Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mounting device for an electrical unit, in particular an electrical control or regulating unit for an electromechanical assembly, as generically defined by the preamble to the main claim.
  • a mounting device for an electrical unit having at least one mounting element which is anchored to the part that supports the electrical unit and in the housing of the electrical unit, is advantageously further embodied according to the invention in that a matching geometric distribution of the devices for receiving the mounting elements is made on the housing and on the parts that support the housing, in such a way that the devices on the unit, in the installation position, each face some of the devices on the supporting part.
  • mounting concepts for motor vehicle control units for instance can be realized in a simple and economical way in a modular system, since control units with various embodiments, for instance in a tight or nontight design and in various sizes can be connected to the vehicle by way of the same mechanical interface. Because the mounting device is located inside the housing contour of the unit, customer-specific installation dimensions can easily be adhered to. Because the mounting points are made uniform regardless of the embodiment of the control unit, with always the same bore spacings, the same screw dome heights, and the same kinds of screws, for instance, as mounting elements, there is no need to have a large number of different variant mountings.
  • the devices on the housing are screw-in domes, into which self-tapping screws, as mounting elements, can be screwed.
  • self-tapping screws as mounting elements
  • the circuit elements of the control unit are retained on the housing with fasteners that are separate from the mounting elements for the attachment to the supporting parts.
  • the clamping mechanism in the interior of the housing and having the printed circuit board of the circuit arrangement remains untouched by vibration loads fed in via the separate mounting device, and as a result the vibration strength of the unit is improved.
  • the final assembly of the electrical unit can advantageously be done before the assembly of any other angle brackets that may be needed, so that once again considerable expense for tool holders can be eliminated.
  • an overall cost reduction from the simplified development and testing of the housings can be achieved, and lower production costs arise because of the reduction in the number of parts, because flexible standard mounting concepts that suit many customers are employed and because of the lower setup costs for what is overall a simplified apparatus.
  • FIG. 1 a view of an electrical control or regulating unit for mounting on a body part of a vehicle, showing a first arrangement of mounting elements
  • FIG. 2 a view of an electrical control or regulating unit for mounting on a body part of a vehicle, showing a second arrangement of mounting elements;
  • FIG. 3 a joint illustration of various retaining parts for mounting the housings of the units.
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded view of an arrangement having a control unit 1 , of which here only the housing 2 and a multipoint connector 3 , for electrically connecting electrical terminals of the control unit 1 to the electromechanical or other electronic assemblies, not shown here, that are to be controlled in a motor vehicle, are visible.
  • the housing 2 or a diecast cap of the housing 2 , has screw domes 5 , which can be drilled, cut or cast, for receiving self-tapping or standardized metric screws 4 as mounting elements.
  • a supporting part 6 which either is part of a sheet-metal motor vehicle body part or is an angle bracket, has a predetermined arrangement of receiving holes through which the screws 4 can be passed for securing the housing 2 to the supporting part 6 . Because of the screw points 5 on the housing and the holes 7 on the supporting part 6 , which are all always located at the same point, a mechanical standard interface is formed, with which either different control units 1 , for instance tight or nontight units, or units with different overall widths can be assembled in the same screwing station of a production system.
  • FIG. 3 shows still other different exemplary embodiments of retaining parts 10 , 11 and 12 , which once again all have the mechanical standard interface with the receiving holes 7 for the mounting elements 4 of FIGS. 1 and 2 .
