Dispositivo de refuerzo para puerta de vehiculoReinforcement device for vehicle door

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente solicitud de patente tiene por objeto un dispositivo de refuerzo para puerta de vehiculo segun la reivindicacion 1, que incorpora notables innovaciones y ventajas.The purpose of the present patent application is a reinforcement device for the vehicle door according to claim 1, which incorporates notable innovations and advantages.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Para que un vehiculo pueda ser comercializado, este debe superar un conjunto de pruebas de homologacion. Entre ellas existen las pruebas de impacto lateral o hundimiento de puerta de un vehiculo. Estas pruebas consisten en colisionar un impactor, o elemento destinado a producir impactos, contra una determinada zona del lateral del vehiculo. Como consecuencia a dicho impacto se produce una intrusion de las puertas que provoca una deformacion de la puerta hacia el interior. La deformacion de la parte central de la puerta hacia el interior del vehiculo provoca una deformacion de la parte lateral hacia el exterior, pudiendo producir en dicha zona lateral un desplazamiento suficiente para que la cerradura de la puerta quede extralda del resbalon, o punto de enganche. Todo ello puede conllevar a que la puerta quede abierta tras el choque del impactor, provocando que el vehiculo no pueda ser homologado.In order for a vehicle to be marketed, it must pass a set of homologation tests. Among them are the tests of lateral impact or sinking of a vehicle door. These tests consist of colliding an impactor, or element intended to produce impacts, against a certain area on the side of the vehicle. As a consequence of this impact, there is an intrusion of the doors that causes a deformation of the door inwards. The deformation of the central part of the door towards the interior of the vehicle causes a deformation of the lateral part towards the outside, being able to produce in said lateral zone a sufficient displacement so that the door lock is removed from the slip, or attachment point . All this can lead to the door being left open after the impact of the impactor, causing the vehicle to not be approved.

En relacion a este concepto, es conocido del estado de la tecnica, segun se refleja en el documento FR3006632, una disposition para puerta de vehiculo automovil que comprende un panel exterior, una manecilla montada en el panel exterior, un armazon de la puerta y una cuna que forma un distanciador, o elemento que produce una distancia, entre la manecilla y el armazon de la puerta. En caso de un impacto lateral en la puerta la cuna contacta con la manecilla. La cuna comprende una primera y una segunda portion formadas en materiales separados y asegurados entre si para formar una cuna integral. Las porciones primera y segunda se apilan en el espesor de la cuna a lo largo de la direction que se extiende des del armazon de la puerta hasta la manecilla.In relation to this concept, it is known from the state of the art, as reflected in document FR3006632, an arrangement for a vehicle door comprising an exterior panel, a hand mounted on the exterior panel, a door frame and a cradle that forms a spacer, or element that produces a distance, between the hand and the door frame. In case of a side impact on the door the cradle contacts the hand. The cradle comprises a first and a second portion formed in separate materials and secured together to form an integral cradle. The first and second portions are stacked in the thickness of the cradle along the direction that extends from the door frame to the hand.

Sin embargo, esta disposicion presenta diversos inconvenientes:However, this provision has several drawbacks:

- Es un concepto muy rlgido, que puede llegar a causar intrusiones en el habitaculo. Es decir, en caso de un fuerte impacto, la cuna se comporta como un bloque rlgido que intrusiona en el habitaculo, es decir, que entra en su espacio, y puede provocar danos en el usuario que se encuentre adyacente a la puerta.- It is a very rigid concept, which can cause intrusions in the room. That is to say, in case of a strong impact, the cradle behaves like a rigid block that intrusions into the room, that is, that enters its space, and can cause damage to the user who is adjacent to the door.

- Presenta dificultades de montaje. Requiere de varias uniones, una de ellas atornillada al armazon de la puerta y una segunda union entre los dos componentes que forman la cuna. En consecuencia, aumenta enormemente los tiempos y costes de obtencion de la pieza, ademas de los de montaje en el vehlculo.- Presents assembly difficulties. It requires several joints, one of them bolted to the door frame and a second union between the two components that form the cradle. Consequently, it greatly increases the times and costs of obtaining the part, in addition to those of assembly in the vehicle.

- Presenta un peso elevado. Es un bloque rlgido y macizo (incluso con elementos de metal).- It has a high weight. It is a rigid and solid block (even with metal elements).

- Pueden producirse ruidos entre el componente metalico y la propia manecilla. Tambien el cable que comunica la manecilla con la cerradura puede producir contactos y, por lo tanto ruidos, con el elemento metalico en su actuacion. Esto se traduce en repiqueteos, redundando en una sensacion de mala calidad cada vez que el usuario abre la puerta.- Noise may occur between the metal component and the hand itself. Also the cable that communicates the hand with the lock can produce contacts and, therefore noises, with the metallic element in its operation. This translates into rattling, resulting in a feeling of poor quality every time the user opens the door.

Es tambien conocido del estado de la tecnica, segun se refleja en el documento FR2980505, un elemento de fijacion que tiene una cabeza y una base destinadas a ser giradas sobre un lado de una manecilla y un elemento rlgido, respectivamente. Un espaciador esta dispuesto entre la manecilla y el elemento rlgido, el cual es todo uno con una abertura de puerta de un compartimiento de pasajeros para resistir el movimiento de la manecilla hacia el interior en caso de deformacion de la puerta. La base esta equipada con una brida de apoyo que se proyecta hacia fuera, y un miembro de accionamiento en una forma hexagonal dispuestos en una superficie de la base destinada a enfrentar el elemento rlgido. No obstante dicho documento esta mas orientado a evitar que la manecilla rote sobre si misma, no siendo eficaz como solucion a la hora de minimizar el riesgo de que la cerradura se abra frente a un impacto en el lateral del vehlculo.It is also known in the state of the art, as reflected in document FR2980505, a fixing element having a head and a base intended to be rotated on one side of a hand and a rigid element, respectively. A spacer is arranged between the hand and the rigid element, which is all one with a door opening of a passenger compartment to resist the movement of the hand inwards in case of deformation of the door. The base is equipped with a support flange that projects outwards, and a drive member in a hexagonal shape arranged on a surface of the base intended to face the rigid element. However, this document is more oriented to prevent the hand from rotating on itself, not being effective as a solution in minimizing the risk of the lock opening against an impact on the side of the vehicle.

As! pues, se ve que existe aun una necesidad de introducir mejoras en los dispositivos de refuerzo para puertas de vehlculo de modo que no se produzca la apertura involuntaria de puertas en un impacto lateral, ademas de mejorar el comportamiento de los dispositivos de refuerzo en caso de impacto y optimizar los procesos de obtencion y montaje de dichos dispositivos de refuerzo en el vehlculo.Ace! therefore, it is seen that there is still a need to introduce improvements in the reinforcement devices for vehicle doors so that there is no involuntary opening of doors in a side impact, in addition to improving the behavior of the reinforcement devices in case of impact and optimize the processes of obtaining and assembling said reinforcement devices in the vehicle.

DESCRIPCION DE LA INVENCIONDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

La presente solicitud se basa en el hecho de integrar nuevos componentes de refuerzo en la estructura interior de la puerta al objeto de optimizar el comportamiento de respuesta de la puerta ante un impacto lateral. Ademas, pretende solucionar el problema que tiene lugar en las pruebas o tests de impacto lateral o hundimiento de puerta: una deformacion hacia el interior de la zona central de la puerta, que puede provocar una deformacion por un extremo de la puerta, induciendo a una apertura involuntaria de la puerta. La esencia de la invencion es la inclusion de un saliente estructural entre la cerradura y la manecilla para transmitir esfuerzos, redundando, como efecto secundario en una mejora de la estanqueidad en dicha manecilla.The present application is based on the fact of integrating new reinforcement components in the interior structure of the door in order to optimize the response behavior of the door to a side impact. In addition, it intends to solve the problem that occurs in tests or tests of lateral impact or sinking of the door: a deformation towards the inside of the central area of the door, which can cause a deformation by one end of the door, inducing a involuntary opening of the door. The essence of the invention is the inclusion of a structural projection between the lock and the hand to transmit efforts, resulting in, as a side effect in an improvement of the tightness in said hand.

Asl pues, y mas detalladamente, la invencion consiste en un dispositivo de refuerzo para puerta de vehlculo, en donde dicha puerta comprende un panel interior, un panel exterior, un panel estructural dispuesto entre el panel interior y el panel exterior, una manecilla, montada sobre el panel exterior, un refuerzo interno de la manecilla dispuesto en el panel exterior, y una cerradura asociada a la manecilla, donde el dispositivo de refuerzo comprende un elemento espaciador montado entre el panel exterior y el panel estructural en donde el elemento espaciador es de material plastico y en donde comprende una base de manera que el elemento espaciador esta unido al refuerzo interno de la manecilla a traves de la base, un saliente que se extiende hacia el panel estructural susceptible de vincular mecanicamente el panel exterior y el panel estructural en caso de un impacto lateral sobre la puerta del vehlculo. De este modo, e introduciendo la pieza adicional del elemento espaciador, se obtiene un saliente que permite establecer contacto entre el panel estructural y el panel exterior, consiguiendo asl reducir la magnitud del doblado de la puerta, caso de impacto lateral, evitando asl que la cerradura se desprenda del resbalon, o punto de enganche.Thus, and in more detail, the invention consists of a vehicle door reinforcement device, wherein said door comprises an inner panel, an outer panel, a structural panel disposed between the inner panel and the outer panel, a hand, mounted on the outer panel, an internal reinforcement of the hand disposed on the outer panel, and a lock associated with the hand, where the reinforcement device comprises a spacer element mounted between the outer panel and the structural panel where the spacer element is of plastic material and where it comprises a base so that the spacer element is attached to the internal reinforcement of the hand through the base, a projection that extends towards the structural panel capable of mechanically linking the outer panel and the structural panel in case of a lateral impact on the vehicle door. In this way, and introducing the additional part of the spacer element, a projection is obtained that allows to establish contact between the structural panel and the outer panel, thus reducing the magnitude of the bending of the door, in the case of lateral impact, thus preventing the lock comes off the slip, or hitch point.

Al ser dicho saliente estructural o elemento espaciador un elemento de material plastico se permite mucha mas versatilidad en el diseno, permitiendo aunar la funcion de apoyo anti- deformacion, con otras como mejora de la estanqueidad, en un unico componente.Being said structural projection or spacer element an element of plastic material allows much more versatility in the design, allowing to combine the anti-deformation support function, with others as improvement of the tightness, in a single component.

Se precisa que la estructura basica de una puerta esta compuesta por un panel exterior, un panel interior y un panel estructural. Se entiende por panel estructural o armazon la pieza que forma la estructura principal del conjunto puerta y la que aporta la rigidez base en dichaIt is necessary that the basic structure of a door is composed of an outer panel, an inner panel and a structural panel. Structural panel or framework is understood as the part that forms the main structure of the door assembly and which provides the stiffness based on said

puerta. Esta formado normalmente por una unica pieza de estampacion de chapa de acero de alta resistencia. Al panel estructural se acoplan el resto de componentes de chapisterla de la puerta y tambien todos los elementos de montaje. Ademas, se entiende por panel exterior la pieza de chapa vista desde el exterior del vehlculo. Por el contrario, se entiende por panel interior la pieza de plastico vista desde el interior del vehlculo.door. It is usually formed by a single piece of high strength steel sheet stamping. The rest of the door sill components and also all the mounting elements are attached to the structural panel. In addition, the outer panel means the sheet metal part seen from the outside of the vehicle. On the contrary, the interior panel is understood as the plastic part seen from inside the vehicle.

Senalar que con la presente idea se busca empaquetar, es decir establecer contactos entre los componentes, y transmitir esfuerzos entre ellos. De esta manera, se pretende que un esfuerzo recibido por el panel exterior, sea transmitido sobre el panel estructural de la puerta evitando que se produzca una elevada deformacion de dicho panel exterior. De este modo se busca que, en caso de impacto lateral, tanto panel exterior como panel estructural se desplacen como un conjunto, gracias a la accion del elemento espaciador.Note that with the present idea it is sought to package, that is to establish contacts between the components, and transmit efforts between them. In this way, it is intended that an effort received by the outer panel, be transmitted on the structural panel of the door preventing a high deformation of said outer panel. In this way, it is sought that, in case of lateral impact, both the outer panel and the structural panel move as a whole, thanks to the action of the spacer element.

Por otro lado, la manecilla se encuentra montada sobre una primera superficie exterior del panel exterior. Esta primera superficie exterior es la superficie mas alejada del panel estructural. De este modo, un usuario puede acceder al vehlculo actuando sobre dicha manecilla. Por otro lado, el refuerzo interno de la manecilla esta dispuesto en una segunda superficie interior del panel exterior. Esta segunda superficie es la superficie mas proxima al panel estructural, de manera que permite rigidificar la zona de la manecilla y, ademas, permitir el montaje de dicha manecilla.On the other hand, the hand is mounted on a first outer surface of the outer panel. This first outer surface is the surface furthest from the structural panel. In this way, a user can access the vehicle by acting on said hand. On the other hand, the internal reinforcement of the hand is arranged on a second inner surface of the outer panel. This second surface is the surface closest to the structural panel, so that it allows to stiffen the area of the hand and, in addition, allow the assembly of said hand.

Adicionalmente se precisa que la cerradura quede asociada a la manecilla mediante, a modo de ejemplo, un cable Bowden, o cable mecanico flexible (cable interior mas funda) usado para la transmision mecanica del movimiento por traccion, de manera que una actuacion de la manecilla repercuta en un accionamiento de la cerradura. As! se permite el anclaje o desanclaje de la puerta de un vehlculo.Additionally, it is required that the lock be associated with the hand by, for example, a Bowden cable, or flexible mechanical cable (inner cable plus sheath) used for the mechanical transmission of traction movement, so that an actuation of the hand It affects a lock drive. Ace! anchoring or undocking of a vehicle door is allowed.

En una realization preferida de la invention, la union entre la base del elemento espaciador y el refuerzo interno de la manecilla es por medio de al menos un clip. De este modo el montaje se realiza de manera mas sencilla, minimizando el numero de componentes, e inmediata, con un menor tiempo dedicado por parte del operario. La presencia de clips en lugar de otros medios de union, tales como tornillos, es posible al ser un componente de material plastico.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the union between the base of the spacer element and the internal reinforcement of the hand is by means of at least one clip. In this way the assembly is carried out in a simpler way, minimizing the number of components, and immediately, with less time dedicated by the operator. The presence of clips instead of other joining means, such as screws, is possible because it is a component of plastic material.

Ventajosamente, el elemento espaciador es un unico componente, obtenido de un mismo proceso de inyeccion, de manera que se simplifica el metodo de fabrication del dispositivo, y los medios utilizados para el mismo.Advantageously, the spacer element is a single component, obtained from the same injection process, so that the manufacturing method of the device is simplified, and the means used for it.

En una realization preferida de la invention, el saliente es susceptible de vincular mecanicamente la cerradura y el refuerzo interno de la manecilla, estando la cerradura montada sobre el panel estructural. Con vincular mecanicamente se refiere preferentemente a establecer un contacto flsico, a modo de tope fin de carrera, de modo que la manecilla y la cerradura conforman un conjunto empaquetado al producirse un impacto lateral sobre la puerta. Asl, con la action de la fuerza se inicia una transmision de los esfuerzos hacia la zona rlgida de la puerta, produciendose una deformation de los componentes de una forma unificada y conjunta.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the projection is capable of mechanically linking the lock and the internal reinforcement of the hand, the lock being mounted on the structural panel. By mechanically linking, it preferably refers to establishing a physical contact, as a limit stop, so that the hand and the lock form a packaged assembly when a lateral impact on the door occurs. Thus, with the action of the force, a transmission of the forces begins towards the rigid area of the door, producing a deformation of the components in a unified and joint way.

Precisar que la cerradura ya esta fijada al armazon puerta o panel estructural, por lo que no es necesario anadir elementos de refuerzo adicionales, sino basicamente transmitir los esfuerzos entre las piezas que ya estan presentes. En particular, se busca un empaquetamiento de la manecilla con la cerradura a traves del elemento espaciador. De este modo, el panel exterior y el panel estructural quedaran vinculados y se evitaran unas intrusiones excesivas del panel exterior. Es importante precisar que se busca un contacto directo entre piezas internas tras el impacto lateral, sin buscar ni absorcion ni deformacion controlada de la energla desprendida en el impacto.Specify that the lock is already attached to the door frame or structural panel, so it is not necessary to add additional reinforcement elements, but basically transmit the forces between the parts that are already present. In particular, a packing of the hand with the lock is sought through the spacer element. In this way, the outer panel and the structural panel will be linked and excessive intrusions of the outer panel will be avoided. It is important to specify that a direct contact between internal parts is sought after the lateral impact, without seeking or controlled absorption or deformation of the energy released in the impact.

En otra realizacion preferida de la invencion, el elemento espaciador comprende al menos una zona de rotura controlada dispuesta al menos parcialmente entre el saliente y la base. De este modo, y en caso de que el impacto supere un umbral de fuerza y/o de velocidad, la pieza limita y amortigua la transmision de la energla hacia el interior del habitaculo. De este modo se evita que el elemento espaciador se convierta en un bloque rlgido que, en caso de un fuerte impacto lateral, produzca una intrusion en el habitaculo y contacte con un ocupante en una zona no deseada. Ventajosamente, antes de que se produzca una intrusion excesiva en el interior del habitaculo, el saliente se desprende de la base, por lo que se elimina la posibilidad de producir danos a un ocupante del interior del vehlculo. Remarcar que el elemento espaciador de la presente invencion no esta pensado para intrusionar en el habitaculo y apartar el ocupante del vehlculo de la puerta, en caso de un impacto lateral.In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the spacer element comprises at least one controlled break zone arranged at least partially between the boss and the base. Thus, and if the impact exceeds a threshold of force and / or speed, the piece limits and dampens the transmission of energy into the interior of the room. This prevents the spacer element from becoming a rigid block that, in case of a strong lateral impact, produces an intrusion into the room and contacts an occupant in an unwanted area. Advantageously, before an excessive intrusion occurs inside the interior, the projection is detached from the base, whereby the possibility of damaging an occupant inside the vehicle is eliminated. Note that the spacer element of the present invention is not intended to intrusion into the room and remove the occupant of the vehicle from the door, in case of a side impact.

Mas en particular, el elemento espaciador comprende al menos un elemento de refuerzo dispuesto en la al menos una zona de rotura controlada. Dicho elemento de refuerzo permite eliminar la continuidad en la transicion entre la base y el saliente, de manera que, en funcion de su tamano y dimensiones, permite regular la resistencia a la rotura en caso de impacto, incrementando su resistencia en un rango de impactos controlados, evitando el efecto principal del doblado del panel exterior y, en consecuencia, el indeseado desenclavamiento de la cerradura respecto de su enganche.More particularly, the spacer element comprises at least one reinforcing element arranged in the at least one controlled breakage zone. Said reinforcing element allows eliminating continuity in the transition between the base and the projection, so that, depending on its size and dimensions, it allows to regulate the resistance to breakage in case of impact, increasing its resistance in a range of impacts controlled, avoiding the main effect of the bending of the outer panel and, consequently, the unwanted unlocking of the lock with respect to its engagement.

Mas concretamente, el al menos un elemento de refuerzo es un resalte, con unas dimensiones especlficas al objeto de, preferentemente, retardar en un grado determinado la rotura entre ambos componentes ante el impacto.More specifically, the at least one reinforcing element is a protrusion, with specific dimensions in order to, preferably, delay to a certain degree the breakage between both components before impact.

Segun otro aspecto de la invencion, el elemento espaciador comprende en la base una estructura cuadriculada o de nido de abeja. Dicho elemento de refuerzo ubicado en la cara posterior permite aumentar la rigidez del componente, a la vez de no incrementar el peso del conjunto y suponer un ahorro de material utilizado en la fabrication del elemento espaciador.According to another aspect of the invention, the spacer element comprises a grid or honeycomb structure at the base. Said reinforcing element located on the rear face allows to increase the rigidity of the component, while not increasing the weight of the assembly and supposing a saving of material used in the fabrication of the spacer element.

Ventajosamente, el saliente del elemento espaciador es un bloque rlgido, y no flexible, de modo que no absorbe substancialmente energla en caso de un eventual impacto, sino que la transmite.Advantageously, the projection of the spacer element is a rigid, non-flexible block, so that it does not substantially absorb energy in the event of an eventual impact, but rather transmits it.

Adicionalmente, la base comprende un elemento protector de la manecilla. De este modo, gracias a que el elemento espaciador es un componente de plastico, se le aplica una segunda funcionalidad en la que se evita la entrada de suciedad, y otros agentes externos, hacia los componentes que conforman la manecilla.Additionally, the base comprises a protective element of the hand. Thus, thanks to the spacer element being a plastic component, a second functionality is applied in which dirt, and other external agents, are prevented from entering the components that make up the hand.

Mas en particular, el elemento protector es un marco que envuelve al menos parcialmente el refuerzo interno de la manecilla de manera que el elemento protector y la manecilla estan asociados formando una cavidad estanca. Es importante precisar que el espacio comprendido entre el panel exterior y el panel estructural conforma una zona conocida como zona humeda de la puerta, en la que esta permitida la entrada de agentes externos, tales como agua, suciedad... Mediante el recubrimiento de la manecilla por parte de la base del elemento espaciador se evita que la humedad y el agua de lluvia o de lavado, penetren hacia el interior de la manecilla, dado que en determinadas circunstancias, el agua, convertida en hielo, podrla bloquear los mecanismos y contrapesos que forman parte de laMore particularly, the protective element is a frame that at least partially envelops the internal reinforcement of the hand so that the protective element and the hand are associated forming a tight cavity. It is important to specify that the space between the outer panel and the structural panel forms an area known as the wet area of the door, in which external agents such as water, dirt ... are allowed through the coating of the hand by the base of the spacer element prevents moisture and rainwater or washing water from penetrating into the hand, since in certain circumstances, water, turned into ice, could block the mechanisms and counterweights that are part of the

manecilla. Asl, si el agua o humedad se congela en la zona de la manecilla, puede llegar a impedir que el usuario pueda abrir o cerrar la puerta. En consecuencia, la base del elemento espaciador formara una union estanca con el refuerzo interno de la manecilla, de manera que los mecanismos internos de la manecilla quedaran protegidos de agentes externos.hand. Thus, if water or moisture freezes in the area of the hand, it can prevent the user from opening or closing the door. Consequently, the base of the spacer element will form a tight joint with the internal reinforcement of the hand, so that the internal mechanisms of the hand will be protected from external agents.

Precisar que con dicha propiedad de estanqueidad, se busca proteger los contrapesos y mecanismos cinematicos que actuan en la manecilla y permiten efectuar la apertura de la cerradura. Mencionar que, en una realization preferente, el saliente esta integrado con el elemento protector. Notar que por estanqueidad no se indica conseguir un recinto totalmente exento de agentes externos. Se busca que la union entre la base del elemento espaciador y el refuerzo de la manecilla evite la entrada de agua. El agua es filtrada en la zona humeda de la puerta por la zona superior de esta. Por efecto de la gravedad puede llegar a contactar con los mecanismos de la manecilla. Es por ello que es necesario crear una union estanca en la zona superior entre el elemento espaciador y el refuerzo manecilla. Tambien es requerido una union estanca al menos parcialmente en la zona lateral. Es opcional la zona inferior entre ambos componentes.Specify that with said sealing property, it seeks to protect the counterweights and kinematic mechanisms that act on the hand and allow the opening of the lock. Mention that, in a preferred embodiment, the projection is integrated with the protective element. Note that due to watertightness it is not indicated to obtain an enclosure totally free of external agents. It is sought that the union between the base of the spacer element and the reinforcement of the hand prevents the entry of water. Water is filtered in the humid area of the door through the upper part of the door. Due to the effect of gravity, it can come into contact with the mechanisms of the hand. That is why it is necessary to create a tight joint in the upper area between the spacer element and the hand reinforcement. A tight joint is also required at least partially in the lateral area. The lower zone between both components is optional.

Segun otro aspecto de la invention, el saliente comprende en un extremo opuesto a la base al menos una pared de contacto, y porque la cerradura comprende al menos una superficie susceptible de ser contactada, de manera que la al menos una pared de contacto y la al menos una superficie susceptible de ser contactada, son substancialmente paralelas entre si. Es de especial importancia que las superficies de contacto sean paralelas entre si, puesto que, en caso contrario, se inducirla al conjunto empaquetado a una rotation adicional. Dicha rotacion adicional producirla doblados adicionales y no controlados sobre el panel exterior, hecho que podrla significar en un comportamiento impredecible en el proceso de deformation del conjunto.According to another aspect of the invention, the projection comprises at one end opposite the base at least one contact wall, and because the lock comprises at least one surface that can be contacted, so that the at least one contact wall and the At least one surface that can be contacted is substantially parallel to each other. It is especially important that the contact surfaces are parallel to each other, since, otherwise, the packaged assembly will be induced to an additional rotation. Such additional rotation will produce additional and uncontrolled bends on the outer panel, which could mean unpredictable behavior in the deformation process of the assembly.

Precisar que unicamente existe contacto entre la cerradura y la cara inferior del saliente estructural, dado que, en caso contrario, se produce una rotacion de la manecilla que induce a un pliego indeseado en el revestimiento o panel exterior puerta.Specify that there is only contact between the lock and the underside of the structural projection, since, otherwise, there is a rotation of the hand that induces an unwanted sheet in the exterior door lining or panel.

Segun aun otro aspecto de la invencion, entre la pared de contacto y la superficie susceptible de ser contactada existe una distancia, la cual permite que no se produzcan ruidos indeseados a consecuencia de repiqueteos entre componentes.According to yet another aspect of the invention, there is a distance between the contact wall and the surface that can be contacted, which allows unwanted noises to occur as a result of rattling between components.

Mas especlficamente, la distancia es de entre 10mm y 20 mm. Gracias a esta holgura se facilita el montaje, permitiendo la manipulation de dichos componentes durante el proceso de ensamblaje en la puerta. Ademas, es la distancia mas apropiada para que al mismo tiempo haya una cercanla entre componentes que lleve al correcto funcionamiento de la invention.More specifically, the distance is between 10mm and 20mm. Thanks to this clearance, assembly is facilitated, allowing the manipulation of these components during the door assembly process. In addition, it is the most appropriate distance so that at the same time there is a closeness between components that leads to the proper functioning of the invention.

DESCRIPCION DE UNA REALIZACION PREFERENTEDESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A la vista de las mencionadas figuras y, de acuerdo con la numeracion adoptada, se puede observar en ellas un ejemplo de realizacion preferente de la invencion, la cual comprende las partes y elementos que se indican y describen en detalle a continuation.In view of the aforementioned figures and, according to the numbering adopted, an example of a preferred embodiment of the invention can be observed therein, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below.

Asl, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3, 4 y 7, el dispositivo de refuerzo para puerta 1 de vehlculo, en donde dicha puerta 1 comprende un panel interior 13, un panel exterior 11, un panel estructural 12 dispuesto entre el panel interior 13 y el panel exterior 11, una manecilla 2, montada sobre el panel exterior 11, un refuerzo interno 3 de la manecilla 2 dispuesto en el panel exterior 11, y una cerradura 4 asociada a la manecilla 2, donde el dispositivo de refuerzo comprende un elemento espaciador 5 montado entre el panel exterior 11 y el panel estructural 12 en donde el elemento espaciador 5 es de material plastico y en donde comprende una base 52 de manera que el elemento espaciador 5 esta unido al refuerzo interno 3 de la manecilla 2 a traves de la base 52, un saliente 51 que se extiende hacia el panel estructural 12 susceptible de vincular mecanicamente el panel exterior 11 y el panel estructural 12 en caso de un impacto lateral sobre la puerta 1 del vehlculo.Thus, as seen in figures 1, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3, 4 and 7, the reinforcement device for vehicle door 1, wherein said door 1 comprises an inner panel 13, an outer panel 11, a structural panel 12 disposed between the inner panel 13 and the outer panel 11, a hand 2, mounted on the outer panel 11, an internal reinforcement 3 of the hand 2 arranged on the outer panel 11, and a lock 4 associated with the hand 2 , where the reinforcing device comprises a spacer element 5 mounted between the outer panel 11 and the structural panel 12 where the spacer element 5 is made of plastic material and where it comprises a base 52 so that the spacer element 5 is attached to the reinforcement internal 3 of the hand 2 through the base 52, a projection 51 extending towards the structural panel 12 capable of mechanically linking the outer panel 11 and the structural panel 12 in case of a lateral impact on the door 1 of the vehicle.

De este modo, el dispositivo de refuerzo para puerta 1 de vehlculo consigue evitar unas deformaciones excesivas del panel exterior 11 consiguiendo un apoyo directo entre el panel exterior 11 y el panel estructural 12, a traves del elemento espaciador 5 de la presente invencion. Asl se consigue que, tras un impacto recibido en un lateral de un vehlculo, no se produzca un hundimiento excesivo del panel exterior 11 que induzca a una deformation sustancial del conjunto puerta 1, produciendo una abertura involuntaria de la puerta 1. Este tipo de impactos son evaluados en las pruebas de homologacion de un vehlculo, donde como requisito indispensable la puerta 1 no debe abrirse durante este tipo de impactos. Asl, mencionar que las condiciones de homologacion serlan de un impacto a 50 Km/h, a 90°, con una masa de 950 kg, tal y como puede verse representado en la figura 6.In this way, the reinforcement device for vehicle door 1 manages to avoid excessive deformations of the outer panel 11 by obtaining a direct support between the outer panel 11 and the structural panel 12, through the spacer element 5 of the present invention. Thus, it is achieved that, after an impact received on one side of a vehicle, there is no excessive sinking of the outer panel 11 that induces a substantial deformation of the door 1 assembly, producing an involuntary opening of the door 1. This type of impacts they are evaluated in the homologation tests of a vehicle, where, as an essential requirement, door 1 must not be opened during this type of impact. Thus, mention that the approval conditions will be of an impact at 50 km / h, at 90 °, with a mass of 950 kg, as can be seen in Figure 6.

Mas en particular, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 1 y 4, la union entre la base 52 del elemento espaciador 5 y el refuerzo interno 3 de la manecilla 2 es por medio de al menos un clip. Asl, el elemento espaciador 5 queda unido al panel exterior 11 de la puerta 1 mediante una union clipada, la cual permite un montaje rapido, robusto y sin componentes ni procesos anadidos.More particularly, as seen in Figures 1 and 4, the joint between the base 52 of the spacer element 5 and the internal reinforcement 3 of the hand 2 is by means of at least one clip. Thus, the spacer element 5 is connected to the outer panel 11 of the door 1 by means of a clipped joint, which allows a fast, robust assembly without components or processes added.

Cabe mencionar que, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 2A, 2B, 2C y 3, el elemento espaciador 5 es un unico componente. Se obtiene de un unico proceso de inyeccion, optimizando asl su proceso de fabrication y consiguiendo una gran versatilidad en su diseno y forma.It should be mentioned that, as can be seen in Figures 2A, 2B, 2C and 3, the spacer element 5 is a single component. It is obtained from a single injection process, thus optimizing its manufacturing process and achieving great versatility in its design and shape.

Segun una realization preferente de la invention, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 1 y 4, el saliente 51 es susceptible de vincular mecanicamente la cerradura 4 y el refuerzo interno 3 de la manecilla 2, estando la cerradura 4 montada sobre el panel estructural 12. De este modo, tal y como se observa en la section de la figura 4, el saliente 51 contacta con la cerradura 4, provocando una vinculacion mecanica entre el panel exterior 11 y el panel estructural 12. Debido a que la cerradura 4 se encuentra debidamente unida al panel estructural 12, es ventajoso que el contacto del saliente 51 se produzca con la cerradura 4 puesto que se produce un empaquetamiento temprano y se consigue optimizar el volumen de material que constituye el elemento espaciador 5.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, as seen in Figures 1 and 4, the projection 51 is mechanically capable of linking the lock 4 and the internal reinforcement 3 of the hand 2, the lock 4 being mounted on the structural panel 12 Thus, as seen in the section of Figure 4, the projection 51 contacts the lock 4, causing a mechanical link between the outer panel 11 and the structural panel 12. Because the lock 4 is located duly connected to the structural panel 12, it is advantageous for the contact of the projection 51 to occur with the lock 4 since early packing occurs and the volume of material constituting the spacer element 5 is optimized.

Segun otro aspecto de la invencion, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 5A, 5B y 5C, el elemento espaciador 5 comprende al menos una zona de rotura controlada 53 dispuesta al menos parcialmente entre el saliente 51 y la base 52. A modo de ejemplo, se muestra en las figuras 5A, 5B y 5C una secuencia temporal del comportamiento del elemento espaciador 5 de la presente invencion sometido a una simulation de un impacto lateral segun las condiciones de homologation mostradas en la figura 6.According to another aspect of the invention, as seen in Figures 5A, 5B and 5C, the spacer element 5 comprises at least one controlled breakage zone 53 arranged at least partially between the projection 51 and the base 52. By way of example , a time sequence of the behavior of the spacer element 5 of the present invention subjected to a simulation of a lateral impact according to the homologation conditions shown in Figure 6 is shown in Figures 5A, 5B and 5C.

Mas concretamente, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 1, 5A, 5B y 5C, el elemento espaciador 5 comprende al menos un elemento de refuerzo 531 dispuesto en la al menos una zona de rotura controlada 53. Segun se observa, toda la zona de transition entre la base 52 y el saliente 51 es una zona de rotura controlada que cede y rompe. La rotura se inicia y se extiende en la zona de transicion entre la base 52 y el saliente 51. Los elementos de refuerzo 531 rompen la continuidad de dicha zona de transicion retardando la rotura entre ambos componentes.More specifically, as seen in Figures 1, 5A, 5B and 5C, the spacer element 5 comprises at least one reinforcing element 531 disposed in the at least one controlled break zone 53. As noted, the entire area of The transition between the base 52 and the projection 51 is a controlled breakage zone that yields and breaks. The breakage begins and extends in the transition zone between the base 52 and the projection 51. The reinforcement elements 531 break the continuity of said transition zone by delaying the breakage between both components.

Especlficamente, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 1, 5A, 5B y 5C, el al menos un elemento de refuerzo 531 es un resalte. Mediante el uso de los resaltes se consigue aportar discontinuidad en la zona de transicion entre la base 52 y el saliente 51, pudiendo controlar con mayor precision el momento de rotura del saliente 51 respecto a la base 52 del elemento espaciador 5 de la presente invencion. De este modo se consigue, ventajosamente, que el dispositivo de refuerzo no se convierta en un bloque rlgido que, ante un esfuerzo excesivo, pueda ocasionar danos a los ocupantes del vehlculo. Mediante el uso de los resaltes se consigue evitar o retardar la rotura entre saliente 51 y base 52, adaptando el comportamiento del dispositivo de refuerzo a los diferentes tipos de impacto lateral a los que se pueda ver sometido, sin poner en peligro la integridad de los ocupantes interiores.Specifically, as seen in Figures 1, 5A, 5B and 5C, the at least one reinforcing element 531 is a shoulder. By using the projections it is possible to provide discontinuity in the transition zone between the base 52 and the projection 51, being able to control with greater precision the breaking moment of the projection 51 with respect to the base 52 of the spacer element 5 of the present invention. In this way, it is advantageously achieved that the reinforcement device does not become a rigid block which, due to excessive effort, may cause damage to the occupants of the vehicle. By using the projections it is possible to avoid or delay the breakage between projection 51 and base 52, adapting the behavior of the reinforcement device to the different types of lateral impact to which it can be subjected, without jeopardizing the integrity of the interior occupants

Segun otra realizacion preferente de la invencion, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 2A, el elemento espaciador 5 comprende en la base 52 una estructura cuadriculada o de nido de abeja, permitiendo rigidificar el conjunto, sin penalizar el peso global del elemento espaciador 5.According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, as seen in FIGS. 2A, the spacer element 5 comprises at the base 52 a grid or honeycomb structure, allowing the assembly to be stiffened, without penalizing the overall weight of the spacer element 5.

Cabe mencionar que, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 2A, 2B y 2C, el saliente 51 del elemento espaciador 5 es un bloque rlgido.It should be mentioned that, as seen in Figures 2A, 2B and 2C, the projection 51 of the spacer element 5 is a rigid block.

Segun otra realizacion preferente de la invencion, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 1, 2A, 2B, 2C y 3, la base 52 comprende un elemento protector 521 de la manecilla 2.According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, as seen in Figures 1, 2A, 2B, 2C and 3, the base 52 comprises a protective element 521 of the hand 2.

Como consecuencia,, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 1 y 4, el elemento protector 521 es un marco que envuelve al menos parcialmente el refuerzo interno 3 de la manecilla 2 de manera que el elemento protector 521 y la manecilla 2 estan asociados formando una cavidad estanca. Debido a que el refuerzo interno 3 de la manecilla 2 se encuentra en una zona humeda de la puerta 1, es necesario que se evite la entrada de agua a los mecanismos de contrapesos y mecanismos que componen la manecilla 2. El motivo es que dicha agua puede congelarse, impidiendo el accionamiento de dichos mecanismos y, por lo tanto, que no se produzca la apertura de la puerta 1 cuando el usuario accione la manecilla 2. De este modo, la base 52 esta disenada para impedir que el agua alcance los contrapesos y mecanismos que componen la manecilla 2. En consecuencia, se aporta una doble funcionalidad al elemento espaciador 5 de la presente invencion gracias a laAs a consequence, as seen in Figures 1 and 4, the protective element 521 is a frame that at least partially envelops the internal reinforcement 3 of the hand 2 so that the protective element 521 and the hand 2 are associated forming a watertight cavity Because the internal reinforcement 3 of the hand 2 is in a humid area of the door 1, it is necessary to prevent the entry of water to the counterweights mechanisms and mechanisms that make up the hand 2. The reason is that said water it can be frozen, preventing the actuation of said mechanisms and, therefore, that the opening of the door 1 does not occur when the user operates the handle 2. In this way, the base 52 is designed to prevent the water from reaching the counterweights and mechanisms that make up the hand 2. Consequently, a double functionality is provided to the spacer element 5 of the present invention thanks to the

modularidad en el diseno aportada por el hecho de que el elemento espaciador 5 sea de material plastico conseguido mediante un unico proceso de inyeccion.Modularity in the design provided by the fact that the spacer element 5 is made of plastic material achieved by a single injection process.

Segun una realization preferente de la invention, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 3 y 4, el saliente 51 comprende en un extremo opuesto a la base 52 al menos una pared 511 de contacto, y porque la cerradura 4 comprende al menos una superficie 41 susceptible de ser contactada, de manera que la al menos una pared 511 de contacto y la al menos una superficie 41 susceptible de ser contactada son substancialmente paralelas entre si.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, as seen in Figures 3 and 4, the projection 51 comprises at an opposite end to the base 52 at least one contact wall 511, and because the lock 4 comprises at least one surface 41 liable to be contacted, so that the at least one contact wall 511 and the at least one surface 41 liable to be contacted are substantially parallel to each other.

Mas en particular, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 1 y 4, entre la pared 511 de contacto y la superficie 41 susceptible de ser contactada existe una distancia 6. Especlficamente, tal como se aprecia en las figuras 1 y 4, la distancia 6 es de entre 10mm y 20 mm. De este modo, en una situation inicial de reposo y antes de producirse un impacto lateral, la pared 511 de contacto y la superficie 41 susceptible de ser contactada no estan en contacto. Posteriormente, la aplicacion de una carga sobre el panel exterior 11 provoca su hundimiento y, en consecuencia, un acercamiento progresivo entre la pared 511 de contacto y la superficie 41 susceptible de ser contactada. Si la carga persiste, se alcanza el contacto entre la pared 511 de contacto y la superficie 41 susceptible de ser contactada, con lo que el panel exterior 11 y el panel estructural 12 quedan vinculados mecanicamente.More particularly, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 4, between the contact wall 511 and the surface 41 that can be contacted there is a distance 6. Specifically, as can be seen in Figures 1 and 4, the distance 6 It is between 10mm and 20mm. Thus, in an initial resting situation and before a lateral impact occurs, the contact wall 511 and the surface 41 that can be contacted are not in contact. Subsequently, the application of a load on the outer panel 11 causes it to sink and, consequently, a progressive approach between the contact wall 511 and the surface 41 that can be contacted. If the load persists, contact is reached between the contact wall 511 and the surface 41 that can be contacted, whereby the outer panel 11 and the structural panel 12 are mechanically linked.

Precisar que, tal y como se observa en la figura 4, unicamente existe contacto entre la cerradura 4 y la cara inferior del saliente 51, dado que, en caso contrario, se produce una rotacion de la manecilla 2 que induce a un pliego indeseado en el revestimiento o panel exterior 11 de la puerta 1.Specify that, as shown in Figure 4, there is only contact between the lock 4 and the lower face of the projection 51, since, otherwise, a rotation of the hand 2 occurs that induces an unwanted sheet in the lining or outer panel 11 of the door 1.

Los detalles, las formas, las dimensiones y demas elementos accesorios, asl como los componentes empleados en la implementacion del dispositivo de refuerzo para puerta de vehlculo podran ser convenientemente sustituidos por otros que sean tecnicamente equivalentes, y no se aparten de la esencialidad de la invencion ni del ambito definido por las reivindicaciones que se incluyen a continuation de la siguiente lista.The details, shapes, dimensions and other accessory elements, as well as the components used in the implementation of the vehicle door reinforcement device may be conveniently replaced by others that are technically equivalent, and do not depart from the essentiality of the invention. nor of the scope defined by the claims that are included next to the following list.
