According to the embodiment presented on the figure 1 , the lock 7 is positioned vertically above the opening control device 10 but alternatively it could be positioned in any other place of the door 2.
  • the opening control device 10 comprises a support 11, an actuating handle 13 and a member 20 for holding the lock.

  • Field C1 delimits the edge of the panel along which the opening control device 10 is arranged.
  • Field C1 extends in a plane substantially perpendicular to the main plane in which the panel extends. In this case the field C1 extends in a plane perpendicular to the transverse axis Y.
  • the field C1 can for example be formed by a fold substantially at 90° to a side edge of the panel 4.
  • the support 11, or “module 11” is an element fixed to the panel 4 of the door 2. It can comprise a body, advantageously made of plastic, in which are provided means for connecting to the panel 4. These connecting means can be for example clips and/or openings. These openings, possibly threaded, can be intended to cooperate with fasteners such as screws or even rivets.
  • the support 11 notably supports the latch 6 and the actuating handle 13. It notably comprises means for articulating the actuating handle 13. It can also comprise means of mechanical connection between the actuating handle 13 and the lock.
  • the support 11 can furthermore also comprise return means to return the actuating handle 13 to a retracted position after it has been manipulated. The rotation of the holding member 20 locks the lock (mounted from the outside) and completes the attachment of the assembly to the panel 4.
  • the support 11 comprises a first opening O1 arranged around a main axis X1, parallel to the longitudinal axis X.
  • the holding member 20 comprises a second opening O2 arranged around said main axis X1.
  • the openings O1 and O2 can have an at least roughly circular shape.
  • the openings O1 and O2 are concentric, that is to say that their center coincides along a projection parallel to the longitudinal axis X.
  • the holding member 20 is positioned forward relative to the support 11. It is therefore linked to the panel 4 of the door via the support 11.
  • the holding member 20 comprises a ring 30 and a slider 40
  • the ring 30 is articulated in rotation with respect to the support 11 around the main axis X1.
  • Said second opening O2 is formed in the ring 30.
  • the ring 30 is rotatable relative to the support 11 between a first position (illustrated in the picture 2 ) and a second position (shown on the figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the first position is a position in which the lock 6 is free to be inserted through the first opening O1 and the second opening O2.
  • the second position of the ring is a position in which the lock 6 previously inserted through the first opening O1 and the second opening O2 is locked in position.
  • the first position of the ring can be separate from the second position of the ring by an angle comprised between 5° and 120°, in particular comprised between 10° and 60°. In particular, approximately one-eighth of a turn, that is to say approximately 45°, can separate the first position from the second position of the ring.
  • the ring and/or the support may comprise retaining means configured to retain the ring relative to the support along the longitudinal axis X when the ring is in its first position and/or in its second position.
  • the opening control device 10 can be made available as a single piece in the workshop in which it is intended to be assembled with the door element.
  • the rotation of the ring relative to the support between its first and its second position may optionally be accompanied by a translation movement of the ring along the longitudinal axis X, in particular thanks to ramps provided at an interface between the support and the ring.
  • the lock, or barrel, is housed inside the first opening O1 and the second opening O2. It itself comprises an opening for a key extending substantially along the main axis X1.
  • the panel 4 comprises a third opening coinciding with the first opening O1 and with the second opening O2.
  • the panel 4 can comprise a fourth opening through which passes all or part of the actuating handle and/or the means of articulation of the actuating handle.
  • the third opening and the fourth opening may optionally form one and the same opening.
  • the opening control device 10 differs from a so-called "full skin lock” locking system in which the lock is fixed directly through the panel 4 of the door independently of the opening control.
  • the lock is fixed to the door via a support combining different functions, in particular that of supporting an actuating handle.
  • Such an architecture allows easy assembly of the locking system on the door, in a limited number of operations.
  • the actuating handle 13 can be articulated with respect to the support according to a connection in rotation around an axis Z1 parallel to the vertical axis Z, that is to say an axis parallel to the axis around which the carries.
  • a pulling movement on the actuating handle 13 stresses both the mechanism linking the handle to the lock to unlock the lock and participates in the effort required to manipulate the door from its closed position to its open position.
  • Such an actuating handle called “fridge type” therefore allows efficient and rapid opening of the door.
  • the slider 40 is connected to the ring according to a sliding connection parallel to a sliding axis A1.
  • the slider is movable between a first position (illustrated in the picture 3 ) and a second position (shown in the figure 4 ). When it is in its second position, the slider 40 is in abutment against the field C1.
  • the sliding axis A1 is substantially perpendicular to said main axis X1. In other words, the sliding axis A1 extends in a plane parallel to the transverse axis Y and the vertical axis Z, independently of the position of the ring 30.
  • the sliding axis A1 when the ring is in its first position, the sliding axis A1 can form with the transverse axis Y and with the axis vertical Z an angle of approximately 45°. As illustrated on the picture 3 , when the ring is in its second position, the sliding axis A1 may be substantially parallel to the transverse axis Y, that is to say perpendicular to the plane in which the field C1 extends. The slider 40 can slide relative to the ring 30 independently of the position of the latter.
  • the rotation of the ring 30 between its first position and its second position and the translation movement of the slider 40 are carried out only during the assembly of the opening control device on the door of the vehicle, more particularly when the module 11 is already mounted on the door.
  • the slider is intended to be fixed integrally to a door element when the ring is in its second position.
  • the slider 40 comprises a threaded opening 41, extending substantially parallel to the sliding axis A1.
  • the opening 41 cooperates with a screw 42 passing through an opening made through a field C1 of the door to lock the slider.
  • the ring and the slide therefore remain fixed in position relative to the door.
  • the slider could be fixed to the field C1 of the door by a fixing means other than a screw, for example by means of a rivet or even with any fixing means passing through the field C1 of the door.
  • the ring 30 comprises a central part 31, of at least roughly cylindrical shape, in which the second opening O2 is arranged.
  • the ring 30 also includes an appendage 32 extending radially from the central part 31.
  • the central part 31 and the appendage 32 form a single piece.

  • Pusher 34 may extend from central portion 31 in a direction substantially opposite to the direction in which appendix 32 extends. It may comprise at its end 35 a blind cavity, for example in the form of a half-shell, intended to receive the tip of a tool. Pressing the tool on the end 35 makes it possible to exert a force parallel to the arrow F1 which tends to cause the ring to pivot towards its second position.
  • the ring 30 could not include such a pusher.
  • the appendix 32 advantageously comprises a second support surface 36, a support on the second support surface (oriented from right to left according to the point of view of the picture 3 ) tending to cause the ring to pivot relative to the support from its first position to its second position.

Description

Domaine Technique de l'inventionTechnical field of the invention

L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande d'ouverture pour une porte d'un véhicule automobile. L'invention porte aussi sur un système de verrouillage comprenant un tel dispositif de commande d'ouverture. L'invention porte encore sur un véhicule automobile comprenant un tel dispositif de commande d'ouverture et/ou un tel système de verrouillage. L'invention porte enfin sur un procédé d'assemblage d'un tel dispositif de commande d'ouverture à une porte d'un véhicule automobile.The invention relates to an opening control device for a door of a motor vehicle. The invention also relates to a locking system comprising such an opening control device. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising such an opening control device and/or such a locking system. The invention finally relates to a method for assembling such an opening control device to a door of a motor vehicle.

Etat de la technique antérieureState of the prior art

Les véhicules automobiles, et en particulier les véhicules utilitaires sont généralement équipés d'un système de verrouillage de porte comprenant d'une part un dispositif de commande d'ouverture et d'autre part une serrure reliée au dispositif de commande d'ouverture par une tringle ou un câble. Le dispositif de commande d'ouverture comprend un support, ou module, par l'intermédiaire duquel il est fixé à un élément de porte telle qu'un panneau en tôle. Le dispositif de commande d'ouverture comprend également une poignée d'actionnement articulée avec le support et accueille un verrou dans une ouverture du support. La poignée d'actionnement et le verrou sont reliés mécaniquement à la serrure via la tringle ou le câble. Le verrou peut coopérer avec une clé pour établir, ou au contraire interrompre, l'effet d'un déplacement de la poignée d'actionnement sur la serrure.Motor vehicles, and in particular commercial vehicles, are generally equipped with a door locking system comprising, on the one hand, an opening control device and, on the other hand, a lock connected to the opening control device by a rod or cable. The opening control device comprises a support, or module, by means of which it is fixed to a door element such as a sheet metal panel. The opening control device also comprises an actuating handle articulated with the support and accommodates a lock in an opening of the support. The actuating handle and the bolt are mechanically connected to the lock via the rod or the cable. The lock can cooperate with a key to establish, or on the contrary interrupt, the effect of a displacement of the actuating handle on the lock.

De tels systèmes de verrouillage offrent une sécurité insuffisante. Notamment, des voleurs peuvent parvenir à manipuler le verrou intégré au dispositif de commande d'ouverture en utilisant divers outils, tels que des tournevis. En faisant hocher le verrou, des efforts sont transmis au support par l'intermédiaire duquel le dispositif de commande d'ouverture est fixé à la porte. Lorsque la tringle atteint une amplitude de mouvement suffisante, la serrure peut être actionnée et la porte peut être ouverte. Une telle effraction peut être réalisée en un temps parfois très court.Such locking systems provide insufficient security. In particular, thieves can manage to manipulate the lock integrated into the opening control device using various tools, such as screwdrivers. By rattling the bolt, forces are transmitted to the support through which the opening control device is fixed to the door. When the rod reaches a sufficient range of movement, the lock can be operated and the door can be opened. Such a break-in can be carried out in a sometimes very short time.

Par ailleurs, les systèmes de verrouillage connus de l'état de la technique peuvent également présenter des défauts de qualité. Les manipulations répétées de la poignée d'actionnement et/ou du verrou, ainsi que les vibrations du véhicule peuvent conduire à la perte de pièces et donc à la mise en défaut du système de verrouillage.Furthermore, the locking systems known from the state of the art can also have quality defects. Repeated manipulations of the actuating handle and/or the lock, as well as the vibrations of the vehicle can lead to the loss of parts and therefore to the failure of the locking system.

Enfin les systèmes de verrouillage avec verrou intégré connus de l'état de la technique sont complexes à assembler à l'intérieur d'une porte d'un véhicule. Les opérations nécessaires à sa fixation sont parfois réalisées de manière incomplète. En particulier, l'opération de fixation du verrou au support du dispositif de commande d'ouverture est parfois réalisée de manière incomplète. Lorsque tel est le cas, le système de verrouillage peut être encore plus rapidement forcé par un voleur.Finally, the locking systems with integrated lock known from the state of the art are complex to assemble inside a door of a vehicle. The operations necessary for fixing it are sometimes carried out incompletely. In particular, the operation of fixing the lock to the support of the opening control device is sometimes carried out incompletely. When this is the case, the locking system can be forced even faster by a thief.

Description détailléedetailed description

La figure 1 illustre schématiquement un véhicule 1 automobile équipé d'une porte 2 et d'un système de verrouillage 3 de la porte selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention. Le véhicule 1 peut être de toute nature. Notamment, il peut être par exemple un véhicule particulier, un véhicule utilitaire, un camion ou un bus. La porte 2, ou ouvrant 2, ou encore portière 2, est un élément qui permet d'ouvrir ou de fermer l'accès à l'intérieur du véhicule 1, notamment à un espace de chargement ou à un habitacle du véhicule. La porte 2 comprend un élément de porte, notamment un panneau 4 s'étendant dans un plan principal. Ce panneau 4 peut être articulé en rotation par rapport à une caisse du véhicule, par exemple via des charnières 5. Il comprend préférentiellement une plaque de tôle découpée et mise en forme. L'élément de porte peut être par exemple un élément de carrosserie du véhicule et/ou un caisson formant une structure rigide de la porte.The figure 1 schematically illustrates a motor vehicle 1 equipped with a door 2 and a locking system 3 of the door according to one embodiment of the invention. The vehicle 1 can be of any kind. In particular, it may for example be a private vehicle, a utility vehicle, a truck or a bus. The door 2, or opening 2, or even door 2, is an element which makes it possible to open or close access to the interior of the vehicle 1, in particular to a loading space or to a passenger compartment of the vehicle. The door 2 comprises a door element, in particular a panel 4 extending in a main plane. This panel 4 can be articulated in rotation relative to a body of the vehicle, for example via hinges 5. It preferably comprises a sheet metal plate cut and shaped. The door element may for example be a bodywork element of the vehicle and/or a box forming a rigid structure of the door.

Dans ce document, l'axe X désigne l'axe longitudinal d'un véhicule. En marche avant et en ligne droite, le véhicule progresse de l'arrière vers l'avant selon une direction parallèle à son axe longitudinal X. L'axe X est orienté de l'avant vers l'arrière du véhicule, c'est-à-dire dans le sens de la marche arrière. L'axe Y désigne l'axe transversal du véhicule. L'axe Y est orienté de la gauche vers la droite, la gauche et la droite étant définies selon le point de vue d'un conducteur du véhicule. L'axe Z désigne l'axe perpendiculaire à l'axe X et à l'axe Y. L'axe Z est un axe vertical lorsque le véhicule repose sur un sol horizontal. L'axe Z est orienté de bas en haut. Les axes X, Y et Z forment un repère orthogonal. Ce même repère, défini par référence à un véhicule, sera aussi utilisé pour un système de verrouillage ou un dispositif de commande d'ouverture, même considérés hors d'un véhicule, puisqu'ils sont destinés à un montage selon une orientation spécifique sur un véhicule. De plus, on considère que le véhicule 1 repose sur un sol horizontal.In this document, the X axis designates the longitudinal axis of a vehicle. In forward gear and in a straight line, the vehicle progresses from the rear to the front in a direction parallel to its longitudinal axis X. The X axis is oriented from the front to the rear of the vehicle, i.e. i.e. in reverse direction. The Y axis designates the transverse axis of the vehicle. The Y axis is oriented from left to right, with left and right being defined from the perspective of a driver of the vehicle. The Z axis refers to the axis perpendicular to the X axis and the Y axis. The Z axis is a vertical axis when the vehicle is resting on horizontal ground. The Z axis is oriented from bottom to top. The X, Y and Z axes form an orthogonal frame. This same mark, defined by reference to a vehicle, will also be used for a locking system or an opening control device, even considered outside a vehicle, since they are intended for mounting according to a specific orientation on a vehicle. Moreover, it is considered that the vehicle 1 rests on a horizontal ground.

Selon le mode de réalisation présenté, la porte 2 est une porte arrière d'un véhicule utilitaire. La porte est articulée autour d'un axe parallèle à l'axe vertical Z. En variante, la porte 2 pourrait être tout ouvrant d'un véhicule sensible à l'effraction, par exemple une porte latérale. La porte 2 pourrait également être une porte coulissante.According to the embodiment presented, the door 2 is a rear door of a utility vehicle. The door is hinged around an axis parallel to the vertical axis Z. Alternatively, the door 2 could be any opening of a vehicle sensitive to burglary, for example a side door. Door 2 could also be a sliding door.

Le système de verrouillage 3 comprend un dispositif de commande d'ouverture 10, un verrou 6, une serrure 7 et une tringle 8. La serrure 7 est fixée au panneau 4 de la porte 2. Elle comprend un pêne coopérant avec une gâche 9 solidaire de la caisse ou solidaire d'une deuxième porte du véhicule pour verrouiller la porte 2 en positon fermée. La tringle 8 peut être un élément longiligne, éventuellement localement coudé, s'étendant principalement parallèlement à l'axe vertical Z. Il est apte à transmettre à la serrure 7 un mouvement exercé par le verrou 6. En variante, la tringle 8 pourrait être remplacé par un câble. Le dispositif de commande d'ouverture 10 est relié mécaniquement à la serrure via le verrou 6 et la tringle 8. La serrure 7 et le dispositif de commande d'ouverture sont donc deux équipements distincts de la porte. Selon le mode de réalisation présenté sur la figure 1, la serrure 7 est positionnée verticalement au-dessus du dispositif de commande d'ouverture 10 mais en variante elle pourrait être positionnée en tout autre endroit de la porte 2.The locking system 3 comprises an opening control device 10, a lock 6, a lock 7 and a rod 8. The lock 7 is fixed to the panel 4 of the door 2. It comprises a bolt cooperating with a striker plate 9 integral of the body or attached to a second door of the vehicle to lock door 2 in the closed position. The rod 8 can be an elongated element, possibly locally bent, extending mainly parallel to the vertical axis Z. It is able to transmit to the lock 7 a movement exerted by the bolt 6. Alternatively, the rod 8 could be replaced by a cable. The opening control device 10 is mechanically connected to the lock via the bolt 6 and the rod 8. The lock 7 and the opening control device are therefore two separate items of equipment for the door. According to the embodiment presented on the figure 1 , the lock 7 is positioned vertically above the opening control device 10 but alternatively it could be positioned in any other place of the door 2.

Le dispositif de commande d'ouverture 10 comprend un support 11, une poignée d'actionnement 13 et un organe de maintien 20 du verrou. Le dispositif de commande est illustré sur les figures 2, 3 et 4. Il est représenté dans un plan parallèle à l'axe transversal Y et à l'axe vertical Z en vue depuis l'intérieur du véhicule vers l'extérieur. Le panneau 4, qui s'étend perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal X, est rendu invisible. Seul un champ C1 latéral du panneau est rendu visible. Le champ C1 délimite le bord du panneau le long duquel est agencé le dispositif de commande d'ouverture 10. Le champ C1 s'étend dans un plan sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan principal dans lequel s'étend le panneau. En l'espèce le champ C1 s'étend dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe transversal Y. Le champ C1 peut par exemple être formé par un pli sensiblement à 90° d'un bord latéral du panneau 4.The opening control device 10 comprises a support 11, an actuating handle 13 and a member 20 for holding the lock. The control device is illustrated in the figure 2 , 3 and 4 . It is represented in a plane parallel to the transverse axis Y and to the vertical axis Z in view from the interior of the vehicle towards the exterior. The panel 4, which extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X, is made invisible. Only a side C1 control of the panel is made visible. Field C1 delimits the edge of the panel along which the opening control device 10 is arranged. Field C1 extends in a plane substantially perpendicular to the main plane in which the panel extends. In this case the field C1 extends in a plane perpendicular to the transverse axis Y. The field C1 can for example be formed by a fold substantially at 90° to a side edge of the panel 4.

Le support 11, ou "module 11", est un élément fixé au panneau 4 de la porte 2. Il peut comprendre un corps, avantageusement en plastique, dans lequel sont prévus des moyens de liaison au panneau 4. Ces moyens de liaison peuvent être par exemple des clips et/ou des ouvertures. Ces ouvertures, éventuellement taraudées, peuvent être destinées à coopérer avec des organes de fixation tels que des vis, voire des rivets. Le support 11 supporte notamment le verrou 6 et la poignée d'actionnement 13. Il comprend notamment des moyens d'articulation de la poignée d'actionnement 13. Il peut en outre comprendre des moyens de liaison mécanique entre la poignée d'actionnement 13 et le verrou. Le support 11 peut en outre aussi comprendre des moyens de rappels pour ramener la poignée d'actionnement 13 dans une position rétractée après sa manipulation. La rotation de l'organe de maintien 20 bloque le verrou (monté par l'extérieur) et termine la solidarisation de l'ensemble sur le panneau 4.The support 11, or "module 11", is an element fixed to the panel 4 of the door 2. It can comprise a body, advantageously made of plastic, in which are provided means for connecting to the panel 4. These connecting means can be for example clips and/or openings. These openings, possibly threaded, can be intended to cooperate with fasteners such as screws or even rivets. The support 11 notably supports the latch 6 and the actuating handle 13. It notably comprises means for articulating the actuating handle 13. It can also comprise means of mechanical connection between the actuating handle 13 and the lock. The support 11 can furthermore also comprise return means to return the actuating handle 13 to a retracted position after it has been manipulated. The rotation of the holding member 20 locks the lock (mounted from the outside) and completes the attachment of the assembly to the panel 4.

Le support 11 comprend une première ouverture O1 agencée autour d'un axe principal X1, parallèle à l'axe longitudinal X. L'organe de maintien 20 comprend une deuxième ouverture O2 agencée autour dudit axe principal X1. Les ouvertures O1 et O2 peuvent avoir une forme au moins grossièrement circulaire. Les ouvertures O1 et O2 sont concentriques c'est-à-dire que leur centre est confondu suivant une projection parallèle à l'axe longitudinal X.The support 11 comprises a first opening O1 arranged around a main axis X1, parallel to the longitudinal axis X. The holding member 20 comprises a second opening O2 arranged around said main axis X1. The openings O1 and O2 can have an at least roughly circular shape. The openings O1 and O2 are concentric, that is to say that their center coincides along a projection parallel to the longitudinal axis X.

L'organe de maintien 20 est positionné vers l'avant par rapport au support 11. Il est donc lié au panneau 4 de la porte par l'intermédiaire du support 11. L'organe de maintien 20 comprend une bague 30 et un coulisseau 40. La bague 30 est articulée en rotation par rapport au support 11 autour de l'axe principal X1. Ladite deuxième ouverture O2 est formée dans la bague 30. La bague 30 est mobile en rotation par rapport au support 11 entre une première position (illustrée sur la figure 2) et une deuxième position (illustrée sur les figures 3 et 4).The holding member 20 is positioned forward relative to the support 11. It is therefore linked to the panel 4 of the door via the support 11. The holding member 20 comprises a ring 30 and a slider 40 The ring 30 is articulated in rotation with respect to the support 11 around the main axis X1. Said second opening O2 is formed in the ring 30. The ring 30 is rotatable relative to the support 11 between a first position (illustrated in the picture 2 ) and a second position (shown on the figures 3 and 4 ).

La première position est une position dans laquelle le verrou 6 est libre d'être inséré au travers de la première ouverture O1 et de la deuxième ouverture O2. La deuxième position de la bague est une position dans laquelle le verrou 6 préalablement inséré au travers de la première ouverture O1 et de la deuxième ouverture O2 est bloqué en position.The first position is a position in which the lock 6 is free to be inserted through the first opening O1 and the second opening O2. The second position of the ring is a position in which the lock 6 previously inserted through the first opening O1 and the second opening O2 is locked in position.

La première position de la bague peut être distincte de la deuxième position de la bague d'un angle compris entre 5° et 120°, notamment compris entre 10° et 60°. En particulier, environ un huitième de tour, c'est-à-dire environ 45° peuvent séparer la première position de la deuxième position de la bague.The first position of the ring can be separate from the second position of the ring by an angle comprised between 5° and 120°, in particular comprised between 10° and 60°. In particular, approximately one-eighth of a turn, that is to say approximately 45°, can separate the first position from the second position of the ring.

La bague et/ou le support peuvent comprendre des moyens de retenue configurés pour retenir la bague par rapport au support suivant l'axe longitudinal X quand la bague est dans sa première position et/ou dans sa deuxième position. Ainsi, le dispositif de commande d'ouverture 10 peut être mis à disposition d'un seul tenant dans l'atelier dans lequel il est destiné à être assemblé à l'élément de porte.The ring and/or the support may comprise retaining means configured to retain the ring relative to the support along the longitudinal axis X when the ring is in its first position and/or in its second position. Thus, the opening control device 10 can be made available as a single piece in the workshop in which it is intended to be assembled with the door element.

La rotation de la bague par rapport au support entre sa première et sa deuxième position peut éventuellement s'accompagner d'un mouvement de translation de la bague suivant l'axe longitudinal X, notamment grâce à des rampes prévues à une interface entre le support et la bague.The rotation of the ring relative to the support between its first and its second position may optionally be accompanied by a translation movement of the ring along the longitudinal axis X, in particular thanks to ramps provided at an interface between the support and the ring.

Le verrou, ou barillet, est logé à l'intérieur de la première ouverture O1 et de la deuxième ouverture O2. Il comprend lui-même une ouverture pour une clé s'étendant sensiblement le long de l'axe principal X1.The lock, or barrel, is housed inside the first opening O1 and the second opening O2. It itself comprises an opening for a key extending substantially along the main axis X1.

D'une part, le panneau 4 comprend une troisième ouverture coïncidant avec la première ouverture O1 et avec la deuxième ouverture O2. D'autre part, le panneau 4 peut comprendre une quatrième ouverture au travers de laquelle passe tout ou partie de la poignée d'actionnement et/ou des moyens d'articulation de la poignée d'actionnement. La troisième ouverture et la quatrième ouverture peuvent éventuellement former une seule et même ouverture.On the one hand, the panel 4 comprises a third opening coinciding with the first opening O1 and with the second opening O2. On the other hand, the panel 4 can comprise a fourth opening through which passes all or part of the actuating handle and/or the means of articulation of the actuating handle. The third opening and the fourth opening may optionally form one and the same opening.

Le dispositif de commande d'ouverture 10 se distingue d'un système de verrouillage dit "verrou pleine peau" dans lequel le verrou est fixé directement au travers du panneau 4 de la porte indépendamment de la commande d'ouverture. Dans la présente invention le verrou est fixé à la porte via un support cumulant différentes fonctions, notamment celle de supporter une poignée d'actionnement. Une telle architecture permet un assemblage aisé du système de verrouillage à la porte, en un nombre limité d'opérations.The opening control device 10 differs from a so-called "full skin lock" locking system in which the lock is fixed directly through the panel 4 of the door independently of the opening control. In the present invention, the lock is fixed to the door via a support combining different functions, in particular that of supporting an actuating handle. Such an architecture allows easy assembly of the locking system on the door, in a limited number of operations.

La poignée d'actionnement 13 peut être articulée par rapport au support selon une liaison en rotation autour d'un axe Z1 parallèle à l'axe vertical Z, c'est-à-dire un axe parallèle à l'axe autour duquel pivote la porte. Ainsi, un mouvement de traction sur la poignée d'actionnement 13 sollicite à la fois le mécanisme liant la poignée à la serrure pour déverrouiller la serrure et participe à l'effort nécessaire pour manipuler la porte de sa position fermée à sa position ouverte. Une telle poignée d'actionnement, dite "de type frigo" permet donc une ouverture efficace et rapide de la porte.The actuating handle 13 can be articulated with respect to the support according to a connection in rotation around an axis Z1 parallel to the vertical axis Z, that is to say an axis parallel to the axis around which the carries. Thus, a pulling movement on the actuating handle 13 stresses both the mechanism linking the handle to the lock to unlock the lock and participates in the effort required to manipulate the door from its closed position to its open position. Such an actuating handle, called "fridge type" therefore allows efficient and rapid opening of the door.

Le coulisseau 40 est lié à la bague selon une liaison glissière parallèlement à un axe de coulissement A1. Le coulisseau est mobile entre une première position (illustrée sur la figure 3) et une deuxième position (illustrée sur la figure 4). Lorsqu'il est dans sa deuxième position, le coulisseau 40 est en butée contre le champ C1. L'axe de coulissement A1 est sensiblement perpendiculaire audit axe principal X1. Autrement dit, l'axe de coulissement A1 s'étend dans un plan parallèle à l'axe transversal Y et l'axe vertical Z, indépendamment de la position de la bague 30. Comme illustré sur la figure 2, lorsque la bague est dans sa première position, l'axe de coulissement A1 peut former avec l'axe transversal Y et avec l'axe vertical Z un angle d'environ 45°. Comme illustré sur la figure 3, lorsque la bague est dans sa deuxième position, l'axe de coulissement A1 peut être sensiblement parallèle à l'axe transversal Y, c'est-à-dire perpendiculaire au plan dans lequel s'étend le champ C1. Le coulisseau 40 peut coulisser par rapport à la bague 30 indépendamment de la position de cette dernière.The slider 40 is connected to the ring according to a sliding connection parallel to a sliding axis A1. The slider is movable between a first position (illustrated in the picture 3 ) and a second position (shown in the figure 4 ). When it is in its second position, the slider 40 is in abutment against the field C1. The sliding axis A1 is substantially perpendicular to said main axis X1. In other words, the sliding axis A1 extends in a plane parallel to the transverse axis Y and the vertical axis Z, independently of the position of the ring 30. As illustrated in the picture 2 , when the ring is in its first position, the sliding axis A1 can form with the transverse axis Y and with the axis vertical Z an angle of approximately 45°. As illustrated on the picture 3 , when the ring is in its second position, the sliding axis A1 may be substantially parallel to the transverse axis Y, that is to say perpendicular to the plane in which the field C1 extends. The slider 40 can slide relative to the ring 30 independently of the position of the latter.

La rotation de la bague 30 entre sa première position et sa deuxième position et le mouvement de translation du coulisseau 40 sont effectués uniquement lors de l'assemblage du dispositif de commande d'ouverture sur la porte du véhicule, plus particulièrement lorsque le module 11 est déjà monté sur la porte. Le coulisseau est destiné à être fixé solidairement à un élément de porte lorsque la bague est dans sa deuxième position. En particulier, le coulisseau 40 comprend une ouverture 41 taraudée, s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe de coulissement A1. Comme illustré sur la figure 4, l'ouverture 41 coopère avec une vis 42 passant par une ouverture pratiquée au travers d'un champ C1 de la porte pour bloquer le coulisseau. Lors de l'utilisation du véhicule, la bague et le coulisseau demeurent donc fixés en position par rapport à la porte. En variante, le coulisseau pourrait être fixé au champ C1 de la porte par un moyen de fixation différent d'une vis comme par exemple au moyen d'un rivet ou encore avec tout moyen de fixation passant au travers du champ C1 de la porte.The rotation of the ring 30 between its first position and its second position and the translation movement of the slider 40 are carried out only during the assembly of the opening control device on the door of the vehicle, more particularly when the module 11 is already mounted on the door. The slider is intended to be fixed integrally to a door element when the ring is in its second position. In particular, the slider 40 comprises a threaded opening 41, extending substantially parallel to the sliding axis A1. As illustrated on the figure 4 , the opening 41 cooperates with a screw 42 passing through an opening made through a field C1 of the door to lock the slider. During use of the vehicle, the ring and the slide therefore remain fixed in position relative to the door. As a variant, the slider could be fixed to the field C1 of the door by a fixing means other than a screw, for example by means of a rivet or even with any fixing means passing through the field C1 of the door.

La bague 30 comprend une partie centrale 31, de forme au moins grossièrement cylindrique, dans laquelle est agencée la deuxième ouverture O2. La bague 30 comprend aussi un appendice 32 s'étendant radialement depuis la partie centrale 31. Avantageusement, la partie centrale 31 et l'appendice 32 forment une pièce monobloc. L'appendice 32 supporte le coulisseau 40. Plus particulièrement, l'appendice 32 comprend un rail de guidage 33 et le coulisseau comprend une rainure 43 de forme complémentaire à celle du rail de guidage 33 de manière à former la liaison glissière. Le rail de guidage peut intégrer un moyen de retenue du coulisseau suivant l'axe longitudinal X. Notamment, ce moyen de retenue peut être formé par une section du rail de guidage en forme de T ou en forme de champignon.The ring 30 comprises a central part 31, of at least roughly cylindrical shape, in which the second opening O2 is arranged. The ring 30 also includes an appendage 32 extending radially from the central part 31. Advantageously, the central part 31 and the appendage 32 form a single piece. The appendage 32 supports the slider 40. More particularly, the appendix 32 comprises a guide rail 33 and the slider comprises a groove 43 of the shape complementary to that of the guide rail 33 so as to form the sliding connection. The guide rail can integrate a means for retaining the slide along the longitudinal axis X. In particular, this retaining means can be formed by a section of the guide rail in the shape of a T or in the shape of a mushroom.

Le rail de guidage peut être agencé sur une face de l'appendice 32 tournée vers l'avant du véhicule. Selon une variante de réalisation, le coulisseau pourrait aussi être agencé sur une autre face de l'appendice, ou encore être agencé à l'intérieur d'un logement formé dans l'appendice.The guide rail can be arranged on a face of the appendix 32 facing the front of the vehicle. According to a variant embodiment, the slider could also be arranged on another face of the appendage, or even be arranged inside a housing formed in the appendage.

La bague 30 comprend un poussoir 34 pourvu d'une surface d'appui permettant de faire pivoter la bague de sa première position à sa deuxième position. Le poussoir 34 s'étend sensiblement radialement depuis la partie centrale 31. Le poussoir 34 peut s'étendre depuis la partie centrale 31 dans une direction sensiblement opposée à la direction dans laquelle l'appendice 32 s'étend. Il peut comprendre à son extrémité 35 une cavité borgne, par exemple sous la forme d'une demi-coque, destinée à recevoir la pointe d'un outil. Un appui de l'outil sur l'extrémité 35 permet d'exercer un effort parallèlement à la flèche F1 ce qui tend à faire pivoter la bague vers sa deuxième position. En variante, la bague 30 pourrait ne pas comprendre un tel poussoir. L'appendice 32 comprend avantageusement une deuxième surface d'appui 36, un appui sur la deuxième surface d'appui (orienté de la droite vers la gauche selon le point de vue de la figure 3) tendant à faire pivoter la bague par rapport au support de sa première position à sa deuxième position. L'appendice remplit donc une double fonction de support du coulisseau 40 et de surface d'appui pour faire pivoter la bague par rapport au support 11.The ring 30 comprises a pusher 34 provided with a bearing surface allowing the ring to be pivoted from its first position to its second position. Pusher 34 extends substantially radially from central portion 31. Pusher 34 may extend from central portion 31 in a direction substantially opposite to the direction in which appendix 32 extends. It may comprise at its end 35 a blind cavity, for example in the form of a half-shell, intended to receive the tip of a tool. Pressing the tool on the end 35 makes it possible to exert a force parallel to the arrow F1 which tends to cause the ring to pivot towards its second position. Alternatively, the ring 30 could not include such a pusher. The appendix 32 advantageously comprises a second support surface 36, a support on the second support surface (oriented from right to left according to the point of view of the picture 3 ) tending to cause the ring to pivot relative to the support from its first position to its second position. The appendix therefore fulfills a dual function of supporting the slider 40 and of bearing surface for pivoting the ring relative to the support 11.

La première et/ou la deuxième position de la bague 30 peuvent être définies par des moyens de butées B1, B2, B3, B4 conjugués agencés respectivement sur la bague et sur le support. Le moyen de butée B1 peut coopérer avec le moyen de butée B2 pour définir la première position de la bague. Le moyen de butée B3 peut coopérer avec le moyen de butée B4 pour définir la deuxième position de la bague. Les moyens de butée B2 et B4 peuvent être prévus sur le poussoir 34 comme cela est représenté sur la figure 2, ou en variante, être intégrés à toute autre partie de la bague. Les moyens de butée B1 et B3 peuvent être intégrés au corps du support.The first and/or the second position of the ring 30 can be defined by conjugate abutment means B1, B2, B3, B4 arranged respectively on the ring and on the support. The abutment means B1 can cooperate with the abutment means B2 to define the first position of the ring. The abutment means B3 can cooperate with the abutment means B4 to define the second position of the ring. The stop means B2 and B4 can be provided on the pusher 34 as shown in the figure 2 , or alternatively, be integrated into any other part of the ring. The stop means B1 and B3 can be integrated into the body of the support.

L'amplitude de déplacement du coulisseau peut être délimitée par des moyens de butées B5, B6, B7, B8 conjugués agencés respectivement sur le coulisseau et sur la bague. Le moyen de butée B5 peut coopérer avec le moyen de butée B6 pour définir la première position du coulisseau qui peut être une première position extrémale du coulisseau. Le moyen de butée B7 peut coopérer avec le moyen de butée B8 pour définir une deuxième position extrémale du coulisseau. On note que lorsque le coulisseau 40 est fixé contre le champ C1 du panneau, il adopte une position intermédiaire entre les deux positions extrémales du coulisseau. Les moyens de butées B5, B6, B7 et B8 empêchent une dissociation accidentelle entre le coulisseau et la bague préalablement à leur assemblage sur une porte.The amplitude of movement of the slider can be delimited by conjugate stop means B5, B6, B7, B8 arranged respectively on the slider and on the ring. The abutment means B5 can cooperate with the abutment means B6 to define the first position of the slider which can be a first extreme position of the slider. The abutment means B7 can cooperate with the abutment means B8 to define a second extreme position of the slider. Note that when the slider 40 is fixed against the field C1 of the panel, it adopts an intermediate position between the two end positions of the slider. The stop means B5, B6, B7 and B8 prevent accidental dissociation between the slider and the ring prior to their assembly on a door.

Le support 11 et/ou la bague 30 peuvent comprend une interface de fixation pour maintenir le verrou 6 en position. Cette interface de fixation peut être formée au niveau des bords de la première ouverture O1 et/ou de la deuxième ouverture O2. En particulier la bague 30 et/ou le support 20 peuvent comprendre des encoches 37 s'étendant sensiblement radialement par rapport audit axe principal. Ces encoches peuvent coopérer avec un contour extérieur du verrou 6 pour le maintenir en position. Les encoches formées dans la bague 30 sont notamment bien visibles sur la figure 2. Chaque encoche 37 est associée à une rampe de profil annulaire ayant une section évolutive quant à son épaisseur. Chaque encoche 37 est apte à coopérer avec un ergot associé du verrou 6. Durant l'opération d'assemblage du support 11 au panneau 4 de porte, chaque ergot du verrou 6 est déplacé le long d'une rampe contre lequel il coulisse afin de serrer le verrouThe support 11 and/or the ring 30 may comprise a fixing interface to hold the lock 6 in position. This fixing interface can be formed at the edges of the first opening O1 and/or of the second opening O2. In particular, ring 30 and/or support 20 may include notches 37 extending substantially radially relative to said main axis. These notches can cooperate with an outer contour of the lock 6 to hold it in position. The notches formed in the ring 30 are particularly clearly visible on the picture 2 . Each notch 37 is associated with a ramp of annular profile having a section that changes with respect to its thickness. Each notch 37 is adapted to cooperate with an associated lug of the lock 6. During the assembly operation of the support 11 to the door panel 4, each lug of the lock 6 is moved along a ramp against which it slides in order to tighten the lock

Le verrou 6 comprend une partie intérieure apte à être pivotée autour de l'axe principal X1. Cette partie intérieure est fixée une batteuse 14 qui est un élément du système de verrouillage 3. La batteuse 14 peut se présenter sous la forme d'une plaque à l'extrémité de laquelle est relié le support de tringle 15. Le support de tringle 15 est fixé à la batteuse 14 selon une liaison pivot. Ainsi, la tringle demeure sensiblement alignée parallèlement à l'axe vertical Z lorsque la batteuse pivote autour de l'axe principal X1.The lock 6 comprises an inner part able to be pivoted around the main axis X1. This inner part is fixed to a camshaft 14 which is an element of the locking system 3. The camshaft 14 can be in the form of a plate at the end of which the rod support 15 is connected. The rod support 15 is attached to the threshing machine 14 according to a pivot connection. Thus, the rod remains substantially aligned parallel to the vertical axis Z when the harvester pivots around the main axis X1.

En complément, la bague 30 peut comprendre un élément saillant (non visible sur les figures) destiné à faire face au panneau 4. L'élément saillant est agencé de sorte que, lorsqu'on fait hocher le dispositif de commande d'ouverture par l'intermédiaire du verrou, l'élément saillant vient en contact d'une face intérieure du panneau 4. Un tel hochement peut être par exemple un mouvement de flexion alternée au moyen d'un tournevis dont la pointe est insérée dans le verrou. L'élément saillant peut par exemple se présenter sous la forme d'une nervure. Il peut s'étendre parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal X depuis l'appendice 32 sur une face de l'appendice opposée à la face sur laquelle est montée le coulisseau 40, c'est-à-dire une face de l'appendice faisant face au panneau 4. Ainsi, lors d'une tentative d'effraction du véhicule, le panneau peut être rayé ou marqué par l'appui de l'élément saillant. Ces rayures ou marques fournissent alors une preuve de la tentative d'effraction. De, plus l'appui de l'élément saillant fournit un support supplémentaire du dispositif de commande d'ouverture sur le panneau 4, ce qui limite encore l'amplitude de déplacement pour un effort de flexion alternée donné.In addition, the ring 30 may comprise a projecting element (not visible in the figures) intended to face the panel 4. The projecting element is arranged so that, when the opening control device is made to rattle by the intermediary of the latch, the protruding element comes into contact with an inner face of the panel 4. Such a nodding may for example be an alternate bending movement by means of a screwdriver whose tip is inserted into the latch. The projecting element can for example take the form of a rib. It can extend parallel to the longitudinal axis X from the appendix 32 on a face of the appendage opposite to the face on which the slider 40 is mounted, that is to say a face of the appendage forming facing the panel 4. Thus, during an attempt to break into the vehicle, the panel can be scratched or marked by the support of the projecting element. These scratches or marks then provide evidence of the attempted break-in. Moreover, the more the support of the protruding element provides additional support for the opening control device on the panel 4, which further limits the amplitude of displacement for a given alternating bending force.

Dans la description qui précède, le dispositif de commande d'ouverture est équipé d'un verrou. En variante, le verrou pourrait ne pas être présent ou être remplacé par un faux verrou. Un tel artifice permet notamment d'utiliser un même dispositif de commande d'ouverture pour équiper une porte non pourvue de verrou, comme par exemple une porte de passager, c'est-à-dire par exemple une porte du côté opposé au conducteur ou à l'arrière du conducteur.In the above description, the opening control device is equipped with a lock. Alternatively, the lock could not be present or be replaced by a false lock. Such an artifice makes it possible in particular to use the same opening control device to equip a door not provided with a lock, such as for example a passenger door, that is to say for example a door on the side opposite the driver or behind the driver.

Pour assembler le dispositif de commande d'ouverture à un élément de porte du véhicule automobile, on peut procéder de la manière suivante. Tout d'abord on fournit un élément de porte. L'élément de porte comprend notamment le panneau 4 pourvu de la troisième ouverture. On fournit également le dispositif de commande d'ouverture 10 et le verrou 6. Avantageusement, le dispositif de commande d'ouverture 10 se présente sous la forme d'un module dont les éléments sont maintenus ensemble. Notamment, la bague 30 est solidaire du support 11 et se trouve dans sa première position.To assemble the opening control device to a door element of the motor vehicle, one can proceed as follows. First, a door element is provided. The door element comprises in particular the panel 4 provided with the third opening. The opening control device 10 and the lock 6 are also provided. Advantageously, the opening control device 10 is in the form of a module whose elements are held together. In particular, the ring 30 is integral with the support 11 and is in its first position.

Ensuite, le procédé comprend une étape de positionnement du dispositif de commande d'ouverture contre une première face de l'élément de porte. On positionne le support contre une face intérieure du panneau. Celui-ci peut être fixé au panneau notamment au moyens de clips de fixation et/ou de vis et/ou de rivets.Then, the method comprises a step of positioning the opening control device against a first face of the door element. The support is positioned against an interior face of the panel. This can be fixed to the panel in particular by means of fixing clips and/or screws and/or rivets.

Ensuite, le procédé comprend une étape d'insertion du verrou au travers de la première ouverture, de la deuxième ouverture et de la troisième ouverture. Notamment le verrou peut être inséré longitudinalement depuis l'arrière vers l'avant.Then, the method comprises a step of inserting the lock through the first opening, the second opening and the third opening. In particular, the lock can be inserted longitudinally from the rear to the front.

Ensuite, lorsque le verrou est en place, le procédé comprend une étape de rotation de bague par rapport au support jusqu'à sa deuxième position.Then, when the lock is in place, the method includes a ring rotation step relative to the support to its second position.

Suivant le mode de réalisation présenté sur les figures, la bague est donc pivotée d'environ un huitième de tour dans le sens antihoraire. Lorsque la bague 30 est équipée d'un poussoir 34, cette opération peut être réalisée au moyen d'un outil passant au travers d'une ouverture prévue dans le champ C1 de la porte. La pointe de l'outil est alors insérée dans l'ouverture borgne formée à l'extrémité 35 du poussoir et un effort sensiblement suivant la flèche F1 est appliqué. Ensuite, l'ouverture au travers de laquelle l'outil a été inséré pour réaliser cette opération peut être rebouchée pour garantir l'étanchéité de la porte. En variante, la rotation de la bague peut être réalisée manuellement par un effort appliqué sur la surface d'appui 36, notamment par un effort appliqué suivant la flèche F2. On évite ainsi de devoir faire un trou dans le champ de la porte pour faire passer un outil et on évite l'opération de rebouchage de ce trou pour garantir l'étanchéité de la porte. Suite à la rotation de la bague 30, le verrou est bloqué en position dans le dispositif de commande d'ouverture.According to the embodiment shown in the figures, the ring is therefore pivoted by approximately one-eighth of a turn counterclockwise. When the ring 30 is equipped with a pusher 34, this operation can be carried out by means of a tool passing through an opening provided in the field C1 of the door. The tip of the tool is then inserted into the blind opening formed at the end 35 of the pusher and a force substantially along the arrow F1 is applied. Then, the opening through which the tool was inserted to perform this operation can be plugged to guarantee the tightness of the door. As a variant, the rotation of the ring can be carried out manually by a force applied to the support surface 36, in particular by a force applied along the arrow F2. This avoids having to make a hole in the field of the door to pass a tool and avoids the operation of filling this hole to ensure the sealing of the door. Following the rotation of the ring 30, the lock is locked in position in the opening control device.

Ensuite, le procédé comprend une étape de déplacement du coulisseau suivant la liaison glissière et une étape de fixation du coulisseau à l'élément de porte. Le coulisseau peut par exemple être poussé manuellement contre le champ C1 de la porte. Alternativement, il peut avantageusement être translaté grâce à l'effort de réaction produit par la vis 42 sur l'ouverture 41 taraudée du coulisseau. Ainsi, le simple serrage de la vis de fixation permet d'une part de translater le coulisseau jusqu'à ce qu'il soit en butée contre le champ C1 de la porte, et d'autre part de bloquer le coulisseau en position. L'étape de translation du coulisseau et l'étape de fixation du coulisseau peuvent donc être réalisées simultanément. La tête de la vis 42 en appui sur le champ de la porte assure l'étanchéité de la porte au niveau de l'ouverture par laquelle la vis est insérée.Then, the method comprises a step of moving the slider along the sliding connection and a step of fixing the slider to the door element. The slider can for example be pushed manually against field C1 of the door. Alternatively, it can advantageously be translated thanks to the reaction force produced by the screw 42 on the tapped opening 41 of the slider. Thus, the simple tightening of the fixing screw makes it possible on the one hand to translate the slider until it is in abutment against the field C1 of the door, and on the other hand to block the slider in position. The step of translating the slider and the step of fixing the slider can therefore be carried out simultaneously. The head of the screw 42 resting on the field of the door seals the door at the level of the opening through which the screw is inserted.

A l'issue de ce montage l'organe de maintien 20 est bloqué en position par une liaison directe avec la porte, notamment avec le champ de la porte. On évite ainsi tout desserrage de la bague suite à une tentative d'effraction ou en conséquence des vibrations subies par le véhicule. L'opération de vissage du coulisseau n'est possible que si la bague est complètement pivotée dans sa deuxième position. L'invention fournir donc également un moyen de contrôle de la bonne position de l'organe de maintien. On évite ainsi une rotation partielle de la bague pouvant occasionner une robustesse moindre ou un desserrage précoce.At the end of this assembly, the retaining member 20 is locked in position by a direct connection with the door, in particular with the field of the door. This avoids any loosening of the ring following a break-in attempt or as a result of vibrations to which the vehicle is subjected. The slide screwing operation is only possible if the ring is completely pivoted into its second position. The invention therefore also provides a means of checking the correct position of the holding member. This avoids partial rotation of the ring which could cause less robustness or early loosening.
