Abstract

A hybrid component for a vehicle includes at least one metal base portion configured to be attached to a basic structure of the vehicle, at least one stabilizing portion made of plastic for mechanically stabilizing the hybrid component, and at least one main portion made of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic for absorbing forces that act on the hybrid component. The hybrid component is formed, at least in part, as a hollow profile.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hybrid component for a vehicle, the hybrid component comprising:
at least one metal base portion configured to be attached to a basic structure of the vehicle,
at least one stabilizing portion made of plastic for mechanically stabilizing the hybrid component, and
at least one main portion made of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic for absorbing forces that act on the hybrid component,
wherein the hybrid component is formed, at least in part, as a hollow profile, and
wherein the stabilizing portion and/or the main portion have at least one insert in the form of at least one metal insert for local mechanical stabilization of the stabilizing portion and/or of the main portion.

2. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main portion has, at least in part, a flat, main-portion surface.

3. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main portion has, at least in part, a main-portion profile which is formed, at least in part, as a hollow profile.

4. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stabilizing portion is formed, at least in part, in the form of ribs and has at least one of the following mechanical reinforcements: short fibers, long fibers, and particles.

5. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the metal base portion is formed, at least in part, as a hollow profile made of steel, aluminum, or magnesium.

6. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the base portion and/or the stabilizing portion and/or the main portion are connected to at least one of the adjoining portions in a force-transmitting manner by a form fit and/or by a material bond and/or by a force fit.

7. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main portion has a varying cross section in the form of a varying profile cross section over its geometric profile.

8. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hybrid component is formed at least partially as at least one of the following components: a roll bar, a structural component of a seatbattery carrier for electrically powered vehicles, and a structural component of the bodycockpit carrier.

9. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic is a plastic having reinforcing fibers selected from one of the group consisting of glass fibers, aramid fibers, basalt fibers, carbon fibers, or a mixture thereof.

10. A method for producing a hybrid component, the method comprising:
forming a metal base portion configured to be attached to a basic structure of a vehicle,
forming a main portion made of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic for absorbing forces that act on the hybrid component,
forming an intermediate portion made of plastic for mechanically stabilizing the hybrid component,
connecting the base portion, the main portion, and the stabilizing portion together by way of a force fit.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein, for connecting the base portion, the stabilizing portion, and the main portion by way of the force fit, the base portion, the stabilizing portion, and the main portion are laid in a mold and a subsequent injection-molding operation and/or pressing operation is carried out.

12. A hybrid component for a vehicle, the hybrid component comprising:
a metal base portion configured to be attached to a basic structure of the vehicle,
a stabilizing portion made of plastic for mechanically stabilizing the hybrid component, and
a main portion made of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic for absorbing forces that act on the hybrid component,
wherein the hybrid component is formed, at least in part, as a hollow profile, and
wherein the base portion, the main portion, and the stabilizing portion are connected together by way of a force fit.

13. A hybrid component for a vehicle, the hybrid component comprising:
a metal base portion configured to be attached to a basic structure of the vehicle,
a stabilizing portion made of plastic for mechanically stabilizing the hybrid component, and
a main portion made of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic for absorbing forces that act on the hybrid component,
wherein the hybrid component is formed, at least in part, as a hollow profile, and
wherein the main portion is formed in two parts, wherein the two parts include a first part and a second part.

14. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the first part has a varying cross section.

15. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 14 , wherein at a first portion of the first part, the varying cross section forms a form fit with the metal base portion.

16. The hybrid component as claimed in claim 15 , wherein at a second portion of the first part, the varying cross section forms a partial form fit with the stabilizing portion.
