Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hinge device for a motor vehicle opening, in particular a tailgate, which is pivotally mounted on the structure of the vehicle body.
- the invention relates more particularly to an articulation device in which the opening is pivotally mounted, in particular between a first extreme closed position and a second extreme open position by means of a mechanism with two parallel articulation axes connected by at least one articulation rod.
- Such a device is for example described and represented in document FR-A-2,717.21 3.
- a pair of parallel connecting rods a first front end of which is articulated on the structure of the vehicle body around a first articulation axis, the second rear end of which is articulated on the opening leaf around a second articulation axis, parallel to the first articulation axis, and means for controlling the movement are provided pivoting of the opening, relative to the second end of the connecting rod, to the pivoting movement of the first end of the connecting rod relative to the structure of the vehicle body.
- the rear tailgate When the rear part of a vehicle is equipped with such a tailgate, as is for example the case in vehicles of the "people carrier" type, the rear tailgate is of large dimensions and mass.
- This second document thus proposes, in order to facilitate the handling of the tailgate, to incorporate into the articulation device means of equilibration of the opening which apply to it a balancing torque which compensates for the resistant torque due to the mass of opening it.
- the user in order to be able to easily open or close the tailgate, must have a relatively large minimum space at the rear of the vehicle in order to allow at least the clearance of the tailgate between its extreme closed position and its extreme open position, movement during which the panel which constitutes the tailgate moves, during the first part of the trajectory from the closed position, substantially parallel to itself and oriented substantially vertically.
- the panel passes through a substantially median intermediate position between its two extreme positions in which it extends at a distance from the rear vertical plane of the vehicle which is substantially equal to the length of the connecting rods, this distance determining a path of the edge.
- the radius is increasing due to the design of the articulation and movement control device which uses a rack whose longitudinal toothed front and rear ends cooperate with pins fixed respectively on the structure of the body of the opening and on the panel structure.
- the object of the invention is to remedy this drawback by proposing an improved articulation device which makes it possible to open the tailgate even in the case where the space available at the rear of the vehicle is very reduced, in particular when a another vehicle is parked near the rear bumper.
- the invention provides a hinge device of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the direction of pivoting of the opening, relative to the second end of the connecting rod, reverses during the movement pivoting of the first end of the connecting rod, relative to the structure of the vehicle body, between two extreme angular positions associated with the extreme closed and open positions of the opening.
- control means comprise a control mechanism comprising in particular a rack which is mounted smoothing neck longitudinally with respect to the body of the connecting rod, of which a first toothed end cooperates permanently with a first pinion linked in rotation to the structure of the vehicle body, and the second end of which is shaped like a fork, the two substantially parallel toothed branches of which extend rearward and are capable of cooperating alternately with one or more other, respectively, of two toothed sectors diametrically opposite of a second pinion linked in rotation to the opening;
- each of the two branches of the fork is mounted to rotate relative to the body of the rack, around an axis of rotation before parallel to the articulation axes of the connecting rod, and is elastically stressed in rotation about its axis in the direction corresponding to the engagement of the branch with the corresponding toothed sector of the second pig no, and each branch comprises means for controlling its angular position to cause its engagement, or disengagement, with the teeth of the second pinion in function of the longitudinal position of the second end of the rack relative to the body of the connecting rod;
- the control means comprise a control finger carried by the branch and that i extends laterally to cooperate with a control ramp of substantially longitudinal orientation, formed opposite on the body of the connecting rod, in the vicinity the second rear end of the latter; -
- Each ramp has two consecutive sections, external disengagement and internal engagement separated by an inversion slot allowing the passage of the control finger from one to the other of the two sections, which are offset transversely one by relative to each other and relative to the longitudinal axis of sliding of the rack;
- the opening is a tailgate which, in the closed position, extends in a substantially vertical plane and which, in the open position, extends in a substantially horizontal plane above the vehicle;
- the tailgate is formed by a panel masking a recess in a frame of the structure delimited by a cross-member upper, by two lateral uprights and by a lower crosspiece, among which each lateral upright carries an axis of articulation of said end of a link rod of the tailgate whose other end is articulated on an axis of articulation carried by the tailgate;
- the device comprises means for balancing the opening which apply to it a balancing torque which compensates for the resistant torque due to the mass of the opening.
- Fig ure 1 is a side view, with partial cutaway, of the rear part of a motor vehicle whose tailgate is equipped with an articulation device in accordance with the teachings of the invention and which is illustrated, in solid lines, in the extreme open position and, in silhouette, in the extreme closed position and in a substantially middle intermediate position in which the reversal of the pivoting direction of the opening occurs;
- FIG. 2 is an elevational view on a larger scale of the detail D2 of Figure 1 and on which are represented its main elements of the front end of a hinge rod according to the teachings of the invention;
- FIG. 3 is an elevational view on a larger scale corresponding to the detail D3 of Figure 1 which illustrates the rear end of the articulation rod connected to the tailgate;
- FIG. 4 and 5 are views similar to that of Figure 3 corresponding to the details D4 and D5 of Figure 1;
- - Figures 6 and 7 are sectional views along lines 6-6 and 7-7 of Figure 4;
- FIG. 8 is a sectional view along line 8-8 of Figure 2; and - Figure 9 is a partial exploded perspective view which illustrates the main active components of the articulation device according to the teachings of the invention arranged at the rear end of the connecting rod.
- Figure 1 a side view of the rear part of a motor vehicle 1 0 whose body 12 is open at the rear to allow access to the passenger compartment 14 of the vehicle and for example its loading.
- the opening is delimited by a frame which extends in a substantially vertical plane and which consists essentially of two vertical lateral uprights, one of which is shown in FIG. 1, the opposite lateral upright being arranged symmetrically with respect to the median longitudinal plane of general symmetry of the vehicle, and by two upper crosspieces 1 8 and lower 20 q which delimit a recess whose closure is ensured by an opening 22, also called tailgate, which is generally mounted pivoting relative to the structure of the vehicle body 12, around horizontal axes.
- a frame which extends in a substantially vertical plane and which consists essentially of two vertical lateral uprights, one of which is shown in FIG. 1, the opposite lateral upright being arranged symmetrically with respect to the median longitudinal plane of general symmetry of the vehicle, and by two upper crosspieces 1 8 and lower 20 q which delimit a recess whose closure is ensured by an opening 22, also called tailgate, which is generally mounted pivoting relative to the structure of the vehicle body 12, around horizontal axes.
- tailgate also called tailgate
- the tailgate 22 is illustrated in the extreme maximum opening position in FIG. 1.
- the opening 22 is pivotally mounted on the body 12 by a system with two geometric horizontal axes of articulation A1 ′′ and A2 thanks to an articulation mechanism with two parallel connecting rods which extend substantially parallel to the 'longitudinal axis of the vehicle, and one of which 24 is illustrated in Fig ures.
- the first front end 26 is hinged on the structure of the vehicle body around the first front hinge axis A1 while the second opposite end 28 is hinged on the opening 22 around the second rear articulation axis A2, parallel to the first articulation axis A1, these two axes extending in the general transverse direction of the vehicle.
- the first articulation axis A1 is located vertically in the vicinity of the cross member 1 8 and, in the extreme open position, the tailgate 22 extends in a substantially horizontal plane above the vehicle 1 0 and in particular partly above of his pavilion.
- the movement of pivoting of the opening 22 around the axis A2, relative to the second end 28 of the connecting rod 24, is generally subject to the pivoting movement of the first end 26 of the connecting rod 24 relative to the structure 12, 16 of the vehicle body by a servo mechanism.
- the body of the connecting rod 24 is essential constituted by a piece of cut and stamped sheet metal having the general form of a plate 32 whose long itudinal and parallel edges 34A and 34B are folded down at right angle.
- the connecting rod 30 is present in the form of a hollow body in which various components belonging to the servo mechanism are arranged.
- the servo-control mechanism 30 comprises a rack 36 whose tubular body is slidably mounted longitudinally inside the connecting rod 24 in a general sliding direction C, in a first direction C 1 forwards and in a second direction C2 rearward.
- the free front end 38 of the rack 36 is a toothed sector whose teeth 40 cooperate with the teeth opposite 42 of a first toothed pinion P1 of axis A1 fixed on a structural element of the body of the vehicle by means of a screw 44 which carries a socket 46 for mounting in rotation, around the axis A1, of the rear end 26 of the connecting rod 30.
- the toothed end 38 may be obtained in cooperation with the teeth of the non-P 1 pig by means of a roller 45 which urges it elastically under the action of a spring 46 fixed to the connecting rod 24.
- the rear free end 28 of the body of the connecting rod 30 is shaped like a fork with two parallel branches 28A and 28B which are connected together by the body in the form of a plate. 32.
- the second rear end of the rack 36 is shaped like a fork with two articulated branches.
- its tubular body is divided into Y by two rear end branches 50A and 50B, each of which carries at its free end, around a pivot 52A, 52B, a toothed section of rack 54A, 54B.
- the two toothed sections 54A, 54B thus extend longitudinally towards the rear, substantially parallel to the sliding direction C, from their rear longitudinal parts which are mounted articulated on the branches 50A and 50B around axes parallel to the axes A1 and A2.
- Each branch or toothed section 54A, 54B extends forwards beyond the pivot 52A, 52B by a tail 56A, 56B each of which carries a finger 58A, 58 B which extends laterally and which cooperates with one of the branches 60A, 60B of a wire spring 60 whose body is helically wound around a finger 62 which is slidably mounted in a rectilinear light 64 formed in the plate 32 of the body of the connecting rod 24 and which extends longitudinally in direction C, being delimited by its front end 66 and rear end 68 edges. To slide the finger 62 with the rack 36, its other end is crimped into a hole 69 in the body of the rack.
- the toothed section 54A is resiliently urged permanently in rotation about the axis of the pivot 52A in the clockwise direction considering fig ures 3 to 5, while the opposite toothed section 54B is biassed in rotation in the anti-direction -clockwise, that is to say that the spring 60 constantly tends to bring the teeth 72A, 72B of the two sections towards each other and towards the second rear articulation axis A2 located inside the fork.
- the second plate 70 of the body of the connecting rod 24 carries, in the vicinity from the rear end 28 of the latter, a pivot 74 of axis A2.
- the pivot 74 is fixed to the plate 70 and it rotates, with the interposition of sliding rings 76, a bearing bush 78 on which is rotatably mounted, about the axis A2, the body of the second toothed pinion P2 with which the sections 54A and 54B of the rack 36 cooperate.
- the pinion P2 is centered by a shoulder 80 in a semi-circular hole 82 in the rear part of the plate 32 of the body of the connecting rod 24.
- the bearing bush 78 has an internal radial groove 84 in which a complementary edge 86 of a plate 88 belonging to the tailgate 22 is received.
- the pinion P2 is linked in rotation to the plate 88 of the tailgate 22 by means of a screw 90, eccentric with respect to the axis A2, which passes through the tab 88 and a socket 92, into which it is screwed, and which is itself carried by the pinion P2.
- the sleeve 92 is slidably mounted in a light 94 in an arc formed in the plate 32 in the vicinity of the rear end 28 of the connecting rod 24 which is delimited by two rounded ends 96 and 98.
- the pinion P2 is thus linked in rotation to the lug 88 of the tailgate 22 and the rear end 28 of the connecting rod 24 is rotatably mounted about the axis A2 relative to the lug 88 of the tailgate
- the toothed pinion P2 comprises two toothed sectors 100A and 100B centered around the axis A2, the radius of the toothed sector 100A being greater than the radius of the toothed sector 1 00B.
- the teeth of the first toothed sector 100A are provided to mesh with the teeth facing 72A of the section 54A of the rack 36 while the teeth of the second toothed sector 100B are provided to mesh with the teeth 72B of the section 54B and this under the action of spring 60.
- each of the two sections 54A, 54B comprises a control finger 102A, 102B which extend laterally opposite the folded edges 34A and 34B of the rear end branches 28A and 28B of the body of the connecting rod 24.
- the folded edges 34A and 34B of the branches 28A and 28B of the rear end 28 of the connecting rod 24 constitute profiles or cams for controlling the angular positions of the toothed sections 54A and 54B which determine the engagement or meshing of the teeth 72A, 72B of these sections with the toothed sectors 100A and 100B of the second pinion P2.
- the edge 34A of the branch 28A has at its rear free end an external surface 104A for clearing the section 54A, which is of curved profile centered around the axis A2 and which extends rearwards, beyond a slot or notch 106A, by an internal face 1 08A for controlling the engagement or meshing of the section 54A with the sector 1 00A of the pinion P2.
- edge 34B comprises at the rear end of the branch 28B an internal profile 108B for engaging the toothed section 54B which extends, beyond a slot or notch 106B, towards the front by a face external 1 06B for clearing section 54B.
- control finger 1 02B of the toothed section 54B cooperates with the internal engagement surface 108B, that is to say that the toothed section 54B cannot pivot clockwise when considering FIG. 3, around the axis of its pivot 52B, thus guaranteeing the engagement of the teeth 72B with the teeth of the toothed sector 1 00B of the non-P2 pig, the teeth being moreover requested in cooperation by the action of the strand 60B of the spring 60.
- the tailgate 22 will generally pivot around the horizontal articulation axis A2 in the clockwise direction, that is to say that is to say that its lower edge 23 will not describe the circular trajectory T 'centered around the axis A1, as in the case of the state of the art, but that it will on the contrary describe the first part of the trajectory T illustrated in the figure.
- this first part of the trajectory during which the lower edge 23 progressively approaches the rear vertical plane of the vehicle makes it possible to greatly reduce the minimum d istance L between the rear bumper 17 of the vehicle and the front bumper 1 9 of a vehicle parked behind and nearby.
- the connecting rod 24 is of substantially horizontal orientation.
- the fingers 102A and 102B for controlling the toothed sections 54A and 54B are exactly opposite the slots 106A and 106B.
- the last tooth 100B 'of the toothed sector 1 00B of the pinion P2 cooperates with the last tooth 72B' of the toothed section 54B while the first tooth 100A 'of the toothed sector 100A cooperates with the first tooth 72A' of the toothed section 54A.
- control finger 1 02A no longer cooperates with the external release surface 104A and, under the action of the strand 60A of the spring 60, the toothed section 54A pivots around the axis of the pivot 52A, clockwise considering the figures, so as to cause the meshing of the first teeth 72A 'and 100A'.
- the pivot 62 which carries the spring 60 is substantially halfway along the lumen 64, that is to say that the rack 36 is generally halfway along its maximum stroke relative to the body of the connecting rod 24.
- toothing of the toothed sector 100B by means of its tooth 100B 'which, by acting on the slope of the last tooth 72B' of the toothed section 54B, then makes this section 54B pivot around the axis of the pivot. 52B to cause it to disengage or disengage, the finger 102B no longer bearing against the internal engagement surface 108B. From the position illustrated in Figure 4, if the opening continues, the sliding and rotation continue until reaching the maximum opening position illustrated in Figure 5.
- the control finger 102B of the toothed section 52B of the rack 36 cooperates with the external clearance surface 104B and, despite the action of the strand 60B of the spring 60 , the toothed section 54B cannot pivot around the axis of its pivot 52B, counterclockwise, and there can therefore be no accidental engagement between the teeth 72B and the teeth of the sector 100B of the pinion P2.
- control finger 102A cooperates with the internal engagement surface 108A so as to guarantee that the teeth 72A always mesh with the teeth of the toothed sector 1 00A.
- the cooperation of the teeth of the toothed section 52A with the teeth of the pinion P2, during the relative sliding forward in the direction C 1 of the rack 36 relative to the connecting rod 24 - between the positions illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 - causes then simultaneously a rotation of the pinion P2, and therefore of the tailgate 22, with respect to the rear end 28 of the connecting rod 30 in the counterclockwise direction by considering FIGS. 4 and 5.
- the tailgate 22 pivots around the axis A2 anti-clockwise so as to reach an extreme position of opening the tailgate 22 in which it extends substantially horizontally above the roof of the vehicle with its external face turned upwards.
- the lower edge 23 deviates again towards the rear relative to the rear vertical plane of the vehicle, but this in an area situated high up in which there is no longer any risk of interference and collision with the front part of the vehicle body located immediately behind.
- the tailgate can of course be equipped with means (not shown in the figures) of known design which compensate for its mass and which facilitate its maneuvers.
