Description

"Agencement pour la structure d'une partie avant de caisse d'un véhicule automobile" "Arrangement for the structure of a front body part of a motor vehicle"
L'invention concerne un agencement pour la structure d'une partie avant de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un agencement pour la structure d'une partie avant de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile qui comporte, d'avant en arrière, un compartiment moteur qui est fermé par un capot, qui est séparé de l'habitacle du véhicule par un tablier sensiblement transversai dont une partie supérieure comporte, d'avant en arrière, une gouttière transversale d'auvent, et une traverse inférieure de baie, du type dans lequel la gouttière transversale d'auvent, en section longitudinale présente sensiblement la forme d'un U dont la branche avant affleure sous le capot du véhicule et dont une branche arrière, qui est destinée à recevoir un équipement, notamment un mécanisme d'essuie-glace du véhicule, rejoint la traverse inférieure de baie sur laquelle repose le pare-brise.The invention relates to an arrangement for the structure of a front part of the body of a motor vehicle. The invention relates more particularly to an arrangement for the structure of a front part of the body of a motor vehicle which comprises, from front to rear, an engine compartment which is closed by a hood, which is separated from the passenger compartment of the vehicle by a substantially transverse apron, an upper part of which comprises, from front to rear, a transverse awning gutter, and a lower bay cross-member, of the type in which the transverse awning gutter, in longitudinal section has substantially the U-shaped, the front branch of which is flush with the hood of the vehicle and the rear branch of which, which is intended to receive equipment, in particular a vehicle wiper mechanism, joins the lower bay cross member on which the windshield.
On connaît de nombreux exemples d'agencement de structure de partie avant de ce type.Numerous examples of this type of front part structure are known.
I l s'agit pour la plupart d'agencements comportant une gouttière transversale d'auvent présentant en section longitudinale la forme d'un U dont une branche arrière est soudée au point sur un tablier du véhicule lors de l'assemblage de la caisse du véhicule. Les extrémités transversales de la gouttière transversale d'auvent sont par ailleurs soudées sur des joues latérales intérieures d'ailes avant du véhiculeI t is for the most part arrangements comprising a transverse awning gutter having in longitudinal section the shape of a U of which a rear branch is welded to the point on an apron of the vehicle during the assembly of the body of the vehicle. The transverse ends of the transverse awning gutter are also welded to the inner lateral cheeks of the front fenders of the vehicle.
Le document EP-B 1 -0.331 .644 décrit et représente une telle gouttière transversale d'auvent, qui est fermée par un couvercle amovible comportant des fentes d'aération et un trou pour le passage d'un arbre d'entraînement d'essuie-glace. Un tel agencement permet de faciliter le montage de arbre d'entraînement d'essuie-glace qui, contrairement à des agencements conventionnels, ne nécessite pas de traverser une paroi fixe formant couvercle pour la gouttière d'auvent du véhicule.The document EP-B 1 -0.331 .644 describes and represents such a transverse awning gutter, which is closed by a removable cover comprising ventilation slots and a hole for the passage of a wiper drive shaft. -ice cream. Such an arrangement makes it easier to mount the wiper drive shaft which, unlike conventional arrangements, does not require passing through a fixed wall forming a cover for the awning gutter of the vehicle.
Toutefois, le montage des équipements qui sont destinés à prendre place dans une telle gouttière d'auvent demeure malaisé en raison de manque d'accessibilité à l'intérieur du compartiment moteur du véhicule. En particulier, le montage d'un équipement encombrant tel qu'un mécanisme d'essuie-glace du véhicule est rendu délicat du fait de la petite dimension de l'ouverture supérieure de la gouttière d'auvent.However, the mounting of the equipment which is intended to take place in such an awning gutter remains difficult due to lack of accessibility inside the engine compartment of the vehicle. In particular, the mounting of bulky equipment such as a vehicle wiper mechanism is made difficult because of the small size of the upper opening of the awning gutter.
Par ailleurs, une gouttière d'auvent fixe soudée sur la caisse du véhicule présente l'inconvénient de nécessiter de longues et coûteuses opérations de déssoudage et ressoudage en cas de remplacement, comme c'est le cas lorsque le véhicule à subi un accident et que la gouttière d'auvent a été déformée par le choc.Furthermore, a fixed awning gutter welded to the vehicle body has the drawback of requiring long and costly desoldering and reweld operations in the event of replacement, as is the case when the vehicle has suffered an accident and the awning gutter was deformed by the impact.
Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, l'invention propose une gouttière d'auvent qui est susceptible de recevoir ses équipements avant son montage sur le véhicule, et qui peut être démontée à des fins de réparation de la caisse du véhicule.To remedy this drawback, the invention provides an awning gutter which is capable of receiving its equipment before it is mounted on the vehicle, and which can be dismantled for the purpose of repairing the vehicle body.
Dans ce but, l'invention propose un agencement du type décrit précédemment, caractérisé en ce que la gouttière transversale d'auvent est fixée au moins sur la traverse inférieure de baie et est démontable.To this end, the invention provides an arrangement of the type described above, characterized in that the transverse awning gutter is fixed at least on the lower bay cross member and is removable.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention : - la gouttière transversale comporte à chacune de ses extrémités transversales des joues latérales pour sa fixation démontable sur des joues latérales d'orientation longitudinale du tablier, - la gouttière transversale comporte des perçages sur la branche arrière du U et sur les joues latérales pour la fixation par vissage de la gouttière transversale respectivement sûr la traverse inférieure de baie et sur le tablier, - la branche arrière de la gouttière en U comporte au moins une patte d'ancrage et des perçages pour permettre respectivement la fixation d'un mécanisme d'essuie-glace et le passage d'arbres d'entraînement d'essuie-glace, la gouttière transversale comporte des points d'ancrage pour un réservoir de liquide de lave-glace et des g icleurs de lave-glace du véhicule, au montage, la gouttière transversale est préalablement équipée du mécanisme d'essuie-glace, et/ou du réservoir, et/ou des gicleurs de lave-glace, avant d'être fixée au moins sur la traverse inférieure de baie,According to other characteristics of the invention: the transverse gutter has, at each of its transverse ends, lateral cheeks for its detachable attachment to lateral cheeks of longitudinal orientation of the deck, - the transverse gutter has holes on the rear branch of the U and on the side cheeks for fixing by screwing the transverse gutter respectively on the lower bay cross member and on the deck, - the rear branch of the U gutter has at minus one anchor tab and holes to allow respectively the fixing of a wiper mechanism and the passage of wiper drive shafts, the transverse gutter has anchor points for a tank windshield washer fluid and windshield washer nozzles in the vehicle, during assembly, the transverse gutter is previously equipped with the wiper mechanism, and / or the reservoir, and / or windshield washer nozzles, before being fixed at least on the lower bay cross member,
- la branche avant de la gouttière en U comporte à son extrémité supérieure au moins un joint formant étanchéité avec le capot du véhicule.- The front branch of the U-shaped gutter has at its upper end at least one seal forming a seal with the hood of the vehicle.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit pour la compréhension de laquelle on se reportera aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following detailed description for the understanding of which reference will be made to the appended drawings in which:

Dans la description qui va suivre, des chiffres de référence identiques désignent des pièces identiques ou ayant des fonctions similaires.- Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the transverse gutter according to the invention. In the following description, identical reference numerals designate identical parts or having similar functions.
On a représenté aux figures 1 à 3 un agencement 10 pour la structure d'une partie avant de la caisse d'un véhicule automobile.There is shown in Figures 1 to 3 an arrangement 10 for the structure of a front part of the body of a motor vehicle.
D'une manière connue, comme l'illustre la figure 3, la caisse du véhicule automobile comporte, d'avant en arrière, un compartiment moteur 12 qui est fermé par un capot 14 et qui est séparé de l'habitacle 16 du véhicule par un tablier 18 du véhicule dont une partie supérieure comporte, d'avant en arrière, une gouttière 20 transversale d'auvent et une traverse inférieure 22 de baie. La traverse inférieure 22 de baie est destinée à supporter une partie inférieure 24 d'un pare-brise 26.In a known manner, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the body of the motor vehicle comprises, from front to rear, an engine compartment 12 which is closed by a cover 14 and which is separated from the passenger compartment 16 of the vehicle by an apron 18 of the vehicle, an upper part of which comprises, from front to rear, a transverse awning gutter 20 and a lower cross member 22 of a bay. The lower bay cross member 22 is intended to support a lower part 24 of a windshield 26.
De manière connue, la gouttière 20 transversale d'auvent présente sensiblement en section longitudinale la forme d'un U dont une branche avant 28 affleure sous le capotIn known manner, the transverse awning gutter 20 has substantially in longitudinal section the shape of a U, a front branch 28 of which is flush with the hood.
14 du véhicule et dont une branche arrière 30 rejoint la traverse inférieure 22 de baie supportant le pare-brise 26.14 of the vehicle and a rear branch 30 of which joins the lower cross member 22 of the bay supporting the windshield 26.
Une extrémité supérieure 27 de la branche avant 28 porte un joint 29 qui est susceptible, lorsque le capot 14 est fermé, de réaliser une étanchéité du compartiment moteur 12 par rapport à la gouttière d'auvent 20. Par ailleurs, la branche arrière 30 de la gouttière d'auvent est destinée à recevoir un mécanisme 32 d'essuie-glace du pare-brise.An upper end 27 of the front branch 28 carries a seal 29 which is capable, when the cover 14 is closed, of sealing the engine compartment 12 relative to the awning gutter 20. Furthermore, the rear branch 30 of the awning gutter is intended to receive a windscreen wiper mechanism 32.
Conformément à l'invention , la gouttière 20 transversale d'auvent est fixée au moins sur la traverse 22 inférieure de baie et est démontable. Sur la figure 3, on a représenté un axe A de fixation , par exemple par vissage, de la gouttière 20 transversale d'auvent sur la traverse 22 inférieure de baie. Comme l'illustre la figure 1 , la branche arrière 30 de la gouttière 20 d'auvent comporte des perçages 34 répartis sur toute sa largeur qui permettent la fixation de la gouttière 20 sur la traverse 22 inférieure de baie. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention , la gouttière 20 transversale d'auvent est fermée à chacune de ses extrémités 36 par une joue latérale 38. Lorsque la gouttière 20 est assemblée à la caisse du véhicule, la joue 38 est au contact d'un élément de structure de caisse du véhicule, notamment une joue longitudinale (non représentée) du tablier 1 8. La joue 38 permet notamment l'écoulement de l'eau résultant de la condensation de l'humidité de l'air ou de la pluie vers un fond 40 de la gouttière 20 qui est percé d'au moins un orifice 43 pour l'évacuation de cette eau sous le véhicule.According to the invention, the transverse awning gutter 20 is fixed at least on the lower cross member 22 of the opening and is removable. In Figure 3, there is shown an axis A for fixing, for example by screwing, the transverse gutter 20 of awning on the lower cross member 22 of the opening. As illustrated Figure 1, the rear branch 30 of the canopy gutter 20 has holes 34 distributed over its entire width which allow the fixing of the gutter 20 on the lower cross member 22 of the bay. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the transverse canopy gutter 20 is closed at each of its ends 36 by a lateral cheek 38. When the gutter 20 is assembled to the vehicle body, the cheek 38 is in contact of a body structure element of the vehicle, in particular a longitudinal cheek (not shown) of the apron 1 8. The cheek 38 allows in particular the flow of water resulting from the condensation of air humidity or rain towards a bottom 40 of the gutter 20 which is pierced with at least one orifice 43 for the evacuation of this water under the vehicle.
La joue latérale 38 comporte avantageusement au moins un perçage 42 qui permet une fixation supplémentaire de la gouttière 20 transversale d'auvent sur la joue longitudinale (non représentée) du tablier 18 du véhicule. Conformément à l'invention , la branche arrière 30 de la gouttière 20 en U comporte au moins une patte 44 et des perçages 46 permettant respectivement la fixation du mécanisme 32 d'essuie-glace et le passage d'arbres 48 d'entraînement d'essuie-glace. Cette disposition est particulièrement avantageuse car, au montage, la gouttière 20, préalablement équipée du mécanisme 32 d'essuie-glace, peut être mise en place sur le véhicule, ce qui simplifie considérablement les opérations d'assemblage du véhicule et permet d'en abaisser le coût. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention , la branche arrière 30 du véhicule comporte avantageusement des points d'ancrage, notamment des perçages 50 et 52 qui permettent respectivement le montage d'un réservoir (non représenté) de la glace du véhicule et de gicleurs (non représentés) de la glace du véhicule. Les points d'ancrage 50 et 52 peuvent notamment être des perçages destinés à recevoir respectivement des vis de fixation du réservoir de la glace et des gicleurs emboîtables.The lateral cheek 38 advantageously comprises at least one bore 42 which allows an additional fixing of the transverse gutter 20 of awning on the longitudinal cheek (not shown) of the apron 18 of the vehicle. According to the invention, the rear branch 30 of the gutter 20 in a U has at least one lug 44 and holes 46 allowing respectively the fixing of the wiper mechanism 32 and the passage of shafts 48 for driving wiper. This arrangement is particularly advantageous because, during assembly, the gutter 20, previously equipped with the wiper mechanism 32, can be placed on the vehicle, which considerably simplifies the assembly operations of the vehicle and makes it possible to lower the cost. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the rear branch 30 of the vehicle advantageously includes anchoring points, in particular holes 50 and 52 which allow respectively the mounting of a reservoir (not shown) of the vehicle glass and of sprinklers (not shown) of the vehicle glass. The anchoring points 50 and 52 may in particular be bores intended to receive respectively screws for fixing the ice reservoir and nestable nozzles.
L'agencement 1 0 selon l'invention permet donc de simplifier considérablement les opérations d'assemblage d'un véhicule sur la chaîne de production en proposant une gouttière 20 d'auvent qui peut être montée préalablement équipée du mécanisme 32 d'essuie-glace, du réservoir de lave- glace et des gicleurs tout en participant de façon efficace à la rigidité de la caisse du véhicule. The arrangement 1 0 according to the invention therefore makes it possible to considerably simplify the operations of assembling a vehicle on the production line by proposing an awning gutter 20 which can be mounted previously equipped with the wiper mechanism 32 , the windshield washer reservoir and sprinklers while effectively contributing to the rigidity of the vehicle body.
