Description

Porte latérale de véhicule automobile comportant un bandeau pour augmenter la résistance de la porte à l'égard des chocs latéraux et véhicule équipé d'une telle porte Side door of a motor vehicle comprising a headband for increasing the resistance of the door with respect to side impacts and vehicle equipped with such a door

La présente invention concerne une porte latérale de véhicule automobile comportant un bandeau pour augmenter sa résistance à l'égard des chocs frontaux et latéraux.The present invention relates to a motor vehicle side door having a strip to increase its resistance to frontal and lateral impacts.

L'invention concerne également un véhicule automobile comportant au moins une porte latérale selon l'invention.The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising at least one side door according to the invention.

Les figures 1 à 3 représentent une porte latérale de véhicule automobile, d'un type connu.Figures 1 to 3 show a side door of a motor vehicle of a known type.

La figure 1 est une vue schématique en plan, d'une porte latérale dont le panneau extérieur a été enlevé. La figure 2 est une vue en coupe, à échelle agrandie, suivant le plan II-II de la figure 1, le panneau extérieur de la porte étant en place.Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of a side door whose outer panel has been removed. Figure 2 is a sectional view, on an enlarged scale, along the plane II-II of Figure 1, the outer panel of the door being in place.

La figure 3 est une vue en coupe, à échelle agrandie, suivant le plan III-III de la figure 2, montrant la partie supérieure du caisson de la porte. Les figures 1 à 3 montrent que la porte latérale de véhicule automobile comporte un caisson 1 constitué par une doublure de porte 2 et un panneau extérieur 3 (visible sur les figures 2 et 3).Figure 3 is a sectional view, on an enlarged scale, along the plane III-III of Figure 2, showing the upper part of the door box. Figures 1 to 3 show that the side door of a motor vehicle comprises a box 1 consisting of a door liner 2 and an outer panel 3 (visible in Figures 2 and 3).

Le caisson 1 est apte à recevoir une vitre 4 dont le mouvement de haut en bas est guidé par des rails 5 visibles sur la figure 2. La partie supérieure du caisson 1 comporte un bandeau 6 en tôle pour augmenter la résistance de la porte aux chocs frontaux et latéraux.The casing 1 is able to receive a window 4 whose movement from top to bottom is guided by rails 5 visible in FIG. 2. The upper part of the casing 1 comprises a strip 6 made of sheet metal to increase the resistance of the door to the shocks. frontal and lateral.

Ce bandeau 6 s'étend sensiblement horizontalement entre la face latérale avant 2a et la face latérale arrière 2b de la doublure de porte 2. Le bandeau 6 comporte (voir figure 3) une doublure 7 de section transversale sensiblement en U dont la base 7a est dirigée vers la vitre 4 et les extrémités des deux ailes 7b sont fixées à une tôle de renfort 8 dont la face opposée à la doublure 7 du bandeau est dirigée vers le fond 9 de la doublure 2 de la porte. D'autres renforts sont prévus à l'intérieur du caisson 1 de la porte.This strip 6 extends substantially horizontally between the front lateral face 2a and the rear lateral face 2b of the door liner 2. The strip 6 comprises (see FIG. 3) a liner 7 of substantially U-shaped cross-section whose base 7a is directed towards the window 4 and the ends of the two wings 7b are attached to a reinforcing sheet 8, the face opposite the lining 7 of the strip is directed towards the bottom 9 of the lining 2 of the door. Other reinforcements are provided inside the casing 1 of the door.

Cependant, ceux-ci n'ont pas été représentés sur les figures 1 à 3 pour simplifier celles-ci. Le bandeau 6 permet d'augmenter principalement la résistance de la porte à l'égard des chocs frontaux.However, these have not been shown in Figures 1 to 3 to simplify them. The strip 6 makes it possible to increase mainly the resistance of the door with respect to frontal shocks.

A cet effet, il est rectiligne et présente une section constante.For this purpose, it is rectilinear and has a constant section.

Cependant, le bandeau 6 ne présente pas une résistance optimale à l'égard des chocs latéraux.However, the strip 6 does not have optimal resistance to side impacts.

En effet, sa déformation sous l'effet de chocs latéraux engendre une intrusion vers l'intérieur de l'habitacle qui est susceptible de déclencher l'airbag latéral (coussin gonflable) et de causer des blessures à l'occupant présent à proximité de la porte. Ce problème peut être résolu en augmentant l'épaisseur de la tôle et/ ou la section du bandeau.Indeed, its deformation under the effect of side impacts generates an intrusion into the interior of the passenger compartment which is likely to trigger the side airbag (air bag) and cause injury to the occupant present near the door. This problem can be solved by increasing the thickness of the sheet and / or the section of the strip.

Toutefois, ces mesures augmentent la masse et/ ou l'encombrement du bandeau.However, these measures increase the mass and / or bulk of the strip.

Le but de l'invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients.The object of the invention is to overcome these disadvantages.

Ce but est atteint, selon l'invention, grâce à une porte latérale de véhicule automobile comportant un caisson constitué par une doublure de porte et un panneau extérieur, ce caisson étant apte à recevoir une vitre, la partie supérieure du caisson comportant un bandeau en tôle pour augmenter la résistance de la porte aux chocs frontaux et latéraux, ce bandeau s 'étendant entre la face latérale avant et la face latérale arrière de la doublure de porte, caractérisée en ce que l'une des faces du bandeau présente une courbure dont la convexité est dirigée vers le panneau extérieur de la porte. Etant donné que la convexité de la courbure de ladite face du bandeau est dirigée vers le panneau extérieur, ce bandeau présente une meilleure résistance à l'égard des chocs latéraux.This object is achieved, according to the invention, thanks to a side door of a motor vehicle comprising a box consisting of a door liner and an outer panel, this box being adapted to receive a window, the upper part of the box having a strip of sheet for increasing the resistance of the door to frontal and lateral impacts, this strip extending between the front lateral face and the rear lateral face of the door liner, characterized in that one of the faces of the strip has a curvature of which the convexity is directed towards the outer panel of the door. Since the convexity of the curvature of said face of the strip is directed towards the outer panel, this strip has a better resistance to side impacts.

Dans une version préférée de l'invention, le bandeau comporte une doublure de section transversale sensiblement en U dont la base est dirigée vers la vitre, et dont les extrémités des deux ailes sont fixées à une tôle de renfort dont la face opposée à la doublure du bandeau est dirigée vers le fond de la doublure de la porte.In a preferred version of the invention, the strip comprises a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional lining whose base is directed towards the window, and whose ends of the two wings are fixed to a reinforcing sheet whose face opposite to the lining the headband is directed towards the bottom of the lining of the door.

De préférence, la courbure de la base de la doublure du bandeau forme un arc qui s'étend entre les deux extrémités de la doublure du bandeau. De ce fait, la section du bandeau est plus importante au milieu de sa longueur qu'à ces extrémités.Preferably, the curvature of the base of the lining of the headband forms an arc that extends between the two ends of the lining of the headband. As a result, the section of the band is larger in the middle of its length than at these ends.

Cette courbure ou cet arc peut présenter une flèche comprise entre 1 et 4 mm. Ainsi, la section du bandeau est légèrement supérieure au milieu de sa longueur qu'à ces extrémités, de sorte que la courbure a une incidence négligeable sur l'encombrement ou le volume du bandeau.This curvature or this arc may have an arrow of between 1 and 4 mm. Thus, the section of the strip is slightly greater in the middle of its length than at these ends, so that the curvature has a negligible impact on the size or the volume of the strip.

De préférence, la courbure de ladite face du bandeau est sensiblement identique à celle de la vitre. Plus particulièrement, la base de la doublure (7) du bandeau suit de très près le profil courbe de la vitre.Preferably, the curvature of said face of the strip is substantially identical to that of the window. More particularly, the base of the lining (7) of the strip follows very closely the curved profile of the window.

Dans ce cas, l'augmentation de la section au milieu de la longueur du bandeau n'a aucune incidence sur son encombrement à l'intérieur de la porte. Dans une version particulièrement avantageuse de l'invention, la tôle de renfort du bandeau est plane et est rectiligne sur toute sa longueur.In this case, increasing the section in the middle of the length of the strip has no impact on its size inside the door. In a particularly advantageous version of the invention, the reinforcing sheet of the strip is flat and is rectilinear over its entire length.

Cette tôle de renfort rectiligne permet au bandeau de résister aux chocs frontaux malgré la courbure définie ci-dessus. A titre d'exemple, l'épaisseur de la tôle de la doublure du bandeau est de l'ordre de 1,8 mm et l'épaisseur de la tôle de ladite tôle de renfort est de l'ordre de 0,9 mm.This rectilinear reinforcing sheet allows the headband to withstand frontal impacts despite the curvature defined above. For example, the thickness of the sheet of the lining of the strip is of the order of 1.8 mm and the thickness of the sheet of said reinforcing sheet is of the order of 0.9 mm.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore tout au long de la description ci-après.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent throughout the description below.

Aux dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples, non limitatifs : la figure 4 est une vue en perspective partielle du bandeau d'une porte selon l'invention, la figure 5 est une vue de dessus du bandeau d'une porte selon l'invention.In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example: FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view of the headband of a door according to the invention, FIG. 5 is a view from above of the headband of a door according to FIG. 'invention.

Le bandeau 6 représenté sur les figures 4 et 5 diffère de celui représenté sur les figures 1 à 3 essentiellement par le fait que la base 7a de la doublure 7 du bandeau 6 présente une courbure dont la convexité est dirigée vers le panneau extérieur 3 de la porte.The strip 6 shown in Figures 4 and 5 differs from that shown in Figures 1 to 3 essentially in that the base 7a of the lining 7 of the strip 6 has a curvature whose convexity is directed towards the outer panel 3 of the door.

Cette courbure n'est pas visible sur la figure 4, mais l'est sur la figure 5 car elle a été volontairement exagérée par rapport à la réalité. On voit sur cette figure 5 que cette courbure forme un arc qui s'étend entre les deux extrémités opposées de la doublure du bandeau 6.This curvature is not visible in Figure 4, but is in Figure 5 because it was deliberately exaggerated in relation to reality. It can be seen in this FIG. 5 that this curvature forms an arc that extends between the two opposite ends of the lining of the strip 6.

A titre d'exemple, cette courbure présente une flèche comprise entre 1 et 4 mm.By way of example, this curvature has an arrow of between 1 and 4 mm.

Cette courbure suffit pour augmenter la résistance de la porte selon l'invention, aux chocs latéraux.This curvature is sufficient to increase the strength of the door according to the invention, side impacts.

De préférence, cette courbure est sensiblement identique à celle de la vitre 4, ce qui permet à la base 7a de la doublure 7 du bandeau de suivre de très près le profil courbe de la vitre 4.Preferably, this curvature is substantially identical to that of the window 4, which allows the base 7a of the lining 7 of the strip to follow very closely the curved profile of the window 4.

Les figures 4 et 5 montrent également que la tôle de renfort 8 est plane et est rectiligne sur toute sa longueur.Figures 4 and 5 also show that the reinforcing plate 8 is flat and is straight throughout its length.

Cette tôle de renfort 8 est soudée sur des rebords 7c (voir figure 4) plies aux extrémités des deux ailes 7b de la section en U de la doublure 7 du bandeau 6.This reinforcement plate 8 is welded on flanges 7c (see FIG. 4) folded at the ends of the two flanges 7b of the U-shaped section of the lining 7 of the strip 6.

Ainsi, la figure 5 montre que la section du bandeau 6 augmente progressivement entre chacune des extrémités du bandeau 6 et le milieu de celui-ci.Thus, Figure 5 shows that the section of the strip 6 increases gradually between each of the ends of the strip 6 and the middle thereof.

De même, la largeur de chacune des deux ailes 7b de la doublure du bandeau augmente progressivement entre chacune des extrémités du bandeau et le milieu de celui-ci.Similarly, the width of each of the two wings 7b of the lining of the strip increases progressively between each of the ends of the strip and the middle thereof.

L'arc formé par la courbure de la base 7a de la doublure du bandeau peut être par exemple un arc de cercle ou d'ellipse.The arc formed by the curvature of the base 7a of the lining of the strip may be for example an arc or ellipse.

A titre d'exemple, l'épaisseur de la tôle de la doublure 7 du bandeau est de l'ordre de 1,8 mm et l'épaisseur de la tôle de ladite tôle de renfort est de l'ordre de 0,9 mm.By way of example, the thickness of the sheet of the lining 7 of the strip is of the order of 1.8 mm and the thickness of the sheet of said reinforcing sheet is of the order of 0.9 mm. .

Les tests de choc latéral effectués sur une porte comportant un bandeau 6 ayant les caractéristiques de l'exemple ci-dessus ont révélés que celui-ci présentait une résistance à la flexion supérieure à celle d'un bandeau rectiligne classique ayant les mêmes dimensions et les mêmes épaisseurs de tôle.The side impact tests performed on a door having a strip 6 having the characteristics of the example above revealed that it had a higher bending strength than a conventional rectilinear strip having the same dimensions and dimensions. same sheet thicknesses.

Ainsi, avec le bandeau selon l'invention, l'intrusion de la porte à l'intérieur de l'habitacle est moindre que dans le cas du bandeau rectiligne classique, de sorte que les risques de déclenchement de l'airbag latéral et de blessures des occupants sont réduits. II a été constaté que la plastification de la tôle du bandeau démarrait plus tôt, après le choc, dans le cas du bandeau classique que dans le cas du bandeau selon l'invention.Thus, with the strip according to the invention, the intrusion of the door inside the passenger compartment is less than in the case of the conventional rectilinear strip, so that the risks of triggering the side airbag and injuries occupants are reduced. It has been found that the plasticization of the sheet of the strip starts earlier, after the impact, in the case of the conventional strip than in the case of the strip according to the invention.

Il a été constaté également que la vitesse de la déformation du bandeau classique était plus élevée que dans le cas du bandeau selon l'invention.It was also found that the speed of deformation of the conventional strip was higher than in the case of the strip according to the invention.

En résumé, une porte équipée d'un tel bandeau que celui représenté sur la figure 5 protège mieux les occupants d'un véhicule automobile comportant une telle porte, que dans le cas d'un bandeau rectiligne classique. In summary, a door equipped with such a strip as that shown in Figure 5 better protects the occupants of a motor vehicle with such a door, as in the case of a conventional rectilinear strip.
