Description

Garnissage de pièce d'équipement intérieur de véhicule automobile et pièce d'équipement intérieur associé.  Fitting of a piece of interior equipment of a motor vehicle and associated piece of interior equipment.
La présente invention concerne un garnissage de pièce d'équipement intérieur de véhicule automobile, du type présentant une paroi intérieure destinée à être placée en regard d'un occupant du véhicule, le garnissage comprenant des moyens d'absorption d'énergie de choc disposés hors de la paroi intérieure.  The present invention relates to a lining of a piece of interior equipment of a motor vehicle, of the type having an interior wall intended to be placed facing an occupant of the vehicle, the lining comprising means for absorbing impact energy arranged outside. of the inner wall.
L'invention s'applique notamment aux garnissages intérieurs de portes de véhicules automobiles.  The invention applies in particular to the interior trim of doors of motor vehicles.
On connaît de US-B-3 989 275 un garnissage du type précité, comprenant une paroi intérieure placée en regard d'un occupant du véhicule et des nervures d'absorption d'énergie mécanique de choc délimitant des compartiments dirigés vers l'extérieur du véhicule.  US-B-3 989 275 discloses a lining of the aforementioned type, comprising an inner wall placed facing an occupant of the vehicle and ribs for absorbing mechanical impact energy delimiting compartments directed towards the outside of the vehicle.
Ces nervures sont destinées à diminuer le risque de blessure d'un occupant du véhicule lors d'un choc latéral contre le véhicule.  These ribs are intended to reduce the risk of injury to an occupant of the vehicle during a side impact against the vehicle.
Un tel garnissage ne donne pas entière satisfaction. En effet, les ner- vures d'absorption d'énergie de choc sont masquées derrière la paroi intérieure, et occupent dans la porte un volume important, qui n'est pas disponible pour ranger des objets.  Such a filling is not entirely satisfactory. In fact, the ribs for absorbing impact energy are hidden behind the interior wall, and occupy a large volume in the door, which is not available for storing objects.
Un but de l'invention est donc de fournir un garnissage de pièce d'équipement intérieur de véhicule automobile qui augmente le volume de ran- gement disponible, sans diminuer la sécurité en cas de choc, et sans augmenter l'encombrement de la pièce.  An object of the invention is therefore to provide a lining for a piece of interior equipment of a motor vehicle which increases the available storage volume, without reducing safety in the event of an impact, and without increasing the size of the part.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un garnissage du type précité, caractérisé en ce que les moyens d'absorption d'énergie de choc comprennent une boîte de rangement d'objets comportant :  To this end, the subject of the invention is a packing of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the means for absorbing impact energy comprise an object storage box comprising:
- un fond ; et  - a fund ; and
- une paroi périphérique déformable en cas de choc, la paroi périphérique reliant le fond à la paroi intérieure,  - a deformable peripheral wall in the event of impact, the peripheral wall connecting the bottom to the interior wall,
la paroi intérieure délimitant une ouverture d'accès à la boîte. the inner wall defining an access opening to the box.
Le garnissage selon l'invention peut comprendre l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prise(s) isolément ou suivant toutes combinaisons techniquement possibles :  The lining according to the invention may comprise one or more of the following characteristics, taken alone or in any technically possible combination:
- l'ouverture d'accès présente un contour fermé ; - l'ouverture d'accès est obturée au moins partiellement par un panneau mobile entre une position de libération de l'ouverture d'accès et une position d'obturation de l'ouverture d'accès ; - the access opening has a closed contour; - The access opening is closed at least partially by a movable panel between a position for releasing the access opening and a position for closing the access opening;
la paroi périphérique délimite une ligne périphérique d'affaiblissement ;  the peripheral wall defines a peripheral line of weakness;
- la ligne périphérique est formée par une marche ;  - the peripheral line is formed by a step;
- la boîte de rangement comprend une partie en saillie intérieure à partir du fond, espacée de la paroi périphérique ; et  - The storage box includes an inner projecting part from the bottom, spaced from the peripheral wall; and
- la partie en saillie s'étend en regard du panneau mobile.  - The projecting part extends opposite the movable panel.
L'invention a également pour objet une pièce d'équipement intérieur de véhicule automobile, du type comprenant une armature comportant un panneau intérieur et un panneau extérieur délimitant un volume interne, la paroi intérieure du garnissage étant fixée sur le panneau intérieur et la boîte étant disposée dans le volume interne.  The invention also relates to a piece of interior equipment of a motor vehicle, of the type comprising a frame comprising an interior panel and an exterior panel defining an internal volume, the interior wall of the lining being fixed to the interior panel and the box being arranged in the internal volume.
La pièce selon l'invention peut comprendre l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prise(s) isolément ou suivant toutes combinaisons techniquement possibles ;  The part according to the invention can comprise one or more of the following characteristics, taken in isolation or in any technically possible combination;
- le fond de la boîte est maintenu à l'écart du panneau extérieur en l'absence de choc ; et  - the bottom of the box is kept away from the exterior panel in the absence of impact; and
- le fond de la boîte est fixé sur le panneau extérieur.  - the bottom of the box is fixed on the outside panel.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple, et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels :  The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example, and made with reference to the appended drawings, in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective de côté d'une première porte de véhicule selon l'invention ;  - Figure 1 is a perspective side view of a first vehicle door according to the invention;
- la figure 2 est une vue simplifiée en coupe suivant le plan horizontal H-Il de la figure 1 , avant un choc latéral contre le véhicule ;  - Figure 2 is a simplified sectional view along the horizontal plane H-II of Figure 1, before a side impact against the vehicle;
- la figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 2, après un choc latéral contre le véhicule ;  - Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2, after a side impact against the vehicle;
- la figure 4 est une vue analogue à la figure 2 d'une deuxième porte selon l'invention ; et  - Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 of a second door according to the invention; and
- la figure 5 est une vue analogue à la figure 3 de la deuxième porte selon l'invention. Dans tout ce qui suit, les orientations sont les orientations habituelles d'un véhicule automobile. Ainsi, les termes « gauche », « droit », « supérieur »,- Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 3 of the second door according to the invention. In all that follows, the orientations are the usual orientations of a motor vehicle. So the terms "left", "right", "superior",
« inférieur », « extérieur », « intérieur », « avant », « arrière » s'entendent par rapport au sens normal de circulation du véhicule et à la position du conducteur dans le véhicule. "Lower", "exterior", "interior", "front", "rear" mean in relation to the normal direction of travel of the vehicle and the position of the driver in the vehicle.
Une première porte 10 selon l'invention est représentée sur les figures 1 à 3. De manière connue, cette porte 10 comprend un panneau extérieur 12, un panneau intérieur 14 et un garnissage intérieur 16 fixé sur le panneau intérieur et comprenant des moyens 18 d'absorption d'énergie mécanique de choc.  A first door 10 according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. In known manner, this door 10 comprises an exterior panel 12, an interior panel 14 and an interior lining 16 fixed to the interior panel and comprising means 18 d absorption of mechanical shock energy.
Le panneau extérieur 12 est par exemple réalisé à base de tôle et présente une forme bombée extérieurement.  The outer panel 12 is for example made from sheet metal and has an externally curved shape.
Le panneau intérieur 14 est également réalisé à base de tôle. Il est fixé sur sa périphérie au panneau extérieur 12 et délimite avec ce panneau 12 un volume interne 20 visible sur la figure 2.  The inner panel 14 is also made from sheet metal. It is fixed on its periphery to the outer panel 12 and defines with this panel 12 an internal volume 20 visible in FIG. 2.
Le panneau intérieur 14 délimite en outre une ouverture centrale 22 s'ouvrant dans l'habitacle du véhicule et débouchant dans le volume interne 20.  The interior panel 14 further delimits a central opening 22 opening into the passenger compartment of the vehicle and opening into the internal volume 20.
Le garnissage 16 comprend une paroi intérieure 24 fixée sur le panneau intérieur 14 et des accessoires 26 supportés par la paroi 24.  The lining 16 comprises an interior wall 24 fixed to the interior panel 14 and accessories 26 supported by the wall 24.
La paroi intérieure 24 est par exemple réalisée à base de matière plas- tique couverte par une peau d'aspect. Elle est rapportée sur une surface intérieure du panneau intérieur 14 autour de l'ouverture centrale 22, pour obturer cette ouverture.  The inner wall 24 is for example made from plastic material covered by an appearance skin. It is attached to an inner surface of the inner panel 14 around the central opening 22, to close this opening.
Les accessoires 26 comprennent dans cet exemple un accoudoir 28 et une poignée de manœuvre 30 qui font saillie intérieurement par rapport à la paroi intérieure 24.  The accessories 26 in this example include an armrest 28 and an operating handle 30 which protrude internally relative to the internal wall 24.
Selon l'invention, les moyens 18 d'absorption d'énergie mécanique de choc comprennent une boîte 32 de rangement, disposée dans le volume intérieur 20 et s'ouvrant dans la paroi intérieure 24.  According to the invention, the means 18 for absorbing mechanical impact energy comprise a storage box 32, disposed in the interior volume 20 and opening in the interior wall 24.
Comme illustré par la figure 2, la boîte 32 comprend un fond 34 sensi- blement vertical et situé dans le volume intérieur 20, une paroi périphérique 36 déformable en cas de choc, reliant le fond 34 à la paroi intérieure 24, une nervure d'appui 38, et un panneau d'obturation 40.  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the box 32 comprises a substantially vertical bottom 34 located in the interior volume 20, a peripheral wall 36 deformable in the event of impact, connecting the bottom 34 to the interior wall 24, a rib of support 38, and a closure panel 40.
La boîte 32 présente une section verticale sensiblement rectangulaire. Elle est disposée sous l'accoudoir 28, vers l'arrière de la porte 10, en regard de la hanche d'un occupant du véhicule lorsque celui-ci est assis dans un siège situé en regard de la porte 10. The box 32 has a substantially rectangular vertical section. It is arranged under the armrest 28, towards the rear of the door 10, facing the hip of an occupant of the vehicle when the latter is seated in a seat opposite door 10.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 2, le fond 34 est espacé transversalement du panneau extérieur 12, en l'absence de choc.  In the example shown in Figure 2, the bottom 34 is spaced transversely from the outer panel 12, in the absence of impact.
La paroi périphérique 36 présente un contour périphérique fermé de forme sensiblement rectangulaire. Elle délimite un volume intérieur 42 de rangement d'objets qui débouche dans l'habitacle du véhicule à travers une ouverture 44 d'accès à la boîte 32. L'ouverture 44 présente un contour fermé.  The peripheral wall 36 has a closed peripheral contour of substantially rectangular shape. It defines an interior volume 42 for storing objects which opens into the passenger compartment of the vehicle through an opening 44 for access to the box 32. The opening 44 has a closed contour.
La paroi périphérique 36 délimite, sensiblement à mi-distance entre l'ouverture d'accès 44 et le fond 34, une marche périphérique d'affaiblissement 46 s'étendant le long d'un contour de la paroi 36. Cette marche 46 forme une ligne d'affaiblissement qui permet la déformation transversale de la paroi périphérique 36.  The peripheral wall 36 delimits, substantially midway between the access opening 44 and the bottom 34, a peripheral weakening step 46 extending along a contour of the wall 36. This step 46 forms a line of weakness which allows the transverse deformation of the peripheral wall 36.
La nervure d'appui 38 s'étend verticalement entre une surface infé- heure 48 de support d'objets, située horizontalement sur la paroi périphérique 36 et une extrémité supérieure 50 espacée d'une surface supérieure 52 horizontale de la paroi périphérique 36.  The support rib 38 extends vertically between a lower object support surface 48, situated horizontally on the peripheral wall 36 and an upper end 50 spaced from an upper horizontal surface 52 of the peripheral wall 36.
La nervure d'appui 38 fait saillie transversalement vers l'intérieur du véhicule à partir du fond 34 sur sensiblement toute l'épaisseur du volume inté- rieur 42 entre le fond 34 et l'ouverture d'accès 44.  The support rib 38 projects transversely towards the interior of the vehicle from the bottom 34 over substantially the entire thickness of the interior volume 42 between the bottom 34 and the access opening 44.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur la figure 2, la paroi intérieure 24, la paroi périphérique 36, le fond 34 et la nervure 38 sont venus de matière.  In the example shown in Figure 2, the inner wall 24, the peripheral wall 36, the bottom 34 and the rib 38 are made of one piece.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 1 à 3, le panneau d'obturation 40 présente une section supérieure à celle de l'ouverture 44. Il est articulé sur la paroi intérieure 24 le long d'un axe vertical, pour être mobile entre une position d'obturation de l'ouverture 44, dans laquelle il est disposé sensiblement parallèlement à la paroi intérieure 24, et une position d'accès au volume intérieur 42, dans laquelle il est disposé à l'écart de l'ouverture 44.  In the example shown in Figures 1 to 3, the closure panel 40 has a section greater than that of the opening 44. It is articulated on the inner wall 24 along a vertical axis, to be movable between a position for closing the opening 44, in which it is disposed substantially parallel to the interior wall 24, and a position for accessing the interior volume 42, in which it is disposed away from the opening 44.
Le fonctionnement de la première porte 10 selon l'invention va mainte- nant être décrit.  The operation of the first door 10 according to the invention will now be described.
Lors d'une utilisation normale du véhicule, en l'absence de choc, la boîte de rangement 32 peut être utilisée pour stocker des objets dans le volume intérieur 42, en appui sur la surface inférieure 48. Lors d'un choc transversal contre le véhicule, l'occupant du véhicule est projeté contre le panneau d'obturation 40, ce qui déplace ce panneau 40 vers l'extérieur et applique une force sur la nervure 38. During normal use of the vehicle, in the absence of impact, the storage box 32 can be used to store objects in the interior volume 42, bearing on the lower surface 48. During a transverse impact against the vehicle, the occupant of the vehicle is thrown against the closure panel 40, which displaces this panel 40 towards the outside and applies a force to the rib 38.
La déformation de la nervure 38 permet d'expulser l'occupant de la zone du crash sans lui appliquer une forte décélération, puisque le fond 34 est situé à l'écart du panneau extérieur 12.  The deformation of the rib 38 makes it possible to expel the occupant from the crash zone without applying a strong deceleration to it, since the bottom 34 is located away from the outer panel 12.
Simultanément, le panneau extérieur 12 se déplace vers le panneau intérieur 14. L'épaisseur du volume intérieur 20 est ainsi diminuée jusqu'à ce que le panneau extérieur 12 appuie sur le fond 34 de la boîte 32.  Simultaneously, the exterior panel 12 moves towards the interior panel 14. The thickness of the interior volume 20 is thus reduced until the exterior panel 12 presses on the bottom 34 of the box 32.
La paroi périphérique 36 se déforme alors le long de la marche périphérique 46 par pliage autour de cette marche 46, ce qui absorbe une partie de l'énergie mécanique de choc.  The peripheral wall 36 then deforms along the peripheral step 46 by folding around this step 46, which absorbs part of the mechanical impact energy.
Lors d'un choc, la sécurité de l'occupant est ainsi assurée par les moyens d'absorption d'énergie 18 formés par la boîte 32, tout en permettant l'utilisation du volume occupé par ces moyens 18 comme espace de rangement During an impact, the safety of the occupant is thus ensured by the energy absorption means 18 formed by the box 32, while allowing the use of the volume occupied by these means 18 as storage space.
42, en l'absence de choc contre le véhicule. L'encombrement de la porte 10 n'augmente donc pas, alors que le volume de rangement disponible augmente. 42, in the absence of an impact against the vehicle. The size of the door 10 therefore does not increase, while the available storage volume increases.
Par ailleurs, la masse globale de la porte est réduite par l'absence de blocs de mousse dans le volume interne 20.  Furthermore, the overall mass of the door is reduced by the absence of foam blocks in the internal volume 20.
La deuxième porte 60 représentée sur les figures 4 et 5 diffère de la première porte 10 en ce que le fond 34 est fixé sur le panneau intérieur 12 en l'absence de choc. La boîte 32 est par ailleurs dépourvue de nervure d'appui 38.  The second door 60 shown in Figures 4 and 5 differs from the first door 10 in that the bottom 34 is fixed to the interior panel 12 in the absence of impact. The box 32 is also devoid of support rib 38.
Le fonctionnement de cette deuxième porte 60 en cas de choc est analogue au fonctionnement de la première porte 10. L'énergie mécanique de choc est absorbée lors du déplacement du panneau extérieur 12 vers le panneau extérieur 14 par déformation de la paroi périphérique 36 le long de la ligne d'affaiblissement 46.  The operation of this second door 60 in the event of an impact is analogous to the operation of the first door 10. The mechanical impact energy is absorbed during movement of the exterior panel 12 towards the exterior panel 14 by deformation of the peripheral wall 36 along of the weakening line 46.
