Description

DISPOSITIF D'ASSEMBLAGE DE COUVERCLE POUR TRAPPE A CARBURANT D'UN VEHICULE COVER ASSEMBLY DEVICE FOR A FUEL TRAP OF A VEHICLE

La présente invention est relative à un couvercle et à une pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne pour trappe à carburant d'un véhicule. Une trappe à carburant d'un véhicule comporte classiquement un boîtier venant se loger dans une ouverture emboutie dans la tôle de la caisse du véhicule, une pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne consistant en une pièce recourbée, fixée sur le boîtier, et permettant l'ouverture et/ou la fermeture de la trappe à carburant, et un couvercle venant s'apposer à la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne afin de le recouvrir. L'étape d'assemblage du couvercle sur la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne est assurée par des moyens de fixation du couvercle coopérant avec des moyens de fixation complémentaires de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne. Or, lors de cette étape d'assemblage, la mise en position du couvercle sur la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne peut s'avérer problématique dans la mesure où les défauts éventuels de fabrication de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne se traduisent généralement par un positionnement imparfait dans l'espace des moyens de fixations complémentaires relativement aux moyens de fixation. Ce positionnement imparfait peut conduire alors à un jeu mécanique important entre les moyens de fixation et les moyens de fixation complémentaires ainsi qu'à un affleurement de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne dû à un recouvrement incomplet du couvercle, insatisfaisant d'un point de vue ornemental. Il est connu de corriger ces défauts éventuels de fabrication en modifiant les moules d'injection de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne et du couvercle. Le prix d'un moule d'injection rend cette solution extrêmement coûteuse, peu rentable dans le cas par exemple d'une fabrication en petite série. Par ailleurs cette solution est peu pérenne car toute modification de la pièce d'obturation en forme de cygne conduit à une modification du couvercle, et réciproquement. Ainsi, toute modification nécessite la modification des moules d'injection à la fois de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne et du couvercle. The present invention relates to a lid and a plug-shaped obturating part for a fuel filler of a vehicle. A fuel filler of a vehicle conventionally comprises a housing that is housed in an opening stamped in the sheet metal of the vehicle body, a gooseneck-shaped shutter part consisting of a bent piece fixed to the housing, and allowing the opening and / or closing of the fuel filler, and a cover coming to be affixed to the shutter piece shaped gooseneck to cover it. The step of assembling the lid on the gooseneck-shaped obturating part is ensured by means of fixing the cover cooperating with complementary fixing means of the gooseneck-shaped obturating part. However, during this assembly step, the positioning of the lid on the gooseneck-shaped obturating part can be problematic insofar as the possible defects in the production of the shutter piece in the form of Goosenecks generally result in imperfect positioning in the space of the complementary fastening means relative to the fastening means. This imperfect positioning can then lead to a large mechanical clearance between the fastening means and the complementary fastening means as well as to an outcropping of the shutter piece in the shape of a gooseneck due to an incomplete covering of the cover, which is unsatisfactory. an ornamental point of view. It is known to correct these possible manufacturing defects by modifying the injection molds of the gooseneck-shaped closure part and the cover. The price of an injection mold makes this solution extremely expensive, unprofitable in the case for example of a small series production. Moreover this solution is not durable because any modification of the shutter piece in the shape of a swan leads to a modification of the lid, and vice versa. Thus, any modification requires the modification of the injection molds of both the gooseneck-shaped closure piece and the lid.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier en tout ou partie aux inconvénients précités et consiste à cet effet en un couvercle d'une trappe à carburant d'un véhicule comportant une face externe destinée à être orientée vers l'extérieur du véhicule, une face interne destinée à être orientée vers l'habitacle du véhicule, des moyens de fixation ménagés sur la face interne et destinés à coopérer avec des moyens de fixation complémentaires ménagés dans une pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne ; et caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens de fixation sont conformés pour compenser le positionnement imparfait dans l'espace des moyens de fixations complémentaires relativement auxdits moyens de fixation. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, lesdits moyens de 10 fixation présentent au moins un orifice sensiblement circulaire et au moins une fente. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la fente est de forme oblongue. Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, lesdits moyens de 15 fixation sont ménagés dans une plaque solidaire de la face interne. Avantageusement, le couvercle selon la présente invention comporte en outre des organes de butée ménagés à la périphérie de la plaque. La présente invention concerne également une pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne de trappe à carburant d'un véhicule, destiné à 20 coopérer avec un couvercle conforme à l'invention, et présentant des moyens de fixation complémentaires agencés pour se fixer par encliquetage respectivement dans l'orifice sensiblement circulaire et dans la fente de la face interne du couvercle. La présente invention se rapporte également à un dispositif 25 d'obturation d'une trappe à carburant comportant un couvercle conforme à l'invention, une pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne conforme à l'invention ; les moyens de fixation complémentaires de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne venant se fixer par encliquetage respectivement dans l'orifice sensiblement circulaire et dans la fente de la face interne du couvercle. 30 Ainsi, dans cet exemple, le dispositif selon la présente invention permet de compenser les tolérances dimensionnelles des moyens de fixation complémentaires de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne par la longueur de la fente. D'autre part, outre la fonction d'assemblage du couvercle sur la 35 pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne, la coopération des moyens de fixation avec les moyens de fixation complémentaires autorisent également le guidage et la mise en position précise du couvercle sur la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne. De plus, les organes de butée présents à la périphérie assurent l'appui plan des moyens de fixation complémentaires de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne sur les moyens de fixation du couvercle. Enfin, les évolutions structurelles de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne seront traitées par le déplacement de la position des poinçons qui créent respectivement l'orifice sensiblement circulaire et la fente. Ainsi, des modifications profondes du moule d'injection du couvercle seront évitées, rendant le dispositif pérenne. La présente invention concerne en outre une trappe à carburant d'un véhicule équipée d'un dispositif selon l'invention. La présente invention se rapporte enfin à un véhicule équipé d'une trappe à carburant conforme à l'invention. The present invention aims to remedy all or part of the aforementioned drawbacks and consists for this purpose in a cover of a fuel door of a vehicle having an outer face intended to be oriented towards the outside of the vehicle, a face internal intended to be oriented towards the passenger compartment of the vehicle, fastening means provided on the inner face and intended to cooperate with complementary fastening means formed in a shutter-shaped piece of gooseneck; and characterized in that said fixing means are shaped to compensate for the imperfect positioning in space of the complementary fastening means relative to said fastening means. According to one embodiment of the invention, said fastening means have at least one substantially circular orifice and at least one slot. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the slot is oblong. In one embodiment of the invention, said fixing means are formed in a plate integral with the inner face. Advantageously, the cover according to the present invention further comprises stop members arranged at the periphery of the plate. The present invention also relates to a shutter-shaped obturating part of a vehicle fuel flap adapted to cooperate with a lid according to the invention, and having complementary fastening means arranged to be fixed by snap respectively in the substantially circular hole and in the slot of the inner face of the lid. The present invention also relates to a device 25 for closing a fuel filler door comprising a lid according to the invention, a gooseneck-shaped obturating part according to the invention; the complementary fastening means of the gooseneck-shaped shutter piece being snap-fastened respectively in the substantially circular orifice and in the slot of the inner face of the cover. Thus, in this example, the device according to the present invention makes it possible to compensate the dimensional tolerances of the complementary fixing means of the gooseneck-shaped closure piece by the length of the slot. On the other hand, in addition to the function of assembling the cover on the gooseneck-shaped obturating part, the cooperation of the fastening means with the complementary fastening means also allows the guiding and the setting in precise position of the lid on the shutter piece shaped gooseneck. In addition, the abutment members present at the periphery provide plane support of the complementary fastening means of the gooseneck-shaped closure piece on the means for fixing the cover. Finally, the structural evolutions of the gooseneck-shaped obturating part will be treated by the displacement of the position of the punches which respectively create the substantially circular orifice and the slot. Thus, deep modifications of the lid injection mold will be avoided, making the device durable. The present invention further relates to a fuel filler of a vehicle equipped with a device according to the invention. The present invention finally relates to a vehicle equipped with a fuel trap according to the invention.

D'autres caractéristiques de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée ci-après d'un exemple de mise en oeuvre non limitatif, en faisant référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels : la figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'un boîtier, d'une pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne et d'un couvercle constitutifs d'une 20 trappe à carburant classique d'un véhicule ; la figure 2 est une vue de face de la face interne d'un couvercle selon l'invention ; la figure 3 est une vue de dessus du couvercle représenté à la figure 2 ; 25 la figure 4 est une vue schématique agrandie de dessus des moyens de fixation complémentaires d'une pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne selon l'invention, en position de repos. En figure 1 est illustrée une trappe 1 à carburant classique d'un véhicule comportant un boîtier 2 dans lequel vient se fixer une pièce 30 d'obturation en forme de col de cygne 3. Le boîtier 2 vient se loger dans une ouverture emboutie dans la tôle de la caisse du véhicule, non représentée sur la figure 1. La pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne 3 permet l'ouverture et/ou la fermeture de la trappe 1. En outre, un couvercle 4 vient s'apposer à la pièce d'obturation en 35 forme de col de cygne 3 afin de le recouvrir de manière à ce que la face externe 40 du couvercle 4 soit orientée vers l'extérieur du véhicule. La face externe 40 constitue ainsi un élément esthétique de la trappe 1. Le couvercle 4 conforme à l'invention représenté sur la figure 2 présente une face interne 41 comportant des moyens de fixation se manifestant respectivement par un orifice 5 sensiblement circulaire et par une fente 6 oblongue centrés selon l'axe I-I, la fente 6 étant allongée dans la direction de l'axe I-I. Le couvercle 4 comprend par ailleurs quatre organes de butée 7, ménagés à proximité de la périphérie de la face interne 41. Other features of the present invention will appear on reading the following detailed description of an example of non-limiting implementation, with reference to the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a housing, a gooseneck-shaped shutter and a lid constituting a conventional fuel door of a vehicle; Figure 2 is a front view of the inner face of a lid according to the invention; Figure 3 is a top view of the cover shown in Figure 2; FIG. 4 is an enlarged schematic view from above of the complementary fastening means of a gooseneck-shaped obturating piece according to the invention, in the rest position. FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional fuel filler flap 1 of a vehicle comprising a housing 2 in which a gooseneck-shaped closure piece 3 is fixed. The housing 2 is housed in a recessed opening in the housing. the body of the vehicle body, not shown in Figure 1. The shutter-shaped gooseneck part 3 allows the opening and / or closing of the hatch 1. In addition, a lid 4 is affixed to the obturating piece in the shape of gooseneck 3 to cover it so that the outer face 40 of the cover 4 is oriented towards the outside of the vehicle. The outer face 40 thus constitutes an aesthetic element of the hatch 1. The lid 4 according to the invention shown in FIG. 2 has an inner face 41 comprising fastening means which are respectively manifested by a substantially circular orifice 5 and by a slot 6 oblong centered along the axis II, the slot 6 being elongated in the direction of the axis II. The cover 4 also comprises four stop members 7, formed near the periphery of the inner face 41.

Sur la figure 3 sont également mises en évidence deux zones d'élargissement 8 respectivement de l'orifice 5 et de la fente 6. Les moyens de fixation équipant le couvercle 4 peuvent venir de matière avec le couvercle 4 lui-même, ou bien être ménagés dans une plaque 42 rendue solidaire du couvercle 4, par exemple par soudage, comme représenté à la figure 3. La pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne 3 selon l'invention est équipée de moyens de fixation complémentaires, schématisés à la figure 4 en position de repos, destinés à coopérer avec les moyens de fixation du couvercle 4. Les moyens de fixation complémentaires comportent deux plots 9 s'étendant respectivement suivant l'axe II-II et III-III. Chaque plot 9 comprend deux pattes élastiques 10 d'encliquetage, comprenant chacune un pan incliné se terminant par un ergot 11. La direction des axes II-II et III-III définit la position de repos des pattes élastiques 10. La position de travail est quant à elle définie lorsque les pattes élastiques 10 subissent des contraintes mécaniques dues à la mise en position du couvercle 4 sur la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne 3. En outre, sur chaque plot 9, les deux pattes élastiques 10 sont séparées par une cavité 12. En position de travail, les pattes élastiques 10 convergent dans la cavité 12 de telle sorte que les ergots 11 puissent fléchir en position et faire saillie respectivement dans l'orifice 5 et dans la fente 6 de la face interne 41 du couvercle 4. La position définitive d'encliquetage est obtenue lorsque les pattes élastiques 10 reprennent leur position de repos initiale, avec les ergots 11 retenus contre les parois des zones d'élargissement 8. FIG. 3 also shows two enlargement zones 8, respectively of the orifice 5 and of the slot 6. The fastening means fitted to the cover 4 may be integral with the cover 4 itself, or it may be formed in a plate 42 made integral with the cover 4, for example by welding, as shown in FIG. 3. The gooseneck-shaped obturating part 3 according to the invention is equipped with complementary fastening means, schematized at the end of FIG. 4 in the rest position, intended to cooperate with the cover fixing means 4. The complementary fastening means comprise two studs 9 extending respectively along the axis II-II and III-III. Each stud 9 comprises two resilient snap tabs 10, each comprising an inclined flange terminating in a lug 11. The direction of the axes II-II and III-III defines the rest position of the elastic tabs 10. The working position is as for it defined when the elastic tabs 10 undergo mechanical stresses due to the positioning of the lid 4 on the gooseneck-shaped shutter piece 3. In addition, on each stud 9, the two elastic tabs 10 are separated by a cavity 12. In the working position, the elastic tabs 10 converge in the cavity 12 so that the lugs 11 can bend in position and project respectively into the orifice 5 and into the slot 6 of the inner face 41 of the cover 4. The definitive latching position is obtained when the elastic tabs 10 return to their initial rest position, with the lugs 11 retained against the walls of the enlargement zones 8.

A cet égard, afin que l'encliquetage soit possible, la somme maximale des largeurs des pattes élastiques 10 et de la cavité 12 doit être supérieure au diamètre de l'orifice 5 et à la largeur de la fente 6. Ainsi, un dispositif comportant un couvercle 4 conforme à l'invention tel que représenté en figure 2 ou figure 3, et une pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne 3 conforme à l'invention tel que représenté sur la figure 4, permet de compenser, par la longueur de la fente 6, les tolérances dimensionnelles suivant l'axe I-I des moyens de fixation complémentaires de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne 3. In this respect, in order to make snapping possible, the maximum sum of the widths of the elastic tabs 10 and of the cavity 12 must be greater than the diameter of the orifice 5 and the width of the slot 6. Thus, a device comprising a cover 4 according to the invention as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, and a gooseneck-shaped obturating part 3 according to the invention as represented in FIG. 4, makes it possible to compensate, by the length of the slot 6, the dimensional tolerances along the axis II of the complementary fastening means of the goose-shaped closure piece 3.

D'autre part, la mise en position du couvercle 4 sur la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne 3 lors de l'assemblage des deux éléments est rendue plus précise par le guidage suivant les directions définies respectivement par les axes I-I, IV-IV et V-V, résultant de la coopération de l'orifice 5 et la fente 6 avec les moyens de fixation complémentaires de la pièce d'obturation en forme de col de cygne 3. Enfin, les organes de butée 7 autorisent un appui plan dans la direction de l'axe II-II des moyens de fixation complémentaires sur la face interne 41 du couvercle 4. Bien entendu, l'exemple de réalisation évoqué ci-dessus ne présente aucun caractère limitatif, et d'autres détails et améliorations peuvent être apportés au dispositif selon l'invention, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention où d'autres formes du dispositif peuvent être réalisées. On the other hand, the positioning of the cover 4 on the gooseneck-shaped obturating part 3 during the assembly of the two elements is made more precise by the guidance along the directions defined respectively by the axes II, IV-IV and VV, resulting from the cooperation of the orifice 5 and the slot 6 with the complementary fastening means of the gooseneck-shaped plug piece 3. Finally, the stop members 7 allow a flat support in the direction of the axis II-II complementary fastening means on the inner face 41 of the cover 4. Of course, the exemplary embodiment mentioned above is not limiting in nature, and other details and improvements may be to be provided to the device according to the invention without departing from the scope of the invention where other forms of the device can be realized.
