  • An actuating unit causes in this embodiment of the invention, an axial clamping of the brake insert between the retaining surfaces of the locking element arms.
  • the elastic deformability of at least one Arret réelles institutearms the locking element ensures that both an increase and a reduction of the contact pressure of the holding surface on the braking surface can be realized via the actuator.
  • a rotation of the door bracket relative to the column console causes a corresponding adjustment of the holding surfaces of the locking element arms with respect to the braking surfaces of the brake insert, wherein on the resulting from the friction of the holding and braking surface Resistance moment the force required to move the motor vehicle door is determined.
  • the brake insert can basically extend over any angle range on the door bracket.
  • the brake insert may be arranged such that the locking unit during the entire pivoting movement of the motor vehicle door from its closed position to its maximum opening position generates a holding torque, ie determines the required to pivot the door actuation torque on the contact surfaces in contact braking surfaces and contact surfaces.
  • the brake insert only over a certain angular range of the door bracket, so that in sub-areas in which a locking option is not required, for example. In the area around the closed position of the vehicle door, the locking unit has no effect on the operating torque of the vehicle door Has.
  • the motor vehicle door hinge according to the invention is characterized by its particularly simple and compact design.
  • To determine the operating torque is only a locking element with two rigidly formed with the locking element Arretsammlungs institutearmen required whose position relative to the brake insert via an actuator can be fixed, whereby the contact pressure between the oppositely arranged braking surfaces and the support surfaces for determining the operating torque of the vehicle door is freely determinable .
  • the elastic displaceability of the locking element arms ensures that a reduction of the contact pressure can be achieved without difficulty via the control unit, for which purpose the locking element arms execute an elastic rearward displacement.
  • this embodiment of the locking element allows a particularly simple and inexpensive construction after it can be dispensed with additional components.
  • the actuating unit has a spring element which causes a spring-biased contact of the holding surface on the braking surface.
  • the holding torque for a vehicle door connected to the vehicle door hinge results not only from the bias applied by the actuator bias and stiffness or elasticity of the Arret michs institutearme, but also from the elasticity of the spring element, which in conjunction with the actuator the holding surfaces spring elastic Press against the braking surfaces of the brake insert.
  • the spring element ensures a uniform contact of the holding surfaces on the braking surfaces, wherein also evasive movements of the locking element on the spring element are easily possible.
  • the orientation of the locking element arms, as well as the orientation of the retaining and braking surfaces relative to one another, are basically freely selectable.
  • the locking element arms can extend at an arbitrary angle relative to the hinge pin axis, and the retaining or braking surfaces can also be aligned at any angle relative to the hinge pin axis.
  • the locking element arms extend essentially at right angles to the hinge pin axis, wherein the retaining surfaces and the braking surfaces are preferably aligned at right angles to the hinge pin axis.
  • This embodiment of the invention enables the design of a particularly compact locking unit, which simultaneously allows flexible adjustment of the holding torque.
  • the rectangular configuration is particularly simple and inexpensive to produce, with a corresponding orientation of the braking or holding surfaces to each other a simple production of the brake insert allows.
  • the brake insert can, for example, be made in one piece with a housing accommodating the locking unit or as a component that can be inserted into such a housing.
  • the adjusting screw extends substantially parallel to the hinge pin axis, which enables the production of a particularly compact and space-saving locking unit.
  • the braking surface can be designed in any desired manner.
  • this may have a flat surface, so that over the entire pivoting range of the motor vehicle door relative to the vehicle body, within which the locking element arms are engaged with the brake insert, a constant holding torque and consequently a constant actuating torque for pivoting the door consists.
  • the braking surface has a contoured surface.
  • the use of a contoured surface is distinguished by the fact that, due to the different heights of the braking surface relative to a main plane, different holding torques arise for certain opening angles, or actuation torques are required in order to pivot the motor vehicle door in these areas. It is also possible to define areas over a contoured surface in which no holding torque is provided by the locking unit in order to enable a simple pivoting of the door, for example in the area around the closed position of the door.
  • the holding torque is determined not only by the biasing force of the screw and the rigidity of the locking element arms, but also from the elasticity of the spring element, which in a particularly advantageous manner provided according to an advantageous development contouring the braking surfaces of the brake insert allows, as the spring element allows a corresponding mobility of the locking element or the contact surface with respect to the braking surface.
  • the design of the spring element is in principle freely selectable, wherein the spring element is particularly preferably formed by a spring washer which is arranged between a screw head of the adjusting screw and the surface of the Arret michsijnarms opposite the holding surface.
  • a corresponding design of the motor vehicle door hinge enables a particularly simple and cost-effective resilient mounting of the locking element arm, as a result of which compensatory movements can be carried out in a particularly simple manner, wherein the movement possibilities can be adjusted, inter alia, via the thickness of the spring element.
  • the locking unit is arranged in a housing which is closed by a housing cover having an opening.
  • the arrangement within a housing protects the locking unit from external influences and thus increases the reliability of the motor vehicle door hinge.
  • the arrangement of an opening in a housing cover makes it possible to make settings of the holding torque with a suitable tool without opening the housing, through the housing opening access to the setting unit, preferably a set screw is possible over which the holding torque is adjustable.
  • a motor vehicle door hinge 1 This has for connection to a vehicle body not shown here and a motor vehicle door also not shown here, a door bracket 2 and a pillar bracket 3, which are connected via a hinge pin 5 hinged together.
  • the hinge pin 5 is for this purpose rotationally connected to a boom of the column bracket 3 and pivotally connected in a housing 16 of a locking unit 4, wherein the missing housing 16 of the locking unit 4 is fixedly connected to the door bracket 2.
  • the articulated connection of the door bracket 2 with the pillar bracket 3 thus enables pivoting of the door bracket 2 relative to the pillar bracket 3 via the hinge pin 5.
  • the locking unit 4 which is arranged in the rigidly connected to the door bracket 2 housing 16 and is used for stepless locking of the door bracket 2 with respect to the column bracket 3, has a locking element 7, which with its hinge pin 20 against rotation within the housing 16 on the hinge pin. 5 is locked.

In the region of the elevations 12 there is a higher holding moment and in the region of the depressions 13, the holding moment is reduced relative to the main plane.
  • a pivoting of the door bracket 2 relative to the column bracket 3 causes due to the rigid arrangement of the brake insert 6 in the housing 16, a displacement of the brake insert 6 and the braking surfaces 10 relative to the Arret ists institutearmen 8a, 8b and thus with respect to the support surfaces 9. Due to the contouring can for different Opening angle of the door bracket 2 opposite the column console 3 different holding moments can be determined.
  • the locking unit 4 with the locking element 7 and the adjusting screw 14 is disposed within the housing 16, which is closed at its top by a housing cover 17.
  • the housing cover 17 in this case has an opening 18, which in a predetermined angular range of the door bracket 2 relative to the column console 3 allows access to the adjusting screw 14, so that in the closed state of the housing 16, a setting of the holding torque via an adjustment of the adjusting screw 14 is possible.
