Description

Vehicle door comprising a device for preventing the opening of the door in the event of a crash

Technical Field

The invention relates to a vehicle door comprising means for blocking the actuation of an external opening control in the event of a crash. The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising such a door.

Background

Vehicles, in particular motor vehicles, of the prior art are often equipped, in particular on each side door, with an external opening control for the door, for example of the handle type, for controlling the lock. The external opening controls are typically disposed on an external panel of the associated door. The lock is typically disposed on an interior panel of the associated door. The action on the external opening control usually causes, through a cable or link-type motion transmission system, the movement of an element of the door lock, the effect of which is to release the lock and thus open the door.

However, in the event of a collision (particularly a side collision on the side door), the outer panel of the door deforms toward the vehicle interior. The pressing of the outer panel toward the inner panel causes the outer opening control to move toward the lock. The result may be that the lock is opened undesirably, especially in the case of a link-based motion transmission system. Once the door lock is opened, the door may be opened even without deliberate manipulation of the external opening control. Such undesired door opening is dangerous and conflicts with regulatory requirements. In fact, it is desirable that the door deformed by the collision remains closed to ensure its function of protecting the vehicle occupants.

Detailed Description

The direction of linear movement of the motor vehicle is defined as the longitudinal direction X. By convention, the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and lying in a plane parallel to the ground is referred to as the transverse direction Y. The third direction perpendicular to the other two directions is referred to as the vertical direction Z. Thus, direct reference to XYZ is used, where X is the longitudinal direction in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle (i.e., pointing rearward), Y is the lateral direction pointing to the right, and Z is the vertical direction pointing upward. The forward direction corresponds to the direction in which the motor vehicle is normally moving in the longitudinal direction and opposite to the rearward direction.

A vehicle, such as a motor vehicle 1, according to an embodiment of the invention is schematically illustrated in fig. 1. The motor vehicle 1 includes a left front side door 10. The motor vehicle 1 may comprise a left front side door and/or a right front side door. The motor vehicle 1 may also comprise, for example, one or more left rear doors and/or one or more right rear doors (not shown). Although the following description refers to a left front door 10, another door, preferably a side door, may be provided in the same manner. It is noted that non-side front doors (e.g. the front trunk door of a vehicle equipped with e.g. a rear engine) and/or non-side rear doors (e.g. rear trunk doors) may also be so equipped, especially if these doors comprise a system for transferring motion between external opening controls and locks. The present invention may also relate to any door that may allow an occupant seated in the passenger compartment to exit.

As illustrated in fig. 1, door 10 includes a lock 20 and an external opening control 30. The external opening control 30 is, for example, a handle. Door 10 also includes a system 40 for transferring motion between external opening control 30 and lock 20. This transmission system 40 is for example of the link type, i.e. comprises at least one link connecting the external opening control 30 to the lock 20. Due to this transmission system 40, manipulation of the external opening control 30 causes opening of the lock 20. Once the lock 20 is opened, the door 10 is opened or may be opened without resistance or substantially without resistance. For example, the manipulation or action of the external open control includes or is pulling the external open control 30 toward the exterior of the vehicle.

Preferably, as illustrated in fig. 2, the external opening control 30 comprises a handling element 31 of the grip element type, and a movement transmission element 32 of the lever or return type. The grip element 31 and the lever 32 have a form-fitting connection and pivot about an axis a. The manipulation of the external opening control 30 to open the lock 20 is preferably performed by pulling the grip element 31 outwards (arrow T) so as to pivot it in the direction S about the axis a. A return means, for example of the spring type, is preferably provided in order to produce a rotation or pivoting in the direction opposite to direction S and to return the external opening control to its initial position at the end of the pulling of the pivoted handle element 31. Preferably, in the case of the side door 10, the axis a extends longitudinally or substantially longitudinally when the door is in the closed position. The door also includes an exterior panel 11, and an interior panel or door box 12. Preferably, the lock 20 is at least partially secured to the inner panel 12. Again preferably, the external opening control 30 is at least partially fixed to the external panel 11, for example by a plate. Door 10 also includes means 50 for preventing manipulation of external opening control 30. It should be noted that the blocking device 50 is fixed relative to the door 10 during the manipulation of the external opening control 30. As shown in fig. 3, in the event of a collision F on the exterior panel 11, the blocking device 50 protrudes to prevent pivoting of the pivot lever 32. In the case of the side door 10, a side impact F or a lateral impact of the vehicle at the level of the outer panel 11 of the door 10 hinders the pivoting of the pivot lever 32, as will be explained below.

Advantageously, the door 10 also comprises means 60 for receiving or fixing or holding the blocking means 50. Preferably, such means 60 for receiving the blocking means 50 are arranged between the outer panel 11 and the inner panel 12. The term "disposed between …" means that the receiving device is neither an interior panel nor an exterior panel. Thus, the receiving means are strictly comprised between the outer panel 11 and the inner panel 12.

As shown in fig. 2, the door 10 also includes a window guide 70. Thus, according to the first embodiment, the window guide 70 comprises means 60 for receiving the blocking means 50. The receiving means 60 may then be or comprise a first interface 71 on the window guide 70 for receiving the blocking means 50. Alternatively or additionally, the receiving device 60 may be or comprise a first element 72 for fixing the blocking device 50 on the window guide 70. The first fixing elements 72 comprise, for example, one or more studs fixed into the window guide 70 and associated with nuts that sandwich the blocking device 50 between them. For example, each nut is positioned at the bottom of a recess provided for this purpose in the blocking device 50.

Conversely or additionally, the first fixing element 72 comprises, for example, one or more studs fixed into the blocking device 50 and associated with nuts that sandwich the window guide 70 between them. For example, each nut is positioned at the bottom of a recess provided for this purpose in the window guide 70.

Advantageously, according to the first embodiment, the window guide 70 comprises the blocking means 50. For example, the window guide then comprises the receiving means 60 and the blocking means 50. In this case, the receiving means 60 and/or the blocking means 50 are preferably made in one piece with the window guide 70. The production method is, for example, molding. Thus, the window guide 70, the receiving means 60 and the blocking means 50 are one piece. For example, the material used is a plastic, such as polypropylene.

Preferably, the window guide 70 is fixed to the inner panel 12 of the door 10.

According to a second embodiment, illustrated in particular in fig. 4, the lock 20 comprises means 60 for receiving the blocking means 50. Alternatively, only a portion 21 of the lock 20 receives and/or holds and/or secures the blocking device 50. For example, the second interface 22 on the lock 20 and/or the second element 23 for securing the blocking means 50 participate in securing the blocking means 50 on the lock 20.

The second fixing elements 23 comprise, for example, one or more studs fixed in the lock 20 and associated with nuts that sandwich the blocking device 50 between them. For example, each nut is positioned at the bottom of a recess provided for this purpose in the blocking device 50.

Instead or additionally, the second fixing elements 23 comprise, for example, one or more studs fixed in the blocking means 50 and associated with nuts that sandwich the lock 20 between them. For example, each nut is positioned at the bottom of a recess provided for this purpose in the lock 20.

Preferably, the blocking means 50 are wedges or blocks 51, 51', 51 ". Advantageously, as illustrated in particular in fig. 5 to 11, the wedge comprises a

concave portion

52, 52', 52 ″ intended to come into contact with the pivoting lever 32 in the event of a collision F. In fact, as shown in fig. 3, after the impact F deforms the external panel or wall 11, the external opening control 30, and in particular the lever 32 thereof, moves close to the internal panel 12. More precisely, the lever 32 has already hit the wedge, which prevents the lever from pivoting in the direction S during and/or after the collision.

Advantageously, the recessed portion is toothed and/or notched, as illustrated in fig. 6 to 11.

Advantageously, as illustrated in fig. 6 to 11, the pivoting lever 32 comprises a projecting portion 321. Preferably, the projection 321 is toothed and/or notched.

For example, as illustrated in fig. 8, in a first variant, the projecting portion 321 of the pivoting lever 32 has a first curvature 33. For example, concave portion 52 'of wedge 51' has a second curvature 53. Preferably, the first curvature 33 is at least partially engageable in the second curvature 53.

For example, the center of the first curvature 33 is located or approximately located on the pivot axis a of the lever 32. For example, when the door 10 is not retracted or impacted by the force F, the center of the second curvature 53 is located at or approximately on the pivot axis a of the lever 32. For example, the radius value of the first curvature 33 is smaller than the radius value of the second curvature 53.

The first curvature 33 and the second curvature 53 may have the same or substantially the same radius value and center, which are uniform or substantially uniform when the door 10 is not retracted or impacted.

In the case where the side door 10 extends in the longitudinal direction or substantially the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 1 in the closed position, the recessed portion of the wedge extends over a thickness E that is, for example, greater than the thickness of the pivot lever 32 in the longitudinal direction or substantially the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, as illustrated in fig. 1. Preferably, the recessed form 52 then extends longitudinally on either side of the lever 32, for example over a distance of about mm on each side, relative to the overall longitudinal dimension of the pivoting lever 32.

The projecting portion of the pivoting lever 32 then extends, for example, in the longitudinal direction or substantially in the longitudinal direction over this thickness value E or substantially over this thickness value. Alternatively, the projecting portion 321 extends over a value that is less than or greater than this value E.

In summary, according to the first embodiment, the door 10 includes a window guide 70 that prevents the door from opening during an impact or accident. In the event of a side impact F on the door 10, the external opening control 30 placed on the outside moves close to the lock 20 during the phase in which the door 10 is squeezed. Such a squeezing does not cause a sudden and undesired opening of the lock 20 due to the wedge arranged on the window guide 70, since the external opening control (or more precisely its pivoting lever 32) is prevented from pivoting by the wedge. In fact, as the outer panel 11 moves closer to the inner panel 12, the male part of the pivoting lever comes into contact with the female part of the wedge. Therefore, even in the case of the link-based transmission system 40, the lock 20 of the collided door is not opened and the door 10 remains closed after the collision.

Note that the wedges are typically compressed during a collision.

In both the first and second embodiments, the wedges may transmit this compression to the chest or interior panel 12 of the door.

In fact, in the first embodiment, the wedge fixed to the window guide may be arranged at the height of the lock and at a small distance from the lock in its transverse direction, so that the wedge can rest on the lock 20 in the event of a collision. Since the lock is fixed to the inner panel 12, the inner panel 12 then reinforces the outer panel 11 and limits deformation of the outer panel 11 during a collision. For example, as illustrated in fig. 2, the wedge is arranged with a play J in the transverse direction with respect to the lock. The play J is reduced to avoid any inertia.

In the second embodiment the wedge is at least partly fixed to the lock 20 or a part 21 of the lock. Since the lock is fixed to the inner panel 12, the inner panel 12 then reinforces the outer panel 11 and limits deformation of the outer panel 11 during a collision.

In other words, the blocking means blocks the sudden movement of the external opening control 30 by fixing its pivoting lever 32 in the event of a crash. In fact, the pivoting lever 32 is in contact with the wedge against which the external opening control is pressed during the impact.

Typically, the distance D shown in FIG. 8 between the convex portion of the lever and the concave portion of the wedge is between 3mm and 9mm, preferably on the order of 6 mm. Thus, in the embodiment shown in fig. 6 and 7 and in the second variant illustrated in fig. 10 and 11, the movement of the external opening control in the transverse or substantially transverse direction towards the lock (the value of the movement being at least equal to the value of the distance D) causes contact between the

teeth

54, 54 "and the

wedges

51, 51". The wedge here extends over the entire height of the projecting portion 321 of the pivoting lever. Thus, if movement of the external opening control towards the lock occurs without any pivoting of the lever 32, the concave portion of the wedge contacts the convex portion of the lever and prevents any subsequent pivoting.

In the first variation illustrated in fig. 8 and 9, the convex portion 321 extends above the concave portion in the vertical direction when the external opening control is not operated and the door is not hit. Thus, if the movement of the external opening control towards the lock occurs without any pivoting of the lever 32, the concave portion of the wedge will not come into contact with the convex portion of the lever, as the convex portion then moves over the wedge. Note that the result is still that pivoting of the lever is prevented, because the projection 35 provided on the lever stops against the ramp 55' provided above the recessed portion, as illustrated in fig. 8.

Note that pivoting of the pivot lever which causes the fixing point 36 of the link to travel down to the height NO causes the lock to be opened and thus the door to open. For example, the distance in the vertical direction between the fixed point 36 (or height NF) in the stationary state in which the door is closed and not subject to a collision and the fixed point 36 (or height NO) when the door is allowed to open is between 9mm and 11 mm. These high levels of NO and NF are shown in fig. 8. Naturally, in the presence of a reverse drive system, the action and blocking of the pivoting lever occurs in the opposite direction.

In summary, the volume of the wedge 51 is advantageously integrated in the portion close to the pivot lever 32 (i.e. the window guide 70 and/or the lock 20). As mentioned above, in the event of a collision, the compressive stress applied to wedge 51 is preferably at least partially transferred to lock 20. The fixing of the window guide (e.g. on the inner panel 12) is not or only slightly stressed during such compression.

Advantageously, as illustrated in fig. 5, the window guide 70 comprises one, two or more legs 73 arranged to straddle the lock 20.

Legs 73 allow riding the lock, as preferably not fixed to the lock. Indeed, locks are standard components for various types of vehicles. In contrast, window guides are components that are unique to each vehicle, so modifications to accommodate a particular function do not affect other vehicles. The legs allow the wedge to be positioned in the correct position. Preferably, the legs 73 are not subjected to any stress tending to release the lock being squeezed at the time of impact.

Preferably, the space or play J between the blocking device 50 (in particular the wedge of the window guide 70) and the lock is compensated to reduce or eliminate any vibrations and vibration noise. For example, a damping element (in particular foam) is arranged between the blocking device and the lock.

However, a very reduced play between the wedge area and the lock may be provided.

As illustrated in fig. 6, 7 and 10, 11, the

wedges

51, 51 "have a shape or concave portion in the form of a curved ramp intended to easily interfere with the pivoting of the lever 32 in the event that the lever moves close to the inner panel 12.

Alternatively, as illustrated in fig. 8 and 9, in a first variant, the volume of wedge 51' may be substantially equal to half the volume of wedge 51, and may have a substantially "ski" form. In this case, when the door is not hit and the external opening control is not operated for opening (the pivoting lever 32 is in the rest position), a distance B is set in the vertical direction between the bottom 32B of the male portion 321 and the top 52'B of the female portion 52' of the wedge. This distance B (as shown in fig. 9) is, for example, between 3mm and 7mm, e.g., 5 mm. Thus, the angular position of the wedge 52' relative to the stationary pivoting lever is carefully arranged.

As mentioned above, the small teeth 54, 54', i.e. the height H, are advantageously provided on the concave portions 52, 52', for example between 0.3mm and 1mm (the embodiment of fig. 6 and 7 and the first variant illustrated in fig. 8 and 9). For example, the teeth are arranged alongside one another, for example in the manner of a pinion. The cross-sectional shape of each tooth in the vertical and lateral planes is, for example, triangular or substantially the same as the shape of a pinion tooth.

The large teeth 54", i.e. the height H", is advantageously arranged on the concave portion 52 "between 1mm and 3mm (second variant illustrated in figures 10 and 11). The teeth 54 "are spaced apart, for example, by a space e. The cross-sectional shape of each tooth 54 "in the vertical and lateral planes is, for example, square or rectangular. The spaces e between the teeth extend radially, for example, over an angle a2 that is greater than the angle a1 (as illustrated in fig. 11) by which each tooth extends radially.

For example, the pivoting lever may include a catch or tooth that is engageable between the

teeth

54, 54', 54 "to limit or avoid any sliding between the wedge and the lever during the blocking of pivoting.

As mentioned above, in the second embodiment, the component receiving the blocking means is a lock. In this case, the modifications associated with this new functionality of the lock are compatible with the installation limitations of the lock.

As mentioned above, for example, a wedge or wedge area is arranged on the window guide. The window guide may then (or may not) include a preliminary interface or interface for receiving the wedge, particularly to aid in the production and/or installation/assembly process.

Even if at least one link of the transmission system 40 is affected by a collision and tends to open the lock, the pivoting lever is held and retains the link so that the lock does not open.

The wedge 51 may be pre-installed, for example, on the lock and/or window guide 70, and thus easily installed in the door. In fact, the fixing points for the wedges can be provided on the inner panel 12 or on the outer panel 11, for example on a metal sheet. In this case, the mounting wedges do not require the mounting of screws in visible and/or overly complex areas and/or inaccessible areas of the door. If the wedge is made in one piece with the window guide, no screws for fixing the wedge need to be provided and mounted resulting in time saving and cost reduction. The wedges can be assembled directly on the window guides by screwing, using an interface for fixing the window guides to the box, which advantageously avoids creating other apertures directly through the box 12.

It is also easy to position the wedge inside the door, since it is integrated and/or fixed to and/or mounted on a component having another function. This also allows avoiding the step of fixing the wedges to the body of the door (for example the inner panel), which can be complicated.

Thus, in the event of a collision F, the convex portion 321 of the pivoting lever 32 is in contact with the concave portion 52, i.e. complementary or substantially complementary to the wedge 51. Due to the teeth and/or catches, which increase the adhesion and thus the stopping capacity, the pivoting lever 32 is prevented from pivoting in the direction S. The transmission system 40 is then unable to transmit motion to the lock 20. The lock 20 is then locked closed, in particular against the external opening control 30. After the side collision F, the door 10 remains closed and protects the occupant of the vehicle 1.

Note that this solution achieves the desired aim of stopping the pivoting of the lever of the external opening control after a collision, and has the following advantages:

it saves time during the assembly of the door, in particular by mounting the wedges on the lock and/or window guide in hidden time, where applicable;

it can be applied to all types of motor vehicles, regardless of the mileage;

it may be applied to other vehicles or vehicles that can be equipped with at least one door that comprises a system for transmitting motion between an external opening control and a lock and that may potentially be subject to a collision on the door.
