Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un élément de protection d'un véhicule au tomobile, comme par exemple un bandeau ou un enjoliveur rapporté sur un pare- chocs ou pare-chocs avant ou arrière. The invention relates to a protection element of a tomobile vehicle, such as for example a strip or a hubcap attached to a front or rear bumper or bumper.
Les constructeurs équipent de plus en plus les véhicules auto mobiles moyens de détection d'un obstacle qui sont le plus souvent disposés sur un élement de protection situé à l'avant ou à l'arrière du véhicule et aver tissent conducteur d'un éventuel obstacle, ce qui permet de faciliter ma noeuvres de stationnement et d'éviter ainsi les chocs répétés. Manufacturers are increasingly equipping motor vehicles with obstacle detection means which are most often arranged on a protective element located at the front or rear of the vehicle and warn the driver of a possible obstacle. , which facilitates my parking work and thus avoids repeated shocks.
Ces moyens de détection sont généralement formés par ou plusieurs capteurs de proximité qui commandent l'émission dans l'habitacle du véhicule, signal sonore dont l'intensité augmente progressivement au fur et à mesure véhicule s'approche de cet obstacle. Chaque capteur de proximité est monte dans un support muni de moyens de fixation dudit capteur et qui est lui même fixé sur l'élément de protection. These detection means are generally formed by one or more proximity sensors which control the emission into the passenger compartment of the vehicle, an audible signal whose intensity gradually increases as the vehicle approaches this obstacle. Each proximity sensor is mounted in a support provided with means for fixing said sensor and which is itself fixed on the protective element.
Pour cela, chaque support comporte à l'une de ses extrémités une plaque destinée à être soudée sur l'élément de protection du véhicule auto mobile. Cette plaque est pourvue d'un organe tubulaire constituant un logement pour le capteur de proximité maintenu dans ledit organe tubulaire par des moyens d'encliquetage. For this, each support comprises at one of its ends a plate intended to be welded to the protection element of the mobile vehicle. This plate is provided with a tubular member constituting a housing for the proximity sensor maintained in said tubular member by latching means.
Après avoir mis en forme l'élément de protection, le montage du support de chaque capteur de proximité sur l'élément de protection est realisé en appliquant la plaque du support sur la face interne de l'élément de protection de telle maniere que l'extrémité de ce support pénètre dans un orifice ménagé dans l'élément protection et en reliant le support du capteur de proximité l'élé ment de protection par soudage. After having shaped the protective element, the mounting of the support of each proximity sensor on the protective element is carried out by applying the support plate to the internal face of the protective element in such a way that the end of this support enters a hole in the protection element and by connecting the support of the proximity sensor the protective element by welding.
Ensuite, le capteur de proximité est introduit dans l'organe tubu laire du support et maintenu dans ce dernier par encliquetage. Then, the proximity sensor is introduced into the tubular member of the support and held in the latter by snap-fastening.
Ces différentes opérations successives augmentent de manière sensible le prix de revient d'un tel élément de protection ce qui diminue les pos sibilités d'utiliser ce type d'éléments de protection pour des véhicules de moyenne gamme où la recherche de productivité et la réduction des coûts sont un soucis constant. L'invention a donc pour de proposer un élément de protection d'un véhicule automobile qui permet d'eviter les inconvénients précédemment mentionnés et de réduire le nombre opérations de fabrication d'un tel élé ment de protection. These various successive operations appreciably increase the cost price of such a protection element, which reduces the possibilities of using this type of protection elements for medium range vehicles where the search for productivity and the reduction of costs are a constant concern. The invention therefore has for proposing a protective element of a motor vehicle which makes it possible to avoid the drawbacks mentioned above and to reduce the number of operations for manufacturing such a protective element.
L'invention a donc pour objet un élément de protection d'un véhi cule automobile, comme par exemple bandeau, un enjoliveur ou un pare- chocs, du type comprenant au moins capteur de proximité monté dans un support fixé sur ledit élément de protection, caractérisé en ce que le support du capteur de proximité est venu de matière avec ledit élément de protection. The subject of the invention is therefore a protective element of a motor vehicle, such as a headband, a hubcap or a bumper, of the type comprising at least proximity sensor mounted in a support fixed to said protective element, characterized in that the support of the proximity sensor came integrally with said protective element.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention - ledit support du capteur de proximité et ledit élément de protec tion sont formés par moulage d'une matière plastique, - ledit support du capteur de proximité et ledit élément de protec tion sont formés par injection d'une matière plastique, - le support du capteur de proximité est formé par un organe tu bulaire constituant un logement de réception du capteur de proximité et compor tant des moyens de fixation dudit capteur, - les moyens de fixation sont formés par au moins deux pattes d'encliquetage s'étendant parallèlement ' l'axe longitudinal de l'organe tubulaire et destinées à coopérer avec au moins rebord d'accrochage ménagé sur ledit capteur, - les pattes d'encliquetage sont au nombre de trois uniformément réparties à la périphérie dudit organe tubulaire. According to other characteristics of the invention - said proximity sensor support and said protection element are formed by molding a plastic material, - said proximity sensor support and said protection element are formed by injection of 'a plastic material, - the proximity sensor support is formed by a bular tu member constituting a housing for receiving the proximity sensor and comprising means for fixing said sensor, - the fixing means are formed by at least two tabs latching extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tubular member and intended to cooperate with at least one hooking rim formed on said sensor, - the latching tabs are three in number uniformly distributed around the periphery of said tubular organ.
Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple et faite en réfé rence aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels - la Fig. 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un élément de protection d'un véhicule automobile, conforme à l'invention, - la Fig. 2 est une vue schématique en coupe transversale de l'élément de protection sur lequel un capteur de proximité est monté. la Fig. 1, on a représenté schématiquement un élément protection d'un vehicule automobile et désigné dans son ensemble par la réfe- rence 1. The characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description which follows, given by way of example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which - FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a protective element of a motor vehicle, according to the invention, - FIG. 2 is a schematic view in cross section of the protective element on which a proximity sensor is mounted. Fig. 1, a protection element of a motor vehicle has been shown diagrammatically and designated as a whole by reference 1.
Cet élément de protection 1 est constitué par exemple par bandeau ou un enjoliveur fixé sur un pare-chocs avant ou arrière d'un véhicule automobile ou par un pare-chocs avant ou arrière de ce véhicule automobile. This protective element 1 is constituted for example by strip or a cover fixed to a front or rear bumper of a motor vehicle or by a front or rear bumper of this motor vehicle.
L'élément de protection est équipé d'au moins un capteur proximité 2 destiné à avertir le conducteur de l'approche d'un obstacle afin faciliter les manceuvres de stationnement et éviter ainsi les chocs répétés. The protective element is equipped with at least one proximity sensor 2 intended to warn the driver of the approach of an obstacle in order to facilitate parking maneuvers and thus avoid repeated impacts.
Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté à la Fig. 1, l'élément de protection 1 est équipé de deux capteurs de proximité 2 uniformément répartis. Cet élément de protection peut être équipé plus de deux capteurs de proximité 2. In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the protective element 1 is equipped with two proximity sensors 2 uniformly distributed. This protection element can be equipped with more than two proximity sensors 2.
Chaque capteur de proximité 2 est monté sur l'élément de pro tection 1 au moyen d'un support désigné par la référence générale 10. Each proximity sensor 2 is mounted on the protection element 1 by means of a support designated by the general reference 10.
Selon l'invention, le support 10 de chaque capteur de proximité 2 est venu de matière avec l'élément de protection 1 et forme donc une pièce mo nobloc. According to the invention, the support 10 of each proximity sensor 2 came integrally with the protective element 1 and therefore forms a piece no block.
De préférence, l'élément de protection 1 et chaque support sont en matière plastique et l'ensemble formé par ledit élément de protection 1 ledit support 10 est réalisé par moulage ou par injection de cette matière plasti que. Preferably, the protective element 1 and each support are made of plastic and the assembly formed by said protective element 1 said support 10 is produced by molding or by injection of this plastic material.
Ainsi que représenté sur les figures, le support 10 est formé un organe tubulaire 11 constituant un logement 12 de réception du capteur proximité 2 correspondant et cet organe tubulaire 11 est muni de moyens 13 fixation de ce capteur de proximité 2. As shown in the figures, the support 10 is formed a tubular member 11 constituting a housing 12 for receiving the corresponding proximity sensor 2 and this tubular member 11 is provided with means 13 for fixing this proximity sensor 2.
L'organe tubulaire 11 s'étend perpendiculairement à la face rière de l'élément de protection 1 et comporte, d'une part, un orifice 11a qui dé bouche sur la face avant dudit élément de protection et, d'autre part, un orifice 11 b d'introduction du capteur de proximité 2. The tubular member 11 extends perpendicularly to the front face of the protective element 1 and comprises, on the one hand, an orifice 11a which opens out on the front face of said protective element and, on the other hand, a orifice 11 b for introducing the proximity sensor 2.
Les moyens 13 de fixation sont formés par au moins deux pattes d'encliquetage 13a s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe de l'organe tubulaire 11 et destinées à coopérer avec au moins un rebord d'accrochage 2a ménagé sur le capteur de proximité 2. The fixing means 13 are formed by at least two latching lugs 13a extending parallel to the axis of the tubular member 11 and intended to cooperate with at least one latching flange 2a formed on the proximity sensor 2 .
Dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté sur les figures, pat tes d'encliquetage 13a sont au nombre de trois uniformément réparties à péri phérie de l'organe tubulaire 11. In the embodiment shown in the figures, there are three latching tabs 13a uniformly distributed at the periphery of the tubular member 11.
Tout d'abord, l'élément de protection 1 comportant un plu sieurs supports 11 est formé en une opération de moulage ou d'injection d'une matiere plastique et ensuite chaque capteur de proximité 2 est placé dans le lo gement 12 du support 11 correspondant. First of all, the protective element 1 comprising a plurality of supports 11 is formed in a molding or injection operation of a plastic material and then each proximity sensor 2 is placed in the housing 12 of the support 11 corresponding.
Lors du montage de chaque capteur de proximité 2, les pattes d'encliquetage 13 glissent le long de la surface externe du capteur de proximité 2 et passent au-dessus du rebord 2a de façon à maintenir ce capteur de proximité 2 dans le logement 12 de l'élément tubulaire 11 formant le support 10 corres pondant. When mounting each proximity sensor 2, the latching tabs 13 slide along the external surface of the proximity sensor 2 and pass over the rim 2a so as to maintain this proximity sensor 2 in the housing 12 of the tubular element 11 forming the corresponding support 10.
L'élément de protection 1 ainsi équipé est ensuite monté sur le véhicule automobile et chaque capteur de proximité 2 est relié à une centrale de gestion des signaux émis par chaque capteur de proximité. The protective element 1 thus equipped is then mounted on the motor vehicle and each proximity sensor 2 is connected to a central for managing the signals emitted by each proximity sensor.
L'élément de protection selon l'invention ne nécessite donc que deux opérations, une opération de fabrication simultanée de cet élément de pro tection et des supports des capteurs de proximité et une opération de montage de chaque capteur de proximité ce qui permet ainsi de réduire sensiblement le prix revient d'un tel élément de protection.The protective element according to the invention therefore requires only two operations, a simultaneous manufacturing operation of this protective element and of the supports of the proximity sensors and an operation of mounting each proximity sensor, which thus makes it possible to reduce substantially the price returns from such an element of protection.
