[0002] La présente invention concerne un conduit de dégivrage agencé pour recevoir un récepteur de signal satellite, un élément d’habitacle de véhicule comprenant un tel conduit de dégivrage, ainsi qu’un procédé d’assemblage d’un tel élément d’habitacle à un véhicule. The present invention relates to a de-icing duct arranged to receive a satellite signal receiver, a vehicle interior element comprising such a de-icing duct, as well as a method of assembling such a passenger compartment element. to a vehicle.
[0003] Les véhicules actuels peuvent comprendre des moyens de positionnement par satellite offrant par un exemple à un utilisateur du véhicule un guidage par satellite, une assistance à la conduite ou au stationnement, ou encore la planification et le suivi de déplacement. [0003] Current vehicles can include satellite positioning means offering, for example, to a user of the vehicle satellite guidance, driving or parking assistance, or even planning and tracking of movement.
[0004] Ces moyens de positionnement peuvent être intégrés au système d’info divertissement du véhicule et nécessitent au moins un récepteur de signal satellite pour recevoir les informations de localisation émises par les satellites. [0004] These positioning means can be integrated into the vehicle's infotainment system and require at least one satellite signal receiver to receive the location information transmitted by the satellites.
[0005] Un tel récepteur de signal satellite est généralement positionné sur la face cachée d’un élément d’habitacle et se fixe à demeure par le biais d’une platine de fixation. Ainsi, le document JP2018-16144 décrit un récepteur GPS fixé par vissage à l’intérieur d’un tableau de bord de véhicule via une pièce intermédiaire. [0005] Such a satellite signal receiver is generally positioned on the hidden face of a passenger compartment element and is permanently fixed by means of a mounting plate. Thus, document JP2018-16144 describes a GPS receiver fixed by screwing inside a vehicle dashboard via an intermediate part.
[0006] Une telle intégration d’un récepteur par satellite n’est pas optimale d’un point de vue coût de revient et rallonge le temps de montage du véhicule correspondant. Un besoin existe donc pour l’intégration d’un récepteur de signal satellite qui soit la moins coûteuse possible et qui soit rapide lors de la fabrication du véhicule[0006] Such integration of a satellite receiver is not optimal from a cost point of view and lengthens the assembly time of the corresponding vehicle. A need therefore exists for the integration of a satellite signal receiver which is as inexpensive as possible and which is rapid during the manufacture of the vehicle.
[0007] Pour cela, un premier aspect de l’invention concerne un conduit de dégivrage pour un véhicule, le conduit de dégivrage définissant une portion d’accroche, caractérisé en ce que la portion d’accroche comprend une surface de réception agencée pour recevoir directement un récepteur de signal satellite.

Par exemple, la portion d’ accroche 20 comprend une face supérieure 21 agencée pour être en regard du parebrise au moins dans une phase de montage du véhicule. [0030] In addition, the defrosting duct 10 comprises a hooking portion 20 protruding from the body 11 and preferably from an upper part of the body 11 in the direction of assembly of the defrosting duct 10 to the vehicle. The grip portion 20 may have a surface oriented towards the windshield so as to receive an electromagnetic signal through the windshield without being masked by another portion of the defrost duct. For example, the hooking portion 20 comprises an upper face 21 arranged to be facing the windshield at least during a vehicle assembly phase.
[0031] La portion d’ accroche 20 fait préférentiellement partie du corps 11 et peut être fabriquée lors du moulage du corps 11. Elle comprend des moyens de fixation 22 sous la forme de deux crochets opposés faisant protrusion de la portion d’ accroche 20, par exemple d’une face inférieure opposée à la face supérieure 21 et/ou du corps 11. Ces moyens de fixation 22 délimitent ainsi un espace prédéterminé agencé pour accueillir un récepteur de signal satellite 30. Cet espace prédéterminé est délimité en outre par une surface de réception comprenant une surface de butée 23 encadrant une surface de poussée 24 consistant par exemple en une lame ressort. The hooking portion 20 preferably forms part of the body 11 and can be manufactured during the molding of the body 11. It comprises fixing means 22 in the form of two opposite hooks protruding from the hooking portion 20, for example from a lower face opposite to the upper face 21 and / or of the body 11. These fixing means 22 thus define a predetermined space arranged to accommodate a satellite signal receiver 30. This predetermined space is further delimited by a surface receiving surface comprising a stop surface 23 surrounding a thrust surface 24 consisting for example of a leaf spring.
[0032] De cette façon, un récepteur de signal satellite 30 par exemple sous la forme d’un boîtier peut être fixé directement au conduit de dégivrage 10, par clippage ou emboîtement à la portion d’ accroche 20, sans pièce intermédiaire telle qu’une platine de fixation. En outre, selon le type de véhicule et le marché sur lequel il est commercialisé, cette fixation peut être remplacée ou renforcé par une soudure, par exemple à ultrason et/ou par collage. [0032] In this way, a satellite signal receiver 30, for example in the form of a housing can be attached directly to the defrost duct 10, by clipping or interlocking to the hooking portion 20, without an intermediate piece such as a mounting plate. In addition, depending on the type of vehicle and the market on which it is sold, this attachment can be replaced or reinforced by welding, for example ultrasound and / or gluing.
[0033] Le récepteur de signal satellite 30 peut prendre la forme d’un boîtier intégral, par exemple muni d’une surface de fond 31 et de protrusion latérales 32 s’étendant de part et d’ autre de cette surface de fond 31. Ces protrusions latérales 32 peuvent être clippées, c’est-à-dire retenues par emboîtement élastique par les moyens de fixation 22 dans une position montée du récepteur de signal satellite 30. Alternativement, le boîtier du récepteur de signal satellite peut ne pas avoir de protrusions latérales et les moyens de fixation peuvent se clipper sur le boîtier directement. The satellite signal receiver 30 can take the form of an integral housing, for example provided with a bottom surface 31 and lateral protrusion 32 extending on either side of this bottom surface 31. These lateral protrusions 32 can be clipped, that is to say retained by elastic interlocking by the fixing means 22 in a mounted position of the satellite signal receiver 30. Alternatively, the housing of the satellite signal receiver can have no side protrusions and the fixing means can be clipped onto the housing directly.
[0034] En outre, la surface de fond 31 peut être en contact sur la surface de butée 23 et/ou mis en contrainte vers les moyens de fixation 22 par la surface de poussée 24, de manière à éviter tout bruit parasite lors du roulement. Ainsi, la surface de fond 31 peut être contrainte en direction des moyens de fixation 22 par la surface de poussée 24 et les protrusions latérales peuvent être retenues par les moyens de fixation 22. La surface de butée 23 n’est donc pas obligatoirement en contact avec la surface de fond 31 du récepteur de signal satellite 30 quand le récepteur de signal satellite 30 est assemblé à la portion d’ accroche 20. In addition, the bottom surface 31 may be in contact with the abutment surface 23 and / or put under stress towards the fixing means 22 by the thrust surface 24, so as to avoid any parasitic noise during rolling. . Thus, the bottom surface 31 can be constrained in the direction of the fixing means 22 by the thrust surface 24 and the lateral protrusions can be retained by the fixing means 22. The stop surface 23 is therefore not necessarily in contact. with the bottom surface 31 of the satellite signal receiver 30 when the satellite signal receiver 30 is assembled to the hooking portion 20.
[0035] En référence à la figure 2, le conduit de dégivrage 10 est assemblé dans une planche de bord 50 de véhicule, qui comprend un orifice 51 agencé pour faire face à l’habitacle du véhicule et disposé en regard du conduit de dégivrage 10 et de la portion d’ accroche 20 (non visible sur la figure 2). Par exemple, cet orifice 51 est destiné à accueillir des équipements d’habitacle du véhicule, par exemple un système d’info divertissement. Referring to Figure 2, the defrost duct 10 is assembled in a vehicle dashboard 50, which comprises an orifice 51 arranged to face the vehicle interior and disposed opposite the defrost duct 10 and of the hooking portion 20 (not visible in FIG. 2). For example, this orifice 51 is intended to accommodate vehicle interior equipment, for example an infotainment system.
[0036] Ainsi, lors d’une phase d’assemblage du véhicule, le conduit de dégivrage 10 peut être assemblé à la planche de bord 50 du véhicule, en-dessous du pare-brise 60 du véhicule. Thus, during an assembly phase of the vehicle, the defrost duct 10 can be assembled to the dashboard 50 of the vehicle, below the windshield 60 of the vehicle.
[0037] Selon le modèle du véhicule, la gamme du véhicule ou encore un choix d’option, le récepteur de signal satellite 30 peut alors être approché de la surface de réception et fixé par les moyens de fixation 22. Le récepteur de signal satellite 30 peut ensuite être relié par une connexion filaire au système d’info divertissement, avant assemblage de celui-ci au sein de l’orifice 51. Depending on the model of the vehicle, the range of the vehicle or a choice of option, the satellite signal receiver 30 can then be approached to the reception surface and fixed by the fixing means 22. The satellite signal receiver 30 can then be connected by a wired connection to the infotainment system, before assembly thereof within the orifice 51.
[0038] Un tel conduit de dégivrage 10 et/ou une telle planche de bord 50 permet ainsi un montage rapide et peu coûteux du récepteur de signal satellite 30 au sein du véhicule. Such a de-icing duct 10 and / or such an instrument panel 50 thus allows rapid and inexpensive mounting of the satellite signal receiver 30 within the vehicle.
[0039] On comprendra que diverses modifications et/ou améliorations évidentes pour l’homme du métier peuvent être apportées aux différents modes de réalisation de l’invention décrits dans la présente description sans sortir du cadre de l’invention. It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements obvious to a person skilled in the art can be made to the various embodiments of the invention described in the present description without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0040] Ainsi le récepteur de signal satellite peut prendre toutes formes adaptées. En outre, les moyens de fixation ne sont pas limités à des moyens de clippage mais peuvent prendre la forme de vis, de boulons ou de surfaces de soudure, par exemple par ultrason. [0040] Thus the satellite signal receiver can take any suitable form. In addition, the fixing means are not limited to clipping means but can take the form of screws, bolts or welding surfaces, for example by ultrasound.
[0041] De plus, le conduit de dégivrage peut être monté dans tout type d’élément d’habitacle, comme une plage arrière ou des montants de vitres latérales, par exemple pour des véhicules collectifs ou utilitaires. [0041] In addition, the defrost duct can be mounted in any type of passenger compartment element, such as a rear shelf or side window pillars, for example for collective or utility vehicles.
[0042] La surface de poussée peut comprendre tout type d’élément de poussée comme un ou plusieurs ressorts hélicoïdaux ou bien être fabriqué en une matière élastomère. La surface de butée peut avoir toute géométrie adaptée. [0042] The thrust surface can include any type of thrust element such as one or more coil springs or it can be made from an elastomeric material. The abutment surface can have any suitable geometry.
