Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lock for an opening of a motor vehicle, in particular for a door, a tailgate, a tailgate bezel or a trunk of a motor vehicle.
  • the retention portion of conventional locks generally comprises a metal counterplate, also called outer plate, and a plate, also called inner plate, the against-plate being in abutment against the sheet metal of the opening of the motor vehicle.
  • the pawl pin is held pivotally by the plate and against the plate, which ensure its holding and its pivoting guide.
  • the locking of the lock is performed either by the plate or by the plate against.
  • the fixing of the lock is performed by the plate, it has tapped holes aligned with corresponding holes of the plate against, the number and position of the threads of the plate being imposed by the manufacturer.
  • the mounting of the lock to the vehicle thus allows at the same time to fix the plate together with the plate against.
  • a lock according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the document FR 2,852,347 .
  • the plate To position all fixing points imposed by the manufacturer, the plate must have a large surface, of the order of that of the plate against.
  • the use of large and complex metal parts penalize the lock product by increasing its cost and weight, these being mainly determined by the mass of metallic material present in the lock.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to remedy these problems by proposing a lock whose mass and cost are reduced, while satisfying the performance of mechanical strength.
  • the fastening of the lock in the edge of the opening is thus achieved by the backplate.
  • the lock no longer comprises platinum as in the prior art but a guide element whose main role is limited to guiding the rotation of the pawl axis and the mechanical strength of the lock.
  • the guide element no longer takes the attachment points of the counterplate of the state of the art but uses the reinforcing pillar to ensure its mechanical strength relative to the counterplate.
  • the lock without platinum is lightened and its cost is reduced.
  • the reinforcing pillar makes it possible to compensate for the fact that, in the case of a tree pawl, the pawl pin is pivotally mounted.
  • This solution also has the advantage that the interfaces of the motor vehicle, such as the number and positioning of attachment points to the opening of the motor vehicle, or such as the connection to the actuating parts of the various operating kinematics of the lock, can be kept without modifications.
  • the lock is thus slightly modified, which allows the use of standard elements of the lock.
  • a notch of the bolt intended to cooperate with the retaining end of the pawl is housed under the guide element in the closed position.
  • the guide element is received in a housing of the lock.
  • the interest that the guide element is received in the housing of the lock is that the housing then forms a cover covering the retention part. This arrangement makes it possible to better manage the tightness of the lock by reducing the risks of migration of water or dust towards the kinematic part.
  • a reinforcing pillar is a reinforcing pin separate from the guide element, fixed to the counterplate and to the guide element.
  • the fixing of the reinforcing pin to the guide element is carried out by deformation of material or by welding.
  • a reinforcing pillar is a reinforcing tab, formed in one piece with the guide element and whose end is fixed to the counterplate.
  • At least one reinforcing pillar is arranged next to the pawl axis.
  • the shortest distance between a tangent to the guide hole of the pawl axis and the reinforcing pillar is between 0.5 and 10 millimeters. This brings the reinforcing pillar as close as possible to the pawl axis while limiting the risks of parasitic friction with the moving parts taking into account their tolerances and also avoiding possible blockages of the moving parts in case of freezing by retention in the interstice.
  • the shortest distance between a tangent to the guide hole of the pawl axis and at least one reinforcing pillar is greater than 10 millimeters and is less than 25 millimeters.
  • the reinforcing pillar can then be arranged further, for example out of a deflection zone of the actuating wing of the false ratchet.

  • the metal counterplate 3 comprises fastening means for fastening the lock to an opening of a motor vehicle by screwing, such as three fastening orifices 8 surrounded by a threaded collar extending on the side of the opening.
  • the retention compartment houses the retention elements of the lock, such as a bolt 5 and a pawl 6 ( figure 4 ).
  • the bolt 5 has the general shape of a fork defining a notch 5a which in the closed position of the lock receives and retains a striker (not shown) attached to the body of a motor vehicle, in the edge of the opening.
  • the bolt 5 is rotatably mounted on a bolt axis 7 of the lock fixed to the counter plate 3.
  • the bolt axis 7 has a radial shoulder 7a for holding the bolt 5 ( figure 2 ).
  • An elastic return means of the bolt 5 (not shown), such as a torsion spring, is received above the radial shoulder 7a.
  • the pawl 6 is called “ratchet” because it comprises a pawl axis 10 and a retaining end 11 integral in rotation, obtained for example from two separate parts which have been joined or directly formed in one piece ( figure 4 ).

  • the reinforcing pillar makes it possible to compensate for the fact that, in the case of a tree pawl 6, the pawl axis 10 does not participate in the mechanical connection with the counterplate 3, since it is pivotally mounted.
  • This solution also has the advantage that the interfaces of the motor vehicle, such as the number and positioning of attachment points to the opening of the motor vehicle, or such as the connection to the actuating parts of the various operating kinematics of the lock, can be kept without modifications.
  • the lock 1 is thus slightly modified, which allows the use of standard elements of the lock.
  • a notch of the bolt 5 intended to cooperate with the retaining end 11 of the pawl 6 is housed under the plate 9 of the guide member 41 in the closed position.
