Description

L'invention concerne les poignées pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile.The invention relates to the handles for opening of a motor vehicle.

On connaît des poignées pour ouvrant de véhicule, munies d'un dispositif de sécurité à masse inertielle permettant en cas d'accident d'éviter l'ouverture de l'ouvrant sous l'effet de la décélération subie par la partie préhensible de la poignée. Le document EP-1 556 569 divulgue ainsi un mécanisme à pendule qui autorise le déverrouillage de la porte et son ouverture lorsque l'utilisateur saisit la partie préhensible de la poignée externe, mais qui interdit cette ouverture sous l'effet de la décélération intempestive de la partie préhensible de la poignée, une masselotte du pendule provoquant en effet par inertie le placement de ce dernier dans une position de verrouillage de sécurité de la porte.Known handles for opening a vehicle, provided with an inertial mass safety device allowing in case of accident to avoid the opening of the opening under the effect of the deceleration experienced by the gripping portion of the handle . The document EP-1,556,569 discloses a pendulum mechanism that allows the unlocking of the door and its opening when the user grasps the gripping portion of the external handle, but which prohibits this opening under the effect of the inadvertent deceleration of the gripping portion of the handle, a weight of the pendulum causing inertia by placing the latter in a security locking position of the door.

Les dispositifs de sécurité à masse inertielle présentent toutefois des inconvénients. Ils nécessitent des calculs poussés de dimensionnement de la masselotte. De plus, ils compliquent le développement des nouvelles poignées de véhicule. Ces mécanismes allongent aussi l'assemblage de la poignée et rendent plus difficile sa standardisation pour l'intégrer à des projets différents.Safety devices with inertial mass, however, have disadvantages. They require extensive calculations for sizing the weight. In addition, they complicate the development of new vehicle handles. These mechanisms also lengthen the assembly of the handle and make it more difficult to standardize it for integration into different projects.

C'est la raison pour laquelle on a proposé des dispositifs de sécurité pour ouvrant de véhicule dépourvus de mécanisme à masse inertielle. C'est le cas par exemple du document EP-1 950 366 . Dans ce dernier, la partie préhensible de la poignée comprend une gâchette qui, pour l'ouverture, met en prise deux éléments de la chaîne cinématique de déverrouillage de l'ouvrant. Ainsi, lorsque l'utilisateur agrippe la partie préhensible de la poignée, il met en prise les éléments de la chaîne, ce qui permet le déverrouillage et l'ouverture de l'ouvrant. En cas de choc du véhicule, même si la partie préhensible de la poignée se déplace par inertie, la gâchette n'est pas actionnée. Les pièces n'étant pas en prise, la chaîne cinématique demeure interrompue de sorte que le mouvement de la partie préhensible de la poignée se produit sans déverrouiller l'ouvrant.This is the reason why safety devices have been proposed for opening a vehicle without an inertial mass mechanism. This is the case, for example, in the document EP-1,950,366 . In the latter, the gripping portion of the handle comprises a trigger which, for opening, engages two elements of the kinematic chain unlocking the opening. Thus, when the user grasps the gripping portion of the handle, it engages the elements of the chain, which allows the unlocking and opening of the opening. In case of shock of the vehicle, even if the gripping part of the handle moves by inertia, the trigger is not actuated. As the parts are not engaged, the power train remains interrupted so that the movement of the gripping portion of the handle occurs without unlocking the door.

En outre, le document DE 196 42 698 A1 divulgue une poignée présentant les caractéristiques du préambule de la revendication 1.In addition, the document DE 196 42 698 A1 discloses a handle having the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Un but de l'invention est de proposer une poignée d'un type différent mais susceptible elle aussi d'être exempte de masse inertielle.An object of the invention is to provide a handle of a different type but may also be free of inertial mass.

A cet effet, on prévoit selon l'invention une poignée d'ouvrant de véhicule, comprenant:

  • un actionneur monté mobile entre une position de repos de l'actionneur et une position de déverrouillage de l'ouvrant,
  • une partie préhensible de la poignée apte à commander directement l'actionneur, ladite partie préhensible étant monté mobile en rotation autour d'un axe et comportant un bras allongé entrainant ledit actionneur, et
  • un organe de blocage agencé pour occuper une position de repos dans laquelle il bloque l'actionneur en position de repos de l'actionneur,
caractérisée en ce que ledit organe de blocage s'étend à travers le bras allongé et que ledit organe de blocage, en position de repos, pénètre dans l'actionneur, notamment dans une face circonférentielle de ce dernier. Ainsi, contrairement au principe retenu dans le document EP-1 950 366 , la sécurité est procurée non par l'interruption de la chaîne cinématique en position de repos, mais par le fait que cette chaîne cinématique est immobilisée, par le blocage de l'actionneur, en position de repos. Lorsqu'il s'agit de déverrouiller l'ouvrant, on met fin au blocage de l'actionneur de sorte que la chaîne cinématique peut agir normalement. Cet agencement permet lui aussi de se dispenser d'une masse inertielle. En outre, il peut être réalisé sous une forme peu encombrante et simple à assembler. Il présente un fonctionnement fiable en toutes circonstances et peut facilement être standardisé pour être adapté à différents projets.For this purpose, it provides according to the invention a vehicle opening handle, comprising:
  • an actuator movably mounted between a rest position of the actuator and an unlocking position of the leaf,
  • a gripping portion of the handle adapted to directly control the actuator, said gripping portion being rotatably mounted about an axis and having an elongated arm driving said actuator, and
  • a locking member arranged to occupy a rest position in which it blocks the actuator in the rest position of the actuator,
characterized in that said locking member extends through the elongate arm and that said locking member, in the rest position, enters the actuator, in particular in a circumferential face of the latter. Thus, contrary to the principle retained in the document EP-1,950,366 , security is not provided by the interruption of the driveline in the position of rest, but in that this kinematic chain is immobilized by the locking of the actuator, in the rest position. When it comes to unlock the sash, it ends the blocking of the actuator so that the drive train can act normally. This arrangement also allows to dispense with an inertial mass. In addition, it can be made in a form that is compact and easy to assemble. It has reliable operation in all circumstances and can easily be standardized to suit different projects.

La poignée selon l'invention pourra présenter en outre au moins l'une quelconque des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • l'organe de blocage est monté coulissant, par exemple suivant une direction orthogonale à un axe de rotation de l'actionneur ;
  • la direction de coulissement est horizontale ;
  • la direction de coulissement est perpendiculaire à un plan général d'appui d'une partie préhensible de la poignée de la poignée sur l'ouvrant ;
  • la poignée est agencée de sorte que la partie préhensible de la poignée est en prise avec l'actionneur quelle que soit la position de la partie préhensible de la poignée et celle de l'actionneur ;
  • la poignée comprend un organe de commande de déblocage apte à faire quitter à l'organe de blocage sa position de repos ;
  • elle comprend une partie préhensible de la poignée présentant une fenêtre dans laquelle s'étend l'organe de commande de déblocage ; et
  • elle comprend un câble de transmission d'une commande de déverrouillage actionné par l'actionneur pour le déverrouillage.
The handle according to the invention may also have at least one of the following characteristics:
  • the locking member is slidably mounted, for example in a direction orthogonal to an axis of rotation of the actuator;
  • the sliding direction is horizontal;
  • the sliding direction is perpendicular to a general plane of support of a gripping portion of the handle of the handle on the opening;
  • the handle is arranged so that the gripping portion of the handle is engaged with the actuator regardless of the position of the gripping portion of the handle and that of the actuator;
  • the handle comprises an unlocking control member adapted to make leave the locking member its rest position;
  • it comprises a gripping portion of the handle having a window in which the unlocking control member extends; and
  • it comprises a transmission cable of an unlocking command actuated by the actuator for unlocking.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore dans la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective montrant quelques pièces d'une poignée selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la poignée étant au repos ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue à plus grande échelle d'une partie de la poignée de la figure 1 ; et
  • la figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 1 montrant la poignée au cours du déverrouillage de l'ouvrant.
Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the following description of an embodiment given by way of non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view showing some parts of a handle according to one embodiment of the invention, the handle being at rest;
  • the figure 2 is a larger-scale view of part of the handle of the figure 1 ; and
  • the figure 3 is a view similar to the figure 1 showing the handle during unlocking of the sash.

On a illustré aux figures une poignée 2 pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile terrestre tel qu'un véhicule de tourisme. L'ouvrant est par exemple une porte latérale avant donnant accès à l'habitacle pour qu'une personne puisse y prendre place. On utilise dans la suite le repère orthogonal X, Y, Z où X désigne la direction longitudinale horizontale du véhicule correspondant à sa direction de marche, la direction Y la direction horizontale transversale et la direction Z la direction verticale. L'ouvrant s'étend principalement suivant les directions X et Z.FIGS are illustrated a handle 2 for opening a motor vehicle such as a passenger vehicle. The opening is for example a front side door giving access to the cabin so that a person can take place. The orthogonal coordinate system X, Y, Z is used in the following, where X designates the horizontal longitudinal direction of the vehicle corresponding to its direction of travel, the direction Y the transverse horizontal direction and the direction Z the vertical direction. The opening extends mainly along the X and Z directions.

La poignée 2 comprend une partie préhensible de la poignée externe 4 destinée à être actionnée directement par un utilisateur depuis l'extérieur de l'ouvrant pour déverrouiller ce dernier et l'ouvrir.The handle 2 comprises a gripping portion of the external handle 4 intended to be actuated directly by a user from outside the opening to unlock the latter and open it.

La partie préhensible de la poignée 4 a une forme allongée suivant la direction X. La partie préhensible de la poignée présente en regard de l'ouvrant une face interne 8 de forme plane correspondant sensiblement à la face externe de l'ouvrant et s'étendant principalement dans un plan parallèle aux directions X et Z. La face 8 est évidée de façon à ménager dans la partie préhensible de la poignée une fenêtre 10 traversant celle-ci de part en part suivant la direction Z, et donnant à la partie préhensible de la poignée une forme générale en arche aplatie suivant la direction Y. La partie préhensible de la poignée 4 est montée mobile à rotation sur un bâti de la poignée ou de l'ouvrant autour d'un axe vertical 6 situé ici à l'extrémité de la partie préhensible de la poignée située la plus en arrière suivant la direction X et par référence au sens de marche du véhicule. Pour le déverrouillage de l'ouvrant, l'utilisateur fait tourner la partie préhensible de la poignée suivant la direction de la flèche 12 pour l'éloigner de l'ouvrant. La partie préhensible de la poignée 4 est illustrée sur les figures dans sa position de repos, dans laquelle elle se trouve ramenée au moyen d'un ressort de rappel non représenté.The gripping part of the handle 4 has an elongate shape in the X direction. The gripping part of the handle has, facing the opening leaf, an inner face 8 of planar shape corresponding substantially to the external face of the opening and extending mainly in a plane parallel to the X and Z directions. The face 8 is recessed so as to arrange in the gripping portion of the handle a window 10 passing therethrough in the direction Z, and giving the gripping portion of the handle has a generally flattened arch shape in the Y direction. The gripping part of the handle 4 is rotatably mounted on a frame of the handle or the opening around a vertical axis 6 located here at the end of the handle. the gripping part of the handle located furthest back in the X direction and with reference to the direction of travel of the vehicle. For the unlocking of the opening, the user rotates the gripping portion of the handle in the direction of the arrow 12 to move away from the opening. The gripping portion of the handle 4 is illustrated in the figures in its rest position, in which it is returned by means of a return spring not shown.

La partie préhensible de la poignée 4 porte, à son extrémité longitudinale opposée à l'axe 6, un bras 14 allongé suivant la direction Y en direction de l'ouvrant. Ce bras est d'une seule pièce avec le corps principal externe de la partie préhensible de la poignée et présente à son extrémité libre un crochet 16 formé par un prolongement de cette extrémité suivant la direction X en direction de l'axe 6 et par une cavité 18.The gripping portion of the handle 4 carries, at its longitudinal end opposite the axis 6, an arm 14 elongate in the direction Y towards the opening. This arm is in one piece with the outer main body of the gripping portion of the handle and has at its free end a hook 16 formed by an extension of this end in the direction X in the direction of the axis 6 and by a cavity 18.

La poignée 2 comprend en outre un actionneur de déverrouillage 20 sous la forme d'un levier de transmission monté mobile à rotation par rapport au bâti de la poignée et de l'ouvrant autour d'un axe 22 en l'espèce horizontal et parallèle à la direction X. Le levier 20 est monté mobile entre une position de repos, illustrée sur les figures, dans laquelle il ne commande pas le déverrouillage et une position active dans laquelle il commande le déverrouillage. Le levier 20 est rappelé en position de repos au moyen d'un ressort 24 ici de forme hélicoïdale et coaxial à l'axe 22, prenant appui d'une part sur le levier et d'autre part sur le bâti.The handle 2 further comprises an unlocking actuator 20 in the form of a transmission lever mounted to rotate with respect to the frame of the handle and the opening around an axis 22 in the horizontal case and parallel to the direction X. The lever 20 is movably mounted between a rest position, illustrated in the figures, in which it does not control the unlocking and an active position in which it controls the unlocking. The lever 20 is returned to the rest position by means of a spring 24 here of helical shape and coaxial with the axis 22, bearing on the one hand on the lever and on the other hand on the frame.

La poignée comprend un câble non illustré par l'intermédiaire duquel le levier est relié, en aval de la chaîne cinématique de la poignée, aux autres organes de cette dernière afin que le câble puisse transmettre une commande de déverrouillage émanant du levier.The handle comprises an unillustrated cable through which the lever is connected, downstream of the kinematic chain of the handle, to the other members of the latter so that the cable can transmit an unlocking command emanating from the lever.

Le levier 20 comprend un prolongement 26 s'étendant à partir d'un noyau 21 du levier suivant un arc de cercle situé dans un plan parallèle aux directions Y et Z et ayant un axe 23 parallèle à l'axe 22. Ce prolongement forme un crochet engagé dans le crochet du bras 14 et dans la cavité 18.The lever 20 comprises an extension 26 extending from a core 21 of the lever along an arc of a circle situated in a plane parallel to the directions Y and Z and having an axis 23 parallel to the axis 22. This extension forms a hook engaged in the hook of the arm 14 and in the cavity 18.

Le prolongement 26 présente une face circonférentielle 28 de forme cylindrique à section circulaire dans un plan perpendiculaire à la direction X. Cette face présente un orifice 30 de forme cylindrique s'étendant suivant un axe 31 radial à l'axe 23 et parallèle à la direction Y.The extension 26 has a circumferential face 28 of cylindrical shape with a circular section in a plane perpendicular to the direction X. This face has a hole 30 of cylindrical shape extending along an axis 31 radial to the axis 23 and parallel to the direction Y.

La poignée 2 comprend en outre un organe commande de déblocage 32 dont une partie s'étend à l'intérieur de la partie préhensible de la poignée 4 et l'autre partie s'étend dans la fenêtre 10 en étant visible dans cette dernière sur les figures. Cet organe de commande de déblocage 32 forme ici une gâchette. La gâchette est montée mobile à rotation, par rapport à la partie préhensible de la poignée 4, autour d'un axe vertical 34. La gâchette 32 est illustrée en position de repos sur la figure 1 et en position de déblocage sur la figure 3. Elle est ramenée en position de repos au moyen d'un ressort de rappel non illustré. Elle s'étend davantage en saillie de la partie préhensible de la poignée 4 et dans la fenêtre 10 en position de repos qu'en position de déblocage.The handle 2 further comprises an unlocking control member 32, part of which extends inside the gripping portion of the handle 4 and the other part extends into the window 10 while being visible in the latter on the FIGS. This unlocking control member 32 here forms a trigger. The trigger is rotatably mounted relative to the gripping portion of the handle 4 about a vertical axis 34. The trigger 32 is illustrated in the rest position on the figure 1 and in unlocking position on the figure 3 . It is returned to the rest position by means of a return spring not shown. It extends more protruding from the gripping portion of the handle 4 and in the window 10 in the rest position in unlocking position.

La gâchette comprend un doigt de blocage 36 formant un pêne et s'étendant à travers le bras 14 jusque dans la cavité 18. Le pêne 36 est relié à un corps principal 37 de la gâchette 32 de façon à être mobile à coulissement suivant une direction horizontale parallèle à la direction Y et coïncidant avec l'axe 31 de l'orifice 30 en position de repos du levier 20. En position de repos, comme illustré à la figure 1, le pêne 36 traverse la cavité 18 et s'étend dans l'orifice 30 du prolongement 26 formant de ce fait une gâche. En position de déblocage comme illustré sur la figure 3, la gâchette 32 maintient le pêne 36 hors de la gâche 30 et de la cavité 18.The trigger comprises a locking pin 36 forming a bolt and extending through the arm 14 into the cavity 18. The bolt 36 is connected to a main body 37 of the trigger 32 so as to be slidably movable in one direction horizontal parallel to the Y direction and coinciding with the axis 31 of the orifice 30 in the rest position of the lever 20. In the rest position, as illustrated in FIG. figure 1 , the bolt 36 passes through the cavity 18 and extends into the orifice 30 of the extension 26 thereby forming a keeper. In unlocking position as illustrated on the figure 3 the trigger 32 holds the bolt 36 out of the keeper 30 and the cavity 18.

Les autres parties de la poignée, notamment celles situées en aval de la chaîne cinématique, sont d'un type classique.The other parts of the handle, especially those located downstream of the drive train, are of a conventional type.

La poignée 2 fonctionne de la façon suivante.The handle 2 operates as follows.

Dans la position de repos de la poignée, les pièces occupent leur position de repos illustrée à la figure 1. L'ouvrant se trouve en position fermée et verrouillée au reste de la structure du véhicule. Le pêne 36 s'étend dans la gâche 30. Il interdit ainsi tout mouvement du levier 20 qu'il bloque rigidement en position. Le crochet 16 est en prise avec le prolongement 26 du levier 20. La manoeuvre de la poignée se trouve donc bloquée tant que l'utilisateur ne commande pas son déblocage en vue du déverrouillage. En cas de décélération brutale de la partie préhensible de la poignée 4 concomitante à un accident, un mouvement de cette dernière est rendu impossible par sa liaison au levier 20, lui-même bloqué en position.In the rest position of the handle, the parts occupy their rest position illustrated in FIG. figure 1 . The opening is in the closed position and locked to the rest of the vehicle structure. The bolt 36 extends in the striker 30. It thus prevents any movement of the lever 20 that rigidly blocks in position. The hook 16 is engaged with the extension 26 of the lever 20. The operation of the handle is locked so that the user does not control its release for unlocking. In case of sudden deceleration of the gripping portion of the handle 4 concomitant to an accident, a movement of the latter is made impossible by its connection to the lever 20, itself locked in position.

Pour ouvrir l'ouvrant, en référence à la figure 3, l'utilisateur saisit directement avec sa main à la fois la partie préhensible de la poignée 4 et la gâchette 32 en glissant ses doigts dans l'ouverture formée par la fenêtre 10. Cette action d'agrippement provoque tout d'abord le déplacement en rotation de la gâchette 32 autour de son axe suivant la flèche 12. Au cours de ce mouvement, la gâchette emmène le pêne 36 qui sort de la gâche 30 et de la cavité 18, libérant ainsi le levier 20. Au cours de la suite du mouvement, l'utilisateur déplace la partie préhensible de la poignée 4 suivant le sens de la flèche 12, de sorte que le crochet 16 tire le prolongement 26 suivant la direction Y pour provoquer la rotation du levier 20, maintenant libre de tourner. Ce dernier tire le câble pour transmettre aux autres éléments de la chaîne cinématique situés en aval la commande de déverrouillage de l'ouvrant. Une fois ce déverrouillage accompli, l'ouvrant peut être manoeuvré et ouvert par l'utilisateur.To open the opening, with reference to the figure 3 , the user grasps directly with his hand both the gripping portion of the handle 4 and the trigger 32 by sliding his fingers into the opening formed by the window 10. This gripping action causes first of all the displacement in rotation of the trigger 32 about its axis according to the arrow 12. During this movement, the trigger takes the bolt 36 which leaves the striker 30 and the cavity 18, thus releasing the lever 20. In the course of the continuation of the movement, the user moves the gripping portion of the handle 4 in the direction of the arrow 12, so that the hook 16 pulls the extension 26 in the direction Y to cause the rotation of the lever 20, now free to rotate. The latter pulls the cable to transmit to the other elements of the drive train located downstream the unlocking control of the opening. Once this unlocking accomplished, the opening can be operated and opened by the user.

La poignée selon l'invention ne nécessite pas l'implantation d'une masse inertielle, qui est effectivement absente dans ce mode de réalisation.The handle according to the invention does not require the implantation of an inertial mass, which is effectively absent in this embodiment.

Bien entendu, on pourra apporter à l'invention de nombreuses modifications sans sortir du cadre de celle-ci, tel que défini par les revendications annexés.Of course, many modifications can be made to the invention without departing from the scope thereof, as defined by the appended claims.
