The invention can be used to install a rain gutter seal on a vehicle.

Description

Dispositif pour la pose par collage d'un joint sur une surface réceptriceDevice for laying by bonding a seal on a receiving surface
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour la pose par collage d'un joint, tel qu'un joint de jet d'eau, sur une surface réceptrice, en particulier sur un encadrement d'ouverture, notamment de porte de véhicule automobile, par transfert du joint entre un élément porte-joint du dispositif et la surface réceptrice, l'élément porte-joint étant constitué d'au moins un profilé ayant au moins une face contre-profilée à la surface réceptrice destinée à recevoir la partie à fixer du joint et apte à être chaussée de manière amovible par le joint, cet élément porte-joint, couplé à un châssis porteur susceptible d'être immobilisé pendant l'opération de pose, étant apte à être pressé en direction de la surface réceptrice par l'intermédiaire de moyens dits moyens de mise en pression du joint sur la surface réceptrice.The present invention relates to a device for laying by gluing a seal, such as a water jet seal, on a receiving surface, in particular on an opening frame, in particular of a motor vehicle door, by transfer of the joint between a joint-carrying element of the device and the receiving surface, the joint-supporting element consisting of at least one profile having at least one face profiled against the receiving surface intended to receive the part to be fixed with the joint and capable of being detachably paved by the seal, this seal-carrying element, coupled to a support frame capable of being immobilized during the laying operation, being able to be pressed towards the receiving surface via means called means for pressurizing the seal on the receiving surface.
De telles installations du type précité sont connues notamment par le brevet FR-A-2.812.267. Ce brevet décrit un dispositif dans lequel le profilé constituant l'élément porte-joint est embarqué sur un train de têtes d'actionneurs tels que des vérins commandés en déplacement pour l'application du joint en position définitive de pose et le déchaussage entre joint et profilé. L'inconvénient majeur d'un tel dispositif réside dans le fait que l'effort devant être exercé en particulier sur une carrosserie de véhicule pour permettre un fonctionnement optimisé des têtes d'actionneurs est relativement important et peut générer un endommagement, en particulier une déformation irréversible de la carrosserie lorsque le joints à poser sont de grande longueur.Such installations of the aforementioned type are known in particular from patent FR-A-2,812,267. This patent describes a device in which the profile constituting the seal-carrying element is embedded on a train of actuator heads such as jacks controlled in displacement for the application of the seal in the final installation position and the release between seal and profile. The major drawback of such a device lies in the fact that the force which must be exerted in particular on a vehicle body to allow optimized operation of the actuator heads is relatively large and can generate damage, in particular deformation. irreversible of the bodywork when the joints to be installed are very long.
On connaît également, à travers le brevet FR-A-2.781.404, un dispositif pour la pose d'un joint sur une carrosserie de véhicule constitué d'un chariot équipé d'un galet presseur comportant une gorge susceptible de loger au moins une partie du joint, ce galet presseur agissant directement sur le joint au cours de son déplacement pour venir appliquer le joint sur une surface réceptrice à équiper du joint. On constate dans ce cas, du fait d'une liaison directe entre le galet presseur et le joint, un étirement du joint du fait de son élasticité. Cet étirement nuit à la qualité du travail de pose réalisé.Also known, through patent FR-A-2,781,404, is a device for installing a seal on a vehicle body consisting of a carriage equipped with a pressure roller comprising a groove capable of accommodating at least one part of the seal, this pressure roller acting directly on the seal during its movement to apply the seal to a receiving surface to be fitted with the seal. In this case, there is, due to a direct connection between the pressure roller and the seal, a stretching of the seal due to its elasticity. This stretching affects the quality of the installation work performed.
D'autres documents plus éloignés, tels que le modèle d'utilité DE-9010928, décrivent la pose d'un profilé de protection en forme de cavalier au niveau du plan de joint des demi-coquilles constitutives d'un carter d'aspirateur. Le procédé nécessite la mise en œuvre d'une étape de déformation du profilé de protection par l'intermédiaire d'un jeu de rouleaux écartant les ailes du profilé avant une étape de pose à l'aide d'un second jeu de rouleaux. Outre le fait que ce document ne s'applique pas à une garniture adhésive, la pose nécessite d'une part une déformation préalable de la garniture, d'autre part une pose par action directe des rouleaux sur la garniture, ces deux étapes étant incompatibles avec une pose sans déformation d'une garniture adhésive formée d'un joint étirable.Other more distant documents, such as the utility model DE-9010928, describe the installation of a protective profile in the form of a jumper at the joint plane of the half-shells constituting a vacuum cleaner housing. The method requires the implementation of a step of deformation of the protective profile by means of a set of rollers spreading the wings of the profile before a laying step using a second set of rollers. In addition to the fact that this document does not apply to an adhesive lining, the installation requires on the one hand a prior deformation of the lining, on the other hand a laying by direct action of the rollers on the lining, these two steps being incompatible with laying without deformation of an adhesive lining formed by a stretch joint.
L'action directe d'un galet sur une garniture est également décrite dans le brevet DE-10002988.The direct action of a roller on a lining is also described in patent DE-10002988.
Un but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un dispositif de pose par collage de joint dont la conception permet d'une part d'éviter un étirement du joint lors de son collage, d'autre part de permettre la pose de joints de grande longueur sans générer d'endommagement de la carrosserie du véhicule.An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a device for fitting by bonding a joint, the design of which allows on the one hand to avoid stretching of the joint during its bonding, on the other hand to allow the placement of large joints. length without causing damage to the vehicle body.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif pour la pose par collage d'un joint, tel qu'un joint de jet d'eau, sur une surface réceptrice, en particulier sur un encadrement d'ouverture, notamment de porte de véhicule automobile, par transfert du joint entre un élément porte-joint du dispositif et la surface réceptrice, l'élément porte-joint étant constitué d'au moins un profilé ayant au moins une face contre-profilée à la surface réceptrice destinée à recevoir la partie à fixer du joint et apte à être chaussée de manière amovible par le joint, cet élément porte-joint, couplé à un châssis porteur susceptible d'être immobilisé pendant l'opération de pose, étant apte à être pressé en direction de la surface réceptrice par l'intermédiaire de moyens dits moyens de mise en pression du joint sur la surface réceptrice, caractérisé en ce que l'élément porte-joint est relié au châssis porteur par une liaison élastique autorisant un déplacement relatif de l'élément porte-joint par rapport au châssis porteur lorsque l'élément porte-joint est sollicité par les moyens de mise en pression du joint.To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for laying by gluing a seal, such as a water jet seal, on a receiving surface, in particular on an opening frame, in particular of a door of a motor vehicle, by transfer of the seal between a seal-carrying element of the device and the receiving surface, the seal-carrying element consisting of at least one profile having at least one face profiled against the receiving surface intended to receive the part to be fixed to the joint and able to be fitted removably by the joint, this joint-carrying element, coupled to a supporting frame capable of being immobilized during the laying operation, being able to be pressed in the direction of the receiving surface by means of so-called means for pressurizing the seal on the receiving surface, characterized in that the element seal carrier is connected to the support frame by an elastic link allowing relative movement of the seal support element with respect to the support frame when the seal support element is stressed by the pressurizing means of the seal.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante d'exemples de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels : la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'un dispositif conforme à l'invention du côté du dispositif destiné à venir s'appliquer sur la surface à équiper d'un joint ; la figure 2 représente une vue schématique partielle de côté du chariot et des moyens de guidage et de mise en pression du joint du dispositif et la figure 3 représente une vue en perspective du chariot seul.The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description of exemplary embodiments, with reference to the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of a device according to the invention from the side of the device intended for come and apply on the surface to be fitted with a seal; 2 shows a partial schematic side view of the carriage and the means for guiding and pressurizing the seal of the device and FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of the carriage alone.
Comme mentionné ci-dessus, le dispositif 1 , objet de l'invention, permet la pose par collage d'un joint, tel qu'un joint de jet d'eau en matériau élastiquement déformable, généralement en caoutchouc, sur une surface réceptrice, en particulier sur un encadrement d'ouverture, notamment de porte de véhicule automobile. L'opération de pose s'effectue par transfert du joint entre un élément 4 porte-joint du dispositif et la surface réceptrice à équiper d'un tel joint. Ainsi, le joint adhésif est, une fois adhéré à la surface réceptrice, déchaussé de l'élément 4 porte-joint. A cet effet, l'élément 4 porte-joint est constitué d'un profilé ayant au moins une face 4A contre-profilée à la surface réceptrice. Cette face 4A contre-profilée est destinée à recevoir la partie à fixer du joint et est apte à être chaussée de manière amovible par le joint. A cet effet, cette face 4A peut notamment comporter une rainure permettant le logement d'une languette du joint à l'intérieur de ladite rainure et ainsi la fixation du joint à l'élément 4 porte-joint. Cet élément 4 porte-joint est couplé à un châssis 2 porteur mobile susceptible d'être immobilisé pendant l'opération de pose du joint. Au cours de cette opération de pose, l'élément 4 porte-joint est apte à être pressé en direction de la surface réceptrice par l'intermédiaire de moyens dits moyens de mise en pression du joint sur la surface réceptrice. Une fois l'élément porte-joint en position définitive de pose par rapport à la surface réceptrice, le joint est alors adhéré, par activation des moyens de mise en pression du joint, à la surface réceptrice, puis le châssis porteur est déplacé en vue de permettre le déchaussage du joint de l'élément 4 porte-joint.As mentioned above, the device 1, object of the invention, allows the fitting by gluing of a seal, such as a water jet seal made of elastically deformable material, generally rubber, on a receiving surface, in particular on an opening frame, in particular of a motor vehicle door. The laying operation is carried out by transferring the seal between a seal holder element 4 of the device and the receiving surface to be fitted with such a seal. Thus, the adhesive seal is, once adhered to the receiving surface, removed from the seal holder element 4. To this end, the element 4 seal carrier consists of a profile having at least one face 4A counter-profiled to the receiving surface. This counter-profiled face 4A is intended to receive the part to be fixed to the joint and is able to be fitted removably by the joint. For this purpose, this face 4A may in particular comprise a groove allowing the housing of a seal tongue inside said groove and thus the fixing of the seal to the element 4 seal holder. This seal carrier element 4 is coupled to a mobile carrier frame 2 capable of being immobilized during the operation of fitting the seal. During this installation operation, the element 4 seal carrier is able to be pressed towards the receiving surface by means of means known as pressurizing means of the seal on the receiving surface. Once the seal-holder element is in the final installation position relative to the receiving surface, the seal is then adhered, by activation of the means for pressurizing the seal, to the receiving surface, then the supporting frame is moved in view to allow the release of the seal of the element 4 seal holder.
Pour permettre l'optimisation du collage sans générer de déformation du joint, l'élément 4 porte-joint est relié au châssis 2 porteur par une liaison 5 élastique autorisant un déplacement relatif de l'élément 4 porte-joint par rapport au châssis 2 porteur lorsque l'élément 4 porte-joint est sollicité par les moyens 6, 7 de mise en pression du joint. Ainsi, on garantit une application parfaite du joint sur la surface réceptrice en fonction de la pression appliquée sur l'élément 4 porte-joint sans étirement du joint.To allow optimization of the bonding without generating deformation of the joint, the element 4 seal carrier is connected to the chassis 2 carrier by an elastic link 5 allowing a relative displacement of the element 4 carrier seal relative to the chassis 2 carrier when the element 4 seal carrier is biased by the means 6, 7 for pressurizing the seal. Thus, a perfect application of the seal on the receiving surface is guaranteed as a function of the pressure applied to the seal holder element 4 without stretching the seal.
Dans les exemples représentés, l'élément 4 porte-joint est relié au reste du châssis 2 porteur par l'intermédiaire d'organes 5 élastiquement déformables, tels que des lames-ressort. Les moyens 6, 7 de mise en pression du joint sont quant à eux constitués d'au moins un organe 7, tel qu'un galet presseur, déplaçable le long de l'élément 4 porte-joint. Cet organe 7 exerce, au cours de son déplacement, une pression sur l'élément 4 porte-joint tendant à appliquer ce dernier sur la surface réceptrice. Ainsi, ce galet se déplace généralement sur une face du profilé constitutif de l'élément 4 porte-joint. Cette face est opposée à la face 4A du profilé contre-profilée à la surface réceptrice. Pour permettre son déplacement, l'organe 7 presseur, constitué d'un galet rotatif, est monté sur un chariot 6 entraîné manuellement ou automatiquement en déplacement le long d'une surface 3 du châssis 2 porteur. Cette surface 3 du châssis porteur présente un profil identique à celui du profilé prédéterminé de la surface réceptrice à équiper d'un joint. Ainsi, cette surface 3 du châssis 2 porteur guide le chariot 6 suivant une trajectoire fonction du profil prédéterminé de la surface réceptrice à équiper d'un joint. Le galet presseur, embarqué sur un tel chariot 6, suit ainsi une trajectoire parfaitement identique au profil de la surface réceptrice à équiper du joint. Pour permettre l'application d'une pression optimale, le chariot 6 porte-galet 7 est monté à pivotement autour de la surface 3 de guidage du châssis 2 porteur et est équipé d'un vérin 9 provoquant, lors de son actionnement, par appui sur le châssis 2 porteur, le pivotement du chariot 6 et par suite la mise en pression du galet 7 sur l'élément porte-joint. Ainsi, comme l'illustre l'exemple représenté, le chariot porte-galet est constitué d'un corps affectant la forme d'une platine en L. L'une des branches du L, équipée d'une poignée, est munie du vérin 9 portant à l'extrémité de sa tige un organe 13 destiné à venir en contact d'appui roulant sur une surface du châssis 2 porteur. Cette platine est en outre équipée d'organes de roulement 8, tels que des galets, destinés à coopérer avec la surface 3 de guidage du châssis porteur en se déplaçant sur cette dernière. L'autre branche du corps de chariot est équipée à, ou au voisinage de, son extrémité du galet 7 presseur. Du fait que la surface 3 de guidage chariot 6 porte-galet 7 est constituée d'un rail 3A, de section de préférence circulaire, les organes 8 de roulement, disposés de part et d'autre de ce rail en l'enserrant, peuvent, lors d'une extension du vérin 9 et d'un appui de l'élément 13 à contact d'appui roulant sur le châssis 2 porteur, pivoter autour de ce rail 3A en entraînant ainsi l'autre branche du chariot et par suite le galet presseur 7 équipant cette autre branche à venir s'appliquer contre l'élément 4 porte-joint. De manière particulière, le rail 3A de section de préférence circulaire servant de surface 3 de guidage au chariot 6 porte-galet 7 est solidaire d'un profilé 3B relié par l'intermédiaire des lames 5 ressort à l'élément 4 porte-joint. Ce profilé 3B est en outre relié au reste du châssis 2 porteur par l'intermédiaire de vérins 11 aidant à la mise en référence de l'élément 4 porte-joint par rapport à la surface réceptrice du joint. En effet, le positionnement de l'élément porte-joint 4 s'effectue en deux temps, le premier temps étant obtenu par déplacement du châssis 2 porteur, ce châssis 2 porteur étant entraîné en déplacement suivant au moins deux directions par des moyens 10 d'entraînement appropriés, tels que des rails, des chaînes, des vérins ou similaires. Une fois le châssis 2 porteur pré-positionné et mis en référence sur la carrosserie du véhicule à équiper, en particulier à l'aide de moyens de bridage et d'éléments de positionnement référencés en 12 aux figures, les vérins 11 sont activés pour permettre un déplacement de l'ensemble profilés 3B/rail 3A/chariot 6 porte- galet 7 et élément 4 porte-joint en direction de la surface réceptrice du joint de manière à positionner de façon définitive l'élément 4 porte-joint sur la surface à équiper. Le chariot 6 est ensuite entraîné manuellement ou automatiquement en déplacement de manière à permettre au galet 7 de parcourir la totalité de l'élément 4 porte-joint. Une fois ce passage du galet 7 presseur effectué, les vérins 11 peuvent être actionnés dans un sens inverse pour permettre le déchaussage du joint de l'élément 4 porte-joint puis le châssis 2 porteur est dans son ensemble déplacé pour être ramené dans sa position initiale. Une nouvelle opération de pose peut alors être effectuée. Elle nécessitera la mise en place d'un nouveau joint sur l'élément 4 porte-joint préalablement au déplacement de l'ensemble du châssis 2 porteur. Ainsi, une telle opération de pose s'effectue de manière extrêmement rapide et aisée sans risque de générer un allongement du joint ou un endommagement de la carrosserie, en particulier dans le cas de joint de grande longueur. In the examples shown, the seal carrier element 4 is connected to the rest of the carrier frame 2 by means of elastically deformable members 5, such as leaf springs. The means 6, 7 for pressurizing the seal consist of at least one member 7, such as a pressure roller, movable along the element 4 seal holder. This member 7 exerts, during its movement, a pressure on the element 4 seal holder tending to apply the latter on the receiving surface. Thus, this roller generally moves on one face of the profile constituting the element 4 seal carrier. This face is opposite to the face 4A of the profiled counter-profiled to the receiving surface. To allow its movement, the presser member 7, consisting of a rotary roller, is mounted on a carriage 6 driven manually or automatically in movement along a surface 3 of the supporting frame 2. This surface 3 of the supporting frame has a profile identical to that of the predetermined profile of the receiving surface to be fitted with a seal. Thus, this surface 3 of the supporting frame 2 guides the carriage 6 along a path as a function of the predetermined profile of the receiving surface to be fitted with a seal. The pressure roller, embedded on such a carriage 6, thus follows a perfectly identical trajectory to the profile of the receiving surface to be fitted with the seal. To allow the application of optimal pressure, the carriage 6 roller carrier 7 is pivotally mounted around the surface 3 for guiding the chassis 2 carrier and is equipped with a jack 9 causing, when actuated, by pressing on the supporting frame 2, the pivoting of the carriage 6 and consequently the pressurization of the roller 7 on the seal carrier element. Thus, as illustrated by the example shown, the roller-bearing carriage consists of a body having the shape of an L-shaped plate. One of the branches of the L, equipped with a handle, is provided with the jack 9 carrying at the end of its rod a member 13 intended to come into rolling bearing contact on a surface of the supporting frame 2. This plate is further equipped with rolling members 8, such as rollers, intended to cooperate with the surface 3 for guiding the carrier chassis by moving on the latter. The other branch of the carriage body is equipped at, or in the vicinity of, its end of the pressure roller 7. Because the surface 3 of the carriage guide 6 roller carrier 7 consists of a rail 3A, preferably of circular section, the rolling members 8, disposed on either side of this rail by enclosing it, can , during an extension of the jack 9 and a support of the element 13 with rolling contact contact on the supporting frame 2, pivot around this rail 3A thereby driving the other branch of the carriage and consequently the pressure roller 7 fitted to this other branch to come to bear against the element 4 seal holder. In particular, the rail 3A, preferably of circular section, serving as a surface 3 for guiding the carriage 6 roller holder 7, is integral with a profile 3B connected by means of the blades 5 spring to the element 4 seal holder. This section 3B is also connected to the rest of the supporting frame 2 by means of jacks 11 helping to reference the element 4 seal carrier relative to the receiving surface of the seal. Indeed, the positioning of the seal carrier element 4 is carried out in two stages, the first stage being obtained by displacement of the supporting frame 2, this supporting frame 2 being driven in displacement in at least two directions by means 10 d suitable drives, such as rails, chains, jacks or the like. Once the carrier frame 2 is pre-positioned and referenced on the body of the vehicle to be fitted, in particular using clamping means and positioning elements referenced at 12 in the figures, the jacks 11 are activated to allow movement of the assembly of profiles 3B / rail 3A / carriage 6 roller holder 7 and element 4 seal holder in the direction of the seal receiving surface so as to definitively position the element 4 seal holder on the surface to equip. The carriage 6 is then driven manually or automatically in displacement so as to allow the roller 7 to traverse the entire element 4 seal carrier. Once this passage of the pressure roller 7 has been carried out, the jacks 11 can be actuated in an opposite direction to allow the heaving of the joint of the element 4 joint carrier then the chassis 2 carrier is as a whole moved to be returned to its position initial. A new installation operation can then be carried out. It will require the installation of a new seal on the element 4 seal carrier before moving the entire chassis 2 carrier. Thus, such a laying operation is carried out extremely quickly and easily without the risk of generating an elongation of the joint or damage to the bodywork, in particular in the case of a very long joint.
