Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine kompakte Halterung zu schaffen, welche bei optimaler Nutzung des vorhandenen Bauraumes leicht und kostengünstig herstellbar ist, sowie eine zeit- und kostensparende Montage ermöglicht.The invention has for its object a compact bracket to create which with optimal use of the existing Space is easy and inexpensive to manufacture, as well as a time and cost saving installation.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 gegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the in the characteristic of Features given claim 1 solved.

Ein Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Halterung liegt darin, daß durch die Integration der Stütze in einen Teil der Abgasrückführleitung die Halterung in sehr kompakter Bauweise herstellbar ist. Die Einsparung einer separaten Stütze ermöglicht zudem bei gleichzeitiger Gewichtsreduzierung eine Senkung der Herstellkosten der Halterung sowie eine Verringerung des Montageaufwands.An advantage of the holder according to the invention is that by integrating the support into part of the exhaust gas recirculation line the bracket can be manufactured in a very compact design is. The saving of a separate support also enables a reduction in manufacturing costs while reducing weight the bracket and a reduction in assembly effort.

Das Bauteil dient nicht nur wie oben erwähnt der Halterung der Abgasrückführleitung am Motorgehäuse der Brennkraftmaschine, sondern zusätzlich der Abstützung des Mischgehäuses und des Saugmoduls. Mit dem Befestigen des Bauteils an der Zylinderkopfhaube und am Mischgehäuse erfolgt gleichzeitig sowohl die Halterung der Abgasrückführleitung als auch die Abstützung des Saugmoduls sowie des Mischgehäuses am Motorgehäuse der Brennkraftmaschine.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen und Vorteile der Erfindung gehen aus den übrigen Unteransprüchen und der Beschreibung hervor.Further configurations and advantages of the invention go out the other subclaims and the description.

In der einzigen Figur ist im folgenden ein Ausführungsbeispiel mit weiteren Einzelheiten näher erläutert. Sie zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Halterung einer Abgasrückführleitung 1 am Motorgehäuse 2 einer teilweise dargestellten Brennkraftmaschine, die einen Zylinderkopf 3 und eine am Zylinderkopf 3 befestigte Zylinderkopfhaube 4 umfaßt.In the single figure is an embodiment in the following explained in more detail with further details. It shows an inventive Holding an exhaust gas recirculation line 1 on the engine housing 2 of a partially illustrated internal combustion engine, the a cylinder head 3 and a cylinder head cover attached to the cylinder head 3 4 includes.

Die Abgasrückführleitung 1 ist zweiteilig ausgebildet und umfaßt einen ersten Leitungsteil 5, der mittels einer Rohrschelle 6 dichtend mit einem zweiten Leitungsteil 7 verbunden ist. Der erste Leitungsteil 5 der Abgasrückführleitung 1 zweigt von einem motornahen Abgasrohr 8 ab, das in einen Sammelraum 9 eines Abgaskrümmers 10 mündet, welcher über Abgasleitungen 11 an einer Auslaßseite 3a des Zylinderkopfes 3 der Brennkraftmaschine angeflanscht ist. Das an das erste Leitungsteil 5 anschließende zweite Leitungsteil 7 steht über eine Flanschverbindung 12 mit einem Mischgehäuse 13 in Verbindung, welches wiederum mit einer Ansaugleitung 14 der Brennkraftmaschine verbunden ist.The exhaust gas recirculation line 1 is formed in two parts and includes a first line part 5, which is by means of a pipe clamp 6 is sealingly connected to a second line part 7. Of the first line part 5 of the exhaust gas recirculation line 1 branches from one Exhaust pipe 8 close to the engine, which in a collecting space 9 a Exhaust manifold 10 opens, which via exhaust pipes 11 at a Exhaust side 3a of the cylinder head 3 of the internal combustion engine is flanged. That connecting to the first line part 5 second line part 7 is connected via a flange connection 12 a mixing housing 13 in connection, which in turn with a Intake line 14 of the internal combustion engine is connected.

Die Ansaugleitung 14 ist Bestandteil eines an einer Einlaßseite 3b des Zylinderkopfes 3 angeflanschten Saugmodules 15. Das Saugmodul 15 erstreckt sich in Richtung einer Motorlängsachse 23 im wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge des Zylinderkopfes 3 und in etwa parallel zur Richtung einer Motorhochachse 24.The suction line 14 is part of a on an inlet side 3b of the cylinder head 3 flanged intake module 15. Das Suction module 15 extends in the direction of an engine longitudinal axis 23 essentially over the entire length of the cylinder head 3 and approximately parallel to the direction of a motor vertical axis 24.

Das Mischgehäuse 13 weist eine erste, über eine Oberseite 15a des Saugmoduls 15 hinausragende Unterdruckdose 16 auf, die ein im Mischgehäuse 13 angeordnetes Abgasrückführventil steuert. Das Mischgehäuse 13 weist Anschlüsse 17 zum Anschluß einer zweiten, hier nicht dargestellten Unterdruckdose auf, welche eine ebenfalls im Mischgehäuse 13 angeordnete Drosselklappe steuert.The mixing housing 13 has a first, via an upper side 15a of the suction module 15 protruding vacuum box 16, the one Exhaust gas recirculation valve arranged in the mixing housing 13 controls. The mixing housing 13 has connections 17 for connecting one second vacuum box, not shown here, which a throttle valve also arranged in the mixing housing 13 controls.

Die Abgasrückführungsleitung 1 ist in ihrem Verlauf über eine motorfeste Stütze 18 an der Brennkraftmaschine gehalten, wobei erfindungsgemäß der zweite Leitungsteil 7 der Abgasrückführungsleitung 1 mit der Stütze 18 zu einem Bauteil 19 ausgebildet ist. Das Bauteil 19 ist vorzugsweise durch ein Gußteil gebildet und weist axial verlaufende Versteifungsrippen 22 auf. Im Bereich der Stütze 18 weist das Bauteil 19 einen einstückig angeformten Befestigungsflansch 20 auf und ist über diesen Flansch 20 mittels Befestigungschrauben 21 an der Zylinderkopfhaube 4 der Brennkraftmaschine befestigt.The exhaust gas recirculation line 1 is in its course over a engine-fixed support 18 held on the internal combustion engine, wherein according to the invention, the second line part 7 of the exhaust gas recirculation line 1 with the support 18 to form a component 19 is. The component 19 is preferably formed by a cast part and has axially extending stiffening ribs 22. In the area of the support 18, the component 19 has one piece molded mounting flange 20 and is over this Flange 20 using fastening screws 21 on the cylinder head cover 4 attached to the internal combustion engine.

Der nur zum Teil dargestellte Motor wird in schräger Lage eingebaut, wodurch der Schwerpunkt des Saugmoduls 15 in Richtung der Motorhochachse 24 betrachtet, in etwa seitlich über der Zylinderkopfhaube 4 liegt. Aufgrund der schrägen Einbaulage des Motors wirkt auf das Saugmodul 15 nebst Mischgehäuse 13 ein Moment, dem die mit dem Saugmodul 15 verbundene Halterung entgegenwirkt. Das die Halterung ausbildende Bauteil 19 dient somit nicht nur zur Abgasrückführung, sondern auch gleichzeitig zur Abstützung des Mischgehäuses 13 und des Saugmoduls 15.The motor, which is only partially shown, is installed in an inclined position, whereby the focus of the suction module 15 in the direction the engine vertical axis 24 viewed, approximately laterally above the cylinder head cover 4 lies. Due to the inclined position of the Motors acts on the suction module 15 together with the mixing housing 13 for a moment, which counteracts the holder connected to the suction module 15. The component 19 forming the holder thus serves not only for exhaust gas recirculation, but also at the same time Supporting the mixing housing 13 and the suction module 15.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wäre vorstellbar, daß die Befestigungsschrauben 21 zur Befestigung der Halterung bzw. des Bauteils 19 an der Zylinderkopfhaube 4 gleichzeitig zur Befestigung der Zylinderkopfhaube 4 am Zylinderkopf 3 der Brennkraftmaschine dienen, so daß separate Schrauben entfallen können.In a further embodiment of the invention, it would be conceivable that the fastening screws 21 for fastening the bracket or the component 19 on the cylinder head cover 4 at the same time for attaching the cylinder head cover 4 to the cylinder head 3 Serve internal combustion engine so that separate screws are omitted can.
