Description

Vormontierbare BaueinheitPre-assembled unit
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht von einer vormontierbaren Baueinheit für eine Karosserie eines Kraftfahrzeugs entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 aus. Eine derartige Baueinheit ist beispielsweise aus der DE 30 30 427 AI bereits bekannt. Diese Baueinheit weist eine Haltevorrichtung mit Ausnehmungen auf, in die u.a. Scheinwerfer eingesetzt sind. Eine Lagefi- xierung der Scheinwerfer erfolgt durch eine RastVerbindung zwischen den Gehäusen der Scheinwerfer und der Haltevorrichtung. Diese Scheinwerfer können als vormontierte Einheiten oder in Einzelteilen an der Haltevorrichtung befestigt werden. Nachteilig bei einer derartigen Ausbildung ist, daß ei- ne Vielzahl von Einzelbauteilen miteinander zu montieren und relativ zueinander zu justieren sind. Um eine rüttelfeste Scheinwerferfixierung zu gewährleisten weist die Rastverbindung eine relativ aufwendig gestaltete Formgebung auf. Dies verursacht verhältnismäßig hohe Teile-, Montage- und Ein- stellkosten.The invention is based on a preassembled unit for a body of a motor vehicle in accordance with the preamble of claim 1. Such a unit is already known for example from DE 30 30 427 AI. This assembly has a holding device with recesses into which, inter alia, Headlights are used. The position of the headlights is fixed by a snap connection between the housing of the headlights and the holding device. These headlights can be attached to the holding device as pre-assembled units or in individual parts. A disadvantage of such a design is that a large number of individual components have to be assembled with one another and adjusted relative to one another. In order to ensure a vibration-proof fixation of the headlights, the latching connection has a relatively complex design. This causes relatively high parts, assembly and adjustment costs.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
Demgegenüber verursacht eine Baueinheit mit den kennzeich- nenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 wesentlich geringere Teile- und Herstellkosten. Dies wird durch die Integration der Scheinwerfergehäuse in die Haltevorrichtung erreicht. Durch diese Integration wird im fertig montierten Zustand der Baueinheit die Schüttelfestigkeit und die Lagegenauigkeit der Scheinwerfer verbessert, so daß ein nachträgliches Justieren der Scheinwerfer vereinfacht wird. Gleichzeitig wird die Zahl der Einzelteile reduziert und deren Montage erleichtert .In contrast, a structural unit with the characterizing features of claim 1 causes significantly smaller parts and manufacturing costs. This is achieved by integrating the headlight housing into the holding device. This integration improves the resistance to shaking and the positional accuracy of the headlights in the fully assembled state of the structural unit, so that subsequent adjustment of the headlights is simplified. At the same time, the number of individual parts is reduced and their assembly is made easier.
Weitere Vorteile oder vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Er- findung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen oder der Beschreibung. So ist es beispielsweise bei einer gemäß Anspruch 5 geteilt ausgebildeten Haltevorrichtung möglich, im Reparaturfall lediglich einen Teil der Vorrichtung zu ersetzen, wodurch sich Reparaturkosten niedrig halten lassen.Further advantages or advantageous developments of the invention result from the subclaims or the description. For example, in the case of a holding device divided according to claim 5, it is possible to replace only part of the device in the event of a repair, as a result of which repair costs can be kept low.

Figur 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Baueinheit im an eine Karosserie eines Kraftfahrzeugs fertig montierten Zustand, in Figur 2 ist diese Baueinheit mit ihren Anbautei- len als Explosionsdarstellung gezeichnet.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description. FIG. 1 shows an assembly according to the invention in the fully assembled state on a body of a motor vehicle, in FIG. 2 this assembly is drawn with its attachments as an exploded view.
Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment
Figur 1 zeigt einen Teil einer Karosserie 10 eines Kraftfahrzeugs, deren Frontpartie eine vormontierbaren Baueinheit 11 aufweist. Die Baueinheit 11 besteht aus einer in Figur 1 nicht erkennbaren, quer zur Fahrtrichtung R des Kraftfahrzeugs an den tragenden Teilen der Karosserie 10 befestigten Haltevorrichtung (Fig. 2) , an der insbesondere die beiden Hauptscheinwerfer 13 und die Blinkleuchten 14 des Kraftfahrzeugs angebracht sind. Neben diesen Beleuchtungs- bzw. Si- gnaleinrichtungen können an der Haltevorrichtung 11 veschie- denartige Anbauteile, beispielsweise Zusatzscheinwerfer 15, Kühlerblenden und -Verkleidungen 16 oder dgl . angebracht sein. Auch Stoßfänger 17 lassen sich an der Haltevorrichtung 12 befestigen oder können einstückig daran angeformt sein.FIG. 1 shows part of a body 10 of a motor vehicle, the front part of which has a preassembled structural unit 11. The structural unit 11 consists of a holding device, which cannot be seen in FIG. 1 and is fastened transversely to the direction of travel R of the motor vehicle to the supporting parts of the body 10 (FIG. 2) and to which in particular the two headlights 13 and the turn signal lamps 14 of the motor vehicle are attached. In addition to these lighting or signaling devices, various holding devices 11 can be such attachments, such as auxiliary lights 15, radiator grilles and panels 16 or the like. to be appropriate. Bumpers 17 can also be attached to the holding device 12 or can be integrally formed thereon.
Die in Figur 2 als Explosionsdarstellung gezeichnete Baueinheit 11 besteht aus einer Haltevorrichtung 12, die vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff in einem Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt ist. Die Haltevorrichtung 12 wird von einem rahmen- förmigen Mittelteil 20 gebildet, dessen Seitenflanken jeweils ein nach außen abstehendes Flanschelement 21 ausbilden. Die beiden Flanschelemente 21 haben eine geringere Höhe als das Mittelteil 20 und sind derart angeordnet, daß ihre obere Abschlußkante mit der entsprechenden Abschlußkante des Mittelteils 20 fluchtet. Die Vorrichtung 12 wirkt in ihrem an eine Karosserie 10 eines Kraftfahrzeugs angebauten Zustand als Querträger dieser Karosserie 10.The assembly 11 shown in FIG. 2 as an exploded view consists of a holding device 12, which is preferably made of plastic in an injection molding process. The holding device 12 is formed by a frame-shaped middle part 20, the side flanks of which each form an outwardly projecting flange element 21. The two flange elements 21 have a lower height than the middle part 20 and are arranged such that their upper end edge is flush with the corresponding end edge of the middle part 20. When mounted on a body 10 of a motor vehicle, the device 12 acts as a cross member of this body 10.
Um beispielsweise im Falle eines UnfallSchadens die Reparaturkosten der Karosserie 10 gering zu halten, ist die Haltevorrichtung 12 entlang ihrer vertikalen Symmetrieachse S in zwei Vorrichtungshälften geteilt. Diese beiden Vorrichtungshälften sind mittels Verbindungsteilen 23 miteinander gekoppelt. Hierzu können die Verbindungsteile 23 beispiels- weise mit den Vorrichtungshälften verschraubt, oder auch mit Hilfe eines der Anbauteile verspannt werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, dazu die Montage- oder Führungseinrichtungen der Anbauteile zu nutzen, indem diese in entsprechende Ausnehmungen 24 an der Haltevorrichtung 12 und an den Verbindungsteilen 23 geschoben werden. Dadurch kann auf zusätzliche Arbeitsgänge zur Ausbildung der Verbindung der beiden Vorrichtungshälften verzichtet werden. Diesbezüglich sei auf ein in Figur 2 dargestelltes Ziergitter 25 verwiesen, das an seinem Umfang verteilt angeordnete Befesti- gungseinrichtungen 26 aufweist. Diese Befestigungseinrich- tungen 26 tragen an ihren der Haltevorrichtung 12 zugewandten freien Enden Rastnasen 27, die bei der Montage des Ziergitters 25 durch die Wandung der Öffnungen 24, in die sie einzuführen sind, aufgespreizt werden und die nach Erreichen der Endlage des Ziergitters 25 mit der Haltevorrichtung 12 verrasten. Die Vorrichtungshälften und das Ziergitter 25 lassen sich demnach ohne Werkzeugeinsatz von Hand fügen und sind jederzeit wieder voneinander lösbar.In order to keep the repair costs of the body 10 low, for example in the event of an accident, the holding device 12 is divided into two device halves along its vertical axis of symmetry S. These two device halves are coupled to one another by means of connecting parts 23. For this purpose, the connecting parts 23 can be screwed to the device halves, for example, or can also be clamped with the aid of one of the add-on parts. It is particularly advantageous to use the assembly or guide devices of the add-on parts for this purpose, by pushing them into corresponding recesses 24 on the holding device 12 and on the connecting parts 23. This eliminates the need for additional operations to form the connection between the two halves of the device. In this regard, reference is made to a decorative grille 25 shown in FIG. 2, which has fastening devices 26 arranged distributed around its circumference. These fasteners lines 26 carry at their free ends facing the holding device 12 locking lugs 27 which are spread out during the assembly of the decorative grille 25 through the wall of the openings 24 into which they are to be inserted and which, after reaching the end position of the decorative grille 25, engage with the holding device 12 . The device halves and the decorative grille 25 can therefore be joined by hand without the use of tools and can be detached from one another at any time.
Aus Figur 2 geht desweiteren hervor, daß die Flanschelemente 21 jeweils eine durchgehende Ausnehmung aufweisen, die um- fangsseitig von einem umlaufenden und in sich geschlossenen Bund 30, der sich zu beiden Seiten der Haltevorrichtung 12 erstreckt, umgeben sind. Dadurch bilden die Flanschelemente 21 ein einstückig an der Haltevorrichtung 12 angeformtes und zu beiden Seiten hin offenes Gehäuse 31 aus, das der Aufnahme von Einzelteilen eines Scheinwerfers dient. An der Innenwandung des Gehäuses 31 sind Führungskonsolen 32 ausgebildet, in die ein Reflektorgehäuse 33 eines Hauptscheinwerfers 13 (Fig.l ), das mit entsprechenden Armierungen versehen ist, eingesetzt wird. Das Reflektorgehäuse 33 des Hauptscheinwerfers 13 ist behälterförmig ausgebildet, an seiner in Fahrtrichtung R liegenden Vorderseite geöffnet und weist an seiner Bodenfläche eine Aufnahmeöffnung für ein separat einzusetzendes, nicht dargestelltes Leuchtmittel auf. Ferner ist das Reflektorgehäuse 33 auf seiner Rückseite mit einer nicht erkennbaren Gewindebohrung ausgestattet, in die exemplarisch eine an der Haltevorrichtung 12 angeordnete Ver- stellschraube 34 eingeschraubt ist. Über diese Verstell- schraube 34 erfolgt im an eine Karosserie 10 montierten Zustand der Baueinheit 11 die Justierung eines Hauptscheinwerfers 13. Das an den Flanschelementen 21 ausgebildete Gehäuse 31 ist durch eine Trennwand in zwei benachbarte Kammern aufgeteilt. Während in der ersten Kammer das Reflektorgehäuse 33 des Hauptscheinwerfers 13 untergebracht ist, ist die zweite Kammer zur Aufnahme eines Blinklichtreflektors 36 der Blinkleuchte 14 (Fig.l) vorgesehen. Dieser Blinklichtreflektor 36 muß später nicht eingestellt werden und kann damit ortsfest in das Gehäuse 31 ein- geklipst werden. Hierfür sind am Blinklichtreflektor 36 und am Gehäuse 31 herkömmlich bekannte Rastverbindungen vorhanden.FIG. 2 also shows that the flange elements 21 each have a continuous recess which is surrounded on the circumferential side by a circumferential and self-contained collar 30 which extends on both sides of the holding device 12. As a result, the flange elements 21 form a housing 31 which is integrally formed on the holding device 12 and is open on both sides and serves to accommodate individual parts of a headlight. Guide brackets 32 are formed on the inner wall of the housing 31, into which a reflector housing 33 of a main headlight 13 (FIG. 1), which is provided with corresponding reinforcements, is inserted. The reflector housing 33 of the main headlight 13 is designed in a container shape, is open on its front side lying in the direction of travel R and has a receiving opening on its bottom surface for a lamp (not shown) to be used separately. Furthermore, the rear side of the reflector housing 33 is equipped with a threaded hole (not visible) into which, by way of example, an adjusting screw 34 arranged on the holding device 12 is screwed. When the structural unit 11 is mounted on a body 10, this adjustment screw 34 is used to adjust a main headlight 13. The housing 31 formed on the flange elements 21 is divided into two adjacent chambers by a partition. While in the first chamber the reflector housing 33 of the headlight 13 is housed, the second chamber is provided for receiving a flashing light reflector 36 of the flashing light 14 (FIG. 1). This flashing light reflector 36 does not have to be adjusted later and can therefore be clipped into the housing 31 in a stationary manner. For this purpose, conventionally known latching connections are provided on the flashing light reflector 36 and on the housing 31.
Die Komplettierung des Scheinwerfers erfolgt, indem eine Streuscheibe 37, die das Reflektorgehäuse 33 mitsamt dem Blinklichtreflektor 36 überdeckt, auf die Stirnfläche des das Gehäuse 31 umschließenden Bundes 30 aufgesetzt und mittels Haltefedern 40 daran fixiert wird. Um den Innenraum des Scheinwerfers gegen Spritzwasser von außen zu schützen ist zwischen der Streuscheibe 37 und der Stirnfläche des Bundes 30 eine nicht dargestellte Formdichtung vorhanden.The headlamp is completed by placing a lens 37, which covers the reflector housing 33 together with the flashing light reflector 36, on the end face of the collar 30 surrounding the housing 31 and is fixed thereon by means of retaining springs 40. In order to protect the interior of the headlamp against splashing water from the outside, a shaped seal, not shown, is present between the lens 37 and the end face of the collar 30.
Auf das Ziergitter 25, das im Ausführungsbeispiel die beiden Vorrichtungshälften der Haltevorrichtung 12 zusammenhält, kann nach der Scheinwerfermontage ein Abdeckrahmen 41 aufgesteckt werden, der die Trennfugen zwischen Scheinwerfern, Ziergitter 25 und Haltevorrichtung 12 überdeckt. Die entgegen der Fahrtrichtung R liegende rückseitige Öffnung des von der Haltevorrichtung 12 gebildeten Gehäuses 31 wird ab- schließend durch das Aufsetzen einer Schutz- bzw. Dichthaube 42 spritzwassergeschützt verschlossen. Die Baueinheit 11 läßt sich o.g. Ausführungen zufolge ohne Werkzeugeinsatz bei einem Teilezulieferer vormontieren und kann im montierten Zustand einem Kfz-Hersteller zugeliefert werden. Beim Kfz- Hersteller ist lediglich die Befestigung der Baueinheit 11 an der Karosserie 10 und die elektrische Kontaktierung durchzuführen . Selbstverständlich sind Änderungen oder Ergänzungen am beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel möglich, ohne vom Grundgedanken der Erfindung abzuweichen.After the headlight assembly, a cover frame 41 can be plugged onto the decorative grille 25, which holds the two device halves of the holding device 12 together, which covers the joints between the headlights, the decorative grille 25 and the holding device 12. The rear opening, opposite to the direction of travel R, of the housing 31 formed by the holding device 12 is finally closed by a protective or sealing hood 42 so as to be splash-proof. The assembly 11 can be preassembled by a parts supplier without the use of tools and can be delivered to a motor vehicle manufacturer in the assembled state. At the motor vehicle manufacturer, only the fastening of the assembly 11 to the body 10 and the electrical contacting are to be carried out. Of course, changes or additions to the described embodiment are possible without departing from the basic idea of the invention.
Erfindungswesentlich ist, daß durch die erläuterte Ausbildung einer Baueinheit 11 die Zahl der Einzelteile und somit der Aufwand zur Montage sowie zur Instandsetzung im Schadensfall reduziert werden kann. Eine derartige Baueinheit 11 ist nicht zwangsläufig nur im Front- sondern beispielsweise auch im Heckbereich einer Karosserie 10 vorstellbar. It is essential to the invention that the design of a structural unit 11 explains the number of individual parts and thus the effort for assembly and repair in the event of damage. Such a unit 11 is not necessarily only conceivable in the front area, but also, for example, in the rear area of a body 10.
