专利说明:

[0001] The invention relates to motor vehicles and their ability to be repaired cheaply following a collision. More particularly, the invention relates to equipment damage to the front of a vehicle in the event of a collision. The front part of a vehicle is usually the preferred place for mounting equipment whose functionality is related to their positioning. For example, a motorcycle fan unit takes advantage of the air generated by the advancement of the vehicle, a distance detection radar, to help respect the inter-vehicle time, takes advantage of the visibility towards the front of the vehicle. Such equipment, in this case substantially expensive, take advantage of their positioning at the front of the vehicle, but they are in return often the first impacted in a collision at the front of the vehicle. A front shock absorber system or device for a vehicle is conventionally constituted by a front bumper fixed to the structure and a transverse beam fixed on two stretchers (longitudinal beams extending along the engine compartment) whose front parts are deformable. . Equipment behind the front bumper can be destroyed during a front impact at moderate speed, it can also be slightly damaged or deformed while remaining functional during impacts of lower intensity. A front shock absorber for a vehicle must satisfy many benefits, including frontal impact tests at less than 20 km / h. Among these tests, there is an impact test on a wall inclined by 10 °, the impact happening at the front left of the vehicle at different speeds from 4km / h up to 20km / h. This test is that of the repairability of a vehicle. This is a significantly new and mandatory test for motor vehicles for the German market. Indeed, the new classification called "GDV" (acronym for "Gesamtverband der Deutschen Versicherung") carried out by a group of insurers was put in place to make operational a system of lump sum refund of any accidented vehicle. The lump sum reimbursement is linked to this classification itself obtained according to the result obtained in the repairability test. A new class of insurance is thus established, presented in the form of a ranking between 0 and 30, the lowest ranking being sought because corresponding to a smaller basket of parts to repair. This "GDV" ranking is published.
[0002] It is therefore desirable to satisfy with a good ranking this new test of repairability front impact of the vehicle less than 20km / h. A peculiarity of the reading of the damage caused by such a test on a vehicle, is that even slightly damaged but still functional equipment is no longer considered as such and causes a degradation of the classification "GDV" of the vehicle. For example, a vehicle with a radar or a motorcycle fan unit behind a front bumper and seeing during such a test one or the other damaged, but still functional, can be given a rating degradation " GDV 'reparability of one or even two points. But the "GDV" ranking range of vehicles of different brands but of the same range, is generally significantly reduced, it can be three points. A vehicle suffering degradation of one or even two ranking points is therefore notoriously penalized. The aim of the invention is to avoid the degradation of the "GDV" classification of a vehicle during the frontal impact test at less than 20km / h, the result of the test establishing this classification. More particularly, the invention aims to limit the damage to equipment, such as a distance detection radar, disposed in front of a vehicle. The subject of the invention is an equipment support for a motor vehicle, in particular an electronic control unit, intended to be placed at the front of said vehicle, between a front facade and a front shield of said vehicle, and comprising a mounting surface for the vehicle. equipment and at least one bracket for the vehicle, remarkable in that it further comprises at least one protective lug of the equipment, projecting from the mounting surface, adapted to be contacted by the front bumper when deformed in the event of impact at the front of the vehicle.
[0003] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support comprises at least two protection tabs extending generally perpendicularly to the mean plane of the mounting surface. These two legs are preferably spaced apart from one another and generally parallel. The equipment can be housed between the two legs. Additional legs may be provided. In particular, they may partially or totally surround the equipment.
[0004] Advantageously, the support is shaped by stamping and / or bending, at least one of the fixing and protection tabs comprising a shaping or folding increasing its rigidity. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the or each of the protective tabs comprises a folded end portion forming a frontal surface.
[0005] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the fastening lug (s) extend in a direction opposite to that of the one or more protective lugs. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the or at least one of the fastening tabs extends in one or more planes generally perpendicular to that or those of the protective tab or tabs.
[0006] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the fastening lug or at least one of the fastening tabs extends in a main direction inclined relative to the perpendicular to the median plane of the mounting surface, so as to favor the bending of said one or more lugs and an erase of the support during the impact. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support comprises the equipment, or the protective tabs extending from the mounting surface, beyond said equipment. The protective tab or tabs may protrude from the front face of the equipment by at least 5 mm, preferably 10 mm, more preferably 15 mm. The equipment can be a distance detection radar. The equipment can be electric and have a generally parallelepiped shape.
[0007] The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising a front panel, a front shield disposed in front of the front panel, and equipment disposed between the front and the front shield by means of a support, remarkable in that the support is according to the invention, the protective tab or tabs extending towards the front of the vehicle.
[0008] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the protective tab or tabs extend at least substantially horizontally and / or vertically. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support is mounted on a lateral part of the front facade, the front edge of the or at least one of the protective tabs being at a distance from the front shield, preferably a distance of at least minus 25 millimeters, more preferably a distance of at least 40 millimeters. Advantageously, the protective tab or one of the protection tabs extends laterally to the equipment, on the side of the equipment which is directed laterally towards the outside of the vehicle.
[0009] According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the support is mounted on a lateral front support, adjacent to the motorcycle fan unit, preferably at the rear of an air inlet grille of the front bumper, said support preferably carrying a radar, including a distance detection radar. The measures of the invention are interesting in that they make it possible to avoid damage to equipment, particularly expensive equipment, by moving the front bumper during its deformation in the event of an impact at the front of the vehicle and thus avoid a deterioration of the classification "GDV" of repairability of the vehicle. Indeed, the one or more protection tabs protect the equipment from direct contact with the shield in case of impact. The one or more mounting tabs inclined relative to the direction of impact allow the support to fade, that is to say to move in the direction of impact. Other features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the description and drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a front view of a motor vehicle comprising a support according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a view from above of the support of FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is seen from the front of the support of FIGS. 1 and 2; - Figure 4 is a view of the support of Figures 1, 2 and 3, provided with equipment and mounted on the vehicle structure; Figure 1 is a front view of a motor vehicle 1 according to the invention. It is an illustration of various equipment that can be installed at the front of the vehicle for functional reasons, it also illustrates some of the systems or devices for absorbing shocks made to protect the vehicle 1 in front impact. In particular, the figure shows the elements of the front left side of the vehicle 1. Precisely we can see in an intermediate plane a support 2, a device 3 mounted on the support 2, and a deformable section 4 also commonly called "crashbox" . We can also see in the foreground a front bumper 6, an air intake grille 8 mounted through the front bumper and a transverse beam 10. Finally, we can see in the background a front panel 12 comprising a motorcycle fan unit 14, as well as a lateral support of frontage 16. The lateral support of facade 16 is the element on which is mounted the support 2, it is also the element on which is supported the upper crossbar (not shown) of the front panel 12, carrying the fan motor unit 14, the support surface 18 of the cross member at the upper end of the lateral support of facade 16. Make the connection between the deformable section 4 mounted in the extension stretcher 20, and a low pedestrian absorber (not shown) carrying the lower part of the front bumper 6, is also a function performed by the side lateral support 16.
[0010] In a lateral direction, the front lateral support 16 is on the left side (in connection with the vehicle) of the fan motor unit 14, the support 2 which is attached to it being in the axis of a lateral portion of the air intake grille 8 of the front bumper 6. This arrangement is particularly advantageous in the sense that a device 3, such as for example a radar, carried by the support 2 is given a field of visibility in front of the vehicle. In a longitudinal direction, the support 2 is located in front of the lateral support of frontage 16 and behind the front bumper 6. The support 2 can be described from the rear to the front of the vehicle, with brackets 22 attached to the side of the lateral support 16, a mounting surface 24 receiving the equipment 3 and then the protective tabs 26 and 34 of the equipment 3. The protective tabs 26 and 34 extend from the mounting surface 24, to the front and beyond the equipment 3, it is thus that they ensure its protection. The protective tabs 26 extend substantially horizontally while the protective tab 34 extends substantially vertically laterally to the equipment. The front edge or at least one of the front edges of the protective tabs 26 and 34 is at a distance from the front shield 6, preferably less than 40 millimeters, more preferably less than 25 millimeters.
[0011] Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the support 2 according to the invention and according to two angles of view. Figure 2 is a top view of the equipment support 2. A collision wall 27 is schematically represented by the bold line below the support 2 in the image. The orientation of the wall 27 has an inclination according to the protocol of the repairability test in question. During the collision of the vehicle with the wall 27, the support 2 comes into contact with the rear face of the shield. The delimitation of the rear face of the shield may also be represented by the wall 27. The protective tabs 26 and 34 of the equipment protrude from the mounting surface 24 and are able to be contacted by the front bumper during its deformation. in case of impact in the front of the vehicle. The two fastening tabs 22 extend perpendicularly to the mean plane of the mounting surface 24, in opposition to those of the protective tabs 26 and 34. A front portion of at least one of the fastening tabs 22 (on the right-hand side) image) extends in a direction inclined at an angle α relative to the perpendicular to the mean plane of the mounting surface 24. A double fold is also formed in one of the fastening tabs 22 (left on the image) and gives an off-axis shape to this bracket. This angle and this misalignment promote the flexing of the fastening tabs 22 and an erasure of the support 2 during the impact. The free edges 28 in front of the protective tabs 26 and 34 may together form an angle with respect to the mounting surface 24. More precisely, an inclined impact plane may be formed between the free edges 28 of the protective tabs 26. as well as those of the lateral protection lug 34. This characteristic is particularly interesting in that it makes it possible to orient the resultant of the bias collision force with respect to a longitudinal axis, further facilitating the deletion of the support 2 The support 2 may also include perforations 32 so as to reduce the mass of the assembly.
[0012] Figure 3 is a view from the front of the support 2 according to the invention. The free edge 28 of the one or more protective tabs 26 and 34 referred to above is seen folded. The support 2 in fact can be shaped by stamping and / or folding, at least one of the fastening tabs 22 and protection 26 and 34 comprising a shaping or folding increasing its rigidity. In particular, the free edge 28 of the or each of the protective tabs 26 and 34 may comprise a folded end portion forming a front surface 36. This front surface 36 may be oriented relative to the plane of the mounting surface 24 as seen above in connection with Figure 2, thus also facilitating the erasure of the support 2, while improving local stiffness at the end portions of the protective tabs 26 and 34. The protective tabs 26 and 34 of the support 2 can also be reported by standard means of fixing the type bolts and / or rivets on a support 2 then comprising only fastening tabs 22 and a mounting surface 24.
[0013] By similar means, the fastening tabs 22 can be mounted on the mounting surface 24. FIG. 3 shows one or more additional mounting tabs 40 with attachment holes 42 and extending in the general plane of the Mounting surface 24. Fixing holes 44 can also be seen on the fastening tabs 22, intended to be used for mounting on the vehicle structure. Figure 4 illustrates a side view of the support 2 provided with equipment 3 and mounted on the lateral support facade 16, according to the invention. The equipment 3 may be a radar, especially a distance detection radar, it may be electric and have a generally parallelepiped shape. The equipment 3 can also be inside a housing 46. In this case the figure shows a housing 46 provided with fixing holes 48. The mounting lugs 40 and fixing holes 42 described above. in relation to FIG. 3, facing these fixing holes 48 of the housing 46 and allowing the equipment 3 and / or the housing 46 to be mounted on the mounting surface 24.
[0014] We can see the protective tabs 26 and 34, extending beyond the equipment 3 in the opposite direction to that to which the fastening tabs 22 extend, the latter moving towards the side lateral support. 16. The lateral protective lug 34 and / or the central protective lug or lugs 26 may protrude from the front face of the equipment by at least 5 mm, preferably 10 mm, more preferably 15 mm. The support 2 may be provided with at least one central protection tab 26. It may also be provided with one or more lateral protective tabs 34, on the left of the support 2 (seen mounted and in relation to the laterality of the vehicle), providing one or more additional points of impact (s) and shifted to the side from which the shield 6 comes when moving in the event of a collision. This feature is particularly interesting as regards the ability of the support 2 to protect the equipment 3 during a collision on the left side of the vehicle with a wall inclined by 10 °. A horizontal central protection tab 26 comprising a laterally extending portion may also be a device protection means 3, similar to that provided by a vertical and lateral protection tab 34 to the equipment 3.
[0015] The fastening tabs 22 of the support 2 are fixed on each side of the lateral front support 16 via the fixing holes 44 seen above. The laterality characteristics of the support 2 presented here can be reversed, mutatis mutandis, in the case of an embodiment for its installation on the front right side of the vehicle 1.
[0016] A vehicle comprising a support 2 carrying a device 3 according to the invention satisfactorily passes the repairability test, that is to say without degradation of the classification "GDV".
