Motor vehicle door lock
A motor vehicle door lock comprising a locking mechanism ( 1, 2 ), an actuating lever unit ( 3, 4, 16 ), which interacts with the locking mechanism ( 1, 2 ), a drive ( 6, 7, 8, 9 ) impinging upon the actuating lever unit ( 3, 4, 16 ) and an anti-theft protection device ( 10, 11 ), wherein a buffer member ( 12, 13 ) is assigned to the actuating lever unit ( 3, 4, 16 ) and to an unlocking lever ( 5 ) which interacts with the actuating lever unit ( 3, 4, 16 ), the buffer member being controlled by the anti-theft protection device ( 10, 11 ) in accordance with the desired functional position of the locking mechanism ( 1, 2 ).
1. A motor vehicle door lock comprising: a locking mechanism, an actuating lever unit, which interacts with the locking mechanism, a drive impinging upon the actuating lever unit and an anti-theft protection device, wherein a biasing member is assigned to a lever of the actuating lever unit and to an unlocking lever which interacts with the actuating lever unit, and wherein said biasing member is either blocked or unblocked by the anti-theft protection device respectively in an anti-theft position and a non-anti-theft position to allow or prevent unlocking of the locking mechanism.
2. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 1 , wherein the biasing member is arranged between the drive and the locking mechanism.
3. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 1 , wherein the biasing member is made up of two parts, a leg spring and a rocker spring.
4. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 3 , wherein the rocker spring impinges on the unlocking lever depending on its position in an “open” or “keep closed” position of the locking mechanism.
5. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 3 , wherein the leg spring interacts with a coupling lever on one hand and the unlocking lever and/or anti-theft protection device on the other hand.
6. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 5 , wherein a one free leg of the leg spring rests against the coupling lever and an other fixed leg rests against a journal of the unlocking lever.
7. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 3 , wherein the leg spring is mounted on the unlocking lever essentially on the same axis as its axis of rotation.
8. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 1 , wherein the drive is designed as an opening drive and contains a cam driven by an electric motor for opening.
9. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 1 , wherein the drive interacts with a release lever.
10. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 1 , wherein in an “unlocked” position the unlocking lever releases a previously blocked coupling lever.
11. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 10 , wherein the coupling lever is mounted in at least one guide.
12. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 11 , wherein two guides are provided for the coupling lever which are arranged in adjacent levers.
13. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 12 , wherein the one guide is provided in an internal release lever and an other guide in the unlocking lever.
14. The motor vehicle door lock according to claim 3 , wherein the anti-theft protection device is equipped with a motor and a cam acted upon by the motor for blocking a fixed leg of the leg spring.
