Abstract

The mechanism has disengaging units including a knob and a plate (6) pivotably mounted around an axle. The knob (7) blocks the rotation of the plate to immobilize the plate such that an activation of an operating device (3) allows the activation of a pivoting control unit (5) by an intermediary of a drive component (4) when the mechanism is in an engaged position. The knob liberates the rotation of the plate such that the activation of the device causes a rotation of the plate when the mechanism is in a disengaged position.

Description

La présente invention concerne un mécanisme de commande de l'ouverture d'une portière de véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a mechanism for controlling the opening of a motor vehicle door.

Un tel mécanisme comprend classiquement un organe de manoeuvre destiné à être actionné par l'utilisateur, un organe de transmission, et un organe de commande pivotant permettant d'actionner au moins un verrou que comprend la portière.Such a mechanism conventionally comprises an operating member intended to be actuated by the user, a transmission member, and a pivoting control member for actuating at least one lock that comprises the door.

Sur certains véhicules, en particulier les véhicules de type camionnette dénommés "pick up", la cabine ne comprend pas de piliers centraux entre les portières avant et les portières arrière ; chaque portière arrière comporte le ou les verrous de fermeture de la portière avant correspondante et ne doit donc pas pouvoir être ouverte tant que la portière avant n'est pas elle-même ouverte.On certain vehicles, particularly the pick-up truck type vehicles, the cab does not include central pillars between the front doors and the rear doors; each rear door has the closing or closing locks of the corresponding front door and therefore must not be open until the front door is itself open.

Dans cette application spécifique, il existe des mécanismes d'ouverture permettant de bloquer le mouvement de l'organe de manoeuvre d'une portière arrière tant que la portière avant correspondante n'est pas ouverte. Le risque existe cependant qu'un utilisateur force sur cet organe de manoeuvre en pensant pouvoir ouvrir la portière, au risque de détériorer le mécanisme.In this specific application, there are opening mechanisms for blocking the movement of the operating member of a rear door until the corresponding front door is not open. The risk exists however that a user forces on this actuator thinking to open the door, the risk of damaging the mechanism.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, il a été conçu des mécanismes débrayables comprenant des moyens qui permettent de débrayer l'organe de manoeuvre tant que la portière avant n'est pas ouverte.To overcome this drawback, it has been designed disengageable mechanisms comprising means for disengaging the actuator as the front door is not open.

Les mécanismes existants ont cependant pour inconvénients d'avoir structure complexe et d'être en conséquence onéreux à fabriquer.However, the existing mechanisms have the disadvantage of having a complex structure and consequently being expensive to manufacture.

La présente invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient essentiel.The present invention aims to remedy this essential disadvantage.

Le mécanisme qu'elle concerne est donc du type permettant d'empêcher l'ouverture d'une portière tant qu'une autre portière n'est pas ouverte, et comprenant, de manière connue en soi, un organe de manoeuvre destiné à être actionné par l'utilisateur, un organe de transmission, un organe de commande pivotant permettant d'actionner au moins un verrou que comprend la portière, et des moyens de débrayage permettant de débrayer l'organe de manoeuvre tant que ladite autre portière n'est pas ouverte.The mechanism that it concerns is therefore of the type that makes it possible to prevent the opening of a door until another door is open, and comprising, in a manner known per se, an operating member intended to be actuated. by the user, a transmission member, a pivoting control member for actuating at least one lock that comprises the door, and disengaging means for disengaging the actuating member until said other door is not opened.

Selon invention, les moyens de débrayage comprennent :

  • une platine montée pivotante autour du même axe que l'organe de commande et comprenant l'organe de transmission monté sur elle, et
  • des moyens de blocage du pivotement de la platine, permettant, dans la position embrayée du mécanisme, d'immobiliser la platine de sorte que l'actionnement de l'organe de manoeuvre permette l'actionnement de l'organe de commande par l'intermédiaire de l'organe de transmission, et, dans la position débrayée du mécanisme, de libérer le pivotement de la platine de sorte que l'actionnement de l'organe de manoeuvre provoque un pivotement de la platine, qui conduit à une absence de l'actionnement de l'organe de commande par l'organe de transmission.
According to the invention, the disengaging means comprise:
  • a plate pivotally mounted about the same axis as the control member and comprising the transmission member mounted on it, and
  • means for blocking the pivoting of the plate, allowing, in the engaged position of the mechanism, to immobilize the plate so that the actuation of the actuating member allows the actuation of the control member via of the transmission member, and in the disengaged position of the mechanism, to release the pivoting of the plate so that the actuation of the actuating member causes a pivoting of the plate, which leads to an absence of the actuation of the control member by the transmission member.

Le mécanisme selon invention a ainsi une structure relativement simple et est donc relativement peu onéreux à fabriquer.The mechanism according to the invention thus has a relatively simple structure and is therefore relatively inexpensive to manufacture.

La platine pourrait être rappelée en position de repos, c'est-à-dire dans la position de verrouillage de la portière, à l'aide d'un moyen élastique approprié tel qu'un ressort.The plate could be recalled in the rest position, that is to say in the locking position of the door, with the aid of a suitable elastic means such as a spring.

De préférence, toutefois, l'organe de transmission comprend un ressort le rappelant en position de repos, c'est-à-dire dans la position de verrouillage de la portière. Ce ressort est chargé du fait du pivotement de l'organe de transmission entraîné par l'organe de manoeuvre, ce pivotement entraînant la platine et n'entraînant pas, en position débrayée, l'organe de commande.Preferably, however, the transmission member comprises a spring reminding it in the rest position, that is to say in the locking position of the door. This spring is loaded due to the pivoting of the transmission member driven by the actuating member, this pivoting driving the plate and not causing, in the disengaged position, the control member.

Dans le cas de ce ressort de rappel, le mécanisme comprend avantageusement une butée permettant d'empêcher le pivotement de l'organe de commande lorsque, après que la platine ait pivoté en position de débrayage, l'actionnement sur l'organe de manoeuvre cesse et que ledit ressort rappelle l'organe de transmission en position de repos, ce ressort permettant ainsi d'assurer à la fois le retour de l'organe de transmission et de la platine en position de repos.In the case of this return spring, the mechanism advantageously comprises a stop for preventing the pivoting of the control member when, after the plate has pivoted in the disengaged position, the actuation on the operating member ceases and that said spring recalls the transmission member in the rest position, this spring thus ensuring both the return of the transmission member and the plate in the rest position.

Cet empêchement de pivotement de l'organe de commande permet, par réaction, d'entraîner la platine dans le sens de son retour à la position de repos de celle-ci. Ainsi, c'est le ressort de rappel de l'organe de transmission qui permet le rappel de la platine en position de repos.This prevention of pivoting of the control member allows, by reaction, to drive the plate in the direction of its return to the rest position thereof. Thus, it is the return spring of the transmission member that allows the return of the plate in the rest position.

Selon une forme simple de réalisation de l'invention, l'organe de transmission est monté pivotant sur la platine, selon un axe parallèle à l'axe de pivotement de la platine.According to a simple embodiment of the invention, the transmission member is pivotally mounted on the plate, along an axis parallel to the axis of pivoting of the plate.

La prise de l'organe de transmission avec l'organe de commande peut être réalisée par des portions à engrenage aménagées sur ces organes.The catch of the transmission member with the control member can be achieved by gear portions arranged on these bodies.

Les moyens de blocage peuvent comprendre un bouton coulissant actionné par ladite autre portière, ou une pièce intermédiaire actionnée par cette portière, ce coulissement se faisant entre une position de blocage du pivotement de la platine, que le bouton occupe lorsque ladite autre portière est ouverte, et une position de déblocage du pivotement de la platine, que le bouton occupe lorsque ladite autre portière est fermée.The locking means may comprise a sliding button actuated by said other door, or an intermediate part actuated by this door, this sliding being between a locking position of the pivoting of the plate, that the button occupies when said other door is open, and a position of unblocking the pivoting of the plate, that the button occupies when said other door is closed.

Les moyens de blocage peuvent également comprendre une tige coulissante actionnée par un électro-aimant, lui-même relié à des moyens de détection détectant les positions d'ouverture et de fermeture de ladite autre portière, le coulissement de cette tige se faisant entre une position de blocage du pivotement de la platine, que la tige occupe lorsque ladite autre portière est ouverte, et une position de déblocage du pivotement de la platine, que la tige occupe lorsque ladite autre portière est fermée.The locking means may also comprise a sliding rod actuated by an electromagnet, itself connected to detection means detecting the opening and closing positions of said other door, the sliding of this rod being between a position blocking the pivoting of the plate, that the rod occupies when said other door is open, and a position of unblocking the pivoting of the plate, that the rod occupies when said other door is closed.

Les moyens de blocage peuvent aussi comprendre un loquet pivotant maintenu normalement en position d'embrayage par un ressort de rappel, ce loquet portant, en position d'embrayage, contre un rebord de la platine, et, en position de débrayage, étant dégagé de ce rebord afin d'autoriser le pivotement de la platine.The locking means may also comprise a pivoting latch normally held in the clutch position by a return spring, this latch carrying, in the clutch position, against a flange of the plate, and, in the disengaged position, being disengaged from this edge to allow the pivoting of the plate.

L'invention sera bien comprise, et d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront, en référence au dessin schématique annexé, représentant, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, plusieurs formes de réalisation possibles du mécanisme qu'elle concerne.

Les figures 1 à 7 représentent un mécanisme 1 de commande de l'ouverture d'une portière arrière de véhicule automobile, destiné à être placé sur le côté intérieur de cette portière.Figures 1 to 7 show a mechanism 1 for controlling the opening of a rear door of a motor vehicle, intended to be placed on the inner side of this door.

Le véhicule est du type dont la carrosserie est dépourvue de piliers centraux entre les portières avant et les portières arrière. Ces dernières comportent les verrous de fermeture des portières avant, et il y a donc lieu d'interdire l'ouverture d'une portière arrière lorsque la portière avant correspondante est fermée.The vehicle is of the type whose body has no central pillars between the front doors and the rear doors. The latter include the front door locks, and it is therefore appropriate to prohibit the opening of a rear door when the corresponding front door is closed.

Comme le montre la figure 1, ce mécanisme 1 comprend :

  • une embase 2 destinée à être fixée à la portière arrière ;
  • un organe de manoeuvre 3 ;
  • un organe de transmission 4 ;
  • un organe de commande 5 ;
  • une platine 6, et
  • un bouton 7.
As shown in FIG. 1, this mechanism 1 comprises:
  • a base 2 intended to be fixed to the rear door;
  • an operating member 3;
  • a transmission member 4;
  • a control member 5;
  • a plate 6, and
  • a button 7.

L'embase 2 forme notamment des trous 10 pour le montage pivotant sur elle de l'organe de manoeuvre 3 au moyen d'un axe 11, un plot cylindrique 12 pour le montage pivotant sur elle de l'organe de commande 5 et de la platine 6, et une cavité 13 pour le montage du bouton 7.The base 2 forms in particular holes 10 for pivotally mounting on it of the actuating member 3 by means of an axis 11, a cylindrical stud 12 for the pivotal mounting thereon of the control member 5 and the platinum 6, and a cavity 13 for mounting the button 7.

L'embase 2 forme également une butée 14 limitant le pivotement de l'organe de commande 5 dans le sens anti-horaire au-delà de la position de repos montrée sur la figure 2, ainsi que cela sera décrit plus en détail plus loin.The base 2 also forms a stop 14 limiting the pivoting of the control member 5 in the counterclockwise direction beyond the rest position shown in Figure 2, as will be described in more detail below.

L'organe de manoeuvre 3 comprend une partie 15 en forme de palette, sur laquelle prennent appui les doigts de l'utilisateur pour l'actionnement de cet organe 3, une branche recourbée 16 formant un conduit de réception de l'axe 11 et une cavité de réception d'un ressort 17 de rappel de l'organe 3 en position de repos, et une patte 18 venant à proximité de l'organe de transmission 4 est actionnant ce dernier en pivotement lorsque l'organe de manoeuvre 3 est actionné en pivotement par rapport à l'embase 2.The operating member 3 comprises a portion 15 in the form of a pallet, on which the user's fingers rest for the actuation of this member 3, a curved branch 16 forming a receiving duct of the shaft 11 and a receiving cavity of a spring 17 for returning the member 3 in the rest position, and a lug 18 coming close to the transmission member 4 is actuating the latter pivotally when the actuating member 3 is actuated by pivoting relative to the base 2.

L'organe de transmission 4 est monté pivotant sur un plot cylindrique 20 que forme la platine 6. D'un côté de son axe de pivotement, il présente une branche arrondie 21 venant coopérer avec la patte 18 tandis que de l'autre côté de son axe, il présente une portion 22 en secteur de cercle formant des dents d'engrenage.The transmission member 4 is pivotally mounted on a cylindrical stud 20 that forms the plate 6. On one side of its pivot axis, it has a rounded branch 21 cooperating with the lug 18 while on the other side of its axis, it has a portion 22 in sector of a circle forming gear teeth.

L'organe de transmission 4 est associé à un ressort de rappel 23 dont une des branches prend appui sur la platine 6 et dont l'autre prend appui contre lui ; ce ressort 23 maintient normalement l'organe de transmission 4 dans la position montrée sur la figure 2, dans laquelle la branche 21 est au contact de la patte 18, mais permet le pivotement de l'organe de transmission 4 dans la position montrée sur la figure 5, dans laquelle cet organe 4 est pivoté dans le sens anti-horaire par rapport à la platine 6.The transmission member 4 is associated with a return spring 23, one of the branches bears on the plate 6 and the other bears against it; this spring 23 normally holds the transmission member 4 in the position shown in Figure 2, wherein the leg 21 is in contact with the tab 18, but allows the pivoting of the transmission member 4 in the position shown on the FIG. 5, in which this member 4 is pivoted in the counterclockwise direction with respect to the plate 6.

L'organe de commande 5 comprend un alésage central 25, deux branches latérales 26 et une portion 27 en secteur de cercle formant des dents d'engrenage.The control member 5 comprises a central bore 25, two lateral branches 26 and a sector portion 27 forming a circle gear teeth.

L'alésage 25 permet le montage de l'organe 5 à pivotement sur le plot 12.The bore 25 allows the pivot member 5 to be mounted on the stud 12.

Les deux branches latérales 26 sont diamétralement opposées et leurs extrémités libres sont reliées de manière pivotante, par des cylindres 28 engagés dans des alésages, à des câbles 29 d'actionnement de deux verrous, un supérieur et l'autre inférieur, équipant la portière.The two lateral branches 26 are diametrically opposed and their free ends are pivotally connected by cylinders 28 engaged in bores, cables 29 actuating two latches, one upper and the other lower, equipping the door.

La portion 27 est propre à engrener avec la portion 22 de l'organe de transmission 4, ainsi que cela apparaît sur les figures 2 et 5.The portion 27 is adapted to mesh with the portion 22 of the transmission member 4, as it appears in Figures 2 and 5.

La platine 6 comprend un alésage 30 permettant son montage à pivotement sur le plot 12, en dessous de l'organe 5, et comprend, du côté opposé au plot 20, une branche 31 destinée à coopérer avec le bouton 7.The plate 6 comprises a bore 30 allowing it to pivotally mount on the stud 12, below the member 5, and comprises, on the side opposite the stud 20, a branch 31 intended to cooperate with the button 7.

Comme le montre plus particulièrement les figures 1, 3 et 4, cette branche 31 se termine par un bossage 32 qui délimite une cavité inférieure et qui est ouvert latéralement. La cavité inférieure du bossage 32 est propre à recevoir une partie de base renflée 7a du bouton 7 et l'ouverture latérale de ce bossage 32 peut recevoir à coulissement une partie centrale amincie 7b du bouton 7.As shown more particularly in Figures 1, 3 and 4, this branch 31 ends with a boss 32 which delimits a lower cavity and which is open laterally. The lower cavity of the boss 32 is adapted to receive an enlarged base portion 7a of the button 7 and the lateral opening of this boss 32 can slidably receive a thin central portion 7b of the button 7.

Ainsi que cela apparaît sur les figures 3 et 4, lorsque ladite partie de base renflée 7a est engagée dans ladite cavité inférieure du bossage 32, le pivotement de la platine 6 par rapport à l'embase 2 est bloqué, tandis que, ainsi que cela apparaît sur la figure 6, lorsque le bouton 7 est enfoncé de telle sorte que ladite partie centrale amincie 7b de ce bouton se trouve en regard de ladite ouverture latérale du bossage 32, le pivotement de la platine 6 par rapport à l'embase 2 est libéré.As it appears in FIGS. 3 and 4, when said bulged base portion 7a is engaged in said lower cavity of the boss 32, the pivoting of the plate 6 with respect to the base 2 is blocked, while, as well as that appears in FIG. 6, when the button 7 is depressed so that said thinned central portion 7b of this button is opposite said lateral opening of the boss 32, the pivoting of the plate 6 with respect to the base 2 is released.

Le bouton 7 comprend, outre les parties précitées 7a et 7b, une cavité inférieure de réception d'un ressort 35, une tête renflée 7c contre laquelle la portière avant correspondante du véhicule, ou une pièce intermédiaire actionnée par cette portière, vient appuyer lorsque cette portière avant est fermée, et des pattes latérales 7d formant, avec des cavités correspondantes de l'embase 2, un système à baïonnettes permettant le montage du bouton 7 sur cette embase 2.The button 7 comprises, in addition to the abovementioned parts 7a and 7b, a lower receiving cavity of a spring 35, a bulging head 7c against which the corresponding front door of the vehicle, or an intermediate piece actuated by this door, comes to bear when this front door is closed, and side tabs 7d forming, with corresponding cavities of the base 2, a bayonet system for mounting the button 7 on this base 2.

Le ressort 35 maintient normalement le bouton 7 dans les positions montrées sur les figures 3 et 4, d'immobilisation de la platine 6 par rapport à l'embase 2. La portière avant de véhicule, lorsqu'elle est fermée, vient porter contre la tête 7c du bouton 7, enfonçant ce dernier dans la position montrée sur la figure 6, et libérant ainsi le pivotement de la platine 6 par rapport à l'embase 2.The spring 35 normally holds the button 7 in the positions shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, for immobilizing the plate 6 with respect to the base 2. The front vehicle door, when closed, bears against the 7c head 7c, pushing the latter in the position shown in Figure 6, and thus releasing the pivoting of the plate 6 relative to the base 2.

En pratique, lorsque la portière avant est ouverte, le bouton 7 est dans la position montrée sur les figures 3 et 4 de sorte que la platine 6 est immobilisée par rapport à l'embase 2. Le mécanisme 1 se trouve alors dans la position de repos montrée sur la figure 2.In practice, when the front door is open, the button 7 is in the position shown in Figures 3 and 4 so that the plate 6 is immobilized relative to the base 2. The mechanism 1 is then in the position of rest shown in Figure 2.

Une traction opérée par l'utilisateur sur l'organe de manoeuvre 3 provoque le pivotement de l'organe de transmission 4 dans le sens anti-horaire et donc, du fait de l'engrenage de la portion 22 de cet organe 4 avec la portion 27 de l'organe de commande 5, un pivotement de l'organe de commande 5 dans le sens horaire ; ce pivotement réalise une traction sur les câbles 29 et actionne par conséquent les verrous de la portière arrière dans le sens de la libération de l'ouverture de cette portière.A traction operated by the user on the operating member 3 causes the pivoting of the transmission member 4 in the counterclockwise direction and therefore, because of the gearing of the portion 22 of this member 4 with the portion 27 of the control member 5, a pivoting of the control member 5 in the clockwise direction; this pivoting pulls on the cables 29 and therefore actuates the locks of the rear door in the direction of the release of the opening of this door.

Lorsque la traction opérée par l'utilisateur sur l'organe de manoeuvre 3 est relâchée, le mécanisme 1 retourne à la position de repos montrée sur la figure 2 sous l'effet des ressorts 23 et 17.When the traction operated by the user on the operating member 3 is released, the mechanism 1 returns to the rest position shown in Figure 2 under the effect of the springs 23 and 17.

La portière avant, lorsqu'elle est fermée, maintient le bouton 7 dans la position enfoncée montrée sur la figure 6, dans laquelle le pivotement de la platine 6 est libéré.The front door, when closed, keeps the button 7 in the depressed position shown in Figure 6, in which the pivoting of the plate 6 is released.

A partir de la position de repos, l'actionnement de l'organe de manoeuvre 3 provoque un pivotement anti-horaire de l'organe de transmission 4, permettant ainsi de charger le ressort 23. La platine 6 n'étant pas retenue par le bouton 7, le pivotement de l'organe de transmission 4 provoque un pivotement anti-horaire de la platine 6. Lorsque l'actionnement de l'organe de manoeuvre 3 cesse, le ressort 23 provoque un pivotement horaire de l'organe de transmission 4 qui, du fait des dents d'engrenage 22 et 27, tend à faire pivoter dans le sens anti-horaire l'organe de commande 5. La butée 14 empêchant le pivotement de l'organe de commande 5 dans le sens anti-horaire, cet empêchement permet, par réaction, d'entraîner la platine 6 dans le sens de son retour à la position d'origine de celle-ci.From the rest position, the actuation of the operating member 3 causes a counterclockwise rotation of the transmission member 4, thus allowing the spring 23 to be loaded. The plate 6 is not retained by the button 7, the pivoting of the transmission member 4 causes a counterclockwise pivoting of the plate 6. When the actuation of the actuating member 3 ceases, the spring 23 causes a clockwise rotation of the transmission member 4 which, because of the gear teeth 22 and 27, tends to rotate in the counterclockwise direction the control member 5. The stop 14 preventing the pivoting of the control member 5 in the counterclockwise direction, this prevention allows, by reaction, to drive the plate 6 in the direction of its return to the original position thereof.

La figure 8 montre une embase 2 équipée d'un électro-aimant 40 propre à actionner une tige 41 ayant la même fonction que le bouton 7, c'est-à-dire venant, dans une position, bloquer le pivotement de la platine 6 et, dans une autre position, libérer ce pivotement. L'électro-aimant 40 est relié à des moyens de détection, tel qu'un contacteur de type classique, détectant l'ouverture et de la fermeture de la portière avant.FIG. 8 shows a base 2 equipped with an electromagnet 40 capable of actuating a rod 41 having the same function as the button 7, that is to say coming, in one position, to block the pivoting of the plate 6 and, in another position, release this pivoting. The electromagnet 40 is connected to detection means, such as a conventional type of contactor, detecting the opening and closing of the front door.

Les figures 9 à 11 représentent un mécanisme similaire à celui décrit en référence figure 1 à 7. Dans ce cas, toutefois, le bouton 7 est remplacé par un loquet pivotant 70 actionné par un câble, les moyens de détection de l'ouverture et de la fermeture de la portière avant étant déportés et non représentés sur ces figures. Le loquet 70 est maintenu normalement en position d'embrayage par un ressort de rappel.FIGS. 9 to 11 show a mechanism similar to that described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7. In this case, however, the button 7 is replaced by a pivoting latch 70 actuated by a cable, the detection means of FIG. the opening and closing of the front door being deported and not shown in these figures. The latch 70 is normally held in the clutch position by a return spring.

Ainsi que le montrent les figures 9 et 10, le loquet 70 comprend une extension 70a qui, en position d'embrayage, porte contre un rebord de la platine 6. La figure 11 montre que, en position de débrayage, le loquet 70 est pivoté de telle sorte que son extension 70a soit effacée au-delà dudit rebord et ne fasse pas obstacle au pivotement de la platine 6.As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the latch 70 comprises an extension 70a which, in the clutch position, bears against a flange of the plate 6. Figure 11 shows that, in the disengaged position, the latch 70 is rotated so that its extension 70a is erased beyond said rim and does not interfere with the pivoting of the plate 6.

Comme cela apparaît de ce qui précède, l'invention fournit un mécanisme de commande de l'ouverture d'une portière de véhicule automobile, présentant les avantages déterminants d'avoir une structure relativement simple et donc d'être relativement peu onéreux à fabriquer.As is apparent from the foregoing, the invention provides a mechanism for controlling the opening of a motor vehicle door, having the decisive advantages of having a relatively simple structure and therefore of being relatively inexpensive to manufacture.

Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple mais qu'elle s'étend à toutes les formes de réalisations couvertes par les revendications ci-annexées.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example but that it extends to all embodiments covered by the appended claims.
