Description

DISPOSITIF DE CONDAMNATION D'UN OUVRANT DE VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE DEVICE FOR CONVICTING A SUNLOCK OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif pour condamner l'ouverture d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile et plus particulièrement à un dispositif comprenant un premier élément solidaire d'un élément de structure du véhicule coopérant avec un second élément solidaire de l'ouvrant et permettant l'immobilisation définitive de l'ouvrant après la première fermeture.The present invention relates to a device for blocking the opening of a motor vehicle opening leaf and more particularly to a device comprising a first element integral with a structural element of the vehicle cooperating with a second element integral with the opening element and allowing the final immobilization of the opening after the first closing.
On sait que lorsqu'un véhicule de cinq portes est destiné à être vendu eh tant que véhicule de société, il est nécessaire selon la législation de certains pays de condamner l'ouverture des portes arrières.We know that when a five-door vehicle is intended to be sold as a company vehicle, it is necessary under the legislation of certain countries to condemn the opening of rear doors.
Classiquement, une telle condamnation de l'ouverture des portes est réalisée par la mise en place de pattes rapportées, par exemple par soudage ou par rivetage, reliant le caisson de la porte à un élément de structure du véhicule.Conventionally, such a condemnation of the opening of the doors is carried out by the installation of attached tabs, for example by welding or by riveting, connecting the box of the door to a structural element of the vehicle.
De tels dispositifs présentent l'inconvénient de nécessiter une opération supplémentaire sur la chaîne de montage et dans la plupart des cas de nécessiter un réglage de la position de la porte afin de mettre en vis à vis les éléments de fixation solidaire de la porte et ceux solidaire de la structure du véhicule.Such devices have the disadvantage of requiring an additional operation on the assembly line and in most cases of requiring an adjustment of the position of the door in order to place opposite the fastening elements integral with the door and those integral with the vehicle structure.
Le but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un dispositif pour la condamnation d'un ouvrant qui soit rapide à mettre en oeuvre en étant actif dès la première fermeture de la porte et qui accepte des dispersions de positionnement de l'ouvrant par rapport à son encadrement et qui soit simple et économique à réaliser.The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a device for locking an opening which is quick to implement while being active as soon as the door is closed for the first time and which accepts dispersions for positioning the opening with respect to its supervision and which is simple and economical to carry out.
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif de condamnation d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile comprenant un premier élément fixé à un élément de structure du véhicule automobile et un second élément fixé à l'ouvrant, le premier élément coopérant avec le second élément pour bloquer l'ouvrant en position fermée.The invention relates to a device for locking a motor vehicle opening comprising a first element fixed to a structural element of the motor vehicle and a second element fixed to the opening, the first element cooperating with the second element to lock the opening in the closed position.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif de condamnation d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile est caractérisé en ce que le premier élément présente un corps venant s'insérer dans une ouverture du second élément lors de la fermeture de l'ouvrant, le second élément comportant des moyens de retenue empêchant le mouvement du corps en sens inverse.According to the invention, the locking device of a motor vehicle opening is characterized in that the first element has a body which is inserted into an opening of the second element when the opening is closed, the second element comprising retaining means preventing movement of the body in the opposite direction.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen de retenue est constitué d'une rondelle élastique comportant un trou destiné à recevoir le corps, le trou ayant un diamètre inférieur au diamètre extérieur du corps et présentant sur sa périphérie des rainures radiales de façon à former des dents flexibles.According to another characteristic of the invention, the retaining means consists of an elastic washer comprising a hole intended to receive the body, the hole having a diameter less than the outside diameter of the body and having radially grooves on its periphery to form flexible teeth.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la rondelle est de forme tronconique et est orientée de manière à ce que les dents flexibles convergent dans le sens de pénétration du corps à travers le trou lors de la fermeture de la porte.According to another characteristic of the invention, the washer is of frustoconical shape and is oriented so that the flexible teeth converge in the direction of penetration of the body through the hole when the door is closed.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le second élément est constitué d'un boîtier comportant un logement dans lequel la rondelle élastique est emprisonnée, le logement étant adapté de manière à permettre un mouvement radial de la rondelle, cette dernière possédant sur sa périphérie une collerette cylindrique dont les extrémités viennent à proximité immédiate des parois du logement afin de limiter le mouvement axial de la rondelle.According to another characteristic of the invention, the second element consists of a housing comprising a housing in which the elastic washer is trapped, the housing being adapted so as to allow a radial movement of the washer, the latter having on its periphery a cylindrical flange, the ends of which come in close proximity to the walls of the housing in order to limit the axial movement of the washer.
Selon une autre caractéristique du dispositif objet de l'invention, le premier élément est constitué d'un rivet de type rivet POP dont le corps est cylindrique.According to another characteristic of the device which is the subject of the invention, the first element consists of a rivet of the POP rivet type, the body of which is cylindrical.
Selon une autre caractéristique du dispositif objet de l'invention, le boîtier comporte un fût cylindrique se prolongeant par un épaulement, le fût cylindrique du boîtier venant s'insérer dans une ouverture adaptée d'une paroi du caisson jusqu'à l'appui de l' épaulement sur la paroi, le boîtier étant immobilisé contre la paroi à l'aide d'oreilles portées par le fut cylindrique et venant enserrer la paroi.According to another characteristic of the device which is the subject of the invention, the housing comprises a cylindrical barrel extending by a shoulder, the cylindrical barrel of the housing coming to be inserted in a suitable opening of a wall of the box until the shoulder rests on the wall, the housing being immobilized against the wall using ears carried by the barrel cylindrical and enclosing the wall.
Dans une variante de réalisation du dispositif objet de l'invention, les premier et second éléments sont inversés, le premier élément étant solidaire de l'ouvrant et le second élément étant solidaire de l'élément de structure du véhicule.In an alternative embodiment of the device which is the subject of the invention, the first and second elements are reversed, the first element being integral with the opening and the second element being integral with the structural element of the vehicle.
On comprendra mieux les buts, aspects et avantages de la présente invention, d'après la description donnée ci-après d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention, présenté à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en se référant aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :The aims, aspects and advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the description given below of an embodiment of the invention, presented by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein :
- la figure 1 est une vue d'un côté de caisse d'un véhicule automobile présentant l'emplacement d'un dispositif de condamnation d'un ouvrant selon l'invention;- Figure 1 is a view of a body side of a motor vehicle having the location of a locking device of an opening according to the invention;
- la figure 2 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'un dispositif de condamnation d'un ouvrant selon l'invention avant son installation sur le véhicule ;- Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of a locking device of an opening according to the invention before its installation on the vehicle;
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe axiale du dispositif de condamnation d'un ouvrant de la figure 2 lorsque celui-ci est opérationnel sur le véhicule.- Figure 3 is an axial sectional view of the locking device of an opening of Figure 2 when it is operational on the vehicle.
Pour faciliter la lecture des dessins, les mêmes pièces portent les mêmes références d'une figure à l'autre. Par ailleurs, seuls les éléments nécessaires à la compréhension de l'invention ont été figurés.To make the drawings easier to read, the same parts have the same references from one figure to another. Furthermore, only the elements necessary for understanding the invention have been shown.
Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 1 présentant un côté de véhicule automobile comportant deux portes latérales, le dispositif de condamnation de la porte arrière 1 est avantageusement disposé à proximité des éléments de serrure de la porte 1 dans une zone dans laquelle une partie du caisson de la porte 2 est en regard d'un élément de structure 4 du véhicule.As can be seen in FIG. 1 showing a side of a motor vehicle comprising two side doors, the device for locking the rear door 1 is advantageously arranged near the locking elements of the door 1 in an area in which a part of the box of the door 2 is opposite a structural element 4 of the vehicle.
Le dispositif, représenté sur les figures 2 et 3, comporte un boîtier 2 destiné à être monté sur le caisson de la porte arrière 1 et un rivet 3 fixé sur l'élément de structure 4 du véhicule et destiné à s'insérer dans le boîtier 2 pour coopérer avec ce dernier lorsque la porte arrière 1 est fermée.The device, shown in Figures 2 and 3, comprises a housing 2 intended to be mounted on the rear door casing 1 and a rivet 3 fixed on the structural element 4 of the vehicle and intended to be inserted in the housing 2 to cooperate with the latter when the rear door 1 is closed.
Le rivet 3, tel que représenté sur la figure 3, est fixé sur l'élément de structure 4 et possède un corps 7 formé par une tige cylindrique faisant saillie perpendiculairement à l'élément de structure 4.The rivet 3, as shown in FIG. 3, is fixed to the structural element 4 and has a body 7 formed by a cylindrical rod projecting perpendicularly to the structural element 4.
Le boîtier 2, réalisé par exemple par moulage en matière plastique, est constitué d'un fût cylindrique 21 creux obturé à une extrémité par une paroi 11, l'autre extrémité du fût cylindrique 21 se prolongeant par un épaulement 22 comportant un filetage sur sa périphérie, non représenté sur les figures, permettant la mise en place d'un flasque 23 par vissage.The housing 2, produced for example by plastic molding, consists of a hollow cylindrical barrel 21 closed at one end by a wall 11, the other end of the cylindrical barrel 21 being extended by a shoulder 22 having a thread on its periphery, not shown in the figures, allowing the establishment of a flange 23 by screwing.
Le flasque 23 présente, en son centre, une ouverture 25 destinée à laisser passer le corps 7 du rivet 3 et comporte deux trous 20 disposés de part et d'autre de l'ouverture 25 et destinés à permettre l'insertion d'ergots portés par un outil pour faciliter le vissage ou le dévissage du flasque 23. Afin de permettre un décalage axial du corps 7 vis à vis de l'ouverture 25, cette dernière possède un diamètre nettement supérieur au diamètre du corps 7 du rivet 3.The flange 23 has, in its center, an opening 25 intended to allow the body 7 of the rivet 3 to pass and comprises two holes 20 arranged on either side of the opening 25 and intended to allow the insertion of carried lugs by a tool to facilitate the screwing or unscrewing of the flange 23. In order to allow an axial offset of the body 7 with respect to the opening 25, the latter has a diameter much greater than the diameter of the body 7 of the rivet 3.
Le boîtier 2 comporte un logement 5, délimité par l'épaulement 22 et le flasque 23, dans lequel une rondelle élastique 6 est disposée et possède une cavité 8 formée par l'intérieur du fût cylindrique 21 permettant le passage du corps 7 du rivet 3. La rondelle 6, réalisée par exemple dans un matériau métallique possédant une bonne élasticité, possède une forme tronconique et comporte en son centre un trou 24 muni de dents flexibles 28 destinées à permettre le passage du corps 7 du rivet 3 dans un seul sens. La rondelle élastique comporte également sur sa périphérie une collerette 26 s' étendant parallèlement à l'axe de symétrie de la rondelle 6 sur une hauteur légèrement inférieure à la hauteur du logement 5 afin que le débattement axial de la rondelle élastique 6 à travers le logement 5 soit limité sans toutefois empêcher son mouvement radial. Le diamètre de la rondelle élastique 6 est supérieur au diamètre de la cavité 8 de manière à ce que la collerette 26 prenne correctement appui sur la paroi intérieure 29 de l'épaulement 22 et inférieur au diamètre du logement 5 de manière à permettre un débattement radial de la rondelle élastique 6 à travers le logement 5.The housing 2 comprises a housing 5, delimited by the shoulder 22 and the flange 23, in which an elastic washer 6 is disposed and has a cavity 8 formed by the interior of the cylindrical barrel 21 allowing the body 7 of the rivet 3 to pass. The washer 6, made for example from a metallic material having good elasticity, has a frustoconical shape and has at its center a hole 24 provided with flexible teeth 28 intended to allow the body 7 of the rivet 3 to pass in one direction only. The elastic washer also has on its periphery a flange 26 extending parallel to the axis of symmetry of the washer 6 over a height slightly less than the height of the housing 5 so that the axial movement of the elastic washer 6 through the housing 5 is limited without however preventing its radial movement. The diameter of the elastic washer 6 is greater than the diameter of the cavity 8 so that the flange 26 is properly supported on the inner wall 29 of the shoulder 22 and less than the diameter of the housing 5 so as to allow a radial clearance of the elastic washer 6 through the housing 5.
Le boîtier 2 comporte également à la périphérie du fût cylindrique 21 des oreilles 27 disposées à proximité de l'épaulement 22 et destinées au maintien du boîtier 2 lorsque celui ci est inséré dans une ouverture pratiquée sur une paroi 9 du caisson de la porte 1.The housing 2 also includes, at the periphery of the cylindrical barrel 21, ears 27 disposed near the shoulder 22 and intended to hold the housing 2 when the latter is inserted in an opening made on a wall 9 of the box of the door 1.
L'immobilisation du boîtier 2 sur la porte 1 est effectuée en insérant le fût cylindrique 21 dans l'ouverture de la paroi 9, cette ouverture possédant des encoches adaptées pour permettre le passage des oreilles 27 dans une position angulaire du boîtier 2 donnée, puis en effectuant une rotation du boîtier 2 de manière à amener les oreilles 27 dans une position pour laquelle la paroi 9 du caisson est enserrée entre l'épaulement 22 et les oreilles 27.The immobilization of the housing 2 on the door 1 is carried out by inserting the cylindrical barrel 21 in the opening of the wall 9, this opening having notches adapted to allow the passage of the ears 27 in a given angular position of the housing 2, then by rotating the housing 2 so as to bring the ears 27 to a position for which the wall 9 of the box is clamped between the shoulder 22 and the ears 27.
Le fonctionnement du dispositif de condamnation va maintenant être décrit.The operation of the locking device will now be described.
Lors de la première fermeture de la porte 1, le corps 7 du rivet 3 solidaire de l'élément de structure 4 s'insère dans l'ouverture 25 du boîtier 2 jusqu'à venir au contact des dents flexibles 28 de la rondelle 6. En poursuivant le mouvement de fermeture de la porte 1, les dents 28 s'inclinent en direction de l'intérieur du fût cylindrique 21 sous la pression du corps 7, la rondelle élastique 6 se centrant alors automatiquement sur le corps 7 du rivet 3 par les efforts générés sur les dents 28. Le corps 7 s'insère alors à travers le trou 24 pour pénétrer dans la cavité 8 du fût cylindrique 21, les dents flexibles 28 se trouvant en appui contre la surface du corps 7.When the door 1 is closed for the first time, the body 7 of the rivet 3 secured to the structural element 4 is inserted into the opening 25 of the housing 2 until it comes into contact with the flexible teeth 28 of the washer 6. Continuing the closing movement of the door 1, the teeth 28 tilt towards the interior of the cylindrical barrel 21 under the pressure of the body 7, the elastic washer 6 then automatically centering on the body 7 of the rivet 3 by the forces generated on the teeth 28. The body 7 is then inserted through the hole 24 to penetrate into the cavity 8 of the cylindrical barrel 21, the flexible teeth 28 being in abutment against the surface of the body 7.
La porte 1 est alors condamnée en position fermée, le mouvement d'ouverture de la porte 1 étant bloqué par l'accrochage des dents 28 sur le corps 7. Avantageusement, la surface du corps 7 du rivet 3 peut être striée pour augmenter l'adhérence des dents 28 sur la surface du corpsThe door 1 is then locked in the closed position, the opening movement of the door 1 being blocked by the attachment of the teeth 28 on the body 7. Advantageously, the surface of the body 7 of the rivet 3 can be striated to increase the adhesion of the teeth 28 on the surface of the body
7.7.
Le dispositif de condamnation ainsi réalisé présente l'avantage d'être inaccessible de l'extérieur du véhicule et d'être démontable, sans détérioration de la porte 1, en accédant au boîtier 2 par l'intérieur du caisson de la porte 1 et en libérant le boîtier 2 par rotation. Par ailleurs, un tel dispositif présente l'avantage d'être facile à monter sur le véhicule et d'autoriser une grande dispersion de positionnement du boîtier solidaire du caisson vis à vis du rivet fixé sur l'élément de structure grâce à l' autocentrage de la rondelle élastique sur le rivet. Un tel dispositif présente également l'avantage de pouvoir être monté sur la porte et sur la structure du véhicule avant le montage de la porte sur le véhicule et de réahser la condamnation automatique de la porte sans qu'aucune intervention ne soit nécessaire après la fermeture de la porte.The locking device thus produced has the advantage of being inaccessible from outside the vehicle and of being removable, without deterioration of the door 1, by accessing the housing 2 from the inside of the box of the door 1 and by releasing the housing 2 by rotation. Furthermore, such a device has the advantage of being easy to mount on the vehicle and of allowing a large dispersion of positioning of the housing secured to the box with respect to the rivet fixed to the structural element by means of self-centering. of the elastic washer on the rivet. Such a device also has the advantage of being able to be mounted on the door and on the vehicle structure before the door is mounted on the vehicle and to rehase the automatic locking of the door without any intervention being necessary after closing Door.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated, which has been given only by way of example.
Au contraire, l'invention comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci sont effectuées suivant son esprit.On the contrary, the invention includes all the technical equivalents of the means described as well as their combinations if these are carried out according to the spirit.
Ainsi, à l'inverse de l'exemple décrit précédemment le boîtier peut être monté solidaire d'un élément de structure du véhicule et le rivet peut être monté solidaire de la porte. Thus, unlike the example described above, the housing can be mounted integral with a structural element of the vehicle and the rivet can be mounted integral with the door.
