Description

[0001] The invention relates to an arrangement of a first body component on a second body component for a motor vehicle body according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] DE 10 2020 114 424 A1 discloses a support arrangement for a front section of a motor vehicle, comprising a first longitudinal member and a second longitudinal member, which are spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction of the support arrangement, and a front axle support, wherein the front axle support is arranged in the vertical direction of the support arrangement below the longitudinal members and comprises a first support arm and a second support arm, which extend substantially in the longitudinal direction of the support arrangement.

[0003] Furthermore, DE 10 2017 222 225 B4 and US 11 628 487 B2 disclose an arrangement of a first body component on a second body component for a motor vehicle body, in which the first body component has a support area over which the first body component is supported on the second body component at least in a support direction extending perpendicular to the support area, and the first body component and the second body component are connected to each other via at least one joining element formed separately from the body components, wherein a central axis of the joining element extending in the axial direction of the joining element runs obliquely to the support direction.US 11 628 487 B2 discloses that the joining element is designed as a screw element, by means of which the first and the second body component are screwed together and the first body component has a flange area projecting outwards from a base body of the first body component.

[0004] Furthermore, an arrangement of a first body component on a second body component for a motor vehicle body is known from DE 10 2014 108 958 B4 and DE 10 2014 108 882 A1, in which the first body component has a support area, over which the first body component is supported on the second body component at least in a support direction extending perpendicular to the support area, and the first body component and the second body component are connected to each other via at least one joining element formed separately from the body components.

[0005] The object of the invention is to create an arrangement of a first body component on a second body component for a motor vehicle body, so that the motor vehicle body can be manufactured with particularly little effort.

[0006] This problem is solved according to the invention by an arrangement of a first body component on a second body component for a motor vehicle body with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims and the description.

[0007] The invention relates to an arrangement of a first body component on a second body component, in particular a second body component formed separately from the first body component, for a motor vehicle body, especially for a front section of the motor vehicle body. The arrangement can be understood in particular as a holding arrangement or a fastening arrangement.

[0008] The term "motor vehicle body" refers to a body, preferably a self-supporting structure, for a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle is, for example, a passenger car. The term "front section" can refer in particular to the front-facing area or part of the motor vehicle body located at the front of the vehicle in the longitudinal direction. Preferably, the motor vehicle body, and especially the front section, in its fully manufactured state, comprises, for example, the first body component and the second body component.

[0009] The first body component is designed, for example, as an assembly, particularly comprising several components, or as a single body component. Thus, the first body component can be multi-piece or single-piece. The second body component is also designed, for example, as an assembly, particularly comprising several components, or as a single body component. Thus, the second body component can be single-piece or multi-piece.

[0010] The first body panel has at least one support area, in particular at least one support surface. For example, the support surface is part of the support area. Via the support area, in particular via the support surface, the first body panel is supported on the second body panel, at least in a support direction extending perpendicular to the support area, in particular the support surface, and in particular at least indirectly or directly. In other words, the body panels are in a support arrangement, in particular at least indirectly or directly, preferably mutually, mediated by the support area. Thus, via the support area, the first body panel can be supported on the second body panel along the support direction, and / or the second body panel can be supported on the first body panel along the support direction via the support area.The fact that the first body component is supported on the second body component at least in the support direction can be understood in particular to mean that the first body component is supported on the second body component in the support direction via the support area, wherein the first body component may optionally also be supported on the second body component via the support area in at least one further direction, wherein the further direction is a direction different from the support direction, which, for example, runs obliquely or perpendicular to the support direction.

[0011] The support area is preferably a main support area. This means that if the arrangement, in particular the first body component, has at least one further support area different from the main support area, the main support area is larger than the further support area, and in particular larger than all further support areas. Thus, the support direction is preferably a main support direction.

[0012] The first and second body components are connected to each other via at least one joining element, which is separate from the body components, preferably by friction and / or form-fitting, and in particular at least indirectly or directly. In other words, the body components are attached to each other via or by means of the joining element, and in particular at least indirectly or directly.

[0013] To enable the particularly efficient production and assembly of the vehicle body, the invention incorporates a central axis of the joining element extending axially in the direction of the joining element that runs obliquely to the support direction. This means that the central axis of the joining element extends obliquely to the support direction. In other words, the joining element is inclined relative to the first body component and / or relative to the second body component. The joining element can therefore also be referred to as an inclined joining element. This means that the joining element extends obliquely to the first and / or the second body component. The term "oblique" specifically does not mean perpendicular, whereby the central axis of the joining element extends at an angle to the support direction that is between 0 degrees and 90 degrees, i.e., greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.Therefore, the angle is not a right angle. In particular, the joining element extends obliquely through the first and / or the second body component.

[0014] The invention is based in particular on the following findings and considerations: Conventionally, joining elements can be positioned at right angles to the support direction or to the body components. However, this can lead to accessibility problems at the corresponding joining point, which may be caused, for example, by interfering contours of at least one of the body components. Furthermore, the necessary flange lengths can result in an increase in weight. Additionally, the distance between a joining point and a force application point, especially the main force application point, can be particularly large. This can also be described as an increase in the distance between the joining point and the force application point.

[0015] In contrast, the aforementioned disadvantages can be avoided by means of the arrangement according to the invention. Because the central axis of the joining element runs obliquely to the support direction, or because the joining element is inclined, accessibility to a filling point, via or at which the body components are connected to one another by means of the joining element, can be significantly improved. The joining point, and in particular the joining element, can thus be reached particularly well, for example during assembly. This greatly simplifies the assembly process. Furthermore, the joining element can be positioned particularly close, and in particular as close as possible, to a force-inducing position, especially a primary force-inducing position. This can enhance the function of the body components, i.e., enable functional advantages, and / or save weight and / or component costs.

[0016] Furthermore, it is provided that the joining element is designed as a screw element, via which or by means of which the first and the second body component are screwed together, in particular by forming a screw connection, at least indirectly or directly, especially at an angle. In other words, the screw element is guided at an angle through the first and / or the second body component. Thus, the screw element is, in particular, an angled screw element with respect to the first body component and / or with respect to the second body component and / or with respect to the support area. This angled position allows the screw element to be accessed particularly well, for example during assembly, thereby enabling it to be screwed in with minimal effort. The screw element is, for example, a screw with, in particular, an external thread.A screw is formed. Furthermore, it is provided that the first and the second body component are screwed together via the screw element by means of a fastening part arranged on a side of the second body component facing away from the first body component, in particular at least indirectly or directly. In other words, the second body component has a first side which faces the first body component, that is, which points or is oriented in the direction of the first body component, and the second body component has a second side, in particular different from the first side, preferably facing away from the first side, which faces away from the first body component, that is, which points or is oriented in a direction away from the first body component, wherein the fastening part is on the second side, in particular directly,The first body component is arranged on the second body component, and the first body component is screwed to the fastening element via the screw element or by means of the screw element. The fastening element is held or attached, in particular at least indirectly or directly, to the second body component on the second side, thereby connecting the body components to one another. This allows the body components to be fastened to one another in a particularly secure and / or particularly cost-effective manner. The fastening element is preferably designed separately from the first body component, the second body component, and / or the screw element. Preferably, the fastening element has at least one thread, in particular an internal thread, via which the screw element is screwed to the fastening element. For example, the fastening element is designed as a threaded plate.

[0017] Alternatively or additionally, the first body component has a flange area projecting outwards from a base body of the first body component, particularly in the radial direction of the body component. In other words, the flange area extends obliquely or perpendicularly to the base body. The joining element is arranged, particularly directly, within the flange area. This means that the joining element extends, particularly directly, through the flange area. In other words, the flange area surrounds the joining element, particularly in its circumferential direction, at least partially, and in particular completely. This embodiment is based in particular on the understanding that the flange area can act as an intermediary in force transmission between the body components, and thus, for example, can create a weak point in the connection between the body components.By arranging the inclined joining element in the flange area, the flange area, particularly in the radial direction of the first body component, can be made especially small, resulting in a particularly minimal protrusion of the flange area from the base body of the first body component. This enables a particularly advantageous force transmission between the body components, especially because the joining element can be positioned very close to a main force transmission point. This significantly increases the mechanical strength of the vehicle body. Furthermore, the weight of the vehicle body can be kept particularly low, especially due to material savings resulting from the exceptionally small flange area.

[0018] Alternatively or additionally, the first body component is designed as a longitudinal member, for example, as an engine longitudinal member. Preferably, the longitudinal member, and in particular one of its main directions of extension, extends at least substantially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle or vehicle body. Due to the previously described inclined position of the joining element, the longitudinal member can thus be attached to the second body component in a particularly load-bearing and cost-effective manner. Preferably, the first body component or longitudinal member projects forward in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and in particular along the support direction, from the second body component. Preferably, the support direction runs at least substantially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. In particular, the support direction runs parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0019] Alternatively or additionally, the second body component is provided for as part of a bulkhead structure. In other words, the bulkhead structure incorporates the second body component. Specifically, the bulkhead structure forms a bulkhead of the vehicle body, at least partially, and in particular predominantly or completely. The bulkhead or bulkhead structure is, for example, arranged longitudinally between the front of the vehicle and an interior space. Thus, the bulkhead structure or bulkhead, for example, defines or limits the interior space at least partially in the longitudinal direction forward. The interior space, which can also be referred to as the vehicle interior, can be understood to be, in particular, a passenger cell or passenger compartment. For example, the second body component is designed as a bulkhead crossmember or as part of the bulkhead crossmember.Thus, the first body component, in particular the longitudinal member, can preferably be attached to the second body component or the front wall structure in a particularly load-bearing manner and with minimal effort.

[0020] In a further embodiment, the central axis of the joining element extends at an angle to the support direction. This means that the central axis and the support direction—that is, in particular an imaginary axis running in the direction of the support—form an angle with each other. In other words, the central axis of the joining element and the support direction are at the aforementioned angle to each other. Preferably, the angle is at least 2 degrees, in particular at least 5 degrees, at least 8 degrees, or at least 10 degrees. This embodiment is based in particular on the understanding that at such an angle, that is, in particular at an inclination of at least 2 degrees, at least 5, 8, or at least 10 degrees, the joining point or the screw connection can be accessed particularly well, thereby minimizing assembly effort.Furthermore, at least one of the body components, for example the first body component, can be designed to be particularly compact, thereby keeping the weight of the vehicle body especially low. Alternatively or additionally, it is preferably provided that the angle is a maximum of 20 degrees, and in particular a maximum of 15 degrees. This embodiment is based in particular on the understanding that if the angle were chosen to be too large, at least one of the body components, for example the first body component, would have to be made particularly thick, which would negatively affect the weight of the vehicle body. Furthermore, the assembly effort could be increased, for example, because the inclined position of the joining element, in particular the screw element, could cause a deflection of the joining element or the screw element when forming the connection between the body components.

[0021] In a further embodiment, the joining element is provided for, in particular obliquely and / or directly, to extend through the support area. In other words, the joining element is arranged, in particular directly, within the support area. In other words, the support area, in particular in the circumferential direction of the joining element, surrounds the joining element at least partially, and in particular completely. This allows the first body component to be attached to the second body component in a particularly cost-effective and / or particularly compact manner.

[0022] In a further embodiment, the flange area is designed so that it extends perpendicularly to the central axis of the joining element on its side facing away from the second body component. This means that a surface of the flange area located on the side facing away from the second body component extends perpendicularly to the central axis of the joining element. In other words, the central axis of the joining element runs perpendicular to the side of the flange area facing away from the second body component, and in particular perpendicular to the aforementioned surface. Thus, the flange area on the side facing away from the second body component can also be inclined, which can positively influence accessibility to the joining point.Furthermore, the joining element, in particular a head of the joining element, for example a screw head, can be supported in a particularly load-bearing manner on the flange area on the side facing away from the second body component.

[0023] Alternatively or additionally, it is provided, for example, that the flange area extends obliquely to the central axis of the joining element on its side facing the second body component, particularly at the aforementioned angle. This means that the central axis of the joining element extends obliquely to the side of the flange area facing the second body component, specifically obliquely to a surface of the flange area located on the side facing the second body component. This allows the first body component to be supported on the second body component in a particularly load-bearing manner, while simultaneously significantly increasing accessibility to the joining point.

[0024] In a further embodiment, the flange area is designed to at least partially form the support area. This means that the first body component is supported in the support direction via the flange area, particularly at least indirectly or directly, against the second body component. In other words, the support area includes the flange area, making the flange area, for example, a sub-area of ​​the support area. This allows the body components to be supported against each other and connected to each other in a particularly load-bearing manner.

[0025] The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to a preferred embodiment and the drawings. The drawings show: Fig. 1 a schematic top view of an arrangement according to the invention; and Fig. 2 a schematic detail view of an arrangement according to the invention from above; and Fig. 3 A schematic representation to illustrate an arrangement according to the invention with a further arrangement.

[0026] In the figures, identical or functionally equivalent elements are provided with the same reference symbols.

[0027] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic top view of an arrangement 1 of a first body component 2 on a second body component 3 for a motor vehicle body 4. Thus, in Fig. Figure 1 shows, in particular, a schematic partial view of the motor vehicle body 4, especially from above. The body components 2, 3 are designed separately from each other.

[0028] In the exemplary embodiment, the first body component 2 is designed as a longitudinal member 5, for example, as an engine longitudinal member. Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment, the second body component 3 is part of a bulkhead structure 6. In other words, the second body component 3 forms the bulkhead structure 6, at least partially. In this example, the second body component 3 is designed as a bulkhead cross member 7 of the bulkhead structure. Therefore, in this example, the first body component 2 projects forward from the second body component 3 in the longitudinal direction 8 of the vehicle. Thus, the first body component 2 extends further forward in the longitudinal direction 8 of the vehicle than the second body component 3, at least partially, and in particular predominantly or completely. In the example shown, the first body component 2 is designed as a bulkhead cross member 7 of the bulkhead structure. Fig. The section of the vehicle body 4 shown in Figure 1 is therefore a node area, which can also be referred to as the "front wall node" or simply as a node. In this node area, the longitudinal member 5 and the front wall structure 6, in particular the front wall cross member 7, meet.

[0029] In Fig. Figure 2 shows the arrangement 1, or the vehicle body 4, in a schematic detail view from above. The first body component 2 has at least one support area 9, over which the first body component 2 is supported on the second body component 3, at least indirectly or directly, in a support direction 10 extending perpendicular to the support area 9, for example, in the longitudinal direction 8 of the vehicle to the rear. As shown in Fig. As can be seen particularly well in Figure 2, the support area 9 has at least one support surface 11, via which the aforementioned support is effected. The support direction 10 preferably runs at least substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction 8 of the vehicle. In this case, the first body component 2 extends from the second body component 3 along the support direction 10, in particular in a direction opposite to the support direction 10.

[0030] In the exemplary embodiment, the second body component 3 has at least one contact surface 12, in particular facing the first body component 2. The first body component 2 is supported on the second body component 3 in the support direction 10 via the support area 9, in particular via the support surface 11, mediated by the contact surface 12, in particular at least indirectly or directly. In particular, the support area 9, for example the support surface 11, preferably rests directly against the contact surface 12.

[0031] Furthermore, the first body panel 2 and the second body panel 3 are connected to each other, in particular at least indirectly or directly, via at least one joining element 13, which is formed separately from the body panels 2 and 3. In the exemplary embodiment, however, several such joining elements 13 are provided. This means that the first body panel 2 and the second body panel 3 are connected to each other, in particular at least indirectly or directly, via several joining elements 13, which are formed separately from the body panels 2 and 3. In the exemplary embodiment, the joining elements 13 are thus arranged in or at a connection point between the longitudinal member 5, also referred to as the engine mount, and the front bulkhead. The further development is described below using the embodiment with several joining elements as an example; however, it is alternatively possible that only a single joining element 13 is provided.

[0032] To enable the production of the vehicle body 4 with particularly low effort, and in particular to minimize the assembly effort when attaching the first body component 2 to the second body component 3, it is provided that the respective central axis 15 of each joining element 13, extending in the axial direction 14 of the respective joining element 13, runs obliquely to the support direction 10. Thus, the respective axial direction 14 of the respective joining element 13 runs parallel to the respective central axis 15. The central axis 15 is thereby in Fig. 2 exemplified for each of the joining elements 13.

[0033] In Fig. Figure 1 illustrates an assembly space 13a for mounting the joining element 13. A second assembly space 13b is also shown, which would be required if the joining element 13 were not tilted. Comparing these assembly spaces 13a and 13b clearly demonstrates that the joining element 13 can be mounted with minimal effort due to assembly space 13a, as it provides excellent access to the joining point.

[0034] In the exemplary embodiment, the respective central axis 15 of the respective joining element 13 extends at an angle 16 to the support direction 10, which is at least 2 degrees, in particular at least 5, 8 or 10 degrees, and / or a maximum of 20 degrees. For example, the respective angle 16 is exactly 5, 8, 10 or 15 degrees. Particularly preferred values ​​for the respective angle 16 are 5, 8 or 10 degrees. Fig. 2 the respective angle 16 is illustrated with the help of a dashed auxiliary line 17 which runs parallel to the support direction 10.

[0035] In the exemplary embodiment, the respective joining element 13 is designed as a screw element 18, via which the body components 2, 3 are screwed together, in particular at least indirectly or directly. To form this screw connection, a fastening part 19 is provided, in particular designed separately from the body components 2, 3. The fastening part 19 is arranged on a side 20 of the second body component 3 facing away from the first body component 2. Thus, the fastening part 19 extends at least partially, in particular predominantly or completely, on the side 20 of the second body component 3 facing away from the first body component 2. In other words, the fastening part 19 and the first body component 2 are arranged on different sides of the second body component 3.The body components 2, 3 are screwed together via the respective screw element 18 and the fastening part 19.

[0036] For example, the fastening part 19 has at least one thread by which it is screwed to the respective screw element 18. The thread of the fastening part 19 is, for example, an internal thread. The screw element 18 has, for example, a second thread, whereby, to form the screw connection, i.e., to create a screw joint, the screw element 18 and the fastening part 19 are screwed together by means of their respective first and second threads. Thus, the respective first thread and the respective second thread mesh with each other. The respective second thread of the respective screw element 18 is, for example, an external thread. As in Fig. As illustrated in Figure 2, the second body component 3 has at least one through-opening 21 through which the respective screw element 18 is passed, in particular inserted. Thus, the respective screw element 18, in particular a respective screw shank of the screw element 18, extends at least partially within the respective through-opening 21.

[0037] In the exemplary embodiment, the first body component 2 has a base body 22 and a flange region 23, which can be referred to as a flange, projecting outwards, particularly in the radial direction of the first body component 2, i.e., in a direction extending perpendicular to an axial direction of the first body component 2. In this example, the flange region 23 projects obliquely or perpendicularly from the base body 22. The base body 22 and the flange region 23 can be formed integrally with the base body 22. Alternatively, the base body 22 and the flange region 23 can be formed separately from one another and, in particular, connected to each other. In this example, the first body component 2 rests against the second body component 3, particularly against the contact surface 12, via the flange region 23, and in particular directly.In this case, the respective joining element 13 is arranged, in particular directly, in the flange area 23. Due to the respective inclination of the joining element 13, it can be positioned particularly close to the base body 22, allowing the flange area 23 to be designed to be particularly small. This minimizes the amount of material required for the flange area 23, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle body 4. Furthermore, a main load area for supporting the first body component 2 in the support direction 10 is located on the second body component 3 in a sub-area 24 of the support area 9, wherein in this sub-area 24 the second body component 3, in particular the contact surface 12, is covered, for example, in the longitudinal direction 8 of the vehicle, by the base body 22 of the first body component 2.Thus, by means of the respective inclination of the respective joining element 13, the respective joining element 13 can be positioned particularly close to the main support area or the sub-area 24, and therefore particularly close to a force-inducing position. This allows the mechanical load-bearing capacity of the vehicle body 4 to be significantly increased.

[0038] As in Fig. 1 and Fig. As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, the flange area 23 forms the support area 9 at least partially, and in particular predominantly or completely. In other words, the support area 9 forms the flange area 23 at least partially. Thus, the flange area 23 can be a sub-area, which can be referred to as a further sub-area, of the support area 9. In particular, the flange area 23 adjoins the sub-area 24, especially in the radial direction of the first body component 2 outwards. For example, the sub-area 24 and the flange area 23 extend in a plane, in particular a common plane. Thus, the sub-area 24 and the flange area 23 extend, in particular, parallel to each other. Since the flange area 23 can be a sub-area of ​​the support area 9, the respective joining element 13 thus extends through the support area 9 in this case.

[0039] In this embodiment, the flange area 23 has a side 25 facing away from the second body component 3 and a side 26 facing the second body component 3. Thus, sides 25 and 26 are distinct from each other, specifically facing away from each other. For example, a first surface 27 of the flange area 23 is arranged on side 25, and a second surface 28 of the flange area 23 is arranged on side 26. The second surface 28 is formed, for example, by the support surface 11. In this embodiment, the flange area 23, and in particular the first surface 27, extends on side 25 perpendicular to the respective central axis 15 of the respective joining element 13. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flange area 23, and in particular the second surface 28, extends on side 26 obliquely, specifically at an angle 16, to the respective central axis 15 of the respective joining element 13.Furthermore, the respective central axis 15 of the respective joining element 13 extends obliquely to the contact surface 12, in particular at the angle 16. In particular, the respective central axis 15 of the respective joining element 13 extends obliquely, in particular at the angle 16, to an axial direction of the respective through-opening 21.

[0040] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 2, the fastening part 19 has a second contact surface 29, over which the fastening part 19, particularly on side 20, for example directly, abuts the second body component 3. In this embodiment, the respective central axis 15 of the respective joining element 13 extends obliquely, particularly at an angle 16, to the second contact surface 29. Thus, it is specifically provided that the flange area 23 on side 25, particularly the first surface 27, extends obliquely, particularly at an angle 16, to the contact surface 12 and / or to the second contact surface 29.

[0041] In this embodiment, each joining element 13 has a head 30, which is designed, for example, as a screw head. The head 30 is located on side 25 of the flange area 23, specifically on the first surface 27, and particularly directly on it. The first surface 27 is thus designed, for example, as a bearing surface for the head 30. This allows for a connection of components in the form of the body panels 2 and 3 with an angular offset from the bearing surface to the rear joining partner in the form of the second body panel and / or the fastening part 19. A front joining plane in the form of the first surface 27 can therefore be inclined relative to the partner part, particularly at an angle 16. The partner part can be the second body panel 3 or the fastening part 19.It can therefore be joined at a 90-degree angle to the first surface 27, also referred to as the front wall, and thus at an angle through rear joining planes in the form of the first and / or the second contact surface 12, 29.

[0042] For example, it is provided that at least two of the joining elements 13 are arranged on different sides of the first body component 2, in particular the base body 22. These sides can be different in the vehicle's vertical or transverse direction. This can be understood in particular as follows: For example, the body components 2, 3 are connected to each other at several connection points via the joining elements 13, that is, at each of the connection points via one of the joining elements 13, wherein the connection points can be arranged, for example, around the first body component 2, in particular around the base body 22, for example, evenly distributed.For example, at least two of the joining elements 13 are aligned with each other such that their central axes 15 face each other, particularly when these joining elements 13 are arranged on the aforementioned different sides of the first body component 2 or the base body 22.

[0043] The described advantages of arrangement 1 are in Fig. Figure 3 illustrates this, comparing arrangement 1 with another arrangement 1a, which is, for example, a conventional arrangement. On the scale shown in Fig. On the right side shown in Figure 3, a joining element 13 is depicted according to arrangement 1 and is shown on the side shown in Figure 3. Fig. On the left side, a corresponding joining element 13 according to further arrangement 1a is shown, wherein the central axis 15 of the joining element 13 of further arrangement 1a is, in particular, not inclined. It can therefore be Fig.3 It can be particularly well recognized that the accessibility to the joining point can be particularly improved by the described inclination of the joining element 13 or its central axis 15 according to arrangement 1.
