Description

Title of the invention: Pivoting finishing element in the body of a motor vehicle

[0001] The invention relates to the fixing of a pivoting hubcap in the body of a motor vehicle. The invention relates more specifically to a pivoting hatch integrated into an exterior panel of a motor vehicle. The subject of the invention is an assembly with an exterior panel, a pivotally mounted support, a finishing element for a motor vehicle. The subject of the invention is also a motor vehicle.

[0002] The energy required for the operation of a motor vehicle is charged via a dedicated area. This area generally comprises a hatch mounted to pivot relative to the structure of the motor vehicle, and therefore relative to its bodywork. This makes it possible to obtain energy from the outside; which meets requirements of comfort, ergonomics and safety. The energy supply is provided by an electrical connection, by a flow of liquid or gaseous fuel. Hybrid motor vehicles combine several energies of different natures.

[0003] The energy hatch is integrated into the bodywork while respecting reduced mechanical clearances in order to preserve the perceived quality. Still with a view to perceived quality, the hatch is generally dressed by a finishing element. Such a finishing element includes a plate similar to the bodywork, an acronym, or even a badge. The finishing element is assembled on a mounting support. The latter is pivotally mounted relative to the structure of the motor vehicle.

[0004] Document CN113200009A describes an electric charging hatch with a A side hinge that is arranged on the bumper of an electric motor vehicle. The charging hatch comprises a grid body, a charging port flip cover, and a bracket. A mounting recess is formed in the middle of the grid body. The charging port flip cover can be lifted to open. The charging port flip cover comprises a label, a base, and a flip cover seat. The label, the base, and the flip seat are arranged in a stacked manner and are fixed by screws. A rotating shaft is arranged on the flip seat and is butt-jointed with the bracket via a hinge. The assembly space is reduced, and the cost of the locking latch is reduced. However, screw fixing complicates assembly since it involves the presence of added elements and additional fixing operations.

[0005] Document KR100930703B1 describes a fuel flap with a hinge on the side. The fuel filler flap has a cover skin that is secured by a sliding system. The fuel filler flap is in two parts, including an outer panel and an inner panel. These panels are shaped so that they can be separated from each other, and also to be coupled to each other. The inner panel is provided with four sliding projections to be coupled with the outer panel. The outer panel is provided with four guide projections to be coupled to the four sliding projections.

[0006] During assembly, an assembler may shift one of the guide projections relative to the associated sliding projection. As a result, the coupling of the fixing surfaces is not correct, and the fixing is random. The panels are not positioned properly relative to each other. The outer panel may become detached and lost.

[0007] The invention aims to address at least one of the problems or drawbacks encountered in the prior art.

[0044] In the following description, the term "comprise" is synonymous with "include" and is not limiting in that it allows the presence of other elements in the motor vehicle or assembly to which it relates. It is understood that the term "comprise" includes the terms "consist of". The terms "external" and "internal" will designate respectively that which is oriented towards the outside of the vehicle and towards the inside of the vehicle.

[0045] In the present description, the term "longitudinal", the term "longitudinally", the term "transverse", and the term "transversely" are used according to the reference frame of the vehicle, in the mounting configuration. The term "longitudinal" corresponds to the main direction of movement of the vehicle. The term "transverse" generally corresponds to a direction perpendicular to the main direction of movement of the vehicle. The term "front" refers to the main direction of movement of the vehicle. The term "rear" designates the opposite of the front of the vehicle.

[0046] The X axis represents the longitudinal direction, the Y axis represents the transverse direction, and the Z axis represents the vertical direction of the motor vehicle. These three axes define a direct trihedron whose orientation is preserved throughout the figures.

[0047] In the present description, the ranges of values ​​include the limits which delimit them.

[0048] In the present description, the term "vertical" and the term "horizontal" are not to be understood in the strict sense of the term. Indeed, they allow an inclination of at most 20°, preferably at most 10°, more preferably at most 5°, even more preferably at most 2°; compared to the strict sense of these terms.

[0049] In the present description, the technical characteristics are defined in the mounting configuration, in the closed position of the assembly, unless explicitly mentioned otherwise.

[0050] Throughout the description, the different figures use the same reference signs to designate identical or similar entities.

[0051] [Fig.l] represents a motor vehicle 10 according to the invention. The motor vehicle 10 comprises energy storage means and at least one motor (not shown) adapted to drive said motor vehicle 10.

[0052] The motor vehicle 10 comprises a structure 12, also called a body. The structure 12 forms a frame and supports various components of the motor vehicle 10, including the engine and openings. The structure 12 partially forms the body 14 of the vehicle at the level of the roof, the front wings, the pillars. The body 14 forms the external envelope of the motor vehicle 10. The bodywork 14 is profiled in order to guide air flows.

[0053] On the front side, the motor vehicle 10 comprises a front bumper system 16. The front bumper system 16 comprises an assembly 18. The assembly 18 forms a collection of entities of the bodywork 14. The front bumper system 16, in particular its assembly 18, is adapted to withstand impacts at speeds up to 10 km / h, preferably up to 15 km / h, without there being any need to replace specific parts of the vehicle. The front bumper system 16 is also adapted to limit the extent of injuries in the event of a pedestrian impact.

[0054] The front bumper system 16 comprises a bumper skin 20. The bumper skin 20 forms the bodywork 14. It extends to the hood 22 and to the side wings. The bumper skin 20 includes front lighting devices, such as headlights. It comprises at least one exterior panel 24. The bodywork 14 may comprise other exterior panels 24, for example forming the side wings. Each exterior panel 24 is generally smooth. It has a continuous and / or homogeneous exterior surface. The assembly 18 includes the exterior panel 24. It also includes a finishing element and a support on which the finishing element is mounted.

[0055] The motor vehicle may, for example, be a private motor vehicle or a utility motor vehicle.

[0056] [Fig.2] shows an assembly 18 for a motor vehicle body. The motor vehicle may correspond to that presented in relation to [Fig.l].

[0057] The assembly 18 comprises: an outer panel 24 with a cutout 26; a support 28 pivotally mounted relative to the outer panel 24. The assembly 18 further comprises a finishing element 30 in the cutout 26. The cutout 26 provides access to a recharging cavity 32. It forms an opening. It describes a closed loop. It is surrounded by the outer panel 24. The recharging cavity 32 houses, for example, a recharging socket (not shown). Such a recharging socket is known per se to those skilled in the art and will not be detailed further.

[0058] According to an alternative or an option of the invention, the recharging cavity 32 has a fuel filling orifice. The latter communicates with a fuel tank.

[0059] The outer panel 24 is a bumper skin panel 20, in this case a front bumper skin panel. It incorporates at least one air intake grille 34. In the present illustration, the air intake grille 34 has a square mesh; however, any other type of mesh can be adopted.

[0060] In the present illustration, the finishing element 30 is shown in position open. It can be further opened. It is also able to pivot in order to be flush with the outer panel 24; and therefore to reach a closed position. The presence of the finishing element 30 in the bumper skin 20 facilitates its integration. The finishing element 30 is for example a hubcap. It can include a logo. Thus, different logos can be mounted on the same type of support 28.

[0061] [Fig. 3] shows a finishing element 30 as mounted on a support 28 for a motor vehicle body assembly. The motor vehicle may correspond to that shown in relation to one of Figures 1 to 2. The exterior panel 24 is shown in dotted lines.

[0062] The outer surface 36 of the finishing element 30 forms the body of the motor vehicle. The outer surface 36 is a front surface. The finishing element 30 generally forms a plate.

[0063] The support 28 comprises a bent portion 38. The bent portion 38 makes it possible to bypass the edge of the cutout 26 when the support 28 is in the open configuration. The presence of the bent portion 38 increases the maximum opening angle, and therefore the accessibility of the reloading cavity 32.

[0064] The support 28 comprises a pivot connection 40. The support 28 forms a hinge knuckle. The pivot connection 40 is intended to be connected to the structure of the motor vehicle, for example to the exterior panel 24. In the present embodiment, the pivot connection 40 has a vertical axis of rotation. Opposite the bent portion 38 and / or the pivot connection 40, the support 28 comprises a boss 42. The boss 42 is an internal boss. It makes it possible to maintain the support 28 in the closed position; flush with the exterior panel 24.

[0065] The support 28 and the finishing element 30 have a mounting interface 44 between them. The mounting interface 44 is a fixing zone. It has a mounting direction 46 of the finishing element 30 on the support 28. The mounting direction 46 is an insertion direction, or an assembly direction. It is defined in a reference frame linked to the support 28.

[0066] [Fig.4] partially shows the support 28 of an assembly 18 for a motor vehicle body. The motor vehicle may correspond to that shown in relation to one of FIGS. 1 to 3. The finishing element 30 is partially shown in dotted lines. The boss 42 and a part of the bent portion 38 are shown.

[0067] The mounting interface 44 comprises at least one pad 48 with an assembly slot (not shown). In this case, the mounting interface 44 has six pads 48, each with an assembly slot. Any other number of pads 48 can be chosen. The pads 48 are distributed over the extent of the mounting interface 44.

[0068] The mounting interface 44 has a mounting direction 46 of the finishing element 30 on the support 28. The mounting interface 44 also comprises retention means 50 configured to be inserted into the or each stud assembly slot 48 according to the mounting direction 46. The retention means 50 are configured to attach the support 28 and the finishing element 30.

[0069] The retention means 50 comprise at least one guide rail 52, in this case two guide rails 52. The guide rails 52 are generally parallel. They are symmetrical. Each guide rail 52 forms a fixing rail configured to fix the finishing element 30 to the support 28.

[0070] At least one or each guide rail 52 comprises a first section 54 extending along the assembly slot, and preferably all along the associated stud 48. The first section 54 is in contact with the associated stud. At least one or each guide rail 52 also comprises a second section 56 extending beyond the first section 54 in the mounting direction 46. The second section 56 is inclined relative to the first section 54 in order to guide the finishing element relative to the support via the stud 48 during mounting. More generally, the configuration of the guide rail 52 makes it possible to guide the stud 48 against the second section 56 then the first section 54 when the finishing element 30 is docked against the support 28.

[0071] The guide rail 52 comprises a third section 58 parallel to the first section 54. The second section 56 connects the third section 58 to the first section 54. Thus the guide rail 52 is segmented and continuous.

[0072] Each guide rail 52 and the studs 48 associated with said rail form an assembly module 60. Thus, the mounting interface 44 has a first assembly module and a second assembly module. These assembly modules are symmetrical. The first sections 54 and the third sections 58 are parallel. However, in each guide rail 52, the third section 58 is offset relative to the first section; perpendicular to the mounting direction 46. Thus, the studs 48 associated with it are offset relative to each other. This configuration makes it possible to materialize a foolproofing device. This further promotes the correct positioning of the support 28 relative to the finishing element 30.

[0073] According to the assembly direction 46, the second sections 56 diverge. They move away from each other. This forms a funnel facilitating the positioning and indexing in position of the associated studs 48. This configuration promotes the matching of the support 28 and the finishing element 30. During assembly, an operator feels the guidance provided by the inclination of the second section 56.

[0074] According to one embodiment, the spacing between the first sections 54 is less than or equal to the width 62 of the pads 48 associated with the first sections 54. The width 62 is measured on the opposite faces of the pads 48. These opposite faces are facing away from each other. This mechanical adjustment allows a natural friction force to be generated during assembly. This friction allows an operator to feel a resistance that confirms correct positioning. The support 28 and the finishing element 30 are arranged in a predefined manner.

[0075] The mounting interface 44 comprises a retention stop (not shown) and an elastic blade 64 configured to cooperate with the retention stop, depending on the mounting direction. The first section 54 is between the second section 56 and the elastic blade 64. The elastic blade 64 forms an end of travel.

[0076] In the present illustration, the stud 48 is formed by the support 28 and the guide rail 52 is formed by the finishing element 30.

[0077] According to an alternative of the invention, the stud is formed by the finishing element and the guide rail is formed by the support.

[0078] [Fig. 5] shows a mounting interface pad 48 for an assembly for a motor vehicle body. The motor vehicle may correspond to that shown in relation to one of FIGS. 1 to 4. The pad 48 is representative of at least one or each pad 48 shown in [Fig. 4]. The finishing element is not shown for the sake of clarity.

[0079] The pad 48 is essentially hollow. The pad 48 is open. The pad 48 comprises an assembly slot 66. The assembly slot 66 comprises a bottom 68. The bottom 68 is in the assembly direction. The bottom 68 is intended to cooperate with one end of the guide rail (not shown), for example an excess thickness of the guide rail.

[0080] The finishing element is generally planar. It comprises a plate. The finishing element comprises a main plane 70. The assembly slot 66 is open parallel to the main plane 70. This configuration improves the stability of the attachment at the mounting interface. The mounting is more secure.

[0081] The pad 48 includes a ramp 72 projecting from the main plane 70. The ramp 72 projects over the support 28 toward the finishing element. The ramp 72 extends to the assembly slot 66. The ramp 72 adds another inclined surface. It is opposite the bottom 68.

[0082] [Fig. 6] shows a finishing element 30 of an assembly for a motor vehicle body. The motor vehicle may correspond to that shown in relation to one of FIGS. 1 to 5. Studs 48 of the support are shown in dotted lines as a reference.

[0083] The finishing element 30 generally forms a plate. It has a main plane 70, which is a geometric plane. It may correspond to a mean plane. The main plane 70 is formed by the plate. In the present embodiment, the plate is rectangular. According to an alternative of the invention, the plate is oval, or according to any other geometry.

[0084] According to one option of the invention, the guide rails 52 are identical and symmetrical. In the remainder of the description, reference will be made to one of the guide rails 52 to describe both.

[0085] The guide rail 52 forms a broken line. The second section 56 is inclined relative to the first section 54 by an angle of inclination 74. The angle of inclination 74 is measured on the plate. It can be measured in the mounting interface 44. The angle of inclination 74 is measured in the main plane 70. The angle of inclination 74 is between 3° and 20°; preferably between 5° and 10°. For example, the angle of inclination 74 measures 9°. The ranges of angles of inclination 74 presented above provide a compromise between the guidance generated and compactness.

[0086] The mounting interface 44 comprises a retention stop 76 and an elastic blade 64 configured to cooperate with the retention stop 76, according to the mounting direction 46. The first section 54 is between the second section 56 and the retention stop 76.

[0087] The retention means 50 comprise at least one excess thickness 78 formed on the first section 54. The excess thickness 78 is in one of the stud assembly slots 48 in order to connect the finishing element 30 to the support. In the present embodiment, the retention means 50 comprise six excess thicknesses 78, each associated with one of the studs 48. The excess thicknesses 78 are distributed along the guide rails 52. They allow fixing all along the mounting interface 44.

[0088] [Fig. 7] shows a guide rail 52 of a finishing element 30 of an assembly for a motor vehicle body. The motor vehicle may correspond to that presented in relation to one of FIGS. 1 to 6.

[0089] The extra thicknesses 78 extend vertically. One extra thickness 78 is arranged in the first section 54, two others in the third section 58. These two other extra thicknesses 78 are offset relative to the associated one in the first section 54. The second section 56 is inclined relative to the first section 54 and to the third section 58. It is generally curved.

[0090] The guide rail 52 is integral with the finishing element 30. It can be produced by molding. The excess thickness 78 forms a hook inserted into a slot in order to ensure retention, for example in the longitudinal direction. Each excess thickness 78 projects from the guide rail 52. It projects along the main plane 70.

[0091] According to a preferred embodiment, the support and the finishing element are made of at least one plastic or composite material. The plastic material may comprise a thermoplastic material or a thermosetting material. According to a preferred embodiment, the plastic material is selected from the group comprising polypropylene, polyamide, polyphthalamide, polyetherether resins. therketone, polyphenylene sulfide, polyamide-imide, polyetherimide, polyarylamide, polyepoxide, unsaturated polyester, vinylester or polyester-vinylester. For example, the composite material comprises a matrix of a plastic material as described above with a reinforcement. For example, the reinforcement comprises glass or carbon fibers.

[0092] The support and / or the finishing element comprises at least 10% by weight of recycled plastic material based on the total weight of the plastic material; preferably from 10 to 80% by weight; more preferably from 20 to 60% by weight or from 30 to 40% by weight.
