Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, with a lever arrangement comprising at least two levers, the two levers being mounted on a common bearing pin with the same axis to one another, and the bearing pin being anchored in a lock housing.
  • motor vehicle lock is to be interpreted broadly within the scope of the invention. This includes not only the preferred motor vehicle door locks, but also, for example, locks on motor vehicle seats, motor vehicle flaps etc.
  • a locking mechanism consisting of rotary latch and pawl is usually implemented.
  • the levers usually represent components of an actuating lever chain and / or locking lever chain or both. In the case of two levers of an actuating lever chain, these ensure, for example, that the locking mechanism can be opened when actuated and assuming a continuous mechanical connection.
  • the actuating lever chain referred to works with the two levers at the end via, for example, a release lever on the pawl which is in engagement with the rotary latch in the closed state of the locking mechanism.
  • a release lever on the pawl which is in engagement with the rotary latch in the closed state of the locking mechanism.
  • the pawl is lifted and the locking mechanism and thus the motor vehicle lock in question can be opened.
  • this locking lever chain can be used, for example, to move a coupling element present in the actuating lever chain into its engaged or disengaged position become.
  • the coupling element ensures a mechanically continuous operating lever chain, so that the previously mentioned opening of the locking mechanism can be carried out when you act on it.
  • the coupling element is disengaged, the actuating lever chain is mechanically interrupted, for example during an opening process, so that the opening process is empty and the locking mechanism cannot be opened.
  • the functional position “locked” usually corresponds to this, whereas the continuous operating lever chain is associated with the functional position “unlocked”.
  • the two levers can also be part of both the actuating lever chain and the locking lever chain.
  • an internal locking lever and an internal actuating lever can be mounted on the common bearing pin on the same axis as one another.
  • a coupling element may also be interposed here.
  • the motor vehicle lock is designed as a motor vehicle side door lock on a rear motor vehicle side door with child safety device. This is because the coupling element can be transferred into its engaged and disengaged position with respect to the actuating lever chain and consequently the internal actuating lever via the internal locking lever.
  • EP 1 323883 B1 concerns a motor vehicle lock which has two operating levers and an additional safety device, e.g. B. child safety device is equipped.
  • the safety device ensures that the actuating lever is separated from the locking mechanism in its "on" position.
  • the actuating levers can be connected to one another and separated from one another.
  • Both actuating levers are mounted on the same axis and coplanar to one another.
  • a link lever is also mounted on the corresponding axis as a further component of the safety device. That has basically proven its worth.
  • the two levers mounted on the same axis on the common bearing pin should also be equipped with a spring or another component between them, as it were. If, for example, a spring is interposed, the above-described example may be an internal actuation lever spring, that is, one with the aid of which the internal actuation lever is pivoted back into its starting position after it has been acted upon.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing such a motor vehicle lock and in particular motor vehicle door lock in such a way that the number of components required is reduced and assembly is simplified while maintaining functionality.
  • the invention proposes in a generic motor vehicle lock within the scope of the invention that the bearing pin is designed in two parts with plug-in pin and plug-in pin receptacle, whereby both bearing pin parts are each equipped with a stop for the composite definition of a spacer between the two levers.
  • a two-part bearing pin is therefore initially used.
  • One bearing pin part is designed as a plug-in pin and the other bearing pin part as a plug-in pin receptacle.
  • both bearing pin parts are now coupled to one another by a plug-in connection. Since the respective bearing pin part is each equipped with a stop, when the plug-in pin and the plug-in pin receptacle are combined, the stops provided on both sides mean that the spacer between the two levers, which was previously manufactured and installed as a separate component, is automatically implemented. This already achieves a considerable simplification with regard to the number of components required and the assembly required.
  • the lock housing is designed in two parts with a housing shell and a housing cover.
  • the housing shell generally has the Plug-in pin, while the housing cover is equipped with the plug-in pin receptacle. This results in a further reduction in the number of components. Because now the two-part bearing bolt is practically designed as a component of the housing shell on the one hand and the housing cover on the other hand, which together define the lock housing for the motor vehicle lock, which is obligatory anyway.
  • the procedure here is usually such that the respective bearing pin part is molded onto the housing shell or the housing cover. It has proven particularly advantageous here that the housing shell and the housing cover are each designed as plastic injection molded parts. As a result, the production of the bearing pin can be practically integrated into the production of the housing shell or the housing cover. Because in the course of the plastic injection molding process for the production of the two components of the lock housing, on the one hand the plug-in pin on the housing shell and on the other hand the plug-in pin receptacle on the housing cover are automatically realized. Of course, you can also proceed the other way around. In this case, the plug-in pin receptacle is provided on the housing shell, whereas the housing cover is equipped with the plug-in pin.
  • the stop on the respective bearing pin part is designed to be eccentric. Because of this eccentric design, the lever inserted on the respective bearing pin part and associated lever can be easily slipped onto the bearing pin part or, on the one hand, the plug-in pin and, on the other hand, the plug-in pin receptacle. In this case, it is only necessary to move the respective lever with an obligatory passage opening for the bearing pin part in the plug connection slightly radially after passing the eccentric stop. This will be explained in more detail with reference to the description of the figures. Most of the time, the stop is designed as a circular arc segment. It has also proven useful here if the circular arc segment is adapted to the passage opening in question in the respective lever.
  • the lever can easily be slipped onto the bearing pin part in question, the lever with its penetration opening having to be radially slightly displaced over a certain area during the axial insertion movement. In any case, this ensures that the lever is additionally secured on the bearing pin part. At the same time, this simplifies assembly because the lever cannot inadvertently fall or slip after its assembly on the plug-in pin or the plug-in pin receptacle.
  • both the plug-in pin and the plug-in pin receptacle are equipped with stepped diameters in the axial direction. These stepped diameters work together as an axial stop, so that after the plug-in pin is inserted into the plug-in pin receptacle, the correct distance between the two associated stops is made available with the definition of the spacer.
  • the design can be made so that the plug-in pin receptacle is equipped with a lateral opening, so that the assembly of the plug-in pin in the plug-in pin receptacle can not only take place in the sense of a purely axial plug-in connection, but the plug-in pin also radially to a small extent can be inserted through the side opening into the pin receptacle.
  • a spiral spring encompassing the bearing pin is typically also mounted and implemented.
  • the spiral spring in question is formed by the two respective stops on the two bearing pin parts that define the spacer in the assembled state automatically positioned on the spacer and secured axially on the other hand.
  • the two stops, with the composite definition of the spacer, ensure that the levers mounted on the composite bearing pin maintain their predetermined spacing.
  • a motor vehicle lock and, in particular, a motor vehicle door lock is made available which offers significant advantages over the prior art in terms of the reduction in components achieved and the simplification of assembly that is achieved.
  • the common bearing pin for both levers is designed in two parts and is advantageously defined on the one hand on the housing shell and on the other hand on the housing cover of the obligatory lock housing. The union between the housing shell and the housing cover consequently leads automatically and simultaneously to the fact that the two bearing pin parts are combined with one another at the same time.

  • the “child safety off” state corresponds to this in the example.
  • the clutch lever 5 ensures that the two internal actuation levers 4a, 4b are mechanically separated from one another in the example, so that a mechanical connection is interrupted up to the lock and any actuations of the assembled internal actuation lever 4a, 4b go empty .
  • the clutch lever 5 is controlled with the aid of the internal locking lever 3.
