Definitions

  • Vehicle hood hinges of the type mentioned are known in various embodiments from the prior art. They serve primarily to pivotally connect vehicle hubs, such as hoods or trunk flaps, between a closed position and an open position to the vehicle body. In order to achieve the largest possible opening angle even with modern designed vehicles, the known vehicle hood hinges on large hinge bracket, so that, for example, in the trunk area a large loading and unloading is achieved.
  • the hinge strap used in this case must have a high strength and are usually formed of steel, which, however, results in a significant manufacturing cost and high costs and a high weight.
  • commonly used welding methods often lead to high manufacturing tolerances due to the resulting during welding thermal expansion.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a vehicle hood hinge, which at the same time high strength has only a low weight and also flexible in the production of different sized hinge bracket on the basis of uniform, metallic base components.
  • Characteristic of the vehicle hood hinge according to the invention is that the hinge bracket of the vehicle hood hinge two viewed in the pivot axis direction of the hinge bracket with the vehicle body spaced apart and formed of metallic material supporting body, which are at least partially encased to form the hinge bracket with a plastic connecting the support body.
  • the Hinge therefore only made by the connection made over the plastic compound of the two spaced apart and thus not mutually fixed support body.
  • the support body serve to ensure the required stability of the hinge bracket, whereas the plastic with its low weight contributes to the formation of the hinge bracket by fixing the support body relative to each other and additionally acts stabilizing.
  • the arrangement of the support body at a distance from each other - viewed in the pivot axis direction of the hinge bracket with the vehicle body - ensures that the hinge bracket has a high resistance to the forces occurring during operation.
  • the hinge bracket and thus also the vehicle hood hinge has a particularly low weight and high strength.
  • the plastic also serves as a damping element and prevents particularly effective rattling noise due to an investment of the hinge bracket to adjacent components on the vehicle.
  • connection areas are understood to mean those areas of the hinge bracket where it is connected to adjacent components of the hinge or vehicle, for example the vehicle hood or vehicle body, or to other functional elements such as a spring.
  • the use of structural reinforcing functional elements for these areas of the hinge bracket increases the strength of the hinge bracket in a complementary manner and also ensures a secure connection of the hinge bracket to adjacent components at the corresponding connection points.
  • the functional elements allow a determination of the support body relative to each other, so that, for example, a subsequent plastic injection process can be carried out particularly easily, since it can be dispensed with a determination of the support body to each other.
  • the design of the support body and / or the functional elements, in particular the materials used for their production can be chosen freely according to the requirements, for example, but not according to the invention, also made of carbon fiber supporting body can be used, which allow a particularly low weight of the hinge bracket ,
  • the functional elements are formed of a metallic material.
  • metallic materials for the production of the supporting bodies and functional elements for example the use of aluminum alloys, ensures a high strength of the hinge bracket with simultaneously low production costs.
  • the use of light metallic materials, such as, for example, the use of aluminum alloys also makes it possible to reduce the dead weight of the hinge bracket in a complementary manner.
  • the use of functional elements they can in principle be connected in any way with the support bodies, preferably non-thermal joining methods, for example. The connection can be selected by screws or rivets, which allows the production with only small manufacturing tolerances.
  • the arrangement of the plastic on the support body and / or the functional elements can also be done in any way.
  • the support body and possibly the functional elements in an already formed plastic body, so as to form the hinge bracket.
  • the supporting body and / or the functional elements are encapsulated in plastic.
  • Such a trained hinge bracket can be particularly easy and inexpensive to produce.
  • individual areas can be selected in the plastic injection process, which are encapsulated with plastic, whereas other areas can remain free.
  • the bearing point which can be brought to the articulated connection of the vehicle hood with a body arranged on the holder in engagement, can be done in any way, taking into account the respective requirements.
  • the bearing is formed by a metal body connecting the support body, which is encapsulated with a bearing properties having plastic.
  • a bearing properties having plastic are understood to mean those plastics which have good sliding properties with little wear. The use of such a plastic ensures reliable operation and prevents in a particularly reliable manner a noise due to relative movements of the bearing against the corresponding recording.
  • the design of the support body, which the hinge bracket the basic stability can basically be freely selected according to the existing requirements.
  • the support body are formed by planar metal body, which are considered perpendicular to the pivot axis, are arranged parallel spaced from each other.
  • the use of such configured support body eg. In the form of specially designed flat metal sheets has the advantage that the hinge bracket formed by this support has a high resistance to the loads occurring during operation, but at the same time only a small weight.
  • the use of such support body offers the possibility of a simple arrangement of molded or attached plastic elements.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a hinge bracket 1 darg Pope a vehicle hood hinge, not shown here.
  • the hinge bracket 1 has, in Fig. 2 also shown in a perspective view supporting body 2a, 2b, which are formed from flat metallic sections.
  • the support bodies 2a, 2b are arranged perpendicular to a pivot axis A and parallel to each other at a distance from each other.
  • the distance between the supporting bodies 2a, 2b is determined by functional elements arranged in different sections on the supporting bodies 2a, 2b, wherein a bearing axis 7, fastening receptacles 8 for connecting the hinge bracket 1 to a vehicle hood and a spring suspension 9 are present as functional elements.
  • the functional elements space the supporting bodies 2a, 2b and also increase the rigidity of the hinge bracket 1.
  • the functional elements 7, 8, 9 represent connection points 3, 5, 6 to which the hinge bracket 1 is connected to adjacent components of the hood hinge or other components.
  • the receptacles 8 are used for rigid connection of the hinge bracket 1 to a vehicle hood, not shown here, whereas the bearing shaft 7 for pivotally mounted arrangement of the hinge bracket 1 at a corresponding, also not shown here, Recording is provided on the body.
  • the suspension spring 9 allows the arrangement of a spring element, which allows a bias of the tailpiece connected to the hinge bracket 1 in an open and or closed position.
  • the support bodies 2a, 2b are at least partially encased by a plastic body 4, wherein the plastic body 4 gives the hinge bracket 1 additional stability and at the same time acts as a damping element.
  • the plastic body 4 to increase the stability transverse to the support bodies 2a, 2b extending transverse ribs 10.
  • the bearing shaft 7 is also coated with a lubricious plastic, so as to ensure a good pivoting of the hinge bracket 1 to the corresponding receptacle of the vehicle hood hinge.
