Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a device for moving a cover plate of a vehicle roof and also to a vehicle roof having such a device. Background Art

[0002] Such devices for vehicle roofs are well known, so that, in order to start opening from a closed position closing the roof opening, the cover can first be raised in its rear region using an opening mechanism and then displaced backwards into the open position. In this regard, DE 100 23 314 C1 describes, for example, a so-called externally guided sliding roof. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to specify a device for moving a cover panel of a vehicle roof and a vehicle roof which is able to provide reliable operation.

[0004] According to a first aspect, the invention discloses a device for moving a cover plate for a vehicle roof having a top opening. In order to open the cover plate from a closed position in which the cover plate closes the top opening, an opening mechanism can be used to open the cover plate in its rear edge area to a ventilation position and then put it into an open position. The opening mechanism has a guide rail, which extends longitudinally in a longitudinal direction X. The opening mechanism has a slide, which can be displaced in the guide rail in the longitudinal direction X, wherein the slide is coupled to the cover plate to move the cover plate. The opening mechanism has a movable control rod for controlling the movement of the cover plate. The movable control rod is supported on the slide and the guide rail so that it is guided in a movable manner on the slide and guided in a movable manner on the guide rail, as viewed relative to a transverse direction Y extending transversely to the longitudinal direction X.

[0005] The control lever is for example a front or rear opening lever, preferably a control rod, a locking rod or a locking rod. The control lever is designed to be movable, i.e. pivotable and / or movable relative to a guide rail, which can be considered to be fixed in place.

[0006] The invention provides that the control rod is supported on both sides, i.e. on opposite sides when viewed with respect to the transverse direction Y. As a result, even during the relative movement between the control rod and the guide rail and / or the carriage, it is mechanically guided between the guide rail and the carriage. The lateral support enables a slender design of the control rod, in particular in the area where the two-sided support is provided. A slender design, such as relatively thin walls, a narrow, flat design, etc., can result in considerable savings in terms of installation space. The lateral support ensures that, despite the slender design of the control rod, the latter can still withstand the loads during operation. In particular, this helps to prevent the control rod from buckling, for example in the presence of so-called block loads. In other words, the support consists of the support structure or the support geometry of the control rod.

[0007] In particular, the carriage is a drive carriage.The carriage is displaced forwards or backwards in the longitudinal direction X in order to move the cover from the closed position to the fully open position.

[0008] Particularly, the control rod is in direct contact with the guide rail and the support frame to be supported.

[0009] According to at least one further embodiment, the control rod is guided between the guide rail and the carriage in a form-fitting manner, viewed in the transverse direction. The form-fitting allows for sliding between the control rod and the guide rail or between the control rod and the carriage. However, the nature of the form-fitting does not constitute a force fit or cause excessive play, which could, for example, result in rattles and thus produce undesirable noise. A preferred approach is to describe the form fit as a coupling similar to a transition fit. In other words, tolerance compensation is achieved by "soft" mounting the (entire) mechanism in the guide rail. The mechanism, for example the control rod and / or the carriage, for example, slides on a soft slide with a rubber insert.

[0010] According to at least one further embodiment, the control rod is supported on the guide rail and the carriage at each stage of movement of the cover. Thus, this ensures that the above-mentioned support and the associated advantages and functions are obtained at each stage of operation.

[0011] According to at least one further embodiment, the control rod has one or more sliding surfaces for guiding on the carriage on a first side facing the carriage. Furthermore, the control rod has one or more sliding surfaces for guiding on the guide rail on a second side facing the guide rail. This results in a sliding friction between the contact of the control rod / guide rail or control rod / slideway. This makes the above-mentioned advantages and functions possible.

[0012] According to at least one further embodiment, at least one sliding surface has one or more recesses. For example, material accumulation can be prevented thereby. The recesses can be used optionally such as oil reservoirs in order to lubricate the appropriate sliding areas.

[0013] According to at least one other embodiment, the control rod is supported on the carriage and the guide rail at the rear end region of the control rod. This means that the control rod is not supported accordingly in its entire length or extension scale, particularly when the control rod is otherwise mounted on its other front end, this is possible. The sliding surface or contact surface associated with the guide rail and / or the carriage does not have to be formed, particularly in the central part of the control rod. This makes it possible to configure economically and efficiently. In addition, the control rod can be freely configured away from this area of ​​the rear end. It should be noted here that the rear end and the front end of the control rod can also be understood as the upper end or the lower end, or generally speaking, the first end and the second end.

[0014] According to at least one further embodiment, the control lever has a support structure, which is provided with a plastic overmolding for support on the carriage and the guide rail. In particular, the support structure is a metal element, for example a steel component. For example, the control lever is in principle designed in the form of a metal component (for example a steel component), and the plastic overmolding is located in the rear area. For example, in the area of ​​the two-sided support, the control lever is designed in the form of a plastic component with a steel insert. Due to the material pairing between the plastic overmolding and the carriage (usually made of metal) and / or the guide rail (usually made of metal), this makes particularly good sliding properties possible. It also helps to keep the development of noise at a particularly low level. In contrast, for example, the carriage is a plastic component.

[0015] According to at least one further embodiment, the control rod is designed in the form of a control rod and is coupled to the carriage to control the cover plate. This results in the movement of the carriage being indirectly transmitted to the cover plate via the control rod. When the control rod is designed in the form of a control rod, the above advantages and functions are particularly evident.

[0016] According to at least one further embodiment, the guide rail has a guide path for guiding the carriage and the control rod. For example, the carriage has a control slide for being guided in the guide rail. The control rod also has a control slide. For example, the guide path is a common guide path for the carriage and the control rod, in particular during the movement phases of the cover, during which the carriage and the control rod are locked relative to each other and move together in the longitudinal direction X.

[0017] According to at least one further embodiment, the carriage has a control track and the control lever has a projection, by means of which the control lever engages with the control track. The control track is designed such that, in the closed position of the cover, the control lever and the carriage can freely move relative to each other in the longitudinal direction, and starting from the closed position of the cover, when the carriage is displaced in the longitudinal direction, the projection can engage with the control track, thereby preventing a relative movement between the control lever and the carriage.

[0018] In particular, the lever and the carriage are continuously engaged by means of a track, wherein the relative movement between the lever and the carriage is blocked and released according to the profile of the track. In particular, in the open position of the cover, the relative movement between the lever and the carriage is blocked, so that a displacement of the carriage displaces the cover in the longitudinal direction X. Thus, initially a ventilation position of the cover can be set, in which the lever does not move the cover in the longitudinal direction X. As the movement proceeds, the cover can be moved in the longitudinal direction X, when the lever and the carriage are locked relative to each other in the longitudinal direction X.

[0019] According to at least one further embodiment, the guide rail has a fixed position locking track for the control lever, wherein the control lever has a control slide for engaging the locking track. The locking track is designed such that, in the closed position of the cover, the control lever is in a locking position, thereby blocking a movement of the cover in the longitudinal direction X. Starting from the closed position, when the carriage is displaced in the longitudinal direction X, the control lever can be guided from the locking position to the unlocking position by the rear opening lever, thereby allowing free movement of the cover in the longitudinal direction.

[0020] As mentioned above, control slide and projection are particularly arranged at the rear end (first end) of control rod.In addition, the arrangement of control slide and projection makes depart from each other, particularly observes the opposite sides of control rod with respect to transverse direction Y.

[0021] The locking track is fixed in place and its profile consists essentially of two parts. The first part is inclined or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X, i.e. extends in the vertical direction or Z direction. If the control slide is located in the first part (especially at the end of the profile part), the control slide is in the locked position. The displacement of the carriage transfers the control slide from the first part to the second part, which extends essentially horizontally in the longitudinal direction X. The second part can be the guide path mentioned above, or it can merge seamlessly into the same path. The movement of the control rod in the longitudinal direction X is then released, in which case the control rod is fixed to the carriage and therefore moves in the longitudinal direction X through the carriage.

[0022] The locking rail as part of the guide rail serves as a sliding fit for the control rod, that is to say, for the support of the control rod, in particular the control slide. During the opening operation of the cover, starting from the closed position, the control rod is first supported on the control rail, i.e. on its wall, and then on the guide rail in the region of the above-mentioned guide path for the slide or the control rod.

[0023] According to at least one further embodiment, the device has a front opening rod and a rear opening rod, wherein the rear opening rod engages with the slide so that when the slide is displaced, the opening movement of the cover plate can be controlled into the ventilation position, and the control rod is coupled to both the front opening rod and the slide.

[0024] According to a second aspect, the invention discloses a roof for a vehicle having a device according to one of the above-described embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Further advantages, features and developments can be obtained from the following examples explained in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. For example, similar and identically functioning elements may be provided with the same reference numerals throughout the accompanying drawings. In the drawings:

[0026] Figure 1shows a schematic diagram of a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment;

[0027] Figures 2 to 4 A schematic diagram showing various operating states of an opening mechanism according to an exemplary embodiment; and

[0028] Figures 5 to 16 Schematic diagrams showing various particular detail views of an opening mechanism according to an exemplary embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] Figure 1 A vehicle 100, in particular a motor vehicle, is shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The vehicle 100 has a roof 101. A cover plate 103 is arranged on the roof 101. The cover plate 103 is movable, for example relative to the rest of the roof 101. Thus, a top opening 102 can be closed by the cover plate 103 or partially exposed.

[0030] The vehicle has a windshield 104. The cover plate 103 has a front edge 105 which, in the operating state, faces the windshield 104. A rear edge 106 of the cover plate 103, viewed relative to the longitudinal direction X, faces away from the windshield 104.

[0031] The movement of the cover 103 is achieved by the opening mechanism 108 ( Figure 2 and Figure 3 ). For example, the opening mechanism 108 has a guide rail 107, which is connected to the roof 101. For example, a drive cable is guided in the guide rail 107. For example, the drive cable contacts the drive motor and other components of the opening mechanism 108 in order to move the cover plate 103 relative to the rest of the roof 101.

[0032] For example, the opening mechanism 108 is designed as a so-called externally guided sliding roof. During operation, the rear opening lever 110 assigned to the rear edge 106 is displaced together with the cover 103 in the opening direction relative to the rest of the roof. For example, the situation may be different in the case of a so-called spoiler roof, in which the cover is displaced relative to the rear opening lever for opening purposes.

[0033] Information given about positions or directions, such as backward or forward, upward or downward, left or right, vertical or horizontal, refers to the longitudinal axis of the operating vehicle 100 and the usual direction of travel. The longitudinal axis of the vehicle is a horizontal axis and can be referred to as the X-axis or the longitudinal direction X. The transverse axis of the vehicle is also a horizontal axis and can be referred to as the Y-axis or the transverse direction Y. The vertical axis of the vehicle extends vertically and can also be referred to as the Z-axis or the vertical direction Z. The vertical direction Z, the transverse direction Y and the longitudinal direction X form a Cartesian coordinate system and are oriented perpendicular to each other, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0034] The opening mechanism 108 is particularly arranged on both sides of the top opening 102, and the two mechanisms are of the same type. Therefore, the following text will only describe the mechanism on one side, and the description, characteristics, functions and advantages are also applicable to the other side accordingly.

[0035] Figures 2 to 4 An opening mechanism 108 is shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 The opening mechanism 108 is shown in a closed position of the cover 103 . Figure 3 The opening mechanism 108 is shown in a position in which the cover plate 103 is opened at the rear edge 106 in the Z direction (ventilation position) but is not displaced in the X direction. Figure 4 The opening mechanism 108 is shown in the open position of the cover 103. It should be noted here that the cover 103 is Figures 2 to 4 However, these figures do show a cover plate support 111 which is fixed to the cover plate 103 to move the cover plate. The movement of the cover plate support 111 corresponds to the movement of the cover plate 103.

[0036] The opening mechanism 108 has a front opening rod 109. During operation, the front opening rod 109 is arranged on the front edge 105 of the cover plate 103. During operation, the rear opening rod 110 is arranged on the rear edge 106 of the cover plate 103. The rear edge 106 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction Z by the rear opening rod 110. The front edge 105 of the cover plate 103 can be raised and lowered by the front opening rod 109. In addition, the cover plate 103 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction X by the two opening rods 109 and 110.

[0037] The front opening lever 109 is coupled to the rear opening lever 110 via a control rod 150 , which corresponds to a control rod in this application.

[0038] The control rod 150 extends longitudinally in the X direction. At the front end 154, the control rod is pivotably connected to the front opening lever 109 so that the front opening lever 109 can be rotated relative to the control rod 150.

[0039] At the rear end 153, the control rod 150 is connected to the carriage 120. The carriage 120 is in turn coupled to the rear opening rod 110. Therefore, the rear opening rod 110 and the control rod 150 are indirectly connected through the carriage 120.

[0040] The carriage 120 is held and guided in a movable manner in the guide rail 107. The carriage 120 is displaceable relative to the guide rail 107 in the longitudinal direction X to drive the movement of the cover 103. Therefore, the carriage 120 can also be called a drive carriage. The carriage 120 is particularly arranged at the rear edge 106 of the cover 103 or the rear area of ​​the cover 103.

[0041] Figure 5 and Figure 6 A carriage 120 and a rear opening lever 110 are shown according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0042] The carriage 120 extends longer in the longitudinal direction X than in the transverse direction Y and the vertical direction Z. The carriage 120 is guided in the guide rail 107 by carriage slides 125 . For example, the carriage slides 125 are arranged at the front end of the carriage 120 and at the rear end of the carriage 120 .

[0043] The carriage 120 has a control rail 131. The control rail 131 is used to couple the carriage 120 to the control rod 150.

[0044] The carriage 120 has an opening track 121. The opening track 121 is used to couple the carriage 120 to the rear opening lever 110. The opening track 121 has a profile which, when viewed in the longitudinal direction X, is first inclined, then extends straight without inclination, and then is inclined again. This makes it possible to control the movement of the rear opening lever 110, which movement will not be discussed in detail.

[0045] The opening rail 121 is arranged on a first side 122 of the carriage. The control rail 131 is arranged on an opposite second side of the carriage 123. The two sides 122, 123 are arranged opposite to each other along the transverse direction Y and extend substantially parallel to the XZ plane. A partition wall 124 of the carriage 120 is formed between the control rail 131 and the opening rail 121.

[0046] Therefore, the carriage 120 is designed to engage with the rear opening lever 110 on one side 122 and to engage with the control rod 150 on the other side 123 .

[0047] Therefore, the displacement of the carriage 120 relative to the guide rail 107 can cause the movement of the rear opening lever 110 and the movement of the control rod 150. The carriage 120 has a cable connection portion 126. The carriage 120 can be connected to a drive cable through the cable connection portion 126, so that the driving power of the motor can be transmitted to the carriage 120.

[0048] For example, from Figures 7 to 9 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , the control rod 150 has a control slider 151 and a protrusion 152 at a first end 153. The control slider 151 and the protrusion 152 protrude in the Y direction, although in opposite directions.

[0049] The projection 152 is designed to engage with the control rail 131 of the carriage 120. By means of the projection 152 engaging with the control rail 131, the first end 153 of the control rod 150 can be moved in the vertical direction Z. Thus, the control rod 150 can be moved between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the control rod 150 is locked, for example, in the longitudinal direction X relative to the guide rail 107. In the second state, the control rod 150 is displaceable, in particular together with the carriage 120, for example in the longitudinal direction X relative to the guide rail 107. This displacement is caused in particular by the projection 152 coupled in the control rail 131. Thus, the drive movement of the carriage 120 can be transmitted to the front opening lever 109 via the control rod 150.

[0050] The control track 131 has a first contour portion 132 which is substantially straight (see Figure 6 ). When the protrusion 152 is arranged in the first profile portion 132, the carriage 120 is movable relative to the control rod 150 in the longitudinal direction X. In other words, if the carriage 120 is displaced in the longitudinal direction X, the control rod 150 does not move in the longitudinal direction X.

[0051] The control rail 131 has a second profile portion 133 , which extends substantially in the vertical direction Z. When the protrusion 152 is arranged in this region, the carriage 120 is coupled to the control rod 150 due to the displacement of the carriage 120 relative to the control rod 150 , and the movement of the carriage 120 relative to the guide rail 107 in the longitudinal direction X is transmitted to the control rod 150 .

[0052] like Figures 10 to 14 As shown, the control slide 151 interacts with the locking track 174 of the guide rail 107 .

[0053] The guide rail 107 has a guide path 171 for the carriage 125. The guide path 171 extends substantially in the longitudinal direction X.

[0054] The locking track 174 extends in an inclined manner relative to the guide path 171 , substantially in a vertical direction Z. Starting from the guide path 171 , the locking track 174 extends in an upwardly inclined manner.

[0055] When the control slide 151 is arranged in the locking track 174, in particular, in the upper region of the locking track 174, the control rod 150 is locked relative to the guide rail 107 along the longitudinal direction X ( Fig.12 ).

[0056] By means of the protrusion 152 engaging with the control track 131, the movement of the control slide 151 along the locking track 174 can be driven when the carriage 120 is displaced. Thus, for example, the control slide 151 can be introduced into the locking track 174 or decoupled from the locking track 174.

[0057] When the control slider 151 is guided out of the locking track 174 and arranged in the guide path 171, the control rod 150 can be displaced relative to the guide rail 107 in the longitudinal direction X. In this state, the carriage 120 and the control rod 150 are locked to each other, so that the relative movement between the carriage 120 and the control rod 150 in the longitudinal direction X is prevented.

[0058] The guide path 171 has, for example, a first portion 172 and a second portion 173. The first portion 172 is arranged in the front region, viewed in the longitudinal direction X. The second portion 173 is arranged in the rear region, viewed in the longitudinal direction X. Only the carriage slide 125 is guided in the first portion 172. The control slide 151 is not guided in the first portion 172. Both the control slide 151 and the carriage slide 125 are guided in the second portion 173. In the second portion 173, the control slide 151 and the carriage slide 125 extend together in the guide path 171.

[0059] Fig.10 , 11 13 shows that the control slide 151 has been guided out of the locking track 174, thereby releasing the movement of the control rod 150 in the X direction. Therefore, the control rod 150 is in the unlocked position. Fig.12 The locking position of the control rod 150 is shown, in which the control slide 151 is locked in the locking track 174, ie a movement in the X direction is blocked.

[0060] The opening operation of the roof 101 is as follows. Figure 2 Starting from the closed position shown, the carriage 120 is displaced backwards. The rear opening rod 110 is actuated, i.e. opened or unfolded. As a result, the cover 103 is lifted in the Z direction at the rear edge 106 and transferred to the ventilation position. In this movement phase, the carriage 120 is movable relative to the control rod 150, because this movement is released by the control rail 131. The control rod 150 is locked in the X direction by the locking rail 174. If the carriage 120 is displaced further backwards, the control rod 150 is unlocked by the control slide 151 being guided out of the locking rail 174. At the same time, the control rod 150 is fixed to the carriage 120 by the control rail 131, so that the movement of the carriage 120 causes the movement of the control rod 150 in the X direction. Since the control rod 150 is connected to the front opening rod 109, the cover support 111 and the cover 103 are displaced in the X direction to the maximum opening position, in which the top opening 102 is maximally opened. The sequence of movements occurs in reverse order to close the top opening 102 .

[0061] Details of the control rod 150 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention are discussed in the text below.

[0062] In the exemplary embodiment, the control rod 150 is guided on both sides, as viewed relative to the transverse direction Y, which is particularly true with reference to Fig.15 and Fig.16 107 and the carriage 120. In particular, the control rod 150 is supported in the region of the rear end 153 relative to the guide rail 107 and the carriage 120. In particular, this support allows the control rod 150 to slide both on the guide rail 107 (including the locking rail 174, which is an integral part of the guide rail 107) and on the carriage 120, depending on the movement phase as described above. The control rod 150 is guided between the guide rail 107 and the carriage 120 in a form-fitting manner, as described in the introduction. In each movement phase, the control rod 150 is supported on both sides of the guide rail 107 and the carriage 120.

[0063] See also Figures 7 to 9 On a first side 155 facing the carriage 120, the control rod 150 has one or more first sliding surfaces 156 for guiding on the carriage 120. On a second side 157 facing the guide rail 107, the control rod 150 has one or more second sliding surfaces 158 for guiding on the guide rail 107. As an optional option, the sliding surfaces 156, 158 may have a recess 159, such as Figure 7 The left side sliding surface 158 is shown.

[0064] Fig.16 A cross-section through the opening mechanism 108 is shown (in the XZ plane), the section passing through the carriage 120, the rear end 153 of the control rod 150 and the guide rail 107. It can be seen that the control slide 151 is in the guide path 171. It can also be seen how the control rod 150 is supported by the sliding surface 156 on the carriage 120 and the sliding surface 158 on the guide rail 107.

[0065] In addition, refer to Fig.16 It can be seen that the control rod 150, in particular in the region of the rear end 153, is designed in the form of a metal reinforcement element 160 with a plastic overmolding. In other words, the sliding surfaces 156, 158 are part of the plastic overmolding 161 or are formed thereon.

[0066] It should be noted here that, although the forms proposed herein are advantageous, they may also be designed in other ways for the carriage 120, the opening rods 109, 110 and the guide rails 107. The key factor is that the control rod 150 is supported between the carriage 120 and the guide rails 107 as described above.
