L'invention concerne une structure pour le support de la caisse d'un véh icule automobile, qui comporte un plateau mobile de support de la caisse.The invention relates to a structure for supporting the body of a ve ve icule automobile, which comprises a movable tray support of the body.
L'invention concerne plus particul ièrement une structure pour le support de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile, structure qui comporte : - un châssis qui s'étend horizontalement,The invention relates more particularly to a structure for supporting the body of a motor vehicle, a structure which comprises: a frame which extends horizontally,
- des moyens de support de la caisse du véh icule automobile, comportant au moins un pied de support qu i est porté par le châssis et qu i est apte à être interposé verticalement entre le châssis et la caisse du véh icule.means for supporting the body of the motor vehicle, comprising at least one support leg which is carried by the chassis and which is capable of being inserted vertically between the chassis and the body of the vehicle.
La fabrication industrielle d'un véhicule automobile comporte plusieurs étapes de fabrication, comme la tôlerie, la peinture et la cataphorèse.The industrial manufacture of a motor vehicle involves several manufacturing stages, such as sheet metal work, painting and cataphoresis.
Au cours de ces étapes, la caisse du véhicule, aussi appelée structure de caisse, est posée sur une structure de support, aussi appelée "portoir", qui supporte le véhicule dans une position stable et sensiblement surélevée, de sorte qu'un opérateur ou une machine est apte à exécuter une tâche sur la caisse du véh icule. De plus, la structure de support est apte à être déplacée pour transporter la caisse du véhicule d'un poste de travail à un autre.During these steps, the vehicle body, also called body structure, is placed on a support structure, also called "rack", which supports the vehicle in a stable and substantially elevated position, so that an operator or a machine is able to execute a task on the vehicle crate. In addition, the support structure is movable to transport the vehicle body from one workstation to another.
A cet effet, la structure de support comporte un châssis horizontal globalement rectangulaire dont un premier et un second longerons sont rel iés entre eux et s'étendent longitud inalement en vis à vis.For this purpose, the support structure comprises a generally rectangular horizontal frame of which a first and a second longitudinal member are interconnected and extend longitudinally opposite.
On connaît une structure du type « luge » , qu i est agencée sous la caisse du véhicule et qui permet de porter la caisse du véh icule, par exemple au cours d'une opération d'appl ication de cire, de mastic, de peinture ou de toute autre substance pâteuse.A sled type structure is known which is arranged under the vehicle body and which makes it possible to carry the body of the vehicle. Veh icule, for example during an application operation wax, mastic, paint or other pasty substance.
De façon connue, le châssis de la structure de support du type luge comporte au moins un pied de support qu i est fixé sur le châssis de la structure de support et qu i est apte à supporter une partie du soubassement de la caisse du véh icule.In a known manner, the frame of the support structure of the sled type comprises at least one support foot which is fixed to the frame of the support structure and which is capable of supporting a portion of the underbody of the vehicle body. .
A cet effet, le pied comporte un plateau supérieur dont une face supérieure d'appu i est apte à coopérer avec une face inférieure d'appu i complémentaire de la caisse du véh icule, pour l'appu i vertical de la caisse.For this purpose, the foot comprises an upper plate whose upper surface appu i is able to cooperate with a lower surface complementary to the crate of the veh icule, for the vertical support of the body.
La face supérieure d'appu i du pied s'étend parallèlement à la face inférieure d'appu i de la caisse, de sorte que le plateau supérieur du pied et la face d'appu i complémentaire de la caisse sont en appui plan, ou en appui l inéaire rectil igne. Dans ce but, la face supérieure d'appui du pied est usinée de façon à présenter une pente parallèle à la face inférieure d'appu i associée de la caisse.The top surface of the base of the foot extends parallel to the underside of the body, so that the upper plate of the foot and the complementary surface of the body are in plane support, or in support of the straight rectilinear. For this purpose, the upper support surface of the foot is machined so as to have a slope parallel to the underside of appu i associated the body.
Toutefois, la pente, ou l'assiette, de la face inférieure d'appu i de la caisse peut être d ifférente d'un type de caisse à un autre.However, the slope, or attitude, of the underside of the box may be different from one type of box to another.
De même, la pente, ou l'assiette, de la face inférieure d'appu i de la caisse varie selon le degré d'incl inaison de la caisse par rapport à la structure de support, par exemple lorsque l'arrière de la caisse est surélevé par rapport à l'avant de la caisse.Likewise, the slope or attitude of the underside of the box varies according to the degree of inclination of the box relative to the support structure, for example when the rear of the box is raised above the front of the box.
Par conséquent, ce type de pied à plateau incl iné est inadapté à une structure de support de caisse qu i est destinée à supporter d ifférents types de caisse de véh icule.Therefore, this type of inclined plate foot is unsuitable for a body support structure that is intended to support different types of vehicle body.
L'invention vise à proposer une structure pour le support de la caisse d'un véh icule automobile qui comporte au moins un pied de support dont un plateau est adapté à une plural ité de types de caisse de véh icule.

Le châssis 1 2 est constitué d'un premier longeron 1 8a et d'un second longeron 18b long itud inaux et parallèles, qu i sont rel iés entre eux par une première traverse avant 20a transversale et une seconde traverse arrière 20b transversale.The chassis 1 2 consists of a first spar 1 8a and a second spar 18b long itud inal and parallel, which i relés them by a first transverse cross 20a transverse and a second transverse cross 20b transverse.
La structure de support 1 0 comporte un premier organe avant 14a et un second organe avant 14b de support d'une partie avant du soubassement de la caisse du véh icule. Le premier 14a et le second 14b organes avant de support comportent par exemple chacun un bras de support 22a, 22b de la caisse, qui est monté pivotant autour d'un axe vertical, grâce à quoi chaque bras de support 22a, 22b est apte à occuper une pluralité de positions.The support structure 1 0 comprises a first front member 14a and a second front member 14b for supporting a front portion of the underbody of the vehicle body. The first 14a and second 14b front support members each comprise for example a support arm 22a, 22b of the body, which is pivotally mounted about a vertical axis, whereby each support arm 22a, 22b is adapted to occupy a plurality of positions.
De plus, la structure de support 10 comporte un premier pied arrière 16a et un second pied arrière 16b de support d'une partie arrière du soubassement de la caisse du véhicule.In addition, the support structure 10 has a first rear leg 16a and a second rear leg 16b support a rear portion of the underbody of the vehicle body.
Afin de faciliter la compréhension de la suite de la description, seul le premier pied arrière 16a de support, qui est représenté aux figures 2 à 4, est décrit dans la suite de la description, le second pied arrière 16b découlant de la description du premier pied arrière 16a de support.In order to facilitate understanding of the following description, only the first rear support leg 16a, which is shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, is described in the following description, the second rear foot 16b resulting from the description of the first back foot 16a support.
Toujours pour faciliter la compréhension de la description, le premier pied arrière 16a de support est appelé « pied de support 16a » par la suite.Still to facilitate the understanding of the description, the first rear support leg 16a is called "support leg 16a" thereafter.
Selon la figure 2, le pied de support 16a comporte essentiellement une embase 24a inférieure, un plateau 26a supérieure d'appui qui est agencé au dessus de l'embase 24a et un moyen d'articulation 28a mécanique qui est interposé entre le plateau 26a supérieure et l'embase 24a inférieure.According to FIG. 2, the support leg 16a essentially comprises a lower base 24a, an upper support plate 26a which is arranged above the base 24a and a mechanical articulation means 28a which is interposed between the upper plate 26a. and the lower base 24a.
L'embase 24a est une pièce métallique parallélépipédique qui est fixée sur le châssis 12 de la structure 10, par exemple par soudage. L'embase 24a délimite un puits 30a central cylindrique qui s'étend verticalement selon un axe vertical A et qui débouche verticalement vers le haut.The base 24a is a parallelepipedal metal part which is fixed on the frame 12 of the structure 10, for example by welding. The base 24a delimits a cylindrical central well 30a which extends vertically along a vertical axis A and which opens vertically upwards.
De plus, l'embase 24a délimite un premier logement 32a cylindrique qui s'étend selon un premier axe transversal B à travers le puits 30a central, le premier axe transversal B étant sécant et orthogonal à l'axe vertical A. Selon les figures 3 et 4, le moyen d'articulation 28a comporte une colonne 34a centrale verticale dont un tronçon inférieur 36a est agencé dans le puits 30a de l'embase 24a.In addition, the base 24a delimits a first cylindrical housing 32a which extends along a first transverse axis B through the central well 30a, the first transverse axis B being secant and orthogonal to the vertical axis A. According to FIGS. 3 and 4, the articulation means 28a comprises a vertical central column 34a of which a lower section 36a is arranged in the well 30a of the base 24a.
Le tronçon inférieur 36a de la colonne 34a centrale délimite un second logement 38a qui est coaxial au premier logement 32a de l'embase 24a, selon le premier axe transversal B.The lower section 36a of the central column 34a delimits a second housing 38a which is coaxial with the first housing 32a of the base 24a, along the first transverse axis B.
Une goupille élastique 40a s'étend à travers le premier logement 32a et le second logement 38a, afin de retenir la colonne 34a sur l'embase 24a.An elastic pin 40a extends through the first housing 32a and the second housing 38a to retain the column 34a on the base 24a.
Ainsi, la colonne 34a est apte à être désolidarisée de l'embase 24a par retrait de la goupille élastique 40a, par exemple pour être remplacée par une colonne différente.Thus, the column 34a is adapted to be disengaged from the base 24a by removing the elastic pin 40a, for example to be replaced by a different column.
La colonne 34a comporte un tronçon supérieur 42a vertical délimitant un premier alésage 46a qui s'étend selon un axe longitudinal C.Column 34a comprises an upper vertical portion 42a delimiting a first bore 46a which extends along a longitudinal axis C.
De même, le tronçon supérieur 42a de la colonne 34a délimite un second alésage 48a qui s'étend selon un second axe transversal D, le second axe transversal D étant sécant et orthogonal à l'axe longitudinal C.Similarly, the upper portion 42a of the column 34a delimits a second bore 48a which extends along a second transverse axis D, the second transverse axis D being secant and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis C.
Le moyen d'articulation 28a comporte un premier moyeu 50a cylindrique longitudinal qui est monté pivotant dans le premier alésage 46a de la colonne 34a, autour de l'axe longitudinal C. Le prem ier moyeu 50a dél imite un perçage cyl indrique 52a qui s'étend coaxialement au second alésage 48a de la colonne 34a, selon le second axe transversal D.The hinge means 28a comprises a first longitudinal cylindrical hub 50a which is pivotally mounted in the first bore 46a of the column 34a, about the longitudinal axis C. The first hub 50a delimits an inductive cylindrical bore 52a which extends coaxially with the second bore 48a of the column 34a, along the second transverse axis D.
De plus, le moyen d'articulation 28a comporte un second moyeu 54a cylindrique transversal qui est monté pivotant dans le perçage cylindrique 52a du premier moyeu 50a, autour du second axe transversal D.In addition, the articulation means 28a comprises a second transverse cylindrical hub 54a which is pivotally mounted in the cylindrical bore 52a of the first hub 50a, around the second transverse axis D.
Le second moyeu 54a comporte un premier tronçon d'extrémité 56a axiale et un second tronçon d'extrémité 58a axiale opposé, qui font chacun saillie transversalement depuis la colonne 34a et qui coopèrent avec le plateau 26a.The second hub 54a has a first axial end portion 56a and a second end portion 58a opposite axial, which each protrude transversely from the column 34a and which cooperate with the plate 26a.
Le plateau 26a est de la forme d'une plaque qui s'étend globalement horizontalement et qui est agencé au dessus de l'embase 24a.The plate 26a is in the form of a plate which extends generally horizontally and which is arranged above the base 24a.
Le plateau 26a comporte une face supérieure 60a globalement horizontale pour l'appui vertical de la caisse du véhicule.The plate 26a has a generally horizontal upper face 60a for the vertical support of the vehicle body.
La face supérieure 60a du plateau 26a est plane, de sorte que la caisse est apte à être en appui plan sur le plateau 26a.The upper face 60a of the plate 26a is flat, so that the box is able to be in plane support on the plate 26a.
Le plateau 26a délimite une lumière 62a débouchante verticalement, qui est traversée par la colonne, de sorte que le plateau 26a s'étend autour du tronçon supérieur 42a de la colonne 34a. De plus, le plateau 26a délimite un premier logement 64a et un second logement 66a cylindriques selon le second axe transversal D, qui sont agencés axialement en vis à vis de façon à déboucher dans la lumière 62a.The plate 26a delimits a vertical opening 62a which is traversed by the column, so that the plate 26a extends around the upper portion 42a of the column 34a. In addition, the plate 26a delimits a first housing 64a and a second housing 66a cylindrical along the second transverse axis D, which are arranged axially opposite to open into the slot 62a.
Le premier tronçon d'extrémité 56a et le second tronçon d'extrémité 58a du second moyeu 54a sont reçus dans le premier logement 64a et le second logement 64b respectivement du plateau 26a, de sorte que le plateau 26a est fixé et lié en rotation sur le second moyeu 54a.The first end section 56a and the second end section 58a of the second hub 54a are received in the first housing 64a and the second housing 64b respectively of the plate 26a, so that the plate 26a is fixed and rotatably connected to the second hub 54a.
Ainsi, le plateau 26a est monté pivotant autour du second axe transversal D, par pivotement du second moyeu 54a dans le perçage cylindrique 52a du premier moyeu 50a, comme l'illustre la flèche F à la figure 4.Thus, the plate 26a is pivotally mounted about the second transverse axis D, by pivoting the second hub 54a in the cylindrical bore 52a of the first hub 50a, as shown by the arrow F in FIG.
De même, de façon simultanée et conjointe, le plateau 26a est monté pivotant autour de l'axe longitudinal C, par pivotement du premier moyeu 50a dans le premier alésage 46a de la colonne 42a, comme l'illustre la flèche E à la figure 3.Similarly, simultaneously and conjointly, the plate 26a is pivotally mounted about the longitudinal axis C, by pivoting the first hub 50a in the first bore 46a of the column 42a, as illustrated by the arrow E in FIG. .
Le premier moyeu 50a est entraîné en pivotement par l'intermédiaire du second moyeu 24a qui relie le plateau 26a. Avantageusement, le premier moyeu 50a est en bronze, constituant ainsi une pièce d'usure du moyen d'articulation 28a.The first hub 50a is pivotally driven through the second hub 24a which connects the plate 26a. Advantageously, the first hub 50a is made of bronze, thus constituting a wear part of the articulation means 28a.
Aussi, une extrémité du second moyeu 54a délimite un trou taraudé 68a, représenté à la figure 3, pour le retrait axial du second moyeu au moyen d'une tige filetée complémentaire (non représentée), notamment pour monter et démonter le moyen d'articulation 28a.Also, one end of the second hub 54a defines a threaded hole 68a, shown in Figure 3, for the axial withdrawal of the second hub by means of a complementary threaded rod (not shown), in particular for mounting and disassembling the hinge means 28a.
Selon un autre aspect, le tronçon supérieur 42a de la colonne 34a, qui s'étend verticalement à travers la lumière 30a du plateau 24a, est d'une forme tronconique de section décroissante vers le haut, afin de favoriser l'insertion du tronçon supérieur 42a dans un logement complémentaire (non représenté) de positionnement de la caisse du véhicule.In another aspect, the upper portion 42a of the column 34a, which extends vertically through the slot 30a of the plate 24a, is of frustoconical shape of decreasing section upwards, in order to favor the insertion of the upper section. 42a in a complementary housing (not shown) for positioning the vehicle body.
