Problems solved by technology

Furthermore the problem is that possible fixing mechanisms such as elbow rests (cantilever) and similar have to be fixed separately on the axle brackets

Embodiment Construction

[0022] figure 1 shows an axle carrier 1 according to the invention, consisting of an upper axle housing 2 and a lower axle housing 3, as in figure 2 and 3 as shown in detail. The two axle housings 2, 3 are made of a thermoplastic 4 processed by casting or injection molding or embossing, which is each reinforced by a fiber material 6 (see Figure 5 ). This fiber material 6 is preferably a glass fiber mesh / fiber mat 7 which is completely embedded in the thermoplastic 4 . Alternatively, instead of thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics can also be used as the base material.

[0023] Manufactured from a plastic that can be processed in liquid or softened state, by means of a correspondingly designed processing mold, it is possible to form the fastening means 8 integrally on the top side of the axle housing—here preferably the upper axle housing 2—for example The elbow rest 9 is thus formed entirely (axle housing) only from plastic 4 —if necessary also fiber reinforced. Of c...

Abstract

The invention relates to an axle cradle for motor vehicles, including an upper axle casing and a lower axle casing, the upper axle casing and the lower axle casing are mutually connected, at least one cavity at least filled by sectional hardened materials is formed between the upper axle casing and the lower axle casing, wherein the upper axle casing (2) and the lower axle casing (3) are made of thermoplastic plastics (4) reinforced by fiber materials (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle axle bracket / vehicle bridge for a motor vehicle It consists of an upper axle housing and a lower axle housing, which are connected to one another and form between them at least one hollow space which is filled at least in sections with hardened material. Background technique [0002] Known axle carriers are produced either from steel or from aluminum. This can be achieved either by means of two connected half axle housings, namely the upper axle housing and the lower axle housing, or can be produced from tubes by forming techniques. An example of an axle carrier made of interconnected half axle housings is known from DE 10 2004 055 100 A1. There, two identically configured axle housings made of sheet steel are used, which are bonded together in the same configuration with foam adhesive. In particular, an identical construction of the two half-axle housings is advantageous, since only a small tooling effort is requ...
