Description

Technical area

The present disclosure relates to a hood assembly for placement on a body of a motor vehicle. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a motor vehicle body and a motor vehicle, which is equipped with such a hood assembly.

background

Common motor vehicles, such as passenger cars (PKW), typically have a pivotally mounted on the body hood. For maintenance and repair purposes, the hood can be pivoted into a raised open position. For this purpose, the hood by means of a hood hinge is pivotally mounted on the body, for example in the region of an end wall or on an A-pillar of the vehicle body.

A common hood hinge is for example from the DE 10 2008 056 430 B3 known.

For novel vehicles and vehicle concepts, in particular for motor vehicles with electric drive, it may e.g. for safety reasons, be advantageous to deny end users of the motor vehicle access to an engine compartment. Any live or live components or connections in the engine compartment, e.g. of an electric vehicle should not be accessible to the end user.

In that regard, the present invention is based on the object to protect the engine compartment of a motor vehicle, in particular an electric vehicle from unauthorized access. It is also an objective to reduce the total weight and the manufacturing and assembly costs of the motor vehicle.

Advantageous embodiments

This object is achieved with a hood assembly according to claim 1 and with a motor vehicle body according to claim 14 and with a motor vehicle according to claim 15. Advantageous embodiments are each the subject of dependent claims.

In that regard, a hood assembly for arrangement or attachment to a body of a motor vehicle is provided. The hood assembly has at least one hood carrier for attachment to a hood. The hood carrier has a first bearing portion and a second bearing portion spaced therefrom. The first bearing portion and the second bearing portion are located on opposite sides of the hood carrier. For example, the first bearing section is located on an underside of the hood carrier while the second bearing section is located on an upper side of the hood carrier.

The hood assembly further includes a base support. The base support is designed to be arranged on the motor vehicle body. Alternatively, it can also be integrated into the body or integrated into it. The base carrier has a first abutment portion and a second abutment portion spaced therefrom.

The hood carrier is on the base support in a closed position V can be transferred, in which the first bearing portion is supported on the first abutment portion and in which the second bearing portion is supported on the second abutment portion.

Typically, the distance between the first bearing portion and the second bearing portion is widely identical to a distance between the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion. Also, the orientations of the first bearing portion and the first abutment portion and the orientations of the second bearing portion and second abutment portion are coordinated so that abuts the first abutment portion at the first abutment portion or is supported thereon upon reaching the closure position and at the same time the second bearing portion abuts the second abutment portion or is based on this.

The base support and the hood support are designed as such rigid and one-piece. The base support is, typically with a hood arranged thereon, in the course of assembly to the body by means of a combined sliding and pivoting movement on the body can be arranged and fastened. In that regard, the hood assembly can be configured hinge-free. On possible hinge components can be waived so far under weight and material savings aspects. The manufacturing and assembly costs can be further reduced. The fact that the hood assembly and the vehicle body are designed hinge-free unauthorized access to lying below the hood engine compartment is widely prevented, but at least much more difficult.

Typically, the hood assembly comprises at least two arranged in a spaced and parallel to each other hood carrier. The hood carriers can be spaced apart from one another in relation to the vehicle geometry approximately in the vehicle transverse direction (y). One of Hood carrier can be arranged for example on a left side of the hood while the other hood carrier can be arranged on a right side of the hood. By means of at least two hood carriers, the hood arrangement and the hood can be mounted and fastened several times to the motor vehicle body in a similar manner as by means of two hood hinges.

According to one embodiment, the hood arrangement has a hood, which has a first longitudinal end, with which the hood is connected to the at least one hood carrier. Typically, and providing at least two hood carriers, the first longitudinal end of the hood is connected to both hood carriers. The hood carrier (s) are typically arranged on an underside of the hood. The hood carriers can at least partially protrude from the first longitudinal end of the hood to come into operative connection with the body side provided basic carrier.

According to a further embodiment, the hood with a second longitudinal end, which is opposite to the first longitudinal end, releasably connectable by means of a hood lock with the body. The hood lock may e.g. Body side, in particular be arranged on a lock cross member. At the second longitudinal end of the hood, a lock bracket corresponding to the hood lock or otherwise cooperating with the hood lock fastener may be provided. By means of the hood lock the hood is fixable in the closed position.

According to a further embodiment, the hood by means of at least one hood carrier, typically with two hood carriers in a release position (L) can be arranged on the base support. In the release position, the hood is arranged with its second longitudinal end at a predetermined distance from the body or the hood lock. In the release position, the hood relative to the hood lock or against a lock cross member, relative to the vehicle vertical axis (z), at least slightly raised or raised. When the bonnet lock is open or released, the second longitudinal end of the bonnet, which lies at the front in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle, can automatically move into the at least slightly raised release position. This simplifies the handling of the hood and the entire hood assembly, such as to completely remove the hood from the vehicle body.

According to a further embodiment, the hood is under elastic deformation of at least one hood carrier, typically under elastic deformation of both hood carrier from the release position into the closed position can be transferred. The transfer of the hood assembly in the closed position requires depression of the second longitudinal end of the hood in the direction of the vehicle body, or in the direction hood lock until the hood lock locks. During this depression into the closed position, the at least one hood carrier, typically both hood carriers, experiences at least slight elastic deformation. The one or more hood carriers are placed under mechanical stress or bias, whereby a mutual support and conditioning of the first bearing portion and the first abutment portion and the second bearing portion and second abutment portion is reinforced.

According to a further embodiment, the hood carrier is frictionally held with at least one of its bearing sections on at least one of the abutment portions and fixed when the hood assumes the closed position. The elastic deformation of the hood carrier and the generation of a bias in the course of the transfer of the hood from the release position into the closed position increases a frictional engagement between the first bearing portion and the first abutment portion and between the second bearing portion and the second abutment portion.

According to a further embodiment, the at least one hood carrier has a longitudinally extended hood section and a fastening section adjoining thereto. The hood portion is attachable to a bottom of the hood. The attachment portion may protrude from the underside of the hood, in particular from the first longitudinal end of the hood. The attachment portion and the hood portion are configured in one piece or in one piece. The attachment portion may merge integrally into the hood portion. Due to the one-piece design of the attachment portion and hood portion, a particularly secure, durable and firm connection of the hood arranged on the hood hood can be provided on the body.

According to a further embodiment, the attachment portion has a curved elbow. The elbow can be designed in the manner of a semicircle or a pitch circle. The curvature can be designed convex or concave depending on the viewing direction. With reference to the vehicle's vertical axis and viewed from above, the attachment portion may be concavely curved or curved. Viewed from below, the attachment portion may be convexly curved or curved. The hood carrier may extend in particular in the plane formed by the vehicle longitudinal axis and by the vehicle vertical axis, or lie far in this plane completely. Related to the Vehicle transverse direction, he may be configured as a comparatively flat profile part.

The attachment portion does not necessarily have to be curved, but may also be straight. For this purpose, only the positions of the abutment would have to be changed accordingly. This change in abutment positions could also provide benefits depending on the design of the A-pillar design.

According to a further embodiment, the second bearing portion is formed on a hood portion facing away from the free end of the mounting portion. In particular, the second bearing portion may be configured at a free end of a curved piece. The second bearing section may be arranged upwardly in the vehicle vertical direction, relative to the installation position on the motor vehicle. In contrast, the first bearing section can be arranged on or formed on an underside of the fastening section or the hood section.

Accordingly, the second abutment portion may be configured in the manner of an end stop which limits upward movement of the second bearing portion relative to the vehicle vertical axis. In that regard, the second abutment portion may be disposed above the second bearing portion.

According to a further embodiment, the first bearing portion is formed in a transition region between the hood portion and the attachment portion. In particular, the first bearing portion of the hood carrier may be formed in a transition region of the hood portion in the curved elbow portion of the mounting portion. Again, the first abutment portion may be configured in the manner of an end stop, which limits a movement of the first bearing portion relative to the vehicle vertical axis down. In that regard, the first abutment portion may be disposed below the first bearing portion.

It can be provided in particular that the first bearing portion and the first abutment portion form a kind of pivotable support for the hood assembly and that in the course of mounting the hood assembly and the hood on the vehicle body, the first bearing portion undergoes a pivotal support on the first abutment portion. Then the hood assembly with the hood arranged thereon from the release position down into the closed position so long with the first bearing portion and first abutment portion pivotable as a pivot axis until the second bearing section reaches the second abutment portion to the plant while limiting those pivotal movement.

According to a further embodiment, the base support is attached as a separate component to a support structure component of the body. At least one of the first and second abutment section stands out from a plane of the basic carrier. The base support may have a substantially flat or planar basic geometry when designed as a separate component. With an inner side of the base support can for example be attached to a support structure component of the body, for example screwed thereto or welded. The first and the second abutment portion may in this respect protrude from an opposite outer side of the base support and cooperate with the reaching to the outside of the hood carrier in the manner described, in particular frictionally cooperate.

According to an alternative embodiment, the base support is integrated into a support structure component of the body. It can also be integrated in the composite of several support structure components of the body. In any embodiment, the basic carrier has at least one receiving opening for at least one partial area of the hood carrier, typically for the attachment section of the hood carrier. It can be provided in this case that at least one of the first and second abutment portion is arranged in the interior of the receiving opening of the base support. In that regard, the abutment portion in question is inaccessible from the outside. This can be advantageous in terms of space saving and space optimization of the engine compartment.

According to a further embodiment, at least one of the first and second abutment portion is formed on an edge of the receiving opening or arranged thereon. The design of an abutment portion, for example, the first abutment portion at the edge of the receiving opening allows a component reduction. In that regard, no separate component for providing the first abutment portion must be provided.

At least one of first and second abutment portion may be configured adjustable or adjustable. For example, at least one of the first and second abutment portion may be provided with a set screw. The adjusting screw itself, in particular a screw end thereof, can act as an abutment section. By means of a screwing the position of the screw end and thus also the position of the abutment portion can be adjusted variably and continuously on the base support.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that the base support is plastically deformable, in particular in the direction of the vehicle transverse axis. In the course of a motor vehicle final assembly, the at least one hood carrier or both hood carriers can be deformed and plastically deformed such that predetermined gap dimensions of the hood, in particular in the vehicle transverse direction (y), can be adjusted. The arrangement and attachment of the hood on the at least one, preferably on both hood carriers can be done by means of slots in the hood and / or hood carrier, so that a component and installation tolerances compensating assembly of the hood or the entire hood assembly is made possible on the body of the motor vehicle ,

According to a further aspect, a motor vehicle body is provided which has a previously described hood arrangement.

Furthermore, according to a further aspect, a motor vehicle, in particular in the form of a passenger car, is provided, which has a previously described motor vehicle body or a previously described hood arrangement. The motor vehicle can be configured in particular as an electric vehicle or as a hybrid vehicle. It may have electrical or live components in an engine compartment below the hood. Due to the fact that the hood can be detached from the body exclusively by service personnel with suitable or with special tools, access to the engine compartment or to the region of the motor vehicle lying underneath the hood can be prevented or impeded.

Detailed description

In 1 is a designed as a passenger car 1 shown. This has a motor vehicle body 2 with an interior acting as a passenger compartment 3 on. Forward and in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle 1 is in front of the passenger compartment 3 a hood 4 arranged in the form of a hood. In the 1 Hood shown in the closed position 4 is located below a windscreen area 7 , The hood 4 has a rear and first longitudinal end 6 and an opposite front second longitudinal end 5 on. Below the windscreen area extends a cross member 15 in the vehicle transverse direction (y).

The hood 4 is part of a hood arrangement 10 that in the further 2 - 12 is shown in several variants, configurations and views. The hood arrangement 10 points next to the hood 4 at least a hood carrier 14 and a basic part 12 on. The hood carrier 14 is with a hood section 30 at a bottom of the hood 4 fixable. The hood carrier 14 points next to the hood section 30 Further, a fastening portion 32 on, by means of which the hood carrier 14 at the base carrier 12 can be arranged and fastened thereto.

The attachment section 32 has a curved elbow 34 on, as in eg 3 is shown. The bow piece 34 and the hood section 30 go into each other in one piece. The hood carrier 14 may be configured similar or comparable to a hinge arm of a common hood hinge. The hood arrangement 10 is designed as such, however, hinge-free.

As in particular in the 6 and 7 it can be seen the hood carrier 14 with its hood section 30 at a bottom of the hood 4 , in particular on the longitudinal direction facing away from the direction of travel 6 the hood 4 arranged so that the attachment section 32 , or its elbow piece 34 from the longitudinal end 6 of the hood 4 protrudes. Typically, two are spaced from each other in vehicle transverse direction hood carrier 14 at the hood 4 arranged. In the 2 - 12 is for illustration purposes only one of the hood carriers 14 shown.

At the front in the direction of travel longitudinal end 5 is the hood 4 by means of a hood lock 20 on the vehicle body 2 , typically a lock cross member provided there 8th attachable and fixable. The hood lock 20 is typically on the lock cross member 8th arranged. At a bottom of the hood 4 is in the area of the front longitudinal end 5 one with the hood lock 20 operatively engageable lock bracket 22 arranged. Once the lock hanger 22 in the hood castle 20 the hood lock is locked in place 20 automatically and fixes the lock strap 22 thereto.

The basic carrier 12 and the hood wearer 14 are matched to each other in such a way that at the basic carrier 12 provided first and second abutment sections 26 . 28 with the hood carrier 14 provided first and second storage sections 16 . 18 clamped or frictionally engaged in operative connection as soon as the hood 4 or the hood arrangement 10 their in 7 and 3 shown closure position V assumes. As in particular in the 4 and 5 is shown on a bottom of the hood carrier 14 in a transition region between the hood section 30 and the attachment portion 32 a first storage section 16 provided, which with reaching the closed position V or closed position on the first abutment portion 26 of the basic carrier 12 comes to the plant.

At the same time is at a top of the hood carrier 14 in the area of the attachment section 32 , in particular at a free end of the attachment portion, which the hood portion 30 averted is a second bearing section 18 educated. Upon reaching the closure position V, this comes with a corresponding thereto designed second abutment portion 28 of the basic carrier 12 to the plant.

As in particular in 2 The first and second abutment sections are shown 26 . 28 configured as tabs, the one of a plane of the substantially newly designed basic carrier 12 protrude. In the embodiment shown, the first and the second abutment portion 26 . 28 in vehicle transverse direction (y) from the basic carrier 12 out. The basic carrier 12 is here on a support structure component 40 the vehicle body 2 arranged. He has a separate component, which is designed similar to a lower part of a previously common hood hinge.

The basic carrier 12 can, as in 2 shown outside the support structure component 40 be screwed on. The support structure component 40 For example, as a flange or as an extension of an A-pillar of the vehicle body 2 be educated.

In the in 2 and 3 shown opening position is the hood carrier 14 on an outside of the basic carrier 12 at. The two hood wearers 14 the hood arrangement 10 are typically arranged at such a distance from each other, which is the distance of the arranged on opposite outer sides of the two left and right to the body base supports 12 equivalent.

For assembly purposes, the hood carrier is provided 14 together with the hood arranged thereon 4 to transfer into an upwardly pivoted position, as this example in 4 is shown. In this raised position is the hood carrier 14 with the attachment section 32 preceded by the between the first and second abutment section 26 . 28 formed intermediate space feasible. An obliquely downwards and counter to the direction of travel directed translation movement of the hood carrier 14 becomes with reaching a plant of the first storage section 16 at the first abutment section 26 limited. From now on, the investment position between the first storage section will function 16 and first abutment section 26 as a fulcrum or pivot point for a subsequent pivotal movement of the hood 4 and the dumbbell 14 , The pivoting movement is in 5 indicated by a downward arrow. Here, learns the second bearing section 18 an upward pivoting movement, until it on the second abutment portion 28 comes to the plant.

It is envisaged that with the achievement of a mutual investment of first and second storage sections 16 . 18 at first and second abutment sections 26 . 28 the hood 4 a release position L opposite the lock cross member 8th or to the body 2 occupies. In the release position L is the longitudinal end 5 the hood 4 in an at least slightly raised position relative to the hood lock 20 or the lock cross member 8th ,

To transfer to the closed position V, it is necessary to the hood 4 with its longitudinal end 5 towards hood castle 20 , or in the direction of the lock cross member 8th to move. Such a movement is due to the already existing mutual contact position of first and second bearing sections and abutment sections an elastic deformation or elastic deformation of at least one, preferably both hood carrier 14. With reaching the eg in 7 shown closure position V learns or experience the hood carrier 14 a mechanical bias, as a result of which mutual contact and support forces or moments in the region of the first and second bearing and abutment portions are increased.

The hood carrier 14 can in this respect frictionally on the base support 12 be fixed. When loosening or opening the hood lock 20 Can the at least one hood carrier 14 , respectively both hood wearers 14 to relax in a basic position, consequently the hood 4 from the in 7 shown closure position V is transferred to the at least slightly raised release position L.

The representation and arrangement of the hood carrier 14 at the longitudinal direction facing away from the direction of travel 6 the hood 4 is purely exemplary. In principle, it is also conceivable that the hood carrier (s) 14 at the front longitudinal end 5 the hood 4 to arrange and the hood lock 20 at the opposite longitudinal end 6 the hood 4 provided.

At least one of the abutment sections 16 . 18 can be configured adjustable or adjustable. For example, in the region of the second abutment portion 28 a screw be provided by means of which an end stop for the second bearing section 18 in height, or relative to the vehicle vertical axis (z), is continuously and variably adjustable. In this way, the position of the hood 4 as well as the degree of elastic deformation of the hood carrier 14 variably changed and adjusted as needed.

In the embodiment, a hood arrangement 10 according to the 8th and 9 is the basic carrier 112 in the support structure component 40 the body 2 integrated. Again, the support structure component 40 as a kind of flange or extension of an A-pillar of the body 2 be designed. The support structure component 40 , hence the basic carrier 112 , here has a receiving opening 120 into which a partial area of the hood carrier 14 is insertable. In particular, the receiving opening 120 designed and configured to the attachment portion 32 the dumbbell 14 at least partially or completely.

In the illustration according to 8th It is shown that the first bearing portion 16 of the hood carrier 14 at a first abutment section 26 of the basic carrier 112 comes to the plant. The first abutment section 26 is located at a lower edge 122 the receiving opening 120 ,

Of the 2 , Abutment portion 28 , which with the second bearing section 18 the dumbbell 14 can interact inside the basic carrier 112 , or in a cavity of the base support 112 be arranged. The second abutment section 28 can in particular by a set screw 130 be formed, which at a designated location in the basic carrier 112 can be screwed. The free end 132 a screw shaft can in this case as a second abutment section 28 act. By a screwing movement of the adjusting screw 130 is the location of the second abutment section 28 so far stepless and variable, about adjustable for purposes of geometrical tolerance compensation or for setting a predetermined gap.

In 9 is a further education of in 8th shown hood assembly 10 shown. In addition to in 8th shown embodiment has in 9 shown hood arrangement 10 via an adjustment element 140 , The adjusting element 140 is eg by means of at least one fastening element 141 , Preferably by means of two, for example designed as a screw fasteners 141 attachable to the base support 112, in particular screwed. The adjustment element 140 has a thigh 142 on, which in assembly position of the adjusting element 140 in the area of the receiving opening 120 arrives. By means of the adjusting element 140 can the receiving opening 120 be reduced as needed.

The adjustment element 120 and / or the basic carrier 112 has at least one or more elongated holes for a variable and / or component tolerance compensating mounting of the adjusting element 120 at the base carrier 120 on. In particular, the adjusting element 120 related to the vehicle transverse direction (y) within certain installation tolerances variable on the base support 112 be attached. Accordingly, the leg can 142 with regard to its position in the vehicle transverse direction (y) in the region of the receiving opening 120 be moved. In that regard, with a comparatively wide receiving opening 120 the location of the hood wearer 14 and therefore the entire hood 4 in the vehicle transverse direction (y) can be adjusted as needed.

In addition or in addition to this, the hood carrier 14 especially in the vehicle transverse direction be plastically deformable. In the course of mounting the hood assembly 10 on the vehicle body 2 may be due to plastic deformation of the hood carrier or the 14 a predetermined gap can be set.

Also, by a variable positioning of the adjusting element 140 along the vehicle vertical axis (z) the vertical position of the first abutment portion 26 be changed as needed. In that regard, the adjustment can 140 also about the edge 122 out into or over the receiving opening 120 protrude. The first abutment section 26 can be used, for example, from positionally variable and as required on the base carrier 112 fixable adjusting element 140 be formed.

In the 11 and 12 are two different ways to connect the hood 4 at the two hoods 14 shown. At a bottom of the hood 4 are spaced apart in vehicle transverse direction fastening tabs 41 intended. The hood carrier 14 points in the area of its hood section 30 an approximately L-shaped profile. The fastening straps 41 come in the 11 shown assembly configuration on vertical, along the vehicle vertical axis (z) aligned legs 31 of the hood section 30 to lie.

By means of, for example, designed as a screw fastener 42 are the attachment tabs 41 on the thigh 31 of the hood section 30 fixable. In the area of the thigh 31 and / or in the region of the fastening strap 31 one or more slots may be provided which provide variable and tolerance compensating positioning of the hood 4 opposite the body 2 at least with regard to the vehicle longitudinal axis (x) and / or with regard to the vehicle's vertical axis (z). A positionally accurate and tolerances compensating adjustment and assembly of the hood 4 in the vehicle transverse direction (y) can by means of appropriate positioning of the adjusting element 140 and / or by plastic deformation of the hood carrier 14 be achieved.

In 12 is a deviating attachment of the hood 4 on the hood carrier 14 intended. There shows the hood 4 on its underside in the area of an upper leg 33 of the hood section 30 lying to be lying straps 43 on. These are in the in 12 shown mounting configuration approximately parallel to the upper legs 33 of the hood section 30 the hood carrier 14 aligned. The thigh 33 and the fastening straps 43 are also here by means of a fastener designed as a bolt, for example 42 connectable with each other.

Again, in the area at least one of the legs 33 and one of the attachment tabs 43 be configured at least one slot, which means a tolerance compensating adjustment and assembly of the hood 4 with respect to the vehicle longitudinal axis (x) and / or with respect to the vehicle transverse direction (y) can take place. An adjustment or a tolerance compensation in the direction of the vehicle vertical axis (z) can also be made here either by a plastic deformation of the hood carrier 14 or by a corresponding positioning and adjustment of the adjusting element 140 respectively.

In 10 Finally, a further embodiment of the hood assembly 10 is shown, which shows similarities with the embodiment according to the 9 having. Again, the basic carrier 112 in the support structure component 40 the vehicle body 2 integrated and thus has a receiving opening 120 for receiving the hood carrier 14 on. The receiving opening 120 is in this case substantially vertically, or aligned along the vehicle vertical axis (z). At a lower end of the receiving opening 120 is an adjustment element 140 arranged, for example, in height and in relation to the vehicle transverse direction (y) adjustable on the base support 112 can be fixed.

The adjustment element 140 can be the first abutment section 26 form. The second abutment section 28 is in 10 not explicitly shown. It may be on an outside of the basic carrier 112 another adjustment element 50 be provided, for example in the form of a screw, which in the cavity of the base support 112 can be screwed. The adjustment element 50 can insofar with the attachment section 32 interact and the position of the hood wearer 14 set or modify with respect to the vehicle transverse direction (y).

The illustrated embodiments show only possible embodiment of the invention to which further numerous variants are conceivable and within the scope of the invention. The exemplary embodiments shown are in no way to be construed as limiting the scope, applicability or configuration possibilities of the invention. The present description merely shows the person skilled in the art a possible implementation of an exemplary embodiment according to the invention. Thus, the most varied modifications can be made to the function and arrangement of elements described without departing from the scope of protection or its equivalents as defined by the following claims.
