Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen steuerbaren Kraftwagentürfeststeller, bestehend aus einem am einen Türanordnungsteil, Tür oder Türsäule angelenkten Türhalteglied und einer mit diesem zusammenwirkenden, feststehend am anderen Türanordnungsteil befestigten Brems-bzw. Halteeinrichtung.The invention relates to a controllable motor vehicle door arrester, consisting of a door holding member articulated on a door arrangement part, door or door pillar and a brake or cooperating with it, fixedly attached to the other door arrangement part. Holding device.

Bei herkömmlichen, aus einer Türhaltestange und einem von dieser durchsetzten und mit federbelasteten Brems-bzw. Haltekörpern ausgestatteten Haltergehäuse bestehenden Kraftwagentürfeststellern ergibt sich hinsichtlich der Auslegung des Türfeststellers eine besondere Problematik daraus, daß einerseits der Türfeststeller über den vom Benutzer des Fahrzeuges beabsichtigten Türöffnungswinkel hin völlig freigängig und geräuschlos bewegbar sein soll, andererseits aber die Fahrzeugtür wenigstens in vorbestimmten Öffnungsstellungen gegen ein weitere selbständige und unbeabsichtigte Bewegungen sicher festlegen soll. Zur Erreichung dieser Vorgaben ist bei den rein mechanischen Türfeststellern die Türhaltestange mit quer zu ihrer Bewegungsebene gerichteten Brems-oder Haltemarken bildenden Verdickungen versehen, über deren Bereich hin die im Haltergehäuse angeordneten und federbelasteten Brems-bzw. Haltekörper mit der Türhaltestange zusammenwirken.In conventional, from a door support rod and one penetrated by this and with spring-loaded brake or. Holding body-equipped holder housing existing motor vehicle door locks, a particular problem arises with regard to the design of the door lock, that on the one hand the door lock should be completely free and noiselessly movable over the door opening angle intended by the user of the vehicle, but on the other hand the vehicle door at least in predetermined opening positions against another independent and to securely determine unintentional movements. In order to achieve these specifications, in the case of the purely mechanical door locks, the door holding rod is provided with thickenings forming braking or holding marks directed transversely to its plane of movement. Interact the holder body with the door support rod.

Diesen mechanischen Türfeststellern haftet der Nachteil an, daß ein Feststellen der Fahrzeugtür nur in vorbestimmten Öffnungslagen möglich ist, was insbesondere bei räumlich beengten Parkplatzverhältnissen und geneigtem Boden oder aber in engen Garagen von Nachteil ist.
Es sind daher auch bereits Brems-bzw. Haltevorrichtungen für Fahrzeugtüren bekannt geworden, die ein stufenloses Feststellen der Kraftwagentür in jeder beliebigen Öffnungslage gestatten, wobei eine erste Gattung solcher Türfeststeller ausschließlich mit mechanischen Mitteln arbeitet, während eine zweite Gattung derartiger Türfeststeller eine hydraulische Verriegelung der Tür in der jeweiligen Öffnungslage bewirkt. Bei einer bekannten Bauart eines solchen Türfeststellers (DE-PS 14 59 182) ist ein in einem Zylindergehäuse axial verschieblicher, mit der Türhaltestange gekoppelter Kolben vorgesehen, welcher innerhalb des Zylindergehäuses zwei Druckmittelräume gegeneinander abtrennt und mit einer durchflußregelnden Ventileinrichtung versehen ist, derart, daß der Türfeststeller hydraulisch blockiert wird, wenn die Fahrzeugtür ihre gewünschte Öffnungslage erreicht hat. Die Steuerung der Blockierung des Türfeststellers erfolgt hierbei durch eine kurzfristige ruckartige Bewegungsumkehr der Fahrzeugtür und ist somit von der Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrzeugbenutzers abhängig.These mechanical door locks have the disadvantage that the vehicle door can only be locked in predetermined opening positions, which is particularly disadvantageous in the case of space-constrained parking spaces and inclined floors or in narrow garages.
There are therefore already braking or. Holding devices for vehicle doors have become known, which allow a stepless locking of the motor vehicle door in any open position, a first type of such door lock working exclusively with mechanical means, while a second type of such door lock causes a hydraulic locking of the door in the respective open position. In a known type of such a door lock (DE-PS 14 59 182) is provided in a cylinder housing axially displaceable, coupled to the door retaining rod piston which separates two pressure medium spaces from one another within the cylinder housing and is provided with a flow-regulating valve device, such that the Door lock is hydraulically blocked when the vehicle door has reached its desired opening position. The blocking of the door arrester is controlled by a brief, sudden reversal of the movement of the vehicle door and is therefore dependent on the attention of the vehicle user.

Um den Nachteil des Erfordernisses einer besonderen Betätigungsweise der Fahrzeugtür zu vermeiden ist es bei einer vergleichbaren Feststellvorrichtung ( DE-PS 25 55 062) bereits bekannt, das Blockieren des hydraulisch blockierbaren Feststellers zeitabhängig, insbesondere vermittels einer Federbelastung der durchflußregelnden Ventileinrichtung automatisch zu gestalten, derart, daß ein kurzzeitiges Festhalten der Fahrzeugtür in der gewünschten Öffnungslage bereits zu deren sicheren Feststellung in dieser Öffnungslage führt.In order to avoid the disadvantage of requiring a special actuation of the vehicle door, it is already known in a comparable locking device (DE-PS 25 55 062) to automatically block the locking of the hydraulically lockable locking device in a time-dependent manner, in particular by means of a spring load on the flow-regulating valve device, such that that a brief hold of the vehicle door in the desired opening position already leads to its secure detection in this opening position.

Allen genannten Bauarten von Türfestellern gemeinsam ist aber der Nachteil, daß es nicht möglich ist mittels des Türfeststellers eine in Bewegung befindliche Fahrzeugtür zunächst bis zum Stillstand abzubremsen, bevor ihre starre Festsetzung eintritt. Eine solche Situation tritt unter Anderen beispielsweise dann ein, wenn das Fahrzeug auf geneigter Fahrbahn steht und der Benutzer die Tür zunächst nur um einen gewissen Betrag öffnet, beispielsweise um Aussteigen zu können, der Tür aber ansonsten keine besondere Aufmerksamkeit widmet, so daß die Haltewirkung der bekannten, hydraulisch blockierbaren Türfeststeller nicht eintritt.Common to all the above-mentioned types of door frames is the disadvantage that it is not possible to first brake a moving vehicle door to a standstill by means of the door stop before it becomes rigidly fixed. Such a situation occurs, for example, when the vehicle is on an inclined road and the user initially only opens the door by a certain amount, for example in order to be able to get out, but otherwise does not pay particular attention to the door, so that the holding effect of the known, hydraulically lockable door lock does not occur.

Darüberhinaus erfordern die bekannten hydraulisch blockierbaren Türfeststeller auf Grund ihrer Ausbildung als durch einen Kolben in zwei Druckräume unterteilten Zylindergehäuse einerseits einen erheblichen Einbauraum und andererseits hinsichtlich der komplizierten Ausbildung des durchflußregelnden Ventilsystems einen sehr hohen Herstellungsaufwand.In addition, due to their design as cylinder housings divided by a piston into two pressure chambers, the known hydraulically lockable door locks require considerable installation space on the one hand and a very high production outlay in view of the complicated design of the flow-regulating valve system.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung daher die Aufgabe zugrunde einen hilfskraftunterstützten Kraftwagentürfeststeller zu schaffen, der zum einen eine sicher Abbremsung und Feststellung der Fahrzeugtür in bestimmten Öffnungslagen gewährleistet, zum anderen aber die Fahrzeugtür auch in jeder anderen Öffnungslage sicher Feststhält, ohne daß der Fahrzeugbenutzer der Ver- bzw. Entriegelung der Tür in der jeweiligen Öffnungslage eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit zu widmen braucht.Based on this prior art, the invention is therefore based on the object of providing an auxiliary power-assisted motor vehicle door arrester which, on the one hand, ensures safe braking and locking of the vehicle door in certain opening positions, but on the other hand also securely holds the vehicle door in any other opening position without the Vehicle users need to pay special attention to the locking and unlocking of the door in the respective opening position.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß einem als starre Türhaltestange ausgebildeten Türhalteglied als Halteeinrichtung eine einschaltbare elektromagnetische Feststellvorrichtung zugeordnet ist. Da bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Türfeststeller die Brems-bzw. Haltekraft vermittels einschaltbarer Stellmittel erzeugt oder ausgelöst wird, kann die Tür in jeder beliebigen Öffnungslage abgebremst und festgestellt werden. Darüberhinaus kann das Einschalten der elektromagnetischen Feststell-oder Arretierungsmittel mittels an den Türbetätigungseinrichtungen, insbesondere den Türgriffen, angeordneter Steuerschalter erfolgen, derart, daß die Türhaltestange in Abhängigkeit von der Handhabung oder auch nur der Berührung der Türbetätigungseinrichtungen selbstständig freigegeben bzw. festgestellt wird und der Fahrzeugbenutzer daher von jeder Aufmerksamkeit hinsichtlich des Türfeststellers entlastet ist. Schließlich kann der erfindungsgemäße Türfeststeller, insbesondere auch unter teilweiser Verwendung von Konstruktionsteilen herkömmlicher Türfeststeller, kleinbauend gestaltet werden.This object is achieved in that a switchable electromagnetic locking device is assigned to a door holding member designed as a rigid door holding rod as holding device. Since the brake or. Holding force is generated or triggered by means of switchable actuating means, the door can be braked and locked in any open position. Furthermore, the electromagnetic locking or locking means can be switched on by means of control switches arranged on the door actuation devices, in particular the door handles, in such a way that the door holding rod is released or ascertained independently of the handling or even just touching the door actuation devices and therefore the vehicle user is relieved of any attention to the door arrester. Finally, the door arrester according to the invention can be made small, in particular also with the partial use of construction parts of conventional door arresters.

Dabei kann gemäß einer ersten einfachen Ausführungsform die magnetische Haltekraft unmittelbar auf die Türhaltestange wirken, falls diese aus einem magnetisierbaren Material besteht. In diesem Falle ist dann die Türhaltestange zweckmäßig in Form eines Türhaltebandes aus einem Flachmaterialzuschnitt gebildet.According to a first simple embodiment, the magnetic holding force can act directly on the door holding rod if it is made of a magnetizable material. In this case, the door holding rod is then expediently formed in the form of a door holding band from a flat material blank.

In einer anderen bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß einem als starre Türhaltestange ausgebildeten Türhalteglied eine wenigstens ein bewegliches und mittels eines elektrischen Linearmotors und in Abhängigkeit von der Türbetätigung steuerbaren Stelleinrichtung relativ zur Türhaltestange verstellbares Brems-bzw. Halteglied aufweisende, in einem Haltergehäuse untergebrachte Brems-bzw. Halteeinrichtung zugeordnet ist.In another preferred embodiment it is provided that a door holding member designed as a rigid door holding rod has at least one movable and / or adjustable or by means of an electric linear motor and depending on the door actuation adjusting device adjustable relative to the door holding rod brake or. Holding member having brake or housed in a holder housing. Holding device is assigned.

Dabei kann in weiterer Ausgestaltung kann ferner vorgesehen sein, daß die Türhaltestange durch einen Flachmaterialzuschnitt gebildet ist und das verstellbare Brems-bzw. Halteglied plattenförmig ausgebildet ist und daß einem als Widerlager ausgebildten starr im Haltergehäuse angeordneten Brems-bzw. Halteglied ein im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Bewegungsebene der Türhaltestange verstellbar geführtes Brems-bzw. Halteglied gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist.In a further embodiment, it can further be provided that the door holding rod is formed by a flat material blank and the adjustable brake or. Holding member is plate-shaped and that a trained as an abutment rigidly arranged in the holder housing brake or. Retaining member a brake or adjustable guided substantially perpendicular to the plane of movement of the door support rod. Holding member is arranged opposite.

Nach einer anderen Ausführungsform kann aber auch vorgesehen sein, daß wenigstens eines der Brems-bzw. Halteglieder walzenförmig gestaltet ist und jeweils in einem innerhalb eines Haltergehäuses im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Bewegungsebene der Türhalte- stange verschieblich geführten Halter aufgenommen und der oder die Halter jeweils durch einen elektromagnetisch antreibbaren, druckfederbeaufschlagbaren Anker verstellbar sind.According to another embodiment, it can also be provided that at least one of the braking or. Holding members are designed in the form of a roller and are each accommodated in a holder which is displaceably guided within a holder housing substantially perpendicularly to the plane of movement of the door holding rod, and the holder or holders are each adjustable by an armature which can be driven electromagnetically and can be loaded with compression springs.

Hinsichtlich der Ausbildung der Steuerung des Türfeststellers wird vorgeschlagen, daß die elektromagnetischen Haltemittel des Türfeststellers unter Zwischensachltung eines mittels mit den Türbetätigungseinrichtungen gekoppelter Steuerschalter ansteuerbaren Relais an das bordeigene Stromnetz des Fahrzeuges angeschlossen sind. Die mit den Türbetätigungseinrichtungen, insbesondere Türgriffen, gekoppelten Steuerschalter sind zweckmäßigerweise als Stellungsfühler ausgebildet. Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Steuerschalter durch Tast- oder Berührungssensoren gebildet sind.With regard to the design of the control of the door arrester, it is proposed that the electromagnetic holding means of the door arrester are connected to the on-board power supply system of the vehicle with the interposition of a relay which can be controlled by means of a control switch coupled to the door operating devices. The control switches coupled to the door actuation devices, in particular door handles, are expediently designed as position sensors. However, it can also be provided that the control switches are formed by touch or touch sensors.

Dabei ist im einzelnen vorgesehen, daß die Steuerschalter mittels in den Türgriffen und der Armlehne und dergl. Ausstattungsteile der Fahrzeugtür untergebrachter Sensoren angesteuert werden, derart, daß die jeweiligen Stromversorgungsleitungen stromführend sind, solange ein Druck an den Türgriffen, der Armlehne oder dergl. üblichen Türbetätigungsorganen anliegt und somit der Türfeststeller wirkungslos bleibt, solange eine Druck-oder Zugkraft im öffnenden oder schließenden Sinne an der Fahrzeugtür ausgeübt wird.It is provided in detail that the control switches are controlled by means of sensors housed in the door handles and the armrest and the like is present and thus the door arrester remains ineffective as long as a pushing or pulling force is exerted on the vehicle door in the opening or closing sense.

In Verbindung mit dieser Ausgestaltung der Ansteuerung der Halteeinrichtung ist vorgesehen, daß wenigstens einer der Brems-oder Haltekörper mit einer zur Erzeugung einer ausreichenden Brems-bzw. Haltekraft geeigneten Federbelastung beaufschlagt ist. Ferner ist in weiterer Vervollständigung hierbei noch vorgesehen, daß die Türhaltestange quer zu ihrer Längserstreckung gerichtete Erhöhungen, insbesondere Ausbauchungen aufweist, wobei es zweckmäßig sein kann, daß die die Brems-bzw. Haltekörper tragenden Halter die Türhaltestange zangenartig umgreifen. Dadurch wird sicher gestellt, daß die Tür auch dann noch, wenigstens in vorgezeichneten Öffnungslagen, abgebremst bzw. festgestellt wird, wenn das elektrische Bordnetz des Fahrzeuges ausfallen sollte.In connection with this configuration of the control of the holding device, it is provided that at least one of the braking or holding bodies is equipped with a braking or Holding force suitable spring load is applied. Furthermore, in a further completion, it is also provided that the door holding rod has elevations, in particular bulges, directed transversely to its longitudinal extension, it being possible for the braking or. Holders holding the holder body grip around the door holding rod like pliers. This ensures that the door is still braked or locked, at least in the predetermined opening positions, if the vehicle's electrical system should fail.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung kann ferner auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Halteeinrichtung aus einem mit der Türhaltestange im ständigen formschlüssigen Eingriff befindlichen Sperrelement (z.B. einem mit der Türhaltestange kämmenden Ritzel) und einer diesem zugeordneten, einschaltbaren elektromagnetischen Arretiereinrichtung besteht.According to a further embodiment of the invention, it can also be provided that the holding device consists of a permanent positive locking with the door holding rod Interlocking element (for example, a pinion meshing with the door retaining rod) and an associated, switchable electromagnetic locking device.

Zur Ansteuerung des Elektromagneten 11 ist dem inneren Türgriff 12 und dem äußeren Türgriff 13 jeweils ein Stellungfühler 14 zugeordnet, der an eine elektrisache Steuerleitung 15 angeschlossen ist, welche vermittels eines als Transistor ausgebildeten Relais 16 die Stromversorgung für den Elektromagneten 11 in Abhängigkeit von der Türbetätigung durch den Fahrzeugbenutzer steuert.
Weitere Sensoren für eine auf die Fahrzeugtür ausgeübte Druck-oder Zugkraft des Fahrzeugbenutzers können, beispielsweise in Form geschlossener Hohlprofile, innerhalb der an der Türinnenverkleidung 17 angebrachten Armlehne 18 vorgesehen sein.A vehicle door, generally designated 1, is articulated via a pair of door hinges 2 to a door pillar 3 forming the other door linkage part.
