Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a modular assembly for movable parts of a vehicle, such as doors or covers. The modular assembly is particularly designed for use on fixed handles, grab handles, or housings of the movable part, or on vehicle components that connect to the movable part. The modular assembly is preferably designed for operation of the movable part, including locking, unlocking, opening, and / or closing. The invention also relates to a method for operating a movable part of a vehicle using a corresponding modular assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Movable door handles for motor vehicles are known, which can move between a closed position and a pulled-out open position to allow manual opening of the door. Additionally, fixed door handles with sensors are known, which are operated automatically to open the door, for example, by inserting a hand into the handle slot without active movement of the handle. To open a door, a locking system must first be operated to unlock it. Mechanical locking systems are known, which can be mechanically locked and / or unlocked by operating a mechanical lock cylinder. Furthermore, automatic door locking systems are known, which can be locked and / or unlocked without using a mechanical lock cylinder. Such automatic locking systems can be designed as active or passive keyless entry systems, allowing unlocking of the door without the intervention of an authorized driver. After unlocking the door, it can be automatically opened by pulling the movable door handle or by operating a sensor on the door handle. Such locking systems can also be designed as keyless start systems, which are fully automatic and also allow starting the vehicle by easily operating a start button. For this purpose, the driver must carry an electronic key in the form of an ID transmitter for verification by the vehicle's security systems. These door handles typically employ proximity sensors, which first detect the user's presence and then initiate an identity lookup to verify user authorization. During the lookup, the vehicle's security system communicates with an ID transmitter to retrieve an identification code. If the legitimate user's identity is successfully verified, the locking system automatically unlocks the door, allowing automatic door opening by pulling the movable door handle or by activating a sensor on the fixed door handle.

[0003] Modern automobiles typically feature an emergency door opening system to enable operation of the locking system and door opening in emergency situations, such as during an accident. Upon detection of an accident, the locking system automatically unlocks. To finally open the door, an emergency opening element can be installed on the door handle, which can be connected to a pull element. The pull element is then in effective mechanical engagement with the locking system, allowing the door to be opened by pulling the emergency opening element. For this purpose, a triggering device for the emergency opening element can be provided, which automatically moves the emergency opening element from a rest position to an active position upon detection of an accident. In known systems, besides emergency situations such as during an accident, other conditions have been identified where the locking system cannot be reliably operated. These other emergency situations may occur, for example, when vehicle electronics fail and / or the power supply for the automatic operation of the locking system and / or the operation of the sensors fails. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is therefore to improve a modular assembly for movable parts of a vehicle, such as doors or covers, particularly for application to fixed handles, handrails, or housings of movable parts, or vehicle components adjacent to movable parts, which allows reliable operation of the movable part in various or even all emergency situations. In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a modular assembly for movable parts of a vehicle that allows for improved, simple, and intuitive reliable operation of the movable part. Furthermore, the object of the present invention is to provide a modular assembly for movable parts of a vehicle that is simple, compact, and lightweight in construction, and can be easily installed on movable parts, particularly fixed handles or handrails, or housings of movable parts, or vehicle components adjacent to movable parts.

[0005] The aforementioned task is accomplished by a modular assembly for a movable part of a vehicle and a method for operating the movable part of the vehicle by means of such a modular assembly. Here, the features and details described with respect to the modular assembly of the invention are obviously also applicable to the method of the invention, and vice versa; therefore, disclosures regarding these aspects of the invention are always cross-referenced or can be cross-referenced.

[0006] This task is accomplished, in particular, by a modular component for movable parts of a vehicle, such as doors or covers. The modular component is specifically designed for use on fixed handles, grips, or housings of the movable part, or on vehicle components that connect to the movable part, and is preferably designed for operation of the movable part, including locking, unlocking, opening, and / or closing. The modular component has: - Also known as a mounting bracket, it serves to secure the modular assembly to the movable part of the vehicle and supports the movable emergency opening mechanism. - Emergency opening mechanism for emergency operation of movable parts of a vehicle in the event of an accident and / or in the event of a power outage, especially in the case of both. The emergency opening mechanism includes a pull member for operating the lock to specifically open the movable part. The emergency opening mechanism can move between at least two positions, namely: In the resting position, the emergency opening component is supported on the support housing, and... In its working position, the emergency release mechanism is operable by the user to operate the lock by pulling the pull mechanism, and - A triggering device for the emergency opening mechanism, used to automatically move the emergency opening mechanism from the rest position to the working position, especially in the event of an accident. The emergency opening mechanism is designed to be able to be moved from the rest position to the working position by manual force applied by the user, especially in the event of a power outage or in the event of electrical and / or electronic failures within the vehicle, including electronic device failure, power supply failure and / or sensor failure.

[0007] The inventive concept lies in the fact that, in the event of a vehicle accident, a triggering device automatically moves the emergency opening component from the idle position to the active position. The inventive concept also lies in the fact that, in the event of a power outage (which particularly includes electronic device failure, power supply failure, and / or sensor failure, i.e., all emergencies related to in-vehicle electrical and / or electronic malfunctions), the emergency opening component can be manually moved from the idle position to the active position by the user, for example, by simply pressing the emergency opening component.

[0008] Advantageously, the modular component of the present invention is compatible with locking systems that can be designed as keyless entry or keyless start systems. According to two alternatives, corresponding sensors for presence detection, such as capacitive sensors, and / or sensors for activation behavior detection, such as inductive sensors, can be integrated into the modular component. According to another advantage, in addition to sensors, an illumination unit can also be integrated into the modular component for better location, for example, in or within a handgrip slot. Furthermore, an electronic unit can be integrated into the modular component to control the corresponding locking system and communicate with the vehicle's security system.

[0009] The vehicle's security system can be designed to perform identity verification via radio or NFC. The vehicle's locking system is preferably designed without mechanical lock cylinders for locking and / or unlocking movable parts. The locking system unlocks the movable parts once an authorized user has successfully verified their identity with the vehicle's security system. Subsequently, the locking system automatically unlocks the doors when the corresponding sensors on the modular components are activated. In such locking systems, it is typically specified that the locking system automatically unlocks all doors in an emergency.

[0010] However, if the electronic or power supply of such a locking system fails, the mechanical lock cylinder cannot be used to open the movable part. According to the invention, the locking system can still be manually operated to open the movable part even in the event of a power outage. For this purpose, the user simply presses the emergency opening element with, for example, a force of about 15 Newtons to move it from the rest position to the working position. In the working position, the emergency opening element can be easily grasped, for example, as it protrudes from the hand slot. In the working position, the user can comfortably grasp the emergency opening element to pull it. Finally, by pulling the emergency opening element with, for example, a force of about 1000 Newtons, the locking system can be operated to open the movable part.

[0011] It can also be specified in the modular unit that the emergency opening component, in its resting position, is supported on the support housing via a form-fit and / or force-fit connection, particularly a locking connection. Thus, a quick, simple, preferably separable and reversible mechanical connection can be provided for supporting the emergency opening component on the support housing. The locking connection can be established, for example, between the emergency opening component and the support housing, particularly between a locking protrusion on the emergency opening component and a stop on the support housing.

[0012] It can also be specified in the modular unit that the emergency opening element can be disengaged from the form-fitting and / or force-fitting connection, especially the locking connection, to the support housing via a bayonet-type connection, in order to move the emergency opening element from the rest position to the working position. In this case, it is conceivable that the emergency opening element is designed as a cylinder and housed along its longitudinal axis in a complementary cylindrical guide mechanism on the support housing. A bayonet-type connection is established between the cylindrical emergency opening element and the cylindrical guide mechanism within the support housing. To support the emergency opening element on the support housing, the emergency opening element is simply moved into the guide mechanism on the support housing until a locking element, for example in the form of a locking protrusion, engages with a corresponding stop, preferably in a form-fitting and / or force-fitting manner, to establish a locking connection between the emergency opening element and the support housing. To disengage the locking connection, a bayonet-type connection can be advantageously employed, which allows the emergency opening element to rotate when pressed. Rotating the emergency opening mechanism causes the locking protrusion on it to turn and disengage from its corresponding stop on the support housing, thus releasing the emergency opening mechanism from the locking connection. After the locking connection is released, the emergency opening mechanism can be driven from the rest position to the working position by means of a pre-tensioned spring.

[0013] It can also be specified in the modular unit that the emergency opening element is designed to move from the rest position to the release position by being pressed by the user in the opposite direction to the working position, particularly by pressing one end face of the emergency opening element on the end side. In the release position of the emergency opening element, the form fit and / or force fit connection, especially the locking connection, between the emergency opening element and the support housing can be advantageously released, allowing the emergency opening element to be moved to the working position by a pre-tensioned spring.

[0014] The emergency opening mechanism can also be designed in a modular unit such that, when pressed by the user in the opposite direction to the working position, it can be axially displaced from the rest position to the release position and automatically rotated by the axial displacement. This rotation allows the emergency opening mechanism to disengage from its form-fitting and / or force-transmitting connection with the support housing, particularly the locking connection. This releases the emergency opening mechanism, allowing it to move from the rest position to the working position via a pre-tensioned spring.

[0015] The modular unit may also specify that the emergency opening component has a locking element, preferably in the form of a locking protrusion, preferably integrally formed, uniformly made of material, and / or integrally formed, which engages with a stop on the support housing, particularly one loaded with spring force, in the resting position of the emergency opening component. Through the locking element and the stop, a form-fitting and / or force-transmitting connection, particularly a locking connection, can be established between the emergency opening component and the support housing in the resting position. Through this form-fitting and / or force-transmitting connection, particularly the locking connection, between the emergency opening component and the support housing, the emergency opening component can be supported on the support housing in the resting position.

[0016] It can also be specified in the modular unit that a stop, particularly one loaded with spring force, is provided on the support housing to support the emergency opening component on the support housing in the resting position, particularly in a form-fit and / or force-fit manner. The stop can be, for example, constructed in the form of a leaf spring, which preferably has a locking element for the emergency opening component, particularly a bottom cut of a locking protrusion. It is also conceivable that the stop can have a pawl with a return spring, particularly rotatably mounted on the support housing. In principle, various different designs of the locking element and the stop are conceivable to establish a form-fit and / or force-fit connection, particularly a locking connection, between the emergency opening component and the support housing.

[0017] The modular unit may also specify that the emergency opening element has a control groove, particularly integrally formed, which engages with a control cam in a guide mechanism on the support housing, so as to convert the axial displacement of the emergency opening element from the rest position to the release position when the user presses the emergency opening element in the opposite direction to the working position into rotational motion. Advantageously, the control groove on the emergency opening element and the control cam in the guide mechanism on the support housing can form a bayonet connection. With the help of the bayonet connection, the emergency opening element can be easily separated from the form-fitting and / or force-fitting connection with the support housing, especially the locking connection. Therefore, the emergency opening element can be released to move from the rest position to the working position by a pre-tensioned spring.

[0018] Alternatively, the modular unit may specify that the control slide has a control rib that is inclined, particularly towards the axial extension of the emergency opening component, so as to rotate the emergency opening component by means of the axial displacement of the emergency opening component from the rest position to the release position when the user presses the emergency opening component in the direction opposite to the working position. In this way, the axial displacement of the emergency opening component can be easily converted into rotational motion.

[0019] It can also be specified in the modular unit that the control slide has a guide rib that is inclined, particularly relative to the axial extension of the emergency opening member, so as to rotate the emergency opening member to return to its initial rotational orientation when moved from the release position to the working position. In this way, it is possible to achieve substantially translational movement of the emergency opening member when it is automatically moved from the rest position to the working position, especially in the event of an accident, and / or when the emergency opening member is manually moved from the working position to the rest position after it has been used to operate the movable part.

[0020] The control chute can also be specified in the modular unit as having a funnel-shaped access area for engaging the control cam in the guide mechanism on the support housing. In this way, the emergency opening element can be advantageously accommodated in the guide mechanism on the support housing according to the correct rotational orientation. The emergency opening element, accommodated in the guide mechanism on the support housing, can be continuously moved into the guide mechanism until a form-fit and / or force-fit connection, especially a locking connection, is established between the emergency opening element and the support housing. For this purpose, the stop on the support housing can be lifted by the emergency opening element and engaged with the locking element on the emergency opening element. Thus, the emergency opening element can be supported on the support housing in the rest position.

[0021] Advantageously, the length and / or slope of the control rib can be adjusted based on the possible travel distance for pressing the emergency opening mechanism (depending on a given structural space condition) and / or the possible rotation angle of the emergency opening mechanism for disengaging the bayonet-type connection with the support housing. This travel distance corresponds to the axial displacement of the emergency opening mechanism from the rest position to the release position. In this way, the modular assembly can be easily adapted to a given structural space condition. The possibilities for using the modular assembly in different locations are thus expanded.

[0022] For example, it is conceivable that the travel distance of the emergency opening mechanism, particularly from the rest position to the release position, can be set between 2 and 10 mm, particularly between 3 and 8 mm, and preferably 5 mm. This allows for a relatively short travel distance, enabling reliable release of the form-fit and / or force-fit connection between the emergency opening mechanism and the support housing via a bayonet-type connection, especially a locking connection. This provides a simple and comfortable way to manually move the emergency opening mechanism from the rest position to the working position, especially in the event of a power outage.

[0023] It is also conceivable that the rotation angle of the emergency opening device used to disengage from the bayonet-type connection with the support housing can be set between 15° and 60°, particularly between 30° and 45°, and preferably 45°. Therefore, a relatively short travel distance can be provided by utilizing a bayonet-type connection, especially a locking connection, for reliably separating the form-fitting and / or force-transmitting fit between the emergency opening device and the support housing.

[0024] Alternatively, in the modular unit, the emergency opening element can be positioned on the support housing in the rest position such that it protrudes from a receiving hole in the guide mechanism within the support housing by a distance of 2-4 mm, particularly 3 mm, and for example, into a hand slot on the support housing. In this way, the emergency opening element can be easily accessed, for example, within the hand slot. Furthermore, the movement distance of the emergency opening element from the rest position to the release position can be extended by making it protrude from the guide mechanism within the support housing.

[0025] Alternatively, in the modular unit, the emergency opening element can be positioned on the support housing in the release position such that it can be inserted into a receiving hole in the guide mechanism within the support housing to a depth of 1-3 mm, particularly 2 mm. This provides the necessary travel distance for the emergency opening element to move from the rest position to the release position, thereby providing a bayonet connection, particularly a reliable function for releasing the form-fit and / or force-fit connection between the emergency opening element and the support housing, especially a locking connection.

[0026] Advantageously, a stop can be provided in the guide mechanism within the support housing for the emergency opening component to mark the release position of the emergency opening component, thus disengaging the form-fit and / or force-fit connection with the support housing, particularly the locking connection. This provides tactile feedback to the user, signaling that the locking connection has been disengaged and the user can release it, allowing the emergency opening component to be moved out without user assistance using a pre-tensioned spring. Instead of or as a supplement to the stop, force increase or decrease can be specified, or a clicking sound can be provided to mark the release position of the emergency opening component for disengaging the form-fit and / or force-fit connection with the support housing, particularly the locking connection. This allows for intuitive operation of the emergency opening component, enabling manual movement from the rest position to the working position by the user, especially in the event of a power outage.

[0027] Alternatively, the emergency opening mechanism can be specified in the modular unit to have a particularly convex end face designed to withstand manual force applied by the user. This allows the user's force to be transmitted to the center of the end face, pressing the emergency opening mechanism as far as possible along the longitudinal axis. This ensures reliable operation of the emergency opening mechanism, thus reducing friction in the guide mechanism within the support housing.

[0028] The emergency opening mechanism can also be specified in the modular unit to have a rough surface on one end face to stabilize the finger in place. This prevents the user's finger from slipping when pressing the emergency opening mechanism.

[0029] Advantageously, it is conceivable that emergency opening components are made of shape-stable and, in particular, fiber-reinforced materials, preferably glass fiber-reinforced polyamide. In this way, emergency opening components that can operate for extended periods and be used multiple times can be provided.

[0030] It can also be specified in the modular unit that the emergency opening component has, in particular, an integrally formed guide slot for the pulling component, for separably securing the pulling component to the emergency opening component, especially by form-fitting and / or force-transmitting means. In this way, a simple connection with the pulling component can be provided. This also allows the emergency opening component to be replaced without removing the pulling component.

[0031] It can also be specified in the modular unit that the pulling member has a fixed cylinder, which is movably, and especially rotatably, housed in a particularly cylindrical cavity within the emergency opening member. Here, it is conceivable that the guide slot is basically designed in an L-shape and preferably leads into this cavity. Therefore, the pulling member can be easily and comfortably, preferably separably, especially by form-fitting and / or force-transmitting means, fixed to the emergency opening member. This also allows the pulling member to be at least partially disengaged from the guide slot on the emergency opening member in order to pull it in the working position, and / or to be repositioned into the guide slot on the emergency opening member in order to manually move the emergency opening member from the working position to the rest position.

[0032] It can also be specified in the modular unit that the pulling element is designed in the form of a rope, especially a fiber-reinforced plastic rope or chain. In this way, a stable pulling element can be provided to transmit a large force, for example, about 1000 Newtons, to the lock.

[0033] It can also be specified in the modular unit that the pulling element is effectively connected to the Bowden cable via a lever mechanism. In this case, it is also conceivable that the Bowden cable can be effectively connected to the lock so that the lock can be operated by pulling the pulling element. Therefore, a mechanically effective connection to the lock can be provided in an advantageous manner.

[0034] Alternatively, the emergency opening mechanism can be specified in the modular unit to be driven from the rest position to the working position by means of spring force. In this way, the emergency opening mechanism can be moved to the working position without user assistance after the locking mechanism is disengaged.

[0035] A spring element, supported on a support housing, can also be incorporated into the module unit to move the emergency opening component from the rest position to the working position. It is particularly conceivable that the spring element could be designed as a torsion spring. Alternatively, it could be designed as a compression spring. This provides a simple actuator to move the emergency opening component from the rest position to the working position.

[0036] Furthermore, it is conceivable that the spring element could have a spring arm, which could be applied with spring force and rest against the emergency opening element in the rest position. The spring arm could advantageously be designed and / or have at least one curved portion to increase the effective leverage ratio of the spring element acting on the emergency opening element when moving from the rest position to the working position and / or extend the operating distance of the emergency opening element from the rest position to the working position. This can thus reduce the structural space required for the modular assembly.

[0037] Advantageously, the spring member may have a bend at an angle, preferably at a point where it abuts against the spring arm of the emergency opening member under spring force, for longitudinal abutment against the emergency opening member (20). The bend allows the spring member to be stably supported on the emergency opening member. In addition, the bend ensures that the pull member, which is fixed to the emergency opening member and used to operate the lock, remains on the side of the spring member and is not entangled on the spring member.

[0038] It is also conceivable that the spring component could have a support arm, which rests on a stop on the support housing. This allows for simple pre-tensioning of the spring component.

[0039] It is also conceivable that the spring element could have a helically wound spring core, which could be placed at the spring dome on the support housing. In this way, the spring element can be simply supported on the support housing.

[0040] Alternatively, the modular unit may specify a particularly cylindrical guide mechanism for the emergency opening component on the support housing. This mechanism is designed to guide the emergency opening component as it moves from the rest position to the release position and from the release position to the working position. This allows for a stable movement of the emergency opening component from the rest position to the release position and from the release position to the working position. The cylindrical guide mechanism may be advantageous for establishing a bayonet-like connection between the emergency opening component and the support housing.

[0041] Furthermore, the modular unit may specify the provision of a guide mechanism, particularly in the form of a channel, on the support housing for the spring element. This guide mechanism guides the spring element when the spring force is unloaded, causing the emergency opening component to move from the rest position to the working position. This allows for stable spring rebound, driving the emergency opening component from the rest position to the working position.

[0042] Furthermore, it is particularly conceivable that the guide mechanism for the spring element could be inserted into the guide mechanism for the emergency opening element. In this way, the spring travel can be extended sufficiently to enter the guide mechanism for the emergency opening element.

[0043] Advantageously, at least one spring guide, preferably in the form of a groove or support rib, can be provided on the support housing, particularly in the guide mechanism for the spring element, so as to position the spring element on the emergency opening element in the rest position. In this way, the spring element can be prevented from slipping off the emergency opening element.

[0044] It is also conceivable to provide a shield (also called a cover) on the support housing in order to accommodate the redundant length of the tension member and / or at least partially cover the elements of the modular assembly.

[0045] It can also be specified in the modular unit that the triggering device for the emergency opening component has a drive device that is preferably in the form of an electric motor, especially an electromechanical, electromagnetic, pneumatic and / or hydraulic type, so as to automatically move the emergency opening component from the rest position to the working position, especially in the event of an accident.

[0046] The triggering device may have a particularly translational drive element for acting on a stop element, particularly loaded with spring force, on the support housing or directly on an emergency opening element, to release the emergency opening element to move from the rest position to the working position, particularly by means of a spring element.

[0047] The triggering device may, in particular, have an ice-breaking element on the translationally movable drive member, which preferably cooperates with a mating edge on the emergency opening member to provide anti-icing. The ice-breaking element can move the emergency opening member into the working position such that the ice layer between the emergency opening member and the receiving hole in the guide mechanism within the support housing can be removed and the triggering device can operate the emergency opening member.

[0048] This task is also accomplished by a method for operating the movable parts of a vehicle using modular components that can be designed as described above, the method comprising the following steps: - Especially in the event of an accident, the emergency opening mechanism is automatically moved from the rest position to the working position via a triggering device, and / or - Especially in the event of a power outage, the emergency opening component can be manually moved from the rest position to the working position by the user applying force.

[0049] By using the method of the present invention, the same advantages as those described above regarding the modular components of the present invention can be obtained. These advantages are referred to in their entirety herein.

[0050] Advantageously, the method may specify that, after the emergency opening element has been used to operate the movable part, the method specifies at least one further step: - Manually move the emergency opening component from the working position to the rest position.

[0051] This method allows the emergency opening mechanism to be used multiple times to operate the movable part.

[0052] Another method stipulates that when the emergency opening component automatically moves from the rest position to the working position, especially in the event of an accident, the emergency opening component undergoes a essentially translational movement. In this way, the emergency opening component can be moved from the rest position to the working position with minimal friction.

[0053] Another method specifies that when the emergency opening component is manually moved from the rest position to the working position, especially in the event of a power failure, the user presses the emergency opening component in the opposite direction to the working position, causing the emergency opening component to be axially displaced from the rest position to the release position, and automatically rotated by the axial displacement. This allows the emergency opening component to be moved from the rest position to the working position with a simple press from the user.

[0054] Another method may specify that when the emergency opening element is manually moved from the working position to the rest position after the emergency opening element has been used to operate the movable part, the emergency opening element undergoes a substantially translational movement. This allows the emergency opening element to move from the working position to the rest position with minimal friction as it resets on the support housing.

[0055] Advantageously, the pulling member can be pulled at least partially out of the guide slot on the emergency opening member in order to pull it out of its working position. In this way, the emergency opening member can be easily grasped in a manner similar to a bottle opener.

[0056] It may also be advantageous that the pulling member can be inserted into the guide slot (28) on the emergency opening member in order to manually move the emergency opening member from the working position to the rest position. In this way, the emergency opening member can be easily moved into the cylindrical guide mechanism on the support housing without being obstructed by the pulling member. Attached Figure Description

[0058] In the following figures, the same reference numerals are used for the same technical features even with respect to different embodiments. Generally, reference numerals are described only once with respect to the same embodiment.

[0059] Figure 1-8 and Figure 11-16 Modular components 100 for movable parts 201 of vehicle 202, such as doors or covers of vehicle 200, are shown respectively. Vehicle 200 as a whole is not shown in the figures for simplicity only. The modular components 100 are preferably configured to be applied to fixed handles and / or handrail grooves 14 for movable parts 201 of vehicle 200. The handrail grooves 14 may be formed within the support housing 10, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown. Within the scope of this invention, it is generally possible to mount the modular component 100 on the movable part 201 or a member of the vehicle 200 adjacent to the movable part 201. The modular component 100 is preferably used to operate the movable part 201, including locking, unlocking, opening, and / or closing the movable part 201. In an emergency, the modular component 100 is preferably used to open the movable part 201.

[0060] like Figure 1-16 Specifically, the modular component 100 has the following elements: - Also known as a mounting bracket, the support housing 10 is used to fix the modular assembly 100 to the movable part 201 of the vehicle 200 and to support the movable emergency opening member 20. - Emergency opening component 20, for emergency operation of the movable part 201 of vehicle 200 in the event of an accident or power failure. The emergency opening mechanism 20 includes a pulling member 27 for operating the lock 202 of the movable part 201 to specifically open the movable part 201. The emergency opening component 20 can move between at least two positions I and II, namely: Rest position I (see, for example) Figure 1 (as shown in the diagram), in this rest position I, the emergency opening component 20 is supported on the support housing 10, and... Work location II (see, for example) Figure 1 (As shown by the dotted line in the diagram), in this working position II, the emergency opening element 20 can be operated by the user to operate the lock 202 by pulling the pull element 27, and - A triggering device 30 for the emergency opening component 20, used to automatically move the emergency opening component 20 from the rest position I to the working position II, especially in the event of an accident.

[0061] According to the present invention, the emergency opening element 20 is designed to be moved from the rest position I to the working position II by manual force applied by the user, especially in the event of a power outage or in the event of an electrical and / or electronic failure in the vehicle 200, particularly including electronic device failure, power supply failure and / or sensor failure.

[0062] Therefore, the user can first press the emergency opening mechanism 20 to move the emergency opening mechanism 20 from the rest position I (see, for example, see...). Figure 6 Move to release position 0 (for example, see...) Figure 7 In release position 0, the emergency opening member 20 can be released by the stop member 11 and driven to working position II by the action of the pre-tensioned spring member 40.

[0063] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 , Figure 13a as well as Figure 14-16 As shown, the emergency opening member 20 in the rest position I is supported on the support housing 10 by a form-fit and / or force-fit connection, particularly a locking connection 11, 21. The locking connection is preferably established between the emergency opening member 20 and the support housing 10, particularly between the locking protrusion 21 on the emergency opening member 20 and the stop member 11 on the support housing 10.

[0064] like Figure 4-7 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 as well as Figure 13a and 13b As shown, the emergency opening member 20 can be separated from the form-fitting and / or force-fitting connections, especially the locking connections 11 and 21, of the support housing 10 via the bayonet connections 17 and 22, so that the emergency opening member 20 can be moved from the rest position I to the working position II, especially by means of the spring member 40.

[0065] like Figure 12 and Figure 13c As shown, the emergency opening member 20 can be disengaged from the form-fitting and / or force-fitting connection with the support housing 10, especially the locking connections 11, 21, by the triggering device 30, so that the emergency opening member 20 can be moved from the rest position I to the working position II, especially by means of the spring member 40.

[0066] Such as at least Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the emergency opening component 20 can be designed to be essentially cylindrical.

[0067] Such as at least Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the emergency opening component 20 can be accommodated along its longitudinal axis in a complementary cylindrical guide mechanism F1 on the support housing 10. A bayonet connection 17, 22 is established between the cylindrical emergency opening component 20 and the cylindrical guide mechanism F1 within the support housing 10.

[0068] To secure the emergency opening element 20 within the support housing 10, the emergency opening element 20 can be simply moved into the guide mechanism F1 on the support housing 10 until a locking element on the emergency opening element 20, for example in the form of a locking protrusion 21, engages with the corresponding stop 11, preferably a form-fit engagement and / or a force-transmitting engagement, such as at least Figure 4 and Figure 5 as well as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown.

[0069] To release the locking connections 11, 21, bayonet connections 17, 22 can be advantageously employed, which allow the emergency opening member 20 to rotate when pressed, just as at least Figure 6 and 7 As shown, rotation of the emergency opening member 20 causes the locking protrusion 21 on the emergency opening member 20 to rotate and disengage from its engagement with the corresponding stop 11 on the support housing 10, until the stop 11 is pushed up and laterally abuts against the emergency opening member 20. After the locking connections 21, 11 have been disengaged, the emergency opening member 20 can be driven from the rest position I to the working position II by means of the pre-tensioned spring 40.

[0070] In other words, the emergency opening component 20 is accessed by the user along such a path. Figure 6 The press, indicated by the arrow, moves the object from rest position I to the position indicated by the arrow. Figure 7 Release position 0. Based on Figure 7 The release position 0 of the emergency opening member 20 can cancel the form fit and / or force transmission fit between the emergency opening member 20 and the support housing 10, especially the locking connections 11 and 21, so that the emergency opening member 20 can be moved into the working position II by the pre-tightened spring member 40.

[0071] When the locking connection 11, 21 between the emergency opening member 20 and the support housing 10 has been cancelled, the stop member 11 can abut against the emergency opening member 20. Figure 10 or Figure 13b The support surface 21b seen in the image.

[0072] By the user along the opposite direction from working position II (see...) Figure 6 (As indicated by the arrow in the image) Pressing the emergency opening member 20 allows it to move axially from the rest position I to the release position O and be automatically rotated due to the axial displacement. The rotation of the emergency opening member 20 disengages it from the locking connections 11, 21 with the support housing 10.

[0073] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9-12 and Figure 13a-16 As shown, the emergency opening member 20 may have a locking member, in particular integral, uniform material and / or one-piece formed, for example in the form of a locking protrusion 21, which can cooperate with a stop member 11, particularly spring-loaded, on the support housing 10 in the rest position I of the emergency opening member 20.

[0074] Complementing the shape of the locking protrusion 21 on the emergency opening member 20, a stop member 11, especially spring-loaded, can be provided on the support housing 10 so that the emergency opening member 20 is supported on the support housing 10 in the rest position I, especially in a form-fitting and / or force-transmitting manner.

[0075] The stop 11 can be fixed to the support housing 10 by means of, for example, a screw-shaped fastener 10a.

[0076] When a locking connection 11, 21 is established between the emergency opening member 20 and the support housing 10, especially between the locking protrusion 21 on the emergency opening member 20 and the stop member 11 on the support housing 10, the stop member 11 can abut against the emergency opening member 20. Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 13a , Figure 13c and Figure 14-16 The support surface 21a is shown.

[0077] according to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The stop 11 can be formed, for example, by a spring sheet. In this way, the stop 11 itself can have spring-like elastic properties or function as a leaf spring.

[0078] Figures 13a-13c The stop 11 is shown as a two-piece element having a pawl 11a and a return spring 11b.

[0079] Other possible designs for stop 11 are as follows: Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 The examples are shown in a non-exhaustive manner.

[0080] Figure 13a The emergency opening member 20 is shown in rest position I, in which it is locked by the stop member 11. Figure 13b The emergency opening member 20 is shown in release position 0, in which it is disengaged from the stop member 11. Figure 13c The emergency opening member 20 is shown in rest position I, in which the emergency opening member 20 is released by the triggering device 30 pushing up the stop member 11.

[0081] Such as at least Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the emergency opening component 20 may have a control groove 22 that is integrally formed, which connects with the control cam 17 in the guide mechanism F1 on the support housing 10 (e.g., in...). Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5(As can be seen in the image) they work together to convert the axial displacement of the emergency opening member 20 from the rest position I to the release position 0 when the user presses the emergency opening member 20 in the direction opposite to the working position II into rotational motion. The control groove 22 on the emergency opening member 20 and the control cam 17 in the guide mechanism F1 on the support housing 10 together form a bayonet connection 17, 22.

[0082] exist Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As can be seen in the illustration, the control slide 22 may have a control rib 22a that is particularly inclined to the axial extension relative to the emergency opening member 20, so as to rotate the emergency opening member 20 by the axial displacement of the emergency opening member 20 from the rest position I to the release position O when the user presses the emergency opening member 20 in the direction opposite to the working position II.

[0083] Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 It is also shown that the control slide 22 may have a guide rib 22b that is particularly inclined relative to the axial extension of the emergency opening member 20 so as to rotate the emergency opening member 20 in a manner that returns to the initial rotational orientation when it is moved from the release position 0 to the working position II.

[0084] For example Figure 5-7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, an actuation unit 22.1 can be provided in the control slide 22. The actuation unit 22.1 can be formed between the control rib 22a and the return rib 22b. The actuation unit 22.1 can be advantageously used to release the bayonet connections 17 and 22.

[0085] For example Figure 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, a mounting part 22.2 can be provided in the control slide 22. The mounting part 22.2 can be advantageously used to adjust the orientation of the control cam 17 when establishing a form fit and / or force fit connection between the emergency opening member 20 and the support housing 10, especially when locking the connection 11, 21.

[0086] Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12It is also shown that the control groove 22 may have a particularly funnel-shaped access area 22.3 to receive the control cam 17 in the guide mechanism F1 on the support housing 10 and advantageously accommodate the emergency opening member 20 in the guide mechanism F1 on the support housing 10 according to the correct rotational orientation. Thus, after the emergency opening member 20 has been used to operate the movable part 201, the emergency opening member 20 may again be accommodated in the guide mechanism F1 on the support housing 10. The emergency opening member 20 accommodated in the guide mechanism F1 may be moved into the guide mechanism F1 to a sufficient extent to re-establish the form-fit and / or force-fit connection, especially the locking connection 11, 21, between the emergency opening member 20 and the support housing 10. For this purpose, the stop 11 on the support housing 10 may be lifted by the emergency opening member 20 and engaged with or after engaging with the locking member 21 on the emergency opening member 20, so as to support and hold the emergency opening member 20 on the support housing 10 in the rest position I.

[0087] Advantageously, the length and / or slope of the control rib 22a can be adjusted according to (according to certain structural space requirements at the movable part 201) the feasible moving distance W for pressing the emergency opening member 20 and / or the possible rotation angle V of the emergency opening member 20 for releasing the bayonet connection 17, 22 with the support housing 10.

[0088] For example, it can be conceivable that the preferred travel distance W for pressing the emergency opening member 20, particularly from the rest position to the release position, can be adjusted to approximately 5 mm. Additionally, the rotation angle V of the emergency opening member 20 for releasing the bayonet connections 17, 22 with the support housing 10 can be adjusted, for example, between 30° and 45°.

[0089] like Figure 6 For example, the emergency opening member 20 can be positioned on the support housing 10 in the rest position I such that the emergency opening member 20 protrudes from the receiving hole 15 in the guide mechanism F1 within the support housing 10 by a distance d between 2 and 4 mm, particularly 3 mm, and thus into the handle groove 14 on the support housing 10. In this way, the emergency opening member 20 can be easily accessed within the handle groove 14. Furthermore, this extends the travel distance of the emergency opening member 20 from the rest position I to the release position O.

[0090] like Figure 7 As shown, the emergency opening member 20 can be positioned on the support housing 10 in the release position 0 such that the emergency opening member 20 can be inserted into the receiving hole 15 in the guide mechanism F1 within the support housing 10 at a depth t between 1 and 3 mm, especially 2 mm, to provide the travel distance required for the emergency opening member 20 to be moved from the rest position 1 to the release position 0.

[0091] Such as at least Figure 13a-16 As schematically shown, a stop 16 can be provided in the guide mechanism F1 within the support housing 10 for the emergency opening member 20. This stop marks the release position O of the emergency opening member 20 for disengaging from the form-fitting and / or force-fitting connections with the support housing 10, particularly the locking connections 11, 21, and provides tactile feedback to the user. The tactile feedback signals to the user that the locking connections 11, 21 have been disengaged and the user can release their grip, allowing the emergency opening member 20 to now be moved out without user assistance using the pre-tensioned spring 40. Instead of or as a supplement to the stop 16, force amplification or reduction, or a clicking sound, can be specified.

[0092] like Figure 1-16 As shown, the emergency opening element 20 may have a particularly convex end face 24 to direct the user's force to the center of the end face 24. It is also conceivable that the emergency opening element 20 may have a rough surface on one end face 24 to prevent the user's finger from slipping when pressing the emergency opening element 20.

[0093] like Figure 10 As shown, the emergency opening member 20 may have a guide slot 28, particularly integrally formed, for the pulling member 27, to separably fix the pulling member 27 to the emergency opening member 20, for example, by form-fitting and / or force-fitting. The pulling member 27 may have a fixing cylinder 27a, which can be movably, for example, rotatably disposed within a particularly cylindrical cavity 28a within the emergency opening member 20. It is conceivable that the guide slot 28 may be designed to be substantially L-shaped and preferably open into the cavity 28a. Thus, the pulling member 27 can be separably fixed to the emergency opening member 20, particularly by form-fitting and / or force-fitting. It is also possible that, in order to pull the pulling member 27 in the working position II of the emergency opening member 20, the pulling member 27 can be at least partially disengaged from the guide slot 28 on the emergency opening member 20, such as... Figure 1 As shown. In order to manually move the emergency opening component 20 from the working position II to the resting position I, the pulling component 27 can be inserted into the guide slot 28 on the emergency opening component 20.

[0094] The pulling member 27 can be designed, for example, in the form of a pull rope, such as a fiber-reinforced plastic rope or a chain. The pulling member 27 can transmit a force of about 1000 Newtons to the lock 202 to operate the lock 202 and thus open the movable part 201.

[0095] Such as at least Figure 4 and Figure 5 as well as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the pulling member 27 can be effectively connected to the Bowden pull line 25 via the lever motion mechanism 25 to operate the lock 202.

[0096] As described above and as at least Figure 3-8 and Figure 11-16 As shown, the emergency opening member 20 can preferably be pressed from the rest position I to the working position II by the spring force of the spring member 40, which is supported on the support housing 10. Figure 3-8 and Figure 11-16 As shown, spring 40 can be designed as a helical torsion spring. Alternatively, spring 40 can be designed as a compression spring, for example.

[0097] exist Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 For example, it is shown that the spring member 40 may have a spring arm 41, which can abut against the emergency opening member 20 under the spring force in the rest position I of the emergency opening member 20.

[0098] A special, for example, curved contact portion 41b may be provided at the end of the spring arm 41 for abutting against one end of the emergency opening member 20 (see...). Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 ).

[0099] The spring arm 41 may also have at least one bend 41a to increase the effective leverage ratio of the spring 40 acting on the emergency opening member 20 when moving from the rest position I to the working position II, and to extend the operating distance of the emergency opening member 20 from the rest position I to the working position II.

[0100] In addition, at least Figure 3 and Figure 4 The spring member 40 is shown to have a support arm 42, which can be supported at the stop member 12 on the support housing 10. In this way, the spring member 40 can be easily pre-tensioned.

[0101] In addition, at least Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the spring element 40 may have a helically wound spring core 43, which may be mounted on the spring dome 13 on the support housing 10.

[0102] Such as at least Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a guide mechanism F1, which is particularly cylindrical, for the emergency opening member 20 can be provided on the support housing 10, especially between the support housing 10 and the shield member 19, so as to guide the emergency opening member 20 when it moves from the rest position I to the release position 0 and from the release position 0 to the working position II.

[0103] Figure 8It is also shown that a particularly perforated guide mechanism F2 for the spring member 40 may be provided on the support housing 10, especially between the support housing 10 and the shield member 19, so as to guide the spring member 40 when the spring force is unloaded and the emergency opening member 20 is moved from the rest position I to the working position II.

[0104] like Figure 8 It is also shown that the guide mechanism F2 for the spring member 40 can pass through the guide mechanism F1 for the emergency opening member 20. In this way, the spring travel can be extended sufficiently to allow it to enter the guide mechanism F1 for the emergency opening member 20.

[0105] As also shown in the figure, at least one spring guide 18, such as a support rib, may be provided on the support housing 10, particularly in the guide mechanism F2 for the spring member 40, to prevent the spring member 40 from slipping off the emergency opening member 20.

[0106] like Figure 3 As shown, a shield 19, or in other words a cover, may be provided on the support housing 10 to accommodate, in particular, the redundant length of the tension member 27 and / or at least partially cover and / or seal the elements of the modular assembly 100.

[0107] At least Figure 3 and Figure 4 as well as Figure 11 and Figure 12 It is also shown that the triggering device 30 for the emergency opening member 20 may have a drive device 31, for example in the form of an electric motor, for causing the drive member 32 to move in particular translational motion.

[0108] Furthermore, the triggering device 30 may have a particularly translational drive 32 for acting on the stop 11 on the support housing 10 or directly on the emergency opening member 20 (see...). Figure 16 (Examples from the text).

[0109] Advantageously, an icebreaker 33 can be formed in the drive element 32 (see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 11-16 Preferably, it cooperates with the mating edge 23 on the emergency opening member 20 to provide anti-icing protection. The ice-breaking member 33 can first push the emergency opening member 20 to the working position II when the drive member 32 is lifted by the drive device 31, that is, the ice layer between the emergency opening member 20 and the receiving hole 15 in the guide mechanism F1 within the support housing 10 can be broken, and the triggering device 30 can operate the emergency opening member 20. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 You can see the edge 23 in the middle.

[0110] Several figures also show a key unit 50 and an electronic device unit 60, which can be used to make the modular component 100 of the present invention compatible with locking systems such as keyless entry systems or keyless start systems. According to two alternatives, corresponding sensors for presence detection, such as capacitive sensors, and / or sensors for activation behavior detection, such as inductive sensors, are provided within the modular component 100 by means of the key unit 50 and the electronic device unit 60. The electronic device unit 60 can also control the corresponding locking system and communicate with vehicle safety systems.

[0111] The above description of the embodiments is merely an example to illustrate the present invention. Clearly, the various features of the embodiments can be freely combined with each other as long as they are technically meaningful, without exceeding the scope of the present invention.
