Description

Dispositif de correction d’assiette pour projecteur de véhicule automobileTrim correction device for a motor vehicle headlamp

L’invention s’applique au domaine du réglage des projecteurs des véhicules automobiles.The invention applies to the field of adjusting motor vehicle headlights.

Plus particulièrement, l’invention concerne un dispositif destiné à effectuer des corrections d’assiette du faisceau lumineux émis par les projecteurs afin de respecter les conditions d’éclairage réglementaires imposés pour ne pas éblouir les autres usagers de la route.More particularly, the invention relates to a device intended to carry out trim corrections of the light beam emitted by the headlights in order to comply with the regulatory lighting conditions imposed so as not to dazzle other road users.

Traditionnellement, les moyens de réglage équipant les projecteurs de véhicules automobiles comprennent, notamment, un organe mécanique pourvu d’une vis sans fin permettant de recentrer l’orientation nominale du faisceau. Cette opération est généralement effectuée avant la livraison d’un véhicule neuf ou lors d’un contrôle technique ultérieur.Traditionally, the adjustment means fitted to motor vehicle headlamps comprise, in particular, a mechanical member provided with an endless screw making it possible to recenter the nominal orientation of the beam. This operation is generally carried out before the delivery of a new vehicle or during a subsequent technical inspection.

La vis sans fin est montée par l’arrière du projecteur en retournant son boîtier et est introduite dans un conduit à paroi interne lisse qu’elle vient tarauder au vissage.The endless screw is mounted from the rear of the projector by turning its housing over and is introduced into a duct with a smooth internal wall which it taps when screwing.

Ce mode de montage soulève toutefois des problèmes comme un taraudage qui peut s’avérer par la suite défectueux et la nécessité de disposer d’un outil automatique de vissage pour l’assemblage final du boîtier après mise en place de la vis.However, this method of assembly raises problems such as threading which may subsequently prove to be defective and the need to have an automatic screwing tool for the final assembly of the case after installation of the screw.

Un dispositif de réglage pour projecteur est décrit, notamment, dans le brevet FR2736313B1 qui prévoit d’utiliser un actionneur comprenant un train d’engrenage et une vis sans fin.A headlight adjustment device is described, in particular, in patent FR2736313B1 which provides for the use of an actuator comprising a gear train and a worm.

Par ailleurs, le brevet FR2721565B1 décrit un mécanisme de réglage mécanique de la position d’un projecteur automobile, comprenant un réducteur et un renvoi d'angle à roue et vis sans fin.Furthermore, patent FR2721565B1 describes a mechanism for mechanical adjustment of the position of an automobile headlamp, comprising a reduction gear and a bevel transmission with a wheel and endless screw.

Cependant, les moyens proposés dans ces brevets ne sont, ni conçus, ni adaptés pour le montage, dans un boîtier de projecteur, de la vis sans fin d’un dispositif correcteur d’assiette du faisceau émis par ce projecteur.However, the means proposed in these patents are neither designed nor adapted for the mounting, in a headlamp housing, of the endless screw of a device for leveling the beam emitted by this headlamp.

Dans ce contexte spécifique, l’invention vise à résoudre les problèmes techniques mentionnés précédemment en proposant un dispositif de support perfectionné permettant l’intégration directe, à l’intérieur du boitier de projecteur, de la vis sans fin de réglage du projecteur par une opération de montage simplifiée.In this specific context, the invention aims to solve the technical problems mentioned above by proposing an improved support device allowing the direct integration, inside the headlight housing, of the endless screw for adjusting the headlight by an operation simplified assembly.

Ce but est atteint au moyen d’un dispositif de support d’une vis sans fin de réglage de l’assiette d’un projecteur de véhicule automobile dans un boîtier, comprenant une partie fixe solidaire du boîtier et une partie mobile solidaire du projecteur et susceptible d’être déplacée en translation sous l’action de la vis, caractérisé en ce que la partie mobile comprend une douille pourvue d’une gorge à ouverture latérale destinée à recevoir la vis et dont la paroi interne porte des filets destinés à coopérer avec le filetage de ladite vis.This object is achieved by means of a device for supporting an endless screw for adjusting the trim of a motor vehicle headlight in a housing, comprising a fixed part secured to the housing and a movable part secured to the headlight and capable of being moved in translation under the action of the screw, characterized in that the movable part comprises a sleeve provided with a groove with lateral opening intended to receive the screw and the internal wall of which carries threads intended to cooperate with the thread of said screw.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, le dispositif de support de l’invention comprend, en outre, une agrafe amovible destinée à fermer localement l’ouverture latérale de la gorge pour verrouiller la vis dans la douille.According to an advantageous characteristic, the support device of the invention further comprises a removable clip intended to locally close the side opening of the groove to lock the screw in the socket.

Selon une variante spécifique, cette agrafe porte des pattes flexibles destinées à coopérer par encliquetage avec des organes complémentaires portés par la paroi de la douille.According to a specific variant, this clip carries flexible lugs intended to cooperate by snap-fastening with complementary members carried by the wall of the sleeve.

De préférence, les pattes présentes des orifices dans lesquels viennent se bloquer, de manière réversible, des ergots d’accrochages portés par la douille.Preferably, the lugs have orifices in which are blocked, in a reversible manner, hooking lugs carried by the sleeve.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse de cette variante, l’agrafe présente une face centrale concave destinée à venir en appui contre la vis.According to an advantageous characteristic of this variant, the clip has a concave central face intended to bear against the screw.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la partie fixe comporte un palier au moins partiellement cylindrique destiné à recevoir un tronçon d’extrémité de la vis.According to another characteristic, the fixed part comprises an at least partially cylindrical bearing intended to receive an end section of the screw.

De préférence, ce palier présente une rainure interne de calage dans lequel est logé de manière rotative un épaulement périphérique porté par la vis.Preferably, this bearing has an internal wedging groove in which is rotatably housed a peripheral shoulder carried by the screw.

L’invention prévoit, en outre, que la partie fixe comporte un orifice pour la pose d’un organe de fixation sur le boîtier.The invention further provides that the fixed part includes an orifice for fitting a fixing member to the housing.

Selon une variante particulière, la vis présente une tête évidée dans laquelle vient se loger un pion coaxial porté par le boîtier.According to a particular variant, the screw has a hollow head in which is housed a coaxial pin carried by the housing.

Un autre objet de l’invention est un projecteur de véhicule automobile logé dans un boîtier et équipé d’une vis sans fin destinée au réglage mécanique de son assiette, caractérisé en ce que la vis est montée sur un dispositif de support présentant les caractéristiques définies ci-dessus.Another object of the invention is a motor vehicle headlamp housed in a casing and equipped with an endless screw intended for the mechanical adjustment of its trim, characterized in that the screw is mounted on a support device having the characteristics defined above.

Le dispositif de l’invention permet un assemblage aisé et rapide de la vis dans le boîtier du projecteur en s’affranchissant d’un outillage complexe. Le dispositif de l’invention assure, en outre, un support fiable de la vis qui peut ainsi garantir un réglage fin et précis du projecteur.The device of the invention allows easy and rapid assembly of the screw in the housing of the headlamp by dispensing with complex tools. The device of the invention also provides reliable support for the screw which can thus guarantee fine and precise adjustment of the headlamp.

L’invention offre également un gain économique appréciable en production puisque le montage de la vis sur son dispositif de support ne nécessite plus de retournement du boîtier peut être effectué conjointement à l’assemblage des autres composants internes.The invention also offers an appreciable economic gain in production since the mounting of the screw on its support device no longer requires turning over of the case can be carried out jointly with the assembly of the other internal components.

D’autres caractéristiques et avantages de l’invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, en référence aux figures annexées et détaillées ci-après.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent on reading the description which follows, with reference to the appended figures detailed below.

Naturellement, les modes de mise en œuvre de l’invention illustrés par les figures présentées ci-dessus et décrites ci-après, ne sont donnés qu'à titre d’exemples non limitatifs. Il est explicitement prévu que l'on puisse proposer et combiner entre eux différents modes pour en proposer d'autres.Naturally, the embodiments of the invention illustrated by the figures presented above and described below, are given only by way of non-limiting examples. It is explicitly provided that it is possible to propose and combine different modes to propose others.

Le dispositif de l’invention est destiné au support des moyens de réglage d’un projecteur de véhicule automobile et, plus précisément, d’ajustement de l’orientation du faisceau lumineux émis par ce projecteur par le biais d’une correction de son assiette.The device of the invention is intended for supporting means for adjusting a motor vehicle headlamp and, more precisely, for adjusting the orientation of the light beam emitted by this headlamp by means of a correction of its trim .

Ce réglage est généralement effectué au moyen d’une vis sans fin solidaire du boîtier qui assure un réglage mécanique en recentrant l’assiette du projecteur et, plus précisément, l’orientation nominale du faisceau émis, par exemple, à l’occasion d’un contrôle technique.This adjustment is generally carried out by means of a worm screw integral with the housing which provides mechanical adjustment by recentering the trim of the headlamp and, more precisely, the nominal orientation of the beam emitted, for example, on the occasion of a technical inspection.

Du fait des problèmes techniques rencontrés par les dispositifs traditionnels, l’invention vise à modifier la structure du dispositif de support de la vis, en particulier, pour simplifier et faciliter son montage dans le boîtier.Due to the technical problems encountered by traditional devices, the invention aims to modify the structure of the screw support device, in particular, to simplify and facilitate its mounting in the housing.

A cet effet et comme illustré par les figures 1A et 1B, le dispositif de support de l’invention comprend comprenant une partie mobile 1 solidaire du projecteur (non représenté) et susceptible d’être déplacée en translation par la vis 3 et une partie fixe 2 solidaire du boîtier B (visible sur la figure 1B).To this end and as illustrated by FIGS. 1A and 1B, the support device of the invention comprises comprising a movable part 1 secured to the headlight (not shown) and capable of being moved in translation by the screw 3 and a fixed part 2 secured to the housing B (visible in Figure 1B).

La partie mobile 1 comprend une douille 11 pourvue d’une gorge 10 à ouverture latérale destinée à recevoir la vis 3 selon une direction transversale et dont la paroi interne porte des filets 10a destinés à coopérer avec le filetage 31 de la vis 3 en position d’assemblage, comme illustré par la figure 1B.The movable part 1 comprises a sleeve 11 provided with a groove 10 with lateral opening intended to receive the screw 3 in a transverse direction and whose internal wall carries threads 10a intended to cooperate with the thread 31 of the screw 3 in position d assembly, as shown in Figure 1B.

Une agrafe amovible 4 vient fermer localement la gorge 10 pour verrouiller la vis 3 dans la douille 11. A cet effet, l’agrafe 4 présente une face centrale 41 à profil concave destinée à venir en appui contre le filetage de la vis 3.A removable clip 4 locally closes the groove 10 to lock the screw 3 in the sleeve 11. To this end, the clip 4 has a central face 41 with a concave profile intended to bear against the thread of the screw 3.

Selon une variante de réalisation de l’invention non représentée, les filets 10a seraient réalisés sur la face interne 41 de l’agrafe au lieu de la paroi de la gorge 10.According to a variant embodiment of the invention not shown, the threads 10a would be made on the internal face 41 of the clip instead of the wall of the groove 10.

L’agrafe 4 porte des pattes flexibles 42 présentant des orifices 40 dans lesquels viennent se bloquer des ergots 12 ou des dents d’accrochages portés la paroi supérieure de la douille 11, comme illustré en détail par les figures 1A et 4. Toutefois, le verrouillage de la vis 3 est réversible puisque la séparation de l’agrafe 4 par déformation des pattes 42 permet d’extraire transversalement la vis 3 de la douille 11.The clip 4 carries flexible tabs 42 having orifices 40 in which are blocked lugs 12 or hooking teeth carried the upper wall of the sleeve 11, as illustrated in detail by Figures 1A and 4. However, the locking of the screw 3 is reversible since the separation of the clip 4 by deformation of the lugs 42 makes it possible to extract the screw 3 transversely from the sleeve 11.

La partie fixe 2 comporte un orifice 20 pour la pose d’un organe de fixation F (tel qu’un écrou ou une vis, figure 1B) sur le boîtier B. La vis 3 présente une tête évidée 30 dans laquelle vient se loger un pion coaxial P porté par le boîtier B.The fixed part 2 has an orifice 20 for fitting a fixing member F (such as a nut or a screw, FIG. 1B) to the casing B. The screw 3 has a recessed head 30 in which a coaxial pin P carried by box B.

La partie fixe 2 comporte, en outre, un palier 21 au moins partiellement cylindrique destiné à recevoir un tronçon lisse 32 d’extrémité de la vis 3, comme illustré par les figures 1A, 1B et 2.The fixed part 2 further comprises an at least partially cylindrical bearing 21 intended to receive a smooth end section 32 of the screw 3, as illustrated by FIGS. 1A, 1B and 2.

Le palier 21 présente une rainure interne 22 dans lequel est calé et logé de manière rotative un épaulement périphérique 33 porté par la vis 3. Cet épaulement 33 assure un blocage en translation de la vis 3 dans le dispositif de support de façon à ce que seule la douille 11 se déplace sous l’action du vissage.The bearing 21 has an internal groove 22 in which is wedged and rotatably housed a peripheral shoulder 33 carried by the screw 3. This shoulder 33 provides locking in translation of the screw 3 in the support device so that only the sleeve 11 moves under the action of screwing.

Une variante de réalisation de la partie fixe 2, permettant d’améliorer l’ergonomie au montage, pourrait consister à prévoir des nervures ou des bossages élastiquement déformables sur la paroi du palier 21 pour retenir la vis 3 lors de son assemblage avec la partie fixe 2 avant assemblage avec la partie mobile 1 et verrouillage par l’agrafe 4.An alternative embodiment of the fixed part 2, making it possible to improve the ergonomics during assembly, could consist in providing elastically deformable ribs or bosses on the wall of the bearing 21 to retain the screw 3 during its assembly with the fixed part. 2 before assembly with the mobile part 1 and locking by clip 4.

La partie mobile 1 et la partie fixe 2 du dispositif de support peuvent être fabriquées par moulage à injection d’une matière plastique, les filets 10a de la douille 11 pouvant être démoulés facilement. L’agrafe 4 est, quant à elle, réalisée de préférence en métal.The mobile part 1 and the fixed part 2 of the support device can be manufactured by injection molding of a plastic material, the threads 10a of the sleeve 11 being able to be unmolded easily. The clip 4 is, for its part, preferably made of metal.

L’assemblage des divers composants des moyens de réglage du projecteur sont assemblés de la manière suivante. La vis sans fin 3 possédant un épaulement 33 est introduite transversalement dans le palier 21 de la partie fixe 1. L’ensemble est monté sur le boitier B du projecteur en amenant le pion cylindrique P du boîtier dans la tête évidée 30 de la vis 3 puis en solidarisant la partie fixe 2 sur le boîtier B au moyen de l’organe de fixation F.The assembly of the various components of the headlamp adjustment means are assembled as follows. The endless screw 3 having a shoulder 33 is inserted transversely into the bearing 21 of the fixed part 1. The assembly is mounted on the housing B of the projector by bringing the cylindrical pin P of the housing into the recessed head 30 of the screw 3 then by securing the fixed part 2 to the casing B by means of the fixing member F.

La partie mobile 1 est ensuite assemblée transversalement sur la vis 3 (filets 10a contre filetage 31). Puis l’agrafe 4 est amenée transversalement dans le sens opposé à la partie mobile 1et encliquetée sur la douille 11. Grâce à ses pattes flexibles 42, l’agrafe 4 maintien un effort constant et sans jeu sur la vis 3 de sens opposé aux forces de contact entre les filets 10a et le filetage 31.The movable part 1 is then assembled transversely on the screw 3 (threads 10a against threads 31). Then the clip 4 is brought transversely in the opposite direction to the movable part 1 and snapped onto the sleeve 11. Thanks to its flexible legs 42, the clip 4 maintains a constant force and without play on the screw 3 of direction opposite to the forces of contact between the threads 10a and the thread 31.

Une variante de montage pourrait consister à assembler d’abord tout le système de réglage du projecteur vis 3-partie mobile 1-partie mobile 2-agrafe 4, puis à fixer cet ensemble sur le boitier B de projecteur.An assembly variant could consist of first assembling the entire headlamp adjustment system screw 3-moving part 1-moving part 2-clip 4, then attaching this assembly to the headlamp housing B.
