Description

[0001] The invention relates to a console for a rear area of ​​a passenger car, wherein the console has a first receptacle for a C-pillar of the motor vehicle.

[0002] DE 10 2008 024 702 A1 A1 discloses a console for a rear section of a passenger car according to the preamble of claim 1. The console has support struts and is connected via these to a vehicle longitudinal member, to which two cross members are attached. These cross members are connected on the other side of the passenger car to another vehicle longitudinal member and, via this, to another console for supporting the other C-pillar of the motor vehicle. The console is part of a stiffening structure of the motor vehicle, to which not only the aforementioned cross members but also a wheel house can be attached.

[0003] From DE 10 2010 030 295 A1, a rear integral component in a passenger car is known which includes a linkage on the rear axle of the motor vehicle as well as the bearing of a spring strut of the motor vehicle.

[0004] DE 101 09 784 A1 describes a self-supporting body for a passenger car. This body features a central stiffening structure in the vehicle body between a passenger compartment and a trunk.

[0005] DE 103 43 865 A1 and DE 10 2010 054 466 A1 disclose further prior art.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to further develop a console of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, with a structurally simple design, it contributes significantly to ensuring a high torsional rigidity of the entire motor vehicle.

[0007] The problem is solved by a console according to claim 1.

[0008] In the console designed according to the invention, the second receptacle serves to support a front cross member of the motor vehicle, providing lateral reinforcement of the motor vehicle in a front area of ​​the console. In particular, the second receptacle serves to connect the front cross member, which can be arranged in a rear area of ​​a floor of a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.

[0009] In the console according to the invention, the third receptacle serves to accommodate the rear cross member of the motor vehicle. This cross member is arranged in a rear area of ​​the console. In particular, the third receptacle serving to connect the rear cross member serves to connect a cross member of a spare wheel well of the motor vehicle.

[0010] In the console according to the invention, the fourth mount for the damper is arranged adjacent to the first mount for the C-pillar.

[0011] In the console according to the invention, the first mount for the C-pillar and the fourth mount for the damper are located in an upper area of ​​the console. If both of these mounts are located in the upper area of ​​the console, forces introduced into the console via the damper can be transmitted to the C-pillar via a short path.

[0012] In the console according to the invention, the fifth mount for the seat backrest bearing is located above the second mount for the front cross member. This makes it possible to position the backrest bearing directly behind the floor of the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

[0013] The second and third mounts are preferably located in a lower area of ​​the console. This area allows for particularly simple connection of the cross members to the second and third mounts provided there.

[0014] It is considered particularly advantageous if the bracket can be connected to a part of the vehicle's floor assembly. This allows forces, especially torsional forces, to be transmitted directly to the vehicle's floor assembly via the bracket.

[0015] The bracket is preferably made of metal and is particularly designed as a cast part. The cast part allows for the various receptacles provided according to the invention to be implemented in the bracket in a particularly simple manufacturing process.

[0016] Preferably, the console is connectable to another console via the two cross members, wherein the additional console is provided with the five receptacles discussed above. Accordingly, the passenger car is provided with a console in the area of ​​each side, where the respective C-pillar is provided, wherein the two consoles are connected by means of the two cross members. The two cross members are connected in the second and third receptacles of the respective console, and the first receptacle of the respective console serves as the receptacle for the C-pillar, the fourth receptacle for the chassis damper, and the fifth receptacle for the seat backrest bearing.

[0017] Further features of the invention emerge from the subclaims, the attached drawing and the description of the preferred embodiment shown in the drawing, without being limited thereto.

[0018] It shows: Fig. 1 a console shown in a spatial view, seen diagonally from above, Fig. 2 the console shown in a spatial view, seen diagonally from below, Fig. 3 the console installed in a motor vehicle, shown in a three-dimensional view, seen obliquely from above.

[0019] The Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 Console 1 shown as a single part is made of metal and is designed as a cast part.

[0020] Fig. Figure 3 shows the arrangement of the console 1 in the area of ​​the components of a passenger car that interact with the console 1, or adjacent components of the motor vehicle. Shown, with respect to the section of the passenger car 2 shown and in the direction of travel, are a left front longitudinal member 3, a left rear wheel housing 4, a front cross member 5, a rear cross member 6, a spare wheel well 7 arranged in front of the front cross member 5 and connected to it, and a left C-pillar 8 of the motor vehicle.

[0021] On the right side, the passenger car 2 is designed in the rear area similarly to the illustrated left side, only mirror-symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the passenger car 2. Thus, the illustrated left longitudinal member 3 and a right longitudinal member connect the two cross members 5 and 6, which are arranged in the transverse direction of the passenger car 2. The front cross member 5 is a cross member of the spare wheel well 7.

[0022] The console 1 is shaped so that it can be positioned in partial areas on the inside and top of the wheel housing 4, thus being positioned in a defined manner by the wheel housing 4. The console 1 is riveted and / or glued to the wheel housing 4 and the longitudinal member 3.

[0023] The console 1 has five mounts. Specifically, it has a first mount 9 for the C-pillar 8, a second mount 10 for the front cross member 5, a third mount 11 for the rear cross member 6, a fourth mount 12 for a damper of a chassis of the passenger car 2, and a fifth mount 13 for a bearing of a seat back of the motor vehicle.

[0024] These individual recordings discussed are particularly dedicated to the representation of the Fig. 1.

[0025] In relation to the top view of the console 1, it is U-shaped in the area of ​​the holder 9 and serves to hold the C-pillar 8. In relation to a side view of the console 1, the holders 10 and 11 are also U-shaped and serve to hold the cross members 5 and 6 respectively. The holder 12 for the damper has a plate section 14 with a hole 15 integrated into the console 1. The damper of the chassis is positioned below the plate section 14 and passes through the hole 15 in the plate section 14 with a connecting element. There the damper is screwed to the holder 12. Vertically oriented, in the front area of ​​the console 1, the holder 13 for the bearing of the seat back of the rear seat of the passenger car 2 is arranged. To hold the bearing, a vertically arranged plate section 16 is provided with a hole 17. The bearing is screwed to the holder 13 in the area of ​​the hole 17.

[0026] The mount 10 thus serves to connect the front cross member 5 arranged in a rear area of ​​a floor of the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. The rear cross member 6 represents a cross member of a spare wheel well of the passenger car 2. The mount 12 for the damper of the passenger car 2 is arranged adjacent to the mount 9 for the C-pillar 8. The mount 9 for the C-pillar 8 and the mount 12 for the damper are arranged in an upper area of ​​the console 1. The mount 13 for the seat backrest bearing is arranged above the mount 10 for the front cross member 5. The mounts 10 and 11 are arranged in a lower area of ​​the console. The console 1 is connected to a floor assembly part, specifically to the side member 3 of the passenger car 2.

[0027] The passenger car is, in particular, a sports car.
