Description

[0001] This application is filed on July 20, 2021, with national application number 202180059843.7 (PCT application number is PCT / EP2021 / 070286) , a divisional application of the invention patent application entitled "Track slider assembly and window lifter of a motor vehicle having the same". Technical Field

[0002] The invention relates to a track slider assembly for a window lifter of a motor vehicle or a track slider assembly for a window lifter of a motor vehicle. The invention also relates to a window lifter, which in particular has a functionalized window glass of a motor vehicle or is used for a functionalized window glass of a motor vehicle and has such a track slider assembly. Background Art

[0003] Parts or components of an electric window lift, preferably a cable window lift, are usually arranged, mounted or mountable on a carrier plate. The parts and components of the window lift and the carrier plate form an assembly or door module, for example also for functionalized window panes of motor vehicles.

[0004] Functionalized glazing is understood in particular to be electrically switchable or controllable (motor vehicle) glazing, i.e. glazing with an electrically switchable or (actuated) controllable functional layer, in particular an electron-transparent layer, an antenna-functional layer, a heatable layer or a light-emitting layer. In other words, the glazing is provided with an in particular optical and / or thermal functional layer, the function of which can be influenced, changed, switched or controlled by means of an electrical control signal. Functionalized glazing is also understood to be tintable glazing in the form of electroactive or electrochromic glazing (smart glazing).

[0005] In order to control such functionalized windows, they must be coupled to an energy source and / or a control device (controller) as an electronic device for transmitting control signals. In particular, in the case of movable or adjustable windows of motor vehicles, such as side windows or sliding roofs, the signal transmission connection between the window and the electronic device is realized using correspondingly guided lines or by means of a cable with such lines for the transmission of current and / or signals.

[0006] According to DE 10 2009 036 267 A1, the cable or line guidance can be carried out by means of a winding roller for partially accommodating the cable. The guidance of the line or (electrical) cable for conveying current and / or signals to the movable component can also be carried out via auxiliary means, for example in the form of a rod mechanism, on which the electrical cable is fastened and guided. Thus, for example, DE 10 2012 202 510 A1 discloses a device for operating an electrical load arranged in or on a movable transparent surface element by means of a power supply and / or signal line arranged on a rod mechanism.

[0007] It is known from DE 10 2012 202 510 A1 that in a height-adjustable window pane, the light transmittance of which can be varied by means of an applied voltage, a rod mechanism having two rods connected to one another in an articulated manner is used, and power supply and / or signal lines to an electrical load arranged on the window pane are fastened in a fixed position to the rod constructed as a rotary hinge by means of clips or clamps. Summary of the invention

[0008] The object of the present invention is to describe a rail slider assembly having a rail slider that can be used particularly flexibly, which can be used by simple means not only to connect window glass having an electrically switchable or electrically (drive) controllable functional layer but also to connect window glass without such a functional layer.

[0009] A rail slider assembly, in particular a rail slider assembly for a window lifter of a motor vehicle, has a rail slider. The rail slider has a slider interface with a guide rail, a follower interface for a window glass that is in particular functionalized and / or electrically switchable or controllable, and at least one mechanical fastening interface. The rail slider assembly also has an interface adapter that is mounted or can be mounted on the mechanical fastening interface of the rail slider, the interface adapter having a retaining element or retaining structure or contour, which is used to fasten a cable guide or an electrical cable and / or an electrical connection plug in a form-fitting manner in particular. The interface adapter can also be provided and set up to be held on a glass adapter. The glass adapter is preferably arranged between the window glass and the rail slider if necessary.

[0010] A rail slider is understood in particular to be a rail slider that has a follower function for a window pane. Therefore, a rail slider can also be referred to as a follower with a rail slider function. An interface adapter is understood in particular to be a mechanical engagement component that, on the one hand, is held or fastened to the rail slider (or window pane adapter) and, on the other hand, has a holding or engagement element for a cable guide, for an electrical cable and / or for a connection plug. An interface adapter can also be referred to as a cable or guide adapter or, in general, as an adapter.

[0011] A cable guide is understood to be, in particular, a flexible tube or drag chain guide element for guiding a cable. An electrical cable is understood to be, in particular, a number of electrical lines with or without an additional cable sheath as an additional (electrical) insulation. A connecting plug is understood to be, in particular, a contact element that contacts a cable or line, such as a plug part or a socket part, which is arranged and configured to contact or electrically connect (and, if necessary, mechanically connect) a corresponding mating contact on a window pane or a rail adapter.

[0012] The window pane is fastened to a rail slide which is guided in a movable manner along a guide rail of a window lifter. For this purpose, the rail slide has a slide interface with the guide rail and a follower interface with the window pane, which is also functionalized and / or electrically switchable or controllable, or with a rail adapter, as well as at least one mechanical fastening interface for a cable guide, an (electrical) cable and / or for a connecting plug as a plug element or contact element.

[0013] The slider interface is preferably an inlay of the rail slider on the profile section or guide contour of the guide rail, in particular an approximately L-shaped one. The follower interface is preferably a snap-in fastening part that is integral with the rail slider, or a screw and / or snap-in fastening part for holding the window glass on the rail slider.

[0014] The mechanical fastening interface is used to hold the interface adapter (cable or guide adapter) in a removable manner, in particular, as a holding or fastening element for a cable or a line, for a cable guide element and / or for a connection plug for connecting a cable or a line. For this purpose, the rail slider is set up as a carrier for the adapter, so that in the case of a functionalized, energizable window glass, only the same rail slider (approximately as a universal part for window glass with or without a functional layer that can be switched or controlled electrically) needs to be equipped with an adapter. The adapter is used to hold or fasten (electrical) cables, which are always understood as corresponding electrical lines in the following. The adapter is again set up as a carrier for a cable guide (for example, a flexible guide tube for accommodating a cable), and / or for a connection plug for an electronic device, or for an electrical component on or for an electrical component for a window glass.

[0015] Preferably, the rail slider has a fastening interface for holding an (interface) adapter for a cable, preferably on the line end on the plug side, and an adapter for holding a guide tube thereon. For this purpose, the rail slider expediently has a first mechanical fastening interface on the flat side facing away from the slider interface and a second fastening interface on the narrow side, in particular on the narrow side facing the slider interface. Thus, the rail slider can be used for different variants of the adapter, which in turn can have different engagement elements for fastening to the rail slider on the one hand and for holding a cable or a guide tube or a connecting plug on the other hand. Additionally or alternatively, the (interface) adapter can be used for different variants of the rail slider.

[0016] In other words, the track slider assembly has a track slider having a first retaining structure for fastening a cable holder or a component for guiding a cable and a second retaining structure for fastening a plug holder for a connecting plug or a cable section leading to the connecting plug. To this end, the existing profile or structure of the track slider is used or taken into account in an appropriate manner. The corresponding engagement profile of the respective (interface) adapter matches the engagement profile or structure of the track slider side. The adapter can thus be engaged with the track slider in a simple manner, in particular preferably locked or clamped thereon or clamped with the track slider in a detachable manner. Suitably, the (interface) adapter provided and established as a cable holder and / or plug holder is provided as a separate component.

[0017] In an advantageous embodiment, the rail runner has a grid-like, brace-like or web-like engagement contour as a fastening interface for the interface adapter. The engagement contour is arranged on the (flat) side facing away from the runner interface in the assembled state of the guide rail. The interface adapter has a number of engagement elements in a suitable manner, which correspond to the engagement contour on the runner side in order to establish a latching or clipping connection.

[0018] In an expedient development, the interface adapter, when mounted on the rail slide, preferably completely spans the rail slide transversely to the slide longitudinal direction and / or the rail longitudinal direction.

[0019] According to a suitable embodiment, the rail slider has a tubular or flute-shaped retaining structure as a fastening interface for the interface adapter. The retaining structure, in particular the retaining structure arranged on the narrow side facing the slider interface and / or the guide rail, is preferably formed by two mutually spaced, sleeve-shaped receiving chambers for cable joints arranged on the end side of the cable traction element. The adapter can then be clamped between these receiving chambers. The retaining structure on the rail slider side thus assumes a corresponding dual function. For this purpose, the interface adapter expediently has an engagement contour corresponding to the retaining structure on the slider side, in particular in the form of a corresponding engagement groove or engagement groove, for establishing a latching connection or clamping connection with the rail slider.

[0020] In order to securely and especially removably hold the cable, the connection plug and / or the cable guide, the interface adapter preferably has a number of latching elements which are suitably implemented as clamp-shaped or cable tie-shaped retaining tongues.

[0021] A particularly suitable window lifter for a motor vehicle has at least one guide rail and such a rail slide assembly, which has such a rail slide and at least one provided (interface) adapter, which engages with the rail slide, in particular when using functionalized window panes, and fastens a cable or a guide tube provided therefor thereto.

[0042] Figure 1A window lifter is shown as an adjusting device for a motor vehicle, which has a rail-slider assembly 1 , for example a door module, and a carrier plate (carrier) 2 , on which a guide rail 3 is mounted and on which the rail-slider assembly 1 is guided.

[0043] In the following, the description of the spatial directions is also described in the coordinate system of the motor vehicle (vehicle coordinate system), in particular with respect to the exemplary installation situation of a window lifter in a side door of a motor vehicle. The transverse axis (X axis, X direction) is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (direction of travel), the longitudinal axis (Y axis, Y direction) is oriented in the transverse direction of the vehicle, and the vertical axis (Z axis, Z direction) is oriented at the height of the vehicle.

[0044] The rail slider assembly 1 has: a rail slider 4 or a follower having the function of a rail slider or a rail slider having the function of a follower as a movable component guided on a guide rail 3 in a manner that it can move in the longitudinal direction L of the rail; and an interface adapter 5. The guide rail 3 arranged (mounted) on the carrier plate 2 is oriented in the Z direction. The carrier plate 2 is located in the XZ plane or extends therein.

[0045] The electric drive (cable drive) 12 is coupled in a manner not shown in detail to a cable drum, on which a traction cable ( Figure 3 ), so that during operation of the window lifter, one cable end is wound onto the cable drum and the other cable end is unwound from the cable drum. As a result, the window glass 8 connected to the rail slide 4 via the window glass adapter 7 is adjusted so that the window glass is moved along the adjustment path in the assembled state. Figure 1 The movable member can be moved between a closed position (first end position) and an open position (second end position) shown in FIG.

[0046] The window pane 8 is a functionalized, in particular electrically switchable or controllable window pane. The window pane or the window pane adapter 7 expediently has electrical contacts of an electrical cable 9 for energizing or controlling the window pane 8 or its controllable layer or coating.

[0047] A lever mechanism 10 having a first lever 10a and a second lever 10b is rotatably held on the carrier plate 2. For this purpose, the first lever 10a is fastened to the carrier plate 2 as a stationary component in a rotatable manner. The second lever 10b is connected to the carrier plate 2 via a second rotary hinge (hinged pin 31, Figure 6 ) is held in a rotatable manner on a slide 4 as a movable component. The opposite or free rod ends of the two rods 10a, 10b are coupled in a rotary connection (rotary joint) 11 and are held in the rotary connection in a rotatable or pivotable manner relative to each other about a rotation axis oriented in the Y direction.

[0048] The window lifter, in particular the rod mechanism 10 of the window lifter and the electric cable 9 held on or guided by the rod mechanism, as well as the guide rail 3, the rail slider assembly 1, 4, 5 guided on the guide rail, the window glass 8 coupled to the rail slider 4, and the components or members of the electric drive 12 are all arranged in the so-called wet space of the vehicle door. The carrier plate 2 as a door module or module carrier separates the wet space inside the vehicle door from the dry space facing the vehicle interior.

[0049] An interface adapter 5, hereinafter referred to as adapter, is preferably held in a removable manner on the rail slide 4.

In the assembled state, a window pane 8 or a glass adapter 7 is received by a corresponding section between the two legs 4a, 4b, which form a follower interface 14 for the window pane 8. Here, one of the legs 4a, 4b can have a latching lug, which latches into a corresponding glass opening or adapter opening of the glass adapter 7 during assembly. A screw connection can also be provided via a corresponding fixing structure 15 for a clamping screw in the form of a screw hole, a threaded opening or the like.

[0051] The rail slider 4 (here on the guide or sliding leg 4a) has a retaining structure to form a fastening interface 16 in the form of two mutually spaced tube, cylinder or sleeve-shaped receiving chambers 17. In addition, the rail slider 4 (here on the clamping leg 4b) has a grid-like, brace-like or web-like engagement contour 19 on the flat side 18 facing away from the guide rail 3 as a further fastening interface 20. The fastening interfaces 16, 20 are used to (mechanically) fasten the interface adapter 5. The interface adapter has a certain number of engagement elements in a suitable manner, which correspond to the retaining structure 17 or the engagement contour 19 on the slider side to establish a latching connection, a plug connection or a clamping connection.

[0052] Figure 3, a side view of a rail slider 4 is shown, which has an L-shaped rail surround as a slider interface 21 at a profile section or an upright guide contour 22 of the guide rail 3 shown in section. A low-friction sliding insert 23, in particular made of a thermoplastic, preferably POM (polyoxymethylene), is arranged in the rail surround of the slider interface 21. The cable connector 24 of the corresponding traction cable 25 of the window lift cable traction part, which is fixed to the cable end side, is placed in a sleeve-shaped receiving chamber 17 as a retaining structure forming the fastening interface 16, in particular in a form-fitting manner.

[0053] exist Figure 4 In relative to Figure 3 The side view rotated through 90° shows the rail slide 4 which has a rail surround as slide interface 21 to the guide rail 3 and has a follower interface 14 in the form of sliding or clamping legs 4a, 4b.

[0054] Figure 5 A variant of an interface adapter 5 is shown as a (plug) holder for connecting a plug 13. The interface adapter 5 has engagement elements 26, 27 which match the engagement contour 19 which is preferably already present in the region of the fastening interface 20 of the rail slide 4 and which are used to produce a snap-in or clip connection as a preferably form-fitting connection or correspond to it when producing the snap-in or clip connection.

[0055] from Figure 6 As can be seen in the figure, the adapter-side engagement element 27 overlaps or engages behind the engagement contour 19 of the rail slider 4 at the fastening interface 20 of the rail slider. In this case, the interface adapter 5 completely spans the rail slider 4 transversely to the longitudinal direction L of the rail. In the exemplary embodiment, the interface adapter 5 has two hook-shaped retaining elements 28 ( Figure 6 ), and a likewise hook-shaped clamping or holding element 30 for connecting the plug 13. The hinge pin 31 formed on the interface adapter 26 serves to hold the second rod 10b of the rod mechanism 10 in a rotatable manner, on which the electrical cable 9 is held and guided.

[0056] Figures 7 to 9 , a second variant of the interface adapter 5 is shown for use as a cable guide for an electrical cable 9. The interface adapter 5 of this variant also has engagement elements 26, 27, which match the engagement contour 19 of the rail slider 4 in the region of the fastening interface 20 of the rail slider and overlap or engage the engagement contour 19 from behind to preferably establish a snap-on or clip-on connection as a preferred form-locking connection ( Figure 8 ).

[0057] The interface adapter 5 of this variant has a holding structure 32 extending in the Y direction. Fig. 9 As can be seen in FIG. 3 , the holding structure 32 serves to hold a clip element 33 for a guide tube 34 serving as a cable guide. Furthermore, the interface adapter 5 of this variant has a holding contour 35 for connecting the plug 13 and extending in the X direction.

[0058] Fig.10 A window lifter with a rail slider assembly 1 having a further variant of an interface adapter 5' is shown in a section. Identical parts are also provided with the same reference numerals here. The figure again shows a carrier plate (module carrier) 2 and a guide rail 3 arranged on the carrier plate, on which a rail slider assembly 1 with a rail slider 4 (having the function of a follower) and an interface adapter 5' is guided in a manner that it can move in the longitudinal direction of the rail L. An elastic, in particular flexurally elastic guide tube 34 is guided on the interface adapter 5' as a cable guide, in which an electrical cable 9 connected or connectable to a functionalized window pane 8 is accommodated.

[0059] Fig.11 An interface adapter 5' is shown, which is provided as a separate component for guiding or retaining a cable similar to other variants. The interface adapter 5' has an engagement profile 36, which matches and corresponds to the engagement or retaining structure 17 of the fastening interface 16 of the track slider 4. The locking element or clip 37 of the adapter 5' overlaps the corresponding profile of the track slider 4 at the fastening interface 16 of the track slider. The clip-shaped or fork-shaped engagement element 38 of the adapter 5' overlaps or engages the corresponding profile of the track slider 4 from below at the fastening interface 16 of the track slider, so that the adapter 5' is reliably engaged with the track slider 4 or can be reliably engaged with it. The clamp-shaped retaining structure 39 of the adapter 5' is used to retain the cable guide 34 surrounded by the retaining structure 39.

[0060] Fig.12 A variant of an interface adapter 5' is shown, which is provided similarly to the other variants as a separate component for guiding or retaining the cable. The interface adapter 5' again has engagement contours 36, which match and correspond to the engagement or retaining structures 17 of the fastening interface 16 of the rail slider 4. Here, corresponding latching elements or clips 37 of the adapter 5' also serve to retain it on the rail slider 4 at the fastening interface 16 of the rail slider.

[0061] The clamp-shaped or fork-shaped engagement element 38 of the adapter 5' again overlaps at the fastening interface 16 of the rail slider and engages the corresponding contour of the rail slider 4 from below, so that the adapter 5' can also be reliably engaged with the rail slider 4 or can be reliably engaged with it. The clamp-shaped holding structure 39 of the adapter 5' is again used to hold the cable guide 34 surrounded by the holding structure 39. The adapter 5' of this variant also has a hinge pin 31, which is used to connect the rod 10b of the rod mechanism 10 to the rail slider assembly 1 in a rotatable manner.

[0062] Fig.13 A further variant of an interface adapter 5' is shown, which is provided as a separate component similar to the other variants and is advantageously suitable for guiding and retaining cables in this embodiment. The interface adapter 5' again has engagement contours 36, which match the engagement or retaining structure 17 of the fastening interface 16 of the rail slider 4. Here, the corresponding latching elements or clips 37 of the adapter 5' serve to retain it on the rail slider 4 at the fastening interface 16 of the rail slider. The likewise clamping claw-like retaining structure 39 of the adapter 5' again serves to retain the cable guide 34, which is surrounded by the retaining structure 39 together with the electrical cable 9 guided therein.

[0063] from Fig.14 and Fig.15 It can be seen that the adapter 5 ′ of this variant also has a retaining contour 35 for the connecting plug 13 and a clamping element 33 for the electrical cable 9 or the corresponding cable section 29 .

[0064] exist Figures 16 to 18 , for use preferably as a holder for an electrical cable 9. The interface adapter 5' again has an engagement contour 36 that matches the engagement or holding structure 17 of the fastening interface 16 of the rail slider 4. Here, a corresponding latching element or clip 37 of the adapter 5' is also used to hold it on the rail slider 4 at the fastening interface 16 of the rail slider. The adapter 5' of this variant has a pot-shaped adapter section 40, with which the adapter 5' is placed between the sleeve-shaped receiving chambers 17 of the fastening interface 16 on the slider side. The adapter 5' of this variant also has a holding contour 35 for connecting the plug 13.

[0065] from Fig.18 It can be seen that the adapter 5 ′ of this variant has a connection section 41 , on which a cable guide 34 ′ in the form of a drag chain is or can be mounted.

[0066] In summary, a rail slider assembly 1 for a window lifter of a motor vehicle comprises a rail slider 4 and an interface adapter 5, 5' which is mounted or can be mounted on a mechanical fastening interface 16, 20 of the rail slider 4 or on a glass adapter 7, the interface adapter having a retaining structure for, in particular, positively locking fastening of a cable guide 34 or an electrical cable 9 and / or an electrical connection plug 13.
