Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des équipements des véhicules automobiles à moteurs à combustion interne, en particulier les équipements accessoires de tels moteurs, et a pour objets un dispositif de répartiteur d'admission et son procédé de montage sur un moteur.The present invention relates to the field of equipment of motor vehicles with internal combustion engines, in particular the accessory equipment of such engines, and has as its object an intake distributor device and its mounting method on an engine.

Les moteurs à combustion interne sont de manière connue équipés de répartiteurs ou collecteurs d'admission qui alimentent les cylindres en air de combustion, éventuellement mélangé à des gaz de combustion recyclés.Internal combustion engines are known in the known manner equipped with distributors or intake manifolds which feed the cylinders with combustion air, possibly mixed with recycled combustion gases.

Ces répartiteurs sont solidarisés rigidement et de manière étanche sur la ou les culasses du moteur au moyen de vis de fixation et avec interposition de platines de raccordement.These splitter boxes are rigidly and sealingly attached to the engine cylinder head (s) by means of fixing screws and with the interposition of connection plates.

Ces platines intègrent des moyens d'étanchéité et se présentent généralement sous la forme de plaques ajourées, assurant la liaison fluidique entre les sorties des tubulures et les entrées de la ou des culasse(s).These plates incorporate sealing means and are generally in the form of perforated plates, ensuring the fluid connection between the outlets of the tubes and the inputs of the cylinder head (s).

Actuellement, ces platines sont généralement mises en place sur le plan de montage de la culasse avant la fixation du répartiteur, ce qui entraîne une opération supplémentaire au niveau de la chaîne d'assemblage, requérant une grande précision d'exécution afin de garantir une bonne étanchéité. Cette opération est encore plus fastidieuse lorsque plusieurs platines distinctes doivent être mises en place.Currently, these plates are usually placed on the mounting plane of the cylinder head before fixing the distributor, which causes an additional operation at the assembly line, requiring a high accuracy of execution to ensure good seal. This operation is even more tedious when several separate plates must be put in place.

Il est également possible de mettre en place ces platines sur le répartiteur avant son montage sur le moteur.It is also possible to set up these plates on the splitter before mounting it on the engine.

Toutefois, un assemblage rigide de la ou des platines avec le répartiteur supprime toute possibilité de jeu au moment du serrage et peut ainsi résulter en un mésalignement au niveau de la culasse, en particulier en présence de plusieurs platines distinctes.However, a rigid assembly of the plate or plates with the distributor eliminates any possibility of play at the time of tightening and may result in a misalignment at the cylinder head, especially in the presence of several separate plates.

En outre, lorsque les platines sont fixées sur le répartiteur, l'encombrement de ce dernier, en particulier l'encombrement latéral du répartiteur, s'en trouve augmenté, empêchant, le cas échéant, un montage à travers un passage d'accès étroit, dans certaines configurations de construction, vers les culasses.In addition, when the plates are fixed on the distributor, the size of the latter, in particular the lateral size of the distributor, is increased, preventing, if necessary, mounting through a narrow access passage , in some construction configurations, to the cylinder heads.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de surmonter certaines, et préférentiellement tou(te)s, les limitations et/ou inconvénients exposés ci-dessus.The present invention is intended in particular to overcome some, and preferably all, the limitations and / or disadvantages described above.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de répartiteur ou de collecteur d'admission, en particulier pour moteur à cylindres en V, comportant deux rangées d'au moins deux tubulures, les orifices de sortie des tubulures de chacune des deux rangées étant situés dans un plan respectif et ces deux plans formant entre eux un angle obtus, ledit dispositif de répartiteur comprenant également, pour chaque rangée de tubulures, une platine intermédiaire de raccordement, préférentiellement avec un corps sous la forme d'une plaque ajourée, ces platines étant destinées à être prises en sandwich avec serrage entre les extrémités des tubulures et les plans de montage arrangés en V des culasses pour réaliser des liaisons fluidiques étanches entre les tubulures et les cylindres du moteur,
dispositif de répartiteur caractérisé en ce que les corps des deux platines intermédiaires de raccordement sont reliés au corps du répartiteur par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison de rétention et de positionnement lâche, autorisant des déplacements relatifs limités en translation et en pivotement desdites platines entre elles et/ou par rapport au corps du répartiteur et n'entravant pas le positionnement final de ces dernières lors du montage avec serrage du corps du répartiteur sur les culasses avec prise en sandwich desdits corps de platine.For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is a distributor or intake manifold device, in particular for a V-cylinder engine, comprising two rows of at least two pipes, the outlet orifices of the pipes of each of the two rows being located in a respective plane and these two planes forming an obtuse angle between them, said distributor device also comprising, for each row of tubes, an intermediate connecting plate, preferably with a body in the form of a perforated plate, these plates being intended to be sandwiched with clamping between the ends of the pipes and the arranged mounting planes in V of the cylinder heads to make sealed fluidic connections between the pipes and the cylinders of the engine,
distributor device characterized in that the bodies of the two intermediate connection plates are connected to the body of the distributor by means of a loose retention and positioning connection, allowing limited relative displacement in translation and pivoting of said plates between them and / or relative to the body of the distributor and does not interfere with the final positioning of the latter during assembly with tightening of the body of the distributor on the cylinder heads with sandwiching said platinum bodies.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, grâce à la description ci-après, qui se rapporte à un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, et expliqué avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels :

  • les figures 1A et 1B sont des vues éclatées en perspective, selon deux directions différentes, d'un dispositif de répartiteur d'admission selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessous du dispositif de répartiteur de la figure 1, après assemblage;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en élévation frontale, dans la direction longitudinale du corps du répartiteur et dans la direction des rangées tubulaires, du répartiteur d'admission des figures 1 et 2, les deux platines étant situées dans leurs positions de pivotement extrêmes, éloignées des rangées de tubulures qui leur sont respectivement associées;
  • la figure 4 est une vue analogue à celle de la figure 3, les corps de platine ayant été pivotés et rapprochés des extrémités des tubulures (par mise en appui sur les plans de montage des culasses) ;
  • la figure 5 et une vue en coupe selon un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du corps du répartiteur du dispositif représenté figure 4, et,
  • les figures 6 et 7 sont des vues en perspective, de dessus et de dessous, de l'ensemble de deux platines de raccordement faisant partie du dispositif de répartiteur représenté aux figures 1 à 5.
The invention will be better understood, thanks to the following description, which refers to a preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example, and explained with reference to the attached schematic drawings, in which:
  • the Figures 1A and 1B are exploded views in perspective, in two different directions, of an intake distributor device according to the invention;
  • the figure 2 is a bottom view of the dispatcher device of the figure 1 , after assembly;
  • the figure 3 is a front elevational view, in the longitudinal direction of the tundish body and in the direction of the tubular rows, of the inlet manifold of the figures 1 and 2 , the two plates being located in their extreme pivoting positions, away from the rows of pipes which are respectively associated therewith;
  • the figure 4 is a view similar to that of the figure 3 , the platinum bodies having been pivoted and brought closer to the ends of the tubes (by bearing on the mounting planes of the cylinder heads);
  • the figure 5 and a sectional view along a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the body of the distributor of the device shown figure 4 and,
  • the figures 6 and 7 are perspective views, from above and below, of the set of two connection plates forming part of the distributor device shown in FIGS. Figures 1 to 5 .

Les figures 1 à 5 des dessins annexés montrent un dispositif 1 de répartiteur ou de collecteur d'admission, en particulier pour moteur à cylindres en V.The Figures 1 to 5 appended drawings show a distributor 1 or intake manifold device 1, in particular for a V-cylinder engine.

Ce répartiteur comporte deux rangées 2' d'au moins deux tubulures 2, les orifices de sortie 3 des tubulures 2 de chacune des deux rangées 2' étant situés dans un plan respectif P, P' et ces deux plans formant entre eux un angle obtus.This distributor comprises two rows 2 'of at least two pipes 2, the outlet orifices 3 of the pipes 2 of each of the two rows 2' being situated in a respective plane P, P 'and these two planes forming between them an obtuse angle .

Ledit dispositif de répartiteur 1 comprend également, pour chaque rangée de tubulures 2, une platine intermédiaire de raccordement 4, préférentiellement avec un corps 4' sous la forme d'une plaque ajourée, ces platines 4 étant destinées à être prises en sandwich avec serrage entre les extrémités 2" des tubulures 2 et les plans de montage arrangés en V des culasses, ce afin de réaliser des liaisons fluidiques étanches entre les tubulures et les cylindres du moteur.Said distributor device 1 also comprises, for each row of pipes 2, an intermediate connecting plate 4, preferably with a body 4 'in the form of a perforated plate, these plates 4 being intended to be sandwiched with clamping between the ends 2 "of the pipes 2 and the mounting planes arranged in V of the cylinder heads, in order to make sealed fluidic connections between the pipes and the cylinders of the engine.

Conformément à l'invention, les corps 4' des deux platines intermédiaires de raccordement 4 sont chacun reliés au corps 1' du répartiteur 1 par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison 5 de rétention et de positionnement lâche, autorisant des déplacements relatifs limités en translation et en pivotement desdites platines 4 entre elles et/ou par rapport au corps du répartiteur 1' et n'entravant pas le positionnement final de ces dernières lors du montage avec serrage du corps 1' du répartiteur 1 sur les culasses avec prise en sandwich desdits corps de platine 4'.According to the invention, the bodies 4 'of the two intermediate connection plates 4 are each connected to the body 1' of the distributor 1 via a connection 5 of retention and loose positioning, allowing limited relative displacement in translation and in pivoting of said plates 4 between them and / or relative to the body of the distributor 1 'and does not interfere with the final positioning of the latter during assembly with clamping body 1' of the distributor 1 on the cylinder heads with sandwiched said 4 'platinum body.

Ainsi, les deux platines 4 peuvent être prémontées sur le corps 1' du répartiteur, tout en disposant d'une certaine liberté de mouvement permettant leur positionnement précis entre les tubulures et les culasses lors du montage du dispositif 1 sur le moteur concerné.Thus, the two plates 4 may be pre-assembled on the body 1 'of the distributor, while having a certain freedom of movement allowing their precise positioning between the pipes and the cylinder heads during assembly of the device 1 on the engine concerned.

En outre, le déplacement des platines 4 permet de modifier l'encombrement global du dispositif de répartiteur 1, en terme de volume, de forme et/ou de réduction de dimension.In addition, the displacement of the plates 4 makes it possible to modify the overall size of the distributor device 1, in terms of volume, shape and / or size reduction.

De manière avantageuse, les liaisons articulées avec faculté de translation et de pivotement, résultant des liaisons 5 de rétention et de positionnement des deux corps de platine 4' entre eux et par rapport au corps du répartiteur 1', sont au moins partiellement confondues et présentent notamment des axes de pivotement confondus. De plus, l'axe commun X du pivotement limité des platines 4 autorisé par la liaison 5 de rétention et de positionnement lâche, s'étend entre les deux rangées 2' de tubulures et parallèlement à celles-ci, et que la translation limitée autorisée de chaque platine 4 peut s'effectuer au moins dans la direction d'extension de la portion extrémale des tubulures 2 de la rangée 2' concernée par la platine 4 considérée.Advantageously, articulated links with translational and pivotal faculty resulting from retention and positioning of the two platen bodies 4 'with each other and with respect to the body of the distributor 1', are at least partially combined and in particular have pivot axes coinciding. In addition, the common axis X of the limited pivoting of the plates 4 authorized by the connection 5 of retention and loose positioning, extends between the two rows 2 'of tubings and parallel thereto, and that the limited translation allowed each platen 4 can be carried out at least in the direction of extension of the extremal portion of the tubes 2 of the row 2 'concerned by the plate 4 in question.

Une telle configuration localisée et escamotée des liaisons 5 permet de simplifier l'assemblage des platines 4 avec le corps du répartiteur 1' et de limiter les interférences avec l'environnement extérieur entourant le dispositif de répartiteur 1.Such a localized and retracted configuration of the connections 5 makes it possible to simplify the assembly of the plates 4 with the body of the distributor 1 'and to limit the interference with the external environment surrounding the distributor device 1.

En accord avec un mode de construction possible de l'invention, ressortant des figures des dessins annexés, notamment des figures 6 et 7, les deux corps de platine 4' sont pourvus, chacun, d'au moins deux bras latéraux 6 munis, au niveau de leurs extrémités libres, d'au moins une portion d'arbre ou d'axe 7 destinée à être reçue chacune dans un site 8 correspondant formé sur le corps 1' du répartiteur 1, ce avec faculté de translation et de pivotement limité(e)s, les différentes portions d'arbre ou d'axe 7, préférentiellement formées d'un seul tenant avec les bras 6 et le corps de platine 4', étant mutuellement alignées.In accordance with a possible embodiment of the invention, as shown in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in particular figures 6 and 7 the two platinum bodies 4 'are each provided with at least two lateral arms 6 provided at their free ends with at least one shaft portion or shaft portion 7 to be received each in a corresponding site 8 formed on the body 1 'of the distributor 1, this with limited translational and pivoting capability (e) s, the various shaft or axis portions 7, preferably formed integrally with the arms 6 and the platinum body 4 ', being mutually aligned.

Les deux platines 4 étant normalement disposées dans des configurations analogues par rapport au corps 1' du répartiteur, les portions d'arbre ou d'axe 7 sont parfaitement alignées entre elles et forment un axe de pivotement X continu d'un seul tenant. Toutefois, des déplacements en translation différents dans les paliers libres 8 desdites portions 7, résultant de déplacement en translation différenciés des corps de platine 4', peuvent aboutir à un dédoublement dudit axe de pivotement en deux axes sensiblement parallèles, associés chacun à l'une des platines 4.The two plates 4 are normally arranged in similar configurations relative to the body 1 'of the distributor, the shaft portions or axis 7 are perfectly aligned with each other and form a continuous pivot axis X in one piece. However, different displacements in translation in the free bearings 8 of said portions 7, resulting from differentiated displacement in translation of the platinum bodies 4 ', can lead to a duplication of said pivot axis in two substantially parallel axes, each associated with one turntables 4.

Selon une variante de réalisation pratique préférée de l'invention, chaque site 8 de réception et de rétention consiste en un palier ouvert et partiellement libre autorisant l'introduction d'une portion d'arbre ou d'axe 7 par déformation élastique, radialement par rapport à l'axe dudit palier.According to a preferred practical variant embodiment of the invention, each reception and retention site 8 consists of an open and partially free bearing allowing the introduction of a shaft or axis portion 7 by elastic deformation, radially by relative to the axis of said bearing.
