Description
"< Interrupteur de plafonnier pour véhicules de"<Ceiling switch for vehicles of
transport prêt à être installé ". transport ready to be installed ".
La présente invention a pour objet un interrupteur de plafonnier pour The present invention relates to a ceiling switch for
véhicules de transport prêt à être installé. transport vehicles ready to be installed.
Les véhicules de transport sont livrés aux clients à leur sortie d'usine avec un équipement standard de leur cabine ou avec une caisse disposée sur le châssis. Parfois le châssis est nu, et le client s'adresse à des carrossiers spécialisés, par exemple dans la réalisation de camions frigorifiques; le client peut également faire installer un hayon élévateur. La caisse montée sur le châssis, soit à la sortie d'usine ou à la io demande du client comporte généralement un plafonnier pour l'éclairage intérieur commandé par un interrupteur disposé sur le tableau de bord de la cabine du véhicule. Très souvent le chauffeur oublie d'éteindre le plafonnier, et celui-ci reste allumé par exemple toute une nuit ou pendant plusieurs jours de repos du chauffeur déchargeant Transport vehicles are delivered to customers when they leave the factory with standard equipment from their cabin or with a box placed on the chassis. Sometimes the chassis is bare, and the customer turns to specialist body shops, for example in the production of refrigerated trucks; the customer can also have a tailgate installed. The body mounted on the chassis, either at the factory or at the request of the customer generally includes a ceiling light for interior lighting controlled by a switch arranged on the dashboard of the vehicle cabin. Very often the driver forgets to turn off the overhead light, and it remains on for example overnight or for several days of rest for the unloading driver
]s ainsi la batterie.] s so the battery.
Pour remédier à cet état de chose, on a disposé une veilleuse et d'autres systèmes équivalents dans la cabine de conduite. Toutefois, ces cabines sont de plus en plus sophistiquées et luxueuses, surtout pour les camions ou semi remorques de gros tonnages, d'o il résulte que l'on hésite avant de monter un dispositif supplémentaire. De surcroît, le tableau de bord et les circuits électriques sont réalisés avec des circuits imprimés et divers éléments électroniques rendant toute modification ou adjonction longues et aléatoires entraînant un coût très To remedy this state of affairs, a pilot light and other equivalent systems have been placed in the driver's cab. However, these cabins are more and more sophisticated and luxurious, especially for trucks or semi-trailers of large tonnages, from which it results that one hesitates before mounting an additional device. In addition, the dashboard and electrical circuits are made with printed circuits and various electronic elements making any modification or addition long and random resulting in a very cost
élevé de montage.high fitting.
De plus, en cas de panne électrique ou d'incendie du véhicule (dû à un court circuit par exemple) le fabricant décline toute responsabilité en arguant que la modification et le montage d'un dispositif annexe dans la cabine n'ont pas été effectués par ses soins ou n'a pas respecté les In addition, in the event of an electrical failure or fire in the vehicle (due to a short circuit for example) the manufacturer declines all responsibility on the grounds that the modification and mounting of an additional device in the cabin have not been carried out by his care or did not respect the
normes électriques de branchement.electrical connection standards.
La présente invention a pour objet un interrupteur de plafonnier 1o comportant un temporisateur et un fusible, prêt à monter, soit à l'extérieur, soit à l'intérieur de la caisse sans avoir a intervenir sur les The present invention relates to a ceiling switch 1o comprising a timer and a fuse, ready to mount, either outside or inside the body without having to intervene on the
différents circuits électriques du véhicule. different electrical circuits of the vehicle.
L'interrupteur selon l'invention comporte un boîtier étanche monté sur une platine de fixation, pourvu d'un bouton poussoir ledit boîtier is étanche comportant un bouton de commande, un câble destiné au raccordement à la batterie du véhicule ou à une boite de raccordement The switch according to the invention comprises a waterproof housing mounted on a fixing plate, provided with a push button, said waterproof housing comprising a control button, a cable intended for connection to the vehicle battery or to a connection box.
déjà prévue, et un second câble de raccordement au plafonnier. already planned, and a second cable for connection to the ceiling light.
Lorsque le chauffeur veut procéder au chargement ou au déchargement de son camion, il appuie sur l'interrupteur provoquant lI'allumage du plafonnier. Le temporisateur coupera le circuit au bout, par exemple, de trente minutes. Si le chauffeur n'a pas terminé son travail, il appuiera de nouveau sur l'interrupteur; dans le cas contraire, le plafonnier sera éteint sans intervention de sa part, évitant ainsi le When the driver wants to load or unload his truck, he presses the switch causing the interior light to come on. The timer will cut the circuit after, for example, thirty minutes. If the driver has not finished his work, he will press the switch again; otherwise, the ceiling light will be switched off without any action on its part, thus avoiding
déchargement de la batterie.discharging the battery.
Par ailleurs, un fusible de protection disposé dans le boîtier de l'interrupteur peut couper l'alimentation en cas de court circuit, évitant In addition, a protective fuse placed in the switch housing can cut off the supply in the event of a short circuit, avoiding
l'incendie du véhicule.vehicle fire.
Comme il a été indiqué plus haut, cet interrupteur peut être monté à I'extérieur ou à l'intérieur de la caisse. Son montage ne nécessitant par ailleurs, aucune intervention sur le câblage du véhicule le fabricant ne As indicated above, this switch can be mounted outside or inside the body. Its assembly does not otherwise require, no intervention on the vehicle wiring the manufacturer does
peut s'en prévaloir pour écarter sa responsabilité en cas de sinistre. can take advantage of it to avoid liability in the event of a claim.
Sur la figure unique, on a représenté très schématiquement un interrupteur selon l'invention qui peut être commercialisé en " kit In the single figure, there is shown very schematically a switch according to the invention which can be sold as a "kit
io complet " prêt au montage.io complete "ready for installation.
Comme on peut le voir sur cette figure, il comporte une platine de fixation 1 sur le véhicule, en aluminium, comportant quatre trous pour le passage des vis; sur cette platine 1 est monté un boîtier 2 en matière plastique isolante comportant sur sa face supérieure un bouton is poussoir 3 étanche agissant sur un contact et un temporisateur (non représentés) constitué par un circuit imprimé; sur le côté du boîtier est disposé un fusible de protection 4 amovible. L'un des côtés du boîtier est pourvu d'un câble d'alimentation 5 dont l'extrémité sera reliée à la batterie du véhicule. L'autre côté du boîtier est pourvu d'un câble de As can be seen in this figure, it comprises a mounting plate 1 on the vehicle, made of aluminum, comprising four holes for the passage of the screws; on this plate 1 is mounted a casing 2 made of insulating plastic material comprising on its upper face a sealed push button 3 acting on a contact and a timer (not shown) constituted by a printed circuit; on the side of the housing is a removable protective fuse 4. One of the sides of the housing is provided with a power cable 5, the end of which will be connected to the vehicle battery. The other side of the housing is provided with a cable
raccordement 6 destiné à être relié à un ou plusieurs plafonniers. connection 6 intended to be connected to one or more ceiling lights.
Cet ensemble prêt au montage permet une grande rapidité d'installation sur les véhicules entraînant une économie substantielle pour le client et évitant tout conflit avec le constructeur du fait de la non This ready-to-assemble assembly allows rapid installation on vehicles, resulting in substantial savings for the customer and avoiding any conflict with the manufacturer due to the non-compliance
