Definitions

• the present invention relates to a deflection roller device according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Deflection roller devices for fastening a deflection roller for a rope for driving a motor vehicle window, in particular a side window of a motor vehicle arranged between the A and B pillars are known.
• the deflection rollers are usually attached to a window lifter rail according to the prior art.
• This window lift rail serves on the one hand to guide the pane, for example primarily in the vertical direction.
• the window is also supported over a large area by the window lift rail, which assumes its protective function for the window.
• the pulleys are designed to guide a rope that causes the pulley to be raised or lowered.
• the window regulator rails are made of, for example, 3 mm thick sheet metal. The thickness of the metal sheet was explained by the fact that a certain minimum thickness was required to ensure the guiding and protective function of the self-supporting window lift rail.
• the attachment of the deflection roller to the window lift rail is carried out according to the prior art as a rivet which serves as an axis and also as an axial attachment of the deflection roller.
• the object of the present invention is to create a deflection roller device which reduces the use of material and thus the complexity of the deflection roller device and, on the other hand, enables the deflection roller to be held securely and permanently.
• the window lift rail has a shape for mounting the deflection roller
• the deflection roller can now be mounted directly on this shape. It is no longer necessary for separate axle components, e.g. Rivets etc. are provided for the storage of the deflection roller. This is because, surprisingly, it has been shown that the window lift rails, which were relatively thick in earlier years, can also be produced from thinner or firmer metal sheets, so that an integration of a formation for mounting the deflection roller can be implemented in a simple manner.
• the shape is a push-through of the window lift rail.
• the window lifter rail is preferably made from a 0.9 to 1.5 mm thick metal sheet, preferably from steel or aluminum. It is therefore relatively easy to carry out the molding in a deep-drawing process, etc. in a single-pass or multi-pass process. This can be done together with the other forming processes on the window regulator rail. Alternatively, it is of course also possible to use the window lifter rail. to produce the formation in an injection molding process.
• the shape has an opening on the end face facing away from the rest of the window lift rail. This can be done when the formation is produced in a deep-drawing process done by drilling an opening after deep drawing. In this way, it is also easily possible for the shape on the end face, that is to say in the region of the opening, to have an expansion for reaching behind and axially fixing the deflection roller. This can be done, for example, by flanging, which thus axially fixes one side of the deflecting roller. On the other side of the deflection roller, it is possible to provide a circumferential web, preferably in the outer radius area of the deflection roller, which axially supports the deflection roller on the other side (see, for example, FIG. 2), so that overall a defined mounting of the deflection roller is provided ,
• a further advantageous embodiment provides that the window lift rail is fastened to a module carrier, which is made, for example, of plastic and is fastened to a door panel of a vehicle door or a door frame of a vehicle door. It is particularly advantageous here that a pin, which centers or fixes the window lifter rail with respect to the module carrier, engages positively in the recess. The exact position of the deflection roller with respect to the module carrier is thus achieved by the pin provided in the module carrier. The pin is therefore “theoretical zero point", also for the roll, which results in one link less in the tolerance chain.
• FIG. 1 shows the schematic structure of a vehicle door in cross section
• FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of a deflection roller device according to the invention
• FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of a deflection roller device according to the invention
• FIGS. 4a and 4b a schematic representation of the force relationships on different embodiments of a deflection roller device.
• FIG. 1 shows the cross section of a vehicle door 7.
• This has an outer panel 11 to which an inner panel 6 is attached.
• a door module 8 is fastened to this inner panel.
• This door module is preferably made of plastic and is used, for example, to fasten elements such as loudspeakers, locking elements, etc.
• a window lifter rail 4 is also attached to the door module 8.
• This window lift rail 4 serves primarily to guide a pane 3.
• the pane 3 can be driven manually or electrically.
• the drive of the disk 3 is transmitted, for example, via a cable drive, not shown here.
• a rope for driving the disk 3 is guided around a deflection roller 2, which is rotatably mounted on the window lift rail 4.
• FIG. 2 shows a section of a window lifter rail 4.
• This window lifter rail 4 is formed from a steel sheet, which can have a thickness between 0.9 and 1.5 mm. However, it is also possible to provide such aluminum window regulator rails.
• the window lifter rail 4 has a formation 5 produced in a deep-drawing process.
• This shape 5 has an essentially circular cylindrical cross section in its central region.
• a deflection roller 2 is rotatably mounted on this circular cylindrical section.
• This pulley is made in one piece from POM (polyoxymethylane).
• the formation 5 has an opening 5b on its end face 5a facing away from the rest of the window lift rail.
• a flanging 5c is also provided, which axially fixes the deflection roller 2.
• the deflection roller In the axial direction on the other side of the deflection roller, in the area of its outer circumference, the deflection roller has a circumferential projection 12 which axially tangents the window lift rail 4.
• deflection roller device 1 for fastening a deflection roller 2 for a rope 10 (not shown here) (see FIGS. 4a and 4b).
• the deflection roller 2 is attached to the window lift rail 4 for guiding the pane 3 (see FIG. 1).
• the window lifter rail 4 has the shape 5 for mounting the deflection roller 2.
• FIG. 3 A further embodiment of the deflection device according to the invention is shown below with reference to FIG. 3. The only difference is an additional pin arrangement for fixing the shape. Unless otherwise stated, all of the explanations given above for FIGS. 1 and 2 also apply to this embodiment.
• FIG. 3 shows a module carrier 8 'with a pin 9' protruding in the direction of the window regulator rail 4 '.
• the general arrangement of the module carrier 8 ' is shown in FIG. 1.
• the window lifter rail 'with recess 5 and deflection roller 2 corresponds completely to the arrangement from FIG. 2, with the exception that the fixing / centering of the window lifter rail 4' takes place in a different way than that of the window lifter rail 4 (for this, see the summary of FIGS. 4a and 4b). Otherwise, the recess 5, the opening 5b, the widening 5c etc. are the same as in FIG. 2.
• a pin 9 'of the module carrier 8 1 is additionally provided, which engages complementarily in the formation 5. In this way, on the one hand a fastening of the window lifter rail 4 'and also a fixing reached the deflection roller 2 with respect to the module carrier.
• This determination of the location of the deflection roller 2 with respect to the module carrier 8 ' has the advantage that the tolerance chain can be kept short.
• Figures 4a and 4b show a schematic representation of the force relationships of the deflection devices 1 and 1 'according to the invention.
• the deflection device 1 is shown in FIG. 4a.
• the window lifter rail 4 fixes the deflection roller 2, around which a rope 10 is looped.
• the window lifter rail 4 is fastened via a pin 9 to a module carrier, not shown here.
• the cable forces F1 and F2 act on the deflection roller 2 and are introduced into the window lift rail in the region of the axis of the deflection roller (that is to say a formation of the window lift rail 4).
• the resulting F R (1,2) thus engages the pin 9 with a lever 1. This results in the application of a bending moment on the window lift rail 4, so that it can easily warp.
• Figure 4b shows a schematic representation of the
• the shape on which the deflection roller 2 is mounted to a pin which, e.g. Is part of the door inner panel or door frame (for example, for doors that do not have a module carrier).
• the present invention has great advantages in series production. This is first of all given by the relatively simple method of manufacture, which requires only a few components. So it is simply possible that during the manufacture of the window regulator rail the formation (eg "in one step" with the rest of the window regulator rail) is produced in a deep-drawing process and after the deflection roller has been fitted onto the formation, the formation has to be widened to reach behind and axially fix it the pulleys are done. It is therefore not absolutely necessary to carry out an additional component for axially fixing the deflection roller. Of course, it is also possible to use axial fixation instead of e.g. by flanging, for example, by attaching a fastening element for axially fixing the deflection roller.
• Another serious advantage of the invention is that the e.g. manufactured by deep drawing
• the holder for a pin of a module carrier Forming at the same time the holder for a pin of a module carrier.
• This pin can be produced integrally with the module carrier, for example as a projecting pin in an injection molding process. This also makes it possible to set the axis of the deflection roller in tolerance with respect to the door module, because the omission of a separate axis, which could produce additional tolerance fluctuations, shortens the tolerance chain and thus improves the quality with regard to tolerance fluctuations simply by the design alone.
• the deflection roller device according to the present invention is characterized by a weight saving which is primarily achieved by the fact that no additional parts are required for storage or fixing.
