Description

DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION

Titolo dell’invenzione Struttura di scocca a moduli sostituibili. Title of the invention Body structure with replaceable modules.

Campo tecnico a cui L’invenzione riguarda il modo di costruire il complesso portante l'invenzione si riferisce Technical field to which the invention relates to the way of building the complex bearing the invention refers

dell'automobile, cioè la scocca. of the car, i.e. the body.

Corrispondente stato Da alcuni decenni sulle vetture non esiste più il telaio vero e dell’arte Correspondent state For several decades, the real chassis and art have no longer existed on cars

proprio separato dalla carrozzeria.ma si è diffusa la scocca portante interamente saldata e deformabile progressivamente in caso di urto. Essa a parità di resistenza offre un vantaggio in termini di peso rispetto al telaio separato ma i costi di riparazione in caso di incidente di una certa consistenza sono elevati. La presente invenzione riguarda invece un nuovo tipo di struttura: una scocca a moduli sostituibili, con le medesime caratteristiche di resistenza degli altri tipi di scocca ma costruita in maniera tale che non sìa interamente saldata ma che sia invece composta da diverse parti dette moduli unite tra loro tramite giunti meccanici smontabili in modo tale che in caso di danneggiamento di una di queste parti, la si possa smontare e sostituire. separate from the bodywork, but the fully welded load-bearing body has become widespread and can be progressively deformed in the event of a collision. With the same resistance, it offers an advantage in terms of weight compared to the separate frame but the repair costs in the event of an accident of a certain consistency are high. The present invention, on the other hand, concerns a new type of structure: a body with replaceable modules, with the same resistance characteristics as the other types of body but built in such a way that it is not entirely welded but is instead composed of different parts called modules joined together. them by means of removable mechanical joints so that in case of damage to one of these parts, it can be disassembled and replaced.

Problema tecnico da L'invenzione si propone di ridurre in maniera sostanziale il risolvere Technical problem from The invention aims to substantially reduce the solving

problema delle riparazioni conseguenti gli incidenti automobistici sia da! lato economico che concettuale. problem of repairs resulting from car accidents both from! economic and conceptual side.

Vantaggi dell'invenzione In caso di danni di una certa entità, la scocca a moduli Advantages of the invention In the event of damage of a certain entity, the modular body

sostituibili consente di cambiare il modulo danneggiato nell' incidente ordinandone uno nuovo direttamente alla casa costruttrice ed eseguendo tutto il lavoro necessario in una concessionaria autorizzata della casa madre, massimizzando gli utili sia della suddetta casa grazie alla maggior vendita di pezzi di ricambio che della sua rete di assistenza in virtù dell'eliminazione della necessità di dovere eseguire riparazioni in carrozzerie private. replaceable allows you to change the module damaged in the accident by ordering a new one directly from the manufacturer and carrying out all the necessary work in an authorized dealership of the parent company, maximizing the profits of both the aforementioned house thanks to the greater sale of spare parts and its network assistance by virtue of the elimination of the need to carry out repairs in private body shops.

E'oggi un concetto affermato che sostituire è più rapido che riparare ed è proprio questo guadagno temporale a ripercuotersi favorevolmente sul costo finale facendo risparmiare l'utente. Infine, ma non per importanza, riparando anche se con tutte le accortezze del caso una scocca incidentata, essa non avrà mai le stesse caratteristiche meccaniche di rigidità torsione, flessione e resistenza di una scocca nuova a discapito della sicurezza stradale sia di marcia che in caso di nuovo incidente. Niente di tutto questo può invece avvenire risolvendo alla base il concetto di ripristino di un autoveicolo vittima di un sinistro di una certa gravità non riparandolo ma sostituendo il modulo danneggiato grazie alla struttura dì scocca a moduli sostituibili, cosa impossibile da farsi sulle scocche oggi in uso perchè interamente saldate. Today it is a well-established concept that replacing is faster than repairing and it is precisely this time gain that has a favorable impact on the final cost, saving the user. Last but not least, repairing a damaged body, even if with all the necessary precautions, it will never have the same mechanical characteristics of torsional rigidity, bending and resistance of a new body, to the detriment of road safety both when running and in the event of again accident. However, none of this can happen by solving the basic concept of restoring a vehicle victim of a serious accident by not repairing it but replacing the damaged module thanks to the body structure with replaceable modules, which is impossible to do on the bodies in use today. because they are entirely welded.

Descrizione di L'invenzione sarà ora illustrata con riferimento ai disegni come almeno un modo Description of the invention will now be illustrated with reference to the drawings as at least one way

di realizzare segue: to realize follows:

l'invenzione the invention

La figura 1 mostra una vista d'insieme di un'automobile la cui scocca è realizzata in un numero distinto di parti (tre in questo esempio) dette moduli, uniti tra loro da giunti meccanici smontabili 4 . Figure 1 shows an overall view of an automobile whose body is made of a distinct number of parts (three in this example) called modules, joined together by removable mechanical joints 4.

La figura 2 mostra un veicolo visto lateralmente con la struttura di scocca a moduli sostituibili vista in trasparenza attraverso la carrozzeria del veicolo stesso. Figure 2 shows a vehicle seen from the side with the body structure with replaceable modules seen in transparency through the vehicle body.

Si specifica che i moduli 1 e 3 sono preposti ad assorbire l’energia cinetica di eventuali urti deformandosi di conseguenza. It is specified that modules 1 and 3 are designed to absorb the kinetic energy of any impacts, deforming accordingly.

IL modulo 2 invece racchiude il vano passeggeri ed ha una resistenza maggiore degli altri moduli conferitagli dal maggiore spessore delle sue lamiere perimetrali. Module 2, on the other hand, encloses the passenger compartment and has a greater resistance than the other modules given to it by the greater thickness of its perimeter sheets.

La figura 3 illustra invece nel dettaglio almeno un modo per realizzare l'invenzione, ossia come vengono fissati fra loro i vari moduli: Figure 3 instead illustrates in detail at least one way to carry out the invention, that is, how the various modules are fixed together:

Nel disegno grande si vede una sezione del modulo di scocca 1 unita al modulo 2 tramite una sede del tipo maschio/femmina 3 per aumentare la superficie di contatto, e saldamente bloccate in questa posizione da bulloni passanti 4 di opportuno diametro che uniscono i due moduli. The large drawing shows a section of the body module 1 joined to the module 2 by means of a male / female seat 3 to increase the contact surface, and firmly locked in this position by through bolts 4 of suitable diameter that join the two modules .

Nel dettaglio 5 si vede il particolare di un bullone 6 passante attraverso le lamiere dei due moduli 7-8 viste in sezione e saldamente bloccate in posizione dai due dadi 9-10 del bullone stesso. In detail 5 we see the detail of a bolt 6 passing through the sheets of the two modules 7-8 seen in section and firmly locked in position by the two nuts 9-10 of the bolt itself.
