Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle lock having a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, the rotary latch being lockable by means of the pawl at least in a main latching position, a rotary latch spring, the rotary latch being prestressed in the direction of an open position by means of the rotary latch spring, a locking device, wherein an actuating chain for unlocking the locking mechanism can be locked or unlocked by means of the locking device and a release device for the rotary latch spring.
  • an electromechanical assistance system for opening a locking mechanism has become known. If, for example, there is an incident due to a power failure, the locking mechanism can be opened with the support of a spring assigned to the rotary latch.
  • the motor vehicle lock has a locking mechanism made up of a rotary latch and a pawl, the locking mechanism preferably being able to be unlocked electrically.
  • Electrically unlockable locking systems are also referred to as electric locks or e-locks.
  • an electric drive can act on a release lever or directly on the pawl in order to disengage the pawl from the rotary latch. For example, if the locking mechanism is in a locked position and in a main latching position, the pawl can be pivoted by means of the electric drive and the rotary latch can thus be released.
  • a coil spring for example, is described as an energy store, which can be released via a lever mechanism, for example, so that a supporting impulse for unlocking the locking mechanism is available.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved motor vehicle lock.
  • it is the object of the invention to provide an emergency release function that can be easily integrated into existing locking systems and is also structurally simple and space-saving.
  • a motor vehicle lock having a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, the rotary latch being lockable by means of the pawl at least in a main latching position, a rotary latch spring, wherein the rotary latch by means of the rotary latch spring in the direction of is biased towards an open position, a locking device, wherein an actuating chain for unlocking the locking mechanism can be locked or unlocked by means of the locking device, and a release device for the rotary latch spring, wherein the locking device can be actuated by means of the rotary latch spring and after the rotary latch spring has been released.
  • the construction of the motor vehicle lock according to the invention now makes it possible to convert a motor vehicle lock from a locked position into an unlocked position by means of the components available in the motor vehicle lock.
  • the rotary latch spring acting on the rotary latch in the motor vehicle lock and in particular is used.
  • the force latently present in the rotary latch spring in the main latching position is used, as a result of which the rotary latch spring can be used as an energy store for unlocking the motor vehicle lock.
  • the motor vehicle lock has a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl.
  • the pawl and catch are preferably pivoted in a lock case and interact with a lock holder, with a relative movement between a mostly stationary lock holder and the motor vehicle lock locking the locking mechanism being achievable.
  • Locking mechanisms with a first position and a main position as well as locking mechanisms with one, two or three ratchet and/or blocking pawls are known.
  • the pawl is spring biased towards the ratchet and is moved out of engagement with the ratchet by a trigger mechanism.
  • the rotary latch has a rotary latch spring, which is usually designed as a torsion spring. The rotary latch spring prestresses the rotary latch into an open position.
  • a locking device is used to disable an actuating chain for unlocking the locking mechanism.
  • electrical unlocking can take place, for example, by manually actuating a lock cylinder.
  • the invention preferably relates to motor vehicles that do not use a lock cylinder.
  • the locked lock in the event of a power failure or blackout, the locked lock must be able to be moved into an unlocked position in order to enable the lock to be actuated or the locking mechanism to be unlocked.
  • the motor vehicle lock has a release device for the rotary latch spring. By releasing the rotary latch spring, the energy of the rotary latch spring is available for transferring the motor vehicle lock from a locked position into an unlocked position.
  • the release device can be actuated electrically.
  • the release device can be triggered very quickly by electrical actuation, which is particularly advantageous if there is a power drop in the motor vehicle. If the controller detects, for example, that there is no longer sufficient current to unlock the unlocking mechanism in the motor vehicle, the release device can be actuated by means of an emergency current and preferably with a very low current intensity. It can thus be realized very fast switching times and it may be sufficient if only low Currents are available to perform an emergency unlocking.
  • the release device can advantageously have an electric drive, with a stop being able to be actuated, in particular rotated, by means of the electric drive.
  • the release device can be actuated very quickly by means of an electric drive, it being possible for a stop for the rotary latch spring to be displaced, pivoted or positioned.
  • the rotary latch spring is designed as a torsion spring.
  • the use of a torsion spring to apply an opening moment or an opening force to the rotary latch is common, so that standardized and readily available components of a motor vehicle lock can be used.
  • the leg spring advantageously encloses the axis of the rotary latch, with one leg resting against the rotary latch in such a way that a force can be introduced into the rotary latch by means of the leg.
  • the leg acting on the rotary latch can engage in the rotary latch or at least partially enclose the rotary latch.
  • Another leg of the leg spring then interacts with the release device. It has turned out to be advantageous that the release device has a stop for the other leg of the rotary latch spring.
  • a stop for one leg of the rotary latch spring then interacts with the release device.
  • the release device has a stop, for example in the form of a recess, the stop being movably mounted in the motor vehicle lock and/or the release device. It is conceivable, for example, for the stop to be formed from a component, for example a cylindrical component, which is accommodated pivotably in the release device. A recess can then be formed in the cylindrical component, into which the spring leg can be inserted in a form-fitting manner. The spring leg can then move into a release position by, for example, a rotational movement of the cylindrical component.
  • the cylindrical component which serves as a stop
  • the stop is arranged directly on a shaft of a motor.
  • the stop can also have a different geometric shape, which can be moved, for example, indirectly by means of a gear and via the electric drive, the stop being, for example, pivotable or displaceable. It is essential to the invention that one leg of the leg spring can be transferred from the locked position of the locking mechanism into a release position.
  • the rotary latch spring In the locked position of the locking mechanism, which is preferably a main detent position, the rotary latch spring is in the most compressed form, so that there is a maximum of stored energy in the rotary latch spring. If the rotary latch spring is now released from the stop, the energy stored by the rotary latch spring from the main latching position is available for unlocking the locking device.
  • a means for tensioning in particular a winding device, is provided for the rotary latch spring.
  • the released leg of the leg spring can be used to unlock the locking device.
  • the leg can, for example, pivot a gear wheel and/or move a lever and/or position a toggle spring.
  • the leg of the leg spring rests in a defined position, for example against an end stop in the housing of the motor vehicle lock.
  • the motor vehicle lock has been unlocked, it is possible to unlock the locking mechanism manually, for example, using an inside door handle or an outside door handle.
  • the torsion spring is then relaxed in the motor vehicle lock and held by the connection of the other leg to the rotary latch and the wrapping around the axle of the rotary latch in the locking mechanism.
  • a pull-up device By means of a pull-up device, there is then the possibility of bringing the released spring leg back into engagement with the stop of the release device.
  • This can be done manually, for example, by means of a suitable tool and, for example, by means of a clutch, or alternatively, the rotary latch spring can move back into the starting position when the door, for example, is closed and thus engage with the stop of the release device.
  • the clamping means can be actuated manually or, as described above, can be moved back to the starting position indirectly, for example by closing a door.
  • FIG 1 is a top view of a motor vehicle lock 1 in a view of a locking mechanism 2, a release device 3 and a locking device 4, 5, the locking mechanism 2 being mounted in a lock case 6.
  • the lock case 6 can be fastened to a body of a motor vehicle, for example by means of threads 7, 8 molded into the lock case 6.
  • the locking part axes 9, 10 are also connected to the lock case 6, for example by means of riveting. Shown is a main locking position, with a pawl 11 with a rotary latch 12 comes to rest in a main catch 13. The pawl 11 holds the catch 12 in the main locking position, so that a lock holder 14 can be fixed or held.
  • the pawl 11 is biased in the direction of the rotary latch 12 by means of a pawl spring 15 .
  • the pawl 11 can be moved around the axis 9 and disengaged from the rotary latch 12 by means of a release lever (not shown).
  • the actuating lever chain for actuating the release lever can be movable, for example, by an external actuating lever or an internal actuating lever or by means of an electric drive.
  • the actuating lever chain to the release lever can be interrupted by means of the locking device 4, 5, so that opening or unlocking of the locking mechanism can be prevented.
  • the motor vehicle lock 1 is then in a locked state.
  • the ratchet 12 is biased by a ratchet spring 16 counterclockwise about the axis 10 in the direction of arrow P1.
  • the rotary latch spring 16 designed as a leg spring engages with a first spring leg 17 in an opening 18 of the rotary latch 12 .
  • a second spring leg 19 of the rotary latch spring 16 rests against a stop 20 of the release device 3 .
  • the stop 20 forms a fixed bearing for the spring leg 19.
  • the stop 20 is arranged as a rotatable stop 20 on a motor shaft 21 of an electric motor 22 .
  • the stop 20 has a recess 23 so that the spring leg 19 can be released from the stop 20 by rotating the motor shaft 21 .
  • this embodiment is not restrictive, although here the stop 20 is arranged directly on the motor shaft 21, the stop 20 can also be pivotable by means of a gear and/or a lever mechanism. It is also conceivable that the stop 20 is arranged, for example, in a linearly displaceable manner in the motor vehicle lock 1 .
  • the main locking position of the locking mechanism 2, as in the figure 1 is reproduced, represents the closed state of the motor vehicle lock 1 when, for example, a movable component in which the motor vehicle lock 1 is installed is in a closed position. If the pawl 11 is moved counterclockwise out of the engagement area of the main catch 13 and released from the main catch 13, the rotary latch 12 also moves counterclockwise using the torsion spring 16 about the axis 10 and releases the lock holder 14. After a counterclockwise movement of the rotary latch 12, the lock holder 14 can move out of the inlet mouth 24 of the rotary latch 12, the rotary latch 12 being in an open position. The torsion spring 16 holds the rotary latch 12 in the open position, so that the motor vehicle lock can be locked or locked again by a relative movement between the motor vehicle lock 1 and the lock holder 14 .
  • the figure 1 shows the main latching position of the locking mechanism 2. If there is a drop in current in the main latching position of the locking mechanism 2, it may happen that there is insufficient power supply in the motor vehicle lock 1 to move the locking device 4, 5 from a locked position to an unlocked position.
  • the spring leg 19 can be moved out of the stop 20 by means of the release device 3, so that the spring leg 19 no longer rests in the recess 23, but becomes free.
  • the stop 20 can be rotated about the center line M.
  • the spring leg 19 is released and moves clockwise around the axis 10 in the direction of the arrow P2.
  • the spring leg 19 comes into engagement with the locking device 4, as a result of which the locking device 4 can be pivoted in the direction of the arrow P3, for example.
  • the locked motor vehicle lock 1 can thus be transferred to an unlocked state.
  • a further locking device 5 is shown, with the spring leg 19 displacing the locking device 5 linearly in the direction of the arrow P4.
  • the alternatively illustrated locking devices 4, 5 are of course only to be understood as examples, since a motor vehicle lock 1 usually has only one locking device 4, 5. Only the possibility that alternative forms of actuation can be formed with the spring leg 19 is to be shown.
  • an energy store for unlocking the motor vehicle lock 1 can be provided.
  • the spring leg 19 is brought back into the starting position in engagement with the stop 20, for example by means of a handle.
  • the motor vehicle lock 1 can again be returned to its initial position. The force of the rotary latch spring 16 is thus again available for emergency unlocking of the motor vehicle lock 1 .
