Assembly for adjusting an adjustment element relative to a stationary portion of a vehicle
First Claim
1. An assembly for adjusting an adjustment element relative to a stationary portion of a vehicle, in particular a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body, the assembly comprising:
- a drive motor for electromotively adjusting the adjustment element;
a transmission element;
an electrically actuatable coupling device which, in a coupling first condition, couples the drive motor with the transmission element in order to exert an adjustment force for adjusting the adjustment element on the transmission element, and in a decoupling second condition decouples the drive motor from the transmission element;
an electrically actuatable locking device for locking the adjustment element with the stationary portion of the vehicle in a closed position, wherein the locking device has a locked condition in which the locking device is locked relative to the stationary portion for locking the adjustment element in the closed position, and an unlocked condition in which the locking device is unlocked for adjusting the adjustment element relative to the stationary portion; and
a control device for controlling the drive motor, the coupling device, and the locking device,wherein for adjusting the adjustment element out of the closed position the control device is formed to;
initially actuate the coupling device for transferring from the decoupling second condition into the coupling first condition and the drive motor for exerting an adjustment force on the transmission element; and
subsequently transfer the locking device from the locked condition into the unlocked condition.

Abstract
An assembly for adjusting an adjustment element relative to a stationary portion of a vehicle, in particular a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body, comprises a drive motor for electromotively adjusting the adjustment element and a transmission element. In a coupling, first condition an electrically actuatable coupling device couples the drive motor with the transmission element, in order to exert an adjustment force for adjusting the adjustment element on the transmission element, and in a decoupling, second condition decouples the drive motor from the transmission element. An electrically actuatable locking device serves for locking the adjustment element with the stationary portion of the vehicle in a closed position. A control device controls the drive motor, the coupling device and the locking device.

12. A method for adjusting an adjustment element relative to a stationary portion of a vehicle, in particular a vehicle door relative to a vehicle body, the method comprising:
-
electromotively adjusting the adjustment element using a drive motor; an electrically actuatable coupling device which, in a coupling condition, is configured to couple the drive motor with a transmission element, in order to exert an adjustment force for adjusting to adjustment element on the transmission element, and which, in a decoupling, is configured to decouple the drive motor from the transmission element; providing an electrically actuatable locking device which, in a locked condition, is configured to lock the adjustment elrment with the stationary portion in a closed position, and which, in an unlocked condition, is configured to release the adjustment element for adjusting the adjustment element relative to the stationary portion; and controlling, via a control device, the drive motor, the coupling device, and the locking device; wherein, for adjusting the adjustment element out of the closed position, the control device; initially actuates the coupling device for transferring from the decoupling condition into the coupling condition and the drive motor for exerting an adjustment force on the transmission element, and subsequently actuates the locking device for transfer from the locked condition into the unlocked condition.
