Description

La présente invention concerne un mécanisme de condamnation-décondamnation d'une porte de véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a mechanism for locking and unlocking of a motor vehicle door.

Les portes des véhicules automobiles comportent généralement chacune un mécanisme de décondamnation comprenant une serrure de verrouillage de la porte et un organe de manoeuvre supporté par un boítier solidaire de la structure de cette porte.Motor vehicle doors have generally each a unlocking mechanism comprising a door lock and a locking device operation supported by a box secured to the structure from this door.

L'organe de manoeuvre est monté pivotant sur le boítier au moyen d'un axe de rotation et est raccordé à ladite serrure par un ensemble de liaison.The operating member is pivotally mounted on the housing by means of a rotation axis and is connected to said lock by a connection assembly.

Généralement, l'ensemble de liaison est formé par une tringle d'actionnement dont une première extrémité est reliée à la serrure et dont une seconde extrémité est reliée à l'organe de manoeuvre par un élément de fixation. Le basculement de cet organe de manoeuvre autour de son axe de rotation provoque la condamnation ou la décondamnation de la porte.Generally, the link assembly is formed by an actuating rod, one end of which is connected to the lock and a second end of which is connected to the operating member by a fixing element. The tilting of this operating member about its axis of rotation causes the condemnation or unlocking of the door.

L'ouverture de cette porte est assurée par une palette qui est elle-même montée pivotante sur un axe de rotation.This door is opened by a pallet which is itself pivotally mounted on an axis of rotation.

L'ensemble de liaison est disposé dans une zone soumise à la poussière, alors que l'organe de manoeuvre est disposé dans une zone propre qui n'est pas soumise à la poussière et il s'avère que, dans la plupart des mécanismes utilisés jusqu'à présent, l'étanchéité entre les deux zones n'est pas efficacement assurée pour toutes les positions de cet organe de manoeuvre.The connection assembly is arranged in an area subject to dust, while the operating member is located in a clean area which is not subject to dust and it turns out that in most mechanisms used until now, the seal between the two zones is not effectively insured for all positions of this operating member.

L'invention a pour but d'apporter une solution aux problèmes mentionnés précédemment en proposant un mécanisme de condamnation-décondamnation d'une porte de véhicule simple, économique et adaptable à tout type de porte de véhicule. The invention aims to provide a solution to the problems mentioned above by proposing a mechanism locking and unlocking a vehicle door simple, economical and adaptable to any type of vehicle door.

L'invention a donc pour objet un mécanisme de condamnation-décondamnation d'une porte de véhicule automobile, du type comprenant une serrure de verrouillage de la porte et un boítier solidaire de la structure de cette porte supportant un organe de manoeuvre monté pivotant sur le boítier au moyen d'un axe de rotation et raccordé à ladite serrure par un ensemble liaison, caractérisé en ce que l'ensemble de liaison est formé par une tringle d'actionnement reliée, d'une part, à la serrure et, d'autre part, à une première extrémité d'un levier monté pivotant sur l'axe de rotation et dont une seconde extrémité traverse le boítier par une ouverture et est reliée à un organe de manoeuvre par un assemblage par emboítement.The subject of the invention is therefore a mechanism for locking and unlocking of a motor vehicle door, of the type comprising a lock for locking the door and a box secured to the structure of this door supporting an operating member pivotally mounted on the housing by means of a rotation axis and connected to said lock by a connection assembly, characterized in that the assembly link is formed by a connected actuating rod, on the one hand, to the lock and, on the other hand, to a first end of a lever pivotally mounted on the axis of rotation and a second end of which crosses the housing by an opening and is connected to an operating member by a interlocking assembly.

Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention :

  • le bord externe de l'extrémité de l'organe de manoeuvre relié au levier est en contact permanent avec les rebords de l'ouverture du boítier pour toutes les positions dudit organe de manoeuvre,
  • l'assemblage par emboítement entre le levier et l'organe de manoeuvre est formé par un tenon ménagé à l'extrémité dudit levier et par une mortaise ménagée à l'extrémité correspondante dudit organe de manoeuvre,
  • l'axe de rotation est sensiblement et orthogonal à la direction longitudinale de la tringle d'actionnement,
  • l'axe de rotation supporte une palette de commande de la serrure.
According to other characteristics of the invention:
  • the outer edge of the end of the operating member connected to the lever is in permanent contact with the edges of the opening of the housing for all the positions of said operating member,
  • the assembly by interlocking between the lever and the operating member is formed by a tenon formed at the end of said lever and by a mortise formed at the corresponding end of said operating member,
  • the axis of rotation is substantially and orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the actuating rod,
  • the axis of rotation supports a control palette for the lock.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :

  • la Fig. 1 est une vue schématique avec arrachement partiel de la face interne d'une porte d'un véhicule automobile munie d'un mécanisme de condamnation-décondamnation conforme à l'invention,
  • la Fig. 2 est une vue schématique en coupe selon la ligne 2-2 de la Fig. 1 montrant le mécanisme en position de condamnation,
  • la Fig. 3 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne 2-2 de la Fig. 1 montrant le mécanisme en position de décondamnation,
  • la Fig. 4 est une vue schématique en coupe selon la ligne 4-4 de la Fig. 1.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic view with partial cutaway of the internal face of a door of a motor vehicle provided with a locking-unlocking mechanism according to the invention,
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic sectional view along line 2-2 of FIG. 1 showing the mechanism in the locked position,
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional view along line 2-2 of FIG. 1 showing the mechanism in the unlocked position,
  • Fig. 4 is a schematic sectional view along line 4-4 of FIG. 1.

Sur la Fig. 1, on a représenté schématiquement la face interne d'une porte et par exemple d'une porte arrière 1 d'un véhicule automobile, équipée près de son extrémité arrière d'une serrure de verrouillage 2 de ladite porte 1.In Fig. 1, there is shown schematically the internal face of a door and for example of a rear door 1 of a motor vehicle, fitted near its end rear of a lock lock 2 of said door 1.

Cette porte 1 est également équipée d'un mécanisme de condamnation-décondamnation qui comporte un boítier désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 10 et qui supporte un organe de manoeuvre 11 pour assurer la condamnation ou la décondamnation de la porte 1 ainsi qu'une palette 12 d'ouverture de ladite porte 1 reliée elle-même par une tringlerie classique, non représentée, à la serrure 2. La palette 12 est rappelée contre le boítier 10 par un ressort de rappel 12a.This door 1 is also equipped with a mechanism of condemnation-unlocking which includes a case designated as a whole by the reference 10 and which supports an operating member 11 for securing the locking or unlocking door 1 and a pallet 12 opening of said door 1 itself connected by a linkage classic, not shown, with lock 2. The palette 12 is biased against the housing 10 by a spring reminder 12a.

Ainsi que représenté sur les Figs. 2 à 4, l'organe de manoeuvre 11 est monté pivotant sur le boítier 10 au moyen d'un axe de rotation 13 et est relié à la serrure 2 par un ensemble de liaison qui est formé par une tringle d'actionnement 14 et par un levier 15.As shown in Figs. 2 to 4, the organ 11 is pivotally mounted on the housing 10 at by means of a rotation axis 13 and is connected to lock 2 by a connection assembly which is formed by a rod actuation 14 and by a lever 15.

La tringle d'actionnement 14 a une première extrémité 14a reliée à la serrure 2 et une seconde extrémité 14b reliée à une extrémité 15a du levier 15 tandis que l'autre extrémité 15b dudit levier 15 est montée pivotante sur l'axe de rotation 13.The actuating rod 14 has a first end 14a connected to lock 2 and a second end 14b connected to one end 15a of the lever 15 while the other end 15b of said lever 15 is pivotally mounted on the axis of rotation 13.

La seconde extrémité 15b du levier 15 traverse le boítier 10 par une ouverture 16 et est reliée à l'organe de manoeuvre 11 par un assemblage par emboítement.The second end 15b of the lever 15 crosses the housing 10 through an opening 16 and is connected to the body of operation 11 by an interlocking assembly.

Comme représenté sur les Figs. 2 à 4, l'assemblage par emboítement entre le levier 15 et l'organe de manoeuvre 11 est formé par un tenon 20 ménagé à l'extrémité 15b du levier 15 et par une mortaise 21 ménagée à l'extrémité correspondante dudit organe de manoeuvre 11, le tenon 20 étant verrouillé dans la mortaise 21 par l'axe de rotation 13 qui traverse le levier 15 et l'organe de manoeuvre 11.As shown in Figs. 2 to 4, the assembly by interlocking between the lever 15 and the operating member 11 is formed by a tenon 20 formed at the end 15b lever 15 and a mortise 21 formed at the end corresponding to said operating member 11, the lug 20 being locked in mortise 21 by the axis of rotation 13 which passes through the lever 15 and the operating member 11.

L'organe de manoeuvre 11 passe de la position de condamnation de la porte 1, représentée à la Fig. 2, à la position de décondamnation de ladite porte 1, représentée à la Fig. 3, par basculement autour de l'axe 13.The operating member 11 passes from the position of door 1, shown in FIG. 2, at the unlocking position of said door 1, shown at Fig. 3, by tilting around the axis 13.

Lors de ce basculement, l'organe de manoeuvre 11 actionne la serrure 2 par l'intermédiaire du levier 15 et de la tringle d'actionnement 14.During this tilting, the operating member 11 operates lock 2 via lever 15 and the actuating rod 14.

De préférence, le boítier 10 est fixé sur une doublure la de porte et l'organe de manoeuvre 11 ainsi que l'extrémité 15b du levier 15 sont disposés à l'extérieur de la doublure la, c'est à dire dans une zone propre qui n'est pas soumise à la poussière, tandis que l'autre extrémité 15a du levier 15 et la tringlerie de raccordement 14 sont situées entre la face interne de la doublure la et le panneau externe de la porte 1, c'est à dire dans une zone soumise à la poussière.Preferably, the housing 10 is fixed on a lining the door and the operating member 11 as well as the end 15b of the lever 15 are arranged outside of the lining la, i.e. in a clean area which is not not subject to dust, while the other end 15a lever 15 and connecting linkage 14 are located between the internal face of the lining la and the panel external of door 1, i.e. in an area subject to dust.

Pour assurer l'étanchéité entre ces deux zones, le bord externe de l'extrémité de l'organe de manoeuvre 11 est en contact permanent avec les rebords de l'ouverture 16 du boítier 10 pour toutes les positions dudit organe de manoeuvre, ainsi que représenté sur les Figs. 2 à 4. To seal between these two areas, the outer edge of the end of the operating member 11 is in permanent contact with the edges of the opening 16 of the housing 10 for all the positions of said operating member, as shown in Figs. 2 to 4.

L'axe de rotation 13 est sensiblement orthogonal à la direction longitudinale de la tringle d'actionnement 14 et cet axe de rotation 13 supporte également la palette 12 de commande d'ouverture de la porte 1 par l'intermédiaire de la serrure 2.The axis of rotation 13 is substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the actuating rod 14 and this axis of rotation 13 also supports the pallet 12 for controlling the opening of door 1 via lock 2.

Le montage des différents éléments composant le mécanisme de condamnation-décondamnation est réalisé de la façon suivante.The assembly of the various elements composing the locking-unlocking mechanism is carried out from the next way.

Tout d'abord, le ressort de rappel 12a de la palette 12 est positionné dans ladite palette et cet ensemble est ensuite placé dans le boítier 10. L'organe de manoeuvre 11 est mis en place dans l'ouverture 16 ménagée sur le boítier 10 et le levier 15 est mis en place en introduisant le tenon 20 de ce levier 15 dans la mortaise 21 de l'organe de manoeuvre 11.First, the return spring 12a of the pallet 12 is positioned in said pallet and this set is then placed in the housing 10. The operating member 11 is placed in the opening 16 formed on the housing 10 and the lever 15 is put in place by introducing the tenon 20 of this lever 15 in the mortise 21 of the operation 11.

Cet organe de manoeuvre 11 ainsi que le levier 15 sont solidaires l'un de l'autre du fait que le levier 15 est maintenu serré dans l'organe de manoeuvre 11 et que cet organe de manoeuvre 11 est maintenu dans l'ouverture 16.This operating member 11 as well as the lever 15 are integral with each other because the lever 15 is kept tight in the operating member 11 and that this member 11 is maintained in the opening 16.

Ce prémaintien permet de simplifier les moyens d'assemblage.This premaint allows to simplify the means assembly.

Ensuite, l'axe de rotation 13 est mis en place, ce qui permet de verrouiller la liaison entre l'organe de manoeuvre 11 et le levier 15 et cet axe de rotation 13 est commun à la palette 12 et audit organe de manoeuvre 11.Then, the axis of rotation 13 is put in place, which allows to lock the connection between the operation 11 and lever 15 and this axis of rotation 13 is common to the pallet 12 and to said operating member 11.

Le mécanisme de condamnation-décondamnation selon l'invention présente l'avantage d'assurer une étanchéité efficace au niveau de l'organe de manoeuvre de ce mécanisme et cela pour toutes les positions dudit organe de manoeuvre.The locking-unlocking mechanism according to the invention has the advantage of ensuring a seal effective at the level of the operating member of this mechanism and this for all the positions of said operating member.
