Die bekannte Vorrichtung leitet beim Ziehen am Türgriff die Identifikation und den Entriegelungsvorgang ein, während durch Druck auf den Türgriff die Identifikation und der Verriegelungsvorgang einleitbar ist. Diese Vorrichtung arbeitet nicht ausreichend betriebssicher. Der Türgriff kann, insbesondere bei einem Unfall, unbeabsichtigt eingedrückt werden, was zu einem unbeabsichtigten Verriegeln der Fahrzeugtür führen kann, wenn der Berechtigungsausweis sich in Reichweite der Abfrageeinrichtung des Steuergerätes befindet.In the device that forms the starting point of the present invention (EP 0 218 251 A1), the door handle can be swung out and swung in become. The known device guides the identification when pulling the door handle and the unlocking process while pressing the door handle the identification and the locking process can be initiated. This device does not work sufficiently reliably. The door handle can, especially with one Accident, being accidentally indented, resulting in an unintentional Locking the vehicle door can result if the credential is in Range of the interrogation device of the control unit is located.

Aus der EP 0 831 194 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Öffnen eines Schlosses einer Fahrzeugtür bekannt. Ein Türgriff ist hier in einer Griffmulde der Tür angeordnet. Der Türgriff ist um eine feste Achse zwischen einer Ruhestellung und einer mit einer geöffneten Stellung des Schlosses korrespondierenden Stellung schwenkbar. Bei Betätigung des Türgriffes wird gleichzeitig eine Hilfsklappe gezogen, die ihrerseits einen Schalter zum Entriegeln des Schlosses betätigt. Zur Verriegelung des Schlosses ist ein manuell betätigbarer Knopf in der Griffmulde vorgesehen.EP 0 831 194 A1 describes a device for opening a lock Vehicle door known. A door handle is arranged in a recessed grip in the door. The door handle is about a fixed axis between a rest position and a position corresponding to an open position of the lock pivotable. When the door handle is operated, an auxiliary flap is opened at the same time pulled, which in turn actuates a switch to unlock the lock. to Locking the lock is a manually operated button in the recessed grip intended.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art so zu verbessern, daß sie nur bei vorgegebenen, bei einem Unfall nur schwierig auslösbaren Betätigungsmaßnahmen aktiviert und deaktiviert werden kann und daher betriebssicherer arbeitet.It is an object of the invention, a device of the type mentioned above to improve that they are only given in the case of an accident, only with difficulty triggerable actuation measures can be activated and deactivated and therefore works more reliably.

Die zuvor genannte Aufgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Anspruch 1 durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Anspruch 1 gelöst.The above object is achieved in a device with the features of Preamble of claim 1 by the features of the characterizing part solved by claim 1.

Bei dieser Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung ist der Türgriff zunächst geschützt in der Griffmulde angeordnet. Ferner ist nur ein vertikales Verschwenken des Türgriffes Voraussetzung für eine Betätigung, was hinsichtlich unbeabsichtigter Betätigung wesentlich schwieriger nachvollziehbar ist als ein horizontales Bewegen des Türgriffes, was z. B. schon durch Anstoßen am Türgriff beim Streifen eines Gegenstandes ausgelöst werden kann.In this embodiment of the device, the door handle is initially protected in the recessed grip arranged. Furthermore, only one is vertical Swiveling the door handle is a prerequisite for actuation as to what unintentional operation is much more difficult to understand than a horizontal movement of the door handle, which z. B. by toasting Door handle can be triggered when striking an object.

Dabei kann zur Erhöhung der Betriebssicherheit die Auslegung so ausgeführt sein, daß beim Verschwenken des Türgriffes nach oben der betätigte Schalter die Identifikation und den Entriegelungs- oder den Türöffnungsvorgang und beim Verschwenken des Türgriffes nach unten der betätigte Schalter die Identifikation und den Verriegelungsvorgang einleitet.The design can be carried out in this way to increase operational safety be that when the door handle is pivoted upwards the operated switch Identification and unlocking or door opening and when Swiveling the door handle downwards the operated switch the identification and initiates the locking process.

Die Ausbildung der Griffmulde ist vorzugsweise so, daß sie oval ausgebildet und mit ihrer Längsachse horizontal ausgerichtet ist.The design of the recessed grip is preferably such that it is oval and is aligned horizontally with its longitudinal axis.

Die automatische Rückstellung des Türgriffes in seine Ausgangsstellung wird in einfacher Weise dadurch erreicht, daß der Türgriff einen Ansatz aufweist, der über die Schwenkachse hinaus verlängert ist und sich weiter in die Tür hinein erstreckt und daß an diesem Ansatz zwei entgegengesetzt wirkende Federelemente angebracht sind. Die Federelemente sind dabei vertikal in der Tür untergebracht und der Ansatz am Türgriff ist symmetrisch zu der horizontalen Mittelebene des in der Ausgangsmittelstellung befindlichen Türgriffes ausgerichtet.The automatic return of the door handle to its initial position is in easily achieved in that the door handle has an approach that is extended beyond the pivot axis and extends further into the door and that on this approach two oppositely acting spring elements are attached. The spring elements are housed vertically in the door and the approach on the door handle is symmetrical to the horizontal center plane of the door handle located in the starting center position.

Die Schaltansätze sind dabei an einem gegenüber der Schwenkachse weiter in die Tür hinein verlagerten Teil des Türgriffes angeformt.The shift approaches are further in on the pivot axis molded part of the door handle moved into the door.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausgestaltung, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß der Türgriff in beiden Verstellrichtungen mittels einer Stellkraft aus der verrasteten Ruhestellung bewegbar ist.An embodiment which is characterized in that the door handle in both adjustment directions by means of an actuating force from the locked Rest position is movable.

Die Schwenkachse des Türgriffes liegt vorzugsweise hinter der Griffmulde, d.h. in der Tür. Die Griffmulde selbst ist zur horizontalen Mittelebene des in Ausgangsmittelstellung befindlichen Türgriffes symmetrisch ausgebildet, so daß über und unter dem Türgriff ausreichend Eingriffsmöglichkeit zum Verschwenken des Türgriffes besteht. The pivot axis of the door handle is preferably behind the recessed grip, i.e. in the door. The recessed grip itself is to the horizontal central plane of the in the starting central position located door handle symmetrical so that Above and below the door handle there is enough space for swiveling of the door handle.

Ist nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, daß der Türgriff bügelförmig ausgebildet und mit seinen beiden Schenkeln in die Tür hineingeführt ist und daß die Schalter, die Federelemente, der Ansatz und die Schaltansätze einem dieser Schenkel zugeordnet sind, dann kann der Türgriff beim Verschwenken besser gefaßt werden und das äußere Türblech braucht nur zwei kleine Durchbrüche zum Einführen der Schenkel des bügelförmigen Türgriffes aufzuweisen.According to a further embodiment, the door handle is bow-shaped trained and inserted with his two legs into the door and that the switches, the spring elements, the approach and the switching approaches one of these Legs are assigned, then the door handle can pivot better be grasped and the outer door panel only needs two small openings to have the legs of the bow-shaped door handle.

Die Erfindung wird anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigen

The invention is explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it
Fig. 1
a partial vertical section through a vehicle door in the region of the door handle and
Fig. 2
a view of the outside of the vehicle door with the built-in door handle.

Wie der Schnitt nach Fig. 1 zeigt, ist in einem äußeren Türblech 11 der Fahrzeugtür 10 eine Griffmulde 20 eingeformt, die oval ausgebildet und mit ihrer Längsachse horizontal ausgerichtet ist, wie die Ansicht nach Fig. 2 zeigt. Andere Formen und Ausrichtungen der Griffmulde 20 sind ebenfalls möglich.As the section according to FIG. 1 shows, the vehicle door is in an outer door panel 11 10 a recessed grip 20 is formed, which is oval in shape and with its Longitudinal axis is aligned horizontally, as the view of FIG. 2 shows. Other Shapes and orientations of the recessed grip 20 are also possible.

In der Griffmulde 20 ist ein Türgriff 13 horizontal ausgerichtet schwenkbar gelagert, wie die Schwenkachse 12 erkennen läßt. Dabei liegt die Schwenkachse 12 hinter der Griffmulde 20 in der Fahrzeugtür 10. Der Türgriff 13 schließt mit den Rändern des äußeren Türbleches 11 bündig ab, die die Griffmulde 20 umschließen, so daß die Gefahr einer unbeabsichtigten Verschwenkung nach unten oder nach oben stark reduziert ist, insbesondere dann, wenn das Fahrzeug an einem feststehenden Gegenstand entlangschleift. Der Türgriff 13 kann auch versenkt in der Griffmulde 20 angeordnet sein, um die Sicherheit gegen unbeabsichtigtes Verschwenken des Türgriffes 13 noch zu erhöhen.In the recessed grip 20, a door handle 13 is pivotally mounted horizontally, as the pivot axis 12 reveals. The pivot axis 12 is located here behind the recessed grip 20 in the vehicle door 10. The door handle 13 closes with the Edges of the outer door panel 11 flush, which enclose the recessed grip 20, so that the risk of unintentional swiveling down or is greatly reduced, especially when the vehicle is on a grinds a fixed object. The door handle 13 can also be sunk in the recessed grip 20 can be arranged to provide security against unintentional Pivoting the door handle 13 to increase.

Der Türgriff 13 ist über die Schwenkachse 12 hinaus weiter in die Fahrzeugtür 10 hinein verlängert und weist einen Ansatz 16 auf, an dem zwei vertikal ausgerichtete Federelemente 17 und 18 angebracht sind. Wird der Türgriff 13 aus der gezeigten Ausgangsmittelstellung in die untere Schaltstellung Su verschwenkt, dann betätigt der Schaltansatz 19 am Türgriff 13 den elektrischen Schalter 14. Dieser Schalter 14 leitet die Identifikation und den Verriegelungsvorgang im "Passive-Entry-System" mit dem Elektroschloß ein. Wird der Türgriff 13 dagegen nach oben gedrückt, dann betätigt der Schaltansatz 21 am Türgriff 13 den Schalter 15. Dieser Schalter 15 leitet die Identifikation und den Entriegelungs- und Öffnungsvorgang im "Passive-Entry-System" mit dem Elektroschloß ein. Beim Loslassen des Türgriffes 13 sorgt das Federelement 18 bzw. 17 für die automatische Rückstellung des Türgriffes 13 in seine Ausgangsmittelstellung, in der der Türgriff 13 verrastet sein kann und nur mittels einer Stellkraft aus dieser verstellt werden kann.The door handle 13 is beyond the pivot axis 12 further into the vehicle door 10 extends into and has an extension 16 on which two vertically aligned Spring elements 17 and 18 are attached. If the door handle 13 from the pivoted starting center position shown in the lower switching position Su, then the switching lug 19 on the door handle 13 actuates the electrical switch 14. This switch 14 directs the identification and the locking process in the "Passive Entry System" with the electric lock. The door handle 13 against it pressed upwards, then the switching approach 21 on the door handle 13 actuates the Switch 15. This switch 15 directs the identification and the unlocking and opening process in the "passive entry system" with the electric lock. When the door handle 13 is released, the spring element 18 or 17 ensures the automatic Resetting the door handle 13 into its starting central position, in which the door handle 13 can be locked and only by means of an actuating force from this can be adjusted.

Wie in Fig. 2 gestrichelt angedeutet ist, kann der Türgriff 13 mit zwei Schenkeln 13' auch U-förmig oder bügelförmig ausgebildet werden. Dann werden nur die Schenkel 13' durch das äußere Türblech 11 hindurch in die Fahrzeugtür 10 hineingeführt. Die Schalter 14 und 15 und die Federelemente 17 und 18 sind einem Schenkel 13' zugeordnet, der dann die Funktion des Ansatzes 16 und der Schaltansätze 19 und 21 übernimmt. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung läßt sich der Türgriff 13 beim Verschwenken und insbesondere beim Aufziehen der Tür besser fassen.As indicated in dashed lines in FIG. 2, the door handle 13 can have two legs 13 'can also be U-shaped or bow-shaped. Then only those Legs 13 'through the outer door panel 11 into the vehicle door 10. The switches 14 and 15 and the spring elements 17 and 18 are one Leg 13 'assigned, which then the function of the approach 16 and the switching approaches 19 and 21 takes over. In this embodiment, the door handle 13 grasp better when swiveling and especially when opening the door.
