Description

Title of the invention: Arrangement of a removable hood covering an engine compartment Technical field of the invention

[0001] The invention relates to an arrangement for a motor vehicle comprising an engine compartment, a left-hand lighting device, a right-hand lighting device, and a removable hood covering the engine compartment. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising such an arrangement, in particular to a front face of a motor vehicle comprising such an arrangement. State of the prior art

[0002] Motor vehicles are generally provided with an engine compartment housing a powertrain of the vehicle. The engine compartment is a technical volume of the vehicle in which various functional parts of the vehicle are also located, such as a battery and / or fluid reservoirs. The engine compartment must remain easily accessible so as to allow any person to carry out standard maintenance operations such as recharging or replacing the battery and / or topping up the fluids in the various reservoirs.

[0003] To provide access to the engine compartment, motor vehicles are generally equipped with a movable hood that rotates about a transverse axis of the vehicle between an open position and a closed position. The transverse axis is generally positioned below the windshield. The rotation of the hood about the transverse axis is sometimes insufficient and the user does not benefit from clear access to the engine compartment.

[0004] Furthermore, the hood is generally pivotally hinged by means of hinges arranged at the two lateral ends of the hood. Hinges are heavy, complex, fragile and bulky devices. In particular, hinges hinder the integration of other components in the engine compartment. In particular, the integration of hinges is generally incompatible with a design of the motor vehicle in which lighting devices are positioned relatively high on the front face, at the lateral ends of the hood. In addition, the hinges can form obstacles which hinder the movements of a user carrying out a maintenance operation in the engine compartment.

[0005] Finally, the hoods known from the state of the art are generally held in the open position by means of balancers which are also devices bulky, heavy, and potentially hindering intervention in the engine compartment.

[0006] Access to the engine compartment of such motor vehicles for maintenance operations is thus inconvenient. Presentation of the invention

[0007] The object of the invention is to provide an arrangement for a motor vehicle which overcomes the above drawbacks and improves the arrangements for motor vehicles known from the prior art.

[0030] [Fig. 1] schematically illustrates a motor vehicle according to one embodiment of the invention. The vehicle 1 may in particular be a private vehicle, a utility vehicle, a truck or even a bus.

[0031] In this document, the X axis designates the longitudinal axis of the vehicle 1. When moving forward and in a straight line, the vehicle 1 moves from the rear to the front in a direction parallel to its longitudinal axis. The X axis is oriented from the front to the rear of the vehicle, that is to say in the direction of reverse travel. The Y axis designates the transverse axis of the vehicle. The Y axis is oriented from left to right, left and right being defined according to the point of view of a driver of the vehicle. The Z axis designates the axis perpendicular to the X axis and the Y axis. The vehicle is considered to be resting on horizontal ground. The Z axis is a vertical axis, oriented from bottom to top. The X, Y and Z axes form an orthogonal reference frame. This same reference frame, defined with reference to a vehicle, will also be used to describe an arrangement of the vehicle, even considered outside the vehicle, since it is intended for mounting according to a specific orientation in the vehicle.

[0032] The vehicle 1 comprises a windshield 2 and a front face 3 extending to the front of the vehicle, below the windshield 2. The front face 3 also extends to the front of a engine compartment 4 (visible in [Fig.4]) housing a vehicle powertrain as well as various functional components. In particular, the engine compartment may accommodate a battery, in particular a 12-volt battery, and / or fluid reservoirs, in particular reservoirs for windshield washer fluid, and / or for coolant, and / or for brake fluid and / or for lubricating oil.

[0033] According to the embodiment presented, the vehicle 1 comprises a particular arrangement of its front face 3. The invention could nevertheless be applied to a rear face of a motor vehicle.

[0034] To make the engine compartment 4 accessible for maintenance operations, the front face 3 comprises a removable hood 5. By "removable" is meant that the hood 5 is movable so as to provide access to the engine compartment for vehicle maintenance. The hood 5 constitutes a sort of easily manipulated door for accessing the engine compartment. The hood 5 comprises an external face visible from the outside of the vehicle and contributing to the aesthetics of the vehicle. The hood 5 may, for example, carry a central luminous device and / or a vehicle brand or model logo.

[0035] The vehicle 1 further comprises a left lighting device 6G and a right lighting device 6D. The lighting devices 6G, 6D may for example be lighting devices intended to produce a position light. Alternatively, these lighting devices could be configured to produce a different lighting function, for example a lighting function such as for example dipped beam headlights and / or main beam headlights. The lighting devices 6G, 6D are positioned respectively at a left wing and a right wing of the vehicle. The hood 5 extends between the two lighting devices 6G, 6D. The hood 5 comprises a left side extending opposite the left lighting device 6G, in particular opposite a right side of the left lighting device 6G. Likewise, the cover 5 comprises a right side extending opposite the right lighting device 6G, in particular opposite a left side of the right lighting device 6G.

[0036] The cover 5 may comprise a height along the Z axis and / or a depth along the longitudinal X axis close to the height and / or the depth of the light devices 6G, 6D.

[0037] The front face 3 further comprises a trim 7 positioned below the hood 5 and lighting devices 6G and 6D. The front face 3 also comprises a shield 8 below the trim 7. As shown in [Fig.l], the shield 8 may optionally integrate secondary lighting devices 9G, 9D.

[0038] To access the engine compartment 4, the hood 5 is arranged so that it can be completely removed from the vehicle. The hood 5 can thus be completely detached of the vehicle. In particular, the hood 5 is intended to be put in place and removed from the vehicle by a translational movement substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X. By "substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X" it is understood that the translational movement of the hood can follow a direction forming an angle less than or equal to 45°, preferably less than or equal to 30°, with the longitudinal axis X. More preferably, the putting in place or the removal of the hood 5 is carried out by a movement parallel to the longitudinal axis X and to the vertical axis Z. The hood 5 is said to be "in the closed position" or "in the closing position" when it is in place to close the engine compartment 4.

[0039] The left lighting device 6G and the right lighting device 6D respectively comprise at least one left slide 11G, 12G and at least one right slide 11D, 12D. In this case, each lighting device 6G, 6D comprises two slides 11G and 12G and respectively 11D and 12D. However, according to alternative embodiments, each lighting device 6G, 6D could comprise only one slide or at least three slides, or even more slides.

[0040] The left side and the right side of the cover 5 respectively comprise at least one left slider 13G, 14G and at least one right slider 13D, 14D. In this case, each left or right side of the cover 5 comprises two sliders 13G and 14G and respectively 13D and 14D. Alternatively, each side of the cover could comprise a different number of sliders corresponding to the number of slides of the corresponding lighting device. Advantageously, the sliders and sliders are arranged symmetrically on each side of the cover 5.

[0041] The two left sliders 13G, 14G cooperate with the two left slides 11G, 12G. Similarly, the two right sliders 13D, 14D cooperate with the two right slides 11D, 12D. The cooperation of the slides 11G, 12G, 11D, 12D with the sliders 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D makes it possible on the one hand to guide the movement of the hood according to a translational movement substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the vehicle when the hood is put in place or when the hood is removed. On the other hand, the cooperation of the slides 11G, 12G, 11D, 12D with the slides 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D makes it possible to support at least part of the weight of the hood when it is in the closing position of the engine compartment 4.

[0042] The slides 1 IG, 12G may be formed in a wall of a housing of the lighting device 6G. Similarly, the slides 11D, 12D may be formed in a wall of a housing of the lighting device 6D. The slides 1 IG, 12G and respectively 11D, 12D may form a single-piece assembly with the left lighting device 6G and respectively the right lighting device 6D. The slides 1 IG and 12G, and respectively 11D and 12D may be made of plastic and they can be molded with at least one wall of a housing of the 6G and 6D light devices respectively.

[0043] The left slides 1 IG, 12G and the left slides 13G, 14G are now described more specifically, the design of the right slides and right slides being symmetrically identical.

[0044] [Fig.2] schematically illustrates the cover 5 and the light device 6G during the installation of the hood. An arrow Fl represents the translational movement of the hood. It can be seen that the first slide 1 IG is offset along the longitudinal axis X and along the vertical axis Z relative to the second slide 12G. In particular, the first slide 1 IG is positioned further downwards and forwards relative to the second slide 12G. This makes it possible to obtain a more stable hold of the hood 5 in the closed position and a better distribution of the forces exerted by the weight of the hood.

[0045] [Fig. 3] illustrates in perspective the slides 11G and 12G. Each of the slides 11G and 12G comprises a substantially horizontal lower wall 11G1, 12G1, a substantially horizontal upper wall 11G2, 12G2, and a substantially vertical bottom wall 11G3, 12G3 connecting the lower wall to the second upper wall. Each slide thus has substantially the shape of a lying "U". The bottom walls 11G3 and 12G3 form stops cooperating with the slides 13G and 14G to define the position of the hood along the longitudinal axis X. The lower walls 11G1, 12G1 support at least part of the weight of the hood 5. The upper walls 11G2, 12G2 hold the hood in position along the vertical axis Z. This prevents the hood from moving under the effect of vertical accelerations.Advantageously, all or part of the front ends of the walls 11G1, 11G2, 12G1 and 12G2 can be flared so as to facilitate the insertion of the slide into the corresponding slide.

[0046] It can be seen in [Fig. 3] that the lower wall 11G1 of the first left slide 1 IG comprises a circular opening 11G4. This circular opening is intended to cooperate with a fixing screw to fix the lighting device 6G. Thus, at least one slide of the left lighting device also serves to fix the lighting device to a structural element of the vehicle. Advantageously, the upper wall 11G2 of the first left slide 1 IG also comprises an opening 11G5. The opening 11G5 allows the passage of a tool such as a screwdriver to access the fixing screw cooperating with the opening 11G4.

[0047] [Fig.4] illustrates the vehicle 1 after the removal of the hood 5 and the hubcap 7. observes that the engine compartment 4 contains in particular different tanks 15A, 15B, and a battery 16 of type 12V. It is also observed that the vehicle 1 further comprises a structural element 17, in particular a crossmember, extending over the width of the vehicle 1. The structural element 17 is an element of the body of the vehicle 1. It is of a rigid element, intended to support the weight of at least part of the organs arranged in the engine compartment. The structural element 17 may comprise a plastic body and a metal frame embedded in the plastic body.

[0048] The structural element 17 comprises in particular a main beam 18 extending parallel to the transverse axis Y and supports 19G, 19D, or columns, extending upwards from the main beam 18. In particular, the structural element 17 comprises a left support 19G and a right support 19D. The lower wall 11G1 of the first slide 1 IG of the left lighting device 6G rests on an upper face of the left support 19G. Similarly, the lower wall of the first slide 11D of the right lighting device 6D rests on an upper face of the right support 19D. It is therefore understood that the structural element 17 supports at least part of the weight of each lighting device 6G, 6D. The fixing screw cooperating with the opening 11G4 previously described is screwed into the left support 19G. The left light device (and likewise the right light device) is thus fixed to the structural element 17.

[0049] The main beam 18 further comprises complementary fastening interfaces for the hood 5. More specifically, the main beam 18 comprises a set of fastening holes cooperating with fastening screws 20. The fastening screws 20 are configured to fasten a lower edge of the hood 5 to the structural element 17. It is therefore understood that the hood 5 is held to the vehicle 1 on the one hand by means of the slides 1 IG, 12G, 11D, 12D provided on the lighting devices and on the other hand, by means of the fastening screws 20. The fastening screws 20 therefore provide an additional means of fastening the hood which makes it possible to secure it in the closed position. Advantageously, the fastening screws 20 are then masked by the trim 7.

[0050] In addition, the main beam 18 comprises a set of front openings 21 positioned near the fixing screws 20. The front openings 21 are intended to cooperate with longitudinal tabs 22 provided at a lower edge of the cover 5. The cooperation of the longitudinal tabs 22 with the front openings 21 makes it possible to correctly position the cover 5 relative to the structural element 17.

[0051] To remove the hood 5, it is therefore necessary to remove the trim, unscrew the fixing screws 20, then pull on the hood along the longitudinal axis X. To reposition the hood 5, it is necessary to insert the slides 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D of the hood into the slides 11G, 12G, 11D, 12D and the longitudinal tabs 22 into the front openings 21. The hood is then pushed along the longitudinal axis X until the slides reach the bottom walls of the respective slides. Next, the fixing screws 20 are screwed in and then the trim 7 is repositioned, which masks the fixing screws 20. These operations are easily carried out. According to one embodiment, the fixing screws 20 could be replaced by quick-release devices or by any other equivalent fixing means.

[0052] In [Fig. 4], it can also be seen that the vehicle 1 comprises a cowl grille 23 extending below the windshield 2 to receive and evacuate rainwater falling against the windshield. The cowl grille 23 comprises an edge equipped with a seal 24. The seal 24 extends transversely below the windshield 2 between the two lighting devices 6G, 6D. Advantageously, the hood 5 further comprises a sealing surface 25 (illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 7) bearing against the seal 24. Thus, the hood 5 also performs a sealing function preventing rainwater from entering massively into the engine compartment 4.

[0053] [Fig. 5] illustrates the cover 5 in isolation. The slides 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D may also be made in the form of a lying "U". They each comprise a lower wall, an upper wall and a bottom wall connecting the lower wall to the upper wall. The distance separating the lower wall and the upper wall of each slide is chosen so that the slides can be housed inside the respective slides. When the cover is in the closed position, an upper face of the upper wall of each slide may bear against a lower face of the upper wall of the corresponding slide. Similarly, a lower face of the lower wall of each slide may bear against an upper face of the lower wall of the corresponding slide. Similarly, the bottom wall of the slide may bear against the bottom wall of the corresponding slide.The slides 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D can be made of plastic material and they can be molded with a plastic body 26 of the cover.

[0054] [Fig. 6] illustrates an alternative embodiment of at least one slide and the corresponding slider. This alternative embodiment can equip all or part of the slides 11G, 12G, 11D, 12D and the corresponding slides 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D. In [Fig. 6], this alternative embodiment is arbitrarily represented in relation to the first left slide 1 IG and the first left slide 13G. According to this alternative embodiment, the slide 13G comprises an elastic element 13G1 which can be snapped into the slide 11G. The elastic element 13G1 is an element intended to be elastically deformed when the cover 5 is put in place to stabilize the closed position of the cover. According to one embodiment, the bottom wall 11G3 comprises an opening 11G6 and the elastic element 13G1 is positioned at the rear of the slide 13G. The elastic element 13G1 is intended to be inserted into the opening 11G6.The elastic element 13G1 is in particular intended to deform elastically when it passes through the opening 11G6 then to relax when it . has completely passed through the opening 11G6. The elastic element 11G6 advantageously comprises ramps intended to bear on edges of the opening 11G6 to deform the elastic element. Thus, a user handling the hood simply feels increased resistance when the elastic element is put under tension during insertion or extraction of the hood. In addition to securing the closed position of the hood, the elastic element provides a haptic indication of the correct position of the hood 5.

[0055] In relation to [Fig.7], the hood 5 further comprises an air inlet 27 for capturing air from outside the vehicle and an air outlet 28 connected to a duct 29 of a ventilation device of the vehicle 1. The air inlet 27 faces towards the rear of the vehicle. It is positioned above the cowl grille 23. The air inlet 27 may comprise a filter to prevent the passage of large particles. The air inlet 27 may extend across the entire width of the hood, between the sliders 14G and 14D. The air outlet 28 may be positioned below the air inlet 27. The air outlet 28 may comprise a contour 30 intended to bear on a seal 31 at the interface between the duct 29 and the hood 5. The duct 29 may extend parallel to the longitudinal axis X towards the rear of the vehicle.

[0056] When the vehicle is operating, an air flow, illustrated by an arrow F2 in [Fig.7], is therefore likely to circulate inside the hood 5 between the air inlet 27 and the air outlet 28. This air flow is channeled by different internal walls of the hood 5.

[0057] In relation to [Fig.7], it is observed that the cover 5 can be produced by assembling several parts or components. All the parts forming the structure of the cover can be made of plastic. They can in particular be obtained by molding.

[0058] A first component of the cover 5 corresponds to the body 26 previously mentioned. The body is notably illustrated in isolation in [Fig.8]. The body 26 notably comprises the slides 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D, the longitudinal tabs 22, the sealing surface 25, the air inlet 27 and the air outlet 28. The body 26 further comprises first fixing interfaces 32, for example holes, cooperating with the fixing screws 20.

[0059] A second component of the hood 5 is a cover 33. The cover 33 is notably illustrated in isolation in [Fig.9]. The cover 33 comprises an outer face visible from the exterior of the vehicle. The cover 33 can perform an aesthetic function of the front face 3. The outer face of the cover 33 can be painted in the color of the body of the vehicle. The cover 33 is fixed to the body 25 by means of fixing clips 34. The fixing clips 34 cooperate with second fixing interfaces 35, notably holes, provided in an upper edge of the body 25.

[0060] A third component of the cover 5 is a central lighting device 36. The central lighting device 36 is notably illustrated in isolation in [Fig. 10]. The central lighting device 36 comprises a housing 37 inside which a light source 38 is arranged. The housing 37 is closed by a transparent or translucent glass 39 through which the light rays from the light source 38 are emitted. The glass 39 can be glued to the housing 37. The glass 39 can extend transversely from the left lighting device 6G to the right lighting device 6D. A luminous continuity can thus be formed between the lighting devices 6G and 6D. The glass 39 can be inclined upwards and backwards. Electrical connection means are configured to supply the central lighting device, notably the light source 38, with electrical energy.These electrical connection means can pass through an opening provided in a rear wall of the housing 37. .

[0061] The body 26 may comprise third fixing interfaces 40, in particular holes cooperating with fixing screws 41 and with the housing 37 to fix the central lighting device 36 to the body 26. Furthermore, the cover 33 may also be fixed to the housing 37 by means of fixing clips 42. In addition, the housing 37 may also be fixed to the structural element 17 by fixing lugs 43 or fixing clips. A lower wall of the body 26 may be sandwiched between the housing 37 and the structural element 17. The trim 7 may be fixed to the housing 37 by fixing clips 44 so as to cover the fixing screws 20.

[0062] According to an alternative embodiment, the cover 5 could be formed by assembling a different number of components. In particular, the housing 37 and the body 26 could form a single component, in particular a single component obtained by molding. Alternatively, the cover 33 and the body 26 could form a single component, in particular a single component obtained by molding. Alternatively, the cover 33 and the housing 37 could form a single component, in particular a single component obtained by molding. Alternatively, the body 26, the cover 33 and the housing 37 could form a single component, in particular a single component obtained by molding.
