La présente invention a pour objet une jambe de suspension montée entre un élément de carrosserie d'un véhicule automobile et un portefusée, ladite jambe comprenant un amortisseur et un ressort, dans laquelle les extrémités supérieure et inférieure du ressort sont respectivement en appui sur une première coupelle montée à rotation sur un élément de liaison relié élastiquement à l'élément de carrosserie, et une deuxième coupelle.SUSPENSION LEG FOR MOTOR VEHICLE -
The subject of the present invention is a suspension strut mounted between a body element of a motor vehicle and a carrier, said strut comprising a shock absorber and a spring, in which the upper and lower ends of the spring are respectively supported on a first cup rotatably mounted on a connecting element elastically connected to the bodywork element, and a second cup.
La publication FR 2 442 732 décrit une jambe de suspension de ce type dans laquelle la seconde coupelle est rigidement fixée sur le corps d'amortisseur. La filtration des vibrations générées lors du roulage du véhicule étant assurée uniquement par l'élément élastique disposé au niveau de la partie supérieure de la jambe de force. En outre, la deuxième coupelle de cette jambe de force est rigidement fixée sur le corps de l'amortisseur.The publication FR 2 442 732 describes a suspension strut of this type in which the second cup is rigidly fixed on the damper body. The filtration of the vibrations generated during the running of the vehicle being ensured only by the elastic element placed at the level of the upper part of the strut. In addition, the second cup of this strut is rigidly fixed to the body of the shock absorber.
La capacité de filtration des vibrations d'une telle jambe de force est notamment limitée par les dimensions restreintes de l'élément en élastomère compatibles avec son implantation au niveau de la partie supérieure de la jambe de force.The vibration filtration capacity of such a strut is notably limited by the restricted dimensions of the elastomer element compatible with its location at the upper part of the strut.
La présente invention a pour objet de permettre une meilleure filtration des vibrations générées lors du roulage du véhicule ainsi qu'une diminution sensible du bruit de roulement perçu dans l'habitacle du véhicule.The object of the present invention is to allow better filtration of the vibrations generated during the running of the vehicle as well as a significant reduction in the rolling noise perceived in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.
Selon l'invention, la deuxième coupelle est montée avec un jeu radial sur le corps d'amortisseur et un élément élastique solidarise la deuxième coupelle à un élément de retenue porté par le corps de l'amortisseur.According to the invention, the second cup is mounted with a radial clearance on the damper body and an elastic element secures the second cup to a retaining element carried by the body of the damper.
De manière avantageuse, I'élément élastique est constitué par un bloc élastomère qui entoure le corps de l'amortisseur. Advantageously, the elastic element consists of an elastomer block which surrounds the body of the shock absorber.
Avantageusement encore, le bloc élastomère comporte des portées de centrage en contact avec la deuxième coupelle d'une part et l'élément de retenue d'autre part.Advantageously also, the elastomer block has centering surfaces in contact with the second cup on the one hand and the retaining element on the other hand.
Selon une caractéristique de la présente invention, l'élément de retenue est disposé entre la deuxième coupelle et le porte-fusée.According to a characteristic of the present invention, the retaining element is arranged between the second cup and the stub axle.
On comprendra mieux les buts, aspects et caractéristiques de la présente invention d'après la description donnée ci-après d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention, présenté à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel - la figure 1 représente une vue en coupe axiale d'une jambe de
suspension selon la présente invention.The aims, aspects and characteristics of the present invention will be better understood from the description given below of an embodiment of the invention, presented by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawing in which - Figure 1 shows an axial sectional view of a leg
suspension according to the present invention.
- les figures 2 et 3 représentent un second mode de réalisation de la
présente invention appliquée à une jambe de force dont le ressort
est disposé respectivement, de manière symétrique et de manière
excentrée par rapport au corps de la jambe de force.- Figures 2 and 3 show a second embodiment of the
present invention applied to a strut whose spring
is arranged symmetrically and so
eccentric to the body of the strut.
La jambe de suspension 1 représentée à la figure 1 comporte un amortisseur 1 appuyé à son extrémité inférieure sur un porte-fusée 3 d'une roue avant directrice 3', laquelle est entraînée par un arbre rotatif 3". La tige de piston 2" possède une extrémité supérieure filetée 2", de fixation à un élément de montage 4 de la jambe de suspension. Un élément en matériau élastomère 5 est adhérisé entre un élément de carrosserie 5' et un organe de liaison 5", tous deux en forme de cuvette. Des bagues métalliques 6 et 6', respectivement inférieure et supérieure, sont traversées par l'extrémité supérieure de la tige de piston 2". Ces bagues 6 et 6' sont solidarisées respectivement avec l'élément de montage 4 et l'organe de liaison 5". Un écrou 8 vissé sur l'extrémité supérieure de cette tige de piston la fixe à l'élément de montage 4. The suspension strut 1 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a shock absorber 1 supported at its lower end on a stub axle 3 of a front steering wheel 3 ', which is driven by a rotary shaft 3 ". The piston rod 2" has a threaded upper end 2 ", for attachment to a mounting element 4 of the suspension strut. An element of elastomeric material 5 is adhered between a body element 5 'and a connecting member 5", both in the form of bowl. Metal rings 6 and 6 ', respectively lower and upper, are crossed by the upper end of the piston rod 2 ". These rings 6 and 6' are secured respectively to the mounting element 4 and the connecting member 5 ". A nut 8 screwed onto the upper end of this piston rod fixes it to the mounting element 4.
Un roulement annulaire 7 comprend une cage supérieure 7' et une cage inférieure 7" enfermant entre elles une couronne de billes. La cage inférieure du roulement 7 s'appuie sur une collerette périphérique intérieure 12 d'une première coupelle d'appui 9'. La première coupelle 9' peut tourner par rapport à l'organe de liaison 5".An annular bearing 7 comprises an upper cage 7 'and a lower cage 7 "enclosing between them a ring of balls. The lower cage of the bearing 7 is supported on an inner peripheral flange 12 of a first support cup 9'. The first cup 9 'can rotate relative to the connecting member 5 ".
La première coupelle 9' est percée d'une ouverture centrale traversée par la tige du piston 2". La périphérie extérieure de la première coupelle 9' est appuyée sur la spire supérieure d'un ressort de suspension hélicoïdal 1' qui est enroulé en hélice vers le bas autour de la tige et du cylindre de la jambe de suspension pour venir s'appuyer sur une deuxième coupelle 9".The first cup 9 'is pierced with a central opening crossed by the piston rod 2 ". The outer periphery of the first cup 9' is supported on the upper turn of a helical suspension spring 1 'which is wound in a helix down around the rod and the suspension strut cylinder to come to rest on a second 9 "cup.
Une butée élastique de talonnage 1 1 est en contact avec la face inférieure de la première coupelle 9' et s'étend axialement le long de la tige de piston 2'.An elastic tailgating stop 1 1 is in contact with the underside of the first cup 9 'and extends axially along the piston rod 2'.
Grâce au ressort de suspension 1' monté entre la première coupelle 9' et la deuxième coupelle 9", la caisse du véhicule est élastiquement supportée ou suspendue, de sorte que les bosses ou autres irrégularités du revêtement routier rencontrées par la roue ne détériorent pas notablement le confort de roulement.Thanks to the suspension spring 1 'mounted between the first cup 9' and the second cup 9 ", the vehicle body is resiliently supported or suspended, so that the bumps or other irregularities of the road surface encountered by the wheel do not significantly deteriorate ride comfort.
Le texte qui va suivre fait référence aux figures I à 3. La deuxième coupelle 9" est montée sur le corps d'amortisseur 2' avec un jeu radial. La deuxième coupelle 9" est percée d'une ouverture que traverse le corps de l'amortisseur 2'. Le diamètre de l'ouverture est supérieur au diamètre extérieur du corps de l'amortisseur 2'. Un tel agencement autorise donc le débattement de la deuxième coupelle 9" par rapport au corps de l'amortisseur 2'.The following text refers to Figures I to 3. The second cup 9 "is mounted on the damper body 2 'with a radial clearance. The second cup 9" is pierced with an opening through which the body of the 'shock absorber 2'. The diameter of the opening is greater than the outside diameter of the body of the shock absorber 2 '. Such an arrangement therefore allows the movement of the second cup 9 "relative to the body of the shock absorber 2 '.
Un élément élastique 9, qui peut être notamment réalisé sous la forme d'un bloc élastomère entoure le corps d'amortisseur 2'. Cet élément élastique comporte des portées de centrage en contact avec la deuxième coupelle 9" d'une part et un élément de retenue 10 d'autre part.An elastic element 9, which can in particular be produced in the form of an elastomer block, surrounds the damper body 2 '. This elastic element has centering surfaces in contact with the second cup 9 "on the one hand and a retaining element 10 on the other hand.
L'élément de retenue 10 est disposé entre la deuxième coupelle 9" et le porte-fusée 3. Cet élément de retenue 10 est soudé sur le corps de l'amortisseur 2'. Il peut notamment présenter une partie centrale en forme de tronc de cône limitée par deux parties cylindriques.The retaining element 10 is disposed between the second cup 9 "and the stub axle 3. This retaining element 10 is welded to the body of the shock absorber 2 '. It can in particular have a central part in the form of a trunk of cone limited by two cylindrical parts.
La présente invention permet d'améliorer sensiblement la filtration des vibrations générées lors du roulage du véhicule. A cet effet, le bloc en élastomère peut présenter des dimensions relativement importantes. Des mesures physiologiques ont permis de constater que le bruit de roulement considéré comme gênant par les occupants du véhicule est compris dans une bande de fréquence située entre 100 et 300 Hertz. A titre d'exemple, la présente invention permet notamment d'obtenir une atténuation de l'ordre de 3 dB du bruit de roulement compris dans cette bande de fréquence.The present invention makes it possible to substantially improve the filtration of the vibrations generated during the running of the vehicle. To this end, the elastomer block can have relatively large dimensions. Physiological measurements have shown that the rolling noise considered to be annoying by the occupants of the vehicle is included in a frequency band between 100 and 300 Hertz. By way of example, the present invention makes it possible in particular to obtain an attenuation of the order of 3 dB of the rolling noise included in this frequency band.
Bien entendu, I'invention n'est nullement limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et illustrés qui n'ont été donnés qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described and illustrated which have been given only by way of example.
Au contraire, I'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 as well as their combinations if they are carried out according to the spirit.
