Technical Field

The invention relates to a handle (handhadhabe) as further defined in the preamble of claim 1. In particular, the invention also relates to a method for mounting a handle to a motor vehicle.

Background

As is known from the prior art, the handle of a motor vehicle is mounted via a mounting bracket which is fixed in the door of the motor vehicle and a handle (grip lever) which is arranged on the outside of the door. This has the disadvantage that there is always the possibility of installation delays and inaccuracies. The reason is that certain parts of the handle are difficult to install due to their geometry, and installation is often more complicated, especially due to space constraints.

Disclosure of Invention

The object of the present invention is therefore to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages at least in part. In particular, the invention aims to provide a handle which can be mounted on a motor vehicle as easily as possible.

the above-mentioned object is achieved by a handle having the features of claim 1 and by a method having the features of claim 29. Further features and details of the invention are apparent from the respective dependent claims, the description and the drawings. Thus, features and details relating to the handle of the present invention are equally applicable to the mounting method of the present invention and vice versa. Accordingly, the disclosure of the various inventive aspects is always mutually referenced.

In particular, the above object is achieved by a handle having a mounting bracket that can be fastened to a motor vehicle door and a handle (Griff) that can be arranged on the outside of the motor vehicle door and is fastened to the mounting bracket. In particular, in this case, the mounting bracket has a control element (stemerelement) which is operatively connected to a securing element (Sicherungselement) arranged on the outside of the door. Wherein the control element is movable from a holding position (Halstetellung) to a fixing position (Sicherungsstellung), whereby the distance between the fixing element and the control element can be reduced, thereby making it possible to achieve a reliable attachment of the mounting bracket to the door. It is therefore advantageous for the worker that the work of mounting the handle on the vehicle door is simplified and made easier. By reducing the distance between the fixing element located on the outside of the door and the control element arranged on the inside of the door, a greater force is applied to the mounting bracket, so that the mounting bracket is pressed against the inside of the door with a greater force. The fixing element rests very tightly against the outside of the door after installation, whereby the fixing element enables an additional sealing effect. The application of force to the fixing element and to the mounting bracket is effected by movement of the control element.

It is also possible for the securing element to have a locking device (arrestimittel) which extends in the locking position along a counter-locking device (gegenarremitteltel) of the control element. Advantageously, the secure holding of the fastening element on the outside of the door is achieved by the counter-locking of the control element. This structure serves as anti-theft protection. Advantageously, the locking means correspond to the geometry of the counter-locking means. Advantageously, the locking means is released from the counter-locking means when the control element is in the retaining position.

Further advantages can be achieved when the fixing element has an attachment region acting on the mounting bracket. For example, the attachment region can be fixed in a defined position on the mounting bracket in a form-locking (form-) and/or force-locking (kraftschl ü ssig) manner. Attachment regions may also be provided on the mounting bracket by snap-lock connections (rastverbudung).

Furthermore, it is also possible that the securing element is pivotable about a rotational axis, which extends through the attachment region, during the movement of the control element from the retaining position into the securing position. The attachment region may be a fixed bearing (Festlager) of the fixation element, wherein the fixation element is rotatable only at the attachment region. For example, the locking means may be located on opposite sides of the control element, wherein the locking means also pivots about the axis of rotation of the control attachment region as the distance of the control element from the control element decreases, however also a stroke movement (Hubbewegung) towards the control element. Advantageously, the travel (Verfahrweg) of the locking means is less than 5mm, preferably less than 1.5 mm. Thereby, a compact handle may be provided, which may be reliably attached to a motor vehicle door.

For example, it is also possible for the fastening element to have a seal on the side facing the control element. The seal may be integrated on the fixation element, for example molded (angelspritzt). Preferably, the seal is designed to be flexible. In order to increase the safety of the handle, the fixing element is made of metal, preferably steel.

Furthermore, it is also possible that the locking device of the securing element has at least one active surface which, during the movement of the control element to the securing position, acts on a reaction surface of the control element, so that the locking device is moved closer to the counter-locking device of the control element. The reaction surface and the reaction surface interact with each other when the control element is moved in the direction of the securing position, whereby the pulling force is released on the locking device. Thus, the fixing member is more strongly brought close to the outside of the door and tied with the door, while the mounting bracket is more strongly pressed against the inside of the door.

Alternatively, it is also possible that the controller has an actuator, the actuation of which by means of the actuator can cause the control element to move from the holding position to the securing position and/or vice versa. It is also possible that the actuator is at least partly located outside the mounting bracket. Advantageously, since the actuator is external to the mounting bracket, a convenient mounting situation for the worker is created. The actuator is easily accessible to a worker to release the moving control element in a fixed position direction. The actuator may be manually operated.

the invention enables further advantages to be achieved when the actuator is a threaded member acting on the mounting bracket and on the control element. Advantageously, this type of actuator is cost-effective and enables an efficient implementation of the control element's kinematics of movement.

It is also possible that the mounting bracket has a cavity in which the control element is placed, wherein the cavity is arranged to move the control element within the cavity between the holding position and the fixing position. Advantageously, the cavity is adapted to the geometry of the control element. Furthermore, the cavity is dimensioned such that the control element can reach a fixed position and a holding position, wherein the cavity is responsible for the respective guiding.

Furthermore, it is also possible for the control element to have a rib (Rippe) on at least one side thereof, as a result of which a secure guidance is achieved during the displacement of the control element on the mounting bracket. The rib can be designed as a projection and have an elongated extension in the direction of movement of the control element. Advantageously, the control element with ribs is formed in one piece. During the movement, the rib slides between a fixed position on the cavity wall and a mounted position. This effectively prevents a tilting or tilting of the control element which may occur during the movement of the control element.

furthermore, it is also possible that the control element is arranged inside the mounting bracket such that the control element is linearly movable between the holding position and the fixing position. The linear movement of the control member facilitates a compact overall structure of the handle.

another advantage is that a movable activation element (Aktivierungselement) is provided on the mounting bracket. When in the holding position, the control element acts on the activation element, whereby the activation element is held in the mounting position, simplifying the mounting of the handle. When in the secured position, the control element is released from the activation element. By the movement of the activation element, the side door closing system of the motor vehicle can be activated; in particular, a door closing signal or an opening signal can thereby be triggered, for example, to open a motor vehicle door. The movement of the activation element is accomplished by manual operation of the external handle. When the control element is in the holding position, sufficient installation space is created for the handle to be reliably installed and not to collide with other parts on the activation element.

for example, it is also possible for the control element to have a holding region which acts on the contact surface of the activation element when the control element is in the holding position. The retaining region may be arranged protrudingly on the control element to effectively act on the contact surface of the activation element when the control element is in the retaining position.

Furthermore, it is also possible for the handle to have a ridge (Dom) which is held in the attachment region of the activation element. Advantageously, the activation element is mounted on the mounting bracket so as to be rotatable about an axis, wherein it can assume a mounting position (Montagestellung) in which the control element interacts with its holding region on the contact surface. After the control element has left the holding position, the activation element can be pivoted into its operating position (Betriebsstellung). The handle located on the outside of the door is thereby correspondingly brought into its rest position. The ridge extends through the opening of the door and has a corresponding geometry in order to achieve a corresponding retention in the attachment area of the activation element.

Furthermore, the attachment region may be connected to the spine. Thus, a reliable attachment and/or retention of the handle on the door may be ensured.

It is also possible that the cylinder unit (Schlie β zylindereinheitheit) is movably mounted on the mounting bracket, whereby the cylinder unit is brought between a pre-mounting position (Vormontagestellung) and a final mounting position (Endmontagestellung). In particular, the cylinder unit is rotatably mounted about an axis. In order to trigger a corresponding action of the vehicle side door closing system, the key cylinder unit of the invention can be provided. This action can be triggered, for example, by inserting a key into the cylinder unit. It is also possible that the cylinder unit is in the pre-installation position when the control element is in the holding position and in the final installation position when the control element is in the securing position. To improve the ease of installation, the cylinder unit is in a pre-installation position for attaching a handle, in particular a ridge is fixed on the activation element. Therefore, a mounting space may also be provided to attach the handle to the mounting bracket without collision.

Furthermore, it is also possible for the lock cylinder unit to have a control geometry (steuergeometer) on which the control element acts, in particular the control element having a fastening element (verindungselement) which is operatively connected to the control geometry. This embodiment is advantageous for a good operation of the lock cylinder unit and the control element in terms of the kinematics. For example, the fastening element can be designed as a projection or as a receptacle, wherein the fastening element is guided by the control geometry. The control geometry may be at least partially curved or may have linear portions. This control geometry facilitates a linear movement of the control element, more precisely a rotational movement of the cylinder unit about the axis.

It is also possible that the control element can also have a receptacle (Aufnahme) in which the cylinder unit is arranged, in particular that the cylinder unit is partially covered by the control element. Thus, an effective protection of the cylinder unit can be achieved within the control element. At the same time, a good mounting of the cylinder unit can be achieved because the cylinder unit is geometrically effectively surrounded by a control element, which provides the cylinder unit with at least one or more bearings.

it is also possible that the control element has two fastening sides and one actuation side, wherein the actuation side connects the two opposite fastening sides and the cylinder unit is arranged between the two fastening sides. Advantageously, the fixed side is designed to be larger than the actuating side in its extension range. Advantageously, at least one of the fixation sides has the above-mentioned rib for better guidance within the cavity. The actuating side also comprises the above-mentioned actuator, which can trigger the movement of the control element from the holding position to the fixing position and vice versa.

it is also possible that the control element has a receiving region (Aufnahmebereich) and the cylinder unit has a shaft body through which the shaft passes. Wherein the shaft body is arranged in the receiving area. In particular, during the movement of the control element, the shaft body moves relative to one another in the receiving region, whereby a further advantage of the invention can be achieved. The receiving region can provide a reliable bearing point for the cylinder unit, on which the spindle body can pivot about its axis, while the spindle body is moved relative to one another within the receiving region during the movement of the control element.

it is also possible for the receiving region to have an inner region (lnnerer Bereich) and an edge region (Randbereich), wherein the receiving region is designed as an opening which becomes smaller from the inner region to the edge region. Wherein the shaft body is in the inner region when the control element is in the holding position and in the edge region when the control element is in the securing position. If the shaft body is located in the edge region of the receiving region, the side surfaces of the shaft body abut against the walls of the receiving region. Advantageously, the side surfaces slightly push the edge regions apart, whereby a reliable fit of the shaft body is achieved in the receiving region of the control element.

Advantageously, it is also possible for the shaft body to be cylindrical in design, the lateral surface of the shaft body having at least in part at least one flat surface. The flat surface is in contact with the wall of the receiving area when the control element is in the secured position. The cylindrical design of the spindle body facilitates the rotational movement of the cylinder unit from the pre-installation position (Vormontagestellung) to the final installation position (Endmontagestellung) and vice versa. At least one flat surface on the axle is used to lock the position of the axle when the axle is in a final installed position. Advantageously, the shaft body has two flat surfaces, for example aligned opposite each other, wherein each flat surface rests on a flat wall of the control element.

It is also advantageous in the present invention if the cylinder unit has at least one locking element (fastener). The locking element engages with a counter-locking element of the control element when the control element is in the securing position, the locking element being released from the counter-locking element when the control element is in the retaining position. In particular, the locking element and/or the counter-locking element are designed in the form of ribs. The locking element of the cylinder unit is geometrically adapted to the counter-locking element of the control element. Thus, the control element fixes the position of the cylinder unit in its final mounting position.

It is also possible that the fixing element has an opening for accessing the cylinder unit. In particular, the control element is made of metal. For example, the fixing element may be made of steel. The control element may be made of die-cast zinc material. The material of the control element can consist of the alloy constituents zinc and/or aluminum and/or magnesium and/or copper. This can improve the hardness of the control material.

In particular, the fixing element is formed closed. In particular, the control element is made of plastic. Advantageously, the handle does not contain a cylinder unit in this embodiment. The fixing element serves as a fixing protection, so that no environmental contaminants such as dust, moisture, etc. penetrate into the interior of the door in the mounting bracket. Advantageously, the control element is made of reinforced plastic.

the present invention is also directed to a method for mounting a handle for a motor vehicle, and in particular the handle of the invention having a mounting bracket and a grip as just described, which has been described in detail. The handle has a mounting bracket that can be fixed to the inside of the motor vehicle door, and a handle that can be arranged on the outside of the motor vehicle door and can be fixed to the mounting bracket. In this case, the mounting bracket has a control element which is operatively connected to the control element outside the door, wherein the distance between the fixing element and the control element decreases when the control element is moved from the retaining position to the fixing position, so that a reliable attachment of the mounting bracket to the door can be achieved. Thus, the method of the present invention has the same advantages as the handle of the present invention.

Alternatively, the cylinder unit is operatively connected to the control element. During the movement of the control element into the securing position, the cylinder unit is moved from the pre-installation position into the final installation position. Therefore, it is possible to provide a worker with sufficient installation space to attach the handle to the mounting bracket.

Furthermore, it is also possible for the mounting bracket to have an activation element (Aktivierungselement) which is movably arranged on the mounting bracket. The control element acts on the activation element when the control element is in the retaining position, whereby the activation element is retained in the mounting position to simplify mounting of the handle on the activation element. By moving the control element to the securing position, the control element is released from the activation element in the securing position while exerting a greater force on the mounting bracket, so that the fastening force of the mounting bracket with respect to the inside of the door can be increased. A corresponding force is exerted by the fixing element on the mounting bracket, which in the mounted position is pressed with a sufficiently large force against the inner side of the door. At the same time, the fixing element seals against the outside of the door. Thus, by moving from the holding position to the fixing position, the control element of the invention exerts a force on the two parts, whereby the handle is reliably held on the door. The method of controlling the element may be performed by an actuator that is easily accessible by a worker outside the mounting bracket.

Further advantages of the invention, as well as the characteristics and details of the product to which the invention relates, will become apparent from the following description. In the following description, examples of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The features mentioned in the claims and in the description may be combined individually or in other desired combinations and are in accordance with the invention. The description is as follows:

in the following drawings, different technical examples having the same technical features are given the same reference numerals.

In the following drawings, different technical examples having the same technical features are given the same reference numerals.

Fig. 1 to 12 show a handle 1 according to the invention, which is attachable to a door 2 of a motor vehicle, the handle 1 having a mounting bracket 30, the mounting bracket 30 being fixed on the inside of the door 2, and on the outside of the door 2 the handle 1 having a handle 10, which handle 10 is operated by a user, in particular, it can be pulled. As shown in fig. 1, the handle 10 is a hand grip (Ziehgriff), and the handle 10 is rotatably attached to the mounting bracket 30 on the right side thereof, but is not shown. On its left side, the handle 10 has a ridge 11, as shown in fig. 5, so that by a pulling action of the user the ridge 11 in the mounting bracket 30 triggers a defined kinematic action, and then according to the exemplifying example the handle 10 is operatively connected with an activation element 60, which means that a locking system in the motor vehicle can be triggered by the movement of the activation element 60. For example, it is conceivable that the opening operation and/or the closing operation of the vehicle door 2, etc. can be achieved by movement of the activation element 60. In this example, the activation element 60 may be rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 30 about a bearing 63. The activation element 60 has an attachment area 62(Befestigungszone), in which the free end 12 of the spine 11 is held firmly, and the activation element 60 also has an attachment receptacle 64(Befestigungsaufnahme), as shown in fig. 7, in which, for example, a Bowden cable can be fixed, which can then be pulled by a corresponding movement of the activation element 60, thereby mechanically initiating the triggering action.

Furthermore, it is also possible for the activation element 60 to have a mass balancer (Massenausgleich)65, as shown in fig. 3. The mass balancer 65 serves to prevent the door handle 10 from opening outward in the outside of the door 2 due to acceleration force in the event of a collision.

according to the example of fig. 1 to 12, the handle 1 has a control element 40, which control element 40 is operatively connected to a fixing element 80 (schecherungselement) arranged on the outside of the vehicle door 2. The control element 40 can be moved from the holding position 5 shown in fig. 3 to 6 and 8 to 10 into the fixing position 6 shown in fig. 2, 7, 9, 11, in which case the control element 40 has different functions, which are explained below. As shown in particular in fig. 10, 11, the distance between the fixing element 80 and the control element 40 is reduced by the movement of the control element 40 from the holding position 5 to the fixing position 6. In this case, the fastening element 80 has a locking device 81 (arrestiermittel) which engages in a counter-locking device 50 (gegenarremitteltel) of the control element 40.

As can be seen from the other figures, the fixing element 80 comprises an attachment area 82 on the opposite side of the locking device 81, the attachment area 82 being provided on the mounting bracket 30. When the control element 40 is moved from the holding position 5 into the fixing position 6, the fixing element 80 pivots about the rotation axis 83, wherein the rotation axis 83 extends through the attachment region 82. As can be seen from fig. 5, the control element 40 is moved linearly to the left (see double arrow), while the securing element 80 is pivoted in the clockwise direction about the rotation axis 83 passing through the attachment area 82. At this point, the fixing element 80 and its locking device 81 perform a certain lifting movement in the direction of the control element 40, which is less than 2 mm. Advantageously, the fastening element 80 has a seal 85(Dichtung) on the side 84 facing the control element 40, which seal is not illustrated.

In order to allow the fixing element 80 to be moved in the direction of the door 2 by moving the control element 40 in the direction of the fixing position 6, the locking device 81 of the fixing element 80 has an active surface 87, which active surface 87 engages with the reaction surface 51 of the control element 40. The active surface 87 and the reaction surface 51 interact with each other such that the locking means 81 is pulled towards the counter-locking means 50 upon movement of the control element 40 in the direction of the fixing position 6. The upward arrow shown in fig. 10 shows the lifting direction of the fixing member 80, and the fixing member 80 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 83 at opposite sides.

The control element 40 has an actuator 42, which, upon actuation of the actuator 42, can trigger the control element 40 to move from; movement of the holding position 5 to the fixing position 6 and/or vice versa. The actuator 42 is disposed on the exterior of the mounting bracket 30 so that the installer can advantageously operate the actuator 42, the actuator 42 being a threaded member that is manually operable, the actuator 42 acting on the mounting bracket 30 and on the controller 40.

the mounting bracket 30 has a cavity 31, and the control member 40 is movably disposed in the cavity 31. The control element 40 also has ribs 43 on its fastening sides 45.1 and 45.2, respectively, which ribs 43 can serve as guides during the movement of the control element 40 on the mounting bracket 30. The fixed side 45.1 is opposite 45.2. As the control element 40 moves, the rib 43 slides on the inner wall 32 of the cavity 31.

When the control element 40 is in the retaining position 5, the control element 40 acts on the activation element 60, as a result of which the activation element 60 is retained in the mounting position 7. As a result, a simplified mounting of the handle 10 on the activation element 60 can be achieved.

The control element 40 has a holding region 49, which holding region 49 engages on a contact surface 61 of the activation element 60 in the holding position 5 of the control element 40.

Fig. 5 shows the contact of the ridge 11 of the handle 10 with the safety area 82 of the fixing element 80. In addition, the figure shows that the handle 1 contains a key cylinder unit 20. However, all the embodiments of the present embodiment are also applicable to the handle 1 not including the key cylinder unit 20. In this example, a handle 1 is shown with a cylinder unit 20 movably mounted on a mount bracket 30. The cylinder unit 20 can thus be located between a pre-mounting position 3 and a final mounting position 4, in which the cylinder unit 20 is rotatably mounted about an axis 21. When the control element 40 is in the retaining position 5, the cylinder unit 20 is in its pre-loading position 3. When the control element 40 is in the locking position 6, the cylinder unit 20 is in its final mounting position 4. In the final mounting position 4, the cylinder unit 20 can be keyed by the user. If the handle 10 is not activated on the vehicle door 2, the handle 10 completely covers the head region of the key cylinder unit 20 (kopfbergeich).

the cylinder unit 20 has a geometry 22 in the form of a control element, the control element 40 acting on the control geometry 22. The control element 40 thus has a fastening element 41, the fastening element 41 forming a projection-like shape and being operatively connectable with the control geometry 22. The control geometry 22 is at least partially curved so that a rotational movement about the axis 21 is facilitated.

The control element 40 has a receptacle (Aufnahme)44, in which receptacle 44 the cylinder unit 20 is arranged, the cylinder unit 20 thus being partially surrounded by the control element 40. In the present example, the control element 40 has two fixed sides 45.1,45.2 and an actuating side 45.3. The actuation side 45.3 connects the two opposite fixing sides 45.1 and 45.2, the cylinder unit 20 being located between the fixing sides 45.1 and 45.2 and the actuator 42 being located at the actuation side 45.3.

The control element 40 has a receiving region (Aufnahmebereich)46, and the cylinder unit 20 has a shaft body 23, wherein the shaft 21 extends through the shaft body 23. The shaft body 23 is arranged in a receiving region 46, wherein during a movement of the control element 40 the shaft body 23 moves within the receiving region 46.

As shown in fig. 5, 6, 7, the receiving region 46 has an inner region (inner Bereich)46.1 and an edge region (Randbereich)46.2, and the receiving region 46 is provided as an opening so that the shaft body 23 is easily mounted. As shown in fig. 7, when the control element 40 is in the holding position 5, the shaft body 23 is located in a left inner region 46.1 of the receiving region 46. When the control element 40 is in the fastening position 6, the shaft body 23 is located in the edge region 46.2. The shaft body 23 is provided in a cylindrical shape, but the shaft body 23 has two flat surfaces 24 on its side surface. When the control element 40 is in the securing position 6, the flat surface 24 abuts against the flat inner wall 47 of the receiving region 46, thus achieving a secure locking effect of the cylinder unit 20 on the control element 40.

The cylinder unit 20 can also have a locking element (ratchet) 25, which locking element 25 engages with a counter-locking element (Gegenbackstem) 48 of the control element 40 when the control element 40 is in the securing position 6, as shown in fig. 12. Conversely, when the control element 40 is in the retaining position 5, the locking element 25 is released from the counter-locking element 48, but this is not illustrated. In the following examples, the locking element 25 and the counter-locking element 48 are rib-shaped.

The fixing element 80 has an opening 86 for accessing the cylinder unit 20. For safety reasons, the control element 40 is preferably made of metal, and the fixing element 80 may be made of steel material. In a further alternative, not explicitly shown, the fixing element 80 is provided in a closed form, in this example the handle 1 without the cylinder unit 20, where the control element 40 can be made of plastic.

The handle 1 of the invention is characterized in particular in that the mounting method of the handle 1 to the motor vehicle is greatly simplified. First, the mounting bracket 30 is mounted on the inside of the vehicle door 2 together with the control member 40. It is contemplated that the cylinder unit 20 may be integral with the mounting bracket 30, or the mounting bracket 30 may be provided without the cylinder unit 20. Subsequently, the fixing member 80 is fixed from the outside of the door 2, wherein the door 2 is reached from the outside of the handle 10 with the ridge 11 and fixed to the door 2. At this point, the ridge 11 is guided in the direction of the mounting bracket 30, while the activation element 60 is in the mounting position 7. While the control element 40 keeps the activation element 60 in the mounting position 7. When the spine 11 is arranged on the activation element 60, the worker may act on the actuator 42 and rotate it, so that the movement of the control element 40 in the direction of the fixing position 6 is initiated. The activation element 60 loses contact with the control element 40, so that the activation element 60 moves away from the mounting position 7 autonomously in the direction of the operating position 8. By moving the control element 40 in the direction of the fastening point 6, a force is introduced into the fastening element 80, and the fastening element 80 is pulled about its axis of rotation 83 in the direction of the control element 40. At the same time, a force is exerted on the mounting bracket 30, as a result of which the mounting bracket 30 is pressed more strongly against the vehicle door 2, so that an effective tension of the handle 1 against the vehicle door 2 is achieved.

If the handle 1 contains a cylinder unit 20, the cylinder unit 20 is moved from the pre-installation position 3 to the final installation position 4 by the control element 40 being moved to the securing position 6. When the final mounting position 4 is reached, the locking element 25 will act together with the counter-locking element 48 of the control element 40, so that a locking position of the cylinder unit 20 is achieved.

The description of the exemplary form set forth above merely describes the invention within an exemplary framework. The individual features of the examples can be freely combined with one another as far as technically feasible without departing from the scope of the invention.
