Description

DISPOSITIF DE PROTECTION D'UN PIED D'UN CONDUCTEUR DE VEHICULE DEVICE FOR PROTECTING A FOOT OF A VEHICLE DRIVER

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif de protection d'un 5 pied d'un conducteur de véhicule. Le dispositif selon l'invention est destiné être disposé dans un espace, nommé cave à pied , adapté pour recevoir les pieds du conducteur, délimité vers l'avant par un tablier transversal d'orientation globale verticale. De façon connu, un pédalier est fixé sur ledit tablier. 10 Lors d'accidents de la route, par exemple en cas de choc frontal, certaines parties du corps du conducteur sont susceptibles d'être projetées violemment contre des éléments de l'habitacle du véhicule. A cet égard, les véhicules actuels intègrent classiquement des éléments de sécurité passive comme des coussins gonflables afin de protéger la tête et le thorax du 15 conducteur lors de projections contre le volant et/ou le tableau de bord. De la même façon, lors d'un choc frontal, les membres inférieurs du conducteur, en particulier les pieds, sont projetés vers l'avant et peuvent notamment heurter la colonne de direction, élément rigide, pouvant donc occasionner des blessures importantes. 20 Il est connu du document JP2004130975 d'utiliser comme système de protection une plaque de renfort amovible, reposant sur le plancher et sur le tablier du véhicule. La plaque de renfort amovible est munie de moyens d'encliquetage au tablier et d'un repose-pied. Lors d'un choc frontal, la plaque de renfort se libère des moyens d'encliquetage par un mouvement arrière et 25 protège le pied du conducteur lors d'une projection en avant de ses membres inférieurs. Toutefois, un tel système de protection ne permet pas de protéger le pied du conducteur contre les agressions dues à la colonne de direction. De plus, lors d'un choc frontal, la projection en avant conduit à une 30 position d'enfoncement maximal d'au moins une pédale par le conducteur. Or, ce système ne tient pas compte de l'interaction potentiellement dangereuse pour le pied du conducteur entre la pédale en position d'enfoncement maximal et la plaque de renfort se libérant des moyens d'encliquetage. L'invention a pour but de palier à ces différents inconvénients en 35 proposant un dispositif de protection efficace, permettant de protéger les pieds du conducteur notamment des blessures causées par la colonne de direction. The present invention relates to a device for protecting a foot of a vehicle driver. The device according to the invention is intended to be arranged in a space, called foot cell, adapted to receive the driver's feet, delimited forwardly by a transverse apron of global vertical orientation. In known manner, a crankset is fixed on said apron. In road accidents, for example in the event of a frontal impact, certain parts of the driver's body may be thrown violently against elements of the passenger compartment of the vehicle. In this regard, current vehicles conventionally incorporate passive safety elements such as airbags to protect the driver's head and thorax during projections against the steering wheel and / or the dashboard. In the same way, during a frontal impact, the lower limbs of the driver, especially the feet, are projected forward and can hit the steering column, rigid element, which can cause serious injuries. It is known from JP2004130975 to use as a protection system a removable reinforcing plate, resting on the floor and on the apron of the vehicle. The removable reinforcing plate is provided with latching means to the apron and a footrest. In a frontal impact, the reinforcement plate is released from the latching means by a rearward movement and protects the driver's foot during forward projection of its lower limbs. However, such a protection system does not protect the driver's foot against aggression due to the steering column. In addition, in a frontal impact, the forward projection leads to a maximum driving position of at least one pedal by the driver. However, this system does not take into account the potentially dangerous interaction for the driver's foot between the pedal in the maximum depression position and the reinforcement plate freeing ratchet means. The invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing an effective protection device, to protect the driver's feet including injuries caused by the steering column.

L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de protection d'un pied d'un conducteur de véhicule, destiné à être disposé dans un espace adapté pour recevoir ledit pied et délimité vers l'avant par un tablier transversal d'orientation globale verticale sur lequel est fixé un pédalier, caractérisé en ce qu'il s'étend, en position montée, sensiblement selon la direction verticale et possède une forme incurvée. Suivant des modes particuliers de réalisation de l'invention, le dispositif de protection comporte une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prise(s) isolément ou suivant toutes les combinaisons techniquement possibles : - le dispositif peut comporter une plaque de maintien sur laquelle est disposé un matériau amortissant ; - la plaque de maintien peut être en métal ou en matériau composite ; - la forme incurvée dudit dispositif peut être adaptée pour permettre, en cas de choc frontal, au pied entrant en contact avec ledit dispositif de glisser vers l'une des extrémités latérales dudit dispositif. L'invention concerne également un véhicule automobile comportant un tablier sur lequel est fixé un pédalier, caractérisé en qu'il comporte un dispositif de protection tel que décrit précédemment disposé, selon la direction longitudinale du véhicule, entre le tablier et le pédalier, et en ce que ledit dispositif possède une forme incurvée concave vers le tablier. Suivant des modes particuliers de réalisation de l'invention, le véhicule comporte une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prise(s) isolément ou suivant toutes les combinaisons techniquement possibles : - la plaque de maintien peut être disposée de façon à être orientée vers l'intérieur du véhicule et le matériau amortissant peut être disposé de façon à être orienté vers le compartiment moteur du véhicule ; - le dispositif de protection peut être disposé entre le pédalier et la 30 colonne de direction du véhicule, sensiblement face à la colonne de direction. Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux 35 dessins annexés, sur lesquels : la Fig. 1 est une vue en perspective d'un dispositif de protection, selon l'invention, destiné à protéger les pieds d'un conducteur en cas de choc frontal, disposé dans l'habitacle au niveau du pédalier du véhicule, - la Fig. 2 est une vue en coupe réalisée selon la ligne II-II de la figure 1, et - la Fig. 3 est une vue en perspective du dispositif de protection selon l'invention. The subject of the invention is therefore a device for protecting a foot of a vehicle driver, intended to be arranged in a space adapted to receive said foot and delimited towards the front by a transverse deck of global vertical orientation on which is fixed a pedal, characterized in that it extends, in the mounted position, substantially in the vertical direction and has a curved shape. According to particular embodiments of the invention, the protection device comprises one or more of the following characteristics, taken in isolation or in any technically possible combination: the device may comprise a holding plate on which is disposed a damping material; the holding plate may be made of metal or of composite material; the curved shape of said device may be adapted to allow, in the event of a frontal impact, the foot coming into contact with said device to slide towards one of the lateral ends of said device. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising an apron on which is fixed a pedal, characterized in that it comprises a protective device as described previously arranged, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, between the deck and the pedal, and said device has a concave curved shape towards the apron. According to particular embodiments of the invention, the vehicle comprises one or more of the following characteristics, taken separately or in any technically possible combination: the holding plate may be arranged so as to be oriented towards the the vehicle interior and the damping material may be arranged to be directed to the engine compartment of the vehicle; the protective device may be arranged between the crankset and the steering column of the vehicle, substantially facing the steering column. The features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description given by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a protection device, according to the invention, for protecting the feet of a driver in the event of a frontal impact, disposed in the passenger compartment at the pedal of the vehicle, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the protective device according to the invention.

Afin de simplifier la description qui va suivre, les Figures ont été orientées suivant le système d'axes X, Y, Z définissant l'orientation usuelle d'un véhicule automobile, et dans lequel : - l'axe X est l'axe longitudinal du véhicule, orienté d'arrière en avant ; - l'axe Y est l'axe transversal orienté de droite à gauche ; et - l'axe Z est l'axe vertical orienté du bas vers le haut. La figure 1 présente un habitacle 1 de véhicule automobile délimité inférieurement par un plancher horizontal 2. Un compartiment moteur, non représenté, s'étend à l'avant du véhicule et est séparé de l'habitacle 1 par un tablier 3 transversal d'orientation sensiblement verticale. In order to simplify the description which follows, the figures have been oriented according to the X, Y, Z axis system defining the usual orientation of a motor vehicle, and in which: the X axis is the longitudinal axis the vehicle, facing backwards and forwards; - the Y axis is the transverse axis oriented from right to left; and - the Z axis is the vertical axis oriented from bottom to top. FIG. 1 shows a passenger compartment 1 of a motor vehicle delimited below by a horizontal floor 2. An engine compartment, not shown, extends to the front of the vehicle and is separated from the passenger compartment 1 by a transverse orientation deck 3 substantially vertical.

De manière classique, l'habitacle 1 comporte une planche de bord, non représentée, comportant l'ensemble des instruments nécessaires à la conduite du véhicule, notamment le volant de direction. Un siège avant, non représenté, destiné à recevoir un occupant assis, par exemple le conducteur, est agencé sur le plancher 2. Le siège est orienté vers l'avant de façon que les pieds de l'occupant soient reçus dans un espace inférieur 4, ou cave à pied , qui est délimité vers l'avant par le tablier 3, vers le bas par le plancher 2, vers l'arrière par l'assise du siège, et vers le haut par la face inférieure de la planche de bord. Classiquement un pédalier 8 équipe l'espace inférieur 4, il comprend notamment une pédale de frein 5 et une pédale d'accélérateur 6, disposées, selon l'architecture du véhicule, sensiblement face à la colonne de direction 7. La pédale de frein 5 et la pédale d'accélérateur 6 sont respectivement montées mobiles entre une position de repos et une position 35 d'enfoncement maximal. Conventionally, the passenger compartment 1 comprises a dashboard, not shown, comprising all the instruments necessary for driving the vehicle, including the steering wheel. A front seat, not shown, intended to receive a seated occupant, for example the driver, is arranged on the floor 2. The seat is oriented forward so that the feet of the occupant are received in a lower space 4 , or cellar on foot, which is delimited forward by the apron 3, downwards by the floor 2, towards the rear by the seat, and upwards by the underside of the dashboard . Classically a pedal 8 equips the lower space 4, it includes a brake pedal 5 and an accelerator pedal 6, arranged, according to the vehicle architecture, substantially facing the steering column 7. The brake pedal 5 and the accelerator pedal 6 are respectively movably mounted between a rest position and a maximum driving position.

Selon l'invention, l'espace inférieur 4 est équipé d'un dispositif de protection 10 destiné à protéger les pieds d'un conducteur en cas de choc frontal. Ce dispositif 10 est disposé, selon la direction longitudinale du véhicule, entre le pédalier 8 et le tablier 3. Le dispositif est plus particulièrement disposé entre le pédalier 8 et la colonne de direction 7, sensiblement face à la colonne de direction 7. Le dispositif 10 comprend une plaque 11 de maintien, orientée vers l'intérieur du véhicule sur laquelle est fixée une mousse amortissante 12, 10 orientée vers le compartiment moteur. La plaque 11 est rigide. Elle peut être en métal, par exemple en acier ou en aluminium, ou en matériau composite. Elle est de faible épaisseur, par exemple son épaisseur peut être de 0,67 mm pour une plaque en acier. La mousse amortissante peut, par exemple, être en polypropylène 15 expansé, également appelé PPE ; mais tout autre matériau approprié possédant des propriétés amortissantes peut être utilisé. La mousse 12 peut, par exemple, être collée sur la plaque 11 qui lui sert de support. Le dispositif 10 s'étend, en position montée, selon la direction 20 verticale Z et possède une forme incurvée concave vers le tablier 3. Le dispositif 10 est fixé dans la cave à pied par tout moyen approprié connu de l'homme du métier, tel que des ensembles vis/écrou. Sur la figure 3, des orifices 13 situés, sur une patte pliée appartenant à la partie inférieure de la plaque 11 et permettant le passage de vis, sont représentés. 25 Bien entendu, d'autres pattes de fixation peuvent être rapportées selon le mode et les moyens de fixation envisagés. Lors d'un choc frontal, le pied du conducteur vient en contact avec le dispositif de protection 10, et grâce à la forme concave de ce dernier, glisse vers l'une de ses extrémités latérales. La mousse amortissante 12 permet 30 d'atténuer et de répartir les efforts subis par le pied. Le pied du conducteur évite ainsi tout contact direct avec la colonne de direction 7. Grace à la mousse amortissante 12 du dispositif selon l'invention, la progression de la colonne de direction 7 vers l'intérieur de l'habitacle est freinée. According to the invention, the lower space 4 is equipped with a protection device 10 intended to protect the feet of a driver in the event of a frontal impact. This device 10 is arranged, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, between the pedal 8 and the deck 3. The device is more particularly disposed between the pedal 8 and the steering column 7, substantially facing the steering column 7. The device 10 comprises a plate 11 for holding, facing the inside of the vehicle on which is fixed a damping foam 12, 10 oriented towards the engine compartment. The plate 11 is rigid. It may be metal, for example steel or aluminum, or composite material. It is thin, for example its thickness can be 0.67 mm for a steel plate. The cushioning foam may, for example, be expanded polypropylene, also called PPE; but any other suitable material having damping properties can be used. The foam 12 may, for example, be glued to the plate 11 which serves as a support. The device 10 extends, in the mounted position, in the vertical direction Z and has a concave curved shape towards the apron 3. The device 10 is fixed in the cellar by any suitable means known to those skilled in the art, such as screw / nut assemblies. In Figure 3, orifices 13, on a folded tab belonging to the lower part of the plate 11 and allowing the passage of screws, are shown. Of course, other fastening tabs may be reported according to the mode and the fastening means envisaged. In a frontal impact, the driver's foot comes into contact with the protection device 10, and thanks to the concave shape of the latter, slides towards one of its lateral ends. The damping foam 12 makes it possible to attenuate and distribute the forces experienced by the foot. The driver's foot thus avoids any direct contact with the steering column 7. Thanks to the damping foam 12 of the device according to the invention, the progression of the steering column 7 towards the interior of the passenger compartment is braked.

Ainsi, en cas de choc frontal, le dispositif de protection permet de diminuer les efforts sur le pied du conducteur et donc de diminuer les blessures de ce dernier. Bien entendu, l'exemple de réalisation évoqué ci-dessus ne présente aucun caractère limitatif, et d'autres détails et améliorations peuvent être apportés au dispositif selon l'invention, sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention où d'autres formes du dispositif peuvent être réalisées. 15 Thus, in the event of a frontal impact, the protective device makes it possible to reduce the forces on the driver's foot and thus to reduce the injuries of the latter. Of course, the exemplary embodiment mentioned above has no limiting character, and other details and improvements can be made to the device according to the invention, without departing from the scope of the invention where other forms of the device can be realized. 15
