Description

[0001] The invention relates generally to the field of assembling vehicle components. Specifically, the invention relates to an assembly device for assembling a vehicle component, a method for assembling a component, and such a component.

[0002] In automotive manufacturing, the precise positioning and fastening of large, load-bearing structures such as vehicle frames or body panels presents a crucial challenge. Conventional assembly methods involve the use of an assembly fixture, also known as a workpiece carrier. These workpiece carriers are designed to hold a supporting structure, to which components must be mounted, in a stable position during the assembly process.

[0003] Vehicle components are becoming increasingly heavier. This presents additional challenges for the assembly process and especially for the workpiece carrier. To precisely attach the components to the supporting structure, it can be crucial that the supporting structure remains free of play.

[0004] The object of the present invention is to address the aforementioned challenges. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide an assembly device for mounting a vehicle component that can at least partially overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. A further object of the present invention is to provide an improved method for mounting a vehicle component.

[0005] The invention is defined in the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims and the following description.

[0006] A first aspect of the present disclosure relates to an assembly device for mounting a vehicle assembly. The assembly device has a contact surface configured to receive a supporting linear structure for the assembly. The assembly device further comprises a fastening device and a clamping device arranged longitudinally along the supporting linear structure opposite the fastening device. The clamping device is configured to clamp the supporting linear structure at a first end region of the supporting linear structure. The fastening device is configured to fasten the supporting linear structure at a second end region of the supporting linear structure.

[0007] A mounting device is proposed for assembling a vehicle assembly. The fully assembled assembly may include a load-bearing linear structure and at least one component. The mounting device comprises a contact surface, a fastening device, and a clamping device. The contact surface may be a surface of a base structure. This base structure may be a main body or a frame of the mounting device, providing its basic shape and structure. The base structure may, for example, be a base plate. The contact surface preferably serves as a receptacle for the load-bearing linear structure. The term "contact surface" can refer to a surface on which a load-bearing linear structure can be received and supported. The fastening device and / or the clamping device may be connected to the contact surface. The fastening device may, for example, extend beyond the contact surface.The clamping device can be connected directly or indirectly to the mounting surface or to the basic structure.

[0008] The load-bearing linear structure can essentially serve to hold components to form an assembly. The load-bearing linear structure can, for example, be a body structure or a vehicle frame. The load-bearing linear structure preferably has a longitudinal axis. Therefore, the load-bearing linear structure particularly has two opposing end regions. The load-bearing linear structure can essentially have a compensation hole at a first end region and essentially a mounting hole at a second end region.

[0009] The fastening device can serve to securely mount the supporting linear structure at one of its end regions. The fastening device can therefore include a bolt or a screw. This fastening device can, for example, be positively inserted into a hole in the supporting linear structure to hold the supporting linear structure—for example, a support structure for an instrument panel—at the mounting surface. The clamping device is preferably arranged on the opposite side of the fastening device and can be configured to exert a directed tensile force. The clamping device can be configured to clamp the supporting linear structure at a first end region of the supporting linear structure.

[0010] The main difference between a fastening device and a clamping device lies in their respective design and function. A fastening device is preferably designed to fit precisely into a hole in the supporting linear structure. This creates a stable, positive-locking connection that securely holds the linear structure to the mounting fixture. In contrast, a clamping device can engage in a slightly larger hole, such as a compensating hole (also called an alignment hole). The compensating hole can provide a margin for precise adjustment and alignment of the supporting linear structure with the mounting fixture. This margin allows the clamping device to adapt more flexibly to different conditions. Furthermore, the clamping device can be designed to accommodate holes of varying sizes.For this purpose, the clamping device has, for example, a movable element that can position itself according to the respective hole.

[0011] This means that the fastening device allows the supporting linear structure to be secured at one of its ends, particularly along its longitudinal axis, while the clamping device at the opposite end can apply tension to the supporting linear structure. This combination of fastening and tensioning enables the supporting linear structure to be held precisely and stably in the desired position, which can be advantageous for the correct installation of components onto the supporting linear structure. Such an assembly device can be used in automotive manufacturing, where complex vehicle components must be positioned and assembled with precision. The stable fixation or support at both ends of the supporting linear structure on the assembly device ensures that the linear structure remains securely in position throughout the entire assembly process.This can prevent deformations, bending, or displacements of the supporting linear structure that could impair the quality and functionality of the assembled component. In particular, the clamping device can prevent the supporting linear structure from bending when a component is mounted to it.

[0012] It should be noted that it is common practice to incorporate a compensation hole in a load-bearing linear structure. This can be advantageous, for example, for the subsequent assembly of the component into a vehicle, if the load-bearing linear structure allows for tolerance compensation in one spatial direction. Such a compensation hole can serve to compensate for tolerances.

[0013] Such a mounting device allows the supporting linear structure to be kept free of play during the mounting of at least one component on the supporting linear structure, without having to forgo a compensation hole for the purpose of tolerance compensation.

[0014] According to one embodiment, the clamping device comprises a clamping element. The clamping element is designed to be inserted into a compensation hole in the supporting linear structure, the compensation hole being located essentially at a first end region of the supporting linear structure. The clamping element is designed to exert a clamping force in the longitudinal direction of the supporting linear structure. The clamping force is exerted, in particular, from the fastening device towards the clamping device. The clamping force can also be called a clamping force.

[0015] A compensation hole can be an opening or recess specifically designed to accommodate an element that performs a compensating function. The compensation hole can also be called an alignment hole. It is preferably an elongated hole. The compensation hole can serve to align or position the supporting linear structure relative to the mounting surface of the fixture. Alternatively or additionally, the compensation hole can serve to align or position the assembly during subsequent installation in the vehicle body. Here, too, the compensation hole can provide scope for precise adjustment and alignment of the assembly within the vehicle body.In the context of the present disclosure, the term ‘compensation hole’ can preferably be understood to mean that the hole is dimensioned large enough to provide the clamping element with some leeway for alignment.

[0016] The clamping element can be designed to exert a clamping force in the longitudinal direction of the supporting linear structure. The clamping element can also be called a clamping element. The clamping element can be designed to clamp the supporting linear structure to the mounting fixture. The clamping force can be directed from the mounting fixture towards the clamping element. The clamping element can serve to clamp the supporting linear structure during assembly, i.e., to prevent bending of the supporting linear structure. The supporting linear structure can be detachably attached to the mounting fixture by means of the clamping element.

[0017] According to one embodiment, the clamping element is movable essentially perpendicular to the mounting surface. The clamping element can be partially moved by placing the supporting linear structure onto it. This mobility allows the clamping element to adapt to the geometry and position of the supporting linear structure. It also allows the clamping element to adapt to the geometry of the compensation hole. This enables precise alignment and support of the supporting linear structure. Moving the clamping element by placing the supporting linear structure onto it can simplify the assembly process. For example, the linear structure does not need to be moved into an exact position; instead, the clamping element can automatically align itself correctly with the mounting fixture.

[0018] The adaptability of the movable clamping element allows for high stability and clamping force to be exerted on the supporting linear structure without deformation or damage. This prevents bending of the supporting linear structure under the load of mounted components.

[0019] According to one embodiment, the assembly device has a base structure. The clamping element is movable essentially perpendicular to the mounting surface, in particular such that it can be recessed into the base structure. The clamping element is preferably mounted on a spring element. The spring element can mount the clamping element in the assembly device so that it is at least partially movable. The spring element is preferably operatively connected to the clamping element. Firstly, the spring element can provide haptic feedback when the supporting linear structure is placed on the mounting surface. This can make the assembly process more intuitive and easier for the operator. Furthermore, the spring element can ensure that the clamping element is moved or recessed into the base structure only over the necessary distance in order to exert the required clamping force on the supporting linear structure.The spring element can partially counteract the sinking of the clamping element with a restoring force. This allows the clamping element to be wedged into the compensation hole. Overall, the use of a spring element can enable precise, user-friendly, and efficient placement of the load-bearing linear structures.

[0020] The spring element can also ensure that the clamping element is returned to its starting position when the supporting linear structure is removed from the mounting device.

[0021] According to one embodiment, the clamping element has an insertion feature. This means that the clamping element preferably has a special design feature that facilitates its insertion into a hole, particularly the compensating hole. The clamping element can therefore have a conical or rounded nose or an insertion chamfer. The clamping device can have a variable cross-section.

[0022] According to one embodiment, the clamping device further comprises a clamping bolt designed to be inserted, at least partially, into the compensation hole in a form-fitting manner, essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the supporting linear structure. The clamping element can, for example, be movably mounted on the clamping bolt. The clamping bolt can, for example, serve as an axis for the clamping element. The clamping bolt itself is preferably fixedly mounted and / or fastened in the assembly device, particularly to the base structure of the assembly device. The clamping bolt can, in particular, engage or be arranged in the compensation hole in a form-fitting manner in one direction, preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the linear structure.

[0023] A second aspect of the present disclosure relates to a method for assembling a component for a vehicle. The method comprises the following steps: • Placing a load-bearing linear structure onto a mounting device, wherein the mounting device comprises a fastening device and a clamping device arranged in the longitudinal direction of the load-bearing linear structure opposite the fastening device, wherein the supporting linear structure is placed on the mounting device in such a way that it is clamped at a first end area by means of the clamping device and fastened at a second end area by means of the fastening device, • Attaching at least one component to the supporting linear structure, wherein, when attaching the at least one component to the supporting linear structure, the clamping device counteracts a bending of the supporting linear structure, wherein the bending is oriented essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the supporting linear structure.

[0024] In a first process step, a load-bearing linear structure is placed onto a mounting fixture. This mounting fixture can consist of two essential elements: a fastening device and a clamping device, which is preferably arranged longitudinally along the linear structure opposite the fastening device. When the load-bearing linear structure is placed onto the mounting fixture, it is clamped at one end by means of the clamping device and secured at the other end by the fastening device. This design has the advantage that the load-bearing linear structure can be positioned precisely and stably before other components can be attached to it. In the context of this disclosure, the term 'resting' can be understood to mean that a component is positioned flat and resting on another component.

[0025] In a second process step, which is preferably carried out after the first, at least one component can then be attached to the supporting linear structure. The clamping device can counteract any bending of the linear structure perpendicular to its longitudinal direction. This enables precise and distortion-free attachment or fastening of the components. The clamping device of the assembly fixture can therefore ensure that the supporting linear structure retains its shape during the fastening process and that no deformations occur. The clamping device can also be used to compensate for tolerances.

[0026] All advantages, disclosures and / or descriptions presented above and / or below relating to the assembly device apply equally to the method of assembling a component for a vehicle, and vice versa.

[0027] According to one embodiment of the method, the clamping device has a clamping element. When the supporting linear structure is placed on the device, the clamping element is moved essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the supporting linear structure. When the supporting linear structure is placed on the mounting device, the clamping element can initially be partially pressed into the mounting device. At this point, a spring element can optionally provide support by partially counteracting the pressure on the clamping element. This can, for example, provide haptic feedback to the operator. When the supporting linear structure rests completely on the mounting surface of the mounting device, the clamping element can preferably be clamped in a corresponding compensation hole in the linear structure.This clamping of the clamping element can serve to hold the linear structure precisely in position and to prevent bending or deformation during the fastening of at least one component to the supporting linear structure.

[0028] The inclusion of a spring element can be helpful in facilitating and / or supporting the precise clamping of the clamping element into the compensation hole. The spring element can exert counter-pressure that can bring the clamping element into its final position.

[0029] According to one embodiment of the method, the supporting linear structure has a compensation hole at its first end region. The supporting linear structure is placed on the mounting device in such a way that the clamping device, in particular the clamping element of the clamping device, is received in the compensation hole, particularly partially in a form-fit manner. A partially form-fit reception of the clamping element in the compensation hole can be understood as meaning that the clamping element can bear against an inner end face of the compensation hole at least in one spatial direction. This ensures, for example, that the desired clamping force can be generated precisely. This effectively counteracts any bending of the supporting linear structure.

[0030] According to one embodiment of the method, after the at least one component has been attached, the supporting linear structure is removed from the assembly device, particularly without tools. Once all the necessary components and / or parts have been mounted to the supporting linear structure, it can be easily lifted from the assembly device and removed without the need for special tools. This is particularly possible because the supporting linear structure can simply rest on the mounting surface of the assembly device throughout the entire assembly process without being rigidly connected to it. A connection of the linear structure parallel to gravity, i.e., preferably perpendicular to the mounting surface, is therefore unnecessary. The design of the fastening and clamping device allows the supporting linear structure to be easily lifted and removed from the assembly device without tools after assembly is complete.Once the assembly is complete, the linear structure can be quickly and easily removed from the mounting fixture, which can make the process more efficient overall.

[0031] Alternatively, the fastening device can detachably connect or fix the supporting linear structure to the mounting device. In this case, the supporting linear structure can be detached from the mounting device using a tool.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the method, the supporting linear structure has a mounting hole at its second end region. The supporting linear structure is placed onto the mounting device in such a way that the mounting device is received into the mounting hole, in particular in a form-fitting manner.

[0033] According to one embodiment of the method, an assembly device, as described above and / or below, is used.

[0034] A third aspect of the present application relates to an assembly which is assembled according to a method as described above and / or below. Alternatively or additionally, the assembly is assembled using an assembly device as described above and / or below. The assembly comprises a load-bearing linear structure and at least one component attached to the load-bearing linear structure.

[0035] All benefits, revelations and / or explanations described above and / or below in relation to one aspect of the present revelation apply equally to all other aspects of the present revelation.

[0036] Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the figures. The figures show: Fig. 1 a load-bearing linear structure for a vehicle, Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b Detailed views of the supporting linear structure of the Fig. 1, Fig. 3 a mounting device according to an exemplary embodiment, Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b a clamping device according to an exemplary embodiment, and Fig. 5 a clamping device according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0037] Similar, similar-looking, identical, or equivalent elements are marked with similar or identical reference symbols in the figures. The figures are merely schematic and not to scale.

[0038] Fig. Figures 1 to 2b show a load-bearing linear structure 20 for a vehicle. In particular, it shows Fig. 1. A load-bearing linear structure 20 for a vehicle assembly, which is mounted on a workpiece carrier according to the prior art. The load-bearing linear structure 20 extends mainly in the y-direction. The load-bearing linear structure 20 has a compensation hole 15 at its first end region 31 (see Figure 1). Fig. 2a). The supporting linear structure 20 has a mounting hole 22 at its second end region 32. The supporting linear structure 20 rests on a workpiece carrier according to the prior art and is fastened to the workpiece carrier at least in the y-direction at its second end region 32 by means of a fastening device 23. The linear structure 20 is placed on the workpiece carrier of the prior art in the assembly direction M, i.e., essentially parallel to the x-axis (see Figure 2a). Fig. 2a). A bolt is provided at the first end region 31 of the linear structure 20, which is inserted into the compensation hole 15 (see figure). Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b) Providing a compensation hole 15 is advantageous for tolerance reasons. However, the bolt of the workpiece carrier in the prior art is positioned in the compensation hole 15 in such a way that a clearance A exists. After the linear structure 20 has been attached to the workpiece carrier, components such as air conditioning units, steering columns, wiring harnesses, screens, or radio systems can be attached to the linear structure 20. Such systems or components can be heavy. When the components are mounted to the linear structure 20, the linear structure 20 can bend B. The clearance A can allow for this bending B.

[0039] Fig. Figure 3 shows an assembly device 100 according to an exemplary embodiment. The assembly device 100 can be used for assembling a component assembly comprising a supporting linear structure 20, such as that of the Fig. 1 to 2b, are used. The mounting device 100 has a contact surface 13 onto which a supporting linear structure 20 can be placed. The supporting linear structure 20 is preferably placed on the contact surface 13 of the mounting device 100 in the mounting direction M, i.e., essentially parallel to the x-direction. The contact surface 13 can be a surface of the base structure 12 of the mounting device 100.

[0040] The mounting device 100 preferably comprises a fastening device 23 with a fastening bolt 24. The fastening device 23 is preferably arranged at an end region of the mounting device 100 corresponding to the second end region 32 of the supporting linear structure 20. The fastening device 23 can, for example, project from the contact surface 13 substantially perpendicular to the contact surface 13. The fastening bolt 24 can be conical. The fastening device 23 is preferably designed to be inserted into a fastening hole 22 of the supporting linear structure 20. The fastening bolt 24 can have a cross-section that is matched to the cross-section of the fastening hole 22. The fastening device 23 and the fastening hole 22 are preferably designed such that they allow as little play as possible in the fastening hole 22.In contrast, the compensation hole 15 of the supporting linear structure 20 can serve to compensate for tolerances. This tolerance compensation can be advantageous both for the assembly process and for the subsequent installation of the assembly into the body of a vehicle.

[0041] The assembly device 100 further comprises a clamping device 10. The clamping device 10 is preferably arranged at an end of the assembly device 100 corresponding to the first end region 31 of the supporting linear structure 20. This means that the clamping device 10 is arranged in the longitudinal direction y of the supporting linear structure 20 relative to the fastening device 23. The clamping device 10 is designed to clamp the supporting linear structure 20 at its first end region 31. For this purpose, the clamping device 10 preferably comprises a clamping element 14, which is designed to be inserted into the compensation hole 15 of the supporting linear structure 20. The compensation hole 15 is preferably arranged substantially at the first end region 31 of the supporting linear structure 20. The clamping element 14 can be indirectly attached to the assembly device 100 by means of a spring element 16.Furthermore, the clamping device 10 can have a clamping bolt 18, which can serve as a bearing axis for the clamping element 14. The clamping element 14 is preferably oriented substantially perpendicular to the contact surface 13 and is particularly movable. The clamping element 14 can be moved in the x-direction with or without the clamping bolt 18. The clamping element 14 can be operatively connected to the spring element 16. When the clamping element 14 is lowered into the assembly device 100, in particular into the base structure 12 of the assembly device 100, the spring element 16 can be compressed. To move the clamping element 14 into the assembly device 100, pressure is preferably exerted on the clamping element 14, in particular by placing the supporting linear structure 20 onto the contact surface 13.

[0042] Fig. 4a and Fig. Figure 4b shows a clamping device 10 according to an exemplary embodiment. In particular, they show Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b the process step of placing the supporting linear structure 20 onto the assembly device 100, in particular onto the contact surface 13 of the assembly device 100. In Fig. 4a The linear structure 20 is not yet resting on the contact surface 13. The clamping element 14 of the clamping device 10 is therefore in its initial position. In the initial position, the spring element 16, which is preferably operatively connected to the clamping element 14, can be in a relaxed state. The clamping element 14 is preferably mounted on the clamping bolt 18. For this purpose, the clamping bolt 18 can have a groove 11, in particular a vertical groove 11. The clamping element 14 can move vertically, i.e., essentially in the x-direction, into the groove 11. Preferably, the clamping element 14 has a base plate 17, which rests on the spring element 16. The base plate 17 can have an opening for the clamping bolt 18. The clamping element 14 can thus be movably mounted on the clamping bolt 18 by means of the base plate 17 and its opening.

[0043] By placing the supporting linear structure 20 onto the mounting surface 13, the clamping element 14 can first be pressed into the mounting device 100 in the mounting direction M. The supporting linear structure 20 preferably comes into contact K with the clamping element 14. Preferably, the clamping element 14 has an insertion feature 21 that can come into contact K with the supporting linear structure 20. The cross-section of the compensation hole 15 of the supporting linear structure 20 is preferably larger than the cross-section of the clamping bolt 18 together with the clamping element 14. Since there is preferably no clearance between the mounting hole 22 and the mounting device 23 at the second end region 32 of the supporting linear structure 20, the supporting linear structure 20 cannot be moved back and forth in the y-direction at its first end region 31.

[0044] By pressing in the clamping element 14, the spring element 16 can be compressed. When the supporting linear structure 20 rests on the contact surface 13, the spring element 16 is preferably in a tensioned state. The spring element 16 can exert a restoring force which can assist in clamping the clamping element 14 in the compensation hole 15. The base plate 17 of the clamping element 14 can press against the spring element 16, in particular over a surface and / or uniformly. By clamping the clamping element 14 in the compensation hole 15, in particular between the clamping bolt 18 and the supporting linear structure 20, the clamping element 14 can exert a clamping force F (see Figure 1). Fig. 5).

[0045] When mounting a component to the supporting linear structure 20 in a rotation-dependent manner (rotating around y), weight is typically applied to the supporting linear structure 20 in different rotational positions of the mounting device 100. The component, e.g., a heater, can exert a force essentially parallel to the x-axis. This can cause a bending B essentially parallel to the x-direction (cf. Fig. 1) Because the clamping element 14 can be clamped, the clamping element 14 can counteract a bending B by exerting a clamping force F.

[0046] Fig. Figure 5 shows a clamping device 10 according to an exemplary embodiment. In particular, it shows Fig. 5 a top view of the Fig. 4a and Fig. 4b. The clamping element 14 is in Fig.5 is positively engaged in the compensation hole 15 at least on one end face. The clamping bolt 18 is essentially cylindrical. However, square or oval cross-sections, or geometric combinations thereof, are also possible. Preferably, this clamping bolt 18 has a groove 11, which can serve as a guide for the clamping element 14. The clamping bolt 18 is preferably positively engaged in the compensation hole 15 in the z-direction. The clamping force F can counteract bending of the supporting linear structure 20. The clamping force F is preferably exerted from the fastening device 23 towards the clamping device 10.
