Description

VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE EQUIPE D’UN DISPOSITIF DE SIGNALISATION D’UN MODE DE ROULAGE DU VEHICULE  MOTOR VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A DEVICE FOR SIGNALING A VEHICLE TRUCKING MODE
La présente invention concerne un véhicule automobile équipé d’un dispositif de signalisation d’un mode de roulage du véhicule. The present invention relates to a motor vehicle equipped with a signaling device of a running mode of the vehicle.
Elle se rapporte plus particulièrement à un dispositif de signalisation disposé à l’intérieur d’un véhicule automobile et permettant son identification par une ou des personnes situées à l’extérieur dudit véhicule, dans un périmètre déterminé par rapport au véhicule.  It relates more particularly to a signaling device disposed inside a motor vehicle and allowing its identification by a person or persons located outside said vehicle, in a specific area relative to the vehicle.
Elle s’applique notamment à un véhicule automobile, équipé d’une chaîne de traction électrique ou d’une chaîne de traction hybride thermique/électrique fonctionnant en mode électrique pur.  It applies in particular to a motor vehicle, equipped with an electric power train or a hybrid thermal / electric traction chain operating in pure electric mode.
Du fait du durcissement de la réglementation en matière d’émissions polluantes, de plus en plus de villes restreignent, voire interdisent, l’accès à certains véhicules et notamment les véhicules les plus polluants sur des critères basés sur le niveau d’émission de gaz polluant du véhicule comme le C02. Due to the tightening of regulations on pollutant emissions, more and more cities are restricting or even banning access to certain vehicles, particularly the most polluting vehicles based on criteria based on the level of gas emissions. vehicle pollutant like C0 2 .
Pour pouvoir discriminer les véhicules les moins polluants qui seuls sont autorisés à circuler dans ces villes (ou centre-ville), les conducteurs sont tenus d’apposer une vignette ou macaron, sur le parebrise de leur véhicule précisant le niveau de pollution du véhicule.  In order to be able to discriminate between the least polluting vehicles which are only allowed to circulate in these cities (or downtown), drivers are required to affix a sticker or badge on the windshield of their vehicle specifying the pollution level of the vehicle.
Du fait du durcissement de la réglementation en termes de taux de CO2 et les amendes fixées par la commission européenne pour 2021 , le pourcentage des véhicules électriques ou hybrides va croître très fortement.  Due to the tightening of regulations in terms of CO2 levels and the fines set by the European Commission for 2021, the percentage of electric or hybrid vehicles will grow very strongly.
Il devient donc nécessaire voire indispensable pour les utilisateurs de ce type de véhicule et pour les forces de l’ordre veillant à l’application de la réglementation, de pouvoir identifier facilement et sans ambiguïté qu’un véhicule est autorisé ou non à circuler. Il est ainsi important que cette identification puisse être faite également de nuit ou à faible éclairement et à une distance suffisamment grande pour pouvoir réguler plus facilement le trafic. Il est connu notamment du document DE102010044383, un système d’avertissement, notamment lumineux, apte à prévenir les piétons que le véhicule roule dans un mode de roulage silencieux (ce qui est généralement le cas pour un véhicule roulant en mode « zéro émission). A cet effet, des LEDs sont disposées à l’arrière du rétroviseur intérieur de manière à diffuser un éclairage d’avertissement à destination des piétons se trouvant dans l’environnement proche du véhicule, à l’avant du véhicule, au travers du pare- brise. It therefore becomes necessary and even essential for users of this type of vehicle and for law enforcement agencies to be able to identify easily and unambiguously whether or not a vehicle is allowed to move. It is therefore important that this identification can be made also at night or at low illumination and at a distance large enough to regulate the traffic more easily. DE102010044383 is particularly known, a warning system, especially a light system, able to warn pedestrians that the vehicle is traveling in a silent driving mode (which is generally the case for a vehicle traveling in "zero emission" mode). For this purpose, LEDs are arranged at the rear of the rear view mirror so as to diffuse a warning light for pedestrians in the vicinity of the vehicle, at the front of the vehicle, through the rear window. breeze.
Avec un tel système, le conducteur ne voit pas forcément que son véhicule roule en mode électrique dans le cas notamment d’un véhicule équipé d’une chaîne de traction hybride combinant une motorisation électrique et une motorisation thermique. Il peut être averti par une information qui est affichée sur le combiné du véhicule ce qui l’oblige à détourner son attention de la route.  With such a system, the driver does not necessarily see that his vehicle is running in electric mode in the case in particular of a vehicle equipped with a hybrid power train combining an electric motor and a thermal engine. He can be warned by information that is displayed on the handset of the vehicle which forces him to divert his attention from the road.
D’autre part, ce système ne divulgue aucune information quant à la construction du faisceau lumineux ni en ce qui concerne la portée précise de l’éclairage d’avertissement (définie par la puissance d’éclairage et l’angle solide du rayonnement : azimut et site).  On the other hand, this system does not disclose any information regarding the construction of the light beam or the precise range of the warning light (defined by the lighting power and the solid angle of the radiation: azimuth and site).
La présente invention a notamment pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et de permettre en outre d’informer à la fois les personnes extérieures au véhicule et les passagers du véhicule à partir du même dispositif d’éclairage qui est intégré dans un équipement déjà existant dans le véhicule  The present invention is intended in particular to remedy these drawbacks and also to make it possible to inform both persons outside the vehicle and passengers of the vehicle from the same lighting device that is integrated into equipment already existing in the vehicle

L’invention a notamment pour avantage de diffuser une partie de l’éclairage dans le cockpit du véhicule à la manière d’un éclairage d’ambiance pour ne pas détourner l’attention du conducteur.  The invention has the particular advantage of diffusing a portion of the lighting in the cockpit of the vehicle in the manner of a mood lighting so as not to distract the driver.
La présente invention permet à la fois de projeter le faisceau lumineux dans deux directions différentes : à l’extérieur du véhicule et à l’intérieur du véhicule, à partir de la même source lumineuse.  The present invention allows both to project the light beam in two different directions: outside the vehicle and inside the vehicle, from the same light source.
Un tel système permet au véhicule de rouler librement en mode « zéro émission » dans les villes dans lesquelles une telle règlementation est adoptée en se passant d’autre part d’une vignette obligatoire et donc sans devoir arrêter le véhicule pour vérification par les forces de l’ordre ; ce qui permettra de fluidifier le trafic.  Such a system allows the vehicle to roll freely in "zero emission" mode in the cities in which such a regulation is adopted while passing on the other hand a mandatory sticker and therefore without having to stop the vehicle for verification by the forces of order; which will help to smooth the traffic.
D’autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée ci-après, d’un exemple de mise en œuvre non limitatif, faite en référence aux figures annexées dans lesquelles :  Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will appear on reading the detailed description below, of an example of non-limiting implementation, with reference to the appended figures in which:
- la figure 1 est une vue générale d’un véhicule selon l’invention, équipé d’un dispositif de signalisation d’un mode de roulage visible à une distance déterminée ; - la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d’un premier mode de réalisation d’un dispositif de signalisation équipant un véhicule selon l’invention ; et- Figure 1 is a general view of a vehicle according to the invention, equipped with a signaling device of a rolling mode visible at a determined distance; FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a signaling device equipping a vehicle according to the invention; and
- la figure 3 est une vue en perspective d’un deuxième mode de réalisation d’un dispositif de signalisation équipant un véhicule selon l’invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of a signaling device equipping a vehicle according to the invention.
La figure 1 représente un véhicule 1 vu de dessus équipé d’un dispositif de signalisation 2 disposé derrière le parebrise 3 du véhicule 1 , au voisinage du bord supérieur du parebrise 3 et donc de l’interface entre le parebrise 3 et le pavillon du véhicule 1 , et centré sur l’axe longitudinal XX‘ du véhicule.  1 shows a vehicle 1 seen from above equipped with a signaling device 2 disposed behind the windshield 3 of the vehicle 1, in the vicinity of the upper edge of the windshield 3 and therefore the interface between the windshield 3 and the roof of the vehicle 1, and centered on the longitudinal axis XX 'of the vehicle.
Pour avertir les forces de l’ordre 4, le dispositif de signalisation 2 émet un faisceau lumineux F1 vers des directions avant D1 du véhicule 1 au travers du pare-brise 3 avec une intensité permettant d’être visible à plusieurs mètres, typiquement 20 mètres (jusqu’à une cinquantaine de mètres), sans pour autant être éblouissante.  To warn the security forces 4, the signaling device 2 emits a light beam F1 towards the front directions D1 of the vehicle 1 through the windshield 3 with an intensity making it possible to be visible at several meters, typically 20 meters. (up to fifty meters), without being dazzling.
A cette distance, les forces de l’ordre 4 n’ont pas besoin de stopper le véhicule 1 qui arrive dans le champ de vision des forces de l’ordre 4 pour vérifier si le véhicule 1 remplit les conditions de roulage.  At this distance, the police forces 4 do not need to stop the vehicle 1 which arrives in the field of view of the police 4 to check if the vehicle 1 meets the conditions of driving.
La figure 2 illustre un premier mode de réalisation dans lequel, le dispositif de signalisation 20 est disposé dans le cache pied 23 du rétroviseur intérieur 24 qui supporte le rétroviseur intérieur 24 via une liaison de type rotule 25.  FIG. 2 illustrates a first embodiment in which the signaling device 20 is arranged in the foot cover 23 of the inside rearview mirror 24 which supports the inside rearview mirror 24 via a ball-type connection 25.
Le cache pied 23 du rétroviseur intérieur 24 définit un boîtier 26 qui appartient à une embase 27 qui est généralement collée par sa face supérieure 28, à l’intérieur du parebrise 3 (non représenté sur cette figure) The foot cover 23 of the rearview mirror 24 defines a housing 26 which belongs to a base 27 which is generally bonded by its upper face 28, inside the windshield 3 (not shown in this figure)
L’embase 27 contient déjà un ensemble de composants et de capteurs : capteur de pluie, luminosité, caméra multifonctions ... avec leur faisceaux électriques et connectiques associés (non représentés) exploitant un type de connexion multiplexée. The base 27 already contains a set of components and sensors: rain sensor, brightness, multifunction camera ... with their electrical harnesses and associated connectors (not shown) using a type of multiplexed connection.
La face frontale 29 de l’embase 27 qui est regard du parebrise, présente deux profils 30 et 31 successifs présentant respectivement des angles se réduisant par rapport à la face supérieure de l’embase 27. Ainsi, le premier profil 30 (partie supérieure de de la face frontale 29) qui démarre de la face supérieure 28 de l’embase 27, se présente en regard du parebrise et le deuxième profil 31 (partie inférieure de de la face frontale 29) qui prolonge le premier profil 30, se présente en regard de la planche de bord (non représentée) du véhicule 1. The front face 29 of the base 27 which is facing the windshield, has two successive profiles 30 and 31 respectively having angles reducing with respect to the upper face of the base 27. Thus, the first profile 30 (upper part of the end face 29) which starts from the upper face 28 of the base 27, is opposite the windshield and the second profile 31 (lower part of the front face 29). which extends the first profile 30, is opposite the dashboard (not shown) of the vehicle 1.
Des ouvertures 32 et 33 sont aménagées sur la face frontale 29 de l’embase 27. Elles se présentent sous la forme de fentes rectangulaires, adjacentes entre elles par leur grande dimension et qui sont, dans l’exemple décrit, agencées sur deux colonnes de fentes réparties symétriquement de part et d’autre du plan de symétrie de l’embase 27.  Openings 32 and 33 are arranged on the front face 29 of the base 27. They are in the form of rectangular slots, adjacent to each other by their large size and which are, in the example described, arranged on two columns of slots symmetrically distributed on either side of the plane of symmetry of the base 27.
Ces ouvertures 32 et 33 permettent d’assurer un passage d’air dans l’embase 27 et donc le refroidissement des composants et des capteurs supportés par l’embase 27.  These openings 32 and 33 make it possible to ensure an air passage in the base 27 and thus the cooling of the components and the sensors supported by the base 27.
Le dispositif de signalisation 20 est avantageusement intégré dans le boitier 23 de l’embase 27 d’un cache de pied de rétroviseur selon l’invention. Le dispositif de signalisation 20 comporte un bloc optique (non représenté) comportant une ou plusieurs sources de lumière comportant par exemple une ou plusieurs LEDs associées à des éléments optiques (guides de lumière, lentilles, ...) ainsi que l’électronique de commande des LEDs, faisceau et connectique associés.  The signaling device 20 is advantageously integrated in the housing 23 of the base 27 of a mirror foot cover according to the invention. The signaling device 20 comprises an optical block (not shown) comprising one or more light sources comprising, for example, one or more LEDs associated with optical elements (light guides, lenses, etc.) as well as the control electronics. LEDs, beam and connectivity associated.
Des premières ouvertures 32, aménagées dans la partie supérieure 30 de la face frontale 29, sont conformées et dimensionnées pour couvrir l’ouverture d’un premier faisceau F1 , en site et en azimut, selon les premières directions D1 et des deuxièmes ouvertures 32, aménagées dans la partie inférieure 31 de la face frontale 29, sont conformées et dimensionnées pour couvrir l’ouverture d’un deuxième faisceau F2, en site et en azimut selon des deuxièmes directions D2 différentes des premières directions D1.  First openings 32, arranged in the upper part 30 of the front face 29, are shaped and sized to cover the opening of a first beam F1, in elevation and in azimuth, along the first directions D1 and second openings 32, arranged in the lower portion 31 of the front face 29, are shaped and sized to cover the opening of a second beam F2, in elevation and in azimuth according to second directions D2 different from the first directions D1.
Chacune des ouvertures 32 et 33 est conformée pour définir un rayonnement de lumière suivant un cône élémentaire d’angle solide déterminé et la somme des cônes élémentaires générés respectivement pas les pluralités de première et deuxième ouvertures 32 et 33 définissent respectivement l’ouverture globale du premier faisceau lumineux F1 et du deuxième faisceau lumineux F2 avec un angle solide déterminé. Each of the apertures 32 and 33 is shaped to define light radiation along a determined solid angle elementary cone and the sum of the elementary cones generated respectively not the pluralities of first and second apertures 32 and 33 respectively define the global aperture of the first light beam F1 and the second light beam F2 with a determined solid angle.
La couverture du premier faisceau F1 est définie pour répondre à la visibilité du véhicule 1 à au moins 20 mètres pour les forces de l’ordre tel que décrit en référence à la figure 1 , et la couverture du deuxième faisceau F2 est définie pour éclairer une zone de l’habitacle qui est au moins visible du conducteur sans détourner son attention de la conduite, par exemple une zone située sur la face supérieure de la planche de bord 3 du véhicule 1 entre le parebrise et le volant de direction.  The coverage of the first beam F1 is defined to respond to the visibility of the vehicle 1 at least 20 meters for the police as described with reference to Figure 1, and the coverage of the second beam F2 is defined to illuminate a cockpit area which is at least visible from the driver without diverting his attention from the pipe, for example an area on the upper face of the dashboard 3 of the vehicle 1 between the windshield and the steering wheel.
L’intensité de l’éclairage du deuxième faisceau F2 est par ailleurs commandée pour ne pas éblouir le conducteur.  The intensity of the illumination of the second beam F2 is also controlled so as not to dazzle the driver.
Par ailleurs, la ou les sources lumineuses, à l’origine de l’éclairage de la planche de bord (deuxième faisceau F2) ne sont pas directement visibles par le conducteur du véhicule, ce qui évite au conducteur de détourner son attention de la conduite.  Moreover, the light source (s) at the origin of the lighting of the dashboard (second beam F2) are not directly visible to the driver of the vehicle, which prevents the driver from diverting his attention from driving. .
Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation, illustré à la figure 2, le dispositif de signalisation 40, comprenant également un bloc optique et une ou plusieurs sources de lumière (une ou plusieurs LEDs), est avantageusement disposé dans le boîtier 41 du rétroviseur intérieur 42 du véhicule 1.  In a second embodiment, illustrated in FIG. 2, the signaling device 40, also comprising an optical block and one or more light sources (one or more LEDs), is advantageously arranged in the housing 41 of the interior rear view mirror 42. vehicle 1.
Le boîtier d’un rétroviseur intérieur est généralement formé d’un corps creux supportant un miroir et/ou un écran d’affichage permettant une rétrovision numérique. La plupart des rétroviseurs sont par ailleurs équipés d’une fonction électrochromatique qui permet de passer automatiquement d’une rétrovision diurne à une rétrovision nocturne. Cette fonction est activée soit par la commande d’activation manuelle ou automatique des feux soit par un capteur de luminosité extérieure.  The housing of an interior rearview mirror is generally formed of a hollow body supporting a mirror and / or a display screen for digital retrovision. Most of the mirrors are also equipped with an electrochromatic function that automatically switches from daytime retrovision to night retrovision. This function is activated either by the manual or automatic activation of the lights or by an external light sensor.
Le boîtier de rétroviseur embarque donc déjà un dispositif électronique avec faisceau et connectique associés qui peuvent être partagés avec le dispositif de signalisation pour son alimentation électrique et ses signaux de commande notamment. Le rétroviseur intérieur 42 selon l’invention comporte en outre une barrette 43 qui fait saillie de la face inférieure du boîtier 41 du rétroviseur 42. The mirror housing therefore already embeds an electronic device with associated harness and connectors that can be shared with the signaling device for its power supply and its control signals in particular. The interior rearview mirror 42 according to the invention further comprises a bar 43 which protrudes from the lower face of the housing 41 of the rearview mirror 42.
Cette barrette 43 comporte une première ouverture 44 s’étendant dans un plan perpendiculaire au plan de symétrie du rétroviseur 42, orientée vers l’avant du véhicule 1 , et une deuxième ouverture 45 s’étendant dans un deuxième plan perpendiculaire au premier, en regard de la planche de bord du véhicule 1.  This bar 43 has a first opening 44 extending in a plane perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of the mirror 42, facing the front of the vehicle 1, and a second opening 45 extending in a second plane perpendicular to the first, facing of the vehicle dashboard 1.
Dans le mode de réalisation décrit, les deux ouvertures 44 et 45 sont de forme générale rectangulaire et elles communiquent entre elles par une de leurs grandes dimensions en définissant une arrête saillante.  In the embodiment described, the two openings 44 and 45 are of generally rectangular shape and they communicate with one another by one of their large dimensions by defining a protruding ridge.
Les première et deuxième ouvertures 44 et 45 sont fermées par un cache transparent pour laisser passer respectivement les premier et deuxième faisceaux lumineux F1 et F2.  The first and second openings 44 and 45 are closed by a transparent cover for passing respectively the first and second light beams F1 and F2.
Le bloc optique pour créer les deux faisceaux lumineux F1 et F2, non représenté, relève d’une construction optique classique via un réflecteur dans lequel sont positionnées des LEDs. Ce réflecteur dispose par exemple de deux zones : la première zone permet de diffuser le premier faisceau lumineux F1 vers l’avant et la seconde zone, vers le bas pour diffuser le deuxième faisceau lumineux F2 pour l’éclairage d’ambiance. L’adjonction d’un écran opalin permet d’homogénéiser l’aspect.  The optical unit for creating the two light beams F1 and F2, not shown, is a conventional optical construction via a reflector in which LEDs are positioned. This reflector has, for example, two zones: the first zone makes it possible to diffuse the first light beam F1 towards the front and the second zone downwards in order to diffuse the second light beam F2 for the ambient lighting. The addition of an opal screen makes it possible to homogenize the appearance.
Le bloc optique peut également utiliser un guide de lumière optique comportant des stries faisant office de réseau de diffraction et qui sont agencées pour créer à la fois une sortie de lumière suivant l’axe horizontal (sensiblement parallèle à l’axe longitudinal XX’ du véhicule 1 ) et vertical (sensiblement perpendiculaire à l’axe longitudinal XX’ du véhicule 1 ).  The optical unit may also use an optical light guide having diffraction grating streaks and which are arranged to create both a light output along the horizontal axis (substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis XX 'of the vehicle 1) and vertical (substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis XX 'of the vehicle 1).
De manière avantageuse, la première ouverture 44 présente un profil extérieur galbé propice à l’étalement en site du premier faisceau lumineux F1.  Advantageously, the first opening 44 has a curved outer profile conducive to the spreading in site of the first light beam F1.
L’intégration du dispositif de signalisation 20 dans le cache pied 23 de rétroviseur intérieur 24 ou dans le rétroviseur intérieur 42, permet d’atteindre le but recherché par la présente invention, à savoir : projeter de la lumière dans plusieurs directions à la fois permettant ainsi de signaler au conducteur et aux forces de l’ordre, un roulage en mode « zéro émission ». The integration of the signaling device 20 in the foot cover 23 of the interior rearview mirror 24 or in the interior rearview mirror 42 makes it possible to achieve the object sought by the present invention, namely to project light into Several directions at a time thus making it possible to signal to the driver and the police, a taxi in "zero emission" mode.
Dans le cas d’un véhicule à chaîne de traction hybride, le véhicule n’active le dispositif de signalisation que lorsqu’il détecte que le mode de roulage « zéro émission » est activé (mode électrique pur) grâce aux différents calculateurs embarqués dans le véhicule comme le calculateur de la gestion électrique du véhicule (pour allumage ou non) et pilote l’intensité, la couleur, ... notamment grâce aux informations issues du calculateur d’allumage automatique des feux, du calculateur central d’habitacle, du calculateur d’éclairage intérieur, ...  In the case of a hybrid traction vehicle, the vehicle activates the signaling device only when it detects that the "zero emission" driving mode is activated (pure electric mode) thanks to the various computers on board the vehicle as the computer of the electrical management of the vehicle (for ignition or not) and pilot the intensity, the color, ... thanks to the information from the calculator of automatic ignition of the lights, the central calculator cabin, the interior lighting calculator, ...
Afin de renforcer la distinction entre le signal lumineux émis par le dispositif de signalisation « zéro émission » et les autres signaux lumineux connus (éclairage et signalisation véhicule), le spectre d’émission du signal lumineux émis est choisi dans des spectres d’émission différents des autres signaux lumineux connus.  In order to reinforce the distinction between the light signal emitted by the "zero emission" signaling device and the other known light signals (vehicle lighting and signaling), the emission spectrum of the emitted light signal is chosen in different emission spectra. other known light signals.
Par exemple, la ou les sources de lumière peuvent émettre dans des fréquences proches de celles du vert ou du violet (Cyan). En effet, les signaux classiquement émis par le véhicule se situent plutôt dans le rouge, l’orange, le jaune et le blanc.  For example, the light source (s) may emit in frequencies close to those of green or purple (Cyan). Indeed, the signals conventionally emitted by the vehicle are located in the red, orange, yellow and white.
Le dispositif de signalisation doit pouvoir fonctionner de jour comme de nuit. Pour ce faire, l’intensité lumineuse du faisceau généré par la ou les sources de lumière, est commandée pour varier en fonction de la luminosité ambiante mesurée par exemple par un capteur de luminosité extérieur ou en fonction de l’activation des feux : de jour, l’intensité lumineuse étant choisie plus importante que de nuit.  The signaling device must be able to operate both day and night. To do this, the light intensity of the beam generated by the light source (s) is controlled to vary according to the ambient brightness measured for example by an outdoor light sensor or depending on the activation of the lights: daylight , the luminous intensity being chosen more important than at night.
Dans les deux modes de réalisation illustré sur la figures 2 et 3, le dispositif de signalisation est commandé par un organe de contrôle (non représenté), lui-même relié aux capteurs de luminosité extérieur et intérieur ou à des moyens d’activation automatique ou manuelle des feux du véhicule. L’organe de contrôle peut être relié à un organe de gestion de la chaîne de traction hybride quand le véhicule est un véhicule hybride ; ledit organe de gestion transmettant au dit organe de contrôle les informations nécessaires au déclenchement ou non du dispositif de signalisation. In both embodiments illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, the signaling device is controlled by a control member (not shown), itself connected to the external and internal luminosity sensors or automatic activation means or manual vehicle lights. The control member can be connected to a management member of the hybrid power train when the vehicle is a hybrid vehicle; said organ of management transmitting to said control body the information necessary to trigger or not the signaling device.
