Description

Field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a storage device for a front area of ​​a motor vehicle with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1. Background of the invention

[0002] Electric motor vehicles, in particular, feature a storage device in the front area, also known as a "frunk." Typically, a pivoting front cover, which can also be designed as a front hood, covers a storage compartment of the storage device.

[0003] Furthermore, it is known from US 2022 / 0009419 A1, for example, that a frunk cover is provided to provide additional coverage for the storage compartment. To facilitate opening and closing, the frunk cover is connected to the front hood.

[0004] In electrically powered vehicles, the charging cable is preferably stored in the storage compartment. However, since the charging cable is exposed to dirt and environmental influences such as rain, snow, etc., it is disadvantageous to store other items next to the charging cable.

[0005] DE 197 14 497 A1 discloses that a frame-like receiving element with a rectangular outline is releasably clamped to the inside of a trunk lid of a passenger car. The receiving element has three storage compartments, each of which can be covered by a hinged lid. A number of different loose objects can be stored in the storage compartments. Reference is also made to DE 20 2007 016 318 U1, DE 20 2018 100 014 U1, DE 10 2019 004 773 A1, and KR 20 1999 0 031 760 U.

[0006] The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a storage device for a front area of ​​a motor vehicle in which the stowage and protection of different transport goods is improved. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous further developments of the invention emerge from the subclaims.

[0008] The invention relates to a storage device for a front area of ​​a motor vehicle, comprising a pivotably mounted front cover for covering a storage compartment in the front area, characterized in that a first wall is pivotally mounted to form a base of the storage compartment, wherein the first wall forms a cover of a second storage compartment in the front area, and wherein a second wall is pivotally mounted to form a base of the second storage compartment.

[0009] The fact that the first wall is pivotally mounted and simultaneously forms a floor for the storage compartment and a cover for a second storage compartment provides a particularly advantageous separation of the loading volume: Firstly, only a single component is required, which saves additional installation space for other dividing elements and preserves the loading volume as much as possible. Furthermore, the pivoting first wall divides the loading volume into a first storage compartment and a second storage compartment in a fan-like and multi-level manner, allowing different transport items - for example, a charging cable and other transport items - to be stowed separately. Finally, access to frequently used transport items such as the charging cable is simplified, as only the front cover needs to be opened for this, while other transport items in the second storage compartment continue to be protected from environmental influences such as rain, snow, etc. when the front cover is opened.or dirt are protected by the covering first wall.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the front cover can be opened away from the front end of the motor vehicle and is preferably pivotally mounted about a first pivot point. Due to the preferred first opening direction of the front cover, the first storage compartment can be conveniently loaded, for example, from the front end of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the pivotal mounting about the first pivot point allows the front cover to be opened and closed particularly easily and quickly.

[0011] Preferably, the first pivot point D1 is arranged in the region near the bulkhead, for example adjacent to a cowl structure and / or a windshield of the motor vehicle. If the front cover covers, for example, a storage compartment, an engine compartment or an assembly compartment of a motor vehicle, accessibility in the region of the engine compartment or assembly compartment near the bulkhead is restricted. Generally speaking, accessibility in the region near the bulkhead is restricted in that the front cover itself restricts accessibility in the region of the first pivot point due to its open position. Therefore, it is also desirable to provide a storage device with improved accessibility in the front area of ​​a motor vehicle, in which accessibility in the area near the bulkhead is particularly facilitated. It is also desirable to simplify access and loading for a user.

[0012] In a further preferred embodiment, the front cover can be opened towards the front end of the motor vehicle and is preferably pivotally mounted about a second pivot point. This preferred second opening direction of the front cover allows the first storage compartment to be conveniently loaded, for example, from one side of the motor vehicle. Loading from the side of the motor vehicle is particularly advantageous if, for example, the charging socket is also arranged on the side of the motor vehicle. This means that a user does not have to first walk to the front end to stow the charging cable. In general, loading from the side of the motor vehicle also shortens the distance to a vehicle door after stowing an item, since the user can walk to the vehicle door from the side of the motor vehicle rather than from the front end of the motor vehicle. In summary, this provides a particularly convenient and easy-to-use storage device.Thanks to the pivoting bearing around the second pivot point, the front cover can be opened and closed particularly easily and quickly.

[0013] In all embodiments, the first opening direction of the front cover away from the front end allows particularly good access to an engine compartment or an assembly compartment and / or the first storage compartment, for example, conveniently from the front end of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the pivotable mounting about the first pivot point means that the front cover can be opened and closed particularly easily and quickly. The second opening direction of the front cover towards the front end allows the first storage compartment, the engine compartment and / or the assembly compartment to be conveniently accessed from one side of the motor vehicle, for example, significantly improving accessibility in the area near the bulkhead. With this opening direction, the front cover, in its open position, does not restrict accessibility in the area of ​​the first pivot point because it is pivoted about the second pivot point.

[0014] In all embodiments, it is conceivable that, preferably alternatively or additionally, the front cover is pivotably mounted about the first pivot point and the second pivot point. This can optionally provide convenient access to the first storage compartment from both the front end of the motor vehicle and the side of the vehicle.

[0015] In all embodiments, it is conceivable that the front cover is preferably designed as a front hood. This allows the existing front hood to be used as the front cover for the first storage compartment, eliminating the need to provide an additional front cover.

[0016] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, it is conceivable for the first wall to be hinged away from the front end of the motor vehicle and / or toward the front end of the motor vehicle. This also allows the second storage compartment, as described above, to be conveniently loaded from the front end and / or the side of the motor vehicle.

[0017] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the first wall is pivotally mounted about the first pivot point and / or the second pivot point. As a result, the front cover and the first wall share a single pivot point, resulting in a particularly efficient design of the storage device.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the first wall is pivotally mounted about a third pivot point, with the third pivot point being located on the front cover. This allows the first wall to be pivoted particularly easily and conveniently operated.

[0019] In all embodiments, a second wall is pivotally mounted to form a base of the second storage compartment, wherein the second wall can preferably be folded open in a direction away from a front end of the motor vehicle and / or can be folded open in a direction towards the front end of the motor vehicle. This makes it particularly easy to access an assembly compartment below the second wall, for example during maintenance of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, access to the assembly compartment at the front end of the motor vehicle is simplified if the second wall can be folded open in a direction away from the front end of the motor vehicle. Alternatively or additionally, access to the assembly compartment in the region of a bulkhead structure or a windshield of the motor vehicle is facilitated if the second wall can be folded open in a direction towards the front end of the motor vehicle.

[0020] In this case, the second wall is preferably pivotally mounted about the first pivot point and / or the second pivot point. Splitting a pivot point, as described above, also provides an efficient structure for the storage device.

[0021] In all embodiments, it is conceivable that the storage device preferably further comprises a pivotably mounted front hood with an opening, and the front cover is pivotably arranged on the front hood to cover the opening, wherein the front cover is preferably pivotally mounted about a fourth pivot point arranged on the front hood, and particularly preferably the front hood and the second wall are pivotally mounted about a first pivot point. As a result, the front cover can be opened independently of the front hood, whereby particularly simple and quick access to the first storage compartment is provided through the opening in the front hood. Furthermore, the common bearing point of the front hood and the second wall provides a particularly efficient design of the storage device.

[0022] Finally, a motor vehicle is provided that includes the storage device just described. Character description

[0023] Embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to the figures. In the figures: Fig. 1 a schematic sectional view of a first preferred embodiment of a storage device according to the invention in various open positions, Fig. 2 a schematic sectional view of a second preferred embodiment of a storage device according to the invention in various open positions, Fig. 3 a schematic sectional view of a preferred embodiment of a hinge device in various open positions and a closing position with respect to the storage device according to Fig. 2, Fig. 4 a schematic sectional view of a third preferred embodiment of a storage device according to the invention in various open positions, and Fig. 5 a schematic sectional view of a fourth preferred embodiment of a storage device according to the invention in various open positions and a closed position. Detailed description

[0024] Fig. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of a first preferred embodiment of a storage device 10 according to the invention for a front area 54 of a motor vehicle 50:

[0025] The storage device 10 has a pivotally mounted front cover 20 for covering a storage compartment 12 in the front area 54. For ease of differentiation, the storage compartment 12 is referred to below as the first storage compartment 12.

[0026] Preferably, the front cover 20, as shown in the Fig. 1 to 4, it is designed as a front cover 60. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that the front cover 20 is smaller than the front cover 60.

[0027] Further in Fig. 1 that the front cover 20 is preferably pivotally mounted about a first pivot point D1. Preferably, the first pivot point D1 is arranged adjacent to a cowl structure and / or a windshield of the motor vehicle 50. In other words, the first pivot point D1 is arranged in a region close to the bulkhead.

[0028] In all embodiments, "pivot point" generally refers to the point around which a given component rotates during a pivoting operation. The pivot point can, for example, be part of a hinge or a pivot axis.

[0029] Furthermore, the front cover 20 is preferably hinged away from a front end 52 of the motor vehicle 50. In other words, the front cover 20 is configured to execute an opening movement counter to the main direction of travel (X-direction) of the motor vehicle.

[0030] The “front end” of the motor vehicle generally refers to the beginning of the front of the vehicle.

[0031] In this context, the Fig. 1A to 1C show the front cover 20 in an exemplary open position, wherein a closed position in which the first storage compartment 12 is covered by the front cover 20 is not shown for the sake of simplicity.

[0032] In addition, the storage device 10 comprises a first wall 30 for forming a base 12.1 of the first storage compartment 12, wherein the first wall 30 is pivotally mounted. As in Fig. 1, the first wall 30 also forms a cover 14.1 of a second storage compartment 14 in the front area 54.

[0033] Also in Fig. 1 that the first wall 30 can preferably also be opened in the direction away from the front end 52 of the motor vehicle 50. It is also conceivable that the first wall 30 is preferably also pivotally mounted about the first pivot point D1.

[0034] This shows Fig. 1A shows, by way of example, a closed position of the first wall 30. In the closed position of the first wall 30, the second storage compartment 14 is covered by the first wall 30. Thus, preferably, only the first storage compartment 12 is accessible in the closed position of the first wall 30.

[0035] In this context, Fig. 1B shows an exemplary open position of the first wall 30, in which the first wall 30 is pivoted toward the open front cover 20. In an open position of the first wall 30, the second storage compartment 14 is thus accessible.

[0036] In Fig. 1C shows a further preferred embodiment in which the storage device 10 comprises a second wall 40 for forming a floor 14.2 of the second storage compartment 14, wherein the second wall 40 is pivotally mounted. As already described, the second wall 40 is preferably hinged in the direction away from the front end 52 of the motor vehicle 50. The Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B show an example of a closed position of the second wall 40, while Fig. 1C shows an example of an open position of the second wall 40. In an open position of the second wall 40, as mentioned above, access to an engine compartment of the motor vehicle 50 is open. It is also conceivable that the second wall 40 is preferably also pivotally mounted about the first pivot point D1.

[0037] In summary, as exemplified in Fig. 1 - by the pivotally mounted first wall 30, which simultaneously forms the floor 12.1 of the first storage compartment 12 and the cover 14.1 of the second storage compartment 14, the loading volume of the storage device 10 is advantageously divided, whereby the stowage and / or protection of different transport goods is improved.

[0038] Fig. Fig. 2 shows a second preferred embodiment of the storage device 10, in which preferably, as already described, the front cover 20, the first wall 30 and the second wall 40 are pivotally mounted about the first pivot point D1, which is shown in the Fig. 2A and Fig. 2C is shown as an example.

[0039] In addition, as in Fig. 2B, it is also conceivable that the front cover 20 is preferably pivotally mounted about a second pivot point D2 and can be opened toward the front end 52 of the motor vehicle 50. In other words, the front cover 20 is configured to execute an opening movement toward the main direction of travel (X-direction) of the motor vehicle.

[0040] Preferably, in all embodiments, the second pivot point D2 is arranged adjacent to the front end 52. In other words, with reference to Fig. 2 the second pivot point D2 is preferably arranged between the front end 52 and the first pivot point D1.

[0041] Through this second opening direction of the front cover 20, the first storage compartment 12 can preferably be conveniently loaded from one side of the vehicle, for example, when a user is standing in the area of ​​the front tire. From this position, it is possible to simultaneously open the front cover 20 as shown in Fig. 2B and stow a charging cable in the first storage compartment 12 without the user having to walk to the front end 52. This fundamentally improves accessibility in the bulkhead area.

[0042] In addition, it is conceivable that preferably the front cover 20 can be opened both towards the front end 52 and away from the front end 52, which is described in detail in Fig. 3 is shown.

[0043] In summary, convenient access to the motor vehicle 50 is made possible both in the area of ​​the front end 52 or the second pivot point D2 and in the area of ​​the first pivot point D1.

[0044] For simplification, Fig. 3 the first wall 30 and the second wall 40 are not shown, but shows Fig. 3 additional open and closed positions of a preferred hinge device 70: In general, it is conceivable that a hinge device 70 preferably comprises a first hinge part 72 for receiving a second hinge part 74. The second hinge part 74 is, for example, rotatably mounted in the first hinge part 72. Furthermore, the second hinge part 74 can be attached to a movable component, for example, to the front cover 20 or the front hood 60, to the first wall 30, and / or to the second wall 40. Furthermore, a closure part 76 can be provided, which is configured to close or release the second hinge part 74 in the first hinge part 72.

[0045] This is exemplified in the Fig. 3A to 3C: For example, a first hinge device 70.1 is provided for the first pivot point D1 and a second hinge device 70.2 is provided for the second pivot point D2. Fig. 3A shows, by way of example, the closure part 76 of the second hinge device 70.2 at the second pivot point D2 in an open position. Consequently, the second hinge part 74 can be pivoted out of the second hinge device 70.2 while the second hinge part 74 rotates in the first hinge device 70.1 at the first pivot point D1. In this case, the closure part 76 of the first hinge device 70.1 can be in a closed position. Thus, a pivoting movement of the front cover 20 in the direction away from the front end 52 of the motor vehicle 50 can be provided.

[0046] The opposite case is in Fig. 3B shows an example: The locking part 76 of the second hinge device 70.2 is in the closed position at the second pivot point D2. Consequently, the second hinge part 74 can be pivoted out of the first hinge device 70.1, while the second hinge part 74 rotates in the second hinge device 70.2 at the second pivot point D2. In this case, the locking part 76 of the second hinge device 70.2 can be in a closed position. Thus, a pivoting movement of the front cover 20 toward the front end 52 of the motor vehicle 50 can be provided.

[0047] Finally, Fig. 3C shows an example of a locking of the front cover 20, in which both locking parts 76 are in the closed position.

[0048] In summary, the hinge device 70 is designed to open or close a bearing point or a pivot point.

[0049] Additionally or alternatively, it is also conceivable in all embodiments for the first wall 30 to be hinged toward the front end 52 of the motor vehicle 50. In this case, the first wall 30 is preferably pivotally mounted about the second pivot point D2 (not shown). This fundamentally improves accessibility in the bulkhead area.

[0050] Additionally or alternatively, it is also conceivable in all embodiments for the second wall 40 to be hinged toward the front end 52 of the motor vehicle 50. In this case, the second wall 40 is preferably pivotally mounted about the second pivot point D2 (not shown). This fundamentally improves accessibility in the bulkhead area, particularly during servicing.

[0051] With a view to the Fig. 1 to 5, it is thus also conceivable that, alternatively or additionally, the front cover 20, the front hood 60, the first wall 30 and / or the second wall 40 can be opened in the direction towards the front end 52 (not shown).

[0052] With a view to the Fig. 1 to 5, it is thus also conceivable that, alternatively or additionally, the front cover 20, the front hood 60, the first wall 30 and / or the second wall 40 can be opened both in the direction towards the front end 52 and in the direction away from the front end 52 (not shown).

[0053] In the case of a front cover 20 or front hood 60 that can be opened toward the front end of the vehicle, lower ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) requirements must also be met, since the front cover or front hood cannot directly impact the vehicle's windshield while driving. Thus, automating the front cover or front hood is less complex.

[0054] Fig. Fig. 4 shows a third preferred embodiment of the storage device 10, in which preferably, as already described, the front cover 20 and the second wall 40 are pivotally mounted about the first pivot point D1, which is shown in the Fig. 4A and Fig. 4C is shown as an example. However, the first wall 30 is pivotally mounted about a third pivot point D3, wherein the third pivot point D3 is arranged on the front cover 20. Furthermore, the third pivot point D3 is spaced from the first pivot point D1. In other words, the third pivot point D3 is arranged between the front end 52 and the first pivot point D1. The first wall 30 can be opened towards the front end 52, while the front cover 20 and the second wall 40 can be opened away from the front end 52. In comparison to Fig. 1 or Fig. 2, this provides a greater distance between the first wall 30 and the vehicle floor. This makes the first storage compartment 12 easier to use, as the user does not have to bend down. Alternatively or additionally, the reverse case is also conceivable: In this case, the first wall 30 can be opened away from the front end 52, while the front cover 20 and the second wall 40 can be opened toward the front end 52 (not shown).

[0055] Fig. 5 shows a fourth preferred embodiment of the storage device 10: The storage device 10 further comprises a pivotably mounted front hood 60 with an opening 62. The front cover 20 is pivotally mounted on the front hood 60 to cover the opening 62 and the storage compartment 12, wherein the front cover 20 is preferably pivotally mounted about a fourth pivot point D4 arranged on the front hood 60. Similar to the third pivot point D3, the fourth pivot point D4 is thus spaced from the first pivot point D1. In other words, the fourth pivot point D4 is arranged between the front end 52 and the first pivot point D1. The arrangement of the front cover 20 in the front hood 60 enables particularly simple and quick access to the first storage compartment 12, since the front hood 60 does not have to be opened.

[0056] As already explained above, the front hood 60 is preferably pivotally mounted about the first pivot point D1. Particularly preferably, the front hood 60 and the second wall 40 are pivotally mounted about the first pivot point D1.

[0057] In addition, in the embodiment of Fig. 5, the first wall 30 is also pivotally mounted, namely around the pivot point of the front hood 60. This is exemplified in Fig. 5 for the first pivot point D1. For this purpose, the first wall 30 can preferably be attached to the front hood 60. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable for the first wall to be pivotally mounted on the front hood 60, for example, about the fourth pivot point D4 (not shown).

[0058] Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that the front cover 20 is designed both in the direction away from the front end 52 (as in Fig. 5) and in the direction toward the front end 52 (not shown). A fifth pivot point (not shown) may be provided, which is arranged closer to the front end 52 than the fourth pivot point D4.

[0059] Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that the front hood 60 and / or the second wall 40 are slanted both in the direction away from the front end 52 (as in Fig. 5) and in the direction towards the front end 52 (not shown).

[0060] In all embodiments, it can be provided that the storage compartment 12 is covered only by the front cover 20. Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the storage compartment 12 is covered by the front cover 20 and the front hood 60.

[0061] Furthermore, at least one locking device for locking the pivotable components, such as the front cover 20, the front hood 60, the first wall 30, and / or the second wall 40, is conceivable in all embodiments. Preferably, the locking device can be configured to lock two pivotable components together. This allows a joint pivoting movement to be performed. Alternatively or additionally, the locking device can also be configured to lock only a single pivotable component.

[0062] Various embodiments are conceivable for this, including, for example, a mechanical, magnetic, and / or electrical locking mechanism, a positive locking mechanism, a frictional locking mechanism, and / or a driver for driving a pivotable component. Furthermore, such devices can, for example, comprise at least one adjusting lever, a lock, and / or a Bowden cable. Furthermore, it is conceivable for the locking device to be lockable and / or unlockable using a (radio) key and / or an app.

[0063] Purely by way of example, the functioning of such a locking device for the first wall 30 and the front cover 20 is explained with reference to the Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B explains: The locking device can be configured to unlock, for example, the first wall 30 of the front cover 20 in a first position. This allows the front cover 12 to be opened and access to the first storage compartment 12 is provided, compare, for example, Fig. 1A. Furthermore, the locking device can be configured to lock, for example, the first wall 30 to the front cover 20 in a second position. This allows the front cover 20 to be opened together with the first wall 30, and access to the second storage compartment 14 is provided, see, for example, Fig. 1B. This explanation is purely exemplary and can be applied to all Fig. 1 to 5 shown combinations of an optional locking between the front cover 20 or the front hood 60, the first wall 30 and / or the second wall 40.

[0064] Preferably, the second wall 40 is also lockable. In this context, it is conceivable that a corresponding locking device is preferably operable from the interior of the motor vehicle 50, for example, in the second storage compartment 14 or in the passenger compartment. Furthermore, it is conceivable that such a locking device can preferably only be locked and / or unlocked with a (radio) key and / or an app.

[0065] This ensures that only authorized persons such as the user and / or a service employee have access to the unit room.

[0066] Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that in all embodiments the front cover 20, the front hood 60, the first wall 30 and / or the second wall 40 can be held in their respective open positions with a holding device, for example at least one bracket and / or a spring device, preferably a gas spring, is conceivable here.

[0067] Furthermore, in all embodiments, it is conceivable that the first storage compartment 12 is provided for storing a charging cable. However, it is also conceivable that the second storage compartment 14 is provided for storing the charging cable.

[0068] In general, it is thus conceivable for the first storage compartment 12 to be designed as a wet room and the second storage compartment 14 as a dry room. Conversely, it is conceivable for the first storage compartment 12 to be designed as a dry room and the second storage compartment 14 as a wet room.

[0069] Furthermore, the first storage compartment 12 preferably has at least one vent opening for the outflow of moisture into the vehicle's surroundings. Alternatively or additionally, the first storage compartment 12 can be designed to be at least splash-proof. If the second storage compartment 14 is provided for storing the charging cable, the second storage compartment 14 can have at least one vent opening for the outflow of moisture into the vehicle's surroundings. Alternatively or additionally, the second storage compartment 12 can be designed to be at least splash-proof.

[0070] Furthermore, it is conceivable in all embodiments for the storage device 10 to have at least one hollow chamber seal. This allows, for example, the first storage compartment 14 and / or the second storage compartment 14 to be particularly well protected from environmental influences. The hollow chamber seal is preferably attached to flanges.

[0071] In the Fig. 1 to 5, it is shown only by way of example that the volume of the first storage compartment 12 is smaller than the volume of the second storage compartment 14. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable in all embodiments that the volume of the first storage compartment 12 is equal to the volume of the second storage compartment 14 or that the volume of the first storage compartment 12 is greater than the volume of the second storage compartment 14.

[0072] In all embodiments, it is conceivable that the storage device 10 preferably also has a drive device for opening and closing the front cover 20, the first wall 30, the second wall 40, and / or the front hood 60. This allows for automated opening and closing. An electric and / or hydraulic drive device can preferably be used.

[0073] Furthermore, in all figures, the opening direction towards the front end 52 or away from the front end 52 is symbolized by arrows.
