Description

ORGANE MANUEL ESCAMOTABLE DE SELECTION DE RAPPORT DE VITESSERETRACTABLE MANUAL FOR SELECTING SPEED REPORT
DOMAINE DE L'INVENTIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention relève du domaine des véhicules automoteurs. En particulier, l'objet de l'invention concerne l'aménagement de la cabine de conduite d'un tel véhicule.The present invention relates to the field of self-propelled vehicles. In particular, the object of the invention relates to the arrangement of the driving cab of such a vehicle.
ETAT ANTÉRIEUR DE LA TECHNIQUEPRIOR STATE OF THE ART
Dans le domaine de l'aménagement de la cabine de conduite d'un véhicule automoteur, il est connu de prévoir un volume habitable suffisant pour le confort des utilisateurs du véhicule, conducteur ou passager. Ce volume habitable est défini par le volume permettant à un utilisateur placé à bord du véhicule de mouvoir ses membres sans rencontrer d'obstacle constitué par un élément du véhicule. Ce volume habitable revêt une importance qui est fonction de la durée d'occupation du véhicule par l'utilisateur et/ou du confort requis par cet utilisateur. En particulier, dans le cas de la cabine de conduite d'une cabine de camion poids lourd, ce volume habitable est très important, puisque son conducteur y séjourne non seulement pendant la période de conduite, mais également pendant les périodes de repos.In the field of the layout of the driving cab of a motor vehicle, it is known to provide a sufficient habitable volume for the comfort of the vehicle users, driver or passenger. This habitable volume is defined by the volume allowing a user placed on board the vehicle to move its members without encountering an obstacle constituted by an element of the vehicle. This living space is of importance depending on the duration of occupancy of the vehicle by the user and / or comfort required by this user. In particular, in the case of the driver's cab of a truck truck, this volume is very important, since its driver stays there not only during the driving period, but also during periods of rest.
Pour certains véhicules de l'art antérieur, un ou plusieurs éléments situés dans la cabine de conduite du véhicule sont montés de façon escamotable dans le but prévu d'augmenter provisoirement le volume utile de cet habitacle.For some vehicles of the prior art, one or more elements located in the cab of the vehicle are retractably mounted for the purpose intended to temporarily increase the useful volume of the passenger compartment.
Ainsi, lorsqu'il s'agit d'un élément non indispensable à la bonne marche du véhicule ou à la sécurité des utilisateurs, cet élément peut être monté de façon escamotable, c'est-à- dire qu'il est saillant dans la cabine de conduite lorsque l'utilisateur s'en sert, mais intégrable à un autre élément du véhicule dans le cas contraire. Il en est ainsi, par exemple, de Fallume-cigares, du cendrier ou de la porte de fermeture de la boîte à gants.Thus, when it is a non-essential element to the good operation of the vehicle or to the safety of users, this element can be retractably mounted, that is to say it is salient in the driving cabin when the user uses it, but can be integrated with another element of the vehicle in the opposite case. This is so, by example, Cigarettes, ashtrays or the glove box closing door.
En revanche, pour des raisons de sécurité, les éléments indispensables à la bonne marche du véhicule ou à la sécurité des utilisateurs sont généralement montés de façon non escamotable.On the other hand, for safety reasons, the elements essential to the smooth operation of the vehicle or to the safety of the users are generally mounted in a non-retractable manner.
Parfois, un tel élément peut être monté de façon escamotable limitativement aux phases d'arrêt du véhicule. Sur certains véhicules de l'art antérieur, il en est ainsi du levier de l'organe de commande manuelle de la boîte de vitesse. Pour être manipulable par le conducteur, ce levier comporte une zone de préhension formant une partie saillante. Lorsque le véhicule est à l'arrêt, le levier peut être rabattu sur la console ou dans un logement adéquat prévu dans la console de commande de la boîte de vitesse. La console sert de support au levier et elle loge les organes, mécaniques ou électriques, nécessaires à la transmission de la commande de sélection de rapport de vitesse. Lorsque le levier est rabattu dans ou sur la console, on évite que le conducteur ne soit gêné par le levier de vitesse lorsqu'il évolue à proximité, car le levier n'est plus proéminent.Sometimes, such an element can be retractably mounted limitatively to the stopping phases of the vehicle. On some vehicles of the prior art, so is the lever of the manual control member of the gearbox. To be manipulated by the driver, the lever comprises a gripping zone forming a protruding part. When the vehicle is stationary, the lever can be folded down on the console or in a suitable slot provided in the control console of the gearbox. The console serves as a support for the lever and houses the mechanical or electrical components necessary for the transmission of the speed ratio selection control. When the lever is folded in or on the console, it avoids the driver is embarrassed by the gear lever when moving nearby, because the lever is no longer prominent.
Cependant, compte tenu de ses organes de transmission de commande, la console est toujours montée fixe dans la cabine et elle y occupe ainsi un espace donné, en général sur le plancher du véhicule, ce qui peut constituer un obstacle à l'utilisateur qui souhaite étendre ses jambes, voire marcher, dans cet habitacle. En outre, la console et le levier comportent des éléments relativement fragiles, qu'il convient de ne pas heurter trop vigoureusement.However, in view of its control transmission members, the console is always fixedly mounted in the cabin and thus occupies a given space, usually on the floor of the vehicle, which can be an obstacle to the user who wishes extend your legs, even walk, in this cockpit. In addition, the console and the lever have relatively fragile elements, which should not hit too vigorously.
L'objectif de l'invention est d'éviter que la console ne constitue un obstacle aux utilisateurs dans la cabine.The object of the invention is to prevent the console is an obstacle to users in the cabin.
EXPOSE DE L'INVENTION L'invention concerne un organe manuel de sélection de rapport de boîte de vitesse comprenant un levier articulé par rapport à une console de manière à sélectionner différents rapports de vitesse. Selon l'invention, cet organe manuel est caractérisé en ce que sa console est escamotable par rapport à la planche de bord du véhicule lorsque ledit véhicule est à l'arrêt.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a manual gearshift selection member comprising a lever hinged relative to a console so as to select different gear ratios. According to the invention, this manual organ is characterized in that its console is retractable relative to the dashboard of the vehicle when said vehicle is stationary.
En d'autres termes, la console peut être escamotée de manière à être par exemple accolée à ou intégrée dans la planche de bord. Ainsi, la console munie du levier ne constitue plus un obstacle dans la cabine, car se trouvant intégrée à la planche de bord, et ne forme donc plus un élément proéminent. La planche de bord comprend essentiellement le tableau de bord et, par extension, la zone voisine du plancher de la cabine, ainsi que leurs éléments rapportés respectifs. On entend par arrêt du véhicule, un état dans lequel le véhicule ne se trouve pas intégré à un flux de circulation d'autres véhicules, soit lorsque les éléments indispensables à la bonne marche du véhicule ou à la sécurité des utilisateurs sont en position de repos. Le stationnement avec moteur du véhicule éteint constitue un exemple d'un tel état.In other words, the console can be retracted so as to be for example contiguous to or integrated into the dashboard. Thus, the console equipped with the lever is no longer an obstacle in the cabin because it is integrated into the dashboard, and no longer forms a prominent element. The dashboard essentially comprises the dashboard and, by extension, the area adjacent to the cabin floor, as well as their respective inserts. By stopping the vehicle, a state in which the vehicle is not integrated in a traffic flow of other vehicles, either when the elements necessary for the proper operation of the vehicle or the safety of users are in the rest position . Parking with the vehicle engine off is an example of such a condition.
Selon une forme particulière de réalisation de l'invention, l'organe comporte un moyen de blocage en position de la console lorsque ledit véhicule est en marche. En effet, pour garantir la sécurité des utilisateurs du véhicule et des tiers en présence, il est préférable d'empêcher l'escamotage de la console lorsque le véhicule est en marche, notamment lorsqu'il roule. Le blocage peut être assuré par un verrouillage mécanique par ergot, qui est mû ou maintenu par un moteur piloté électroniquement,. Le blocage peut aussi être assuré par tout autre moyen approprié.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the member comprises a locking means in position of the console when said vehicle is running. Indeed, to ensure the safety of the vehicle users and third parties, it is best to prevent the retraction of the console when the vehicle is running, especially when driving. The locking can be provided by a mechanical lock by pin, which is moved or maintained by an electronically controlled motor. Blocking may also be provided by any other appropriate means.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la console est intégrable en tout ou partie dans un logement ménagé dans la planche de bord dudit véhicule, lorsque ledit véhicule est à l'arrêt. Ainsi, le levier ne constitue plus un obstacle dans la cabine. Le logement de l'organe manuel peut faire partie intégrante du volume occupé par la planche de bord ou encore être défini par les limites externes de ce volume. Dans le premier cas, la console serait logée par exemple dans le tableau de bord, tandis que dans le second cas, elle serait logée par exemple sous le tableau de bord.According to another characteristic of the invention, the console is integrable in whole or part in a housing in the dashboard of said vehicle, when said vehicle is stopped. Thus, the lever is no longer an obstacle in the cabin. The housing of the manual organ can be an integral part of the volume occupied by the dashboard or be defined by the external limits of this volume. In the first case, the console would be housed for example in the dashboard, while in the second case, it would be housed for example under the dashboard.
Selon une forme particulière de réalisation de l'invention, la console comporte au moins une commande d'un autre organe du véhicule. En outre, cette commande est manœuvrable lorsque la console est escamotée. Ces commandes sont donc préférentiellement relatives à des fonctions pouvant être utilisées lorsque le véhicule est à l'arrêt.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the console comprises at least one control of another body of the vehicle. In addition, this control is manoeuvrable when the console is retracted. These commands are preferably related to functions that can be used when the vehicle is stopped.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le levier de l'organe manuel est rabattable par rapport à ladite console lorsque ledit véhicule est à l'arrêt. Ainsi, l'organe manuel occupe un volume plus facilement intégrable à la planche de bord.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lever of the manual member is foldable relative to said console when said vehicle is stopped. Thus, the manual organ occupies a more easily integrable volume to the dashboard.
Avantageusement en pratique, l'organe manuel comporte un moyen empêchant le levier d'être rabattu lorsque ledit véhicule est en marche. Cette caractéristique est préférable pour garantir la sécurité des utilisateurs du véhicule et des tiers en présence.Advantageously in practice, the manual member comprises a means preventing the lever from being folded when said vehicle is running. This feature is preferable to ensure the safety of the vehicle users and third parties.
Dans une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention, le levier est intégrable en tout ou partie dans un logement prévu à cet effet dans la console. Ainsi, le levier s'intègre et le volume nécessaire à l'intégration de l'organe manuel dans la planche de bord est moindre.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the lever is fully or partially integrable into a housing provided for this purpose in the console. Thus, the lever is integrated and the volume necessary for the integration of the manual organ in the dashboard is less.
Comme il ressort de cet exposé, un tel organe manuel de sélection de rapport de boîte de vitesse permet de supprimer certains obstacles dans la cabine d'un véhicule qui en est équipé, lorsque la cabine est utilisée pendant les périodes de repos.As emerges from this disclosure, such a manual transmission gear selector member makes it possible to eliminate certain obstacles in the cabin of a vehicle equipped with it, when the car is used during the rest periods.
L'invention apparaîtra plus clairement à la lumière de la description des modes de réalisation particuliers suivants, qui font référence aux figures. L'objet de l'invention ne se limite cependant pas à ces modes de réalisation particuliers et d'autres modes de réalisation de l'invention sont possibles.

MODES DE REALISATION DE L'INVENTIONEMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
La figure 1 représente la cabine de conduite d'un véhicule comprenant une planche de bord (1) comprenant essentiellement un tableau de bord (Ib) et, par extension, la zone voisine (la) du plancher de la cabine. Le poste de conduite est équipé d'un organe manuel (2) comprenant un levier saillant (2a) et une console (2b). La console loge les organes, mécaniques ou électriques, nécessaires à la transmission de la commande de sélection de rapport de vitesse. La console (2b) loge également des boutons de commandes d'autres organes du véhicule. Elle comporte en outre un logement videFigure 1 shows the driving cab of a vehicle comprising a dashboard (1) essentially comprising a dashboard (Ib) and, by extension, the adjacent area (la) of the floor of the cabin. The driving position is equipped with a manual member (2) comprising a projecting lever (2a) and a bracket (2b). The console houses the mechanical or electrical components necessary for the transmission of the speed ratio selection control. The console (2b) also houses control buttons of other organs of the vehicle. It also comprises an empty housing
(2c) destiné à recevoir le levier (2a), lorsque celui-ci est rabattu, comme illustré sur la figure 3b.(2c) for receiving the lever (2a), when the latter is folded down, as shown in Figure 3b.
Sur cette figure 1, l'organe manuel est déployé, c'est-à-dire qu'il n'est pas en position escamotée, comme c'est notamment le cas lorsque le véhicule est en marche. Comme il ressort clairement de la figure 1, l'organe manuel, lorsqu'il n'est pas escamoté, peut constituer un obstacle à la mobilité des membres de l'utilisateur.In this Figure 1, the manual member is deployed, that is to say, it is not in the retracted position, as is particularly the case when the vehicle is running. As is clear from Figure 1, the manual organ, when not retracted, can be an obstacle to the mobility of the user's members.
La figure 2 représente une cabine de conduite similaire à celle de la figure 1. Toutefois, la console (2b) de l'organe manuel (2) est escamotée et intégrée dans un logement approprié (Ic) de la planche de bord (1), en l'occurrence, au tableau de bord (Ib). Dans cette position, l'organe manuel ne constitue plus un obstacle, puisqu'il ne présente plus de partie saillante dans le volume habitable. En outre, les boutons de commandes d'autres organes (2i) demeurent accessibles.FIG. 2 represents a driving cabin similar to that of FIG. 1. However, the console (2b) of the manual organ (2) is retracted and integrated into a suitable housing (Ic) of the dashboard (1). , in this case, on the scoreboard (Ib). In this position, the manual organ is no longer an obstacle, since it no longer has a salient part in the living space. In addition, the control buttons of other organs (2i) remain accessible.
Les figures 3a et 3b illustrent l'escamotage de l'organe manuel (2) avec rabattement du levier (2a). L'organe manuel (2) est représenté dans la position escamotée sur la figure 3b et dans la position sortie sur la figure 3a. L'escamotage est réalisé par une simple translation de la console (2b). En effet, conformément à l'invention, la console (2b) est montée sur une glissière non-représentée. La console (2b) coulisse par rapport à la planche de bord. Lorsque la console (2b) est escamotée comme sur la figure 3b ou sur la figure 2, elle est quasi-totalement intégrée dans le logement (Ic) et elle ne constitue donc plus un obstacle dans le volume habitable de la cabine. L'escamotage n'est réalisé que lors des phases d'arrêt du véhicule.Figures 3a and 3b illustrate the retraction of the manual member (2) with folding the lever (2a). The manual member (2) is shown in the retracted position in Figure 3b and in the extended position in Figure 3a. The retraction is achieved by a simple translation of the console (2b). Indeed, according to the invention, the console (2b) is mounted on a slide not shown. The console (2b) slides relative to the dashboard. When the console (2b) is retracted as in Figure 3b or Figure 2, it is almost completely integrated into the housing (Ic) and it is no longer an obstacle in the living space of the cabin. The retraction is only performed during the stopping phases of the vehicle.
La figure 3b illustre en outre le rabattement du levier (2a) dans un logement (2c) ménagé à cet effet dans la console (2b). Sur la figure 3a le levier (2a) est sorti, tandis qu'il est rabattu et intégré au logement (2c) sur la figure 3b. Le rabattement est opéré manuellement par pivotement du levier (2a) autour de l'axe (2d). Lorsque le levier (2a) est rabattu dans son logement (2c), la console (2a) peut être insérée plus profondément dans le logement (Ic) que lorsqu'il n'est pas rabattu.Figure 3b further illustrates the folding of the lever (2a) in a housing (2c) provided for this purpose in the bracket (2b). In Figure 3a the lever (2a) is out while it is folded and integrated housing (2c) in Figure 3b. The folding is operated manually by pivoting the lever (2a) about the axis (2d). When the lever (2a) is folded in its housing (2c), the console (2a) can be inserted deeper into the housing (Ic) that when not folded.
Enfin, on peut observer sur la figure 4 la présence de boutons de commandes manuelles diverses (2e, 2f, 2g, 2h, 2i) montés sur la console (2b). Conformément à une forme avantageuse de réalisation de l'invention, ces boutons sont accessibles et leurs commandes manœuvrables lorsque la console (2b) et/ou le levier (2a) sont intégrés dans le logement (Ic) de la planche de bord (1) Finally, it can be seen in Figure 4 the presence of various manual control buttons (2e, 2f, 2g, 2h, 2i) mounted on the console (2b). According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, these buttons are accessible and their controls maneuverable when the console (2b) and / or the lever (2a) are integrated in the housing (Ic) of the dashboard (1)
