Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cross member for a ladder frame of a motor vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle.
  • the invention also relates to a motor vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle.
  • the invention also relates to a method for mounting a unit, preferably having a traction battery, on a ladder frame of a motor vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle.
  • the ladder frame has two parallel main rails and a plurality of cross rails attached between the main rails.
  • the ladder frame can be assembled first. Different units can then be attached to the ladder frame.
  • the attachment of heavy assemblies to the cross member or longitudinal member of the ladder frame can result in the entire ladder frame being able to warp undesirably or undesired tension occurring at the bearing points of the assemblies. It can also happen that the attachment of a large unit to the ladder frame is more difficult because only little installation space is available due to the cross member.
  • a first bearing and a second bearing are spaced from each other in a vehicle width direction on a cross member of a support structure to support the weight of a power unit hanging from the support structure.
  • the first bearing and the second bearing can be designed as elastomeric bearings.
  • EP 3 616 954 A1 discloses a truck having a rear axle, a ladder frame and an electric drive unit.
  • a first crossbeam and a second crossbeam of the ladder frame have an inverted U-profile that includes a receiving space in which at least one bearing for mounting the electric drive unit is at least partially arranged.
  • the electric drive unit is attached to the first cross member and to the second cross member from below.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating an improved technique for attaching a unit, preferably a traction battery, to a ladder frame of a motor vehicle, in particular with regard to improved ease of assembly.
  • a unit preferably a traction battery
  • the object is solved by the features of the independent claims.
  • Advantageous developments are specified in the dependent claims and the description.
  • the cross member for a ladder frame of a motor vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle (eg truck or bus).
  • the cross member has an elongate support body.
  • the elongate support body has a top and a bottom.
  • the elongated support body has at least one through hole connecting the top and bottom.
  • the crossbeam also has at least one elastomer bearing, which is arranged in the at least one through hole and is designed for elastically mounting a unit, preferably having a traction battery, on the crossbeam.
  • the integration of the at least one elastomer bearing in the at least one through-hole advantageously enables a high connection rigidity around the at least one elastomer bearing (large surface contact), whereby a very heavy unit can also be elastically mounted, for example.
  • a very heavy unit can also be elastically mounted, for example.
  • sensitive components of the unit can be decoupled from vibration influences from the chassis and the deformations from the elasticity of the ladder frame.
  • the integration of the at least one elastomeric bearing in the at least one through hole of the carrier body allows for a relatively flat crossbeam, so that even large assemblies can be mounted elastically and hanging on the at least one elastomeric bearing of the crossbeam. This can also enable new degrees of freedom when assembling very large assemblies, with the cross member, for example, first being preassembled on the assembly and then being attached to the ladder frame together with the assembly.
  • the at least one elastomeric bearing is pressed into the at least one through hole and is preferably additionally fastened to the elongate carrier body by means of a screw connection.
  • a particularly durable and at the same time space-saving attachment of the elastomeric bearing can preferably be made possible.

  • the at least one through-hole is designed as an elongate hole, which is preferably aligned along a transverse axis of the elongate carrier body.
  • the elongated hole can provide an enlarged installation space for the elastomer bearing without the carrier body having to be enlarged for this purpose.
  • a relatively large elastomeric bearing can thus preferably be accommodated in the slot, with which ultimately a relatively heavy assembly can also be mounted.
  • the connection rigidity of the elastomeric bearing can also advantageously be increased by the elongated hole.
  • the elongate carrier body has an enlarged cross section and/or an increased wall thickness in the area of the at least one through hole.
  • a load introduction via the elastomeric bearing into the elongated support body can preferably be improved in this way, and a relatively heavy unit can thus also be mounted on the cross member.
  • the elongate carrier body is designed as a solid body or with a closed profile. This advantageously makes it possible for the elastomeric bearing to be held very securely in the elongate carrier body, in particular when it is pressed in.

  • the at least one elastomeric bearing can preferably be accommodated in the at least one through-hole essentially along an entire height of the at least one elastomeric bearing.
  • a height of the at least one elastomeric bearing may essentially correspond to a length of the at least one through hole.
  • the at least one through hole has a first through hole and a second through hole.

  • the elongate support body extends from a first end region via a middle region to a second end region (e.g. along a longitudinal axis of the support body).
  • the central area has a smaller cross-section than the first end area and the second end area.
  • the first through hole is arranged in the first end area and the second through hole is arranged in the second end area.
  • Enlarged through-holes can preferably be made possible in this way, which means that larger elastomer bearings are made possible, which in turn make it possible to mount a relatively heavy unit.
  • the relatively heavy unit typically requires a large amount of space, which can be made possible by arranging the elastomeric bearings in the end areas.
  • a connection of the opposite longitudinal outer sides of the assembly to the elastomer bearing is thus preferably made possible, in which case the assembly can nevertheless be relatively wide.
  • the central area, the first end area and the second end area together form an I-shape (I-with-serifs-shape) in a plan view.

  • the cross member mounting brackets may be pre-assembled to the main side members.
  • the support body can then be fastened to the fastening brackets, preferably already together with the unit mounted on it. When assembled in the ladder frame, the mounting brackets and the support body can together form the cross member.
  • the elongate support body rests on the first attachment bracket of the cross member and the second attachment bracket of the cross member.
  • the support body can be made very long, which can have an advantageous effect on the connection of the unit to opposite ends of the support body and on the introduction of the loads caused by the unit in the main longitudinal member.
  • the first fastening section is arranged on both sides of the first through hole and/or the first elastomeric bearing with respect to a transverse axis of the carrier body, preferably viewed overlapping in a direction of the transverse axis.
  • the second fastening section can be arranged on both sides of the second through-hole and/or the second elastomeric bearing with respect to a transverse axis of the carrier body, preferably viewed overlapping in a direction of the transverse axis. This preferably allows the elastomer bearings to be placed very far outside on the elongated support body, which, as already explained, is advantageous for connecting a large, heavy unit and can also improve the introduction of force into the main longitudinal member.
  • a further aspect of the present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle, preferably a utility vehicle (eg truck or bus).

  • one assembly step on the assembly line can be saved by pre-assembling the cross member on the unit.
  • Undesirable stresses in the elastomeric mounts during assembly can also preferably be prevented in this way, since frame tolerances and frame deformations of the ladder frame have no effect when the unit is attached to the elastomeric mounts in the cross member.
  • the mounting includes lowering the pre-assembly unit between two parallel main rails of the ladder frame until the elongate support body of the cross member rests on attachment brackets attached to the inside of the two parallel main rails, and attaching the elongate support body to the attachment brackets attached to the inside of the two parallel main rails on.
