Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement with a sensor, which is designed to define a zero position of the relevant sensor for detecting deflection movements and for positioning the sensor in this zero position. It relates to an arrangement by means of which deflections are detected on a ball joint, which serves for the storage of parts of a technical system, preferably of parts of a motor vehicle chassis.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un dispositif destiné à définir une position zéro pour un capteur, qui sert à détecter les mouvements de déviation de pièces (10, 11), reliées l'une à l'autre par un joint à rotule (1, 2, 3), d'un système technique. Le dispositif est constitué d'un boîtier (1) du joint à rotule (1, 2, 3), le boîtier étant relié d'une manière rigide à une première partie (10) du système, d'un pivot à rotule (2, 3) relié d'une manière rigide à une deuxième partie (11) du système, et d'un capteur (8, 9), qui détecte les mouvements de déviation du pivot à rotule (2, 3), et qui comprend au moins deux éléments capteurs complémentaires l'un à l'autre, dont l'un est disposé contre le pivot à rotule (2, 3) et un autre sur une partie (10) du système, partie qui est immobile par rapport au boîtier de joint (1). La surface latérale du pivot à rotule (2, 3), qui par ailleurs a une section transversale circulaire, est aplatie dans une zone axiale (6), qui est mise en liaison avec correspondance de forme avec un contour intérieur, de configuration correspondante, d'un œillet de montage (5) qui, pour sa fixation, est traversé par le pivot à rotule (2, 3), ou d'un élément (7) en forme de disque, dans ce dernier cas l'élément (7) en forme de disque s'appuyant contre l'œillet de montage (5), et pour sa part étant, par une liaison avec correspondance de forme avec son contour extérieur, fixé, dans la direction périphérique, à la partie (11) reliée au pivot à rotule (2, 3).
