Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Stoßfänger mit mindestens einem Lufteinlass für ein Kraftfahrzeug.The The invention relates to a bumper having at least one air inlet for a Motor vehicle.
Stoßfänger der vorstehenden Art sind bei heutigen Kraftfahrzeugen bekannt und gebräuchlich. Sie bestehen üblicherweise aus Kunststoff und tragen zum Erscheinungsbild des Kraftfahrzeugs wesentlich bei. Es besteht vielfach der Wunsch, für unterschiedliche Modelle eines Fahrzeugtyps unterschiedlich aussehende Stoßfänger zu verwenden. Oftmals ist es bei unterschiedlichen Motoren auch erforderlich, unterschiedlich große Lufteinlässe oder mehrere Lufteinlässe an verschiedenen Stellen vorzusehen. Derzeit weisen Frontstoßfänger meist einen relativ großen zentralen Lufteinlass und zwei weiter seitlich liegende, kleinere Lufteinlässe auf. Die Entwicklung und das Bereithalten unterschiedlicher Stoßfänger für unterschiedliche Fahrzeugtypen bedingt jedoch unerwünscht hohe Kosten.Bumper the above type are known and used in today's motor vehicles. she usually exist made of plastic and contribute to the appearance of the motor vehicle essential in. There is often a desire for different Models of a vehicle type different-looking bumper too use. Often it is also necessary with different engines different sizes air intakes or more air inlets to be provided in different places. At present, front bumpers usually have a relatively large one central air intake and two more lateral, smaller ones air intakes on. The development and the provision of different bumpers for different Vehicle types, however, requires undesirably high costs.
Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen Stoßfänger der eingangs genannten Art so zu gestalten, dass sein Erscheinungsbild in einem möglichst großen Maße veränderbar ist, ohne dass hierdurch hohe Kosten entstehen.Of the Invention is based on the problem, a bumper of the aforementioned To style it so that its appearance in as much as possible huge Dimensions changeable is, without resulting in high costs.
Zur Lösung des Problems sieht die Erfindung vor, dass der Stoßfänger aus einem zum Befestigen an der Fahrzeugstruktur ausgebildeten Grundkörper und einem am Grundkörper befestigten Lufteinlasskörper besteht, welcher einen sich bis an die Unterkante des Stoßfängers erstreckenden Lufteinlass aufweist.to solution of the problem, the invention provides that the bumper a body adapted to be fastened to the vehicle structure and one on the main body attached air intake body consisting of which extends up to the lower edge of the bumper Having air inlet.
Bei einem solchen Stoßfänger kann man einen stets unveränderten Grundkörper an sämtlichen Typen des vorgesehenen Kraftfahrzeugs befestigen. Das Aussehen des jeweiligen Kraftfahrzeugtyps wird anschließend durch die Verwendung eines auf ihn abgestimmten Lufteinlasskörpers bestimmt. Dabei kann man nicht nur Designwünsche berücksichtigen, sondern auch den Lufteinlass entsprechend der erforderlichen Kühlluftmenge für das Kraftfahrzeug bemessen. Der erfindungsgemäße Aufbau eines Stoßfängers ermöglicht es weiterhin, bei unterschiedlich langen Fahrzeugen, beispielsweise bei einer Fahrzeugverlängerung zum Zwecke des Fußgängerschutzes, eine ausreichende Bodenfreiheit sicherzustellen, da sich der Lufteinlass bis an die Unterkante des Stoßfängers erstreckt und somit die bisher übliche Wandung des Grundkörpers zum Boden im Bereich des Lufteinlasskörpers entfällt.at such a bumper can one always unchanged body on all types fasten the proposed motor vehicle. The appearance of each Motor vehicle type is subsequently determined by the use of an air inlet body tuned to it. You can not only design wishes consider, but also the air inlet according to the required amount of cooling air for the Vehicle dimensioned. The construction according to the invention of a bumper makes it possible furthermore, in vehicles of different lengths, for example at a vehicle extension for the purpose of pedestrian protection, ensure adequate ground clearance, as the air intake extends to the lower edge of the bumper and thus the usual Wall of the main body to the bottom in the region of the air inlet body deleted.
Ferner erhält man hierdurch eine besonders große Luftöffnung, wobei zusätzlich die Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für die Anordnung der Gitterstäbe vergrößert werden.Further receives This makes a particularly large air opening, in addition to the design options for the Arrangement of the bars be enlarged.
Vorteilhafterweise weist der Lufteinlass horizontale und/oder vertikale Gitterstäbe oder eine Wabenstruktur auf.advantageously, the air inlet has horizontal and / or vertical bars or a honeycomb structure.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung der Lufteinlasskörper im un teren Bereich als Aufnahme für Zusatzteile ausgebildet ist. Die Zusatzteile können an dem nicht in Fahrzeugfarbe lackierten Teil unauffällig angebunden werden.Especially it is advantageous if, according to a Further development of the invention, the air intake body in un direct range as Recording for Additional parts is formed. The additional parts can not on the vehicle in color painted part inconspicuous be connected.
Günstig ist es auch, wenn dass der Lufteinlass an seiner Unterseite durch einen Gitterstab begrenzt ist und dass dieser Gitterstab als Aufnahme für die an den Stoßfänger anzubauenden Zusatzteile ausgebildet ist. Durch diese Gestaltung erhalten die Gitterstäbe eine Doppelfunktion. Sie dienen nicht nur dem Design des Kraftfahrzeugs und verhindern nicht nur das Eindringen von größeren Fremdkörpern in den Motorraum, vielmehr bilden sie zugleich zumindest einen Befestigungssteg oder Halteflansch. Dadurch können Zusatzteile an einem Gitterstab befestigt werden, so dass an dem Stoßfänger keine separaten Befestigungskörper vorgesehen werden müssen, die optisch stören würden, wenn an ihnen kein Zusatzteil befestigt ist.Cheap is it also, if that the air inlet at its underside by a Grid is limited and that this grid as a receptacle for the to grow the bumper Additional parts is formed. By this design, the bars get a Dual function. They not only serve the design of the motor vehicle and not only prevent the penetration of larger foreign bodies in the Engine compartment, but at the same time they form at least one fastening web or retaining flange. Thereby can Additional parts are attached to a grid bar, so that on the Bumper none separate attachment body must be provided the optically disturbing would if no additional part is attached to them.
Vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn zumindest einer der Gitterstäbe des Lufteinlasses als Verstärkungsrippe für den Stoßfänger ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch erhält der Stoßfänger eine hohe Festigkeit, ohne dass er in seiner Außenhaut separate Verstärkungsrippen aufweisen muss, die als Materialvertiefungen optisch störend in Erscheinung treten würden. Die Ausbildung der Gitterstäbe als Verstärkungsrippen kann derart sein, dass dadurch zugleich eventuelle Anforderungen aus dem Bereich Fußgängerschutz erfüllt werden können. Durch das ganz heruntergezogene Gitter entfällt auch der derzeit übliche untere Steg des Grundkörpers des Stoßfängers und kann für eine Fahrzeugverlängerung zur verbesserten Erfüllung der Anforderungen aus dem Bereich des Fußgängerschutzes dienen.Advantageous it is also when at least one of the grille bars of the air inlet as a reinforcing rib for the Bumpers trained is. This preserves the bumper one high strength without having separate reinforcing ribs in its outer skin must have, as the material wells visually disturbing in Appearance would occur. The formation of the bars as reinforcing ribs can be such that thereby at the same time possible requirements the field of pedestrian protection can. Due to the very low grid also eliminates the currently common lower bridge of the basic body of the bumper and can for a vehicle extension for improved fulfillment serve the requirements of pedestrian protection.
