Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUE AUQUEL SE RAPPORTE L'INVENTIONTECHNICAL FIELD TO WHICH THE INVENTION REFERS

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture d'une porte sur un cadre conforme au préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a device for opening and closing a door on a frame according to the preamble of claim 1.

L'invention concerne également un ensemble comprenant une porte et un tel dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture.The invention also relates to an assembly comprising a door and such an opening and closing device.

Elle concerne enfin un coffret d'appareillages électriques comportant un tel dispositif.Finally, it relates to a box of electrical equipment comprising such a device.

ARRIERE-PLAN TECHNOLOGIOUEBACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

On connait notamment du document FR2822877 un dispositif de fermeture pour un coffret destiné à accueillir des appareillages électriques.We know in particular of the document FR2822877 a closure device for a box intended to accommodate electrical equipment.

Dans ce dispositif, l'entraîneur est solidarisé à la poignée de la porte et le pivotement de cet ensemble autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au plan de la porte entraîne le mouvement des deux tringles reliées mécaniquement audit entraîneur.In this device, the driver is secured to the handle of the door and the pivoting of this assembly about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the door causes the movement of the two rods mechanically connected to said driver.

Plus particulièrement, le pivotement dans un sens de la poignée liée à l'entraîneur provoque le positionnement des tringles dans une position dans laquelle elles coopèrent avec le coffret pour retenir la porte en position fermée, tandis que le pivotement dans l'autre sens de la poignée liée à l'entraîneur provoque le positionnement des tringles dans une position dans laquelle elles sont libérées de toute coopération avec le coffret et autorisent l'ouverture de la porte.More particularly, the pivoting in one direction of the handle connected to the driver causes the positioning of the rods in a position in which they cooperate with the box to hold the door in the closed position, while the pivoting in the other direction of the handle linked to the coach causes the positioning of the rods in a position in which they are released from any cooperation with the cabinet and allow the opening of the door.

L'ouverture et la fermeture de la porte implique donc un mouvement de la poignée.The opening and closing of the door therefore implies a movement of the handle.

Le document US2007/080542 divulgue un dispositif conforme au préambule de la revendication 1, dans lequel une patte d'actionnement de la poignée coopère avec un plot solidaire de l'entraîneur.The document US2007 / 080542 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein an actuating tab of the handle cooperates with a stud integral with the trainer.

En outre, le dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture décrit dans ce document ne comporte pas de moyens de verrouillage inviolable de la fermeture de la porte.In addition, the opening and closing device described in this document does not include tamper-proof locking means of the closing of the door.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Le but de la présente invention est de simplifier la mise en oeuvre du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture de la porte du coffret électrique et d'améliorer en outre l'aspect esthétique de la porte notamment lors de sa fermeture.The purpose of the present invention is to simplify the implementation of the opening and closing device of the door of the electrical box and to further improve the aesthetic appearance of the door especially when it is closed.

Il s'agit également de sécuriser la fermeture de la porte grâce à des moyens de verrouillage inviolables.It is also to secure the closing of the door with tamper-proof locking means.

A cet effet, on propose selon l'invention un dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture tel que décrit dans la revendication 1.For this purpose, it is proposed according to the invention an opening and closing device as described in claim 1.

Avantageusement, grâce à l'invention, l'entraîneur et la patte d'actionnement de la poignée sont hors-contact et n'interagissent pas pendant la fermeture de la porte puisqu'au contraire ils s'éloignent l'un de l'autre. Lors de la fermeture de la porte, la poignée reste donc immobile, intégrée dans le gabarit de la porte.Advantageously, thanks to the invention, the driver and the actuating tab of the handle are out of contact and do not interact during the closing of the door since on the contrary they move away from each other . When closing the door, the handle remains immobile, integrated into the template of the door.

En outre, la coopération des moyens de montage de la poignée sur la porte et des moyens de verrouillage de la poignée sur cette porte assure l'inviolabilité du verrouillage de la porte en position fermée.In addition, the cooperation of the mounting means of the handle on the door and locking means of the handle on this door ensures the inviolability of the locking of the door in the closed position.

Enfin, les moyens de montage de la poignée assurent un montage simple et rapide de la poignée sur la porte.Finally, the mounting means of the handle ensure a simple and fast mounting of the handle on the door.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses et non limitatives du dispositif d'ouverture et de fermeture selon l'invention sont énoncées dans les revendications 2 à 11.Other advantageous and non-limiting features of the opening and closing device according to the invention are set forth in claims 2 to 11.

L'invention concerne également un ensemble tel que décrit dans les revendications 12 et 13.The invention also relates to an assembly as described in claims 12 and 13.

L'invention concerne enfin un coffret électrique tel que décrit dans les revendications 14 et 15.The invention finally relates to an electrical box as described in claims 14 and 15.

On a représenté sur la figure 1 la face interne 2 d'une porte 1 d'un coffret électrique 100, représenté sur les figures 7, 10 et 13, comportant un dispositif 10 d'ouverture et de fermeture de la porte 1.We have shown on the figure 1 the inner face 2 of a door 1 of an electrical box 100, shown on the figures 7 , 10 and 13 , comprising a device 10 for opening and closing the door 1.

Le coffret électrique 100 est avantageusement destiné à accueillir des rangées d'appareillages électriques modulaires.The electrical box 100 is advantageously intended to accommodate rows of modular electrical equipment.

Ce coffret électrique 100 comporte un socle 5 muni d'un fond entouré de parois latérales. Les parois latérales du socle 5 forment un cadre sur lequel la porte 1 est montée.This electrical box 100 comprises a base 5 provided with a bottom surrounded by side walls. The side walls of the base 5 form a frame on which the door 1 is mounted.

Le dispositif 10 est disposé le long d'un bord avant 3 de la porte 1 opposé à un bord arrière 4 qui est relié au socle 5 du coffret électrique 100 (voir figure 7, 10 et 13) par des moyens d'articulation autorisant le pivotement de la porte 1 autour d'un axe parallèle à ce bord arrière 4.The device 10 is arranged along a front edge 3 of the door 1 opposite a rear edge 4 which is connected to the base 5 of the electrical box 100 (see FIG. figure 7 , 10 and 13 ) by means of articulation allowing the pivoting of the door 1 about an axis parallel to this rear edge 4.

Ces moyens d'articulation sont ici des charnières comportant deux axes (non visibles sur les figures) intégrés à ce bord arrière 4 et situés à chaque extrémité de ce bord arrière 4. Chacun de ces axes est encliqueté dans un logement complémentaire du socle 5 du coffret électrique 1.These hinge means here are hinges comprising two axes (not visible in the figures) integrated to this rear edge 4 and located at each end of the rear edge 4. Each of these axes is snapped into a complementary housing of the base 5 of the electric box 1.

Le dispositif 10 est plus particulièrement représenté sur les figures 2 à 6.The device 10 is more particularly represented on the Figures 2 to 6 .

Ce dispositif 10 comporte une poignée 20 rapportée sur la face externe 8 (figures 7, 10 et 13) opposée à la face interne 2 de ladite porte 1. La face interne de la poignée 20, tournée vers la porte 1, est plus particulièrement représentée sur la figure 5.This device 10 has a handle 20 attached to the outer face 8 ( figures 7 , 10 and 13 ) opposite to the inner face 2 of said door 1. The inner face of the handle 20, turned towards the door 1, is more particularly represented on the figure 5 .

Elle présente ici une forme aplatie et allongée, en particulier une forme sensiblement oblongue. Dans sa position de repos, représentée sur les figures 7, 13 et 17, elle est logée dans un renfoncement 7 de la face externe de la porte 1 (voir figure 10), de manière à être intégrée harmonieusement au profil de la porte 1.It presents here a flattened and elongated shape, in particular a substantially oblong shape. In its rest position, represented on the figures 7 , 13 and 17 it is housed in a recess 7 on the outer face of the door 1 (see figure 10 ), so as to be integrated harmoniously with the profile of the door 1.

Le profil de la face externe 8 de la porte 1 étant courbé le long de son bord avant 3, lorsque la poignée 20 est au repos (voir figures 7, 13 et 17), elle affleure la face externe 8 de la porte 1 le long d'un premier 23 de ses bords longitudinaux, tandis qu'elle fait légèrement saillie de cette face externe 8 de long du deuxième bord longitudinal 22, comme représenté sur les figures 7 et 17.The profile of the outer face 8 of the door 1 being curved along its front edge 3, when the handle 20 is at rest (see figures 7 , 13 and 17 ), it is flush with the outer face 8 of the door 1 along a first 23 of its longitudinal edges, while it protrudes slightly from this outer face 8 along the second longitudinal edge 22, as shown in FIGS. figures 7 and 17 .

La poignée 20 est montée à pivotement sur la face externe 8 de la porte 1 autour d'un axe de pivotement parallèle au plan de cette porte 1 et ici parallèle au bord avant 3 de la porte 1.The handle 20 is pivotally mounted on the outer face 8 of the door 1 about a pivot axis parallel to the plane of the door 1 and here parallel to the front edge 3 of the door 1.

De préférence, la poignée 20 comporte des moyens de montage à pivotement sur ladite porte 1. Ce moyens de montage sont ici mixtes. Ils comprennent, à l'une des extrémités longitudinales de la poignée 20, un tourillon appartenant à la poignée 20 (non visible sur les figures) et, à l'autre extrémité longitudinale de la poignée 20, des moyens d'encliquetage 28 adaptés à être encliquetés sur un arbre solidaire de la porte 1, et représentés sur la figure 5.Preferably, the handle 20 comprises means for pivotally mounting on said door 1. This mounting means are here mixed. They comprise, at one of the longitudinal ends of the handle 20, a pin belonging to the handle 20 (not visible in the figures) and, at the other longitudinal end of the handle 20, latching means 28 adapted to to be snapped onto a shaft integral with the door 1, and shown on the figure 5 .

Le tourillon est par exemple intégré à la poignée 20 et s'étend en saillie de cette poignée 20. Il s'engage dans un logement correspondant de la porte 1 lors du montage de la poignée 20.The pin is for example integrated with the handle 20 and protrudes from this handle 20. It engages in a corresponding housing of the door 1 during assembly of the handle 20.

Les moyens d'encliquetage 28 comprennent un logement dans la poignée 20 présentant un profil tel que l'accès de l'arbre solidaire de la porte 1 à ce logement se fait par passage d'un point dur.The latching means 28 comprise a housing in the handle 20 having a profile such that access to the shaft secured to the door 1 to this housing is done by passing a hard point.

Le tourillon et les moyens d'encliquetage 28 sont alignés le long de son premier bord longitudinal 23 de manière à matérialiser l'axe de pivotement de la poignée 20.The pin and the latching means 28 are aligned along its first longitudinal edge 23 so as to materialize the pivot axis of the handle 20.

Le moyens de montage mixtes de la poignée permettent avantageusement un montage facile et sûr de la poignée 20.The mixed mounting means of the handle advantageously allow easy and safe mounting of the handle 20.

Classiquement, les moyens de montage de la poignée comportent deux tourillons ou deux moyens d'encliquetage disposés aux extrémités longitudinales de la poignée. Les moyens de montage à deux tourillons autorisent un montage très robuste de la poignée sur la porte, mais fastidieux pour l'installateur, tandis que les moyens de montage à deux moyens d'encliquetage autorisent un montage très facile pour l'installateur, mais peu sûr, car la poignée est facilement démontable.Conventionally, the mounting means of the handle comprise two pins or two detent means disposed at the longitudinal ends of the handle. The mounting means with two pins allow a very robust mounting of the handle on the door, but tedious for the installer, while the mounting means with two locking means allow mounting very easy for the installer, but not sure because the handle is easily removable.

Avantageusement, les moyens de montage mixtes de la poignée 20 du dispositif 10 selon l'invention permettent, d'une part, un montage simple et rapide de la poignée 20 sur la porte 1, et, d'autre part, en combinaison avec des moyens de verrouillage qui seront décrits plus loin, d'assurer l'inviolabilité du verrouillage de la porte 1 en position fermée.Advantageously, the mixed mounting means of the handle 20 of the device 10 according to the invention allow, on the one hand, a simple and fast mounting of the handle 20 on the door 1, and, on the other hand, in combination with locking means which will be described later, to ensure the inviolability of the locking of the door 1 in the closed position.

En outre, la poignée 20 comporte dans son deuxième bord longitudinal 22 une découpe 24 (figures 5, 7, 10 et 17) permettant à l'utilisateur de glisser ses doigts entre la porte 1 et la poignée 20 afin de manoeuvrer cette dernière en la faisant pivoter pour la relever en position active (figure 10).In addition, the handle 20 has in its second longitudinal edge 22 a cutout 24 ( Figures 5, 7 , 10 and 17 ) allowing the user to slide his fingers between the door 1 and the handle 20 in order to maneuver the latter by rotating it to raise it to the active position ( figure 10 ).

Cette poignée 20 est adaptée à agir sur un entraîneur 11 (figures 3, 4, 6, 8 et 15) mobile auquel deux tringles 12 (figures 1, 2 et 4)sont reliées mécaniquement.This handle 20 is adapted to act on a trainer 11 ( figures 3 , 4, 6, 8 and 15 ) to which two rods 12 ( figures 1 , 2 and 4 ) are mechanically connected.

Pour cela, la poignée 20 comporte une patte d'actionnement 21 adapté à coopérer avec une partie d'interaction 40 (figures 3, 4, 6, 8, 11 et 15) de l'entraîneur 11, comme représenté en particulier sur la figure 11.For this, the handle 20 comprises an actuating tab 21 adapted to cooperate with an interaction part 40 ( figures 3 , 4, 6, 8 , 11 and 15 ) of the coach 11, as shown in particular on the figure 11 .

L'entraîneur 11 et la poignée 20 forment ici deux pièces distinctes et séparées. L'entraîneur 11 et les tringles 12 sont rapportées sur la face interne 2 de la porte 1.The driver 11 and the handle 20 form here two separate and separate parts. The coach 11 and the rods 12 are attached to the inner face 2 of the door 1.

De manière remarquable, comme cela sera décrit plus en détails ultérieurement, la patte d'actionnement 21 et la partie d'interaction 40 de l'entraîneur 11 sont agencés de telle sorte que le mouvement des tringles 12 induit par la fermeture de la porte 1 provoque l'éloignement de la partie d'interaction 40 de l'entraîneur par rapport à la patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20, ladite partie d'interaction 40 de l'entraîneur 11 et ladite patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20 étant alors hors-contact, comme représenté sur la figure 15.Remarkably, as will be described in more detail later, the actuating tab 21 and the interaction portion 40 of the driver 11 are arranged such that the movement of the rods 12 induced by the closing of the door 1 causes the interaction portion 40 of the driver to move away from the actuating lug 21 of the handle 20, the said interaction portion 40 of the driver 11 and the said actuating lug 21 of the handle 20 being then off-contact, as shown on the figure 15 .

La fermeture de la porte peut ainsi se faire sans aucune interaction entre l'entraineur 11 et la poignée 20, et sans occasionner de mouvement de la poignée 20.The closing of the door can thus be done without any interaction between the trainer 11 and the handle 20, and without causing movement of the handle 20.

La patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20 (voir figure 5) se présente par exemple sous la forme d'une languette qui s'étend à partir de la face interne de la poignée 20, tournée vers la porte 1. Il s'étend selon un angle d'inclinaison compris de préférence entre 0 et 30 degrés par rapport à la normale au plan moyen de la poignée 20.The actuating lug 21 of the handle 20 (see figure 5 ) is for example in the form of a tongue which extends from the inner face of the handle 20, facing the door 1. It extends at an inclination angle preferably between 0 and 30 degrees from normal to the average plane of the handle 20.

La patte d'actionnement 21 traverse une ouverture de la porte 1 (figure 6) disposée en vis-à-vis de celui-ci et fait saillie de la face interne 2 de ladite porte 1. Cette ouverture présente des dimensions adaptées à un libre déplacement de la patte d'actionnement 21 lorsque la poignée 20 pivote autour de son axe de pivotement. Ses dimensions sont également adaptées au montage de la poignée 20 sur la porte 1.The actuating tab 21 passes through an opening of the door 1 ( figure 6 ) disposed opposite it and protrudes from the inner face 2 of said door 1. This opening has dimensions adapted to a free movement of the actuating lug 21 when the handle 20 pivots about its pivot axis. Its dimensions are also adapted to the mounting of the handle 20 on the door 1.

L'entraîneur 11 est monté à pivotement sur la porte 1, autour d'un axe de pivotement X perpendiculaire au plan moyen dans lequel s'étend cette porte 1. Cet entraîneur 11 est maintenu sur la porte 1 par des moyens de clippage.The driver 11 is pivotally mounted on the door 1, about a pivot axis X perpendicular to the mean plane in which the door 1 extends. This driver 11 is held on the door 1 by clipping means.

Comme représenté notamment sur les figures 3, 4, 6, 8, 11 et 15, l'entraîneur 11 se présente sous la forme d'une plaque qui s'étend parallèlement au plan de la porte 1. Cet entraîneur 11 présente ici une forme globalement circulaire, avec dans son contour deux découpes 11B triangulaires diamétralement opposées.As represented in particular on figures 3 , 4, 6, 8 , 11 and 15 , the driver 11 is in the form of a plate which extends parallel to the plane of the door 1. This driver 11 here has a generally circular shape, with in its contour two diametrically opposite triangular cutouts 11B.

La tranche de l'une de ces découpes 11B triangulaires forme la partie d'interaction 40 de l'entraîneur 11.The edge of one of these triangular cutouts 11B forms the interaction portion 40 of the driver 11.

Chaque tringle 12 présente la forme d'une tige aplatie et s'étend parallèlement au plan de la porte 1 (figures 2, 3 et 4). Elle comporte ici deux parties droites 12A, 12C qui s'étendent parallèlement au bord avant 3 de la porte 1, reliées entre elle par une partie coudée 12B. L'une 12A des parties droites 12A, 12C de chaque tringle 12, appelée partie d'accrochage 12A, comporte à son extrémité libre un téton 14 (figures 2, 12 et 14) qui coopère avec le socle 5 du coffret électrique 100. L'autre partie droite 12C de chaque tringle 12, appelée partie d'entraînement 12C est reliée mécaniquement à l'entraîneur 11 (figures 3, 4 et 6).Each rod 12 has the shape of a flattened rod and extends parallel to the plane of the door 1 ( Figures 2, 3 and 4 ). It comprises here two straight portions 12A, 12C which extend parallel to the front edge 3 of the door 1, connected between it by a bent portion 12B. One 12A of the straight portions 12A, 12C of each bead wire 12, called the hooking portion 12A, has at its free end a stud 14 (FIG. figures 2 , 12 and 14 ) which cooperates with the base 5 of the electrical box 100. The other right part 12C of each rod 12, called the driving portion 12C, is mechanically connected to the driver 11 (FIG. figures 3 , 4 and 6 ).

Lesdites parties d'accrochage 12A s'étendent selon un même axe parallèle au bord avant 3 de la porte 1.Said attachment portions 12A extend along the same axis parallel to the front edge 3 of the door 1.

La partie d'entraînement 12C de chaque tringle 12 s'étend entre la face interne 2 de la porte 1 et l'entraîneur 11, de part et d'autre de l'axe de pivotement X de celui-ci.The driving portion 12C of each rod 12 extends between the inner face 2 of the door 1 and the driver 11, on either side of the pivot axis X thereof.

Comme représenté plus particulièrement sur les figures 3, 4, 6, 8, 11 et 15, la partie d'entraînement 12C de chaque tringle 12 comporte ici un pion de manoeuvre 16 qui s'élève perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal de cette partie d'entraînement 12C et est logé dans un logement d'accueil 11A dudit entraîneur 11. Ces pions de manoeuvre 16 établissent la liaison mécanique entre les tringles 12 et l'entraîneur 11.As shown more particularly on figures 3 , 4, 6, 8 , 11 and 15 , the driving portion 12C of each rod 12 here comprises an operating pin 16 which rises perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of this driving portion 12C and is housed in a receiving housing 11A of said driver 11. These maneuvering pins 16 establish the mechanical connection between the rods 12 and the coach 11.

Chaque logement d'accueil 11A d'un pion de manoeuvre 16 est ici formé d'une encoche 11A dans la partie circulaire du contour de l'entraîneur 11 (figures 3, 4, 6, 8, 11 et 15).Each receiving housing 11A of an operating pin 16 is here formed of a notch 11A in the circular part of the contour of the driver 11 (FIG. figures 3 , 4, 6, 8 , 11 and 15 ).

Ainsi, le mouvement de pivotement de l'entraineur 11 autour de son axe de pivotement X entraîne un mouvement des pions de manoeuvre 16 des tringles 12 engagés dans les logements d'accueil 11A de l'entraîneur et par conséquent un mouvement des tringles 12.Thus, the pivoting movement of the trainer 11 about its pivoting axis X causes a movement of the operating pins 16 of the rods 12 engaged in the receiving housing 11A of the coach and consequently a movement of the rods 12.

Inversement, un mouvement de translation imposé aux tringles 12 entraîne un mouvement de rotation de l'entraîneur 11.Conversely, a translation movement imposed on the rods 12 causes a rotational movement of the driver 11.

Avantageusement, chaque logement d'accueil 11A du pion de manoeuvre 16 de chaque tringle 12 présente des dimensions supérieures à celle dudit pion de manoeuvre 16, de manière à autoriser un déplacement en translation de chaque pion de manoeuvre 16 dans son logement d'accueil lorsque l'entraîneur 11 pivote autour de son axe de pivotement X d'un angle compris dans un intervalle prédéterminé.Advantageously, each receiving housing 11A of the maneuvering pin 16 of each rod 12 has dimensions greater than that of said maneuvering pin 16, so as to allow a displacement in translation of each maneuvering pin 16 in its receiving housing when the driver 11 pivots about its pivot axis X by an angle within a predetermined range.

En outre, le dispositif 10 comporte des rails de guidage 13 (figures 2, 9, 12, 14, 16 et 18) des parties d'accrochage 12A des tringles 12 qui guident le mouvement de translation des tringles 12. Chaque rail de guidage 13 est délimité par deux cloisons parallèles qui encadrent lesdites parties d'accrochage 12A. Les deux rails de guidage 13 s'étendent selon une même direction rectiligne parallèle au bord avant 3 de la porte 1.In addition, the device 10 comprises guide rails 13 ( figures 2 , 9 , 12 , 14 , 16 and 18 ) fastening portions 12A of the rods 12 which guide the translational movement of the rods 12. Each guide rail 13 is delimited by two parallel walls which frame said attachment portions 12A. The two guide rails 13 extend in the same rectilinear direction parallel to the front edge 3 of the door 1.

Lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture de la porte 1, la partie d'accrochage 12A de chaque tringle 12 se déplace en translation longitudinalement entre les cloisons du rail de guidage 13 correspondant, dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Le mouvement latéral de chaque tringle est très limité, voire inexistant, ce qui limite le débattement de ces tringles 12 et réduit l'espace nécessaire pour loger le dispositif 10 dans la porte 1.When opening or closing the door 1, the attachment portion 12A of each rod 12 moves in translation longitudinally between the walls of the corresponding guide rail 13, in one direction or the other. The lateral movement of each rod is very limited or nonexistent, which limits the movement of these rods 12 and reduces the space required to accommodate the device 10 in the door 1.

La partie d'entraînement 12C de chaque tringle 12 s'étend de part et d'autre de l'entraîneur 11. Elle comporte une extrémité reliée d'un côté de l'entraîneur 11 à la partie coudée 12B de la tringle 12 correspondante, et une autre extrémité qui coopère de l'autre côté avec des moyens de rappel 15 et de butée 18, représentés sur les figures 2, 3, 4, 6, 16 et 18.The driving portion 12C of each rod 12 extends on either side of the driver 11. It has an end connected on one side of the driver 11 to the bent portion 12B of the corresponding rod 12, and another end which cooperates on the other side with return means 15 and stop 18, shown on the Figures 2, 3 , 4, 6 , 16 and 18 .

Ces moyens de rappel 15 du dispositif 10 agissent en permanence entre ladite porte 1 et lesdites deux tringles 12 pour placer celles-ci dans une position stable dans laquelle les tétons 14 situés aux extrémités des parties d'accrochage 12A des tringles 12 coopèrent avec le socle 5 du coffret électrique 100, lorsque la porte 1 est fermée sur celui-ci.These return means 15 of the device 10 act permanently between said door 1 and said two rods 12 to place them in a stable position in which the studs 14 located at the ends of the attachment portions 12A of the rods 12 cooperate with the base 5 of the electrical box 100, when the door 1 is closed thereon.

Ces moyens de rappel 15 comportent ici deux ressorts de compression 15 (voir par exemple la figure 4), qui agissent chacun entre la face interne 2 de la porte 1 et l'extrémité libre de la partie d'entraînement 12C de chaque tringle 12.These return means 15 here comprise two compression springs 15 (see, for example, FIG. figure 4 ), which each act between the inner face 2 of the door 1 and the free end of the driving portion 12C of each rod 12.

Lesdits moyens de butée 18 comportent deux éléments de butée 18 issus de la porte 1, qui coopèrent chacun avec un épaulement correspondant de la partie d'entraînement 12C de la tringle 12 correspondante.Said abutment means 18 comprise two abutment elements 18 coming from the door 1, each of which cooperates with a corresponding shoulder of the driving portion 12C of the corresponding rod 12.

Dans la position stable des tringles 12 (figure 4), chaque ressort de compression 15 pousse la tringle 12 correspondante contre l'élément de butée 18 correspondant, ce qui limite le mouvement de translation de la tringle 12 concernée.In the stable position of the rods 12 ( figure 4 ), each compression spring 15 pushes the corresponding rod 12 against the corresponding abutment member 18, which limits the translational movement of the rod 12 concerned.

Le socle 5 comporte ici des logements 6 adaptés à accueillir lesdits tétons 14 des tringles 12 lorsque les extrémités des tringles 12 portant ces tétons 14 sont dans ladite position stable. Ces logements 6 sont plus particulièrement visibles sur les figures 9, 12, 13 et 14.The base 5 here comprises housing 6 adapted to receive said pins 14 of the rods 12 when the ends of the rods 12 carrying these pins 14 are in said stable position. These dwellings 6 are more particularly visible on the Figures 9, 12, 13 and 14 .

Lorsqu'ils sont engagés dans ces logements 6, comme représenté sur la figure 9, les tétons 14 des tringles 12 retiennent la porte dans sa position fermée. Lorsque la porte 1 est tirée pour être ouverte sans action sur la poignée 20, l'une des faces de ces tétons 14 prend appui sur l'une des faces internes des logements 6 pour empêcher cette ouverture. La porte 1 ne peut donc être ouverte sans agir sur la poignée 20 afin de dégager les tétons 14 hors des logements 6 du socle 5.When engaged in these accommodations 6, as shown on the figure 9 , the nipples 14 of the rods 12 hold the door in its closed position. When the door 1 is pulled to be opened without action on the handle 20, one of the faces of these pins 14 bears on one of the inner faces of the housing 6 to prevent this opening. The door 1 can not be opened without acting on the handle 20 to release the pins 14 out of the housing 6 of the base 5.

Comme représenté notamment sur les figures 9, 12 et 14, l'extrémité libre de la partie d'accrochage 12A de chaque tringle 12 comporte un décroché qui porte le téton 14. Celui-ci ne se trouve donc pas dans l'alignement de la partie d'accrochage 12A, mais légèrement décalé perpendiculairement au plan moyen de la porte 1, en vis-à-vis du logement 6 correspondant du coffret électrique 100 lorsque la porte 1 est fermée sur le coffret électrique 100.As represented in particular on Figures 9, 12 and 14 , the free end of the fastening portion 12A of each bead wire 12 has a hook that carries the stud 14. This is therefore not in alignment with the attachment portion 12A, but slightly offset perpendicular to the average plane of the door 1, vis-à-vis the corresponding housing 6 of the electrical box 100 when the door 1 is closed on the electrical box 100.

Ici, la position stable des tringles 12 correspond à une position dans laquelle les extrémités libres des parties d'accrochage 12A des deux tringles 12 sont éloignées d'une distance maximale l'une de l'autre.Here, the stable position of the rods 12 corresponds to a position in which the free ends of the attachment portions 12A of the two rods 12 are spaced a maximum distance from one another.

En variante, ladite position stable peut correspondre à une position dans laquelle les extrémités libres des parties d'accrochage des deux tringles sont éloignées d'une distance minimale l'une de l'autre. Les tétons situés à l'extrémité de chaque tringle présentent alors de préférence une forme de crochet recourbé vers le socle du coffret électrique et vers l'entraîneur, qui viennent s'engager dans des logements du socle du coffret électrique pour retenir la porte dans sa position fermée.As a variant, said stable position may correspond to a position in which the free ends of the hooking portions of the two rods are separated by a minimum distance from one another. The pins located at the end of each rod then preferably have a crooked hook shape towards the base of the electrical box and to the driver, which engage in housings of the base of the electrical box to hold the door in its seat. closed position.

La figure 7 montre la porte 1 fermée sur le socle 5 du coffret électrique 100, avec la poignée 20 en position de repos.The figure 7 shows the door 1 closed on the base 5 of the electrical box 100, with the handle 20 in the rest position.

Comme représenté sur la figure 8 correspondante, lorsque la poignée 20 est dans sa position de repos, la patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20 s'étend à travers l'ouverture de la porte 1 sans agir sur la partie d'interaction 40 de l'entraîneur 11. Il est ici en contact avec cette partie d'interaction 40, mais on peut envisager, dans un mode de réalisation alternatif, que la patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée ne viennent pas au contact de la partie d'interaction de l'entraîneur lorsque la porte est fermée.As shown on the figure 8 corresponding, when the handle 20 is in its rest position, the actuating lug 21 of the handle 20 extends through the opening of the door 1 without acting on the interaction portion 40 of the driver 11. It is here in contact with this interaction part 40, but it can be envisaged, in an alternative embodiment, that the actuating lug 21 of the handle do not come into contact with the interaction part of the driver when the door is closed.

La figure 9 montre la position des tétons 14 des tringles 12 dans la situation correspondant à celle des figures 7 et 8, c'est-à-dire lorsque la porte est fermée sur le socle 5 et la poignée 20 au repos : dans cette situation, les moyens de rappel 15 placent les tringles 12 dans leur position stable, les tétons 14 sont engagés dans les logements 6 correspondants du socle 5 (voir figure 9), et retiennent la porte 1.The figure 9 shows the position of the nipples 14 of the rods 12 in the situation corresponding to that of the Figures 7 and 8 , that is to say when the door is closed on the base 5 and the handle 20 at rest: in this situation, the return means 15 place the rods 12 in their stable position, the pins 14 are engaged in the housing 6 correspondents of base 5 (see figure 9 ), and hold the door 1.

Pour ouvrir la porte, l'utilisateur relève la poignée en la faisant pivoter autour de son axe de pivotement, comme représenté sur la figure 10.To open the door, the user raises the handle by rotating it about its pivot axis, as shown in the figure. figure 10 .

La poignée 20 présente un débattement angulaire maximal compris entre 20 et 50 degrés, par exemple égal à 30 degrés.The handle 20 has a maximum angular displacement of between 20 and 50 degrees, for example equal to 30 degrees.

La figure 11 montre la position correspondante de la patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20 relevée. Celui-ci étant solidaire de la poignée 20, il pivote également, et se déplace dans un plan perpendiculaire à la porte 1 et à l'axe de pivotement de la poignée 20, selon la flèche A représentée sur la figure 11. De cette manière, la patte d'actionnement 21 pousse la partie d'interaction 40 de l'entraîneur 11, qui pivote autour de son axe de pivotement X.The figure 11 shows the corresponding position of the actuating lug 21 of the handle 20 raised. The latter being secured to the handle 20, it also pivots, and moves in a plane perpendicular to the door 1 and to the pivot axis of the handle 20, according to the arrow A shown in FIG. figure 11 . In this way, the actuating tab 21 pushes the interaction portion 40 of the driver 11, which pivots about its pivot axis X.

La transmission du mouvement de pivotement de la poignée 20 à l'entraîneur 11 par l'intermédiaire de la patte d'actionnement 21 présente l'avantage d'amplifier ce mouvement de pivotement : ainsi, pour un pivotement d'un angle égal à 30 degrés de la poignée 20, l'entraîneur 11 pivote d'un angle égal à 40 degrés.The transmission of the pivoting movement of the handle 20 to the driver 11 via the actuating tab 21 has the advantage of amplifying this pivoting movement: thus, for a pivoting of an angle equal to 30 degrees of the handle 20, the driver 11 pivots an angle of 40 degrees.

Le débattement angulaire en pivotement de l'entraîneur 11 est de préférence inférieur ou égal à 60 degrés.The angular deflection in pivoting of the driver 11 is preferably less than or equal to 60 degrees.

Le mouvement de pivotement de l'entraîneur 11 entraîne les pions de manoeuvre 16 des tringles 12 et chaque tringle 12 coulisse ici dans le rail de guidage 13 correspondant de manière à ce que l'extrémité libre de la partie d'accrochage 12C, qui comporte le téton 14, se rapproche de l'entraîneur 11, suivant la flèche B représentée sur la figure 12.The pivoting movement of the driver 11 drives the operating pins 16 of the rods 12 and each rod 12 slides here in the corresponding guide rail 13 so that the free end of the attachment portion 12C, which comprises the nipple 14, approaches the coach 11, according to the arrow B shown on the figure 12 .

Dans l'exemple décrit précédemment, la rotation de 40 degrés de l'entraîneur 11 imprime un mouvement de translation d'une amplitude égale à 8,5 millimètres à chacune des deux tringles 12.In the example described above, the 40-degree rotation of the driver 11 imparts a translation movement of an amplitude equal to 8.5 millimeters to each of the two rods 12.

Les extrémités libres des tringles 12 se rapprochant, les tétons 14 de ces extrémités libres sortent du logement 6 correspondant du socle 5, comme représenté sur la figure 12, et libèrent la porte 1.The free ends of the rods 12 approaching, the nipples 14 of these free ends out of the corresponding housing 6 of the base 5, as shown in FIG. figure 12 , and release the door 1.

La porte 1 n'est plus alors retenue sur le socle 5 du coffret électrique 100, puisque les tétons 14 des tringles 12 ne butent plus sur la face interne du logement 6 du socle 5, et l'utilisateur peut tirer la porte 1 vers lui pour l'ouvrir librement.The door 1 is then no longer held on the base 5 of the electrical box 100, since the pins 14 of the rods 12 no longer abut on the inner face of the housing 6 of the base 5, and the user can pull the door 1 towards him. to open it freely.

Dès que l'utilisateur relâche la poignée 20, les moyens de rappel 15 ramènent les tringles 12 vers leur position stable. L'entraineur 11 pivote alors pour reprendre sa position initiale et repousse la patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20 dans sa position initiale. La poignée 20 revient automatiquement dans sa position de repos, dans laquelle elle est logée dans le renfoncement 7 de la porte 1 (figure 13).As soon as the user releases the handle 20, the return means 15 return the rods 12 to their stable position. The driver 11 then pivots to resume its initial position and pushes the actuating lug 21 of the handle 20 in its initial position. The handle 20 automatically returns to its rest position, in which it is housed in the recess 7 of the door 1 ( figure 13 ).

On peut également envisager que la patte d'actionnement 21 n'est pas repoussée en place par l'entraîneur 11, mais simplement par l'action de la gravité ou de l'utilisateur sur la poignée 20.It can also be envisaged that the actuating lug 21 is not pushed in place by the driver 11, but simply by the action of gravity or the user on the handle 20.

Avantageusement, comme représenté notamment sur les figures 12 et 14, chaque tringle 12 comporte à l'extrémité libre de sa partie d'accrochage 12A, un pan incliné 17 adapté à coopérer avec une surface inclinée 51 complémentaire du socle 5 du coffret électrique 100, lorsque la porte passe d'une position ouverte à une position fermée.Advantageously, as represented in particular on figures 12 and 14 each rod 12 comprises at the free end of its attachment portion 12A, an inclined pan 17 adapted to cooperate with an inclined surface 51 complementary to the base 5 of the electrical box 100, when the door passes from an open position to a closed position.

Ce pan incliné 17 est ici porté par le téton 14. Ce pan incliné 17 constitue une face de ce téton 14 qui est opposée à la face du téton 14 qui prend appui sur la face interne du logement 6 du socle 5 pour retenir la porte 1 sur le socle lorsque la porte 1 est fermée et la poignée 20 en position de repos. La face du téton 14 qui forme ce pan incliné 17 prend appui sur une face externe du logement 6 du socle 5 pour favoriser la fermeture de la porte 1 sur le socle 5 avec la poignée 20 en position de repos.This inclined face 17 is here borne by the stud 14. This inclined face 17 constitutes a face of this stud 14 which is opposite to the face of the stud 14 which bears on the inner face of the housing 6 of the base 5 to retain the door 1 on the base when the door 1 is closed and the handle 20 in the rest position. The face of the pin 14 which forms the inclined portion 17 bears on an outer face of the housing 6 of the base 5 to facilitate the closing of the door 1 on the base 5 with the handle 20 in the rest position.

Ainsi, avantageusement, lorsque la porte est ouverte, comme représentée sur la figure 13, l'utilisateur n'a qu'à appuyer sur la porte 1 pour la fermer. Lorsque l'utilisateur appuie sur la porte 1, le pan incliné 17 de l'extrémité de la tringle 12 glisse sur la surface inclinée 51 du socle 5 correspondante de manière à rapprocher l'extrémité libre de la partie d'accrochage 12A de la tringle 12 correspondante vers l'entraîneur 11, en comprimant les ressorts 15. Cet étape est plus particulièrement représentée sur la figure 14.Thus, advantageously, when the door is open, as shown on the figure 13 , the user only has to press the door 1 to close it. When the user presses the door 1, the inclined face 17 of the end of the rod 12 slides on the inclined surface 51 of the corresponding base 5 so as to bring the free end of the attachment portion 12A of the rod 12 corresponding to the coach 11, compressing the springs 15. This step is more particularly represented on the figure 14 .

Lesdites tringles 12 passent ainsi de leur position stable à une position intermédiaire instable dans laquelle lesdites extrémités libres des tringles 21 sont rapprochées l'une de l'autre et amenées en vis-à-vis du logement 6 du socle 5 correspondant (figure 14).Said rods 12 thus pass from their stable position to an unstable intermediate position in which said free ends of the rods 21 are brought closer to each other and brought opposite the housing 6 of the corresponding base 5 ( figure 14 ).

Comme expliqué précédemment, ladite patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20 et ledit entraîneur 11 sont agencés relativement l'un par rapport à l'autre de manière que le mouvement de l'entraîneur 11 induit par le déplacement des deux tringles 12 lors de ce passage de leur position stable à cette position intermédiaire instable provoque l'éloignement de ladite partie d'interaction 40 de l'entraîneur 11 par rapport à la patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20, selon la flèche C représentée sur la figure 15.As explained above, said actuating lug 21 of the handle 20 and said driver 11 are arranged relative to each other so that the movement of the driver 11 induced by the displacement of the two rods 12 during this transition from their stable position to this unstable intermediate position causes said interaction portion 40 to move away from the driver 11 relative to the actuating lug 21 of the handle 20, according to the arrow C shown on FIG. figure 15 .

Lors de la fermeture de la porte, ladite partie d'interaction 40 de l'entraîneur 11 et ladite patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20 sont hors-contact.When closing the door, said interaction portion 40 of the driver 11 and said actuating lug 21 of the handle 20 are off-contact.

L'entraîneur 11 n'agit donc pas sur la patte d'actionnement 21 de la poignée 20 lors de la fermeture de la porte 1, de sorte que ladite poignée 20 ne bouge pas : elle reste dans sa position de repos, logée dans le renfoncement 7 de la porte 1.The driver 11 does not act on the actuating lug 21 of the handle 20 when closing the door 1, so that said handle 20 does not move: it remains in its rest position, housed in the recess 7 of the door 1.

Ainsi, la fermeture de la porte 1 se fait sans agir sur la poignée 20, en appuyant seulement sur la porte 1 elle-même, sans que la poignée 20 ne bouge.Thus, the closing of the door 1 is done without acting on the handle 20, pressing only on the door 1 itself, without the handle 20 moves.

La manière dont la porte 1 se ferme est donc simple, esthétique et ergonomique.The way the door 1 is closed is therefore simple, aesthetic and ergonomic.

En outre, l'utilisateur peut appuyer à n'importe quel endroit sur la porte 1 pour la fermer, même à un endroit excentré, et même si la porte 1 est peu rigide.In addition, the user can press anywhere on the door 1 to close it, even in an eccentric place, and even if the door 1 is not rigid.

En effet, même si l'appui de l'utilisateur agit essentiellement sur l'extrémité libre de la partie d'accrochage 12A d'une seule des deux tringles 12, le glissement du pan incliné 17 de cette extrémité libre entrainera le mouvement de pivotement de l'entraîneur 11 ce qui aura pour effet de faire glisser le pan incliné 17 de l'extrémité libre de la partie d'accrochage 12A de l'autre tringle 12 sur la surface inclinée 51 correspondante du socle 5. Ceci assure que le téton 14 de chaque tringle 12 s'engage dans le logement 6 correspondant et que la porte 1 soit retenue en deux points sur la porte 1.Indeed, even if the support of the user acts essentially on the free end of the attachment portion 12A of only one of the two rods 12, the sliding of the inclined portion 17 of this free end will cause the pivoting movement of the coach 11 which will have the effect of sliding the inclined face 17 of the free end of the attachment portion 12A of the other rod 12 on the corresponding inclined surface 51 of the base 5. This ensures that the nipple 14 of each rod 12 engages in the corresponding housing 6 and that the door 1 is held at two points on the door 1.

Le dispositif 10 comporte en outre des moyens de verrouillage 30 de la poignée 20 en position de repos sur la porte 1, représentés sur les figures 2, 3, 4, 16 et 18.The device 10 further comprises locking means 30 of the handle 20 in the rest position on the door 1, represented on the Figures 2, 3 , 4 , 16 and 18 .

Ces moyens de verrouillage 30 sont montés embarqués sur la poignée 20 et mobiles entre une première position dans laquelle ils autorisent le pivotement de la poignée 20 et une deuxième position dans laquelle ils empêchent le pivotement de la poignée 20 autour de son axe de pivotement. Ils sont situés à proximité des moyens d'encliquetage 28 de la poignée 20 sur l'arbre appartenant à la porte 1.These locking means 30 are mounted onboard on the handle 20 and movable between a first position in which they allow the pivoting of the handle 20 and a second position in which they prevent the pivoting of the handle 20 about its pivot axis. They are located in near the latching means 28 of the handle 20 on the shaft belonging to the door 1.

Ces moyens de verrouillage 30 comportent un axe 32 (figures 16 et 18) logé dans un puits 33 (figure 5) de la poignée 20 et qui s'étend perpendiculairement à la face interne de cette poignée 20. Cet axe 32 traverse un orifice de la porte 1 situé en vis-à-vis.These locking means 30 comprise an axis 32 ( figures 16 and 18 ) housed in a well 33 ( figure 5 ) of the handle 20 and which extends perpendicularly to the inner face of the handle 20. This axis 32 through an orifice of the door 1 located vis-à-vis.

L'axe 32 comporte à l'une de ses extrémités, située du côté de la face interne de la poignée 20, une plaquette 31 (figures 16 et 18) de forme allongée selon un axe longitudinale Y. L'autre extrémité de l'axe 32 comporte une serrure accessible à l'utilisateur en face avant de la poignée 20.The axis 32 has at one of its ends, located on the side of the inner face of the handle 20, a plate 31 ( figures 16 and 18 ) of elongated shape along a longitudinal axis Y. The other end of the axis 32 comprises a lock accessible to the user on the front face of the handle 20.

On a représenté sur la figure 16 la position des moyens de verrouillage 30 lorsque ceux-ci sont dans une position déverrouillée et que la poignée 20 est relevée dans une position active.We have shown on the figure 16 the position of the locking means 30 when these are in an unlocked position and the handle 20 is raised to an active position.

Dans cette position déverrouillée, l'orientation de la plaquette 31 autorise le passage de cette plaquette 31 à travers ledit orifice de la porte 1 dans le sens de sa largeur.In this unlocked position, the orientation of the plate 31 allows the passage of this plate 31 through said orifice of the door 1 in the direction of its width.

Le pivotement de l'axe 32, commandé par l'actionnement d'une clef 40 (figure 17) dans ladite serrure, induit un pivotement de la plaquette 31. Dans la position verrouillée des moyens de verrouillage, représentée sur la figure 18, la plaquette ayant pivoté par exemple d'un angle égal à 90 degrés, celle-ci s'étend alors en travers de l'orifice de la porte 1. Les moyens de verrouillage 30 bloquent alors la poignée 20 dans sa position de repos.The pivoting of the axis 32, controlled by the actuation of a key 40 ( figure 17 ) in said lock, induces a pivoting of the plate 31. In the locked position of the locking means, shown in the figure 18 , the wafer having rotated for example by an angle equal to 90 degrees, it then extends across the orifice of the door 1. The locking means 30 then block the handle 20 in its rest position.

La poignée 20 ne pouvant pivoter, sa patte d'actionnement 21 ne peut faire pivoter l'entraîneur 11 et les tétons 14 des tringles 12 ne peuvent être dégagés hors des logements 6 du socle 5 du coffret électrique 100. La porte 1 est donc bloquée dans sa position fermée.The handle 20 can not pivot, its actuating lug 21 can not rotate the driver 11 and nipples 14 of the rods 12 can not be released from the housing 6 of the base 5 of the electrical box 100. The door 1 is blocked in its closed position.

Le blocage de la poignée 20 sur le socle 5 interdit ainsi l'ouverture de la porte 1, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de mettre en oeuvre des moyens de blocage de la porte 1 sur le socle 5 du coffret électrique 100.The locking of the handle 20 on the base 5 thus prohibits the opening of the door 1, without it being necessary to implement locking means of the door 1 on the base 5 of the electrical box 100.

Avantageusement, les moyens de montage mixtes de la poignée 20 sur la porte 1, associés aux moyens de verrouillage 30, rendent inviolable le blocage de la poignée sur la porte, et donc la fermeture de celle-ci sur le socle 5 du coffret électrique 1.Advantageously, the mixed mounting means of the handle 20 on the door 1, associated with the locking means 30, make the locking of the handle on the door inviolable, and thus the closing of the latter on the base 5 of the electrical box 1 .

En effet, les moyens de verrouillage 30 de la poignée 20 sont situés à l'extrémité longitudinale de la poignée 20 qui est encliquetée sur la porte 1. Ils garantissent donc que cette extrémité longitudinale de la poignée 20 ne puisse pas être désencliquetée de la porte 1. Or le tourillon qui est engagé à l'autre extrémité de la poignée 20 dans un logement de la porte 1 ne peut alors être dégagé de ce logement. La poignée 20 ne peut donc être démontée de la porte 1 lorsque le dispositif de verrouillage est dans sa position verrouillée. La fermeture de la porte est ainsi inviolable.Indeed, the locking means 30 of the handle 20 are located at the longitudinal end of the handle 20 which is snapped onto the door 1. They therefore ensure that this longitudinal end of the handle 20 can not be disengaged from the door 1. Now the trunnion that is committed to the other end of the handle 20 in a housing of the door 1 can not be released from this housing. The handle 20 can not be dismounted from the door 1 when the locking device is in its locked position. The closing of the door is thus inviolable.

La présente invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés mais l'homme du métier saura y apporter toute variante conforme à son esprit.The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown, but the skilled person will be able to make any variant consistent with his mind.

On peut en particulier prévoir que les parties d'accrochage des deux tringles s'étendent selon des directions parallèles.In particular, it is possible for the hooking parts of the two rods to extend in parallel directions.
