Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a coupling rod for a chassis of a motor vehicle and a method for producing such a coupling rod.
  • a connecting rod is used to connect the stabilizer bar to the chassis of a vehicle.
  • the up and down movements of a wheel occurring while driving are passed on to the stabilizer via the coupling rods.
  • the stabilizer bar is loaded.
  • cornering the rolling of the vehicle is reduced and driving stability is increased.
  • Coupling rods can have ball joints at their ends, via which they are connected to the chassis or stabilizer. Coupling rods are also known as pendulum supports, stabilizer bars, torsion bars or axle struts.
  • a coupling rod is known from the generic FR 2 862 559 A1, the connecting rod of which is made of fiber-reinforced plastic by pultrusion.
  • the ends are molded onto the connecting rod with the joints.
  • the profile that forms the bar can be made of a thermoplastic or thermoset rigid polymeric material or aluminum.
  • the connecting rod has a uniform cross-section along its length.
  • a stabilizer for a motor vehicle suspension is known from EP 3385097 A1.
  • the stabilizer bar comprises a tubular body having at each of its ends two flattened areas between which a sealed cavity is formed, and a sheathing body made of polymeric material, which is connected to the respective end of the tubular body in the molding process so that it surrounds the flattened areas.
  • the end casing bodies each have an articulated connection.
  • the tubular body is preferably made of metal, but can also be made of a thermoplastic material.
  • An axle strut for a vehicle is known from DE 10 2017 207 164 A1, corresponding to WO 2018/197136 A1, which has a support profile and two load introduction elements connected thereto by gluing.
  • the supporting profile is continuous fiber reinforced and is formed from fiber reinforced plastic and is produced continuously by means of a pultrusion process or by means of a pulwinding process.
  • DE 10 2018 213 322 A1 discloses a multipoint link for a chassis of a motor vehicle which has a pultruded hollow profile section made from a fiber-reinforced plastic.
  • a method for producing a ball joint for a coupling rod is known from DE 10 2005 034 210 A1.
  • EP 3 283 279 B1 discloses a pultrusion device for producing a fiber-reinforced endless profile with a cross-section that is discontinuous in the pultrusion direction, and a method for its production.
  • DE 10 2019 218 124 B3 discloses a method for positively connecting a hollow body made of fiber-reinforced plastic to a metal body.
  • the hollow body is introduced into a die casting mold, into which molten metal is then introduced under pressure.
  • the pressure of the molten metal is greater than the pressure in the interior of the hollow body, so that its wall in a connecting section is dented in some areas due to the pressure difference, forming a depression.
  • Molten metal penetrates into the recess, which then solidifies and forms the metal body in the solidified state.
  • DE 102010041 791 A1 discloses a stabilizer bar with a joint mount which has an end region with a recess into which a connecting element engages in a form-fitting manner.
  • the starting material of the connecting element can consist of metal and/or fiber-reinforced plastic.
  • a connecting strut is known from DE 10 2013 007 284 A1, with a rod section and end bearing eyes.
  • the connecting strut consists at least partially of fiber-reinforced plastic, which is formed by prepregs.
  • DE 10 2014 220 796 A1 discloses an articulated rod for a motor vehicle, with a connecting rod designed as an open profile and two joints connected to one another via this connecting rod.
  • the joints each comprise a joint housing in which the connecting rod is embedded with its axial ends.
  • a link rod for vehicles is known from EP 1 953 012 A2, with a strut body, at each end of which a joint is connected.
  • the strut body is formed from an open profile and the pivot comprises a ball stud articulated in a thin-walled sliding cup.
  • the end of the strut body and the sliding shell are overmoulded together with a plastic coating.
  • EP 1 733 859 A1 discloses a method and a device for producing a connection and force transmission element for suspension and steering mechanisms of motor vehicles by means of overmolding.
  • the connecting element has a rod-shaped middle part made of a material of high mechanical strength and an end part made of plastics material which is over-molded on one end of the middle part, so that a one-piece connecting element is formed.
  • the present invention is based on the object of proposing a coupling rod for a chassis of a motor vehicle which is easy to produce and has a low weight.
  • the task is also to propose a corresponding method with which such a coupling rod can be produced easily and efficiently.
  • a coupling rod for a chassis of a motor vehicle comprising: a connecting element which is produced from a fiber-reinforced plastic by means of a pultrusion process, the fiber-reinforced plastic comprising continuous fibers embedded in a matrix, which extend in a longitudinal direction of the connecting element extend, wherein the connecting element has a strut section with a longitudinal axis and, at least at one end, a connecting section which is deformed in relation to the strut section; a hinge element; and a carrier element which is connected to the connecting element and the joint element and is produced from plastic by overmoulding, with a form-fitting connection being formed between the connecting section of the connecting element and the carrier element.
  • the coupling rod has a low weight due to the use of fiber-reinforced plastic and can be easily produced using the pultrusion process.
  • the formed connection section which deviates from a continuous long form with a constant cross section, can be produced by means of the pultrusion process.
  • a secure connection to the injection-molded carrier element or the articulated element accommodated therein can be established by the formed connection section.
  • the coupling rod has a connecting section that is shaped in relation to the strut section, which includes the possibility that both ends can also have a shaped connecting section.
  • the joint element can be positioned with its joint axis as required and thus connected to the rod element.
  • the injection-molded carrier element serves to connect the joint element to the rod element and to accommodate the joint element; in this respect, the carrier element can also be referred to as a joint mount. If two joint elements are used, they can be positioned at any desired angle to one another, ie between 0° and 180° in relation to the longitudinal axis of the coupling rod.
  • the joint element has a bearing part accommodated in the carrier element and a connecting part that can be connected to a chassis part.
  • the design of the joint element is arbitrary and can be selected depending on the requirement.
  • the coupling rod can have at least one joint element made of a metallic material, with a ball section as the bearing part and a pin section as the connection part.
  • the joint element can be designed with or without a ball socket or be embedded in the plastic joint mount.
  • the coupling rod can have at least one joint element made of an elastic material.
  • the elastic joint element can have an elastic bearing part and a rigid sleeve connected thereto as a connecting part.
  • the elastic bearing part can be made of rubber, for example, and can be connected to the carrier element by overmolding or pressing.
  • the sleeve is preferably made of metal, for example aluminum or steel, and can be inserted into the bearing part. Alternatively, the bearing part can be vulcanized onto the sleeve.
  • the formed connecting section has a smallest transverse extent in cross section that is less than 0.5 times, in particular less than 0.75 times, the smallest diameter of the strut section.
  • a forming area is designed in particular in such a way that a form-fitting connection is produced in the axial direction and against twisting in relation to the molded-on carrier element.
  • a cross-sectional area of the formed connecting section can deviate from a cross-sectional area of the strut section by less than 25%, in particular less than 10%. This achieves a homogeneous structure of the endless fibers over the entire length of the connecting element, which leads to high resilience and a long service life.
  • the connecting element is designed as a hollow profile, at least in the strut section, with an embodiment as a solid profile also being possible.
  • the wall thickness is preferably greater than 2 mm and/or less than 4 mm.
  • a connecting section can be produced by radially pressing in the hollow profile so that a constriction is produced. The pressing can be done in such a way that the hollow profile is closed in this section, in particular in that in cross-section two opposing Wall sections are connected to each other. Closing the hollow profile in the connecting section prevents plastic from undesirably penetrating into the cavity of the connecting element when the joint element is molded on.
  • the matrix of the fiber-reinforced plastic can be a thermoset or a thermoplastic.
  • Thermosets are densely crosslinked polymeric materials, whereby the material is solid after crosslinking.
  • a thermoset can also be referred to as a hardened synthetic resin.
  • Thermosets are usually formed as non-crosslinked pre-condensates from the dissolved, liquid or plastic state and then hardened. Crosslinking can take place simultaneously or after shaping.
  • Thermosetting plastics from the group of vinyl ester resins, epoxy resins or unsaturated polyester resins or combinations thereof are preferably used for the matrix of the connecting element.
  • the duroplastics used can be chosen so that they preferably cure at room temperature, ie without the addition of heat. Furthermore, the duroplastics can in particular cure quickly, ie achieve dimensional stability in less than 10 seconds during curing.
  • the plastic encapsulation is preferably made from a thermoplastic.
