Abstract

The invention relates to a drive mechanism comprising a drive shaft (6) which can be connected to a motor and swivels a vehicle door or vehicle hood (2) that is connected in a torsion-proof manner to a hinge loop (3) about a hinge pin (4). In order to arrange the drive mechanism and the hinge loop (3) in a very compact manner, a planetary gear that is integrated into the hinge loop (3) is used as a drive mechanism (5). The drive shaft (6) of the drive mechanism (5) is formed by the support shaft of the sun wheel (7) while the internal gear (12) of the planetary gear (5) is formed by the end of the hinge loop (3), which is located on the side facing the hinge pin. The support shafts (18) of the planet wheels (10) are mounted inside at least one support element (14, 15) that is placed lateral to the hinge loop (3) and can be connected in a fixed manner to the vehicle body. Preferably, the at least one support element (14, 15) is embodied as a bearing block (13) upon which the hinge loop (3) is pivotally arranged.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein motorisches System zum automatischen Verschwenken einer Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe (Heckklappe, Motorhaube etc.) um eine Scharnierachse.The invention relates to a motor system for automatically pivoting a vehicle door or vehicle door (tailgate, hood, etc.) about a hinge axis.

Aus der DE 101 17 934 A1 ist ein Kraftfahrzeug mit automatisch verschließbarer Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe (im folgenden auch zusammenfassend nur als Fahrzeugtür bezeichnet) bekannt, bei dem z.B. 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 ihrerseits elektrische Steuersignale zur Aktivierung eines Elektromotors erzeugt, der dann seinerseits über ein nachgeschaltetes Planetengetriebe auf eine hebelförmige Verlängerung des Scharnierbügels einwirkt und die Fahrzeugtür verschwenkt oder verschiebt.From the DE 101 17 934 A1 is a motor vehicle with automatically closable vehicle door or vehicle door (hereinafter also referred to collectively only as a vehicle door) known in which, for example, by a corresponding actuation of a switch provided in the instrument panel, the vehicle door can be closed or opened. 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 in turn acts via a downstream planetary gear on a lever-shaped extension of the hinge bracket and pivots or shifts the vehicle door.

Nachteilig ist bei diesem Kraftfahrzeug unter anderem, daß der Scharnierbügel mit einem zusätzlichen hebelförmigen 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 hebelförmige Verlängerung des Scharnierbügels nicht während ihres gesamten Schwenkweges zum Öffnen der Heckklappe etc. innerhalb des Dachhimmels des entsprechenden Kraftfahrzeuges befindet.A disadvantage of this motor vehicle, inter alia, that the hinge bracket must be provided with an additional lever-shaped part. In addition, the drive is relatively space consuming. Finally, the portion of the drive associated with the hinge bracket is often visible to a third party when the lever-shaped extension of the hinge bracket is not located throughout its pivoting path for opening the tailgate, etc. within the headliner of the corresponding motor vehicle.

Aus dem Dokument US-6 135 536 ist ein motorisches system bekannt, das alle Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.From the document US-6,135,536 a motor system is known which has all the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Getriebe der eingangs erwähnten Art anzugeben, welches eine gegenüber bekannten Antrieben platzsparendere Anordnung von Antrieb und Scharnierbügel erlaubt.The invention has for its object to provide a transmission of the type mentioned, which allows a comparison with known drives space-saving arrangement of drive and hinge bracket.

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, das Planetengetriebe in den Scharnierbügel zu integrieren. Dabei wird die Antriebswelle des Getriebes durch die Trägerachse des Sonnenrades und das Hohlrad durch das scharnierachsenseitige Ende des Scharnierbügels gebildet. Die Trägerachsen der Planetenräder sind dabei in mindestens einem seitlich von dem Scharnierbügel angeordneten Trägerteil gelagert, welches mit der Fahrzeugkarosserie oder einem mit dieser verbundenen Zwischenteil fest verbindbar ist.The invention is based essentially on the idea to integrate the planetary gear in the hinge bracket. In this case, the drive shaft of the transmission is formed by the carrier axis of the sun gear and the ring gear through the hinge axis end of the hinge bracket. The carrier axes of the planetary gears are mounted in at least one laterally arranged by the hinge bracket support member which is fixedly connected to the vehicle body or connected to this intermediate part.

Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei dem Getriebe um ein Zahnradgetriebe, so daß das Hohlrad mit einer Innenverzahnung versehen ist, in welche die Verzahnungen der Planetenräder eingreifen.Preferably, in the transmission is a gear transmission, so that the ring gear is provided with an internal toothing, in which engage the teeth of the planetary gears.

Um eine weitere Bauteilreduzierung zu ermöglichen, hat es sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, den Scharnierbügel auf seiner der Scharnierachse zugewandten Seite schwenkbar mit einem an der Karosserie des Fahrzeuges befestigbaren Lagerbock zu verbinden und die Trägerachsen der Planetenräder des Getriebes in dem Lagerbock zu lagern. Dabei kann der Lagerbock auf seiner dem Scharnierbügel zugewandten Seite gabelförmig ausgebildet sein, so daß die beiden Enden der Trägerachse des jeweiligen Planetenrades in den gabelförmigen Seitenteilen gelagert sind und der Scharnierbügel zwischen den gabelförmigen Seitenteilen verschwenkbar ist.In order to enable a further component reduction, it has proved to be useful to connect the hinge bracket on its side facing the hinge axis pivotally connected to a fastened to the body of the vehicle bearing block and to support the carrier axes of the planet gears of the transmission in the bearing block. In this case, the bearing block may be formed fork-shaped on its side facing the hinge bracket, so that the two ends of the carrier axis of the respective planet gear are mounted in the fork-shaped side parts and the hinge bracket between the fork-shaped side parts is pivotable.

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

  • Fig.1 den Längsschnitt durch einen an der Heckklappe eines Fahrzeuges angeordneten Scharnierbügel mit integriertem Planetengetriebe und
  • Fig.2 einen Querschnitt durch die in Fig.1 dargestellte Anordnung entlang der dort mit II-II bezeichneten Schnittlinie.
Further details and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following with reference to figures explained embodiment. Show it:
  • Fig.1 the longitudinal section through a arranged on the tailgate of a vehicle hinge bracket with integrated planetary gear and
  • Fig.2 a cross section through the in Fig.1 shown arrangement along the there designated II-II cutting line.

In Fig.1 ist mit 1 der hintere dachträgerseitige Bereich eines Kraftfahrzeuges und mit 2 eine Heckklappe (Kofferraumdeckel) bezeichnet, die sich in ihrer geschlossenen Stellung befindet. Die Heckklappe 2 ist über einen Scharnierbügel 3 schwenkbar mit dem Kraftfahrzeug verbunden.In Fig.1 1 is the rear roof carrier side region of a motor vehicle and 2 a tailgate (trunk lid), which is in its closed position. The tailgate 2 is pivotally connected via a hinge bracket 3 to the motor vehicle.

Der Scharnierbügel 3 ist auf seiner der Heckklappe 2 zugewandten Seite drehfest mit dieser verbunden und auf seiner der Scharnierachse 4 zugewandten Seite über ein Planetengetriebe 5 um die Scharnierachse 4 herum schwenkbar ausgebildet. Dabei wird die Scharnierachse 4 durch die Trägerachse 6 des Sonnenrades 7 gebildet (Fig.2), die z.B. mit einem nicht dargestellten Elektromotor verbunden ist. In die Verzahnung 8 des Sonnenrades 7 greifen die Verzahnungen 9 von vier Planetenrädern 10 ein, die ihrerseits in die Innenverzahnung 11 eines Hohlrades 12 eingreifen. Dieses Hohlrad 12 mit Innenverzahnung 11 bildet gleichzeitig den der Scharnierachse 4 zugewandten Endbereich des Scharnierbügels 3.The hinge bracket 3 is rotatably connected on its side facing the tailgate 2 side with this and formed on its hinge axis 4 side facing about a planetary gear 5 about the hinge axis 4 around pivotally. In this case, the hinge axis 4 is formed by the carrier axis 6 of the sun gear 7 ( Fig.2 ), which is connected for example with an electric motor, not shown. In the toothing 8 of the sun gear 7, the teeth 9 of four planetary gears 10 engage, which in turn engage in the internal teeth 11 of a ring gear 12. This ring gear 12 with internal toothing 11 simultaneously forms the hinge axis 4 facing end portion of the hinge bracket third

Der Scharnierbügel 3 ist auf seiner der Scharnierachse 4 zugewandten Seite an einem dachträgerseitig an dem Kraftfahrzeug 1 befestigten Lagerbock 13 schwenkbar angeordnet. Hierzu weist der Lagerbock 13 vorderseitig zwei gabelförmige Seitenteile 14, 15 auf, zwischen denen sich das entsprechende Ende des Scharnierbügels 3 befindet und in denen die beiden Enden 16, 17 der Trägerachse 18 des jeweiligen Planetenrades 10 gelagert sind.The hinge bracket 3 is pivotally mounted on its side facing the hinge axis 4 on a roof carrier side fixed to the motor vehicle 1 bearing block 13. For this purpose, the bearing block 13 on the front side two fork-shaped side parts 14, 15, between which the corresponding end of the hinge bracket 3 is located and in which the two ends 16, 17 of the carrier axis 18 of the respective planet gear 10 are mounted.

Soll, ausgehend von der in Fig.1 dargestellten Stellung der Heckklappe 2, diese geöffnet werden, so wird der nicht dargestellte Elektromotor aktiviert. Dieser dreht über die Trägerachse 6 das Sonnenrad 7, welches über die Planetenräder 10 das Hohlrad 12 bewegt und somit auch den Scharnierbügel 3 nach oben in Richtung des Pfeiles 19 verschwenkt. Sobald die Heckklappe 2 ihre geöffnete Endstellung erreicht hat, schaltet ein nicht dargestellter Sensor über eine Steuereinrichtung den Elektromotor ab. Das Schließen der Heckklappe kann in umgekehrter Reihenfolge erfolgen.Should, starting from the in Fig.1 illustrated position of the tailgate 2, they are opened, the electric motor, not shown, is activated. This rotates about the support shaft 6, the sun gear 7, which moves the ring gear 12 via the planetary gears 10 and thus also pivots the hinge bracket 3 upwards in the direction of the arrow 19. As soon as the tailgate 2 has reached its open end position, an unillustrated sensor switches off the electric motor via a control device. Closing the tailgate can be done in reverse order.

Die Erfindung ist selbstverständlich nicht auf das vorstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt. So muß es sich bei dem Getriebe nicht zwingend um ein Zahnradgetriebe handeln, sondern es können insbesondere zum Verschwenken von leichten Klappen (Motordeckel etc.) auch Planetengetriebe mit z.B. gummierten Rollen verwendet werden, bei denen ein ausreichend hoher Reibschluß zwischen den zu bewegenden Rädern des Getriebes besteht.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above limited. So it must not necessarily be a gear transmission in the transmission, but it can also be used for pivoting light flaps (engine cover, etc.) and planetary gear with eg rubberized rollers, in which a sufficiently high frictional engagement between the wheels to be moved of the transmission consists.

Außerdem braucht der Lagerbock nicht zwingend zwei gabelförmig angeordnete Seitenteile aufzuweisen. Vielmehr kann bei entsprechender Dimensionierung des Lagerbockes und der einzelnen Trägerachsen ausreichen, wenn diese Achsen nur an einer Seitenwand des Lagerbocks gelagert sind.In addition, the bearing block does not necessarily have to have two bifurcated side parts. Rather, can be sufficient with appropriate dimensioning of the bearing block and the individual support axes, if these axes are mounted only on a side wall of the bearing block.
