Description

Verstellantrieb mit einem Getriebemotor mit durch formschlüssige Selbsthemmung fixierbarer Stellposition.Actuator with a geared motor with a position that can be fixed by positive self-locking.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Verstellantrieb mit einem Getriebemotor mit durch formschlüssige Selbsthemmung fixierbarer Stellposition gemäß Anspruch 1; ein Verstellantrieb mit den Merkmalen a) bis c) des Anspruchs 1 ist durch die DE-A1-29 11 024 bekannt.The invention relates to an adjustment drive with a geared motor with a position that can be fixed by positive self-locking according to claim 1; an adjustment drive with the features a) to c) of claim 1 is known from DE-A1-29 11 024.

Bei der durch die DE-A1-29 11 024 bekannten Antriebsvorrichtung zum Verstellen von Fensterscheiben, Schiebedächern und dgl.von Kraftfahrzeugen ist in dem Mitnehmer eine Sperrklinke derart unter Federdruck schwenkbar gelagert, daß sie einerseits sowohl bei motorischem antriebsseitigen als auch bei abtriebsseitigen Antrieb in den Zahnkranz einrastet, wobei beim motorischen Betrieb in der einen Drehrichtung (Heben) die Sperrklinke in Form einer Ratsche ohne Hemmung über die Zähne des Zahnkranzes gleitet und in der anderen Drehrichtung (Senken) durch einen Anschlag-Nocken entgegen dem Federdruck freigeklinkt bzw. bei einem abtriebsseitigen Antrieb in dieser Drehrichtung (Senken) durch den Federdruck im Sinne einer formschlüssigen Selbsthemmung in den Zahnkranz gedrückt wird. Ein Tangentialspiel zwischen dem Mitnehmer einerseits und dem Schneckenrad andererseits ist nur im Rahmen der elastischen Nachgiebigkeit des in der Mitnahme zwischen dem Schneckenrad und dem Mitnehmer zwischengeschalteten Dämpferelement möglich.In the drive device known from DE-A1-29 11 024 for adjusting window panes, sunroofs and the like of motor vehicles, a pawl is pivotably mounted in the driver under spring pressure in such a way that it is on the one hand both in the case of a motor-driven and also a drive-side drive The sprocket engages, whereby during motor operation in one direction of rotation (lifting) the pawl in the form of a ratchet slides over the teeth of the sprocket without inhibition and in the other direction of rotation (lowering) it is released against the spring pressure by a stop cam or in the case of an output side Drive in this direction of rotation (lowering) is pressed into the ring gear by the spring pressure in the sense of a positive self-locking. A tangential play between the driver on the one hand and the worm wheel on the other hand is only possible within the framework of the elastic flexibility of the damper element interposed in the driver between the worm wheel and the driver.

Eine demgegenüber gleich kompakte, jedoch auch in sämtlichen motorischen Betriebsarten vollständig freigeklinkte und somit nicht geräuschbehaftete Antriebsverbindung zwischen dem Schneckenrad einerseits und über den Mitnehmer der Abtriebswelle andererseits ist erfindungsgemäß durch den Verstellantrieb gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 möglich; vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen dieser Erfindung sind jeweils Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.A drive connection, on the other hand, which is equally compact, but also completely free-latched in all motor operating modes and thus not subject to noise, between the worm wheel on the one hand and via the driver of the output shaft on the other hand is possible according to the invention by the adjustment drive according to the features of claim 1; advantageous embodiments of this invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Durch die EP-A1-0 478 931 ist ein Verstellantrieb mit durch Selbsthemmung fixierbaren Verstellpositionen, insbesondere ein motorischer Kraftfahrzeug-Fensterheberantrieb, bekannt, dessen Abtrieb in einem Getriebegehäuse mit einem von einer Schneckenwelle angetriebenen Schneckenrad über einen dazu koaxial gelagerten Mitnehmer in Antriebsverbindung steht, wobei je Drehrichtung zumindest ein, mit seinem einen Ende in dem zum Schneckenrad koaxial gelagerten Mitnehmer derart schwenkbar gehaltener Schleifbremshebel vorgesehen ist, daß er mit seinem anderen freien Ende bei schneckenwellenseitigem Antrieb über eine zu dem Mitnehmer koaxiale getriebegehäusesseitige Bremsfläche jeweils von dem Mitnehmer schleifend mitnehmbar und bei entgegengesetzten abtriebsseitigen Antrieb gegen die Bremsfläche selbstverstärkend selbsthemmend anlegbar ist; eine derartige Selbsthemmung arbeitet nur kraftschlüssig und kann u.U. in extremen Belastungsfällen nicht eine hinreichende Blockierung des Antriebs gewährleisten.EP-A1-0 478 931 discloses an adjustment drive with adjustment positions which can be fixed by self-locking, in particular a motor vehicle window lift drive, the output of which is in drive connection in a gear housing with a worm wheel driven by a worm shaft via a driver coaxially mounted with it For each direction of rotation at least one, with its one end in the coaxially mounted driver to the worm wheel pivotally held brake lever is provided that it has its other free end with worm shaft drive via a coaxial to the driver gear surface on the brake housing surface can be dragged by the driver and at opposite output-side drive against the braking surface can be applied self-reinforcing self-locking; Such a self-locking works only non-positively and can possibly do not guarantee sufficient blocking of the drive in extreme load cases.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verstellantrieb ist gewährleistet, daß die im Fall einer gewünschten Selbsthemmung in dem Zahnkranz formschlüssig aufgrund ihrer Kniehebel-Wirkung fixierten Sperrklinken durch den Schleifring in einer Ruhestellung vollständig freigeklinkt und somit berührungslos zum Zahnkranz zurückgezogen und im Fall eine gewünschten Selbsthemmung durch die Relativbewegung zwischen dem Mitnehmer und dem Schleifring in ihre selbsthemmende Einklink-Arbeitsposition unter Verzicht auf alternde Federelemente gebracht werden können.In the case of the adjustment drive according to the invention, it is ensured that the pawls which are positively fixed in the toothed ring in the case of a desired self-locking in the toothed ring effect due to their toggle lever action are completely released by the slip ring in a rest position and thus withdrawn without contact to the ring gear and in the case of a desired self-locking by the relative movement between the Carrier and the slip ring can be brought into their self-locking engagement position without the need for aging spring elements.

Der Schleifwiderstand zwischen dem Schleifring und dem Getriebegehäuse ist in vorteilhafter Weise derart gewählt, daß einerseits bei motorischem Antrieb seine Mitnahme in der einen oder anderen Richtung möglichst widerstandslos gegeben, jedoch bei abtriebsseitigem Antrieb in der anderen Drehrichtung ein hinreichender Anschlagwiderstand zur Verschwenkung der Sperrklinke aus ihrer zum Zahnkranz berührungslosen Ruhestellung in ihre formschlüssig selbsthemmende Verrastung zum Zahnkranz gewährleistet ist; in besonders einfacher Weise wird eine derartige Vorspannung für den Schleifring dadurch erreicht, daß er aus einem unter Material- und/oder Formeigenspannung gegen das Getriebegehäuse anliegenden Kunststoffring gebildet ist, wobei vorzugsweise an den Kunststoffring die ersten Freilink-Nocken bzw. zweiten Sperrklink-Nocken einstückig angespritzt sind.The grinding resistance between the slip ring and the gear housing is advantageously chosen such that, on the one hand, the drive in one or the other direction is as unrestricted as possible in the case of a motor drive, but with sufficient drive resistance for pivoting the pawl out of it in the other direction of rotation when the drive is driven Sprocket non-contact rest position is guaranteed in its positive self-locking locking to the sprocket; Such a bias for the slip ring is achieved in a particularly simple manner in that it rests against the gear housing from a material and / or shape residual stress Plastic ring is formed, wherein preferably the first free-link cams or second pawl cams are integrally molded onto the plastic ring.

In einem topfförmigen Getriebegehäuse 1 eines Kraftfahrzeug-Fensterhebers ist ein Schneckenrad 2 um eine Getriebeachse 1.2 drehbar gelagert, dessen Außenzahnung 2.3 mit einer Schneckenwelle 7 kämmt, die Teil einer in das Getriebegehäuse 1 verlängerten Rotorwelle eines hier nicht dargestellten, an das Getriebe gehäuse 1 angeflanschten Kommutatormotors ausgebildet ist. Das Getriebegehäuse 1 wird an seiner offenen Seite durch einen Getriebegehäusedeckel 1.1 abgeschlossen.In a pot-shaped gear housing 1 of a motor vehicle window lifter, a worm wheel 2 is rotatably mounted about a gear axis 1.2, the external teeth 2.3 of which mesh with a worm shaft 7, which is part of a rotor shaft of an extended commutator motor, not shown here, which is flanged to the gear housing 1 is trained. The gear housing 1 is closed on its open side by a gear housing cover 1.1.

Das Schneckenrad 2 steht unter Zwischenschaltung eines Dämpfungsgliedes 5 in tangential elastischer Drehmitnahmeverbindung mit einem ebenfalls auf der Getriebeachse 1.2 drehbar gelagerten Mitnehmer 3 mit einem Antriebswellen-Innenritzel 3.3, das durch das außen tangential beweglich aufliegende Schneckenrad und durch eine Bohrung des Getriebedeckels 1.1 abtriebsseitig herausgeführt ist. Der Getriebegehäusedeckel 1.1 ist unter Zwischenlage von Dichtringen 1.11 bzw. 1.12 sowohl gegenüber dem Topfrand des Getriebegehäuses 1 als auch gegenüber dem Außenumfang des Abtriebswellen-Innenritzels 3.3 abgedichtet.The worm wheel 2 is interposed by an attenuator 5 in a tangentially elastic rotary driving connection with a driver 3, which is also rotatably mounted on the gear axis 1.2, with a drive shaft inner pinion 3.3, which is led out on the output side through the worm wheel, which is tangentially movable on the outside, and through a bore in the gear cover 1.1. The gear housing cover 1.1 is sealed with the interposition of sealing rings 1.11 and 1.12 both against the pot edge of the gear housing 1 and against the outer circumference of the output shaft inner pinion 3.3.

Zur tangential elastisch nachgiebigen und somit anschlagdämpfenden Drehmitnahme zwischen dem Schneckenrad 2 einerseits und dem Mitnehmer 3 andererseits greift das vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gespritzte Schneckenrad 2 mit über seinen Umfang verteilt einstückig angegossenen radialen Mitnahme-Stegen 2.1 in korrespondierende radiale Nuten eines Dämpfungsgliedes 5 formschlüssig ein. Zur Drehmitnahme zwischen dem Dämpfungsglied 5 und dem ebenfalls vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff gespritzten Mitnehmer 3 greift dieser mit über seinen Umfang einstückig angeformten radialen Mitnehmer-Nocken 3.1 in tangentiale Mitnehmer-Langlöcher 5.1 derart ein, daß durch die tangentiale Länge der Langlöcher 5.1 ein Tangentialspiel in der Drehmitnahme zwischen dem Schneckenrad 2 einerseits und dem Mitnehmer andererseits über das Tangentialspiel der elastischen Nachgiebigkeit des Dämpfungsglieds 5 hinaus möglich ist.For tangentially elastically flexible and thus stop-damping rotary driving between the worm wheel 2 on the one hand and the driver 3 on the other hand, the worm wheel 2, which is preferably injection-molded from plastic, engages with corresponding radial grooves of a damping member 5 with correspondingly integrally molded radial driving webs 2.1. For rotational driving between the damping member 5 and the driver 3, which is also preferably injection molded from plastic, the driver engages with tangential driving elongated holes 5.1 with integral radial overhanging cams 3.1 such that the tangential length of the elongated holes 5.1 results in tangential play in the rotational driving is possible between the worm wheel 2 on the one hand and the driver on the other hand beyond the tangential play of the elastic compliance of the damping member 5.

Konzentrisch zur Getriebeachse 1.2 sind am Innenumfang der Topfwand des Getriebegehäsues 1 Ausnehmungen in Form eines Zahnkranzes 1.3 mit Sägezahnprofilierung vorgesehen. Axial unterhalb des Zahnkranzes 1.3 ist ein Kunststoff-Schleifring 4 derart im Sinne eines Mindestschleifandruckes gelagert, daß er mit Anlageschultern 4.3 an der Schleiffläche des Getriebegehäuses 1 anliegt und durch Vorspannung von die Anlageschultern 4.3 verbindenden Federstegen 4.4 bei der Eindrück-Montage des Schleifrings 4 in das Getriebegehäuse 1 radial an die Schleiffläche im Getriebegehäuse 1 angedrückt wird.Concentric to the gear axis 1.2, 1 recesses in the form of a ring gear 1.3 with sawtooth profiling are provided on the inner circumference of the cup wall of the gear housing. A plastic slip ring 4 is mounted axially below the ring gear 1.3 in the sense of a minimum grinding pressure, that it rests with abutment shoulders 4.3 on the grinding surface of the gearbox housing 1 and is pressed radially against the grinding surface in the gearbox housing 1 by prestressing spring bars 4.4 connecting the abutment shoulders 4.3 when the slip ring 4 is pushed into the gearbox housing 1.

Über den Umfang des Mitnehmers 3 verteilt sind Sperrklinken 6 mit Lagerzapfen 6.1 in Sperrklinken-Lageraufnahmen 3.2 des Mitnehmers 3 derart schwenkbar gelagert, daß kniehebelartig die Verbindungslinie zwischen dem radialen Endpunkt des freien Endes der Sperrklinke 6 und deren Lagerpunkt im Mitnehmer 3 einerseits und zwischen dem Lagerpunkt und der Getriebeachse 1.2 andererseits in einem stumpfen Winkel zur direkten Verbindunglinie zwischen dem freien Ende der Sperrklinke 6 und der Getriebeachse 1.2 verlaufen.Distributed over the circumference of the driver 3, pawls 6 with journals 6.1 in pawl bearing receptacles 3.2 of the driver 3 are pivoted such that the connecting line between the radial end point of the free end of the pawl 6 and its bearing point in the driver 3, on the one hand, and between the bearing point and the gear axis 1.2, on the other hand, run at an obtuse angle to the direct connecting line between the free end of the pawl 6 and the gear axis 1.2.

Der Schleifring 4 weist jeweils einen ersten Freiklink-Nocken 4.1 - in Drehrichtung n₁ gesehen - vor der Sperrklinke 6 und in Nähe seiner Anlageschulter 4.3 sowie einen zweiten Sperrklink-Nocken 4.2 hinter der Sperrklinke 6 auf. In Drehrichtung n₁ gesehen ragt weiterhin ein axialer Anschlag-Nocken 2.2 des Schneckenrades 2 bis in den axialen Bereich des ersten Freiklink-Nockens 4.1.The slip ring 4 each has a first free-latch cam 4.1 - seen in the direction of rotation n 1 - in front of the pawl 6 and in the vicinity of its contact shoulder 4.3 and a second pawl cam 4.2 behind the pawl 6. Viewed in the direction of rotation n 1, an axial stop cam 2.2 of the worm wheel 2 also projects into the axial region of the first free-latch cam 4.1.

Bei motorischem Betrieb zum Heben der Fensterscheibe wird das Schneckenrad 2 über die Schneckenwelle 7 in der einen Drehrichtung n₁ angetrieben. Das Schneckenrad 2 steht über seine formschlüssig in korrespondierenden Nuten des Dämpfungsgliedes 5 eingreifenden Mitnahme-Stege 2.1 in Drehmitnahme zunächst mit dem Dämpfungsglied 5 und nach tangentialem Anschlag der Mitnahmenocken 3.1 des Mitnehmers 3 an die eine oder andere Stirnseite der Langlöcher 5.1 auch in elastisch gedämpfter Drehmitnahme mit dem Mitnehmer 3. Beim anschließenden Drehen des Mitnehmers 3 in der einen Drehrichtung n₁ kommt die Sperrklinke 6 derart zur Anlage an den ersten Freiklink-Nocken 4.1, daß bei vollständiger Ausklinkung aus dem Zahnkranz 1.3 der Schleifring 4 über den ersten Freiklink-Nocken 4.1 mitbewegt wird. Dies bedeutet, daß bei motorischem Antrieb in der einen Drehrichtung n₁ eine Momentenübertragung von der Schneckenwelle 7 auf das Abtriebswellen-Innenritzel bei vollständiger Freiklinkung der Sperrklinke 6 aus dem Zahnkranz 1.3 und somit geräuschlos gewährleistet ist.In motor operation for lifting the window pane, the worm wheel 2 is driven via the worm shaft 7 in one direction of rotation n 1. The worm wheel 2 is in contact with the damping member 5 and after tangential stop of the driving cams 3.1 of the driver 3 via its driving webs 2.1 engaging in a form-fitting manner in corresponding grooves of the damping member 5 one or the other end face of the elongated holes 5.1 also in elastically damped rotary driving with the driver 3. When the driver 3 is subsequently rotated in one direction of rotation n 1, the pawl 6 comes into contact with the first free-latch cam 4.1 so that when fully released from the Gear ring 1.3 of the slip ring 4 is also moved over the first free-click cam 4.1. This means that with a motor drive in one direction of rotation n 1 torque transmission from the worm shaft 7 to the output shaft inner pinion with complete free release of the pawl 6 from the ring gear 1.3 and thus noiseless is guaranteed.

Bei motorischem Antrieb in der anderen Drehrichtung n₂ wird wiederum zunächst das Dämpfungsglied 5 über die Mitnahmestege 2.1 von dem Schneckenrad 2 tangential mitgenommen. Bevor jedoch die Mitnahme-Nocken 3.1 des Mitnehmers 3 an die Stirnseite der Langlöcher 5.1 anschlagen und damit den Mitnehmer 3 anschlaggedämpft in Bewegung setzen, gelangen die an das Schneckenrad 2 axial angeformten Anschlag-Nocken 2.2 derart zur Anlage an die ersten Freiklink-Nocken 4.1 des Schleifringes 4, daß dieser um einen geringen tangentialen Winkel in der anderen Drehrichtung n₂ zunächst bewegt wird und dabei eine Freiklinkung der Sperrklinke 6 gewährleistet. Erst nach dieser Freiklinkung wird durch Anlage der Mitnahme-Nocken 3.1 an die zugehörigen Stirnseiten der Langlöcher 5.1 des Dämpfungsglied 5 auch der Mitnehmer 3 mit Anschlagdämpfung mitgenommen und damit der Abtriebswellen-Innenritzel 3.3 in Richtung n₂ (Senken) bewegt.In the case of a motor drive in the other direction of rotation n₂, the attenuator 5 is again carried tangentially by the worm wheel 2 via the driving webs 2.1. However, before the driving cams 3.1 of the driver 3 strike the end face of the elongated holes 5.1 and thus set the driver 3 in motion in a cushioned manner, the stop cams 2.2 formed axially on the worm wheel 2 come into contact with the first free-click cams 4.1 of the Slip ring 4 that this is initially moved by a small tangential angle in the other direction of rotation n₂ and thereby ensures free locking of the pawl 6. Only after this free-locking is the driver 3 with stop damping carried along by contact of the driving cams 3.1 on the associated end faces of the elongated holes 5.1 of the damping member 5 and thus the output shaft inner pinion 3.3 is moved in the direction of n 2 (lowering).

Bei einem abtriebsseitigen Antrieb der Mitnehmerscheibe 3, z.B. durch Erschütterungen oder durch ungewolltes händisches Aufdrücken der Fensterscheibe, führt der Mitnehmer 3 eine Relativbewegung zum Schneckenrad 2 derart aus, daß vor einer tangentialen Mitnahme des Schneckenrades 2 das zuvor freigeschwenkte freie Ende der Sperrklinke 6 gegen den zweiten Sperrklink-Nocken 4.2 des Schleifringes 4 zur Anlage kommt. Aufgrund des Schleifwiderstandes zwischen dem Schleifring 4 und dem diesen unter leichtem radialen Druck aufnehmenden Getriebegehäuse 1 wird bei der Bewegung des Mitnehmers 3 in der anderen Drehrichtung n₂ die Sperrklinke 6 zum Eingriff in den Zahnkranz 1.3 gebracht. Sobald das freie Ende der Sperrklinke 6 zur Anlage an den Zahnkranz 1.3 gekommen ist, wird die Sperrklinke 6 bei noch weiterer tangentialer Bewegung des Mitnehmers 3 in der anderen Drehrichtung n₂ aufgrund ihrer Kniehebelwirkung selbsthemmend in ihrer Eingriffslage zum Zahnkranz 1.3 fixiert und somit der Sperrklink-Nocken 4.2 entlastet.When the drive plate 3 is driven on the output side, for example by vibrations or by unintentional manual Pressing on the window pane, the driver 3 executes a relative movement to the worm wheel 2 in such a way that, before tangential entrainment of the worm wheel 2, the previously pivoted free end of the pawl 6 comes into contact with the second pawl cam 4.2 of the slip ring 4. Due to the grinding resistance between the slip ring 4 and the gear housing 1 which receives this under slight radial pressure, the pawl 6 is brought into engagement with the ring gear 1.3 when the driver 3 moves in the other direction of rotation n 2. As soon as the free end of the pawl 6 comes into contact with the ring gear 1.3, the pawl 6 is self-lockingly fixed in its engagement position to the ring gear 1.3 with still further tangential movement of the driver 3 in the other direction of rotation n 2 and thus the pawl cam 4.2 relieved.

Der Schleifwiderstand zwischen dem Schleifring 4 und dem Getriebegehäuse 1 ist derart gewählt, daß einerseits beim motorischen Antrieb seiner Mitnahme in der einen oder anderen Drehrichtung n₁ bzw. n₂ möglichst widerstandslos gegeben, jedoch bei abtriebsseitigem Antrieb in der anderen Drehrichtung n₂ ein hinreichender Anschlagwiderstand zur Verschwenkung der Sperrklinke 6 in ihre formschlüssig selbsthemmende Verrastung im Zahnkranz 1.3 gewährleistet ist.The grinding resistance between the slip ring 4 and the gear housing 1 is chosen such that, on the one hand, when driving the motor drive in one or the other direction of rotation n 1 or n 2, as resistance-free as possible, however, with the drive-side drive in the other direction of rotation n 2, there is sufficient impact resistance for pivoting the Pawl 6 is guaranteed in its positive self-locking latching in the ring gear 1.3.

Wie insbesondere aus FIG 2 und FIG 3 ersichtlich, sind das Schneckenrad bzw. der Mitnehmer bzw. die Sperrklinken einschließlich ihrer Lagerungen, ihrer Mitnahmen oder ihrer Verrastungen im Sinne einer axialen Steckmontagetechnik ausgebildet.As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the worm wheel or the driver or the pawls including their bearings, their entrainment or their catches are designed in the sense of an axial plug-in assembly technique.
