Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling the exterior opening of a motor vehicle door.
  • the invention relates more particularly but not exclusively to such a control device which combines an electric actuator and a mechanical actuator, capable of triggering the opening of a lock of the door of the motor vehicle.
  • control device comprises an operating pallet (or gripping handle) which is mounted articulated with respect to a body panel of the opening, inside a casing.
  • This box is generally housed inside a cutout provided for this purpose in the body panel.
  • a current trend is to allow the opening of the opening by means of an electric actuator, itself triggered manually, for example by light pressure, a simple touch or detection of a close presence of a user in a predefined zone of the control device, generally a non-visible inner face of the maneuvering pallet.
  • an electrical unlocking command with a view to opening the opening of the vehicle is generated intended for the main control unit of the vehicle.
  • the opening control device also allows mechanical opening in the event of an electrical failure.
  • the opening of the mechanical actuator is for example achieved by applying a substantially higher actuating force to the maneuvering pallet, then causing the mechanical release of the sash by actuation of a transmission assembly, for example a rod connected to the lock.
  • Such a control device is known in particular from the prior art, and in particular from the publication of the international application WO2021/009294A1 .
  • opening control device allows particularly intuitive operation of the latter because the motorist who wishes to open the opening of the vehicle proceeds in the same pulling movement, first of all with an attempt to electrically unlock the lock mechanism associated with the pallet by manually triggering the electric actuator located in an interior gripping zone of the pallet, then, only in the event of failure to open the leaf, by exerting a tensile force of intensity higher on the handle. It then causes, without changing movement, the opening of the door by exerting on the pallet a traction force oriented upwards which leads to the pivoting of the pallet and the mechanical actuation of the lock.
  • this device has the drawback of having a relatively complex structure with in particular a large number of parts to be assembled together.
  • gripping the pallet is also poorly optimized from an ergonomic point of view because it requires an amplitude of twisting of the user's wrist when the latter has recourse to the mechanical actuation of the lock of the opening.
  • the present invention aims to further improve the external opening control devices of the type considered.
  • the object of the invention is in particular to propose a device for controlling exterior opening that is more ergonomic, simpler to assemble while offering new perspectives in the style of the vehicle.
  • a main objective of the invention is to provide a mechanism whose actuation remains simple and natural for the user.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a sash opening mechanism having a structure which remains relatively simple, with reliable operation.
  • the subject of the invention is a device for controlling the exterior opening of a motor vehicle door, comprising a support, a gripping handle mounted pivoting with respect to the support, a lever for actuating a lock of the sash configured to cooperate with an extension element of the handle extending transversely with respect to a longitudinal direction of the handle from an internal face of the handle, characterized in that the lever is mounted so as to be movable on an axis d articulation of the support against an elastic return member between a first rest configuration of the member in which it extends through a path of the extension element to generate a force resisting the pivoting of the handle and a second configuration for actuating the lock in which it is driven in rotation around said axis by the extension element during the pivoting of the handle after having overcome the resistant force.
  • the present invention thus makes it possible to oppose effectively and simply the mechanical opening of the handle during its electrical actuation on an internal face of the handle.
  • the actuating lever otherwise referred to below as a return lever, is thus particularly practical and compact since it has a dual function.
  • the lever may comprise one end fixed to the end of a cable, the traction of which causes the actuation of the lock of the opening.
  • the handle is extended transversely towards the inside of the opening of the vehicle by a branch, forming the extension element or plunger, integral with it or attached integrally.
  • the inner branch therefore pivots around the pivot axis of the handle with the rest of the handle and describes an outward opening path.
  • the lever acts as a stop piece which is interposed on the path of the extension element of the handle during the deployment of the latter.

  • the housing body 40 forming the support 26 is attached by quick coupling means 70 to the panel 14 of the opening 12.
  • the panel 14 of opening 12 has a plurality of snap-in or interlocking projections 72 on the periphery of its cutout 16 and the housing body 40 comprises a plurality of complementary cavities 74 arranged on the peripheral edge of the front face of the housing 40.
  • the projections 72 and the complementary cavities 74 form in this example the quick coupling means 70.
  • other quick coupling means can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • These quick coupling means of the two parts advantageously make it possible to position the two parts relatively to each other before fixing them together by conventional fixing means. This allows easy, fast and precise positioning of the support 26 when it is mounted on the sash panel 14.
  • the housing body 40 is secured to the panel 14 by conventional fixing means such as screws and fixing holes.
  • the opening 12 laterally has an orifice 79 configured to allow access to the fixing of the screws 76 and 78 ( figure 9 ).
  • This orifice 79 is for example made accessible by a side wall 15 of the opening 12 during the opening of the opening 12.
  • the trim shell 52 and the support 26 are preferably shaped to fit one inside the other as shown in the figure 12 .
  • the shell 52 is shaped to cover the recess 50, the handle 22 and the shell 52 being configured to cooperate together so that the shell 52 cannot be extracted from the support 26 after assembly or installation of the handle 22 on the support 26 in its final mounting destination position.
  • the cavity 48 of the support 26 is configured to impose on the shell 52 an intermediate assembly and/or disassembly position passing through a final location of the handle 22 in the cavity 48 of the support 26.
  • the shell 52 reaches an intermediate mounting position passing through the first part of the body of the housing 40 intended to receive the handle 22. Consequently, once the handle 22 is positioned in the cavity 48, the shell 52 cannot be removed without crossing the handle 22 reception location which is then made impassable by the handle 22.
  • the cavity 48 and the shell 52 are shaped to prevent the positioning of the shell 52 in a transverse direction of interlocking inside the cavity 48 directly in a final destination position of the shell 52.
  • the intermediate mounting position (shown in dotted lines) is a vertically superior position with respect to the final destination position of the shell 52 in the support 26 (mode A) or else is an inclined position with respect to the final destination position of the hull 52 (mode B) or a combination of these two intermediate positions.
  • Such an external opening control device 20 reduces the number of parts to be supplied, handled and mounted.
