Description
"Agencement pour la pose simplifiée d'un joint d'étanchéité" "Arrangement for the simplified installation of a seal"
L'invention concerne un agencement pour la pose d'un joint d'étanchéité sur un élément de structure de caisse d'un véhicule automobile.The invention relates to an arrangement for installing a seal on a body structure element of a motor vehicle.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un agencement pour la pose d'un joint d'étanchéité sur un élément de structure de caisse d'un véhicule automobile comportant au moins une ouverture et un ouvrant, lequel le joint comporte au moins une lèvre d'étanchéité qui est destinée à être interposée entre un pourtour de l'ouverture et un bord de l'ouvrant, et une semelle de fixation qui est destinée à être collée, sur une paroi de bord de l'ouverture dont une extrémité libre forme le pourtour de ladite ouverture.The invention more particularly relates to an arrangement for laying a seal on a body structure element of a motor vehicle comprising at least one opening and an opening, which seal comprises at least one sealing lip. which is intended to be interposed between a periphery of the opening and an edge of the opening, and a fixing flange which is intended to be glued, on an edge wall of the opening, a free end of which forms the periphery of the opening. said opening.
On connaît de nombreux exemples d'agencements de ce type.Many examples of arrangements of this type are known.
Conventionnellement, dans un agencement de ce type, le joint doit être mis en place avec un soin particulier afin que la semelle de fixation soit correctement collée sur la paroi de bord de l'ouverture.Conventionally, in an arrangement of this type, the gasket must be put in place with particular care so that the fixing flange is properly bonded to the edge wall of the opening.
Dans le cadre d'une chaîne d'assemblage de véhicules en grande série, deux méthodes sont habituellement utilisées.In the case of a mass-produced assembly line, two methods are usually used.
Lorsque la chaîne d'assemblage est une chaîne s'arrêtant à intervalles réguliers devant chaque poste d'assemblage, il est connu de disposer d'une machine de pose spécifique pour réaliser la pose du joint de manière automatisée. Cette conception, pour être efficace, n'en est pas moins très onéreuse.When the assembly line is a chain stopping at regular intervals in front of each assembly station, it is known to have a specific laying machine for performing the laying of the joint in an automated manner. This design, to be effective, is none the less very expensive.
Lorsque la chaîne d'assemblage est une chaîne se déplaçant en continu, il est connu de confier la pose du joint à un opérateur qui suit le véhicule pendant au moins une partie de son déplacement sur la chaîne d'assemblage, et qui réalise la pose du joint en accompagnant le véhicule lors de sa progression. Dans cette configuration, l'opérateur peut en premier lieu réaliser la pose manuellement, sans qu'il soit alors possible de mettre en place de façon parfaite le joint.When the assembly line is a continuously moving chain, it is known to entrust the laying of the seal to an operator who follows the vehicle during at least part of its movement on the assembly line, and who carries out the laying seal by accompanying the vehicle as it progresses. In this configuration, the operator can first perform the laying manually, without it being possible to set up perfectly the seal.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, l'opérateur peut en second lieu être muni d'un outil manuel de mise en place du joint.To remedy this drawback, the operator can secondly be provided with a manual tool for placing the seal.
L'utilisation d'un tel outil permet de remédier aux défauts de mise en place du joint. Toutefois, l'utilisation d'un outil est contraignante car elle augmente la durée de mise en place du joint alors que l'opérateur ne dispose que d'un temps limité pour effectuer le montage du joint sur la caisse du véhicule qui continue d'avancer sur la chaîne.The use of such a tool makes it possible to remedy the defects of setting up the joint. However, the use of a tool is binding because it increases the duration of installation of the seal while the operator has only a limited time to perform the assembly of the seal on the body of the vehicle which continues to advance on the chain.
Pour remédier à ces inconvénients, l'invention propose un agencement du type décrit précédemment, comportant un joint muni d'un guide intégré amovible. A cet effet, l'invention propose un agencement du type décrit précédemment, caractérisé en ce que la semelle de fixation comporte à une de ses extrémités, prévue pour être voisine du pourtour de l'ouverture, un guide amovible qui est destiné à prendre appui sur le pourtour de l'ouverture préalablement au collage de la semelle de fixation, puis à être séparé du joint, pour permettre une mise en position adéquate et aisée du joint avant son collage. Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention : - le guide est sécable de manière à pouvoir être séparé de la semelle de fixation sans outil ; - le joi nt est réalisé par moulage en u ne unique pièce d'u n matériau polymère, et la semelle de fixation et le guide sont initialement réunis par l'intermédiaire d'au moins une lamelle de jonction qui forme amorce de rupture et qui est destinée à être déchirée pour séparer le guide de la semelle de fixation ; - la semelle de fixation du joi nt présente la forme d'une lame sensiblement plane dont une face de fixation est destinée à être collée sur la paroi de bord de l'ouverture et le guide présente au moins la forme d'une équerre dont une première branche est destinée à prendre appui sur le pourtour de l'ouverture et dont une deuxième branche est destinée à prendre appui sur le bord de l'ouverture à proximité de la semelle de fixation ; - la lamelle de jonction réunit la deuxième branche du guide et la lame de la semelle de fixation ;To overcome these drawbacks, the invention proposes an arrangement of the type described above, comprising a seal provided with a removable integrated guide. For this purpose, the invention proposes an arrangement of the type described above, characterized in that the attachment sole has at one of its ends, intended to be close to the periphery of the opening, a removable guide which is intended to bear on the periphery of the opening prior to bonding the fastening soleplate, then to be separated from the seal, to allow a proper and easy position of the seal before bonding.

- le guide présente de surcroît la forme d'un "Y" comportant une troisième branche comportant une lamelle supplémentaire d'anti-basculement, jointive avec la paroi de liaison, qui est destinée à prévenir tout basculement du guide ;- The guide furthermore has the shape of a "Y" having a third branch comprising an additional anti-tilt flap, contiguous with the connecting wall, which is intended to prevent tilting of the guide;
- la semelle de fixation comporte, à proximité du guide amovible, un film adhésif muni d'une protection amovible.the fastening sole comprises, close to the removable guide, an adhesive film provided with a removable protection.

Dans la description qui va suivre, des chiffres de référence identiques désignent des pièces identiques ou ayant des fonctions similaires.In the following description, like reference numerals designate like parts or having similar functions.
On a représenté sur les figures l'ensemble d'un agencement 1 0 pour la pose d'un joint 12 d'étanchéité sur un élément 14 de structure de caisse d'un véhicule automobile comportant au moins une ouverture 1 6 et un ouvrant 18. De manière connue, le joint 12 comporte au moins une lèvre 20 d'étanchéité qui est destinée à être interposée entre un pourtour 22 de l'ouverture 16 et un bord 24 de l'ouvrant 1 8, et une semelle 26 de fixation qui est destinée à être collée sur une paroi de bord 28 de l'ouverture 1 6 dont une extrémité libre, ou "tranche" forme le pourtour 22 de ladite ouverture 1 6.There is shown in the figures the assembly of an arrangement 1 0 for laying a seal 12 on a body structure member 14 of a motor vehicle having at least one opening 1 6 and an opening 18 . In known manner, the seal 12 comprises at least one sealing lip 20 which is intended to be interposed between a periphery 22 of the opening 16 and an edge 24 of the opening 1 8, and a fastening sole 26 which is intended to be bonded to an edge wall 28 of the opening 1 6, a free end or "edge" forms the periphery 22 of said opening 1 6.
Conformément à l'invention, comme l'illustrent les figures 1 et 2, la semelle 26 de fixation comporte à une de ses extrémités, voisine du pourtour 22 de l'ouverture 16, un guide 30 amovible qui est destiné à prendre appui sur le pourtour 22 de l'ouverture 1 6 préalablement au collage de la semelle 26 de fixation, puis à être séparé du joint 12, pour permettre une mise en position adéquate et aisée du joint 12 avant son collage.According to the invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fastening sole 26 comprises at one of its ends, close to the periphery 22 of the opening 16, a removable guide 30 which is intended to bear on the around the periphery 22 of the opening 1 6 prior to the bonding of the fastening sole 26, then to be separated from the seal 12, to allow the seal 12 to be placed in an appropriate and easy position before it is bonded.
Plus particulièrement, le guide 30 est sécable de manière à pouvoir être séparé de la semelle 26 de fixation sans outil, comme représenté à la figure 3.More particularly, the guide 30 is breakable so as to be separable from the attachment flange 26 without tools, as shown in FIG.
Dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le joint 12 est réalisé par moulage en une unique pièce d'un matériau polymère. Ce moulage est réalisé par exemple par extrusion. La semelle 26 de fixation et le guide 30 sont initialement réunis par l'intermédiaire d'au moins une lamelle 32 de jonction qui forme amorce de rupture et qui est destinée à être déchirée pour séparer le guide 30 de la semelle 26 de fixation.In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the seal 12 is made by molding a single piece of a polymeric material. This molding is carried out for example by extrusion. The fastening sole 26 and the guide 30 are initially joined by means of at least one connecting strip 32 which forms a rupture primer and which is intended to be torn to separate the guide 30 from the attachment sole 26.
Pour permettre une adhésion correcte de la semelle 26 de fixation à la paroi 28 de bord de l'ouverture 16, la semelle 26 de fixation du joint présente la forme d'une lame sensiblement plane dont une face 34 de fixation est destinée à être collée sur la paroi 28 de bord de l'ouverture 1 6.To allow a correct adhesion of the sole 26 for attachment to the edge wall 28 of the opening 16, the sole 26 for fixing the seal has the shape of a substantially flat blade, one face 34 of attachment is intended to be glued on the wall 28 of the edge of the opening 1 6.
Par ailleurs, le guide 30 présente au moins la forme d'une équerre dont une première branche 36 est destinée à prendre appui sur le pourtour 22 de l'ouverture 1 6 et dont une deuxième branche 38 est destinée à prendre appui sur le bord 28 de l'ouverture 1 6 à proximité de la semelle 26 de fixation.Furthermore, the guide 30 has at least the shape of a bracket whose first branch 36 is intended to bear on the periphery 22 of the opening 1 6 and a second branch 38 is intended to bear on the edge 28 of the opening 1 6 near the sole 26 of attachment.
De préférence, pour limiter la complexité des formes du guide 30, la lamelle 32 de jonction réunit la deuxième branche 38 du guide 30 et la lame de la semelle 26 de fixation.Preferably, in order to limit the complexity of the shapes of the guide 30, the connecting strip 32 joins the second branch 38 of the guide 30 and the blade of the sole 26 for fixing.
La lèvre d'étanchéité 20 du joint 12 peut prendre toutes les formes utiles à la bonne réalisation de l'invention.The sealing lip 20 of the seal 12 can take all the forms useful for the good embodiment of the invention.
Toutefois, dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la lèvre 20 d'étanchéité présente une section tubulaire, et elle est reliée à la semelle 26 de fixation par l'intermédiaire d'une paroi 40 de liaison qui est agencée entre l'extrémité de la semelle 26 de fixation et l'extrémité 42 de la lèvre 20 d'étanchéité qui est opposée à l'ouvrant 18.However, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the sealing lip has a tubular section, and it is connected to the fastening flange 26 via a connecting wall 40 which is arranged between end of the sole plate 26 and the end 42 of the sealing lip 20 which is opposite the opening 18.
Il sera compris que, en variante, la lèvre 20 d'étanchéité pourrait présenter une section non pas tubulaire mais concave ouverte, c'est à dire sensiblement en forme de "C".It will be understood that, alternatively, the sealing lip 20 could have a non-tubular but open concave section, ie substantially C-shaped.
Pour garantir une bonne stabilité du guide 30 par rapport au joint 12 lors de sa mise en position, le guide présente de surcroît la forme d'un "Y" comportant une troisième branche 44 comportant une lamelle 46 supplémentaire dite d'antibasculement, qui permet de prévenir tout basculement du guide 30.In order to guarantee good stability of the guide 30 with respect to the seal 12 when it is placed in position, the guide also has the shape of a "Y" having a third branch 44 comprising an additional anti-tip blade 46, which allows to prevent any tilting of the guide 30.
Cette lamelle 46 est de préférence jointive avec la paroi de liaison 40, mais n'est pas nécessairement venue de matière avec celle-ci. De la sorte le guide 30 est mai ntenu le long du joi nt 12 par deux lamelles de jonction, ce qui garantit son immobilité par rapport au joint 12 lors de la mise en position, et donc un positionnement correct du joint 12.This plate 46 is preferably contiguous with the connecting wall 40, but does not necessarily come with it. In this way the guide 30 is held along the joi nt 12 by two joining strips, which guarantees its immobility with respect to the seal 12 during the setting in position, and thus a correct positioning of the seal 12.
De manière non limitative de l'invention, plusieurs modes de collage peuvent être employés pour le collage de la semelle 26 de fixation. Toutefois, dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, la semelle 26 de fixation est collée au moyen d'un film adhésif, notamment un film en mousse synthétique pré-encollée recouverte d'une protection amovible.In a nonlimiting manner of the invention, several gluing modes can be used for gluing the fastening sole 26. However, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, the fastening sole 26 is glued by means of a film adhesive, in particular a pre-glued synthetic foam film covered with a removable protection.
Dans cette configuration, l'agencement 10 peut être assemblé sur une chaîne de fabrication selon un procédé comportant au moins une première étape (non représentée) au cours de laquelle un opérateur dégraisse la paroi 28 de bord de l'ouverture 1 6.In this configuration, the arrangement 10 can be assembled on a production line according to a method comprising at least a first step (not shown) during which an operator degreases the edge wall 28 of the opening 1 6.
Puis, au cours d'une deuxième étape, l'opérateur prend le joint 12 et enlève la protection du film adhésif. Au cours d'une troisième étape, l'opérateur met en position le joint 12 en utilisant le guide 30. A cet effet, l'opérateur incline le joint autour du pourtour 22 d'un angle "α" déterminé, typiquement de l'ordre de 1 0° à 30 °, afin d'éviter que l'adhésif n'entre en contact avec la paroi 28 de bord de l'ouverture 1 6, comme représenté à la figure 1 .Then, in a second step, the operator takes the seal 12 and removes the protection of the adhesive film. During a third step, the operator places the seal 12 in position using the guide 30. For this purpose, the operator inclines the seal around the periphery 22 by a determined angle "α", typically from order of 1 0 ° to 30 °, to prevent the adhesive does not come into contact with the edge wall 28 of the opening 1 6, as shown in Figure 1.
Il s'ensuit alors une quatrième étape au cours de laquelle l'opérateur fait pivoter le joint 12 autour du guide 30 pour que le film adhésif de la semelle 26 de fixation entre en contact avec la paroiIt then follows a fourth step during which the operator rotates the seal 12 around the guide 30 so that the adhesive film of the sole 26 of the fastener comes into contact with the wall
28 de bord de l'ouverture 1 6, dans la position représentée à la figure 2.28 edge of the opening 1 6, in the position shown in Figure 2.
Puis, au cours d'une cinquième étape, représentée à la figure 2, l'opérateur passe une roulette 48 sur une face libre 50 de la semelle 26 de fixation qui est opposée au film adhésif.Then, during a fifth step, shown in Figure 2, the operator passes a wheel 48 on a free face 50 of the sole plate 26 which is opposite to the adhesive film.
Enfin, au cours d'une sixième étape, l'opérateur sépare le guide 30 du joint 12.Finally, during a sixth step, the operator separates the guide 30 from the seal 12.
Pour ce faire, au cours de la sixième étape, l'opérateur sépare le guide 30 du joint 12 en déchirant la lamelle de jonction 32 réunissant la semelle 26 de fixation et le guide 30.To do this, during the sixth step, the operator separates the guide 30 from the seal 12 by tearing the joining strip 32 joining the attachment sole 26 and the guide 30.
De surcroît au cours de la sixième étape, l'opérateur sépare simultanément le guide 30 du joint 12 en séparant de surcroît la lamelle 46 supplémentaire d'anti-basculement, qui est jointive avec la paroi 40 de liaison. Si cette lamelle 46 n'est que jointive avec la paroi 40 de liaison, le déchirement de la lamelle de jonction 32 réunissant la semelle 26 de fixation et le guide 30 suffit à opérer la séparation de la lamelle 46 supplémentaire d'anti-basculement et de la paroi 40 de liaison.In addition, during the sixth step, the operator simultaneously separates the guide 30 from the seal 12 by further separating the additional anti-tip slat 46, which is contiguous with the connecting wall 40. If this plate 46 is only contiguous with the connecting wall 40, the tearing of the joining strip 32 joining the fastening sole 26 and the guide 30 is sufficient to effect the separation of the additional anti-tilt plate 46 and of the connecting wall 40.
Dans le cas où la lamelle 46 supplémentaire d'anti- basculement est venue de matière ou collée avec la paroi 40 de liaison, la lamelle 46 doit être elle aussi déchirée.In the case where the additional anti-tip slat 46 is made of material or bonded with the connecting wall 40, the slat 46 must also be torn.
L'invention permet donc avantageusement de monter un joint 12 de manière simple et efficace sur une paroi 28 de bord d'un ouverture 1 6. The invention therefore advantageously makes it possible to mount a seal 12 in a simple and effective manner on an edge wall 28 of an opening 1 6.
