Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'amortissement de vibrations d'une gâche destiné à équiper un ouvrant de véhicule.The present invention relates to a vibration damping device for a strike intended to equip a vehicle opening.

Les carrosseries de véhicule sont soumises à des vibrations provenant essentiellement d'une part des cahots provoqués par la non uniformité de la chaussée lors du roulage, et d'autre part provenant du moteur du véhicule en fonctionnement. Ces vibrations, majoritairement de type basse fréquence, se propagent notamment dans les serrures des ouvrants du véhicule, occasionnant non seulement des bruits gênants pour les passagers du véhicule mais aussi des éventuelles détériorations des serrures.The vehicle bodies are subjected to vibrations resulting mainly from the jolts caused by the non-uniformity of the roadway during driving, and secondly from the engine of the vehicle in operation. These vibrations, mostly of the low frequency type, are propagated in particular in the locks of the opening of the vehicle, causing not only annoying noises for the passengers of the vehicle but also possible deterioration of the locks.

Afin de pallier le problème précité de la propagation des vibrations dans les serrures, il est notamment connu du document EP 1 113 128 d'utiliser un système de fixation d'une gâche à la carrosserie comportant un coussinet de caoutchouc ou de matière synthétique présentant une face supérieure et une face inférieure ; le coussinet s'interposant entre la gâche et la carrosserie afin d'absorber la plus grande partie des vibrations.In order to overcome the aforementioned problem of the propagation of vibrations in locks, it is notably known from the document EP 1 113 128 using a system for attaching a striker to the bodywork comprising a pad of rubber or synthetic material having an upper face and a lower face; the pad interposed between the striker and the body to absorb most of the vibration.

Un tel système de fixation comporte une plaque supérieure formant support de la gâche, une plaque inférieure solidaire de la carrosserie, les deux plaques étant solidaires entre elles. Le coussinet est disposé de manière à s'intercaler entre la plaque supérieure et la plaque inférieure.Such a fastening system comprises an upper plate forming a support for the striker, a lower plate integral with the body, the two plates being integral with each other. The pad is arranged to be interposed between the upper plate and the lower plate.

Ces deux plaques sont rendues solidaires entre elles par un moyen de collage avec les deux faces du coussinet. Comme précisé dans le document EP 1 113 128 , au paragraphe [006], la liaison par collage des plaques au coussinet ne résiste pas à de très fortes sollicitations. Ainsi, lors d'un accident, la gâche peut être arrachée, provoquant l'ouverture de l'ouvrant et pouvant occasionner un accident de personne.These two plates are secured to each other by a bonding means with both faces of the pad. As stated in the document EP 1 113 128 in paragraph [006], bonding of the plates to the pad does not withstand very high loads. Thus, during an accident, the striker can be torn off, causing the opening of the door and may cause an accident.

A cet égard, le système de fixation comporte en outre une vis double tête. La première tête de vis est destinée à former appui contre la plaque inférieure de manière à fixer la plaque inférieure à la carrosserie tandis que la seconde tête de vis, sans contact avec la plaque supérieure, est destinée à assurer une fonction de retenue de sécurité si et seulement si la plaque supérieure se décolle de la face supérieure du coussinet.In this regard, the fastening system further comprises a double-headed screw. The first screw head is intended to form a bearing against the lower plate so as to fix the lower plate to the body while the second screw head, without contact with the upper plate, is intended to provide a safety restraint function if and only if the top plate comes off the upper face of the pad.

Il est important que la seconde tête de vis ne soit pas en contact avec la plaque supérieure afin de ne pas propager par la vis les vibrations provenant de la plaque inférieure -issues de la carrosserie- sur la plaque supérieure et pas voie de conséquence dans la gâche. C'est pourquoi la seconde tête de vis ne peut agir, dans une telle configuration, en tant que moyen de fixation de la plaque supérieure mais en tant que moyen de retenue, en prévision d'un décollement de la plaque supérieure de la face supérieure du coussinet.It is important that the second screw head is not in contact with the upper plate so as not to propagate through the screw the vibrations coming from the lower plate -issues of the bodywork- on the top plate and no consequence way in the spoils. That is why the second screw head can not act, in such a configuration, as a means of fixing the upper plate but as a retaining means, in anticipation of a detachment of the upper plate of the upper face. cushion.

Bien que résolvant le problème d'arrachage de la gâche par l'ajout de la vis double tête, l'inconvénient majeur d'un tel système est qu'il ne résout pas fondamentalement le problème de la faible résistance mécanique de la liaison par collage entre la plaque supérieure et la face supérieure du coussinet. En effet, la plaque supérieure n'est rendue solidaire de la plaque inférieure qu'avec une liaison par collage, de faible résistance mécanique, avec la face supérieure du coussinet.Although solving the problem of tearing the strike by the addition of the double-headed screw, the major disadvantage of such a system is that it does not fundamentally solve the problem of the low mechanical strength of the connection by bonding between the upper plate and the upper face of the pad. Indeed, the upper plate is secured to the lower plate with a bonding bonding, low mechanical strength, with the upper face of the pad.

La présente invention a pour objet de remédier à l'inconvénient majeur précité et consiste à cet effet en un dispositif d'amortissement de vibrations d'une gâche destiné à équiper un ouvrant de véhicule, ledit dispositif comportant une plaque supérieure présentant une face supérieure et une face inférieure, la face supérieure étant destinée à former support de la gâche ; la plaque supérieure étant pourvue d'au moins un premier orifice ; une plaque inférieure destinée à être solidarisée à l'ouvrant, la plaque inférieure étant pourvue d'au moins une première ouverture en regard du premier orifice ; un premier moyen d'amortissement présentant une partie centrale creuse s'étendant sur le bord périphérique intérieur du premier orifice, une partie basse s'intercalant entre la plaque inférieure et la plaque supérieure ; une partie haute s'étendant sur la face supérieure de la plaque supérieure ; une vis conformée pour s'engager à travers la partie centrale de manière à être sans contact avec la plaque supérieure et comprenant un corps de vis, une première tête de vis destinée à fixer la plaque inférieure à l'ouvrant ; une seconde tête de vis, en saillie de la face supérieure de la plaque supérieure ; ledit dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que la vis est disposée relativement à la partie haute de manière à ce que la seconde tête de vis vienne plaquer la partie haute contre la plaque supérieure.The present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned major drawback and consists for this purpose in a vibration damping device of a strike intended to equip a vehicle door, said device comprising an upper plate having an upper face and a lower face, the upper face being intended to form the holder of the striker; the upper plate being provided with at least a first orifice; a lower plate intended to be secured to the opening, the lower plate being provided with at least a first opening facing the first orifice; first damping means having a hollow central portion extending over the inner peripheral edge of the first orifice, a lower portion being interposed between the lower plate and the upper plate; an upper part extending on the upper face of the upper plate; a screw shaped to engage through the central portion so as to be non-contacting the top plate and comprising a screw body, a first screw head for securing the bottom plate to the sash; a second screw head protruding from the upper face of the upper plate; said device being characterized in that the screw is arranged relative to the upper part so that the second screw head comes to press the upper part against the upper plate.

Ainsi, le dispositif selon l'invention permet de fixer la plaque supérieure à la plaque inférieure par la seconde tête de vis, tout en conservant une absence de contact entre la seconde tête de vis et la plaque supérieure.Thus, the device according to the invention allows to fix the upper plate to the lower plate by the second screw head, while maintaining an absence of contact between the second screw head and the upper plate.

La partie basse du premier moyen d'amortissement permet d'amortir les vibrations se propageant directement de la plaque inférieure vers la plaque supérieure. Quant à la partie centrale et la partie haute du premier moyen d'amortissement, celles-ci permettent d'amortir les vibrations se propageant via le corps de vis. De plus, le premier moyen d'amortissement entoure la plaque supérieure à proximité du premier orifice. Cet entourage de la plaque supérieure, conjugué à la seconde tête de vis venant plaquer la partie haute contre la plaque supérieure, permet d'assurer le serrage de la plaque supérieure si bien que le premier moyen d'amortissement permet un enserrement de la plaque supérieure à proximité du premier orifice.The lower part of the first damping means makes it possible to damp the vibrations propagating directly from the lower plate towards the upper plate. As for the central portion and the upper portion of the first damping means, they serve to damp the vibrations propagating via the screw body. In addition, the first damping means surrounds the upper plate near the first orifice. This surround of the upper plate, conjugated to the second screw head coming to press the upper part against the upper plate, ensures the clamping of the upper plate so that the first damping means allows a clamping of the upper plate near the first hole.

Il est alors possible de s'affranchir de la liaison par collage entre la plaque supérieure et le premier moyen d'amortissement et par là-même du problème de la faible résistance mécanique de cette liaison.It is then possible to dispense with the connection by gluing between the upper plate and the first damping means and thereby the problem of the low mechanical strength of this connection.

Avantageusement, la partie haute est conformée pour être en appui contre le corps de vis. Ainsi, la surface de contact entre la seconde tête de vis et le premier moyen d'amortissement est maximisée.Advantageously, the upper part is shaped to bear against the screw body. Thus, the contact area between the second screw head and the first damping means is maximized.

Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la partie centrale présente un corps de section complémentaire à la section du premier orifice, ledit corps présentant deux extrémités et une surface périphérique extérieure conformée pour s'étendre sur le bord périphérique intérieur du premier orifice ; la partie basse présente une collerette inférieure s'étendant à une extrémité du corps, et s'intercalant entre la plaque inférieure et la plaque supérieure ; la partie haute présente une collerette supérieure s'étendant à l'autre extrémité du corps, ladite collerette supérieure venant en appui sur la face supérieure de la plaque supérieure et contre la seconde tête de vis.In one embodiment of the invention, the central portion has a body of complementary section to the section of the first orifice, said body having two ends and an outer peripheral surface shaped to extend on the inner peripheral edge of the first orifice; the lower part has a lower flange extending at one end of the body, and interspersed between the lower plate and the upper plate; the upper part has an upper flange extending to the other end of the body, said upper flange bearing on the upper face of the upper plate and against the second screw head.

Préférentiellement, le corps de section complémentaire à la section du premier orifice, la collerette supérieure et la collerette inférieure sont monobloc.Preferably, the section body complementary to the first orifice section, the upper flange and the lower flange are monobloc.

Selon un mode de réalisation, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte en outre un moyen de maintien du premier moyen d'amortissement contre la seconde tête de vis, le moyen de maintien étant intercalé entre la partie haute et la seconde tête de vis. Ainsi, le moyen de maintien permet d'augmenter la qualité de l'enserrement de la plaque supérieure.According to one embodiment, the device according to the invention further comprises a means for maintaining the first damping means against the second screw head, the holding means being interposed between the upper part and the second screw head. Thus, the holding means makes it possible to increase the quality of the gripping of the upper plate.

Préférentiellement, le moyen de maintien comporte une douille conformée pour s'emboîter avec la partie haute et une collerette formant une surface radiale d'appui contre la seconde tête de vis.Preferably, the holding means comprises a socket shaped to fit with the upper part and a flange forming a radial bearing surface against the second screw head.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le dispositif selon l'invention comporte en outre au moins un second moyen d'amortissement solidaire de la plaque supérieure, la plaque supérieure étant pourvue d'au moins un second orifice à l'intérieur duquel est ménagé le second moyen d'amortissement.According to another embodiment, the device according to the invention further comprises at least a second damping means secured to the upper plate, the upper plate being provided with at least one second orifice inside which is provided the second damping means.

Le second moyen d'amortissement permet d'obtenir un amortissement uniforme lorsque la plaque supérieure présente une surface importante, tout en limitant la dimension longitudinale de la partie basse du premier moyen d'amortissement.The second damping means provides uniform damping when the upper plate has a large surface, while limiting the longitudinal dimension of the lower part of the first damping means.

Selon une caractéristique, le second moyen d'amortissement est conformé pour se fixer sur la plaque supérieure par encliquetage dans le second orifice. La fixation par encliquetage permet de s'affranchir d'un organe de fixation complémentaire - tel un système vis écrou- pouvant propager les vibrations de la plaque inférieure.According to one characteristic, the second damping means is shaped to be fixed on the upper plate by snapping into the second orifice. Snap fastening eliminates the need for a complementary fastener - such as a screw nut system - that can propagate the vibrations of the lower plate.

De manière préférentielle, le second moyen d'amortissement comporte un corps d'appui, de section complémentaire à la section du second orifice, conformé pour s'engager dans le second orifice, le corps d'appui présentant deux extrémités ; une collerette s'étendant à une extrémité du corps d'appui, la face inférieure de la plaque supérieure formant butée pour la collerette ; une tête souple s'étendant à l'autre extrémité du corps d'appui, la tête souple étant conformée pour s'encliqueter dans le second orifice.Preferably, the second damping means comprises a support body, of complementary section to the section of the second orifice, shaped to engage in the second orifice, the bearing body having two ends; a collar extending at one end of the bearing body, the lower face of the upper plate forming a stop for the collar; a flexible head extending to the other end of the support body, the flexible head being shaped to snap into the second port.

Selon une caractéristique, la collerette est conformée pour laisser un jeu mécanique sensiblement égal à 1 mm. Le jeu mécanique permet de réduire l'amplitude des mouvements transversaux de la plaque supérieure.According to one characteristic, the flange is shaped to leave a mechanical clearance substantially equal to 1 mm. The mechanical play reduces the amplitude of the transverse movements of the upper plate.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée ci-après de deux modes de réalisation, en faisant référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

Le dispositif illustré en figure 1 comporte une plaque supérieure 1, présentant une face supérieure 10 formant support d'une gâche 2. La plaque supérieure 1 est pourvue de deux premiers orifices 100 et de quatre seconds orifices 101, ces orifices étant de section sensiblement circulaire.The device illustrated in figure 1 comprises an upper plate 1, having an upper face 10 forming a support of a striker 2. The upper plate 1 is provided with two first orifices 100 and four second orifices 101, these orifices being of substantially circular section.

Le dispositif comporte en outre une plaque inférieure 3 présentant une portion 30 pliée dans un plan transversal au plan de la plaque inférieure 3, la portion 30 étant destinée à être solidarisée à un ouvrant - non représenté sur la figure 1. En effet la portion 30 comprend deux trous circulaires 300 et deux trous oblongs 301, permettant la fixation de la plaque inférieure 3 sur l'ouvrant. D'autre part, la plaque inférieure 3 est munie de deux premières ouvertures 31 en regard des deux premiers orifices 100. La plaque inférieure 3 est également pourvue de deux secondes ouvertures 32 destinées à fixer la gâche 2.The device further comprises a lower plate 3 having a portion 30 folded in a plane transverse to the plane of the lower plate 3, the portion 30 being intended to be secured to an opening - not shown on the figure 1 . Indeed the portion 30 comprises two circular holes 300 and two oblong holes 301, for fixing the lower plate 3 on the opening. On the other hand, the lower plate 3 is provided with two first openings 31 facing the first two orifices 100. The lower plate 3 is also provided with two second openings 32 for fixing the keeper 2.

De plus, le dispositif comporte deux premiers moyens d'amortissement 4 en matière élastique apte à absorber des vibrations mécaniques. Chaque moyen d'amortissement 4 possède un corps cylindrique 40 creux de section complémentaire à la section des premiers orifices 100. Ainsi, le corps cylindrique 40 est conçu pour s'étendre sur le bord périphérique intérieur des premiers orifices 100.

Each damping means 4 has a hollow cylindrical body 40 of complementary section to the section of the first orifices 100. Thus, the cylindrical body 40 is designed to extend over the inner peripheral edge of the first orifices 100. The cylindrical body 40 comprises also an upper flange 400 and a lower flange 401, extending radially from each end of the cylindrical body 40.

Chaque vis 5 présente une première tête de vis 50, destinée à former appui contre la plaque inférieure 3, sur le pourtour des premières ouvertures 31, afin de fixer la plaque inférieure 3 à l'ouvrant. Chaque vis 5 présente en outre une seconde tête de vis 51, destinée à venir en saillie de la face supérieure 10 de la plaque supérieure 1. Chaque vis 5 présente enfin une tige filetée 52 apte à coopérer avec les premières ouvertures 31.Furthermore, the device is provided with two screws 5 shaped to engage in the cylindrical body 40. Each screw 5 has a first screw head 50, intended to form a bearing against the lower plate 3, around the periphery of the first openings 31 , in order to fix the lower plate 3 to the opening. Each screw 5 also has a second screw head 51 intended to protrude from the upper face 10 of the upper plate 1. Each screw 5 finally has a threaded rod 52 adapted to cooperate with the first openings 31.

Le dispositif comporte enfin quatre seconds moyens d'amortissement 6 en matière élastique, par exemple de type terpolymère d'éthylène-propylène. Les quatre seconds moyens d'amortissement 6 sont conformés pour se fixer sur la plaque supérieure 1 par encliquetage dans les seconds orifices 101. Chaque moyen d'amortissement 6 comporte un corps d'appui 60 cylindrique, de section complémentaire à la section des seconds orifices supérieurs 101. Le corps d'appui 60 présente une collerette 61 s'étendant radialement à une extrémité du corps d'appui 60, la face inférieure 11 de la plaque supérieure 1 étant destinée à former butée pour la collerette 61. La face inférieure 11 n'est pas visible sur la figure 1 mais demeure visible sur la figure 2. D'autre part, le corps d'appui 60 comporte une tête souple 62 de forme conique, s'étendant à l'autre extrémité du corps d'appui 60, la tête souple 62 étant conformée pour s'encliqueter dans un second orifice 101.The device finally comprises four second damping means 6 of elastic material, for example of ethylene-propylene terpolymer type. The four second damping means 6 are shaped to be fixed on the upper plate 1 by snapping into the second orifices 101. Each damping means 6 comprises a cylindrical bearing body 60 of complementary section to the section of the second orifices. 101. The bearing body 60 has a flange 61 extending radially at one end of the bearing body 60, the lower face 11 of the upper plate 1 being intended to form a stop for the collar 61. The lower face 11 is not visible on the figure 1 but remains visible on the figure 2 . On the other hand, the bearing body 60 comprises a conically shaped flexible head 62 extending at the other end of the bearing body 60, the flexible head 62 being shaped to snap into a second orifice 101 .

Le dispositif représenté en figure 2 permet d'illustrer la disposition d'un premier moyen d'amortissement 4 et d'un second moyen d'amortissement 6.The device represented in figure 2 illustrates the arrangement of a first damping means 4 and a second damping means 6.

En effet, chacun des premiers moyens d'amortissement 4 est disposé de telle sorte que la collerette inférieure 400 s'intercale entre la plaque inférieure 3 et la face inférieure 11 de la plaque supérieure 1. De plus, le corps cylindrique 40 s'étend sur le bord périphérique intérieur d'un premier orifice 100, et vient en appui contre le corps de vis. Enfin, la collerette supérieure 400 vient en appui sur la face supérieure 10 de la plaque supérieure 1, et vient en appui contre la seconde tête de vis 51. La seconde tête de vis 51 vient ainsi en saillie de la face supérieure 10 de la plaque supérieure 1, tout en étant sans contact direct avec la plaque supérieure 1.Indeed, each of the first damping means 4 is arranged in such a way that the lower flange 400 is inserted between the lower plate 3 and the lower face 11 of the upper plate 1. In addition, the cylindrical body 40 extends on the inner peripheral edge of a first orifice 100, and abuts against the screw body. Finally, the upper flange 400 bears on the upper face 10 of the upper plate 1, and bears against the second screw head 51. The second screw head 51 thus projects from the upper face 10 of the plate upper 1, while being without direct contact with the upper plate 1.

Ainsi, la plaque supérieure 1 est entourée à proximité d'un premier orifice 100 par un premier moyen d'amortissement 4. Cet entourage de la plaque supérieure 1, conjugué à la seconde tête de vis 51 venant plaquer la collerette supérieure 400 contre la face supérieure 10 de la plaque supérieure 1, permet d'assurer le serrage de la plaque supérieure 1 si bien que chacun des premiers moyens d'amortissement 4 permet un enserrement de la plaque supérieure 1.Thus, the upper plate 1 is surrounded near a first orifice 100 by a first damping means 4. This surround of the upper plate 1, conjugated to the second screw head 51 coming to press the upper flange 400 against the face upper 10 of the upper plate 1, ensures the clamping of the upper plate 1 so that each of the first damping means 4 allows a clamping of the upper plate 1.

Quant aux seconds moyens d'amortissement 6, chacun d'eux est disposé de manière à ce que la face inférieure 11 de la plaque supérieure 1 forme butée pour la collerette 61. Par ailleurs, la collerette 61 est conformée pour laisser un jeu mécanique sensiblement égal à 1 mm avec la plaque inférieure 3.As for the second damping means 6, each of them is arranged in such a way that the lower face 11 of the upper plate 1 forms a stop for the flange 61. Moreover, the flange 61 is shaped to leave a mechanical clearance substantially equal to 1 mm with the bottom plate 3.

Il en résulte que la plaque supérieure 2 ne présente aucun contact ni avec la plaque inférieure 3 ni avec la vis 5, afin d'éviter la propagation de vibrations dans la gâche 2 provenant de la plaque inférieure 3 - issues de la carrosserie -.As a result, the upper plate 2 has no contact either with the lower plate 3 or with the screw 5, in order to prevent the propagation of vibrations in the latch 2 coming from the lower plate 3 - coming from the bodywork -.

Selon un second mode de réalisation, le dispositif représenté en figure 3 comporte en outre une entretoise 7 formant moyen de maintien des premiers moyens d'amortissement 4 contre la seconde tête de vis 51. L'entretoise 7 est intercalée entre la collerette supérieure 400 et la seconde tête de vis 51.According to a second embodiment, the device represented in figure 3 further comprises a spacer 7 forming a means for holding the first damping means 4 against the second screw head 51. The spacer 7 is interposed between the upper flange 400 and the second screw head 51.

En figure 4 est notamment représentée isolément l'entretoise 7 comportant une douille 70 conformée pour s'emboîter avec la collerette supérieure 400. L'entretoise 7 comporte également une collerette 71, destinée à former une surface radiale d'appui contre la seconde tête de vis 51.In figure 4 is particularly represented in isolation the spacer 7 comprising a bushing 70 shaped to fit with the upper flange 400. The spacer 7 also comprises a flange 71, intended to form a radial bearing surface against the second screw head 51.

Tout se passe comme si la surface de contact effective entre la collerette supérieure 400 et la seconde tête de vis 51 avait augmenté de manière significative en introduisant la surface radiale d'appui de la collerette 71 de l'entretoise 7. Il en résulte une qualité accrue de l'enserrement de la plaque supérieure 1 par le premier moyen d'amortissement 4.It is as if the effective contact surface between the upper flange 400 and the second screw head 51 has significantly increased by introducing the radial bearing surface of the flange 71 of the spacer 7. This results in a high quality. increased grip of the upper plate 1 by the first damping means 4.

Bien entendu, les modes de réalisation de l'invention décrits ci-dessus ne présentent aucun caractère limitatif. Des détails et améliorations peuvent y être apportés dans d'autres variantes d'exécution sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.Of course, the embodiments of the invention described above are not limiting in nature. Details and improvements can be made in other embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
