Motor vehicle lock

摘要

The invention is directed to a lock for a door arrangement, wherein a catch and a pawl are provided. The catch can be brought into an opening position and into a closed position. The catch may be brought into holding engagement with a lock striker. The pawl may be brought into an engagement position. The pawl may be deflected into a release position. A pawl actuation lever is provided for deflecting the pawl. An engagement arrangement is provided. The engagement arrangement comprises a deflection lever on the side of the pawl actuation lever and a counter contour on the side of the pawl. The deflection lever is configured to engage the counter contour. An actuation movement of the pawl actuation lever can deflect the pawl into the release position. An inertial characteristic of the deflection lever causes a deflection movement along a free-wheeling path.

1. A motor vehicle lock for a motor vehicle door arrangement, the lock comprising:
a catch and a pawl assigned to the catch, wherein the catch can be brought into an opening position and into a closed position, wherein the catch, which is in the closed position, is configured to be brought into holding engagement with a lock striker, wherein the pawl may be brought into an engagement position in which it is in blocking engagement with the catch, and wherein the pawl may be deflected into a release position in which it releases the catch; a pawl actuation lever for deflecting the pawl into the release position; an engagement arrangement between the pawl actuation lever and the pawl, wherein the engagement arrangement comprises a deflection lever on a side of the pawl actuation lever and a counter contour on a side of the pawl, wherein the deflection lever is configured to engage the counter contour to deflect the pawl into the release position, wherein an actuation movement of the pawl actuation lever for deflecting the pawl into the release position is translated into a deflection movement of the deflection lever, wherein an inertial characteristic of the deflection lever causes the deflection movement of the deflection lever along a free-wheeling path in which the deflection lever misses the counter contour, when the actuation movement of the pawl actuation lever surpasses a rapidity threshold in a crash situation, and wherein the inertial characteristic of the deflection lever causes the deflection movement of the deflection lever along an engagement path in which the deflection lever engages the counter contour, when the actuation movement of the pawl actuation lever is below the rapidity threshold under normal conditions; and an at least partly resilient guiding arrangement configured for sliding engagement with the deflection lever and configured to guide the deflection lever into the engagement path when the actuation movement of the pawl actuation lever is below the rapidity threshold; wherein, when the actuation movement of the pawl actuation lever surpasses the rapidity threshold, the inertial characteristic of the deflection lever causes the deflection lever to exert forces onto the resilient guiding arrangement via the sliding engagement such that a portion of the resilient guiding arrangement is displaced and releases the deflection lever into the free-wheeling path.
