Definitions
- the present invention relates to an arrangement of a spare wheel winch assembly under a motor vehicle floor, to a method of installing such an arrangement, and to a motor vehicle comprising such an arrangement.
- the winch assembly is fixed to beams located under the floor of the motor vehicle.
- the winding of the winch cable must therefore be carried out on the assembly line once the winch assembly has been fixed on the side rails, which has the effect of slowing the advance of the vehicle to the next station and increase the cycle time of the assembly line.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement in which the winding operation of the winch cable can be carried out outside the assembly line so as to reduce the cycle time.
- This object of the invention is achieved with an arrangement of a spare wheel winch assembly under a motor vehicle floor, remarkable in that said winch assembly is fixed directly under said floor.
- the winch assembly can be fixed under the floor from the space above this floor, so that the position of the spare wheel relative to this set winch does not affect the installation of the arrangement according to the invention.
- said winch assembly is adapted to be housed substantially inside said spare wheel, said winch assembly defines a substantially cylindrical volume whose height is close to that of said spare wheel, said set of. winch defines a cavity communicating with the space situated above said floor by an opening formed in this floor, and a tool basket is housed in said cavity, - said tool basket defines a substantially cylindrical volume, said tool basket comprises a lighting device,
- said floor comprises reinforcements.
- Said reinforcements are arranged radially at the periphery of said opening.
- the object of the invention is also achieved with a method of installing an arrangement in accordance with the above on a motor vehicle moving on an assembly line, remarkable in that:
- this winch assembly supporting said spare wheel is placed under said floor, and d) fixing said winch assembly under said floor from above said floor.
- the present invention also provides a motor vehicle remarkable in that it comprises an arrangement in accordance with the above.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the arrangement according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a normal perspective view of the arrangement according to the invention.
- the arrangement according to the invention comprises a floor 1 of a motor vehicle 3, a set of winch 5 and a spare tire 7.
- the arrangement according to the invention may also include a tool basket 8.
- the floor 1 may for example be a floor located at the bottom of the rear trunk of the vehicle 3.
- the floor 1 comprises an opening 9 whose shape corresponds substantially to the outline of the tool basket 8.
- the tool basket 8 can contain, for example, a jack, and various tools allowing a motorist to carry out minor repairs on his vehicle.
- the tool basket 8 may include a device for illuminating the content.
- Reinforcements 11a, 11b, 11 are preferably arranged on the floor 1.
- the winch assembly 5 can for example comprise a support member 13 inside which is fixed a winch 15 strictly speaking, this winch being able to be manual or electric.
- This winch 15 makes it possible to wind or unwind a cable 16 which can be fixed on the rim 17 of the spare wheel 7.
- the support member 13 is fixed 'directly under the floor 1, with fixing means such as screws 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d introduced into holes 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d provided for this purpose in the floor 1 (see Figure 1).
- the winch assembly 5 is adapted to be able to be housed inside the rim 17 of the spare wheel 7.
- the winch assembly 5 defines a substantially cylindrical volume whose height h is close to 30. that h 'of the spare wheel 7.
- the winch assembly 5 defines a cavity 23 communicating with the space 24 situated above the floor 1 through the opening 9. This cavity is shaped so as to be able to receive the tool basket 8 without the latter protruding above the floor 1.
- the opening 9 is circular and the tool basket 8 and the cavity 23 define substantially cylindrical volumes which correspond.
- the spare wheel 7 is in the position shown in FIG. 2, that is to say that it is held under the floor 1 by the cable 16.
- the winch assembly 5 When the winch assembly 5 is adapted to be able to be housed inside the rim 17 of the spare wheel 7, this wheel can be kept substantially in contact against the floor 1, thus achieving minimal bulk.
- reinforcements 11a, 11b, 11e makes it possible to maintain the rigidity of the floor 1, which proves in particular to be necessary when this floor comprises the opening 9.
- the winch 15 is then actuated so as to unwind the cable 16 and place the spare wheel 7 on the ground.
- the winch assembly 5 is adapted to be housed inside the rim 17 makes it possible to center this wheel and thus to position it correctly relative to the floor 1.
- the procedure is as follows. Before the vehicle arrives at the station provided for the installation of the arrangement according to the invention, outside the assembly line, the cable 16 of the winch 15 is connected to the spare wheel 7.
- the winch 15 is then actuated so as to wind the cable 16 until the spare wheel 7 comes to fit on the winch assembly 5.
- the tool basket 8 is then introduced into the cavity 23.
- temporary fixing means are used such as clips to hold the winch assembly in place prior to its final fixing.
- the screws 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d are then introduced from above the floor 1 into the orifices 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d, so that these screws come into engagement. with the support member 13. These screws are then tightened until the winch assembly 5 is properly stowed under the floor 1.
- the position of the spare wheel 7 relative to this winch assembly has no effect on the installation of the arrangement according to the invention. It is thus possible in particular to wind the cable 16 of the winch 15 so as to press the spare wheel 7 against the winch assembly 5 before it is fixed under the floor 1 of the vehicle 3, outside the assembly line, and reduce thus significantly the cycle time of this chain.
