Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lock for an opening of a motor vehicle.
  • a lock of a motor vehicle is intended to be mounted on an opening of a motor vehicle and typically comprises a bolt for pivoting around a striker fixed to the structure of the motor vehicle to ensure the closing of the opening.
  • the opening of the opening is performed by a rotation of the bolt in the opposite direction.
  • the rotation in the opposite direction called “opening direction of the leaf”
  • the inertial force exerted on the opening can exert sufficient traction force on the control means and act on the opening lever to control the opening of the lock and thus the release of the door. 'opening.
  • the lock lock can be achieved by an external obstacle causing deformation, following a temporary or permanent inertial movement, with a possibility of return to the state before shock in the latter case.
  • Blocking by external obstacle is typically achieved by a system that intervenes by deformation of the door. If a deformation is greater than a threshold value, then there is an external obstacle that blocks the movement of the opening chain.
  • the locking instruction typically comes from deformation of the vehicle sheet.
  • the deformation of this sheet will come to position an obstacle belonging either to the lock or the sheet metal, opposite the opening lever outside.
  • the lever intervenes directly in the opening of the lock, the latter can not be done.
  • a spring-loaded shim is typically attached to the outer opening lever. Inertial force moves said shim to the side during movement of said lever. A chute receives the hold and prevents it from going back down while the outside opening lever is activated. The external opening lever can not be activated, there is no opening. In these designs, it is possible to reset after the occurrence of the shock. The shim returning to its initial position when returning to the rest position of the opening lever.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a lock for a motor vehicle that allows to prohibit the outer or inner opening under the effect of an inertial force, whether single or multiple, applied to the lock during a car accident, while allowing, once the inertial force back to zero, the reopening of the lock without the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the lock of the present invention thus provides an effective locking of the door according to the inertial force experienced by the lock through the acceleration experienced by the opening lever.
  • the opening of the lock of the invention is avoided for a movement of the opening lever following a side impact beyond a predefined threshold.
  • Such a locking system is advantageously independent of the geometry of the door, does not generate stress on the kinematic chain, does not require delicate adjustment and is independent of geometric constraints.
  • the invention also relates to a motor vehicle having an opening and a lock for opening and closing said opening.
  • the lock of the invention comprises two types of opening lever: an intermediate opening lever and an external opening lever.
  • the outer opening lever is connected via a cable, such as the Bowden cable, or a rod to the outer handle and the intermediate opening lever is connected via other kinematic elements of the motor vehicle located inside said vehicle, such as the interior handles.
  • the lock of the invention 1 is adapted to open any type of opening of a motor vehicle, in particular a side door 2.
  • FIG. 1 On this figure 1 is illustrated an example of side impact in a direction 3 substantially perpendicular to the main axis 4 of the motor vehicle 5.
  • the shock may be generated by any kind of element, here is shown a motor vehicle 6.
  • Such a shock acts on the handle in the direction of the opening of the latter in an oscillating movement comprising one or more phases in which the rod or cable are pulled thereby causing the opening of the lock 1.
  • the locking means 21 is triggered according to the inertial force felt by the opening lever 15 which is proportional to the acceleration experienced by the cam 17.
  • the trigger is controlled by the threshold value predetermined.
  • Said threshold value may be determined by the stiffness of the elastic return means 23 and the mass of the cams 17.
  • the opening lever 15 is connected to the outer handle of the leaf 2 actuated by a user via the control means 13, for example a rod or, as here, a cable, called “Bowden cable”.
  • the control means 13 is movable between a rest position corresponding to the position where no action is exerted on said control means 13 and an active opening position of the opening corresponding to the position where the outer handle of the 2 is pulled by a user generating traction on said control means 13, including the cable, causing the opening of the lock 1 of the invention.
  • the opening lever 15 comprises a cam 17 rotatable about an axis of rotation 18, when traction is exerted on the control means 13.
  • the cam 17 is fixed to said control means 13 at a fastening zone 19 so as to be rotated during the movement of the means of control 13.
  • the attachment zone 19 may be an extended zone or a point zone. According to the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the attachment zone 19 is located on a protrusion 24 of the cam.
  • control means 13 is inserted into a housing 26 passing through the protrusion 24.
  • the end 27 thus inserted into the protrusion 24 leaves the housing 26 along an axis substantially co-linear with the rotation axis 18 of the cam.
  • the cam 17 via the attachment zone 19 is rotated along its axis of rotation 18.
  • the cam 17 also comprises a cam profile 25 configured to bring the locking means 21 from the rest position to the active locking position when the cam 17 pivots about its axis of rotation 18 toward the opening direction of the cam. opening 2.
  • the cam profile 25 may comprise a slope break in order to allow the blocking position to pass to the rest position of the blocking means.
  • slope break means a cam profile having a surface with at least two planes forming a non-zero angle.
  • the cam profile 25 has a substantially concave shape with respect to the center of the cam 17.
  • the cam 17 may also include a recess 31 adapted to receive a portion 33 of the locking means.
  • the recess 33 may be formed in continuity with the cam profile 25 which simplifies the manufacture of the lock of the invention.
  • the locking means 21 is disposed near the attachment zone 19 of the control means, said locking means 21 being configured to take an active locking position in which said locking means 21 blocks said cam 17 and a position of rest in which said locking means 21 is in contact with the cam 17 and allows the movement of said cam 17.
  • the locking means 21 can be rotatable about an axis of rotation 38 substantially collinear with the axis of rotation 18 of drug.
  • the blocking means 21 may comprise a protrusion 41 configured to follow the cam profile 25 when the locking means 21 is the rest position and at the beginning of the transition from the rest position to the active locking position under the effect of an acceleration experienced by the opening lever 15 greater than the predetermined threshold value.
  • the protrusion 41 may advantageously be elastic so as to better follow the contour of the cam profile 25 in the rest position and at the beginning of the transition from the rest position to the active locking position.
  • the locking means may be made integrally or not.
  • the protrusion can be made of material with the locking means or attached to the latter.
  • the locking means 21 is made of a suitable material, such as plastics, steel or zamak®.
  • the locking means 21 is associated with the elastic return means 23 configured to put said locking means 21 in abutment on the cam profile 17 in order to guarantee permanent contact between the locking means and the cam 11 in the rest position.
  • the elastic return means 23 may be a torsion spring, in particular a spiral spring whose axis of rotation is substantially coincident with the axis of rotation 38 of the locking means or may be substantially offset with respect to said axis 38.
  • the spiral spring may comprise a first end 23a fixed to a fixed element 61 of the lock and a second end 23b fixed to the locking means 21 so as to cause the locking means to bear on the cam profile 25.
  • the end 23b can pass through a cavity formed in or against the surface of the locking means 21.
  • the fixed structure of the lock 1 of the invention may comprise a resilient stop 51 configured to receive a portion 53 of the locking means in the locking position. The elastic stop then makes it possible to hold the locking means in the locked position.
  • Said elastic stop 51 is configured to deform in order to allow the return of the locking means 21 from the locking position to the rest position.
  • the stress applied on said stop 51 must be greater than a predefined threshold value. Said stress may correspond to a traction force exerted on the control means 13.
  • the elastic stop 51 is configured so as not to hinder the displacement of the cam 17 and the locking means 21 in the rest position and in the locked position of the cam 11.
  • the elastic abutment is made of a suitable flexible material, such as plastics, especially an acetal resin, a polyamide.
  • the locking means can be locked in the locking position directly by a member of the cam which can lock the locking means in the locking position and can deform elastically when the cam pivots about its axis in the opening direction of the opening to release the locking means to the rest position.
  • the locking means 12 In the rest position, the locking means 12 is in permanent contact with the cam so that the rotation of the cam in the opening direction of the leaf compresses the elastic return means without breaking the contact between the cam 17 and the locking means 21. This makes it possible to put in slight movement the locking means in the rest position so as to prevent seizing of the elastic return means and the locking means if the locking position is not activated during a great period of time.
  • the locking means 21 and the control means 13 are both in the rest position. In this position and in the absence of lateral impact, the protrusion 41 of the blocking means is in constant abutment on the cam profile 25 by means of resilient return means 23.
  • the locking means 21 When the traction is exerted on the control means 13 below a threshold value, corresponding to a normal traction of a user, the locking means 21 remains in permanent contact on the cam by the protrusion 41 which follows the cam profile 25 and by the elastic return means 23.
  • the protrusion 41 follows more rapidly the cam profile 25 so that when the protrusion 41 reaches the level of the slope break of the cam profile 25, the protrusion 41 ceases to be in contact with the surface of the cam 17.
  • the resilient return means 23 has insufficient stiffness to bring the locking means 21 in contact on the cam 11. Due to the acceleration experienced by the locking means 21 during this rotation, the latter ends its rotation about its axis of rotation 38 and the portion 33 of the locking means comes to lodge in the recess 31 of the cam 11 (see figure 3d ).
  • the locking means 21 can not then return to its rest position due to the elastic stop 51 which blocks said locking means 21 in the locking position.
  • the shock suffered by the opening 2 induces oscillations tending to pivot cam 11 in the opening direction of the opening 2, the latter typically have a lower intensity than the stiffness of the elastic abutment 51, so that the elastic stop does not deform and the rotation of the cam 17 remains blocked by the blocking means.
  • the resilient return means 23 recalls the locking means 21 towards the rest position, resting on the cam profile 25.
  • the lock of the invention has a locking means actuated by the traction speed of the control means, here the Bowden cable, while having a phase in which the flight of the locking means is triggered towards its blocking position under the impulse of an inertial effort.
  • the invention there is a blocking principle, which prevents opening by locking the opening lever, a principle of restoring the rest position and the principle of torsion or moment to avoid seizure.
