  • Publication number: 20220381167
    Abstract: A lubricant pan for a vehicle includes a receiving region in which a lubricant is at least temporarily receivable, a first wall element, and a second wall element. A temperature-control channel is disposed between the first wall element and the second wall element and a temperature-control medium is flowable through the temperature-control channel. A core that is porous and permeable to the temperature-control medium is disposed in the temperature-control channel between the first wall element and the second wall element. The temperature-control medium is introducible into the temperature-control channel via a first connector and the temperature-control medium is dischargable from the temperature-control channel via a second connector.

  • Patent number: 11045984
    Abstract: A method for producing a shaped bar from fiber composite material uses a bonding tool which has a heating-up portion. The method includes the steps that a number of fiber tapes provided with a thermoplastic matrix are fed in parallel to the bonding tool, are brought together and heated and bonded in the heating-up portion to form a fiber cord. The fiber cord is subsequently placed by the bonding tool directly into a processing tool or a depositing device designed to place the fiber cord into the processing tool.

  • Patent number: 11014610
    Abstract: A chassis component for a motor vehicle has a core module with at least one first load-conducting element, at least one second load-conducting element and at least one load transfer element connecting the at least one first load-conducting element and the at least one second load-conducting element, and an insert molding. A method for producing the chassis component first of all produces the core module by joining the at least one first load-conducting element and the at least one load transfer element and also the at least one load transfer element and the at least one second load-conducting element, and then overmolds the produced core module.

  • Patent number: 10589476
    Abstract: A method for producing a three-dimensional fiber composite component with fiber bundles which are shaped from a rod- or strand-like initial shape into a predetermined three-dimensional shape of the component by way of a shape defining apparatus. The shape defining apparatus has at least one shaping channel having a first curvature along its longitudinal direction, which is predetermined for the fiber composite component, and forms at least one leading edge. The fiber bundles are pressed against the at least one leading edge of the shaping channel, thereby adopting the predetermined first curvature.

  • Patent number: 10220578
    Abstract: A fiber composite material component has fiber bundles and a matrix of thermoplastic and/or thermosetting material. The fiber bundles are arranged such that they form a profile. Bracing structures are arranged between the fiber bundles. At least two fiber bundles are arranged in a skewed manner with respect to one another and at least one cavity is formed in the region of the intersection of the skewed fiber bundles. Furthermore, a method for producing a fiber composite material component having fiber bundles and a matrix of thermoplastic and/or thermosetting material, is provided.

  • Publication number: 20170157819
    Abstract: A method is provided for producing an injection-molded component with an inlay made of an organo sheet, including the following steps: providing a not yet consolidated endless organo sheet wound on a roll; pulling away a leading section of the endless organo sheet from the roll and introducing the section into a heating unit; heating the section to a temperature above the molding temperature; introducing the heated section into an opened injection mold, without separating the heated section from the endless organo sheet, such that a further section of the endless organo sheet is automatically drawn from the roll and introduced into the heating unit; closing the injection mold and simultaneously severing the heated section from the endless organo sheet; and producing the injection-molded component by molding the severed section and then insert molding or overmolding of the molded section.
