Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of motor vehicles, and more specifically to the setting in position of an opening on the body of a motor vehicle.
- the opening of a motor vehicle is linked to its body by means of a hinge.
- This hinge allows articulating the opening, between a closed position, in which the opening completely blocks access to the interior of the vehicle by its trunk, and an open position, in which the opening allows the access to the interior of the vehicle by its trunk.
- the hinge is therefore a set of mechanical components essential to the vehicle.
- the establishment of the opening on the vehicle body during assembly of the vehicle must be both accurate and fast to meet a given rate target.
- the opening of the opening on the vehicle body is provided by an operator, this operator is assisted by a robotic arm to help lift the opening and move.
- the hinge of the opening comprises a fitting, secured to the vehicle body, and on which will be fixed the opening. To perform this operation, the operator brings the opening closer to the fitting, then secures the two components using an axis.
- the fitting is generally placed on the body, so that it can be visible and identifiable by the operator, when mounting the opening. However, the fitting, thus disposed on the body, is prone to deterioration by collision with a mechanical component and the exposure of foreign bodies that can accelerate its wear process.
- US 7669916 discloses a structure for the articulation and fixing of an opening of a motor vehicle, comprising a hinge provided with a fixed fitting, secured to the body of the motor vehicle and disposed in a groove, hollowed in the box.
- the opening comprises a movable fitting, adapted to be connected to the fixed fitting by means of an axis.
- the structure comprises a cover, disposed on the groove, so as to cover it completely and thus protect the hinge.
- the cache includes a clip, allowing connect the fitting to the cover. Once the cache is in position, a drilling of the clip is advantageously aligned with a hole of the same size dug in the fixed fitting, so as to secure the fitting of the clip by means of a screw.
- a first objective is to provide a fastener of an opening allowing to easily position an opening, guiding it, and the solidarisant to the body of a vehicle.
- a second objective is to provide a fastener of an opening to protect a hinge, binding the opening to the body of a vehicle, while minimizing the number of parts required for this function.
- a device for fixing an opening of a motor vehicle with a body, this opening including a fixed fitting comprising:
- a swelling insert secured to the reinforcement forming with the reinforcement a space adapted to receive the fixed fitting to prevent its pivoting, when placing the opening on the body.
- swelling insert designates a part comprising a base, for example of polymer material, surmounted by an expansive foam.
- This fixing device facilitates the setting in position of an opening on the body of a vehicle, while avoiding the slightest collision of the mechanical components of the opening with the body. This device makes it possible to properly guide the opening and thus ensures exact positioning, before it is fixed on the body.
- the opening is movable between two positions: an open position in which the fixed fitting is separated from the reinforcement,
- the fixed fitting comprises a first flank and a second flank in contact with the reinforcement, in the closed position of the opening;
- the inflating insert comprises a first section and a second section adapted to guide the fixed fitting, in the closed position of the opening;
- the inflating insert comprises a swelling foam, able to inflate to come into contact with the flag and prevent the rotation of the reinforcement;
- the inflating insert comprises a flap, adapted to surround the reinforcement and prevent rotation.

- FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view, in perspective, of the fixing device of Figure 1;
- FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of the fixing device of Figure 1, shown with the opening in the open position, with two medallions showing two details on an enlarged scale;
- FIG. 4 is a partial sectional view of the fixing device of Figure 1, shown with the opening in the closed position;
- FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view of the fixing device of Figure 1, according to an alternative embodiment.
- FIG 1 a vehicle 1 automobile comprising a device 2 for fixing an opening 3, the fixing device 2 being secured to a body 4 of the vehicle 1 automobile.
- the fastening device 2 comprises a reinforcement 5 integral with the body 4, more specifically the roof 6 of the body 4, the roof 6 being the upper part of the body 4.
- the roof 6 covers the entire passenger compartment of the vehicle 1, and includes an extension 7 projecting perpendicularly from an edge 8 of the roof 6.
- the reinforcement 5 is in the form of a sheet extending projecting from the extension 7.
- This sheet has a wave in profile view and comprises a first plate 9 and a second plate 1 0.
- the first plate 9 is adapted to receive a fixture 1 1 fixed and hold in position by a securing means (for example an axis) to be inserted into a primary hole 12 made in the first plate 9.
- a securing means for example an axis
- the second plate 1 0 is adapted to receive a swelling insert 1 3 and maintain it in position by a securing means which is inserted into secondary holes 14, dug in the reinforcement 5.
- the device allows to position and maintain in position the fixed bracket 1 1, the fixed fitting 1 1 being rotatably mounted relative to a movable fitting 1 5 movable to the opening 3, an axis 16 for connecting the fitting 1 5 mobile, the fixture 1 1 fixed.
- the fixture 1 1 is in the form of a sheet comprising a first sidewall 17 and a second sidewall 18 perpendicular to one another.
- the first side 17 collaborates with the first flat 9 when the opening 3 is in the closed position, as shown in Figure 4.
- the first side 1 7 comprises a tube January 9 extending from a face 20 of upper end of the first flank 17, the tube 1 9 being pierced with a tertiary hole 21 through the first flank 17 and aligned with the primary hole 12, when the opening 3 is in the closed position, so as to secure the fitting 1 1 fixed to the reinforcement 5.
- the second side 1 8 comprises a first hole 22, adapted to accommodate the axis 16 for the articulation of the fixed fitting 1 1 relative to the movable fitting 1 5.
- the movable fitting 15 is in the form of a folded sheet, comprising a second bore 23 adapted to accommodate the axis 16, for the articulation of the fixed fitting 1 1 relative to the fitting 15 mobile, this axis 16 then passing through the fixture 1 1 fixed and the movable fitting 15.
- the fitting 1 5 mobile is directly integral with the opening 3 in that it extends a plate 24, this plate 24 extending projecting from the opening 3.
- the inflatable insert 13 is composed of a U-shaped base 25, adapted to rest on the second plate 1 0 for its positioning in the reinforcement 5.
- the holding in position of the inflatable insert 13 on the reinforcement 5 is made by the securing means, consisting of clips 26 which fit into the secondary holes 14, and projecting from a lower edge 29 of the base 25.
- the inflatable insert 1 3 comprises a tongue 30 composed of a first section 31 extending obliquely projecting from the lower edge 29 of the base 25, and a second section 32 parallel to the base 25. and protruding from the first section 31.
- the second section 32 is hollowed out with a cavity 33, able to surround the tube 19 of the fixed fitting 1 1, when the opening 3 is in the closed position, as shown in FIG. 4.
- the swelling insert 13 When the swelling insert 13 is in position, it forms a space 34 between the second section 32 of its tongue 30 and the reinforcement 5, as shown in the first medallion of FIG. 3.
- the swelling insert 13 also comprises a swelling foam 35 integral with an upper edge 36 of its base 25. This swelling foam 35 takes shape once the swelling insert 13 is placed in position, for the purpose of completely block the swelling insert 13, and prevent its rotation.
- the swelling foam 35 taking shape comes into contact with a lower end face 37 of the roof 6, and exerts a support force (identified by a black arrow pointing to the body 4, on the second medallion of Figure 3) against this lower end face 37.
- This support force then generates a force resulting from the same intensity (marked by a black arrow pointing to the inflatable insert 1 3, the second medallion of Figure 3) whose direction is opposite to the direction of the effort of 'support.
- the sum of the two forces being zero, the swelling insert 13 is totally blocked with respect to the reinforcement 5.
- the positioning of the opening 3 is performed in two steps.
- the first step, illustrated in FIG. 3, consists in bringing together the assembly composed of the opening 3, the mobile fitting, and the fixture 1 1 fixed (mounted in rotation about the axis 1 6), the opening 3 then being in the open position.
- the opening 3, before being put in position, is above the body 4 of the vehicle 1 automobile, it is necessary, in a first step, down the opening 3 manually (the descent being assisted by a robotic arm). In a second step, it is necessary to move the opening 3 parallel to the first flat 9 of the reinforcement 5, so that the roof 6 and the opening 3 are positioned next to each other, and that the first side 1 7 of the fitting 1 1 fixed can be introduced into the space 34.
- the guide of the fixture 1 1 fixed in the space 34 is provided by the holding of the insert 1 3 swelling and its ability not to twist, thanks to its swelling foam.
- a white arrow in Figure 3 illustrates the combination of movements to be made to place the opening 3 in its closed position.
- the space 34 has a width greater than the width of the first sidewall 1 7, in order to ensure the mounting of the fixture 1 1 fixed with the reinforcement 9
- the inflatable insert 13 comprises a flap 38 projecting from the lower edge 29 of the base 25, so that once the insert 1 3 swelling in position on the reinforcement 5, the flap 38 surrounds the second plate 10 of the reinforcement 5.
- the inflatable insert 13 has a second means of anti-rotation and holding in position, the first means being the swelling foam.
- the fixing device 2 which has just been described has several advantages.
- the fastening device 2 keeps in position the inflatable insert 1 3 and prevent it from twisting during assembly of the opening 3.
- the fixing device 2 can effectively guide the fixed fitting 1 1 of the opening 3 for its setting in position with precision, while avoiding damage to the mechanical components by any collision.
- the inflating insert contributes to the sealing and blocks the rotation of the hinge during assembly. Finally, the accuracy of the establishment of the fixture 1 1 fixed on the reinforcement 5 can easily mount and dismount the opening 3.
