Description

La présente invention concerne un système de bridage de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile sur un plateau de levage, en particulier pour le bridage sur des plateaux d'un pont élévateur, ainsi qu'un procédé de fixation du véhicule sur un plateau utilisant un tel système de bridage.The present invention relates to a system for clamping the body of a motor vehicle on a lifting platform, in particular for clamping on platforms of a lift, and a method of fixing the vehicle on a platform using a such a clamping system.

Pour effectuer certaines opérations de contrôle ou d'essai en dessous du véhicule, on utilise des ponts élévateurs prenant le véhicule en quatre points sous la caisse afin de l'élever avec une motorisation.To carry out certain control or test operations below the vehicle, lifts are used which take the vehicle in four points under the body in order to raise it with a motor.

Les caisses des véhicules comportent généralement de chaque côté entre les deux roues, un longeron de bas de caisse comprenant une tôle verticale disposée dans un plan longitudinal du véhicule, présentant un bord inférieur formant un plan horizontal. Chaque extrémité du bas de caisse, généralement renforcée, constitue un appui de levage pour soulever le véhicule, notamment avec un cric de levage ou un plateau de pont élévateur.The bodies of the vehicles generally comprise on each side between the two wheels, a rocker spar comprising a vertical sheet disposed in a longitudinal plane of the vehicle, having a lower edge forming a horizontal plane. Each end of the sill, usually reinforced, is a lifting support for lifting the vehicle, including a jack jack or lift platform.

En particulier certains tests sur le véhicule lors de sa conception ou de son développement nécessitent d'effectuer des efforts sur un train roulant pour actionner sa suspension suivant une course importante, et valider des passages d'organes. On peut notamment valider des passages ou des comportements dynamiques de tuyaux ou de faisceaux électriques.In particular some tests on the vehicle during its design or development require effort on a running gear to actuate its suspension in a major race, and validate organ passages. In particular, it is possible to validate passages or dynamic behaviors of pipes or electrical bundles.

Il faut alors comprimer les ressorts de suspension et les butées d'attaque pour actionner les suspensions, en appliquant sur les trains roulants des efforts assez importants pour la compression, par exemple à l'aide d'un cric de levage. Ces efforts sont transmis à la caisse du véhicule, qui peut déraper et se déplacer sur le pont élévateur, ou même tomber de ce pont. En retirant les ressorts de suspension on réduit les efforts à appliquer sur les trains roulants pour actionner les suspensions, mais ces efforts restent quand même relativement importants.It is then necessary to compress the suspension springs and the attacking stops to actuate the suspensions, by applying on the running gear stresses that are sufficiently important for compression, for example by means of a lifting jack. These efforts are transmitted to the vehicle body, which can skid and move on the lift, or even fall off the bridge. Removing the suspension springs reduces the efforts to be applied on the running gear to actuate the suspensions, but these efforts are still relatively important.

Pour fixer la caisse du véhicule sur un pont élévateur, on peut utiliser des éléments de serrage comme des serre-joints prenant à la fois la caisse du véhicule et un bras du pont élévateur. Toutefois ces éléments sont encombrants, et présentent des barres dépassant sur les côtés du véhicule qui peuvent blesser des personnes.To secure the vehicle body to a lift, clamping elements can be used, such as clamps taking both the body of the vehicle and an arm of the lift. However these elements are bulky, and have bars protruding on the sides of the vehicle that can injure people.

Un système de bridage selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est connu du document EP 1 468 755 A1 .A clamping system according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the document EP 1 468 755 A1 .

Un type de pont élévateur prévu pour soulever des véhicules automobiles fixés dessus, présenté notamment par le document EP-B1-0183834 , comporte deux colonnes comprenant chacune un support coulissant verticalement avec des mouvements synchronisés.A type of lift intended to lift motor vehicles fixed on it, presented in particular by the document EP-B1-0183834 , comprises two columns each comprising a vertically sliding support with synchronized movements.

Chaque support comporte deux bras télescopiques pivotants, fixés à ce support par un pivot d'axe vertical afin de permettre un débattement dans le plan horizontal. Les extrémités extérieures des bras télescopiques comportent un plateau de levage prévu pour recevoir l'appui de la caisse.Each support comprises two pivoting telescopic arms, fixed to this support by a pivot of vertical axis to allow a movement in the horizontal plane. The outer ends of the telescopic arms comprise a lifting plate provided to receive the support of the body.

Pour le levage d'un véhicule introduit entre les deux colonnes, un opérateur règle la longueur et l'inclinaison de chaque bras télescopique afin de disposer son plateau d'extrémité sous un appui de levage de la caisse.For lifting a vehicle introduced between the two columns, an operator adjusts the length and inclination of each telescopic arm to have its end tray under a lifting support of the body.

Ce pont élévateur comporte de plus sur chaque support un bras télescopique annexe disposé à l'extérieur des deux bras pivotants, comprenant à son extrémité un plateau prévu pour se fixer sur un moyeu du véhicule, afin de maintenir ce véhicule lors de son basculement autour d'un axe transversal passant par les deux supports.This lift additionally comprises on each support an auxiliary telescopic arm disposed outside the two pivoting arms, comprising at its end a plate adapted to be fixed on a hub of the vehicle, in order to hold the vehicle when it tilts around the vehicle. a transverse axis passing through the two supports.

Toutefois ces bras télescopiques annexes nécessitent de modifier les ponts élévateurs qui ne sont plus standards. De plus ils posent des problèmes d'encombrement vers l'extérieur, et forment des parties en saillie sur les côtés du véhicule sur lesquels des opérateurs peuvent se blesser.However these annexes telescopic arms require to modify the lifts that are no longer standard. In addition they pose congestion problems to the outside, and form protruding portions on the sides of the vehicle on which operators can be injured.

La présente invention a notamment pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients de la technique antérieure.The present invention is intended to avoid these disadvantages of the prior art.

Elle propose à cet effet un système de bridage prévu pour fixer la caisse d'un véhicule automobile sur un plateau de levage, ce véhicule comportant en dessous de chaque bas de caisse un appui de levage comprenant une partie verticale présentant un perçage, ce système de bridage comportant au moins un crochet prévu pour venir en dessous du plateau de levage, comprenant une partie verticale sur laquelle se fixe une pige horizontale prévue pour entrer dans le perçage de l'appui de levage, et comportant un moyen de serrage vertical permettant de resserrer la pige vers le plateau de levage.It proposes for this purpose a clamping system provided for fixing the body of a motor vehicle on a lifting platform, this vehicle comprising below each rocker a lifting support comprising a vertical portion having a bore, this system of clamping comprising at least one hook provided to come under the lifting platform, comprising a vertical part on which is fixed a horizontal pin provided to enter the bore of the lifting support, and comprising a vertical clamping means for tightening the rod to the lifting plate.

Un avantage de ce système de bridage est qu'après avoir soulevé un véhicule avec des plateaux d'un moyen de levage comme un pont élévateur, disposés sous les appuis de levage, on peut facilement et rapidement mettre en position les crochets, puis la pige horizontale traversant ces crochets et le perçage du bas de caisse, et enfin serrer le moyen de serrage afin de brider par cette pige le bas de caisse sur le plateau de levage correspondant.An advantage of this clamping system is that after lifting a vehicle with trays of a lifting means such as a lift, arranged under the lifting supports, one can easily and quickly put in position the hooks, then the freelancing horizontal through these hooks and the drilling of the rocker, and finally tighten the clamping means to clamp by this peg the rocker on the corresponding lifting plate.

On obtient ainsi de manière simple et économique une fixation efficace de la caisse sur ses plateaux de levage, avec des systèmes légers et peu encombrants, qui ne dépassent pas du véhicule ce qui évite des risques d'accident. De plus le pont élévateur n'est pas modifié, ce qui permet d'utiliser des équipements standards.This provides a simple and economical way to effectively secure the body on its lifting trays, with light and compact systems, which do not exceed the vehicle which avoids the risk of accidents. In addition, the lift is not modified, which allows the use of standard equipment.

Le système de bridage selon l'invention peut de plus comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, qui peuvent être combinées entre elles.The clamping system according to the invention may further comprise one or more of the following features, which may be combined with each other.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le moyen de serrage vertical comporte une vis de serrage.According to one embodiment, the vertical clamping means comprises a clamping screw.

Dans ce cas, avantageusement la vis de serrage comporte d'un côté une molette de serrage manuel, et de l'autre un patin de serrage.In this case, advantageously the clamping screw comprises on one side a manual clamping wheel, and on the other a clamping shoe.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le moyen de serrage vertical comporte une tige filetée engagée dans un perçage de la pige, et un écrou serrant cette pige.According to another embodiment, the vertical clamping means comprises a threaded rod engaged in a drilling of the rod, and a nut clamping this rod.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le moyen de serrage vertical comporte une tige lisse liée à un crochet, et un manchon présentant un perçage ajusté sur cette tige, qui se bloque sur cette tige par arc-boutement.According to another embodiment, the vertical clamping means comprises a smooth rod connected to a hook, and a sleeve having a bore fitted on this rod, which locks on this rod by buttressing.

Avantageusement, le système de bridage comporte deux crochets.Advantageously, the clamping system comprises two hooks.

Dans ce cas, la pige peut être engagée dans un perçage de chaque crochet, et comporter un moyen de calage axial venant à l'extérieur des crochets.In this case, the peg may be engaged in a drilling of each hook, and include an axial wedging means coming to the outside of the hooks.

La pige comporte alors avantageusement plusieurs positions axiales permettant des positionnements du moyen de calage axial s'adaptant à différents espacements des deux crochets.The rod then advantageously comprises several axial positions allowing positioning of the axial wedging means adapting to different spacings of the two hooks.

En particulier, le moyen de calage axial peut comporter une goupille ajustée dans un perçage radial de la pige.In particular, the axial wedging means may comprise a pin fitted into a radial bore of the rod.

L'invention a aussi pour objet un procédé de fixation de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile sur un plateau de levage à l'aide d'un système de bridage comprenant l'une quelconque des caractéristiques précédentes, qui comporte une étape de positionnement des crochets et d'introduction de la pige dans ces crochets et dans le perçage de l'appui de levage, et ensuite une étape de serrage de la pige vers le plateau de levage.The invention also relates to a method of fixing the body of a motor vehicle on a lifting plate by means of a clamping system comprising any one of the preceding features, which comprises a step of positioning the hooks and introduction of the pin in these hooks and in the drilling of the lifting support, and then a step of clamping the rod to the lifting plate.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description ci-après donnée à titre d'exemple et de manière non limitative, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 présente un appui de levage arrière formé sur la caisse d'un véhicule ;
  • la figure 2 présente un système de bridage selon l'invention, prévu pour cet appui de levage ;
  • les figures 3 et 4 présentent respectivement vu de dessous et de côté ce système de bridage fixé sur l'appui de levage ;
  • les figures 5 et 6 sont des schémas en coupe axiale de ce système de bridage, fixé respectivement sur un plateau de levage large et étroit ; et
  • la figure 7 est un schéma en coupe axiale d'un système de bridage suivant une variante.
The invention will be better understood and other features and advantages will appear more clearly on reading the following description given by way of example and in a nonlimiting manner, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 has a rear lift support formed on the body of a vehicle;
  • the figure 2 presents a clamping system according to the invention, provided for this lifting support;
  • the Figures 3 and 4 present respectively seen from below and side this clamping system attached to the lifting support;
  • the Figures 5 and 6 are diagrams in axial section of this clamping system, fixed respectively on a wide and narrow lifting platform; and
  • the figure 7 is a diagram in axial section of a clamping system according to a variant.

La figure 1 présente la partie arrière d'un bas de caisse d'un véhicule, comportant une tôle centrale 2 disposée verticalement dans un plan longitudinal, recevant par soudure une tôle de renfort 4 posée à plat dessus, présentant un bord inférieur formant un appui de levage 6 comprenant en son centre un perçage 8.The figure 1 presents the rear part of a sill of a vehicle, comprising a central plate 2 disposed vertically in a longitudinal plane, receiving by welding a reinforcing sheet 4 laid flat on it, having a lower edge forming a lifting support 6 comprising in its center a bore 8.

Le perçage 8 de l'appui de levage 6 forme un point de fixation facile d'accès, permettant notamment d'attacher le véhicule sur un camion de transport avec un crochet.The piercing 8 of the lifting support 6 forms an easily accessible point of attachment, in particular for attaching the vehicle to a transport truck with a hook.

La figure 2 présente un système de bridage sensiblement symétrique par rapport à un plan vertical médian, comportant de chaque côté un crochet 10 formant une équerre présentant une aile verticale comprenant à son extrémité supérieure un perçage recevant de manière ajustée une pige 12.The figure 2 has a clamping system substantially symmetrical with respect to a median vertical plane, having on each side a hook 10 forming a bracket having a vertical wing comprising at its upper end a bore fittingly receiving a pin 12.

L'aile horizontale du crochet 10 comporte un perçage équipé d'un filetage, recevant une vis de serrage 16 comportant à son extrémité inférieure une molette 20 de serrage manuel, et à son extrémité supérieure un patin de serrage 18.The horizontal flange of the hook 10 comprises a bore equipped with a thread, receiving a clamping screw 16 having at its lower end a manual clamping wheel 20, and at its upper end a clamping shoe 18.

La pige 12 comporte à son extrémité droite à l'extérieur du crochet 10 un arrêt axial non visible, qui peut être formé par un bossage, un jonc engagé dans une gorge circulaire, ou une goupille traversant un perçage radial, pour former un arrêt axial venant en appui sur ce crochet.The rod 12 has at its right end outside the hook 10 a non-visible axial stop, which can be formed by a boss, a ring engaged in a circular groove, or a pin passing through a radial bore, to form an axial stop coming to bear on this hook.

La pige 12 comporte à son extrémité gauche un perçage radial recevant une goupille 14 le traversant. En particulier la pige 12 peut présenter plusieurs perçages radiaux régulièrement espacés sur sa longueur.The rod 12 has at its left end a radial bore receiving a pin 14 therethrough. In particular, the pin 12 may have several radial bores regularly spaced along its length.

Les figures 3 et 4 présentent un plateau de levage 30 de forme circulaire, recevant au-dessous suivant son axe un bossage cylindrique 34 prévu pour s'ajuster dans un perçage vertical disposé à l'extrémité d'un bras télescopique d'un pont élévateur, et recevant au-dessus une plaque en élastomère 32 permettant de ne pas abîmer l'appui de levage 6 de la caisse du véhicule.The Figures 3 and 4 have a lifting plate 30 of circular shape, receiving below its axis a cylindrical boss 34 provided to fit into a vertical bore disposed at the end of a telescopic arm of a lift, and receiving above an elastomeric plate 32 to avoid damaging the lifting support 6 of the vehicle body.

La pige 12 est engagée à la fois dans les perçages des deux crochets 10, et dans le perçage 8 de l'appui de levage 6 du bas de caisse.The pin 12 is engaged both in the holes of the two hooks 10, and in the bore 8 of the lifting support 6 of the rocker.

Les patins de serrage 18 viennent en dessous du plateau 30, près du bossage 34, les deux molettes 20 étant serrées pour presser l'appui de levage 6 sur la plaque en élastomère 32 avec une certaine pression, en prenant appui en dessous de ce plateau.The clamping pads 18 come below the plate 30, near the boss 34, the two knobs 20 being tightened to press the lifting support 6 on the elastomer plate 32 with a certain pressure, by pressing below this plate .

De cette manière la pression de l'appui de levage 6 sur la plaque en élastomère 32 donne une très bonne adhérence, qui évite tout risque de glissement de la caisse du véhicule sur le pont élévateur.In this way the pressure of the lifting support 6 on the elastomer plate 32 gives a very good adhesion, which avoids any risk of slippage of the vehicle body on the lift.

La figure 5 présente un exemple de montage de ce système de bridage sur un plateau 30 qui est large. La pige 12 est ajustée dans le perçage du crochet gauche 10 par l'intermédiaire d'une douille 42.The figure 5 shows an example of mounting this clamping system on a plate 30 which is wide. The pin 12 is fitted into the hole of the left hook 10 via a bushing 42.

On met en position les deux crochets 10 en les serrant latéralement sur le plateau 30. On introduit ensuite la pige 12 dans les perçages de ces deux crochets 10 et dans le perçage 8 de l'appui de levage 6, le plateau large 30 laissant un seul perçage radial 40 de cette pige libre à l'extérieur de la douille 42 du crochet gauche. On introduit ensuite la goupille 14 dans le perçage radial extérieur 40.The two hooks 10 are placed in position by clamping them laterally on the plate 30. The pin 12 is then inserted into the holes of these two hooks 10 and into the bore 8 of the lifting support 6, the wide plate 30 leaving a only radial bore 40 of this free pin outside the sleeve 42 of the left hook. The pin 14 is then inserted into the outer radial bore 40.

A la fin on serre les patins de serrage 18 en tournant les molettes 20, de manière à s'adapter à différentes épaisseurs du plateau 30 et de la plaque en élastomère 32.At the end tightening the clamping shoes 18 by turning the knobs 20, so as to adapt to different thicknesses of the plate 30 and the elastomer plate 32.

La figure 6 présente un exemple de montage de ce système de bridage sur un plateau 30 qui est étroit.The figure 6 shows an example of mounting this clamping system on a plate 30 which is narrow.

Lors du serrage latéral des deux crochets 10 sur le plateau 30, plusieurs perçages radiaux 40 sont disponibles à l'extérieur du crochet gauche. On introduit ensuite la goupille 14 dans le perçage radial extérieur 40 qui est au plus près du crochet 10.When lateral clamping of the two hooks 10 on the plate 30, several radial bores 40 are available outside the left hook. The pin 14 is then inserted into the outer radial bore 40 which is closest to the hook 10.

On réalise de cette manière un outil modulaire pouvant s'adapter à différents diamètres de plateau 30 et à différentes épaisseurs, ce qui assure la meilleure solidité du bridage de la caisse sur ce plateau, avec des crochets 10 disposés au plus près du plateau afin de limiter un porte-à-faux.In this way, a modular tool is produced which can adapt to different diameters of plate 30 and to different thicknesses, which ensures the best solidity of the clamping of the box on this plate, with hooks 10 arranged as close as possible to the plate in order to limit a door overhang.

En particulier les plateaux de levage 30 présentent généralement un diamètre maximum d'environ 150mm, et une hauteur maximum avec le patin en élastomère 32 d'environ 40mm. On prévoit alors le système de bridage pour s'adapter au maximum à ces dimensions.In particular, the lifting trays 30 generally have a maximum diameter of about 150 mm, and a maximum height with the elastomer pad 32 of about 40 mm. The clamping system is then provided to adapt as much as possible to these dimensions.

La figure 7 présente un système de bridage suivant une variante comprenant un seul crochet 10 présentant une résistance élevée, dont la partie inférieure vient directement en dessous du plateau 30, sans la vis de serrage 16.The figure 7 presents a clamping system according to a variant comprising a single hook 10 having a high strength, whose lower part comes directly below the plate 30, without the clamping screw 16.

La partie verticale du crochet 10 forme une tige filetée 48. La pige horizontale 12 comporte un perçage vertical dans lequel est inséré la tige filetée 48 du crochet 10.The vertical part of the hook 10 forms a threaded rod 48. The horizontal pin 12 comprises a vertical bore in which is inserted the threaded rod 48 of the hook 10.

La pige 12 comportant à son extrémité droite un bossage 44, est introduite par le côté intérieur du véhicule dans le perçage 8 de l'appui de levage 6, pour mettre ce bossage au contact de cet appui.The rod 12 having at its right end a boss 44, is introduced from the inside of the vehicle into the bore 8 of the lifting support 6, to put this boss in contact with this support.

Ensuite le crochet 10 est mis en position, puis un écrou 46 est serré sur la tige filetée 48 au-dessus de la pige 12, afin de monter ce crochet vers le haut pour serrer la caisse sur le plateau 30.Then the hook 10 is put in position, then a nut 46 is tightened on the threaded rod 48 above the pin 12, to mount this hook upwards to tighten the box on the plate 30.

En complément on peut utiliser deux crochets similaires 10 équipés chacun d'une tige filetée 48, pour maintenir les deux extrémités de la pige 12.In addition one can use two similar hooks each equipped with a threaded rod 48, to hold the two ends of the rod 12.

En variante à la place de l'écrou 46 on peut utiliser un manchon de serrage présentant un perçage ajusté sur une tige verticale du crochet 10 qui est lisse. On serre le pion de serrage avec un choc donné par un marteau, on obtient son blocage par un arc-boutement sur cette tige.Alternatively in place of the nut 46 can be used a clamping sleeve having a bore fitted on a vertical rod of the hook 10 which is smooth. We tighten the clamping pin with a shock given by a hammer, we obtain its blocking by a buttress on this rod.

On réalise de cette manière un montage en porte-à-faux qui est moins encombrant vers le côté intérieur du véhicule, mais qui nécessite un crochet 10 plus résistant.In this way, a cantilever assembly is made which is less bulky towards the interior side of the vehicle, but which requires a stronger hook.
