La présente invention concerne aussi une porte de véhicule automobile équipée d'un tel dispositif de poignée, ainsi qu'un véhicule automobile comprenant une telle porte.The present invention relates to an automobile door handle device provided with electrical components such as a switch, a lighting system, a position sensor, a motion sensor, a proximity sensor, or even a printed circuit. The present invention also relates to a motor vehicle door equipped with such a handle device, as well as a motor vehicle comprising such a door.
De tels composants électriques sont généralement reliés à un ou plusieurs connecteurs via des câbles, afin de communiquer des informations électriques à une unité de contrôle.Such electrical components are generally connected to one or more connectors via cables, in order to communicate electrical information to a control unit.
On connaît dans l'état de la technique antérieure des dispositifs de poignée dans lesquels chaque composant électrique est relié à un connecteur respectif. La multiplicité des composants électriques dans les dispositifs de poignée actuels, et donc la multiplicité de connecteurs correspondants, tend à fragiliser la connectique.Known in the state of the prior art are handle devices in which each electrical component is connected to a respective connector. The multiplicity of electrical components in current handle devices, and therefore the multiplicity of corresponding connectors, tends to weaken the connector technology.
Le document
Les dispositifs de poignée connus dans l'état de la technique antérieure ont notamment pour inconvénient d'exposer les câbles à l'eau susceptible de s'introduire dans la poignée, par exemple en cas d'intempérie, ce qui peut endommager le dispositif de poignée et son fonctionnement.The handle devices known in the state of the prior art have the particular drawback of exposing the cables to water liable to enter the handle, for example in the event of bad weather, which can damage the device. handle and its operation.
La présente invention vise notamment à limiter ce risque et propose à cet effet un dispositif de poignée pour porte de véhicule automobile, ce dispositif comprenant une poignée, un mécanisme de transmission, un actionneur, un ou plusieurs composants électriques et un connecteur tels que définis ci-dessous.The present invention aims in particular to limit this risk and proposes for this purpose a handle device for a motor vehicle door, this device comprising a handle, a transmission mechanism, an actuator, one or more electrical components and a connector as defined above. -below.
La poignée de ce dispositif est mobile entre une position rétractée et une position déployée. Autrement dit, la poignée peut être déplacée de la position rétractée à la position déployée, ou de la position déployée à la position rétractée, ou plus généralement d'une première à une deuxième position, la première et la deuxième position pouvant être la position rétractée ou la position déployée ou toute position intermédiaire entre la position rétractée et la position déployée.The handle of this device is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. In other words, the handle can be moved from the retracted position to the deployed position, or from the deployed position to the retracted position, or more generally from a first to a second position, the first and the second position possibly being the retracted position or the deployed position or any intermediate position between the retracted position and the deployed position.
L'actionneur comprend un moteur électrique et un boîtier abritant ce moteur. Cet actionneur est agencé pour déplacer la poignée entre la position rétractée et la position déployée par l'intermédiaire du mécanisme de transmission.The actuator comprises an electric motor and a casing housing this motor. This actuator is arranged to move the handle between the retracted position and the deployed position via the transmission mechanism.
De manière non limitative, le ou les composants électriques sont choisis parmi un commutateur, un système d'éclairage, un capteur de position, un capteur de mouvement, un capteur de proximité, un circuit imprimé, etc.In a non-limiting manner, the electrical component or components are chosen from a switch, a lighting system, a position sensor, a motion sensor, a proximity sensor, a printed circuit, etc.
Selon l'invention, le connecteur de ce dispositif est monté sur le boîtier, et le moteur et les composants électriques comprennent chacun un câble passant dans le boîtier et étant relié au connecteur dans le boîtier. Ce connecteur permet de communiquer des informations électriques entre, d'une part, le moteur et/ou un ou plusieurs desdits composants électriques et, d'autre part, une unité de contrôle du dispositif de poignée.According to the invention, the connector of this device is mounted on the casing, and the motor and the electrical components each comprise a cable passing through the casing and being connected to the connector in the casing. This connector makes it possible to communicate electrical information between, on the one hand, the motor and/or one or more of said electrical components and, on the other hand, a control unit of the handle device.
Un tel agencement du dispositif de poignée permet de limiter le risque d'endommagement puisque l'extrémité des câbles reliée au connecteur est logée dans le boîtier. Cette extrémité et toute la partie des câbles située dans le boîtier sont en effet protégées par le boîtier, notamment vis-à-vis de l'eau susceptible de s'introduire dans la poignée.Such an arrangement of the handle device makes it possible to limit the risk of damage since the end of the cables connected to the connector is housed in the casing. This end and all of the part of the cables situated in the casing are indeed protected by the casing, in particular vis-à-vis the water liable to enter the handle.
De plus, un tel agencement permet d'améliorer la robustesse de la connectique. Le connecteur est en effet solidaire du boîtier et n'exerce donc aucun effort sur les câbles, notamment avant branchement du connecteur.Moreover, such an arrangement makes it possible to improve the robustness of the connection. The connector is in fact secured to the housing and therefore exerts no force on the cables, in particular before connection of the connector.
De préférence, le connecteur peut comprendre un réceptacle, le boîtier et ce réceptacle étant moulés d'une seule pièce. Cela permet notamment de faciliter la fabrication et/ou d'améliorer encore la robustesse de la connectique.Preferably, the connector may comprise a receptacle, the casing and this receptacle being molded in one piece. This makes it possible in particular to facilitate manufacture and/or to further improve the robustness of the connectors.
Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif de poignée peut comprendre, en tant que composant(s) électrique(s), un capteur de position apte à détecter la position de la poignée et/ou un capteur de mouvement apte à détecter un mouvement d'un doigt ou d'une main d'un utilisateur sur la poignée et/ou un capteur de proximité capacitif apte à détecter une présence d'un utilisateur à proximité de la poignée.In one embodiment, the handle device may comprise, as electrical component(s), a position sensor capable of detecting the position of the handle and/or a motion sensor capable of detecting a movement of a finger or a hand of a user on the handle and/or a capacitive proximity sensor capable of detecting the presence of a user close to the handle.
Selon un autre aspect, l'invention concerne aussi une porte de véhicule automobile comprenant un dispositif de poignée tel que décrit ci-dessus.According to another aspect, the invention also relates to a motor vehicle door comprising a handle device as described above.
Dans un mode de réalisation, la poignée peut être affleurante avec la porte lorsque la poignée est en position rétractée. De préférence, cette poignée affleurante peut être agencée pour empêcher le déplacement de la poignée de la position rétractée à la position déployée, et/ou réciproquement, par actionnement manuel de la poignée lorsque le dispositif fonctionne dans un mode automatique. Bien entendu, dans ce dernier cas, le dispositif peut aussi fonctionner dans un mode manuel, en cas de défaillance du dispositif, par exemple du moteur ou d'une batterie d'alimentation. En mode manuel, la poignée peut être déplacée manuellement de la position rétractée à la position déployée, et vice versa.In one embodiment, the handle may be flush with the door when the handle is in the retracted position. Preferably, this flush handle can be arranged to prevent movement of the handle from the retracted position to the extended position, and/or vice versa, by manual actuation of the handle when the device operates in an automatic mode. Of course, in the latter case, the device can also operate in a manual mode, in case failure of the device, for example of the motor or of a supply battery. In manual mode, the handle can be moved manually from the retracted position to the extended position, and vice versa.
De préférence, la porte peut comporter l'unité de contrôle du dispositif de poignée.Preferably, the door may include the control unit of the handle device.
Selon encore un autre aspect, l'invention concerne aussi un véhicule automobile comprenant une porte telle que définie ci-dessus.According to yet another aspect, the invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising a door as defined above.
Dans un mode de réalisation, ce véhicule peut comprendre une unité centrale de contrôle, cette unité centrale de contrôle comprenant l'unité de contrôle du dispositif de poignée.In one embodiment, this vehicle may comprise a central control unit, this central control unit comprising the handle device control unit.
