Description

Technical area

The present development relates to a fastening element and a fastening arrangement for a motor vehicle body, in particular a fastening arrangement for fastening a trim component, such as a cover, to an outside of a motor vehicle body. The development also relates to a motor vehicle body equipped with the fastening element or with the fastening arrangement.

background

The assembly of components, for example panels or decorative elements, on the outside of a motor vehicle body proves to be time-consuming and complex. For example, from the DE 10 2017 005 236 A1 the arrangement of a panel on the outside of a motor vehicle body is known. This is attached to the web of a body pillar with the help of screws that extend through openings.

In contrast, the present development is based on the object of providing an improved concept for assembling and fastening components on a motor vehicle body, in particular on the outside of a motor vehicle body. This concept is intended to enable a component to be fastened to the outside of a motor vehicle body in a particularly simple, production-efficient, cost-effective and precise and semi-permanent manner. Advantageously, a fastening arrangement and a fastening element are to be provided which also enable the motor vehicle to be saved in weight.

Advantageous configurations

This object is achieved with a fastening element, a fastening arrangement and with a motor vehicle body according to the respective independent claims. Advantageous refinements are each the subject of dependent claims.

Accordingly, a fastening element is provided for fastening a component, in particular a panel, on a motor vehicle body, in particular on an outside of the motor vehicle body. The fastening element has a body. The body has a receptacle for the component to be fastened and a fastening section for fastening to the motor vehicle body. The fastening element itself can be arranged, fixed and fastened to the motor vehicle body by means of the fastening section. The receptacle of the fastening element or the body of the fastening element has a first receiving leg and a second receiving leg. The first and the second receiving leg can essentially form the receiving part. The fastening section of the body or of the fastening element has a first fastening leg and a second fastening leg. The first fastening leg is arranged as an extension of the first receiving leg. The second fastening leg is arranged as an extension of the second receiving leg.

To fasten the fastening element to the motor vehicle body, the first and / or the second fastening leg can be brought into engagement with a corresponding counter-fastening structure of the motor vehicle body in a clamping and / or latching manner. For the fastening and arrangement of the component on the fastening element, a clamping and / or latching holder of the component can also be provided in or on the receptacle of the fastening element.

For receiving and attaching the component to the fastening element, at least one of the first and second receiving legs can be movably supported or flexibly deformable with respect to the other receiving leg. In particular, at least one of the receiving legs can be designed as a latching element which can latch in a latching and thus form-fitting manner with the component inserted into the receptacle in order to fix it with respect to the fastening element.

At least one of the first and second fastening legs can also be movably supported or elastically deformable with respect to the other of the first and second fastening legs. In particular, at least one of the first and second fastening legs can be designed to be movable or elastically deformable relative to the other fastening leg against a restoring force. In this way, the fastening section can be connected, for example, as a mounting clip or as a mounting bracket, for example positively and / or frictionally, to a counter-fastening structure of the motor vehicle body provided for this purpose. Furthermore, both fastening legs and / or both receiving legs can be movable, e.g. be pivotally mounted, or designed to be flexibly deformable.

In that the first fastening leg is arranged in an extension of the first receiving leg and in that the second fastening leg is arranged in an extension of the second receiving leg, there is a synergy effect to the effect that an assembly or disassembly movement of the first and / or second fastening leg is only possible if and as long as the component is not yet positioned in the receptacle. In particular, it can be provided that the first and the second fastening legs are designed as spreading elements, which, with their outer sides facing away from one another, engage with a counter-fastening structure of the motor vehicle body in a latching or clamping manner or can be brought into a latching or clamping engagement.

For assembly or disassembly, it is therefore necessary that at least one of the first and second fastening legs performs an evasive movement in the direction of the other of the first and second fastening legs. Because the first fastening leg is arranged as an extension of the first receiving leg and because the second fastening leg is arranged in an extension of the second receiving leg, an evasive movement of the first and / or second fastening leg directed towards one another causes the first and second receiving legs to move towards one another accordingly . However, this is only possible if the receptacle between the first and the second receptacle leg is free of components.

Conversely, the arrangement of the first and second mounting legs in the extension of the first and second mounting legs, respectively, has the effect that the first and / or the second mounting legs cannot be moved towards each other as long as there is between the first and the second mounting leg, i.e. in the mounting, the Component or a component section are located. In other words, the fastening element in engagement with the body cannot be released or dismantled from the body until the component or a component section has been removed from the receptacle between the first and the second receptacle leg. In this way, a particularly good and durable connection or fastening of the fastening element to the motor vehicle body can be provided.

According to a further embodiment, the body of the fastening element can be designed in one piece. The body can be designed as a one-piece metal component, for example in the form of a correspondingly punched and / or shaped sheet metal. The body can, however, also be designed as a one-piece plastic component, for example as an injection molded component. In the case of a one-piece body, the receptacle is connected in one piece to the fastening section. In particular, the first fastening leg is integrally connected to the first receiving leg. The second fastening leg is also connected in one piece to the second receiving leg.

The first and second receiving legs can be designed, for example, to form a latching or clamping connection with the component. Likewise, the first and second fastening legs can be designed to form a latching and / or clamping connection with the motor vehicle body.

According to a further embodiment, the first receiving leg and the second receiving leg extend essentially parallel to one another. The first receiving leg and the second receiving leg can each have a substantially planar or flat geometry and to this extent provide a shaft-like receptacle for the component, in particular for an assembly extension of the component. The component or its assembly extension can typically be inserted into the space forming the receptacle between the first receptacle leg and the second receptacle leg along an insertion direction and, lying between the first and second receptacle legs, can be fixed to at least one of the first and second receptacle legs. To introduce the component or its assembly extension into the receptacle, at least one of the first and second receptacle legs can be movable relative to the other receptacle leg against a restoring force.

According to a further embodiment, the receptacle has an insertion opening for the component at an upper longitudinal end of the first receptacle leg and of the second receptacle leg. The upper longitudinal end of the first and second receiving legs is located at an end of the body of the fastening element facing away from the fastening section. The insertion opening defines an insertion direction for the component or its mounting extension into the receptacle. The direction of insertion is from top to bottom, that is to say along the longitudinal direction of the fastening element, starting from the upper longitudinal end of the first and / or second receiving leg in the direction of the opposite fastening section. The position of the insertion opening and the resulting insertion direction cause an at least temporary deformation and / or movement of at least one of the first and second receiving legs and at least one of the first and second fastening legs during the assembly of the component or its assembly extension on the fastening element.

It is provided in particular that for the assembly or disassembly of the component in or on of the receptacle, the receiving legs are subject to an evasive movement pointing away from one another, and that the first and second fastening legs for mounting or dismounting on the motor vehicle body are subject to an evasive movement directed towards one another. Because the first fastening leg is arranged as an extension of the first receiving leg and because the second fastening leg is arranged in an extension of the second receiving leg, it can be avoided, for example, when the component is detached from the fastening element, that the fastening element is detached from the motor vehicle body.

According to a further embodiment of the fastening element, the first fastening leg adjoins a lower longitudinal end of the first receiving leg. Likewise, the second fastening leg also adjoins a lower longitudinal end of the second receiving leg. The first fastening leg can be configured at least in some areas as a straight extension of the first receiving leg. Equally, the second fastening leg can also be configured as an at least regionally straight extension of the second receiving leg.

The recording can be limited in the direction of insertion. With the first and the second receiving leg, it can have an approximately U-shaped geometry. However, it is also conceivable that the receptacle is designed to be open at the bottom and that the receptacle has only one fastening section designed as an extension downward, facing away from the insertion opening for the component. Thus, the first and the second receiving leg can also be connected to one another only via the fastening section, preferably be connected to one another in one piece.

According to a further embodiment, the first fastening leg and the second fastening leg each have an insertion bevel oriented towards the opposite fastening leg at their end facing away from the receptacle. That insertion bevel enables and causes an evasive movement of the first fastening limb and the second fastening limb directed towards one another when the fastening limbs are inserted in the longitudinal direction into, for example, a recess or through opening of a counter-fastening structure of the motor vehicle body.

The lead-in bevels enable the fastening element to be attached to the motor vehicle body by a clip. The fastening can take place by simply inserting the fastening section into a recess or through opening on the body side. As soon as the lead-in bevels have passed an lead-in opening or through-opening of the relevant body component, the first and / or the second fastening leg can, under the action of an inherent restoring force, snap back into a starting position in which they are spread outwards and thus permanently with an opening border on the motor vehicle body Intervention.

According to a further embodiment, the first fastening leg and the second fastening leg are connected to one another at an end facing away from the receptacle. The first fastening leg and the second fastening leg can, in particular, be connected to one another with their respective insertion bevels, in particular, be connected to one another in one piece. The mutually facing lower ends of the respective lead-in bevels form a kind of tip, which enables particularly simple introduction into a recess or opening on the bodywork. This can also function for centering the fastening element with precise positioning relative to the body component.

It can further be provided that the first receiving leg is connected to the first fastening leg and that the second receiving leg is also connected to one another by its connection to the second fastening leg exclusively via the connection of the first and second fastening legs. Otherwise, the first receiving leg and the second receiving leg can be designed without connection. In this way, a movement and / or a deformation of the first receiving leg relative to the second receiving leg is always coupled with a corresponding movement and / or deformation of the first fastening leg relative to the second fastening leg.

According to a further embodiment, the first fastening leg has, adjacent to the first receiving leg, a first cheek which extends outwardly away from the second fastening leg. Likewise, the second fastening leg also has, adjacent to the second receiving leg, a second cheek which extends outwardly away from the first fastening leg. The first and the second cheek function, as it were, as spreading elements which, on their outer sides facing away from one another, have a greater distance from one another than the outer sides of the receiving legs.

The first and the second cheek are designed, as a result of an evasive movement directed towards one another, in or through a recess or through opening of a To get body component and after passing through the corresponding opening to snap back into their starting position, in which the first and the second cheek come to rest on an edge of the recess and / or opening in a supporting manner. The support takes place against the direction of insertion. The first and the second cheek form a type of barb after being passed through a recess or opening in the body component.

To release the fastening element from the body component, it is necessary to press the first and the second cheek together and thus to move them towards one another. However, this requires that the component or its assembly extension is no longer located between the first and the second receiving leg.

According to a further embodiment, at least one of the first and second receiving legs is movable or deformable in relation to the other of the first and second receiving legs against a restoring force. Furthermore, at least one of the first and second fastening legs can be movable or deformable in relation to the other of the first and second fastening legs against a restoring force. The mobility and / or deformability of the receiving legs and / or the fastening legs can be adapted as required by a corresponding choice of material, in particular also by a corresponding selection of the wall thicknesses of the receiving legs and / or the fastening legs.

According to a further embodiment, on at least one of the first and second receiving legs, a latching section protruding inwardly from the first and second receiving leg is arranged or formed. That latching section is designed to interact with a recess in the component, in particular with a recess in the mounting extension of the component. The latching section can, in particular, engage in a recess or through opening of the assembly extension and fix this captive in the receptacle of the fastening element.

The latching section typically extends obliquely downward into the receptacle from above. In particular, the latching section extends as a latching nose or as a latching tab from the inside of one of the receiving legs obliquely downward in the direction of the other receiving leg. The receiving leg, which is designed without a locking section, can have a recess and / or a through opening in the area of the locking section. This enables a particularly wide or large extension of the latching section in the direction of the opposite receiving leg. In this way, a particularly stable and durable connection between the component and the fastening element can be provided.

The provision of a through opening in that receiving leg which is opposite the latching section of the other receiving leg also enables the introduction of an assembly or disassembly tool in order to act separately on the latching section, e.g. to push back the locking section manually. This enables the component to be released from the fastening element.

According to a further embodiment, at least one of the first and second receiving legs has an insertion bevel protruding away from the other receiving leg at the upper longitudinal end, that is to say in the region of the insertion opening. Both receiving legs can also each be designed with an insertion bevel protruding away from the other receiving leg. The two lead-in bevels can quasi form a funnel-like introduction opening for the receptacle. This enables a particularly simple and defined introduction of the component or its assembly extension into the receptacle of the fastening element.

According to a further embodiment of the fastening element, the first and the second receiving leg are configured to be of different lengths in relation to an insertion direction into the receiving element. This in particular enables the component or its assembly extension to be picked up in the course of a pivoting movement of the component. In particular, it can be provided that the component configured, for example, as a panel is arranged pivotably on the body with a first fastening area and is brought into a final assembly position about a predetermined pivot point or about a predetermined pivot axis.

It is provided here that that receiving leg which is configured to face the pivot point or the pivot axis is configured to be somewhat shorter than the other receiving leg. This simplifies the inclusion of the component or its assembly extension in the area between the first and the second receiving leg in the course of a pivoting movement of the component relative to the motor vehicle body.

According to a further embodiment, the first receiving leg has at least one support foot protruding outward in the manner of a flange in the transition to the fastening section. The second receiving leg also has at least one flange-like in the transition to the fastening section outside protruding support foot. The first and / or the second receiving leg can each also have a plurality of support feet, for example two spaced apart supports. The first fastening leg or the one-piece transition from the first receiving leg to the first fastening leg can lie between a first and a second support foot of the first receiving leg or be arranged there.

Equally, the second fastening section or the transition of the second fastening section into the second receiving leg can also be arranged between a first and a second support foot of the second receiving leg, each of which projects outward in a flange-like manner. An underside of the support foot (s) facing the fastening section typically has such a distance from the first or second fastening leg, in particular from their first and second outwardly protruding cheeks, which corresponds to the material thickness of the body component that can be brought into engagement with the fastening element.

The support foot or the support feet form an end stop or a contact point for the fastening element on the body component. The support foot (s) limit an insertion or insertion movement of the fastening section into a recess or through opening on the bodywork side. The fastening section and the support feet are coordinated with one another, based on the longitudinal direction of the fastening element, or based on an insertion direction of the fastening element, into a recess or through opening on the bodywork side in such a way that when a final assembly position is reached in which the support foot or feet with an outside of the bodywork component get into the contact position, the first and / or the second fastening leg are under a pretension with a body-side opening edge. In this way, a particularly good, durable, but above all vibration-free fastening of the fastening element to the motor vehicle body can be provided.

In another aspect, the present development also relates to a fastening arrangement. This has at least one previously described fastening element which can be positioned and / or fixed in a receptacle of the motor vehicle body by means of its fastening section. The fastening arrangement also has a component to be fastened to the body. This can in particular be a panel or a decorative part which is typically to be mounted or fastened to an outside of the motor vehicle body. The component has a mounting extension that can be introduced or plugged into the receptacle of the fastening element. The assembly extension of the component designed as a panel can, for example, come into engagement with one of the two receiving legs in the interior of the receptacle in a clamping and / or frictional engagement. But it can also be brought into engagement with one of the two receiving legs in a latching manner.

According to a further embodiment of the fastening arrangement, the assembly extension of the component has a recess, by means of which the assembly extension can be brought into engagement with the latching section of the fastening element described above. The recess can, for example, be a through opening. The receiving leg which is opposite the latching section protruding inward and into the receptacle can also have a recess or through opening in the area of the latching section, which allows a particularly wide extension of the latching section, possibly penetrating the entire receptacle between the first and second receiving leg. A dismantling aid can be provided, in particular when a through opening opposite the latching section is configured in that receiving leg which is configured free of latching sections. The through opening in said receiving leg enables e.g. inserting a tool in order to disengage the latching section of the opposite receiving leg and the recess or through opening of the assembly extension as required. This enables a defined dismantling of the component from the fastening element.

According to a further aspect, the development further relates to a motor vehicle with a motor vehicle body and with a previously described fastening element arranged thereon. The motor vehicle body can also be designed with a fastening arrangement described above, which comprises at least one or more fastening elements described above and at least one component that can be fastened to the motor vehicle body by means of the fastening element or by means of several fastening elements.

Detailed description

The schematic in 1 shown motor vehicle 1 has a motor vehicle body 2 with an automobile interior 3 on. The vehicle interior is through one or more vehicle doors 4th accessible. These are typically pivotable on the motor vehicle body 2 stored. The fastening arrangement described below 10 and its associated fastener 20th In the present case, it is used to fasten a component 60 , especially an aperture 62 on the door frame 6 a front or a rear side door of the motor vehicle 1 .

The door frame 6 points, as in particular in the 2 and 5 shown, a double-shell structure. The door frame 6 has a first profile section 82 and a second profile section 84 on. These are connected to one another in a flange-like manner at their mutually adjacent end sections. The first and the second profile section 82 , 84 form an in 2 and 5 shown hollow profile. The profile section 82 forms an outside of the door frame 6 . The profile section 84 forms an inside. As in particular in 2 shown is on the door frame 6 next to the bezel 62 a seal 90 arranged which a typically lowerable disc 8th laterally sealed.

The aperture 62 is at a predetermined distance from the profile section 82 to be attached to this to create a quasi C-shaped mounting recess for the seal 90 to build. To this end, the bezel points 62 an assembly extension on its inside 66 which is approximately perpendicular or at a predetermined angle from the essentially flat panel 62 protrudes inward. One at a distance from the assembly extension 66 lying longitudinal edge of the component 60 or the aperture 62 has a C-shaped inwardly bent profile section 64 on how this is particularly in the 2 and 4th is shown.

The profile section 64 can, for example, have an edge-side flange section in the assembly position 83 from the first and second profile section 82 , 84 overlap. For the assembly of the component 60 on the body component 80 , especially on the door frame 60 can be provided first of all the profile section 64 on the flange at a given angle 83 to postpone and then to bring about a final assembly position the entire component 60 or the aperture 62 with the flange portion 83 as a pivot point or pivot axis in the in 2 to pivot shown final assembly position.

In the course of this pivoting movement, the assembly extension arrives 66 engaged with one in the 2 to 10 separately shown fastening element 20th . This in 6 shown fastening element 20th has a body 21st on. This can be designed in one piece. The body 21st can be formed from a sheet metal blank or also be designed in one piece as a plastic component, in particular as a plastic injection-molded component. The fastener 20th assigns a recording 30th for the component 60 , especially for the assembly extension 66 the aperture 62 on. The recording 30th is on the side of a first receiving leg 22nd and a second receiving leg aligned essentially parallel thereto 24 limited. The fastener 20th also has an attachment portion 40 on, by means of which the fastener 20th on the body component 80 , in particular at a designated and in 5 shown recording 86 is attachable. At the recording 86 it can in particular be a through opening 88 in the profile section 82 of the body component 80 act. At the through opening 88 it can in particular be a rectangular opening that corresponds to the outer contour of the fastening section 40 corresponds.

The fastening section 40 of the fastener 20th has a first fastening leg 42 and a second mounting leg 44 on. The first mounting leg 42 extends in extension of the first receiving leg 22nd . In particular, it can have a first appendix 23 integral with the first receiving leg 22nd be connected. The second fastening leg can also do the same 44 as an extension of the second mounting leg 24 be arranged. As in particular in 3 is shown, the second fastening leg is also possible 44 via a corresponding extension 25th in one piece in the second receiving leg 24 about.

The first and second receiving legs 22nd , 24 are typically aligned essentially parallel to one another. Between the first receiving leg 22nd and the second receiving leg 24 is, so to speak, a receiving shaft for the assembly extension 66 educated. At an upper longitudinal end of the first and second receiving legs 22nd , 24 , which is the fastening section 40 is turned away, points the recording 30th an insertion opening 27 on. The insertion opening 27 gives an insertion direction for the assembly extension 66 into those of the first and second receiving leg 22nd , 24 educated recording 30th in front. It is intended that the assembly extension 66 from above and lengthways of the body 21st , that is, in the direction of the fastening section 40 in the area between the first receiving leg 22nd and the second receiving leg 24 is insertable.

Adjacent to the overhead insertion opening 27 have the first and second legs 22nd , 24 each an outwardly directed lead-in bevel 26th , 28 on. These facilitate the introduction of the assembly extension 66 in the recording 30th .

The fastening section 40 with its first and second fastening leg 42 , 44 can act as a kind of expansion element, which can be inserted into a receptacle 86 or through opening 88 of the body component 80 is designed. As in particular in the 3 and 8th shown is the maximum outer distance of the first and second receiving legs 22nd , 24 larger than the clear width of the passage opening 88 . For inserting, especially for clipping in the fastening element 20th in the recording 86 or in the through opening 88 it is therefore necessary to use at least one of the two fastening legs 42 , 44 inward, to deflect or deform each other mounting leg.

The first and / or the second fastening leg 42 , 44 are for this purpose either movably mounted and / or designed to be deformable. To a required deformation or movement of the first and / or second fastening leg 42 , 44 in the course of an assembly on the body component 80 to simplify and / or enable both the first fastening leg 42 than the second mounting leg 44 each one to the opposite fastening leg 44 , 42 lead-in bevel oriented towards 46 , 48 on. The lead-in bevels 46 , 48 are directly connected to one another at their lower end. They form a point below 41 or a free end of the fastening section 40 .

With the tip 41 first, the fastening element can be inserted into the receptacle from above or from the outside 86 or in the through opening 88 of the profile section 82 can be used. This leads to an evasive movement directed inwards or towards one another or deformation of the respective fastening legs 42 , 44 to one in the 3 or 8th shown final assembly position is reached. In this is a waist or belt line of the convex or diamond-shaped outwardly designed fastening legs 42 , 44 on an inside of the profile section 82 . The one adjacent to the receiving leg 22nd , 24 provided and downward and outward extending cheeks 43 , 45 of the first and second fastening legs 42 , 44 come into engagement with the opening edge of the receptacle in this way 86 or through opening 88 like this in the 3 and 8th shown in detail.

As the mounting legs 42 , 44 into the respective receiving legs 22nd , 24 go over in one piece, it is for inserting or clipping in the fastening section 40 in from the inclusion 86 formed counter-fastening structure of the body component 80 required, also the first and second receiving legs 22nd , 24 to move towards each other. However, this is only possible if the assembly extension 66 still outside the recording 30th is located. In this respect, a dismantling of the fastening element 20th from the body part 80 only take place when the assembly extension 66 outside of the recording 30th is located.

As long as the assembly extension 66 still in the recording 30th and thus between the first and second receiving legs 22nd , 24 is a compression of the first and second fastening legs 42 , 44 blocked for assembly or disassembly purposes and therefore not possible. This leads to a particularly good and stable fastening of the fastening element to the motor vehicle body. The assembly of the assembly extension 66 in the recording 30th forms, so to speak, a reinforcement or stabilization of the fastening of the fastening element 20th on the vehicle body 2 .

As in particular from the 3 , 6 and 8th can be seen, has the fastener 20th both on the first receiving leg 22nd as well as on the second receiving leg 24 at a lower end, that is to say the transition to the fastening section 40 , each at least one flange-like outwardly protruding support foot 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 on. Upon reaching the final assembly position of the fastener 20th on the vehicle body 2 those support feet are supported 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 on the outside of the body component 80 from. The position of the support legs 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 in the longitudinal direction of the fastening element 20th in relation to the location of the fastening section 40 is typically chosen so that when the in the 3 and 8th shown final assembly configuration of the first and / or the second fastening leg 42 , 44 standing under tension with the recording 86 of the profile section 82 are engaged. The distance between the outward protruding cheeks 43 , 45 in the longitudinal direction to the support feet 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 is typically according to the material thickness of the profile section 82 elected. In this way, a clamping and pre-tensioned fastening or arrangement of the fastening element 20th on the body component 80 can be achieved.

As also in the 7th , 9 and 10 shown, has at least one of the receiving legs 22nd , 24 one inside, into the recording 30th protruding latching section 36 on. The latching section is designed to latch with one in the assembly extension 66 provided recess 68 or through opening 70 to get into engagement, as shown in particular in the cross section of the 9 and 10 is shown. The latching section 36 can, as in 9 shown as an embossing or indentation in the material of the receiving leg 24 be designed. In this respect, it can form a locking lug. Alternatively and as in the embodiment according to 10 shown, the latching portion 36 also one inclined at a predetermined angle to the longitudinal extent of the receiving leg 24 extending tab 38 have their in the recording 30th protruding free end with an opening border of the recess 68 or through opening 70 of the assembly extension 66 engaged.

The latching section advantageously extends 36 from top to bottom diagonally into the receptacle 30th inside. The free end of the tab 38 or that of the locking lug according to 9 The recess formed is located at the lower end of the latching section.
