Description

RESERVOIR DE LAVE GLACE PERFECTIONNE  PERFECTIONED ICE WASH TANK

La présente invention est relative à un réservoir de stockage de liquide de lavage de surface vitrée. The present invention relates to a glass surface wash liquid storage tank.

Le réservoir de stockage contenant l'eau destinée à l'alimentation de gicleurs associés à des moyens de balayage pour le nettoyage des éléments vitrés d'un véhicule automobile, en particulier du pare-brise avant et/ou de sa lunette arrière, doit présenter un volume non négligeable pour permettre un usage pendant une longue durée entre deux remplissages, ce volume pouvant atteindre couramment 7 à 8 litres, étant surtout limité par la place disponible pour le loger habituellement dans le compartiment moteur de ce véhicule.  The storage tank containing the water intended to supply sprinklers associated with scanning means for cleaning the glazed elements of a motor vehicle, in particular the front windshield and / or its rear window, must present a volume not insignificant to allow use for a long time between two refills, this volume can currently reach 7 to 8 liters, being limited by the space available for housing usually in the engine compartment of the vehicle.

Ce volume d'eau important est soumis aux conditions climatiques de son environnement, avec des températures qui peuvent descendre très en dessous de 0° C lorsque le véhicule stationne de façon prolongée dans une zone très froide, en particulier dans certains pays. Il en résulte que le volume d'eau peut rapidement prendre en glace, même si ce volume contient une certaine quantité d'un additif qui abaisse son point de congélation, cette réduction étant toujours relativement limitée. Dans cette hypothèse, l'eau gelée a l'intérieur du réservoir de stockage augmente de volume et exerce sur les parois de celui- ci des contraintes de plus en plus élevées au fur et à mesure que la température extérieure diminue. Il peut donc en résulter que cette paroi dépasse ses limites de résistance et se fracture, rendant le réservoir de stockage inutilisable et exigeant son remplacement qui rend la prestation relativement onéreuse. This large volume of water is subject to the climatic conditions of its environment, with temperatures that can drop well below 0 ° C when the vehicle is parked for a long time in a very cold area, especially in some countries. As a result, the volume of water can quickly ice, even if this volume contains a certain amount of an additive that lowers its freezing point, this reduction is still relatively limited. In this case, the frozen water inside the storage tank increases of volume and exerts on the walls of the latter stresses of increasing and higher as the external temperature decreases. It can therefore result that this wall exceeds its strength limits and fractures, making the storage tank unusable and requiring replacement which makes the service relatively expensive.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection d'un réservoir de stockage de liquide pour lavage de surface vitrée d'un véhicule automobile, qui évite ces inconvénients.  The present invention relates to a device for protecting a liquid storage tank for glazed surface washing of a motor vehicle, which avoids these disadvantages.

Dans l'état de la technique nous connaissons le document FR2875765, à cet effet, le dispositif décrit est un réservoir de stockage de liquide de surface vitrée d'un véhicule automobile, délimitant un volume interne, fermé comprenant une paroi rigide, apte à contenir une quantité de liquide de lavage, propre à être prélevé et distribué via un gicleur projetant le liquide vers les surfaces vitrées à laver au moyen d'une pompe de circulation. La paroi du réservoir de stockage comporte au moins une zone frangible, propre à céder à la pression du liquide pris en glace à l'intérieur du réservoir de stockage, de manière à éviter la détérioration d'autres parties rigides de ce réservoir de stockage. En cas de poussée de l'eau prise en glace, la zone frangible du réservoir est seule brisée, autorisant des lors une réparation localisée et simple de cette zone uniquement, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de procéder au changement complet du réservoir de stockage. La zone frangible est adaptée à recevoir, pour réparation, un joint d'étanchéité substituant la pastille séparable de la paroi et propre à se solidariser de cette paroi dans l'orifice délimité selon la ligne de liaison à plus faible résistance mécanique. In the state of the art we know the document FR2875765, for this purpose, the device described is a glass surface liquid storage tank of a motor vehicle, delimiting an internal volume, closed comprising a rigid wall, able to contain a quantity of washing liquid, suitable for being taken and distributed via a jet projecting the liquid to the glass surfaces to be washed by means of a circulation pump. The wall of the storage tank has at least one frangible zone, capable of giving way to the pressure of the liquid taken up in ice inside the storage tank, so as to avoid the deterioration of other rigid parts of this storage tank. In the case of an increase in the ice water, the fringe zone of the tank is broken, allowing localized and simple repair of this area only, without the need to change the storage tank completely. The frangible zone is adapted to receive, for repair, a seal substituting the separable pellet of the wall and adapted to be secured to this wall in the orifice defined along the connecting line to lower mechanical strength.

Afin d'éviter cette réparation délicate qui peut de plus générer à terme des fuites ou des soucis d ' étanchéités susceptibles de provoquer une évaporation importante du liquide de lavage  In order to avoid this delicate repair, which can eventually generate leaks or sealing problems that may cause significant evaporation of the washing liquid

La présente invention est donc relative à un réservoir de stockage de liquide de lave vitre perfectionné, permettant de s'affranchir de ces inconvénients, c'est-à- dire de s'affranchir d'une détérioration complète ou partielle du réservoir, en proposant un réservoir de stockage, sans volume mort, apte à résister à l'augmentation de volume généré par le gel.  The present invention therefore relates to an improved windshield washer fluid storage tank, making it possible to overcome these drawbacks, that is to say to overcome a complete or partial deterioration of the tank, by proposing a storage tank, without dead volume, able to resist the increase in volume generated by the gel.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour but de proposer un réservoir de stockage de liquide de lave glace comportant une zone déformable élast iquement permettant une augmentation de volume du réservoir sans détérioration du réservoir . La présente invention est donc relative à un réservoir de stockage de liquide de lave de véhicule, et en ce que au moins une des parois du réservoir comprend une partie déformable élast iquement de manière à augmenter le volume du réservoir. For this purpose, the purpose of the invention is to propose a reservoir for storing windscreen washer fluid comprising an elastically deformable zone that makes it possible to increase the volume of the reservoir without damaging the reservoir. The present invention therefore relates to a vehicle lava liquid storage tank, and in that at least one of the walls of the tank comprises a deformable portion elastically so as to increase the volume of the tank.

Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, ladite paroi comprenant ladite partie déformable élast iquement est une paroi de la cuve, ce qui facilite la fabrication.  According to an advantageous characteristic, said wall comprising said elastically deformable part is a wall of the tank, which facilitates manufacture.

Avantageusement, ladite partie déformable élast iquement est une membrane en matériau plus souple que les autres parois de la cuve.  Advantageously, said elastically deformable portion is a membrane of softer material than the other walls of the tank.

De façon avantageuse, la membrane est rapportée sur la cuve par l'intermédiaire d'un support ce qui facilite son montage.  Advantageously, the membrane is attached to the tank via a support which facilitates its mounting.

Selon une caractéristique, la cuve comporte une ouverture sur sa partie supérieure dans laquelle est située ladite partie déformable élast iquement , permettant de contrôler son fonctionnement.  According to one characteristic, the tank has an opening on its upper part in which is located said elastically deformable portion, to control its operation.

Selon une autre caractéristique, l'ouverture de la cuve est circulaire, ce qui est facile à fabriquer.  According to another characteristic, the opening of the vessel is circular, which is easy to manufacture.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le support est chaussé dans l'ouverture circulaire de la cuve, facilitant son montage .  According to another feature, the support is shod in the circular opening of the tank, facilitating its mounting.

Avantageusement, la partie déformable est chaussée à l'intérieur du support, pour son maintien efficace. Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, le matériau souple est une membrane apte à se déformer entre 5 à 10% du volume de liquide de lavage . Advantageously, the deformable part is paved inside the support, for its effective maintenance. According to an advantageous characteristic, the flexible material is a membrane capable of deforming between 5 to 10% of the volume of washing liquid.

L'invention concerne également un véhicule comportant un réservoir de liquide lave glace suivant l'invention définie ci- dessus .  The invention also relates to a vehicle comprising a washer fluid reservoir according to the invention defined above.

D'autres caractéristiques d'un réservoir de stockage réalisé conformément à l'invention, apparaîtront encore à travers la description qui suit de plusieurs exemples de réalisation donnés à titre indicatif et non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :  Other characteristics of a storage tank made in accordance with the invention will become apparent from the following description of several exemplary embodiments given by way of non-limiting indication with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

— La figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un réservoir de stockage de liquide de lave glace suivant l'art antérieur. — La figure 2 est une vue schématique d'un réservoir de stockage de liquide de lave glace suivant l'invention. - Figure 1 is a schematic view of a washer fluid storage tank according to the prior art. - Figure 2 is a schematic view of a washer fluid storage tank according to the invention.

-La figure 3 est une vue schématique montrant un réservoir de stockage de liquide de lave glace suivant l'invention en situation dynamique.  FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing an ice-cream liquid storage tank according to the invention in a dynamic situation.

La figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un réservoir de stockage 1 et d'un circuit d'alimentation 2 partiel d'un gicleur suivant l'art antérieur. De façon classique, le réservoir 1 comprend une cuve la, formé de parois rigides, une goulotte lb rapporté généralement sur le dessus de la cuve la et fixé par l'intermédiaire d'un joint lf, un bouchon le, des moyens de fixation ld et un détecteur de niveau le. En partie basse de sa paroi latérale, un piquage le permet le raccordement à une pompe 3 qui alimente via un conduit 2, le liquide de lavage jusqu'à la buse du gicleur (non représentée) . Figure 1 is a schematic view of a storage tank 1 and a partial feed circuit 2 of a nozzle according to the prior art. In a classic way, the tank 1 comprises a tank 1a, formed by rigid walls, a chute 1b generally attached to the top of the tank 1a and fixed via a seal 1f, a cap 1a, a fixing means 1d and a level detector the. In the lower part of its side wall, a stitching allows the connection to a pump 3 which feeds via a conduit 2, the washing liquid to the nozzle of the nozzle (not shown).

-La figure 2 est une vue schématique montrant un réservoir de stockage 1 de liquide de lave glace suivant l'invention, en situation statique. Le réservoir de stockage 1 en lui- même est identique à celui de l'art antérieur et par conséquent, les repères désignant des pièces communes seront repris. De façon classique, le réservoir de stockage de liquide de lave glace comprend une cuve la, formé de parois rigides, une goulotte lb rapporté généralement sur le dessus de la cuve la et fixé par l'intermédiaire d'un joint lf , un bouchon le, et des moyens de fixation ld. La paroi supérieure 5 du réservoir de stockage 1 comporte une ouverture 6 de préférence circulaire. Un support 7 est chaussé dans l'ouverture. Le dit support 7 est conformé suivant la forme de l'ouverture et comprend une rainure périphérique externe 8 dont la dimension est légèrement inférieure à la dimension de l'ouverture de la paroi 5 du réservoir de stockage 1. On comprend que la rainure périphérique 8 affleure au bord de l'ouverture de la paroi 5, tandis que les bords inférieur et supérieur du support 7 recouvrent les bords inférieur et supérieur de la paroi 5 du réservoir de stockage 1. Le support 7 a une section générale en forme de H, dont le côté est positionné horizontalement. La surface externe de l'âme 7a du H constitue la rainure périphérique 8 de l'ouverture. La membrane élastique 9 peut- être mise en place avant d'introduire le support 7 dans l'ouverture 6. La membrane élastique 9 dont la dimension est légèrement inférieure à la dimension de l'ouverture de la rainure interne 10 constituée par la surface interne de l'âme du H, du support 7 est introduite dans rainure interne 10 tandis que les bords inférieur et supérieur recouvrent et enserrent la membrane 9 sur sa bordure tout autour de son périmètre. FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a storage tank 1 of washing-up liquid according to the invention, in a static situation. The storage tank 1 in itself is identical to that of the prior art and therefore the reference marks designating common parts will be included. Conventionally, the washer fluid storage tank comprises a tank 1a, formed by rigid walls, a trough 1b generally attached to the top of the tank 1a and fixed via a seal 1f, a plug , and fixing means ld. The upper wall 5 of the storage tank 1 has an opening 6 preferably circular. A support 7 is shod in the opening. Said support 7 is shaped according to the shape of the opening and comprises an outer peripheral groove 8 whose dimension is slightly smaller than the dimension of the opening of the wall 5 of the storage tank 1. It is understood that the peripheral groove 8 is flush with the edge of the opening of the wall 5, while the lower and upper edges of the support 7 cover the lower and upper edges of the wall 5 of the storage tank 1. The support 7 has a general section H-shaped, whose side is positioned horizontally. The outer surface of the core 7a of H constitutes the peripheral groove 8 of the opening. The elastic membrane 9 can be put in place before introducing the support 7 into the opening 6. The elastic membrane 9 whose size is slightly smaller than the dimension of the opening of the inner groove 10 constituted by the inner surface the core of the H, the support 7 is introduced into the inner groove 10 while the lower and upper edges overlap and enclose the membrane 9 on its edge all around its perimeter.

Afin de d'assurer une bonne tenue mécanique du support 8 sur la paroi 5 du réservoir de stockage 1 et du support 8 sur la bordure de la membrane 9, une adjonction de colle peut être effectuée dans les rainures 8 et 10. Dans le cas de la figure, le réservoir de stockage 1 est entièrement rempli de liquide de lavage 12. -La figure 3 est une vue schématique montrant un réservoir de stockage 1 de liquide de lave glace 12 entièrement rempli suivant l'invention en situation dynamique. Lorsque le réservoir de stockage 1 est pris en glace suite à des conditions météorologiques très défavorables et prolongées. Le volume supplémentaire du liquide de lavage 12 dû au gel exerce une pression sur les parois du réservoir de stockage suivant les flèches 13 et déforme mécaniquement la partie la plus faible c'est- à-dire la membrane élastique 9, retenue par les bords du support 7, dont la paroi 9a se gonfle sous l'effet de la pression mais ne se rompt pas. Ainsi, lorsque la température redevient positive, la glace se liquéfie et le liquide de lavage redevient à son volume d'origine tandis que la paroi de la membrane 7 reprend une surface plane. In order to ensure a good mechanical strength of the support 8 on the wall 5 of the storage tank 1 and the support 8 on the edge of the membrane 9, an addition of glue can be performed in the grooves 8 and 10. In the case of the figure, the storage tank 1 is completely filled with washing liquid 12. FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view showing a storage tank 1 of washer fluid 12 completely filled according to the invention in a dynamic situation. When the storage tank 1 is caught in ice following very unfavorable and prolonged weather conditions. The additional volume of the washing liquid 12 due to the gel exerts a pressure on the walls of the storage tank according to the arrows 13 and mechanically deforms the weakest part, that is to say the elastic membrane 9, retained by the edges of the support 7, whose wall 9a inflates under the effect of pressure but does not break. Thus, when the temperature becomes positive again, the ice liquefies and the washing liquid returns to its original volume while the wall of the membrane 7 resumes a flat surface.

Bien entendu, il va de soi que l'invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple de réalisation plus spécialement décrit et représenté en référence aux dessins annexés ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes.  Of course, it goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment more specifically described and shown with reference to the accompanying drawings; on the contrary, it embraces all variants.
