Abstract

The cross member has a shell-type construction with inner and outer flanges(2), with at least one of the flanges having expansion creases(4) extending in the vertical direction. The creases are distributed over the length of the inner flange and arranged in groups. Several creases in one group lie with a small spacing in relation to each other.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Querträger für einen Stoßfänger eines Kraftfahrzeuges nach der im Oberbe­ griff von Anspruch 1 näher definierten Art.The invention relates to a cross member for a Bumper of a motor vehicle according to the one in the Oberbe handle of claim 1 defined in more detail.

Querträger aus profilierten Blechteilen in Schalenbau­ weise oder aus Strangpreßprofilen aus einer Aluminium­ legierung sind aus der Praxis bekannt. Bei einem Un­ fall unterliegen Querträger einer starken Belastung. Sie sollen sich in einem derartigen Fall in einem aus­ reichenden Umfang verformen können und zwar ohne daß es zu Brüchen oder Rissen kommt. Dies ist bei Verwen­ dung von Stahl unproblematisch. Die Praxis hat jedoch gezeigt, daß sich bei Querträgern, die aus einer Alu­ miniumlegierung bestehen, aufgrund der geringen Deh­ nung von Aluminium Risse und Brüche einstellen können, was jedoch möglichst vermieden werden soll.Cross member made of profiled sheet metal parts in shell construction wise or from extruded aluminum profiles alloys are known from practice. At an Un cross beams are subject to heavy loads. In such a case, you should look for one can deform sufficient scope without there are breaks or tears. This is with us steel without problems. However, practice has shown that cross members made of an aluminum Mini alloy exist due to the low Deh aluminum can set cracks and breaks, but what should be avoided if possible.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Querträger der eingangs erwähnten Art schaffen, der unter Beibehaltung der Vorteile durch die Verwendung einer Aluminiumlegierung dessen Nach­ teile nicht aufweist, insbesondere bei dem es bei ei­ ner Überbeanspruchung, wie z. B. bei einem Unfall, nicht zu Rissen oder Brüchen kommt.The present invention is therefore based on the object based on a cross member of the type mentioned create that while maintaining the benefits through  the use of an aluminum alloy afterwards parts does not have, especially in the case of egg ner overuse, such as B. in an accident, there are no cracks or breaks.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die im kenn­ zeichnenden Teil von Anspruch 1 genannten Merkmale gelöst.According to the invention, this task is characterized by the drawing part of claim 1 mentioned features solved.

Durch die erfindungsgemäßen Dehnsicken in einem Gurt läßt sich das geringe Dehnverhalten einer Aluminiumle­ gierung kompensieren. Im Falle einer Überbeanspru­ chung, wie z. B. einem Unfall und einer daraus resul­ tierenden Verformung des Querträgers, insbesondere einer Dehnung bzw. eines Zuges auf einen Gurt, kann durch die sich dabei "streckenden" Dehnsicken eine entsprechende Längung des Gurtes erreicht werden, so daß es nicht zu einem Reißen kommt. Dabei hat sich herausgestellt, daß eine Einbringung von Dehnsicken in den inneren, dem Fahrzeug näher liegenden Gurt beson­ ders vorteilhaft ist, da dieser Gurt bei einem Unfall als Zugband einer entsprechenden Dehnung unterliegt. Die notwendige Längung des Gurtes kann insbesondere dann optimal erreicht werden, wenn die Dehnsicken we­ nigstens annähernd in vertikaler Richtung verlaufen.Due to the expansion beads according to the invention in a belt the low elongation behavior of an aluminum oil compensate for yaw. In case of overuse chung, such as B. an accident and one of them Tender deformation of the cross member, in particular an elongation or a tension on a belt due to the "stretching" stretching beads appropriate elongation of the belt can be achieved, so that there is no tearing. It did found that an introduction of expansion beads in the inner belt closer to the vehicle ders advantageous because this belt in an accident as a drawstring is subject to a corresponding stretch. The necessary lengthening of the belt can in particular can be optimally achieved if the expansion beads we at least approximately in the vertical direction.

Grundsätzlich ist die Verwendung von Sicken auch im Kraftfahrzeugbau bereits bekannt, allerdings an ande­ ren Stellen und zu einem anderen Zweck. So zeigt und beschreibt die DE 38 15 510 C2 einen Querträger, der sowohl mit den Stirnseiten von Längsträgern als auch mit einem Bodenblech verbunden ist. In dem Bodenblech ist mindestens eine Entkoppelungssicke vorgesehen, die parallel zum Querträger mit geringem Abstand zu diesem verläuft. Durch die Sicke sollen die Bereiche des Ein­ knickens bei einem Aufprall festgelegt werden. Sie stellt praktisch eine Falzsicke dar, durch die eine Soll-Knickstelle geschaffen wird.Basically, the use of beads is also in Motor vehicle construction already known, but to others positions and for another purpose. So shows and DE 38 15 510 C2 describes a cross member both with the end faces of side members as well is connected to a floor panel. In the floor pan at least one decoupling bead is provided, which parallel to the cross member at a short distance from it  runs. Through the bead the areas of the one buckling in the event of an impact. she practically represents a fold bead through which one Target kink is created.

Den gleichen Zweck erfüllen auch Sicken im Rahmen ei­ nes Fahrzeuges nach der DE 33 06 477 A1.Beads in the frame of egg serve the same purpose nes vehicle according to DE 33 06 477 A1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und aus dem nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung prinzipmäßig beschriebenen Aus­ führungsbeispiel.Advantageous refinements of the invention result itself from the subclaims and from the following from the principle described with reference to the drawing leadership example.

Es zeigt:It shows:

Fig. 1 ausschnittsweise eine perspektivische Darstel­ lung eines Querträgers, und Fig. 1 shows a detail of a perspective presen- tation of a cross member, and

Fig. 2 einen Schnitt nach der Linie II-II der Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows a section along the line II-II in FIG. 1.

In den Endbereichen eines Kraftfahrzeuges ist jeweils ein Querträger 1 angeordnet, der mit seitlichen Längs­ trägern verbunden ist. An dem Querträger 1 wird in nicht dargestellter Weise ein Stoßfänger befestigt. Der Querträger 1 besteht aus profilierten Blech- oder Strangpreßprofilen mit einem inneren Gurt 2, der dem Fahrzeug zugewandt ist, einem äußeren Gurt 3 und nicht dargestellten Querteilen zur Verbindung der beiden Gurte 2 und 3. Die Blechteile bzw. Strangpreßprofile bestehen aus einer Aluminiumlegierung. Der innere Gurt 2, der ein Zugband bildet, ist mit mehreren in verti­ kaler Richtung verlaufenden Dehnsicken 4 versehen. Die Dehnsicken 4 können über die Länge des Querträgers verteilt in mehreren Gruppen mit jeweils z. B. drei Dehnsicken 4 (wie dargestellt) angeordnet sein, wobei die Dehnsicken 4 einer Gruppe mit geringem Abstand parallel zueinander liegen.In the end regions of a motor vehicle, a cross member 1 is arranged, which is connected to side longitudinal beams. A bumper is attached to the cross member 1 in a manner not shown. The cross member 1 consists of profiled sheet metal or extruded profiles with an inner belt 2 , which faces the vehicle, an outer belt 3 and cross members, not shown, for connecting the two belts 2 and 3 . The sheet metal parts or extruded profiles consist of an aluminum alloy. The inner belt 2 , which forms a drawstring, is provided with a plurality of expansion beads 4 extending in the vertical direction. The expansion beads 4 can be distributed over the length of the cross member in several groups, each with z. B. three expansion beads 4 (as shown) may be arranged, the expansion beads 4 of a group with a small distance parallel to each other.

Die Dehnsicken 4 an dem inneren Gurt 2 wird man im allgemeinen an einem besonders kritischen Bereich vor­ sehen. Dies ist z. B. der Bereich des Querträgers 1 zwischen den beiden Längsträgern.The expansion beads 4 on the inner belt 2 will generally be seen in a particularly critical area. This is e.g. B. the area of the cross member 1 between the two side members.

Grundsätzlich können Dehnsicken 4 auch am äußeren Gurt 3 und gegebenenfalls auch an den Querteilen vorgesehen sein, aber im allgemeinen wird es ausreichend sein, wenn die Dehnsicken 4 in einer entsprechenden Anzahl über die Länge des inneren Gurtes 2 verteilt angeord­ net sind. Bei einem Aufprall aus Pfeilrichtung A er­ fährt nämlich der innere Gurt 2 eine entsprechende Dehnung, wobei die daraus resultierende Längung durch das Material im Bereich der Dehnsicken 4 bzw. durch dessen Streckung "geholt" wird.In principle, expansion beads 4 can also be provided on the outer belt 3 and, if appropriate, also on the transverse parts, but in general it will be sufficient if the expansion beads 4 are arranged in a corresponding number over the length of the inner belt 2 . In the event of an impact from the direction of the arrow A, the inner belt 2 moves accordingly, the elongation resulting therefrom being "fetched" by the material in the region of the expansion beads 4 or by its extension.
