Definitions

  • the technical field of the invention is that of pyrotechnic actuators comprising a piston and whose essential function is to exert a thrust to move an object by causing the piston to emerge.
  • the pyrotechnic actuators according to the invention are particularly suitable for use in safety systems implemented in motor vehicles and intended, for example, to dampen the movement of certain parts that have been set in motion during a mechanical shock. of the motor vehicle with an external element, such as a seatbelt, the front bumper of the vehicle, the steering column or the bonnet of the vehicle in the event of a frontal collision between the vehicle and a pedestrian.
  • This jack comprises a pyrotechnic gas generator, a piston, a pyrotechnic combustion chamber and a back pressure chamber and an intermediate chamber in said combustion chamber and an end of the piston.
  • a channel connects the intermediate chamber to the backpressure chamber. The gases emitted by the generator pressurize the intermediate chamber to oppose the movement of the piston and thus dampen its stroke, a portion of said gases being conveyed by the channel to the counter-pressure chamber.
  • the patent application FR 2,824,875 relates to a pyrotechnic actuator having a body, a piston, and a washer for retaining said piston in said body.
  • the actuator may either push on an object by causing said piston to emerge from said body, or release a mechanical part by retracting the piston into said body.
  • the pyrotechnic actuators described in these two patents have a nominal operation characterized by a constant amplitude displacement of the piston, thus generating a unique effect on the parts or objects intended to interact with said actuators.
  • the pyrotechnic actuators according to the invention involve a mechanical pressure regulating device in the sliding chamber of the piston for controlling the thrust force or the displacement amplitude of said piston. In this way, the pyrotechnic actuators according to the invention have a variable thrust effect or even a configurable stroke and can therefore be adapted to a plurality of configurations requiring more or less displacement of the piston.
  • the object of the present invention relates to a pyrotechnic actuator comprising a pyrotechnic gas generator, a combustion chamber, a piston that can move in a sliding chamber under the effect of said gases, the two chambers being in communication with one another. the other.
  • the main characteristic of an actuator according to the invention is that it comprises a shutter device implemented after the actuator has been triggered to interrupt the communication between said chambers, said shutter device being included in the sliding chamber. In this way, the shutter device is housed in a chamber already existing to avoid having to design a third room. It follows that the actuators according to the invention are compact and that their machining is simplified.
  • the shutter device is autonomous and can be triggered from a control unit.
  • the decoupling of the triggering of the shutter device with that of the actuator contributes to increasing the flexibility of use of said actuator by allowing easy programming of the sequence of the two ignitions.
  • the two chambers are of cylindrical shape and have their axes of revolution parallel to each other, said chambers being interconnected by a connecting channel whose axis is perpendicular to those of said chambers.
  • the pyrotechnic gas generator is included in the combustion chamber and comprises an igniter and a pyrotechnic charge.
  • the closure device comprises a hollow cylindrical body fixed in the sliding chamber, a motor and a shutter, said body having connecting means which, in combination with the connecting channel, enable communication between the chamber. combustion chamber and the space of the sliding chamber in which the piston is located.
  • connection means are constituted by at least one lateral bore located in the hollow cylindrical body in continuity with the connecting channel, and by a passage placed at one end of said body, said passage providing communication between the interior of said body and the space of the sliding chamber in which the piston is located.
  • the lateral bore provides communication between the connecting channel and the interior of the hollow cylindrical body.
  • the hollow cylindrical body comprises a circular peripheral groove at the bottom of which have been made several bores, said groove being partially defined by the inner wall of the sliding chamber, and the connecting channel opening into said groove.
  • the bores are regularly distributed around said hollow body.
  • the hollow cylindrical body abuts against an internal shoulder of the sliding chamber.
  • the engine is a pyrotechnic gas generator.
  • said motor is constituted by an electropyrotechnic igniter, possibly reinforced by a charge of powder generating gas.
  • the shutter is housed in the hollow cylindrical body and said shutter has an enlarged head adapted to slide in a sealed manner in said body, said head being extended by a cylindrical portion of reduced section ending in an enlarged cylindrical portion having a flat. More specifically, the outer surface of said enlarged head is in contact with the inner surface of said hollow body, sealing being effected by means of a circular seal surrounding said head, said seal being crushed against the inner surface of said hollow body .
  • the enlarged head has a frustoconical end and the end of the body in which is located the passage ends with a frustoconical recess adapted to receive said frustoconical portion of the shutter.
  • the shutter is made of a deformable material so that, after the motor is tripped, the shutter moves in the hollow cylindrical body until the frustoconical part of the enlarged head fits perfectly into the body. recess frustoconical said body.
  • the pyrotechnic actuators according to the invention have the advantage of being autonomous and having a small footprint thanks to a great simplicity of design. They can thus be easily inserted into any type of device or object requiring the functions required by such actuators. In addition, they have all the advantages associated with the use of pyrotechnic charges, namely: reliability due to control of ignition, reduced space requirement due to the small size of the pyrotechnic charges, and great variability of the effects due to the diversity. pyrotechnic compositions that can be retained for these actuators. Finally, the use of pyrotechnic charges allows sequential ignition perfectly controlled between the actuator and the shutter device.
  • the figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an actuator according to the invention at the beginning of operation.
  • the figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the actuator of the figure 1 during operation, the shutter device has not yet been triggered.
