Abstract

The rod (16) has an open profile (32), made of aluminium, and is closed off by an end plate. The gusset plates (38,44,46) are moulded in part to the plate (36) and rod (16) so that plates (44-46) complete a closed profile in conjunction with end plate. The profile formed by the plates tapers towards the cross strut (20), with plates (38-46) firmly joined by flanges (42), as is the end plate (38) to the profile by the flanges (34). Plates and/or cross struts are riveted to one another, as are the edges of plates and the strut. The end plate is also made of Al and is punch-riveted to the rod (16) and/or gusset plates (44,46). In addition, all connections should be bonded together in part. The strut is made of steel or as an extruded Al profile.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist im folgenden mit weiteren Einzel­ heiten näher erläutert. Die schematische Zeichnung zeigt inAn embodiment of the invention is in the following with further details explained in more detail. The schematic drawing shows in

Fig. 1 eine Radaufhängung für die Hinterräder eines Kraftfahrzeuges in Form einer Verbundlenkerachse mit zwei Längslenkern und einer Querstrebe und Fig. 1 is a wheel suspension for the rear wheels of a motor vehicle in the form of a torsion beam axle with two trailing arms and a cross strut and

Fig. 2 in raumbildlicher Darstellung die Verbindung eines der Längslenker und der Querstrebe gemäß Fig. 1 mittels eines kastenförmigen Kno­ tenbleches. Fig. 2 in spatial representation, the connection of one of the trailing arms and the cross strut according to FIG. 1 by means of a box-shaped Kno tenbleches.

In der Fig. 1 ist mit 10 eine Verbundlenkerachse für die Hinterräder 12, 14 eines Kraftfahrzeuges (nicht dargestellt) bezeichnet, die sich im wesentli­ chen aus zwei Längslenkern 16, 18 und einer diese verbindenden Quer­ strebe 20 zusammensetzt. Die Längslenker 16, 18 sind über nicht näher dar­ gestellte Lager 22, 24 an an der Karosserie des Kraftfahrzeuges befestigten Konsolen 26 schwenkbar gelagert. Über Aufnahmen 28, 30 sind nicht dar­ gestellte Federbeine an die Längslenker 16, 18 angeschlossen.In Fig. 1, 10 is a torsion beam axle for the rear wheels 12 , 14 of a motor vehicle (not shown), which is composed of two trailing arms 16 , 18 and a cross member 20 connecting these in essence. The trailing arms 16 , 18 are pivotally mounted via brackets 22 , 24 not shown in detail on brackets 26 attached to the body of the motor vehicle. Shock struts (not shown) are connected to the trailing arms 16 , 18 via receptacles 28 , 30 .

Die Längslenker 16, 18 (vgl. Fig. 2) weisen ein U-förmiges, offenes Profilteil 32 aus einer Aluminiumlegierung (oder Magnesiumlegierung) auf, deren Schenkel mit Flanschen 34 versehen sind. Das Profilteil 32, das ein Gußteil oder bevorzugt ein Schmiedeteil sein kann, ist in herstellungstechnischer günstiger Weise einstückig mit Anschlüssen und Verbindungen (nicht dar­ gestellt) für die Lageraufnahmen 22, 24, für die Lagerzapfen der Radlage­ rung der Räder 12, 14, mit Befestigungen für einen möglichen Stabilisator, mit Befestigungen für Stoßdämpfer oder Federbeine, sowie für Kleinteile wie Kabel, Schläuche etc. versehen.The trailing arms 16 , 18 (see FIG. 2) have a U-shaped, open profile part 32 made of an aluminum alloy (or magnesium alloy), the legs of which are provided with flanges 34 . The profile part 32 , which may be a cast part or preferably a forged part, is in one piece with connections and connections (not shown) for the bearing receptacles 22 , 24 , for the bearing pins of the wheel position of the wheels 12 , 14 , with fastenings for a possible stabilizer, with attachments for shock absorbers or struts, as well as for small parts such as cables, hoses, etc.

Das offene Profilteil 32 ist durch ein Schließblech 36 geschlossen, an das ebenfalls z. B. die Aufnahmen 28, 30 für die Federbeine und ggf. weitere Verbindungen unmittelbar angeformt sind. Das Schließblech 36 besteht ebenfalls aus einer hochfesten Aluminium oder Magnesiumlegierung.The open profile part 32 is closed by a striking plate 36 , to which z. B. the receptacles 28 , 30 for the struts and possibly other connections are formed directly. The striking plate 36 also consists of a high-strength aluminum or magnesium alloy.

An das Schließblech 36 ist ferner ein zu der U-förmigen Querstrebe 20 aus Stahlblech abragendes Knotenblech 38 angeformt, das stark verrundet (bei 40) in den sich in Längsrichtung erstreckenden Abschnitt des Schließ­ bleches 36 einläuft.On the striking plate 36 is also a to the U-shaped cross strut 20 made of sheet steel protruding gusset plate 38 , which is rounded (at 40) in the longitudinally extending portion of the striking plate 36 .

Das Knotenblech 38 ist über Flanschverbindungen 42 mit an die Längslen­ ker 16, 18 bzw. an die Profilteile 32 angeformten, seitlichen Knotenblechen 44, 46 und einem unteren, bodenförmigen Knotenblech 45 fest verbunden, wodurch ein geschlossenes Kastenprofil geschaffen ist, über das die Biege- und Torsionskräfte bzw. -momente zwischen Querstrebe 20 und Längslen­ ker 16, 18 zuverlässig übertragbar sind. Die seitlichen Knotenbleche verjün­ gen sich dabei wie auf der Zeichnung ersichtlich zur Querstrebe 20 hin und tragen durch entsprechend schrägverlaufende Flanschverbindungen 48 mit den frei abragenden Schenkeln 20a, 20b der Querstrebe 20 zu einem sanften Übergang von der wölbkraftbehafteten Querstrebe 20 zu den wölbkraftarmen Knotenblechen 38, 44, 45, 46 bzw. den durch diese gebildeten Torsionskasten bei. Das bodenförmige Knotenblech 45 verläuft entlang der eingezeichneten Kante 45a schräg nach oben, so daß sich das aus den Knotenblechen 38, 44, 45 und 46 zusammensetzende Kastenprofil zur Querstrebe 20 hin entsprechend verjüngt.The gusset plate 38 is firmly connected via flange connections 42 to the longitudinal links 16 , 18 or to the profile parts 32 , side gusset plates 44 , 46 and a lower, bottom-shaped gusset plate 45 , thereby creating a closed box profile, via which the bending and torsional forces or moments between the cross strut 20 and longitudinal link 16 , 18 are reliably transferable. Verjün the lateral gussets gene thereby as shown on the drawing can be seen to cross strut 20 to and borne by corresponding oblique flange 48 with the freely projecting legs 20 a, 20 20 b the cross beam to a gentle transition from the wölbkraftbehafteten cross strut 20 to the wölbkraftarmen gussets 38 , 44 , 45 , 46 and the torsion box formed by this. The bottom-shaped gusset plate 45 runs obliquely upwards along the drawn-in edge 45 a, so that the box profile composed of the gusset plates 38 , 44 , 45 and 46 tapers towards the cross strut 20 accordingly.

Die Verbindung zwischen dem Profilteil 32 bzw. den angeformten Flanschen 34 und dem Schließblech 36 bzw. den Knotenblechen 44, 46 erfolgt durch Aufbringen eines Klebstoffes vor dem Aneinanderfügen und anschließen­ dem Nieten. Die weniger hoch belasteten Nietverbindungen zwischen dem Profilteil 32 und dem Schließblech 36 erfolgen durch Stanznieten, bei dem in bekannter Weise Aluminiummaterial aus dem Schließblech 36 örtlich in das benachbarte Aluminiummaterial der Flansche 34 bzw. 42 (oder umgekehrt) in definierter Weise hineinverformt wird. Gesonderte Nieten sind bei diesem Verfahren nicht erforderlich. The connection between the profile part 32 or the integrally formed flanges 34 and the striking plate 36 or the gusset plates 44 , 46 takes place by applying an adhesive before joining and then riveting. The less highly stressed rivet connections between the profile part 32 and the striking plate 36 take place by punch riveting, in which aluminum material is deformed in a known manner from the striking plate 36 locally into the adjacent aluminum material of the flanges 34 or 42 (or vice versa) in a defined manner. Separate rivets are not necessary with this procedure.

Bei den Flanschverbindungen 48 und 50 hingegen werden separate hoch­ feste Nieten 52 verwendet, die sich durch die Querstrebe 20 aus Stahl und die Randbereiche der Knotenbleche 38, 44, 46 aus der verwendeten Alumini­ umlegierung erstrecken.In the flange connections 48 and 50, however, separate high-strength rivets 52 are used, which extend through the cross strut 20 made of steel and the edge regions of the gusset plates 38 , 44 , 46 made of the aluminum alloy used.

Anstelle von Nietverbindungen können zumindest an Befestigungsbe­ reichen, die leicht lösbar ausgeführt sein sollen, Schrauben verwendet sein.Instead of riveted connections can at least to fastening range that should be easy to remove, screws are used.

Anstelle der beschriebenen Querstrebe 20 aus U-förmigen Stahlblech kann auch eine Querstrebe mit auf die auftretenden Belastungen optimiertem Querschnittsprofil aus einem Leichtmetall-Strangguß- oder Strangpreßprofil verwendet sein, bei dem höherbelastete Profilabschnitte eine dickere Wandstärke als andere Profilabschnitte aufweisen können.Instead of the described cross strut 20 made of U-shaped sheet steel, a cross strut with a cross-sectional profile made of a light metal extrusion or extrusion profile that is optimized for the loads that occur can also be used, in which profile sections that are subjected to higher loads can have a thicker wall thickness than other profile sections.
