Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for centering a sliding door, especially for a motor vehicle.
  • Some motor vehicles are equipped with side doors sliders each provided with a centering device whose role is to ensure the correct positioning of the front part of the door with respect to the structure of the vehicle, along the longitudinal axis of that vehicle and along a horizontal axis transverse.
  • Known centering devices generally include a male part formed by a finger mounted on a door edge and a part female mounted on the structure and having a housing for receiving the male part when closing the door.
  • connection between the male part and the female part is intended for guarantee the good mechanical strength of the door in the closed position and induce play and outcrops of this door are acceptable.
  • the slides guiding the door can not, by themselves, ensure a positioning of said door in the closed position, taking into account the functional play necessary for its sliding and manufacturing dispersions.
  • the ability to refocus the devices used so far is relatively weak and it is of the order of plus or minus 2 mm depending on the axis horizontally transverse and with respect to the nominal position.
  • centering finger is prominent and aggressive because it is located in an access zone to the passenger compartment by the occupants of the motor vehicle.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a centering device which avoids disadvantages mentioned above and which has recentering of the door increased, both during the assembly of this door, that during its usual operation.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore a device for centering a door slider, in particular for a motor vehicle, of the type comprising, of a a male part mounted on a door edge and, on the other hand, a part female mounted on an amount of the vehicle structure, characterized in that the male part is formed by a cylindrical finger having, at its end free, a free roller in rotation and the female part has a first zone of centering cone whose inner wall has a cylindrical profile and is intended to cooperate with the roller and a second cylindrical centering zone intended to cooperate with the finger, the diameter of this finger being greater than diameter of the roller.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a song 2 of a sliding side door 1 and an amount 3 of a structure 4 of a vehicle automobile and on which is closed the sliding door 1.
  • the door 1 is equipped with a centering device which comprises a male part 10 and a female part 11 respectively disposed on the edge 2 of the door 1 and on the amount 3 of structure 4.
  • the male part 10 which is represented on a larger scale on the Fig. 2, is formed by a cylindrical finger 12 having a first end 12a fixed by appropriate means, such as by welding, on the edge 2 of the door 1 and a second free end 12b provided with two legs 13 between them a housing 14 inside which is mounted free in rotation about an axis 15, a roller 16.
  • the diameter of the finger 12 is greater than the diameter of the roller 16 and the end edge 13a of each tab 13 is rounded, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the female part 11 represented in particular in FIG. 1, has a first centering zone 20 having the shape of a cone whose inner wall 21 has a cylindrical profile.
  • the inner wall 21 of the first zone of centering 20 has a curved shape.
  • This first centering zone 20 is followed, in the direction of the closing the sliding door 1, a second centering zone 25 of shape general cylindrical.
  • the diameter of this second centering zone 25 is substantially equal to the diameter of the finger 12 of the male part 10.
  • the centering capacity with the roller 16 is plus or minus 11 mm along a transverse horizontal axis.
  • the roller 16 reduces friction and reduces the efforts resulting from the order of 15% compared to a simulation without roller with steel / steel or steel / plastic contact.
  • the operator completely closes the door and shown in FIG. 5 so that the finger 12 of the male part 11 gets into the second cylindrical centering zone 25 of the female part 11.
  • the role of the roller 16 is inhibited because the finger diameter 12 is greater than the diameter of this roller 16 so that said finger 12 plays the role of centering in this second phase of final centering of the door 1.
  • the centering capacity during this final operation is over or less than 0.35 mm.
  • the centering capacity of the device according to the invention is plus or minus 5.5 mm along the horizontal axis transverse to the nominal position.
  • the recentering of the door 1 during the use of the vehicle may be induced by the fact that the vehicle is parked on a sidewalk on three wheels, which generates a torsion of the whole structure, having a particular impact on the door sliding.
  • the centering device has the advantage of have the ability to refocus a large sliding door during the mounting operations of this door and also during use current of the door with a sliding force compatible for a user and also in the case where this door is equipped with an anti-pinch system.
  • the centering device according to the present invention the advantage of being more compact than the centering devices used up to present and the male part of the centering device according to the invention has dimensions smaller than the male parts of the devices used until now which reduces the risk of aggression for passengers. These risks of aggression are further diminished thanks to the rounded shape of the free end of the male part.
