Description

L'invention concerne un support de maintien d'un verrou sur un panneau d'un ouvrant de véhicule. L'invention concerne également un dispositif de verrouillage comportant un tel support de maintien, un verrou et un tuyau d'évacuation.The invention relates to a support for holding a lock on a panel of a vehicle opening. The invention also relates to a locking device comprising such a support, a latch and a discharge pipe.

L'invention trouve une application particulièrement avantageuse pour les verrous de coffre.The invention finds a particularly advantageous application for trunk locks.

Un barillet de serrure avec un moyen de maintien sur un panneau d'un ouvrant est connu du document FR 2 729 701 A1 .A lock cylinder with a holding means on a panel of an opening is known from the document FR 2 729 701 A1 .

De manière connue, un verrou présente une entrée de clé par l'intermédiaire de laquelle une clé conforme peut entraîner en rotation le rotor pour verrouiller / déverrouiller le mécanisme de serrure de l'ouvrant.In a known manner, a lock has a key entry through which a compliant key can rotate the rotor to lock / unlock the lock mechanism of the opening.

Cependant, lors de forte pluie ou lors du nettoyage du véhicule, de l'eau peut s'introduire dans l'ouvrant par l'intermédiaire de cette entrée de clé. L'eau peut également s'introduire entre le verrou et une découpe du panneau, notamment sur les verrous de coffre. Afin de ne pas bloquer le verrou en cas de gel, des trous d'évacuation sont ménagés sur le verrou. L'eau se retrouve alors coincée entre le panneau intérieur et le panneau extérieur de l'ouvrant.However, during heavy rain or during the cleaning of the vehicle, water can enter the opening through this key entry. Water can also be introduced between the latch and a cutout of the panel, especially on the trunk locks. In order not to lock the lock in the event of freezing, escape holes are provided on the lock. The water is then stuck between the inner panel and the outer panel of the opening.

De plus, lors de l'ouverture de l'ouvrant, cette eau peut venir détériorer des organes mécaniques ou électriques présents dans l'ouvrant, tels que des actionneurs, l'éclairage ou le moteur essuie glace, ou encore elle peut s'écouler sur l'utilisateur.In addition, when opening the opening, this water may deteriorate mechanical or electrical components in the opening, such as actuators, lighting or wiper motor, or it may flow on the user.

De plus, l'eau prisonnière du coffre se transforme en environnement humide et dégrade les composants et mécanismes électriques ou mécaniques.In addition, the water trapped in the trunk is transformed into a humid environment and degrades the electrical and mechanical components and mechanisms.

Selon une solution connue, une pièce récupère l'eau dans une zone du verrou pour l'amener vers un tuyau qui transfère l'eau vers l'extérieur de l'ouvrant.According to a known solution, a room retrieves water in an area of the lock to bring it to a pipe that transfers water to the outside of the opening.

Toutefois, cette solution nécessite des pièces supplémentaires ce qui complique la mise en place dans l'ouvrant et augmente les coûts de production.However, this solution requires additional parts which complicates the implementation in the opening and increases production costs.

L'invention a donc pour objectif de proposer une solution simple à moindre coût pour protéger les organes présents dans l'ouvrant contre l'eau susceptible de s'introduire par l'entrée de clé du verrou.The invention therefore aims to provide a simple solution at lower cost to protect the organs present in the opening against the water likely to be introduced by the lock key input.

À cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un support de maintien d'un verrou sur un panneau d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile, notamment d'un coffre de véhicule automobile, le verrou présentant une entrée de clé accessible depuis l'extérieur du véhicule, et un premier orifice d'évacuation de l'eau susceptible de s'introduire par l'entrée de clé, caractérisé en ce que ledit support maintien est configuré pour être fixé au panneau et comporte un logement pour recevoir le verrou, et en ce que ledit support de maintien présente un canal d'évacuation communiquant avec le premier orifice d'évacuation du verrou pour recueillir l'eau introduite par l'entrée de clé et entre le verrou et une découpe du panneau (10), et comportant un second orifice d'évacuation pour évacuer l'eau recueillie, le second orifice d'évacuation du support de maintien communiquant avec un tuyau d'évacuation.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a support for holding a latch on a panel of an opening leaf of a motor vehicle, in particular a vehicle boot. automobile, the lock having a key entry accessible from the outside of the vehicle, and a first water discharge orifice may be introduced by the key inlet, characterized in that said support support is configured for to be attached to the panel and includes a housing for receiving the latch, and in that said holding bracket has an evacuation channel communicating with the first bolt outlet to collect water introduced through the key inlet and between the latch and a cutout of the panel (10), and having a second discharge port for discharging the collected water, the second outlet of the holding bracket communicating with a discharge pipe.

Un tel support de maintien assure à la fois le maintien du verrou sur le panneau et l'évacuation de l'eau susceptible de s'introduire dans le verrou.Such a support support ensures both the maintenance of the lock on the panel and the evacuation of water that can be introduced into the lock.

Dans ces figures, les éléments identiques portent les mêmes références.In these figures, identical elements bear the same references.

On a représenté sur les figures 1a et 1b, un verrou 1 d'un ouvrant 2 (figure 4) de véhicule automobile, plus particulièrement d'un coffre de véhicule.We have shown on Figures 1a and 1b , a lock 1 of an opening 2 ( figure 4 ) of a motor vehicle, more particularly of a vehicle trunk.

Ce verrou 1, mieux visible sur la figure 2, comporte un rotor 3 qui est monté tournant, autour de l'axe Al, à l'intérieur d'un stator 5 fixe.This lock 1, better visible on the figure 2 , comprises a rotor 3 which is rotatably mounted around the axis A1, inside a fixed stator 5.

Le rotor 3 est destiné à être entraîné en rotation à l'aide d'une clé (non représentée) introduite axialement à l'intérieur du rotor 3 au travers d'une entrée de clé 7. Cette entrée de clé 7 est agencée dans une face avant 9 du rotor 3 affleurant le panneau extérieur 10 de l'ouvrant, de sorte que l'entrée de clé 7 soit accessible depuis l'extérieur du véhicule pour un utilisateur.The rotor 3 is intended to be rotated by means of a key (not shown) introduced axially inside the rotor 3 through a key inlet 7. This key input 7 is arranged in a front face 9 of the rotor 3 flush with the outer panel 10 of the opening, so that the key input 7 is accessible from outside the vehicle for a user.

Afin d'éviter le blocage du verrou par exemple en cas de gel, le verrou 1 présente un premier orifice (non représenté) d'évacuation de l'eau susceptible de s'introduire dans l'entrée de clé 7.In order to avoid blocking of the lock for example in the event of freezing, the lock 1 has a first orifice (not shown) for evacuating the water that can be introduced into the keyway 7.

De plus, l'extrémité arrière 11 du rotor 3 est destinée à entraîner en rotation un levier de commande 13, autrement appelé batteuse, par exemple par l'intermédiaire d'un entraîneur 15. Comme on le constate dans l'exemple de la figure 2, l'extrémité arrière 15a de l'entraîneur 15 vient se clipser dans un logement 17 correspondant (figures 1b et 2) du levier de commande 13.In addition, the rear end 11 of the rotor 3 is intended to drive in rotation a control lever 13, otherwise called a threshing machine, for example by means of a driver 15. As can be seen in the example of FIG. figure 2 , the rear end 15a of the driver 15 is clipped into a corresponding housing 17 ( Figures 1b and 2 ) of the control lever 13.

Ce levier de commande 13 est relié à un mécanisme de serrure (non représenté), pour agir sur ce dernier afin d'autoriser le verrouillage / déverrouillage de l'ouvrant.This control lever 13 is connected to a lock mechanism (not shown), to act on the latter to allow the locking / unlocking of the leaf.

Par sécurité, le rotor 3 comporte de manière classique des paillettes 19 (figure 2) pour autoriser la rotation du rotor 3 lorsqu'une clé conforme est introduite dans l'entrée de clé 7, et bloquer la rotation du rotor 3 sinon.For safety, the rotor 3 conventionally comprises flakes 19 ( figure 2 ) to allow the rotation of the rotor 3 when a suitable key is introduced into the key inlet 7, and block the rotation of the rotor 3 otherwise.

Plus précisément, le rotor 3 comporte des logements agencées dans des plans transversaux qui se succèdent à intervalles réguliers selon la direction de l'axe A1 du verrou 1 pour recevoir les paillettes 19. Ces paillettes 19 sont mobiles radialement dans le rotor 3.More specifically, the rotor 3 comprises housings arranged in transverse planes which succeed each other at regular intervals in the direction of the axis A1 of the latch 1 to receive the flakes 19. These flakes 19 are movable radially in the rotor 3.

Lorsqu'on introduit une clé conforme à l'intérieur du rotor 3, les paillettes 19 sont entièrement escamotées radialement vers l'intérieur dans le rotor 3 pour coopérer avec la clé conforme.When a suitable key is introduced inside the rotor 3, the flakes 19 are entirely retracted radially inwards in the rotor 3 to cooperate with the correct key.

Au contraire, lorsqu'on introduit dans le rotor 3 une clé non conforme, ou tout autre outil, les paillettes 19 ne sont pas entièrement escamotées et sont sollicitées vers une position saillante dans laquelle elles dépassent à l'extérieur des logements du rotor 3 et sont reçues à l'intérieur de logements correspondants du stator 5. Ainsi, les paillettes 19 immobilisent le rotor 3 en rotation par rapport au stator 5.On the other hand, when a non-compliant key or any other tool is introduced into the rotor 3, the flakes 19 are not entirely retracted and are biased towards a protruding position in which they protrude outside the housings of the rotor 3 and are received inside corresponding housings of the stator 5. Thus, the flakes 19 immobilize the rotor 3 in rotation with respect to the stator 5.

En outre, un support de maintien 21 fixé au panneau 10 et comportant un logement 23 (figure 1b) dans lequel le verrou 1 est reçu, permet de maintenir le verrou 1 sur le panneau 10. Le verrou est alors enveloppé par ce logement 23 ce qui assure son maintien sur le panneau 10.In addition, a holding support 21 fixed to the panel 10 and comprising a housing 23 ( figure 1b ) in which the latch 1 is received, keeps the latch 1 on the panel 10. The latch is then enveloped by this housing 23 which ensures its retention on the panel 10.

Comme on le constate sur la figure 2, le support de maintien 21 peut être fixé par son extrémité avant 21a sur le panneau 10 et son extrémité arrière 21b peut être disposée en regard du levier de commande 13.As we see on the figure 2 , the holding support 21 can be fixed by its front end 21a to the panel 10 and its rear end 21b can be arranged facing the control lever 13.

Selon le mode de réalisation décrit, ce support de maintien 21 est réalisé sous la forme d'une bague de maintien 21 de forme générale sensiblement cylindrique pour entourer le verrou 1.According to the embodiment described, this holding support 21 is made in the form of a generally cylindrical holding ring 21 of generally cylindrical shape to surround the latch 1.

Dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 3c, le support de maintien 21 comporte en outre au moins un crochet 25, pour coopérer respectivement avec au moins un ergot 27 associé prévu sur le verrou 1, pour assurer le pré-maintien. L'ergot 27 agit ici comme un contre-crochet.In the example shown on the figure 3c , the holding support 21 further comprises at least one hook 25, to cooperate respectively with at least one associated lug 27 provided on the latch 1, to ensure the pre-hold. The lug 27 acts here as a counter-hook.

Ainsi, pour le montage du support de maintien 21 autour du verrou 1, le support de maintien 21 coulisse sur le verrou 1 selon une direction D parallèle à l'axe A1 du verrou pour venir coiffer le verrou 1 (figure 3a). Comme on le constate sur la figure 3c, le crochet 25 vient alors se clipser dans l'ergot 27 associé, ce qui assure un pré-maintien.Thus, for the mounting of the holding support 21 around the latch 1, the holding support 21 slides on the latch 1 in a direction D parallel to the axis A1 of the latch to fit the latch 1 ( figure 3a ). As we see on the figure 3c the hook 25 is then clipped into the associated lug 27, which ensures a pre-hold.

Ensuite, on effectue une rotation du support de maintien 21 jusqu'à venir en butée (figure 3d). Lors de cette opération, le support de prémaintien est entraîné en rotation et le crochet 25 se désengage alors de l'ergot 27. Puis, les zones pentues 26 viennent s'interfacer avec les ergots 27 du verrou 1 permettant le bridage complet du verrou 1.Then, the support support 21 is rotated until it comes to a stop ( figure 3d ). During this operation, the premaintening support is rotated and the hook 25 then disengages from the lug 27. Then, the sloped zones 26 come to interface with the lugs 27 of the latch 1 allowing the complete clamping of the latch 1 .

De manière également avantageuse les zones pentues 26 et les ergots 27 sont au nombre de quatre.Also advantageously sloping areas 26 and lugs 27 are four in number.

Les quatre ergots 27 du verrou viennent alors s'interfacer avec les quatre zones pentues 26 du support de maintien 21 pour assurer un serrage lors de la rotation du support de maintien 21.The four lugs 27 of the lock then come to interface with the four sloping zones 26 of the holding support 21 to ensure clamping during the rotation of the holding support 21.

En se référant à nouveau aux figures 1a à 2, le support de maintien 21 présente un canal d'évacuation 29 communiquant avec le premier orifice d'évacuation du verrou 1 afin de recueillir l'eau introduite dans le verrou 1 par l'entrée de clé 7. Ce canal d'évacuation 29 comporte un second orifice d'évacuation 31 pour évacuer cette eau recueillie.Referring again to Figures 1a to 2 , the holding support 21 has a discharge channel 29 communicating with the first discharge port of the lock 1 in order to collect the water introduced into the lock 1 by the key inlet 7. This exhaust channel 29 comprises a second discharge port 31 for discharging this collected water.

Le support de maintien 21 assure ainsi à la fois une fonction de maintien et d'évacuation de l'eau introduite dans le verrou 1.The holding support 21 thus ensures both a function of holding and evacuating the water introduced into the lock 1.

Le second orifice d'évacuation 31 du support de maintien 21 peut par exemple communiquer avec un tuyau d'évacuation 33.The second discharge orifice 31 of the holding support 21 may for example communicate with a discharge pipe 33.

Selon le mode de réalisation décrit, le tuyau d'évacuation 33 est d'une part fixé au support de maintien 21 (figures 1a à 3d) et d'autre part sur l'ouvrant 2 (figure 4).According to the embodiment described, the discharge pipe 33 is on the one hand fixed to the holding support 21 ( Figures 1a to 3d ) and secondly on the opening 2 ( figure 4 ).

Dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 2, on remarque que le support de maintien 21 présente un tube de raccordement 35 agencé en regard du second orifice 31 d'évacuation, et une première extrémité 33a du tuyau d'évacuation 33 est fixée sur ce tube de raccordement 35 par déformation de la première extrémité 33a.In the example shown on the figure 2 it is noted that the holding support 21 has a connection tube 35 arranged opposite the second discharge orifice 31, and a first end 33a of the discharge pipe 33 is fixed on this connecting tube 35 by deformation of the first end 33a.

En se référant à la figure 4, la seconde extrémité 33b du tuyau d'évacuation peut comporter un embout 37 par lequel le tuyau d'évacuation 33 est fixé sur l'ouvrant 2.Referring to the figure 4 the second end 33b of the discharge pipe may comprise a nozzle 37 through which the discharge pipe 33 is fixed on the opening 2.

Ainsi, ce tuyau d'évacuation 33 achemine l'eau vers l'extérieur du véhicule évitant que l'eau ne reste coincée entre le panneau extérieur 10 et le panneau intérieur (non représenté) de l'ouvrant.Thus, this discharge pipe 33 conveys the water to the outside of the vehicle preventing the water remains stuck between the outer panel 10 and the inner panel (not shown) of the opening.

En outre, afin d'assurer l'étanchéité entre le panneau extérieur 10 et le verrou 1, un joint d'étanchéité 39 peut être surmoulé sur l'extrémité avant 21a du support de maintien 21.In addition, in order to seal between the outer panel 10 and the lock 1, a seal 39 may be overmoulded on the front end 21a of the support 21.

De même, un joint d'étanchéité 41 peut être surmoulé sur l'extrémité arrière 21b du support de maintien 21 pour assurer l'étanchéité avec le levier de commande 13.Similarly, a seal 41 may be overmolded on the rear end 21b of the holding support 21 to seal with the control lever 13.

Ainsi, le support de maintien 21 peut combiner plusieurs fonctions, à savoir une fonction de maintien du verrou 1 sur le panneau 10, une fonction d'évacuation de l'eau introduite dans le verrou 1, et éventuellement une fonction d'étanchéité avec d'une part le panneau 10 et d'autre part le levier de commande 13.Thus, the holding support 21 can combine several functions, namely a function for holding the lock 1 on the panel 10, a function for discharging the water introduced into the lock 1, and possibly a sealing function with on the one hand the panel 10 and on the other hand the control lever 13.
