1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a door handle device, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a holding device with a door handle that is arranged on an outer side of the holding device so as to be pivotable between at least one basic position and at least one pivoted opening position. At least one damping device is provided for at least partially damping a closing movement of the door handle from the pivoted opening position into the basic position.
2. Description of the Related Art
The prior art includes a very wide variety of door handle devices for motor vehicles in which a door outside handle is pivotable from a closed into an open position. For example, FR 2 960 898 A1 discloses a door handle that is arranged pivotably on the bodywork. The disclosed door handle arrangement has a chamber with by an elastic wall. The chamber is filled with air for damping the closing movement of the door handle and to reduce the closing noise. The elastic air chamber always is subjected to the contact pressure of the door handle in the closed state of the door. Furthermore, the elastic air chamber is fit on the outer side of the vehicle and therefore is exposed to environmental influences. As a result, aging phenomena may occur and the operability may diminish over time.
DE 100 30 331 A1 discloses a door outside handle for vehicles. A piston-cylinder device is arranged on the inner side and functions for damping the operation of the door outside handle,. However, damping disadvantageously takes place during the closing movement of the outside door handle, and a considerable resistance occurs during the opening movement. In addition, the structural outlay is relatively large.
It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a door handle device which reliable damping takes place during the closing movement of a door handle.
A door handle device according to the invention is provided for use on a motor vehicle and comprises a holding device with a door handle arranged on an outer side of the holding device so as to be pivotable between at least one basic position and at least one pivoted opening position. At least one damping device is provided for at least partially damping a closing movement of the door handle from the pivoted opening position into the basic position. A pivotable balancing device for interaction with the damping device is arranged on an inner side of the holding device. The pivotable balancing device is coupled via a coupling device to the door handle so that a pivoting movement of the door handle brings about an opposite rotational movement of the balancing device. The pivot axis about which the door handle pivots can be horizontal or vertical.
The door handle device can comprise a door handle designed as an outside door handle.
The door handle device of the invention has many advantages. One considerable advantage of the door handle device is that the door handle is coupled via a coupling device to a pivotable balancing device. As a result, it is possible for the damping of the movement of the door handle to be decoupled from the door handle itself. The coupling device and the coupling of the balancing device to the door handle enables the damping to take place at the balancing device.
A further advantage is that a pivoting movement of the door handle brings about an opposite rotational movement of the balancing device, and therefore an inadvertent actuation or an inadvertent opening of the door in the event of a transverse acceleration is prevented reliably.
The balancing device may comprise at least one balancing bracket that is pivotable in a direction opposite to the door handle. The balancing device also may be formed by the balancing bracket. An integrally formed balancing weight or a separately attached balancing weight can be provided at the end of the balancing bracket or the end of the balancing device to provide a counterweight. The balancing weight need not be at the remote end of the balancing bracket and can be spaced somewhat from the end.
The damping device may comprise at least one air buffer. The air buffer may have at least one outflow opening. However, an air buffer can be formed without an opening and can have an elastic wall on which the balancing device or the coupling device acts to form the damping device.
The damping device may comprise at least one wall made of an elastic material. The wall can form and delimit an air volume. The air buffer can be ball-shaped, peg-shaped, eggshaped, hemispherical, funnel-shaped or cylindrical, and may be acted upon with pressure by the balancing device during the closing movement so that the air buffer brings about a damping of the closing movement.
The air buffer may have at least one inflow opening that is at least substantially closed indirectly or directly by the balancing device during the closing movement. The balancing device may strike indirectly or directly against the inflow opening of the air buffer so that the inflow opening of the air buffer is closed and the air buffer brings about a damping of the closing movement.
The air buffer may have an inflow opening of this type, into which a correspondingly designed part of the balancing device enters during the closing movement. For example, a piston-like part of the balancing device of can enter into a correspondingly configured (e.g. round or cylindrical) part of the air buffer to damp a closing movement. In these refinements, the air buffer may have at least one outflow opening through which compressed air can escape.
A rough gap size may exist between an entering piston and the air buffer wall surrounding the piston. Thus, an outflow opening is provided between the outer side of the piston and the inner side of the wall. In an alternative refinement, the balancing device strikes against the outflow opening of the air buffer. Thus, part of the balancing device that bears against the air buffer does not bear against the full surface area, and therefore an outflow opening is provided.
In one development, the entire area of all of the inflow openings is larger than the entire area of all of the outflow openings. For example, the air buffer can be of hemispherical or funnel-shape, with the inflow opening at one end and an outflow opening at another end.
The balancing device may act on a plurality of air buffers, and the action can take place simultaneously or in a temporally offset manner. For example, two or more air buffers can be loaded simultaneously by the balancing device. Alternatively, a first air buffer can be loaded and subsequently a second and/or a third.
In all of the refinements, the balancing device may have at least one balancing weight. It is possible for the balancing device to comprise two balancing brackets that are spaced apart from each other and are connected to each other, for example, via a balancing weight. The balancing weight can directly provide the stop surface for the air buffer or the air buffers.
A balancing weight on the balancing device leads to greater inertia, and therefore an undesired or inadvertent opening of the door handle during a transverse acceleration of the motor vehicle is prevented.
The door handle and the balancing device may pivot about the same pivot axis. One of the two components can then be connected to the pivot axis for rotation therewith while the other is arranged rotatably on the pivot axis. However, the door handle and the balancing device may be pivotable about different pivot axes. The two components can be fastened to the respective pivot axis for rotation therewith or in a rotatable manner.
The door handle and the balancing device can be coupled to each other via the coupling device over at least one pivoting angle range and may be coupled to each other at least substantially over the complete pivoting range.
The coupling device may have at least one rotation reversal device to ensure that, during pivoting of the door handle in one direction of rotation, the balancing device is pivoted in the other direction of rotation.
The coupling device may comprise a first gear wheel coupled to the door handle for rotation therewith and a second gear wheel coupled to the balancing device for rotation therewith. The two gear wheels can engage with or couple to each other directly or indirectly. The two gear wheels may be coupled to each other via a coupling means, such as a belt or a chain. However, it is also possible for further gear wheels and/or toothed belts and/or chains to be provided between the two gear wheels to transmit the rotational movement of the one gear wheel in a coupled manner to the other gear wheel. At least one of the gear wheels may be a friction wheel or a gear wheel.
The door handle may comprise a handle and at least one lateral door lever.
The door handle, in the basic position, may bear against an elastic or soft basic surface. Such an elastic or soft basic surface leads to further damping of the closing movement of the door handle in addition to damping of the damping device.
The door handle device cushions the closing movement with the aid of a balancing bracket that is fastened to the door recess, as a balancing device. During the movement back of the door handle, the balancing bracket of the balancing device likewise drops back and a damping device strikes against one or more air buffers.
The door handle device permits reliable and substantially permanent operation. The construction is structurally simple. The use of air buffers with a large volume is feasable because the air buffers are on the inner side of the door handle device. A reliable and sufficient damping is achieved during the closing movement, while no additional resistance is produced during the opening movement.
Further advantages and features of the invention emerge from the exemplary embodiments that are explained below with respect to the attached figures.
The door handle 6 can be pivoted overall via the handle 26 about a pivot axis running approximately horizontally and transferred into the opening position 5 depicted in
The door handle device 1 depicted in
The door handle 6 is arranged to be pivotable about the pivot axis 18 with the door lever 28, which is visible in
The outer side 3 of the holding device 2 can be the outer surface or the outer skin of a motor vehicle. The holding device 2 can be part of the outer skin or is covered by the outer skin and an external structure.
The door handle 6 can be pivoted in the direction of the arrow 8 for a closing movement that transfers the door handle 6 from the opening position 5 illustrated in
A soft pad on the stop 31 can serve for the additional damping but may not be sufficient—depending on construction space specifications—if the pad is relatively thin and consequently has only a relatively small damping action. The pad of the stop 31 may be soft or may be composed of two or more components hard/soft.
Inner sides of the air buffers 12, 13 have extensive inflow openings 16 with an area that is a multiple of the area of the outflow openings 14. A ratio of the inflow opening 16 to the outflow opening 14 preferably is greater than ten and may be greater than twenty or more.
One of the balancing brackets of the balancing device 10 is arranged pivotably about the pivot axes 19, as shown in
The balancing weight 17 has an approximately cuboidal cross section. In the exemplary embodiment, the inflow opening 16 of the air buffers 12, 13 of the damping device 7 is closed by the balancing weight 17 during the closing movement 8. After the closing of the inflow opening 16, the air buffers 12, 13 are compressed by the mass of the balancing weight 17 so that the elastic wall 15 deforms elastically. At the same time, the interior space of the air buffers 12, 13 is placed under positive pressure while only a small portion of the contained air escapes through the outflow openings 14. As a result, the air buffers 12, 13 form air springs, the spring action of which decreases over time by the gas flowing out. Thus, the balancing weight 17 reliably reaches the end position thereof.
In this embodiment, the balancing device 10 is formed by a balancing bracket, and the balancing weight 17 is fastened thereto. In other refinements, two or more balancing brackets 10 may be provided and may be connected to one another.
The front side of the balancing weight 17 closes the inflow openings 16 of the air buffers 12 and 13 during the pivoting from the opening position 5 into the basic position 4. The air buffers 12 and 13 are deformed elastically during further pivoting movement, while the contained air volume escapes on the outer side of the handle recess 29 through the outflow openings 14, not visible in detail here.
In the simplified illustration of
The rotation reversal device 21 is formed by the two gear wheels 22 and 23 and forms a coupling 25 that is wound, for example, around the gear wheels 22, 23 in the shape of an “8”. As a result, a clockwise rotation of the first gear wheel 22 causes a counterclockwise rotation of the second gear wheel 23 so that the balancing device 10 is pivoted inward during pivoting of the handle 26 outward.
The invention provides an advantageous door handle device in which the door handle and the balancing device are coupled. The balancing device can comprise balancing brackets, counterbrackets or the like. The coupling of the rotation movements can take place via toothed wheels, friction belts, friction wheels or toothed belts or the like.
The damping device for damping the closing movement comprises at least one air buffer with an outlet opening. The air buffer can have an approximately U-shaped cross section or a buffer volume in the shape of a half shell, or the like. The large opening in the air buffer can be closed by the balancing bracket, the balancing device or the like.
The invention provides a door handle device 1 with a bearing bracket and a handle mechanism. The balancing device has a mass balancing weight that serves as a counterweight during the pivoting of the door handle 6. Thus, an unintentional opening of the door handle 6 during a transverse acceleration of a motor vehicle is prevented. The mass balancing weight of the balancing device pivots in the opposite direction with the door handle such that opposed forces are in action.
The disclosed construction enables large-volume air buffers for damping air to be installed in the interior of the holding device or the bearing bracket. The air buffers 12, 13 have an air chamber that is vented only by a small outflow opening 14. As a result, the impact speed of the balancing device 10 is damped and the closing speed of the handle 6 is throttled considerably. The outflow opening 14 ensures that the end position will be reached.
