Description

La présente invention a trait à un perfectionnement apporté aux armatures textiles utilisées pour la réalisa­tion de complexes divers, tels que des articles strati­fiés.The present invention relates to an improvement made to the textile reinforcements used for the production of various complexes, such as laminated articles.

Elle a trait plus particulièrement à un perfection­nement apporté aux armatures constituées par un tissu chaîne et trame à base de fils de verre, carbone... .It relates more particularly to an improvement made to the reinforcements constituted by a warp and weft fabric based on glass threads, carbon ....

Parmi les structures de renforcement utilisées lors de la réalisation d'articles stratifiés, il a été proposé depuis fort longtemps d'employer des non-tissés de fi­bres, des nappes unidirectionnelles, c'est-à-dire dans lesquelles les filaments de structure sont disposés sui­vant une même direction, des tissus, des nappes bidirec­tionnelles, tels que par exemple des tissus chaîne et trame, voire même des combinaisons de tels matériaux.Among the reinforcing structures used during the production of laminated articles, it has long been proposed to use nonwovens of fibers, unidirectional sheets, that is to say in which the structural filaments are arranged in the same direction, fabrics, bidirectional sheets, such as for example warp and weft fabrics, or even combinations of such materials.

La présente invention a trait à un perfectionnement apporté aux structures bidirectionnelles du type tissu chaîne et trame.The present invention relates to an improvement made to bidirectional structures of the warp and weft fabric type.

Les tissus chaîne et trame ont été proposés depuis fort longtemps comme armatures de renforcement d'articles stratifiés. Ils présentent comme avantages de pouvoir être fabriqués aisément, d'obtenir de bonnes caractéris­tiques mécaniques aussi bien dans le sens long que dans le sens travers. En revanche, pour certaines applica­tions, ils présentent certains inconvénients qui résul­tent du fait que les fils de chaîne et de trame ondulent les uns par rapport aux autres par suite du tissage, alors que l'on recherche fréquemment à avoir des renforts dans lesquels les filaments soient disposés le plus droit et le plus plat possible suivant une même direction lon­gitudinale et ce, pour former une nappe ou bande unifor­me.Warp and weft fabrics have been proposed for a very long time as reinforcements for reinforcing laminated articles. They have the advantages of being able to be manufactured easily, of obtaining good mechanical characteristics both in the long direction and in the transverse direction. On the other hand, for certain applications, they have certain drawbacks which result from the fact that the warp and weft threads undulate with respect to each other as a result of weaving, while we frequently seek to have reinforcements in which the filaments are arranged as straight and as flat as possible in the same longitudinal direction, in order to form a uniform sheet or strip.

Par suite, de très nombreuses propositions ont été faites pour obtenir de telles nappes, désignées couram­ment par l'expression "nappes unidirectionnelles".Consequently, numerous proposals have been made for obtaining such layers, commonly designated by the expression "unidirectional layers".

Parmi ces solutions, on peut citer celles faisant l'objet des brevets français 1 394 871 et 1 469 065.Among these solutions, mention may be made of those which are the subject of French patents 1 394 871 and 1 469 065.

Or on a trouvé, et c'est ce qui fait l'objet de la présente invention, un nouveau type de matériau, ainsi qu'un procédé d'obtention qui, non seulement présente des caractéristiques améliorées par rapport aux nappes unidirectionnelles proposées à ce jour, mais par ailleurs peut être réalisé de manière simple, économique suivant une technique de fabrication permettant une grande pro­ductivité.However, we have found, and this is what is the subject of the present invention, a new type of material, as well as a process for obtaining it, which not only has improved characteristics compared to the unidirectional sheets proposed for this purpose. day, but moreover can be carried out in a simple, economical manner according to a manufacturing technique allowing high productivity.

D'une manière générale, le nouveau matériau de ren­forcement (nappe unidirectionnelle) conforme à l'inven­tion, se présente sous la forme d'une nappe dans laquelle la majorité des filaments élémentaires sont disposés suivant une même direction (longitudinale ou transver­sale) et il se caractérise en ce que le maintien desdits filaments élémentaires est assuré par une structure fi­breuse qui non seulement est entrecroisée avec les fils unidirectionnels précités à la manière d'un tissu, mais par ailleurs, comporte des fibres qui s'étendent pour partie perpendiculairement entre deux séries consécutives de filaments parallèles.In general, the new reinforcement material (unidirectional ply) according to the invention is in the form of a ply in which the majority of the elementary filaments are arranged in the same direction (longitudinal or transverse) and it is characterized in that the maintenance of said elementary filaments is ensured by a fibrous structure which not only is intertwined with the abovementioned unidirectional threads in the manner of a fabric, but moreover comprises fibers which partly extend perpendicularly between two consecutive series of parallel filaments.

Un tel produit est obtenu par la mise en oeuvre d'un nouveau processus opératoire qui fait également l'objet de la présente invention, processus qui consiste à réali­ser un tissu chaîne et trame à partir de filaments con­tinus (verre, carbone) se présentant sous la forme de mèches, puis à soumettre le tissu ainsi formé à une opé­ration d'aiguilletage réalisée dans des conditions telles que l'on écarte les fils de l'une des directions du tissu sans détériorer les filaments qui les composent et, d'au­tre part, que simultanément on brise une partie des fila­ments de l'autre direction dudit tissu.Such a product is obtained by the implementation of a new operating process which is also the subject of the present invention, a process which consists in producing a warp and weft fabric from continuous filaments (glass, carbon) having the form of wicks, then subjecting the fabric thus formed to a needling operation carried out under conditions such that the threads are spread from one of the directions of the fabric without damaging the filaments which compose them and, on the other apart, that simultaneously breaking part of the filaments in the other direction of said fabric.

Une telle pénétration de manière sélective des ai­guilles à l'intérieur du tissu de départ est obtenue en utilisant une technique conventionnelle d'aiguilletage adaptée pour ne pas détériorer les faisceaux de filaments parallèles de l'une des directions du tissu de départ. Pour ce faire, conformément à l'invention, on utilise des aiguilles dont les barbes ne sont pas disposées sur toute la périphérie de l'aiguille, mais sont orientées paral­lèlement à l'une des directions du tissu (chaîne ou tra­me). Ces barbes peuvent être disposées soit selon une génératrice de chaque aiguille, soit symétriquement de part et d'autre du fût de l'aiguille, par exemple à l'ar­rière et à l'avant du fût si l'on considère le sens d'avancement du tissu de départ à l'intérieur de l'ai­guilleteuse.Such selective penetration of the needles inside the starting fabric is obtained by using a conventional needling technique adapted so as not to damage the bundles of parallel filaments from one of the directions of the starting fabric. To do this, in accordance with the invention, needles are used whose barbs are not disposed over the entire periphery of the needle, but are oriented parallel to one of the directions of the fabric (warp or weft). These barbs can be arranged either according to a generator of each needle, or symmetrically on either side of the barrel of the needle, for example at the rear and at the front of the barrel if we consider the direction of advancement of the starting fabric inside the needling machine.

Grâce à une telle manière de réaliser l'aiguilleta­ge, il est possible d'écarter les filaments constituant l'une des directions du tissu sans les détériorer et, simultanément, de provoquer la rupture et l'entraînement des filaments constituant l'autre direction, de manière à former les fibres qui s'étendent sur toute l'épaisseur du tissu.Thanks to such a way of carrying out the needling, it is possible to separate the filaments constituting one of the directions of the fabric without damaging them and, simultaneously, to cause the rupture and entrainment of the filaments constituting the other direction, so as to form the fibers which extend over the entire thickness of the fabric.

Dans la suite de la descritpion, l'invention sera décrite lors d'un traitement d'une structure tissée uni­taire, mais il est évident que lors de ce traitement, on pourrait éventuellement associer au tissu réalisé confor­mément à l'invention d'autres structures fibreuses, tel­les que par exemple les nappes non-tissées, les textiles, seule l'une des directions (chaîne et trame) du tissu support étant soumis à l'action des barbes des aiguilles.In the following description, the invention will be described during a treatment of a unitary woven structure, but it is obvious that during this treatment, it would possibly be possible to combine the fabric produced in accordance with the invention with other structures. fibrous, such as for example non-woven webs, textiles, only one of the directions (warp and weft) of the support fabric being subjected to the action of the barbs of the needles.

L'invention et les avantages qu'elle apporte seront cependant mieux compris grâce à l'exemple de réalisation donné ci-après à titre indicatif mais non limitatif et qui est illustré par les figures annexées dans lesquel­les :

  • - la figure 1 est une vue schématique en perspective illustrant la manière dont est traité un tissu chaîne et trame en vue d'obtenir un nouveau type de matériau de renforcement conforme à l'invention ;
  • - la figure 2 est une vue de détail de la partie cerclée X de la figure 1 illustrant l'action de deux aiguilles consécutives sur les fils de chaîne et de trame du tissu lors de son traitement conformément au procédé selon l'invention ;
  • - la figure 3 est une vue de dessus illustrant la manière dont pénètre une aiguille entre les fils de chaîne et de trame lors d'un traitement conforme à l'in­vention.
The invention and the advantages which it brings will however be better understood thanks to the embodiment given below by way of indication but not limitation and which is illustrated by the appended figures in which:
  • - Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating how a warp and weft fabric is treated in order to obtain a new type of reinforcing material according to the invention;
  • - Figure 2 is a detail view of the circled part X of Figure 1 illustrating the action of two consecutive needles on the warp and weft threads of the fabric during its treatment according to the method according to the invention;
  • - Figure 3 is a top view illustrating how a needle enters between the warp and weft son during a treatment according to the invention.

Si l'on se reporte aux schémas annexés, l'invention concerne donc un perfectionnement apporté aux tissus chaîne et trame utilisés pour le renforcement d'articles stratifiés, lesdits tissus se présentant, avant traite­ment conformément à l'invention et ce de manière bien connue, sous la forme d'une nappe constituée de fils de chaîne (1a,1b,1c) entrecroisés avec des fils de trame (2a,2b,2c), et disposés orthogonalement les uns par rap­port aux autres. Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 1, le tissu est réalisé selon une armure classique dite armure "toile", mais il est évident que d'autres types d'armures pourraient également être utilisés.If reference is made to the appended diagrams, the invention therefore relates to an improvement made to the warp and weft fabrics used for the reinforcement of laminated articles, said fabrics appearing, before treatment in accordance with the invention and in a well known manner. , in the form of a sheet made up of warp threads (1a, 1b, 1c) crisscrossed with weft threads (2a, 2b, 2c), and arranged orthogonally to each other. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the fabric is produced according to a conventional weave known as "canvas" weave, but it is obvious that other types of weave could also be used.

Dans le tissu de départ, les fils de chaîne désignés par la référence générale (1) sont constitués de mèches de filaments parallèles et se présentent sous la forme de faisceaux disposés côte à côte, les fils de trame désig­nés par la référence générale (2) étant également con­stitués de faisceaux de filaments parallèles (mèches). Dans le tissu, les mèches de trame et de chaîne peuvent être soit de même nature, soit de nature différente (par exemple mèches de fils de verre, de carbone, de fils synthétiques..).In the starting fabric, the warp threads designated by the general reference (1) consist of wicks of parallel filaments and are in the form of bundles arranged side by side, the weft threads designated by the general reference (2) also being made up of bundles of parallel filaments (wicks). In the fabric, the weft and warp wicks can be either of the same kind or of a different nature (for example wicks of glass, carbon, synthetic yarns, etc.).

Bien entendu, il pourrait être envisagé de réaliser des combinaisons de matières différentes, par exemple une alternance de mèches à base de fils de verre et de mèches ayant une autre structure (carbone par exemple).Of course, it could be envisaged to make combinations of different materials, for example an alternation of wicks based on glass strands and wicks having another structure (carbon for example).

Conformément au procédé selon l'invention, le tissu de départ est soumis à une action d'aiguilletage au moyen d'un ensemble (3), ensemble qui est constitué par une aiguilleteuse conventionnelle à aiguilles, adapté, con­formément au processus selon l'invention, pour que les aiguilles lors de leur action sur le tissu, d'une part provoquent l'écartement soit des fils de chaîne soit des fils de trame sans détériorer les filaments et, d'autre part, aient une action sur l'autre série de fils (fils de trame par exemple), de manière à entraîner une rupture des filaments et provoquer une désorientation afin que ces filaments viennent s'implanter dans le sens de l'épaisseur du tissu.According to the method according to the invention, the starting fabric is subjected to a needling action by means of an assembly (3), assembly which is constituted by a conventional needle needling machine, adapted, in accordance with the process according to the invention , so that the needles when they act on the fabric, on the one hand cause the separation of either warp threads or weft threads without damaging the filaments and, on the other hand, have an action on the other series of threads (weft threads for example), so as to cause the filaments to rupture and cause disorientation so that these filaments are implanted in the thickness direction of the fabric.

Pour ce faire, on utilise ainsi que cela est illus­tré aux figures 2 et 3 des aiguilles (4) dans lesquelles les barbes (5) ne sont pas disposées sur toute la péri­phérie du fût, mais sont orientées parallèlement aux mèches soit de chaîne soit de trame. Dans le cas présent, les barbes (5) sont présentées parallèlement aux fils de chaîne (voir figures 2 et 3). Les barbes (5) des aiguil­les peuvent être disposées symétriquement de part et d'autre du fût de l'aiguille soit, éventuellement d'un seul côté, par exemple à l'arrière du fût si l'on con­sidère le sens d'avancement du tissu au travers de l'ai­guilleteuse (3).To do this, use is made, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, of needles (4) in which the barbs (5) are not disposed over the entire periphery of the barrel, but are oriented parallel to the wicks either of chain or of frame. In the present case, the barbs (5) are presented parallel to the warp threads (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The barbs (5) of the needles can be arranged symmetrically on either side of the barrel of the needle or, possibly on one side, for example behind the barrel if we consider the direction of advance fabric through the needling machine (3).

Grâce à une telle manière de réaliser l'aiguilleta­ge, on provoque donc une rupture des filaments de l'une des séries des fils constituant le tissu (chaîne ou tra­me), l'autre série (trame ou chaîne) n'étant quant à elle pratiquement pas affectée par l'action des aiguilles et conservant toutes ses caractéristiques mécaniques.Thanks to such a way of carrying out the needling, a filament of one of the series of threads constituting the fabric (warp or weft) is therefore broken, the other series (weft or warp) being practically unaffected by the action of the needles and retaining all its mechanical characteristics.

A titre indicatif, différents essais comparatifs ont été réalisés sur des tissus de verre conventionnels utilisés pour la réalisation d'articles stratifiés. Il a été constaté, dans le cas où le tissu était traité au moyen d'une aiguilleteuse classique comportant des ai­guilles munies de barbes sur toute leur périphérie, qu'en moyenne on obtenait une perte de résistance globale tant en chaîne qu'en trame de l'ordre de 30 à 35 %, alors qu'en effectuant un aiguilletage orienté conformément à l'invention, soit dans le sens chaîne soit dans le sens trame, la perte de résistance dans le sens du tissu non fini à l'action des aiguilles n'était que de l'ordre de 5 à 10% alors que dans le sens soumis à l'action des ai­guilles, elle était de l'ordre d'environ 70 %.As an indication, various comparative tests were carried out on conventional glass fabrics used for the production of laminated articles. It has been noted, in the case where the fabric is treated using a conventional needle loom comprising needles provided with barbs over their entire periphery, that on average an overall resistance loss was obtained both in warp and weft of on the order of 30 to 35%, while performing an oriented needling in accordance with the invention, either in the warp direction or in the weft direction, the loss of resistance in the direction of the unfinished fabric to the action of needles was only of the order of 5 to 10% whereas in the direction subjected to the action of the needles, it was of the order of approximately 70%.

Un tel matériau est particulièrement avantageux pour réaliser des articles stratifiés dans lesquels on sou­haite avoir des caractéristiques de résistance dans une direction déterminée. Par rapport aux nappes unidirec­tionnelles antérieures, le matériau conforme à l'inven­tion présente, de manière surprenante, la caractéristique de faciliter l'opération d'imprégnation par la résine.Such a material is particularly advantageous for producing laminated articles in which it is desired to have resistance characteristics in a determined direction. Compared to previous unidirectional plies, the material according to the invention has, surprisingly, the characteristic of facilitating the impregnation operation with the resin.
