Embodiment Construction

[0029] figure 1A first exemplary embodiment of the inventive front axle carrier with integrated steering box is shown by way of example. The front axle bracket consists of longitudinal brackets 1, 2, fastening elements 3, 4 for the positioning of the wheel guide elements. The longitudinal brackets 1, 2 are connected to the steering box 5 by welding, and the steering box simultaneously functions as a transverse bracket. The longitudinal brackets 1, 2 are formed in the rear section from sheet steel shells 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2 welded together. These sheet steel shells have openings 7 , 8 for bolting or screwing the front axle carrier to the motor vehicle body. The rear and central openings 7 , 8 have notches on their retaining faces, which limit damage to the connecting parts in the event of a crash. The sheet steel profiles 1.2, 2.2 with centrally located openings 8 or fastenings are mounted on the longitudinal brackets 1, 2 and welded to them. Furthermore, supports or fixings...

Abstract

The invention relates to a front axle carrier for a motor vehicle, comprising carrier elements that have holders for mounting wheel guide elements and a transverse structure forming a housing of a steering gear, wherein the support elements are connected to the transverse structure by welded connections. According to a first teaching of the invention, the front axle carrier is characterized in that the support elements are designed as longitudinal carriers (1, 2), wherein each longitudinal carrier (1, 2) is formed in a section made of metal sheet shells (1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14) welded to one another, and the transverse structure is designed as a cross member and formed by a steering housing (5) produced from steel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a front axle carrier for a motor vehicle, having a support part with fixing elements for the positioning of wheel guide parts, the front axle carrier also has a transverse structure forming a steering gear housing, wherein the support part Connected with the horizontal mechanism. Background technique [0002] The front axle carrier is used to support the wheel guide rod or to guide the wheel guide rod into the bodywork by absorbing the forces acting on the wheels via corresponding bearings. Currently, the lower steering gear is usually screwed together with the front axle bracket, which in traditional form consists of two longitudinal brackets and a transverse bracket connected to the longitudinal bracket. The steering box of the current front axle carrier is usually made of aluminum, because it has less weight while having sufficient strength. Weight reduction in vehicle construction is the key to achieving lower engine fuel...
