Description

VEHICULE COMPRENANT UNE PIECE D'ECLAIRAGE A FIXATION  VEHICLE COMPRISING A FIXING LIGHTING PART
SIMPLIFIEE  SIMPLIFIED
L'invention se rapporte à un véhicule comprenant une pièce d'éclairage à fixation simplifiée. The invention relates to a vehicle comprising a lighting part with simplified fixing.
Sur la plupart des véhicules, les pièces d'éclairages, qui peuvent par exemple être représentées par des feux antibrouillards, des feux de jour ou des clignotants, sont généralement montées avec plusieurs vis. Il en résulte que les procédés de montage de ces pièces d'éclairage sont longs et assez fastidieux, car ils nécessitent autant d'opérations de vissage qu'il n'y a de vis et nécessitent une utilisation répétée d'un outil.  On most vehicles, the lighting parts, which can for example be represented by fog lights, daytime running lights or indicators, are generally mounted with several screws. As a result, the methods of mounting these lighting parts are long and fairly tedious, since they require as many screwing operations as there are screws and require the repeated use of a tool.
Un véhicule selon l'invention comprend une pièce d'éclairage à fixation rapide et facile, et présentant une certaine souplesse.  A vehicle according to the invention comprises a lighting part with quick and easy fixing, and having a certain flexibility.
L'invention a pour objet un véhicule comprenant un élément de structure et une pièce d'éclairage délimitée par un boîtier apte à venir se fixer audit élément de structure.  The subject of the invention is a vehicle comprising a structural element and a lighting part delimited by a housing capable of being fixed to said structural element.
Selon l'invention, le boîtier possède au moins une patte de fixation et un élément de fixation, une zone spécifique de l'élément de structure comportant au moins une encoche d'encastrement et un élément de fixation complémentaire, ladite pièce d'éclairage étant solidarisée à l'élément de structure au moyen d'une insertion de la patte de fixation dans l'encoche d'encastrement et au moyen d'une interaction entre l'élément de fixation et l'élément de fixation complémentaire. Autrement dit, l'insertion de chaque patte de fixation dans une encoche d'encastrement élimine autant de points de fixation par vissage. L'encoche d'encastrement joue le rôle d'un réceptacle, avec ou sans fond, destiné à recevoir la patte de fixation. Avantageusement, la patte de fixation est placée dans l'encoche d'encastrement sans créer de jeu, car il ne faut pas que la pièce d'éclairage ait tendance à vibrer lorsque le véhicule est en phase de roulage. La pièce d'éclairage peut par exemple être constituée par un feu antibrouillard ou un clignotant. La zone spécifique de l'élément de structure sur laquelle vient se fixer la pièce d'éclairage peut, soit faire partie intégrante dudit élément de structure et former avec celui-ci une seule et même pièce, soit constituer une pièce rapportée ayant été préalablement fixée à l'élément de structure. Avantageusement, l'élément de fixation et l'élément de fixation complémentaire interagissent par clippage. Il peut par exemple s'agir d'une interaction de type mâle/femelle. Selon une autre variante de réalisation l'élément de fixation et l'élément de fixation complémentaires, sont deux orifices amenés à se superposer pour permettre le passage d'une vis de fixation. L'interaction entre l'élément de fixation et l'élément de fixation complémentaire peut être soit directe sans élément intermédiaire, soit indirecte avec la présence d'un élément intermédiaire pouvant par exemple être une vis. According to the invention, the housing has at least one fixing lug and a fixing element, a specific zone of the structural element comprising at least one embedding notch and a complementary fixing element, said lighting part being secured to the structural element by means of an insertion of the fixing lug into the embedding notch and by means of an interaction between the fixing element and the complementary fixing element. In other words, the insertion of each fixing lug into a recessing slot eliminates as many fixing points by screwing. The embedding notch plays the role of a receptacle, with or without bottom, intended to receive the fixing lug. Advantageously, the fixing lug is placed in the embedding notch without creating a clearance, since the lighting part must not tend to vibrate when the vehicle is in the running phase. The lighting part can for example be constituted by a fog light or a flashing light. The specific area of the structural element on which the lighting part is fixed can either be an integral part of said structural element and form therewith a single piece, or constitute an attached part having been previously attached to the structural element. Advantageously, the fixing element and the complementary fixing element interact by clipping. It may for example be a male / female type interaction. According to another alternative embodiment, the fixing element and the complementary fixing element are two orifices brought to overlap to allow the passage of a fixing screw. The interaction between the fixing element and the complementary fixing element can be either direct without an intermediate element, or indirect with the presence of an intermediate element which can for example be a screw.
De façon préférentielle, l'élément de fixation et l'élément de fixation complémentaire sont deux orifices amenés à se superposer pour permettre le passage d'une vis de fixation. Preferably, the fixing element and the complementary fixing element are two orifices brought to overlap to allow the passage of a fixing screw.
Avantageusement, le boîtier comporte deux pattes de fixation placées côte à côte et une extension comprenant l'élément de fixation, la zone spécifique de l'élément de structure possédant deux encoches d'encastrement destinées chacune à recevoir une patte de fixation. Le fait de posséder deux points d'ancrage distincts permet d'empêcher la pièce d'éclairage de pivoter une fois montée. Le terme « placées côte à côte » signifie que lesdites pattes sont placées l'une à côté de l'autre, de façon à avoir la même orientation. Advantageously, the housing comprises two fixing lugs placed side by side and an extension comprising the fixing element, the specific zone of the structural element having two mounting notches each intended to receive a fixing lug. Having two separate anchoring points prevents the lighting part from pivoting when mounted. The term "placed side by side" means that said legs are placed one next to the other, so as to have the same orientation.
De façon préférentielle, les deux pattes de fixation sont implantées sur un premier bord du boîtier, l'extension saillant d'un deuxième bord dudit boîtier qui est opposé audit premier bord. Autrement dit, les deux pattes de fixation et l'extension s'étendent selon une même direction, mais dans des sens opposés. Preferably, the two fixing lugs are located on a first edge of the housing, the protruding extension of a second edge of said housing which is opposite to said first edge. In other words, the two fixing lugs and the extension extend in the same direction, but in opposite directions.
Préférentiellement, l'extension du boîtier présente un système de détrompage permettant de placer correctement le boîtier contre l'élément de structure avant son montage dans celui-ci. En effet, dans l'optique de simplifier et d'accélérer le procédé de montage de la pièce d'éclairage sur l'élément de structure, un système de détrompage solidarisé au boîtier au niveau de l'extension, empêche de mal positionner le boîtier sur l'élément de structure et donc de réaliser une mauvaise fixation de la pièce d'éclairage sur l'élément de structure. Preferably, the extension of the housing has a keying system allowing the housing to be placed correctly against the structural element before it is mounted therein. Indeed, in order to simplify and speed up the process of mounting the lighting part on the structural element, a keying system secured to the housing at the level of the extension, prevents the housing from being positioned incorrectly on the structural element and therefore to achieve poor fixing of the lighting part on the structural element.
De façon avantageuse, l'extension est allongée, le système de détrompage étant constitué par une barre s'étendant perpendiculairement à un axe longitudinal de ladite extension et saillant des deux côtés de ladite extension de façon dissymétrique. Par la présence de cette barre, l'extension à un profil dissymétrique et ne peut être introduite que dans un sens dans la zone spécifique de l'élément de structure. Advantageously, the extension is elongated, the keying system being constituted by a bar extending perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said extension and projecting on both sides of said extension asymmetrically. By the presence of this bar, the extension to an asymmetrical profile and can only be introduced in one direction in the specific zone of the structural element.
Avantageusement, chaque encoche d'encastrement est assimilable à un étrier présentant une ouverture dans laquelle vient s'insérer une patte de fixation. Cet étrier peut posséder un fond contre lequel vient en appui la patte de fixation, ou ne pas posséder de fond et dans ce dernier cas, ladite patte de fixation est bloquée par une bride dudit étrier enserrant étroitement ladite patte de fixation. Advantageously, each embedding notch can be likened to a stirrup having an opening in which a fixing lug is inserted. This stirrup can have a bottom against which the fixing lug abuts, or not have a bottom and in the latter case, said fixing lug is blocked by a flange of said stirrup tightly enclosing said fixing lug.
De façon préférentielle, la patte de fixation possède des dimensions sensiblement égales à celles de l'encoche d'encastrement de manière à ce que ladite patte de fixation puisse être insérée dans l'encoche d'encastrement sans induire de jeu. En effet, une telle configuration permet d'empêcher la patte de fixation de se déplacer dans l'encoche d'encastrement et donc d'empêcher la pièce d'éclairage de vibrer dans le véhicule. Preferably, the fixing lug has dimensions substantially equal to those of the embedding notch so that said fixing lug can be inserted into the embedding notch without inducing play. such a configuration makes it possible to prevent the fixing lug from moving in the embedding notch and therefore to prevent the lighting part from vibrating in the vehicle.
Préférentiellement, l'élément de structure est un bouclier et la pièce d'éclairage est un feu antibrouillard. Preferably, the structural element is a shield and the lighting part is a fog light.
De façon avantageuse, la zone spécifique sur laquelle vient se fixer la pièce d'éclairage est une pièce rapportée qui a été préalablement fixée à l'élément de structure, ladite pièce rapportée comprenant au moins une encoche d'encastrement et l'élément de fixation complémentaire. De cette manière, il est plus facile d'usiner cette pièce rapportée pour lui donner la taille et les dimensions voulues par rapport à la pièce d'éclairage à fixer, que l'élément de structure du véhicule. L'invention a pour autre objet un procédé de montage d'une pièce d'éclairage sur un élément de structure d'un véhicule conforme à l'invention. Advantageously, the specific area on which the lighting part is fixed is an insert which has been previously fixed to the structural element, said insert comprising at least one embedding notch and the fixing element. complementary. In this way, it is easier to machine this insert to give it the desired size and dimensions relative to the lighting part to be fixed, than the structural element of the vehicle. Another subject of the invention is a method of mounting a lighting part on a structural element of a vehicle according to the invention.
Selon l'invention, le procédé comprend les étapes suivantes : According to the invention, the method comprises the following steps:
- Une étape d'insertion de chaque patte de fixation du boîtier de la pièce d'éclairage dans une encoche d'encastrement de la zone spécifique de l'élément de structure, - A step of inserting each fixing lug of the housing of the lighting piece into a recess in the specific area of the structural element,
- Une étape de pivotement du boîtier d'éclairage vers l'élément de structure jusqu'à ce que l'élément de fixation et l'élément de fixation complémentaire viennent au contact l'un de l'autre, A step of pivoting the lighting unit towards the structural element until the fixing element and the complementary fixing element come into contact with one another,
- Une étape d'interaction entre ledit moyen de fixation et ledit moyen de fixation complémentaire pour arrimer la pièce d'éclairage à la zone spécifique de l'élément de structure. - An interaction step between said fixing means and said complementary fixing means to secure the lighting piece to the specific area of the structural element.
Il suffit donc de placer chaque patte de fixation dans une encoche d'encastrement de la zone spécifique de l'élément de structure, puis de faire pivoter le boîtier autour d'un axe fictif constitué par la patte de fixation insérée dans l'encoche, jusqu'à faire interagir l'élément de fixation avec l'élément de fixation complémentaire.  It is therefore sufficient to place each fixing lug in a recess for embedding the specific area of the structural element, then to rotate the housing around a fictitious axis constituted by the fixing lug inserted in the notch, until the fastener interacts with the complementary fastener.
Un véhicule selon l'invention présente l'avantage de pouvoir être rapidement et facilement monté grâce à la configuration particulière de l'interface de fixation entre la pièce d'éclairage et la zone spécifique de l'élément de structure. Il a de plus l'avantage de pouvoir être monté avec une certaine souplesse, grâce à la présence d'une pièce d'interface rapportée qui a été préalablement fixée à l'élément de structure, et qu'il est facile d'usiner pour lui attribuer une forme et des dimensions particulières.  A vehicle according to the invention has the advantage of being able to be quickly and easily mounted thanks to the particular configuration of the fixing interface between the lighting part and the specific area of the structural element. It also has the advantage of being able to be mounted with a certain flexibility, thanks to the presence of an attached interface part which has been previously fixed to the structural element, and which is easy to machine for give it a particular shape and dimensions.

Le dispositif d'inclinaison 16 comporte une première roue dentée 19 et une deuxième roue dentée 20 interagissant par engrènement, la mise en rotation dans un sens de la première roue 19, entraînant alors une mise en rotation en sens inverse de la deuxième roue 20. La mise en rotation de la deuxième roue 20 dans un sens ou dans l'autre, sous l'effet de la rotation de la première roue 19, génère une inclinaison vers le haut ou vers le bas du feu antibrouillard 1. Referring to Figures 1 and 6, the fog light 1 schematically comprises a housing 13 containing a light source, a front face 14, a rear face 15 and a tilting device 16 of said light 1. The front face 14 has a wall transparent of substantially rectangular shape, and intended to diffuse the light emitted by the light source housed in the housing 13. The tilting device 16 comprises a first toothed wheel 19 and a second toothed wheel 20 interacting by meshing, the rotation in one direction of the first wheel 19, then causing a rotation in opposite direction of the second wheel 20. The rotation of the second wheel 20 in one direction or the other, under the effect of the rotation of the first wheel 19, generates an upward or downward inclination of the fog light 1.
En se référant aux figures 1, 2, 4, 5 et 6 le boîtier 13 comprend deux pattes de fixation 21, 22 implantées sur un premier bord dudit boîtier 13, et une extension 23 implantée sur un deuxième bord de ce boîtier 13. Le premier bord et le deuxième bord sont sensiblement parallèles et opposés au sein du boîtier 13. Les pattes de fixation 21, 22 et l'extension 23 s'étendent dans la même direction mais dans des sens opposés. Les deux pattes de fixation 21, 22 sont identiques et présentent chacune une extrémité libre possédant deux bords latéraux inclinés 24 reliés par un bord terminal 25, dont la longueur est inférieure à la largeur de la patte de fixation 21, 22.  Referring to Figures 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 the housing 13 comprises two fixing lugs 21, 22 implanted on a first edge of said housing 13, and an extension 23 implanted on a second edge of this housing 13. The first edge and the second edge are substantially parallel and opposite within the housing 13. The fixing lugs 21, 22 and the extension 23 extend in the same direction but in opposite directions. The two fixing lugs 21, 22 are identical and each have a free end having two inclined lateral edges 24 connected by a terminal edge 25, the length of which is less than the width of the fixing lug 21, 22.
En se référant à la figure 2, l'extension 23 est une bande de matière de forme sensiblement rectangulaire et de faible épaisseur, possédant un orifice 26 traversant, de forme circulaire ayant sensiblement le même diamètre que celui de l'orifice 7 de la zone supérieure 4 de la pièce d'interface 3. L'extension 23 est traversée par une bande de matière secondaire 27, s'étendant perpendiculairement à un axe longitudinal de ladite extension 23 et saillant des deux côtés de celle-ci, de façon dissymétrique.  Referring to Figure 2, the extension 23 is a strip of material of substantially rectangular shape and thin, having a through hole 26, of circular shape having substantially the same diameter as that of the orifice 7 of the zone upper 4 of the interface part 3. The extension 23 is crossed by a strip of secondary material 27, extending perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said extension 23 and projecting on both sides thereof, asymmetrically.
Un procédé de montage d'un feu antibrouillard 1 dans un véhicule conforme à l'invention, comprend les étapes suivantes :  A method of mounting a fog light 1 in a vehicle according to the invention comprises the following steps:
- Une étape de fixation par vissage de la pièce d'interface 3 sur le bouclier 2, A step of fixing by screwing the interface piece 3 to the shield 2,
Une étape de présentation dans une position inclinée du feu antibrouillard 1 devant la pièce d'interface 3, comme illustré à la figure 5. Le terme « position inclinée » signifie que la face avant 14 du boîtier n'est pas inscrite dans un plan vertical, mais dans un plan qui est incliné par rapport audit plan vertical. A step of presenting the fog light 1 in an inclined position in front of the interface part 3, as illustrated in FIG. 5. The term “inclined position” means that the front face 14 of the housing is not inscribed in a vertical plane, but in a plane which is inclined relative to said vertical plane.
- Une étape d'insertion de chaque patte de fixation 21, 22 du boîtier 13 du feu antibrouillard 1 dans une encoche d'encastrement 10 de la zone inférieure 5 de la pièce d'interface 3, ledit feu antibrouillard 1 étant toujours dans une position inclinée, - A step of inserting each fixing lug 21, 22 of the housing 13 of the fog light 1 into a recess notch 10 in the lower zone 5 of the interface piece 3, said fog light 1 still being in a position inclined,
- Une étape de pivotement du feu antibrouillard 1 vers la pièce d'interface 3, jusqu'à ce que l'orifice 26 du boîtier vienne se superposer à l'orifice 7 de la pièce d'interface 3, cette superposition étant effectuée au moyen d'une mise en contact de l'extension 23 avec la bande plane 6 de la zone supérieure 4 de la pièce d'interface 3. Cette mise en contact est facilitée par les éléments de guidage 8 de la pièce d'interface 3 qui vont contribuer à bien positionner l'extension 23. Si le feu antibrouillard 1 était mal positionné, c'est- à-dire s'il était pivoté de 180° par rapport à la position correcte, la nervure 9 de la pièce d'interface 3 empêcherait la bande de matière secondaire 27 de venir au contact de la bande plane 6 de la zone supérieure 4 de la pièce d'interface 3. Pour cette étape, le pivotement du boîtier 13 vers la pièce d'interface 3 s'effectue autour des deux pattes de fixation 21, 22 insérées dans les encoches d'encastrement 10, - A step of pivoting the fog light 1 towards the interface part 3, until the orifice 26 of the housing comes to be superimposed on the orifice 7 of the interface part 3, this superposition being effected by means bringing the extension 23 into contact with the flat strip 6 of the upper zone 4 of the interface piece 3. This contacting is facilitated by the guide elements 8 of the interface piece 3 which go contribute to correctly positioning the extension 23. If the fog light 1 was incorrectly positioned, that is to say if it was pivoted 180 ° relative to the correct position, the rib 9 of the interface part 3 would prevent the strip of secondary material 27 from coming into contact with the planar strip 6 of the upper zone 4 of the interface piece 3. For this step, the pivoting of the housing 13 towards the interface piece 3 takes place around the two fixing lugs 21, 22 inserted in the recessing notches 10,
- Une étape d'insertion d'une vis de fixation dans les deux orifices 7, 26 superposés, pour arrimer le feu antibrouillard 1 à la pièce d'interface 3. - A step of inserting a fixing screw in the two superimposed holes 7, 26, to secure the fog light 1 to the interface part 3.
