Description

L'invention porte sur un dispositif d'aide au montage manuel d'un revêtement ou coiffe - dit aussi « patin » dans la suite du texte - qui coiffe la semelle d'une pédale de véhicule, en particulier mais non exclusivement d'une pédale de frein ou d'embrayage de véhicule. Elle concerne également un procédé de montage d'un tel patin de pédale de véhicule. Elle concerne enfin un véhicule, en particulier un véhicule automobile, qui présente au moins une pédale avec un patin monté manuellement sur la pédale avec l'aide du dispositif d'aide au montage selon l'invention.The invention relates to a device for assisting in the manual mounting of a coating or cap - also called "skid" in the rest of the text - which covers the soleplate of a vehicle pedal, particularly but not exclusively a brake pedal or vehicle clutch. It also relates to a method of mounting such a vehicle pedal pad. Finally, it relates to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, which has at least one pedal with a pad mounted manually on the pedal with the help of the assembly aid device according to the invention.

Une pédale de véhicule, qu'il s'agisse d'une pédale de frein ou d'embrayage ou même d'accélérateur, comporte une base ou « semelle », le plus souvent métallique, sur laquelle est montée à force, par clippage par exemple, un patin réalisé en une matière de type « antidérapant », c'est-à-dire en métal ou plus fréquemment en caoutchouc ou en matière plastique.A vehicle pedal, whether it is a brake or clutch pedal or even an accelerator, comprises a base or "sole", most often metal, on which is mounted by force, by clipping by for example, a pad made of a material of "non-slip" type, that is to say of metal or more frequently of rubber or plastic.

A l'heure actuelle, on utilise un outil sensiblement cylindrique, que l'on fait rouler sur le patin en position sur la semelle de la pédale pour réaliser le clippage du patin sur la semelle.At present, a substantially cylindrical tool is used, which is rolled on the pad in position on the sole of the pedal to perform the clipping of the pad on the sole.

Ce procédé de clippage par roulage exige l'application d'efforts élevés, et présente des risques de mauvais clippage et de dégradation du patin.This method of clipping by rolling requires the application of high forces, and presents risks of poor clipping and degradation of the pad.

Il y a, par conséquent, nécessité de perfectionner le procédé de montage du patin de pédale.There is, therefore, a need to perfect the method of mounting the pedal pad.

On connaît, selon le document JP 2011215869 A , un procédé de montage manuel d'un patin sur une pédale de véhicule automobile, avec une forme qui autorise un blocage du patin sans efforts pour l'opérateur. L'opérateur de montage maintient avec ses doigts la face revers d'une première paroi latérale du patin de pédale. Une extension d'un dispositif de retenue de patin pénètre dans un trou traversant le patin de pédale avec une mâchoire de verrouillage. Puis, l'opérateur de montage cesse de maintenir ladite première paroi latérale du patin en retirant ses doigts. Enfin, la mâchoire de verrouillage du dispositif de retenue de patin est insérée dans une partie concave d'engrènement du patin et la fin du montage du patin sur la pédale est réalisée.We know, according to the document JP 2011215869 A , a method of manually mounting a shoe on a motor vehicle pedal, with a shape that allows a blockage of the pad without effort for the operator. The mounting operator holds with his fingers the reverse side of a first side wall of the pedal pad. An extension of a shoe retainer penetrates a hole through the pedal shoe with a locking jaw. Then, the mounting operator stops maintaining said first side wall of the pad by removing his fingers. Finally, the locking jaw of the pad retainer is inserted into a concave portion of meshing of the pad and the end of mounting of the pad on the pedal is performed.

On connaît également, selon le document EP 0 319 370 B1 , qui révèle les éléments selon le préambule de la revendication 1, un patin pour pédale d'accélérateur ou d'embrayage de véhicule automobile, lequel patin est du type comprenant une face interne appliquée sur la face d'une plaque support formant pédale. Dans ce patin sont prévus deux ergots, de forme sensiblement conique, qui font saillie de ladite face interne du patin. Un trou borgne est ménagé dans l'axe de chaque ergot et débouche à la face externe du patin. Une gorge est prévue au niveau de la racine des ergots pour permettre le « clippage » de ces derniers sur les bords d'orifices traversants ménagés dans la plaque support de pédale. Pour réaliser le montage automatique de ce patin, on introduit des tiges montées coulissantes sur une semelle dans les trous borgnes des ergots, on applique ensuite le patin ainsi saisi par les tiges contre la face de la pédale, puis on pousse les tiges pour enfoncer et « clipper » les ergots dans ladite face. Enfin, on retire les tiges des ergots et la semelle du contact avec le patin.It is also known, according to the document EP 0 319 370 B1 , which discloses the elements according to the preamble of claim 1, a pad for accelerator pedal or motor vehicle clutch, which pad is of the type comprising an inner face applied to the face of a pedal support plate. In this pad are provided two lugs, substantially conical in shape, which project from said inner face of the pad. A blind hole is formed in the axis of each pin and opens to the outer face of the pad. A groove is provided at the root of the pins to allow "clipping" of the latter on the edges of through holes in the pedal support plate. To achieve the automatic assembly of this pad, it introduces sliding mounted rods on a sole in the blind holes of the lugs, then applies the pad and grasped by the rods against the face of the pedal, then pushes the rods to drive and "Clipper" the lugs in said face. Finally, the pins are removed from the pins and the sole of the contact with the pad.

Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif d'aide au montage manuel d'un patin de pédale de véhicule, qui permette de réaliser un excellent clippage du patin sur la pédale, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'exercer des efforts élevés.The object of the present invention is to provide a device for assisting in the manual mounting of a vehicle pedal pad, which makes it possible to perform an excellent clipping of the pad on the pedal, without it being necessary to exert efforts high.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de fournir un tel dispositif d'aide au montage, qui supprime les risques de dégradation du patin que connaissent les procédés et dispositifs de montage connus de l'art antérieur.Another object of the present invention is to provide such a mounting aid device, which eliminates the risk of degradation of the pad experienced by known methods and mounting devices of the prior art.

En référence aux dessins des figures 1 et 2, on a représenté un patin (figure 1), de référence générale 20, destiné à venir coiffer la base ou « semelle » (figure 2), de référence générale 10, d'une pédale d'un véhicule automobile, par exemple d'une pédale de frein d'un véhicule automobile. La référence 13 désigne l'arbre ou axe de transmission de la pédale, sur lequel est monté rigidement la semelle 10 de la pédale.With reference to the drawings of Figures 1 and 2 , there is shown a skid ( figure 1 ), of general reference 20, intended to cap the base or "sole" ( figure 2 ), of general reference 10, of a pedal of a motor vehicle, for example a pedal brake of a motor vehicle. The reference 13 designates the shaft or transmission axis of the pedal, on which is rigidly mounted the sole 10 of the pedal.

Le patin 20 est immobilisé sur la semelle 10 par clippage, c'est-à-dire par une opération simple d'assemblage qui induit une faible déformation de matière sans écrasement, qui est propre, sûre, et sans zone thermiquement affectée comme il en existe avec la soudure ou le brasage, par exemple. Sur la figure 1, qui représente le patin 20, la référence 22 désigne le clip de fixation du patin 20 sur la semelle 10, lequel clip 22 est destiné, lors de la fixation du patin 20 sur la semelle 10, à venir s'introduire à force dans l'orifice traversant 12, oblong, de la semelle 10.The shoe 20 is immobilized on the soleplate 10 by clipping, that is to say by a simple assembly operation which induces a small deformation of material without crushing, which is clean, safe, and without heat-affected zone as it exists with soldering or brazing, for example. On the figure 1 , which represents the shoe 20, the reference 22 designates the fastening clip of the shoe 20 on the soleplate 10, which clip 22 is intended, during the fixing of the shoe 20 on the soleplate 10, to be introduced forcefully into the 12 through oblong through-hole of the sole 10.

La référence 11 (figure 2) désigne la zone de la semelle 10 qui est coiffée ou « chaussée » par le patin 20, plus précisément par la zone désignée 21 (figure 1) du patin 20, laquelle zone est dite également zone de coiffage ou « de chaussage » patin/semelle.Reference 11 ( figure 2 ) designates the area of the sole 10 that is capped or "paved" by the pad 20, more specifically by the designated area 21 ( figure 1 ) of the shoe 20, which zone is also referred to as a styling area or "footwear" pad / sole.

Selon le principe même de la présente invention, il est prévu un dispositif d'aide au montage manuel, à force, du patin 20 sur la semelle 10.According to the very principle of the present invention, there is provided a device for assisting the manual mounting, by force, of the pad 20 on the soleplate 10.

Ce dispositif selon l'invention est représenté sur le dessin de la figure 3 et il est désigné par la référence générale 30.

Sur ce levier 31 est prévu un moyen de prise d'appui, de référence générale 32, qui est situé à une première extrémité 31A dudit levier 31 et qui permet la prise d'appui du levier 31 sur la semelle 10, comme il sera expliqué plus loin dans le texte. Le dispositif d'aide au montage 30 comporte également un moyen de poussée, de référence générale 33, qui est situé en saillie du levier 31 et à une distance « D » prédéterminée de la première extrémité 31A du levier 31 pour permettre, comme il sera mieux expliqué dans la suite du texte, de pousser le clip 22 dans l'orifice traversant 12 de la semelle 10 et, par conséquent, d'assurer l'immobilisation du patin 20 sur la semelle 10 de la pédale.This device according to the invention is represented on the drawing of the figure 3 and it is designated by the general reference 30. It has the shape of a tool with a main body, substantially tubular, also designated "lever" and reference 31. On this lever 31 is provided a support means, of general reference 32, which is located at a first end 31A of said lever 31 and which allows the support of the lever 31 on the sole 10, as will be explained later in the text. The mounting aid device 30 also comprises a thrust means, of general reference 33, which is located projecting from the lever 31 and at a predetermined distance "D" from the first end 31A of the lever 31 to allow, as will be better explained in the following text, to push the clip 22 in the through hole 12 of the sole 10 and, therefore, to ensure the immobilization of the pad 20 on the sole 10 of the pedal.

En référence encore au dessin de la figure 3, pour assumer sa fonction de prise d'appui, le moyen de prise d'appui 32 évoqué ci-dessus présente une forme repliée en « U » qui se compose d'une première plaque 32A, rigide, sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal « XX' » du levier 31 et une seconde plaque 32B, rigide, qui prolonge la première plaque 32A et est dirigée sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe « XX' » dudit levier 31.With reference to the drawing of the figure 3 , to assume its bearing function, the bearing means 32 mentioned above has a folded shape in "U" which consists of a first plate 32A, rigid, substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis "XX '" of the lever 31 and a second plate 32B, rigid, which extends the first plate 32A and is directed substantially parallel to the axis "XX'" of said lever 31.

De plus, le moyen de prise d'appui 32 présente une longueur latérale « L » déterminée de façon à permettre, comme expliqué plus loin dans le procédé de montage du patin 20, le positionnement latéral du dispositif de montage 30 en butée sur le patin 20.In addition, the bearing means 32 has a lateral length "L" determined so as to allow, as explained later in the method of mounting the pad 20, the lateral positioning of the mounting device 30 abutting on the pad 20.

Le moyen de poussée 33, évoqué précédemment, présente la forme d'un appui ou tête d'appui 33A. Cette tête d'appui 33A est liée au levier 31 par l'intermédiaire d'un pied tubulaire 33B fixe et rigide, incliné vers le moyen de prise d'appui 32 d'un angle « σ » de l'ordre ou voisin de 45° par rapport à l'axe longitudinal « XX' » du levier 31. La liaison de la tête d'appui 33A sur le pied fixe 33B peut être prévue réglable grâce à la tige 33C, filetée, solidaire de la tête d'appui 33A, qui coopère par vissage avec l'alésage axial taraudé du pied tubulaire 33B.The thrust means 33, mentioned above, has the shape of a support or support head 33A. This bearing head 33A is connected to the lever 31 by means of a fixed and rigid tubular leg 33B, inclined towards the bearing means 32 of an angle "σ" of the order or close to 45 ° relative to the longitudinal axis "XX '" of the lever 31. The connection of the support head 33A on the fixed foot 33B can be provided adjustable through the rod 33C, threaded, secured to the bearing head 33A which cooperates by screwing with the threaded axial bore of the tubular leg 33B.

Cet appui 33 (figure 3) peut être un appui de type choisi parmi les différents appuis suivants : appui à contact de type ponctuel, à contact linéaire ou à contact de type tonneau.This support 33 ( figure 3 ) can be a type of support selected from the following supports: contact type contact point, linear contact or contact type barrel.

En référence aux dessins des figures 4 à 6, le montage du patin 20 sur la semelle 10 s'effectue selon le procédé suivant :

  • on met en place, par chaussage ou coiffage, le patin 20 sur la semelle 10 de la pédale, le clip 22 se trouvant en face de l'orifice traversant 12 de la semelle 10 (figure 4), puis
  • on met en place le dispositif de montage manuel 30 sur le patin 20, la première extrémité 31A du levier 31 étant, par l'intermédiaire du moyen de prise d'appui 32, en appui sous un côté 11 (zone de coiffage patin/semelle) de la semelle 10 de la pédale et le levier 31 étant positionné latéralement en butée sur le patin 20 (figure 5), et enfin
  • on exerce un effort « F » (figure 6) sur la partie libre du levier 31 de façon à permettre la rotation de l'ensemble formé par le patin 20 et le dispositif de montage manuel 30 jusqu'au « clippage » complet du patin 20 sur la semelle 10 de la pédale.
With reference to the drawings of Figures 4 to 6 , the mounting of the pad 20 on the soleplate 10 is carried out according to the following method:
  • the shoe 20 is placed on the soleplate 10 of the pedal by means of footwear or styling, the clip 22 being in front of the through orifice 12 of the soleplate 10 ( figure 4 ) and then
  • the manual mounting device 30 is put in place on the pad 20, the first end 31A of the lever 31 being, by means of the support-holding means 32, resting under one side 11 (styling zone skid / sole ) of the soleplate 10 of the pedal and the lever 31 being positioned laterally abutting on the pad 20 ( figure 5 ), and finally
  • we exert an "F" effort ( figure 6 ) on the free portion of the lever 31 so as to allow rotation of the assembly formed by the pad 20 and the manual mounting device 30 to "clipping" complete pad 20 on the sole 10 of the pedal.

Comme représenté sur les figures 4 à 6, le patin 20 peut avantageusement présenter une bavette latérale désignée par la référence numérique 25.As shown on Figures 4 to 6 , the pad 20 may advantageously have a side flap designated by the reference numeral 25.

On notera que l'effort manuel « F » de l'opérateur de montage est ajustable en fonction de la longueur du bras de levier exercé sur le levier 31.Note that the manual effort "F" of the mounting operator is adjustable depending on the length of the lever arm exerted on the lever 31.

On notera également que le positionnement latéral du dispositif de l'invention peut être réalisé de plusieurs façons différentes, soit en appui latéral contre le profil extérieur du patin 20 ou bien à l'intérieur de ce dernier.It will also be noted that the lateral positioning of the device of the invention can be achieved in several different ways, either in lateral support against the outer profile of the pad 20 or inside the latter.

Le dispositif d'aide au montage manuel de patin 20 de pédale, tel que décrit ci-dessus dans un exemple de réalisation non limitatif de l'objet et de la portée de l'invention, présente de nombreux avantages, parmi lesquels les avantages suivants :

  • il est de mise en place aisée,
  • il permet un montage simple, rapide et sans effort du patin sur la semelle de la pédale,
  • il permet de supprimer tout risque de dégradation du patin lors de ce montage, et
  • il constitue un outil simple, et par conséquent économique d'aide au montage du patin sur la semelle.
