Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a starter unit for a motor vehicle.
  • the mechanical start switches operate by permanent contact establishment that is to say that the start circuit is permanently closed until the engine is shut down while in the push buttons the circuit is closed by a pulse for starting and a pulse to shut down the engine.
  • the present invention aims to provide such a solution by implanting a mechanical switch in the housing dedicated to the push button.
  • the figure 1 is an exploded view of a starter switch according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which there is inter alia a stator 1, a so-called flake rotor 2 which is rotatably mounted in the stator.
  • a support piece 3 which will be called here the rotary contactor assembly, on which inner face are mounted two contactors 4, 5.
  • the contactors 4, 5, according to the illustrated embodiment consist of metal blades.
  • One of the contactors 4 is fixed directly to the rotary contactor assembly 3, for example by means of gluing, welding or clipping, and the other contactor 5 is carried by a slider 6 movably mounted on the rotary switch assembly 3
  • the movable assembly of the slider 6 is provided by a guiding device illustrated by the Figures 3 and 4 and is based on a non-limiting embodiment on the principle of a slide arranged in the rotary switch assembly 3 in which the base of the slide will be able to slide.
  • the slide is in the radial direction vis-à-vis the rotary contactor assembly 3, that is to say that the slide can move closer to the center of the rotary switch assembly 3 or away from it.
  • the contactors 4 and 5 face electrical tracks 7, here three, a central channel which corresponds to the power supply of the battery + Batt, and two peripheral channels which correspond to two outputs S1, S2.
  • a signal + Batt on the output S1 this when the contactor blade 4 makes the bridge between the channel + Batt and S1, and / or a signal + Batt on the output S2, this when the contactor blade 5 bridges the channel + Batt and S2.
  • the contactors 4 and 5 and the tracks 7 may be replaced by an assembly in which the blades 4 and 5 are replaced by projecting elements, and the tracks 7 are replaced by micro -switches actuated by these protruding elements. It would be possible in this case to use only two microswitches, one reproducing the closure of the circuit + Batt - S1, and the other reproducing the closure + Batt - S2.
  • the electrical tracks 7 are arranged in a support parts 8, which will be called here the static contactor assembly, and interface, at the output of the static contactor assembly 8 that is to say towards the inside of the vehicle, with the electrical connection of the vehicle.
  • the static contactor assembly 8 is made with the tracks 7, by plastic overmolding of the static contactor assembly 8 on the tracks 7.
  • a cover 9 In the center of this cover 9 is provided an orifice through which a central cylindrical portion 10 of the rotary contactor assembly 3 extending towards the outside and disposed on the outer face of the rotary contactor assembly 3.
  • This central cylindrical portion 10 will be able to mate with the rotor 2.
  • the cylindrical portion 10 plays the female role with its central groove and the rotor plays the role male with a central slice complementary to the groove of the cylindrical portion 10. It is not necessary that the two elements are fixed to each other so that the rotation of the rotor 2 causes rotation of the rotary switch assembly 3.
  • the cover 9 also fits on the static contactor assembly 8, the rotary switch assembly 3 thus being sandwiched between the cover 9 and the static contactor assembly 8.
  • the cover 9 has another orifice 11 eccentric and having a curved profile.
  • This curved profile of the orifice 11 will serve as a rising and falling ramp to a finger 12 of the slide 6.
  • the finger 12 is a stud extending towards the outside of the slider on the face opposite to the face on which the contactor 5 is fixed. The displacement of the finger 12 along the curved profile will result as will be described later. the radial displacement of the slide 6.
  • a return spring 13 is disposed between the stator 1 and the rotor 2. It makes it possible to automatically return the rotor 2 to a predetermined position. This aspect will be described in more detail later in the description.
  • cover 14 which will fit on the stator 1. This makes it possible to hold together the rotor parts 2 cover 9, rotary switch assembly 3, contactor 4 and 5, and static contactor assembly 8 with the tracks 7.
  • the engagement of the cover 14 on the stator 1 is, in the embodiment chosen, by two lugs coming to be clipped on two lugs formed on the outer walls of the stator 1.
  • the flake rotor 2 can make rotational movement inside the stator 1 only if a key (not shown) having a Conformal profile is introduced into the rotor 2. This is the standard case of a so-called purely mechanical coding.
  • the rotor 2 Since the coding has been recognized, the rotor 2 is rotated with the key in a clockwise direction.
  • the rotation of the rotor 2 starts in an angular position (not shown) of the key, corresponding to a starting angular position P0 of the finger 12 of the slider 6 in the curved profile of the orifice 11 of the cover 9.
  • the angular position of the finger 12 is calculated with reference to the axis A-A '.
  • the curved profile of the orifice 11 comprises several segments, a descending segment SD the most eccentric and which corresponds to the curve followed by the finger 12 when the rotation of the key takes place in the direction of clockwise, and a rising segment SM which corresponds to the curve followed by the finger 12 when the rotation of the key is in the opposite direction of the clockwise.
  • the descending segment SD is itself divided into two segments SD1 and SD2.
  • the first segment SD1 follows the outer perimeter of the rotary contactor assembly 3 from the starting point D, to the point P. Throughout the segment SD1, the distance at the center of the rotary contactor assembly 3 is kept constant at the value R.
  • the second segment SD2 starts at point P to reach stop B. The transition from point P to stop B occurs with a decrease in the distance at the center of the rotary switch assembly 3.
  • the finger 12 approaches the center of the rotary contactor assembly 3 and thus the slider 6 carrying the contactor 5 moves radially toward the center of the assembly rotary contactor 3.
  • segment SD2 is a straight line.
  • the rising segment SM it is also divided into two segments SM1 and SM2.
  • the first segment SM1 starts at the stop B to go to an intermediate point I.
  • the second segment SM2 starts at point I to return to starting point D.
  • the transition from point I to point of departure D occurs with an increase in the distance to the center of the rotary contactor assembly 3.
  • the finger 12 thus moves away from the center of the rotary switch assembly 3 and therefore the slide 6 carrying the contactor 5 moves radially away from the center of the rotary contactor assembly 3.
  • the segment SM2 is a straight line.
  • an indexing position I1 and I2 is provided on the slide of the rotary switch assembly 3. This allows to hold a fixed position as the distance to the center of the rotary switch assembly 3 does not change.
  • the slider has z1 and z2 areas of flexible material capable of extending into the indexing notches A and B, and able to fade during the transition from indexing A to indexing B.
  • Another embodiment can be considered to mount instead of the zones of flexible material z1 and z2 spring-mounted parts, and also consider making one or more additional indexing.
  • This position also corresponds, in a high-end startup device provided with a badge reader and a push button, the presence of a conforming badge introduced in the badge reader.
  • the finger 12 in the angular position P2 is passed in the segment SD2 with a decrease in the distance at the center of the rotary contactor assembly 3.
  • the finger 12 has approached the center of the rotary contactor assembly 3 causing a radial displacement of the slide towards the center of the rotary switch assembly 3.
  • the contactor blade 5 comes to establish a bridge between the + Batt channel and the S2 channel.
  • the output S2 is thus activated, and delivers as illustrated figure 15 the voltage + Batt.
  • This information is interpreted by the vehicle computer as a start signal of the engine, and the vehicle engine is started.
  • the vehicle computer mounted downstream of the output S2 has interpreted, without resorting to significant changes compared to the case of the badge reader + push button, the activation and deactivation of the output S2 , as a motor start control pulse.
  • this position is equivalent to the push button in the released position.
  • the return spring 13 automatically returns, by rotation in the counterclockwise direction of an angle A5, and allows the finger 12 to reach the angular position P5.
  • This deactivation of the S1 output as the first significant step in the removal of the key simulates the extraction of a badge before stopping the engine, a process that is possible in some vehicles.
  • the output S1 remains activated at this stage and in particular until the engine shutdown, ie second activation of the output S2, or even after this step.
  • the vehicle computer has therefore received a signal equivalent to an engine stop control pulse as is the case with a conventional push button, thus causing no significant modification of the computer.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described.
  • the tracks can be replaced by microswitches.
  • the displacement of the slider other than radial, for example transverse.
  • the device may also be provided with a plurality of fixed contactors movable on the rotary switch assembly.
  • the start switch As schematized on the figure 16 , the start switch, according to the embodiment of the invention which has just been described and which is non-limiting, is entirely adapted to allow in the most simple and economical way possible, the passage of a vehicle in a so-called "high-end” version, including a badge, a badge reader, a push button, a computer, a starter and an electric steering lock, to the same vehicle in its so-called “low-end” version with a key, a start switch, a computer, a starter and an electric steering lock.
  • high-end including a badge, a badge reader, a push button, a computer, a starter and an electric steering lock
  • a starting switch there is only one electrical output activated by a single switch mounted on the rotary switch assembly.
  • the activation and deactivation of the single output during the rotation of the rotor in a first direction, will be interpreted by the computer as the start of the vehicle and the start of the engine, and the activation and deactivation of the single output when rotating the rotor in the opposite direction, will be interpreted by the computer as the shutdown of the engine and the vehicle power supply.
