Problems solved by technology

[0004] In addition to the cumbersome installation process, another disadvantage of the known solutions is that a decision on the configuration of the motor vehicle cockpit must be made relatively early, since assembly processes based on existing assembly solutions always require relatively large Time intervals for assembling the vehicle configuration according to customer requirements

Embodiment Construction

[0020] 1 shows a motor vehicle cockpit (dashboard module assembly (cockpit)), the motor vehicle cockpit has a cross member 12 extending with the width of the cockpit, a driver submodule 14, a center console submodule 16 and Copilot sub-module 18. A cover (not shown) is mounted as an upper closure to the vehicle cabin. Various assemblies and components, such as steering column 20 , head-up display 22 , airbags 24 and heating system 26 , are fastened directly to cross member 12 , which also serves to transmit lateral forces in the event of a side impact. The submodules 14, 16, 18 are self-supporting so as to be freely maneuverable as preassembled components. In the installed state, the submodules 14 , 16 , 18 transmit their own weight and external loads to the cross member 12 . At the same time, only the connection means for carrying are provided between the submodules 14 , 16 , 18 and the crossbeam 12 .

[0021] The submodules 14 , 16 , 18 have a plastic frame as the base st...

Abstract

A modular vehicle cockpit has at least a cross bar running over a width of the cockpit and at least two or three sub-modules which holds a plurality of parts and are installed on the beam. The modular vehicle cockpit is provided to simplify the production process. The sub-modules are self-supported to freely manage the pre-mounted components and to transfer its dead weight and outer loads to the cross bar in an integrated condition. The invention also relates to a method for assembling a vehicle cockpit in a modular construction and a method for installing a vehicle cockpit in a vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle cockpit of modular construction, which has: at least one crossbeam extending across the width of the cockpit; at least two or three submodules, which accommodate a plurality of components and can be respectively fastened to the crossbeam . Background technique [0002] As is known, the cockpit of a motor vehicle is composed of a plurality of load-bearing parts, a substructure, a plurality of technical components and a plurality of exposed surfaces. These technical components are fastened either directly to the carrier part or directly to the secondary structure (also referred to as the instrument panel). These exposed surfaces are provided on the secondary structure. Usually, a part of the cockpit, which is formed from various components, is first mounted on the supporting secondary structure and installed in the motor vehicle. Furthermore, several individual components are subsequently installed locally in t...
