Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a steering wheel with a seamless, the steering wheel rim, the steering wheel spokes and the central area for an airbag cover with tear lines encompassing a molded part made in a casting or injection molding process with a closed surface and optionally a foamed base body.
- the attachment between the base part and the steering wheel rim is associated with additional material expenditure, which runs counter to the general effort to save weight in vehicle construction.
- the folded gas bag is equipped as a molded part with considerable tolerances, so that the assignment of the cover area is not easy, which - since it must be able to be torn open - must not have any particular inherent rigidity and therefore requires the folded gas bag as an abutment. If the gas bag package is too “thin”, the cover is not adequately supported, if it is "thick”, it bulges upwards. Both are undesirable.
- the molded plastic part can be manufactured with a precisely fitting hollow shape, into which the airbag module can subsequently be inserted.
- the airbag module itself cannot be considered as a molded part because of the "soft" surface of the gas bag package, since the predetermined breaking line required in the covering area of the plastic molded part cannot be reproducibly formed.
- the core made of low-melting material can be used in conjunction with the outer shape
- a very precisely dimensioned line of small wall thickness can be created in the plastic molded part, which has a tightly tolerated strength and tears open reliably and immediately when the gas bag is inflated
- sufficiently strong and easily tearable predetermined tear lines can be realized, as well as reinforcement inserts and components acting as a hinge.
- the one-piece production naturally ensures that the steering wheel and cover area are visually and haptically have the same appearance.
- a tin-bismuth alloy that melts at about 114 ° C. is suitable as a material that can be melted out of the core.
- suitable melting waxes or liquids can also be used, since the mold cores need only have a short service life, since the molding times for the plastic molded parts are very short, that is to say in the range from 120 to 240 seconds. A previous cooling of the mold cores can also significantly increase their service life. Further advantages of the method according to the invention result from the fact that the easily melting material used for the cores can be almost completely recovered during melting and can be used again for the production of cores.
- Fig. 1 shows a section through a steering wheel with melting core
- Fig. 2 shows a section through a steering wheel according to FIG. 1 with built-in airbag module
- FIG. 3 shows a section through a steering wheel perpendicular to the section according to FIG. 1.
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a simplified steering wheel 1, which comprises a steering wheel skeleton with spokes 2 and a hub part 2a and a molded plastic part 3 and whose central installation space is occupied by a meltable core 5.
- the core 5 is aligned by means of core pins 7 and screws 6 to the hub part 2a and then placed with the skeleton in a casting or injection mold, not shown, in which the plastic molding 3 is molded.
- the core 5 has a core grade 8 for forming the predetermined breaking point in the cover cap 4, into which a reinforcing insert 4a can be molded in a manner known per se.
- FIG. 2 an airbag module 12 is inserted in the cavity 11, which is formed after the core 5 has melted (see FIG. 1), and is fastened to the hub part 2a by means of the screws 9.
- a rear steering wheel cover 10 is shown in section, which is also fastened to the hub part 2a by means of the screws 6. Otherwise, FIG. 2 corresponds to FIG. 1; further explanations and reference numbers are therefore not necessary.
- Fig. 3 shows a section through the steering wheel perpendicular to the steering wheel axis, but offset by 90 ° with respect to the sections according to FIGS. 1 and 2. This shows the opening 13, which is provided between the molded plastic body 3 and the steering wheel skeleton 2, 2a, in order to be able to install the airbag module 12 in the cavity 11.
