Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur mechanisch gekoppelten Verstellung von Lukendeckel und Fahrersitz an einem gepanzerten Fahrzeug mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for the mechanically coupled adjustment of hatch cover and driver's seat on an armored vehicle having the features of the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine solche Einrichtung ist bekannt aus DE 3741101 .Such a device is known from DE 3741101 ,

Gepanzerte Fahrzeuge mit einer Luke, die mittels eines Lukendeckels verschließbar ist und bei denen im Fahrzeuginnenraum im Bereich unterhalb der Luke ein Fahrersitz angeordnet ist, der aus einer Grundstellung in eine angehobene Stellung bewegbar ist, d.h. gepanzerte Fahrzeuge, die keine Windschutzscheibe besitzen aber auch längere Zeit mit hohen Fahrgeschwindigkeiten betrieben werden, können in der Regel entweder so gefahren werden, dass der Militärkraftfahrer unter der geschlossenen Luke sitzt und die Umgebung über Winkelspiegel sehen kann, oder so, dass der Militärkraftfahrer aus der teilgeöffneten Luke bei angehobenem Fahrersitz herrausragt und direkte Sicht auf die Fahrbahn und die Umgebung hat. Die teilgeöffnete Luke bildet hierbei weiterhin einen Schutz von oben, u.a. auch gegen Witterungseinflüsse. Um diese Stellung zu erreichen, ist sowohl das Öffnen und Schließen des Lukendeckels als auch eine Höhenverstellung des Fahrersitzes und der Fahrbedienelemente notwendig. Zusätzlich ist ein vollständiges Öffnen des Lukendeckels zwecks Notbergung des Fahrers und ggf. zum Ein- und Aussteigen notwendig.Armored vehicles with a hatch, which is closable by means of a hatch cover and in which a driver's seat is arranged in the vehicle interior in the area below the hatch, which is movable from a basic position to a raised position, ie armored vehicles that have no windshield but also longer time operated at high speeds, can be driven either usually so that the military driver sits under the closed hatch and can see the surroundings via angular mirrors, or in such a way that the military driver protrudes from the partially opened hatch with the driver's seat raised and has a direct view of the roadway and the surroundings. The partially opened hatch continues to provide protection from above, including against the effects of the weather. To achieve this position, both the opening and closing of the hatch cover and a height adjustment of the driver's seat and the driving controls is necessary. In addition, a complete opening of the hatch cover for emergency rescue of the driver and possibly for getting in and out is necessary.

Bei bekannten Fahrzeugen sind das Öffnen und Schließen des Lukendeckels sowie die Höhenverstellung des Fahrersitzes entweder vollständig unabhängig voneinander, oder es ist eine umschaltbare Antriebsmechanik vorhanden. Diese Antriebsmechanik kann wahlweise auf die Verstellung des Lukendeckels, die Verstellung des Fahrersitzes oder auf beide Verstellungen gleichzeitig geschaltet werden. Hierdurch ist ein gleichzeitiges Teilöffnen bzw. Teilschließen der Luke und ein Höherstellen bzw. Tieferstellen des Fahrersitzes möglich. Zum kompletten Öffnen des Lukendeckels muss die Antriebsmechanik so geschaltet werden, dass nur die Verstellung des Lukendeckels wirksam wird. Diese Art der Betätigung ist relativ umständlich und erfordert mehrere Arbeitsvorgänge.In known vehicles, the opening and closing of the hatch cover and the height adjustment of the driver's seat are either completely independent of each other, or there is a switchable drive mechanism available. This drive mechanism can be switched to either the adjustment of the hatch cover, the adjustment of the driver's seat or both adjustments simultaneously. As a result, a simultaneous partial opening or partial closing of the hatch and a raising or lowering of the driver's seat is possible. For complete opening of the hatch cover, the drive mechanism must be switched so that only the adjustment of the hatch cover is effective. This type of operation is relatively cumbersome and requires several operations.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gepanzertes Fahrzeug mit den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen so auszubilden, dass die Verstellung des Fahrersitzes fest mit der Lukenverstellung gekoppelt ist, so dass keine Umschaltungen notwendig sind.The invention has the object of providing an armored vehicle with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that the adjustment of the driver's seat is firmly coupled to the hatch adjustment, so that no switching is necessary.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen aus dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.The solution of this object is achieved according to the invention with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, den Lukendeckel mit der Halterung für das Grundgestell des Fahrersitzes derart über eine eine Kurvenführung enthaltende Gelenkkette zu verbinden, dass der Fahrersitz beim Teilöffnen des Lukendeckels von einer Grundstellung (Fahren unter Luke) in eine angehobene Stellung (Fahren über Luke) angehoben wird, beim weiteren Öffnen des Lukendeckels jedoch in der angehobenen Stellung (Fahren über Luke) verbleibt.A basic idea of the invention is to connect the hatch cover with the holder for the base frame of the driver's seat such a linkage containing a curve guide that the driver's seat at partial opening of the hatch cover from a basic position (driving under hatch) in a raised position (driving through hatch ) is raised, but remains in the raised position (driving over hatch) when further opening the hatch cover.

Um dies zu erreichen wird ein Gelenk der Gelenkkette, das über eine Koppelstange mit der Sitz-Halterung für das Grundgestell des Fahrersitzes verbunden ist, in einer Kurvenführung geführt, deren unterer Abschnitt parallel zur Linearführung des Grundgestells, also im wesentlichen vertikal verläuft, so dass bei der Bewegung in diesem ersten Abschnitt der Fahrersitz nach oben angehoben bzw. nach unten abgesenkt wird. Oberhalb des ersten Abschnitts der Kurvenführung wird dieses Gelenk der Gelenkkette in einem zum Fahrersitz hin kreisbogenförmig gekrümmten Abschnitt geführt, so dass es auf einer Kreisbahn läuft. Der Radius dieser Kreisbahn entspricht der Länge der Koppelstange zwischen dem in der Kurvenführung geführten Gelenk und der Sitz-Halterung des Grundgestells des Fahrersitzes, was zur Folge hat, dass der Fahrersitz beim weiteren Öffnen des Lukendeckels keine Positionsänderung mehr erfährt.To achieve this, a joint of the joint chain, which is connected via a coupling rod with the seat support for the base frame of the driver's seat, guided in a cam guide whose lower portion parallel to the linear guide of the base frame, that is substantially vertical, so that at the movement in this first section of the driver's seat is lifted up or lowered down. Above the first section of the cam guide, this joint of the articulated chain is guided in a section curved in a circular arc to the driver's seat, so that it runs on a circular path. The radius of this circular path corresponds to the length of the coupling rod between the guided in the curve guide joint and the seat support of the base frame of the driver's seat, which has the consequence that the driver's seat on further opening of the hatch cover no change in position learns more.

In Abhängigkeit von der Art der Luke (Hub-, Klapp- oder Schiebeluke), dem Anlenkpunkt und den ergonomischen Anforderungen (notwendige Sitzpositionen, Sicht etc.) sind unterschiedliche Hubhöhen für den Fahrersitz erforderlich. Darstellbar ist dies mittels der oben erwähnten Kombination einer Gelenkkette und einer Kurvenführung. Dabei kann die Kurvenführung entweder feststehen oder bewegt sein, z.B. in Form einer Kurvenscheibe. Die Gelenkkette kann so ausgelegt werden, dass die Bewegungen von Luke und Fahrersitz so kombiniert werden, dass die erforderlichen Hubhöhen erreicht werden können.Depending on the type of hatch (lifting, folding or sliding hatch), the articulation point and the ergonomic requirements (necessary seating positions, visibility, etc.) different lifting heights are required for the driver's seat. This can be represented by means of the above-mentioned combination of a link chain and a curve guide. The cam guide can either be stationary or moved, for example in the form of a cam. The articulated chain can be designed to combine the movements of the hatch and driver's seat to achieve the required lift heights.

Diese Art der Koppelung zwischen der Bewegung des Lukendeckels und der Hubbewegung des Fahrersitzes eröffnet auch die Möglichkeit zur perzentilabhängigen Lenkradverstellung. Hierzu ist das Lenkrad an einer Lenkrad-Halterung angeordnet, die in einer mit dem Fahrzeugchassis fest verbundenen weiteren Linearführung verschiebbar geführt ist, und die Bewegung dieser Lenkrad-Halterung wird mit der Anhebebewegung des Fahrersitzes über eine mechanische Koppelvorrichtung, die beispielsweise ein Übertragungsgestänge oder einen Bonwdenzug enthalten kann, gekoppelt.This type of coupling between the movement of the hatch cover and the lifting movement of the driver's seat also opens the possibility for perzentilabhängigen steering wheel adjustment. For this purpose, the steering wheel is arranged on a steering wheel holder, which is displaceably guided in a firmly connected to the vehicle chassis further linear guide, and the movement of this steering wheel holder is the lifting movement of the driver's seat via a mechanical coupling device, for example, a transmission linkage or a Bonwdenzug may contain, coupled.

Im folgenden wird anhand der beigefügten Zeichnungen ein prinzipielles Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Einrichtung zum gleichzeitigen Öffnen der Luke und Anheben des Fahrersitzes bei einem gepanzerten Fahrzeug näher erläutert.In the following, a basic embodiment of a device for simultaneously opening the hatch and raising the driver's seat in an armored vehicle will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In den Figuren 1 bis 7 ist ein Teil des Innenraums eines im übrigen nicht dargestellten gepanzerten Fahrzeugs gezeigt. Der Innenraum ist an seiner Oberseite durch eine Dachplatte 1 abgeschlossen, in der eine Luke 2 angeordnet ist, die mittels eines schwenkbaren Lukendeckels 2.1 verschließbar ist.In the figures 1 to 7, a part of the interior of an otherwise not shown armored vehicle is shown. The interior is closed at its top by a roof plate 1, in which a hatch 2 is arranged, which is closed by means of a hinged hatch cover 2.1.

Im Fahrzeuginnenraum im Bereich unterhalb der Luke 2 ist ein Fahrersitz 3 angeordnet, der grundsätzlich aus einer in Fig. 1 dargestellten Grundstellung, in welcher der Fahrer unterhalb der Luke 2 sitzt, in eine in den Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellte angehobene Stellung bewegbar ist, in welcher der Fahrer teilweise aus der Luke 2 herrausragt. Hierzu ist das Grundgestell 3.1 des Fahrersitzes 3 an einer Halterung 4 befestigt, die in einer vertikal angeordneten Linearführung 4.1 bewegbar ist.In the vehicle interior in the area below the hatch 2, a driver's seat 3 is arranged, which is basically movable from a basic position shown in FIG. 1, in which the driver sits below the hatch 2, in a raised position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in which the driver partially protrudes from the hatch 2. For this purpose, the base frame 3.1 of the driver's seat 3 is fixed to a holder 4, which is movable in a vertically arranged linear guide 4.1.

Der im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbare Lukendeckel 2.1 ist mit der Sitz-Halterung 4 für das Grundgestell 3.1 des Fahrersitzes 3 über eine eine Kurvenführung enthaltende Gelenkkette verbunden, die im folgenden näher beschrieben wird.The in the illustrated embodiment about a horizontal axis pivotable hatch cover 2.1 is connected to the seat support 4 for the base frame 3.1 of the driver's seat 3 via a curve guide-containing link chain, which will be described in more detail below.

Die Sitz-Halterung 4 ist über ein erstes Gelenk 10.1 mit einer ersten Koppelstange 10 verbunden, welche ihrerseits über ein zweites Gelenk 6.1 mit dem dem Fahrersitz 3 zugewandten Ende eines hinter dem Fahrersitz angeordneten Verbindungsbalkens 6 als weiterem Element der Gelenkkette verbunden ist.The seat support 4 is connected via a first joint 10.1 with a first coupling rod 10, which in turn is connected via a second joint 6.1 with the driver's seat 3 facing the end of a arranged behind the driver's seat connecting bar 6 as a further element of the articulated chain.

Das vom Fahrersitz 3 abgewandte Ende des Verbindungsbalkens 6 ist über ein drittes Gelenk 8.1 mit einer zweiten Koppelstange 8 verbunden, die über eine weitere Gelenkverbindung 8.2 am Fahrzeugchassis 9 angelenkt ist. Ein vorgegebener Punkt des Verbindungsbalkens 6 ist über ein viertes Gelenk 5.2 mit einem Ende einer dritten Koppelstange 5 verbunden, deren anderes Ende über ein weiteres Gelenk 5.1 am Lukendeckel 2.1 angelenkt ist.The remote from the driver's seat 3 end of the connecting bar 6 is connected via a third joint 8.1 with a second coupling rod 8, which is articulated via a further articulation 8.2 on the vehicle chassis 9. A predetermined point of the connecting bar 6 is connected via a fourth joint 5.2 with one end of a third coupling rod 5, whose other end is articulated via another joint 5.1 on the hatch cover 2.1.

Das über die Koppelstange 10 und das erste Gelenk 10.1 mit der Sitz-Halterung 4 verbundene zweite Gelenk 6.1 der Gelenkkette ist in einer Kurvenführung geführt, die zwei in Richtung der Linearführung 4.1 übereinander angeordnete Abschnitte aufweist, nämlich einen unteren parallel zur Linearführung 4.1 der Sitz-Halterung 4 verlaufenden Abschnitt 7.1, an den sich ein oberer kreisbogenförmig gekrümmter, zum Fahrersitz 3 hin verlaufender Abschnitt 7.2 anschließt. Dabei entspricht die Länge der ersten Koppelstange 10 dem Radius des oberen Abschnitts 7.2 der Kurvenführung, also dem Kreisbogen.The second joint 6.1 of the articulated chain connected via the coupling rod 10 and the first joint 10.1 with the seat holder 4 is guided in a curved guide which has two sections arranged one above the other in the direction of the linear guide 4.1, namely a lower parallel to the linear guide 4.1 of the seat. Holder 4 extending section 7.1, to which an upper arcuate curved, to the driver's seat 3 extending section 7.2 connects. The length of the first coupling rod 10 corresponds to the radius of the upper portion 7.2 of the cam guide, so the arc.

Zusätzlich ist zur Perzentileinstellung des Fahrersitzes 3 das Grundgestell 3.1 über eine Verstelleinrichtung 11 in der Höhe verstellbar mit der Halterung 4 verbunden.In addition to the percentile adjustment of the driver's seat 3, the base frame 3.1 via an adjusting device 11 in height adjustably connected to the bracket 4.

Das Öffnen der Luke und die Höhenverstellung des Fahrersitzes erfolgen über eine beispielsweise am Lukendeckel angreifende, in Fig. 1 bis 3 nicht dargestellte Antriebsvorrichtung.The opening of the hatch and the height adjustment of the driver's seat via a, for example, on the hatch cover attacking, not shown in Fig. 1 to 3 drive device.

Gemäß der Darstellung in den Fig. 1 bis 3 verläuft der Öffnungsvorgang beim Anheben des Lukendeckels folgendermaßen:As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the opening process when lifting the hatch cover proceeds as follows:

In der in Fig. 1 dargestellten abgesenkten Grundstellung des Fahrersitzes 3 befindet sich das zweite Gelenk 6.1 zwischen der ersten Koppelstange 10 und dem Verbindungsbalken 6 am unteren Ende des ersten Abschnitts 7.1 der Kurvenführung. Wird der Lukendeckel 2.1 teilweise geöffnet, so wird über die dritte Koppelstange 5 und den Verbindungsbalken 6 das in der Kurvenführung geführte zweite Gelenk 6.1 vertikal nach oben geführt und dadurch über die erste Koppelstange 10 die Halterung 4 und damit der Fahrersitz 3 angehoben, bis er in die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Stellung gelangt, in welcher der Lukendeckel 2.1 teilweise geöffnet ist, so dass ein auf dem Fahrersitz 3 sitzender Fahrer direkt aus der Luke heraus beobachten kann.In the lowered basic position of the driver's seat 3 shown in Fig. 1, the second joint 6.1 between the first coupling rod 10 and the connecting beam 6 at the lower end of the first section 7.1 of the cam guide. If the hatch cover 2.1 partially open, so is guided over the third coupling rod 5 and the connecting bar 6 guided in the curve guide second joint 6.1 vertically upwards and thereby raised over the first coupling rod 10, the holder 4 and thus the driver's seat 3 until it the position shown in Fig. 2, in which the hatch cover 2.1 is partially open, so that a seated on the driver's seat 3 driver can watch directly from the hatch out.

Beim weiteren Öffnen des Lukendeckels 2.1 gelangt das zweite Gelenk 6.1 der Gelenkkette in der Kurvenführung in den zweiten kreisbogenförmig gekrümmten Abschnitt 7.2. Da die Länge der ersten Koppelstange 10 dem Radius dieses Kreises entspricht, bleibt bei dieser Bewegung das der Halterung 4 zugewandte erste Gelenk 10.1 im Mittelpunkt der Kreisbahn und somit in Ruhe, und der Fahrersitz 3 wird beim weiteren Öffnen des Lukendeckels 2.1 in die in Fig. 3 dargestellte weit geöffnete Stellung nicht mehr weiter mit angehoben. Beim Schließen des Lukendeckels 2.1 laufen die Vorgänge in umgekehrter Reihenfolge ab. Bei der Bewegung aus der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Stellung in die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Stellung erfolgt keine Absenkung des Fahrersitzes 3, während bei der Bewegung aus der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Stellung in die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Grundstellung eine Absenkung des Fahrersitzes in die abgesenkte Stellung erfolgt.Upon further opening of the hatch cover 2.1, the second joint 6.1 of the articulated chain in the curved guide passes into the second circular arcuate curved section 7.2. Since the length of the first coupling rod 10 corresponds to the radius of this circle, in this movement, the holder 4 facing first joint 10.1 at the center of the circular path and thus at rest, and the driver's seat 3 is in the further opening of the hatch cover 2.1 in the in Fig. 3 shown wide open position no longer raised with. When closing the hatch cover 2.1, the processes take place in the reverse order. In the movement from the position shown in Fig. 3 in the position shown in Fig. 2, no lowering of the driver's seat 3, while in the movement from the position shown in Fig. 2 in the basic position shown in Fig. 1 is a lowering of the driver's seat takes place in the lowered position.

Die Perzentileinstellung des Fahrersitzes 3 ist von den Bewegungen des Fahrersitzes 3 über die Gelenkkette unabhängig.The percentile setting of the driver's seat 3 is independent of the movements of the driver's seat 3 via the articulated chain.

Im folgenden wird anhand der Fig. 4 bis 7 beschrieben, in welcher Weise das Lenkrad des Fahrzeugs und ggf. weitere im Bereich des Lenkrads angeordnete Bedienungselemente gemeinsam mit der Anhebebewegung des Fahrersitzes 3 in eine angehobene Stellung bewegt werden können.In the following it will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7, in which way the steering wheel of the vehicle and possibly further arranged in the region of the steering wheel controls can be moved together with the lifting movement of the driver's seat 3 in a raised position.

Hierzu sind das vor dem Fahrersitz angeordnete Lenkrad 12 sowie ggf. im Bereich des Lenkrads angeordnete weitere Bedienungselemente 12.1, 12.2 an einer Lenkrad-Halterung 13 angeordnet, die in einer mit dem Fahrzeugchassis 9 fest verbundenen vertikal oder unter einem spitzen Winkel zur Vertikale verlaufenden zweiten Linearführung 14 verschiebbar geführt ist. Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 5 ersichtlich, weist die Linearführung 14 zwei parallel zueinander verlaufende Führungsschlitze 14.1 und 14.2 auf, in denen jeweils die Lenkrad-Halterung 13 durchsetzende Führungsbolzen 13.1 und 13.2 geführt sind. Es ist aus den Figuren ersichtlich, dass somit die Lenkrad-Halterung 13 in der Linearführung 14 aufwärts und abwärts verschiebbar ist. Die untere Grundstellung ist in Fig. 5 dargestellt, während eine Zwischenstellung in Fig. 6 und die obere Endstellung in Fig. 7 gezeigt werden. Weiterhin ist die Lenkrad-Halterung um eine horizontale Achse, die der Achse des ersten Führungsbolzens 13.1 entspricht, um einen vorgegebenen Winkel verschwenkbar. Hierzu ist der die Lenkrad-Halterung 13 durchsetzende zweite Führungsbolzen 13.2 in einer in der Lenkrad-Halterung angeordneten gekrümmten Schlitzführung 13.3 geführt, so dass nach Lösen eines Sperrhebels 13.4 die Lenkrad-Halterung 13 verschwenkt werden kann.For this purpose, arranged in front of the driver's seat steering wheel 12 and possibly arranged in the region of the steering wheel further controls 12.1, 12.2 arranged on a steering wheel holder 13 in a fixed to the vehicle chassis 9 vertically or at an acute angle to the vertical second linear guide 14 is slidably guided. As can be seen in particular from Fig. 5, the linear guide 14 has two mutually parallel guide slots 14.1 and 14.2, in each of which the steering wheel holder 13 passing through guide pins 13.1 and 13.2 are guided. It can be seen from the figures that thus the steering wheel holder 13 in the linear guide 14 is displaceable upwards and downwards. The lower basic position is shown in Fig. 5, while an intermediate position in Fig. 6 and the upper end position in Fig. 7 are shown. Furthermore, the steering wheel holder about a horizontal axis corresponding to the axis of the first guide pin 13.1, pivotable about a predetermined angle. For this purpose, the steering wheel holder 13 passing through the second guide pin 13.2 is guided in a arranged in the steering wheel holder curved slot guide 13.3, so that after releasing a locking lever 13.4, the steering wheel holder 13 can be pivoted.

Um die Bewegung des Fahrersitzes mit der Bewegung der Lenkrad-Halterung 13 zu koppeln, ist eine mechanische Koppelungsvorrichtung vorgesehen, die im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel einen, in einer Ebene parallel zur Richtung der zweiten Linearführung 14 schwenkbaren, zweiarmigen Hebel 15 aufweist, dessen erster Hebelarm 15.1-15.2 mit der Lenkrad-Halterung über ein Verbindungsstück 15.4 gelenkig verbunden ist, während am zweiten Hebelarm 15.3 ein Übertragungselement 16 angreift, das im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Bowdenzug ausgebildet ist. Als Übertragungselement kann aber auch ein Übertragungsgestänge dienen. Das Übertragungselement 16 ist, wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, mit seinem anderen Ende an die Sitz-Halterung 4 und damit den Fahrersitz 3 angeschlossen. Dies hat zur Folge, dass bei der Anhebebewegung der Sitz-Halterung 4 und damit des Fahrersitzes 3 der Hebel 15 in der Weise verschwenkt wird, dass die Lenkrad-Halterung 13 in der Linearführung 14 nach oben verschoben wird.In order to couple the movement of the driver's seat with the movement of the steering wheel holder 13, a mechanical coupling device is provided, which in the illustrated embodiment has a two-armed lever 15 which is pivotable in a plane parallel to the direction of the second linear guide 14 and whose first lever arm 15.1- 15.2 is pivotally connected to the steering wheel holder via a connecting piece 15.4, while the second lever arm 15.3, a transmission element 16 engages, which is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a Bowden cable. As a transmission element but can also serve a transmission linkage. The transmission element 16 is, as shown in FIG. 4, connected with its other end to the seat bracket 4 and thus the driver's seat 3. This has the consequence that in the lifting movement of the seat bracket 4 and thus the driver's seat 3 of the lever 15th is pivoted in such a way that the steering wheel holder 13 is moved in the linear guide 14 upwards.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist zusätzlich eine Möglichkeit geschaffen, bei der Anhebung des Lenkrads 12 mit der Bewegung des Fahrersitzes 3 die Perzentileinstellung zu berücksichtigen. Hierzu ist die Länge des ersten Hebelarms 15.1-15.2 mittels einer Einstellvorrichtung veränderbar. Der erste Hebelarm besteht aus zwei teleskopartig ineinander verschiebbaren Teilen 15.1 und 15.2. Der Teil 15.1 ist fest mit dem zweiten Hebelarm 15.3 verbunden, während der Teil 15.2 am Teil 15.1 in Längsrichtung verschiebbar und über ein weiteres Übertragungselement 17, das als Bowdenzug ausgebildet sein kann, mit dem verstellbar an der Sitz-Halterung 4 befestigten Grundgestell 3.1 des Fahrersitzes 3 verbunden ist. Über diese Vorrichtung verändert sich bei einer Höhenverstellung des Fahrersitzes 3 an der Sitz-Halterung 4 zur Perzentileinstellung die Länge des aus den Teilen 15.1 und 15.2 bestehenden ersten Hebelarms des Hebels 15 und somit das Übertragungsverhältnis der Bewegung des Fahrersitzes 3 zur Bewegung des Lenkrades 12. Mit dem Übertragungselement 16 erfolgt somit eine perzentilunabhängige Einstellung des Lenkrades, und die von der Perzentileinstellung abhängige Einstellung erfolgt über das Übertragungselement 17.In the illustrated embodiment, a possibility is additionally created to consider the increase in the steering wheel 12 with the movement of the driver's seat 3, the percentile setting. For this purpose, the length of the first lever arm 15.1-15.2 can be changed by means of an adjusting device. The first lever arm consists of two telescopically movable parts 15.1 and 15.2. The part 15.1 is fixedly connected to the second lever arm 15.3, while the part 15.2 on the part 15.1 displaceable in the longitudinal direction and via another transmission element 17, which may be formed as a Bowden cable, with the base frame 3.1 of the driver's seat which is adjustably attached to the seat support 4 3 is connected. About this device, the length of the consisting of the parts 15.1 and 15.2 first lever arm of the lever 15 and thus the transmission ratio of the movement of the driver's seat 3 to the movement of the steering wheel 12 changes with a height adjustment of the driver's seat 3 on the seat bracket 4 for Perzentileinstellung the transmission element 16 thus takes place a perzentilunabhängige adjustment of the steering wheel, and dependent on the percentile setting via the transmission element 17th

In den Fig. 5 und 7 ist eine Einstellung mit maximaler Länge des ersten Hebelarms gemäß einer Perzentileinstellung M 95 dargestellt, während Fig. 6 eine Einstellung mit verkürztem ersten Hebelarm des Hebels 15 entsprechend einer Perzentileinstellung F 05 zeigt.In Figs. 5 and 7, a maximum length setting of the first lever arm according to a percentile setting M 95 is shown, while Fig. 6 shows a setting with a shortened first lever arm of the lever 15 corresponding to a percentile setting F 05.

Es ist prinzipiell auch möglich, in nicht dargestellter Weise den Hebel 15 mit einem Übertragungselement direkt an das Grundgestell des Fahrersitzes anzuschließen, so dass die Einstellung immer perzentilabhängig erfolgt. In diesem Fall kann dann auf die zusätzliche Einstellmöglichkeit durch Veränderung des ersten Hebelarms verzichtet werden.It is also possible in principle not to connect the lever 15 with a transmission element directly to the base frame of the driver's seat in a manner not shown, so that the setting is always perzentilabhängig. In this case can then be dispensed with the additional adjustment by changing the first lever arm.

In Fig. 4 ist auch die Antriebsvorrichtung zum Öffnen und Schließen des Lukendeckels dargestellt. Sie besitzt einen Antriebsmotor 19 der ein Spindelgetriebe 18 antreibt, dessen Spindel 18.1 mit einer am in Fig. 4 nicht dargestellten Lukendeckel angeordneten Befestigungslasche 2.11 verbunden ist.4, the drive device for opening and closing the hatch cover is shown. It has a drive motor 19 which drives a spindle gear 18 whose spindle 18.1 is connected to a mounting lug 2.11, which is arranged on the hatch cover (not shown in FIG. 4).
