Abstract
The invention relates to a front end module for a motor vehicle with a front end assembly support (2) between the bumper seats (3) and with a bumper transverse support (5) connecting the longitudinal supports (4) of the motor vehicle. In order to reduce the individual parts and the weight, it is proposed that the bumper transverse support (5) and the assembly support (2) are integrally manufactured in a plastics material injection moulding process as a hybrid component with sheet metal parts (6, 7) placed into the casting mould.
Claims13
A front end module for a motor vehicle with a front end assembly support and with a bumper transverse support connecting longitudinal supports of the motor vehicle, characterised in that the bumper transverse support and the front end assembly support are integrally manufactured in a plastic material injection moulding process as a hybrid component with sheet metal parts being placed in the casting mould, the sheet metal parts being reinforced by the moulding-in of cross ribs or similar plastic material ribs, wherein the profile of the plastics material ribs partially or completely fills an inner cavity of the bumper transverse support in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
A front end module for a motor vehicle with a front end assembly support and with a bumper transverse support connecting longitudinal supports of the motor vehicle, characterised in that the bumper transverse support and the assembly support are integrally manufactured in a plastic material injection moulding process as a hybrid component with sheet metal parts being placed in the casting mould, the sheet metal parts being reinforced by the moulding-in of cross ribs or similar plastic material ribs, wherein the plastic material ribs extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
A method of manufacturing a front end module for a motor vehicle with an assembly support between mudguard seats of the motor vehicle and with a bumper transverse support connecting longitudinal supports of the motor vehicle, characterised in that sheet metal parts for the upper transverse support and the bumper transverse support are placed in an injection mould for plastic material and the sheet metal parts are reinforced and connection with one another by the moulding-in of plastic material ribs, the plastic material ribs extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
