Description
La présente invention concerne un ensemble comprenant un support et un boîtier équipé d’un système de clipsage sur ce support, ainsi qu'un véhicule automobile comportant un tel ensemble.The present invention relates to an assembly comprising a support and a box equipped with a system for clipping onto this support, as well as a motor vehicle comprising such an assembly.
Les véhicules automobiles peuvent comporter des dispositifs électriques contenus dans un boîtier réalisé par un moulage en matière plastique, fixés sur une partie de carrosserie. En particulier on peut fixer ces dispositifs électriques dans un compartiment moteur sur un passage de roue formé par une tôle, avec un système de clipsage réalisé directement dans le moulage du boîtier, qui s’accroche dans un perçage de la tôle.Motor vehicles may include electrical devices contained in a casing produced by a molding of plastics material, fixed to a part of the bodywork. In particular, these electrical devices can be fixed in an engine compartment on a wheel arch formed by sheet metal, with a clipping system made directly in the molding of the housing, which hooks into a hole in the sheet metal.
Un type de système de clipsage connu, présenté notamment par le document EP-A1-2530338, comporte un corps comprenant une face d’appui tournée vers le bas, qui présente un bras axial allongé verticalement, équipé sur deux côtés opposés d’un clip élastique disposant d’une pente tournée vers le bas.A type of known clipping system, presented in particular by the document EP-A1-2530338, comprises a body comprising a support surface facing downwards, which has a vertically elongated axial arm, equipped on two opposite sides with a clip elastic with a downward slope.
Une ouverture de la plaque reçoit de manière ajustée le bras allongé, les pentes des clips prenant appui sur le contour de l’ouverture, permettant à ces clips de se resserrer progressivement vers l’axe du bras.An opening in the plate accommodates the elongated arm in an adjusted manner, the slopes of the clips resting on the contour of the opening, allowing these clips to gradually tighten towards the axis of the arm.
L’extrémité supérieure de chaque clip arrivant sous la plaque permet à ces clips de s’écarter vers l’extérieur par un retour élastique en formant des rebords prenant appui sous la plaque. La plaque est alors serrée axialement entre la face d’appui du corps et les deux clips, ce qui assure un maintien de ce corps sur la plaque. Ensuite une clé insérée dans un perçage axial du bras, maintient l’écartement des clips de manière à sécuriser le verrouillage.The upper end of each clip arriving under the plate allows these clips to move outwards by elastic return, forming edges resting under the plate. The plate is then clamped axially between the bearing face of the body and the two clips, which ensures that this body is held on the plate. Then a key inserted in an axial bore of the arm, maintains the spacing of the clips so as to secure the locking.
Toutefois certains boîtiers réalisés par le moulage d’une matière plastique, peuvent présenter des clips élastiques fragiles qui sont cassés lors du montage sur la plaque. Dans ce cas on peut changer le boîtier pour disposer de nouveaux clips.However, some casings made by molding a plastic material may have fragile elastic clips which are broken during assembly on the plate. In this case, the case can be changed to have new clips.
Cependant certains dispositifs électriques, en particulier dans le cas d’un faisceau électrique de véhicule automobile, comportent déjà un câblage complet d’éléments électriques ou électroniques contenus dans le boîtier, comprenant des câbles qui rentrent dans ce boîtier. Le changement de boîtier oblige à refaire les connections des câbles ce qui ne peut se faire de manière sécurisée sur la chaîne d’assemblage du véhicule. Le faisceau complet est perdu ce qui entraîne des coûts importants.However, some electrical devices, in particular in the case of a motor vehicle wiring harness, already include complete wiring of electrical or electronic elements contained in the box, including cables which fit into this box. Changing the box requires redoing the cable connections, which cannot be done securely on the vehicle assembly line. The complete beam is lost which leads to significant costs.
En variante une solution de réparation aléatoire improvisée sur la chaîne de montage, comme la pose de vis pour serrer le boîtier sur le support, ne peut être acceptée car entraînant des risques comme la mise en contact des vis avec des parties électriques qui pourraient causer des défaillances.Alternatively, a random repair solution improvised on the assembly line, such as installing screws to tighten the box on the support, cannot be accepted because it entails risks such as bringing the screws into contact with electrical parts which could cause failures.
La présente invention a notamment pour but d’éviter ces problèmes de l’art antérieur.The object of the present invention is in particular to avoid these problems of the prior art.
Elle propose à cet effet un ensemble clipsé comportant un support présentant une partie plate disposant d’une ouverture, et comportant un boîtier présentant une face d’appui venant au-dessus de cette partie plate, comprenant une partie axiale allongée perpendiculairement à cette face d’appui qui rentre dans l'ouverture, cet ensemble étant remarquable en ce qu’il comporte une interface de clipsage introduite axialement sur la partie axiale du boîtier, comprenant des premiers clips de fixation au-dessus de cette partie axiale, et des deuxièmes clips de fixation en dessous de la partie plate du support.It proposes for this purpose a clipped assembly comprising a support having a flat part having an opening, and comprising a housing having a bearing face coming above this flat part, comprising an elongated axial part perpendicular to this face. support which fits into the opening, this assembly being remarkable in that it comprises a clipping interface introduced axially on the axial part of the housing, comprising first fixing clips above this axial part, and second clips fixing below the flat part of the support.
Un avantage de cet ensemble clipsé est que pour un boîtier comportant initialement un système de clipsage directement moulé sur sa partie axiale, dans le cas d’une détérioration de ce système de clipsage, on ajuste alors l’interface sur cette partie axiale avec une fixation par les premiers clips. On introduit ensuite la partie axiale avec l’interface dans l’ouverture du support, les deuxièmes clips assurant alors comme à l’origine la fixation du boîtier sur le support.An advantage of this clipped assembly is that for a housing initially comprising a clipping system directly molded on its axial part, in the event of deterioration of this clipping system, the interface is then adjusted on this axial part with a fixing by the first clips. The axial part with the interface is then introduced into the opening of the support, the second clips then ensuring, as originally, the fixing of the case to the support.
On obtient une fixation du boîtier sur le support similaire à celle d’origine sans effectuer aucune modification du support, et de ce boîtier ce qui assure son intégrité. En particulier dans le cas d’un faisceau de véhicule automobile, on évite des modifications aléatoires du boîtier qui pourraient entraîner des incidents, ou le changement complet de faisceau qui présente un coût élevé.We obtain a fixing of the box on the support similar to that of origin without making any modification of the support, and of this box which ensures its integrity. In particular in the case of a motor vehicle beam, random modifications of the housing which could lead to incidents, or the complete change of beam which has a high cost, are avoided.
L’ensemble clipsé selon l’invention peut comporter de plus une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, qui peuvent être combinées entre elles.The clipped assembly according to the invention may also comprise one or more of the following characteristics, which may be combined with each other.
Avantageusement, le serrage des premiers clips et des deuxièmes clips se fait suivant deux directions transversales perpendiculaires.Advantageously, the tightening of the first clips and the second clips takes place in two perpendicular transverse directions.
Avantageusement, la partie axiale présente une section transversale en forme de «H» comportant une barre centrale recevant à ses extrémités des bras perpendiculaires.Advantageously, the axial part has a cross-section in the shape of an "H" comprising a central bar receiving at its ends perpendicular arms.
Avantageusement, l’interface comporte une fente disposée suivant une première direction transversale, perpendiculaire à une deuxième direction transversale, recevant la barre centrale de la partie axiale.Advantageously, the interface comprises a slot arranged in a first transverse direction, perpendicular to a second transverse direction, receiving the central bar of the axial part.
Dans ce cas, avantageusement l’interface comporte en partie supérieure des bossages comprenant des rebords inférieurs disposés suivant la deuxième direction transversale, formant les premiers clips.In this case, the interface advantageously comprises, in the upper part, bosses comprising lower edges arranged in the second transverse direction, forming the first clips.
De plus, avantageusement l’interface comporte quatre bossages séparés dans la première direction transversale par des espaces permettant un resserrement dans cette direction par une déformation élastique, chaque bossage comportant une pente tournée vers le haut qui est parallèle à la deuxième direction transversale.In addition, advantageously the interface comprises four bosses separated in the first transverse direction by spaces allowing a tightening in this direction by an elastic deformation, each boss comprising a slope facing upwards which is parallel to the second transverse direction.
Avantageusement, l’interface comporte des saillies disposées suivant la deuxième direction transversale, formant les deuxièmes clips.Advantageously, the interface comprises projections arranged in the second transverse direction, forming the second clips.
Dans ce cas, avantageusement l’interface comporte en dessous des saillies des pentes tournées vers le bas, disposées parallèlement à la première direction transversale.In this case, the interface advantageously comprises, below the projections, slopes facing downwards, arranged parallel to the first transverse direction.
En particulier, le boîtier peut comporter des équipements électriques ou électroniques comprenant des câbles électriques sortant de ce boîtier.In particular, the casing may include electrical or electronic equipment comprising electrical cables exiting from this casing.
L’invention a aussi pour objet un véhicule automobile équipé d’un faisceau électrique comprenant un boîtier contenant des équipements électroniques, fixé sur un support dans le compartiment moteur, remarquable en ce que ce boîtier fait partie d’un ensemble clipsé comprenant l’une quelconque des caractéristiques précédentes.The invention also relates to a motor vehicle equipped with an electrical harness comprising a box containing electronic equipment, fixed to a support in the engine compartment, remarkable in that this box is part of a clipped assembly comprising one any of the above characteristics.
L’invention sera mieux comprise et d’autres caractéristiques et avantages apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description ci-après donnée à titre d’exemple, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels:The invention will be better understood and other characteristics and advantages will appear more clearly on reading the description below given by way of example, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
La figure 1 présente un boîtier vide et ouvert 2 de forme globalement parallélépipédique, moulé en matière plastique, comprenant sur les côtés des fixations 6 prévues pour recevoir un couvercle non représenté. Le boîtier recevant des composants électroniques reliés à l’extérieur par des câbles électriques sortant de ce boîtier, fait partie d’un faisceau électrique d’un véhicule automobile.FIG. 1 shows an empty and open casing 2 of generally parallelepipedal shape, molded in plastic material, comprising on the sides fasteners 6 provided to receive a cover, not shown. The box receiving electronic components connected to the outside by electrical cables coming out of this box, is part of an electrical harness of a motor vehicle.
La base du boîtier 2 comporte un puit circulaire 8 se terminant par un fond plat formant une surface d’appui 10 venant sur un passage de roue réalisé en tôle emboutie, qui constitue un support 4 disposé dans le compartiment avant du véhicule recevant la motorisation.The base of the box 2 comprises a circular well 8 ending in a flat bottom forming a support surface 10 coming on a wheel arch made of stamped sheet metal, which constitutes a support 4 arranged in the front compartment of the vehicle receiving the engine.
Les figures 2 et 3 présentent la surface d'appui du boîtier 10 disposée suivant une direction transversale, venant à plat sur une face d’appui correspondante 30 du support 4. La face d’appui du boîtier 10 comporte au centre une partie axiale allongée 12 perpendiculaire à cette face, présentant une section transversale en forme de «H» comprenant une barre centrale 14 recevant à ses extrémités deux bras perpendiculaire 16.Figures 2 and 3 show the bearing surface of the housing 10 arranged in a transverse direction, coming flat on a corresponding bearing face 30 of the support 4. The bearing face of the housing 10 comprises in the center an elongated axial part 12 perpendicular to this face, having an "H"-shaped cross section comprising a central bar 14 receiving at its ends two perpendicular arms 16.
Par convention dans la description la surface d’appui du boîtier 10 est présentée horizontalement, la partie axiale 12 étant tournée vers le bas. Dans le véhicule le boîtier 2 peut prendre toutes les orientations.By convention in the description, the support surface of the housing 10 is presented horizontally, the axial part 12 being turned downwards. In the vehicle, the box 2 can take any orientation.
La face d’appui du support 30 comporte une ouverture en forme de «H» recevant de manière ajustée la partie axiale 12 du boîtier 2, chaque côté des bras 16 se terminant par une pente 18 inclinée vers la barre centrale 14, formant un chanfrein d’entrée qui facilite l’introduction de cette partie axiale dans l’ouverture.The bearing surface of the support 30 comprises an "H"-shaped opening receiving the axial part 12 of the casing 2 in an adjusted manner, each side of the arms 16 ending in a slope 18 inclined towards the central bar 14, forming a chamfer input which facilitates the introduction of this axial part into the opening.
Chaque côté de la barre centrale 14 comporte deux clips élastiques de verrouillage 20 présentant une pente tournée vers le bas, et un rebord supérieur transversal.Each side of the central bar 14 comprises two elastic locking clips 20 having a downward slope, and a transverse upper rim.
Pendant la descente de la partie axiale 12 dans l’ouverture, les pentes des clips 20 resserrent ces clips vers l’axe de cette partie axiale. En fin de descente les clips 20 se détendent vers l’extérieur, en ajustant leurs rebords supérieurs transversal sous la face d’appui du support 30 ce qui verrouille le boîtier 2 sur ce support.During the descent of the axial part 12 in the opening, the slopes of the clips 20 tighten these clips towards the axis of this axial part. At the end of the descent, the clips 20 expand outwards, adjusting their transverse upper edges under the support surface of the support 30, which locks the box 2 on this support.
Toutefois les clips 20 reliés de manière souple au boîtier 2 par des liaisons élastiques qui sont fines, peuvent casser lors d’une mauvaise manipulation au montage.However, the clips 20 flexibly connected to the housing 2 by elastic connections which are thin, can break during improper handling during assembly.
Les figures 4 et 5 présentent une interface 40 réalisée par un moulage d’une matière plastique, comportant une forme allongée suivant l’axe de la partie axiale du boîtier 2, disposant d’une fente transversale 42 disposée suivant une première direction transversale A, descendant presque jusqu’en bas pour recevoir la barre centrale 14 de cette partie axiale.Figures 4 and 5 show an interface 40 made by molding a plastic material, comprising an elongated shape along the axis of the axial part of the housing 2, having a transverse slot 42 arranged in a first transverse direction A, descending almost to the bottom to receive the central bar 14 of this axial part.
Dans ce cas la barre transversale 14 a perdu ses clips de verrouillage 20 présentés dans le système de liaison suivant l’art antérieur, le reste du boîtier 2 étant identique.In this case the crossbar 14 has lost its locking clips 20 presented in the connection system according to the prior art, the rest of the housing 2 being identical.
L’extrémité inférieure de l’interface 40 comporte deux pentes inférieures tournées vers le bas 52, parallèles à la première direction transversale A, formant des chanfreins d’entrée pour l’introduction dans l’ouverture du support 4.The lower end of the interface 40 has two lower slopes facing downwards 52, parallel to the first transverse direction A, forming entry chamfers for introduction into the opening of the support 4.
La partie supérieure de l’interface 40 comporte dans chaque angle un bossage 46 comprenant chacun une pente tournée vers le haut 48, parallèle à la deuxième direction transversale B, et un rebord inférieur transversal 50. Les bossages 46 alignés suivant la première direction transversale A sont séparés par un espace 54 leur permettant de se resserrer l’un de l’autre par déformation élastique.The upper part of the interface 40 comprises in each corner a boss 46 each comprising a slope facing upwards 48, parallel to the second transverse direction B, and a lower transverse edge 50. The bosses 46 aligned along the first transverse direction A are separated by a space 54 allowing them to tighten together by elastic deformation.
Lors d’une montée de l’interface 40 sous la partie axiale du boîtier 12, en introduisant la barre centrale 14 dans la fente transversale 42, les pentes des bossages 48 resserrent ces bossages 46 l’un vers l’autre suivant la première direction transversale A par une déformation élastique.During a rise of the interface 40 under the axial part of the casing 12, by introducing the central bar 14 into the transverse slot 42, the slopes of the bosses 48 tighten these bosses 46 towards each other in the first direction. transverse A by an elastic deformation.
En fin de montée présentée figures 6 et 7, les rebords inférieurs 50 des bossages 46 passent au-dessus de la face d’appui du boîtier 10, ce qui permet à ces bossages de se détendre vers l’extérieur en assurant un verrouillage par clipsage de l’interface dans le boîtier 2.At the end of the ascent presented in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lower edges 50 of the bosses 46 pass above the bearing face of the casing 10, which allows these bosses to relax outwards, ensuring locking by clipping. of the interface in box 2.
L’interface 40 comporte au-dessus de chaque pente inférieure 52 une saillie 58 se terminant au-dessus par un rebord supérieur 56 qui est aligné suivant la première direction transversale A.The interface 40 comprises above each lower slope 52 a projection 58 terminating above by an upper rim 56 which is aligned along the first transverse direction A.
La figure 8 présente la partie axiale du boîtier 12 et l’interface 40 qui ont été introduits dans l’ouverture de la face d’appui du support 30, les pentes inférieures de cette partie 18 et de cette interface 52 formant une pointe qui facilite cette introduction.Figure 8 shows the axial part of the housing 12 and the interface 40 which have been introduced into the opening of the support face of the support 30, the lower slopes of this part 18 and of this interface 52 forming a point which facilitates this intro.
Lors de la descente de l’interface 40, ses pentes inférieures 52 permettent un resserrement élastique des saillies 58 dans la deuxième direction transversale B en comprimant la fente transversale intermédiaire 42. En fin d’introduction le rebord supérieur 56 de chaque saillie 58 passe en dessous de la face d’appui du support 30, ce qui permet à ces saillies de s’écarter dans la deuxième direction transversale B, en assurant un verrouillage de l’interface 40 sur le support 4.During the descent of the interface 40, its lower slopes 52 allow an elastic tightening of the projections 58 in the second transverse direction B by compressing the intermediate transverse slot 42. At the end of the introduction the upper rim 56 of each projection 58 passes below the support face of the support 30, which allows these projections to move apart in the second transverse direction B, ensuring locking of the interface 40 on the support 4.
On obtient sans modification d’un boîtier existant 2 qui a perdu ses clips de verrouillage 20 prévus initialement, avec l’interface 40 présentant un coût très réduit, la possibilité de fixer le boîtier 2 sur le support 4 en conservant le principe de fixation prévu initialement. L’intégrité du boîtier 2 est garantie.Without modifying an existing box 2 which has lost its locking clips 20 initially provided, with the interface 40 having a very low cost, the possibility of fixing the box 2 on the support 4 while retaining the principle of fixing provided initially. The integrity of box 2 is guaranteed.
Pour un boîtier 2 d’un dispositif électrique déjà câblé sur un faisceau du véhicule, avec différents câbles rentrant dedans, le boîtier n’a pas besoin d’être ouvert ni séparé de ce faisceau, ce qui permet d’utiliser le faisceau complet sans modification.For a box 2 of an electrical device already wired on a vehicle harness, with different cables entering it, the box does not need to be opened or separated from this harness, which makes it possible to use the complete harness without change.
