Definitions
- the present invention relates to a complementary device for closing the rear edge of a side sliding vehicle door, the lock controlling its opening and closing is generally located in the middle of its front edge.
- the latter is usually hung at several points or internal arms of the door support on pendular carriages movable in support rails: upper or lower rails of the frame extending inside the vehicle and / or outside center rail.
- One or more guide rollers integral with the front edge of the door, or its arms, are mobile in second inner guide rails having, at the end of the race, an oblique or bent part leading this edge against the front upright of the frame .
- the rear edge of the door can be driven similarly.
- the trolley of the outer rail is connected to the rear edge of the door by an articulated arm which, when this trolley arrives at the end-of-travel stop, performs a rotation then engaging this rear edge in the amount corresponding to the frame.
- Document EP 0 157 391 describes such a device based on a cup mounted mobile in rotation on the edge of the door above or below the lock while being driven in rotation by a motor also installed in the door, this cup carrying a spiral cam interacting with a tenon of the frame.
- this cup being directly actuated by the motor, it is advisable to provide an additional device based on a vertically movable hook to fix the angular position of rest of this cup where it no longer interferes with the tenon.
- This known device is therefore relatively complex.
- the document GB 2 140 501 discloses a device for closing the rear edge of a side sliding vehicle door which comprises a lug fixed to the door and a finger controlled in rotation by a pin connected to a motor.
- the tenon and the finger are arranged in the same plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. This arrangement allows the door to be inserted into its frame, provided that the latter is very close to the frame.
- the door is hinged and not sliding, which means that it can always be approached close enough to the vehicle frame.
- EP 0 312 958 and EP 0 262 052 relate to locking devices for a lock mounted on the door of a vehicle, and not to devices for closing the door in its frame, before the locking of this one.
- the object of the present invention is a complementary device for closing the rear edge of a sliding side door of a vehicle making it possible to obviate the problem mentioned above.
- a device must in particular be powerful enough to reliably ensure the complete insertion of a sliding side door in its frame, and this practically in all circumstances even if this door is brought only at a low speed.
- the necessary drive power must however be reasonable so as not to involve a motor that is too bulky.
- this device must also have a relatively simple design to increase its reliability, to facilitate and limit its maintenance, and to reduce its cost.
- a device for closing the rear edge of a side sliding door of a vehicle comprising:
- electromechanical means capable of driving the part in an alternating rotation from a rest position in which the finger is located outside the path of movement of the tenon, so that, in the first direction, the finger hooks the post to pull the door in its frame, then in the opposite direction so that the finger returns to the rest position, or vice versa, on the one hand the protruding post of the frame, on the other hand the rotating part provided with the finger and the electromechanical means belonging to the door, - as well as means for detecting the arrival of the door close to the frame, these detection means triggering a cycle of the electromechanical drive means, characterized in that the axis of rotation is parallel but offset from that of the tenon when the door is in the closed position.
- This device based on a naturally simple movement of a finger pushing a tenon to bring and force the door into its frame, then return to the rest position, allows a simplified construction and installation, therefore a reasonable cost.
- This autonomous device can in particular be attached to an already used vehicle.
- the more or less offset position of the axis of rotation of the finger ensures sufficient clearance of the latter so that it catches in a simple and reliable manner a door stopping far enough from its frame.
- the movement in the opposite direction of the finger may be immediate, or may only be carried out subsequently, for example during the reopening of the door command, this device then constituting a means of complementary holding of the door in the closed position.
- the rotary part is an axis mounted in one or more bearing type supports against the rear side wall of the vehicle, respectively rear wall of the door, the end of which emerges in the frame carries the finger, and the other end of which carries an oscillating arm perpendicular to this axis, the electromechanical drive means applying to the end of this oscillating arm, through an articulation, an alternative movement substantially in translation.
- articulation is meant a connection ensuring a certain degree of freedom, either in rotation around a pivot point such as a ball joint, or in limited translation within an oblong opening or a slide along this arms.
- this oscillating arm has a plurality of attachment points for the connecting rod fixing articulation, thus making it possible to adjust the torque of forces transmitted.
- This oscillating arm makes it possible to convert a displacement substantially in vertical translation of the drive means into an alternative rotation of the axis in an angular range for example from 90 to 120 °, preferably 110 °, this rotation transmitted to the finger allowing it to push the door post.
- a great advantage of this arrangement is that one can easily multiply the mechanical torque transmitted by more or less increasing the length of this oscillating arm relative to the radius of action of the finger. This allows this device to be adapted to a wider range of vehicles.
- Another advantage of this device is that one can use a plurality of translational drive means available on the market, such as jacks.
- the means for driving substantially in translation of the end of the swinging arm comprise a connecting rod connected on the one hand to this end of the swinging arm, preferably by a ball joint, and connected on the other hand, also preferably by a ball joint at one end of a rotary arm, the other end of which is integral with the output shaft of a gearmotor coupled to the means for detecting the arrival of the door.
- geared motor is meant an electric motor whose output shaft is connected to a gear multiplying the number of revolutions to increase the torque and / or the output force.
- the rotary arm has a plurality of attachment points for the articulation of the connecting rod making it possible to adjust the amplitude of the alternating rotary movement and / or the torque of forces transmitted to the finger.
- the connecting rod consists of a telescopic gas and / or spring shock absorber.
- This shock absorber rod introduces an elastic element into the kinematics of the device, making any adjustment in the kinematics superfluous absorbing any mechanical stresses, for example due to an unexpected blocking of the door due to the presence of an object in the frame. .
- This shock absorber rod thus significantly extends the life and reliability of the device.
- the appended figure illustrates a portion of the external lateral wall 12 of the chassis of a vehicle, for example a passenger transport minibus, having a frame 16 in which a sliding door 10 for access to this vehicle is closed.
- a sliding door 10 for access to this vehicle is closed.
- a door is arranged in the right side wall of the vehicle, rather in front, so that the appended figure illustrates the rear part of this door 10 as viewed back from the right side and behind the vehicle.
- the outer wall 12 can be completed by a second portion of the inner wall 12b arranged opposite.
- this door 10 when it is closed, this door 10 first performs a translation T directed towards the front of the vehicle by following support and guide rails not shown, then, by a translation movement Tr along an oblique line or an arc -de-circle, makes a movement oriented towards the interior of the vehicle to enter the frame 16 and lean against seals.
- the movement of this door is, in the context of this invention, automated by a drive device, for example such as that described in document WO 93/17211 of the applicant, the content of which forms part of the present description by virtue of this quotation.
- the rear edge of the door 10 is provided with a substantially horizontal lug 20 and oriented rearwards in the plan of this door 10.
- this tenon 20 may belong to a support plate 22 itself bolted or welded against the edge of this door.
- a tubular support 34 is rigidly held by a fixing 36 against the internal face of the external lateral vertical wall 12 or against the external face of the internal wall 12b of the vehicle, and this substantially horizontally slightly below the lug 20.
- This tubular support 34 has a support bearing function for an internal rotary axis 32 whose end emerging in the door frame 16 has a perpendicular finger 30.
- this finger 30 is found, in the rest position, substantially horizontally, under the tenon 20, and perpendicular to the rotary axis 32 therefore also perpendicular to the axis of the tenon.
- This finger 30 can be an elongated parallelepiped or, as illustrated, have an arcuate shape in the direction of the tenon 20.
- the end of the axis 32 opposite the finger 30 carries an oscillating arm 40 perpendicular and substantially horizontal.
- this arm 40 is oriented on the same side as the finger 30, it being understood that it could, in the context of the invention, also be oriented always substantially horizontally, on the side diametrically opposite by relative to axis 32.
- the end of the finger 40 is connected by a hinge 52 to the upper end of a telescopic rod 50, the lower end of which is connected by a hinge 54 to one of the ends of a rotary arm 60, the other of which end is integral with the output shaft of a geared motor 70.
- the oscillating arm 40 has a plurality of orifices 42 for positioning the articulation 52 for fixing the connecting rod 50.
- the rotary arm 60 has, at its radial end, a plurality of attachment points 62 on the other end of the connecting rod 50.
- the connecting rod 50 is constituted by a telescopic gas shock absorber and / or spring constituting an elastic element in the kinematics of this device.
- the device described above operates in the following manner.
- the appended figure illustrates the device in its rest position corresponding in particular to a moment when the door 10 is open.
- the rotary arm 60 is in a vertical position facing downwards so that the swinging arm 40 is pulled downwards which directs the finger 30 secured to the other end of the axis 32 substantially horizontally, that is to say in a position which does not interfere with the path of the tenon 20 when the door 10 is opened and closed.
- Detection means not illustrated apply an electrical signal to the gearmotor 70 when the automatic drive device of the door 10 has made it perform the forward translation T and has engaged the final phase of movement Tr in translation towards the interior of the vehicle .
- This control pulse triggers a first phase during which the output shaft of the gearmotor 70 makes a U-turn which brings the rotary arm 60 to the vertical position.
- the direction of rotation of the gearmotor 70 is indifferent.
- the connecting rod 50 rises, driving with it the oscillating arm 40 which rotates counterclockwise as seen in the figure, driving the finger in the same direction. 30.
- this second phase can be delayed until the reception of a new pulse representative of an order to open the door applied simultaneously with the automatic drive device of this door.
- the complementary device according to the invention ensured the locking of the rear part of the door 10 throughout the period when this door is also kept closed by the front lock.
- the tubular support 34 can be replaced by one or more axle support bearings 32 each mounted directly against the chassis of the vehicle.
- a shock absorber rod is provided, the contraction stroke of which is greater than the diameter traversed by the rotary arm 60, so that a blockage as soon as it leaves the finger 30 can be entirely absorbed by the rod 50 allowing a complete revolution of the gearmotor.
- the shock absorber rod has a contraction trigger threshold value established as a function of the limit torque of the gearmotor and the length of the rotary arm, for example between 400 N and 700 N and more particularly 500 N.
- the swinging arm 40 may have a plurality of attachment points 42 of the articulation 52 of the connecting rod 50, making it possible to modulate, as required, the torque of rotations transmitted to the finger 30.
- the arm rotary 60 can have a plurality of attachment points 62 allowing, in relation to connecting rods 50 of different lengths, to modulate the magnitude of the rotation applied to the axis 32, therefore to the finger 30. It is also possible to envisage a possibility of adjusting the longitudinal position of the ball joints 52 or 54 on the connecting rod 50.
- the geared motor 70 it is not at all necessary for the geared motor 70 to be arranged parallel to the axis 32 as illustrated in the appended figure since, depending on the configuration of this geared motor, it can be arranged in another way provided that its output axis is located in a horizontal plane so as to rotate the rotary arm in a vertical plane.
- the lug 20 then belonging to the chassis of the vehicle, the gear motor, the connecting rod 50, the axis 32 and the finger 30 then forming part of the door. 10.
