Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de fiabilisation d'un contacteur d'état d'ouvrant de véhicule. Elle s'applique notamment, mais non exclusivement, à la détection de la position d'un ouvrant de véhicule.The present invention relates to a method and a device for reliability of a vehicle opening state switch. It applies in particular, but not exclusively, to the detection of the position of a vehicle opening.

ETAT DE LA TECHNIQUESTATE OF THE ART

D'une façon générale, les ouvrants de véhicule, tels les portières avant et arrière, les portes latérales ou haillons, les capots coffre et moteur, les toits ouvrants, etc., doivent faire l'objet d'une connaissance rigoureuse de leur état, à savoir "état ouvert" ou "état fermé", pour des raisons évidentes de sécurité.In general, vehicle openings, such as front and rear doors, side doors or rags, boot and engine hoods, sunroofs, etc., must be the subject of a rigorous knowledge of their condition. , ie "open state" or "closed state", for obvious security reasons.

L'intégration de dispositifs permettant de connaître l'état des ouvrants dans un véhicule a permis d'améliorer la sécurité dans la conduite du véhicule en associant à l'observation physique de l'état de l'ouvrant par le conducteur, des informations visuelles et/ou sonores destinées audit conducteur.The integration of devices to know the state of the openings in a vehicle has improved safety in driving the vehicle by combining the physical observation of the state of the opening by the driver, visual information and / or sound intended for said driver.

Ces informations sont de nature visuelle (voyant lumineux, affichage sur écran), ou de nature sonore ("buzzer", synthèse vocale), ou éventuellement de nature opérationnelle (impossibilité de mise en route du moteur).This information is of a visual nature (indicator light, on-screen display), or of a sound nature ("buzzer", voice synthesis), or possibly of an operational nature (impossibility of starting the engine).

D'une manière générale, ces informations sont issues préalablement de capteurs d'état de l'ouvrant ; traditionnellement, ces capteurs d'état sont des contacteurs fermant un contact entre un pôle dit "commun" et un pôle dit "contact travail", ce contact étant fermé dans la position ouverte de l'ouvrant. En d'autres termes, lorsque l'ouvrant est en position ouverte, le contacteur est en position fermée, c'est-à-dire en position dite "normalement ouvert".In general, this information is previously derived from state sensors of the opening; Traditionally, these state sensors are contactors closing a contact between a so-called "common" pole and a pole called "work contact", this contact being closed in the open position of the opening. In other words, when the opening is in the open position, the contactor is in the closed position, that is to say in the so-called "normally open" position.

Cette position dite "normalement ouvert", fermant un contact électrique, permet d'alimenter un voyant lumineux par l'intermédiaire d'une source électrique, ou de mettre à la masse du circuit électrique, une entrée logique d'une unité de contrôle électronique, laquelle unité de contrôle électronique commande à son tour, un afficheur, ou un "buzzer", ou une phrase prononcée par synthèse vocale.This so-called "normally open" position, closing an electrical contact, makes it possible to supply an indicator light via an electrical source, or to ground the electrical circuit, a logic input of an electronic control unit , which electronic control unit in turn controls, a display, or a "buzzer", or a sentence pronounced by voice synthesis.

Ainsi, ces informations participent à la gestion du véhicule, et permettent aux occupants dudit véhicule de connaître à tout instant l'état réel des ouvrants.Thus, this information involved in the management of the vehicle, and allow the occupants of said vehicle to know at any time the actual state of the opening.

D'une manière générale, on utilise pour des raisons d'exploitation de pièces catalogues, des contacteurs à 3 contacts : un contact dit "travail" NO, un contact dit "repos" NC et un contact dit "commun", pour lesquels on utilise uniquement les contacts NO et C. Cela suppose que le contact entre ces deux pôles soit toujours parfaitement réalisé lorsque l'ouvrant est réellement ouvert, c'est-à-dire en position totalement ouverte ou en position partiellement ouverte.In general, for the purpose of exploiting catalog parts, contactors with 3 contacts are used: a "work" contact NO, a "rest" contact NC and a "common" contact, for which one uses only the contacts NO and C. This assumes that the contact between these two poles is always perfectly achieved when the opening is actually open, that is to say in fully open position or partially open position.

Ainsi, en cas de "pollution interne" du contacteur, c'est-à-dire en cas de défaillance de la lame de contact due à un éventuel blocage, à une oxydation d'un des deux contacts, à une déformation accidentelle du contacteur, etc., l'information issue du contacteur ne sera pas fiable, pouvant entraîner ainsi des conséquences évidentes quant à la conduite du véhicule.Thus, in case of "internal pollution" of the contactor, that is to say in case of failure of the contact blade due to possible blockage, oxidation of one of the two contacts, accidental deformation of the contactor , etc., the information from the contactor will not be reliable, which may result in obvious consequences for driving the vehicle.

Par ailleurs, les contacteurs traditionnels présentent généralement, lors de la fermeture d'un contact, un effet dit de rebond, dû à l'élasticité de la lame de contact sous l'effet de la pression exercée sur elle ; cet effet de rebond provoque une pluralité d'informations contradictoires durant un court instant.Furthermore, the traditional contactors generally have, when closing a contact, a so-called rebound effect, due to the elasticity of the contact blade under the effect of the pressure exerted on it; this rebound effect causes a plurality of contradictory information for a short time.

Ce phénomène nécessite une validation de l'état après un nombre de scrutations défini, généralement effectuée par l'unité de contrôle électronique.This phenomenon requires a validation of the state after a defined number of scans, usually performed by the electronic control unit.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

L'invention a donc plus particulièrement pour but de supprimer ces inconvénients.The object of the invention is therefore more particularly to eliminate these disadvantages.

Elle propose à cet effet d'associer à un contacteur bipolaire une fonction logique dite "OU EXCLUSIF", permettant ainsi de définir l'information complémentaire entre l'état ouvert de l'ouvrant et l'état fermé de l'ouvrant.It proposes for this purpose to associate with a bipolar contactor a logical function called "EXCLUSIVE OR", thus defining the complementary information between the open state of the opening and the closed state of the opening.

De ce fait, l'invention autorise :

  • une redondance de l'information permettant de s'affranchir d'une défaillance d'un des contacts,
  • une détection des courts-circuits,
  • une détection des circuits ouverts.
As a result, the invention allows:
  • a redundancy of information making it possible to overcome a failure of one of the contacts,
  • short circuit detection,
  • detection of open circuits.

Grâce à ces dispositions, l'invention permet la connaissance fiable de l'état des ouvrants d'un véhicule en associant une fonction logique simple aux contacteurs d'ouvrant.Thanks to these provisions, the invention allows the reliable knowledge of the state of the opening of a vehicle by associating a simple logic function to the door contactors.

BREVE DESCRIPTION DES FIGURESBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

Un mode d'exécution de l'invention sera décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, avec référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels l'unique figure représente un schéma électrique d'un contacteur bipolaire associé à une unité de contrôle électronique, selon l'invention.One embodiment of the invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which the single figure shows an electrical diagram of a bipolar contactor associated with an electronic control unit. according to the invention.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE MODES DE REALISATION NON LIMITATIFS DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF NON-LIMITING EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Dans l'exemple illustré sur l'unique figure, l'ouvrant du véhicule est représenté par un bloc contacteur d'ouvrant CPO, associé à la serrure dudit ouvrant, non représentée, lequel contacteur d'ouvrant bipolaire comprend trois contacts : un contact dit "travail" NO, un contact dit "repos" NC et un contact dit "commun" C.In the example illustrated in the single figure, the opening of the vehicle is represented by a contactor block CPO, associated with the lock of said opening, not shown, which bipolar opening switch comprises three contacts: a contact said "work" NO, a contact says "rest" NC and a contact said "common" C.

Ainsi, lorsque l'ouvrant est en position ouvert, le contact commun C est relié au contact travail NO ; réciproquement, lorsque l'ouvrant est en position fermé, le contact commun C est relié au contact repos NC.Thus, when the opening is in the open position, the common contact C is connected to the working contact NO; conversely, when the opening is in the closed position, the common contact C is connected to the NC contact NC.

Une unité de contrôle électronique est représentée par un bloc UCH, alimentée entre une source de tension +Vc (généralement la batterie du véhicule), et la masse électrique M du véhicule, au travers d'un relais RE, lequel relais RE est commandé par la clé de contact du véhicule.An electronic control unit is represented by a UCH block, fed between a voltage source + Vc (generally the vehicle battery), and the electric ground M of the vehicle, through a relay RE, which relay RE is controlled by the ignition key of the vehicle.

L'unité de contrôle électronique UCH comprend au moins deux entrées logiques E1, E2, lesquelles entrées logiques sont portées au potentiel +Vc au travers respectivement de résistances R1, R2.The electronic control unit UCH comprises at least two logic inputs E 1 , E 2 , which logic inputs are brought to the potential + Vc through resistors R 1 , R 2 respectively .

Les susdites entrées logiques E1, E2, de l'unité de contrôle électronique UCH sont reliées respectivement aux contacts NO, NC ; le contact C est par ailleurs relié à la masse électrique M du véhicule.The aforesaid logic inputs E 1 , E 2 , of the electronic control unit UCH are respectively connected to the contacts NO, NC; the contact C is also connected to the electrical ground M of the vehicle.

Ainsi, lorsque l'ouvrant est en position ouvert, le contact C est relié au contact NO, ce qui a pour conséquence de mettre l'entrée logique E1 au potentiel de la masse M, la valeur de la variable logique à l'entrée E1 est donc 0 ; par ailleurs, le contact C n'étant pas relié au contact NC, l'entrée logique E2 est au potentiel +Vc, la variable logique de l'entrée E2 est donc 1.Thus, when the opening is in the open position, the contact C is connected to the NO contact, which has the consequence of setting the logic input E 1 to the potential of the ground M, the value of the logic variable at the input E 1 is therefore 0; moreover, since the contact C is not connected to the NC contact, the logic input E 2 is at the potential + Vc, the logical variable of the input E 2 is therefore 1.

Réciproquement, lorsque l'ouvrant est en position fermé, le contact C n'est pas relié au contact NO, ce qui a pour conséquence de mettre l'entrée logique E1 au potentiel +Vc, la valeur de la variable logique à l'entrée E1 est donc 1 ; par ailleurs, le contact C étant relié au contact NC, l'entrée logique E2 est au potentiel de la masse M, la variable logique de l'entrée E2 est donc 0.Conversely, when the opening is in the closed position, the contact C is not connected to the NO contact, which has the consequence of setting the logic input E 1 to the potential + Vc, the value of the logic variable to input E 1 is 1; moreover, the contact C being connected to the contact NC, the logic input E 2 is at the potential of the mass M, the logical variable of the input E 2 is therefore 0.

L'unité de contrôle électronique UCH comprend au moins une fonction logique "OU EXCLUSIF", bien connue par ailleurs, et non représentée, laquelle fonction "OU EXCLUSIF" comprend les susdites entrées logiques E1, E2.The UCH electronic control unit comprises at least one "EXCLUSIVE OR" logical function, which is well known and is not represented, which "EXCLUSIVE OR" function comprises the aforesaid logic inputs E 1 , E 2 .

La table dite "de vérité" de la fonction logique "OU EXCLUSIF" associée au contacteur d'ouvrant CPO est donc la suivante : NO NC état de l'ouvrant du véhicule 0 0 défaillance du contacteur (ou court-circuit), 0 1 ouvrant réellement ouvert, 1 0 ouvrant réellement fermé, 1 1 défaillance du contacteur (ou circuit ouvert). The so-called "truth" table of the "EXCLUSIVE OR" logical function associated with the CPO opening contactor is therefore the following: NO NC condition of the opening of the vehicle 0 0 contactor failure (or short circuit), 0 1 opening really open, 1 0 actually opening closed, 1 1 contactor failure (or open circuit).

Ainsi, la fonction logique "OU EXCLUSIF" associée au contacteur d'ouvrant CPO permet notamment de détecter une éventuelle défaillance dudit contacteur, lorsque les deux entrées E1, E2, respectivement associées aux contacts NO, NC, sont simultanément au même potentiel, à savoir :

  • au potentiel de la masse M (NO = 0 et NC = 0),
  • au potentiel +Vc (NO = 1 et NC = 1).
Thus, the logical function "EXCLUSIVE OR" associated with the opening contactor CPO makes it possible in particular to detect a possible failure of said contactor, when the two inputs E 1 , E 2 , respectively associated with the contacts NO, NC, are simultaneously at the same potential, to know :
  • at the potential of the mass M (NO = 0 and NC = 0),
  • at potential + Vc (NO = 1 and NC = 1).

Dans le premier cas, soit les deux contacts repos et travail sont en court-circuit avec la masse électrique du véhicule, soit la liaison au contacteur est en court-circuit.In the first case, either the two rest and work contacts are short-circuited with the vehicle's electrical ground, or the connection to the contactor is short-circuited.

Dans le second cas, soit les deux contacts repos et travail sont oxydés, ou font l'objet du phénomène de rebond (état intermédiaire), soit font l'objet d'une rupture de liaison électrique avec l'unité de contrôle électronique.In the second case, either the two rest and work contacts are oxidized, or are subject to the rebound phenomenon (intermediate state), or are subject to a break in electrical connection with the electronic control unit.

Avantageusement, l'unité de contrôle électronique pourra comprendre une fonctionnalité d'analyse de défaillance permettant de discriminer :

  • un état correspondant au phénomène de rebond,
  • un état de défaillance du contacteur par court-circuit permanent,
  • un état de défaillance du contacteur par circuit ouvert permanent.
Advantageously, the electronic control unit may include a failure analysis feature making it possible to discriminate:
  • a state corresponding to the rebound phenomenon,
  • a state of failure of the contactor by permanent short circuit,
  • a state of failure of the contactor by permanent open circuit.

Ainsi, cette fonctionnalité d'analyse permettra soit d'inhiber le phénomène de rebond, soit d'avertir le conducteur de véhicule d'une défaillance du contacteur de l'ouvrant, ou de la liaison électrique jusqu'à ce contacteur.Thus, this analysis feature will either inhibit the rebound phenomenon or warn the driver of a vehicle failure of the switch of the opening, or the electrical connection to this contactor.

En conclusion, le procédé de fiabilisation du contacteur d'état d'ouvrant de véhicule, tels les portières avant et arrière, les portes latérales ou haillons, les capots coffre et moteur, les toits ouvrants, etc., permettra une connaissance rigoureuse de son état, à savoir "état réellement ouvert" ou "état réellement fermé", pour des raisons évidentes de sécurité.In conclusion, the method of reliability of the vehicle opening status switch, such as front and rear doors, side doors or rags, trunk and engine hoods, sunroofs, etc., will allow a rigorous knowledge of his state, namely "really open state" or "actually closed state", for obvious security reasons.
