Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'industrie automobile et plus précisément un dispositif pour immobiliser un ouvrant, articulé de manière provisoire ou définitive sur une caisse de véhicule, lors de son passage dans une chaîne de traitement de surface (anticorrosion, passivation, protection, peinture...) .The present invention relates to the field of the automobile industry and more precisely to a device for immobilizing an opening, hinged temporarily or permanently on a vehicle body, during its passage through a surface treatment line (anti-corrosion, passivation, protection , paint...) .

ARRIERE PLAN DE L'INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Un ouvrant d'une caisse de véhicule, comme une porte, doit, dans un cycle de production, être écarté ou rapproché de la caisse plusieurs fois durant ce cycle et immobilisé aux extrémités de ce débattement, notamment dans son état le plus proche de la caisse. Or, à ce stade, il n'est équipé ni de serrure ni de poignée de manoeuvre. Il est connu d'installer sur l'ouvrant, au moyen d'un bâti de fixation, une sorte de serrure provisoire, pour assurer l'immobilisation susdite, et un organe de son actionnement. Cette serrure est le plus souvent formée par une sorte de pêne débordant latéralement de l'ouvrant pour venir s'enclencher derrière une tôle de la caisse qui borde l'ouverture de la caisse que l'ouvrant est destiné à obturer. La plupart du temps, le pêne fait face à une butée portée par le dispositif qui, elle, vient au contact de cette tôle en avant de celle-ci, de sorte que, lorsque le pêne est engagé derrière le bord de l'ouverture de la caisse, ce bord est logé entre le pêne et cette butée avec plus ou moins de jeu selon les exigences du constructeur. Lors de l'ouverture de l'ouvrant, le pêne est escamoté vers l'intérieur de l'ouverture au moyen d'un organe qui en commande une translation ou, plus souvent, une rotation à l'encontre de l'effet d'un organe élastique de rappel. Lors de la fermeture, le pêne, saillant au-delà du bord de l'ouvrant, poussé par l'organe élastique, est conformé de manière que son appui sur le bord de l'ouverture le repousse automatiquement selon un mouvement identique à celui obtenu par la manoeuvre de l'organe susdit. Cet appui glissant présente l'inconvénient de détacher des particules du revêtement qui a été précédemment déposé et sur le bord de l'ouverture de la caisse frotté par le pêne et sur le pêne lui-même. Ces particules détachées tombent sur des parties basses de la caisse et sont la source de défauts pour la ou les couches suivantes appliquées sur ces parties basses.An opening of a vehicle body, such as a door, must, in a production cycle, be moved away from or closer to the body several times during this cycle and immobilized at the ends of this movement, in particular in its state closest to the box. However, at this stage, it is not equipped with either a lock or an operating handle. It is known to install on the opening, by means of a fixing frame, a sort of temporary lock, to ensure the aforementioned immobilization, and an organ for its actuation. This lock is most often formed by a sort of bolt extending laterally from the opening to engage behind a sheet metal of the body which borders the opening of the body which the opening is intended to close. Most of the time, the bolt faces a stop carried by the device which itself comes into contact with this sheet in front of it, so that, when the bolt is engaged behind the edge of the opening of the body, this edge is housed between the bolt and this stop with more or less play depending on the manufacturer's requirements. When opening the opening, the bolt is retracted towards the inside of the opening by means of a member which controls a translation or, more often, a rotation against the effect of an elastic return member. When closing, the bolt, projecting beyond the edge of the opening, pushed by the elastic member, is shaped to so that its support on the edge of the opening automatically pushes it back in a movement identical to that obtained by the operation of the aforementioned organ. This sliding support has the disadvantage of detaching particles from the coating which has previously been deposited and on the edge of the opening of the body rubbed by the bolt and on the bolt itself. These detached particles fall onto the lower parts of the body and are the source of defects for the following layer(s) applied to these lower parts.

Les documents DE-U-202011108065 , FR-A-3058121 et FR-A-3636473 décrivent des dispositifs de ce type.The documents DE-U-202011108065 , FR-A-3058121 And FR-A-3636473 describe devices of this type.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Par la présente invention, on entend fournir un dispositif qui ne présente pas cet inconvénient.By the present invention, it is intended to provide a device which does not have this drawback.

RESUME DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un dispositif d'immobilisation d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile articulé à la caisse de ce dernier, dans une position proche de ladite caisse, comportant un bâti rapporté sur une face intérieure de l'ouvrant et formant le support d'un pêne apte, dans un premier état, à être logé derrière un bord de caisse délimitant l'ouverture à laquelle l'ouvrant est associé, et dans un deuxième état, à être escamoté pour pouvoir contourner ledit bord lors de l'éloignement de l'ouvrant, le pêne étant soumis à un effort tendant à le faire saillir dans sa position d'immobilisation de l'ouvrant et étant solidaire d'un élément de manoeuvre tendant à l'escamoter à l'encontre de l'effort susdit, le bâti comportant, en regard du pêne, une butée destinée à venir au contact dudit bord de l'ouverture. Le dispositif comporte une gâchette de blocage du pêne dans son deuxième état, dont l'armement est assuré par la manoeuvre du pêne en direction de son deuxième état et dont l'effacement est assuré par le bord susdit de l'ouverture de la caisse, jouant le rôle d'une détente, libérant ainsi le pêne en direction de la butée susdite.For this purpose, the invention relates to a device for immobilizing an opening of a motor vehicle articulated to the body of the latter, in a position close to said body, comprising a frame attached to an interior face of the opening and forming the support of a bolt capable, in a first state, of being housed behind a body edge delimiting the opening with which the opening is associated, and in a second state, of being retracted in order to be able to bypass said edge when distance from the opening, the bolt being subjected to a force tending to make it protrude in its position of immobilization of the opening and being integral with an operating element tending to retract it against the said force, the frame comprising, opposite the bolt, a stop intended to come into contact with said edge of the opening. The device includes a trigger for blocking the bolt in its second state, the arming of which is ensured by the operation of the bolt towards its second state and the deletion of which is ensured by the aforementioned edge of the opening of the body, playing the role of a trigger, thus releasing the bolt in the direction of the aforementioned stop.

On comprend qu'avec ce dispositif, on peut éviter le contact frottant entre le bord de caisse et le pêne, donc la création de particules. Il faut pour cela armer la gâchette en agissant sur l'organe de manoeuvre de l'ouvrant. Sur la chaîne de traitement, cette manoeuvre préalable est obligatoire à compter de la seconde manipulation de l'ouvrant. En revanche, en début de traitement, l'ouvrant peut être rapproché de la caisse sans que l'opérateur ait agi sur l'organe de manoeuvre. Il faut alors prévoir que le bord extérieur du pêne soit conformé en une surface de came qui permette son effacement par le bord de caisse sur lequel il va frotter, frottement qui peut générer la formation de microparticules mais qu'une seule fois. L'invention sera mieux comprise au cours de la description d'exemples de réalisation donnée ci-après de manière non limitative.We understand that with this device, we can avoid rubbing contact between the body edge and the bolt, and therefore the creation of particles. To do this, you must arm the trigger by acting on the operating member of the opening. On the processing line, this preliminary maneuver is obligatory from the second manipulation of the opening. On the other hand, at the start of treatment, the opening can be brought closer to the body without the operator having acted on the operating member. It is then necessary to provide for the outer edge of the bolt to be shaped into a cam surface which allows it to be erased by the body edge on which it will rub, friction which can generate the formation of microparticles but only once. The invention will be better understood during the description of exemplary embodiments given below in a non-limiting manner.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Dans chacune des variantes représentées, les pièces ayant les mêmes fonctions portent les mêmes références.In each of the variants represented, the parts having the same functions bear the same references.

Dans les figures 1 et 2, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte une semelle 1 de sa fixation sur l'ouvrant. La semelle 1 porte deux platines 2 et 3, parallèles entre elles et perpendiculaires à la platine 1, qui se trouvent en position horizontale lorsque le dispositif est fixé sur l'ouvrant (la platine 2 étant la platine supérieure et la platine 3 la platine inférieure). Ces deux platines 2, 3 portent entre elles le mécanisme du dispositif commandé par un organe de manoeuvre 4 tel qu'il est décrit dans les figures suivantes qui sont des vues de dessus dans lesquelles la platine supérieure 2 n'est pas représentée. Ainsi aux figures 3 et 4, le mécanisme du dispositif selon l'invention est fixé à un ouvrant 5 articulé sur la caisse 6 d'un véhicule autour de charnières provisoires ou définitives non représentées situées sur la gauche des figures. Le déplacement d'ouverture de l'ouvrant 5 est dans le sens de la flèche A, par action selon la flèche B sur l'organe 4. L'ouvrant est associé à une ouverture ou baie de la caisse 6. L'ouverture est limitée par un bord 6a qui se présente sous la forme d'une paroi mince (une tôle simple ou double).In the figures 1 and 2 , the device according to the invention comprises a sole 1 for its attachment to the opening. The sole 1 carries two plates 2 and 3, parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plate 1, which are in a horizontal position when the device is fixed on the opening (the plate 2 being the upper plate and the plate 3 the lower plate ). These two plates 2, 3 carry between them the mechanism of the device controlled by an operating member 4 as described in the following figures which are top views in which the upper plate 2 is not shown. Thus to figures 3 And 4 , the mechanism of the device according to the invention is fixed to an opening 5 articulated on the body 6 of a vehicle around temporary or permanent hinges not shown located on the left of the figures. The opening movement of the opening 5 is in the direction of arrow A, by action according to arrow B on the member 4. The opening is associated with an opening or bay of the body 6. The opening is limited by an edge 6a which is in the form of a thin wall (a single or double sheet).

Les platines 2, 3 supportent un pêne 7 au moyen d'une articulation 8, le pêne 7 étant soumis en permanence à l'effet d'un organe de rappel (ressort) 9 qui tend à le rabattre en direction d'une butée 10 formée par le bord (ici 3a) des platines pour former avec cette butée 10 une pince pour le bord 6a de l'ouverture de la caisse 6.The plates 2, 3 support a bolt 7 by means of a articulation 8, the bolt 7 being permanently subjected to the effect of a return member (spring) 9 which tends to fold it towards a stop 10 formed by the edge (here 3a) of the plates to form with this stop 10 a clamp for the edge 6a of the opening of the body 6.

Le pivotement du pêne 7 autour de son articulation 8 est limité par les extrémités d'une lumière 11, ménagée dans le pêne 7, qui reçoit un pion 12 solidaire de la platine 3.The pivoting of the bolt 7 around its articulation 8 is limited by the ends of a slot 11, provided in the bolt 7, which receives a pin 12 secured to the plate 3.

Chacun des dispositifs possède une gâchette 13 articulée sur l'une ou l'autre des platines 2, 3 autour d'un axe 14. Il convient, dans ce qui suit, de distinguer les figures 3, 5 et 7, qui concernent la variante de réalisation de la figure 1, des figures 4, 6 et 8 qui concernent la variante de la figure 2.Each of the devices has a trigger 13 articulated on one or the other of the plates 2, 3 around an axis 14. It is appropriate, in what follows, to distinguish the figures 3 , 5 And 7 , which concern the alternative embodiment of the figure 1 , of the figures 4, 6 And 8 which concern the variant of the figure 2 .

Aux figure 3, 5 et 7, l'organe de manoeuvre 4 se compose d'une tringle 15 reliant le pêne 7 à un levier 16 qui est monté sur la platine 3 pour pivoter autour d'un axe 17 et qui est solidaire de l'organe de manoeuvre 4, ici en forme d'anneau. Une butée 18 limite le pivotement du levier 16 lors de son rappel par le ressort 9 dont l'effort de rappel s'applique au levier 16 via le pêne 7 et la tringle 15. La gâchette 13 possède un doigt d'entraînement 13a tandis que le pêne 7 possède un bec d'entraînement 7a. La gâchette 13 comporte un bec d'extrémité 13b tandis que le pêne 7 possède un pion d'arrêt 7b pour coopérer, comme dit ci-après, avec le bec 13b. La gâchette 13 est conformée pour présenter un bec 13c qui peut (figures 5 et 7) ou non (figure 3) déborder de la butée 10 selon sa position angulaire autour de l'axe 14.To Figure 3 , 5 And 7 , the operating member 4 consists of a rod 15 connecting the bolt 7 to a lever 16 which is mounted on the plate 3 to pivot around an axis 17 and which is integral with the operating member 4, here ring-shaped. A stop 18 limits the pivoting of the lever 16 during its return by the spring 9, the return force of which applies to the lever 16 via the bolt 7 and the rod 15. The trigger 13 has a drive finger 13a while the bolt 7 has a drive nose 7a. The trigger 13 has an end nose 13b while the bolt 7 has a stop pin 7b to cooperate, as said below, with the nose 13b. The trigger 13 is shaped to present a nozzle 13c which can ( figures 5 And 7 ) or not ( Figure 3 ) extend beyond the stop 10 according to its angular position around the axis 14.

La figure 3 représente le dispositif selon l'invention en service, c'est-à-dire le pêne 7 engagé derrière le bord 6a de l'ouverture de la caisse. Ainsi le pêne 7 est-il repoussé en pivotement autour de l'axe 8, en direction de la butée 10 sous l'action du ressort 9, ce pivotement étant stoppé par le pion 12 en appui sur une extrémité de la lumière 11. Cet état du pêne peut exister préalablement à son enclenchement derrière le bord 6a et lors d'un premier rabattement de l'ouvrant contre la caisse, le bord 7c du pêne, ayant un profil adapté, est en contact glissant sur le bord 6a et forme une came permettant un escamotage du pêne 7 permettant qu'il puisse passer derrière le bord 6a. Cet état préalable du dispositif peut exister soit avant le premier rabattement de l'ouvrant, l'organe 4 n'ayant pas été encore manipulé par un opérateur ou, au cours du traitement, à cause d'une mauvaise manipulation du dispositif. Dans tous les cas, un enclenchement du pêne 7 est possible.There Figure 3 represents the device according to the invention in service, that is to say the bolt 7 engaged behind the edge 6a of the opening of the body. Thus the bolt 7 is pushed back to pivot around the axis 8, in the direction of the stop 10 under the action of the spring 9, this pivoting being stopped by the pin 12 resting on one end of the light 11. This state of the bolt can exist prior to its engagement behind the edge 6a and during a first folding of the opening against the body, the edge 7c of the bolt, having a suitable profile, is in sliding contact on the edge 6a and forms a cam allowing the bolt 7 to be retracted allowing it to pass behind the edge 6a. This preliminary state of the device can exist either before the first folding of the opening, the member 4 having not yet been manipulated by an operator or, during treatment, due to incorrect handling of the device. In all cases, engagement of bolt 7 is possible.

La figure 5 montre un état intermédiaire du dispositif obtenu par la manipulation de l'organe 4 dans le sens B pour éloigner l'ouvrant 5 de la caisse 6. Par l'intermédiaire de la tringle 15, le pêne 7 est pivoté autour de l'axe 8 (contre l'effet du ressort 9) pour être situé en dehors de la trajectoire du bord 6a de la caisse 6 par rapport à l'ouvrant 5 lorsque ce dernier est rabattu et éviter le contact frottant du pêne 7 avec l'arête du bord 6a. Le bec 7a du pêne entraîne le doigt 13a porté par la gâchette 13 pour la faire tourner autour de son articulation dans le sens contra-horaire. Le bec d'extrémité 13b de la gâchette 13 se trouve alors en face du pion d'arrêt 7b, alors que le pion 12 se trouve en butée à l'autre extrémité de la lumière 11, limitant ainsi l'amplitude du pivotement du pêne 7. Il faut noter que dans cet état intermédiaire, l'extrémité du bec 13c de la gâchette 13 a passé outre la butée 10 fixe du dispositif.There Figure 5 shows an intermediate state of the device obtained by manipulating the member 4 in direction B to move the opening 5 away from the body 6. Via the rod 15, the bolt 7 is pivoted around the axis 8 (against the effect of the spring 9) to be located outside the trajectory of the edge 6a of the body 6 relative to the opening 5 when the latter is folded down and to avoid the rubbing contact of the bolt 7 with the edge of the edge 6a. The nose 7a of the bolt drives the finger 13a carried by the trigger 13 to rotate it around its joint in a counterclockwise direction. The end beak 13b of the trigger 13 is then opposite the stop pin 7b, while the pin 12 is abutting at the other end of the slot 11, thus limiting the amplitude of the pivoting of the bolt 7. It should be noted that in this intermediate state, the end of the nozzle 13c of the trigger 13 has passed beyond the fixed stop 10 of the device.

La figure 7 est l'illustration de l'état du dispositif lorsque l'opérateur a lâché l'organe de manoeuvre 4. La gâchette 13 est laissée à la place prise en figure 5, c'est-à-dire dans son état armé, tandis que le pêne 7 est repoussé par le ressort 9 autour de son articulation 8 jusqu'à ce que le pion 7b vienne buter conte le bec 13c de la gâchette 13 elle-même en butée dans le sens contra-horaire.There Figure 7 is the illustration of the state of the device when the operator has released the operating member 4. The trigger 13 is left in the place taken into account. Figure 5 , that is to say in its armed state, while the bolt 7 is pushed back by the spring 9 around its articulation 8 until the pin 7b comes into contact with the nozzle 13c of the trigger 13 itself in abutment in the counter-clockwise direction.

Comme dans cet état le bec 13c de la gâchette 13 déborde au-delà de la butée fixe 10, c'est lui qui sera contacté en premier par le bord 6a de la caisse quand l'ouvrant sera rabattu. Le bord 6a joue alors un rôle de détente qui fera pivoter la gâchette 13 dans le sens horaire de sorte que le pion 7b échappera au bec 13b et que le pêne 7 sera déplacé en direction de la butée 10 par l'action du ressort 9 et viendra se loger derrière le bord 6a. L'ouvrant 5 sera alors dans son état illustré par la figure 3, immobilisé par rapport à la caisse 6 sans que le pêne 7 ait frotté contre le bord de l'ouverture et ait pu en détacher des particules.As in this state the nozzle 13c of the trigger 13 extends beyond the fixed stop 10, it is he who will be contacted first by the edge 6a of the body when the opening is folded. The edge 6a then plays a trigger role which will rotate the trigger 13 clockwise so that the pin 7b will escape the nozzle 13b and the bolt 7 will be moved towards the stop 10 by the action of the spring 9 and will be lodged behind edge 6a. The opening 5 will then be in its state illustrated by the Figure 3 , immobilized relative to the body 6 without the bolt 7 having rubbed against the edge of the opening and being able to detach particles.

Dans la variante représentée aux figures 4, 6 et 8, le pêne 7 est directement solidaire de son organe de manoeuvre 4 ici en forme de poignée.In the variant shown in figures 4, 6 And 8 , the bolt 7 is directly attached to its operating member 4 here in the form of a handle.

A la figure 4, à l'instar de la figure 3, le pêne 7 est représenté engagé derrière le bord 6a de l'ouverture ménagée dans la caisse 6. Le pêne 7 est repoussé en pivotement autour de l'axe 8, en direction de la butée 10 sous l'action du ressort 9, ce pivotement étant stoppé par le pion 12 en appui sur une extrémité de la lumière 11. Comme dans la variante précédente, le bord 7c du pêne, a un profil adapté pour être, le cas échéant, en contact glissant sur le bord 6a et qu'un enclenchement du pêne 7 soit toujours possible. Le pêne 7 comporte deux pions 19a et 19b pour coopérer avec la gâchette 13 afin de la faire pivoter autour de son axe d'articulation 14.To the Figure 4 , like the Figure 3 , the bolt 7 is shown engaged behind the edge 6a of the opening in the body 6. The bolt 7 is pushed back to pivot around the axis 8, in the direction of the stop 10 under the action of the spring 9, this pivoting being stopped by the pin 12 resting on one end of the light 11. As in the previous variant, the edge 7c of the bolt has a profile adapted to be, if necessary, in sliding contact on the edge 6a and that it is always possible to engage the bolt 7. The bolt 7 has two pins 19a and 19b to cooperate with the trigger 13 in order to make it pivot around its hinge axis 14.

La figure 6 montre un état intermédiaire du dispositif obtenu par la manipulation de l'organe 4 (poignée) dans le sens B pour éloigner l'ouvrant 5 de la caisse 6. Par la poignée, le pêne 7 est pivoté autour de l'axe 8 (contre l'effet du ressort 9) pour être situé en dehors de la trajectoire du bord 6a de la caisse 6 par rapport à l'ouvrant 5 lorsque ce dernier est rabattu et éviter le contact frottant du pêne 7 avec l'arête du bord 6a. Le pion 19a du pêne 7 entraîne la gâchette 13 pour la faire tourner autour de son articulation dans le sens horaire. Le bec 13b passe alors au-delà du pion 19b dans le pivotement relatif de la gâchette 13 par rapport au pêne 7. Dans cet état intermédiaire, l'extrémité du bec 13c de la gâchette a passé au-delà de la butée 10 fixe du dispositif.There Figure 6 shows an intermediate state of the device obtained by manipulating the member 4 (handle) in direction B to move the opening 5 away from the body 6. By the handle, the bolt 7 is pivoted around the axis 8 (against the effect of the spring 9) to be located outside the trajectory of the edge 6a of the body 6 relative to the opening 5 when the latter is folded down and avoid rubbing contact of the bolt 7 with the edge of the edge 6a. The pin 19a of the bolt 7 drives the trigger 13 to rotate it around its joint in a clockwise direction. The nose 13b then passes beyond the pin 19b in the relative pivoting of the trigger 13 relative to the bolt 7. In this intermediate state, the end of the nose 13c of the trigger has passed beyond the fixed stop 10 of the device.

A la figure 8, comme l'opérateur a lâché la poignée 4, le ressort 9 repousse le pêne 7 en direction de la butée 10. La gâchette 8 reste dans la position prise à la figure 6 tandis que le pion 19b vient en appui sur l'extrémité du bec 13b et l'ensemble gâchette/ pêne se bloque par arcboutement de l'un sur l'autre.To the figure 8 , as the operator has released the handle 4, the spring 9 pushes the bolt 7 towards the stop 10. The trigger 8 remains in the position taken at the Figure 6 while the pin 19b comes to rest on the end of the beak 13b and the trigger/bolt assembly is blocked by bracing one on top of the other.

Comme dans cet état le bec 13c de la gâchette déborde au-delà de la butée fixe 10, c'est lui qui sera contacté en premier par le bord 6a de la caisse quand l'ouvrant sera rabattu. Le bord 6a joue alors un rôle de détente qui fera pivoter la gâchette 13 rompant ainsi l'arc-boutement du pion 19b et du bec 13b de sorte que le pêne 7 sera repoussé en direction de la butée 10 par le ressort 9 et viendra se loger derrière le bord 6a. L'ouvrant 5 sera alors dans son état illustré par la figure 3, immobilisé par rapport à la caisse sans que le pêne 7 ait frotté contre le bord 6a de l'ouverture 6 et ait pu en détacher des particules.As in this state the nozzle 13c of the trigger extends beyond the fixed stop 10, it is he who will be contacted first by the edge 6a of the body when the opening is folded. The edge 6a then plays a role of relaxation which will pivot the trigger 13 thus breaking the bracing of the pin 19b and the beak 13b so that the bolt 7 will be pushed back towards the stop 10 by the spring 9 and will come to rest. house behind edge 6a. The opening 5 will then be in its state illustrated by the Figure 3 , immobilized relative to the body without the bolt 7 having rubbed against the edge 6a of the opening 6 and being able to detach particles.
