Abstract

A door drive for a motor vehicle door has a lever element which can be mounted on the body work side of the motor vehicle and which can be connected to an adjustable drive element of a drive device arranged on the motor vehicle door. The adjustable drive element is designed as a rocker element which can be mounted about a bearing axis and which includes a first lever arm by which the rocker element is at least indirectly connected to an actuator of the drive device, and also includes a second lever element by which the rocker element is connected at least indirectly to the lever element.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A door drive for a motor vehicle door of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a lever element which is mountable, at one end, on a shell side of the motor vehicle and which, at another end, is connected to an adjustable drive element of a drive device which is arranged on the motor vehicle door, wherein
the adjustable drive element is a rocker element which is movable about a bearing axis and which comprises a first lever arm, via which the rocker element is at least indirectly connected to an actuator of the drive device, and a second lever arm by which the rocker element is at least indirectly connected to the lever element,
the bearing axis of the rocker element extends in a transverse direction of the motor vehicle door, and
at least a respective bearing point of the first lever arm with respect to the actuator and a respective bearing point of the second lever arm with respect to the lever element are arranged offset with respect to one another by a distance in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle door.

2. The door drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the drive device serves both to open and to close the motor vehicle door.

3. The door drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the distance between the two lever arms in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle door is matched to a width of a side window device of the motor vehicle door.

4. The door drive as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
an axle stub is located in a region of the bearing axis of the rocker element, and the respective bearing points of the first and second lever arms are spaced apart from one another by the axle stub and the distance in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle door.

5. The door drive as claimed in claim 3 , wherein
the distance in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle door of the bearing points of the two lever arms is generated by a lever arm region, running laterally in the transverse direction of the door, of at least one of the lever arms.

6. The door drive as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the distance in the transverse direction of the motor vehicle door of the bearing points of the two lever arms is generated by a lever arm region, running laterally in the transverse direction of the door, of at least one of the lever arms.

7. A motor vehicle door, comprising a door drive as claimed in claim 1 .

8. The motor vehicle door as claimed in claim 7 , wherein
the rocker element is attached to a frame element of a door shell, which is arranged opposite a door pillar to which the motor vehicle door is fastened.

9. The motor vehicle door as claimed in claim 8 , wherein
a through opening for the lever element in the frame element, lying opposite the door pillar, of the door shell is provided in a central region between two hinges of a hinge arrangement on the door shell.
