Description

  

  Procédé de     fabrication    d'un     joint    de cardan    Le brevet     principal    a pour objet un joint de     cardan     comportant deux mâchoires, dont le moyeu tubulaire  est destiné à être fixé sur un arbre, et un croisillon  dont les quatre tourillons sont coiffés d'un palier à       aiguilles    à     chemin    de roulement extérieur en forme de  cuvette, maintenu dans l'alésage correspondant de la  mâchoire, les mâchoires étant en tôle façonnée de telle  sorte que, au droit de l'alésage, la section perpendicu  laire à l'axe, pour chaque branche de mâchoire, pré  sente une concavité vers l'intérieur.  



  Dans le procédé de fabrication du joint de cardan  du brevet principal, pour former chaque mâchoire, on  découpe un flan de tôle     comportant    deux pattes, pour  le formage des     branches    qui prennent naissance le long  d'une bande pleine, on replie sur elles-même les     extré-          mités    de cette bande, on     cintre    en forme de     cylindre    la  partie de la bande comprise entre les extrémités  repliées, on coude ces extrémités de manière à former  deux oreilles parallèles, et on exécute deux ouvertures  alignées dans ces oreilles pour le passage d'une vis de  serrage.  



  Dans le cas où le moyeu tubulaire se présente sous  la forme d'un tube fendu obtenu en partant d'un flan  en tôle en forme de bande présentant, pour le formage  des branches, deux pattes raccordées l'une à l'autre  par une     partie    curviligne, et en cintrant ce flan après  exécution d'un pliage de ses extrémités qui donne nais  sance à deux oreilles     permettant    un serrage par vis et  écrou, la     partie    curviligne subit des contraintes impor  tantes en raison de l'allongement qu'elle subit du fait  de la différence entre     l'écartement    des branches de  mâchoire et le diamètre de l'alésage du moyeu.  



  La présente invention a pour but de remédier à cet  inconvénient.  



  Le procédé faisant l'objet de la présente invention  est caractérisé en ce que, avant le formage des bran  ches, on déforme la partie de raccordement des pattes  du     flan    de tôle, de façon à l'écarter du plan du flan et  à créer ainsi une réserve de métal destinée à réduire le  taux d'allongement de la partie de raccordement.    On crée ainsi un surplus de matière qui est résorbé  lors du formage et qui évite tout effort anormal dans la  tôle.  



  Des mises en oeuvre du procédé objet de l'inven  tion seront décrites, à     titre    d'exemple, en se référant au  dessin annexé, auquel:  La     fig.    1 est une vue en coupe partielle d'un joint  de cardan par le plan de symétrie de la mâchoire;  les     fig.2    et 3 sont respectivement des vues en  coupe     partielle    du joint de cardan par les plans de  symétrie de la mâchoire et du     croisillon;     la     fig.    4 est une vue en coupe d'un moyeu réalisé  par pliage et roulage, par un plan perpendiculaire à  l'axe du moyeu;

    la     fig.    5 est une vue en plan d'un flan en tôle à  partir duquel est obtenue une mâchoire     munie        d'un     moyeu fendu;  la     fig.    6 est une vue en     coupe    suivant la ligne 6-6  de la     fig.    5.  



  La mâchoire 6 est obtenue à partir d'une tôle  plane dont la partie correspondant aux branches 5 est  cintrée de manière à donner, au droit de l'alésage 4,  une section perpendiculaire à l'axe     XX    de mâchoire  qui, pour chaque branche,     présente    une     concavité    20a  vers l'intérieur.  



  Cette forme circulaire offre, dans la partie médiane  des branches 5, un large passage pour le montage du       croisillon    par     basculement,        passage    qui est augmenté  sur la     fig.1    par l'utilisation d'une surface conique  120a s'évasant vers l'extérieur et faisant suite à une       partie    cylindrique 220a qui prolonge une surface 21a  d'allure torique, raccordant les branches 5 au moyeu  14.  



  Dans les     fig.    2 et 3, le passage prévu pour le mon  tage du tourillon est amélioré par un écrasement local  320a de la tôle, qui est pratiqué sur l'arête terminale  de la branche 5 de part et d'autre du plan de symétrie       Y-Y    et du côté de la face interne.  



  Tandis que le moyeu 14 de la     fig.    1 peut être exé  cuté par emboutissage de la tôle suivant l'axe     XX,    ce      qui lui donne, comme représenté, une épaisseur  moindre que celle des branches 5, le moyeu suivant la       fig.    4 comporte à l'état d'ébauche, à sa surface interne,  une     partie    cylindrique 23 formée par roulage d'une  tôle de     départ    A     (fig.    5) dont les deux bords 24a et       24b    ont été     repliés    sur     eux-mêmes    vers     l'extérieur        en     formant deux oreilles 25a, 25b,

   au cours d'une opéra  tion qui naturellement a été exécutée avant le roulage  de la partie 23. Le flan de tôle A     comporte    également  deux pattes 5a, 5b percées     d'ouvertures    4a, 4b, et des  tinées à     former    les deux     branches    5 de la mâchoire  complète.

   Bien     entendu        les        alésages    4     correspondant     aux     ouvertures    4a, 4b, doivent     subir        un        usinage    de  finition avant la mise en place des cuvettes 2 à       agLee    roulage de la tôle A présente quelques diffi  cultés d'application dans     certains    cas étant donné que:

    -     l'écartement    qu'on veut     obtenir        entre    les     deux          parties    5 formant la mâchoire -     écartement    qui est  fonction pour un     certain    couple à transmettre de la  charge     admissible    sur les aiguilles - et le diamètre de la       partie    23     fonction    du type     d'assemblage    à     réaliser,    sont  relativement indépendants du point de vue de leurs  dimensions     respectives;

       -     par        contre,    si     l'an    se     place    du     point    de vue du for  mage de la tôle, la     partie    23a du contour du flan A qui  a, au voisinage du plan de symétrie de ce dernier, une  forme     concave,    subit des contraintes par suite de son  allongement, nécessaire au moment du formage, allon  gement d'autant plus grand que la différence est plus  grande entre     l'écartement        des    mâchoires 5 et le dia  mètre de l'alésage 23 du moyeu.  



  Une solution consisterait à augmenter le dévelop  pement de cette     partie,    suivant les traits pointillés de la       fig.    5, de façon à assurer un pourcentage d'allongement  plus faible,     solution    qui a     pour        inconvénient    majeur  d'augmenter le     porte-à-faux    des     alésages    devant rece  voir     les    cuvettes à     aiguilles,        par        rapport    au     moyeu,

          ce       qui diminue la rigidité de la mâchoire et finalement la  résistance du joint aux couples qui lui sont appliqués.  



  Comme solution on augmente le développement de  la courbe de raccordement 23a en lui     donnant        une     forme qui     l'écarte    du plan du     flan    A     (fig.6),    de  manière à créer, pour réduire le taux d'allongement,  une     sorte    de réserve de métal.

   Les contraintes de for  mage, au moment de la     formation    du     moyeu    14,     fermant     que le métal perdra la forme de la section initiale       (fig.    6)     pour        reformer    un moyeu     sensiblement    cylin  drique,     suivant    le     tracé    en     pointillés    de la     fig.    6.  



       Suivant    la     description    du     brevet        principal,    deux  trous alignés 26a et 26b     permettent    le montage d'une  vis et d'un écrou qui, après façonnage définitif, par  exemple sous une forme cannelée, de l'alésage brut       constitué    de la     surface    23,     permettront    le serrage de  cette surface sur un arbre cannelé correspondant, de  façon à assurer un bon contact     des        parties    cannelées et  une impossibilité de déplacement     axial.  



  Method of manufacturing a cardan joint The main patent relates to a cardan joint comprising two jaws, the tubular hub of which is intended to be fixed on a shaft, and a spider whose four journals are capped with a bearing to needles with outer raceway in the shape of a cup, held in the corresponding bore of the jaw, the jaws being of sheet metal shaped such that, at the level of the bore, the section perpendicular to the axis, for each branch of jaw, has a concavity towards the interior.



  In the manufacturing process of the cardan joint of the main patent, to form each jaw, a sheet metal blank is cut with two tabs, for the forming of the branches which originate along a solid strip, it is folded back on themselves the ends of this strip, the part of the strip between the folded ends is bent in the shape of a cylinder, these ends are bent so as to form two parallel ears, and two aligned openings are made in these ears for the passage of 'a tightening screw.



  In the case where the tubular hub is in the form of a split tube obtained starting from a sheet metal blank in the form of a strip having, for forming the branches, two tabs connected to each other by a curvilinear part, and by bending this blank after bending its ends which gives rise to two lugs allowing tightening by screw and nut, the curvilinear part is subjected to significant stresses due to the elongation it undergoes due to the difference between the spacing of the jaw branches and the diameter of the bore of the hub.



  The object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback.



  The method forming the subject of the present invention is characterized in that, before the forming of the branches, the connecting part of the tabs of the sheet blank is deformed, so as to move it away from the plane of the blank and thus create a reserve of metal intended to reduce the rate of elongation of the connecting part. This creates a surplus of material which is absorbed during forming and which prevents any abnormal force in the sheet.



  Implementations of the method which is the subject of the invention will be described, by way of example, with reference to the appended drawing, to which: FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view of a universal joint through the plane of symmetry of the jaw; FIGS. 2 and 3 are respectively partial sectional views of the universal joint through the planes of symmetry of the jaw and of the spider; fig. 4 is a sectional view of a hub produced by folding and rolling, through a plane perpendicular to the axis of the hub;

    fig. 5 is a plan view of a sheet metal blank from which a jaw provided with a split hub is obtained; fig. 6 is a sectional view taken along line 6-6 of FIG. 5.



  The jaw 6 is obtained from a flat sheet of which the part corresponding to the branches 5 is bent so as to give, in line with the bore 4, a section perpendicular to the jaw axis XX which, for each branch, has a concavity 20a towards the interior.



  This circular shape offers, in the middle part of the branches 5, a wide passage for mounting the crosspiece by tilting, which passage is increased in FIG. 1 by the use of a conical surface 120a flaring outwards. and following on from a cylindrical part 220a which extends a surface 21a of toroidal appearance, connecting the branches 5 to the hub 14.



  In fig. 2 and 3, the passage provided for the mounting of the journal is improved by a local crushing 320a of the sheet, which is performed on the end edge of the branch 5 on either side of the plane of symmetry YY and on the side of the internal face.



  While the hub 14 of FIG. 1 can be executed by stamping the sheet along the axis XX, which gives it, as shown, a thickness less than that of the branches 5, the hub according to FIG. 4 comprises in the blank state, on its internal surface, a cylindrical portion 23 formed by rolling a starting sheet A (FIG. 5), the two edges 24a and 24b of which have been folded back on themselves towards the 'outside by forming two ears 25a, 25b,

   during an operation which was naturally carried out before the rolling of the part 23. The sheet blank A also comprises two tabs 5a, 5b pierced with openings 4a, 4b, and tines to form the two branches 5 of the full jaw.

   Of course the bores 4 corresponding to the openings 4a, 4b, must undergo a finishing machining before the installation of the cups 2 to agLee rolling of the sheet A presents some application difficulties in certain cases given that:

    - the distance that we want to obtain between the two parts 5 forming the jaw - distance which is a function for a certain torque to be transmitted of the admissible load on the needles - and the diameter of the part 23 depending on the type of assembly to achieve, are relatively independent from the point of view of their respective dimensions;

       - on the other hand, if the year is from the point of view of the forming of the sheet, the part 23a of the contour of the blank A which has, in the vicinity of the plane of symmetry of the latter, a concave shape, is subjected to stresses by following its elongation, necessary at the time of forming, elongation all the greater as the difference is greater between the spacing of the jaws 5 and the diameter of the bore 23 of the hub.



  One solution would consist in increasing the development of this part, following the dotted lines in fig. 5, so as to ensure a lower percentage of elongation, a solution which has the major drawback of increasing the overhang of the bores to receive the needle cups, relative to the hub,

          which reduces the rigidity of the jaw and ultimately the resistance of the joint to the torques which are applied to it.



  As a solution, the development of the connecting curve 23a is increased by giving it a shape which separates it from the plane of the blank A (fig. 6), so as to create, in order to reduce the rate of elongation, a kind of reserve of metal.

   The forming constraints, at the time of forming the hub 14, closing the metal will lose the shape of the initial section (fig. 6) to reform a substantially cylindrical hub, following the dotted line in fig. 6.



       According to the description of the main patent, two aligned holes 26a and 26b allow the mounting of a screw and a nut which, after final shaping, for example in a fluted form, of the raw bore consisting of the surface 23, will allow the clamping of this surface on a corresponding splined shaft, so as to ensure good contact of the splined parts and the impossibility of axial displacement.
