• the present invention relates to a hinge of a motor vehicle hood
• the body elements wing support, wing, hood
• Fixing was done in several operations and required successive delicate adjustments, both the games and the outcropping of the elements relative to each other.
• patent FR244299 proposes a multifunction wing support for positioning and fixing bodywork elements. Nevertheless, this support still requires many adjustments before fixing the various elements on the body structure.
• the object of the present invention is to provide an improved indexing device which makes it possible to simplify the operations of fastening the elements of the bodywork on the body structure of the vehicle.
• the invention proposes a cowl articulation of the type mentioned above, characterized in that it comprises at least one means for indexing and / or fixing at least one bodywork element before the vehicle on the body structure of the vehicle.
• the articulation comprises at least one means for attaching a wing support to the body structure of the vehicle.
• the articulation comprises a soleplate carrying the means for fixing the wing support.
• the fastening means may be a set screw.
• the articulation comprises at least one means of indexing and / or fixing the articulation on the body structure.
• the articulation comprises a first which comprises:
• a hinge wall for indexing the hinge relative to the transverse direction
• the articulation comprises a second part which comprises:
• the invention also relates to a use in a motor vehicle of at least one opening hinge for indexing and fixing a side wing on a body structure.
• Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a hinge according to the invention.
• Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the joint and a wing support mounted on a body structure according to the invention.
• Figure 3 shows a sectional view of the front portion of the vehicle according to the invention.
• the axis OL is directed from the rear to the front of the vehicle.
• the vehicle comprises, in particular, at the front a body structure 8 (such as front legs 15, longitudinal members 16) on which various front body elements can be fixed such that wing supports 7, wings 28, a hood 2 (not shown in Figure 1 and 2).
• a body structure 8 such as front legs 15, longitudinal members 16
• various front body elements can be fixed such that wing supports 7, wings 28, a hood 2 (not shown in Figure 1 and 2).
• the vehicle has a general symmetry with respect to a median longitudinal plane. Only one hinge 1 will thus be described as well as its associated environment (in particular the body structure 8 and the bodywork elements).
• the hinge 1 comprises at least one indexing and / or fixing means of at least one front bodywork element on the body structure 8 of the vehicle.
• the hinge 1 comprises a first portion 1 1 and a second portion 12.
• the first portion 1 1 comprises a hinge wall 3 lateral which extends upwards.
• This wall 3 carries a hinge axis D oriented in the transverse direction T.
• On the axis D is articulated a bracket 4 on which is fixed the lower part of the bonnet 2.
• the second part 12 comprises a sole 5 carrying at least one fastening means 6 of a wing support 7 on the body structure of the vehicle 8.
• the fastening means 6 may be two vertical set screws directed towards the high.
• Each hinge 1 also comprises at least one means for indexing and / or fixing the hinge 1 on the body structure 8. According to the embodiment shown in FIG.
• the hinge 1 comprises the hinge wall 3 provided with a fixing hole 9 and a lateral lug 13.
• the lateral lug 13 extends downwards and is provided with a fixing hole 14.
• This wall 3 and this lug 13 make it possible to position the hinge 1 with respect to the transverse direction T and the fixing holes 9, 14 make it possible to fix, for example, by a screw-nut assembly the hinge 1 on the body structure 8.
• the hinge 1 comprises at least one means of indexing and / or fixing a wing support 7 for positioning and fixing the wing support 7 on the hinge 1. As shown in FIG. 2, a wing support 7 is fixed on a hinge 1.
• Each wing support 7 is constituted by a substantially flat and elongate piece, which is made of a rigid material, for example a thermoplastic material, or thermosetting.
• the wing support 7 also has a first part 71 towards the rear and a second part 72 towards the front.
• the first part 71 has fixing holes allowing the passage of the crimped screws 6 and the fixing of the wing support 7 on the hinge 1. These fixing holes are dimensioned such that the wing support 7 is not movable in the three directions, the indexing is carried out thanks to the hinge 1.
• the first portion 71 has a rear leg 22. This rear leg 22 is provided with a rear bearing surface 21 of the wing 28. It also has fixing holes 23 through which the rear end of the support 7 is suitable.
• the second portion 72 has different fixing holes.
• the front end of the second portion 72 is indexable relative to the transverse direction T and is fixed to the spar 16 by means of, for example, a screw-nut assembly 24, 26, 27 passing through the fixing holes.
• the support 7 is also provided with a bridge 17, 18 on each of the parts 71, 72 for attachment of the wing 28 of the vehicle.
• Each bridge 17, 18 has bearing surfaces 19, 20.
• the wing 28 rests (along its upper longitudinal side) on the two bearing surfaces 19, 20 and on the rear bearing surface 21 .
• the flange 28 has a flange 29 which is hooked on the bridges 17, 18 and which is fixed by means of a screw-nut assembly on a wall 30, 32 disposed beneath the bearing surfaces 19, 20. mounting method makes it possible to index and fix a wing
• This process comprises different steps.
• the first step is to fix the hinge 1 on the lower part of the cover 2. Then the cover assembly 2 - articulation 1 is indexed with respect to the longitudinal directions L, vertical V and transverse T on the body structure 8. In particular , the assembly is indexed by means of the wall 3 and the lug 13 relative to the longitudinal direction L and then the assembly is fixed to the body structure 8.
• the hinge wall 3 is fixed on the front foot 15.
• the lateral lug 13 is fixed on the spar 16.
• the wing support 7 is positioned and fixed on the hinge 1 and the body structure 8.
• the wing support 7 is fixed on the hinge 1 of such that the crimped screws 6 pass through the fixing holes of the first part 71 and cooperate with nuts.
• the first part 71 can also be fixed at the level of the rear leg 22 on the front foot 15.
• the second part 72 is indexed with respect to the transverse direction T. The indexing can be achieved by means of a shim of which the thickness (dimension along the transverse axis T) is equal to the spacing "a" between the hood 2 and the added wing thickness (dimension along the transverse axis T) "b" of the wing 28. Then, the second portion 72 is fixed on the spar 16.
• the wing 28 can then be indexed with respect to the three directions L, V, T.
• the adjustment in the vertical direction V is carried out by means of the bearing surfaces 19, 20, 21.
• the adjustment in the longitudinal direction L and transverse direction T is carried out by means of the bridges 17, 18.
• the bridges 17, 18 have fastening holes 33, 25 which are dimensioned in such a way that they allow adjustment according to the longitudinal direction L and in the transverse direction T.
• the invention therefore proposes a hinge 1 hood 2 which facilitates the mounting of the wings 28, the hood and the wing supports 7 of the vehicle.
• the games of each element in relation to the other are respected. This assembly is done quickly, without trial and without the use of expensive tools.
