Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an assembly for a vehicle roof with a roof opening, and more particularly to an assembly for enabling a movable cover to selectively close or open the roof opening. The invention also relates to a vehicle roof having such an assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The component for the roof with a movable cover can be implemented as a so-called spoiler roof, such as that described in DE 102012 106 545 A1. Alternatively, the roof can also be implemented as a so-called externally guided sliding roof, such as that described in DE 197 13 347 C1.

[0003] In a sliding roof, the movable cover is typically adjusted relative to the vehicle's body-in-white, such as the body itself; that is, the cover is precisely adjusted within the roof opening. This is typically achieved through a set of turning points, often supplemented by one or more integrated sliding mechanisms. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The objective of this invention is to provide a component for a vehicle roof in which the adjustment of the cover relative to the roof opening is improved.

[0005] According to at least one embodiment, an assembly for a roof having a roof opening is disclosed. The assembly has a movable cover that, for opening, can be displaced in its rear region by means of a displacement device and subsequently moved into an open position, in which the cover closes the roof opening. Of course, the cover can be closed again by means of the displacement device in the opposite direction of movement. The assembly has a displacement device that is also configured to move the cover. The displacement device has a guide rail for mounting on the roof, in which a drive slider can be movably guided for moving and disposing the cover. The displacement device has a rear displacement lever for disposing the cover in its rear region. The rear displacement lever is pivotally coupled to the cover. The rear displacement lever is pivotally supported about a lower rotation axis about the guide rail and can be adjusted to different positions relative to the guide rail, particularly the lower rotation axis. In other words, this arrangement is configured such that the displacement lever can be adjusted (in other words, selectable or positionable) to different positions by changing the position of the lower rotation axis relative to the guide rail.

[0006] In this invention, the adjustment of the cover can be achieved by adjusting the rear-mounted mechanism relative to the guide rail. The rear-mounted lever can be positioned differently relative to the guide rail along its rotation axis, thereby adjusting the cover's position with respect to the roof opening due to the (direct or indirect) coupling of the rear-mounted lever with the cover.

[0007] For example, by moving the lower rotation axis upward, the rear extension rod moves accordingly, thereby causing the cover to move upward as well. It should be noted that the cover does not necessarily move to the same extent as the lower rotation axis and / or the rear extension rod, depending on the mechanical structure. This depends, for example, on the coupling of the rear extension rod with related components (cover, cover support, and / or guide rail) and / or the support of the rear extension rod relative to the guide rail, wherein acceleration or deceleration transmission mechanisms may be provided depending on the type of transmission mechanism. Importantly, by moving the lower rotation axis, the extension rod changes its position relative to the guide rail in the closed position of the cover, and thereby the cover support and the cover itself also change.

[0008] The following are some advantages of the present invention:

[0009] By employing the solution according to the invention, the traditionally provided reinforcing plate in the side area of ​​the lid, used for adjusting the lid by tightening, can be eliminated. Additional reinforcing structures can also be eliminated. By thus eliminating the side reinforcing elements and structures, costs can be saved.

[0010] Therefore, the cover bracket can be completely foamed onto the cover. This allows the cover to be supported on the cover bracket along its entire length or basic length, rather than with point supports as in the reinforcement plates of conventional installations. This results in a significantly more rigid cover or cover structure overall.

[0011] In addition, the free overhang of the cover can be shortened. This also helps to improve stiffness.

[0012] Due to its more rigid structure, this arrangement is suitable for high-speed vehicles.

[0013] This allows the cover support to be constructed relatively small in the height direction (Z direction) because, for example, reinforcing plates with bolts need not be considered. This makes the mechanism significantly more compact. This is particularly advantageous in the case of cover supports with integrated grooves, which already have relatively high structural space requirements.

[0014] Furthermore, the cap adjustment is particularly simple and easy to achieve during assembly and operation of the assembly. In particular, the lower rotation axis or lower axis bearing of the rear-mounted lever can be easily accessed. This enables good and simple adjustability of the cap.

[0015] This invention overcomes the problems of the aforementioned traditional reinforcing plates. In these cases, the adjusting bolts are difficult to reach, typically only through access holes in the guide rails. These holes are usually small, making it difficult to locate the adjusting bolts. Furthermore, this invention avoids the problem of these access holes encountering the guide rails of the sliding element (slider), thus preventing potential noise and hooking risks when passing through these guide rails.

[0016] Furthermore, the adjusting bolts can be positioned relatively optimally to achieve the maximum stiffness / strength of the cover bracket and thus the maximum stiffness / strength of the cover.

[0017] No other components are needed or almost no other components for adjustment, because the release mechanism is already present and included in the adjustment.

[0018] The adjustment of the cover itself can be intuitively and similarly preserved using methods proven over decades, such as positioning it around the lower rotation axis by means of the aforementioned adjusting bolts.

[0019] This invention enables the release of structural space in particularly narrow mechanical regions.

[0020] In addition, weight can be saved, for example, by eliminating components such as reinforcing plates.

[0021] The disclosed solution also enables good adjustability within the assembled vehicle roof.

[0022] The lower rotation axis or lower axis bearing is detachably fixed. That is, in the operating state, the lower rotation axis is fixed about the guide rail. The guide rail is fixed in position during operation, that is, fixed about the roof, vehicle body-in-white, or the like. The lower rotation axis is released, i.e., loosened, relative to the guide rail, only for adjusting the cover. For example, locking is achieved by one or more adjusting bolts. Compared to the aforementioned reinforcing plate, fewer adjusting bolts can be advantageously provided than to date. For example, only four adjusting bolts are needed instead of six. Furthermore, a more compact structure can be achieved because adjusting bolts can be omitted, for example, in the middle of the assembly or in the cover.

[0023] In the rear-mounted lever, a predetermined distance is provided between the two rotating hinges, namely the lower rotating hinge and the upper rotating hinge, regarding the coupling portion with the cover. Therefore, changes in the position of the lower rotating hinge directly affect the cover. The coupling between the rear-mounted lever and the cover can be direct, i.e., directly constructed, or indirect coupling can be conceived, for example, through the cover support and / or other coupling elements.

[0024] The lower rotation axis is part of the lower hinge, particularly the lower rotating hinge or rotating axis bearing. This is formed, for example, by a rotating pin or pivot pin on the lever and a corresponding receiving portion or intermediate member on the guide rail. The lower rotating axis bearing may optionally have a control groove for the rear extension lever, in which the lower rotation axis (e.g., the pin) is guided. According to the invention, the lower rotating hinge of the rear extension lever is thus used as an adjustable hinge. In other words, the position of the lower rotating hinge can be freely selected or fixed.

[0025] This component is specifically designed for so-called spoiler roofs. In the case of a spoiler roof, the rear extension lever is first twisted or swung along the rear edge of the vehicle's longitudinal direction to raise the rear edge of the cover. The cover then moves rearward relative to the rear extension lever in the opening direction to at least partially open the roof opening. Here, the rear extension lever is fixed relative to the rest of the roof and does not move with the cover in the opening direction.

[0026] This component is also suitable for so-called externally guided sliding roofs, in which a rear-mounted extension bar moves along the rear edge of the cover with the cover relative to the rest of the roof in the opening direction.

[0027] As applicable here and below: Positional and / or directional descriptions used, such as rear or front, refer to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, especially those relating to the compliant mounting configuration of components on the roof or within the vehicle. The longitudinal direction of the vehicle may also be referred to as the horizontal direction or the X-direction. The lifting or lowering of the cover is essentially done in the vertical direction (also known as the height direction or Z-direction). The rear area of ​​the cover can be understood, for example, as an area extending from the center of the cover towards the rear of the vehicle.

[0028] According to at least one embodiment, the lower rotation axis can be fixed in different positions along the adjustment direction between two end positions. This provides a definite positioning possibility. For example, a stop is provided to restrict the movement of the lower rotation axis. For example, an elongated hole is provided.

[0029] According to at least one embodiment, the lower rotation axis of the rear-mounted rod can be adjusted to different positions relative to the guide rail along the height direction (Z direction).

[0030] According to at least one embodiment, the lower rotation axis can be fixed relative to the guide rail within a range of + / -5 mm, particularly within a range of + / -4 or + / -3 mm. In particular, with respect to the intermediate position of the lower rotation axis, the lower rotation axis can be moved accordingly by 5 mm, particularly 4 mm or 3 mm in one direction or the opposite direction, for example, moving upward or downward along the height direction.

[0031] According to at least one embodiment, the rear extension rod is hinged to a support element in a manner that allows it to swing about a lower rotation axis, wherein the support element can be fixed in different positions relative to the guide rail. The support element is therefore an intermediate element or intermediate piece that mechanically couples (indirectly couples) the rear extension rod to the guide rail. The rear extension rod is directly and swingably supported on the support element about the lower rotation axis, thereby adjusting the position of the rear extension rod and thus the cover accordingly through the movement of the support element.

[0032] According to at least one embodiment, a) the support element is supported in a manner that allows it to swing relative to the guide rail about a support swing axis, and b) the support element can be fixed in different swing positions relative to the guide rail by adjusting bolts. The swing of the support element is released by loosening the adjusting bolts. Adjustment of the cover is achieved by rotating the support element relative to the fixed guide rail. The rotation of the support element can be restricted between two end positions as described above. Once the desired position of the support element is reached, it is fixed, i.e., securely tightened, with the adjusting bolts relative to the guide rail. The support element can be fixed directly or indirectly to the guide rail. The support element can also be fixed to another component, wherein the other component is fixed in position relative to the guide rail.

[0033] The support element is an intermediate component between the guide rail and the ejector rod. The support element is used to support the ejector rod relative to or on the guide rail. By providing the support element, simple and reliable adjustability of the cover can be achieved. To adjust the cover, only the support element needs to be positioned differently, while the rest of the mechanism remains unaffected. This avoids the difficult-to-reach adjustments to the cover itself as described above.

[0034] According to at least one embodiment, the lower rotation axis is arranged near the support rotation axis. For example, ideally, the lower rotation axis is coaxially aligned with the support swing axis, but more particularly, it is arranged at a distance of no more than 50 mm from the support swing axis. By strategically placing the lower rotation axis close to the support swing axis or at the starting point of the mechanical frame of the rear-mounted extension rod, i.e., coaxially aligned with the support swing axis, the frame height is hardly affected or is not affected at all.

[0035] According to at least one embodiment, the support element or guide rail has an elongated hole for fixing the support element by means of an adjusting bolt. The elongated hole defines an area for fixing. Therefore, the elongated hole limits the positionability and predefines two end positions. Thus, a simple and cost-effective method for adjusting the support element and the cover is provided.

[0036] According to at least one embodiment, the support element can be fixed in different positions relative to the guide rail by means of two adjusting bolts. Therefore, the support element is fixed particularly stably and reliably by the two bolts. For example, the swingable support of the support element on the guide rail is omitted; that is, no swing axis is provided, and only at least two adjusting bolts are used. These adjusting bolts must be loosened to allow the axis bearing element to be positioned.

[0037] One or two adjusting bolts can be tightened to the guide rail through the elongated holes of the support element or guide rail.

[0038] According to at least one embodiment, the support element is directly fixed to the guide rail. This is a direct support, in which no intermediate parts are required.

[0039] According to at least one embodiment, the rear ejector lever has a slotted pin that engages in an ejection slot in the closed position of the cover for ejecting the rear ejector lever, wherein the lower rotation axis, together with the ejection slot, is adjustable to different positions relative to the guide rail. The ejection slot is used to guide the rear ejector lever out, i.e., to lift it, thereby lifting the cover in the region of the rear edge in the Z direction (height direction). The rear ejector lever is supported in the ejection slot in the closed position by the slotted pin. Therefore, in the closed position of the cover, the rear ejector lever is located in a rest position defined with respect to the guide rail. By simultaneously changing the position of the lower rotation axis and the ejection slot (through coupling with the slotted pin), the rear ejector lever is forced to change its position with respect to the guide rail. Due to its coupling with the cover, the cover can be adjusted to the closed position.

[0040] The ejector slide is, for example, part of the aforementioned support element. Therefore, by changing the position of the support element relative to the guide rail, the lower rotation axis and the ejector slide move simultaneously, thereby repositioning the entire rear ejector rod in its rest position within the closed position of the cover. This achieves the aforementioned cover adjustment.

[0041] According to at least one embodiment, the cover is composed of a cover support and a plate element, wherein the cover support is foamed into the plate element. This results in the aforementioned advantages.

[0042] According to at least one embodiment, a roof for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The roof has a roof opening and a component according to any of the foregoing embodiments, the component being fixed in the roof opening on the roof.

[0043] The roof can basically achieve the aforementioned advantages and functions.

[0044] Other advantages, features, and improvements are derived from the examples illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Identical, similar, and functionally equivalent elements may be denoted by the same reference numerals in all drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0047] Figure 2 Exploded view of the components used for the roof, and

[0048] Figures 3 to 6 A schematic diagram of the component in different states. Detailed Implementation

[0049] Figure 1A schematic diagram of the roof 101 of a (motor) vehicle 100 is shown. The roof 101 is particularly part of the motor vehicle 100, such as part of a passenger vehicle. The roof 101 has an assembly 102. The assembly 102 has a movable cover 103. The cover 103 is used to close a roof opening 104. The roof opening 104 can be closed by means of the movable cover 103 or optionally at least partially releasable. For this purpose, the cover 103 can be moved relative to the roof 101 in the X direction and can be displaced in the Z direction by means of a displacement device.

[0050] Figure 1 The cover 103 is shown in its closed position, wherein the cover 103 completely closes the roof opening 104. From the closed position, the cover 103 can be raised in its rear region 105 at its rear edge 106 in the height direction Z into a ventilated position. Subsequently, the cover 103 can be moved rearward in the longitudinal direction X to at least partially release the roof opening 104.

[0051] Component 102 is constructed, in particular, as a spoiler roof. Component 102 has ejection devices (also called ejection and movement devices) arranged on both sides along the X direction (the longitudinal direction of the vehicle). These ejection devices are constructed mirror-image on both sides and corresponding to each other. On one side, these ejection devices include, in particular, a guide rail 109, a drive slider, and a rear ejection rod supported on the guide rail 109 and used to raise and lower the rear edge 106 of the cover 103. The guide rail 109 is attached to the roof 101 or body 110. The rear edge 106 is arranged along the longitudinal direction X opposite to the front edge 107 of the cover 103. The front edge 107 of the cover faces the windshield 108 of the vehicle 100. The drive slider moves within the guide rail 109 to open and close the cover.

[0052] Component 102 enables adjustment of the cover 103 relative to the roof opening 104. By means of... Figures 2 to 6 The adjustment of cover 103 is described. Here, only one side of the roof opening 104 is described.

[0053] Figure 2 An exploded view of assembly 102 is shown, illustrating the guide rail 109, cover bracket 111, and rear extension rod 112. Assembly 102 has a support element 113 that is pivotally hinged to the guide rail 109 about a support pivot axis 114. Furthermore, the support element 113 can be securely tightened to the guide rail 109 by an adjusting bolt 115. Here, the adjusting bolt 115 engages in an elongated hole 120 in the guide rail. The elongated hole 120 extends substantially along the height direction (adjustment direction).

[0054] On the support element 113, the rear extension rod 112 is pivotally supported about the lower rotation axis 116 by means of a lower rotary bearing. In this embodiment, the rear extension rod 112 is supported in a control groove 117 (not described in detail) of the support element 113; alternatively, this pivotal support can also be achieved without a control groove. The rear extension rod 112 is pivotally coupled to the cover support 111 about the upper rotation axis 118. The cover support 111 is fixedly connected to the cover 103 (not shown), and is in particular foamed into the cover 103. Therefore, the rear extension rod 112 is indirectly coupled to the cover 103 so that the cover can be extended. Furthermore, the rear extension rod 112 has a slotted pin 124, which is spatially located between the two rotation axes 118 and 116. The slotted pin 124 engages with the extension groove 125 of the support element 113 (in Figure 2 (Shown in dashed lines). The ejection slide 125 forces the rear ejection lever 112 into the ejection position, which is the ventilated position of the cover 103. Here, the rear ejection lever 112, for example, moves to the left in the region of the upper rotation axis 118. Figure 2 The rear release lever 112 moves upward about the lower rotation axis 116, where the release groove 125 and the groove pin 124 work together to cause the rear release lever 112 to swing upward. In this embodiment, the rear release lever 112 is oscillatingly attached to a slider 119, which is guided movably along the X direction on the cover bracket 111. Other couplings with the cover 103 or the cover bracket 111 are also conceivable. For simplicity, other embodiments for the release mechanism and for opening and closing the cover 103 are omitted.

[0055] In principle, the adjustment of the cover 103 works in such a way that the rear-mounted mechanism, namely the rear-mounted lever 112, can be positioned or oriented differently with respect to the guide rail 109, especially in the closed position of the cover 103. In other words, the position of the rear-mounted lever 112 relative to the guide rail 109 is adjustable, wherein, for example, the lower rotation axis 116 and the sliding pin 124 occupy another position relative to the guide rail 109. The position of the cover 103 is adjusted by changing this support, especially in the closed position.

[0056] For adjustment, the support element 113, which is fixedly connected to the guide rail 109 and cannot move relative to the guide rail 1099 in its operating state, is loosened and repositioned. Here, the adjusting bolt 115 is loosened, allowing the support element 113 to swing slightly downwards or upwards about the support rotation axis 114. This swingability is limited by the elongated hole 120, allowing the support element 113 to swing and be fixed arbitrarily between two end positions. This swinging changes the position of the rear extension rod 112; that is, the control slide and extension slide 125 of the support element 113 change relative to the guide rail 109, and thus the lower rotation axis 116 and slide pin 124 change. In other words, the two-point support of the rear extension rod 112 in this embodiment matches with respect to the guide rail 109 and thus with respect to the cover 103.

[0057] Figure 3 The first adjustment state is shown. Figure 4 It shows the section along AA (see Figure 3 The cross-section of the support element 113 is shown. If the adjusting bolt 115 is loosened, the support element 113 can swing upward (counterclockwise) to its maximum position 121 or downward (clockwise) to its maximum position 122. The two end positions 121 and 122 define the maximum swing position, at which the support element 113 can also be tightened to the guide rail 109 through the elongated hole 120 by means of the adjusting bolt 115. Between the two end positions 121 and 122, the support element 113 can be steplessly fixed by means of the adjusting bolt 115.

[0058] Since the rear extension rod 112 is directly coupled to the support element 113, the lower rotating hinge (lower rotation axis 116) and the support part move along the Z direction (adjustment direction) through the slide pin 124 in the extension slide 125, wherein the cover 103 is adjusted upward or downward along the Z direction accordingly.

[0059] Figure 3 The zero position is shown; in an exemplary embodiment, the cover 103 can move upwards from the zero position by a maximum of 3 mm. Figure 5 ) or move downwards by a maximum of 3mm ( Figure 6 As can be seen with reference to the accompanying drawings, the support element 113 swings accordingly and is fixed on the guide rail 109. Here, the lower rotation axis 116 and the slide pin 124 move accordingly in the Z direction, which can be clearly seen, for example, by the lower edge 123 of the guide rail 109.

[0060] As can also be seen with the aid of the accompanying drawings, the supporting swing axis 114 and the lower rotation axis 116 are arranged very close to each other, for example, spaced about 50 mm apart. The smaller the spacing, the less the adjustment of the cover has an impact on the height of the cover.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cover bracket 111 is foamed directly into the cover 103, i.e., into the board element, or directly onto the cover. The cover bracket 111 is connected to the cover 103 on its longitudinal side over a considerable length of the cover 103, for example, greater than 50%, 60%, 70%, or 80% of the cover length, thereby creating a particularly rigid and stable coupling. Furthermore, a flat, space-optimized structure can be achieved.

[0062] The mechanism described above can achieve the advantages and functions mentioned at the beginning. Of course, other displacement paths and adjustments can also be achieved depending on the structure of the mechanism, the elongated hole 120, etc. Decisively, in the closed position of the cover 103, the rear-mounted mechanism, that is, the rear-mounted lever 112, is adjusted relative to the guide rail 109.
