Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif lève-vitre électrique pour véhicule automobile,du type comprenant deux bras en X disposés à l'intérieur de la portière du véhicule et supportant la vitre correspondante.The present invention relates to an electric window regulator device for a motor vehicle, of the type comprising two X-shaped arms arranged inside the door of the vehicle and supporting the corresponding window.

Dans ce type de lève-vitre,l'un des bras est menant et l'autre mené,le bras menant étant articulé à l'une de ses extrémités sur un support susceptible d'être entraîné en rotation par un motoréducteur commandé par un organe manuel,son autre extrémité étant montée à coulisse dans une glissière solidaire de la vitre. Le second bras est articulé sur le précédent et monté coulissant d'une part dans une coulisse de la porte et d'autre part dans une seconde coulisse solidaire de la vitre.In this type of window regulator, one of the arms is driving and the other driven, the driving arm being articulated at one of its ends on a support capable of being driven in rotation by a geared motor controlled by a member. manual, its other end being slidably mounted in a slide secured to the glass. The second arm is articulated on the previous one and mounted sliding on the one hand in a slide of the door and on the other hand in a second slide secured to the glass.

L'interrupteur constituant l'organe manuel de commande est habituellement disposé sur le tableau de bord, et sa course est de l'ordre du millimètre de sorte qu'il agit en "tout ou rien".The switch constituting the manual control member is usually placed on the dashboard, and its stroke is of the order of a millimeter so that it acts "all or nothing".

Il en résulte qu'on ne peut régler de manière fine la position de la vitre, le temps s'écoulant entre l'ouverture complète et la fermeture complète de la vitre étant de l'ordre de quelques secondes.As a result, the position of the window cannot be finely adjusted, the time elapsing between complete opening and complete closing of the window being of the order of a few seconds.

L'invention a pour but de permettre un réglage nettement plus précis de la position de la vitre par le conducteur du véhicule.The invention aims to allow a much more precise adjustment of the position of the window by the driver of the vehicle.

Suivant l'invention,l'organe de commande est monté sur le bras menant de manière à être cinématiquement lié à celui-ci, et cet organe de commande fait saillie à l'extérieur d'une échancrure ménagée dans le panneau interne de garnissage de la porte qui s'étend sur toute la longueur de la course de l'organe de commande et de son bras de support,entre les positions extrêmes de la vitre, l'organe de commande pouvant coulisser dans cettè échancrure pendant le déplacement des bras.According to the invention, the control member is mounted on the driving arm so as to be kinematically linked thereto, and this control member projects outside of a notch formed in the internal lining panel of the door which extends over the entire length of the stroke of the control member and its support arm, between the extreme positions of the glass, the control member being able to slide in this notch during the movement of the arms.

Dans ces conditions, le conducteur a la faculté de contrôler la position de la vitre sur une course, non plus de l'ordre d'un millimètre, mais de l'ordre d'un décimètre, ce qui lui permet de "suivre" plus aisément la position de la vitre.In these conditions, the driver has the power to control the position of the window on a race, either on the order of a millimeter, but on the order of a decimeter, which allows it to "follow" the position of the window more easily.

Suivant une forme de réalisation de l'invention, l'organe de commande est un interrupteur pourvu de deux séries de contacts électriques correspondant à deux vitesses de déplacement des bras, une vitesse rapide et une vitesse lente dans chaque sens de marche.According to one embodiment of the invention, the control member is a switch provided with two series of electrical contacts corresponding to two speeds of movement of the arms, a fast speed and a slow speed in each direction of travel.

Ainsi, en poussant l'interrupteur d'un côté ou de l'autre selon que le conducteur veut faire monter ou descendre la vitre, le premier contact établit une vitesse rapide de descente ou de montée, et le second une vitesse lente de réglage fin, la connexion de l'interrupteur avec le contact de vitesse rapide étant obtenue par une poussée plus forte sur l'interrupteur.Thus, by pushing the switch on one side or the other depending on whether the driver wants to raise or lower the window, the first contact establishes a rapid speed of descent or ascent, and the second a slow speed of fine adjustment , the connection of the switch with the high speed contact being obtained by a stronger push on the switch.

Suivant une autre forme de réalisation, l'organe de commande commande un élément analogique tel qu'un potentiomètre.According to another embodiment, the control member controls an analog element such as a potentiometer.

D'une manière générale, l'organe de commande est installé de façon à ce que sa référence suive l'organe de sortie, et ceci mécaniquement sans intervention d'organe de recopie de position, tel que potentiomètre, codeur,etc.In general, the control member is installed so that its reference follows the output member, and this mechanically without the intervention of a position feedback device, such as potentiometer, encoder, etc.

Cette particularité, combinée à la précédente, permet donc un réglage très précis de la position de la vitre.This feature, combined with the previous one, therefore allows very precise adjustment of the position of the window.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre,faite en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels on a représenté, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, plusieurs formes de réalisation du dispositif lève-vitre selon l'invention.

On a représenté -aux Figures 1 à 6 une première forme de réalisation d'un dispositif lève-vitre électrique pour véhicule automobile selon l'invention.There is shown in Figures 1 to 6 a first embodiment of an electric window regulator device for a motor vehicle according to the invention.

Ce dispositif comprend (Figure 1) deux bras en X 1,2 , disposés à. l'intérieur de la portière 3 du véhicule et supportant la vitre correspondante 4. De façon connue en soi, le bras menant 1 est fixé à l'une de ses extrémités sur un support 5 constitué par un secteur denté susceptible d'être entraîné en rotation par un motoréducteur 6. Ce dernier est commandé par un organe manuel constitué d'un bouton de commande 7 auquel il est relié par des connexions électriques représentées à la Figure 6.This device comprises (Figure 1) two arms in X 1,2, arranged at. inside the door 3 of the vehicle and supporting the corresponding window 4. In a manner known per se, the driving arm 1 is fixed at one of its ends on a support 5 constituted by a toothed sector capable of to be driven in rotation by a gearmotor 6. The latter is controlled by a manual member consisting of a control button 7 to which it is connected by electrical connections shown in FIG. 6.

L'autre extrémité du bras 1, ainsi que celles du second bras 2 sont montées à coulisse dans des glissières 8, 9,liées à la vitre,et 11 de la porte 3.On a représenté à la Figure 1 en traits continus les positions des bras 1 et 2 lorsque la vitre 4 est relevée, et en traits interrompus les positions respectives la et 2a des bras 1 et 2 lorsque la vitre 4 est en position basse, après pivotement correspondant des bras 1, 2 sur environ 90°, comme indiqué par les flèches Fl et F2.The other end of the arm 1, as well as those of the second arm 2 are mounted to slide in slides 8, 9, linked to the glass, and 11 of the door 3.We have shown in Figure 1 in continuous lines the positions arms 1 and 2 when the window 4 is raised, and in broken lines the respective positions 1a and 2a of the arms 1 and 2 when the window 4 is in the low position, after corresponding pivoting of the arms 1, 2 over approximately 90 °, as indicated by the arrows Fl and F2.

Suivant l'invention, le bouton de commande 7 est monté sur le bras menant 1, de manière à être cinématiquement lié à celui-ci. Le bouton 7 fait saillie à l'extérieur d'une échancrure incurvée 12 ménagée dans le panneau interne 13 de garnissage de la porte 3. L'échancrure 12 s'étend donc sur un secteur circulaire correspondant à toute la longueur de la course angulaire du bras 1 et du bouton 7 porté par celui-ci, entre les positions extrêmes de la vitre 4, de telle sorte que le bouton de commande 7 puisse effectivement coulisser dans l'échancrure 12 pendant le déplacement des bras 1, 2.According to the invention, the control button 7 is mounted on the driving arm 1, so as to be kinematically linked thereto. The button 7 protrudes outside of a curved notch 12 formed in the internal panel 13 for lining the door 3. The notch 12 therefore extends over a circular sector corresponding to the entire length of the angular travel of the arm 1 and of the button 7 carried by the latter, between the extreme positions of the window 4, so that the control button 7 can effectively slide in the notch 12 during the movement of the arms 1, 2.

Le bouton 7 fait partie (Figures 2 et 3) d'un interrupteur désigné par la référence générale 14 et pourvu de contacts électriques C1,C2. L'interrupteur 14 comporte également deux plots 15, 16 disposés de chaque côté du bouton 7, deux ressorts de rappel 17,18 étant interposés entre ce dernier et deux étriers 10 de maintien et de guidage axial du bouton 7 sur un socle 19 solidarisé avec le bras 1.The button 7 is part (Figures 2 and 3) of a switch designated by the general reference 14 and provided with electrical contacts C 1 , C 2 . The switch 14 also comprises two studs 15, 16 arranged on each side of the button 7, two return springs 17, 18 being interposed between the latter and two stirrups 10 for holding and axially guiding the button 7 on a base 19 secured to arm 1.

Dans ces conditions, lorsqu'on exerce une poussée sur le bouton 7 en direction du contact C1 ou C21 le plot correspondant 15 ou 16 établit le contact électrique, et le motoréducteur 6 se met en route en faisant pivoter le secteur 5 dans le sens de la montée ou de la descente de la vitre 4 selon que le contact a été établi avec C ou C2 (ou vice versa).Under these conditions, when a push is made on the button 7 in the direction of the contact C 1 or C 21, the corresponding pad 15 or 16 establishes the electrical contact, and the geared motor 6 is started by rotating the sector 5 in the direction of raising or lowering the window 4 depending on whether contact has been made with C or C 2 (or vice versa).

On comprend que l'ensemble constitue une boucle d'asservissement schématiquement représentée à la Figure 5. Elle comprend le bouton 7 et le motoréducteur 6. La boucle de retour est unitaire puisque le bouton 7 subit le déplacement d'ensemble du bras 1 et la fonction du comparateur 21 est localisée dans l'interrupteur 14.It is understood that the assembly constitutes a servo loop schematically represented in FIG. 5. It comprises the button 7 and the geared motor 6. The return loop is unitary since the button 7 undergoes the overall movement of the arm 1 and the function of comparator 21 is located in switch 14.

Dans cette boucle d'asservissement, le signal de consigne est la position de l'organe de commande 7 manoeuvré par le conducteur, et le signal de sortie est la position du bras 1. Le comparateur 21 exécute constamment des comparaisons entre les valeurs de ces deux signaux pour déterminer un signal d'erreur résultant de la différence des deux valeurs en cause, afin d'asservir la position angulaire du bras 1 à la position effective du bouton de commande 7. Selon le signe dû signal d'erreur, le comparateur 21 donne l'ordre au motoréducteur 6 de continuer le déplacement de la vitre 3, ou au contraire de faire revenir légèrement celle-ci en arrière, jusqu'à ce que le signal d'erreur devienne égal à zéro. A ce moment, la position réelle du bras 1 et par conséquent de la vitre 4 correspond à la position effective du bouton 7 donnant l'ordre au motoréducteur 6. Ceci constitue d'une manière économique une boucle de retour sans autre intermédiaire.In this control loop, the setpoint signal is the position of the control member 7 operated by the driver, and the output signal is the position of the arm 1. The comparator 21 constantly performs comparisons between the values of these two signals to determine an error signal resulting from the difference of the two values in question, in order to control the angular position of the arm 1 to the effective position of the control button 7. According to the sign of error signal, the comparator 21 gives the order to the geared motor 6 to continue the movement of the window 3, or on the contrary to make it return slightly backwards, until the error signal becomes equal to zero. At this time, the actual position of the arm 1 and therefore of the window 4 corresponds to the effective position of the button 7 giving the order to the gearmotor 6. This constitutes in an economical manner a return loop without any other intermediary.

Les liaisons électriques entre les contacts C1,C2, le motoréducteur 6 et la batterie 22 d'alimentation duvéhicu- le ont été schématiquement illustrées à. la Figure 6.The electrical connections between the contacts C 1 , C 2 , the gearmotor 6 and the vehicle supply battery 22 have been schematically illustrated in. Figure 6.

La longueur de l'échancrure 12 ménagée dans la porte 3 est sensiblement supérieure a 1 décimètre,de préférence,de sorte que la course effective du bouton de commande 7 est de l'ordre du décimètre,entre les deux positions extrêmes de la vitre 4.Il en résulte pour l'usager une meilleure possibilité de contrôler avec précision le réglage de la position de la vitre 4, qu'avec un bouton placé sur le tableau de bord et ayant une course millimétrique fonctionnant en tout ou rien. Le conducteur peut en quelque sorte "suivre" le déplacement de la vitre avec le bouton 7 coulissant dans la fente 12, et obtenir la position voulue pour la vitre 4 avec une grande précision.The length of the notch 12 formed in the door 3 is substantially greater than 1 decimeter, preferably, so that the effective travel of the control button 7 is of the order of the decimeter, between the two extreme positions of the window 4 The result is better for the user possibility of precisely controlling the adjustment of the position of the window 4, with a button placed on the dashboard and having a millimeter stroke operating in all or nothing. The driver can somehow "follow" the movement of the window with the button 7 sliding in the slot 12, and obtain the desired position for the window 4 with great precision.

Dans la variante de réalisation illustrée aux Figures 7 et 8,l'interrupteur 23 est pourvu de deux séries de contacts électriques C'1-C'2, et C"1-C"2.Entre chacun de ces contacts et le plot correspondant 15,16, est interposé un ressort hélicoïdal 24 de rappel du bouton de commande 7 en position médiane.Les contacts C'1 et C'2 sont plus rapprochés de cette position médiane du bouton 7 que les contacts C" et C"2 et les quatre contacts sont à déclenchement élastique ou à embase montée élastiquement comme représenté .Ceci permet de déclencher d'abord C'1(ou C'2) puis C"1(ou C"2)' De ce fait,lorsque le conducteur exerce sur le bouton 7 une poussée dans un sens ou dans l'autre,le contact électrique est d'abord établi avec C'1 ou C'2, et la vitre 4 est déplacée corrélativement à vitesse lente.Si le conducteur augmente la poussée sur le bouton 7, l'un ou l'autre des contacts C" et C"2 est alors utilisé, et la vitre 4 se déplace à vitesse lente dans celui des sens de marche choisi, ce qui permet un réglage d'approche de sa position.In the alternative embodiment illustrated in Figures 7 and 8, the switch 23 is provided with two series of electrical contacts C ' 1 -C' 2 , and C " 1 -C" 2 .. Between each of these contacts and the corresponding stud 15,16 is interposed a helical spring 24 for returning the control button 7 to the middle position. The contacts C ' 1 and C' 2 are closer to this middle position of the button 7 than the contacts C "and C" 2 and the four contacts are with elastic release or with a base mounted resiliently as shown. This makes it possible to start first C ' 1 (or C' 2 ) then C " 1 (or C" 2 ) ' Therefore, when the driver exercises on the button 7 a push in one direction or the other, the electrical contact is first established with C ' 1 or C' 2 , and the window 4 is moved correlatively at slow speed. If the driver increases the push on the button 7, one or the other of the contacts C "and C" 2 is then used, and the window 4 moves at slow speed in that of the directions of marc he selected, which allows an approach setting of his position.

Bien entendu, cette variante d'exécution comprend également la boucle d'asservissement de la Figure 5.Of course, this variant of embodiment also includes the servo loop of FIG. 5.

Dans la troisième forme de réalisation du lève-vitre représentée aux Figures 9 et 10, l'interrupteur 25 comprend un bouton de commande 26 monté attelé sur une tige 27 pourvue à l'une de ses extrémités d'un ressort 28 de rappel du bouton 26 dans sa position médiane, et en contact avec son extrémité opposée avec un potentiomètre P, tous ces éléments étant placés sur le socle 19.Le potentiomètre P est relié au motoréducteur 6 par l'intermédiaire d'un système électronique approprié A relié à la batterie 22 (Figure 10).In the third embodiment of the window regulator shown in Figures 9 and 10, the switch 25 comprises a control button 26 mounted coupled on a rod 27 provided at one of its ends with a button return spring 28 26 in its middle position, and in contact with its opposite end with a potentiometer P, all these elements being placed on the base 19. potentiometer P is connected to the gearmotor 6 via an appropriate electronic system A connected to the battery 22 (Figure 10).

Le potentiomètre P remplace donc les contacts des modes de réalisation précédents, de sorte que lorsqu'il est déclenché par le bouton 26, le signal d'erreur produit par la boucle d'asservissement de la Figure 5 n'est plus un signal tout ou rien, mais un signal analogique représentant réellement la différence entre l'entrée et la sortie de l'asservissement.The potentiometer P therefore replaces the contacts of the preceding embodiments, so that when it is triggered by the button 26, the error signal produced by the servo loop of FIG. 5 is no longer an all or nothing, but an analog signal actually representing the difference between the input and the output of the servo.

La variante de réalisation schématiquement représentée à la Figure 11 diffère des précédentes par le fait que l'interrupteur 29 est ici monté coulissant dans une fente rectiligne 31 ménagée dans le panneau interne de la porte 3, de préférence verticalement. De plus, l'interrupteur 29 est relié au bras menant 1 par un lien souple 32, agencé de manière connue en soi et apte à permettre la commande à distance de la rotation des bras 1 et 2 par déplacement du bouton de commande 33, le lien 32 étant monté dans une gaine de protection 34.The variant embodiment schematically shown in Figure 11 differs from the previous ones in that the switch 29 is here slidably mounted in a rectilinear slot 31 formed in the internal panel of the door 3, preferably vertically. In addition, the switch 29 is connected to the driving arm 1 by a flexible link 32, arranged in a manner known per se and capable of allowing the remote control of the rotation of the arms 1 and 2 by movement of the control button 33, the link 32 being mounted in a protective sheath 34.

Ce mode de réalisation assure donc la commande du lève-vitre de manière ergonomique,grâce au déplacement vertical du bouton 33, dont chaque position dans la fente 31 correspond à une position de la vitre 4.This embodiment therefore ensures control of the window regulator ergonomically, by virtue of the vertical displacement of the button 33, each position of which in the slot 31 corresponds to a position of the window 4.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes de réalisation décrites et peut comporter d'autres variantes d'exécution,notamment celle qui consiste à fixer l'interrupteur directement sur la vitre 4, à sa partie supérieure, comme indiqué Figure 12. La liaison électrique peut alors être réalisée par un circuit imprimé (non représenté) sur ladite vitre 4.The invention is not limited to the embodiments described and may include other alternative embodiments, in particular that which consists in fixing the switch directly on the window pane 4, at its upper part, as indicated in FIG. electrical connection can then be made by a printed circuit (not shown) on said window 4.
