Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Türfeststeller für Kraftfahrzeuge, mit einer Türhaltestange, einem Haltergehäuse mit einer Durchtrittsöffnung für die Türhaltestange und einer in dem Haltergehäuse angeordneten Arretierungseinheit, wobei an einer Fläche an dem einen von Haltergehäuse und Türhaltestange ein Führungselement angeordnet ist, das an einer gegenüberliegenden Fläche an dem anderen von Haltergehäuse und Türhaltestange derart anliegt, dass die einander gegenüberliegenden Flächen im Bereich des Führungselements relativ zueinander reibungsarm verlagerbar sind.The invention relates to a door lock for motor vehicles, comprising a door retaining bar, a holder housing with a passage opening for the door retaining bar and a locking unit arranged in the holder housing, wherein a guide element is disposed on a surface on the one of the holder housing and door retaining rod, which on an opposite surface the other of holder housing and door retaining rod is applied in such a way that the opposing surfaces in the region of the guide element relative to each other are low friction displaced.

Türfeststeller der eingangs genannten Art sind in vielfältigen Ausgestaltungen aus dem Stand der Technik bspw. aus der DE 10 2006 022 850 A1 und der DE 102 51174 A1 bekannt. Sie dienen dazu, die schwenkbar an einer Fahrzeugkarosserie angelenkte Kraftfahrzeugtür in vorbestimmten Öffnungswinkeln gegenüber der Fahrzeugkarosserie zu arretieren. Die hierfür vorgesehene Arretierungseinheit ist üblicherweise als Rasteinheit ausgebildet, wobei dann eine mit Rastnuten versehene Türhaltestange einerseits schwenkbar an einer Fahrzeugkarosserie und andererseits in dem an der Kraftfahrzeugtür befestigten Haltergehäuse verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Beim Verschwenken der Kraftfahrzeugtür gleitet eine mit den Rastnuten ausgestattete Seitenfläche der Türhaltestange auf einem Rastelement der Arretierungseinheit ab und arretiert so die Fahrzeugtür in vorgegebenen Öffnungspositionen. So offenbart die DE 296 24 414 U1 einen Türfeststeller mit einer Seitenführung, welche in Verbindung mit dem Haltergehäuse befindlich ist und an der Türsange anliegt.Door lock of the type mentioned are in various embodiments of the prior art, for example. From the DE 10 2006 022 850 A1 and the DE 102 51174 A1 known. They serve to lock the hinged on a vehicle body hinged motor vehicle door in predetermined opening angles relative to the vehicle body. The locking unit provided for this purpose is usually designed as a latching unit, wherein then provided with detent door retaining bar is pivotally mounted on the one hand on a vehicle body and on the other hand in the attached to the motor vehicle door holder housing. When pivoting the vehicle door slides equipped with the locking grooves side surface of the door retaining rod on a locking element of the locking unit and thus locks the vehicle door in predetermined opening positions. So revealed the DE 296 24 414 U1 a door lock with a side guide, which is located in connection with the holder housing and rests against the door handle.

Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Türfeststeller weisen jedoch den Nachteil auf, dass es aufgrund der spielbehafteten Anordnung mindestens einer Seitenfläche der Türhaltestange gegenüber der Durchtrittsöffnung während des Fahrbetriebs und insbesondere beim Öffnen und Schließen der Fahrzeugtür zu derartigen Bewegungen der Türhaltestange gegenüber dem Haltergehäuse kommt, durch die störende Kontaktgeräusche, bspw. Klappergeräusche entstehen, die von Fahrzeuginsassen als störend empfunden werden.However, the known from the prior art door retainers have the disadvantage that it comes due to the play-affixed arrangement of at least one side surface of the door retaining bar against the passage opening during driving and in particular when opening and closing the vehicle door to such movements of the door retaining bar relative to the holder housing, through The disturbing contact noise, for example. Rattling noises that are perceived as disturbing by vehicle occupants.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Türfeststeller mit einer Türhaltestange bereitzustellen, bei dem Geräuschbelastungen aufgrund von Relativbewegungen eines Haltergehäuses gegenüber der Türhaltestange weitestgehend vermieden werden.The invention has for its object to provide a door lock with a door retaining bar, in which noise pollution due to relative movements of a holder housing relative to the door retaining bar are largely avoided.

Die Erfindung löst die Aufgabe durch einen Türfeststeller mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.The invention solves the problem by a door lock with the features of the claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Demnach ist vorgesehen, dass das aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Spiel zwischen der Türhaltestange und dem Haltergehäuse durch die Verwendung eines Führungselements ausgeglichen wird. Das Führungselement kann dabei an dem Haltergehäuse oder der Türhaltestange angeordnet sein und befindet sich dann mit einer gegenüberliegenden Fläche in Anlage - im Falle der Anordnung des Führungselements an der Türhaltestange erfolgt die Anlage an dem Haltergehäuse und umgekehrt, - so dass Relativbewegungen zwischen dem Haltergehäuse und der Türhaltestange, welche zu einer Geräuschbelastung führen könnten, durch das Führungselement verhindert werden. Das Führungselement ist dabei derart ausgebildet und liegt derart an der der Befestigungsfläche von Haltergehäuse oder Türhaltestange gegenüberliegenden Fläche von Haltergehäuse oder Türhaltestange an, dass die freie Bewegbarkeit der Türhaltestange gegenüber dem Haltergehäuse gewährleistet ist, wobei insbesondere die zwischen dem Führungselement und der zugeordneten Oberfläche bestehenden Reibung derart gering ausgestaltet ist, dass diese weitestgehend keinen Einfluss auf die Rast- und Bewegungskräfte des Türfeststellers hat.Accordingly, it is envisaged that the known from the prior art game between the door retaining rod and the holder housing is compensated by the use of a guide member. The guide element can be arranged on the holder housing or the door retaining bar and is then with an opposite surface in abutment - in the case of the arrangement of the guide element on the door retaining rod, the system takes place on the holder housing and vice versa, - so that relative movements between the holder housing and the Door retaining bar, which could lead to a noise pollution, are prevented by the guide element. The guide element is designed in such a way and rests against the mounting surface of the holder housing or door retaining rod opposite surface of the holder housing or door retaining rod, that the free mobility of the door retaining bar relative to the holder housing is ensured, in particular the between the guide member and the associated surface friction is designed low, that this has largely no influence on the latching and movement forces of the door arrester.

Kennzeichnend für den erfindungsgemäßen Türfeststeller ist, dass das Führungselement an einer Seitenfläche der Türhaltestange angeordnet ist und an einer Innenwand der Durchtrittsöffnung anliegt. Diese erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung lässt sich in besonders einfacher Weise herstellen, nachdem sämtliche Seitenflächen der Türhaltestange besonders einfach zugänglich sind und sich somit besonders kostengünstig mit einem Führungselement versehen lassen. Gemäß dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung findet sich das mit der Türhaltestange befestigte Führungselement in Anlage mit einer Innenwand der Durchtrittsöffnung, so dass die Türhaltestange spielfrei gegenüber dem Haltergehäuse und somit geräuschfrei betrieben werden kann.Characteristic of the door lock according to the invention is that the guide element is arranged on a side surface of the door retaining bar and rests against an inner wall of the passage opening. This embodiment of the invention can be produced in a particularly simple manner, after all side surfaces of the door retaining bar are particularly easy to access and thus can be particularly cost-effectively provided with a guide element. In accordance with this embodiment of the invention, the guide element fastened with the door retaining rod is in contact with an inner wall of the passage opening, so that the door retaining rod can be operated without play relative to the holder housing and thus without noise.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann zum einen in wirkungsvoller Weise dem Entstehen von der Geräuschbelastung vorgebeugt werden, gleichzeitig wird zum anderen die freie Verlagerbarkeit der Türhaltestange gegenüber dem Haltergehäuse gewährleistet, so dass ein besonders zuverlässiger Türfeststeller bereit gestellt werden kann.By means of this embodiment of the invention, on the one hand, the emergence of the noise load can be effectively prevented, while on the other hand the free displaceability of the door retaining bar relative to the holder housing is ensured, so that a particularly reliable door fastener can be provided.

Als Seitenflächen der Türhaltestange zur Anordnung des Führungselements kommen dabei grundsätzlich alle Seitenflächen in Betracht, welche entlang der Durchtrittsöffnung bewegt werden, wobei bevorzugt die Seitenflächen des Führungselements verwendet werden, welche benachbart zu den üblicherweise mit Rastmarken versehenen Ober- und/oder Unterseiten angeordnet sind.As side surfaces of the door retaining bar for the arrangement of the guide element are basically all side surfaces into consideration, which are moved along the passage opening, wherein preferably the side surfaces of the guide element are used, which are adjacent to the usually provided with latching marks upper and / or lower sides.

Bereits durch die Verwendung eines einzigen Führungselements an der Türhaltestange oder dem Haltergehäuse kann erreicht werden, dass eine spielfreie Verlagerung der Türhaltestange gegenüber dem Haltergehäuse erfolgt, so dass störenden Klappergeräuschen wirksam vorgebeugt wird. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass an einander gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen der Türhaltestange jeweils ein Führungselement angeordnet ist. Jedes dieser Führungselemente liegt an einer von zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Innenwänden der Durchtrittsöffnung an. Gemäß dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird somit die Türhaltestange an zwei gegenüberliegenden Flächen in der Durchtrittsöffnung abgestützt. Durch diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann eine besonders reibungsarme Verlagerbarkeit der Türhaltestange gegenüber dem Haltergehäuse gewährleistet werden.Already by the use of a single guide element on the door retaining bar or the holder housing can be achieved that a play-free displacement of the door retaining bar relative to the holder housing takes place so that disturbing rattling noises is effectively prevented. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that in each case a guide element is arranged on opposite side surfaces of the door retaining bar. Each of these guide elements abuts against one of two opposite inner walls of the passage opening. According to this embodiment of the invention thus the door retaining bar is supported on two opposite surfaces in the passage opening. By this embodiment of the invention, a particularly low-friction displaceability of the door retaining bar relative to the holder housing can be ensured.

Die Ausgestaltung des Führungselements ist grundsätzlich frei wählbar. So kann dieses bspw. durch mehrere, sich vorzugsweise in Längsachsenrichtung der Türhaltestange erstreckende Abstützelemente, aber auch durch einzelne, punktförmige Vorsprünge gebildet sein. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass das Führungselement durch ein sich in Längsachsenrichtung der Türhaltestange erstreckenden Vorsprung gebildet ist. Diese Ausgestaltung der Erfindung lässt sich besonders einfach und kostengünstig herstellen und ermöglicht zudem eine optimale Anpassung des Führungselements an die bestehenden Abständen zwischen der Türhaltestange und dem Haltegehäuse.The design of the guide element is basically arbitrary. For example, this may be formed by a plurality of supporting elements extending preferably in the longitudinal axis direction of the door-holding bar, but also by individual point-shaped projections. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the guide element is formed by a projection extending in the longitudinal axis direction of the door retaining bar. This embodiment of the invention is particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture and also allows optimal adaptation of the guide element to the existing distances between the door retaining bar and the holding housing.

Um aufgrund der bestehenden Kontaktierung zwischen dem Führungselement und der Türhaltestange oder Haltergehäuse trotzdem eine möglichst freie Verschwenkbarkeit der Türhaltestange gegenüber dem Haltergehäuse zu erreichen, können grundsätzlich beliebige Ausgestaltungen des Führungselements gewählt werden. So kann das Führungselement bspw. mit Lagerelementen versehen sein, die eine Reibungsarme Verschiebung der Türhaltestange gegenüber dem Haltergehäuse gewährleisten. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass das Führungselement derart ausgebildet ist, dass es linienförmig an der Innenwand der Durchtrittsöffnung anliegt. Gemäß dieser Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, wonach das Führungselement an der Türhaltestange angeordnet ist, ist, bspw. ein sich in Längsachsenrichtung erstreckender Vorsprung, welcher als rippenförmiger Körper ausgebildet sein kann, im Kontaktbereich mit der Durchtrittsöffnung derart ausgestaltet, dass eine möglichst geringe Kontaktfläche besteht. Durch die Reduzierung der Kontaktfläche wird die Reibung verringert, so dass die durch die Führungseinheit bewirkte Spielfreiheit keinen Einfluss auf die Rast- und Bewegungskräfte des Türfeststellers hat.In order to achieve due to the existing contact between the guide element and the door retaining bar or holder housing nevertheless a possible free pivoting of the door retaining bar relative to the holder housing, basically any configurations of the guide element can be selected. Thus, for example, the guide element may be provided with bearing elements which ensure a low-friction displacement of the door retaining bar relative to the holder housing. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided that the guide element is designed such that it bears linearly against the inner wall of the passage opening. According to this embodiment of the invention, according to which the guide element is arranged on the door retaining bar, for example a projection extending in the longitudinal axis direction, which may be formed as a rib-shaped body, is designed in the contact region with the passage opening such that the smallest possible contact surface exists. By reducing the contact surface, the friction is reduced, so that the clearance caused by the guide unit has no influence on the latching and movement forces of the door arrester.

Besonders vorteilhafterweise ist dabei nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das Führungselement, bspw. ein sich rippenartig in Längsachsenrichtung der Türhaltestange erstreckender Vorsprung, eine sich in Längsachsenrichtung erstreckende Aussparung aufweist. Die Ausbildung einer Aussparung im Kontaktbereich des Führungselements, bspw. des Vorsprungs im Kontaktbereich mit bspw. der Innenwand der Durchtrittsöffnung im Falle der Anordnung des Führungselements an der Türhaltestange, ermöglicht es, in einfacher Weise die Kontaktfläche zwischen dem Führungselement und der Innenwand zu reduzieren, wodurch in besonderer Weise gewährleistet werden kann, dass die Reibung keinen Einfluss auf die Bedienbarkeit des Türfeststellers hat.According to a development of the invention, it is particularly advantageously provided that the guide element, for example a projection extending rib-like in the longitudinal axis direction of the door retaining bar, has a recess extending in the longitudinal axis direction. The formation of a recess in the contact region of the guide element, for example. The projection in the contact area with, for example, the inner wall of the passage opening in the case of the arrangement of the guide member on the door retaining rod, makes it possible to reduce the contact surface between the guide member and the inner wall in a simple manner It can be guaranteed in a special way that the friction has no influence on the operability of the door arrester.

Das Führungselement kann grundsätzlich über die gesamte Länge der Türhaltestange angeordnet sein. Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist jedoch vorgesehen, das Führungselement in Längsachsenrichtung der Türhaltestange auf den Funktionsbereich des Türfeststellers begrenzt ist. Hierdurch kann bei gleichzeitig gewährleisteter Funktionssicherheit in ergänzender Weise gewährleistet werden, dass sich der Türfeststeller besonders einfach und kostengünstig in der erfindungsgemäßen Weise ausgestalten lässt.The guide element can basically be arranged over the entire length of the door retaining bar. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, however, it is provided, the guide element in the longitudinal axis direction of the door retaining bar on the functional area the door arrester is limited. This can be ensured in a complementary manner while ensuring functional reliability that the door lock can be particularly simple and inexpensive ausgestalten in the manner of the invention.

Das Führungselement kann grundsätzlich, wie bereits eingangs dargestellt, in beliebiger Form ausgestaltet sein. Auch die Materialwahl für das Führungselement ist grundsätzlich frei wählbar, wobei jedoch nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen ist, dass das Führungselement aus einem gleitfähigen Kunststoff gebildet ist, welcher eine besonders zuverlässige Verlagerung der Türhaltestange gegenüber der Durchtrittsöffnung ermöglicht.The guide element can basically, as already shown, be configured in any form. The choice of material for the guide element is basically arbitrary, but is provided according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention that the guide element is formed of a lubricious plastic, which allows a particularly reliable displacement of the door retaining bar against the passage opening.

Fig. 2
an enlarged view of the door arrester of Fig. 1 in the region of a passage opening of the holder housing and
Fig. 3
in a schematic representation of an enlarged sectional view of a door arranged on a door guide member.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Türfeststeller 1 mit einem Haltergehäuse 3 und einer Türhaltestange 2 dargestellt. Zur Anlenkung einer hier nicht dargestellten Fahrzeugtür an einer hier ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Fahrzeugkarosserie unter Verwendung des Türfeststellers 1 wird das Haltergehäuse 3 derart an der Fahrzeugtür angeordnet, dass sich die über die Säulenkonsole 7 gelenkig mit der Fahrzeugkarosserie verbundene Türhaltestange 2 durch eine Durchtrittsöffnung 10 des Haltergehäuses 3 bewegen kann. Um die dabei notwendige Verschwenkung der Türhaltestange 2 gegenüber der Fahrzeugkarosserie zu gewährleisten, ist die Säulenkonsole 7 über einen Gelenkbolzen 9 gelenkig mit der Türhaltestange 2 verbunden. Die Türkonsole 7 ist dabei unter Verwendung einer hier nicht dargestellten Befestigungsschraube, welche sich durch eine Durchgangsöffnung 8 erstreckt, an der Fahrzeugkarosserie befestigt.In Fig. 1 a door lock 1 is shown with a holder housing 3 and a door retaining bar 2. For coupling a vehicle door, not shown here, to a vehicle body, likewise not shown here, using the door arrester 1, the retainer housing 3 is arranged on the vehicle door such that the door retaining bar 2 connected pivotally to the vehicle body via the column console 7 passes through a passage opening 10 of the retainer housing 3 can move. In order to ensure the necessary pivoting of the door retaining bar 2 relative to the vehicle body, the pillar bracket 7 is pivotally connected via a hinge pin 9 with the door retaining bar 2. The door bracket 7 is fastened using a fastening screw, not shown here, which extends through a through hole 8, to the vehicle body.

Der maximale Öffnungswinkel der Fahrzeugtür wird durch einen Anschlagkörper 6 bestimmt, der an dem dem Bolzen 9 gegenüberliegenden Ende der Türhaltestange 2 angeordnet ist und in der Endlage an dem Haltergehäuse 3 anliegt.The maximum opening angle of the vehicle door is determined by a stop body 6, which is arranged at the opposite end of the pin 9 of the door retaining bar 2 is and rests in the end position on the holder housing 3.

Die Türhaltestange 2 weist an ihren, in der Einbaulage eine Ober- und Unterseite bildenden Oberflächen, Rastnuten 5 auf, die mit Rastelementen einer innerhalb des Haltergehäuses 3 angeordneten Rasteinheit zusammenwirken. In der durch die Anordnung der Rastnuten 5 festgelegten Öffnungsposition der Fahrzeugtür greifen die Rastelemente der Rasteinheit in die Rastnuten 5 ein und arretieren so die Fahrzeugtür.The door retaining bar 2 has at its, in the installed position an upper and lower side forming surfaces, locking grooves 5, which cooperate with latching elements arranged within the holder housing 3 latching unit. In the fixed by the arrangement of the locking grooves 5 opening position of the vehicle door engage the locking elements of the locking unit in the locking grooves 5 and thus lock the vehicle door.

In Längsachsenrichtung betrachtet weist die Türhaltestange 2 ferner einen an einer Seitenfläche 13 angeordneten Vorsprung 4 auf, welcher einen im Querschnitt gewölbten Verlauf aufweist. Das Führungselement 4 liegt dabei mit seiner Außenseite an einer Innenwand 11 der Durchtrittsöffnung 10 des Haltergehäuses 3 an, so dass die Türhaltestange 2 spielfrei gegenüber dem Haltergehäuse 3 bewegt werden kann (vgl. Fig. 2 und 3).Viewed in the longitudinal axis direction, the door retaining bar 2 also has a projection 4 arranged on a side face 13, which has a curved profile in cross-section. The guide element 4 rests with its outer side against an inner wall 11 of the passage opening 10 of the holder housing 3, so that the door holding rod 2 can be moved without play relative to the holder housing 3 (see. Fig. 2 and 3 ).

Zur Minimierung der Reibung weist der Vorsprung 4 im Kontaktbereich mit der Innenwand 11 einen Vorsprung 12 auf, welcher sich ebenfalls in Längsachsenrichtung des Vorsprungs 4 erstreckt und durch den insgesamt die Berührungsfläche reduziert und somit Einflüsse auf die Haptik des Türfeststellers 1 vermieden werden können.In order to minimize the friction, the projection 4 in the contact area with the inner wall 11 has a projection 12, which also extends in the longitudinal axis direction of the projection 4 and reduced by the total contact area and thus influences on the feel of the door arrester 1 can be avoided.
