Abstract
Description
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé de différenciation ou repèrage de deux pièces ressemblantes réalisées à partir d'ébauches identiques, et concerne plus particulièrement un marquage ou repèrage apposé sur de telles pièces.The present invention relates to a process for differentiating or locating two similar parts made from identical blanks, and more particularly relates to marking or locating affixed to such parts.
Pour éviter les confusions lors de l'usinage ou du montage de deux pièces ressemblantes, il est courant d'effectuer un marquage spécifique sur les ébauches servant à la réalisation de ces pièces pour les différencier l'une de l'autre. Dans le cas de grandes séries, un tel marquage oblige à réaliser plusieurs séries d'ébauches différentes, ce qui augmente le volume d'ébauches à stocker ainsi que les coûts de production.To avoid confusion during the machining or assembly of two similar parts, it is common to make a specific marking on the blanks used to make these parts to differentiate them from one another. In the case of large series, such marking requires the production of several different series of blanks, which increases the volume of blanks to be stored as well as the production costs.
Une autre solution connue consiste à apposer un signe distinctif sur les pièces après usinage des ébauches, par exemple au pinceau ou par poinçonnage. Cependant, cette solution ajoute une opération au processus de réalisation des pièces et accroît en conséquence les risques d'erreurs.Another known solution consists in affixing a distinctive sign on the parts after machining the blanks, for example with a brush or by punching. However, this solution adds an operation to the parts production process and consequently increases the risk of errors.
L'invention a donc pour but de proposer un procédé de différenciation de deux pièces ressemblantes réalisées à partir d'ébauches brutes identiques par usinage de parties différentes selon la pièce à obtenir, qui soit peu coûteux, d'exécution rapide et sans risque d'erreur.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a method for differentiating two similar parts produced from identical rough blanks by machining different parts according to the part to be obtained, which is inexpensive, of rapid execution and without risk of fault.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un procédé de repérage de deux pièces ressemblantes réalisées à partir d'ébauches brutes identiques par usinage de parties différentes selon la pièce à obtenir, du type consistant à apposer sur chaque pièce un marquage spécifique, caractérisé en ce que chaque ébauche subit l'apposition des deux marquages spécifiques avec le marquage correspondant à l'une des pièces situé à l'emplacement d'une partie à usiner pour la réalisation de l'autre pièce, suite à quoi l'une des deux parties marquées est usinée pour laisser sur la pièce ainsi obtenue le marquage correspondant à cette pièce seulement.To this end, the subject of the invention is a method of locating two similar parts produced from identical rough blanks by machining different parts according to the part to be obtained, of the type consisting in affixing to each part a specific marking, characterized in that each blank undergoes the affixing of the two specific markings with the marking corresponding to one of the parts located at the location of a part to be machined for the production of the other part, after which one of the two marked parts is machined to leave the corresponding marking on the part thus obtained to this room only.
Ce procédé est encore caractérisé en ce que les marquages sont venus de moulage ou de forgeage avec l'ébauche brute.This process is further characterized in that the markings came from molding or forging with the rough blank.
L'invention se caractérise en ce que chaque marquage est constitué par un signe identifiable au mieux si l'ébauche ou la pièce est disposée similairement à sa position d'usinage et/ou de montage.The invention is characterized in that each marking consists of a sign which can be identified at best if the blank or the part is arranged similarly to its machining and / or mounting position.
L'invention a également pour objet une pièce obtenue par usinage d'une partie d'ébauche brute, caractérisée en ce qu'elle peut être différenciée d'une deuxième pièce obtenue par usinage d'une autre partie d'une ébauche identique suivant le procédé décrit.The subject of the invention is also a part obtained by machining a part of the rough blank, characterized in that it can be differentiated from a second part obtained by machining another part of an identical blank according to the described process.
Mais d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront mieux de la description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation donné uniquement à titre d'exemple, qui suit et se réfère aux dessins annexés, dans lesquels :However, other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the detailed description of an embodiment given solely by way of example, which follows and refers to the appended drawings, in which:
La figure 1 est une vue en plan d'une ébauche brute permettant la réalisation d'une pièce conforme à la présente invention .Figure 1 is a plan view of a rough blank allowing the production of a part according to the present invention.
La figure 2 est une vue en perspective brisée d'un montage comprenant deux pièces ressemblantes, repérées suivant le procédé conforme à l'invention.Figure 2 is a broken perspective view of an assembly comprising two similar parts, identified according to the method according to the invention.
En se reportant à la figure 1, on voit une ébauche brute 1 de forme plane et ayant un contour sensiblement trapézoïdal. L'ébauche 1 est sensiblement symétrique par rapport à son axe longitudinal X-X′. Cette ébauche comporte un perçage 11 centré sur l'axe X-X′ ainsi que deux perçages 12, 13 formés symétriquement de part et d'autre de cet axe, à proximité de l'extrémité de plus grande largeur du trapèze.Referring to Figure 1, we see a draft rough 1 of planar shape and having a substantially trapezoidal contour. The blank 1 is substantially symmetrical with respect to its longitudinal axis XX ′. This blank comprises a
Sur la figure 2, on a représenté un exemple de montage de deux pièces 1G et 1D respectivement gauche et droite, qui ont chacune été réalisées à partir d'ébauches brutes 1 identiques à celle qui vient d'être décrite.In Figure 2, there is shown an example of mounting two
Plus précisément, la pièce gauche 1G a été obtenue par usinage d'une partie 3G qui la différencie de la pièce droite 1D réalisée par usinage dans une autre ébauche 1 d'une partie 3D. Sur les figures, les parties de différenciation 3G et 3D sont des perçages débouchants.More specifically, the
On remarque également sur la figure 2 que des marquages 4G et 4D respectivement spécifiques aux pièces 1G et 1D sont apposés sur celles-ci, afin de les distinguer l'une de l'autre.It is also noted in FIG. 2 that
Conformément à l'invention, le procédé de repérage ou différenciation des pièces 1G et 1D consiste à apposer sur chaque ébauche les marquages spécifiques correspondants aux deux pièces réalisables à partir de cette ébauche, de façon que le marquage correspondant à l'une des pièces est situé à l'emplacement de la partie à usiner pour réaliser l'autre pièce, puis à effectuer cet usinage pour ne laisser sur la pièce ainsi obtenue que le marquage 4G ou 4D correspondant à cette pièce.According to the invention, the method of locating or differentiating
En d'autres termes, le marquage 4G est apposé sur l'ébauche 1 à l'emplacement où peut être usiné le perçage 3D pour obtenir une pièce 1D, tandis que le marquage 4D est apposé à l'emplacement où peut être usiné le perçage 3G pour obtenir une pièce 1G. Grâce au procédé propre à l'invention, lorsqu'une pièce 1D doit être réalisée à partir d'une ébauche 1, le marquage 4G disparaît lors de l'usinage de la partie 3D, alors que si une pièce 1G doit être réalisée, le marquage 4D disparaît lors de l'usinage de la partie 3G.In other words, the 4G marking is affixed on the blank 1 at the location where the 3D drilling to obtain a 1D part, while the 4D marking is affixed at the location where the 3G drilling can be machined to obtain a 1G part. Thanks to the process specific to the invention, when a 1D part must be produced from a blank 1, the 4G marking disappears during the machining of the 3D part, whereas if a 1G part must be produced, the 4D marking disappears during machining of the 3G part.
Bien que sur les figures les parties 3G et 3D sont des perçages, d'autres types d'usinages tels que fraisage, lamage, découpe ou analogues peuvent également être réalisés pour différencier les pièces 1G et 1D, tant que ces usinages permettent de faire disparaître le marquage qui ne correspond pas à la pièce que l'on désire obtenir.Although in the figures the 3G and 3D parts are holes, other types of machining such as milling, countersinking, cutting or the like can also be carried out to differentiate the
Suivant l'exemple visible sur la figure 1, les marquages 4G, 4D sont venus de forgeage avec l'ébauche 1. Evidemment, dans le cas d'une ébauche brute réalisée par moulage, les marquages pourront être venus de fonderie en prévoyant dans le moule des empreintes appropriées.Following the example visible in FIG. 1, the
En se reportant à la figure 2, on voit que deux pièces ou plaques 1G, 1D réalisées à partir d'ébauches identiques à 1 et repérées suivant le procédé décrit plus haut, sont montées sur un train arrière 5 de véhicule automobile par l'intermédiaire de bras de liaison 6G, 6D respectivement. Sur les pièces 1G, 1D conformes à l'invention, les marquages sont une lettre "G" pour la pièce gauche et une lettre "D" pour la pièce droite. Comme visible sur la figure 1, ces marquages 4G, 4D sont donc respectivement constitués par un signe identifiable au mieux si la pièce est orientée d'une manière similaire à sa position de montage, afin de simplifier leur montage sur les bras du train arrière 5. De même, ces signes identifiables peuvent faciliter le positionnement des ébauches brutes 1 sur un poste d'usinage, par exemple pour la réalisation des perçages 3G, 3D.Referring to Figure 2, we see that two parts or
On a donc obtenu conformément à l'invention un procédé de repérage de deux pièces ressemblantes qui est rapide puisqu'il permet à la fois d'effectuer les usinages de différenciation et d'effacer les marquages inutiles sur la pièce correspondante. On comprend bien que grâce au procédé conforme à l'invention, l'opération d'apposition des marquages est grandement simplifiée et que la reconnaissance de la pièce que l'on désire usiner ainsi que la détermination de sa position peuvent être effectuées aisément par une simple observation. Par ailleurs, les marquages et les usinages réalisés sur les pièces peuvent être prévus de façon à pouvoir être détectés par robot, afin d'effectuer automatiquement le positionnement et l'usinage des ébauches ou pièces.We therefore obtained in accordance with the invention a method of locating two similar parts which is rapid since it makes it possible both to perform differentiation machining and to erase unnecessary markings on the corresponding part. We understand that thanks to the method according to the invention, the operation of affixing the markings is greatly simplified and that the recognition of the part which it is desired to machine as well as the determination of its position can be carried out easily by a simple observation. In addition, the markings and the machining carried out on the parts can be provided so as to be able to be detected by robot, in order to automatically carry out the positioning and the machining of the blanks or parts.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment which has just been described.
Au contraire, tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons sont compris dans l'invention s'ils sont réalisés suivant son esprit.On the contrary, all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations are included in the invention if they are made according to the spirit.
