Description

La présente invention concerne un système de contrôle de distance pour des véhicules automobiles et plus particulièrement des porte-plaque d'immatriculation pour véhicules ou des supports montés sur ces porte-plaque ou sur leurs vis de fixation, dans lesquels sont incorporés des transducteurs pour détecter et signaler l'approche progressive d'obstacles pendant des manoeuvres et/ou des parcages d'un véhicule. Ces transducteurs sont également utilisables en deuxième monte sur n'importe quel véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to a distance control system for motor vehicles and more particularly to license plate holders for vehicles or supports mounted on these plate holders or on their fixing screws, in which transducers are incorporated for detecting and signal the progressive approach to obstacles during maneuvers and / or parking of a vehicle. These transducers can also be retrofitted on any motor vehicle.

Il est actuellement bien connu, dans le domaine automobile, que l'on a réalisé des systèmes a ultrasons capables de signaler l'approche progressive d'obstacles au cours de manoeuvres ou de parcages Ces systèmes, très semblables à un système sonar, assument leurs fonctions en signalant par voie acoustique, au moyen de "bips" de plus en plus proches, ou bien par voie visuelle, au moyen d'une barrette de diodes électrolurninescentes, la diminution progressive de la distance entre un véhicule et un obstacle. It is currently well known, in the automotive field, that ultrasound systems have been produced capable of signaling the progressive approach of obstacles during maneuvers or parking. These systems, very similar to a sonar system, assume their functions by signaling acoustically, by means of increasingly close "beeps", or else visually, by means of a strip of light-emitting diodes, the progressive reduction in the distance between a vehicle and an obstacle.

Le nombre des transducteurs utilisés peut varier en fonction de la précision et du champ que l'on désire couvrir. Il est devenu par conséquent indispensable, dans le domaine automobile, que l'on puisse prévoir l'emploi d'un tel système de telle façon que les transducteurs puissent être mis en position sans difficulté excessive et par-dessus tout sans avoir à percer des trous dans la carrossene ou dans les pare-chocs. The number of transducers used can vary depending on the accuracy and the field you want to cover. It has therefore become essential, in the automotive field, that provision can be made for the use of such a system in such a way that the transducers can be brought into position without undue difficulty and above all without having to drill holes. holes in the body or in the bumpers.

L'inconvénient qui résulte de la construction logique actuelle consiste essentiellement dans le fait que les dispositifs précités peuvent être montés à l'origine uniquement sur des voitures neuves, en usine, et non pas sur des véhicules existants, dépourvus initialement de ces dispositifs. The drawback which results from the current logical construction essentially consists in the fact that the aforementioned devices can be originally fitted only on new cars, in the factory, and not on existing vehicles, initially devoid of these devices.

Le but de la présente invention est de supprimer cet inconvénient. The object of the present invention is to eliminate this drawback.

A cet effet, ce système de contrôle de distance pour des véhicules automobiles est caractérisé en ce que le châssis porte-plaque d'immatnculation est pourvu d'au moins un siège ou oeillet pour le logement et le montage de transducteurs ou bien est pourvu d'au moins un support présentant un siège ou oeillet pour le logement et le montage d'un transducteur et d'un trou pour le passage et l'attache de vls de fixation du châssis au véhicule automobile. To this end, this distance control system for motor vehicles is characterized in that the registration plate chassis is provided with at least one seat or eyelet for housing and mounting transducers or is provided with '' at least one support having a seat or eyelet for housing and mounting a transducer and a hole for the passage and attachment of vls for fixing the chassis to the motor vehicle.

L'invention offre l'avantage que les transducteurs peuvent être montés de la même façon et avec la même facilité aussl bien au cours du premier montage sur des véhicules neufs en cours de fabrication qu'en seconde monte sur des véhicules déjà en circulation. Un autre avantage est que le ou les transducteurs peuvent être montés directement sur le porte-plaque d'immatriculation ou sur des moyens de support de ces porte-plaques et de la plaque elle-même. The invention offers the advantage that the transducers can be mounted in the same way and with the same ease as well during the first assembly on new vehicles during manufacture as in the second assembly on vehicles already in circulation. Another advantage is that the transducer or transducers can be mounted directly on the license plate holder or on means for supporting these plate holders and the plate itself.

Les avantages procurés par la présente invention sont dus essentiellement au fait qu'elle fournit une solution d'application pratiquement universelle, simple et économique. The advantages provided by the present invention are essentially due to the fact that it provides a practically universal, simple and economical application solution.

On décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, diverses formes d'exécution de la presente invention, en référence aux dessines annexés sur lesquels
La figure 1 est une vue en élévation d'un premier exemple de réalisation d'un châssis porte-plaque d'immatriculation dans lequel est incorporé un siège pour un transducteur.Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below, by way of nonlimiting examples, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 is an elevational view of a first embodiment of a license plate chassis in which is incorporated a seat for a transducer.

La figure 2 est une vue en élévation d'une seconde forme d'exécution d'un châssis porteplaque d'immatriculation comportant plusieurs sièges de transducteurs. Figure 2 is an elevational view of a second embodiment of a license plate chassis comprising several transducer seats.

La figure 3 est une vue en élévation partielle d'un porte-plaque d'immatriculation traditionnel équipé de supports pour des transducteurs qui sont fixés au moyen des mêmes vis destinées à la fixation du porte-plaque lui-même au véhicule. FIG. 3 is a partial elevation view of a traditional license plate holder fitted with supports for transducers which are fixed by means of the same screws intended for fixing the plate holder itself to the vehicle.

Les figures représentent un système de contrôle de distance pour des véhicules automobiles dans lequel des transducteurs 1, pour la détection et la transmission de signaux de présence d'obstacles non visibles pendant des manoeuvres et/ou des parcages, sont montés sur des châssis 2 portant une plaque d'immatnculation. The figures represent a distance control system for motor vehicles in which transducers 1, for the detection and transmission of signals for the presence of obstacles not visible during maneuvers and / or parking, are mounted on chassis 2 carrying an registration plate.

Ainsi qu'il est bien connu, les châssis 2 doivent correspondre à des normes et tolérances bien précises aussi bien en ce qui concerne leurs dimensions qu'en ce qui concerne leurs positions sur les véhicules. La solution proposée suivant l'invention consiste à réaiiser les châssis porteplaque 2 de manière qu'ils soient préalablement adaptés pour la mise en position du ou des transducteurs I, les sièges faisant partie intégrale du châssis. De cette façon, on n'a pas à tenir compte du type de véhicule automobile et on a la certitude d'une mise en position correcte des transducteurs. As is well known, the chassis 2 must correspond to very precise standards and tolerances both with regard to their dimensions and with regard to their positions on the vehicles. The solution proposed according to the invention consists in reaiizing the plate carrier chassis 2 so that they are previously adapted for positioning the transducer (s) I, the seats forming an integral part of the chassis. In this way, we do not have to take into account the type of motor vehicle and we are certain that the transducers are correctly positioned.

Naturellement, on peut obtenir le même résultat en réalisant des supports 3 pour les transducteurs. ces supports 3 étant fixés au porte-plaque ou aux vls 4 assurant la fixation de la plaque d'immatnculation elle-même. Naturally, the same result can be obtained by producing supports 3 for the transducers. these supports 3 being fixed to the plate holder or to the vls 4 ensuring the fixing of the registration plate itself.

Il est ainsi posslble de réaliser un système de détection et de signalisation d'une distance pouvant s'insérer dans le marché de l'après vente et non pas nécessalrement en première monte sur les véhicules préagencés.  It is thus possible to make a system for detecting and signaling a distance which can be inserted in the after-sales market and not necessarily as original equipment on pre-arranged vehicles.

Suivant une première forme d'exécution, le châssis porte-plaque 2 est réalisé avec un seul siège ou "oeillet" 5 (figure 1), situé au centre de la partie supérieure du châssis, dans lequel peut être inséré et fixé un transducteur 1. According to a first embodiment, the plate-carrying chassis 2 is produced with a single seat or "eyelet" 5 (FIG. 1), located in the center of the upper part of the chassis, into which a transducer 1 can be inserted and fixed. .

Dans une seconde forme d'exécution, le châssis porte-plaque 2 peut être réalisé avec plusieurs sièges j' (figure 2) pour plusleurs transducteurs et par exemple les sièges 5' peuvent être réalisés à l'endroit des coins supéneurs ou inféneurs du châssis 2 ou en n'importe quelle autre position et chacun d'eux peut recevolr un transducteur. In a second embodiment, the plate-carrying chassis 2 can be produced with several seats j ′ (FIG. 2) for several transducers and for example the seats 5 ′ can be produced at the location of the upper or lower corners of the chassis 2 or in any other position and each of them can receive a transducer.

Suivant une autre forme d'exécution, des supports 3 (figure 3), pourvus de sièges ou "oeillets" 5" et de trous de fixation 6, sont fixés au châssis porte-plaque 2. Les transducteurs I peuvent être montés dans les sièges 5" et les supports 3 peuvent être attachés au châssis 2 au moyen des vis 4 qui, en passant à travers les trous 6, assurent la fixation des châssis sur les véhicules automobiles. According to another embodiment, supports 3 (FIG. 3), provided with seats or "eyelets" 5 "and fixing holes 6, are fixed to the plate-carrying chassis 2. The transducers I can be mounted in the seats 5 "and the supports 3 can be attached to the chassis 2 by means of the screws 4 which, passing through the holes 6, secure the chassis to the motor vehicles.

Bien que l'invention ait été représentée et décrite à propos de formes d'exécution données à titre d'exemple, les hommes du métier comprendront que divers changements, omissions et additions peuvent être mtroduites dans cette invention.  Although the invention has been shown and described in connection with exemplary embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, omissions and additions can be made to this invention.
