Embodiment Construction

[0022] according to figure 1 , according to the present embodiment, the automobile instrument panel beam 1 includes an instrument panel 10 and a multi-piece modular beam 20, such as image 3 shown. All parts of the dashboard cross member 1 are made of composite material, for example carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFK).

[0023] The multi-part modular beam 20 is mounted between two A-pillars of the motor vehicle, ie extends in the y-direction of the motor vehicle and according to figure 2 A first multi-piece beam member 30 and a second beam member 40 are included.

[0024] The first beam member 30 is composed of three parts, namely a shell-shaped front portion 31 , a shell-shaped rear portion 32 and a shell-shaped bottom portion 33 . These three parts 31, 32 and 33 are glued together by means of adhesive bonding under the situation of forming U-shaped profile respectively at the edge side, as by Figure 4 middle pair figure 1 As can be seen in the illustration of the se...

Abstract

The invention relates an instrument panel cross member (1) for a vehicle, comprising a module cross member (20) made of fiber-reinforced plastic and an instrument panel (10) made of fiber-reinforced plastic. According to the invention, the module cross member (20), in a transverse direction of the vehicle, consists of a first and a second cross member part (30, 40), the first cross member part (30) has a U-shaped profile, and the instrument panel (10) is joined in a form-fitting manner to the module cross member (20), wherein the first cross member part (30) forms a closed hollow profile with the instrument panel (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a dashboard beam for a vehicle comprising a modular beam and an instrument panel each made of fiber-reinforced plastic. Background technique [0002] From the same DE 10 2008 021 103 A1 is known a composite component made of fiber-reinforced plastics for motor vehicles, which integrates the end walls and cross members of the body and has supports for the instrument panel and its components, wherein the instrument panel can likewise be Made of fiber reinforced plastic. [0003] The advantage of this known composite component compared to conventional body parts made of metal is the reduced weight. The disadvantage, however, is that, despite the integration of end walls and cross members in a composite component, additional components, in particular instrument panels, still have to be installed separately. Contents of the invention [0004] The object of the present invention is to improve an instrument panel beam of the afore...
