Description

ELEMENT DE CARROSSERIE DE VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE PERMETTANT DE LIMITER LE RECUL D'UNE AILE AVANT DU VEHICULE LORS D'UN CHOC A BASSE VITESSE DIT « CHOC REPARABILITE ». MOTOR VEHICLE BODY ELEMENT FOR LIMITING THE REAR OF A VEHICLE FRONT FENDER DURING A LOW SPEED SHOCK, LIKE REPAIR SHOCK.
La présente invention concerne un élément de carrosserie de véhicule automobile permettant de limiter le recul d'une aile avant du véhicule lors d'un choc à basse vitesse dit « choc réparabilité ». Elle concerne également un véhicule automobile, équipé d'au moins un tel élément de carrosserie.The present invention relates to a body of a motor vehicle body to limit the recoil of a front fender of the vehicle during a shock at low speed called "shock repairability". It also relates to a motor vehicle, equipped with at least one such bodywork element.
La conception d'un véhicule automobile doit aujourd'hui répondre à de nombreuses réglementations et doit subir des procédures d'essai, parmi lesquelles les essais de choc piéton et de choc à faible vitesse au niveau de la réparabilité.The design of a motor vehicle must now meet many regulations and must undergo test procedures, including pedestrian impact and low-speed shock tests at the level of repairability.
Le choc réparabilité avant consiste à estimer le coût des réparations sur le véhicule testé, lorsque ce dernier percute un mur rigide à faible vitesse de l'ordre de 16 Km/h. La conception du véhicule permet de réduire les coûts de réparation à basse vitesse en intégrant une zone spécialement destinée à absorber l'énergie cinétique. Cette zone est placée à l'avant du véhicule, et doit absorber l'énergie sous un effort limité. Cet effort limité correspond à la limite de ce que peut supporter le reste du véhicule sans provoquer d'endommagement .The front repairability shock consists in estimating the cost of repairs on the vehicle tested, when it hits a rigid wall at a low speed of the order of 16 Km / h. The design of the vehicle makes it possible to reduce the costs of repair at low speed. by integrating a zone specially designed to absorb the kinetic energy. This area is placed at the front of the vehicle, and must absorb energy under limited effort. This limited effort is the limit of what the rest of the vehicle can withstand without causing damage.
De façon classique, la liaison entre une aile avant d'un véhicule automobile et la doublure d'aile (panneau intérieur de l'aile) comporte cinq points de fixation. Toutefois, ces cinq points de fixation ne suffisent pas à contenir le recul de l'aile en choc réparabilité avant.Conventionally, the connection between a front wing of a motor vehicle and the wing liner (inner panel of the wing) has five attachment points. However, these five attachment points are not sufficient to contain the retreat of the wing in front repairability shock.
Trois des points de fixation de l'aile sont inefficaces pour la prestation choc réparabilité (pattes pliées en partie arrière de l'aile) et un autre est directement impacté pendant le choc. Le point de fixation constitué par la patte restante n'est pas suffisant pour éviter le recul de l'aile en choc réparabilité avant. On a déjà cherché à perfectionner les moyens de fixation d'une aile de véhicule automobile. A titre d'exemple, le document FR 2 784 955 décrit un dispositif de fixation d'une aile sur une structure de véhicule, qui comporte au moins une partie en extension ou saillie située sur l'aile ou sur la structure du véhicule. La partie en extension est destinée à être engagée dans un logement situé respectivement sur la structure du véhicule ou sur l'aile. La partie en extension et son logement sont pourvus de moyens d'accrochage complémentaires assurant le maintien de l'aile sur la structure. La partie en extension et/ou le corps du logement sont constitués d'un matériau fusible sous un effort d'intensité déterminé.Three of the wing attachment points are ineffective for the crash repairability benefit (folded legs at the rear of the wing) and one is directly impacted during impact. The point of attachment constituted by the remaining lug is not sufficient to prevent the recoil of the wing in front repairability shock. We have already sought to improve the attachment means of a motor vehicle wing. By way of example, the document FR 2 784 955 describes a device for attaching a wing to a vehicle structure, which comprises at least one portion in extension or projection located on the wing or on the structure of the vehicle. The extension portion is intended to be engaged in a housing located respectively on the vehicle structure or on the wing. The extension part and its housing are provided with complementary attachment means ensuring the maintenance of the wing on the structure. The extension part and / or the body of the housing consist of a fusible material under a determined intensity of effort.
Le but de la présente invention est de fournir un élément de carrosserie de véhicule automobile permettant de limiter le recul d'une aile avant du véhicule lors d'un choc réparabilité et d'apporter, ainsi, un gain de classe d'assurance pour le véhicule.The object of the present invention is to provide a motor vehicle bodywork element for limiting the recoil of a front fender of the vehicle during a repairable crash and thus to provide a class of insurance gain for the vehicle. vehicle.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de fournir un tel élément de carrosserie perfectionné, qui soit de conception simple, de réalisation et de montage aisés, qui soit fiable et économique, en particulier en permettant un gain économique sur les autres solutions techniques de fixation de l'aile du véhicule. Pour parvenir à ces buts, la présente invention a pour objet un élément de carrosserie de véhicule automobile permettant de limiter le recul d'une aile avant du véhicule lors d'un choc à basse vitesse dit « choc réparabilité », qui comprend une aile avant et une doublure d'aile correspondante à ladite aile avant, et ce nouvel élément de carrosserie comporte, de plus, un tirant reliant l'aile avant à la doublure d'aile correspondante.Another object of the present invention is to provide such an improved body element, which is of simple design, easy construction and assembly, which is reliable and economical, in particular by allowing an economical gain on the other technical fixing solutions. of the vehicle wing. To achieve these aims, the present invention relates to a motor vehicle body member for limiting the recoil of a front fender of the vehicle during a low-speed shock called "shock repairability", which comprises a front fender and a wing liner corresponding to said front wing, and this new body member further includes a tie connecting the front wing to the corresponding wing liner.
De préférence, le tirant est situé en avant de la doublure d'aile, juste derrière le renfort avant de côté d'habitacle.Preferably, the tie is located in front of the wing liner, just behind the cockpit side front reinforcement.
De préférence également, le tirant est situé dans un plan sensiblement horizontal, selon une direction sensiblement proche de la direction longitudinale du véhicule .Also preferably, the tie rod is located in a substantially horizontal plane, in a direction substantially close to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
Le tirant peut être, de préférence, une languette de tôle d'acier et présenter une section en forme de « U ». Le tirant peut être fixé sur la doublure d'aile correspondante par trois points de soudure électrique, ou bien par un rivet.The tie rod may preferably be a sheet steel tongue and have a U-shaped section. The tie rod can be attached to the corresponding wing liner by three electric welding points, or by a rivet.
Le tirant peut être avantageusement fixé à l'aile avant par un rivet. Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, le tirant peut être constitué par une zone renforcée du pare- boue du véhicule.The tie rod can be advantageously fixed to the front wing by a rivet. According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the tie rod may be constituted by a reinforced zone of the mudguard of the vehicle.
Ce renforcement peut être obtenu par une augmentation d'épaisseur du pare-boue dans la zone renforcée, ou bien par un surmoulage d'une pièce de tôle dans ladite zone renforcée .This reinforcement can be obtained by increasing the thickness of the mudguard in the reinforced zone, or by overmolding a piece of sheet metal in said reinforced zone.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention, le tirant peut être constitué par un câble.According to another embodiment of the invention, the tie rod may consist of a cable.
La présente invention a également pour objet un véhicule automobile, qui comporte au moins un élément de carrosserie conforme à celui décrit ci-dessus dans ses grandes lignes.The present invention also relates to a motor vehicle, which comprises at least one bodywork element according to that described above in outline.
D'autres buts, avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront dans la description qui suit d'exemples de réalisation de l'invention, non limitatifs de l'objet et de la portée de la présente demande de brevet, accompagnée de dessins dans lesquels :Other objects, advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments of the invention, which are not limiting to the object and scope of the present patent application, together with drawings in which :
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective, schématique, d'un exemple de réalisation d'un élément de carrosserie de véhicule automobile selon la présente invention,FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a motor vehicle body element according to the present invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue en perspective, schématique, de la zone de fixation sur l'aile avant du véhicule de l'élément de carrosserie de la figure 1, la figure 3 représente, de manière schématique, l'avant d'un véhicule automobile après un essai de choc réparabilité, les éléments de carrosserie étant des éléments connus de l'art antérieur, et la figure 4 représente, de manière schématique, l'avant d'un véhicule automobile après un essai de choc réparabilité, le véhicule étant équipé d'éléments de carrosserie conformes à la présente invention. En référence au dessin de la figure 1, on a représenté une aile avant de véhicule automobile, référencée 1, et la doublure d'aile avant correspondante, référencée 2.FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the attachment area on the front fender of the vehicle of the bodywork element of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of the front of a vehicle. motor vehicle after a repairability shock test, the bodywork elements being known elements of the prior art, and Figure 4 shows schematically the front of a motor vehicle after a crash repairability test, the vehicle being equipped with body elements according to the present invention. Referring to the drawing of Figure 1, there is shown a front wing of a motor vehicle, referenced 1, and the corresponding front wing lining, referenced 2.
Selon le principe de la présente invention, il est créé un point de fixation supplémentaire de l'aile avant 1 sur la doublure d'aile correspondante 2, qui s'ajoute aux points de fixation existants, classiques, non représentés, et rappelés précédemment.According to the principle of the present invention, there is created an additional attachment point of the front wing 1 on the corresponding wing liner 2, which is added to the existing conventional attachment points, not shown, and recalled previously.
En référence encore à la figure 1, le point supplémentaire de fixation est constitué par un tirant 3, qui relie fixement l'aile avant 1 à la doublure d'aile correspondante 2.Referring again to Figure 1, the additional point of attachment is constituted by a tie rod 3, which fixedly connects the front wing 1 to the corresponding wing liner 2.
De préférence, le tirant 3 est situé en avant de la doublure d'aile 2, juste derrière le renfort avant de côté d'habitacle du véhicule (non représenté) . Le tirant 3 présente la forme d'une languette d'acier, de section sensiblement en forme de « U ». Il est situé sensiblement dans un plan horizontal - ou plan en XY du véhicule -, selon une direction sensiblement proche de la direction longitudinale du véhicule, ou selon une direction sensiblement diagonale dans ce plan horizontal. De manière générale, l'axe d'implantation du tirant sera avantageusement positionné le plus possible selon la direction longitudinale (direction en « X ») du véhicule.Preferably, the tie rod 3 is located in front of the wing liner 2, just behind the vehicle cabin side front reinforcement (not shown). The tie rod 3 has the shape of a steel tongue, section substantially shaped "U". It is located substantially in a horizontal plane - or XY plane of the vehicle - in a direction substantially close to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, or in a substantially diagonal direction in this horizontal plane. In general, the axis of implantation of the tie rod is advantageously positioned as much as possible in the longitudinal direction ("X" direction) of the vehicle.
A titre d'exemple de réalisation, le tirant peut être constitué d'une languette d'environ 230 mm de longueur et de section transversale en « U » d'environ 20 mm de côté, obtenue à partir d'un feuillard d'acier de 1,8 mm, par exemple .By way of exemplary embodiment, the tie rod may consist of a tongue about 230 mm long and of "U" cross section of about 20 mm side, obtained from a steel strip 1.8 mm, for example.
Le tirant 3 est fixé sur la doublure d'aile par trois points de soudure électrique (PSE) , ou par un rivet, ou par tout moyen équivalent connu en soi, tel que des vis, des clips, etc. pouvant supporter un effort de l'ordre de 1000 N.The tie rod 3 is fixed to the wing liner by three electric welding points (EPS), or by a rivet, or by any equivalent means known per se, such as screws, clips, etc. can withstand an effort of the order of 1000 N.
Le tirant 3 est fixé à l'aile avant, de préférence par un rivet . Comme représenté sur la figure 2, une zone référencée Z est aménagée sur l'aile avant 1 pour fixer le tirant 3, et cette zone aménagée Z peut être configurée pour recevoir un rivet de fixation (non représenté), par exemple.The tie rod 3 is fixed to the front wing, preferably by a rivet. As shown in Figure 2, a zone Z referenced is arranged on the front wing 1 to attach the tie rod 3, and this arranged zone Z can be configured to receive a fastening rivet (not shown), for example.
En variante de la conformation en languette d'acier, le tirant peut être constitué par un câble reliant l'aile avant et la doublure d'aile dans la zone hors choc, le câble ayant un mode de sollicitation mécanique en traction comme le tirant en languette d'acier.As an alternative to the steel tongue conformation, the tie rod may be constituted by a cable connecting the front wing and the wing liner in the non-shock zone, the cable having a mechanical tensile biasing mode as the pulling in tongue of steel.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation de la présente invention, non représentée sur les dessins, le point supplémentaire de fixation de l'aile avant sur la doublure d'aile peut être constitué par une zone renforcée du pare- boue du véhicule.According to another embodiment of the present invention, not shown in the drawings, the additional point of attachment of the front wing on the wing liner may be constituted by a reinforced area of the vehicle mudguard.
Cette zone renforcée du pare-boue peut être obtenue par une augmentation d'épaisseur du pare-boue dans la zone. Elle peut, en variante, être obtenue par un surmoulage d'une pièce de tôle sur le pare-boue. Dans les deux cas, on réalise un pare-boue avec une partie plus rigide faisant fonction de tirant de liaison entre l'aile avant et la doublure d'aile, et par conséquent de point de fixation supplémentaire de l'aile avant sur la doublure d'aile correspondante .This reinforced area of the mudguard can be achieved by increasing the thickness of the mudguard in the area. It may, alternatively, be obtained by overmolding a piece of sheet metal on the mudguard. In both cases, there is provided a mudguard with a stiffer part acting as a tie rod between the front wing and the wing liner, and therefore additional attachment point of the front wing on the liner corresponding wing.
Les résultats obtenus par la mise en œuvre de l'invention sont illustrés par les dessins des figures 3 et 4.The results obtained by the implementation of the invention are illustrated by the drawings of FIGS. 3 and 4.
La figure 3 illustre le résultat d'un choc réparabilité sur un véhicule V non pourvu d'un élément de structure de carrosserie selon l'invention. La patte de fixation la plus avancée de l'aile avant 1, à savoir la patte de fixation de l'aile avec le pare-chocs avant 4, recule sous la force de réaction du mur M et du pare-chocs 4. Il en résulte un recul de l'aile avant 1 en partie inférieure de l'aile jusqu'à la partie arrière de l'aile 1. L'aile 1 vient alors impacter la porte 5 du véhicule.Figure 3 illustrates the result of a repairable shock on a vehicle V not provided with a body structure element according to the invention. The most advanced fastening tab of the front wing 1, namely the fastening tab of the wing with the front bumper 4, retreats under the reaction force of the wall M and the bumper 4. results in a retreat of the front wing 1 in part lower wing to the rear part of the wing 1. The wing 1 then impact the door 5 of the vehicle.
Comme représenté sur la figure 4, la présence d'un élément de structure de carrosserie conforme à celui décrit ci-dessus, c'est-à-dire sous la forme d'un tirant reliant fixement l'aile avant 1 à la doublure 2 correspondante, permet de diminuer considérablement l'effet de recul en partie inférieure de l'aile 1, qui dès lors, n'impacte plus la porte 5 du véhicule V, par conséquent on a réussi à supprimer une source de décote en réparabilité . Le recul de l'aile 1 est bien maîtrisé.As shown in FIG. 4, the presence of a body structure element conforming to that described above, that is to say in the form of a tie rod firmly connecting the front wing 1 to the lining 2 corresponding, can greatly reduce the recoil effect in the lower part of the wing 1, which therefore no longer impacts the door 5 of the vehicle V, therefore we managed to remove a source of haircut repairability. The retreat of wing 1 is well controlled.
La présente invention présente de nombreux avantages, parmi lesquels les avantages suivants : elle permet un gain de classe d'assurance en réparabilité, parce qu'elle permet d'éviter des retouches de peinture et des opérations de redressage de la porte du véhicule,The present invention has many advantages, among which the following advantages: it allows a class assurance insurance repairability, because it avoids touching paint and straightening operations of the vehicle door,
- elle constitue une solution simple de protection au choc, à la fois dans sa conception et dans sa réalisation, - elle permet un gain économique substantiel par rapport aux solutions techniques de l'art antérieur, comme par exemple les différents types d'absorbeurs réparabilité.it constitutes a simple solution of shock protection, both in its design and in its implementation, it allows a substantial economic gain compared to the technical solutions of the prior art, such as for example the different types of absorbers repairability .
Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés ci-dessus à titre d'exemples ; d'autres modes de réalisation peuvent être conçus par l'homme de métier sans sortir du cadre et de la portée de la présente invention. Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and represented above by way of examples; other embodiments may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and scope of the present invention.
