Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the marking of objects, metallic or not, such as stamped, rolled, welded, molded or other parts, by means of a point working by micro-percussion along a determined path comprising numbers, letters or other motives.
  • the invention aims to control the percussion frequency in order to be able to reduce it by taking account of the marking conditions, in order to lower the sound level without appreciably affecting the quality and speed of marking.
  • the marking device which is the subject of the invention makes it possible to reduce the frequency of marking to values clearly lower than those most often used. It also makes it possible to adjust this marking frequency as a function of the conditions of use and in particular as a function of the speed of travel of the tool in the marking plane and also of the size of the signs, numbers, letters or other than we propose to realize. This device makes it possible to obtain such results without significantly increasing the mass of the marking head. Finally, it is possible to adjust the marking frequency at any time within a determined interval.
  • the marking device according to the invention is defined in claim 1.
  • the device referenced 1 in fig. 1 has a general shape of revolution around the axis X1-X1.
  • This device 1 comprises a body 2 made of a plastic material, inside which are housed the marking tool 3 and the means enabling it to be actuated.
  • An axial passage 4 guides the tip 5 which passes through it with a minimum of play.
  • a cap 6 closes the body 2 in a leaktight manner by means of a flange 7 and an O-ring seal 8.
  • the head of the marking tool 3 is formed by a steel piston 9 which is integral with the point 5 of metal carbide and which is driven, by a compressed fluid, with an alternating movement along the axis X1-X1 to inside the cylinder 10.
  • the displacement of the piston 9 is limited by a stop 11, of revolution relative to the axis X1-X1, carried by a part 21 itself secured to a fixed part 22 integral with the cap 6.
  • An O-ring 12 placed in an annular housing in the vicinity of the upper end of the cylinder 10, ensures a sealed connection between this cylinder 10 and the piston 9 when the latter is in abutment against the stop 11.
  • a shutter 13 with a cylindrical outer wall 14 is capable of sliding with a small clearance in a housing 15, of revolution relative to the axis X1-X1 and disposed above the cylinder 10.
  • This shutter 13 is able to move between a closed position for which its lower edge 16 is in leaktight support against the upper edge 17 of the cylinder 10 by means of an O-ring 18, and an open position for which its frustoconical bearing surface 19 comes into sealing contact against a corresponding bearing surface 20 the part 21 secured to the fixed part 22.
  • the upper end of the shutter 13 has an annular wall 24, the inner edge of which slides around the fixed part 22 thanks to a sealed O-ring 25 placed in an annular housing 26.
  • the cylindrical movement of the shutter 13 in the alternate closed or open position is caused by cyclic control means indicated purely schematically in CC in FIG. 1, which connect at least one secondary pipe such as 27, 28 alternately with the channel B1 or B2 at adjustable frequency.
  • Track B1 is connected to the same source of pressurized fluid "P" (not shown) as the primary pipe A1 which is connected to the annular space 29 surrounding the connection zone between the cylinder 10 and the shutter 13 when this the latter is in the closed position.
  • Channel B2 is connected to the open air.
  • the cyclic control means CC make it possible to carry out, at a determined and adjustable frequency, the operating cycle which will now be described.
  • the first phase of this cycle connects, along path B1, the upper zone 31 of the housing 15 of the shutter with the source P by the secondary pipes 27, 28. It can be seen that the thrust exerted by the control fluid on the wall 24 of the shutter 13 is greater than that exerted in the opposite direction by the fluid coming from the same source P along the path A1 and penetrating into the thrust chamber 30 above the piston 9. In fact, the shutter, in the open position, is sealingly pressed against the part 21 by the frustoconical surfaces 19 and 20. Under these conditions, the cross section of the lower edge 16 of the shutter 13 subjected to the pressure of the fluid contained in this chamber is, by construction, less than the cross section of the upper wall 24.
  • the opening of the passage between the frustoconical surfaces 19, 20 places the thrust chamber 30 in communication with the purging means constituted by the passage 33, 34, 35 and facilitates the action of the return means which makes it possible to return the piston 9 in the high position pressing against the stop 11.
  • This return means is a fluid back pressure which is established in the annular zone 36 inside the cylinder, in its lower part, below the range of the piston 9.
  • at least one passage 37 is formed in the wall of the body 2 of the device 1 to put in direct or indirect communication the secondary pipes 27, 28 with at least one radial bore 38 made through the wall of the cylinder 10
  • closing the shutter 13 and purging of the thrust chamber 30 are accompanied by the return in abutment of the piston 9.
  • the second phase of the cycle connects the secondary pipes 27, 28 with the open air via the path B2, which causes the purging of the superimposed fluid contained in the upper zone 31 of the housing 15 and in the annular zone 36.
  • the thrust exerted by the fluid coming from the source P along the primary pipe A1 thrust which is exerted on the annular edge 16 of the shutter 13, causes its opening and drives out the piston 9 which brutally drives the tip of marking 5 in the direction of the part to be marked.
  • the entry of this passage is provided with an entry area 39 of increased diameter in which engages , with a small clearance, an extension 40 of the piston 9 at the end of the outward travel.
  • the compression of the fluid by this extension 40 in this entry area 39 ensures effective braking of the tool 3 when the marking tip 5 does not meet the part to be marked.
  • the marking tip 5 is advantageously made of a metal carbide, for the sharpened end at least.
  • the operating frequency of the cyclic control means CC of the marking device is adjusted, so that the duration of each cycle is adjustable in a time interval of the order of 10 to 50 ms.
  • the return of the piston 9 can be carried out by another means than by the action of the fluid under pressure.
