Les mesures de l'invention sont intéressantes en ce que le dispositif de commande d'ouverture extérieure d'ouvrant de véhicule automobile comprend une unité de commande de l'actionneur configurée pour modifier l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée en cas de détection de blocage de la poignée. L'unité de commande va adapter la commande de l'actionneur en fonction de la position de blocage de la poignée. Ainsi, l'unité de commande augmente l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée lorsque la poignée est bloquée dans une position de départ déployée ou rétractée et, en cas d'échec de déblocage de la poignée, va répéter l'augmentation de l'effort. Ce fonctionnement de l'unité de commande va permettre de procéder au déblocage de la poignée lorsque celle-ci est légèrement bloquée dans une position de départ déployée ou rétractée.

L'unité de commande est également configurée pour annuler ou inverser l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée en cas de détection de blocage de la poignée dans une position intermédiaire, ce qui peut notamment arriver lorsque la poignée rencontre un obstacle sur sa trajectoire. Dans ce cas, l'invention permet de limiter les dégradations sur la poignée lorsque celle-ci est bloquée dans son déplacement par un obstacle. Enfin, l'invention permet également de protéger les mains d'un utilisateur contre les pincements, ce qui peut arriver lors qu'une personne laisse ses doigts sur la poignée et que celle-ci se rétracte. The measurements of the invention are interesting in that the outer opening control device of a motor vehicle opening comprises a control unit of the actuator configured to modify the force of the actuator on the handle in case of lock detection of the handle. The control unit will adapt the control of the actuator according to the locking position of the handle. Thus, the control unit increases the effort of the actuator on the handle when the handle is locked in a deployed start position or retracted and, in case of failure to release the handle, will repeat the increase of the effort. This operation of the control unit will enable the unlocking of the handle when it is slightly blocked in a deployed or retracted start position. The invention thus limits the interventions on the vehicle in case of slight blockage of the handle. The control unit is also configured to cancel or reverse the force of the actuator on the handle in case of detection of blockage of the handle in an intermediate position, which can occur in particular when the handle encounters an obstacle on its trajectory . In this case, the invention limits damage to the handle when it is blocked in its movement by an obstacle. Finally, the invention also protects a user's hands against pinching, which can happen when a person leaves his fingers on the handle and that it retracts.

These handles are flush-type handles, also referred to as the Anglo-Saxon "flush".
La figure 2 représente une vue en coupe schématique du dispositif 4 de commande d'ouverture extérieure de la figure 1 . La poignée 6 est montée pivotante sur le support 8, à une extrémité de la poignée, autour d'un axe de rotation 10, de manière à pivoter entre les positions déployée et rétractée. La poignée 6 est représentée en position rétractée 61 et en position déployée 62. FIG. 2 represents a schematic sectional view of the external opening control device 4 of FIG. 1. The handle 6 is pivotally mounted on the support 8, at one end of the handle, about an axis of rotation 10, so as to pivot between the extended and retracted positions. The handle 6 is shown in the retracted position 6 1 and in the deployed position 6 2 .
La figure 3 représente une vue arrière détaillée du dispositif 4 de commande d'ouverture extérieure représenté aux figures 1 et 2. La poignée n'est pas représentée, seul un support 12 de poignée est représenté. Le dispositif 4 de commande comprend un actionneur électrique 14 de la poignée. L'actionneur électrique 14 est fixé sur le support 8 du dispositif 4 de commande. L'actionneur électrique 14 peut par exemple être un moteur électrique configuré pour entraîner un levier mobile 16 relié au support de poignée 12 afin de procéder au déplacement de la poignée. L'axe de rotation du levier 16 est représenté en pointillé. L'actionneur 14 exerce donc un effort sur la poignée afin de la déplacer entre les positions rétractée et déployée. Figure 3 shows a detailed rear view of the external opening control device 4 shown in Figures 1 and 2. The handle is not shown, only a handle support 12 is shown. The control device 4 comprises an electric actuator 14 of the handle. The electric actuator 14 is fixed on the support 8 of the control device 4. The electric actuator 14 may for example be an electric motor configured to drive a movable lever 16 connected to the handle support 12 to move the handle. The axis of rotation of the lever 16 is shown in phantom. The actuator 14 therefore exerts a force on the handle to move it between the retracted and deployed positions.
Le dispositif 4 de commande d'ouverture extérieure de l'ouvrant comprend en outre une unité de commande 18 de l'actionneur configurée pour commander l'actionneur 14 de la position rétractée à la position déployée de la poignée et inversement, en réponse à un signal de commande. L'unité de commande 18 envoie des instructions à l'actionneur 14 afin de déplacer la poignée. The outer opening opening control device 4 further comprises a control unit 18 of the actuator configured to control the actuator 14 from the retracted position to the extended position of the handle and vice versa, in response to a control signal. The control unit 18 sends instructions to the actuator 14 to move the handle.
L'unité de commande 18 de l'invention est configurée pour, lors de la commande de l'actionneur 14, détecter un blocage de la poignée et, en présence de ladite détection, modifier l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée et/ou émettre un signal de défaut. The control unit 18 of the invention is configured, when controlling the actuator 14, to detect a blockage of the handle and, in the presence of said detection, to modify the force of the actuator on the handle and / or issue a fault signal.
Dans le cas où l'actionneur électrique 14 est un moteur électrique, l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée est modifié en modifiant le couple du moteur. In the case where the electric actuator 14 is an electric motor, the force of the actuator on the handle is changed by changing the motor torque.
Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la détection de blocage de la poignée est basée sur une absence de détection de la poignée dans l'autre des positions déployée et rétractée que celle de départ de la commande de l'actionneur, et ce sur une durée donnée. Ainsi, si l'actionneur 14 déploie la poignée à partir de la position rétractée et que la poignée n'atteint pas la position déployée dans un temps déterminé, un signal de blocage de la poignée va être détecté par l'unité de commande 18. Le dispositif 4 de commande d'ouverture peut comprendre un capteur de position (non représenté) de la poignée qui va transmettre le signal de blocage à l'unité de commande 18 de l'actionneur lorsque que ledit capteur ne détecte pas la présence de la poignée dans l'autre des positions déployée et rétractée que celle de départ de la commande de l'actionneur, et ce sur une durée donnée comme précédemment mentionné. De même, si à l'expiration de la durée donnée, le capteur détecte la présence de la poignée dans la position de départ de la commande de l'actionneur, ledit capteur enverra à l'unité de commande un signal de blocage de la poignée dans la position de départ. Dans le cas contraire, si à l'expiration de la donnée durée, le capteur ne détecte pas la présence de la poignée dans la position de départ de la commande de l'actionneur, celui-ci enverra à l'unité de commande un signal de blocage de la poignée dans une position intermédiaire. La figure 4 illustre un logigramme d'un procédé de commande mis en œuvre par l'unité de commande de l'invention en cas de détection de blocage de la poignée. L'étape 100 correspond à une position de départ rétractée ou déployée de la poignée. En réponse à un signal de commande, l'unité de commande commande l'actionneur, étape 102. L'actionneur applique un effort afin de déployer ou rétracter la poignée. Lorsque l'unité de commande détecte un blocage et que ce blocage correspond à un blocage de la poignée dans une des positions déployée et rétractée correspondant à une position de départ de la commande de l'actionneur, étape 104, la modification de l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée correspond à une augmentation dudit effort, étape 106. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, l'augmentation de l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée est réalisée par modulation de largeur d'impulsions d'un signal de commande de l'actionneur. According to one embodiment of the invention, the locking detection of the handle is based on an absence of detection of the handle in the other deployed and retracted positions that the starting position of the control of the actuator, and this over a given period. Thus, if the actuator 14 deploys the handle from the retracted position and the handle does not reach the deployed position within a predetermined time, a locking signal of the handle will be detected by the control unit 18. The opening control device 4 may comprise a position sensor (not shown) of the handle which will transmit the blocking signal to the control unit 18 of the actuator when said sensor does not detect the presence of the handle in the other deployed and retracted positions that the starting of the actuator control, and for a given duration as previously mentioned. Similarly, if at the expiration of the given duration, the sensor detects the presence of the handle in the starting position of the control of the actuator, said sensor will send to the control unit a locking signal of the handle in the starting position. Otherwise, if at the expiration of the duration data, the sensor does not detect the presence of the handle in the starting position of the control of the actuator, it will send to the control unit a signal locking the handle in an intermediate position. FIG. 4 illustrates a logic diagram of a control method implemented by the control unit of the invention in the event of detection of locking of the handle. Step 100 corresponds to a retracted or expanded starting position of the handle. In response to a control signal, the control unit controls the actuator, step 102. The actuator applies a force to expand or retract the handle. When the control unit detects a blockage and this blocking corresponds to a locking of the handle in one of the deployed and retracted positions corresponding to a starting position of the control of the actuator, step 104, the modification of the effort of the actuator on the handle corresponds to an increase in said force, step 106. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the increase in the force of the actuator on the handle is achieved by modulating the width of the actuator. pulses of a control signal of the actuator.
Si aucun déblocage de la poignée n'est détecté par l'unité de commande suite à l'augmentation de l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée, étape 108, alors l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée est annulé et appliqué à nouveau, étape 1 10. L'unité de commande est également configurée pour, suite à l'annulation et l'application à nouveau de l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée et en l'absence de détection de déblocage de la poignée, étape 1 12, répéter l'annulation et l'application à nouveau de l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée, étape 1 14. L'application à nouveau de l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée s'étend sur une durée supérieure à 0.5 secondes et/ou inférieure à 5 secondes. L'application à nouveau de l'effort s'étend préférentiellement sur une durée de 1 seconde. If no unlocking of the handle is detected by the control unit following the increase of the effort of the actuator on the handle, step 108, then the effort of the actuator on the handle is canceled and applied again, step 1 10. The control unit is also configured for, following the cancellation and the reapplication of the force of the actuator on the handle and in the absence of unlocking detection of the handle, step 1 12, repeat the cancellation and the application again of the force of the actuator on the handle, step 1 14. The application again of the force of the actuator on the handle s extend over 0.5 seconds and / or less than 5 seconds. The application of the force again preferably extends over a duration of 1 second.
L'unité de commande est configurée pour, suite à l'absence d'une détection de déblocage de la poignée, émettre un signal de défaut. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'unité de commande émet un signal de défaut à un boîtier de servitude intelligent du véhicule automobile (non représenté). Selon le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, le signal de défaut, étape 1 18, est émis suite à l'annulation et l'application à nouveau de l'effort de l'actionneur de l'étape 1 14, en l'absence d'une détection de déblocage de la poignée, étape 1 16. Lorsque le blocage de la poignée détecté correspond à une position intermédiaire de la poignée entre la position déployée et la position rétractée, étape 104', l'unité de commande modifie l'effort de l'actionneur exercé sur la poignée en annulant ledit effort, étape 106", ou en inversant ledit effort, étape 106', afin de revenir à l'une des positions déployée et rétractée de la poignée, correspondant à une position de départ de la commande de l'actionneur, étape 100. L'unité de commande est configurée pour, lors de la détection de blocage de la poignée, émettre un signal de défaut, avantageusement à un boîtier de servitude intelligent du véhicule automobile. L'émission du signal de défaut peut être effectuée après l'annulation ou l'inversion de l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée, étape 108" et étape 108', respectivement. The control unit is configured to, following the absence of a release detection of the handle, issue a fault signal. According to one embodiment of the invention, the control unit sends a fault signal to an intelligent servitude housing of the motor vehicle (not shown). According to the embodiment of FIG. 4, the fault signal, step 1 18, is emitted following the cancellation and the reapplication of the force of the actuator of step 1 14, in the absence of a release detection of the handle, step 1 16. When the locking of the handle detected corresponds to an intermediate position of the handle between the deployed position and the retracted position, step 104 ', the unit of control modifies the force of the actuator exerted on the handle by canceling said force, step 106 ", or by reversing said force, step 106 ', to return to one of the extended and retracted positions of the handle, corresponding to a starting position of the control of the actuator, step 100. The control unit is configured for, during the detection of locking of the handle, emit a fault signal, preferably to an intelligent servitude housing of the motor vehicle The emission of the fault signal can be performed after the cancellation or reversal of the actuator force on the handle, step 108 "and step 108 ', respectively.
Ainsi, dans le cas où l'unité de commande commande, via l'actionneur, le déploiement de la poignée à partir d'une position de départ rétractée et qu'un blocage de la poignée en position intermédiaire est détecté, l'unité de commande inverse l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée de manière à rétracter la poignée. Cette situation est illustrée à la figure 5 où la poignée en cours de déploiement rencontre un obstacle 20, lequel bloque la poignée dans une position intermédiaire 63. A l'inverse, si la poignée est rétractée à partir de la position déployée et qu'un blocage de la poignée en position intermédiaire est détecté par l'unité de commande, l'unité de commande inverse l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée de manière à déployer la poignée afin de faire revenir la poignée à la position de départ de commande de l'actionneur, c'est-à-dire en position déployée. Comme précédemment mentionné, en alternative à l'inversion de l'effort et suite à la détection d'un blocage de la poignée en position intermédiaire, l'unité de commande annule l'effort de l'actionneur sur la poignée afin de maintenir la poignée dans la position intermédiaire. L'unité de commande émet ensuite un signal de défaut. Thus, in the case where the control unit, via the actuator, the deployment of the handle from a retracted starting position and a locking of the handle in the intermediate position is detected, the unit of control reverses the force of the actuator on the handle so as to retract the handle. This situation is illustrated in FIG. 5, in which the handle being deployed encounters an obstacle 20 which blocks the handle in an intermediate position 6 3 . Conversely, if the handle is retracted from the deployed position and a locking of the handle in the intermediate position is detected by the control unit, the control unit reverses the effort of the actuator on the handle so as to deploy the handle to return the handle to the control start position of the actuator, that is to say in the deployed position. As previously mentioned, as an alternative to the reversal of the force and following the detection of a lock of the handle in the intermediate position, the control unit cancels the force of the actuator on the handle to maintain the handle in the intermediate position. The control unit then emits a fault signal.
