Description

La présente invention concerne un agencement pour la commande d'une serrure, équipant un véhicule automobile, au moyen d'un verrou.The present invention relates to an arrangement for controlling a lock fitted to a motor vehicle, by means of a lock.

L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un agencement pour la transmission mécanique d'un mouvement de rotation entre un organe rotatif de sortie, appartenant à un verrou d'un véhicule automobile, et un organe rotatif d'entrée, dont l'axe de rotation n'est pas coaxial à celui de l'organe de sortie, appartenant à un mécanisme d'une serrure, au moyen d'un arbre de transmission.The invention relates more particularly to a arrangement for mechanical transmission of a movement of rotation between a rotary output member, belonging to a lock of a motor vehicle, and a rotary input member, whose axis of rotation is not coaxial with that of the outlet, belonging to a mechanism of a lock, by means a transmission shaft.

Compte tenu des difficultés d'agencement du verrou et du mécanisme de serrure associés, par exemple dans une porte de véhicule automobile, et notamment en fonction de la place disponible et de l'encombrement résultant des autres équipements de la porte, il est souvent nécessaire que la transmission de mouvement entre le rotor du verrou, ou tout autre organe rotatif de sortie de ce dernier, et un organe d'entrée du mécanisme de serrure puisse être assurée au moyen d'un élément intermédiaire de transmission qui peut être une tringlerie et, de préférence, un arbre de transmission de conception simple et permettant l'entraínement angulaire sans jeu du mécanisme de serrure auquel il peut transmettre des couples relativement importants.Given the difficulties in arranging the lock and associated lock mechanism, for example in a motor vehicle door, and in particular depending on the available space and congestion resulting from others door equipment it is often necessary that the transmission of movement between the lock rotor, or any other rotary output member thereof, and a member entry mechanism can be ensured at by means of an intermediate transmission element which can be a linkage and preferably a drive shaft simple design and allowing angular drive without play of the lock mechanism to which it can transmit relatively large couples.

Ces difficultés imposent de pouvoir transmettre le mouvement entre deux organes rotatifs dont les axes ne sont pas alignés ni même parallèles, ces défauts géométriques étant de plus variables en fonction des tolérances de fabrication et d'assemblage des différents éléments.These difficulties make it necessary to be able to transmit the movement between two rotary members whose axes are not not aligned or even parallel, these geometric defects being more variable according to the tolerances of manufacture and assembly of the different elements.

Afin de remédier à ces inconvénients, il a déjà été proposé un agencement dans lequel chacune des deux extrémités opposées de l'arbre de transmission, avant et arrière, est liée en rotation à l'un des deux organes rotatifs, de sortie et d'entrée respectivement, par un joint de transmission articulé autorisant un déplacement angulaire relatif entre l'axe de l'arbre de transmission et l'axe de rotation de l'organe rotatif correspondant, ainsi qu'un déplacement axial relatif.In order to remedy these drawbacks, it has already been proposed an arrangement in which each of the two opposite ends of the drive shaft, front and rear, is linked in rotation to one of the two rotary members, output and input respectively, by a transmission joint articulated allowing relative angular displacement between the axis of the drive shaft and the axis of rotation of the member corresponding rotary, as well as a relative axial displacement.

Un tel déplacement axial relatif de l'arbre de transmission par rapport aux organes de sortie et d'entrée est d'une part générateur de bruits et d'usure et, d'autre part, il ne permet pas de monter l'arbre de transmission "en aveugle" par rapport à la serrure.Such relative axial displacement of the shaft of transmission with respect to the output and input devices is on the one hand generating noise and wear and, on the other hand, it does not not possible to mount the drive shaft "blind" by compared to the lock.

Afin de remédier à ces inconvénients, l'invention propose un agencement pour la transmission mécanique d'un mouvement de rotation entre un organe rotatif de sortie, appartenant à un verrou d'un véhicule automobile, et un organe rotatif d'entrée dont l'axe de rotation n'est pas coaxial à celui de l'organe de sortie, appartenant à un mécanisme d'une serrure, au moyen d'un arbre de transmission, du type dans lequel chacune des deux extrémités opposées de l'arbre de transmission, avant et arrière, est liée en rotation à l'un des deux organes rotatifs, de sortie et d'entrée respectivement, par un joint de transmission articulé autorisant un défaut d'alignement relatif entre l'axe de l'arbre de transmission et l'axe de rotation de l'organe rotatif correspondant, caractérisé en ce que le joint de transmission avant est un joint de Cardan de manière que l'arbre de transmission soit immobilisé longitudinalement par rapport à l'organe rotatif de sortie.In order to remedy these drawbacks, the invention proposes an arrangement for the mechanical transmission of a rotational movement between a rotary output member, belonging to a lock of a motor vehicle, and a rotary input device whose axis of rotation is not coaxial to that of the output member, belonging to a mechanism a lock, by means of a drive shaft, of the type wherein each of the two opposite ends of the shaft transmission, front and rear, is linked in rotation to one of the two rotary members, output and input respectively, by an articulated transmission joint authorizing a fault relative alignment between the axis of the propeller shaft and the axis of rotation of the corresponding rotary member, characterized in that the front transmission joint is a universal joint so that the drive shaft is immobilized longitudinally with respect to the rotary outlet member.

L'agencement 10 illustré à la figure 1 comporte un verrou 12 dont on a représenté seulement un stator 14, qui est par exemple destiné à équiper une porte de véhicule automobile, et son organe rotatif de sortie 16 qui est monté à rotation dans le stator 14 autour d'un axe A1.The arrangement 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a latch 12 of which only a stator 14 has been shown, which is for example intended to equip a vehicle door automobile, and its rotary output member 16 which is mounted at rotation in the stator 14 about an axis A1.

Comme on peut le voir à la figure 2, l'organe de sortie rotatif 16 est lié axialement à un élément interne 18 par un anneau élastique 20, ou circlips, reçu radialement dans une gorge 22.As can be seen in Figure 2, the output member rotary 16 is axially linked to an internal element 18 by a elastic ring 20, or circlips, received radially in a throat 22.

Le verrou 12 est destiné à entraíner en rotation un mécanisme de serrure dont on a représenté schématiquement un organe rotatif 24 d'entrée de mouvement qui est prévu pour tourner par rapport à un boítier de serrure non représenté sur les figures, autour d'un axe de rotation A3.The lock 12 is intended to rotate a lock mechanism which is shown schematically a rotary member 24 for movement input which is provided for turn relative to a lock case not shown on the figures, around an axis of rotation A3.

Conformément aux enseignements de l'invention, la transmission de mouvement entre l'organe rotatif de sortie 16 et l'organe rotatif d'entrée 24 est assurée au moyen d'un arbre de transmission 26, d'axe longitudinal A2, dont les deux extrémités longitudinales opposées, avant 28 et arrière 30, sont respectivement liées en rotation à l'organe de sortie 16 et à l'organe d'entrée 24 chacune par un joint de transmission articulé autorisant un défaut d'alignement entre l'axe A2 de l'arbre de transmission 26 et l'axe de rotation A1, A3 de l'organe rotatif correspondant 16, 24.In accordance with the teachings of the invention, the transmission of movement between the rotary output member 16 and the rotary input member 24 is ensured by means of a shaft transmission 26, of longitudinal axis A2, both of which opposite longitudinal ends, front 28 and rear 30, are respectively linked in rotation to the output member 16 and to the input member 24 each by a transmission joint articulated allowing a misalignment between the axis A2 of the transmission shaft 26 and the axis of rotation A1, A3 of the corresponding rotary member 16, 24.

Le joint articulé de transmission agencé à l'extrémité arrière 30 est constitué pour l'essentiel par une sphère d'articulation 32 qui comporte deux bras radiaux diamétralement opposés 34 qui s'étendent vers l'extérieur, cet ensemble étant reçu dans l'extrémité tubulaire ouverte 36 en vis-à-vis de l'organe rotatif d'entrée 24 dont le logement interne cylindrique 38 est complémentaire des dimensions de la sphère 32 et qui comporte deux fentes axiales débouchantes 40 qui reçoivent en coulissement et en rotation les bras 34. Cette conception connue permet d'introduire axialement, d'avant en arrière, l'extrémité 30 dans l'organe 24.The articulated transmission joint arranged at the end rear 30 mainly consists of a sphere hinge 32 which has two diametrically radial arms opposites 34 that extend outward, this set being received in the open tubular end 36 opposite the rotary input member 24, the internal cylindrical housing of which 38 is complementary to the dimensions of the sphere 32 and which has two through axial slots 40 which receive sliding and rotating arms 34. This design known makes it possible to introduce axially, from front to back, the end 30 in the member 24.

Conformément aux enseignements de l'invention, le joint de transmission articulé qui relie l'extrémité longitudinale avant 28 de l'arbre de transmission 26 à l'organe rotatif de sortie 16 est un joint articulé de Cardan, c'est-à-dire dont les deux axes sont concourants et qui immobilise longitudinalement les deux composants articulés entre eux autour d'un centre de rotation.In accordance with the teachings of the invention, the articulated transmission joint that connects the longitudinal end front 28 of the drive shaft 26 to the rotary member of outlet 16 is an articulated universal joint, i.e. two axes are concurrent and which immobilizes longitudinally the two components hinged together around a center of rotation.

Le joint de Cardan comporte une sphère d'articulation 42 qui est reçue axialement dans un alésage cylindrique 44 d'axe A1 formé dans un prolongement tubulaire 46 d'extrémité longitudinale arrière de l'organe rotatif de sortie 16.Cardan joint has a hinge sphere 42 which is received axially in a cylindrical bore 44 of axis A1 formed in a tubular extension 46 of the end longitudinal rear of the rotary outlet member 16.

Le joint d'articulation comporte une tige cylindrique d'articulation 48 qui s'étend diamétralement, selon un axe A4 perpendiculaire et concourant à l'axe A1, et qui est monté dans le prolongement tubulaire 46 à la manière d'une goupille diamétrale.The joint joint has a cylindrical rod articulation 48 which extends diametrically, along an axis A4 perpendicular and concurrent to the axis A1, and which is mounted in the tubular extension 46 in the manner of a pin diametral.

La sphère d'articulation comporte un trou circulaire 50 à travers lequel la tige d'articulation 48 s'étend verticalement avec un léger jeu de manière à permettre une rotation relative de la sphère 42 par rapport à la tige d'articulation fixe 48 autour de l'axe A4.The articulation sphere has a circular hole 50 through which the articulation rod 48 extends vertically with slight play so as to allow relative rotation of the sphere 42 relative to the fixed articulation rod 48 around the A4 axis.

Le trou circulaire 50 est agencé dans un plan axial de l'arbre de transmission 26 et dans un plan diamétral de la sphère 42 centrée sur l'axe A2, et il se prolonge verticalement, vers le haut et vers le bas (en considérant les figures 1 et 2), par une fente de guidage supérieure 54 et inférieure 56. The circular hole 50 is arranged in an axial plane of the transmission shaft 26 and in a diametrical plane of the sphere 42 centered on the axis A2, and it extends vertically, up and down (considering Figures 1 and 2), by an upper guide 54 and lower guide slot 56.

Les deux fentes 54 et 56 sont symétriques par rapport au plan vertical médian correspondant au plan de coupe de la figure 2 et par rapport au plan horizontal médian dans lequel s'étend le trou circulaire 50.The two slots 54 and 56 are symmetrical with respect to in the median vertical plane corresponding to the section plane of the Figure 2 and relative to the median horizontal plane in which extends the circular hole 50.

La largeur transversale de chacune des fentes de guidage 54 est, comme on peut le voir notamment sur la figure 3, égale au diamètre du trou 50 et est donc sensiblement égale au diamètre de la tige d'articulation 58.The transverse width of each of the slots guide 54 is, as can be seen in particular in the figure 3, equal to the diameter of the hole 50 and is therefore substantially equal the diameter of the articulation rod 58.

Chacune des deux fentes 54, 56 qui s'étend dans un plan vertical médian de l'arbre de transmission 26 présente un profil évasé s'ouvrant respectivement vers le haut et vers le bas et qui, dans l'exemple illustré sur les figures, est un profil en V.Each of the two slots 54, 56 which extends in a vertical median plane of the drive shaft 26 has a flared profile opening upward and downward respectively bottom and which, in the example illustrated in the figures, is a profile in V.

Grâce à la conception des fentes 54 et 56, la sphère d'articulation 42, et donc l'arbre de transmission 26, peut tourner dans les deux sens autour d'un axe transversal A5 perpendiculaire et concourant à l'axe A4 de la tige d'articulation 48, c'est-à-dire que, globalement, l'extrémité longitudinale avant 28 de l'arbre de transmission 26 est articulé par rapport à l'organe de sortie 16 par un joint de Cardan dont le centre de rotation C, correspondant à l'intersection des axes A4 et A5, correspond au point de concours des axes A1 et A2.Thanks to the design of slots 54 and 56, the sphere articulation 42, and therefore the drive shaft 26, can rotate in both directions around a transverse axis A5 perpendicular and concurrent with the axis A4 of the articulation rod 48, that is to say that, overall, the longitudinal end front 28 of the drive shaft 26 is articulated with respect to to the outlet member 16 by a universal joint whose center of rotation C, corresponding to the intersection of axes A4 and A5, corresponds to the point of competition of axes A1 and A2.

Un ressort faiblement taré 60 d'alignement initial des axes A1 et A2 est agencé autour de l'arbre de transmission 26 entre son extrémité avant 28 et le prolongement tubulaire 46.A lightly calibrated spring 60 for initial alignment of axes A1 and A2 is arranged around the drive shaft 26 between its front end 28 and the tubular extension 46.

Le profil évasé en V des fentes 54, 56 permet un débattement angulaire de l'arbre de transmission 26 autour de l'axe A5 qui est par exemple égal à 30° de part et d'autre de la position alignée illustrée à la figure 2, le débattement angulaire de l'arbre de transmission 26 autour de l'axe A4 étant déterminé par la venue en butée de l'extrémité longitudinale avant 28 contre le bord circulaire qui l'entoure l'extrémité arrière de l'alésage 44.The V-shaped profile of the slots 54, 56 allows a angular movement of the drive shaft 26 around axis A5 which is for example equal to 30 ° on either side of the aligned position illustrated in Figure 2, the travel angle of the drive shaft 26 around the axis A4 being determined by the abutment of the end front longitudinal 28 against the circular edge which surrounds it the rear end of bore 44.

Du fait des dimensions des fentes 54 et 56, dont la largeur transversale selon l'axe A5 est sensiblement égale au diamètre externe de la tige d'articulation 48, il n'existe aucune possibilité de rotation de l'arbre de transmission 26 autour de son axe A2 par rapport à l'organe de sortie 16 et l'extrémité arrière 30 de l'arbre de transmission 26 est ainsi orientée angulairement de manière précise par rapport à l'organe de sortie 16. Cette caractéristique d'indexation angulaire de la sphère d'articulation 32 avec ses bras 34 permet, lors du montage de l'agencement 10 sur un véhicule, et notamment lors de l'introduction axiale en aveugle de l'extrémité arrière 30 dans l'organe rotatif d'entrée 24, d'orienter angulairement ces deux éléments, la position angulaire d'origine de l'organe de sortie 16 par rapport au stator 14 résultant de la conception du verrou 12.Due to the dimensions of the slots 54 and 56, the transverse width along the axis A5 is substantially equal to the external diameter of the articulation rod 48, there is no possibility of rotation of the drive shaft 26 around its axis A2 relative to the outlet member 16 and the end rear 30 of the drive shaft 26 is thus oriented angularly precisely with respect to the organ of output 16. This angular indexing characteristic of the articulation sphere 32 with its arms 34 allows, when mounting the arrangement 10 on a vehicle, and in particular during the axial blind insertion of the rear end 30 in the rotary input member 24, to angularly orient these two elements, the original angular position of the output 16 relative to stator 14 resulting from the design of the lock 12.

On décrira maintenant la variante de réalisation illustrée aux figures 4 à 7.We will now describe the variant embodiment illustrated in Figures 4 to 7.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la sphère d'articulation convexe 42 est guidée en rotation dans une portion de surface sphérique complémentaire concave 62 formée dans l'alésage 44 de l'organe de sortie 16.In this embodiment, the sphere of articulation convex 42 is guided in rotation in a surface portion concave complementary spherical 62 formed in the bore 44 of the output member 16.

Par ailleurs, l'organe de sortie 16 est réalisé en deux parties.Furthermore, the output member 16 is produced in two parts.

Une première partie arrière 16A est une partie dont la conception générale correspond à celle de l'organe de sortie 16 en une seule pièce illustré aux figures 1 et 2 et décrite précédemment.A first rear part 16A is a part whose general design corresponds to that of the output device 16 in a single piece illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 and described previously.

La seconde partie avant 16B est montée tournante par rapport à la partie 16A, autour de l'axe A1, avec une possibilité de débattement angulaire relatif limité. The second front part 16B is rotatably mounted relative to part 16A, around the axis A1, with a possibility of limited relative angular movement.

A cet effet, le bord circulaire d'extrémité longitudinale arrière 64 de la partie avant 16B comporte une patte 66 d'orientation axiale qui est reçue dans une rainure périphérique en arc de cercle 68 formée dans le bord circulaire périphérique 70 en vis-à-vis de la partie avant 16A.For this purpose, the circular edge of the longitudinal end rear 64 of the front part 16B has a tab 66 axially oriented which is received in a groove circular arc device 68 formed in the circular edge peripheral 70 facing the front part 16A.

Les deux extrémités angulaires 72 de la rainure 68, en coopération avec la patte 66, délimitent la course angulaire relative des deux parties 16A et 16B.The two angular ends 72 of the groove 68, in cooperation with tab 66, delimit the angular travel relative of the two parts 16A and 16B.

La partie 16A comporte une fente 74 pour l'introduction radiale de l'anneau élastique 20 qui assure la retenue axiale mutuelle des deux parties 16A et 16B.Part 16A has a slot 74 for the radial introduction of the elastic ring 20 which ensures the mutual axial retention of the two parts 16A and 16B.

Afin d'assurer une orientation angulaire de l'arbre de transmission 26 par rapport à l'organe de sortie 16 en deux parties 16A et 16B, la tige d'articulation 48 constitue une branche verticale d'orientation radiale d'un élément unique 76 en corde à piano pliée.In order to ensure an angular orientation of the shaft transmission 26 with respect to the output member 16 in two parts 16A and 16B, the articulation rod 48 constitutes a vertical branch with radial orientation of a single element 76 in folded piano cord.

Ainsi, la tige d'articulation 48 se prolonge à l'extérieur par une branche 78 d'orientation axiale qui s'étend axialement vers l'avant pour s'étendre à travers une encoche 80 formée dans le bord 70 de la partie arrière 16A pour pénétrer à l'intérieur de la face arrière ouverte de la partie arrière 16B.Thus, the articulation rod 48 extends outside by a branch 78 of axial orientation which extends axially forward to extend through a notch 80 formed in the edge 70 of the rear part 16A to penetrate the interior of the open rear face of the rear part 16B.

Ainsi, la branche axiale 78 peut être reçue dans une encoche ou rainure axiale 82 formée dans la paroi cylindrique annulaire interne 84 de la partie arrière 16B entre deux méplats 86 qui s'étendent selon une corde.Thus, the axial branch 78 can be received in a notch or axial groove 82 formed in the cylindrical wall internal ring 84 of the rear part 16B between two flats 86 which extend along a cord.

Lorsque la branche 78 est dans le cran 82, la partie avant 16B est indexée angulairement par rapport à la partie arrière 16A et l'organe de sortie 16 est ainsi parfaitement indexé angulairement par rapport à l'arbre de transmission 26.When the branch 78 is in the notch 82, the part before 16B is angularly indexed relative to the part rear 16A and the output member 16 is thus perfectly angularly indexed relative to the drive shaft 26.

Du fait de la conception de la pièce 76, la branche axiale 78 est déformable élastiquement selon une direction radiale de manière à permettre son échappement hors de la rainure ou encoche 82 pour permettre une rotation limitée entre les deux parties 16A et 16B.Due to the design of room 76, the industry axial 78 is elastically deformable in one direction radial so as to allow its escape out of the groove or notch 82 to allow limited rotation between the two parts 16A and 16B.
