Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a motor vehicle door according to the preamble of claim 1, an application part according to the preamble of claim 13, a door module according to the preamble of claim 14 and a motor vehicle door according to the preamble of claim 15.

[0002] Motor vehicle doors and methods for their manufacture are described in various designs in the prior art. In particular, motor vehicle doors in which the motor vehicle lock is otherwise attached to the motor vehicle door with a door module usually have several window guides for guiding the movement of a window pane that can be moved between an open and a closed position.

[0003] The German utility model DE 20 2009 011 302 describes a motor vehicle door with a window pane and a door module. The motor vehicle door has a window guide on each side of the window pane in the area of ​​the window opening and, in addition, a window guide on each side of the window pane in the interior of the motor vehicle door. The window guides in the area of ​​the window opening and in the door interior are designed separately, at least on the side of the door module. In the transition area, and particularly when the window pane runs into the window guide of the door module, the window pane may twist slightly, resulting in increased loads on the window pane drive. Furthermore, in isolated cases, particularly when the window is partially open, acoustic noises may occur when the motor vehicle door slams shut. DE 195 11 294 A1 shows a similar arrangement.

[0004] The invention is based on the problem of providing a method for producing a motor vehicle door, an application part, a door module and a motor vehicle door, which place less strain on the window pane drive and further reduce acoustic noise, in particular when the motor vehicle door slams shut.

[0005] The above problem is solved procedurally in a method according to the preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterising part of claim 1.

[0006] The fundamental consideration is that the window pane can be guided better in the area between the window opening and the door interior if a continuous window guide is provided in the transition area between the window opening and the door interior. This is achieved according to the invention in that a window guide, which guides the window pane along a section of the window opening when the motor vehicle door is installed, is received in a window guide receptacle of the module carrier in a single assembly step. In this way, a window guide, which guides the window pane both in the area of ​​the window opening and in the door interior, can be easily fastened to the rest of the motor vehicle door.

[0007] This provides a continuous guide for the window pane between the window opening and the door interior. There are no separate window guides in the transition area between the window opening and the door interior. The overall guidance of the window pane is improved, and its tendency to twist when raising and lowering is reduced. As a result, the window pane drive is subjected to less stress.

[0008] It was also found that this improves the damping properties of the window guide, especially when a vehicle door slams shut, especially when the window is partially open. Noise caused by vibrations in the window pane as a result of slamming can be effectively reduced.

[0009] According to the preferred method according to claim 2, the window guide is inserted from the area of ​​the window opening into the door interior in one assembly step. Inserting it from the area of ​​the window opening into the door interior has proven to be simple in terms of assembly technology and therefore represents a preferred embodiment of the method.

[0010] Preferably, the window guide is received in the window guide receptacle by a relative movement of the door module, in particular to the window guide and / or motor vehicle door, during its assembly on the motor vehicle door. Additionally or alternatively, the window guide can be received in the window guide receptacle by a relative movement of the window guide, in particular to the window guide receptacle and / or motor vehicle door, during assembly of the window guide rail on the motor vehicle door (claim 3).

[0011] Here, and preferably, the window guide is continuous along its longitudinal extent. The motor vehicle door preferably further comprises additional window guides, which preferably extend over several partial areas. Preferably, the motor vehicle door comprises additional window guides on the same side of the window. Here, and preferably, the door module comprises an additional window guide. This window guide of the door module preferably continues the window guide received by the window guide receptacle. This allows guidance of the window pane over the entire travel path of the window pane (claim 5).

[0012] According to a further teaching of the invention, which has independent significance, the above-described object is achieved in an application part according to the preamble of claim 13 by the feature of the characterizing part of claim 13.

[0013] Because the window guide extends essentially along one edge of the base body of the application part and beyond one end of the edge, it is possible to guide the window pane even in the area of ​​the transition between the window opening and the door interior. As already described, this results in better guidance of the vehicle door and thus less stress on the window pane drive, as well as improved acoustics when the vehicle door slams shut.

[0014] According to a further teaching, which also has independent significance, the object described above is achieved in a door module according to the preamble of claim 14 by the characterizing feature of claim 14. Because the door module has a module carrier with a window guide for guiding the movement of a window pane and a window guide receptacle for receiving a window guide, it is possible to accommodate a window guide from the area of ​​the window opening in addition to the window guide of the module carrier. This ensures good guidance even in the transition area between the window opening and the door interior, thus reducing the load on the window pane drive. Likewise, the damping behavior of the window guide when the vehicle door slams shut, and thus the acoustics, is improved.

[0015] According to a further teaching, which also has independent significance, the above object is achieved in a motor vehicle door according to the preamble of claim 15 by the features of the characterizing part of claim 15. Because the window guide is at least partially accommodated by the window guide receptacle and extends into the area of ​​the window opening, better guidance of the window pane is achieved in the transition area between the window opening and the door interior, thus reducing the load on the window pane drive. Likewise, the acoustics are improved by improved damping behavior of the window guide when the motor vehicle door slams shut.

[0016] In the following, the invention is explained in more detail with reference to a drawing which merely represents exemplary embodiments. In the drawing, Fig. 1 a proposed motor vehicle door in a three-dimensional view with a proposed application part and a proposed door module, as well as in view X a two-dimensional plan view of a front side of the motor vehicle door, Fig. 2 a part of the proposed motor vehicle door with the proposed application part and the proposed door module a) with a window guide received in the window guide holder and b) before the window guide is received in the window guide holder, Fig. 3 a representation of the door module with the window guide installed and Fig. 4 a representation of the door module without window guide.

[0017] In the Fig. 1 shows a proposed motor vehicle door 1 with a door frame 2, with a door module 3, with a window pane 4 and with several window guides 5, 6, 7.

[0018] In the assembled state of the motor vehicle door 1, the window pane 4 is movable between an open position, in which the window pane 4 exposes a window opening 8 of the motor vehicle door 1, and a closed position, in which the window pane 4 closes the window opening 8. The movement is guided here and preferably by the window guides 5, 6, 7. In the assembled state of the motor vehicle door 1, the window guide 5 guides the window pane 4 along a section A of the window opening 8.

[0019] Furthermore, the motor vehicle door 1 has a door interior 9 below the window opening 8. Here and preferably, the door interior 9 is formed in the assembled state of the motor vehicle door 1 by a motor vehicle door outer skin 10, in particular a door outer panel, and a motor vehicle door inner panel 11, as shown in view X in the Fig. 1. "As assembled" means that the motor vehicle door is manufactured, but not necessarily that it is mounted on a motor vehicle.

[0020] The door module 3 is attached to the motor vehicle door 1 in the door interior 9, in particular to the door frame 2. The door module 3 has a module carrier 12 with a lock receptacle 13 for a motor vehicle lock 14 and a window guide receptacle 15 for receiving the window guide 5. The door module 3 preferably has a motor vehicle lock 14 received in the lock receptacle 13.

[0021] According to the invention, during the manufacture of the motor vehicle door 1, the window guide 5 is received by the window guide receptacle 15 in an assembly step. In particular, the window guide 5 and the window guide receptacle 15 are designed such that the window guide 5 runs into the window guide receptacle 15 for reception.

[0022] At vehicle door 1 of the Fig. 1, the window guide 5 is at least partially received by the window guide receptacle 15 and extends into the area of ​​the window opening 8. As a result, the window pane 4, in the assembled state of the motor vehicle door 1, is guided continuously from the area of ​​the window opening 8 into the area of ​​the door interior 9. Here, and preferably, the window guide 5 is thus formed continuously, in particular in one piece. "Continuous" here means uninterrupted.

[0023] When the motor vehicle door 1 is installed, the window guide 5 guides the window pane 4 not only along section A of the window opening 8, but also along a section B in the door interior 9. This improves the guidance of the window pane 4 and reduces the load on a window pane drive (not shown). Furthermore, this results in an improvement in the damping behavior of the window guide 5, particularly when the motor vehicle door 1 slams shut. The acoustics during slamming are improved.

[0024] The window guide receptacle 15 preferably accommodates the window guide 5 over a length of at least 5 cm, preferably at least 10 cm, more preferably at least 15 cm.
