Technical Field

The invention relates to a protective device for the interior of a motor vehicle, comprising: a flexible surface structure (flaechengbilde) which can be moved along a guide direction between a compactly placed rest position (Ruheposition) and a protective position (protected) that is at least partially deployed on the ground; a guide device which is fixed in the assembled state on the vehicle and at which the flexible surface structure is guided linearly along a guide direction; and at least one light-emitting element associated with the flexible surface structure, which in the operating state emits light onto the flexible surface structure.

Background

Such protection devices are generally known in the form of screening devices (becchattongseinrichtung) for screening the side, tail or roof panes (dachsheibe) of passenger cars. Known shading devices have a flexible face weave in the form of a roller blind web (Rollobahn). The roller blind web is held rollably and unfoldable on a winding shaft (wickelville) and is movable along a guide direction between a compactly rolled-up rest position and a surface-unwound protective position. In the protective position, the roller blind web shields the respective side, rear or top glass. For the movement between the rest position and the protective position, the roller blind web is guided linearly along a guide direction at a guide device fixed at the vehicle. For this purpose, the roller blind web can be provided with a pull-out profile (auszuggprofile) on the end face, which is supported on the guide device in a linearly movable manner by means of a sliding element. Furthermore, known shading devices have light emitting elements associated with the roller shutter web. The light emitting element is arranged for illuminating the roller blind web.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the invention is to provide a protective device of the type mentioned at the outset which has improved properties compared to the prior art and in particular makes it possible to simplify assembly and/or reduce noise generation.

This object is achieved in that at least one carrier element is provided, by means of which the luminous element is joined together with the guide device in a form-fitting manner. The solution according to the invention makes it possible to dispense with complex fastening of the light-emitting element to the protective device. Instead, the carrier element enables a simple form-fitting connection of the light-emitting element with the guide device. Special fastening means, screw connections, adhesive bonds, etc. can thereby be dispensed with. This allows a particularly simple assembly of the light-emitting element at the protective device. Furthermore, the carrier element makes it possible to improve the noise behavior of the protective device, since undesired noise generation is counteracted by the form-fitting connection. The carrier element serves to fix the light-emitting element to the guide device, wherein the light-emitting element is fixed to the carrier element and the carrier element interacts with the guide device in a form-fitting manner. The carrier element can interact with the guide device, for example, in the form of a snap-in or snap-in connection (Schnappverbindung). The protective device is preferably constructed in the form of a screening device for a passenger car's movable roof system (Schiebedachsystem) and is therefore provided for screening the glass pane of the top side of the passenger car. The flexible surface structure is preferably designed in the form of a roller web which is held rollably and unfoldably on a winding shaft which is fixedly rotatably mounted on the vehicle in the assembled state. The guide device preferably has two guide profiles (fuehrungspiral) which are arranged on both sides of the flexible sheet material in the transverse direction and extend parallel to one another in the guide direction. The flexible surface structure can be supported on the guide device in a linearly guided manner by means of a pull-out profile which is fixedly connected to the flexible surface structure at the end. The light-emitting element associated with the flexible surface structure is preferably a light source or a light guide. The light source may especially be realized in the form of an LED assembly. The light guide is preferably designed in the form of a light strip or an optical cable, in particular a glass fiber cable.

The solution according to the invention is in a particularly preferred manner suitable for a protective device in the form of a screening arrangement for a movable roof system of a passenger car. The solution according to the invention can also be applied in the form of a screening device for a side or tail glass of a passenger car or in the form of a separating device for a loading bay of a passenger car.

In one embodiment of the invention, the light-emitting element is joined to the carrier element in a form-fitting manner. This is a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, since special fastening means for connecting the light-emitting element to the carrier element can be dispensed with. The light-emitting element can interact with the carrier element, for example, in the form of a snap-in or snap-in connection.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the carrier element has a first positive-locking section (Formschlussabschnitt) which cooperates positively with a positive-locking element of the guide device in such a way that a first snap-in connection is formed, and/or the carrier element has a second positive-locking section which cooperates positively with the light-emitting element in such a way that a second snap-in connection is formed. The first snap connection can be designed in particular in the form of a snap hook, a snap ball, a snap ring or a snap post connection. The first snap connection can be designed to be releasable or non-releasable. Preferably, the first snap connection is designed releasably. In order to ensure a satisfactory form-fitting snap connection, the first form-fitting section is preferably designed to yield elastically. Alternatively or additionally, the form-fitting element of the guide device may be configured to be elastically yielding. The second snap connection can be designed in particular in the form of a snap hook, a snap ball, a snap ring or a snap post connection. The second snap connection can be designed to be releasable or non-releasable. Preferably, the second snap connection is designed releasably. In order to ensure a satisfactory positive snap connection, the second positive-locking section is preferably designed to yield elastically. Alternatively or additionally, the light-emitting element can be configured to be elastically yielding at least in sections. This is a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, since a particularly simple assembly is achieved by means of the first snap connection and/or the second snap connection. Furthermore, the first snap connection and/or the second snap connection counteract undesired noise generation, which otherwise cannot be ruled out, for example, due to a gapped fastening means.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the first snap connection is designed in the form of a snap-fit post or snap-fit ring connection and/or the second snap connection is designed in the form of a snap-fit post or snap-fit ring connection. In the field of connection technology, snap-ring and/or snap-pin connections are known as such in principle. In this embodiment of the invention, the first form-fitting element is preferably designed in the form of a concave ring or column section and/or the form-fitting element of the guide device is preferably designed in the form of a convex ring or column section. In order to establish the first snap-in connection, the concave first form-fitting section is snapped onto the convex form-fitting element by means of elastic expansion. The second positive-locking section is preferably designed in the form of a concave ring or column section and/or the light-emitting element is preferably provided with a round, particularly preferably annular, cross section. In order to establish the second snap-in connection, the light-emitting element is pressed into a concave second positive-locking section, wherein the second positive-locking section is elastically expanded until the light-emitting element snaps into the second positive-locking section. The first snap connection and/or the second snap connection are preferably designed without play.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the carrier element has an aperture section (Aperturabschnitt) through which the light-emitting element emits light onto the flexible surface structure. The aperture section forms an aperture (blend) that controls the light emitting element to emit light onto the flexible surface tissue. The bore section may be configured in the form of a slit, a bore, or the like. Preferably, the bore section is configured in the form of a longitudinal slit extending substantially parallel to the guide direction. The longitudinal slit preferably extends along substantially the entire length of the flexible facial tissue and/or substantially the entire length of the guide device in the protective position. By means of the structural change in the size of the aperture section, the emission of light from the light-emitting element to the flexible surface structure can be influenced in terms of orientation, intensity, focusing, etc. in a simple manner.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the carrier element has a channel section in which a supply line (Versorgungsleitung) connected to the light-emitting element is arranged for the energy and/or light supply thereof. The channel sections can be completely closed in cross section or open section by section. The channel section is used to lay the supply lines in order and protect them from damage. The supply line can be provided for the energy supply of the light-emitting element and therefore has electrical conductors for the voltage and/or current supply of the light-emitting element. Alternatively or additionally, the supply line can be provided for the light supply of the light-emitting element and thus have a light guide, in particular a glass fiber cable. This is a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, since the carrier element is used for line guidance and/or line protection by means of the channel section. Thus achieving a again improved functional integration.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the support element is designed in the form of a longitudinal profile (laengsprofil) and/or is arranged running substantially parallel to the guide direction. The longitudinal profile is preferably an extruded or extruded profile. The longitudinal profile can be made of plastic or metal. Preferably, the longitudinal profile is made of a plastic material which is elastically yielding at least in sections. The longitudinal profile preferably extends along substantially the entire length of the guide device. If a first positive-locking section and/or a second positive-locking section is provided, these are preferably formed along the entire length of the longitudinal profile. Both the first positive-locking section and the second positive-locking section can have a groove-shaped extension along the extension.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal profile is preferably made in one piece from plastic. The longitudinal profile can be produced by means of a plastic injection molding method or by means of an extrusion method. It is particularly advantageous if the longitudinal profile is constructed in one piece. This is a design of the invention that can be produced particularly cost-effectively and can be assembled easily.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the light-emitting element is designed in the form of an LED assembly or a light-conducting cable (Lichtleitkabel) running along it and/or is arranged running substantially parallel to the guide direction. The light-emitting element is preferably joined to the carrier element in a form-fitting manner here substantially over its entire length. In other words: the second snap connection preferably extends in the longitudinal direction over substantially the entire light-emitting element and/or over substantially the entire length of the carrier element. The same applies preferably to the first snap connection.

The invention further relates to a carrier element for a protective device of the type mentioned at the outset, wherein the carrier element is designed according to the above-described embodiment.

Drawings

Further advantages and features of the invention emerge from the claims and from the following description of preferred embodiments which are illustrated on the basis of the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows, in a cut-away, extremely simplified sectional view, an embodiment of a protective device according to the invention in the form of a screening device for a movable roof system of a passenger vehicle, and

fig. 2 shows the protective device according to fig. 1 in an enlarged detail view in the region of the carrier element.

Detailed Description

According to fig. 1, the protection device is constructed in the form of a screening arrangement 1 and is arranged in the region of an active roof system 2 of a passenger car, which is not shown in detail.

The mobile roof system 2 has a mobile roof part 3. The movable roof part 3 can be moved in a manner known in principle between a closed position and an open position and is supported for this purpose in a linearly movable manner by means of a displacement mechanism, which is not illustrated in detail, on a rail 4 fixed to the vehicle. The movable top part is currently constructed in the form of a glass member 3 and is permeable to light in this regard. The guide rails 4 are arranged substantially parallel to the vehicle longitudinal direction X along an extent and are fixed in a manner known in principle at the vehicle body and are arranged in the vehicle height direction Z between the roof skin 5 and the interior lining 6. The interior lining is currently a vehicle interior roof (Fahrzeuginnenhimmel) 6.

The screening arrangement 1 is currently arranged for screening a glass member 3. The light entering into the vehicle interior R can thus be controlled by means of the screening device 1.

Not only the movable roof system 2 but also the screening arrangement 1 has a substantially symmetrical structure with respect to a middle longitudinal plane extending parallel to the XZ-plane. In this connection, the movable roof system 2 currently has two guide rails 4 which are arranged opposite one another in the transverse direction Y of the vehicle and extend parallel thereto. In order to avoid repetitions, in particular only the components and sections visible in fig. 1 and 2 are discussed in detail in connection with the screening device 1, wherein a correspondingly symmetrical arrangement of the components and/or sections with respect to the middle longitudinal plane is not explicitly indicated each time.

The shading device 1 has a flexible facial tissue 7. The flexible surface structure is currently designed in the form of a roller blind web 7 and can be moved along the guide direction F between a compactly placed rest position and a protective position, which is at least extended in sections. The guide direction R currently runs approximately parallel to the vehicle longitudinal direction X and can have a straight or at least partially curved course. The roller blind web 7 is held in the winding shaft, which is not visible in detail, so that it can be wound up and unwound. The winding shaft is mounted in a manner known in principle in a vehicle-mounted rotatable manner. In the state rolled up on the winding shaft, the roller blind web 7 occupies a rest position. In the state of being unwound at least in sections from the winding shaft, the roller blind web 7 occupies a protective position. In the protective position (fig. 1), the vehicle interior R is covered by means of the roller blind web 7 in the vehicle height direction Z upward relative to the glass component 3. In turn, the glass component 3 is covered in the protective position downward in the vehicle height direction Z relative to the vehicle interior R by means of the roller blind web 7. In other words: the glass member 3 or the vehicle interior space R is shielded by means of a rolling screen. The roller blind web 7 can be moved in the guide direction F between a rest position and a protective position manually or by means of a drive device that is not visible in detail.

A guide device 8 is provided for guiding the displacement movement of the roller blind web 7 between the rest position and the protective position. The guide device 8 currently has a guide profile 9. It should be understood that due to the present symmetrical design of the screening arrangement 1, further guide profiles, not shown in detail, are provided opposite each other in the transverse direction Y of the vehicle. The guide profile 9 is currently molded in one piece on the guide rail 4 of the movable roof system 2, which however need not necessarily be the case. In an embodiment that is not shown in detail, the guide profile 9 can be produced separately from the guide rail 4 and/or can be mounted separately therefrom and fixed to the vehicle. The guide rail 9 extends in the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle. The roller blind web 7 is supported at the guide profile 9 in a linearly guided, slidable manner by means of sliding elements, which are not visible in detail. For this purpose, the roller blind web 7 can be connected, for example, to a substantially dimensionally stable pull-out profile which is arranged at the end in the guide direction F and which extends in the transverse direction Y of the vehicle and is provided with sliding elements at the end. The sliding elements are guided in a form-fitting, slidably movable manner on corresponding guide surfaces of the guide profile 9.

Furthermore, the screening arrangement 1 has at least one light-emitting element 10 associated with the roller shade web 7, which in the operating state emits light onto the roller shade web 7. Due to the present symmetrical design of the shading device 1, two light emitting elements 10 are provided which are arranged opposite to each other in the vehicle transverse direction Y. By means of the light-emitting elements 10, the roller blind web 7 can be illuminated at least in sections, i.e. in the outer region of the guide device 8 in the transverse direction Y of the vehicle. In this way, the illuminance (lichverhalltnis) in the vehicle interior R can be influenced in terms of design and/or technical requirements. The light emitting element is now a light conductor 10. The optical fiber is designed in the form of an optical cable 10, in particular a glass fiber cable. In an embodiment that is not shown in detail, the light-emitting element can be realized in the form of a light source, in particular an LED assembly. The light-emitting element 10 extends along the guide direction F and thus in the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle over substantially the entire length of the guide apparatus 8. This is not mandatory. Instead, in an embodiment that is not shown in detail, instead of the light-emitting elements 10 that extend continuously along, a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged segment by segment or point by point can be provided, which are arranged adjacent to one another in the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle.

In addition, the screening arrangement 1 has a carrier element 11. By means of the carrier element 11, the light-emitting element 10 is joined to the guide device 8 in a form-fitting manner. Currently, this form-fitting connection is brought about by means of the guide rail 9. Due to the present symmetrical design of the screening arrangement 1, at least two carrying elements are provided, which are arranged opposite each other in the vehicle transverse direction Y and at a distance from each other symmetrically to said intermediate longitudinal plane. Further features of the carrier element 11 can be seen in particular from fig. 2.

As can be seen from fig. 2, the carrier element is joined to the guide profile 9 of the guide device in a form-fitting manner. On the other hand, the light-emitting element 10 is joined to the carrier element 11 in a form-fitting manner. This embodiment, which is also to be described in detail, particularly allows particularly simple assembly. Furthermore, the positive engagement connection described counteracts undesirable noise generation during driving operation.

The carrier element 11 has a first form-fitting section 12 which cooperates in a form-fitting manner with a form-fitting element 13 of the guide device 8 in such a way that a first snap-in connection 14 is formed. Furthermore, the carrier element 11 has a second positive-locking section 15, which cooperates in a positive-locking manner with the light-emitting element 10 in such a way that a second snap-in connection 16 is formed. In the cross-sectional illustration in fig. 2, the first positive-locking section 12 is embodied concavely annularly. Accordingly, the form-fitting element 13 is formed in a convex ring shape. The second positive-locking section 15 is likewise of concave annular design, wherein the light-emitting element 10 has a cylindrical cross section. The first form-fitting section 12 and the form-fitting element 13 are matched to one another in terms of their dimensions in such a way that a gapless connection is produced between the carrier element 11 and the guide device 8. The second positive-locking section 15 and the light-emitting element 10 are matched to one another in terms of their dimensions in such a way that a gapless connection is produced between the light-emitting element 10 and the carrier element 11. In order to ensure a functional configuration of the first snap connection 14 and the second snap connection 16, the carrier element 11 is designed to be elastically yielding at least in the region of the first positive-locking section 12 and/or the second positive-locking section 15. Due to this elastically yielding design of the carrier element 11, it can be snapped onto the form-fitting element 13 and thereby brought into form-fitting engagement with the guide device 8. Accordingly, in short, the light-emitting element 10 can be snapped into the second positive-locking section 16. So that a positive engagement connection is produced between the light-emitting element 10 and the carrier element 11.

In the present case, both the first snap connection 14 and the second snap connection 16 are designed in the form of an annular snap ring connection (at least in the cross-sectional illustration in fig. 2).

The support element 11 is arranged on the underside of the guide device 8 with respect to the vehicle height direction Z and between the roller blind web 7 and the inner catch 6.

In addition, the carrier element 11 has a bore section 17. Through the hole sections 17, the luminous elements emit light onto the roller blind web 7 in the operating state. The aperture section 17 thus functions as an aperture. By means of the structural adaptation of the dimensions of the hole section 17, the light input from the light-emitting element 10 onto the roller blind web 7 can be adapted in particular with respect to direction and/or intensity. The hole section is now a slit 17. The slot 17 is formed between a projection (Fortsatz)18 of the carrier element 11 and a wall section 19 of the guide profile 9.

Furthermore, the carrier element 11 has a channel section 20. In the channel section 20, a supply line, which is not visible in detail, is arranged, which is connected to the light-emitting element 10. The supply line can be provided for the energy and/or light supply of the light-emitting element 10. Since the light-emitting element 10 is currently a light guide, the supply line serves for its light supply. The channel section 20 serves for an orderly guidance and protection of the supply line. Here, the tunnel section 20 is provided with a pass-through portion (Durchlass)21 in the vehicle height direction Z. In the state of positive engagement, the passage 21 is closed by means of the wall section 19 of the guide profile 9.

It can also be seen from fig. 2 that the projection 18 is supported at a wall section of the inner lining 6 facing the guide device 8, which is not designated in detail.

The carrier element is currently constructed in the form of a longitudinal profile 11. The longitudinal profile 11 is arranged running substantially parallel to the guide direction F. The longitudinal profile 11 extends over substantially the entire length of the guide device 8 and/or of the guide profile 9. This is not necessarily the case, however. In an embodiment that is not shown in detail, a plurality of longitudinal profiles 11 can also be provided, spaced apart from one another in the vehicle longitudinal direction X and shortened compared to the present embodiment. The longitudinal profile 11 is made of plastic. Furthermore, the longitudinal profile 11 is formed in one piece. The longitudinal profile 11 is currently produced as an extruded member.

Due to the design of the support element in the form of the longitudinal profile 11, both the first positive fit section 12 and the second positive fit section 15 are each formed to extend in the longitudinal direction X of the vehicle and/or in the guide direction F. The form-fitting sections 12, 15 extend over substantially the entire length of the longitudinal profile 11. The same applies to the bore section 17 and the channel section 20. Correspondingly, the form-fitting element 13 also extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction X and/or thus in the guide direction F. Thus, the first snap connection 14 is configured in the form of a snap post connection. The corresponding applies at present to the second snap-in connection between the second positive-locking section 15 and the light-emitting element 10.
