  • the invention relates to a plastic operating resource for vehicle production in a production line, with a stop part which has a fastening section for reversibly detachable fastening to a movable vehicle part and is designed to hold the movable vehicle part relative to the bodyshell on which the movable vehicle part is arranged. to keep in position. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a method for producing a motor vehicle in a production line using one or more plastic operating resources for holding a movable vehicle relative to the bodyshell.
  • the bodyshell When a vehicle is manufactured along a production line, the bodyshell gradually goes through various production steps, such as a painting process or the production of a large number of vehicle parts on the bodyshell.
  • movable vehicle parts such as the vehicle door or the engine compartment or trunk hood, which are movably hinged to the bodyshell, are held in a position relative to the bodyshell in which direct contact between the surfaces of the bodyshell and the vehicle part is avoided.
  • the known plastic operating materials thus serve as a kind of spacer, at least as long as the lock parts of the door and hood locks are not yet installed.
  • the known plastic operating resources have a stop part which has a Fastening section for reversibly detachable fastening to a movable vehicle part of the bodyshell or the bodyshell itself.
  • the stop part also holds the movable vehicle part in a certain position relative to the bodyshell on which the movable vehicle part is arranged.
  • the moving vehicle part(s) must be positioned in different positions relative to the bodyshell.
  • the plastic operating resources can also be used to generate a holding force between the movable vehicle part and the bodyshell. The holding force generated can be overcome by applying a certain disengagement force, which allows the moving vehicle parts to be moved towards the bodyshell.
  • the holding force between the movable vehicle part and the bodyshell is chosen to be so large that unwanted movement of the vehicle part relative to the bodyshell is counteracted.
  • the plastic operating resources can be used to fix the vehicle part or parts relative to the bodyshell, which is necessary, for example, when undergoing cathodic dip painting. During the painting process, the body shell is often rotated around its longitudinal axis, which then causes a movement. of the vehicle parts to the bodyshell should be avoided.
  • Steel operating resources are known in the prior art, which can be mounted between the moving vehicle parts and the bodyshell.
  • these steel resources are unfavorable from an overall economic perspective.
  • a dedicated operating resource has to be designed specifically for each body shape, and on the other hand, when steel operating resources are used, their reuse is necessary because one-time use would not be possible due to the cost of materials.
  • the steel operating materials must be reprocessed after their respective use, for example stripped of paint/cleaned. In addition to further material costs, additional personnel are also necessary.
  • plastic operating materials that can be disposed of after a single use and which are the subject of the invention have become increasingly popular.
  • a separate plastic equipment is used for each position that the movable vehicle part assumes in relation to the bodyshell or for each specific holding force to be overcome.
  • changing the plastic resources at the corresponding plastic equipment changing points always involves a corresponding amount of time and logistical effort.
  • DE 10 2004 0322 50 A1 relates to a paint door holder for locking a vehicle door to a vehicle body in at least one pivoting position, which consists of a holding rod and a spring clip.
  • the spring clip is arranged in a form-fitting manner in a receiving opening in the vehicle door.
  • the holding rod is articulated to a bearing block on the A-pillar of the vehicle and cooperates with the spring clip to lock the vehicle door in a predetermined position relative to the body.
  • US 5,582,446 A relates to a door stabilization clip for holding a vehicle door at a distance from a vehicle frame.
  • the door clip is attached to a flange of the vehicle arm via a clamp body using a pivoting locking lever.

  • a stop and locking part is arranged on the plate body 4, which protrudes into the pivoting path of a vehicle door and holds the vehicle door in its closed position relative to the body.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of showing a plastic operating material for vehicle production in a production line or a method for producing a motor vehicle in a production line, with which vehicle production is possible in a simplified manner with at the same time reduced work and costs.
  • the plastic operating equipment has a stop part that can be locked in different positions relative to the stop part, each position of the adjusting part being relative to the stop part ( i) a specific position of the movable vehicle part relative to the bodyshell and/or (ii) a certain holding force of the movable vehicle part in its position relative to the bodyshell.
  • a guide section for the adjusting part is arranged on the stop part, on which the adjusting part can be fixed in the different locking positions relative to the stop part by means of a plurality of latches formed at intervals from one another.
