Description

L'invention a trait au domaine des véhicules automobiles, plus particulièrement au domaine des commandes d'ouverture extérieure d'ouvrant de véhicule automobile.The invention relates to the field of motor vehicles, more particularly to the field of controls for the exterior opening of a motor vehicle door.

Les normes en cas de chocs latéraux exigent que les poignées de commande d'ouverture extérieure d'ouvrant de véhicule restent fermées en cas de tels chocs.The standards in the event of side impacts require that the vehicle opening exterior opening control handles remain closed in the event of such impacts.

Le document de brevet publié WO 2014/055902 A1 divulgue une commande d'ouverture extérieure d'ouvrant de véhicule automobile comprenant un système de blocage inertiel en cas de choc latéral sur l'ouvrant. Le système comprend un élément inertiel associé au cadre de montage de la poignée. L'élément inertiel a un centre de gravité décalé par rapport à son axe de rotation et est configuré pour pivoter entre une position de repos où il permet l'ouverture de l'ouvrant et une position de blocage de l'ouvrant, en cas de choc latéral.The published patent document WO 2014/055902 A1 discloses an exterior opening control for a motor vehicle door comprising an inertial blocking system in the event of a side impact on the door. The system includes an inertial element associated with the handle mounting frame. The inertial element has a center of gravity offset with respect to its axis of rotation and is configured to pivot between a rest position where it allows the opening of the sash and a blocking position of the sash, in the event of side impact.

Le document de brevet publié EP 1 766 164 B1 divulgue une commande d'ouverture extérieure de véhicule automobile comprenant une poignée articulée avec une roue oscillante. La commande comprend un système de blocage inertiel de l'ouvrant en cas de choc latéral. Le système comprend un balancier pourvu d'un élément inertiel, ledit balancier étant configuré pour pivoter d'une position de repos vers une position active en cas de choc latéral, dans laquelle il empêche l'ouverture de la commande extérieure. Le balancier comprend un ergot et une butée. En cas de choc, le balancier bascule et la butée intercepte un épaulement de la roue afin de la bloquer, bloquant également le pivotement de la poignée. De même, lors du pivotement en position active, l'ergot vient s'accrocher dans un orifice d'une lame de blocage, maintenant le balancier en position active. La commande d'ouverture extérieure est ainsi verrouillée.The published patent document EP 1 766 164 B1 discloses a motor vehicle exterior opening control comprising an articulated handle with an oscillating wheel. The control includes an inertial blocking system for the sash in the event of a side impact. The system comprises a rocker arm provided with an inertial element, said rocker arm being configured to pivot from a rest position to an active position in the event of a side impact, in which it prevents the opening of the external control. The balance comprises a pin and a stop. In the event of an impact, the balance tilts and the stopper intercepts a shoulder of the wheel in order to block it, also blocking the pivoting of the handle. Similarly, during pivoting in the active position, the lug hooks into an orifice of a locking strip, maintaining the rocker arm in the active position. The exterior opening control is thus locked.

Les documents WO2009034035 , EP3075929 , FR2940813 , FR2876135 décrivent des poignées comportant un système de blocage inertiel.The documents WO2009034035 , EP3075929 , FR2940813 , FR2876135 describe handles comprising an inertial blocking system.

Lors du montage de la commande d'ouverture extérieure, l'élément inertiel peut être manuellement touché par un opérateur de montage et basculer en position active, provoquant ainsi l'activation du système de blocage. La commande d'ouverture extérieure n'est ainsi plus opérationnelle et il donc nécessaire de procéder au déverrouillage de la commande, ce qui augmente le temps de montage des commandes d'ouverture.When mounting the exterior opening control, the inertial element can be manually touched by an assembly operator and switch to the active position, thus causing the activation of the blocking system. The exterior opening control is therefore no longer operational and it is therefore necessary to carry out the unlocking of the control, which increases the assembly time of the opening controls.

L'invention a pour objectif de pallier au moins un des inconvénients de l'état de la technique susmentionné. Plus particulièrement, l'invention a pour objectif de fournir une commande d'ouverture extérieure permettant d'éviter une activation manuelle du système de blocage lors du montage de ladite commande. L'invention a également pour objectif de fournir une solution simple, économique et robuste.The object of the invention is to overcome at least one of the drawbacks of the aforementioned state of the art. More particularly, the object of the invention is to provide an external opening control making it possible to avoid manual activation of the blocking system when said control is fitted. The invention also aims to provide a simple, economical and robust solution.

L'invention a pour objet une commande d'ouverture extérieure d'ouvrant de véhicule automobile comprenant un support ; une poignée montée sur le support, apte à pivoter dans une direction d'ouverture pour commander une serrure de l'ouvrant en vue de l'ouverture dudit ouvrant ; un système de blocage monté sur le support, avec un élément inertiel mobile apte à se déplacer, en cas d'accélération subie par la commande d'ouverture, depuis une position de repos jusqu'à une position de blocage de manière à bloquer la commande de ladite serrure par ladite poignée lorsque ledit élément inertiel est en position de blocage ; remarquable en ce que la commande d'ouverture comprend une barrière de protection de l'élément inertiel mobile, située d'un côté dudit élément qui est opposé à la direction d'ouverture de la poignée, ladite barrière protégeant ledit élément d'une manipulation par un opérateur de montage de la commande sur l'ouvrant.The subject of the invention is an exterior opening control for a motor vehicle door comprising a support; a handle mounted on the support, able to pivot in an opening direction to control a lock of the opening for the opening of said opening; a blocking system mounted on the support, with a mobile inertial element capable of moving, in the event of acceleration undergone by the opening control, from a rest position to a blocking position so as to block the control of said lock by said handle when said inertial element is in the blocking position; noteworthy in that the opening control comprises a protective barrier for the movable inertial element, located on a side of said element which is opposite to the opening direction of the handle, said barrier protecting said element from manipulation by an operator mounting the control on the opening.

La barrière est avantageusement configurée pour éviter la présence d'un passage d'une dimension de plus de 15mm, préférentiellement 1 0mm, en vis-à-vis de l'élément inertiel mobile.The barrier is advantageously configured to avoid the presence of a passage with a dimension of more than 15 mm, preferably 10 mm, vis-à-vis the mobile inertial element.

Selon un mode avantageux de l'invention, le support s'étend suivant un plan principal et la barrière s'étend parallèlement audit plan le long de l'élément inertiel mobile.According to an advantageous mode of the invention, the support extends along a main plane and the barrier extends parallel to said plane along the mobile inertial element.

Selon l'invention, le système de blocage comprend des moyens automatiques de maintien de l'élément inertiel mobile en position de blocage.According to the invention, the blocking system comprises automatic means for maintaining the mobile inertial element in the blocking position.

Selon l'invention, les moyens automatiques de maintien comprennent une languette élastique et un ergot sur l'élément inertiel mobile apte à déformer la languette et entrer en butée avec un bord de ladite languette.According to the invention, the automatic holding means comprise an elastic tongue and a lug on the movable inertial element capable of deforming the tongue and coming into abutment with an edge of said tongue.

Selon un mode avantageux de l'invention, la languette présente une direction principale subissant une flexion lors de la déformation de ladite languette, la barrière de protection s'étendant transversalement à la direction. La flexion a alors lieu transversalement à un plan moyen de la languette avant déformation.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the tongue has a main direction undergoing bending during the deformation of said tongue, the protective barrier extending transversely to the direction. The bending then takes place transversely to a mean plane of the tongue before deformation.

Selon l'invention, la barrière de protection est formée par une plaque adjacente à la languette et fixée au support.According to the invention, the protective barrier is formed by a plate adjacent to the tongue and fixed to the support.

Selon l'invention, ladite commande comprend un bras monté pivotant sur le support coopérant avec la poignée de manière à être mis en mouvement par ladite poignée et comprenant une zone de fixation d'un câble de commande de la serrure, l'élément inertiel mobile du système de blocage étant configuré pour coopérer directement avec ledit bras lors du blocage de la commande de serrure.According to the invention, said control comprises an arm pivotally mounted on the support cooperating with the handle so as to be set in motion by said handle and comprising a zone for fixing a cable for controlling the lock, the mobile inertial element of the locking system being configured to cooperate directly with said arm when locking the lock control.

Selon l'invention, la plaque formant la barrière de protection supporte une extrémité d'un pivot du bras monté pivotant sur le support.According to the invention, the plate forming the protective barrier supports one end of a pivot of the arm pivotally mounted on the support.

L'invention a également a trait à un véhicule automobile comprenant au moins un ouvrant avec une commande d'ouverture extérieure, remarquable en ce que la commande d'ouverture extérieure est conforme à l'invention.The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising at least one opening with an exterior opening control, noteworthy in that the exterior opening control is in accordance with the invention.

L'invention est intéressante en ce qu'elle propose une commande d'ouverture extérieure d'ouvrant comprenant une barrière de protection de l'élément inertiel. La barrière de protection permet de montage de la commande d'ouverture sur l'ouvrant sans risquer de toucher l'élément inertiel. La barrière de protection permet ainsi d'empêcher une activation manuelle du système de blocage et d'éviter les retouches de montage de la commande. La barrière de protection permet également de rigidifier le support et d'éviter des phénomènes de flexion du support pouvant provoquer une ouverture de l'ouvrant.The invention is interesting in that it proposes a control for external opening of the leaf comprising a protective barrier for the inertial element. The protective barrier allows the opening control to be mounted on the opening without the risk of touching the inertial element. The protective barrier thus makes it possible to prevent manual activation of the blocking system and to avoid alterations to the assembly of the control. The protective barrier also makes it possible to stiffen the support and to avoid phenomena of bending of the support which can cause the opening of the leaf to open.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention seront mieux compris à l'aide de la description et des dessins parmi lesquels :

  • La figure 3 représente une vue agrandie d'une portion de la commande d'ouverture extérieure représentée à la figure 1 dans laquelle le système de blocage est en position de blocage ;
  • La figure 4 représente une commande d'ouverture extérieure d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile, selon un deuxième mode de réalisation dans ce cas selon l'invention.
Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be better understood using the description and the drawings, among which:
  • There figure 1 represents an exterior opening control of a motor vehicle door, according to a first embodiment but not according to the invention;
  • There figure 2 shows an enlarged view of a portion of the exterior opening control shown in figure 1 in which the locking system is in the rest position;
  • There picture 3 shows an enlarged view of a portion of the exterior opening control shown in figure 1 in which the blocking system is in the blocking position;
  • There figure 4 represents an exterior opening control of a motor vehicle door, according to a second embodiment in this case according to the invention.

La figure 1 représente une commande d'ouverture extérieure 2 d'un ouvrant de véhicule automobile, selon un premier mode de réalisation mais pas selon l'invention. La commande d'ouverture extérieure 2 est représentée de l'intérieur de l'ouvrant. La commande 2 comprend un support 6 destiné à être fixé derrière la face externe de l'ouvrant. Le support 6 s'étend suivant un plan principal, généralement parallèle au plan général de l'ouvrant. La commande d'ouverture 2 comprend également une poignée montée mobile sur le support 6, du côté externe de l'ouvrant. La poignée n'est pas représentée, seul un logement 8 de la poignée formée par une extension du support 6 est représenté. La poignée est apte à pivoter d'une position de repos dans une direction d'ouverture de l'ouvrant pour commander une serrure de l'ouvrant en vue de l'ouverture dudit ouvrant. La direction d'ouverture de l'ouvrant est orientée vers l'arrière du plan de la figure 1. La serrure n'est pas représentée. La poignée est montée sur un support 10 de poignée disposé du côté interne de l'ouvrant, sur le support de la commande. Le support 10 de poignée peut être relié à un élément élastique de rappel 12, tel un ressort de torsion, de manière à ramener la poignée dans la position de repos.There figure 1 represents an exterior opening control 2 of a motor vehicle door, according to a first embodiment but not according to the invention. The external opening control 2 is shown from inside the opening. Control 2 includes a support 6 intended to be fixed behind the outer face of the opening. The support 6 extends along a main plane, generally parallel to the general plane of the opening. The opening control 2 also includes a handle movably mounted on the support 6, on the outer side of the opening. The handle is not shown, only a housing 8 of the handle formed by an extension of the support 6 is shown. The handle is capable of pivoting from a rest position in an opening direction of the leaf to control a lock of the leaf with a view to opening said leaf. The opening direction of the sash is oriented towards the rear of the plane of the figure 1 . The lock is not shown. The handle is mounted on a handle support 10 disposed on the inside of the opening, on the control support. The handle support 10 can be connected to an elastic return element 12, such as a torsion spring, so as to return the handle to the rest position.

La commande d'ouverture 2 comprend un bras 14 monté pivotant sur le support 6 et coopérant avec la poignée, plus particulièrement avec le support de poignée 10. Le bras 14 monté pivotant sur le support 6 coopère avec le support de poignée 10 de manière à être mis en mouvement par ladite poignée et coopère plus particulièrement avec un élément 15 du support de poignée. Le bras 14 monté pivotant comprend une zone 16 de fixation d'un câble 33 (représenté en figures 2 et 3) relié à la serrure de l'ouvrant. Le bras 14 monté pivotant est configuré pour pivoter depuis une position de repos, dans laquelle il ne tire pas sur le câble 33 pour ne pas actionner la serrure afin de pas ouvrir l'ouvrant, dans une direction d de déverrouillage où le bras 14 tire sur le câble 33 de manière à déverrouiller la serrure, permettant ainsi l'ouverture de l'ouvrant.The opening control 2 comprises an arm 14 pivotally mounted on the support 6 and cooperating with the handle, more particularly with the handle support 10. The arm 14 pivotally mounted on the support 6 cooperates with the handle support 10 so as to be set in motion by said handle and cooperates more particularly with an element 15 of the handle support. The pivotally mounted arm 14 comprises a zone 16 for fixing a cable 33 (shown in figure 2 And 3 ) connected to the sash lock. The pivotally mounted arm 14 is configured to pivot from a rest position, in which it does not pull on the cable 33 so as not to actuate the lock so as not to open the leaf, in an unlocking direction d where the arm 14 pulls on the cable 33 so as to unlock the lock, thus allowing the opening of the opening.

La commande d'ouverture extérieure 2 comprend un système de blocage 18 monté sur le support.The external opening control 2 comprises a blocking system 18 mounted on the support.

Les figures 2 et 3 représentent une vue de détail de la commande 2 de la figure 1. Dans la figure 2, le système de blocage 18 est dans une position de repos, et dans la figure 3 dans une position de blocage. Le système de blocage 18 comprend un élément inertiel mobile 20 apte à se déplacer, en cas d'accélération de la commande 2, dans une position de blocage depuis une position de repos, de manière à bloquer la commande de serrure. Par exemple, si l'ouvrant est une porte latérale de véhicule, l'accélération de la commande 2 est provoquée lors d'un choc latéral contre le véhicule par le déplacement dudit véhicule et la déformation de la porte qui reçoit le choc. L'élément inertiel 20 est aussi connu sous le terme de masselotte. L'élément inertiel 20 est configuré pour coopérer directement avec le bras 14 monté pivotant, lors du blocage de la commande de serrure. Plus particulièrement, l'élément inertiel 20 peut comprendre une surface de butée 22. Lors du pivotement de l'élément inertiel 20 en position de blocage, la surface de butée 22 entre en contact avec une extrémité 24 du bras 14 monté pivotant et empêche ainsi son pivotement dans la direction de déverrouillage de la serrure. La commande d'ouverture 2 extérieure est ainsi verrouillée. Le système de blocage 18 comprend des moyens automatiques de maintien 26 de l'élément inertiel en position de blocage. Les moyens automatiques de maintien 26 peuvent comprendre une languette élastique 28 et un ergot 30 sur l'élément inertiel 20 apte à déformer la languette 28 lorsque l'élément inertiel 20 est en position de repos et à entrer en butée avec un bord de ladite languette 28 lorsque l'élément inertiel 20 est en position de blocage. En position de blocage, l'élément inertiel 20 ne peut plus pivoter et revenir en position de repos car maintenu bloquer par la mise en butée de l'ergot 30 contre le bord de la languette 28. La languette 28 présente une direction principale subissant la flexion lors de la déformation de ladite languette 28. La languette 28 s'étend transversalement le long d'une portion de l'élément inertiel 20. La languette 28 peut être fixée sur le support 6 ou venue de matière avec le support 6. Si, lors d'un montage de la commande d'ouverture 2 sur un véhicule, un opérateur de montage touche l'élément inertiel mobile 28 en position de repos et le fait pivoter en position de blocage, la commande d'ouverture extérieure 2 ne peut plus actionner la serrure. La commande d'ouverture 2 n'est alors plus opérationnelle.THE figure 2 And 3 represent a detail view of order 2 of the figure 1 . In the figure 2 , the locking system 18 is in a rest position, and in the picture 3 in a blocking position. The blocking system 18 comprises a mobile inertial element 20 capable of moving, in the event of acceleration of the control 2, into a blocking position from a rest position, so as to block the lock control. For example, if the opening is a vehicle side door, the acceleration of the control 2 is caused during a side impact against the vehicle by the movement of said vehicle and the deformation of the door which receives the impact. The inertial element 20 is also known by the term weight. The inertial element 20 is configured to cooperate directly with the pivotally mounted arm 14, when the lock control is blocked. More particularly, the inertial element 20 may comprise an abutment surface 22. When the inertial element 20 pivots into the locking position, the abutment surface 22 comes into contact with an end 24 of the pivotally mounted arm 14 and thus prevents its pivoting in the unlocking direction of the lock. The exterior opening control 2 is thus locked. The blocking system 18 comprises automatic means 26 for maintaining the inertial element in the blocking position. The automatic holding means 26 may comprise an elastic tongue 28 and a lug 30 on the inertial element 20 able to deform the tongue 28 when the inertial element 20 is in the rest position and to come into abutment with an edge of said tongue. 28 when the inertial element 20 is in the blocking position. In the blocking position, the inertial element 20 can no longer pivot and return to the rest position because it is kept blocked by the abutment of the lug 30 against the edge of the tongue 28. The tongue 28 has a main direction undergoing bending during the deformation of said tongue 28. The tongue 28 extends transversely along a portion of the inertial element 20. The tongue 28 can be fixed on the support 6 or come from the same with the support 6. If, during assembly of the opening control 2 on a vehicle, an assembly operator touches the mobile inertial element 28 in the rest position and pivots it into the locking position, the control d external opening 2 can no longer operate the lock. The opening control 2 is then no longer operational.

Afin d'éviter ce problème lors du montage de la commande d'ouverture extérieure 2, ladite commande d'ouverture extérieure 2 comprend une barrière de protection 32 de l'élément inertiel mobile 20. La barrière de protection 32 est représentée en transparence aux figures 2 et 3 afin de faciliter la compréhension du système de blocage 18. La barrière de protection 32 protège l'élément inertiel 20 d'une manipulation par un opérateur de montage de la commande sur l'ouvrant. La barrière de protection 32 est située d'un côté de l'élément inertiel mobile 20 qui est opposé à la direction d'ouverture de la poignée. La barrière de protection 32 s'étend parallèlement au plan du support 6, le long de l'élément inertiel mobile 20 et s'étend transversalement à la direction principale de la languette 28, en vis-à-vis de l'élément inertiel 28. La barrière de protection 32 est ainsi formée par la languette élastique 28.In order to avoid this problem when mounting the external opening control 2, said external opening control 2 comprises a protective barrier 32 of the mobile inertial element 20. The protective barrier 32 is represented in transparency with figure 2 And 3 in order to facilitate understanding of the blocking system 18. The protective barrier 32 protects the inertial element 20 from manipulation by an operator mounting the control on the opening. The protective barrier 32 is located on a side of the mobile inertial element 20 which is opposite to the opening direction of the handle. The protective barrier 32 extends parallel to the plane of the support 6, along the mobile inertial element 20 and extends transversely to the main direction of the tongue 28, vis-à-vis the inertial element 28 The protective barrier 32 is thus formed by the elastic tab 28.

La figure 4 représente une vue de face d'une commande d'ouverture extérieure 102 d'ouvrant de véhicule automobile, selon un deuxième mode de réalisation dans ce cas selon l'invention. La figure 4 reprend la numérotation des figures précédentes pour les éléments identiques ou similaires, la numérotation étant toutefois incrémentée de 100. Il est par ailleurs fait référence à la description de ces éléments en relation avec le premier mode de réalisation. Des numéros spécifiques sont utilisés pour les éléments spécifiques à ce mode de réalisation.There figure 4 shows a front view of an exterior opening control 102 of a motor vehicle door, according to a second embodiment in this case according to the invention. There figure 4 repeats the numbering of the previous figures for identical or similar elements, the numbering being however incremented by 100. Reference is also made to the description of these elements in relation to the first embodiment. Specific numbers are used for elements specific to this embodiment.

Selon ce deuxième mode de réalisation, la barrière de protection 132 de l'élément inertiel 120 est formée par une plaque adjacente à la languette 128 et fixée au support 106. La plaque formant la barrière de protection 132 peut être venue de matière avec le support 106 ou vissée sur ledit support 106. La plaque formant la barrière de protection 132 supporte une extrémité d'un pivot 134 du bras 114 monté pivotant sur le support 106. Plus particulièrement, la plaque comprend une extension 136 recouvrant le bras 114 et supportant l'extrémité du pivot 134 du bras monté pivotant sur le support.According to this second embodiment, the protective barrier 132 of the inertial element 120 is formed by a plate adjacent to the tongue 128 and fixed to the support 106. The plate forming the protective barrier 132 can be integral with the support 106 or screwed onto said support 106. The plate forming the protective barrier 132 supports one end of a pivot 134 of the arm 114 pivotally mounted on the support 106. More particularly, the plate comprises an extension 136 covering the arm 114 and supporting the end of the pivot 134 of the arm pivotally mounted on the support.

Avantageusement, la plaque formant la barrière de protection 132 est ajourée et forme des nervures. Les ajours présentent une dimension principale ou un diamètre moyen inférieur à 10 mm, de manière à empêcher l'entrée d'un doigt d'un opérateur de montage.Advantageously, the plate forming the protective barrier 132 is perforated and forms ribs. The openings have a main dimension or an average diameter of less than 10 mm, so as to prevent the entry of a finger of an assembly operator.

La barrière de protection 32,132 de l'élément inertiel 20,120 des deux modes de réalisation présente également l'avantage de renforcer le support permettant ainsi de limiter des phénomènes de flexion du support pouvant conduire à une ouverture de l'ouvrant.The protective barrier 32.132 of the inertial element 20.120 of the two embodiments also has the advantage of reinforcing the support, thus making it possible to limit bending phenomena of the support which can lead to opening of the opening.
