    FLAT PANEL DISPLAY AND CONTROLLER RECHARGING PLATE FOR BATTERY OF AN ELECTRIC OR HYBRID VEHICLE.
    Field of the invention
    The present invention relates to the field of vehicles of electric or hybrid type comprising an electric propulsion motor powered by a rechargeable battery for its propulsion. More specifically, the invention relates to an electric charging door for such a battery.
    Background of the invention
    Electric and hybrid-electric vehicles equipped with an electric propulsion engine generally comprise an electric battery that can be recharged via terminals or external recharging stations.
    To do this, the user just plugs a plug located at the end of a charging cord connected to an external power source (typically a terminal or a charging station) on the charging socket of a electric charging hatch located on a bodywork element of the vehicle, for example in the middle part of the grille just below the hood.
    Such a charging hatch, well known from the prior art, in particular patent application EP 0 536 056, conventionally comprises a housing having an opening in front and intended to be implanted on a body part of a motor vehicle (For example in the middle part of the grille just below the hood), and a load socket housed in this housing and a door mounted movably between a closed position in which it closes the opening so as to conceal the taking of load and an open position in which the latter is accessible.
    The US patent application US 2011/0043355 proposes such a charging hatch comprising display means provided with a plurality of indicator lights arranged in a circular manner around the charging socket and able to illuminate in a first color when the cover is moved from its closed position to the opening position to illuminate this load in a dark environment.
    These display means are furthermore connected to the vehicle battery in order to detect its charge level and to inform the user thereof: only certain lights being illuminated to form an arc whose length corresponds to this level of charge .
    The display means also comprise a clock-type reading window indicating the programmed charge start or end time, or the time remaining until the end of the current charging cycle.
    An input interface with two command buttons also allows the user to program the start time and / or end of charge. The implantation of such a charging hatch on the structure of a motor vehicle is unfortunately not always possible because of the volume occupied by the electronic circuit board or cards hidden behind the housing and on which are mounted the different display means and the buttons of the input interface.
    Object and summary of the invention
    The present invention therefore aims to provide a sophisticated electric charging door and a small footprint.
    It proposes for this purpose an electric charging hatch for an electric or hybrid vehicle battery comprising a housing having an opening in front and intended to be implanted on a bodywork element of said vehicle, as well as a charge socket housed in said housing and a gate mounted movably between a closed position in which it closes said opening of the housing so as to conceal the load plug and an open position in which the latter is accessible; said trap further comprising display means for connection to said battery and configured to provide a user with information on the state of said battery; characterized in that said display means is formed by a flat touch screen configured to display at least one touch control button enabling said user to initiate the process of charging said battery when said charging socket is connected to a source of power. external power supply.
    The combination of display and control means in a flat touch screen allows the charging door according to the invention to be particularly thin and space-saving since no printed circuit board or any other mechanical or electronic element requires be implanted at the back of the case.
    The reduction in the number of parts constituting this loading hatch also makes it possible to significantly reduce its assembly time.
    In addition, the presence of such a touch screen offers a particularly refined and modern visual rendering that significantly improves the level of quality perceived by users, especially since the layout of its display may possibly be modified later by simply setting software update.
    According to preferred features of the charging hatch according to the invention, taken alone or in combination: - said flat touch screen is housed in said housing; said flat touch screen is fixed against the internal face of said gate; - said flat touch screen automatically turns on when opening said gate; - The said flat touch screen automatically turns off after a certain predetermined time in the absence of connection of a said external power source on said load or support of a user on this screen; said flat touch screen displays two touch control buttons respectively allowing the user to immediately or postponed the charging process of said battery when said charging socket is connected to said external power source; said flat touchscreen is able to display a touch parameter menu allowing said user to opt for the delayed launch either for a programming by indication of the start time of charge or for a programming by indication of the end of charge schedule, as well as to enter the desired schedule; said flat touch screen displays a read window indicating the type of programming and the schedule currently set with regard to the delayed launching; said flat touch screen displays a charge level indicator of said battery in the form of a gauge whose filling changes in real time according to this level of charge; and / or - said flat touch screen displays a charge indicator of said battery being in the form of a pictogram appearing on the graphical gauge when the charging process is in progress.
    Brief description of the drawings The description of the invention will now be continued by the detailed description of an exemplary embodiment, given below by way of illustration but without limitation, with reference to the appended drawings, in which: FIG. a perspective view of an electric charging hatch according to a first embodiment of the invention; - Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, but where the portion to the right of the sectional plane II-II has been torn off; and FIG. 3 represents a perspective view of an electric charging hatch according to a second embodiment of the invention.
    Detailed description of several preferred embodiments
    Figures 1 and 2 show an electric charging hatch 10 of a hybrid or electric vehicle according to a first embodiment of the invention.
    This charging hatch 10 comprises a housing 11 having an opening IIA in front and intended to be implanted on a bodywork element of a motor vehicle (for example in the middle part of the grille just below the hood), as well as a charge socket 12 housed in this housing 11 being attached to its bottom wall IIA.
    This charging plug 12 is electrically connected to power cables (not visible in the figures) passing through the bottom of this housing 11 and provided to be connected to the electric battery of the vehicle.
    The charging hatch 10 also comprises a gate 13 mounted movably between a closed position in which it closes the opening 11A of the housing 11 so as to conceal the load plug 12 and an open position in which the latter is accessible to allow the user to connect an electrical plug connected to an external power source such as a charging station or charging station.
    More precisely and as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the gate 13 is pivotally articulated with respect to the housing 11 along a vertical axis by means of a hinge 14 formed on one of the two lateral edges of the opening IIA.
    This hinge 14 is advantageously gooseneck so as to have a hinge pin slightly offset to the outside of the opening IIA so as to ensure a better movement of the gate 13 and to facilitate the introduction of the electrical plug.
    Preferably, the periphery of the opening 11A of the housing 11 carries a seal not shown in the figures and adapted to ensure the sealing of the charging door 10 when the door 13 is in the closed position.
    The charging hatch 10 further comprises display and control means intended to be connected to the battery of the vehicle and formed by a flat touch screen 15 housed in the housing 11 and fixed against the bottom IIB of the latter close to charging socket 12.
    This flat touch screen 15 is conventionally constituted by the superposition of a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a capacitive type touch screen based on the detection of the transfer of electric charge operating to the finger of the user since the area of the screen with which it is in contact.
    Alternatively and according to certain criteria of price, impact resistance, accuracy or size, the display and / or the touch screen may be of different types. The display will for example be based on plasma or organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology while the display will be resistive type, surface wave (SAW), infrared or strain gages.
    Note in support of Figure 2 that the use of such a flat screen 15 allows the charging door to be particularly thin and space-saving since no printed circuit board or any other element requires to be implanted 11. The touch screen 15 automatically turns on when the gate 13 is opened, so as to provide the user with the necessary brightness to connect an external power source to the power supply. charging 12 when the vehicle is parked in a dark or dimly lit place such as for example a garage.
    In the absence of connection of such an external power source to the charge socket 12 or a user support on the screen 15 after a certain predetermined period, the latter extinguishes automatically to reduce its energy consumption.
    This predetermined duration, for example between 15 seconds and 5 minutes, is advantageously selectable by the user via a touch parameter menu accessible by a dedicated touch button 16.
    Advantageously, the screen 15 will turn on automatically during a user support, the connection of an external power source to the socket 12 or even when disconnected. The screen 15 also has two other touch buttons 17, 18 respectively allowing the user to launch immediately or deferred the charging process of the battery when the charging plug 12 is connected to an external power source.
    With regard to the delayed start, the setup menu allows the user to select the desired type of programming (either by indicating the start time of the load, or by indicating the end time of the load) and enter the desired time.
    Preferably, this setup menu also offers the user the possibility to consult the statistics of use of the battery and in particular the number of charge cycles carried out as well as the average charging times.
    In order for the user to be informed of the current parameters relating to the delayed start mode without having to systematically return to this parameter setting menu, the screen 15 displays above the button 18 a read window 19 indicating the type of programming and the programming mode. currently set.
    Note that when the charging process is in progress, this read window 19 then indicates the time remaining until the end of the recharge cycle. The screen 15 also displays a real-time updated charge level indicator of the battery: this indicator is in the form of a graphical gauge 20 whose filling changes according to this level of charge. The screen 15 also displays a battery charge indicator in the form of a pictogram 21 appearing on the graphical gauge 20 when the charging process is in progress.
    Alternatively, these indicators are of different types. Thus, the charge level indicator may for example be in the form of an indication expressed as a percentage.
    When the vehicle is equipped with a wireless telecommunication module able to send SMS messages (Short Message Service) via a base station of the GSM telecommunications network, the screen 15 is advantageously connected to the latter to be able to order him to send a warning message to the user when the charging process is completed or in case of problems encountered during this process.
    FIG. 3 represents an electric charging hatch 10 'of a hybrid or electric vehicle according to a second embodiment of the invention.
    In the following and in this figure, we kept the same references for the elements identical to the first embodiment and we added a bonus for similar elements.
    The hatch 10 'is similar to the hatch 10 except that the touch screen 15 is not housed in the housing 11' but fixed against the inner face 13Ά of the door 13 '(that facing the wall of bottom ll'B of the housing 11 'when the gate 13' is in the closed position).
    This arrangement thus considerably reduces the width of the housing 11 'and the gate 13' whose dimensions can be adjusted to those of the load plug 12. In general, it is recalled that the present invention is not limited to embodiments described and shown, but encompasses any alternative embodiment.
