Description

[0001] The invention relates to a sill device for a motor vehicle. The invention also includes a motor vehicle with a sill device.

[0002] Various designs of sills in motor vehicles are known from the general state of the art. Sills can also serve different purposes. For example, a section of a sill can be extended to accommodate wiring harnesses or to create a channel that serves as a ventilation duct.

[0003] For example, DE 38 07 417 A1 describes a motor vehicle body with side sills. The sills consist of a side wall section and a floor panel section connected to it, which encloses a cavity together with the side wall section. Within this cavity is a U-shaped longitudinal recess, formed integrally with the floor panel section, the bottom of which faces the outside of the vehicle. The longitudinal recess is open towards the vehicle interior. This recess, open towards the vehicle interior, is covered by a wall section made of plastic. The wall section has numerous through-openings. An air duct is formed through the wall section.

[0004] German patent application DE 10 2010 048 863 A1 describes a substructure for a motor vehicle body. The motor vehicle body includes a longitudinal member, which is designed as a door sill. The longitudinal member comprises two profile sections – an inner profile and an outer profile – which are welded together along their edge webs. A cavity is formed between the profiles. This allows for the formation of an air duct inside the longitudinal member or door sill. Alternatively, a molded part with a channel can be inserted between the profile sections, so that the channel acts as an air duct and is airtightly separated from the rest of the interior of the door sill.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a sill device which provides ventilation, in particular for heating and / or cooling, for an occupant of the motor vehicle in the lateral leg, hip and / or upper body area towards the door in a particularly simple and reliable manner.

[0006] This problem is solved by a sill device for a motor vehicle and by a motor vehicle with the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments with expedient and non-trivial further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

[0007] The sill assembly for a motor vehicle comprises a ventilation device, wherein the ventilation device includes a fluid channel configured to receive a fluid flow. In other words, a fluid can be conveyed or guided in the fluid channel. A fluid channel is, in particular, a channel or flow channel through which a fluid flows. The fluid can be, for example, air. The airflow can be provided, for example, by a ventilation system or a heating and cooling system of the motor vehicle, such as an air conditioning system. In particular, the fluid channel can be connected to the ventilation system of the motor vehicle, preferably fluidically. The sill assembly can, in particular, be a sill of the motor vehicle or a part or component of a sill of the motor vehicle, and especially preferably a trim panel or trim part.The term "sill" refers specifically to an area of ​​a self-supporting body of a motor vehicle. The sill is preferably located longitudinally below a door opening, on both sides of the vehicle between the front and rear wheel arches.

[0008] The ventilation device or sill assembly has a cladding element that forms a first wall of the fluid channel, wherein the cladding element is designed as a sill cladding of the sill assembly. The sill cladding is preferably an inner sill part of the sill, which closes a hollow cross-section. The fluid channel is preferably located within this hollow cross-section. The sill cladding is particularly preferably designed as a cladding or cladding part of the sill. The cladding element preferably forms at least partially, i.e., completely or partially, the first wall of the fluid channel. "Wall" refers in particular to a wall or wall element or channel wall of the fluid channel. The cladding element designed as a sill cladding can, for example, be a part or component of one or more sill claddings of the motor vehicle.The trim element is preferably made of plastic. It is particularly preferred that the trim element faces an interior of the motor vehicle or is arranged within the interior of the motor vehicle.

[0009] Furthermore, the ventilation device or sill assembly comprises a base element that forms a second wall of the fluid channel, wherein the base element is coupled to the trim element. "Coupled" in this context means, in particular, connected or attached. The base element can form at least partially, i.e., completely or partially, the second wall of the fluid channel. The base element can preferably be a floor or body floor of a motor vehicle, or a section or part of the floor of the motor vehicle.

[0010] Furthermore, the ventilation device or sill assembly has a side wall element that forms a third wall of the fluid channel, the side wall element being arranged between the trim element and the base element. The side wall element and the trim element are also coupled together. The side wall element and the base element, in particular, form the sill trim as a fluid channel. Specifically, the trim element, the side wall element, and the base element can form the fluid channel or enclose a cavity or space through which a fluid can be conveyed. Particularly preferably, the fluid channel has a triangular cross-section due to the three walls.In particular, the floor element, the side wall element and the trim element are arranged successively in an upward direction of the sill assembly, which coincides in particular with an upward direction of the motor vehicle.

[0011] Furthermore, the cladding element has at least one fluid outlet, which is designed as a channel, the channel projecting at least partially into the fluid channel. In other words, the cladding element can have at least one outlet region or passage, which is designed as a channel. In other words, the fluid outlet of the fluid channel, which is designed as a channel, can be arranged on the cladding element. The channel is, in particular, a channel open at both ends. Specifically, a first end region is arranged inside the fluid channel, with the fluid conveyed in the fluid channel entering the channel via the first end region. Opposite the first end region, a second end region is arranged, with the fluid flowing from the first end region to the second end region and exiting or flowing out of the channel via the second end region.The channel extends, in particular, from an interior part of the fluid channel to a surface of the trim element facing away from the fluid channel or its interior. Preferably, the fluid outlet or channel partially forms an air nozzle in the sill trim. The fluid outlet or channel can accordingly be an air nozzle. Preferably, the fluid outlet or an end region of the channel-shaped fluid outlet terminates flush with the surface, top, or outer surface of the trim element facing away from the fluid channel or its interior. In other words, the fluid outlet can run or extend from an interior part of the fluid channel to a surface of the trim element.

[0012] The fluid flow is preferably conveyed from the fluid channel or an interior of the fluid channel via the fluid outlet to an area surrounding the ventilation device or the rocker panel assembly. In other words, the fluid flow, particularly airflow, can reach an area surrounding the ventilation device or the rocker panel assembly via the fluid outlet from or out of the fluid channel. The trim element is particularly preferably equipped with several fluid outlets arranged side by side at predetermined intervals along a main direction of extension of the fluid channel. This main direction of extension coincides, in particular, with the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle.

[0013] By partially designing the sill trim as a fluid channel with fluid outlets, fluid distribution can be provided in a particularly simple and reliable manner. In particular, because warm air is conveyed through the fluid channel, there is no additional expense in the form of electric surface heating. Furthermore, there is no additional cost in terms of individual parts. This reduces manufacturing costs.

[0014] An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the side wall element and the cladding element are formed in one piece. In other words, the side wall element and the cladding element together can form a single part. It is particularly preferred that the side wall element and the cladding element together form an injection-molded part. Alternatively, the fluid channel can be formed in one piece, particularly as an injection-molded part. In this case, the side wall element, the cladding element, and the bottom element together can form a single part. Due to the one-piece design of the side wall element and the cladding element or the fluid channel, the fluid channel can be assembled particularly easily, and the need for additional individual parts is eliminated.

[0015] Advantageously, the side wall element is designed as a stiffening element, in particular as a rib. Specifically, the side wall element serves to stiffen the cladding element. For example, the side wall element is arranged centrally on a surface of the cladding element. For example, the cladding element, together with the side wall element arranged on the cladding element, can have a T-shape in cross-section, which extends in particular perpendicular to a principal direction of extension of the fluid channel. Due to the stiffening element, the fluid channel exhibits particularly high stability.

[0016] Preferably, the fluid channel is closed at its ends, particularly at a first end and at a second end opposite the first end in the main direction of the fluid channel. The ventilation device can have two further wall elements that close off the fluid channel at its ends. For example, these further wall elements can be designed as ribs.

[0017] Preferably, the fluid enters the fluid channel via a fluid inlet. The fluid inlet can be coupled or connected to a supply channel through which the fluid is conveyed into the fluid channel.

[0018] An advantageous embodiment provides that the fluid channel has several fluid outlets, wherein the fluid outlets are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals along a main direction of extension of the fluid channel. In particular, the main direction of extension coincides with a longitudinal direction or direction of travel of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the fluid outlet(s) have a rectangular or slotted cross-section, which extends, in particular, parallel to the main direction of extension of the fluid channel. In particular, the extension of the fluid outlet(s) in the main direction of extension is longer or larger than in a transverse direction, which extends, in particular, perpendicular to the main direction of extension. The multiple fluid outlets enable a fluid curtain, in particular an air curtain, to be provided in a particularly simple and reliable manner.In particular, when warm air is conveyed through the fluid channel, a warm air curtain can be created between the door and the occupants in cold temperatures. This air curtain also prevents the vehicle's side windows from fogging up in cold weather. Therefore, the air curtain counteracts fogging of the side windows, thus increasing driving safety.

[0019] Advantageously, the floor element includes a carpet. Particularly preferably, one side or wall of the fluid channel is formed by the carpet located under the sill trim, especially if present there. This largely eliminates the need for additional parts, thereby saving on manufacturing costs and weight.

[0020] The floor element preferably comprises a foil element arranged on the carpet, the foil element being positioned on a side of the carpet facing the interior of the fluid channel. The foil element can be a film, for example, made of plastic. The additional foil on the carpet helps prevent pressure losses.

[0021] The invention also includes a motor vehicle with a sill device. The motor vehicle according to the invention is preferably designed as a motor vehicle, in particular as a passenger car or truck, or as a passenger bus or motorcycle.

[0022] Advantageously, the motor vehicle comprises at least two sill devices, one of which is located in the area of ​​a driver's door and / or a sill device in the area of ​​a passenger's door and / or a sill device in the area of ​​a door of a rear seating area behind the driver's seat in the direction of travel and / or a sill device in the area of ​​a door of a rear seating area behind the passenger's seat in the direction of travel. This ensures a particularly good and / or uniform fluid distribution in the interior of the motor vehicle, especially in the area between the door and the seat.

[0023] Preferably, the fluid outlet(s) are positioned on the trim element such that a fluid flow, in particular an airflow or air curtain, can flow between a door of the motor vehicle, in particular a driver's door and / or passenger door and / or a rear door. The fluid flow can, for example, flow along an interior door trim panel, which in particular faces an interior area of ​​the motor vehicle.

[0024] An advantageous embodiment provides that the ventilation device includes a supply channel extending from a floor area of ​​the vehicle upwards, under the driver's seat and / or under the passenger seat and / or under the rear seat, to the fluid channel or fluid inlet. In other words, a footwell duct of the vehicle, located particularly under the driver's seat and / or passenger seat, can extend to the fluid channel, which is located particularly in the area of ​​a door – passenger door and / or driver's door and / or rear door. In particular, the footwell duct can be extended laterally. In other words, the duct can be extended or lengthened from the floor area to the sill channel or sill channels – the fluid channel of the sill assembly.This results in a distribution of fluid, for example warm air, for the footwell between occupants and the door area.

[0025] The invention also includes a trim device, in particular for a rocker panel, for a motor vehicle. The trim device comprises a fluid channel configured to receive a fluid flow. Furthermore, the trim device includes a trim element forming a first wall of the fluid channel, wherein the trim element is particularly designed as a rocker panel trim. The trim device also includes a base element forming a second wall of the fluid channel, wherein the base element is coupled to the trim element.Finally, the cladding assembly comprises a side wall element, which forms a third wall of the fluid channel, wherein the side wall element is arranged between the cladding element and the floor element and couples the side wall element and the cladding element together, wherein the cladding element has at least one fluid outlet, which is designed as a channel, the channel projecting at least partially into the fluid channel. Preferably, the cladding assembly or the cladding part is arranged in the area of ​​a vehicle door on the vehicle floor of a motor vehicle, wherein the cladding assembly has an air channel or fluid channel that can be supplied with conditioned air, and wherein at least one fluid outlet, such as an air outlet opening, is arranged in the cladding assembly, in particular in the cladding element.

[0026] The invention also includes further developments of the motor vehicle and the trim assembly according to the invention, which have features already described in connection with the further developments of the sill assembly according to the invention. For this reason, the corresponding further developments of the motor vehicle and the trim element according to the invention are not described again here.

[0027] The invention also includes combinations of the features of the described embodiments. The invention therefore also includes realizations that each exhibit a combination of the features of several of the described embodiments, provided that the embodiments have not been described as mutually exclusive.

[0030] In the figures, identical reference symbols denote functionally equivalent elements.

[0031] Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a sill device 10 or a fairing device for a motor vehicle 12. Fig. Figure 3 shows a motor vehicle 12 with two sill assemblies in the area of ​​a driver's seat F and a rear seat R. The sill assembly 10 forms, in particular, a sill or at least part of a sill of the motor vehicle 12. How Fig. As can be seen from Figure 3, the sill or sill assembly 10 is preferably located longitudinally below a door opening. In particular, the sill or sill assembly 10 is located on both sides of the motor vehicle 12 between the wheel arches 14, especially in the area of ​​the front door and / or the rear door.

[0032] How Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the sill assembly 10 has a ventilation device 16. The ventilation device 16 comprises a fluid channel 18. The fluid channel 18 is designed to receive or guide a fluid. In other words, the fluid can flow or be conveyed in the fluid channel 18. The fluid can be, for example, air. Accordingly, the fluid flow can be, for example, an airflow. The fluid channel 18 extends in a principal direction x1 of the sill assembly 10. The principal direction x1 of the fluid channel 18 can coincide with a longitudinal direction x2 of the motor vehicle 12, which is, in particular, perpendicular to a vertical direction z2 or transverse direction y2 of the motor vehicle 12, which extends, in particular, in the direction of a wheel axle of the motor vehicle 12.

[0033] The fluid channel 18 has at least one fluid outlet 20. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, the fluid channel 18 can have several, in particular five, fluid outlets 20. Alternatively, the fluid channel 18 can also have two fluid outlets 20. For example, one fluid outlet 20 can be arranged on one side of the supply channel 26 and the other fluid outlet 20 on the other side of the supply channel 26. The fluid outlets 20 are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals in the main direction x1 of the fluid channel 18. The fluid outlets 20 have a rectangular cross-section. Alternatively, the fluid outlets 20 are slot-shaped. In this case, the fluid outlets 20 extend in the main direction x1 of the fluid channel 18. Preferably, the extension of the fluid outlets 20 in the main direction x1 is greater than in a transverse direction y1.In particular, the transverse direction y1 of the fluid channel coincides with a transverse direction y2 of the motor vehicle 12, which extends perpendicular to the main extension direction x2 of the motor vehicle 12 or to the direction of travel of the motor vehicle 12. The fluid flow conveyed in the fluid channel 18 passes through the fluid outlets 20 into an environment 22 of the fluid channel 18 or the sill assembly 10. The environment 22 is, in particular, an interior space of the motor vehicle 12. Due to the rectangular or slot-shaped design of the fluid outlets 20, an air curtain is formed in the exiting air, which is indicated by the arrows 24 in . Fig. 1 is indicated. The air curtain runs laterally towards the vehicle seats or the occupants of the motor vehicle 12. In other words, the air curtain runs between the door and the occupants.

[0034] Furthermore, the ventilation device 16 or the motor vehicle 12 has a supply channel 26. The fluid flow is directed into the fluid channel 18 via the supply channel 26. For example, the supply channel 26 extends from a region, in particular the footwell, of a driver's seat F, for example, from a region of the driver's seat F towards the driver's door or a rear door. Additionally or alternatively, another supply channel (not shown in the figures) can extend from a region of a passenger seat, in particular the footwell, towards a passenger door or a rear door. The supply channel 26 is arranged, for example, centrally, in particular in the main extension direction x1, on the fluid channel 18.

[0035] Fig. Figure 2 shows in a schematic sectional view AA the sill assembly 10 of Fig. 1. The sill assembly 10 comprises a trim element 28. The trim element 28 can be a sill trim for the sill assembly 10 or for the sill of the motor vehicle 12. The trim element 28 is essentially semicircular or arcuate, or curved at its respective end regions. The trim element 28, or at least a region, section, or part of the trim element 28, forms a first wall of the fluid channel 18. The trim element 28 includes the fluid outlet 20. Fig. As can be seen from Figure 2, the fluid outlet 20 is designed as a channel. The channel extends at least partially into the fluid channel 18, i.e., into the interior of the fluid channel 18. The channel extends from the interior of the fluid channel 18 to an outer surface A or the outside of the trim element 28 facing away from the fluid channel 18. Alternatively, the channel can also extend into the interior of the motor vehicle 12, i.e., project from the outer surface A.

[0036] Furthermore, the sill assembly 10 comprises a side wall element 30. The side wall element 30 is preferably designed as a rib or plate. Particularly preferably, the side wall element 30 forms a reinforcing element. The side wall element 30 forms a second wall of the fluid channel 18. The side wall element 30 is coupled or connected to the cladding element 28. The side wall element 30 is arranged on a side of the cladding element 28 facing the fluid channel 18, preferably centrally. The cladding element 28 and / or the side wall element 30 are preferably made of plastic. Particularly preferably, the cladding element 28 and the side wall element 30 are formed in one piece, particularly as an injection-molded part.

[0037] The fluid outlet 20 or fluid outlets are positioned or configured on the trim element 28 such that the outgoing fluid flow or outgoing air flows on the side of a door trim panel 32 facing the vehicle interior, in particular the area 22 surrounding the fluid channel 18. The door trim panel 32 is, for example, a trim panel for a driver's door and / or passenger's door and / or rear door of the motor vehicle 12. Fig. As can be seen from 2, the fluid outlet 20 or the fluid outlets are arranged at a first end region E1 of the cladding element 28.

[0038] Furthermore, the sill assembly 10 has a base element 34. The base element 34 forms a further or third wall of the fluid channel 18. The base element 34 is coupled or connected to the side wall element 30 and the trim element 28. The side wall element 30 is also arranged between the trim element 28 and the base element 34. Fig.As can be seen from Figure 2, the fluid channel 18, particularly in its cross-section, which extends perpendicular to the main direction of extension x1, is triangular in shape. The trim element 28 and / or the side wall element 30 and / or the floor element 34 can be formed as a single unit or as a single piece. The floor element 34 can, for example, comprise a carpet. The floor element 34 is arranged on the floor of the motor vehicle 12, in particular on the body of the motor vehicle 12. Furthermore, the floor element 34 can comprise a foil element (not shown in the figures) which is arranged on the side of the carpet facing the fluid channel 18. In particular, the foil element can be used as an additional foil on the carpet to prevent pressure losses, especially pressure losses of the fluid flow in the fluid channel.

[0039] The trim element 28 is attached to a second end region E2, which is arranged in or on a vehicle floor 36 or the floor of the motor vehicle 12, by means of a fastening element 38. The fastening element 38 can, for example, be a dome. Furthermore, a door seal 40 is arranged on the second end region E2. The fastening element 38 is arranged between the side wall element 30 and the door seal 40, in particular in a transverse direction y2 of the motor vehicle 12. The door seal 40 is located between the door 42 of the motor vehicle 12, such as the driver's door, passenger door, or rear door, and the second end region E2 of the trim element 28 and / or a door flange 44 in the body. The door seal 40 can also be arranged on the door flange 44. The vehicle floor 36 of the motor vehicle 12 can also be arranged on the door flange 44.In the vertical direction z2 of the motor vehicle 12, the vehicle floor 36, the fastening element 38, the floor element 34, the side wall element 30, the trim element 28 and the door trim 32 are arranged successively.

[0040] Overall, the examples show how one or more air nozzles can be provided in the sill of a motor vehicle.

[0041] Preferably, a sill panel, particularly a sill of the vehicle, is designed as an air duct. Furthermore, a portion of the sill panel is preferably designed as an air nozzle. To largely avoid additional components, one side of the duct – air duct or fluid channel – can be formed by the vehicle's carpet located beneath the sill panel. If necessary, an additional film can be used on the carpet to prevent pressure loss. Additionally, an air duct for warm air from the floor area to the sill channels can be integrated. This allows a warm air curtain to be provided between the door and the occupants in cold temperatures. Using the carpet as the channel base eliminates the need for additional components. The remaining duct can be easily formed by ribs in the sill panel.There is hardly any additional effort involved, as the footwell channel is always present and can be extended laterally. An additional benefit is the prevention of fogging on the side windows in cold temperatures.

[0042] Particularly preferably, a trim panel, in particular a sill trim, is provided for a vehicle, wherein the trim panel is arranged in the area of ​​a vehicle door on a vehicle floor, wherein the trim panel has an air duct that can be supplied with air, in particular air-conditioned air, and wherein air outlet openings are arranged in the trim panel.
