Description

INSTALLATION DE CONTROLE DE LA POSITION DES PORTES  INSTALLATION FOR CHECKING THE POSITION OF THE DOORS
LATERALES D'UN VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE  LATERALS OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
La présente invention concerne une installation de contrôle de la position des portes latérales d'un véhicule automobile.  The present invention relates to a control installation of the position of the side doors of a motor vehicle.
Actuellement, le contrôle de la position des portes latérales d'un véhicule automobile est réalisé dans une installation comprenant des moyens pour déplacer le véhicule dans un poste de contrôle équipé de moyens de mesure de la position des portes latérales par rapport au référentiel du véhicule.  Currently, the control of the position of the side doors of a motor vehicle is performed in an installation comprising means for moving the vehicle in a control station equipped with means for measuring the position of the side doors relative to the reference system of the vehicle.
Ces moyens de mesure sont par exemple des caméras laser qui sont capables de mesurer avec une grande précision la position des portes par rapport au référentiel, c'est-à-dire aux axes X, Y, Z du véhicule.  These measuring means are, for example, laser cameras which are able to measure with a great accuracy the position of the doors relative to the reference frame, that is to say to the X, Y, Z axes of the vehicle.
Ces mesures sont effectuées en continu c'est-à-dire pendant le déplacement du véhicule dans le poste de contrôle.  These measurements are made continuously, that is to say during the movement of the vehicle in the control station.
Lorsque les véhicules arrivent les uns à la suite dans le poste de contrôle, leur caisse est équipée de fausses gâches coopérant avec de fausses serrures montées sur les portes latérales.  When the vehicles arrive one after the other in the checkpoint, their box is equipped with false locks cooperating with false locks mounted on the side doors.
Lorsque les portes latérales sont en fin de course de fermeture, elles sont en appui contre les fausses gâches.  When the side doors are at the end of closing stroke, they are in support against the false locks.
Cependant, cet appui n'est pas garanti dans tous les cas.  However, this support is not guaranteed in all cases.
Ainsi, lorsque cet appui n'est pas parfait, les mesures effectuées peuvent être fausses ou incohérentes et entraîner des retouches ultérieures susceptibles de ralentir les cadences de fabrication.  Thus, when this support is not perfect, the measurements made may be false or inconsistent and cause subsequent retouching likely to slow down production rates.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient.  The object of the present invention is to overcome this disadvantage.
Ce but est atteint, selon l'invention, grâce à une installation de contrôle de la position des portes latérales d'un véhicule automobile comprenant des moyens pour déplacer le véhicule dans un poste de contrôle équipé de moyens de mesure de la position des portes latérales par rapport au référentiel du véhicule, cette installation étant caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend des moyens pour exercer sur chacune des portes latérales, lors du déplacement du véhicule dans ledit poste de contrôle, une force sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement du véhicule, pour maintenir ladite porte en appui contre une butée définissant la fin de course de fermeture de la porte. Ainsi, les mesures effectuées pour déterminer la position précise des portes ne risquent pas d'être faussées. This object is achieved, according to the invention, by an installation for controlling the position of the lateral doors of a motor vehicle comprising means for moving the vehicle in a control station equipped with means for measuring the position of the side doors. relative to the reference system of the vehicle, this installation being characterized in that it comprises means for exerting on each of the side doors, during the movement of the vehicle in said control station, a force substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the vehicle, to hold said door in abutment against a stop defining the closing limit of the door. Thus, the measurements made to determine the precise position of the doors are not likely to be distorted.
Dans une version préférée de l'invention, l'installation comprend au moins une roue montée en rotation libre sur un axe sensiblement vertical coopérant avec des moyens permettant de déplacer cette roue entre une position inactive dans laquelle elle est libre par rapport à la face extérieure de la porte et une position active dans laquelle la roue est en contact avec la face extérieure de la porte et peut rouler sur celle-ci, lors du déplacement du véhicule dans ledit poste de contrôle.  In a preferred version of the invention, the installation comprises at least one wheel mounted in free rotation on a substantially vertical axis cooperating with means for moving the wheel between an inactive position in which it is free with respect to the outer face of the door and an active position in which the wheel is in contact with the outer face of the door and can roll on it, during the movement of the vehicle in said control station.
La force d'appui de cette roue sur la porte maintient celle-ci en appui contre la butée, telle que la fausse gâche, ce qui permet d'éviter tout risque de fausse mesure de la position de la porte.  The bearing force of this wheel on the door maintains it bears against the stop, such as the false striker, which avoids any risk of false measurement of the position of the door.
De préférence, ladite roue est pourvue d'un bandage en matière souple, telle qu'elle ne puisse pas abîmer le revêtement de la face extérieure de la porte, lorsque cette roue est dans la position active.  Preferably, said wheel is provided with a bandage of flexible material, such that it can not damage the coating of the outer face of the door, when the wheel is in the active position.
Ainsi la roue peut être réalisée entièrement en matière souple ou comporter un bandage en mousse synthétique.  Thus the wheel can be made entirely of flexible material or comprise a synthetic foam bandage.
Une telle mousse ne risque pas d'abîmer le revêtement de la porte, lorsque la roue roule sur celle-ci.  Such a foam is not likely to damage the coating of the door, when the wheel rolls on it.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, les moyens pour déplacer la roue entre les positions inactive et active comprennent un vérin.  In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the means for moving the wheel between the inactive and active positions comprise a jack.
Ce vérin peut être pneumatique, hydraulique ou électro-magnétique.  This jack can be pneumatic, hydraulic or electro-magnetic.
Dans un mode de réalisation, le vérin comprend un corps fixe et une tige mobile dont l'extrémité est directement reliée à l'axe de la roue.  In one embodiment, the jack comprises a fixed body and a movable rod whose end is directly connected to the axis of the wheel.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le vérin comprend un corps fixe et une tige mobile dont l'extrémité est reliée à un levier pivotant dont une extrémité est reliée à l'axe de la roue.  In another embodiment, the jack comprises a fixed body and a movable rod whose end is connected to a pivoting lever whose one end is connected to the axis of the wheel.
De préférence, le vérin est commandé par des moyens permettant de commander le déplacement de la roue vers la position active et de maintenir cette position pendant la durée des mesures effectuées par lesdits moyens de mesure.  Preferably, the jack is controlled by means for controlling the movement of the wheel to the active position and maintain this position for the duration of the measurements made by said measuring means.
De préférence, le vérin coopère avec des moyens d'actionnement, de telle sorte que la roue exerce sur la porte une force prédéterminée c'est-à-dire juste suffisante pour maintenir la porte en butée. L'installation selon l'invention peut être en particulier adaptée pour contrôler la position des portes latérales d'un véhicule équipé de chaque côté de deux portes latérales. Preferably, the jack cooperates with actuating means, so that the wheel exerts on the door a predetermined force that is to say just enough to hold the door in abutment. The installation according to the invention may in particular be adapted to control the position of the side doors of a vehicle equipped on each side with two lateral doors.
Dans ce cas, l'installation comprend de chaque côté deux roues pouvant être déplacées chacune vers l'une des deux portes latérales.  In this case, the installation comprises on each side two wheels each movable to one of the two side doors.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore tout au long de la description ci-après.  Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent throughout the description below.
Aux dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples, non limitatifs :  In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples:
- la figure 1 est une vue latérale partielle d'un véhicule automobile équipé de deux portes latérales,  FIG. 1 is a partial side view of a motor vehicle equipped with two side doors,
- la figure 2 est une vue schématique en coupe transversale d'une porte latérale et d'une roue actionnée par un vérin d'une installation de contrôle selon l'invention, cette roue étant en position inactive,  FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of a side door and a wheel actuated by a jack of a control installation according to the invention, this wheel being in an inactive position,
- la figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 2, la roue étant en position active en appui sur la porte latérale,  FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2, the wheel being in the active position resting on the side door,
- la figure 4 est une vue schématique en plan d'une installation de contrôle selon l'invention.  - Figure 4 is a schematic plan view of a control installation according to the invention.
La figure 1 représente partiellement le côté droit d'un véhicule automobile équipé d'une porte latérale avant 1 et d'une porte latérale arrière 2, toutes deux en position fermée.  Figure 1 partially shows the right side of a motor vehicle equipped with a front side door 1 and a rear side door 2, both in the closed position.
Chacune des deux portes 1 , 2 est en principe en appui sur une zone 3 de la caisse du véhicule.  Each of the two doors 1, 2 is in principle supported on an area 3 of the vehicle body.
Cette zone 3 est formée par exemple par la fausse gâche qui équipe la caisse du véhicule avant le contrôle de la position des portes latérales 1 , 2 du véhicule.  This zone 3 is formed for example by the false striker that equips the vehicle body before checking the position of the side doors 1, 2 of the vehicle.
Ce contrôle est effectué dans une installation qui sera décrite en détail plus loin.  This control is performed in an installation which will be described in detail later.
Cette installation comprend des moyens pour déplacer le véhicule dans un poste de contrôle équipé de moyens de mesure, tels que des caméras laser, de la position des portes latérales 1 , 2 par rapport au référentiel X, Y, Z du véhicule.  This installation comprises means for moving the vehicle in a control station equipped with measuring means, such as laser cameras, the position of the side doors 1, 2 relative to the reference system X, Y, Z of the vehicle.
Conformément à l'invention, cette installation comprend (voir figures 1 et 2) un dispositif 4 adapté pour exercer sur chacune des portes latérales 1 ou 2, lors du déplacement du véhicule dans le poste de contrôle ci-dessus, une force F (voir figure 3) sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction de déplacement du véhicule, pour maintenir la porte 1 ou 2 en appui contre une butée 3 définissant la fin de course de fermeture de la porte 1 ou 2. According to the invention, this installation comprises (see FIGS. 1 and 2) a device 4 adapted to exert on each of the side doors 1 or 2, during the movement of the vehicle in the control station above, a force F (see FIG. 3) substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the vehicle, to hold the door 1 or 2 in abutment against a stop 3 defining the closing end of the door 1 or 2.
Le dispositif 4 comprend une roue 5 montée en rotation libre sur un axe 6 sensiblement vertical coopérant avec un organe 7 permettant de déplacer cette roue 5 entre une position inactive (voir figure 2) dans laquelle elle est libre par rapport à la face extérieure 1 a de la porte 1 et une position active (voir figure 3) dans laquelle la roue 5 est en contact avec la face extérieure 1 a de la porte 1 et peut rouler sur celle-ci, lors du déplacement du véhicule dans le poste de contrôle, en exerçant la force F sur la porte 1 .  The device 4 comprises a wheel 5 mounted in free rotation on a substantially vertical axis 6 cooperating with a member 7 to move the wheel 5 between an inactive position (see Figure 2) in which it is free from the outer face 1a of the door 1 and an active position (see Figure 3) in which the wheel 5 is in contact with the outer face 1a of the door 1 and can roll on it, during the movement of the vehicle in the control station, by exerting the force F on the door 1.
La roue 5 est réalisée entièrement en matière souple ou est pourvue d'un bandage en matière souple, telle qu'elle ne puisse pas abîmer le revêtement de la face extérieure 1 a de la porte 1 , lorsque cette roue 5 est dans la position active et roule sur la face extérieure de la porte 1 .  The wheel 5 is made entirely of flexible material or is provided with a bandage of flexible material, such that it can not damage the coating of the outer face 1a of the door 1, when the wheel 5 is in the active position and rolls on the outside of the door 1.
Cette matière souple peut être une mousse synthétique par exemple en polyuréthanne ou en EPDM.  This flexible material may be a synthetic foam for example polyurethane or EPDM.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, l'organe 7 pour déplacer la roue 5 entre les positions inactive et active comprend un vérin pneumatique, hydraulique ou électro-magnétique.  In the example shown in Figures 2 and 3, the member 7 for moving the wheel 5 between the inactive and active positions comprises a pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic or electro-magnetic.
Ce vérin 7 comprend un corps fixe 7a et une tige mobile 7b dont l'extrémité est directement reliée à l'axe 6 de la roue 5.  This jack 7 comprises a fixed body 7a and a movable rod 7b whose end is directly connected to the axis 6 of the wheel 5.
Dans l'exemple de l'installation représentée sur la figure 4, le vérin 7 comprend également un corps fixe 7a et une tige mobile 7b.  In the example of the installation shown in Figure 4, the cylinder 7 also comprises a fixed body 7a and a movable rod 7b.
Cependant, l'extrémité de cette tige 7b est reliée à un levier pivotant 8 dont une extrémité est reliée à l'axe 6 de la roue 5.  However, the end of this rod 7b is connected to a pivoting lever 8, one end of which is connected to the axis 6 of the wheel 5.
Dans les deux cas ci-dessus, le vérin 7 est commandé par des moyens permettant de commander le déplacement de la roue 5 vers la position active, représentée sur les figures 3 et 4, et de maintenir cette position pendant la durée des mesures effectuées par les moyens de mesure.  In the two cases above, the jack 7 is controlled by means making it possible to control the displacement of the wheel 5 towards the active position, shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and to maintain this position for the duration of the measurements made by the measuring means.
Dans l'exemple de figure 4, ces moyens de mesure sont des caméras laser In the example of FIG. 4, these measuring means are laser cameras
9. De plus, l'installation de contrôle comprend des moyens pour actionner chaque vérin 7 de telle sorte que la roue 5 exerce sur la porte 1 ou 2 une force prédéterminée F suffisante pour bien plaquer celle-ci sur la butée 3. 9. In addition, the control installation comprises means for actuating each jack 7 so that the wheel 5 exerts on the door 1 or 2 a predetermined force F sufficient to press it on the abutment 3.
L'Installation représentée schématiquement sur la figure 4 est adaptée pour contrôler la position des portes latérales d'un véhicule équipé de chaque côté de deux portes latérales 1 , 2.  The installation shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4 is adapted to control the position of the side doors of a vehicle equipped on each side with two lateral doors 1, 2.
Cette installation comprend ainsi de chaque côté deux roues 5 pouvant être déplacées chacune vers l'une des deux portes latérales 1 , 2.  This installation thus comprises on each side two wheels 5 each movable towards one of the two side doors 1, 2.
De même, deux caméras laser 9 sont disposées de chaque côté pour effectuer des mesures sur chacune des portes 1 , 2.  Similarly, two laser cameras 9 are arranged on each side to make measurements on each of the doors 1, 2.
Cette installation de contrôle fonctionne comme suit.  This control installation works as follows.
Les véhicules à contrôler défilent en continu dans l'installation en se déplaçant dans la direction D, entre les deux positions A et B représentées en pointillés.  The vehicles to be controlled scroll continuously in the installation by moving in the direction D, between the two positions A and B shown in dashed lines.
Lors de ce déplacement, les véhicules 10 sont transportés par des luges non représentées.  During this movement, the vehicles 10 are transported by sleds not shown.
Avant l'entrée d'un véhicule 10 dans l'installation, les roues 5 actionnées par les vérins 7 associés sont en position inactive.  Before the entry of a vehicle 10 into the installation, the wheels 5 actuated by the associated cylinders 7 are in the inactive position.
Lorsque le véhicule 10 est situé dans le poste de contrôle de l'installation et que les roues 5 sont disposées en regard des portes 1 , 2, les roues 5 sont actionnées par les vérins 7 et mises en position active, en appui contre les portes 1 , 2, comme indiqué sur la figure 4.  When the vehicle 10 is located in the control station of the installation and the wheels 5 are arranged opposite the doors 1, 2, the wheels 5 are actuated by the cylinders 7 and placed in the active position, resting against the doors 1, 2, as shown in Figure 4.
Ces portes 1 , 2 sont alors plaquées vers les butées constituées par les fausses gâches.  These doors 1, 2 are then pressed towards the abutments formed by the false strikers.
Les caméras laser 9 effectuent alors les mesures nécessaires pour contrôler la position des portes 1 , 2 en particulier les jeux et affleurements de celles-ci par rapport à la caisse du véhicule.  The laser cameras 9 then make the necessary measurements to control the position of the doors 1, 2 in particular the games and outcrops thereof relative to the vehicle body.
Lorsque ces mesures ont été effectuées, les vérins 7 sont actionnés pour mettre les roues 5 en position inactive c'est-à-dire libre par rapport au véhicule 10.  When these measurements have been made, the cylinders 7 are actuated to put the wheels 5 in an inactive position, that is to say free with respect to the vehicle 10.
Le véhicule 10 quitte ensuite le poste de contrôle.  The vehicle 10 then leaves the checkpoint.
Le fonctionnement de l'installation est bien entendu rendu entièrement automatique grâce à un logiciel qui coopère avec des capteurs et des actionneurs pour gérer les différentes étapes de fonctionnement de l'installation.  The operation of the installation is of course made fully automatic thanks to software that cooperates with sensors and actuators to manage the various stages of operation of the installation.
