Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mechanical module for a key of a vehicle and a key provided with such a module.
  • Vehicle keys are generally known. They are intended for example to lock or unlock the opening of the vehicle, for example doors, control a tailgate, a lock and / or a starter of the vehicle.
  • vehicle keys are known, in particular according to the French patent application FR 2 815 521 A1 , which comprise a key body and a bit mounted on said key body so as to be able to pivot about an axis of rotation, on the one hand, between a position of use, and on the other hand, a storage position
  • the body of the key forms a housing for electronic means remote control locking means of the opening of the vehicle.
  • the body of the key may have various shapes depending in particular on the desired aesthetic effect.
  • a disadvantage of such keys is the need to provide reinforcing elements to ensure that the bit remains in its position of use despite the fact that a considerable mechanical force is applied, for example the weight a key ring when the key is positioned in the car's starter barrel.
  • the present invention is intended in particular to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art, particularly those mentioned above, and also aims to provide a mechanical module for a vehicle key and a key that allows realize the vehicle key inexpensively, of very small size, and robustly.
  • a mechanical key module comprising a key body and a bit mounted on the key body so as to be able to pivot about an axis of rotation between a position of use. and a storage position
  • the mechanical module being of the type comprising a pivoting support, carrying the bit and cooperating with a control button
  • the control button comprising a first mechanical means of immobilization in rotation capable of cooperating with a second mechanical means immobilization in rotation of a body member of the key body
  • the control knob being capable of being positioned in a normal position and in a depressed position parallel to the axis of rotation
  • the first cooperating mechanical means with the second mechanical means at least four places around the axis of rotation when the control knob is in its normal position.
  • a force that tends to pivot the bit when the control knob is in its normal position can be absorbed at at least four locations around the axis of rotation which provides increased strength of immobilization in rotation between the bit on the one hand and the key body on the other hand when the button is not pressed.
  • a preferred improvement of the invention lies in the fact that the second mechanical means of immobilization in rotation is positioned around an opening of the housing element.
  • the vehicle key it is advantageously possible for the vehicle key to be made in a very small size, in particular for the mechanical module.
  • Another preferred development of the invention lies in the fact that the second mechanical means for immobilizing the housing element in rotation is provided in an integrated manner with the housing element, and comprising in particular the same material as the element. of housing.
  • control button is biased resiliently parallel to the axis of rotation towards its normal position.
  • control button comprises a third mechanical means for axial guidance and immobilization in rotation of the control knob relative to the pivoting support
  • the pivoting support comprises a fourth means. mechanical axial guide and immobilization in rotation of the control knob relative to the pivoting support.
  • third and fourth mechanical means comprise at least one integral slider of the control knob cooperating with a complementary groove formed in the pivoting support.
  • the module comprises means for limiting the axial stroke of the control button parallel to the axis of rotation.
  • the present invention also relates to a key, in particular a vehicle key, the key comprising a mechanical module according to the present invention.
  • the Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings show a key 1 according to the present invention.
  • This key 1 is intended for example to lock or unlock the opening of the vehicle, control a lock and a starter of the vehicle, etc.
  • the key 1 comprises a key body 2, generally clevis-shaped, comprising at least one housing element 21 of the key body 2, the housing element 21 preferably being molded in one piece.
  • Key body 2 includes an electronic module and a mechanical module.
  • the electronic module comprises conventional electronic means intended for example to remote control means for locking the doors of the vehicle or identification means of a user who is authorized to use the vehicle.
  • the mechanical module illustrated in more detail through the Figures 3 to 5 , comprises a pivoting support 41 carrying a bit 3, of generally flat shape, also called insert.
  • This bit 3 is fixed on the pivoting support 41, in particular in a recess 38, using conventional means, for example by keying by means of a pin 37 (see in particular the figure 4 ).
  • the pivoting support 41 is intended to be articulated on the key body 2 so as to allow the bit 30 to move between a storage position, as illustrated in particular on FIG. figure 1 , and a position of use, as illustrated in particular on the figure 2 .
  • the pivoting support 41 is provided with a recess, of generally cylindrical shape, coaxial with an imaginary axis of rotation (or pivoting) 4 of the pivoting support 41 and the bit 3 relative to the key body 2.
  • the recess is intended to receive a control button 31 controlling the movement of the bit 3 relative to the key body 2.
  • the control knob 31 is able to be positioned on the one hand in a normal position and on the other hand in a position driven parallel to the axis of rotation 4.
  • control button 31 The normal position of the control button 31 is illustrated in the Figures 1 and 2 which show the positions of storage and use of the bit 3.
  • the control button 31 is depressed (by a translation movement parallel to the axis of rotation 4) to allow the blade 3 to pivot from its storage position to its position of use or vice versa.
  • the control button 31 comprises a first mechanical means of immobilization in rotation capable of cooperating with a second mechanical means of immobilization in rotation of the housing element 21 of the key body 2.
  • the first mechanical immobilization element in rotation comprises two first projections 33 and two second projections 34.
  • the second mechanical immobilization element in rotation comprises two first notches 23 and two second notches 24 formed in the body element 21 of the body 2 key, in particular at a peripheral location (that is to say around) an opening 22 of the housing element 21.
  • the control button 31 is intended to pass at least partially through the opening 22 of the housing member 21 from an inner surface of the housing member 21 which is partially shown by the figure 3 . From the outer surface of the housing member 21, only the bearing area of the control knob 31 is visible (as shown in FIGS. Figures 1 and 2 ).
  • the first mechanical means 33, 34 and the second mechanical means 23, 24 cooperate by interlocking so as to immobilize in rotation the control knob 31 with the housing element 21.
  • control button 31 comprises a third mechanical means 32 for axial guidance and immobilization in rotation of the control knob 31 relative to the pivoting support 41, and that the pivoting support 41 comprises a fourth mechanical means 42 for axial guidance and immobilizing the control knob 31 in rotation relative to the pivoting support 41.
  • the third and fourth mechanical means 32, 42 preferably comprise at least one slide 32 secured to the control knob 31 which cooperates with a complementary groove 42 formed in the pivoting support 41.
  • first mechanical means 33, 34 and the second mechanical means 23, 24 comprise at least four pairs of complementary projections and notches, it is advantageously possible for the first and second mechanical means to retain a large force which tends to to pivot the bit relative to the body 2 of the key 1.
