Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for centering a sliding door, particularly for a motor vehicle.
  • US-A-5606771 discloses the features mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Some motor vehicles are equipped with sliding side doors each provided with a centering device whose role is to ensure the correct positioning of the front part of the door relative to the vehicle structure, along the longitudinal axis of this vehicle and following a transverse horizontal axis.
  • Known centering devices generally comprise a male portion formed by a finger mounted on a door edge and a female portion mounted on the structure and having a housing for receiving the male part during closing of the door.
  • connection between the male part and the female part is intended to ensure the good mechanical strength of the door in the closed position and to induce games and outcrops of this door which are acceptable.
  • the guide rails of the door can not, by themselves, ensure proper positioning of said door in the closed position, given the functional clearances necessary for its sliding and manufacturing dispersions.
  • the refocusing capacity of the devices used until now is relatively low and it is of the order of plus or minus 2 mm along the transverse horizontal axis and with respect to the nominal position.
  • centering finger is prominent and aggressive because it is located in an access area to the passenger compartment by the occupants of the motor vehicle.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a centering device which avoids the drawbacks mentioned above and which has increased door recentering capabilities, both during the assembly of this door and during its usual operation.
  • the invention therefore relates to a device for centering a sliding door, in particular for a motor vehicle, of the type comprising, on the one hand, a male part mounted on a door edge and, on the other hand, a female part mounted on an upright of the vehicle structure, characterized in that the male part is formed by a cylindrical finger having, at its free end, a free roller in rotation and the female part comprises a first zone of
  • FIG. 1 there is diagrammatically a side 2 of a sliding side door 1 and an upright 3 of a structure 4 of a motor vehicle and on which the sliding door 1 is closed.
  • the door 1 is equipped with a device 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 upright 3 of the structure 4.
  • the male part 10 which is shown on a larger scale in FIG. 2, is formed by a cylindrical finger 12 having a first end 12a fixed by appropriate means, for example by welding, on the edge 2 of the door 1 and a second free end 12b provided with two lugs 13 between them a housing 14 inside which is mounted freely in rotation around 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 leg 13 is rounded, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the female part 11 represented in particular in FIG. 1, comprises 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 centering zone 20 has a curved shape.
  • This curve can be an arc or a succession of curves. Its shape is determined according to need and by calculation or physical test.
  • This first centering zone 20 is followed, in the closing direction of the sliding door 1, with a second centering zone 25 of generally cylindrical shape.
  • the diameter of this second centering zone 25 is substantially equal to the diameter of the finger 12 of the male part 10.
  • the operator When mounting the door 1 at the factory, the operator must return the male portion 10 to its nominal position before adjusting and tighten other connection points of the door 1 with the structure 4 of the motor vehicle.
  • the roller 16 of the finger 12 forming the male part 10 comes into contact with the inner wall 20 of the first centering zone 20 of the female part 11, as shown in FIG. . 3.
  • the centering capacity by means of the roller 16 is plus or minus 11 mm along a transverse horizontal axis.
  • the roller 16 reduces friction and reduces the forces resulting from the order of 15% compared to a simulation without roller with a steel / steel or steel / plastic contact.
  • the operator completely closes the door as shown in FIG. 5 so that the finger 12 of the male part 11 enters the second cylindrical centering zone 25 of the female part 11.
  • the role of the roller 16 is inhibited because the diameter the finger 12 is greater than the diameter of this roller 16 so that said finger 12 plays the role of centering in this second final centering phase of the door 1.
  • the centering capacity during this final operation is plus or minus 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 refocusing of the door 1 during the use of the vehicle can be induced by the fact that the vehicle is parked on a sidewalk on three wheels, which causes a twisting of the entire structure, having an impact in particular on the sliding door.
  • the centering device has the advantage of having the ability to refocus a large sliding door during the assembly operations of this door and also during a current use of the door with a sliding force compatible for a user and also in the where this door is equipped with an anti-pinch system.
  • the centering device has the advantage of being more compact than the centering devices used up to now and the male part of the centering device has dimensions smaller than the male parts of the devices used so far. reduces the risk of aggression for passengers. These risks of aggression are further reduced by the rounded shape of the free end of the male part.
