Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a receiving system for receiving at least one guided device, in particular an electrical device, in an instrument panel of a motor vehicle. The invention also relates to an electrical module comprising the receiving system and the guided device, and to a motor vehicle having the receiving system or the electrical module. Background Art

[0002] Modern motor vehicles now have a large number of electronically controlled functions. This trend continues to grow. In the arrangement of electrical and electronic equipment, the goal is always to make full use of the limited installation space of the vehicle as efficiently as possible.

[0003] A common method for arranging the controller is to place it in the structural space behind the glove box. However, this is often accompanied by reduced storage space in the glove box, which is disadvantageous from the user's point of view. Therefore, there is an object to arrange the electrical device in such a way that the vehicle structural space can be utilized as much as possible, which is suitable for the vehicle user as a full utilization of the storage space.

[0004] Document EP 1972498 B1 shows a module for a drawer of a dashboard of a motor vehicle for accommodating various objects or items, which comprises a container with a closable access opening, wherein a door element is movable by means of a hinge element. In a special embodiment of the module shown in document EP 1972498 B1, it is designed to arrange a laptop in a motor vehicle so that it can be provided for use in a simple manner.

[0005] Accordingly, devices are primarily known from the prior art that enable electrical devices to be arranged in a well in an instrument panel. However, these embodiments do not allow, or do not allow in a simple manner, a multiple arrangement of electrical devices in this spatial region. Summary of the invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a receiving system as well as an electrical module and a motor vehicle equipped therewith, which enable at least one electrical device to be arranged in an instrument panel of the motor vehicle in an efficient manner in terms of installation space.

[0007] This object is achieved according to the invention by a housing system according to the invention and by an electrical module according to the invention. Advantageous designs of the housing system are listed in the invention. Advantageous designs of the electrical module are listed in the invention. A motor vehicle according to the invention is also provided.

[0008] A first aspect of the present invention is a receiving system for receiving at least one guided device, in particular an electrical device, in an instrument panel of a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car. The receiving system has a receiving unit for spatially receiving the guided device in the receiving system, and a guide for enabling a guided insertion movement of the guided device, in particular the electrical device, into the receiving unit. In addition, the guide is fixed with respect to the receiving unit and defines a nonlinear movement track as a whole, so that the guided device can be oriented in a first spatial orientation when moving along the guide on the outer side of the receiving system facing the driver of the motor vehicle equipped with the receiving system at the beginning of the insertion movement through the insertion opening. After the insertion movement is carried out, if the guided device is in a position spaced apart from the outer side, the guided device can be oriented in a second spatial orientation in the receiving unit that is different from the first spatial orientation.

[0009] The guided device is located in a position spaced apart outside the plane in which the insertion opening is located.

[0010] The guided device is in particular an electrical device. Here, it can be, for example, an electronic control unit of a motor vehicle, such as a central computer.

[0011] The receiving unit is used for the spatial arrangement of the guided device in a position spaced apart from the outer side of the receiving system, which outer side faces the driver of a motor vehicle equipped with the receiving system according to the invention and has an insertion opening. The guided device can be moved toward the front of the vehicle when carrying out an insertion movement through the insertion opening. The guided device can thus be arranged in the structural space behind the outer side of the receiving system.

[0012] In the sense of the invention, a spaced-apart position is to be understood as meaning that the guided device can be moved through the insertion opening so far that, when reaching the end position of the guide rail, the guided device is arranged completely behind the plane in which the insertion opening is located. In other words, when the guided device is oriented in the second spatial orientation and reaches its end position, the insertion opening is completely open.

[0013] Advantageously, the guided device is spaced far enough from the outside of the receiving system in its end position that installation space directly behind the outside of the receiving system is available for positioning further devices, in particular further electrical appliances, in the receiving system.

[0014] The receiving unit can be designed as a housing for receiving a guided device, in particular in the form of an electronic device, which is arranged or can be arranged fixedly relative to a dashboard console of the motor vehicle.

[0015] The guide is arranged in a fixed spatial relationship relative to the receiving unit, so that the arrangement of the guided device in the receiving device can be achieved by means of a guided insertion movement achieved by the guide. At the end of the insertion movement, the guided device occupies a defined end position in the receiving device. The guide of the receiving system according to the invention generally defines a nonlinear movement track, on which the guided device can be guided. In other words, the insertion movement describes a path with at least one change of direction. It is thus possible that at the beginning of the insertion process, the guided device is oriented in a first spatial orientation with respect to the outside of the receiving system, and during the insertion process (i.e. when reaching the section of the change of direction of the guide) its spatial orientation is changed, and thus it can be arranged in the receiving unit in a second spatial orientation in a position away from the outside of the receiving system. In other words, the rotation or swinging of the guided device about an axis extending perpendicular to the plane of the movement direction is achieved by the nonlinear movement track of the guide.

[0016] Advantageously, the section of the guide in which the direction is changed is so far away from the outside of the receiving system that the guided device is already introduced into the receiving device so far at this point in the insertion movement that the guided device is completely behind the outside of the receiving system in the direction of the vehicle front at the latest after the end of the direction change, wherein it does not necessarily have to have reached its end position at this point, so that the insertion movement does not necessarily have to be ended. This is particularly advantageous if the receiving system has an insertion opening which is delimited by a wall, through which the guided device has to be guided.

[0017] Accordingly, it is configured that the guided device can be inserted into a cavity or opening in the instrument panel through the nonlinear movement track of the guide part and, after reaching a relatively large distance from the outside, be brought into a position rotated relative to the orientation at the beginning of the insertion movement, in which position the guided device can be fixed.

[0018] The receiving system according to the invention has the advantage that guided devices, in particular electrical devices such as a central computer, can be positioned in the instrument console in a space-efficient manner.

[0019] In one embodiment of the receiving system according to the invention, the guide is designed to enable a guided insertion movement approximately in a plane perpendicular to the outer side of the receiving system.

[0020] The guide portion is arranged relative to the outside of the receiving system, in particular relative to the plane of the insertion opening, so that the plane in which the insertion movement is carried out is oriented perpendicular to the outside of the receiving system, so that the guided device can be introduced by the insertion movement from the outside of the receiving system into a structural space placed toward the front of the vehicle and thus into the instrument panel or into the space reserved by the instrument panel.

[0021] The plane in which the insertion movement is carried out is in particular parallel to a plane defined by the vehicle longitudinal axis (which in vehicle construction is typically also referred to as the x-axis and corresponds to the insertion direction of the guided device toward the front of the vehicle) and the vehicle height axis (which in vehicle construction is typically also referred to as the z-axis).

[0022] This embodiment of the receiving system according to the invention makes it possible to arrange the guided device, in particular the electrical device, in a construction space disposed toward the front of the vehicle.

[0023] In a further embodiment of the receiving system according to the invention, the receiving system comprises a support structure, wherein the receiving unit is or is connected to the support structure in a mechanically fixed manner with respect to the longitudinal axis.

[0024] The support structure can be, for example, a crossbeam of a motor vehicle. The receiving unit is mechanically connected or connectable to the support structure. Accordingly, the receiving unit and the support structure are set up as a positive and / or force-fit connection. For this purpose, the receiving system according to the invention comprises corresponding connecting means.

[0025] The support structure does not necessarily have to be provided only for the mechanical connection of the receiving unit, but can also be used to fasten further vehicle components.

[0026] The support structure serves to absorb the weight of the guided device, in particular an electrical device.

[0027] Furthermore, it can also be provided that the support structure itself forms the receiving unit, so that the guide device is part of the support structure or is arranged directly on the support structure.

[0028] In a further embodiment of the receiving system according to the invention, the guide comprises two substantially linearly extending guide sections which are arranged at an angle to one another.

[0029] Here, the first linear guide section is arranged spatially closer to the outside of the receiving system and is used to realize the start of the guided insertion movement, while the second linear guide section is used to realize the end area of ​​the guided insertion movement until the end position of the guided device is reached. A connecting area can be formed between the first guide section and the second guide section.

[0030] In this embodiment, the insertion movement accordingly also comprises a first linear insertion movement and a second linear insertion movement as well as a rotational or pivoting movement with a change of direction between the two insertion movements.

[0031] In this case, at least one of the two guide sections has a direction of extension with two directional components in a Cartesian coordinate system.

[0032] In a special embodiment, the first linear guide section has a directional component toward the bottom of the vehicle and an orientation component toward the front of the vehicle, whereby the first linear insertion movement runs diagonally downward when the receiving system is arranged in a manner in the vehicle. The second guide section has a directional component toward the top of the vehicle and a directional component toward the front of the vehicle, whereby the second linear insertion movement runs diagonally upward. In principle, other embodiments are also possible, for example in which the orientation component of the first linear guide section toward the bottom of the vehicle or the directional component of the second linear guide section toward the top of the vehicle is omitted.

[0033] The angle formed by the two guide sections is advantageously in the value range between 90° and 160°.

[0034] The advantage of this embodiment is that the insertion movement of the guided device is carried out on a curved or segmentally curved path of motion, so that the guided device can be arranged in a spatial location where electrical devices are usually not installed.

[0035] In another embodiment of the receiving system according to the invention, the guide comprises at least one track and at least one roller at two opposite sides of the guided device, wherein the roller is designed to roll on the track and thus realize the mechanically guided movement of the guided device, in particular the electrical device, along the moving track.

[0036] The guides are preferably arranged here on two opposite sides of the guided device, which extend in a plane which is approximately parallel to the plane of the insertion movement.

[0037] A path within the meaning of the invention has at least one surface or edge which is designed such that an element can be moved thereon by means of mechanical contact, for example sliding or rolling, on a defined path.

[0038] In particular, the guide can be designed in such a way that a movement transversely to the plane of the insertion movement is prevented.

[0039] In a special embodiment, the rails are arranged on the support structure and / or the receiving unit and the rollers are arranged on the guided device.

[0040] The receiving unit can be mechanically connected to the track. It is also possible that the receiving unit, in particular in the embodiment as a housing, forms the track and that the receiving unit and the guide are thus a structural unit. Alternatively, the track can be connected to the support structure or formed therefrom.

[0041] Embodiments are likewise possible in which the rails are arranged on the guided device and the rollers are correspondingly arranged on the support structure and / or the receiving unit.

[0042] The advantage of this embodiment is the guided and therefore secure insertion movement when the guided device is introduced into the receiving unit.

[0043] In another embodiment of the receiving system according to the invention, in order to locally arrange the guided device, in particular the electrical equipment, outside the space bounded by the shaft, the shaft formed by the receiving system has an insertion opening on its side facing away from the outer side of the receiving system.

[0044] The shaft can be formed at least partially by the receiving unit, in particular if the receiving unit is designed as a housing for receiving the guided device, in particular in the form of an electrical device. Alternatively, the shaft can be formed by a section of the instrument rack. Such a shaft does not necessarily have to be delimited on all sides by walls, but can also be defined by segmental boundaries as an ideal space.

[0045] According to the above-mentioned design form, the well can be completely open or a partial insertion opening can be constructed on its side facing away from or approximately opposite to the outer side of the receiving system. In particular, the insertion opening is opened in the direction of the second linear insertion movement.

[0046] The well can be formed by a wall section of the receiving unit. It is possible that the well is designed in such a way that it defines the insertion movement of the electrical device in addition to the guide at least in the section of the insertion movement. For this purpose, the wall section of the receiving unit can be designed and arranged in such a way that it forms a contact surface for the guided device during the insertion movement. Depending on the design of the guide, this can assist in the reliable introduction of the guided device, in particular in the area of ​​the change of direction of the insertion movement.

[0047] At least on the side of the well facing the passenger compartment, the well has an external limitation by a well wall, which is arranged and dimensioned so that it is compatible with an opening of an instrument panel connected to the outside of the containment system, so that there is a minimum spacing between the inner wall of the opening and the well wall.

[0048] Furthermore, the shaft is compatible with the device to be guided, at least with regard to its width (ie its extension transversely to the insertion movement), in terms of shape and size, in particular if the device to be guided is designed as an electrical device.

[0049] In a special embodiment, the shaft comprises two shaft sections, wherein the first shaft section is substantially associated with the first guide section and the second shaft section is substantially associated with the second guide section.

[0050] The design of the receiving system according to the invention with a through-opening makes it possible to introduce the guided device beyond the shaft formed by the receiving system into the installation space towards the front of the vehicle and thus effectively utilize additional installation space.

[0051] A further aspect of the invention relates to an electrical module comprising a receiving system according to the invention and at least one guided device arranged in the receiving unit and designed as an electrical apparatus.

[0052] Thus, a unit is provided for a motor vehicle which can be arranged in an efficient manner in terms of construction space for accommodating, for example, a central computer.

[0053] In one embodiment of the electrical module, the guided device, which is designed as an electrical device, is fixed in the receiving unit, in particular by means of a latch.

[0054] The fastening between the receiving unit and the electrical device is advantageously achieved by means of a snap-in connection. The snap-in connection has the advantage that concealed assembly and fastening can be reliably achieved at a greater distance from the accessible side (which corresponds to the side facing the driver of the motor vehicle equipped with the receiving system according to the invention), in particular in conjunction with a guided insertion movement of the guided device.

[0055] By means of this fixing, the guided device is arranged fixedly in its position relative to the instrument support. In particular, a fixed position arrangement is required in order to ensure a reliable electrical and data connection between the electrical device and the device connected or connectable to the electrical device.

[0056] In a further embodiment of the electrical module, at least one second electrical device is arranged on or in the receiving system in such a way that one side of the second electrical device is arranged approximately in a plane of the outer side of the receiving system.

[0057] In particular, one side of the second electrical device is arranged in the insertion opening so that the insertion opening is at least completely or partially covered by the side of the second electrical device. In the case of only partial covering, the electrical module preferably additionally comprises a cover for the remaining covering of the insertion opening.

[0058] The second electrical device can be, in particular, a further control unit for controlling the electrical vehicle device and / or an operating element for inputting / outputting information for the driver.

[0059] In this embodiment, the receiving system advantageously additionally comprises a fastening device which is provided and configured to fasten the second electrical device.

[0060] In principle, it is not excluded that the guide can be at least partially used for arranging the second electrical device. Alternatively or additionally, a second guide and / or positioning device can be provided for positioning the second electrical device. This is particularly advantageous if the second electrical device can thereby be arranged in a space-efficient manner in combination with the guided device with respect to its dimensions.

[0061] In the embodiment of the electrical module with a second electrical device and a guided device, both of which are arranged in the receiving unit, the second shaft section is advantageously compatible in its cross section with the cross section of the guided device in terms of shape and size. The second shaft section advantageously has a larger cross section, in particular twice as large. This facilitates the assembly of the guided device along the guide in a curved or angled insertion movement. On the other hand, this makes it easier to arrange the second electrical device in the shaft.

[0062] Thus, a module is provided which, in addition to the guided device, comprises at least one second electrical device.

[0063] A third aspect of the invention is a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, which comprises a receiving system according to the invention or an electrical module according to the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0070] Figure 6 The arrangement of an electrical module according to the invention arranged in an instrument panel is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0071] Figure 1The receiving unit 40 of the receiving system according to the present invention is shown in a three-dimensional view. The outer side 11 of the receiving system faces the vehicle interior when the receiving system is arranged in the vehicle as required. In this embodiment, the receiving unit 40 is implemented as a housing and forms a shaft 41, whose wall has a recess or a notch. The insertion hole 12 is located in the plane of the outer side 11 of the receiving system. The receiving unit 40 forms an insertion opening 13 on the side that is approximately opposite to the insertion hole 12. The receiving unit 40 is designed so that the guided device (which is an electrical device in the embodiment shown below) can be introduced into the receiving unit 40 through the insertion hole 12 or can be arranged at the insertion hole 12. With the help of the guide 50 (which includes two rails 55 in the embodiment shown), the electrical device can be moved in the shaft 41 on a non-linear movement track in the direction of the front of the vehicle. It can be seen that the guide 50 is angled to realize the non-linear movement track. Depending on the shape and size of the electrical device, it can be moved through the insertion opening 13 and thus at least partially arranged outside the space limited by the shaft 41.

[0072] Figure 2 A design of an electrical module 1 according to the invention with three electrical devices 21, 22, 23 arranged in or on a receiving unit 40 is shown in a section in the xz plane. In this design, the receiving unit 40, which is implemented as a housing, also forms a shaft 41 with an insertion opening 13, which is at least partially open to the front of the vehicle when arranged in the vehicle as required. The first electrical device 21, which is introduced through the insertion opening 12 in the first assembly step during the assembly of the electrical module 1, is arranged in the receiving unit 40 in a second spatial orientation 32. The first electrical device 21 is, for example, a central computer of a motor vehicle equipped with a receiving system according to the invention. It can be seen that it is basically possible to move the first electrical device 21 further in the xz direction through the insertion opening 13 and thus release further structural space in the shaft 41.

[0073] The second device 22 is arranged in the remaining structural space in the first spatial orientation 31 so that one of its sides, namely the side facing the vehicle interior, is in the plane of the insertion opening 12. The second electrical device 22 can be, for example, another control unit of a vehicle to be equipped with the electrical module 1 according to the invention. The structural space remaining in the shaft 41 can be used to accommodate further devices, be used for cable routing and / or remain free to ensure adequate ventilation and / or cooling of the arranged devices.

[0074] In the embodiment shown here, a third electrical device 23 is additionally arranged on the outer side 11 of the receiving system in such a way that its side facing away from the vehicle interior is also approximately located in the insertion opening 12. The third electrical device 23 is typically an operating unit that enables the driver to control various vehicle functions. Alternatively, however, a cover can also be installed instead of the third device 23, which closes the receiving system toward the vehicle interior.

[0075] Figure 3 A design form of the electrical module 1 according to the present invention is shown, in which only the second electrical device 22 is arranged in the first spatial orientation 31 and the third electrical device 23 is arranged on the outside 11 of the accommodation system. It is also shown here that the shaft 41 constructed by the accommodation unit 40 has two shaft sections 44, 45, wherein the cross section of the first shaft section 44 in a plane parallel to the insertion hole 12 is larger than the cross section of the second shaft section 45 in a plane parallel to the insertion opening 13. Accordingly, the insertion hole 12 is larger than the insertion opening 13. This is particularly applicable to its height measurement. This embodiment is advantageous in terms of the assembly of the first electrical device 21 and its guidance on a nonlinear motion track.

[0076] Figure 4 According to another embodiment of the electrical module 1 according to the invention, it is shown how a fourth further electrical device 24 can be arranged in the first shaft section 44 in the receiving unit 40 in parallel to the second electrical device 22 in the first spatial orientation 31. A third electrical device 23 is also arranged here, as in Figure 2 and 3 as shown in .

[0077] Figure 5 The three-dimensional illustration from the outside shows an embodiment which corresponds approximately to Figure 2 . A first electrical device 21 is arranged in the second spatial orientation 32 in the accommodation unit 40. A third electrical device 23 is arranged on the side facing the vehicle interior, which is implemented as an operating unit here. The second electrical device 22 cannot be seen based on the view. The first electrical device 21 is locked with the accommodation unit 40 by means of a locking element 61. It can be seen that the accommodation unit 40 has a material recess or notch. This is particularly advantageous with regard to ventilation and / or cooling of the electrical devices 21, 22, 23.

[0078] Figure 6The arrangement of the electrical module 1 according to the invention in the instrument panel 5 of a motor vehicle is shown in a section in the xz plane. The receiving unit 40 is equipped with a first electrical device 21 in a second spatial orientation 32. It can be seen that the first electrical device 21 is connected to the receiving unit 40 by means of a latching element 61 via a latching portion 60. It can also be seen that the receiving unit 40 is connected to the support structure 70 by means of a connecting device 63. In the example shown, the support structure 70 is at least partially formed by a support tube, which extends in the y direction and therefore transversely to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The fixing of the electrical module 1 according to the invention in the instrument panel 5 is achieved by means of the fixing device 65 shown.

[0079] exist Figure 6 The arrangement and orientation of the guide 50 with respect to the accommodating unit 40 are shown in the diagram. It can be recognized that the guide 50 is constructed by two substantially linear guide sections 51 and 52, which are arranged at an angle to each other. In the example shown, the first guide section 51 (which is mainly used for the first electrical device 21 to move through the first shaft section 44 of the shaft 40) is implemented significantly longer than the second guide section 52 (which is mainly used for the first electrical device 21 to move through the second shaft section 45 of the shaft 40). However, this embodiment is by no means mandatory. It is obtained by the size of the first electrical device 21, the design of the accommodating unit 40 / and / or the structural mutual coordination of the first electrical device 21 with respect to the desired terminal position of the insertion port 13. In this example, the guide 50 is also implemented continuously, which is also not necessarily a mandatory situation. The interruption of the guide track 55 between the first guide section 51 and the second guide section 52 is also possible.

[0080] In the embodiment shown here with the receiving unit 40 designed as a housing, it also serves as a structural component, which can absorb tensile and compressive forces at least in the z- and x-directions. Advantageously, the housing includes at least one intended breaking point, which is formed, for example, by means of a wall thickness reduction or material displacement, which minimizes the risk of injury to vehicle occupants caused by the electrical device 22 (which is typically a display and operating element) under strong mechanical loads (such as in an accident). In addition, damage to the electrical device can be avoided.
