Description
La présente invention concerne une clef et un procédé de réalisation d'une telle clef. Plus particulièrement cette clef est adaptée pour commander l'ouverture et / ou la fermeture des portes d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a key and a method of making of such a key. More particularly this key is suitable for ordering opening and / or closing the doors of a motor vehicle.
Il est déjà connu des clefs, munies d'un dispositif de télécommande à infrarouge par exemple, adaptées pour télécommander l'ouverture des portes d'un véhicule automobile. Généralement de telles clefs sont réalisées par l'assemblage de deux demi-coques contenant un dispositif électronique de commande à distance et un panneton.Keys are already known, provided with a remote control device infrared for example, suitable for remotely controlling the opening of doors of a motor vehicle. Generally such keys are made by the assembly of two half-shells containing an electronic device for remote control and a bit.
Le dispositif de commande à distance comporte, entre autres, une diode électroluminescente adaptée pour servir de témoin de bon fonctionnement et une diode d'émission du signal infrarouge. L'étanchéité des demi-coques et de la diode émettrice est assurée par des joints d'étanchéité spécifiques, insérés aux endroits appropriés.The remote control device comprises, inter alia, a diode electroluminescent adapted to serve as a witness to correct operation and an infrared signal emission diode. The tightness of the half-shells and the emitting diode is ensured by specific seals, inserted where appropriate.
De manière connue, le dispositif de commande à distance est actionné, entre autres, par pression sur un organe déformable inséré dans une des demi-coques. Ainsi en pressant le boítier au niveau de l'organe déformable, on provoque le fonctionnement du dispositif de télécommande et donc l'ouverture des portes du véhicule.In known manner, the remote control device is actuated, inter alia, by pressure on a deformable member inserted in one of the half-shells. So by pressing the housing at the deformable member, we causes the remote control device to operate and therefore the opening vehicle doors.
Un tel boítier de clef est ainsi constitué de deux demi-coques, d'un dispositif de commande, de plusieurs joints d'étanchéité et d'un organe déformable. Le nombre relativement important de petites pièces à placer dans ce type de boítier rend son procédé de fabrication long, délicat et onéreux.Such a key case thus consists of two half-shells, a control device, several seals and a member deformable. The relatively large number of small parts to be placed in this type of housing makes its manufacturing process long, delicate and expensive.
Il est déjà connu du document FR 2 606 316 de réaliser un boítier de télécommande de moteur électrique en deux parties. Une touche permettant la mise en marche à distance du moteur électrique est prévue sur l'une des parties du boítier. Cette touche est munie d'une collerette étanche, faisant partie intégrante de la touche. De ce fait l'étanchéitié de la touche est réalisée par la touche elle-même et non par un joint rapporté. Ceci permet de réduire le nombre de pièces présentent dans le boítier. Néanmoins, dans ce document l'étanchéité des deux parties du boítier est réalisée par un joint spécifique supplémentaire, ainsi que l'étanchéité de toute autre partie du boítier. Dans tout ce document l'étanchéité est assurée de manière classique par des joint standards.It is already known from document FR 2 606 316 to produce a housing for two-part electric motor remote control. A key allowing the remote start of the electric motor is provided on one of the parts of the housing. This button has a waterproof collar, making integral part of the button. As a result, the key is sealed by the key itself and not by an attached gasket. This reduces the number of parts present in the case. However, in this document the two parts of the housing are sealed by a specific seal additional, as well as the sealing of any other part of the housing. In all this document sealing is ensured in a conventional manner by seals standards.
L'objet de la présente invention est de réduire au minimum le nombre de pièces à assembler pour réaliser une telle clef. On cherche aussi à diminuer les coûts et le temps de fabrication.The object of the present invention is to minimize the number of parts to assemble to achieve such a key. We also seek to decrease manufacturing costs and time.
A cet effet la présente invention concerne une clef munie d'un dispositif de commande adapté pour commander à distance l'ouverture et / ou la fermeture des portes d'un véhicule automobile. Cette clef est constituée d'un panneton et de deux demi-coques adaptées pour loger entre elles le dispositif de commande et un joint d'étanchéité. Le dispositif de commande est du type comportant une pluralité de composants électroniques, une diode émettrice et un interrupteur actionné par un organe déformable solidaire d'au moins une des demi-coques. La clef, selon l'invention se caractérise en ce que l'organe déformable et le joint d'étanchéité sont réalisés de manière solidaire en un matériau unique et en ce que le dit joint réalise également l'étanchéité de la diode émettrice.To this end the present invention relates to a key provided with a device control adapted to remotely control the opening and / or the closing the doors of a motor vehicle. This key consists of a bit and two half-shells adapted to accommodate the device between them and a seal. The control device is of the type comprising a plurality of electronic components, a transmitting diode and a switch actuated by a deformable member secured to at least one half-shells. The key according to the invention is characterized in that the organ deformable and the seal are made integrally in one unique material and in that the said joint also achieves the sealing of the emitting diode.
Grâce à cette disposition, tous les petits éléments nécessaires à la réalisation d'une clef sont solidaires les uns des autres, ce qui diminue le nombre de pièces à insérer dans le boítier de clef. En outre avantageusement, le même matériau constitue l'organe déformable et le joint d'étanchéité. Thanks to this arrangement, all the small elements necessary for the realization of a key are integral with each other, which reduces the number of pieces to insert in the key box. Furthermore advantageously, the same material constitutes the deformable member and the seal.
Avantageusement ce matériau est déposé par surmoulage sur une seule des deux demi-coques. Une telle dépose par surmoulage est facile à réaliser et peu onéreuse. Le nombre d'étapes nécessaires à la fabrication de cette clef est ainsi notablement réduit.Advantageously, this material is deposited by overmolding on a single of the two half-shells. Such removal by molding is easy to perform and inexpensive. The number of steps required to manufacture this key is thus significantly reduced.
La présente invention s'étend également à un procédé de fabrication d'une telle clef:The present invention also extends to a method of manufacturing a such key:
D'autres objets, caractéristiques et avantages, de la présente invention ressortiront d'ailleurs de la description qui suit à titre d'exemple non limitatif et en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:
- la figure 1 est une vue en éclatée et en perspective montrant une clef selon l'invention,
- les figures 2a et 2b sont des vues en perspective de la demi-coque supérieure respectivement selon une vue de dessus, et une vue de dessous et,
- la figure 3 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne III - III de la figure 2b.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded and perspective view showing a key according to the invention,
- FIGS. 2a and 2b are perspective views of the upper half-shell respectively according to a top view, and a bottom view and,
- Figure 3 is a sectional view along line III - III of Figure 2b.
Selon la forme de réalisation représentée aux figures 1 à 3, la clef 10 selon l'invention comporte:
- deux demi-coques dites, inférieure 11 a et, supérieure 11 b,
- un dispositif électronique de
télécommande 12 de l'ouverture et / ou de la fermeture des portes d'un véhicule et, - un
panneton 13 de clef.
- two said half-shells, lower 11 a and, upper 11 b,
- an electronic
remote control device 12 for opening and / or closing the doors of a vehicle and, - a
key bit 13.
Le dispositif de télécommande 12 se compose essentiellement d'un certain
nombre de composants électroniques 14 de types connus, d'une diode émettrice
infrarouge 15, d'un interrupteur 16, de supports 17 et d'une diode
électroluminescente 21.The
Comme on le voit mieux aux figures 2a et 2b le centre de la demi-coque
supérieure 11b est obturé par un organe déformable 18. De manière connue
lorsque l'utilisateur exerce une pression sur cet organe déformable, il actionne
l'interrupteur 16 placé à l'aplomb de cet organe. De ce fait un code est émis par la
diode émettrice 15 de telle sorte que la serrure d'automobile correspondant à
cette clef soit actionnée. Le principe de fonctionnement de l'ouverture et de la
fermeture des portes d'un véhicule est par ailleurs bien connu en soi et ne sera
pas décrit ici.As best seen in Figures 2a and 2b the center of the half-shell
upper 11b is closed by a
Le joint d'étanchéité 19 assurant l'étanchéité des demi-coques, l'une par
rapport à l'autre, s'étend sur toute la périphérie de la coque supérieure 11 b. Ce
joint d'étanchéité assure également l'étanchéité de la diode 15. A cet effet le joint
19 présente une extension annulaire 19a, adaptée pour entourer la diode
émettrice 15 et ainsi la rendre étanche. Ce joint 19 assure également l'étanchéité
de la diode électroluminescente 21. The
En effet, cette diode 21 est adaptée pour rayonner vers l'extérieur de la
demi-coque supérieure 11b, grâce à un voyant 22. Ce voyant est complètement
entouré par le joint 19 qui présente à cet effet une partie annulaire 19b.In fact, this
Selon l'invention l'organe déformable 18 et le joint d'étanchéité 19, ne
forme qu'une seule pièce et sont réalisés de manière monobloc par surmoulage.According to the invention the
Avantageusement, ce surmoulage est réalisé dans une seule des demi-coques (11b dans l'exemple représenté).Advantageously, this overmolding is carried out in only one of the half-shells (11b in the example shown).
Le matériau servant à réaliser l'ensemble de l'organe déformable et du joint est par exemple un élastomère.The material used to make the entire deformable member and the seal is for example an elastomer.
Lorsque le surmoulage de l'organe déformable et du joint est réalisé il suffit
de placer le dispositif de commande à distance 12 dans les deux demi-coques.
d'insérer le panneton 13, de refermer et de solidariser l'ensemble, pour réaliser la
clef selon la présente invention.When the molding of the deformable member and of the seal is achieved, it suffices
placing the
On notera que le nombre de pièces nécessaires à la réalisation de la clef selon l'invention est notablement réduit par rapport aux clefs existantes. En outre le procédé de fabrication est simple et comporte peu d'étapes..It will be noted that the number of parts necessary for the realization of the key according to the invention is significantly reduced compared to existing keys. In addition the manufacturing process is simple and has few steps.
On notera également que l'organe déformable 18 présente une large collerette annulaire 20 assurant l'étanchéité entre lui même et le boítier. Ainsi le matériau surmoulé dans la demi-coque supérieure 11 b réalise en même temps les fonctions suivantes:
- actionnement (18) de l'interrupteur 16,
- étanchéité (19) des demi-coques l'une par rapport à l'autre,
- étanchéité (19a) de la diode émettrice 15,
- étanchéité (19b) du voyant de la
diode électroluminescente 21, et - étanchéité (20) de l'organe déformable 18, par rapport à la demi-
coque 11b.
- actuation (18) of
switch 16, - sealing (19) of the half-shells relative to each other,
- sealing (19a) of the emitting
diode 15, - sealing (19b) of the
light emitting diode 21 indicator, and - sealing (20) of the
deformable member 18, relative to the half-shell 11b.
Bien entendu la présente invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation précédemment décrit. Notamment la réalisation du surmoulage peut être effectuée dans l'une quelconque des deux demi-coques, voire sur les deux.Of course the present invention is not limited to the embodiment previously described. In particular, the production of overmolding can be performed in any one of the two half-shells, or even on both.
