Definitions

  • the technical sector of the present invention is that of doors and hinges and more particularly that of devices for damping a shock exerted on the door.
  • the hardware may come knocking the door during its movement.
  • the resistance of the door then ensures the safety of the operator. To date there is no device provided to withstand such shocks without the risk of breaking the door.
  • the patent DE-19912557 describes a rod for adjusting the opening angle of a hatch but this rod does not include any damping means.
  • the FR-2578017 discloses a gas spring for opening a vehicle tailgate. It also describes a rod with damping means.
  • the patent GB-511868 describes a device for adjusting the opening angle of a car windshield.
  • the joints are not elastic joints but patches in which a spring means allows apply a portion of the patella against his seat.
  • the present invention addresses these various problems by providing a door capable of withstanding a shock on the door, whatever its direction, ensuring sufficient energy absorption to ensure the holding of the door and thus the protection of the operator .
  • the subject of the invention is a secured hatch comprising a door that can be opened relative to the frame by rotation about an axis, said axis passing through at least one bearing integral with the frame and at least one hinge integral with the door, comprising at least one damping link. interposed between the frame and the door in a direction substantially perpendicular to the door, said link comprising a first end secured to the frame and a second end secured to the door, characterized in that the damping link comprises two sliding parts relative to one another; to the other and compressing between them a damping pad as they approach one another, the two sliding parts of the damping link being fixed together with a pin calibrated to break with an effort determined.
  • the damping link comprises at each of its ends an elastic hinge.
  • the damping pad consists of elastomer or metal foam.
  • the invention also relates to the application of a secured hatch to the protection of an operator in an armored vehicle against shocks that may be caused by the movements in site or in the field of a turret or a weapon.
  • An advantage of the hatch according to the invention is to provide protection for the operator in the event of failure of the control system of the mobile equipment.
  • Another advantage of the hatch is to allow to withstand a force coming from different directions.
  • Another advantage of the hatch is to dissipate the energy of the shock to limit the risk of rupture and / or injury.
  • Another advantage of the hatch lies, when using intermediate bearings, in the division of the energy of the shock on a larger number of damping cushions.
  • the frame 1 of an equipment provided with a hatch is partially shown the frame 1 of an equipment provided with a hatch according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • the frame has an opening la to allow an operator to pass the head or bust for observation.
  • the chassis 1 is the bodywork of a vehicle, for example a military vehicle, and said opening is a manhole allowing the driver or the head of the vehicle to leave the head to drive with direct vision or to perceive his environment live. This is generally preferable to seeing through viewfinders or episcopes.
  • the opening is closed by a door 2 here shown in three distinct positions 2a, 2b, 2c and allows by its movement to close or release said opening 1a.
  • position 2a the door is closed and protects the opening.
  • position 2b the door is semi-open and partially releases the opening.
  • position 2c the door is fully open and releases the opening 1a more completely.
  • the operator can take out the head and / or the bust through the opening la.
  • This articulation comprises an axis 3, at least one bearing 4, 5 and at least one hinge 8, 9 or 10.
  • the axis 3 is held in position by bearings 4, 5, 6, 7 integral with the frame 1.
  • the door 2 is fixed on the axis 3 by means of the hinges 8, 9, 10 while allowing its rotation around said axis 3.
  • the figure 2 also illustrates the arrangement of damping cushions 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 of the movement of the door. For better efficiency damping, is interposed a cushion cushion along the axis 3 between each bearing 4, 5, 6 or 7 secured to the frame and a hinge 8, 9 or 10 integral with the door 2.
  • the damping cushions are intended primarily to support a shock is exerted in the plane of the door 2. Such a shock is caused by a moving object from striking the door 2 in a direction D1 or D2.
  • such a shock may be caused by the rotation of a turret bearing to meet the door 2 remained in the open position.
  • the door 2 will tend to move to the right in the plane of the figure.
  • This will be cushioned by the compression of the cushion 12 between the hinge 8 and the bearing 6, the cushion 14 between the hinge 9 and the bearing 7, the cushion 16 between the hinge 10 and the bearing 5.
  • the cushions 11, 13 and 15 are not solicited in this case.
  • shock in the direction D2 it is the cushions 11, 13 and 15 which are compressed between, respectively, the hinge 8 and the bearing 4, the hinge 9 and the bearing 6, the hinge 10 and the bearing 7.
  • the figure 3 partially illustrates the articulation shown in section along the axis 3.
  • the axis 3 passes through an end bearing 4 and a hinge 8. So that the rotational movement allowing the opening of the door 2 is possible , the hinge 8 has a game allowing it to rotate about the axis 3. This game can be provided at the level of the bearing 4. For the damping function is assured, it is necessary that the hinge 8 can translate along the axis 3.
  • the axis 3 is preferably stopped in translation relative to the bearing 4, for example by a shoulder 3a.
  • An intermediate bearing, such as the bearing 6, does not provide any function in the rotation of the door 2, but only a stop function in translation of the adjacent damping cushions 12, 13 and advantageously has a clearance of 6. much larger in relation to axis 3.
  • the figure 3 still shows an alternative embodiment using damping cushions 11, 12, 13 having a particular dome shape.
  • damping cushions 11, 12, 13 having a particular dome shape.
  • This particular arrangement makes it possible to take advantage of the advantageous damping properties of the material constituting these cushions when this material is stressed in shear and no longer in compression, as is the case with the embodiment according to the invention. figure 2 .
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to damp an impact coming from a direction transverse to the plane of the door, such as, for example, the direction D 0 represented on FIG. figure 1 .
  • This case corresponds for example to a fallout of the tube of the weapon (barrel) on the door 2 disposed in the open position 2b or 2c.
  • the device previously described at the joint is completed by one (or more) link 17 according to the invention.
  • the figure 1 indicates the positioning of the rod 17 relative to the chassis 1 and the door 2.
  • the link has a substantially flat shape and comprises fastening means at each of its ends 18, 19 to the frame and the door.
  • the first end 18 is integral with the frame 1 and the second end 19 is integral with the door 2.
  • the rod 17 is advantageously placed at the lateral ends of the door 2 in order to free up the passage for the operator.
  • the attachment points of the rod are chosen so as to place said rod in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the door 2, in order to oppose its closing movement or, if appropriate, opening.
  • the end 19 of the rod 17 is advantageously fixed to the door 2.
  • a means (not shown) ensures the positioning of the end 19 of the rod 17 relative to the frame 1.
  • each end 18, 19 has a tube 28, 29 complementary to an axis 30 secured to the frame 1.
  • a similar axis 31 is provided at the end 19, integral with the door 2.
  • the connection between the tube 28 or 29 and its attachment axis 30 or 31 is such that rotation is possible.
  • the tube 28 or 29 is advantageously connected to the end 18 or 19 by an elastic articulation 20 or 21.
  • This elastic articulation is made for example by means of an elastomer bonded between the outer diameter of the tube 28 or 29 and the internal diameter of the end 18 or 19.
  • the main function of this elastic hinge is to allow the rod 17, by deformation of the elastomer, to support a possible displacement of the door 2 during an impact in the plane of the door (Direction D1 or D2).
  • the main function of the rod 17 is to damp a shock in a direction transverse to the plane of the door 2, for example D0. Such a shock tends to bring the two ends 18 and 19 closer to one another.
  • the rod 17 must dampen the shock and dissipate the maximum energy of this shock.
  • the link 17 consists of two parts 22 and 23 of complementary shapes in order to slide telescopically relative to each other.
  • a first means for damping the shock along the axis of the link 17 is constituted by a damping pad 24 interposed between the two parts 22 and 23 so as to be compressed between these two parts 22 and 23 as they come together.
  • a second means of damping the impact on the rod 17 is constituted by a pin 25 calibrated to break beyond a given breaking force. This pin passes through the two parts 22 and 23 and secures them.
  • a shock on the hatch in any direction is divided into two components: a first component in the plane of the door 2 which is damped by the device comprising the damping cushions 11, 12, 13, 14 , 15, 16 present at the joint between the door 2 and the frame 1, a second component substantially perpendicular to the plane of the door 2 which is damped by the rod 17 along its axis.
  • All the elements involved in damping, damping cushions 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, elastic joints 20, 21, buffer 24, cotter pin 25 are deformable. These deformations can be elastic and / or plastic. In order to dissipate energy, plastic deformation is preferable. Another advantage of components to Plastic deformation is to provide, by measuring the amplitude of the remanent deformation, a measure of the amplitude of the shock suffered.
  • the materials used can be of different types. For example, elastomers, but also metal materials used for their elastic properties, in the form of springs or spring washers. These metals can be massive or shaped rods or spiral cables or any other equivalent form.
  • Another possibility, offering great plasticity characteristics is the use of foam metals. This foam can be obtained by compaction of filings, wire, chips or wire mesh. It is also possible to envisage the use of structured sheet metals, for example of the honeycomb type.
  • the device in the preferential use of protection of an operator passing the head in a hatch located near a mobile / rotating equipment, the device is a backup in case of failure of the control system said material. Its use remains exceptional and maintenance after use is acceptable. This therefore allows the use of consumables: pin 24 and shock absorbers plastic deformation, which are intended to be replaced after use.
