SYSTEM FOR LOCKING/UNLOCKING AN OBJECT ON A STRUCTURE HAVING BEARING AND ALIGNING ELEMENTS BUILT INTO THE TOOLS
First Claim
1. A system for locking and/or unlocking an object, such as a power supply battery of a drive motor of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle, below a structure such as a chassis of the vehicle, the system comprising a plurality of tools, each tool comprising:
- elements for aligning said tool in relation to the object along a longitudinal axis of the structure and along a transverse axis of the structure;
elements for bearing against the underside of the structure, allowing seating of the structure around the longitudinal axis of the structure and/or around the transverse axis of the structure;
locking and/or unlocking elements intended for actuating a fixing bolt between a locking configuration, blocking the object below the structure, and an unlocking configuration, releasing the object in relation to the structure.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system for locking and/or unlocking a power battery under a vehicle chassis, comprising a plurality of tools, each of which includes elements for aligning said tool relative to the battery along a longitudinal axis and along a transverse axis, elements for bearing against the underside of the chassis and enabling balancing, and locking and/or unlocking elements for actuating an attachment bolt between a locked configuration, in which the battery is locked under the chassis, and an unlocked configuration, in which the object is released.

11. A method for removal of an object, such as a power supply battery of a drive motor of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle, below a structure such as a chassis of the vehicle, the method comprising:
-
a step of aligning a plurality of tools in relation to the object carried by the structure along a longitudinal axis of the structure and along a transverse axis of the structure; a step of seating the structure around the longitudinal axis of the structure and/or around the transverse axis of the structure by bringing the tools to bear against the underside of the structure, and where applicable by lifting the structure along a vertical axis of the structure; an unlocking step in which each tool actuates a fixing bolt, integral with the object and/or the structure, from a locking configuration, initially blocking the object on the structure, to an unlocking configuration, releasing the object in relation to the structure.

12. A method for mounting an object, such as a power supply battery of a drive motor of an electric or hybrid motor vehicle, below a structure such as a chassis of the vehicle, the method comprising:
-
a step of aligning a plurality of tools in relation to the object along a longitudinal axis of the structure and along a transverse axis of the structure; a step of seating the structure around the longitudinal axis of the structure and/or around the transverse axis of the structure by bringing the tools to bear against the underside of the structure, and where applicable by lifting the structure along a vertical axis of the structure; a locking step in which each tool actuates a fixing bolt, integral with the object and/or the structure, from an unlocking configuration, initially releasing the object in relation to the structure, to a locking configuration, blocking the object on the structure.
