[0001] La présente invention revendique la priorité de la demande française 1252576 déposée le 22 mars 2012 dont le contenu (texte, dessins et revendications) est ici incorporé par référence. The present invention claims the priority of the French application 1252576 filed March 22, 2012 whose content (text, drawings and claims) is here incorporated by reference.
[ooo2] L'invention concerne le verrouillage/déverrouillage de portes à vitre coulissante qui équipent certains véhicules, éventuellement de type automobile. The invention relates to the locking / unlocking of sliding window doors that are fitted to certain vehicles, possibly of automobile type.
[ooo3] Certains véhicules, éventuellement de type automobile, comprennent au moins une porte comportant un caisson, dans lequel peut coulisser une vitre, un verrou, actionnable au moyen d'une clé, et une serrure, déportée par rapport au verrou. Ce déport peut consister en un décalage suivant une direction transversale et/ou suivant une direction longitudinale et/ou suivant une direction verticale par rapport au verrou. [Ooo3] Some vehicles, possibly of the automotive type, comprise at least one door comprising a box, in which can slide a window, a lock, operable by means of a key, and a lock, offset relative to the lock. This offset may consist of a shift in a transverse direction and / or in a longitudinal direction and / or in a vertical direction relative to the lock.
[ooo4] On entend ici par « direction longitudinale » une direction qui est sensiblement parallèle aux côtés latéraux du véhicule qui comportent les portes latérales, par « direction transversale » une direction qui est sensiblement perpendiculaire aux côtés latéraux du véhicule et donc à la direction longitudinale, et par « direction verticale » une direction qui est sensiblement perpendiculaire au plancher du véhicule et donc aux directions longitudinale et transversale. [ooo4] The term "longitudinal direction" here means a direction which is substantially parallel to the lateral sides of the vehicle which comprise the side doors, by "transverse direction" a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the lateral sides of the vehicle and therefore to the longitudinal direction , and "vertical direction" a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the vehicle floor and therefore to the longitudinal and transverse directions.
[ooo5] Comme le sait l'homme de l'art, le déport de la serrure peut avoir plusieurs origines. En effet, il peut résulter d'un effet de style, ou d'une contrainte liée à la forme de la porte ou à l'agencement du caisson de porte, ou d'un souci d'amélioration de l'ergonomie, ou encore du respect d'une réglementation (par exemple relative aux chocs). [ooo5] As known to those skilled in the art, the offset of the lock can have several origins. Indeed, it may result from a style effect, or a constraint related to the shape of the door or the arrangement of the door box, or a desire to improve ergonomics, or compliance with a regulation (eg relating to shocks).
[ooo6] Afin de coupler mécaniquement le verrou et la serrure déportée, plusieurs solutions ont été proposées. [ooo6] In order to mechanically couple the lock and the remote lock, several solutions have been proposed.
[ooo7] Une première solution consiste à utiliser une tringle rigide (ou bielle) qui est solidarisée à deux pattes rotatives (ou leviers) qui font respectivement partie du verrou et de la serrure, et qui peut éventuellement comporter deux ou trois sous-parties présentant des orientations spatiales différentes deux à deux. Hélas, cette première solution impose d'importants débattements des leviers et de la bielle, et donc nécessite un volume important entre le bord arrière de la vitre coulissante et la paroi arrière du caisson de porte, en particulier lorsque l'on utilise un carter anti-effraction. Par conséquent, cette première solution ne peut pas être utilisée lorsque le bord arrière de la vitre coulissante est situé très près de la paroi arrière du caisson de porte. En outre, la tringle peut, en se déformant, augmenter la longueur des courses de verrouillage/déverrouillage, ce qui peut provoquer une panne. De plus, les vibrations et fermetures de porte provoquent des petits déplacements de la tringle et des leviers qui peuvent générer des bruits désagréables. [ooo7] A first solution is to use a rigid rod (or connecting rod) which is secured to two rotating legs (or levers) that make respectively part of the lock and the lock, and which may optionally comprise two or three sub-parts having different spatial orientations in pairs. Alas, this first solution imposes large deflections of the levers and the connecting rod, and therefore requires a large volume between the rear edge of the sliding window and the rear wall of the door box, especially when using an anti crankcase. -breaking in. Therefore, this first solution can not be used when the rear edge of the sliding window is located very close to the rear wall of the door box. In addition, the rod may, by deforming, increase the length of the locking / unlocking races, which can cause a failure. In addition, the vibrations and door closures cause small movements of the rod and levers that can generate unpleasant noises.
[0008] Une deuxième solution consiste à utiliser un cardan, éventuellement légèrement désaxé par rapport à la direction transversale. Cette deuxième solution ne permettant pas les crochetages, au moyen d'un crochet introduit entre la vitre et le joint d'étanchéité, elle est donc plus sûre que la précédente vis-à-vis des effractions. Cependant, le cardan étant installé sensiblement transversalement, il se trouve sur le trajet de la vitre coulissante lorsque le bord arrière de cette dernière est situé très près de la paroi arrière du caisson de porte, y compris lorsqu'il est désaxé. A second solution is to use a gimbal, possibly slightly offset from the transverse direction. This second solution does not allow picking, by means of a hook introduced between the window and the seal, it is therefore safer than the previous vis-à-vis burglaries. However, the gimbal is installed substantially transversely, it is on the path of the sliding window when the rear edge of the latter is located very close to the rear wall of the door box, including when it is off-axis.
[ooo9] Une troisième solution consiste à utiliser un engrenage comportant au moins trois pignons qui sont placés sensiblement dans un plan défini par les directions longitudinale et verticale, et dont le dernier est couplé à la serrure via un axe ou un cardan, éventuellement légèrement désaxé par rapport à la direction transversale. Cette troisième solution présente le même inconvénient que la deuxième solution du fait de l'utilisation d'un axe ou d'un cardan, même désaxé. Pour s'écarter plus de la vitre on peut utiliser un plus grand nombre de pignons, mais cela peut nuire au rendement, et cela ne peut pas être mis en œuvre lorsque le déport vertical entre le verrou et la serrure n'est pas important. [ooo9] A third solution consists in using a gear comprising at least three gears which are placed substantially in a plane defined by the longitudinal and vertical directions, and the last of which is coupled to the lock via an axis or a gimbal, possibly slightly off-axis. relative to the transverse direction. This third solution has the same disadvantage as the second solution because of the use of an axis or a gimbal, even off-axis. To deviate more from the window can be used a greater number of gears, but this can affect performance, and this can not be implemented when the vertical offset between the lock and the lock is not important.
[ooi o] Une quatrième solution consiste à utiliser une courroie montée sur deux roues placées sensiblement dans un plan défini par les directions longitudinale et verticale. La roue supérieure est couplée au verrou via un axe ou un cardan, éventuellement légèrement désaxé par rapport à la direction transversale, et la roue inférieure est couplée à la serrure via un autre axe ou un autre cardan, éventuellement légèrement désaxé par rapport à la direction transversale. Cette quatrième solution permet d'obtenir un déport vertical et/ou longitudinal important sans perte de rendement, mais elle ne permet pas d'obtenir un déport transversal important du fait de la place occupée par la roue inférieure. Par conséquent, cette quatrième solution n'est pas non plus adaptée au cas où le bord arrière de la vitre coulissante est situé très près de la paroi arrière du caisson de porte du fait de l'utilisation d'un axe ou d'un cardan, même désaxé. [ooi o] A fourth solution consists in using a belt mounted on two wheels placed substantially in a plane defined by the directions longitudinal and vertical. The upper wheel is coupled to the lock via an axis or a universal joint, possibly slightly offset from the transverse direction, and the lower wheel is coupled to the lock via another axis or another cardan, possibly slightly off-axis with respect to the direction. cross. This fourth solution makes it possible to obtain a significant vertical and / or longitudinal offset without loss of efficiency, but it does not make it possible to obtain a large transverse offset due to the space occupied by the lower wheel. Therefore, this fourth solution is also not suitable for the case where the rear edge of the sliding window is located very close to the rear wall of the door box due to the use of an axis or a gimbal even misaligned.
[0011] L'invention a donc pour but de proposer une solution alternative qui est notamment adaptée aux situations dans lesquelles, d'une part, la serrure est déportée au moins transversalement par rapport au verrou, et, d'autre part, le bord arrière de la vitre coulissante est situé très près de la paroi arrière du caisson de la porte. The invention therefore aims to provide an alternative solution which is particularly suitable for situations in which, on the one hand, the lock is offset at least transversely to the lock, and, on the other hand, the edge rear of the sliding window is located very close to the rear wall of the door box.
[0012] Elle propose notamment à cet effet un dispositif, destiné à servir d'interface entre un verrou et une serrure déportée au moins transversalement dans une porte de véhicule comportant un caisson dans lequel peut coulisser une vitre, et comprenant : It proposes for this purpose a device intended to serve as an interface between a lock and a remote lock at least transversely in a vehicle door having a box in which can slide a window, and comprising:
• une première roue, propre à être couplée en rotation au verrou et à laquelle est couplé au moins un câble, A first wheel, adapted to be coupled in rotation to the lock and to which at least one cable is coupled,
• une seconde roue à laquelle est couplé chaque câble, A second wheel to which each cable is coupled,
• un premier pignon de transfert couplé en rotation à la seconde roue, et A first transfer pinion coupled in rotation to the second wheel, and

A shaft intended to circumvent the window irrespective of its position in the box, and comprising a first end provided with a second transfer pinion meshing with the first transfer pinion and a second end adapted to be coupled to the lock in order to provoke its actuation when it is rotated.
[ooi3] Ce dispositif d'interface permet avantageusement de contourner la vitre coulissante, y compris lorsque son bord arrière est situé très près de la paroi arrière du caisson de porte, éventuellement sensiblement à la hauteur de la poignée de porte. En outre, il n'induit quasiment pas de bruit parasite et ne peut se déformer que très légèrement, ce qui garantit sa fiabilité. [ooi3] This interface device advantageously makes it possible to circumvent the sliding window, including when its rear edge is located very close to the rear wall of the door box, possibly substantially at the height of the door handle. In addition, it induces almost no parasitic noise and can deform only very slightly, which guarantees its reliability.
[0014] Le dispositif d'interface selon l'invention peut comporter d'autres caractéristiques qui peuvent être prises séparément ou en combinaison, et notamment : The interface device according to the invention may comprise other characteristics that can be taken separately or in combination, and in particular:
• la seconde extrémité de l'arbre peut être munie d'un troisième pignon de transfert. Dans ce cas, il peut comprendre un pignon de sortie engrenant le troisième pignon de transfert et propre à être couplé à la serrure afin d'actionner cette dernière lorsqu'il est entraîné en rotation ; The second end of the shaft may be provided with a third transfer pinion. In this case, it may comprise an output gear meshing the third transfer gear and adapted to be coupled to the lock to actuate the latter when it is rotated;
• le troisième pignon de transfert peut être couplé à la serrure via un axe ; The third transfer pinion can be coupled to the lock via an axis;

[0018] Les dessins annexés pourront non seulement servir à compléter l'invention, mais aussi contribuer à sa définition, le cas échéant. The accompanying drawings may not only serve to complete the invention, but also contribute to its definition, if any.
[0019] L'invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif d'interface D destiné à assurer l'interface entre un verrou VR et une serrure déportée SR d'un système de verrouillage d'une porte PV d'un véhicule à vitre coulissante VT. The invention aims to provide an interface device D for providing the interface between a lock VR and a remote lock SR of a locking system of a PV door of a sliding window vehicle VT.
[0020] On entend ici par « système de verrouillage » un ensemble constitué au moins d'un verrou VR, d'une serrure déportée SR et d'un dispositif d'interface D selon l'invention. Here, the term "locking system" means an assembly consisting of at least one lock VR, a remote lock SR and an interface device D according to the invention.
[0021 ] Dans ce qui suit, on considère, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, que le véhicule est de type automobile. Il s'agit par exemple d'une voiture. Mais l'invention n'est pas limitée à ce type de véhicule. Elle concerne en effet tout type de véhicule comprenant au moins une porte à vitre coulissante et un système de verrouillage. Ainsi, elle concerne également les camions, les véhicules utilitaires, les cars ou bus, les engins de chantier et les avions, par exemple. In what follows, we consider, by way of non-limiting example, that the vehicle is automotive type. This is for example a car. But the invention is not limited to this type of vehicle. It concerns indeed any type of vehicle comprising at least one sliding glass door and a locking system. Thus, it also concerns trucks, commercial vehicles, coaches or buses, construction machines and aircraft, for example.
[0022] Sur les figures 1 à 5, la direction X est la direction longitudinale du véhicule, laquelle est sensiblement parallèle aux côtés latéraux comportant les portes latérales PV, la direction Y est la direction transversale du véhicule, laquelle est sensiblement perpendiculaire aux côtés latéraux et donc à la direction longitudinale X, et la direction Z est la direction verticale du véhicule, laquelle est sensiblement perpendiculaire au plancher sur lequel repose le véhicule et donc aux directions longitudinale X et transversale Y. In Figures 1 to 5, the direction X is the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, which is substantially parallel to the lateral sides with the side doors PV, the Y direction is the transverse direction of the vehicle, which is substantially perpendicular to the lateral sides and thus to the longitudinal direction X, and the direction Z is the vertical direction of the vehicle, which is substantially perpendicular to the floor on which the vehicle is based and therefore to the longitudinal directions X and transverse Y.
[0023] On a schématiquement représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 une partie d'une porte PV de véhicule comportant une vitre coulissante VT et un système de verrouillage comprenant un exemple de réalisation de dispositif d'interface D selon l'invention. FIGS. 1 to 3 show a part of a vehicle PV gate comprising a sliding window VT and a locking system comprising an exemplary embodiment of an interface device D according to the invention.
[0024] On notera que dans les exemples non limitatifs illustrés sur les figures 1 à 3, le verrou VR fait partie de la poignée PP permettant d'ouvrir la porte PV. Mais cela n'est pas obligatoire. Il pourrait en effet être indépendant de celle-ci, notamment lorsqu'il est décalé verticalement et/ou longitudinalement de la poignée. Note that in the non-limiting examples illustrated in Figures 1 to 3, the lock VR is part of the PP handle to open the PV door. But this is not obligatory. It could indeed be independent of it, especially when it is offset vertically and / or longitudinally of the handle.
[0025] On notera également que le verrou VR peut être actionnable au moyen d'une clé. It will also be noted that the lock VR can be actuated by means of a key.
[0026] Comme illustré sur les figures 1 à 3, un dispositif d'interface D, selon l'invention, comprend au moins une première roue R1 , une seconde roue R2, au moins un câble CBi, un premier pignon de transfert PT1 et un arbre AR. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, an interface device D according to the invention comprises at least a first wheel R1, a second wheel R2, at least one cable CBi, a first transfer gear PT1 and an AR tree.
[0027] La première roue R1 est propre à être couplée en rotation au verrou VR. Comme illustré non limitativement sur les figures 1 à 5, ce couplage peut se faire au moyen d'un premier axe A1 , parfois appelé « renvoi de verrou ». On notera que dans l'exemple illustré, le premier axe A1 est sensiblement parallèle à la direction transversale Y, mais cela n'est pas obligatoire. The first wheel R1 is adapted to be coupled in rotation to the lock VR. As illustrated without limitation in FIGS. 1 to 5, this coupling can be done by means of a first axis A1, sometimes called a "bolt return". Note that in the illustrated example, the first axis A1 is substantially parallel to the transverse direction Y, but this is not mandatory.
[0028] Le premier axe A1 comporte une première extrémité qui est destinée à être introduite dans un élément du mécanisme du verrou VR. Par exemple, cette première extrémité peut présenter une forme cylindrique ayant une section en forme de polygone (par exemple un hexagone) et l'élément du verrou VR peut comprendre un logement de forme homologue à cette section. The first axis A1 has a first end which is intended to be introduced into an element of the mechanism of the lock VR. For example, this first end may have a cylindrical shape having a polygon-shaped section (for example a hexagon) and the element of the lock VR may comprise a housing of shape homologous to this section.
[0029] Par ailleurs, le premier axe A1 comporte une seconde extrémité qui est destinée à être introduite dans la première roue R1 . Par exemple, cette seconde extrémité peut présenter une forme cylindrique ayant une section en forme de polygone (par exemple un hexagone) et la première roue R1 peut comprendre un logement de forme homologue à cette section. Furthermore, the first axis A1 has a second end which is intended to be introduced into the first wheel R1. For example, this second end may have a cylindrical shape having a polygon-shaped section (for example a hexagon) and the first wheel R1 may comprise a housing of shape homologous to this section.
[0030] On notera que le premier axe A1 peut faire partie du dispositif d'interface D. Mais cela n'est pas obligatoire. Il peut en effet faire partie du mécanisme du verrou VR. It will be noted that the first axis A1 may be part of the interface device D. But this is not mandatory. It can indeed be part of the VR lock mechanism.
[0031 ] La seconde roue R2 est propre à être couplée indirectement à la serrure SR, via au moins l'arbre AR, comme on le verra plus loin. The second wheel R2 is adapted to be coupled indirectly to the lock SR, via at least the AR shaft, as will be seen later.
[0032] Chaque câble CBi comprend des première et seconde extrémités opposées qui sont respectivement couplées aux première R1 et seconde R2 roues. Each cable CBi comprises first and second opposite ends which are respectively coupled to the first R1 and second R2 wheels.
[0033] On notera que dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré non limitativement sur les figures 1 à 5 le dispositif d'interface D comprend deux câbles CB1 et CB2 (j = 1 ou 2) dont les première et seconde extrémités sont solidarisées fixement et respectivement aux première R1 et seconde R2 roues en des endroits différents. Ainsi, lorsque l'un des câbles (par exemple CB1 ) est entraîné selon un premier sens du fait de l'entraînement en rotation de la première roue R1 par le premier axe A1 , l'autre câble (par exemple CB2) est entraîné selon un second sens qui est opposé au premier sens. Mais dans une variante de réalisation le dispositif d'interface D pourrait ne comprendre qu'un seul câble solidarisé aux première R1 et seconde R2 roues, et éventuellement en forme de boucle fermée. Note that in the embodiment shown in non-limiting manner in FIGS. 1 to 5, the interface device D comprises two cables CB1 and CB2 (j = 1 or 2) whose first and second ends are solidly fixed together and respectively to the first R1 and second R2 wheels at different locations. Thus, when one of the cables (for example CB1) is driven in a first direction because of the rotational drive of the first wheel R1 by the first axis A1, the other cable (for example CB2) is driven according to a second meaning that is opposed to the first meaning. But in an alternative embodiment the interface device D may comprise only one cable secured to the first R1 and second R2 wheels, and possibly in the form of a closed loop.
[0034] On notera également que dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré non limitativement sur les figures 1 à 5 les première R1 et seconde R2 roues comprennent chacune une rainure périphérique RP définissant une gorge de guidage pour chaque câble CBi. Cela facilite l'entraînement en rotation de la seconde roue R2 par la première roue R1 et donc le placement dans des positions de verrouillage et de déverrouillage. Mais cela n'est pas obligatoire. Note also that in the embodiment shown nonlimitingly in Figures 1 to 5 the first R1 and R2 R2 wheels each comprise a peripheral groove RP defining a guide groove for each cable CBi. This facilitates the rotational drive of the second wheel R2 by the first wheel R1 and thus the placement in locking and unlocking positions. But this is not obligatory.
[0035] Le premier pignon de transfert PT1 est couplé en rotation à la seconde roue R2. The first transfer gear PT1 is rotatably coupled to the second wheel R2.
[0036] On notera que le premier pignon de transfert PT1 et la seconde roue R2 peuvent éventuellement faire partie d'une même pièce monobloc. Par exemple, les dents du premier pignon de transfert PT1 peuvent être définies dans une face avant ou arrière de la première roue R1 . Mais cela n'est pas obligatoire. Ils pourraient en effet être solidarisés l'un à l'autre, par exemple par vissage, collage, soudage ou clippage. It will be noted that the first transfer pinion PT1 and the second wheel R2 may optionally be part of the same one-piece piece. For example, the teeth of the first transfer gear PT1 may be defined in a front or rear face of the first wheel R1. But this is not obligatory. They could indeed be secured to one another, for example by screwing, gluing, welding or clipping.
[0037] On notera également que dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré non limitativement sur les figures 1 à 5 les première R1 et seconde R2 roues sont décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre suivant la direction longitudinale X et suivant la direction verticale Z. En d'autres termes, les première R1 et seconde R2 roues ne sont pas alignées suivant la direction verticale Z. Ainsi, elles participent au contournement de la vitre VT, et plus précisément au contournement longitudinal. Mais cela n'est pas obligatoire. Note also that in the embodiment shown non-limitatively in Figures 1 to 5 the first R1 and second R2 wheels are offset relative to each other in the longitudinal direction X and in the vertical direction In other words, the first R1 and second R2 wheels are not aligned in the vertical direction Z. Thus, they participate in bypassing the glass VT, and more precisely the longitudinal bypass. But this is not obligatory.
[0038] L'arbre AR est destiné à contourner la vitre VT quelle que soit sa position dans le caisson CP. The AR shaft is intended to bypass the glass VT regardless of its position in the CP box.
[0039] On notera que dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré non limitativement sur les figures 1 à 5 l'arbre AR s'étend sensiblement transversalement (suivant Y) dans le caisson CP. Il est donc sensiblement parallèle au premier axe A1 . Mais cela n'est pas obligatoire. Il pourrait en effet faire un angle différent de 0° par rapport à la direction transversale Y et/ou faire un angle différent de 90° par rapport àla direction verticale Z. Note that in the embodiment shown nonlimitingly in Figures 1 to 5 the AR shaft extends substantially transversely (along Y) in the box CP. It is therefore substantially parallel to the first axis A1. But this is not obligatory. It could indeed make an angle different from 0 ° with respect to the transverse direction Y and / or at an angle different from 90 ° with respect to the vertical direction Z.
[0040] D'une manière générale, le dispositif d'interface D peut permettre un déport du verrou VR transversal et éventuellement longitudinal et/ou vertical. La distance entre le bord arrière de la vitre VT et la paroi arrière PR du caisson CP de la porte PV peut ainsi varier selon les besoins. In general, the interface device D may allow an offset of the transverse lock VR and optionally longitudinal and / or vertical. The distance between the rear edge of the glass VT and the rear wall PR of the box CP of the PV door can thus vary according to the needs.
[0041 ] Comme illustré sur les figures 2 à 4 cet arbre AR comporte une première extrémité munie d'un deuxième pignon de transfert PT1 qui engrène le premier pignon de transfert PT1 et une seconde extrémité qui est propre à être couplée à la serrure SR afin de provoquer son actionnement lorsqu'elle est entraînée en rotation. As illustrated in Figures 2 to 4 this AR shaft has a first end provided with a second transfer pinion PT1 which meshes with the first transfer gear PT1 and a second end which is adapted to be coupled to the lock SR so to cause its actuation when it is driven in rotation.
[0042] On notera que dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré non limitativement sur les figures 1 à 5 la seconde extrémité de l'arbre AR est couplée à la serrure SR indirectement via un pignon de sortie PS qui est lui- même couplé à la serrure SR via un second axe A2. Plus précisément, la seconde extrémité de l'arbre AR est munie d'un troisième pignon de transfert PT3 qui engrène le pignon de sortie PS, et le second axe A2 est couplé à la serrure SR afin d'actionner cette dernière SR lorsqu'il est entraîné en rotation par le pignon de sortie PS. Dans ce cas, le pignon de sortie PS fait préférentiellement partie du dispositif d'interface D. Note that in the embodiment shown non-limitingly in Figures 1 to 5 the second end of the AR shaft is coupled to the lock SR indirectly via an output pinion PS which is itself coupled to the lock SR via a second axis A2. More specifically, the second end of the AR shaft is provided with a third transfer gear PT3 which meshes the output gear PS, and the second axis A2 is coupled to the lock SR to actuate the latter SR when is rotated by the output gear PS. In this case, the output gear PS is preferentially part of the interface device D.
[0043] Le second axe A2 comporte une première extrémité qui est destinée à être introduite dans un élément du mécanisme de la serrure SR. Par exemple, cette première extrémité peut présenter une forme cylindrique ayant une section en forme de polygone (par exemple un hexagone) et l'élément de la serrure SR peut comprendre un logement de forme homologue à cette section. The second axis A2 has a first end which is intended to be introduced into an element of the SR lock mechanism. For example, this first end may have a cylindrical shape having a polygon-shaped section (for example a hexagon) and the element of the lock SR may comprise a housing of form homologous to this section.
[0044] Par ailleurs, le second axe A2 comporte une seconde extrémité qui est, ici, destinée à être introduite dans un logement du pignon de sortie PS. Par exemple, cette seconde extrémité peut présenter une forme cylindrique ayant une section en forme de polygone (par exemple un hexagone) et le pignon de sortie PS peut comprendre un logement de forme homologue à cette section. Furthermore, the second axis A2 has a second end which is here intended to be introduced into a housing of the output pinion PS. For example, this second end may have a cylindrical shape having a polygon-shaped section (for example a hexagon) and the output pinion PS may comprise a housing of shape homologous to this section.
[0045] On notera que le second axe A2 peut faire partie du dispositif d'interface D. Mais cela n'est pas obligatoire. Il peut en effet faire partie du mécanisme de la serrure SR. It will be noted that the second axis A2 may be part of the interface device D. But this is not mandatory. It can indeed be part of the mechanism of the lock SR.
[0046] On notera également que l'arbre AR, le deuxième pignon de transfert PT2 et l'éventuel troisième pignon de transfert PT3 peuvent faire partie d'une même pièce monobloc. Mais cela n'est pas obligatoire. Le deuxième pignon de transfert PT2 et l'éventuel troisième pignon de transfert PT3 pourraient en effet être rapportés fixement sur les extrémités de l'arbre AR. It will also be noted that the AR shaft, the second PT2 transfer pinion and the possible third PT3 transfer pinion can be part of the same one-piece piece. But this is not obligatory. The second transfer gear PT2 and the possible third transfer pinion PT3 could indeed be fixedly attached to the ends of the AR shaft.
[0047] Une variante de réalisation sans troisième pignon de transfert PT3 et sans pignon de sortie PS peut être envisagée. En effet, la seconde extrémité de l'arbre AR pourrait être adaptée de manière à pouvoir être directement couplée au mécanisme de la serrure SR. An alternative embodiment without third transfer pinion PT3 and without output pinion PS may be considered. Indeed, the second end of the AR shaft could be adapted so as to be directly coupled to the mechanism of the lock SR.
[0048] On notera également que le dispositif d'interface D peut, au moins dans certains modes de réalisation, être avantageusement utilisé avec un verrou du commerce (c'est-à-dire non modifié) et/ou une serrure du commerce (c'est-à-dire non modifiée). It will also be noted that the interface device D may, at least in certain embodiments, advantageously be used with a commercial lock (that is to say unmodified) and / or a commercial lock ( that is to say, not modified).
[0049] On notera également, comme illustré non limitativement sur la figure 5, que le dispositif d'interface D peut comprendre un boîtier de protection (ou anti-effraction) BT dans lequel sont installés les première R1 et seconde R2 roues, l'arbre AR, les premier PT1 et deuxième PT2 pignons de transfert, l'éventuel troisième pignon de transfert PT3, chaque câble CBi, et l'éventuel pignon de sortie PS. Par ailleurs, comme illustré non limitativement sur la figure 5, ce boîtier BT peut éventuellement et avantageusement comprendre des guides GC destinés à guider le coulissement des câbles Ci, et ainsi garantir la permanence de leur position relative par rapport aux roues R1 et R2, même en cas de forte inclinaison de leur porte PV. Sur la figure 5, le boîtier BT comprend une paroi munie d'une ouverture en regard des câbles CBi, mais cette paroi pourrait être entièrement fermée. It will also be noted, as shown in non-limiting manner in FIG. 5, that the interface device D may comprise a protection (or burglar-proof) housing BT in which the first R1 and second R2 wheels are installed. AR shaft, the first PT1 and second PT2 transfer pinions, the possible third PT3 transfer pinion, each CBi cable, and the eventual PS pinion gear. Moreover, as illustrated without limitation in FIG. 5, this housing BT may optionally and advantageously comprise guides GC intended to guide the sliding of the cables Ci, and thus to guarantee the permanence of their relative position with respect to the wheels R1 and R2, even in case of high inclination of their PV door. In FIG. 5, the LV housing comprises a wall provided with an opening facing the CBi cables, but this wall could be completely closed.
5 [0050] Grâce à un tel boîtier BT, les différents constituants du dispositif d'interface D peuvent être précisément positionnés les uns par rapport aux autres et sont protégés efficacement contre les effractions. En outre, le dispositif d'interface D peut être avantageusement installé dans le caisson CP de la porte PV avant que le verrou VR ne soit installé. î o [0051 ] On notera également que certains au moins des pignons (PT1 , PT2, PT3 et PS) peuvent être éventuellement agencés de manière à offrir par paire différents rapports de réduction. Thanks to such a housing BT, the various components of the interface device D can be precisely positioned relative to each other and are effectively protected against break-ins. In addition, the interface device D can advantageously be installed in the box CP of the PV door before the lock VR is installed. It will also be appreciated that at least some of the pinions (PT1, PT2, PT3 and PS) may be optionally arranged to provide different reduction ratios in pairs.
[0052] Lorsqu'une clé actionne le mécanisme du verrou VR dans un premier sens, par exemple associé à un déverrouillage, cela entraîne en rotation le 15 premier axe A1 , qui entraîne à son tour en rotation la première roue R1 . Les câbles CBi sont alors entraînés, ce qui provoque l'entraînement en rotation de la seconde roue R1 et donc du premier pignon de transfert PT1 qui lui est couplé en rotation. Le premier pignon de transfert PT1 entraîne alors en rotation le deuxième pignon de transfert PT2, ce qui provoqueWhen a key actuates the mechanism of the lock VR in a first direction, for example associated with an unlocking, this rotates the first axis A1, which in turn drives the first wheel R1 in rotation. The CBi cables are then driven, which causes the rotation drive of the second wheel R1 and therefore the first transfer pinion PT1 coupled to it in rotation. The first transfer gear PT1 then rotates the second transfer pinion PT2, which causes
20 l'entraînement en rotation de l'arbre AR et donc du troisième pignon de transfert PT3 qui lui est couplé en rotation. Le troisième pignon de transfert PT3 entraîne alors en rotation le pignon de sortie PS, ce quoi provoque l'entraînement en rotation du second axe A2 et donc l'actionnement du mécanisme de la serrure SR. On comprendra que l'actionnement de la clé 25 dans un second sens, opposé au premier, procurera l'effet inverse, par exemple le verrouillage. 20 the rotational drive of the AR shaft and therefore the third PT3 transfer pinion coupled to it in rotation. The third transfer pinion PT3 then rotates the output pinion PS, which causes the rotation drive of the second axis A2 and thus the actuation of the mechanism of the lock SR. It will be understood that actuation of the key 25 in a second direction, opposite to the first, will provide the opposite effect, for example locking.
[0053] L'invention offre plusieurs avantages, parmi lesquels : The invention offers several advantages, among which:
• une distance très réduite entre le bord arrière de la vitre et la paroi arrière du caisson de la porte, • a very small distance between the rear edge of the window and the rear wall of the door casing,
30 · une possibilité de recouvrement total de la serrure par la vitre grâce à une adaptation du diamètre des différents pignons, 30 · a possibility of total recovery of the lock by the glass through an adaptation of the diameter of the different gears,
• une absence de variation d'encombrement des différents constituants du dispositif d'interface pendant les phases d'actionnement, • a lack of variation in the size of the different components of the interface device during the actuation phases,
• une déformation très limitée de l'arbre qui évite la survenue de pannes, • a very limited deformation of the tree which prevents the occurrence of breakdowns,
• une génération de bruit très limitée en présence de vibrations et lors des fermetures de porte, du fait de l'utilisation d'un arbre de contournement et non d'une tringle, • a very limited noise generation in the presence of vibrations and during door closures, due to the use of a bypass shaft and not a rod,
• le couplage à un verrou et à une serrure sans modification de ces derniers. • the coupling to a lock and a lock without modification of these.
[0054] L'invention ne se limite pas aux modes de réalisation de dispositif d'interface, de système de verrouillage, de porte de véhicule, et de véhicule décrits ci-avant, seulement à titre d'exemple, mais elle englobe toutes les variantes que pourra envisager l'homme de l'art dans le cadre des revendications ci-après.
