Description

ELEMENT D'OUVRANT D UN VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE La présente invention concerne les éléments d'ouvrant pour véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to sash elements for a motor vehicle.
Elle concerne plus particulièrement les éléments d'ouvrant, monté sur la partie arrière d'un véhicule automobile autour d'un premier axe transversal entre une position fermée et une position ouverte sensiblement horizontale dans laquelle il s'étend au dessus d'un élément structurel du véhicule, notamment d'un bouclier, et. du type comportant une armature interne et un panneau extérieur qui s'étend au moins en paille en regard de la partie inférieure de l'armature.It relates more particularly to the opening elements, mounted on the rear part of a motor vehicle around a first transverse axis between a closed position and a substantially horizontal open position in which it extends above a structural element of the vehicle, in particular of a shield, and. of the type comprising an internal frame and an external panel which extends at least in straw facing the lower part of the frame.
Les éléments d'ouvrant de ce type permettent principalement d'obtenir une zone de chargement plane, formée par l'élément d'ouvrant dans le prolongement du plancher du véhicule. Or» le bouclier des véhicules automobiles qui est situé directement sous ce type d'élément d'ouvrant, et notamment les hayons, présente de plus en plus des formes galbées versThe opening elements of this type mainly allow to obtain a flat loading area, formed by the opening element in the extension of the vehicle floor. Or ” the shield of the motor vehicles which is located directly under this type of element of opening, and in particular the tailgates, presents more and more curved forms towards
F arrière du véhicule, que ce soit pour des raisons esthétiques ou de sécurité. Un problème de ce type d'élément d'ouvrant est donc que l'épaisseur de l'armature et la présence du bouclier ne permettent pas d'obtenir une continuité plane entre le plancher et la face interne de l'armature lorsque l'élément d'ouvrant est rabattu. D'une part, un angle est formé entre le plancher et la face interne de l'armature, ce qui rend ïe chargement du coffre moins aisé, et d'autre part, dans le cas d'un chargement lourd reposant sur l'élément d'ouvrant rabattu, le bouclier risque d'endommager le panneau extérieur de l'ouvrant soit un élément de carrosserie. Le document FR2782974 décrit et représente un hayon du type décrit ci dessus, dans lequel la partie inférieure du hayon est reliée au coffre par deux paires de bielles en col de cygne formant ainsi des parallélogrammes articulés. Une telle configuration pemiet notamment l'ouverture de la partie inférieure du hayon sans entrer en contact avec îe bouclier. Toutefois, ce type de mécanisme engendre une cinématique complexe et coûteuse, et l'ensemble dans un cas de chargement à plat en partie sur le hayon rabattu est peu solide.F rear of the vehicle, whether for aesthetic or safety reasons. A problem with this type of opening element is therefore that the thickness of the frame and the presence of the shield do not allow a flat continuity to be obtained between the floor and the internal face of the frame when the element sash is folded down. On the one hand, an angle is formed between the floor and the internal face of the frame, which makes loading the trunk less easy, and on the other hand, in the case of a heavy load resting on the element. sash folded down, the shield may damage the outer panel of the sash, which is a bodywork element. The document FR2782974 describes and represents a tailgate of the type described above, in which the lower part of the tailgate is connected to the boot by two pairs of swan neck connecting rods thus forming articulated parallelograms. Such a configuration allows in particular the opening of the lower part of the tailgate without coming into contact with the shield. However, this type of mechanism generates complex and costly kinematics, and the assembly in the case of flat loading partly on the folded tailgate is not very solid.
Afin de répondre aux objectifs présentés ci dessus, sans présenter les inconvénients de l'état de la technique,, l'invention propose un élément d'ouvrant du type décrit ci dessus, caractérisé en ce que le panneau extérieur est monté mobile par rapport à l'armature entre une première position normale d'habillage et une deuxième position dite déployée, de manière à dégager une partie de l'armature en regard du bouclier lorsque l'élément est en position ouverte sensiblement horizontale. Un tel élément d'ouvrant permet par exemple l'ouverture d'une partie inférieure de hayon dans une position qui permet un chargement à plat et qui n'entre pas en contact avec le bouclier.In order to meet the objectives presented above, without presenting the drawbacks of the state of the art, the invention proposes a sash element of the type described above, characterized in that the external panel is mounted movable relative to the armature between a first normal covering position and a second so-called deployed position, so as to release part of the armature opposite the shield when the element is in the substantially horizontal open position. Such an opening element allows, for example, the opening of a lower tailgate part in a position which allows flat loading and which does not come into contact with the shield.

Dans la description qui va suivre, il sera utilisé des références aux orientations longitudinales, verticales, et transversales selon le trièdre L»V,T traditionnellement utilisé en automobile et représenté sur les figures.In the description which follows, reference will be made to the longitudinal, vertical and transverse orientations according to the trihedron L " V, T traditionally used in motor vehicles and represented in the figures.
Tel que représenté à la figure 2, un élément d'ouvrant selon l'état de fart est composée d'une armature interne 8 et d'une panneau extérieur de carrosserie 9 qui repose sur l'armature 8. L'élément d'ouvrant est monté sur la caisse du véhicule autour d'un axe sensiblement transversal 10. Comme cela est représenté à la figure lb, l'armature 8 présente une épaisseur trop importante pour permettre la mise en position horizontale de l'élément d'ouvrant 4 sans que le panneau 9 touche la surface supérieure 61 du bouclierAs shown in Figure 2, a sash element according to the state of wax is composed of an internal frame 8 and an exterior body panel 9 which rests on the frame 8. The sash element is mounted on the vehicle body around a substantially transverse axis 10. As shown in FIG. 1b, the frame 8 has a thickness that is too great to allow the opening element 4 to be placed in horizontal position without that the panel 9 touches the upper surface 61 of the shield
6. ïî en résulte d'une part la formation d'un angle différent de 180° entre l'élément d'ouvrant 4 et le plancher du véhicule. La zone de chargement n'est donc pas plane. D'autre paît, un effort important exercé sur l'armature 8, lorsque l'élément d'ouvrant est rabattu et repose sur le bouclier, génère invariablement une défomiation du pamieau de carrosserie 9 au contact du bouclier 6 rigide.6. This results on the one hand in the formation of an angle different from 180 ° between the opening element 4 and the floor of the vehicle. The loading area is therefore not flat. On the other hand, a large force exerted on the frame 8, when the opening element is folded down and rests on the shield, invariably generates defomiation of the bodywork strut 9 in contact with the rigid shield 6.
Selon la présente invention, un élément d'ouvrant 4 est composé d'une armature interne 8 et d'un panneau extérieur 9 mobile. Il sera compris que ce panneau mobile 9 peut former l'intégralité de la carrosserie reposant sur l'armature interne 8, ou n'être qu'une partie de cette carrosserie, l'autre partie de la carrosserie restant fixe par rapport à l'armature interne 8. De même que dans Fétat de la technique représenté à la figure 2, l'épaisseur de l'élément d'ouvrantAccording to the present invention, a leaf element 4 is composed of an internal frame 8 and an external panel 9 movable. It will be understood that this movable panel 9 can form the entire bodywork resting on the internal frame 8, or be only a part of this bodywork, the other part of the bodywork remaining fixed relative to the internal frame 8. As in State of the art represented in FIG. 2, the thickness of the opening element
4, qui comporte l'armature 8 et le panneau de carrosserie 9, est supérieure à la distance entre la surface supérieure 61 du bouclier 6 et Taxe d'articulation 10 de l'élément d'ouvrant 4 sur le véhicule. Le panneau 9 est monté mobile par rapport à l'armature 8, entre une première position normale d'habillage ( ig. 3a) et une deuxième position dite déployée (fig, 3b) pour dégager un espace suffisant entre l'armature 8 et le bouclier 6. de manière à ce que la structure 8 de l'élément d'ouvrant 4 puisse venir s'étendre au dessus de, ou reposer sur, la surface supérieure 61 du bouclier 6 dans un plan sensiblement horizontal.4, which comprises the frame 8 and the body panel 9, is greater than the distance between the upper surface 61 of the shield 6 and the articulation tax 10 of the opening element 4 on the vehicle. The panel 9 is mounted movable relative to the frame 8, between a first normal covering position (ig. 3a) and a second so-called deployed position (fig, 3b) to release sufficient space between the frame 8 and the shield 6. so that the structure 8 of the opening element 4 can extend above, or rest on, the upper surface 61 of the shield 6 in a substantially horizontal plane.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'in ention, tel que représenté aux figures 3a et 3b, le panneau mobile 9 est monté coulissant sur l'armature interne 8. de manière à ce qu'il puisse réaliser un mouvement de translation rectiligne vers l'extrémité opposée à l'axe d'articulation 10 de l'élément d'ouvrant 4 sur la caisse du véhicule. Ce mouvement est obtenu à titre d'exemple par un coulissement du panneau mobile 9 le long de rails solidaires de la structure 8. Ce mouvement peut également obtenu par le coulissement de bielles qui sont solidaires du panneau mobile 9 et qui sont fixées sur la structure 8. Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, représenté aux figures 4a, 4b etAccording to a first embodiment of the in ention, as shown in Figures 3a and 3b, the movable panel 9 is slidably mounted on the internal frame 8. so that it can perform a rectilinear translational movement towards the end opposite the hinge axis 10 of the opening member 4 on the vehicle body. This movement is obtained by way of example by sliding the movable panel 9 along rails integral with the structure 8. This movement can also be obtained by sliding rods which are integral with the movable panel 9 and which are fixed to the structure 8. According to a second embodiment, shown in FIGS. 4a, 4b and
5, le pamieau mobile 9 est monté pivotant par rapport à l'armature interne 8 autour d'un axe de pivotement 12 qui est sensiblement parallèle au premier transversal 10 de l'élément d'ouvrant 4, Cet axe d'articulation 12 est situé dans la moitié supérieure du panneau mobile 9.5, the movable panel 9 is pivotally mounted relative to the internal frame 8 about a pivot axis 12 which is substantially parallel to the first transverse 10 of the opening element 4, This articulation axis 12 is located in the upper half of the movable panel 9.
Tel que décrit dans les figures 4a et 4b, dans une première variante de ce mode de réalisation, le panneau mobile 9 s'étend sur toute la surface interne de l'armature 8. Dans la position fermée de l'élément d'ouvrant 4, Je panneau mobile 9 sert d'élément de carrosserie. Dans la position sensiblement horizontale de l'élément d'ouvrant 4, le panneau mobile 9 est pivoté d'un angle suffisant pour permettre son passage en évitant de toucher le bouclier 6.As described in Figures 4a and 4b, in a first variant of this embodiment, the movable panel 9 extends over the entire internal surface of the frame 8. In the closed position of the opening element 4, the movable panel 9 serves as a body element. In the substantially horizontal position of the opening element 4, the movable panel 9 is pivoted by an angle sufficient to allow its passage while avoiding touching the shield 6.
5 Tel que décrit dans la figure 5, dans une seconde variante de ce mode de réalisation, le panneau mobile 9 s'étend sur la partie inférieure de l'armature 8. Dans la position fermée de l'élément d'ouvrant 4, le panneau mobile 9 sert d'élément de carrosserie, en complément des éléments de carrosserie recouvrant la partie supérieure de l'armature 8. Dans la position sensiblement5 As described in FIG. 5, in a second variant of this embodiment, the movable panel 9 extends over the lower part of the frame 8. In the closed position of the opening element 4, the movable panel 9 serves as a bodywork element, in addition to the bodywork elements covering the upper part of the frame 8. In the substantially
3.0 horizontale de l'élément d'ouvrant 4, le panneau mobile 9 est pivoté d'un angle sensiblement égal à 90° pour permettre son passage en évitant de toucher le bouclier 6, et pour être sensiblement vertical une fois le pivotement effectué, l] sera compris que dans le cas d'un panneau mobile 9 monté pivotant par rapport à l'armature 8, l'axe de pivotement 12 pourrait également être3.0 horizontal of the opening element 4, the movable panel 9 is pivoted by an angle substantially equal to 90 ° to allow its passage avoiding touching the shield 6, and to be substantially vertical once the pivoting has been carried out, l ] will be understood that in the case of a movable panel 9 mounted to pivot relative to the frame 8, the pivot axis 12 could also be
15 orienté verticalement sans sortir du contexte de l'invention. Cet axe de pivotement 12 serait alors situé indifféremment dans la moitié supérieure ou inférieure du panneau mobile 9.15 oriented vertically without departing from the context of the invention. This pivot axis 12 would then be located indifferently in the upper or lower half of the movable panel 9.
Selo les différents modes de réalisation, à savoir un panneau mobile 9 montée coulissant ou pivotant par rapport à l'armature 8, le mouvement généréAccording to the different embodiments, namely a movable panel 9 mounted sliding or pivoting relative to the frame 8, the movement generated
20 sur le panneau mobile 9 peut être réalisé manuellement ou par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'actionnement. A titre d'exemple, le pivotement ou le coulissement du panneau mobile 9 pourrait être réalisé par un moteur électrique simultanément au pivotement de l'armature 8 autour de son axe d'articulation 10, De même, suite à une action manuelle sur le panneau mobile20 on the movable panel 9 can be performed manually or by means of actuation means. By way of example, the pivoting or sliding of the movable panel 9 could be carried out by an electric motor simultaneously with the pivoting of the frame 8 around its articulation axis 10. Similarly, following manual action on the panel mobile
25 9, un dispositif mécanique du type engrenages ou cames pourrait générer le pivotement de l'armature 8. L'élément d'ouvrant 4 peut porter avantageusement des moyens de coulissement, non représentés, qui permettent à un élément de carrosserie, par exemple une lunette arrière, de s'escamoter entre l'armature 8 et le panneau 9 formant l'élément d'ouvrant 4. s Le moyen mobile 9 présente selon l'invention l'avantage principal de permettre une ouverture à plat de l'élément d'ouvrant 4, sans contrainte avec l'architecture du bouclier 6.25 9, a mechanical device of the gear or cam type could generate the pivoting of the armature 8. The opening element 4 can advantageously carry sliding means, not shown, which allow a body element, for example a rear window, to retract between the frame 8 and the panel 9 forming the element d 'opening 4. s The mobile means 9 has according to the invention the main advantage of allowing a flat opening of the opening element 4, without constraint with the architecture of the shield 6.
Bien entendu, la. présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés,Of course, the. the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown,
M) C'est ainsi par exemple que le panneau mobile 9 pourrait supporter divers fonctions et éléments du véhicule, comme par exemple une plaque rainéralogique et ses moyens d'éclairage associés. A ce titre, tel que représenté à la figure 5, la position sensiblement verticale du panneau mobile 9 après son pivotement permet de laisser visible la plaque rainéralogique même en cas deM) Thus, for example, the movable panel 9 could support various functions and elements of the vehicle, such as, for example, a rain plate and its associated lighting means. As such, as shown in FIG. 5, the substantially vertical position of the movable panel 9 after its pivoting makes it possible to leave the raineralogical plate visible even in the
