Definitions
- the invention relates to a convertible vehicle with a roof comprising at least one rigid rear roof part according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a convertible vehicle according to the preamble of claim 12.
- FR 2 693 956 shows a convertible vehicle with two fixed roof parts, one of which forms a rear component comprising a rear window and the second a front component which is essentially horizontal in the closed state.
- the two roof parts can be shifted into the body in different storage positions in such a way that when only the rear roof part is stored, a landaulet roof, when only the front roof part is stored, a Targa roof and when both roof parts are stored, a full convertible results.
- the front part of the roof protrudes upwards over the window sill line of the body and thus impairs the view to the rear.
- the air resistance and the appearance of the vehicle are adversely affected. Due to the airstream, high forces act on the roof part set up in this way, which is wear-promoting for the roof mechanism.
- the invention is based on the problem of creating a convertible vehicle which allows a high usable flexibility in the roof opening.
- the extent of the deposited front roof area is reduced in at least one direction perpendicular to its transverse extent. This results in a favorable packing size, which, for example, allows these roof parts to be stored substantially vertically below the window sill line of the body. With the nesting of the roof parts, the thickness of the stored front roof area is also small.
- the essentially vertical storage of the roof parts results in a minimal restriction of the longitudinal extent of a luggage space adjoining the storage area of the roof and is therefore particularly advantageous.
- a targa position when storing the roof parts of the front roof area can also be selected as the driving operating position.
- the front roof area comprises exactly two roof parts and the first can be moved over the second to achieve a partial opening, only the first roof part can be opened, so that a kind of sunroof function results, which further increases the flexibility of the roof opening.
- the invention is applicable both to vehicles with only rigid roof parts and to those in which the front roof area forms a textile-related frame construction.
- a computer program which enables a desired roof position to be entered and determines the way to achieve the desired target position of the roof parts while determining the actual state of the roof position, the operator does not need to do so To think about how it can achieve the desired state from the current state without causing blockages in the roof movement or even damage.
- the program advantageously determines the fastest route from the actual to the preselected target state and automatically controls the required drives.
- FIG. 1 shows a convertible vehicle according to the invention in a schematic side view, broken off at the front and rear, with the roof closed,
- FIG. 2 shows a view similar to FIG. 1 during the displacement of the roof parts of the front roof area one above the other and simultaneous opening of a rear roof compartment lid to initiate an opening of all roof parts
- FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 with the roof parts of the front roof area shifted one above the other and the convertible top compartment lid fully open, FIG.
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3 during the opening movement of the rear roof part
- 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 during the storage movement of the roof parts of the front roof area
- FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 5 with the roof parts of the front roof area completely deposited
- FIG. 8 is a view similar to FIG. 7 with the rear roof part erected to release a passage opening for the roof parts of the front roof area,
- FIG. 9 is a continuation of the movement sequence according to FIG. 8 with the roof parts of the front roof area completely closed and the rear roof part fully open to form a landaulet position of the roof,
- Fig. 10 is a section along the line X-X in
- a two-seater convertible vehicle 1 is shown schematically.
- the vehicle 1 comprises a movable roof, which is denoted overall by 2 and comprises a rear roof part 3 with respect to the direction of travel F with a flexible or, in particular, rigid rear window 4, which can be made of plastic or advantageously glass, for example.
- the roof part 3 is designed as a rigid roof part and consists, for example, of steel, a light metal, a metallic foam material or plastic. It is also possible that the rear roof part 3 is essentially formed only by a domed rear window 4.
- the roof 2 comprises a front roof area 5 which is upstream of the roof part 3 in the closed state in the direction of travel F.
- the front roof part 6 In the closed state, the front roof part 6 is supported on the windshield frame, and the roof parts 6 and 7 are flush with one another.
- the roof parts 6, 7 can be designed both as rigid components and as textile-covered units.
- the roof parts 6, 7 are connected to one another via a four-bar linkage 9 in such a way that the front roof part 6 can be displaced essentially parallel to the rear 7 (FIG. 2, FIG. 3). Furthermore, the roof parts 6, 7 are via lateral swivel arms 10, 11, around bearing points fixed to the body 12, 13 are pivotable to the rear, connected to the body 8 and movable into or out of it.
- the rear roof part 3 is connected to the body 8 via a multiple joint 14.
- This comprises two swivel joints 15, 16 which are fixed to the bodywork, each with horizontal swivel axes, and which can be swiveled rearwards to the rear.
- the handlebars 18, which is rearward with respect to the direction of travel F, can only be moved indirectly about the swivel joint 16 which is fixed to the body and by means of an intermediate lever 16a, which is on the joint 18a engages on the lever 18, connected.
- the intermediate lever 16a is mounted approximately centrally on the joint 16 and is operatively connected with its end facing away from the lever 18 via a joint 16b to a further intermediate lever 16c.
- This acts on the handlebar 17 via the movable swivel joint 17a.
- the links 17 and 18 are coupled to one another in their movement via the intermediate lever chain 16a, 16c.
- the body-side bearing points 12, 13 are arranged essentially vertically one above the other.
- the swivel arms 10, 11 lying parallel in front of one another open in the swivel movement relative to one another (transition from FIG. 4 to FIG. 5).
- a two-part cladding 26 (FIG. 10) is provided, which is parallel to a parting line 27. lel to the course of the swivel arms 10, 11 is divided.
- a part 28 of the cladding 26 is arranged on the swivel arm 11 lying further inwards, the other part 29 on the swivel arm 10. If the two swivel arms 10, 11 diverge at the roof opening, the cladding parts 28, 29 can follow this and still with the roof closed 2 ensure uniform covering.
- the parting line 27 can be overlapped by an edge projection 30 of a trim part 28, 29 and thus be invisible in the closed state.
- Both the front roof area 5 and the rear roof part 3 can be stored independently of one another via the swivel arms 10, 11 or handlebars 17, 18 below a window parapet line 19 within the body 8.
- a convertible top compartment lid 20 is assigned to the rear area of the body 8, approximately in the plane of the window sill line 19, and can be swung open in the direction of the arrow 21.
- the front roof part 6 is first detached from the windshield frame and moved over the roof part 7 behind it (FIG. 2, FIG. 3).
- the top compartment lid 20 opens, thereby enlarging a passage opening for the roof 2 behind the rear roof part 3.
- the front roof parts 6, 7 are displaced completely parallel one above the other by means of the four-bar linkage 9, any textile covering that may be present being lifted off the rear roof part 7 and thus providing enough play for the movement of the roof parts 6, 7 shown.
- the front roof part 6 can arch over the rear 7, so that the latter is received in the curvature of the roof part 6 and thus a nested package of roof parts 6, 7 is formed.
- This package has a very small extension.
- the convertible top compartment cover 20 is still fully open.
- the rear roof part 3 can then pivot about the links 15, 16 in the direction of the arrow 22 via the handlebars 17, 18 and thereby reach an almost vertical position (FIG. 4) in which a large passage area for the roof part 3 set up in this way the front roof parts 6, 7 is released.
- the rear roof part 3 can pivot in an opposite pivoting direction (arrow 24) into an almost horizontal position in which it passes through the plane of the roof 2 Parapet line 19 partially covers and overlaps the package of roof parts 6, 7, which has only a small height extension here.
- the convertible top compartment cover 20 can also close again over the rear roof part 3 thus deposited, so that a harmonious side line is reached.
- roof parts 6, 7, in their nested position are placed horizontally under the rear roof part 3, in the end position the curvature of the rear roof part 3 to be closed above them in the same direction as the curvature of the package of the front roof parts 6, 7 would be, so that overall the space requirement of the stored roof 2 would be low.
- FIGS. 8 and 9 show further roof positions which are suitable as driving positions for the convertible vehicle 1:
- the rear roof part 3 is set up in accordance with its closed position, so that a Targa vehicle results.
- Any rear triangular windows 25 can be closed and stabilize the rear roof part 3.
- the top compartment lid 20 can also be closed again.
- the Targa position can be set directly from the position of the roof parts according to FIG. 6 by swiveling back the rear roof part 3.
- An adjustment is also possible, for example, from the completely closed roof (FIG. 1) or from the completely open roof (FIG. 7).
- a program logic can be provided, via which the target setting of the roof can be specified and which automatically determines the current state and specifies the most suitable route to the desired position.
- a visual representation of the various roof opening states for example by means of separate operating buttons or by a representation on a screen, can be provided, by means of which the desired roof state is automatically set by clicking on them or otherwise.
- the rear roof part 3 is stored in the body 8, whereas the front roof parts 6, 7 are in their closed position above the passenger compartment, so that a so-called landaulet position is reached is in which, for example, a front row of seats is covered by the roof and a rear row of seats is uncovered by roof areas or, in the case of a vehicle with only one row of seats, ventilation and sun exposure can be achieved from obliquely behind.
- the position according to FIG. 9 can be set, for example, directly from the closed position according to FIG. 1 by moving the rear roof part 3 in the opening direction and the front roof parts 6, 7 remaining in the closed position.
- the convertible vehicle 1 With the convertible vehicle 1 according to the invention, at least four different roof positions - fully open, completely closed, Targa and Landaulet position - can be achieved. It can additionally be provided that the position of the front roof parts 6, 7 (FIG. 4) which is shifted one above the other represents a driving position, in which case the front roof part 6 would be open in the manner of a sliding roof, but over the entire width of the roof. In particular, with the side windows lowered, there would be a generous sense of freedom even in this position, even with the rear roof part 3 closed.
