Definitions

  • the present invention relates to window regulators for motor vehicles.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a window regulator whose mounting is convenient and which requires a minimum of electrical conductors.
  • 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.
  • this is an example of a cable-driven window regulator.
  • the invention is not limited to this particular mode of mechanical drive.
  • the invention also applies to various types of electronic window regulator controls and in particular to those using the conventional control in which the window can be moved at a single speed under the action of the control button, the displacement being continued as long as the user presses this control button, or even those more complex in which the control circuit allows driving at two speeds of the motor.
  • Descriptions of electronic control circuits for such window regulators are found in French patents 2,460,383, 2,484,168 and 2,499,331, all filed in the name of the Applicant.
  • FIG. 1 schematically represents 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. 1.
  • 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 plate mounting 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.
  • the electronic control circuit of the motor 2 is mounted in a housing 14 which forms an integral part with the casing of this motor and which therefore constitutes a one-piece 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.
  • 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 actuation button 19 of the switch 18 and this button is mounted sliding in an opening 20 of a support tab 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.
  • Fig. 2 shows the wiring diagram for the window regulator that has just been 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 harness F1 is connected to the power source 16 and to the control button 15 which is located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle at an appropriate location.
  • the beam F2 connects the socket 14b to the switch 18.
  • this window regulator is very convenient.
  • the assembly shown in FIG. 1 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, just two bundles of conductors F1 and F2 are sufficient. 'one with only five conductors in total and the other with only two.
  • the stop 22 is provided with an end piece 22a whose diameter D is chosen to be larger or 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.
  • a variant of the position detector has been shown.
  • the motor device 1 on the one hand 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.
  • the device for detecting the position of the window comprises a linear potentiometer mounted on the rail 9 of the window lifter.
  • This potentiometer firstly comprises a cursor 28 secured to 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.
  • 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.
  • a mobile electrical connection can be avoided by flexible wires between the wiper 28 and the corresponding input of the electronic circuit 14.
  • Tracks 29 and 30 can also be formed by deposits 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 tracks 29 and 30.
  • tracks thus formed can be polymerized or baked at high temperature, which gives them a very high resistance to friction.
