Description

Montageeinheil-: Montageeinheil-:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Montageeinheit zum Einbau in eine Karosserie, insbes. eine Fahrzeugkarosserie, wobei die Montageeinheit zur Aufnahme von Einbauten dient.The invention relates to an assembly unit for installation in a body, in particular a vehicle body, the assembly unit being used to accommodate internals.
Bei Fahrzeugkarosserien ist es bekannt, Montageeinheiten zu verwenden, in die einzelne Komponenten eingebaut werden. Diese Montageeinheiten werden üblicherweise fahrzeuginnen- seitig an einer Stirnwand, welche den Fahrzeuginnenraum vom Motorraum trennt, angebracht. Sie können Komponenten aufnehmen, die idealerweise im Fahrzeuginnenraum untergebracht werden, wie z. B. die Fahrzeugelektronik. Bisher hat man auch andere Komponenten, wie z. B. die Heiz-/Klimaanlage im Fahrzeuginnenraum angeordnet. Abhängig von der geometrischen Situation, dem Styling usw. bei verschiedenen Fahrzeugen wäre eine Anordnung der Heiz-/Klimaanlage im Motorraum besser, da dadurch kürzere Wege für die Medienleitungen, eine einfa- chere Montage und eine bessere Kapselung gegen Geräuschentwicklung möglich wären. Auch würde keine Sensorik für austretende Medien nötig und die Wege der Luft in der Heiz- /Klimaanlage ließen sich verkürzen. Die Anbringung der einzelnen Komponenten im Fahrzeuginnenraum erfordert infolge der beengten Platzverhältnisse einen hohen Montage- und Wartungsaufwand unter ergonomisch ungünstigen Bedingungen.In vehicle bodies, it is known to use assembly units in which individual components are installed. These assembly units are usually attached to the inside of the vehicle on an end wall which separates the vehicle interior from the engine compartment. You can accommodate components that are ideally housed in the vehicle interior, such as. B. the vehicle electronics. So far, you have other components, such as. B. arranged the heating / air conditioning in the vehicle interior. Depending on the geometric situation, the styling, etc. for different vehicles, it would be better to arrange the heating / air conditioning system in the engine compartment, as this means shorter distances for the safer assembly and better encapsulation against noise would be possible. There would also be no need for sensors for escaping media and the air paths in the heating / air conditioning system could be shortened. The installation of the individual components in the vehicle interior requires a lot of assembly and maintenance work under ergonomically unfavorable conditions due to the limited space.
Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Montageeinheit zu schaffen, mit deren Hilfe der Montage- und Wartungsaufwand verringert werden kann.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide an assembly unit with the aid of which the assembly and maintenance effort can be reduced.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Montageeinheit zum Einbau in eine Karosserie, insbes. eine Fahrzeugkarosserie, wobei die Montageeinheit zur Aufnahme von Einbauten dient, dadurch, dass die Montageeinheit vor einer einen Motorraum und einen Fahrzeuginnenraum trennenden Stirnwand in dem Motorraum angeordnet ist.This object is achieved in the case of an assembly unit for installation in a body, in particular a vehicle body, the assembly unit being used to accommodate internals, in that the assembly unit is arranged in the engine compartment in front of an end wall separating an engine compartment and a vehicle interior.
Eine solche Anordnung der Montageeinheit bietet einen reduzierten Montage- und Wartungsaufwand bei gleichzeitiger Verbesserung der Arbeitsergonomie. Die Montageeinheit kann als Ganzes leicht und einfach in den Motorraum eingesetzt werden, wodurch sich der Montageaufwand gegenüber einem bisherigen Verbau der Einzelkomponenten erheblich reduziert.Such an arrangement of the assembly unit offers reduced assembly and maintenance costs while at the same time improving the ergonomics of the work. The assembly unit as a whole can be easily and simply inserted into the engine compartment, which considerably reduces the assembly effort compared to previous installation of the individual components.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Montageeinheit ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous refinements of the assembly unit according to the invention result from the subclaims.
Wenn die Montageeinheit die Heizung aufnimmt, ist nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung die Montageeinheit vom Motorraum aus an der Stirnwand anbringbar. Dies macht nicht nur eine aufwendige Montage der Heizung überflüssig, sondern ermöglicht auch eine lagesichere und stabile Befestigung der Montageeinheit. Vorzugsweise besteht die Montageeinheit aus einem integralen Grundkörper und anbaubaren Modulen. Der integrale Grundkörper garantiert eine ausreichende Stabilität der Montageeinheit und durch die anbaubaren Module kann die Montageeinheit leicht an die jeweiligen Erfordernisse angepasst werden.If the assembly unit receives the heater, the assembly unit can be attached to the end wall from the engine compartment according to an advantageous embodiment. This not only makes complex heating installation unnecessary, but also enables the mounting unit to be secured in a stable position. The assembly unit preferably consists of an integral base body and attachable modules. The integral basic body guarantees sufficient stability of the assembly unit and the attachable modules allow the assembly unit to be easily adapted to the respective requirements.
Um den Einbau der in der Montageeinheit anzuordnenden Einbauten weiter zu vereinfachen, ist die Montageeinheit vorteilhafterweise als nach oben offener Kasten ausgebildet. Hierdurch ist eine gute Zugänglichkeit der einzelnen Einbauten gewährleistet.In order to further simplify the installation of the internals to be arranged in the assembly unit, the assembly unit is advantageously designed as a box open at the top. This ensures good access to the individual internals.
Der Kasten ist vorzugsweise wasser- und/oder gasdicht, um ein Austreten bzw. Eindringen von Wasser, Staub usw. zu verhindern.The box is preferably watertight and / or gas-tight to prevent water, dust, etc. from escaping or entering.
Wenn die erfindungsgemäße Montageeinheit vor der Stirnwand im Motorraum angeordnet wird, muss ein ggf. zwischen Federbeindom und Stirnwand vorgesehenes Versteifungsblech . unter Umständen entfallen. Als Ersatz hierfür wird nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Kasten als Hybrid-Bauteil ausgestaltet, etwa als Metall-Kunststoff-Bauteil, als Spritzgussteil, z. B.. aus langfaserverstärktem Material oder als LFT-Pressteil ausgebildet. Aufgrund dieser Maßnahme kann die erfindungsgemäße Montageeinheit die Funktion des Versteifungsblechs übernehmen.If the assembly unit according to the invention is arranged in front of the front wall in the engine compartment, a stiffening plate which may be provided between the strut tower and the front wall must be provided. may not apply. As a replacement for this, according to a preferred embodiment, the box is designed as a hybrid component, for example as a metal-plastic component, as an injection molded part, for. B .. made of long fiber reinforced material or as an LFT pressed part. Due to this measure, the assembly unit according to the invention can take over the function of the stiffening plate.
Um z. B. bei Wartungs- bzw. Reparaturarbeiten den Einbau und/oder Ausbau der erfindungsgemäßen Montageeinheit zu erleichtern, ist die Montageeinheit über lösbare Verbindungen, z. B. eine Schraubverbindung mit der Karosserie verbunden.To z. B. to facilitate the installation and / or removal of the assembly unit according to the invention during maintenance or repair work, the assembly unit is via detachable connections, for. B. connected a screw connection to the body.
An der erfindungemäßen Montageeinheit können Hitzeschutzschilder und/oder akustisch wirkende Materialien angebracht sein. Auch können elastische Auflagepunkte und weitere Be- festigungselemente bereits im Fertigungsprozess realisiert werden.Heat protection shields and / or acoustically acting materials can be attached to the assembly unit according to the invention. Elastic support points and other fastening elements can already be realized in the manufacturing process.
Die Montageeinheit ist vorteilhafterweise über Zwischenwände unterteilt, so dass mehrere Räume für die Aufnahme der einzelnen Einbauten geschaffen werden. Dies ermöglicht auch eine einfache Befestigung der Einbauten, da ausreichend Befestigungsflächen für die einzelnen Einbauten vorhanden sind. Gleichzeitig wird eine gewisse Abschottung der einzelnen Einbauten erreicht, so dass z. B. das aus einem Einbauteil auslaufende Wasser andere Einbauteile nicht in Mitleidenschaft ziehen kann. Auch die Anordnung bzw. Integration von Streben, Steifigkeitsblechen, Hybridbauteilen o. dgl . ist möglich, z. B. zur zusätzlichen Karosserieversteifung bei Cabrios .The assembly unit is advantageously subdivided by partitions, so that several spaces are created for accommodating the individual internals. This also enables the fixtures to be easily attached, since there are sufficient attachment surfaces for the individual fixtures. At the same time, a certain isolation of the individual internals is achieved, so that, for. B. the water running out of a built-in part cannot affect other built-in parts. The arrangement or integration of struts, stiffness sheets, hybrid components or the like. is possible, e.g. B. for additional body stiffening in convertibles.
Vorzugsweise sind die Einbauten vor dem Einbau der Montageeinheit in die Karosserie in diese eingebaut. Durch diese Vormontage ist es möglich, die Montageeinheit in einer ergo- nomisch günstigen Position mit den Einbauten zu versehen. Als mögliche Einbauten kommen in Frage:The internals are preferably installed in the body before the assembly unit is installed. This pre-assembly makes it possible to provide the assembly unit with the internals in an ergonomically favorable position. Possible installations are:

Gebläse, Verdampfer, Wärmetauscher, Zuheizer, Verstell- motore, Kinematik usw., Sammelgehäuse für elektrische Steuergeräte, Stromverteiler, Sicherungskasten (evtl. mit Luftkühlung), - Anordnung von Stromverteilern als Kabelbaumschnittstelle zwischen Innenraum und Motorraum, - Motorraumkabelbaum, Fußhebelwerk, Bremsgerät mit Ausgleichsbehälter, zukünftige Bremssysteme (EHB, brake by wire) , DSC- Einheit, usw. - Wischanlage, Abdeckung Windlauf, Fahrzeugbatterie, - Bremsleitungen, Heiz-/Klimaleitungen, Scheibenwaschbehälter mit Leitungen, usw.Air supply to the heating / air conditioning unit, e.g. B. filter box, microfilter, water management, fresh air / recirculating air switch, the complete heating / air conditioning system or parts thereof: z. B. Blowers, evaporators, heat exchangers, auxiliary heaters, variable motors, kinematics etc., collective housings for electrical control units, power distributors, fuse boxes (possibly with air cooling), - arrangement of power distributors as a wiring harness interface between the interior and the engine compartment, - engine compartment wiring harness, foot pedal, brake device with expansion tank, future brake systems (EHB, brake by wire), DSC unit, etc. - Wiper system, cowl cover, vehicle battery, - brake lines, heating / air conditioning lines, windscreen washer reservoir with lines, etc.
Grundsätzlich ist es möglich, alle im Bereich vor der Stirnwand liegenden Bauteile in die Montageeinheit zu integrieren.Basically, it is possible to integrate all components in the area in front of the bulkhead into the assembly unit.
Um die Montage der Zu- und Ableitungen zu und von den Einbauten zu vereinfachen, ist nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, dass an der Montageeinheit Schnittstellen für Kabel, Kabelbäume, Medienleitungen usw. vorgesehen sind. Somit kann durch ein einfaches Zusammenstecken eine Verbindung zwischen den Einbauten in der Montageeinheit und den nach außen führenden Komponenten erreicht werden.In order to simplify the installation of the supply and discharge lines to and from the internals, it is provided according to an advantageous embodiment that interfaces for cables, cable harnesses, media lines etc. are provided on the mounting unit. In this way, a simple connection between the components in the assembly unit and the components leading to the outside can be achieved.
Da die erfindungsgemäße Montageeinheit aufgrund ihrer Konstruktion ein relativ steifes Bauteil darstellen kann, ist sie vorteilhafterweise als Aussteifungselement, insbes. für die Torsionssteifigkeit der Karosserie verwendbar.Since the assembly unit according to the invention can represent a relatively rigid component due to its construction, it can advantageously be used as a stiffening element, in particular for the torsional rigidity of the body.

In den Figuren ist eine Fahrzeugkarosserie 1 mit einem Motorraum 2 zu erkennen. Der Motorraum 2 ist an seiner zu einem Fahrzeuginnenraum 3 weisenden Seite von einer Stirnwand 4 begrenzt, welche den Motorraum 2 und den Fahrzeuginnenraum 3 trennt. Vor der Stirnwand 4 ist im Motorraum 2 eine Montageeinheit 5 angeordnet, die vom Motorraum 2 aus an der Stirnwand 4 angebracht werden kann und die sich im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel nahezu über die gesamte Breite des Motorraums 2 erstreckt.A vehicle body 1 with an engine compartment 2 can be seen in the figures. The engine compartment 2 is delimited on its side facing a vehicle interior 3 by an end wall 4 which separates the engine compartment 2 and the vehicle interior 3. In front of the end wall 4, an assembly unit 5 is arranged in the engine compartment 2, which can be attached to the end wall 4 from the engine compartment 2 and which in the exemplary embodiment shown extends almost over the entire width of the engine compartment 2.
Die Montageeinheit 5 kann in ihren seitlichen Endbereichen und/oder an der Stirnwand 4 über lösbare Befestigungsmittel, z. B. Schrauben 6 (Figur 4) befestigt sein.The mounting unit 5 can in its lateral end regions and / or on the end wall 4 via releasable fastening means, for. B. screws 6 (Figure 4).
Die Montageeinheit 5 dient zur Aufnahme von nicht dargestellten Einbauten, die vor dem Einbau der Montageeinheit 5 in den Motorraum 2 eingebaut werden. Die so vormontierte Montageeinheit 5 kann anschließend als Ganzes in den Motorraum 2 eingesetzt und dort befestigt werden. Zu Wartungsund/oder Reparaturzwecken der in der Montageeinheit 5 angeordneten Bauteile können die Bauteile einzeln demontierbar angeordnet sein. Unter bestimmten geometrischen Voraussetzungen, die eine vorherige Demontage des Motors erfordern können, kann die Montageeinheit 5 auch als Ganzes wieder aus dem Motorraum 2 entfernt werden.The assembly unit 5 serves to accommodate internals (not shown) which are installed in the engine compartment 2 before the assembly unit 5 is installed. The assembly unit 5 preassembled in this way can then be inserted as a whole into the engine compartment 2 and fastened there. For maintenance and / or repair purposes of the components arranged in the assembly unit 5, the components can be arranged such that they can be removed individually. Under certain geometric conditions that require the engine to be dismantled beforehand assembly unit 5 can also be removed as a whole from engine compartment 2.
Die Montageeinheit 5 besteht aus einem integralen, einstückigen Grundkörper 7, an den weitere einzelne Module 8 anbaubar sind. Die Montageeinheit 5 ist als nach oben offener Kasten' ausgebildet, der gas- und/oder luftdicht verschlossen werden kann. Um eine ausreichende Steifigkeit der Montageeinheit 5 zu gewährleisten, kann diese als Metall- Kunststoff-Bauteil, als Spritzgussteil oder als LFT- Pressteil ausgebildet sein.The assembly unit 5 consists of an integral, one-piece base body 7, to which further individual modules 8 can be attached. The mounting unit 5 is formed as an upwardly open box ', the gaseous and / or can be hermetically sealed. In order to ensure sufficient rigidity of the assembly unit 5, it can be designed as a metal-plastic component, as an injection molded part or as an LFT pressed part.
An der Montageeinheit 5 können nicht dargestellte Hitzschutzschilder und/oder akustisch wirkende Materialien vorgesehen sein, die entweder nachträglich angebracht oder direkt beim Herstellungsprozess der Montageeinheit 5 realisiert werden.Heat shields and / or acoustically active materials (not shown) can be provided on the mounting unit 5, which are either attached subsequently or are implemented directly during the manufacturing process of the mounting unit 5.
Die Montageeinheit 5 ist über Zwischenwände 11, Streben, Hybridbauteile, Aussteifungswände o. dgl . unterteilt und weist Schnittstellen zur Verbindung mit Kabeln, Leitungen usw. auf, um eine einfache und schnelle Verbindung zwischen den in der Montageeinheit 5 angeordneten Einbauten und den übrigen in der Karosserie vorgesehenen Aggregaten zu ermöglichen.The assembly unit 5 is over partition walls 11, struts, hybrid components, stiffening walls or the like. divides and has interfaces for connection to cables, lines, etc., in order to enable a simple and quick connection between the internals arranged in the assembly unit 5 and the other units provided in the body.
Da sich die Montageeinheit 5, wie in den Figuren gezeigt, im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Fahrzeugbreite erstreckt, ist die erfindungsgemäße Montageeinheit 5 auch als Aussteifungselement, insbesondere für die Torsionssteifigkeit verwendbar.Since the assembly unit 5, as shown in the figures, extends essentially over the entire width of the vehicle, the assembly unit 5 according to the invention can also be used as a stiffening element, in particular for torsional rigidity.
Während in den Figuren 1 bis 3 die gesamte Montageeinheit 5 in geöffnetem Zustand gezeigt ist, zeigt die Figur 4 die Montageeinheit 5 in einem Zustand, in welchem der nach oben offene Kasten der Montageeinheit 5 durch einen Deckel verschlossen ist.While the entire assembly unit 5 is shown in the open state in FIGS. 1 to 3, FIG. 4 shows the assembly unit 5 in a state in which the upward open box of the assembly unit 5 is closed by a lid.
In Figur 5 ist eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Montageeinheit 5 dargestellt, bei der in die Motorhaube 9 Lüftungsschlitze 12 für die Montageeinheit 5 integriert sind, durch welche das Heiz-/Klimagerät mit Luft versorgt werden kann. Alternativ besteht natürlich auch die Möglichkeit, obwohl nicht dargestellt, die Heiz-/Klimaanlage durch Haubenspalte mit Luft zu versorgen.FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the assembly unit 5 according to the invention, in which ventilation slots 12 for the assembly unit 5 are integrated in the hood 9, through which the heating / air-conditioning device can be supplied with air. Alternatively, it is of course also possible, although not shown, to supply the heating / air conditioning system with air through hood gaps.
In Figur 6 ist noch eine weitere Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Montageeinheit 5 dargestellt. Außen an dieser Montageeinheit 5 sind weitere Bauteile 13, z. B. ein Brems- kraftverstärker, angebracht.A further embodiment of the assembly unit 5 according to the invention is shown in FIG. Outside of this assembly unit 5, further components 13, z. B. a brake booster attached.
Außerdem kann ein üblicherweise vorne vorgesehener, unterer Querträger-Windlauf im Innenraum mit einer nach unten zu weiteren Strukturbauteilen, z.B. einem Getriebetunnel, verlaufenden Strebe ausgebildet sein. Diese Strebe kann so dann eine Strukturfunktion übernehmen. Alternativ zur Strebe kann auch eine Blechstruktur als Schubfeld vorgesehen werden. Durch das Schubfeld ist aufgrund der neuen geometrischen Gegebenheiten kein durchgehendes Tragrohr mehr erforderlich, vielmehr reicht auch ein Teiltragrohr zur Abstützung der Lenksäule aus.In addition, a lower cross member cowl panel usually provided at the front can be provided in the interior with a downward connection to further structural components, e.g. a gear tunnel extending strut. This strut can then take on a structural function. As an alternative to the strut, a sheet metal structure can also be provided as a shear field. Due to the new geometrical conditions, a continuous support tube is no longer required due to the shear field, rather a partial support tube is also sufficient to support the steering column.
Diese Anordnung der Strebe oder der Blechstruktur ist nunmehr möglich, da die Heiz-/Klimaanlage aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung, im Gegensatz zum derzeitigen Stand der Technik, im Motorraum angeordnet ist.This arrangement of the strut or the sheet metal structure is now possible because, in contrast to the current state of the art, the heating / air conditioning system is arranged in the engine compartment due to the solution according to the invention.
Die erfindungsgemäße Montageeinheit 5 kann dergestalt ausgeformt sein, dass sie sowohl bei Linkslenker-Karosserien als auch bei Rechtslenker-Karosserien Verwendung findet bzw. kann eine Linkslenker-Rechtslenker-Differenzierung bei einer Linkslenker/Rechtslenker unabhängigen Karosserie realisiert werden.The assembly unit 5 according to the invention can be designed in such a way that it is used both in left-hand drive bodies and also in right-hand drive bodies, or it can differentiate between left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles Left-hand drive / right-hand drive independent body can be realized.
