Assembly for a vehicle
An assembly for a vehicle comprising a crossmember, which is provided for connecting to two pillars lying opposite each other with respect to the x-y plane of the vehicle; a mounting that is connected to the crossmember, protrudes therefrom in the radial direction, and has two mounts, which are mutually spaced in the y direction, and end-face connection means; and a panel-shaped instrument which is connected to the connection means of the mounting at a distance to the upper closure thereof and which is held such that the operating surface of the instrument faces the passenger compartment of the vehicle in the x direction. Each of the two mounts is designed in the form of a half shell which are arranged such that the opening side thereof faces in the y direction, wherein the two limbs of the mounts designed as half shells are arranged on the x-y plane, the web connecting said limbs is arranged on the y-z plane, and each of the mounts has at least one predetermined bending point, which is provided by the geometry of the mount, between the two connection points of the mount, said mounts bending at the predetermined bending point in the z and/or y direction in the event of a load (x direction).
1. An assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
a crossmember for connecting to two pillars lying opposite each other with respect to an x-z plane of the vehicle,
a mounting connected to the crossmember and protruding therefrom in a radial direction, the mounting comprising two mounts, which are spaced apart from one another in a y direction, and end-face connection means, and
a panel-shaped instrument connected to the connection means of the mounting at a distance from an upper end of the panel-shaped instrument, wherein the panel-shaped instrument is mounted such that a user interface of the instrument faces in an x direction into a passenger compartment of the vehicle,
wherein each of the two mounts is designed in the form of a half shell which are arranged such that an opening side thereof faces in the y direction, wherein each half shell has two limbs connected by a web, with the two limbs arranged on an x-y plane and the web arranged on a y-z plane, and wherein each of the mounts has at least one predetermined bending point, which is provided by a geometry of the mount, between the two connection sections of the mount, the mounts configured to bend at the predetermined bending point in a z and/or y direction in the event of a load in the x direction.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounts each have a predetermined bending point at which the mounts bend in the z direction under load in the x direction.
3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounts each have a predetermined bending point at which the mounts bend in the y direction under load in the x direction.
4. The assembly of claim 3 , wherein the mounts in a projection thereof in the x-y plane have a flexure pointing in the y direction with an offset such that two mount sections offset from one another by the flexure do not overlap in the alignment of their longitudinal extension in the y direction.
5. The assembly of claim 4 , wherein the mount sections carrying the connection means for the panel-shaped instrument are inclined against an offset direction of the flexure.
6. The assembly of claim 5 , wherein the angle of inclination is between 12° and 18°.
7. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein, to form a predetermined bending point at which a mount bends in the z direction in the event of load in the x direction, the mount has a section that is concave in the direction of its longitudinal extension with an apex axis which extends in the y direction.
8. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein, due to the geometry in the design of the mounts, the mounts have a higher flexural rigidity at a distance from the at least one predetermined bending point in the direction of their crossmember connection than in a region of a predetermined bending point.
9. The assembly of claim 8 , wherein, to increase the flexural rigidity of the mounts, a width of the limbs located in the x-y plane increases in the direction of the crossmember connection.
10. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein a height of the web connecting the limbs of the half shell is reduced adjacent the two connection sections of the mounts in comparison to mount sections located therebetween.
11. The assembly of claim 10 , wherein the height of the web is reduced by a flexure of the upper limb of the mounts introduced in the y-z plane.
12. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the lower limbs of the mounts located in the x-y plane each carry a press-in nut on an outside thereof as connection means for fixing a fastening bolt, and a shaft of the fastening bolt extends through a passage in the upper limb located in the x-y plane and a connecting part of the panel-shaped instrument arranged between the upper and lower limbs of the mount located in the x-y plane.
13. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounts are produced as stamped and bent parts from a steel plate.
14. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the panel-shaped instrument is a display.
