Description

L'invention concerne une serrure pour véhicule automobile.The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle.

Elle se rapporte plus précisément à une serrure pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile comportant un boîtier constitué de préférence d'une seule pièce en matériau plastique et dans lequel est inséré le mécanisme de la serrure, ce boîtier présentant au moins une fente de passage d'un agencement de transmission du mécanisme.It relates more specifically to a lock for opening a motor vehicle having a housing preferably consisting of a single piece of plastic material and in which is inserted the mechanism of the lock, this housing having at least one passage slot of a transmission arrangement of the mechanism.

Une telle serrure est décrite dans le document de brevet GB 2 240 583 .Such a lock is described in the patent document GB 2,240,583 .

Selon ce document, des fentes éventuellement renforcées mécaniquement de surépaisseurs, sont agencées dans le boîtier pour le passage des agencements de transmission du mécanisme de la serrure, par exemple le câble d'ouverture intérieure ou extérieure ou de condamnation.According to this document, slots optionally mechanically reinforced with extra thicknesses, are arranged in the housing for the passage of the transmission arrangements of the lock mechanism, for example the inner or outer opening or locking cable.

Par ailleurs, une serrure en particulier pour portes latérales de véhicules nécessite des câbles de transmission et de liaison aux poignées relativement longs. Ces câbles ne peuvent pas être pliés sans détérioration. Il en résulte que fournir une serrure pré-équipée de ses câbles de transmission nécessite un conditionnement lors du transport particulièrement encombrant et peu économique.Moreover, a lock particularly for vehicle side doors requires relatively long transmission and connection cables to the handles. These cables can not be bent without deterioration. As a result, providing a lock pre-equipped with its transmission cables requires packaging during transport particularly bulky and uneconomical.

Il existe des équipements de câbles de transmission rapportés qui sont montés sur la serrure déjà contenue dans son boîtier soit à proximité de l'usine de montage sur le véhicule soit juste avant ce montage.There are reported transmission cable equipment that is mounted on the lock already contained in its case either near the assembly plant on the vehicle or just before this assembly.

Mais ces solutions consistent à assembler le câble de transmission sur une grande face latérale du boîtier de la serrure et n'assure pas une bonne étanchéité au ruissellement ni une tenue mécanique à l'arrachement suffisante.But these solutions consist of assembling the transmission cable on a large side face of the lock housing and does not provide a good seal runoff or mechanical resistance to tearing enough.

On connaît par ailleurs le document FR 2 925 561 A1 , conforme au préambule de la revendication 1.The document is also known FR 2 925 561 A1 according to the preamble of claim 1.

Le but de l'invention est de procurer une serrure comportant un boîtier et un agencement de connexion d'un câble de transmission associé qui assurent une bonne ergonomie de montage, une étanchéité optimale et une inviolabilité ou résistance à l'arrachement optimale.The object of the invention is to provide a lock comprising a housing and an arrangement for connecting an associated transmission cable which ensure good ergonomics of assembly, optimum sealing and optimum tamper or tear resistance.

Pour ce faire, l'invention propose une serrure pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile comportant un boîtier en matériau plastique dans lequel est inséré le mécanisme de la serrure, et destinée à être montée sur un véhicule selon une position d'axe Z incliné d'un angle compris entre zéro et trente degrés par rapport à un axe vertical, le boîtier de la serrure présentant au moins une fente de passage d'un câble de transmission du mécanisme, par exemple un câble d'ouverture intérieur ou extérieur, dans laquelle ledit câble comporte une pièce indépendante dudit boîtier, destinée à fermer ladite fente et fixée sur le boîtier de la serrure, remarquable en ce que ladite pièce comporte à une de ces extrémités un crochet de charnière rotative destiné à être en prise avec un tenon latéral dudit boîtier.To do this, the invention proposes a lock for a motor vehicle opening comprising a plastic housing in which is inserted the mechanism of the lock, and intended to be mounted on a vehicle in a Z-axis position inclined by a an angle between zero and thirty degrees with respect to a vertical axis, the lock housing having at least one passage slot of a transmission cable of the mechanism, for example an inner or outer opening cable, into which said cable comprises a piece independent of said housing, intended to close said slot and fixed on the lock housing, characterized in that said piece comprises at one of these ends a rotary hinge hook intended to be engaged with a lateral pin of said housing.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, la pièce est disposée sur une face inférieure perpendiculaire audit axe Z.According to a preferred embodiment, the part is disposed on a lower face perpendicular to said axis Z.

La pièce portant le câble de transmission est ainsi montée sous la serrure équipée de son boîtier. Il en résulte une étanchéité optimale évitant tout passage d'eau par gravité. De plus, la tenue à l'arrachement est excellente, puisqu'un effort de traction sur le câble qui s'effectue selon un axe sensiblement vertical suite aux conditions de montage de la serrure sur le véhicule s'oppose au sens de montage de ladite pièce perpendiculaire audit axe Z.The piece carrying the transmission cable is thus mounted under the lock equipped with its housing. This results in an optimal seal avoiding any water flow by gravity. In addition, the resistance to tearing is excellent, since a tensile force on the cable which is performed along a substantially vertical axis following the mounting conditions of the lock on the vehicle opposes the mounting direction of said part perpendicular to said axis Z.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, ladite fente se prolonge sur une face latérale parallèle audit axe Z.According to a preferred embodiment, said slot extends on a lateral face parallel to said Z axis.

De préférence, le tenon latéral dudit boîtier est pourvu d'un agencement de détrompage et disposé à une extrémité de ladite fente la plus basse.Preferably, the lateral tenon of said housing is provided with a keying arrangement and disposed at one end of said lowest slot.

Avantageusement, ladite pièce comporte à son autre extrémité un agencement de clippage à auto-verrouillage coopérant avec un agencement correspondant porté par ledit boîtier à une extrémité de ladite fente la plus haute.Advantageously, said part comprises at its other end a self-locking clipping arrangement cooperating with a corresponding arrangement carried by said housing at one end of said highest slot.

Ledit auto-verrouillage peut être réalisé au moyen d'un crochet porté par la dite pièce et venant en prise avec un élément de retenue porté par ledit boîtier.Said self-locking can be achieved by means of a hook carried by said piece and engaged with a retaining element carried by said housing.

De préférence, ladite pièce comporte un élément supplémentaire de clippage sur un élément correspondant dudit boîtier, cet élément supplémentaire étant disposé entre les deux extrémités de ladite pièce.Preferably, said part comprises an additional element of clipping on a corresponding element of said housing, this additional element being disposed between the two ends of said part.

Avantageusement, ladite fente comporte sur ses deux bords longitudinaux une rainure continue d'encliquetage de ladite pièce.Advantageously, said slot has on its two longitudinal edges a continuous groove for snapping of said part.

De préférence, ledit boîtier est mis en place sur le mécanisme de la serrure par une translation uniquement selon la direction dudit axe Z.Preferably, said casing is placed on the mechanism of the lock by a translation only in the direction of said axis Z.

L'invention est décrite ci-après plus en détail à l'aide de figures ne représentant que des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention telle que définie par les revendications annexées.

  • The figures 8 and 9 are sectional views along AA and BB of the figure 7 .
  • The Figures 10 to 13 are perspective views of a lock according to a third embodiment.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, une serrure pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile comporte un boîtier 1 en matériau plastique dans lequel est inséré le mécanisme de la serrure. Cette serrure est destinée à être montée sur un véhicule selon une position d'axe Z incliné d'un angle compris entre zéro et trente degrés par rapport à un axe vertical, selon que la serrure soit installée sur une porte avant ou une porte arrière.According to a first embodiment shown on the figures 1 and 2 , a lock for opening of a motor vehicle comprises a housing 1 of plastic material in which is inserted the mechanism of the lock. This lock is intended to be mounted on a vehicle in a Z-axis position inclined at an angle of between zero and thirty degrees with respect to a vertical axis, depending on whether the lock is installed on a front door or a rear door.

Le boîtier 1 présente au moins une fente 2 de passage d'un câble 3 de transmission du mécanisme, de préférence un câble d'ouverture intérieur selon cet exemple.The housing 1 has at least one slot 2 for passage of a transmission cable 3 of the mechanism, preferably an inner opening cable according to this example.

La fente 2 est disposée sur la face inférieure perpendiculaire à l'axe Z et le câble 3 comporte une pièce 4 destinée à fermer la fente 2 et fixée sur le boîtier 1. La pièce 4 portant le câble 3 de transmission est ainsi montée sous la serrure équipée de son boîtier 1.The slot 2 is disposed on the lower face perpendicular to the Z axis and the cable 3 comprises a part 4 intended to close the slot 2 and fixed on the housing 1. The part 4 carrying the transmission cable 3 is thus mounted under the lock with its housing 1.

Plus précisément, pour réaliser cette fixation, la pièce 4 comporte à une de ces extrémités un crochet 5 de charnière rotative destiné à être en prise avec un tenon latéral 6 du boîtier 1 perpendiculaire à l'axe Z et disposé à une extrémité de la fente la plus basse.More specifically, to achieve this fixation, the part 4 comprises at one of these ends a hook 5 of rotary hinge intended to be engaged with a lateral pin 6 of the housing 1 perpendicular to the axis Z and disposed at one end of the slot the lowest.

L'agencement du tenon 6 et du crochet 5 interdit toute erreur d'assemblage de la pièce 4 dans son orientation comme dans sa position. Pour cela, le tenon 6 est munis de parois 6a et 6b formant agencement de détrompage et qui n'autorisent qu'un seul sens d'assemblage du crochet 5.The arrangement of the post 6 and the hook 5 prohibits any assembly error of the part 4 in its orientation as in its position. For this, the post 6 is provided with walls 6a and 6b forming keying arrangement and which allow only one direction of assembly of the hook 5.

La première phase du montage du câble 3 consiste à bloquer l'embout de câble 7 sur le mécanisme de la serrure puis à monter la pièce 4 en plaçant ce crochet 5 sur le tenon 6, comme illustré sur la figure 1. Tournant autour de ce pivot, la pièce 4 est ensuite pivotée selon la flèche F pour venir en position montée illustrée sur la figure 2, où elle ferme complètement la fente 2.The first phase of the cable assembly 3 consists of blocking the cable end 7 on the lock mechanism and then mounting the part 4 by placing this hook 5 on the post 6, as shown in FIG. figure 1 . Turning around this pivot, the part 4 is then rotated according to the arrow F to come in the mounted position illustrated on the figure 2 where it completely closes the slot 2.

La pièce 4 comporte à son autre extrémité un agencement de clippage à auto-verrouillage coopérant avec un agencement correspondant porté par ledit boîtier à une extrémité de la fente 4 la plus haute.The part 4 comprises at its other end a self-locking clipping arrangement cooperating with a corresponding arrangement carried by said housing at one end of the slot 4 the highest.

Cet auto-verrouillage est réalisé au moyen d'un crochet d'encliquetage 8 ici parallèle à l'axe Z en position montée, porté par la pièce 4 et venant en prise avec un élément de retenue porté par le boîtier 1. Par ailleurs, associé à ce crochet d'encliquetage, est prévu un agencement d'emboîtement à chicanes 9 entre l'extrémité de la pièce 4 et le boîtier 1, afin d'assurer une étanchéité optimale à cet endroit.This self-locking is achieved by means of a latching hook 8 here parallel to the Z axis in the mounted position, carried by the piece 4 and engaging with a retaining element carried by the casing 1. Moreover, associated with this snap hook, is provided a baffle interlocking arrangement 9 between the end of the part 4 and the housing 1, to ensure optimum sealing at this location.

Selon un second mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 3 à 5, une serrure pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile comporte un boîtier 1 en matériau plastique dans lequel est inséré le mécanisme de la serrure. Cette serrure est destinée à être montée sur un véhicule selon une position d'axe vertical dit axe Z.According to a second embodiment shown on the Figures 3 to 5 , a lock for opening of a motor vehicle comprises a housing 1 of plastic material in which is inserted the mechanism of the lock. This lock is intended to be mounted on a vehicle in a position of vertical axis said Z axis.

Le boîtier 1 présente au moins une fente 2A de passage d'un câble 3' de transmission du mécanisme, de préférence un câble d'ouverture extérieur selon cet exemple.The housing 1 has at least one slot 2A for passage of a transmission cable 3 'of the mechanism, preferably an outer opening cable according to this example.

La fente 2A est disposée sur la face inférieure perpendiculaire à l'axe Z et se prolonge sur une face latérale parallèle l'axe Z en un tronçon de fente 2B.The slot 2A is disposed on the lower face perpendicular to the Z axis and extends on a side face parallel to the Z axis in a slot section 2B.

Le câble 3' comporte une pièce 4' destinée à fermer la fente totale 2A et 2B et fixée sur le boîtier 1. La pièce 4' portant le câble 3' de transmission est ainsi montée sous la serrure équipée de son boîtier 1 et sur une partie latérale de la serrure.The cable 3 'comprises a part 4' intended to close the total slot 2A and 2B and fixed on the housing 1. The part 4 'carrying the cable 3' of transmission is mounted under the lock equipped with its housing 1 and on a side portion of the lock.

Plus précisément, pour réaliser cette fixation, la pièce 4' comporte à une de ces extrémités un crochet 5' de charnière rotative destiné à être en prise avec un tenon latéral 6' du boîtier 1 perpendiculaire à l'axe Z et disposé à une extrémité de la fente la plus basse. De même, l'agencement du tenon 6' et du crochet 5' interdit toute erreur d'assemblage de la pièce 4' dans son orientation comme dans sa position, au moyen d'un agencement de détrompage identique à celui du mode de réalisation précédent.More specifically, to achieve this fixation, the piece 4 'comprises at one of these ends a hook 5' of rotary hinge intended to be engaged with a lateral pin 6 'of the housing 1 perpendicular to the Z axis and disposed at one end of the lowest slot. Similarly, the arrangement of the post 6 'and the hook 5' prevents any assembly error of the part 4 'in its orientation as in its position, by means of a keying arrangement identical to that of the previous embodiment .

La première phase du montage du câble 3' consiste à bloquer l'embout de câble 7' sur le mécanisme de la serrure puis à monter la pièce 4' en plaçant ce crochet 5' sur le tenon 6', comme illustré sur la figure 4. Tournant autour de ce pivot, la pièce 4 est ensuite pivotée selon la flèche F' pour venir en position montée illustrée sur les figures 5 et 6, où elle ferme complètement la fente totale 2A et 2B.The first phase of mounting the cable 3 'is to block the cable end 7' on the lock mechanism and then to mount the piece 4 'by placing the hook 5' on the pin 6 ', as shown in the figure 4 . Turning around this pivot, the part 4 is then rotated according to the arrow F 'to come in mounted position illustrated on the figures 5 and 6 where it completely closes the total slot 2A and 2B.

La pièce 4' comporte à son autre extrémité un agencement de clippage à auto-verrouillage coopérant avec un agencement correspondant porté par ledit boîtier à une extrémité de la fente 4 la plus haute.The piece 4 'has at its other end a self-locking clipping arrangement cooperating with a corresponding arrangement carried by said housing at one end of the slot 4 the highest.

Cet auto-verrouillage est réalisé au moyen d'un crochet d'encliquetage 8' ici incliné par rapport à l'axe Z en position montée, porté par la pièce 4' et venant en prise avec un élément de retenue porté par le boîtier 1. Par ailleurs, associé à ce crochet d'encliquetage, est prévu un agencement d'emboîtement à chicanes 9' entre l'extrémité de la pièce 4' et le boîtier 1, afin d'assurer une étanchéité optimale à cet endroit.This self-locking is achieved by means of a latching hook 8 'here inclined with respect to the Z axis in the mounted position, carried by the piece 4' and engaging with a retaining element carried by the housing 1 Furthermore, associated with this snap hook, is provided a baffle interlocking arrangement 9 'between the end of the piece 4' and the housing 1, to ensure optimum sealing at this location.

Pour renforcer la tenue mécanique de la fixation de la pièce 4' plus longue selon ce second mode de réalisation, la pièce 4' comporte un élément supplémentaire de clippage 10' sur un élément correspondant du boîtier 1, cet élément supplémentaire étant disposé entre les deux extrémités de la pièce. Cet élément supplémentaire de clippage 10' est particulièrement visible sur la figure 8 qui est une vue en coupe.To reinforce the mechanical strength of the fixation of the longer piece 4 'according to this second embodiment, the piece 4' comprises an additional clipping member 10 'on a corresponding element of the casing 1, this additional element being arranged between the two ends of the room. This additional element of clipping 10 'is particularly visible on the figure 8 which is a sectional view.

Par ailleurs, la fente et de préférence son tronçon vertical 2B comporte sur ses deux bords longitudinaux une rainure continue 11', 12' d'encliquetage de la pièce 4'. Ces rainures sont particulièrement visibles sur la figure 9 qui est une vue en coupe.Furthermore, the slot and preferably its vertical portion 2B has on its two longitudinal edges a continuous groove 11 ', 12' snap of the piece 4 '. These grooves are particularly visible on the figure 9 which is a sectional view.

Selon un troisième mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 10 à 13, une serrure pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile comporte un boîtier 1 en matériau plastique dans lequel est inséré le mécanisme de la serrure. Cette serrure est destinée à être montée sur un véhicule selon une position d'axe vertical dit axe Z.According to a third embodiment shown on the Figures 10 to 13 , a lock for opening of a motor vehicle comprises a housing 1 of plastic material in which is inserted the mechanism of the lock. This lock is intended to be mounted on a vehicle in a position of vertical axis said Z axis.

Le mécanisme de la serrure présente deux fentes 2A", 2B" de passage d'un câble 3A", 3B" de transmission du mécanisme, de préférence un câble d'ouverture intérieur et un câble de condamnation intérieur selon cet exemple.The mechanism of the lock has two slots 2A ", 2B" for passage of a transmission cable 3A ", 3B", preferably an inner opening cable and an inner locking cable according to this example.

Les fentes 2A" et 2B" sont parallèles et disposées sur une face parallèle à l'axe Z et chaque câble 3A", 3B" comporte une pièce 4A", 4B" destinée à fermer chaque fente 2A", 2B" correspondant et fixée sur le mécanisme de la serrure.The slots 2A "and 2B" are parallel and arranged on a face parallel to the Z axis and each cable 3A ", 3B" comprises a part 4A ", 4B" intended to close each corresponding slot 2A ", 2B" and fixed on the mechanism of the lock.

Plus précisément, pour réaliser cette fixation, chaque pièce 4A", 4B' comporte à une de ces extrémités un crochet de charnière rotative destiné à être en prise avec un tenon latéral porté par le mécanisme de la serrure.More specifically, to achieve this fixation, each piece 4A ", 4B 'comprises at one of these ends a rotary hinge hook intended to be engaged with a lateral pin carried by the mechanism of the lock.

La première phase du montage de chaque câble consiste à bloquer l'embout de câble sur le mécanisme de la serrure puis à monter chaque pièce 4A", 4B" en plaçant ce crochet sur le tenon, comme illustré sur les figures 10 et 11. Tournant autour de ce pivot, chaque pièce 4A", 4B" est ensuite pivotée selon la flèche FA", FB" pour venir en position intégrée au mécanisme de la serrure illustrée sur la figure 12, où pièce 4A", 4B" ferme complètement les fentes 2A", 2B".The first phase of mounting each cable is to lock the cable end on the lock mechanism and then mount each piece 4A ", 4B" by placing this hook on the post, as shown on the figures 10 and 11 . Turning around this pivot, each piece 4A ", 4B" is then rotated according to the arrow FA ", FB" to come in integrated position to the mechanism of the lock illustrated on the figure 12 where part 4A ", 4B" completely closes slots 2A ", 2B".

Chaque pièce 4A", 4B" comporte à son autre extrémité un agencement de clippage à auto-verrouillage coopérant avec un agencement correspondant porté par le mécanisme de serrure.Each part 4A ", 4B" has at its other end a self-locking clipping arrangement cooperating with a corresponding arrangement carried by the lock mechanism.

Cet auto-verrouillage est réalisé au moyen d'un crochet d'encliquetage 8A", 8B" porté par chaque pièce 4A", 4B" et venant en prise avec un élément de retenue porté par le mécanisme de la serrure. Par ailleurs, associé à ce crochet d'encliquetage, est prévu un agencement d'emboîtement à chicanes 9A", 9B" entre l'extrémité de la pièce et le mécanisme de la serrure, afin d'assurer une étanchéité optimale à cet endroit.This self-locking is achieved by means of a snap hook 8A ", 8B" carried by each piece 4A ", 4B" and engaging with a retaining member carried by the mechanism of the lock. Furthermore, associated with this snap hook, there is provided a baffle interlocking arrangement 9A ", 9B" between the end of the part and the mechanism of the lock, to ensure optimum sealing at this location.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, contrairement aux modes de réalisation précédents, le montage précédemment décrit est réalisé directement sur un carter métallique du mécanisme de la serrure et le boîtier 1 en matière plastique comporte un volet 1A d'étanchéité articulé qui est rabattu comme illustré sur la figure 13 pour recouvrir l'emplacement de montage des câbles de transmission.According to this embodiment, unlike the previous embodiments, the previously described assembly is made directly on a metal housing of the lock mechanism and the plastic housing 1 comprises a hinged sealing flap 1A which is folded as shown in FIG. the figure 13 to cover the mounting location of the transmission cables.

Le volet 1A est fixé en position de fermeture au moyen de deux clippages, un premier agencement de clippage 1B étant disposé à son bord libre opposé à son bord articulé et venant s'encliqueter sur un crochet d'encliquetage 13 solidaire de la serrure et un second agencement de clippage 1C formé d'un crochet d'encliquetage porté par la face interne du volet 1A venant s'encliqueter dans un orifice 14 agencé dans le carter métallique du mécanisme de la serrure.The shutter 1A is fixed in the closed position by means of two clippings, a first clipping arrangement 1B being disposed at its free edge opposite its articulated edge and snapping onto a latching hook 13 integral with the lock and a second clipping arrangement 1C formed of a snap hook carried by the inner face of the shutter 1A snapping into an orifice 14 arranged in the metal casing of the mechanism of the lock.

De préférence, selon tous les modes de réalisation de l'invention, le boîtier 1 est mis en place sur le mécanisme de la serrure par une translation uniquement selon la direction de l'axe Z.Preferably, according to all the embodiments of the invention, the casing 1 is put in place on the mechanism of the lock by a translation only in the direction of the Z axis.

Par ailleurs, afin d'obtenir une bonne tenue mécanique, le boîtier 1 est de préférence en matière plastique plus flexible que la matière plastique formant les pièces 4, 4' associées aux câbles ou formant le volet 1A. Par exemple, le boîtier peut être en polypropylène et ces pièces ou volet peuvent être en résine acétalique POM.Furthermore, in order to obtain a good mechanical strength, the housing 1 is preferably made of plastic that is more flexible than the plastic material forming the parts 4, 4 'associated with the cables or forming the shutter 1A. For example, the housing may be made of polypropylene and these parts or shutters may be made of POM acetal resin.
