Description
Caisse de véhicule automobile à rideau séparant le poste de conduite de l'espace chargement
On connaît déjà une caisse de véhicule automobile comprenant une cloison de séparation s'étendant transversalement au sens de déplacement du véhicule et délimitant un poste de conduite et un espace de chargement.Motor vehicle body with curtain separating the driving position from the loading area
A motor vehicle body is already known comprising a partition dividing transversely to the direction of movement of the vehicle and delimiting a driving position and a loading space.
Cette cloison empêche le conducteur ou le passager installé dans le poste de conduite de prendre un objet se trouvant dans l'espace de chargement ou d'accéder directement à l'espace de chargement. This partition prevents the driver or passenger installed in the driving position from picking up an object in the cargo area or from accessing the cargo area directly.
Si l'on ne prévoit pas de moyen de séparation, les objets embarqués dans l'espace de chargement peuvent, en cas de collision, être projetés dans le poste de conduite et blesser le conducteur ou son passager. If no means of separation are provided, objects carried in the cargo area may, in the event of a collision, be thrown into the driving position and injure the driver or his passenger.
L'invention concilie la possibilité de protéger les personnes se trouvant dans le poste de conduite et celle de pouvoir accéder librement du poste de conduite à l'espace de chargement et d'y prendre un objet. The invention reconciles the possibility of protecting people in the driving position and that of being able to freely access the driving position in the loading space and take an object from it.
Suivant l'invention, les moyens de séparation comprennent un rideau transversal escamoté en position normale et un mécanisme de déploiement du rideau actionné par un actionneur pyrotechnique lui-même commandé par un capteur de choc. According to the invention, the separation means comprise a transverse curtain retracted in normal position and a curtain deployment mechanism actuated by a pyrotechnic actuator itself controlled by a shock sensor.
En position normale, le rideau est escamoté et le passager ou le conducteur ont accès librement à l'espace de chargement. Dès qu'une collision se produit et que le passager ou le conducteur court le danger d'être blessé par la projection dans le poste de conduite d'un objet se trouvant dans l'espace de chargement, le capteur de choc commande l'actionneur pyrotechnique, lequel actionne le mécanisme de déploiement du rideau. Le rideau est tiré et sépare bien le poste de conduite de l'espace de chargement. In normal position, the curtain is folded down and the passenger or driver have free access to the cargo area. As soon as a collision occurs and the passenger or driver is in danger of being injured by the projection in the driver's seat of an object in the cargo area, the shock sensor controls the actuator pyrotechnic, which activates the curtain deployment mechanism. The curtain is drawn and separates the driving position from the cargo area.
De préférence, le rideau déployé sépare sensiblement sans lacune le poste de conduite de l'espace de chargement. Cela suppose une course assez longue du rideau que le mécanisme de déploiement doit pouvoir assurer. Pour que ce mécanisme de déploiement n'ait pas de trop grandes dimensions, ce qui le rendrait difficile à embarquer sur un véhicule automobile, il est prévu, suivant un mode de réalisation très avantageux de l'invention, une démultiplication entre l'actionneur et le rideau. Une course relativement petite donnée par l'actionneur se transforme en une course bien plus grande du rideau. Preferably, the deployed curtain separates substantially without gap the driving position from the loading space. This assumes a fairly long curtain stroke that the deployment mechanism must be able to ensure. So that this deployment mechanism does not have too large dimensions, which would make it difficult to embark on a motor vehicle, there is provided, according to a very advantageous embodiment of the invention, a reduction between the actuator and the curtain. A relatively small stroke given by the actuator turns into a much larger stroke of the curtain.
Le moyen le plus simple de monter le rideau est de prévoir un rouleau sur lequel il est enroulé en position normale. Pour empêcher le rideau de prendre de la flèche dans le sens de déplacement du véhicule, les bords du rideau qui sont verticaux quand il est déployé comportent des moyens qui le retiennent. Ces moyens peuvent être notamment des surépaisseurs qui sont engagées dans des glissières sans possibilité d'en sortir dans le sens transversal. The simplest way to mount the curtain is to provide a roller on which it is wound in the normal position. To prevent the curtain from taking an arrow in the direction of movement of the vehicle, the edges of the curtain which are vertical when it is deployed have means which retain it. These means may in particular be extra thicknesses which are engaged in slides without the possibility of leaving them in the transverse direction.
Pour que le rideau ne se déroule pas peu à peu sous l'effet de secousses, il est prévu un moyen le maintenant enroulé, la force de maintien étant inférieure à la force de déploiement appliquée par le mécanisme de déploiement. So that the curtain does not unwind little by little under the effect of shaking, there is provided a means now keeping it rolled up, the holding force being less than the deployment force applied by the deployment mechanism.
Au dessin annexé, donné uniquement à titre d'exemple: la Figure 1 est une vue en élévation partiellement en coupe d'une caisse de véhicule automobile et la Figure 2 est une vue schématique du rideau dans le sens de la flèche F de la
Figure 1.In the accompanying drawing, given only by way of example: FIG. 1 is a partially sectioned elevation view of a motor vehicle body and FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the curtain in the direction of arrow F of the
Figure 1.
Le véhicule automobile représenté à la Figure 1 comprend une caisse 1 au plafond 2 de laquelle est fixé un rouleau 3, libre en rotation autour de son axe, sur lequel est enroulé un rideau 4. Le rideau 4 sépare transversalement l'intérieur de la caisse en un poste de conduite 5 muni d'un siège 6 et en un espace 7 de chargement destiné à recevoir une cargaison. II est prévu à l'avant de la caisse un capteur 8 de choc. The motor vehicle shown in Figure 1 comprises a body 1 to the ceiling 2 which is fixed a roller 3, free to rotate about its axis, on which is wound a curtain 4. The curtain 4 transversely separates the interior of the body in a driving position 5 provided with a seat 6 and in a loading space 7 intended to receive a cargo. A shock sensor 8 is provided at the front of the body.
En se reportant à la Figure 2, le capteur de choc 8 est relié par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison 9 électronique à un actionneur 26 pyrotechnique composé d'une charge 10 pyrotechnique, d'un piston 11 et d'un vérin 12. La charge 10 pyrotechnique est susceptible de repousser le piston 11 du vérin 12. A la Figure 2, la position normale du piston 11 est représentée en tirets, tandis que sa position en cas d'actionnement est représentée en traits pleins. Le piston 11 est relié à un câble 13 enroulé en position normale sur une poulie 14 de même axe qu'une autre poulie 15 de plus grand diamètre. En deux points 16 et 17 diamétralement opposés de la poulie 15 sont fixés deux câbles 18 et 19 qui, par l'intermédiaire de galets 20, 21 de renvoi, attaquent le bas du rideau 4 symétriquement. Les bords verticaux du rideau comportent des surépaisseurs 22, 23 qui coulissent dans des glissières 24, 25 fixées aux côtés de la caisse 1. Referring to FIG. 2, the shock sensor 8 is connected via an electronic link 9 to a pyrotechnic actuator 26 composed of a pyrotechnic charge 10, a piston 11 and a jack 12. The pyrotechnic charge 10 is capable of repelling the piston 11 of the jack 12. In FIG. 2, the normal position of the piston 11 is shown in dashes, while its position in the event of actuation is shown in solid lines. The piston 11 is connected to a cable 13 wound in the normal position on a pulley 14 of the same axis as another pulley 15 of larger diameter. At two diametrically opposite points 16 and 17 of the pulley 15 are fixed two cables 18 and 19 which, via idler rollers 20, 21, attack the bottom of the curtain 4 symmetrically. The vertical edges of the curtain include extra thicknesses 22, 23 which slide in slides 24, 25 fixed to the sides of the body 1.
Lorsque le rideau est enroulé, sa dernière spire est collée ou fixée d'une autre manière sur son avant-dernière spire en sorte qu'il ne peut pas se dérouler de soi-même. When the curtain is rolled up, its last turn is glued or fixed in another way to its penultimate turn so that it cannot unroll itself.
En position normale, le rouleau 4 est enroulé et le passager du véhicule a libre accès à l'espace de chargement. In the normal position, the roller 4 is wound up and the passenger of the vehicle has free access to the loading space.
Si une collision se produit, le capteur de choc 8 la détecte et par la liaison 9 électronique déclenche la charge 10 pyrotechnique, laquelle repousse le piston 11 vers la position représentée en traits pleins le plus à gauche à la Figure 2. If a collision occurs, the shock sensor 8 detects it and by the electronic link 9 triggers the pyrotechnic charge 10, which pushes the piston 11 towards the position shown in solid lines on the left most in FIG. 2.
II s'ensuit que le câble 13 est tiré vers la gauche à la Figure 2 et fait tourner la poulie 14 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. La poulie 15 qui est solidaire en rotation de la poulie 14 tourne dans le même sens et tire les câbles 18 et 19 en sorte que le rideau 4 se décolle et est tiré vers le bas. It follows that the cable 13 is pulled to the left in Figure 2 and rotates the pulley 14 clockwise. The pulley 15 which is integral in rotation with the pulley 14 rotates in the same direction and pulls the cables 18 and 19 so that the curtain 4 comes off and is pulled down.
