ФИКСАТОР ДЛЯ ПОЗИЦИОНИРОВАНИЯ ДВЕРИ АВТОМОБИЛЯ

Номер: RU0000200253U1

Полезная модель относится к дверному фиксатору для удержания боковой двери кузова автомобиля в ее приоткрытом положении, в процессе окраски в условиях окрасочных конвейеров. Фиксатор для позиционирования двери автомобиля в ее приоткрытом положении при окрашивании кузова в сборе с дверью содержит основание, выполненное с выпуклой опорной поверхностью и элементами центровки. Элементы центровки выполнены в виде двух разнесенных выступов. Один из элементов центровки снабжен крестообразным штырем. Зацело с основанием выполнен упор в виде пустотелого корпуса, который жестко соединен с упругодеформируемым буфером и площадкой упругого фиксирующего элемента. Основание фиксатора снабжено винтом, соединенным с возможностью последующего вращения с перемычками элемента центровки. Винт выполнен с конусной заходной частью. Упругий фиксирующий элемент снабжен выступающим носиком, соединенным посредством упругодеформируемого усилителя с площадкой фиксирующего элемента. Закрепление фиксатора на стойке кузова обеспечено за счет создания натяга между основанием с выпуклой опорной поверхностью и плоскостью стойки кузова. Позиционирование фиксатора обеспечено контактом между элементами центровки фиксатора и квадратными отверстиями (условно не показаны) стойки кузова. Упругодеформируемый буфер располагается на высоте менее четырех миллиметров от плоскости стойки кузова, что предотвращает смещение кромки двери с упругодеформируемого буфера. Технический результат от использования всех существенных признаков полезной модели заключается в снижении трудоемкости монтажа и демонтажа фиксатора, при обеспечении надежной фиксации двери в приоткрытом состоянии в процессе окраски и исключении нарушения лакокрасочного покрытия фиксируемой детали (двери). 3 з.п. ф-лы, 3 ил.
