MODULE AVANT D'UNE CAROSSERIE DE VEHICULEFRONT MODULE OF A VEHICLE BODY
AUTOMOBILEAUTOMOBILE
L'invention concerne un module avant d'une carrosserie de véhicule automobile, qui comprend un support de montage pour recevoir et fixer des composants du véhicule, tels que le radiateur, le condenseur ou les phares. The invention relates to a front module of a motor vehicle body, which comprises a mounting bracket for receiving and fixing vehicle components, such as the radiator, the condenser or the headlights.
Dans des modules avant du type de construction connu, le support de montage comprend habituellement une structure porteuse constituée de divers composants métalliques qui sont intégrés transversalement entre des supports longitudinaux dans la zone avant de la carrosserie du véhicule automobile. On peut fixer sur le support de montage différents composants du véhicule, comme par exemple un radiateur, un condenseur ou également des phares. Après l'assemblage des composants du véhicule, l'ensemble du support de montage est mis en place sous forme de module avant dans la zone avant du véhicule, et il y est fixé. Habituellement, le radiateur se trouve dans la zone médiane centrale du support de montage. In prior modules of the known type of construction, the mounting support usually comprises a carrier structure consisting of various metal components which are integrated transversely between longitudinal supports in the front area of the bodywork of the motor vehicle. It is possible to fix on the mounting bracket various components of the vehicle, such as a radiator, a condenser or also headlights. After assembly of the vehicle components, the entire mounting bracket is set up as a front module in the front area of the vehicle, and is attached thereto. Usually, the radiator is in the central median area of the mounting bracket.
De plus, dans la zone avant d'un véhicule automobile sont logés en outre différents réservoirs à liquide, par exemple pour le réfrigérant, l'huile moteur ou l'eau de lave-glace. Ceux-ci exigent un volume structurel nécessaire en correspondance de leur taille dans la zone avant et doivent être adaptés à d'autres dispositifs du véhicule quant à leur position et à leur géométrie. In addition, in the front area of a motor vehicle are further housed different liquid tanks, for example for refrigerant, engine oil or windshield washer fluid. These require a necessary structural volume corresponding to their size in the front zone and must be adapted to other devices of the vehicle as to their position and their geometry.
L'objectif sous-jacent à l'invention est de réaliser un module avant comportant un support de montage dont la fonctionnalité est améliorée. The objective underlying the invention is to provide a front module comprising a mounting bracket whose functionality is improved.
Cet objectif est atteint par un module avant d'une carrosserie de véhicule automobile, qui comprend un support de montage pour recevoir et fixer des composants du véhicule, tels que le radiateur, le condenseur ou les phares, caractérisé en ce que le support de montage est réalisé au moins partiellement sous forme de réservoir à liquide. This objective is achieved by a front module of a motor vehicle body, which comprises a mounting bracket for receiving and fixing vehicle components, such as the radiator, the condenser or the headlights, characterized in that the mounting bracket is at least partially in the form of a liquid reservoir.
Conformément à l'invention, le support de montage présente une structure creuse, qui est conçue de telle sorte qu'un ou plusieurs 2866856 2 liquides nécessaires pour le fonctionnement d'un véhicule automobile, tels que le réfrigérant, l'huile moteur ou l'eau de lave-glace peuvent être reçus dans le support de montage. Outre la rigidification de la zone avant et la réception des divers composants du véhicule, le support de montage remplit une autre fonction, qui est le stockage d'au moins un liquide. Ceci mène à une économie de place dans la zone d'extrémité avant d'un véhicule automobile. Outre pour le stockage, on peut utiliser la surface du support de montage en supplément au refroidissement ou au filtrage d'un liquide. Ici, on envisage tout particulièrement le refroidissement supplémentaire du réfrigérant dans le circuit de refroidissement du véhicule automobile. According to the invention, the mounting bracket has a hollow structure, which is designed such that one or more liquids necessary for the operation of a motor vehicle, such as the coolant, the engine oil or the engine. windshield water can be received in the mounting bracket. In addition to stiffening the front area and receiving the various components of the vehicle, the mounting bracket performs another function, which is the storage of at least one liquid. This leads to a saving of space in the front end area of a motor vehicle. In addition to storage, the surface of the mounting bracket may be used in addition to cooling or filtering a liquid. Here, the additional cooling of the refrigerant in the cooling circuit of the motor vehicle is particularly contemplated.
Le ou les réservoirs à liquide dans le support de montage peuvent être utilisés pour le stockage primaire ou secondaire de liquide. Lors d'un stockage secondaire, le réservoir à liquide dans le support de montage est utilisé en supplément au réservoir à liquide principal, par exemple la cuve à huile du moteur. Dans ce cas, le réservoir à liquide principal et le réservoir à liquide dans le support de montage sont en liaison et montés en parallèle. Grâce au réservoir à liquide dans le support de montage, on crée un réservoir supplémentaire pour un liquide, tel que l'huile moteur. Ceci est avantageux par exemple dans le cas de grands véhicules comprenant de grands moteurs, en particulier lorsque le volume structurel disponible pour la cuve à huile du moteur ne suffit pas pour recevoir les grandes quantités nécessaires d'huile moteur. The liquid reservoir (s) in the mounting bracket can be used for primary or secondary liquid storage. During a secondary storage, the liquid tank in the mounting bracket is used in addition to the main liquid tank, for example the engine oil tank. In this case, the main liquid reservoir and the liquid reservoir in the mounting bracket are connected and connected in parallel. With the liquid reservoir in the mounting bracket, an additional reservoir for a liquid, such as engine oil, is created. This is advantageous for example in the case of large vehicles comprising large engines, particularly when the available structural volume for the engine oil tank is not sufficient to receive the necessary large amounts of engine oil.
Lors d'un stockage primaire, le réservoir à liquide dans le support de montage sert de réservoir à liquide principal dans lequel est stocké le liquide respectif, par exemple l'eau de lave-glace. On peut omettre le réservoir à liquide séparé par ailleurs nécessaire dans la zone avant ou dans le compartiment moteur. During primary storage, the liquid reservoir in the mounting bracket serves as a main liquid reservoir in which the respective liquid is stored, for example windshield washer fluid. The separate liquid reservoir which is otherwise required in the forward area or in the engine compartment may be omitted.
Dans ce contexte, le support de montage ou le réservoir à liquide est pourvu d'au moins une ouverture de remplissage et/ou de sortie, selon l'invention. Pour transporter le liquide hors du réservoir à liquide dans le support de montage, une pompe est associée à celui-ci. In this context, the mounting bracket or the liquid reservoir is provided with at least one filling opening and / or outlet, according to the invention. To transport the liquid out of the liquid tank into the mounting bracket, a pump is associated therewith.
Conformément à l'invention, le support de montage est constitué par au moins un corps creux mis en forme par des techniques d'hydroformage, par exemple un tube. La mise en forme par des techniques 2866856 3 d'hydroformage est particulièrement rationnelle et permet une configuration de forme complexe du support de montage. Dans ce cas, on produit un ou plusieurs réservoirs à liquide dans le support de montage, par exemple par évasement partiel du corps creux par des techniques d'hydroformage. According to the invention, the mounting support is constituted by at least one hollow body shaped by hydroforming techniques, for example a tube. The shaping by hydroforming techniques is particularly rational and allows a complex shape configuration of the mounting bracket. In this case, one or more liquid reservoirs are produced in the mounting bracket, for example by partial expansion of the hollow body by hydroforming techniques.
Fondamentalement, le support de montage peut également être formé en mode de construction à coques par divers corps de coque assemblés entre eux de façon étanche aux liquides. Basically, the mounting bracket can also be formed in shell construction mode by various hull bodies assembled together in a liquid-tight manner.
L'invention sera décrite plus en détail dans ce qui suit en se rapportant au dessin. The invention will be described in more detail in the following with reference to the drawing.
Le dessin montre en illustration schématique un module avant pour une carrosserie de véhicule automobile. Le module avant comprend un support de montage 1. Le support de montage 1 sert de structure portante et à recevoir ou à fixer des composants du véhicule, tels que le radiateur 2, le condenseur 3 ou les phares 4. Après l'assemblage des composants de véhicule 2 à 4, le support de montage 1 est mis en place sous forme de module avant complètement pré-assemblé dans la zone avant du véhicule automobile, et il y est fixé. The drawing shows a schematic illustration of a front module for a motor vehicle body. The front module comprises a mounting bracket 1. The mounting bracket 1 serves as a supporting structure and to receive or fix vehicle components, such as the radiator 2, the condenser 3 or the headlights 4. After assembling the components from vehicle 2 to 4, the mounting bracket 1 is set up as a front module completely pre-assembled in the front area of the motor vehicle, and it is fixed.
Le support de montage 1 est constitué par deux corps creux 5, 6 cintrés plusieurs fois et mis en forme par des techniques d'hydroformage. The mounting bracket 1 is constituted by two hollow bodies 5, 6 bent several times and shaped by hydroforming techniques.
Ceux-ci sont réalisés sous forme de réservoirs à liquide 7, 8 et servent à recevoir des liquides nécessaires pour le fonctionnement du véhicule automobile, tels que le réfrigérant, l'huile moteur ou l'eau de laveglace. These are made in the form of liquid tanks 7, 8 and serve to receive liquids necessary for the operation of the motor vehicle, such as refrigerant, engine oil or washwater.
Pour remplir le réservoir à liquide 8, on prévoit une ouverture de remplissage 9. De plus, on a associé au réservoir à liquide 8 du support de montage 1 une pompe 10 pour transporter le liquide dans un circuit de liquide. Le prélèvement du liquide stocké dans le réservoir à liquide 8 s'effectue via une ouverture de sortie 11. De cette manière, on peut par exemple stocker un réfrigérant dans le réservoir à liquide 8 et le transporter dans le circuit de réfrigérant via la pompe 10 et via l'ouverture de sortie 11. Dans ce cas, la surface du support de montage 1 ou du réservoir à liquide 8 peut être utilisée en supplément au refroidissement du réfrigérant. To fill the liquid reservoir 8, a filling opening 9 is provided. In addition, a pump 10 has been associated with the liquid reservoir 8 of the mounting bracket 1 for transporting the liquid in a liquid circuit. The sampling of the liquid stored in the liquid reservoir 8 is carried out via an outlet opening 11. In this way, it is possible, for example, to store a refrigerant in the liquid reservoir 8 and transport it in the refrigerant circuit via the pump 10 and via the outlet opening 11. In this case, the surface of the mounting bracket 1 or the liquid tank 8 may be used in addition to cooling the refrigerant.
2866856 4 Bien entendu, le réservoir à liquide 8 peut également servir à recevoir de l'eau de lavage pour l'installation de lave-glace. Of course, the liquid reservoir 8 can also be used to receive wash water for the washer system.
Le réservoir à liquide 7 sert de réservoir supplémentaire et est ici en liaison avec un réservoir à liquide principal séparé non illustré. The liquid reservoir 7 serves as an additional reservoir and is here in connection with a separate main liquid reservoir not shown.
