Description

L'invention concerne une serrure pour véhicule automobile.The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle.

Elle se rapporte plus précisément à une serrure pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile comportant un boîtier constitué d'une seule pièce en matériau plastique flexible et dans lequel est inséré le mécanisme de la serrure, ce boîtier présentant au moins une fente de passage d'un agencement de transmission du mécanisme.It relates more specifically to a lock for opening a motor vehicle comprising a housing consisting of a single piece of flexible plastic material and in which is inserted the mechanism of the lock, this housing having at least one passage slot of an arrangement transmission mechanism.

Une telle serrure est décrite dans le document de brevet GB 2 240 583 .Such a lock is described in the patent document GB 2,240,583 .

Selon ce document, des fentes éventuellement renforcées mécaniquement de surépaisseurs, sont agencées dans le boîtier pour le passage des agencements de transmission du mécanisme de la serrure, par exemple le câble d'ouverture ou de condamnation.According to this document, slits optionally mechanically reinforced with additional thicknesses, are arranged in the housing for the passage of the transmission arrangements of the lock mechanism, for example the opening or locking cable.

L'invention perfectionne l'étanchéité à l'endroit du passage d'un agencement de transmission au travers du boîtier.The invention improves sealing at the passage of a transmission arrangement through the housing.

En effet, pour résoudre ce problème d'étanchéité, il peut être envisagé de disposer un dispositif de couvercle par exemple en mousse à l'endroit du passage, afin de stopper toute entrée d'eau à l'intérieur du boîtier. Cependant, outre le fait que cette solution impose une pièce supplémentaire, son stockage et son montage, elle n'est généralement pas suffisamment efficace.Indeed, to solve this sealing problem, it may be envisaged to have a cover device for example foam at the passage, to stop any water entering the housing. However, besides the fact that this solution imposes an additional piece, its storage and its assembly, it is generally not sufficiently effective.

Pour résoudre ce problème, l'invention propose une serrure pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile comportant un boîtier constitué d'une seule pièce en matériau plastique flexible et dans lequel est inséré le mécanisme de la serrure selon une direction dite sens d'insertion, ce boîtier présentant au moins une fente de passage d'un agencement de transmission du mécanisme selon un plan dit plan de sortie, ledit boîtier et ledit agencement de transmission comporte chacun une interface d'étanchéité coopérant ensemble par translation lors de l'insertion dudit mécanisme dans le boîtier.To solve this problem, the invention proposes a lock for opening a motor vehicle comprising a housing consisting of a single piece of flexible plastic material and in which is inserted the mechanism of the lock in a direction said direction of insertion, this housing having at least one passage slot of a transmission arrangement of the mechanism in a so-called exit plane, said housing and said transmission arrangement comprises each a sealing interface cooperating together by translation during the insertion of said mechanism in the housing.

L'invention est caractérisée en ce que lesdites interfaces constituent un agencement de rail et de glissière à chicanes d'étanchéité, de direction parallèle audit sens d'insertion.The invention is characterized in that said interfaces constitute a rail and baffle slide arrangement, direction parallel to said direction of insertion.

De préférence, l'interface dudit agencement de transmission de type rail est en matière plastique rigide.Preferably, the interface of said rail-type transmission arrangement is of rigid plastics material.

Au moins l'une des interfaces de type rail ou glissière peut être pourvu de godrons saillants déformables.At least one of the rail or slide type interfaces may be provided with deformable projecting gadgets.

L'interface dudit agencement de transmission peut être portée par le mécanisme de la serrure ou par l'agencement de transmission.The interface of said transmission arrangement may be carried by the mechanism of the lock or by the transmission arrangement.

Ledit plan de sortie peut être parallèle au sens d'insertion dudit mécanisme dans ledit boîtier.Said exit plane may be parallel to the insertion direction of said mechanism in said housing.

Ledit plan de sortie peut être incliné par rapport au sens d'insertion dudit mécanisme dans ledit boîtier et en ce que l'interface dudit agencement de transmission comporte une bande flexible portant ladite interface d'étanchéité de l'agencement de transmission.Said exit plane can be inclined with respect to the insertion direction of said mechanism in said housing and in that the interface of said transmission arrangement comprises a flexible strip carrying said sealing interface of the transmission arrangement.

Dans ce cas, de préférence, ledit plan de sortie est incliné par rapport au sens d'insertion dudit mécanisme dans ledit boîtier, d'un angle inférieur à 70 degrés.In this case, preferably, said outlet plane is inclined relative to the insertion direction of said mechanism in said housing, an angle less than 70 degrees.

Ledit agencement de transmission peut être un connecteur électrique ou un câble de transmission de mouvement.The transmission arrangement may be an electrical connector or a motion transmission cable.

Comme représenté sur la figure 1, une serrure pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile conforme à l'invention comporte un boîtier 1 constitué d'une seule pièce en matériau plastique flexible, par exemple en polypropylène, et dans lequel est inséré le mécanisme 2 de la serrure selon une direction dite sens d'insertion SI, vertical selon la figure.As shown on the figure 1 , a lock for opening of a motor vehicle according to the invention comprises a housing 1 consisting of a single piece of flexible plastic material, for example polypropylene, and in which is inserted the mechanism 2 of the lock in a direction said direction d SI insertion, vertical according to the figure.

Ce boîtier 1 présente au moins une fente de passage d'un agencement de transmission du mécanisme selon un plan dit plan de sortie. Selon ce mode de réalisation, le boîtier 1 présente deux fentes de passage 3, 4 d'un agencement de transmission du mécanisme selon un plan P3, P4 dit plan de sortie. Un seul agencement de transmission 5, plus précisément un connecteur électrique, est représenté sur la figure 1.This housing 1 has at least one passage slot of a transmission arrangement of the mechanism in a plane called output plane. According to this embodiment, the housing 1 has two slots 3, 4 of a transmission arrangement of the mechanism according to a plane P3, P4 said output plane. A single transmission arrangement 5, more precisely an electrical connector, is shown on the figure 1 .

Le boîtier 1 et cet agencement de transmission 5 comporte chacun une interface d'étanchéité 6, 7 coopérant ensemble par translation lors de l'insertion du mécanisme 2 dans le boîtier 1. Ces interfaces constituent un agencement de rail et de glissière à chicanes d'étanchéité. Le plan de sortie P3 est parallèle au sens d'insertion SI du mécanisme 2 dans le boîtier 1 et les interfaces 6, 7 sont également parallèles à ce sens d'insertion SI.The housing 1 and this transmission arrangement 5 each comprises a sealing interface 6, 7 cooperating together by translation during the insertion of the mechanism 2 into the housing 1. These interfaces constitute a rail and baffle slide arrangement of seal. The output plane P3 is parallel to the insertion direction SI of the mechanism 2 in the housing 1 and the interfaces 6, 7 are also parallel to this insertion direction SI.

L'interface 7 de l'agencement de transmission 5 de type rail est en matière plastique rigide, par exemple en téréphthalate de polybutylène chargé de fibres de verre, et est portée par le mécanisme 2 de la serrure.The interface 7 of the rail-type transmission arrangement 5 is made of a rigid plastic material, for example polybutylene terephthalate loaded with glass fibers, and is carried by the mechanism 2 of the lock.

Comme illustré sur la figure 2A, lors de l'insertion du mécanisme 2, ici représenté de façon tronquée, dans le boîtier 1 selon la direction SI, l'interface 7 du mécanisme 2 de type rail est inséré dans l'interface 6 de type glissière du boîtier 1, jusqu'à butée de l'agencement de transmission 5 au fond de la fente 3 du boîtier, comme illustré sur la figure 3.As illustrated on the Figure 2A when the mechanism 2, here represented truncatedly, is inserted in the housing 1 in the direction SI, the interface 7 of the rail-type mechanism 2 is inserted into the interface 6 of the sliding type of the housing 1, to the stop of the transmission arrangement 5 at the bottom of the slot 3 of the housing, as shown in FIG. figure 3 .

Sur cette serrure est également prévu un second agencement de transmission 8, par exemple un câble d'ouverture ou de condamnation, inséré dans la seconde fente de passage 4 et visible sur la figure 2B.On this lock is also provided a second transmission arrangement 8, for example an opening or locking cable, inserted in the second passage slot 4 and visible on the Figure 2B .

Selon le même principe que précédemment, et plus précisément représenté sur la figure 2B, le boîtier 1 et cet agencement de transmission 8 comporte chacun une interface d'étanchéité coopérant ensemble par translation lors de l'insertion du mécanisme 2 dans le boîtier 1. Une interface est portée par l'agencement de transmission 8. Ces interfaces constituent un agencement de rail et de glissière à chicanes d'étanchéité. Le plan de sortie P4 est incliné par rapport au sens d'insertion SI du mécanisme dans ledit boîtier et l'interface de l'agencement de transmission 8, non visible, est portée par une bande flexible 10A, plus précisément sous la bande, qui est insérée dans la fente 4 du boîtier 1 avec coopération de type rail et glissière latéraux et parallèles au sens d'insertion SI. En fin de course lors du montage dans la fente 4, l'extrémité de la bande 10A est clippée sur le boîtier.According to the same principle as before, and more precisely represented on the Figure 2B , the housing 1 and this transmission arrangement 8 each comprises a sealing interface cooperating together by translation during the insertion of the mechanism 2 into the housing 1. An interface is carried by the transmission arrangement 8. These interfaces constitute a rail and baffle slide arrangement. The output plane P4 is inclined with respect to the insertion direction SI of the mechanism in said housing and the interface of the transmission system 8, which is not visible, is carried by a flexible strip 10A, more precisely under the strip, which is inserted in the slot 4 of the housing 1 with lateral rail and slide type cooperation and parallel to the SI insertion direction. At the end of the race when mounting in the slot 4, the end of the band 10A is clipped onto the housing.

De préférence, le plan de sortie P4 est incliné par rapport au sens d'insertion SI du mécanisme dans ledit boîtier, d'un angle inférieur à 70 degrés, afin d'éviter toute infiltration d'eau.Preferably, the outlet plane P4 is inclined relative to the insertion direction SI of the mechanism in said housing, at an angle of less than 70 degrees, to prevent any water infiltration.

La première fente 3 permet également l'installation d'un troisième agencement de transmission 11, par exemple un câble de condamnation ou d'ouverture, sur le même principe.The first slot 3 also allows the installation of a third transmission arrangement 11, for example a locking cable or opening, on the same principle.

Les figures 4A et 4B sont des vues en section de détail des interfaces d'étanchéité 6, 7, de cette serrure.The Figures 4A and 4B are views in detail section of the sealing interfaces 6, 7, of this lock.

Comme visible sur la figure 4A, l'interface 6 conformée sur le boîtier est de type glissière est de section en double C à quatre branches et l'interface 7 conformée sur l'agencement de transmission 5 est de type rail est de section en double L correspondant. Grâce à leur coopération, un maximum de chicanes est conformé lorsque les deux interfaces coopèrent et une introduction d'eau est empêché à l'intérieur du boîtier 1, quelle que soit l'inclinaison de la serrure.As visible on the Figure 4A , the interface 6 formed on the casing is of slide type is of double C section with four branches and the interface 7 shaped on the transmission arrangement 5 is of rail type is of corresponding L-section. Thanks to their cooperation, a maximum of baffles is formed when the two interfaces cooperate and a water introduction is prevented inside the housing 1, regardless of the inclination of the lock.

Comme illustré sur la figure 4B, l'interface 7 de type rail peut être pourvue de godrons saillants déformables 12, améliorant l'étanchéité. De tels godrons peuvent également être prévus sur l'interface 6 de type glissière correspondante.As illustrated on the Figure 4B , the interface 7 of the rail type may be provided with deformable protruding flutes 12, improving the seal. Such gadroons can also be provided on the interface 6 of the corresponding slide type.

Tout agencement de transmission d'un mécanisme de serrure peut être disposé sur le boîtier 1 au moyen de l'invention. Cet agencement peut être un connecteur électrique ou une connexion de câble d'ouverture ou autre. A titre d'exemple, il est également possible de prévoir des agencements de transmission inclinés en soi, par leur conformation propre, tel que le connecteur 5' illustré sur la figure 5.Any transmission arrangement of a lock mechanism may be disposed on the housing 1 by means of the invention. This arrangement can be an electrical connector or an opening cable connection or the like. By way of example, it is also possible to provide inclined transmission arrangements per se, by their own conformation, such as the connector 5 'illustrated in FIG. figure 5 .
