Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a tail lamp assembly for a tailgate of a vehicle, and to a tailgate and a vehicle as such.Conventionally, lamps for tail lamps, provided they are attached to or in a vehicle rear flap, are attached to a mounting surface which runs perpendicularly in the vehicle vertical extension direction Z and is situated behind the lamp body in the vehicle longitudinal extension direction X.The problem with such an assembly is that the distance between the fastening on the body, i.e. on the tailgate, is comparatively far apart from a joint which, in the assembled state, results above the luminaire body in the vehicle vertical extension direction towards the tailgate. In conventional assembly, the problem may arise that the joint does not have a constant dimension in the transverse extension direction, but varies due to the expansion of the luminaire and its weight, thereby creating an aesthetic shortcoming, which may be further reinforced by the flap's addition.DE 10 2018 210 222 A1 relates to a motor vehicle comprising a body, a vehicle part, and a spring bolt for fastening the vehicle part in a receptacle of the body, wherein the axis of rotation of the spring bolt is arranged such that it has exactly one intersection point with an XY plane of the motor vehicle.DE 197 41 522 A1 proposes a premountable structural unit for a body of a motor vehicle, which structural unit comprises a holding device and a plurality of assemblies arranged thereon, in particular lamp units and signal devices. The lamp units are fixed to the holding device without play and in a vibration-proof manner by relatively inexpensive pin-link connections. These pin-link connections can be produced without a special tool, can be detached again at any time, are not subject to wear and are easily accessible from the outside in the assembled state of the structural unit. This simplifies the assembly and disassembly of the lamp unit.DE 10 2012 020 795 A1 describes a vehicle light for installation in a vehicle body, having a housing and a structural strut which is flexibly connected to the housing and is designed to reinforce the vehicle body by connecting two body parts.U.S. Pat. No. 6,695,396 B1 discloses an adjustable mounting arrangement for a vehicle, which comprises a holder for connection to a first vehicle part and a tab portion for connection to a second vehicle part, which is received by the holder. The adjustable mounting assembly also includes an adjustable mechanism between the tab portion and the bracket that serves as a temporary retaining device and prevents the tab portion from exiting the bracket after a position of the first vehicle part and the second vehicle part is adjusted to a desired position relative to each other.DE 10 2007 006 218 B4 proposes a fastening arrangement for a luminaire on a vehicle, in which the luminaire is arranged in a recess on a body outer part and is detachably connected thereto and has a luminaire housing with a light pane covering a light outlet opening, characterized in that a luminaire support plate for the suspended arrangement of the luminaire is arranged on the body outer part, in that sliding guide means which are assigned to one another and can be brought into engagement with one another and are assigned to said light support plate and on the upper side of the luminaire and which simultaneously serve as a holding means for the luminaire and by means of said sliding guide means the luminaire can be pushed into a desired position in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and in that the luminaire support plate is provided with a locking lever which, in operative connection with a locking element arranged on the luminaire, secures the desired position.DE 10 2005 053 423 A1 relates to a fastening device for fastening a headlight to a motor vehicle, having means for holding a headlight housing and having means for attaching the fastening device to a part of the motor vehicle, which means are designed in such a way that the fastening device can be adjusted at least in one direction relative to the part of the motor vehicle before fastening to the part of the motor vehicle.The invention is based on the object of providing a tail light arrangement with which installation on or in a tailgate can be ensured without varying the width of a joint between the light body and the tailgate by means of the simplest possible means.The object on which the invention is based is achieved in a tail light arrangement according to the invention alternatively with the features of claims 1, 3 and 4, in a tailgate according to the invention with the features of claim 7 and in a vehicle according to the invention with the features of claim 8. Advantageous refinements are the subject matter of the respective dependent claims.According to the present invention, a tail lamp arrangement for a tailgate of a vehicle is provided, which is formed with a lamp body and with a fastening device, wherein the fastening device is formed for fastening the lamp body with a substantially horizontal surface, which is upper in a vehicle vertical extension direction, as a lamp body-side mounting surface on a substantially horizontal surface of the tailgate as a tailgate-side mounting surface and thus for mounting the lamp body close to the joint on the tailgate with respect to a joint, which in the mounted state of the lamp body lies between the tailgate and the lamp body and in the vehicle vertical extension direction lies above the lamp body.

Identical and equivalent elements and components acting in the same or equivalent manner are denoted by the same reference numerals. Not in any case of their occurrence will the detailed description of the designated elements and components be reproduced.The features and further properties shown can be isolated from one another in any desired form and combined with one another in any desired manner without departing from the scope of the invention.First, reference is made generally to Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13-14.In connection with the FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 to 14 described below, X denotes a vehicle longitudinal extension direction which is aligned in particular parallel to the x direction, Y denotes a vehicle transverse extension direction which is aligned in particular parallel to the y direction, and Z denotes a vehicle vertical extension direction which is aligned in particular parallel to the z direction.Shown in each case in a schematic manner is a vehicle 1 having a body 2 which has a tailgate 3 as a body component, wherein a tail lamp 100' on the basis of a tail lamp arrangement 100 configured according to the invention is to be mounted or mounted on and / or in the tailgate 3.According to a first aspect of the present invention, therefore, in particular a tail lamp arrangement 100 for a tailgate 3 of the vehicle 1 is provided, which is formed with a lamp body 10 and with a fastening device 20.The fastening device 20 is configured to fasten the luminaire body 10 having a surface 10- 1 which is substantially horizontal with respect to the xy directions and upper in the vehicle vertical extension direction Z as a luminaire body-side mounting surface 10- 2 to a likewise substantially horizontal surface 3- 1 of the tailgate 3 as a tailgate-side mounting surface 3- 2.As a result, installation and fastening of the luminaire body 10 on the tailgate 3 close to the joint is possible, specifically with respect to a joint 4 which, in the installed state of the luminaire body 10, lies between the tailgate 3 and the luminaire body 10 and above the luminaire body 10 in the vehicle vertical extension direction Z.As has already been described above, the luminaire body 10 is therefore mounted-instead of conventionally only on a surface 3- 5 which is substantially perpendicular with respect to the vehicle longitudinal extension direction X and vehicle transverse extension direction Y as a possible mounting surface-according to the invention additionally and first on a substantially horizontal or horizontal mounting surface 3- 2 with an upper side of the luminaire body 10 as a luminaire body-side mounting surface 10- 2 and thus close to the relevant joint 4 between luminaire body 10 and tailgate 3 above the luminaire body 10, wherein with respect to the terms horizontal and horizontal reference is made in each case to a plane parallel to the x direction of the y direction, i.e. the vehicle longitudinal extension direction X of the vehicle transverse extension direction Y.In this way, as mentioned, by means of corresponding stops in the direction of vertical extension or Z-direction automatically fulfilled by the mounting means in the sense of the fastening means 21, 22, the joint 4 in question between the luminaire body 10 and the tailgate 3 above the luminaire body 10 can be adjusted in a constant manner and / or exactly, wherein stops to be additionally provided in the direction of vehicle longitudinal extension X or x-direction are also and will be automatically fulfilled by the mounting means 21, 22.The fastening device formed according to the invention can have a first and lamp body-side fastening means 21, which can be pre-mounted or pre-mounted on and in the lamp body-side mounting surface 10- 2, and a second and tailgate-side fastening means 22, which can be pre-mounted or pre-mounted on and in the tailgate-side mounting surface 3- 2 of the tailgate 3.Preferably, a single pair of mutually associated mounting surfaces is used here, i.e. according to the invention a pair of mounting surfaces 3- 2, 10- 2 aligned substantially horizontally or horizontally and associated with one another for fastening purposes. In this sense, the tail lamp arrangement 100 according to the invention for fastening the lamp body 10 to the tailgate 3 via the mounting surfaces 10- 2, 3- 2 on the lamp body side and on the tailgate side assigned to one another is designed as a single mounting surface and in proximity to the joint 4 with respect to the joint.FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 to 14 now show in detail various more specific aspects of different embodiments of the tail light arrangement 100 according to the invention.In connection with FIGS. 1 to 4 and 6, an embodiment of the tail light arrangement 100 according to the invention is shown, in which the tail gate-side fastening means 22 on and / or in the tail gate-side mounting surface 3- 2 comprises one or more elements 40, in particular made of plastic. The associated lamp body-side fastening means 21 on and / or in the lamp body-side mounting surface 10- 2 correspondingly has one or more correspondingly associated tabs 35 or undercut profiles 35. The one or more tabs 35 or undercut profiles 35 are designed to engage in the one or more elements 40 on and / or in the mounting surface 3- 2 on the tailgate side during or for mounting in a vehicle longitudinal extension direction X as mounting direction.In comparison, Figure 5 shows aspects of a known attachment of a conventional luminaire 10' with a mounting on a perpendicular surface 3-5 at a large distance from the joint 4.In connection with FIGS. 7, 8, 9 to 10, an embodiment of the tail light arrangement 100 according to the invention is shown, in which the tail gate-side fastening means 22 has a rail 30 or mounting rail 30, which is pre-assembled with one or more screw connections 31, for example in the manner of bayonet screw connections, on and / or in the tail gate-side mounting surface 3- 2 and above the luminaire body 10 or a provided position of the luminaire body 10.The lamp body-side fastening means 21 on and / or in the lamp body-side mounting surface 10- 2 has a tab 35 and / or an undercut profile 35, which is formed in the vehicle longitudinal extension direction X as a mounting direction for engaging into the rail 30 and engages into the rail 30 in the mounted state.The bayonet parts or elements 31 supporting the rail 30 may be pre-assembled in the rail 30 so that the bayonet elements 31 automatically have the correct orientation to the sheet metal.In this connection, an orientation nose can be seen at the bottom right in FIG. 8. This can also be seen in FIG. 9. In the delivery state, the bayonet parts 31 are clipped with the noses at 3 o'clock, in each case to the right.The elements 40 on or in the mounting surface 3- 2 on the tailgate side can also be designed as shoulder screws 41, as explained in connection with FIG. 11, or as clip 42, as explained in connection with FIG. 12.According to FIG. 11, in one embodiment of the tail light arrangement 100 according to the invention, the light body-side fastening means 21 on or in the light body-side mounting surface 10- 2 can have an undercut profile 35 or a tab 35, whereas the tailgate-side fastening means 22 on or in the tailgate-side mounting surface 3- 2 has a shoulder screw 41 which is formed and screwed or screwable with a head and against the tailgate-side mounting surface 3- 2 in such a way that the light body 10 with the undercut profile 35 or the tab 35 can be pushed onto the head of the shoulder screw 41 in the direction of longitudinal extent of the vehicle X as the mounting direction and is pushed onto it in the mounted state.In connection with FIGS. 13 and 14, it is shown that the tail light arrangement 100 according to the invention can have one or more screw connection holes 50 on and / or in the tailgate-side mounting surface 3- 2 in another embodiment as tailgate-side fastening means 22, wherein the luminaire body-side fastening means 21 correspondingly has one or more threads or nut threads 51 on and / or in the luminaire body-side mounting surface 3- 2, for example mediated via a screw connection 52 by body shell according to FIG. 13 or a blind rivet nut 53.In particular, FIG. 14 shows a similar or identical arrangement in the interface to the luminaire or to the luminaire body 10 as in the arrangement according to FIG. 11 with a shoulder screw, namely with the difference that any nut threads are produced by riveting in the blind rivet nuts only during assembly, whereas in the arrangement according to FIG. 11 the nut threads can be provided or can be provided directly in the body shell by a local reinforcing plate with pre-mounted press-in nuts.These and other features and characteristics of the present invention will be further explained in the following descriptions:On vehicles 1, tail lamps 10 are directly or indirectly connected to the outer skin or inner structure of tailgates 3 of the body 2.The corresponding connection points are substantially located on a perpendicularly extending surface 3- 5 of the tailgate 3 and behind the respective luminaire 10, i.e. directed forward in the vehicle longitudinal extension direction X. The conventional lamps 10 may be provided with measures for pressing upward in the high-extension direction or Z direction of the vehicle 1 against stoppers.As a rule, during assembly, a particular notice is placed on a joint between luminaire 10 and tailgate 3, which is located above luminaire 10. Here, greatly restricted tolerances must be observed. Z stops of the luminaire 10, i.e. stops of the luminaire 10 on the tailgate 3 in the height direction or height direction Z of the vehicle 1, therefore have to be pressed conventionally to bear. In order to ensure this, measures must be taken either in or on the vertical attachment surface or on an opposite-e.g. lower-side of the luminaire 10 in order to press the luminaire 10 elastically upwards. In lamps 10 having a large depth, i.e., a large extent, in the vehicle longitudinal direction or X direction, but having a small height in the Z direction, it becomes particularly difficult to provide effective measures against the gravity-induced inclination of the lamp to sack downward.Problematic aspects, however, conventionally result not only from the action of gravity, but also from tolerance deviations in the vertical connecting surface, problematic situations. Small deviations of individual contact points in the X direction, which are arranged closely together, are not only transmitted one-to-one, but even reinforced, by a greater lever length in the distance from the vertical connecting surface to the joint 4. If the contact points in the X direction on the vertical connecting surface lie one above the other, for example, at a height of 40 mm and there is a tolerance deviation of 0.5 mm between them in the X direction, and the luminaire 10 is 80 mm long, for example, in the X up to the joint 4, the deviation in the Z direction in the width of the joint 4 will be not only 0.5 mm, but 1 mm, for example, because the luminaire 10 is effectively twice longer than high.That is, not only elasticity and gravity are problematic, but also increased tolerance sensitivity due to the geometric relationships.This problem is considerably increased by the flap addition. On the one hand, the center of gravity of the luminaire 10 is situated at a great distance from fastening and supporting points, on the other hand, the ratio of the height difference of the alignment points on the perpendicular surface to the length difference of the Z-clip-off points and the joint 4 is so unfavorable that even small rotations of the luminaire cause great changes in the joint 4, i.e. the joint gap then varies more spatially.Furthermore, it can occur that surfaces underneath the luminaire 10 are offset forward in the X direction so much that the lower region of the luminaire 10 lies free in the air opposite the joint 4. Supporting the luminaire 10 becomes ineffective.According to the invention, the luminaire 10 is held above the luminaire 10 close to the joint by at least one fastening against the flap structure 3. The attachment is suitable for holding both compressive and tensile forces. A support from a further or widely spaced vertical fastening region 3- 5 or from an opposite structure is no longer required.The luminaire 10 is attached to at least one point in the vicinity of the joint 4 in the Z-direction and is suspended there in a quasi-hanging manner. In the case of a plurality of fastening or suspension points, separate Z contact points can be dispensed with. The luminaire 10 is fastened and aligned essentially by Z suspension points upwards and X supports in the X direction and thus forwards.Details of various embodiments which specify the basic principle in more detail are given in the following illustration: (1) In a variant of the present invention, a rail 30 is pre-assembled, for example with bayonet screw connections 31, to a horizontal surface 3- 1 of the tailgate 3 as a mounting surface 3- 2 on the tailgate side above the luminaire 10 and thus close to the joint. The luminaire 10 has a tab 35 which engages in the rail 30 in the mounting direction or X direction. (2) According to another variant, one or more shoulder screws are screwed against the horizontal surface 3- 1 of the flap 3 above the luminaire 10 in such a way that the head or heads of the shoulder screws allow the luminaire 10 to be pushed on during assembly with an undercut profile 35 in the assembly direction, i.e. the X direction. (3) The luminaire housings 10 have an undercut geometry 35 at its upper and / or rear end, which geometry can or can engage as a bayonet, for example, linearly directly into one hole or a plurality of holes in the horizontal surface 3- 1 as a mounting surface 3- 2 on the tailgate side of the flap 3 above the luminaire 10 during mounting. (4) Alternatively or additionally, one or more plastic elements 40 are placed in the horizontal surface 3- 1 of the tailgate 3 above the luminaire 10 close to the joint and thus pre-assembled. The luminaire 10 accordingly has one or more straps 35 which engage in the plastic elements 40 as mounting direction in the X direction. (5) In another alternative, the luminaire 10 is provided with a nut thread at one or more locations. After assembly, the light is screwed close to the joint through a hole 50 into the horizontal surface 3- 1 of the tailgate 3 above the light 10.List of reference numbers:1 Vehicle 2 Body 3 Tailgate 3- 1 (substantially) horizontal (upper) surface of the tailgate 3 3- 2 Tailgate-side mounting surface 3- 5 Vertical surface of the tailgate 3 4 Joint 10 Luminaire body 10' Conventional luminaire body 10- 1 (substantially) horizontal (upper) surface of the luminaire body 10 10- 2 Luminaire-body-side mounting surface 20 Fastening device 21 First, luminaire-body-side fastening means 22 Second, tailgate-side fastening means 30 Rail, mounting rail (tailgate-side 31 Screw connection, bayonet screw connection (tailgate-side) 35 Tab, undercut profile, undercut geometry (luminaire-body-side) 40 Element, plastic element 41 Shoulder screw 42 Clip 50 Hole, screw connection hole 51 Thread, nut thread 52 Screw connection, Screw element 53 blind rivet nut 100 rear lamp arrangement 100' rear lamp x spatial direction X vehicle longitudinal extension direction y spatial direction Y vehicle transverse extension direction z spatial direction Z vehicle vertical extension direction
