a first hinge half 1 rotatably connected hinge pin 3.
  • the first hinge half 1 is a hinge leaf 4 and the second Hinge half 2 is equipped with a hinge leaf 5, via which the first 1 and the second hinge half 2 are each connected to a not shown in detail in the drawing door assembly part, door or door pillar.
  • the hinge pin 3 is fixed in the hinge eye 6 of the first hinge half 1 with a tight fit, for example by means of the threaded portion 7 and cone nut 8 existing screw.
  • the hinge pin 3 is further provided with a radially projecting collar 9, via which it engages with assembled hinge between the facing commercial surfaces of the hinge eyes 6 and 10 of the two hinge halves 1 and 2.
  • a radially projecting collar 9 via which it engages with assembled hinge between the facing commercial surfaces of the hinge eyes 6 and 10 of the two hinge halves 1 and 2.
  • About his the hinge eye 10 of the other hinge half 2 by cross-length range of the hinge pin 3 is provided with decreasing towards its free end 11 in diameter gradations 12, 13 and 14.
  • the hinge pin 3 of the hinge half 2 is secured against axial migration by means of an abutment disk 16 resting on its outermost industrial surface 15 and a rivet head 17 overlapping it.
  • the sleeve 19 is, in the case of a smooth cylindrical configuration of its outer circumference, on the inside with the steps 12, 13 and 14 of the hinge pin 3 corresponding diameter increments 20, 21 and 22 equipped.
  • the hinge pin 3 is provided with a radial projection 23 which, as shown in FIG. 2, is formed by a cylindrical section offset axially parallel to the hinge axis 24 by an amount 25.
  • the bushing 19 is provided over the region 21 with a radially offset to the hinge axis 24 arranged extension 26, such that, according to the illustration of Figure 2, the radial projection 23 of the hinge pin 3 only over a designated door opening angle out with the associated gradation 21 of the sleeve 19 can engage.
  • the bushing 19 is designed as a collar bush, wherein it engages with its collar 27 between the radial projection 9 of the hinge pin 3 and the inner commercial surface 28 of the hinge eye 10 of the other hinge half.
  • a radially directed recess 29 is provided in the hinge eye 10, in which a portion 30 of the collar 27 of the socket can be latched, preferably with simultaneous inductive heating.
