The outer shell is a tough, scratch-resistant, glass-like transparent body that transfers shock energy quasi-absorptionlessly to the stiffening element(s).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Stoßfänger für Kraftfahrzeuge der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Gattung.The invention relates to a bumper for motor vehicles the genus specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einem bekannten Stoßfänger dieser Art (DE 31 38 167 C2) ist die transparente, äußere Schale des Stoßfängers aus einem schlagzähen Thermoplast, z. B. Polycarbonat oder Polyacrylat, hergestellt und stellt das stoßaufnehmende Bauelement selbst dar. Im Schutze dieser stoßaufnehmenden Außenschale sind alle Leuchtenelemente, wie Scheinwerfer, Blinker etc. angeordnet.In a known bumper of this type (DE 31 38 167 C2) is the transparent, outer shell of the bumper from one impact-resistant thermoplastic, e.g. B. polycarbonate or polyacrylate, manufactured and provides the shock absorbing component itself Under the protection of this shock-absorbing outer shell are all Luminaire elements such as headlights, turn signals etc. arranged.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Stoßfänger der eingangs genannten Art als transparenten Leuchtkörper so auszubilden, daß er als optisch ansprechendes Bauteil und stilistisches Gestaltungselement eingesetzt werden kann.The invention has for its object a bumper of the type mentioned above as a transparent lamp train that it is a visually appealing component and stylistic design element can be used.

Die Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The object of the invention is through the features of Claim 1 solved.

Der erfindungsgemäße Stoßfänger hat den Vorteil, daß der Durchlichtkörper Stoßenergie nicht nennenswert aufnimmt, sondern unmittelbar an das mindestens eine Versteifungselement weiterleitet und Schlag- und damit Krafteinwirkungen beschädigungslos übersteht und langzeitstabil ist, so daß er ausschließlich nach gestalterischen Gesichtspunkten festgelegt werden kann und keine stilistischen Kompromisse wie bei stoßenergieabsorbierenden Bauteilen eingegangen werden müssen.The bumper of the invention has the advantage that the Transmitted light body does not significantly absorb impact energy, but directly to the at least one Stiffening element passes on and impact and thus Withstands force without damage and is long-term stable, so that it only after design aspects can be determined and  no stylistic compromises as with impact energy absorbing components have to.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Stoßfängers mit zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Patentansprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention Bumper with practical designs and Further developments of the invention result from the others Claims.

Die Erfindung ist anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen jeweils in schematischer Darstellung:The invention is illustrated in the drawing Embodiments described in more detail below. It each show in a schematic representation:

Fig. 1 ausschnittweise eine Seitenansicht einer Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie im Frontbereich, Fig. 1 is a fragmentary side view of a motor vehicle body in the front region,

Fig. 2 und 3 jeweils ausschnittweise einen Längsschnitt einer Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie im Frontbereich gemäß zweier modifizierter Ausführungsbeispiele. Fig. 2 and 3 are fragmentary shows a longitudinal section of a vehicle body in the front region according to two modified embodiments.

Wie in Fig. 1-3 schematisch dargestellt ist, weist das Kraftfahrzeug eine Tragstruktur 10 mit zwei Längsträgern 11 und einem diese verbindenden Querträger 12 sowie eine Karosserie 13 auf, die u. a. auch die Tragstruktur 10 überdeckt. Der Frontbereich der Karosserie 13 wird von einem breiten Stoßfänger 14 überzogen, der etwas oberhalb der Frontschürze 15 der Karosserie angeordnet ist. Der Stoßfänger 14 weist eine transparente Außenschale 16 auf, die sich über ein längsdurchgehendes Versteifungselement 17 oder eine Mehrzahl von beabstandeten Versteifungselementen (Fig. 2 und 3) direkt oder über eine rückwärtige Schale 23 an der Tragstruktur 10, hier an deren Querträger 12, abstützt. Die Außenschale 16 ist als ein hartzäher, kratzfester, glasartiger Durchlichtkörper ausgebildet, der Stoßenergie quasi absorptionslos auf das Versteifungselement 17 und über dieses in die Tragstruktur 10 einleitet. Der Durchlichtkörper ist UV-lichtbeständig, hitzebeständig und unempfindlich gegen Steinschlag. Für eine stoßabsorbierende Wirkung, die zumindest bei Bagatelleschäden eine Deformierung der Tragstruktur 10 vermeiden hilft, ist zwischen dem Versteifungselement 17 und dem Querträger 12 der Tragstruktur 10 mindestens ein energieabsorbierende Dämpfungsglied 18 angeordnet. Alternativ kann auf das oder die Dämpfungsglieder 18 verzichtet werden und das Versteifungselement 17 bzw. die Versteifungselemente selbst energieabsorbierend ausgeführt werden.As shown schematically in FIGS. 1-3, the motor vehicle has a support structure 10 with two side members 11 and a cross member 12 connecting them, as well as a body 13 , which also covers the support structure 10 , among other things. The front area of the body 13 is covered by a wide bumper 14 which is arranged somewhat above the front apron 15 of the body. The bumper 14 has a transparent outer shell 16 , which is supported directly or via a rear shell 23 on the support structure 10 , here on its cross member 12 , via a longitudinal stiffening element 17 or a plurality of spaced stiffening elements ( FIGS. 2 and 3). The outer shell 16 is designed as a tough, scratch-resistant, glass-like transmitted light body, which introduces impact energy onto the stiffening element 17 and via this into the support structure 10 virtually without absorption. The transmitted light body is UV-resistant, heat-resistant and insensitive to stone chips. For a shock-absorbing effect, which helps to prevent deformation of the support structure 10 , at least in the case of minor damage, at least one energy-absorbing damping member 18 is arranged between the stiffening element 17 and the cross member 12 of the support structure 10 . Alternatively, the damping element or elements 18 can be dispensed with and the stiffening element 17 or the stiffening elements themselves can be designed to absorb energy.

Hinter der Außenschale 16 sind alle oder ein Teil der Leuchtenelemente des Fahrzeugs angeordnet, so die Standlichtleuchten oder Blinkleuchten 19 (Fig. 1) und/oder die Hauptscheinwerfer 20 und/oder Nebelscheinwerfer 21 (Fig. 2). Die Leuchtenelemente 19-21 sind an einer nachgiebigen Halterung so aufgehängt, daß sie bei Frontalstoß auf die Außenschale 16 des Stoßfängers 14 beim energieabsorbierenden Verformen der Versteifungselements 17 oder des Dämpfungsgliedes 18 beschädigungslos ausweichen können. Die hier nicht dargestellten Halterungen für die Leuchtenelemente 19-21 sind vorzugsweise an der Außenschale 16 befestigt und so ausgebildet, daß sie der Kollisionskraft nur so große Widerstände bieten, daß die Leuchtenelemente 19-21 bei Bagatellekollisionen nicht beschädigt werden. Bei Kollisionseinwirkung auf den Stoßfänger 14 weichen die Leuchtenelemente 20, 21 in Richtung der Pfeile 22 aus, und das Versteifungselement 17 tritt relativ zu den Leuchtenelementen 19, 20, 21 nach vorne und nimmt direkt die Stoßenergie von der Außenschale 16 auf, um sie über das Dämpfungsglied 18 reduziert auf die das Dämpfungsglied 18 aufnehmende, rückwärtige Schale 23 des Stoßfängers 14 zu übertragen, die an dem Querträger 12 befestigt ist und somit die vom Dämpfungsglied 18 nicht absorbierte Stoßenergie in die Tragstruktur 10 einleitet. Wird auf die Halterung zum Ausweichen der Leuchtenelemente 20, 21 verzichtet, so nehmen die Versteifungselemente 17 die Kollisionskraft mittelbar über die Leuchtenelemente 20, 21 auf und leiten sie über das Dämpfungsglied 18 in die Tragstruktur 10.All or part of the lamp elements of the vehicle are arranged behind the outer shell 16 , such as the parking light lamps or turn signal lamps 19 ( FIG. 1) and / or the main headlights 20 and / or fog lamps 21 ( FIG. 2). The lamp elements 19-21 are suspended on a flexible holder so that they can avoid damage in the event of a frontal impact on the outer shell 16 of the bumper 14 during energy-absorbing deformation of the stiffening element 17 or the damping member 18 . The brackets for the lamp elements 19-21 , not shown here, are preferably fastened to the outer shell 16 and are designed such that they only offer such great resistance to the collision force that the lamp elements 19-21 are not damaged in minor collisions. In the event of a collision on the bumper 14 , the lamp elements 20 , 21 deflect in the direction of the arrows 22 , and the stiffening element 17 comes forward in relation to the lamp elements 19 , 20 , 21 and directly absorbs the impact energy from the outer shell 16 in order to use it Attenuator 18 is reduced to the rear shell 23 of the bumper 14 receiving the attenuator 18 , which is attached to the cross member 12 and thus introduces the shock energy not absorbed by the attenuator 18 into the support structure 10 . If the holder for evading the lamp elements 20 , 21 is dispensed with, the stiffening elements 17 absorb the collision force indirectly via the lamp elements 20 , 21 and guide them via the damping member 18 into the supporting structure 10 .

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 3 ist auf eine ausweichende Halterung für das Leuchtenelement 20 verzichtet, da das Versteifungselement 17 direkt an der Außenschale 16 anliegt. Auch hier ist das Versteifungselement 16 an dem energieabsorbierenden Dämpfungsglied 18 abgestützt, das in der am Querträger 12 befestigten, rückwärtigen Schale 23 des Stoßfängers 14 aufgenommen ist.In the embodiment of FIG. 3, an evasive holder for the lamp element 20 is dispensed with, since the stiffening element 17 bears directly on the outer shell 16 . Here, too, the stiffening element 16 is supported on the energy-absorbing damping member 18 , which is received in the rear shell 23 of the bumper 14 fastened to the cross member 12 .

Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, ist zusätzlich die kratzfeste Oberfläche der als Durchlichtkörper ausgebildete Außenschale 16 des Stoßfängers 14 mit erhabenen Kratzschutzelementen versehen. Diese Kratzschutzelemente, die als Noppen 24 oder Rippen 25 ausgebildet sein können und in stilistisch ansprechender Geometrie angeordnet sind, entfallen im Bereich der Leuchtenelemente, so daß der gerichtete Lichtaustritt der Leuchtenelemente nicht gestört wird. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 sind die Hauptscheinwerfer 20 außerhalb des Stoßfängers 14 angeordnet, und nur die Blinkleuchten 19 und die hier nicht dargestellten Seitenleuchten für Kurvenausleuchtung oder Nebelscheinwerfer 21 (Fig. 2) sind hinter der transparenten Außenschale 16 des Stoßfängers 14 plaziert. Die Außenschale 16 kann abschnittweise oder vollständig eingefärbt oder farblich getönt und die Lichtdurchtrittsflächen matt oder klar gestaltet werden, so daß die Lichtsingalfarbe dadurch nicht beeinträchtigt wird. Beispielsweise kann die Außenschale 16 in der Wagenfarbe gehalten und das Noppen- und/oder Rippenmuster weiß herausgehoben sein.As shown in FIG. 1, the scratch-resistant surface of the outer shell 16 of the bumper 14, which is designed as a transmitted light body, is additionally provided with raised scratch protection elements. These scratch protection elements, which can be designed as knobs 24 or ribs 25 and are arranged in a stylistically appealing geometry, are omitted in the area of the lamp elements, so that the directional light emission of the lamp elements is not disturbed. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the main headlights 20 are arranged outside the bumper 14 , and only the turn signals 19 and the side lights (not shown here) for corner illumination or fog lights 21 ( FIG. 2) are placed behind the transparent outer shell 16 of the bumper 14 . The outer shell 16 can be partially or completely colored or tinted in color and the light transmission surfaces can be made matt or clear, so that the light signal color is not impaired thereby. For example, the outer shell 16 can be kept in the body color and the knob and / or rib pattern can be highlighted in white.

Der erfindungsgemäße Stoßfänge kann auch am Heck, ggf. mit einer anderen Formgebung, verwendet werden. In diesem Fall werden hinter der transparenten Außenschale 16 Blinkleuchten, Bremsleuchten, Rückfahrscheinwerfer und/oder Nebelschlußlichter als Leuchtenelemente angeordnet.The bumper according to the invention can also be used at the rear, possibly with a different shape. In this case, 16 flashing lights, brake lights, reversing lights and / or rear fog lights are arranged as light elements behind the transparent outer shell.
