Motor vehicle door lock with a lock unit and a control unit which are separate from one another
First Claim
1. Motor vehicle door lock, comprising:
- a lock unit with mechanical lock elements including a lock latch and a detent pawl, and a lock mechanism with interacting elements in a control unit, said control unit being arranged at a spatially separate location from the lock unit in or on a motor vehicle door or hatch, wherein the lock unit is connected to the control unit by a remote power transmission means, wherein the lock elements of the lock unit are mechanically actuated by means of the remote power transmission means from an element of the lock mechanism in the control unit, wherein there is at least one sensor component in the lock unit for determining the position of at least one of the lock latch and the detent pawl, and wherein the sensor component is electrically connected by means of an electrical connecting element to lock electronics in the control unit, the electrical connecting element being integrated into or combined with the mechanical power transmission means.

Abstract
A motor vehicle door lock with mechanical lock elements in a lock unit, the door lock includes a lock mechanism with several interacting elements in a control unit which is arranged at a location that is spatially separate from the lock unit in or on a motor vehicle door or hatch. The lock unit is connected to the control unit by a remote power transmission in the form of a Bowden cable, and the lock element in the lock unit can be mechanically actuated from an element of the lock mechanism in the control unit by the remote power transmission. In the lock unit, there is at least one component which is to be supplied with electricity to be triggered and/or to be interrogated, the at least one component is electrically connected by an electrical connecting element to lock electronics in the control unit, and the electrical connecting element is integrated into or combined with the mechanical power transmission.
