Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a mounting arrangement for a compartment, wherein the mounting arrangement comprises a compartment, a mounting frame, and at least one guide rail. The guide rail has a contact surface facing the compartment, wherein the compartment rests at least partially against the contact surface of the guide rail. The contact surface is inclined by 10° to 80° relative to a bottom surface of the compartment (the side of the bottom of the compartment facing the compartment interior) and / or to a horizontal plane.
[0002] By way of example, WO 2008 / 023 181 A2 discloses a movable support device comprising a base, a support element, and a pair of rails that slidably connect the base to the support elements. A car center console is cited as an example of the support element. Each rail comprises a pair of elongated elements that slidably engage with each other, with one elongated element of the rails being secured relative to the base and the other elongated element being secured relative to the support element.
[0003] Alternatively, FR 2 409 722 A1 describes an arrangement of a compartment that is mounted in a suspended manner. For this purpose, the compartment has recesses on the upper edge of the side walls into which the rollers engage. The rollers are in contact with an upper plate via a support, thus enabling the compartment to move smoothly.
[0004] Furthermore, EP 2 397 370 A1 discloses a guide for a pull-out glove compartment, wherein a first part is connected to the glove compartment and a second part is connected to the dashboard. The first and second parts are connected in a sliding manner. The guide is characterized by being realized by means of a first segment and a second segment of the same profile bar, respectively.
[0005] Furthermore, US 4,606,588 A describes a guide structure comprising an outer rail and an inner rail, wherein the outer rail extends into the inner rail and at least three balls are arranged within the inner structure. This guide structure is further characterized in that they establish a connection between a compartment and a mounting frame.
[0006] The described mounting arrangements have the disadvantage that manufacturing tolerances of the compartment in the lateral direction, via the guide rail, which is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, lead to a shift in the position of the compartment in the vertical direction. Such shifts are undesirable and lead, for example, to a suboptimal arrangement of the compartment cover relative to the compartment.
[0007] The object of the invention is to propose a mounting arrangement for a compartment in which manufacturing tolerances of the compartment do not lead to a vertical displacement of the compartment or only to a reduced extent.
[0008] This object is achieved according to the invention by a mounting arrangement according to claim 1. Advantageous further developments can be found in the dependent claims.
[0009] Because the guide rail is connected to the mounting frame via an intermediate holder, whereby the intermediate holder is a separate component from the compartment and the mounting frame, it can be achieved that a change in the width of the compartment due to manufacturing tolerances no longer leads, or only to a negligible extent, to a vertical displacement of the compartment, i.e. a displacement orthogonal to the bottom surface of the compartment.
[0010] In one embodiment, the intermediate bracket is also a separate component from the guide rail. This embodiment is particularly practical in terms of assembly because it allows the guide rail to be mounted on the compartment first without the intermediate bracket complicating assembly. However, the intermediate bracket can also be formed integrally with the guide rail, with a surface of the intermediate bracket facing towards the compartment forming the guide rail. The advantage of the variant with a guide rail formed integrally with the intermediate bracket is that the number of required parts of the assembly assembly is reduced compared to the variant with a separate guide rail.
[0011] In the following, further, predominantly optional features of the invention and exemplary embodiment are described with reference to a glove compartment. However, any other compartments in vehicles can also be designed as described below. Even if glove compartments are mentioned below, other types of compartments are always to be considered included. When applied to glove compartments, however, the invention and the optional features offer particularly clear advantages over the prior art, since errors with regard to the vertical arrangement are particularly noticeable in glove compartments that are directly in the field of vision of vehicle occupants, so that the avoidance of such errors is particularly important.
[0012] The intermediate bracket can rest on the mounting frame with one contact side. The contact side can be inclined by less than 10° in a direction in which tolerance compensation is to take place (i.e., in which the manufacturing tolerance is to be compensated). In particular, the contact side can be inclined by less than 10° in a direction parallel to the horizontal plane (or the floor surface of the compartment). This allows a width tolerance of the glove compartment to be compensated by moving the intermediate bracket laterally, without affecting the mounting height of the compartment.
[0013] For the purposes of this application, the "lateral direction" refers to the direction that, when the mounting arrangement is installed in a vehicle, is orthogonal to the vehicle's longitudinal direction and the vertical direction (i.e., the direction of gravity when the vehicle is positioned on a level surface). Likewise, for the purposes of this application, the "lateral direction" can be considered the direction that is parallel to a plane spanned by the floor surface of the compartment and at the same time orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the guide rail. The contact side can also be inclined by less than 10° to the floor surface of the compartment in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail.
[0014] Particularly preferably, the mounting arrangement comprises two guide rails, each of which is in contact with or integrated into an intermediate bracket. The two intermediate brackets are arranged on opposite sides of the glove compartment, i.e., viewed in the direction of travel of a vehicle equipped with the mounting arrangement, one of the intermediate brackets is arranged to the left of the glove compartment and the other of the intermediate brackets is arranged to the right of the glove compartment. Both intermediate brackets each have a contact side that is connected to the mounting frame and is inclined laterally by less than 10° relative to the floor surface of the glove compartment.
[0015] The two guide rails can be arranged at the same height. Furthermore, the contact surfaces of the two guide rails can be inclined laterally opposite to each other relative to the compartment floor. The contact surface of a left-hand guide rail, as seen in the direction of travel of the vehicle, can therefore slope from left to right at the same angle as the contact surface of the right-hand guide rail, as seen in the direction of travel of the vehicle, rises from left to right. For example, the contact surface of the left guide rail can slope down by 45° from left to right, while the contact surface of the right guide rail can rise by 45° from left to right.
[0016] A longitudinal direction of the guide rail can correspond to a vehicle longitudinal direction, ie in the longitudinal direction the guide rails can run horizontally.
[0017] In the following, reference is made to the guide rail and the intermediate bracket partly in the singular and partly in the plural. However, the features described below can be applied both to embodiments with one guide rail and one intermediate bracket and to variants with a plurality, in particular two, of guide rails and intermediate brackets.
[0018] In a further embodiment, the at least one guide rail is inclined to the floor surface of the compartment at an angle of between 30° and 60°, between 40° and 50°, or approximately 45°. The specified values refer to the angle of inclination.
[0019] The guide rail can be connected to the glove compartment by means of a first connecting element, which can be designed, for example, as a screw. However, other connecting elements, such as snap-in connectors, can also be used instead of a screw. In particular, the first connecting element can be designed to create a positive connection, i.e., a connection in which the connecting elements engage with each other, thus preventing the connection from becoming loose.
[0020] The guide rail can be connected to the intermediate bracket by means of a second connecting element. The second connecting element can also comprise a screw, for example. However, other connecting elements, particularly those designed to create a positive connection, can also be used for the second connecting element.
[0021] In one embodiment, the second connecting element comprises a clamp that can at least partially encompass the guide rail or engage with the guide rail. The clamp, in turn, is then connected to the intermediate bracket. The connection between the intermediate bracket and the clamp can be designed, for example, as a screw connection.
[0022] As an alternative to connecting the guide rail and intermediate holder by means of a second connecting element, the guide rail can also be integrated into the intermediate holder as mentioned above.
[0023] The intermediate holder can be connected to the mounting frame via its contact side by means of a third connecting element. The third connecting element can be particularly suitable for fastening the intermediate holder to the mounting frame in a plurality of connecting positions, wherein the connecting positions differ from one another with regard to the relative arrangement of the intermediate holder and the mounting frame in the lateral direction, while the connecting positions can be identical with regard to the vertical arrangement of the intermediate holder to the mounting frame. The various connecting positions can merge continuously into one another.The intermediate bracket can therefore be mounted in a first end position, in which the intermediate brackets are mounted with a small distance from one another (to compensate for tolerances in a particularly narrow compartment), and a second end position, in which the intermediate brackets are mounted with a large distance from one another (to compensate for tolerances in a particularly wide compartment). The intermediate bracket can also be mounted in any position along a straight line between the two end positions. This allows the position of the intermediate bracket to be precisely adjusted to an actual tolerance-related deviation in the width of the compartment from the average width of identically constructed compartments.
[0024] The third connecting element can be detachable. The intermediate bracket can be displaceable laterally relative to the mounting frame, particularly when the third connecting element is released. This has the advantage that the glove compartment can be inserted into the mounting frame with the intermediate brackets arranged thereon, with the lateral arrangement of the intermediate brackets automatically adapting to the width of the glove compartment. Manufacturing tolerances regarding the width of the glove compartment thus only result in a laterally offset arrangement of the intermediate bracket. This—in contrast to the vertical displacement of the installation position of the glove compartment—is not disadvantageous for a vehicle user and is therefore acceptable.
[0025] The intermediate bracket or the mounting frame has an elongated hole. The other component (mounting frame or intermediate bracket) can have a further hole, which can be designed as a blind hole or as a through hole. For example, the elongated hole can be arranged in the mounting frame and the further hole in the intermediate bracket. After pushing the glove compartment, which is connected to the guide rail and the intermediate bracket, into the mounting frame, the third connecting element, which is designed as a screw, for example, can be pushed through the elongated hole in the underside of the mounting frame that is connected to the contact side of the intermediate bracket and inserted or screwed into the further hole. The further hole can, for example, have a thread, so that the intermediate bracket can be easily screwed to the mounting frame from the underside of the mounting frame.This variant enables particularly simple installation, as the underside of the mounting frame is usually easily accessible during assembly. Costs can be further reduced by using a thread-forming screw. In this case, the additional hole does not require a thread before the screw is inserted, as the screw cuts its own thread. This reduces the effort associated with manufacturing the intermediate bracket, as a work step for threading the additional hole can be eliminated. In principle, it would also be possible to arrange the oblong hole in the intermediate bracket and the additional hole in the mounting frame. For this purpose, the intermediate bracket could be designed so that the top side of the contact surface is accessible, allowing a screw to be pushed through the oblong hole in the intermediate bracket.Even if the intermediate bracket is designed to provide the best possible access to the top of the contact surface, accessibility to the underside of the mounting frame will generally still be better. Accordingly, mounting from the top of the contact surface is more difficult than the previously described variant with a slotted hole in the mounting frame and another hole in the intermediate bracket.
[0026] In the mounting arrangement described above, it can be provided in particular that the glove compartment is connected to the mounting frame exclusively indirectly via the intermediate bracket or, when two guide rails are used, the two intermediate brackets, in a connection that defines the position of the glove compartment. A connection that defines the position of the glove compartment is meant a connection that determines the relative position of the glove compartment and the mounting frame. In addition, the glove compartment can rest against the mounting frame, for example at its upper end, although this contact does not permanently define the installation position of the glove compartment. Likewise, additional spring connections can be present between the glove compartment and the mounting frame, which preload the glove compartment against the mounting frame but do not permanently define the position of the glove compartment.Such spring connections can reduce unwanted and potentially noise-generating swinging of the glove compartment caused by vibrations while driving.
[0027] The mounting arrangement, as described above, can in particular be designed such that the installation height of the glove compartment remains identical if the glove compartment is replaced by a glove compartment of the same construction which only differs from the glove compartment by, for example, 1 mm in terms of lateral extension. The installation height of the compartment can therefore be independent of the width of the compartment, provided the width lies between a predetermined minimum and maximum width. There can therefore be a width range (i.e. a continuous range between a minimum and a maximum width) for the glove compartment in which a change in the width of the glove compartment does not lead to a change in the installation height. The minimum and maximum width depend on the precise design of the mounting frame, the glove compartment and the intermediate bracket.A maximum width can be determined, for example, by the intermediate bracket abutting the side of the mounting frame and thus being unable to slide further outwards. If the intermediate bracket can be moved using an elongated hole in the mounting frame and / or in the intermediate bracket, the difference between the maximum and minimum width of the glove compartment can correspond to the difference between the length of the elongated hole and the width of the elongated hole. If two intermediate brackets are used on opposite sides of the compartment, with both intermediate brackets each being connected to the mounting frame via an elongated hole, the difference between the maximum and minimum width of the compartment can correspond to the difference between the sum of the lengths of the elongated holes and the sum of the widths of the elongated holes.
[0028] In addition to a mounting arrangement for a glove compartment, the invention relates to a vehicle having a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction and being equipped with the mounting arrangement described above.
[0029] The invention further relates to an assembly method for installing a compartment. In the assembly method, the glove compartment is connected to the guide rail and the guide rail is connected to the intermediate bracket in a first method step. Depending on the design, either the glove compartment is connected to the guide rail or the intermediate bracket is connected to the guide rail first. However, the first order is the most practical for most variants of assembly arrangements because, depending on the design of the intermediate bracket and the guide rail, the intermediate bracket may cover openings in the guide rail that are used to mount the guide rail on the glove compartment. In variants with a guide rail integrated in the intermediate bracket, only the intermediate bracket with the integrated guide rail is attached to the glove compartment in the first method step.
[0030] After the glove compartment is connected to the guide rail and the guide rail to the intermediate bracket (or, typically, two guide rails and two intermediate brackets are connected to the glove compartment), the glove compartment, along with the guide rail and intermediate bracket, is slid into the mounting frame. The glove compartment is then secured by connecting the intermediate bracket to the mounting frame.
[0031] Embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the figures. They show: Fig. 1 a conventional mounting arrangement for a glove compartment, Fig. 2 a cross section through a mounting arrangement according to the invention for a glove compartment in the area of the intermediate holder, Fig. 3 Mounting frame with intermediate brackets and guide rails arranged therein according to the design of the Fig. 2, Fig. 4 a perspective view of a section through the mounting arrangement of the Fig. 2, Fig. 5 perspective views of the intermediate holders from above and below, Fig. 6 View of the mounting frame with intermediate holder arranged in it from below, and Fig. 7a a schematic representation of the functional principle of the intermediate and b holder with tolerance compensation.
[0032] In Fig. 1 shows a conventional mounting arrangement for a glove compartment. In the mounting arrangement 1', a glove compartment 2' is arranged in a mounting frame 3'. In order to secure the glove compartment 2' in the mounting frame, guide rails 4' are arranged on an inclined surface on both sides of the glove compartment, creating a connection between the glove compartment 2' and the mounting frame 3'. The arrangement of the two guide rails 4', which are tilted in the opposite direction, diagonally to the horizontal direction or floor surface of the compartment, secures the glove compartment 2' particularly reliably. The disadvantage of this arrangement, however, is that relatively large fluctuations in the mounting height of the glove compartment 2' occur between several identical mounting arrangements 1'.This is due, as stated in connection with the present invention, to the fact that fluctuations in the width of the glove compartment 2', which cannot be avoided due to the design, always lead to a change in the installation height of the glove compartment due to the oblique arrangement of the guide rails 4'.
[0033] In Fig. 2 shows a section of a cross section through a mounting arrangement 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. The section shown in Figure 2 represents the area surrounding a guide rail arranged on the right-hand side of the glove compartment 2, as viewed in the direction of travel of the vehicle. The guide rail comprises an inner rail 4, an outer rail 10, and optionally a cage with balls 15. The inner rail is in contact with the outer rail 10 via the balls 15 and can thus be moved linearly relative to it. In alternative variants, any other linear guide rails can be used instead of the guide rail variant shown. The inner rail 4 is screwed to the glove compartment 2, which in the present exemplary embodiment is formed with an inner first wall 5 and an outer second wall 6. For this purpose, an opening 7 is provided in the second wall 6, through which opening a screw 8 is inserted. The screw 8 is screwed into a threaded opening 9 in the inner rail 4.By designing the glove compartment 2 with a first wall 5 and a second wall 6, the head of the screw 8 can be arranged between the two walls, so that the screw head is easily accessible during assembly, whereas in the completed state of the assembly arrangement it cannot be seen from the interior of the glove compartment. The inner rail 4 has a contact surface 26 which bears against the glove compartment in some areas. The inner rail 4 is fastened to the intermediate holder 11 via the outer rail 10 so that it can be moved. In order to effect the attachment to the intermediate holder 11, the outer rail 10 is screwed to the intermediate holder 11 by means of a further screw 12. The inner rail 4 is, as in the conventional assembly arrangement of the . Fig. 1 is tilted by a predetermined amount, here 45°, relative to the horizontal plane or the floor surface of the glove compartment 2. The intermediate holder 11 has a contact side 13, by means of which it rests against a mounting frame 3. The contact side 13 runs essentially horizontally at least in the lateral direction x, i.e. the contact side has an angle of less than 10° to a horizontal plane or floor surface 27 of the glove compartment in the lateral direction. The contact side 13 of the intermediate holder 11 is fastened to the mounting frame 3 by means of a screw 24, which in the present exemplary embodiment is of thread-forming design, wherein screwing of the intermediate holder 11 to the mounting frame 3 is possible at various positions offset from one another in the laterally direction. For this purpose, the mounting frame 3 has an elongated hole 22. The illustrated embodiment of a mounting arrangement for a glove compartment has, compared to the arrangement of Fig. 1 has the advantage that tolerances regarding the width of the glove compartment, i.e., the lateral extension of the glove compartment 2, do not result in a change in the installation height of the glove compartment 2. If the glove compartment 2 is wider than shown due to tolerances, the intermediate bracket slides further to the right during installation of the glove compartment, with the greater width of the glove compartment 2 being compensated for by the displacement of the intermediate bracket 11 in the x-direction. Accordingly, the bracket slides further to the left with a narrower glove compartment 2.The intermediate holder also allows the production costs of the assembly arrangement to be reduced because, due to the fact that in this arrangement, width tolerances of the glove compartment 2 do not affect its installation height, larger width tolerances of the glove compartment 2 can be accepted, which leads to a reduction in the scrap rate of production or allows production using less precise and thus cheaper production equipment.
[0034] For clarification, a variant of the assembly arrangement 1 without the glove compartment 2 is shown again in Fig. 3. This figure also shows that the mounting frame 3 in this embodiment at least partially surrounds five sides, namely the top, the bottom, both side surfaces, and the rear of the glove compartment. Thus, in this example, the mounting frame is not merely a profile frame into which the glove compartment is suspended, but rather the mounting frame at least predominantly encloses an installation cavity for the glove compartment. Fig. 3 further shows that the guide rails 4 have mounting projections 14, which serve for attachment to the glove compartment 2. In order to minimize the assembly effort, when installing the glove compartment 2, the inner rail 4 of the guide rail can first be connected to the glove compartment 2 and then the intermediate bracket 11 can be connected to the outer rail 10 of the guide rail. Only then is the glove compartment, together with the attached guide rails and intermediate brackets 11, inserted into the mounting frame 3, whereby the lateral position of the intermediate brackets 11 automatically adapts to the width of the glove compartment 2. In this variant of an assembly method, the Fig. 3 (the intermediate bracket is arranged in the mounting frame, but the glove compartment is not). With a completed mounting arrangement, the intermediate brackets 11 and the guide rails can be Fig. 3, whereby in a corresponding view of a finished assembly arrangement the intermediate holders 11 and the guide rails 4 would be predominantly covered by the glove compartment.
[0035] In Fig. Figure 4 shows a cross-section through a completed mounting arrangement 1. As can be seen, the intermediate bracket is spaced apart from a side wall 17 of the mounting frame in the lateral direction x, with the distance 18 depending on the width of the glove compartment 2.
[0036] In the Fig. 4 also shows that the glove compartment is directly connected to the mounting frame 3 by means of a spring-loaded locking hook 25. However, the locking hook 25 does not determine the installation position of the glove compartment, but merely pre-tensions the floor of the glove compartment against the mounting frame. This prevents the floor of the glove compartment from vibrating due to vibrations while driving. Vibration of the floor of the glove compartment 2 could cause objects located in the glove compartment to regularly bump against the floor of the glove compartment, thus generating noise.
[0037] In Fig. Figure 5 shows the left intermediate bracket 11 in a view obliquely from above and from below. The oblique view from above shows various projections 19 and openings 20, which serve to connect the intermediate bracket to the guide rail 4. However, the perspective from below shows threaded holes 21, which serve to screw the intermediate bracket to the mounting frame after the glove compartment, equipped with the guide rails and intermediate brackets, has been inserted into the mounting frame. Also visible are locking clips 16, which serve to pre-assemble the intermediate bracket in the mounting frame.
[0038] In Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of the mounting frame from below, with the intermediate bracket 11 being fastened to the mounting frame 3. For fastening the intermediate bracket, the mounting frame has the fastening elements already described in connection with Fig. 2, which are concealed in the figure by washers 23 and screws 24 inserted through the elongated holes. The elongated holes serve to enable the intermediate brackets to be fastened at various positions in the lateral direction, wherein the position of the intermediate bracket 11 in the lateral direction only compensates for the manufacturing tolerance of the glove compartment 2 in terms of width. Since the elongated holes therefore only serve to change the position of the intermediate brackets within the order of magnitude of usual manufacturing tolerances (which are less than 5 mm and usually less than 1 mm), the elongated holes are designed to be only slightly larger in the lateral direction than in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Due to the only slightly elongated design of the elongated holes, they are completely concealed by the washers 23, as shown.In alternative embodiments, however, slots with a significantly more elongated shape could also be used in order to compensate for larger tolerances.
[0039] Although screws were predominantly used in the illustrated example to connect the intermediate bracket to the mounting frame, the intermediate bracket to the guide rail, and the guide rail to the glove compartment, these could be replaced with virtually any other connecting elements. For example, rivets or snap-in clips are also possible.
[0040] In Fig. Figure 7 a shows a schematic illustration of the installation situation for a compartment that is wider than an average compartment of the same design due to tolerances, ie the distance between the intermediate brackets is larger than in an average compartment. Fig.Figure 7b, on the other hand, schematically shows the installation situation for a compartment that, due to tolerances, is narrower than an average compartment of the same design. As can be seen, the installation height is the same in both cases, and the manufacturing tolerance was compensated for by changing the position of the intermediate bracket.
