Description:DESCRIPTION
Technical Field
[001] This disclosure relates generally to vehicle manufacturing and assembling, and in particular to a method and a system for assisting in fitting of a fuel-flap to a vehicle body.

Background
[002] Fuel-flap of a vehicle is a hinged cover that provides access to the fuel filler neck, which is the entry point for refueling the vehicle's fuel tank. The fuel-flap serves as a protective cover for the fuel filler neck, preventing dust, debris, and unauthorized access to the fuel tank. It is typically located on the exterior body of the vehicle, usually on one side, and is designed to protect the fuel filler neck from dust, debris, and unauthorized access. When a vehicle needs refueling, the fuel-flap is opened, either by a mechanical latch or electronically controlled mechanism, allowing the fuel filler neck to be accessed. Once refueling is complete, the fuel-flap is closed securely to prevent any fuel spills and to maintain the aerodynamic profile of the vehicle.
[003] During manufacturing/assembling of the vehicle, fitting the fuel-flap is a crucial step in ensuring proper functionality and aesthetics. During assembly process, precise measurements and alignment are essential to ensure that the fuel-flap fits securely and seamlessly onto the vehicle's body. Quality control checks are often conducted to verify that the fuel-flap aligns correctly with the surrounding body panels and operates smoothly. Further, it is necessary to ensure uniform spacing and proper sealing between the fuel-flap and a fuel vent on which the Fuel-flap is to be fitted.
[004] Therefore, there is a need for a mechanism for fitting the fuel-flap during manufacturing with precision and adherence to quality standards to ensure that the vehicle meets both functional and aesthetic requirements.

SUMMARY
[005] In an embodiment, a system for assisting in fitting of a fuel-flap to a vehicle body is disclosed. The system may include a magnetic member configured to magnetically attach to the vehicle body, a linkage assembly, and a base mechanically coupled to the magnetic member via the linkage assembly. The base may include a receptacle on an inner side of the base to receive the fuel-flap. The linkage assembly may be configured to facilitate an angular movement of the base relative to the magnetic member and a fuel-vent associated with the vehicle body. The angular movement of the base may be between a first position and a second position along a movement path.
[006] In another embodiment, a method of fitting of a fuel-flap to a vehicle body is disclosed. The method may include introducing a fuel-flap within a receptacle of a base of a system for assisting in fitting of the fuel-flap to the vehicle body. The system may include a magnetic member, a linkage assembly, and the base mechanically coupled to the magnetic member via the linkage assembly. The base may include the receptacle on an inner side of the base. The method may further include positioning the base abutted with the fuel-vent, to align the fuel-flap with a profile of the fuel-vent, and upon aligning of the fuel-flap with the profile of the fuel-vent, magnetically attaching the magnetic member to the vehicle body to fix the position of the magnetic member relative to the vehicle body and to configure the base in the first position. The method may further include configuring the base in a second position upon carrying out an angular movement of the base relative to the magnetic member and the fuel-vent along a movement path. In the second position, the base may be positioned away from the fuel-vent. The method may further include fastening a hinge associated with the fuel-flap to the vehicle body, to fit the fuel-flap to the vehicle body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[027] Exemplary embodiments are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Wherever convenient, the same reference numbers are used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts. While examples and features of disclosed principles are described herein, modifications, adaptations, and other implementations are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosed embodiments. It is intended that the following detailed description be considered as exemplary only, with the true scope and spirit being indicated by the following claims. Additional illustrative embodiments are listed below.
[028] Referring now to FIG. 1, a perspective view of a system 100 for assisting in fitting of a fuel-flap to a vehicle body is illustrated, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The system 100 may include a magnetic member 102 that may be configured to magnetically attach to a vehicle body (not shown in FIG. 1). The magnetic member 102, for example, may be a permanent member or an electromagnet. Further, in some embodiments, the magnetic member 102 may define a flat surface to allow the magnetic member 102 to be attached to a flat surface (for example, a door, a side panel, etc.) associated with the vehicle body.
[029] The system 100 may further include a linkage assembly 104 and a base 106. The base 106 may be mechanically coupled to the magnetic member 102 via the linkage assembly 104. The base 106 may include a receptacle (not shown in FIG. 1, refer FIG. 2B) on an inner side of the base 106 to receive the fuel-flap (refer FIG. 2B). The linkage assembly 104 may be configured to facilitate an angular movement of the base 106 relative to the magnetic member 102, such that the angular movement of the base 106 is between a first position and a second position along a movement path.
[030] It should be noted that the movement path of the base 106 may align with a rotation path of the fuel-flap when the fuel-flap is fitted to the vehicle body upon fastening of the hinge associated with the fuel-flap to the vehicle body. During operation, the magnetic member 102 may be magnetically attached to the vehicle body, and therefore, the linkage assembly 104 may facilitate the angular movement of the base 106 relative to the magnetic member 102 and to the fuel-vent associated with the vehicle body, between the first position and the second position along the movement path. In the first position, the base 106 may be positioned abutted with a fuel-vent associated with the vehicle body, to facilitate aligning of the fuel-flap with a profile of the fuel-vent, before fitting of the fuel-flap to the vehicle body. In the second position, the base 106 may be positioned away from the fuel-vent, to facilitate fitting of the fuel-flap, by fastening a hinge associated with the fuel-flap to the vehicle body. This is explained in detail in conjunction with FIGs. 2A-2D and 3A-3D.
[031] In some embodiments, the linkage assembly 104 may include a first linkage member 108, a second linkage member 110, a third linkage member 112, and a fourth linkage member 114.

[039] Referring now to FIGs. 3A-3D, different views of the system 100 along with a fuel-flap 306 introduced within a receptacle 302 of the base 106 of the system 100 are illustrated, in accordance with some embodiments. In particular, FIG. 3A illustrates a front view 300A of the system 100 with the fuel-flap 306 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106, with the base 106 configured in the first position; FIG. 3B illustrates a side view 300B of the system 100 with the fuel-flap 306 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106, with the base 106 configured in the first position; FIG. 3C illustrates a front view 300C of the system 100 with the fuel-flap 306 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106, with the base 106 configured in the second position; and FIG. 3D illustrates a side view 300D of the system 100 with the fuel-flap 306 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106, with the base 106 configured in the second position.
[040] As shown in FIG. 3D, the base 106 of the system 100 may include the receptacle 302 for receiving the fuel-flap 306. The receptacle 302, for example, may be formed on an inner side of the base 106 and may be configured to allow the fuel-flap 306 to be temporarily attached to the base 106. In some embodiments, the base 106 may include a plurality of lugs 304 that may be positioned on the inner side of the base 106 along a periphery of the receptacle 302. The plurality of lugs 304 help in maintaining tight tolerances with respect to the vehicle body 402 to avoid undesired movement of the fuel-flap 305 upon fatting to the vehicle body 402.
[041] In the first position of the base 106, the plurality of lugs 304 may be adapted to be positioned between the fuel-flap 306 and a profile of the fuel-vent (of the vehicle, vehicle not shown in FIGs. 3A-3D), to facilitate aligning of the fuel-flap 306 with the profile of the fuel-vent. As such, when the second position of the base 106, the plurality of lugs 304 may be positioned between the fuel-flap 306 and the profile of the fuel-vent, so that the fuel-flap 306 is aligned with the profile of the fuel-vent. Further, a movement path of the base 106 (relative to the magnetic member 102) may align with a rotation path of the fuel-flap 306 when the fuel-flap 306 is fitted to the vehicle body upon fastening of a hinge associated with the fuel-flap 306 to the vehicle body.
[042] Referring now to FIGs. 4A-4D, different views of the system 100 along with the fuel-flap 306 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106 of the system 100, with the magnetic member 102 of the system attached to a vehicle body 402 are illustrated, in accordance with some embodiments. In particular, FIG. 4A illustrates a front view 400A of the system 100 with the fuel-flap 306 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106, with the base 106 configured in the first position, and the magnetic member 102 attached to the vehicle body 402; FIG. 4B illustrates a side view 400B of the system 100 with the fuel-flap 406 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106, with the base 106 configured in the first position, and the magnetic member 102 attached to the vehicle body 402; FIG. 4C illustrates a front view 400C of the system 100 with the fuel-flap 306 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106, with the base 106 configured in the second position, and the magnetic member 102 attached to the vehicle body 402; and FIG. 4D illustrates a side view 400D of the system 100 with the fuel-flap 306 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106, with the base 106 configured in the second position, and the magnetic member 102 attached to the vehicle body 402.
[043] In order to fit the fuel-flap 306 to the vehicle body 402, the fuel-flap 306 may be introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106 of the system 100. Thereafter, the base 106 may be abutted with a fuel-vent 404 associated with the vehicle body 402, to align the fuel-flap 306 with a profile of the fuel-vent 404. It should be noted that the plurality of lugs 304 positioned on the inner side of the base 106 along the periphery of the receptacle 302 may be positioned between the fuel-flap 306 and the profile of the fuel-vent 404, to thereby facilitate aligning of the fuel-flap 306 with the profile of the fuel-vent 404. As such, the plurality of lugs 304 may enable the aligning of the fuel-flap 306 with the profile of the fuel-vent 404, as well as uniform positioning of the fuel-flap 306 relative to the profile of the fuel-vent 404.
[044] Upon aligning of the fuel-flap 306 with the profile of the fuel-vent 404, the magnetic member 102 may be magnetically attached to the vehicle body 402 to fix the position of the magnetic member 102 relative to the vehicle body 402 and to configure the base 106 in the first position. As mentioned above, the magnetic member 102 may include a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. As such, to magnetically attach the magnetic member 102 to the vehicle body 402, the permanent magnet may be brought closer to the vehicle body 402, to allow the magnetic force to cause the magnetic member 102 to magnetically attach to the vehicle body 402, or the electromagnet may be switched ON to activate the magnetic force.
[045] Once the magnetic member 102 is magnetically attached to the vehicle body 402, the base 106 may be configured in the second position upon carrying out an angular movement of the base 106 relative to the magnetic member 102 and the fuel-vent 404 along a movement path. As a result, in the second position, the base 106 may be positioned away from the fuel-vent. Therefore, in the second position, a hinge associated with the fuel-flap 306 may be fastened to the vehicle body 402, to thereby fit the fuel-flap 306 to the vehicle body 402. The fitting of the fuel-flap 306 to the vehicle body 402 is further explained in conjunction with FIGs. 5A-5B.
[046] Referring now to FIGs. 5A-5B, different perspective views of the system 100 along with the fuel-flap 306 introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106 of the system 100, with the base 106 configured in the second position, and the magnetic member 102 of the system attached to a vehicle body 402 are illustrated, in accordance with some embodiments. As shown in FIG. 5A, the fuel-flap 306 is introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106 of the system 100, and the magnetic member 102 is attached to the vehicle body 402. Once the fuel-flap 306 has been aligned with the profile of the fuel-vent 404, upon configuring the base 106 in the first position and positioning the base 106 abutted with the fuel-vent 404, the base 106 may be configured in the second position. As such, in the second position, the base 106 is positioned away from the fuel-vent, and the fuel-vent 404 is open and accessible for fastening a hinge 502 of the fuel-flap 306 to the vehicle body 402.
[047] As shown in FIG. 5B, with the base 106 configured in the first position, a fastening device 504 (e.g. a nut-runner) may be introduced through the fuel-vent 404, to fasten the hinge 502 of the fuel-flap 306 to the vehicle body 402. The hinge 502 of the fuel-flap 306 may be fastened to an inner side of the vehicle body 402. Upon fastening, the system 100 is removed by detaching the fuel-flap 305 from the base 106 and detaching the magnetic member 102 from the vehicle body 402. Upon removal of the system 100, rotation path of the fuel-flap 306 aligns with the movement path of the base 106 (relative to the magnetic member 102). As such, the fuel-flap 306 retains the alignment with the profile of the fuel-vent 404.
[048] FIG. 5C illustrates a perspective view 500C including the vehicle body 402 along with the fuel-flap 306 fitted to the vehicle body 402, upon removal of the system 100 (i.e. the fuel-flap 306 detached from the base 106 and the magnetic member 102 detached from the vehicle body 402).
[049] Referring now to FIG. 6, a flowchart of method 600 of fitting of the fuel-flap 306 to the vehicle body 402 is illustrated, in accordance with some embodiments. At step 602, the fuel-flap 306 may be introduced within the receptacle 302 of the base 106 of the system 100 for assisting in fitting of the fuel-flap 306 to the vehicle body 402. As mentioned above, the system 100 may include the magnetic member 102, the linkage assembly 104, and the base 106 mechanically coupled to the magnetic member 102 via the linkage assembly 104. The base 106 may include the receptacle 302 on an inner side of the base 106.
[050] At step 604, the base 106 may be positioned abutted with the fuel-vent 404, to align the fuel-flap 306 with a profile of the fuel-vent 404. To this end, the plurality of lugs 304 may be positioned between the fuel-flap 306 and the profile of the fuel-vent 404, in the first position of the base 106, to align the fuel-flap 306 with a profile of the fuel-vent 404. The plurality of lugs 304 may be provided on the inner side of the base 106 along a periphery of the receptacle 302.
[051] At step 606, upon aligning of the fuel-flap 306 with the profile of the fuel-vent 404, the magnetic member 102 may be magnetically attached to the vehicle body 402 to fix the position of the magnetic member 102 relative to the vehicle body 402, and to configure the base 106 in the first position. At step 608, the base 106 may be configured in the second position upon carrying out an angular movement of the base 106 relative to the magnetic member 102 and the fuel-vent 404 along a movement path. In the second position, the base 106 may be positioned away from the fuel-vent 404. At step 610, the hinge 502 associated with the fuel-flap 306 may be fastened to the vehicle body 402, to fit the fuel-flap 306 to the vehicle body 402.
[052] One or more techniques are described above for assisting in fitting of a fuel-flap to a vehicle body. The system 100 as described above allows for an easy and quick installation of the fuel-flap to the vehicle body doing away with the multiple hit and trial attempts to achieve proper alignment of the fuel-flap with the fuel-vent. Further, the lugs provided on the base of the system 100 ensure uniform spacing with tight tolerances of the fuel-flap with the fuel-vent. The magnetic member allows for easy and quick attaching of the system to the vehicle body. Once the fuel-flap is successfully installed, the system can be easily detached from the vehicle body.
