Abstract

The device has two sensors (20, 22) whose surfaces are covered by a covering (28) that has a protrusion (29) at the level of a detection surface (25) of each sensor. The covering has two flexing zones (30) that are present on both sides of the protrusion to laterally control both sides of a rib, where the protrusion has a widened base (35). The zones are made in the form of low thickness zones of the covering. The two flexing zones (30) are present on both sides of the protrusion so that force parallel to covering surface applied against the protrusion leads to flexion of the covering to transmit vertical bearing force on the surface (25). An independent claim is also included for a dome light of a motor vehicle including a sunroof opening controlling unit having an electrical control device.

Description

La présente invention est relative à un dispositif de commande électrique, notamment pour plafonnier de véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to an electrical control device, in particular for a motor vehicle ceiling lamp.

On connaît des plafonniers, montés sur la paroi de plafond des véhicules automobiles qui comportent, outre les moyens d'éclairage, les moyens de commande de l'éclairage formés d'interrupteurs mécaniques, par exemple à bascule, et éventuellement, les moyens de commande de l'ouverture du toit ouvrant.Ceiling lights are known, mounted on the ceiling wall of motor vehicles, which comprise, in addition to the lighting means, the lighting control means formed by mechanical switches, for example rocker switches, and possibly the control means. opening of the sunroof.

Le toit ouvrant, généralement actionné par un moteur électrique, doit pouvoir être entraîné soit vers une position d'ouverture, soit vers une position de fermeture, ce qui nécessite de former au moins deux contacts électriques distincts, par exemple par un simple interrupteur de va et vient.The sunroof, generally actuated by an electric motor, must be able to be driven to either an open position or a closed position, which requires forming at least two separate electrical contacts, for example by a simple switch of va and come.

Or, si le conducteur souhaite commander seulement une ouverture partielle du toit ouvrant, il est contraint de garder son doigt contre l'interrupteur du plafonnier pour arrêter le moteur d'entrainement lorsque le toit ouvrant arrive dans la position souhaitée d'ouverture partielle.However, if the driver wishes to control only a partial opening of the sunroof, he is forced to keep his finger against the switch of the dome light to stop the drive motor when the sunroof reaches the desired position of partial opening.

Une telle position à bras et main levés est inconfortable pour l'utilisateur De plus, lorsque le véhicule roule à vive allure, une telle commande d'ouverture de toit partielle peut dévier l'attention du conducteur et créer ainsi une situation de circulation dangereuse, d'autant plus que le conducteur teint son volant d'une seule main pendant ce temps là.Such a position with arms and hands raised is uncomfortable for the user Moreover, when the vehicle is running at high speed, such a partial roof opening control can divert the attention of the driver and thus create a dangerous traffic situation, especially since the driver dyes his steering wheel with one hand during this time.

Pour éviter un tel danger, on a pensé à utiliser en particulier pour la commande d'ouverture d'un toit ouvrant ou du rideau solaire du toit ouvrant un dispositif de commande comprenant un capteur présentant une surface matricielle de forme générale allongée en rectangle qui permet de détecter la position d'un appui sur la surface de détection. Le dispositif de commande est en outre doté de moyens de traitement de signaux adaptés qui associent l'appui à un endroit spécifique sur cette surface de détection du capteur à un degrés d'ouverture partielle déterminé du toit ouvrant.To avoid such a danger, it has been thought to use in particular for the opening control of a sunroof or of the sunroof of the sunroof a control device comprising a sensor having a generally elongated rectangular shape of the matrix surface that allows to detect the position of a support on the detection surface. The control device is furthermore provided with suitable signal processing means which associate the support at a specific location on this detection surface of the sensor to a certain partial opening degree of the sunroof.

Toutefois, on note que la surface de détection est montée sur la paroi du plafond et parallèle à celle-ci de sorte que pour effectuer une commande par un simple appui, l'utilisateur doit lever sa main au dessus de sa tête et mettre ses doigts et la paume de sa main à la renverse (on dit aussi que ce mouvement « casse » le poignée à la renverse).However, it is noted that the detection surface is mounted on the wall of the ceiling and parallel to the latter so that to perform a command by a simple support, the user must raise his hand above his head and put his fingers and the palm of his hand to the reverse (it is also said that this movement "breaks" the handle backwards).

Une telle commande se révèle difficile, en particulier pour des personnes de taille plus modeste ou des personnes à mobilité réduite.Such control is difficult, especially for people of modest size or people with reduced mobility.

La présente invention vise à pallier à cet inconvénient en proposant un dispositif de commande électrique à surface plane de détection permettant de manière générale une plus grande liberté de mouvements de commande.The present invention aims to overcome this disadvantage by providing an electrical control device with flat surface detection generally allowing greater freedom of control movements.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de commande électrique, notamment pour plafonnier de véhicule automobile, comprenant d'une part un capteur présentant une surface sensiblement plane de détection d'un appui, ledit capteur étant destiné à générer une commande électrique, par exemple pour la commande d'ouverture d'un toit ouvrant, et d'autre part un revêtement élastique recourvrant ladite surface de détection, caractérisé en ce que ledit revêtement présente au niveau de la surface de détection une protubérance et une zone adjacente de flexion associée à cette protubérance de manière qu'une force parallèle à la surface du revêtement appliquée contre la protubérance conduit à une flexion du revêtement pour transmettre une force verticale d'appui sur ladite surface de détection.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is an electrical control device, in particular for a motor vehicle ceiling lamp, comprising on the one hand a sensor having a substantially flat surface for detecting a support, said sensor being intended to generate a control electrical, for example for the opening control of a sunroof, and secondly an elastic coating recouvrant said detection surface, characterized in that said coating has at the surface of the detection surface a protuberance and an adjacent area flexion associated with this protuberance so that a force parallel to the surface of the coating applied against the protrusion leads to bending of the coating to transmit a vertical bearing force on said detection surface.

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut en outre comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • le capteur est un capteur à surface de détection matricielle transmettant la position de l'appui sur ladite surface de détection,
  • ladite protubérance est une nervure,

  • ladite zone de flexion est une portion en creux parallèle à la nervure,
  • le revêtement présente deux zones de flexion de part et d'autre de la protubérance,
  • la protubérance présente une embase élargie augmentant l'effet de levier lors d'un appui latéral sur la protubérance,
  • le revêtement élastique est réalisé en silicone.
The device according to the invention may further comprise one or more of the following characteristics:
  • the sensor is a sensor with a matrix detection surface transmitting the position of the support on said detection surface,
  • said protuberance is a rib,
  • said bending zone is a zone of smaller thickness of the coating,
  • said bending zone is a recessed portion parallel to the rib,
  • the coating has two bending zones on either side of the protuberance,
  • the protuberance has an enlarged base increasing the leverage effect during a lateral support on the protuberance,
  • the elastic coating is made of silicone.

L'invention a également pour objet un plafonnier pour véhicule automobile, comprenant des moyens de commande d'un toit ouvrant, caractérisé en ce que les moyens de commande du toit ouvrant comprennent un dispositif de commande électrique tel que susmentionné.The invention also relates to a ceiling lamp for a motor vehicle, comprising sunroof control means, characterized in that the sunroof control means comprise an electric control device as mentioned above.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description suivante, donnée à titre d'exemple, sans caractère limitatif, en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est un schéma en perspective d'un plafonier selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue agrandie de dessus du dispositif de commande de la figure 1, et
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe transversale selon la ligne III-III du plafonnier de la figure 1.
Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the following description given by way of example, without limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective diagram of a ceiling lamp according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged view from above of the control device of FIG. 1, and
  • Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view along line III-III of the ceiling lamp of Figure 1.

Un exemple de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention sera décrit par la suite en relation aux figures 1 à 3 annexées.An exemplary non-limiting embodiment of the invention will be described later in relation to Figures 1 to 3 attached.

Sur la figure 1 est représentée un plafonnier 1 pour véhicule automobile selon l'invention.In Figure 1 is shown a ceiling lamp 1 for a motor vehicle according to the invention.

Ce plafonnier 1 se divise en plusieurs parties et comporte une section de commande 3 destinée à la commande de diverses organes du véhicule et, adjacente à cette section 3, un éclairage 5 de l'habitacle. Le plafonnier 1 se prolonge ensuite en direction du pare brise 7 en un pied 9 portant un rétroviseur 11.This ceiling 1 is divided into several parts and comprises a control section 3 for the control of various components of the vehicle and, adjacent to this section 3, a lighting 5 of the passenger compartment. The ceiling lamp 1 then extends towards the windshield 7 in a foot 9 carrying a rearview mirror 11.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 2, la section 3 dispose de plusieurs champs de commande materialisés par des pictogrammes.As seen in Figure 2, section 3 has several control fields materialized by pictograms.

Ainsi, on note d'une part des champs de comande par simple appui 13 pour par exemple des éclairages des places conducteur et passager, le bouton des feux de détresse ou encore l'ouverture totale du toit ouvrant, et d'autre part des champs allongés de commande 15 et 17 permettant respectivement l'ouverture partielle soit du toit ouvrant, soit du rideau de protection solaire associé au toit ouvrant.Thus, we note on the one hand control fields by simple support 13 for example driver and passenger seating lights, the button hazard lights or the total opening of the sunroof, and secondly fields control elongated 15 and 17 respectively allowing the partial opening of either the sunroof or the sun protection curtain associated with the sunroof.

Pour l'invention, on s'intéresse par la suite en particulier aux champs de commande 15 et 17 en dessous desquels sont installées des capteurs 20 et 22 (voir figure 3).For the invention, the following is particularly interested in the control fields 15 and 17 below which sensors 20 and 22 are installed (see FIG. 3).

Chaque capteur 20, 22 possède une surface de détection sensiblement plane 25 d'un appui, dont l'étendue est indiquée sur la figure 2 par des contours en traits pointillés 26, 27.Each sensor 20, 22 has a substantially flat detection surface 25 of a support, the extent of which is indicated in FIG. 2 by dashed lines 26, 27.

Cette surface de détection est destinée à générer une commande électrique lors d'un appui d'un doigt.This detection surface is intended to generate an electrical control during a support of a finger.

De préférence, chaque capteur est un capteur de surface matricielle transmettant non seulement l'appui, mais aussi la position de l'appui sur la surface de détection du capteur.Preferably, each sensor is a matrix surface sensor transmitting not only the support, but also the position of the support on the detection surface of the sensor.

La surface de chaque capteur 20, 22 est recouvert par un revêtement élastique 28, par exemple en silicone.The surface of each sensor 20, 22 is covered by an elastic coating 28, for example silicone.

Comme on montre plus en détail avec le capteur 20, le revêtement 28 présente au niveau de la surface de détection du capteur 20 une protubérance 29.As is shown in more detail with the sensor 20, the coating 28 has a protrusion 29 at the sensing surface of the sensor 20.

Adjacente à cette protubérance 29 se situe une zone 30 de flexion associée à cette protubérance 29.Adjacent to this protuberance 29 is a flexion zone 30 associated with this protuberance 29.

Comme on le montre sur la figure 3, on applique par un doigt 32 une force F1 sensiblement parallèle à la surface du revêtement 28 contre la protubérance 29, ce qui conduit, par une sorte d'effet de levier, à une flexion du revêtement 28 de manière qu'une force F2 perpendiculaire à F1 et verticale par rapport au plan général du revêtement 28 est transmise comme appui sur ladite surface de détection 25.As shown in FIG. 3, a force F 1 is applied by a finger 32 that is substantially parallel to the surface of the coating 28 against the protuberance 29, which leads, by a kind of lever effect, to a bending of the coating 28 so that a force F2 perpendicular to F1 and vertical to the general plane of the coating 28 is transmitted as a support on said detection surface 25.

Avantageusement, la protubérance 29 est une nervure 40 Celle-ci n'est pas nécessairement longitudinale, mais peut également avoir une forme ondulée ou même circulaire pour simuler le fonctionnement d'un bouton rotatif.Advantageously, the protuberance 29 is a rib 40 This is not necessarily longitudinal, but may also have a wavy or even circular shape to simulate the operation of a rotary knob.

La zone 30 de flexion est réalisée sous forme d'une zone de plus faible épaisseur du revêtement 28, par exemple une portion en creux parallèle à la nervure 40, ce qui permet de mieux guider le doigt le long de la nervure.The bending zone 30 is made in the form of a zone of smaller thickness of the coating 28, for example a recessed portion parallel to the rib 40, which makes it possible to better guide the finger along the rib.

Afin de permettre une commande latérale de part et d'autre de la nervure 40, le revêtement présente deux zones 30 de flexion de part et d'autre de la protubérance. Ainsi, aussi bien le conducteur que le passager peut commander de façon aisée le toit ouvrant.In order to allow lateral control on either side of the rib 40, the coating has two zones of flexion on either side of the protuberance. Thus, both the driver and the passenger can easily control the sunroof.

Avantageusement la protubérance présente une embase 35 élargie augmentant ainsi l'effet de levier lors d'un appui latéral sur la protubérance 29.Advantageously, the protuberance has an enlarged base 35 thus increasing the leverage effect during lateral support on the protuberance 29.

On note que par la présente invention, on gagne sensiblement en degrés de liberté pour des mouvements de commande.Note that by the present invention, one gains substantially in degrees of freedom for control movements.

La présente invention a été décite ci-dessus en relation avec un plafonnier d'un véhicule automobile, mais elle s'applique de façon analogue par exemple à des commande de lève - vitres, des commandes d'ouverture de coffres et, en général à tout dispositif de commande électrique permettant la commande d'état intermédiaires.The present invention has been described above in relation to a ceiling lamp of a motor vehicle, but it applies analogously to, for example, window lift controls, chest opening controls and, in general, to any electrical control device for intermediate state control.
