Abstract

A method is provided for producing a motor vehicle body in a hybrid design. The motor vehicle body ( 2 ) has a bodyshell structure ( 1 ) and a floor module ( 4 ). The bodyshell structure ( 1 ) has a structure frame ( 3 ), and the floor module ( 4 ) is a fiber composite component. The method includes passing the structure frame ( 3 ) through a CDC process before connecting the floor module ( 4 ) to the structure frame ( 3 ).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for producing a motor vehicle body in a hybrid design, comprising: providing a bodyshell structure having a structure frame; providing a floor module as a fiber composite component; passing the structure frame through a CDC process; and after the CDC process connecting the floor module to the structure frame.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of connecting the floor module to the structure frame comprises introducing the floor module into the bodyshell structure from a lower side of the bodyshell structure and along a joining axis.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the floor module has an inner surface that includes a circumferential surface, the method including connecting the circumferential surface of the floor module to a joining surface of the bodyshell structure.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the floor module receives the bodyshell structure in a supporting manner.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the circumferential surface includes floor circumferential surfaces and rear circumferential surfaces, the floor circumferential surfaces are formed on a floor element of the floor module, the rear circumferential surfaces are formed on a rear wall of the floor module, the floor circumferential surfaces and the rear circumferential surfaces receive the bodyshell structure in a partially supporting manner.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of connecting the floor module to the structure frame comprises sealing the floor module to the bodyshell structure in the region of a joining surface of the bodyshell structure for sealing an interior space in the bodyshell structure into relation to an exterior space facing away from an interior space.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of connecting the floor module to the structure frame comprises connecting the floor module to the bodyshell structure in an integrally bonded manner.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of connecting the floor module to the structure frame comprises connecting the floor module to the bodyshell structure in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting manner.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the floor module has plural parts prior to connection of the floor module to the bodyshell structure, and wherein, prior to connection of the parts of the floor module to the bodyshell structure, the method comprises:
loosely joining the parts to form the floor module model;
inserting the floor module model into the bodyshell structure and, during the insertion, aligning the individual parts in relation to one another for fitting into the bodyshell structure;
connecting the individual parts to the bodyshell structure; and
connecting the individual parts to one another in an integrally bonded and/or form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the floor module has plural parts prior to the step of connecting the floor module to the bodyshell structure, and wherein, prior to connection of the floor module to the bodyshell structure, the method comprises:
joining the parts to form the floor module.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the floor module has plural parts prior to the step of connecting the floor module to the bodyshell structure, and wherein the method further comprises connecting each of the parts individually to the bodyshell structure independently of one another, and then connecting the individual parts to one another in an integrally bonded and/or form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
joining the rear wall into the bodyshell structure and then connecting the rear wall to the bodyshell structure in an integrally bonded and/or form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner,
joining the floor element into the bodyshell structure and then connecting the floor element to the bodyshell structure then connecting the floor element to the bodyshell structure in an integrally bonded and/or form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner,
joining the end wall into the bodyshell structure and then connecting the end wall to the bodyshell structure in an integrally bonded and/or form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner, and
connecting the rear wall, the floor element and the end wall to one another in an integrally bonded and/or form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the individual parts are introduced into the bodyshell structure from a lower side of the bodyshell structure, while moving the individual parts and/or the bodyshell structure along a joining axis.
