Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement for controlling a lock fitted to a motor vehicle, by means of a lock.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a arrangement for mechanical transmission of a movement of rotation between a rotary output member, belonging to a lock of a motor vehicle, and a rotary input member, whose axis of rotation is not coaxial with that of the outlet, belonging to a mechanism of a lock, by means a transmission shaft.
  • an intermediate transmission element which can be a linkage and preferably a drive shaft simple design and allowing angular drive without play of the lock mechanism to which it can transmit relatively large couples.
  • the invention proposes an arrangement for the mechanical transmission of a rotational movement between a rotary output member, belonging to a lock of a motor vehicle, and a rotary input device whose axis of rotation is not coaxial to that of the output member, belonging to a mechanism a lock, by means of a drive shaft, of the type wherein each of the two opposite ends of the shaft transmission, front and rear, is linked in rotation to one of the two rotary members, output and input respectively, by an articulated transmission joint authorizing a fault relative alignment between the axis of the propeller shaft and the axis of rotation of the corresponding rotary member, characterized in that the front transmission joint is a universal joint so that the drive shaft is immobilized longitudinally with respect to the rotary outlet member.
  • the arrangement 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a latch 12 of which only a stator 14 has been shown, which is for example intended to equip a vehicle door automobile, and its rotary output member 16 which is mounted at rotation in the stator 14 about an axis A1.
  • the output member rotary 16 is axially linked to an internal element 18 by a elastic ring 20, or circlips, received radially in a throat 22.
  • the latch 12 is intended to rotate one lock mechanism which is shown schematically a rotary member 24 for movement input which is provided for turn relative to a lock case not shown on the figures, around an axis of rotation A3.
  • the transmission of movement between the rotary output member 16 and the rotary input member 24 is ensured by means of a shaft transmission 26, of longitudinal axis A2, both of which opposite longitudinal ends, front 28 and rear 30, are respectively linked in rotation to the output member 16 and to the input member 24 each by a transmission joint articulated allowing a misalignment between the axis A2 of the transmission shaft 26 and the axis of rotation A1, A3 of the corresponding rotary member 16, 24.
  • the articulated transmission joint arranged at the end rear 30 mainly consists of a sphere hinge 32 which has two diametrically radial arms opposites 34 that extend outward, this set being received in the open tubular end 36 opposite the rotary input member 24 including the cylindrical internal housing 38 is complementary to the dimensions of the sphere 32 and which has two through axial slots 40 which receive sliding and rotating the arms 34.
  • This design known makes it possible to introduce axially, from front to back, the end 30 in the member 24.
  • the articulated transmission joint that connects the longitudinal end front 28 of the drive shaft 26 to the rotary member of outlet 16 is an articulated universal joint, i.e. two axes are concurrent and which immobilizes longitudinally the two components hinged together around a center of rotation.
  • Cardan joint has a hinge sphere 42 which is received axially in a cylindrical bore 44 of axis A1 formed in a tubular extension 46 of the end longitudinal rear of the rotary outlet member 16.
  • the articulation joint has a cylindrical rod articulation 48 which extends diametrically, along an axis A4 perpendicular and concurrent to the axis A1, and which is mounted in the tubular extension 46 in the manner of a pin diametral.
  • the articulation sphere has a circular hole 50 through which the articulation rod 48 extends vertically with slight play so as to allow relative rotation of the sphere 42 relative to the fixed articulation rod 48 around the A4 axis.
  • the circular hole 50 is arranged in an axial plane of the transmission shaft 26 and in a diametrical plane of the sphere 42 centered on the axis A2, and it extends vertically, up and down (considering Figures 1 and 2), by an upper guide 54 and lower guide slot 56.
  • the two slots 54 and 56 are symmetrical with respect to to the vertical median plane corresponding to the section plane of the Figure 2 and relative to the median horizontal plane in which extends the circular hole 50.
  • each of the slots guide 54 is, as can be seen in particular in the figure 3, equal to the diameter of the hole 50 and is therefore substantially equal the diameter of the articulation rod 58.
  • Each of the two slots 54, 56 which extends in a vertical median plane of the drive shaft 26 has a flared profile opening upward and downward respectively bottom and which, in the example illustrated in the figures, is a profile in V.
  • the sphere articulation 42, and therefore the drive shaft 26 can rotate in both directions around a transverse axis A5 perpendicular and concurrent with the axis A4 of the articulation rod 48, that is to say that, overall, the longitudinal end front 28 of the drive shaft 26 is articulated with respect to to the outlet member 16 by a universal joint whose center of rotation C, corresponding to the intersection of axes A4 and A5, corresponds to the intersection point of axes A1 and A2.
  • a lightly calibrated spring 60 for initial alignment of axes A1 and A2 is arranged around the drive shaft 26 between its front end 28 and the tubular extension 46.
  • the V-shaped profile of the slots 54, 56 allows a angular movement of the drive shaft 26 around the axis A5 which is for example equal to 30 ° on either side of the aligned position illustrated in Figure 2, the travel angle of the drive shaft 26 around the axis A4 being determined by the abutment of the end front longitudinal 28 against the circular edge which surrounds it the rear end of bore 44.
  • the transverse width along the axis A5 is substantially equal to the external diameter of the articulation rod 48, there is no possibility of rotation of the drive shaft 26 around its axis A2 relative to the outlet member 16 and the end rear 30 of the drive shaft 26 is thus oriented angularly precisely with respect to the organ of output 16.
  • This angular indexing characteristic of the articulation sphere 32 with its arms 34 allows, when mounting the arrangement 10 on a vehicle, and in particular during the axial blind insertion of the rear end 30 in the rotary input member 24, to angularly orient these two elements, the original angular position of the output 16 relative to stator 14 resulting from the design of the lock 12.
  • the sphere of articulation convex 42 is guided in rotation in a surface portion concave complementary spherical 62 formed in the bore 44 of the output member 16.
  • the output member 16 is produced in two parts.
  • a first rear part 16A is a part whose general design corresponds to that of the output device 16 in a single piece illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 and described previously.
  • the second front part 16B is rotatably mounted relative to part 16A, around the axis A1, with a possibility of limited relative angular movement.
  • the circular edge of longitudinal end rear 64 of the front part 16B has a tab 66 axially oriented which is received in a groove circular arc device 68 formed in the circular edge peripheral 70 facing the front part 16A.
  • the two angular ends 72 of the groove 68 in cooperation with tab 66, delimit the angular travel relative of the two parts 16A and 16B.
  • Part 16A has a slot 74 for the radial introduction of the elastic ring 20 which ensures the mutual axial retention of the two parts 16A and 16B.
  • the articulation rod 48 constitutes a vertical branch with radial orientation of a single element 76 in folded piano cord.
  • the articulation rod 48 extends outside by a branch 78 of axial orientation which extends axially forward to extend through a notch 80 formed in the edge 70 of the rear part 16A to penetrate at inside the open rear face of the rear part 16B.
  • the axial branch 78 can be received in a notch or axial groove 82 formed in the cylindrical wall internal ring 84 of the rear part 16B between two flats 86 which extend along a cord.
  • the industry axial 78 is elastically deformable in one direction radial so as to allow its escape out of the groove or notch 82 to allow limited rotation between the two parts 16A and 16B.
