Definitions

  • the present invention relates to devices and methods for fastening automobile lock, in particular the mounting of the lock barrel of a lock in an external opening control of an opening such as a door of a vehicle.
  • a pallet - also commonly called a handle - which is located on the outside of the vehicle door and which is connected to a kinematic module located on the side. interior of the door and which makes it possible to make the connection between the pallet and the lock (s), that is to say the command to open the door.
  • a lock barrel for reversible locking from the outside of the vehicle door, for example by means of a key.
  • the assembly and connection of the lock barrel with the kinematic module is achieved by placing the lock barrel from the outer side of the door, which is housed in an opening of the kinematic module provided for this purpose.
  • the barrel lock to the rest of the control is made from outside the vehicle door.
  • a disadvantage of this system is that it is necessary to manually perform several steps of precise positioning of the plate and the cylinder to align them.
  • a second disadvantage is that it is necessary to store in the assembly line of the vehicle several spare parts.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the mounting of the lock barrel of a lock in an external opening control of an opening such as a door of a vehicle.
  • the present invention relates to a device for mounting the lock bolt of a lock of a vehicle opening, the mounting device comprising a lock control module intended to be installed on the inside of the opening, and a barrel of lock intended to be installed on the outer side of the opening in functional connection with said module, said module comprising a locking ring movable in rotation and provided with a flange extending radially towards the inside of the ring, said collar comprising at least one notch, said lock barrel having at least one lug adapted to engage through said notch and extending radially outwards, the shank being adapted to be inserted from the outside of the sash to the inside the ring, so that by rotation of the ring, said lug of the lock barrel is blocked on a portion of the flange having no notch, so as to prohibit withdrawal of said barrel from outside the opening, characterized in that the ring has a toothed portion adapted to be driven in rotation by drive means meshing with said toothed portion to rotate the ring from a position of engagement
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the number of spare parts at the edge of the vehicle assembly line is minimum, as well as the number of operations requiring precise positioning of the parts aligned with each other, for the benefit of the assembly time on the chain. .
  • the control module may define a bore aligned with an outer leaf panel opening in axial alignment with said opening to guide the barrel substantially directly in axial correspondence with the ring. For assembly, it is sufficient for the operator to angularly position the barrel and then pass the barrel through the opening and the bore of the module.
  • the drive means may comprise a drive head accessible from a song of the opening.
  • the inviolability of the device according to the invention is improved by making it difficult to access the drive means from the outside without opening the door or degrading it.
  • This arrangement allows remote control of the drive means, for example using a tool through the edge of the opening. This arrangement is therefore beneficial for the ergonomics of editing operations carried out by an operator, which for example needs to perform fewer part alignment operations.
  • the drive means may comprise an endless screw.
  • the worm can be rotated from an end accessible from an opening defined in the edge of the opening.
  • a worm has the advantage of being a compact drive means.
  • the barrel can be inserted from the outside of the opening inside the ring and be locked in rotation, in particular during the rotation of the ring.
  • the module may comprise a kinematic module containing mechanical elements opening control closing the opening to be installed on the inner side of the opening.
  • the flange comprises at least three, preferably at least four notches
  • the lock barrel comprises at least three, preferably at least four corresponding tabs.
  • the flange comprises at least three, preferably at least four notches
  • the lock barrel comprises at least three, preferably at least four corresponding tabs.
  • the method may comprise the step of driving the ring by a worm, preferably by accessing the worm from an opening defined in a song of the opening.
  • the sash opening control comprises an outer sash pallet (not shown in the drawing), a kinematic module 20 intended to be mounted inside the sash, and a skewer 2 for to be inserted from outside the opening - through an opening in the latter - inside the kinematic module, in functional relation with the latter.
  • a door will be considered as an example of non-limiting opening in the following description.
  • the kinematic module 20 comprises mechanical elements for controlling the opening and closing of the door, in particular for coupling the latch and or the pallet to a lock of the door so as to allow the locking of the door, its closing or opening .
  • the kinematic module 20 is not illustrated in its entirety, only the parts adapted to the cooperation of the lock barrel 2 being illustrated.
  • the rear door edge the vertical door edge, located on the side of the central upright of the vehicle body, as opposed to the front door edge which is the song vertical located on the hood side of the vehicle.
  • This front door edge is usually equipped with hinges to connect the door to the vehicle body.
  • the present invention relates a priori many existing locks, such as for example the barrel used in the first embodiment of the document US 2040258 . It does not matter how the lock must be connected in operation to the kinematic module.
  • the figure 1 shows a lock barrel 2 intended to be inserted through the thickness of a vehicle door, to be assembled with the kinematic module 20 of the door control of said vehicle.
  • the lock barrel 2 has a cylindrical portion 3, one end has a flange 4 for flush with the outer surface 5 of the door when said barrel is installed.
  • the interior of the cylindrical portion of the barrel will not be described further in the context of the present description since many locking mechanisms, particularly suitable for motor vehicle doors are known per se.
  • the other end of the barrel 2 comprises lugs 6, extending radially outwardly of the barrel; in the case illustrated in figure 1 the barrel has three lugs.
  • the figure 1 also shows a portion of the kinematic module 20 of the door control according to the invention, said kinematic module 20 comprising inter alia a locking ring 7 movable in rotation, the innermost end of the door is provided with a flange 8 extending radially inwardly of the ring.
  • the flange 8 has three notches 9, corresponding to the lugs 6 of the barrel 2, and allowing the passage thereof when the barrel 2 is inserted towards the inside of the door during the assembly of this last with the kinematic module 20.
  • the number of notches is not limiting, it is possible to use more or less than three notches, but of preferably several regularly distributed for a good axial distribution of efforts.
  • the locking ring 7 has a toothed portion 10 meshing with an endless screw 12, one end 13 of which is accessible at the edge of the door.
  • the locking ring 7 rotates in one direction or the other.
  • the end 13 of the worm 12 here forms a drive head of the worm.
  • the figures 2 and 4 show the device when the lock barrel 2 has been completely inserted into the door.
  • the outer edge 4 of the barrel is in contact with the outer surface of the door and abuts against it, and the lugs 6 of the barrel are opposite the notches 9 of the locking ring 7, so that the rotation of the ring is allowed.
  • the modification of the position of the locking ring 7 for unlocking the barrel 2 allowing its removal, can be achieved by action on the worm 12, from the edge of the door.
  • Other drive means may be used than an endless screw 12, for example another type of toothed element.
  • the important thing is to ensure the rotation function of the ring to make solid or not integral the barrel 2 and the ring 7. It is preferable to allow to ensure the rotation of the ring 7 of a position of commitment of the lug 6 of the barrel 2 through said notch 9 to a locking position of the lug 6 on the portion of the collar having no notch 9, in both directions, to allow the mounting of the barrel 2 or disassembly of the barrel 2 for replacement.
  • Access to the drive means by the edge of the door optimizes the inviolability of the vehicle, making it difficult to access the drive means without opening the door or without degrading.
  • a lock-module kinematic module 20 is completely inviolable from the outside: indeed, it is almost impossible to remove or pick the lock from outside the door when it is closed. The risks of intrusion into the vehicle interior are then considerably reduced.
  • the drive ring 7 by a worm is made by accessing the worm from an opening defined in a song of the opening. It is still possible to note here that it is possible to remotely control the drive means (here the worm 12), by example using a tool through the door's singing. This is therefore beneficial for the ergonomics of editing operations performed by an operator, which for example needs to perform a minimum of parts alignment operations. It is sufficient for the operator to pass the barrel through an opening 22 of the door panel 5, in axial alignment with a bore 24 of the module 20, which guides the barrel 2 directly in axial correspondence with the ring 7.
  • the object of the invention makes it possible to be simple and quick to assemble and disassemble, and makes it possible to avoid some of the disadvantages of the known devices, as mentioned above.
  • the present invention makes it possible to provide a door opening control whose structure is such that it does not allow disassembly of the lock barrel from outside the vehicle door when the latter is closed.
