Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle lock according to claim 1 and to a method for producing such a motor vehicle lock according to claim 16.
  • the motor vehicle lock in question is equipped with a locking mechanism, which typically includes the locking elements “latch” and “pawl,” as well as a lock housing structure.
  • the motor vehicle lock has motorized functions, such as opening the locking mechanism.
  • the DE 10 2015 109494 A1 shows a motor vehicle lock with a locking mechanism and a lock housing structure with a motor drive arrangement.
  • the lock housing structure also includes an inner housing section equipped with the locking mechanism and the drive assembly, and a control housing section equipped with a control board. Furthermore, a lead frame of lead frame wires extending along the board plane is provided so that the control board can be electrically connected to other components to simplify wiring configurations and arrangements for the vehicle subsystems.
  • Another well-known motor vehicle lock ( DE 20 2013 103 042 U1 ) shows a drive assembly with an electric drive motor that serves to raise the locking mechanism's pawl.
  • the lock housing structure incorporates a capacitive energy storage assembly. In an emergency, an electrical power supply is thus available for the drive assembly or a control unit associated with the drive assembly.
  • the control of the drive assembly is a safety-relevant function
  • this is usually accompanied by a limitation of design flexibility, particularly with regard to the position of the drive assembly.
  • the invention is based on the problem of designing and developing the known motor vehicle lock in such a way that the components involved in controlling the drive arrangement can be pre-assembled and that, at the same time, a high degree of structural flexibility with regard to the position of the drive arrangement is ensured at low costs.
  • a motor vehicle lock in which the drive arrangement is arranged separately from the locking mechanism in a separate fluid-tight housing is known from US 9,353,556 B2 known. From the DE 11 2014 004 455 T5 A motor vehicle lock is known in which the memory arrangement and the drive arrangement are electrically connected directly to the printed circuit board.
  • the lock housing structure comprise an inner housing section equipped with the locking mechanism and the drive assembly, a housing cover for closing an upper side of the inner housing section, and, between the inner housing section and the housing cover, a control housing section equipped with a flat control board of the control unit and the energy storage assembly.
  • This design of the lock housing structure allows for the aforementioned pre-assembly of the control board and the energy storage assembly by equipping the control housing section with these control components and, if necessary, additional control components. This allows a self-contained functional unit to be constructed on the control housing section, which can be subjected to a functional test in its pre-assembled state.
  • a lead frame made of lead frames extending at least partially along the board plane is assigned to the control housing part, wherein at least part of the drive arrangement is electrically connected to the control board via the lead frames' leads.
  • the arrangement of the drive arrangement is not limited to the extent of the control board, but that the drive arrangement can be arranged largely arbitrarily with a suitable design of the lead frame.
  • the drive arrangement can be arranged laterally offset from the control board at any desired location along the board plane.
  • the control board can be designed independently of the position of the drive arrangement. This makes it possible to reduce the extent of the control board in the board plane.
  • the control board can take on a simple, in particular rectangular or square, shape, since the control board no longer necessarily has to extend towards the drive arrangement.
  • connection and arrangement of the energy storage arrangement are the subject of claims 2 and 3.
  • the electrical connection of the energy storage arrangement to the control board via lead frames of the lead frames according to claim 2 enables the energy storage arrangement to be positioned laterally offset relative to the control board. according to claim 3.
  • This spatial decoupling of the energy storage arrangement from the control board also leads to a high degree of structural flexibility, on the one hand with regard to the position of the energy storage arrangement and, on the other hand, with regard to the design of the control board.
  • the drive assembly and/or the control board and/or the energy storage assembly is/are preferably connected directly to the lead frame, i.e., without any intermediate connecting elements.
  • a plug-in connection or plug-in connections is proposed according to claim 4.
  • Such a plug-in connection is, on the one hand, easy to manufacture and, on the other hand, with a suitable design, is insensitive to mechanical tolerances.
  • a particularly compact design is achieved by arranging the control board and energy storage assembly on top of the partition wall of the control housing section, and arranging the drive assembly on the underside of the partition wall of the control housing section.
  • the partition wall can be used as a support for the stamped grid by embedding the stamped grid into the partition wall, preferably using a plastic injection molding process.
  • the partition wall is naturally made of a plastic material.
  • the connecting tabs are preferably part of the plug connection mentioned above, so that the connecting piece provides a counter-bearing when establishing the plug connection.
  • Preferred embodiments for the connecting tongues of the stamped grid lines are the subject of claims 5 to 8. Here it becomes clear that an extraordinarily high degree of structural flexibility can be achieved with the proposed stamped grid.
  • control housing section is fitted with the control board and the energy storage assembly, and only then is the inner housing section fitted with the control housing section. It is generally possible to perform a functional test of the pre-assembled functional unit after the control housing section has been fitted with the control board and the energy storage assembly.
  • control housing part is preferably assembled with the control board and/or the energy storage arrangement by joining the control board or the energy storage arrangement to the lead frame. This can be easily achieved using a plug-in connection as described above, so that the proposed method can be implemented with particularly low effort.
  • the proposed motor vehicle lock 1 is applicable to all types of locking elements of a motor vehicle. These include, in particular, side doors, rear doors, tailgates, trunk lids, front hoods, and especially engine hoods. These locking elements can be designed as swing doors or sliding doors.
  • Fig. 1 shows that the motor vehicle lock 1 is equipped with a locking mechanism 2 consisting of a lock latch 3 and a pawl assembly 4 associated with the lock latch.
  • the lock latch 3 interacts in the usual manner with a locking part 5 to hold the associated locking element in the closed position.
  • the pawl assembly 4 consisting of two pawls 4a, 4b blocks the lock latch 3 in its respective closed position.
  • the pawl assembly 4 here the pawl 4b, must be lifted out.
  • the locking part 5 is preferably arranged on the motor vehicle body, while the motor vehicle lock 1 is arranged on the closure element. This can also be arranged the other way around.
  • the motor vehicle lock 1 further comprises a lock housing structure 6 which, as also shown in Fig. 1 is shown, is multi-part.
  • a motor drive arrangement 7 for motor-driven driving of at least one mechanical lock component, here the pawl 4b
  • a control unit 8 for controlling the drive arrangement 7 and an energy storage arrangement 9, here and preferably capacitive, for supplying electrical voltage to the drive arrangement 7 and/or the control unit 8.
  • the drive arrangement 7 has a first electric drive motor 10, which serves to lift the pawl 4b and thus to open the locking mechanism 2.
  • the drive arrangement 7 can only have a single electric drive motor.
  • the drive arrangement 7 has a second drive motor 11, which serves to set mechanical locking states.
  • a lock mechanism 12 is provided, which can be brought into the various locking states by the second drive motor 11.
  • the illustrated and preferred motor vehicle lock 1 is an electric lock with mechanical redundancy. This means that the locking mechanism 2 can be opened either by the drive assembly 7 or by manual actuation, for example, via a manually retractable exterior door handle. In principle, however, the motor vehicle lock 1 can also be a purely electric lock.
  • the lock housing structure 6 has an inner housing part 13 equipped with the locking mechanism 2 and the drive arrangement 7, a housing cover 14 for closing an upper side 15 of the inner housing part 13, and between the inner housing part 13 and the housing cover 14, a control housing part 17 equipped with a flat control board 16 of the control unit 8 and the energy storage arrangement 9.
  • This arrangement allows the complete assembly of the control housing part 17 with the energy storage arrangement 9, the control board 16, and optionally further electrical or electronic components such as actuators, sensors, switches, or the like.
  • the control housing part 17 thus equipped forms a self-contained functional unit that can be subjected to a functional test in this pre-assembled state.
  • closure in connection with the housing parts, in particular the housing cover 14, should be interpreted broadly. This does not necessarily mean a closure that seals against liquids on all sides, but can also be implemented as a cover. This is particularly important given that, depending on the design of the motor vehicle lock 1, passages for levers or the like may need to be provided.
  • control housing part 17 is assigned an electrically conductive lead frame 19 comprising lead frames 20, 21, extending at least in sections along the board plane 18 of the control board 16, wherein at least a part of the drive arrangement 7 is electrically connected to the control board 16 via the lead frames 20, 21 of the lead frame 19.
  • the lead frames 20 assigned to the drive arrangement 7 are in Fig. 2 shown. From this illustration it is clear that the drive arrangement 7, in particular the drive motors 10, 11, can be arranged largely arbitrarily along the board plane 18 of the control board 16 without the control board 16 having to have correspondingly large dimensions. Furthermore, Fig. 2 that the production of a plug connection, which will be explained later, with the lead frame 19 is easily possible due to the extension of the lead frame 19 along the board plane 18, provided that the assembly movements required for this purpose are provided transversely to the board plane 18, as in the illustrated embodiment.
  • Fig. 2 Finally, it is shown that additional electrical or electronic components can be easily connected to the lead frame 19, which are controlled and/or read out via the control board 16.
  • control boards 16 are provided, which in turn are connected to the lead frame 19.
  • the energy storage arrangement 9 is a capacitive energy storage arrangement.
  • Such an energy storage arrangement 9 has capacitors for storing electrical energy. These capacitors are preferably supercapacitors, also referred to as ultracapacitors.
  • the energy storage arrangement 9 can have other types of energy storage devices, in particular accumulators or the like.
  • the energy storage arrangement 9 has a first capacitor 22 and a second capacitor 23, which are configured separately from one another. In principle, it can also be provided that only a single capacitor or more than two capacitors are assigned to the energy storage arrangement 9.
  • the electrical connection between the energy storage arrangement 9 and the control board 16 can be designed to be particularly insensitive to mechanical tolerances. Relative movements between the control board 16 and the energy storage arrangement 9, as far as the electrical connection is concerned, only affect the other component via the lead frame 19.
  • the lead frame 19 can be designed to be flexible, at least in sections, which further increases its tolerance insensitivity.
  • control board 16 and the energy storage arrangement 9 are mounted separately from one another on the control housing part 17, so that mechanical interaction between these two components is further reduced.
  • mechanical vibrations of the energy storage arrangement 9 are transmitted at most to the control housing part 17 and not directly to the control board 16. This mechanical decoupling leads to mechanical protection of the control board 16 and thus to a reduction in the probability of failure of the control board 16.
  • the electrical connection between the energy storage arrangement 9 and the lead frame 19 is designed as a plug connection.
  • Fig. 2 shows that the plug connection here is an insulation displacement connection 27, 28, which is provided between the terminals 22a, 23a and the lead frame 19.
  • the terminals 22a, 23a are arranged in pairs in coordination with the associated terminal tongues and have such different dimensions that polarity reversal of the terminals 22a, 23a is impossible.
  • the lead frame 19 is embedded in a housing wall of the lock housing structure 6.
  • This housing wall is the partition wall 29 mentioned above.
  • At least some of the connecting tabs are preferably designed as connecting pins, each of which provides a connector plug for a plug-socket connection.
  • at least some of the connecting tabs here the connecting tabs 36
  • at least some of the connecting tabs are designed in the manner of insulation displacement terminals.
  • at least some of the connecting tabs are designed as resilient connecting elements, and/or that at least some of the connecting tabs are designed as, here and preferably, resilient, connecting sockets. All of these preferred configurations of connecting sockets serve to establish the above electrical connection to the lead frame 19 via a plug connection that is easy to manufacture and insensitive to mechanical tolerances. In principle, however, the respective electrical connections can also be produced, at least in part, by a conventional soldering process.
  • FIG. 1 and Fig. 2 A summary of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 further shows that the housing cover 14, together with the inner housing part 13, completely encloses the control housing part 17, particularly in a sealing manner. This results in further design flexibility, particularly with regard to the design of the control housing part 17 and the sealing requirements that may need to be met there.
  • the term "sealing" is to be understood here in the sense of a liquid-tight seal.
  • the control housing part 17, together with the housing cover 14, forms at least one chamber closed in the above sense for accommodating the energy storage arrangement 9 and/or the control board 16.
  • the first housing section 38 and the second housing section 39, together with the housing cover 14, each form a chamber closed in the above sense.
  • the motor vehicle lock 1 is preferably assigned an assembly direction 41, wherein the control housing part 17 can be equipped with the energy storage arrangement 9 in an assembly movement 42 in the assembly direction, establishing the plug connection with the lead frame 19.
  • the control housing part 17 can be equipped with the control board 16 in an assembly movement 43 in the assembly direction 41, establishing the plug connection with the lead frame 19.
  • the inner housing part 13 can be equipped with the control housing part 17 in an assembly movement 44 in the assembly direction 41, establishing the plug-in connection with the lead frame 19.
  • the illustrated embodiment shows an interesting mechanical fastening of the energy storage arrangement 9.
  • the control housing part 17 has a clamping arrangement 45, wherein during the assembly movement 42 of the energy storage arrangement 9 in the assembly direction 41, the energy storage arrangement 9 comes into clamping engagement with the control housing part 17 via the clamping arrangement 45.
  • the clamping arrangement 45 preferably has clamping ribs 46 that extend along the assembly direction 41.
  • Other variants for the design of the clamping arrangement 45 are conceivable.
  • a particularly advantageous feature of the clamping arrangement 45 is the fact that the assembly movement 42 of the energy storage arrangement 9 creates not only an electrical connection, but also a mechanical connection.
  • the assembly movement of the energy storage arrangement 9 in particular is of particular importance in this case, since it must be ensured that the energy storage arrangement 9, as a safety-relevant component, always maintains a secure electrical connection to the lead frame 19.
  • the motor vehicle lock 1 is initially assigned a closing direction 47, in which the motor vehicle lock 1 runs in the assembled state when the associated closure element is closed.
  • the assembly movement 42 of the energy storage arrangement 9 is oriented differently, in particular transversely, to the closing direction 47. This ensures that the electrical connection of the energy storage arrangement 9 to the lead frame 19 is not impaired during intended use.
  • a further preferred measure for high operational reliability consists in the housing cover 14 having a hold-down arrangement 48a, which acts forcefully on the energy storage arrangement 9, in particular on the housings of the capacitors 22, 23, in the assembly direction 41. This ensures that any accelerations that may occur, in particular vibrations, cannot impair the electrical connection between the energy storage arrangement 9 and the lead frame.
  • the hold-down arrangement 48a has web-like formations arranged on an inner side of the housing cover 14.
  • the housing cover 14 has a contact holder arrangement 48b, which acts in a force-locking manner on the terminals 22a, 23a of the energy storage arrangement 9, in particular the capacitors 22, 23, in the assembly direction 41. This, in turn, ensures that the terminals 22a, 23a cannot leave the connection with the lead frame 19.
  • control housing part 17, here and preferably the control board 16 is equipped with an electrical connector assembly 49, which is accessible through the housing cover 14.
  • the housing cover 14 is provided with corresponding recesses 50.
  • the control housing part 17 is first fitted with the control board 16 and the energy storage assembly 9. Only then is the inner housing part 13 fitted with the control housing part 17, thereby establishing the electrical connection between the control board 16 and the drive assembly 7.
  • the first method step allows a functional test to be performed without having to assemble the entire motor vehicle lock 1.
  • control housing part 17 is equipped with the control board 16 and/or the energy storage arrangement 9 by joining the control board 16 or the energy storage arrangement 9 to the lead frame 19. As mentioned above, this is preferably provided via a plug-in connection. Reference is made to all explanations of the proposed motor vehicle lock 1 that are suitable for explaining the proposed method.
