Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Arrangement for a vehicle comprising a tunnel, a fixing element fixed to the tunnel, and a central console fixed to the fixing element. Technical field of the invention
[0001] The invention relates to an arrangement comprising a tunnel, a fastening element attached to the tunnel, and a central console attached to the fastening element. The invention further relates to a vehicle comprising such an arrangement. The invention also relates to a method for assembling such an arrangement. Prior art
[0002] A vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle, generally includes a center console that accommodates, for example, one or more holders for bottles or cups and / or at least one armrest for the driver and / or front passenger. The body of such a vehicle generally includes a longitudinally extending tunnel. Such a tunnel is generally particularly rigid by virtue of its design and / or its points of attachment to the rest of the body. Such a console is generally fixed to the tunnel.
[0003] However, at least one cable or wire, particularly an electrical one, is installed in the center console before assembly. This complicates the assembly of the center console onto the center console, as the cable(s) interfere with securing the console. Indeed, care must be taken to avoid pinching and / or tearing such cables during assembly. This is further complicated when the center console is secured by a longitudinal translational movement. Moreover, since the center console is relatively heavy and / or tall, it must be rigidly fixed to ensure it is properly supported, especially with regard to the perceived quality for the customer. Presentation of the invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide an arrangement that overcomes the above drawbacks. In particular, the invention allows for the easy assembly of a center console onto a tunnel that already has at least one initial wiring harness, while also allowing for the attachment of at least one second wiring harness. Furthermore, the solution is ergonomic and allows the operator responsible for the assembly to ensure that the installation is correct. Summary of the invention
[0005] To achieve this objective, the invention relates to an arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising: - a tunnel extending substantially longitudinally, - a fastening element attached to the tunnel, and - a central console fixed to the fixing element, the fixing element including a clearance extending longitudinally between the fixing element and the tunnel so as to allow the passage of at least one first cable between the fixing element and the tunnel.
[0006] The fixing element may include two lateral surfaces, the central console may include two contact surfaces bearing on the two lateral surfaces, the two lateral surfaces and the two contact surfaces being able to extend substantially in the same longitudinal and transverse plane.
[0007] The fastening element may include two tabs arranged opposite each other, the two tabs being able to extend substantially in a longitudinal and transverse plane, and the central console may include two protrusions, each protrusion being able to bear under each tab to ensure contact between the two lateral surfaces of the fastening element and the two contact surfaces of the central console.
[0008] Each tab may include an end curved or inclined upwards so as to guide the center console in the vertical direction relative to the fixing element during a longitudinal or substantially longitudinal translation of the center console.
[0009] The tunnel may include two threaded rods extending vertically upwards and the fastening element may include two holes to receive each threaded rod, in particular a circular hole and an oblong hole.
[0010] The positions of the axes of the two threaded rods can be offset along the longitudinal direction and the positions of the axes of the two holes can also be offset to cooperate with the two threaded rods so as to prevent incorrect fixing of the fixing element on the tunnel.
[0011] The fastening element may include a light provided on a lateral part of the fastening element extending vertically and longitudinally, in particular near each hole.
[0012] The fastening element may include a receiving means, in particular a hole, for a fastening means for at least a second cable.
[0013] The fastening element can be obtained by cutting and bending and / or stamping a metal sheet.
[0014] The arrangement may include two fixing elements for fixing the center console to the tunnel.
[0015] The invention further relates to a motor vehicle comprising an arrangement as defined above.
[0016] The invention further relates to a method for assembling an arrangement as defined above, the method comprising a supply step: - of a tunnel on which at least one initial cable is installed, extending longitudinally, - a fastening element, and - a central console, followed by a step of attaching the fixing element to the tunnel, the first wiring being located within the recess of the fixing element, followed by a step of positioning the central console relative to the fixing element by a substantially longitudinal translation of the central console, followed by a step of attaching the center console to the mounting element.

[0026] The direction in which a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, moves in a straight line is defined as the longitudinal direction X. By By convention, the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, located in a plane parallel to the ground, is called the transverse direction Y. The third direction, perpendicular to the other two, is called the vertical direction Z. Thus, we use a right-handed coordinate system XYZ in which X is the longitudinal direction in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, therefore directed towards the rear, Y is the transverse direction directed to the right, and Z is the vertical direction directed upwards. The forward direction corresponds to the direction in which the vehicle usually moves in the longitudinal direction and is opposite to the backward direction.
[0027] As illustrated in [Fig. 1], a vehicle 1, in particular a motor vehicle, comprises a body 10. The body 10 includes a tunnel 3 extending longitudinally or substantially longitudinally. By tunnel, also called a transmission tunnel, is meant a part of the body, preferably a central part, that is to say, extending substantially symmetrically with respect to a vertical and longitudinal median plane. The tunnel extends at the level of a floor and has a convex or inverted U-shape, so as to provide space under the floor, for example, for the passage of cables and / or piping and / or a drive shaft. The body 10 preferably includes a floor 9, and the tunnel 3 is fixed to the floor 9, or forms part of the floor 9.
[0028] The vehicle 1, or the crate 10, includes an arrangement 2 illustrated in [Fig.2].
[0029] Arrangement 2 includes tunnel 3. Arrangement 2 also includes at least A fastening element 5. For example, two fastening elements 5 are provided. The fastening element 5 is fixed to the tunnel 3, preferably on the tunnel 3. Thus, preferably, the fastening element 5 is fixed directly to the tunnel 3. Preferably, a lower surface of the fastening element 5 comes into contact with an upper surface of the tunnel 3, for example, flat or substantially flat surfaces, so as to obtain a substantial contact area. In other words, no other part is sandwiched between the fastening element 5 and the tunnel 3.
[0030] Alternatively, an interface piece can be arranged between the fixing element and the tunnel (not illustrated embodiment).
[0031] The arrangement 2 further includes a center console 4. The center console 4 includes, for example, or accommodates, one or more holders for a glass, cup, or bottle. Alternatively, or in addition, the center console 4 includes a center armrest, or even two center armrests, for example, one for the driver of vehicle 1 and one for the front passenger. Optionally, the center console extends to the level of a gearshift lever and / or to a dashboard. The center console 4 is attached to the mounting element 5 as will be described later.
[0032] The fastening element 5 includes a clearance 6 extending longitudinally between the fixing element 5 and the tunnel 3. As illustrated in figures 6 and 7, the clearance 6, or passage, or obviously, or cavity allows the passage of at least one first cable 7 between the fixing element 5 and the tunnel 3.
[0033] As illustrated in particular in [Fig. 4], the fastening element 5 comprises two lateral surfaces 51. The two lateral surfaces 51 extend, or substantially extend, in the same longitudinal and transverse plane PI illustrated in [Fig. 2]. Each lateral surface 51 is preferably located at the highest points of the fastening element 5.
[0034] As illustrated in [Fig. 3], the center console 4 comprises a contact surface 41 opposite a lateral surface 51 of the fastening element 5. The two contact surfaces 41 then extend, or substantially extend, in the same longitudinal and transverse plane PL. In other words, the two contact surfaces 41 bear against, come into contact with, and touch on the two lateral surfaces 51. Thus, the weight, in particular, of the center console 4 is at least partially supported by the contact between the contact surfaces 41 and the lateral surfaces 51. In addition to this at least partial weight transfer of the console 4, the contacts between the surfaces 41 of the console and the surfaces 51 of the fastening element 5 ensure optimal positioning of the console along the vertical direction Z.
[0035] As illustrated in Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, the fastening element 5 further comprises two tabs, or protrusions 52 arranged opposite each other. Each tab 52 extends, or substantially extends, in a longitudinal and transverse plane P2, illustrated in [Fig. 2]. The center console 4 includes two protrusions, or projections 42, illustrated in Figures 2 and 3. Each protrusion 42 bears against each tab 52 of the fixing element 5 once the console is assembled with the fixing element 5. Thus, to ensure contact between the two lateral surfaces 51 of the fixing element 5 and the two contact surfaces 41 of the center console 4, each protrusion 42 cooperates with, below, each tab 52. As a result, the contact surfaces 41 are pressed against the corresponding lateral surfaces 51 due to this cooperation between the protrusions 42 and the tabs 52, as illustrated in particular in [Fig. 3].
[0036] Advantageously, each tab 52 comprises an end 53 particularly visible in Figures 2, 3 and 7. Each end 53 is curved and / or inclined, preferably upwards. Thus, each end or beak 53 guides, steers, in the vertical direction, the central console 4 relative to the fastening element 5 during a longitudinal, or substantially longitudinal, translation of the central console 4.
[0037] As illustrated in particular in Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8, the tunnel 3 comprises two threaded rods 31, 32. Preferably, the threaded rods extend vertically upwards. For example, these two threaded rods are attached to the tunnel, for example by welding. Alternatively, two screws pass through the tunnel by being brought under the tunnel, for example by being welded, and extend vertically to form these two threaded rods.
[0038] As illustrated in particular in [Fig. 5], the fastening element 5 further includes two holes 54, 55 for the passage of each threaded rod 31, 32. Preferably, one of the holes (for example, 54) is circular while the other hole (for example, 55) is oblong, for example with a major axis extending transversely or substantially transversely. In this case, even if there is some variation in the fastening of the threaded rods 31, 32 and / or in the center-to-center spacing of the holes 54, 55 of the fastening element, the fitting of the fastening element 5 onto the threaded rods 31, 32 of the tunnel 3 via the holes 54, 55 remains possible and easy.
[0039] Preferably, as illustrated in [Fig. 5], the positions of the axes A31, A32, respectively of the two threaded rods 31, 32, are offset along the longitudinal direction X by a gap D. In this case, the positions of the axes of the two corresponding holes 54, 55 are also offset to cooperate with the two threaded rods 31, 32. Thanks to this offset D, for example of a few mm, incorrect fixing or assembly of the fixing element 5 on the tunnel 3 is avoided.
[0040] As illustrated in particular in [Fig. 7], the fastening element 5 comprises two lateral parts or sides 57 extending substantially in vertical and longitudinal planes on each side of the element 5. The element 5 preferably comprises a slot 56 formed on each lateral part 57 extending vertically and longitudinally. Preferably, each slot 56 is formed near a hole 54, 55.
[0041] Preferably, as illustrated in Figures 5 and 8, the fastening element 5 comprises a receiving means 58 for a fastening means 80 for at least a second cable 8. For example, this receiving means is a hole, for example oblong or circular. Preferably, the fastening means 80 is of the clip or hook type, for example made of plastic, for example with a serrated portion to cooperate with the hole 58.
[0042] Advantageously, the fastening element 5 is obtained by cutting and / or bending and / or stamping a metal sheet. A metal sheet is understood to be a plate in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the other two dimensions. For example, the thickness of such a plate or sheet is between 1.5 mm and 3.5 mm. Preferably, the thickness is on the order of 2.5 mm to ensure high rigidity. In addition to the thickness, as illustrated in Figures 7 and 8, the element 5 preferably includes folded edges 59 which further contribute to its rigidity.
[0043] Preferably, the arrangement 2 includes two fixing elements 5, as illustrated in [Fig.1], or even more, for fixing the center console 4 to the tunnel 3.
[0044] An execution method for assembling the arrangement will now be described.
[0045] Initially, the method comprises a step of supplying the tunnel 3 onto which a first cable 7 is arranged, extending longitudinally. For example, the first cable is fixed via one or more clips to, or on, the tunnel. The supply step further comprises supplying the fastening element 5 and the central console.
[0046] Preferably, a positioning step is then carried out for the fastening element 5 relative to the tunnel 3. This positioning step is performed by ensuring that the first cable 7 is positioned, arranged, and placed within the recess 6 of the fastening element 5. In other words, the recess 6 of the fastening element 5 forms a bridge, spanning the cable 7 without pinching or any subsequent possible damage to the cable. Thus, the cable 7 extends between the two threaded rods 31, 32. As a reminder, preferably, the offset D in the longitudinal direction between the two holes 54, 55 prevents any incorrect assembly. Thus, despite the symmetry of the fastening element 5 with respect to a vertical and longitudinal plane (except for the fact that hole 54 is circular and hole 55 is oblong), this offset D prevents operator error and facilitates the task.In addition, for example, an arrow indicating the front of the vehicle is engraved and affixed to the upper surface of the fastener to allow for quick pre-positioning of the fastener.
[0047] This positioning step is preferably achieved by aligning the threaded rods 31, 32 extending from the tunnel 3 with the holes 54, 55 provided in the fastener 5. As a reminder, preferably at least one of the two holes is oblong to allow for optimal positioning, even in the event of significant variations in the tunnel and / or the positioning of the threaded rods. The fastener 5 is then fixed to the tunnel 3, preferably by tightening nuts suitable for each threaded rod. Optionally, a washer is placed between the fastener 5 and each nut to increase the bearing surface on one upper face of the fastener.
[0048] Once the fastening element is in place and secured, the center console 4 is positioned relative to the fastening element 5. This positioning step is carried out by a translation, notably a substantial longitudinal translation, of the center console 4. More precisely, the translation of the console aims to ensure that the protrusions 42 of the console are inserted, inserted, under each tab 52 of the fastening element. To facilitate this translation, in particular positioning in the vertical direction, the ends 53 of the tabs 52 extend upwards and backwards when translating to raise the console forwards. This is notably illustrated in [Fig. 3].
[0049] Next, the center console 4 is fixed to the fixing element 5. Preferably, a screw is used on each side of the console, so that the screws extend substantially transversely, first passing through a hole 40 in the console 4 and then through a hole 50 in the fixing element 5, as illustrated in [Fig. 2]. Advantageously, self-tapping screws designed for steel are used if the fixing element 5 is made of steel, so that tightening them also creates a thread in the hole 50 of the fixing element.
[0050] In summary, the fastening element 5 of the arrangement 2 provides a positioning and fastening interface for the center console 4 on the tunnel 3, while also being compatible with the console mounting method, which includes a final translation, preferably forward, substantially along the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, the arrangement is compatible with at least one initial wiring harness 7 mounted on the tunnel, i.e., arranged on the vehicle floor 9, before the console reaches the tunnel during the mounting process. Thus, the fastening element allows the passage of at least one initial wiring harness 7 between the tunnel and the fastening element itself. As previously mentioned, the fastening element 5 has a bridge-shaped cross-section, substantially omega-shaped, with each leg of the omega allowing the fastening element 5 to be attached to the tunnel 3.The omega-shaped cavity in the section allows the mounting bracket to be attached to the tunnel even when wiring is already installed. The bracket spans the existing wiring on or within the tunnel without crushing or pinching it. The integrity of the wiring, such as electrical cables, which are fragile and carry critical information, is preserved. In other words, this solution allows the console to be installed even when the interior wiring is already in place on the floor. The bracket extends over the electrical wire(s), for example, the wiring for a control unit for one or more airbags, such as AIRBAG (Registered Trademark).
[0051] The fastening element provides a reference frame, particularly in the vertical direction, via its two lateral surfaces 51. Preferably, the two lateral surfaces 51 extend in the same transverse and longitudinal plane PI (see [Fig. 2]). Thus, the contact surfaces 41 of the bracket 4 are perfectly positioned in the vertical direction when they are in contact with the lateral surfaces 51 of the fastening element, which ensures optimal positioning of the bracket in the vertical direction.
[0052] Furthermore, the tab-type fastening element 5, equipped with two tabs 52, each comprising an end or drain 53, facilitates the insertion of the bracket under each tab during a translation from rear to front. In addition, the The presence of the tabs 52 contributes to strengthening the bracket / fastening element assembly, for example by being dimensioned to generate a pre-stress aimed at pressing the surfaces 41 against the respective surfaces 51. This generates rigidity and contributes to a reliable and durable assembly.
[0053] As mentioned, the fastening element also allows the bracket to be fixed. To this end, two fastening areas or lateral parts 57 extend substantially in vertical and longitudinal planes. In other words, two sides 57 of the bracket 5, illustrated in particular in [Fig. 4], ensure positioning along the transverse direction by contact of the bracket 4 against these sides 57.
[0054] It should be noted that the side openings 56 provided in the sides 57 facilitate assembly for the operator. More specifically, it must be understood that the operator is outside the vehicle's passenger compartment during these assembly phases. Thus, when the operator has positioned the fastening element 5 on the tunnel, they need to see the threaded rods 31, 32 to proceed with tightening the appropriate nuts in the vertical direction, from top to bottom. Indeed, when the operator is on the right side of the vehicle, they can see the threaded rod 32 thanks to the right-hand opening 56 provided in the right-hand side 57 (perspective view of [Fig. 7], for example).The operator can then easily grasp the nut and the appropriate tool, for example, a socket, or a magnetic socket to prevent the nut from falling when approaching the threaded rod, and proceed to tighten it while simultaneously checking through the light 56 that the nut is correctly screwing onto the threaded rod 32. When the operator is on the left side of the vehicle, they can see the threaded rod 31 through the left-hand opening in the left side panel (approximately the perspective view in [Fig. 8]). Indeed, when the operator is on the right side of the vehicle, due to perspective and the absence of an opening in the side panel 57, they only see the threaded rod 31, and when the operator is on the left side of the vehicle, due to perspective and the absence of an opening in the side panel 57, they only see the threaded rod 32.Thus, thanks to the windows 56, the operator has easy visibility to tighten the nuts that secure the fastener 5 to the tunnel 3 while positioned outside the vehicle, either on the right or left, and / or to check that the nuts are correctly tightened. Therefore, there is no need to go around the vehicle to tighten the threaded rods 31, 32 and / or to check that they are tightened.
[0055] As mentioned previously, the lug 5 is preferably symmetrical with respect to a vertical and longitudinal plane, except for holes 54 and 55. Indeed, firstly, preferably only one of the two holes is oblong. As a reminder, the presence of at least one oblong hole allows for the correction, if necessary, of manufacturing and / or assembly variations, particularly in the tunnel, notably the center-to-center distance for fixing the threaded rods to the tunnel. Secondly, an offset D along the longitudinal direction (see [Fig. 5]) is provided between the axes A31, A32 of the two threaded rods and the two corresponding holes 54, 55. This gap D creates a keying feature for the operator since it prevents any reverse assembly, i.e., a fastening element with its tabs 52 and drain holes 53 arranged towards the front of the vehicle. As seen previously, for example, an engraving, molding, or marking of an arrow pointing towards the front of the vehicle on an upper face of the element 5 also helps the operator to quickly position it in the correct orientation (see Figures 4 to 8).
[0056] For example, as illustrated in Figures 5 and 8, cables 8, for example of the electrical wire type, connect, for example, a radio located in the dashboard to a terminal block, such as a plug or USB socket, located in the center console. For example, the receiving means 58, preferably of the hole type, provided near one of the sides 57, easily allows the second wiring 8 to be attached by inserting a fastening means 80, for example of the clip type, into the hole 58.
[0057] For example, a first mounting element is used at the front and a second mounting element 5 is used further back. This results in a more rigid assembly of the console on the tunnel. The grooves on each mounting element help to guide and facilitate the insertion of the center console into the desired position.
[0058] Alternatively, the solution can be used to secure and facilitate the routing of electrical wires under or near a vehicle part, for example, high-voltage power wires in the case of an electric or hybrid vehicle. Alternatively, the solution can be used to secure and facilitate the routing of a fuel supply hose and / or a brake fluid line under or near a vehicle part.
[0059] Although the fastening element is preferably obtained in a metallic material, it can alternatively be obtained in polymer and / or composite materials.
[0060] In summary, the arrangement allows an interface of the central console 4 on the tunnel 3 compatible with the routing of the wiring, in particular related to the functionalities present in the passenger compartment, and compatible with the assembly process of the console.
[0061] The solution allows the console to be fixed reliably, durably, and robustly. It is therefore compatible with a heavy and / or tall console requiring a very robust anchoring at its base and / or needing to withstand pressure from a passenger and / or vehicle occupants, and / or transported loads coming into contact with it. The transfer of vertical forces by the contact surfaces 41, 51 contributes to this rigidity. As a reminder, the fixing element is particularly rigid, especially if it has folded edges 59. The rigid, play-free fixing of the console reinforces the perceived quality criterion for the customer.
[0062] The presence of cables or wires prior to mounting the center console on the body containing the tunnel does not pose any problem. On the contrary, thanks to the fastening element 5, the assembly is easier and more ergonomic. Furthermore, any risk of pinching and / or pulling out cables during the assembly of the center console on the tunnel is avoided, even though the center console is fixed by a longitudinal translational movement.
[0063] As a note, the solution therefore achieves the objective sought of ensuring easy mounting of the central console on the tunnel without risk to the existing wiring, and has the advantage of being able to be adapted for a utility vehicle, or even a truck, a bus, a coach, an agricultural vehicle, a lifting machine or any other machine.
