Description

[Technical field]

[0001] An apparatus for moving a cover for a vehicle roof is described. Additionally, a method for installing the apparatus for moving a cover for a vehicle roof is described, particularly a method for installing the apparatus described herein. [Background technology]

[0002] Such devices with a cover for a vehicle roof serve, for example, to close the roof opening for a vehicle, in which the cover is first raised from a closed position in its rear area by means of a deployment mechanism and then displaced rearward to an open position. DE 10 200 03 133 A1, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, describes, for example, a so-called spoiler roof in this respect. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] German Patent Publication No. 102006045632(B3) Summary of the Invention

[0004] It would be desirable to propose a device for displacing covers on vehicle roofs, which allows for reliable operation. It would also be desirable to propose a method for installing a device for displacing covers on vehicle roofs, which can be carried out in a reliable manner.

[0005] A device for moving a cover for a vehicle roof is proposed. Furthermore, a method for installing a device for moving a cover for a vehicle roof is proposed, in particular a method for installing the device described herein. Advantages, features and further developments of the device consequently also apply to the method and vice versa.

[0006] According to at least one embodiment, the device has a longitudinally extending guide rail. The device has a deployment lever. The deployment lever is configured to lift a rear end of the cover. The device has a bearing carriage. The bearing carriage is longitudinally displaceably held on the guide rail. The device has a drive lever. The drive lever is rotatably coupled to the deployment lever at a first end. The drive lever has a guide member at a second end. The guide member is supported between the bearing carriage and the guide rail. This allows longitudinal movement of the bearing carriage to be transmitted to the deployment lever.

[0007] The drive lever and the bearing carriage cooperate to effect pivoting of the deployment lever such that movement of the bearing carriage and the drive lever causes the deployment lever to pivot relative to the guide rail to raise and lower the trailing edge of the cover.

[0008] The bearing carriage has, for example, a connection to a locking member. In a first state, the locking member can be displaced longitudinally relative to the guide rail. In a second state, the locking member is locked against longitudinal movement relative to the guide rail. As a result, the bearing carriage can be displaced longitudinally relative to the guide rail in the first state. In the second state, the bearing carriage is locked relative to the guide rail. In the first state, the drive lever can be moved by the bearing carriage in order to pivot the unfolding lever. In the second state, the unfolding lever is locked in its unfolded position by the locking member for the drive lever, the bearing carriage and the guide rail. The bearing carriage and the drive lever are in particular parts that are constructed separately from each other. In operation, the bearing carriage and the drive lever cooperate as described above. However, in this example, in particular no substantial engaging connection is formed between the bearing carriage and the drive lever. The movement of the bearing carriage is transmitted to the drive lever by a positive locking connection and / or a non-positive locking connection.

[0009] The device allows reliable operation with almost no structural space requirements. The drive lever is supported vertically between the bearing carriage and the guide rail, resulting in play-free bearings within conventional tolerances. The device can be installed in a simple and reliable manner.

[0010] According to one embodiment, the guide member has a bearing projection at a first end, which is arranged in a recess in the bearing carriage. The bearing projection rests on the bottom of the recess. As a result, in the assembled state, the guide member is held securely at the first end and the movement of the bearing carriage can be reliably transmitted to the guide member and the drive lever.

[0011] According to another embodiment, the guide member has a protruding projection at a second end. The second end is opposite the first end of the guide member in the longitudinal extent of the guide member. The longitudinal extent corresponds, for example, to a vertical or plumb direction in the assembled and operable state. The projection projects transversely to the longitudinal direction. The projection is supported on the guide rail. The projection projects along a horizontal or transverse direction. As a result, the projection surrounds the guide rail and may be supported on the guide rail in a guide path facing the bearing carriage. As a result, the guide member is supported vertically on the guide rail by the projection. As a result, the guide member is supported and securely held between the guide rail and the bearing carriage by the projection and the bearing projection.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment, the guide member has a stop at its second end. The stop is supported on a vertical guide path in the guide rail. As a result, the guide member is supported and held laterally on the guide rail. The stop and the projection support the guide member on the guide rail both vertically and laterally.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment, the guide member is in direct contact with the guide rail at the second end. The guide member comprises, for example, a plastic material member supported between the bearing carriage and the guide rail. The plastic material of the plastic material member is in particular in direct contact with the guide rail in the assembled state and slides along the guide rail during operation.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment, the bearing carriage has a protruding region that protrudes vertically to the side of the recess. The protruding region supports the guide member laterally. Furthermore, the protruding region serves to ensure that the guide member can be pressed securely into the bearing carriage.

[0015] According to at least one embodiment, the installation method includes providing a guide rail extending in a longitudinal direction. A bearing carriage is provided. The bearing carriage is held in the guide rail so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction. A deployment lever having a drive lever is provided. The drive lever is rotatably coupled to the deployment lever at a first end. The deployment lever has a guide member at a second end. The guide member moves in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the deployment lever. The second end of the guide member and the guide rail are relatively turned in a lateral direction. The lateral direction is in particular oriented transversely to the longitudinal and vertical directions, and the second end of the guide member points away from the bearing carriage. The first end of the guide member is inserted into the bearing carriage. The second end of the guide member is pivotally attached to the guide rail and thereby disposed between the bearing carriage and the guide rail. As a result, the guide member is supported between the bearing carriage and the guide rail.

[0016] This method allows the unfolding lever to be preassembled with the drive lever, e.g. with a deployment bearing for the unfolding lever. The bearing carriage can be mounted on the guide rail independently of the unfolding lever and the drive lever. The drive lever can be mounted on the guide rail in a simple manner by pivoting and inserting into the bearing carriage and then pivoting and locking. As a result, the connection between the drive lever and the locking element can be made directly on the guide rail. It is not necessary to preassemble the drive lever to the locking element outside the guide rail. This results in a simple assembly with low constructional space requirements and with a bearing that is reliable supported and as free of play as possible.

[0017] According to at least one embodiment, the deployment bearing, to which the deployment lever is pivotally fixed, is inserted into the guide rail, the pushing of the deployment bearing being performed before the first end of the guide member is inserted into the bearing carriage.

[0018] According to an embodiment, the device is part of a spoiler roof, and at the rear edge of the cover in the opening direction, the unfolding lever is first rotated in order to raise the rear edge of the cover. The cover is displaced in the opening direction relative to the unfolding lever in order to at least partially open the roof opening. In this case, the unfolding lever is fixed relative to the other part of the vehicle roof and is not displaced in the opening direction together with the cover. This is different, for example, in so-called externally guided sliding roofs, where the unfolding lever is displaced together with the cover at the rear edge of the cover relative to the other part of the vehicle roof in the opening direction.

[0019] Other advantages, features and further developments will become apparent from the following examples described in conjunction with the figures, in which components that are identical, similar or have the same effect may be provided with the same reference numerals in all figures.

[0021] 1 shows a vehicle 100 according to an exemplary embodiment. The vehicle 100 comprises a vehicle roof 101. A cover 103 is arranged on the vehicle roof 101. The cover 103 can, for example, be moved relative to other parts of the vehicle roof 101. As a result, a roof opening 102 is closed or partially opened by the cover 103.

[0022] The vehicle comprises a windscreen 104. The cover 103 has a leading edge 105 which in an operative state faces the windscreen 104. A trailing edge 106 of the cover 103 faces away from the windscreen 104 in the longitudinal direction X.

[0023] The movement of the cover 103 is effected by an unfolding mechanism. The unfolding mechanism has, for example, a guide rail 107 connected to the vehicle roof 101. A drive cable is, for example, guided in the guide rail 107. The drive cable is, for example, connected to an electric motor and other components of the unfolding mechanism in order to move the cover 103 relative to other parts of the vehicle roof 101. The unfolding mechanism comprises an apparatus 200 which will be described in more detail below.

[0024] For example, the device 200 is configured like a spoiler roof. The device 200 comprises a deployment lever 110, in particular in the form of a rear deployment lever 110, which serves to raise and lower the rear edge 106 of the cover 103. When the cover 103 is displaced in the X direction relative to the rest of the vehicle roof 101 into the open position, the rear deployment lever 110 is locked in the guide rail. In order to be displaced into its open position, the cover 103 is displaced in the X direction relative to the deployment lever 110. In this respect, the exemplary embodiment of the spoiler roof differs from the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1. In FIG. 1, a so-called externally guided sliding roof is shown, in which the deployment lever 110 together with the cover 103 is displaced in the opening direction at the rear edge 106 of the cover 103 relative to the rest of the vehicle roof. The device 200 and the installation method described in this example can be used correspondingly with this type of sliding roof as well as with other embodiments of sliding roofs.

[0025] The position or direction designations used, such as rear or front, up or down, left or right, refer to the longitudinal vehicle axis and conventional direction of travel of the drivable vehicle 100. The longitudinal vehicle axis may also be referred to as the horizontal axis or X axis in an associated X direction. The lateral vehicle axis may also be referred to as the horizontal axis or Y axis in an associated Y direction. The vertical vehicle axis may also be referred to as the vertical axis or Z axis in an associated Z direction. The vertical, lateral and longitudinal directions are in particular mutually perpendicular in each case.

[0026] FIG. 2 shows the device 200 before the deployment lever 110 is attached to the guide rail 107 .

[0027] The deployment lever 110 is coupled to a deployment bearing 140 such that the deployment lever 110 is pivotally held. A drive lever 115 is pivotally connected to the deployment lever 110. In particular, the drive lever 115 is connected to the deployment lever 110 in a central region of the deployment lever 110. A rotational connection 118 (FIG. 3) is formed between the deployment lever 110 and the drive lever 115.

[0028] The drive lever 115 has a first end 116 and a second end 117. A rotational connection 118 is formed at the first end 116 of the drive lever 115.

[0029] At the opposite, second end 117 of the drive lever 115, a guide member 120 is formed. The guide member 120 is in particular made from a plastic material. As a result, at the second end 117 of the drive lever 115, a plastic material member 127 is arranged. The plastic material member 127 is, for example, injection molded onto a metal part of the drive lever 115. The plastic material member 127 is configured to be held and guided in a guide rail.

[0030] In a first step, the deployment lever 110 is attached separately to the guide rail 107 and to the deployment bearing 140. Furthermore, a cover carrier 160 is provided which carries the cover 103 and serves as an interface for fixing the cover 103. The cover carrier 160 is guided and supported, for example, in the area of ​​the front edge 105 in the guide rail 107.

[0031] The cover carrier 160 is coupled to the cover slider 111 during installation. The cover slider 111 is located at one end of the deployment lever 110. By means of the cover slider 111, the cover 103 is supported by the cover carrier 160 on the deployment lever 110 and thus on the guide rail 107. By rotating the deployment lever 110, the cover carrier 160 can be raised and lowered in the Z direction relative to the guide rail 107.

[0032] The guide rail 107 is provided with a bearing carriage 130 (e.g. FIG. 4). The bearing carriage 130 is guided in the guide rail 107 so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction X. The bearing carriage 130 is, for example, a part of a longitudinally displaceable rotary bearing. The bearing carriage 130 is, for example, made of a plastic material. The bearing carriage 130 is held and guided in the guide rail so as to be movable in the X direction and to be prevented from moving in the Z and Y directions.

[0033] As shown, for example, in FIG. 6, the bearing carriage 130 has a connection 133 to a locking member 150. The locking member is, for example, a torsible rod. The locking member 150 can, for example, be coupled to a drive carriage (not explicitly shown). The drive carriage can then, for example, be connected to a drive of the device 200 to pivot and longitudinally displace the cover 103. The locking member 150 can be locked to either the guide rail 107 or the drive carriage. By means of the locking member 150, the longitudinal movement of the drive carriage relative to the guide rail 107 can be transferred to the bearing carriage 130. The locking member 150 allows a locking action relative to the guide rail 107, preventing longitudinal movement of the bearing carriage 130 relative to the guide rail 107.

[0034] 3 shows the device 200 during assembly when the deployment bearing 140 is coupled to the guide rail 107. The cover carrier 160 is coupled to the cover slider 111. The deployment lever 110 is in its deployment position, the deployment lever 110 extending substantially in the vertical direction Z. In the operational state, in this position the rear edge 106 of the cover 103 is raised.

[0035] The driving lever 115 is oriented such that the guide member 120 is not disposed on the guide rail 107. The driving lever 115 is not yet coupled to the bearing carriage 130. First, the deployment lever 110 is connected to the guide rail 107. Then, the driving lever 115 is coupled to the bearing carriage 130, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.

[0036] The drive lever 115 rotates about the rotation axis 112 (FIG. 7) of the rotation connection part 118 , and the guide member 120 moves toward the guide rail 107 .

[0037] To introduce the guide member 120 into the guide rail, the second end 117 is deflected in the Y direction relative to the guide rail 107. As a result, the guide member 120 is moved away, in particular away from the guide wall 108. As a result, the unfolding lever 110 is deflected, in particular at its second end 117, from its rest and working position, allowing the guide member 120 to move over the guide wall 108 and other projections of the guide rail 107 in the direction of the bearing carriage 130. Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible to deflect a part of the guide rail 107, in particular the part having the guide wall 108, laterally, in order to allow the guide member 120 to move in the direction of the bearing carriage 130. The guide wall 108 may also be referred to as a guide web or a guide flange.

[0038] The relative deflection of the guide member 120 and the guide rail 107 away from each other is particularly large enough to move a protrusion 124, which projects in the lateral direction Y of the guide member 120, beyond the guide wall 108. The protrusion 124 may be referred to as a bearing web.

[0039] As soon as the projection 124 has been moved beyond the guide wall 108 (FIG. 5), the guide member 120 and / or the guide rail 107 return to their rest and working positions, such that the projection 124 is located below the guide wall 108. The projection 124 is then supported in the Z direction on the guide wall 108, on a horizontal guideway 128 facing the bearing carriage 130. The horizontal guideway 128 extends in the lateral direction Y, in particular in the XY plane. The horizontal guideway 128 guides the guide member 120 in the vertical direction Y. The horizontal guideway 128 journals the guide member 120 in the vertical direction Z.

[0040] In the Z direction, the position of the guide member 120 is determined upward by the protrusion 124 and the guide wall 108. The protrusion 124 can slide along the guide wall 108 in the X direction.

[0041] At the second end 117, the guide member 120 is supported in the lateral direction Y by a stop 125 on the vertical guideway 109 of the guide wall 108. The vertical guideway 109 extends in the vertical direction Z, in particular in the XZ plane. The vertical guideway 109 guides the guide member 120 horizontally in the lateral direction Y. The vertical guideway 109 pivotally supports the guide member 120 in the lateral direction Y. The stop 125 protrudes in the Z direction beyond the projection 124 in order to guide the guide member 120 at its second end 122 on the guide rail 107 in a defined manner in the Y and Z directions.

[0042] At the opposite end, the first end 121, of the guide member 120, the bearing projection 123 of the guide member 120 is introduced into the recess 131 of the bearing carriage 130. The bearing carriage 130 has a protruding area 132 that protrudes in the Z direction laterally of the recess 131. The bearing projection 123 is guided by the protruding area 132 to be introduced, so that it reaches the recess 131 reliably. For example, when the projection 124 has not yet engaged with the back of the guide wall 108, the bearing projection 123 is already in contact with the protruding area 132. As a result, while the first end 121 of the guide member 120 is supported by the protruding area 132, the second end 122 can be turned relatively in the lateral direction X with respect to the guide rail 107.

[0043] The coupling between the guide member 120 and the bearing carriage 130 is configured such that movement of the bearing carriage 130 in the longitudinal direction X relative to the guide rail 107 is transmitted to the guide member 120. As a result, the guide member 120 and thus the driving lever 115 can be displaced in the longitudinal direction X relative to the guide rail 107 by the bearing carriage 130. This displacement of the driving lever 115 leads to the rotation of the deployment lever 110.

[0044] At the first end 121, the guide member 120 is supported in the Z direction on a bottom 134 (FIG. 7) of the recess 131. The bottom 134 may be referred to as a lower bearing segment.

[0045] As a result, in the Z direction, the guide member 120 is supported downwards on the bottom 134 of the recess 131 of the bearing carriage 130 and upwards by the projections 124 on the guideways 128 of the guide rail 107. By means of the projecting areas 132 and the stops 125 the guide member 120 is positioned in a defined manner in the lateral direction Y.

[0046] The device 200 can be installed in a simple and reliable manner. The guide rail 107 can be coupled to the bearing carriage 130. Independently of this, the deployment bearing 140 can also be coupled to the deployment lever 110 and to the drive lever 115. Only afterwards are the two subassemblies attached to each other. The drive lever 115 can be introduced into the guide rail 107 by deflection or slight elastic deformation and coupled to the bearing carriage 130. By means of the lug 124, the catch 125 and the bearing lug 123, the drive lever 115 is held in a reliable and relatively play-free manner. Due to the engagement of the bearing lug 123 in the recess 131, the movement of the bearing carriage 130 is transmitted to the drive lever 115 in a more reliable manner.

[0047] 6 through 13 are other views and cross-sectional views of device 200.

[0048] As can be seen especially from Figures 6 and 9, the plastic material element 127 is firmly supported in the Z direction between the guide rail 107 on the guide wall 108 and a bearing carriage 130. The guide element 120 or the plastic material element 127 extends in a longitudinal extent 126 (Figures 6 and 7). In the longitudinal extent 126, the plastic material element 127 is supported at a first end 121 by a bearing carriage 130 on the guide rail 107. In the longitudinal extent 126, the plastic material element 127 is supported at a second end 122 directly on the guide rail 107 by a projection 124 and an engagement 125.

[0049] The deployment lever 110 has a pin 119 (FIG. 3) which is guided in a slotted deployment member 141 (FIG. 7). The pin 119 may also be called a bearing pin. The slotted deployment member 141 is in particular formed in a deployment bearing 140 and serves to pivot the deployment lever 110 in the desired manner during the movement of the drive lever 115 in the longitudinal direction X.

[0050] For example, Figures 7, 8, 10 and 11 show that the recess 131 and the bearing protrusion 123 are formed accordingly to allow easy pivoting of the drive lever 115 while the deployment lever 110 is pivoting. Nevertheless, the recess 131 is formed so that the moving force can be reliably transmitted in the longitudinal direction X.

[0051] 12 and 13 in particular, in the operable condition the deployment bearing 140 is mounted to the rear end 113 of the guide rail 107. The drive lever 115 extends forward in the X direction and is held and guided at its front second end 117 within the guide rail by the guide member 120.

[0052] During assembly, the drive lever 115 is resiliently pressed into the guide rail 107 in the Y direction so that the guide member 120 snaps into the guide rail 107. During assembly, either the guide rail 107, the drive lever 115, or both are temporarily resiliently deformed to engage the protrusion 124 behind the guide wall 108.

[0053] Overall, the device 200 can be installed in a reliable and simple manner and requires a relatively small construction space. [Explanation of symbols]
