Description

DISPOSITIF DE DETECTION DE L'ANGLE MORT D'UN VEHICULE DESCRIPTIONDEVICE FOR DETECTING THE DEAD ANGLE OF A VEHICLE DESCRIPTION

DOMAINE DE L'INVENTION L'invention concerne un dispositif de détection de l'angle mort d'un véhicule constitué d'un capteur logé dans une carcasse disposée sur un véhicule et pourvue d'une ouverture orientée de manière à permettre audit capteur de fournir au conducteur une information relative à la présence ou non, dans ledit angle mort, d'un autre véhicule ou d'un obstacle.  FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a device for detecting the dead angle of a vehicle consisting of a sensor housed in a carcass disposed on a vehicle and provided with an opening oriented so as to enable said sensor to provide to the driver information relating to the presence or not, in said blind spot, of another vehicle or an obstacle.

Un tel dispositif vient généralement en complémentarité du rétroviseur traditionnel qui transmet au conducteur une image arrière selon un champ de vision bien déterminé. ARRIERE PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUE Les dispositifs connus destinés à détecter, au moyen d'un capteur, l'angle mort d'un véhicule sont de plusieurs types en fonction de la technologie de captage utilisée. Ils sont intégrés: 1- soit aux rétroviseurs de portières; 2soit aux pare-chocs arrières; 3- soit aux feux arrières.  Such a device generally comes in complementarity of the traditional rearview mirror which transmits to the driver a rear image according to a well-defined field of view. BACKGROUND ART Known devices for detecting, by means of a sensor, the dead angle of a vehicle are of several types depending on the capture technology used. They are integrated: 1- either door mirrors; 2or the rear bumper; 3- either at the rear lights.

Chacune desdites solutions présente des inconvénients bien spécifiques.  Each of said solutions has very specific disadvantages.

La première implique un accroissement du volume et de la saillie des carcasses des rétroviseurs qui pose un problème du point de vue aérodynamique et esthétique. En outre, dans certains cas, la présence d'un tel capteur peut être incompatible avec d'autres dispositifs usuellement montés sur le rétroviseur de portière, comme des feux de changement de direction ou de positionnement. Enfin, l'intégration dudit capteur dans ledit rétroviseur expose ce dernier aux risques de détérioration en cas d'accident. La deuxième est plus particulièrement adaptée aux capteurs du type radars avec toujours le risque de détérioration en cas d'accident augmentant ainsi le coût du véhicule. De plus, elle n'est pas bien adaptée aux capteurs basés sur la vision car ils sont fortement exposés à la poussière et à la boue.  The first involves an increase in the volume and projection of the carcasses of mirrors which poses a problem from the aerodynamic and aesthetic point of view. In addition, in some cases, the presence of such a sensor may be incompatible with other devices usually mounted on the door mirror, such as change of direction or positioning lights. Finally, the integration of said sensor in said rearview mirror exposes the latter to the risk of deterioration in case of accident. The second is more particularly adapted to sensors of the radar type with always the risk of deterioration in case of accident thus increasing the cost of the vehicle. In addition, it is not well suited to vision-based sensors because they are highly exposed to dust and mud.

La troisième solution présente également des contraintes dimensionnelles et esthétiques d'adaptation du capteur, des risques de détérioration en cas d'accident et une forte exposition aux poussières et aux boues.  The third solution also presents dimensional and aesthetic constraints of sensor adaptation, risks of deterioration in the event of an accident and a high exposure to dust and sludge.

Parmi les dispositifs connus, on peut citer: - les brevets WO-2004/103774 et ES-200402517 qui décrivent des solutions intégrant des capteurs dans des rétroviseurs; - le brevet WO-2004/104626 qui décrit plus particulièrement un module d'acquisition d'image dans l'environnement extérieur d'un véhicule.  Among the known devices, mention may be made of: patents WO-2004/103774 and ES-200402517 which describe solutions integrating sensors into mirrors; the patent WO-2004/104626 which more particularly describes an image acquisition module in the external environment of a vehicle.

RESUME DE L'INVENTION L'invention vise à réaliser un dispositif du genre en question destiné à mettre en oeuvre une solution inédite et originale apte à éliminer les inconvénients susmentionnés. Elle concerne à cet effet, un dispositif qui se caractérise essentiellement en ce que: -la carcasse contenant le capteur est solidarisée à une aile avant du véhicule; - ladite carcasse est de forme générale ovoïde dont la partie de plus grand diamètre est disposée face au sens de marche du véhicule, autrement dit face aux intempéries et dont la partie de plus petit diamètre, qui lui est opposée, comporte l'ouverture de détection de l'angle mort qui débouche dans une cavité protégée desdites intempéries; la cavité est pourvue, côté ouverture de détection, d'une paroi qui surplombe ladite ouverture pour la protéger des intempéries.  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention aims to provide a device of the kind in question for implementing a novel and original solution able to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks. It relates for this purpose, a device which is essentially characterized in that: the carcass containing the sensor is secured to a front wing of the vehicle; said carcass is generally ovoid in shape, the larger diameter portion of which is arranged facing the direction of travel of the vehicle, that is to say facing the weather and the smaller diameter portion of which is opposed to it, comprises the detection aperture the dead angle that opens into a cavity protected from said bad weather; the cavity is provided, on the detection opening side, with a wall which overhangs said opening to protect it from the elements.

Un tel dispositif est généralement prévu pour être associé à un rétroviseur fixé à la portière du véhicule et intégrant un feu clignotant de changement de direction. Une telle conception présente les avantages suivants: - installation simple; - indépendance avec les autres composants du véhicule; - réduction des contraintes dimensionnelles et esthétiques; réduction de la saillie donc réduction du risque de détérioration en cas d'accident; - réduction de l'exposition aux poussières et aux boues.  Such a device is generally intended to be associated with a rearview mirror attached to the vehicle door and incorporating a flashing change of direction. Such a design has the following advantages: - simple installation; - independence with other vehicle components; - reduction of dimensional and aesthetic constraints; reduction of the protrusion thus reducing the risk of deterioration in the event of an accident; - reduced exposure to dust and sludge.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Le dispositif de détection de l'angle mort d'un véhicule, représenté aux figures, est constitué d'un capteur (1) logé dans une carcasse (2) disposée sur un véhicule (3) et pourvue d'une ouverture (2A) orientée de manière à permettre audit capteur de fournir au conducteur une information relative à la présence ou non, dans ledit angle mort, d'un autre véhicule ou d'un obstacle.  The blind spot detection device of a vehicle, represented in the figures, consists of a sensor (1) housed in a carcass (2) arranged on a vehicle (3) and provided with an opening (2A) oriented to enable said sensor to provide the driver with information relating to the presence or not, in said blind spot, of another vehicle or an obstacle.

Selon les caractéristiques basiques de l'invention: - la carcasse (2) contenant le capteur (1) est solidarisée à une aile avant (4) du véhicule (3) ; - la carcasse (2) est de forme générale ovoïde dont la partie de plus grand diamètre (2B) est disposée face au sens de marche du véhicule, autrement dit face aux intempéries et dont la partie de plus petit diamètre (2C), qui lui est opposée, comporte l'ouverture (2A) de détection de l'angle mort qui débouche dans une cavité (2D) protégée desdites intempéries; - la cavité (2D) est pourvue, côté ouverture de détection (2A), d'une paroi (2E) qui surplombe ladite ouverture de manière à accroître sa protection aux intempéries (pluie et neige), au soleil, aux poussières et aux boues.  According to the basic characteristics of the invention: the carcass (2) containing the sensor (1) is secured to a front wing (4) of the vehicle (3); - The carcass (2) is generally ovoid in shape, the larger diameter portion (2B) is disposed facing the direction of travel of the vehicle, that is to say facing the weather and whose smaller diameter portion (2C), which is opposite, comprises the opening (2A) for detecting the dead angle which opens into a cavity (2D) protected from said bad weather; the cavity (2D) is provided, on the detection opening side (2A), with a wall (2E) that overhangs said opening so as to increase its protection against the elements (rain and snow), the sun, the dust and the sludge; .

Selon deux variantes de montage de la carcasse (2) : - celle-ci est fixée à l'aile (4) du véhicule (3) au moyen d'un tube fileté (5) passant au travers d'une ouverture (4A) pratiquée dans l'aile (4) et d'un écrou de serrage (6) : une telle disposition garantit le dispositif contre le vol et est mieux adaptée au montage en usine; - celle-ci est fixée à l'aile (4) du véhicule (3) au moyen de clips (7) passant au travers d'une ouverture (4B) pratiquée dans l'aile (4) : une telle dispositif permet le montage du dispositif après l'achat du véhicule.  According to two mounting variants of the carcass (2): - it is fixed to the wing (4) of the vehicle (3) by means of a threaded tube (5) passing through an opening (4A) made in the wing (4) and a clamping nut (6): such an arrangement guarantees the device against theft and is better suited to factory assembly; - It is attached to the wing (4) of the vehicle (3) by means of clips (7) passing through an opening (4B) formed in the wing (4): such a device allows the assembly of the device after the purchase of the vehicle.

Selon d'autres particularités de réalisation: - une platine (8), en matériau élastique, est intercalée entre la carcasse (2) et l'aile (4) pour améliorer la jonction des deux surfaces en regard; - le capteur (1) est relié à un circuit de commande disposé dans le véhicule (3) au moyen d'un câble (9), passant au travers de l'ouverture (4A,4B) pratiquée dans l'aile (4), pourvu d'un connecteur d'extrémité (10).  According to other features of embodiment: - a plate (8), of elastic material, is interposed between the carcass (2) and the wing (4) to improve the junction of the two facing surfaces; - the sensor (1) is connected to a control circuit arranged in the vehicle (3) by means of a cable (9), passing through the opening (4A, 4B) formed in the wing (4) provided with an end connector (10).

Selon deux variantes de réalisation: - le capteur (1), qui est solidaire de l'aile (4) du véhicule (3) par l'intermédiaire de la carcasse (2), est généralement associé à un rétroviseur (11) fixé à la portière (12) dudit véhicule et intégrant un feu clignotant de changement de direction (13) ; - la carcasse (2), qui intègre le capteur (1), intègre également le feu clignotant de changement de direction (13).  According to two variants of embodiment: the sensor (1), which is integral with the wing (4) of the vehicle (3) via the carcass (2), is generally associated with a rearview mirror (11) fixed to the door (12) of said vehicle and integrating a flashing change of direction (13); - The carcass (2), which integrates the sensor (1), also incorporates the flashing change of direction (13).

La mise en service du feu clignotant de changement de direction (13) peut activer le capteur (1).  Turning on the turn signal (13) can activate the sensor (1).

Pour certains types de capteurs (en particulier ceux basés sur la vision), une position la plus haute possible est avantageuse en termes de leur fonction intrinsèque.  For some types of sensors (especially those based on vision), the highest possible position is advantageous in terms of their intrinsic function.

Le fait que de plus en plus les nouvelles voitures sont équipées de rétroviseurs intégrant les feux clignotants de changement de direction, laisse sur l'aile une place libre pour y intégrer le dispositif selon l'invention.  The fact that more and more new cars are equipped with mirrors incorporating flashing lights direction change, leaves on the wing a free place to incorporate the device according to the invention.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés pour lesquels on pourra prévoir d'autres variantes, en particulier dans: - le type de capteur; - le type de montage de la carcasse à l'aile du véhicule; - la conception, le volume et la nature du matériau constitutif de la carcasse; sans pour cela sortir du cadre de l'invention.  Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown for which other variants may be provided, in particular in: the type of sensor; - the type of assembly of the carcass on the wing of the vehicle; - the design, volume and nature of the constituent material of the carcass; without departing from the scope of the invention.
