- the step equipping this step is movable between two positions, namely a position of use in which it extends horizontally, in order to allow the passengers to climb, as well as a folded position in which is retracted at near the cash register. In its retracted position, the step does not protrude outside the size of the vehicle when the latter is moving.
- Such a folding step is equipped with a drive device, allowing the movement of the step between the aforementioned functional positions.
- this drive device 201 comprises a rotary motor 210, a crankpin 220 mounted on the axis of this motor, a connecting rod 230 which is moved by the crankpin, as well as a set of link 280 driven by this connecting rod.

- Such a drive device includes a step locking function 300, in its retracted position.
- the axis of articulation of the connecting rod on the crankpin is located for example above the right, connecting the axis of the motor and the axis of articulation of the connecting rod on the connection assembly.
- the connecting rod is then moved further, so that its axis is then located below the aforementioned straight line, while the step is slightly displaced downwards. Under these conditions, an arcing of the rod occurs, which leads to a locking of the step. In these conditions, it is impossible to move this step, except to actuate the drive again.
- an objective of the present invention is to remedy, at least partially, the drawbacks of the prior art mentioned above, in particular to offer a compact step.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a self-locking drive device for a step, which allows reliable locking of the step of this step, while ensuring that this step does not protrude outside the overall size of the vehicle. .

- the invention overcomes the prior angular overtravel of walking, which involves the prior art. As explained above, this overtravel comes from the fact that it is necessary, in the known running boards, to first access an intermediate position, namely an unlocked extreme high position of the step, before lowering this slightly last to its locked position. By comparison, the invention allows direct access to an extreme high locked position, through the use of deformable means, without having to adopt an intermediate position.

- the motor 10, of type known in itself, is a rotary motor mounted on the chassis by any suitable fixing means.
- the crank pin 20, also of the conventional type, is secured to the motor output shaft by any suitable means.
- connection assembly 80 firstly comprises a rod 82, articulated on the rod 30. There is also provided a shaft 84, whose main axis A84 extends parallel to that of the engine.
- the link 82 and the shaft 84 are mutually integral, so that they do not have a degree of mutual freedom. To this end, all appropriate conventional means will be used, for example a key 85 as in the example illustrated.
- connection assembly 80 is further equipped with a lever 86, mounted on the shaft 84. These two parts are mutually integral, namely that they do not have a degree of mutual freedom. To this end, a clamping ring 88 is used in the example illustrated.
- the free end of the lever 86, opposite the shaft, is provided with rollers 89 received in the hollow body of the step. In a manner known per se, these rollers 89 are able to bear respectively against the walls of this hollow body, so as to induce the displacement of the step respectively upwards and downwards.
- This connecting rod which constitutes an essential element of the invention, will now be detailed.
- This connecting rod comprises a body 40, as well as a movable member 60 capable of moving relative to the body along the longitudinal axis of the connecting rod.
- the body 40 firstly comprises a base 42, articulated on the crankpin around an axis denoted A40.
- This base is fixed to the crankpin by any appropriate means, in particular using a radial ball joint. Contrary to its articulation on the crankpin, this base forms a clearance 44 for the movable member.
- a stud 46 projecting axially from the seat, defines a bearing surface for elastic means which will be explained in the following.
- the base 42 is extended, opposite its articulation, by a peripheral shaft 48, threaded at its end. The latter receives a cover 50, forming a nut, which is screwed onto the barrel 48 while being hollowed out with a central opening 52.
- the movable member 60 firstly comprises a piston 62, extending through the aforementioned opening 52.
- This piston 62 is articulated on the link 82, around an axis denoted A60.
- This movable member is fixed to the link by any appropriate means, creating a pivot connection.
- the two articulation axes of the connecting rod, A40 and A60 respectively, are mutually parallel while also being parallel to the geometric axis of the engine A10.
- the piston 62 is extended, opposite its articulation axis, by a neck 64.
- This piston and this neck define a peripheral shoulder 66, intended to bear against the cover 50.
- the free end 68 of the neck 64 is able to move axially towards the clearance 44 of the base.
- the housing delimited by the interior walls of the collar 66.
- This housing 70 allows the reception of deformable means, in accordance with the invention.
- deformable means 72 are interposed between the stud 46 and the bottom 71 of the housing 70.
- these deformable means consist of a stack of spring washers, of a type known per se.
- a person skilled in the art can use other types of elastic means.
- F1 the return force generated by the elastic means 72
- F2 the axial force exerted by the link 82 on the rod 30.
- the elastic means tend to return the movable member opposite the body, so that the shoulder 66 bears against the cover 50.
- the connecting rod 30 then has a so-called nominal length, denoted L1, which corresponds to its normal operation.
- the link tends to push the movable member towards the body, so that the free end 68 of the neck is moved in translation towards the clearance 44.
- the length L2 of the connecting rod is reduced compared to its nominal length above.
- the difference between L2 and L1, when L2 corresponds to the minimum stroke of the movable member relative to the body, is typically of the order of a few millimeters.
- the running board further comprises a cam, generally designated by the reference 90, which is mounted on the shaft 12 of the engine.
- C90 the center of this cam, which is located on the geometric axis of the engine.
- this cam 90 is asymmetrical in nature so that it delimits a bulged portion 91, as well as a thinned portion 92.
- this cam comprises a so-called active surface 93 formed by a cylinder portion whose axis coincides with that A10 of the engine.
- This surface 93 which delimits the swollen portion 91, is bordered by two lines 94 and 95, from which extend different flats, delimiting the thinned portion 92.
- the active surface 93 provides a blocking function with respect to the transmission assembly.
- the shaft 84 supports a locking rod 98, intended to cooperate with the locking surface 93 mentioned above.
- This rod 98 and the shaft 84 are mutually integral by embedding, so that they do not have a degree of mutual freedom.
- the free end of the rod, opposite the shaft, receives a roller 99 intended to roll against the abovementioned blocking surface 93.
- the box 2 has a substantially parallelepiped shape.
- 3 and 4 its opposite walls, respectively upper and lower, as well as 5 and 6 its opposite side walls.
- 7 its so-called external front wall, with reference to the passenger compartment of the vehicle, as well as 8 its so-called internal front wall.
- the side wall 5 is hollowed out with a notch 9, through which the shaft 84 extends.
- the outer wall 7 of the box does not protrude relative to the step in its raised position. This is advantageous in terms of compactness, because this box is not located outside the overall size of the vehicle.
- this template is illustrated by a vertical line G made in dashed lines.
- the step 100 is in its lowered position, namely that it allows support for the user.
- the axis A40 of articulation of the body 40 is located opposite the axis A84, relative to the axis A10 of the engine. If you now wish to raise the step, it is to activate the motor in a first direction, so that the crankpin is rotated according to the arrow f1 illustrated on the Figures 11 and 12 . This then causes the corresponding displacement of the rod 82, which in turn induces the pivoting of the connection assembly. The rollers of the lever 86 then bear against the upper wall of the hollow body constituting the step so as to raise the latter, as shown by arrow F100 on the figures 10 to 12 .
- the A40 axis is then aligned on the right D, as shown by this same figure 14 . Then, if the rotation of the motor is continued, this axis A40 passes below this same straight line, as shown in the figure 15 . There is then bracing of the rod 30, assisted by the spring washers 72 working in compression. In this configuration, the surface 93 of the cam 90 abuts against the roller 99 of the rod 98, as shown in the figure 16 . Consequently the rod 98 is immobilized, which is materialized by the crossed arrow F98, which also ensures the overall immobilization of the drive assembly.
- the step is then locked, namely that the rod 30 cannot enter into rotation under the effect of an external action, in particular under the effect of a force exerted on the step and directed downward, except at operate the motor in the opposite direction to that described above.
- the deformation of the spring washers 72 allows the passage between the unlocked intermediate position, illustrated in figure 13 , and the locked position of the figure 15 . Between these two positions, part of the transmission assembly, namely the crank pin 20 and the connecting rod 30, is mobile while the connection assembly 80 is substantially stationary.
- the locking cam 90 has specific advantages. Indeed, it gives satisfactory stability to the transmission assembly, in the locked position of the latter.
- this cam allows the locked position not to be dependent on the elasticity of the connecting rod 30 since the cam is in direct contact, via the roller 99, with the connecting rod 82 actuating the step 100. Consequently, the invention makes it possible to precisely overcome any untimely movement of the step, from its extreme high position.
- FIGS. 22 and 23 illustrate the operation of the connecting rod 230 of the prior art.
- this known connecting rod 230 is rigid, namely that its length is substantially invariant.
- the step 300 can reach its extreme high position only when the axis of articulation of the connecting rod on the crankpin, denoted A240, is located on the right D.
- this connecting rod is not locked stably. Consequently, if it is desired that this connecting rod adopts a locking position, it is necessary to continue to operate the motor, so that the aforementioned axis A240 is located below the straight line D.
- the step 300 has undergone a downward tilt relative to its extreme high position, according to arrow F "300, so that it necessarily protrudes outside the overall size of the vehicle.

Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'entraînement autoverrouillant pour un marchepied appartenant à un véhicule de transport, un marchepied équipé d'un tel dispositif d'entraînement, ainsi qu'un véhicule de transport comprenant au moins un tel marchepied. La présente invention trouve son application à des véhicules de transport, notamment de type train, tramway, métro, trolleybus ou encore bus. Elle vise plus spécifiquement, mais non exclusivement, les trains, en particulier les trains régionaux.The present invention relates to a self-locking drive device for a running board belonging to a transport vehicle, a running board equipped with such a driving device, as well as a transport vehicle comprising at least one such running board. The present invention finds its application to transport vehicles, in particular of the train, tram, metro, trolleybus or bus type. It targets more specifically, but not exclusively, trains, in particular regional trains.
De manière classique certains véhicules de transport sont équipés de marchepieds, visant à faciliter l'accès des voyageurs. En effet les quais, destinés à l'arrêt des véhicules ainsi qu'à la montée et à la descente des voyageurs, se situent souvent à des hauteurs mutuellement différentes, lesquelles sont inférieures à celles des planchers des véhicules. Par conséquent un marchepied permet, dans la position abaissée de la marche qui l'équipe, de disposer d'un appui situé à une hauteur intermédiaire entre le quai et le seuil de l'ouverture d'accès au véhicule. Un tel marchepied trouve également son utilité, dans le cas où le quai est situé à une distance significative de l'ouverture d'accès, selon la direction horizontale.Conventionally, some transport vehicles are equipped with running boards, intended to facilitate access for travelers. Indeed, the platforms, intended for stopping vehicles as well as for getting in and out of travelers, are often located at mutually different heights, which are lower than those of the floors of vehicles. Therefore a step allows, in the lowered position of the step that equips it, to have a support located at an intermediate height between the platform and the threshold of the vehicle access opening. Such a step also finds its utility, in the case where the platform is located at a significant distance from the access opening, in the horizontal direction.
L'invention vise plus particulièrement les marchepieds, de type repliable, en particulier de type rotatif. Dans cet esprit la marche équipant ce marchepied est mobile entre deux positions, à savoir une position d'utilisation dans laquelle elle s'étend de manière horizontale, afin de permettre la montée des voyageurs, ainsi qu'une position repliée dans laquelle est escamotée au voisinage de la caisse. Dans sa position escamotée, la marche ne fait pas saillie hors du gabarit du véhicule lors du déplacement de ce dernier. Un tel marchepied repliable est équipé d'un dispositif d'entraînement, permettant le déplacement de la marche entre les positions fonctionnelles précitées.The invention relates more particularly to the running boards, of the folding type, in particular of the rotary type. In this spirit, the step equipping this step is movable between two positions, namely a position of use in which it extends horizontally, in order to allow the passengers to climb, as well as a folded position in which is retracted at near the cash register. In its retracted position, the step does not protrude outside the size of the vehicle when the latter is moving. Such a folding step is equipped with a drive device, allowing the movement of the step between the aforementioned functional positions.
De manière classique, comme illustré sur la
Un tel dispositif d'entraînement inclut une fonction de verrouillage de la marche 300, dans sa position escamotée. À cet effet, lors de la phase de déplacement de la marche vers le haut, l'axe d'articulation de la bielle sur le maneton se situe par exemple au-dessus de la droite, reliant l'axe du moteur et l'axe d'articulation de la bielle sur l'ensemble de liaison. Lorsque ces trois axes sont alignés, la course axiale de la bielle est maximale et la marche se trouve dans sa position extrême haute. On prévoit alors de déplacer encore la bielle, de sorte que son axe se situe alors au-dessous de la droite précitée, alors que la marche est légèrement déplacée vers le bas. Dans ces conditions, il se produit un arc-boutement de la bielle, qui conduit à un verrouillage de la marche. Dans ces conditions, il est impossible de déplacer cette marche, sauf à actionner à nouveau le dispositif d'entraînement.Such a drive device includes a
Cette solution connue présente cependant certains inconvénients. En effet, dans sa position verrouillée, la marche du marchepied fait saillie, en dehors du gabarit du véhicule. En d'autres termes le volume utile du véhicule, permettant notamment d'accueillir les passagers, se trouverait réduit de manière intempestive si, pour éviter cette saillie, la marche était repliée jusqu'à une position relevée qui l'éloignerait du gabarit.This known solution however has certain drawbacks. Indeed, in its locked position, the step of the step protrudes, outside the size of the vehicle. In other words, the useful volume of the vehicle, making it possible in particular to accommodate passengers, would be inadvertently reduced if, to avoid this protrusion, the step was folded up to a raised position which would move it away from the template.
On connaît par ailleurs, de
Compte tenu de ce qui précède, un objectif de la présente invention est de remédier, au moins partiellement, aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur évoqués ci-dessus, notamment d'offrir un marchepied compact.In view of the above, an objective of the present invention is to remedy, at least partially, the drawbacks of the prior art mentioned above, in particular to offer a compact step.
Un autre objectif de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif d'entraînement autoverrouillant d'un marchepied, qui autorise un verrouillage fiable de la marche de ce marchepied, tout en garantissant que cette marche ne fait pas saillie en dehors du gabarit global du véhicule.Another object of the invention is to provide a self-locking drive device for a step, which allows reliable locking of the step of this step, while ensuring that this step does not protrude outside the overall size of the vehicle. .
Un autre objectif de l'invention est de proposer un tel dispositif d'entraînement autoverrouillant, qui présente une structure globalement voisine de celle utilisée dans l'état de la technique, de sorte qu'elle n'implique pas de surcoût significatif.Another object of the invention is to provide such a self-locking drive device, which has a structure generally close to that used in the prior art, so that it does not involve any significant additional cost.
Selon l'invention, au moins un des objectifs ci-dessus est atteint au moyen d'un dispositif d'entraînement autoverrouillant (1) pour marchepied (1, 100) d'un véhicule de transport, notamment du type train, tramway, métro, bus ou encore trolleybus, ledit marchepied comprenant une marche (100) définissant une surface d'appui (101) pour le pied d'un utilisateur, cette marche (100) étant mobile entre une position extrême haute, ou position relevée, dans laquelle elle vient sensiblement en butée contre la caisse du véhicule, et une position extrême basse, ou position abaissée, dans laquelle elle permet à un utilisateur de prendre appui sur la surface d'appui,
ce dispositif d'entraînement comprenant
un moteur rotatif (10)
un ensemble de transmission (20, 30, 80) apte à être déplacé sous l'effet de la rotation du moteur (10) et apte à activer le déplacement de la marche
ce dispositif d'entraînement étant caractérisé en ce que ledit ensemble de transmission est pourvu de moyens élastiquement déformables (72), permettant audit ensemble de transmission d'occuper une position verrouillée lorsque la marche occupe ladite position extrême haute, ladite position verrouillée ne nécessitant pas une surcourse angulaire préalable de la marche.According to the invention, at least one of the above objectives is achieved by means of a self-locking drive device (1) for the step (1, 100) of a transport vehicle, in particular of the train, tramway, metro type. , bus or even trolleybus, said step comprising a step (100) defining a bearing surface (101) for the foot of a user, this step (100) being movable between an extreme high position, or raised position, in which it comes into substantial abutment against the body of the vehicle, and an extreme low position, or lowered position, in which it allows a user to rest on the bearing surface,
this training device comprising
a rotary motor (10)
a transmission assembly (20, 30, 80) able to be moved under the effect of the rotation of the motor (10) and able to activate the movement of the step
this drive device being characterized in that said transmission assembly is provided with elastically deformable means (72), allowing said transmission assembly to occupy a locked position when the step occupies said extreme high position, said locked position not requiring a prior angular overtravel of the step.
On notera tout d'abord qu'il est du mérite de la Demanderesse d'avoir appréhendé l'origine des inconvénients, liés à l'utilisation des marchepieds connus tels que décrits ci-dessus. En substance la Demanderesse a identifié que, dans l'état de la technique, la marche du marchepied ne peut pas être maintenue dans sa position haute extrême, en toute sécurité. En effet, dans cette position, cette marche n'est pas verrouillée de sorte que, pour la verrouiller, il serait nécessaire de la faire basculer légèrement vers le bas, entraînant son dépassement en dehors du gabarit du véhicule.It should first of all be noted that it is to the credit of the Applicant that it has grasped the origin of the drawbacks linked to the use of the known running boards as described above. In essence, the Applicant has identified that, in the state of the art, the step of the step cannot be maintained in its extreme high position, in complete safety. Indeed, in this position, this step is not locked so that, to lock it, it would be necessary to tilt it slightly downward, causing it to protrude outside the size of the vehicle.
Au contraire l'invention prévoit, grâce à l'utilisation de moyens élastiquement déformables équipant l'ensemble de transmission, que la marche peut être verrouillée de manière fiable, dans sa position extrême haute. Par conséquent, cette marche ne fait pas saillie en dehors du gabarit global du véhicule, tout en garantissant une sécurité satisfaisante. L'invention permet de s'affranchir de la surcourse angulaire préalable de la marche, qu'implique l'art antérieur. Comme explicité ci-dessus cette surcourse provient du fait qu'il est nécessaire, dans les marchepieds connus, d'accéder tout d'abord à une position intermédiaire, à savoir une position extrême haute non verrouillée de la marche, avant de rabaisser légèrement cette dernière vers sa position verrouillée. Par comparaison, l'invention autorise un accès direct à une position extrême haute verrouillée, grâce à l'utilisation des moyens déformables, sans avoir à adopter une position intermédiaire.On the contrary, the invention provides, thanks to the use of elastically deformable means equipping the transmission assembly, that the step can be locked reliably, in its extreme high position. Consequently, this step does not protrude outside the overall size of the vehicle, while ensuring satisfactory safety. The invention overcomes the prior angular overtravel of walking, which involves the prior art. As explained above, this overtravel comes from the fact that it is necessary, in the known running boards, to first access an intermediate position, namely an unlocked extreme high position of the step, before lowering this slightly last to its locked position. By comparison, the invention allows direct access to an extreme high locked position, through the use of deformable means, without having to adopt an intermediate position.
Dans cet esprit, l'invention permet de remédier aux inconvénients explicités ci-dessus, tout en conservant les mêmes fonctionnalités que dans l'art antérieur. En particulier, le dispositif d'entraînement conforme à l'invention intègre une majorité d'éléments mécaniques, qui sont analogues à ceux utilisés dans l'art antérieur.In this spirit, the invention overcomes the drawbacks explained above, while retaining the same functionality as in the prior art. In particular, the drive device according to the invention incorporates a majority of mechanical elements, which are similar to those used in the prior art.

Le marchepied conforme à l'invention, illustré sur les figures annexées, comprend essentiellement une marche repliable, désignée dans son ensemble par la référence 100, ainsi qu'un dispositif d'entraînement autoverrouillant de cette marche, lequel est désigné dans son ensemble par la référence 1. Par ailleurs ce marchepied comprend un caisson 2, destiné à la réception de la plupart des éléments constitutifs du dispositif d'entraînement, comme cela va être détaillé ci-dessous. On notera que, sur les
De manière connue en soi, comme le montre notamment la
La marche est équipée d'un longeron 104, reçu dans le corps creux, qui est équipé de galets 106 à ses deux extrémités. Ces galets tourillonnent dans des haubans 152, articulés sur des montants 154 solidaires de la caisse. Les éléments mécaniques, décrits dans les deux paragraphes ci-dessus, sont de type connu en soi de sorte qu'ils ne seront pas explicités plus en détail. Ils peuvent être remplacés par des éléments mécaniques de structures différentes mais de fonctions analogues, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The step is equipped with a
Comme montré sur les
L'ensemble de liaison 80 comprend tout d'abord une biellette 82, articulée sur la bielle 30. Il est par ailleurs prévu un arbre 84, dont l'axe principal A84 s'étend parallèlement à celui du moteur. La biellette 82 et l'arbre 84 sont mutuellement solidaires, de sorte qu'ils ne possèdent pas de degré de liberté mutuelle. À cet effet, on utilisera tous moyens classiques appropriés, par exemple une clavette 85 comme dans l'exemple illustré.The
L'ensemble de liaison 80 est en outre équipé d'un levier 86, monté sur l'arbre 84. Ces deux pièces sont mutuellement solidaires, à savoir qu'elles ne possèdent pas de degré de liberté mutuelle. À cet effet, on utilise dans l'exemple illustré une bague de serrage 88. L'extrémité libre du levier 86, opposée à l'arbre, est munie de galets 89 reçus dans le corps creux de la marche. De manière connue en soi, ces galets 89 sont aptes à prendre appui respectivement contre les parois de ce corps creux, de manière à induire le déplacement de la marche respectivement vers le haut et vers le bas.The
La bielle 30, qui constitue un élément essentiel de l'invention, va maintenant être détaillée. Cette bielle comprend un corps 40, ainsi qu'un organe mobile 60 susceptible de se déplacer par rapport au corps selon l'axe longitudinal de la bielle.The connecting
Le corps 40 comprend tout d'abord une embase 42, articulée sur le maneton autour d'un axe noté A40. Cette embase est fixée sur le maneton, par tous moyens appropriés, notamment à l'aide d'une rotule radiale. À l'opposé de son articulation sur le maneton, cette embase forme un dégagement 44 pour l'organe mobile. Un plot 46, en saillie axiale par rapport au siège, définit une surface d'appui pour des moyens élastiques qui seront explicités dans ce qui suit. L'embase 42 se prolonge, à l'opposé de son articulation, par un fût périphérique 48, fileté à son extrémité. Ce dernier reçoit un capot 50, formant écrou, qui est vissé sur le fût 48 en étant creusé d'une ouverture centrale 52.The
L'organe mobile 60 comprend tout d'abord un piston 62, s'étendant au travers de l'ouverture précitée 52. Ce piston 62 est articulé sur la biellette 82, autour d'un axe noté A60. Cet organe mobile est fixé sur la biellette par tous moyens appropriés, créant une liaison pivot. Les deux axes d'articulation de la bielle, respectivement A40 et A60, sont mutuellement parallèles tout en étant également parallèles à l'axe géométrique du moteur A10.The
Le piston 62 est prolongé, à l'opposé de son axe d'articulation, par un col 64. Ce piston et ce col définissent un épaulement périphérique 66, destiné à prendre appui contre le capot 50. Par ailleurs, l'extrémité libre 68 du col 64 est apte à se déplacer axialement vers le dégagement 44 de l'embase. On note 70 le logement, délimité par les parois intérieures du col 66.The
Ce logement 70 permet la réception de moyens déformables, conformes à l'invention. Ces moyens déformables 72 sont intercalés entre le plot 46 et le fond 71 du logement 70. Dans l'exemple illustré, ces moyens déformables sont constitués par un empilement de rondelles ressorts, de type connu en soi. Cependant, l'homme du métier pourra utiliser d'autres types de moyens élastiques. À titre de variante non représentée, on peut notamment citer un ressort de compression.This
On note F1 la force de rappel générée par les moyens élastiques 72, ainsi que F2 la force axiale exercée par la biellette 82 sur la bielle 30. Dans le cas où la force F1 est supérieure à la force F2, les moyens élastiques tendent à rappeler l'organe mobile à l'opposé du corps, de sorte que l'épaulement 66 prend appui contre le capot 50. La bielle 30 possède alors une longueur dite nominale, notée L1, qui correspond à son fonctionnement normal.We denote F1 the return force generated by the elastic means 72, as well as F2 the axial force exerted by the
En revanche, si la force F1 est inférieure à la force F2, la biellette tend à repousser l'organe mobile en direction du corps, de sorte que l'extrémité libre 68 du col est déplacée en translation vers le dégagement 44. Dans ce second cas, la longueur L2 de la bielle est réduite par rapport à sa longueur nominale ci-dessus. La différence entre L2 et L1, lorsque L2 correspond à la course minimale de l'organe mobile par rapport au corps, est typiquement de l'ordre de quelques millimètres.On the other hand, if the force F1 is less than the force F2, the link tends to push the movable member towards the body, so that the

La mise en oeuvre du marchepied et de son dispositif d'entraînement, qui ont été décrits ci-dessus, va maintenant être explicitée.The implementation of the running board and its drive device, which have been described above, will now be explained.
On suppose, en référence aux
À un moment donné de la rotation de la marche, cette dernière vient sensiblement en butée contre le châssis, à savoir qu'elle adopte une position dite extrême haute. On note D, sur la
Si on continue à actionner le moteur, la marche ne subit plus aucun déplacement, étant donné qu'elle est en butée contre le châssis. Par ailleurs, l'axe A60 est immobilisé. En revanche, cette rotation du moteur exerce une force F2 qui est supérieure à la force de rappel élastique F1 définie ci-dessus. Par conséquent, cette force tend à comprimer les rondelles ressorts 72 de sorte que la longueur de la bielle diminue, comme cela est visible sur la
L'axe A40 vient alors s'aligner sur la droite D, comme le montre cette même
La marche est alors verrouillée, à savoir que la bielle 30 ne peut pas entrer en rotation sous l'effet d'une action extérieure, en particulier sous l'effet d'une force exercée sur la marche et dirigée vers le bas, sauf à actionner le moteur dans le sens inverse de celui décrit ci-dessus. Comme expliqué ci-dessus, la déformation des rondelles ressorts 72 permet le passage entre la position intermédiaire non verrouillée, illustrée en
L'utilisation de la came de blocage 90 présente des avantages spécifiques. En effet, elle confère une stabilité satisfaisante à l'ensemble de transmission, dans la position verrouillée de ce dernier. En particulier, cette came permet que la position verrouillée ne soit pas dépendante de l'élasticité de la bielle 30 puisque la came est en contact direct, par l'intermédiaire du galet 99, avec la biellette 82 actionnant la marche 100. Par conséquent, l'invention permet de s'affranchir précisément de tout déplacement intempestif de la marche, à partir de sa position extrême haute.The use of the locking
On suppose maintenant que l'on souhaite abaisser la marche 100, à partir de sa position relevée des
Puis, si on continue la mise en rotation du moteur 10, la came se libère du galet 99 au niveau de la ligne 94, à savoir qu'elle n'est plus en contact avec ce galet, comme cela est montré sur la
