Description

Konsoleconsole
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Konsole, insbesondere für den Einsatz in Kraftfahrzeugen, mit einer wenigstens bereichsweise geschlossenen Verkleidungsfläche und einem darin gehaltenen Fluidkanal mit Verbindungsstücken zum Anschluss des Fluidkanals an Fluidleitungen, Einlassoder Auslassdüsen oder dgl..The invention relates to a console, in particular for use in motor vehicles, with an at least partially closed cladding surface and a fluid channel held therein with connecting pieces for connecting the fluid channel to fluid lines, inlet or outlet nozzles or the like.
Derartige Konsolen sind in Fahrzeugen, insbesondere als Mittelkonsolen bekannt, die Funktionsteile der äußeren Schaltung und der Feststellbremse verkleiden und verdecken. In Mittelkonsolen sind häufig Ablagemöglichkeiten, wie bspw. Cupholder, Kassettenablagen oder ähnliches, integriert. Die Mittelkonsole wird in PKWs meistens auch dazu benutzt, um Frisch- oder Umluft zu den im Fond sitzenden Insassen zu leiten. Die Luftmengen werden dazu herkömmlicherweise in starren Kunststoff röhren durch die Mittelkonsole geleitet. Um die Breite der Mittelkonsolen nicht unnötig zu erhöhen, weisen diese Kunststoffröhren komplizierte Geometrien auf, so dass eine ausreichend große Luftmenge an den durch die Konsole verkleideten Funktionsteilen vorbeigeleitet werden kann. Zur Realisierung dieser komplizierten Geometrien der Kunststoffröhren werden diese zumeist als Kunststoffblasformteile mit verlorenen Formen hergestellt. Die Investitionskosten für die Fertigungswerkzeuge sind daher sehr hoch, da mit einem Werkzeug nur eine Kunststoffröhre hergestellt werden kann. Die Gestaltung der Kunststoffröhren mit einer starren Form erfordert zudem eine vergleichsweise hohe Wandstärke der Röhren, durch die das Gesamtgewicht der Konsole steigt.Such consoles are known in vehicles, in particular as center consoles, which cover and hide the functional parts of the outer circuit and the parking brake. Storage facilities, such as cup holders, cassette shelves or the like, are often integrated in center consoles. The center console is mostly used in cars to direct fresh or recirculated air to the occupants sitting in the rear. The air volumes are conventionally routed through the center console in rigid plastic tubes. In order not to unnecessarily increase the width of the center console, these plastic tubes have complicated geometries, so that a sufficiently large amount of air can be directed past the functional parts clad by the console. In order to realize these complicated geometries of the plastic tubes, they are mostly manufactured as plastic blow molded parts with lost shapes. The investment costs for the manufacturing tools are therefore very high, since only one plastic tube can be produced with one tool. The design of the plastic tubes with a rigid shape also requires a comparatively high wall thickness of the tubes, which increases the overall weight of the console.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Konsole der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, die bei geringerem Gewicht kostengünstiger herstellbar ist.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a console of the type mentioned at the outset, which can be manufactured more cost-effectively with less weight.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß im Wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, dass der Fluidkanal ein luftdichter Schlauch aus flexiblem Material ist. Dieser Schlauch, der sich durch den Luftstrom aufbläht, füllt den von der Konsole verdeckten Raum, der nicht von Funktionsteilen der Schaltung oder der Feststellbremse eingenommen werden, optimal aus. Der Schlauch ist somit in unterschiedlichen Konsolen, beispielsweise für manuelle oder Automatikgetriebe universell einsetzbar, so dass Entwicklungskosten für individuelle Fluidkanäle entfallen. Die Herstellung eines luftdichten Schlauches ist automatisierbar, so dass die Herstellungskosten für die gesamte Konsole deutlich reduziert werden. Gleichzeitig sinkt durch die geringere erforderliche Wandstärke des Schlauches im Gegensatz zu starren Kunststoffröhren das Gewicht der Fluidkanäle und damit das Gesamtgewicht der Konsole.This object is essentially achieved in that the fluid channel is an airtight tube made of flexible material. This hose, which inflates due to the air flow, optimally fills the space covered by the console, which is not occupied by functional parts of the circuit or the parking brake. The hose can thus be used universally in different brackets, for example for manual or automatic transmissions, so that development costs for individual fluid channels are eliminated. The production of an airtight hose can be automated, so that the manufacturing costs for the entire console are significantly reduced. At the same time, due to the reduced wall thickness of the hose, in contrast to rigid plastic tubes, the weight of the fluid ducts and thus the total weight of the console is reduced.
Derartige Schläuche können besonders wirtschaftlich gefertigt werden, indem zwei Lagen einer Kunststofffolie miteinander verschweißt werden. Insbesondere hat sich die Herstellung des Schlauches mit Hilfe einer Ultraschallschweißmaschine als besonders günstig erwiesen. Kunststofffolien weisen dabei bei äußerst geringen Wandstärken und damit geringem Gewicht eine hohe Reißfestigkeit auf.Such hoses can be manufactured particularly economically by welding two layers of a plastic film together. In particular, the production of the hose using an ultrasonic welding machine has proven to be particularly favorable. Plastic films have a high tensile strength with extremely thin walls and thus low weight.
In Abhängigkeit weiterer Einbauparameter kann alternativ hierzu der Schlauch auch aus zwei Lagen von miteinander verschweißtem Textilgewebe bestehen. Luftdichtes Textilgewebe weist dabei eine weiter gesteigerte Reißfestigkeit auf. Zudem entstehen bei dem Einsatz von Textilschläuchen ebenso wie bei dem Einsatz von aus Kunststofffolien gefertigten Schläuchen keine wahrnehmbaren Geräusche bei den Formänderungen der Schläuche während des Aufblasens und Zusammenfallens.Depending on other installation parameters, the hose may alternatively consist of two layers of textile fabric welded together. Airtight textile fabric has a further increased tear resistance. In addition, when using textile hoses, just as when using hoses made of plastic films, there are no perceptible noises when the hoses change shape during inflation and collapse.
Um den Kraftfahrzeugen entstehenden thermischen Belastungen während der gesamten Lebensdauer eines Fahrzeugs sicher widerstehen zu können, wird es bevorzugt, dass der Schlauch bis zumindest 100°C temperaturbeständig ist. Auch bei intensiver Sonneneinstrahlung oder lokaler Temperaturerhöhung durch Elektronikbauteile wird ein Versagen des Schlauches hierdurch nahezu vollständig ausgeschlossen.In order to be able to reliably withstand the thermal loads arising from the motor vehicles throughout the entire service life of a vehicle, it is preferred that the hose is temperature-resistant up to at least 100 ° C. This means that failure of the hose is almost completely ruled out, even when exposed to intense sunlight or local temperature increases due to electronic components.
Nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Schlauch eine hohe Reißfestigkeit bis zumindest 1 bar auf. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass bei eingeschaltetem Ventilator und geschlossenen Auslassdüsen im Fond des Fahrzeugs keine Leckagen durch den Staudruck entstehen können. Durch derartige Leckagen könnte die Luftzufuhr zum Fond des Fahrzeugs verschlechtert werden.According to a preferred embodiment, the hose has a high tensile strength up to at least 1 bar. This ensures that when the fan is switched on and the outlet nozzles in the rear of the vehicle are closed, no leakage can occur due to the dynamic pressure. The air supply to the rear of the vehicle could be impaired by such leaks.
In Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgedankens ist es vorgesehen, dass wenigstens die Innenseite des Schlauches mit einer das Zusammenkleben verhindernden Oberflächenstruktur oder -ausrüstung versehen ist. Das Aufblasen des Schlauches wird dadurch selbst bei sich im Inneren des Schlauches niederschlagender Luftfeuchtigkeit sichergestellt, ohne dass der Schlauch zusammenklebt und dadurch die Luftzufuhr zum Fond verringert.In a further development of the inventive concept, it is provided that at least the inside of the hose is provided with a surface structure or equipment that prevents sticking together. The inflation of the hose is thereby ensured, even in the event of atmospheric moisture condensing inside the hose, without the hose sticking together and thereby reducing the air supply to the rear.
Eine besonders kostengünstige Herstellung der Konsole ist möglich, wenn wenigstens die Verkleidungsfläche aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus Polypropylen, besteht. Derartige Konsolen sind somit kostengünstig und mit geringen Taktzeiten beispielsweise im Spritzgussverfahren herstellbar. Der Anschluss des Schlauches an Verbindungsstücke, die luftdicht an weiteren den Fluidkanal zwischen Ventilator und Auslassdüse bildenden Bauteilen befestigt sind, wird besonders haltbar gestaltet, indem der Schlauch mit den Verbindungsstücken verklebt und/oder verschweißt ist.A particularly inexpensive manufacture of the console is possible if at least the cladding surface consists of plastic, in particular polypropylene. Such consoles are thus inexpensive and can be produced with short cycle times, for example in the injection molding process. The connection of the hose to connecting pieces, which are fastened airtight to further components forming the fluid channel between the fan and the outlet nozzle, is made particularly durable by the hose being glued and / or welded to the connecting pieces.
Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden anhand einer Ausführungsform und der Zeichnung rein beispielhaft näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below using an embodiment and the drawing purely by way of example.
Die einzige Figur zeigt eine schematische Perspektivansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Konsole.The single figure shows a schematic perspective view of a console according to the invention.
Die Konsole 1 weist eine in der Figur im wesentlichen U-förmige Verkleidungsfläche 2 auf, die im Vergleich zu der Einbaulage in einem Fahrzeug um 180° um ihre Längsachse gedreht ist. In der Verkleidungsfläche 2 sind zwei Öffnungen 3 und 4 ausgebildet, durch die sich Funktionsteile, wie beispielsweise Schalthebel, Bremshebel oder ähnliches, erstrecken können.The console 1 has an essentially U-shaped cladding surface 2 in the figure, which is rotated by 180 ° about its longitudinal axis in comparison to the installation position in a vehicle. In the cladding surface 2, two openings 3 and 4 are formed, through which functional parts, such as shift levers, brake levers or the like, can extend.
An den einander abgewandten Enden der Konsole 1 sind jeweils Verbindungsstücke 5 und 6 ausgebildet. Die Verbindungsstücke 5 und 6 können dabei einstückig mit der Verbindungsfläche 2 verbunden sein, oder als separate Bauteile an dieser befestigt sein. Zwischen den Verbindungsstücken 5 und 6 erstreckt sich ein Schlauch 7, durch den zusammen mit den Verbindungsstücken 5 und 6 ein Fluidkanal 8 im Inneren der Konsole 1 definiert wird. Der Schlauch 7 ist in der Figur in seinem entfalteten, aufgeblasenen Zustand dargestellt.At the opposite ends of the console 1 connecting pieces 5 and 6 are formed. The connecting pieces 5 and 6 can be integrally connected to the connecting surface 2, or can be fastened to this as separate components. A hose 7 extends between the connecting pieces 5 and 6, through which a fluid channel 8 is defined in the interior of the console 1 together with the connecting pieces 5 and 6. The tube 7 is shown in the figure in its unfolded, inflated state.
Die Verbindungsstücke 5 und 6 sind so ausgebildet, dass sie luftdicht in eineThe connectors 5 and 6 are designed so that they are airtight in a
Fluidleitung integrierbar sind, um beispielsweise Luft von einem Ventilator zu Auslassdüsen zu leiten. Die Verbindungsstücke 5 und 6 sind dabei über Befestigungszonen 9 bzw. 10 luftdicht mit dem Schlauch 7 verbunden. Dies kann beispielsweise über ein Verkleben und/oder Verschweißen des Schlauches 7 an den Verbindungsstücken 5 und 6 realisiert werden.Fluid lines can be integrated, for example to direct air from a fan to outlet nozzles. The connectors 5 and 6 are over Fastening zones 9 and 10 hermetically connected to the hose 7. This can be achieved, for example, by gluing and / or welding the hose 7 to the connecting pieces 5 and 6.
In dem im Vergleich zu der Figur und 180° gedrehten Einbauzustand der Konsole 1 sind die Verbindungsstücke 5 und 6 an entsprechende luftführende Module angeschlossen. Durch die Öffnungen 3 und 4 erstrecken sich Funktionsteile, wie beispielsweise Hebel, Schalter oder Ablageelemente. Der Schlauch 7 ist dabei in einem nicht aufgeblasenen, zusammengefallenen Zustand, wobei über die Oberflächenstruktur und/oder eine Oberflächenausrüstung der Innenseite des Schlauches 7 ein Zusammenkleben der Schlauchwände weitgehend verhindert wird. Wird nun ein Luftstrom von einem Ventilator (nicht dargestellt) zu einer ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Auslassdüse geleitet, bläst sich der Schlauch 7 auf und passt sich dem im Inneren der Konsole 1 vorhandenen, durch die Funktionsteile begrenzten Raum an. Auf diese Weise lässt sich ein Luftstrom nahezu unabhängig von der Ausgestaltung der sich durch die Konsole 1 erstreckenden Funktionsteile durch den Schlauch 7 leiten.In the installed state of the console 1, which is rotated in relation to the figure and 180 °, the connecting pieces 5 and 6 are connected to corresponding air-carrying modules. Functional parts such as levers, switches or storage elements extend through the openings 3 and 4. The hose 7 is in a non-inflated, collapsed state, wherein the surface of the hose 7 is largely prevented from sticking together by means of the surface structure and / or a surface finish. If an air flow is now directed from a fan (not shown) to an outlet nozzle (also not shown), the hose 7 inflates and adapts to the space inside the console 1 which is delimited by the functional parts. In this way, an air flow can be conducted through the hose 7 almost independently of the design of the functional parts extending through the console 1.
