[0001 ] La présente invention concerne de manière générale un insert pour une planche de bord montée sur un véhicule automobile. La présente invention concerne, en outre, une planche de bord de véhicule automobile comprenant un insert, ainsi qu'un véhicule automobile comprenant un insert. L'invention concerne enfin un procédé pour monter un appareil électrique dans une planche de bord. The present invention relates generally to an insert for a dashboard mounted on a motor vehicle. The present invention further relates to a motor vehicle dashboard comprising an insert, and a motor vehicle comprising an insert. The invention finally relates to a method for mounting an electrical device in a dashboard.
[0002] Il est connu dans l'art antérieur des inserts de planche de bord servant au guidage et/ou au maintien d'un faisceau électrique nécessaire à la connexion d'un appareil électrique. En contrepartie, cet arrangement présente notamment l'inconvénient de nécessiter un insert pour le guidage du faisceau électrique ainsi qu'un deuxième insert pour assurer le support de l'appareil électrique à ladite planche de bord. It is known in the prior art dashboard inserts for guiding and / or maintaining an electrical harness necessary for the connection of an electrical device. In return, this arrangement has the particular disadvantage of requiring an insert for guiding the electrical harness and a second insert to provide the support of the electrical device to said dashboard.
[0003] Le document US20100259063 décrit un tel arrangement. Ceci complexifie l'assemblage d'un appareil électrique à une planche de bord, puisque plusieurs éléments sont requis. En outre, cet arrangement ne permet pas d'éviter de coincer le faisceau électrique entre l'appareil électrique et l'insert support ou bien d'autres éléments de planche de bord lors du montage de l'appareil électrique à la planche de bord. US20100259063 discloses such an arrangement. This complicates the assembly of an electrical appliance to a dashboard, since several elements are required. In addition, this arrangement does not prevent to trap the harness between the electrical device and the support insert or other dashboard elements when mounting the electrical device to the dashboard.
[0004] Un but de la présente invention est de répondre aux inconvénients du document de l'art antérieur mentionnés ci-dessus et en particulier, tout d'abord, de diminuer le nombre de pièces nécessaires à une planche de bord de véhicule automobile. Un deuxième but de la présente invention est d'éviter d'endommager un faisceau électrique par coincement, écrasement ou pincement, entre un élément de planche de bord et un appareil électrique à connecter, lors du montage de l'appareil électrique à ladite planche de bord. An object of the present invention is to meet the disadvantages of the document of the prior art mentioned above and in particular, firstly, to reduce the number of parts required for a dashboard of a motor vehicle. A second object of the present invention is to avoid damage to a wiring harness by jamming, crushing or pinching, between a dashboard element and an electrical device to be connected, when mounting the electrical device to said board of edge.
[0005] Pour cela un premier aspect de l'invention concerne un insert de planche de bord de véhicule automobile, agencé pour être monté sur une planche de bord et recevoir un appareil électrique connecté à un segment de faisceau électrique relié par exemple au réseau de bord du véhicule, l'insert comprenant une paroi, caractérisé en ce que ladite paroi comprend une inflexion agencée pour laisser un espace au segment de faisceau électrique entre une portion de ladite paroi et l'appareil électrique. En d'autres termes, la géométrie de la paroi de l'insert est adaptée pour laisser un logement à un segment de faisceau électrique entre ladite paroi et l'appareil électrique en définissant par exemple un pan de paroi incliné vers l'opposé de l'appareil électrique, une rainure ou un arrondi afin de loger le segment de faisceau électrique à proximité de l'appareil électrique auquel il est connecté. [0006] Un insert selon la présente invention permet donc à la fois de recevoir un appareil électrique dans une planche de bord de véhicule automobile, mais aussi un segment de faisceau électrique se connectant à l'appareil électrique. En outre, le segment de faisceau électrique peut glisser dans l'espace dégagé par l'inflexion de la paroi lors du montage de l'appareil électrique à la planche de bord et éviter ainsi d'être détérioré par son coincement entre l'insert et l'appareil électrique. For this a first aspect of the invention relates to a dashboard insert motor vehicle, arranged to be mounted on a dashboard and receive an electrical device connected to a segment of electrical harness connected for example to the vehicle edge network, the insert comprising a wall, characterized in that said wall comprises an inflection arranged to leave a space in the electric harness segment between a portion of said wall and the electrical apparatus. In other words, the geometry of the wall of the insert is adapted to leave a housing to an electric beam segment between said wall and the electrical appliance by defining for example a wall panel inclined towards the opposite side of the wall. electrical apparatus, a groove or rounded to house the harness segment near the electrical apparatus to which it is connected. An insert according to the present invention thus allows both to receive an electrical device in a dashboard of a motor vehicle, but also a beam segment connecting to the electrical device. In addition, the beam segment can slide in the space released by the inflection of the wall during assembly of the electrical device to the dashboard and thus avoid being damaged by its wedging between the insert and the electrical appliance.
[0007] Avantageusement, ladite inflexion sépare la paroi en une première portion agencée pour accueillir un appareil électrique et une deuxième portion ayant une pente plus progressive que ladite première portion et/ou décalée axialement vers le fond de la planche de bord par rapport à ladite première portion, de telle sorte à loger un segment de faisceau électrique. Une telle paroi est facile et peu coûteuse à fabriquer, par exemple par injection- moulage, et permet de dégager un espace permettant d'accueillir différents segments de faisceau électrique ayant des diamètres et/ou des rigidités différents. En outre, le glissement du segment de faisceau électrique le long de la paroi jusqu'à l'espace l'accueillant est facilité lors du montage de l'appareil électrique à la planche de bord. Advantageously, said inflection separates the wall into a first portion arranged to accommodate an electrical apparatus and a second portion having a slope more progressive than said first portion and / or axially offset towards the bottom of the dashboard relative to said first portion, so as to house an electrical harness segment. Such a wall is easy and inexpensive to manufacture, for example by injection molding, and allows to clear a space to accommodate different segments of electrical harness having diameters and / or different rigidities. In addition, the sliding of the electric beam segment along the wall to the accommodating space is facilitated during assembly of the electrical device to the dashboard.
[0008] Par exemple, l'insert est pourvu dans une ouverture de ladite planche de bord et ladite paroi est positionnée dans la partie inférieure de ladite ouverture. De façon préférée, l'appareil électrique est un combiné d'instrumentation. Alternativement, l'appareil électrique peut comprendre tout appareil électrique accueilli habituellement dans une planche de bord de véhicule automobile tel qu'un système de commande de ventilation, un système de commande d'installation audio-vidéo ou encore un écran multimédia. For example, the insert is provided in an opening of said dashboard and said wall is positioned in the lower part of said opening. Preferably, the electrical apparatus is an instrumentation handset. Alternatively, the electrical apparatus may comprise any electrical apparatus usually accommodated in a vehicle dashboard such as a ventilation control system, an audio-video installation control system or a multimedia screen.
[0009] De façon avantageuse, au moins une portion de la paroi, par exemple la deuxième portion de la paroi, est agencée entre une traverse de planche de bord et le segment de faisceau électrique. Cette configuration de l'insert permet d'éviter toute détérioration liée au contact entre le segment de faisceau électrique et la traverse de planche de bord. Advantageously, at least a portion of the wall, for example the second portion of the wall, is arranged between a dashboard cross member and the electric harness segment. This configuration of the insert avoids any deterioration related to the contact between the harness segment and the dashboard crossmember.
[0010] Un second aspect de l'invention est une planche de bord pour véhicule automobile, ladite planche de bord comprenant une ouverture apte à recevoir un appareil électrique, un segment de faisceau électrique pour connecter l'appareil électrique à un réseau de bord du véhicule, ainsi qu'un insert selon le premier aspect de l'invention. Une telle planche de bord permet de recevoir un appareil électrique sans risque de détérioration du segment de faisceau électrique s'y connectant, grâce à la géométrie de l'insert. De plus, une telle planche de bord ne comprend pas d'élément supplémentaire et n'est donc pas plus coûteuse qu'une planche de bord selon l'état de la technique. A second aspect of the invention is a dashboard for a motor vehicle, said dashboard comprising an aperture adapted to receive an electrical apparatus, an electric harness segment for connecting the electrical apparatus to an on-board electrical system. vehicle, and an insert according to the first aspect of the invention. Such a dashboard can receive an electrical device without risk of deterioration of the wiring harness segment connecting, thanks to the geometry of the insert. In addition, such a dashboard does not include additional element and is therefore no more expensive than a dashboard according to the state of the art.
[001 1 ] Avantageusement, ladite planche de bord comprend un appareil électrique, par exemple un combiné d'instrumentation. [001 1] Advantageously, said dashboard comprises an electrical device, for example a combined instrumentation.
[0012] Un troisième aspect de l'invention concerne un procédé de montage d'un appareil électrique à une planche de bord de véhicule automobile selon le deuxième aspect de l'invention, comprenant les étapes consistant à : A third aspect of the invention relates to a method of mounting an electrical apparatus to a motor vehicle dashboard according to the second aspect of the invention, comprising the steps of:
- assembler, c'est-à-dire fixer ou emboîter un insert selon le premier aspect de l'invention dans une ouverture de la planche de bord de véhicule automobile, assembling, that is to say fixing or fitting an insert according to the first aspect of the invention in an opening of the dashboard of a motor vehicle,
- positionner l'appareil électrique face à l'ouverture de ladite planche de bord,  - position the electrical apparatus facing the opening of said dashboard,
- connecter ledit appareil électrique à un faisceau électrique,  - connect said electrical apparatus to a harness,
- assembler définitivement l'appareil électrique dans l'ouverture de ladite planche de bord. [0013] Ce procédé permet d'effectuer un montage aisé d'un appareil électrique dans une planche de bord de véhicule automobile, puisque le segment de faisceau électrique à proximité de l'appareil électrique va se positionner naturellement dans l'espace de l'insert qui est destiné à l'accueillir. Ce procédé évite donc de détériorer le segment de faisceau électrique, par exemple par coincement entre l'insert et l'appareil électrique. [0014] Un dernier aspect de l'invention consiste en un véhicule automobile, comprenant une planche de bord selon le deuxième aspect de l'invention ou un insert de planche de bord selon le premier aspect de l'invention. Un tel véhicule est aisé à fabriquer, ne présente pas de surcoût lié à un élément additionnel et évite en outre d'éventuels problèmes électroniques en préservant le faisceau électrique de toute détérioration. - Permanently assemble the electrical device in the opening of said dashboard. This method makes it possible to easily mount an electrical device in a motor vehicle dashboard, since the segment electrical harness near the electrical device will be positioned naturally in the space of the insert that is intended to accommodate it. This method therefore avoids damaging the electric beam segment, for example by jamming between the insert and the electrical appliance. A final aspect of the invention consists of a motor vehicle, comprising a dashboard according to the second aspect of the invention or a dashboard insert according to the first aspect of the invention. Such a vehicle is easy to manufacture, does not have additional cost related to an additional element and also avoids possible electronic problems by preserving the harness of any deterioration.
[0015] D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention donné à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif et illustré par les dessins annexés, dans lesquels : - la figure 1 représente une vue de face d'une planche de bord de véhicule automobile équipée d'un insert de planche de bord selon la présente invention, Other features and advantages of the present invention will appear more clearly on reading the following detailed description of an embodiment of the invention given by way of non-limiting example and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which: - Figure 1 shows a front view of a dashboard of a motor vehicle equipped with a dashboard insert according to the present invention,
la figure 2 représente une vue latérale en coupe d'une planche de bord de véhicule automobile équipée d'un insert de planche de bord selon la présente invention lors du montage d'un combiné d'instrumentation.  2 shows a side sectional view of a dashboard of a motor vehicle equipped with a dashboard insert according to the present invention when mounting an instrumentation handset.
[0016] La figure 1 représente une planche de bord 10 comprenant une ouverture 1 1 partiellement fermée par un fond ajouré 12. L'ouverture 1 1 est destinée à accueillir un combiné d'instrumentation selon l'état de la technique (non visible sur la figure 1 ) et comprenant par exemple un compteur de vitesse, un compte-tours, la date et l'heure ou encore des informations de navigation. Figure 1 shows a dashboard 10 comprising an opening 1 1 partially closed by a perforated bottom 12. The opening 1 1 is intended to accommodate a combined instrumentation according to the state of the art (not visible on Figure 1) and including for example a speedometer, a tachometer, date and time or navigation information.
[0017] Un segment de faisceau électrique 30 est passé au travers de la cavité 1 1 et est pourvu avec un connecteur 31 adapté à connecter le combiné d'instrumentation au réseau de bord du véhicule automobile (non représenté). Ce segment de faisceau électrique 30 est une portion d'un faisceau électrique, conforme à l'état de la technique, prévu pour fournir au combiné d'instrumentation l'alimentation électrique nécessaire ainsi que les informations à afficher, comme la vitesse du véhicule ou le régime moteur. An electric harness segment 30 is passed through the cavity 1 1 and is provided with a connector 31 adapted to connect the instrumentation unit to the vehicle's onboard network (not shown). This electrical harness segment 30 is a portion of an electrical harness, according to the state of the art, intended to supply the instrumentation handset the necessary power supply and the information to display, such as vehicle speed or engine speed.
[0018] Un insert 40 selon la présente invention est monté sur la partie inférieure de l'ouverture 1 1 et comprend une paroi 41 fixée à la planche de bord 10 par des interfaces de fixation selon l'état de la technique. La paroi 41 est destinée à recevoir le combiné d'instrumentation et à permettre un emboîtement ou une fixation du combiné d'instrumentation dans l'ouverture 1 1 de la planche de bord 10. La paroi 41 comprend en outre une inflexion 42 qui sépare la paroi 41 en une première portion 41 a destinée à accueillir le combiné d'instrumentation et une deuxième portion 41 b qui présente une pente, par rapport à une surface horizontale, plus progressive que la pente de la première portion 41 a. Sur les figures 1 et 2, la première portion 41 a est située en dessous de la deuxième portion 41 b. An insert 40 according to the present invention is mounted on the lower part of the opening 1 1 and comprises a wall 41 fixed to the dashboard 10 by fixing interfaces according to the state of the art. The wall 41 is intended to receive the instrumentation handset and to allow an interlocking or a fixation of the instrumentation handset in the opening 1 1 of the dashboard 10. The wall 41 further comprises an inflection 42 which separates the wall 41 in a first portion 41a for receiving the instrumentation instrument and a second portion 41b which has a slope relative to a horizontal surface, more progressive than the slope of the first portion 41a. In Figures 1 and 2, the first portion 41a is located below the second portion 41b.
[0019] L'insert 40 est fabriqué en polymère ou composite rigide, tel que le polypropylène, le polyéthylène haute densité, le poly(téréphtalate d'éthylène) (PET) ou le poly(méthacrylate de méthyle) (PMMA), par toute technique adaptée et notamment l'injection-moulage. Alternativement ou en combinaison, l'insert 40 peut comprendre du métal tel que de l'aluminium ou de l'acier. The insert 40 is made of rigid polymer or composite, such as polypropylene, high density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), by any adapted technique and in particular injection-molding. Alternatively or in combination, the insert 40 may comprise metal such as aluminum or steel.
[0020] La figure 2 représente une vue latérale en coupe d'une planche de bord de véhicule automobile 10 équipée d'une traverse de planche de bord 60 et d'un insert 40 telle que représenté à la figure 1 , lors du montage d'un combiné d'instrumentation 50 selon la flèche visible à la figure 2. Figure 2 shows a side sectional view of a dashboard of a motor vehicle 10 equipped with a dashboard cross 60 and an insert 40 as shown in Figure 1, when mounting d an instrumentation unit 50 according to the arrow shown in FIG.
[0021 ] Ainsi, lors du montage en usine du combiné d'instrumentation 50 à la planche de bord 10, l'insert 40 est d'abord fixé ou emboîté dans la partie inférieure de l'ouverture 1 1 de la planche de bord 10. Le combiné d'instrumentation est ensuite connecté au segment de faisceau électrique 30 puis assemblé dans l'ouverture 1 1 de la planche de bord 10 sur l'insert 40. Le fond 51 du combiné d'instrumentation 50, à l'opposé de la paroi transparente 52 qui permet au conducteur de voir les informations de bord, vient donc en contact avec la première portion 41 a de la paroi 41 de l'insert 40. Ce faisant, le segment de faisceau électrique 30 est repoussé par le fond 51 vers la deuxième portion 41 b, comme visible sur la figure 2. Alternativement, le segment de faisceau électrique 30 peut venir en contact directement avec la deuxième portion 41 b et reste alors dans cette position visible à la figure 2. Thus, during factory assembly of the instrumentation combination 50 to the dashboard 10, the insert 40 is first fixed or nested in the lower part of the opening 1 1 of the dashboard 10 The instrumentation handset is then connected to the harness segment 30 and then assembled in the opening 1 1 of the dashboard 10 on the insert 40. The bottom 51 of the instrumentation handset 50, as opposed to the transparent wall 52 which allows the driver to see the edge information, therefore comes into contact with the first portion 41 of the wall 41 of the insert 40. In doing so, the electric harness segment 30 is pushed back by the bottom 51 to the second portion 41b, as visible in FIG. 2. Alternatively, the electric beam segment 30 can come into direct contact with the second portion 41b and then remains in this position visible in FIG.
[0022] Du fait de l'inflexion 42 de la paroi 41 , qui permet à la deuxième portion 41 b d'adopter une pente plus progressive que celle de la première portion 41 a, le segment de faisceau électrique n'est pas pris au piège et coincé entre le fond 51 du combiné d'instrumentation 50 et la paroi 41 de l'insert 40. Le risque de voir le segment de faisceau électrique 30 détérioré lors de l'opération de montage du combiné d'instrumentation 50 est donc écarté ou fortement diminué. Due to the inflection 42 of the wall 41, which allows the second portion 41b to adopt a more gradual slope than that of the first portion 41a, the electric harness segment is not taken at trapped and wedged between the bottom 51 of the instrumentation unit 50 and the wall 41 of the insert 40. The risk of seeing the harness segment 30 deteriorated during the mounting operation of the instrumentation unit 50 is therefore discarded or greatly decreased.
[0023] De plus, le segment de faisceau électrique 30 situé à proximité de l'appareil électrique, en particulier le long du fond 51 de l'appareil électrique, est logé sur la deuxième portion 41 b une fois que le véhicule est assemblé. Ce logement préserve donc le segment de faisceau électrique 30 de toute dégradation liée au contact entre le segment de faisceau électrique 30 et la traverse de planche de bord 60 ou avec d'autres éléments de la planche de bord 10, ceci à la fois durant le montage du combiné d'instrumentation 50 mais aussi durant l'utilisation du véhicule. La localisation de la deuxième portion 41 b de la paroi 41 , entre la traverse de planche de bord 60 et le fond 51 du combiné d'instrumentation 50, est ainsi particulièrement avantageuse. In addition, the electric harness segment 30 located near the electrical apparatus, in particular along the bottom 51 of the electrical apparatus, is housed on the second portion 41b once the vehicle is assembled. This housing thus preserves the electrical harness segment 30 from any degradation related to the contact between the electrical harness segment 30 and the dashboard cross member 60 or with other elements of the dashboard 10, both during the assembly of the instrumentation unit 50 but also during the use of the vehicle. The location of the second portion 41b of the wall 41, between the dashboard cross 60 and the bottom 51 of the instrumentation unit 50, is particularly advantageous.
[0024] Enfin, la paroi 41 de l'insert 40 permet d'accueillir le segment de faisceau électrique 30 avant le montage du combiné d'instrumentation 50 à la planche de bord 10, c'est-à-dire entre l'étape d'assemblage de l'insert 40 à la planche de bord 10 et l'étape de connexion du segment de faisceau électrique 30 au combiné d'instrumentation 50. Le segment de faisceau électrique 30 peut ainsi être posé sur la paroi 41 , en particulier sur la deuxième portion 41 b, et éviter de repasser à travers l'ouverture 1 1 de la planche de bord 10 et donc de tomber dans une zone du véhicule automobile difficilement accessible à l'opérateur de montage avant la connexion au combiné d'instrumentation 50. Finally, the wall 41 of the insert 40 can accommodate the electric harness segment 30 before mounting the instrumentation unit 50 to the dashboard 10, that is to say between the step assembly of the insert 40 to the dashboard 10 and the step of connecting the electric beam segment 30 to the instrumentation unit 50. The electric beam segment 30 can thus be placed on the wall 41, in particular on the second portion 41b, and avoid ironing through the opening 1 1 of the dashboard 10 and therefore fall into an area of the motor vehicle difficult to access the mounting operator before connecting to the instrument cluster 50.
[0025] On comprendra que diverses modifications et/ou améliorations évidentes pour l'homme du métier peuvent être apportées aux différents modes de réalisation de l'invention décrits dans la présente description sans sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications annexées. En particulier, il est fait référence à la forme de la paroi 41 et notamment de l'inflexion 42 qui peut comprendre tout angle approprié ou un ou plusieurs arrondis au lieu d'un ou plusieurs angles. De plus, la deuxième portion de la paroi 41 b peut être courbée et orientée vers le fond 51 du combiné d'instrumentation 50, de telle sorte à dégager une rainure ou un recoin pour accueillir le segment de faisceau électrique 30. Par ailleurs, la première portion 41 a de la paroi 41 peut adopter toute forme nécessaire à la fixation ou l'emboîtement du combiné d'instrumentation 50. Enfin, l'appareil électrique accueilli sur l'insert 40 n'est pas limité à un combiné d'instrumentation mais peut comprendre tout appareil électrique accueilli habituellement dans une planche de bord de véhicule automobile tel qu'un système de commande de ventilation, un système de commande d'installation audio-vidéo ou encore un écran multimédia. It will be understood that various modifications and / or improvements obvious to those skilled in the art can be made to the various embodiments of the invention described in this description without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the appended claims. In particular, reference is made to the shape of the wall 41 and in particular to the inflection 42 which can include any appropriate angle or one or more rounds instead of one or more angles. In addition, the second portion of the wall 41b can be bent and oriented towards the bottom 51 of the instrumentation unit 50, so as to release a groove or recess to accommodate the electric harness segment 30. In addition, the first portion 41a of the wall 41 may adopt any shape necessary for fixing or interlocking the instrumentation unit 50. Finally, the electrical apparatus accommodated on the insert 40 is not limited to a combined instrumentation but may include any electrical device usually hosted in a dashboard of a motor vehicle such as a ventilation control system, an audio-video installation control system or a multimedia screen.
