Abstract
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'articulation pour capot de véhicule automobile.The invention relates to a hinge device for a motor vehicle hood.
Elle concerne plus précisément un dispositif comportant, pour relier à la caisse d'un véhicule chacune de deux extrémités latérales opposées d'une partie articulée d'un capot, deux éléments formant biellettes qui s'articulent sur la caisse et sur le capot en constituant un quadrilatère déformable.It relates more precisely to a device comprising, for connecting to the body of a vehicle each of two opposite lateral ends of an articulated part of a hood, two elements forming rods which are articulated on the body and on the hood constituting a deformable quadrilateral.
Selon des dispositifs connus de ce type, les éléments formant biellettes sont rigides et leur dimension et l'emplacement de leurs articulations sur la caisse et sur le capot sont tels que la déformation du quadrilatère lors du soulèvement du capot provoque un déplacement de la partie articulée du capot vers l'extrémité libre de celui-ci de manière à éviter que le bord de cette partie articulée ne heurte alors une pièce avoisinante.According to known devices of this type, the rod elements are rigid and their size and the location of their articulations on the body and on the cover are such that the deformation of the quadrilateral when the cover is raised causes a displacement of the articulated part. from the cover towards the free end thereof so as to prevent the edge of this articulated part from hitting a neighboring piece.
Certains agencements sont parfois prévus pour limiter le soulèvement du capot à une position moyenne d'ouverture convenant pour l'accès courant au contenu du compartiment que recouvre le capot, tandis qu'une position supérieure du capot peut être atteinte grâce à des moyens complémentaires associés au dispositif d'articulation. Ces moyens complémentaires augmentent le coût de réalisation du dispositif et impliquent généralement une action de l'utilisateur pour annuler et pour rétablir la limitation de soulèvement du capot à sa position moyenne.Certain arrangements are sometimes provided to limit the lifting of the hood to an average open position suitable for current access to the contents of the compartment covered by the hood, while an upper position of the hood can be reached by means of associated complementary means. to the articulation device. These additional means increase the cost of producing the device and generally involve action by the user to cancel and restore the limitation of lifting of the cover to its average position.
Par ailleurs, un ressort équilibreur ou compensateur est de préférence adjoint au dispositif d'articulation pour assister la manoeuvre de soulèvement et éventuellement pour maintenir le capot en position ouverte.Furthermore, a balancing or compensating spring is preferably added to the articulation device to assist the lifting operation and possibly to keep the cover in the open position.
L'invention vise à réaliser un dispositif d'articulation de capot qui soit simple tout en assistant le soulèvement jusqu'à une position d'ouverture pour l'usage courant, et permettant une plus large ouverture occasionnelle sans action sur des moyens complémentaires.The invention aims to provide a hood articulation device which is simple while assisting the lifting up to an open position for current use, and allowing a wider occasional opening without action on additional means.
A cet effet, le dispositif selon l'invention est du type susmentionné à éléments formant biellettes qui s'articulent sur la caisse et sur le capot en constituant un quadrilatère déformable, le capot étant soulevable d'une position basse de fermeture à l'une ou l'autre de deux positions stables d'ouverture, respectivement moyenne et supérieure ; il est caractérisé en ce que l'un des susdits éléments étant une biellette rigide, l'autre élément 5 est un équilibreur télescopique assistant le soulèvement du capot jusqu'à la dite position moyenne où il atteint son extension maximale, tandis que deux butées solidaires de la caisse sont propres à maintenir respectivement et alternativement la biellette rigide en une première position stable où le capot peut pivoter sur elle entre lesdites positions basse et moyenne, et en une seconde position stable où elle maintient le capot dans sa position supérieure atteinte, à partir de sa position moyenne, par pivotement sur l'équilibreur en extension maximale.To this end, the device according to the invention is of the aforementioned type with elements forming rods which are articulated on the body and on the cover in constituting a deformable quadrilateral, the cover being liftable from a low closed position to one or the other of two stable open positions, respectively middle and upper; it is characterized in that one of the above elements being a rigid link, the
Selon quelques dispositions intéressantes de l'invention :
- la biellette est plus proche que l'équilibreur du bord délimitant la partie articulée du capot ;
- l'axe des articulations étant transversal au véhicule, la biellette est, dans ses deux positions stables, inclinée respectivement vers l'avant et vers l'arrière au-dessus de son articulation sur la caisse, et vers le bord libre du capot en seconde position stable ;
- la biellette et l'équilibreur s'articulent sur un même support fixé à la caisse et sur un même charnon fixé au capot ;
- au moins l'une des deux butées est réalisée monopièce avec le support.
- the rod is closer than the balancer of the edge delimiting the articulated part of the cover;
- the axis of the joints being transverse to the vehicle, the rod is, in its two stable positions, inclined respectively forwards and backwards above its articulation on the body, and towards the free edge of the hood in seconds stable position;
- the link and the balancer are articulated on the same support fixed to the body and on the same knuckle fixed to the hood;
- at least one of the two stops is produced one piece with the support.
Un mode de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention est décrit ci-après, avec référence aux dessins annexés parmi lesquels :
- les figures 1 et 2 sont des vues latérales schématiques de la partie avant supérieure d'un véhicule automobile munie d'un capot représenté respectivement en positions d'ouverture moyenne et supérieure ;
- la figure 3 est une vue éclatée en perspective des pièces constitutives du dispositif ;
- les figures 4, 5 et 6 sont des vues latérales du dispositif, dans des positions correspondant respectivement à celles dites basse, moyenne et supérieure du capot.
- Figures 1 and 2 are schematic side views of the upper front part of a motor vehicle provided with a cover shown respectively in middle and upper opening positions;
- Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the component parts of the device;
- Figures 4, 5 and 6 are side views of the device, in positions corresponding respectively to those called low, medium and upper cover.
On voit à la figure 1 une partie d'un véhicule 1 dont un capot 2 a été soulevé d'une position basse 2b de fermeture à une position moyenne 2m d'ouverture par pivotement autour d'un axe A transversal au véhicule et situé près du bord inférieur d'un pare-brise 3, tandis qu'à la figure 2 le capot est représenté dans une position supérieure 2s où son axe de pivotement a été déplacé en A', évitant qu'en fin de soulèvement le bord arrière 4 du capot ne heurte le pare-brise et/ou un balai d'essui-vitre 5 reposant sur celui-ci.We see in Figure 1 a part of a
A cet effet, le bord arrière 4 délimitant une partie dite articulée 6 du capot munie de deux extrémités latérales opposées 7, chacune de celles-ci est reliée à la caisse 8 du véhicule, près d'un coin inférieur du pare-brise 3, par un dispositif d'articulation 9 visible aux figures 3 à 6.To this end, the
Ce dispositif comprend une biellette rigide 10 et un équilibreur télescopique 11 qui s'articulent sur un même support 12 fixé à la caisse, et sur un même charnon 13 fixé au capot en constituant un quadrilatère se déformant lors du soulèvement ou de l'abaissement du capot, comme indiqué plus loin.This device comprises a
La biellette s'articule par des axes transversaux 15 et 16 respectivement sur les extrémités arrière du support 12 et du charnon 13 en étant ainsi plus proche du bord arrière 4 du capot que l'équilibreur 11, dont les articulations respectives avec le support 12 et avec le charnon 13 sont constituées par des rotules 17 et 18. Les moyens de fixation du support et du charnon sont par exemple des vis, non représentées, traversant des trous 12a, 13a de ces pièces.The link is articulated by
Une butée arrière 19 formée par pliage d'une tôle constitutive du support 12, et une butée avant 20 fixée à celui-ci par un moyen connu quelconque sont agencées de manière à immobiliser alternativement et respectivement la biellette 10 en position stable arrière (figures 4 et 5) ou en position stable avant (figure 6).A
L'équilibreur contient, comme connu, un ressort métallique ou à gaz comprimé qui tend à l'allonger par coulissement jusqu'à une extension maximale, déterminée par une butée interne, où le ressort est encore suffisamment contraint pour supporter et maintenir le capot dans ses positions moyenne (figure 5) et supérieure (figure 6) d'ouverture.The balancer contains, as known, a metal or compressed gas spring which tends to extend it by sliding to a maximum extension, determined by an internal stop, where the spring is still sufficiently constrained to support and maintain the cover in its middle (Figure 5) and upper (Figure 6) open positions.
La disposition des axes 15 et 16 et des rotules 17 et 18 sur la caisse 8 et sur le capot 2 d'une part, et les longueurs respectives de la biellette 10 et de l'équilibreur 11 d'autre part, sont telles que le quadrilatère formé par la biellette et l'équilibreur se déforme comme indiqué ci-après.The arrangement of the
En position basse 2b du capot (figure 4), l'équilibreur 11 est maintenu comprimé par verrouillage du capot en position fermée où le charnon 13 est sensiblement horizontal ; l'équilibreur est très incliné et pousse vers l'arrière le charnon 13 et la partie supérieure de la biellette 10 ainsi maintenue en position arrière stable contre la butée 10.In the lower position 2b of the cover (FIG. 4), the
Un soulèvement S1 du capot après son déverrouillage, assisté ou obtenu par allongement télescopique de l'équilibreur 11, s'effectue par pivotement sur l'axe 16 (matérialisant l'axe transversal A susmentionné) de la biellette 10 encore maintenue dans sa position stable arrière par le poids de la partie arrière du capot et par la poussée vers l'arrière de l'équilibreur. Ce soulèvement atteint la position moyenne 2m d'ouverture (figure 5) où l'équilibreur 11 et le charnon 13 sont inclinés sensiblement à 45° par rapport à l'horizontale et à peu près perpendiculaires entre eux ; cette position 2m est déterminée par l'extension maximale de l'équilibreur dont le ressort est encore suffisamment contraint pour maintenir ainsi le capot.A lifting S1 of the cover after its unlocking, assisted or obtained by telescopic extension of the
Un soulèvement complémentaire S2 du capot jusqu'à sa position supérieure 2s (figure 6) est obtenu par poussée de l'utilisateur vers le haut sur l'extrémité libre 21 du capot, ce qui fait pivoter la biellette 10 vers l'avant sur son axe 15 en même temps que le charnon 13 pivote sur la rotule 18 le reliant à l'équilibreur 11 encore maintenu à son extension maximale grâce à son ressort suffisamment contraint ; le charnon et l'équilibreur sont presque verticaux quand le capot atteint sa position supérieure 2s déterminée par immobilisation de la biellette 10 dans sa position stable avant où elle est en contact avec la butée fixe 20.A complementary lifting S2 of the cover to its upper position 2s (FIG. 6) is obtained by pushing the user upwards on the
L'abaissement du capot s'obtient en exerçant sur son extrémité libre 21 une poussée vers le bas suffisante, à partir de la position moyenne 2m, pour comprimer l'équilibreur.The lowering of the hood is obtained by exerting on its free end 21 a sufficient downward push, from the
Ce dispositif s'avère peu coûteux puisque l'équilibreur ne s'ajoute pas au quadrilatère mais en fait partie, et il permet une manipulation aisée du capot, que ce soit pour obtenir son ouverture courante en position moyenne ou une ouverture exceptionnelle en position supérieure. Il peut s'appliquer aussi bien à un couvercle de coffre arrière de véhicule qu'à un capot recouvrant un compartiment-moteur.This device is inexpensive since the balancer is not added to the quadrilateral but is part of it, and it allows easy manipulation of the cover, whether to obtain its current opening in the middle position or an exceptional opening in the upper position. . It can be applied both to a rear trunk lid of a vehicle and to a hood covering an engine compartment.
