Description

AGENCEMENT D'UN DISPOSITIF POUR LE REMPLISSAGE D'UN RESERVOIR DE LIQUIDEARRANGEMENT OF A DEVICE FOR FILLING A LIQUID TANK

DE VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE L'invention concerne un agencement d'un dispositif de véhicule automobile pour le remplissage d'au moins un réservoir destiné à contenir un liquide et se trouvant dans un compartiment avant dudit véhicule, le dispositif comprenant au moins un orifice de remplissage du réservoir situé en dehors du compartiment et accessible depuis l'extérieur du véhicule sans ouverture du compartiment.  The invention relates to an arrangement of a motor vehicle device for filling at least one reservoir intended to contain a liquid and located in a front compartment of said vehicle, the device comprising at least one filling port of the vehicle. tank located outside the compartment and accessible from outside the vehicle without opening the compartment.

io Tel que décrit dans les documents FR-A-2867128 et FR-A-2867126, l'accès à l'orifice de remplissage d'un réservoir de liquide de lave- glace est généralement localisé sous le capot avant du véhicule. Il en est de même pour le remplissage du réservoir d'huile de moteur. Par conséquent, lorsqu'un utilisateur doit effectuer le remplissage des 15 réservoirs, il doit ouvrir le capot, ce qui n'est pas très pratique et peut être salissant. Par ailleurs, il est souvent difficile de localiser directement la zone de remplissage sans la notice d'utilisation du véhicule. En outre, il est de plus en plus fréquent dans les véhicules actuels que le compartiment moteur soit recouvert par un habillage 20 empêchant toute intervention d'un simple utilisateur du véhicule. Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, l'invention a pour objet un agencement d'un dispositif pour le remplissage d'un réservoir de liquide, tel que du liquide lave-glace, de l'huile moteur ou du liquide de refroidissement, qui soit pratique d'utilisation et facilement 25 accessible. A cet effet, l'invention propose un agencement d'un dispositif pour le rmeplissage d'un réservoir du type cité ci-dessus, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif de remplissage est localisé entre le pare-brise et un bord arrière d'un élément de fermeture du compartiment. 30 Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention: - Le dispositif de remplissage est agencé sous une pièce d'habillage. - 2  As described in FR-A-2867128 and FR-A-2867126, access to the fill port of a washer fluid reservoir is generally located under the front hood of the vehicle. It is the same for the filling of the engine oil tank. Therefore, when a user has to fill the tanks, he has to open the hood, which is not very practical and can be messy. Moreover, it is often difficult to locate the filling area directly without the vehicle operating instructions. In addition, it is increasingly common in today's vehicles that the engine compartment is covered by a covering 20 preventing any intervention of a single user of the vehicle. In order to overcome these disadvantages, the subject of the invention is an arrangement of a device for filling a reservoir of liquid, such as windshield wiper fluid, engine oil or coolant, which is practical of use and easily accessible. To this end, the invention proposes an arrangement of a device for the re-melting of a tank of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the filling device is located between the windshield and a rear edge of a closure element of the compartment. According to other characteristics of the invention: the filling device is arranged under a dressing part. - 2

- La pièce d'habillage est montée pivotante autour d'un axe entre une position fermée de dissimulation du dispositif de remplissage et une position ouverte d'accès au dispositif de remplissage. - La pièce d'habillage est montée par clippage. - Une partie interne de la pièce d'habillage forme bouchon de l'orifice de remplissage. - Le liquide est du liquide de lave-glace. - Le liquide est de l'huile de moteur. - Le liquide est du liquide de refroidissement. io - Il comporte en outre un moyen de contrôle du niveau de liquide dans le réservoir. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description d'exemples de réalisation d'un agencement d'un dispositif pour le remplissage d'un réservoir de liquide en 15 référence au dessin annexé dans lequel la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective d'un véhicule comportant l'agencement selon l'invention et une vue partielle d'éléments se trouvant sous le capot du véhicule. Dans la description qui suit, nous prendrons à titre non limitatif une 20 orientation longitudinale, verticale et transversale indiquée par le trièdre L,V,T de la figure 1. Des éléments identiques ou analogues sont désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence. Tel que représenté à la figure 1, la partie avant 10 d'un véhicule 12 25 comporte un pare-brise 14, un élément de fermeture tel qu'un capot 16 obturant un compartiment 18, pouvant être un compartiment moteur, et des ailes 20, s'étendant de chaque côté du compartiment 18 (l'une d'entre elles seulement étant représentée sur la figure). Le véhicule 12 comporte aussi au moins un réservoir 22 destiné à 30 contenir un liquide tel que par exemple du liquide lave-glace, de l'huile moteur ou bien du liquide de refroidissement, par exemple. Le -3 réservoir 22 est agencé à l'intérieur du compartiment 18, sous le plan formé par le capot 16 et est relié à un dispositif de remplissage 24 par l'intermédiaire d'un élément de liaison qui peut être une tubulure 26. Le dispositif de remplissage 24 comporte un orifice de remplissage 28. Le dispositif de remplissage 24 est localisé entre un bord arrière 32 du capot 16 et une partie inférieure 34 du pare-brise 14. L'orifice de remplissage 28 peut alors être fermé par un clapet ou un bouchon. io Le dispositif de remplissage 24 peut être dissimulé par une pièce d'habillage 30. La pièce d'habillage 30 peut être, par exemple, un couvercle de boîte à eau ou une grille d'auvent. La pièce d'habillage 30 peut alors être montée pivotante autour d'un 15 axe X entre une position fermée de dissimulation du dispositif de remplissage et une positon ouverte d'accès au dispositif de remplissage. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, elle peut être montée par clippage.  - The dressing part is pivotally mounted about an axis between a closed position of concealment of the filling device and an open position of access to the filling device. - The dressing part is mounted by clipping. - An inner part of the cladding piece forms a plug of the filling orifice. - The liquid is windshield washer fluid. - The liquid is engine oil. - The liquid is coolant. It further comprises a means for controlling the level of liquid in the reservoir. Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description of exemplary embodiments of an arrangement of a device for filling a liquid reservoir with reference to the appended drawing in which FIG. is a schematic perspective view of a vehicle comprising the arrangement according to the invention and a partial view of elements located under the hood of the vehicle. In the following description, we will take a non-limiting longitudinal, vertical and transverse orientation indicated by the trihedron L, V, T of Figure 1. Identical or similar elements are designated by the same reference numerals. As shown in FIG. 1, the front portion 10 of a vehicle 12 comprises a windshield 14, a closure element such as a hood 16 closing a compartment 18, which may be an engine compartment, and wings 20 extending from each side of the compartment 18 (only one of which is shown in the figure). The vehicle 12 also comprises at least one reservoir 22 intended to contain a liquid such as, for example, windshield wiper fluid, engine oil or coolant, for example. The reservoir 22 is arranged inside the compartment 18, in the plane formed by the cap 16 and is connected to a filling device 24 via a connecting element which may be a tubing 26. The filling device 24 comprises a filling orifice 28. The filling device 24 is located between a rear edge 32 of the cover 16 and a lower portion 34 of the windshield 14. The filling orifice 28 can then be closed by a valve or a plug. The filling device 24 may be concealed by a covering part 30. The covering part 30 can be, for example, a water box cover or awning grid. The trim piece 30 can then be pivotally mounted about an X axis between a closed position of concealment of the filling device and an open position of access to the filling device. According to another embodiment, it can be mounted by clipping.

20 Il peut être prévu un moyen de verrouillage (non représenté) empêchant l'accès à l'orifice de remplissage 28 par une personne non autorisée lorsque la pièce d'habillage 30 dissimule le dispositif de remplissage 24. Selon une variante de l'invention, non représentée, une face interne 25 de la pièce d'habillage 30 peut former bouchon d'obturation de l'orifice de remplissage 28. L'agencement peut en outre comporter un moyen de contrôle (non représenté) du niveau de liquide dans le réservoir. Pour faciliter son utilisation, le dispositif de remplissage peut aussi 30 comporter des indications écrites ou des pictogrammes permettant -4 de déterminer à quel réservoir chaque orifice de remplissage correspond. Ainsi, l'agencement de ce dispositif de remplissage 24 selon l'invention permet à un utilisateur d'effectuer le remplissage du réservoir 22 sans avoir besoin de soulever le capot 16. Le dispositif de remplissage est ainsi à sa portée et facile à utiliser.Locking means (not shown) preventing access to the filling port 28 by an unauthorized person may be provided when the covering part 30 conceals the filling device 24. According to a variant of the invention , not shown, an inner face 25 of the covering part 30 may form a closure cap of the filling orifice 28. The arrangement may further comprise a control means (not shown) of the liquid level in the tank. To facilitate its use, the filling device may also include written indications or pictograms for determining which tank each filling port corresponds to. Thus, the arrangement of this filling device 24 according to the invention allows a user to fill the reservoir 22 without the need to lift the cover 16. The filling device is thus within reach and easy to use.
