La presente invention concerne un organe de suspension pour vehicule et The present invention relates to a suspension member for a vehicle and
une suspension pour vehicule equipee d'un tel organe. a suspension for a vehicle fitted with such a member.
L'invention trouvera particulierement son application dans le domaine de la The invention will find particular application in the field of

s Plusieurs types de suspension vent actuellement proposes sur le marche automobile. En particulier, les suspensions classiques ont des flexibilites lineaires utilisant des raideurs qui vent le resultat d'un compromis entre le confort vertical et la s Several types of wind suspension currently offered on the automotive market. In particular, conventional suspensions have linear flexibilities using stiffnesses which wind the result of a compromise between vertical comfort and

Pour optimiser ce compromis, vent apparues des barres anti-devers qui, lors o du transfert des masses raidissent les suspensions en virage afin de diminuer les To optimize this compromise, wind appeared from the anti-roll bars which, during the transfer of the masses stiffen the suspensions when cornering in order to reduce the

L' inconvenient de ces barres reside dans le fait qu'elles liens les roues d'un The disadvantage of these bars lies in the fact that they link the wheels of a

Un autre inconvenient est que cette liaison associee au frottement s supplementaire degrade la filtration du vehicule aussi bien en confort vertical, lateral Another drawback is that this connection associated with additional friction degrades the filtration of the vehicle as well in vertical, lateral comfort

Par ailleurs, les transferts de masse consecutifs aux accelerations long itud inal es en plongee ou en cabrage vent toujou rs controlees pa r les seu les In addition, the mass transfers resulting from long iterative accelerations in diving or nose-up are always controlled by only the

o On a propose des suspensions a flexibilite variable tentant de pallier les inconvenients mentionnes. Cependant, toutes ces techniques necessitent toujours ['adoption de barres anti-devers avec les inconvenients qui en decoulent. Qui plus est. pour des suspensions a flexibilite variable, la course de compression est diminuee, et la course de detente augmentee, ce qui produit une elevation du centre o Suspensions with variable flexibility have been proposed in an attempt to overcome the drawbacks mentioned. However, all these techniques still require the adoption of anti-roll bars with the drawbacks which result therefrom. Furthermore. for suspensions with variable flexibility, the compression stroke is reduced, and the relaxation stroke increased, which produces an elevation of the center

On a egalement propose des suspensions cites intelligentes, c'est-a-dire pilotees par un systeme central incorporant des moyens electroniques et informatiques. Cependant, de telles suspensions vent generalement d'un cost eleve, Smart suspensions have also been proposed, that is to say piloted by a central system incorporating electronic and computer means. However, such suspensions generally have a high cost,
et d'une fiabilite relative.and relative reliability.
o On a egalement propose des suspensions cites contractive par le biais du present demandeur. En particulier, le document WO-A-9104876 presente une suspension dotee de deux raideurs distinctes qui s'articulent autour de la position o Contractual quoted suspensions have also been proposed through this plaintiff. In particular, document WO-A-9104876 presents a suspension endowed with two distinct stiffnesses which are articulated around the position
statique du vehicule.vehicle statics.
2 28402562 2840256
Cette position statique est predeterminee et parametree, et delimite d'une This static position is predetermined and parameterized, and delimited by
part la course de la compression, et d'autre part la course de detente. firstly the compression stroke, and secondly the relaxation stroke.
Par ailleurs, la raideur de la suspension en course de detente est superieure a la raideur de la suspension en course de compression suivant un rapport de l'ordre Furthermore, the stiffness of the suspension in the relaxation stroke is greater than the stiffness of the suspension in the compression stroke according to a ratio of the order
s de1 a3.s de1 a3.
En d'autres termes, la raideur en course de compression est relativement faible et celle en course de detente considerablement plus elevee. La courbe de raideur qui en resulte est a raideur degressive, ce qui fait de la suspension contractive un systeme totalement oppose aux suspensions a flexibilite lineaire ou In other words, the stiffness in the compression stroke is relatively low and that in the relaxation stroke considerably higher. The resulting stiffness curve is of declining stiffness, which makes the contract suspension a system completely opposed to suspensions with linear flexibility or

Toujours selon cette technique anterieure, le point correspondent au changement entre les deux raideurs se situe dans la position statique du vehicule, ctest-a-dire correspondent sur la course de la suspension au point de position du Still according to this previous technique, the point corresponding to the change between the two stiffnesses is located in the static position of the vehicle, that is to say correspond on the stroke of the suspension at the point of position of the

Ce point, ci-apres denomme point de reference auto-stabilisant cree une This point, hereinafter referred to as a self-stabilizing reference point, creates a
position de stabilisation naturelle pour le vehicule. natural stabilization position for the vehicle.
Au niveau de ce point particulier, on met en place une flexibilite de raccordement intermediaire entre la raideur en phase de compression et celle en At this particular point, an intermediate connection flexibility is set up between the stiffness in the compression phase and that in
phase de detente, et ce pour eviter un passage trop abrupte entre les deux. phase of relaxation, and this to avoid too steep passage between the two.
o Cette phase de transition necessitant une flexibilite de raccordement peut etre assuree par differentes solutions techniques dont celle envisagee dans WO-A 9104876 ou encore dans le document WO-A-9826193. En particulier, une butee en elastomere dotee d'une flexibilite asymptotique peut etre mise en ceuvre et c'est par l'intermediaire de cette butee que sera mis en action le ressort antagoniste assurant le complement de raideur necessaire a la phase de detente de ce type de suspension. Dans les montages actuels de suspension selon cette technique, on a recours d'une part a un organe de butee realisant la fonction de raccordement, et o This transition phase requiring flexible connection can be ensured by different technical solutions including that envisaged in WO-A 9104876 or also in document WO-A-9826193. In particular, an elastomeric stopper endowed with asymptotic flexibility can be implemented and it is by means of this stopper that the opposing spring will be put into action ensuring the additional stiffness necessary for the relaxation phase of this type of suspension. In current suspension arrangements using this technique, use is made on the one hand of a stop member performing the connection function, and
d'autre part a des ressorts.on the other hand has springs.
o Bien que les diverges solutions proposees donnent techniquement satisfaction tent sur le plan du comportement du vehicule que de l'industrialisation, il est apparu au demandeur que des solutions encore plus economiques devaient etre recherchees. o Although the various solutions proposed are technically satisfactory in terms of vehicle behavior than industrialization, it appeared to the applicant that even more economical solutions should be sought.

apte a envisager toutes realisations produisant les caracteristiques recherchees. able to envisage all realizations producing the characteristics sought.
De cette fa,con, on peut en particulier constituer ['element ressort necessaire a la phase de detente, ainsi que la butee apte a realiser l'arc de raccordement de la In this way, con, it is possible in particular to constitute the spring element necessary for the relaxation phase, as well as the stop capable of producing the connection arc of the
suspension contractive.contract suspension.
L'element de butee 1 est deformable elastiquement en compression jusqu'a une valeur d 'effort predeterminee apres laquelle ['element de butee 1 n'est plus deformable. La raideur de cette partie de l'organe de suspension est done de type asymptotique. L'autre element, I'element ressort 2, est deformable elastiquement au cours The stop element 1 is elastically deformable in compression up to a predetermined force value after which the stop element 1 is no longer deformable. The stiffness of this part of the suspension organ is therefore of the asymptotic type. The other element, the spring element 2, is elastically deformable during

Cette deformation elastique va au-d ela de la phase da ns laquelle la butee de This elastic deformation goes beyond the phase in which the stop of

La piece 13 ainsi constituee par superposition de ces deux parties sera avantageusement realisee en un materiau elastomere facilement realisable en The part 13 thus formed by superposition of these two parts will advantageously be made of an elastomeric material which can easily be produced in
grande eerie.large eerie.
On forme ainsi une piece 13 unique de faible cout et apte a remplir les fonctions d'amortissement liees aux phases de detente et de raccordement de la This forms a single piece 13 of low cost and capable of fulfilling the damping functions related to the relaxation and connection phases of the
suspension contractive@.contract suspension @.
A titre prefere, I'organe de suspension a une forme sensiblement allongee telle que representee en figure 3, et est creux afin de permettre un montage facilite notamment sur le biais d'une tige tel que cela ressort des exemples qui vent decrits As a preference, the suspension member has a substantially elongated shape as shown in FIG. 3, and is hollow in order to allow easy mounting, in particular on a rod as shown in the examples described above.
o ci-apres.o below.
Suivant un premier exemple de montage illustre a la figure 4, la piece 13 est montee dans une suspension pour vehicule comprenant un amortisseur 6 de conception courante. Tel qu'illustre, la piece 13 est montee a l'exterieur de la partie hydraulique de l'amortisseur 6 represente, mais sur la tige 7 de cet amortisseur. On s comprend aisement le travail en detente et en compression de la piece 13 ainsi positionnee. Dans l'exemple represente a la figure 6, la piece 13 est positionnee en opposition d'un bras 8 de suspension, ledit bras etant pivotant autour de l'axe 9. La encore, la piece 13 est deformee en compression lors des phases de detente de la o suspension avec une deformation preliminaire de ['element de butee 1, et une phase According to a first mounting example illustrated in FIG. 4, the part 13 is mounted in a suspension for a vehicle comprising a shock absorber 6 of common design. As illustrated, the part 13 is mounted outside the hydraulic part of the shock absorber 6 represented, but on the rod 7 of this shock absorber. It is easy to understand the work in expansion and compression of the part 13 thus positioned. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the part 13 is positioned in opposition to an arm 8 for suspension, said arm being pivotable about the axis 9. Again, the part 13 is deformed in compression during the phases of relaxation of the suspension with a preliminary deformation of the stop element 1, and a phase
successive ou seul ['element ressort 2 est deforme. successive or only the spring element 2 is deformed.
De fa,con semblable, la figure 5 illustre un autre exemple de montage de In similar fashion, FIG. 5 illustrates another example of mounting of
l'organe de suspension selon ['invention au niveau d'un bras de suspension. the suspension member according to the invention at the level of a suspension arm.
Selon cette possibilite, on positionnera avantageusement la piece 13 de s sorte qu'elle ne fasse pas saillie au-dela du volume delimite par le bras de suspension. D'une fa,con generale, on notera que l'organe de suspension de ['invention According to this possibility, the part 13 will advantageously be positioned so that it does not protrude beyond the volume delimited by the suspension arm. Generally speaking, it will be noted that the suspension member of the invention
peut etre monte sur tous types de suspension existants sur le marche. can be mounted on all types of suspension existing on the market.
Dans un autre exemple represente aux figures 7 et 8, la piece 13 est montee In another example shown in Figures 7 and 8, the part 13 is mounted
so dans la partie hydraulique d'un amortisseur 6. n / a in the hydraulic part of a shock absorber 6.
Selon la figure 7, la piece 13 est apte a etre comprimee au sein de la partie hydraulique et egalement montee sur une tige 7 de l'amortisseur. Dans ce cadre, il est avantageux de preserver des passages de fluide le long de la piece 13 pour un bon fonctionnement de l'amortisseur hydraulique 6. En particulier, des passages According to Figure 7, the part 13 is adapted to be compressed within the hydraulic part and also mounted on a rod 7 of the damper. In this context, it is advantageous to preserve fluid passages along the part 13 for proper operation of the hydraulic shock absorber 6. In particular, passages
7 28402567 2840256
sous forme de rainures axiales 3 notamment visibles en figure 3 peuvent etre constitues. Le fonctionnement hydraulique de l'amortisseur 6 n'est done pas gene par ['implantation de la piece 13, mais peut etre modifie en exploitant le laminage du fluide sur la peripherie de l'organe en elastomere. En adaptant le diametre de la piece 13, on peut produire un frottement leger sur la paroi interne de l'amortisseur en phase de detente, la piece 13 gonflant legerement en compression. Cette particularite peut etre utilisee pour participer a in the form of axial grooves 3 in particular visible in FIG. 3 can be formed. The hydraulic operation of the damper 6 is therefore not hampered by the implantation of the part 13, but can be modified by exploiting the rolling of the fluid on the periphery of the elastomer member. By adapting the diameter of the part 13, it is possible to produce a slight friction on the internal wall of the shock absorber in the relaxation phase, the part 13 swelling slightly in compression. This feature can be used to participate in
l'amortissement par la production d'un amortissement par friction. damping by producing friction damping.
o Dans la variante presentee a la figure 8, on a realise un plancher mobile 11 surmontant la piece 13 et presentant une pluralite de clapets 12 pour le passage de fluide afin de former la fonction de valve. La surface de butee en fin de detente n'est pas systematiquement liee mecaniquement a la piece 13, et ce grace au plancher o In the variant presented in FIG. 8, a movable floor 11 has been produced surmounting the part 13 and having a plurality of valves 12 for the passage of fluid in order to form the valve function. The abutment surface at the end of the relaxation is not systematically mechanically linked to part 13, and this is due to the floor
mobile 1 1.mobile 1 1.
Par l'intermediaire de plancher 11, on realise des moyens d'amortissement complementaires lors de la deformation de l'organe de suspension. En effet, le plancher mobile 11 accompagne la deformation de l'organe de suspension, mais en By means of the floor 11, additional damping means are produced during the deformation of the suspension member. Indeed, the movable floor 11 accompanies the deformation of the suspension member, but in

En phase de decompression de l'organe,, la fonction d'amortissement o complementaire du plancher 11 persiste jusqu'a la detente complete de l'organe de In the decompression phase of the organ, the damping or complementary function of the floor 11 persists until the complete relaxation of the organ of
suspension, d'ou un effet benefique sur le confort. suspension, hence a beneficial effect on comfort.
On notera que la deformation en compression de l'organe de suspension, particulierement en elastomere produira ['augmentation de son diametre. On adaptera done en consequence l'encombrement de l'organe a la geometric de la suspension dans laquelle il doit s'integrer, et ce pour ne pas gener le fonctionnement It will be noted that the deformation in compression of the suspension member, particularly in elastomer will produce the increase in its diameter. We will therefore adapt the size of the body accordingly to the geometry of the suspension in which it must be integrated, and this not to interfere with the operation

Dans ['application preferentielle aux suspensions contractive@, on a represente aux figures 10 et 11 un exemple du resultat apte a etre obtenu par In the preferential application to contractual suspensions @, there is shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 an example of the result capable of being obtained by
