Definitions
- 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 document CN104863434 describes 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 opening control. In the cover position, the plate covers the handle, thus reducing the noise of the wind generated when the vehicle is traveling at high speed.
- this solution appears to be complex and requires adapting the external opening controls currently used to implement it. Furthermore, the presence of such a plate can harm the style and aesthetics of the vehicle.
- the documents 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.
- 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 actuated, a gap in the through which air can circulate.
- the sealing means is disposed at the level of this interstice and makes it possible to prevent air from entering the door.
- the document WO 200937187 describes a door handle comprising a sealing profile located between the edge of the rear face of the handle arranged facing the sheet and the outer sheet of the door.
- the subject of the invention is also an acoustic screen for an external side door opening control as defined above, said control comprising a handle and a stirrup, the stirrup comprising a front face and a rear face, the handle being mounted on the front face, said screen being remarkable in that it comprises a frangible or pre-cut zone intended to be pierced by the lock of said control when fixing the screen to the rear face of the bracket when the control has a lock.
- the subject of the invention is also a motor vehicle comprising an external side door opening control as defined above.
- the invention consists in obstructing all or part of the openings present on the rear face of the caliper of a control d 'exterior door opening by one or more acoustic screens, so as to prevent or at least limit the entry of an air flow into the door casing via the door opening control.
- the invention is remarkable for its simplicity and for its adaptability to all types of existing opening controls.
- the opening control comprises at least one acoustic screen made of elastic material capable of absorbing the noises generated by the possible impact between the window of the door when it is lowered and the resulting external door opening control. with a slam of the door.
- the door opening control 1 has a mechanism for actuating the handle 5 housed in the bracket 7.
- the bracket 7 has an opening opening onto this mechanism and at least one screen 11 is positioned. to obstruct this opening. So that at least one screen 11 is positioned opposite the actuating mechanism of the handle 5.
- the screen 11 or the acoustic screens are attached to the opening control 1.
- the attachment is carried out by any means, and preferably by gluing using glue or adhesive tape.
- the screen or screens 11 are glued to the caliper at their periphery. It is thus possible to close the openings of the caliper only once the external opening control is in place on the door. It is also possible to remove the screen 11 if it is desired to access the elements or mechanisms that it hides.
- the rear face of the caliper 7 is not fully covered. Indeed, it is not necessary according to the invention to completely prevent the air from entering the door box, it suffices that the flow of air entering the door box is sufficiently small not to generate noises perceptible in the passenger compartment.
- the acoustic screen (s) 11 can be relatively small compared to the dimensions of the stirrup 7.
- the acoustic screen (s) 11 can be sized to cover from 50 to 100%, preferably from 50 to 70. % of the area of the rear face of the caliper 7.
- the use of acoustic screens 11 of reduced size compared to the size of the caliper 7 is advantageous both from an economic point of view and in terms of additional mass that they can present for the vehicle.
- the covering of the rear face 13 by the screen or screens 11 must not however prevent the flow of water inside the door 3.
- the fixing of the screen or the acoustic screens 11 can be done discontinuously.
- the adhesive tapes can be spaced so as to leave at least one gap 15 between the screen or the acoustic screens 11 and the rear face of the stirrup 7.
- the glue thread is interrupted in places. The size of this or these interstices 15 is of course chosen to allow the passage of water drops.
- the external opening control 1 has a lock 17 which protrudes on the surface of the rear face of the caliper 7.
- the lock 17 will pass through at least one acoustic screen 11.
- the screen 11 advantageously comprises a pre-cut zone or comprises a frangible zone intended to be pierced by the latch 17 of said control during assembly of the screen 11 on the bracket 7.
- the presence of such a frangible zone or precut makes it possible to use the same model of acoustic screen 11 that the opening control 1 is an external opening control with lock 17 or without.
- the acoustic screen 11 When the external opening control 1 does not include a lock, the acoustic screen 11 is not pierced when it is fixed to the bracket 7.
- the acoustic screen 11 had a pre-cut star-shaped zone before being crossed by the lock 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.
- the opening control may also include movable elements on its rear face such as for example a cable (not shown) making the connection between the handle and the door opening system.
- This cable runs along the caliper in a longitudinal opening before emerging on the surface of the rear face. So as not to prevent the proper functioning of the door opening mechanism, the movement of this cable must not be hampered by the screen or the acoustic screens.
- the acoustic screen or screens 11 are configured and positioned so as to bypass said zone in which the cable can move. It will be understood that by avoiding such a zone, the acoustic screen (s) 11 cannot ensure complete sealing preventing any flow of air from passing through the caliper.
- the invention is remarkable in that it offers 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, a compromise according to which it limits the flow of air entering the door box enough so that it no longer generates audible noises in the passenger compartment.
- the mounting of the acoustic screen (s) 11 on the opening control 1 can be done during the assembly of the opening control 1 on the door 3 by an operator, not involving any modification of the production line of the controls. opening 1.
- the shape of the screen or acoustic screens 11 is chosen to effectively partition the rear face openings 13 of the stirrup 7 responsible for the passage of the air flow.
- the acoustic screen or screens 11 are pressed against the rear face 13 and follow its shapes.
- the acoustic screen or screens made of insulating material must have sufficient thickness and density. To this end, those skilled in the art will benefit from the screen 11 or the acoustic screens having a thickness of at least 2 mm and a density of at least 250 g / m 2 .
- At least one acoustic screen 11 is formed from a plastic material exhibiting elastic properties, preferably an elastomer chosen from a terpolymer of ethylene propylene and a diene (EPDM) or a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or a latex.
- EPDM terpolymer of ethylene propylene and a diene
- TPE thermoplastic elastomer
- This feature of the screen allows it to have a dual function. On the one hand it opposes the entry of air into the box and on the other hand it absorbs the shocks that may occur when the side door is violently closed while the window is lowered. In such a case, the window may oscillate and strike the external opening control generating a noise. The acoustic screen will therefore absorb this shock and the resulting noise.
- acoustic screens When several acoustic screens are present, they can all be made of insulating or absorbent material or else have a distribution of each.
- the acoustic screen or each acoustic screen can also comprise several layers of insulating and absorbent materials.
- at least one acoustic screen is in the form of a two-layer sheet comprising a layer of insulating material and a layer of elastic material, preferably the layer of insulating material is placed facing the rear face. of the caliper.

Description

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 vibration of mechanical elements and the engulfing of air flow in parts of a vehicle are different sources of noise that can become a source of annoyance 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 engulfment of air in the box of the side doors of a vehicle generates noises which reach the passenger compartment through the so-called "slide-licker" junction between the window and the "licker" joints of the vehicle. the side door. It would be interesting to be able to find a solution making it possible to attenuate or eliminate the noise entering the passenger compartment by this route. Unfortunately, the position of the window showing play, it is difficult to resolve this problem by making said “slide-lick” junction acoustically tight.
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 air flow is engulfed in particular via the external door opening control because the junction between the external opening control and the vehicle body is not tight. An effective and economical solution to the diffusion of noise in the passenger compartment from the door casing therefore 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

Si bien qu'au moins un écran 11 est positionné en regard du mécanisme d'actionnement de la poignée 5.In the example illustrated, the
Selon une mise en œuvre préférée, l'écran 11 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 11 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 11 si l'on souhaite accéder aux éléments ou mécanismes qu'il masque.According to a preferred implementation, the
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 11 peuvent être de taille relativement réduite par rapport aux dimensions de l'étrier 7. Par exemple, le ou les écrans acoustiques 11 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 11 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.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the rear face of the
Selon une mise en œuvre préférée de l'invention, le recouvrement de la face arrière 13 par l'écran ou les écrans 11 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
Dans l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur la
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 11 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 11 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 may also include movable elements on its rear face such as for example a cable (not shown) making the connection between the handle and the door opening system. This cable runs along the caliper in a longitudinal opening before emerging on the surface of the rear face. So as not to prevent the proper functioning of the door opening mechanism, the movement of this cable must not be hampered by the screen or the acoustic screens. Thus, preferably, the acoustic screen or screens 11 are configured and positioned so as to bypass said zone in which the cable can move. It will be understood that by avoiding such a zone, the acoustic screen (s) 11 cannot ensure complete sealing preventing any flow of air from passing through the caliper. The invention is remarkable in that it offers 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, a compromise according to which it limits the flow of air entering the door box enough so that it no longer generates audible noises in the passenger compartment.
Le montage du ou des écrans 11 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 chaine de production des commandes d'ouverture 1.The mounting of the acoustic screen (s) 11 on the
La forme de l'écran ou des écrans acoustiques 11 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 11 sont plaqués contre la face arrière 13 et en épousent les formes.The shape of the screen or
Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le ou au moins un écran acoustique 11 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 or at least one
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 11 ou les écrans acoustiques présentent une épaisseur d'au moins 2 mm et une densité d'au moins 250 g/m2.In order to effectively oppose the passage of an air flow, the acoustic screen or screens made of insulating material must have sufficient thickness and density. To this end, those skilled in the art will benefit from the
Selon une mise en œuvre préférée de l'invention, au moins un écran acoustique 11 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.According to a preferred implementation of the invention, at least one
Ceci est illustré sur la
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 else have a distribution of each. The acoustic screen or each acoustic screen can also comprise several layers of insulating and absorbent materials. According to an exemplary embodiment not shown, at least one acoustic screen is in the form of a two-layer sheet comprising a layer of insulating material and a layer of elastic material, preferably the layer of insulating material is placed facing the rear face. of the caliper.
