Lock arrangement, in particular for an engine hood of a vehicle
A lock arrangement for an engine hood or a tailgate of a vehicle may have a locking element, a rotary catch for the locking element, a security element for securing the locking element in a secured position of the lock arrangement, a cam for unlocking and locking, and at least one actuating drive. The rotary catch and the locking element are coupled in locking fashion in a closed position of the lock arrangement. The at least one actuating drive may be designed as a two-way actuating drive which interacts with the cam. The cam is formed in such a way that, during the first actuation of the actuating drive, both in one step and in separate steps and in different sequences, the cam unlocks the rotary catch and locks the security element, or conversely the cam locks the security element and unlocks the rotary catch.
1. A lock arrangement for an engine hood or a tailgate of a vehicle, comprising:
a rotary catch for a locking element, wherein the rotary catch and the locking element are coupled in locking fashion in a closed position of the lock arrangement,
a security element for securing the locking element in a secured position of the lock arrangement,
a cam for unlocking and locking, and
at least one actuating drive which is designed as a two-way actuating drive and which interacts with the cam, wherein the cam is formed in such a way that it is actuated, during a first actuation of the actuating drive, both in one step and in separate steps and in different sequences, wherein said cam has a single radial extension with first and second contours, wherein the first contour is configured to unlock the rotary catch and lock the security element, and conversely, the second contour having a different radial extension than the first contour is configured to lock the security element and unlock the rotary catch.
2. The lock arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the cam contours are each formed as one of an opening surface or as a locking surface.
3. The lock arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the opening surface during the first actuation enters directly or indirectly into engagement with the rotary catch for unlocking and opening the rotary catch, and the locking surface enters directly or indirectly into engagement with the security element in order to lock it.
4. The lock arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating drive and/or the cam can be actuated during the first actuation in a first actuation direction and can be actuated in a second actuation in an actuation direction opposite the first actuation direction.
5. The lock arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein, during the first actuation of the actuating drive, the cam unlocks the rotary catch and the rotary catch automatically passes from a locked position into a free position, wherein the rotary catch releases the locking element and the locking element passes into the secured position, in which the security element secures the locking element.
6. The lock arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the cam is designed such that, during a second actuation or during a second actuation of the actuating drive, both in one step and in separate steps, the cam unlocks the security element and opens the locking element.
7. The lock arrangement according to claim 6 , wherein during the second actuation of the actuating drive, the cam unlocks the security element and the security element releases the locking element and the locking element passes into the open position of the lock arrangement.
8. The lock arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein a locking mechanism is provided for locking the rotary catch in the closed position of the lock arrangement.
9. The lock arrangement according to claim 8 , wherein the locking mechanism is designed as a pawl.
10. The lock arrangement according to claim 9 , wherein the actuating drive and the cam are movement-coupled to the locking mechanism for unlocking the rotary catch.
11. The lock arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating drive is designed as a servomotor which interacts with a spindle drive and a transmission.
