Abstract

The invention relates to a dashboard for a vehicle. For the purpose of weight reduction and, in particular, better recycling, it is proposed to produce the dashboard from polypropylene foam without any reinforcers. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine unter Verwendung von Schaumstoff her­ gestellte Schalttafel für ein Fahrzeug.The invention relates to a using foam provided control panel for a vehicle.

Bekannt ist eine Schalttafel, die aus einem formstabilen Grund­ träger beispielsweise aus Blech und einer darauf aufgebrachten Schaumschicht aus Polyurethan besteht. Eine solche Schalttafel kann generell nur in mehreren Arbeitsgängen hergestellt werden. Infolge der zwangsweisen Verwendung des Grundträgers ist sie re­ lativ schwer. Auch unter Gesichtspunkten des Umweltschutzes weist die bekannte Schalttafel Nachteile auf. So erfordert die Herstel­ lung von Polyurethanschaum den Zusatz eines Treibmittels, und schließlich ist eine solche Schalttafel grundsätzlich nur bedingt recycelfähig.A control panel is known for a dimensionally stable reason Carrier made of sheet metal, for example, and one attached to it Foam layer made of polyurethane. Such a control panel can generally only be produced in several operations. As a result of the compulsory use of the basic carrier, it is right relatively difficult. Also points out from an environmental point of view the known panel disadvantages. So the manufacturer requires development of polyurethane foam, the addition of a blowing agent, and after all, such a panel is fundamentally only conditional recyclable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, unter Wahrung der Vor­ teile bei der Verwendung von Schaumstoff eine Schalttafel zu schaffen, die einerseits besonders leicht, dabei aber trotzdem formstabil und von ausreichender Festigkeit ist und andererseits voll recycelbar ist. Darüber hinaus soll sie leicht herzustellen sein.The invention has for its object, while maintaining the prior assign a control panel when using foam create that on the one hand particularly light, but still dimensionally stable and of sufficient strength and on the other hand is fully recyclable. In addition, it is said to be easy to manufacture his.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 ge­ löst. Die Verwendung von Polypropylenschaum gestattet es, sowohl auf einen Grundträger als auch auf sonstige versteifende Träger­ materialien zu verzichten. Da das Aufschäumen lediglich durch Be­ aufschlagung mit Wasserdampf, also ohne Zugabe von umweltbela­ stenden Treibmitteln erfolgt und eine Wiederaufbereitung problem­ los ist, ist diese Schaumart auch in ökologischer Hinsicht vor­ teilhaft.This object is ge with the features of claim 1 solves. The use of polypropylene foam allows both on a basic carrier as well as on other stiffening carriers to waive materials. Since the foaming only by Be  Whipped up with water vapor, i.e. without adding environmental pollution constant blowing agents and a reprocessing problem is going on, this type of foam is also available in ecological terms partial.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of Subclaims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung nachfolgend näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is based on the drawing explained in more detail below.

Die darin im Schnitt dargestellte Schalttafel ist aus zwei Ab­ schnitten 1 und 2 zusammengesetzt, die beide für sich aus Poly­ propylen geschäumt sind, und zwar ohne irgendwelche Verstärkungs­ träger. Lediglich aus optischen Gründen ist die Sichtfläche mit einer Folie 3 überzogen. Die beiden Abschnitte 1 und 2 sind an den Stellen 4 kraftschlüssig miteinander verbunden, beispielswei­ se verklebt. Wenn auch die dargestellte Schalttafel (natürlich ohne die das Ablagefach 5 verschließende Klappe 6) grundsätzlich in einem Arbeitsgang hergestellt werden kann, so wurde hier die zusammengesetzte Version gewählt, weil damit die kanalartigen Hohlräume 7, 8 fertigungstechnisch einfacher zu realisieren sind, während der Hohlraum 7 der schlauchlosen Führung von Heiz- oder Frischluft dient, können in dem Kanal 8 Versorgungsleitungen, z. B. Elektrokabel, untergebracht werden, selbstverständlich so, daß sie im Fahrbetrieb keine Klappergeräusche verursachen.The control panel shown in section is composed of two sections from 1 and 2 , both of which are foamed for themselves from poly propylene, without any reinforcement carrier. The visible surface is covered with a film 3 only for optical reasons. The two sections 1 and 2 are non-positively connected at the points 4 , for example glued se. Although the switch panel shown (of course without the flap 6 closing the storage compartment 5 ) can in principle be produced in one operation, the composite version was chosen here because the channel-like cavities 7 , 8 are easier to implement in terms of production technology, while the cavity 7 serves the tubeless routing of heating or fresh air, 8 supply lines, z. B. electrical cables, of course, so that they do not cause rattling noises when driving.

Zur späteren Befestigung der Schalttafel an der Fahrzeugkarosse­ rie sind in Randbereichen der Schalttafel zeichnerisch nicht dar­ gestellte Halteelemente mit eingeschäumt. Diese Halteelemente be­ stehen zweckmäßigerweise aus Polypropylen-Spritzguß, das heißt aus demselben Grundstoff wie die Schalttafel selbst. Für das Re­ cycling ist diese Vorgehensweise besonders vorteilhaft.For later attachment of the control panel to the vehicle body rie are not shown in the edges of the panel posed holding elements with foamed. These holding elements be are expediently made of polypropylene injection molding, that is made of the same basic material as the control panel itself. For the Re cycling, this approach is particularly advantageous.
