Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un nouveau type de véhicule modulaire destiné å obtenir des résultats particuliers tant au niveau de la fabrication que de l'exploitation. The present invention relates to a new type of modular vehicle intended to obtain particular results both in terms of manufacturing and operation.
L'invention part de la constatation que les véhicules modernes sont d'un prix élevé du fait de leur sophistication et du grand nombre de pièces et dispositifs qui doivent être montés dans la caisse elle-même établie sur une plate-forme. The invention starts from the observation that modern vehicles are expensive because of their sophistication and the large number of parts and devices which have to be mounted in the body itself established on a platform.
En outre, les réparations et même l'entretien des véhicules modernes sont onéreux du fait des difficultées d'acces et des montages et démontages des éléments mécaniques. In addition, repairs and even maintenance of modern vehicles are expensive due to the difficulties of access and assembly and disassembly of mechanical elements.
L'invention vise 9 obtenir un véhicule dont la caisse peut être d'un type quelconque, par exemple un type dit de conduite intérieure, un type dit de camionnette et éventuellement un type dit coupé ou décapotable sans qu'il en résulte aucune modification de l'ensemble plate-forme, caisse, groupe motopropulseur. The invention aims to obtain a vehicle whose body can be of any type, for example a so-called type of sedan, a type of van and possibly a so-called coupe or convertible type without any resulting modification. the platform, body, and powertrain assembly.
Supplémentairement, l'invention a pour objet de faire en sorte que le véhicule qu'elle crée puisse, le cas échéant, voir l'ensemble de son groupe motopropulseur changer en quelques minutes par un personnel non spécialisé ou par l'utilisateur lui-mEme pour conduire a un type d'exploitation non envisagée jusqu'alors en faisant, par exemple, que le véhicule soit vendu au public sans groupe motopropulseur et que ce groupe soit simplement loué et changé en cas d'avarie quelconque. Ce changement peut s'effectuer a des emplacements pratiquement indifférents tels que des stations-service, des supermarchés, a partir de véhicules d'intervention, le changement lui-même étant assuré par un personnel n'ayant besoin d'aucune qualification. Additionally, the object of the invention is to ensure that the vehicle which it creates can, if necessary, have its entire powertrain changed in a few minutes by non-specialized personnel or by the user himself. to lead to a type of operation not envisaged until then by making, for example, that the vehicle is sold to the public without powertrain and that this group is simply rented and changed in the event of any damage. This change can be made at practically indifferent locations such as service stations, supermarkets, from emergency vehicles, the change itself being carried out by personnel who need no qualifications.
Conformément à l'invention, le véhicule modulaire est caractérisé en ce qu'un module de plate-forme de support d'un module de caisse est aménagé pour délimiter, à sa partie arrière, un plancher surélevé ménageant une cavité pour le logement d'un module motopropulseur complet et monobloc dont les carters du mécanisme moteur et du mécanisme de transmission aux roues sont reliés rigidement entre eux, ainsi qu'a des éléments et blocs de suspension, fixés 9 la plate-forme par des moyens d'attaches rapides du type boulons. According to the invention, the modular vehicle is characterized in that a platform module support module for a body module is arranged to delimit, at its rear part, a raised floor providing a cavity for the housing of a complete, monobloc powertrain whose casings of the motor mechanism and of the transmission mechanism to the wheels are rigidly connected to each other, as well as to suspension elements and blocks, fixed to the platform by means of quick couplers of the bolt type.
Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortent d'ailleurs de la description détaillée qui suit. Various other characteristics of the invention will also emerge from the detailed description which follows.
Une forme de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention est représentée, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, au dessin annexé. An embodiment of the object of the invention is shown, by way of nonlimiting example, in the accompanying drawing.
La fig. 1 est une élévation schématique d'un véhicule mettant en oeuvre l'invention. Fig. 1 is a schematic elevation of a vehicle implementing the invention.
La fig. 2 est une perspective partielle, à plus grande echelle, vue de dessus et de trois quarts d'un mode de réalisation de la plate-forme et du module constituant le groupe motopropulseur du véhicule de la fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a partial perspective, on a larger scale, seen from above and three-quarters of an embodiment of the platform and of the module constituting the powertrain of the vehicle of FIG. 1.
La fig. 3 est une perspective vue de trois quarts arrière, correspondant à la fig. 2, la plate-forme et la caisse du véhicule n'étant pas représentées. Fig. 3 is a perspective view from three rear quarters, corresponding to FIG. 2, the platform and the body of the vehicle not being shown.
La fig. 4 est une vue de dessus correspondant à la fig. 3. Fig. 4 is a top view corresponding to FIG. 3.
Les fig. 5 à 7 sont des élévations schématiques du véhicule dans différentes positions caractéristiques. Figs. 5 to 7 are schematic elevations of the vehicle in different characteristic positions.
La fig. 8 est une perspective vue de trois quarts arriere de la caisse du véhicule. Fig. 8 is a perspective view from three rear quarters of the vehicle body.
La fig. 9 est une élévation latérale schématique correspondant à la fig. 8 et illustrant une caractéristique particulière. Fig. 9 is a schematic side elevation corresponding to FIG. 8 and illustrating a particular characteristic.
Le véhicule illustré au dessin comporte un module de caisse 1 monté sur un module de plate-forme 2 dont la structure est prévue pour former un décrochement 3 par rapport à un plancher principal 4. The vehicle illustrated in the drawing comprises a body module 1 mounted on a platform module 2, the structure of which is designed to form a step 3 relative to a main floor 4.
Le décrochement 3 mène à un plancher secondaire 5 s'étendant depuis la partie antérieure de l'assise 6 des sièges jusqu'au pare-chocs ou bouclier 7. The recess 3 leads to a secondary floor 5 extending from the front part of the seat 6 of the seats to the bumper or shield 7.
Pour illustrer de manière claire une des caractéristiques principales de l'invention, la plate-forme 2 est illustrée a la fig. 2 par une structure résistante comprenant ou délimitant deux longerons 8, 9 réunis notamment par des traverses 10, 11. Le plancher 5 peut outre constitué par une simple tôle recouvrant les longerons et la traverse ou bien ce sont les longerons ou traverses qui peuvent etre délimités par des emboutis d'un caisson formant le module de plate-forme. To clearly illustrate one of the main features of the invention, the platform 2 is illustrated in FIG. 2 by a resistant structure comprising or delimiting two longitudinal members 8, 9 joined in particular by cross-members 10, 11. The floor 5 may furthermore consist of a simple sheet covering the longitudinal members and the cross-member or it is the longitudinal members or cross-members which can be delimited by stampings of a box forming the platform module.
Le groupe motopropulseur 12 est réalisé de façon monobloc à partir des carters d'un moteur 13, d'un embrayage 14, d'une boite de vitesse 15 d'un différentiel 16, de supports et d'accessoires tels qu'un filtre à air 17, un pot d'échappement 18, etc. pour constituer un module indépendant. The powertrain 12 is produced in a single piece from the casings of an engine 13, of a clutch 14, of a gearbox 15 of a differential 16, of supports and accessories such as a filter with air 17, exhaust 18, etc. to constitute an independent module.
Le différentiel 16 comporte deux demi-arbres de sortie 19, 20 pour entraîner des roues 21, 22. Les demi-arbres sont guidés dans des paliers 23, 24, eux-même reliés rigidement aux carters du groupe ou module motopropulseur 12 ainsi que l'illustrent en particulier les fig. 3 et 4. The differential 16 comprises two output half-shafts 19, 20 for driving the wheels 21, 22. The half-shafts are guided in bearings 23, 24, themselves rigidly connected to the casings of the power unit or powertrain 12 as well as the 'illustrate in particular fig. 3 and 4.
Les paliers 23, 24 peuvent être remplacés par des trompettes formées à partir du carter de différentiel. The bearings 23, 24 can be replaced by trumpets formed from the differential housing.
Les enveloppes des paliers 23, 24 sont reliées par des pattes 25, 26 à un élément de suspension 27, par exemple une lame élastique en résine armée associée à un amortisseur qui comporte, à sa partie médiane, un plot de fixation 28. The envelopes of the bearings 23, 24 are connected by lugs 25, 26 to a suspension element 27, for example an elastic blade of reinforced resin associated with a shock absorber which comprises, at its middle part, a fixing stud 28.
Les carters du groupe motopropulseur 12 supportent latéralement des pattes de fixation 29, 30 par l'intermédiaire de blocs de suspension 31, 32 par exemple des blocs de caoutchouc. The casings of the powertrain 12 laterally support fixing lugs 29, 30 by means of suspension blocks 31, 32 for example rubber blocks.
La fig. 2 montre que les pattes de fixation 29, 30 de même que le plot de fixation 28 peuvent être directement fixés respectivement aux longerons 8 et 9 et à la traverse 10 par des boulons 33 analogues à des boulons de roue, lesdits boulons pouvant être serrés ou desserrés au moyen d'une manivelle 34 du genre de celle utilisée pour le maniement d'un cric. On réalise ainsi une liaison à trois points. Fig. 2 shows that the fixing lugs 29, 30 as well as the fixing stud 28 can be directly fixed respectively to the side members 8 and 9 and to the cross member 10 by bolts 33 similar to wheel bolts, said bolts being able to be tightened or loosened by means of a crank 34 of the kind used for handling a jack. This creates a three-point connection.
Le dessin montre que le module ou groupe motopropulseur 12 est agencé de manière que le moteur 13 soit presque horizontal, de façon que l'ensemble du module puisse etre logé comme l'illustrent les fig. 1, 2 et 5, dans la cavité 52 délimitée sous la plate-forme 2 par le décrochement 3. The drawing shows that the module or powertrain 12 is arranged so that the motor 13 is almost horizontal, so that the entire module can be housed as illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, in the cavity 52 delimited under the platform 2 by the recess 3.
Outre ce qui précède, les carters du groupe motopropulseur 12 comportent des connecteurs tels que ceux figurés en 35 et 36 aux fig. 2, 3 et 4. In addition to the above, the casings of the powertrain 12 include connectors such as those shown in 35 and 36 in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.
Le connecteur 35 est, par exemple, choisi pour permettre l'assemblage des canalisations de fluides, notamment de combustible , de liquide de freinage, de liquide de refroidissement et analogue. Au contraire, le connecteur 36 est d'un type choisi pour permettre des liaisons électriques. Au moins deux connecteurs sont, de préférence, utilisés pour séparer les liaisons fluides des liaisons électriques. The connector 35 is, for example, chosen to allow the assembly of fluid lines, in particular fuel, brake fluid, coolant and the like. On the contrary, the connector 36 is of a type chosen to allow electrical connections. At least two connectors are preferably used to separate the fluid connections from the electrical connections.
I1 est avantageux, comme cela est illustré par la fig. 1, que le réservoir de combustible 37 de même que la batterie 38 ainsi que d'autres accessoires soient disposés dans une traverse ou une poutre creuse 39 et constituent un module qui est rapporté pour faire partie de la plate-forme 2 en s'détendant transversalement à celle-ci pour constituer un corps résistant pouvant être renforcé par un arceau 40. I1 is advantageous, as illustrated in FIG. 1, that the fuel tank 37 as well as the battery 38 as well as other accessories are arranged in a cross member or a hollow beam 39 and constitute a module which is attached to form part of the platform 2 while extending transversely to the latter in order to constitute a resistant body which can be reinforced by an arch 40.
Le dessus de la poutre creuse 39 peut aussi former un support pour les sieges avant 41 tandis que les assises 6 des sièges arrière sont portées sur le plancher secondaire 5. The top of the hollow beam 39 can also form a support for the front seats 41 while the seats 6 of the rear seats are carried on the secondary floor 5.
La disposition ci-dessus due à la présence du groupe motopropulseur 12 dans la cavité 35 fait que le plancher secondaire 5 est surélevé par rapport au plancher principal 4, de sorte que les passagers arrière occupent une position relativement haute, ce qui favorise une vision panoramique depuis l'intérieur du véhicule. The above arrangement due to the presence of the powertrain 12 in the cavity 35 means that the secondary floor 5 is raised relative to the main floor 4, so that the rear passengers occupy a relatively high position, which favors a panoramic view from inside the vehicle.
Des logements, par exemple des emboutis, sont avantageusement délimités dans la paroi de la poutre creuse ou module 39 pour que les passagers arrière puissent y engager les pieds comme illustré schématiquement à la fig. 1. Housing, for example stampings, are advantageously delimited in the wall of the hollow beam or module 39 so that the rear passengers can engage their feet there as illustrated diagrammatically in FIG. 1.
La disposition décrite dans ce qui précède permet de disposer une unité ou module de refroidissement, de ventilation et de climatisation 42 à la partie antérieure du véhicule, le liquide de refroidissement étant conduit à l'un des connecteurs, de préférence au connecteur 35, comme exposé dans ce qui précède. The arrangement described in the foregoing makes it possible to have a cooling, ventilation and air conditioning unit or module 42 at the front part of the vehicle, the coolant being led to one of the connectors, preferably to connector 35, as set out in the above.
En se référant aux fig. 5 à 7, on constate qu'en cas d'avarie du groupe motopropulseur ou des accessoires qui le composent, un démontage et un remontage éventuels peuvent être réalisés en un laps de temps très court. Il suffit en effet de disposer un cric 43 sous la plate-forme 2 en avant du groupe motopropulseur et de soulever le véhicule comme illustré par la fig. 6. Referring to fig. 5 to 7, it can be seen that in the event of damage to the powertrain or the accessories which compose it, disassembly and possible reassembly can be carried out in a very short period of time. It suffices in fact to have a jack 43 under the platform 2 in front of the powertrain and to lift the vehicle as illustrated in FIG. 6.
Le cric 23 fait avantageusement partie intégrante du véhicule pour éviter toute manoeuvre de mise en place, sa commande étant assurée par un vérin à vis ou hydraulique accessible depuis l'intérieur du véhicule et pouvant être actionné par la manivelle 34.. The jack 23 is advantageously an integral part of the vehicle to avoid any setting up maneuver, its control being ensured by a screw or hydraulic jack accessible from inside the vehicle and which can be actuated by the crank 34 ..
Après soulèvement du véhicule, une chandelle 44 munie d'une roue, est extraite ou mise en place dans un logement prévu à cet effet dans les carters du groupe motopropulseur et les boulons 33 sont dévissés, ces boulons étant accessibles depuis l'intérieur du véhicule. After lifting the vehicle, a jack 44 fitted with a wheel is extracted or placed in a housing provided for this purpose in the casings of the powertrain and the bolts 33 are unscrewed, these bolts being accessible from inside the vehicle .
I1 est ainsi possible d'extraire le groupe motopropulseur comme illustré par la fig. 7. It is thus possible to extract the powertrain as illustrated in FIG. 7.
Une réparation peut ainsi être effectuée facilement et, le cas échéant, l'ensemble du groupe motopropulseur, y compris les roues qui en font partie, peuvent etre changés par un véhicule d'intervention ou par un autre moyen. A repair can thus be carried out easily and, if necessary, the entire powertrain, including the wheels which are part thereof, can be changed by an intervention vehicle or by another means.
La position occupée par le véhicule à la fig. 6 fait que les connecteurs 35, 36 sont facilement accessibles de sorte que l'ensemble des canalisations, conduites et analogues peuvent être mises en place de façon simple en un court laps de temps. The position occupied by the vehicle in fig. 6 makes the connectors 35, 36 easily accessible so that all of the pipes, conduits and the like can be put in place in a simple manner in a short period of time.
Etant donné que le plancher secondaire 5 est relativement élevé, il occupe une position se trouvant sensiblement dans le même plan horizontal que le dessus du pare-chocs ou bouclier 7. Since the secondary floor 5 is relatively high, it occupies a position lying substantially in the same horizontal plane as the top of the bumper or shield 7.
Ainsi, il devient avantageux de fermer la partie arrière de la caisse par le panneau amovible 45, par exemple en matiere plastique qui peut être réalisé par moulage ou un autre moyen bon marché connu de la technique. Thus, it becomes advantageous to close the rear part of the box with the removable panel 45, for example made of plastic which can be produced by molding or another inexpensive means known in the art.
Le panneau 45 est, de préférence, relié à la caisse 1 par des biellettes 46, des câbles ou analogues, ce qui est illustré par la fig. 9 en permettant de dégager complètement l'arrière de la caisse 1 pour donner un accès direct au plancher secondaire 5 dont la partie se trouvant derrière les sièges arrière 6 forme coffre à bagages. I1 résulte de la hauteur du plancher secondaire 5 que le panneau 45 est de faible hauteur de sorte que les biellettes ou câbles peuvent le maintenir au-dessus du sol ainsi que l'illustre la fig. 9. The panel 45 is preferably connected to the body 1 by connecting rods 46, cables or the like, which is illustrated in FIG. 9 allowing the rear of the body 1 to be completely cleared to give direct access to the secondary floor 5, the part of which is behind the rear seats 6 forms a luggage compartment. I1 results from the height of the secondary floor 5 that the panel 45 is of low height so that the rods or cables can hold it above the ground as illustrated in FIG. 9.
L'ensemble du plancher secondaire 5 peut aussi constituer le plancher d'une soute si les sièges arrière 6 ne sont pas utilisés ou sont repliés d'une manière quelconque connue de la technique. The whole of the secondary floor 5 can also constitute the floor of a hold if the rear seats 6 are not used or are folded up in any manner known in the art.
La mise en oeuvre du panneau amovible 45 permet la mise en place d'un volet transparent 47 pouvant être monté sur des articulations 48. The use of the removable panel 45 enables the installation of a transparent flap 47 which can be mounted on joints 48.
Lorsqutun tel volet transparent est mis en oeuvre, il est avantageux que les feux de signalisation arrière 49 du véhicule soient disposés à l'intérieur dudit véhicule derrière le volet transparent, ce qui évite de devoir réaliser des feux étanches. When such a transparent flap is used, it is advantageous for the rear signal lights 49 of the vehicle to be arranged inside said vehicle behind the transparent flap, which avoids having to produce watertight lights.
On ne sortirait pas du cadre de l'invention en reliant le panneau 45 au volet transparent 47 qui constituerait de la sorte un hayon remplissant la même fonction que le panneau et le volet transparent. It would not go beyond the scope of the invention to connect the panel 45 to the transparent flap 47 which would thus constitute a tailgate fulfilling the same function as the panel and the transparent flap.
L'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation, représenté et décrit en détail, car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre. En particulier, le volet transparent 47 peut être mis à profit pour monter un essuie-vitres 50, de préférence du type rotatif. The invention is not limited to the embodiment, shown and described in detail, because various modifications can be made without departing from its scope. In particular, the transparent flap 47 can be used to mount a wiper 50, preferably of the rotary type.
