Abstract

A three-dimensionally shaped body module component and a method for the production thereof, which is assembled from a plurality of body module segments ( 1 ). The body module segments ( 1 ) are sections of continuously pultruded fiber plastic composite pultrudates, wherein each pultrudate has a basic structure consisting of endless fibers ( 20 ) laid in accordance with the force flux with respect to a predetermined geometry of the component. Furthermore, the basic structure has at least one passage ( 30 ) per body module segment ( 1 ) for receiving a connecting means ( 11 ), so as to connect at least two of the body module segments ( 1 ). The fibers ( 20 ) laid in accordance with the force flux are laid around the passage ( 30 ), and, furthermore, a stabilization structure ( 40 ) made from fibers is arranged around it.

Claims (11)

1. A three-dimensional shaped body module component, which is assembled from a plurality of body module segments ( 1 ), wherein the body module segments ( 1 ) are sections of continuously pultruded fibre plastic composite pultrudates, wherein each pultrudate has a basic structure that consists of endless fibres ( 20 ) laid in accordance with the force flux with respect to a predetermined geometry of the component, and wherein the basic structure has at least one passage ( 30 ) per body module segment ( 1 ) for receiving a connecting means ( 11 ), in order to connect at least two of the body module segments ( 1 ), wherein

the fibres ( 20 ) laid in accordance with the force flux are laid around the passage ( 30 ), and

a stabilisation structure ( 40 ) made from fibres is arranged around the passage ( 30 ).

2. A body module component according to claim 1 , wherein the body module component has at least one joint element ( 3 ), via which the at least two body module segments ( 1 ) are connected, wherein the joint element ( 3 ) has openings ( 8 ) for the connecting means ( 11 ), which correspond to the openings ( 30 ) of the body module segments ( 1 ).

3. The body module component according to claim 2 , wherein the body module segment ( 1 ) has at least one internally lying void volume ( 5 ), wherein void sections are present at connecting ends of the body module segments ( 1 ), and wherein the joint element ( 3 ) comes into contact with the connecting ends of the segments ( 1 ) in the void sections and/or on a wall ( 2 , 2 ′).

4. The body module component according to claim 2 , wherein the joint element ( 3 ) consists of a metal material, in particular a light metal material or a fibre plastic composite material, in particular a pultruded fibre plastic composite material.

5. The body module component according to claim 4 , wherein the joint element ( 3 ) is a cast joint element ( 3 ), which is integrally cast positively onto at least one of the walls ( 2 , 2 ′) of each of the body module segments ( 1 ) that are to be connected, and/or the joint element ( 3 ) is a cast joint element ( 3 ) and the connecting means ( 11 ) are cast together with the joint element ( 3 ) as one piece.

6. The body module component according to claim 2 , wherein at least one adhesive beading ( 9 ) is provided in a region between the joint element ( 3 ) and the wall ( 2 , 2 ′) of one of the connecting ends.

7. The body module component according to claim 1 , wherein the body module component ( 1 ) has a fibre content ranging from 50% to 75% with respect to the total volume of the fibre plastic composite material.

8. The body module component according to claim 1 , wherein the body module component is a motor vehicle floor, front or rear structure.

9. The body module component according to claim 1 , wherein the body module component ( 1 ) has a fibre content ranging from 65% to 75% with respect to the total volume of the fibre plastic composite material.
