Cargo floor for a motor vehicle
A cargo floor, in particular a trunk or storage floor, for a motor vehicle. The cargo floor includes a layer-shaped construction with a core layer, a first reinforcement layer and a second reinforcement layer. The core layer is arranged between the first reinforcement layer and the second reinforcement layer and includes a honeycomb structure produced in particular from polypropylene (PP). It is conceivable that the first reinforcement layer and/or the second reinforcement layer each include a meshwork made of a plurality of thermoplastic continuous fiber tapes (UD tapes).
1. A cargo floor for a motor vehicle, said cargo floor comprising:
a first reinforcement layer,
a second reinforcement layer, and
a core layer arranged between the first reinforcement layer and the second reinforcement layer, wherein the core layer comprises a honeycomb structure composed of polypropylene (PP),
wherein the first reinforcement layer and/or the second reinforcement layer each comprise a meshwork composed of a plurality of thermoplastic continuous fiber tapes (TCF tapes).
2. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the TCF tapes are inhomogeneously distributed within the meshwork.
3. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the TCF tapes are unevenly spaced apart from one another.
4. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the TCF tapes are distributed inhomogeneously within the meshwork such that an average distance separating adjacent TCF tapes arranged in a first region of the meshwork differs from the average distance separating adjacent TCF tapes that are arranged in a second region of the meshwork.
5. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the meshwork is machined into a matrix comprising polypropylene.
6. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the TCF tapes are at least partially fiber-reinforced with carbon, glass, or natural fibers.
7. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the core layer is fixedly connected to the first reinforcement layer and the second reinforcement layer in a material-locking manner.
8. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , further comprising a cover layer, in the form of a textile layer, arranged on the first reinforcement layer and/or the second reinforcement layer on an outside and connected to the first reinforcement layer and/or the second reinforcement layer by a material or friction lock.
9. The cargo floor according to claim 8 , wherein the first reinforcement layer is sandwiched between the cover layer and the core layer.
10. The cargo floor according to claim 9 , wherein the first reinforcement layer is connected to the cover layer by thermal welding.
11. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one attachment part, in the form of a handle element, that is fastened to the cargo floor.
12. The cargo floor according to claim 11 , further comprising at least one retaining element inserted into the core layer of the cargo floor, the retaining element being configured for fastening the attachment part to the cargo floor by cooperation with at least one fastening element.
13. The cargo floor according to claim 12 , wherein the retaining element is a plastic insert.
14. The cargo floor according to claim 12 , wherein the fastening element is a fastening bolt.
15. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the cargo floor is either a trunk floor or a storage floor.
16. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the honeycomb structure of the core layer is composed of polypropylene.
17. A motor vehicle having a cargo floor according to claim 1 .
18. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the first reinforcement layer and the second reinforcement layer each comprise a meshwork composed of a plurality of thermoplastic continuous fiber tapes (TCF tapes).
19. The cargo floor according to claim 1 , wherein the TCF tapes are distributed inhomogeneously within the meshwork such that an average distance separating adjacent TCF tapes arranged in a central region of the meshwork is less than an average distance separating adjacent TCF tapes that are arranged in an edge region of the meshwork.
20. The cargo floor according to claim 19 , wherein a distance separating adjacent TCF tapes arranged in the central region of the meshwork is constant, and a distance separating adjacent TCF tapes that are arranged in the edge region of the meshwork is also constant.
