    Technical field to which the invention relates
    The present invention relates generally to the protection of some of the components of a motor vehicle in the event of a collision, particularly in the event of a frontal impact.
    It relates more particularly to a device for supporting a motor vehicle component.
    It also relates to a motor vehicle comprising such a support device.
    Technological background
    In the event of a collision of a vehicle against any obstacle, it may happen that several bodies of the vehicle collide, especially when the chassis of the vehicle crashes to absorb the energy of the shock. This is particularly the case of the organs located in the engine compartment, in case of frontal impact.
    These bodies, often very stiff, may stack on top of each other, creating a large incompressible volume in the engine compartment. This is problematic for the protection of the occupant.
    Indeed, a large incompressible volume in the engine compartment will limit crushing of the front of the vehicle. This has two main consequences. On the one hand, the front of the vehicle will absorb less energy, which will then be transferred to the cabin. The cabin will deform more than desired (as a reminder, the passenger compartment is the "survival cage" of the occupant). On the other hand, these bodies stacked incompressibly on each other may enter the front part of the cabin, which generates a risk for the occupant.
    To improve the behavior of the bodies relative to each other in the engine compartment, JP2006088871 discloses a particular fastening system of a powertrain to the chassis of the vehicle. In this fastening system, some elements are designed to break in the event of impact, so that in a frontal collision, the powertrain can tilt around a pivot axis to not be damaged.
    Unfortunately, given the large number of bodies present under the hood of the vehicle, it is not always possible to have sufficient space to use this fastening system.
    This fastening system is also expensive to implement.
    Object of the invention
    The present invention then proposes a device for supporting a motor vehicle component, in which there is provided: a plate which is equipped with means for securing said component, and fixing means for a structural element of the motor vehicle, said fixing means being adapted to break in the event of a collision of the motor vehicle, and - a deflector which forms a ramp whose end portion extends up to the plate and whose opposite end is inclined with respect to the plate .
    Thus, thanks to the invention, in case of shock, the platen and the component that it supports will detach from the structural element, will come to slide against the deflector and will be ejected by the ramp.
    The baffle will thus prevent the stacking of the component with the other components of the vehicle in the engine compartment.
    Thus, this support means can be used to participate in the protection of the occupant. Other advantageous and non-limiting features of the support device according to the invention are the following: said fixing means are provided for breaking when the support device experiences a force greater than a predetermined threshold; said fixing means comprise at least one rivet; - Said fixing means are adapted, in case of rupture, to completely release the plate of the structural element of the frame; - The plate is predominantly flat and has at least one folded edge at right angles. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle comprising: - structural elements (chassis, powertrain, ...), - a component comprising a protective housing, and - a support device as mentioned above, whose means of fastening are fixed to said protective housing and whose fastening means are fixed to one of said structural elements.
    Advantageously, the deflector is attached to, or comes to form with, a structural element of the vehicle which is distinct from the structural element to which the plate is attached.
    Advantageously, the vehicle comprises at least one electric traction motor of the motor vehicle, and said "component" comprises an electronic power unit, adapted to control the intensity of the current transmitted to the electric motor.
    Preferably, there is provided braking means for braking the motor vehicle, at least a portion of which is located behind the deflector (opposite the protective housing).
    Detailed description of an example of realization
    The following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, given by way of non-limiting examples, will make it clear what the invention consists of and how it can be achieved.
    In the accompanying drawings: - Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a motor vehicle component attached to a support device according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of the support device of FIG. 1; and - Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view of the plate of the support device of Figure 1, shown at another angle.
    Conventionally, a motor vehicle comprises wheels and a frame which supports in particular a powertrain, torque transmission elements from the powertrain to the driving wheels, a braking system, body elements and cabin elements.
    It can be considered here that the powertrain of the motor vehicle is either electric (that is to say without an internal combustion engine) or hybrid (that is to say comprising an electric motor and an internal combustion engine) .
    In both cases, the powertrain then comprises an electric power train which comprises at least one electric motor, a storage battery (called traction battery) and an electronic power unit.
    This electronic power unit is designed to control the intensity of the current transmitted to the electric motor by the traction battery.
    It further comprises a DC voltage converter (DC-DC) for lowering the voltage across the traction battery (which is generally greater than 300 V) to a voltage equal to that of the low voltage network of the vehicle (generally of the order of 14 V).
    FIG. 1 shows a particular component of the motor vehicle, namely this electronic power unit 200. As shown in this figure, the power electronic unit 200 comprises a housing 210 which houses and protects the electronic components (not visible) of the electronic power unit 200.
    This housing 210 is here composed of a base 211 and a cover 212 which closes the base 211.
    In the rest of the description, the terms "front" and "rear" will be used with respect to the motor vehicle, the rear of an element designating the side of this element which is turned towards the trunk of the vehicle and the front designating the opposite side.
    It will be considered here that the electronic power unit 200 is located in the engine compartment of the vehicle, in front of a component of the vehicle braking system.
    It is then understood that in the event of a frontal collision, when the chassis of the vehicle crashes to absorb the energy of the shock, the risk is that the casing 210 of the electronic power unit 200 hits the brake member, creating a strong incompressible volume in the engine compartment, unfavorably deforming the cabin.
    According to a particularly advantageous characteristic of the invention, as shown in FIG. 2, this support device 100 comprises two main elements, namely a plate 110 and a deflector 150. The plate 110 comprises securing means 120 for retaining the housing 210 of the electronic power unit 200, and fastening means 130 for attaching to a structural member of the vehicle, which are designed to break in the event of a collision. The deflector 150, in turn, forms a ramp whose end portion 171 extends up to the plate 110 and whose opposite end 172 is inclined with respect to the plate 110.
    In the embodiment shown in the figures, the plate 110 is predominantly flat. It is formed by a plate which comprises a substantially rectangular bottom 111, at least a part of at least one of the edges is folded at right angles (with a non-zero radius from a rounded fold) upwards, for form a flange 112.
    Here, the front edge of the bottom 111 of the plate 110 is fully folded at right angles upwards, and the left edge of this bottom has a folded portion at right angles upwards.
    While the bottom 111 forms a base for the housing 210 of the power electronics unit 200, the flanges 112 form stops to hold the housing in place. The flange 112 located at the rear of the plate 110 is particularly important because in a frontal collision, it prevents the casing from sliding relative to the plate 110.
    The securing means 120 of the housing 210 of the power electronics unit 200 on the plate 110 could be in a variety of forms.
    As shown in Figure 1, they comprise here a screw 121 which passes through a hole in the plate 110 and which is screwed into a nut (not visible) located under the plate 110. They also include a tab 122 which is adapted to plate a part of the housing 210 against the plate 110.
    As shown in FIG. 2, these securing means 120 also comprise holes made in the plate 110, which make it possible to hook the casing 210 before screwing the screw 121.
    The fastening means 130 of the plate 110 to the frame 300 could also be in quite different forms, provided that they break in the event of impact.
    As shown in Figure 3, these fastening means 130 are here formed by four rivets.
    These rivets 130 make it possible to fix the plate 110 to a structural element 301 composing the chassis 300 of the vehicle. This structural element 301 is here formed by a rigid plate bolted to the motor support 303.
    The rivets 130 are engaged through openings provided in the bottom 111 of the plate 110 so that their heads rest on the top of the plate 110 and that their rods can hang under the structural element 301.
    These rivets 130 are provided to break when the support device 100 undergoes a deceleration greater than a predetermined threshold. This threshold will preferably be greater than or equal to 10 m.s 2
    In this way, in case of a low-impact collision, the rivets 130 are provided not to yield, so that the housing 210 of the electronic power unit 200 remains securely attached to the vehicle frame.
    On the other hand, in case of a more violent collision, the four rivets 130 are provided to yield so as to completely release the plate 110 of the structural element 301.
    The deflector 150, which is designed to deflect the housing 210 of its trajectory in case of shock, could be in various forms. It could thus be in the form of a flat plate or a curved plate.
    However, here, as shown in Figure 2, the deflector 150 is composed of three stamped sheets 151 and welded.
    This assembly of 3 stamped sheets 151 welded is screwed to the frame.
    This assembly then forms a ramp designed to deflect, in the event of a frontal collision, the plate 110 and the casing 210 of their natural trajectories.
    This ramp has for this purpose a first end 171 which extends at or below the front edge of the plate 110, while the second end 172 of the ramp extends to an upper height.
    Therefore, in the event of a violent impact, when the rivets 130 yield, the trailing edge of the plate 110 is slidable along the ramp towards the second end 172, allowing the platen 110 to be ejected above deflector 150.
    Preferably, the structural element 302 to which the deflector 150 is attached is distinct from the structural element 301 to which is fixed the plate 110. Indeed the structural element 302 is integral with the frame 300 of the vehicle, while the element 301 is secured to a motor support, or motor frame, which is decoupled from the frame by antivibration means.
    In this way, in case of shock, when the frame 300 crushes, the two structural elements 301, 302 (located one in front of the other) come closer, which promotes the ejection of the plate 110.
    During this shock, the ramp may even force the front of the plate 110 to lift, so as to force the rivets 130 to yield.
