Description

DISPOSITIF DE COMMANDE D'UN MODULE FORMANT MECANISME DE SERRURE.DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A MODULE FORMING A LOCK MECHANISM.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de commande d'un module formant mécanisme de serrure.The present invention relates to a device for controlling a module forming a lock mechanism.
On connaît déjà dans l'état de la technique un dispositif de commande d'un module formant mécanisme de serrure, du type comprenant un câble de type Bowden comportant un câble, muni de deux extrémités respectivement proximale et distale, logé dans une gaine munie de deux extrémités respectivement proximale et distale immobilisées par deux organes d'arrêt proximal et distal.A device for controlling a module forming a lock mechanism is already known in the prior art, of the type comprising a Bowden type cable comprising a cable, provided with two ends, respectively proximal and distal, housed in a sheath provided with two proximal and distal ends respectively immobilized by two proximal and distal stop members.
Ce type de dispositif de commande est utilisé notamment pour commander une serrure d'ouvrant de véhicule automobile, notamment de porte latérale du véhicule.This type of control device is used in particular to control a lock for a motor vehicle window, in particular for the side door of the vehicle.
L'extrémité proximale du câble est reliée à un levier de commande, encore appelé palette, monté articulé sur l'ouvrant de façon à pouvoir être actionné depuis l'intérieur du véhicule. L'extrémité distale du câble est reliée à un organe de commande du module formant mécanisme de serrure. Ce module, muni d'un pêne, est agencé sur l'ouvrant de façon que, lorsque l'ouvrant est en position fermée, le pêne coopère avec une gâche portée par un dormant correspondant.The proximal end of the cable is connected to a control lever, also called a pallet, mounted articulated on the leaf so that it can be actuated from inside the vehicle. The distal end of the cable is connected to a control member of the module forming a lock mechanism. This module, provided with a bolt, is arranged on the opening so that, when the opening is in the closed position, the bolt cooperates with a keeper carried by a corresponding frame.
Lors du montage du dispositif de commande, il convient notamment de régler la longueur de l'extrémité proximale du câble dépassant à l'extérieur de la gaine, à travers l'extrémité proximale de celle-ci, de façon à prendre en compte le rattrapage de différents jeux fonctionnels du module de serrure et du dispositif de commande. Ce réglage permet d'obtenir une course souhaitée du levier de commande.When mounting the control device, it is particularly advisable to adjust the length of the proximal end of the cable protruding outside the sheath, through the proximal end of the latter, so as to take account of the catch-up different functional sets of the lock module and the control device. This setting provides a desired stroke of the control lever.
Après réalisation du réglage ci-dessus, l'extrémité proximale de la gaine est immobilisée par rapport à l'organe d'arrêt proximal. Il est connu de fixer l'extrémité proximale de la gaine sur l'organe d'arrêt proximal par un procédé de soudage par ultrasons.After carrying out the above adjustment, the proximal end of the sheath is immobilized relative to the proximal stop member. It is known to fix the proximal end of the sheath on the proximal stop member by an ultrasonic welding process.
Or la gaine est généralement formée par un fil, notamment métallique, enroulé en hélice à spires jointives. Cette structure de la gaine ne permet pas toujours d'obtenir une soudure par ultrasons de qualité présentant notamment une bonne résistance de la gaine à l'arrachement. En effet, les ultrasons provoquent dans certains cas une déformation de l'hélice formant la gaine du câble.However, the sheath is generally formed by a wire, in particular a metal wire, wound in a helix with contiguous turns. This sheath structure does not always make it possible to obtain a quality ultrasonic weld having in particular good resistance of the sheath to tearing. Indeed, ultrasound in some cases causes a deformation of the propeller forming the sheath of the cable.
L'invention a pour but d'immobiliser l'extrémité d'une gaine sur un organe d'arrêt correspondant à l'aide de moyens de fixation résistant efficacement à l'arrachement et bien adaptés à une structure en hélice de la gaine. A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de commande d'un module formant mécanisme de serrure, du type précité, caractérisé en ce qu'au moins une des extrémités de la gaine est reliée à l'organe d'arrêt correspondant par collage.The object of the invention is to immobilize the end of a sheath on a corresponding stop member with the aid of fastening means effectively resistant to tearing and well suited to a helical structure of the sheath. To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for controlling a module forming a lock mechanism, of the aforementioned type, characterized in that at least one of the ends of the sheath is connected to the corresponding stop member by collage.
Le collage permet de s'affranchir d'effets indésirables liés aux ultrasons tels que la déformation du fil enroulé en l'hélice formant la gaine du câble. Le collage permet ainsi de fixer la gaine sur un organe d'arrêt de façon efficace et résistante.Bonding eliminates undesirable effects linked to ultrasound such as the deformation of the wire wound into the helix forming the cable sheath. The bonding thus makes it possible to fix the sheath on a stop member in an effective and resistant manner.

- la gaine est formée par au moins un fil, notamment métallique, enroulé en hélice à spires jointives ;- The sheath is formed by at least one wire, in particular metallic, wound in a helix with contiguous turns;
- le module formant mécanisme de commande est agencé dans un ouvrant de véhicule automobile, notamment une porte latérale du véhicule.- The module forming the control mechanism is arranged in an opening of a motor vehicle, in particular a side door of the vehicle.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins dans lesquels : - la figure 1 est une vue générale d'un module formant mécanisme de serrure muni d'un dispositif de commande selon l'invention ;The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the drawings in which: - Figure 1 is a general view of a module forming a lock mechanism provided a control device according to the invention;
- la figure 2 est une vue de détail de la partie cerclée 2 de la figure 1.- Figure 2 is a detail view of the circled part 2 of Figure 1.
On a représenté sur la figure 1 un module 10 formant un mécanisme de serrure commandé au moyen d'un dispositif 12 selon l'invention. Dans l'exemple décrit, le module 10 est agencé dans un ouvrant de véhicule automobile, plus particulièrement une porte latérale de ce véhicule.FIG. 1 shows a module 10 forming a lock mechanism controlled by means of a device 12 according to the invention. In the example described, the module 10 is arranged in an opening of a motor vehicle, more particularly a side door of this vehicle.
Le dispositif de commande 12 est destiné à relier un organe de commande du module 10 avec un levier de commande classique (non représenté), encore appelé palette, monté articulé sur l'ouvrant de façon à pouvoir être actionné depuis l'intérieur du véhicule. Dans ce qui suit, en considérant la chaîne cinématique entre le levier de commande et le module 10, on qualifiera, d'une part, de proximal un élément proche du levier de commande et éloigné du module 10 et, d'autre part, de distal un élément éloigné du levier de commande et proche du module 10. Le dispositif de commande 12 comprend un câble de type Bowden qui, de façon classique, comporte un câble proprement dit monté coulissant dans une gaine.The control device 12 is intended to connect a control member of the module 10 with a conventional control lever (not shown), also called a pallet, mounted articulated on the opening so as to be able to be actuated from inside the vehicle. In what follows, considering the kinematic chain between the control lever and the module 10, we will qualify, on the one hand, an element close to the control lever and distant from the module 10 and, on the other hand, distal an element remote from the control lever and close to the module 10. The control device 12 comprises a Bowden type cable which, conventionally, comprises a cable proper, slidably mounted in a sheath.
Ainsi, ce câble Bowden comporte un câble 14 muni de deux extrémités respectivement proximale et distale. Sur les figures, seule l'extrémité proximale 14P du câble est représentée. De façon classique, l'extrémité proximale 14P du câble est munie d'une masse 16 d'accrochage de ce câble à un organe lié cinématiquement au levier de commande. Cette masse 16 est habituellement en alliage métallique couramment désigné par le nom « Zamak ».Thus, this Bowden cable comprises a cable 14 provided with two ends respectively proximal and distal. In the figures, only the proximal end 14P of the cable is shown. Conventionally, the proximal end 14P of the cable is provided with a mass 16 for hooking this cable to a member kinematically linked to the control lever. This mass 16 is usually made of a metal alloy commonly designated by the name "Zamak".
Le câble 14 est logé dans une gaine 18 munie de deux extrémités respectivement proximale 18P et distale 18D. La gaine 18 est formée par au moins un fil, de préférence métallique, enroulé en hélice à spires jointives. .The cable 14 is housed in a sheath 18 provided with two ends respectively proximal 18P and distal 18D. The sheath 18 is formed by at least one wire, preferably metallic, wound in a helix with contiguous turns. .
L'extrémité distale 18D de la gaine est immobilisée par fixation de façon connue en soit dans un organe d'arrêt distal 20D porté par le module 10.The distal end 18D of the sheath is immobilized by fixing in a manner known per se in a distal stop member 20D carried by the module 10.
L'extrémité proximale 18P de la gaine est immobilisée par fixation dans un organe d'arrêt proximal 20P représenté plus en détail sur la figure 2. Conformément à l'invention, au moins une des extrémités 18P, 18D de la gaine, à savoir l'extrémité proximale 18P dans l'exemple décrit, est reliée par collage à l'organe d'arrêt correspondant, à savoir l'organe d'arrêt proximal 20P dans l'exemple décrit.The proximal end 18P of the sheath is immobilized by fixing in a proximal stop member 20P shown in more detail in FIG. 2. According to the invention, at least one of the ends 18P, 18D of the sheath, namely the the proximal end 18P in the example described, is bonded to the corresponding stop member, namely the proximal stop member 20P in the example described.
L'organe d'arrêt proximal 20P (collé) est muni d'une partie 22 formant manchon d'emboîtement de l'extrémité proximale 18P (collée) de la gaine. Cette partie 22 est prolongée par une coque 24, munie de moyens d'accrochage classiques sur un support fixe (non représenté) solidaire de l'ouvrant. Ces moyens d'accrochage comprennent par exemple deux pattes d'encliquetage 26.The proximal stop member 20P (glued) is provided with a part 22 forming a sleeve for fitting the proximal end 18P (glued) of the sheath. This part 22 is extended by a shell 24, provided with conventional attachment means on a fixed support (not shown) integral with the opening. These hooking means comprise for example two snap tabs 26.
On notera que la coque 24 forme un logement pour la masse d'accrochage 16.It will be noted that the shell 24 forms a housing for the attachment mass 16.
La partie 22 formant manchon comporte un orifice 28 sensiblement transversal à la direction d'emboîtement de l'extrémité proximale 18P de la gaine. Cet orifice 28, relativement vaste, forme un réceptacle de réception d'une masse de colle 30 en contact avec l'extrémité proximale 18P de la gaine et l'organe d'arrêt proximal 20P. La fixation de l'extrémité proximale 18P de la gaine sur l'organe d'arrêt proximal 20P est donc très simple à réaliser. Tout d'abord, on règle de façon connue en soi la longueur de l'extrémité proximale 14P du câble dépassant à l'extérieur de la gaine 18, à travers l'extrémité proximale 18P de celle-ci, de façon à rattraper différents jeux fonctionnels du module 10 et du dispositif dé commande 12. Puis, on fixe l'extrémité proximale 18P de la gaine sur l'organe d'arrêt proximal 20P en remplissant l'orifice 28 d'une masse de colle 30. Cette dernière, en contact notamment avec l'extrémité proximale 18P de la gaine et les bords de l'organe d'arrêt proximal 20P délimitant l'orifice 28, adhère fortement avec la gaine 18 et l'organe d'arrêt proximal 20P de façon à assurer une fixation résistante ne déformant pas la structure en hélice de la gaine 18.The part 22 forming the sleeve has an orifice 28 substantially transverse to the direction of fitting of the proximal end 18P of the sheath. This orifice 28, relatively large, forms a receptacle for receiving a mass of adhesive 30 in contact with the proximal end 18P of the sheath and the proximal stop member 20P. Fixing the proximal end 18P of the sheath on the proximal stop member 20P is therefore very simple to carry out. First of all, the length of the proximal end 14P of the cable protruding outside the sheath 18 is adjusted in a manner known per se, through the proximal end 18P thereof, so as to make up for different clearances functional of the module 10 and of the control device 12. Then, the proximal end 18P of the sheath is fixed to the proximal stop member 20P by filling the orifice 28 with a mass of adhesive 30. The latter, in contact in particular with the proximal end 18P of the sheath and the edges of the proximal stop member 20P delimiting the orifice 28, strongly adheres with the sheath 18 and the proximal stop member 20P so as to ensure fixation resistant does not deform the helical structure of the sheath 18.
De façon avantageuse, une encoche peut être ménagée sur l'extrémité proximale 18P de la gaine afin d'optimiser l'accrochage de la masse de colle.Advantageously, a notch can be formed on the proximal end 18P of the sheath in order to optimize the attachment of the mass of adhesive.
On notera que l'extrémité proximale 18P de la gaine, emboîtée dans la partie 22 formant manchon, constitue un fond du réceptacle de réception de la masse de colle 30. De plus, après mise en place de la masse de colle 30 dans l'orifice 28, il n'est pas nécessaire d'obturer celui-ci.It will be noted that the proximal end 18P of the sheath, fitted into the part 22 forming a sleeve, constitutes a bottom of the receptacle for receiving the adhesive mass 30. In addition, after the adhesive mass 30 has been placed in the orifice 28, it is not necessary to close it.
Le cas échéant, les bords de l'organe d'arrêt proximal 20P délimitant l'orifice 28 peuvent comporter des reliefs, saillants ou en creux, optimisant l'adhérence de la masse de colle 30. Where appropriate, the edges of the proximal stop member 20P delimiting the orifice 28 may include reliefs, protruding or recessed, optimizing the adhesion of the mass of adhesive 30.
