Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektromagnetische reibschlüssige Schaltkupplung (l; 20) zur Anordnung innerhalb eines einen Antriebsmotor und eine Fahrzeugtür oder eine Fahrzeugklappe verbindenden Antriebsstranges. Um zu erreichen, dass die Fahrzeugtür in jeder Zwischenposition sicher gehalten wird, wenn sich die Schaltkupplung (l; 20) in ihrem ausgeschalteten Zustand befindet, und ausserdem die Möglichkeit einer manuellen Notbetätigung der Fahrzeugtür erhalten bleibt, schlägt die Erfindung vor, an dem Rotorteil (4) zusätzlich zu der elektrischen Spule (6) mindestens einen Permanentmagnet (15) anzuordnen, so dass bei nichtbestromter Spule (6) die Ankerscheibe (10) mit einer Kraft gegen den Reibbelag (2) des Rotorteiles (4) gedrückt wird, die gross genug ist, damit die Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe in der jeweiligen beim Ausschalten der Schaltkupplung (1; 20) eingenommenen Position sicher stehenbleibt und bei einer anschliessenden manuellen Betätigung der Fahrzeugtür oder Fahrzeugklappe der Reibschluss zwischen Ankerscheibe (10) und Reibbelag (2) überwindbar ist.

Abstract:
A vehicle door (16) cinching apparatus (10) for assisting the final closing motion of a sliding vehicle door (16) includes an electromagnet (12), a ferrous metal plate (24), a cinch drive (26) and a controller (28). The electromagnet (12) mounts on either an outer periphery (14) of a vehicle sliding door (16) or an inner periphery (18) of a vehicle sliding door frame (22) that's shaped to receive the sliding door (16) as the door (16) moves along a final inward cinching portion (18) of a door path (20) to a final closed position within the door frame (22). The plate (24) is supported on the other of the outer periphery (14) of the door (16) and the inner periphery (18) of the door frame (22) in a position where the plate (24) can magnetically engage the electromagnet (12) when the door (16) is disposed along the final cinching portion (18) of the door path (20). Whichever of the plate (24) and electromagnet (12) is supported on the inner periphery (18) of the door frame (22) is also supported for lateral movement in a direction generally parallel to the cinching portion (18) of the door path (20). According to the method, the cinch drive (26) moves whichever of the electromagnet (12) and plate (24) is supported on the inner periphery (18) of the door frame (22) to drive the door (16) along the final cinching portion (18) of the door path (20) and into the final closed position. The controller (28) de-energizes the electromagnet (12) and releases the door (16) from the cinching apparatus (10) once the door (16) has reached its final closed position.
Abstract:
A power operating system for opening and closing a vehicle liftgate (12) has a pair of drive units (22, 22') supported on the vehicle roof and connected to the liftgate (12) for opening and closing the liftgate (12). Each drive unit (22, 22') includes a housing (38, 60) having a curved track (80) and a curved gear rack (48) that is bodily movable endwise in the housing (38, 60) and guided by the curved track (80), the rack (48) also serving as the drive link between the housing (38, 60) and the liftgate (12). The combined rack and drive link is extended and retracted by a pinion gear (40) that is journalled interiorly in the housing and engages the teeth of the curved gear rack (48). The pinion gear (40) is rotated by the output shaft (62) of the motor (24), which in turn is fastened to the side of the housing (38, 60). The motor (24) is a reversible electric motor and is adapted to be operably coupled to the vehicle ECU unit and preferably includes an internal transmission and electrically operated clutch controlled by the ECU unit.
Abstract:
A power liftgate drive assembly (10) moves a liftgate (12) of a motor vehicle (14) between an open position and a closed position. The power liftgate assembly (10) is aligned along the side of the motor vehicle (14). A liftgate rod (46) extends in a generally vertical orientation between the power liftgate drive assembly (10) and the liftgate (12). The assembly (10) includes a base (24) that is fixedly secured to the motor vehicle (14) near a load floor (22). A guide (28) extends upwardly from the base (24). The guide (28) extends along the side of the motor vehicle (14) and is disposed adjacent the liftgate (12) when the liftgate (12) is in the closed position. A liftgate carriage (40) is connected to the guide (28). The liftgate carriage (40) slides along the guide (28). The liftgate rod (46) is pivotally connected between the liftgate carriage (40) and the liftgate (12). The liftgate rod (46) translates the linear movement of the liftgate carriage (40) into the pivotal movement of the liftgate (12) to move the liftgate (12) between the open and closed positions.
Abstract:
A power liftgate drive assembly automatically moves the liftgate of a vehicle between its open and closed positions. The drive assembly is secured to the vehicle at a position near the top of the liftgate. The drive assembly includes a motor that drives a sector gear between two positions. A guide rod is secured to the sector gear to translate the rotational movement of the sector gear into the pivotal movement of the ligtgate. A slot extends through the sector gear that allows the liftgate to be moved manually. A latch locks the guide rod in position with respect to the sector gear for automated movement whereas the latch releases the guide rod to move in the slot for manual operation.
Abstract:
An actuator assembly (20) for a powered sliding door system includes a housing (62) having a cavity (70) and a first cable reel (108) and a second cable reel (110) disposed in the cavity (70). The actuator assembly (20) includes a transmission assembly (138) being disposed in the cavity (70) and operatively connected to either the first cable reel (108) or the second cable reel (110) and a motor operatively connected to the transmission assembly (138). The actuator assembly (20) further includes a motor bracket (172) operatively connected to the transmission assembly (138) and enclosing the motor (192). The motor bracket (172) is adjustable relative to the housing (62) to form either a right-hand assembly, left-hand assembly or intermediate assembly for a right-hand and left-hand sliding door for a powered sliding door system (22).
Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to provide an anti-jamming system which reacts quickly when a closing part comes across an obstacle in spite of the high dynamic inertia of said closing part (1), which is moved by the actuator. To this end, a brake (2; 3) acts directly or indirectly on the closing part (1) in addition to or instead of the actuator deactivating the closing part or even activating it in reverse. Said brake is only released from its braking position when the closing part (1) can move freely, rather like a self-locking device.
