Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device articulation of a motor vehicle opening, in particular a tailgate, which is pivotally mounted on the structure of the vehicle body.
- the invention relates more particularly to a device articulation in which the opening is pivotally mounted, in particular between a first extreme closed position and a second extreme position opened via a mechanism with two parallel axes of articulation connected by minus a link rod.
- Such a device is for example described and shown in document FR-A-2.717.213.
- a implementation of such a hinge device more particularly to ensure the pivoting mounting of a tailgate which, in the closed position, extends in a plane substantially vertical and which, in the open position; extends in a plane substantially horizontal above the vehicle.
- the tailgate When the rear part of a vehicle is fitted with a such tailgate, as is the case in vehicles for example of the "minivan" type, the tailgate is of dimensions and significant mass.
- This second document thus proposes, to facilitate the tailgate handling, to incorporate into the hinge device means of balancing the opening which apply a balancing torque which compensates for the resisting torque due to the opening mass.
- the user in order to be able to open or close the tailgate easily, must have a relatively large minimum space at the rear of the vehicle to allow at least the tailgate travel between its extreme closed position and its extreme position open, travel during which the panel which constitutes the tailgate moves, during the first part of the trajectory from the closed position, substantially parallel to itself and oriented substantially vertically.
- the panel goes through a substantially middle position between its two extreme positions in which it extends at a distance from the rear vertical plane of the vehicle which is substantially equal to the length of the connecting rods, this distance determining a trajectory of the lower edge of the panel, in an arc of a circle the radius increases due to the design of the articulation and movement control device which uses a rack whose longitudinal ends front and rear gears cooperate with fixed gears respectively on the structure of the opening body and on the structure of the panel.
- the object of the invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing an improved articulation device which allows you to open the tailgate even if the space available at the rear of the vehicle is very limited, especially when another vehicle is parked near the bumper back.
- the invention provides a device of the type mentioned above, characterized in what the direction of pivoting of the sash, relative to the second end of the connecting rod, reverses during pivoting movement of the first end of the connecting rod, relative to the structure of the vehicle body, between two extreme angular positions associated with the positions closed and open ends of the sash.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of the rear part of a motor vehicle 10 whose body 12 is open at the rear to allow access to the passenger compartment 14 of the vehicle and for example its load.
- the opening is delimited by a frame which extends in a substantially vertical plane and which is essentially consisting of two vertical lateral uprights one of which is shown in Figure 1, the side upright opposite being arranged symmetrically with respect to the plane longitudinal median of general symmetry of the vehicle, and by two upper 18 and lower 20 crosspieces which delimit a recess, the closure of which is ensured by an opening 22, also called tailgate, which is generally pivotally mounted relative to the structure of the vehicle body 12, around horizontal axes.
- an opening 22 also called tailgate
- Tailgate 22 is shown in the extreme open position maximum in Figure 1.
- the opening 22 is mounted swiveling on the body 12 by a two-axis system horizontal articulation geometries A1 and A2 thanks to a articulation mechanism with two parallel connecting rods which extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and one of which 24 is illustrated in the figures.
- first front end 26 is hinged on the structure of the vehicle body around the first front axis A1 while the second opposite end 28 is articulated on the opening 22 around the second rear axis of articulation A2, parallel to the first axis of articulation A1, these two axes extending in the general direction transverse of the vehicle.
- the first articulation axis A1 is located vertically in the vicinity of the crosspiece 18 and, in the extreme position opening, the tailgate 22 extends in a plane substantially horizontal above the vehicle 10 and in particular partly at above his flag.
- the movement of pivoting of the opening 22 about the axis A2, relative to the second end 28 of the connecting rod 24, is generally controlled to the pivoting movement of the first end 26 of the connecting rod 24 relative to the structure 12, 16 of the body of the vehicle by a servo mechanism.
- the body of the connecting rod 24 is essential consisting of a sheet metal part cut and stamped in the general form of a plate 32 whose longitudinal and parallel edges 34A and 34B are folded at a right angle.
- the connecting rod 30 is thus in the form of a body hollow in which various components are arranged belonging to the servo mechanism.
- the servo mechanism 30 includes a rack 36 whose tubular body is slidably mounted longitudinally inside the connecting rod 24 according to a sliding general direction C, in a first direction C1 forward and in a second direction C2 backward.
- the free front end 38 of the rack 36 is a toothed sector whose teeth 40 cooperate with the teeth in opposite 42 of a first toothed pinion P1 of axis A1 fixed on a structural element of the vehicle body by through a screw 44 which carries a socket 46 for the rotational mounting, around axis A1, of the rear end 26 of the connecting rod 30.
- the toothed end 38 is maintained in cooperation with the teeth of the pinion P1 by means of a roller 45 which la spring loaded under the action of a spring 46 fixed to the connecting rod 24.
- the rear free end 28 of the rod 30 body is shaped like a fork with two parallel branches 28A and 28B which are interconnected by the shaped body of plate 32.
- the second rear end of the rack 36 is shaped like a fork with two branches articulated.
- tubular body divides into Y by two rear end branches 50A and 50B each of which its free end, around a pivot 52A, 52B, a section toothed rack 54A, 54B.
- the two toothed sections 54A, 54B thus extend longitudinally rearward, substantially parallel to the sliding direction C, from their longitudinal parts rear which are mounted articulated on the branches 50A and 50B around axes parallel to axes A1 and A2.
- Each toothed branch or section 54A, 54B extends forward beyond the pivot 52A, 52B by a tail 56A, 56B each of which carries a finger 58A, 58B which extends laterally and which cooperates with one of the branches 60A, 60B of a spring in wire 60 whose body is helically wound around a finger 62 which is slidably mounted in a rectilinear light 64 formed in the plate 32 of the body of the connecting rod 24 and which extends longitudinally in direction C, being delimited by its front end edges 66 and rear end 68.
- For sliding finger 62 with the rack 36 its other end is crimped into a hole 69 in the body of the rack.
- the toothed section 54A is resiliently stressed continuously rotating around the axis of the pivot 52A in clockwise considering Figures 3 to 5, while the opposite toothed section 54B is rotated in the counterclockwise, that is, the spring 60 tends to permanence of bringing teeth 72A, 72B closer to both sections towards each other and towards the second rear axis of articulation A2 located inside the fork.
- the second plate 70 of the body of the connecting rod 24 door in the vicinity from the rear end 28 of the latter, a pivot 74 of axis A2.
- the pivot 74 is fixed to the plate 70 and it carries in rotation, with interposition of sliding rings 76, a sleeve bearing 78 on which is rotatably mounted, about the axis A2, the body of the second toothed pinion P2 with which the sections 54A and 54B of the rack 36.
- the pinion P2 is centered by a shoulder 80 in a semicircular hole 82 of the rear part of the plate 32 of the rod body 24.
- the bearing sleeve 78 has a radial groove internal 84 in which a complementary edge 86 is received a plate 88 belonging to the tailgate 22.
- the pinion P2 is linked in rotation to the plate 88 of the tailgate 22 by means of a screw 90, eccentric with respect to the axis A2, which crosses the tab 88 and a socket 92, in which it is screwed, and which is itself carried by the pinion P2.
- the sleeve 92 is slidably mounted in a light 94 in an arc formed in the plate 32 in the vicinity of the rear end 28 of the connecting rod 24 which is delimited by two rounded ends 96 and 98.
- the pinion P2 is thus linked in rotation to the tab 88 of the tailgate 22 and the rear end 28 of the connecting rod 24 is mounted at rotation about the axis A2 relative to the leg 88 of the tailgate 22 and therefore relative to the pinion P2, the light 94 being centered on axis A2.
- the toothed pinion P2 has two toothed sectors 100A and 100B centered around the axis A2, the radius of the sector toothed 100A being greater than the radius of the toothed sector 100B.
- the teeth of the first toothed sector 100A are provided to mesh with the teeth opposite 72A of the section 54A of rack 36 while the teeth of the second sector toothed 100B are provided to mesh with the teeth 72B of the section 54B and this under the action of the spring 60.
- each of the two sections 54A, 548 comprises a finger control 102A, 102B which extend laterally opposite folded edges 34A and 34B of the end branches rear 28A and 28B of the body of the connecting rod 24.
- the folded edges 34A and 34B of the branches 28A and 28B of the rear end 28 of the connecting rod 24 constitute profiles or cams for controlling the angular positions of the sections teeth 54A and 54B which determine the engagement or engagement teeth 72A, 72B of these sections with the sectors teeth 100A and 100B of the second pinion P2.
- edge 34A of the branch 28A comprises at its free end rear an external surface 104A of clearance of section 54A, which is of centered curved profile around the axis A2 and which extends backwards, beyond a slot or notch 106A, by an internal face 108A of control of engagement or engagement of section 54A with sector 100A of pinion P2.
- edge 34B has at the end rear of branch 28B an internal engagement profile 108B the toothed section 54B which extends beyond a slot or notch 106B, towards the front by an external face 106B of clearance of section 54B.
- the rack 36 occupies its extreme rear position relative to connecting rod 24, the pivot 68 and the spring 60 being in particular located opposite the rear end 68 of the light 64.
- control finger 102A of the section 54A cooperates with the external clearance surface 104A towards which it is elastically stressed by the action of the strand 60A of the spring 60.
- control finger 102B of the section toothed 54B cooperates with the internal engagement surface 108B, i.e. the toothed section 54B cannot rotate clockwise considering figure 3, around the axis of its pivot 52B, thus ensuring the engagement teeth 72B with teeth of the toothed sector 100B of the pinion P2, the teeth being further solicited in cooperation by the action of the strand 60B of the spring 60.
- the tailgate 22 will generally pivot around the horizontal articulation axis A2 clockwise, i.e. its lower edge 23 will not describe the circular path T 'centered around axis A1, as in the case of the state of the art, but that he will instead describe the first part of the trajectory T illustrated in the figure.
- this first part trajectory during which the lower edge 23 gradually approaches the rear vertical plane of the vehicle greatly reduces the minimum distance L between the rear bumper 17 of the vehicle and the front bumper 19 of a vehicle parked behind and nearby.
- the connecting rod 24 is substantially horizontal orientation.
- the fingers 102A and 102B for controlling the sections teeth 54A and 54B are exactly opposite the slots 106A and 106B.
- the last tooth 100B 'of the toothed sector 100B of pinion P2 cooperates with the last tooth 72B 'of the toothed section 54B while the first tooth 100A 'of the toothed sector 100A cooperates with the first tooth 72A 'of the toothed section 54A.
- the control finger 102A no longer cooperates with the external clearance surface 104A and, under the action of the strand 60A of the spring 60, the toothed section 54A pivots about the axis of the pivot 52A, clockwise when considering the figures, so as to cause the meshing of the first teeth 72A 'and 100A'.
- the pivot 62 which carries the spring 60 is substantially mid-length of the light 64, i.e. the rack 36 is generally at mid-length of its maximum stroke by relative to the body of the connecting rod 24.
- the control finger 102B of the toothed section 52B of the rack 36 cooperates with the external surface of clearance 104B and, despite the action of the spring strand 60B 60, the toothed section 54B cannot pivot around the axis of its pivot 52B, counterclockwise, so it cannot accidental engagement between teeth 72B and teeth of sector 100B of pinion P2.
- control finger 102A cooperates with the internal engagement surface 108A so as to guarantee that teeth 72A always mesh with the teeth of the toothed sector 100A.
- the tailgate may well heard to be equipped with means (not shown on the figures) of known design which compensate for its mass and which facilitate its maneuvers.
