Abstract
A motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a locking mechanism consisting substantially of a rotary latch and a pawl. An electromotive drive is also implemented, which performs actuating movements using a drive element. There is also a blocking element for the drive element. According to the invention, the blocking element is designed as a blocking lever which is rotatable about a pin and which pivots into its blocking position by means of an actuating movement of the drive element. In this way, the actuating movement of the drive element and a subsequent reversing movement take place in a purely motorized manner and without spring force, specifically until the blocking position is reached.
Claims11
A motor vehicle lock comprising:
- a locking mechanism including a rotary latch and a pawl, and
- an electromotive drive which performs actuating movements on a release lever that acts on the locking mechanism, the electromotive drive including a drive element and a blocking element for the drive element, and
- a locking element,
- wherein the blocking element includes a blocking lever which is rotatable about a pin and which pivots into a blocking position by an actuating movement of the drive element and pivoting movement of the locking element, so that the actuating movement and a subsequent reversing movement of the drive element are performed in a motorized manner and without spring force until the blocking position is reached,
- wherein the blocking lever interacts with the locking element which holds the blocking lever releasably in the blocking position, and
- wherein the locking element is a locking angle lever rotatable about a second pin.
A motor vehicle lock comprising:
- a locking mechanism including a rotary latch and a pawl, and
- an electromotive drive which performs actuating movements on a release lever that acts on the locking mechanism, the electromotive drive including a drive element and a blocking element for the drive element, and
- a locking element,
- wherein the blocking element includes a blocking lever which is rotatable about a pin and which pivots into a blocking position by an actuating movement of the drive element and pivoting movement of the locking element, so that the actuating movement and a subsequent reversing movement of the drive element are performed in a motorized manner and without spring force until the blocking position is reached,
- wherein the blocking lever interacts with the locking element which holds the blocking lever releasably in the blocking position,
- wherein the blocking lever is an elongated a two-arm lever which is rotated about the pin,
- further comprising a spring, wherein the blocking lever has a spring arm acted upon by the spring, and a blocking arm interacting with the drive element.

- wherein the blocking lever interacts with the locking element which holds the blocking lever releasably in the blocking position,
- further comprising a return spring, wherein a contour on the drive element interacts with the return spring which transfers the drive element from the blocking position to a base position.
