Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a passenger car according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] Such a passenger car is known, for example, from DE 10 2010 025 213 A1 and comprises a vehicle roof, a passenger compartment in which at least one driver (male / female / diverse) can sit, and a rear cargo space which, with respect to a vehicle height direction, is delimited downwards by a cargo space floor and upwards by the vehicle roof, and which, in a vehicle longitudinal direction, is delimited to the front by the passenger compartment and to the rear by a cargo space opening. The passenger car is further equipped with a tailgate for closing the cargo space opening, which is pivotally mounted on the vehicle roof. Furthermore, the passenger car is equipped with a cargo space cover, which serves to cover the cargo space upwards with respect to the vehicle height direction. The cargo space cover has a double cassette that is attached to side walls that delimit the cargo space with respect to a vehicle transverse direction.The double cassette is positioned between the rear compartment floor and the vehicle roof in the vehicle's vertical direction, and between the passenger compartment and the load compartment opening in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. The load compartment cover has a front roller blind located in the double cassette, which can be extended forwards from the double cassette towards the passenger compartment. Furthermore, the load compartment cover has a rear roller blind located in the double cassette, which can be extended rearwards from the double cassette towards the load compartment opening. When the roller blinds are extended, the load compartment is covered from above by the roller blinds and is therefore not visible, particularly through a rear window located in the tailgate. This increases theft protection.

[0003] In the passenger car known from the above-mentioned DE 10 2010 025 213 A1, the load compartment cover is designed such that a rear end of the rear roller blind can be detachably connected to the side walls in the area of ​​the load compartment floor. As a result, when the roller blinds are extended, the load compartment is covered even when the tailgate is open and is not visible from behind or above, but is also inaccessible. In modern passenger cars, the tailgate can be opened remotely using an electric motor to increase comfort. This is particularly advantageous when the driver is carrying loads that they want to store in the load compartment with their hands. In the known passenger car, however, when the roller blinds are extended, the load compartment is not accessible even when the tailgate is open, so the aforementioned advantage of increasing comfort is lost.

[0004] DE 102 08 642 A1 discloses a load compartment cover with a double cassette. This cover is configured so that the rear end of the rear roller blind can be detachably attached to the side walls at the height of the double cassette, relative to the vehicle's height. This means that when the roller blind is extended, the rear end of the rear roller blind is above the load compartment floor. When the tailgate is open, the load compartment is accessible from the rear. This provides a certain increase in comfort. However, loads that are greater than the distance between the load compartment floor and the rear roller blind, relative to the vehicle's height, cannot be inserted into the load compartment from the rear without first retracting the rear roller blind into the double cassette.

[0005] The same applies to the load compartment cover with double cassette known from EP 1 852 311 A1.

[0006] DE 10 2010 050 378 A1 discloses a load compartment cover with a single cassette, wherein the single cassette contains only a single roller blind which can be extended rearwards towards the load compartment opening. The rear end of the rear roller blind is connected to the tailgate. In addition, the single cassette is held on the side walls and can be adjusted lengthwise along the vehicle. When the roller blind is extended and the tailgate is closed, the single cassette is located at the front end of the load compartment, i.e. in the passenger compartment. When the tailgate is opened, the single cassette is adjusted rearwards along the vehicle's lengthwise direction. When the tailgate is open, the load compartment is then accessible from behind and from above. However, this results in a structurally complex design for the implementation of the single cassette which is adjustable lengthwise.

[0007] The present invention addresses the problem of providing an improved or at least a different embodiment for a passenger car of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in particular by increased comfort with a comparatively simple to implement construction.

[0008] This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are the subject matter of the dependent claims.

[0009] The invention is based on the general idea of ​​coupling the rear roller blind to the tailgate in a load compartment cover with a double cassette and dimensioning it so that the rear roller blind can be extended further out of the double cassette when the tailgate is opened. This ensures that, when the tailgate is open, the loading space below the rear roller blind is accessible from above for loading and unloading. This results in increased comfort with a load compartment cover with a double cassette. In particular, objects that are higher than the vertical distance between the load compartment floor and the rear roller blind when the tailgate is closed can be placed on the load compartment floor. At the same time, the technical implementation is comparatively simple, which enables cost-effective implementation.

[0010] Specifically, the invention proposes that a rear end of the rear roller blind be detachably connected to the tailgate, wherein the load compartment cover is configured such that the rear roller blind connected to the tailgate extends further out of the double cassette when the tailgate is opened, specifically such that the loading space is accessible from above below the rear roller blind when the tailgate is open, in particular for loading and unloading. Thus, the rear roller blind is dimensioned in particular so large or long that it can follow the pivoting movement of the tailgate when it is opened until it is in the open position, and is thereby continuously pulled further out of the double cassette.

[0011] In the present context, a ‘configuration’ is synonymous with a ‘design’ and / or ‘arrangement’, so that the phrase ‘configured so that’ is synonymous with the phrase ‘designed and / or arranged so that’.

[0012] According to an advantageous embodiment, the rear roller blind can be adjustable relative to the side walls such that, when the tailgate is open, the rear roller blind connected to the tailgate extends essentially in a straight line from the tailgate to the double cassette. In other words, the side walls are contoured such that they do not hinder the adjustment of the rear roller blind when the tailgate is opened and closed, so that the rear roller blind, with its side edges facing away from each other in the vehicle's transverse direction and each facing one of the two side walls, can move freely along the respective side wall. This supports low-wear operation and safe functioning of the load compartment cover. Furthermore, when the tailgate is open, a comparatively large access area from above into the load compartment is created.

[0013] In another embodiment, a front end of the front roller blind can be adjustably arranged in side rails formed in or on the side walls. These rails provide secure guidance for the front roller blind. This enables reliable operation of the load compartment cover.

[0014] A practical design is one in which each side rail has an electric drive for adjusting the front end of the front roller blind along the respective side rail. This allows the front roller blind to be electrically retracted and extended, further increasing comfort.

[0015] According to an advantageous embodiment, the double cassette can be detachably attached to the side walls in such a way that the double cassette can be removed from the side walls and stowed in the cargo area when the front roller blind and the rear roller blind are retracted. Removing the double cassette from the cargo area removes the upper limitation of the cargo area created by the double cassette or the roller blinds between the cargo area floor and the vehicle roof. This makes it possible, in particular, to load the cargo area from the cargo area floor to the vehicle roof.

[0016] A recess can be conveniently formed in the load compartment floor, creating a storage compartment for the double cassette removed from the side walls. A storage compartment in the load compartment floor, configured to accommodate the double cassette, allows the double cassette with the roller blinds to be stored in the load compartment floor when the load compartment cover is not needed, saving space without sacrificing storage space within the load compartment.

[0017] For practical purposes, the load compartment floor can be equipped with a cover flap to conceal the storage compartment, flush with the load compartment floor. This ensures that the storage compartment does not interfere with the load compartment floor, making loading and unloading particularly convenient.

[0018] The double cassette is expediently arranged in a central region between the loading compartment opening and the passenger compartment with respect to the vehicle's longitudinal direction, so that it is spaced apart from both the loading compartment opening and the passenger compartment in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. Likewise, the double cassette is expediently arranged in a central region between the loading compartment floor and the vehicle roof with respect to the vehicle's vertical direction, so that it is spaced apart from both the loading compartment floor and the vehicle roof.

[0019] According to an advantageous embodiment, the double cassette can be arranged closer to the loading space opening than to the passenger compartment with respect to the vehicle's longitudinal direction. In other words, a distance measured in the vehicle's longitudinal direction between the double cassette and the loading space opening is smaller than a distance measured in the vehicle's longitudinal direction between the double cassette and the passenger compartment. This ensures that the rear roller blind connected to the tailgate has a comparatively large angle relative to the horizontal direction when the tailgate is open, which improves accessibility from above to the loading space below the rear roller blind.

[0020] The double cassette can have a front spring drive that interacts with the front roller blind and is tensioned when the front roller blind is extended. The tensioned front spring drive creates a pre-tension that drives the front roller blind into the double cassette. This simplifies manual retraction of the front roller blind into the double cassette. It also supports electric motor-driven retraction of the roller blind into the double cassette.

[0021] In another embodiment, the double cassette can have a rear spring drive that interacts with the rear roller blind and is tensioned when the rear roller blind is extended. The tensioned rear spring drive creates a pre-tension that drives the rear roller blind to retract into the double cassette. This pre-tension simplifies the manual retraction of the rear roller blind into the double cassette when the rear roller blind is released from the tailgate.

[0022] Further important features and advantages of the invention emerge from the subclaims, from the drawings and from the associated description of the figures based on the drawings.

[0023] It is understood that the features mentioned above and those to be explained below can be used not only in the respective combination specified, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims. Components mentioned above and those to be mentioned below of a higher-level unit, such as a device, apparatus, or arrangement, which are designated separately, may form separate parts or components of this unit or be integral areas or sections of this unit, even if this is shown differently in the drawings.

[0024] Preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and are explained in more detail in the following description, wherein the same reference numerals refer to the same or similar or functionally identical components.

[0025] They show, schematically, Fig. 1 to 5 each show a highly simplified basic side view of a passenger car in the area of ​​a load compartment cover under different conditions.

[0026] According to the Fig. 1 to 5, a passenger car 1 comprises a vehicle roof 2, a passenger compartment 3, a rear loading compartment 4, a tailgate 5 and a loading compartment cover 6. The vehicle 1 defines a vehicle longitudinal direction X, a vehicle transverse direction Y and a vehicle height direction Z, which run perpendicular to each other. Fig. 1 to 5, the vehicle longitudinal direction X extends horizontally, while the vehicle height direction Z extends vertically. The vehicle transverse direction Y is in the Fig. 1 to 5 perpendicular to the drawing plane.

[0027] The vehicle roof 2 defines the upper boundary of the passenger compartment 3 and the cargo compartment 4 relative to the vehicle height direction Z. The passenger compartment 3 serves to accommodate at least one passenger (male / female / diverse), whereby a driver of the vehicle 1 is also considered a passenger. The passenger compartment 3 borders the cargo compartment 4 via a row of seats 7, wherein the row of seats 7 has at least one vehicle seat. The row of seats 7 can be a front row of seats, particularly in a two-seater vehicle. The row of seats 7 can also be a rear row of seats, particularly in a four- or five-seater vehicle.

[0028] The loading space 4 is bounded downwards by a loading space floor 8 and upwards by the vehicle roof 2 with respect to the vehicle height direction Z. Furthermore, the loading space 4 is bounded in the vehicle longitudinal direction X to the front by the passenger compartment 3 and to the rear by a loading space opening 9.

[0029] In the present context, the relative location specifications "top" and "bottom" refer to the vehicle height direction Z, such that "bottom" faces the loading compartment floor 8, while "top" faces away from the loading compartment floor 8. The relative location specifications "front" and "rear" refer in the present context to the vehicle longitudinal direction X, such that "rear" faces the rear of the vehicle, while "front" faces away from the rear of the vehicle.

[0030] The tailgate 5 serves to close the loading space opening 9. For this purpose, the tailgate 5 is pivotally mounted on the vehicle roof 2 about a pivot axis 10 running parallel to the vehicle transverse direction Y between a closed position for closing the loading space opening 9 and an open position for opening or releasing the loading space opening 9. Fig. 1 shows the closed position of the tailgate 5. The Fig. 3 to 5 show the open position of tailgate 5. Fig. 2 shows an intermediate position of the tailgate 5, which the tailgate 5 moves through when opening or closing.

[0031] The load compartment cover 6 serves to cover the load compartment 4 upwards with respect to the vehicle height direction Z. For this purpose, the load compartment cover 6 has a double cassette 11 which is fastened to side walls 12 which delimit the load compartment 4 with respect to the vehicle transverse direction Y. The double cassette 11 is arranged in the vehicle height direction Z in a central region between the load compartment floor 8 and the vehicle roof 2, such that the double cassette 11 is spaced apart from both the load compartment floor 8 and the vehicle roof 2. Furthermore, the double cassette 11 is arranged in a central region between the passenger compartment 3 and the load compartment opening 9 with respect to the vehicle longitudinal direction X, such that the double cassette 11 is spaced apart from both the passenger compartment 3 and the load compartment opening 9 in the vehicle longitudinal direction X. The load compartment cover 6 has a front roller blind 13 and a rear roller blind 14. The front roller blind 13 is in the double cassette 11 for rolling up and unrolling orarranged or mounted for winding up and unwinding. A front roller blind axis (not shown here) around which the front roller blind 13 can be rolled up or unrolled extends parallel to the vehicle transverse direction Y. The front roller blind 13 can be extended forwards in the direction of the passenger compartment 3 from the double cassette 11. The rear roller blind 14 is also arranged in the double cassette 11 or mounted for winding up and unwinding. The rear roller blind 14 can be rolled up and picked up in particular around a corresponding rear roller blind axis (not shown here) which extends parallel to the vehicle transverse direction Y. The rear roller blind 14 can be extended rearwards out of the double cassette 11 towards the loading space opening 9. When extending out of the double cassette 11, the respective roller blind 13, 14 is unwound or unrolled. When retracting into the double cassette 11, the respective roller blind 13, 14 is wound up or rolled up.The double cassette 11 can have a common receiving space for the two roller blinds 13, 14, in which both roller blinds 13, 14 are mounted so they can rotate about their respective roller blind axes. Alternatively, the double cassette 11 can have two separate receiving spaces for the two roller blinds 13, 14, in which each roller blind 13, 14 is mounted so they can rotate about its respective roller blind axis.

[0032] In the passenger car 1 presented here, a rear end 15 of the rear roller blind 14 can be detachably connected to the tailgate 5. In the states of Fig. 1 to 3, the rear end 15 of the rear roller blind 14 is connected to the tailgate 5. In the states of Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the rear end 15 of the rear roller blind 14 is detached from the tailgate 5. The load compartment cover 6 is also configured such that the rear roller blind 14 connected to the tailgate 5 extends further out of the double cassette 11 when the tailgate 5 is opened, in such a way that the loading space 4 below the rear roller blind 14 is accessible from above when the tailgate 5 is open, so that a rear area 4' of the loading space 4 located below the rear roller blind 14 can be loaded and unloaded from above.

[0033] Fig. 1 shows a state in which the tailgate 5 assumes its closed position and closes the loading space opening 9. The rear roller blind 14 is connected to the tailgate 5 at its rear end 15 and thus covers the rear area 4' of the loading space 4 located below the rear roller blind 14. In Fig. 1, the front roller blind 13 is also extended so that the front roller blind 13 covers a front area 4" of the loading space 4 located below it.

[0034] Fig. 2 shows a state when opening or closing the tailgate 5, in which the tailgate 5 is between the closed position according to Fig. 1 and the disclosure pursuant to Fig. 3. It can be seen that the rear end 15 of the rear roller blind 14, which is connected to the tailgate 5, follows the pivoting movement of the tailgate 5 and thereby pulls the rear roller blind 14 out of the double cassette 11. This increases the length of the rear roller blind 14 measured in the extension direction.

[0035] In Fig. 3 shows a state in which the tailgate 5 is fully pivoted open, so that the tailgate 5 assumes its oven position. As a result, the connected rear roller blind 14 is fully extended from the double cassette 11. Here, the rear roller blind 14 has its maximum length in the extension direction. It can be seen that the rear area 4' of the cargo space 4, located below the rear roller blind 14, is now accessible from behind and from above when the tailgate 5 is open and the rear roller blind 14 is pivoted. This simplifies loading and unloading of the cargo space 4.

[0036] The load compartment cover 6 is expediently configured such that the rear roller blind 14 is adjustable relative to the side walls 12 such that, when the tailgate 5 is open, the rear roller blind 14 connected to the tailgate 5 extends substantially rectilinearly from the tailgate 5 to the double cassette 11. It is clear that a certain sagging of the rear roller blind 14 in the extended state is unavoidable due to gravity, so that the rectilinear extension of the rear roller blind 14 between the double cassette 11 and the tailgate 5 may be slightly curved and thus deviate from an exact mathematical straight line.In any case, the side walls 12 are configured such that they do not represent an obstacle to the relative movement of the rear roller blind 14, so that the rear roller blind 14 can move unhindered along the side walls 12 with its side edges facing the side walls 12 in the vehicle transverse direction Y and facing away from each other in the vehicle transverse direction Y.

[0037] A front end 16 of the front roller blind 13 can be adjustably arranged in side rails 17 that are formed in or on the side walls 12. For example, the front end 16 of the front roller blind 13 can have a pin at each of its transverse ends, which engages in the respective side rail 17 in the vehicle transverse direction Y. This ensures precise guidance of the front roller blind 13 in the respective side rail 17. According to an advantageous embodiment, the respective side rail 17 can be configured as a drive rail equipped with an electric drive (not shown in detail here) for adjusting the front end 16 of the front roller blind 13 along the respective side rail 17. The respective drive can, for example, have an electric motor that is connected to the front end 16 of the front roller blind 13 via a positive or non-positive connection, e.g. a cable, a shaft, or a chain.To extend the front roller blind 13 from the double cassette 11 or to retract the front roller blind 13 into the double cassette 11, the electric motor drives the front end 16 of the front roller blind 13 along the respective side rail 17 in the vehicle's longitudinal direction X via a positive or non-positive connection, e.g. a cable, a shaft, or a chain. If the front end 16 is moved forward, the front roller blind 13 extends out of the double cassette 11. If, however, the front end 16 is moved backward, the front roller blind 13 retracts into the double cassette 11.

[0038] According to the Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the double cassette 11 can be detachably attached to the side walls 12. Preferably, a manually operable fastening technique is used, which allows for easy manual fastening and detachment. This allows the double cassette 11 to be removed from the side walls 12 when the front roller blind 13 and rear roller blind 14 are retracted and stowed, for example, in the cargo area 4. Fig. Figure 4 shows a state in which, with the tailgate 5 open, the rear roller blind 14 has been detached from the tailgate 5 and retracted into the double cassette 11. Furthermore, the front roller blind 13 is retracted into the double cassette 11. The double cassette 11 can now be removed from the side walls 12 with the roller blinds 13, 14 retracted into it.

[0039] According to the Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, a recess 18 may be formed in the loading space floor 8, forming a storage compartment 19 configured to receive the double cassette 11 removed from the side walls 12. In Fig. 5, the double cassette 11 is inserted into the storage compartment 19, whereby the unused load compartment cover 6 is stowed in a space-saving manner and without impairing the load compartment 4. According to the Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the loading compartment floor 8 can expediently have a cover flap 20, with the aid of which the storage compartment 19 can be covered flush with the loading compartment floor 8. This allows the loading compartment 4 to be used without obstruction despite the storage compartment 19. In particular, the storage compartment 19 does not form an obstructive contour on the loading compartment floor 8.

[0040] As explained above, the double cassette 11 is arranged in a central area of ​​the loading space 4 between the passenger compartment 3 and the loading space opening 9 with respect to the vehicle's longitudinal direction X. The position of the double cassette 11 is fixed or rigid with respect to the vehicle's longitudinal direction X. Adjustability of the double cassette 11 in the vehicle's longitudinal direction X is not provided; rather, the position of the double cassette 11 with respect to the vehicle's longitudinal direction X is selected within the scope of the design such that the rear roller blind 14 can be raised with sufficient clearance to the loading space opening 9 through the tailgate 5. Fig. 1 shows an embodiment in which the double cassette 11 is arranged closer to the passenger compartment 3 than to the loading compartment opening 9. Fig. Figure 2 shows an embodiment in which the double cassette 11 has essentially the same distance from the passenger compartment 3 and from the loading space opening 9. In contrast, the Fig. 3 to 5 each show an embodiment in which the double cassette 11 is arranged closer to the loading space opening 9 than to the passenger compartment 3. By positioning the double cassette 11 closer to the loading space opening 9, the Fig. 3 an angle 21, with which the rear roller blind 14 connected to the tailgate 5 is pivoted relative to the vehicle's longitudinal direction X when the tailgate 5 is open. This enables particularly convenient access to the loading space 4 from above.

[0041] The double cassette 11 can have a front spring drive (not shown here) that interacts with the front roller blind 13 and is tensioned when the front roller blind 13 is extended. The tensioned front spring drive drives the front roller blind 13 to retract into the double cassette 11. This simplifies the manual retraction of the front roller blind 13 into the double cassette 11. The retraction of the front roller blind 13 is also assisted if it is driven by an electric motor in the side rails 17. The double cassette 11 can also have a rear spring drive (not shown here) that interacts with the rear roller blind 14 and is tensioned when the rear roller blind 14 is extended. The tensioned rear spring drive generates a pre-tension that drives the rear roller blind 14 to retract into the double cassette 11. This pre-tension retracts the connected rear roller blind 14 into the double cassette 11, for example when the tailgate 5 is closed.This ensures that the rear roller blind 14 always remains taut.
