Definitions

  • the invention relates to a motor vehicle with an air filter housing and an oil reservoir according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and a motor vehicle with an air filter housing according to the preamble of patent claim 5.
  • the air filter is used to filter intake air for an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle, in order to avoid damage to the internal combustion engine by sucked particles or moisture.
  • the air filter housing is held by means of at least one separate retaining element on a body component of the motor vehicle.
  • this is a metal frame used in which the air filter housing mounted and optionally screwed.
  • a screw connections between a housing wall of an air filter housing and a body component for fastening the air filter housing are known.
  • the DE 100 27 438 A1 describes a motor vehicle in which an air filter housing is attached to an intake pipe by means of a support frame. As a result, space is saved because the air filter housing no longer needs to be attached directly to a bodywork component of the motor vehicle.
  • both the attachment of an air filter housing to the body as well as the attachment to a suction pipe by means of respective holding elements has the disadvantage that the holding elements have a relatively high weight. This leads disadvantageously to a high weight of the motor vehicle and thus also to a high fuel consumption and high associated CO 2 emissions.
  • the installation of air filter housings in the known manner is also laborious, which is the manufacturing cost of the motor vehicle. Air filter housings fastened in a known manner also have a low rigidity, so that no further parts can be connected to them.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to develop a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 and a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 5 so that weight saved and the assembly of an air filter housing and / or an oil container is facilitated.
  • the motor vehicle it is provided in such a motor vehicle that one of at least two motor vehicle components which comprise an air filter housing and an oil container is held by means of the other motor vehicle components on a body component of the motor vehicle.
  • the oil tank carries the air filter housing or vice versa.
  • that motor vehicle component that holds the other motor vehicle component is formed of metal. This gives the load-bearing automotive component the necessary rigidity to reliably hold the other motor vehicle component. Additional stiffening structures are therefore not necessary in this embodiment of the invention.
  • the said metal motor vehicle component is preferably the oil tank. This is usually carried out in any case from metal, in order to ensure the necessary thermal resistance.
  • the oil container between the air filter housing and a component of an exhaust system of the motor vehicle is arranged so that it protects the air filter housing from the heat radiation of the exhaust system.
  • the invention further relates to a motor vehicle with an air filter housing according to the preamble of claim 5.
  • At least one support structure for holding an air filter housing is formed integrally with the air filter housing and extends over a predominant length region of the air filter housing.
  • the air filter housing is self-supporting.
  • the air filter housing is formed with the at least one support structure as a one-piece injection-molded component.
  • the one-piece design of the air cleaner housing and support structure stiffens the air cleaner housing so that it can withstand higher loads. This allows the attachment of other components on the air filter housing, which are supported by this. These components can be mounted on the air cleaner housing in the car before installing the air filter housing. Additional brackets can be omitted, which saves weight. In addition, fewer steps are necessary both for the assembly of the air filter housing itself and for the assembly of the other components, which is particularly inexpensive in the production of the motor vehicle.
  • the at least one support structure is preferably designed as a web which protrudes from a wall of the air filter housing.
  • the web extends over the entire wall and extends beyond it in its direction of extension, so as to provide connection areas for attaching the support structure to a bodywork component of the motor vehicle.
  • Such a bridge also allows a particularly good stiffening of the air filter housing.
  • two support structures are provided, which are each formed as a web and protrude from mutually opposite walls of the air filter housing.
  • At least one support element formed integrally with the air filter housing is provided for fastening a further motor vehicle component to the air filter housing.
  • an additional function is integrated into the air filter housing.
  • the air cleaner housing can now be used to hold, for example, an oil container or the like. This eliminates separate support elements for securing the further motor vehicle component. This will provide a particularly light motor vehicle. By integrally formed with the air filter housing retaining elements this also receives a high stability, so that it can carry particularly heavy other motor vehicle components without twisting or deforming in a similar manner.
  • the support element is preferably connected directly to the support structure, so that the forces introduced by the weight of the held further component are absorbed particularly well.
  • a motor vehicle designated as a whole by 10 comprises an air filter housing 12, which contains filter cartridges for filtering charge air for an internal combustion engine 14 of the motor vehicle 10.
  • the air filter housing 12 is formed by an upper part 16 and a lower part 18. It is arranged in a rear region 20 of the rear-engined motor vehicle 10.
  • the lower part 18 of the air filter housing 12 is preferably designed as a plastic injection molded part, so that the holding webs 24 can be molded directly with. In the vehicle transverse direction, the holding webs 24 protrude with their end regions 26 beyond the air filter housing 12 and are bolted there to longitudinal members 28 of a body of the motor vehicle 10.
  • the air filter housing 12 is therefore designed to be self-supporting, so that no additional holding elements are necessary. By dispensing with metallic holding elements, a particularly lightweight motor vehicle 10 is created.
  • the air filter housing 12 Seen in the vehicle longitudinal direction, the air filter housing 12 is disposed above a transmission 30 of the motor vehicle 10. From the gear 30, the rear axles 32 extend to the rear wheels 34 of the motor vehicle 10. The axles 32 are also connected via struts 36 with the longitudinal members 28. From the engine 14 outgoing exhaust pipes 40 extend below the air filter housing 12 to an arranged behind this exhaust system 42nd
  • the lower part 22 of the air filter housing 12 also has also integrally molded holder 44, with which an oil reservoir 46 is screwed. To support the oil reservoir 46 therefore no separate elements are necessary so that it is particularly space-saving and weight-saving added in the car 10.
  • the air filter housing 12 is sufficiently stiffened to carry the weight of the oil reservoir 46 can.
  • the oil tank 46 is held in the immediate vicinity of the transmission 30 and the motor 14, so that oil lines for supplying lubricant to the transmission 30 and the motor 14 can be kept particularly short.
  • an oil reservoir 146 may carry an air cleaner housing 112.
  • an oil reservoir 146 may carry an air cleaner housing 112.
  • the holding webs 124 are here on the one hand connected to the oil tank 146 and on the other hand fixed with their end portions 126 on the longitudinal beams 126.
  • an air cleaner housing 112 provided above the oil tank 146.
  • this has no molded support structure and is held only by the oil reservoir 146.
  • the other components of the motor vehicle correspond to the embodiment explained above.
  • the holding webs 124 may be materially connected to the oil container, for example in the form of a welded sheet metal composite.
  • a multi-part design with separate, for example, bolted to the oil tank 146 retaining webs 124 is conceivable. Since the oil tank 146 is made of metal, no additional stiffening is necessary, it may be sufficient to guide the support webs 124 only to the side walls 148 of the oil tank 146 and connect there with this.
