Description

CHARNIERE DE CAPOT POUR VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE ET VEHICULE COMPORTANT UNE TELLE CHARNIERE DE CAPOT. HOOD HINGE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE AND VEHICLE COMPRISING SUCH A HOOD HINGE.
La présente invention concerne une charnière pour le capot du compartiment moteur d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a hinge for the hood of the engine compartment of a motor vehicle.
On sait que la charnière du capot d'un véhicule automobile comprend un charnon fixe relié par un axe d'articulation à un charnon mobile destiné à être fixé sur la surface intérieure du capot.It is known that the hood hinge of a motor vehicle comprises a fixed knuckle connected by a hinge pin to a movable knuckle intended to be fixed on the inner surface of the hood.
Le charnon fixe comporte une surface d'appui présentant des moyens de fixation tels que des trous permettant sa fixation au moyen de vis sur une partie de la caisse du véhicule située sous le capot.The fixed knuckle has a bearing surface having fastening means such as holes for fixing it by means of screws on a part of the vehicle body located under the hood.
Près de la zone de fixation du charnon fixe de la charnière sont fixés de nombreux composants du véhicule tels que la béquille du capot, l'une des ailes avant, l'un des projecteurs et l'une des extrémités du support de la grille de l'auvent qui s'étend sous la partie arrière du capot.Near the fixing area of the fixed knuckle of the hinge are fixed many components of the vehicle such as the bonnet stand, one of the front wings, one of the projectors and one of the ends of the support of the grid of the awning which extends under the rear part of the hood.
Tous ces composants nécessitent chacun un support pour les fixer à la caisse du véhicule.All of these components each require a bracket to attach to the vehicle body.
Tous ces supports sont difficiles à implanter en raison de leur proximité. Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à cet inconvénient. Ce but est atteint, selon l'invention, grâce à une charnière pour le capot du compartiment moteur d'un véhicule automobile, comprenant un charnon fixe relié par un axe d'articulation à un charnon mobile destiné à être fixé au capot, le charnon fixe comportant une surface d'appui présentant des moyens de fixation permettant sa fixation sur une partie de la caisse du véhicule, caractérisée en ce que le charnon fixe comporte au moins une surface distincte de la surface d'appui, présentant des moyens de fixation destinés à permettre la fixation de divers composants du véhicule.All these supports are difficult to implement because of their proximity. The object of the present invention is to overcome this disadvantage. This object is achieved, according to the invention, by means of a hinge for the hood of the engine compartment of a motor vehicle, comprising a fixed knuckle connected by a hinge pin to a movable knuckle intended to be fixed to the hood, the knuckle stationary device comprising a bearing surface having fixing means for fixing it to a part of the vehicle body, characterized in that the fixed knuckle comprises at least one surface distinct from the bearing surface, having fixing means intended to to allow the attachment of various components of the vehicle.
La demanderesse a constaté en effet, que le charnon fixe d'une charnière de capot est une pièce qui est fixée sur la caisse du véhicule dans une position géométrique de référence optimale.The plaintiff has indeed found that the fixed knuckle of a hood hinge is a part which is fixed on the vehicle body in an optimal reference geometrical position.
Ainsi, en regroupant sur cette pièce plusieurs moyens de fixation, tels que des trous, permettant la fixation des divers composants, non seulement, on fait l'économie de plusieurs supports, mais on garantit pour chacun des composants une position géométrique de référence optimale.Thus, by grouping on this piece several fastening means, such as holes, allowing the attachment of the various components, not only, but also the economy of several supports, but we guarantee for each of the components an optimal geometric reference position.
Les moyens de fixation présents sur ladite surface distincte du charnon fixe sont de préférence au moins en partie constitués par des trous de passage de vis ou autres organes de fixation.The fixing means present on said distinct surface of the fixed knuckle are preferably at least partly constituted by screw holes or other fasteners.
De préférence, ladite surface distincte est située dans un plan décalé en hauteur par rapport à celui de ladite surface d'appui.Preferably, said distinct surface is located in a plane offset in height relative to that of said bearing surface.
Cette disposition facilite la fixation des composants à ladite surface distincte, lorsque la surface d'appui du charnon fixe est déjà fixée sur la caisse du véhicule. De préférence également, ladite surface distincte est reliée à l'un des bords de ladite surface d'appui par une paroi sensiblement perpendiculaire à cette surface d'appui et à cette surface distincte.This arrangement facilitates the attachment of the components to said distinct surface, when the bearing surface of the fixed knuckle is already attached to the vehicle body. Also preferably, said distinct surface is connected to one of the edges of said bearing surface by a wall substantially perpendicular to the bearing surface and to this distinct surface.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, le charnon fixe comporte une seconde surface distincte de ladite surface d'appui, présentant des moyens de fixation destinés à permettre la fixation d'autres composants du véhicule.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the fixed knuckle comprises a second surface distinct from said bearing surface, having fastening means intended to allow the attachment of other components of the vehicle.
De préférence, cette seconde surface distincte est reliée à l'un des bords de ladite surface d'appui par une paroi sensiblement perpendiculaire à cette surface d'appui et à cette seconde surface distincte. Dans une version préférée, ladite seconde surface distincte est reliée à un bord longitudinal de ladite surface d'appui situé à l'opposé du bord de celle-ci auquel est reliée la première surface distincte.Preferably, this second distinct surface is connected to one of the edges of said bearing surface by a wall substantially perpendicular to the bearing surface and to this second distinct surface. In a preferred version, said second distinct surface is connected to a longitudinal edge of said bearing surface situated opposite the edge thereof to which the first distinct surface is connected.
Cette disposition permet de mieux répartir les points de fixation des composants de part et d'autre du charnon fixe. De préférence également, la première et la seconde surfaces distinctes sont décalées l'une de l'autre suivant la longueur de la surface d'appui du charnon fixe.This arrangement makes it possible to better distribute the attachment points of the components on either side of the fixed knuckle. Also preferably, the first and second distinct surfaces are offset from each other along the length of the bearing surface of the fixed knuckle.
Le charnon fixe de la charnière selon l'invention peut être réalisé d'une seule pièce par emboutissage d'une tôle par exemple en acier d'épaisseur comprise entre 2 et 4 millimètres. On peut ainsi obtenir un support à la fois solide pour plusieurs composants, mais également léger, car il remplace plusieurs supports. L'invention concerne également un véhicule automobile comportant un capot de compartiment moteur relié de façon articulée à la caisse du véhicule automobile par au moins une charnière selon l'invention.The fixed knuckle of the hinge according to the invention can be made in one piece by stamping a sheet, for example steel thickness of between 2 and 4 millimeters. It is thus possible to obtain a support that is both solid for several components, but also lightweight because it replaces several supports. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle having a motor compartment cover hingedly connected to the body of the motor vehicle by at least one hinge according to the invention.
De préférence, plusieurs composants du véhicule sont fixés sur l'une au moins desdites surfaces distinctes du charnon fixe de la charnière.Preferably, several components of the vehicle are fixed on at least one of said distinct surfaces of the fixed knuckle of the hinge.
Lesdits composants peuvent être les suivants : la béquille du capot, le support de la grille d'auvent, l'aile avant, et - le projecteur.Said components may be: the bonnet stand, the awning rack support, the front fender, and - the projector.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore tout au long de la description ci-après.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent throughout the description below.
