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 end of a motor vehicle comprising such an arrangement. Prior art

[0002] Motor vehicles are generally equipped with an engine compartment housing the vehicle's powertrain. The engine compartment is a technical space within the vehicle that also contains various functional components, such as a battery and / or fluid reservoirs. The engine compartment must remain easily accessible to allow anyone to perform routine 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 around a transverse axis of the vehicle between an open and a closed position. The transverse axis is generally positioned below the windshield. The hood's rotation around the transverse axis is sometimes insufficient, and the user does not have clear access to the engine compartment.

[0004] Furthermore, the hood is generally hinged for rotation by means of hinges arranged at its two lateral ends. Hinges are heavy, complex, fragile, and bulky devices. In particular, hinges hinder the integration of other components into the engine compartment. Specifically, the integration of hinges is generally incompatible with a vehicle design in which lights are positioned relatively high on the front, at the lateral ends of the hood. Moreover, hinges can create obstacles that impede the movements of a user performing maintenance in the engine compartment.

[0005] Finally, hoods known from the prior 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 therefore inconvenient. Presentation of the invention

[0030] Figure 1 schematically illustrates a motor vehicle according to one embodiment of the invention. The vehicle 1 may, in particular, be a passenger car, a commercial vehicle, a truck, or even a bus.

[0031] In this document, the X-axis designates the longitudinal axis of vehicle 1. When moving forward in a straight line, vehicle 1 progresses from rear to 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, in the direction of reverse. The Y-axis designates the transverse axis of the vehicle. The Y-axis is oriented from left to right, left and right being defined from the perspective of a driver of the vehicle. The Z-axis designates the axis perpendicular to the X-axis and the Y-axis. The vehicle is assumed to be resting on a horizontal surface. The Z-axis is a vertical axis, oriented from bottom to top. The X, Y, and Z axes form an orthogonal coordinate system. This same coordinate system, defined with reference to a vehicle, will also be used to describe an arrangement of the vehicle, even when considered outside the vehicle, since it is intended for mounting in a specific orientation within 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]) houses the vehicle's powertrain and various functional components. In particular, the engine compartment may house a battery, including a 12-volt battery, and / or fluid reservoirs, including reservoirs for windshield washer fluid, coolant, brake fluid, and / or lubricating oil.

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

[0034] To make the engine compartment 4 accessible for maintenance, the front end 3 includes a removable cover 5. "Removable" means that the cover 5 can be moved to provide access to the engine compartment for vehicle maintenance. The cover 5 acts as a kind of easily operated door for accessing the engine compartment. The cover 5 has an external face visible from outside the vehicle and contributing to the vehicle's aesthetics. The cover 5 may, for example, bear a central light and / or a vehicle make or model logo.

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

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

[0037] The front face 3 further includes a trim piece 7 positioned below the hood 5 and lighting devices 6G and 6D. The front face 3 also includes a shield 8 below the trim piece 7. As shown in [Fig. 1], 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 designed to be installed and removed from the vehicle by a translational movement substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X. "Substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X" means that the translational movement of the hood may follow a direction forming an angle of 45° or less, preferably 30° or less, with the longitudinal axis X. Preferably, the installation or removal of the hood 5 is carried out by a movement parallel to the longitudinal axis X and the vertical axis Z. The hood 5 is said to be "in the closed position" or "in the closed position" when it is in place to close the engine compartment 4.

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

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

[0041] The two left-hand slides 13G, 14G cooperate with the two left-hand guides 11G, 12G. Similarly, the two right-hand slides 13D, 14D cooperate with the two right-hand guides 11D, 12D. The cooperation of the guides 11G, 12G, 11D, 12D with the slides 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D allows, on the one hand, for guiding the movement of the hood in a translational motion substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the vehicle when the hood is being put in place or when the hood is being removed. On the other hand, the cooperation of the guides 11G, 12G, 11D, 12D with the slides 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D allows for supporting at least part of the weight of the hood when it is in the closed position of the engine compartment 4.

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

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

[0044] Figure 2 schematically illustrates the hood 5 and the lighting device 6G during The hood is being fitted. An arrow Fl represents the translational movement of the hood. It can be observed 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 down and forward relative to the second slide 12G. This allows for more stable retention of the hood 5 in the closed position and a better distribution of the forces exerted by the weight of the hood.

[0045] Figure 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 horizontal "U". The bottom walls 11G3 and 12G3 act as stops that cooperate 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 to facilitate the insertion of the slide into the corresponding guide.

[0046] Figure 3 shows that the lower wall 11G1 of the first left-hand slide 1 IG includes a circular opening 11G4. This circular opening is designed to cooperate with a fixing screw to secure the light 6G. Thus, at least one slide of the left-hand light also serves to fix the light to a structural element of the vehicle. Advantageously, the upper wall 11G2 of the first left-hand slide 1 IG also includes 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] Figure 4 illustrates vehicle 1 after the removal of the hood 5 and the wheel trim 7. It is observed that the engine compartment 4 contains, in particular, various tanks 15A, 15B, and a 12V battery 16. It is also observed that the vehicle 1 further comprises a structural element 17, specifically a crossmember, extending across the width of the vehicle 1. The structural element 17 is a component of the body of the vehicle 1. It is of a rigid element, intended to support the weight of at least some of the components 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 includes, 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 includes a left support 19G and a right support 19D. The lower wall 11G1 of the first slide 1IG 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 previously described opening 11G4 is screwed into the left support 19G. The left lighting device (and likewise the right lighting device) is thus fixed to the structural element 17.

[0049] The main beam 18 further includes additional fastening interfaces for the hood 5. More specifically, the main beam 18 includes 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 thus 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 secures it in the closed position. Advantageously, the fastening screws 20 are then concealed by the trim piece 7.

[0050] In addition, the main beam 18 includes 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 hood 5. The cooperation of the longitudinal tabs 22 with the front openings 21 allows the hood 5 to be correctly positioned relative to the structural element 17.

[0051] To remove the cover 5, the trim piece must be removed, the fixing screws 20 unscrewed, and then the cover pulled out along the longitudinal axis X. To reposition the cover 5, the slides 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D of the cover must be inserted into the guides 11G, 12G, 11D, 12D and the longitudinal tabs 22 into the front openings 21. The cover is then pushed along the longitudinal axis X until the slides reach the bottom walls of the respective guides. Next, the fixing screws 20 are tightened, and then the trim piece 7 is repositioned, which covers the fixing screws 20. These operations are easily carried out. According to one embodiment, the fixing screws 20 could be replaced by quick-release fasteners or any other equivalent fixing means.

[0052] In [Fig. 4], it can also be seen that the vehicle 1 includes a cowl grille 23 extending below the windshield 2 to collect and drain rainwater that has fallen against the windshield. The cowl grille 23 includes an edge equipped with a sealing gasket 24. The sealing gasket 24 extends transversely below the windshield 2 between the two light devices 6G, 6D. Advantageously, the hood 5 further includes a sealing surface 25 (illustrated in Figures 5 and 7) bearing against the sealing gasket 24. Thus, the hood 5 also performs a sealing function, preventing rainwater from entering the engine compartment 4 in large quantities.

[0053] Figure 5 illustrates the cover 5 in isolation. The slides 13G, 14G, 13D, and 14D can also be made in the form of a horizontal "U". Each slide comprises a lower wall, an upper wall, and a bottom wall connecting the lower wall to the upper wall. The distance between the lower and upper walls of each slide is chosen so that the slides can fit inside their respective guides. When the cover is in the closed position, an upper face of the upper wall of each slide can bear against a lower face of the upper wall of the corresponding guide. Similarly, a lower face of the lower wall of each slide can bear against an upper face of the lower wall of the corresponding guide. Likewise, the bottom wall of the slide can bear against the bottom wall of the corresponding guide.The 13G, 14G, 13D, 14D slides can be made of plastic material and they can be molded with a plastic body 26 of the hood.

[0054] Figure 6 illustrates an alternative embodiment of at least one slide and its corresponding slide. This alternative embodiment can equip all or part of the slides 11G, 12G, 11D, and the corresponding slides 13G, 14G, 13D, and 14D. In Figure 6, this alternative embodiment is arbitrarily shown in relation to the first left-hand slide 1IG and the first left-hand slide 13G. According to this alternative embodiment, the slide 13G includes an elastic element 13G1 that snaps into the slide 11G. The elastic element 13G1 is designed to be elastically deformed when the cover 5 is put in place to stabilize the closed position of the cover. In one embodiment, the bottom wall 11G3 includes 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 specifically designed to deform elastically when it passes through the opening 11G6 and then to relax when it completely passed through the opening 11G6. The elastic element 11G6 advantageously includes ramps designed to bear against the edges of the opening 11G6 to deform the elastic element. Thus, a user handling the cover simply feels increased resistance when the elastic element is under tension during insertion or removal of the cover. In addition to securing the closed position of the cover, the elastic element provides haptic feedback indicating that the cover 5 is correctly positioned.

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

[0056] When the vehicle is running, an airflow, illustrated by an arrow F2 on [Fig.7], is therefore likely to flow inside the hood 5 between the air inlet 27 and the air outlet 28. This airflow is channeled through various internal walls of the hood 5.

[0057] With reference to [Fig. 7], it can be seen that the hood 5 can be made by assembling several parts or components. All the parts forming the structure of the hood can be made of plastic. In particular, they can be obtained by molding.

[0058] A first component of the hood 5 corresponds to the body 26 mentioned above. The body is illustrated in isolation in [Fig. 8]. The body 26 includes, in particular, 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 also includes first fastening interfaces 32, for example holes, cooperating with the fastening screws 20.

[0059] A second component of the hood 5 is a cover 33. The cover 33 is shown in isolation in [Fig. 9]. The cover 33 has an outer face visible from outside the vehicle. The cover 33 can provide an aesthetic function for the front face 3. The outer face of the cover 33 can be painted to match the vehicle's body color. The cover 33 is attached to the body 25 by means of fastening clips 34. The fastening clips 34 cooperate with secondary fastening interfaces 35, in particular holes, provided in an upper edge of the body 25.

[0060] A third component of the hood 5 is a central lighting device 36. The central lighting device 36 is 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 lens 39 through which the light rays from the light source 38 are emitted. The lens 39 can be bonded to the housing 37. The lens 39 can extend transversely from the left lighting device 6G to the right lighting device 6D. A continuous line of light can thus be formed between the lighting devices 6G and 6D. The lens 39 can be tilted upwards and backwards. Electrical connection means are configured to supply the central lighting device, in particular 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 include third attachment interfaces 40, in particular holes cooperating with fixing screws 41 and with the housing 37 for attaching the central light device 36 to the body 26. Furthermore, the cover 33 may also be attached to the housing 37 by means of fixing clips 42. In addition, the housing 37 may also be attached to the structural element 17 by means of fixing tabs 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 ring 7 may be attached to the housing 37 by means of fixing clips 44 so as to cover the fixing screws 20.

[0062] According to one 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, notably a single component obtained by molding. Alternatively, the cover 33 and the body 26 could form a single component, notably a single component obtained by molding. Alternatively, the cover 33 and the housing 37 could form a single component, notably a single component obtained by molding. Alternatively, the body 26, the cover 33, and the housing 37 could form a single component, notably a single component obtained by molding.
