Description

The invention relates to a control housing module for an internal combustion engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, and to a method for producing the control housing module.

Control housing modules for internal combustion engines have been produced in series production almost exclusively from Al-Si alloys in die casting. For heavier versions, gray cast iron can also be used to manufacture the control box module, according to the crankcase. Furthermore, a diecast magnesium alloy is also possible, which is frequently used in racing engines.

The DE 44 00 952 C1 discloses a housing cover of an internal combustion engine produced in the die-cast aluminum method in which an oil cooler, an oil filter, an oil filter bypass and a cooling water supply are integrated. To accommodate an oil filter oil cooler combination space saving as possible in the housing cover to accommodate more functions for the engine operation in a small space, a transverse water channel and a cross oil passage for oil supply to the main oil lines with intermediate oil pressure and oil temperature sensors are housed in the housing cover.

The present invention relates to a control housing module for an internal combustion engine, which is attached to an end face of the internal combustion engine and on the ancillaries, such as. As water pump, oil filter, thermostat, alternator, power steering pump, coolant compressor, belt tensioner and pulleys can be attached or partially integrated. Advantageously, the control housing module allows as many as possible interdependent ancillaries optimally arranged to each other. For this purpose, the housing cover is designed with a chamber divided into chambers, in which the respective units such as oil pump, coolant pump or thermostatic valve can be accommodated. The chambers are connected to each other via flow channels. Furthermore, receiving structures for the other ancillary components are provided outside the cavity.

Out DE 196 12 360 C1 . DE 196 35 534 A1 . EP 0 843 081 A1 . DE 196 47 299 C1 . DE 196 35 534 C2 and DE 10 2005 025 882 A1 versions of a control module are known without special materials are named.

Further, the DD 211 146 A1 an embodiment of a control housing cover with ribs to reduce the noise emissions.

Also DE 10 2005 025 882 A1 relates to a control housing cover for sealing an engine housing with an oil pan and with a lid member, wherein the lid member has a first and a second lid portion, wherein the second lid portion is formed movable to the first lid portion. This control housing cover has, in addition to a noise-damping effect, a compensation of tolerances and in particular stresses resulting from thermal expansion.

Based on this prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a control housing module with a variety of partially integrated recording, connection structures for ancillaries, which also has over the control housing covers made of light metal further weight saving potential and contributes to cost reduction.

This object is achieved by a control housing module having the features of claim 1 and by a method having the features of claim 9. Further developments are set forth in the subclaims.

A first embodiment relates to a control housing module for an internal combustion engine. The control housing module has integration and / or attachment and / or receiving structures for the ancillaries and a rib structure. The accessories which are to be attached to the control housing module or at least partially integrated therein, it may be a crankshaft radial shaft seal, a water pump, a coolant compressor, a generator, an oil filter, a conduit for coolant and / or an oil pan connection act. The control housing module according to the invention consists of a metal-plastic hybrid composite having at least one metal insert. The rib structure consists of reinforcing ribs, which are molded from a thermoplastic material to the insert. The thermoplastic of the reinforcing ribs comprises short fibers of a reinforcing material with a volume fraction of at least 30%. The fiber content lowers the creep of the injection-molded reinforcing ribs of the control housing module and thus improves its dimensional stability even at elevated temperature.

Thus, the FVK control box module for an internal combustion engine in a metal-plastic hybrid composite construction with the high short fiber filled thermoplastic resin ribs provides a more cost effective control box module with further reduced weight through the reduced metal portion Requirements for fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in the automotive industry.

In one embodiment of the control box module, a fiber volume content of 30% may be sufficient, but in other embodiments, the volume fraction of short fibers may also be 40% or more, for example 50% or 60% or even more, for example up to 90%, as long as it is ensured that the fiber-containing thermoplastic is sprayable.

Due to the use in the vicinity of an internal combustion engine, suitable thermoplastic resin materials for the ribs have a high heat resistance, such as polyamide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyphthalamide, polyetheretherketone and combinations thereof. Other thermoplastics suitable for use at high temperatures are polysulfone, polyetherimide and polytetrafluoroethene.

The ribbing stiffening the control housing module can comprise rib structures oriented in accordance with the flow of force as well as regularly shaped longitudinal, transverse, and / or diagonal, in particular intersecting, reinforcing ribs. For better sound and / or thermal insulation, the fin areas bounded by the ribs can be foamed with a foam material, in particular made of polyamide or polyurethane.

The control housing module may be provided with a planar reinforcing structure at least in sections on the side of the ribs facing away from the insert. This additional reinforcement structure may be useful above all in areas of increased introduction of force, such as the connection regions for the coolant compressor and the generator on the control housing module, but it is also conceivable to cover the entire surface of the ribbing structure with the planar reinforcement structure.

The planar reinforcing structure can be a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheet cut to length according to the flow of force, such as an organic sheet. "Organic sheet" is understood to mean plate-shaped continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic pulleys which can be thermoformed, permit short process cycles and, moreover, can be welded well. Organic sheets may consist of special fiber arrangements having fibers in defined orientations embedded in the thermoplastic matrix. For example, the fiber arrangements can be fabrics, scrims, knits, etc.

Furthermore, a sheet-like reinforcing structure may be an alternative to the organic sheet or, in combination therewith, may be a thermoplastic prepreg-impregnated and preconsolidated TFP textile made according to a flux of force. Tailored fiber placements allow textile inlays to be produced without blending with the desired flow-oriented fibers.

The sheet-like reinforcing structure can be connected directly to the ribs and / or the insert by means of the thermoplastic material contained, but an additional thermoplastic layer can also be provided as the bonding layer.

The thermoplastics of the thermoplastic sheet, the prepreg TFP fabric and / or the sheet may also be, according to the ribs, a heat-resistant thermoplastic such as polyamide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyphthalamide, polyetheretherketone and combinations thereof. Also according to the ribs, the thermoplastic resin of a tie layer may also comprise short fibers of a reinforcing material in a volume fraction of at least 30%.

In one embodiment, the control housing module can be composed of quasi two partial components, each of which has an insert with the molded rib structure. These two partial components are connected to one another via the rib structures, for example welded.

Also, the use of at least two inserts requires an embodiment of the control box module in which a first inserter provides a deformed portion as a half profile which is supplemented by the second inserter to a hollow profile connected thereto to the first inserter.

For example, the control housing module can also have at least one FRP tube as a conduit integrated into the insert.

The metal insert used is preferably made of a metal sheet, which consists in particular of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. For better connection of the molded thermoplastic plastic ribs, the metal insert has positive locking elements such as beads, nubs, openings, slots, etc. Further, the metal insert may also be provided with an adhesive coating to improve the adhesion of the plastic ribs and treated with a so-called primer. For further stiffening of the control box module, at least one edge of the metal insert can be reinforced by a fold.

For the preparation of the control housing module, a metal sheet according to the control housing module is assembled to the insert before or after it is shaped accordingly z. B. is deep-drawn / was. Furthermore, the interlocking elements are introduced into the sheet / the inserter, for example by punching. This is then placed in an injection mold. In the injection mold at least the intended ribbing of the thermoplastic material, which comprises short fibers of a reinforcing material in a volume fraction of at least 30%, molded. By the positive locking elements of the molded thermoplastic is positively connected to the metal insert. After curing of the ribbing, the control housing module can be removed from the injection mold.

Further embodiments of the method according to the invention comprise at least one of the following steps:
During fabrication, molding and / or injection, integration and / or attachment and / or receiving structures will be formed for, wherein the production of undercuts by means of a multi-part injection molding tool may be included.

Furthermore, immediately after the formation of the ribs, the foaming of the intermediate rib spaces, for example with PA or PUR, can take place in the same injection mold.

Arranging and bonding a planar reinforcing structure on the side of the ribs facing away from the inserter, for example by welding by means of a thermoplastic layer, will take place after the end of the injection molding cycle, for example after demolding of the component.

Further, the fabrication of the component may include bonding at least two inserts provided with a molded rib structure by welding to the ribs.

The formation of an integrated hollow profile in the component can take place prior to the injection molding cycle by connecting at least two inserts, alternatively or additionally, during injection molding, an FRP pipe can be integrated into the insert as a conduit.

For edge reinforcement, a fold can be formed on at least one edge of the insert before injection molding.

In addition to the positive-locking elements, the connection of the subsequently molded plastic ribs can be improved by coating the insert with a bonding agent.

The device according to the invention relates to a control housing module in metal-plastic hybrid composite construction based on a high short fiber filled thermoplastic matrix. Suitable fiber materials include glass, carbon and polymer fibers, especially aramid. It is also possible to use combinations of the fiber materials. Other fiber materials that can be used at least proportionally include metal fibers, natural fibers, ceramic fibers, basalt fibers, etc.

As in 1 is shown in principle on the left, the hybrid control housing module 1 on a front side of an internal combustion engine 9 attached. These are on the control box module 1 Ancillaries, such. B. water pump 3 , Oil filter 6 , Thermostat, alternator 5 , Power steering pump, coolant compressor 4 , Belt tensioner and pulleys attached or may be partially integrated, as well 2 shows. There it can also be seen that some components can be at least partially integrated, like the oil filter 6 and a duct 7 for a water pump. Furthermore, a radial shaft seal 2 to see for the crankshaft, and the connection structure 8th for the connection to the oil sump. Other ancillaries such as the refrigerant compressor 4 and the generator 5 are attached to appropriate connection structures.

2 shows a manufactured in die-cast control housing module 1 from an Al-Si alloy according to the prior art.

Due to increasing fuel consumption and exhaust emission requirements in the automotive industry, the hybrid control box module of the present invention enables 1 With the appropriate connection structures for the integrated ancillary units through the substitution of the pure metal components by a metal-plastic hybrid composite a cost and weight reduction and thus the possibility of implementing a consistent lightweight construction in the engine area.

An inventive control housing module 1 , as in the schematic diagram of 3 to see consists essentially of an aluminum sheet inserter 10 used in an injection molding machine with a high short fiber filled (eg 30%, 40%, 60% fiber volume fraction) thermoplastics (eg polyamide, polyphenylene sulfide / polyphthalamide, polyetheretherketone, etc.) with ribs 11 is overmolded and thereby receives its final geometry. Preferred thermoplastics have a high heat resistance and a good dimensional stability, and advantageously high strength values. Possible undercuts, such. B. in the connection of the oil filter 6 , the connection of the water pump 3 or a recording 2 for the radial shaft seal can be realized with the help of multi-part injection molds.

In 3a) is a control housing module according to the invention 1 to see that just with the ribs 11 is reinforced while right in 3b) additional local reinforcements through welded fiber reinforced thermoplastic sheets 12 , which may be organic sheets, are provided. In 5 under a) and b) the corresponding sections are shown, which are longitudinally through the control housing module 1 lie. The fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheets 12 are for example by means of a connecting or welding layer 12 ' with the rib structures 11 connected.

organosheets 12 are textile semifinished products (eg scrim, fabrics of reinforcing fibers, such as glass, carbon and / or aramid fibers), which are pre-impregnated with a thermoplastic and consolidated. As further fiber textiles but also braids and knits, etc. come into question, and other fiber materials, the alternative or used in combination can be metal fibers, such as steel fibers, or ceramic fibers, natural fibers, basalt fibers or polymer fibers. The fibers of the fiber textiles can only be oriented in one direction or oriented in two directions at any angle to each other, for example at right angles to each other.

As 4 shows, can the ribbing of the inserter 10 done in two different levels. As a primary, irregularly shaped reinforcement can be a topologically optimized structure 11a according to the main power flow. This structure 11a serves to accommodate the main loads, indicated by the example branch F. The secondary, regularly shaped rib structure 11 for reinforcement serves together with the frame 14 primarily for stiffening the control box module 1 against bending and torsional load. By introducing beads into the geometry of the insert, the structure can be additionally stiffened. By a clever design, the ribbing can also lead to a noise reduction.

Furthermore, the room can 13 between the ribs 11 additionally by a plastic foam, for example, from a polyamide or a polyurethane later or during the actual injection molding process (eg., In 2-component injection molding of compatible thermoplastics) are filled, see. 5b , This can, depending on the pore content, the pore density and the pore geometry cause additional sound insulation. Open-cell foams are particularly well suited for sound insulation, while closed-cell foams are suitable for thermal insulation. If necessary, the ribbing can 11 also on both sides of the depositor 10 respectively. In 5c) this case is outlined, with the addition of stiffening sandwich formation with other organo sheets 12 is shown. Also here can intercostal spaces 13 be foamed.

The sandwich formation with the welded organo sheets 12 Can be used in particularly stressed areas such as the connection of generator 5 and refrigerant compressor 4 , see. 2 , done, there can be the organic sheets 12 on the rib structure 11 welded locally (eg by infrared, hot gas welding), so that the organo sheets 12 along with the ribbing 11 and the depositor 10 form a stiffening sandwich structure ( 5 and 6 ).

The organic sheets 12 can be made weldable by, for example, as in 6a) shown on one side with an extruded thermoplastic film 12 ' be connected by hot rolls in the manufacturing process. This thermoplastic film 12 ' like the thermoplastic matrix of the organic sheet 12 For example, polyamide, polyphenylene sulfide / polyphthalamide, polyetheretherketone, but there are also other thermoplastics conceivable. The thermoplastic matrix of the organic sheet 12 , the thermoplastic film 12 ' and the molded rib structure 11 may comprise the same thermoplastic resin, but they may also be different thermoplastics. Like the thermoplastic material of the ribs 11 can also be the thermoplastic film 12 ' high-short-fiber-filled (eg with a fiber volume fraction of 30%, 40% or 60%).

The control box module 1 can also be used as a complete sandwich construction and thus as a box profile with the organo sheets 12 be made as "lids", 7 shows plan view and longitudinal section. The aluminum insert 10 is ribbed on both sides 11 sprayed on each of the organic sheets 12 with the thermoplastic film 12 ' be welded. Again, the spaces between 13 between the ribs 11 be foamed.

Another manufacturing route is in 8a) to f) and consists of two depositors 10 at the same time in a tool 20 by means of a gating system 23 . 24 to be covered with ribs (a), the tool halves 21 . 22 to drive apart (b), so that each one depositor 10 in a mold shell of each mold half 21 . 22 remains and a tool half 21 lower so that the two depositors 10 opposite (c). After a cooling phase to cure these two depositors 10 by means of a heating device 30 in the same tool 20 heated at the contact surfaces of the ribs (d) about by means of infrared or hot gas and welded together (e) by moving together the mold halves 21 . 22 , After that, the finished component 1' , this in 8th a pipe profile is to be demolded. This in 8th sketched process for hot gas welding directly in the injection mold was developed by the companies Engel, Hummel-Formen and KVT Bielefeld and is known under the name "ENGEL joinmelt".

A manufacturable in this way control housing module 1 is in 9 shown. On two aluminum inserts 10 are one-sided the rib structures 11 injected, and both halves at the contact surfaces of the ribs 11 welded together (indicated area S).

Generally speaking, between the depositor 10 and the outer organo sheet 12 instead of the rib structure 11 also a structural core 11 used as spacers for the sandwich structure ( 10 ). Possible designs for a structural core 11 are in 11 shown.

For partial integration of ancillary equipment (eg water pump 3 ) can the depositor 10 be formed by a forming process corresponding to the one half of the component to be integrated, wherein the second half 10 ' on the depositor 10 is attached ( 12 ). By connecting the deformed portion of the insert 10 and the second half 10 ' that the partial integration of the water pump 3 allowed, becomes an integrated coolant line 7 created. With an integration of the water pump 3 can, as in 13 outlines the necessary coolant line 7 completely or partly through a FRP pipe 7 into the ribbed insert structure 10 to get integrated. Here, the FRP pipe 7 either consolidated in a previous step or directly in the injection mold and overmoulded with ribs.

FVK semi-finished tubes used for this purpose can be continuously produced by braiding. Shaping and consolidation can alternatively take place via the projectile injection technique (PIT), the water or gas injection technique (WIT / GIT), the core remelting process or the tube blowing process. Further process variants are braided pultrusion or laser-assisted thermoplastic winding.

The aluminum sheet inserter 10 is formed from an aluminum sheet. Metallic sheet metal structures, which are encapsulated with a plastic to compensate for their tendency to buckle, are referred to as metal-plastic hybrid composites. These are thin-walled metal profiles, as in 14a shown at a load F tend to buckling, equipped with a plastic rib structure, the metal profile 10 in the direction of arrows 11 stiffened so that the metal profile 10 due to the relatively low holding forces 11 keep the plastic rib structure in shape under load F ( 14b 14c ) shows a hybrid profile of a rib-stiffened metal profile, which can have a significantly thinner wall thickness than without ribs.

In general, such metal-plastic hybrid composite components are known in the art, so refers to DE 10 2009 014 244 A1 to a composite component for a bumper beam with at least one cross member and with a respective deformation element and the EP 1 340 668 A2 to a composite component for an instrument panel carrier or cross member.

For the production of such hybrid components, a thin-walled metal profile is formed, for example, by deep drawing, before or after confectioning and punched to create openings, slots, beads or nubs. The shaped and stamped metal insert is inserted and fixed in the injection mold. 15a) to d) shows an example of the procedure for the back injection of an aluminum insert 10 ' in an injection mold 20 for a hybrid module 1' , 15a shows a tool half of the Sprizgießwerkezugs, 15b the inserted aluminum insert there 10 ' , Subsequently, the closed mold is filled with a thermoplastic material (eg PA, PPS / PPA, PEEK) in the standard injection molding process. During the filling process, the plastic melt penetrates through the punched and chamfered openings and encloses the edges of the metal insert. After solidification of the plastic melt creates a positive and permanent bond between the two materials, which thus form a stable unit. After cooling, the plastic can be used 11 ' overmoulded insert 10 ' ( 15c ) as a finished component 1' ( 15d ) and assembled without further post-processing.

For a good bond between the plastic structure and the aluminum sheet, the sheet may also be coated with an adhesive (so-called primer) before the injection molding process

To achieve high bending and torsional rigidity, the control housing module 1 be designed as a closed box section, in which two not necessarily symmetrical and provided with beads half shells 10 (see. 18 ) of organo sheets with the rib structure 11 made of high-short fiber-filled (eg 30%, 40%, 60% fiber volume fraction) thermoplastic material (eg PA 6.6, PPS / PPA, PA 4.6, PEEK) and simultaneously injected into the shells 10 introduced holes are added. The two half shells 10 are converted to the final geometry before the injection molding process.

Around the free edges of the insert 10 to stabilize, as in 19 represented, wrapped or overmoulded FRP pipes 14 be used with hollow cross section as edge reinforcements. An embodiment for an exemplary control box module 1 is in 18 shown. There is an edge reinforcement with a FRP pipe 14 intended. In addition, such pipes can 14 to accommodate the main loads also across the control housing module 1 be laid as in 19 displayed.

By injecting the back of the insert, the stiffness behavior of the occurring stress can be adjusted. The possibility of forming closed profile cross-sections is created. The back-injected insert offers over the light metal control housing modules further weight saving potential so that a further reduction in fuel consumption and thus the emission of pollutants is possible. In addition, the FVK control housing module is cheaper compared to the light metal control housing modules and can be manufactured with high manufacturing accuracy, even without reworking. Furthermore, material damping and a high degree of functional integration (eg integrated thread) and the possibility of health monitoring through sensor integration are given.

In the embodiment as a sandwich with the additionally arranged on the ribs organo sheet arise further possibilities for reducing the noise emission and / or the thermal insulation and an increase in the component stiffness.

Advantageously avoids a control housing in metal-plastic-hybrid composite construction, a water absorption in the Grundköper and also without foaming and sandwich increased component stiffness.
