Definitions
- the present invention relates to an assistance device for the opening / closing of opening. It relates in particular to devices and systems for opening / closing vehicle side openings, such as sliding side doors.
- the invention intends to overcome the drawbacks of the devices of the prior art by proposing an assistance device for the opening / closing of opening simple and particularly easy to mount on the vehicle so that its cost is reduced and its reliability in the increased time.
- the assistance device is more efficient because the control unit acts directly on the cable whose working path is infinite because of its circular winding, or loop, in a double-walled rail. Also because of this arrangement, the control unit can be placed at any place in contact with the rail cable, inside and outside the passenger compartment of the vehicle. This allows a great flexibility of the device and allows it to be integrated on a vehicle whatever the space available, during the construction of the vehicle but also for a ride on a used vehicle.
- the assistance device opening / closing is easy to mount / fix on the vehicle, especially because said device is fully assembled prior to its mounting / attachment to the vehicle.
- FIG. 1 shows all the elements making up the device according to the invention, namely a double wall rail 1, forming a double cavity housing a cable, not shown in the appended figures, and a control unit 2.
- the rail 1 has orifices 3 for attachment to the vehicle, here on one side of the vehicle because the device is intended to assist the opening of a sliding side door.
- the control unit 2 comprises a motor 4, a drive shaft 5, a drum housing 6 housing the drum 9.
- the motor 4 typically an electric motor, serves for the rotation of the drive shaft 5, protruding at one end.
- an actuating wheel 7 is fixed to the end of the driving shaft 5.
- the motor 4 is connected, via here two fixing arms 8, to a drum 9 consisting of a drum housing 6 whose outer surface is adapted to engage the cable of the rail 1 so as to transmit the rotation of the drum 9 to the cable.
- the drum 9 comprises a circular peripheral portion 10 comprising a set of crenellations, or teeth, adapted to cooperate with the actuating wheel 7 located at the end of the drive shaft 5.
- the peripheral circular portion 10 is assembled with the drum housing 6 or these two elements 6, 10 constitute a single together.
- the end of the drive shaft 5 may consist of a worm cooperating with a toothed wheel, not visible in Figure 3, connected to the drum 9 and transmitting to it the movement of said motor shaft 5.
- control unit 2 is fixed to the double wall rail 1, via the drum 9, at an opening made in the wall of the vehicle and extending as far as to the inner wall of the rail. This last opening must be just sufficient to allow access to a portion of the drum 9 so that the outer surface of the latter 9 contacts the cable and communicates its movement, if any. Thus, when the drum 9 rotates, the cable moves rectilinearly.
- the cable is not shown in the accompanying figures because it consists of a current metal cable capable of being controlled for its rectilinear movement by the drum 9 of the control unit 2.
- the double wall rail 1 comprises an intermediate wall 11 delimiting a first cavity with the inner wall 12, and delimiting a second, semi-open cavity with the outer wall 13 which does not extend up to the lower end, that is to say that the second cavity is not completely closed in particular to allow the replacement of the cable.
- the guiding means integral with the tensor means, is here constituted by a wheel / pulley 17 fixed at its center of symmetry, that is to say at the center of the circle formed by said wheel / pulley 17, on the inclined central rod 16 of the housing 15.
- the housing 15 is fixed to the rail 1 via the nut 18 and the two pins 19.
- the nut 18 is positioned on either side of a recess 21 present at the end of the rail 1.
- the nut 18 consists of a central axis and two beveled cylindrical heads with a diameter greater than the width of the recess, so that when the nut is inserted into the recess, the axis of said nut tilts slightly. This inclination of course coincides with that of the central rod of the housing, so that the central rod 16 can be inserted into the nut 18.
- the two pins 19 of identical shape pass through the rail 1 by two recesses 22, and the housing 15 at two oblong holes.
- the two pins 19 consist of a central rod and a beveled cylindrical head, with a diameter greater than the width of the recess, so that when the pins are inserted into the recesses, their axes are inclined slightly relative to the normal of the rail, identical to the plane formed by the bottom 24 of the housing 15. Again, the inclination of the axis of the pins 19 is substantially the same as that of the central rod 16 and the the axis of the nut 18 so that their axis is perpendicular to the surface of the housing 15 to have a good fixation.
- the pins 19 serve to slide the housing 15 relative to the rail 1.
- the entire housing 15 and the elements it contains is connected to a fixed pin of the rail 23, via a spring 20, here helical.
- the device according to the invention is firstly based on the use of a double wall rail 1 in which is housed and move a cable for driving a sliding side door.
- the rail 1 consists of a first inner wall 12 whose outer face is contiguous and attached to a wall of the vehicle.
- the inner face of this inner wall delimits with an intermediate wall 11, extending to its lower end, a first closed cavity in which the cable flows.
- an outer wall 13, which does not extend to its lower end, defines with the intermediate wall, a second semi-open cavity, or semi-closed, in which also circulates the cable.
- the rail 1 therefore consists of two cavities.
- the first, inner side is completely closed, with the exception of the longitudinal ends to allow the circulation of the cable, and obviously at the drum 9.
- the second, outer side is semi open or semi closed, so the cable is accessible for removal or repair.
- the first cavity has the same semi-open cavity, or semi-closed, than that of the second cavity.
- the cavity, inner side may be delimited directly by the vehicle wall and the intermediate wall 11 of the rail 1.
- the inner wall 12 of the rail has been removed.
- the cable forms inside these two cavities of the rail a continuous or closed chain extending rectilinearly or linearly in the rail.
- the guide means here the wheel / pulley 17, is fixed slightly inclined with respect to the vertical axis, that is to say the axis of the inner walls 12, 11 intermediate and outer 13 of the double wall rail 1
- This inclination is preferably chosen on the order of 9 °, but it will generally be between 5 ° and 15 °.
- the wheel / pulley 17 makes it possible, on the one hand, to change the direction of movement of the cable at the end of the rail and, on the other hand, because of its inclination, to pass the cable from the interior cavity of the rail towards the outer cavity, so that the cable allows a working length, or deflection, that is to say a drive path, almost infinite.
- the cable is composed of two sections instead of one, each of the sections being fixed by one of its ends to the drum 9 and the other of its ends to the sliding door or to the interface with the sliding door, conventionally a wheeled trolley designed to translate in the semi-open outer part of the rail.
- the wheel / pulley 17 is also inclined so that its upper portion is found in front of the semi-open outer cavity, and that its lower portion is in front of the closed interior cavity.
- the cable will therefore be guided and stretched in the closed upper part of the outer cavity, thus avoiding any possibility of cable exit from the cavity.
- the cable is always framed or guided by / thanks to / the walls of the rail 1 while allowing the easy catch / recovery of the cable.
- the central rod 16 of the housing extends outwardly into a nut 18 positioned in a recess 21 at the end of the rail 1.
- the housing 15 is also traversed by two pins 19 positioned in two recesses 22 and located between the wheel / pulley and the inlet of the two cavities of the rail to facilitate guiding the housing 15 on the surface of the rail.
- the recesses 21, 22 in which are housed the two guide pins 19 and the central rod 16 allow the housing 15 to slide guided by said recess 21, 22.
- the sliding of the housing 15 is in translation according to the longitudinal axis of the rail 1, that is to say along the axial extension of said rail 1 at its respective ends.
- a tension spring 20 is connected on the one hand to a pin 23, attached to the end of the rail 1, and on the other hand to a portion secured to the housing 15.
- it is the rod 16 of the housing 15, but it may be envisaged to fix this spring 20 at other locations on the wheel / pulley 17 or on one of the aforementioned pins 19.
- the cable is set in motion by means of a control unit 2 comprising a motor 4, a motor shaft 5 and a drum 9.
- the drum 9 When the drum 9 is rotated by the motor 4, it communicates a movement to the cable, either to close the opening in a direction of rotation of the drum 9 or to open in the other direction of rotation of the drum 9.
- the drum 9 communicates a displacement cable to ensure the opening or closing of the sliding side door.
- the control unit 2 is fixed to the double-walled rail 1, via the drum 9, at an opening made in the vehicle wall and extending as far as the inner wall 12 of the rail 1.
- the opening can be made at any point along the length of the rail 1.
- the opening must be just sufficient to allow access to a portion of the drum 9 so that the outer surface of the latter contacts the cable and communicates its movement.
- a potentiometric position sensor may for example be integrated directly to the drum, more particularly on the axis of the drum. Position sensors may also be integrated on the rail, and more particularly within the cavity of the double-walled rail, in particular at both ends of the rail. The openings for fixing the double-walled rail to the vehicle can serve as a support for these sensors.
- the drum 9 will thus be in contact with the portion of the cable that circulates in the inner cavity of the rail.
- the drum 9 is located partly inside and partly outside the vehicle. It will be noted that the double-walled rail serves as a support for all the parts of the device, forming a module.
- control unit is rotatable about the axis of the drum 9 to facilitate assembly, being inserted from outside the vehicle.
- the rail may comprise n cavities and an adequate number of tensor means of the cable, for example three cavities and four tensioning means, located in pairs, at each end of said rail.
