Patent number: 11970211Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a deformation device for a motor vehicle. The deformation device comprises a support structure and a charging module which is fixed to the support structure at two mutually spaced connecting elements. The support structure comprises a target bend region which is arranged between the at least two connecting elements. The support structure is designed to bend, at least in regions, at the target bend region in the event of accident-related deformation of said support structure, and as a result press onto the charging module at the target bend region, and release a first connection between the charging module and the support structure formed via a first connecting element of the at least two connecting elements. A further aspect of the present disclosure relates to a motor vehicle having the deformation device.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2020Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Christian Isakiewitsch, Nanne Swierstra, Florian Grosshauser, Sebastian Scheiblecker, Mickael Donnard, Sean O'Brien, Thorsten Adolph

Patent number: 9434230Abstract: A torsion bar system for a vehicle axle, in particular a rear axle, of a two-track vehicle, includes first and second rotary actuators, each of which is associated with a vehicle side, for an active suspension control. Each rotary actuator has at least one motor/gear unit with which torques can be generated and transmitted as actuating forces onto a wheel suspension element via an output lever. The motor/gear units of both rotary actuators are arranged in a common housing which is rotationally fixed to the vehicle body. The housing has at least two attachment points for bracing the vehicle body, wherein the attachment points are spaced from one another across a bearing distance, and the housing is mounted on the vehicle body in a rigid assembly via said attachment points.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Joachim Schmitt, Andreas Schindler, Christian Isakiewitsch
