In particular, it may be the case that when assembling the assembly, for example when assembling a body, the at least two components to be connected to one another are easily accessible from one side, for example from a front area, so that during assembly the components to be connected are of can be assembled together from this side by means of the connection system and, however, after the completion, in particular of the corresponding vehicle, in a service case, the components are easily accessible from another side, for example from a cockpit area, so that in such a case the connection of can be solved on the other side.

In some advantageous embodiments it is provided that at least one connection unit of the connection system has a greater release torque than at least one other connection unit of the connection system. In particular, a larger moment, for example a larger force, is required to release the connection formed by the connection unit with the larger release torque than the connection formed by the connection unit with the smaller release torque.

In particular, it can be achieved that, for example when dismantling the assembly, the different release torques determine which connection is released first by which connection unit.

In particular, one advantage of different release torques is that when a force is applied to release a connection of the connection unit with a smaller release torque, a connection of a connection unit with a larger release torque remains. In particular, the connection system, in particular its system body, remains captively connected to the component which is connected to the connection unit with the larger release torque.

In particular, the fastening mechanisms of the connection units are designed with different release moments in such a way that they are released and/or fastened by a different moment.

In some favorable embodiments it is provided that connection units with different release moments each have fastening mechanisms of different types and so, for example, different release moments are realized.

In other advantageous embodiments it is provided that at least two connection units with different release moments each have a fastening mechanism of the same type, but the similar fastening mechanisms are designed in such a way that they have different release moments.

For example, in locking connections, locking elements are mounted with different degrees of elasticity as similar fastening mechanisms, so that different release moments can be achieved.

In particular, in the case of screw connections as similar fastening mechanisms, different torques are implemented for loosening and/or fastening the respective screw connection in order to achieve different loosening moments in these similar fastening mechanisms.

In particularly advantageous embodiments, it is provided that an at least substantially symmetrical system body at least partially forms at least two connection units which have a different release torque.

In particular, the at least essentially symmetrical system body forms at least one respective element in each of the at least two connection units, in particular at least one essentially identical element, for example a respective connection element and/or a respective assigned stop element.

In particular, the different release elements of the at least two connection units are realized in that an element that can be released from the at least substantially symmetrically designed system body, for example a holding element, is designed differently in the two connection units.

In some advantageous embodiments, the connection system includes a rotation lock.

In particular, the anti-rotation device is provided and designed to at least substantially prevent rotation of two components that are connected and/or to be connected by the connection system relative to one another when they are at least partially released and/or at least partially connected.

In particular, the anti-rotation device is provided and designed to at least substantially prevent rotation of this component and/or another component connected to the connection system about the connection axis when a component is at least partially connected and/or at least partially detached from/from the connection system becomes.

For example, the anti-rotation device is provided and designed so that when there is at least partial loosening and/or at least partial connection, the system body is rotated relative to at least one component, in particular relative to the component to be released and/or connected and/or relative to another Component connected to the connection system is at least essentially prevented.

Advantageously, even with at least partial loosening and/or at least partial connecting, a relative position of the elements and/or parts to one another is maintained and achieved.

Advantageously, the anti-rotation device ensures that, in the case of at least partial connection and/or partial detachment, undesired detachment of, for example, a further component is prevented by at least substantially preventing undesired rotation.

For example, in some favorable embodiments, the rotation lock of the connection system is formed by a positive fit.

In particular, the connection system has at least one form-fitting segment for this purpose. In particular, the form-fitting segment interacts with a component in a form-fitting manner, so that relative rotation of the two is blocked.

Preferably, at least one element of the connection system, for example a stop element and/or a connecting element and/or a holding element, has at least one form-fitting segment.

Advantageously, at least one form-fitting segment is formed on and/or formed by the system body.

In some favorable embodiments it is provided that the rotation lock is formed by different release moments of at least two connection units. Advantageously, undesirable twisting occurs in a connection unit with a larger release torque for example, elements of this connection unit relative to the connected component and/or undesirable rotation of the component connected by this connection unit relative to the system body is at least substantially blocked.

One in the 1 until 8th An exemplary embodiment of an assembly designated overall by 100 comprises at least two components 110I and 110II to be connected to one another and a connection system designated overall by 120, through which the two components 110I and 110II are releasably connected to one another, the connection system 120 for releasably connecting the both components 110I and 110II are used.

In particular, the fact that the components 110I, 110II are connected to one another means that they are mounted on one another and are fastened to one another.

The connection system 120 advantageously comprises two connection units 124I and 124II for connecting a respective component 110 to the connection system 120.

The at least two components 110 are at least largely and in particular to the extent of interest here designed to be the same and are therefore described together. For reference symbols for the components and their elements and features, a Roman numeral designating a respective component and/or element is only appended if a distinction is to be made between one component or its element and another component or its element. The order of the Roman numerals and/or a designation as the first and second component does not imply any ranking or other distinction between the components or their elements, but rather the Roman numerals and the designation of the first and second components merely serve to distinguish between the components, which are fundamentally the same trained components and their elements.

The two connection units 124 are at least largely designed to be the same, unless otherwise explained below. So much for the connection units 124 and their elements are designed in the same way, there is no need to add a Roman numeral identifying a respective connection unit to the respective connection unit and its elements. The designation with a respective Roman numeral and/or designation as the first connection unit and second connection unit is not to be understood as a ranking or the like between the connection units, but merely serves to distinguish one connection unit from another. As far as a feature is explained in connection with a connection unit, this is to be understood, unless something else is explicitly explained in the context, to mean that this feature can also be provided interchangeably in the other connection unit in variants.

The assembly 100 with the connection system 120 has several states.

In particular, the multiple states include a fully connected state in which the two components 110I and 110II are connected to one another by a connection formed by the connection system 120, as exemplified in 1 is shown.

In particular, in the fully connected state, the two connection units 1241 and 124II are each in a connecting state with one of the two components 1101 and 110II, in which the respective connection unit 124 forms a connection between the corresponding connected component 110 and the connection system 120, so that also the two components 110I and 110II are connected to each other.

In particular, the multiple states include a fully released state in which the two components 110I and 110II are separated from each other and from the connection system 120. In particular, in the completely released state, the two connection units 1241 and 124II are each in a non-connecting state, in which the connection unit 124 does not connect a component 110 to the connection system 120 and/or to another component 110.

The connection system 120 and in particular its connection units 124 can assume different positions in the completely released state. By way of example, there are two positions in the completely released state of the connection system 120 in the 2 and 3 shown.

In particular, the plurality of states include at least two only partially detached/connected states, wherein in one of the only partially detached/connected states one of the connection units 124 with a component 110 is in a connecting state and another connection unit 124 is in a non-connecting state and in another only partially released/connected state, one connection unit 124 is in a non-connecting state and the other connection unit 124 with a component 110 is in a connecting state.

An example is in 4 an only partially released/connected state of the assembly 100 with the connection system 120 is shown, in which the first connection unit 124I, for example, is in a connecting state with the component 110I and the second connection unit 124II, for example, is in a non-connecting state.

An example is in 5 an only partially released/connected state of the assembly 100 with the connection system 120 is shown, in which the first connection unit 124I, for example, is in a non-connecting state and the second connection unit 124II, for example, is in a connecting state with the second component 110II, for example.

In particular, in an only partially released/connected state, the connecting unit 124, which is in a non-connecting state, can assume different positions as in the completely released state.

In particular, a reference to an at least partially solved state is to be understood below as a reference to the completely solved state and/or to the only partially solved/connected states.

In particular, a reference to an at least partially connected state is to be understood below to mean a reference to the fully connected state and/or to the only partially detached/connected states.

The components 110 include a respective connecting section 132.

A respective connecting section 132 includes two opposite sides 134 and 136. In particular, the sides 134 and 136 of the connecting section 132 are arranged opposite one another in a normal direction 138 of the connecting section 132.

In particular, the connecting section 132 extends transversely to the normal direction 138, preferably in terms of area and, for example The connecting section 132 extends essentially in a connecting surface 142, which is at least approximately perpendicular to the normal direction 138 at least locally. Preferably, the connecting surface 142 is at least locally a geometric plane.

In particular, an extent of the connecting section 132 in the connecting surface 142 is significantly larger, for example at least five times larger, preferably at least ten times larger, than a thickness of the connecting section 132 measured in the normal direction 138.

For example, the respective connecting surfaces 142I and 142II of the two interconnected components 110I and 110II run at least approximately parallel to one another in the fully connected state, at least in the area of the connection produced by the connecting system 120.

In particular, one side 134, 136 of each of two interconnected components 110 face each other in the fully connected state, for example the side 136I of the component 110I and the side 134II of the component 110II face each other in the fully connected state, as exemplified in 1 is shown.

In particular, the mutually facing sides 134, 136 face each other in the direction axial to the connecting axis 216 and in particular, at least locally in the area of the connection, the geometric connecting plane 218 runs between the two mutually facing sides 134, 136 of the interconnected components 110.

In particular, a respective side 134, 136 of each of the two components 110 to be connected that is opposite the facing side, for example in a normal direction 138, faces away from the other component, for example a side 134I of the component 110I faces away from the component 110II and a side 136II of the component 110II faces away Component 110I facing away.

The connecting units 124 are advantageously designed in such a way that they can each be moved from the connecting state to the released state and/or vice versa in the spatial region 126 arranged next to the side facing away from the other side 134, 136, in particular also when on the side facing away from them There is no access to the spatial area 126 arranged next to the other component 110.

In particular, each of the connection units 124 is accessible from a respective spatial access area 126.

Advantageously, the spatial access area 126 of a connection unit 124 is arranged adjacent to the side 134, 136 of a connected component 110, which faces away from the other component 110 in the fully connected state.

In particular, the connecting section 132 has a connecting opening 146, which runs continuously through the connecting section 132 between the two sides 134 and 136 and opens on both sides 134 and 136, in particular the

Connection opening 146 runs in the normal direction 138 through the connecting section 132 and extends transversely thereto with a breakthrough extension 148, in particular in the connecting surface 142.

For example, the connecting opening 146 is essentially designed as a round hole and the opening extension 148 is a diameter of the round hole.

The connection opening 146 is surrounded on the circumference by an edge region 152 of the connection opening 146.

The connection system 120 includes in particular a system body 212, which is, for example, separately in 6 is shown. For example, the system body 212 largely forms the connection system 120.

In particular, the connection system 120, in particular the system body 212, defines a geometric connection axis 216, along which a connection, for example between a component 110 and the connection system 120 and in particular between two components 110 through the connection system 120 in an at least partially connected state is manufactured.

In particular, the connection system 120, in particular the system body 212, defines a geometric connection plane 218, with the two connection units 1241 and 124II being arranged at least essentially on two different sides of the geometric connection plane 218. In particular, the geometric connection plane 218 runs spatially between the two connection units 1241 and 124II.

The geometric connection plane 218 advantageously runs at least approximately perpendicular to the geometric connection axis 216.

The connection system 120 advantageously comprises a stop element 232. In particular, in an at least partially connected state, a component 110 connected to the connection system 120 rests on the stop element 232. This is exemplified in the 7 and 8th and also in the 1 , 4 and 5 shown.

Conveniently, the stop element 232 extends transversely to the connection axis 216 and in particular the stop element 232 extends essentially in the connection plane 218.

The stop element 232 is preferably formed from the system body 212.

In particular, the stop element 232 comprises at least one contact surface 234, against which a connected component 110 rests, in particular with its connecting section 132, in an at least partially connected state. The contact surface 234 is assigned to a connection unit 124.

Conveniently, the stop element 232 has two contact surfaces 234I and 234II, which are each assigned to a connection unit, for example the connection unit 1241 or 124II. Conveniently, one of the two contact surfaces 234 is formed on one of two sides of the stop element, the two sides being opposite sides, in particular with respect to the axial direction of the connecting axis 216. In particular, the two contact surfaces 234 are arranged on different sides of the geometric connection plane 218.

For example, the contact surface 234 runs transversely, in particular at least approximately perpendicular, to the connecting axis 216.

In particular, the connection unit 124 comprises a holding element 242, which holds a component 110 connected to the connection system 120 at least in a partially connected state.

Conveniently, in the at least partially connected state, the holding element 242 holds the connected component 110 together with the stop element 232, in particular the held component 110 with its connecting section 132 being arranged between the stop element 232 and the holding element 242. Preferably, the connecting section 132 is pressed by the holding element 242 against the stop element 232 in the connecting state of the connecting unit 124.

The connection unit 124 advantageously comprises a connection element 252, which at least forms the connection between the connection system 120 and the connected component 110 in the connecting state of the connection unit 124.

Preferably, the connecting element 252 is at least molded onto the stop element 232 and in particular is formed in one piece with it from the system body 212.

The connecting element 252 is preferably designed to extend elongately in an extension direction 254, in particular the extension direction 254 being oriented at least approximately parallel to the connection axis 216 and/or at least approximately perpendicular to the geometric connection plane 218. In particular, the elongated extension of the connecting element 252 defines the connecting axis 216.

In particular, the connecting element 252 extends from a molded end 256, on which the connecting element 252 is molded in particular onto the stop element 232, advantageously in the extension direction 254 to a free end 258.

In particular, the connecting element 252 is intended and designed to reach through the connecting opening 146 of a component 110 to be connected.

Advantageously, a thickness of the connecting element 252, which is measured transversely, in particular at least approximately perpendicular, to the extension direction 254, is dimensioned such that the connecting element 252 can reach through the connecting opening 146, so the thickness is smaller or preferably almost as large as the opening extent 148.

The stop element 232 advantageously extends, starting from the molded end 256, transversely, in particular at least approximately perpendicularly, to the extension direction 254, i.e. in particular at least approximately parallel to the geometric connecting plane 218 and/or at least approximately perpendicular to the connecting axis 216, over the extent of the connecting element 252 out so that the Total extent of the stop element 232 in this direction is greater than the breakthrough extent 148.

This means that the connecting element 252 can advantageously reach with the free end 258 through the connecting opening 146 and the connecting section 132 can be displaced along the extension direction 254 until this connecting section 232 comes into contact with the stop element 232, in particular the connecting section 232 at least partially rests against the corresponding contact surface 234.

Conveniently, the connecting element 252 extends in the extension direction 254 with an extension which is greater than the thickness of the connecting section 132 between the two sides 134 and 136, so that when the connecting section 132 rests on the contact surface 234 with one side 134, 136, for example with on page 134, as exemplified in 7 is shown, another protruding part 262 protrudes freely from the component 110 over the other side 134, 136, here for example over the side 136.

In particular, the interaction of the connecting element 252 with the component 110 to be connected, here in particular the reaching of the connecting element 252 through the connecting opening 146, positions the component 110 to be connected in the state to be connected.

In particular, the connection unit 124 includes a fastening mechanism 272 for fastening the component 110 to be connected in the connecting state. The fastening mechanism 272 advantageously effects the holding of the component 110 or at least participates in the holding.

Advantageously, the fastening mechanism 272 is at least partially formed by the holding element 242 and/or the connecting element 252 and/or the stop element 232.

The fastening mechanism 272 is in particular a releasable fastening mechanism 272, with which at least some elements of the connecting unit 124, here in particular the holding element 242 relative to the connecting element 252, can be moved from a connecting position to a released position and vice versa and when changing the state , for example from a connecting state to a loosened state and vice versa.

In particular, the fastening mechanism 272 fixes the holding element 242 on the connecting element 252 and supports the holding element 242 so that it can act on this component 110 to hold the component 110 to be connected.

For example, the fastening mechanism 272 includes a screw connection that is formed between the holding element 242 and the connecting element 252. By unscrewing the holding element 242 from the connecting element 252, the holding element 242 is moved into a released position and when the holding element 242 is screwed onto the connecting element 252, the holding element 242 is fixed and a force can be applied to the connecting section 132 to hold the component via the holding element 242 110 can be exercised.

In particular, the connecting element 252 has an external thread 274 at least on its protruding part 262 and the holding element 242 has an internal thread 276 in a passage 278.

In some favorable variants of the exemplary embodiment, at least one connection unit 124 is designed to be rotationally symmetrical with respect to the connection axis 216, at least to the extent that the component 110 to be connected can be placed in the connecting state of the connection unit 124 in at least almost any angular position e relative to the connection axis 216.

In particular, at least the connecting opening 146 and the connecting element 252, which extends through the connecting opening 146, are designed to be rotationally symmetrical with respect to the connecting axis 216. For example, the contact surface 234 corresponding to the connection unit 124 is flat and, in particular, rotationally symmetrical with respect to the connection axis 216. Advantageously, the connecting section 132 is designed to be rotationally symmetrical, in particular with respect to the connecting axis 216.

In some favorable variants of the exemplary embodiment, at least one of the connecting units 124 is designed to be rotationally asymmetrical in such a way that the component 110 to be connected is only in exactly one or in a few, for example 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6, in particular less than 20, angular positions relative to the connecting unit 124 , in particular relative to the system body 212 and / or relative to the connecting element 252 and / or relative to the stop element 232 can be placed in the connecting state. In particular, the component 110, in particular its connecting section 132, acts in a form-fitting manner with at least At least one element of the connection unit 124 is positively connected with respect to rotation about the connection axis 216.

In particular, the component 110 to be connected and at least one element of the connection unit 124, which is preferably formed from the system body 212, have form-fitting segments which correspond to one another, the form-fitting of which blocks a rotation of the component 110 to be connected about the connection axis 216 relative to the connection unit 124.

For example, in some variants, the connecting opening 146 is in a cross section which runs at least approximately perpendicular to the direction in which it is continuously formed, which therefore in particular runs at least approximately perpendicular to the connecting axis 216, as a polygon, for example triangular and/or square and/or pentagonal and/or hexagonal, and the connecting element 252 has a corresponding outer contour at least in an area between the molded end 256 and the protruding part 262, which together with the connecting opening act as form-fitting segments in the connecting state.

For example, in some variants, a form-fitting segment 282 is designed as a projecting nose and a corresponding form-fitting segment 284 is designed as a recess into which the nose engages in a form-fitting manner during the form-fitting. For example, the nose is formed on the component 110 to be connected and the recess is formed in the stop element 232 as exemplified in 9 is shown, wherein the stop element 232 can also have the nose and the component 110 can have the recess and/or another element of the connecting unit, for example the connecting element 252, can have the nose or the recess.

For example, in some favorable variants both connection units 1241, 124II are at least essentially rotationally symmetrical. In other advantageous embodiments it is provided that both connection units 124I, 124II are designed to be rotationally asymmetrical.

In some favorable variants, the two connection units 124I and 124II are at least fundamentally constructed the same, for example with regard to at least some elements and in particular with regard to the preferably releasable fastening mechanism 272, so that both connection units 124I and 124II can be placed in a connecting state and a released state. However, in these variants it is provided that in some embodiments the connection units 124I and 124II differ.

In advantageous variants of this type, the connection units 124I and 124II have at least fundamentally identical elements, but differ in one different feature or some different features.

In some such variants, for example, it is provided that one of the connecting units 124 is designed to be rotationally symmetrical and the other of the connecting units 124 is designed to be rotationally asymmetrical.

In some advantageous variants of this type, both connecting units 124I and 124II are at least essentially rotationally symmetrical, but the two connecting units 124I and 124II, in particular a respective fastening mechanism 272, have a different release torque. In particular, it should be understood here that in order to release one connection unit, i.e. in particular in order to move it from the connecting state to the released state, a particularly noticeably greater force and/or a particularly noticeably greater torque is required than for releasing the other connection unit 124 and for example also for fastening, i.e. for moving from the loosened state to the connected state, with the connection unit 110 with the larger release torque requiring a larger, in particular noticeably larger, force and/or a particularly noticeably larger torque than with the connection unit with the smaller release moment.

For example, different torques are required for loosening and, for example, for tightening the fastening mechanisms 272 designed as screw connections. This is preferably achieved by different designs of the threads 276 on the respective holding elements 242, with a clamping segment being provided, for example, in the holding element 242 of the connecting unit with the larger release torque, whereby a larger moment, in particular a larger torque, is required to release the corresponding fastening mechanism 272 is.

The system body 212 is advantageously designed to be at least substantially symmetrical.

Conveniently, the fixing section 318 extends in a circumferential direction to the connecting axis 216 and/or at least approximately perpendicular to the extension direction 254 of the connecting element 252a.

In some variants of the exemplary embodiment, the connecting element 252a has the bayonet receptacle 312 and the holding element 242a has the bayonet fastening part 314.

It is particularly preferred if the connection unit 124a comprises a tensioning element 332 in order to conveniently keep the connection between the connected component 110 and the connection system 120a under prestress.

In particular, the clamping element 332 is arranged between the holding element 242 and the connected component 110.

In some variants, the clamping element 332 is a separate element.

In preferred variants, the clamping element 332 is captively connected to the holding element 242, for example molded and/or mounted on the holding element 242.

In other variants, the tensioning element 332 is arranged between the stop element 232 of the connection system 120 and the connecting component 110.

In some of these variants, the clamping element 332 is again a separate element.

In some advantageous variations of this variant, the clamping element 332 is captively connected to the stop element 232, for example molded and/or mounted on it.

For example, in some variants the tensioning element 332 is designed as a plate spring.

In some exemplary embodiments of an assembly 100b with a connection system 120b, the fastening mechanism 272b is designed as a snap-in connection mechanism in at least one connection unit 124b of the connection system 120b. Examples of variants of such exemplary embodiments are in the 11 until 13 shown.

In particular, the connection system 120b includes a system body 212b, which advantageously forms one or more elements of the connection system 120b.

For example, the latching connection is formed between a connecting element 252b and a holding element 242b of the connection system 120b, as exemplified in variants in FIGS 11 and 12 is shown.

In particular, the connecting element 252b is formed from the system body 212 and the holding element 242b is an element that is separated from the connecting element 252b at least in a released position.

In particular, the connecting element 252b has a latching part 342 or preferably several latching parts 342 on its part 262 which protrudes beyond the connected component 110, which latch with the holding element 242b in a connecting state.

In other variants of the exemplary embodiment, the holding element 242b has one or more locking parts 342, which lock with the connecting element 252b in the connecting state.

For example, in some variants at least one locking part 342 is formed onto the protruding part 262, as exemplified in a variant in 11 is shown.

In some variants, at least one locking part 342 is mounted movably, preferably resiliently, as exemplified in a variant in 12 is shown.

The connection system 120b advantageously comprises a tensioning element 332, in particular with one or more features which were explained in connection with the exemplary embodiment explained above.

For example, depending on the variant, the clamping element 332 is arranged between the holding element 242b and the connected component 110 or is arranged between the connected component 110 and a stop element 232. Depending on the variant, the clamping element 332 is a separate element or molded onto an element.

In other variants of a connection system 120b with at least one connection unit 124b, the fastening mechanism 272b of which is designed as a latching connection mechanism, a latching part 342 or several latching parts 342 are formed on a stop element 232 of the connection system 120b, as exemplified in 13 is shown.

In particular, the at least one latching part 342 extends away from the stop element 232, in particular a contact surface 234 thereof, in an extension direction 254.

In particular, the extension direction 254 runs at least approximately parallel to a normal direction 138 of the connected component 110 and preferably runs at least approximately parallel to the axial direction of the connection axis 216.

The connected component 110 has at least one connection opening 146, through which at least one locking part 342 extends.

The latching part 342 preferably has a latching head 344, which is accessible from the spatial access area of this connection unit 124b and via which the latching part 342 can be moved into a released position.

For example, in the connecting state, the locking head 344 rests against the edge region 152 of the connection opening 146, namely on one side of the connecting section, here for example on the side 134, which is the side of the connecting section, here for example the side 136, which is on the contact surface 234 is applied, is arranged opposite.

Preferably, the connected component 110 is also positioned by the at least one latching part, which extends through the at least one connecting opening 146, so that in this sense the at least one latching part 342 also a connecting element 252b positioning the component 110.

In particular, the at least one locking part 342 cannot withstand excessive loads, so that deviating from the variant which is exemplified in 13 is shown, in some favorable variants a force-transmitting, corresponding load-bearing and supporting connecting element is provided and designed.

In particular, the connecting component 110 is also held on the stop element 232 by the at least one latching part 342, so that in this respect the latching part 342 is also a holding element.

In this variant, a clamping element 332 is preferably provided, which is arranged, for example, in the connecting state between the connected component 110 and the stop element 232 and, depending on the variant, is, for example, a separate element or is preferably formed onto an element.

Preferably, the further exemplary embodiments explained above are designed, at least with regard to some features, like the exemplary embodiment explained first and/or one of the other further exemplary embodiments, so that reference is made in full to the explanations in connection with the other exemplary embodiments with regard to the further training.

In particular, in some variants of the exemplary embodiments it is provided that at least one further connection unit 124 is designed in the same way as in the corresponding exemplary embodiment, and in other variants at least one further connection unit is designed differently, for example as in another of the exemplary embodiments explained.

In other advantageous variants of the exemplary embodiments, the assembly 100 and in particular the connection system 120 has combinations of features from different exemplary embodiments that were explained above.

In particular, a structure and a mode of operation and, for example, advantages of the assembly 100 with a connection system 120 used therein are briefly summarized as follows.

Two components 110I and 110II to be connected are connected to each other in a fully connected state by the connection system 120. In a merely partially connected/detached state, one of the components 110 is in a connected state with the connection system 120 and the other of the components 110 is detached from the connection system 120 and the connected component 110. In a completely released state, the two components 110 are released from each other and from the connection system 120, i.e. separated from one another.

For connecting, the connection system 120 has two connection units 124I and 124II, which are advantageously at least largely formed by a common system body 212.

Conveniently, each of the connection units 124 has a fastening mechanism 272, through which the respective connection unit 124 can be moved from a connecting state to a released state and vice versa.

In particular, at least one connection unit 124 has a holding element 242, through which the component 110 to be connected is held in the connected state. For example, the holding element 242 holds a connecting section 132 of the component 110 to be connected between itself and a stop element 232.

Conveniently, at least one connection unit 124 has at least one connection element 252, wherein the connection element 252 positions the connection section 132 in the connecting state and/or acts to transmit force and/or hold loads during the connection and/or a connection in particular between the stop element 232 and the holding element 242 at least with training.

The stop element 232 and/or the connecting element 252 are preferably formed from the system body 212.

In particular, the holding element 242 has at least one released position.

For example, the holding element 242 is releasably fixed to the connecting element 252 in the connecting state by the fastening mechanism 272 and advantageously the connecting element 252 supports the holding element 242 so that it can hold the connecting section 132.

The connection units 124I and 124II are arranged on two different sides of the connection system 120 and so the two components 110 to be connected can also be connected to one another on two different sides.

In particular, the connection units 124 are each accessible from different room access areas 126.

Preferably, a respective fastening mechanism 272 is accessible from the respective spatial access area 126 of the corresponding connection unit 124 for fastening and/or releasing a component 110.

In particular, the stop element 232 is arranged between two space access areas 126.

In particular, the stop element 232 is arranged in the fully connected state between the two components 110 to be connected and, for example, the geometric connection plane 218 runs through the stop element 232.

This advantageously ensures that the connection system can be at least partially detached from only one side and a connected component 110 can be separated from the other component 110 and/or the connection system 120. Accordingly, it is also advantageously possible, if a component 110 of the connection system 120 is already connected, to connect the further component 110 to the connection system 120 and the already assembled component 110 without access to the access area of the other component 110 and/or the other connection unit 124 .

Advantageously, the connection system 120 remains at least largely, in particular the system body 212, connected and firmly mounted to a component 110 held in a connecting state, even if the other component 110 is in the detached state from the interconnected component 110 by displacing the other connection unit 124 and connection system 120 is separated, so that at least most of the elements of the connection system 120 continue to remain captively on the still connected component 110.

In favorable variants, at least one element of a connection unit 124 is additionally held, in particular secured against rotation, with the component 110 to be connected by means of positive connection, in particular by corresponding interlocking form-fitting segments, so that when the other connection unit 124 is loosened, in particular when loosened, for example as a screw connection trained fastening mechanism 272 required rotation, the risk of at least a slight loosening of a connecting unit, which should remain in the connecting state, is at least reduced or even a loosening of the same is completely blocked.

In some favorable variants of the exemplary embodiment, the connection units 124 are at least essentially the same design, which advantageously simplifies assembly, since there is no need to pay attention to the correct orientation of the connection system 120, in particular the system body 212, and/or the assembly becomes less prone to errors, since swapping the two connection units 124 when assembling the connection system 120 is not a source of error due to their at least essentially the same design.

In some favorable variants of the exemplary embodiment, the connection units 124 are different in at least one feature, the at least one different feature being particularly important for the functioning of the connection units 124. In particular, in such variants, the different connection units 124 have a different release torque.

In particular, it can be achieved that when the two components 110 are mounted together in the fully connected state, that component 110 which is connected by the connection unit 124 provided with the lower release torque can be released and since the other connection unit 124 has a larger release torque has, the risk that when one component is loosened, the connecting unit with the larger loosening torque is also at least slightly loosened, is at least reduced.

It is particularly favorable if the assembly is part of a body 410, which is shown in, for example 14 is shown.

In particular, the body 410 includes several support parts for its body skeleton.

In particular, the body 410 defines an interior 414 for the passenger cell with a cockpit area 416, which is arranged in the front area of the interior 414 with respect to a vehicle longitudinal axis 422.

In particular, the body 410 defines a front area 424, which is arranged at the front in relation to the vehicle longitudinal axis 422. For example, an engine compartment is formed in the front area 424 in vehicles with a front-wheel drive.

In particular, the body 410 defines a rear area 426 at the rear relative to the vehicle longitudinal axis 452.

In particular, the body 410 includes in the rear area 426 a rear support structure 428, which is formed in particular from support parts.

In particular, the body 410 in the area of the interior 414 includes a body substructure and a roof support structure 434 in a lower area, which are formed in particular from support parts.

In particular, the body 410 includes in the front area 424 a front support structure 442, which is formed in particular from support parts.

For example, the front support structure 442 includes a transverse front end support 444 arranged at least at a front end, which is laterally connected to a longitudinal support 446I and 446II in the front end region. The longitudinal beams 446I and 446II are connected in a transition area from the front area 424 to the area with the interior 414 directly or indirectly via at least one support part to the body substructure 432 and/or the roof support structure 434. For example, a respective longitudinal beam 446 is connected to an A-pillar beam 448.

In particular, the body 410 includes a cockpit cross member part 452, which is designed to extend elongated and is arranged transversely in the body 410, with the front area 424 in front of the cockpit cross member part 452 and the interior 414 behind the cockpit relative to the vehicle longitudinal axis 422. Cross member part 452 are arranged.

For example, the cockpit cross member 452 is connected at a respective end to a corresponding longitudinal member 446 and/or a corresponding A-pillar member 448.

In particular, a component 110 or both components 110 of the assembly 100 is a support part of the body 410.

In particularly advantageous variants, a component 110 is the cockpit cross member part 452.

The use of the connection system 120 is particularly advantageous in such an assembly 110, since connecting and assembling different support parts in different situations from different sides is particularly convenient.

For example, the assembly and tightening of a connection when assembling the body 410, for example from the front area 424 or in variants from the rear area 426, is inexpensively possible, but in the finished state of the vehicle, for example in a service case for maintenance, accessibility is better from the interior 414 given.

Loosening and/or tightening from different sides can be carried out particularly cheaply with the connection system 120 according to the invention.

In particularly advantageous methods for producing a body, in particular a vehicle, the connection system 120 is pre-assembled with a component 110, i.e. in particular the component is mounted in a connecting state with a connection unit 124, and in a later manufacturing step a further component 110 is also mounted with the connection system 120 connected and in particular the fully connected state is created.

In the case of variants with two connection units 124, which differ in at least one feature, it is particularly advantageous if they differ in a feature of an element which is assembled in the two different manufacturing steps.

It is particularly advantageous if these differ in a feature of an element that is separated from the system body 212 in a released position, for example the holding element 242.

This is advantageous because these elements are assembled in the two different manufacturing steps and are therefore kept ready at different assembly stations, so that the risk of mixing up the elements during assembly is at least reduced or even eliminated.

In particular, in such variants it is provided that the respective connection units 124 have a different release torque due to the different design of this element, in particular the holding element 242.
