Description

L'invention concerne une poignée d'ouvrant de véhicule automobile, en particulier une poignée d'une porte latérale avec un système de sécurité inertiel.The invention relates to an opening handle of a motor vehicle, in particular a handle of a side door with an inertial safety system.

Pour répondre aux diverses normes de sécurité, en particulier en cas de choc latéral, les poignées latérales de véhicule automobile connues actuellement sont équipées d'un système inertiel. Ce système inertiel se déclenche lors d'un choc latéral sur la porte et bloque le levier de préhension pour prévenir toute ouverture intempestive de la porte latérale qui pourrait causer une éjection du passager en dehors du véhicule.To meet the various safety standards, particularly in the event of a side impact, the lateral handles of a motor vehicle known today are equipped with an inertial system. This inertial system is triggered during a side impact on the door and blocks the lever to prevent unintentional opening of the side door that could cause an ejection of the passenger outside the vehicle.

Ces poignées connues comprennent un levier de préhension mobile en rotation par rapport à l'ouvrant entre une position de repos et une position de commande. Ce levier de préhension peut agir sur un levier de transmission qui va actionner, via une tringlerie ou des câbles Bowden l'ouverture d'une serrure de l'ouvrant.These known handles comprise a gripping lever movable in rotation relative to the opening between a rest position and a control position. This lever handle can act on a transmission lever that will actuate, via a linkage or Bowden cables the opening of a lock of the opening.

Le système inertiel est composé de manière connue d'une masse inertielle et d'un ergot de blocage solidaire de cette masse inertielle, qui coopère avec un épaulement du levier de transmission pour bloquer ledit levier en cas de choc latéral dans une position où il ne peut pas agir pour ouvrir la serrure.The inertial system is composed in known manner of an inertial mass and a locking lug integral with this inertial mass, which cooperates with a shoulder of the transmission lever for locking said lever in the event of a side impact in a position where it can not act to open the lock.

Une telle poignée est par exemple décrite dans le document de brevet WO2004/042177 au nom de la Demanderesse. Cette poignée comporte un levier de poignée qui peut tourner autour d'un premier axe dans un châssis ou socle destiné à être fixé à la porte et est connecté mécaniquement à une roue oscillante qui peut tourner dans ledit châssis autour d'un deuxième axe lorsque le levier est tiré de façon à ouvrir la porte. La roue oscillante est pourvue d'un épaulement capable d'être intercepté par une pièce de butée faisant partie d'un élément de verrouillage comprenant un levier de type balancier qui est pourvu d'une masse d'inertie et est articulé au châssis ou à un corps solidaire du châssis de façon à pivoter autour d'un troisième axe, de telle sorte que lors d'un pivotement violent du balancier la pièce de butée heurte l'épaulement et empêche la rotation de la roue oscillante. Ce troisième axe de rotation du balancier est sensiblement parallèle au premier axe de rotation du levier de poignée et la masse d'inertie est disposée entre ces deux axes de rotation.Such a handle is for example described in the patent document WO2004 / 042177 in the name of the Claimant. The handle includes a handle lever that is rotatable about a first axis in a frame or pedestal for attachment to the door and is mechanically connected to an oscillating wheel that can rotate in said frame about a second axis when the lever is pulled so as to open the door. The oscillating wheel is provided with a shoulder capable of being intercepted by a stop piece forming part of a locking member comprising a rocker type lever which is provided with a mass of inertia and is articulated to the frame or to a body secured to the frame so as to pivot about a third axis, so that during a violent pivoting of the balance the stop piece hits the shoulder and prevents the rotation of the oscillating wheel. This third axis of rotation of the balance is substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation of the handle lever and the mass of inertia is disposed between these two axes of rotation.

Si un tel agencement présente un résultat relativement satisfaisant, il s'avère cependant qu'il pose les inconvénients techniques suivants.
En cas de choc latéral violent sur la porte, il apparaît que les sollicitations subies par le châssis porteur de la poignée sont très hétérogènes. En autre, la constitution de la carrosserie du véhicule joue un rôle important. Par exemple, le niveau de l'articulation du levier de poignée qui correspond sensiblement au milieu de la porte est un emplacement présentant peu de rigidité. Par contre, l'autre extrémité du levier de poignée est à proximité d'une structure renforcée et rigide du véhicule. De plus, il en découle des vibrations du panneau de porte qui se répercutent sur la poignée et donc sur le balancier.
Le balancier peut alors être soumis à un déplacement plus rapide que les autres pièces. Il peut alors revenir dans sa position de repos par l'effet d'une sollicitation inverse, avant interception et verrouillage de l'épaulement de la roue oscillante au début de la rotation de celle-ci tirée par le levier. Sa fonction de sécurité est alors non remplie.If such an arrangement has a relatively satisfactory result, however, it turns out that it has the following technical drawbacks.
In the event of a violent side impact on the door, it appears that the stresses on the carrier frame of the handle are very heterogeneous. In addition, the constitution of the body of the vehicle plays an important role. For example, the level of articulation of the handle lever that corresponds substantially to the middle of the door is a location with little rigidity. By against the other end of the handle lever is close to a reinforced and rigid structure of the vehicle. In addition, it results in vibrations of the door panel that affect the handle and therefore the balance.
The balance can then be moved faster than other parts. It can then return to its rest position by the effect of a reverse bias, before interception and locking the shoulder of the oscillating wheel at the beginning of the rotation thereof pulled by the lever. Its security function is then not fulfilled.

Par ailleurs, lors de tels chocs latéraux, si l'élément venant en collision est bloqué en déplacement après le choc, il se produit un décollement entre cet élément et le véhicule qui continue à se déplacer emporté par son inertie. Si cet élément s'accroche alors au levier de la poignée avec un effort important et supérieur à l'effort exercé par le balancier, le levier de poignée est alors tiré et la porte peut être ouverte.Moreover, during such side impacts, if the colliding element is blocked in motion after the impact, there is a separation between this element and the vehicle continues to move carried away by its inertia. If this element then clings to the lever of the handle with a significant effort and greater than the force exerted by the balance, the handle lever is then pulled and the door can be opened.

Les documents WO2006/003197 et WO 2009/034035 ont apportés une amélioration importante à cette problématique. En effet, ces documents proposent une poignée de porte avec un système inertiel équipée en outre d'une pièce de blocage du système inertiel lorsque ce dernier est dans sa position active.The documents WO2006 / 003197 and WO 2009/034035 have made a significant improvement to this problem. Indeed, these documents provide a door handle with an inertial system further equipped with a blocking part of the inertial system when the latter is in its active position.

Toutefois, cette solution présente un encombrement et un cout de revient non négligeable.However, this solution has a bulk and a significant cost of return.

La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients de l'art antérieur en proposant une poignée dont le blocage du système de sécurité inertiel en position active est réalisé avec un coût et un encombrement optimisés.The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages of the prior art by providing a handle whose blocking of the inertial safety system in the active position is achieved with an optimized cost and size.

À cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une poignée d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile comprenant :

  • un levier de préhension mobile entre une position de repos et une position de commande pour l'ouverture d'une serrure de l'ouvrant,

  • un système de sécurité monté dans le socle, configuré pour empêcher la rotation du levier de transmission ou du levier de préhension en cas de choc, le système de sécurité comportant au moins une première masse inertielle pivotante entre une position de repos et une position active empêchant la rotation du levier de transmission ou du levier de préhension, lorsque ladite première masse inertielle subit une accélération en cas de choc, la poignée comportant en outre des premier et second moyens complémentaires de retenue de ladite masse inertielle dans sa position active dont l'un est porté par ladite masse inertielle et l'autre par le socle, dans laquelle les moyens de retenue portés par la masse inertielle comportent au moins une protubérance de retenue déformable élastiquement et coopérant avec les moyens de retenue complémentaires portés par le socle.

Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the following description given by way of example, without limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

La figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'une poignée 1 d'ouvrant d'un véhicule automobile, notamment d'une porte latérale.The figure 1 represents a perspective view of a door handle 1 of a motor vehicle, in particular a side door.

La poignée 1 d'ouvrant comporte un levier de préhension 3 accessible depuis l'extérieur du véhicule et sur laquelle un utilisateur tire vers l'extérieur pour ouvrir la porte.The opening handle 1 comprises a gripping lever 3 accessible from outside the vehicle and on which a user pulls outwards to open the door.

Ce levier 3 est relié à une partie fixe 5, également appelée socle, châssis ou support de poignée qui est destinée à être montée à l'intérieur de la porte, plus précisément derrière la face externe de la porte, et qui n'est donc pas visible une fois montée sur le véhicule.
La poignée 1 est ici une poignée de type "Frigo" et le levier de préhension 3 est mobile en rotation par rapport au socle 5.This lever 3 is connected to a fixed part 5, also called base, chassis or handle support which is intended to be mounted inside the door, more precisely behind the outer face of the door, and which is therefore not visible once mounted on the vehicle.
The handle 1 is here a handle type "Fridge" and the handle lever 3 is rotatable relative to the base 5.

Plus particulièrement, le levier de préhension 3 peut pivoter autour d'un premier axe de rotation Z entre une position de repos et une position de commande pour l'ouverture d'une serrure de l'ouvrant, lorsque l'utilisateur tire sur ce levier de préhension 3. Ce premier axe de rotation Z est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de rotation de la porte.More particularly, the gripping lever 3 can pivot about a first axis of rotation Z between a rest position and a control position for opening a lock of the opening, when the user pulls on this lever 3. This first axis of rotation Z is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the door.

Un premier mode de réalisation de ce socle 5 est représenté sur la figure 2 montrant une vue en perspective de l'arrière de la poignée 1, en particulier de son socle 5 selon un premier mode de réalisation.A first embodiment of this base 5 is shown on the figure 2 showing a perspective view of the rear of the handle 1, in particular of its base 5 according to a first embodiment.

Le socle 5 est par exemple réalisé par injection dans un matériau plastique ou dans un métal coulé sous pression.The base 5 is for example made by injection into a plastic material or a die cast metal.

Le socle 5 comporte un mécanisme de transmission 7 pour relier le levier de préhension 3 au mécanisme d'ouverture de la porte et un système de sécurité inertiel 9 pour éviter toute ouverture intempestive de l'ouvrant en cas de choc. Le mécanisme de transmission 7 comporte un levier de transmission 11 avec un contrepoids monté dans un logement du socle 5.The base 5 comprises a transmission mechanism 7 for connecting the handle lever 3 to the opening mechanism of the door and an inertial safety system 9 to prevent inadvertent opening of the door in the event of impact. The transmission mechanism 7 comprises a transmission lever 11 with a counterweight mounted in a housing of the base 5.

Ce levier de transmission 11 est monté pivotant, autour d'un second axe de rotation A entre une position de repos et une position active dans laquelle le levier de transmission 11 actionne l'ouverture de la serrure.This transmission lever 11 is pivotally mounted around a second axis of rotation A between a rest position and an active position in which the transmission lever 11 actuates the opening of the lock.

Par ailleurs, le mécanisme de transmission 7 est relié à un câble d'actionnement relié au mécanisme de la porte, plus précisément à la serrure (non représentée). Ainsi, lorsque le levier de transmission 11 se déplace vers la position active, le câble actionne l'ouverture de la serrure.Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 7 is connected to an actuating cable connected to the door mechanism, specifically to the lock (not shown). Thus, when the transmission lever 11 moves to the active position, the cable actuates the opening of the lock.

Par ailleurs, le système inertiel 9 comporte une masse inertielle 17 articulée sur le socle 5 ou une partie solidaire de ce socle 5. Comme on le constate sur la figure 2, la masse inertielle 17 s'étend selon un axe horizontal, ici l'axe longitudinal du levier de préhension 3.Furthermore, the inertial system 9 has an inertial mass 17 hinged to the base 5 or a portion integral with this base 5. As can be seen from FIG. figure 2 , the inertial mass 17 extends along a horizontal axis, here the longitudinal axis of the gripping lever 3.

Cette masse inertielle 17 est montée pivotante, par rapport au socle 5, autour d'un troisième axe de rotation B entre une position de repos et une position active dans laquelle le levier de transmission 11 est bloqué en rotation.This inertial mass 17 is pivotally mounted, relative to the base 5, about a third axis of rotation B between a rest position and an active position in which the transmission lever 11 is locked in rotation.

De manière alternative, la masse inertielle peut bloquer directement le levier de préhension 3.Alternatively, the inertial mass can directly lock the gripping lever 3.

Selon ce premier mode de réalisation, ce troisième axe de rotation B est sensiblement perpendiculaire au second axe A et sensiblement parallèle au premier axe de rotation Z.According to this first embodiment, this third axis of rotation B is substantially perpendicular to the second axis A and substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation Z.

En outre, un ressort de rappel 19 (voir figure 3A), par exemple de type hélicoïdal, permet de rappeler en position de repos la masse inertielle 17.In addition, a return spring 19 (see figure 3A ), for example of the helical type, makes it possible to recall the inertial mass 17 in the rest position.

La masse inertielle 17 est conformée pour pivoter lorsqu'elle subit de fortes accélérations, par exemple de l'ordre de 80-100 G (1G correspond à 9.80665 m.s-2).The inertial mass 17 is shaped to pivot when it undergoes strong accelerations, for example of the order of 80-100 G (1G corresponds to 9.80665 ms -2 ).

Cette masse inertielle 17 porte à une extrémité un ergot de blocage 21 qui coopère avec un épaulement 23 du levier de transmission 11 lors du pivotement de la première masse inertielle 17.This inertial mass 17 carries at one end a locking pin 21 which cooperates with a shoulder 23 of the transmission lever 11 during the pivoting of the first inertial mass 17.

Lors d'une ouverture normale de la porte, le levier de transmission 11 est entraîné en rotation sans que l'ergot de blocage 21 ne touche l'épaulement 23, la masse inertielle 17 restant immobile en position de repos (figure 3a).
En revanche, dans le cas d'un choc, si le levier de préhension 3 subit une force qui tendrait à l'ouvrir, la première masse inertielle 17 sera également soumise à la même force, de sorte que la masse inertielle 17 pivote, surmontant la force du ressort de rappel. Ceci entraîne que l'ergot de blocage 21 est déplacé jusqu'à intercepter l'épaulement 23 et verrouiller le levier de transmission 11 au début de la rotation du levier de transmission 11 (figure 3B).During a normal opening of the door, the transmission lever 11 is rotated without the locking pin 21 touching the shoulder 23, the inertial mass 17 remaining stationary in the rest position ( figure 3a ).
On the other hand, in the case of a shock, if the gripping lever 3 undergoes a force that tends to open it, the first inertial mass 17 will also be subjected to the same force, so that the inertial mass 17 pivots, overcoming the force of the return spring. This causes the locking lug 21 to be displaced until it intercepts the shoulder 23 and locks the transmission lever 11 at the beginning of the rotation of the transmission lever 11 ( figure 3B ).

Afin de sécuriser la masse inertielle 17 en position active, la poignée comporte en outre des premier 24 et second 25 moyens complémentaires de retenue de ladite masse inertielle 17 dans sa position active dont l'un 25 est porté par ladite masse inertielle 17 et l'autre 24 par le socle 5.In order to secure the inertial mass 17 in the active position, the handle further comprises first 24 and second complementary means 25 for retaining said inertial mass 17 in its active position, one of which is carried by said inertial mass 17 and the other 24 by the base 5.

Pour une efficacité de fonctionnement accrue, les moyens 24, 25 de retenue sont disposés proche d'une extrémité d'amplitude maximale de mouvement de ladite masse inertielle en cas de choc, c'est à l'extrémité libre, opposée à l'ergot 21.For an increased operating efficiency, the retaining means 24, 25 are arranged close to an end of maximum amplitude of movement of said inertial mass in the event of impact, it is at the free end, opposite the ergot. 21.

Selon le mode de réalisation des figures 2, 3A et 3B, les moyens de retenue 25 portés par la masse inertielle 17 comportent une bague ou fourreau de fixation 26 sur cette masse inertielle 17 ainsi que au moins, sur les figures 2, 3A et 3B deux protubérances de retenue 28 sous forme d'ailettes ou crochets qui sont déformables élastiquement et coopèrent avec les moyens 24 de retenue complémentaires portés par le socle 5. Ces protubérances 28 sont disposées sur des côtés opposés de la masse inertielle 17.According to the embodiment of Figures 2, 3A and 3B , the retaining means 25 carried by the inertial mass 17 comprise a ring or a fixing sleeve 26 on this inertial mass 17 as well as at least, on the Figures 2, 3A and 3B two retaining protrusions 28 in the form of fins or hooks which are elastically deformable and cooperate with the complementary retaining means 24 carried by the base 5. These protuberances 28 are arranged on opposite sides of the inertial mass 17.

Selon un aspect, les moyens de retenue 25 portés par la masse inertielle 17 sont réalisés en matière plastique, par exemple par injection. En conséquence, il s'agit d'une pièce de faible coût qui se monte facilement en l'enfilant sur la masse inertielle 17.In one aspect, the retaining means 25 carried by the inertial mass 17 are made of plastic, for example by injection. As a result, it is a low-cost piece that is easily mounted by threading it onto the inertial mass 17.

Les moyens de retenue 24 portés par le socle sont de préférence venus de matière avec celui-ci et sont réalisés sous forme d'un ou plusieurs crochets 30 coopérant avec les moyens de retenue 25 complémentaires portés par la masse inertielle.The retaining means 24 carried by the base are preferably integrally formed therewith and are in the form of one or more hooks 30 cooperating with the complementary retaining means 25 carried by the inertial mass.

La figure 3A montre la masse inertielle ainsi que les moyens 24, 25 de retenu en position de repos.
Si la poignée subit une accélération importante (flèche Fa sur la figure 3B) comme évoqué ci-dessus, la masse inertielle 17 se déplace relativement par rapport à la poignée dans le sens de la flèche Fd.The figure 3A shows the inertial mass and the means 24, 25 of retained in the rest position.
If the handle undergoes a significant acceleration (arrow Fa on the figure 3B As mentioned above, the inertial mass 17 moves relatively to the handle in the direction of the arrow Fd.

Dans ce cas, les ailettes 28 se déforment élastiquement pour venir se loger en fin de course derrière les crochets 30 qui empêchent toute oscillation de la masse inertielle. La masse inertielle 17 reste donc bloquée efficacement dans sa position active de blocage du levier de transmission 11, sécurisant donc contre toute ouverture intempestive de la porte.In this case, the fins 28 deform elastically to be housed at the end of the race behind the hooks 30 which prevent any oscillation of the inertial mass. The inertial mass 17 thus remains effectively locked in its active locking position of the transmission lever 11, thus securing against any inadvertent opening of the door.

On se réfère maintenant au mode de réalisation des figures 4, 5 ainsi que 6A et 6B. Les mêmes éléments portent les mêmes numéros de référence.Reference is now made to the embodiment of Figures 4, 5 as well as 6A and 6B. The same elements carry the same reference numbers.

La poignée 1 de la figure 4 diffère de celle de la figure 2 en ce qu'elle comporte une première masse inertielle 17 ainsi qu'une deuxième masse inertielle 117.The handle 1 of the figure 4 differs from that of figure 2 in that it comprises a first inertial mass 17 and a second inertial mass 117.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la première masse inertielle 17 fonctionne comme cela a été expliqué en relation avec les figures 2, 3A et 3B, mais elle est conformée différemment pour pivoter lorsqu'elle subit de faibles accélérations, par exemple de l'ordre de 15-20 G (1 G correspond à 9.80665 m.s-2).In this embodiment, the first inertial mass 17 functions as has been explained in connection with the Figures 2, 3A and 3B , but it is shaped differently to rotate when it undergoes low accelerations, for example of the order of 15-20 G (1 G corresponds to 9.80665 ms -2 ).

Aussi, à la différence du premier mode de réalisation, la première masse inertielle 17 n'est pas bloquée cette fois ci en position active et de ce fait, le levier de transmission 11 est bloqué de manière réversible.
La seconde masse inertielle 117 est disposée au niveau de l'emplacement du contrepoids du premier mode de réalisation.
Cette seconde masse inertielle est dimensionnée pour les fortes accélérations, par exemple de l'ordre 80-100G. Elle remplit donc le rôle qu'occupait la masse inertielle 17 du premier mode de réalisation.Also, unlike the first embodiment, the first inertial mass 17 is not locked this time in the active position and therefore, the transmission lever 11 is reversibly locked.
The second inertial mass 117 is disposed at the location of the counterweight of the first embodiment.
This second inertial mass is dimensioned for high accelerations, for example of the order 80-100G. It thus fulfills the role occupied by the inertial mass 17 of the first embodiment.

Comme on le voit sur les figures 6A et 6B, la masse inertielle 117 présente en coupe transversale une forme allongée avec une extrémité libre 120 sensiblement triangulaire. A l'opposé de cette extrémité 120, la masse inertielle 117 est articulée sur un axe 122 sensiblement parallèle à l'axe A. La masse inertielle est maintenue en position de repos par un ressort par exemple hélicoïdal 123.As we see on the Figures 6A and 6B , the inertial mass 117 has in cross section an elongated shape with a free end 120 substantially triangular. Opposite this end 120, the inertial mass 117 is articulated on an axis 122 substantially parallel to the axis A. The inertial mass is maintained in the rest position by a spring, for example helical 123.

Un levier 124 est solidaire de la masse inertielle 117 et peut prendre une position inactive (figure 6A) dans laquelle le levier de transmission 11 n'est pas bloqué, ou en cas de choc une position active (figure 6B) dans laquelle le levier 124 forme une butée pour une came 126 solidaire du levier de transmission bloquant ainsi celui-ci.A lever 124 is integral with the inertial mass 117 and can take an inactive position ( Figure 6A ) in which the transmission lever 11 is not blocked, or in case of shock an active position ( Figure 6B ) in which the lever 124 forms a stop for a cam 126 secured to the transmission lever thus blocking it.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, les premier 24 et second 25 moyens de retenue complémentaires sont agencés pour agir sur la seconde masse inertielle 117 dans sa position activeIn this embodiment, the first 24 and second complementary retaining means are arranged to act on the second inertial mass 117 in its active position.

Plus en détail, les moyens de retenue 24 portés par la masse inertielle comportent des moyens d'encliquetage de fixation sur cette masse inertielle, par exemple réalisés sous forme d'un clip 128 se greffant sur la masse inertielle 117.In more detail, the retaining means 24 carried by the inertial mass comprise fastening means for fastening to this inertial mass, for example made in the form of a clip 128 grafting onto the inertial mass 117.

Ce clip 128 comporte en outre un crochet 130 qui coopère en position active avec un crochet 132 solidaire et venu de matière avec le socle 5.This clip 128 further comprises a hook 130 which cooperates in the active position with a hook 132 secured to and integral with the base 5.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, le clip 128 peut être réalisé en matière plastique, en tant que pièce individuelle qui sera montée ensuite sur la masse inertielle ou par exemple par surmoulage.In this embodiment, the clip 128 may be made of plastic, as an individual piece which will then be mounted on the inertial mass or for example by overmolding.

Ce crochet 128 est une protubérance de retenue déformable élastiquement et disposée, comme on le voit sur les figures, proche d'une extrémité d'amplitude maximale de mouvement de ladite masse inertielle 117 (c'est-à-dire l'extrémité 120) en cas de choc.
Ainsi, dans le cas d'un choc violent, la seconde masse inertielle 117 pivote, surmontant la force du ressort 123, ce qui entraîne que le levier 124 se retrouve en vis-à-vis de la came 126, bloquant le levier de transmission. De plus, le crochet 130 passe derrière le crochet 132 bloquant ainsi la masse inertielle 117 dans sa position active.This hook 128 is an elastically deformable retaining protuberance and disposed, as can be seen in the figures, close to an end of maximum amplitude of movement of said inertial mass 117 (that is to say the end 120). in case of shock.
Thus, in the case of a violent impact, the second inertial mass 117 pivots, overcoming the force of the spring 123, which causes the lever 124 to be found opposite the cam 126, blocking the transmission lever . In addition, the hook 130 passes behind the hook 132 thus blocking the inertial mass 117 in its active position.

Bien entendu, par exemple en cas d'intervention de pompiers suite à un accident, le système de sécurité de la poignée ayant subie le choc peut être désactivé pour permettre l'ouverture de la porte.Of course, for example in case of intervention of firefighters following an accident, the security system of the handle that has suffered shock can be disabled to allow the opening of the door.
