Description
La présente invention concerne les commandes extérieures de porte de véhicule automobile, qui comprennent une poignée en forme de palette qui est montée pivotante par rapport à un boîtier en forme de cuvette. A cet effet, la palette comporte généralement deux bras latéraux en col de cygne qui traversent des boutonnières de la cuvette.The present invention relates to the exterior controls of a motor vehicle door, which comprise a handle in the form of a pallet which is pivotally mounted relative to a housing in the form of a bowl. For this purpose, the pallet generally comprises two lateral arms in swan neck which pass through buttonholes of the bowl.
La poignée en forme de palette et le boîtier sont souvent réalisés en matière plastique moulée à faible module d'élasticité.The pallet-shaped handle and the housing are often made of molded plastic with a low modulus of elasticity.
Ces commandes telles qu'elles sont jusqu'à présent réalisées présentent des inconvénients. La palette n'est pas suffisamment raide en torsion et on ne peut remédier à cet inconvénient en augmentant la masse de la palette; en effet il ne faut pas placer une masse importante sous l'axe de la palette, car les réglementations actuelles exigent qu'en cas d'accident, pour une accélération transversale inférieure à 300 m/s, le couple exercé sur la palette par cette accélération (le couple est fonction de la masse de la palette et de la position de son centre de gravité par rapport à son axe de rotation) ne puisse faire pivoter suffisamment cette dernière qui en actionnant la serrure ouvrirait la porte.These commands as they are hitherto carried have drawbacks. The pallet is not sufficiently stiff in torsion and this drawback cannot be remedied by increasing the mass of the palette; indeed, a large mass should not be placed under the axis of the pallet, because current regulations require that in the event of an accident, for a transverse acceleration of less than 300 m / s, the torque exerted on the pallet by this acceleration (the torque is a function of the mass of the pallet and the position of its center of gravity with respect to its axis of rotation) cannot sufficiently rotate the latter which, by actuating the lock would open the door.
La présente invention a pour objet une commande extérieure de porte du type ci-dessus qui, au contraire, remédie à cet inconvénient.The present invention relates to an external door control of the above type which, on the contrary, remedies this drawback.
Plus précisément, la commande objet de l'invention est du type comportant une poignée en forme de palette qui est montée pivotante, la palette comportant deux bras latéraux en col de cygne reliés l'un à l'autre par une poutre parallèle à l'axe de pivotement de cette palette, cette dernière étant montée au-dessous de l'axe et la poutre étant montée au-dessus de cet axe (voir par exemple le document DE-A-2658153 qui décrit une commande extérieure selon le préambule de la revendication indépendante).More specifically, the control object of the invention is of the type comprising a handle in the form of a pallet which is pivotally mounted, the pallet comprising two lateral arms in swan neck connected to one another by a beam parallel to the pivot axis of this pallet, the latter being mounted below the axis and the beam being mounted above this axis (see for example document DE-A-2658153 which describes an external control according to the preamble of the independent claim).
Selon l'invention, la palette est montée pivotante par rapport à un boîtier fixe en forme de cuvette fixé en position de montage sur la porte, l'axe de pivotement étant extérieur à la cuvette, et la poutre fait corps avec les bras qui traversent des boutonnières ménagées sur la cuvette et débouchant sur un bord de celle-ci de façon à permettre le montage, sur le boîtier fixe, de l'ensemble indissociable constitué par la palette, les bras et la poutre.According to the invention, the pallet is pivotally mounted relative to a fixed cup-shaped housing fixed in the mounting position on the door, the pivot axis being outside the bowl, and the beam is integral with the arms which pass through. buttonholes formed on the bowl and opening onto an edge thereof so as to allow mounting, on the fixed housing, of the inseparable assembly constituted by the pallet, the arms and the beam.
De préférence, la poutre est positionnée de façon que le centre de gravité de la palette soit au voisinage de l'axe de pivotement la séparant de la palette.Preferably, the beam is positioned so that the center of gravity of the pallet is in the vicinity of the pivot axis separating it from the pallet.
On a décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, un mode de réalisation de la commande selon l'invention avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :
- La Figure 1 est une vue en coupe de la commande, la palette étant en position fermée,
- La Figure 2 est une vue en coupe semblable à la Figure 1, la palette étant en position ouverte;
- La Figure 3 est une vue en perspective montrant la palette et le boîtier séparés.
- FIG. 1 is a sectional view of the control, the pallet being in the closed position,
- Figure 2 is a sectional view similar to Figure 1, the palette being in the open position;
- Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the separate pallet and housing.
Telle qu'elle est représentée aux dessins, la commande extérieure de porte comporte une poignée 1 en forme de palette qui est montéee pivotante par rapport à un boîtier en forme de cuvette 2; la palette et la cuvette sont en matière plastique injectée de faible densité.As shown in the drawings, the exterior door control comprises a handle 1 in the form of a pallet which is pivotally mounted relative to a cup-shaped housing 2; the pallet and the bowl are made of low density injected plastic.
La cuvette 2 est fixée sur l'élément vertical 4b d'un pliage 4a,4b de la tôle 4 du panneau extérieur de porte par une vis 3 et un écrou 3a encastré dans une barrette 10 qui, faisant saillie sur la face convexe de la cuvette, la rigidifie.The bowl 2 is fixed on the vertical element 4 b of a
La palette 1 porte deux bras latéraux 5a et 5b en col de cygne qui sont montés pivotants par rapport à la cuvette 2 autour d'un axe 6 extérieur à cette cuvette. Ces bras sont reliés l'un à l'autre par une poutre 7 venue de matière avec ces bras et qui est parallèle à l'axe 6 interposé entre elle et la poignée 1 et traversent des boutonnières 8a et 8b débouchant sur le bord de la cuvette; la poutre 7 comporte à une de ses extrémités un prolongement 9 relié au dispositif de commande de la serrure.The pallet 1 carries two
La commande de porte selon l'invention présente les avantages suivants :The door control according to the invention has the following advantages:
La poutre 7 faisant corps avec les bras 5a,5b donne à la poignée 1 une bonne rigidité malgré sa légèreté.
- La légèreté due à l'utilisation de la matière plastique et le choix de l'emplacement de la poutre 7 permettent la réalisation d'une poignée ayant son centre de gravité voisin de l'axe de
pivotement 6, ce qui, en évitant une ouverture intempestive de la porte, rend la poignée conforme à la réglementation en vigueur. - L'adjonction de la
barrette 10 à la cuvette 2 redonne à cette dernière la rigidité perdue en faisant déboucher les 8a,8b sur le bord de la cuvette.boutonnières
- The lightness due to the use of plastic and the choice of the location of the beam 7 allow the realization of a handle having its center of gravity close to the
pivot axis 6, which, avoiding an opening untimely door, makes the handle comply with current regulations. - The addition of the
bar 10 to the bowl 2 gives the latter the rigidity lost by opening the 8 a , 8 b on the edge of the bowl.buttonholes
Un ressort 11 en fil d'acier, constitué d'une partie centrale formée de spires jointives centrées sur l'axe 6 et prolongée par deux branches 11a et 11b en appui respectivement sur la poutre 7 et sur la cuvette 2, maintient la palette 1 dans sa position fermée en la pressant contre deux butées élastiques 12 portées par le boîtier 2.A spring 11 of steel wire, consisting of a central part formed of contiguous turns centered on the
Il va de soi que la présente invention ne doit pas être considérée comme limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et représenté, mais en couvre, au contraire, toutes les variantes, qui sont comprises dans le cadre de la revendication indépendante.It goes without saying that the present invention should not be considered as limited to the embodiment described and shown, but on the contrary covers all variants thereof, which are included within the scope of the independent claim.
