KraftfahrzeugMotor vehicle
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einer einen Fußraum nach vorn hin begrenzenden Stirnwand mit einer Stirnwandöffnung, welche durch eine vom Fahrzeug¬ innenraum her mit einem Halteflansch gegen den Rand der Stirnwandöffnung verschraubte Schließplatte verschlos¬ sen ist, die einen Teil eines Cockpitmoduls bildet und insbesondere Fahrzeugpedale haltert, und bei dem ober¬ halb der Stirnwand ein von einer Windschutzscheibe her¬ unterlaufendes Wasser abführender und einen Motorraum zwischen Motorhaube und der Windschutzscheibe ab¬ schließender, nach vorn hin durch eine Schottwand be¬ grenzter Wasserkasten angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a front wall which delimits a footwell to the front and has an end wall opening which is closed by a locking plate screwed from the vehicle interior with a retaining flange against the edge of the front wall opening, which forms part of a cockpit module and in particular vehicle pedals holds, and in which above the end wall a water draining from a windshield draining water and closing off an engine compartment between the bonnet and the windshield is arranged, bounded towards the front by a bulkhead.
Ein Kraftfahrzeug der vorstehenden Art ist Gegenstand der DE-C-31 49 083. Bei dem Kraftfahrzeug gemäß dieser Schrift trägt die einen Bestandteil des Cockpitmoduls bildende Schließplatte die Pedale, weist Öffnungen für Bowdenzüge und Kabelsätze, das Bremssystem und den Len¬ kungsdurchtritt auf. Der Sinn einer solchen Gestaltung liegt vor allem darin, daß das Cockpitmodul außerhalb des Kraftfahrzeugs montiert werden und dann als Bauein¬ heit in die Karosserie eingefahren werden kann, so daß im Fahrgastraum des Kraftfahrzeugs keine Montagearbei¬ ten verrichtet werden müssen.A motor vehicle of the above type is the subject of DE-C-31 49 083. In the motor vehicle according to this document, the locking plate forming part of the cockpit module carries the pedals, has openings for Bowden cables and cable sets, the braking system and the steering passage. The purpose of such a design is, above all, that the cockpit module can be mounted outside the motor vehicle and then inserted into the body as a unit, so that no assembly work has to be carried out in the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.
Nachteilig bei dem bekannten Kraftfahrzeug ist es, daß die Schließplatte kleinflächig ausgebildet ist und sich nur in die Fahrzeughälfte erstreckt, in welcher sich das Lenkrad befindet. Deshalb muß man für Fahrzeuge mit Rechtslenkung und Linkslenkung die Stirnwand unter¬ schiedlich ausbilden, damit je nach Bedarf die durch die Schließplatte zu verschließende Stirnwandöffnung sich in der rechten oder linken Fahrzeugseite befindet.A disadvantage of the known motor vehicle is that the locking plate has a small area and only extends into the half of the vehicle in which the steering wheel is located. Therefore, for vehicles with right-hand drive and left-hand drive, the end wall must be designed differently, so that the through wall as required the front panel opening to be closed is located in the right or left side of the vehicle.
Bei einem derzeit verbreiteten Kraftfahrzeug ist auch schon eine Schließplatte vorgesehen, welche nahezu über die gesamte Fahrzeugbreite von einem Radhaus zum ande¬ ren bis unterhalb des Wasserkastens reicht. Durch die¬ sen Wasserkasten sind die oberen Schraubverbindungen der Schließplatte schlecht erreichbar, so daß insbeson- dere bei Fahrzeugen mit weit nach vorn geführter Wind¬ schutzscheibe Montageprobleme auftreten. Auch ist die Schließplatte infolge der Platzbeschränkung durch den Wasserkasten nicht groß genug, um in allen Fällen die erforderlichen Bauteile an ihr zu befestigen und danach das Cockpitmodul mit der Schließplatte zu montieren.In a motor vehicle that is currently widespread, a locking plate is already provided, which extends almost across the entire width of the vehicle from one wheel house to the other and below the water tank. The upper screw connections of the locking plate are difficult to reach through this water box, so that assembly problems occur in particular in vehicles with the windshield extending far forward. Also, the striker plate is not large enough due to the space constraint by the water box to attach the necessary components to it in all cases and then mount the cockpit module with the striker plate.
Wie die DE-C-33 30 140 zeigt, ist es bei Kraftfahrzeu¬ gen auch schon bekannt, ein Cockpitmodul mit einer kom¬ pletten Stirnwand zu versehen, welche sich über die ge- samte Breite des Kraftfahrzeugs erstreckt. Diese Stirn¬ wand ist einstückig mit dem Wasserkasten ausgebildet und trägt zusätzlich zu den Pedalen auch den Brems- druckgeber. Bei der Montage des Kraftfahrzeugs fährt man das Cockpitmodul von oben her durch die Windschutz- scheibenδffnung in die Karosserie ein und verbindet dann die Stirnwand an ihren Seiten durch Verschrau- bungen und Klebekanalverbindungen mit der Karosserie. Bei einem solchen Kraftfahrzeug kann man für Rechts- oder Linkslenkung das Cockpitmodul mit der Stirnwand unterschiedlich gestalten, die übrige Karosserie jedoch immer gleich ausführen. Nachteilig bei einer solchen Karosserie ist jedoch, daß das Cockpit und die Wind¬ schutzscheibenöffnung so bemessen sein müssen, daß das Einfahren von oben möglich wird. Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, ein Kraft¬ fahrzeug der eingangs genannten Art so zu gestalten, daß ihre in eine Stirnwandöffnung einzusetzende Schließplatte möglichst großflächig ausgebildet und ihre Verschraubungen mit der Stirnwand möglichst gut erreichbar sind.As DE-C-33 30 140 shows, it is already known in motor vehicles to provide a cockpit module with a complete front wall which extends over the entire width of the motor vehicle. This end wall is formed in one piece with the water tank and, in addition to the pedals, also carries the brake pressure sensor. When assembling the motor vehicle, the cockpit module is inserted into the body from above through the windshield opening and then the ends of the front wall are connected to the body by means of screw connections and adhesive channel connections. In such a motor vehicle, the cockpit module with the front wall can be designed differently for right-hand or left-hand drive, but the rest of the bodywork can always be designed in the same way. A disadvantage of such a body, however, is that the cockpit and the windshield opening must be dimensioned in such a way that entry from above is possible. The invention is based on the problem of designing a motor vehicle of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that its locking plate to be inserted into an end wall opening is of the largest possible area and its screw connections to the end wall are as easily accessible as possible.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Schließplatte annähernd von einem Radhaus zum ande- ren reicht und sie im oberen Bereich zumindest einen Teilbereich des Wasserkastens bildet.This problem is solved according to the invention in that the closing plate extends approximately from one wheel house to the other and forms at least a partial area of the water box in the upper area.
Weil die Schließplatte zugleich zumindest einen Teil des Wasserkastens bildet, brauchen unmittelbar unter- halb des Wasserkastens keine Verschraubungen vorgesehen zu sein, welche bei der Montage schwer zu erreichen sind. Weiterhin steht unterhalb des Wasserkastens die gesamte Fläche der Schließplatte für die Anordnung von Bauteilen zur Verfügung. Da ein Teil des Wasserkastens mit der Schließplatte eine Einheit bildet, kann in die¬ sem Teil des Wasserkastens eine Luftansaugöffnung für das Heizungssystem vorgesehen werden, so daß auch der entsprechende Teil des Heizungssystems außerhalb des Kraftfahrzeugs vollständig montiert werden kann.Because the locking plate also forms at least part of the water tank, no screw connections need to be provided directly below the water tank, which are difficult to reach during assembly. Furthermore, the entire surface of the locking plate is available below the water box for the arrangement of components. Since part of the water box forms a unit with the closing plate, an air intake opening for the heating system can be provided in this part of the water box, so that the corresponding part of the heating system can also be fully assembled outside the motor vehicle.
Besonders einfach ist das Kraftfahrzeug ausgebildet, wenn gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfin¬ dung die Schließplatte von der Seite gesehen wannenför- mig ausgebildet ist und ein oberer, durch die Stirn- wandöffnung in Richtung des Motorraums führender Wand¬ bereich der Schließplatte den Teilbereich des Wasser¬ kastens bildet.The motor vehicle is particularly simple if, according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the striker plate is trough-shaped when viewed from the side and an upper wall region of the striker plate, which leads through the front wall opening in the direction of the engine compartment, the partial area of the water ¬ box forms.
Die Schließplatte stellt eine steife Querverbindung im Kraftfahrzeug dar und erhöht dadurch seine Steifigkeit wesentlich, wenn gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die Schließplatte an ihrer dem Motorraum zu¬ gewandten Seite einen über einen ortsfesten Steg im Mo¬ torraum greifenden Klebekanal aufweist.The locking plate represents a rigid cross-connection in the motor vehicle and thereby increases its rigidity It is essential if, according to another embodiment of the invention, the closing plate on its side facing the engine compartment has an adhesive channel which extends over a fixed web in the engine compartment.
Ganz besonders verwindungsarm wird die Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeugs, wenn der Klebekanal horizontal ausge¬ richtet ist und über die gesamte Breite der Schlie߬ platte verläuft und wenn im Motorraum von einer Fahr- zeugseite zur anderen eine Schottwand verläuft, welche den waagerecht ausgerichteten, in den Klebekanal ein¬ greifenden Steg aufweist.The body of the motor vehicle becomes particularly low in torsion when the adhesive channel is oriented horizontally and extends over the entire width of the locking plate and when a bulkhead in the engine compartment runs from one side of the vehicle to the other, which divides the horizontally aligned one into the adhesive channel engaging web.
Auch die Schottwand kann zur Aussteifung der Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeugs dienen, wenn die Schottwand an den Fahrzeugseiten fest mit der Fahrzeugstruktur ver¬ schweißt ist.The bulkhead can also serve to stiffen the body of the motor vehicle if the bulkhead is firmly welded to the vehicle structure on the vehicle sides.
Besonders einfach ist die Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeugs gestaltet, wenn die Schottwand eine Baueinheit mit der Schließplatte bildet.The body of the motor vehicle is particularly simple if the bulkhead forms a structural unit with the closing plate.
Statt eine Klebeverbindung über die gesamte Breite der Schließplatte laufen zu lassen, ist es gemäß einer an- deren Weiterbildung der Erfindung auch möglich, daß an jeder Seite der Schließplatte ein Klebekanal vorgesehen ist, welcher jeweils über einen Verbindungssteg eines im Bereich des jeweiligen Federbeindomes angeschweißten Halteteils greift.Instead of having an adhesive connection run over the entire width of the locking plate, it is also possible, according to another development of the invention, that an adhesive channel is provided on each side of the locking plate, which is in each case connected via a connecting web of a holding part welded in the region of the respective spring strut dome takes hold.
Die Abdichtung des Motorraums zum Luftraum des Wasser¬ kastens hin kann auf einfache Weise dadurch erfolgen, daß oberhalb der Schottwand von einer Fahrzeugseite zur anderen ein Querträger verläuft, welcher mit seiner Un- terseite mit einer Dichtung über die Schottwand greift und an seiner Oberseite eine Motorhaubendichtung trägt .The engine compartment can be sealed off from the air space of the water tank in a simple manner by a cross member running above the bulkhead from one side of the vehicle to the other. grips over the bulkhead with a seal and carries a bonnet seal on its top.
Die Montage und Reparatur des Kraftfahrzeugs ist beson- ders einfach, wenn der Querträger lösbar an den Feder¬ beindomen durch Schrauben verbunden ist.The assembly and repair of the motor vehicle is particularly simple if the cross member is detachably connected to the spring domes by screws.
Im Kraftfahrzeug verlaufende Kabel können gut geschützt untergebracht werden, wenn der Querträger als Kabel- kanal ausgebildet ist.Cables running in the motor vehicle can be accommodated in a well-protected manner if the cross member is designed as a cable duct.

Die Figur 1 zeigt von der Karosserie eines Kraftfahr- zeugs einen Teilbereich eines Motorraumes 1, in dem man zwei Radhäuser 2, 3 mit jeweils einem Federbeindom 4, 5 erkennt . Unterhalb einer Frontscheibenöffnung 6 ver¬ läuft von einer Fahrzeugseite zur anderen eine Stirn¬ wand 7 mit einer großflächigen Stirnwandöffnung 8, wel- ehe ebenfalls nahezu von einer Fahrzeugseite zur ande¬ ren reicht.FIG. 1 shows a partial area of an engine compartment 1 of the body of a motor vehicle, in which two wheelhouses 2, 3, each with a spring strut 4, 5, can be seen. Below a windshield opening 6 runs from one vehicle side to the other an end wall 7 with a large front wall opening 8, which also extends almost from one side of the vehicle to the other.
Vor der Stirnwand 7 verläuft quer zum Motorraum 1 eine Schottwand 9, welche an beiden Fahrzeugseiten im Be- reich der Federbeindome 4, 5 mit der Fahrzeugstruktur verschweißt ist. Diese Schottwand 9 ist Teil eines in etwa L-förmigen Profils, welches einen in etwa waage¬ recht zur Stirnwand 7 hin gerichteten Steg 10 hat, der an den Stirnwandflanken angeschweißt wird.A bulkhead 9, which is welded to the vehicle structure on both sides of the strut domes 4, 5, runs in front of the end wall 7 transversely to the engine compartment 1. This bulkhead 9 is part of an approximately L-shaped profile which has a web 10 which is directed approximately horizontally towards the end wall 7 and which is welded to the end wall flanks.
Die Figur 2 läßt erkennen, daß die Stirnwandöffnung 8 in der Stirnwand 7 durch eine wannenförmige Schlie߬ platte 11 verschlossen ist, welche durch Schrauben 12, 13 mit der Stirnwand 7 verbunden ist. Dabei sind alle Schraubstellen vom Motorraum 1 aus zu erreichen. Die Schließplatte 11 hat einen schräg in den Motorraum 1 führenden Wandbereich 14, welcher zusammen mit der Schottwand 9 und dem Steg 10 einen Wasserkasten 15 bil¬ det, der unterhalb einer Windschutzscheibe 16 quer im Fahrzeug verläuft. Die Verbindung zwischen der Schlie߬ platte 11 und dem Steg 10 erfolgt dadurch, daß die Schließplatte 11 einen nach vorn weisenden Klebekanal 17 hat, in welchen der Steg 10 eintaucht und der vor der Montage der Schließplatte 11 mit Kleber gefüllt wird. In Figur 3 ist hinter der Stirnwandöffnung 8 die Schließplatte 11 mit dem Klebekanal 17 zu erkennen, welcher nach Montage über den Steg 10 der Schottwand 9 greift, so daß der Wasserkasten 15 entsteht. Die Figur 3 verdeutlicht weiterhin, daß die Schottwand 9 im Be¬ reich des Federbeindomes 4 an diesem durch eine Schweißverbindung gehalten ist .FIG. 2 shows that the end wall opening 8 in the end wall 7 is closed by a trough-shaped closing plate 11 which is connected to the end wall 7 by screws 12, 13. All screw points can be reached from engine compartment 1. The closing plate 11 has a wall region 14 leading obliquely into the engine compartment 1, which together with the bulkhead 9 and the web 10 forms a water box 15 which runs transversely in the vehicle below a windshield 16. The connection between the locking plate 11 and the web 10 takes place in that the locking plate 11 has a forward-facing adhesive channel 17, into which the web 10 is immersed and which is filled with adhesive before the mounting of the locking plate 11. In Figure 3, the closing plate 11 with the adhesive channel 17 can be seen behind the front wall opening 8, which engages over the web 10 of the bulkhead 9, so that the water tank 15 is formed. FIG. 3 further illustrates that the bulkhead wall 9 is held on the spring strut dome 4 by a welded connection.
Bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 4 bildet die Schott- wand 9 einen Teil der Schließplatte 11, so daß die Schließplatte 11 schon vor ihrem Einbau in das Kraft¬ fahrzeug einen Wasserkasten 15 hat. Zum kraftschlüssi¬ gen Verbinden der Schließplatte 11 mit der Fahrzeug- Struktur ist an jeder ihrer Seite ein Klebekanal 18 ausgebildet, welcher über einen zur Schließplatte 11 hin gerichteten, schräg zur Fahrzeugmitte hin abfallen¬ den Verbindungssteg 19 greift. Dieser Verbindungssteg 19 ist an einem Halteteil 20 vorgesehen, welches am Fe- derbeindom 4 angeschweißt wurde.In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, the bulkhead 9 forms part of the closing plate 11, so that the closing plate 11 has a water tank 15 even before it is installed in the motor vehicle. For the non-positive connection of the locking plate 11 to the vehicle structure, an adhesive channel 18 is formed on each of its sides, which engages over a connecting web 19 directed towards the locking plate 11 and sloping towards the center of the vehicle. This connecting web 19 is provided on a holding part 20 which was welded to the strut dome 4.
Auch bei der Ausführungsform nach Figur 5 trägt die Schließplatte 11 die Schottwand 9 und bildet dadurch den Wasserkasten 15. Nach dem Einsetzen der Schließ- platte 11 in die Stirnwandöffnung 8 befestigt man von oben her auf den Federbeindomen 4 bzw. 5 mittels Schrauben 22 einen von einem Federbeindom 4 zum anderen Federbeindom 5 verlaufenden Querträger 21, welcher als Kabelkanal ausgebildet ist und in dem Kabel 23 verlau- fen. Dieser Querträger 21 hat an seiner Oberseite eine Motorhaubendichtung 24, gegen welche die nicht gezeigte Motorhaube im geschlossenen Zustand anliegt. Nach unten hin hat der Querträger 21 eine Dichtung 25, die bei montiertem Querträger 21 dichtend über den oberen Rand der Schottwand 9 greift. Also in the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the closing plate 11 carries the bulkhead 9 and thereby forms the water tank 15. After the closing plate 11 has been inserted into the end wall opening 8, one of the screws is attached to the suspension strut domes 4 and 5 from above one suspension strut dome 4 to the other suspension strut dome 5, which runs as a cable channel and runs in the cable 23. This cross member 21 has on its upper side a bonnet seal 24 against which the bonnet, not shown, bears in the closed state. At the bottom, the cross member 21 has a seal 25 which, when the cross member 21 is mounted, sealingly engages over the upper edge of the bulkhead 9.
