Description

L'invention concerne une serrure pour un ouvrant de véhicule automobile, notamment pour un ouvrant de véhicule tel qu'une portière, un hayon, ou un coffre de véhicule automobile.The invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle opening, in particular for a vehicle opening such as a door, a tailgate, or a trunk of a motor vehicle.

Une serrure de véhicule automobile est destinée à être montée fixe sur un ouvrant de véhicule automobile et comporte typiquement un pêne destiné à être mû, par exemple par pivotement lors de la fermeture dans un sens autour d'une gâche fixée sur la structure du véhicule automobile afin d'assurer la fermeture de l'ouvrant. L'ouverture de l'ouvrant est permise par un mouvement inverse tel qu'une rotation du pêne en sens inverse. La rotation en sens inverse lors de l'ouverture de l'ouvrant fait suite au déplacement de la poignée extérieure ou intérieure qui est reliée à la serrure par un moyen de commande qui agit généralement sur un levier d'ouverture afin de faire pivoter ce dernier qui libère à son tour le pêne via un dispositif d'accrochage dans la direction souhaitée.A motor vehicle lock is intended to be fixedly mounted on an opening of a motor vehicle and typically comprises a bolt intended to be moved, for example by pivoting during closing in one direction around a keeper fixed to the structure of the motor vehicle. in order to ensure the closing of the opening. The opening of the leaf is allowed by a reverse movement such as a rotation of the bolt in the opposite direction. The rotation in the opposite direction during the opening of the leaf follows the movement of the external or internal handle which is connected to the lock by a control means which generally acts on an opening lever in order to make the latter pivot. which in turn releases the bolt via a latching device in the desired direction.

Outre les poignées intérieures et extérieures des ouvrants équipant le véhicule, l'autorisation d'ouverture de la serrure est également commandée par la clé du véhicule, soit mécaniquement soit électriquement par un signal électrique.In addition to the interior and exterior handles of the opening elements fitted to the vehicle, the authorization to open the lock is also controlled by the vehicle key, either mechanically or electrically by an electrical signal.

Les serrures comportent généralement, outre une fonction ou un état neutre de déverrouillage, plusieurs fonctions ou états de condamnation qui sont la condamnation extérieure qui permet d'empêcher l'ouverture de la serrure uniquement depuis l'extérieur du véhicule, la condamnation intérieure, dite "sécurité enfant", qui permet d'empêcher l'ouverture de la serrure uniquement depuis l'intérieur du véhicule, et la fonction dite "supercondamnation" qui permet d'empêcher l'ouverture de la serrure à la fois depuis l'intérieur et depuis l'extérieur.The locks generally comprise, in addition to a neutral unlocking function or state, several locking functions or states which are the external locking which makes it possible to prevent the opening of the lock only from outside the vehicle, the internal locking, known as "child safety", which makes it possible to prevent the opening of the lock only from inside the vehicle, and the so-called "deadlock" function which makes it possible to prevent the opening of the lock both from inside and from outside.

Il existe par exemple dans l'état de la technique des serrures de porte à double effet ou à triple effet. Une serrure a double effet présente notamment un effet de verrouillage et un effet de déverrouillage, qui est reliée à une unité de commande par l'intermédiaire de trois conducteurs, dont deux sont utilisés en transfert de puissance et un en transfert d'informations. Les serrures de porte dites à triple effet, présentent deux états de verrouillage, un premier état de "condamnation" dans lequel la porte est verrouillée et un deuxième état de "supercondamnation" qui correspond à un mode de verrouillage dans lequel la serrure est incrochetable et ne peut être déverrouillée que par commande électrique.There are for example in the state of the art double-acting or triple-acting door locks. A double-acting lock has in particular a locking effect and an unlocking effect, which is connected to a control unit via three conductors, two of which are used for power transfer and one for information transfer. The so-called triple-acting door locks have two locking states, a first state of "locking" in which the door is locked and a second state of "deadlock" which corresponds to a locking mode in which the lock is unpickable and can only be unlocked by electric control.

Dans les ouvrants de certains véhicules tels que les poids lourds ou camions, une fonction additionnelle existe pour protéger l'inviolabilité des utilisateurs. En effet, lorsqu'un chauffeur dort dans sa cabine, il arrive qu'une tentative d'inviolabilité s'opère par agression par exemple du verrou extérieur, de la poignée intérieure en passant par le lécheur de vitre, ou autre.In the doors of certain vehicles such as heavy goods vehicles or trucks, an additional function exists to protect the inviolability of users. Indeed, when a driver sleeps in his cabin, it happens that an attempt at inviolability takes place by attacking, for example, the exterior lock, the interior handle passing through the window cleaner, or the like.

Pour pallier ces agressions, et protéger le chauffeur ainsi que le contenu de la cabine, voire de la remorque, les constructeurs ajoutent une sécurité supplémentaire en utilisant une interface qui permet de verrouiller la porte, indépendamment de la serrure.To mitigate these attacks, and protect the driver as well as the contents of the cabin, or even the trailer, manufacturers add additional security by using an interface that allows the door to be locked, independently of the lock.

Ces interfaces additionnelles bloquent la porte en cas d'ouverture. Elles sont totalement indépendantes de la serrure principale de porte et s'activent mécaniquement.These additional interfaces block the door if it is opened. They are completely independent of the main door lock and are activated mechanically.

Ces solutions additionnelles nécessitent une interface particulière sur la porte totalement indépendante de la serrure de porte. Ces interfaces peuvent s'activer sans condamnation de la serrure par exemple. Ce type d'interface est connu de la demande DE102013001951 . Ces solutions sont néanmoins intrusives dans l'environnement de la cabine.These additional solutions require a special interface on the door that is completely independent of the door lock. These interfaces can be activated without locking the lock, for example. This type of interface is known on demand DE102013001951 . These solutions are nonetheless intrusive in the cabin environment.

L'invention vise à résoudre tout ou partie de ces inconvénients en proposant une serrure pour ouvrant de véhicule automobile qui soit simple et fiable, et en utilisant un mécanisme qui s'intègre dans la serrure tout en permettant de protéger et sécuriser l'utilisateur d'agressions externes mécaniques ou électriques.The invention aims to resolve all or part of these drawbacks by providing a lock for a motor vehicle opening which is simple and reliable, and by using a mechanism which is integrated into the lock while making it possible to protect and secure the user. 'external mechanical or electrical attacks.

L'invention vise également à proposer une solution qui ne soit pas intrusive, qui cohabite avec les fonctions de la serrure dans un cycle d'activation et qui soit évolutive jusqu'à une activation centralisée.The invention also aims to provide a solution which is not intrusive, which coexists with the functions of the lock in an activation cycle and which is upgradeable to centralized activation.

À cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une serrure pour un ouvrant de véhicule automobile comprenant un mécanisme principal pour commander un pêne, ledit pêne étant mobile entre une position ouverte et une position fermée dans laquelle le pêne est configuré pour coopérer avec une gâche, la serrure comprenant des moyens de commande pour commander le mécanisme principal qui comprend le pêne, les moyens de commande comprenant :

  • une pluralité de mécanismes secondaires connectés chacun au mécanisme principal pour le commander,
  • une pluralité d'interfaces utilisateur, chacune étant connectée à l'un des mécanismes secondaires, configurées pour être actionnées par un utilisateur et permettant l'activation des mécanismes secondaires,
To this end, the invention relates to a lock for a motor vehicle opening comprising a main mechanism for controlling a bolt, said bolt being movable between an open position and a closed position in which the bolt is configured to cooperate with a keeper. , the lock comprising control means for controlling the main mechanism which comprises the bolt, the control means comprising:
  • a plurality of secondary mechanisms each connected to the main mechanism to control it,
  • a plurality of user interfaces, each connected to one of the secondary mechanisms, configured to be actuated by a user and allowing the activation of the secondary mechanisms,

la serrure comprenant un mécanisme d'inhibition configuré pour inhiber tous les moyens de commande du mécanisme principal et/ou secondaires, à partir d'au moins un moyen d'activation et de désactivation formant une commande distincte du mécanisme d'inhibition.the lock comprising an inhibition mechanism configured to inhibit all the control means of the main and / or secondary mechanism, from at least one activation and deactivation means forming a separate control of the inhibition mechanism.

Grâce à la combinaison de ces caractéristiques, un utilisateur dispose d'un moyen d'activation et de désactivation centralisé pour inhiber à partir de cette dite commande, tous les moyens de commande de la serrure du véhicule. Cette commande est distincte notamment des interfaces utilisateurs connectées aux mécanismes secondaires.Thanks to the combination of these characteristics, a user has a centralized activation and deactivation means to inhibit from this said command, all the control means of the vehicle lock. This command is distinct in particular from the user interfaces connected to the secondary mechanisms.

Le mécanisme secondaire commande le mécanisme principal. Les interfaces utilisateur (In) permettent d'agir sur les mécanismes secondaires pour les autoriser à commander le mécanisme principal pour libérer le pêne et ouvrir la serrure.The secondary mechanism controls the main mechanism. The user interfaces (In) make it possible to act on the secondary mechanisms to authorize them to control the main mechanism to release the bolt and open the lock.

De cette manière, et grâce à la combinaison des caractéristiques de la présente invention, une personne qui voudrait ouvrir le véhicule manuellement en manipulant la poignée intérieure ou extérieure, ou agir en condamnation/décondamnation de la serrure électriquement à partir d'un signal émis via un faisceau électrique ou mécaniquement à partir de l'interface venant de la clé, ne pourrait en aucun cas pénétrer dans le véhicule sans intervenir sur le moyen d'activation et de désactivation, celui-ci étant bien distinct des moyens de commande du mécanisme principal. En d'autres termes, l'actionnement de l'une quelconque des interfaces utilisateur connues sur le véhicule (poignée, clé notamment) n'a pas d'effet sur le mécanisme principal. Cette inhibition commandée par le mécanisme d'inhibition peut agir soit directement sur les mécanismes secondaires, et donc indirectement sur le mécanisme principal, soit directement sur le mécanisme principal, soit encore directement sur certains ou tous les mécanismes secondaires et sur le mécanisme principal. De façon générale, l'inhibition permet de rendre inefficace toutes les actions effectuées sur les interfaces utilisateurs dédiées à ces mécanismes.In this way, and thanks to the combination of the characteristics of the present invention, a person who would like to open the vehicle manually by manipulating the interior or exterior handle, or to act in locking / unlocking the lock electrically from a signal emitted via an electrical harness or mechanically from the interface coming from the key, could in no case enter the vehicle without intervening on the activation and deactivation means, the latter being quite distinct from the control means of the main mechanism . In other words, the actuation of any one of the known user interfaces on the vehicle (handle, key in particular) has no effect on the main mechanism. This inhibition controlled by the inhibition mechanism can act either directly on the secondary mechanisms, and therefore indirectly on the main mechanism, or directly on the main mechanism, or even directly on some or all of the secondary mechanisms and on the main mechanism. In general, inhibition makes it possible to render ineffective all the actions performed on the user interfaces dedicated to these mechanisms.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, les moyens d'activation et de désactivation du mécanisme d'inhibition sont configurés pour être situés dans l'espace intérieur du véhicule, tel que dans l'habitacle du véhicule.According to an advantageous characteristic, the means for activating and deactivating the inhibition mechanism are configured to be located in the interior space of the vehicle, such as in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

Avantageusement, les moyens de désactivation sont mécaniques, et les moyens d'activation sont mécaniques ou électriques.Advantageously, the deactivation means are mechanical, and the activation means are mechanical or electrical.

Avantageusement encore, les moyens d'activation et de désactivation comprennent au moins un câble ou une tringlerie connecté à une interface mécanique, l'interface mécanique étant en translation telle qu'un bouton ou en rotation telle qu'un levier. Une tel mécanisme est fiable, simple, compact et peu onéreux.Again advantageously, the activation and deactivation means comprise at least one cable or a linkage connected to a mechanical interface, the mechanical interface being in translation such as a button or in rotation such as a lever. Such a mechanism is reliable, simple, compact and inexpensive.

Selon une caractéristique particulière, les moyens d'activation et de désactivation présentent une interface mécanique située directement sur une surface extérieure de la serrure.According to one particular characteristic, the activation and deactivation means have a mechanical interface located directly on an exterior surface of the lock.

Il faut comprendre par surface extérieure, la surface de la serrure orientée vers l'habitacle du véhicule automobile, offrant son accessibilité à l'utilisateur.The exterior surface should be understood to mean the surface of the lock oriented towards the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle, offering its accessibility to the user.

Le fait que les moyens d'activation et de désactivation présentent une interface mécanique sur la surface extérieure de la serrure permet à un utilisateur d'avoir accès et de contrôler ces moyens d'activation et de désactivation depuis l'habitacle du véhicule.The fact that the activation and deactivation means have a mechanical interface on the exterior surface of the lock allows a user to access and control these activation and deactivation means from the vehicle interior.

Selon une caractéristique technique particulière encore, la serrure est configurée pour être verrouillée par le mécanisme d'inhibition seulement si l'ouvrant du véhicule est dans une position fermée.According to yet another particular technical characteristic, the lock is configured to be locked by the inhibition mechanism only if the opening of the vehicle is in a closed position.

Selon une configuration technique particulière, la serrure comprend :

  • un pêne mobile entre une position d'emprisonnement d'une gâche et une position de libération d'une gâche,
  • un cliquet mobile entre une position de blocage de sorte à retenir ledit pêne en position d'emprisonnement de gâche et une position escamotée dans laquelle le pêne est libre en rotation autour de son axe,
la serrure comprenant en outre un mécanisme de condamnation et/ou de supercondamnation configuré pour inhiber un cliquet du mécanisme principal.According to a particular technical configuration, the lock comprises:
  • a bolt movable between an imprisonment position of a strike and a release position of a strike,
  • a pawl movable between a locking position so as to retain said bolt in the keeper trapped position and a retracted position in which the bolt is free to rotate around its axis,
the lock further comprising a locking and / or deadlocking mechanism configured to inhibit a pawl of the main mechanism.

Dans une telle configuration, le mécanisme d'inhibition est configuré de préférence pour inhiber le(s) mécanisme de décondamnation et/ou de désupercondamnation en plus de tous les moyens de commande du mécanisme principal, à partir du moyen d'activation et de désactivation, de manière concomitante.In such a configuration, the inhibition mechanism is preferably configured to inhibit the unlocking and / or unlocking mechanism (s) in addition to all the control means of the main mechanism, from the activation and deactivation means. , concomitantly.

Selon une autre caractéristique, l'activation du moyen d'activation et de désactivation nécessite que la serrure soit condamnée.According to another characteristic, the activation of the activation and deactivation means requires that the lock be locked.

Selon une autre caractéristique encore, l'activation du moyen d'activation et de désactivation est réalisée simultanément avec la condamnation et/ou la supercondamnation.According to yet another characteristic, the activation of the activation and deactivation means is carried out simultaneously with the locking and / or deadlocking.

Selon une autre caractéristique encore :

  • au moins une des interfaces utilisateurs comprend une clé du véhicule, et
  • au moins un des mécanisme secondaires est configuré pour être activé par ladite clé du véhicule.
According to yet another characteristic:
  • at least one of the user interfaces includes a vehicle key, and
  • at least one of the secondary mechanisms is configured to be activated by said vehicle key.

Selon une autre caractéristique encore, le mécanisme d'inhibition est configuré de telle sorte qu'une désactivation mécanique du mécanisme d'inhibition empêche l'ouverture de l'ouvrant par l'extérieur du véhicule automobile.According to yet another characteristic, the inhibition mechanism is configured such that a mechanical deactivation of the inhibition mechanism prevents the opening of the opening from the outside of the motor vehicle.

La figure 1 représente un véhicule 1 de type camion ou poids lourd. Un tel véhicule comprend généralement un porteur remorqueur ou tracteur 2 intégrant une cabine pour le conducteur du véhicule 1 et conçu pour tirer une remorque ou semi-remorque 3.The figure 1 represents a vehicle 1 of the truck or heavy vehicle type. Such a vehicle generally comprises a towing or tractor carrier 2 incorporating a cabin for the driver of the vehicle 1 and designed to pull a trailer or semi-trailer 3.

Il est à noter que la présente invention peut également s'appliquer à des véhicules types VAN, voitures fourgonnettes ou encore camping-car.It should be noted that the present invention can also be applied to VAN type vehicles, van cars or even motorhomes.

Le véhicule 1 comporte en particulier des ouvrants 4 permettant l'accès à la cabine qui intègre généralement un espace pour permettre au conducteur de dormir dans son véhicule 1. Durant ces périodes de repos notamment, une nécessité existe de garantir à l'utilisateur une inviolabilité de son véhicule 1 de sorte à assurer à la fois la sécurité de son utilisateur et éviter le vol du véhicule 1 et/ou du matériel qu'il transporte. Cela vaut aussi pour les ouvrants 4 de la remorque 3 menant au chargement transporté.The vehicle 1 comprises in particular openings 4 allowing access to the cabin which generally includes a space to allow the driver to sleep in his vehicle 1. During these periods of rest in particular, a need exists to guarantee inviolability to the user. of his vehicle 1 so as to ensure both the safety of its user and prevent the theft of the vehicle 1 and / or the equipment it is transporting. This also applies to the openings 4 of the trailer 3 leading to the transported load.

La présente invention vise à prévenir ce genre d'agression.The present invention aims to prevent this type of attack.

Une serrure 10 de véhicule automobile 1 est destinée à être montée fixe sur un ouvrant 4 de véhicule 1 automobile et comporte typiquement un pêne 11 destiné à être mû, par exemple par pivotement lors de la fermeture dans un sens autour d'une gâche (non illustrée) fixée sur la structure du véhicule 1 automobile afin d'assurer la fermeture de l'ouvrant 4.A lock 10 of a motor vehicle 1 is intended to be fixedly mounted on an opening 4 of a motor vehicle 1 and typically comprises a bolt 11 intended to be moved, for example by pivoting during closing in one direction around a strike (not illustrated) fixed to the structure of the motor vehicle 1 in order to ensure the closing of the opening 4.

L'ouverture de l'ouvrant 4 est permise par un mouvement inverse tel qu'une rotation du pêne 11 en sens inverse. La rotation en sens inverse lors de l'ouverture de l'ouvrant 4 fait suite au déplacement de la poignée 5 extérieure ou intérieure qui est reliée à la serrure par un moyen de commande qui agit généralement sur un levier d'ouverture afin de faire pivoter ce dernier qui libère à son tour le pêne 11 via un dispositif d'accrochage dans la direction souhaitée.The opening of the leaf 4 is permitted by a reverse movement such as a rotation of the bolt 11 in the opposite direction. The rotation in the opposite direction when opening the leaf 4 follows the movement of the external or internal handle 5 which is connected to the lock by a control means which generally acts on an opening lever in order to rotate the latter which in turn releases the bolt 11 via a hooking device in the desired direction.

Outre les poignées 5 intérieures et extérieures des ouvrants équipant le véhicule 1, l'état ouvert ou fermé de la serrure 10 est également commandé par la clé du véhicule, soit mécaniquement soit électriquement par un signal électrique pour condamner ou décondamner l'ouverture du véhicule.In addition to the interior and exterior handles 5 of the opening elements fitted to the vehicle 1, the open or closed state of the lock 10 is also controlled by the vehicle key, either mechanically or electrically by an electrical signal to lock or unlock the opening of the vehicle. .

En d'autres termes, comme schématisé sur la figure 2, l'ouverture d'un ouvrant 4 permettant l'accès au véhicule se fait au moyen d'une pluralité d'interfaces utilisateur In, notamment la poignée 5 extérieure formant une première interface I1, une poignée intérieure formant une seconde interfaces I2, et la clé du véhicule mécaniquement et électriquement formant respectivement une troisième et une quatrième interface I4, I3.In other words, as shown schematically on the figure 2 , the opening of an opening 4 allowing access to the vehicle is effected by means of a plurality of user interfaces In, in particular the exterior handle 5 forming a first interface I1, an interior handle forming a second interfaces I2, and the vehicle key mechanically and electrically forming respectively a third and a fourth interface I4, I3.

Plus précisément, la serrure 10 comprend un mécanisme principal 6 configuré pour déplacer le pêne entre une position ouverte et une position fermée dans laquelle le pêne 11 est lui-même configuré pour coopérer avec la gâche.More precisely, the lock 10 comprises a main mechanism 6 configured to move the bolt between an open position and a closed position in which the bolt 11 is itself configured to cooperate with the strike.

La serrure 10 comprend des moyens de commande 12 pour commander le mécanisme principal 6, les moyens de commande 12 comprenant notamment ces interfaces utilisateurs I1, I2, I3, I4 ainsi que des mécanismes secondaires 7 reliés mécaniquement au mécanisme principal 6 pour le commander. L'actionnement de l'une des interfaces I1, I2, I3, I4 par l'utilisateur permet l'activation du mécanisme secondaire 7 correspondant qui commande à son tour, successivement ou de manière concomitante, le mécanisme principal 6 agissant sur le pêne 11.The lock 10 comprises control means 12 for controlling the main mechanism 6, the control means 12 comprising in particular these user interfaces I1, I2, I3, I4 as well as secondary mechanisms 7 mechanically connected to the main mechanism 6 to control it. The actuation of one of the interfaces I1, I2, I3, I4 by the user allows the activation of the corresponding secondary mechanism 7 which in turn controls, successively or concomitantly, the main mechanism 6 acting on the bolt 11 .

Conformément à l'invention, la serrure 10 comprend un mécanisme d'inhibition 13 configuré pour inhiber tous les moyens de commande 12 du mécanisme principal 6 à partir d'un moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14 formant une commande distincte du mécanisme d'inhibition 13.According to the invention, the lock 10 comprises an inhibition mechanism 13 configured to inhibit all the control means 12 of the main mechanism 6 from an activation and deactivation means 14 forming a separate control of the control mechanism. inhibition 13.

De cette manière, un utilisateur dispose d'un moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14 centralisé pour inhiber à partir de cette dite commande, tous les moyens de commande 12 de la serrure 10. Ainsi, une personne qui voudrait ouvrir le véhicule 1 manuellement en manipulant la poignée 5 intérieure ou extérieure, ou décondamner électriquement à partir d'un signal émis via un faisceau électrique ou mécaniquement à partir de l'interface venant de la clé, ne pourrait en aucun cas pénétrer dans le véhicule 1 sans intervenir sur le moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14. En d'autres termes, l'actionnement de l'une quelconque des interfaces utilisateur In connues sur le véhicule (poignée, clé notamment) n'a pas d'effet sur le mécanisme principal 6 lorsque le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 est activé.In this way, a user has a centralized activation and deactivation means 14 to inhibit from this said command, all the control means 12 of the lock 10. Thus, a person who would like to open the vehicle 1 manually by manipulating the interior or exterior handle 5, or unlocking electrically from a signal emitted via an electrical harness or mechanically from the interface coming from the key, could in no case enter the vehicle 1 without intervening on the activation and deactivation means 14. In other words, the actuation of any one of the user interfaces In known on the vehicle (handle, key in particular) has no effect on the main mechanism 6 when the inhibition mechanism 13 is activated.

Les figures 3 et 4 illustrent des vues des mécanismes secondaires 7 et principal 6 d'une serrure 10 selon un mode de réalisation.The figures 3 and 4 illustrate views of the secondary 7 and main 6 mechanisms of a lock 10 according to one embodiment.

Dans ces figures, la serrure 10 comporte un pêne pivotant 11 destiné à coopérer avec une gâche (non représentée). Le pêne 11 est ainsi apte à pivoter autour de son axe A11 entre une position angulaire d'emprisonnement d'une gâche et une position de libération de gâche.In these figures, the lock 10 comprises a pivoting bolt 11 intended to cooperate with a keeper (not shown). The bolt 11 is thus able to pivot about its axis A11 between an angular position of imprisonment of a keeper and a position of release of the keeper.

Le pêne 11 a préférentiellement une forme de fourche délimitant une encoche 20 apte à recevoir la gâche. En position fermée de la serrure 10, le pêne 11 est bloqué en rotation par un cliquet pivotant 8, empêchant la rotation du pêne 11. Le cliquet 8 du mécanisme principal 6 est configuré pour être entraîné en rotation par un levier central d'ouverture 9. Le levier central d'ouverture 9 est configuré pour venir en appui sur le cliquet 8 directement ou par l'intermédiaire d'une pièce qui lui est solidaire et apte à déplacer ledit cliquet 8 dans sa position angulaire escamotée.The bolt 11 preferably has the shape of a fork delimiting a notch 20 capable of receiving the keeper. In the closed position of the lock 10, the bolt 11 is locked in rotation by a pivoting pawl 8, preventing the rotation of the bolt 11. The pawl 8 of the main mechanism 6 is configured to be driven in rotation by a central opening lever 9. The central opening lever 9 is configured to bear on the pawl 8 directly or by means of a part which is integral with it and capable of moving said pawl 8 into its retracted angular position.

Il est à noter que, dans la serrure 10 selon l'invention, le cliquet 8 est préférentiellement associé à un moyen de rappel de type ressort (non représenté) pour rappeler le cliquet 8 vers la position angulaire de verrouillage.It should be noted that, in the lock 10 according to the invention, the pawl 8 is preferably associated with a spring-type return means (not shown) for returning the pawl 8 to the angular locking position.

En d'autres termes, le cliquet 8 est apte à pivoter autour de son axe A8 entre une position angulaire de verrouillage dans laquelle le cliquet 8 est susceptible de coopérer en butée avec un cran du pêne 11 de manière à retenir ledit pêne 11 en position d'emprisonnement de gâche et une position angulaire escamotée dans laquelle le pêne 11 est libre en rotation autour de son axe A11.In other words, the pawl 8 is able to pivot about its axis A8 between an angular locking position in which the pawl 8 is capable of cooperating in abutment with a notch of the bolt 11 so as to retain said bolt 11 in position. lock keeper and a retracted angular position in which the bolt 11 is free to rotate about its axis A11.

En outre, le pêne 11 est apte à tourner autour de son axe de rotation A11 parallèle à un axe de rotation A8 du cliquet 8. Le levier central d'ouverture 9 est lui aussi apte à tourner autour d'un axe de rotation A9 parallèle à A11 et A8. Ceci permet d'améliorer la compacité de la serrure selon l'invention.In addition, the bolt 11 is able to rotate about its axis of rotation A11 parallel to an axis of rotation A8 of the pawl 8. The central opening lever 9 is also able to rotate about a parallel axis of rotation A9. at A11 and A8. This makes it possible to improve the compactness of the lock according to the invention.

Comme décrit précédemment, l'ouverture d'un ouvrant 4 permettant l'accès au véhicule se fait au moyen d'une pluralité d'interfaces utilisateur In, notamment :

  • la poignée 5 extérieure formant une première interface I1,
  • une poignée intérieure (non illustrée) formant une seconde interfaces I2, et
  • la clé du véhicule, autorisant mécaniquement et une commande électrique, autorisant électriquement, l'ouverture de l'ouvrant 4, formant respectivement une troisième et une quatrième interface I4, I3.
As described above, the opening of an opening 4 allowing access to the vehicle is done by means of a plurality of user interfaces In, in particular:
  • the outer handle 5 forming a first interface I1,
  • an interior handle (not shown) forming a second interfaces I2, and
  • the vehicle key, mechanically authorizing and an electric control, electrically authorizing the opening of the leaf 4, respectively forming a third and a fourth interface I4, I3.

L'actionnement de l'une des interfaces I1, I2, I3, I4 par l'utilisateur permet l'activation du mécanisme secondaire 7 correspondant qui commande à son tour ou de manière concomitante le mécanisme principal 6 agissant sur le pêne 11.The actuation of one of the interfaces I1, I2, I3, I4 by the user enables the activation of the corresponding secondary mechanism 7 which in turn or concomitantly controls the main mechanism 6 acting on the bolt 11.

L'actionnement de la poignée extérieure 5 formant une première interface I1 permet l'entrainement du mécanisme secondaire 71 qui lui est associé.The actuation of the outer handle 5 forming a first interface I1 allows the drive of the secondary mechanism 71 which is associated with it.

Plus précisément, la première interface I1 comprend la poignée extérieure du véhicule 1 associée à la serrure 10.More precisely, the first interface I1 comprises the exterior handle of the vehicle 1 associated with the lock 10.

La poignée 5 est reliée à un câble de transmission (non illustré) de type câble Bowden ou tringle, permettant de commander le mécanisme secondaire 71. Ce câble de transmission est relié à une première extrémité à la poignée extérieure 5 en question et, à une deuxième extrémité, à un levier d'ouverture 21 de la poignée extérieure 5. Le levier d'ouverture 21 est mobile en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation A21 qui est ici coaxial à l'axe de rotation A9 du levier central d'ouverture 9.The handle 5 is connected to a transmission cable (not shown) of the Bowden cable or rod type, making it possible to control the secondary mechanism 71. This transmission cable is connected at a first end to the external handle 5 in question and to a second end, to an opening lever 21 of the outer handle 5. The opening lever 21 is movable in rotation about an axis of rotation A21 which is here coaxial with the axis of rotation A9 of the central lever of opening 9.

Le mécanisme secondaire 71 est configuré de sorte que le déplacement du levier d'ouverture 21 commandé par la première interface I1 entraine dans son mouvement le levier central d'ouverture 9, ceci lorsque le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 n'est pas activé c'est-à-dire qu'il n'est pas en position d'inhiber les moyens de commande 12 du mécanisme principal. Ce mécanisme d'inhibition 13 sera décrit plus en détail ci-après. Ainsi l'actionnement de la première interface utilisateur entraine l'activation du mécanisme secondaire 71 lui-même connecté mécaniquement au mécanisme principal 6 pour le commander et par conséquent, commander le pêne 11.The secondary mechanism 71 is configured so that the movement of the opening lever 21 controlled by the first interface I1 causes in its movement the central opening lever 9, this when the inhibition mechanism 13 is not activated c ' that is to say, it is not in a position to inhibit the control means 12 of the main mechanism. This inhibition mechanism 13 will be described in more detail below. Thus, the actuation of the first user interface causes the activation of the secondary mechanism 71 which is itself mechanically connected to the main mechanism 6 in order to control it and consequently to control the bolt 11.

L'actionnement de la poignée intérieure formant seconde interface I2 permet l'entrainement du mécanisme secondaire 72 qui lui est associé.Actuation of the interior handle forming a second interface I2 allows the secondary mechanism 72 which is associated with it to be driven.

Plus précisément, la deuxième interface I2 comprend la poignée intérieure (non illustrée) du véhicule 1 associée à la serrure 10.More precisely, the second interface I2 comprises the interior handle (not shown) of the vehicle 1 associated with the lock 10.

La poignée intérieure est reliée à un câble de transmission 30 de type câble Bowden ou tringle, permettant de commander le mécanisme secondaire 72. Ce câble de transmission 30 est relié à une première extrémité à la poignée intérieure associée et, à une deuxième extrémité, à un levier d'ouverture 31 de ladite poignée intérieure.The internal handle is connected to a transmission cable 30 of the Bowden cable or rod type, making it possible to control the secondary mechanism 72. This transmission cable 30 is connected at a first end to the associated internal handle and, at a second end, to an opening lever 31 of said interior handle.

Ce levier d'ouverture 31 est configuré pour entraîner, au moyen d'un pion 32, un levier intermédiaire 33 lequel est configuré pour entraîner le levier central d'ouverture 9. Les leviers d'ouverture 31 et intermédiaire 33 sont montés en rotation de façon coaxial autour d'un même axe de rotation A31.This opening lever 31 is configured to drive, by means of a pin 32, an intermediate lever 33 which is configured to drive the central opening lever 9. The opening 31 and intermediate 33 levers are rotatably mounted. coaxial way around the same axis of rotation A31.

Ainsi l'actionnement de la deuxième interface utilisateur I2 entraine l'activation du mécanisme secondaire 72 comprenant notamment ces leviers 31, 33, ledit mécanisme secondaire 72 étant lui-même connecté mécaniquement au mécanisme principal 6 pour le commander et par conséquent, commander le pêne 11.Thus, the actuation of the second user interface I2 causes the activation of the secondary mechanism 72 comprising in particular these levers 31, 33, said secondary mechanism 72 itself being mechanically connected to the main mechanism 6 to control it and therefore to control the bolt. 11.

Concernant la troisième interface I4, la serrure comporte un mécanisme secondaire 74 auquel elle est reliée.Concerning the third interface I4, the lock comprises a secondary mechanism 74 to which it is connected.

Ce mécanisme secondaire 74 comporte un entraîneur 40 commandé électriquement et comprenant une roue dentée 41 entraînante et une roue entraînée 42 coaxiales, la roue dentée entraînante 41 étant apte à entraîner en rotation la roue entraînée 42 au moyen d'un organe d'entrainement formé par leur arbre de rotation.This secondary mechanism 74 comprises a driver 40 electrically controlled and comprising a toothed wheel 41 driving and a driven wheel 42 coaxial, the wheel driving toothed gear 41 being adapted to drive the driven wheel 42 in rotation by means of a drive member formed by their rotation shaft.

L'entraineur 40 est entraîné en rotation par un ensemble moteur 43 et vis sans fin 44 connus en soi. Le moteur 43 est capable de faire tourner la vis sans fin dans les deux sens de rotation possibles. La rotation de la vis sans fin 44 est de nature à faire tourner la roue dentée entraînante 41. Laquelle roue 41 est apte à faire tourner la roue entraînée 42 qui engraine une crémaillère 61 d'un levier de transfert 60 et qui, en tournant, est apte à déplacer en translation ledit levier de transfert 60. Ce levier de transfert 60 est quant à lui apte à agir sur le premier mécanisme secondaire 71 pour déplacer le levier central d'ouverture 9.The driver 40 is rotated by a motor 43 and worm 44 assembly known per se. The motor 43 is capable of rotating the worm in both possible directions of rotation. The rotation of the worm 44 is such as to make the driving toothed wheel 41 turn. Which wheel 41 is able to turn the driven wheel 42 which engages a rack 61 of a transfer lever 60 and which, by rotating, is able to move said transfer lever 60 in translation. This transfer lever 60 is for its part able to act on the first secondary mechanism 71 to move the central opening lever 9.

Concernant la quatrième interface I3 formée par le barillet configuré pour recevoir la tige de la clé, la serrure comporte un mécanisme secondaire 73 auquel elle est reliée.Concerning the fourth interface I3 formed by the barrel configured to receive the key's stem, the lock comprises a secondary mechanism 73 to which it is connected.

De manière connue en soit, un verrou classique comporte d'une part un corps fixe appelé stator, monté solidaire du mécanisme de fermeture et/ou de l'ouvrant, et d'autre part, un rotor formant barillet, de forme générale cylindrique, emboîté dans le corps fixe et présentant un logement pouvant accueillir une clé. Un jeu de paillettes, mobiles radialement, retient ou libère en rotation le rotor par rapport au corps fixe. Les paillettes sont déplacées lorsqu'une clé est introduite dans le logement du rotor, et le rotor n'est libéré en rotation que lorsque la clé est conforme. C'est ensuite la rotation du rotor qui déclenche le déverrouillage du mécanisme de fermeture.In a manner known per se, a conventional lock comprises on the one hand a fixed body called a stator, mounted integral with the closing mechanism and / or the opening, and on the other hand, a rotor forming a barrel, of generally cylindrical shape, nested in the fixed body and having a housing that can accommodate a key. A set of radially movable spangles retains or releases the rotor in rotation relative to the fixed body. The straws are displaced when a key is inserted into the rotor housing, and the rotor is released to rotate only when the key is compliant. It is then the rotation of the rotor which triggers the unlocking of the closing mechanism.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, le barillet est solidaire d'une roue d'entrainement 51 apte à entraîner en rotation la roue entraînée 52 en l'engrenant, cette dernière étant configurée pour déplacer le levier de transfert 60 au moyen d'un organe d'entrainement 53 solidaire de la roue entrainée 52 et en prise avec le levier de transfert 60.In this embodiment, the barrel is integral with a drive wheel 51 capable of rotating the driven wheel 52 by meshing it, the latter being configured to move the transfer lever 60 by means of a member of 'drive 53 integral with the driven wheel 52 and engaged with the transfer lever 60.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation, la liaison entre le verrou et la serrure 10 peut être réalisée par une tringle ou un cardan.According to another embodiment, the connection between the lock and the lock 10 can be produced by a rod or a cardan joint.

Comme évoqué ci-avant, le levier de transfert 60 est apte à agir sur le premier mécanisme secondaire 71 pour déplacer le levier central d'ouverture 9.As mentioned above, the transfer lever 60 is able to act on the first secondary mechanism 71 to move the central opening lever 9.

Chacun de ces mécanismes sera décrit plus en détail en référence aux figures qui suivent ainsi que le mécanisme d'inhibition qui agit sur lui.Each of these mechanisms will be described in more detail with reference to the figures which follow as well as the inhibition mechanism which acts on it.

Les figures 5, 6 et 7, illustrent des vues détaillées du mécanisme secondaire 7 configuré pour être actionné par une poignée intérieure I2 du véhicule 1 et une partie du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 agissant sur ce mécanisme secondaire 7.The figures 5 , 6 and 7 , illustrate detailed views of the secondary mechanism 7 configured to be actuated by an interior handle I2 of the vehicle 1 and a part of the inhibition mechanism 13 acting on this secondary mechanism 7.

La poignée intérieure I2 est reliée à un câble de transmission 30 de type câble Bowden permettant de commander le mécanisme secondaire 72. Ce câble de transmission 30 est relié à une première extrémité à la poignée intérieure associée et, à une deuxième extrémité, à une patte d'un levier d'ouverture 31 de ladite poignée intérieure mobile en rotation autour d'un axe A31.The internal handle I2 is connected to a transmission cable 30 of the Bowden cable type making it possible to control the secondary mechanism 72. This transmission cable 30 is connected at a first end to the associated interior handle and, at a second end, to a tab of an opening lever 31 of said interior handle movable in rotation about an axis A31.

Ce levier d'ouverture 31 est configuré pour entraîner, au moyen d'un pion 32, un levier intermédiaire 33 lequel est configuré pour entrainer du levier central d'ouverture 9. Le levier intermédiaire 33 est mobile en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation A33, coaxial à l'axe A31 de rotation du levier d'ouverture 31.This opening lever 31 is configured to drive, by means of a pin 32, an intermediate lever 33 which is configured to drive the central opening lever 9. The intermediate lever 33 is movable in rotation about an axis of rotation A33, coaxial with the axis A31 of rotation of the opening lever 31.

Le pion 31 est en prise au niveau d'une première partie 331 du levier intermédiaire 33 et présente une deuxième partie 332 opposée à la première partie 331 par rapport à l'axe de rotation A33, la deuxième partie 332 étant configurée pour coopérer avec le levier central d'ouverture 9 pour l'entrainer en rotation et commander le mécanisme principal 6. En particulier, le pion traverse une fenêtre 333 de la première partie 331 du levier intermédiaire 33, cette fenêtre présentant une forme sensiblement rectangulaire s'étendant radialement par rapport l'axe de rotation A33 dudit levier intermédiaire 33 de sorte que le pion est libre en translation dans cette fenêtre suivant cette direction radiale.The pin 31 is engaged at a first part 331 of the intermediate lever 33 and has a second part 332 opposite the first part 331 with respect to the axis of rotation A33, the second part 332 being configured to cooperate with the central opening lever 9 to drive it in rotation and control the main mechanism 6. In particular, the pin passes through a window 333 of the first part 331 of the intermediate lever 33, this window having a substantially rectangular shape extending radially through report the axis of rotation A33 of said intermediate lever 33 so that the pin is free in translation in this window in this radial direction.

La serrure comprend un mécanisme d'inhibition 13 configuré pour inhiber tous les moyens de commande du mécanisme principale 6.The lock comprises an inhibition mechanism 13 configured to inhibit all the control means of the main mechanism 6.

S'agissant du moyen de commande 12 formé par la seconde interface I2 et un deuxième mécanisme secondaire 72, le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 comporte un moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14 de type bouton poussoir (non illustré). Ce bouton 14 est relié à un câble de transmission 141 de type câble Bowden permettant de commander le mécanisme d'inhibition 13.As regards the control means 12 formed by the second interface I2 and a second secondary mechanism 72, the inhibition mechanism 13 comprises an activation and deactivation means 14 of the push-button type (not shown). This button 14 is connected to a transmission cable 141 of the Bowden cable type making it possible to control the inhibition mechanism 13.

Ce câble de transmission 141 est relié à une première extrémité au moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14 et, à une deuxième extrémité, à un levier de commande d'inhibition 80 mobile en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation A80.This transmission cable 141 is connected at a first end to the activation and deactivation means 14 and, at a second end, to an inhibition control lever 80 movable in rotation about an axis of rotation A80.

Ce levier de commande d'inhibition 80 est lié mécaniquement à un levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81 du mécanisme secondaire 72 par l'intermédiaire d'une bielle 82. Plus précisément, le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 permet, lors de son activation à partir du bouton d'activation et de désactivation 14, de débrayer le mécanisme secondaire 72 de sorte à inhiber ce moyen de commande {I2, 72}.This inhibition control lever 80 is mechanically linked to a clutch release and clutch lever 81 of the secondary mechanism 72 by means of a connecting rod 82. More precisely, the inhibition mechanism 13 makes it possible, when it is activated. from the activation and deactivation button 14, to disengage the secondary mechanism 72 so as to inhibit this control means {I2, 72}.

Le levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81 présente une fenêtre oblongue 810 configurée pour être traversée par un arbre de rotation coaxial à l'axe de rotation A31 du levier d'ouverture 31 également coaxial à l'axe de rotation A33 du levier intermédiaire 33.The release and clutch lever 81 has an oblong window 810 configured to be traversed by a rotation shaft coaxial with the axis of rotation A31 of the opening lever 31 also coaxial with the axis of rotation A33 of the intermediate lever 33 .

Du fait de la caractéristique oblongue de cette fenêtre 810, le levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81 présente à la fois un degré de liberté en rotation autour de l'axe de rotation A31, A33 et un degré de liberté en translation, selon une direction radiale à cet axe.Due to the oblong characteristic of this window 810, the clutch release and clutch lever 81 has both a degree of freedom in rotation around the axis of rotation A31, A33 and a degree of freedom in translation, according to a radial direction to this axis.

Le levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81 présente en outre une rainure 811 globalement circulaire s'étendant sur un secteur angulaire borné inférieur à 90 degrés, et de l'ordre ici d'environ 70 degrés. Cette rainure 811 s'étend autour d'un axe parallèle aux axes A31 et A33, et pas nécessairement coaxial compte tenu du degré de mobilité en translation de la pièce guidée dans la fenêtre oblongue 810.The clutch release and clutch lever 81 also has a generally circular groove 811 extending over a limited angular sector of less than 90 degrees, and here of the order of approximately 70 degrees. This groove 811 extends around an axis parallel to the axes A31 and A33, and not necessarily coaxial given the degree of mobility in translation of the part guided in the oblong window 810.

Cette rainure 811 est dimensionnée de sorte à pouvoir guider le pion 32 qui la traverse. Ainsi, la largeur de la rainure, correspondant à la dimension de la rainure prise radialement par rapport au centre de sa forme circulaire, correspond au moins localement au diamètre du pion 32 qu'elle reçoit.This groove 811 is dimensioned so as to be able to guide the pin 32 which passes through it. Thus, the width of the groove, corresponding to the dimension of the groove taken radially with respect to the center of its circular shape, corresponds at least locally to the diameter of the pin 32 which it receives.

Le levier d'ouverture 31 est disposé entre, et en particulier interposé entre le levier intermédiaire 33 et le levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81.The opening lever 31 is arranged between, and in particular interposed between the intermediate lever 33 and the clutch release and clutch lever 81.

Le pion 32 traversant le levier intermédiaire 33 au niveau de sa fenêtre 333 et le levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81 au niveau de sa rainure 811, le pion 32 traverse également une ouverture 311 du levier d'ouverture 31.The pin 32 passing through the intermediate lever 33 at its window 333 and the clutch release and clutch lever 81 at its groove 811, the pin 32 also passes through an opening 311 of the opening lever 31.

Cette ouverture 311 présente, de façon similaire à la rainure 811, une forme globalement circulaire s'étendant sur un secteur angulaire borné inférieur à 90 degrés. Cette ouverture 311 s'étend autour de l'axe de rotation A31 formant le centre de sa forme circulaire.This opening 311 has, in a manner similar to the groove 811, a generally circular shape extending over a limited angular sector of less than 90 degrees. This opening 311 extends around the axis of rotation A31 forming the center of its circular shape.

Cette ouverture 311 forme un chemin pour le pion le long de ce secteur angulaire autour de l'axe A31 et présente un cran 312 formé par un espace ouvert radialement sur l'ouverture 311, le cran 312 étant situé radialement vers l'extérieur de l'ouverture 311 par rapport à l'axe de rotation A31 et configuré pour enserrer le pion 32 lorsqu'il y est logé.This opening 311 forms a path for the pin along this angular sector around the axis A31 and has a notch 312 formed by a space open radially on the opening 311, the notch 312 being located radially outwardly of the opening 311 relative to the axis of rotation A31 and configured to grip the pin 32 when it is housed there.

Lorsque le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 est inactif, les moyens de commande 12 sont opérationnels, c'est à dire que l'actionnement de la deuxième interface utilisateur I2 entraine l'activation du mécanisme secondaire 72, en particulier :

  • le câble de transmission 30 entraine en rotation le levier d'ouverture 31 autour de l'axe A31,
  • le pion, enserré dans le cran 312 du levier d'ouverture 31 est déplacé et entraine dans son déplacement la rotation du levier intermédiaire 33, le pion étant également maintenu dans la fenêtre 333 dudit levier intermédiaire,
  • la rotation du levier intermédiaire 33 entraine la rotation de sa deuxième partie 332 laquelle est configurée pour coopérer par un appui avec le levier central d'ouverture 9 pour l'entrainer en rotation et commander le mécanisme principal 6. Par ailleurs, pour activer le mécanisme d'inhibition 13, l'utilisateur procède comme suit :
  • presse le bouton d'activation et de désactivation 14, déplaçant le câble de transmission 141 et entraînant la rotation du levier de commande d'inhibition 80 autour de son axe A80,
  • la rotation du levier de commande d'inhibition 80 entraine la translation radiale du levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81 auquel il est relié par la bielle 82, cette translation étant guidée par la fenêtre oblongue 810,
  • La translation radiale du levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81 entraine le déplacement radial du pion 32 du cran 312 vers l'ouverture 311,
  • Une fois dans l'ouverture 311, celle-ci présentant une forme d'une portion circulaire, le pion est libéré de sa contrainte de la rotation du levier d'ouverture 31 ce qui positionne le deuxième mécanisme secondaire dans une position débrayée : la rotation dudit levier d'ouverture 31 dans cette position n'entraine donc plus la rotation du levier intermédiaire 33 et n'a alors plus d'effet sur le mécanisme principal 6, donc sur le pêne 11 : le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 en étant activé par l'utilisateur inhibe ce moyen de commande 12 du mécanisme principal 6.
When the inhibition mechanism 13 is inactive, the control means 12 are operational, that is to say that the actuation of the second user interface I2 causes the activation of the secondary mechanism 72, in particular:
  • the transmission cable 30 rotates the opening lever 31 around the axis A31,
  • the pin, clamped in the notch 312 of the opening lever 31 is moved and in its movement causes the rotation of the intermediate lever 33, the pin also being held in the window 333 of said intermediate lever,
  • the rotation of the intermediate lever 33 causes the rotation of its second part 332 which is configured to cooperate by pressing with the central opening lever 9 to drive it in rotation and control the main mechanism 6. Furthermore, to activate the mechanism inhibition 13, the user proceeds as follows:
  • press the activation and deactivation button 14, moving the transmission cable 141 and causing the rotation of the inhibition control lever 80 about its axis A80,
  • the rotation of the inhibition control lever 80 causes the radial translation of the clutch release and clutch lever 81 to which it is connected by the connecting rod 82, this translation being guided by the oblong window 810,
  • The radial translation of the clutch release and clutch lever 81 causes the radial displacement of the pin 32 of the notch 312 towards the opening 311,
  • Once in the opening 311, the latter having the shape of a circular portion, the pin is released from its constraint of the rotation of the opening lever 31 which positions the second secondary mechanism in a disengaged position: the rotation of said opening lever 31 in this position therefore no longer causes the rotation of the intermediate lever 33 and then no longer has any effect on the main mechanism 6, therefore on the bolt 11: the inhibition mechanism 13 being activated by the user inhibits this control means 12 of the main mechanism 6.

Par ailleurs, on notera que le levier de commande d'inhibition 80 comprend une excroissance 801 configurée pour venir en contact et en appui contre une zone prédéfinie d'un levier de transfert 60 et qui, lorsque ledit levier de commande d'inhibition 80 est pivoté, il entraine dans sa course le levier de transfert 60 en translation.Furthermore, it will be noted that the inhibition control lever 80 comprises a protuberance 801 configured to come into contact and bear against a predefined zone of a transfer lever 60 and which, when said inhibition control lever 80 is pivoted, it drives the transfer lever 60 in translation in its course.

Une excroissance d'inhibition 802 permet en outre de verrouiller le levier de transfert 60 une fois translaté. Cette excroissance 802 assure ainsi une fonction de blocage du levier de transfert 60 après sa translation vers la position d'inhibition par le mécanisme d'inhibition 13.An inhibition protuberance 802 also makes it possible to lock the transfer lever 60 once it has been translated. This protuberance 802 thus performs a function of blocking the transfer lever 60 after its translation to the inhibition position by the inhibition mechanism 13.

Les figures 8, 9 et 10, illustrent des vues détaillées du mécanisme secondaire 7 configuré pour être actionné par une poignée extérieure 5 du véhicule 1 et une partie du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 agissant sur ce mécanisme secondaire 7.The figures 8 , 9 and 10 , illustrate detailed views of the secondary mechanism 7 configured to be actuated by an external handle 5 of the vehicle 1 and a part of the inhibition mechanism 13 acting on this secondary mechanism 7.

La poignée extérieure 5 est reliée à un câble de transmission (non illustré) de type câble Bowden permettant de commander le premier mécanisme secondaire 71. Ce câble de transmission est relié à une première extrémité à ladite poignée extérieure 5 et, à une deuxième extrémité, à un levier d'ouverture 21 de la poignée extérieure 5, au niveau d'une interface de fixation 210 du levier d'ouverture.The outer handle 5 is connected to a transmission cable (not shown) of the Bowden cable type making it possible to control the first secondary mechanism 71. This transmission cable is connected at a first end to said outer handle 5 and to a second end, to an opening lever 21 of the outer handle 5, at a fixing interface 210 of the opening lever.

Le levier d'ouverture 21 est mobile en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation A21 coaxial à l'axe de rotation A9 du levier central d'ouverture 9. Le levier d'ouverture 21 présente une forme de crochet dont une extrémité vient déplacer ledit levier central d'ouverture 9 lorsque le mécanisme secondaire 71 est activé par la première interface I1.The opening lever 21 is movable in rotation about an axis of rotation A21 coaxial with the axis of rotation A9 of the central opening lever 9. The opening lever 21 has the shape of a hook, one end of which moves. said central opening lever 9 when the secondary mechanism 71 is activated by the first interface I1.

Ce déplacement, ou entrainement du levier central d'ouverture 9 est indirect c'est à dire qu'une pièce intermédiaire est située entre le levier d'ouverture 21 et le levier central d'ouverture 9, en particulier interposée entre ces deux leviers 9, 21 durant cet entraînement. Cette pièce intermédiaire est un levier d'embrayage et de débrayage 22 mobile en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation A22, parallèle à l'axe de rotation A21, même coaxial aux axes A9 et A21 lorsque le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 est inactif.This movement, or drive of the central opening lever 9 is indirect, that is to say that an intermediate part is located between the opening lever 21 and the central opening lever 9, in particular interposed between these two levers 9. , 21 during this training. This intermediate part is a clutch and disengagement lever 22 movable in rotation about an axis of rotation A22, parallel to the axis of rotation A21, even coaxial with the axes A9 and A21 when the inhibition mechanism 13 is inactive. .

Un arbre de rotation du levier d'embrayage et de débrayage 22 est monté dans une fenêtre 62 oblongue du levier de transfert 60 de sorte que, lorsque le levier de transfert 60 est déplacé par le mécanisme d'inhibition 13, celui-ci entraine dans son déplacement la translation du centre de rotation du levier d'embrayage et de débrayage 22 de sorte qu'il se déplace dans une position (non illustrée) où il est écarté du chemin du levier d'ouverture 21. Dans ce cas, le mécanisme secondaire 71 est en position débrayée, l'actionnement de la première interface entraine en rotation le levier d'ouverture 21 du premier mécanisme secondaire qui n'entraine pas le levier central d'ouverture 9 du mécanisme principal 6. Le mécanisme secondaire 71 n'a alors plus d'effet sur le mécanisme principal 6, donc sur le pêne 11 : le mécanisme d'inhibition 13, en étant activé par l'utilisateur, inhibe ce moyen de commande 12 du mécanisme principal 6. En d'autres termes, lorsque le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 est inactif, les moyens de commande 12 sont opérationnels, c'est à dire que l'actionnement de la première interface utilisateur I1 entraine l'activation du premier mécanisme secondaire 71 associé, en particulier :

  • le câble de transmission entraine en rotation le levier d'ouverture 21 autour de l'axe A21,
  • le levier d'ouverture 21 entraine dans sa rotation, la rotation du levier d'embrayage et de débrayage 22 dont l'axe de rotation A22, à cette étape, est colinéaire aux axes de rotation A9 et A21,
  • le levier d'embrayage et de débrayage 22 entraine en rotation le levier central d'ouverture 9 du mécanisme principal 6 pour commander ledit mécanisme principal 6. Par ailleurs, pour activer le mécanisme d'inhibition 13, l'utilisateur procède comme suit :
  • presse le bouton d'activation et de désactivation 14, déplaçant le câble de transmission 141 et entraînant la rotation du levier de commande d'inhibition 80 autour de son axe A80,
  • lorsque ledit levier de commande d'inhibition 80 est pivoté, celui-ci entraine dans sa course le levier de transfert 60 en translation par l'intermédiaire de l'excroissance 801 qui est en appui contre le levier de transfert 60,
  • le levier de transfert, dans sa translation, emporte la translation du centre de rotation du levier d'embrayage et de débrayage 22 de sorte qu'il se déplace dans une position où il est écarté du chemin du levier d'ouverture 21 inhibant par le même temps ce mécanisme secondaire 71 et donc ce moyen de commande 12 du mécanisme principal 6.
A rotation shaft of the clutch and disengage lever 22 is mounted in an oblong window 62 of the transfer lever 60 so that, when the transfer lever 60 is moved by the inhibition mechanism 13, the latter drives in its displacement the translation of the center of rotation of the clutch and release lever 22 so that it moves into a position (not shown) where it is away from the path of the opening lever 21. In this case, the mechanism secondary 71 is in the disengaged position, actuation of the first interface rotates the opening lever 21 of the first secondary mechanism which does not drive the central opening lever 9 of the main mechanism 6. The secondary mechanism 71 n ' then has more effect on the main mechanism 6, therefore on the bolt 11: the inhibition mechanism 13, being activated by the user, inhibits this control means 12 of the main mechanism 6. In other words, when the inhibition mechanism 13 is ina ctif, the control means 12 are operational, that is to say that the actuation of the first user interface I1 causes the activation of the first associated secondary mechanism 71, in particular:
  • the transmission cable drives the opening lever 21 in rotation around the axis A21,
  • the opening lever 21 causes in its rotation, the rotation of the clutch and disengagement lever 22 whose axis of rotation A22, at this stage, is collinear with the axes of rotation A9 and A21,
  • the clutch and disengagement lever 22 rotates the central opening lever 9 of the main mechanism 6 to control said main mechanism 6. Furthermore, to activate the inhibition mechanism 13, the user proceeds as follows:
  • press the activation and deactivation button 14, moving the transmission cable 141 and causing the rotation of the inhibition control lever 80 about its axis A80,
  • when said inhibition control lever 80 is pivoted, the latter causes the transfer lever 60 in its travel in translation via the protuberance 801 which bears against the transfer lever 60,
  • the transfer lever, in its translation, carries the translation of the center of rotation of the clutch and release lever 22 so that it moves into a position where it is moved away from the path of the opening lever 21 inhibiting by the at the same time this secondary mechanism 71 and therefore this control means 12 of the main mechanism 6.

Les figures 11, 12 et 13, illustrent des vues détaillées des mécanismes secondaires configurés pour être actionnés par une clé, soit mécaniquement soit électriquement par un signal électrique, et une partie du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 agissant indirectement sur ces mécanismes secondaires, selon ce mode de réalisation.The figures 11 , 12 and 13 , illustrate detailed views of the secondary mechanisms configured to be actuated by a key, either mechanically or electrically by an electrical signal, and part of the inhibition mechanism 13 acting indirectly on these secondary mechanisms, according to this embodiment.

La clé est configurée pour actionner les mécanismes secondaires 73, 74 de la serrure 10.The key is configured to operate the secondary mechanisms 73, 74 of the lock 10.

Le troisième mécanisme secondaire 74 comporte un entraîneur 40 commandé électriquement et comprenant une roue dentée 41 entraînante et une roue entraînée 42 coaxiales, la roue dentée entraînante 41 étant apte à entraîner en rotation la roue entraînée 42 au moyen d'un organe d'entrainement formé par leur arbre de rotation commun.The third secondary mechanism 74 comprises a driver 40 electrically controlled and comprising a driving toothed wheel 41 and a driven wheel 42 coaxial, the driving toothed wheel 41 being able to drive the driven wheel 42 in rotation by means of a drive member formed. by their common rotation shaft.

L'entraineur 40 est entraîné en rotation par un ensemble moteur 43 et vis sans fin 44 connus en soi. Le moteur 43 est capable de faire tourner la vis sans fin dans les deux sens de rotation possibles. La rotation de la vis sans fin 44 est de nature à faire tourner la roue dentée entraînante 41. Laquelle roue 41 est apte à faire tourner la roue entraînée 42 qui engraine la crémaillère 61 du levier de transfert 60 et qui, en tournant, est apte à déplacer en translation ledit levier de transfert 60. Ce levier de transfert 60 est quant à lui apte à agir sur le premier mécanisme secondaire 71 pour déplacer le levier central d'ouverture 9.The driver 40 is rotated by a motor 43 and worm 44 assembly known per se. The motor 43 is capable of rotating the worm in both possible directions of rotation. The rotation of the worm 44 is such as to make the driving toothed wheel 41 turn. Which wheel 41 is able to turn the driven wheel 42 which engages the rack 61 of the transfer lever 60 and which, by turning, is suitable in translating said transfer lever 60. This transfer lever 60 is itself able to act on the first secondary mechanism 71 to move the central opening lever 9.

Le moteur est commandé électriquement par la clé de l'utilisateur. La clé vient également coopérer mécaniquement avec la quatrième interface I3 formée par le barillet configuré pour recevoir la tige de la clé, la serrure comporte un mécanisme secondaire 73 auquel elle est reliée.The motor is electrically controlled by the user's key. The key also comes to cooperate mechanically with the fourth interface I3 formed by the barrel configured to receive the shank of the key, the lock comprises a secondary mechanism 73 to which it is connected.

Le barillet est solidaire d'une roue d'entrainement 51 apte à entraîner en rotation la roue entraînée 52 en l'engrenant, cette dernière étant configurée pour déplacer le levier de transfert 60 au moyen d'un organe d'entrainement 53 solidaire de la roue entrainée 52 et en prise avec le levier de transfert 60.The barrel is integral with a drive wheel 51 capable of rotating the driven wheel 52 by meshing it, the latter being configured to move the wheel. transfer lever 60 by means of a drive member 53 integral with the driven wheel 52 and in engagement with the transfer lever 60.

Comme évoqué ci-avant, le levier de transfert 60 est apte à agir sur le premier mécanisme secondaire 71 pour déplacer le levier central d'ouverture 9.As mentioned above, the transfer lever 60 is able to act on the first secondary mechanism 71 to move the central opening lever 9.

Comme cela a été décrit précédemment, le levier de commande d'inhibition 80 comprend une excroissance 801 entrainant dans sa course le levier de transfert 60 en translation lorsque le moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14 est commandé, et entraine en rotation le levier de commande d'inhibition 80 et une excroissance 802 pour bloquer ledit levier de transfert 60 après sa translation vers la position d'inhibition par le mécanisme d'inhibition 13.As has been described previously, the inhibition control lever 80 comprises a protuberance 801 driving the transfer lever 60 in its travel in translation when the activation and deactivation means 14 is controlled, and drives the control lever in rotation. inhibition control 80 and a protuberance 802 to block said transfer lever 60 after its translation to the inhibition position by the inhibition mechanism 13.

Le blocage de ce levier de transfert 60 assure ici l'inhibition de ces troisième et quatrième mécanismes secondaires et donc des moyens de commande 12 du mécanisme principal 6 au niveau de ces interfaces I3 et I4. En effet, en position verrouillée du mécanisme d'inhibition 13, le levier de transfert 60 étant bloqué en translation, la rotation de l'arbre du moteur 43 et la rotation du barillet n'ont aucun effet sur ledit levier de transfert 60.The blocking of this transfer lever 60 here ensures the inhibition of these third and fourth secondary mechanisms and therefore of the control means 12 of the main mechanism 6 at these interfaces I3 and I4. In fact, in the locked position of the inhibition mechanism 13, the transfer lever 60 being blocked in translation, the rotation of the motor shaft 43 and the rotation of the barrel have no effect on said transfer lever 60.

Les figures 14, 15 et 16 illustrent des vues détaillées de deux moyens d'activation et de désactivation 14 formant chacun une commande distincte du mécanisme d'inhibition 13, selon ce mode de réalisation.The figures 14 , 15 and 16 illustrate detailed views of two activation and deactivation means 14 each forming a separate control of the inhibition mechanism 13, according to this embodiment.

Comme cela a été décrit ci-contre, le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 comporte un moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14 de type bouton poussoir (non illustré), situé sur la surface extérieure 15 de la serrure 10. Ce bouton 14 est relié à un câble de transmission 141 de type câble Bowden permettant de commander le mécanisme d'inhibition 13. Ce câble de transmission 141 est relié à une première extrémité au moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14 et, à une deuxième extrémité, à un levier de commande d'inhibition 80 mobile en rotation autour d'un axe de rotation A80.As has been described below, the inhibition mechanism 13 comprises a push-button type activation and deactivation means 14 (not shown), located on the outer surface 15 of the lock 10. This button 14 is connected. to a transmission cable 141 of the Bowden cable type making it possible to control the inhibition mechanism 13. This transmission cable 141 is connected at a first end to the activation and deactivation means 14 and, at a second end, to a lever Inhibition control 80 movable in rotation about an axis of rotation A80.

Un deuxième moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14' se situe au niveau du levier de commande d'inhibition 80.A second activation and deactivation means 14 'is located at the level of the inhibition control lever 80.

En effet, il s'agit d'un pion rotatif 142, situé sur la surface extérieure 15 de la serrure 10, comprenant une tête 143 présentant une empreinte 144 apte à recevoir la tige de la clé de sorte que, lorsque la tige est logée dans cette empreinte 144, la rotation de la clé, et donc de la tige, entraine la rotation du pion rotatif 142.Indeed, it is a rotary pin 142, located on the outer surface 15 of the lock 10, comprising a head 143 having a recess 144 capable of receiving the shank of the key so that, when the shank is housed in this cavity 144, the rotation of the key, and therefore of the rod, causes the rotation of the rotary pin 142.

Le pion rotatif 142 comprend en outre un organe de transmission 145 en prise dans un logement 146 du levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81 du mécanisme secondaire 72 de sorte que la rotation du pion rotatif 142 entraine la rotation du levier de débrayage et d'embrayage 81, ceci sans avoir à agir sur la poignée intérieure de l'ouvrant.The rotary pin 142 further comprises a transmission member 145 engaged in a housing 146 of the disengagement and clutch lever 81 of the secondary mechanism 72 so that the rotation of the rotary pin 142 causes the rotation of the disengaging and clutch lever. clutch 81, this without having to act on the inner handle of the leaf.

Il est à noter que le deuxième moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14' peut être un pion activé directement par la main de l'utilisateur.It should be noted that the second activation and deactivation means 14 ′ can be a pin activated directly by the hand of the user.

La présence de deux mécanismes d'activation et de désactivation 14 et 14' assure une sécurité supplémentaire en cas de défaillance de l'un d'eux.The presence of two activation and deactivation mechanisms 14 and 14 'provides additional security in the event of failure of one of them.

Par ailleurs, le ou les moyens d'activation et de désactivation 14, 14' du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 sont situés dans l'espace intérieur du véhicule, tel que dans l'habitacle du véhicule.Furthermore, the activation and deactivation means 14, 14 'of the inhibition mechanism 13 are located in the interior space of the vehicle, such as in the passenger compartment of the vehicle.

En effet, dans le cas des poids lourds, l'utilisateur qui veut se protéger de toute agression ou toute tentative d'intrusion du véhicule peut être dans sa cabine en toute sécurité et commander, de façon centralisée avec l'un des moyens d'activation et de désactivation 14, 14', l'inhibition de toutes les interfaces d'accès au véhicule.Indeed, in the case of heavy goods vehicles, the user who wants to protect himself from any aggression or any attempt to intrude the vehicle can be in his cabin in complete safety and order, centrally with one of the means of activation and deactivation 14, 14 ', the inhibition of all vehicle access interfaces.

De tels moyens d'activation et de désactivation 14, 14' sont en outre discrets et ne sont pas aussi intrusives que celles connues de l'art antérieur.Such activation and deactivation means 14, 14 'are also discreet and are not as intrusive as those known from the prior art.

Ces moyens d'activation et de désactivation 14, 14' sont ici mécaniques (bouton relié à une tringlerie ou pion rotatif).These activation and deactivation means 14, 14 'are here mechanical (button connected to a linkage or rotary pin).

Quel que soit le mode de réalisation retenu, on notera que les moyens d'activation et les moyens de désactivation peuvent être distincts. Ils peuvent être également électriques.Whatever the embodiment chosen, it will be noted that the activation means and the deactivation means can be distinct. They can also be electric.

Dans ce cas, et pour accroitre encore la sécurité de l'utilisateur, seul les moyens d'activation peuvent être électriques, les moyens de désactivation étant de préférence mécaniques garantissant encore l'inviolabilité de l'accès au véhicule 1.In this case, and to further increase the safety of the user, only the activation means can be electrical, the deactivation means preferably being mechanical still guaranteeing the inviolability of access to the vehicle 1.

Les figures 17 et 18 illustrent des vues détaillées de la serrure permettant de comprendre comment, mécaniquement, l'activation du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 est interdite lorsque l'ouvrant du véhicule 1 est ouvert.The figures 17 and 18 illustrate detailed views of the lock making it possible to understand how, mechanically, the activation of the inhibition mechanism 13 is prohibited when the opening of the vehicle 1 is open.

Cette fonction permet d'éviter à l'utilisateur d'être piégé à l'extérieur de son véhicule. En effet, le pêne pivotant 11 est destiné à coopérer avec une gâche (non représentée). Le pêne 11 est ainsi apte à pivoter autour de son axe A11 entre une position angulaire d'emprisonnement d'une gâche et une position de libération de gâche.This function helps prevent the user from being trapped outside his vehicle. Indeed, the pivoting bolt 11 is intended to cooperate with a keeper (not shown). The bolt 11 is thus able to pivot about its axis A11 between an angular position of imprisonment of a keeper and a position of release of the keeper.

Le pêne 11 comprend une patte de blocage 111 configurée pour venir sur le chemin du levier de transfert 60, au niveau d'une zone de blocage 63 dudit levier de transfert 60, ceci quand le pêne 11 est en position de libération de gâche, à savoir lorsque l'ouvrant est ouvert ou apte à être ouvert, bloquant ainsi toute translation du levier de transfert 60.The bolt 11 comprises a locking tab 111 configured to come on the path of the transfer lever 60, at a locking zone 63 of said transfer lever 60, this when the bolt 11 is in the striker release position, to know when the sash is open or able to be opened, thus blocking any translation of the transfer lever 60.

Le levier de transfert 60 étant bloqué dans cette position du pêne 11, les leviers de commande d'inhibition 80 et de débrayage et d'embrayage 81 actionnés par les moyens d'activation et de désactivation 14, 14' ne sont donc pas opérationnels, interdisant ainsi l'activation du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 lorsque l'ouvrant est ouvert.The transfer lever 60 being locked in this position of the bolt 11, the inhibition control levers 80 and the disengagement and clutch 81 actuated by the means activation and deactivation 14, 14 'are therefore not operational, thus preventing the activation of the inhibition mechanism 13 when the opening is open.

De cette manière, la serrure 10 est ainsi configurée pour être verrouillée par le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 seulement si l'ouvrant du véhicule est dans une position fermée.In this way, the lock 10 is thus configured to be locked by the inhibition mechanism 13 only if the opening of the vehicle is in a closed position.

On notera que tout mécanisme de blocage du levier de transfert 60 ou plus généralement tout mécanisme de blocage du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 en fonction de la position de l'ouvrant peut assurer une fonction équivalente.It will be noted that any mechanism for blocking the transfer lever 60 or more generally any mechanism for blocking the inhibition mechanism 13 as a function of the position of the leaf can perform an equivalent function.

Grâce à un tel mécanisme de serrure 10 et grâce à un tel moyen d'inhibition, il est donc possible de réaliser le verrouillage de ladite serrure 10 de façon centralisée au niveau d'une commande 14, 14'.Thanks to such a lock mechanism 10 and thanks to such inhibiting means, it is therefore possible to lock said lock 10 centrally at the level of a control 14, 14 '.

L'invention permet donc, en activant le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 de faire de manière concomitante une condamnation (empêcher l'ouverture par l'extérieur) de la ou des serrure(s) du véhicule.The invention therefore makes it possible, by activating the inhibition mechanism 13, to simultaneously lock (prevent opening from the outside) of the lock (s) of the vehicle.

Ainsi, tous les mécanismes secondaires 7 reliés à chacune des interfaces I1, I2, I3 et I4 (voir la figure 19 par exemple) sont ainsi inhibés et ne sont plus opérationnels lorsque le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 est activé par l'utilisateur se situant dans la cabine de son véhicule 1.Thus, all the secondary mechanisms 7 connected to each of the interfaces I1, I2, I3 and I4 (see figure 19 for example) are thus inhibited and are no longer operational when the inhibition mechanism 13 is activated by the user in the cabin of his vehicle 1.

On notera que le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 peut être assisté électroniquement. Par exemple, la serrure peut comporter des capteurs 600 (voir les figures 19 et 20 par exemple) permettant de s'assurer de la bonne position des pièces, notamment du pêne 11 ou du levier de transfert 60 par exemple.It will be noted that the inhibition mechanism 13 can be assisted electronically. For example, the lock may have 600 sensors (see figures 19 and 20 for example) making it possible to ensure the correct position of the parts, in particular of the bolt 11 or of the transfer lever 60 for example.

Les figures 21, 22, 23, 24 et 25 illustrent des vues détaillées d'une partie du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 au niveau de son actionnement par le moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14, situé sur la surface extérieure 15 de la serrure 10, permettant d'illustrer une fonction mécanique de mémorisation du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 et une séquence de fonctionnement (voir les figures 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D, 22E, 22F, 22G, 22H et 22I), selon un mode de réalisation.The figures 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 and 25 illustrate detailed views of a part of the inhibition mechanism 13 at the level of its actuation by the activation and deactivation means 14, located on the outer surface 15 of the lock 10, making it possible to illustrate a mechanical memorization function of the inhibition mechanism 13 and an operating sequence (see figures 22A, 22B , 22C, 22D, 22E, 22F, 22G, 22H and 22I ), according to one embodiment.

De manière similaire à ce qui a été décrit précédemment, le moyen d'activation et de désactivation 14 entraîne la rotation du levier de commande d'inhibition 80 autour de son axe A80, le levier entraînant dans le même temps durant sa rotation l'excroissance 801, laquelle déplace le levier de transfert 60 en translation selon un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'effort exercé par le câble 141 sur le levier de commande d'inhibition 80.In a similar manner to what has been described previously, the activation and deactivation means 14 drives the rotation of the inhibition control lever 80 about its axis A80, the lever driving at the same time during its rotation the protuberance 801, which moves the transfer lever 60 in translation along an axis substantially perpendicular to the force exerted by the cable 141 on the inhibition control lever 80.

Radialement entre l'axe A80 autour duquel pivote le levier de commande d'inhibition 80 et la liaison entre le câble de transmission 141, est situé une fenêtre 803 sensiblement oblongue à l'intérieure de laquelle vient coopérer un pion de manœuvre 92 d'un levier de blocage 90.Radially between the axis A80 around which the inhibition control lever 80 pivots and the connection between the transmission cable 141, is located a window 803 substantially oblong inside which a maneuvering pin 92 of a locking lever 90 cooperates.

Ce levier de blocage est configuré pour translater selon un axe orthogonal à l'axe de translation du levier de transfert 60.This locking lever is configured to translate along an axis orthogonal to the translation axis of the transfer lever 60.

Un ressort en torsion 91 est interposé entre le levier de blocage et le levier de commande d'inhibition 80 et permet d'exercer une contrainte sur le levier de blocage 90 tendant à le pousser vers le levier de transfert 60.A torsion spring 91 is interposed between the locking lever and the inhibition control lever 80 and makes it possible to exert a stress on the locking lever 90 tending to push it towards the transfer lever 60.

Au fur et à mesure que le levier de commande d'inhibition 80 est pivoté durant l'actionnement du mécanisme d'inhibition 13, le levier de blocage 90 est translaté vers le levier de transfert 60 (voir les figures 21, 22A, 22B et 22C) jusqu'à venir en contact et en butée contre une surface de glissement 64 dudit levier de transfert 60, ceci en étant contraint par le ressort 91 (voir les figures 22D, 22E et 22F).As the inhibition control lever 80 is rotated during actuation of the inhibition mechanism 13, the locking lever 90 is translated to the transfer lever 60 (see figures 21, 22A, 22B and 22C ) until it comes into contact and abuts against a sliding surface 64 of said transfer lever 60, this being constrained by the spring 91 (see figures 22D, 22E and 22F ).

Cette surface de glissement 64 est située sur une marche ou un décrochement 65 de sorte que, toujours durant la rotation du levier de commande d'inhibition 80, l'excroissance 801 déplace le levier de transfert 60 en translation jusqu'à ce que le levier de blocage 90, alors en contact et en butée contre cette surface de glissement 64, atteigne la limite de ce décrochement 65 (voir la figure 22G) et, une fois cette limite atteinte, il continue sa translation dans un creux 66 délimité par ce décrochement 65 pour s'y loger (voir les figures 22H et 22I). En s'y logeant, le levier de blocage 90 assure un blocage du levier de transfert 60, en l'interdisant de revenir à sa position initiale après sa translation entrainée par l'activation du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 par l'actionnement mécanique et manuel de l'utilisateur sur le bouton 14.This sliding surface 64 is located on a step or a step 65 so that, still during the rotation of the inhibition control lever 80, the protuberance 801 moves the transfer lever 60 in translation until the lever blocking 90, then in contact and in abutment against this sliding surface 64, reaches the limit of this recess 65 (see figure 22G ) and, once this limit has been reached, it continues its translation in a hollow 66 delimited by this recess 65 to lodge there (see figures 22H and 22I ). By being housed therein, the blocking lever 90 ensures a blocking of the transfer lever 60, preventing it from returning to its initial position after its translation caused by the activation of the inhibition mechanism 13 by the mechanical actuation and user manual button 14.

En cas de tentative de décondamnation mécanique au niveau du barillet de la clé ou par impulsion électrique dans le moteur, le levier de blocage est alors contraint entre une structure fixe S et le décrochement 65 du levier de transfert 60 (voir la figure 25). Le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 est en outre configuré de sorte que la rotation inverse du levier de commande d'inhibition 80 vers une désactivation, n'entraine pas dans sa course la translation inverse du levier de transfert 60.In the event of a mechanical unlocking attempt at the level of the key cylinder or by an electrical impulse in the motor, the locking lever is then forced between a fixed structure S and the recess 65 of the transfer lever 60 (see figure 25 ). The inhibition mechanism 13 is further configured so that the reverse rotation of the inhibition control lever 80 towards a deactivation, does not cause in its course the reverse translation of the transfer lever 60.

En effet, la fenêtre 803 du levier de commande d'inhibition 80 présente une dimension plus importante que le pion de manœuvre 92 du levier de blocage 90. Ainsi, ce pion de manœuvre 92 prend appui contre un bord d'entrainement de cette fenêtre 803 pour entraîner en translation le levier de blocage 90 mais il existe alors un jeu J (voir la figure 21) entre ledit pion de manœuvre 92 et un bord opposé de ladite fenêtre 803 au bord d'entrainement de sorte que lors du retour en position du levier de commande d'inhibition 80, le pion ne prend pas appui dès le début de sa translation contre ce bord opposé et n'entraîne pas la translation inverse du levier de blocage 90 durant une course initiale. Un tel jeu permet, en position de blocage du levier de blocage 90, par un actionnement direct durant une tentative d'effraction par exemple, de ne pas entraîner la rotation inverse du levier de commande d'inhibition 80.Indeed, the window 803 of the inhibition control lever 80 has a larger dimension than the maneuvering pin 92 of the locking lever 90. Thus, this maneuvering pin 92 bears against a driving edge of this window 803. to drive the locking lever 90 in translation, but there is then a clearance J (see figure 21 ) between said maneuvering pin 92 and an edge opposite of said window 803 to the driving edge so that when the inhibition control lever 80 returns to position, the pin does not take support from the start of its translation against this opposite edge and does not cause the reverse translation of the locking lever 90 during a initial race. Such play makes it possible, in the blocked position of the blocking lever 90, by direct actuation during an attempted break-in, for example, not to cause the reverse rotation of the inhibition control lever 80.

Par ailleurs, le ressort 91 en torsion maintient le levier de blocage 90 en blocage contre le levier de transfert 60.Furthermore, the torsion spring 91 keeps the locking lever 90 in locking against the transfer lever 60.

Une fois la rotation inverse du levier de commande d'inhibition 80 vers une position d'inactivation, et que le jeu de la fenêtre 803 a été parcouru, le pion de manœuvre 92 est ensuite entrainé par la fenêtre 803 et ramène le levier de blocage 90 en position inactive. Toutefois, la rotation inverse du levier de commande d'inhibition 80 entraine l'excroissance 801 dans sa rotation qui dans ce sens de rotation, n'a pas d'effet sur la translation du levier de transfert 60. De cette manière, la désactivation du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 laisse la serrure condamnée puisque le levier de transfert reste dans sa position translatée, l'ouverture restant débrayée.Once the reverse rotation of the inhibition control lever 80 towards an inactivation position, and the play of the window 803 has been taken, the operating pin 92 is then driven by the window 803 and returns the locking lever 90 in inactive position. However, the reverse rotation of the inhibition control lever 80 causes the protuberance 801 in its rotation which in this direction of rotation has no effect on the translation of the transfer lever 60. In this way, the deactivation of the inhibition mechanism 13 leaves the lock condemned since the transfer lever remains in its translated position, the opening remaining disengaged.

La figure 26 illustre un diagramme du fonctionnement d'une serrure et des moyens d'activation et de désactivation associés permettant de comprendre notamment l'activation, les interdictions et le déblocage ou désactivation de la fonction du mécanisme d'inhibition centralisé.The figure 26 illustrates a diagram of the operation of a lock and the associated activation and deactivation means making it possible to understand in particular the activation, the prohibitions and the unlocking or deactivation of the function of the centralized inhibition mechanism.

Les états E1, E2, E3, E4 et E5 désignent des états de la serrure à un instant donné du fonctionnement tandis que les références A1 à A17 correspondent à des actions de la part de l'utilisateur sur la serrure.The states E1, E2, E3, E4 and E5 designate states of the lock at a given time of operation, while the references A1 to A17 correspond to actions on the part of the user on the lock.

Considérons qu'un utilisateur agisse sur la serrure 10 du véhicule dans un état initial E1 correspondant à un état dans lequel la serrure est déverrouillée, ouverte c'est à dire que le pêne de la serrure n'est pas retenu par le cliquet, et l'ouverture intérieure déverrouillée (par exemple une sécurité enfant déverrouillée). Dans ce cas, l'activation A1 du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 des moyens de commande 12, comme le verrouillage A2 de la serrure 10 ne sont pas possibles compte tenu de l'état ouvert de la serrure, il faut alors fermer la serrure par une action A3 pour changer son état à l'état E2.Let us consider that a user acts on the lock 10 of the vehicle in an initial state E1 corresponding to a state in which the lock is unlocked, open, that is to say that the bolt of the lock is not retained by the pawl, and the unlocked interior opening (for example an unlocked child safety device). In this case, the activation A1 of the inhibition mechanism 13 of the control means 12, as the locking A2 of the lock 10 is not possible given the open state of the lock, it is then necessary to close the lock by an action A3 to change its state to state E2.

Cet état E2 correspond à un état dans lequel la serrure est déverrouillée, fermée, c'est à dire que le pêne de la serrure est retenu par le cliquet, et l'ouverture intérieure déverrouillée. On comprend donc que les actions d'ouverture extérieure A4 comme intérieure A5 ramènent la serrure à l'état E1 tandis que son verrouillage A6 entraîne la serrure 10 dans un nouvel état E3 dans lequel la serrure est verrouillée, fermée, l'ouverture intérieure déverrouillée, un utilisateur dans le véhicule pouvant sortir. L'activation des moyens de commande 12 du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 peut être effectuée lorsque la serrure est à l'état E2 ou à l'état E3. Ces activations A7 et A8 entraînent la serrure dans un nouvel état successif E4 dans lequel la serrure est verrouillée, fermée, l'ouverture intérieure verrouillée. Dans cet état, tous les moyens de commande 12 du mécanisme principal sont alors inhibés et aucune action sur l'un des moyens de commande 12 n'a d'effet sur la serrure 10. En d'autres termes, l'actionnement A9 de la poignée extérieure, celui de la poignée intérieure A10, le déverrouillage électrique A11 ou le déverrouillage mécanique A12 avec la clé ne peuvent changer l'état de la serrure 10.This state E2 corresponds to a state in which the lock is unlocked, closed, ie the bolt of the lock is retained by the pawl, and the interior opening is unlocked. It is therefore understood that the actions of exterior opening A4 as interior A5 return the lock to state E1 while its locking A6 drives the lock 10 into a new state E3 in which the lock is locked, closed, the interior opening unlocked. , a user in the vehicle being able to exit. The activation of the control means 12 of the inhibition mechanism 13 can be carried out when the lock is in state E2 or in state E3. These activations A7 and A8 cause the lock to enter a new successive state E4 in which the lock is locked, closed, the interior opening locked. In this state, all the control means 12 of the main mechanism are then inhibited and no action on one of the control means 12 has any effect on the lock 10. In other words, the actuation A9 of the outside handle, that of the inside handle A10, the electrical release A11 or the mechanical release A12 with the key cannot change the state of the lock 10.

La seule action A13, de préférence mécanique sur la serrure à l'état E4 consistant à désactiver le mécanisme d'inhibition 13 des moyens de commande 12, par exemple par un bouton situé dans l'espace intérieur de la cabine du véhicule, permettent de modifier l'état de la serrure 10 vers un état E5 similaire à l'état E3 dans lequel la serrure 10 est verrouillée, fermée, l'ouverture intérieure déverrouillée, un utilisateur dans le véhicule pouvant sortir.The only action A13, preferably mechanical on the lock in state E4, consisting in deactivating the inhibition mechanism 13 of the control means 12, for example by a button located in the interior space of the vehicle cabin, make it possible to modifying the state of the lock 10 to a state E5 similar to the state E3 in which the lock 10 is locked, closed, the interior opening unlocked, a user in the vehicle being able to exit.

Une fois dans cet état E5, un déverrouillage électrique A14 ou mécanique A15 avec la clé ramène la serrure 10 directement à l'état E2 tandis qu'une ouverture par l'intérieur A17, alors déverrouillée, entraîne la serrure à son état initial E1.Once in this state E5, an electrical unlocking A14 or mechanical unlocking A15 with the key returns the lock 10 directly to the state E2 while an opening from the inside A17, then unlocked, drives the lock to its initial state E1.

Dans ce même état E5, on notera que la serrure étant dans un état verrouillé de l'extérieur, une action A16 tendant à ouvrir la serrure de l'extérieur du véhicule n'aura aucun effet et laissera la serrure dans son état E5.In this same state E5, it will be noted that the lock being in a state locked from the outside, an action A16 tending to open the lock from the outside of the vehicle will have no effect and will leave the lock in its state E5.

En effet, l'invention permet, en faisant une désactivation mécanique du mécanisme d'inhibition 13, de rester condamnée (empêcher l'ouverture par l'extérieur) puisqu'en désactivant la fonction du mécanisme d'inhibition centralisé, l'ouverture extérieure reste débrayée et en tirant sur la poignée, il ne se passe rien.Indeed, the invention allows, by making a mechanical deactivation of the inhibition mechanism 13, to remain locked (prevent opening from the outside) since by deactivating the function of the centralized inhibition mechanism, the external opening remains disengaged and by pulling on the handle, nothing happens.

Grâce à la présente invention, une telle solution permet :

  • de condamner la serrure (empêcher l'ouverture par l'extérieur) via un faisceau électrique par exemple et ensuite d'activer la fonction d'inhibition centralisée du mécanisme d'inhibition 13 pour inhiber tous les moyens de commande 12 ;
  • en activant le mécanisme d'inhibition 13, de faire de manière concomitante une condamnation (empêcher l'ouverture par l'extérieur) ;
  • en faisant une désactivation mécanique du mécanisme d'inhibition 13, de rester condamné : en effet, en désactivant le mécanisme d'inhibition 13, l'ouverture extérieure reste débrayée et en tirant sur la poignée, il ne se passe rien.
Thanks to the present invention, such a solution allows:
  • to block the lock (prevent opening from the outside) via an electrical harness for example and then to activate the centralized inhibition function of the inhibition mechanism 13 to inhibit all the control means 12;
  • by activating the inhibition mechanism 13, to carry out a simultaneous lockout (prevent opening from the outside);
  • by making a mechanical deactivation of the inhibition mechanism 13, to remain locked: in fact, by deactivating the inhibition mechanism 13, the exterior opening remains disengaged and by pulling on the handle, nothing happens.

L'invention est décrite dans ce qui précède à titre d'exemple. Il est entendu que l'homme du métier est à même de réaliser différentes variantes de réalisation de l'invention sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.The invention is described in the foregoing by way of example. It is understood that a person skilled in the art is in a position to produce various variant embodiments of the invention without however departing from the scope of the invention.
