Abstract

The invention relates to a door handle which is intended, in particular, for a motor vehicle. The inventive handle comprises a lever (105) which can rotate around a first axis (107) in a frame (101) that is intended to be fixed to the door (102) and which is mechanically connected to a mobile fitting that can be intercepted by a locking element which is articulated to the frame (101) or a body which is solidly connected to the frame, such as to pivot around a third axis (117) from a rest position to an active position. In this way, if pivoted violently, the locking member (116) strikes the aforementioned mobile fitting and prevents same from moving. According to the invention, the handle also comprises a piece (200) for blocking the locking element in the active position thereof.

Description

L'invention concerne une poignée de porte, en particulier de véhicule automobile, avec système de sécurité inertiel.The invention relates to a door handle, particularly a motor vehicle, with inertial safety system.

Un tel système de sécurité est destiné à empêcher une ouverture de la porte en cas d'accident et de choc violent subi par la porte.Such a security system is intended to prevent opening of the door in case of accident and violent shock to the door.

Une telle poignée est décrite dans le document de brevet W02004/042177 .Such a handle is described in the patent document W02004 / 042177 .

Cette poignée comporte un levier de poignée qui peut tourner autour d'un premier axe dans un châssis destiné à être fixé à la porte et est connecté mécaniquement à une roue oscillante qui peut tourner dans ledit châssis autour d'un deuxième axe lorsque le levier est tiré de façon à ouvrir la porte. La roue oscillante est pourvue d'un épaulement capable d'être intercepté par une pièce de butée faisant partie d'un élément de verrouillage comprenant un levier de type balancier qui est pourvu d'une masse d'inertie et est articulé au châssis ou à un corps solidaire du châssis de façon à pivoter autour d'un troisième axe, de telle sorte que lors d'un pivotement violent du balancier la pièce de butée heurte l'épaulement et empêche la rotation de la roue oscillante. Ce troisième axe de rotation du balancier est sensiblement parallèle au premier axe de rotation du levier de poignée et la masse d'inertie est disposée entre ces deux axes de rotation.The handle includes a handle lever that is rotatable about a first axis in a frame for attachment to the door and is mechanically connected to an oscillating wheel that can rotate in said frame about a second axis when the lever is pulled in order to open the door. The oscillating wheel is provided with a shoulder capable of being intercepted by an abutment piece forming part of a locking element comprising a rocker type lever which is provided with a mass of inertia and is articulated to the frame or a body secured to the frame so as to pivot about a third axis, so that during a violent pivoting of the balance wheel the abutment piece strikes the shoulder and prevents the rotation of the oscillating wheel. This third axis of rotation of the balance is substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation of the handle lever and the mass of inertia is disposed between these two axes of rotation.

Le US-A-2002/0059693 montre également une telle poignée.The US-2002/0059693 also shows such a handle.

Si un tel agencement présente un résultat relativement satisfaisant, il s'avère cependant qu'il pose les problèmes techniques suivants.If such an arrangement presents a relatively satisfactory result, however, it turns out that it poses the following technical problems.

En cas de choc latéral violent sur la porte, il apparaît que les sollicitations subies par le châssis porteur de la poignée sont très hétérogènes. En autre, la constitution de la carrosserie du véhicule joue un rôle important. Par exemple, le niveau de l'articulation du levier de poignée qui correspond sensiblement au milieu de la porte est un emplacement présentant peu de rigidité. Par contre, l'autre extrémité du levier de poignée est à proximité d'une structure renforcée et rigide du véhicule. De plus, il en découle des vibrations du panneau de porte qui se répercute sur la poignée et donc sur le balancier.In the event of a violent side impact on the door, it appears that the stresses on the carrier frame of the handle are very heterogeneous. In addition, the constitution of the body of the vehicle plays an important role. For example, the level of articulation of the handle lever that corresponds substantially to the middle of the door is a location with little rigidity. By against the other end of the handle lever is close to a reinforced and rigid structure of the vehicle. In addition, it results in vibrations of the door panel which is reflected on the handle and therefore on the balance.

Le balancier peut alors être soumis à un déplacement plus rapide que les autres pièces. Il peut alors revenir dans sa position de repos par l'effet d'une sollicitation inverse, avant interception et verrouillage de l'épaulement de la roue oscillante au début de la rotation de celle-ci tirée par le levier. Sa fonction de sécurité est alors non remplie.The balance can then be moved faster than other parts. It can then return to its rest position by the effect of a reverse bias, before interception and locking the shoulder of the oscillating wheel at the beginning of the rotation thereof pulled by the lever. Its security function is then not fulfilled.

Par ailleurs, lors de tels chocs latéraux, si l'élément venant en collision est bloqué en déplacement après le choc, il se produit un décollement entre cet élément et le véhicule qui continue à se déplacer emporté par son inertie. Si cet élément s'accroche alors au levier de la poignée avec un effort important et supérieur à l'effort exercé par le balancier, le levier de poignée est alors tiré et la porte peut être ouverte.Moreover, during such side impacts, if the colliding element is blocked in displacement after the shock, there is a detachment between this element and the vehicle continues to move carried by its inertia. If this element then clings to the lever of the handle with a significant effort and greater than the force exerted by the balance, the handle lever is then pulled and the door can be opened.

Pour résoudre ces problèmes, l'invention propose une poignée de porte, selon la revendication 1.To solve these problems, the invention proposes a door handle according to claim 1.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, ledit agencement mobile est une roue oscillante qui peut tourner dans ledit châssis autour d'un deuxième axe lorsque le levier est tiré de façon à ouvrir la porte, ladite roue oscillante étant pourvue d'un épaulement capable d'être intercepté par une pièce de butée faisant partie du dit élément de verrouillage comprenant un levier de type balancier qui est pourvu d'une masse d'inertie, la pièce de butée heurtant l'épaulement et empêchant la rotation de la roue oscillante lors d'un pivotement violent du balancier.According to a preferred embodiment, said movable arrangement is an oscillating wheel which can rotate in said frame about a second axis when the lever is pulled so as to open the door, said oscillating wheel being provided with a shoulder capable of being intercepted by an abutment piece forming part of said locking element comprising a rocker type lever which is provided with a mass of inertia, the abutment piece striking the shoulder and preventing the rotation of the oscillating wheel when a violent pivoting of the balance.

De préférence, ledit balancier comporte un ergot sur sa face opposée à celle portant ladite pièce de butée, cet ergot venant s'accrocher sur ladite pièce de blocage, en position active.Preferably, said balance has a lug on its face opposite that carrying said abutment piece, this lug being hooked on said locking piece in the active position.

De préférence, ladite pièce de blocage est constituée d'une lame élastique solidaire du châssis et comportant un orifice d'accrochage dudit ergot, en position active.Preferably, said locking piece consists of an elastic blade integral with the frame and having a hooking hole of said lug, in the active position.

Avantageusement, ladite lame de blocage est calibrée afin d'être précontrainte en poussée sur ledit ergot dans la position de repos.Advantageously, said locking blade is calibrated so as to be prestressed in thrust on said lug in the rest position.

L'invention est décrite ci-après plus en détail à l'aide de figures ne représentant qu'un mode de réalisation préféré.The invention is described below in more detail with the help of figures representing only a preferred embodiment.

La figure 1 est une vue de dessous d'une poignée conforme à l'invention en position de repos et en utilisation normale.The figure 1 is a bottom view of a handle according to the invention in the rest position and in normal use.

La figure 2 est une vue en coupe de face d'une poignée conforme à l'invention en position de repos et en utilisation normale.The figure 2 is a front sectional view of a handle according to the invention in the rest position and in normal use.

La figure 3 est une vue de dessous d'une poignée conforme à l'invention en position de blocage.The figure 3 is a bottom view of a handle according to the invention in the locking position.

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe de face d'une poignée conforme à l'invention en position de blocage.The figure 4 is a front sectional view of a handle according to the invention in the locking position.

Comme représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, la poignée comporte un châssis 101 qui peut être fixé derrière la face externe d'une porte 102 d'un véhicule automobile. Le châssis 101 est pourvu d'un axe d'articulation 103, autour duquel une partie d'extension 104 d'un levier 105 peut être tourné. Le levier 105 peut être tiré vers l'extérieur dans la direction de la flèche 106 et tourner autour d'un premier axe 107 qui est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de rotation de la porte 102. Le levier 105 est pourvu d'un appendice 108 qui comprend un creux 109 dans lequel une languette 110 d'une roue oscillante 111 est engagée en rotation.As shown on Figures 1 and 2 , the handle has a frame 101 which can be fixed behind the outer face of a door 102 of a motor vehicle. The frame 101 is provided with a hinge pin 103, around which an extension portion 104 of a lever 105 can be rotated. The lever 105 can be pulled outward in the direction of the arrow 106 and rotate about a first axis 107 which is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the door 102. The lever 105 is provided with an appendix 108 which comprises a recess 109 in which a tongue 110 of an oscillating wheel 111 is engaged in rotation.

Lorsque le levier 105 est tiré, la roue oscillante 111 tourne dans le châssis 101 autour d'un deuxième axe 112 qui est sensiblement parallèle au premier axe 107. Un ressort hélicoïdal 113 est disposé coaxialement à la roue oscillante 111 afin de rappeler celle-ci dans sa position d'origine, avec le levier 105, quant ce dernier n'est pas tiré plus longtemps. La roue oscillante 111 agit sur le mécanisme de la porte 102 par l'intermédiaire d'un câble non représenté sur les figures et qui est tiré par une poulie 128. Cette dernière est connectée à la roue oscillante 111 par un arbre 129 de sorte à tourner avec lui autour du deuxième axe 112.When the lever 105 is pulled, the oscillating wheel 111 rotates in the frame 101 about a second axis 112 which is substantially parallel to the first axis 107. A helical spring 113 is disposed coaxially with the oscillating wheel 111 to recall it in its original position, with the lever 105, when the latter is not pulled any longer. The oscillating wheel 111 acts on the mechanism of the door 102 via a cable not shown in the figures and which is pulled by a pulley 128. The latter is connected to the oscillating wheel 111 by a shaft 129 so as to turn with him around the second axis 112.

La poignée comporte également un balancier 116 articulé sur le châssis 101 ou d'une partie solidaire de ce châssis. Ce balancier 116 pivote autour d'un troisième axe 117 sensiblement parallèle au premier axe 107 autour duquel le levier de poignée 105 tourne. L'extrémité du balancier 116 située entre ce troisième axe 117 et le premier axe 107 est pourvue d'une masse d'inertie 118 qui est de forme plate et est disposée près du centre du châssis 101, de sorte que la masse d'inertie 118 est sensiblement parallèle à ces axes, tandis qu'une ligne droite passant par les centres de gravité de la masse d'inertie 118 et du levier 105 est sensiblement perpendiculaire à ceux-ci.The handle also comprises a rocker 116 hinged to the frame 101 or a part integral with this frame. This rocker 116 pivots about a third axis 117 substantially parallel to the first axis 107 around which the handle lever 105 rotates. The end of the rocker 116 located between this third axis 117 and the first axis 107 is provided with a mass of inertia 118 which is of flat shape and is disposed near the center of the frame 101, so that the mass of inertia 118 is substantially parallel to these axes, while a straight line passing through the centers of gravity of the mass of inertia 118 and the lever 105 is substantially perpendicular to them.

Des moyens élastiques 119, en particulier un ressort hélicoïdal disposé entre le balancier 116 et le châssis 101, presse le balancier 116 contre une butée solidaire du châssis 101, en position de repos. Cette butée non représentée en détail peut être constituée d'un tenon conformé sur le châssis 101 et retenant le balancier à l'encontre de l'effort de poussée du ressort 119. Ce ressort hélicoïdal peut être remplacé par un ressort de torsion disposé selon le troisième axe 117. La roue oscillante 111 est pourvue d'un épaulement 124 s'étendant vers la pièce de butée 130 qui fait saillie du balancier 116. Lors d'une ouverture normale du levier 105 de poignée, la roue 111 est entraînée en rotation et l'épaulement 124 passe près de la pièce de butée 130 sans la toucher, le balancier 116 étant immobile en position de repos, mais la heurte, empêchant la rotation de la roue oscillante 111, lors d'un pivotement violent sur le balancier.Elastic means 119, in particular a helical spring disposed between the rocker 116 and the frame 101, presses the rocker 116 against an abutment integral with the frame 101, in the rest position. This abutment, not shown in detail, may consist of a tenon shaped on the frame 101 and holding the balance against the thrust force of the spring 119. This coil spring may be replaced by a torsion spring disposed according to the third axis 117. The oscillating wheel 111 is provided with a shoulder 124 extending towards the abutment piece 130 which projects from the rocker 116. During a normal opening of the handle lever 105, the wheel 111 is rotated and the shoulder 124 passes near the stop piece 130 without touching it, the rocker 116 being stationary in the rest position, but the strike, preventing the rotation of the oscillating wheel 111, during a violent pivoting on the balance.

Comme représenté sur les figures 3 et 4, l'on constate que dans le cas d'un accident, si le levier de poignée 105 subit une force qui tendrait à l'ouvrir dans la direction de la flèche 106, la masse d'inertie 118 sera également soumise à la même force, de sorte que le balancier 116 pivotera, surmontant la force du ressort 119, ce qui entraîne que la pièce de butée 130 est déplacée vers la roue oscillante 111. La pièce de butée 130 du balancier 116, dans sa nouvelle position illustrée par les figures 3 et 4, intercepte et verrouille l'épaulement 124 au début de la rotation de la roue oscillante 111 tirée par le levier 105, ce qui l'empêchera de tourner et donc empêchera l'ouverture de la porte.As shown on Figures 3 and 4 it is found that in the event of an accident, if the handle lever 105 experiences a force tending to open it in the direction of the arrow 106, the mass of inertia 118 will also be subjected to the same force , so that the rocker 116 will pivot, overcoming the force of the spring 119, which causes the stop piece 130 is moved to the oscillating wheel 111. The stop piece 130 of the balance 116, in its new position illustrated by the Figures 3 and 4 , intercepts and locks the shoulder 124 at the beginning of the rotation of the oscillating wheel 111 pulled by the lever 105, which will prevent it from rotating and thus prevent the opening of the door.

Selon l'invention, la poignée comprend également une pièce de blocage du balancier 116 dans sa position active représentée sur les figures 3 et 4.According to the invention, the handle also comprises a blocking piece of the rocker 116 in its active position shown on the Figures 3 and 4 .

Le balancier 116 comporte un ergot 116A sur sa face opposée à celle portant la pièce de butée 130, cet ergot venant s'accrocher sur la pièce de blocage, en position active.The rocker 116 has a lug 116A on its opposite side to that bearing the abutment piece 130, this lug being hooked on the locking piece in the active position.

Cette pièce de blocage est constituée d'une lame élastique 200 solidaire du châssis 101 par l'une de ses extrémités par exemple vissée grâce à une vis 201 sur une paroi de renfort du châssis 101. Cette lame 200 comporte un orifice d'accrochage 202 de l'ergot 116A, en position active. La lame est calibrée et dimensionnée afin d'être précontrainte en poussée sur cet ergot dans la position de repos, telle qu'illustrée par la figure 2.This locking piece consists of an elastic blade 200 secured to the frame 101 by one of its ends, for example screwed by a screw 201 on a reinforcing wall of the frame 101. This blade 200 has a hooking orifice 202 of the lug 116A, in the active position. The blade is calibrated and dimensioned so as to be prestressed by pushing on this pin in the rest position, as illustrated by the figure 2 .

En position de repos du balancier 116 comme représenté sur les figures 1 et 2, lors d'une ouverture normale du levier 105 de poignée par tirée selon la flèche 106, la roue 111 est entraînée en rotation et l'épaulement 124 passe près de la pièce de butée 130 sans la toucher. La lame de blocage 200 est alors en précontrainte contre l'ergot 116A qui est en appui contre cette lame à proximité de l'orifice d'accrochage 202.In the rest position of the balance 116 as shown on the Figures 1 and 2 during normal opening of the handle lever 105 by pulling along the arrow 106, the wheel 111 is rotated and the shoulder 124 passes near the stop piece 130 without touching it. The locking blade 200 is then prestressed against the lug 116A which bears against this blade near the attachment hole 202.

En cas d'accident, lors d'un choc latéral violent, comme il a été précisé plus haut et est illustré par les figures 3 et 4, le balancier 116 pivote, surmontant la force du ressort 119, et la pièce de butée 130 du balancier 116 intercepte et verrouille l'épaulement 124. En même temps, de par la rotation du balancier, l'ergot 116A glisse sur la lame en direction de l'orifice d'accrochage 202 et vient s'accrocher dans ce dernier. Dans cette position précisément représentée par la figure 4, de par sa forme, le balancier 116 est bloqué et ne peut continuer à osciller ou revenir en position de repos. La pièce de butée 130 du balancier 116 verrouille donc définitivement l'épaulement 124 et la roue 111 empêchant efficacement tout déplacement du levier 105 de poignée et toute ouverture de la porte.In the event of an accident, during a violent side impact, as specified above and illustrated by Figures 3 and 4 , the rocker arm 116 pivots, overcoming the force of the spring 119, and the abutment piece 130 of the rocker arm 116 intercepts and locks the shoulder 124. At the same time, by the rotation of the rocker arm, the lug 116A slides on the blade direction of the attachment hole 202 and hangs in the latter. In this position precisely represented by the figure 4 by its shape, the rocker 116 is blocked and can not continue to oscillate or return to the rest position. The stop piece 130 of the rocker arm 116 thus permanently locks the shoulder 124 and the wheel 111 effectively preventing any movement of the handle lever 105 and any opening of the door.

La présente invention a été décrite par rapport à un mode de réalisation dans lequel la lame élastique 200 est une pièce rapportée maintenue solidaire au châssis 101 mais cette lame élastique 200 peut également être réalisée de manière intégrale avec le châssis 101 ou également faire partie d'un levier que présente la poignée ou même de la masse inertielle elle-même.The present invention has been described with respect to an embodiment in which the resilient blade 200 is an insert attached to the frame 101 but this resilient blade 200 can also be integral with the frame 101 or also be part of a lever that presents the handle or even the inertial mass itself.

L'invention est décrite ci-dessus selon un mode de réalisation spécifique mais il va de soi qu'elle s'applique à des poignées comportant un système de sécurité de type différent, le principe général de l'invention étant le blocage de l'élément de verrouillage dans sa position active.The invention is described above according to a specific embodiment but it goes without saying that it applies to handles having a different type of security system, the general principle of the invention being the blocking of the locking element in its active position.
