Description

VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE COMPRENANT UN DISPOSITIF D'ECLAIRAGE OU DE SIGNALISATION AYANT UN POSITIONNEMENT AMELIORE. L'invention concerne les véhicules automobiles et plus précisément les dispositifs d'éclairage ou de signalisation montés sur ceux-ci. MOTOR VEHICLE COMPRISING A LIGHTING OR SIGNALING DEVICE HAVING IMPROVED POSITIONING. The invention relates to motor vehicles and more precisely to the lighting or signaling devices mounted thereon.
On connaît des véhicules automobiles comprenant un châssis, des pièces de carrosserie fixées au châssis et des projecteurs. Chaque projeteur comporte un boîtier et une glace rigidement fixée au boîtier. Le boîtier du projecteur est fixé au châssis du véhicule. II résulte de ce montage que les jeux et affleurements de la glace par rapport aux pièces de carrosserie adjacentes sont fonction d'une chaîne de cotes relativement longues englobant la glace, le boîtier, le châssis et la pièce de carrosserie. Sachant que chaque maillon de cette chaîne de cotes présente ses propres tolérances, les jeux de positionnement entre la glace et la pièce de carrosserie sont nécessairement très importants. Il s'ensuit parfois sur la chaîne de montage un positionnement très imparfait de la glace par rapport aux pièces de carrosserie conduisant notamment à un mauvais affleurement. Ces imperfections nuisent à l'esthétique de la façade avant du véhicule.Motor vehicles are known comprising a chassis, body parts fixed to the chassis and headlights. Each projector has a housing and a glass rigidly fixed to the housing. The projector housing is attached to the vehicle chassis. It follows from this arrangement that the clearances and outcrops of the glass with respect to the adjacent body parts are a function of a relatively long chain of dimensions including the glass, the housing, the chassis and the body part. Knowing that each link in this chain of dimensions has its own tolerances, the positioning clearances between the glass and the bodywork part are necessarily very important. It sometimes follows on the assembly line a very imperfect positioning of the glass with respect to the body parts leading in particular to a poor flush. These imperfections affect the aesthetics of the front panel of the vehicle.
Il résulte également de cet agencement que lors d'un choc frontal au niveau de la glace du projecteur, le projecteur constitue un ensemble rigide de sorte que l'effort est directement retransmis au châssis du véhicule. Par conséquent, lorsque le choc a lieu contre un piéton, il existe des risques de séquelles très importants pour le piéton. Un autre inconvénient, même s'il est subsidiaire, est qu'il se produit souvent dans les même circonstances un déréglage de la position du projecteur. Ce dernier n'est donc plus en mesure d'assurer convenablement sa fonction d'éclairage.It also follows from this arrangement that during a frontal impact at the level of the headlamp lens, the headlamp constitutes a rigid assembly so that the force is directly transmitted to the chassis of the vehicle. Consequently, when the impact takes place against a pedestrian, there are risks of very serious consequences for the pedestrian. Another drawback, even if it is subsidiary, is that there is often in the same circumstances an adjustment of the position of the headlight. The latter is therefore no longer able to properly perform its lighting function.
En outre, sachant que les glaces sont actuellement en matériaux incassables, le boîtier du projecteur et ses fixations encaissent les efforts et se brisent dans de nombreux cas entraînant un surcoût de réparation non négligeable. Un but de l'invention est de fournir des moyens simples pour améliorer l'esthétique de la façade avant du véhicule, réduire les séquelles lors d'un choc avec un piéton, éviter le déréglage du projecteur lors d'un tel choc et réduire le coût de réparation. En vue de la réalisation de ce but, on prévoit selon l'invention un véhicule comprenant un châssis, au moins une pièce de carrosserie et un dispositif d'éclairage et de signalisation comportant un boîtier fixé au châssis et une glace externe, dans lequel la glace est fixée directement à la ou à chaque pièce de carrosserie. Ainsi le jeu de positionnement de la glace par rapport à la pièce de carrosserie ne fait intervenir que ces deux pièces. Ce positionnement peut donc être associé à un jeu réduit. Par conséquent, on peut obtenir un positionnement de grande précision sans compliquer la pose.In addition, knowing that the windows are currently made of unbreakable materials, the projector housing and its fixtures absorb the forces and break in many cases resulting in a significant additional repair cost. An object of the invention is to provide simple means for improving the aesthetics of the front panel of the vehicle, reducing the aftereffects during an impact with a pedestrian, avoiding the adjustment of the headlight during such an impact and reducing the repair cost. With a view to achieving this aim, a vehicle is provided according to the invention comprising a chassis, at least one body part and a lighting and signaling device comprising a housing fixed to the chassis and an external lens, in which the glass is attached directly to the or to each body part. Thus the play in positioning the glass relative to the bodywork part only involves these two parts. This positioning can therefore be associated with reduced play. Consequently, high precision positioning can be obtained without complicating the installation.
De plus, lors d'un choc frontal du véhicule contre un piéton, l'impact du choc est transmis directement par la glace jusqu'à la pièce de carrosserie, laquelle est généralement relativement souple. Il se produit donc une absorption de l'énergie du choc qui réduit la gravité des séquelles que subit le piéton.In addition, during a frontal impact of the vehicle against a pedestrian, the impact of the shock is transmitted directly by the glass to the body part, which is generally relatively flexible. There is therefore an absorption of the energy of the shock which reduces the severity of the after-effects which the pedestrian suffers.
En outre, la glace n'étant pas directement reliée au boîtier du projecteur, un impact sur la glace n'entraîne pas en général un changement de la position du boîtier. Par conséquent même si la glace est déplacée ou brisée, le projecteur demeure capable d'assurer l'essentiel de sa fonction d'éclairage.In addition, since the lens is not directly connected to the projector housing, an impact on the lens does not generally cause the position of the housing to change. Therefore even if the glass is moved or broken, the projector remains capable of performing most of its lighting function.
Il en est de même si le dispositif est un feu de signalisation.The same applies if the device is a signaling light.
Enfin, le choc n'étant pas transmis jusqu'au projecteur, on réduit le coût de réparation le cas échéant.Finally, since the shock is not transmitted to the projector, the repair cost is reduced if necessary.
Le véhicule pourra en outre présenter au moins l'une des caractéristiques suivantes :The vehicle may also have at least one of the following characteristics:
- Il comporte un joint en matériau amortisseur de choc interposé entre la glace externe et le boîtier ; - Le dispositif d'éclairage ou de signalisation comprend une glace interne directement fixée au boîtier ;- It includes a gasket made of shock absorbing material interposed between the external glass and the housing; - The lighting or signaling device includes an internal lens directly fixed to the housing;
- La glace externe est en matière plastique ;- The external glass is made of plastic;

- La pièce de carrosserie est un bouclier de pare-chocs ;- The bodywork part is a bumper shield;
- La pièce de carrosserie est une aile ;- The bodywork part is a wing;
- Le dispositif d'éclairage ou de signalisation comprend un projecteur.- The lighting or signaling device includes a projector.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore à la lecture de la description suivante d'un mode préféré de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif. Aux dessins annexés :Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent on reading the following description of a preferred embodiment given by way of nonlimiting example. In the accompanying drawings:
La figure 1 est une vue partielle en perspective de la partie gauche d'une façade avant d'un véhicule selon l'invention ; etFigure 1 is a partial perspective view of the left part of a front panel of a vehicle according to the invention; and
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe verticale selon le plan II-II du véhicule de la figure 1.FIG. 2 is a view in vertical section along the plane II-II of the vehicle of FIG. 1.
En référence aux figures 1 et 2, le véhicule 2 selon le présent mode de réalisation de l'invention comprend dans sa façade avant un bouclier de pare- chocs 4, un capot 6, une calandre et deux projecteurs avant gauche et droit 8. Le véhicule comporte en outre un châssis 9 formant la structure interne du véhicule et comprenant entre autre des traverses et des longerons. Seule la partie avant gauche de la façade avant du véhicule a été illustrée à la figure 1. Il va de soi que le véhicule est globalement symétrique par rapport à un plan longitudinal vertical médian. Il va donc de soi que la façade avant présente une structure similaire en partie droite. On s'intéressera dans la suite uniquement à la constitution de la partie gauche de la façade avant, sachant que sa partie droite présente une construction semblable.Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the vehicle 2 according to this embodiment of the invention comprises in its front facade a bumper shield 4, a cover 6, a grille and two front left and right headlights 8. The vehicle further comprises a chassis 9 forming the internal structure of the vehicle and comprising inter alia sleepers and beams. Only the left front part of the front panel of the vehicle has been illustrated in FIG. 1. It goes without saying that the vehicle is generally symmetrical with respect to a median vertical longitudinal plane. It goes without saying that the front panel has a similar structure on the right side. We will focus in the following only on the constitution of the left part of the front facade, knowing that its right part has a similar construction.
Le projecteur 8 comporte un boîtier 10 renfermant les organes classiques d'un projecteur tels qu'une lampe, un réflecteur, etc.. Le projecteur 8 comprend une glace interne 12 s 'étendant en avant du boîtier 10 et fixée directement et rigidement à celui-ci. Le boîtier 10 est fixé directement et rigidement à la façade avant technique 14 du véhicule qui fait partie de son châssis c'est-à-dire de sa structure interne. La façade avant technique porte notamment le groupe motoventilateur.The projector 8 comprises a housing 10 containing the conventional members of a projector such as a lamp, a reflector, etc. The projector 8 includes an internal lens 12 extending in front of the housing 10 and fixed directly and rigidly thereto. The housing 10 is fixed directly and rigidly to the technical front panel 14 of the vehicle which is part of its chassis, that is to say of its internal structure. The technical front panel notably carries the fan unit.
Le projecteur 8 comprend en outre une glace externe 16 s'étendant en avant de la glace interne 12. Le faisceau émis par la lampe du projecteur traverse donc tout d'abord la glace interne 12 puis la glace externe 16 avant de se propager à l'extérieur du véhicule. La face externe de la glace externe 16 s'étend au contact de l'environnement extérieur du véhicule. Cette glace s'étend globalement dans le prolongement du capot 6 et du bouclier 4.The projector 8 further comprises an outer lens 16 extending in front of the inner lens 12. The beam emitted by the projector lamp therefore firstly crosses the inner lens 12 and then the outer lens 16 before propagating to the vehicle exterior. The external face of the external glass 16 extends in contact with the external environment of the vehicle. This glass generally extends in the extension of the cover 6 and the shield 4.
La glace 16 est fixée directement et rigidement au bouclier 4 d'une part et à l'aile gauche 7 d'autre part. A cette fin, la glace externe 16 présente un bord inférieur horizontal profilé 24 à section transversale en forme de U ouvert vers l'avant. Ce bord définit donc une gorge recevant un bord supérieur horizontal profilé 26 du bouclier 4. Ce bord 26 est reçu et retenu prisonnier dans le bord inférieur 24 de la glace, par exemple par clipsage.The glass 16 is fixed directly and rigidly to the shield 4 on the one hand and to the left wing 7 on the other hand. To this end, the external glass 16 has a profiled horizontal lower edge 24 with a U-shaped cross section open towards the front. This edge therefore defines a groove receiving a profiled horizontal upper edge 26 of the shield 4. This edge 26 is received and held captive in the lower edge 24 of the glass, for example by clipping.
Le bord supérieur horizontal 28 de la glace externe 16 est fixé de façon analogue à un bord avant horizontal profilé 30 de l'aile 7. Cependant, dans ce cas, c'est le bord avant profilé de l'aile qui a en section transversale une forme en U et qui retient prisonnier le bord horizontal supérieur profilé de la glace externe 16. Les bords de l'aile et de la glace externe fixés l'un à l'autre étendent au niveau de leur jonction sous le capot 6 qui les recouvre et les masque à la vue depuis l'extérieur du véhicule. Le bord supérieur de la glace externe 16 présente à cette fin un épaulement 18 que vient recouvrir le bord inférieur horizontal du capot.The horizontal upper edge 28 of the outer glass 16 is similarly fixed to a profiled horizontal front edge 30 of the wing 7. However, in this case, it is the profiled front edge of the wing which has in cross section a U-shaped shape that holds the profiled upper horizontal edge of the outer window 16 captive. The edges of the wing and the outer window attached to each other extend at their junction under the cover 6 which covers and hides them from view from outside the vehicle. To this end, the upper edge of the external glass 16 has a shoulder 18 which covers the horizontal lower edge of the cover.
Le véhicule comporte un joint 20 en matériau amortisseur de choc, tel qu'un élastomère interposé d'avant en arrière entre d'une part une face arrière du bord supérieur 28 de la glace externe et d'autre part une face avant d'un bord supérieur 32 du boîtier 8. Le joint 20 a une forme annulaire et s'étend tout autour de la glace externe 16 et du boîtier 8. En plus de la fonction d'amortissement des chocs, il assure une fonction d'étanchéité entre la glace externe 16 et la glace interne 12.The vehicle comprises a seal 20 made of shock absorbing material, such as an elastomer interposed from front to back between on the one hand a rear face of the upper edge 28 of the external glass and on the other hand a front face of a upper edge 32 of the housing 8. The seal 20 has an annular shape and extends all around the external glass 16 and the housing 8. In addition to the shock absorption function, it provides a sealing function between the external glass 16 and the internal glass 12.
Cet agencement apporte une grande souplesse à la façade avant lors d'un choc piéton ou d'un choc parking à basse vitesse directement sur la glace externe 16 du projecteur. En effet lors d'un choc sur la glace, la sollicitation est transmise directement non pas au châssis du véhicule mais aux pièces de carrosserie portant la glace, à savoir en l'espèce l'aile 7 et le bouclier 4. Or celles-ci présentent une capacité de déformation et d'absorption d'énergie relativement importante, notamment lorsqu'elles sont réalisées en matière plastique, comme c'est le cas en l'espèce. Les séquelles seront donc réduites en cas de choc piéton. De plus, sachant que la glace externe 16 est montée directement par rapport à ces deux pièces de carrosserie, il est facile d'obtenir un positionnement précis donnant une esthétique satisfaisante à la façade avant du véhicule. Sachant que le boîtier 10 du projecteur n'est pas directement relié à la glace externe 16, un choc à basse vitesse sur la glace ne risque généralement pas de modifier le positionnement des organes internes du projecteur et de nuire à la fonction du projecteur. De même, il y a peu de risque que le boîtier du projecteur et les organes qu'il renferme soient altérés par un choc contre la glace externe 16 de sorte que les coûts de réparation se trouvent réduits. Cet agencement permet de supprimer les jeux et affleurements inesthétiques entre les pièces de carrosserie et la glace externe.This arrangement brings great flexibility to the front panel during a pedestrian impact or a low-speed parking impact directly on the external glass 16 of the headlight. Indeed, during an impact on the ice, the stress is transmitted directly not to the chassis of the vehicle but to the bodywork parts carrying the glass, namely in this case the wing 7 and the shield 4. However, these have a relatively large capacity for deformation and absorption of energy, in particular when they are made of plastic, as is the case here. The consequences will therefore be reduced in the event of a pedestrian impact. In addition, knowing that the external glass 16 is mounted directly relative to these two body parts, it is easy to obtain a precise positioning giving a satisfactory aesthetic appearance to the front panel of the vehicle. Knowing that the housing 10 of the headlamp is not directly connected to the external lens 16, a low speed impact on the lens generally does not risk modifying the positioning of the internal members of the headlamp and impairing the function of the headlamp. Likewise, there is little risk that the projector housing and the members it contains will be damaged by an impact against the external glass 16 so that the repair costs are reduced. This arrangement makes it possible to eliminate the unsightly gaps and outcrops between the body parts and the external glass.
En l'espèce, les ailes et le bouclier avant sont en matière plastique. Il en est de même pour la glace externe 16 et la glace interne 12.In this case, the wings and the front shield are made of plastic. It is the same for the external glass 16 and the internal glass 12.
On remarquera que le montage clipsé de la glace externe 16 sur le bouclier 4 d'une part et l'aile 7 d'autre part permet en outre de rattraper les tolérances de fabrication lors de l'assemblage des pièces en vue d'une esthétique particulièrement satisfaisante. Bien entendu, on pourra apporter à l'invention de nombreuses modifications sans sortir du cadre de celle-ci.It will be noted that the clipped mounting of the external glass 16 on the shield 4 on the one hand and the wing 7 on the other hand also makes it possible to make up for the manufacturing tolerances during the assembly of the parts with a view to aesthetics. particularly satisfactory. Of course, many modifications can be made to the invention without departing from the scope thereof.
Le dispositif d'éclairage ou de signalisation pourra être ou pourra comprendre un feu de signalisation.The lighting or signaling device may be or may include a signaling light.
La glace externe pourra être fixée à une pièce de carrosserie seulement, ou au contraire à trois pièces de carrosserie ou plus. The external window may be fixed to one body part only, or on the contrary to three or more body parts.
