Description
Dispositif de désembuage d'un véhicule automobile, comprenant un boîtier répartiteur avec caisson mobile Demisting device for a motor vehicle, comprising a distribution box with a mobile box
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de désembuage d'un véhicule automobile et plus particulièrement un boîtier répartiteur typiquement intégré à la planche de bord d'un véhicule. Les véhicules automobiles sont classiquement pourvus d'un boîtier répartiteur- constituant un réseau de conduits ou canalisations intégrés à la planche de bord. En référence à la figure 4 illustrant un boîtier répartiteur classique, celui-ci comporte dans sa partie inférieure une entrée d'air soufflé E raccordée à un dispositif de ventilation --- chauffage - climatisation (non représenté) du véhicule. Dans ses parties latérales, le boîtier répartiteur B.R comporte des sorties d'air latérales SL distribuant l'air soufflé vers des vitres latérales du véhicule. Dans sa partie centrale et vers l'avant du véhicule, le boîtier répartiteur comporte une sortie d'air centrale SC distribuant l'air soufflé vers une frise de désembuage (non représentée) du pare-brise du véhicule. La frise de désembuage doit être placée au plus près du pare-brise pour garantir le minimum de dispersion d'air et optimise le désembuage du pare-brise. The present invention relates to a demisting device of a motor vehicle and more particularly to a distribution box typically integrated in the dashboard of a vehicle. Motor vehicles are conventionally provided with a splitter box constituting a network of ducts or pipes integrated into the dashboard. Referring to Figure 4 illustrating a conventional distribution box, it comprises in its lower part a blown air inlet E connected to a ventilation device --- heating - air conditioning (not shown) of the vehicle. In its lateral parts, the distribution box B.R has side air outlets SL distributing the air blown towards side windows of the vehicle. In its central part and towards the front of the vehicle, the distribution box includes a central air outlet SC distributing the air blown to a defogging frieze (not shown) of the windshield of the vehicle. The defogging frieze must be placed as close as possible to the windshield to guarantee the minimum of air dispersion and optimizes the defogging of the windshield.
De façon connue et comme illustré aux figures 1 et 2, le montage d'une planche bord PB dans la caisse G d'un véhicule s'effectue comme suit : la planche de bord BP est montée sur un appareillage d'assistance A permettant le déplacement et la mise e position de Sa planche de bord PB dans la caisse C. La planche de bord est apprêtée et. présentée sur te côté de la caisse (figure 1 } de façon à être introduite latéralement dans fa caisse, en traversant l'encadrement de porte avant gauche du véhicule (avant mise en place de la porte). La planche d bord est introduite dans la caisse suivant la direction transversale du véhicule, et alignée par rapport à la caisse. La planche de bord PB est ensuite indexée et fixée par rapport à la caisse. Un déplacement vers l'avant est imprimé à la planche de bord T FR2013/052166 In known manner and as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mounting of a PB board in the body G of a vehicle is carried out as follows: the BP instrument panel is mounted on an assistance apparatus A allowing the moving and placing the dashboard PB in the body C. The dashboard is primed and. shown on the side of the box (figure 1) so that it can be inserted laterally into the box, through the left front door frame of the vehicle (before putting the door in place). body in the transverse direction of the vehicle, and aligned with the body, the PB instrument panel is then indexed and fixed to the body, a forward movement is printed on the dashboard T FR2013 / 052166
pour mettre en œuvre un système dlndexacje et de pré-maintien (par exemple des doigts issus de la structure de caisse pénètrent clans des formes en U au extrémités de la traverse' de planche de bord), La planche de bord est ensuite fixée à la caisse par vissage. Dans certains cas, ia position définitive de la frise de désembuage, que Ton souhaite au plus près du pare-brise, impose de réaliser un boitier répartiteur en plusieurs parties de manière à pouvoir traverser l'encadrement de porte. En effet, les dimensions hors-tout de fa planche de bord (en suivant ia direction longitudinale du véhicule) et d'une partie du dispositif d'assistance temporairement introduit dans la caisse pour soutenir et guider la planche de bord, sont parfois supérieures à ia largeur de l'encadrement de porte, ce qui ne permet pas de traverser ee dernier. Un jeu minimal est à prévoir à l'avant et en dessous de la planche de bord, de même qu'à l'arrière de la planche de bord entre l'appareillage d'assistance et l'encadrement de porte (figure 2), pour autoriser le passage de la planche de bord. Pour contourner cette difficulté, il est connu comme illustré aux figures .5 et 6 de prévoir un boîtier répartiteur constitué de plusieurs parties assemblées entre elles pour former l'ensemble du réseau de conduits acheminant l'air aux différentes sorties. to implement a dlndexacje system and pre-maintenance (e.g., fingers from the body structure penetrate clans U-shapes in ends of the cross' dashboard) The dashboard is then attached to the crate by screwing. In certain cases, the definitive position of the defogging frieze, which is desired closer to the windshield, requires the realization of a splitter box in several parts so as to pass through the door frame. Indeed, the overall dimensions of the dashboard (along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle) and a portion of the assistance device temporarily introduced into the body to support and guide the dashboard, are sometimes greater than the width of the door frame, which does not allow to cross the latter. A minimum clearance is provided at the front and below the dashboard, so that the back of the instrument panel between the apparatus support and the door frame (2), to allow the passage of the dashboard. To circumvent this difficulty, it is known as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 to provide a splitter box consisting of several parts assembled together to form the entire duct network conveying the air to the different outlets.
Les zones de raccordement entre les différentes parties comportent des formes à assemblages glissants permettant d'absorber les dispersions. The connection areas between the different parts have forms with sliding assemblies for absorbing dispersions.
En revanche ce type de boîtier répartiteur n'est pas adapté à des profils différents de véhicule automobile, construits â partir d'une même plate-forme, qui se distinguent entre autres par des pare-brises ayant une implantation et une géométrie spécifique à chaque profil. La figure 3 iliustre différentes géométries de pare-brise P par rapport à une même position du conducteur. Les pare-brise P de chaque profil de véhicule sont plus ou moins avancés selon le style et l'architecture de chaque type ou profil de véhicule. En conséquence, ia frise F de désembuage intégrée à la planche de bord devrait occuper une position longitudinale correspondant à chaque position et géométrie de pare-brise P. A titre illustratif, on a schérnatiquement représenté à la figure 3 différentes frises F de désembuage correctement positionnées, et donc plus ou moins avancées, en fonction des différentes positions de pare-brise P, Ceci amène à concevoir et à fabriquer des planches de bord différentes afin de les adapter aux contraintes énoncées ci-dessus. However, this type of splitter box is not suitable for different motor vehicle profiles, built from the same platform, which are distinguished inter alia windshields having a specific location and geometry at each profile. Figure 3 iliustre different windshield geometries P with respect to the same position of the driver. The windshields P of each vehicle profile are more or less advanced depending on the style and architecture of each type or vehicle profile. Consequently, the defogging frieze F integrated in the dashboard should occupy a longitudinal position corresponding to each windshield position and geometry P. As an illustration, schematically represented in FIG. 3 are various defogging friezes F correctly positioned. , and therefore more or less advanced, depending on the different windshield positions P, This leads to design and manufacture different instrument panels to adapt them to the constraints set out above.
Ceci augmente la diversité des composants et équipements à fabriquer et augmente significafivement les coûts, This increases the diversity of components and equipment to be manufactured and significantly increases costs,
Le but de l'invention est de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un dispositif de désembuage et une planche de bord Intégrant ce dispositif, qui soit adaptés à un passage au travers d'un encadrement de porte dont la largeur est inférieur aux dimensions hors-tout de la planche de bord et du dispositif d'assistance, considérées suivant Sa direction longitudinale du véhicule, L'invention vise également à proposer un dispositif de désembuage et une planche de bord adaptés à un montage adéquat dans différents profils de véhicules basés sur une même plate-forme. Le montage adéquat s'entend ici par rapport aux différentes positions et géométries du pare-brise de ces différents profils de véhicules. A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de désembuage d'un véhicule automobile, comprenant un boîtier répartiteur pourvu d'une entrée d'air recevant de l'air soufflé issu d'un dispositif de ventilation - chauffage - climatisation du véhiçuîe, de sorties d'air latérales distribuant l'air soufflé vers des vitres latérales du véhicule, et d'au moins une sortie d'air centrale distribuant l'air soufflé vers une frise de désembuage du pare-brise du véhicule, caractérisé en ce que le boîtier répartiteur comporte un caisson intégrant la sortie d'air centrale, monté couSissant par rapport â une structure fixe du boîtier répartiteur, entre une position arrière rétractée dans la structure fixe et une position avant déployée en avant de la structure fixe de façon à permettre un réglage de la position longitudinale de la sortie d'air centrale relativement à une position déterminée de la structure fixe.The object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages by proposing a defogging device and an instrument panel incorporating this device, which is adapted to a passage through a door frame whose width is smaller than the overall dimensions The invention also aims at providing a defogging device and a dashboard adapted to an appropriate mounting in different vehicle profiles based on the same one of the vehicle. platform. The appropriate arrangement here refers to the different positions and geometries of the windshield of these different vehicle profiles. To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for defogging a motor vehicle, comprising a distribution box provided with an air intake receiving blown air from a ventilation - heating - air conditioning device. motor, lateral air outlets distributing the blown air to side windows of the vehicle, and at least one central air outlet distributing the blown air to a defogging frieze of the windshield of the vehicle, characterized in that that the distribution box comprises a box incorporating the central air outlet mounted mounted relative to a fixed structure of the distribution box, between a rear position retracted into the fixed structure and a forward position deployed forward of the fixed structure so to allow adjustment of the longitudinal position of the central air outlet relative to a determined position of the fixed structure.
Ainsi, le caisson coulissant forme un élément réglable suivant la direction longitudinale du véhicule, adapté au passage de la planche de bord au travers de l'encadrement de porte, et adapté à une implantation au plus près du pare-brise du véhicule sur lequel il est monté. Un même type de planche de bord intégrant un tel dispositif de désembuage selon l'invention peut de ce fait être installé sur des véhicules différents se distinguant entre autre par une architecture spécifiqu niveau du pare-brise. Thus, the sliding box forms an adjustable element in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, adapted to the passage of the dashboard through the door frame, and adapted to a location as close to the windshield of the vehicle on which it has climbed. The same type of dashboard incorporating such a defogging device according to the invention can therefore be installed on different vehicles distinguished among others by a specific architecture level of the windshield.
