- the invention also relates to an internal combustion engine whose fresh air system is equipped with such an arrangement.
- an external exhaust gas recirculation is also used, in which exhaust gas is taken from an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine and fed to a fresh air system of the internal combustion engine.
- the exhaust system leads in a conventional manner, the resulting in the combustion in the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine.
- the fresh air system supplies fresh air to these combustion chambers for new combustion processes. Upstream of these combustion chambers recirculated exhaust gas is now introduced into the fresh air system. In the area of such a discharge point, an arrangement of the type mentioned is used.
- an inlet connection has a connection flange which is arranged via a seal on an inner side of a mounting member, wherein the mounting member is arranged on the outside of a channel of the fresh air system, such that it closes a connection opening of the channel through which the inlet connection with the connection flange and the seal projects into the channel.
- a coolant channel is arranged on an outer side of the mounting member.
- the invention is based on the general idea to set the inlet nozzle with a nozzle flange outside of a plastic component of the fresh air system and to fix it with the help of screws, the screws are passed through plastic bushes.
- the nozzle flange can preferably be supported on the plastic component via the plastic bushes. This makes it possible in particular to avoid direct contact between the inlet nozzle and the plastic component. As a result, thermal stresses between the preferably metallic inlet nozzle or the preferably metallic nozzle flange on the one hand and the plastic component on the other hand can be reduced.
- the invention proposes to use the preferably metallic inlet nozzle in a connection opening, which is formed in the plastic component of the fresh air system.
- the inlet nozzle may be inserted into the connection opening in such a way that it protrudes into the interior of the plastic component, so that the recirculated exhaust gas can be supplied to the fresh air flow at a distance from the plastic component.
- the inlet nozzle is expediently cylindrical.
- the inlet connection can furthermore be axially open so that the recirculated exhaust gas can enter the fresh air flow axially with respect to the inlet connection.
- the inlet nozzle may optionally have at least one radial opening within the plastic component, so that the recirculated exhaust gas with respect the inlet can also flow radially into the fresh air stream.
- the inlet connection piece has the connection flange, which according to a preferred embodiment can be integrally formed on the inlet connection piece and accordingly formed with the same material.
- a preferably metallic exhaust gas recirculation line is flanged to a side facing away from the plastic component side.

- the nozzle flange is now arranged on the outside of this flange region, so that the nozzle flange thus on the other hand also serves to fasten the inlet nozzle to the plastic component.
- the nozzle flange has a plurality of bushing openings, in each of which a plastic bushing is inserted.
- the nozzle flange is now screwed by means of several, preferably metallic, screws with the flange, said screws are each passed through one of the plastic sockets.
- the nozzle flange can be arranged at a distance from the flange region.
- efficient thermal decoupling results, since heat transmission through heat conduction is precluded and only heat transfer by thermal radiation is possible, which is significantly lower.
- the inlet nozzle has an outer cross section which is smaller than an opening cross section or inner cross section of the connection opening, so that the inlet connection is radially spaced from an opening edge with respect to the nozzle longitudinal direction.
- the inlet nozzle has no direct contact with the plastic component.
- a seal surrounding the connection opening can be arranged between the connection flange and the flange region.
- This seal prevents leaks and false flows and in particular leakage of the recirculated exhaust gas into the environment.
- the seal can be used according to an advantageous development as a spacer, if it is equipped with appropriate stability, so that it can be used for spacing the neck flange of the flange.
- the respective plastic bushing may have a bushing flange with which the respective plastic bushing is supported on the neck flange on a side facing away from the flange region.
- the associated screw is supported with a screw head on said bushing flange either indirectly via a disk or directly.
- the respective plastic bushing can be inserted into the associated bushing opening and latched to the neck flange on a side of the neck flange facing the flange region.
- the plastic bushing may have correspondingly radially resilient latching elements which yield radially inwardly upon insertion of the respective plastic bushing into the associated bushing opening and emerge again from the respective bushing opening when the plastic bushing is completely inserted on the opposite side, thereby springing back radially outwards Behind the neck flange on this side.
- the socket opening with a Self-tapping internal thread to be cut when screwing the plastic bushing into the outside of the plastic bushing.
- conventional, mutually complementary threads may be formed on the bushing opening and the plastic bushing.
- the respective plastic bush can also be fixed via a press fit in the bushing opening on the neck flange.
- the respective plastic bushing is supported axially on the end face on the flange area.
- the plastic bushing protrudes axially over the nozzle flange with respect to the longitudinal direction of the inlet nozzle, so that an axial spacing between the nozzle flange and the flange region is already achieved via the plastic bushing.
- At least one spacer element can be arranged between the nozzle flange and the flange region, which encloses, for example, one of the plastic bushes in an annular manner. In this way, the desired axial distance between the nozzle flange and flange area can be realized particularly easily.
- the plastic bushings can be made of a duroplastic.
- Thermosets can be realized with a relatively high thermal resistance.
- the plastic component of the fresh air system can have a collar which projects into the connection opening and protrudes outward, from which a component flange forming the flange region emerges.
- said collar and associated component flange can be formed integrally, that is, of the same material, on the plastic component.
- the component flange can be arranged free-standing with respect to the remaining plastic component.
- an air gap insulation is achieved between the plastic component and the component flange, which additionally improves the thermal decoupling.
- a desired axial distance between the component flange and the plastic component can be realized in a particularly simple manner in that the collar protrudes in the axial direction outwardly from the plastic component so that the desired axial distance is established.
- the screws can be designed to be self-tapping or self-tapping, so that they can penetrate into the plastic of the flange area when screwed in without corresponding screw openings on the flange area having to be formed beforehand for this purpose. This simplifies the assembly.
- the flange region can have a greater wall thickness in screw regions, which in each case lie opposite one of the plastic bushings, than in regions adjacent thereto. This ensures that the screws are comparatively deep in the material of the Flange area can be screwed, which improves the anchoring of the screws on or in the flange area.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zum Einleiten von rückgeführtem Abgas in eine Frischluftanlage einer Brennkraftmaschine. Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem eine Brennkraftmaschine, deren Frischluftanlage mit einer derartigen Anordnung ausgestattet ist.The present invention relates to an arrangement for introducing recirculated exhaust gas into a fresh air system of an internal combustion engine. The invention also relates to an internal combustion engine whose fresh air system is equipped with such an arrangement.
Zur Reduzierung von Schadstoffemissionen sowie zur Reduzierung eines Kraftstoffverbrauchs ist es bei modernen Brennkraftmaschinen bekannt, einen Teil der bei der Verbrennung des Kraftstoffs in Brennräumen entstehenden Abgase zu den Brennräumen zurückzuführen. Neben einer internen Abgasrückführung kommt dabei auch eine externe Abgasrückführung zum Einsatz, bei der Abgas von einer Abgasanlage der Brennkraftmaschine entnommen wird und einer Frischluftanlage der Brennkraftmaschine zugeführt wird. Die Abgasanlage führt in üblicher Weise die bei der Verbrennung in den Brennräumen der Brennkraftmaschine entstehenden Abgase von der Brennkraftmaschine ab. Die Frischluftanlage führt diesen Brennräumen Frischluft für neue Verbrennungsvorgänge zu. Stromauf dieser Brennräume wird nun rückgeführtes Abgas in die Frischluftanlage eingeleitet. Im Bereich einer derartigen Einleitstelle kommt eine Anordnung der eingangs genannten Art zum Einsatz.In order to reduce pollutant emissions and to reduce fuel consumption, it is known in modern internal combustion engines to return a portion of the resulting during combustion of the fuel in combustion chambers exhaust gases to the combustion chambers. In addition to an internal exhaust gas recirculation, an external exhaust gas recirculation is also used, in which exhaust gas is taken from an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine and fed to a fresh air system of the internal combustion engine. The exhaust system leads in a conventional manner, the resulting in the combustion in the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine. The fresh air system supplies fresh air to these combustion chambers for new combustion processes. Upstream of these combustion chambers recirculated exhaust gas is now introduced into the fresh air system. In the area of such a discharge point, an arrangement of the type mentioned is used.
Problematisch bei einer derartigen Einleitstelle ist dabei der Umstand, dass Abgase und somit in der Regel auch rückgeführte Abgase vergleichsweise hohe Temperaturen aufweisen können, während Frischluft im Vergleich dazu relativ niedrige Temperaturen besitzt. Dementsprechend wird eine Frischluftanlage weitgehend mit Materialien aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Im Unterschied dazu wird eine Abgasanlage und in der Regel auch eine Abgasrückführanlage weitgehend aus metallischen Materialien hergestellt. An der Einleitstelle, über die das rückgeführte Abgas der Frischluft zugeführt wird, treffen somit heiße Bauteile, die insbesondere aus metallischen Werkstoffen hergestellt sind, auf vergleichsweise kalte Bauteile, die regelmäßig aus Kunststoff bestehen. Hierdurch kann es an der Einleitstelle zu thermischen Belastungen und thermisch bedingten Spannungen und somit zu einer erhöhten Beschädigungsgefahr kommen.The problem with such a point of introduction is the fact that exhaust gases and thus, as a rule, recirculated exhaust gases can have comparatively high temperatures, whereas fresh air has relatively low temperatures in comparison thereto. Accordingly, a fresh air system is largely made with plastic materials. In contrast, it will an exhaust system and usually also an exhaust gas recirculation system largely made of metallic materials. At the point of introduction, via which the recirculated exhaust gas is supplied to the fresh air, thus hot components, which are made in particular of metallic materials, meet comparatively cold components, which regularly consist of plastic. This can lead to thermal loads and thermally induced stresses and thus to an increased risk of damage at the point of introduction.

The present invention is concerned with the problem of providing for an arrangement of the type mentioned in an improved or at least another embodiment, in particular by a simple and low cost design and in particular has sufficient thermal decoupling between the exhaust gas recirculation system and the fresh air system.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, den Einleitstutzen mit einem Stutzenflansch außen an einem Kunststoffbauteil der Frischluftanlage anzusetzen und mit Hilfe von Schrauben daran zu fixieren, wobei die Schrauben durch Kunststoffbuchsen hindurchgeführt sind. Dabei kann sich der Stutzenflansch vorzugsweise über die Kunststoffbuchsen am Kunststoffbauteil abstützen. Hierdurch ist es insbesondere möglich, einen direkten Kontakt zwischen dem Einleitstutzen und dem Kunststoffbauteil zu vermeiden. Hierdurch lassen sich thermische Spannungen zwischen dem bevorzugt metallischen Einleitstutzen bzw. dem vorzugsweise metallischen Stutzenflansch einerseits und dem Kunststoffbauteil andererseits reduzieren.The invention is based on the general idea to set the inlet nozzle with a nozzle flange outside of a plastic component of the fresh air system and to fix it with the help of screws, the screws are passed through plastic bushes. In this case, the nozzle flange can preferably be supported on the plastic component via the plastic bushes. This makes it possible in particular to avoid direct contact between the inlet nozzle and the plastic component. As a result, thermal stresses between the preferably metallic inlet nozzle or the preferably metallic nozzle flange on the one hand and the plastic component on the other hand can be reduced.
Im Einzelnen wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, den bevorzugt metallischen Einleitstutzen in eine Anschlussöffnung einzusetzen, die im Kunststoffbauteil der Frischluftanlage ausgebildet ist. Dabei kann der Einleitstutzen derart in die Anschlussöffnung eingesetzt sein, dass er in das Innere des Kunststoffbauteils vorsteht, so dass das rückgeführte Abgas beabstandet zum Kunststoffbauteil dem Frischluftstrom zugeführt werden kann. Der Einleitstutzen ist zweckmäßig zylindrisch gestaltet. Der Einleitstutzen kann ferner axial offen sein, so dass das rückgeführte Abgas bezüglich des Einleitstutzens axial in den Frischluftstrom eintreten kann. Der Einleitstutzen kann optional innerhalb des Kunststoffbauteils wenigstens eine radiale Öffnung aufweisen, so dass das rückgeführte Abgas bezüglich des Einleitstutzens auch radial in den Frischluftstrom einströmen kann. Ferner weist der Einleitstutzen den Stutzenflansch auf, der gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform integral am Einleitstutzen ausgeformt sein kann und dementsprechend mit diesem materialeinheitlich gebildet ist. An diesen Stutzenflansch ist an einer vom Kunststoffbauteil abgewandten Seite eine vorzugsweise metallische Abgasrückführleitung angeflanscht. Somit dient der Stutzenflansch einerseits zur Anbindung der Abgasrückführleitung an den Einleitstutzen. Das Kunststoffbauteil der Frischluftanlage besitzt einen Flanschbereich, der die Anschlussöffnung in der Umfangsrichtung umschließt. Der Stutzenflansch ist nun außen an diesem Flanschbereich angeordnet, so dass der Stutzenflansch somit andererseits auch zum Befestigen des Einleitstutzens am Kunststoffbauteil dient. Hierzu weist der Stutzenflansch mehrere Buchsenöffnungen auf, in die jeweils eine Kunststoffbuchse eingesetzt ist. Der Stutzenflansch ist nun mittels mehrerer, vorzugsweise metallischer, Schrauben mit dem Flanschbereich verschraubt, wobei diese Schrauben jeweils durch eine der Kunststoffbuchsen hindurchgeführt sind.In detail, the invention proposes to use the preferably metallic inlet nozzle in a connection opening, which is formed in the plastic component of the fresh air system. In this case, the inlet nozzle may be inserted into the connection opening in such a way that it protrudes into the interior of the plastic component, so that the recirculated exhaust gas can be supplied to the fresh air flow at a distance from the plastic component. The inlet nozzle is expediently cylindrical. The inlet connection can furthermore be axially open so that the recirculated exhaust gas can enter the fresh air flow axially with respect to the inlet connection. The inlet nozzle may optionally have at least one radial opening within the plastic component, so that the recirculated exhaust gas with respect the inlet can also flow radially into the fresh air stream. Furthermore, the inlet connection piece has the connection flange, which according to a preferred embodiment can be integrally formed on the inlet connection piece and accordingly formed with the same material. At this nozzle flange, a preferably metallic exhaust gas recirculation line is flanged to a side facing away from the plastic component side. Thus, the nozzle flange serves on the one hand to connect the exhaust gas recirculation line to the inlet connection. The plastic component of the fresh air system has a flange portion which encloses the connection opening in the circumferential direction. The nozzle flange is now arranged on the outside of this flange region, so that the nozzle flange thus on the other hand also serves to fasten the inlet nozzle to the plastic component. For this purpose, the nozzle flange has a plurality of bushing openings, in each of which a plastic bushing is inserted. The nozzle flange is now screwed by means of several, preferably metallic, screws with the flange, said screws are each passed through one of the plastic sockets.
Entsprechend einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann der Stutzenflansch vom Flanschbereich beabstandet angeordnet sein. Durch einen bezüglich der Axialrichtung des Einleitstutzens axialen Abstand zwischen Stutzenflansch und Flanschbereich ergibt sich eine effiziente thermische Entkopplung, da eine Wärmeübertragung durch Wärmeleitung dadurch ausgeschlossen ist und nur noch eine Wärmeübertragung durch Wärmestrahlung möglich ist, die deutlich geringer ausfällt. Zweckmäßig kann außerdem vorgesehen sein, dass der Einleitstutzen einen Außenquerschnitt besitzt, der kleiner ist als ein Öffnungsquerschnitt oder Innenquerschnitt der Anschlussöffnung, so dass der Einleitstutzen gegenüber einem Öffnungsrand hinsichtlich der Stutzenlängsrichtung radial beabstandet ist. Somit besitzt der Einleitstutzen keinen direkten Kontakt zum Kunststoffbauteil.According to an advantageous embodiment, the nozzle flange can be arranged at a distance from the flange region. By means of an axial distance between the nozzle flange and the flange area with respect to the axial direction of the inlet nozzle, efficient thermal decoupling results, since heat transmission through heat conduction is precluded and only heat transfer by thermal radiation is possible, which is significantly lower. Appropriately, it can also be provided that the inlet nozzle has an outer cross section which is smaller than an opening cross section or inner cross section of the connection opening, so that the inlet connection is radially spaced from an opening edge with respect to the nozzle longitudinal direction. Thus, the inlet nozzle has no direct contact with the plastic component.
Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform kann zwischen dem Stutzenflansch und dem Flanschbereich eine die Anschlussöffnung umschließende Dichtung angeordnet sein. Diese Dichtung verhindert zum einen Leckagen und Fehlströmungen und insbesondere ein Austreten des rückgeführten Abgases in die Umgebung. Zum anderen kann die Dichtung gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung als Distanzelement genutzt werden, wenn sie mit entsprechender Stabilität ausgestattet wird, so dass sie zum Beabstanden des Stutzenflansches vom Flanschbereich verwendet werden kann.In another embodiment, a seal surrounding the connection opening can be arranged between the connection flange and the flange region. This seal prevents leaks and false flows and in particular leakage of the recirculated exhaust gas into the environment. On the other hand, the seal can be used according to an advantageous development as a spacer, if it is equipped with appropriate stability, so that it can be used for spacing the neck flange of the flange.
Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform kann die jeweilige Kunststoffbuchse einen Buchsenflansch aufweisen, mit dem die jeweilige Kunststoffbuchse an einer vom Flanschbereich abgewandten Seite am Stutzenflansch abgestützt ist. Insbesondere kann dann vorgesehen sein, dass die zugehörige Schraube mit einem Schraubenkopf an besagtem Buchsenflansch entweder indirekt über eine Scheibe oder direkt abgestützt ist. Somit lassen sich die Fixierungskräfte der Schraube besonders einfach über die Kunststoffbuchse auf den Stutzenflansch übertragen.According to another embodiment, the respective plastic bushing may have a bushing flange with which the respective plastic bushing is supported on the neck flange on a side facing away from the flange region. In particular, it can then be provided that the associated screw is supported with a screw head on said bushing flange either indirectly via a disk or directly. Thus, the fixing forces of the screw can be very easily transmitted via the plastic bushing to the nozzle flange.
Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform kann die jeweilige Kunststoffbuchse in die zugehörige Buchsenöffnung eingesteckt sein und an einer dem Flanschbereich zugewandten Seite des Stutzenflansches mit dem Stutzenflansch verrastet sein. Hierzu kann die Kunststoffbuchse entsprechende, radial federnde Rastelemente aufweisen, die beim Einstecken der jeweiligen Kunststoffbuchse in die zugehörige Buchsenöffnung radial nach innen federnd nachgeben und bei vollständig eingesteckter Kunststoffbuchse an der gegenüberliegenden Seite aus der jeweiligen Buchsenöffnung wieder austreten und dabei radial nach außen zurückfedern, um den Stutzenflansch an dieser Seite zu hintergreifen.In another embodiment, the respective plastic bushing can be inserted into the associated bushing opening and latched to the neck flange on a side of the neck flange facing the flange region. For this purpose, the plastic bushing may have correspondingly radially resilient latching elements which yield radially inwardly upon insertion of the respective plastic bushing into the associated bushing opening and emerge again from the respective bushing opening when the plastic bushing is completely inserted on the opposite side, thereby springing back radially outwards Behind the neck flange on this side.
Alternativ ist es ebenso möglich, die jeweilige Kunststoffbuchse in die zugehörige Buchsenöffnung einzuschrauben. Hierzu kann die Buchsenöffnung mit einem selbstschneidenden Innengewinde ausgestattet sein, das sich beim Eindrehen der Kunststoffbuchse in die Außenseite der Kunststoffbuchse einschneidet. Ebenso können übliche, zueinander komplementäre Gewinde an der Buchsenöffnung und der Kunststoffbuchse ausgebildet sein.Alternatively, it is also possible to screw the respective plastic bushing into the associated bushing opening. For this purpose, the socket opening with a Self-tapping internal thread to be cut when screwing the plastic bushing into the outside of the plastic bushing. Likewise, conventional, mutually complementary threads may be formed on the bushing opening and the plastic bushing.
Alternativ kann die jeweilige Kunststoffbuchse auch über einen Presssitz in der Buchsenöffnung am Stutzenflansch fixiert sein.Alternatively, the respective plastic bush can also be fixed via a press fit in the bushing opening on the neck flange.
Vorzugsweise stützt sich die jeweilige Kunststoffbuchse axial stirnseitig am Flanschbereich ab. Insbesondere steht dabei die Kunststoffbuchse bezüglich der Längsrichtung des Einleitstutzens axial über dem Stutzenflansch vor, so dass bereits über die Kunststoffbuchse eine axiale Beabstandung zwischen dem Stutzenflansch und dem Flanschbereich erreicht wird.Preferably, the respective plastic bushing is supported axially on the end face on the flange area. In particular, the plastic bushing protrudes axially over the nozzle flange with respect to the longitudinal direction of the inlet nozzle, so that an axial spacing between the nozzle flange and the flange region is already achieved via the plastic bushing.
Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform kann wenigstens ein Distanzelement zwischen dem Stutzenflansch und dem Flanschbereich angeordnet sein, das beispielsweise eine der Kunststoffbuchsen ringförmig umschließt. Auf diese Weise lässt sich der gewünschte Axialabstand zwischen Stutzenflansch und Flanschbereich besonders einfach realisieren.In another embodiment, at least one spacer element can be arranged between the nozzle flange and the flange region, which encloses, for example, one of the plastic bushes in an annular manner. In this way, the desired axial distance between the nozzle flange and flange area can be realized particularly easily.
Bevorzugt können die Kunststoffbuchsen aus einem Duroplast hergestellt sein. Duroplaste lassen sich mit einer relativ hohen thermischen Beständigkeit realisieren.Preferably, the plastic bushings can be made of a duroplastic. Thermosets can be realized with a relatively high thermal resistance.
Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform kann das Kunststoffbauteil der Frischluftanlage einen die Anschlussöffnung einfassenden, nach außen abstehenden Kragen aufweisen, von dem ein den Flanschbereich bildender Bauteilflansch ausgeht. Insbesondere können besagter Kragen und zugehöriger Bauteilflansch integral, also materialeinheitlich am Kunststoffbauteil ausgeformt sein. Durch die Verwendung eines derartigen Bauteilflansches wird am Kunststoffbauteil ein speziell für die Montage des Stutzenflansches geeigneter Abschnitt bereitgestellt, was die Realisierung der hier vorgestellten Anordnung vereinfacht. Des Weiteren wird eine direkte thermische Beaufschlagung des Kunststoffbauteils vermieden, da über den Stutzenflansch nur der Bauteilflansch thermisch beaufschlagt wird und auch das aufgrund der verwendeten Kunststoffbuchsen nur in reduziertem Umfang. Somit kann die thermische Entkopplung mit Hilfe des Kragens und des daran ausgebildeten Bauteilflansches erheblich verbessert werden.According to another embodiment, the plastic component of the fresh air system can have a collar which projects into the connection opening and protrudes outward, from which a component flange forming the flange region emerges. In particular, said collar and associated component flange can be formed integrally, that is, of the same material, on the plastic component. By the Use of such a component flange is provided on the plastic component a suitable for the mounting of the nozzle flange portion, which simplifies the realization of the arrangement presented here. Furthermore, a direct thermal loading of the plastic component is avoided, since only the component flange is thermally acted upon via the nozzle flange and also due to the plastic bushes used only to a reduced extent. Thus, the thermal decoupling with the help of the collar and the component flange formed thereon can be significantly improved.
Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann der Bauteilflansch gegenüber dem übrigen Kunststoffbauteil freistehend angeordnet sein. Durch diese Beabstandung des Bauteilflansches vom übrigen Kunststoffbauteil wird zwischen dem Kunststoffbauteil und dem Bauteilflansch eine Luftspaltisolation erreicht, was die thermische Entkopplung zusätzlich verbessert. Ein gewünschter Axialabstand zwischen Bauteilflansch und Kunststoffbauteil lässt sich besonders einfach dadurch realisieren, dass der Kragen in der Axialrichtung soweit nach außen vom Kunststoffbauteil absteht, dass sich der gewünschte Axialabstand einstellt.According to a particularly advantageous development, the component flange can be arranged free-standing with respect to the remaining plastic component. As a result of this spacing of the component flange from the remaining plastic component, an air gap insulation is achieved between the plastic component and the component flange, which additionally improves the thermal decoupling. A desired axial distance between the component flange and the plastic component can be realized in a particularly simple manner in that the collar protrudes in the axial direction outwardly from the plastic component so that the desired axial distance is established.
Bevorzugt können die Schrauben selbstfurchend oder selbstschneidend ausgestaltet sein, so dass sie beim Einschrauben in den Kunststoff des Flanschbereichs eindringen können, ohne dass hierzu entsprechende Schrauböffnungen am Flanschbereich vorher ausgebildet werden müssen. Hierdurch vereinfacht sich die Montage.Preferably, the screws can be designed to be self-tapping or self-tapping, so that they can penetrate into the plastic of the flange area when screwed in without corresponding screw openings on the flange area having to be formed beforehand for this purpose. This simplifies the assembly.
Bei einer anderen vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann der Flanschbereich in Schraubbereichen, die jeweils einer der Kunststoffbuchsen gegenüberliegen, eine größere Wandstärke aufweisen als in daran angrenzenden Bereichen. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass die Schrauben vergleichsweise tief in den Werkstoff des Flanschbereiches eingeschraubt werden können, was die Verankerung der Schrauben am bzw. im Flanschbereich verbessert.In another advantageous embodiment, the flange region can have a greater wall thickness in screw regions, which in each case lie opposite one of the plastic bushings, than in regions adjacent thereto. This ensures that the screws are comparatively deep in the material of the Flange area can be screwed, which improves the anchoring of the screws on or in the flange area.
