Description

The The present invention relates to a grommet for guiding at least a first one Conduit arrangement between at least a first mounting element and at least a second, relative to the first mounting member movable mounting member comprising at least one substantially tubular shell and at least one fastening member for fixing the grommet in the area at least one mounting hole of the first mounting element, and a motor vehicle comprising such Spout.

Various spouts are known from the prior art. So revealed the EP 1 193 132 B1 a generic grommet for a harness and a motor vehicle with at least one such grommet in the region of a door separation point. In this case, the spout comprises a shell made of a first thermoplastic material and at least one attachment member made of a second thermoplastic material for fastening the spout to a mounting element, wherein the shell and the attachment member are made in a dense, chemical composite with each other in order to achieve the best possible sealing effect , Although this grommet has proven itself in principle, however, it has the disadvantage that it is not ensured that the cable harness is always protected against excessive mechanical stress during movement of the door of the door separation point.

In addition, the reveals DE 100 42 985 A1 a harness with a surrounding a number of individual cables protective sheath, which represents another generic grommet. The cable set comprises a first end piece and a second end piece and an intermediate piece arranged between them. The first intermediate piece is fixed against rotation on the first end piece and rotatably supported on the second end piece over a limited angular range. The cable set is used in particular for the arrangement between a body and a door of a motor vehicle and is intended to serve for a torsion-proof mounting of the cable set.

Furthermore, the disclosure WO 2008/049751 A1 a generic grommet for the arrangement between two mounting elements for the protected passage of cables / lines or the like, and a method for their preparation. The spout comprises an elongate, tubular spout body having a substantially rectilinear central portion and heads on which respective latching means are formed. In order to enable a removal of the spout from a mold in a production of the spout, it is proposed that an inner peripheral surface formed by the latching means is designed such that it extends radially outward escape of an inner peripheral surface formed at the open end of the heads. The disadvantage of the WO 2008/049751 A1 However, it was also known that a sufficient protection of the cables from mechanical overstressing is not guaranteed.

Finally, the reveals DE 197 28 706 A1 an arrangement for installing a cable harness in an automobile door. On a body of the automobile, a sealing strip is arranged and on the sealing strip in turn a connector is pivotally mounted. By means of the connector, a body-side wiring harness can be connected to a door-side wiring harness. The door-side cable harness is guided via a protective device arranged on a door inner wall. The protective device has a plug connection for connecting the cable harness to the body via the pivotally mounted plug connector. The disadvantage of this arrangement, however, is that the connectors must be designed as a sealed plug, in particular as a single-core sealed plug, ie as a plug in which the individual wires of the wiring harness are sealed separately to avoid malfunction. However, the use of such sealed plug leads to an increased cost. Furthermore, the pivotal mounting of the connector to the body causes the assembly effort is increased during attachment of the door to the body. Thus, an alignment of the arranged on the body connector is necessary relative to the connector of the door-side wiring harness during assembly, resulting in particular because of the limited mounting space between the body and the door to a time-consuming and motor demanding assembly. Finally, by the in the DE 197 28 706 A1 As disclosed arrangement also a mechanical overuse of both the door-side and the body-side wiring harness can not be sufficiently avoided. So it may come due to the pivotal mounting of the body-side connector at a strong pivoting of the connector to a mechanical overuse of the body-side wiring harness. This overuse can be caused on the one hand, that the connector is pivoted too much at a connection of the body-side wiring harness with the door-side harness and / or it due to an offset between a pivot axis of the door relative to the body and a pivot axis of the body-side connector too strong Pivoting of the body-side connector takes place.

Finally will for the proposed spout according to the invention, that the first connector element and the second connector element are aligned relative to each other so that by means of the first and the second connector element, the first line arrangement and the second conduit arrangement upon attachment of the spout to the first mounting element are essentially independently connected, in particular forming a connector comprising the first connector element and the second connector element.

Further the invention provides a motor vehicle comprising at least one first mounting member and at least one relative to the first mounting member movable, second mounting element with a nozzle according to the invention.

The invention is therefore based on the surprising finding that a mechanical overstrain of a line arrangement, in particular a flat conductor, which is guided between two relatively movable mounting elements, both during an arrangement of the line arrangement between the mounting elements and during a movement of the mounting elements are prevented relative to each other can and simultaneously one cost-effective, satisfactory sealing of the conduit arrangement can be achieved by a guide means, in which the conduit arrangement is at least partially accommodated, is provided in a spout, which comprises a substantially tubular sheath and a fastening member for fixing the spout, at least a first Swivel axis is pivotally mounted on the attachment member. Especially at extremely low temperatures, such as minus 40 ° C, the flexibility of line arrangements, as used for example in motor vehicles between a body on the one hand and a door, a tailgate and / or hood on the other hand decreases, in particular, such line arrangements are brittle. Excessive mechanical stress, in particular bending, of the conduit arrangement can lead to breakage of the conduit arrangement. By means of the guide means such excessive bending of the conduit arrangement is avoided by a pivoting movement of the guide means is limited relative to the attachment member of the spout. In particular, stop elements for the guide device can be provided for limiting a Abknickwinkels the first line arrangement on the attachment member or the guide means are guided in the second mounting member such that a tilting of the guide means relative to the attachment member beyond a predetermined angle is not possible.

By the use of a spout, which comprises a substantially tubular sheath, the guide means in particular in the region of attachment of the guide device to the attachment member Furthermore, a satisfactory sealing of the first Be achieved, in particular the use of sealed plugs, in particular single-pin plugs, be waived. Continue leads the pivotable attachment of the guide device to the attachment member in that the pivot axis of the guide device close to a Pivot axis of the first mounting member relative to the second mounting element can be arranged, reducing the risk of mechanical overuse the first line arrangement during a relative movement of the first mounting member relative to the second mounting element is reduced.

Also allows it the spout of the invention, that a first connector so fixed to the attachment member is arranged that a connection of the first line arrangement through the first connector with a second connector and which may be formed on the first mounting member, without an elevated one Assembly costs possible is. So a connection between the first connector, the second connector simultaneously with attachment of the grommet to the first Mounting element manufactured without causing an alignment of the connectors needed relative to each other. Thus, the spout can in particular by a Fastening element comprising at least one clip on the first Are mounted mounting element, wherein by clipping the Grommet on the first mounting element at the same time the connection between the first connector and the second connector made becomes.

Furthermore allows it is the structure of the inventive grommet that the leadership the line arrangement between the mounting elements to the respective to lead first line arrangement can be adjusted without it being additional constructive changes of the first mounting member and / or the second mounting member requirement. So, for example various spouts for different first line arrangements are kept to the leadership of the first line arrangement to the respective circumstances.

So can the different spouts have a similar interface to the first mounting element, around the different spouts to connect with the first mounting element. The spout itself can however be adapted to the respective first line arrangement, in particular, the pivot axis of the guide element so on the attachment member be arranged that a mechanical overuse of the first used Line arrangement both during a fastening of the spout on the first mounting member as well as during movement of the first Mounting member prevents relative to the second mounting member can be. Also can the different spouts respective guide elements having the geometric dimensions of the respective first Line arrangement are adjusted. So can a larger-sized guide means for flat conductors with a big one Number of line elements may be provided while for a first line arrangement with smaller dimensions, in particular a smaller number of Ladders, a leadership facility can be provided with smaller dimensions. In particular a safe guide the first line arrangement ensured by the guide device be a mechanical overuse the first management order by an inadequate leadership of the first line arrangement to avoid.

In addition, the different configurations of the grommets make it possible to guide the first line arrangement to the respective geometric dimensions of the mounting elements can be adjusted. Thus, for example, different second mounting elements can be connected to one and the same first mounting element, without a structural adaptation of the first mounting element with respect to a guide of the first line arrangement is necessary because the respective spout can be adapted to the geometric requirements of the second mounting element.

By The invention thus becomes a closed guide, sealing and pivoting system for a thread-free Assembly of a first line arrangement, in particular a guide and Sealing of flat and round conductors, preferably at door separation points, allows provided.

Further Features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following Description in which two embodiments, are explained in detail with reference to schematic drawings. there shows:

6b a sectional view of the spout of 6a ,

In 1 is a perspective sectional view of a first embodiment of a nozzle according to the invention 1 shown. The spout 1 serves to guide an in 1 not shown first line arrangement between two also in 1 not shown mounting elements. The spout 1 includes a tubular sheath in the form of a bellows 3 , The bellows 3 is in particular made of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The spout 1 further comprises a fastening member 5 to which the bellows 3 is injection-molded, and which preferably comprises a, in particular thermoplastic, plastic, such as polypropylene (PP) and / or polyamide (PA). In an embodiment, not shown, it can be provided that the bellows 3 with the attachment member 5 by buttoning the attachment member 5 in the bellows 3 connected is. The attachment member 5 is essentially in the form of a frame constructed on the fasteners in the form of clips 7 are formed. In addition, on the attachment member 5 support elements 9a . 9b trained, whose function will be explained below. Furthermore, the spout includes 1 a guide device in the form of a guide tube 11 , The guide tube 11 also comprises a, in particular thermoplastic, plastic, such as polypropylene and / or polyamide. In an alternative embodiment it can be provided that the guide tube 11 alternatively or additionally comprises polyoxymethylene (POM). This material has the advantage that it improves the sliding properties and thus improved sliding of the guide device relative to the second mounting element, in particular of the guide tube 11 effected within a guide opening within a second mounting element. Thus wei sen both the attachment member 5 as well as the guide tube a higher rigidity than the bellows 3 ,

The guide tube 11 is at pivot points 13 about a first pivot axis S rotatable on the fastening member 5 stored. As will be explained below, this allows the bearing of the guide tube 11 that the guide tube 11 in a predetermined amount about the pivot axis S is movable. In a modification of the invention, not shown, it can be provided that the guide tube 11 further such on the attachment member 5 is stored, which is a movement of the guide tube 11 about a further, second pivot axis which is in particular perpendicular to the first pivot axis, movable.

In 2 is a sectional view of the grommet 1 of the 1 shown. As 2 can be seen in particular, the guide tube 11 a channel 15 in, in which a first line arrangement, in particular in the form of an electrical flat conductor, is receivable. Due to the rotatable or pivotable mounting of the guide tube 11 on the attachment member 5 a guidance of the first line arrangement between two mounting elements is possible such that the first line arrangement not only in the region of the bellows 3 but over a larger area compared to out The prior art known spouts can be performed. At the same time a movement of the first line arrangement by the possible pivoting movement of the guide tube 11 relative to the attachment member 5 , in particular in a relative movement of the mounting elements to each other, possible. The guidance of the first line arrangement, however, takes place in such a way that overstressing of the first line arrangement during movement of the mounting element relative to one another is avoided. In particular, kinking of the first line arrangement, for example, by pinching the first line arrangement between the mounting elements, is effectively avoided. To prevent moisture from entering the interior of the bellows 3 or in the interior of the canal 15 To prevent, the bellows points 3 a first sealing device in the form of a sealing lip 17 on. This sealing lip 17 is designed so that it revolves on the surface of the guide tube 11 rests. In an alternative embodiment it can be provided that the bellows 3 sealing with the guide tube 11 connected is.

Furthermore, the bellows 3 a second sealing device in the form of a sealing lip 19 on. When installing the grommet 1 on a first mounting element, not shown, the clips 7 inserted into a mounting opening of the first mounting member and the clips 7 latch on the edge of the mounting hole. By making the clips 7 the mounting hole will engage behind the sealing lip 19 pressed against a surface of the first mounting member and so a seal in the region of the contact of the spout 1 achieved with the surface of the first mounting element.

The support elements 9a . 9b are further dimensioned so that they also rest on a surface of the first mounting member, so that the fastening member 5 supported on the surface of the first mounting member. The support elements cause this 9a . 9b in that when pivoting the guide tube 11 a lifting of the sealing lip 19 is avoided by the surface of the first mounting element. This function of the support elements 9a . 9b will now be based on 3 explained.

3 shows a sectional view of the spout 1 from direction A of 2 , How out 3 can be seen, includes the attachment member 5 two support elements 9a . 9b in particular diametrically opposite relative to the clips 7 or the pivot point 13 or the pivot axis S are arranged. In 3 is the guide tube 11 by an angle α about the pivot axis S relative to a longitudinal axis L of the spout 1 shown pivoted. By pivoting the guide tube 11 there is a leverage effect on the sealing lip 19 the spout 1 , To prevent the sealing lip 19 on the side, the pivoting direction of the guide tube 11 is opposed, lifts off from the surface of the first mounting member, which is through the guide tube 11 highlighted leverage compensated by the fact that the support element 9a rests on the surface of the mounting member and so a relative movement of the fastening member 5 prevents relative to the first mounting element, that serves as an abutment.

In 4 is the spout 1 shown in a position in which the guide tube 11 in a direction opposite to the pivoting direction in 3 is, is pivoted. The guide tube 11 is at an angle β about the pivot axis S from a longitudinal direction L of the spout 1 pivoted. In this position of the guide tube 11 the leverage forces act such that the support element 9b is pressed against a surface of the first mounting member and thus serves as an abutment. As the support element 9b a tilting of the fastening member 5 and thus the bellows 3 prevents, ensures that the sealing lip 19 circumferentially rests on the surface of the first mounting member, in particular on the support element 9a facing side with respect to the longitudinal axis L. Like the 3 and 4 It can be seen further on the surface of the guide tube 11 limiting elements 21 educated. These boundary elements 21 limit a movement of the bellows 3 or the sealing lip 17 along the surface of the guide tube 11 such that the bellows 3 not in the direction of the pivot axis S of the guide tube 11 can slip.

Based on 5a to 6b The installation of a grommet according to the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to an installation of the grommet 1 explained in a door separation point of a motor vehicle. The spout 1' is formed according to a second embodiment of the invention, wherein elements of the spout 1' those in the 1 to 4 illustrated grommet 1 correspond, carry the same reference numerals, but simply deleted.

In 5a is the spout 1' presented in a mounting situation in which the spout 1' by means of the attachment member 5 ' on a first mounting element in the form of a door 23 ' a motor vehicle is attached. To get a first line from the door 23 ' to a second mounting element in the form of a body part of the motor vehicle, which acts as an A pillar 25 ' is designed to reach, a line arrangement, not shown, at least partially in the channel 15 ' of the guide tube 11 ' arranged. In the A-pillar 25 ' is a guide hole 27 ' formed by the guide tube 11 ' the spout 1' in the A-pillar 25 ' entry.

In 5b is a sectional view of the in 5a shown installation situation shown. As 5b it can be seen, is the spout 1' in the area of a mounting opening 29 ' at the door 23 ' attached. In 5b are the clip elements 7 ' , by means of which the spout 1' through a rear grip of the clips 7 ' behind an edge of the mounting hole 29 ' at the door 23 ' is attached, not shown. Furthermore, in 5b not shown that through the guide tube 11 ' extending first conduit arrangement in one of the attachment member 5 ' covered first connector element ends. The first connector element is used, the first line arrangement, for example in the form of an electrical flat conductor, in particular via a second line arrangement, with electrical consumers or Steuerungselemten in the door 23 ' are arranged to connect. It is envisaged that in the mounting hole 29 ' a likewise in 5b not shown second connector element is arranged, which is in particular in operative connection with the second conduit arrangement. The first plug connection element and the second plug connection element are in particular designed to be complementary to one another, in particular as a male or female plug. This arrangement of the first and second connector element relative to each other causes, when a fastening of the nozzle 1' at the door 23 ' in the area of the mounting opening 29 ' an electrical connection in the spout 1' arranged first line arrangement is effected. Due to the stationary ie, in particular not pivotable arrangement of the first connector element within the spout 1' in the region of the fastening member 5 ' results in a simple installation of the spout 1' with simultaneous production of a (plug) connection of the first line arrangement. This results from the Verclipsung of the fastening member 5 ' with the mounting hole 29 ' a predefined orientation of the attachment member 5 ' and thus the first connector element relative to the mounting opening 29 ' and thus the second connector element. This results in a pre-convection of the first line arrangement that the first line arrangement by inserting the guide tube 11 ' in the A-pillar 25 ' and after mounting the door 23 ' at the A-pillar 25 ' by clipping the spout 1' by means of the attachment member 5 ' , especially the clips 7 ' , a thread-free attachment of the first line arrangement between the mounting elements in the form of the door 23 ' and the A-pillar 25 ' is reached. In particular, an additional orientation of the connector elements to each other during assembly of the door to achieve a connection of the first line arrangement to electrical consumers within the door 23 ' unnecessary.

In the 6a and 6b is the spout 1' presented in a mounting situation in which the door 23 ' is open. In contrast, in the 5a and 5b the situation presented in the door 23 ' closed is. When opening the door 23 ' this will be one in the 5a to 6b not shown third pivot axis, which is substantially parallel to the first pivot axis S ', relative to the A-pillar 25 ' pivoted. This pivoting of the door 23 ' causes, on the one hand, the guide tube 11 ' from the A-pillar 25 ' is pulled out and on the other hand, the guide tube 11 ' pivoted about the pivot axis S '. This is the pivoting of the guide tube 11 ' relative to the attachment member 5 ' through the edges of the guide hole 27 ' limited. Thus it is prevented that in the guide tube 11 ' arranged first line arrangement in particular in the region of the pivot axis S 'is bent over a predetermined amount addition. When closing the door 23 ' will be the door 23 ' relative to the A-pillar 25 ' swung back and the guide tube 11 ' gets into the guide hole 27 ' introduced. Due to the arrangement of the first conduit arrangement in the guide tube 11 ' In particular, it will continue to prevent the line arrangement in the area between the door 23 ' and the A-pillar 25 ' is trapped and so excessively kinked, which could lead to breakage of the lead, especially when using flat conductors as the first line arrangement.

In the in the 5a to 6b illustrated embodiment of the nozzle, a pivoting of the guide tube is achieved relative to the fastening member by the leadership of the guide tube in a guide opening. In non-illustrated embodiments of the invention can be provided that the fastening member in particular has a stop element on which the guide means abuts upon reaching a maximum pivot angle of the guide tube relative to the fastening member. As a result, a limitation of the pivoting of the guide tube is also achieved relative to the fastening member, thus avoiding overstressing the first line arrangement.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the grommet according to the invention limits a movement of the first mounting member and the second mounting member relative to each other. For this purpose, it can be provided in particular that the in the 5a to 6b illustrated spout 1' in the area of the guide tube 11 ' has at least one engagement element, which at a predetermined pivot angle of the door 23 ' relative to the A-pillar 25 ' Intervention in a structure within the A-pillar 25 ' , in particular an edge of the mounting opening 29 ' , finds. Thus, by the attachment of the spout to the first mounting member and the engagement in the second mounting member, a movement of the mounting elements, in particular the door 23 ' and the A-pillar 25 ' to be limited. This is how the spout works 1' when Tether, so that when using the grommet of the invention, the mounting of a door on a body of a motor vehicle is further simplified by the fact that the use of a separate tether, which in particular additionally must be mounted or secured, can be dispensed with. At the same time it is prevented in this way that it can lead to an overuse of the line arrangement by a longitudinal expansion of the first line arrangement.

In further, not shown embodiments of the invention can be provided that the guide device at least formed in two parts. This allows the conduit arrangement first in a channel within the guide device is arranged before the two guide device elements be connected to each other. This will in particular be a modular Structure of the spout allows. For example, it may be provided that various first line arrangements can be connected to one and the same first connector and by an appropriate selection of one of several management facilities a best possible Adaptation of the management equipment, in particular with regard to their dimensions, to the leading first Line arrangement can be achieved.
