Description
An auxiliary frame for a front axle of a motor vehicle The invention relates to an auxiliary frame for a front axle of a motor vehicle, according to the preamble of claim 1.
DE 199 09 945 Cl discloses a subframe comprising a framework of longitudinal and transverse members, wherein mountings for wheel control arms are provided on the longitudinal members and mountings for a drive assembly are arranged on the framework.
The invention seeks to provide an auxiliary frame which is constructed as a preassembled unit for mounting a drive assembly and wheel control arms and which, in the possible event of crashes, has an energy-absorbing effect and ensures stable control-arm bearing points for a wheel suspension.
According to the invention, this is achieved by the features of claim 1.
Further advantageous features are contained in the sub-claims.
The advantages principally achieved by the invention consist in that the auxiliary frame can be preassembled and installed as a structural unit and, by means of reinforcing elements, forms a stiffened structure for the front axle and for the wheel suspension of a motor vehicle and therefore has a laterally stable connection of the control-arm bearing points. In the longitudinal and transverse directions, the auxiliary frame has optimum energy absorption in crash situations owing to crash elements which are inserted into the transverse member and into the longitudinal members.
This is achieved in particular in that junction elements are connected to each end of a transverse member of the auxiliary frame and comprise junction portions for connection to the longitudinal members and the transverse member. A first junction portion, which extends forwards in relation to the direction of travel, in each case receives a longitudinal member with a crash element, to the end of which a transversely arranged bridge-type support is connected. The second junction portion, which extends rearwards in relation to the direction of travel, is connected to the other longitudinal member, which consists of crash elements which are held on the junction element by means of a reinforcing element.
The auxiliary frame is fastened approximately centrally to the vehicle body via the two junction elements, which are arranged as so-called domes on the longitudinal sides of the auxiliary frame. They are connectable at the top end to the vehicle body via bearing points, and at the bottom end these junction elements have transversely and longitudinally extending junction portions for connection to the front and rear crash elements and to a crash element integrated into the transverse member. In particular, the junction elements each have, in the junction portions extending transversely inwards, a receiver for an engine mount, wherein the one receiver in the junction portion is closed in a circular manner and the other receiver in the junction portion is open in a semi-circular manner. Owing to these junction portions on the junction element in the longitudinal and transverse directions, a stable connection to the adjacent crash elements is possible, for example by means of a welded connection. Owing to the formation of the junction element as, for example, a casting with direct connection to the vehicle body, stable mounting of an internal-combustion engine is ensured. The junction portion extending longitudinally rearwards in relation to the direction of travel has in each case a bearing receiver arranged transversely on its outside for a wheel control arm or a transverse control arm. Furthermore, a first crash element extending in the longitudinal direction is connected to the junction portion and has passage openings for a steering arrangement and a stabiiser. This crash element comprises a cr0 sspiece with internal ribbing and is connected at its free end to the junction portion of the junction element. The two passage openings are bounded by vertically extending supporting pillars with internal ribbing. The second adjacent crash element is connected to this first crash element and is likewise provided with internal ribbing. It is supported against the end supporting pillar of the first crash element and, at its free rear end, is arranged opposite a bodywork structure of the vehicle body in a supporting manner.
According to the invention, the crash elements are arranged on the reinforcing element, which is provided at the base of the auxiliary frame and is constructed with x-shaped struts and longitudinally extending crosspieces, and the two crash elements are held on the crosspieces, wherein the one free end of the crosspiece is connectable to the junction element and the other, remote free end together with the free end of the second crash element is connectable to the vehicle body via a bearing point.
The x-shaped reinforcing element has openings between the x-struts, and stiffening plates are provided on its underside in the region of the crosspieces and in the intersection region of the struts. By means of this additional reinforcement, additional stiffening of the rear auxiliary frame is achieved and, at the same time, optimum lateral rigidity of the bearing points for the transverse control arm of a wheel suspension is achieved.
The front free ends of the longitudinal member or the crash element are connected to the transversely arranged bridge-type support, which has v-shaped latticework between an upper flange and a lower flange and, at its ends, has raised pillars which are connectable at their ends to the vehicle body via bearing points. The pillars on each side of the bridge-type support have longitudinally extending formations which form exterior bearing receivers for a transverse control arm of a wheel suspension, and the crash element is then fastened to the formations.
Owing to this arrangement and formation of the bridge-type support, additional stiffening of the front region of the auxiliary frame and lateral rigidity of the bearing points for the transverse control arm of the wheel suspension is achieved. For further stiffening, a u-shaped reinforcing element is arranged at the base of the auxiliary frame underneath the bridge-type support and the crash element and is fastened by its crosspiece to the lower flange of the bridge-type support and by its arms to the longitudinally extending formations of the junction element. The openings provided between the v-shaped latticework of the bridge-type support serve to ventilate the engine compartment and are provided for the radiator exhaust air.
An embodiment of the invention will be further described in the following and is shown in the drawings, wherein: Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the auxiliary frame, seen obliquely from above; Fig. 2 shows a plan view of the auxiliary frame according to Fig. 1; Fig. 3 shows a front view of a bridge-type support of the auxiliary frame; Fig. 4 shows a side view of the auxiliary frame, and Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of the auxiliary frame, seen from below.
