Abstract

The structure for the dashboard of a motor vehicle comprises a number of modules which constitute the controls necessary for driving the vehicle, for safety and for vehicle comfort. The modules which are arranged around the dashboard region of the vehicle are in the form of independent modules (A,B,C), at least certain of which are interchangeable. The arrangement may comprise a central module (B) and two side modules (A,C), the module A constituting the controls necessary for driving the vehicle. The central module (B) constitutes the air conditioning and temperature control. This is mounted centrally w.r.t. the vehicle longitudinal axis and contains those controls which are less directly linked to the essential driving of the vehicle. The third module (C) may contain spaces for installation of a portable computer, fax machine or other equipment.

Description

L'invention concerne un agencement de planche de bord pour véhicule automobile, du type comprenant une pluralité de modules comportant les dispositifs et éléments nécessaires notamment pour la conduite du véhicule, la sécurité, la climatisation et le rangement. The invention relates to a dashboard arrangement for a motor vehicle, of the type comprising a plurality of modules comprising the devices and elements necessary in particular for driving the vehicle, security, air conditioning and storage.

La simplification de la planche de bord a toujours éte un souci des constructeurs de véhicules automobiles. The simplification of the dashboard has always been a concern of motor vehicle manufacturers.

La croissance des équipements, surtout électroniques, la puissance de climatisation ainsi que les exigences de sécurité ont rendu les planches de bord de plus en plus complexes. De plus, les véhicules à conduite à droite imposent une symétrisation et donc de refaire les outillages. Etant donné que les planches sont figées en sortie de chaîne de fabrication, elles ne permettent pas ou seulement très rarement de rajouter des options. Tous les nouveaux équipements sont alors rajoutés en deuxième monte, avec les difficultés d'intégration que cela implique.The growth of equipment, especially electronic, air conditioning power and safety requirements have made dashboards more and more complex. In addition, right-hand drive vehicles require symmetrization and therefore remake the tools. Since the boards are frozen at the end of the production line, they do not allow or only very rarely add options. All new equipment is then added as an aftermarket, with the integration difficulties that this implies.

Le document EP-A-0083701 s'efforce de résoudre ce problème en proposant une planche de bord modulaire. Document EP-A-0083701 endeavors to solve this problem by proposing a modular dashboard.

Cependant, l'effort de modularisation reste largement insuffisant et ne concerne qu'une partie des éléments se trouvant au niveau de la planche de bord dans un véhicule automobile.However, the modularization effort remains largely insufficient and concerns only a part of the elements located at the dashboard in a motor vehicle.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un agencement de planche de bord allant plus loin dans la modularisation et la simplification du montage. The present invention aims to provide an arrangement of dashboard going further in the modularization and simplification of assembly.

Pour atteindre ce but, dans l'agencement selon l'invention, l'ensemble des éléments situés au niveau du tablier du véhicule se présente sous la forme de modules indépendants dont au moins certains sont interchangeables. To achieve this object, in the arrangement according to the invention, all of the elements located at the level of the vehicle bulkhead is in the form of independent modules, at least some of which are interchangeable.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'agencement comprend un module central et deux modules latéraux qui sont interchangeables et dont l'un constitue un module de conduite comprenant tous les éléments relatifs à la conduite du véhicule.  According to a characteristic of the invention, the arrangement comprises a central module and two lateral modules which are interchangeable and one of which constitutes a driving module comprising all the elements relating to driving the vehicle.

Selon une autre caractéristique de 1 invention, le module central comprend les moyens de climatisation et les éléments moins directement liés à la conduite et présente une structure symétrique par rapport au plan vertical médian du véhicule. According to another characteristic of 1 invention, the central module comprises the air conditioning means and the elements less directly linked to driving and has a symmetrical structure relative to the median vertical plane of the vehicle.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'autre module latéral est un module de rangement comprenant les espaces de rangement et de support d'éléments tels qu'un ordinateur portable, fax ou analogue. According to another characteristic of the invention, the other side module is a storage module comprising the storage spaces and support for elements such as a laptop, fax or the like.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres buts, caractéristiques, détails et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement dans la description explicative qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple illustrant un mode de réalisation de l'invention et dans lesquels

The invention will be better understood and other objects, characteristics, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the explanatory description which follows, made with reference to the appended schematic drawings given solely by way of example illustrating an embodiment. of the invention and in which
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a dashboard arrangement according to the present invention, of a motor vehicle with the steering wheel located on the left
- Figure 2 is a view of the arrangement according to Figure 1, but with the steering wheel located on the right
- Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the control module shown in III in Figure 1

- Figure 5 is an exploded and perspective view of the storage module indicated in V in Figure 1.

Les figures 1 et 2 représentent la partie avant de l'intérieur d'un véhicule automobile et on constate que la planche de bord est fractionnée en trois parties, à savoir un module de conduite A, un module central B et un module de rangement multifonctions C.  Figures 1 and 2 show the front part of the interior of a motor vehicle and we see that the dashboard is divided into three parts, namely a driving module A, a central module B and a multifunctional storage module vs.

Le module de conduite A comporte la totalité des éléments relatifs à la conduite du véhicule. Ainsi, comme l'illustre notamment la figure 3, le module de conduite est constitué essentiellement du support de colonne de direction 1 qui est fixé sur le plancher, lequel présente une partie inclinée formant tablier indiquée en 2 et se prolongeant vers l'avant par une surface sensiblement horizontale 3, et sur lequel se greffent les périphériques tels que la colonne de direction 5, avec le volant 6, le sélecteur de marche 7, le pédalier 8, le réservoir de liquide de frein 9, le réservoir de lave-glace 10, le dispositif essuie-glace 11 avec le moteur d'essuie-glace 12, le klaxon 13, le maître cylindre 14 et le connecteur général 15. Le tout est coiffé par la coque protectrice 17 qui est vissée sur le support de colonne 1. On voit encore sur la figure 3 le support de commodos 18 pour le commodo 18a servant à commander l'éclairage, les clignotants et le klaxon et le commodo d'essuyage 18b servant à la commande du dispositif essuie-glace 11. The driving module A includes all the elements relating to driving the vehicle. Thus, as illustrated in particular in FIG. 3, the control module essentially consists of the steering column support 1 which is fixed to the floor, which has an inclined part forming an apron indicated at 2 and extending forwards by a substantially horizontal surface 3, and on which are grafted the peripherals such as the steering column 5, with the steering wheel 6, the gear selector 7, the crankset 8, the brake fluid reservoir 9, the windshield washer reservoir 10, the wiper device 11 with the wiper motor 12, the horn 13, the master cylinder 14 and the general connector 15. The whole is covered by the protective shell 17 which is screwed onto the column support 1 FIG. 3 also shows the support for the commodos 18 for the commodo 18a used to control the lighting, the indicators and the horn and the wiping commodo 18b used for controlling the wiper device 11.

Ce module est pré-équipé sur la chaîne de fabrication et ensuite positionné dans le véhicule. Pour fixer le module de conduite dans le véhicule, il suffit de fixer la base de la colonne de direction 5 sur la crémaillère (non représentée), de fixer les conduites de frein sur le maître cylindre 14, de brancher le connecteur général 15, de fixer le balai d'essuie-glace sur l'axe du moteur 12 qui dépasse du trou préalablement percé dans la caisse, de remonter la coque protectrice 17 et de monter le volant 6. This module is pre-equipped on the production line and then positioned in the vehicle. To fix the driving module in the vehicle, just fix the base of the steering column 5 on the rack (not shown), fix the brake lines on the master cylinder 14, connect the general connector 15, fix the wiper blade on the axis of the motor 12 which protrudes from the hole previously drilled in the body, reassemble the protective shell 17 and mount the steering wheel 6.

On constate donc que le module de conduite A comporte la totalité des éléments relatifs à la conduite, y compris le volant, le pédalier et le sélecteur de marche et peut comporter en outre des éléments qui, habituellement, en sont séparés comme le maître cylindre et le réservoir de liquide de frein ou les éléments relatifs au fonctionnement de 1 'essuie- glace. Le module de conduite est donc un véritable poste indépendant qui peut se monter tel quel aussi bien à gauche (figure 1) qu'à droite (figure 2), sans adaptation telle que le prolongement de fils ou de tuyaux comme dans les véhicules actuels où le réservoir de liquide de frein, par exemple, est toujours au même endroit. Seulement de très légères adaptations sont nécessaires, comme l'orientation de l'essuie-glace. It can therefore be seen that the driving module A comprises all the elements relating to the driving, including the steering wheel, the pedals and the gear selector and may also comprise elements which, usually, are separated from them such as the master cylinder and the brake fluid reservoir or items relating to the operation of the wiper. The control module is therefore a real independent station which can be mounted as it is both on the left (Figure 1) and on the right (Figure 2), without adaptation such as the extension of wires or pipes as in current vehicles where the brake fluid reservoir, for example, is always in the same place. Only very slight adaptations are necessary, such as the orientation of the wiper.

Le module central B comporte essentiellement les moyens pour la climatisation et des éléments moins directement liés à la conduite, comme la radio, l'aide à la navigation, etc. Il peut être symétrique par rapport à son plan médian. En se référant à la figure 4, qui montre les composants du module central, on constate que les panneaux de conduits d'aération droit 20 et gauche 21 forment un caisson qui assure la rigidité du module. The central module B essentially comprises the means for air conditioning and elements less directly linked to driving, such as the radio, aids to navigation, etc. It can be symmetrical with respect to its median plane. Referring to FIG. 4, which shows the components of the central module, it can be seen that the right 20 and left 21 ventilation duct panels form a box which ensures the rigidity of the module.

Ces deux panneaux encadrent la structure du module central qui supporte tous les périphériques. Il n'y a pas de distributeur d'air. Les quatre aérateurs sphériques 23 assurent les fonctions d'ouverture/fermeture et direction du débit, en tournant sur eux-mêmes. Il sont placés de manière à assurer une ventilation du corps suivant un découpage haut/bas. Le filtre d'air 24, la résistance chauffante 25 et le pulseur d'air 26 forment un ensemble compact. L'arrivée d'air est assurée par une ouverture pratiquée au préalable dans la caisse. Le faisceau électrique 27 est réduit à un circuit imprimé souple "géant" qui vient coiffer l'ensemble des composants électriques et électroniques. Deux sacs gonflables 29, 30 pour le conducteur et le passager, montés symétriquement par rapport au plan médian, permettent de supprimer le sac gonflable de volant traditionnel.These two panels frame the structure of the central module which supports all the peripherals. There is no air distributor. The four spherical aerators 23 provide the opening / closing and flow direction functions, by turning on themselves. They are placed so as to ensure ventilation of the body according to a top / bottom cut. The air filter 24, the heating resistor 25 and the air blower 26 form a compact assembly. The air intake is ensured by an opening previously made in the box. The electrical harness 27 is reduced to a flexible "giant" printed circuit which covers all of the electrical and electronic components. Two air bags 29, 30 for the driver and the passenger, mounted symmetrically with respect to the median plane, make it possible to eliminate the traditional steering wheel air bag.

L'écran multifonction 32 assure l'instrumentation pour l'indication de la vitesse, de l'autonomie, du kilométrage et aussi pour l'affichage des fonctions secondaires (radio, température, aide à la navigation).  The multifunction screen 32 provides the instrumentation for indicating speed, range, mileage and also for displaying the secondary functions (radio, temperature, navigation aid).

Il sert aussi à activer les fonctions d'équipement, à l'aide d'interrupteurs non affectés (leur fonction apparaît uniquement après l'activation d'un menu principal). Par exemple, le même interrupteur peut servir à désembuer le pare-brise (dans le menu de chauffage), à changer de fréquence (dans le menu radio), et à recomposer le dernier numéro de téléphone (dans le menu téléphone). La figure 4 montre encore que le poste central comporte un chargeur de disques audionumériques 34, un dispositif entrée/sortie 35 d'un ordinateur individuel multimédia, un boîtier de cassettes 36 et des haut-parleurs 38. La référence 39 désigne le connecteur général pour le branchement sur le module de conduite A.It is also used to activate the equipment functions, using unassigned switches (their function appears only after activating a main menu). For example, the same switch can be used to demist the windshield (in the heating menu), to change the frequency (in the radio menu), and to redial the last telephone number (in the telephone menu). FIG. 4 also shows that the central station comprises a digital audio disc loader 34, an input / output device 35 of a multimedia personal computer, a cassette case 36 and speakers 38. The reference 39 designates the general connector for connection to line module A.

Comme le montre la figure 5, le module de rangement multifonctions C comporte essentiellement un corps de boîtier 40 pourvu d'un couvercle 41, d'une poignée 42 et d'un élément de verrouillage 43, d'éléments de fixation 44 sur la structure de la planche de bord, un connecteur général 45 pour le branchement sur le module central B et, à titre d'option, un bureau portatif 46 et une glacière 47. As shown in FIG. 5, the multifunctional storage module C essentially comprises a housing body 40 provided with a cover 41, a handle 42 and a locking element 43, fixing elements 44 on the structure from the dashboard, a general connector 45 for connection to the central module B and, as an option, a portable desk 46 and a cooler 47.

Comme on le voit sur les figures 1 et 2, le module central B est monté fixe dans le véhicule, tandis que les positions des modules de conduite A et du module de rangement C peuvent être inversées pour permettre le montage du module de conduite aussi bien à droite qu'à gauche, comme cela a été expliqué plus haut. On constate que la face inférieure du module de conduite présente une forme adaptée à celle de la partie avant du véhicule, avec sa partie inclinée 2 formant tablier et la partie sensiblement horizontale 3 prolongeant ce dernier vers l'avant. La figure 3 illustre la configuration complémentaire de la face inférieure du module de conduite A. I1 est encore à noter que les deux modules latéraux, à savoir les modules de conduite A et le module de rangement C présentent la même largeur et que le module central B est symétrique par rapport au plan vertical médian du véhicule. As seen in Figures 1 and 2, the central module B is mounted fixed in the vehicle, while the positions of the driving modules A and the storage module C can be reversed to allow mounting of the driving module as well on the right than on the left, as explained above. It can be seen that the underside of the driving module has a shape adapted to that of the front part of the vehicle, with its inclined part 2 forming the bulkhead and the substantially horizontal part 3 extending the latter forward. Figure 3 illustrates the additional configuration of the underside of the drive module A. I1 should also be noted that the two side modules, namely the drive modules A and the storage module C have the same width and that the central module B is symmetrical with respect to the median vertical plane of the vehicle.

En résumé, l'agencement de planche de bord selon la présente invention, qui vient d'être décrit, grâce à sa modularité, permet une évolution des équipements et des options dans le temps, une réduction du nombre de pièces, une réduction importante et une simplification du faisceau électrique et une permutation conduite à gauche/conduite à droite.  In summary, the dashboard arrangement according to the present invention, which has just been described, thanks to its modularity, allows equipment and options to evolve over time, a reduction in the number of parts, a significant reduction and a simplification of the electric harness and a permutation driving on the left / driving on the right.
