Abstract

In a method for manufacturing a structural component for motor vehicles by hot forming of a plate-shaped semi-finished product reinforced of thermoplastic material with embedded continuous fibers several layers of a thermoplastic plastic matrix with and without embedded continuous fibers are formed to a compound.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An organo-sheet for manufacturing a structural component formed as door inner skin, door module, or assembly carrier of a motor vehicle door, the organo-sheet comprising:
a plate-shaped semi-finished product of thermoplastic material with embedded continuous fibers,
wherein at least two intersecting continuous fibers are positioned in only a single layer of a matrix of the semi-finished product in angular positions to each other and wherein respective ones of the at least two intersecting continuous fibers are connected to each other at each of intersection points of the intersecting continuous fibers,
first continuous fibers being oriented in a pull-off direction of a window pane of a window lifter, and
each of second continuous fibers being oriented in a loading direction of at least one additional functional element of the motor vehicle door mounted on the structural component of the motor vehicle door; and
adapters being located in an edge region of the organo-sheet, the adapters having a mounting opening and a plurality of ribs extending out from the mounting opening along a surface of the plate-shaped semi-finished product.

2. The organo-sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the first continuous fibers are oriented in parallel to the guide rails of the window lifter.

3. The organo-sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the second continuous fibers are oriented in a direction of a pull connection between a door lock and a door hinge of the motor vehicle door.

4. The organo-sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the second continuous fibers are oriented in a loading direction of a door closing handle.

5. The organo-sheet according to claim 1 , wherein reinforcing elements are integrated into the organo-sheet in regions of increased load of the structural component.

6. The organo-sheet according to claim 5 , wherein connecting points of the reinforcing elements are arranged in an aperture of the structural component and connected with the structural component by a stabilizing element.

7. The organo-sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the adapters are injection-molded to the organo-sheet in one piece and include paths of force with which a cohesive connection with a reinforcing element is produced, wherein the ribs extend in a fan-like manner from the base portion.

8. The organo-sheet according to claim 7 , wherein the mounting opening expands by forming a correspondingly directed rib structure.

9. An organo-sheet for manufacturing a structural component formed as door inner skin, door module, or assembly carrier of a motor vehicle door, the organo-sheet comprising:
a plate-shaped semi-finished product of thermoplastic material with embedded continuous fibers,
wherein at least two intersecting continuous fibers are positioned in only a single layer of a matrix of the semi-finished product in angular positions to each other and fixed at each of intersection points of the intersecting continuous fibers,
first continuous fibers being oriented in a pull-off direction of a window pane of a window lifter, and
each of second continuous fibers being oriented in a loading direction of at least one additional functional element of the motor vehicle door mounted on the structural component of the motor vehicle door; and
adapters being located in an edge region of the organo-sheet, the adapters having a mounting opening and a plurality of ribs extending from a base portion, wherein the adapters are injection-molded to the organo-sheet in one piece and include paths of force with which a cohesive connection with a reinforcing element is produced, wherein the plurality of ribs extend in a fan-like manner from the base portion.

10. The organo-sheet according to claim 9 , wherein the mounting opening expands by forming a correspondingly directed rib structure.
