Description

The invention relates to a pendulum support and a method for producing such a pendulum support.

In a motor vehicle pendulum supports are used differently. For example, the transmission can be mounted with a pendulum support or the engine can be connected to the body via pendulum supports, but pendulum supports are predominantly known and used as components of the wheel suspension of the motor vehicle.

In addition to the term "pendulum support" and the name "coupling rod" is known. Due to the large number of different vehicle models, variants and types of drives exist today many different versions of such pendulum supports. Their basic structure is always the same. The pendulum support is a relatively short strut whose length can vary between about ten centimeters and thirty centimeters. At both ends of the pendulum support each have components, such as sleeve joints, sleeves, forks, simple screw or ball joints, with which it is fixed in the vehicle. The compounds of the pendulum support to the steering knuckle and the stabilizer are usually realized by ball joints, in particular by radial joints or axial joints.

In suspension, the one end of the pendulum support is connected to the stabilizer of the motor vehicle, which in turn improves the road holding and driving characteristics. The other end of the pendulum support, however, is attached to the chassis suspension and / or the vehicle frame. The up and down movements of the motor vehicle occurring during the journey are relayed via the pendulum supports to the stabilizer, which then compensates for these movements, which allows a direct reaction of the entire chassis to unevenness or inclinations and thus has a positive effect on the ride comfort.

Pendulum supports are also known, which have on one or both sides an elastomer bearing, consisting of an elastomer body and a connecting flange arranged in the latter. For cost reasons, the housing and the support arm formed thereon or associated therewith are usually made of metallic materials, such as sheet steel.

To be able to absorb the bearing forces occurring over the entire life of the pendulum support, the hitherto known housing are always oversized, which requires a corresponding use of materials. In other words, the housings must have a greater material thickness than would actually be desirable. Pendulum supports of the type concerned here have a housing of at least two housing parts, which are connected to each other by means of a fixing weld. As a rule, these housings are made of steel sheets by suitable forming processes. The support arm of the pendulum support can also consist of two parts and thus be a part of the respective housing parts. However, there are also variants in which the support arm is only subsequently fixed to the housing. From the DE 296 24 383 U1 For example, a pendulum support is known in which the housing and the support arm are fixed to each other by means of a welded connection. If reference is made below to a "housing", then in particular the aforementioned embodiments are synonymous to understand.

The invention has for its object to provide a pendulum support in a material-saving, yet stable design, which consists as possible of a variety of standardized components and manufacturing technology is easy to manufacture. In addition, a method for producing such a pendulum support is to be specified.

This object is achieved by a pendulum support according to claim 1 and by a method according to claim 8.

Further embodiments of the invention are the subject of each subsequent sub-claims and given in the following description.

A pendulum support, with a metallic, a support arm having housing in the receiving opening an elastomeric body is received, wherein the housing consists of two or at least two housing parts, which are connected by means of a Fixierungsschweißnaht, in particular cohesively, with each other, according to the invention further developed such that between the housing parts additionally a reinforcing weld is present. Preferably, the housing parts by means of the reinforcing weld, in particular in addition, preferably cohesively, connected to each other.

The additional reinforcing weld not only provides a reliable, permanently strong connection between the housing parts. Rather, it also has a reinforcing effect on the stability of the entire housing in the sense of a material application, so that, for example, the moment of resistance and thus the load limit beyond which the component deforms undesirably is increased. With this very simple measure can Consequently, the housing can be designed to save on materials and yet fully meets the requirements placed on a pendulum support and / or even goes beyond the normal requirements. The pendulum support can be adapted as a welded construction to different load levels, so that it can be adapted and designed flexibly according to the requirements placed on it. Overall, the or an inventive pendulum support can also produce much more economical than previously known designs. With the invention, a weight saving can also be achieved. If it is assumed in the present case of a metallic housing, so this relates in a preferred manner to the support arm, which in particular also consists of a metallic material. For example, or is or will be or are the support arm and / or the housing and / or the housing parts, in particular in each case, preferably by a suitable forming process, made of a metal sheet or alternatively made of a solid material and / or milled or manufactured as a casting and / or generated. However, the two last-mentioned manufacturing possibilities of the housing and the support arm lead in particular to higher production costs, as is the case with a formed from a sheet metal component.

The housing preferably comprises a, in particular around the receiving opening encircling, lateral surface. Preferably, the housing is made of metal, in particular aluminum, magnesium or a ferrous material, such as e.g. Stole. Advantageously, the housing is made of sheet metal, such as e.g. Sheet steel.

The housing parts preferably each include one, in particular around the receiving opening encircling, lateral surface. Preferably, the lateral surfaces of the housing parts form parts of the lateral surface of the housing. For example, the lateral surfaces of the housing parts together form the lateral surface of the housing. Advantageously, the housing parts lie in one, in particular around the receiving opening encircling, contact area to each other. Preferably, the housing parts are made of metal, in particular aluminum, magnesium or a ferrous material, such as e.g. Stole. Advantageously, the housing parts are made of sheet metal, such as e.g. Sheet steel.

The support arm is preferably made of metal, in particular aluminum, magnesium or a ferrous material, such as e.g. Stole. Preferably, the support arm is made of sheet metal, e.g. Sheet steel.

A first, further proposed solution of the invention is that the reinforcing weld, in particular along the lateral surface of the housing, preferably in sections or completely, circumferentially formed or executed or is. By only partially attaching the reinforcing weld, the manufacturing process of the housing can be accelerated. The sections of the reinforcing weld are provided primarily in those areas in which the highest load peaks are to be expected. Such material stresses can be e.g. determined by experiments and also calculated using appropriate computer programs. If, on the other hand, a completely circumferential reinforcing weld seam is provided, it is particularly unnecessary to determine the maximum load zones on the housing or on the support arm of the pendulum support.

As already stated, a fixation weld is used to fix the housing parts together. This is or will be mounted in particular in the contact area of the adjoining housing parts. Preferably, the fixation weld, in particular along the lateral surface of the housing, preferably circumferentially formed or executed, preferably completely or in sections. A further development of the invention goes beyond the fact that the reinforcing weld seam along the inner circumference of the receiving opening the housing is designed or executed extending or is. This has the advantage that the reinforcing weld in the mounted state of the pendulum support, that is, when the elastomeric body, is no longer visible and also largely protected from moisture. In particular, therefore, no or only minor corrosion protection measures must be provided on the reinforcing weld. For example, the reinforcing weld is free of corrosion protection. The reinforcing weld forms or is preferably an inner weld of the housing.

A particularly advantageous measure is also to be seen in the fact that the reinforcing weld fills a, preferably wedge-shaped, groove or notch extending between the housing parts which are connected to one another or to be connected to one another. By completing the, in particular wedge-shaped, groove or notch is taken into account in an improved manner the claim to achieve a significant increase in the stability of the housing by the reinforcing weld. Furthermore, the material connection between the housing parts is or will be considerably improved. Preferably, the groove or notch, in particular along the lateral surface of the housing, preferably completely or in sections, circumferentially formed or executed. Advantageously, the groove or notch along the inner circumference of the receiving opening of the housing is designed to run or executed. The groove or notch is in particular symmetrical. Preferably, each housing part contributes in a similar way to the groove or notch.

In order to improve the system of housing parts together and to simplify the attachment of the fixation weld, it is also advantageous if the housing parts each have a present on its outer surface connecting web. The housing parts thus preferably each have a connecting web which is present on its outer surface, in particular around the receiving opening and projecting radially from the latter, which is preferably circumferentially formed or executed, in particular along or the respective outer surface, preferably completely or in sections. In particular, the housing parts abut each other with their connecting webs and / or with their respective connecting web formed thereon. The connecting webs preferably have suitable geometries, such as the or a groove or notch, in the area of contact between the housing parts in order to simplify and improve the attachment of the fixing weld. Alternatively or additionally, the fixation weld is e.g. applied as an order on the surface of the housing parts. The radial length of the connecting webs can be identical.

Preferably, however, the radial length of the connecting webs is different. In particular, the radial length of the connecting web of one of the housing parts is shorter than the radial length of the connecting web of another of the housing parts. Due to the difference in the radial length of the connecting webs, in particular one, preferably circumferential, step is formed, at which preferably the fixing weld is or will be provided.

Preferably, the attachment of the fixation weld at the, in particular around the receiving opening encircling, outer surface of the interconnected or interconnected housing parts and / or on the connecting web, which also brings manufacturing advantages with it, since this area is relatively easily accessible. The fixing weld seam is thus preferably provided or provided on the outer surface (s) of the housing parts which are connected or to be connected to one another, in particular around the receiving opening, and / or on the connecting web (s). The fixation weld forms or is preferably an outer weld of the housing.

According to a very advantageous development of the invention, moreover, it is proposed that the fixing weld and / or the reinforcing weld, in particular in each case, can be generated or generated by means of a robot welding or is or are or will be. By this measure, a substantial or complete automation in the manufacture of the housing or a pendulum support according to the invention can be achieved. This results in particular manufacturing advantages and cost advantages. In addition, the "human error factor" can be excluded in a robot welding, so that the generated or generated welds overall have a consistent quality that meets the highest standards.

According to one embodiment, a connecting flange is received by the elastomer body, which is in particular integrally connected to the elastomeric body. Preferably, the pendulum support is connected via the connecting flange with a component of a motor vehicle or connectable. Preferably, the connection flange is made of plastic or metal, in particular aluminum, magnesium or a ferrous material, such as e.g. Stole.

Preferably, the support arm, in particular at its end facing away from the housing, a connection contour. Preferably, the pendulum support is connected or connectable via the connection contour with one or another component of the or of a motor vehicle.

• -Fertigung der zueinander passenden Gehäuseteile und lösbare Anordnung derselben in einer Halterungsvorrichtung,
• -Erzeugung der Fixierungsschweißnaht, sodass die Gehäuseteile, insbesondere zum Ausbilden des Gehäuses, stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden werden,
• -Erzeugung der Verstärkungsschweißnaht,
• -Einbringung des Elastomerkörpers in die Aufnahmeöffnung des somit erzeugten Gehäuses. Durch die Erzeugung der Verstärkungsschweißnaht werden die Gehäuseteile insbesondere zusätzlich stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden.

The inventive method for producing the or a pendulum support is characterized in particular by the following method steps:

• -Production of the mating housing parts and detachable arrangement thereof in a mounting device,
• Generation of the fixing weld, so that the housing parts, in particular for forming the housing, are bonded together in a material-locking manner,
• -Producing the reinforcing weld,
• -Einbringung the elastomeric body into the receiving opening of the housing thus generated. As a result of the generation of the reinforcing weld seam, the housing parts are additionally connected to one another in a materially bonded manner.

With these few steps, the pendulum support according to the invention can be produced very economically and, moreover, has increased strength values compared with known solutions due to the additional reinforcing weld seam. Ultimately, this can accelerate production. Another advantage is the ability to save material, without having to compromise on the functionality of the pendulum support.

The method can be developed in accordance with all embodiments explained in connection with the pendulum support. Furthermore, the pendulum support can be developed according to all embodiments explained in connection with the method. The method is preferably used for the production of the pendulum support.

A particularly economical possibility of producing the pendulum support according to the invention or by means of the method described above can be achieved if the reinforcing weld seam and the fixing weld seam are produced at the same time. Preferably, the reinforcing weld and the fixation weld are thus generated at the same time. This measure can be implemented in particular in a simple manner if the mentioned robot welding is used. Alternatively, it is possible to sequentially generate the reinforcing weld and the fixation weld. For example, first the fixation weld is generated, after which the reinforcement weld is produced or vice versa.

The method steps are preferably carried out in the stated order, wherein in particular the generation of the fixing weld and the generation of the reinforcing weld can be carried out successively or simultaneously. For example, the generation of the reinforcing weld occurs after the generation of the fixation weld. In this case, all process steps are performed in the specified order. Alternatively, the formation of the fixation weld occurs, e.g. simultaneous with the generation of the reinforcing weld or thereafter.

As has already been stated, it may represent a significant advantage to produce the reinforcing weld seam, in particular completely along the lateral surface of the housing, or to provide it only in sections. The reinforcing weld seam is thus preferably produced or provided circumferentially, in particular along the jacket surface of the housing, preferably completely or in sections. The completely circumferential reinforcing weld leads to a higher strength of the housing, while a sectional reinforcing weld has a positive manufacturing effect, since less time is required for the production of the housing and less welding material is necessary.

In addition, the fixation weld along the lateral surface of the housing can be generated completely or in sections circumferentially, which corresponds to a further advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention and brings about the same advantages as the previously described equipment of the housing with the reinforcing weld. Preferably, the fixation weld is thus generated or provided circumferentially, in particular along the or a lateral surface of the housing, preferably completely or in sections.

The reinforcing weld seam is preferably produced or provided in the or one, in particular provided or existing, preferably wedge-shaped, groove or notch on the inner surface and / or the inner circumference of the receiving opening of the housing. Furthermore, the fixation weld is produced or provided in particular at the outer surface of the housing, which revolves in particular around the receiving opening. This special type of arrangement of the welds leads in particular to a compensation of the stresses arising in the component during the welding process during the heating process. Thus, this can be generated very homogeneous and distortion-free. Preferably, the groove, or in particular along the lateral surface of the housing, preferably circumferentially formed or executed, preferably completely or in sections. Advantageously, the groove is formed or executed running along the inner circumference of the receiving opening of the housing.

From the 1 goes by way of example a pendulum support 1 in which a housing 3 is integral with a support arm 2 is trained. The housing 3 has a receiving opening 4 on, its inner surface 10 geometrically to one in the receiving opening 4 introduced elastomeric body 5 is adjusted. From the elastomeric body 5 is a cohesively connected thereto connecting flange 14 received, in particular via a compound of the pendulum support 1 is possible with a component of a motor vehicle. For this purpose, the connection flange 14 centrally has a recess or connection bore 15 on. The elastomeric body 5 is via two, preferably web-shaped, supporting body 17 and 18 against the inner surface 10 the receiving opening 4 of the housing 3 supported, which are inclined and / or at an angle to each other and from the connecting flange 14 out. Between the inner surface 10 the receiving opening 4 and the supporting bodies 17 . 18 of the elastomer body 5 is a bearing cup 16 arranged, in particular approximately semicircular, on the inner surface 10 the receiving opening 4 rests and preferably on its inside cohesively with the elastomeric body 5 connected is. The elastomer body 5 points, in particular in the longitudinal direction of the support arm 2 considered, two, opposite each other at the connection flange 14 trained buffer elements 19 and 20 on that a gap distance to the inner surface 10 the receiving opening 4 of the housing 3 exhibit. This special arrangement of the elastomer body 5 defined in the longitudinal direction of the support arm 2 End stops of the elastomer body 5 on the inner surface 10 the receiving opening 4 the pendulum support 1 , Like from the 1 further shows, the housing has 3 the pendulum support shown here 1 a circumferential connecting web 13 on, which prefers into the support arm 2 merges and in particular for attachment of a fixation weld 8th along the outer surface 12 serves.

The 2 illustrates an exploded view of the manufacture of the or a housing 3 with the or a support arm 2 for or a pendulum support 1. The housing 3 is made up of a housing part 7 with an integrally formed support arm 2 together and has a receiving opening 4 on, in the later the elastomer body 5 the pendulum support 1 is inserted. The support arm 2 in this case has a connection contour at the end 21 which is fork-shaped in the illustrated example and provided with holes or bores which serve in particular to the pendulum support 1 to install in a motor vehicle. The inner surface 10 of the housing part 7 is formed on a circumferentially running annular collar. In addition, located on the outside surface 12 of the housing part 7 , in the area of the receiving opening 4 , the or a circumferential connecting bar 13 in particular for the attachment of or a fixation weld 8th serves. At the bottom of the 2 is the corresponding counterpart to the housing part 7 namely the housing part 6 shown. This has along its inner circumference a wedge-shaped groove 11 on, in after the assembly with the housing part 7 in the direction of the arrows shown, the reinforcing weld 9 is introduced so that the reinforcing weld 9 the wedge-shaped groove 11 completely filled out.

A first embodiment of the or a, in particular produced by a forming process of a metal sheet, housing 3 with or one, in particular integrally formed thereon, support arm 2 show the 3 ,

The housing 3 in the present case consists of a first housing part 6 and a second housing part 7 , where the housing parts 6 and 7 in the area of the connecting bar 13 abut each other. The connecting bridge 13 serves here to produce a cohesive connection of the housing parts 6 and 7 by attaching a fixation weld 8th , The fixation weld 8th is like this from the 3 clearly shows only sections of the connecting bridge 13 attached and not completely circulating executed. It is also clear that after assembling the housing parts 6 and 7 along the inner surface 10 the receiving opening 4 the one or the other through the reinforcing weld 9 filled, wedge-shaped groove 11 is available. The support arm 2 also has in this embodiment, the end of the or a connection contour 21 for fixing the pendulum support in or on a motor vehicle.

The 4 relates to or substantially to the illustration in FIG 3 identical Execution of the or a housing 3 with or integrally molded thereto support arm 2 , The assembly shown here was also preferably produced by a forming process. In contrast to the variant in 3 is however the fixation weld 8th completely circumferential along the connecting web 13 executed. Apart from this difference, the embodiments agree according to the 3 and 4 in particular.

From the 5 is a cut through the housing 3 in the region of the connecting web formed thereon 13 out. The housing 3 is made up of the or a housing part 6 and the or a cohesively connected to this housing part 7 together. The radial length of the connecting web 13 of the housing part 6 is slightly shorter than the radial length of the tie bar 13 of the housing part 7 , This allows the attachment of the fixation weld 8th at the bottom of the connecting bridge 13 of the housing part 7 and at the, in particular radial, end face of the connecting web 13 of the housing part 6 , so that here, in particular a level and / or stepless, transition was created. The aforementioned underside is preferably the one or a connecting web of the housing part 6 facing side of the connecting web 13 of the housing part 7 , The fixation weld 8th is located on the outer surface 12 of the housing 3 , This opposite is within the or a wedge-shaped groove 11 the reinforcing weld 9 along the inner surface 10 the receiving opening 4 of the housing 3 arranged. The reinforcing weld 9 fills the wedge-shaped groove 11 completely off, so that in this sectional view in the axial direction of the receiving opening 4 of the housing 3 considered a smooth surface arises.

The 6 illustrates two views of the housing 3 with the support arm formed thereon 2 during manufacture of the reinforcing weld 9, the housing 3 partially shown in section. For producing the reinforcing weld 9 comes a cranked welding head 22 used inside the wedge-shaped groove 11 the reinforcing weld 9 generated by moving along the inner surface 10 the receiving opening 4 of the housing 3 to be led. In the illustration in 6 this is the welding beam 23 indicated. The control of the welding head 22 done by means of a robot, so that a reinforcing weld 9 highest quality is produced.

Clearer than this from the 6 shows, the shows 7 an enlarged detail of the housing 3 , It can also be seen that at the connecting web 13 previously the or a fixation weld 8th was attached, but also at the same time with the production of the reinforcing weld 9 can be done. In the example shown, following the formation of the fixation weld 8th by means of the welding head 22 and the welding beam 23 the reinforcing weld 9 within the wedge-shaped groove 11 generated.

A spatial perspective of the housing 3 during the manufacture of the reinforcing weld 9 shows the 8th ,

The 9 and 10 illustrate a comparison of a respective force-deformation diagram for a pendulum support according to the prior art and according to the invention.

Like from the 9 3, which shows a force-deflection diagram for a prior art pendulum support, a permanent, non-reversible deformation of the illustrated pendulum support occurs approximately in the region of 30,000 N, which is manifested by the drop following the rise of the curve shown. This load limit can be determined even with pendulum supports, which have a reinforced housing and are therefore manufactured with an additional expenditure of material.

In contrast to this shows the 10 a force-deformation diagram for or pendulum support according to the invention 1 that a reinforcing weld 9 having. Here, the permanent, plastic deformation comes only about 50,000 N to fruition. This proves that the inventive design of the or a pendulum support 1 with an additional deformation weld 9 results in a substantial improvement in the strength values, which also allows for additional material savings.
