Description

La présente invention concerne un verrou pour véhicule automobile, ainsi qu'un véhicule automobile comprenant un verrou selon l'invention et un procédé de montage associé.The present invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle, as well as a motor vehicle comprising a lock according to the invention and an associated mounting method.

Un verrou pour véhicule automobile comprend un côté avant configuré pour l'introduction d'une clé de déverrouillage, et un côté arrière configuré pour coopérer avec un organe de déverrouillage. Ce type de verrou comprend généralement un stator et un rotor inséré dans le stator de sorte à être mobile en rotation.A lock for a motor vehicle comprises a front side configured for the introduction of an unlocking key, and a rear side configured to cooperate with an unlocking member. This type of lock generally comprises a stator and a rotor inserted in the stator so as to be movable in rotation.

Selon l'art antérieur, il a été proposé un verrou dans lequel le rotor est inséré par l'avant du stator, c'est-à-dire par la partie du stator située au niveau du côté avant du verrou, et fixé à l'arrière du stator, c'est-à-dire au niveau du côté arrière du verrou, au moyen d'un circlip.According to the prior art, a lock has been proposed in which the rotor is inserted by the front of the stator, that is to say by the part of the stator located at the front side of the lock, and fixed to the 'rear of the stator, that is to say at the rear side of the lock, by means of a circlip.

Ce type de verrou selon l'art antérieur présente l'inconvénient d'avoir une mauvaise tenue à l'arrachement, à savoir une extraction du rotor dans un sens opposé à son insertion dans le stator, en vue de forcer le verrou. La tenue à l'arrachement de ce type de verrou dépend de la solidité de la fixation du circlip.This type of lock according to the prior art has the drawback of having poor resistance to tearing, namely extraction of the rotor in a direction opposite to its insertion into the stator, in order to force the lock. The resistance to tearing of this type of lock depends on the solidity of the retaining ring.

En outre, ce type de verrou nécessite une pièce de fixation, à savoir le circlip. Cette pièce de fixation augmente les coûts de montage, ainsi que les temps de montage, de plus lors du montage, l'opérateur peut la perdre.In addition, this type of lock requires a fixing part, namely the circlip. This fastener increases the assembly costs, as well as the assembly times, moreover during the assembly, the operator can lose it.

Il a également été proposé un verrou dans lequel le stator est en deux pièces montées axialement autour du rotor, et les deux hémi-stators sont fixés ensemble par des goupilles.A lock has also been proposed in which the stator is in two parts mounted axially around the rotor, and the two semi-stators are fixed together by pins.

Ce type de verrou présente l'inconvénient de nécessiter plusieurs pièces supplémentaires, à savoir un hémi-stator, et deux goupilles. Ces pièces supplémentaires augmentent les coûts de montage, ainsi que les temps de montage.This type of lock has the disadvantage of requiring several additional parts, namely a hemi-stator, and two pins. These additional parts increase assembly costs, as well as assembly times.

Il a en outre été proposé un verrou dans lequel le stator est en deux pièces montées radialement autour du rotor, et les deux hémi-stators sont fixé ensemble de préférence par un système dit de « type fourchette ».A lock has also been proposed in which the stator is in two parts mounted radially around the rotor, and the two hemi-stators are preferably fixed together by a system called "fork type".

Ce type de verrou présente l'inconvénient d'avoir une mauvaise tenue à l'écartement, à savoir des déplacements radiaux du rotor de sorte à séparer les hémi-stators, en vue de forcer le verrou. Le renforcement de la tenue à l'écartement est réalisé par la fixation de type fourchette qui est complexe et augmente les coûts de montage. En outre, le deuxième hémi-stator est une pièce supplémentaire qui augmente davantage les coûts de montage.This type of lock has the disadvantage of having poor resistance to spacing, namely radial movements of the rotor so as to separate the hemi-stators, in order to force the lock. The reinforcement of the spacing resistance is achieved by the fork type fixing which is complex and increases the assembly costs. In addition, the second half-stator is an additional part which further increases the assembly costs.

dans lequel les positions angulaires fermées, comprennent une position de repos dans laquelle le rotor n'actionne pas l'organe de déverrouillage, et au moins une position active dans laquelle le rotor actionne l'organe de déverrouillage,

in which the closed angular positions include a rest position in which the rotor does not actuate the unlocking member, and at least one active position in which the rotor actuates the unlocking member,
the lock further comprising a locking means for blocking the rotation of the rotor in the direction of the open angular position.

L'invention se rapporte à un verrou pour véhicule automobile. Le verrou peut être monté sur un dispositif de démarrage, sur un ouvrant tel qu'une portière ou un coffre, sur un réservoir de carburant, ou sur une boite à gant du véhicule automobile. En particulier, les figures 1 et 2 représentent des vues éclatées d'un tel verrou selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention.The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle. The lock can be mounted on a starting device, on an opening such as a door or a trunk, on a fuel tank, or on a glove box of the motor vehicle. In particular, Figures 1 and 2 represent exploded views of such a lock according to an embodiment of the invention.

Le verrou comprend un stator 1 et un rotor 2 logé dans un logement 12 du stator 1, notamment visible sur la figure 2. Le rotor 2 est monté mobile en rotation dans le stator 1. La rotation du rotor 2 permet d'actionner un organe de déverrouillage.The lock comprises a stator 1 and a rotor 2 housed in a housing 12 of the stator 1, in particular visible on the figure 2 . The rotor 2 is mounted mobile in rotation in the stator 1. The rotation of the rotor 2 makes it possible to actuate an unlocking member.

Le stator comprend un premier moyen de montage 11 et le rotor 2 comprend un deuxième moyen de montage 21, 22 destiné à coopérer avec le premier moyen de montage 11.The stator comprises a first mounting means 11 and the rotor 2 comprises a second mounting means 21, 22 intended to cooperate with the first mounting means 11.

Par exemple, comme représenté sur la figure 2, le premier moyen de montage 11 comprend une protubérance s'étendant depuis une paroi interne du stator 1 en direction du logement 12 du stator 1. Autrement dit, le premier moyen de montage 11 comprend une protubérance s'étendant depuis le stator 1 en direction du rotor 2, lorsque ce dernier est reçu dans le logement 12 du stator 1. Plus précisément, la protubérance du premier moyen de montage 11 s'étend radialement puis une paroi interne du stator 1 en direction du logement 12 du stator 1 destiné à recevoir le rotor 2.For example, as shown in the figure 2 , the first mounting means 11 comprises a protrusion extending from an internal wall of the stator 1 in the direction of the housing 12 of the stator 1. In other words, the first mounting means 11 comprises a protrusion extending from the stator 1 in the direction of the rotor 2, when the latter is received in the housing 12 of the stator 1. More specifically, the protuberance of the first mounting means 11 extends radially then an internal wall of the stator 1 in the direction of the housing 12 of the stator 1 intended to receive the rotor 2.

Comme représenté sur la figure 1, le deuxième moyen de montage 21, 22 comprend un renfoncement destiné à coopérer avec la protubérance du stator 1. Autrement dit, le deuxième moyen de montage 21, 22 comprend un renfoncement de forme sensiblement complémentaire à la protubérance du premier moyen de montage 11, de sorte que lorsque le rotor 2 est inséré dans le logement 12 du stator 1 dans une position prédéterminée, les premier et deuxième moyens de montage 11, 21, 22 coopèrent. Plus précisément, le deuxième moyen de montage 21, 22 comprend un renfoncement qui s'étend radialement depuis une paroi externe du rotor 2 en direction de l'axe de rotation du rotor 2.As shown in the figure 1 , the second mounting means 21, 22 comprises a recess intended to cooperate with the protuberance of the stator 1. In other words, the second mounting means 21, 22 comprises a recess of shape substantially complementary to the protuberance of the first mounting means 11, so that when the rotor 2 is inserted into the housing 12 of the stator 1 in a predetermined position, the first and second mounting means 11, 21, 22 cooperate. More specifically, the second mounting means 21, 22 comprises a recess which extends radially from an external wall of the rotor 2 in the direction of the axis of rotation of the rotor 2.

Alternativement, le deuxième moyen de montage 21, 22 comprend une protubérance s'étendant depuis une paroi du rotor 2 en direction du stator 1 lorsque le rotor est inséré dans le logement 12 du stator 1, et le stator 1 comprend un renfoncement s'étendant depuis une paroi du stator 1 dans une direction opposée à la direction du logement 12 du stator 1, le renfoncement du rotor 2 étant destiné à coopérer avec la protubérance du stator 1.Alternatively, the second mounting means 21, 22 comprises a protrusion extending from a wall of the rotor 2 in the direction of the stator 1 when the rotor is inserted in the housing 12 of the stator 1, and the stator 1 comprises a recess extending from a wall of the stator 1 in a direction opposite to the direction of the housing 12 of the stator 1, the recess of the rotor 2 being intended to cooperate with the protuberance of the stator 1.

Le premier moyen de montage 11 et le deuxième moyen de montage 21, 22 coopèrent de sorte que le rotor 2 est mobile, notamment mobile en rotation, entre au moins une position angulaire ouverte et des positions angulaires fermées, et est bloqué, notamment bloqué en translation, aux positions angulaires fermées.The first mounting means 11 and the second mounting means 21, 22 cooperate so that the rotor 2 is mobile, in particular mobile in rotation, between the minus an open angular position and closed angular positions, and is blocked, in particular blocked in translation, at the closed angular positions.

La position angulaire ouverte 23a, 24a, illustrée en figure 3, correspond à la position dans laquelle le rotor 2 est mobile en translation le long de l'axe de rotation du rotor. En position angulaire ouverte, le rotor 2 est mobile en rotation en direction des positions angulaires fermées.The open angular position 23a, 24a, illustrated in figure 3 , corresponds to the position in which the rotor 2 is movable in translation along the axis of rotation of the rotor. In the open angular position, the rotor 2 is rotatable in the direction of the closed angular positions.

La position angulaire ouverte 23a, 24a s'étend, de préférence, sur un secteur angulaire compris entre 90° et 270° autour de l'axe de rotation du rotor 2, notamment sensiblement égale à 180°.The open angular position 23a, 24a preferably extends over an angular sector between 90 ° and 270 ° around the axis of rotation of the rotor 2, in particular substantially equal to 180 °.

Les positions angulaires fermées correspondent à des positions dans lesquelles la coopération entre le premier moyen de montage 11 et le deuxième moyen de montage 21, 22 bloque le rotor 2 en translation le long de l'axe de rotation du rotor.The closed angular positions correspond to positions in which the cooperation between the first mounting means 11 and the second mounting means 21, 22 blocks the rotor 2 in translation along the axis of rotation of the rotor.

Les positions angulaires fermées comprennent une position de repos 23b, 24b, dans laquelle le rotor 2 n'actionne pas l'organe de déverrouillage, et au moins une position active, par exemple ici deux positions actives (non représentées), dans laquelle le rotor 2 actionne l'organe de déverrouillage. En particulier, la position de repos s'étend sur un secteur angulaire plus large que le secteur angulaire de chaque position active. Plus précisément, une position active peut correspondre à une position angulaire particulière, tandis qu'une position de repos peut correspondre à un secteur angulaire comprenant une pluralité de positions angulaires. Autrement dit, la rotation du rotor 2 de la position de repos 23b, 24b à une position active permet l'actionnement de l'organe de déverrouillage pour le verrouillage, et la rotation du rotor 2 de la position de repos 23b, 24b à l'autre position active permet l'actionnement de l'organe de déverrouillage pour le déverrouillage.The closed angular positions comprise a rest position 23b, 24b, in which the rotor 2 does not actuate the unlocking member, and at least one active position, for example here two active positions (not shown), in which the rotor 2 operates the unlocking member. In particular, the rest position extends over a wider angular sector than the angular sector of each active position. More specifically, an active position can correspond to a particular angular position, while a rest position can correspond to an angular sector comprising a plurality of angular positions. In other words, the rotation of the rotor 2 from the rest position 23b, 24b to an active position allows the actuation of the unlocking member for locking, and the rotation of the rotor 2 from the rest position 23b, 24b to l 'another active position allows actuation of the unlocking member for unlocking.

En particulier, la rotation permettant de passer de la position de repos 23b, 24b à une des positions actives est, de préférence, une rotation d'un angle compris entre 0° et 90°, notamment supérieur à 45° dans un cas, pour le verrouillage par exemple, et une rotation d'un angle compris entre 0° et -90°, notamment inférieur à -45° dans l'autre cas, pour le déverrouillage par exemple.In particular, the rotation allowing to pass from the rest position 23b, 24b to one of the active positions is preferably a rotation of an angle between 0 ° and 90 °, in particular greater than 45 ° in one case, to locking for example, and a rotation of an angle between 0 ° and -90 °, in particular less than -45 ° in the other case, for unlocking for example.

Avantageusement, le rotor 2 passe de la position angulaire ouverte 23a, 24a à une position angulaire fermée, notamment à la position de repos 23b, 24b par une rotation d'un angle supérieur à 90° et inférieur à 270°, par exemple la rotation d'un angle sensiblement égal à 180°.Advantageously, the rotor 2 passes from the open angular position 23a, 24a to a closed angular position, in particular to the rest position 23b, 24b by a rotation of an angle greater than 90 ° and less than 270 °, for example the rotation at an angle substantially equal to 180 °.

En outre, comme représentée sur la figure 4b, le verrou comprend un moyen de blocage 33, 34 permettant de bloquer la rotation du rotor 2 lorsqu'il est dans une position fermée en direction de la position angulaire ouverte. Plus précisément, le moyen de blocage 33, 34 empêche la rotation du rotor 2 de la position de repos 23b, 24b en direction de la position angulaire ouverte. Autrement dit, le moyen de blocage 33, 34 permet de maintenir le rotor dans les positions angulaires fermées.In addition, as shown in the figure 4b , the lock comprises a locking means 33, 34 making it possible to block the rotation of the rotor 2 when it is in a closed position in the direction of the open angular position. More specifically, the locking means 33, 34 prevents rotation of the rotor 2 from the rest position 23b, 24b in the direction of the open angular position. In other words, the locking means 33, 34 keeps the rotor in the closed angular positions.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le verrou comprend un moyen de rappel 3 configuré pour rappeler le rotor 2 vers la position de repos 23b, 24b. Par exemple, suite à un actionnement de l'organe de déverrouillage, le moyen de rappel 3 permet d'entrainer le rotor 2 d'une position active vers la position de repos 23b, 24b.According to one embodiment of the invention, the lock comprises a return means 3 configured to return the rotor 2 to the rest position 23b, 24b. For example, following an actuation of the unlocking member, the return means 3 makes it possible to drive the rotor 2 from an active position to the rest position 23b, 24b.

Le moyen de rappel 3 est, par exemple, un ressort de rappel permettant de rappeler le rotor 2 vers la position de repos 23b, 24b. Avantageusement, comme représenté sur la figure 4b, le moyen de rappel 3 comprend le moyen de blocage 33, 34. De ce fait, le moyen de rappel permet également de bloquer la rotation du rotor 2 en direction de la position angulaire ouverte 23a, 24a.The return means 3 is, for example, a return spring making it possible to return the rotor 2 to the rest position 23b, 24b. Advantageously, as shown in the figure 4b , the return means 3 comprises the locking means 33, 34. As a result, the return means also makes it possible to block the rotation of the rotor 2 in the direction of the open angular position 23a, 24a.

En particulier, comme visible sur la figure 4a, le rotor 2 comprend un logement 26 dans lequel le moyen de rappel 3 est destiné à être inséré. Par exemple, sur la figure 4b, le moyen de rappel 3 est de forme sensiblement annulaire, et s'étend le long de l'axe de rotation du rotor 2. Le moyen de rappel 3 comprend le moyen de blocage 33, 34 qui s'étend dans une direction transversale par rapport à la forme sensiblement annulaire du moyen de rappel 3. Le logement du rotor 2 est de forme sensiblement annulaire, de sorte que le moyen de rappel 3 est inséré dans ledit logement du rotor 2.In particular, as visible on the figure 4a , the rotor 2 comprises a housing 26 in which the return means 3 is intended to be inserted. For example, on the figure 4b , the return means 3 is of substantially annular shape, and extends along the axis of rotation of the rotor 2. The return means 3 comprises the locking means 33, 34 which extends in a transverse direction by relative to the substantially annular shape of the return means 3. The housing of the rotor 2 is of substantially annular shape, so that the return means 3 is inserted into said housing of the rotor 2.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le stator 1 comprend une butée de stator, et le rotor 2 comprend une butée de rotor. En particulier, comme représenté sur la figure 4a, la butée du stator comprend une première partie 13 et une deuxième partie 14, et la butée du rotor comprend une première partie 23 et une deuxième partie 24. Plus précisément, la butée du stator s'étend depuis une paroi externe du stator 1 en direction du rotor 2 lorsque le rotor est reçu dans le logement du stator 1. De façon similaire, la butée de rotor s'étend depuis une paroi interne du stator 1 en direction de l'axe de rotation du rotor 2.According to one embodiment of the invention, the stator 1 comprises a stator stop, and the rotor 2 comprises a rotor stop. In particular, as shown in the figure 4a , the stator stop comprises a first part 13 and a second part 14, and the rotor stop comprises a first part 23 and a second part 24. More specifically, the stator stop extends from an external wall of the stator 1 in the direction of the rotor 2 when the rotor is received in the housing of the stator 1. Similarly, the rotor stop extends from an internal wall of the stator 1 towards the axis of rotation of rotor 2.

Le moyen de blocage 33, 34 comprend un pied de blocage coopérant avec la butée de stator et/ou avec la butée de rotor pour bloquer la rotation du rotor 2 de la position de repos en direction de la position angulaire ouverte. Avantageusement, le moyen de rappel 3 comprend ledit pied de blocage.The locking means 33, 34 comprises a locking foot cooperating with the stator stop and / or with the rotor stop to block the rotation of the rotor 2 from the rest position towards the open angular position. Advantageously, the return means 3 comprises said blocking foot.

En particulier, comme représenté sur la figure 4b, le moyen de blocage 33 coopère avec la première partie 13 de la butée de stator et avec la première partie 23 de la butée de rotor, et le moyen de blocage 34 coopère avec la deuxième partie 14 de la butée de stator et avec la deuxième partie 24 de la butée de rotor.In particular, as shown in the figure 4b , the locking means 33 cooperates with the first part 13 of the stator stop and with the first part 23 of the rotor stop, and the locking means 34 cooperates with the second part 14 of the stator stop and with the second part 24 of the rotor stop.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, en position de repos 23b, 24b du rotor 2, le logement 26 et les butées de stator et de rotor sont positionnés de sorte que le moyen de rappel 3 coopère avec la butée de rotor et avec la butée de stator.According to one embodiment of the invention, in the rest position 23b, 24b of the rotor 2, the housing 26 and the stator and rotor stops are positioned so that the return means 3 cooperates with the rotor stop and with the stator stop.

Autrement dit, en position de repos 23b, 24b du rotor 2, le logement 26 et les butées de stator et de rotor sont en continuité. Plus précisément, en position de repos 23b, 24b du rotor 2, le positionnement du moyen de rappel 3 dans le logement 26 entraine la coopération du moyen de rappel 3 avec la butée de rotor et avec la butée de stator.In other words, in the rest position 23b, 24b of the rotor 2, the housing 26 and the stator and rotor stops are in continuity. More precisely, in the rest position 23b, 24b of the rotor 2, the positioning of the return means 3 in the housing 26 results in the cooperation of the return means 3 with the rotor stop and with the stator stop.

En particulier, comme représenté sur la figure 4b, en position de repos du rotor 2, le logement du rotor 2, la première partie 23 de la butée du rotor et la première partie 13 de la butée du stator sont en continuité, et le moyen de rappel 3, en particulier le moyen de blocage 33, coopère avec la première partie 13, 23 des butées du rotor et du stator. De façon similaire, en position de repos du rotor 2, le logement du rotor 2, la deuxième partie 24 de la butée du rotor et la deuxième partie 14 de la butée du stator sont en continuité, et le moyen de blocage 34 coopère avec la deuxième partie 14, 24 des butées du rotor et du stator.In particular, as shown in the figure 4b , in the rest position of the rotor 2, the housing of the rotor 2, the first part 23 of the rotor stop and the first part 13 of the stator stop are in continuity, and the return means 3, in particular the means of blocking 33, cooperates with the first part 13, 23 of the stops of the rotor and the stator. Similarly, in the rest position of the rotor 2, the housing of the rotor 2, the second part 24 of the rotor stop and the second part 14 of the stator stop are in continuity, and the locking means 34 cooperates with the second part 14, 24 of the stops of the rotor and the stator.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le stator 1 comprend un renfoncement angulaire externe 15 délimité par la butée de stator, et plus précisément par les première et deuxième parties 13, 14 de la butée du stator. Autrement dit, comme représenté sur la figure 3, le stator 1 comprend un renfoncement s'étendant depuis une surface externe du stator 1 par rapport au logement du stator 1, en direction du rotor 2 inséré dans le logement du stator 1.According to one embodiment of the invention, the stator 1 comprises an external angular recess 15 delimited by the stator stop, and more precisely by the first and second parts 13, 14 of the stator stop. In other words, as shown in the figure 3 , the stator 1 comprises a recess extending from an external surface of the stator 1 relative to the housing of the stator 1, in the direction of the rotor 2 inserted in the housing of the stator 1.

En particulier, le renfoncement angulaire externe 15 s'étend d'une paroi externe du stator 1 en direction du logement du stator destiné à recevoir le rotor 2 sur un secteur angulaire du stator 1. Plus précisément, le renfoncement angulaire externe 15 s'étend sur le secteur angulaire compris entre la première partie 13 de la butée de stator et la deuxième partie 14 de la butée de stator.In particular, the external angular recess 15 extends from an external wall of the stator 1 in the direction of the housing of the stator intended to receive the rotor 2 on an angular sector of the stator 1. More specifically, the external angular recess 15 extends on the angular sector between the first part 13 of the stator stop and the second part 14 of the stator stop.

De même, le rotor 2 comprend un renfoncement angulaire interne 25 délimité par la butée de rotor, et plus précisément par les première et deuxième parties 23, 24 de la butée du rotor. Autrement dit, comme représenté sur la figure 4a, le rotor 2 comprend un renfoncement s'étendant depuis la surface externe du rotor 2, c'est-à-dire depuis la surface en contact avec la paroi du logement du stator 1, en direction de l'axe de rotation du rotor.Similarly, the rotor 2 comprises an internal angular recess 25 delimited by the rotor stop, and more precisely by the first and second parts 23, 24 of the rotor stop. In other words, as shown in the figure 4a , the rotor 2 comprises a recess extending from the external surface of the rotor 2, that is to say from the surface in contact with the wall of the housing of the stator 1, in the direction of the axis of rotation of the rotor.

En particulier, le renfoncement angulaire interne 25 s'étend d'une paroi externe du rotor 2 en direction de l'axe de rotation du rotor 2 sur un secteur angulaire du rotor 2. Plus précisément, le renfoncement angulaire interne 25 s'étend sur le secteur angulaire compris entre la première partie 23 de la butée de rotor et la deuxième partie 24 de la butée de rotor.In particular, the internal angular recess 25 extends from an external wall of the rotor 2 in the direction of the axis of rotation of the rotor 2 over an angular sector of the rotor 2. More specifically, the internal angular recess 25 extends over the angular sector between the first part 23 of the rotor stop and the second part 24 of the rotor stop.

Le renfoncement angulaire externe 15 du stator 1 et le renfoncement angulaire interne 25 du rotor 2 s'étendent de préférence sur un secteur angulaire compris entre 45° et 180°, notamment sensiblement égale à 90°.The external angular recess 15 of the stator 1 and the internal angular recess 25 of the rotor 2 preferably extend over an angular sector between 45 ° and 180 °, in particular substantially equal to 90 °.

En particulier, lorsque le rotor est dans la position de repos, le renfoncement angulaire externe 15 et le renfoncement angulaire interne 25 sont au moins partiellement superposés. Autrement dit, lorsque le rotor est dans la position de repos, au moins une partie du renfoncement angulaire externe 15 et au moins une partie du renfoncement angulaire interne 25 s'étendent sur le même secteur angulaire depuis l'axe de rotation du rotor. Par exemple, comme représenté sur la figure 4a, en position de repos 23b, 24b du rotor 2, les renfoncements angulaires 15, 25 sont totalement superposés. Plus précisément, sur la figure 4a, les renfoncements angulaires externe 15 et interne 25 sont en continuité.In particular, when the rotor is in the rest position, the external angular recess 15 and the internal angular recess 25 are at least partially superimposed. In other words, when the rotor is in the rest position, at least a part of the external angular recess 15 and at least a part of the internal angular recess 25 extend over the same angular sector from the axis of rotation of the rotor. For example, as shown in the figure 4a , in the rest position 23b, 24b of the rotor 2, the angular recesses 15, 25 are completely superimposed. More specifically, on the figure 4a , the external angular recesses 15 and internal 25 are in continuity.

Le renfoncement angulaire externe 15 et le renfoncement angulaire interne 25 sont au moins partiellement décalés l'un par rapport à l'autre lorsque le rotor est dans la position angulaire ouverte 23a, 24a. Autrement dit, en position angulaire ouverte du rotor, au moins une partie du renfoncement angulaire externe 15 et au moins une partie du renfoncement angulaire interne 25 s'étendent sur des secteurs angulaires différents depuis l'axe de rotation du rotor. En particulier, comme illustré sur la figure 3, en position angulaire ouverte 23a, 24a du rotor 2, les renfoncements angulaires 15, 25 sont totalement décalés l'un par rapport à l'autre. Plus précisément, sur la figure 3, les renfoncements angulaires externe 15 et interne 25 ne s'étendent pas sur le même secteur angulaire depuis l'axe de rotation du rotor.The external angular recess 15 and the internal angular recess 25 are at least partially offset from one another when the rotor is in the open angular position 23a, 24a. In other words, in the open angular position of the rotor, at least a part of the external angular recess 15 and at least a part of the internal angular recess 25 extend over different angular sectors from the axis of rotation of the rotor. In particular, as illustrated in the figure 3 , in the open angular position 23a, 24a of the rotor 2, the angular recesses 15, 25 are totally offset from one another. More specifically, on the figure 3 , the external angular recesses 15 and internal 25 do not extend over the same angular sector from the axis of rotation of the rotor.

En particulier, le logement 26 du rotor débouche radialement sur le renfoncement angulaire interne 25.In particular, the housing 26 of the rotor opens radially onto the internal angular recess 25.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le premier moyen de montage 11 du stator 1 comprend au moins une protubérance qui s'étend en direction du rotor 2 lorsque ce dernier est reçu dans le logement 12 du stator 1, et le deuxième moyen de montage 21, 22 du rotor 2 comprend au moins un renfoncement coopérant avec ladite protubérance. La coopération de la protubérance du premier moyen de montage 11 avec le renfoncement du deuxième moyen de montage 21, 22 permet de fixer axialement le rotor 2 dans le stator 1 dans les positions angulaires fermées 23b, 24b.According to one embodiment of the invention, the first mounting means 11 of the stator 1 comprises at least one protuberance which extends in the direction of the rotor 2 when the latter is received in the housing 12 of the stator 1, and the second means mounting 21, 22 of the rotor 2 comprises at least one recess cooperating with said protuberance. The cooperation of the protuberance of the first mounting means 11 with the recess of the second mounting means 21, 22 makes it possible to axially fix the rotor 2 in the stator 1 in the closed angular positions 23b, 24b.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le stator 1 est en une seule pièce. Avantageusement, le stator en une seule pièce permet de diminuer le temps et les coûts de montage du verrou le comprenant. En outre, lorsque le stator est en une seule pièce, il n'y a pas d'écartement du stator possible, ce qui permet de réduire le risque de réussite d'une tentative de forçage du verrou.According to one embodiment of the invention, the stator 1 is in one piece. Advantageously, the stator in one piece makes it possible to reduce the time and the costs of mounting the lock comprising it. In addition, when the stator is in one piece, there is no possible spacing of the stator, which reduces the risk of success of an attempt to force the lock.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le rotor 2 comprend un orifice d'insertion d'un insert de clé et des organes de codage, tels que des paillettes. Les paillettes permettent de bloquer la rotation du rotor 2 dans le stator 1 lors d'une absence de clé ou lorsqu'une clé non conforme est insérée dans l'orifice d'insertion du rotor 2.According to one embodiment of the invention, the rotor 2 comprises an orifice for inserting a key insert and coding members, such as glitter. The flakes allow the rotation of the rotor 2 to be blocked in the stator 1 when there is no key or when a non-conforming key is inserted in the insertion hole of the rotor 2.

Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le verrou comprend un côté avant configuré pour l'introduction d'une clé de déverrouillage, et un côté arrière configuré pour coopérer avec un organe de déverrouillage. En particulier, la clé de déverrouillage est introduite dans le verrou dans la position de repos du rotor 2. La rotation de la clé de déverrouillage permet le passage du rotor 2 de la position de repos à une position active, et ainsi l'actionnement de l'organe de déverrouillage du verrou.According to one embodiment of the invention, the lock comprises a front side configured for the introduction of an unlocking key, and a rear side configured to cooperate with an unlocking member. In particular, the unlocking key is inserted into the lock in the rest position of the rotor 2. The rotation of the unlocking key allows the rotor 2 to pass from the rest position to an active position, and thus the actuation of the lock unlocking member.

Préférentiellement, les moyens de montage 11, 21, 22 sont configurés de sorte que le rotor 2 est insérable axialement par le côté arrière du verrou dans le stator 1, notamment visible sur la figure 2, dans la position angulaire ouverte 23a, 24a. Avantageusement, les moyens de montage 11, 21, 22 permettent d'avoir une bonne tenue au forçage, en particulier à l'enfoncement et à l'arrachement. En effet, l'insertion du rotor par le côté arrière du verrou dans le stator permet d'avoir une bonne tenue à l'arrachement du verrou, et la coopération des moyens de montage 11, 21, 22 permet d'avoir une bonne tenue à l'enfoncement du verrou.Preferably, the mounting means 11, 21, 22 are configured so that the rotor 2 is axially insertable from the rear side of the lock in the stator 1, in particular visible on the figure 2 , in the open angular position 23a, 24a. Advantageously, the mounting means 11, 21, 22 make it possible to have good resistance to forcing, in particular to sinking and tearing. Indeed, the insertion of the rotor by the rear side of the lock in the stator allows to have a good resistance to the pulling of the lock, and the cooperation of the mounting means 11, 21, 22 allows to have a good resistance when the lock is pressed.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de montage d'un verrou pour véhicule automobile tel que décrit précédemment.The invention also relates to a method for mounting a lock for a motor vehicle as described above.

En particulier, le procédé de montage comprend une étape d'insertion, au cours de laquelle le rotor est inséré dans le stator. Plus précisément, le rotor est inséré axialement dans le stator, de préférence par le côté arrière du stator, dans la position angulaire ouverte. Suite à l'insertion du rotor 2 dans le stator 1, notamment représenté sur la figure 3, le premier moyen de montage et le deuxième moyen de montage coopèrent de sorte que le rotor est mobile en translation le long de l'axe du rotor.In particular, the mounting method includes an insertion step, during which the rotor is inserted into the stator. More specifically, the rotor is inserted axially in the stator, preferably by the rear side of the stator, in the open angular position. Following the insertion of the rotor 2 into the stator 1, in particular shown on the figure 3 , the first mounting means and the second mounting means cooperate so that the rotor is movable in translation along the axis of the rotor.

Le procédé comprend, suite à l'étape d'insertion, une étape de rotation, au cours de laquelle le rotor est pivoté vers une position angulaire fermée. Plus précisément, le rotor est pivoté de la position angulaire ouverte vers une position angulaire fermée, notamment vers la position de repos. Comme illustré sur la figure 4a, suite à la rotation du rotor 2 dans le stator 1 de la position angulaire ouverte vers une position angulaire fermée, le premier moyen de montage et le deuxième moyen de montage coopèrent de sorte que le rotor est bloqué en translation le long de l'axe du rotor. La rotation du rotor 2 entraine le moyen de blocage dans une position de blocage de la rotation du rotor 2 d'une position angulaire fermée en direction de la position angulaire ouverte. Autrement dit, le moyen de blocage est positionné pour empêcher la rotation du rotor 2 de la position de repos vers la position angulaire ouverte.The method comprises, following the insertion step, a rotation step, during which the rotor is pivoted to a closed angular position. More specifically, the rotor is pivoted from the open angular position to a closed angular position, in particular towards the rest position. As illustrated in the figure 4a following the rotation of the rotor 2 in the stator 1 from the open angular position to a closed angular position, the first mounting means and the second mounting means cooperate so that the rotor is locked in translation along the axis of the rotor. The rotation of the rotor 2 causes the locking means in a position for blocking the rotation of the rotor 2 from a closed angular position in the direction of the open angular position. In other words, the locking means is positioned to prevent rotation of the rotor 2 from the rest position to the open angular position.

En particulier, le stator 1 et le rotor 2 sont montés en baïonnette, c'est-à-dire qu'ils présentent le système de fixation de type baïonnette. Plus précisément, dans un premier temps, le rotor 2 est inséré axialement dans le logement du stator 1, ce qui entraine la coopération des premier et deuxième moyens de montage 11, 21, 22 de sorte que le rotor 2 est mobile en translation le long de l'axe de rotation du rotor. Et dans un deuxième temps, le rotor 2 est pivoté par rapport au stator 1, ce qui entraine la coopération des premier et deuxième moyens de montage 11, 21, 22 de sorte que le rotor 2 est mobile en rotation autour de l'axe de rotation du rotor et est bloqué en translation par rapport au stator 1.In particular, the stator 1 and the rotor 2 are mounted in bayonet, that is to say that they have the bayonet type fixing system. More specifically, initially, the rotor 2 is inserted axially in the housing of the stator 1, which causes the cooperation of the first and second mounting means 11, 21, 22 so that the rotor 2 is movable in translation along of the axis of rotation of the rotor. And in a second step, the rotor 2 is pivoted relative to the stator 1, which causes the cooperation of the first and second mounting means 11, 21, 22 so that the rotor 2 is movable in rotation around the axis of rotation of the rotor and is locked in translation relative to stator 1.

L'invention se rapporte également à un véhicule automobile comprenant au moins un verrou tel que décrit précédemment, le verrou pouvant être monté sur un dispositif de démarrage, sur un ouvrant, sur un réservoir de carburant, ou encore sur une boite à gant du véhicule automobile.The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising at least one lock as described above, the lock being able to be mounted on a starting device, on an opening leaf, on a fuel tank, or even on a glove box of the vehicle. automobile.
