Description

DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION
TITRE : VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE AVEC CÂBLE DE RECHARGE D’UNE BATTERIE DE TRACTION INTEGRE DANS LA CAROSSERIE TITLE: MOTOR VEHICLE WITH CHARGING CABLE FOR A TRACTION BATTERY INTEGRATED IN THE BODYWORK
1 . La présente invention revendique la priorité de la demande française N° 2208386 déposée le 19.08.2022 dont le contenu (texte, dessins et revendications) est ici incorporé par référence. 1. The present invention claims the priority of French application No. 2208386 filed on 08.19.2022, the content of which (text, drawings and claims) is here incorporated by reference.
2. La présente invention concerne un véhicule automobile électrique ou hybride rechargeable équipé d’un câble de recharge d’une batterie de traction intégré dans un logement de la carrosserie. 2. The present invention relates to an electric or rechargeable hybrid motor vehicle equipped with a traction battery charging cable integrated into a housing of the bodywork.
3. Certains véhicules hybrides ou électriques équipés d’une batterie de traction pouvant se recharger sur un réseau de distribution d’électricité, comportent dans le véhicule un câble comprenant une extrémité reliée en permanence à un système de charge intégré dans ce véhicule, et à l’autre extrémité un connecteur qui en stationnement permet de sortir le câble pour brancher ce connecteur sur une prise du réseau. 3. Certain hybrid or electric vehicles equipped with a traction battery that can be recharged on an electricity distribution network, include in the vehicle a cable comprising one end permanently connected to a charging system integrated into this vehicle, and to the other end a connector which when parked allows the cable to be taken out to plug this connector into a network socket.
4. Un type de véhicule connu équipé d’un câble de recharge intégré, présenté notamment par le document FR-A1-3103416, comporte un câble logé dans un volume disposé en haut d’une aile arrière, présentant une trappe d’ouverture formée dans l’ouverture de la porte arrière, en avant de cette aile. 4. A type of known vehicle equipped with an integrated charging cable, presented in particular by document FR-A1-3103416, comprises a cable housed in a volume arranged at the top of a rear wing, presenting an opening hatch formed in the opening of the rear door, in front of this wing.
5. Ce type de logement reçoit le câble de recharge replié sans disposition particulière pour son rangement, l’opérateur doit alors le repousser dans le logement avec un câble formant un empilement quelconque. L’opération est délicate, lente et peu ergonomique. Elle prend un peu de temps, ce qui peut être gênant en particulier dans le cas où elle est réalisée fréquemment. 5. This type of housing receives the folded charging cable without any particular provision for its storage, the operator must then push it back into the housing with a cable forming any stack. The operation is delicate, slow and not very ergonomic. It takes a little time, which can be annoying especially if it is done frequently.
6. Un autre type de véhicule connu équipé d’un câble de recharge, présenté notamment par le document DE-A1 -4212207, comporte un câble enroulé en spirale disposée dans un boîtier allongé formé dans la carrosserie du véhicule. Une trappe extérieure fermant le boîtier permet d’accéder au connecteur disposé en bout du câble. 6. Another type of known vehicle equipped with a charging cable, presented in particular by document DE-A1 -4212207, comprises a spirally wound cable arranged in an elongated housing formed in the bodywork of the vehicle. An exterior hatch closing the box provides access to the connector located at the end of the cable.
7. La spirale du câble présente une élasticité lui permettant de se resserrer axialement sur elle-même. De cette manière un opérateur ouvre la trappe, puis saisit le connecteur en tirant sur la spirale afin de l’allonger par une traction suivant son axe, ce qui permet de sortir le câble pour rejoindre une prise du réseau. La spirale du câble applique une tension axiale permanente qui évite de laisser une longueur de câble traîner par terre entre le véhicule et la prise. 7. The spiral of the cable has an elasticity allowing it to tighten axially on itself. In this way an operator opens the hatch, then grabs the connector by pulling on the spiral in order to extend it by pulling along its axis, which allows the cable to be taken out to reach a network socket. The spiral of the cable applies a permanent axial tension which avoids leaving a length of cable lying on the ground between the vehicle and the socket.
8. De plus quand l’opérateur débranche le connecteur, la spirale se rétracte automatiquement en rentrant l’ensemble du câble dans le boîtier du véhicule. 8. In addition, when the operator unplugs the connector, the spiral automatically retracts, pulling the entire cable into the vehicle housing.
9. Toutefois la spirale étirée par déformation élastique garde une forme générale en spirale qui fait perdre de la longueur utile pour rejoindre la prise. Un redressement complet de la spirale donnant un câble sensiblement rectiligne, pour obtenir la longueur maximale, se fait avec une force de traction élevée qui est peu ergonomique. 9. However, the spiral stretched by elastic deformation keeps a general spiral shape which causes us to lose useful length to reach the socket. A complete straightening of the spiral giving a substantially straight cable, to obtain the maximum length, is done with a high tensile force which is not very ergonomic.
10. La présente invention a notamment pour but d’éviter ces problèmes de l’art antérieur. 10. The present invention aims in particular to avoid these problems of the prior art.
11 . Elle propose à cet effet un véhicule automobile équipé d’un câble intégré de recharge d’une batterie de traction, relié d’un côté en permanence au véhicule, et présentant de l’autre côté un connecteur, ce câble pouvant sortir du véhicule pour brancher le connecteur sur une prise d’un réseau d’alimentation électrique, ce véhicule étant remarquable en ce que sa carrosserie comporte sur un côté un logement allongé verticalement, contenant le câble de recharge faisant au moins en partie supérieure du logement une courbe qui est supportée en position haute par un système de rappel élastique. 11. For this purpose, it offers a motor vehicle equipped with an integrated cable for recharging a traction battery, permanently connected on one side to the vehicle, and having a connector on the other side, this cable being able to exit the vehicle to plug the connector into a socket of an electrical supply network, this vehicle being remarkable in that its bodywork comprises on one side a vertically elongated housing, containing the charging cable making at least in the upper part of the housing a curve which is supported in the high position by an elastic return system.
12. Un avantage de ce véhicule est qu’en tirant sur le connecteur pour le brancher sur une prise on a une sortie du câble qui se fait de manière ordonnée, avec une sortie de la boucle vers l’extérieur permise par l'élongation du système de rappel élastique, ce qui permet d'obtenir un câble sensiblement rectiligne dans le cas d'une sortie complète. Toute la longueur du câble est alors utilisée avec un faible effort de traction réglée par l'élasticité du système de rappel, ce qui permet d’optimiser l’utilisation de ce câble pour rejoindre des prises éloignées du véhicule. 12. An advantage of this vehicle is that by pulling on the connector to plug it into a socket we have an exit of the cable which is done in an orderly manner, with an exit of the loop towards the outside allowed by the elongation of the elastic return system, which makes it possible to obtain a substantially straight cable in the case of a complete extension. Full length of the cable is then used with a low tensile effort regulated by the elasticity of the return system, which makes it possible to optimize the use of this cable to reach sockets distant from the vehicle.
13. De plus après le débranchement du connecteur sur la prise, on a automatiquement un rappel du système élastique qui remonte la partie supérieure de la boucle en rangeant entièrement le câble dans le logement de la carrosserie. On obtient de manière rapide et ergonomique un rangement optimisé du câble dans un volume minimum, avec un pliage et des courbures maîtrisés qui ne mettent pas de contrainte particulière sur ce câble. 13. In addition, after unplugging the connector from the socket, there is automatically a return of the elastic system which raises the upper part of the loop, completely storing the cable in the housing of the bodywork. Optimized storage of the cable is obtained quickly and ergonomically in a minimum volume, with controlled folding and curvatures which do not place any particular stress on this cable.
14. Le véhicule hybride ou électrique selon l’invention peut comporter de plus une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, qui peuvent être combinées entre elles. 14. The hybrid or electric vehicle according to the invention may also include one or more of the following characteristics, which can be combined with each other.
15. Avantageusement, le câble venant de la batterie rentre dans le logement sensiblement à mi-hauteur de ce logement. 15. Advantageously, the cable coming from the battery enters the housing approximately halfway up this housing.
16. De plus, avantageusement le câble après être rentré dans le logement commence par descendre pour présenter d’abord une courbe inférieure formant un demi-tour avant de remonter vers la courbe supérieure. 16. In addition, advantageously the cable after entering the housing begins by descending to first present a lower curve forming a half-turn before rising towards the upper curve.
17. En particulier, le câble peut comporter plusieurs courbes supérieures supportées chacune par un système de rappel élastique. 17. In particular, the cable may include several upper curves each supported by an elastic return system.
18. Avantageusement, le logement vertical s’étend sur toute la hauteur de la carrosserie du véhicule. 18. Advantageously, the vertical housing extends over the entire height of the vehicle body.
19. Selon un mode de réalisation, le logement vertical est disposé juste en arrière des portes avant du véhicule. 19. According to one embodiment, the vertical housing is arranged just behind the front doors of the vehicle.
20. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, le logement vertical est disposé juste en avant d’un hayon arrière du véhicule. 20. According to another embodiment, the vertical housing is arranged just in front of a rear hatch of the vehicle.
21 . Avantageusement, le logement vertical comporte une trappe de fermeture. 21. Advantageously, the vertical housing includes a closing hatch.
22. Dans ce cas, avantageusement la trappe de fermeture comporte un verrou de blocage commandé par une clé ou de l’intérieur du véhicule. 22. In this case, advantageously the closing hatch includes a blocking lock controlled by a key or from inside the vehicle.
23. Avantageusement, le véhicule comporte un chargeur de batterie présentant une puissance de recharge au moins égale à 22 kW. 24. L’invention sera mieux comprise et d’autres caractéristiques et avantages apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description ci-après donnée à titre d’exemple, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :23. Advantageously, the vehicle includes a battery charger having a charging power at least equal to 22 kW. 24. The invention will be better understood and other characteristics and advantages will appear more clearly on reading the description below given by way of example, with reference to the appended drawings in which:
25. [Fig. 1] est une vue d’un véhicule utilitaire selon l’invention ; 25. [Fig. 1] is a view of a utility vehicle according to the invention;
26. [Fig. 2] est une vue en coupe transversale du logement de ce véhicule avec le câble rentré ; 26. [Fig. 2] is a cross-sectional view of the housing of this vehicle with the cable retracted;
27. [Fig. 3] est une vue en coupe transversale du logement avec le câble sorti ; et 27. [Fig. 3] is a cross-sectional view of the housing with the cable extended; And
28. [Fig. 4] est une vue d’un autre véhicule utilitaire selon l’invention.28. [Fig. 4] is a view of another utility vehicle according to the invention.
29. Dans l’ensemble du document, suivant la direction transversale du véhicule le côté intérieur est tourné vers son axe longitudinal et le côté extérieur dans la direction opposée. La direction avant du véhicule suivant le sens de marche est indiquée par la flèche AV, ses côtés droit et gauche sont présentés en regardant la direction avant. 29. Throughout the document, following the transverse direction of the vehicle, the interior side is turned towards its longitudinal axis and the exterior side in the opposite direction. The forward direction of the vehicle following the direction of travel is indicated by the forward arrow, its right and left sides are shown looking at the forward direction.
30. Les figures 1 et 2 présentent un véhicule utilitaire du type camionnette électrique ou hybride pouvant être rechargé sur un réseau de distribution d’électricité, comportant sur le côté droit successivement une porte avant 2, une porte latérale coulissante 4 et une aile arrière 6 qui va jusqu’au hayon du coffre arrière. 30. Figures 1 and 2 show a utility vehicle of the electric or hybrid van type which can be recharged on an electricity distribution network, comprising on the right side successively a front door 2, a sliding side door 4 and a rear wing 6 which goes all the way to the rear trunk hatch.
31 . La carrosserie comporte un logement allongé verticalement 10 couvrant sensiblement toute la hauteur du véhicule, qui peut se trouver en position avant 10A entre la porte avant 2 et la porte coulissante 4, ou en position arrière 10B, juste après l’aile arrière 6 et devant le hayon de coffre. 31. The bodywork comprises a vertically elongated housing 10 covering substantially the entire height of the vehicle, which can be located in the front position 10A between the front door 2 and the sliding door 4, or in the rear position 10B, just after the rear wing 6 and in front the trunk lid.
32. Le logement 10 est fermé par une trappe 12 le recouvrant complètement sur sa hauteur, disposant de charnières pour s’ouvrir sur le côté, qui est présentée en position ouverte pour le logement arrière 10B. Chaque trappe 12 dispose d’un verrou de blocage qui la maintient en position fermée, pouvant pour assurer la sécurité, comme pour une trappe à carburant, comporter une fermeture avec une clé extérieure ou avec un système commandé par l’intérieur du véhicule. 32. Housing 10 is closed by a hatch 12 completely covering its height, having hinges to open on the side, which is presented in the open position for rear housing 10B. Each hatch 12 has a blocking lock which keeps it in the closed position, which can, to ensure security, as for a fuel flap, include closing with an external key or with a system controlled from inside the vehicle.
33. Le logement allongé verticalement 10 dispose d’une faible profondeur permettant de recevoir un câble de recharge de la batterie de traction du véhicule 22 en branchant un connecteur 20 disposé à l’extrémité de ce câble sur la prise du réseau de distribution d’électricité. L’autre extrémité du câble 22 est reliée à un dispositif de contrôle de la charge de la batterie 18 restant en permanence dans le véhicule. 33. The vertically elongated housing 10 has a shallow depth making it possible to receive a charging cable for the traction battery of the vehicle 22 by connecting a connector 20 disposed at the end of this cable on the socket of the electricity distribution network. The other end of the cable 22 is connected to a device for controlling the charge of the battery 18 remaining permanently in the vehicle.
34. Le câble 22 présente plusieurs courbes formant des boucles qui restent dans un plan vertical disposé suivant la direction transversale du véhicule, avec une répartition de ce câble partant du fond du logement 10 pour aller vers l’extérieur du véhicule afin de faciliter sa sortie. 34. The cable 22 has several curves forming loops which remain in a vertical plane arranged in the transverse direction of the vehicle, with a distribution of this cable starting from the bottom of the housing 10 to go towards the exterior of the vehicle in order to facilitate its exit .
35. Le câble 22 présente en partant de son entrée dans le logement vertical 10 disposé au fond de cet espace et sensiblement à mi-hauteur, après une descente en bas du logement une première courbe inférieure 24 formant un demi-tour qui le fait remonter jusqu’en haut du logement, puis une deuxième courbe supérieure 26 formant un demi-tour qui le fait descendre, réalisée par un point de fixation supérieur 28 maintenant en hauteur cette deuxième courbe. 35. The cable 22 presents, starting from its entry into the vertical housing 10 disposed at the bottom of this space and approximately halfway up, after a descent to the bottom of the housing, a first lower curve 24 forming a half-turn which causes it to rise again to the top of the housing, then a second upper curve 26 forming a half-turn which makes it descend, produced by an upper fixing point 28 maintaining this second curve in height.
36. Un système élastique comportant un ressort 30 fixé d’un côté en haut du logement 10, comporte de l’autre côté le point de fixation supérieur 28 de manière à maintenir toujours en hauteur dans ce logement la deuxième courbe supérieure 26. 36. An elastic system comprising a spring 30 fixed on one side at the top of the housing 10, includes on the other side the upper fixing point 28 so as to always maintain the second upper curve 26 at height in this housing.
37. En complément le câble 22 peut comporter d’autres courbes, avec les courbes supérieures maintenues en position haute par d’autres systèmes élastiques 30 disposés en parallèle du premier, permettant de faire plus de plis pour obtenir une plus grande longueur de câble 22 avec une sortie et un rangement toujours en ordre. 37. In addition, the cable 22 may include other curves, with the upper curves held in the high position by other elastic systems 30 arranged in parallel with the first, allowing more folds to be made to obtain a greater length of cable 22 with exit and storage always in order.
38. En particulier le chargeur de batterie intégré dans le véhicule peut présenter une capacité maximum de 22 kW qui nécessite un câble 22 spécifique, et une prise de recharge particulière sécurisée ne correspondant pas aux prises de courant alternatif habituellement disponibles chez les particuliers et délivrant une puissance ne dépassant pas 11 kW. Ce type de câble 22 avec sa prise 20 pour des puissances importantes est ainsi conservé de manière sécurisée dans le véhicule grâce au logement 10 qui est fermé et reste toujours propre. 38. In particular, the battery charger integrated into the vehicle may have a maximum capacity of 22 kW which requires a specific cable 22, and a specific secure charging socket not corresponding to the alternating current sockets usually available in private homes and delivering a power not exceeding 11 kW. This type of cable 22 with its socket 20 for high powers is thus kept securely in the vehicle thanks to the housing 10 which is closed and always remains clean.
39. La figure 3 présente un opérateur qui après avoir ouvert la trappe 12, tire sur le connecteur 20 pour le brancher sur une prise d’un réseau de distribution d’électricité. On obtient une sortie du câble 22 hors du logement 10, avec une traction sur le point de fixation supérieur 28 entraînant une élongation du ressort 30, ce qui permet aux différentes parties du câble de s’approcher d’une position sensiblement horizontale. 39. Figure 3 shows an operator who, after opening the hatch 12, pulls on the connector 20 to plug it into a socket on a network of electricity distribution. We obtain an exit of the cable 22 from the housing 10, with traction on the upper fixing point 28 causing an elongation of the spring 30, which allows the different parts of the cable to approach a substantially horizontal position.
40. Après le branchement du connecteur 20 sur la prise, la traction du ressort 30 maintient le câble légèrement plié suivant sa longueur de déploiement et la distance avec la prise, ce qui évite de le laisser traîner par terre. L’opération de branchement du connecteur 20 est très rapide, après l’avoir saisi sensiblement à mi-hauteur du véhicule, sans avoir d’autre manœuvre à effectuer après l’ouverture de la trappe 12, ce qui représente une opération rapide et ergonomique. 40. After connecting the connector 20 to the socket, the traction of the spring 30 keeps the cable slightly bent according to its deployment length and the distance from the socket, which avoids letting it drag on the ground. The operation of connecting the connector 20 is very quick, after having grasped it approximately halfway up the vehicle, without having to carry out any other maneuver after opening the hatch 12, which represents a rapid and ergonomic operation. .
41 . De plus le logement vertical 10 dédié pour recevoir le câble étant bien fermé, reste constamment propre ce qui assure les meilleures conditions pour l’entretien et la préservation du câble 22 avec son connecteur 20. 41. In addition, the vertical housing 10 dedicated to receiving the cable, being well closed, remains constantly clean, which ensures the best conditions for the maintenance and preservation of the cable 22 with its connector 20.
42. La figure 4 présente un véhicule utilitaire électrique ou hybride du type pick-up, comportant une cabine pour deux passagers disposant de portes avant 2, et juste derrière une benne recevant de chaque côté les ailes arrière 6. 42. Figure 4 shows an electric or hybrid utility vehicle of the pick-up type, comprising a cabin for two passengers with front doors 2, and just behind a dumpster receiving the rear wings 6 on each side.
43. Un espace entre la porte avant 2 et l’aile arrière 6, formant l’arrière de la cabine, reçoit sur le côté droit le logement vertical 10 équipé d’une trappe 12 présentée ouverte sur ce schéma. 43. A space between the front door 2 and the rear wing 6, forming the rear of the cabin, receives on the right side the vertical housing 10 equipped with a hatch 12 shown open in this diagram.
44. Le câble 22 disposé de la même manière dans le logement vertical 10, avec le ressort de traction supérieure 30, permet aussi une sortie simple et rapide de ce câble pour recharger une batterie de traction du véhicule. 44. The cable 22 arranged in the same way in the vertical housing 10, with the upper tension spring 30, also allows simple and rapid exit of this cable to recharge a vehicle traction battery.
