Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de commande de l'ouverture d'une porte de véhicule et le procédé correspondant.The present invention relates to a device for controlling the opening of a vehicle door and the corresponding method.

Les dispositifs de commande d'ouverture de porte sont montés soit sur la paroi extérieure de la porte dans une ouverture prévue à cet effet dans la tôle, soit sur la paroi intérieure de la porte dans une ouverture pratiquée à cet effet dans la tôle ou dans un panneau de garnissage de ladite porte. Le dispositif de commande est destiné à commander le verrouillage ou le déverrouillage d'une serrure disposée à distance, au moyen d'une tringle ou, plus généralement, d'un câble coulissant dans une gaine. L'extrémité de la gaine est solidaire d'une partie fixe du dispositif de commande et l'extrémité du câble est solidaire d'une partie mobile. L'extrémité du câble est pourvue en général d'un élément d'extrémité facilitant sa préhension.The door openers are mounted either on the outside wall of the door in an opening provided for this purpose in the sheet, either on the inner wall of the door in an opening made for this purpose in the sheet metal or in a trim panel for said door. The control device is for controlling the locking or unlocking of a lock arranged at a distance, by means of a rod or, more generally, of a cable sliding in a sheath. The end of the sheath is secured to a fixed part of the control device and the end of the cable is secured to a movable part. The end of the cable is generally provided with an end element facilitating its gripping.

On connaít, dans l'art antérieur, un dispositif dit monobloc comprenant un boítier fixé à la paroi de la porte et supportant un axe sur lequel s'articule une palette qui peut être actionnée par l'utilisateur du véhicule. Une portion de la palette est pourvue d'un logement destiné à recevoir l'extrémité du câble. L'extrémité du câble est montée dans son logement par un mouvement transversal, puis par un mouvement de rotation autour de son extrémité et enfin par un mouvement de traction dans le sens du câble. En raison de sa complexité, le montage de l'extrémité du câble dans son logement est difficile à automatiser. En raison du dernier mouvement de traction dans le sens du câble, il subsiste toujours un jeu entre l'extrémité du câble et la palette. Dans un tel type de dispositif de commande, une modification des parties visibles par l'utilisateur se traduit en général par une modification des parties techniques, c'est-à-dire non visibles, en particulier au niveau du débattement du logement de l'extrémité du câble et par conséquent au niveau du câble lui-même. Ainsi une modification du design du dispositif de commande se traduira non seulement par une modification des parties non visibles mais encore par une modification du câble.We know in the prior art, a so-called monoblock device comprising a housing fixed to the wall of the door and supporting an axis on which is articulated a pallet which can be actuated by the user of the vehicle. A portion of the pallet is provided with a housing intended to receive the end of the cable. The end of the cable is mounted in its housing by a transverse movement, then by a rotational movement around its end and finally by a pulling movement in the direction of the cable. Because of its complexity, mounting the end of the cable in its housing is difficult to automate. Due to the last pulling movement in the direction of the cable, there is always a clearance between the end of the cable and pallet. In such a type of control device, a modification of the parts visible by the user is generally reflected by a modification of the technical parts, that is to say not visible, in particular at the travel of the housing at the end of the cable and therefore at the level of the cable itself. So a modification of the design of the control device will result in no only by a modification of the non visible parts but also by a modification of the cable.

On connaít également des dispositifs de commande réalisés en deux parties que l'on monte en installant tout d'abord la palette dans la porte du véhicule puis en venant fixer, autour de la palette et en emboítement avec elle, un boítier. Toutefois, le montage du boítier sur la porte de véhicule et autour de la palette est relativement délicat et laisse subsister des jeux de montage qui nuisent à la finition d'un tel dispositif.There are also known control devices produced in two parts which are assembled by first installing the pallet in the door of the vehicle then by coming to fix, around the pallet and fitting into it, a case. However, the mounting of the case on the vehicle door and around the pallet is relatively delicate and leaves behind mounting clearance which affects the finish of such a device.

La présente invention a pour objet de proposer un dispositif de commande qui remédie à ces divers inconvénients en permettant une finition de qualité avec des assemblages précis entre les pièces visibles par l'utilisateur, en autorisant la modification des parties visibles du dispositif tout en conservant des parties techniques universelles et en offrant une résistance améliorée à l'effraction.The object of the present invention is to provide a device which overcomes these various disadvantages by allowing a quality finish with precise assemblies between the parts visible to the user, authorizing modification of the parts visible from the device while retaining technical parts universal and offering improved resistance to burglary.

Le dispositif de commande de l'ouverture d'une porte de véhicule, selon l'invention, est destiné à être monté dans ladite porte et comprend un boítier disposé dans une ouverture prévue dans une paroi de la porte, une palette pivotant autour d'un axe solidaire du boítier et comprenant une partie de préhension et une fourchette, et un câble de commande pourvu d'un élément d'extrémité coopérant avec la fourchette de la palette, le câble étant disposé dans une gaine se terminant par un embout solidaire du boítier. L'embout comprend des moyens pour guider l'élément d'extrémité du câble au cours de son mouvement sous l'action de la fourchette de façon que la trajectoire de l'élément d'extrémité soit indépendante du boítier et de la palette du dispositif. On obtient ainsi un dispositif de commande dont l'assemblage est économique.The device for controlling the opening of a vehicle according to the invention is intended to be mounted in said door and comprises a housing disposed in an opening provided in a door wall, a pallet pivoting around an axis integral with the case and comprising a grip part and a fork, and a control cable provided with an end element cooperating with the pallet fork, the cable being arranged in a sheath ending with an end piece integral with the housing. The tip includes means for guiding the end element of the cable during its movement under the action of the fork so that the trajectory of the end element is independent of the housing and the pallet of the device. A control device is thus obtained, assembly is economical.

Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, le boítier comprend une face avant en contact avec la palette et une face arrière munie de moyens de fixation de l'embout.In one embodiment of the invention, the housing includes a front face in contact with the pallet and a rear face provided with means for fixing the end piece.

Avantageusement l'embout comprend des pattes élastiques qui peuvent venir se loger dans des fenêtres correspondantes du boítier.Advantageously, the end piece includes elastic tabs which can be accommodated in corresponding windows of the housing.

Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'embout comprend une portion incurvée concave pourvue d'une nervure capable de guider l'élément d'extrémité du câble lors de son déplacement sous l'action de la fourchette de la palette.In one embodiment of the invention, the tip includes a concave curved portion provided with a rib capable of guide the cable end element when moving under the action of the pallet fork.

Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'embout comprend une portion plane pourvue d'une nervure capable de guider l'élément d'extrémité du câble lors de son déplacement sous l'action de la fourchette de la palette.In another embodiment of the invention, the tip includes a flat portion provided with a rib capable of guiding the cable end element during its movement under the action of the pallet fork.

Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention, la fourchette comprend un évidement radial dans lequel est disposé l'élément d'extrémité du câble.In one embodiment of the invention, the range includes a radial recess in which the element is arranged end of the cable.

Avantageusement, l'élément d'extrémité du câble est en butée contre une portion de l'embout, à la sortie du câble de l'embout, avant le montage de l'embout sur le boítier. On repère ainsi précisément la position relative du câble et de la gaine.Advantageously, the end element of the cable is in abutment against a portion of the tip, at the outlet of the tip cable, before mounting the tip on the housing. We thus precisely identify the relative position of cable and sheath.

Après le montage de l'embout sur le boítier, l'élément d'extrémité du câble peut être enfermé dans un espace clos formé par l'embout, le boítier et la palette.After mounting the nozzle on the housing, the element end of the cable can be enclosed in an enclosed space formed by the nozzle, the housing and the pallet.

Le câble muni de son embout, selon l'invention, est destiné à un dispositif de commande tel que décrit précédemment.The cable provided with its end, according to the invention, is intended for a control device as described above.

L'invention concerne également un procédé de montage d'un dispositif de commande dans lequel on installe tout d'abord le câble et l'embout dans la porte du véhicule, puis on fixe l'embout sur la face arrière du boítier, et enfin on fixe le boítier à la porte.The invention also relates to a method of mounting a control device in which the cable is first installed and the nozzle in the vehicle door, then the nozzle is fixed on the face back of the case, and finally we fix the case to the door.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages apparaítront à la description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation pris à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif et illustré par le dessin annexé, sur lequel :
   la figure unique est une vue schématique en coupe du dispositif de commande selon l'invention.The invention will be better understood and other advantages will appear on the detailed description of an embodiment taken by way of nonlimiting example and illustrated by the appended drawing, in which:
the single figure is a schematic sectional view of the control device according to the invention.

Comme on peut le voir sur la figure unique, le véhicule est équipé d'un mécanisme de commande de l'ouverture d'une porte de véhicule destiné à actionner une serrure non représentée. Le mécanisme de commande comprend un boítier 1 capable d'être fixé sur la paroi d'une porte non représentée, une palette 2 pivotante autour d'un axe 3 solidaire du boítier 1, une gaine 4 pourvue d'un embout 5 fixé au boítier 1. Un câble 6 est disposé dans la gaine 4 et peut coulisser à l'intérieur de celle-ci. L'extrémité du câble 6 est pourvue d'un élément d'extrémité 7 en forme de tonneau.As can be seen in the single figure, the vehicle is equipped with a mechanism for controlling the opening of a door vehicle intended to actuate a lock not shown. The control mechanism comprises a housing 1 capable of being fixed on the wall of a door not shown, a pallet 2 pivoting around an axis 3 secured to the housing 1, a sheath 4 provided with a tip 5 fixed to the housing 1. A cable 6 is disposed in the sheath 4 and can slide inside of it. The end of the cable 6 is provided an end element 7 in the shape of a barrel.

Le boítier 1 comprend une face visible la concave et une face opposée 1b non visible après le montage. La palette 2 comprend une partie de préhension 2a qui s'étend du côté de la face visible la du boítier 1 de façon qu'un utilisateur puisse la saisir pour faire pivoter la palette 2. A l'opposée, la palette 2a comprend une fourchette 2b pourvue d'un premier ergot 8 et d'un second ergot 9 tous deux radiaux par rapport à l'axe 3. Les ergots radiaux 8 et 9 définissent entre eux un logement radial 10 dans lequel est disposé l'élément d'extrémité 7 du câble 6.The case 1 includes a visible side of the concave and a side opposite 1b not visible after mounting. Pallet 2 includes a gripping part 2a which extends from the side of the visible face the of box 1 so that a user can grab it to rotate the pallet 2. In contrast, pallet 2a includes a fork 2b provided with a first lug 8 and a second lug 9, both radial relative to axis 3. The radial lugs 8 and 9 define between them a radial housing 10 in which the end element 7 of the cable 6.

Sur sa face convexe 1b, non visible, le boítier 1 comprend une première paroi 11 et une deuxième paroi 12 parallèles entre elles, dirigées vers l'arrière du mécanisme et disposées avec un écartement entre elles tel que l'embout 5 du câble 6 est disposé entre lesdites parois 11 et 12.On its convex face 1b, not visible, the housing 1 comprises a first wall 11 and a second wall 12 parallel to each other, directed towards the rear of the mechanism and arranged with a spacing between them such that the end piece 5 of the cable 6 is disposed between said walls 11 and 12.

L'embout 5 est de forme générale allongée avec une extrémité 5a se raccordant à la gaine 4 et en contact avec la paroi 12 du boítier 1 et une extrémité opposée 5b en contact avec la paroi 11 du boítier 1. L'embout 5 comprend, entre l'extrémité 5a et l'extrémité 5b, une portion incurvée 5c dont la courbure correspond à la distance de l'axe 3. La portion incurvée 5c comprend une nervure 5d faisant saillie en direction de la fourchette 2b de la palette 2. La nervure 5d se termine du côté de l'extrémité 5a de l'embout 5 par un butée 5e.The tip 5 is generally elongated with one end 5a connecting to the sheath 4 and in contact with the wall 12 of the housing 1 and an opposite end 5b in contact with the wall 11 of the housing 1. The tip 5 comprises, between the end 5a and the end 5b, a curved portion 5c whose curvature corresponds to the distance from the axis 3. The curved portion 5c comprises a rib 5d projecting in direction of the fork 2b of the pallet 2. The rib 5d ends on the side of the end 5a of the end piece 5 by a stop 5e.

Avant l'assemblage de l'embout 5 et du boítier 1, l'élément d'extrémité 7 du câble 6 est en contact avec la butée 5e. On connaít ainsi de façon précise la position relative du câble 6 et de la gaine 4 et on diminue ainsi le jeu de fonctionnement du mécanisme. Lors de l'assemblage, on installe tout d'abord l'embout 5 et le câble 6 entouré de la gaine 4 et pourvu en général de la serrure (non représentée) disposée à l'autre extrémité du câble 6, dans la porte du véhicule. Puis on amène un sous-ensemble formé du boítier 1 et de la palette 2 et on fixe l'embout 5 dans le boítier 1 par un simple mouvement de translation qui provoque l'encliquetage de pattes élastiques, non représentées, de l'embout 5 dans des fenêtres non représentées du boítier 1. A ce moment, l'élément d'extrémité 7 du câble 5 entre en contact avec l'ergot 9 de la fourchette 2b et vient se loger dans le logement 10 tout en n'étant plus en contact avec la butée 5e de l'embout 5. L'élément d'extrémité 7 du câble 6 reste en contact avec la nervure 5d de l'embout 5 et avec l'ergot 9 de la fourchette 2b. On réalise ainsi le contact entre la fourchette 2 et l'élément d'extrémité 7 du câble 6 par un simple mouvement de translation. Enfin, on vient fixer le boítier 1 équipé de l'embout 5 sur la porte du véhicule par des moyens de fixation tels que le clipsage et le vissage.Before assembling the nozzle 5 and the housing 1, the element end 7 of cable 6 is in contact with stop 5e. We know thus precisely the relative position of the cable 6 and the sheath 4 and this reduces the operating clearance of the mechanism. During assembly, first install the tip 5 and the cable 6 surrounded sheath 4 and generally provided with the lock (not shown) disposed at the other end of the cable 6, in the vehicle door. Then we bring a sub-assembly formed of the housing 1 and the pallet 2 and we fixed the tip 5 in the housing 1 by a simple movement of translation which causes the latching of elastic tabs, not shown, from the nozzle 5 in windows not shown in the housing 1. At this time, the end element 7 of the cable 5 comes into contact with the lug 9 of the fork 2b and is housed in the housing 10 while no longer being in contact with the stop 5e of the end piece 5. The end element 7 of the cable 6 remains in contact with the rib 5d of the nozzle 5 and with the lug 9 of the fork 2b. We thus realizes the contact between the fork 2 and the end element 7 cable 6 by a simple translational movement. Finally, we come fix the housing 1 fitted with the end piece 5 to the vehicle door with fixing means such as clipping and screwing.

En fonctionnement, l'utilisateur saisit la partie de préhension 2a de la palette 2 et provoque son pivotement autour de l'axe 3. La fourchette 2b pivote, elle aussi, en restant à proximité immédiate de la portion concave 5c de l'embout 5. L'ergot 9 de la fourchette 2b peut être pourvu d'une rainure destinée à épouser le profil de la nervure 5d et à laisser passer le câble 6. L'ergot 9 entraíne, lors de son pivotement, l'élément d'extrémité 7 du câble 6, la gaine 4 restant quant à elle fixe et solidaire de l'embout 5. L'élément d'extrémité 7 du câble 6 est guidé radialement par la nervure 5d. La position extrême de la palette 2 à la fin de son pivotement est représentée en trait mixte sur la figure unique.In operation, the user grasps the grip part 2a of the pallet 2 and causes it to pivot about the axis 3. The fork 2b also pivots, remaining in the immediate vicinity of the concave portion 5c of the nozzle 5. The lug 9 of the fork 2b can be provided with a groove intended to match the profile of the rib 5d and to pass the cable 6. The lug 9 drives, during its pivoting, the end element 7 of the cable 6, the sheath 4 remaining as to it fixed and integral with the end piece 5. The end element 7 of the cable 6 is guided radially by the rib 5d. The extreme position of the pallet 2 at the end of its pivoting is represented by a dashed line on the single figure.

Tout au long de sa trajectoire, l'élément d'extrémité 7 du câble 5 est enfermé dans le logement 10 par la fourchette 2b et par la nervure 5d. Plus généralement, l'élément d'extrémité 7 et la portion du câble 5 faisant saillie à la suite de l'élément d'extrémité 7 sont enfermés dans un espace clos formé par le boítier 1, la palette 2 et l'embout 5. L'élément d'extrémité 7 du câble 6 est ainsi difficilement accessible et le mécanisme de commande de l'ouverture de porte est bien protégé contre les tentatives d'effraction.Throughout its trajectory, the end element 7 of the cable 5 is enclosed in the housing 10 by the fork 2b and by the rib 5d. More generally, the end element 7 and the portion of the cable 5 protruding from the end member 7 are enclosed in a closed space formed by the housing 1, the pallet 2 and the end piece 5. The end element 7 of the cable 6 is thus hardly accessible and the door opening control mechanism is well protected against attempted break-ins.

On remarque que les parois 11 et 12 de la face convexe 1b du boítier 1 sont obliques de façon à permettre un débattement satisfaisant de la palette 2 autour de son axe 3 dans le boítier 1, tout en laissant un espace libre 13 le plus faible possible entre la palette 2, à proximité de la fourchette 2b, et la paroi 12 du boítier 1. On améliore ainsi l'aspect général extérieur et la finition du mécanisme de commande. Bien que les parois 11 et 12 soient obliques, l'embout 5 vient se fixer entre elles par un mouvement de translation simple et perpendiculaire à l'axe du câble 6 pour faciliter l'assemblage de l'embout 5 et du boítier 1.Note that the walls 11 and 12 of the convex face 1b of the box 1 are oblique so as to allow a clearance satisfactory of the pallet 2 around its axis 3 in the housing 1, all by leaving the smallest possible free space 13 between the pallet 2, near the fork 2b, and the wall 12 of the housing 1. On thus improves the general external appearance and the finish of the ordered. Although the walls 11 and 12 are oblique, the end piece 5 is fixed between them by a simple translational movement and perpendicular to the axis of the cable 6 to facilitate the assembly of the tip 5 and the housing 1.
