Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne un essuie-glace de véhicule automobile comportant un dispositif de projection de liquide de lavage. The invention relates to a windscreen wiper for a motor vehicle comprising a device for spraying washing liquid.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un essuie-glace de véhicule automobile, du type dans lequel un organe de projection de liquide de lavage, qui est porté par l'essuie-glace, comporte un embout de raccordement pour une canalisation d'alimentation et au moins un orifice de projection de liquide de lavage. The invention relates more particularly to a motor vehicle windscreen wiper, of the type in which a washing liquid spraying member, which is carried by the windscreen wiper, comprises a connection end piece for a supply pipe and to the minus a washing liquid spray hole.
II est intéressant de disposer d'un dispositif de projection de liquide de lavage sur l'essuie-glace du véhicule et non pas sur un élément carrosserie proche de la vitre à essuyer. En effet, la projection se fait ainsi au plus près de la vitre et le jet de liquide est donc peu susceptible d'être dévié par les filets d'air qui s'écoulent le long de la vitre lorsque le véhicule circule à grande vitesse. It is advantageous to have a device for spraying washing liquid on the windscreen wiper of the vehicle and not on a bodywork element close to the window to be wiped. In fact, the projection is thus made as close as possible to the window and the jet of liquid is therefore unlikely to be deflected by the air streams which flow along the window when the vehicle is traveling at high speed.
Toutefois, et notamment lorsque le dispositif de projection du liquide de lavage est porté par un balai d'essuie-glace, un tel dispositif ne peut souvent projeter le liquide que d'un côté du balai par rapport à la direction longitudinale générale de l'essuie-glace, et pas de l'autre. However, and in particular when the device for spraying the washing liquid is carried by a wiper blade, such a device can often only project the liquid on one side of the blade relative to the general longitudinal direction of the wiper, and not on the other.
En fonction des besoins, il peut être souhaitable de projeter le liquide de lavage vers l'un ou l'autre des côtés de l'essuie-glace et il est donc nécessaire de prévoir des dispositifs de projection qui puissent être fixés de l'un ou de l'autre côté de l'essuie-glace. Depending on requirements, it may be desirable to spray the washing liquid to either side of the wiper and it is therefore necessary to provide projection devices which can be fixed from one or on the other side of the wiper.
Toutefois, dans tous les cas, il est nécessaire d'une part que les orifices de projection soient orientés vers le bas, en direction de la vitre, et d'autre part que l'embout de raccordement de la canalisation soit sensiblement orienté en direction de l'extrémité longitudinale de l'essuie-glace par laquelle ce dernier est fixé sur un arbre d'entraînement. However, in all cases, it is necessary on the one hand that the projection orifices are oriented downward, in the direction of the glass, and on the other hand that the connecting piece of the pipe is substantially oriented in the direction of the longitudinal end of the wiper by which the latter is fixed on a drive shaft.
Par ailleurs, on cherche à standardiser au maximum les dispositifs de projection pour en réduire le coût, ce qui crée le besoin pour un dispositif de projection qui puisse être agencé indifféremment des deux côtés de l'essuie-glace, en dépit des contraintes d'orientation de l'embout de raccordement et des orifices de projection. Furthermore, it is sought to standardize projection devices as much as possible in order to reduce their cost, which creates the need for a projection device which can be arranged indifferently on both sides of the wiper, despite the constraints of orientation of the connection piece and the projection orifices.
Aussi, dans le but d'apporter une solution à ce problème,
I'invention propose un essuie-glace du type décrit précédemment, caractérisé en ce que l'organe de projection est fixé sur l'essuie-glace par l'intermédiaire d'un support sur lequel l'organe de projection peut être monté selon au moins deux positions correspondant à deux orientations différentes de l'embout de raccordement.Also, in order to provide a solution to this problem,
The invention provides a wiper of the type described above, characterized in that the projection member is fixed to the wiper by means of a support on which the projection member can be mounted according to at least two positions corresponding to two different orientations of the connecting piece.
Selon d'autres caractéristiques de l'invention
- les deux orientations de l'embout sont sensiblement parallèles à une direction longitudinale générale de l'essuie-glace mais de sens opposé
- L'organe de projection est monté sur son support par l'intermédiaire d'une glissière à queue d'aronde
- L'organe de projection est monté sur son support par des moyens d'emboîtement élastique
- le support comporte des moyens de fixation sur l'essuie glace
- le support est fixé sur un balai d'essuie-glace
- le support comporte des pattes de fixation qui coopèrent avec des bords supérieur et inférieur d'un flanc latéral du balai pour assurer la fixation du support sur le balai
- I'organe de projection est monté sur son support de telle sorte que l'embout est orienté sensiblement en direction d'une extrémité longitudinale de l'essuie-glace par laquelle ce dernier est relié à un dispositif d'entraînement.According to other features of the invention
- the two orientations of the end piece are substantially parallel to a general longitudinal direction of the wiper but in opposite directions
- The projection device is mounted on its support by means of a dovetail slide
- The projection member is mounted on its support by elastic interlocking means
- The support includes means for fixing to the wiper

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit pour la compréhension de laquelle on se reportera aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective éclatée d'un essuieglace de véhicule automobile comportant un dispositif de projection de liquide de lavage conforme aux enseignements de l'invention; ; et
- la figure 2 est une vue en perspective, selon un autre angle, du dispositif de projection selon l'invention monté sur son support.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following detailed description for the understanding of which reference will be made to the accompanying drawings in which
- Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of a motor vehicle wiper comprising a washing liquid spraying device according to the teachings of the invention; ; and
- Figure 2 is a perspective view, from another angle, of the projection device according to the invention mounted on its support.
On a représenté sur la figure 1 la partie centrale 10 d'un balai d'essuie-glace 12 de véhicule automobile qui est destiné à être articulé, autour d'un axe transversal Al, à l'extrémité longitudinale libre (non représentée) d'un bras d'essuie-glace qui est par ailleurs relié à des moyens d'entraînement de l'essuie-glace par son autre extrémité longitudinale. FIG. 1 shows the central part 10 of a wiper blade 12 of a motor vehicle which is intended to be articulated, around a transverse axis A1, at the free longitudinal end (not shown) d 'A wiper arm which is also connected to the wiper drive means by its other longitudinal end.
La partie centrale 10 du balai 12 comporte essentiellement deux flancs longitudinaux parallèles 14 qui s'étendent sensiblement dans un plan vertical perpendiculaire à une vitre à essuyer (non représentée). The central part 10 of the brush 12 essentially comprises two parallel longitudinal sides 14 which extend substantially in a vertical plane perpendicular to a window to be wiped (not shown).
Un organe de projection de liquide de lavage 16 est destiné à être fixé sur l'un des flancs 14 de la partie centrale 10 du balai 12. A washing liquid spraying member 16 is intended to be fixed to one of the sides 14 of the central part 10 of the brush 12.
L'organe 16 comporte un embout tubulaire 20 de raccordement sur lequel est emmanchée une canalisation d'alimentation 18 en liquide de lavage sous pression. Le liquide est ainsi introduit dans une cavité interne de l'organe 16 par l'intermédiaire de l'embout 20 pour être distribué en direction de la vitre au travers d'une série d'orifices de projection 22 aménagés dans une face intérieure 24 de l'organe 16.The member 16 comprises a tubular connection piece 20 on which is fitted a supply line 18 for washing liquid under pressure. The liquid is thus introduced into an internal cavity of the member 16 via the end piece 20 to be distributed in the direction of the window through a series of projection orifices 22 arranged in an inner face 24 of organ 16.
Conformément aux enseignements de l'invention, L'organe de projection 16 est accroché sur l'un des flancs 14 du balai 12 par l'intermédiaire d'un support de fixation 26 qui comporte à cet effet des pattes de fixation 28 susceptibles de coopérer avec les bords supérieur et inférieur de l'un des deux flancs 14. In accordance with the teachings of the invention, the projection member 16 is hung on one of the sides 14 of the brush 12 by means of a fixing support 26 which for this purpose includes fixing lugs 28 capable of cooperating with the upper and lower edges of one of the two sides 14.
L'organe de projection 16 et son support 26 sont par exemple réalisés par moulage en matière plastique. The projection member 16 and its support 26 are for example made by plastic molding.
De par sa conception, le support 26 est symétrique par rapport à un plan vertical perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale de l'essuieglace, et il peut être monté indifféremment sur l'un ou l'autre des deux flancs 14 du balai 12. By design, the support 26 is symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the wiper, and it can be mounted either on one or the other of the two sides 14 of the blade 12.
Dans cet exemple de réalisation, le support 26 présente un profil de cornière à deux ailes 30, 32. Une aile verticale 30, qui porte les pattes de fixation 28, est destinée à venir en appui contre une face externe de l'un des flancs 14 tandis qu'une aile horizontale s'étend dans la direction opposée au balai 12 par rapport à l'aile verticale 30, depuis un bord longitudinal supérieur de celle-ci. In this exemplary embodiment, the support 26 has an angle profile with two wings 30, 32. A vertical wing 30, which carries the fixing lugs 28, is intended to come to bear against an external face of one of the sides 14 while a horizontal wing extends in the direction opposite to the brush 12 relative to the vertical wing 30, from an upper longitudinal edge thereof.
L'organe de projection 16 présente sensiblement une forme de parallélépipède rectangle complémentaire de l'espace délimité par les deux ailes 30, 32 du support 26. L'embout 20 de raccordement de la canalisation 18 s'étend sensiblement longitudinalement depuis une face transversale d'extrémité 36 de l'organe 16. The projection member 16 has substantially the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped complementary to the space delimited by the two wings 30, 32 of the support 26. The end piece 20 for connecting the pipe 18 extends substantially longitudinally from a transverse face d end 36 of member 16.
Selon l'invention, l'organe 16 peut être monté sur le support 26 selon deux positions possibles, positions dans lesquelles l'embout de raccordement 20 s'étend dans deux sens différents selon la direction longitudinale de ltessuie-glace. According to the invention, the member 16 can be mounted on the support 26 in two possible positions, positions in which the connecting piece 20 extends in two different directions in the longitudinal direction of the wiper.
Pour le montage de organe de projection 16 sur son support 26, il est prévu une glissière à queue d'aronde 34 dont les deux éléments complémentaires s'étendent longitudinalement d'une part sur une face horizontale supérieure 38 de l'organe 16 et sur une face horizontale inférieure 40 de l'aile horizontale 32 du support 26. Ainsi, suivant le sens d'introduction de l'organe 16 dans la glissière de son support 26, on obtient deux positions possibles de l'organe 16 correspondant aux deux orientations de son embout 20. For mounting the projection member 16 on its support 26, a dovetail slide 34 is provided, the two complementary elements of which extend longitudinally on the one hand on an upper horizontal face 38 of the member 16 and on a lower horizontal face 40 of the horizontal wing 32 of the support 26. Thus, according to the direction of introduction of the member 16 into the slide of its support 26, two possible positions of the member 16 are obtained corresponding to the two orientations its tip 20.
La position longitudinale relative de l'organe 16 par rapport à son support 26 peut être fixé définitivement soit par des moyens d'emboîtement élastique, soit par collage ou par soudure aux ultrasons. The relative longitudinal position of the member 16 relative to its support 26 can be permanently fixed either by elastic interlocking means, or by bonding or by ultrasonic welding.
D'autres moyens de fixation de l'organe de projection 16 sur son support 26 peuvent être prévus. L'organe 16 peut par exemple être fixé directement par emboîtement élastique, par soudage ou par collage sur le support 16. Other means for fixing the projection member 16 on its support 26 can be provided. The member 16 can for example be fixed directly by elastic interlocking, by welding or by bonding to the support 16.
Avantageusement, L'organe de projection de liquide de lavage peut être fixé sur son support 26 de telle manière que l'embout 20 soit toujours orienté en direction de la même extrémité longitudinale de l'essuie-glace, par exemple l'extrémité longitudinale par laquelle ce dernier est relié à ses moyens d'entraînement. Advantageously, the washing liquid spraying member can be fixed on its support 26 in such a way that the end piece 20 is always oriented in the direction of the same longitudinal end of the wiper, for example the longitudinal end by which the latter is connected to its drive means.
Ainsi, la canalisation d'alimentation, qui s'étend généralement le long du bras d'essuie-glace, peut être emmanchée sur l'embout 20 sans effectuer de boucle de retournement ce qui est favorable tant à l'esthétique qu'à la durée de vie de la canalisation et à la bonne circulation du liquide de lavage. Thus, the supply line, which generally extends along the wiper arm, can be fitted onto the end piece 20 without performing a turning loop which is favorable both to the aesthetics and to the service life of the pipe and good circulation of the washing liquid.
Cette orientation avantageuse de l'embout 20 peut être obtenue quel que soit le côté de fixation du support 26 et elle permet de conserver en tout état de cause les orifices de projection 22 de l'organe 16 tournés en direction de la vitre. This advantageous orientation of the end piece 20 can be obtained regardless of the fixing side of the support 26 and it makes it possible in any event to keep the projection orifices 22 of the member 16 turned in the direction of the glass.
