Description

COMMANDE D'OUVERTURE EXTÉRIEURE DE PORTE COMPRENANT AU MOINS UN  EXTERNAL DOOR OPENING CONTROL COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE
ECRAN ACOUSTIQUE  ACOUSTIC SCREEN
L'invention se situe dans le domaine des commandes d'ouverture extérieures de porte de véhicule, et concerne plus précisément une commande d'ouverture extérieure de porte latérale de véhicule automobile et un véhicule équipé d'une telle commande d'ouverture extérieure. La vibration d'éléments mécaniques et l'engouffrement de flux d'air dans des parties d'un véhicule sont différentes sources de bruit qui peuvent devenir une source de gêne pour les passagers lorsque ces bruits atteignent l'habitacle. The invention lies in the field of external vehicle door opening controls, and more specifically relates to an external opening control of a motor vehicle side door and a vehicle equipped with such an external opening control. The vibration of mechanical elements and the entrapment of air flows in parts of a vehicle are different sources of noise that can become a source of discomfort for passengers when these noises reach the passenger compartment.
Ainsi, par exemple, l'engouffrement d'air dans le caisson des portes latérales d'un véhicule génère des bruits qui atteignent l'habitacle au travers de la jonction dite « coulisse-lécheur » entre la vitre et les joints « lécheurs » de la porte latérale. Il serait intéressant de pouvoir trouver une solution permettant d'atténuer ou de supprimer le bruit entrant dans l'habitacle par cette voie. Malheureusement, la position de la vitre montrant un jeu, il est difficile de résoudre ce problème en rendant étanche d'un point de vue acoustique ladite jonction « coulisse-lécheur ». Thus, for example, the entrapment of air in the box of the side doors of a vehicle generates noises that reach the passenger compartment through the junction called "slide-licker" between the glass and the joints "licking" of the side door. It would be interesting to find a solution to reduce or eliminate the noise entering the cabin by this route. Unfortunately, the position of the window showing a game, it is difficult to solve this problem by sealing acoustically said junction "slide-licker".
L'engouffrement du flux d'air se fait notamment via la commande d'ouverture extérieure de la porte car la jonction entre la commande d'ouverture extérieure et la carrosserie du véhicule n'est pas étanche. Une solution efficace et économique à la diffusion de bruits dans l'habitacle en provenance du caisson de porte reste donc à trouver. The entrapment of the air flow is in particular via the external opening control of the door because the junction between the outer opening control and the vehicle body is not sealed. An effective and economical solution to the diffusion of noise in the passenger compartment from the door box remains to be found.
Des solutions pour diminuer les bruits générés par un flux d'air et en relation avec une commande d'ouverture extérieure de porte ont déjà été proposées. Ainsi, le document CN104863434 décrit une commande d'ouverture comprenant une plaque mobile entre une position de couverture et une position d'exposition de la commande d'ouverture, cette dernière position permettant à l'utilisateur d'accéder à la poignée de la commande d'ouverture. En position de couverture, la plaque recouvre la poignée permettant ainsi de réduire le bruit du vent généré lorsque le véhicule roule à grande vitesse. Malheureusement, cette solution apparaît comme complexe et nécessite d'adapter les commandes d'ouverture extérieures actuellement utilisées pour la mettre en œuvre. Par ailleurs la présence d'une telle plaque peut nuire au style et à l'esthétisme du véhicule. Les documents EP 0402780 et WO 200937187 décrivent des solutions pour rendre étanche l'articulation de la poignée ou sa jonction avec la porte afin que l'air ne s'engouffre pas via ces voies. Ainsi dans le document EP 0402780, le moyen d'étanchéité est présent sur l'étrier de la commande d'ouverture et autour d'une ouverture par laquelle va passer une branche associée à la poignée et qui montre, lorsque la poignée n'est pas actionnée, un interstice au travers duquel de l'air peut circuler. Le moyen d'étanchéité est disposé au niveau de cet interstice et permet d'éviter que l'air ne pénètre dans la porte. Le document WO 200937187 décrit une poignée de porte comportant un profilé d'étanchéité situé entre le bord de la face arrière de la poignée disposée en regard de la tôle et la tôle extérieure de la porte. Ces solutions mettent en œuvre des éléments situés en intérieur de la commande extérieure de porte et nécessitent donc de concevoir de nouvelles commandes. Solutions to reduce the noise generated by an air flow and in connection with an external door opening control have already been proposed. Thus, CN104863434 discloses an opening control comprising a plate movable between a cover position and an exposure position of the opening control, the latter position allowing the user to access the handle of the control opening. In the covering position, the plate covers the handle thus reducing the wind noise generated when the vehicle is traveling at high speed. Unfortunately, this solution appears complex and requires adapting the external opening commands currently used to implement it. Moreover, the presence of such a plate can affect the style and aesthetics of the vehicle. EP 0402780 and WO 200937187 describe solutions for sealing the articulation of the handle or its junction with the door so that air does not rush through these channels. Thus in EP 0402780, the sealing means is present on the yoke of the opening control and around an opening through which a branch associated with the handle will pass and which shows, when the handle is not not actuated, a gap through which air can flow. The sealing means is disposed at this gap and prevents the air from entering the door. WO 200937187 discloses a door handle having a sealing profile located between the edge of the rear face of the handle disposed opposite the sheet and the outer sheet of the door. These solutions implement elements located inside the external door control and therefore require to design new commands.
Il serait intéressant de trouver une solution simple et économique pouvant s'appliquer aux commandes d'ouverture extérieures de portes actuellement utilisées et qui, de préférence, ne modifie pas leur aspect esthétique. It would be interesting to find a simple and economical solution that can be applied to the external door opening controls currently used and which, preferably, does not change their aesthetic appearance.

Selon un second aspect, la commande d'ouverture de l'invention comprend un ou des écrans acoustiques fixés sur l'étrier par collage au niveau de leur pourtour, ce collage étant discontinu de façon à créer des voies permettant à l'eau en provenance de l'extérieur de circuler. According to a second aspect, the opening control of the invention comprises one or more acoustic screens fixed on the stirrup by gluing at their periphery, this gluing being discontinuous so as to create channels allowing the water coming from from the outside to circulate.
Selon un troisième aspect, la commande d'ouverture comprend au moins un écran acoustique en matériau élastique apte à absorber les bruits générés par le choc éventuel entre la vitre de la porte lorsqu'elle est baissée et la commande d'ouverture extérieure de porte résultant d'un claquement de porte. According to a third aspect, the opening control comprises at least one acoustic screen made of elastic material capable of absorbing the noises generated by the eventual impact between the door glass when it is lowered and the resulting external door opening control. a door slam.
L'invention sera bien comprise et d'autres aspects et avantages apparaîtront clairement à la lecture de la description qui suit donnée à titre d'exemple en référence aux planches de dessins annexées sur lesquelles : The invention will be well understood and other aspects and advantages will become clear from reading the following description given by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing plates in which:

Il est entendu que le terme « comprendre » inclut les termes « consister en ». Sur les différentes figures, les mêmes références désignent des éléments identiques ou similaires. - Figure 4 is a sectional view of a side door illustrating the relative position of the window and the outer opening control of the invention. In the following description, the term "understand" is synonymous with "include" and is not limiting in that it permits the presence of other elements in the opening control and the vehicle to which it relates. It is understood that the term "understand" includes the words "consist of". In the different figures, the same references designate identical or similar elements.
On se référera en premier lieu à la figure 1 qui est une coupe transversale d'une commande 1 d'ouverture extérieure de porte 3 selon l'invention. La commande d'ouverture 1 extérieure de porte 3 comprend une poignée 5 et un étrier 7. Dans l'exemple représenté, l'étrier 7 est positionné à l'intérieur de la porte 3 (c'est-à-dire dans le caisson de porte) et la poignée 5 fait saillie sur la surface extérieure 9 de la porte 3 de manière à ce qu'un utilisateur puisse la saisir. Reference is made first to Figure 1 which is a cross section of an external door opening control 1 1 according to the invention. The outer door opening control 1 comprises a handle 5 and a stirrup 7. In the example shown, the stirrup 7 is positioned inside the door 3 (that is to say in the box door) and the handle 5 projects on the outer surface 9 of the door 3 so that a user can grasp it.
L'étrier 7 comprend une face avant tournée vers l'extérieur du véhicule et une face arrière tournée vers l'intérieur de la porte. Comme il est visible sur la figure, la poignée 5 est en regard de la face avant de l'étrier 7 et en contact avec la surface extérieure 9 de la porte latérale. Lorsque le véhicule roule, un flux d'air est susceptible de s'infiltrer par des interstices entre la commande 1 d'ouverture de porte et la surface extérieure 9 de la porte. Ce flux d'air peut traverser l'étrier 7 et pénétrer dans le caisson de porte via des ouvertures présentes sur la face arrière de l'étrier 7. The stirrup 7 comprises a front face facing the outside of the vehicle and a rear face facing the inside of the door. As is visible in the figure, the handle 5 is facing the front face of the stirrup 7 and in contact with the outer surface 9 of the side door. When the vehicle is traveling, a flow of air is likely to infiltrate through gaps between the door opening control 1 and the outer surface 9 of the door. This air flow can pass through the stirrup 7 and enter the door box via openings present on the rear face of the stirrup 7.
L'invention est remarquable en ce que la commande d'ouverture 1 comprend au moins un écran 1 1 acoustique obstruant au moins partiellement les ouvertures présentées par ledit étrier 7 sur sa face arrière 13. Ainsi le ou les écrans acoustiques sont destinés à s'opposer au passage du flux d'air cherchant à pénétrer dans le caisson de porte au travers de la face arrière 13 de l'étrier 7. The invention is remarkable in that the opening control 1 comprises at least one acoustic screen 1 1 at least partially obstructing the openings presented by said stirrup 7 on its rear face 13. Thus the acoustic screen or screens are intended for opposing the passage of airflow seeking to enter the door box through the rear face 13 of the stirrup 7.
Dans l'exemple illustré, la commande d'ouverture 1 de porte présente un mécanisme d'actionnement de la poignée 5 logé dans l'étrier 7. L'étrier 7 présente une ouverture débouchant sur ce mécanisme et au moins un écran 1 1 est positionné pour obstruer cette ouverture. Si bien qu'au moins un écran 1 1 est positionné en regard du mécanisme d'actionnement de la poignée 5. In the example illustrated, the door opening control 1 has a mechanism for actuating the handle 5 housed in the stirrup 7. The stirrup 7 has an opening opening on this mechanism and at least one screen 1 1 is positioned to obstruct this opening. So that at least one screen 1 1 is positioned opposite the actuating mechanism of the handle 5.
Selon une mise en œuvre préférée, l'écran 1 1 ou les écrans acoustiques sont fixés à la commande d'ouverture 1 . La fixation est réalisée par tout moyen, et de préférence par collage au moyen de colle ou de ruban adhésif. Le ou les écrans 1 1 sont collés sur l'étrier au niveau de leurs pourtours. Il est ainsi possible de ne fermer les ouvertures de l'étrier qu'une fois la commande d'ouverture extérieure mise en place sur la porte. Il est également possible de retirer l'écran 1 1 si l'on souhaite accéder aux éléments ou mécanismes qu'il masque. According to a preferred implementation, the screen 1 1 or acoustic screens are attached to the opening control 1. Fixing is carried out by any means, and preferably by gluing by means of glue or adhesive tape. The screen or screens 1 1 are glued to the caliper at their periphery. It is thus possible to close the openings of the stirrup that a times the external opening control set up on the door. It is also possible to remove the screen 1 1 if one wishes to access the elements or mechanisms that mask.
Selon un mode réalisation particulier de l'invention, le recouvrement de face arrière de l'étrier 7 n'est pas total. En effet, il n'est pas nécessaire selon l'invention d'empêcher totalement l'air de pénétrer dans le caisson de porte, il suffit que le flux d'air pénétrant dans le caisson de porte soit suffisamment peu important pour ne pas générer de bruits perceptibles dans l'habitacle. Aussi, le ou les écrans acoustiques 1 1 peuvent être de taille relativement réduite par rapport aux dimensions de l'étrier 7. Par exemple, le ou les écrans acoustiques 1 1 peuvent être dimensionnés pour recouvrir de 50 à 100 %, de préférence de 50 à 70% de la surface de la face arrière de l'étrier 7. L'utilisation d'écrans acoustiques 1 1 de taille réduite par rapport à la taille de l'étrier 7 est avantageuse tant d'un point de vue économique qu'en termes de masse additionnelle qu'ils peuvent présenter pour le véhicule. Selon une mise en œuvre préférée de l'invention, le recouvrement de la face arrière 13 par l'écran ou les écrans 1 1 ne doit cependant pas empêcher l'écoulement de l'eau à l'intérieur de la porte 3. En effet, lors d'une pluie notamment, de l'eau est susceptible de pénétrer dans la commande d'ouverture 1 extérieure et ne doit pas y stagner. A cet effet, et comme il est représenté dans l'exemple de la figure 3, la fixation de l'écran ou des écrans 1 1 acoustiques peut être faite de façon discontinue. Par exemple, les rubans adhésifs peuvent être espacés de manière à laisser au moins un interstice 15 entre l'écran ou les écrans 1 1 acoustiques et la face arrière de l'étrier 7. Lorsque la fixation de l'écran et faite par collage, le fil de colle est interrompu par endroits. La taille de ce ou ces interstices 15 est bien entendu choisie pour autoriser le passage de gouttes d'eau. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the rear face covering of the stirrup 7 is not total. Indeed, it is not necessary according to the invention to completely prevent air from entering the door box, it is sufficient that the air flow entering the door box is sufficiently small to not generate noticeable noises in the cabin. Also, the acoustic screen or screens 1 1 may be relatively small in size compared to the dimensions of the stirrup 7. For example, the acoustic screen or screens 1 1 may be sized to cover 50 to 100%, preferably 50 at 70% of the surface of the rear face of the stirrup 7. The use of acoustic screens 1 1 of reduced size compared to the size of the stirrup 7 is advantageous both from an economic point of view and in terms of the additional mass they can present for the vehicle. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the covering of the rear face 13 by the screen or the screens 1 1, however, must not prevent the flow of water inside the door 3. Indeed during a rain in particular, water is likely to enter the outer opening control 1 and must not stagnate therein. For this purpose, and as shown in the example of Figure 3, the attachment of the screen or 1 1 acoustic screens can be made discontinuously. For example, the adhesive tapes may be spaced so as to leave at least a gap 15 between the screen or the acoustic screens 1 1 and the rear face of the stirrup 7. When the screen is attached and made by gluing, the glue line is interrupted in places. The size of this or these interstices 15 is of course chosen to allow the passage of drops of water.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur la figure 2, on peut voir que la commande d'ouverture extérieure 1 présente un verrou 17 qui fait saillie sur la surface de la face arrière de l'étrier 7. Préférentiellement, le verrou 17 va traverser au moins un écran acoustique 1 1 . A cette fin, l'écran 1 1 comprend avantageusement une zone prédécoupée ou comprend une zone frangible destinée à être percée par le verrou 17 de ladite commande lors de l'assemblage de l'écran 1 1 sur l'étrier 7. La présence d'une telle zone frangible ou prédécoupée permet d'utiliser le même modèle d'écran acoustique 1 1 que la commande d'ouverture 1 soit une commande d'ouverture extérieure avec verrou 17 ou sans. Lorsque la commande d'ouverture extérieure 1 ne comprend pas de verrou, l'écran acoustique 1 1 n'est pas percé lors de sa fixation sur l'étrier 7. Sur la figure 2, l'écran acoustique 1 1 présentait une zone prédécoupée en étoile avant d'être traversée par le verrou 17. En absence de verrou, la zone frangible ou prédécoupée s'oppose au passage du flux d'air vers l'intérieur du caisson de porte. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 2, it can be seen that the external opening control 1 has a latch 17 which protrudes from the surface of the rear face of the stirrup 7. Preferably, the latch 17 will cross at least one acoustic screen 1 1. To this end, the screen 1 1 advantageously comprises a pre-cut area or comprises a frangible zone intended to be pierced by the lock 17 of said control during the assembly of the screen 1 1 on the stirrup 7. The presence of such a frangible or pre-cut zone makes it possible to use the same acoustic screen model 1 1 as the opening control 1 is an external opening control with latch 17 or without. When the external opening control 1 does not include a lock, the acoustic screen 1 1 is not pierced when it is attached to the stirrup 7. In FIG. 2, the acoustic screen 1 1 has a pre-cut zone in star before being crossed by the latch 17. In the absence of lock, the frangible or pre-cut zone opposes the passage of the air flow towards the interior of the door box.
Par ailleurs, la commande d'ouverture peut également comprendre des éléments mobiles sur sa face arrière tels que par exemple un câble (non représenté) faisant la liaison entre la poignée et le système d'ouverture de la porte. Ce câble longe l'étrier dans une ouverture longitudinale avant de ressortir à surface de la face arrière. De manière à ne pas empêcher le bon fonctionnement du mécanisme d'ouverture de la porte, le mouvement de ce câble ne doit pas être gêné par l'écran ou les écrans acoustiques. Ainsi, de préférence, le ou les écrans acoustiques 1 1 sont configurés et positionnés de manière à contourner ladite zone dans laquelle le câble peut se mouvoir. On comprendra qu'en évitant une telle zone, le ou les écrans acoustiques 1 1 ne peuvent pas assurer une étanchéité totale empêchant tout flux d'air de traverser l'étrier. L'invention est remarquable en ce qu'elle propose un compromis entre les besoins de liberté de mouvement de certains éléments de la commande et le fait de s'opposer à l'entrée d'air dans le caisson de porte, compromis selon lequel elle limite le flux d'air entrant dans le caisson de porte suffisamment pour qu'il ne génère plus de bruits audibles dans l'habitacle. Furthermore, the opening control can also comprise movable elements on its rear face such as for example a cable (not shown) connecting the handle and the door opening system. This cable runs along the stirrup in a longitudinal opening before emerging on the surface of the rear face. In order not to prevent the proper functioning of the door opening mechanism, the movement of this cable must not be impeded by the screen or the acoustic screens. Thus, preferably, or acoustic screens 1 1 are configured and positioned to circumvent said area in which the cable can move. It will be understood that by avoiding such a zone, the acoustic screen or screens 1 1 can not ensure a complete seal preventing any flow of air through the stirrup. The invention is remarkable in that it proposes a compromise between the needs for freedom of movement of certain elements of the control and the fact of opposing the entry of air into the door box, compromise according to which it limits the amount of air entering the door box so that it no longer generates audible noises in the passenger compartment.
Le montage du ou des écrans 1 1 acoustiques sur la commande d'ouverture 1 peut se faire lors du montage de la commande d'ouverture 1 sur la porte 3 par un opérateur, n'impliquant pas de modification de la chaîne de production des commandes d'ouverture 1 . The mounting of the acoustic display (s) 1 1 on the opening control 1 can be done during the assembly of the opening command 1 on the door 3 by an operator, not involving any modification of the production line of the controls. opening 1.
La forme de l'écran ou des écrans acoustiques 1 1 est choisie pour cloisonner efficacement les ouvertures de face arrière 13 de l'étrier 7 responsables du passage du flux d'air. A cet effet, le ou les écrans acoustiques 1 1 sont plaqués contre la face arrière 13 et en épousent les formes. The shape of the screen or acoustic screens 1 1 is chosen to efficiently partition the rear face openings 13 of the stirrup 7 responsible for the passage of the air flow. For this purpose, or acoustic screens 1 1 are pressed against the rear face 13 and marry the shapes.
Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le ou au moins un écran acoustique 1 1 est formé en un matériau isolant sélectionné dans le groupe comprenant les polyesters, les polyéthylènes (PE), les polypropylènes (PP), les polystyrènes (PS), les polyamides (PA), les chlorures de polyvinyle (PVC), les copolymères éthylène-acétate de vinyle (EVA). In one embodiment of the invention, the at least one acoustic screen 1 1 is formed of an insulating material selected from the group comprising polyesters, polyethylenes (PE), polypropylenes (PP), polystyrenes (PS) polyamides (PA), polyvinyl chlorides (PVC), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (EVA).
Afin de s'opposer efficacement au passage d'un flux d'air, le ou les écrans acoustiques en matériau isolant doivent présenter une épaisseur et une densité suffisante. A cette fin, l'homme du métier aura avantage à ce que l'écran 1 1 ou les écrans acoustiques présentent une épaisseur d'au moins 2 mm et une densité d'au moins 250 g/m2. Selon une mise en œuvre préférée de l'invention, au moins un écran acoustique 1 1 est formé en un matériau plastique présentant des propriétés élastiques, de préférence un élastomère choisi parmi un terpolymère d'éthylène de propylène et d'un diène (EPDM) ou un élastomère thermoplastique (TPE) ou un latex. Cette caractéristique de l'écran lui permet de présenter une double fonction. D'une part il s'oppose à l'entrée d'air dans le caisson et d'autre part il amortit les chocs pouvant survenir lorsque la porte latérale est fermée violement alors que la vitre est baissée. Dans un tel cas, la vitre peut osciller et heurter la commande d'ouverture extérieure générant un bruit. L'écran acoustique va donc amortir ce choc et le bruit en résultant. In order to effectively oppose the passage of an air flow, the acoustic barrier (s) made of insulating material must have a thickness and a sufficient density. To this end, the skilled person will have the advantage that the screen 1 1 or the acoustic screens have a thickness of at least 2 mm and a density of at least 250 g / m 2 . According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one acoustic screen 1 1 is formed of a plastic material having elastic properties, preferably an elastomer selected from a terpolymer of ethylene propylene and a diene (EPDM) or a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or a latex. This characteristic of the screen allows it to present a dual function. On the one hand it opposes the entry of air into the box and on the other hand it dampens shocks that can occur when the side door is closed violently while the window is lowered. In such a case, the glass can oscillate and strike the external opening control generating a noise. The acoustic screen will therefore dampen the shock and the resulting noise.
Ceci est illustré sur la figure 4, où l'on peut voir que la vitre 19 de la porte 3 latérale se présente à proximité de la face arrière de l'étrier 7. Le claquement de la porte 3 entraine une oscillation légère de la vitre 19 dans le sens transversal de la porte 3, générant un bruit lorsqu'elle entre en contact avec la commande d'ouverture 1 extérieure de porte. This is illustrated in Figure 4, where it can be seen that the window 19 of the side door 3 is near the rear face of the yoke 7. The slamming of the door 3 causes a slight oscillation of the window 19 in the transverse direction of the door 3, generating a noise when it comes into contact with the external door opening control 1.
Lorsque plusieurs écrans acoustiques sont présents, ceux-ci peuvent être tous en matériau isolant ou absorbant ou bien présenter une répartition de chacun. L'écran acoustique ou chaque écran acoustique peut également comprendre plusieurs couches de matériaux isolants et absorbants. Selon un exemple de réalisation non représenté, au moins un écran acoustique se présente sous forme d'une feuille bicouche comprenant une couche en matériau isolant et une couche en matériau élastique, de préférence la couche en matériau isolant est disposée en regard de la face arrière de l'étrier. When several acoustic screens are present, they can all be made of insulating or absorbent material or have a distribution of each. The acoustic screen or each acoustic screen may also include several layers of insulating and absorbent materials. According to an embodiment not shown, at least one acoustic screen is in the form of a bilayer sheet comprising a layer of insulating material and a layer of elastic material, preferably the layer of insulating material is disposed opposite the rear face of the stirrup.
