Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Luftklappe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This task is solved by an air damper with the characteristics of Claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß besteht die Trägerstruktur als aus über Stege miteinander verbundenen Rippen, wobei die Trägerstruktur von dem schaumartigen Ma terial vollständig umspritzt ist und die größte Breitenausdehnung der einzel nen Rippen und Stege senkrecht zur Längserstreckung der Luftklappe ver läuft. Dadurch ist die Trägerstruktur auf minimalstes Gewicht reduziert, so daß die Luftklappe ein entsprechend geringes Gewicht aufweist. Da die größte Breitenausdehnung der einzelnen Rippen und Stege senkrecht zur Längserstreckung der Luftklappe verläuft, so daß die Stege und Rippen in der Ebene der Luftklappe gesehen quasi hochkant stehend ausgebildet sind, sind die zwischen den Stegen und Rippen gebildeten Öffnungen der Trä gerstruktur maximal groß, so daß das um die Trägerstruktur umspritzte, schaumartige Material fest mit der Trägerstruktur verbunden ist. Da die Trä gerstruktur nicht aus einer Platte, sondern aus einzelnen hochkant angeord neten Stegen und Rippen besteht, kann der erfindungsgemäßen Luftklappe in vorteilhafterweise eine dreidimensionale Struktur gegeben werden, die derart ausgebildet sein kann, daß die Luftklappe eine aerodynamische Form erhält, so daß Geräusche, die bei der Umlenkung von Luft an der Luftklappe auftreten, reduziert sind.According to the invention, the carrier structure consists of one another via webs connected ribs, the support structure of the foam-like Ma material is completely overmoulded and the largest width extension of the individual Ver ribs and webs perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the air flap running. As a result, the support structure is reduced to a minimum weight, so that the air flap has a correspondingly low weight. Since the greatest width of the individual ribs and webs perpendicular to Longitudinal extension of the air flap runs so that the webs and ribs in seen from the level of the air flap are standing upright, are the openings of the Trä formed between the webs and ribs maximum structure, so that the extrusion-coated around the support structure foam-like material is firmly connected to the support structure. Since the Trä The frame structure is not made from a single plate, but from individual upright arrangements Neten webs and ribs, the air damper according to the invention advantageously be given a three-dimensional structure that can be designed such that the air flap has an aerodynamic shape receives so that noises when the air is deflected at the air flap occur are reduced.
Insgesamt ist damit eine geräuscharme, aerodynamische, feste und form stabile Luftklappe mit einem minimalen Gewicht erhalten.Overall, this is a low-noise, aerodynamic, firm and form stable air flap with a minimal weight.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Luftklappe in einem einzigen Zweikomponenten- Spritzgußverfahren herstellbar, wobei in einer ersten Stufe die Trägerstruk tur, vorzugsweise aus Polypropylen und in einer zweiten Stufe das schaumartige Material, vorzugsweise ein Partikelschaumstoff wie Polystyrol oder expandiertes Polypropylen (EPP), gespritzt wird.The air flap is advantageously in a single two-component Injection molding process can be produced, the support structure in a first stage structure, preferably made of polypropylene and in a second stage foam-like material, preferably a particle foam such as polystyrene or expanded polypropylene (EPP).
