Description

ANTRIEB DRIVE
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Antrieb zum Verschwenken einer mit einem Scharnierbügel drehfest verbundenen Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe (Heckklappe, Motorhaube etc.).The invention relates to a drive for pivoting a vehicle door or hatch (torsion hatch, bonnet, etc.) connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a hinge bracket.
Aus der nicht vorveröffentlichten deutschen Patentanmeldung 101 17 933.2 ist ein Kraftfahrzeug mit automatisch verschließbarer Fahrzeugtur oder Fahrzeugklappe (im folgenden auch zusammenfassend nur als Fahrzeugtür bezeichnet) bekannt, bei dem durch eine entsprechende Betätigung eines in der Instrumententafel vorgesehenen Schalters die Fahrzeugtür geschlossen oder geöffnet werden kann. Hierzu wirkt das von dem Schalter erzeugte Schaltsignal auf eine elektronische Steuereinrichtung, die ihrer- seits elektrische Steuersignale zur Aktivierung eines Elektromotors erzeugt, der dann seinerseits über ein nachgeschaltetes Getriebe auf eine hebeiförmige Verlängerung des Scharnierbügels einwirkt und die Fahrzeugtur verschwenkt oder verschiebt.From the unpublished German patent application 101 17 933.2, a motor vehicle with an automatically lockable vehicle door or vehicle flap (hereinafter also referred to collectively as the vehicle door) is known, in which the vehicle door can be closed or opened by a corresponding actuation of a switch provided in the instrument panel. For this purpose, the switching signal generated by the switch acts on an electronic control device, which in turn generates electrical control signals for activating an electric motor, which then in turn acts on a lever-shaped extension of the hinge bracket via a downstream transmission and pivots or shifts the vehicle door.
Nachteilig ist bei diesem Kraftfahrzeug unter anderem, daß der Scharnierbügel mit ei- nem zusätzlichen hebeiförmigen Teil versehen werden muß. Außerdem ist der Antrieb relativ platzaufwendig aufgebaut. Schließlich ist der Teil des Antriebes, der mit dem Scharnierbügel verbunden ist, häufig für einen Dritten sichtbar, wenn sich die hebeiförmige Verlängerung des Scharnierbügels nicht während ihres gesamten Schwenkweges zum Öffnen der Heckklappe etc. innerhalb des Dachhimmels des entsprechenden Kraftfahrzeuges befindet.One disadvantage of this motor vehicle is that the hinge bracket must be provided with an additional lever-shaped part. In addition, the drive is relatively space-consuming. Finally, the part of the drive that is connected to the hinge bracket is often visible to a third party if the lever-shaped extension of the hinge bracket is not within the headlining of the corresponding motor vehicle during its entire pivoting path for opening the tailgate etc.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen platzsparend aufgebauten Antrieb der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, bei dem die Kopplung zwischen dem Antrieb und dem Scharnierbügel auf einfache Weise und möglichst für einen Dritten unsichtbar a- nordbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide a space-saving drive of the type mentioned, in which the coupling between the drive and the hinge bracket can be easily and invisibly to a third party invisible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
Bestätiguπgskopte^ Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.Bestätiguπgskopte ^ Further, particularly advantageous configurations of the invention are disclosed in the subclaims.
Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, den Antrieb nicht mit einem zusätzlichen hebeiförmigen Teil des Scharnierbügels zu verbinden, sondern direkt auf die mit dem Scharnierbügel drehfest verbundene und z.B. im Dachhimmel des entsprechenden Kraftfahrzeuges liegende Scharnierachse einzuwirken.The invention is essentially based on the idea of not connecting the drive to an additional lever-shaped part of the hinge bracket, but rather directly to the non-rotatably connected and e.g. hinge axis lying in the headlining of the corresponding motor vehicle.
Bei Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Antriebes ist es in vorteilhafter Weise mög- lieh, die entsprechenden Scharniere einschließlich der Scharnierachse mit Scharnierbügel ah der noch nicht oberflächenbehandelten Karosserie des Fahrzeuges zu befestigen und den Antrieb, falls gewünscht, erst später in das ansonsten fertige Fahrzeug einzubauen. Da der erfindungsgemäße Antrieb üblicherweise seitlich von dem Scharnier mit Scharnierachse verbunden wird, muß die entsprechende Scharnierachse gegebenenfalls seitlich aus dem Scharnier herausgeführt bzw. verlängert werden.When using the drive according to the invention, it is advantageously possible to fix the corresponding hinges including the hinge axis with hinge bracket ah to the body of the vehicle that has not yet been surface-treated and, if desired, to install the drive later in the otherwise finished vehicle. Since the drive according to the invention is usually connected laterally from the hinge to the hinge axis, the corresponding hinge axis may have to be led out or extended laterally from the hinge.
Um eine gute Kraftübertragung bei relativ geringem Platzbedarf zu ermöglichen, hat sich als Getriebe für das Verschwenken der Schamierachse vor allem die Verwendung eines Hebelgetriebes als vorteilhaft erwiesen, wobei ein Antriebshebel mit dem Motor und ein Abtriebshebel mit der Schamierachse drehfest verbunden sind und wobei die beiden Hebel über mindestens eine -vorzugsweise zwei symmetrisch zueinander angeordnete- Kupplungsstange(n) gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind.In order to enable good power transmission with a relatively small space requirement, the use of a lever gear has proven to be particularly advantageous as a gear for pivoting the hinge axis, with a drive lever being connected to the motor and a driven lever with the hinge axis, and the two levers are articulated to one another via at least one — preferably two symmetrically arranged coupling rod (s).
Zum Ausgleich von Koaxialitätstoleranzen zwischen der Antriebswelle und der Schar- nierachse hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, die Kupplungsstangen über Gelenklager an den Hebeln zu befestigen, so daß Taumelbewegungen bis zu 5° um den Hauptbefestigungspunkt an der Schamierachse möglich sind.In order to compensate for coaxiality tolerances between the drive shaft and the hinge axis, it has proven to be expedient to attach the coupling rods to the levers via articulated bearings, so that wobble movements of up to 5 ° around the main fastening point on the hinge axis are possible.
Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den folgenden an- hand von Figuren erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen. Es zeigen:Further details and advantages of the invention result from the following exemplary embodiments explained with reference to figures. Show it:

Fig.2 eine Fig.l entsprechende Darstellung, bei welcher das Hebelgetriebe mit einem Getriebegehäuse versehen ist.Fig.2 is a Fig.l corresponding representation, in which the lever gear is provided with a gear housing.
In den Fig.l ist mit 1 ein Antrieb zum Verschwenken einer mit einem Scharnierbügel 2 drehfest verbundenen, gestrichelt angedeuteten Heckklappe 3 eines Kraftfahrzeuges bezeichnet. Der Scharnierbügel 2 ist drehfest mit einer Schamierachse 4 verbunden, welche schwenkbar an einem Scharnier 5 angeordnet ist. Das Scharnier 5 ist an der e- benfalls gestrichelt angedeuteten Karosserie 6 des entsprechenden Fahrzeuges befestigt.In FIG. 1, 1 denotes a drive for pivoting a tailgate 3 of a motor vehicle, which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a hinge bracket 2 and is indicated by dashed lines. The hinge bracket 2 is rotatably connected to a hinge axis 4, which is pivotally arranged on a hinge 5. The hinge 5 is fastened to the body 6 of the corresponding vehicle, likewise indicated by dashed lines.
Der Antrieb 1 umfaßt einen Elektromotor 7, welcher ebenfalls über einen Flansch 8 an der Karosserie des Fahrzeuges befestigt ist, und ein mit dem Elektromotor 7 verbundenes Hebelgetriebe 9. Das Hebelgetriebe 9 weist einen Antriebshebel 10 auf, welcher mit der Abtriebswelle 11 des Elektromotors 7 (oder eines Zwischengetriebes im Falle eines Getriebemotors) drehfest verbunden ist. Außerdem umfaßt das Hebelgetriebe 9 einen Abtriebshebel 12, der mit der seitlich über das Scharnier 5 hervorstehenden Schamierachse 4 über eine Formschlußverbindung (z.B. Keilverzahnung) drehfest verbunden ist. Der Antriebshebel 10 und der Abtriebshebel 12 des Hebelgetriebes 9 sind über zwei Kupplüngsstangen 13, 14 miteinander gelenkig verbunden. Dabei sind die Kupplungsstangen 13, 14 über Gelenklager 15, 16 an den Hebeln 10, 12 befestigt, um Toleranzen zwischen der Abtriebswelle 11 des Elektromotors 7 und der Schamierachse 4 auszugleichen.The drive 1 comprises an electric motor 7, which is also attached to the body of the vehicle via a flange 8, and a lever gear 9 connected to the electric motor 7. The lever gear 9 has a drive lever 10, which is connected to the output shaft 11 of the electric motor 7 ( or an intermediate gear in the case of a geared motor) is rotatably connected. In addition, the lever gear 9 comprises an output lever 12 which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the hinge axis 4 projecting laterally beyond the hinge 5 via a positive connection (e.g. spline). The drive lever 10 and the output lever 12 of the lever gear 9 are articulated to one another via two coupling rods 13, 14. The coupling rods 13, 14 are fastened to the levers 10, 12 via articulated bearings 15, 16 in order to compensate for tolerances between the output shaft 11 of the electric motor 7 and the hinge axis 4.
Das Hebelgetriebe 9 wird bei der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Antriebes 1 durch ein Gehäuse 17 abgedeckt (Fig.2), an dem ein Gelenklager 18 angeordnet ist, in welchem die Schamierachse 4 schwenkbar gelagert ist, so daß der Antrieb 1 in bezug auf die Scha ierachse 4 zentriert wird. Hinter dem Gelenklager 18 befindet sich ein ebenfalls an dem Gehäuse 17 befestigter Winkelgeber 19, der drehfest mit der Schar- nierachse 4 verbunden ist und zur Positionsbestimmung der Heckklappe 3 dient.The lever gear 9 is covered in the intended use of the drive 1 by a housing 17 (Fig.2), on which a pivot bearing 18 is arranged, in which the hinge axis 4 is pivotally mounted, so that the drive 1 with respect to the Scha ierachse 4 is centered. Behind the articulated bearing 18 there is an angle sensor 19, which is also fastened to the housing 17 and is connected to the hinge axis 4 in a rotationally fixed manner and serves to determine the position of the tailgate 3.
Femer ist an dem Gehäuse 17 des Hebelgetriebes 9 eine Aufnahme 20 für ein an dem Scharnier 5 befestigtes stangenförmiges Abstützelement 21 vorgesehen, welches zur Winkelabstützung des Antriebes 1 dient.Furthermore, on the housing 17 of the lever mechanism 9 there is a receptacle 20 for the Hinge 5 attached rod-shaped support element 21 is provided, which serves for angular support of the drive 1.
Soll die Heckklappe 3 beispielsweise aus der in Fig.l dargestellten Position nach oben verschwenkt werden, so wird der Elektromotor 7 über eine entsprechende Schaltungsvorrichtung (nicht dargestellt) aktiviert. Die Abtriebswelle 11 des Elektromotors 7 dreht sich dann in Richtung des mit 22 bezeichneten Pfeiles entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn. Der Antriebshebel 10 wird nach unten geschwenkt und nimmt über die Kupplungsstangen 13, 14 den Abtriebshebel 12 mit. Dieser dreht dann auch die Schamierachse 4 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn. Die Heckklappe öffnet sich bis zu einer vorgegebenen Position, bei welcher der Winkelgeber 19 den Elektromotor 7 direkt oder über die nicht dargestellte Schaltungs Vorrichtung abschaltet.If the tailgate 3 is to be pivoted upward, for example, from the position shown in FIG. 1, the electric motor 7 is activated via a corresponding circuit device (not shown). The output shaft 11 of the electric motor 7 then rotates counterclockwise in the direction of the arrow labeled 22. The drive lever 10 is pivoted downward and takes the output lever 12 with it via the coupling rods 13, 14. This then also rotates the hinge axis 4 counterclockwise. The tailgate opens up to a predetermined position at which the angle transmitter 19 switches off the electric motor 7 directly or via the switching device (not shown).
Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausfüh- rungsbeispiel beschränkt. So muß es sich bei dem Getriebe nicht zwingend um ein Hebel- bzw. Kurbelgetriebe handeln, sondern es kann auch beispielsweise ein Zahnradgetriebe verwendet werden.The invention is of course not limited to the exemplary embodiment described above. The gearbox need not necessarily be a lever or crank gearbox, but a gearwheel gearbox can also be used, for example.
Femer können zur Befestigung der Kupplungsstangen 13, 14 an den Hebeln 10, 12 statt Gelenklager z.B. auch Nadellager verwendet werden, wenn nur kleinere Toleranzen zwischen der Abtriebswelle 11 und der Schamierachse 4 zu berücksichtigen sind.Furthermore, for fastening the coupling rods 13, 14 to the levers 10, 12 instead of spherical bearings, e.g. Needle roller bearings can also be used if only smaller tolerances between the output shaft 11 and the hinge axis 4 are to be taken into account.
Bei dem Motor kann es sich auch um einen hydraulisch oder pneumatisch angetriebenen Motor handeln.The motor can also be a hydraulically or pneumatically driven motor.
Schließlich kann das Gehäuse 17 auch Teil eines den gesamten Antrieb 1 umfassenden Gehäuses sein. BezugszeichenlisteFinally, the housing 17 can also be part of a housing comprising the entire drive 1. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
