Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the assembly of motor vehicles, in particular the mounting of the doors on the chassis of the vehicle.
- a hinge for a motor vehicle door comprising, on the one hand, a fixed element comprising means for fixing to a chassis of the motor vehicle, and, on the other hand, a movable element comprising fixing means on the door, the fixed and movable elements being rotatably mounted relative to each other by means of a hinge pin, between a closed position and an open position of the door.
- a motor vehicle door provided with a hinge as mentioned above can be opened and closed by rotation of the movable element relative to the fixed element.
- a passenger of the motor vehicle may have difficulty closing the door properly.
- a regular passenger can then make the habit of slamming firmly, even violently, the door of the motor vehicle to ensure its proper closure. This can damage the door and its various components.
- the present invention provides a hinge for a motor vehicle door provided with a device for assisting the closing of said door.
- a hinge as defined in the introduction, in which there is provided means for recall adapted to store a portion of the developed energy to tilt said movable member relative to said fixed member from the closed position of the door to its open position, and to restore at least a portion of the stored energy during the return of the door to its closed position.
- the "breakdown" of the door by the passenger is limited and controlled, so that the door does not deteriorate over time.
- said hinge return means comprise: a cam associated with one of its fixed and movable elements; an elastically deformable stop fixed to the other of said fixed and movable elements, and
- this arm which is mounted mobile with respect to said other fixed or movable element, this arm having, on the one hand, a compression part of said stop and, on the other hand, a guiding part adapted to cooperate with said cam, such that said compression portion is adapted to compress said stopper upon rotation of said movable member relative to said fixed member from the closed position to the open position.
- the elastically deformable stop is compressed by the compression part of the arm which allows it to store elastic energy. This energy is then restored when closing the door, which ensures a proper closure thereof, without special effort.
- said cam is part of said movable element
- said cam is formed with said movable member; said cam is attached to said movable member;
- said arm is rotatably mounted on said fixed member by means of an axis of articulation parallel to said hinge axis;
- said cam has a first ramp of non-circular profile and a second ramp of circular profile in the extension of said first ramp;
- said guide portion comprises a roller rotatably mounted relative to said arm by means of a roller axis parallel to said axis hinge;
- said stopper is formed of a plastics material
- said plastic material is polyurethane.
- the invention also proposes a motor vehicle door comprising a door leaf and at least one hinge according to the invention, wherein said means for fixing the movable element are fixed to said door leaf.
- the invention finally proposes a motor vehicle comprising a frame and at least one such door, wherein said fixing means of the fixed element of the hinge are fixed on said frame.

- the fixed elements 1 10 and mobile 120 are rotatably mounted relative to each other by means of this hinge axis 101.
- the fixed element 1 10 being fixed to the chassis of the motor vehicle and the movable element 120 being fixed to the door of said motor vehicle, the rotation of the movable member 120 allows the actuation of the door relative to the frame, between a closed position and an open position of the door, this open position corresponding to the position where the door of the motor vehicle is open at its maximum.
- return means adapted to store a part of the developed energy to tilt the movable element 1 10 relative to the fixed element 1 10 from the closed position of the door to its opening position, and to restore at least a portion of the energy stored during the return of the door to its closed position.
- these recall means include:
- the abutment 130 here comprises (see FIG. 7) a cylindrical pin 131 of revolution surmounted by a fixing lug 132, here also cylindrical and coaxial with the stud 131, situated on one of the flat faces of the stud 131.
- This lug 132 has a diameter and a length adjusted to fit forcibly in an insertion hole 1 12 disposed on the part 1 15 square of the fixed element 1 10 of the hinge 100 (see Figure 5) of so that the stop 130 is fixed to this fixed element 1 10.
- the abutment 130 and more particularly the cylindrical stud 131, is preferably formed of a plastic material capable of being deformed elastically under stress.
- this plastic material is polyurethane.
- the plastic material forming the abutment of the hinge could be elastomeric polyurethane.
- the arm 140 of the hinge 100 comprises a body 145, in the form of a channel-shaped channel of variable size, with two opposite edges 146.
- the body 145 of the arm 140 is preferably formed of a rigid metal part made by stamping or forming.
- the two edges opposite 146 extend perpendicularly to the body 145 to define two wings 147, these wings 147 each having an opening 148 rolling.
- one of the two opposite edges 146 deviates from the other of the two opposite edges 146 so that the groove forming the body 145 of the arm 140 widens to a second end 145B of the body 145.
- the two opposite edges 146 have at this second end 145B two coaxial hinge openings 144.
- the two opposite edges 146 of the body 145 are adapted to lock into the fixed element 1 10 of the hinge 100, so that the hinge openings 144 of the opposite edges 146 are each in position. view of an opening 1 14 of corresponding hinge located on the curved edges 1 16A of the portion 1 16 square of the fixed element 1 10.
- hinge pin 102 (see Figure 6 for example) engaging through the openings 14, 144 of articulation so as to hold together the arm 140 and the fixed element 1 10.
- Circlips allow to maintain this axis of articulation 102 through these openings 1 14, 144 of articulation.
- the arm 140 is mounted on the fixed element 1 to be rotatable relative thereto.
- the arm 140 comprises a cylindrical and hollow roller 142 mounted on the body 145 by means of a roller axis 143 parallel to the hinge axis 102 and to the hinge axis 101, this roller axis 143 being integral with the roller 142 and passing through it in its central portion.
- roller shaft 143 The ends of the roller shaft 143 are inserted into the rolling openings 148 of the wings 147 of the arm 140 so that the roller 142 is rotatable relative to the body 145.
- the roller 142 may be made of a metallic material or a plastic material.
- the arm 140 also has a bearing surface 141, opposite the roller 142 with respect to the body 145, intended when the arm 140 is mounted on the fixed element 1 10 of the hinge 100 to be opposite the stop 130.
- the length of the wings 147 of the arm 140 and the outside diameter of the roller 142 are adjusted so that, when the arm 140 is mounted on the fixed element 1 10 connected to the movable member 120 of the hinge 100, the roller 142 comes into contact with the cam 122.
- the cam 122 is formed with the movable member 120 of the hinge 100.
- Such a cam 122 may for example be made by stamping.
- This cam 122 forms the base that extends (see Figure 4A) between the two branches 125 of the central portion 124 of the movable member 1 10.
- the cam 122 forms a generally rounded wall around the hinge axis 101.
- this cam 122 has two parts 122A, 122B of different profiles: a first portion corresponding to a first ramp 122A of the cam 122, and a second portion corresponding to a second ramp 122B of the cam 122, this second ramp 122B coming in the extension of the first ramp 122A of the cam 122.
- the first ramp 122A has a non-circular profile and the second ramp 122B has a circular profile.
- the first ramp 122A of the cam 122 is such that the distance from a point of the first ramp 122A to the hinge axis 101 increases towards the second ramp 122B.
- the profile of this first ramp 122A is preferably conical (here parabolic).
- the second ramp 122B of the cam 122 is such that the distance from one point of the second ramp 122B to the hinge axis 101 remains constant.
- FIGS. 1 to 3 In order to understand the advantages of this hinge 100, the operation thereof will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, in which :
- Figure 1 corresponds to a configuration of the hinge 100 when the door of the motor vehicle is in a closed position
- Figure 2 corresponds to a configuration of the hinge 100 when the door of the motor vehicle is in an intermediate position between the closed position and opening of the door;
- Figure 3 corresponds to a configuration of the hinge 100 when the door of the motor vehicle is in an open position.
- the hinge 100 is such that:
- the bearing surface 141 of the arm 140 is in contact with the stud 131 of the abutment 130 fixed to the fixed element 1 10 of the hinge 100, and
- roller 142 of the arm 140 is in contact with the cam 122 of the movable member 120 of the hinge 120, and more precisely of its first ramp 122A conical profile.
- the movable member 120 When opening the door, the movable member 120 will pivot about the hinge axis 101 relative to the fixed member 1 10, causing in its movement, the rotation of the cam 122 on which the roller rests 142.
- the arm 140 guided by the roller 142 rolling on the first ramp 122A, will in turn pivot about the hinge axis 102 so that the surface support 141 of the arm 140 will come into contact and then compress the stop 130 which is deformed elastically under the action of the force exerted by the bearing surface 141.
- the hinge 100 is then in the configuration of Figure 2, the door of the motor vehicle being in its intermediate position.
- the roller 142 being then guided on the second ramp 122B of the cam 122 which has a circular profile, the arm 140 is no longer rotated about the hinge axis 102 to compress the stop 130.
- cam is associated with the fixed element, the abutment and the arm then being secured to the movable element.
- the cam 122 may be attached to the mobile element 120, for example by welding, or by snapping.
