Description

Dispositif d'écartement provisoire d'un élément ouvrant sur un élément fixe Provisional spacing device for an element opening on a fixed element
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'écartement provisoire d'un élément ouvrant sur un élément fixe d'une carrosserie d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a device temporarily spacing an element opening on a fixed element of a body of a motor vehicle.
Avant le rattachement définitif d'un élément ouvrant, tel qu'une porte, un capot, ou un hayon, entre autres, sur un élément fixe d'une carrosserie d'un véhicule automobile, il est généralement procédé à des étapes d'application d'un ou plusieurs revêtements, tels que des revêtements de protection ou l'application d'une couche de peinture. Lors de tels traitements, ces éléments ouvrants ne sont pas encore équipés de dispositifs de fermeture définitifs, par exemple des serrures. Pour cette raison, il est prévu des dispositifs d'écartement provisoires qui permettent de maintenir un élément ouvrant dans sa position de fermeture par rapport à l'élément fixe auquel il doit être rattaché.Before the definitive attachment of an opening element, such as a door, a hood, or a hatchback, among others, to a fixed element of a bodywork of a motor vehicle, it is generally proceeded to application steps one or more coatings, such as protective coatings or the application of a paint layer. During such treatments, these opening elements are not yet equipped with definitive closing devices, for example locks. For this reason, temporary spacers are provided which maintain an opening member in its closed position relative to the fixed member to which it is to be attached.
Les documents EP 0 931 895 et FR 2 833 562 décrivent chacun un dispositif de ce type comprenant, d'une part, une platine de fixation destinée à permettre l'ancrage du dispositif dans l'élément fixe, et d'autre part, un corps rattaché à la platine de fixation et formant une butée apte à servir d'appui à l'élément ouvrant.The documents EP 0 931 895 and FR 2 833 562 each describe a device of this type comprising, on the one hand, a mounting plate intended to allow the anchoring of the device in the fixed element, and on the other hand, a body attached to the mounting plate and forming a stop adapted to serve as a support for the opening element.
Toutefois, un des inconvénients de ces dispositifs est leur faible aptitude à subir des efforts et des contraintes exercés par l'élément ouvrant maintenu. En effet, les éléments ouvrants du type portes de voiture, hayons, capots et autres, sont des éléments assez lourds qui sont généralement manipulés de manière peu précise et peu précautionneuse lors de leur installation ou lors du transport de la carrosserie le long de la chaîne d'assemblage. De telles manipulations risquent d'entraîner de nombreux chocs entre le dispositif d'écartement provisoire et l'élément ouvrant, conduisant à des endommagements de la tôle et/ou de la butée de ce dispositif d'écartement provisoire. Ces problèmes peuvent aussi provenir de dispositifs équipant le véhicule lui-même ou disposés sur la chaîne d'assemblage.However, one of the disadvantages of these devices is their low ability to withstand forces and stresses exerted by the retained opening member. Indeed, the opening elements of the type of car doors, tailgates, hoods and the like, are rather heavy elements that are generally handled in an imprecise and not very cautious when installing or transporting the bodywork along the chain. assembly. Such manipulations may cause many shocks between the temporary spacing device and the opening element, leading to damage to the sheet and / or the abutment of this temporary spacing device. These problems can also come from devices equipping the vehicle itself or arranged on the assembly line.
La présente invention a pour but de pallier les inconvénients précédemment évoqués et consiste pour cela en un dispositif d'écartement provisoire d'un élément ouvrant sur un élément fixe d'une carrosserie d'un véhicule automobile, et comprenant, d'une part, une platine de fixation destinée à l'ancrage du dispositif dans l'élément fixe, et d'autre part, un corps rattaché à la platine de fixation et formant une butée apte à servir d'appui à l'élément ouvrant, au moins une partie de la butée étant apte à se déformer de manière élastique sous l'action de contraintes exercées par l'élément ouvrant, caractérisé en ce que la partie déformable de la butée est apte à se déformer selon un axe longitudinal de cette dernière..The object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above and for this purpose consists in a temporary spacing device of an element opening on a fixed element of a bodywork of a motor vehicle, and comprising, on the one hand, a mounting plate for anchoring the device in the fixed element, and on the other hand, a body attached to the mounting plate and forming a stop capable of serving as a support for the opening element, at least a part of the stop being able to deform elastically under the action of stresses exerted by the opening element, characterized in that the deformable portion of the stop is adapted to deform along a longitudinal axis of the latter.
Par élément ouvrant, il convient d'entendre toute partie de carrosserie, telle qu'une portière, un capot, un hayon, qui est mobile par rapport à la carrosserie du véhicule automobile.By opening element, it should be understood any part of the body, such as a door, a hood, a tailgate, which is movable relative to the body of the motor vehicle.
Ainsi, le fait de prévoir une partie de la butée apte à se déformer de manière élastique selon un axe longitudinal permet d'absorber les chocs ayant lieu avec l'élément ouvrant pendant l'opération. De cette manière, la résistance aux efforts est grandement améliorée et toute déformation de l'élément ouvrant, ou rupture du dispositif d'écartement provisoire, à la suite d'un choc est évitée.Thus, the fact of providing a portion of the stop capable of elastically deforming along a longitudinal axis makes it possible to absorb shocks occurring with the opening element during the operation. In this way, the resistance to the forces is greatly improved and any deformation of the opening element, or rupture of the temporary spacing device, following an impact is avoided.
Avantageusement encore, la partie déformable de la butée est apte à se déformer latéralement de part et d'autre d'un axe longitudinal de cette dernière. De manière préférentielle, la butée est destinée à coopérer avec un logement de l'élément ouvrant par complémentarité de forme.Advantageously, the deformable portion of the abutment is able to deform laterally on either side of a longitudinal axis of the latter. Preferably, the stop is intended to cooperate with a housing of the opening element by complementarity of form.
De manière avantageuse, la butée se décompose en une base rattachée à la platine de fixation, et en une tête apte à servir d'appui à l'élément ouvrant et à se déformer de manière élastique sous l'action de contraintes exercées par l'élément ouvrant.Advantageously, the stop is broken down into a base attached to the fixing plate, and a head adapted to serve as a support for the opening element and to deform elastically under the action of stresses exerted by the opening element.
Préférentiellement, la tête possède une surface extérieure sensiblement arrondie en section. Une telle forme permet d'améliorer la répartition des efforts s'exerçant sur la butée. Préférentiellement encore, la tête possède une section constante sur sa hauteur. De manière avantageuse, la base est reliée à la tête par l'intermédiaire d'une zone d'étranglement. Un tel étranglement permet de conférer à un matériau relativement rigide une certaine flexibilité en un point donné tout en conservant une grande solidité mécanique pour le reste de la butée. Préférentiellement, la partie de la butée apte à se déformer possède une amplitude de déformation de l'ordre de 4 mm, soit 2 mm de part et d'autre de la butée pour une déformation latérale. Il s'agit de la tolérance de positionnement généralement admise pour un élément ouvrant de carrosserie automobile. Par ailleurs, la butée est préférentiellement réalisée en un matériau thermoplastique injecté apte à résister à une température de 2000C . Il s'agit généralement de la température des fours destinés au séchage d'un produit de revêtement précédemment appliqué.Preferably, the head has an outer surface substantially rounded in section. Such a shape makes it possible to improve the distribution of the forces exerted on the abutment. Preferably again, the head has a constant section on its height. Advantageously, the base is connected to the head via a throttling zone. Such a throttling makes it possible to confer a certain flexibility on a relatively rigid material at a given point while maintaining a high mechanical strength for the rest of the abutment. Preferably, the portion of the stop capable of deforming has a deformation amplitude of the order of 4 mm, ie 2 mm from and other of the abutment for lateral deformation. This is the generally accepted positioning tolerance for an automotive body opening element. Furthermore, the abutment is preferably made of an injected thermoplastic material capable of withstanding a temperature of 200 ° C. This is usually the temperature of ovens for drying a previously applied coating material.
Avantageusement, le corps formant butée est monobloc. Avantageusement encore, le dispositif est monobloc.Advantageously, the body forming a stop is monobloc. Advantageously, the device is monobloc.
De manière préférentielle, le dispositif d'écartement provisoire comprend un ergot de retenue élastique apte à coopérer avec un bord de l'élément ouvrant pour empêcher son ouverture. Cet ergot permet d'assurer le verrouillage de l'élément ouvrant dans une position de fermeture par rapport à l'élément fixe. Ainsi, lors du déplacement de l'élément fixe le long d'une chaîne d'assemblage, l'élément ouvrant est maintenu dans sa position et ne risque pas de s'ouvrir.Preferably, the temporary spacer device comprises an elastic retaining lug adapted to cooperate with an edge of the opening element to prevent its opening. This lug makes it possible to lock the opening element in a closed position with respect to the fixed element. Thus, during the displacement of the fixed element along an assembly line, the opening element is held in its position and is not likely to open.
La mise en œuvre de l'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description détaillée qui est exposée ci-dessous en regard du dessin annexé dans lequel :The implementation of the invention will be better understood with the aid of the detailed description which is set out below with reference to the appended drawing in which:
La figure 1 est une représentation en perspective d'un dispositif d'écartement provisoire selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a perspective representation of a temporary spacer device according to the invention.
La figure 2 est une vue de dessus du dispositif de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a top view of the device of Figure 1.
La figure 3 est une vue du dispositif de la figure 1 ancré dans un élément fixe de carrosserie et supportant un élément ouvrant.Figure 3 is a view of the device of Figure 1 anchored in a fixed body member and supporting an opening member.

La figure 5 est une représentation d'une variante de réalisation d'un dispositif d'écartement provisoire selon l'invention équipé d'un ergot de retenue élastique.Figure 5 is a representation of an alternative embodiment of a temporary spacer device according to the invention equipped with an elastic retaining lug.
Un dispositif 1 d'écartement provisoire selon l'invention, tel que représenté sur les figures 1 à 4, comprend un corps monobloc conçu à partir d'un matériau thermoplastique mis en forme, et se décomposant en, d'une part, une platine de fixation 2 destinée à permettre l'ancrage temporaire du dispositifA temporary spacing device 1 according to the invention, as represented in FIGS. 1 to 4, comprises a one-piece body made from a shaped thermoplastic material, and which is decomposed into, on the one hand, a platinum 2 to allow the temporary anchoring of the device
1 dans un élément fixe 3 d'une carrosserie d'un véhicule automobile, et d'autre part, une butée 4 s'étendant perpendiculairement et latéralement depuis la platine de fixation 2 selon un axe longitudinal L et apte à servir d'appui à un élément ouvrant 6. La platine de fixation 2 est équipée de moyens d'attache comprenant des perçages 8, 9 destinés chacun à recevoir une vis 25 correspondante.1 in a fixed element 3 of a body of a motor vehicle, and secondly, a stop 4 extending perpendicularly and laterally from the fixing plate 2 along a longitudinal axis L and able to serve as a support for an opening element 6. The fixing plate 2 is equipped with fastening means comprising bores 8, 9 each intended to receive a corresponding screw 25.
La butée 4 présente une section transversale en forme générale de quille et se décompose en une base 11 sensiblement parallélépipédique s'élevant à la verticale de la platine de fixation 2, et une tête 12 sensiblement cylindrique reliée à la base 11 par un rétrécissement de section 13 formant une zone d'étranglement. Ce rétrécissement de section 13 confère à la butée 4, et plus précisément à sa tête 12, d'une part, une flexibilité latérale de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal L de la butée 4, et d'autre part, une flexibilité longitudinale, c'est-à-dire dans l'axe longitudinal L de la butée 4, la section arrondie de la tête 12 permettant alors une répartition optimale des efforts.The abutment 4 has a generally keel-shaped cross section and is broken down into a substantially parallelepipedal base 11 rising vertically from the fixing plate 2, and a substantially cylindrical head 12 connected to the base 11 by a sectional narrowing 13 forming a throttling zone. This narrowing of section 13 confers on the abutment 4, and more precisely on its head 12, on the one hand, a lateral flexibility on either side of the longitudinal axis L of the abutment 4, and on the other hand a longitudinal flexibility, that is to say in the longitudinal axis L of the abutment 4, the rounded section of the head 12 then allowing an optimal distribution of efforts.
Un dispositif 20 d'écartement provisoire tel que représenté sur la figure 5 diffère du dispositif 1 d'écartement provisoire précédemment décrit, par le fait qu'il présente une fonction de verrouillage grâce à un ergot de retenue élastique 21 rattaché à un côté de butée 4 et destiné à coopérer avec un bord du logement 5 de l'élément ouvrant 6 pour empêcher son ouverture au cours de l'étape de revêtement.A temporary spacing device 20 as shown in FIG. 5 differs from the temporary spacer device 1 previously described in that it has a locking function thanks to an elastic retaining lug 21 attached to an abutment side. 4 and intended to cooperate with an edge of the housing 5 of the opening element 6 to prevent its opening during the coating step.
Un utilisateur souhaitant maintenir un élément ouvrant 6 dans une position légèrement écartée par rapport à une position de fermeture d'un élément ouvrant sur un élément fixe 3 d'une carrosserie d'un véhicule automobile, procédera de la façon suivante.A user wishing to maintain an opening element 6 in a position slightly spaced from a closing position of an element opening on a fixed element 3 of a bodywork of a motor vehicle, will proceed as follows.
Initialement, l'élément fixe 3 de la carrosserie est mis en place sur une chaîne de montage le long de laquelle il progresse afin de subir diverses opérations d'assemblage. Cet élément fixe 3 présente des ouvertures destinées à recevoir des éléments ouvrants 6, tels que portières, hayon, capots. Ces ouvertures définissent chacune, par rapport à l'élément fixe 3 de carrosserie, un plan, par exemple sensiblement vertical dans le cas d'une portière, dans lequel se trouve la direction d'articulation. Au cours de ces opérations d'assemblage, les éléments ouvrants 6 sont montés sur l'élément fixe 3 à l'aide de charnières adaptées. Toutefois, ces éléments ouvrants 6 ne sont pas encore équipés des dispositifs de fermeture et serrures définitives. Lorsque la carrosserie est prête à recevoir une application de peinture ou un revêtement de protection, les éléments ouvrants 6 doivent être placés dans une position proche de leur position de fermeture. Ces éléments ouvrants 6 sont maintenus dans une telle position à l'aide du dispositif 1 , 20 d'écartement et de verrouillage provisoire selon l'invention.Initially, the fixed element 3 of the body is placed on an assembly line along which it progresses to undergo various assembly operations. This fixed element 3 has openings for receiving opening elements 6, such as doors, tailgate, hoods. These openings each define, relative to the fixed element 3 of bodywork, a plane, for example substantially vertical in the case of a door, in which is the direction of articulation. During these assembly operations, the opening elements 6 are mounted on the fixed element 3 by means of suitable hinges. However, these opening elements 6 are not yet equipped with closing devices and definitive locks. When the body is ready to receive a paint application or a protective coating, the opening elements 6 must be placed in a position close to their closed position. These opening elements 6 are held in such a position by means of the spacing device 1, 20 and temporary locking according to the invention.
Pour ce faire, le dispositif 1 , 20 d'écartement provisoire est ancré, à l'aide de vis 25 traversant les perçages 8, 9 de la platine de fixation 2, dans l'élément fixe 3 au niveau d'une zone de fixation (non visible). La platine de fixation 2 définit un plan d'ancrage sensiblement parallèle au plan défini par l'ouverture dans l'élément fixe 3 correspondant à l'élément ouvrant 6 que l'on souhaite supporter et dans lequel se situe l'axe longitudinal L de la butée 4. Plus précisément, le dispositif 1 , 20 d'écartement provisoire est prévu pour être fixé temporairement à la place d'une serrure de l'élément ouvrant 6, la platine de fixation 2 étant alors fixée dans l'élément fixe 3 d'une gâche, tandis que la butée 4 est destinée à être introduite dans un logement 5 de l'élément ouvrant 6 constitué par un espace prévu pour recevoir la serrure définitive.To do this, the temporary spacing device 1, 20 is anchored, by means of screws 25 passing through the bores 8, 9 of the fixing plate 2, into the fixed element 3 at a fastening zone. (non visible). The fixing plate 2 defines an anchoring plane substantially parallel to the plane defined by the opening in the fixed element 3 corresponding to the opening element 6 which it is desired to support and in which the longitudinal axis L of the stopper 4. More specifically, the device 1, 20 temporary spacing is provided to be temporarily fixed in place of a lock of the opening element 6, the fixing plate 2 then being fixed in the fixed element 3 a striker, while the stop 4 is intended to be introduced into a housing 5 of the opening element 6 constituted by a space provided to receive the final lock.
Le dispositif 1 , 20 d'écartement provisoire ainsi mis en place, l'élément ouvrant 6 est amené dans sa position de fermeture de manière à ce que la tête 12 de la butée 4 du dispositif 1 , 20 d'écartement provisoire pénètre dans le logement 5 prévu pour la serrure définitive de l'élément ouvrant 6. Ce faisant l'élément ouvrant 6 prend appui sur la tête 12 de la butée 4 qui assure son support et son maintien dans la position souhaitée.The temporary spacing device 1, 20 thus put in place, the opening element 6 is brought into its closed position so that the head 12 of the abutment 4 of the temporary spacing device 1, 20 enters the housing 5 provided for the final lock of the opening member 6. In doing so the opening member 6 is supported on the head 12 of the abutment 4 which ensures its support and its holding in the desired position.
Lors du transport de la carrosserie à travers la zone d'application du revêtement ou de la peinture, lors de la mise en place de l'élément ouvrant 6, et lors d'éventuelles autres manipulations, l'élément ouvrant 6 est susceptible de subir des contraintes extérieures qui l'amènent à venir heurter le ou les dispositifs 1 , 20 qui assurent son maintien. La flexibilité latérale et longitudinale que confère la tête 12 à la butée 4 permet d'absorber ces éventuels chocs dirigés respectivement vers le haut ou le bas de l'élément ouvrant 6 et vers la droite ou la gauche de l'élément ouvrant 6, et ainsi d'empêcher qu'ils n'entraînent une déformation de l'élément ouvrant 6 et éventuellement une rupture de la butée 4.When transporting the bodywork through the area of application of the coating or paint, during the introduction of the opening element 6, and during any other manipulations, the opening element 6 is likely to undergo external stresses that cause it to come to strike the device or devices 1, 20 which ensure its maintenance. The lateral and longitudinal flexibility conferred by the head 12 on the abutment 4 makes it possible to absorb these possible shocks directed respectively towards the top or the bottom of the opening element 6 and towards the right or the left of the opening element 6, and thus preventing them from causing deformation of the opening element 6 and possibly rupture of the abutment 4.
Avantageusement, l'élément ouvrant 6 peut être verrouillé en position de fermeture par l'intermédiaire de l'ergot de retenue élastique 21 du dispositif 20 d'écartement provisoire. Une fois le revêtement ou la peinture appliqué, les dispositifs 1 , 20 d'écartement provisoires sont retirés et les dispositifs de fermeture définitifs ainsi que les serrures peuvent être installés.Advantageously, the opening element 6 can be locked in the closed position by means of the elastic retaining lug 21 of the temporary spacer device 20. Once the coating or paint is applied, the temporary spacer devices 1, 20 are removed and the final closures and locks can be installed.
Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec des exemples particuliers de réalisation, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci entrent dans le cadre de l'invention. Although the invention has been described in connection with particular embodiments, it is obvious that it is not limited thereto and that it comprises all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if they are within the scope of the invention.
