Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Haltevorrichtung für ein an der Frontseite eines Kraftfahrzeugs angeordnetes Kühlmodul gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein mit einer derartigen Haltevorrichtung ausgestattetes Kraftfahrzeug.The present invention relates to a holding device for a arranged on the front side of a motor vehicle cooling module according to the preamble of
Durch die exponierte Einbaulage von Kühlmodulen in Sportwagen, bei welchen beispielsweise zwei Kühlmodule links und rechts vor den Vorderrädern platziert werden, kann es zu kostenträchtigen Beschädigungen im sogenannten AZT-Crash kommen. Bei diesen AZT-Crashs wird das in Bezug auf einen Vollkaskotarif einzustufende Kraftfahrzeug mit einer vordefinierten Geschwindigkeit gegen eine 40% überdeckende Barriere gefahren und die dabei entstehenden Reparaturaufwendungen ermittelt. Ergeben sich hierbei hohe Reparaturaufwendungen, resultieren daraus auch hohe Versicherungsbeiträge und dadurch hohe Unterhaltskosten. Betrachtet man die beim AZT-Crash entstehenden Reparaturaufwendungen genauer, stellt man fest, dass es überwiegend Rohbauinstandsetzungsarbeiten sind, die sich kostentreibend auswirken. Das beschädigte Kühlmodul hingegen ist dabei weniger von Belang. Es ist daher anzustreben, das Kühlmodul so am Rohbau zu befestigen, das dieser nicht oder zumindest nicht stark und dadurch reparaturaufwändig beschädigt wird.Due to the exposed mounting position of cooling modules in sports cars, in which, for example, two cooling modules are placed left and right in front of the front wheels, costly damage can occur in the so-called AZT crash. In these AZT crashes, the motor vehicle to be classified in terms of a full insurance rate is driven at a predefined speed against a 40% covering barrier and the resulting repair costs are determined. If this results in high repair costs, this also results in high insurance premiums and thus high maintenance costs. Looking more closely at the repair costs associated with the AZT crash, it can be seen that it is predominantly bodywork repair work that has a cost-bearing effect. By contrast, the damaged cooling module is less of a concern. It is therefore desirable to attach the cooling module to the shell, this is not damaged or at least not strong and thereby repairing.

Die vorliegende Erfindung beschäftigt sich mit dem Problem, für eine Haltevorrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art eine verbesserte oder zumindest eine alternative Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich insbesondere für Kühlmodule bei Sportwagen eignet.The present invention is concerned with the problem of providing for a holding device of the generic type an improved or at least one alternative embodiment, which is particularly suitable for cooling modules in sports cars.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Gegenstände der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matters of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die vorliegende Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken, eine Haltevorrichtung für ein an der Frontseite eines Kraftfahrzeugs angeordnetes Kühlmodul in der Art einer Kulissenführung auszubilden, die bei einem Frontaufprall ein Verschwenken des Kühlmoduls um eine Fahrzeughochachse sowie ein nach hinten Verstellen desselben ermöglicht. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Haltevorrichtung wird somit das Kühlmodul nicht nur einfach nach hinten verschoben, sondern zusätzlich verschwenkt, wodurch ein bisher aufgrund von lüftungstechnischen Erfordernissen zwischen dem Kühlmodul und einer dahinter angeordneten Konsole bzw. Lüfterzarge vorhandener Raum zum energieabsorbierenden Verstellen des Kühlmoduls genutzt werden kann. Von besonderem Vorteil bei der erfindungsgemäßen Haltevorrichtung ist zudem, dass bei einem Frontalaufprall zunächst das Kühlmodul energieabsorbierend verstell-/verschwenkt wird und erst danach Kräfte an eine Rohbaustruktur des Kraftfahrzeuges übertragen werden, wodurch kostenintensive Rohbauinstandsetzungsarbeiten vermieden werden können. Dies führt insbesondere zu günstigen Ergebnissen beim sogenannten AZT-Crash und dadurch zu einer günstigen Kaskoeinstufung, die wiederum maßgeblich für niedrige Unterhaltskosten verantwortlich ist. Von wesentlichem Vorteil bei der erfindungsgemäßen Haltevorrichtung dürfte zudem sein, dass diese insbesondere bei Sportwagen, bei welchen die Kühlmodule jeweils in Fahrtrichtung gesehen vor den Vorderrädern positioniert sind, eingesetzt werden können. Dieser Bereich ist beim sogenannten AZT-Test, das heißt bei einer 40% Überdeckung einer anzufahrenden Barriere, besonders crashgefährdet.The present invention is based on the general idea to design a holding device for a arranged on the front side of a motor vehicle cooling module in the manner of a slotted guide, which allows the same in a frontal impact, a pivoting of the cooling module to a vehicle vertical axis and a rearward adjustment. In the holding device according to the invention, therefore, the cooling module is not simply moved backwards, but additionally pivoted, whereby a previously existing due to ventilation requirements between the cooling module and a console or fan frame behind it located space for energy absorbing adjustment of the cooling module can be used. Of particular advantage in the holding device according to the invention is also that in a frontal impact first the cooling module is energy-absorbing verstell- / pivoted and only then forces are transmitted to a shell structure of the motor vehicle, which costly shell repair work can be avoided. This leads in particular to favorable results in the so-called AZT crash and thus to a favorable cascading, which in turn is largely responsible for low maintenance costs. Of considerable advantage in the holding device according to the invention should also be that these can be used in particular in sports cars, in which the cooling modules are each positioned in front of the front wheels seen in the direction of travel. In the so-called AZT test, ie with a 40% overlap of a barrier to be approached, this area is particularly prone to crashes.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung, weist die Haltevorrichtung einen oberen Träger und/oder einen unteren Träger mit jeweils zumindest zwei Langlöchern auf, wobei das Kühlmodul über zugehörige Zapfen in diesen Langlöchern geführt ist. Über die Ausrichtung der Langlöcher wird somit eine Verstellbewegung des Kühlmoduls im Crashfall vorgegeben, so dass die Langlöcher die eigentliche Kulissenführung bilden. Durch die Anordnung und Ausbildung der Langlöcher kann der bisher zwischen dem Kühlmodul und der Konsole/Lüfterzarge bestehende Spalt durch die erzwungene Verstellbewegung geschlossen werden. Dieser zwischen dem Kühlmodul und der Lüfterzarge bzw. Konsole bestehende Spalt beträgt üblicherweise 20 bis 25 mm und ist aus funktionalen Gründen, insbesondere aufgrund der großflächigen Nabe des Lüfterrades, vorgesehen, um die aus dem Kühlmodul strömende Luft nicht über die Nabe des Lüfterrades anzustauen.In an advantageous development of the solution according to the invention, the holding device has an upper carrier and / or a lower carrier, each with at least two oblong holes, wherein the cooling module is guided via associated pins in these oblong holes. On the orientation of the slots thus an adjustment of the cooling module is set in the event of a crash, so that the slots form the actual slotted guide. Due to the arrangement and training of Long holes can be closed by the forced adjustment of the existing gap between the cooling module and the console / fan cowl. This existing between the cooling module and the fan cowl or console gap is usually 20 to 25 mm and is for functional reasons, in particular due to the large-scale hub of the fan, provided to not flow the flowing air from the cooling module via the hub of the fan.
Weitere wichtige Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen, aus den Zeichnungen und aus der zugehörigen Figurenbeschreibung anhand der Zeichnungen.Other important features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, from the drawings and from the associated figure description with reference to the drawings.
Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und die nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen oder in Alleinstellung verwendbar sind, ohne den Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung zu verlassen.It is understood that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the particular combination given, but also in other combinations or in isolation, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
