Description

Vehicle with body support structure and build plate

The present invention relates to a vehicle having a body support structure and a plurality of body structures for fixing the assembly plate for the vehicle.

It is known from DE 43 21 752 C1 to fix the body part in the form of a vehicle door by hinge arrangement in the B-pillar of the vehicle body support structure of the vehicle. Body parts for joining a vehicle door, such as a front or rear wing, are fixed to the body support structure in certain circumstances, so that the various body parts are not precisely arranged with each other and different gap tolerances between adjacent body parts As a result, the overall shape in which the body shells are not identical is formed.

DE 41 15 755 A1 discloses a vehicle with a bumper which is fixed to the vehicle by an adjustable mount to avoid damaging the body when the bumper is installed. The mount, in turn, has a guide that is interchangeable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and interacts with the slide portion installed in the bumper. After the bumper is installed, the bumper slides directly at the adjacent end of the vehicle body, so that the bumper moves in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle of the type described above which provides a body panel which is flat and evenly arranged.

The object is that the assembly plate is connected to the vehicle body support structure between at least two mutually adjacent vehicle body parts, and the assembly plate has at least one adjusting portion to which at least one adjacent vehicle body portion can be connected. The solution according to the invention makes it possible to arrange the body parts adjacent to each other uniformly, thereby adapting the installation position of the bumper and the headride. The result is always the same gap size and object, the same movable joints and beads between adjacent parts. In addition, a gap size of the same size is formed between all adjacent body parts. Since the movable body portion is properly adjusted in advance during assembly in the vehicle body support structure, readjustment of the movable body portion, such as the vehicle door rear lid or tailgate, is unnecessary.

In an embodiment of the invention, the prefabricated plate has a position receptacle fixed to the support structure side and centered with respect to the hinge by placing a centering element corresponding to the hinge of the pivotable vehicle body of the vehicle. Thus, the hinge forms a steel sheet for the assembly plate, thereby enabling accurate placement of the assembly plate with respect to the vehicle body support structure. In particular, the side door appears as a pivotable body part. However, tailgate bonnets and other pivoting components can function as corresponding bodywork components.

In the practice of the present invention, a right outwardly centering pin is provided at each hinge as a centering element and a hole socket is formed in the assembly plate. As a result, the correct positioning relative to the hinge is already achieved when the assembly plate is joined. Positioning by centering pins and sockets ensures accurate positioning in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

In an embodiment of the invention, a support for the support of the assembly plate in the vertical direction of the vehicle with respect to the support portion supported by the support stop of the assembly plate is provided in the hinge. Supports and support stops provide placement and support in the vehicle's vertical direction with respect to the body support structure.

In an embodiment of the present invention, it is fixed to the vehicle body support structure by a plurality of fixing points distributed over the entire length of the steel sheet. The corresponding fastening element secures the assembly plate at each disposed end and at the same time allows the assembly plate to be firmly fixed relative to the body support structure in the transverse direction of the vehicle.

In an embodiment of the invention, the assembly plate has at least one latching position for connecting the adjacent vehicle body part by a latching connection. As a result, the adjacent bodywork parts are fixed, in part, without additional fastening elements.

In an embodiment of the invention, the assembly plate is fixed at a fixed point of the door hinge at the side door of the vehicle. After all, the existing anchor point provides a simple way to fix the assembly plate.

In an embodiment of the invention, the assembly plate is fixed at the fixing point with the aid of the fixing element for the door hinge in the vehicle body support structure. As a result, since the assembly plate is simply fixed to the vehicle body supporting structure such as the door hinge, no additional fixing element is required to fix the assembly plate.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the assembly plate provides a fixing element for fixing to at least one certified body portion. As a result, the prefabricated plate has two functions in that it is provided on the one hand to fix the adjacent car body part or element.

In an embodiment of the invention, the fixing element has a guide for sliding to at least one adjacent vehicle body part. By this guide the assigned engagement direction is already determined for the adjacent bodywork part, which allows for the correct engagement with respect to the assembly plate.

In an embodiment of the invention, at the slide end a latching position for securing the at least one vehicle body part in a secure manner is assigned to the fastening element. The at least one body portion that eventually slips is sufficiently secured to the body support structure without the use of additional fasteners. Rather, the vehicle body portion is supported at the slide end relative to the adjustment portion of the assembly plate.

In a refinement of the invention the prefabricated plate is produced from a single element made of a fired body. As a result, the prefabricated plate is simple, cost effective and mass produced.
