Description

The present invention relates to a control device for a vehicle door locking system. It is particularly intended for motor vehicle doors to control the locking and unlocking modes of door handles.

The locks implemented in this field must meet the desired features, increasingly sophisticated, while assuming the technical constraints related to reliability, cost or congestion. For example, vehicles today have a child safety function, a function that controls the ability to open one of the rear doors when the inside handle is operated. Another function more and more encountered is said to double lock and is to prohibit any door opening by the handles, inside and outside. It will be understood that providing a vehicle with these various locking control functions involves complex means, the organs necessary for each locking function multiplying the numbers of total parts.

The document WO-A1-2009030046 discloses an attempt to rationalize a locking system by proposing to use a single motor to operate two locking functions. This goal is however not really achieved since it continues to involve another actuator such as a key or a motor used for another locking function.

There is therefore a need to realize a plurality of locking configurations by limiting the complexity of the means necessary for driving the control parts.

• un premier élément de commande de verrouillage ayant une mobilité entre une première position de commande et une deuxième position de commande,
• un deuxième élément de commande de verrouillage ayant une mobilité entre une première position de commande et une deuxième position de commande,
• des moyens d'entraînement du premier élément de commande et du deuxième élément de commande entre leur première position de commande et leur deuxième position de commande,

The object of the invention is to overcome all or part of the disadvantages of the techniques known hitherto. It proposes for this purpose a control device for a vehicle door locking system comprising:

• a first lock control member having a mobility between a first control position and a second control position,
• a second lock control member having a mobility between a first control position and a second control position,
• means for driving the first control element and the second control element between their first control position and their second control position,

According to a characteristic aspect, the device is such that the second control element comprises a selective coupling member, said coupling member having additional mobility relative to the remainder of the second control element between a first coupling position in which it kinematically connects the second control element and a support member of the drive means and a second coupling position in which it kinematically connects the second control element and the first control element and in which it authorizes the driving of the first control element by the support organ. In addition, it advantageously comprises means for returning the coupling member in the second coupling position when the second control element is in the second control position and return means in the first coupling position when the second element command is in the first command position.

Thus, the two control elements have coupled mobilities that allow in particular to drive them through a single engine. In this case, the number of parts necessary for the operation of the mechanism is very limited, inducing a single motor and a single power transmission kinematic chain to the two control elements.

In a preferred case, the additional mobility of the coupling member is a rotation. The member can thus easily move from one position to another by tilting. Return means employing at least one spring can easily be implemented in this embodiment. In this context, it is advantageous that the return means of the coupling member comprise a torsion spring configured to exert a return force towards the second coupling position when the first control element is in the second control position and a biasing force in the opposite direction to the first coupling position when the first control element is in the first control position.

This variant uses a single spring to make two return efforts in opposite directions. This is made possible by taking advantage of the translational movement of the coupling member in the mobility of the second coupling element. This displacement modifies the relative position of the anchoring points of the spring and that of the axis of rotation of the coupling member so that the direction of rotation that tends to exert the force of the spring on the coupling member is reversed.

As a preference, the mobility of the second control element between the first control position and the second control position is a translation. In addition, the mobility of the first control element between first control position and the second control position can be alternatively or alternatively a translation, the translation paths of the first control element and the second control element being preferably parallel.

The invention may further optionally include at least any of the following:

• the coupling member comprises an application surface of a first bearing surface of the support member adapted to push the second control element from its first control position to its second control position, the body coupling being in its first coupling position;
• the force exerted by the support member on the application surface is configured to oppose the effort of the return means;
• the support member comprises a second bearing surface adapted to push the first control element from its first control position to its second control position when the coupling member is in its second coupling position and the first control element is in its second control position;
• the support member comprises a third bearing surface adapted to push the first control element from its second control position to its first control position, said first control element driving the second control element from its second position of control to its first control position, when the coupling member is in its second position;
• the second control element comprises a guide zone around which the coupling member is rotatably mounted;
• the second control element comprises a stud around which the coupling member is rotatably mounted;
• a controlled element comprising means for guiding the block in translation;
• it comprises a body provided with a guide surface of the mobilities of the first control element, the second control element and the coupling member.

The invention also relates to a vehicle door locking system comprising a control device, and to a vehicle door comprising an interior handle operable from the inside of a passenger compartment, an external handle operable by the outside of the vehicle. the cockpit and featuring the Lock system. The invention also relates to a vehicle having at least one locking system.

By way of preference, the locking system comprises combined locking means able to act simultaneously on an inner handle and on an outer handle and dedicated locking means able to act solely on the inner handle, the first command element controlling the combined locking means and the second control element controlling the dedicated locking means.

According to another possibility, the system comprises dedicated locking means, the first control element acting on the locking of an outer handle, the second control element acting on the locking. an internal handle, which can be sequentially combined to act simultaneously on the two locks

An embodiment of the support member is given in figure 22 . It is also put in situation, according to three operating positions, to Figures 21, 21 bis and 21 ter.

The figure 23 is an exploded perspective view of the elements appearing in the embodiment shown in FIG. figure 1 bis.

The Figures 24 and 25 show a first position of the second control element and the Figures 26, 27 represent a second position.

The Figures 28 and 29 relate to a first position of the first control element. The latter is visible in Figures 30 and 31 in a second position.

The figure 1 shows a device according to the invention provided with a first control element 6 and a second control element 7. In the case shown, the first control element 6 has the shape of an elongated lever that can pass from a first position at a second position by a translational movement. By this movement, the first control element 6 makes it possible to make active or inactive a member (not shown) allowing the actuation of a lock element and in particular a handle. The controlled member can further ensure the activation or deactivation of several lock elements and for example several handles such as an interior handle to a passenger compartment and a handle outside the cabin.

The second control element 7 is partially illustrated in figure 1 with a coupling member 10. However, it appears in other figures and in particular in FIG. figure 12 a stud 8 integral part of the second coupling element 7. Both the first element 6 and the second element 7 may consist of a plurality of parts being understood that the assembly of an element 6 or 7 comprises at least a mobility to move from a first position to a second position.

In the embodiment shown in the figures, the second element 7 is also mounted in translation to move from the first position to the second position. In particular, it is the movement followed by the pad 8.

To drive the control elements 6 and 7 in their translational movement, the embodiment of the invention implements a single motor, in particular with a motor 2 of the electric micromotor type whose output shaft is coupled to a screw endless 3 meshing on a gear sector 4 comprising a support member 5. The engine torque transmitted to the support member 5 allows to pass a portion of the latter, represented in the form of a zone d. support on the different figures, in different angular positions and to successively or alternately efforts on the control elements 6 and 7.

While one could think that a single support member 5 is unable to perform selective commands of the two control elements 6 and 7, the invention makes it possible to perform several configurations for positioning the two control elements 6, 7. In particular, as will be described later in detail, the first control element 6 can be put in first position as the second control element 7. In another situation both the first element 6 and the second element 7 are in the second position and in a third configuration, the first element 6 is in a first position while the second element 7 is in a second position.

This ability to achieve several combinations of position of the control elements is in particular offered by the implementation of a selective coupling member marked 10 and whose operating situation influences the training phases by the support member 5.

Before describing in more detail the coupling member 10, reference is made to the figure 2 , that the body 1 capable of framing the entire internal mechanism of the device of the invention comprises, advantageously in a central cavity or a light, different surfaces capable of guiding the movement of the parts, in particular the first control element 6, the second control element 7 and the coupling member 10 forming part of the second control element 7. The function of each of the guide surfaces 24 a, b, c, d, e represented in FIG. figure 2 will be described in detail below with reference to the operating phases of the device.

Referring now to the figure 4 , there is shown a coupling member 10 having a substantially elongated end in the form of an arm 30 whose distal end forms a first application surface 14 adapted to cooperate in certain configurations with a first bearing surface 27 of the support member 5. The other end of the coupling member 10 has a shape oriented substantially transversely relative to the arm portion 30 and has a light of rotational guidance 16 allowing the displacement of the stud 8 which drives the controlled member 11 presented for example in figure 1 bis with the ability to rotate around a guide zone 13. The displacement of the stud 8 in the guide slot 16 is not shown in the figures. Returning to figure 4 , the coupling member 10 has at one end substantially opposite to the first application surface 14 a second application surface 15 which will be seen to cooperate with a portion of the first control element 6.

The figure 5 allows to display the guidance offered by the body 1 on the coupling member 10. Thus, a guide pin 25 formed on the member 10 can cooperate with the guide surfaces 24b and 24c previously introduced. A guide zone 26 also made on the coupling member 10 is guided at a surface 24a of the body 1.

The member 10 is in the case shown provided with additional mobility relative to the remainder of the second control element 7, this additional mobility being, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, a rotation about a rotation axis substantially defined by the stud 8. Note that the stud 8 itself comprises at least one guide pin 9 presented for example in figure 1 bis for its guidance in translation in the controlled member 11. It is understood that the coupling member 10 can move from at least a first angular situation to a second angular situation. The invention takes advantage of this variable configuration of the coupling member 10 to achieve different phases of operation of the entire device.

Feedback means are provided to return the coupling member to a desired position by default. In the example, the return means comprise in particular a spring and more specifically a torsion spring 17 schematized at Figures 12 to 20 . One of the arms of the torsion spring 17 is anchored at the mark 18 on the coupling member 10 while the second arm 19 is anchored at an anchor point 19 on the body 1 or other part of the fixed device relative to the tilting of the organ 10.

The mobilities of the elements 6, 7 of the coupling member 10 are produced by driving the support member 5 at different surfaces where the transmission of forces occurs. Thus, in a first position of the coupling member 10 corresponding substantially to that of the Figures 4 to 7 and Figures 12 to 14 , the first application surface 14 can come into contact with a first bearing surface 27 of the support member 5. A rotation of the gear sector 4 in the clockwise direction then makes it possible to push the second control element 7 into position. translation from a first position corresponding to the illustrations of Figures 4, 5 and 12 at a second position corresponding to the illustrations of Figures 6, 7 and 14 going through a transitional situation appearing in figure 13 .

The support member 5 further comprises a second bearing surface 28 appearing in particular to the figures 8 and 10 to cooperate with the first control element 6 so as to cause it to a first position corresponding to that illustrated in FIGS. Figures 4 to 9 and 12 to 15 to a second position corresponding to Figures 10 and 11 and again 17 and 18 not passing a transient position appearing for example in figure 16 .

The support member 5 finally comprises a third bearing surface 29, for example visible in figure 10 and allowing to push, in the opposite direction to the thrust of the second bearing surface 28, on the first element 6 so as to drive it in a reverse translation to the previous from the second position to its first position. Thus we find the initial position of the first control element as it is apparent from the figure 20 for example. In this phase, note that a force is further transmitted between the first element 6 and the second element 7 so that the return thrust generated by the support member 5 in this phase also produces a return of the second element 7 so as to return to the starting configuration as shown in the extreme figures of the operating cycle corresponding to the figures 12 and 20 . The support between the first element 6 and the second element 7 is effected in the illustrated case by means of an inner surface 22 on a tooth 20 projecting on the element 6 towards the second element 7 which comprises as previously indicated a second application surface 15 adapted, when the member 10 is tilted, to interfere with the retraction path of the inner surface 22 in the tooth 20 from the second position of the element 6 to its first position . This support is revealed in particular figure 19 or at the figure 10 .

During all these phases, the element 6 is advantageously guided by the surfaces 24 d and 24 e of the body 1 to operate a translation.

The figure 22 shows alone an embodiment of the support member 5. The three bearing surfaces 27, 28, 29 that it carries are visible there. In addition, the cooperation between the support member 5 and the coupling member 10, through the first bearing surface 27 is detailed in FIG. figure 21 . Similarly, the second support surface 28 is illustrated in the active position in figure 21 bis, to push the first control element 6. Finally, the figure 21 ter specifies the retrograde thrust generated by the third surface 29 of the support member 5, so as to move the first control element 6 to its first position.

The various phases of the operating method of the device according to the invention are now described in detail by going through the Figures 12 to 20 .

The configuration of the figure 12 corresponds to element 6 and element 7 each in their first control position. By way of example, the first command position corresponds to a command to deactivate a lock or unlock. In this situation, the coupling member 10 of the second element 7 is in a first angular position so that the first application surface 14 can interfere with the trajectory of the support member 5 when the motor drives the latter rotation in the clockwise direction (here purely indicative). Thus, the activation of the engine in this situation produces a thrust from right to left of the second element 7. During this thrust, the return means 17 is energized as illustrated in FIG. figure 13 in a phase of translational movement of the element 7.

Returning to figure 13 the translational movement is operated and continued to the second position of the second control element 7 shown in FIG. figure 14 . In this phase, maintaining a torque on the support member 5 makes it possible to maintain the contact between the latter and the first application surface 14 of the coupling element 10. To achieve this, whereas in this phase the coupling member 10 is capable of tilting under the effect of the return means 17, the motor means are configured so that the force produced at the contact between the first bearing surface 27 and the first application surface 14 is in higher standard and in the opposite direction to the return force produced by the torsion spring 17.

It should be noted that while in the case of figure 12 the relative positions of the anchoring points 18, 19 of the torsion spring 17 tended to rotate the coupling member 10 in a counterclockwise direction, their relative positions in the case of the figure 13 have an opposite tendency to know to rotate the coupling member 11 in a clockwise direction. This is due to the relative modification of the anchoring points 18, 19 and the tilting axis of the coupling member 10 due to the translation of the stud 8 materializing the axis of rotation of the additional mobility of the coupling member 10.

So, in figure 14 a second configuration of the device is reached in which the first element 6 is in the first position and the second element 7 is in its second position.

We can move on to an additional configuration as shown by the sequence of Figures 15 to 17 . In figure 15 , the engine torque has been released so that there is no longer support of the support member 5 on the coupling member 10 capable of opposing the force of the torsion spring 17. From in this case, the coupling member 10 rotates around the stud 8 in a clockwise direction and the application surface 14 escapes from the rotational trajectory of the support member 5. In this situation, and in referring to the figure 8 , it is noted that the second bearing surface 29 of the support member 5 can be applied to a corresponding surface of the first control element 6 during additional rotation of the support member 5 in the direction schedule. This is illustrated in figure 16 where the control element 6 starts to move from its first position to its second position, the second position it reaches in figure 17 . In this situation, both the first element 6 and the second element 7 are in their second position. At the same time, the coupling member 10 is tilted so that it is on the withdrawal trajectory of the element 6. Note, particularly as visible in FIG. figure 16 , that we take advantage of the mounting elastic return means of the coupling element 10 and cooperating portions inclined in particular at a front surface 21 and a recess 23 on the tooth 20 of the element 6 so that the coupling element 10 fades slightly during the right-to-left movement of the element 6.

The return to the first configuration of the device corresponding to the figure 12 is illustrated by the phases of Figures 18 to 20 .

In these situations, a third bearing surface 29 located on the support member 5 and for example visible in figure 10 allows, when the motorization is reversed, to transmit the movement of the support member 5 in a trigonometric direction to the element 6 to drive it to its first position. It is this transitional phase which appears in particular figure 19 . During this movement, the second application surface 15 undergoes the force produced by the inner surface 22 of the tooth 20 of the element 6 so that the second control element 7 is also driven in a translation movement towards its first position. During this movement, due to the presence of the guide surfaces of the coupling element 10, as well as the presence of the return means, the coupling element 10 is returned to its first angular position. In the end, we reach the position of the figure 20 corresponding to the initial position of the figure 12 . At this point, the motorization can be stopped.

Three different configurations of two combined control elements 6, 7 have thus been achieved by means of this sequence by means of a single actuator and a single support member 5.

It should be noted that the controls can be inhibited by various means, in particular by blocking a mobility of a controlled part, or by disengaging a kinematic transmission, the transmissions to lock elements being able to take place by any means of transmission such as rods or cables.

The figures 1 bis and 23 to 31 show, however, a possible embodiment for certain components involved in the actuation of controlled elements. In this example, as shown in figures 1 bis and 23, the first control element is intended to cooperate functionally with a controlled member 32 pivoting. The displacement of the controlled member 32 is, if the configuration of the first control element 6 allows, produced by an actuator 33 for the example with a rotary movement.

Similarly, the controlled element 11 is capable, according to the configuration of the second control element 7, to make a movement, such a rotation, under the effect of an actuator 31 for example acting as a lever. Thus, Figures 24 and 25 show, in first position of the second control element 7, the actuator 31 drives the stud 8 itself kinematically connected to the controlled member 11 to transmit a movement.

On the contrary, Figures 26 and 27 , the second control element is in the second position, in which position the stud 8 is located in an enlarged sector 36 of the actuator 32 so that a displacement of the stud 8 is allowed. This deflection disables the effect of the actuator 31 on the controlled member 11 which receives no movement.

The influence of the first control element 6 operates in a similar manner as in the example of the Figures 28 to 31 . In these figures, the controlled member 32 is located in a kinematic chain comprising an actuator lever 33 rotated about the axis 38. The transmission member 35 is provided with a light 37 which allows it to follow the movement of translation of the control member 6, and a solid end 35a which is interposed between the transmission arm 33a of the lever 33 and the piece 32. When the first control element 6 moves back, the transmission member 35 accompanies it in return by a recall not shown spring.

So, in figure 28 and 29 , the transmission member 35 is rotated by the lever 33 about the axis 38, and pushes the rotation of the part 32 in the opposite direction. The return movements of the controlled member 32 and the lever 33 are provided by spring return not shown.

In figure 30 and 31 on the contrary, the translation of the first control element 6 and thus of the transmission member 35 has disengaged the solid end 35a of the transmission arm 33a, which has the consequence of allowing the lever 33 to rotate without causing the body command 32. Note that during this movement, the translation of the transmission member 35 can continue.

Of course, more than two control elements can be implemented in the device thus described. They can also form more than two control positions. The movements presented in the previous embodiment are not limiting and variations are within the scope of the present invention defined by the appended claims. In particular, the choice between rotational mobility and translation of the parts is not limiting and any other combination can be considered.
