Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung mit einem Scharnierbügel zum Verschwenken einer mit dem Scharnierbügel drehfest verbundenen Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe (Heckklappe, Motorhaube etc.) um eine Scharnierachse.The invention relates to a device with a hinge bracket for pivoting a rotatably connected to the hinge bracket vehicle door or vehicle door (tailgate, hood, etc.) about a hinge axis.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der DE 200 04 973 U1 bekannt. Diese bekannte Vorrichtung umfaßt einen Antrieb mit einem Hebelgetriebe, bei dem ein Kurbelhebel über zwei sich in axialer Richtung des Fahrzeuges erstreckender, hintereinander angeordneter, bügelförmig ausgebildeter Antriebshebel auf den Scharnierbügel der Heckklappe des Fahrzeuges wirkt. Dabei greift der dem Scharnierbügel zugewandte Antriebshebel an einem von der Scharnierachse beabstandeten Bereich des Scharnierbügels an. Diese bekannte Vorrichtung weist unter anderem den Nachteil auf, daß sie relativ platzaufwendig ist.Such a device is for example from the DE 200 04 973 U1 known. This known device comprises a drive with a lever mechanism in which a crank lever on two extending in the axial direction of the vehicle, arranged one behind the other, bow-shaped trained drive lever acts on the hinge bracket of the tailgate of the vehicle. In this case, the hinge lever facing the drive lever engages a spaced from the hinge axis region of the hinge bracket. This known device has, inter alia, the disadvantage that it is relatively space consuming.

Bekannt geworden ist ferner eine Vorrichtung, wie z. B. in der nicht vorveröffentlichten WO 03/036008 , bei welcher der Antrieb mit der Scharnierachse der jeweiligen Heckklappe verbunden ist. Derartige bekannte Vorrichtungen können zwar platzsparender als die in der DE 200 04 973 U1 offenbarte Vorrichtung in dem entsprechenden Fahrzeug angeordnet werden, doch hat sich gezeigt, daß zur Übertragung der Kräfte von dem Antrieb auf die Heckklappe die Scharniere gegenüber herkömmlichen Heckklappenscharnieren verstärkt werden müssen. Dieses führt dazu, daß bei Fahrzeugen des gleichen Typs, aber ohne Antrieb zur automatischen Betätigung der Heckklappe, entweder andere (schwächere) Scharniere als wie bei Fahrzeugen mit einem Antrieb zur automatischen Heckklappenbetätigung verwendet werden müssen oder, daß bei den Fahrzeugen ohne Antrieb die Scharniere überdimensioniert werden müssen.Also known has become a device such. B. in the not previously published WO 03/036008 in which the drive is connected to the hinge axis of the respective tailgate. Although such known devices can save space than those in the DE 200 04 973 U1 However, it has been found that in order to transmit the forces from the drive to the tailgate, the hinges must be reinforced over conventional tailgate hinges. This causes that in vehicles of the same type, but with no drive for automatic operation of the tailgate, either other (weaker) hinges than those used on vehicles with a drive for automatic tailgate operation, or that in the case of non-powered vehicles, the hinges must be oversized.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine platzsparend aufgebaute Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, bei deren bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung keine besondere Verstärkung der Fahrzeugtür- oder Fahrzeugklappenscharniere erforderlich ist.The invention has for its object to provide a space-saving device of the type mentioned, in the intended use no special reinforcement of the vehicle door or vehicle door hinges is required.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung offenbaren die Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Further, particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention disclose the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung beruht im wesentlichen auf dem Gedanken, eine Vorrichtung mit einem Antrieb vorzusehen, welche eine in Verlängerung der Scharnierachse angeordnete Antriebswelle umfaßt, die aber nicht auf die Scharnierachse wirkt, sondern mit einem parallel zu dem Scharnierbügel angeordneten und mit diesem befestigbaren bügelförmigen Antriebshebel verbunden ist.The invention is based essentially on the idea to provide a device with a drive, which comprises an extension of the hinge axis arranged drive shaft, but which does not act on the hinge axis, but is connected to a parallel to the hinge bracket and fastened thereto fastened bow-shaped drive lever ,

Durch eine derartige Vorrichtung wird einerseits erreicht, daß durch eine seitliche Anordnung des Antriebes -wie bei Vorrichtungen zum direkten Verschwenken der Scharnierachse- ein platzsparender Aufbau der Vorrichtung möglich ist. Andererseits braucht durch die Verwendung des zusätzlichen Antriebshebels, der das Drehmoment auf die Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe überträgt, kein überdimensioniertes Scharnier eingesetzt zu werden.By such a device on the one hand ensures that a space-saving construction of the device is possible by a lateral arrangement of the drive -as in devices for direct pivoting of the hinge axis. On the other hand, the use of the additional drive lever, which transmits the torque to the vehicle door or vehicle door, no need to be used oversized hinge.

Die Verbindung zwischen der Antriebswelle und dem Antriebshebel kann kraft- und/oder formschlüssig erfolgen.The connection between the drive shaft and the drive lever can be non-positive and / or positive.

Um eine einwandfreie Zentrierung der Antriebswelle sicherzustellen, hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, wenn der Antriebshebel auf seiner der Antriebswelle abgewandten Seite eine Lagerbuchse besitzt, die auf einen am Ende der Scharnierachse vorgesehenen Lagerzapfen aufsteckbar ist. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, die Antriebswelle durch den Antriebshebel hindurchzuführen und die Antriebswelle direkt lagernd mit der Scharnierachse zu verbinden.To ensure proper centering of the drive shaft, it has proven to be expedient if the drive lever on its side facing away from the drive shaft has a bearing bush which can be plugged onto a journal provided at the end of the hinge axis. Of course, it is also possible to pass through the drive shaft through the drive lever and the drive shaft directly superimposed with the Hinge axis to connect.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den folgenden anhand von Figuren erläuterten Ausführungsbeispielen. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. eine Explosionsdarstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung mit Scharnierbügel und Scharnierachse einer Heckklappe;
  • Fig.2-4 perspektivische Ansichten, welche die einzelnen Montagestufen bei der Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung wiedergeben.
Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following with reference to figures explained embodiments. Show it:
  • An exploded view of a device according to the invention with hinge bracket and hinge axis of a tailgate;
  • Fig.2-4 perspective views showing the individual assembly stages in the manufacture of the device according to the invention.

In den Figuren ist mit 1 ein Scharnierbügel bezeichnet, welcher über Flanschteile 2 an dem dachseitigen Bereich einer nicht dargestellten Heckklappe eines Kraftfahrzeuges befestigbar ist. Der Scharnierbügel 1 ist um eine Scharnierachse 3 schwenkbar angeordnet, die in einem an der Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeuges befestigbaren Halterahmen 4 drehfest gelagert ist.In the figures, 1 denotes a hinge bracket which can be fastened via flange parts 2 to the roof-side area of a tailgate, not shown, of a motor vehicle. The hinge bracket 1 is pivotally mounted about a hinge axis 3, which is rotatably mounted in a fastened to the body of the motor vehicle holding frame 4.

Die mit 5 bezeichnete erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung (Fig. 1 und 4) umfaßt einen Antrieb (z.B. ein Elektromotor mit nachgeschaltetem Zahnradgetriebe) und eine sich in Richtung der Scharnierachse 3 erstreckende Antriebswelle 7. Die Antriebswelle 7 ist drehfest mit dem ersten Ende 8 eines bügelförmigen, im wesentlichen parallel zu dem Scharnierbügel 1 angeordneten Antriebshebel 9 verbunden. Das zweite Ende 10 des bügelförmigen Antriebshebels 9 ist mit einem der beiden Flanschteile 2 des Scharnierbügels 1 verbindbar. Dabei kann die Verbindung zwischen Scharnierbügel 1 und Antriebshebel 9 über eine Schraube (nicht dargestellt) erfolgen, mittels welcher auch der nicht dargestellte Heckdeckel an dem Scharnierbügel 1 befestigt wird.The device according to the invention denoted by 5 ( Fig. 1 and 4 ) comprises a drive (eg, an electric motor with a downstream gear transmission) and extending in the direction of the hinge axis 3 drive shaft 7. The drive shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the first end 8 of a bow-shaped, arranged substantially parallel to the hinge bracket 1 drive lever 9. The second end 10 of the bow-shaped drive lever 9 is connected to one of the two flange 2 of the hinge bracket 1. In this case, the connection between the hinge bracket 1 and drive lever 9 via a screw (not shown), by means of which also the rear lid, not shown, is attached to the hinge bracket 1.

Zur Zentrierung der Antriebswelle 7 weist der Antriebshebel 9 auf seiner der Antriebswelle 7 abgewandten Seite eine Lagerbuchse 11 auf, die auf einen am Ende der Scharnierachse 3 vorgesehenen Lagerzapfen 12 aufsteckbar angeordnet ist.For centering the drive shaft 7, the drive lever 9 on its side facing away from the drive shaft 7 has a bearing bush 11 which is arranged plugged onto a bearing pin 12 provided at the end of the hinge axis 3.

Zur Montage der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 5 wird zunächst die Scharnierachse 3 mit dem Scharnierbügel 1 und dem Halterahmen 4 verbunden (Fig.2). Diese Anordnung entspricht im wesentlichen einer Standardscharnieranordnung für Kraftfahrzeuge, bei denen kein Antrieb zur automatischen Betätigung der Heckklappe vorgesehen ist. Lediglich der an der Scharnierachse 3 vorgesehene Lagerzapfen 12, der seitlich etwas über den Halterahmen 4 hervorsteht, ist bei bekannten derartigen Scharnieranordnungen in der Regel nicht vorhanden.For mounting the device 5 according to the invention, first the hinge axis 3 connected to the hinge bracket 1 and the support frame 4 ( Fig.2 ). This arrangement substantially corresponds to a standard hinge assembly for motor vehicles, where no drive is provided for automatic operation of the tailgate. Only provided on the hinge axis 3 bearing pin 12, which protrudes slightly laterally beyond the support frame 4, is generally not present in known such hinge assemblies.

Sofern das Kraftfahrzeug mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 5 versehen werden soll, wird anschließend der Antriebshebel 9 auf den seitlich hervorstehenden Lagerzapfen 12 der Scharnierachse 3 aufgesteckt und das zweite Ende 10 des Antriebshebels 9 an dem Flanschteil 2 mit einer Heckdeckelschraube (nicht dargestellt) befestigt (Fig.3).If the motor vehicle is to be provided with a device 5 according to the invention, then the drive lever 9 is attached to the laterally projecting bearing pin 12 of the hinge axis 3 and the second end 10 of the drive lever 9 to the flange 2 with a rear cover screw (not shown) attached ( Figure 3 ).

Abschließend wird dann die mit dem Antrieb 6 verbundene Antriebswelle 7 in eine Aufnahme 13 des Antriebshebels 9 eingesteckt und der Antrieb 6 mit der nicht dargestellten Fahrzeugkarosserie verbunden (verschraubt). Dabei sind die Aufnahme 13 des Antriebshebels 9 und das der Aufnahme 13 zugewandte Ende der Antriebswelle 7 derart ausgebildet; daß eine drehfeste Verbindung dieser Teile erfolgt.Finally, then connected to the drive 6 drive shaft 7 is inserted into a receptacle 13 of the drive lever 9 and the drive 6 connected to the vehicle body, not shown (screwed). In this case, the receptacle 13 of the drive lever 9 and the receptacle 13 facing the end of the drive shaft 7 are formed such; that a rotationally fixed connection of these parts takes place.
