Description

FIXATION D'UN ENSEMBLE DE TRAPPE A CARBURANT ATTACHING A FUEL TRAP ASSEMBLY
L'invention concerne un procédé de fixation d'un ensemble de trappe à carburant. L'invention est notamment appropriée pour la fixation d'un ensemble de trappe à carburant sur un coté de caisse d'une carrosserie de véhicule et plus particulièrement pour un véhicule automobile.The invention relates to a method for attaching a fuel filler assembly. The invention is particularly suitable for fixing a fuel filler assembly on a body side of a vehicle body and more particularly for a motor vehicle.
Pour la suite de la description, nous utiliserons indifféremment le terme de coté de caisse ou de carrosserie, l'un ou l'autre désignant le pourtour de l'orifice de remplissage de carburant.For the rest of the description, we will use indifferently the term of side body or body, one or the other designating the periphery of the fuel filling port.
Actuellement, les trappes à carburant sont solidarisées dans le fond du bol de trappe à carburant, ce dernier étant préalablement solidarisé sur la carrosserie du véhicule, habituellement par soudage.Currently, the fuel traps are secured in the bottom of the fuel hatch bowl, the latter being secured beforehand on the vehicle body, usually by welding.
L'opération de solidarisation n'étant pas ajustée, il est très difficile de garantir un jeu constant entre le panneau de trappe et le coté de caisse. Ce problème est résolu lorsque l'on utilise un ensemble de trappe en matière plastique directement rapporté dans l'ouverture du coté de caisse mais cette solution est très coûteuse.The fastening operation is not adjusted, it is very difficult to ensure a constant play between the hatch panel and the side of the body. This problem is solved when using a set of plastic hatch directly reported in the opening of the side of body but this solution is very expensive.
L'invention a pour objectif de faciliter l'assemblage de la trappe à carburant et de garantir un jeu constant entre la trappe et le coté de caisse, notamment pour les ensembles de trappe à carburant en tôle. Selon un premier aspect de l'invention, il s'agit d'un procédé de fixation d'un ensemble de trappe à carburant sur une carrosserie d'un véhicule comprenant notamment un bol de trappe à carburant solidarisé sur un coté de caisse pourvu d'un orifice de remplissage de carburant, l'ensemble de trappe étant composé d'un ensemble articulation, composé d'un charnon mobile et d'un charnon fixe, et d'un panneau de trappe, l'ensemble articulation étant positionné dans le bol à l'aide d'un gabarit qui prend appui sur le coté de caisse.The invention aims to facilitate the assembly of the fuel hatch and to ensure a constant play between the hatch and the side of the body, especially for the sheet metal fuel hatch assemblies. According to a first aspect of the invention, it is a method for attaching a fuel filler assembly to a bodywork of a vehicle including in particular a fuel filler flange secured to a body side provided with a fuel filling orifice, the hatch assembly being composed of a hinge assembly, consisting of a movable knuckle and a fixed knuckle, and a hatch panel, the hinge assembly being positioned in the bowl using a template that bears on the side of the box.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le gabarit comprend au moins quatre références qui prennent appui sur le coté de caisse. Par appui sur le coté de caisse, il faut comprendre que les références ne prennent pas appui sur l'intérieur du bol de trappe à carburant puisque ce dernier n'est pas centré par rapport à ladite caisse.According to a particular embodiment, the template comprises at least four references which rest on the side of the body. By pressing the side of the box, it should be understood that the references do not rely on the inside of the fuel hatch bowl since the latter is not centered with respect to said box.
Par référence, on comprend une pièce présentant un volume, apte à venir en appui sur la carrosserie sans l'endommager. Une référence comprend au moins une direction d'appui mais peut avantageusement s'appuyer selon plusieurs directions.By reference, it includes a piece having a volume, adapted to bear against the body without damaging it. A reference comprises at least one support direction but can advantageously rely on several directions.
Avantageusement, le gabarit comprend au moins six références idéalement réparties sur le pourtour dudit gabarit et qui sont aptes à venir en appui sur la carrosserie.Advantageously, the template comprises at least six references ideally distributed around the perimeter of said template and which are able to bear on the bodywork.
Pour la suite de la description, on comprendra par X et Z les axes sensiblement parallèles à la carrosserie, le premier étant sensiblement vertical, le second sensiblement horizontal. L'axe Y étant alors sensiblement perpendiculaire à la carrosserie. En particulier, au moins une référence présente un appui selon l'axe Y et un appui selon l'axe Z ou X sur le coté de caisse. L'appui selon l'axe Y permet de régler le positionnement du gabarit en profondeur, l'appui selon Z ou X permettant de verrouiller le positionnement du gabarit vis-à-vis de la carrosserie. Dans un premier temps, le gabarit est positionné en Y puis est verrouillé en translation suivant les axes X et Z.For the remainder of the description, X and Z will be understood to mean the axes substantially parallel to the bodywork, the first being substantially vertical, the second substantially horizontal. The Y axis then being substantially perpendicular to the bodywork. In particular, at least one reference has a support along the Y axis and a support along the Z axis or X on the cash side. The support along the Y axis makes it possible to adjust the positioning of the template in depth, the support according to Z or X to lock the positioning of the template vis-à-vis the body. At first, the template is positioned in Y and is locked in translation along the X and Z axes.
Dans un deuxième temps, le charnon fixe est ensuite solidarisé sur le bol.In a second step, the fixed knuckle is then secured to the bowl.
Avantageusement, le charnon est solidarisé sur le bol par vissage. A l'appréciation de l'homme du métier, il pourrait être envisagé d'autres modes de solidarisation tel que par exemple par rivetage.Advantageously, the knuckle is secured to the bowl by screwing. At the discretion of the person skilled in the art, other modes of securing could be envisaged, such as for example by riveting.
Avantageusement, on solidarise le charnon fixe par vissage sur le fond du bol par au moins deux vis insérées dans des orifices du charnon fixe en alignement avec des orifices du bol, idéalement situés dans le fond de ce dernier.Advantageously, the fixed knuckle is secured by screwing on the bottom of the bowl by at least two screws inserted into holes of the fixed knuckle in alignment with orifices of the bowl, ideally located in the bottom of the latter.
Afin d'ajuster au mieux le positionnement du charnon fixe sur le fond du bol, et ce en fonction du positionnement dudit bol vis-à-vis de la carrosserie, les orifices de fixation dudit charnon fixe présentent une forme oblongue apte à favoriser ledit ajustement. Les trous présents sur le charnon mobile sont ainsi plus grands que ceux présents sur le bol. On pourrait également envisager des trous carrés. Le charnon mobile est alors pris en « sandwich » entre la vis, éventuellement avec une rondelle pour le recouvrement du trou, et le bol. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, les orifices du bol portent des écrous soudés. A l'appréciation de l'homme du métier, il pourrait être envisagé des écrous prisonniers. Avantageusement, le panneau de trappe est solidarisé sur le charnon mobile suite à la solidarisation du charnon fixe sur le bol.In order to better adjust the positioning of the fixed knuckle on the bottom of the bowl, and this depending on the positioning of said bowl vis-à-vis the bodywork, the fixing holes of said fixed knuckle have an oblong shape adapted to promote said adjustment . The holes present on the moving knuckle are thus larger than those present on the bowl. One could also consider square holes. The movable knuckle is then sandwiched between the screw, possibly with a washer for covering the hole, and the bowl. According to a particular embodiment, the orifices of the bowl carry welded nuts. At the discretion of the skilled person, it could be considered prison nuts. Advantageously, the hatch panel is secured to the movable knuckle following the attachment of the fixed knuckle on the bowl.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le charnon mobile est riveté sur une doublure du panneau de trappe par au moins trois rivets dans les orifices du charnon mobile en alignement avec les orifices correspondants de la doublure.According to a particular embodiment, the movable knuckle is riveted to a lining of the hatch panel by at least three rivets in the orifices of the movable knuckle in alignment with the corresponding orifices of the lining.
En particulier, le gabarit est utilisé pour le positionnement d'un ensemble de trappe à carburant sur une carrosserie d'un véhicule comprenant un bol de trappe à carburant. L'invention est maintenant décrite en faisant référence aux dessins, non limitatifs, dans lesquels :In particular, the template is used for positioning a fuel filler assembly on a body of a vehicle including a fuel filler bowl. The invention is now described with reference to the non-limiting drawings, in which:
La figure 1 est une vue éclatée en face avant de l'ensemble de l'invention selon un mode de réalisation particulier ;Figure 1 is an exploded view on the front of the assembly of the invention according to a particular embodiment;
La figure 2 est une vue éclatée en face arrière de l'ensemble de l'invention selon le même mode de réalisation que la figure 1;FIG. 2 is an exploded rear view of the assembly of the invention according to the same embodiment as FIG. 1;
La figure 3 est une vue de face d'un exemple de positionnement du gabarit selon l'invention ;Figure 3 is a front view of an example of positioning of the template according to the invention;
La figure 4 est une vue en coupe selon la section AA de la figure 3. Les figures 1 et 2 représentent un agencement particulier d'un ensemble de trappe à carburant 10 sur une carrosserie d'un véhicule comprenant notamment un bol 30 de trappe à carburant solidarisé sur un coté de caisse 20. Le bol 30 est pourvu d'un orifice de remplissage 22 de carburant. L'ensemble de trappe 10 est composé d'un ensemble articulation 11 comprenant un charnon mobile 14 et un charnon fixeFIG. 4 is a sectional view along the section AA of FIG. 3. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a particular arrangement of a fuel trap assembly 10 on a bodywork of a vehicle comprising in particular a trap bowl 30 at fuel attached to a body side 20. The bowl 30 is provided with a filling port 22 of fuel. The hatch assembly 10 is composed of a hinge assembly 11 comprising a movable knuckle 14 and a fixed knuckle
16, ainsi que d'un panneau de trappe 12.16, as well as a hatch panel 12.
Les figures 3 et 4 représentent un mode de réalisation particulier d'un gabarit 40 selon l'invention. Afin de faciliter la compréhension des dessins, la poignée 42, n'est pas représentée sur la figure 3 et le charnon fixe 16 n'est pas représenté sur la figure 4. Ce gabarit 40 comprend une surface sensiblement plane 43 sur laquelle est solidarisée d'un coté au moins une poignée 42 apte à mettre en place et à maintenir ledit gabarit 40 pendant l'opération de solidarisation de l'ensemble articulation 11 sur le bol 30. Sur la face opposée à la poignée 42, le gabarit 40 comprend au moins quatre références 41 qui prennent appui sur le coté de caisse 20. Dans notre exemple, le gabarit 40 comprend six références 41-1 à 41-6 réalisant neuf surfaces (ou points) de centrage Cl à C9 du gabarit vis à vis de la carrosserie. Les références 41 étant réparties de la façon suivante : Deux références 41-1 et 41-4 sur la partie supérieure du gabarit réalisant trois surfaces de centrage Cl, C4 et C5 dont deux selon l'axe Z et une selon l'axe Y et deux autres références 41-2 et 41-6 similaires sur la partie inférieure du gabarit 40 réalisant également trois surfaces de centrage C2, C7 et C8. Une référence 41-3 sur la partie gauche du gabarit réalisant une surface de centrage C9 selon l'axe X et une surface de centrage C3 selon l'axe Y.Figures 3 and 4 show a particular embodiment of a template 40 according to the invention. In order to facilitate understanding of the drawings, the handle 42 is not shown in FIG. 3 and the fixed knuckle 16 is not shown in FIG. 4. This jig 40 comprises a substantially flat surface 43 on which is fixed one side at least one handle 42 adapted to set up and maintain said template 40 during the operation of joining the hinge assembly 11 to the bowl 30. On the face opposite the handle 42, the template 40 comprises minus four references 41 which rely on the cash side 20. In our example, the template 40 comprises six references 41-1 to 41-6 realizing nine surfaces (or points) of centering C1 to C9 of the template with respect to the bodywork. The references 41 being distributed as follows: Two references 41-1 and 41-4 on the upper part of the template realizing three centering surfaces Cl, C4 and C5, two of which along the Z axis and one along the Y axis and two other references 41-2 and 41-6 similar to the lower part of the template 40 also producing three centering surfaces C2, C7 and C8. A reference 41-3 on the left part of the template realizing a centering surface C9 along the X axis and a centering surface C3 along the Y axis.
Une référence 41-5 sur la partie droite du gabarit réalisant une surface de centrage C6 selon l'axe X. Les références 41 ainsi disposées permettent de centrer et de maintenir le gabarit 40 en position vis-à-vis de la carrosserie le temps de la solidarisation de l'ensemble d'articulation 11 sur le bol 30 de trappe à carburant.A reference 41-5 on the right part of the template providing a centering surface C6 along the X axis. The references 41 thus arranged make it possible to center and maintain the template 40 in position relative to the bodywork. the solidarity of the hinge assembly 11 on the bolt 30 of fuel door.
La fixation de la poignée 42 et/ ou des références 41 sur le gabarit sont réalisées par tout moyen connu et jugé utile par l'homme du métier, par exemple mais on limitativement par collage ou vissage.Fixing the handle 42 and / or references 41 on the template are made by any means known and deemed useful by those skilled in the art, for example but limited by gluing or screwing.
Les références 41 qui empêchent deux mouvements de translation ont une forme de marche d'escalier, l'un des cotés venant se plaquer sur l'extérieur de la carrosserie et l'autre sur la partie de carrosserie qui s'oriente vers l'intérieur de l'orifice de remplissage.The references 41 which prevent two translational movements have a stair step shape, one of the sides being pressed against the outside of the body and the other on the body part which is oriented inwardly. of the filling orifice.
Le gabarit 40 comprend également, sur la même face que les références 41 , au moins deux ergots 44 aptes à coopérer avec au moins deux orifices correspondant du charnon mobile 14 et limitant les mouvements selon les axes X et Z de ce dernier. Dans notre exemple, l'un des ergots 44 présente une base sensiblement ovale, permettant de renforcer la limitation du mouvement dudit charnon mobile 14. Selon ce mode de réalisation, les orifices correspondent à ceux permettant le rivetage ultérieur du charbon mobile 14 sur le panneau de trappe 12 et notamment sur une doublure 13 solidarisée au panneau de trappe. Dans un autre mode de réalisation particulier, les ergots 44 pourraient correspondre avec des orifices n'ayant aucune fonction ultérieure.The template 40 also comprises, on the same face as the references 41, at least two lugs 44 adapted to cooperate with at least two corresponding holes of the moving knuckle 14 and limiting the movements along the X and Z axes of the latter. In our example, one of the lugs 44 has a substantially oval base, making it possible to reinforce the limitation of the movement of said movable knuckle 14. According to this embodiment, the orifices correspond to those allowing the subsequent riveting of the moving coal 14 on the panel hatch 12 and in particular on a liner 13 secured to the hatch panel. In another particular embodiment, the lugs 44 could correspond with orifices having no further function.
Le gabarit 40 comprend également au moins deux orifices 45 aptes à permettre le passage d'un outil, tel que par exemple l'embout d'une perceuse (non représenté) pour la solidarisation de l'ensemble articulation 1 1 sur le bol 30. Les orifices 45 prévus dans le gabarit 40 sont sensiblement en alignement avec les orifices 18 et 18' du charnon fixe 18 et des orifices 26 et 26' du bol 30. Nous allons maintenant décrire en détail le procédé de fixation d'un ensemble de trappe à carburant 10 sur une carrosserie d'un véhicule comprenant notamment un bol 30 solidarisé sur un coté de caisse 20.The jig 40 also comprises at least two orifices 45 able to allow the passage of a tool, such as for example the tip of a drill (not shown) for securing the hinge assembly 1 1 to the bowl 30. The orifices 45 provided in the jig 40 are substantially in alignment with the orifices 18 and 18 'of the fixed knuckle 18 and the orifices 26 and 26' of the bowl 30. We will now describe in detail the method of fixing a trap assembly fuel 10 on a body of a vehicle including a bowl 30 secured to a body side 20.
Nous considérerons pour la suite que le bol 30 est déjà solidarisé sur la carrosserie et donc sur le coté de caisse 20 par les moyens connus de l'homme du métier.We will consider for the following that the bowl 30 is already secured to the body and therefore on the body side 20 by the means known to those skilled in the art.
Nous considérerons également que le charnon mobile 14 et le charnon fixe 16 sont assemblés et forment l'ensemble articulation 1 1.We will also consider that the movable knuckle 14 and the fixed knuckle 16 are assembled and form the joint assembly 1 January.
Nous considérerons enfin que la doublure 13 est déjà assemblée sur la trappe 12 par les moyens bien connus de l'homme du métier.We will finally consider that the liner 13 is already assembled on the hatch 12 by means well known to those skilled in the art.
Dans une première étape, l'ensemble articulation 1 1 est positionné sur le gabarit 40, les deux ergots 44 de ce dernier coïncidant avec deux des orifices parmi les orifices 14', 14" ou 14'" du charnon mobile 14. L'ensemble articulation 1 1 ne peut alors plus translater selon les axes X et Z.In a first step, the hinge assembly 1 1 is positioned on the template 40, the two lugs 44 of the latter coinciding with two of the orifices 14 ', 14 "or 14'" of the moving knuckle 14. The assembly articulation 1 1 can no longer translate along the X and Z axes.
Dans une seconde étape, l'ensemble articulation 1 1 est placé dans le bol 30, le gabarit 40 est alors positionné en Y sur la carrosserie au moyen des surfaces de centrage Cl à C3, puis verrouillé en translation suivant X et Z au moyen des surfaces de centrage C4 à C9.
