Problems solved by technology

[0003] Due to this coupling of the vehicle door to the body, there is the danger that in the event of a vehicle accident, that is, for example in the event of a collision with another vehicle, the locking wedge system is thus clamped between the door and the body structure due to the torsion of the body. so tight that it is difficult or perhaps no longer possible to open after such a collision, for example after a frontal collision

Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 A locking wedge system 1 known from DE 10 2012 011 420 A1 is shown, which assumes the function of door locking of a door 11 of a vehicle body 10 , which includes a locking wedge module 2 and a retaining block module 3 . The locking wedge module 2 is mounted on the lock side of the door 11 , and the retaining block module 3 is mounted on the door frame formed by the side wall frame 12 of the vehicle body 10 . When locking the door 11 , the locking wedge module 2 is coupled with the retaining block module 3 , so that there is a non-positive connection between the door 11 and the side wall frame 12 of the body 10 . The detailed construction and function of such a locking wedge system 1 are described in detail in the above-mentioned document DE 10 2012 011 420 A1, the content of which is fully included in this description.

[0043] figure 2 The state of the locking wedge system 1 is shown in which the locking wedge module 2 is coupled to the retaining block modu...

Abstract

A latching system (1), by which a coupled vehicle flap can be detached from a vehicle structure part, includes a closing wedge module with two closing wedges supported for movement relative to one another and having wedge faces, and a closing wedge holder for movably receiving the closing wedges. A holding jaw module has two holding jaws to receive the closing wedge module there between. The holding jaws have keyways configured to complement a contour of the wedge faces of the closing wedges. A drive unit moves the closing wedges apart to thereby push the wedge faces into the keyways of the holding jaws and to couple a vehicle flap with a structural part of a vehicle body. At least one of the closing wedges has a predetermined breaking point (2.12) to separate into a keyway-proximal part (2.13) and a closing-wedge-holder-proximal part (2.14), when the closing wedge is pushed into the keyways and a stress resistance of the closing wedge is exceeded by a mechanical load during operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a locking wedge system according to the preamble of claim 1 for the releasable connection of a vehicle hatch, in particular a door, to a structural part of the body, in particular a side wall frame. Background technique [0002] Such a locking wedge system is known from DE 10 2012 011 420 A1, which can be used as vehicle hatches, ie for example doors, front and rear lids, ie all movable for closing large openings in the vehicle Locks for components, especially as door locking systems for vehicle doors. In such a locking wedge system, a positive locking with the holding block of the holding block module is achieved both in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and in the vertical direction of the vehicle by means of two locking wedges. There is a strong force lock in the direction in which the locking wedge moves into the wedge groove of the retaining block. [0003] Due to this coupling of the door to the body, there is t...
