Fastening device for securing a component of a motor vehicle to a component, and motor vehicle with such a fastening device

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a fastening device for securing one of its components to a component.

[0002] It is known from the prior art to attach components of a motor vehicle, such as hoses or cables, to an air filter box, particularly in the engine compartment. The air filter box may, for example, comprise a removable cover that can be joined to the air filter box in a joining area.

[0003] Due to the very limited installation space in the engine compartment, the conventional fasteners are located in a joining area of ​​the air filter box, i.e., the area where the cover is placed on the air filter housing. With conventional fasteners, it can never be completely avoided that the cover is obstructed by the fastener during installation or that the fastener becomes wedged between the cover and the air filter housing.

[0004] Furthermore, the documents US 8 950 713 B2, US 2015 125235 A1, JP 4 689208 B2 and US 2005 098688 A1 are known from the prior art.

[0005] An object of an embodiment of the invention is to propose a motor vehicle with a fastening device for securing a component of the motor vehicle to a component, in which mounting and dismounting of a second component to a first component is simplified.

[0006] This object is achieved by a motor vehicle according to claim 1, with at least one first component, with a second component that can be arranged on the first component, with at least one flexibly bendable component and with a fastening device for fastening the component to the first component, wherein the fastening device (2) has: at least one fastening means that has a fastening section to which at least one flexibly bendable component, in particular a cable and / or a hose, can be fastened, with at least one receiving means that comprises a receiving section into which the fastening means can be inserted with a coupling section of the fastening means along a coupling direction and can be fastened therein, and which can be fastened or is fastened to an outer surface of the first component of the motor vehicle adjacent to a joining region of the first component,wherein the second component is movable along a joining direction in the direction of the first component and is fixable to the first component at the joining region, wherein the receiving portion of the receiving means and / or the coupling portion of the fixing means fixed to the receiving means project beyond the joining region at least in part, counter to the joining direction, and wherein the receiving portion of the receiving means is spaced from the outer surface of the first component by means of which the receiving portion and the fixing means fixed to the receiving portion are spaced from the second component arranged at the joining region - viewed transversely to the joining direction - at least by a gap, without contact.

[0007] Because the receiving portion of the receiving means is spaced from the outer surface of the first component at a distance by which the receiving portion and the securing means secured to the receiving portion are spaced from the component arranged at the joining area—viewed transversely to the joining direction—at least by a gap without contact, the second component can be mounted and dismounted on the first component without colliding with the securing means or the receiving portion of the receiving means. Furthermore, this prevents a region of the securing means or in a region of the receiving means from becoming trapped between the first component and the second component when mounting the second component on the first component.

[0008] The distance, which comprises at least one gap, is to be understood as being between the outer surfaces of the fixing means or the receiving portion which are closest to one another and the second component.

[0009] Embodiments of the fastening device are conceivable in which the receiving means and the first component comprise two separate components and / or in which the receiving means can be detachably or non-detachably fixed to the first component.

[0010] If the receiving device and the first component comprise two separate components, the receiving device can be easily retrofitted to existing first components. If the receiving device can be removably attached to the first component, it can be easily repaired or, when not needed, disassembled and reassembled when needed. If the receiving device can be permanently attached to the first component, it can be glued, welded, or soldered, for example.

[0011] The fastening device can be designed with reduced components and pre-assembled if the receiving means and the first component form a common one-piece component, in particular a common injection-molded part.

[0012] The coupling of the fixing means to the receiving means can be implemented in a technically simple manner if the receiving section of the receiving means comprises a continuous opening, in particular extending in the coupling direction, and / or if the coupling section of the fixing means comprises at least one elastically displaceable hook element extending obliquely to the coupling direction, which hook element is displaced by the edge of the opening when the fixing means is moved in the coupling direction transversely to the coupling direction and which, after overcoming the opening, is returned to an undeformed basic position and engages behind the opening of the receiving section opposite to the coupling direction.

[0013] In this case, the securing means can be guided through the opening, at least with its coupling section, and can be locked after passing through the opening due to the hook element being pretensioned into the undeformed basic position. Furthermore, in embodiments of the securing device, several hook elements are provided on the coupling section of the securing means, which are distributed at the same height with respect to the coupling direction. This allows for a uniform rear engagement in the coupled arrangement.

[0014] In a further development of the latter embodiment, it proves to be advantageous if the fixing means comprises at least one tensioning element by means of which the fixing means can be tensioned in a direction opposite to the coupling direction, at least in the arrangement coupled to the receiving section.

[0015] The tensioning element applies a tensioning force to the coupling section of the securing device in the coupled arrangement, counter to the coupling direction. At the same time, the elastically displaceable hook element, which forms a rear grip with the opening of the receiving section counter to the coupling direction, secures it against movement counter to the coupling direction. Both elements ensure a play-free arrangement of the securing device in the arrangement coupled to the receiving section.

[0016] In principle, it is conceivable for the opening to be formed solely by a receiving section designed as a frame element. The stability of the arrangement of the securing means on the receiving means can be increased if the receiving section comprises at least one receiving surface that surrounds the opening and runs transversely to the coupling direction.

[0017] In principle, the coupling direction can run in any direction. In one embodiment of the fastening device, the coupling direction runs obliquely or transversely to the joining direction.

[0018] In such a case, the fixing means is moved towards the first component and towards the second component during joining on the receiving means.

[0019] The functionality of the receiving means can be increased if the receiving means comprises at least one guide section which is fixed with a first end to an end of the receiving section projecting beyond the first component in the joining direction, which opens with a second end adjacent to the joining area on the first component and which comprises a straight or curved guide contour between the first end and the second end.

[0020] In this case, the receiving means also serves as a guide means. By forming a guide section, the second component can be supported by the receiving means when joining to the first component. This makes it easier to join the first component and the second component, especially in installation situations that are difficult to access.

[0021] In a further development of the latter embodiment, it proves to be advantageous if the guide section comprises a wall extending between the receiving surface and the first component and fixing the receiving surface to the first component, wherein the outer edge facing the second component comprises the guide contour.

[0022] If the guide section comprises a wall extending between the receiving surface and the component, the receiving surface can be spaced and held apart from the first component.

[0023] In particular, in a further embodiment of the latter embodiment, at least two guide sections running parallel or obliquely to one another are provided, which are each connected to the receiving surface at an outer edge of the receiving surface and which, together with the receiving surface and the first component, enclose a cavity which is accessible from the outside, in particular in and / or opposite to the joining direction.

[0024] This allows the absorption device to be made lighter and at the same time stable.

[0025] Furthermore, it proves to be advantageous if the fixing section of the fixing means comprises at least a first fixing area for a flexibly bendable first component, in particular a cable and / or a hose, and a second fixing area for a flexibly bendable second component, in particular a cable and / or a hose.

[0026] This allows the usability of the fastening device to be expanded and several components to be attached to one fastening device in a bundle.

[0027] The first component and the second component can, in principle, comprise any desired components of a motor vehicle. In one embodiment of the fastening device, the first component comprises an air filter box of a motor vehicle and / or the second component comprises a cover of the air filter box.

[0028] Finally, the object is achieved by a motor vehicle having at least one first component, having at least one second component that can be arranged on the first component, having at least one flexibly bendable component, and having at least one fastening device having at least one of the aforementioned features.

[0029] Further features, details and advantages of the invention emerge from the appended patent claims, from the drawings and the following description of a preferred embodiment of the fastening device.

[0030] The drawing shows: Figure 1A perspective front view of an embodiment of the fastening device; Figure 2A detailed view of a receiving means of the fastening device according to Figure 1 ; Figure 3A detailed view of a fixing means with a component of the fastening device arranged on the fixing means according to Figure 1 .

[0031] Figure 1shows a fastening device, generally designated by the reference numeral 2, for securing a component 4 of a motor vehicle (not explicitly shown in the figures) to a component 6. The fastening device 2 comprises a securing means 8 having a securing section 10 to which at least one flexibly bendable component 4 of the motor vehicle, in particular a cable and / or a hose, can be secured. Figure 1 and in Figure 3In the exemplary embodiment of the fixing means 8 shown, the fixing means 8 comprises, on its fixing section 10, a first fixing region 12 for a flexibly bendable first component 4 and a second fixing region 14 for a flexibly bendable second component 4. In addition, the fixing means 8 comprises a coupling section 16. This coupling section 16 of the fixing means 8 can be fixed to a receiving section 18 of a receiving means 20. The receiving section 18 of the receiving means 20 comprises an opening 22 into which the fixing means 8 can be inserted with its coupling section 16 along a coupling direction 24 and fixed therein.

[0032] In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, the coupling section 16 of the fastening means 8 comprises a plurality of hook elements 26 which, when the fastening means 8 is moved in the coupling direction 24 transversely to the coupling direction 24, are displaced by the edge of the opening 22 of the receiving section 18 of the receiving means 20 and which return to an undeformed basic position after overcoming the opening 22. In the undeformed basic position, the hook elements 26 form an undercut with the opening 22. Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, additional tensioning elements 28 are provided on the fastening means 8, by means of which tensioning elements 28 the fastening means 8, in the arrangement coupled to the receiving section 18, can be tensioned in a direction opposite to the coupling direction 24.

[0033] The receiving section 18 of the receiving means 20 comprises a receiving surface 30 which comprises the opening 22 and which runs transversely to the coupling direction 24.

[0034] In the exemplary embodiments shown in the figures, the receiving means 20 is fixed to a first component 6. In particular, the first component 6 and the receiving means 20 comprise a common, one-piece component. A second component 32 is movable along a joining direction 34 on the first component 6 toward the first component 6 and can be fixed to the first component 6 at a joining region 36.

[0035] The receiving section 18 of the receiving means 20 is designed such that it projects at least partially beyond the joining area 36 opposite to the joining direction 34. In order to prevent a collision when joining the second component 32 to the first component 6, the receiving section 18 of the receiving means 20 is spaced from the first component 6 at a distance such that the receiving section 18 and the securing means 8 secured to the receiving section 18 are spaced apart from the second component 32 arranged at the joining area 36, ​​viewed transversely to the joining direction 34, at least by a gap, without contact.

[0036] In the embodiment shown in the figures, the coupling direction 24 and the joining direction 34 run obliquely to each other.

[0037] To facilitate joining the second component 32 to the first component 6, the receiving means 20 comprises two extending guide sections 38, each of which is connected to the receiving surface 30 at an outer edge of the receiving surface 30 and which, together with the receiving surface 30 and the first component 6, enclose a common cavity. On the side of the guide sections 38 facing the second component 32, these guide sections comprise a guide contour 40 that extends in an arc from an end of the receiving section 18 projecting beyond the joining region 36 to the joining region 36 of the first component 6.
