Like from the 1 can be seen, is a holding plate 1 a top rail 3 assigned. On the retaining plate 1 are fastening straps 11a ; 11b for the drive motor 2 provided so that the drive motor 2 firmly with the retaining plate 1 and thus firmly with the top rail 3 connected is.

The upper frame of the vehicle seat, not shown here is on the top rail 3 attached.

On both sides of the drive motor 2 are drive shafts 21 and 22 arranged. Preferably, flexible shafts are used for this purpose. These drive shafts 21 . 22 make the connection to a transmission 9 her, the location, training and function will be explained in more detail below.

The top rail 3 slides directly or not shown adjusting and / or bearing elements on a fixed to the vehicle floor bottom rail 4 ,

In functional position of the upper rail 3 and bottom rail 4 These are held by their contact or storage areas so that a cavity 31 results. Within this cavity 31 is a threaded spindle 5 arranged, these being between brackets 6a and 6b is recorded on the bottom rail 4 are fixed. The connection between the brackets 6a ; 6b via fastening nuts 6c ; 6d ; 6c '; 6d ' ,

The threaded spindle 5 works with the gearbox 9 Together, also in the cavity 31 arranged and stationary in the upper rail 3 is stored. This arrangement is in 2 shown. The gear 9 is in a U-shaped holding tion 8th held, with the upper rail, not shown here 3 is firmly connected. Between the thighs 86a ; 86b the brackets 8th and the transmission 9 are decoupling elements 10a ; 10b inserted to decouple resulting noise and compensate for tolerances.

Another embodiment of the storage of the transmission 9 This is in the top rail 3 over an extended bracket 8th' to realize. This bracket is in the 3 shown. The gearbox not shown here 9 is analogous to in 2 shown type in the transmission receiving part 81 the holder 8th' stored. The thigh 82a . 82b the holder 8th' are at the top rail 3 attached. In the exemplary embodiment, these are with the upper rail 3 screwed. For this reason, the legs 82a . 82b mounting holes 83 on that with the in 1 illustrated mounting holes 30 in the top rail 3 correspond. The mounting holes 83 become weld nuts 84 assigned, that is, the weld nuts 84 are welded to the openings. This show the weld nuts 84 in the direction of the cavity 31 , Instead of welding nuts 84 are also unitary nuts or punching nuts used. Another possibility is to produce passages instead of the nuts, which may be provided with an internal thread. Combinations of the possibilities described above can also be used. Through this connection or screwing the bracket 8th' with the top rail 3 its stiffness is improved. By arranging the above-mentioned welding nuts 84 or the passages, it is possible the transmission 9 with the bracket 8th' in front to assemble completely and this unit in the cavity 31 the already mounted rail guide 3 ; 4 insert. About the mounting holes 83 and can the top rail 3 with the bracket 8th' be screwed.

The brackets 8th ; 8th' have in a further embodiment Sollverformungsstellen 87a ; 87b on, between thighs 86a ; 86b the transmission mount 81 and thighs 82a ; 82b the holder 82a ; 82b are arranged. These nominal deformation points 87a ; 87b In the simplest case, appropriately sized weld seams can be used. But it is also possible, as Sollverformungsstellen 87a ; 87b Insert angle or other profiles at this point. All these elements are dimensioned so that they yield only at a predetermined target load and only then the legs 86a ; 86b or the transmission receptacle 81 is deformed. This then happens so that when exceeding a predetermined maximum load limit the legs 86a ; 86b Swivel sideways while the threaded spindle 5 jam. In the event of a crash, this contributes to an additional securing of the vehicle seat.

The two thighs 82a ; 82b the holder 8th' are angled and point in the angle ranges 85a ; 85b a material broadening on the cavity 31 largely completed. As a result, the rigidity of the rail guide, that is, its resistance to buckling, can be improved. The entanglement of the upper rail 3 with the bottom rail 4 remains engaged.

In the thighs 82a ; 82b introduced holes 88a ; 88b serve to center the bracket 8th' to the top rail 3 , For example, by blind rivets, not shown here. The in the thighs 86a ; 86b arranged passages 89a ; 89b increase the critical cross section of the bracket 8th' and contribute to a safe power transmission in the event of a crash.

Like from the 4 As can be seen, the transmission consists 9 from a drive screw 91 that over the outer worm gearing 92 ' a spindle nut 92 engaged. The drive screw 91 is over the drive shaft 21 ; 22 with the drive motor 2 connected (see 1 ). The spindle nut 92 is about its internal thread of the threaded spindle 5 assigned.

For the operation of the device: rotates the drive motor 2 so he transmits his movement via the drive shaft 21 ; 22 on the drive screw 91 , This transmits its rotary motion to the spindle nut 92 , Because the threaded spindle 5 rotatably, the transmission must 9 and thus the associated upper rail 3 including motor vehicle seat perform a translational movement (see 1 ).

In the 4 is an exploded view of the structure of the transmission 9 shown. It can be seen that the transmission elements, consisting of a drive screw 91 and a spindle nut 92 in the housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b a transmission housing 7 are stored. In the 5 is the transmission 9 shown in the assembled state. It can be seen that the drive screw 91 over bearing bores 73a and 73b in the housing plate 71a and 71b is stored while the spindle nut 92 in bearing bores 74a and 74b the housing plate 72a and 72b is stored. For the axial start-up of the spindle nut 92 and the drive screw 91 are slices 95 and 96 provided, for axial clearance compensation wave washers 95 '; 96 ' ,

From the 5 . 6 . 7 . 8th and 9 is a possible construction of the gear housing 7 seen. As in the 5 to 7 recognizable, this consists of two opposite, disc-shaped housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b , wherein the housing plates in the detail view according to 6 and 7 each with the reference numerals 71 respectively. 72 are provided. The housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b are preferably made of a sintered material; but there are also other materials, such as cast iron, steel or plastic used. The housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b are made to their final dimensions. This also affects the bearing bores 73a ; 73b ; 74a ; 74b whose position in the housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b and also their fitting tolerances.

The matching, opposing housing plates 71a ; 71b and 72a ; 72b are identical in shape. In this case, a pair, in the exemplary embodiment, it is the housing plates 72a ; 72b as bars 76 formed areas on the edges of the housing plates 72a ; 72b are arranged, so along the plane of the housing plates 72a ; 72b extend. The opposite sides 761 ; 761 ' of the bridges 76 are either parallel, conical or have scraper ribs.

In the edge areas of the housing plates 71a ; 71b are corresponding, designed as a continuous openings recesses 75 transverse to the plane of the housing plates 71a ; 71b arranged. These recesses 75 point to the sides 761 ; 761 ' of the bridges 76 parallel surfaces 752 ; 752 ' on.

Other possible embodiments of the housing plates are in the 8th and 9 shown. These are once two L-förmi ge housing plates 77a ; 77b , This L-shaped housing plate 77a ; 77b wear webs on one of their thighs 76 ' , analogous to the embodiment described above with recesses 75 ' correspond. The corresponding bearing bores 73 ' and 74 ' are, as already described above, introduced into the housing plates.

In the 9 a transmission housing is shown which consists of a U-shaped housing plate 78 and one of these associated disk-shaped housing plate 79 consists. The legs of the U-shaped housing plate 78 also carry bars 76 '' in corresponding recesses 75 '' the disc-shaped housing plate 79 intervention.

For installation, the webs 76 ; 76 '; 76 '' in the recesses 75 ; 75 '; 75 '' plugged. The dimensions of the recesses 75 ; 75 '; 75 '' and footbridges 76 ; 76 '; 76 '' are coordinated so that either mounting fits or press fits can be formed by assembly process. After plugging together, the location of the recesses 75 and the bridges 76 and thus the position of the drive screw 91 to the spin delmutter 92 fixed and thus finally determined by the material in the area of the connectors is plastically deformed.

The assembly of the gearbox 7 can be supported by automatic processes or fully replaced. This will now be below with disc-shaped housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b explained. The assembly of the L-shaped housing plates 77 and U-shaped housing plates 78 respectively. 79 takes place analogously. For this purpose, the gear elements (drive worm 91 , Spindle nut 92 ; slices 95 ; 96 , Wave washers 95 '; 96 ' ) including the housing (housing plates 71 ; 72 ) pre-assembled. That is, the transmission elements are inserted into the bearing bores provided for this purpose and the housing plates 71 ; 72 be plugged together.

This pre-assembled gearbox 9 is now inserted into a combined holding and caulking, which is the transmission 9 detected on its outer contour. The holding takes place in the direction of the plane of the housing plates 72a ; 72b , where the holding forces applied to the four corners of the housing plate 71a or 71b attack, be kept relatively low.

The gear 9 is now moved, preferably by the drive screw 92 is turned. At least one revolution must take place. The housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b can align themselves so tension free. After completion of this movement, the holding forces are amplified, so that the transmission elements 91 ; 92 and housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b be held in this position and slipping is prevented. A caulking now engages in the region of the connectors, that is, in the contact Stel len between the webs 76 ; 76 ' and 76 '' and the recesses 75 ; 75 ' and 75 '' and plastically deforms the material at these points. The deformation takes place so that thereby the material forms, for example, undercuts and so the position of the housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b be definitively fixed to each other.

To a deformation of the bearing bores 74a ; 74b the spindle nut 92 To avoid the caulking does not occur over the entire length of the connectors. It is performed only in the area caulking, where an influence of the forces on the bearing area of the spindle nut 92 in the housing plate 72 and thus a deformation of the bearing bores 74 can be excluded.

The fixation of the housing plates 71a ; 71b ; 72a ; 72b can also be done in that the material is welded in the region of the connectors using laser technology. Another possibility is. the location of the housing plates 71 ; 72 to fix each other by casting the material in the region of the connectors.

Another embodiment of the method is that the rotation of the gear elements takes place for the purpose of alignment with a higher speed. It is expedient to work with the rated speed or with a rotational speed of the transmission lying above this. The resulting centrifugal forces hold during the movement, the position of the transmission elements 91 ; 92 stable to each other, so that the fixation can take place here during the movement.

The bearing of the threaded spindle 5 can still be further designed so that the brackets 6a ; 6b (please refer 2 ) of the threaded spindle 5 vibration damping bushings (not shown here) or similar components are assigned.

Furthermore, it is provided, the storage of the threaded spindle 5 equipped with an emergency operation. This is necessary in case of a defect of the gearbox 9 unscrewing the threaded spindle 5 to enable. As a result, the motor vehicle seat can also be moved in this case, which is necessary for its removal, since the screw connection of the holder 6a ; 6b with the bottom rail 4 through the top rail 3 can be covered. If you want to solve the screw, so must the top rail 3 to the bottom rail 4 be moved.

For this purpose, it is provided that the bearing of the threaded spindle on at least one holder 6a ; 6b equipped with a predetermined breaking point and the threaded spindle 5 at least one end with one Positive-locking element 52 to be provided, which can be detected and rotated in use with a tool. In the 10 to 17 such embodiments are shown.

In the 10 an embodiment is shown in which, for example, a threaded element 60 is used, the material weakening at its periphery as a circumferential groove 61 having. But there are also other material weakenings possible, such as notches or the like. The threaded element 60 is with one of the brackets 6a ; 6b welded. In order to form a predetermined breaking point, is in the region of the groove 61 the material with the threaded spindle 5 crimped. This is done at two opposite attack points (see arrows), with a one-sided pinch is also possible. In case of emergency operation, the threaded spindle 5 twisted and thus overcome holding force of the pinch.

As threaded elements 60 For example, welding, stamping or sheet-metal nuts can be used, which make material or non-positive connections with the material.

In 11 a simple variant is shown. Here is instead of a threaded element 60 a draft 62 in the holder 6a ; 6b made, with a thread for receiving the threaded spindle 5 is provided. The passage 62 comes with the threaded spindle 5 squeezed (see arrows).

12 shows a solution in which analogous to the in 10 variant shown a threaded element 60 ' with the bracket 6a ; 6b is welded. This threaded element 60 ' is through a locknut 63 braced. In case of emergency operation, the lock nut 63 solved and so the threaded spindle 5 to be turned around.

In 13 a similar solution is shown. A mother 64 but not here with the bracket 6a ; 6b welded, but form-fitting via a stop 6e held on the bracket 6a ; 6b is appropriate. The bracing is also done via a lock nut 63 , As a predetermined breaking point here is at least one weld point 60a between the mother 64 and the threaded spindle 5 intended.

The 14 and 15 show a solution in which a locking plate 65 is arranged, which is a tab 65a having one between the holder 6a and the locking plate 65 arranged mother 64 ' secures in their position. As a predetermined breaking point is here a preferably made of plastic anti-rotation 66 used. This is form-fitting with its outer contour in a threaded spindle receiving bore 65b of the lock plate 65 inserted. The positive engagement is here by at least one on the circumference of the rotation 66 molded positive locking element 66a achieved, with a corresponding recess 65c in the threaded spindle receiving bore 65b corresponds. The anti-twist device 66a is with the threaded spindle 5 rotatably connected by one at the end of the threaded spindle 5 attached square or a geometrically differently formed element in the corresponding inner contour 66b the rotation lock engages.

In case of emergency operation, the threaded spindle 5 including the anti-twist device 66 twisted, causing the destruction of the rotation 66 leads. Thus, the threaded spindle 5 to be moved.

16 shows another possible use of an anti-rotation element made of plastic. Here is in a threaded spindle receiving openings of both brackets 6a ; 6b a plastic fuse 67a molded, such that the circular cross-section of the receiving opening 67 is maintained, the width b of the plastic fuse, however, larger than the diameter d of the receiving opening 67 is. The crushing and thus the formation of the predetermined breaking point is effected by forces in the direction of the arrows. This creates the possibility that the threaded spindle 5 can transmit both tensile and compressive forces and is secured against twisting.

In case of emergency operation, the plastic fuse 67a knocked out, so that the threaded spindle 5 can escape into the space released or, if necessary, can be pressed with the help of a tool, not shown here in this room. This is the threaded spindle 5 free and the vehicle seat can be removed without the threaded spindle 5 must be turned.

In the 17 becomes a special crusher 68 shown, which is analogous to that of the 10 example described with a holder 6a ; 6b is welded and a circumferential groove 61 ' having as material weakening. The squeezing on the threaded spindle 5 and the emergency operation is analogous to the example 10 , In this example, however, is on the of the brackets 6a ; 6b opposite side on the special crimped nut 68 a spacer 69 arranged, which is the travel path of the upper rail 3 on the bottom rail 4 limited. A variable end stop can be achieved, for example, via plastic clips, not shown here, which are fastened separately on the threaded spindle during assembly of the motor vehicle seat.

In order to be able to carry out the emergency operation described above, (with the exception of the 16 described example) for rotating the threaded spindle 5 their end with a tool be detected. For this purpose, the end of the threaded spindle 5 ment with a suitably trained Formschlußele 52 be provided. This can be done, for example, by this one-sided or two-sided flattened or by an inner or outer polygon, preferably a square is provided.

The use of the transmission according to the invention described above is not only on the operation of a threaded spindle 5 limited. The use of a rack is also possible. 18 shows schematically the arrangement of such a device, within the transmission housing according to the invention 7 ' is arranged. The drive worm meshes 91 ' with a worm wheel 93 in that axially with a worm 94 is firmly connected. The snail 94 is with the teeth of a rack 51 engaged.

Due to the rotational movement of the drive motor, not shown here is a rotational movement on the drive screw 91 ' transfer. This moves the worm wheel 93 and thus the snail 94 , resulting in a relative movement between the rack 51 and the gearbox leads. With this device, a seat adjustment or a window or other adjustment can also be operated in a motor vehicle.

In the 19 a schematic diagram is shown, from which one can see a possibility for the use of the invention for driving a window regulator on a vehicle door. Like in the 19 to see is a windowpane 12 between two guide rails 131 ; 132 held, which are arranged on each side of the vehicle door. At the bottom edge 12 ' the windowpane 12 is over a retaining rail 14 a window motor 15 arranged, which is powered by a cable. The drive shaft 23 the window motor 15 is with the gearbox 9 connected. The structure of the gearbox 9 was already based on the 4 described in more detail. That is, inside the gearbox 7 There is a drive screw, not shown here, via a spindle nut with a threaded spindle 5 ' is engaged. The threaded spindle 5 is about bracket 161 ; 162 rotatably on the inner door panel 17 attached. The axis of the threaded spindle must 5 in the direction of the direction of movement of the windowpane 12 demonstrate.

The window motor rotates 15 , So the spindle nut is rotated via the drive screw, not shown here. Because the threaded spindle 5 ' is rotationally fixed, the unit is firmly connected together from gear 9 , Window motor 15 and windowpane 12 along the axis of the threaded spindle 5 ' move. At the same time the windowpane becomes 12 in the guide rails 131 ; 132 guided.

The Application of the invention is limited not to the above-described examples of the operation of the seat-length adjustment and the window lift drive. It is furthermore possible to use the invention for spindle or worm drives for adjusting the seat height, the seat tilt, the seat cushion depth adjustment, the seat back adjustment and the adjustment of the headrest to use.
