Description

[0001] The invention relates to a fastening system for attaching a component to a counter-component and a vehicle comprising a fastening system.

[0002] Document US 5,163,795 A discloses a fastening element with a body section comprising a head element and a shank element formed integrally with one side of the head element. The head element has a central opening and at least one flexible engagement element formed integrally with the head element opposite the shank element and extending a predetermined distance into the opening. The shank element comprises at least two substantially elastic shank elements, each having a conically shaped inner surface that faces each other and forms a tapered axial bore through the shank element, tapering away from the opening and oriented in conjunction with it.

[0003] Various fastening systems for attaching a component to a counterpart component are known from practice.

[0004] For example, in vehicle assembly (e.g., when mounting a component to a mating component), rivets with separate expansion sleeves are used. First, a hole is drilled in the component, aligned with a hole in the mating component. Then, the separate expansion sleeve is inserted into the aligned holes. A rivet is then driven into the expansion sleeve, expanding it and thus securing the component to the mating component. Such a technique is shown, for example, in DE 10 2014 218 866 A1.

[0005] This and other known solutions have several disadvantages.

[0006] For example, the assembly effort is comparatively high, as several steps have to be carried out before the component is attached to the counterpart component.

[0007] Furthermore, due to the multiple parts required, there is a risk of losing the individual components.

[0008] In particular, when driving the rivet into the expansion sleeve (e.g. due to an incorrectly executed hammer blow on the rivet), the rivet can easily become misaligned, which can lead, for example, to insufficient fastening between the components.

[0009] Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide a particularly improved and / or alternative technique for attaching a component to a mating component. In particular, it is, for example, an object of the invention to provide an improved technique with which assembly errors can be effectively avoided.

[0010] The problem is solved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous further developments are specified in the dependent claims and the description.

[0011] According to a first aspect, a fastening system is provided for attaching a component to a counter-component.

[0012] The fastening system comprises one component, an optional counter component, and at least one rivet.

[0013] The component has at least one through-opening (e.g. a hole).

[0014] The counterpart component has at least one opening (e.g., a counterpart component bore).

[0015] The at least one rivet is designed to be moved (e.g. by means of a hammer blow) from a starting position through the at least one through-opening into a fastening position.

[0016] In its initial position, the at least one rivet is attached to the component (e.g., on a side facing away from the opposing component) via at least one predetermined breaking point (e.g., via at least one web) and / or integrated into the component.

[0017] The component has at least one guide element (e.g., at least one guide rib). This guide element is designed to guide and / or support the rivet (e.g., laterally) as it moves from its initial position to the fastening position.

[0018] One advantage, for example, is that the at least one rivet is supported and / or guided during insertion. Another advantage is that misalignment of the at least one rivet can be prevented or reduced.

[0019] Overall, the risk of faulty fastening can be reduced.

[0020] Furthermore, the technical effort involved in assembly can be reduced (e.g., because the handling of separate fastening elements, such as expansion sleeves, is eliminated).

[0021] Furthermore, the risk of losing at least one rivet can be reduced.

[0022] Overall, this can result in a reduction in the number of parts and / or a reduction in production time. The technology can be flexibly applied to a wide variety of applications and / or enable a high degree of integration.

[0023] In the fastening position, the at least one rivet can extend, for example, through the at least one through-hole and through the at least one opening, and / or the component can be fastened to the counter-component.

[0024] The at least one opening can extend through the entire opposing component.

[0025] For example, at least one guide element is integrated into the component and / or attached to the component (e.g., injection molded).

[0026] According to the invention, the at least one guide element rests flatly against a lateral surface of the at least one rivet, at least partially (e.g. directly) (e.g. to support the at least one rivet on the lateral surface when moving from the starting position to the fastening position and / or to prevent the at least one rivet from tilting when moving from the starting position to the fastening position).

[0027] The lateral surface preferably connects a (e.g., substantially circular) base surface of the at least one rivet with a (e.g., substantially circular) top surface of the at least one rivet. Preferably, a longitudinal axis of the rivet does not intersect the lateral surface. This allows the at least one rivet to be advantageously supported laterally. This facilitates and / or ensures that the at least one rivet is driven into the at least one through-hole in a manner that is substantially orthogonal to the component. This reduces the risk of inadequate fastening of the component to the mating component.

[0028] The at least one guide element lies flat against the lateral surface over at least half of the total length of the at least one rivet, viewed along a longitudinal axis of the rivet (e.g. in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rivet).

[0029] For example, it is conceivable that an end of the at least one rivet facing the component is supported by means of the at least one guide element.

[0030] This further reduces the risk of misalignment when moving from the starting position to the fastening position.

[0031] According to one embodiment, the at least one guide element can be wedge-shaped and / or wing-like, at least in some sections. Optionally, the at least one guide element can taper in a direction away from the component (e.g., by having a decreasing cross-section in the direction away from the component). This allows forces (e.g., transverse forces) introduced into the at least one guide element by the at least one rivet to be transferred particularly effectively into the component and / or provides particularly good support for the rivet on the component.

[0032] According to one embodiment, the component can have at least one spreading element which is designed to engage in its fixing position in the at least one opening of the counter component in order to positively lock the component to the counter component and / or to pre-position (e.g. pre-fix) the component to the counter component.

[0033] This ensures, for example, that the at least one through-hole is aligned with the at least one opening. Advantageously, it can facilitate and / or support the movement of the at least one rivet from its initial position to its fastening position.

[0034] The at least one spreading element can, for example, extend through the at least one opening of the opposing component in the fixing position.

[0035] According to one embodiment, the at least one spreading element can be designed to be resiliently bendable with respect to a longitudinal axis of the at least one through-opening.

[0036] Optionally, at least one spreading element can be designed, for example, as a spring tongue projecting from the component (e.g., freely cantilevered).

[0037] For example, it is conceivable that the at least one spreading element is designed to be pressed and / or bent by a circumferential edge of the at least one opening of the opposing component (e.g. elastically) towards the longitudinal axis of the at least one through-opening when the at least one spreading element is moved into the fixing position.

[0038] This allows, for example, particularly good pre-positioning (e.g., pre-fixing) of the component on the opposing component.

[0039] According to one embodiment, the at least one rivet in the fastening position can block the at least one expanding element from moving out of the fixing position. Optionally, the at least one rivet in its fastening position can be arranged radially inside the at least one expanding element with respect to a longitudinal axis of the at least one through-opening.

[0040] This can, for example, prevent the accidental movement of at least one spreading element out of the fixing position, thus ensuring that the component is more securely attached to the opposing component.

[0041] According to one embodiment, the at least one spreading element (e.g. at its distal end in relation to the component) can have a material thickening which is designed to engage behind the opposing component in the fixing position (e.g. barbed).

[0042] Optionally, the material thickening at the distal end tapers to a point to facilitate the insertion of the at least one spreading element into the at least one opening.

[0043] This allows the component to be attached to the opposing component particularly securely.

[0044] According to one embodiment, the at least one rivet can be designed to spread and / or widen outwards in relation to its rivet longitudinal axis when moving from the initial position to the fastening position.

[0045] Optionally, at least one rivet can be designed to press at least one spreading element into the fixing position and / or to hold it in the fixing position.

[0046] For example, at least one rivet can be a expanding rivet.

[0047] According to one embodiment, the at least one predetermined breaking point can be designed and / or dimensioned to break and / or burst due to an assembly force (e.g. predetermined) applied to the rivet.

[0048] For example, at least one predetermined breaking point is designed and / or dimensioned to break and / or burst when struck with a hammer on at least one rivet.

[0049] For example, at least one rivet can be detached from the component in this way.

[0050] According to one embodiment, the at least one rivet in its initial position and / or the at least one guide element and / or the at least one spreading element can be attached to the component and / or integrated into the component by means of injection molding (e.g. plastic injection molding).

[0051] For example, the at least one rivet and / or the at least one guide element and / or the at least one expanding element can be integrally formed in one piece with the component by means of injection molding (e.g. plastic injection molding).

[0052] Preferably, the at least one rivet, the at least one guide element and the at least one spreading element can be manufactured in a single injection molding process.

[0053] This can, for example, reduce the technical effort, as assembly steps (such as holding at least one rivet above at least one through-hole) can be eliminated.

[0054] According to one embodiment, the at least one rivet can be arranged in the starting position (and optionally in the fastening position) in alignment with the at least one through-opening.

[0055] For example, the longitudinal axis of the rivet and the longitudinal axis of the at least one through-hole may coincide and / or be identical.

[0056] Alternatively or additionally, at least one rivet can be arranged in the initial position on a side of the component facing away from the opposing component.

[0057] According to one embodiment, the at least one rivet can have several rivets as disclosed herein.

[0058] For example, the multiple rivets can be provided at different fastening positions of the component.

[0059] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one guide element can have several (e.g. three) guide elements evenly distributed around the at least one through-opening.

[0060] For example, the multiple guide elements can be arranged evenly distributed along one edge of the at least one through-opening.

[0061] By way of example only, a first guide element can be arranged at a 12 o'clock position of the at least one through-opening, a second guide element at a 4 o'clock position of the at least one through-opening and a third guide element at an 8 o'clock position of the at least one through-opening.

[0062] This can, for example, achieve a particularly even support of the at least one rivet.

[0063] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one predetermined breaking point can have several (e.g. three) predetermined breaking points evenly distributed around the at least one through-opening.

[0064] For example, the multiple predetermined breaking points can be evenly distributed along one edge of the at least one through-opening.

[0065] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one spreading element can have several (e.g. three) spreading elements evenly distributed around the at least one through-opening.

[0066] For example, the multiple predetermined breaking points can be evenly distributed along one edge of the at least one through-opening.

[0067] By way of example only, a first spreading element can be arranged at a 2 o'clock position of the at least one through-opening, a second spreading element at a 6 o'clock position of the at least one through-opening and a third spreading element at a 10 o'clock position of the at least one through-opening.

[0068] For example, it may be advantageous to achieve a particularly secure fastening of the component to the opposing component.

[0069] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one rivet can comprise a substantially cylindrical body.

[0070] According to one embodiment, the component can include a cable duct (e.g. a cable tunnel) and / or the counterpart component can be enclosed by a vehicle cab.

[0071] For example, the cable duct and / or the counter-component includes a plastic material.

[0072] The cable duct can accommodate, for example, electrical cables and / or supply cables and / or cable bundles.

[0073] According to a second aspect, a vehicle (e.g. a motor vehicle) is provided which has a fastening system as disclosed herein.

[0074] Preferably, this refers to a vehicle, specifically a motor vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle. In other words, it can be a motor vehicle whose design and equipment are specifically suited for transporting people, goods, or towing trailers. For example, the commercial vehicle could be a truck.

[0075] In principle, the vehicle could also be, for example, an airplane or a rail-bound vehicle.

[0076] However, it is also conceivable that the vehicle is still in the manufacturing process and / or not yet fully assembled (e.g., a vehicle body shell).

[0077] The embodiments, variants, and features of the invention described above can be combined with one another as desired. Further details and advantages of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. These show: Fig. 1 a schematic representation of a fastening system for attaching a component to a counter-component according to one embodiment (view perpendicular to the component); Fig. 2 a schematic representation of the fastening system made of Fig. 1 (section along section line AA) in a starting position; Fig. 3 a schematic representation of the fastening system made of Fig. 1 (section along section line BB) in the starting position; and Fig. 4 a schematic representation of the fastening system made of Fig. 1 (section along section line BB) in a fastening position.

[0078] The embodiments shown in the figures are at least partially identical, so that similar or identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals and, to avoid repetition, reference is also made to the description of the other figures for their explanation.

[0079] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a fastening system 100 for fastening a component 10 to a counter-component 20 in a view perpendicular to the component, among other things to clarify the section paths in the Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.

[0080] The component may preferably include a cable duct. Furthermore, the counterpart component 20 may be part of the cab of a vehicle (e.g., a motor vehicle and / or a commercial vehicle).

[0081] Furthermore, it is conceivable that the at least one rivet 12 has several rivets 12 which are provided, for example, at different fastening positions P2 of the component 10.

[0082] Furthermore, the at least one rivet 12 can comprise a substantially cylindrical body (e.g. a rivet shank).

[0083] Furthermore, it is conceivable that at least one rivet 12 is designed as an expansion rivet.

[0084] Fig. Figure 2 shows a schematic sectional view of the fastening system 100 along the section line AA. Fig. 1.

[0085] The fastening system 100 comprises a component 10, optionally the counter component 20, at least one rivet 12 and optionally at least one expanding element 18a-c.

[0086] Component 10 has at least one through-opening 10a.

[0087] The counterpart component 20 has at least one opening 20a.

[0088] Preferably, the at least one through-opening 10a and the at least one opening 20a are arranged in alignment with each other (e.g. by having their respective longitudinal axes coincide).

[0089] The at least one opening 20a can, for example, have a larger diameter than the at least one through-opening 10a.

[0090] The at least one rivet 12 is designed to be moved from a starting position P1 through the at least one through-opening 10a into a fastening position P2.

[0091] In the Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 is the at least one rivet 12 shown in its starting position P1, while Fig. 4 shows at least one rivet 12 in its fastening position P2 as an example.

[0092] For example, the at least one rivet 12 (e.g. by means of a hammer blow on the at least one rivet 12) can be driven from its initial position P1 in the direction of a longitudinal axis X of the at least one through opening 20a through the at least one through opening 20a and the at least one opening 10a.

[0093] While the at least one rivet 12 is attached to the component 10 in the initial position P1 via at least one predetermined breaking connection point 14 (e.g. via at least one web), the at least one rivet 12 can extend through the at least one through-opening 10a and the at least one opening 20a in the fastening position P2.

[0094] The at least one rivet 12 can be arranged in the initial position P1 on a side of the component 10 facing away from the counter component 20.

[0095] In mounting position P2, component 10 can be attached to the counterpart component 20.

[0096] The at least one predetermined breaking point 14 can have several (e.g. three) predetermined breaking points 14 evenly distributed around the at least one through-opening 10a.

[0097] The at least one predetermined breaking point 14 can be designed and / or dimensioned to break and / or burst due to an assembly force (e.g. predetermined) applied to the at least one rivet 12 (e.g. by means of a mounting hammer).

[0098] For example, to avoid tilting of the at least one rivet 12 when moving through the at least one through-opening 10a and the at least one opening 20a, the component 10 has at least one guide element 16a-c.

[0099] For example, at least one guide element 16a-c can be attached to component 10 and / or integrated into component 10.

[0100] The at least one guide element 16a-c is designed to guide and / or support the at least one rivet 12 when moving from the starting position P1 to the fastening position P2.

[0101] Alternatively or additionally, the at least one guide element 16a-c can have several guide elements 16a-c evenly distributed around the at least one through-opening 10a.

[0102] Preferably, the component 10 has three guide elements 16a-c.

[0103] By way of example only, it is conceivable that a first guide element 16a is arranged at a 12 o'clock position with respect to the at least one through-opening 10a, a second guide element 16b is arranged at a 4 o'clock position and a third guide element 16c is arranged at an 8 o'clock position, as shown by way of example in Fig. 1 is shown.

[0104] Furthermore, the component 10 can have at least one spreading element 18a-c which is designed to engage in a fixing position F in the at least one opening 20a of the counter component 20 in order to positively connect the component 10 to the counter component 20 and / or to pre-position the component 10 on the counter component 20 (see Fig. 2).

[0105] Preferably, the at least one spreading element 18a-c can have several (e.g. three) spreading elements 18a-c distributed evenly around the at least one through-opening 10a.

[0106] By way of example only, it is conceivable that a first spreading element 18a is arranged at a 2 o'clock position with respect to the at least one through-opening 10a, a second spreading element 18b is arranged at a 6 o'clock position and a third spreading element 18c is arranged at a 10 o'clock position.

[0107] The at least one spreading element 18a-c can, for example, be designed as a spring tongue projecting from the component 10.

[0108] For pre-positioning and / or pre-fixing of component 10 to the counterpart component 20, it is conceivable that component 10 is placed against the counterpart component 20 and the at least one through-opening 10 is first brought into a mutually aligned position with the at least one opening 20. The spreading elements 18a-c can be guided through the at least one through-opening 20a. Component 10 can thus be attached to the counterpart component 20.

[0109] For example, a material thickening may be formed at the distal end of the respective spreading element 18a-c in relation to the component.

[0110] The material thickening can be pointed, for example, to facilitate the insertion of the spreading elements into the at least one through-opening 20a.

[0111] The spreading elements 18a-c can be designed to be resiliently bendable with respect to a longitudinal axis X of the at least one through-opening 10a.

[0112] When the respective spreading element 18a-c is passed through the at least one through-opening 20a, the spreading elements 18a-c can initially yield springily towards the longitudinal axis X of the through-opening 20a by being pressed towards the longitudinal axis X by a circumferential edge of the at least one opening 20.

[0113] It is conceivable that the material thickenings will reappear on a side of the opposing component 20 opposite component 10.

[0114] The spreading elements 18a-c can be designed to engage the counter-component 20 in the fixing position F (e.g., in a hook-like manner) and / or to secure it in a form-fitting manner (e.g., by moving the spreading elements 18a-c away from the longitudinal axis X in a spring-like and / or elastic manner).

[0115] To reduce the technical effort, the at least one rivet 12 in its initial position P1 and / or the at least one guide element 16a-c and / or the at least one spreading element 18a-c can be attached to the component 10 by injection molding (e.g. plastic injection molding) and / or integrated into the component 10.

[0116] Fig. Figure 3 shows a schematic sectional view of the fastening system 100 in a starting position P1 along the section line BB. Fig. 1.

[0117] The at least one guide element 16a-c can bear against a lateral surface 12a of the at least one rivet 12 at least partially (e.g. to support the at least one rivet 12 on the lateral surface 12a when moving from the starting position P1 to the fastening position P2 and / or to prevent the at least one rivet 12 from tilting when moving from the starting position P1 to the fastening position P2).

[0118] Furthermore, the at least one guide element 16a-c, viewed along a rivet longitudinal axis, can lie flat against the lateral surface 12a over at least one fifth, at least one quarter, at least one third or at least half of a total length L of the at least one rivet 12.

[0119] Furthermore, it is conceivable that the at least one guide element 16a-c is at least partially wedge-shaped and / or at least partially wing-like.

[0120] Optionally, the at least one guide element 16a-c can taper in a direction away from the component 10 (e.g. by having a decreasing cross-section in the direction away from the component).

[0121] Fig. Figure 4 shows a schematic sectional view of the fastening system 100 in the fastening position P2 along the section line BB. Fig. 1.

[0122] As already described, the at least one rivet 12 can be moved from the starting position P1 through the at least one through-opening 10a and the at least one opening 20a into the fastening position P2 (e.g. by means of a hammer blow on the at least one rivet 12).

[0123] In the fastening position P2, the at least one rivet 12 can block the at least one expanding element 18a-c from moving out of the fixing position F.

[0124] For example, the at least one rivet 12 can be arranged in its fastening position P2 with respect to a longitudinal axis X of the at least one through-opening 10a radially within the at least one spreading element 18a-c.

[0125] The at least one rivet 12 can thus prevent the spreading elements 18a-c from being pushed back.

[0126] Thus, at least one rivet 12 can be designed to spread outwards in relation to its rivet longitudinal axis when moving from the starting position P1 to the fastening position P2.

[0127] Preferably, the at least one rivet 12 can be in its fastening position P2, the at least one expanding element 18a-c can be pressed into the fixing position F and / or held in the fixing position F.

[0128] It is conceivable that the component 10 is attached to the counter-component 20 if the at least one spreading element 18a-c is in the fixing position F and the at least one rivet 12 is in the fastening position P2.

[0129] In other words, at least one rivet 12 may have reached its final position and the respective assembly step may be completed.

[0130] The invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described above. Rather, a multitude of variants and modifications are possible, which also make use of the inventive concept and therefore fall within the scope of protection. Furthermore, the invention also claims protection for the subject matter and features of the dependent claims, irrespective of the features and claims referenced therein.
