Eine Steck-Dreh-Verbindung ist insbesondere eine Verbindung, bei der eine Verbindung über einen Steckvorgang und einen sich daran anschließenden Drehvorgang hergestellt wird. Ein Beispiel für eine derartige Steck-Dreh-Verbindung ist ein so genannter Bajonettverschluss. Eine Radialklemmung bezieht sich auf eine Klemmrichtung, die senkrecht zu einer Längsachse des Anschlagelements erfolgt. Eine axiale Richtung des Anschlagelements ist im Grunde genommen eine Richtung, in die ein Anschlag wirkt, das heißt eine Richtung im Wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem lageveränderbaren Element und/oder der Fahrzeugkarosserie. Eine Radialklemmung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung kann auch bedeuten, dass eine Klemmung in Richtung einer Ebene des lageveränderbaren Elements oder der Fahrzeugkarosserie erfolgt.The variable position element can be a body flap.

Dies bedeutet, dass zumindest an dem Klemmabschnitt der äußere Umfang des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs zumindest teilweise größer ist als ein innerer Umfang der Aufnahmeöffnung an dem zugehörigen Klemmabschnitt in der Aufnahmeöffnung.This means that, at least on the clamping section, the outer circumference of the plug-and-turn connection projection is at least partially larger than an inner circumference of the receiving opening on the associated clamping section in the receiving opening.
Durch das radiale Übermaß ist die Radialklemmung einfach herstellbar.The radial clamping is easy to produce due to the radial oversize.

Klemmkraft wirken kann. Hierdurch ist eine radiale Befestigung bzw. Klemmung besonders einfach herstellbar.In other words, at the clamping section of the outer circumference and the associated clamping section of the inner circumference, a radial excess increases progressively with increasing rotation, as a result of which a progressively higher fastening force or clamping force can act. This makes it particularly easy to produce a radial attachment or clamping.
Bevorzugt kann bei der Anschlaganordnung der Klemmabschnitt des äußeren Umfangs des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs - sowohl bei exzentrischer als auch bei nicht exzentrischer Ausbildung des Klemmabschnitts des äußeren Umfangs und/oder des zugehörigen Klemmabschnitts des inneren Umfangs - Rippen aufweisen, die derart angeordnet sind, dass sich Rippen und Täler, Bereiche zwischen den Rippen bilden, in radialer Richtung, also quer zur Drehrichtung des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs in radialer Richtung abwechseln, wobei die Rippen insbesondere elastisch und/oder plastisch verformbar sind.In the case of the stop arrangement, the clamping section of the outer circumference of the plug-and-turn connection projection can preferably be Circumference and/or the associated clamping section of the inner circumference - have ribs which are arranged in such a way that ribs and valleys, areas between the ribs, form in the radial direction, i.e. transversely to the direction of rotation of the plug-and-turn connection projection in the radial direction, alternate, the ribs being in particular elastically and/or plastically deformable.
Rippen haben den Vorteil, dass sie sich im Vergleich zu einer durchgängigen Fläche leichter elastisch bzw. plastisch verformen lassen. Damit ist eine bessere Klemmwirkung möglich. Ferner ist ein größerer Drehwinkel des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs bis zum Erreichen der gewünschten Klemmkraft möglich.Ribs have the advantage that they can be elastically or plastically deformed more easily than a continuous surface. A better clamping effect is thus possible. Furthermore, a larger angle of rotation of the plug-and-turn connection projection is possible until the desired clamping force is reached.
Bevorzugt ist bei der Anschlaganordnung mit dem Klemmabschnitt des äußeren Umfangs und dem zugehörigen Klemmabschnitt des inneren Umfangs der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung mit mehreren Klemmabschnitten, z. B. zwei, drei oder vier Klemmabschnitten, ausgebildet, wobei die mehreren Klemmabschnitte insbesondere symmetrisch am Umfang des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs angeordnet sind und die Aufnahmeöffnung die gleiche Anzahl an zugehörigen Klemmabschnitten des inneren Umfangs aufweist.In the case of the stop arrangement with the clamping section of the outer circumference and the associated clamping section of the inner circumference, the plug-and-turn connection projection with a plurality of clamping sections, e.g. B. two, three or four clamping sections, wherein the plurality of clamping sections are arranged in particular symmetrically on the circumference of the plug-and-turn connection projection and the receiving opening has the same number of associated clamping sections of the inner circumference.
Mehrere Klemmabschnitte, insbesondere dann, wenn die mehreren Klemmabschnitte im Wesentlichen symmetrisch am Umfang des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs angeordnet sind, ist eine radial zentrierende Wirkung besonders einfach herstellbar.A radial centering effect can be produced particularly easily with a plurality of clamping sections, in particular when the plurality of clamping sections are arranged essentially symmetrically on the circumference of the plug-and-turn connection projection.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anschlaganordnung mit dem Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung weist der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung ferner einen Flansch zum Hintergreifen des Rands der Aufnahmeöffnung auf. Insbesondere kann der Flansch eine axiale Fixierung, insbesondere eine Axialklemmung, des Anschlagelements bewirken.In the case of the stop arrangement according to the invention with the plug-and-turn connection projection, the plug-and-turn connection projection also has a flange for gripping behind the edge of the receiving opening. In particular, the flange can bring about an axial fixation, in particular an axial clamping, of the stop element.
Bevorzugt hat bei der Anschlaganordnung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung eine dem Flansch gegenüberliegende Fläche zur Anlage an einem Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung.Preferably, in the striker assembly according to the present invention, the plug-and-turn connection projection has a surface opposite the flange for abutting an edge of the receiving opening.
Das Anschlagelement kann demnach in axialer Richtung durch den Flansch und die gegenüber liegende Fläche des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs, zwischen denen der Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung angeordnet ist, gehalten werden. Der Flansch und die gegenüber liegende Fläche können dabei so ausgebildet sein, dass der Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung zwischen dem Flansch und der gegenüberliegenden Fläche geklemmt wird, insbesondere wenn der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung gedreht wird.Accordingly, the stop element can be held in the axial direction by the flange and the opposite surface of the plug-and-turn connection projection, between which the edge of the receiving opening is arranged. The flange and the opposite surface can be designed in such a way that the edge of the receiving opening is clamped between the flange and the opposite surface, in particular when the plug-and-turn connection projection is rotated.
Die gegenüberliegende Fläche kann durchgängig ausgebildet sein oder kann Unterbrechungen aufweisen.The opposing surface may be continuous or may have discontinuities.
Bevorzugt weist der Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung eine Aussparung zum Durchgang des Flansches auf.The edge of the receiving opening preferably has a recess for the passage of the flange.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Anschlaganordnung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung kann der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung aus Kunststoff ausgebildet sein.According to a development of the stop arrangement according to the present invention, the plug-and-turn connection projection can be made of plastic.
Hierdurch kann der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung leicht gefertigt werden, es besteht kein Korrosionsproblem zwischen dem Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung und dem lageveränderbaren Element bzw. der Fahrzeugkarosserie, und eine Klemmwirkung kann schon mit einem kleinen Drehmoment erzielt werden. Bevorzugt hat bei der Anschlaganordnung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung das Anschlagelement ein einstellbares Anschlagteil.As a result, the plug-and-turn connection projection can be easily manufactured, there is no problem of corrosion between the plug-and-turn connection projection and the positionable member or the vehicle body, and a clamping effect can be achieved even with a small torque. Preferably, in the stop assembly according to the present invention, the stop member has an adjustable stop member.
Hiermit kann die Höhe des Anschlagelements und damit die Lage des lageveränderbaren Elements in Anschlaglage festgelegt werden.With this, the height of the stop element and thus the position of the variable-position element in the stop position can be fixed.
Das Anschlagelement der Anschlaganordnung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung kann ferner mit einem elastisch verformbaren Bereich versehen sein, der insbesondere in axialer Richtung des Anschlagelements verformbar ist.The stop element of the stop arrangement according to the present invention can also be provided with an elastically deformable area which is deformable in particular in the axial direction of the stop element.
Hierdurch kann ein Überführen des lageveränderbaren Elements in die Anschlaglage gedämpft werden. Ferner kann damit eine gewisse Vorspannung des lageveränderbaren Elements in der Anschlaglage verwirklicht werden.As a result, a transfer of the variable-position element into the stop position can be dampened. Furthermore, a certain prestressing of the variable-position element in the stop position can thus be realized.
Weiterhin ist bei der Anschlaganordnung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung das Anschlagelement in eine Aufnahmeöffnung des lageveränderbaren Elements oder der Fahrzeugkarosserie einsteckbar und durch anschließendes Drehen fixierbar. Bevorzugt ist bei der Anschlaganordnung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung das lageveränderbare Element über zumindest ein Scharnier mit der Fahrzeugkarosserie verbunden und in einer Anschlaglage mit einer Verriegelungseinrichtung verriegelbar oder zumindest einschnappbar.Furthermore, in the case of the stop arrangement according to the present invention, the stop element can be inserted into a receiving opening of the variable-position element or the vehicle body and can be fixed by subsequent rotation. In the stop arrangement according to the present invention, the variable-position element is preferably connected to the vehicle body via at least one hinge and can be locked or at least snapped into a stop position with a locking device.

Nachstehend erfolgt eine Beschreibung der Ausführungsbeispiele gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren.The following is a description of the embodiments according to the present invention with reference to the figures.
Ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel ist anhand der
In
Die Steck-Dreh-Verbindung 9 ist insbesondere durch einen Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung 13 des Anschlagelements 7 und eine Aufnahmeöffnung 15 der Fahrzeugkarosserie 5 ausgebildet. Der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung 13 weist einen Flansch 23 auf, der einen Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung 15 hintergreift. Der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung 13 ist in axialer Richtung formschlüssig durch den Flansch 23 und eine dem Flansch 23 gegenüberliegende Fläche 21 gehalten.The plug-and-
In
Das Aufnahmeloch 15 hat vier Klemmabschnitte 19 an dem inneren Umfang der Aufnahmeöffnung 15. Gegenüberliegende Klemmabschnitte 19 sind dabei jeweils identisch ausgebildet, wobei sich benachbarte Klemmabschnitte 19 voneinander unterscheiden. Es können aber auch alle vier Klemmabschnitte gleich ausgebildet sein. Es wäre auch möglich z. B. nur drei gleiche Klemmabschnitte auszubilden. Die Klemmabschnitte 19 sind in Bezug auf die Mittelachse oder Längsachse der Aufnahmeöffnung 15 bzw. des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs 13 exzentrisch ausgebildet.The receiving
Ferner weist der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung 13 vier Klemmabschnitte 17 auf, die den Klemmabschnitten 19 zugehörig bzw. gegenüberliegend ausgebildet sind. Die Klemmabschnitte 19 bzw. 17 sind symmetrisch zur Längsachse des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs 13 bzw. der Aufnahmeöffnung 15 ausgebildet.Furthermore, the plug-and-
Die Klemmabschnitte 17 an dem Umfang des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs 13 sind in Form von quer zur Schnittebene verlaufenden Rippen 171 ausgebildet, zwischen denen sich Täler 172 erstrecken. Insbesondere weist jeder Klemmabschnitt 17 drei Rippen 171 auf. Eine Verbindungslinie bzw. -Fläche der vorderen Enden der Rippen 171 ist in einer Exzenterform, d. h. exzentrisch in Bezug auf die Längsachse des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs 13, ausgebildet. Anders ausgedrückt weist jeder Klemmabschnitt 17 eine exzentrische Fläche auf, durch die Täler im Wesentlichen parallel zur Längsachse verlaufen. Die Rippen 171 sind durch ihre Geometrie bei einem Drehen des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs 13 elastisch verformbar und ermöglichen eine besonders gute Klemmwirkung.The clamping
In
Durch die beschriebene Anschlaganordnung kann das Anschlagelement 7 von einer Seite an der Fahrzeugkarosserie 5 oder alternativ an der Heckklappe 3 montiert werden. Insbesondere kann das Anschlagelement 7 in Bezug auf die radiale Position besonders genau positioniert werden, da, wie beschrieben, die Klemmverbindung radial zentrierend wirkt. Ferner, da die Verbindung als eine Radialklemmung ausgebildet ist, ist es nicht möglich, das Anschlagelement 7 in eine radiale Richtung zu verschieben. Zusätzlich wirkt die Radialklemmung auch zumindest kraftschlüssig in axialer Richtung. Hierdurch können Anforderungen an Toleranzen für die axiale formschlüssige Halterung durch den Flansch 23 und die gegenüberliegende Fläche 21 verringert werden.The described stop arrangement allows the
Das Anschlagelement 7 bzw. insbesondere der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung 13, sind aus Kunststoff gefertigt, während die Fahrzeugkarosserie durch ein Blech ausgebildet ist.The
Neben der vorstehend beschriebenen Radialklemmung weist die Steck-Dreh-Verbindung 9 auch noch eine Axialklemmung auf, die durch den Flansch 23 und die gegenüberliegende Fläche 21 ausgebildet ist. Die gegenüberliegende Fläche 21 des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs 13 dient zur Anlage an der Fahrzeugkarosserie 5, insbesondere dem Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung 15. Der Flansch 23 hintergreift den Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung 15. Der Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung 15 weist ferner vier Aussparungen 25 auf, die einen Durchgang des Flansches 23 und auch der Klemmabschnitte 17 bei einem Einstecken des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung 13 in die Aufnahmeöffnung 15 ermöglichen. Bei dem Schritt des Drehens des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs 13 kann dann der Flansch 23 den Rand der Aufnahmeöffnung 15 hintergreifen, so dass die Wirkung ähnlich eines Bajonettverschlusses erzielt ist. Des Weiteren weist der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung 13 zwei Stopperteile 27 auf, die jeweils in einer von zwei gegenüberliegenden Aussparungen 25 aufgenommen sind und einen Drehwinkel des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs 13 begrenzen.In addition to the radial clamping described above, the push-
Da die Anschlaganordnung gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung nicht nur eine Axialklemmung aufweist, sondern auch eine sehr wirksame Radialklemmung des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs 13 an der Aufnahmeöffnung 15, ist eine Anforderung an die Genauigkeit einer Höhe der Aufnahmeöffnung 15 erheblich reduziert, wie bereits vorstehend erläutert ist.Since the stop assembly according to the first embodiment of the present invention has not only an axial clamping, but also a very effective radial clamping of the plug-and-
Damit lässt sich der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung auch leicht an einer in einem Karosserieblech verprägten Aufnahmeöffnung, deren Maßgenauigkeit geringer ist, montieren.In this way, the plug-and-turn connection projection can also be easily mounted on a receiving opening stamped in a body panel, the dimensional accuracy of which is lower.
In
Nachstehend ist eine Anschlaganordnung gemäß einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel der vorliegenden Erfindung beschrieben, wobei eine Beschreibung von Merkmalen, die mit dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel übereinstimmen, weggelassen ist. Das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel ist in den Figuren nicht dargestellt.A stopper assembly according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described below, with description of features common to the first embodiment being omitted. The second embodiment is not shown in the figures.
Im Unterschied zu dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel sind bei dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel Klemmflächen einer Aufnahmeöffnung nicht exzentrisch ausgeführt. Es sind lediglich Klemmflächen des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs exzentrisch ausgebildet. Ähnlich zu dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Klemmflächen des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs durch Rippen gebildet, die in Längsrichtung des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs verlaufen und elastisch und/oder plastisch verformbar sind, wenn das Anschlagelement mit dem Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung in Klemmrichtung gedreht wird.In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, clamping surfaces of a receiving opening are not designed eccentrically in the second exemplary embodiment. Only clamping surfaces of the plug-and-turn connection projection are designed eccentrically. Similar to the first embodiment, the clamping surfaces of the plug-turn connection projection are formed by ribs that run in the longitudinal direction of the plug-turn connection projection and are elastically and/or plastically deformable when the stop element with the plug-turn connection projection is rotated in the clamping direction becomes.
Gleichermaßen zu dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel wirkt die Steck-Dreh-Verbindung des zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels radial zentrierend und der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung ist bei vollständiger Montage des Anschlagelements radial nicht verschiebbar.In the same way as in the first exemplary embodiment, the plug-and-turn connection of the second exemplary embodiment has a radially centering effect and the plug-and-turn connection projection cannot be displaced radially when the stop element is fully assembled.
Das erste und das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel, die vorstehend beschrieben sind, sind jeweils mit vier Klemmflächenpaarungen - ein Paarung wird durch eine Klemmfläche der Aufnahmeöffnung und eine zugehörige Klemmfläche des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs gebildet - ausgebildet. In einer Modifikation dieser Ausführungsbeispiele können alternativ auch drei oder fünf Klemmflächenpaarungen vorgesehen sein. Ebenso ist eine Alternative mit zwei Klemmflächenpaarungen denkbar.The first and second embodiments described above each have four pairings of clamping surfaces - one pairing being formed by a clamping surface of the receiving opening and a corresponding clamping surface of the push-pull connection boss formed - trained. In a modification of these exemplary embodiments, three or five pairs of clamping surfaces can also be provided as an alternative. An alternative with two pairs of clamping surfaces is also conceivable.
Ferner sind die Klemmflächen des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs mit Rippen ausgebildet. Alternativ können diese Klemmflächen jedoch auch ähnlich den gezeigten Klemmflächen an der Aufnahmeöffnung ohne Rippen ausgebildet sein.Furthermore, the clamping surfaces of the plug-and-turn connection projection are formed with ribs. Alternatively, however, these clamping surfaces can also be designed similarly to the clamping surfaces shown on the receiving opening without ribs.
Ferner ist es denkbar, dass die Klemmflächen des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs nicht exzentrisch ausgebildet sind, wohingegen die Klemmflächen der Aufnahmeöffnung exzentrisch ausgebildet sind.Furthermore, it is conceivable that the clamping surfaces of the plug-and-turn connection projection are not formed eccentrically, whereas the clamping surfaces of the receiving opening are formed eccentrically.
Letztendlich ist jedwede Ausbildung von Klemmflächen möglich, sofern eine Klemmflächenpaarung eine Radialklemmung bei einem Drehen des Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs ermöglicht.Finally, any configuration of clamping surfaces is possible, provided that a pair of clamping surfaces enables radial clamping when the plug-and-rotate connection projection rotates.
Der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung der vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiele ist aus Kunststoff ausgebildet, wohingegen die Fahrzeugkarosserie, bzw. der Teil der Fahrzeugkarosserie, an dem das Anschlagelement befestigt wird, aus einem Blech ausgebildet ist. Selbstverständlich kann der Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung auch aus einem metallischen Material bestehen und ebenso kann die Fahrzeugkarosserie aus einem Kunststoff oder aus einem faserverstärkten Kunststoff bestehen.The plug-and-turn connection projection of the present exemplary embodiments is made of plastic, whereas the vehicle body, or the part of the vehicle body to which the stop element is attached, is made of sheet metal. Of course, the plug-and-turn connection projection can also consist of a metallic material and the vehicle body can also consist of a plastic or a fiber-reinforced plastic.
Um das gleiche Anschlagelement mit dem gleichen Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprung an unterschiedliche Schnittstellen in der Fahrzeugkarosserie bzw. in einer Karosserieklappe montieren zu können, sollte eine Höhe des Aufnahmelochs in etwa gleich sein. Um das bei unterschiedlichen Blechdicken realisieren zu können, ist es denkbar, ein Blech im Bereich der Aufnahmeöffnung auf die gewünschte Standardhöhe zu verprägen. Da eine derartige Verprägung nur innerhalb eines gewissen Genauigkeitsbereichs erfolgen kann, d. h. eine Höhe des Aufnahmelochs unterliegt dann Schwankungen in einem bestimmten Toleranzbereich, ist die vorliegende Erfindung besonders vorteilhaft, da sie nicht nur eine Axialklemmung sondern insbesondere eine feste Radialklemmung des Anschlagelements bzw. Steck-Dreh-Verbindungsvorsprungs ermöglicht. Hierdurch sind die Anforderungen an eine Axialklemmung deutlich niedriger bei gleichbleibender Dauerhaftigkeit der Befestigung des Anschlagselements an der Fahrzeugkarosserie bzw. an der Karosserieklappe.In order to be able to mount the same stop element with the same plug-and-turn connection projection at different interfaces in the vehicle body or in a body flap, the height of the receiving hole should be approximately the same. In order to be able to do this with different sheet metal thicknesses, it is conceivable to emboss a sheet of metal to the desired standard height in the area of the receiving opening. Since such an embossing can only take place within a certain range of accuracy, ie the height of the receiving hole is then subject to fluctuations within a certain tolerance range, the present invention is particularly advantageous since it not only provides axial clamping but in particular fixed radial clamping of the stop element or plug-and-turn connection projection allows. As a result, the requirements for axial clamping are significantly lower while the durability of the attachment of the stop element to the vehicle body or to the body flap remains the same.
