Opening control with a linear actuator for a motor vehicle
An opening control has a case and a handle mounted so as to tilt about an axis relative to the case between at least one rest position and an ejected position, a lever for pivoting the handle in ejection and/or retraction and electrical actuation element of the pivot lever. The lever is configured to pivot about an axis common to the handle and has a member for elastically returning into a return position in which it is adapted to retain the handle in its rest position. The actuation element is configured to make the lever pivot against the return force of the return member so as to drive in its rotational movement the handle from its rest position to its ejected position.
1. An opening control for a door leaf of a motor vehicle, the opening control comprising:
a case configured to be mounted on the door leaf,
a handle mounted so as to tilt about an axis relative to the case between at least a rest position and an ejected position in which the handle is at least partially emerged from the case,
a lever for pivoting the handle to the ejected position or the rest position, and
an electrical actuation element,
wherein the lever is configured to pivot relative to the handle about the axis and comprises a member for elastically returning the lever into a return position in which the member is adapted to retain the handle in the rest position and the electrical actuation element is configured to make the lever pivot against a return force of the member so as to drive, through a lever rotational movement, the handle from the rest position to the ejected position.
2. The control according to claim 1 , wherein a lower face of the handle comprises a shoulder delimiting a transverse bearing wall from which an inner branch of the handle is extended axially and against which the lever bears so as to make the handle pivot.
3. The control according to claim 1 , wherein the lever has a bracket-like shape inside which an inner branch of the handle is engaged and comprises at least one lower connecting cross-bar adapted to cooperate with the inner branch.
4. The control according to claim 3 , wherein the lever comprises a bracket head extending above an upper face of the handle and a bracket floor formed by the lower bar bearing against a lower face of the handle.
5. The control according to claim 4 , wherein the lever has two arcuate lateral arms, the two arcuate lateral arms linking the head and the floor.
6. The control according to claim 4 , wherein the head and the floor are linked together by two bent lateral branches at the apex of which the bracket is hinged.
7. The control according to claim 1 , wherein the lever comprises a hinge support provided with two bearings for guiding the lever in rotation about the axis.
8. The control according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical actuation element comprises an ejection arm extending in a direction transverse to the handle so as to bear against the lever and cause it to pivot against the return force.
9. The control according to claim 8 , wherein the ejection arm is pivotally mounted at one of its ends between two flanges of the case.
10. The control according to claim 9 , wherein the electrical actuation element comprises a linear actuator linked to the ejection arm, the linear actuator comprising a linear cylinder provided with an end cooperating with an end of the ejection arm to make the ejection arm pivot about a vertical axis.
11. The control according to claim 1 , wherein the handle is configured to freely pivot inside the lever and against a return spring when the lever is immobile, within a predefined range of angular displacement inside the lever.
