Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a loading floor, which can be moved from a closed position into an open position, in which the loading floor covers a space arranged below the loading floor in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle. In the open position, the space can be entered / reached. A holding device is provided for holding the loading floor in the open position, wherein the holding device comprises at least one guide device. By moving the loading floor into the open position, at least one supporting element of the loading floor can be moved along the at least one guide device into an end position. In this end position, the position of the at least one supporting element in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle is lower than when the loading floor is in the closed position. The invention also relates to a method for moving a loading floor of a motor vehicle from a closed position into an open position. Background Art

[0002] It is not practical if the loading floor of a motor vehicle does not remain in the open position when it is moved into the open position in order to gain access to the space arranged below the loading floor, but closes again, for example due to gravity, since a motor vehicle user who wants to enter the space or storage space and move the loading floor into the open position for this purpose must support the loading floor himself.

[0003] CN 205905913 U describes a motor vehicle with a loading floor, which has a strip-shaped fixing component on each narrow side in the area of ​​the end located in the front in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle. A horizontally extending first fixing groove and an inclined second fixing groove are formed in a trim component that laterally delimits the loading space of the motor vehicle. When the strip-shaped fixing component is pushed into the horizontal fixing groove, the loading floor is therefore horizontal. However, if the strip-shaped fixing component is pushed into the inclined fixing groove, the loading floor will be held in an open position by the fixing groove.

[0004] A disadvantage in this case is that the handling of the loading floor when moving it from the closed position into the open position is relatively laborious for the user of the motor vehicle.

[0005] Further possibilities for securing a loading floor of a vehicle in an open position are described in DE 10 2016 222 982 A1 and DE 10 2017 006 581 A1. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a motor vehicle of the type mentioned at the outset, in which a loading floor can be moved from a closed position into an open position in a particularly user-friendly manner, and to specify a corresponding method.

[0007] This object is achieved by a motor vehicle having the features of claim 1 and a method having the features of claim 10. Advantageous embodiments with suitable developments of the invention are given in the dependent claims and in the following description.

[0008] The motor vehicle according to the invention has a loading floor which can be moved from a closed position into an open position, in which the loading floor covers a space arranged below the loading floor in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle. In the open position, the space can be entered. A holding device of the motor vehicle is used to hold the loading floor in the open position. The holding device comprises at least one guide device, wherein by moving the loading floor into the open position, at least one supporting element of the loading floor can be moved along the at least one guide device into a terminal position. In this terminal position, the position of the at least one supporting element in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle is lower than when the loading floor is in the closed position. The at least one supporting element can be moved from an initial position into an intermediate position by rotating about a swivel axis of the loading floor, which initial position the at least one supporting element occupies when the loading floor is in the closed position. The at least one supporting element can be moved from the intermediate position into the terminal position.

[0009] Thus, in a motor vehicle, the loading floor can be moved from a closed position into an open position in a particularly user-friendly manner. For this purpose, the user of the motor vehicle only has to rotate or swivel the loading floor about the swivel axis or fold the loading floor upwards. As a result, the support element moves from the initial position into the intermediate position without any further action by the user. And as soon as at least one support element is in the intermediate position, the at least one support element can be moved from the intermediate position into the end position.

[0010] Thus, the movement of the loading floor from the open position into the closed position, in which the holding device holds the loading floor, can be carried out particularly easily and intuitively for the user of the motor vehicle. This is because the user is accustomed to rotating the loading floor about the pivot axis or tilting it upwards in order to move the loading floor from the closed position into the open position. However, this movement familiar to the user is advantageously accompanied by a movement of at least one supporting element from an initial position into an intermediate position, from which the at least one supporting element can reach an end position. By rotating or pivoting the loading floor about the pivot axis, the supporting element can be moved slightly from the initial position into the intermediate position. And from the intermediate position, the supporting element can be moved unhindered into the end position, in particular with the support of gravity.

[0011] In contrast, when the support element assumes the initial position, i.e., when the loading floor is in the closed position, the support element can be prevented from being lowered in the vertical direction of the vehicle and thus cannot be moved directly into the end position. In this way, an undesired lowering of the support element in the vertical direction of the vehicle is prevented when the loading floor is in the closed position. This is advantageous with regard to user friendliness when operating the loading floor.

[0012] In the closed position, the loading floor preferably assumes a target position in which an end of the loading floor remote from the pivot axis is preferably aligned flush with a component of the motor vehicle adjacent to the loading floor. In this way, the loading floor and the adjacent components form a continuous, preferably flat loading surface in the loading space of the motor vehicle.

[0013] Preferably, by pivoting the loading base about the pivot axis, the at least one support element can be moved from the initial position along the at least one guide in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle into the intermediate position. In this case, the at least one support element is closer to the rear end of the motor vehicle in the initial position than in the intermediate position. This is particularly advantageous in order to achieve a continuous movement of the support element along the guide when the support element is moved from the initial position via the intermediate position to the end position.

[0014] Furthermore, by spacing the intermediate position in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle relative to the initial position from the rear end of the vehicle, it can be ensured particularly easily that an undesired lowering of the support element in the vertical direction of the vehicle in the initial position is avoided, which would then occur when the support element is subsequently moved from the intermediate position to the end position.

[0015] Preferably, the holding device comprises at least one abutment element spaced apart from the at least one guide device. When the at least one supporting element is moved into the end position, the upper side of the loading floor rests against the at least one abutment element. By providing the abutment element, the guide device need not exert or provide the forces required to hold the loading floor in the open position. Instead, the abutment element of the holding device spaced apart from the guide device serves as a support for the upper side of the loading floor when the loading floor is in the open position.

[0016] This is advantageous because the guide device is mainly used to guide the supporting element when the supporting element is moved from the initial position to the end position and back via the intermediate position. In contrast, the loading base is held in the open position, particularly by at least one abutment element.

[0017] By means of the at least one contact element, a large contact area can advantageously be provided, in which the upper side of the loading floor contacts the contact element when the loading floor is in the open position and the support element is thus moved into the end position. Furthermore, the contact element, which is separate from the guide device and spaced apart from the guide device, can be designed to be very simple and sufficiently strong to enable the loading floor to be securely held in the open position.

[0018] Preferably, during the movement of the at least one supporting element from the initial position to the intermediate position, the free end region of the loading floor is spaced apart from the end region of the at least one abutment element which is close to the loading floor. In the closed position of the loading floor, the free end region of the loading floor is closer to the front end of the motor vehicle than to the rear end of the motor vehicle. By spacing the free end region of the loading floor from the abutment element during the oscillating movement, it is achieved that the oscillating movement of the loading floor about the oscillating axis can be carried out unhindered. This facilitates interference-free operation when moving the loading floor from the closed position into the open position and back.

[0019] Preferably, at least one guide device has at least one locking protuberance, and when at least one supporting element moves from the initial position to the intermediate position, at least one locking protuberance can be crossed.By providing at least one locking protuberance, it is advantageously avoided that the supporting element moves accidentally from the initial position to the intermediate position.

[0020] Furthermore, by providing at least one locking projection, a haptic and / or acoustic feedback can be provided to the user of the motor vehicle when the user moves the loading floor from the open position back into the closed position, since here too the locking projection must first be overcome in order to move the support element from the intermediate position into the initial position.

[0021] Preferably, the bearing element has an anti-slip coating at least in the contact area in which the at least one bearing element contacts a delimiting wall of the at least one guide device during the movement from the initial position into the intermediate position. The anti-slip coating is designed to assist in riding over the at least one locking bead. In contrast, the anti-slip coating of the bearing element advantageously ensures that the at least one locking bead can be particularly easily ridden over, in particular rolled over, when the bearing element moves from the initial position into the intermediate position during a rotation of the loading base about the pivot axis.

[0022] The anti-slip coating, which is produced in particular from a rubber material or a similar elastic material, also advantageously ensures that the bearing element is supported elastically and therefore particularly quietly or without noise in the guide when the bearing element is in the initial position.

[0023] The anti-slip coating or friction lining can be designed in the manner of a housing which surrounds or encloses the in particular cylindrical base body of the support element. By means of such a design of the support element, rolling over the locking projection can be achieved in a particularly simple manner when the support element is moved from the initial position to the intermediate position.

[0024] Preferably, at least one support element is received in a locking recess of at least one guide device in the initial position, thereby achieving a defined support of the support element in the guide device when the support element is in the initial position.

[0025] Preferably, at least one bearing element is designed as a bearing pin, by which a pivot axis of the loading base is provided. In this way, the bearing element is designed to be particularly strong and load-bearing. Furthermore, when the bearing element is moved from an initial position via an intermediate position into an end position, a very precise guidance of the bearing element along the guide device can be achieved. This preferably also applies when, when the loading base is moved from an open position into a closed position, the bearing element moves from the end position via an intermediate position back again into the initial position.

[0026] Preferably, at least one end section of the guide, along which the at least one support element is movable from the intermediate position into the end position, forms an acute angle with the vertical direction of the motor vehicle. By such an inclined orientation of the end section of the guide relative to the vertical direction of the motor vehicle, it can be achieved that when the loading floor is in the open position, the entire loading floor forms an acute angle with the vertical direction of the motor vehicle.

[0027] As a result, on the one hand, the space arranged below the loading floor in the closed position of the loading floor is particularly accessible when the loading floor is in the open position. Furthermore, it can be avoided that the loading floor in the open position takes up space which is or can be provided for other components of the motor vehicle, for example in the form of seats in the rear seat row of the motor vehicle, which are arranged in front of the loading floor in the longitudinal direction or the direction of travel of the motor vehicle. This is advantageous.

[0028] The motor vehicle can have a second row of seats arranged behind the driver's seat and the front passenger seat in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle and a third row of seats arranged behind the second row of seats. In this case, the loading floor is arranged behind the third row of seats. In particular, in the case of such a loading floor arranged behind the third row of seats of the motor vehicle, it is particularly advantageous if the loading floor is held in the open position by means of a holding device. This is because in particular the third row of seats of the motor vehicle can help prevent the loading floor from being raised to the vertical or even beyond the vertical. Therefore, the above-described movement mechanism for moving the loading floor is particularly advantageous in motor vehicles with a third row of seats.

[0029] In a method according to the invention for moving a loading floor of a motor vehicle from a closed position into an open position, a holding device of the motor vehicle holds the loading floor in the open position, in which the loading floor covers a space arranged below the loading floor in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle and which is accessible in the open position. The holding device comprises at least one guide device, wherein by moving the loading floor into the open position, at least one supporting element of the loading floor is moved along the at least one guide device into an end position. In the end position, the position of the at least one supporting element in the vertical direction of the motor vehicle is lower than when the loading floor is in the closed position. The at least one supporting element is moved from an initial position into an intermediate position by rotating about a swivel axis of the loading floor, which initial position the at least one supporting element occupies when the loading floor is in the closed position. The at least one supporting element can be moved from the intermediate position into the end position.

[0030] This method for moving the loading floor into the open position is particularly user-friendly. This is because the rotation of the loading floor about the pivot axis causes the support element to move from the initial position into the intermediate position. From the intermediate position, the support element can be moved very easily, preferably with the aid of gravity, into the end position. As a result, for the motor vehicle user, moving the loading floor from the closed position into the open position is very easy, effortless and intuitive.

[0031] The advantages and preferred embodiments described for the motor vehicle according to the invention also apply to the method according to the invention, and vice versa.

[0032] Therefore, the present invention also includes a development of the method according to the present invention, which has the features already described in conjunction with the development of the motor vehicle according to the present invention. Therefore, corresponding developments of the method according to the present invention will not be described here.

[0033] The motor vehicle according to the invention is preferably designed as a car, in particular as a passenger car or commercial vehicle, or as a bus.

[0034] The present invention also includes combinations of features of the embodiments described. Therefore, the present invention also includes implementations which each have a combination of features of a plurality of the embodiments described, as long as these embodiments are not described as mutually exclusive.

[0041] The embodiments described below are preferred embodiments of the present invention. In the embodiments, the components described in the embodiments are respectively individual features of the present invention that can be regarded as independent of each other, and these features also improve the present invention independently of each other. Therefore, the present disclosure should also include feature combinations that are different from the feature combinations of the illustrated embodiments. In addition, the described embodiments can also be supplemented by other features in the already described features of the present invention.

[0042] In the figures, the same reference numerals respectively denote elements with the same function.

[0043] exist Figure 1 A motor vehicle 10 is shown (see Figure 5 ) is located in the rear region of the motor vehicle 10 (see Figure 5 ) is arranged behind the third row of seats 12. A loading floor 14 is arranged in the rear region of the motor vehicle 10. Figure 1 1 shows the loading floor 14 in the closed position on the one hand and in the open position on the other hand. In the closed position of the loading floor 14, a loading space 18 of the motor vehicle 10 is delimited at the bottom by the upper side 16 of the loading floor 14. Furthermore, in the closed position of the loading floor 14, a space 20 or storage space arranged below the loading floor 14 in the vertical direction z of the motor vehicle 10 is covered. Utensils such as a tool box 22 can be placed in this space 20 or storage space.

[0044] In addition, Figure 1and Figure 2 14 is shown in the open position. In the open position of the loading floor 14, the lower side 24 of the loading floor 14 faces the motor vehicle 10 (see Figure 5 ) at the tail end 26.

[0045] Especially from Figure 2 It can be seen that the loading floor 14 moved into the open position forms an angle 28 with the vertical direction z of the motor vehicle 10 or with the vertical axis of the vehicle, which angle is designed as an acute angle 28. The angle 28 can be, in particular, approximately 5°. Therefore, the loading floor 14 is not completely vertical in the open position. Nevertheless, it is now possible to prevent the loading floor 14 from accidentally moving from the open position into the closed position due to gravity. This is ensured by the holding device 30, the components and operating principle of which will be described in detail in detail in the following. Figure 3 A more detailed explanation is given.

[0046] On the one hand, the holding device 30 comprises a guide device 32, which is designed as a guide slot in the present case and has an end section 34. When the loading floor 14 is in the open position, the end section 34 forms the same acute angle 28 with the vertical direction z of the motor vehicle 10 as the loading floor 14 itself (see Figure 2 ).

[0047] Furthermore, the guide device 32 comprises a locking groove 36 , in which the bearing element 38 , which is designed in the present case as a bearing pin, is received in the initial position of the loading base plate 14 .

[0048] Preferably, corresponding bearing elements 38 are arranged on opposite sides of the loading floor 14 in the vehicle transverse direction y, which bearing elements are guided in corresponding guide devices 32 designed as slideways or guide slideways. In the present case, the swivel axis of the loading floor 14 is provided by at least one bearing element 38. For the sake of simplicity, only one of these bearing elements 38, namely Figure 3 The support element 38 is shown and its movement when the loading floor 14 is moved into the open position.

[0049] When the loading base 14 is moved from the closed position into the open position by rotation about the pivot axis, the bearing element 38 first moves from the initial position, in which it is located in the locking recess 36 , into the intermediate position 40 .

[0050] exist Figure 3, the intermediate position 40 is indicated by the support element 38 shown for the second time, which moves from an initial position in the longitudinal direction x of the motor vehicle 10 into the intermediate position 40, in which the support element 38 is arranged in the locking recess 36. In the intermediate position 40, the support element 38 is further away from the motor vehicle 10 than in the initial position (see Figure 5 ) of the rear end 26 of the motor vehicle 10. In other words, the support element 38 is closer to the rear end 26 of the motor vehicle 10 in the initial position than in the intermediate position 40.

[0051] When the support element 38 is in the intermediate position 40, the support element 38 can be moved along the end section 34 of the guide device 32 into the end position 42. Figure 3 4 , the end position 42 is also indicated by the support element 38 shown for the third time, which has reached the lower end of the end section 34 of the guide device 32 in the vertical direction z.

[0052] In the present case, the movement of the support element 38 from the intermediate position 40 into the end position 42 is assisted by gravity. Therefore, in the present case, the support element 38 slides unhindered from the intermediate position 40 along the end section 34 into the end position 42 .

[0053] In order to move the bearing element 38 from the initial position and thus from the locking recess 36 into the intermediate position 40, the user of the motor vehicle 10 only needs to rotate or pivot the loading floor 14 about the pivot axis. In doing so, the bearing element 38 rolls over the locking projection 44 which delimits the locking recess 36 toward the end section 34 of the guide 32.

[0054] In order to assist or facilitate the passage over the locking projection 44, the bearing element 38, which is currently designed as a bearing pin, has an anti-slip coating 46. During the movement of the bearing element 38 from the initial position to the intermediate position 40, the anti-slip coating 46 comes into contact with the delimiting walls 48, 50 of the guide device 32 (see Figure 4 ).

[0055] Especially from Figure 3 It can also be seen that in the present case the locking recess 36 is oriented towards the motor vehicle 10 (see Figure 5 ) is delimited on one side by a further locking protuberance 54. Thus, in the initial position, a well-defined position of at least one supporting element 38 of the loading base plate 14 is predetermined.

[0056] exist Figure 3 Also partially shown in the figure is the loading floor 14 in the open position, in which the lower side 24 of the loading floor 14 faces the motor vehicle 10 (see Figure 5). As a result, the upper side 16 of the loading base 14 is no longer substantially horizontal, but is inclined. In the open position of the loading base 14, when the support element 38 is moved into the end position 42, the upper side 16 of the loading base 14 rests on the abutment element 56 of the holding device 30, which is spaced apart from the guide device 32 (see Figure 3 ).

[0057] It is now ensured that during the movement of the support element 38 from the initial position to the intermediate position 40, the free end region 58 of the loading base 14 is spaced apart from the end region 60 of the abutment element 56 which is adjacent to the loading base 14. Thus, during the movement of the support element 38 from the initial position to the intermediate position 40, the free end region 58 of the loading base 14 does not collide with this end region 60 of the abutment element 56.

[0058] Since the support element 38 is subsequently displaced from the intermediate position 40 into the end position 42, the upper side 16 of the free end region 58 of the loading base plate 14 comes into contact with the contact element 56 of the holding device 30, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the loading floor 14 has now been moved to the open position.

[0059] In the closed position of the loading floor 14 , the free end region 58 of the loading floor 14 is at a distance from the motor vehicle 10 (see Figure 5 ) has a front end 52 that is closer to the rear end 26 of the motor vehicle 10 than to the rear end 26 of the motor vehicle 10.

[0060] In the present case, it is preferably ensured that during the movement of the loading floor 14 from the closed position to the open position, in the loading space 18 of the motor vehicle 10 (see Figure 1 and Figure 5 ) there are no interfering contours that hinder or influence this movement of the loading base plate 14,

[0061] from Figure 4 , it can be seen that the holding device 30 is currently integrated in a loading floor support 62, which serves to support the loading floor 14 both in the closed position of the loading floor and in its open position. In the present case, two such loading floor supports 62 are arranged spaced apart from each other in the vehicle transverse direction y on opposite sides of the loading space 18 in the vehicle transverse direction y.

[0062] from Figure 4 It can also be seen that the guide device 32 designed as a slide or guide slide is designed to be open at the end 70 opposite the end section 34. This makes it possible to remove the loading base 14 from the motor vehicle 10. When the loading base 14 is removed from the motor vehicle 10, the support element 38 or the support pin passes through this end 70 of the corresponding guide device 32.

[0063] according to Figure 5 The motor vehicle 10 currently has a driver's seat 64 and a passenger seat 66, which are Figure 5 In the longitudinal direction x of the motor vehicle 10, a second row of seats 68 of the motor vehicle 10 is arranged behind the driver's seat 64 and the front passenger seat 66. A third row of seats 12 is also arranged behind the second row of seats 68 in the longitudinal direction x. Figure 1 Particularly in the case of a motor vehicle 10 which has, for example, seven seats available to vehicle occupants of the motor vehicle 10 , it is advantageous to keep the loading floor 14 in the open position, as shown here.

[0064] Overall, these examples illustrate how a removable loading floor 14 can be provided for a loading space 18 or luggage compartment of a motor vehicle 10 , which loading floor 14 can be erected and can be locked or fixed in an erected position or an open position.
