Description

[0001]ZENZ Patentanwälte · Gutenbergstr. 39 · D-45128 Essen H01440WO AZ Motor vehicle handle assembly The invention relates to a motor vehicle handle assembly, comprising a handle support which can be fastened to a motor vehicle door, a deployment lever which is pivotally mounted on the handle support about a pivot axis and which is designed to be arranged in a rest position and in an operating position, and a handle which has a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end and which can be moved between a retracted position in which the handle is arranged flush with an outer side of the motor vehicle door, and an extended position in which the handle is arranged in an extension direction relative to the outer side of the motor vehicle door for manual operation.is designed to be movable. Such motor vehicle handle assemblies with a handle that is arranged flush or flush with the outside of a motor vehicle door in a retracted position and is arranged parallel to the outside of the motor vehicle door in an extended position are known from the prior art. For safety reasons, such known motor vehicle handle assemblies have a variety of locking systems to prevent unwanted extension of the handle and unwanted actuation of the handle to open the motor vehicle door as a result of acceleration forces acting on the handle. These locking systems are referred to as crash locks and have, for example, a weight element to counteract an acceleration force acting on the handle in the event of a vehicle accident, such as in the event of a vehicle accident, and to hold the handle in a position,in which the vehicle door is not opened. Such weight elements, which are intended to compensate for the acting acceleration force, are attached, for example, to a lever, which is either a separate component or which simultaneously serves to extend the handle. Such weight elements are permanently moved with the lever, even during normal operation of the vehicle handle assembly. The weight elements are designed with a specific weight according to the desired effectiveness and are arranged on the lever with a specific lever length. However, the lever length in particular has a detrimental effect on the installation space depth, particularly in the case of a lever permanently connected to the handle.so that a correspondingly large installation space depth must be provided for the movement of the co-moving weight element. A greater installation space depth disadvantageously conflicts with today's modern design requirements for a low installation depth. The object of the invention is therefore to provide a handle assembly for a motor vehicle which avoids the aforementioned disadvantage and which nevertheless offers a high level of safety in the event of a vehicle accident. This object is achieved according to the invention by a motor vehicle handle assembly with the features according to claim 1. The motor vehicle handle assembly according to the invention comprises a handle support which can be fastened to a motor vehicle door, a release lever which is pivotally mounted on the handle support about a pivot axis and which is designed to be arranged in a rest position and an operating position, and a handle having a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end.which is designed to be movable between a retracted position, in which the handle is arranged flush with the outside of the motor vehicle door, and an extended position, in which the handle is arranged in an extended direction relative to the outside of the motor vehicle door for manual operation. The handle is mounted at its first longitudinal end on the deployment lever for rotation about a rotation axis and is arranged in its retracted position when the deployment lever is in its rest position. The deployment lever, when moving from the rest position to the operating position, is designed to move the handle from the retracted position to the extended position, wherein the handle is designed with a predetermined weight distribution and a predetermined center of gravity.which is arranged horizontally in the axis of rotation. Advantageous and expedient embodiments and further developments of the invention emerge from the corresponding subclaims. The invention provides a motor vehicle handle assembly which is characterized by a functional and cost-effective design and which has a high degree of functionality. Because the center of gravity of the handle is arranged horizontally in the axis of rotation, the handle is protected against any acceleration forces in the event of a vehicle accident, both in its retracted position and in its extended position. In addition, the installation space depth can be reduced to a minimum, since no specific lever length needs to be provided for a weight element, as is the case in the prior art, in contrast to the invention. Of particular advantage in an embodiment of the inventionif the handle has a handle weight attached to the handle, which is designed to shift the predetermined center of gravity of the handle into the axis of rotation. With the help of this design, the handle can be manufactured cost-effectively in a conventional manner without having to pay attention to the weight distribution during handle manufacture, because the center of gravity is then formed and fixed by the handle together with the attached handle weight. In a further embodiment, the invention provides that the release lever is designed to be movable from the rest position to the operating position during normal operation with the help of a drive element mounted on the handle carrier. For the purposes of the invention, normal operation means that the drive element is driven by a motor, whereas emergency operation means that no energy is available to drive the drive element by a motor.so that it is a power-free emergency operation. To increase safety in the event of a vehicle accident, so that the handle does not cause an undesired opening of the motor vehicle door due to acting acceleration forces, a further embodiment of the invention provides that a locking lever is arranged on the handle carrier, which is designed to be movable from a locked position to a released position with the aid of the drive element. The locking lever is pivotally mounted on the handle carrier via a locking pivot axis between the locked position, in which the locking lever is designed to block movement of the deployment lever from the rest position, and the released position, in which the locking lever is designed to release movement of the deployment lever from the rest position. The safety of the entire motor vehicle handle assembly can be further increased in a further embodiment of the invention byby designing the locking lever with a predetermined weight distribution and a predetermined center of gravity, which is arranged in the locking pivot axis. With regard to a simplified and cost-effective manufacturing process, the invention provides in a further embodiment that the locking lever has a lever weight attached to the locking lever, which is designed to shift the predetermined center of gravity of the locking lever into the locking pivot axis. Thus, a known and cost-effective manufacturing process can be used for the manufacture of the actual locking lever, without having to pay attention to a corresponding weight distribution with regard to the center of gravity. This is because the center of gravity is determined by the lever weight and shifted accordingly into the locking pivot axis with the help of the lever weight. Particularly advantageous in a further embodiment of the invention isif the second longitudinal end of the handle is designed as a free longitudinal end. This eliminates the need for a structurally complex coupling of the second longitudinal end of the handle, whereby this coupling would then also have to be secured against acceleration forces in the event of a vehicle accident, which, however, can be eliminated thanks to the special design. To support an extension movement of the second and free longitudinal end of the handle, it is advantageous in an embodiment of the invention if a guide lever is pivotally mounted on the handle support via a guide axis, which is coupled in movement to the extension lever via a coupling rod and which, upon movement of the extension lever from the rest position to the operating position, is designed to urge the second longitudinal end of the handle in the extension direction. For power-free emergency operation, the invention provides, in a further embodiment of the motor vehicle handle assembly,that in emergency operation, the first longitudinal end of the handle is designed to be movable against a spring force in a direction opposite to the extension direction, such that the first longitudinal end of the handle is pivoted about the rotation axis, and the second longitudinal end of the handle is extended in the extension direction and is arranged to be grasped by a user. The user can grasp the handle at its second longitudinal end and move it completely into the extended position, so that in the extended position, the handle can be used to open the motor vehicle door in the normal manner. In this case, "normal manner" means an actuation of the handle, independent of normal operation or a power-free emergency operation, in which, according to one embodiment, the handle is moved from its extended position into an actuation position serving to open the motor vehicle door, in which the second longitudinal end of the handle is pivoted about the pivot axis and moved in the extension direction.is designed to be pivotable. Thus, due to its movement when actuated, the handle is a type of rotary handle. Finally, a further embodiment of the invention provides for a Bowden cable to be mounted on the handle or on the handle support in such a way that the Bowden cable is only actuated to open the motor vehicle door when the handle is in the actuated position. This easily prevents unwanted opening, even if acceleration forces act on the handle in the event of a vehicle accident. It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet 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 present invention. The scope of the invention is defined only by the claims. Further details,Features and advantages of the subject matter of the invention will become apparent from the following description in conjunction with the drawing, which illustrates an exemplary preferred embodiment of the invention. The drawing shows: Figure 1: a schematic side view of a motor vehicle with several motor vehicle handle assemblies according to the invention. Figure 2: a perspective view of the motor vehicle handle assembly according to the invention with a handle arranged in a retracted position so as to be flush or flush with the outside of a motor vehicle door. Figure 3: a perspective view of the motor vehicle handle assembly according to the invention with the handle arranged in an extended position and exposed relative to the outside of the motor vehicle door. Figure 4: a perspective rear view of the motor vehicle handle assembly according to the invention. Figure 5: a perspective front view of the motor vehicle handle assembly according to the invention.Figure 6 shows a further perspective rear view of the motor vehicle handle assembly according to the invention. Figure 7 shows a perspective individual part view of the motor vehicle handle assembly. Figure 8 shows a sectional view of the motor vehicle handle assembly, with the handle arranged in the retracted position. Figure 9 shows a plan view of the motor vehicle handle assembly shown in Figure 8. Figure 10 shows a plan view of the motor vehicle handle assembly with the handle arranged in the extended position. Figure 11 shows a plan view of the motor vehicle handle assembly with the handle arranged in an actuating position for opening a motor vehicle door. Figure 12 shows a plan view of the motor vehicle handle assembly with the handle arranged in an emergency actuating position. Figure 13 shows a sectional view of the motor vehicle handle assembly shown in Figure 12. Figure 1 shows an exemplary motor vehicle 1 in the form of a passenger car.which, in the example, has four motor vehicle doors 2 (two of which are visible in Figure 1), which can be opened via a respective motor vehicle handle assembly 3 and, in particular, with the aid of a handle 4 of the motor vehicle handle assembly 3. The motor vehicle doors 2 are securely locked via a respective door lock and can be opened from the outside by moving the handle 4. According to the invention, the motor vehicle handle assembly 3 can be used not only for motor vehicle doors 2, but also for any type of flap of a motor vehicle 1. Figures 2 and 3 each show a perspective view of one of the motor vehicle doors 2 and the handle 4 used to open the motor vehicle door 2, with the handle 4 being shown in a retracted position in Figure 2 and in an extended position in Figure 3. As can be seen from Figure 2,In its retracted position, the handle 4 is arranged approximately flush with an outer side 5 of the motor vehicle door 2, i.e., completely flush or flush with the surface. In this position, the handle 4 is in its retracted position, in which it is not used. From the retracted position shown in Figure 2, the handle 4 can be transferred into an extended position shown in Figure 3, in which the handle 4 protrudes from the outer side 5 of the motor vehicle door 2 and is arranged in a projected position compared to the retracted position. Accordingly, in the extended position, the handle 4 is arranged protruding from the motor vehicle door 2, in that the handle 4 has previously been moved in a projecting direction 6. In the extended position, the handle 4 is arranged in a projecting direction 6 relative to the outer side 5 of the motor vehicle door 2 for manual operation by a user, so that a user can then reach behind the handle 4 and operate or handle it.to open the motor vehicle door 2. The force applied by the user to the handle 4 causes the handle 4 to be moved further in the deployment direction 6 at one of its longitudinal ends in order to open the motor vehicle door 2. When the handle 4 has reached an actuating position, which is shown in Figure 11, the motor vehicle door 2 opens. Figure 4 shows a perspective rear view of the motor vehicle handle assembly 3 according to the invention, which has a handle carrier 7 that can be fastened to the motor vehicle door 2. The motor vehicle handle assembly 3 according to the invention, in addition to the handle carrier 7 and the handle 4, has a deployment lever 8 mounted on the handle carrier 7. Furthermore, Figure 4 shows that a drive element 9 movably mounted on the handle carrier 7, a locking lever 10 movably mounted on the handle carrier 7,a guide lever 11 movably mounted on the handle carrier 7 and a coupling rod 12 are provided. Finally, a Bowden cable system 14 and a locking cylinder 15 are also integrated on the handle carrier 7. Reference is made below to Figures 4 to 13, wherein the handle carrier 7 is no longer shown in Figures 5 to 13 for reasons of clarity, and in Figures 5 to 13, only the components of the motor vehicle handle arrangement 3 according to the invention required for the movement of the handle 4 are shown. However, a fixed reference point is shown in Figures 9 to 12 as a fixed panel element 33 attached to the handle carrier 7 and thus fixed in order to better recognize the various movements of the individual components in relation to a fixed reference point. As can be seen, for example, from Figure 4 in conjunction with Figures 5 to 8,The deployment lever 8 is pivotally mounted on the handle support 7 about a pivot axis 16, and the handle 4 has a first longitudinal end 17 and a second longitudinal end 18. The handle 4 is rotatably mounted on the deployment lever 8 at its first longitudinal end 17 about a rotation axis 19. Furthermore, the handle 4 is designed with a predetermined weight distribution and a predetermined center of gravity 20 (see, for example, Figure 8). The center of gravity 20 is arranged lying on the rotation axis 19. As can be seen, for example, from Figure 7, the handle 4 has a handle weight 21, which is attached to the handle 4 and which is designed to shift the predetermined center of gravity 20 of the handle 4 into the rotation axis 19. The deployment lever 8 serves to move the handle 4 from the retracted position to the extended position.which is movable into a rest position (see, for example, Figures 8 and 9) and into an operating position (see, for example, Figure 10) and which is arranged at the first longitudinal end 17 of the handle 4 and pivotably mounted on the handle support 7 about the pivot axis 16. In the rest position of the deployment lever 8, the handle 4 is arranged in its retracted position (see, for example, Figures 8 and 9). During its movement from the rest position to the operating position (see, for example, Figure 10), the deployment lever 8 is designed to move the handle 4 from the retracted position to the extended position. Thus, during its movement from the rest position to the operating position, the deployment lever 8 presses the handle 4, which is rotatably mounted on the deployment lever 8 at its first longitudinal end 17 against a spring force via the pivot axis 19, in the deployment direction 6.so that the handle 4 is moved into the extended position by the deployment lever 8. The guide lever 11 is provided so that the second longitudinal end 18 of the handle 4 is also extended accordingly. The guide lever 11 is pivotally mounted on the handle carrier 7 via a guide axis 22. The guide lever 11 is coupled in motion to the deployment lever 8 via the coupling rod 12, so that when the deployment lever 8 moves from the rest position to the operating position, the free arm of the guide lever 11 is also moved in the deployment direction 6, as can be seen when viewing Figures 9 and 10. The coupling rod 12 is connected via a first joint axis 23, which is mounted on the deployment lever 8 at a distance from the pivot axis 16, and via a second joint axis 24, which is mounted on the guide lever 11 at a distance from the guide axis 22.is articulated to the deployment lever 8 and the guide lever 11 in the manner of a four-bar linkage. The second longitudinal end 18 of the handle 4 is designed as a free longitudinal end. This means that the second longitudinal end 18 is not connected to any component. Rather, the guide lever 11 is designed to urge the second longitudinal end 18 of the handle 4 in the deployment direction 6 when the deployment lever 8 moves from the rest position (see Figures 8 and 9) to the operating position (see Figure 10). The free lever arm of the guide lever 11 presses against the second longitudinal end 18 of the handle 4 and presses the second longitudinal end 18 in the deployment direction 6.when the handle 4 is to be moved from the retracted position to the extended position during normal operation. During normal operation, an actuator (not shown in the figures) drives the drive element 9. Accordingly, the extension lever 8 is designed to be movable from the rest position to the operating position during normal operation with the aid of the drive element 9 mounted on the handle carrier 7. The rod-shaped drive element 9, which is rotationally driven by the actuator, has an extension control disc 25 with an extension cam contour 26 for moving the extension lever 8.as can be seen from Figures 1 to 10. When the drive element 9 moves or when the drive element 9 is in operation, the extension cam contour 26 moves the deployment lever 8 from the rest position into the operating position. However, before this can happen, the locking lever 10 must release the movement of the deployment lever 8. The locking lever 10 is designed to be movable with the aid of the drive element 9 from a locked position (see, for example, Figure 8) into a released position (see, for example, Figure 10). The locking lever 10 is pivotally mounted on the handle carrier 7 via a locking pivot axis 27. In the locked position shown in Figures 8 and 9, the locking lever 10 is designed to block movement of the deployment lever 8 from the rest position. The locking lever 10 has a recess 28 on its lever arm, which in the locking position engages with the first joint axis 23, which is mounted on the release lever 8, in such a way thatthat the locking lever 10 blocks a movement of the deployment lever 8 from the rest position. In normal operation, the drive element 9 is rotated, wherein in the longitudinal direction of the drive element 9, offset from the extension control disc 25, a release control disc 29 with a release cam contour 30 is formed on the drive element 9, as can be seen, for example, in Figures 7 and 8. The release cam contour 30 is designed such that upon a movement of the drive element 9 or during operation of the drive element 9, the locking lever 10 is moved into a release position, as shown in Figure 10. In the release position, the locking lever 10 is designed to release a movement of the deployment lever 8 from the rest position,whereby the locking lever 10 is moved out of engagement with the deployment lever 8. The release control disc 29 and the extension control disc 25 are arranged and formed one above the other on the drive element 9. During operation of the drive element 9, the release cam contour 30 of the release control disc 29 comes into contact with the locking lever 10 and moves the locking lever 10 from the locked position into the release position, with only then the extension cam contour 26 of the extension control disc 25 coming into contact with the deployment lever 8 and moving the deployment lever 8 from the rest position into the operating position. Overall, the drive element 9 is designed like a camshaft and, with the aid of the extension cam contour 26 and the release cam contour 28, ensures a sequential release of the locking lever 10 and the subsequent movement of the released deployment lever 8 to extend the handle 4. As a result,Since the deployment lever 8 and the guide lever 11 are connected to one another via the coupling rod 12, the handle 4 is extended into its extended position due to the movement of the deployment lever 8 and the guide lever 11, with the first longitudinal end 21 and the second longitudinal end 22 being extended almost parallel and simultaneously. A safety device is also provided for the locking lever 10 so that, when subjected to an acceleration force in the event of a vehicle accident, the locking lever 10 does not inadvertently release the deployment lever 8 arranged in its rest position, thus preventing an undesired opening of the motor vehicle door 2. For this purpose, the locking lever 10 is designed with a predetermined weight distribution and a predetermined center of gravity 31, which is arranged lying in the locking pivot axis 27. In the embodiment shown in the figures,that the locking lever 10 has a lever weight 32. The lever weight 32 is attached to the locking lever 10 such that the lever weight 32 shifts the predetermined center of gravity 31 of the locking lever 10 into the locking pivot axis 27. In Figure 10, the handle 4 is arranged in its extended position, whereby during normal operation, the drive element 9 has previously moved the locking lever 10 into its release position and the deployment lever 8 into its operating position. In the position shown in Figure 10, a user can now grasp behind the handle 4 and actuate it to open the motor vehicle door 2. Upon actuation, the handle 4 then reaches an actuating position shown in Figure 11, in which the second longitudinal end 18 of the handle 4 is pivoted about the pivot axis 16 and arranged to move in the deployment direction 6. From Figure 11, it can be seen that the second longitudinal end 18 of the handle 4 is designed as a free end.since no connection to the handle carrier 7 or the like is visible. In a power-free emergency operation, it is no longer possible for the motor-driven drive element 9 to provide the various movement sequences. If a power-free emergency operation is required to open the motor vehicle door 2, such as in the case of a dead vehicle battery, the handle 4 can be moved inward by a user at the first longitudinal end 17 against the extension direction 6, whereby the other, second longitudinal end 18 of the handle 4 is moved in the extension direction 6. For an emergency operation shown in Figures 12 and 13, the first longitudinal end 17 of the handle 4 is thus designed to be movable against a spring force in a direction opposite to the extension direction 6,that the first longitudinal end 17 of the handle 4 is pivoted about the rotation axis 19 and the second longitudinal end 18 of the handle 4 is pivoted in the deployment direction 6 and is arranged so that it can be grasped by a user. Before the handle 4 assumes the emergency actuation position shown in Figures 12 and 13, the first longitudinal end 17 of the handle 4 presses the locking lever 10 out of its locked position so that the deployment lever 8 is ultimately released and can be pivoted. When the deployment lever 8 is released, the handle 4 can then be moved from the emergency actuation position shown in Figures 12 and 13 into the extended position shown in Figure 10, from which the user can then move the handle 4 into the actuation position shown in Figure 11 in order to be able to open the motor vehicle door 2. The motor vehicle handle assembly 3 shown in the figures further comprises a Bowden cable system 14 for opening the motor vehicle door 2, wherein the Bowden cable system 14,which is coupled to a locking device via a Bowden cable in a known manner, is a purely optional component. The invention described above is of course not limited to the described and illustrated embodiment. It is obvious that numerous modifications can be made to the embodiment shown in the drawings, which are obvious to a person skilled in the art according to the intended application, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention. The invention includes everything contained in the description and / or illustrated in the drawings, including that whichwhich, deviating from the specific exemplary embodiment, is obvious to the person skilled in the art.
