Description

Face avant pour véhicule automobile. Front side for a motor vehicle.
L'invention concerne une face avant pour véhicule automobile du type comportant au moins une traverse supérieure et des jambages .The invention relates to a front face for a motor vehicle of the type comprising at least one upper cross member and jambs.
Un module de face avant est un élément de structure susceptible d'intégrer divers équipements du véhicule, tels que projecteurs, clignotants, avertisseur sonore, échangeur thermique, groupe moto-ventilateur ou module de refroidissement complet, etc.A front-end module is a structural element capable of integrating various equipment of the vehicle, such as headlamps, turn signals, buzzer, heat exchanger, motor-fan unit or complete cooling module, etc.
Le module, ainsi pourvu de ses équipements, constitue un élément unitaire préparé et livré par l'équipementier, prêt à être monté sur le véhicule par le constructeur. Le montage de ce module unitaire se fait par1 raccordement à des éléments de structure latéraux du véhicule, tels que les longerons, ailes ou coques .The module, thus provided with its equipment, constitutes a unitary element prepared and delivered by the equipment manufacturer, ready to be mounted on the vehicle by the manufacturer. The assembly of this unitary module is made by 1 connection to lateral structural elements of the vehicle, such as longitudinal members, wings or hulls.
La face avant,, du fait de son positionnement, est l'élément de contact qui est sollicité lors d'un choc -frontal. Elle est notamment prévue pour absorber des chocs . Ces chocs sont généralement classés dans trois catégories utilisées dans les normes européennes .The front face, because of its positioning, is the contact element that is biased during a frontal shock. It is especially designed to absorb shocks. These shocks are generally classified into three categories used in European standards.
La première concerne les "chocs petite vitesse", centrés, décalés ou coin, dont la vitesse est comprise entre 2,5 et 4 km/h. La deuxième catégorie concerne les "chocs moyenne vitesse", dont la vitesse est d'environ 16 km/h. Enfin, la troisième catégorie concerne les "chocs grande vitesse", dont la vitesse est comprise entre 56 et 65 km/h. La variété de ces chocs amène les organismes gouvernementaux à mettre en place des réglementations de plus en plus strictes afin de protéger les conducteurs et leur environnement dans le cadre de ces chocs .The first concerns "low speed shocks", centered, offset or corner, whose speed is between 2.5 and 4 km / h. The second category concerns "medium speed shocks", whose speed is around 16 km / h. Finally, the third category concerns "high-speed shocks", whose speed is between 56 and 65 km / h. The variety of these shocks is causing government agencies to put in place increasingly stringent regulations to protect drivers and their environment in these shocks.
Il est déjà connu d'équiper les faces avant de véhicule automobile de pare-chocs destinés à absorber tout ou partie des chocs frontaux des véhicules pour protéger les passagers. Ces pare-chocs sont utilisés pour absorber les chocs avec des éléments extérieurs très variés, tels que d'autres véhicules, des murs ou des poteaux. Toutefois, les dispositifs de l'art antérieur ne proposent pas une protection optimale de la jambe et du reste du corps du piéton qui sont susceptibles d'être endommagés lors d'un "choc piéton". Un choc piéton désigne l'interaction entre la partie avant d'un véhicule et la jambe (qui inclut l'ensemble fémur-genou-tibia) d'un piéton qu'il percute ainsi que sa hanche ou sa tête lorsque c'est un enfant.It is already known to equip the front sides of a motor vehicle bumpers intended to absorb all or part of the frontal shocks of vehicles to protect passengers. These bumpers are used to absorb shocks with a wide variety of exterior elements, such as other vehicles, walls or poles. However, the devices of the prior art do not provide optimal protection of the leg and the rest of the body of the pedestrian who are likely to be damaged during a "pedestrian impact". Pedestrian impact refers to the interaction between the front end of a vehicle and the leg (which includes the femur-knee-shin joint) of a pedestrian that it hits as well as its hip or head when it is a child.
L'invention vise à améliorer la situation.The invention aims to improve the situation.
Elle propose à cet effet une face avant telle que définie précédemment dans laquelle la traverse supérieure et les jambages forment un logement pour un absorbeur de choc.It proposes for this purpose a front face as defined above in which the upper rail and legs form a housing for a shock absorber.
D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l' invention apparaîtront mieux à la lecture de la description à titre illustratif et non limitatif d'exemples issus des figures sur les dessins annexés dans lesquels :Other advantages and features of the invention will appear better on reading the description by way of illustration and without limitation of examples from the figures in the accompanying drawings in which:
La figure 1 représente une face avant selon l'art antérieure - La figure 2 représente une face avant selon l'invention comportant un logement pour un absorbeur de chocFIG. 1 represents a front face according to the prior art FIG. 2 represents a front face according to the invention comprising a housing for a shock absorber
La figure 3 représente une face avant selon l'invention comportant un logement pour un absorbeur de choc ainsi qu'un absorbeur de choc disposé dans ledit logementFIG. 3 represents a front face according to the invention comprising a housing for a shock absorber and a shock absorber disposed in said housing;
La figure 4 représente une face avant selon l'invention intégrant en plus un échangeur de chaleur comportant des excroissances.FIG. 4 represents a front face according to the invention further integrating a heat exchanger comprising excrescences.
On se réfère d'abord à la figure 1 qui représente une face i avant 10 de véhicule automobile telle que déjà connue. La face avant 10 comprend deux jambages 12 sensiblement verticaux disposés respectivement du côté droit et du côté gauche du véhicule. Ces deux jambages 12, encore appelés "montants" ou "quarts", sont réunis entre eux, dans l'exemple, par une traverse 16 sensiblement horizontale, prévue entre leurs extrémités supérieures.Referring first to Figure 1 which shows a front face i 10 of motor vehicle as already known. The front face 10 comprises two substantially vertical legs 12 disposed respectively on the right side and the left side of the vehicle. These two legs 12, also called "amounts" or "quarters", are joined together, in the example, by a substantially horizontal cross member 16 provided between their upper ends.
A partir de chaque montant 12 s'étend vers l'extérieur un bras 20 sensiblement horizontal, le bras 20 étant situé sensiblement à la même hauteur, voire légèrement plus haut, que la traverse intermédiaire 18. Les bras 20 et les montants 12 correspondants définissent un logement destiné à recevoir notamment une optique de phare (non représentée) .From each upright 12 extends outwardly a substantially horizontal arm 20, the arm 20 being located substantially at the same height, or even slightly higher, than the intermediate crosspiece 18. The arms 20 and the corresponding uprights 12 define a housing for receiving including a lighthouse optics (not shown).
La figure 2 représente une face avant 10 selon l'invention. Dans une face avant de ce type, la traverse supérieure 16 a été abaissée par rapport aux extrémités supérieures des jambages 12. Cette position de la traverse supérieure 16 permet de définir un logement 21 pour au moins un absorbeur de choc 22. Ainsi, l'absorbeur de choc est placé dans le logement, entre les deux jambages 12 et sur la traverse supérieure 16. En outre, il est possible de prévoir que le logement accueille un ou plusieurs absorbeurs de choc.FIG. 2 represents a front face 10 according to the invention. In a front face of this type, the upper cross member 16 has been lowered relative to the upper ends of the legs 12. This position of the upper cross member 16 defines a housing 21 for at least one shock absorber 22. Thus, the shock absorber is placed in the housing, between the two legs 12 and on the upper cross member 16. In addition, it is possible to provide that the housing accommodates one or more shock absorbers.
Un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention représenté à la figure 3 propose que l'absorbeur de choc 22 soit un équipement du véhicule automobile, en particulier un réservoir de liquide 24 et notamment le réservoir de liquide de lave- glace.A particular embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 3 proposes that the shock absorber 22 is an equipment of the motor vehicle, in particular a liquid reservoir 24 and in particular the washer fluid reservoir.
Avantageusement, le réservoir de liquide 24 comportera un organe supplémentaire 26. Lors d'un choc, le réservoir de liquide 24 et l'organe supplémentaire 26 coopèrent pour absorber l'énergie dégagée par le choc.Advantageously, the liquid reservoir 24 will comprise an additional member 26. During an impact, the liquid reservoir 24 and the additional member 26 cooperate to absorb the energy released by the shock.
Un mode de réalisation prévoit que l'organe supplémentaire 26 est une structure en mousse disposée sur la partie du réservoir de liquide 24 située proche du capot c'est-à-dire la- face supérieure du réservoir de liquide 24. Il est aussi possible d'utiliser une structure en plastique disposée sur la face supérieure du réservoir de liquide 24 à la place d'une structure en mousse. Un autre mode de réalisation propose que l'organe supplémentaire soit une série d'amorces situées sur une partie du réservoir de liquide. En cas de choc, les amorces vont se déchirer permettant ainsi au liquide contenu à l'intérieur du réservoir de s'échapper.One embodiment provides that the additional member 26 is a foam structure disposed on the portion of the liquid reservoir 24 located near the hood that is to say the upper surface of the liquid reservoir 24. It is also possible to use a plastic structure disposed on the upper face of the liquid reservoir 24 in place of a foam structure. Another embodiment provides that the additional member is a series of primers located on a portion of the liquid reservoir. In case of shock, the primers will tear allowing the liquid contained inside the tank to escape.
Dans d'autres modes de réalisation, l'absorbeur de choc 22 pourra être, par exemple, une structure en mousse ou en plastique. Dans d'autres variantes de réalisation, l'absorbeur de choc 22 pourra notamment présenter une structure cellulaire ou « en nid d'abeille », lamellaire ou encore tubulaire. Un mode de réalisation avantageux de la face avant 10 propose que la traverse supérieure 16 participe à l'absorption du choc en absorbant elle-même une partie de l'énergie libérée.In other embodiments, the shock absorber 22 may be, for example, a foam or plastic structure. In other embodiments, the shock absorber 22 may in particular have a cell structure or "honeycomb", lamellar or tubular. An advantageous embodiment of the front face 10 proposes that the upper cross member 16 participates in the absorption of the shock by absorbing part of the energy released.
La figure 3 ne représente qu'un seul absorbeur de choc 22 placé dans le logement 21 formé par la traverse supérieure 16 et la partie supérieure des jambages 12. Toutefois, il est envisageable de placer plusieurs absorbeurs de choc 22FIG. 3 represents only a single shock absorber 22 placed in the housing 21 formed by the upper cross member 16 and the upper part of the legs 12. However, it is conceivable to place a plurality of shock absorbers 22
• identiques ou non à différents endroits du logement 21 afin d'optimiser l'absorption de l'énergie libérée en cas de choc.• identical or not to different locations of the housing 21 to optimize the absorption of energy released in case of shock.
La figure 4 présente une face avant 10 telle que décrite à la figure 2 et 3. Cette face avant 10 comporte en outre au ' moins un échangeur de chaleur 28. L'échangeur de chaleur 28 peut être de forme rectangulaire ou présenter une' forme rectangulaire munie d'une ' ou plusieurs excroissances. Dans l'exemple représenté à la figure 3, l'échangeur de chaleur 28 est muni de deux excroissances 30 participant à l'échange de chaleur afin d'obtenir un contour en forme de « T » inversé. Avantageusement, la surface du logement 21 pour l' absorbeur de choc défini par la traverse supérieure 16 et la partie supérieure des jambages 12 est sensiblement égale à la surface de la ou des excroissances 30 de l'échangeur de chaleur. L'échangeur de chaleur 28 peut être par exemple un radiateur, un condenseur ou tout autre type d' échangeur de chaleur susceptible de se placer à l'avant du véhicule et notamment au niveau d'une face avant 10.Figure 4 presents a front face 10 as depicted in Figure 2 and 3. This front panel 10 further comprises at 'least one heat exchanger 28. The heat exchanger 28 may be rectangular or have a' form provided with a rectangular 'or more protuberances. In the example shown in Figure 3, the heat exchanger 28 is provided with two protrusions 30 participating in the heat exchange to obtain an inverted contour "T". Advantageously, the surface of the housing 21 for the shock absorber defined by the upper cross member 16 and the upper part of the legs 12 is substantially equal to the surface of the excrescence (s) 30 of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger 28 may be for example a radiator, a condenser or any other type of heat exchanger likely to be placed in front of the vehicle and in particular at a front face 10.
Une variante de réalisation propose que la face avant comporte plusieurs échangeurs de chaleur regroupés sous la forme d'un module d'échange' de chaleur. Le module d'échange de chaleur pourra comporter plusieurs échangeurs de chaleur d'un même type par exemple des radiateurs ou des condenseurs ou comporter des échangeurs de chaleur différents tels que, par exemple, un module d'échange de chaleur comportant un radiateur et un condenseur.An alternative embodiment proposes that the front face comprises a plurality of heat exchangers grouped in the form of a heat exchange module. The heat exchange module may comprise several heat exchangers of the same type, for example radiators or condensers, or comprise different heat exchangers such as, for example, a heat exchange module having a radiator and a condenser.
Une traverse inférieure 14 et une traverse intermédiaire 18 peuvent être disposées à des hauteurs ou niveaux différents entre les extrémités supérieures des deux jambages 12.A lower cross member 14 and an intermediate cross member 18 may be arranged at different heights or levels between the upper ends of the two legs 12.
Les composants précités, à savoir les deux montants 12, les traverses 14 à 18 et les bras 20 constituent avantageusement un ensemble monobloc obtenu par moulage d'une matière plastique appropriée suffisamment résistante. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, les composants précités seront des pièces séparées assemblées par l'intermédiaire de moyens de liaisons tels que, par exemple, des vis.The above-mentioned components, namely the two uprights 12, the crosspieces 14 to 18 and the arms 20 advantageously constitute a one-piece assembly obtained by molding a suitable strong enough plastic material. In another embodiment, the aforementioned components will be separate parts assembled by means of connection means such as, for example, screws.
Le support 10 peut être réalisé entièrement en matière plastique ou bien en une matière composite ou hybride du type métal/matière plastique.The support 10 may be made entirely of plastic or a composite or hybrid material of the metal / plastic type.
Les montants 12 et les traverses 14 à 18 ont le plus souvent une section transversale sensiblement en forme de U, dont 1 ' intérieur peut éventuellement être renforcé par des cloisonnements qui ont souvent la forme de croisillons.The uprights 12 and crosspieces 14 to 18 are most often of substantially U-shaped cross section, the interior of which may optionally be reinforced by partitions which are often in the form of crosspieces.
L'invention ne se limite pas à la description des exemples de réalisation illustrés ci-dessus à titre non limitatif, mais englobe l'ensemble des variantes que l'homme .du métier saura considérer à la lumière des revendications qui suivent. The invention is not limited to the description of the embodiments illustrated above in a non-limiting manner, but encompasses all the variants that the person skilled in the art will consider in the light of the following claims.
