[0001] Fixing device and method for fixing a component
[0002] The present invention relates to a fixing device for fixing a component and a method for fixing a component.
[0003] Devices for fixing components are known from the state of the art, where secure fixing of the component is not always ensured due to tolerances.
[0004] The present invention is based on the object of providing a fixing device for fixing a component, which enables a secure fixing of the component and has a simple structural design.
[0005] This object is achieved according to the invention by a fixing device for fixing a component, which comprises a base body on which at least one fixing section is provided for receiving the component, wherein the fixing section has at least one fixing element which can be inserted into a passage provided on the component and is deformable at least in sections for fixing the component in the passage, wherein the fixing element is in engagement with at least one depression provided on the component and / or with at least one projection provided on the component as a result of the deformation.
[0006] The base body can be any component to which the component is to be fixed. For example, a housing element, a wall element, a structural element, or the like.
[0007] Preferably, the base body may be a component of a motor vehicle, for example a body element, a trim element, an electronic device, a battery unit, for example a battery housing component, or the like.
[0008] The fastening section can be formed by a contact surface on the base body. For arranging the component on the fastening section, the contact surface can be either flat or have a structure, for example, for positioning the component.
[0009] The fastening section on the base body comprises one or more fixing elements, which preferably extend away from the base body in a pin-like manner.
[0010] In particular, the at least one fixing element is arranged orthogonally to the fastening section, for example the contact surface for the component to be fixed.
[0011] Preferably, the at least one fixing element is designed as a pin-shaped fixing element.
[0012] The at least one fixing element advantageously extends away from the base body so that a free end section is formed.
[0013] As a result, the component can be arranged on the fastening section in such a way that the at least one fixing element is inserted into the passage on the component.
[0014] In this case, the at least one fixing element extends in particular through the passage on the component, so that the free end section of the at least one fixing element protrudes relative to the component.
[0015] By the at least one fixing element engaging in the at least one recess and / or engaging the at least one projection by deformation, a stationary fixing of the component relative to the base body can be achieved.
[0016] A preferred development of the fixing device can provide that the at least one fixing element is plastically formed into the at least one recess by the deformation and / or is plastically formed onto the at least one projection.
[0017] By deforming the at least one fixing element, a plastic deformation of the fixing element occurs, in particular, at least in sections. The deformation is particularly intended for the plastically deformed material of the at least one fixing element to engage the at least one recess and / or engage the at least one projection.
[0018] Thus, by deforming, a toothing can be formed between the at least one fixing element and the component, by means of which the fixing of the component is provided.
[0019] It can be particularly advantageous if at least one recess, into which the at least one fixing element can be plastically formed by the deformation, as well as at least one projection, onto which the at least one fixing element can be plastically formed by the deformation, are provided on the component.
[0020] An advantageous embodiment of the fixing device can provide that by engaging and / or engaging the at least one deformed fixing element in the at least one recess and / or on the at least one projection, a positional fixing of the component in at least two spatial directions, in particular three spatial directions, and / or a rotational locking of the component is formed.
[0021] By deforming the at least one fixing element and engaging in the at least one recess and / or engaging the at least one projection, the component can be locked relative to the base body, in particular fixed in position in the X-direction, Y-direction and Z-direction.
[0022] In addition, the component can be locked with respect to a rotation relative to the base body by the deformation of the at least one fixing element and the engagement in the at least one recess and / or engagement with the at least one projection, in particular a rotation about a longitudinal axis of the at least one fixing element.
[0023] A configuration of the fixing device can also provide that the at least one recess and / or the at least one projection is provided on an inner wall section of the passage and / or on a wall section of the component adjacent to the passage. The inner wall section of the passage is, in particular, a peripheral wall delimiting the passage.
[0024] The wall section of the component adjacent to the passage is in particular a wall section of the component facing away from the base body.
[0025] The wall section of the component adjacent to the passage may preferably be a wall section of the component surrounding or delimiting the passage.
[0026] For example, the wall section adjacent to the passage can surround the passage in a ring.
[0027] In a further development of the fixing device, the at least one depression can be designed as a molding, deformation, groove, flute, notch, grain, hole, blind hole, bore, recess, cutout, structured surface and / or the like.
[0028] In particular, the at least one recess is not limited to the previously mentioned configurations, but rather it can be a recess of any configuration which is designed such that the at least one fixing element can be formed into it by deformation in order to fix the component relative to the base body.
[0029] A further development of the fixing device can also provide that the at least one projection is designed as a formation, deformation, elevation, corrugation, ridge, wedge, pin, lip, structured surface and / or the like.
[0030] In particular, the at least one projection is not limited to the previously mentioned configurations, but rather it can be a projection of any configuration which is designed such that the at least one fixing element can be formed thereon by deformation in order to fix the component relative to the base body.
[0031] In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the fixing device, several
[0032] Recesses and / or a plurality of projections may be provided on the component, with which the at least partially deformed fixing element engages to fix the component.
[0033] By deforming the at least one fixing element into several recesses and / or engaging several projections, a particularly secure fixation of the component in several spatial directions can be achieved. Such a fixing device can, for example, withstand greater loads on the component.
[0034] A further development of the fixing device can provide that the plurality of recesses and / or plurality of projections are provided at a distance from one another on the inner wall section of the passage and / or on a wall section of the component surrounding the passage.
[0035] In particular, the plurality of recesses and / or plurality of projections on the inner wall portion of the passage may be provided spaced apart from one another along a circumference and / or a passage direction.
[0036] Likewise preferably, the plurality of recesses and / or plurality of projections can be provided at a distance from one another on the wall section of the component surrounding the passage.
[0037] The plurality of recesses and / or the plurality of projections can be formed both symmetrically and asymmetrically on the inner wall section of the passage and / or on the wall section of the component surrounding the passage.
[0038] In one embodiment of the fixing device, the plurality of recesses and / or the plurality of projections can form a passage cross-section of the passage provided on the component, which has an inner multi-round profile and / or inner polygonal profile.
[0039] Such an internal multi-round profile and / or internal polygonal profile can form a passage having a substantially star-shaped, polygonal, and / or polygonal star-shaped cross-section. Such a cross-section of the passage can enable particularly resilient fixation of the component by deforming the at least one fixing element.
[0040] In addition, such a passage cross-section of the passage can be formed by a simple manufacturing process, whereby a cost-effective production of the fixing device can be achieved.
[0041] Advantageously, in the fixing device, the at least one fixing element for fixing the component can be hot-formable.
[0042] In particular, the at least one fixing element can be hot-stamped to fix the component.
[0043] During hot forming, in particular hot caulking, of the at least one fixing element, it is preferably provided that a heated punch of a processing tool acts on the fixing element in order to heat it by the action of temperature, preferably to melt it, and to deform it by the action of force.
[0044] In this way, the molten material of the at least one fixing element can be plastically formed into the at least one recess and / or plastically formed onto the at least one projection under the action of force from the stamp.
[0045] Advantageously, an extended head region can be formed on a free end portion of the at least one fixing element, ie on an end portion of the fixing element opposite the base body.
[0046] Such an extended head region on the fixing element can, for example, serve as a material reservoir, so that sufficient material is available for deforming the fixing element, which material can be molded into the at least one recess and / or molded onto the at least one projection. Preferably, in one embodiment of the fixing device, the at least one fixing element can be formed at least partially from a plastic material or a metallic material.
[0047] By forming the at least one fixing element from a plastic material, a particularly simple hot forming of the at least one fixing element can be achieved due to the low melting point of the plastic material.
[0048] In addition, the use of a plastic material can result in a cost-optimized design of the fixing device.
[0049] If the at least one fixing element is made of a metallic material, it preferably has a low melting point. For example, the at least one fixing element can be made of a light metal, in particular aluminum.
[0050] Advantageously, the base body and the at least one fixing element can be formed as an integral component and preferably formed integrally from a plastic material or from a metallic material.
[0051] An embodiment of the fixing device can also provide that the component is designed as a vehicle component.
[0052] However, the component is not limited to such a vehicle component; rather, the component can form any component of a technical device.
[0053] In particular, the component can be designed as a busbar, an electronic component, a fastening device, a holder, a clamp and / or the like.
[0054] The invention is also based on the object of providing a method for fixing a component which enables secure fixing of the component and is easy to implement. This object is achieved by a method for fixing a component, in particular with a fixing device according to one of the previously described embodiments, comprising the steps of: arranging a component to be fixed on a fastening section of a base body by inserting at least one fixing element of the fastening section into at least one passage on the component, deforming, in particular hot-forming, the at least one fixing element, and fixing the component by plastically forming the at least one deformed, in particular hot-formed, fixing element into at least one recess provided on the component and / or plastically forming it onto at least one projection provided on the component.
[0055] The hot forming process results in, in particular, at least partial plastic deformation of the fixing element, during which the fixing element is at least partially melted.
[0056] In particular, the plastic deformation of the at least one fixing element is achieved by hot calking, in which a heated die of a tool acts on the at least one fixing element. As a result, the at least one fixing element is at least partially melted and, by the application of force, plastically formed into the at least one recess and / or molded onto the at least one projection.
[0057] In this way, the deformation creates a toothing between the at least one fixing element and the component, by means of which the component is fixed in position relative to the base body.
[0058] In a further development of the method, it can be provided that by plastically forming the fixing element into the at least one recess and / or by plastically forming the fixing element onto the at least one projection, a positional fixation of the component in at least two spatial directions, in particular three spatial directions, and / or a rotational lock of the component is formed.
[0059] In particular, by plastically forming the fixing element into the at least one recess and / or by plastically forming the fixing element onto the at least one projection, a stationary fixation of the component in the X-direction, Y-direction and Z-direction can be formed.
[0060] Advantageously, by plastically forming the fixing element into the at least one recess and / or by plastically forming the fixing element onto the at least one projection, a rotation of the component relative to the base body, in particular a rotation about a longitudinal axis of the at least one fixing element, can also be locked.

[0070] Fig. 1 shows a schematic perspective view of a fixing device, designated as a whole by 100, according to an embodiment according to the disclosure.
[0071] The fixing device 100 is provided to fix a component 102 to a base body 104.
[0072] Fig. 1 shows the fixing device 100 in an initial state in which the component 102 is arranged on the base body 104 and is not yet fixed to the base body 104.
[0073] The base body 104 can form any component to which the component 102 is to be fixed. For example, the base body 104 can be a housing element, a wall element, a structural element, or the like.
[0074] Preferably, the base body 104 can form any component of a motor vehicle, for example a body element, a trim element, a structural element, an electronic device, a battery unit or the like of the motor vehicle.
[0075] The component 102 can also form any component that is to be fixed to the base body 104. For example, the component 102 can be an electronic component, a fastening device, a holder, a clamp, and / or the like.
[0076] In particular, the component 102 can be designed as a busbar.
[0077] Preferably, the component 102 can form a vehicle component of a motor vehicle.
[0078] The fixation of the component 102 can be either a permanent fixation or a temporary fixation to the base body 104. A fastening section 106 is formed on the base body 104, on which the component 102 is arranged for fixation.
[0079] The fastening section 106 comprises a contact surface 108 on the base body 104 and a fixing element 110.
[0080] Likewise, the fastening section 106 can comprise a plurality of fixing elements 110, for example two, three or more fixing elements 110.
[0081] The fixing element 110 extends in a pin-like manner from the contact surface 108 of the fastening section 106 away from the base body 104.
[0082] In particular, the fixing element 110 extends substantially orthogonally from the contact surface 108 of the fastening section 106 away from the base body 104.
[0083] The fixing element 110 has a free end portion 112 opposite the base body 104.
[0084] An expanding head region can be formed on the end portion 112 of the fixing element 110.
[0085] The fixing element 110 is preferably made of a plastic material, for example a thermoplastic, or of a metallic material, for example a light metal, in particular aluminum.
[0086] The base body 104 and the fixing element 110 are preferably designed integrally with each other, ie the fixing element 110 can be formed from the base body 104 or formed onto it.
[0087] A passage 114 is formed on the component 102.
[0088] The passage 114 extends through the component 102, in particular from a wall section of the component 102 facing the base body 104 to a wall section 116 of the component 102 opposite the base body 104. Several such passages 114 can also be formed on the base body 102, so that a fixing element 110 can be inserted into each passage 114.
[0089] To fix the component 102, the component 102 is arranged on the fastening section 106 in such a way that the fixing element 110 is guided into the passage 114 on the component 102, as shown in Fig. 1.
[0090] It is preferably provided that an inner diameter of the passage 114 is larger than an outer diameter of the fixing element 110, in particular in such a way that a gap is formed between the fixing element 110 and an inner wall of the passage 114.
[0091] The fixing element 110 has a length at which the free end portion 112 of the fixing element 110 protrudes relative to the component 102 when the fixing element 110 is guided through the passage 114.
[0092] In particular, the fixing element 110 protrudes relative to a wall section 116 of the component 102 surrounding the passage 114 when the fixing element 110 is guided through the passage 114.
[0093] A plurality of recesses 118 are provided on the wall section 116 of the component 102 surrounding the passage 114.
[0094] These recesses 118 can be formed as pointed, conical or pyramid-shaped indentations.
[0095] The recesses 118 thereby form a structured surface which is formed on the wall section 116, in particular surrounding the passage 114.
[0096] However, the recesses 118 are not limited to the illustrated embodiment; rather, they can have any desired configuration, for example, in the form of deformations on the component 102, grooves, flutes, notches, grains, holes, in particular blind holes, bores, recesses, cutouts, and / or the like. The recesses 118 are arranged at a distance from one another on the wall section 116 of the component 102 surrounding the passage 114.
[0097] The recesses 118 can be formed both in a symmetrical arrangement and in a free arrangement on the wall section 116 of the component 102.
[0098] The fixing device 100 is not limited to the design of such recesses 118. Alternatively to the recesses 118, or in addition to the recesses 118, projections 120 may also be formed on the component 102, which, for example, protrude from the wall section 116 of the component 102 surrounding the passage 114.
[0099] Such projections 120 can, for example, be formed as pointed, conical or pyramid-shaped formations on the component 102.
[0100] The projections 120 can thereby form a structured surface which is formed on the wall section 116, in particular surrounding the passage 114.
[0101] However, the projections 120 are not limited to such an embodiment, but rather they can have any desired configuration, for example in the form of deformations on the component 102, elevations, corrugations, ridges, wedges, pins, lips and / or the like.
[0102] To fix the component 102, the fixing element 110 inserted into the passage 114 is deformable, as shown in Fig. 2.
[0103] By deforming the fixing element 110, it is provided that the fixing element 110, in particular the free end portion 112 of the fixing element 110, is plastically deformed and in this way is formed into the recesses 118.
[0104] The deformed fixing element 110 is thereby brought into engagement with the recesses 118 provided on the component 102 to form a type of interlocking between the component 102 and the base body 104. By molding the fixing element 110 into the recesses 118, a stationary fixation of the component 102 relative to the base body 104 is achieved.
[0105] If, instead of the recesses 118 or in addition to the recesses 118, projections 120 are formed on the wall section 116 of the component 102 surrounding the passage 114, the fixing element 110 is plastically formed onto these projections 120 by the deformation and in this way a toothing is formed between the component 102 and the base body 104.
[0106] By deforming and engaging the fixing element 110 in the recesses 118, a positional fixing of the component 102 relative to the base body 104 is achieved, in which the component 102 is positionally fixed in particular in an X-direction, Y-direction and Z-direction.
[0107] In addition, the component 102 can be secured against rotation relative to the base body 104 by the deformation and engagement of the fixing element 110 in the recesses 118, ie can be locked with respect to rotation about a longitudinal axis of the fixing element 110.
[0108] The deformation of the fixing element 110 is preferably carried out by hot forming, in particular hot caulking, with the aid of a processing tool not shown in detail.
[0109] During such hot forming, in particular hot staking, a heated punch of the machining tool exerts a force on the fixing element 110, so that the fixing element 110 is heated, preferably at least partially melted, due to the temperature effect of the heated punch, and plastically deformed by the force. As a result, the molten material of the fixing element 110 is plastically formed into the recesses 118 and solidifies after cooling.
[0110] For this purpose, the extended head region can be formed on the free end portion 112 of the fixing element 110, so that sufficient material is available for deforming the fixing element 110, which is molded into the recesses 118 to fix the component 102. Alternative embodiments of the fixing device 100 are shown in Figs. 3 to 6. The figures each show detailed views of the component 102, with Fig. 3 showing a perspective view and Figs. 4 to 6 showing plan views of the passage 114.
[0111] In the embodiment according to Fig. 3, the recesses 118 in the wall section 116 surrounding the passage 114 are arranged in a circle around the passage 114.
[0112] Preferably, the recesses 118 are formed in the wall portion 116 of the component 102 at equal distances from one another around the passage 114.
[0113] The recesses 118 are designed as round indentations, but can have any desired configuration in the manner described above or can also be designed as correspondingly designed projections 120.
[0114] In the illustrated embodiment, eight recesses 118 are arranged in a circle around the passage 114 in the wall section 116 surrounding the passage 114.
[0115] The recesses 118 are each formed at an angular offset of 45° to one another around the passage 114 in the wall section 116 of the component 102.
[0116] It is understood that any desired number of recesses 118 can also be formed around the passage 114 in the wall section 116 of the component 102. These recesses can be arranged at equal spacing, i.e., at a defined angular offset, from one another, or they can be arranged freely.
[0117] In the embodiment according to Fig. 4, six recesses 118 and six projections 120 are formed on an inner wall section 122 of the passage 114.
[0118] The recesses 118 and projections 120 extend on the inner wall section 122, in particular along a passage direction of the passage 114. The recesses 118 are arranged spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction and extend essentially in a groove-like manner along the passage direction of the passage 114, so that the projections 120 are formed therebetween.
[0119] This embodiment of the fixing device 100 is not limited to the illustrated embodiment with six recesses 118 and six projections 120 on the inner wall section 122 of the passage 114, but rather it can have any number of recesses 118 and projections 120 on the inner wall section 122.
[0120] The recesses 118 and projections 120 formed in this way form a passage cross-section of the passage 114 with an inner multi-round profile 124.
[0121] In other words, the recesses 118 and projections 120 can form a star-shaped passage cross-section of the passage 114.
[0122] Alternatively, it may also be provided that recesses 118 and / or projections 120 are provided circumferentially distributed at points on the inner wall section 122 of the passage 114.
[0123] In this embodiment of the fixing device 100, the fixing element 110 is formed by deformation into the recesses 118 formed on the inner wall section 122 of the passage 114 and is formed onto the projections 120 in order to fix the component 102 in the X, Y and Z directions and / or to prevent rotation relative to the base body 104.
[0124] Fig. 5 shows a further embodiment of the fixing device 100, which essentially corresponds to the embodiment according to Fig. 4, wherein the recesses 118 and the projections 120 on the inner wall section 122 of the passage 114 are formed with a different, in particular with a larger, rounding radius.
[0125] Fig. 6 shows a further embodiment of the fixing device 100, in which the passage cross-section of the passage 114 has a substantially polygonal shape, exemplified in Fig. 6 by a substantially hexagonal passage cross-section. An internal polygonal profile 126 is formed by such a substantially polygonal passage cross-section of the passage 114.
[0126] At the respective corners of the inner polygonal profile 126 of the passage 114, recesses 118 are formed which extend in a groove-like manner along the passage direction of the passage 114.
[0127] The groove-shaped recesses 118 can be formed with a rounded groove base, as shown in Fig. 6, as well as with a flat groove base.
[0128] It is understood that the exemplary fixing devices 100 can also be designed as combinations of the previously described embodiments. That is, the fixing device 100 can have both the recesses 118 and / or projections 120 provided on the wall section 116 surrounding the passage 114, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, and the recesses 118 and / or projections 120 formed on the inner wall section 122 of the passage 114, as shown in Figs. 4 to 6.
