Description
L'invention a trait au domaine des ouvrants de coffre des véhicules automobiles et plus particulièrement à leur maintien en position et à leur amortissement lors de leur utilisation.The invention relates to the field of trunk openings of motor vehicles and more particularly to their holding in position and their damping during their use.
Un ouvrant de coffre est articulé par rapport à la caisse du véhicule au moyen de charnières entre une position fermée dans laquelle l'ouvrant empêche l'accès au coffre du véhicule et une position ouverte dans laquelle l'ouvrant est écarté de sa position fermée et permet un accès au coffre du véhicule.A boot lid is hinged relative to the vehicle body by means of hinges between a closed position in which the door prevents access to the trunk of the vehicle and an open position in which the door is removed from its closed position and allows access to the trunk of the vehicle.
Sur les véhicules de types compacts ou berlines comportant un hayon, les charnières sont placées en partie supérieure de l'ouvrant de telle sorte que l'ouvrant décrit un arc de cercle vers le haut lors de son ouverture, et un arc de cercle vers le bas lors de sa fermeture.On vehicles of compact or hatchback type, the hinges are placed in the upper part of the opening so that the opening describes a circular arc upwards when it opens, and an arc of a circle towards the down when it is closed.
Afin d'aider une personne lors de l'ouverture et de la fermeture de l'ouvrant, d'une part, et de maintenir l'ouvrant dans sa position fermée ou ouverte, d'autre part, le véhicule comprend des équilibreurs (avantageusement des vérins à gaz), généralement deux placés chacun d'un côté de l'ouvrant et montés pivotants chacun par rapport à la caisse du véhicule et par rapport à une partie inférieure de l'ouvrant. Les équilibreurs exercent un effort de poussée sur l'ouvrant de sorte que lors de l'ouverture, les équilibreurs se déplient pour faire monter l'ouvrant et lors de la fermeture, les équilibreurs tendent à se replier pour maintenir l'ouvrant en position fermée.In order to help a person when opening and closing the opening, on the one hand, and to maintain the opening in its closed or open position, on the other hand, the vehicle includes balancers (advantageously gas cylinders), generally two each placed on one side of the opening and pivotally mounted each relative to the vehicle body and relative to a lower portion of the opening. The balancers exert a thrust force on the opening so that when opening, the balancers unfold to raise the opening and when closing, the balancers tend to fold to maintain the opening in the closed position .
Les ouvrants de coffre des véhicules automobiles sont, de manière générale, réalisés en tôle métallique, formée par exemple par emboutissage.The opening trunk of motor vehicles are, in general, made of sheet metal, formed for example by stamping.
Les ouvrants en tôle présentent certains avantages tels que leur robustesse ainsi que leur facilité de fabrication. Toutefois, ces ouvrants ont un poids qui va à l'encontre de la tendance suivie par les constructeurs automobiles de réduction du poids des véhicules de sorte à les rendre moins énergivores et, par conséquent, moins polluants.The sheet metal openings have certain advantages such as their robustness as well as their ease of manufacture. However, these openings have a weight that goes against the trend followed by vehicle manufacturers to reduce the weight of vehicles so as to make them more energy efficient and, therefore, less polluting.
Ainsi, les constructeurs automobiles développent-ils des ouvrants de coffre légers réalisés à partir de matériaux composites. Ces ouvrants légers comprennent une ossature qui est tournée vers l'intérieur du véhicule, et une peau extérieure formant avec le reste de la carrosserie la ligne générale du véhicule.As a result, automakers are developing lightweight boot openings made from composite materials. These lightweight openings include a frame that is facing inside the vehicle, and an outer skin forming with the rest of the body the general line of the vehicle.
Les matériaux composites, par exemple polypropylène chargé de fibres de verre, peuvent être sujets à des déformations significatives. La chaleur ambiante peut, en combinaison avec les efforts exercés par les équilibreurs, déformer l'ouvrant de sorte que celui-ci n'empêche plus totalement l'accès au coffre, engendrant par exemple un problème d'étanchéité du véhicule.Composite materials, for example polypropylene filled with glass fibers, can be subject to significant deformations. The ambient heat can, in combination with the forces exerted by the balancers, deform the opening so that it no longer completely prevents access to the trunk, causing for example a problem of tightness of the vehicle.
Afin de limiter l'enfoncement de l'ouvrant dans la caisse du véhicule, selon une direction parallèle à la direction générale de déplacement du véhicule, l'ouvrant et/ou la caisse est (sont) équipé(s) de butées formant une entretoise entre la caisse et l'ouvrant. On peut, par exemple, se référer au brevet
Si cet ensemble permet de limiter l'enfoncement de l'ouvrant dans le coffre, il ne permet pas de résoudre ou au moins d'atténuer le problème de déformation de l'ouvrant.If this set allows to limit the depression of the opening in the trunk, it does not solve or at least mitigate the problem of deformation of the opening.

Selon le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures, l'armature 23 métallique comprend sur sa patte 27, à une extrémité opposée à la base 26, un ergot 28 en saillie sensiblement perpendiculaire à la patte 27.The
Tel que représenté sur les figures, la patte 27 forme, dans un même plan, avec la base 26, un angle A obtus compris entre 100° et 140° et, avantageusement, d'environ 120°.As shown in the figures, the
Selon l'invention, le moyen 24 de fixation est une bague taraudée solidaire de l'armature 23 métallique. Avantageusement, le moyen 24 de fixation traverse l'armature 23 métallique, sensiblement à la jonction entre la base 26 et la patte 27, de sorte à être affleurant sur une face 29 avant de l'armature 23 métallique, d'une part, et faire saillie de l'armature 23 métallique dans une direction opposée à l'ergot 28 d'autre part.According to the invention, the fixing means 24 is a threaded ring integral with the
Enfin, la pièce 25 polymère comprend un corps 30 et un tampon 31. Le corps 30 est surmoulé sur la base 26 et partiellement sur la patte 27 de l'armature 23 métallique et s'étend d'un seul côté de l'armature 23 métallique, à savoir depuis la face 29 avant dans la direction opposée à l'ergot 28. Le tampon 31, quant à lui, prolonge le corps 30 au delà de la base 26 de l'armature 23 métallique de sorte qu'il présente une surface 32 de butée située au-delà de la base 26 et s'étend de part et d'autre de l'armature 23 métallique.Finally, the polymer part comprises a
Avantageusement, la surface 32 de butée est galbée pour faciliter l'engagement de la butée 7 avec l'ouvrant 2 de coffre comme il sera expliqué ci-après.Advantageously, the
Sur le véhicule 1, le dispositif 4 de butée est assemblé comme suit. Le support 5 est monté sur l'élément 9 de structure, par contact entre la semelle 8 et l'élément 9 de structure, puis solidarisé à ce dernier au moyen des éléments de fixation traversant le perçage 10 et l'ouverture 11 oblongue.On the
Préalablement à la fixation du support 5 ou après sa fixation, la butée 7 est montée sur le support 5. Pour cela, le tampon 31 vient se loger dans l'échancrure 16 du support, le moyen 24 de fixation est aligné avec le trou 13 de l'âme 12 et l'ergot 28 vient se loger dans la fente 14 de l'âme 12.Prior to the fixing of the
L'assemblage est ensuite terminé par la solidarisation de la butée 7 sur le support 5 au moyen de l'axe 6. Plus précisément, la tige 21 filetée de l'axe 6 vient en prise hélicoïdale avec la bague taraudée prenant en sandwich l'âme 12 du support 5. Le serrage de l'axe 6 via l'écrou 19 assure alors le maintien de la butée 7 sur le support 5. Avantageusement, le serrage est réalisé à un couple compris entre 15Nm et 25Nm et, de préférence, à un couple de 20Nm.The assembly is then completed by the fastening of the
Afin de faciliter les mouvements d'ouverture et de fermeture de l'ouvrant 2 de coffre et de maintenir l'ouvrant 2 dans ses positions ouverte et fermée, le dispositif 4 de butée comprend également au moins un équilibreur 33 monté pivotant par rapport à l'axe 6 d'une part et par rapport à l'ouvrant 2 d'autre part.In order to facilitate the opening and closing movements of the
Comme on le voit sur les figures, l'équilibreur 33 est en l'espèce un vérin à gaz ou à ressort qui comprend un fût 34 et une tige 35 montée coulissante par rapport au fût 34, le fût 34 étant monté pivotant sur la rotule 17 de l'axe 6 et la tige 35 étant montée pivotante sur l'ouvrant 2.As seen in the figures, the
En position fermée de l'ouvrant 2, comme représenté en traits pleins sur la
Cette contrainte mécanique va tendre à déformer l'ouvrant 2 ce qui permet peut engendrer par exemple un problème d'étanchéité, notamment à l'eau. Par forte chaleur ambiante, la contrainte mécanique exercée par l'équilibreur 33 a tendance à déformer l'ouvrant 2 lorsque celui-ci est en position fermée.This mechanical stress will tend to deform the
La butée 7 du dispositif 4 de butée, vient alors se loger dans une contre butée, en l'espèce un logement 36 pratiqué sur l'ouvrant 2. Plus particulièrement, la surface 32 de butée de la pièce 25 polymère vient en appui contre une surface 37 supérieure du logement 36. Comme on le voit sur la
Sous la pression de l'ouvrant 2, le tampon 31 se déforme légèrement mais exerce un effort opposé à celui engendré par l'équilibreur 33, ce qui limite la déformation de l'ouvrant 2. Ainsi, l'ouvrant 2 reste en position fermée assurant l'étanchéité du véhicule 1.Under the pressure of the
Lorsque l'ouvrant 2 passe de sa position ouverte à sa position fermée, la surface 37 supérieure du logement 36 frotte sur la surface 32 de butée de la butée 7. La forme galbée de la surface 32 de butée permet alors de faciliter la mise en contact de la butée 7 avec le logement 36 de l'ouvrant 2 et limite le risque d'usure prématurée de la butée 7.When the
Le dispositif 4 de butée, et sa butée 7, décrits ci-dessus, présentent les avantages exprimés ci-dessous.The abutment device 4, and its
Premièrement, le dispositif 4 de butée permet de limiter, voire de supprimer la déformation de l'ouvrant 2 de coffre, la butée 7 exerçant, sur l'ouvrant 2, une force opposée à la contrainte mécanique exercée par l'équilibreur 33, et éventuellement à la combinaison de cette contrainte mécanique avec une contrainte thermique due à la température ambiante.Firstly, the stop device 4 makes it possible to limit or even eliminate the deformation of the
Deuxièmement le dispositif 4 de butée est simple et peu coûteux de fabrication. En effet, le support 5, la butée 7 et l'axe 6 peuvent être fabriqués indépendamment les uns des autres par emboutissage, moulage et/ou surmoulage.Secondly, the stop device 4 is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. Indeed, the
Enfin, le dispositif 4 est simple d'installation et d'utilisation. L'installation est faite lors du montage du véhicule 1 et ne nécessite, pour un opérateur, que l'utilisation de clés, par exemple de clés plates, afin de serrer l'axe 6 ou les éléments de fixation du support 5 sur l'élément 9 de structure du véhicule 1. Quant à l'utilisation, elle est presque indécelable pour l'utilisateur du véhicule 1 qui n'a pas à manoeuvrer la butée 7, ni à réaliser un effort de positionnement de l'ouvrant 2 par rapport au dispositif 4 de butée, seul l'aide apportée par l'équilibreur 33 étant ressentie par l'utilisateur.Finally, the device 4 is simple to install and use. The installation is done during the assembly of the
