Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection d'appareils électriques, tel un boltier porte-fusibles, en particulier pour véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to a device for protecting electrical devices, such as a fuse holder bolt, in particular for a motor vehicle.
La protection des appareils électriques mis en service à l'arrière des véhicules automobiles, tels que les feux clignotants arrière, essuie-glaces arrière etc, est généralement assurée par l'intermédiaire d'un bottier porte-fusibles, interposé dans le circuit électrique reliant lesdits appareils au faisceau électrique central situé au niveau du tableau de bord du véhicule. Ce bottier est généralement implanté sous le tableau de bord précité et présente en conséquence une accessibilité réduite dans une zone particulièrement encombrée. En outre, la fixation de ce boîtier en suspension sous le tableau de bord, est délicate à assurer et peut générer des bruits lorsque par exemple, le boltier est muni de moyens coulissant ou pivotant par rapport à la planche de bord pour permettre son acces. The protection of electrical devices used in the rear of motor vehicles, such as rear indicator lights, rear windshield wipers, etc., is generally ensured by means of a fuse box, interposed in the electrical circuit connecting said devices to the central wiring harness located at the dashboard of the vehicle. This bootmaker is generally located under the aforementioned dashboard and therefore has reduced accessibility in a particularly congested area. In addition, the fixing of this suspension unit under the dashboard is difficult to ensure and can generate noise when, for example, the bolt-holder is provided with sliding or pivoting means relative to the dashboard to allow its access.
La présente invention a pour but de résoudre ces problèmes et propose un dispositif de protection d'appareils électriques, tel un bolier porte-fusibles, en particulier pour véhicule automobile, présentant un encombrement réduit et une accessibilité particulièrement aisée. The present invention aims to solve these problems and provides a device for protecting electrical devices, such as a fuse holder bolier, in particular for a motor vehicle, having a reduced size and particularly easy accessibility.
A cet effet la présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de protection d'appareils électriques, en particulier pour véhicule automobile, du genre comprenant un boîtier comportant des fusibles, interposé entre un faisceau électrique central du véhicule et le faisceau électrique alimentant les appareils électriques à protéger tels les feux clignotants, essuie-glaces etc, ce dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que ledit boîtier est incorporé au plancher du véhicule en étant accessible par une trappe ou analogue affleurant ledit plancher en position de fermeture, de façon à ne pas interrompre la continuité de la surface dudit plancher. To this end, the subject of the present invention is a device for protecting electrical appliances, in particular for a motor vehicle, of the type comprising a housing comprising fuses, interposed between a central electrical harness of the vehicle and the electrical harness supplying the electrical appliances to protect such as flashing lights, windshield wipers, etc., this device being characterized in that said box is incorporated into the vehicle floor by being accessible by a hatch or the like flush with said floor in the closed position, so as not to interrupt the continuity from the surface of said floor.
Ceci permet déjà de libérer avantageusement un certain volume dans la planche de bord. This already makes it possible to advantageously free up a certain volume in the dashboard.
Suivant une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le boîtier est logé dans une ouverture pratiquée dans le plancher précité obturable par l'intermédiaire de la trappe d'accès précitée, laquelle est montée pivotante sur un bord de l'ouverture. According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the housing is housed in an opening made in the aforementioned floor which can be closed off by means of the aforementioned access hatch, which is pivotally mounted on an edge of the opening.
Suivant une réalisation particulière de l'invention l'ouverture précitée est pratiquée dans une partie proéminente dudit plancher formant repose-pieds. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the aforementioned opening is made in a prominent part of said floor forming a footrest.
Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le boîtier s'étend longitudinalement dans la direction longitudinale du véhicule et est connecté par ses extrémités avant et arrière respectivement aux faisceaux électriques central et arrière du véhicule. According to another characteristic of the invention, the housing extends longitudinally in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and is connected by its front and rear ends respectively to the central and rear electrical harnesses of the vehicle.
On notera que ce faisceau électrique arrière du véhicule s'étend parallèlement audit plancher sous une garniture recouvrant ce plancher. It will be noted that this rear electrical harness of the vehicle extends parallel to said floor under a lining covering this floor.
Mais d'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère au dessin unique annexé donné uniquement à titre d'exemple et dans lequel
- La figure unique est une vue partielle en perspective, illustrant un plancher avant de véhicule automobile, comportant un repose-pieds équipé d'un porte-fusibles suivant une réalisation de l'invention.However, other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear better in the detailed description which follows and refers to the single appended drawing given solely by way of example and in which
- The single figure is a partial perspective view, illustrating a front floor of a motor vehicle, comprising a footrest equipped with a fuse holder according to an embodiment of the invention.
Sur cette figure, on voit un plancher avant 1 de véhicule automobile (non représenté), côté conducteur, recouvert d'un revetement d'insonorisation 11 de l'habitacle du véhicule et d'une garniture formant tapis 10. Ce plancher 1 est équipé d'un élément proéminent à fonction de repose-pieds 3 de forme prismatique à section longitudinale triangulaire. Ce repose-pieds 3 est fixé par l'une 33 de ses faces, horizontale, sur le plancher 1, et par une autre 34 de ses faces, verticale, sur la paroi de fond avant 2 de l'habitacle du véhicule, située sous le tableau de bord (non représenté). Une ouverture 30 a été pratiquée dans la face 35 orientée vers le conducteur, ou face supérieure, du repose-pieds 3, pour permettre l'introduction d'un boîtier 5, dit porte-fusibles 50, de forme générale parallélépipédique, lequel boîtier 5 est maintenu par un support 4 solidaire dudit repose-pieds 3. In this figure, we see a front floor 1 of a motor vehicle (not shown), driver side, covered with a soundproofing coating 11 of the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a trim forming carpet 10. This floor 1 is equipped of a prominent element with a footrest function 3 of prismatic shape with a triangular longitudinal section. This footrest 3 is fixed by one 33 of its faces, horizontal, on the floor 1, and by another 34 of its faces, vertical, on the front bottom wall 2 of the passenger compartment of the vehicle, located under the dashboard (not shown). An opening 30 has been made in the face 35 oriented towards the conductor, or upper face, of the footrest 3, to allow the introduction of a box 5, said fuse holder 50, of generally parallelepiped shape, which box 5 is held by a support 4 integral with said footrest 3.
Deux orifices 31, 32 de forme oblongue, sont prévus respectivement aux extrémités inférieure et supérieure de la face supérieure 35 du repose-pied 3, et permettent le raccordement du boîtier 5 porte-fusibles 50, par ses deux extrémités opposées 52, 51, au faisceau de câble électrique arrière 7 et au faisceau central 6 situé dans la planche de bord du véhicule. L'ouverture 30 pratiquée dans la face supérieure 35 du repose-pied 3, est destinée à être obturée par une trappe 8 (représentée partiellement sur cette figure), de forme rectangulaire, réalisée par exemple en résine, et recouverte d'une fine épaisseur de moquette, laquelle trappe 8 est articulée par l'un 80 de ses bords longitudinaux, sur le bord longitudinal gauche 30a de ladite ouverture 30. Bien qu'articulée dans cette réalisation particulière, il doit être entendu que cette trappe 8 pourrait également être entièrement amovible.Two orifices 31, 32 of oblong shape, are provided respectively at the lower and upper ends of the upper face 35 of the footrest 3, and allow the connection of the fuse holder box 50, by its two opposite ends 52, 51, to the rear electrical harness 7 and the central harness 6 located in the dashboard of the vehicle. The opening 30 made in the upper face 35 of the footrest 3, is intended to be closed by a hatch 8 (partially shown in this figure), of rectangular shape, made for example of resin, and covered with a thin thickness carpet, which hatch 8 is articulated by one 80 of its longitudinal edges, on the left longitudinal edge 30a of said opening 30. Although articulated in this particular embodiment, it should be understood that this hatch 8 could also be entirely removable.
On remarquera également sur cette figure que le boltier 5, ainsi que l'ouverture 30 de passage dudit boîtier 5 dans le repose-pieds 3, présentent une grande longueur dans la direction longitudinale du véhicule, et que le faisceau électrique arrière 7 s'étend à partir du boîtier 5, en passant par l'orifice de passage oblong 31, parallèlement au plancher 1 à l'intérieur du revêtement d'insonorisation il sous une garniture 10 du plancher 1. It will also be noted in this figure that the bolt bowl 5, as well as the opening 30 for the passage of said housing 5 in the footrest 3, have a great length in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and that the rear electrical harness 7 extends from the housing 5, passing through the oblong passage orifice 31, parallel to the floor 1 inside the soundproofing covering it under a lining 10 of the floor 1.
Le montage pour la mise en service du dispositif, va être décrit brièvement à travers ce qui suit en référence à la figure unique. The assembly for the commissioning of the device will be described briefly through the following with reference to the single figure.
Le boîtier 5 porte-fusibles 50 est introduit dans le repose-pied 3 par l'ouverture 30 ménagée dans sa face supérieure 35, dans lequel il est guidé et maintenu par un support 4 fixé audit repose-pieds 3. Puis, la connexion des deux extrémités opposées 52, 51 du boîtier 5, respectivement aux faisceaux électriques arrière 7 et central 6 est réalisée, après quoi l'ouverture 30 est recouverte par la trappe 8 pivotant par rapport au bord longitudinal gauche 30a de ladite ouverture 30. Les appareils électriques mis en service à l'arrière du véhicule peuvent alors être actionnés en toute sécurité, et le repose-pied 3 assurer sa fonction propre, le boîtier 5 dit porte-fusibles 50 et les faisceaux de câble associés étant parfaitement invisibles. Il est alors aisé d'accèder aux fusibles 50 par simple ouverture de la trappe 8, l'ensemble présentant une bonne insonorisation du fait que le boîtier 5 se trouve dans un espace clos. The fuse holder box 50 is introduced into the footrest 3 through the opening 30 formed in its upper face 35, in which it is guided and held by a support 4 fixed to said footrest 3. Then, the connection of the two opposite ends 52, 51 of the housing 5, respectively to the rear 7 and central 6 electrical harnesses are produced, after which the opening 30 is covered by the flap 8 pivoting relative to the left longitudinal edge 30a of said opening 30. Electric appliances put into service at the rear of the vehicle can then be actuated safely, and the footrest 3 ensure its proper function, the housing 5 says fuse holder 50 and the associated cable bundles being perfectly invisible. It is then easy to access the fuses 50 by simple opening of the hatch 8, the assembly having good soundproofing because the housing 5 is located in an enclosed space.
On a donc réalisé grâce à l'invention, un dispositif de protection d'appareils électriques présentant une accessibilité particulièrement facilitée du fait de sa localisation dans le plancher, par une ouverture de la trappe, et permettant une libération du volume dans la planche de bord, l'ensemble pouvant être manipulé de façon particulièrement silencieuse. Thanks to the invention, a device for protecting electrical devices has therefore been produced, having a particularly facilitated accessibility due to its location in the floor, by an opening of the hatch, and allowing a release of the volume in the dashboard. , the assembly being able to be handled in a particularly silent manner.
Bien entendu l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'a titre d'exemple. Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated, which has been given only by way of example.
Au contraire, l'invention comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons si celles-ci sont effectuées suivant son esprit. On the contrary, the invention includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if these are carried out according to the spirit.
