Abstract

The control panel component is composed of a carrier plate (11) and a moulded body fixed to it, consisting of foam material (9) covered by a skin (10). The skin and the foam material belong to the same group of materials. The moulded body is mounted on the carrier plate so that it can be released from it. The moulded body may have projection (12) on the side facing the carrier plate, which pass through recess (13) in the carrier plate positively or non-positively. The projections may clip onto the edge zones of the recesses.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bauteil entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a component according to the preamble of claim 1.

Zwar ist in erster Linie an ein Bauteil für eine Fahrzeug­ schalttafel (Armaturenbrett) gedacht, doch soll sich die Erfin­ dung auch auf andere Anwendungsfälle erstrecken. So können zum Beispiel - auch im Automobilbau - Armlehnen in der gleichen Art aufgebaut sein.It is primarily a component for a vehicle dashboard (dashboard) thought, but the inventor should extend to other applications. So for Example - also in automotive engineering - armrests of the same type be constructed.

Es sind Schalttafelkörper bekannt, die aus einem gespritzten Polypropylen-Träger (PP), einer unlösbar damit verbundenen Schicht aus Polyurethanschaum (PUR) und einer wiederum fest mit dem Schaum verbundenen Haut aus PVC-ABS bestehen. Solchermaßen aufgebaute, zu einer Einheit zusammengefaßte Teile haben sich in millionenfacher Anwendung bewährt, weil sie die in der Ver­ gangenheit an sie gestellten Forderungen in vielerlei Hinsicht gut erfüllen. In neuerer Zeit kommt jedoch eine weitere Forde­ rung hinzu, nämlich die einer mit wirtschaftlich vertretbarem Aufwand durchzuführenden Wiederaufbereitung (Recycling) eines Bauteils, wenn es seinem ursprünglichen Gebrauchszweck nicht mehr nachkommen kann. Ein Verbund aus PP, PUR und PVC-ABS ist jedoch für Recycling ungeeignet.Panel bodies are known which are made from an injection molded part Polypropylene carrier (PP), an inextricably linked Layer of polyurethane foam (PUR) and one in turn firmly the foam-bonded skin consist of PVC-ABS. In such a way built-up parts combined into one unit have Proven in millions of applications because they are the ones used in ver past demands in many ways meet well. In recent times, however, there is another demand tion, namely the one with economically justifiable Effort to be reprocessed (recycling) a Component if it is not its original use can meet more. It is a composite of PP, PUR and PVC-ABS however unsuitable for recycling.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gattungs­ gemäßes Bauteil dahingehend zu verbessern, daß es problemlos recyclebar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Damit kann der Form­ körper also leicht von der Trägerplatte, die nicht unbedingt aus Kunststoff bestehen muß, sondern statt dessen aus einem Holzfaserstoff oder einem metallischen Werkstoff aufgebaut sein kann, entfernt und im Stück wieder aufbereitet werden. - Vor­ teilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The invention is therefore based on the object, a genus to improve the appropriate component so that it is easy is recyclable. This task comes with the distinctive  Features of claim 1 solved. This allows the shape body so easily from the backing plate, which is not necessarily must consist of plastic, but instead of one Wood fiber or a metallic material can be removed and reprocessed in one piece. - Before partial embodiments of the invention are the subject of Subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung nachfolgend näher erläutert. Sie zeigt einen Vertikalschnitt durch das Cockpit eines Kraftfahrzeuges, und zwar im Bereich eines auf der Beifahrerseite angeordneten, vielfach als Hand­ schuhkasten bezeichneten Ablagefaches.An embodiment of the invention is based on the drawing explained in more detail below. It shows a vertical section through the cockpit of a motor vehicle, in the area one arranged on the passenger side, often as a hand designated storage compartment.

Das Cockpit wird im wesentlichen gehalten von einem eigens dafür vorgesehenen Querträger 1, der angeformte Halteflansche 2, 3 aufweist. In Fahrtrichtung vor dem Cockpit befinden sich die Windschutzscheibe 4 und ein Karosserieträger 5, unterhalb dessen ein Heizgerät 6 eingebaut ist. Ein wesentlicher Bestand­ teil des Cockpits ist der Schalttafelkörper 7, der quasi das Cockpit zum Fahrgastraum hin abschließt. Der Schalttafelkörper 7 besteht aus einem Formkörper 8, der seinerseits von einem Schaumkissen 9 und einer dieses nach außen hin abdeckenden Haut 10 gebildet ist. Die Haut 10 ist vollflächig mit dem Schaum­ kissen 9 verbunden. Einerlei, ob die Haut 10 als separates Teil beim Fertigen des Schaumkissens 9 in die Form gelegt wird oder ob sie ein Ergebnis des Schäumprozesses ist, wichtig ist, daß das Schaumkissen 9 und die Haut 10 der gleichen Werkstoffamilie angehören, daß also der Formkörper 8 materialeinheitlich ist, so daß keine Trennung beim Wiederaufbereiten vorgenommen werden muß.The cockpit is essentially held by a specially provided cross member 1 , which has molded-on holding flanges 2 , 3 . In the direction of travel in front of the cockpit are the windshield 4 and a body support 5 , below which a heater 6 is installed. An essential part of the cockpit is the dashboard body 7 , which quasi closes the cockpit to the passenger compartment. The control panel body 7 consists of a molded body 8 , which in turn is formed by a foam cushion 9 and a skin 10 covering this outwards. The skin 10 is fully connected to the foam pillow 9 . Regardless of whether the skin 10 is placed in the mold as a separate part in the manufacture of the foam cushion 9 or whether it is a result of the foaming process, it is important that the foam cushion 9 and the skin 10 belong to the same family of materials, that is to say the molded body 8 is of the same material is so that no separation has to be made during reprocessing.

Der Schalttafelkörper 7 ist lösbar auf einer zumindest am Quer­ träger 1 (am Halteflansch 2) gehaltenen metallischen Träger­ platte 11 befestigt. Im Ausführungsbeispiel sind dazu hinter­ schnittene Vorsprünge 12 an dem Formkörper 8 vorgesehen, die clipsartig in zugeordnete Aussparungen 13 in der Trägerplatte 11 eingreifen. Damit ist eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwi­ schen dem Formkörper 8 und der Trägerplatte 11 geschaffen, die im Bedarfsfalle leicht gelöst werden kann. Ein solcher Bedarfs­ fall tritt spätestens dann auf, wenn das nicht mehr betriebs­ bereite Fahrzeug einer weitestmöglichen Wiederverwertung zugeführt werden soll, wozu zunächst eine Trennung nicht materialeinheitlicher Teile vorgenommen werden muß. Im vor­ liegenden Fall können also der Formkörper 8 und die aus Festigkeitsgründen in Metall ausgeführte Trägerplatte 11 ein­ fach voneinander gelöst und der materialindividuellen weiteren Aufbereitung zugeführt werden.The control panel body 7 is releasably attached to a plate 11 held at least on the cross member 1 (on the holding flange 2 ). For this purpose, in the exemplary embodiment, cut projections 12 are provided on the molded body 8 , which engage like clips in associated recesses 13 in the carrier plate 11 . This creates a positive connection between the molded body 8 and the carrier plate 11 , which can be easily solved if necessary. Such a need occurs at the latest when the vehicle is no longer ready for operation to be recycled as far as possible, for which purpose a separation of non-material parts must first be made. In the present case, the molded body 8 and the carrier plate 11, which is made of metal for strength reasons, can be easily separated from one another and fed to the material-specific further processing.

Lediglich ergänzend sei noch bemerkt, daß das Cockpit in dem dargestellten Schnitt außer den bereits erwähnten Komponenten noch zwei Luftkanäle 14, 15, ein Airbagmodul 16 und eine Air­ bagabdeckung 17 sowie einen Handschuhkasten 18 und einen zugehörigen Deckel 19 enthält. Eine sich an den unteren Teil des Schalttafelkörpers 7 anschließende Abschottung 20 trennt den vorderen Fußraum vom darüberliegenden Heizgerät 6.In addition, it should be noted that the cockpit in the section shown contains, in addition to the components already mentioned, two air channels 14 , 15 , an airbag module 16 and an airbag cover 17 as well as a glove box 18 and an associated cover 19 . A partition 20 adjoining the lower part of the control panel body 7 separates the front footwell from the heater 6 located above it.
