Description

La présente invention a pour objet une charnière à arrêt de porte intégré destinée à être montée sur les portes de véhicules automobiles, mais pouvant s'appliquer à tout système comportant des ouvrants. Généralement, la liaison entre la porte et la caisse d'un véhicule est assurée, au moyen de deux charnières, comportant un dispositif appelé "arrêt de porte" dont le but est de limiter la course d'ouverture de la porte et d'assurer deux arrêts à des positions intermédiaires de ladite porte, dites positions de parking et de pleine ouverture.The present invention relates to a hinge with integrated door stop intended to be mounted on the doors of motor vehicles, but which can be applied to any system comprising openings. Generally, the connection between the door and the body of a vehicle is ensured, by means of two hinges, comprising a device called "door stop" whose purpose is to limit the opening stroke of the door and to ensure two stops at intermediate positions of said door, called parking and full opening positions.

Lorsque l'on ouvre la porte, on doit produire un effort modéré pour vaincre un faible couple, mais la porte doit être fermement maintenue dans la position dite "ouverture de parking". Pour ouvrir la porte en position d'ouverture maximum dite "de pleine ouverture" où elle se trouve stoppée par l'arrêt de porte, on doit vaincre un couple beaucoup plus important. Il en est de même pour refermer ladite porte. Entre ces positions la porte doit en outre pouvoir pivoter librement tout en subissant une légère retenue. La présente invention a pour objet des perfectionnements a de telles charnières à arrêt de porte intégré dont le but essentiel est d'assurer le meilleur maintien de la porte dans les trois positions précitées, au moyen de dispositifs simples, robustes, économiques et assurant une grande longévité auxdites charnières, limitant les réparations ou remplacement.When the door is opened, a moderate effort must be made to overcome a small torque, but the door must be firmly held in the so-called "parking opening" position. To open the door in the maximum opening position called "full opening" where it is stopped by the door stop, we must overcome a much greater torque. It is the same to close said door. Between these positions the door must also be able to pivot freely while undergoing a slight restraint. The present invention relates to improvements to such hinges with integrated door stop whose essential purpose is to ensure the best maintenance of the door in the three aforementioned positions, by means of simple, robust, economical and ensuring high longevity at said hinges, limiting repairs or replacement.

La charnière à arrêt de porte intégré, selon l'invention, est constituée d'un charnon fixe monté sur la caisse du véhicule et d'un charnon mobile fixé sur la porte.
Ce charnon fixe comporte :

  • Un alésage cylindrique destiné à recevoir un axe d'articulation avec des moyens élastiques annulaires.
  • Un axe d'articulation comportant une partie centrale avec des bossages.
  • Des moyens élastiques insérés entre l'axe d'articulation et l'alésage du charnon.
The hinge with integrated door stop, according to the invention, consists of a fixed knuckle mounted on the vehicle body and a movable knuckle fixed on the door.
This fixed knuckle comprises:
  • A cylindrical bore intended to receive an axis of articulation with annular elastic means.
  • A hinge pin having a central part with bosses.
  • Elastic means inserted between the hinge pin and the bore of the knuckle.

Elle est caractérisée en ce que les moyens élastiques sont constitués d'au moins trois lames, disposées autour de l'axe d'articulation, dont l'extrémité est incurvé pour prendre appui sur l'axe d'articulation et coopérer avec les bossages de sa partie centrale.

  • En ce que chaque lame élastique est couplée avec une contre lame en métal plus rigide limitant l'élasticité de la lame.
  • En ce que l'extrémité de chaque lame élastique repose sur un profilé en élastomère.
It is characterized in that the elastic means consist of at least three blades, arranged around the axis of articulation, the end of which is curved to bear on the axis of articulation and cooperate with the bosses of its central part.
  • In that each elastic blade is coupled with a stiffer metal counter blade limiting the elasticity of the blade.
  • In that the end of each elastic blade rests on an elastomer profile.

Sur la figure 1 on a représenté une porte P de véhicule automobile avec ses charnières C1 et C2.
La charnière inférieure C2 peut être une charnière de type connu, la charnière supérieure C1 étant une charnière selon la présente invention qui va être plus particulièrement décrite en se reportant aux figures 2 à 6.
La charnière à arrêt de porte C1 selon l'invention est constituée d'un charnon fixe 1 monté sur la caisse V du véhicule au moyen d'une bride 1a et d'un charnon mobile 2 fixé sur la porte P du véhicule également au moyen d'une bride 2a de façon connue en soi.
Le charnon fixe 1 comporte un alésage cylindrique 3. Il reçoit un axe d'articulation 6 tournant entre deux paliers 7 et 8 munis de bagues autolubrifiantes 9 et 10. Ces paliers 7 et 8 sont vissés à chaque extrémité de l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1 pour permettre le montage de l'axe d'articulation 6.
Cet axe d'articulation 6 comporte une partie centrale de plus grand diamètre, 6a munie de bossages 11 répartis à sa périphérie par groupe de deux.
Entre l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1 et l'axe d'articulation 6a sont insérées trois lames élastiques ou ressorts 4 (figures 4 et 5) destinées à coopérer avec les bossages 11 de l'axe d'articulation 6a. Chaque lame élastique ou ressort 4 (figure 6) comporte à son extrémité une partie recourbée 4a destinée à appuyer sur la périphérie de l'axe 6, et à coopérer avec les bossages 11 dudit axe de manière à pouvoir s'insérer entre lesdits bossages. Derrière chaque lame élastique 4 est disposée une contre lame 5 en métal moins flexible. La contre lame 5 épouse la forme de la lame élastique 4, et la recouvre partiellement. Cette contre lame a pour objet de maintenir une certaine pression sur la lame élastique tout en laissant une élasticité à son extrémité 4a et d'obtenir un couple plus important lorsque l'extrémité recourbée 4a de la lame passe sur un bossage 11 de l'axe 6.The invention will be better understood on reading the following description of one of its preferred embodiments given by way of example and on examining the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is an elevational view of a vehicle door with its hinges according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is an elevational view of a hinge with integrated door stop, the door closed.

  • Figure 10 is a plan view of the hinge with integrated door stop according to the invention, the door being opened to the maximum.
  • Figure 11 shows, in section, a variant of the hinge axis of the hinge according to the invention.
  • FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the hinge with integrated door stop according to FIG. 11.
  • Figures 13,14 and 15 show in torque, the hinge axis of the hinge of Figure 11 in three different positions.
In Figure 1 there is shown a door P of a motor vehicle with its hinges C1 and C2.
The lower hinge C2 can be a hinge of known type, the upper hinge C1 being a hinge according to the present invention which will be more particularly described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.
The door stop hinge C1 according to the invention consists of a fixed knuckle 1 mounted on the body V of the vehicle by means of a flange 1a and a movable knuckle 2 fixed on the door P of the vehicle also by means a flange 2a in a manner known per se.
The fixed knuckle 1 has a cylindrical bore 3. It receives a hinge pin 6 rotating between two bearings 7 and 8 provided with self-lubricating rings 9 and 10. These bearings 7 and 8 are screwed at each end of the bore 3 of the knuckle fixed 1 to allow the mounting of the hinge pin 6.
This articulation axis 6 comprises a central part of larger diameter, 6a provided with bosses 11 distributed at its periphery in groups of two.
Between the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 and the hinge pin 6a are inserted three elastic blades or springs 4 (Figures 4 and 5) intended to cooperate with the bosses 11 of the hinge pin 6a. Each elastic blade or spring 4 (FIG. 6) has at its end a curved part 4a intended to press on the periphery of the axis 6, and to cooperate with the bosses 11 of said axis so as to be able to be inserted between said bosses. Behind each elastic blade 4 is arranged a counter blade 5 made of less flexible metal. The counter blade 5 follows the shape of the elastic blade 4, and partially covers it. The purpose of this counter blade is to maintain a certain pressure on the elastic blade while leaving an elasticity at its end 4a and to obtain greater torque when the curved end 4a of the blade passes over a boss 11 of the axis. 6.

Chaque lame 4 et sa contre lame 5 sont fixées sur charnon 1 à l'intérieur de l'alésage cylindrique 3, dans l'exemple représenté, au moyen de rivets 12. Bien entendu, cette fixation peut être réalisé par tout autre moyen.Each blade 4 and its counter blade 5 are fixed to knuckle 1 inside the cylindrical bore 3, in the example shown, by means of rivets 12. Of course, this fixing can be achieved by any other means.

Le charnon mobile 2 fixé sur la porte P est monté à l'extrémité supérieure de l'axe d'articulation 6 (fig.1 et 2) et est rendu solidaire dudit axe de façon que l'ouverture et la fermeture de la porte entraîne le pivotement dudit axe 6.
Le fonctionnement de la charnière selon l'invention est le suivant :
Lorsque l'on ouvre la porte, le charnon mobile 2 entraîne l'axe d'articulation 6 en rotation.
La rotation de l'axe 6 amène le bossage 11 de sa partie centrale contre la partie incurvée 4a de chacune des lames élastiques 4, cette partie 4a s'insérant entre deux bossages . Pour ce faire, les bossages 11 doivent soulever l'extrémité 4a de la lame élastique 4 et sa contre lame 5, ce qui génère un couple de manoeuvre au niveau de la porte P du véhicule.The movable knuckle 2 fixed on the door P is mounted at the upper end of the hinge pin 6 (fig.1 and 2) and is made integral with said axis so that the opening and closing of the door causes the pivoting of said axis 6.
The operation of the hinge according to the invention is as follows:
When the door is opened, the movable knuckle 2 drives the hinge pin 6 in rotation.
The rotation of the axis 6 brings the boss 11 of its central part against the curved part 4a of each of the elastic blades 4, this part 4 a being inserted between two bosses. To do this, the bosses 11 must lift the end 4a of the elastic blade 4 and its counter blade 5, which generates an operating torque at the door P of the vehicle.

Sur les figures 7 à 9, on a représenté en coupe l'axe d'articulation 6a avec les lames élastiques 4 montées dans l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1 dans trois positions différentes. Comme on peut le voir sur ces figures, les bossages 11 de l'axe 6a sont disposés par groupe de deux afin d'obtenir deux points 11a et 11b de maintien sur la course de rotation de la porte, la variation du nombre de bossages 11 par groupe permettant de faire varier le nombre de points de maintien de la porte. Sur les figures, on a représenté l'axe 6a dans la position porte ouverte (fig.7) porte ouverte en position parking (fig.8) et porte fermée (fig.9).
Bien entendu, le nombre de bossages et de lames élastiques peut être moindre ou plus élevé pour obtenir des efforts de manoeuvre différents.In Figures 7 to 9, there is shown in section the hinge axis 6a with the elastic blades 4 mounted in the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 in three different positions. As can be seen in these figures, the bosses 11 of the axis 6a are arranged in groups of two in order to obtain two points 11a and 11b for holding on the door rotation stroke, the variation in the number of bosses 11 per group allowing the number of door holding points to be varied. In the figures, the axis 6a has been shown in the open door position (fig. 7) open door in parking position (fig. 8) and closed door (fig. 9).
Of course, the number of bosses and elastic blades can be lower or higher to obtain different operating forces.

De même, les angles sont donnés à titre d'exemples et ne sont pas limitatifs.
La butée pleine ouverture est assurée par une patte 22 du charnon mobile 2 qui vient au contact avec une portée 23 du charnon fixe 1 comme représenté sur la figure 10 qui montre, en plan, la charnière selon l'invention, la porte du véhicule ouverte au maximum. Par ailleurs, le dispositif d'arrêt de porte précédemment décrit peut être inversé.
Dans cette réalisation, l'axe d'articulation 6 avec sa partie centrale 6a, comportant des bossages 11 et les lames élastiques 4 destinées à coopérer avec les bossages 11 de l'axe d'articulation 6a sont disposés dans le charnon mobile 2.Likewise, the angles are given by way of examples and are not limiting.
The full opening stop is provided by a tab 22 of the movable knuckle 2 which comes into contact with a bearing surface 23 of the fixed knuckle 1 as shown in FIG. 10 which shows, in plan, the hinge according to the invention, the door of the vehicle open to the maximum. Furthermore, the door stop device described above can be reversed.
In this embodiment, the articulation axis 6 with its central part 6a, comprising bosses 11 and the elastic blades 4 intended to cooperate with the bosses 11 of the articulation axis 6a are arranged in the movable knuckle 2.

Une variante de réalisation de la charnière à arrêt de porte intégré va maintenant être décrite. Cette réalisation a pour objet d'obtenir un couple encore plus important lors de la manoeuvre de la porte du véhicule, ce qui peut être recherché pour des portes plus lourdes.An alternative embodiment of the hinge with integrated door stop will now be described. The object of this embodiment is to obtain an even greater torque when maneuvering the vehicle door, which can be sought for heavier doors.

Dans cette réalisation, l'extrémité 4a de chaque lame élastique repose sur un profilé en élastomère fixé longitudinalement à l'intérieur de l'alésage 3 du charnon 1.
Ces profilés jouent un rôle d'amortisseur.
Lorsque l'axe 6 du charnon pivote l'extrémité recourbée 4a de chaque lame 4 est maintenue fermement au contact de la partie 6a et du passage des bossages 11, ladite extrémité comprime le profilé en élastomère et se loge entre deux bossages et s'y maintient fermement.In this embodiment, the end 4a of each elastic blade rests on an elastomer profile fixed longitudinally inside the bore 3 of the knuckle 1.
These profiles act as a shock absorber.
When the axis 6 of the knuckle pivots the curved end 4a of each blade 4 is held firmly in contact with the part 6a and the passage of the bosses 11, said end compresses the elastomer profile and is housed between two bosses and there maintains firmly.

En se reportant à la figure 11, on retrouve en coupe le charnon fixe 1 comportant un alésage cylindrique 3, un axe d'articulation 6 comportant des bossages 11 dans sa partie centrale 6a. Entre l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1 et l'axe d'articulation 6a, sont insérées trois lames flexibles 4 qui coopèrent avec les bossages 11 de l'axe d'articulation par leurs extrémités recourbées 4a. Chaque extrémité 4a repose sur un profilé 13 en élastomère. Ce profilé peut être collé à l'intérieur de l'alésage 3 du charnon 1, ou disposé dans une rainure, et s'étend sur la longueur de la lame élastique 4.
L'un des côtés du profilé a une configuration adéquate lui permettant d'épouser l'extrémité 4a de la lame élastique.Referring to Figure 11, there is in section the fixed knuckle 1 having a cylindrical bore 3, a hinge pin 6 having bosses 11 in its central part 6a. Between the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1 and the hinge pin 6a, three flexible blades 4 are inserted which cooperate with the bosses 11 of the hinge pin by their curved ends 4a. Each end 4a rests on an elastomer profile 13. This profile can be glued to the interior of the bore 3 of the knuckle 1, or disposed in a groove, and extends over the length of the elastic blade 4.
One of the sides of the profile has an adequate configuration allowing it to match the end 4a of the elastic blade.

Sur les figures 13 à 15, on a représenté en coupe l'axe d'articulation 6a de la charnière selon l'invention avec les lames élastiques 4 montées dans l'alésage 3 du charnon fixe 1, avec leurs profilés en élastomères 13, dans trois positions différentes :

  • porte fermée (figure 13)
  • porte ouverte position parking (figure 14) et porte ouverte dite "ouverture maximum" (figure 15)
   Selon l'invention pour obtenir lors de l'ouverture de la porte des couples différents, plus faibles ou plus importants, on peut également disposer un profilé élastomère dans la première réalisation décrite, comportant une contre lame afin d'avoir une élasticité différente de l'extrémité 4a de la lame élastique 4.In Figures 13 to 15, there is shown in section the hinge axis 6a of the hinge according to the invention with the elastic blades 4 mounted in the bore 3 of the fixed knuckle 1, with their elastomer profiles 13, in three different positions:
  • door closed (figure 13)
  • open door in parking position (Figure 14) and open door called "maximum opening" (Figure 15)
According to the invention to obtain, when the door opens different, lower or greater torques, it is also possible to have an elastomer profile in the first embodiment described, comprising a counter blade in order to have an elasticity different from the end 4a of the elastic blade 4.

Bien entendu, la présente invention peut s'appliquer à tout autre ouvrant dont on désire obtenir plusieurs points d'ouverture.Of course, the present invention can be applied to any other opening which it is desired to obtain several opening points.
