Abstract

A vehicle unit fastening subassembly for vibratory fastening of a vehicle unit, in particular of a motor and/or transmission, to a vehicle structure of a motor vehicle, has at least one first carrier element on the unit side and a second carrier element on the vehicle side. The first carrier element and the second carrier element are connected to each other by a vibration damper, which is arranged at least in part in the first carrier element or in the second carrier element. The vibration damper is fluidically connected to a hydraulic unit by a flow channel, which is arranged adjacent to the vibration damper in a plan view of the vibration damper. A modular system is provided having a vibration damper and a hydraulic unit, wherein the vibration damper is usable either together with the hydraulic unit as a hydraulic vibration damper or without the hydraulic unit as a conventional bearing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vehicle unit fastening subassembly for vibratory fastening of a vehicle unit in a vehicle structure of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a unit-side first carrier element;
a vehicle-side second carrier element;
a vibration damper; wherein the first carrier element and the second carrier element are connected to each other by the vibration damper;
a hydraulic unit; and
a flow channel fluidically connecting the vibration damper to the hydraulic unit, wherein
the hydraulic unit, when the vibration damper is viewed from above, is arranged adjacent the vibration damper, and
the vehicle-side second carrier element is an engine mount or a transmission cross member, wherein
the vibration damper and the hydraulic unit are mounted together in a separate housing which is secured to one of the carrier elements.

2. The vehicle unit fastening subassembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the vibration damper comprises a bearing core and a suspension spring.

3. The vehicle unit fastening subassembly according to claim 2 , wherein
the suspension spring at least partially surrounds the bearing core.

4. The vehicle unit fastening subassembly according to claim 2 , wherein
the bearing core is part of a stop system, wherein the bearing core can strike at least one of the two carrier elements.

5. The vehicle unit fastening subassembly according to claim 4 , wherein
the bearing core is cross-shaped or T-shaped when viewed as a longitudinal section.

6. The vehicle unit fastening subassembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the carrier element which receives the vibration damper has two adjacent recesses,
the vibration damper and the hydraulic unit are received in an associated recess in each case, and
the recesses are covered at least at one side by a cover which, together with the associated carrier element, forms at least a portion of the flow channel.

7. The vehicle unit fastening subassembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the vibration damper is supported by a bearing ring on the carrier element or a separate housing.

8. The vehicle unit fastening subassembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the flow channel extends in a substantially linear manner between the vibration damper and the hydraulic unit.

9. The vehicle unit fastening subassembly according to claim 1 , wherein
the flow channel has a step between the vibration damper and the hydraulic unit.

10. A modular system, comprising:
the vibration damper and the hydraulic unit according to claim 1 , wherein
the vibration damper is optionally used together with the hydraulic unit as a vehicle unit fastening subassembly, or without the hydraulic unit as a bearing for securing the vehicle unit to the vehicle structure.
