Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing the frame of the backrest of a motor vehicle seat.
- the backrest frames of motor vehicle seats are usually made of metal and have the shape of an upside-down U.
- the legs of the U are also referred to as longitudinal bars, the base piece as a transverse bar.
- the backrest frame In the event of frontal impacts (from behind or from the front), the backrest frame is most heavily loaded on the vehicle if the person using the seat is thrown with the trunk and head against the backrest and headrest.
- the longitudinal spars are loaded when they bend around a horizontal axis that is transverse to the direction of travel.
- the crossbeam is loaded on a bend around an axis that forms the intersection between the backrest plane and a vertical plane parallel to the direction of travel.
- the crossbar is subjected to torsion at the points of the headrest attachment.
- the metal part forming the backrest frame should have a cross-sectional area that is matched as precisely as possible to the maximum load that can be withstood at all points.
- Backrest frames which are formed from a curved round tube or extruded profile and which have a constant cross-sectional area over their length, are therefore disadvantageous, since the minimum cross-sectional area caused by the greatest possible stress is also maintained at those points where a high stress is never expected.
- the object on which the invention is based is to provide a backrest frame for a motor vehicle seat, the cross-sectional area of which is adapted to the maximum stress to be expected at the respective points, which consists of a metallic alloy which is more deformable compared to cast alloys and with a sheet metal construction fewer processing steps can be produced.
- a straight metallic, rolled or extruded profile part with an I-shaped cross-sectional area which is constant over the profile length and whose length corresponds to the elongated length of the backrest frame is used as the starting piece.
- the profile part In the longitudinal middle part of the profile part from its web, for example by punching in the
- REPLACEMENT BLA ⁇ (RULE 26) Web normal direction, material removed so that an opening is formed, the largest dimension of which is at least approximately parallel to the profile direction.
- This opening is closed again in a further operation by pressing the two profile belts by means of a pressing device in the length range in which the opening was formed, parallel to the plane of the web and normal to the profile direction, so that both belts move towards each other and thus the web of the profile becomes narrower until the two edges of the opening which lie opposite one another in the web plane normal to the profile direction meet. Then these adjacent edges are joined together by welding.
- the profile part is bent in a U-shape around axes which are at least approximately normal to the profile direction and parallel to the surface formed by the web.
- Fig. 1 shows a backrest frame in a front view.
- Fig. 2 shows the original cross-sectional area of the profile part used as the starting material for the backrest frame (enlarged).
- Fig. 3 shows the undeformed used as the starting material for the backrest frame. Profile part with normal viewing direction on the level of the web. The opening 3 important for the method described here is also shown. Further openings which are used to fasten the backrest frame or to fasten parts to the backrest frame are not shown. The openings are preferably punched.
- Fig. 4 shows the profile part used as the starting material for the backrest frame after it was compressed in its central part in the plane of its web 1 normal to its longitudinal direction so that the elongated opening 3 visible in Fig. 3 in the central part of the profile part closed to a joint 4 has been.
- Fig. 5 shows the changed cross-sectional area in the central region of the profile part.
- Fig. 6 shows the frame of Fig. 1 in a partial side sectional view.
- the central part of the web 1 is preferably removed in the region of the longitudinal center of the profile part, so that an opening 3 is formed which is continuous in the direction normal to the plane of the web 1.
- the partial length of the profile part over which this opening 3 extends corresponds to the length of that region of the backrest frame on which a cross-sectional area that is to be reduced compared to the original profile cross-sectional area is to be formed. This area is located away from the connection points between the backrest frame and the seat frame.
- the width of the opening 3, ie its dimension in the plane of the web normal to the profile direction, is determined on the one hand by the load on the profile part
- REPLACEMENT BLA ⁇ (RULE 26) each has to withstand at certain points, on the other hand due to technical manufacturing circumstances.
- the opening 3 preferably consists of a central region 31 with an approximately constant width, V-shaped regions 32 adjoining it on both sides in the profile direction, in which the width of the opening continuously decreases from the width of the central region with increasing distance therefrom and then to the regions 32 open to approximately part-circular end regions 33.
- the diameter of these partial circles is small compared to the maximum width of the opening 3.
- the provided with such an opening profile part is simply by pressing two press jaws, which rest on the outside of the webs 2 and extend over that length area of the profile part in which the central region 31 of the opening 3 is located and normal to the profile direction, parallel to the plane of the Web 1 to be moved towards each other, deformed to the part shown in Fig. 4.
- the press jaws also extend over the V-shaped regions 32 and are shaped so that they emulate the desired outer contour of this part, only flow movements will take place parallel to the plane of the web during this deformation and thus the web will not be normal at any point bent or thickened to its original level.
- the inclination of the flanks of the V-shaped regions 32 of the opening 3 towards the profile axis (before the deformation) is approximately equal to the inclination with which the belts 32 pass from the wider end regions of the profile part to the narrower central region after the deformation.
- the optimal shape of the opening 3 and the press jaws must be determined by tests on test pieces.
- the opening 3 is narrowed to a joint 4 in its central region 31 and the regions 32 adjoining it.
- the partial surfaces of the web 1 lying against one another at the joint 4 are connected again.
- the best connection method for this is welding. TIG, MIG and laser welding processes are particularly suitable for this purpose for aluminum profiles.
- the profile part After welding, the profile part is bent into a U-shape, as already mentioned above. Since the welding zone is around the neutral zone of this bending deformation, only very little flow processes take place in it. It is therefore generally not necessary to carry out a heat treatment following the welding, by means of which the deformability of the welding zone is increased to the extent necessary for the bending. It may also be possible to weld only after bending.
- the I cross-sectional shape is very advantageous because it fulfills all essential requirements well and is easy to manufacture and process.
- the invention can also be used for backrests made from a support with a multiple I cross-sectional shape or with a U cross-sectional shape. It is essential that the cross section contains two external straps 2 which are connected to one another by one or more webs 1.
