Definitions

  • the invention relates to a locking mechanism for a glove box of a vehicle.
  • Glove boxes for vehicles are known in the prior art. Glove boxes are located in the passenger compartments of vehicles and used to store goods. In order to lock the goods within the glove box, the glove box has a lid. The lid requires a mechanism which ensures that the goods in the glove box cannot fall out unintentionally. For this reason, the lid typically has a latch.
  • US 7,036,852 B2 provides a system for operating the rod of a glove box capable of reducing the number of parts by simplifying the structure for operating the rod used in a locking device of the glove box and improving productability by decreasing the size of the installation space.
  • EP 2 090 468 A1 provides a locking mechanism for a glove box of a vehicle comprising:
  • a locking mechanism for a glove box of a vehicle comprising a vertically operable handle for accessing the glove box, wherein the handle comprises a lever. Further, the mechanism comprises at least two locking rods with pins for engagement of the pins with a counterpart locking recess of the vehicle. Each of the locking rods comprises a rack gear. Further, the mechanism comprises a pinion engaging simultaneously with the rack gears of the locking rods, wherein the pinion comprises a bar attached to the pinion and in contact with the lever, wherein the bar is adapted for converting a vertical movement of the lever into a rotational movement of the pinion.
  • the contact region of the lever and the bar is disposed from the rotation axis of the pinion at a distance, wherein the distance is at least the diameter of the pinion.
  • Embodiments of the present invention may have the advantage that a vertically operable handle can be combined with a horizontally operating latch mechanism for a glove box with minimized space requirements. Only a single pinion is required and thus the number of required parts for assembly of the locking mechanism is minimized. Further, due to the minimized number of parts, the friction within the individual components is reduced thus easing the operability of the locking mechanism by vertically operating the handle.
  • a vehicle is understood as any kind of transportation system including a car, van, pickup, train, ship or plane, which is capable of transporting passengers.
  • a glove box is understood as any lockable compartment within the vehicle which is able to store goods.
  • the only requirement is that the handle of the glove box is operable by a vertical movement.
  • a vertical movement is understood as the main movement direction when operating the handle to open the glove box. This may also comprise a further movement for example away from the glove box lid. In combination, this may thus comprise an elliptic or almost rotational movement of the handle.
  • the pinion has two pinion gears located on opposite sides of the pinion, wherein the two pinion gears simultaneously engage directly with the rack gears.
  • the lever has a direction of extension from the handle towards the bar, wherein the direction of the extension of the lever and the axis of the pinion are laterally displaced with respect to one another.
  • the locking mechanism further comprises a lock cylinder attached to the handle, wherein the lever is attached to the lock cylinder.
  • the axis of the lock cylinder and the axis of the pinion are excentric.
  • the lever has a direction of extension from the handle towards the bar, wherein the direction of extension of the lever and the axis of the lock cylinder are laterally displaced with respect to one another.
  • a first advantage may be that by only a small movement of the handle and thus the lock, a large displacement of the lever is obtained.
  • a user of the locking mechanism only has to for example pull the handle and displace it vertically over a rather little distance, whereas nevertheless the pinion is operated smoothly for completely disengaging the pins from the counterpart locking recess of the vehicle.
  • a further advantage may be given in case of the embodiment that the lock cylinder, the lever and the bar are arranged in that a rotational movement of the lock cylinder permits enabling or disenabling the contact of the lever and the bar.
  • the rotational movement of the lock cylinder permits enabling or disenabling the contact of the lever and the bar.
  • both the bar and the lever preferably have corresponding flat surface shapes.
  • any other surface shapes are also possible.
  • the locking mechanism further comprises a resetting spring for providing a torque force resetting the rotational movement of the pinion.
  • the resetting spring comprises a torsion spring or a clock spring.
  • the handle itself may also comprise a resetting spring thus forcing the handle back to its original position.
  • Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a glove box 100 with a locking mechanism.
  • the glove box 100 comprises a lid 122 which can rotate in direction 104 away from the interior space of the glove box upon operation of the locking mechanism.
  • the locking mechanism is operated by pulling up the handle 120 in vertical direction 106.
  • the pulling of the handle may also comprise a movement component in the direction away from the interior space of the glove box. Due to this pulling of the handle 120, the locking mechanism (not fully visible) in Fig. 1 is operated and the locking rods 114 and 116 are disengaged with their locking pins 118 from respective recesses 110 located in support parts 108 of the vehicle.
  • the locking rods 114 and 116 are moved in a horizontal direction, for example the y-direction of the vehicle.
  • the y-direction of the vehicle is the lateral direction of the vehicle
  • the x-direction is the longitudinal direction of the vehicle
  • the z-direction is the direction perpendicular to the x and y-direction, i.e. the vertical direction of the vehicle.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the locking mechanism in a non-operated stage of the handle 120.
  • the handle 120 comprises a lever.
  • the locking rods each comprise a respective rack gear 200 (the rack gear 200 of the locking rod 114 is not visible in Fig. 2 ).
  • a pinion 204 is engaging simultaneously with the rack gears 200 of the locking rods 114 and 116.
  • the pinion 204 comprises a bar 208 attached to the pinion 204 and in contact with the lever 206.
  • the bar 208 is adapted for converting a vertical movement of the lever 206 into direction 212 into a rotational movement of the pinion 204.
  • the pinion 204 has two pinion gears 202 located on opposite sides of the pinion 204. These two pinion gears 202 engage simultaneously and directly with the respective rack gears 200 of the locking rods 114 and 116. As a consequence, by movement of the latch 206 into direction 212, the bar 208 is also pushed into direction 212. This results in a rotation of the pinion 204 in a counter-clockwise direction. As a consequence, at the same time the locking rods 114 and 116 are moving. Thus, by means of the two pinion gears 202, an even transmission of forces onto the locking rods 114 and 116 is provided.
  • the locking rods 114 and 116 can be arranged almost mirror inverted in the glove box. As a consequence, a constant movement process of the locking rods 114 and 116 upon operation of the handle 120 can be ensured.
  • Fig. 3 shows the locking mechanism of Fig. 2 in a state in which the handle 120 is pulled up in the vertical direction 106. Due to the movement of the handle 120 into the vertical direction, which may comprise a rotational movement 106, the lever 206 is moved into the direction 212. This pushes the bar 208 which is in contact with the lever 206 into the same direction 212. As a consequence, the pinion 204 to which the bar 208 is attached is rotated counter-clockwise. The two pinion gears 202 engaged with the rack gears 200 thus push the locking rods 114 and 116 in a horizontal movement. This results in the above described disengagement of the pins of the two locking rods from the counterpart locking recess of the vehicle.
  • the pinion or the bar comprises a stop bar 210.
  • the stop bar 210 limits the rotational movement of the pinion 204 and thus the movement of the bar 208 to a predefined extent.
  • the lever 206 is attached to the lock cylinder 112.
  • the lock cylinder can be rotated thus disenabling the contact between the lever 206 and the bar 208.
  • the direction of extension of the lever 206 and the axis of the lock cylinder 112 are laterally displaced with respect to one another.
  • the lateral displacement of the extension of the lever and the axis of the lock cylinder is in vertical direction.
  • Fig. 4 shows a front view of the locking mechanism discussed with respect to Fig. 2 .
  • the locking rods 116 and 118 can be clearly seen including the respective pins 118 for engagement with the non-visible counterpart locking recesses of the vehicle.
  • the bar 208 and the lever 206 of Fig. 2 both have a flat and even contact region which maximizes the area of force transmission between the lever 206 and the bar 208.
  • the contact region of the lever and the bar which is the region 404 in Fig. 4 is disposed from the rotation axis of the pinion 204 by a distance 402.
  • This distance 402 is at least the diameter 400 of the pinion 204. This maximizes the lever action at the bar 208 and thus minimizes the force required in order to operate the bar and thus the locking mechanism. Nevertheless, the total size of the locking mechanism is kept small.
  • the handle By means of a movement of the handle (grip handle) into the z-direction, for example by means of a rotational movement about 30 degrees, a force is transmitted from the handle over the lever onto the bar of the pinion. As a result, the pinion is rotated. This results in a movement of the rack gears and thus the locking rods in a horizontal direction (y-direction). After the locking rods reached their final position, the pins of the locking rods are disengaged from the counterpart locking recesses of the vehicle and the lid of the glove box can be opened. Upon releasing the handle 120, no force is acting anymore onto the bar 208.
  • the handle comprises a spring mechanism which forces the handle and thus the lever back into its non-operated position, i.e.
