[0004] The invention relates to a guide device, particularly for a motor vehicle interior, for the translational guidance of a first, second, and third element, which are arranged on the guide device in a starting position and can be arranged in at least partial translational overlap with one another in order to cover a translationally extended first area by means of the elements, comprising at least one guide rail with three guides for guiding each of the elements, wherein the guide device has a coupling device by means of which the respective translational movements of the elements during guidance along the associated guides can be coupled via a kinematic positive coupling. The invention further relates to a motor vehicle with such a guide device.

[0005] The object of the invention is to guide an arrangement of three elements translationally in such a way that a desired translationally extended area is covered without having to move each element individually. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a motor vehicle with such a guideable arrangement.

[0006] This problem is solved according to the invention by the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims, the description, and the figures.

[0007] For example, to arrange three elements along a guide rail, each with its own guide, in the desired positions, each element can be moved individually, which can be particularly complex. Especially if the positioning is to be automated or electrically assisted, each element may require its own electric motor, resulting in significantly higher manufacturing costs.

[0008] A first aspect of the invention relates to a guiding device, in particular for a motor vehicle interior, for the translational guiding of a first, second and third 23-2373 PIF

[0009] 2

[0010] Elements are arranged on the guide device in a starting position and can be positioned in at least partial translational overlap relative to each other in order to cover a translationally extended first area. The guide device has at least one guide rail with three guides for guiding each of the elements. The guide device includes a coupling device by means of which the respective translational movements of the elements can be coupled via a kinematic positive coupling when guided along the associated guides. This allows the second element to be positioned between the first and third elements when moving at least one element from the starting position to at least one further position to cover a second area. In other words, each element should be translationally movable along its guide, for example, forwards and backwards.The kinematic forced coupling is intended to move at least one other element before the first moved element arranges the three elements in a configuration in which the second element is no longer between the first and the third element or at least in the same translational position as the first and / or the third element.

[0011] For example, the elements are plates that extend both translationally and transversely, i.e., perpendicular to the translational movement or direction of movement. The guides in the guide rail of the guide device can be designed as guide grooves or recesses extending translationally or linearly, which run parallel to each other. If the translational movement is horizontal, the guides or guide grooves can be arranged one above the other in the guide rail. In the starting position, all three elements can be arranged one above the other, for example, moved in the same direction until they reach a common or individual stop. Thus, all three elements can be in the same translational position.With this horizontal orientation of the guide rail and the translational direction of movement, or the guides, which may be designed as guide grooves or recesses in the guide rail, the first element is arranged in the lowest or first guide, the second element in the middle or second guide, and the third element in the uppermost or third guide, in a vertical direction perpendicular to the translational direction and the transverse direction (extension of the negligibly thin plates perpendicular to the guide rail). 23-2373 PIF.

[0012] 3

[0013] Reference is made here to Fig. 1, which shows the guide device 1 with the guide rail 2 and the three guides 3, 4, 5 with their respective elements 6, 7, 8 in the described initial position. The translational direction is the X-direction shown in Fig. 1, the transverse direction is along the Z-axis, and the vertical direction is in the Y-direction. As shown in Fig. 1, in the initial position, a first area 9 in the X-direction can be covered or concealed, and a second area 10 can be released, i.e., not covered by the elements. As the initial position in Fig. 1 shows, according to the positive coupling, it can be provided that the second element is at least not located outside a translational distance between element 1 and element 3. According to the kinematic positive coupling, it can therefore be provided that the second element 7 can be located in the X-direction at the same position as one of the two other elements 6, 7.The first region 9 and the second region 10 can be dimensioned in the X-direction such that all three elements 6, 7, 8 or all three plates are required to cover both regions 9, 10 in the X-direction. In particular, the invention allows for the area to be covered to be completely covered in the X-direction, which is already achieved here by requiring all three elements 6, 7, 8. To cover the area completely, the elements 6, 7, 8 can be designed to overlap at least partially at their ends (viewed in the X-direction). To cover the first two regions 9, 10 shown in Fig. 1, six element arrangements are possible without the kinematic forced coupling.For example, the second element 7 in the X-direction could be the foremost element, followed by the first element 6 and then, in the negative X-direction, the third element 8, or the first and third elements 6, 8 could be swapped in the X-direction. However, according to the kinematic positive coupling, the guide mechanism is designed to prevent these two element arrangements, as well as two others (the second element 7 at the very back in the X-direction, followed in the positive X-direction by the first and third elements 6, 8). Only two element arrangements are possible: the second element 7 in the middle, and either the first or third element 6, 8 in front of or behind the second element 7 in their respective guides 3, 5. To realize all six possible arrangements, each element 6, 7, 8 would have to be movable or guided independently of the other two elements along its guide.In other words, the guide device 1 would, for example, require three electric motors (or manually operated drive elements such as hand cranks) as a drive device for the three guides 3, 4, 5 in order to be able to drive each element individually. Particularly with the three electric motors, the problem arises in motor vehicles that a simultaneous 23-2373 PIF.

[0014] 4

[0015] Operating this could overload the vehicle's electrical system. In contrast, according to the kinematic positive coupling, advantageously only one of the three guides, the first or the third, can have a drive element to cover the area with the maximum extension in the X-direction (first area 9 and second area 10). The second or middle element 7 moves along with the driven element (6 or 8), so that the second element 7 is positioned in the X-direction between the first and third elements 6, 8. However, if an area is to be covered that is not related to the first area 9 covered in the initial position, such as the third area 11 shown in Fig. 1, then one driven guide may no longer suffice.

[0016] The guide device according to the invention can be used, for example, in motor vehicles for passenger transport to separate or protect a driver from a passenger area with passengers by means of a movement of the elements designed as plates along the guide device, such as an openable partition for taxis. For this purpose, the guide device could be arranged vertically in the vehicle between the front seats or, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, between the foremost seats and the rear seats behind them, with three vertically movable plates or elements.

[0017] The invention also includes embodiments or further developments of the first aspect of the invention, which may result in further advantages.

[0018] The ordinal numbers used here can express relationships and be used to assign components of the guide system to one another. For example, the second element is in its only guide in its second guide, and not in one of two possible guides for the second element.

[0019] A further development of the first aspect provides that the guides are arranged parallel in the guide rail and the coupling device is located in the middle of the three guides and has two deflection pulleys spaced translationally apart, around which a belt is arranged to rotate in a closed loop. The first and third elements are connected to this belt, which is movable together with the belt. In other words, at least the movements of the first and third elements are coupled to each other via the belt. For example, if the third element is in an upper loop of the belt relative to the 23-2373 PIF

[0020] 5

[0021] The belt is fixed but movable, connected to the belt, and the first element has a lower loop or lower belt section opposite the upper loop or upper belt section. When the first or third element is moved, the other element can be moved in the opposite direction, provided there is sufficient clearance in the X-direction. This is because the upper loop of the belt moves in the opposite translational direction to its lower loop when the belt is moved, as it is rotated 180 degrees by the deflection pulleys. In this embodiment, the elements can be arranged in the center of the guide rail shown in Fig. 1.To cover the entire possible range in the X-axis from the initial position of the elements, the second element could be fixed, and only the first or third element could be moved. Alternatively, the second element could be driven so that moving one element would move the other, which is movable by the belt, in the opposite direction. This would allow the translationally maximum possible range to be covered from this initial position, which can also be called the center position. This approach has the advantage that the first or third element can move together with the other, rather than having to move both elements individually.

[0022] A further development provides that each element is connected to one of the sliding devices arranged in one of the three guides, and that the deflection pulleys are connected to a second sliding device of the second element. The first and third elements are connected to the belt via their first and third sliding devices, for example, via a respective connecting element. In other words, the elements are to be mounted in the guide rail or their respective guides so that they can move translationally via their respective sliding devices. The elements thus move along with their sliding devices. Therefore, the deflection pulleys around which the belt runs or can run are coupled to the movement of the second element; that is, they move with the second element, or a translational movement of the deflection pulleys is accompanied by a movement of the second sliding device and the second element.

[0023] This offers the advantage that the first or second element can be moved without the other element, i.e., the third or the first, being moved or needing to be moved as well. If the first or third element is fixed or held by the guide device, the belt can move when the other element connected to the belt is moved, by moving the 23-2373 PIF.

[0024] The second element rolls along with the other element, particularly by moving the deflection pulleys, thereby simultaneously providing kinematic coupling. This offers the advantage that two different elements, namely the first and the third element, can be held in a desired position in the X-direction, while still allowing a desired area to be covered by the other element (first or third element) and the second element. This can be particularly advantageous if the first or third element is to perform a specific function in a given position and therefore needs to be held there.To return to the example of passenger transport, for instance the first or the third element may be the only one of the three elements to be bulletproof, i.e., made of bulletproof glass, and, viewed vertically, always positioned at the driver's head height to protect him particularly effectively.

[0025] The belt used in the invention refers to an elongated structure designed to absorb longitudinal forces, particularly tensile forces. Examples include leather belts, plastic belts, and chains, such as timing chains used in internal combustion engines. The guide pulleys can be made of plastic or metal and, particularly when the belt is designed as a chain, may have sprockets or teeth for guiding the chain around them. Each guide pulley may be rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation in the transverse or Z-direction (relative to Fig. 1), for example, on the second sliding device.

[0026] A further development of the first aspect stipulates that the translational distance between the two deflection rollers is determined independently of the movement of the second sliding element by their respective connection. In other words, the two deflection rollers cannot move translationally relative to each other. The movement of the deflection rollers thus entails a movement of the second sliding element and the second element. This offers the advantage that one element, i.e., the first or third element, can be fixed in the translational direction to cover a specific area, for example, the second area (referring to Fig. 1).

[0027] A further development of the first aspect provides that the guiding device has a drive device by means of which at least the first or the third element can be moved translationally and the second element according to the kinematic 23-2373 PIF

[0028] 7

[0029] The forced coupling allows the elements to move along with the drive unit. In other words, the invention provides that only the first element, only the third element, or both the first and third elements can be driven by the drive unit. This offers the advantage that a required area can be covered by the guide unit with minimal manufacturing effort. To drive an element, i.e., to move it linearly or translationally, the drive unit can have at least one threaded rod, which can be rotated, for example, by an electric motor of the drive unit. Depending on the direction of rotation, the element connected to the threaded rod, i.e., the first or third element, can be moved linearly or translationally forwards and / or backwards.

[0030] A further development of the first aspect provides that the first and third elements can be moved by the drive unit via a threaded rod connected to its sliding mechanism. In other words, the first and third elements should be driven by threaded rods via the drive unit, with each element being movable only by a threaded rod or its corresponding threaded rod. Thus, a threaded rod can be arranged along the first guide and the third guide, by means of which the element, which is movably mounted therein, can be moved translationally via the drive unit.The fact that the first and third elements can be driven or moved translationally offers the advantage that areas which are not connected to an area formed in the initial position can also be covered or concealed by means of elements guided by the guide device (for example, the third area 11 in Fig. 1).

[0031] A further development of the first aspect stipulates that each sliding device has at least one sliding block. In other words, each sliding device should contact its respective guide by means of its at least one sliding block. Specifically, it is provided that each sliding device has two sliding blocks arranged translationally offset from one another or spaced apart. This offers the advantage that the guide device is particularly reliable, robust, and / or wear-free. A sliding block can be made, for example, of bronze, polytetrafluoroethylene (available under the brand name Teflon®), and / or metal and / or plastic. A sliding device can therefore, for example, be arranged in a guide or guide groove by means of its sliding block or its two sliding blocks and slide or be movable along it. 23-2373 PIF

[0033] A second aspect of the invention relates to a motor vehicle with a guidance device, particularly according to the first aspect of the invention. Advantages and advantageous developments of the first aspect of the invention are to be regarded as advantages and advantageous developments of the second aspect of the invention, and vice versa.

[0034] The motor vehicle according to the second aspect of the invention is characterized in that the guide device is arranged between a driver's area and a passenger area in the interior of the motor vehicle, and the elements are designed as partition wall elements or panels forming a partition. According to the example already described, the motor vehicle can be used for passenger transport, for example, as a taxi. To form the partition, for example, between the frontmost seats of the motor vehicle and the seats arranged behind them, in which at least one passenger can be seated for transport, the guide device with vertically movable elements or panels can be arranged vertically in the interior, in particular attached to a body of the motor vehicle.The guide mechanism for the partition wall can include a guide rail, and in particular two guide rails are provided to allow the elements, partition wall elements, or panels to move vertically. The two guide rails can each be connected to the panels on their sides (viewed in the transverse direction of the vehicle). This offers the advantage that the driver of the vehicle can protect themselves by raising the partition wall and, for example, open the partition wall for a payment transaction, i.e., move all elements to a starting position, either upwards or downwards, in which the elements at least partially overlap.

[0035] A third aspect of the invention relates to a motor vehicle with a guidance device, particularly according to the first aspect of the invention. Advantages and advantageous developments of the first aspect of the invention are to be regarded as advantages and advantageous developments of the third aspect of the invention, and vice versa. The motor vehicle according to the third aspect of the invention is characterized in that the guidance device is arranged in a rear area of ​​the motor vehicle on its body, and the luggage compartment, which is particularly variable, can be limited by an openable tailgate of the motor vehicle, and the elements are designed as a housing for the luggage compartment, which is particularly variable. In particular, it is provided that the motor vehicle has a seating arrangement, particularly preferably a rear seat arrangement, which is designed so that persons can sit or take a seat on it in the motor vehicle. In particular, 23-2373 PIF

[0036] 9. The variable luggage compartment comprises a first, a second, and a third housing, which are telescopically movable into one another, for example, to assume a starting position in which the housings or elements are arranged translationally in the same position or in positions that are translationally close to each other, so that the housings largely overlap. The housings may have respective walls by which the variable luggage compartment is at least partially bounded. In particular, the first housing has a rear wall that limits the variable luggage compartment longitudinally or in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, so that luggage items arranged in the variable luggage compartment are not thrown forward, i.e., towards the occupants or the driver, during emergency braking of the vehicle while driving.The first housing can have a first base plate as its first floor wall, which is translationally movable with the first housing. The second and third housings can each have no floor wall, i.e., they can be open downwards towards the vehicle floor. The variable luggage compartment can have a second, fixed base plate, i.e., not connected to the guide mechanism, which, together with the translationally movable first base plate, can form a luggage compartment floor of the variable luggage compartment. The first base plate can slide or move translationally over the second base plate, so that the two base plates at least partially overlap, particularly in a starting position of the elements or housings.Depending on the position of the seating system, the housings guided along the guide mechanism can cover a translationally expanding area between the seating system and the tailgate. In other words, the housings can be moved to allow the seating system to slide backward into the luggage compartment. This offers the advantage that luggage can be transported particularly safely in the variable luggage compartment, preventing it from being thrown around the vehicle interior during emergency braking.

[0037] Further features of the invention will become apparent from the claims, the figures, and the description of the figures. The features and combinations of features mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and combinations of features mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown in the figures alone, are usable not only in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations or individually. 23-2373 PIF

[0052] Fig. 1 shows, as described above, a schematic representation of a guide device 1 with a guide rail 2 in which a guide 3, 4, 5, designed as a guide groove or recess, is arranged for each element 6, 7, 8. As shown in Fig. 1, the three elements 6, 7, 8 can be in the same translational position or position in the X-direction in a starting position, 23-2373 PIF

[0053] 11 in which a first area 9 is covered. In order to cover the first area 9 and a second area 10 or only a third area 11, starting from the initial position, in the X-direction, the elements 6, 7, 8 can be moved from their initial position in the X-direction, whereby, according to a kinematic positive coupling, it can be provided that when the elements 6, 7, 8 are moved, the second or middle element 7 is arranged between the first element 6 and the third element 8, but at least cannot be located outside an intermediate area between the first element 6 and the third element 8 in the X-direction.

[0054] Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of a guide device 1 with a coupling device for coupling the movements of at least two of the elements 6, 7, 8. The guide device 1 can have at least one guide rail 2 shown in Fig. 2, which can, for example, be designed as an extruded aluminum profile. Three guides 3, 4, 5 can be arranged in the guide rail 2, in each of which an element 6, 7, 8 is movable in the X-direction or translationally. The elements 6, 7, 8 can each be connected to an associated sliding device 12, 13, 14 and can be guided or moved in the guides by means of this device. For this purpose, the sliding devices 12, 13, 14 can each have two sliding blocks 15 arranged in a guide 3, 4, 5 designed as a guide groove or recess. The coupling device can be, as shown in Fig.Figure 2 shows two deflection rollers 17 connected to the second sliding device 13, whereby a translational distance between the two deflection rollers 17 can be fixed independently of any translational movement of the second sliding device 13 or the second element 7. A belt 16 can be arranged to be movable around the two deflection rollers 17. The first sliding device 12, or the first element 6, can be movably connected to the belt 16 via a first connecting element 18. The third element 8 can be movably connected to the belt 16 via its third sliding device 14 via a third connecting element 19. The guide device 1 can have a drive device 21 by means of which only the first element 6 and the third element 8 can be translationally movable or driven via threaded rods 20.The drive unit 21 can, for example, have two electric motors, i.e., one for each threaded rod 20, or only one electric motor and a gearbox by means of which either of the two threaded rods 20 can be moved. In the position or arrangement of the connecting elements 18, 19 shown in Fig. 2, the first element 6, arranged in the lowest or first guide 3, can be positioned furthest forward in the X-direction; further back in the X-direction, the 23-2373 PIF can be located.

[0055] The second element 7 is arranged in the X-direction, followed by the third element 8. In other words, the three elements 6, 7, 8 can be arranged in a position different from a starting position, for example, to cover a larger translationally extended area than in a starting position. As shown in Fig. 2, a stop can be provided by a sliding block in conjunction with a guide, such as the third sliding device 13. In other words, the third element 8 cannot be moved further in the negative X-direction in the position of the third sliding device 14 shown in Fig. 2. To cover a different or additional area starting from the position of the elements 6, 7, 8 shown in Fig. 2, the first element 6 and the third element 8 can be moved in different translational directions by means of the drive device 21.For example, if the first element 6 is moved in the negative X-direction and simultaneously the third element 8 in the positive X-direction, only the belt 16 can move, while the second element 7 remains in its translational position as shown in Fig. 2. However, if only the third element 8 is moved in the positive X-direction and the first element 6 is held stationary, for example, if its threaded rod 20 does not turn or rotate, then, according to the kinematic coupling, the second element 7 can move together with the third element 8 in the positive X-direction.

[0056] Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of a partition 26 in the interior of a motor vehicle, which can be formed by means of a guide device 1. The partition comprises elements 6, 7, 8 designed as panels, which can be in a starting position or an open position. In this open position, a vertically covered area between a front seat or driver's seat 24 or a driver and a rear seat 25 or passenger arranged behind it in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle can be opened. In this example, the motor vehicle can be configured as a taxi, and the guide device can, for example, have a guide rail arranged vertically in the motor vehicle, or, in particular, two guide rails 2 along which the three elements 6, 7, 8 are movable.

[0057] As shown in Fig. 4, the elements 6, 7, 8 can be moved vertically downwards, taking into account the kinematic positive coupling, in order to cover the entire vertical area between the driver's seat 24 and the rear seat 25, starting from the initial position shown in Fig. 3, for example to separate a front driver area from a rear passenger area, for example to protect the driver. In this example, the elements 6, 7, 8, in particular 23-2373 PIF

[0058] 13 can be designed as transparent glass or plastic plates. According to the kinematic positive coupling, the second element 7 can be located translationally, i.e., vertically, between the first and third elements in the separation position shown in Fig. 4, or arranged between these two. To protect the driver particularly effectively in the separation position, at least one of the plates, preferably the plate designed as the first element 6 or as the second element 7, can be designed to be bulletproof, i.e., ballistically protective. The guiding device, in particular the kinematic positive coupling, can ensure that the bulletproof plate is located at the driver's head or chest height in the separation position or in any other possible position, in order to protect the driver particularly effectively.

[0059] Fig. 5 shows a schematic representation of a variable luggage compartment, which can be formed by means of a guide device 1, with a first, second, and third housing as first element 6, second element 7, and third element 8, in a motor vehicle with a translationally movable seat assembly 22 in a starting position. As shown in Fig. 5, the three housings can be telescopically moved into one another in the starting position, with the first housing, designed as first element 6, being able to limit the variable luggage compartment in the X-direction or forwards towards a passenger compartment, thus preventing luggage items arranged in the first housing or in the variable luggage compartment from being thrown around the vehicle interior during emergency braking while the motor vehicle is in motion. Analogous to the partition 26 shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the first housing can be used to form a variable luggage compartment.4. Analogous to the elements 6, 7, 8 designed as plates, the housings can now be moved horizontally or in the X-direction, instead of vertically as for the partition 26. In the position or initial position shown in Fig. 5, the variable luggage compartment can be designed to be minimally extended, which allows for a maximum travel distance for the seat assembly 22, i.e., the seat assembly 22 can be moved as far back as possible towards the tailgate that defines the luggage compartment. The two backrests of the seat assembly 22 in Fig. 5 indicate that one backrest of the seat assembly 22 can be tilted backwards, i.e., towards the tailgate 23. The position of the housings shown in Fig. 5 thus allows the seat assembly 22 to be arranged for maximum comfort, so that a passenger sitting on the seat assembly 22 can recline the backrest as far as possible and has maximum legroom forwards.

[0060] Fig. 6 shows a schematic representation of another position of the housings of the variable luggage compartment from Fig. 5. For a maximum luggage compartment volume of the 23-2373 PIF

[0061] In the variable luggage compartment 14, the seat assembly 22 can be moved forward as far as possible for the position of elements 6, 7, 8 or the three housings shown in Fig. 6. The resulting translationally extended area between the tailgate 23 and the seat assembly 22 can be covered by the housings or elements 6, 7, 8 guided along the guide device 1, as shown in Fig. 6. According to the kinematic positive coupling, the second housing or second element 7 can be arranged between the first housing or first element 6 and the third housing or third element 8.

[0062] The following is a particularly favored example.

[0063] The drive unit or drive device 21 can consist of several components and can simultaneously also serve as the guide rail 2 of the guide device 1. The drive unit or drive device 21 can comprise a motor or electric motor and a gearbox unit, an extruded aluminum profile as a housing around the guide rail 2, the guide rail 2, three sliders or sliding devices 12, 13, 14 for the drive or drive device 21 and a receptacle for each of the individual covers or elements 6, 7, 8, a belt drive or belt 16 which, together with the receptacle or the second sliding device 13 and the two deflection pulleys 17, is movable with the second element 7, and two threaded rods 20 for moving the units or the first and third elements 6, 8.
