Description

La présente invention est relative aux lève-vitres pour véhicules automobiles.The present invention relates to window regulators for motor vehicles.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un lève-vitre à commande électrique à l'aide duquel un occupant d'un véhicule peut actionner la vitre de la portière au moyen d'un bouton de commande placé par exemple sur une console se trouvant entre les deux sièges avant.More particularly, the invention relates to an electrically operated window regulator with the aid of which an occupant of a vehicle can actuate the window of the door by means of a control button placed for example on a console located between the two front seats.

De tels lève-vitres sont déjà connus. Ils comportent en général un circuit de commande électronique de la position de la vitre qui coopère avec un dispositif détecteur de la position de celle-ci, détecteur qui lui fournit un signal électrique de position. Ce signal peut représenter une seule position de la vitre ou être une image d'une position quelconque de celle-ci au cours de sa course d'ouverture ou de fermeture. Sur le plan mécanique, un tel lève-vitre comporte un rail de guidage qui est destiné à être monté à peu près verticalement dans la portière. Sur ce rail, peut coulisser un chariot qui est connecté à la vitre et qui est entraîné par un dispositif moteur électrique, de telle sorte que la vitre puisse occuper une position quelconque sous la commande du circuit électronique. Jusqu'ici, les composants du lève-vitre tels que l'unité d'entraînement, le circuit de commande, le mécanisme du rail de guidage et du chariot sont fabriqués sous forme d'unités indépendantes, le circuit de commande étant en outre, le plus souvent, monté près du bouton de commande dans l'habitacle.Such window regulators are already known. They generally comprise an electronic control circuit for the position of the window which cooperates with a device for detecting the position of the latter, a detector which supplies it with an electrical position signal. This signal can represent a single position of the window or be an image of any position thereof during its opening or closing travel. Mechanically, such a window regulator comprises a guide rail which is intended to be mounted approximately vertically in the door. On this rail, can slide a carriage which is connected to the glass and which is driven by an electric motor device, so that the glass can occupy any position under the control of the electronic circuit. Until now, the components of the window regulator such as the drive unit, the control circuit, the mechanism of the guide rail and of the carriage are produced in the form of independent units, the control circuit being furthermore, most often mounted near the control button in the passenger compartment.

Il en résulte que le montage du lève-vitre demande une main-d'oeuvre assez importante, car, chaque composant individuel doit être monté séparément dans la portière ou dans l'habitacle, tandis qu'un faisceau composé de conducteurs en nombre relativement grand doit être prévu entre la portière et le circuit de commande.As a result, the installation of the window regulator requires a fairly large workforce, because each individual component must be mounted separately in the door or in the passenger compartment, while a bundle composed of conductors in relatively large numbers must be provided between the door and the control circuit.

Enfin, le détecteur de position étant placé près de la vitre dans la portière, il faut prévoir un faisceau reliant ce détecteur de position au circuit de commande.Finally, the position detector being placed near the window in the door, a beam must be provided connecting this position detector to the control circuit.

L'invention a pour but de fournir un lève-vitre dont le montage est commode et qui nécessite un minimum de conducteurs électriques.The object of the invention is to provide a window regulator, the mounting is convenient and requires a minimum of electrical conductors.

L'invention a donc pour objet un lève-vitre pour portière de véhicule automobile comprenant un circuit de commande électronique de la position de la vitre, raccordé à un organe de commande de position placé dans l'habitacle du véhicule, ce circuit de commande coopérant avec un dispositif détecteur de la position de la vitre qui lui fournit un signal électrique de position, lève-vitre dans lequel en outre, un rail de guidage destiné à être monté à peu près verticalement dans la portière coopère avec un chariot qui coulisse sur ce rail et qui est connecté rigidement à la vitre tout en étant accouplé à un dispositif moteur électrique capable de provoquer le coulissement du chariot le long du rail sous la commande du circuit électronique, ce lève-vitre étant caractérisé en ce que ledit circuit électronique de commande est monté dans un boîtier qui forme une unité monobloc avec ledit dispositif moteur et en ce que le détecteur de position est assemblé avec le rail de guidage.The subject of the invention is therefore a window regulator for the door of a motor vehicle comprising an electronic control circuit for the position of the window, connected to a position control member placed in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, this cooperating control circuit with a device for detecting the position of the window which supplies it with an electrical position signal, window lifter in which, in addition, a guide rail intended to be mounted approximately vertically in the door cooperates with a carriage which slides on this rail and which is rigidly connected to the window while being coupled to an electric motor device capable of causing the carriage to slide along the rail under the control of the electronic circuit, this window lifter being characterized in that said electronic control circuit is mounted in a housing which forms a monobloc unit with said motor device and in that the position detector is assembled with the guide rail.

Grâce à ces caractéristiques, on obtient un ensemble unitaire du lève-vitre pouvant être monté dans la portière à l'aide de quelques dispositifs de fixation, tels que des vis. Comme conducteurs électriques menant à l'habitacle du véhicule, il suffit de disposer d'un faisceau amenant au lève-vitre, la tension d'alimentation et les signaux issus du bouton de commande qui est en général un commutateur à deux positions, ce qui revient à un faisceau de cinq conducteurs seulement. En outre, ces caractéristiques présentent l'avantage de permettre un réglage mécanique des diverses parties du lève-vitre en dehors de la portière ce qui facilite encore la mise en place.Thanks to these characteristics, a unitary assembly of the window lifter can be obtained which can be mounted in the door using a few fixing devices, such as screws. As electrical conductors leading to the passenger compartment of the vehicle, it suffices to have a harness bringing to the window regulator, the supply voltage and the signals coming from the control button which is generally a two-position switch, which returns to a bundle of only five conductors. In addition, these characteristics have the advantage of allowing mechanical adjustment of the various parts of the window regulator outside the door, which further facilitates installation.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en référence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • - la Fig.l est une vue en élévation schématique d'un lève-vitre suivant l'invention, les parties constituantes de ce lève-vitre étant représentées dans la position qu'elles occupent dans une portière de véhicule;
  • - la Fig.2 est un schéma de câblage de lève-vitre suivant la Fig.l;
  • - la Fig.3 représente une variante de détecteur de position du lève-vitre; et
  • - la Fig.4 représente une autre variante de détecteur de position.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • - Fig.l is a schematic elevational view of a window regulator according to the invention, the constituent parts of this window regulators being shown in the position they occupy in a vehicle door;
  • - Fig.2 is a window regulator wiring diagram according to Fig.l;
  • - Fig.3 shows a variant of the window regulator position detector; and
  • - Fig.4 shows another variant of position detector.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les Fig. 1 et 2, il s'agit à titre d'exemple d'un lève-vitre à entraînememt par câble. Toutefois, l'invention n'est pas limitée à ce mode particulier d'entraînement mécanique. En outre, l'invention s'applique également à divers types de commandes électroniques de lève-witres et notamment à ceux utilisant la commande classique dans laquelle la vitre peut se déplacer à une seule vitesse sous l'action du bouton de commande, le déplacement étant poursuivi tant que l'utilisateur enfonce ce bouton de commande, ou encore à ceux plus complexes dans lesquelles le circuit de commande permet un entraînement à deux vitesses du moteur.Dans ce cas, on peut envisager une commande par potentiomètre associé à un potentiomètne de recopie de la vitre ou une commande dite séquentielle dans laquelle la durée d'actionnement du bouton détermine la vitesse de mouvement de la vitre. On trouve des descriptions de circuits électroniques de commande pour de tels lève-vitres dans les FR.2 460 383 du 28 Juin 1979 , 2 484 168 du 5 Juin 1980 et 81 01 793 du 30 Janvier 1981, tous déposés au nom de la Demanderesse.In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 and 2, this is, for example, a window lifter with cable drive. However, the invention is not limited to this particular mode of mechanical drive. In addition, the invention also applies to various types of electronic window lift controls and in particular to those using the conventional control in which the window can move at a single speed under the action of the control button, the movement being continued as long as the user presses this control button, or even those more complex in which the control circuit allows a drive at two speeds of the motor. In this case, it is possible to envisage a control by potentiometer associated with a potentiometer. copy of the window or a so-called sequential command in which the duration of actuation of the button determines the speed of movement of the window. Descriptions of electronic control circuits for such window regulators can be found in FRs 2 460 383 of June 28, 1979, 2 484 168 of June 5, 1980 and 81 01 793 of January 30, 1981, all filed in the name of the Applicant .

Ceci étant, la Fig.l, représente schématiquement le châssis C d'une portière de véhicule automobile dans lequel est monté un dispositif moteur 1 comprenant un moteur électrique 2 pourvu d'un réducteur 3 qui entraîne une poulie 4 représentée en pointillés sur la Fig.l.That said, Fig.l schematically shows the chassis C of a motor vehicle door in which is mounted a motor device 1 comprising an electric motor 2 provided with a reduction gear 3 which drives a pulley 4 shown in dotted lines in Fig .l.

La poulie d'entraînement 4 coopère avec un câble '5 du type Bowden dont quelques spires du noyau intérieure 6 sont enroulées autour de la poulie 4. Ce noyau passe par ailleurs sur des poulies de renvoi 7 et 8 solidaires d'un rail de guidage 9.. La gaine extérieure du câble 5 comporte une première partie 10a s'étendant entre le dispositif moteur 1 et une plaque de montage 11 du rail de guidage 9 et une seconde partie 10b qui s'étend entre ce dispositif moteur et une autre plaque de montage 12 de ce rail. Ce dernier s'étend à peu près verticalement dans le châssis C tandis qu'un chariot 13 est monté coulissant sur ce rail en étant attaché au noyau 6 du câble. Le chariot 13 porte la vitre V.The drive pulley 4 cooperates with a cable '5 of the Bowden type, a few turns of the inner core 6 of which are wound around the pulley 4. This core also passes over idler pulleys 7 and 8 secured to a guide rail 9 .. The outer sheath of the cable 5 comprises a first part 10a extending between the motor device 1 and a mounting plate 11 of the guide rail 9 and a second part 10b which extends between this motor device and another mounting plate 12 of this rail. The latter extends approximately vertically in the chassis C while a carriage 13 is slidably mounted on this rail while being attached to the core 6 of the cable. The carriage 13 carries the window V.

L'agencement que l'on vient de décrire est connu et ne présente pas de particularités.The arrangement which has just been described is known and does not present any particularities.

Selon l'invention, le circuit électronique de commande du moteur 2 est monté dans un boitier 14 qui forme partie intégrante avec le carter de ce moteur et qui constitue donc un ensemble monobloc avec le dispositif moteur 1. Ce circuit électronique qui peut être du type décrit dans l'un des brevets précités, comporte une première fiche de branchement 14a destinée à être reliée d'une part au bouton de commande 15 (Fig.2) et d'autre part à la source d'alimentation 16 du véhicule. Le boîtier 14 comporte également une seconde prise de connexion 14b qui est destinée à être connectée à un détecteur de position 17. Dans la variante de la Fig.l, ce détecteur est monté sur la plaque 11 du rail de guidage 9 et est formé par un interrupteur de fin de course 18. Le détecteur de position 17 comporte également un bouton d'actionnement 19 de l'interrupteur 18 et ce bouton est monté coulissant dans une ouverture 20 d'une languette de support 21 faisant partie de la plaque 11 et pliée à l'équerre par rapport à celle-ci. Le bouton 19 coopère avec un poussoir réglable 22 solidaire du chariot 13.According to the invention, the electronic control circuit of the motor 2 is mounted in a box 14 which forms an integral part with the casing of this motor and which therefore constitutes a monobloc assembly with the motor device 1. This electronic circuit which can be of the type described in one of the aforementioned patents, comprises a first connection plug 14a intended to be connected on the one hand to the control button 15 (Fig.2) and on the other hand to the power source 16 of the vehicle. The housing 14 also includes a second connection socket 14b which is intended to be connected to a position detector 17. In the variant of FIG. 1, this detector is mounted on the plate 11 of the guide rail 9 and is formed by a limit switch 18. The position detector 17 also includes an actuating button 19 for the switch 18 and this button is slidably mounted in an opening 20 of a support tongue 21 forming part of the plate 11 and bent at right angles to it. The button 19 cooperates with an adjustable pusher 22 secured to the carriage 13.

La Fig.2 montre le schéma de câblage du lève-vitre que l'on vient de décrire. On voit que les prises 14a et 14b sont raccordées respectivement à des fiches 23a et 23b, l'une reliée à un faisceau F1 et l'autre à un faisceau F2. Le faisceau FI est raccordé à la source d'alimentation 16 et au bouton de commande 15 qui se trouve dans l'habitacle du véhicule à un endroit approprié. Le faisceau F2 relie la prise 14b à l'interrupteur 18.Fig. 2 shows the wiring diagram for the window regulator just described. It can be seen that the sockets 14a and 14b are connected respectively to plugs 23a and 23b, one connected to a beam F1 and the other to a beam F2. The beam FI is connected to the power source 16 and to the control button 15 which is located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle at a suitable location. The beam F2 connects the socket 14b to the switch 18.

On constate que le montage de ce lève-vitre est très commode. Tout d'abord, l'ensemble représenté sur la Fig.l est unitaire et peut donc être facilement monté dans la portière par de simples vis associées respectivement aux plaques 11 et 12 et au dispositif moteur 1, tandis que pour la connexion électrique, il suffit simplement de deux faisceaux de Fl et F2 de conducteurs, l'un ne comportant que cinq conducteurs au total et l'autre n'en comportant que deux.We see that the installation of this window regulator is very dresser. First of all, the assembly shown in Fig. L is unitary and can therefore be easily mounted in the door by simple screws associated respectively with the plates 11 and 12 and with the motor device 1, while for the electrical connection, it simply two bundles of F1 and F2 of conductors are sufficient, one comprising only five conductors in total and the other comprising only two.

On notera qu'avantageusement, la butée 22 est pourvue d'un embout 22a dont le diamètre D est choisi plus grand que le diamètre d du poussoir 20 actionnant l'interrupteur 18, de telle sorte que lorsque le chariot 13 est amené vers sa position haute, la languette 21 puisse constituer un arrêt du mouvement, ce qui évite la détérioration de l'interrupteur si l'ensemble venait à être déréglé.It will be noted that advantageously, the stop 22 is provided with a nozzle 22a whose diameter D is chosen to be larger than the diameter d of the pusher 20 actuating the switch 18, so that when the carriage 13 is brought to its position high, the tongue 21 can constitute a movement stop, which prevents deterioration of the switch if the assembly were to be adjusted.

Sur la Fig.3, on a représenté une ,variante de détecteur de position. Dans ce cas, on prévoit entre le dispositif moteur 1 d'une part et la plaque de montage 11 d'autre part ( non représentée sur la Fig.3), une gaine de câble 23 dont une partie 24 est constituée par des spires non jointives d'un fil enroulé en hélice, habituel dans les câbles du type Bowden. Une plaquette de montage 25 est solidaire du carter du dispositif moteur 1 et cette plaquette supporte un interrupteur 26 coopérant avec une plaque de poussée 27 constituée de préférence par une rondelle fixée sur la gaine du câble 23. Grâce à cette rondelle, l'interrupteur 26 peut être monté dans une position angulaire quelconque autour du câble.In Fig.3, there is shown a variant position detector. In this case, there is provided between the motor device 1 on the one hand and the mounting plate 11 on the other hand (not shown in Fig.3), a cable sheath 23 of which a part 24 is constituted by non-spiral turns. contiguous with a helically wound wire, usual in Bowden type cables. A mounting plate 25 is secured to the casing of the motor device 1 and this plate supports a switch 26 cooperating with a thrust plate 27 preferably constituted by a washer fixed on the sheath of the cable 23. Thanks to this washer, the switch 26 can be mounted in any angular position around the cable.

Dans ces conditions, lorsque le dispositif moteur est actionné et que la vitre se trouve en fin de course, la poursuite de l'action du dispositif moteur sur le câble 23 rapproche les spires non jointives de la portion 24 les unes des autres par compression axiale, de sorte que l'interrupteur 26 se rapproche de la plaquette 27 pour finalement être actionné. Ceci interrompt l'alimentation du dispositif moteur dans cette position particulière de la course.Under these conditions, when the motor device is actuated and the window is at the end of its travel, the continuation of the action of the motor device on the cable 23 brings the non-contiguous turns closer to each other by axial compression. , so that the switch 26 approaches the plate 27 to finally be actuated. This interrupts the power supply to the motor device in this particular position of the stroke.

Dans la variante de la Fig.4, le dispositif détecteur de position de la vitre comporte un potentiomètre linéaire monté sur le rail 9 du lève-vitre. Ce potentiomètre comporte tout d'abord un curseur 28 solidaire du chariot 13 ainsi que deux pistes 29 et 30 prévues sur le rail de guidage 9. La piste 29 est du type résistif et est collée à un support isolant adhésif, lui- même fixé sur le rail de guidage 9. De préférence, elle est renforcée par une polymérisation à chaud sur le rail 9. Bien entendu, le frotteur 28 est isolé du chariot 13. Ce frotteur peut renvoyer le signal par la piste 30 qui est constitué par une couche conductrice apportée de manière identique sur le rail 9 que la piste 29. Ainsi, on peut éviter une liaison électrique mobile par fils souples entre le frotteur 28 et l'entrée correspondante du circuit électronique 14.In the variant of FIG. 4, the device for detecting the position of the glass comprises a linear potentiometer mounted on rail 9 of the window regulator. This potentiometer comprises first of all a cursor 28 integral with the carriage 13 as well as two tracks 29 and 30 provided on the guide rail 9. The track 29 is of the resistive type and is glued to an adhesive insulating support, itself fixed on the guide rail 9. Preferably, it is reinforced by hot polymerization on the rail 9. Of course, the wiper 28 is isolated from the carriage 13. This wiper can return the signal by the track 30 which is constituted by a layer conductive brought identically to the rail 9 as the track 29. Thus, a mobile electrical connection can be avoided by flexible wires between the wiper 28 and the corresponding input of the electronic circuit 14.

Bien entendu, un connecteur prévu en bas ou en haut des pistes 29 et 30 est relié au circuit électronique 14 par la prise 14b comme décrit ci-dessus à propos de la Fig.2. Les pistes 29 et 30 peuvent également être consitutées par des dépôts d'un vernis ou d'un émail isolant sur le rail 9 puis le dépôt ou rouleau ou par sérigraphie des éléments conducteurs des pistes 29 et 30. Comme le rail 9 est en métal, des pistes ainsi formées peuvent être polymérisées ou cuites à haute température, ce qui leur donne une résistance au frottement très élevée.Of course, a connector provided at the bottom or at the top of the tracks 29 and 30 is connected to the electronic circuit 14 by the socket 14b as described above with regard to FIG. 2. Tracks 29 and 30 can also be formed by the deposition of a varnish or an insulating enamel on the rail 9 then the deposition or roller or by screen printing of the conductive elements of the tracks 29 and 30. As the rail 9 is made of metal , tracks thus formed can be polymerized or baked at high temperature, which gives them a very high friction resistance.
