Description

Charnière d'articulation d'un ouvrant du type capot de fermeture du compartiment moteur sur une caisse de véhicule automobile  Hinge hinge of an opening of the type closing hood of the engine compartment on a motor vehicle body
[0001 ] La présente invention concerne une charnière pour un ouvrant de véhicule automobile comprenant une structure de caisse sur laquelle sont assemblées des organes de carrosserie, tel un ouvrant, ladite structure de caisse étant obtenue à partir d'un soubassement et au moins un côté d'habitacle assemblés ensemble, l'ouvrant étant monté articulé sur la structure de caisse au moyen de ladite au moins une charnière.  The present invention relates to a hinge for an opening of a motor vehicle comprising a body structure on which are assembled body members, such as an opening, said body structure being obtained from a base and at least one side cockpit assembly together, the opening being mounted hinged to the body structure by means of said at least one hinge.
[0002] Il est connu des charnières d'articulation comportant une partie fixe définissant un axe de rotation autour duquel un charnon mobile est apte à pivoter afin de déplacer un ouvrant tel qu'un capot de fermeture d'un compartiment moteur entre une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture. It is known articulation hinges having a fixed portion defining an axis of rotation about which a movable knuckle is pivotable to move an opening such as a closing cap of a motor compartment between a position of opening and a closed position.
[0003] Les charnières d'articulation d'un capot de fermeture d'un compartiment moteur sont bien souvent fabriquées à partir d'un matériau peu résistant à la déformation ce qui permet une mise en forme aisée et qui présente l'avantage d'être moins coûteux. The articulation hinges of a closing cap of a motor compartment are often made from a material with little resistance to deformation which allows easy formatting and has the advantage of be less expensive.
[0004] De telles charnières n'assurent pas un maintien suffisant du capot qu'elles relient à la structure de caisse du véhicule, lors d'un choc du véhicule avec un obstacle, ce qui engendre un démérite du véhicule par rapport à certaines normes réglementaires. Such hinges do not ensure sufficient maintenance of the cover they connect to the body structure of the vehicle, during a shock of the vehicle with an obstacle, which causes demerit of the vehicle compared to certain standards regulations.
[0005] En fait, il a été relevé que les charnières ne s'opposent pas suffisamment au déplacement en latéral du capot lors d'un choc, ce qui augmente d'autant le risque de déformation des pièces de carrosserie environnantes, telle qu'une aile latérale avant. In fact, it was noted that the hinges do not oppose the lateral movement of the hood during a shock, which increases the risk of deformation of the surrounding body parts, such as a front side wing.
[0006] En particulier, lors d'un choc de type choc réparabilité avant que l'on définit comme un choc à 16 km/h face à un mur rigide avec un angle de 10° avec 40% de recouvrement, le déplacement en latéral du capot (selon l'axe transversal Y du véhicule) provoque également la déformation de l'aile et donc entraîne un coût de réparation supplémentaire lié au remplacement ou à la réparation de l'aile. [0007] De manière à éviter ce débattement en Y, une possibilité consiste à rigidifier la partie mobile ou charnon mobile de la charnière. Toutefois, une telle rigidification entraîne une dégradation des performances choc tête-piéton dans la mesure où la course de déformation du charnon mobile entre le capot et les éléments du moteur est alors très restreinte. In particular, during a crash-type impact shock before it is defined as a shock at 16 km / h against a rigid wall with an angle of 10 ° with 40% overlap, lateral displacement the hood (along the transverse axis Y of the vehicle) also causes the deformation of the wing and therefore causes an additional cost of repair related to the replacement or repair of the wing. In order to avoid this deflection in Y, one possibility is to stiffen the movable part or moving hinge of the hinge. However, such stiffening leads to a degradation of the head-to-pedestrian shock performance in that the deformation stroke of the moving knuckle between the hood and the engine elements is then very limited.
[0008] Dans FR 2 929 318, on a proposé un dispositif de retenue d'un ouvrant comprenant une structure de caisse sur laquelle sont assemblées des organes de carrosserie, tel un ouvrant, ladite structure de caisse étant obtenue à partir d'un soubassement et au moins un côté d'habitacle assemblés ensemble, l'ouvrant étant monté articulé sur la structure de caisse au moyen d'au moins une charnière et qui comprend au moins une pièce formant butée destinée à s'opposer au déplacement en latéral d'au moins un des organes de carrosserie lors d'un choc, chaque pièce formant butée étant réalisée dans un matériau de résistance à la déformation plus élevée que le matériau utilisé pour la fabrication de ladite structure de caisse. Cette pièce formant butée peut ainsi comprendre une cloison qui s'étend en tout ou partie en saillie verticale hors d'une des parties fixe et mobile de la charnière d'articulation de l'ouvrant, ladite cloison comportant une surface extérieure destinée à venir lors d'un choc, directement en appui contre l'autre des parties de la charnière. In FR 2 929 318, there is provided a device for retaining an opening comprising a body structure on which are assembled body members, such as an opening, said body structure being obtained from a base and at least one side of the cabin assembled together, the opening being articulated on the body structure by means of at least one hinge and which comprises at least one piece forming a stop intended to oppose the lateral displacement of at least one of the body members during a shock, each piece forming a stop being made of a material of greater resistance to deformation than the material used for the manufacture of said body structure. This abutment piece may thus comprise a partition which extends in all or part in vertical projection out of one of the fixed and movable parts of the hinge of articulation of the opening, said partition comprising an outer surface intended to come during a shock, directly against the other parts of the hinge.
[0009] Toutefois, un tel dispositif de butée n'est positionnable qu'à proximité de l'articulation entre la partie fixe et la partie mobile d'une charnière et ne pourrait être mis en œuvre de manière efficace dans le cas d'une charnière pourvue d'un charnon mobile en col de cygne, c'est-à-dire présentant deux parties courbes de courbures inversées. Par ailleurs, le matériau de cette pièce formant butée étant d'une résistance à la déformation plus élevée, ceci entraîne une dégradation des performances choc tête-piéton en rigidifiant la charnière. However, such a stop device is positionable only near the articulation between the fixed part and the movable part of a hinge and could not be implemented effectively in the case of a hinge provided with a gooseneck moving knuckle, that is to say having two curved portions of inverted curvatures. Furthermore, the material of this piece forming a stop having a higher resistance to deformation, this leads to a degradation of the head-pedestrian shock performance by stiffening the hinge.
[0010] La présente invention a donc pour but de proposer une charnière d'articulation d'un ouvrant tel qu'un capot de compartiment moteur sur une caisse de véhicule automobile, qui permet avantageusement d'empêcher le déplacement en Y du capot en cas de choc réparabilité tout en garantissant une performance choc tête-piéton satisfaisante. [001 1 ] A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une charnière d'articulation d'un ouvrant type capot de fermeture du compartiment moteur sur une caisse de véhicule automobile, ladite charnière comportant une partie fixe et une partie mobile, la partie mobile étant montée à l'une de ses extrémités entraînable en rotation autour d'un axe de pivotement prévu à une extrémité de la partie fixe entre une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture de la charnière, caractérisée en ce que la partie mobile présente une patte s'étendant en saillie de ladite partie mobile vers la partie fixe, dans le plan de pivotement de la charnière, ladite patte étant destinée à s'étendre le long d'un élément de structure de la caisse lorsque la charnière est en position de fermeture. The present invention therefore aims to provide a hinge hinge of an opening such as a motor compartment cover on a motor vehicle body, which advantageously prevents the Y-movement of the hood in case of repairable shock while guaranteeing a satisfactory head-pedestrian shock performance. [001 1] For this purpose, the invention relates to a hinge hinge of an opening type closing hood of the engine compartment on a motor vehicle body, said hinge having a fixed part and a movable part, the part mobile device being mounted at one of its ends drivable in rotation about a pivot axis provided at one end of the fixed part between an open position and a closed position of the hinge, characterized in that the movable part has a lug projecting from said movable portion to the fixed portion, in the pivot plane of the hinge, said lug being intended to extend along a structural element of the body when the hinge is in closing position.
[0012] Ainsi, de manière avantageuse, lors du montage d'une telle charnière sur un véhicule automobile, la patte ménagée en saillie de ladite partie mobile de la charnière et s'étendant dans le plan de pivotement de la charnière est, de préférence, ménagée plutôt proche de l'extrémité libre de la partie mobile, c'est-à- dire écartée de la liaison partie mobile/partie fixe. Cette patte est en outre agencée pour s'étendre en regard d'un élément de structure de la caisse lorsque la charnière est en position de fermeture et, en cas de choc du type réparabilité, cette patte peut venir en butée contre cet élément de structure du véhicule de manière à éviter ainsi, le déversement du capot de fermeture en Y. Thus, advantageously, during the assembly of such a hinge on a motor vehicle, the lug protruding from said movable portion of the hinge and extending in the pivot plane of the hinge is preferably , arranged rather close to the free end of the movable part, that is to say away from the connection moving part / fixed part. This tab is further arranged to extend facing a structural element of the body when the hinge is in the closed position and, in case of impact of the type repairability, this tab can abut against this structural element of the vehicle so as to avoid spillage of the Y-closing hood.
[0013] Ainsi, lorsqu'un véhicule équipé d'une charnière selon l'invention entre en contact avec un obstacle selon un choc type mur réparabilité, l'angle d'impact de 10° a tendance à faire déverser le capot en Y. Lors du déversement du capot en Y, la patte vient en butée contre l'élément de caisse du véhicule ce qui permet de limiter voire éviter le déversement en Y et en particulier éviter l'endommagement de l'aile. Thus, when a vehicle equipped with a hinge according to the invention comes into contact with an obstacle according to a wall repair type shock, the angle of impact of 10 ° tends to spill the cover Y. When spilling the Y-shaped hood, the lug abuts against the body element of the vehicle, which makes it possible to limit or even prevent the Y-spill and in particular to prevent damage to the wing.
[0014] Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, la partie mobile de la charnière présente une forme dite en col de cygne, c'est-à-dire présentant deux portions courbes à courbure inverse. La première courbe de la partie mobile correspond à une portion d'accrochage montée à pivotement autour d'un axe de la partie fixe de la charnière puis la seconde courbe correspond à l'extrémité de la partie mobile sur laquelle sera fixée le capot, la patte s'étendant en saillie radialement à l'intérieur de la seconde courbe du côté opposé au capot, dans le plan de pivotement de ladite partie mobile par rapport à la partie fixe. [0015] Une telle charnière permet donc d'éviter le déversement en Y du capot en cas d'un choc dit de réparabilité mais en outre garantit une bonne performance en cas de choc tête piéton puisque la course de déformation de la partie mobile en col de cygne est suffisante. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the movable portion of the hinge has a shape called gooseneck, that is to say having two curved portions with inverse curvature. The first curve of the movable portion corresponds to a hooking portion pivotally mounted about an axis of the fixed portion of the hinge and the second curve corresponds to the end of the movable part on which the cover will be fixed, the tab extending radially projecting inside the second curve of the side opposite the hood, in the plane of pivoting of said movable portion relative to the fixed part. Such a hinge thus avoids spillage Y of the hood in case of a shock said repairability but also ensures good performance in case of pedestrian head shock since the deformation stroke of the mobile part in the neck Swan is sufficient.
L'invention a également pour objet un ensemble d'articulation d'un ouvrant sur une caisse de véhicule automobile, comprenant une charnière selon l'invention et un support de fixation de la charnière, caractérisé en ce que le support de fixation comprend une plaque de fixation permettant de fixer la partie fixe de la charnière et présente une paroi s'étendant perpendiculairement à ladite plaque de fixation, la partie mobile de la charnière pourvue de la patte étant agencée pour s'étendre le long de la partie perpendiculaire du support de fixation en position fermée de la charnière. The invention also relates to a hinge assembly of an opening on a motor vehicle body, comprising a hinge according to the invention and a support for fixing the hinge, characterized in that the fixing support comprises a plate fixing means for fixing the fixed part of the hinge and has a wall extending perpendicularly to said fixing plate, the movable part of the hinge provided with the tab being arranged to extend along the perpendicular part of the support of fixing in the closed position of the hinge.
[0016] Ainsi de manière avantageuse, le support de fixation permet de fixer la charnière sur des éléments de structure de la caisse et constitue un élément de structure. Ainsi, la plaque de fixation du support permet de fixer la charnière en Z (axe vertical du véhicule) sur la caisse du véhicule tandis que la paroi perpendiculaire à la plaque de fixation dudit support permet par sa face externe, une fixation en Y sur un élément de structure de la caisse. Lorsque l'ouvrant qui est fixé sur la partie mobile de la charnière est en position fermée, la patte en saillie du charnon mobile s'étend le long de la face interne de la paroi du support de fixation, ainsi interposée entre la patte et un élément de structure sur lequel le support est fixé et, en cas de choc frontal contre un mur, le capot ou ouvrant qui tend à être entraîner en translation selon la direction Y du véhicule est empêché par la patte qui vient en appui contre la paroi du support de fixation de l'articulation, lui-même fixé sur un élément de structure de la caisse. Ainsi, lors d'un choc, la patte vient en butée contre la paroi du support de fixation interposée entre ladite patte et un élément de la caisse, ce qui renforce la retenue du capot et évite son déversement en Y. Thus advantageously, the mounting bracket allows to fix the hinge on structural elements of the body and is a structural element. Thus, the mounting plate of the support makes it possible to fix the Z-shaped hinge (vertical axis of the vehicle) on the body of the vehicle while the wall perpendicular to the fixing plate of said support allows, by its external face, a Y-attachment on a structural element of the body. When the opening which is fixed on the movable part of the hinge is in the closed position, the projecting tab of the movable knuckle extends along the inner face of the wall of the fixing support, thus interposed between the tab and a structural element on which the support is fixed and, in the event of a frontal impact against a wall, the hood or opening which tends to be driven in translation in the Y direction of the vehicle is prevented by the tab which bears against the wall of the vehicle. support for fixing the hinge, itself fixed on a structural element of the body. Thus, during an impact, the tab abuts against the wall of the mounting bracket interposed between said tab and a body member, which reinforces the retention of the hood and prevents spillage Y.
[0017] De cette manière, on préserve encore plus avantageusement l'aile et le côté d'habitacle ce qui améliore la réparabilité puisque les coûts de réparation sont limités à la partie avant du véhicule et ne comprennent plus les coûts de l'aile ou de côté d'habitacle comme cela était le cas auparavant. [0018] Comme cité précédemment, la patte peut être intégrée directement au charnon mobile afin de réduire le nombre de pièces mais également afin de faciliter l'assemblage du capot. In this way, it still more advantageously preserves the wing and the cockpit side which improves the repairability since the repair costs are limited to the front of the vehicle and no longer include the costs of the wing or cockpit side as was the case before. As mentioned above, the tab can be integrated directly to the moving knuckle to reduce the number of parts but also to facilitate the assembly of the cover.
[0019] De plus, une charnière selon l'invention peut être avantageusement utilisée uniquement du côté opposé au choc. L'ajout de masse est donc très faible. In addition, a hinge according to the invention can be advantageously used only on the opposite side to the shock. The mass addition is therefore very small.
[0020] L'invention concerne aussi un véhicule automobile comportant un ouvrant tel qu'un capot de fermeture du compartiment moteur articulé sur la caisse du véhicule à l'aide de charnières d'articulation d'ouvrant dont au moins l'une est une charnière d'articulation selon l'invention ainsi qu'un véhicule automobile comportant un ouvrant tel qu'un capot de fermeture du compartiment moteur articulé sur la caisse du véhicule à l'aide d'au moins un ensemble d'articulation d'ouvrant selon l'invention. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising an opening such as a closing cap of the engine compartment hinged to the vehicle body by means of hinge sash hinges of which at least one is a hinge hinge according to the invention and a motor vehicle comprising an opening such as a closing cap of the engine compartment hinged to the vehicle body using at least one hinge assembly according to the invention.
[0021 ] D'autres avantages et particularités de l'invention ressortent de la description de modes de réalisation faite ci-après en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels : Other advantages and features of the invention emerge from the description of embodiments given below with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
[0022] La figure 1 est une représentation schématique partielle d'un véhicule automobile vu de côté, comportant un dispositif de retenue d'un ouvrant, conforme à l'invention, Figure 1 is a partial schematic representation of a motor vehicle seen from the side, comprising a device for retaining an opening, according to the invention,
[0023] la figure 2 est un vue en perspective latérale d'un ensemble d'articulation selon l'invention ; [0023] Figure 2 is a side perspective view of a hinge assembly according to the invention;
[0024] la figure 3 est une vue en perspective du support de fixation de l'ensemble d'articulation de la figure 2 ; Figure 3 is a perspective view of the fixing bracket of the hinge assembly of Figure 2;
[0025] la figure 4 est une vue en perspective éclatée de la charnière de l'ensemble d'articulation de la figure 2. Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the hinge of the hinge assembly of Figure 2.
[0026] En se reportant à la figure 1 , une zone D délimitée par le trait mixte localise une zone d'implantation possible sur un véhicule 1 , d'une charnière d'un ouvrant 2, qui est avantageusement destiné à protéger d'autres pièces environnantes de carrosserie, telle une aile 3 avant, lors d'un choc entre le véhicule et un obstacle. [0027] L'ouvrant 2 est un capot de fermeture d'un compartiment moteur situé en partie avant du véhicule, qui est une pièce de carrosserie latéralement prolongée par des ailes avant droite et gauche. Seule l'aile 3 avant droite est représentée à la figure 1 , sachant que par symétrie par rapport à un plan médian s'étendant parallèlement à un axe longitudinal au véhicule, une aile avant gauche est présente. Referring to Figure 1, a zone D defined by the mixed line locates a possible implantation area on a vehicle 1, a hinge of an opening 2, which is advantageously intended to protect others surrounding body parts, such as a wing 3 before, during a collision between the vehicle and an obstacle. The opening 2 is a closing cap of a motor compartment located at the front of the vehicle, which is a bodywork part laterally extended by front wings right and left. Only the front right wing 3 is shown in Figure 1, knowing that by symmetry with respect to a median plane extending parallel to a longitudinal axis to the vehicle, a left front wing is present.
[0028] Dans ce qui suit, les termes « gauche », « droite », « avant » et « arrière » s'entendent selon un déplacement normal du véhicule. C'est de manière non limitative et dans un souci de clarté que, dans ce qui suit, seul l'un des côtés du véhicule est décrit, sachant bien entendu que par symétrie, l'autre côté du véhicule peut être concerné par le même détail technique. In what follows, the terms "left", "right", "front" and "rear" mean according to a normal movement of the vehicle. It is in a nonlimiting manner and for the sake of clarity that, in what follows, only one side of the vehicle is described, knowing of course that by symmetry, the other side of the vehicle may be affected by the same technical detail.
[0029] L'ensemble d'articulation de l'ouvrant comprend une charnière d'articulation 4 et un support de fixation de 5 de ladite charnière 4, cet ensemble est de manière générale disposée dans la zone D, c'est-à-dire proche d'une zone arrière du capot moteur 2. The hinge assembly of the opening comprises a hinge hinge 4 and a fixing bracket 5 of said hinge 4, this assembly is generally arranged in the area D, that is to say say close to a rear area of the bonnet 2.
[0030] Le véhicule automobile comprend de préférence deux charnières 4 disposées dans la zone D du véhicule, chaque charnière ayant pour fonction principale d'assurer l'ouverture et la fermeture du compartiment moteur par le déplacement respectivement vers le haut et le bas du capot 2. Pour ce faire, la charnière 4 comprend un axe d'articulation A autour duquel est apte à se mouvoir en rotation le capot 2. The motor vehicle preferably comprises two hinges 4 arranged in the area D of the vehicle, each hinge having the main function of ensuring the opening and closing of the engine compartment by moving respectively up and down the hood 2. To do this, the hinge 4 comprises a hinge axis A around which is able to move in rotation the cover 2.
[0031 ] De conception simple et peu coûteuse, la charnière 4 a une faible résistance au choc notamment lorsque ceux-ci génèrent des efforts transversaux par rapport au véhicule. Pour éviter ainsi le flambage de la charnière 4 d'articulation du capot, qui a pour conséquence le déplacement en latéral du capot moteur qu'elle supporte, et par voie de conséquence la dégradation de l'aile avant, la charnière 4 est pourvue d'une patte 6 formant butée au déplacement latéral dudit capot moteur. Of simple and inexpensive design, the hinge 4 has a low impact resistance especially when they generate transverse forces relative to the vehicle. To avoid buckling of the bonnet articulation hinge 4, which results in the lateral displacement of the bonnet which it supports, and consequently the degradation of the front fender, the hinge 4 is provided with a lug 6 forming a stop for lateral displacement of said engine hood.
[0032] Selon l'illustration donnée en figure 2, la charnière 4 comprend une partie fixe que l'on nomme par la suite charnon fixe, qui est monté solidaire à la structure de caisse du véhicule au moyen d'un support de fixation 5. [0033] Le support de fixation 5 présente une plaque de fixation 5a permettant la mise en place du support sur un élément de la structure de caisse qui a titre d'exemple est une doublure d'aile avant non représentée et une paroi de fixation 5b s'étendant perpendiculairement à la plaque de fixation 5a et contre l'aile (non représentée), l'extrémité de la paroi 5 b étant pliée à 90° pour venir s'appuyer et se fixer sur l'aile. Ce support une fois fixé, devient un élément de structure de la caisse. According to the illustration given in FIG. 2, the hinge 4 comprises a fixed part which is subsequently called fixed knuckle, which is mounted integral with the body structure of the vehicle by means of a fastening support 5. . The mounting bracket 5 has a fixing plate 5a for the establishment of the support on an element of the body structure which is an example is a front wing liner not shown and a fixing wall 5b extending perpendicularly to the fixing plate 5a and against the wing (not shown), the end of the wall 5b being bent at 90 ° to come to rest and attach to the wing. Once fixed, this support becomes a structural element of the body.
[0034] Cette partie fixe 7 de la charnière 4 comprend une base 7a de fixation destinée à être disposée sur la plaque de fixation 5a du support de fixation 5. La partie fixe 7 comprend en outre s'étendant perpendiculairement de la base de fixation 7a, une partie de liaison 7b comportant l'axe A autour duquel s'articule la partie mobile 8 de la charnière 4, que l'on nomme ci-après charnon mobile 8. This fixed part 7 of the hinge 4 comprises a fixing base 7a intended to be disposed on the fixing plate 5a of the fixing support 5. The fixed part 7 further comprises extending perpendicularly from the fixing base 7a a connecting part 7b comprising the axis A around which the mobile part 8 of the hinge 4, which is hereinafter called moving knuckle 8, is articulated.
[0035] La partie 7b de liaison est d'orientation sensiblement verticale en Z, une fois montée, et comprend à son extrémité, au niveau d'un sommet, une ouverture formant un palier pour la rotation selon l'axe A d'une tige de forme complémentaire appartenant audit charnon mobile 8. The connecting portion 7b is substantially vertical Z-shaped, once mounted, and comprises at its end, at a vertex, an opening forming a bearing for the rotation along the axis A of a complementary shape rod belonging to said moving knuckle 8.
[0036] La tige du charnon mobile 8 s'étend transversalement vers l'extérieur du véhicule. La tige est de préférence disposée à l'extrémité arrière 8a du charnon mobile 8, au niveau d'un sommet. L'extrémité opposée 8d, située alors à l'avant du charnon mobile 8, est liée de manière solidaire au capot 2 moteur, au moyen d'une vis de serrage par exemple. The stem of the moving knuckle 8 extends transversely towards the outside of the vehicle. The rod is preferably disposed at the rear end 8a of the movable knuckle 8, at a vertex. The opposite end 8d, then located at the front of the movable knuckle 8, is integrally connected to the engine hood 2, by means of a clamping screw for example.
[0037] L'ouvrant 2 est composé d'une partie ornementale qui est visible de l'extérieur du véhicule, que l'on nomme aussi peau extérieure, et d'une partie rigide nommée aussi doublure d'ouvrant, cette dernière étant liée audit charnon mobile 8. The opening 2 is composed of an ornamental part which is visible from the outside of the vehicle, which is also called outer skin, and a rigid part also called opening lining, the latter being linked mobile knuckle audit 8.
[0038] Le charnon mobile 8 présente de préférence une forme en col de cygne c'est- à-dire présentant deux parties courbes à courbure inverse. Ainsi, le charnon 8 présente une extrémité pourvue de la tige lui permettant d'être monté à pivotement sur la partie fixe 7. Cette extrémité 8a s'étend le long de la partie fixe 7 de la charnière 4 vers la base de fixation 7a de la partie fixe puis forme une première courbe 8b en s'écartant de la base de fixation 7a avant de former une seconde courbe de courbure inverse 8c, de sorte que la seconde extrémité 8d du charnon mobile 8 s'étend sensiblement parallèlement à la plaque de fixation 5a et présente des moyens de fixation du capot 2. The movable knuckle 8 preferably has a gooseneck shape that is to say having two curved portions with reverse curvature. Thus, the knuckle 8 has an end provided with the rod allowing it to be pivotally mounted on the fixed part 7. This end 8a extends along the fixed part 7 of the hinge 4 towards the fixing base 7a of the fixed part then forms a first curve 8b away from the fixing base 7a before forming a second curve of inverse curvature 8c, so that the second end 8d of the knuckle mobile 8 extends substantially parallel to the fixing plate 5a and has means for fixing the cover 2.
[0039] Au niveau de cette seconde courbure est présente une patte 6 ménagée en saillie dudit charnon mobile 8 et s'étendant dans le plan de pivotement dudit charnon mobile 8 par rapport au charnon fixe 7 et en direction du support de fixation 5. At this second curvature is present a tab 6 formed projecting said movable knuckle 8 and extending in the plane of pivoting said movable knuckle 8 relative to the fixed knuckle 7 and towards the fixing support 5.
[0040] De préférence, cette patte 6 s'étend sensiblement radialement à la seconde partie courbe 8c du charnon mobile 8. Cette patte 6 forme ainsi une butée qui s'étend en saillie du charnon mobile 8 dans le plan de pivotement de la charnière et qui est positionnée sur ledit charnon mobile 8 de manière à être positionnée le long de la paroi 5b du support de fixation 5 en position de fermeture de la charnière 4. La patte 6 est ainsi destinée à venir lors d'un choc, directement en appui contre la paroi 5b du support de fixation 5. Preferably, this lug 6 extends substantially radially to the second curved portion 8c of the movable knuckle 8. This lug 6 thus forms a stop that projects from the movable knuckle 8 in the pivot plane of the hinge. and which is positioned on said movable knuckle 8 so as to be positioned along the wall 5b of the fixing support 5 in the closed position of the hinge 4. The lug 6 is thus intended to come during an impact, directly in bearing against the wall 5b of the fixing support 5.
[0041 ] La patte 6 est ainsi disposée sur la charnière 4 de telle manière qu'elle s'étend transversalement depuis le charnon mobile 8 vers le support de fixation 5 lorsque le capot 2 est en position de fermeture du compartiment moteur. Toutefois l'extrémité de la patte 6 est écartée de la plaque de fixation 5a du support 5 de sorte à ne pas empêcher une course d'affaissement (en Z) de la partie mobile de la charnière pour le choc piéton. The tab 6 is thus disposed on the hinge 4 so that it extends transversely from the movable knuckle 8 to the mounting bracket 5 when the cover 2 is in the closed position of the engine compartment. However, the end of the lug 6 is spaced from the fixing plate 5a of the support 5 so as not to prevent a sagging stroke (Z) of the movable part of the hinge for the pedestrian impact.
[0042] La patte 6 est réalisée par exemple par moulage d'une pièce avec le charnon mobile 8. The tab 6 is made for example by molding a piece with the movable knuckle 8.
[0043] Compte tenu des jeux et affleurement qu'il convient de respecter dans l'assemblage des pièces de carrosserie du véhicule, la patte 6 est écartée de la paroi du support de fixation d'un intervalle compris entre 3 et 8 mm, de préférence 3 mm. Given the clearances and outcropping that should be respected in the assembly of the bodywork parts of the vehicle, the tab 6 is spaced from the wall of the fixing bracket with an interval of between 3 and 8 mm, of preferably 3 mm.
[0044] Avantageusement, un intervalle aussi faible limite toute inertie du capot moteur lors d'un choc, ce qui permet de charger directement la patte 6 tout en limitant les risques de dispersion des efforts du choc. Advantageously, such a low interval limits any inertia of the engine hood during a shock, which allows to directly load the lug 6 while limiting the risk of dispersion of the shock forces.
[0045] L'ensemble d'articulation selon l'invention permet d'obtenir un bon compromis entre le choc piéton tête et le choc réparabilité qu'on ne peut obtenir en rigidifiant les charnières. En effet, la charnière et l'ensemble d'articulation selon l'invention laissent libre l'affaissement du capot et des charnières, indispensable pour le choc piéton tête. The hinge assembly of the invention makes it possible to obtain a good compromise between the head pedestrian impact and the repairability shock that can not be obtained by stiffening the hinges. Indeed, the hinge and the hinge assembly according to the invention leave free sagging hood and hinges, essential for pedestrian impact head.
