Les dispositifs de réduction de bruits aérodynamiques des enseignements susmentionnés s’attachent à réduire par absorption les bruits aérodynamiques générés dans la cavité formée par la rainure entre les deux éléments de carrosserie adjacents. Ils ne permettent pas de réduire la génération ou production de ces bruits aérodynamiques.The aerodynamic noise reduction devices of the aforementioned teachings seek to reduce by absorption the aerodynamic noise generated in the cavity formed by the groove between the two adjacent bodywork elements. They do not make it possible to reduce the generation or production of these aerodynamic noises.
L’invention a pour objectif de pallier au moins un inconvénient de l’état de la technique susmentionné. Plus particulièrement, l’invention a pour objectif de réduire les bruits aérodynamiques générés dans la cavité formée par une rainure entre les deux éléments de carrosserie adjacentsThe aim of the invention is to overcome at least one drawback of the aforementioned state of the art. More particularly, the aim of the invention is to reduce the aerodynamic noise generated in the cavity formed by a groove between the two adjacent bodywork elements.
L’invention a pour objet une carrosserie de véhicule automobile, comprenant deux éléments de carrosserie adjacents formant, à leur adjacence, une rainure transversale à une direction principale d’écoulement d’air lorsque le véhicule automobile se déplace, les deux éléments de carrosserie adjacents comprenant un élément de carrosserie amont et un élément de carrosserie aval, ladite rainure étant délimitée, en amont, par un bord aval de l’élément de carrosserie amont et, en aval, par un bord amont de l’élément de carrosserie aval ; remarquable en ce que le bord aval de l’élément de carrosserie amont présente, dans l’étendue de l’élément de carrosserie amont, un profil en chevrons avec des pointes dirigées vers le bord amont de l’élément de carrosserie aval.The subject of the invention is a motor vehicle body, comprising two adjacent bodywork elements forming, adjacent to them, a groove transverse to a main direction of air flow when the motor vehicle is moving, the two adjacent bodywork elements comprising an upstream bodywork element and a downstream bodywork element, said groove being delimited, upstream, by a downstream edge of the upstream bodywork element and, downstream, by an upstream edge of the downstream bodywork element; remarkable in that the downstream edge of the upstream bodywork element has, in the extent of the upstream bodywork element, a herringbone profile with points directed towards the upstream edge of the downstream bodywork element.
Le bord aval de l’élément de carrosserie amont correspond au bord amont de la rainure. Similairement, le bord amont de l’élément de carrosserie aval correspond au bord aval de la rainure.The downstream edge of the upstream bodywork element corresponds to the upstream edge of the groove. Similarly, the upstream edge of the downstream bodywork element corresponds to the downstream edge of the groove.
Le bord aval de la rainure, c’est-à-dire le bord amont de l’élément de carrosserie aval est avantageusement généralement droit ou rectiligne. Il est entendu qu’il peut présenter une légère courbure, inhérente à la forme usuellement complexe de la carrosserie de véhicule automobile. La notion de profil droit ou rectiligne est ainsi à comprendre à l’échelle des chevrons du profil amont de la rainure, c’est-à-dire le bord aval de l’élément de carrosserie amont.The downstream edge of the groove, that is to say the upstream edge of the downstream bodywork element is advantageously generally straight or rectilinear. It is understood that it may have a slight curvature, inherent to the usually complex shape of the motor vehicle body. The notion of straight or rectilinear profile is thus to be understood at the scale of the rafters of the profile upstream of the groove, that is to say the downstream edge of the upstream bodywork element.
Selon un mode avantageux de l’invention, la rainure présente une largeur dans la direction principale d’écoulement d’air, le profil en chevron recouvrant au moins une partie de la largeur de la rainure.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the groove has a width in the main direction of air flow, the chevron profile covering at least part of the width of the groove.
La largeur de la rainure, dans la direction principale d’écoulement d’air, est avantageusement délimitée, en amont, par une paroi amont de la rainure adjacente à l’élément de carrosserie amont, et en aval, par le bord aval de la rainure, c’est-à-dire le bord amont de l’élément de carrosserie aval.The width of the groove, in the main direction of air flow, is advantageously delimited, upstream, by an upstream wall of the groove adjacent to the upstream bodywork element, and downstream, by the downstream edge of the groove, that is to say the upstream edge of the downstream bodywork element.
Selon un mode avantageux de l’invention, le recouvrement de la largeur de la rainure par le profil en chevron est supérieur ou égal à 1/3.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the overlap of the width of the groove by the chevron profile is greater than or equal to 1/3.
Selon un mode avantageux de l’invention, le recouvrement de la largeur de la rainure par le profil en chevron est supérieur ou égal à 1/2.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the overlap of the width of the groove by the chevron profile is greater than or equal to 1/2.
Selon un mode avantageux de l’invention, le recouvrement de la largeur de la rainure par le profil en chevron est supérieur ou égal à 3/4.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the overlap of the width of the groove by the chevron profile is greater than or equal to 3/4.
Selon un mode avantageux de l’invention, le profil en chevrons est formé intégralement avec l’élément de carrosserie amont.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the herringbone profile is formed integrally with the upstream bodywork element.
Selon un mode avantageux de l’invention, le profil en chevrons est formé sur un élément rapporté sur l’élément de carrosserie amont.According to an advantageous mode of the invention, the herringbone profile is formed on an element attached to the upstream bodywork element.
Selon un mode avantageux de l’invention, au moins un de l’élément de carrosserie amont et de l’élément de carrosserie aval est un ouvrant.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one of the upstream bodywork element and of the downstream bodywork element is an opening.
Selon un mode avantageux de l’invention, l’élément de carrosserie amont est un toit et l’élément de carrosserie aval est un volet arrière.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the upstream bodywork element is a roof and the downstream bodywork element is a rear flap.
L’invention a également pour objet un procédé de réduction de bruits aérodynamiques produits dans une rainure de carrosserie de véhicule automobile, ladite rainure étant transversale à une direction principale d’écoulement d’air lorsque le véhicule automobile se déplace, et délimitée, en amont, par un bord aval d’un élément de carrosserie amont et, en aval, par un bord amont d’un élément de carrosserie aval ; remarquable en ce que ledit procédé comprend de prévoir au bord aval de l’élément de carrosserie amont un profil en chevrons avec des pointes dirigées vers le bord amont de l’élément de carrosserie aval, la carrosserie de véhicule automobile étant selon l’invention.The invention also relates to a method for reducing aerodynamic noise produced in a groove in the bodywork of a motor vehicle, said groove being transverse to a main direction of air flow when the motor vehicle is moving, and delimited upstream , by a downstream edge of an upstream bodywork element and, downstream, by an upstream edge of a downstream bodywork element; remarkable in that said method comprises providing at the downstream edge of the upstream bodywork element a herringbone profile with points directed towards the upstream edge of the downstream bodywork element, the motor vehicle body being according to the invention.
Les mesures de l’invention sont avantageuses en ce qu’elles réduisent de manière notoire la production de bruits aérodynamiques dans les rainures de carrosserie de véhicules automobiles, et ce en particulier dans des plages de fréquence où l’oreille humaine est la plus sensible, en particulier entre 500 et 1000 Hz. De plus, les mesures de l’invention peuvent être facilement mises en œuvre, notamment en formant le profil en chevrons directement dans l’élément de carrosserie ou encore en rapportant sur l’élément de carrosserie un élément avec le profil en chevrons préalablement formé, notamment par moulage en matière plastique.The measures of the invention are advantageous in that they significantly reduce the production of aerodynamic noise in the body grooves of motor vehicles, and this in particular in frequency ranges where the human ear is most sensitive, in particular between 500 and 1000 Hz. In addition, the measures of the invention can be easily implemented, in particular by forming the herringbone profile directly in the bodywork element or even by attaching to the bodywork element an element with the herringbone profile previously formed, in particular by plastic molding.
Par rapport à l’état de la technique susmentionné, l’invention est avantageuse en ce qu’elle diminue la production des bruits aérodynamiques, signifiant qu’elle peut être combinée aux solutions de l’état de la technique consistant à absorber les bruits aérodynamiques produits.Compared to the aforementioned state of the art, the invention is advantageous in that it decreases the production of aerodynamic noise, meaning that it can be combined with the solutions of the state of the art consisting in absorbing aerodynamic noise products.
