Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne de façon générale un essieu destiné<B>à</B> supporter les roues arrière d'un véhicule automobile. The present invention generally relates to an axle for supporting the rear wheels of a motor vehicle.
Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un essieu arrière pour une structure de véhicule roulant, comprenant une traverse déformable et, relativement<B>à</B> un même côté de la structure, un bras relié<B>à</B> la traverse, un amortisseur reliant le bras<B>à</B> la structure, et un ressort, le bras présentant une extrémité arrière liée<B>à</B> une roue et une extrémité avant articulée sur la structure. More specifically, the invention relates to a rear axle for a rolling vehicle structure, comprising a deformable cross member and, relatively <B> to </ B> one side of the structure, an arm connected to <B> to </ B> the crossbar, a damper connecting the arm <B> to the structure, and a spring, the arm having a rear end linked to a wheel and a front end hinged to the structure.
Un essieu de ce type est par exemple décrit dans le document de brevet FR <B>-</B> 2<B>753 931.</B> An axle of this type is for example described in the patent document FR <B> - </ B> 2 <B> 753 931. </ B>
La conception d'un essieu de véhicule automobile doit prendre en compte de nombreux paramètres physiques, tels que le passage des efforts appliqués<B>à</B> l'essieu, la forme et le nombre des différentes pièces constitutives, leurs liaisons, etc., ces paramètres ayant en effet une incidence cruciale sur la sécurité, la tenue de route, le poids, et même l'esthétique du véhicule auquel cet essieu est destiné. The design of a motor vehicle axle must take into account numerous physical parameters, such as the passage of the applied forces <B> to </ B> the axle, the shape and the number of the different component parts, their connections, etc., these parameters having a crucial effect on the safety, handling, weight, and even the aesthetics of the vehicle to which this axle is intended.
Ainsi, malgré la diversité des structures qui ont <B>déjà</B> été proposées et essayées pour la réalisation des essieux, la conception de ces derniers continue de faire l'objet de recherches visant<B>à</B> en optimiser les performances fonctionnelles et industrielles. Thus, despite the diversity of structures that have already been proposed and tested for axle construction, the design of these axles continues to be the subject of research aimed at <B> to </ B> optimize functional and industrial performance.
La présente invention, qui se situe précisément dans ce contexte, a pour but de proposer un essieu de structure relativement simple, de poids relativement faible, de fabrication relativement économique, et néanmoins conçu pour satisfaire les exigences fonctionnelles les<B>plus</B> rigoureuses actuellement en vigueur. The present invention, which is precisely in this context, aims to provide a relatively simple structure axle, relatively low weight, relatively economical manufacturing, and nevertheless designed to meet the functional requirements <B> more </ B > rigorous currently in force.
<B>A</B> cette fin, l'essieu de l'invention, par ailleurs conforme<B>à</B> la définition qu'en donne le préambule ci- dessus, est essentiellement caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre un support fixé<B>à</B> l'extrémité arrière du bras et supportant la roue et l'amortisseur, et en ce que le ressort est séparé de cet amortisseur. <B> A </ B> this end, the axle of the invention, moreover complies <B> with </ B> the definition given in the preamble above, is essentially characterized in that it further comprises a bracket secured to the rear end of the arm and supporting the wheel and damper, and that the spring is separated from the damper.
De préférence, le bras présente une conformation tubulaire de section préférablement circulaire, une symétrie par rapport<B>à</B> un plan médian, et un cintrage dans ce plan médian, cette disposition permettant notamment d'utiliser, en tant que bras gauche et droit, des pièces identiques et donc issues d'une même fabrication. Preferably, the arm has a tubular conformation of preferably circular section, a symmetry with respect to a median plane, and a bending in this median plane, this arrangement making it possible in particular to use, as an arm left and right, identical parts and therefore from the same manufacture.
En outre, l'extrémité avant du bras peut être orientée de manière que l'essieu soit autobraqueur. In addition, the front end of the arm can be oriented so that the axle is self-bailing.
La traverse présente avantageusement une extrémité par laquelle elle est raccordée au bras par un gousset, le ressort présentant une partie inférieure par laquelle il peut ainsi reposer sur ce gousset, et une partie supérieure par laquelle il s'appuie sur un élément de la structure, tel qu'un brancard ou un longeron. The crossmember advantageously has an end by which it is connected to the arm by a gusset, the spring having a lower part by which it can thus rest on this gusset, and an upper part by which it bears on an element of the structure, such as a stretcher or spar.
Le support présente de préférence une partie inférieure dans laquelle il reçoit l'extrémité arrière du bras, une partie médiane dans laquelle il reçoit une fusée de roue, et une partie supérieure dans laquelle il reçoit l'amortisseur. The support preferably has a lower part in which it receives the rear end of the arm, a middle part in which it receives a wheel spindle, and an upper part in which it receives the damper.
Ce support peut en outre s'étendre suivant une direction sensiblement verticale et présenter une conformation tubulaire, de section préférablement rectangulaire. This support may further extend in a substantially vertical direction and have a tubular conformation, preferably rectangular section.
L'amortisseur s'étend avantageusement suivant une direction oblique qui passe par une surface d'appui moyenne de la roue, cette disposition, jusqu'à présent réservée aux suspensions avant, permettant de supprimer ou au moins limiter le couple parasite exercé sur la roue, notamment en cas de freinage, ainsi que la torsion du bras qui en résulte, et autorisant donc<B>à</B> utiliser,<B>à</B> performances égales, des pièces plus simples,<B>plus</B> petites, plus légères et donc moins chères. The damper advantageously extends in an oblique direction which passes through an average bearing surface of the wheel, this arrangement, hitherto reserved for front suspensions, making it possible to eliminate or at least limit the parasitic torque exerted on the wheel. , especially when braking, as well as the twisting of the resulting arm, and therefore allowing <B> to </ B> to use, <B> to </ B> equal performance, simpler parts, <B> more </ B> small, lighter and therefore less expensive.
Enfin, l'essieu peut aussi comprendre une barre anti-dévers logée dans la traverse. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront clairement de la description qui en est faite ci-après,<B>à</B> titre indicatif et nullement limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels<B>:</B> <B>-</B> La<B>f</B> igure <B>1</B> est une vue schématique de la partie gauche d'un essieu conforme<B>à</B> l'invention, observé suivant une incidence horizontale depuis l'arrière du véhicule qu'il équipe; <B>-</B> La figure 2 est une vue de dessus et en coupe partielle de l'essieu illustré<B>à</B> la figure<B>1,</B> observé suivant l'incidence indiquée par les flèches II-II de la figure<B>1;</B> et <B>-</B> La figure<B>3</B> est une vue latérale de l'essieu illustré<B>à</B> la figure<B>1,</B> observé suivant l'incidence horizontale indiquée par les flèches III-III de la figure 2. Finally, the axle may also include an anti-roll bar housed in the crossbar. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge clearly from the description which is given below, as indicative and in no way limitative, with reference to the appended drawings, in which <B>: < <B> - <B> f </ B> igure <B> 1 </ B> is a schematic view of the left side of a compliant axle <B> to </ B> the invention, observed according to a horizontal incidence from the rear of the vehicle that it equips; <B> - </ B> FIG. 2 is a view from above and in partial section of the illustrated axle <B> to </ B> the figure <B> 1, </ B> observed according to the indicated incidence by arrows II-II in Figure <B> 1; </ B> and <B> - </ B> Figure <B> 3 </ B> is a side view of the illustrated axle <B> to </ B> Figure <B> 1, </ B> observed according to the horizontal incidence indicated by the arrows III-III of Figure 2.
L'invention concerne de façon générale un essieu arrière pour une structure de véhicule automobile. The invention generally relates to a rear axle for a motor vehicle structure.
Comme le montrent les figures<B>1</B> et 2, dont la seconde est une vue de dessus du demi-essieu arrière gauche, ce dernier comprend essentiellement une traverse déformable <B>1,</B> un bras 2 relié<B>à</B> la traverse<B>1,</B> et des organes de suspension comprenant d'une part un amortisseur<B>30</B> et d'autre part un ressort<B>39.</B> As shown in Figures <B> 1 </ B> and 2, the second of which is a top view of the left rear half-axle, the latter essentially comprises a deformable cross member <B> 1, </ B> an arm 2 connected <B> to </ B> the crossbar <B> 1, </ B> and suspension members comprising on the one hand a damper <B> 30 </ B> and on the other hand a spring <B> 39. </ B>
Selon un aspect de l'invention, le ressort<B>39</B> est séparé de l'amortisseur au lieu d'être monté de façon concentrique sur ce dernier, comme c'est généralement le cas. According to one aspect of the invention, the spring <B> 39 </ B> is separated from the damper instead of being concentrically mounted thereon as is generally the case.
L'homme de l'art comprendra que le demi-essieu droit, bien que non représenté, est symétrique du demi- essieu gauche par rapport<B>à</B> un plan vertical passant par l'axe longitudinal du véhicule. Those skilled in the art will understand that the right half-axle, although not shown, is symmetrical with the left half-axle relative to a vertical plane passing through the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
La traverse<B>1,</B> réalisée en tôle épaisse emboutie, relie les bras gauche 2 et droit de l'essieu, et s'étend donc suivant une direction transversale YYI par rapport<B>à</B> la direction générale de progression du véhicule. L'extrémité avant 20 du bras 2 (figure 2) est articulée sur la structure<B>99</B> du véhicule, par exemple au moyen d'une chape<B>98</B> fixée<B>à</B> la structure<B>99</B> et portant un axe<B>97</B> traversant un orifice 201 du bras 2, un bloc de matériau élastomère étant interposé entre l'orifice 201 et l'axe<B>97</B> pour amortir les vibrations, notamment longitudinales, et favoriser l'effet autobraqueur. The crossbar <B> 1, </ B> made of pressed thick sheet metal, connects the left arm 2 and right of the axle, and therefore extends in a transverse direction YYI relative to <B> to </ B> the general direction of vehicle progression. The front end 20 of the arm 2 (Figure 2) is hinged to the structure <B> 99 </ B> of the vehicle, for example by means of a yoke <B> 98 </ B> fixed <B> to < / B> the structure <B> 99 </ B> and carrying an axis <B> 97 </ B> passing through an orifice 201 of the arm 2, a block of elastomeric material being interposed between the orifice 201 and the axis < B> 97 </ B> to dampen vibrations, particularly longitudinal vibrations, and to favor the self-beating effect.
L'extrémité arrière 21 du bras 2 est<B>f</B> ixée <B>à</B> un support<B>5</B> (figure<B>1)</B> qui supporte d'une part une roue 4, en l'occurrence la roue arrière gauche, et d'autre part l'amortisseur<B>30.</B> The rear end 21 of the arm 2 is <B> f </ B> ixed <B> to </ B> a support <B> 5 </ B> (figure <B> 1) </ B> which supports firstly a wheel 4, in this case the left rear wheel, and secondly the damper <B> 30. </ B>
Plus précisément, le support<B>5</B> présente une partie inférieure<B>51,</B> une partie médiane<B>52,</B> et une partie supérieure<B>53.</B> Specifically, support <B> 5 </ B> has a lower part <B> 51, </ B> a middle part <B> 52, </ B>, and an upper part <B> 53. </ B >
La partie inférieure<B>51</B> du support<B>5</B> reçoit l'extrémité arrière 21 du bras 2. The bottom portion <B> 51 </ B> of the support <B> 5 </ B> receives the rear end 21 of the arm 2.
La partie médiane du support<B>5</B> reçoit une fusée de roue 41, par l'intermédiaire d'un porte-moyeu 40 soudé sur cette partie médiane et dans lequel vient se loger la fusée 41. The median part of the support <B> 5 </ B> receives a wheel spindle 41, via a hub carrier 40 welded on this median part and in which the rocket 41 is housed.
Enfin, la partie supérieure<B>53</B> du support<B>5</B> présente une chape<B>6</B> sur laquelle s'articule l'extrémité inférieure<B>31</B> de l'amortisseur<B>30.</B> Finally, the upper part <B> 53 </ B> of the support <B> 5 </ B> has a clevis <B> 6 </ B> on which articulates the lower end <B> 31 </ B > the damper <B> 30. </ B>
L'extrémité supérieure<B>32</B> de l'amortisseur<B>30</B> est articulée sur la structure<B>99</B> du véhicule par l'intermédiaire de blocs de matériau élastomère entre lesquels la structure est pincée, l'extrémité 21 du bras 2 étant ainsi reliée<B>à</B> la structure<B>99</B> par l'intermédiaire du support<B>5</B> et de l'amortisseur<B>30.</B> The upper end <B> 32 </ B> of the shock absorber <B> 30 </ B> is hinged to the structure <B> 99 </ B> of the vehicle through blocks of elastomeric material between which the structure is pinched, the end 21 of the arm 2 is thus connected <B> to </ B> the structure <B> 99 </ B> through the support <B> 5 </ B> and the damper <B> 30. </ B>
Le support<B>5</B> s'étend suivant une direction sensiblement verticale ZZI et présente une conformation tubulaire, de section préférablement rectangulaire (figure 2). The support <B> 5 </ B> extends in a substantially vertical direction ZZI and has a tubular conformation, of preferably rectangular section (Figure 2).
Le bras 2, qui présente également une forme tubulaire, est de préférence réalisé, quant<B>à</B> lui,<B>à</B> partir d'un tube d'acier de section circulaire (figure <B>1).</B> Le bras 2 est symétrique par rapport<B>à</B> un plan médian P (figure<B>3)</B> disposé de façon horizontale ou sensiblement horizontale, et présente, au voisinage de son extrémité avant 20, et en tout cas<B>à</B> distance de son extrémité arrière 21, un cintrage<B>CH</B> dans son plan médian, c'est-à-dire dans le plan horizontal (celui de la figure 2). The arm 2, which also has a tubular shape, is preferably made, when <B> to </ B> him, <B> to </ B> from a steel tube of circular section (Figure <B > 1). </ B> The arm 2 is symmetrical about <B> to </ B> a median plane P (Figure <B> 3) </ B> arranged horizontally or substantially horizontally, and presents, at near its front end 20, and in any case <B> at </ B> distance from its rear end 21, a bending <B> CH </ B> in its median plane, that is to say in the horizontal plane (that of Figure 2).
Comme le montre toujours la figure 2, l'axe<B>97</B> par lequel l'extrémité avant 20 du bras 2 est articulée sur la structure<B>99</B> se trouve ainsi orienté suivant une direction JJI qui est inclinée d'un angle<B>A</B> non nul par rapport<B>à</B> la direction transversale YYI, cet agencement conférant<B>à</B> l'essieu la propriété d'être autodirecteur ou autobraqueur. As always shown in Figure 2, the axis <B> 97 </ B> by which the front end 20 of the arm 2 is articulated on the structure <B> 99 </ B> is thus oriented in a direction JJI which is inclined at an angle <B> A </ B> not zero in relation to <B> to </ B> the transverse direction YYI, this arrangement conferring <B> to </ B> the axle the property of to be self-directed or self-bailing.
Par ailleurs, l'amortisseur<B>30</B> (figure<B>1)</B> s'étend suivant une direction oblique<B>001</B> qui passe par la zone centrale 49 de la surface d'appui de la roue 4 sur le sol <B>S.</B> In addition, the damper <B> 30 </ B> (Figure <B> 1) </ B> extends in an oblique direction <B> 001 </ B> which passes through the central zone 49 of the surface of support of the wheel 4 on the ground <B> S. </ B>
Autrement dit, la zone centrale 49 de cette surface d'appui, l'articulation formée par la chape<B>6,</B> et l'articulation formée<B>à</B> l'extrémité<B>32</B> de l'amortisseur <B>30</B> sont alignées, cet agencement permettant d'éviter, ou en tout cas de diminuer, l'effet d'un couple parasite sur la roue qui risquerait d'entraîner une torsion du bras 2, notamment en cas de freinage. In other words, the central zone 49 of this bearing surface, the joint formed by the yoke <B> 6, </ B> and the joint formed <B> at </ B> the end <B> 32 </ B> of the damper <B> 30 </ B> are aligned, this arrangement making it possible to avoid, or in any case to reduce, the effect of a spurious torque on the wheel which might cause a torsion of the arm 2, especially when braking.
De chaque côté gauche et droit du véhicule, la traverse<B>1</B> (figure 2) présente une extrémité<B>10,</B> de forme évasée, par laquelle elle est soudée au bras 2, et un gousset<B>8</B> relie cette extrémité<B>10</B> au bras 2 correspondant pour améliorer la tenue de l'essieu dans le plan horizontal. On each left and right side of the vehicle, the crossbar <B> 1 </ B> (Figure 2) has a flared end <B> 10, </ B>, by which it is welded to the arm 2, and a gusset <B> 8 </ B> connects this <B> 10 </ B> end to the corresponding arm 2 to improve the axle holding in the horizontal plane.
Le gousset<B>8</B> présente, sur sa surface supérieure, un relief de centrage<B>81</B> (figure<B>1)</B> sur lequel vient s'adapter la partie inférieure<B>391</B> du ressort<B>39,</B> ce dernier pouvant ainsi s'appuyer, par sa partie supérieure <B>392,</B> sur un élément<B>991</B> de la structure<B>99,</B> tel qu'un brancard ou un longeron.The gusset <B> 8 </ B> has, on its upper surface, a centering relief <B> 81 </ B> (figure <B> 1) </ B> on which fits the lower part < B> 391 </ B> of the spring <B> 39, <B> so that it can be supported, by its upper part <B> 392, </ B> on a <B> 991 </ B> of structure <B> 99, </ B> such as a stretcher or spar.
Enfin, comme le montre également la figure 2, l'essieu peut en outre être rigidifié par une barre anti- dévers <B>7</B> logée dans la traverse<B>1</B> et<B>f</B> ixée au bras 2 par un boulon<B>71.</B> Finally, as also shown in FIG. 2, the axle can also be stiffened by an anti-roll bar <B> 7 </ B> housed in the crossbar <B> 1 </ B> and <B> f < / B> attached to the arm 2 by a bolt <B> 71. </ B>
