Description

L'invention est relative à un dispositif pour l'im- plantation d'appareils électroniques dans un véhicule automobile. The invention relates to a device for installing electronic devices in a motor vehicle.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement l'implantation de ces appareils, boîtiers ou calculateurs, dans l'habitacle d'un véhicule, entre une planche de bord et un tablier séparant cet habitacle d'un compartiment moteur. Ces appareils sont reliés par des faisceaux de fils électriques à des organes situés dans le compartiment moteur, notamment pour la commande du moteur et de la boîte de vitesses du véhicule, et leur implantation dans l'habitacle permet de réaliser leur refroidissement - souhaitable pour la fiabilité de leur fonctionnement - plus aisément que s'ils étaient placés dans le compartiment moteur où règne le plus souvent une température plus élevée et un taux d'humidité supérieur. It relates more particularly to the location of these devices, boxes or computers, in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, between a dashboard and an apron separating this passenger compartment from an engine compartment. These devices are connected by bundles of electric wires to members located in the engine compartment, in particular for controlling the engine and the vehicle gearbox, and their installation in the passenger compartment makes it possible to cool them - desirable for reliability of their operation - easier than if they were placed in the engine compartment where a higher temperature and a higher humidity prevail.

Toutefois cette implantation entre planche de bord et tablier engendre des difficultés de mise en place et d'étanchéité au droit du tablier que doivent traverser les faisceaux reliant les appareils aux organes associés. However, this location between the dashboard and the apron creates difficulties in positioning and sealing in line with the apron which the beams connecting the devices to the associated organs must pass through.

L'invention vise à pallier ces difficultés en proposant un dispositif pour une telle implantation d'appareils électroniques, dans lequel ceux-ci sont contenus dans une boîte qui traverse le tablier par une ouverture en obturant celle-ci et qui comporte du côté du compartiment moteur une cloison traversée par les faisceaux de fils. The invention aims to overcome these difficulties by proposing a device for such implantation of electronic devices, in which these are contained in a box which passes through the apron by an opening closing the latter and which comprises on the compartment side motor a partition crossed by the bundles of wires.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, la boîte comporte des rebords maintenus r par des moyens de fixation, en appui sur la face du tablier tournée vers le compartiment moteur. According to an advantageous characteristic, the box has flanges held r by fixing means, bearing on the face of the bulkhead facing the engine compartment.

De préférence, les faisceaux sont reliés aux appareils par des connecteurs situés dans la boîte près d'un couvercle de celle-ci accessible du côté de l'habitacle, et au moins deux cloisons de la boîte sont pourvues d'ouvertures permettant un passage d'air pour le refroidissement des appareils. Preferably, the bundles are connected to the devices by connectors located in the box near a cover thereof accessible from the side of the passenger compartment, and at least two partitions of the box are provided with openings allowing passage of air for cooling devices.

Un dispositif pour l'implantation d'appareils selon l'invention est décrit ci-après, avec référence aux dessins annexés parmi lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue simplifiée en coupe d'une
partie de véhicule, au voisinage de son tablier équipé
du dispositif
- la figure 2 est une vue en perspective de la boîte du
dispositif, contenant les appareils et représentée sans
son couvercle
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe à plus grande
échelle selon la ligne III-III de la figure 1.
A device for the implantation of apparatuses according to the invention is described below, with reference to the appended drawings among which
- Figure 1 is a simplified sectional view of a
part of vehicle, near its equipped apron
of the device
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the box of
device, containing the devices and shown without
its cover
- Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view
scale according to line III-III of Figure 1.

On voit à la figure 1 un tablier 1 de véhicule qui relie un plancher 2 à un auvent 3 et qui sépare un compartiment moteur 4 de l'habitacle 5 du véhicule. FIG. 1 shows a vehicle deck 1 which connects a floor 2 to an awning 3 and which separates an engine compartment 4 from the passenger compartment 5 of the vehicle.

Dans l'espace 6 situé entre la planche de bord 7 du véhicule et le tablier 1, est logée en majeure partie une boîte 8 qui traverse une ouverture 9 du tablier et qui contient plusieurs boîtiers ou appareils électroniques 10 tels que des calculateurs reliés par des faisceaux de fils électriques il à des organes placés dans le compartiment moteur, non représentés et destinés à commander notamment le moteur et la boîte de vitesses du véhicule.In the space 6 located between the dashboard 7 of the vehicle and the deck 1, is housed for the most part a box 8 which passes through an opening 9 of the deck and which contains several boxes or electronic devices 10 such as computers connected by bundles of electrical wires there to members placed in the engine compartment, not shown and intended in particular to control the engine and the gearbox of the vehicle.

L'ouverture 9 présente une forme complémentaire de la section transversale de la boîte 8, de sorte que celle-ci obture l'ouverture. De plus, la boîte 8 comporte une cloison d'extrémité 12 située dans le compartiment 4 et présentant des rebords 12a maintenus par des vis 13 en appui sur la face la du tablier tournée du côté de ce compartiment , avec interpositon d'un joint d'étanchéité 14. The opening 9 has a shape complementary to the cross section of the box 8, so that the latter closes the opening. In addition, the box 8 has an end partition 12 located in the compartment 4 and having flanges 12a held by screws 13 bearing on the face of the deck turned towards the side of this compartment, with the interposition of a seal d sealing 14.

Cette face 12 comporte un trou de passage 15 pour les faisceaux de fils 11 respectivement reliés aux appareils 10 par des connecteurs 16 situés près d'un couvercle 17 de la boîte, accessible du côté de l'habitacle. L'étanchéité au droit du trou 15 est obtenue par exemple, la boîte 8 étant en matière plastique, par surmoulage de celle-ci sur le faisceau 11. This face 12 has a through hole 15 for the wire bundles 11 respectively connected to the devices 10 by connectors 16 located near a cover 17 of the box, accessible from the side of the passenger compartment. The seal to the right of the hole 15 is obtained for example, the box 8 being made of plastic, by overmolding of the latter on the bundle 11.

Deux faces opposées 18, 19 de la boîte sont munies chacune d'au moins une ouverture 20 permettant le passage d'air de ventilation V pour le refroidissement des appareils 10. Two opposite faces 18, 19 of the box are each provided with at least one opening 20 allowing the passage of ventilation air V for cooling the devices 10.

Le montage du dispositif est particulièrement aisé car les faisceaux 11 préalablement placés dans la boîte 8 sont, à l'extérieur du véhicule, branchés sur les appareils 10 contenus dans la boîte, au moyen des connecteurs 16, puis le couvercle 17 est mis en place, et la boîte ainsi équipée est ensuite engagée dans l'ouverture 9 du tablier du côté du compartiment moteur, jusqu'à mise en appui des rebords 12a sur la face la du tablier puis maitien grâce aux vis 13 bien accessibles. The mounting of the device is particularly easy because the bundles 11 previously placed in the box 8 are, outside the vehicle, connected to the devices 10 contained in the box, by means of the connectors 16, then the cover 17 is put in place. , and the box thus equipped is then engaged in the opening 9 of the bulkhead on the side of the engine compartment, until the flanges 12a are pressed against the face of the bulkhead and then held in place by screws 13 that are easily accessible.

Pour une intervention ultérieure éventuelle sur un des appareils 10, l'accès peut s'effectuer du côté de l'habitacle en retirant le couvercle 17.  For possible later intervention on one of the devices 10, access can be made from the side of the passenger compartment by removing the cover 17.
