Description

TOIT DE VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE AVEC OUVRANT ET PANNEAU  AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE ROOF WITH OPENING AND PANEL
TRANSPARENT  TRANSPARENT
L'invention a trait au domaine de la réalisation d'un véhicule automobile avec un toit ouvrant. Plus particulièrement l'invention a trait à la réalisation d'un véhicule avec un toit ouvrant participant la rigidité du véhicule. The invention relates to the field of producing a motor vehicle with a sunroof. More particularly, the invention relates to the production of a vehicle with a sunroof participating the rigidity of the vehicle.
Il est connu que le toit d'un véhicule participe de manière non négligeable à la rigidité générale du véhicule. Il est également connu qu'il est désirable que la rigidité d'un véhicule soit maximale. Or les toits dits « ouvrants » sont réalisés en formant un ajour dans le toit dont la rigidité se voit alors sensiblement réduite. La figure 1 illustre une cassette de toit ouvrant 2 connue, avec un ouvrant 4, un panneau fixe 6, un cadre périphérique de fixation 8 en plastique ou matériau métallique, ainsi que des trous de fixation 10. La cassette de toit ouvrant est pré montée, fonctionnelle sur table, le mouvement de l'ouvrant 4 étant généralement commandé par un dispositif électromécanique (non représenté). L'ouvrant 4 et le panneau 6 ont un intérieur transparent généralement teinté, et une bordure généralement opacifiée notamment par sérigraphie afin de dissimuler des éléments de construction de la cassette. La cassette de toit 2 a en l'occurrence une surface transparente 4+6 permettant aux passagers d'avoir une visibilité vers le ciel, ainsi qu'un ouvrant 4 à la verticale des passagers avant. Ces caractéristiques confèrent à ce type de toit ouvrant de pouvoir être qualifié de « panoramique ». Une tendance de construction a été de réaliser des véhicules avec des toits ouvrants de surface de plus en plus étendue. Or, la perte de rigidité engendrée par un plus grand ajour dans la caisse de toit va à encontre de l'exigence de construction de véhicules plus rigides. La figure 2 illustre une vue du dessus d'une caisse de véhicule 12 au stade du ferrage, selon l'état de la technique. Un ajour 14 visible dans cette caisse 12 est l'emplacement dans lequel viendra se loger la cassette de toit 2 (figure 1 ). Des profilés de caisse 16 sont représentés en avant, en arrière, et sur les côtés de l'ajour ; ils sont fixés au longeron de toit droit 18 et au longeron de toit gauche 20. Lors du montage des accessoires, la cassette 2 se verra positionnée dans son logement 14, puis fixée par exemple par des vis. Le document de brevet publié FR 2 864 476 divulgue un véhicule automobile doté d'un toit ouvrant comportant au moins deux panneaux transparents superposables dont l'un au moins est monté mobile. Cette solution est intéressante en ce qu'elle offre une large ouverture vers le ciel. Elle n'est toutefois pas applicable pour la réalisation d'un toit ouvrant ne dégradant pas la rigidité du véhicule car les panneaux superposables sont complètement amovibles. It is known that the roof of a vehicle contributes significantly to the overall rigidity of the vehicle. It is also known that it is desirable that the rigidity of a vehicle is maximum. Now so-called "opening" roofs are made by forming an aperture in the roof whose rigidity is then substantially reduced. FIG. 1 illustrates a known roof-opening cassette 2, with an opening 4, a fixed panel 6, a peripheral fastening frame 8 made of plastic or metal material, as well as fixing holes 10. The sunroof cassette is pre-mounted , table-top operation, the movement of the opening 4 being generally controlled by an electromechanical device (not shown). The opening 4 and the panel 6 have a transparent interior generally tinted, and a generally opaque edge including screen printing to conceal construction elements of the cassette. The roof cassette 2 has in this case a transparent surface 4 + 6 allowing passengers to have visibility to the sky, and an opening 4 to the vertical of the front passengers. These characteristics give this type of sunroof to be qualified as "panoramic". A construction trend has been to make vehicles with increasingly large opening roofs. However, the loss of rigidity caused by a larger opening in the roof box goes against the requirement of building more rigid vehicles. Figure 2 shows a top view of a vehicle body 12 at the stage of the shoe, according to the state of the art. An openwork 14 visible in this box 12 is the location in which will be housed the roof cassette 2 (Figure 1). Box sections 16 are shown forwards, backwards, and on the sides of the opening; they are attached to the right roof spar 18 and to the left roof spar 20. When mounting the accessories, the cassette 2 will be positioned in its housing 14, and then fixed for example by screws. The published patent document FR 2 864 476 discloses a motor vehicle with a sunroof comprising at least two transparent overlap panels, at least one of which is movably mounted. This solution is interesting in that it offers a wide opening to the sky. It is however not applicable for the realization of a sunroof not degrading the rigidity of the vehicle because the stackable panels are completely removable.
Le document de brevet publié WO 01 /94141 A1 divulgue une couverture de toit de véhicule automobile en trois modules en tôle métallique ou en matériau transparent, directement montés sur le cadre de toit, deux de ces trois modules étant fixes ou démontables. Ce dispositif modulaire est intéressant pour réaliser une couverture de toit comprenant des éléments modulaires transparents ou non et ouvrants ou non. Ce concept de toit de grande simplicité de construction avec des panneaux démontables n'est toutefois pas susceptible de renforcer ou du moins conserver un minimum de rigidité du véhicule. L'invention a pour objectif de proposer une solution aux problèmes rencontrés par l'état de la technique tels que ceux mentionnés ci-avant. Plus particulièrement l'invention a pour objectif de proposer une solution de véhicule avec un toit ouvrant améliorant la rigidité en torsion du véhicule.

En particulier, la figure 3 comprend la caisse ferrée 1 12 (le pare prise est aussi représenté pour améliorer la clarté du dessin mais ne fait pas partie du ferrage), avec les profilés structurels 1 16, montés sur le longeron droit 1 18 ainsi que sur le longeron gauche 120. Le pré-montage ferré comprend aussi une traverse de toit 124 intermédiaire entre le bord avant et le bord arrière du toit, créant un ajour 1 14. La traverse intermédiaire est généralement positionnée dans le prolongement des pieds milieu du véhicule (non visibles). On voit aussi une seconde traverse intermédiaire 126 en arrière, positionnée dans le prolongement des pieds arrière du véhicule (non visibles). Cette seconde traverse crée deux ajours supplémentaires, le premier 128 en arrière de l'ajour 1 14, et le second 130 dans l'arrière du toit. In particular, FIG. 3 comprises the crate 1 12 (the cladding is also shown to improve the clarity of the drawing but does not form part of the clasp), with the structural sections 1 16, mounted on the right spar 1 18 as well as on the left spar 120. The rail pre-assembly also comprises a roof cross 124 intermediate between the front edge and the rear edge of the roof, creating an ajour 1 14. The intermediate cross is generally positioned in the extension of the middle feet of the vehicle (not visible). We also see a second intermediate cross 126 back, positioned in the extension of the rear legs of the vehicle (not visible). This second cross creates two additional openings, the first 128 behind the ajour 1 14, and the second 130 in the back of the roof.
Les autres pièces de la figure 3 illustrent la cassette 102, une couverture de toit 134 et un panneau 136, l'ensemble venant compléter la caisse ferrée 1 12 pour former le toit. La cassette 102 est munie d'un ouvrant 104 et d'un cadre de fixation en plastique ou matériau métallique 108 pourvu de trous de fixation 1 10. La cassette 102 est apte à être montée dans l'ajour 1 14 décrit ci-avant, positionnée préférentiellement depuis l'intérieur du véhicule, et fixée par exemple par des vis. Le panneau 136 est destiné à être disposé à l'arrière de la cassette 102, au-dessus de l'ajour 128, et directement collé au toit via une feuillure. La feuillure peut être une feuillure de jonction des bords de deux tôles, l'une correspondant à la peau extérieure du toit et l'autre à la doublure du toit, un bord pouvant correspondre à un longeron ou une traverse. Plus précisément, la feuillure est délimitée par la traverse 124, le longeron droit 1 18, la traverse 126 et le longeron gauche 120, le collage entre le panneau transparent 136 et la feuillure se faisant selon des bords du panneau transparent 136. Le collage du panneau sera davantage détaillé plus loin. The other parts of FIG. 3 illustrate the cassette 102, a roof covering 134 and a panel 136, the assembly completing the crate 1 12 to form the roof. The cassette 102 is provided with an opening 104 and a fastening frame made of plastic or metallic material 108 provided with fixing holes 1 10. The cassette 102 is able to be mounted in the opening 14 described above, positioned preferentially from inside the vehicle, and fixed for example by screws. The panel 136 is intended to be disposed at the rear of the cassette 102, above the opening 128, and directly glued to the roof via a rabbet. The rabbet may be a rabbet joining the edges of two sheets, one corresponding to the outer skin of the roof and the other to the roof liner, an edge may correspond to a spar or a cross. More specifically, the rabbet is delimited by the cross member 124, the right spar 1 18, the cross member 126 and the left spar 120, the bonding between the transparent panel 136 and the rabbet being along the edges of the transparent panel 136. The gluing of the panel will be further detailed further.
La figure 4 est une vue du toit 140 de la figure 3, selon le premier mode de réalisation de l'invention. La couverture de toit 134 s'étend autour de la cassette montée 102 ainsi que du panneau transparent 136, avec une portion entre les longerons 1 18 et 120 et le panneau 136. On peut voir le panneau transparent 136 disposé et fixé à l'arrière de la cassette 102. Figure 4 is a view of the roof 140 of Figure 3, according to the first embodiment of the invention. The roof cover 134 extends around the mounted cassette 102 as well as the transparent panel 136, with a portion between the longitudinal members 1 18 and 120 and the panel 136.

Les figures 6 et 7 illustrent un second mode de réalisation de l'invention. La caisse ferrée 212 et la cassette 202 sont identiques à la figure 3 (référence 1 12 et 102, respectivement). Dans ce second mode de réalisation, le panneau 236 est aussi large que le toit, de sorte qu'il n'y a pas de portion de couverture de toit métallique entre les longerons 218 et 220 et le panneau 236 ; un enjoliveur 242 vient se loger autour des bords avant et latéraux de l'ouvrant 202. La figure 6 comprend la caisse ferrée 212 (le pare prise est aussi représenté pour améliorer la clarté du dessin mais ne fait pas partie du ferrage), une cassette 202, une portion de couverture de toit 234, un panneau 236, et un enjoliveur 242, l'ensemble venant compléter le toit. La cassette 202 est munie d'un ouvrant 204 et d'un cadre de fixation en plastique ou matériau métallique 208 pourvu de trous de fixation 210. La cassette 202 est apte à être montée dans l'ajour 214, et peut être positionnée de l'extérieur du véhicule, avant l'enjoliveur 242, et fixée par exemple par des vis. Le panneau 236 est destiné à être disposé à l'arrière de la cassette 202, au-dessus de l'ajour 228, et directement collé au toit via une feuillure. La feuillure peut être une feuillure de jonction des bords de deux tôles, un bord pouvant correspondre à un longeron ou une traverse. Plus précisément, la feuillure est délimitée par la traverse 224, le longeron droit 218, la traverse 226 et le longeron gauche 220, le collage entre le panneau transparent 236 et la feuillure se faisant selon des bords du panneau transparent 236. Le collage du panneau sera davantage détaillé plus loin. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate a second embodiment of the invention. The crate 212 and the cassette 202 are identical to Figure 3 (reference 1 12 and 102, respectively). In this second embodiment, the panel 236 is as wide as the roof, so that there is no portion of metal roof covering between the longitudinal members 218 and 220 and the panel 236; an embellisher 242 is housed around the front and side edges of the opening 202. FIG. 6 comprises the crate 212 (the parking area is also shown to improve the clarity of the drawing but is not part of the shoeing), a cassette 202, a roof covering portion 234, a panel 236, and a hubcap 242. , the whole coming to complete the roof. The cassette 202 is provided with an opening 204 and a fixing frame made of plastic or metallic material 208 provided with fixing holes 210. The cassette 202 is able to be mounted in the opening 214, and can be positioned from the outside the vehicle, before the hubcap 242, and fixed for example by screws. The panel 236 is intended to be disposed at the rear of the cassette 202, above the aperture 228, and directly adhered to the roof via a rabbet. The rabbet may be a rabbet joining the edges of two sheets, an edge may correspond to a spar or a cross. More specifically, the rabbet is delimited by the cross member 224, the right spar 218, the cross member 226 and the left spar 220, the bonding between the transparent panel 236 and the rabbet being along the edges of the transparent panel 236. The gluing of the panel will be further detailed below.
La figure 7 est une vue du toit 240 de la figure 6, selon le second mode de réalisation de l'invention. On voit la couverture de toit métallique 234 en arrière du panneau transparent 236, lui-même en arrière de l'ouvrant 204. L'enjoliveur 242 vient compléter le toit sur les deux côtés latéraux ainsi que sur l'avant de l'ouvrant 204 de la cassette, le bord arrière de l'ouvrant 204 jouxtant le bord avant du panneau transparent 236, et ce directement après un dispositif d'étanchéité identique à celui décrit en rapport avec la figure 5. Figure 7 is a view of the roof 240 of Figure 6, according to the second embodiment of the invention. We see the metal roof cover 234 behind the transparent panel 236, itself behind the opening 204. The hubcap 242 completes the roof on both sides and on the front of the opening 204 of the cassette, the rear edge of the opening 204 adjacent the front edge of the transparent panel 236, and directly after a sealing device identical to that described in connection with FIG.
Les figures 8 et 9 illustrent un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention. La caisse ferrée 312 est différente de celle représentée aux figures 3 et 6, en ce qu'elle ne comprend pas de traverse intermédiaire vers l'arrière (référence 126 de la figure 3, référence 226 de la figure 6) et en ce qui concerne l'étendue du panneau transparent 336. Dans ce troisième mode de réalisation, le panneau 336 s'étend depuis l'ouvrant 304 longitudinalement jusqu'à l'extrémité arrière du toit et transversalement vers les côtés gauche et droit du toit. Il n'y a donc aucune portion de couverture de toit métallique visible. Un enjoliveur 342 vient se loger autour des bords avant et latéraux de l'ouvrant 302, de manière identique au second mode de réalisation (références 242 et 202, respectivement, des figures 6 et 7). Ce troisième mode de réalisation est particulièrement intéressant pour la rigidité du véhicule dans une configuration où le panneau est réalisé dans un matériau plus rigide encore qu'une couverture de toit classique. Figures 8 and 9 illustrate a third embodiment of the invention. The crate 312 is different from that shown in Figures 3 and 6, in that it does not include a rear crossmember (reference 126 of Figure 3, reference 226 of Figure 6) and in respect of the extent of the transparent panel 336. In this third embodiment, the panel 336 extends from the opening 304 longitudinally to the rear end of the roof and transversely to the left and right sides of the roof. There is therefore no visible portion of metal roof covering. An embellisher 342 is housed around the front and side edges of the opening 302, in a manner identical to the second embodiment (references 242 and 202, respectively, of Figures 6 and 7). This third embodiment is particularly interesting for the rigidity of the vehicle in a configuration where the panel is made of a material even more rigid than a conventional roof covering.
La figure 8 comprend la caisse ferrée 312 (le pare prise est aussi représenté pour améliorer la clarté du dessin mais ne fait pas partie du ferrage) avec les profilés structurels 316, montés sur le longeron droit 318 ainsi que sur le longeron gauche 320. Le pré montage ferré comprend aussi une traverse de toit 324 intermédiaire entre le bord avant et le bord arrière du toit, créant un ajour 314. La traverse intermédiaire est généralement positionnée dans le prolongement des pieds milieu du véhicule (non visibles). En l'absence dans cette configuration d'une seconde traverse intermédiaire, un ajour 328 s'étend jusqu'à l'arrière du toit 340. FIG. 8 comprises the crate 312 (the parking area is also shown to improve the clarity of the drawing but is not part of the shoeing) with the structural sections 316, mounted on the right spar 318 and on the left spar 320. rail pre-assembly also includes a roof cross member 324 intermediate the front edge and the rear edge of the roof, creating an aperture 314. The intermediate rail is generally positioned in the extension of the vehicle's middle feet (not visible). In the absence in this configuration of a second intermediate cross, an opening 328 extends to the rear of the roof 340.
Les autres pièces de la figure 8 illustrent la cassette 302, un panneau 336, et un enjoliveur 342, l'ensemble venant compléter la caisse ferrée 312 pour former le toit. La cassette 302 est munie d'un ouvrant 304 et d'un cadre de fixation en plastique ou matériau métallique 308 pourvu de trous de fixation 310. La cassette 302 est apte à être montée dans l'ajour 314 décrit ci-avant, positionnée préférentiellement depuis l'intérieur du véhicule, et fixée par exemple par des vis. Le panneau 336 est destiné à être disposé à l'arrière de la cassette 302, au-dessus de l'ajour 328, et directement collé au toit via une feuillure. La feuillure peut être une feuillure de jonction des bords de deux tôles, un bord pouvant correspondre à un longeron ou une traverse. Plus précisément, la feuillure est délimitée par la traverse 324, le longeron droit 318, le longeron gauche 320, et une traverse arrière de caisse (non représentée), le collage entre le panneau transparent 336 et la feuillure se faisant selon des bords du panneau transparent 336. Le collage du panneau sera davantage détaillé plus loin. The other parts of Figure 8 illustrate the cassette 302, a panel 336, and a hubcap 342, the assembly that completes the crate 312 to form the roof. The cassette 302 is provided with an opening 304 and a fixing frame made of plastic or metal material 308 provided with fixing holes 310. The cassette 302 is able to be mounted in the aperture 314 described above, preferably positioned from inside the vehicle, and fixed for example by screws. The panel 336 is intended to be disposed at the rear of the cassette 302, above the aperture 328, and directly adhered to the roof via a rabbet. The rabbet may be a rabbet joining the edges of two sheets, an edge may correspond to a spar or a cross. More specifically, the rabbet is delimited by the cross member 324, the right spar 318, the left spar 320, and a rear body cross member (not shown), the bonding between the transparent panel 336 and the rabbet being along the edges of the panel transparent 336. The collage of the panel will be further detailed below.
La figure 9 est une vue partielle du véhicule entièrement monté avec son toit 340 dans un troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention. On voit le panneau transparent 336 s'étendant vers l'arrière du véhicule en arrière de l'ouvrant 304. L'enjoliveur 342 vient compléter le toit sur les deux côtés latéraux ainsi que sur l'avant de l'ouvrant 304 de la cassette 302, le bord arrière de l'ouvrant 304 jouxtant le bord avant du panneau transparent 336, directement après un dispositif d'étanchéité identique à celui de la figure 5. Figure 9 is a partial view of the vehicle fully mounted with its roof 340 in a third embodiment of the invention. We see the transparent panel 336 extending towards the rear of the vehicle behind the opening 304. The hubcap 342 completes the roof on both sides and on the front of the opening 304 of the cassette 302, the rear edge of the opening 304 adjacent the front edge of the transparent panel 336, directly after a sealing device identical to that of FIG. 5.
L'illustration en coupe de la figure 5 est aussi représentative des second et troisième mode de réalisation de l'invention. Pour ces deux modes de réalisation, on peut voir la liaison du bord avant du panneau transparent (236, 336) avec le toit, un cordon de collage (238, 338) appliqué entre le panneau transparent (236, 336) et la traverse (224, 324). La colle employée peut être structurale et de module d'Elasticité au moins supérieur à 200 MPa et/ou de résistance au cisaillement au moins supérieure à 10MPa.
