Description

[0001] The invention relates to a movable vehicle element, in particular a vehicle door, of a vehicle, especially a commercial vehicle.

[0002] The movable vehicle element is, in particular, a vehicle door, for example, a side door, a rear door, a tailgate, a hood, or the like. Typically, each movable vehicle element includes a locking device, for example, a lock, to secure the vehicle. Increasingly, there is also a need to lock the vehicle even when it is parked and a driver is still inside.

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a movable vehicle element with an improved locking device.

[0004] The problem is solved according to the invention with a movable vehicle element having the features of claim 1.

[0005] Beneficial further training is subject to dependent claims.

[0006] The movable vehicle element according to the invention comprises at least an inner handle, an outer handle and a locking device, which includes at least a lock with a locking mechanism with a latch and a locking pawl for locking the movable vehicle element and an additional lock, wherein the additional lock is integrated directly into the lock in order to additionally lock this lock against an unwanted opening of the movable vehicle element, and wherein the lock is mounted flush in the movable vehicle element and the additional lock is integrated flush into the lock in such a way that this additional lock can only be manually activated when the vehicle element is open.

[0007] The advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular in the fact that, by means of such an additional locking mechanism integrated into the lock, it can be easily activated by the driver of the vehicle himself before spending the night in the vehicle in order to secure the lock in its locked position.

[0008] One embodiment provides that the additional locking mechanism and the lock, in particular the locking mechanism, can be locked independently of each other and / or unlocked simultaneously.

[0009] Furthermore, the auxiliary lock can be linked to the interior handle in such a way that, when activated, it can be unlocked from the inside using the interior handle, and in particular, returned to the deactivated state. Specifically, the auxiliary lock and the main lock can only be unlocked from the inside using the interior handle in a single stroke or pull motion when the vehicle door is closed. Compared to conventional double-stroke releases on the interior handle, this allows for quick and reliable unlocking and opening of the relevant vehicle door (i.e., the movable vehicle element) in an emergency. The auxiliary lock is designed as a night-time safety device. The auxiliary lock is integrated into the main lock as a manually activated night-time safety device.

[0010] For example, the interior handle can be designed so that, when a vehicle element is closed, both the lock and the auxiliary locking mechanism can be unlocked with a single, or even just one, pull. This eliminates the need for a separate element to unlock the auxiliary locking mechanism. For instance, the interior handle is coupled to both the auxiliary locking mechanism and the lock, particularly the locking mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the auxiliary locking mechanism can be positioned at a distance from the main locking mechanism within the lock housing. This allows for simple, separate locking or activation of the auxiliary locking mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the additional locking mechanism can be arranged outside the entry area of ​​the lock, particularly the locking mechanism. For example, the additional locking mechanism can be arranged above the entry area and / or the locking mechanism in the lock housing, especially in an upper half of the lock housing. The additional locking mechanism can be integrated into the lock housing in such a way that it is flush with it. In other words, the additional locking mechanism is not located in the entry area of ​​a locking bolt or a locking pin, but rather outside of and spaced apart from them.

[0013] Preferably, the auxiliary locking mechanism is designed as a single piece or in multiple parts. For example, the auxiliary locking mechanism can have a locking lever and an activation section. The locking lever secures the locked position of the lock. The activation section is used, in particular, for manually adjusting the auxiliary locking mechanism from a disengaged to an engaged position. Resetting the auxiliary locking mechanism is only possible by operating the inside handle and cannot be done from the outside. For example, the activation section can include a tool recess, in particular a slot for a screwdriver, so that, when the mechanism is engaged, the screwdriver can move the locking lever into its engaged position, in particular a locking position.

[0014] For example, the locking lever can be rotatably arranged on a stationary lock module, in particular on a lock housing.

[0015] The locking lever can have a drive section which, when the locking lever is activated, in particular when pivoting through a predetermined angular range into the activated state, brings a locking lever into a locking position and locks it in this locking position.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking lever can have a locking contour which, when the locking lever is activated, engages or remains in a locking position against a counter-locking contour. This secures the locking lever in the activated state. This, in turn, secures the locking lever in its locked position.

[0017] In its disengaged state, the safety lever is out of contact with the locking lever. This allows the locking lever to move freely, specifically between its locked and unlocked positions, for example, to engage (lock) or disengage (unlock) a central locking system. The locking lever can be operated manually or electrically. Therefore, the lock can be designed as either a manually operated or an electrically operated lock.

[0018] The locking lever can further include, for example, an alignment contour designed to align and position the locking lever axially, particularly relative to the lock housing and / or the activation section. In addition, the locking lever can be made of a flexible material, at least in part. This allows the locking lever to be easily and, in particular, quietly moved into the activated state. Alternatively, the locking lever can have detent grooves, and the lock housing or an additional element can be partially flexible.

[0019] Preferably, the movable vehicle element is a vehicle door, for example a side door, a rear door, a tailgate, a hood or the like.

[0021] Corresponding parts are marked with the same reference symbols in all figures.

[0022] Figure 1schematically shows in exploded view a movable vehicle element 1 with an inner handle 2, an outer handle 4 and a locking device 6.

[0023] The locking device 6, for example, can be arranged and mounted flush as a mounting module on an end face 1.1 of the vehicle element 1 in a recess 1.2. The external handle 4, for example, can be arranged and mounted externally as a mounting module on the movable vehicle element 1. The internal handle 2, for example, can be arranged and mounted internally as a mounting module on the movable vehicle element 1.

[0024] The movable vehicle element 1 is, for example, a vehicle door, a side door, a tailgate, a rear door, a hood or the like.

[0025] The inner handle 2 and the locking device 6 are mechanically coupled to each other via a first pull element 8. By actuating the inner handle 2, the locking device 6 is unlocked via the first pull element 8, in particular a Bowden cable, so that the movable vehicle element 1 can be opened.

[0026] The external handle 4 and the locking device 6 are mechanically coupled to each other via at least a second pull-out element 10, in particular a Bowden cable. For example, actuating the external handle 4 via the second pull-out element 10 unlocks the locking device 6, allowing the movable vehicle element 1 to be opened. Alternatively or additionally, the external handle 4 can include a locking cylinder (not shown). For example, the locking cylinder is integrated into a cover cap 14 on the outside of the external handle 4. The locking cylinder can be signal-coupled to a microswitch. When a key 20 is inserted into the locking cylinder and actuated, an opening or closing signal for the locking device 6 is generated based on the position of the microswitches by means of integrated handle electronics 18.Additionally, the locking cylinder can have a receptacle 12 in which an actuating means 22, in particular a push rod, is hooked, which is moved accordingly, in particular pushed, when the key 20 is operated, as a result of which the actuating means 22 is actuated and the locking device 6 is unlocked, so that the movable vehicle element 1 can be opened, or the locking device 6 can be locked.

[0027] The locking device 6 comprises a lock housing 6.1 in which a lock 6.2 described below (shown in Figure 2 ) is arranged in a protected manner.

[0028] Figure 2 schematically shows in top view a partially opened lock housing 6.1 of the locking device 6 with an additional locking mechanism 6.4 in a non-activated state 100, in particular in a non-activated position 100. Figure 3schematically shows in another top view the locking device 6 according to Figure 2 with the additional locking mechanism 6.4 in the non-activated state 100.

[0029] The lock housing 6.1 is, for example, designed in multiple parts, in particular in two parts. The lock housing 6.1 can comprise two lock housing shells 6.1.1 that can be detachably connected to each other.

[0030] The locking device 6 comprises at least the lock 6.2 with a locking mechanism 6.2.1 with a latch 6.2.2 (also called a rotary latch) for a locking unit 24, for example a locking bolt or locking bar (also in Figure 7 shown), which is, for example, permanently mounted to a vehicle structure, and a locking pawl 6.2.3 for locking the movable vehicle element 1 (shown in Figure 1 ).

[0031] The locking device 6 also includes an additional locking mechanism 6.4. The additional locking mechanism 6.4 for the lock 6.2 is designed as a night-time safety device.

[0032] The additional locking mechanism 6.4 is integrated directly into the lock 6.2 to further lock this lock 6.2 against unwanted opening of the movable vehicle element 1.

[0033] The lock 6.2 is flush-mounted in the movable vehicle element 1. The additional locking mechanism 6.4 is flush-integrated into the lock 6.2, specifically in such a way that this additional locking mechanism 6.4 can only be manually activated when the movable vehicle element 1 is open.

[0034] In particular, the additional locking mechanism 6.4 can be integrated into the lock housing 6.1 in such a way that it is flush with the housing. Furthermore, the additional locking mechanism 6.4 can be located outside an entry area 6.13 (shown in Figure 7) of the lock 6.2, in particular the lock mechanism 6.2.1. For example, the additional locking element 6.4 can be arranged above the entry area 6.13 and / or the lock mechanism 6.2.1 in the lock housing 6.1, in particular in an upper half of the lock housing. In other words, the additional locking element 6.4 is not arranged in the entry area 6.13 of a locking unit 24 (shown with dashed lines), in particular a locking bolt or a locking pin, but outside of the entry area 6.13.

[0035] Furthermore, the additional locking mechanism 6.4 can be arranged and integrated at a distance from the locking mechanism 6.2.1 within the lock housing 6.1, in particular above the entry area 6.13 within the lock housing 6.1. This allows for simple separate locking or activation of the additional locking mechanism 6.4. It can be integrated into the lock housing 6.1 on an outer surface, as shown in Figure 7shown.

[0036] For example, the inner handle 2 (shown in Figure 1 The interior handle 2 is designed to unlock both the lock 6.2 and the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 with a single, and in particular a single, handle stroke when the movable vehicle element 1 is closed. This eliminates the need for an additional element to unlock the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4. For example, the interior handle 2 can be coupled to both the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 and the lock 6.2, in particular to the locking mechanism 6.2.1, for example via one or more first pull elements 8. Alternatively, the interior handle 2 can be coupled to the locking mechanism 6.2.1, and the latter to the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4, for simultaneous unlocking.

[0037] By means of such an additional locking mechanism 6.4 integrated into the lock 6.2, which can be manually activated from the outside, a driver of the vehicle can easily activate the additional locking mechanism 6.4 himself when spending the night in the vehicle in order to lock the lock 6.2 in a locking position 102 (shown in Figure 4 ) to secure.

[0038] In the locking position 102, the lock latch 6.2.2 can be released into the locking unit 24 (shown in Figure 7 ) fell in and was secured using the locking latch 6.2.3.

[0039] The locking device 6 further comprises, as an actuating mechanism, a locking lever 6.6 and an unlocking lever 6.8 for the lock 6.2 and / or a central locking system (not shown). The locking lever 6.6 and the unlocking lever 6.8 can be actuated by means of a drive unit 6.10. The unlocking lever 6.8 can in turn actuate a piston 6.9 (shown in Figure 2 The drive unit 6.10 can be controlled by means of signals from a central locking control unit (not shown). The drive unit 6.10 is, for example, a spindle drive which is coupled to the locking lever 6.6 and the unlocking lever 6.8 via a gearbox 6.12, in particular a gear drive.

[0040] In Figure 2 The locking lever 6.6 is shown in an unlocked position 104. The unlocking lever 6.8 is not yet actuated, so the latch 6.2.2 is still in its closed position 106. The latch 6.2.2 is in its closed position 106 and secured by the locking pawl 6.2.3, for example by a self-locking engagement 108 between the two. The central locking system is unlocked and the movable vehicle element 1 can be opened.

[0041] The auxiliary lock 6.4 is 100 in the inactive state, so that the locking lever 6.6 and / or the unlocking lever 6.8 (shown in Figure 3 ) is freely movable and can be actuated by means of the drive unit 6.10 to lock or unlock the lock 6.2. In other words, the auxiliary lock 6.4 is disengaged from the locking lever 6.6 in the deactivated state 100. This allows the locking lever 6.6 to move freely, in particular, the locking lever 6.6 can move freely between the locking position 102 (shown in Figure 4) and the unlocking position 104 to, for example, operate (= lock) or release (= unlock) the lock 6.2 and optionally a central locking mechanism. The locking lever 6.6 and / or the unlocking lever 6.8 can be operated manually or electrically. Thus, the lock 6.2 can be configured as a manually operated lock 6.2 or as an electrically operated lock 6.2 by means of the drive unit 6.10.

[0042] Figure 4 schematically shows in a further top view the locking device 6 with a movement sequence to move the additional locking device 6.4 from the inactive state 100 according to Figures 2 and 3to bring into an activated state 110 according to arrow 200, in which the additional locking device 6.4 protects the lock 6.2 from unintentional opening by placing the locking lever 6.6 and thus the lock 6.2 with the inset latch 6.2.2 into the locking position 102 according to arrow 202 and securing it in this position by means of the additional locking device 6.4.

[0043] The lock latch 6.2.2 is in its closed position 106.

[0044] Figure 5 schematically shows in a further top view the locking device 6 with a movement sequence to move the additional locking device 6.4 from the activated state 110 according to Figure 4 to return to the inactive state 100 according to arrow 203. Figure 6 Figure 1 schematically shows in perspective view the locking device 6 with the coupling to the inner handle 2 for deactivating the additional locking mechanism 6.4 by an actuating cable according to arrow 204 on the inner handle 2 ( Figure 1), which uses the first traction element 8 ( Figure 1 ) the release lever 6.8 according to arrow 206 ( Figure 5 ) actuates, in particular pivots, wherein the release lever 6.8 moves the piston 6.9 (shown in Figure 2 ), for example, a plunger or pin, presses in the direction of the locking pawl 6.2.3 according to arrow 208, so that the locking pawl 6.2.3 is disengaged from the latch 6.2.2 according to arrow 210 and the latch 6.2.2 opens according to arrow 212 and enters an open position 112, as shown in Figures 5 and 6 shown.

[0045] The locking lever 6.6 is then placed in its unlocked position 104 according to arrow 214.

[0046] In particular, the additional locking mechanism 6.4 is coupled to the inner handle 2 in such a way as to its movement (as in Figure 1 shown) that the additional locking mechanism 6.4 in the activated state 110 (shown in Figure 4) can be unlocked from the inside using the inside handle 2. In particular, the additional locking mechanism 6.4 and the lock 6.2 can only be unlocked when the movable vehicle element 1 is closed and from the inside using the inside handle 2 in one stroke or with a pulling motion as indicated by arrow 204 on the inside handle 2. This ensures quick and safe unlocking and opening of the movable vehicle element 1 in an emergency.

[0047] Figure 7 Figure 6.1 schematically shows in perspective view the locking device 6 with closed lock housing (shown in Figure 6.1). Figure 1) and the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 integrated flush into it. The auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 is integrated into the lock 6.2 as a manually activatable night-time safety device. The auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 is set to 100 in the deactivated state. The auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 is integrated flush into the lock 6.2, in particular the lock housing 6.1, such that this auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 can only be manually activated when the vehicle element 1 is open.

[0048] The additional locking mechanism 6.4, for example, has an activation section 6.4.1, which is designed, for example, as a slot 6.4.2 into which a screwdriver or a coin can engage from the outside to activate the activation section 6.4.1 and with it the additional locking mechanism 6.4 from the inactive state 100 to the activated state 110 (shown in Figure 4 ) to position, in particular to rotate according to arrow 216.

[0049] Figure 8Figure 1 schematically shows a multi-part auxiliary locking device 6.4 in perspective view. The auxiliary locking device 6.4 comprises the activation section 6.4.1 with the slot 6.4.2 and a locking lever 6.4.3.

[0050] The locking lever 6.4.3 serves to secure the locking position 102 (shown in Figure 4 ) of the lock 6.2. The activation section 6.4.1 serves in particular for manual adjustment of the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 from the inactive state 100 (shown in Figure 2 ) into the activated state 110 (represented in Figure 4 For example, the activation section 6.4.1 can include the slot 6.4.2 for a screwdriver or coin as a tool recess, so that in the inserted state it can bring the locking lever 6.4.3 into its activated position, in particular a locking position as a night lock, and thus into the activated state 110.

[0051] The locking lever 6.4.3 can have a drive section 6.4.4 which, when the locking lever 6.4.3 is activated, in particular when pivoting into the activated state 110, engages the locking lever 6.6 (shown in Figure 2 ) takes it with it and brings it into its locking position 102 and locks it in this locking position 102, in particular self-locking, for example by means of wedge surfaces of locking lever 6.6 and safety lever 6.4.3 that are in contact with each other.

[0052] Furthermore, the locking lever 6.4.3 can have a locking contour 6.4.5 which, when the locking lever 6.4.3 is activated, engages in a locking engagement with a counter-locking contour 6.1.2 ( Figure 15) is reached or remains in place. This secures the locking lever 6.4.3 in the activated state 110. This, in turn, secures the locking lever 6.6 in its locked position 102. Alternatively, not shown in detail, the locking lever 6.4.3 may have detent grooves and the lock housing 6.1 or an additional element may be designed to be flexible in certain areas.

[0053] Figure 9 Figure 6.4.3 shows schematically in perspective view the separate safety lever. Figure 10 Figure 1 schematically shows, in perspective view, the separate activation section 6.4.1 with slot 6.4.2. The activation section 6.4.1 includes a negative feedback section 6.4.9, which is solvable in the coupling section 6.4.6 (shown in Figure 1). Figure 9) of the locking lever 6.4.3 (shown in Figure 8). The feedback section 6.4.9 has, for example, coupling arms or coupling ribs or the like, which can be detachably arranged in the coupling section 6.4.6, in particular by latching, clamping or the like.

[0054] The locking lever 6.4.3 is made, at least in part, of a flexible material. This allows the locking lever 6.4.3 to be easily and correctly mounted and, in particular, to be moved quietly into the activated state 110 (shown in Figure 4 ) be brought.

[0055] The locking lever 6.4.3 is formed separately from a plastic material, in particular an injection-molded material. In addition to the drive section 6.4.4 (shown in Figure 8) a coupling section 6.4.6, in particular a latching hook, clamping hook, clip hook or the like, to be detachably coupled to the activation section 6.4.1, in particular by positive locking and / or force locking. The coupling section 6.4.6 is to be designed as a basic unit 6.4.8, in particular a hollow cylindrical unit (shown in Figure 9 trained.

[0056] The drive section 6.4.4 is designed as a drive arm. The drive section 6.4.4 extends perpendicularly from the coupling section 6.4.6 on one side.

[0057] The drive section 6.4.4 is a hollow profile arm with reinforcing ribs 6.4.7 (shown in Figure 9 ) formed. The locking contour 6.4.5 (shown in Figure 8 ) also stands perpendicularly from the coupling section 6.4.6, in particular from a side of the coupling section 6.4.6 that is opposite the carrying section 6.4.4.

[0058] Figure 11Figure 1 schematically shows an enlarged section of the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 in the area of ​​the locking lever 6.4.3 with the drive section 6.4.4. The auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4, and thus the locking lever 6.4.3, are in the inactive position 100. The locking lever 6.6 can be moved freely to engage the lock 6.2 (shown in Figure 1). Figure 2 ) to lock or unlock.

[0059] A drive pin 6.6.1 is provided on the locking lever 6.6, onto which the drive section 6.4.4 engages in order to engage the locking lever 6.6 when the auxiliary lock 6.4 is activated. This means that when the auxiliary lock 6.4 is engaged with the movable vehicle element 1 open (shown in Figure 1 ) by a screwdriver or a coin across slot 6.4.2 (shown in Figure 7) as shown in arrow 216, in particular rotated, the locking lever 6.4.3 rotates in the same direction and, via the drive section 6.4.4, engages the locking lever 6.6 and brings, in particular rotates, it into the locking position 102 as shown in arrow 202. Figure 14 .

[0060] The additional locking device 6.4, in particular the locking lever 6.4.3, is rotatably arranged on a stationary lock module, in particular at a suitable location on the lock housing 6.1.

[0061] Figure 12Figure 1 schematically shows an enlarged section of the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 in the area of ​​the locking contour 6.4.5. The lock housing 6.1 has a counter-locking contour 6.1.2 corresponding to the locking contour 6.4.5. The counter-locking contour 6.1.2 has recesses 6.1.3 into which projections 6.4.11 of the locking contour 6.4.5 engage in the respective end position, in the activated state 110 and in the deactivated state 100 of the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4, for example, latching, in particular positive locking and / or force locking.

[0062] Figure 13 Figure 1 schematically shows an enlarged section of the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 when the drive section 6.4.4 of the locking lever 6.4.3 is engaged or applied to the drive pin 6.6.1 of the locking lever 6.6 (shown in Figure 1). Figure 2) and when the locking lever 6.6 is moved by means of the drive section 6.4.4 during an adjustment of the additional locking mechanism 6.4 from the unactivated state 100 to the activated state 110 in accordance with arrow 200.

[0063] Figure 14 Figure 1 schematically shows an enlarged section of the auxiliary locking device 6.4 in the activated state 110. The locking lever 6.4.3 rests against the drive pin 6.6.1 and serves to define the end position of the locking lever 6.4.3. The locking lever 6.6 can include an associated end-position fixation. For example, the locking lever 6.6 can be fixed in its end position by means of a spring, in particular a toggle spring. This prevents the locking lever 6.6 from moving back to the unlocked position 104 (shown in Figure 1). Figure 2) prevented. In addition, the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 in the lock housing 6.1 is releasably locked by means of the interlocking locking contour 6.4.5 and the counter-locking contour 6.1.2, as shown in Figure 15 shown.

[0064] Figure 15 Figure 1 schematically shows an enlarged section of the auxiliary locking mechanism 6.4 in the area of ​​the locking contour 6.4.5 in the activated state 110, in which the projection 6.4.11 of the locking contour 6.4.5 engages in the recess 6.1.3 of the counter-locking contour 6.1.2 on the lock housing 6.1. The counter-locking contour 6.1.2 can be designed, in particular shaped, as a rib with recesses in the lock housing 6.1.

[0065] Figure 16 schematically shows an enlarged section of the additional locking mechanism 6.4 in the area of ​​the locking contour 6.4.5 in the non-activated state 100.

[0066] Figure 17 schematically shows in perspective view the lock housing 6.1 (shown in Figure 1) rotatably mounted additional locking device 6.4. The locking lever 6.4.3 and / or the activation section 6.4.1 may further comprise, for example, at least one alignment contour 6.4.12 which is designed to align and position the locking lever 6.4.3 axially relative to the lock housing 6.1 and / or to the activation section 6.4.1.
