- a gearwheel with which a Bowden cable is connected is released.
- the Bowden cable connected to the gearwheel is mechanically coupled to the door lock so that the Bowden cable is pulled when the gearwheel moves can be.
- the gear cooperates with a rack, which in turn is attached to the handle. By releasing the gear, the handle part can be pulled out of the outer skin of the motor vehicle so that it can pivot, whereby the rack meshes with the gear and pulls on the Bowden cable.
- a mechanical actuation of the lock is available.
- a handle device for opening an electric lock is from the DE 10 2006 029 774 A1 known.
- a handle element that is movably received on one side is arranged in a fixed handle part. Inside the handle element there is a sensor with which a signal can be passed on to the lock, so that when the handle element is gripped, an opening command can be forwarded to the electric lock.
- the handle element does not have to be moved to operate the electric lock.
- mechanical actuation of the lock is provided.
- the movably arranged handle element interacts with a power lock unit that has to be overcome to activate the mechanical connection element to the lock.
- the power lock unit can be, for example, a compression spring or a snap connection.
- a device for opening a door or flap on a motor vehicle in which a handle part is pivotally mounted in a body part.
- the handle part is supported on one side and on the opposite side of the bearing by a small stroke
- the stroke is limited, a path limiting means being used which can engage in the handle part in an electrically actuated manner or can be moved out of the engagement area of the handle part.
- the small stroke of the handle part can actuate a sensor element, so that an opening signal can be transmitted to the lock.
- the drive unit moves the travel limiting means out of the engagement area of the handle part, so that a large stroke is available on the handle part in order to actuate the electrical lock mechanically in an emergency.
- handle device for opening an electric lock is from the US 2004/0129040 A1 known.
- the handle when actuated, is used to open the door when there is an unlocking position.
- the use of a mechanical key is only necessary in an emergency if the electrical components or the electrical power supply in the vehicle fail.
- a disadvantage of the solutions known from the prior art is that there must always be a defined mechanical connection between the handle part or the handle for opening the door or flap and the lock.
- the connection for example of a Bowden cable, is connected to a mechanical and constructive structure.
- the object of the invention is to provide an improved device for opening a door or flap.
- a device for opening a door or flap is provided on a motor vehicle, comprising a handle that can be gripped by an operator from outside the motor vehicle, a motor vehicle locking device, wherein between the handle and the motor vehicle locking device Means for actuating the locking device is arranged by means of the handle, the means for actuating being a rope.
- a rope is extremely inexpensive and can easily be installed in a side door, for example.
- a Connection between the electric lock and the handle is therefore very easy.
- a rope is used as a means of actuating the electrical lock in the event of a power drop.
- an easy connection to the handle part and the lock is possible, secondly, the rope can be laid without constructive aids and thirdly, the use of a rope is an inexpensive way of connecting.
- the opening device can be used on a door or flap on a motor vehicle.
- the use is not limited to a door or flap, but can also be used, for example, for a front flap and / or a cover, such as for a convertible roof and / or for a center armrest.
- the device can thus be used wherever electrically operated locking systems are used in the motor vehicle.
- a handle in the form of a handle part is pivotally mounted in the motor vehicle, on the one hand to give the operator the possibility of activating the lock by means of the handle part, and on the other hand, the handle part also provides a means for manually opening a side door, for example.
- the handle can also be part of a cover if it is used for example in a tailgate.
- the handle is in any case to be arranged on the motor vehicle in such a way that it can be gripped by the operator from outside the motor vehicle in the event of a power drop in the motor vehicle.
- Locking devices and / or locks that are actuated electrically that is, in which the locking mechanism is unlocked by means of an electric drive and the lock disengages from, for example, a lock holder, can be regarded as a motor vehicle locking device in the sense of the invention. After the locking device has been actuated electrically, the door or flap can then be opened manually and / or electrically and / or by means of comparable drives.
- the handle is connected to the locking device.
- the handle is preferably arranged in an area in which the operator can easily grip the handle, so that the cover, flap and / or hood can be opened easily.
- the handle can have a small stroke of 2-3 mm and can be integrated into the body at least in some areas.
- the stroke of the handle can be used to actuate a sensor which transmits a signal to the electronic lock in order to start the opening mechanism and in particular an electric motor in order to initialize the opening of the locking mechanism.
- the locking mechanism is then spring-supported and / or fully opened, for example, by a flap seal pressure. In the event of a power failure, there is no energy available for the sensor or for the electrical lock.
- the lock In the event of a power failure, the lock would be unlocked automatically, so that a mechanical unlocking chain is closed, so that the lock can be opened mechanically by means of mechanical actuation of the lock, for example on an external actuation lever or an internal actuation lever.
- the rope is formed at least in regions from plastic.
- a plastic rope is flexible and therefore easy to lay and without guide elements, such as a jacket. This means that the rope can also be installed across areas that are difficult to access in terms of design and between the handle and the lock. Since it is an emergency actuation that is only used when electrical opening is not available, it is not necessary to run the rope between the handle and the lock, which is complex in terms of design.
- Another advantage of using a rope made of plastic, at least in some areas, is that it provides an inexpensive means with sufficient tensile strengths for actuating the lock.
- the use of braided and / or opposing strands offers the advantage that high tensile forces can also be transmitted.
- the rope is formed at least in regions from a flexible wire or wire rope, this results in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention.
- Flexible wire ropes are inexpensive and can be connected to the handle or handle and the lock without great design effort. Highest forces can be transmitted with a wire rope, so that in the event of a power failure and / or an accident, high forces can be transmitted to the lock by means of the handle. Highest forces can be transmitted by means of the wire rope if the wire rope consists of two or more, in particular a plurality of strands, which are entangled or twisted together are. If the means for actuation is a flexible wire rope, no structurally complex guides for the wire rope are necessary, since the wire rope must be actuated solely by the movement of the handle.
- the handle is arranged pivotably in the motor vehicle.
- a pivotable arrangement of the handle offers the advantage that a precisely guided handle is available for the operator.
- the mobility of the handle in the z-direction of the motor vehicle forms a quality standard, so that a means is provided by means of a fixation in the form of a bearing, on the one hand providing a quality feature for the handle and on the other hand, by precisely guiding the handle, the means for Actuate precisely and can be actuated in a defined manner.
- the handle is supported on one side and is guided on a side opposite the storage.
- a guide for the handle offers several advantages. On the one hand, the handle can be guided to a high to the highest quality standard, and on the other hand, guiding the handle offers the possibility of guiding the means for actuation via a defined path. Moving the handle thus enables the means for actuation to be moved very precisely and, at the same time, the possibility of haptic feedback to the operator.
- a latching contour in the guide for example, can serve as haptic feedback, depending on the design enables easy or difficult or precise guiding of the handle in the guide.
- the guide comprises a stop, so that movement of the handle can be limited.
- the management therefore has several functions.
- the guide can represent a quality feature
- the haptic feedback can be set by means of the guide and there is also the possibility of limiting the stroke of the handle by means of the guide.
- the guide can be designed such that a depression and / or an elevation is arranged on the handle, which interacts with an elevation or a depression in the guide.
- the guiding of the handle can be represented as a quality standard and on the other hand the stroke and the haptic feedback can be influenced and defined.
- the stop can preferably be designed in such a way that the handle or the grip part performs a stroke of 2-3 mm on the side opposite the bearing in a conventional actuation for activating the electrical lock.
- the grip part comes into contact with a stop in the area of the guide, so that the stroke can be limited. Due to the limited stroke, a movement is initiated in the means for actuating, but this stroke is not sufficient, for example, to actuate an actuating lever, preferably an external actuating lever To actuate the lock in such a way that a mechanical chain for opening the locking mechanism is initialized or actuated.
- the stop is advantageously formed from a positive and / or non-positive connection between the handle and the guide.
- a precise and defined guidance of the means for actuation can be made possible by means of a positive and / or non-positive connection between the handle and the guide.
- the connection defines the haptic feedback for the operator and forms a guiding means for the handle part.
- the guide has a device for deflecting the means for actuation.
- the guide can thus include a further function, namely that the means for actuating can be guided at least in the area of the handle.
- a guide can be designed, for example, in the form of a bushing for the rope, or it can deflect the rope in a targeted manner. Guiding and / or deflecting the rope offers the advantage that the rope can be guided in such a way that an optimized alignment of the rope in relation to the electronic lock can be formed.
- the rope can, for example, pass over a web and deflect or guide the rope towards an actuating lever of the lock.
- the guide for the rope can be designed, for example, in the form of a hole through which the rope can be guided.
- the guide can also be made so long that the rope can be brought up to an actuating lever of the lock. In one embodiment the guide can then also be connected directly to the lock.
- the handle can be moved out of the guide.
- the guide is equipped in such a way that the handle can be moved out of the guide by means of an increased force.
- the handle comes into contact with the stop the first time the handle is gently actuated, so that the operator receives haptic feedback that the usual or normal actuation path of the handle part has been reached.
- the operator of the motor vehicle is then given the option.
- To pivot the handle beyond the stop out of the guide. A pivoting of the handle part beyond the actual stop offers the advantage that very large distances or strokes are available for operating the rope and thus the emergency operation of the lock.
- the handle is moved out of the guide by means of an excessive force.
- the removal then takes place in that the handle can be moved out of the non-positive and / or form-fitting guide over the stop.
- the actuation chain in the lock is interrupted for external actuation. This can be done, for example, by locking the lock.
- the electrical lock is thus advantageously in a locked form. In the event of a power failure, the lock would then have to be released and the lock unlocked.
- the handle can be moved out of the guide by the stop after the handle has been released.
- the stop can be moved manually out of the engagement area of the handle, so that the handle or the handle can be moved out of the guide.
- the long way of handling means that a rope can be used as a means for actuating the electrical lock, so that an inexpensive and structurally simple means for emergency actuation of the electrical lock is available.

- the guide 11 has a stop 14, which in this exemplary embodiment is formed as part of a recess in the guide 11.
- the extension 10 of the handle 4 has an elevation 16 corresponding to the depression 15, so that the handle 4 can be guided at least in the direction of the axis y with respect to the motor vehicle 1.
- one, two or more recesses 15 and corresponding elevations 16 can be arranged in the guide 11.
- the depressions 15 and elevations 16 are preferably arranged symmetrically on the circumference of the guide 11. A symmetrical arrangement offers the advantage that the handle 4 can be guided very precisely in the guide 11.
- the elevation 16 can be formed on the guide 11 and the depression 15 on the handle 4. Combined arrangements of depressions 15 and elevations 16 in the guide 11 or the handle 4 are also conceivable according to the invention.
- FIG 3 is a section along the line II-II from the Figure 1 played.
- the position of the handle 4 is shown in an actuation position, in which the handle 4 executes a stroke H1, through which, for example, a sensor can be actuated, the sensor transmitting an electrical signal to the motor vehicle 6, around the locking mechanism or the motor vehicle lock 6 to unlock.
- the stroke H1 can be a stroke of 2-3 mm, for example.
- the stroke H1 is achieved by a small force F1 as a pulling force F1 on the handle 4.
- the extension 10 and in particular the elevation 16 on the extension 10 reaches the stop 14 of the guide 11.
- the stroke H1, which is generated by pulling the handle 4 is consequently due to the interaction of the guide 11 and the extension 10 limited to the handle 4.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Öffnen einer Tür oder Klappe an einem Kraftfahrzeug aufweisend eine von einem Bediener von außerhalb des Kraftfahrzeugs ergreifbare Handhabe, eine Kraftfahrzeugschließeinrichtung, wobei zwischen der Handhabe und der Kraftfahrzeugschließeinrichtung ein Mittel zum Betätigen der Schließeinrichtung mittels der Handhabe angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a device for opening a door or flap on a motor vehicle comprising a handle that can be gripped by an operator from outside the motor vehicle, a motor vehicle locking device, wherein a means for actuating the locking device by means of the handle is arranged between the handle and the motor vehicle locking device.
Kraftfahrzeuge werden heute mehr und mehr mit Komfortfunktionen ausgestattet. Zu nennen sind hierbei zum Beispiel elektrisch betätigte Schiebetüren, Zuziehhilfen und/oder elektrische Schlösser. Elektrische Schlösser, sogenannte E-Schlösser, sind Schlösser bzw. Schließsysteme, die mit elektrischen Einrichtungen ausgestattet sind, die es ermöglichen, das Schloss elektrisch betätigt zu öffnen. Dabei kann zum Beispiel mittels eines elektrischen Antriebs im Schließsystem ein zum Beispiel aus Drehfalle und Sperrklinke gebildetes Gesperre elektrisch entsperrt werden.Today, motor vehicles are increasingly being equipped with comfort functions. Examples include electrically operated sliding doors, closing aids and / or electric locks. Electric locks, so-called E-locks, are locks or locking systems that are equipped with electrical devices that make it possible to open the lock electrically operated. Here, for example, a locking mechanism formed, for example, from a rotary latch and pawl can be unlocked electrically by means of an electric drive in the locking system.
Um das Schließsystem bzw. das Gesperre zu öffnen, wird nicht zwingend eine mechanische Verbindung zwischen einer Handhabe, wie beispielsweise einem Türaußengriff und dem Schließsystem benötigt. Die Handhabe weist zu diesem Zweck einen elektrischen Signalgeber auf, der ein Signal generiert, das wiederum an das Schließsystem weitergeleitet wird, wodurch der elektrische Antrieb zum Öffnen des Schließsystems aktiviert wird. Die Tür, Klappe, Schiebetür oder Haube kann folglich sehr leicht und komfortabel geöffnet werden.In order to open the locking system or the locking mechanism, a mechanical connection between a handle, such as an outside door handle, and the locking system is not absolutely necessary. For this purpose, the handle has an electrical signal generator, which generates a signal, which in turn is forwarded to the locking system, as a result of which the electrical drive for opening the Locking system is activated. The door, flap, sliding door or hood can therefore be opened very easily and comfortably.
Kommt es im Kraftfahrzeug zu einem Stromabfall, müssen Mittel vorhanden sein, um die Vorrichtung zum Öffnen notbetätigen zu können. Die Vorrichtung zum Öffnen kann somit auch als Notöffnungseinrichtung für ein Kraftfahrzeug bezeichnet werden. Um nun im Falle eines zum Beispiel Stromabfalls im Kraftfahrzeug das Kraftfahrzeug bzw. die beweglich am Kraftfahrzeug angeordneten Bestandteile öffnen zu können, sind verschiedene zum Beispiel mechanische Mittel bekannt geworden, mit dem ein elektrisch betätigtes Schloss im Notfall geöffnet werden kann.If there is a power drop in the motor vehicle, means must be available in order to be able to operate the opening device in an emergency. The opening device can thus also be referred to as an emergency opening device for a motor vehicle. In order to be able to open the motor vehicle or the components movably arranged on the motor vehicle in the event of, for example, a power drop in the motor vehicle, various mechanical means, for example, have become known with which an electrically operated lock can be opened in an emergency.
Ein Griffteil zum Öffnen eines elektrisch betätigten Türschlosses ist beispielsweise aus der
Kommt es nun zum Beispiel im Falle eines Unfalls zu einem Stromabfall, so wird ein Elektromagnet betätigt, der wiederum einen Sperrriegel bewegt, so dass ein Schwenkhebel frei kommt. Dies bedingt, dass ein Zahnrad freigegeben wird, mit dem ein Bowdenzug verbunden ist. Der am Zahnrad angebundene Bowdenzug ist mechanisch mit dem Türschloss gekoppelt, so dass bei einem Bewegen des Zahnrads am Bowdenzug gezogen werden kann. Das Zahnrad wirkt mit einer Zahnstange zusammen, die wiederum am Griffteil befestigt ist. Durch das Freiwerden des Zahnrads kann das Griffteil schwenkbeweglich aus der Außenhaut des Kraftfahrzeugs herausgezogen werden, wodurch die Zahnstange in das Zahnrad kämmt und am Bowdenzug zieht. Im Notfall steht somit eine mechanische Betätigung des Schlosses zur Verfügung.If, for example, there is a power drop in the event of an accident, an electromagnet is actuated, which in turn moves a locking bolt, so that a swivel lever is released. This means that a gearwheel with which a Bowden cable is connected is released. The Bowden cable connected to the gearwheel is mechanically coupled to the door lock so that the Bowden cable is pulled when the gearwheel moves can be. The gear cooperates with a rack, which in turn is attached to the handle. By releasing the gear, the handle part can be pulled out of the outer skin of the motor vehicle so that it can pivot, whereby the rack meshes with the gear and pulls on the Bowden cable. In an emergency, a mechanical actuation of the lock is available.

Der Hub ist begrenzt, wobei ein Wegbegrenzungsmittel eingesetzt wird, das elektrisch betätigbar in das Griffteil eingreifen oder aus dem Eingriffsbereich des Griffteils heraus bewegt werden kann. Bei üblicher Betätigung kann der geringe Hub des Griffteils ein Sensorelement betätigen, so dass ein Öffnungssignal an das Schloss übertragbar ist. Im Falle eines Stromabfalls und somit einer Unmöglichkeit eines elektrischen Öffnens des Schlosses, bewegt die Antriebseinheit das Wegbegrenzungsmittel aus dem Eingriffsbereich des Griffteils, so dass eine großer Hub am Griffteil zur Verfügung steht, um das elektrische Schloss mechanisch not zu betätigen.movable. The stroke is limited, a path limiting means being used which can engage in the handle part in an electrically actuated manner or can be moved out of the engagement area of the handle part. With normal operation, the small stroke of the handle part can actuate a sensor element, so that an opening signal can be transmitted to the lock. In the event of a power drop and thus an impossibility of electrically opening the lock, the drive unit moves the travel limiting means out of the engagement area of the handle part, so that a large stroke is available on the handle part in order to actuate the electrical lock mechanically in an emergency.

Nachteilig ist bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lösungen, dass stets eine definierte mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Griffteil bzw. der Handhabe zum Öffnen der Tür oder Klappe und dem Schloss vorhanden sein muss. Insbesondere ist die Anbindung zum Beispiel eines Bowdenzugs mit mechanischem und konstruktivem Aufbau verbunden.A disadvantage of the solutions known from the prior art is that there must always be a defined mechanical connection between the handle part or the handle for opening the door or flap and the lock. In particular, the connection, for example of a Bowden cable, is connected to a mechanical and constructive structure.

Durch die Ausbildung des Mittels zum Betätigen in Form eines Seils ist nun die Möglichkeit geschaffen, mit minimalen konstruktiven Mitteln eine Verbindung zwischen der Handhabe und dem Schloss herzustellen. Insbesondere ist ein Seil nicht an konstruktive Mittel gebunden, um am Griffteil befestigt zu werden und das Seil benötigt darüber hinaus auch keine separate Führung, wie beispielsweise einen Mantel.According to
Darüber hinaus ist ein Seil äußerst kostengünstig und kann leicht zum Beispiel in einer Seitentür verlegt werden. Eine Anbindung zwischen elektrischem Schloss und Griffteil ist somit sehr leicht möglich. Es ergeben sich somit eine Reihe von Vorteilen, wenn ein Seil als Mittel zum Betätigen des elektrischen Schlosses im Falle eines Stromabfalls eingesetzt wird. Einerseits ist eine leichte Anbindung an das Griffteil und das Schloss möglich, zweitens ist ein Verlegen des Seils ohne konstruktive Hilfsmittel möglich und drittens stellt die Verwendung eines Seils eine kostengünstige Möglichkeit zur Anbindung dar.In addition, a rope is extremely inexpensive and can easily be installed in a side door, for example. A Connection between the electric lock and the handle is therefore very easy. There are therefore a number of advantages if a rope is used as a means of actuating the electrical lock in the event of a power drop. On the one hand, an easy connection to the handle part and the lock is possible, secondly, the rope can be laid without constructive aids and thirdly, the use of a rope is an inexpensive way of connecting.
Die Vorrichtung zum Öffnen kann bei einer Tür oder Klappe an einem Kraftfahrzeug eingesetzt werden. Der Einsatz ist aber nicht auf eine Tür oder Klappe beschränkt, sondern kann auch zum Beispiel bei einer Frontklappe und/oder einer Abdeckung, wie beispielsweise für ein Cabriodach und/oder bei einer Mittelarmlehne zum Einsatz kommen. Die Vorrichtung kann somit überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo elektrisch betätigte Schließsysteme im Kraftfahrzeug zum Einsatz kommen. Zumeist wird eine Handhabe in Form eines Griffteils im Kraftfahrzeug schwenkbeweglich gelagert, um dem Bediener einerseits die Möglichkeit zu geben, das Schloss mittels des Griffteils zu aktivieren und andererseits steht mit dem Griffteil gleichzeitig ein Mittel bereit, um zum Beispiel eine Seitentür manuell zu öffnen. Die Handhabe kann aber auch Teil einer Abdeckung sein, wenn sie beispielsweise bei einer Heckklappe zum Einsatz kommt. Die Handhabe ist auf jeden Fall derart am Kraftfahrzeug anzuordnen, dass sie vom Bediener im Falle eines Stromabfalls im Kraftfahrzeug von außerhalb des Kraftfahrzeugs ergriffen werden kann.The opening device can be used on a door or flap on a motor vehicle. However, the use is not limited to a door or flap, but can also be used, for example, for a front flap and / or a cover, such as for a convertible roof and / or for a center armrest. The device can thus be used wherever electrically operated locking systems are used in the motor vehicle. In most cases, a handle in the form of a handle part is pivotally mounted in the motor vehicle, on the one hand to give the operator the possibility of activating the lock by means of the handle part, and on the other hand, the handle part also provides a means for manually opening a side door, for example. The handle can also be part of a cover if it is used for example in a tailgate. The handle is in any case to be arranged on the motor vehicle in such a way that it can be gripped by the operator from outside the motor vehicle in the event of a power drop in the motor vehicle.
Als Kraftfahrzeugschließeinrichtung im Sinne der Erfindung sind Schließeinrichtungen und/oder Schlösser anzusehen, die elektrisch betätigt werden, das heißt bei denen mittels eines elektrischen Antriebs das Gesperre entsperrt wird und das Schloss außer Eingriff mit zum Beispiel einem Schlosshalter gelangt. Nach dem elektrischen Betätigen der Schließeinrichtung kann die Tür oder Klappe dann manuell und/oder elektrisch und/oder mittels vergleichbarer Antriebe geöffnet werden.Locking devices and / or locks that are actuated electrically, that is, in which the locking mechanism is unlocked by means of an electric drive and the lock disengages from, for example, a lock holder, can be regarded as a motor vehicle locking device in the sense of the invention. After the locking device has been actuated electrically, the door or flap can then be opened manually and / or electrically and / or by means of comparable drives.
Die Handhabe ist mit der Schließeinrichtung verbunden. Dabei ist die Handhabe bevorzugt in einem Bereich angeordnet, in dem der Bediener die Handhabe leicht ergreifen kann, so dass ein Öffnen der Abdeckung, Klappe und/oder Haube leicht ermöglicht wird. Die Handhabe kann dabei einen geringen Hub von 2-3 mm ausführen, und zumindest bereichsweise in die Karosserie integriert sein. Durch den Hub der Handhabe kann ein Sensor betätigbar sein, der ein Signal an das elektronische Schloss übermittelt, um den Öffnungsmechanismus und insbesondere einen elektrischen Motor in Gang zu setzen, um ein Öffnen des Gesperres zu initialisieren. Das Gesperre wird dann federunterstützt und/oder zum Beispiel durch einen Klappendichtungsdruck vollständig geöffnet. Im Falle eines Stromabfalls steht weder Energie für den Sensor noch für das elektrische Schloss zur Verfügung. Im Falle eines Stromabfalls würde das Schloss automatisch entriegelt, so dass eine mechanische Entsperrkette geschlossen wird, so dass mittels einer mechanischen Betätigung des Schlosses, zum Beispiel an einem Außenbetätigungshebel oder Innenbetätigungshebel, das Schloss mechanisch öffenbar ist.The handle is connected to the locking device. The handle is preferably arranged in an area in which the operator can easily grip the handle, so that the cover, flap and / or hood can be opened easily. The handle can have a small stroke of 2-3 mm and can be integrated into the body at least in some areas. The stroke of the handle can be used to actuate a sensor which transmits a signal to the electronic lock in order to start the opening mechanism and in particular an electric motor in order to initialize the opening of the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is then spring-supported and / or fully opened, for example, by a flap seal pressure. In the event of a power failure, there is no energy available for the sensor or for the electrical lock. In the event of a power failure, the lock would be unlocked automatically, so that a mechanical unlocking chain is closed, so that the lock can be opened mechanically by means of mechanical actuation of the lock, for example on an external actuation lever or an internal actuation lever.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung ist das Seil zumindest bereichsweise aus Kunststoff gebildet. Ein Kunststoffseil ist einerseits flexibel und somit leicht und ohne Führungselemente, wie beispielsweise einen Mantel, verlegbar. Somit kann das Seil auch über konstruktiv schwer zugängliche Bereiche hinweg und zielgerichtet zwischen Handhabe und Schloss montiert werden. Da es sich um eine Notbetätigung handelt, die lediglich dann zum Einsatz kommt, wenn das elektrische Öffnen nicht zur Verfügung steht, kann auf ein konstruktiv aufwändiges Führen des Seils zwischen der Handhabe und dem Schloss verzichtet werden. Ein weiterer Vorteil bei einem Einsatz eines zumindest bereichsweise aus Kunststoff gebildeten Seils ist der, dass hierdurch ein kostengünstiges Mittel mit ausreichenden Zugfestigkeiten zur Betätigung des Schlosses zur Verfügung steht. Insbesondere der Einsatz von geflochtenen und/oder gegenläufigen Litzen bieten hierbei den Vorteil, dass auch hohe Zugkräfte übertragen werden können.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the rope is formed at least in regions from plastic. On the one hand, a plastic rope is flexible and therefore easy to lay and without guide elements, such as a jacket. This means that the rope can also be installed across areas that are difficult to access in terms of design and between the handle and the lock. Since it is an emergency actuation that is only used when electrical opening is not available, it is not necessary to run the rope between the handle and the lock, which is complex in terms of design. Another advantage of using a rope made of plastic, at least in some areas, is that it provides an inexpensive means with sufficient tensile strengths for actuating the lock. In particular, the use of braided and / or opposing strands offers the advantage that high tensile forces can also be transmitted.
Ist das Seil zumindest bereichsweise aus einem flexiblen Draht bzw. Drahtseil gebildet, so ergibt sich eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung. Flexible Drahtseile sind kostengünstig und ohne großen konstruktiven Aufwand mit dem Griffteil bzw. der Handhabe und dem Schloss verbindbar. Mit einem Drahtseil können höchste Kräfte übertragen werden, so dass im Falle eines Stromausfalls und/oder einem Unfall hohe Kräfte mittels der Handhabe an das Schloss übertragen werden können. Höchste Kräfte können mittels des Drahtseils übertragen werden, wenn das Drahtseil aus zwei und mehr, insbesondere einer Vielzahl von Litzen besteht, die miteinander verwickelt bzw. verdreht sind. Ist das Mittel zum Betätigen ein flexibles Drahtseil, so sind keine konstruktiv aufwändigen Führungen für das Drahtseil notwendig, da das Drahtseil alleine durch die Bewegung der Handhabe betätigbar sein muss.If the rope is formed at least in regions from a flexible wire or wire rope, this results in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention. Flexible wire ropes are inexpensive and can be connected to the handle or handle and the lock without great design effort. Highest forces can be transmitted with a wire rope, so that in the event of a power failure and / or an accident, high forces can be transmitted to the lock by means of the handle. Highest forces can be transmitted by means of the wire rope if the wire rope consists of two or more, in particular a plurality of strands, which are entangled or twisted together are. If the means for actuation is a flexible wire rope, no structurally complex guides for the wire rope are necessary, since the wire rope must be actuated solely by the movement of the handle.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung ist die Handhabe schwenkbeweglich im Kraftfahrzeug angeordnet. Eine schwenkbewegliche Anordnung der Handhabe bietet den Vorteil, dass für den Bediener eine präzis geführte Handhabe zur Verfügung steht. Insbesondere eine Bewegbarkeit der Handhabe in z-Richtung des Kraftfahrzeugs bildet einen Qualitätsmaßstab, so dass mittels einer Fixierung in Form einer Lagerung ein Mittel bereitgestellt wird, mit dem einerseits ein Qualitätsmerkmal für die Handhabe gegeben ist und andererseits durch eine präzise Führung der Handhabe das Mittel zum Betätigen präzise und definiert betätigbar ist.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the handle is arranged pivotably in the motor vehicle. A pivotable arrangement of the handle offers the advantage that a precisely guided handle is available for the operator. In particular, the mobility of the handle in the z-direction of the motor vehicle forms a quality standard, so that a means is provided by means of a fixation in the form of a bearing, on the one hand providing a quality feature for the handle and on the other hand, by precisely guiding the handle, the means for Actuate precisely and can be actuated in a defined manner.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die Handhabe einseitig gelagert und auf einer der Lagerung gegenüberliegenden Seite geführt aufgenommen. Eine Führung für die Handhabe bietet gleich mehrere Vorteile. Einerseits kann die Handhabe auf einem hohen bis höchsten Qualitätsmaßstab geführt werden und andererseits bietet ein Führen der Handhabe die Möglichkeit das Mittel zum Betätigen über einen definierten Weg zu führen. Das Führen der Handhabe ermöglicht somit ein sehr genaues Bewegen des Mittels zum Betätigen und gleichzeitig die Möglichkeit einer haptischen Rückmeldung an den Bediener. Als haptische Rückmeldung kann beispielsweise eine Rastkontur in der Führung dienen, die je nach Auslegung ein leichtes oder schweres oder präzises Führen der Handhabe in der Führung ermöglicht.According to the invention, the handle is supported on one side and is guided on a side opposite the storage. A guide for the handle offers several advantages. On the one hand, the handle can be guided to a high to the highest quality standard, and on the other hand, guiding the handle offers the possibility of guiding the means for actuation via a defined path. Moving the handle thus enables the means for actuation to be moved very precisely and, at the same time, the possibility of haptic feedback to the operator. A latching contour in the guide, for example, can serve as haptic feedback, depending on the design enables easy or difficult or precise guiding of the handle in the guide.
Erfindungsgemäß umfasst die Führung einen Anschlag, so dass eine Bewegung der Handhabe begrenzbar ist. Der Führung kommen somit mehrere Funktionen zu. Einerseits kann die Führung ein Qualitätsmerkmal darstellen, andererseits kann mittels der Führung die haptische Rückmeldung eingestellt werden und darüber hinaus besteht die Möglichkeit mittels der Führung den Hub der Handhabe zu begrenzen. Die Führung kann dabei derart ausgelegt sein, dass an der Handhabe eine Vertiefung und/oder eine Erhöhung angeordnet ist, die mit einer Erhöhung bzw. einer Vertiefung in der Führung wechselwirkt. Mittels einer formschlüssigen Aufnahme der Handhabe in der Führung kann somit einerseits das Führen der Handhabe als Qualitätsmaßstab dargestellt werden und andererseits der Hub und die haptische Rückmeldung beeinflussbar und definierbar ausgestaltet sein. Bevorzugt kann der Anschlag derart ausgelegt sein, dass die Handhabe bzw. das Griffteil in einer üblichen Betätigung zum Aktivieren des elektrischen Schlosses einen Hub an der der Lagerung entgegengesetzten Seite von 2-3 mm vollzieht.According to the invention, the guide comprises a stop, so that movement of the handle can be limited. The management therefore has several functions. On the one hand, the guide can represent a quality feature, on the other hand, the haptic feedback can be set by means of the guide and there is also the possibility of limiting the stroke of the handle by means of the guide. The guide can be designed such that a depression and / or an elevation is arranged on the handle, which interacts with an elevation or a depression in the guide. By means of a form-fitting inclusion of the handle in the guide, on the one hand the guiding of the handle can be represented as a quality standard and on the other hand the stroke and the haptic feedback can be influenced and defined. The stop can preferably be designed in such a way that the handle or the grip part performs a stroke of 2-3 mm on the side opposite the bearing in a conventional actuation for activating the electrical lock.
Nach einem Hub von 2-3 mm des Griffteils kommt das Griffteil im Bereich der Führung gegen einen Anschlag, so dass der Hub begrenzbar ist. Durch den begrenzten Hub wird zwar eine Bewegung in das Mittel zum Betätigen eingeleitet, dieser Hub reicht aber nicht aus, um beispielsweise einen Betätigungshebel, bevorzugt einen Außenbetätigungshebel, am Schloss derart zu betätigen, dass eine mechanische Kette zum Öffnen des Gesperres initialisiert bzw. betätigt wird.After a stroke of 2-3 mm of the grip part, the grip part comes into contact with a stop in the area of the guide, so that the stroke can be limited. Due to the limited stroke, a movement is initiated in the means for actuating, but this stroke is not sufficient, for example, to actuate an actuating lever, preferably an external actuating lever To actuate the lock in such a way that a mechanical chain for opening the locking mechanism is initialized or actuated.
In vorteilhafter Weise ist der Anschlag aus einer formschlüssigen und/oder kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen Handhabe und Führung gebildet. Mittels einer formschlüssigen und/oder kraftschlüssigen Verbindung zwischen Handhabe und Führung kann ein präzises und definiertes Führen des Mittels zum Betätigen ermöglicht werden. Die Verbindung definiert dabei die haptische Rückmeldung für den Bediener und bildet gleichsam ein Führungsmittel für das Griffteil.The stop is advantageously formed from a positive and / or non-positive connection between the handle and the guide. A precise and defined guidance of the means for actuation can be made possible by means of a positive and / or non-positive connection between the handle and the guide. The connection defines the haptic feedback for the operator and forms a guiding means for the handle part.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Führung eine Einrichtung zur Umlenkung des Mittels zur Betätigung auf. Neben der Begrenzung des Hubs und der Führung der Handhabe kann somit die Führung eine weitere Funktion umfassen, nämlich die, dass das Mittel zum Betätigen zumindest im Bereich der Handhabe führbar ist. Eine Führung kann dabei beispielsweise in Form einer Durchführung für das Seil ausgebildet sein, oder das Seil zielgerichtet umlenken. Eine Führung und/oder Umlenkung des Seils bietet dabei den Vorteil, dass das Seil derart führbar ist, dass eine optimierte Ausrichtung des Seils in Bezug auf das elektronische Schloss ausbildbar ist. Somit kann das Seil zum Beispiel über einen Steg hinweg führen und das Seil in Richtung eines Betätigungshebels des Schlosses hin auslenken bzw. führen. Die Führung für das Seil kann beispielsweise in Form einer Bohrung ausgeführt sein, durch das das Seil hindurch führbar ist. Die Führung kann dabei auch so lang ausgebildet sein, dass das Seil bis an einen Betätigungshebel des Schlosses heran führbar ist. In einer Ausgestaltungsform kann die Führung dann auch unmittelbar an das Schloss anbindbar sein.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the guide has a device for deflecting the means for actuation. In addition to limiting the stroke and guiding the handle, the guide can thus include a further function, namely that the means for actuating can be guided at least in the area of the handle. A guide can be designed, for example, in the form of a bushing for the rope, or it can deflect the rope in a targeted manner. Guiding and / or deflecting the rope offers the advantage that the rope can be guided in such a way that an optimized alignment of the rope in relation to the electronic lock can be formed. Thus, the rope can, for example, pass over a web and deflect or guide the rope towards an actuating lever of the lock. The guide for the rope can be designed, for example, in the form of a hole through which the rope can be guided. The guide can also be made so long that the rope can be brought up to an actuating lever of the lock. In one embodiment the guide can then also be connected directly to the lock.
Ist die Handhabe aus der Führung heraus bewegbar, so ergibt sich eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung. Kommt es zu einem Stromabfall, so kann die Handhabe aus der Führung heraus bewegt werden. Die Führung ist dabei derart ausgestattet, dass die Handhabe mittels einer erhöhten Kraft aus der Führung heraus bewegbar ist. Dabei kommt die Handhabe bei einem ersten leichten Betätigen der Handhabe mit dem Anschlag in Kontakt, so dass der Bediener eine haptische Rückmeldung erfährt, dass der übliche bzw. normale Betätigungsweg des Griffteils erreicht ist. Im Falle eines Stromausfalls steht dem Bediener des Kraftfahrzeugs dann die Möglichkeit zur Verfügung. Das Griffteil über den Anschlag hinaus aus der Führung heraus zu verschwenken. Eine Verschwenkung des Griffteils über den eigentlichen Anschlag hinaus bietet den Vorteil, dass sehr große Wege bzw. Hübe zum Betätigen des Seils und somit der Notbetätigung des Schlosses zur Verfügung steht.If the handle can be moved out of the guide, a further advantageous embodiment of the invention results. If there is a power drop, the handle can be moved out of the guide. The guide is equipped in such a way that the handle can be moved out of the guide by means of an increased force. The handle comes into contact with the stop the first time the handle is gently actuated, so that the operator receives haptic feedback that the usual or normal actuation path of the handle part has been reached. In the event of a power failure, the operator of the motor vehicle is then given the option. To pivot the handle beyond the stop out of the guide. A pivoting of the handle part beyond the actual stop offers the advantage that very large distances or strokes are available for operating the rope and thus the emergency operation of the lock.
Kommen bei einem üblichen Notbetätigen, wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt, Notbetätigungswege bzw. Hübe eines Griffteils von 20 mm zum Einsatz, so ist mittels eines Herausbewegens des Griffteils aus der Führung die Möglichkeit geschaffen, weit größere Hübe bzw. Betätigungswege für die Betätigung des Seils zur Verfügung zu stellen. Einerseits bietet das den Vorteil, dass auf eine definierte Führung des Seils und somit eine präzise Auslegung auf einen Hub von beispielsweise 15 oder 20 mm zur Betätigung des Betätigungshebels am Schloss verzichtet werden kann, wobei durch ein Herausbewegen der Handhabe aus der Führung weit größere Hübe realisierbar sind. Es sind Hübe bzw. Wege an der Handhabe von größer 20 mm, bevorzugt 30, noch bevorzugter 40 und noch bevorzugter mehr als 50 mm Hub an der Handhabe realisierbar. Somit kann auf ein definiertes Verlegen des flexiblen Seils bzw. eines Drahtes verzichtet werden, was eine konstruktiv einfache Auslegung der Verbindung zwischen Handhabe und Schloss ermöglicht. Nach einem Notbetätigen kann dann die Handhabe einfach wieder in die Führung eingefügt werden, wonach die Führung dann wieder die Begrenzung in Form eines Anschlags für eine Normalbetätigung bietet. Das Notbetätigen ist somit reversibel.If, in a conventional emergency operation, as is known from the prior art, emergency actuation paths or strokes of a grip part of 20 mm are used, the possibility is created by moving the grip part out of the guide, much larger strokes or actuation paths for the actuation of the To provide ropes. On the one hand, this offers the advantage that there is no need for a defined guidance of the rope and thus a precise design for a stroke of, for example, 15 or 20 mm for actuating the actuating lever on the lock, whereby by moving the handle out of the guide far larger strokes can be realized. Strokes or paths on the handle of greater than 20 mm, preferably 30, more preferably 40 and even more preferably more than 50 mm stroke can be realized on the handle. This means that there is no need to lay the flexible rope or wire in a defined manner, which enables a structurally simple design of the connection between the handle and the lock. After an emergency operation, the handle can then simply be reinserted into the guide, after which the guide then again offers the limitation in the form of a stop for normal operation. Emergency operation is therefore reversible.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Handhabe mittels einer überhöhten Kraft aus der Führung heraus bewegt. Das Herausbewegen geschieht dann dadurch, dass die Handhabe über den Anschlag hinweg aus der kraft- und/oder formschlüssigen Führung heraus bewegbar ist. Da ein Herausbewegen des Griffteils zu jedem Zeitpunkt möglich ist und somit ein Notbetätigen und folglich manuelles Öffnen der Tür und/oder Klappe zu jedem Zeitpunkt möglich wäre, ist es vorteilhaft für die Erfindung, dass die Betätigungskette im Schloss zur Außenbetätigung hin unterbrochen ist. Dies kann beispielsweise durch ein Verriegeln des Schlosses erfolgen. In vorteilhafter Weise liegt somit das elektrische Schloss in einer verriegelten Form vor. Im Falle eines Stromabfalls müsste dann die Verriegelung aufgehoben und das Schloss entriegelt werden.According to the invention, the handle is moved out of the guide by means of an excessive force. The removal then takes place in that the handle can be moved out of the non-positive and / or form-fitting guide over the stop. Since the handle part can be moved out at any time and thus an emergency operation and consequently manual opening of the door and / or flap would be possible at any time, it is advantageous for the invention that the actuation chain in the lock is interrupted for external actuation. This can be done, for example, by locking the lock. The electrical lock is thus advantageously in a locked form. In the event of a power failure, the lock would then have to be released and the lock unlocked.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Handhabe nach einer Freigabe der Handhabe durch den Anschlag aus der Führung heraus bewegbar. Neben einem Herausbewegen des Griffteils aus der Führung mittels einer erhöhten Kraft besteht auch die Möglichkeit, den Anschlag aus dem Bereich der Handhabe herauszubewegen. Dies kann beispielsweise mittels eines elektrischen Antriebs erfolgen. Es ist aber auch vorstellbar, dass der Anschlag manuell aus dem Eingriffsbereich der Handhabe heraus bewegt wird, so dass der Griff bzw. die Handhabe aus der Führung heraus bewegbar ist. In jedem Fall kann durch den großen Weg der Handhabe ein Seil als Mittel zum Betätigen des elektrischen Schlosses eingesetzt werden, so dass ein kostengünstiges und konstruktiv einfaches Mittel zum Notbetätigen des elektrischen Schlosses verfügbar ist.In a further embodiment of the invention, the handle can be moved out of the guide by the stop after the handle has been released. In addition to moving the handle part out of the guide by means of an increased force, there is also the possibility of moving the stop out of the area of the handle. This can be done for example by means of an electric drive. However, it is also conceivable that the stop is moved manually out of the engagement area of the handle, so that the handle or the handle can be moved out of the guide. In any case, the long way of handling means that a rope can be used as a means for actuating the electrical lock, so that an inexpensive and structurally simple means for emergency actuation of the electrical lock is available.
