Description
L'invention concerne un vitrage nécessitant une alimentation en signaux électriques. L'invention concerne également l'utilisation d'un tel vitrage, spécialement sur les véhicules.The invention relates to a glazing unit requiring signal supply electric. The invention also relates to the use of such glazing, specially on vehicles.
Un vitrage selon le préambule de la revendication est décrit dans EP-A-0 217 703.Glazing according to the preamble of claim is described in EP-A-0 217 703.
Dans une automobile, plusieurs types de vitrages nécessitent une liaison électrique. Il s'agit de vitrages chauffants, dégivrants, à propriétés optiques télécommandées ou de vitrages possédant un élément nécessitant cette liaison comme, par exemple, une antenne, des capteurs...In an automobile, several types of glazing require a connection electric. These are heated, de-icing glazing with optical properties remote-controlled or glazing units with an element requiring this connection like, for example, an antenna, sensors ...
La liaison électrique est usuellement constituée d'une bande collectrice en contact électrique avec les éléments nécessitant cette alimentation. Elle est connectée en bord de vitrage à un câble relié à une source d'alimentation, comme décrit par exemple dans le brevet DE-36 04 437.The electrical connection usually consists of a collecting strip in electrical contact with the elements requiring this supply. She is connected at the edge of the glazing with a cable connected to a power source, as described by example in patent DE-36 04 437.
La source électrique ou l'organe de commande est, de façon générale, situé dans une zone protégée des sollicitations extérieures ainsi, dans le cas d'un vitrage chauffant, l'interrupteur qui commande le dégivrage est à l'intérieur de l'habitacle, il en va de même dans le cas d'un feu stop installé sur le vitrage. D'une façon symétrique, si, par exemple, la source électrique est une antenne sérigraphiée sur le vitrage, sur sa face interne, elle se trouve également dans la zone protégée des sollicitations extérieures.The electrical source or the control unit is generally located in an area protected from external stresses as well, in the case of glazing heated, the switch that controls the defrost is inside the passenger compartment, the same applies in the case of a brake light installed on the glazing. In a manner symmetrical, if, for example, the electrical source is a screen-printed antenna on the glazing, on its internal face, it is also in the area protected from external stresses.
A l'inverse, le dispositif qui exploite l'énergie ou les signaux électriques se trouve lui aussi dans une zone protégée, à l'intérieur du véhicule. C'est le cas du réseau chauffant sérigraphié d'une lunette dégivrante, c'est le cas du feu stop intégré au vitrage mais également, symétriquement, c'est le cas du poste récepteur de radio dans l'habitacle. Conversely, the device which exploits energy or electrical signals is also found in a protected area, inside the vehicle. This is the case of heating network screen printed with a defrosting window, this is the case of the integrated brake light glazing but also, symmetrically, this is the case with the radio receiver in the passenger compartment.
Ainsi dans le domaine de l'invention, celui où d'une part le dispositif consommateur de courant, ou celui qui exploite des signaux électriques ou, d'autre part, la source électrique, se trouvent installés sur un vitrage, à l'intérieur du véhicule, la liaison électrique conduit de l'intérieur du véhicule à l'intérieur du véhicule. Un problème se pose lorsque, entre ses deux extrémités, la liaison doit transiter hors de la zone protégée des sollicitations extérieures. Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne le cas où l'une de ces deux transitions, intérieur-extérieur, se situe au voisinage du vitrage, le problème est particulièrement sensible lorsque le vitrage est un vitrage ouvrant tel qu'un hayon.Thus in the field of the invention, that where on the one hand the device current consumer, or one who processes electrical signals or, else share, the electrical source, are installed on a glazing, inside the vehicle, the electrical connection leads from inside the vehicle to inside the vehicle. A problem arises when, between its two ends, the connection must transit outside the area protected from external stresses. More specifically, the invention relates to the case where one of these two transitions, interior-exterior, is located near the glazing, the problem is particularly sensitive when the glazing is opening glazing such as a tailgate.
L'invention a pour tâche de procurer un vitrage dont l'alimentation électrique sera assurée par des liaisons électriques situées à la fois en dehors et au sein de la zone délimitée par un joint d'étanchéité, dite zone d'étanchéité.The task of the invention is to provide a glazing whose electrical supply will be provided by electrical connections located both outside and within the area delimited by a seal, called seal area.
L'invention doit permettre que la transition de la liaison électrique entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur s'effectue sans permettre la pénétration de l'eau. Il faut également que cette transition ne gène pas le fonctionnement des moyens d'étanchéité habituels (joints).The invention must allow the transition of the electrical connection between inside and outside is carried out without permitting water penetration. It is necessary also that this transition does not hamper the functioning of the means usual sealing (seals).
L'invention est définie dans les revendications 1 et 5.The invention is defined in
L'invention propose un vitrage comportant à sa surface un conducteur électrique dans lequel un élément complémentaire recouvre une partie du conducteur et confère une étanchéité absolue à ladite partie du conducteur recouverte par cet élément, de préférence la partie du conducteur électrique est choisie parmi les éléments suivants, pris seuls ou en combinaison : couche conductrice, par exemple déposée par sérigraphie, clinquant, plaque souple conductrice, filaments conducteurs sous forme de fils ou de tresses, connexion électrique de type soudure.The invention proposes a glazing comprising on its surface a conductor in which an additional element covers part of the conductor and imparts an absolute seal to said part of the conductor covered by this element, preferably the part of the electrical conductor is chosen from the following elements, taken alone or in combination: layer conductive, for example deposited by screen printing, foil, flexible plate conductive, conductive filaments in the form of wires or braids, connection electric welding type.
Le mode préféré pour réaliser l'élément conférant une étanchéité absolue est le surmoulage du vitrage. Les liaisons électriques sont maintenues provisoirement en position pendant la durée nécessaire au surmoulage par tout moyen approprié : colle, cavaliers, rivets, couche adhésive, etc...The preferred mode for producing the element conferring an absolute seal is the overmolding of the glazing. The electrical connections are temporarily maintained in position for the time necessary for overmolding by any suitable means: glue, jumpers, rivets, adhesive layer, etc ...
L'élément complémentaire avec les caractéristiques qui viennent d'être énoncées permet ainsi de disposer d'une sortie étanche » du vitrage. Elle est utilisable, toutes choses égales par ailleurs, comme la sortie étanche du câble d'alimentation de n'importe quel appareil électrique en contact avec l'eau, comme par exemple une pompe immergée. The complementary element with the characteristics which have just been thus provides a sealed outlet "of the glazing. She is usable, all other things being equal, such as the waterproof cable outlet of any electrical device in contact with water, such as for example a submersible pump.
Dans une variante du vitrage de l'invention, on prévoit que l'élément conférant une étanchéité absolue soit réalisé par l'association d'une embase sur laquelle se greffe un couvercle.In a variant of the glazing of the invention, provision is made for the element conferring an absolute seal is achieved by the association of a base on which is grafted a cover.
Le vitrage de l'invention est particulièrement adapté à l'automobile. L'invention prévoit son utilisation sur un véhicule automobile, un joint d'étanchéité étant au contact dudit vitrage, au moins lorsque celui-ci est en position fermée, et alors le joint d'étanchéité recouvre, au moins partiellement, le conducteur électrique et l'élément complémentaire conférant une étanchéité absolue. Dans ce cas, de préférence, ladite partie du conducteur électrique est reliée, d'une part, à un câble relié à une source de courant ou de signaux électriques et, d'autre part, à un câble relié à un dispositif utilisant le courant ou les signaux tel que dégivrage, feu stop, poste de radio, les deux câbles cheminant de part et d'autre de l'emplacement du joint d'étanchéité.The glazing of the invention is particularly suitable for the automobile. The invention provides for its use on a motor vehicle, a seal being in contact with said glazing, at least when the latter is in the closed position, and then the seal covers, at least partially, the electrical conductor and the complementary element conferring an absolute seal. In this case, preferably, said part of the electrical conductor is connected, on the one hand, to a cable connected to a source of current or electrical signals and, secondly, to a cable connected to a device using current or signals such as defrost, brake light, radio, the two cables running on either side of the location of the seal.
Dans une variante, il est prévu que l'un des câbles, placé à l'extérieur du véhicule, soit incorporé dans un profilé collé en bord de vitrage.In a variant, it is provided that one of the cables, placed outside the vehicle, or incorporated into a profile glued to the edge of glazing.
Monté sur le vitrage d'une automobile, en particulier sur un vitrage ouvrant qui vient se presser sur un joint d'étanchéité lié à la carrosserie et constitué d'un élastomère, l'élément complémentaire de l'invention permet, grâce à la forme adaptée que l'homme du métier lui confère, de garder les mêmes joints que lorsqu'il n'existe pas de conducteurs électriques transitant au niveau du joint tout en gardant une excellente étanchéité.Mounted on the glazing of an automobile, in particular on an opening glazing which is pressed on a seal linked to the body and consisting of a elastomer, the complementary element of the invention allows, thanks to the shape adapted by the skilled person, to keep the same seals as when he there are no electrical conductors passing through the joint while keeping excellent sealing.

La figure 1 illustre différentes trajectoires que peuvent suivre les conducteurs
électriques 1, sur un vitrage 2 de l'invention. Bien entendu, ces trajectoires sont
données à titre non limitatif. Le conducteur peut être constitué des éléments suivants,
pris indépendamment ou en combinaison : un clinquant métallique, une couche
conductrice, au moins un filament conducteur, une plaquette conductrice, une

Le schéma la représente un vitrage 2 dont les conducteurs électriques 1
transitent en dehors de la zone délimitée par un joint d'étanchéité 3. Ce joint situé,
soit sur la carrosserie, soit sur le vitrage lui-même est en contact avec celui-ci (au
moins lorsque le vitrage est fermé si le joint est placé sur la carrosserie) sur une zone
d'une certaine largeur représentée sur la figure. Le schéma 1a représente, par
exemple, l'alimentation en signaux électriques d'un élément 4 grâce à une source
d'alimentation schématisée en 5. Cet élément peut être un feu stop, un capteur, un
moteur d'essuie-glaces, etc...The diagram la represents a
Le schéma 1b illustre un pare-brise chauffant. Le réseau chauffant est constitué
de fils fins de résistance électrique de chauffage 6. Chaque fil chauffant est relié
électriquement à deux bandes collectrices 7 et 8. Les bandes collectrices sont, par
exemple, constituées de bandes de clinquant de cuivre recouvertes de brasure à
l'étain à bas point de fusion. Selon ce schéma, les bandes collectrices sont situées
dans la zone d'étanchéité. Des liaisons 9 assurent l'étanchéité du passage de la zone
d'étanchéité à la zone hors étanchéité. Ces liaisons 9 constituent les conducteurs
électriques 1 du réseau chauffant qui le relient à une source d'alimentation
électrique, non représentée.Diagram 1b illustrates a heated windshield. The heating network is made up

Les schémas 1c et 1d illustrent le passage des liaisons électriques de la zone d'étanchéité à la zone hors étanchéité.Diagrams 1c and 1d illustrate the passage of the electrical connections of the zone sealing to the non-sealing area.
Le schéma 1c représente l'alimentation d'un élément 10 situé dans la zone
d'étanchéité à une source d'alimentation 11, située aussi dans la zone d'étanchéité.
Pour des raisons d'encombrement, le conducteur électrique 1 est situé en majeure
partie hors de la zone d'étanchéité tout en assurant le passage d'une zone à l'autre.
L'élément 10 peut être un feu de signalisation, tel un feu stop, une antenne, un
capteur, et la « source d'alimentation » en signaux électriques, par exemple, une pile
chimique au lithium ou un préamplificateur de signaux radio. Diagram 1c represents the supply of an
Le schéma 1d illustre, quant à lui, une lunette arrière chauffante constituée de
conducteurs faits d'une pâte d'argent sérigraphiée 12 connectés électriquement à
deux bandes collectrices. Les câbles 15 et 16 constituent les conducteurs électriques
1 entre le réseau chauffant et une source d'alimentation extérieure, non représeritée.
Selon ce schéma, les bandes collectrices sont constituées d'une pâte d'argent 12,
déposée par sérigraphie, et la liaison électrique assurée par des filaments conducteurs
sous forme de tresses plates ou de fils 15, 16 respectivement.Diagram 1d illustrates, for its part, a heated rear window consisting of
conductors made of screen-printed
Sur cette figure 1, les pièces éléments complémentaires selon l'invention ne sont pas représentées.In this FIG. 1, the complementary element parts according to the invention do not are not shown.
La figure 2 représente, plus en détail, le passage de la zone d'étanchéité à la
zone hors étanchéité délimité par la zone du joint d'étanchéité 3. Une pièce profilée
17, qui constitue l'élément complémentaire de l'invention, assure l'étanchéité de ce
passage. La pièce profilée 17 est obtenue avantageusement par moulage ou, de
préférence, par surmoulage.Figure 2 shows, in more detail, the passage from the sealing zone to the
non-sealing area delimited by the sealing
Sur la figure, on voit en 18 la représentation d'une gaine profilée qui est située
dans la zone hors étanchéité et où sont logés les conducteurs électriques. Cette gaine
profilée 18 est raccordée à la pièce profilée 17 mais, les pièces 17 et 18 peuvent
constituer une seule et même pièce, comme représenté.In the figure, we see at 18 the representation of a profiled sheath which is located
in the non-sealing area and where the electrical conductors are housed. This
La figure 3 illustre différentes pièces profilées qui constituent des éléments complémentaires selon l'invention ; ils sont ici en forme de chapeau, à titre non limitatif. Cette forme « douce » qui se raccord progressivement à la surface du vitrage permet d'assurer facilement l'étanchéité entre, d'une part, le vitrage et la pièce et un joint élastique de l'autre.Figure 3 illustrates different profiled parts that constitute elements complementary according to the invention; here they are hat-shaped, not limiting. This “soft” shape that gradually connects to the surface of the glazing allows easy sealing between, on the one hand, the glazing and the room and a elastic seal on the other.
La pièce profilée 19 peut couvrir une surface rectangulaire, elliptique ou
posséder des lèvres 20 comme illustrée sur les schémas 3a, 3b, 3c et 3d
respectivement. Les parties de conducteurs sont ici représentées sous forme de fils 40
(schémas 3a, 3b et 3c) ou de conducteurs plats 21 (schémas 3g, 3h). Ici les
conducteurs 40, 21 sont noyés dans la matière de la pièce profilée 19 et, dans la
mesure où celle-ci est électriquement isolante, il n'est pas nécessaire que, dans cette
zone, les conducteurs soient pourvus d'une gaine. Une telle absence de gaine évite
que l'espace (minime) compris entre la gaine et l'âme métallique du conducteur ne
constitue un chemin pour l'humidité. Selon ces schémas, les pièces profilées sont
surmoulées. On peut également utiliser des pièces préfabriquées avec des logements
dans lesquels se trouvent les conducteurs électriques, comme représenté sur les
schémas 3d, 3e, 3f, 3i et 3j. Dans ce cas, il est indispensable que le logement où se
trouve le conducteur soit fermé à ses extrémités, de manière à éviter que l'eau ne
transite par le canal que constitue le logement.The profiled
Au lieu d'être constituées de fils, les liaisons électriques peuvent également
être des couches conductrices 21, comme illustré sur les schémas 3g, 3h, 3i et 3j.
Ces couches peuvent être une pâte d'argent déposée par sérigraphie ou un enduit
conducteur. Selon les schémas 3i et 3j, les couches conductrices 21 sont logées dans
des logements de pièces préfabriquées et collées au vitrage.Instead of being made of wires, electrical connections can also
be
En plus des fils, gainés ou non, et des conducteurs en couches déposés sur la surface du vitrage, on peut également utiliser des tresses 41 (schéma 3b).In addition to the wires, sheathed or not, and layered conductors deposited on the surface of the glazing, braids 41 can also be used (diagram 3b).
Sur la figure 4, les pièces profilées 19 qui constituent l'élément
complémentaire de l'invention sont en deux parties, une embase 22 et un couvercle
42. L'embase peut comporter des ergots 23 destinés à coopérer avec les formes
complémentaires 24 du couvercle 42. L'embase est fixée ici par collage sur le vitrage

ici aussi isolée des espaces intérieurs et extérieurs (ou au moins de l'un des deux),
c'est pourquoi aux extrémités (ou à l'une d'elles), l'espace où se trouve le conducteur
est clos.The part of
Le fait que la pièce 19 soit en deux parties permet de séparer les fonctions,
l'embase maintient en place la partie de conducteur électrique qui la traverse, le
couvercle avec une forme extérieure adaptée, permet un raccordement avec le joint
périphérique du vitrage en élastomère qui soit parfaitement étanche.The fact that the
La figure 5 représente, plus en détail, un type de liaison électrique au niveau du passage de la zone d'étanchéité à la zone hors étanchéité.FIG. 5 represents, in more detail, a type of electrical connection at the level the passage from the sealing zone to the non-sealing zone.
Lorsque les liaisons électriques sont des câbles conducteurs, ces derniers ne conviennent pas pour le passage d'une zone à l'autre. En effet, ils possèdent en général une épaisseur relativement importante. Par ailleurs, leur surface de contact relativement étroite avec le vitrage entraíne un risque de mauvais positionnement pouvant notamment altérer l'étanchéité du passage d'une zone à l'autre. When the electrical connections are conductive cables, the latter do not not suitable for moving from one zone to another. Indeed, they have in generally a relatively large thickness. Furthermore, their contact surface relatively narrow with the glazing leads to a risk of incorrect positioning can in particular affect the tightness of the passage from one zone to another.
C'est pourquoi, il est préférable que la liaison au niveau dudit passage soit de faible épaisseur. Il s'agit, par exemple, d'une couche conductrice, un clinquant, une barrette en cuivre ou une plaquette en matériau conducteur.This is why, it is preferable that the connection at the level of said passage is of thin. It is, for example, a conductive layer, a foil, a copper strip or a plate of conductive material.
Le schéma 5a représente une partie du conducteur électrique 26 constitué
d'une pâte à base d'argent déposée, par exemple, par sérigraphie. Les câbles 27 sont,
par exemple, connectés par soudure à la pâte d'argent.Diagram 5a represents part of the
Le schéma 5b représente une partie de conducteur électrique 28 constitué
d'une pâte à base d'argent sur laquelle sont soudés des clinquants métalliques 29, les
câbles 27 étant reliés électriquement à cet ensemble. Ce dispositif permet,
notamment, d'augmenter la puissance électrique au niveau de la liaison assurant le
passage d'une zone à l'autre.Diagram 5b represents a part of
La figure 6 représente une variante avantageuse de l'invention. On voit en 30
un joint en élastomère qui est fixé à la périphérie du vitrage. Il possède une lèvre 31
qui peut avoir plusieurs fonctions. L'une d'elles est de boucher l'interstice entre le
vitrage 2 et la carrosserie 32. Avantageusement, ce joint est un profilé en élastomère
auto-adhésif qui est conçu de manière à incorporer des câbles conducteurs 43. La
fixation du profilé au vitrage se fait sur la tranche et l'une et/ou l'autre face en
bordure du vitrage, des espaces étant ménagés à l'intérieur de ce profilé pour le
logement de ces liaisons. Les câbles 43 sont reliés à la partie de conducteur 35
constituée d'une plaque de matière souple conductrice par l'intermédiaire d'un
connecteur électrique 34. Les fils électriques reliés à l'élément utilisateur de la
liaison, comme source (antenne par exemple) ou comme consommateur de courant
(feu stop par exemple) ne sont pas représentés sur la figure, ils sont soudés à la
plaque de matière souple conductrice 35. Cette plaque est isolée électriquement et
l'ensemble est rendu étanche grâce à la partie 37 localisée du joint, cette pièce
profilée est obtenue avantageusement à l'aide d'une fuite organisée de la matière
plastique constituant le profil 30.FIG. 6 represents an advantageous variant of the invention. We see in 30
an elastomer seal which is fixed to the periphery of the glazing. He has a
Sur la figure 6, on voit en 44 un mastic de pose qui est collé à la fois au joint
en élastomère 30 et à la carrosserie 32. Il assure l'étanchéité entre l'extérieur et
l'intérieur du véhicule. Cette étanchéité est maintenue au niveau de la liaison
électrique, grâce à la technique de l'invention.In FIG. 6, we see at 44 a laying putty which is glued both to the joint
made of
La figure 7 représente une autre variante de l'invention selon laquelle le
conducteur électrique 1 est constitué uniquement d'une bande collectrice à base de
pâte d'argent déposée par sérigraphie. Cette bande assure l'alimentation électrique
de l'élément 38 en le reliant à une source d'alimentation non représentée. La bande
collectrice est située, à la fois, à l'extérieur et à l'intérieur de la zone d'étanchéité
délimitée par le joint 3, tout en assurant le passage de l'électricité d'une zone à
l'autre. Une pièce profilée 39 assure une partie de l'étanchéité de cette bande. Elle
possède, de préférence, un moyen pour faciliter le montage du vitrage dans la baie
de carrosserie, notamment une lèvre 31, telle que représentée sur la figure 5. La
bande collectrice peut être totalement protégée des sollicitations extérieures par la
pièce 39. Elle peut également, comme représenté, déborder de la pièce. La partie qui
déborde peut alors être recouverte d'un enduit assurant son étanchéité. Il s'agit d'un
enduit essentiellement organique, à base d'un polymère ou d'un copolymère à base
d'une résine du type polyuréthane, acrylique ou cationique. Cet enduit est, par
exemple, celui décrit dans la demande de brevet FR 93/09595 non encore publiée.FIG. 7 represents another variant of the invention according to which the
Le vitrage qui vient d'être décrit présente de nombreux avantages. La technique pour le réaliser est très industrielle, elle permet à la fois de fixer les câbles au niveau de la liaison et d'assurer celle-ci de manière parfaitement étanche et cela, que l'étanchéité vitrage-carrosserie soit obtenue par collage (figure 6) ou à l'aide d'un joint en élastomère plaqué sur le vitrage ou sur la carrosserie tandis qu'il est collé sur l'autre.The glazing which has just been described has many advantages. The technique to achieve it is very industrial, it allows both to fix the cables at the level of the connection and ensuring that it is perfectly sealed and this, that the glazing-bodywork sealing is obtained by gluing (Figure 6) or using a elastomer gasket plated on the glazing or on the body while it is glued on the other.
