Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif générateur de vibrations, notamment destiné à équiper la table d'une presse de fabrication de produits en béton tels que des pavés, blocs, éléments de bordures et similaires.The present invention relates to a vibration generating device, in particular intended to equip the table with a press for manufacturing concrete products such as pavers, blocks, border elements and the like.

Il est connu d'équiper une telle presse d'un dispositif générateur de vibrations comprenant deux paires d'arbres équipés chacun de balourds. Les balourds d'une paire d'arbres peuvent être déphasés par rapport à ceux de l'autre paire d'arbres, de telle sorte que les balourds peuvent être placés soit en phase soit en opposition de phase d'une paire à l'autre, permettant ainsi de moduler l'amplitude des vibrations transmises à la table, entre une valeur maximale et une valeur nulle. Ce déphasage est réalisé au moyen d'une courroie crantée engagée, d'une part, autour de poulies crantées calées sur les arbres et, d'autre part, sur des poulies de renvoi montées folles sur un châssis déplaçable dans un plan perpendiculaire aux arbres.It is known to equip such a press with a vibration generating device comprising two pairs of shafts each equipped with unbalances. The unbalances of one pair of shafts can be out of phase with those of the other pair of shafts, so that the unbalances can be placed either in phase or in phase opposition from one pair to another , thus modulating the amplitude of the vibrations transmitted to the table, between a maximum value and a zero value. This phase shift is achieved by means of a toothed belt engaged, on the one hand, around toothed pulleys wedged on the shafts and, on the other hand, on idler pulleys mounted idly on a chassis movable in a plane perpendicular to the shafts .

Les brevets ou demandes de brevets US 4 830 597, EP 0 400 510, WO 92/20467 ou EP 0 600 526 décrivent des dispositifs de ce type.Patents or patent applications US 4 830 597, EP 0 400 510, WO 92/20467 or EP 0 600 526 describe devices of this type.

Certains dispositifs existants présentent l'inconvénient d'être complexes, longs à régler, et surtout sujets à usure.Some existing devices have the drawback of being complex, time-consuming to adjust, and above all subject to wear.

En particulier, les courroies crantées de ces dispositifs ont des longueurs importantes puisqu'elles doivent être engagées autour des poulies de chaque arbre, et les châssis déplaçables ont une inertie élevée. Ces courroies sont soumises à des contraintes de traction importantes et répétées, générant un allongement et une usure qui sont à l'origine de défauts de positionnement précis des balourds en opposition de phase. Les vibrations parasites qui résultent d'un léger déphasage des balourds entraînent, au moment du démoulage, un risque d'altération ou même de destruction des produits frais.In particular, the toothed belts of these devices have significant lengths since they must be engaged around the pulleys of each shaft, and the movable frames have a high inertia. These belts are subjected to significant and repeated tensile stresses, generating elongation and wear which are the source of precise positioning defects of the unbalances in phase opposition. The parasitic vibrations which result from a slight phase shift of the unbalances entail, at the time of demolding, a risk of alteration or even destruction of the fresh products.

L'inertie des châssis déplaçables et la maintenance engendrée par cette usure réduisent sensiblement les cadences de production des presses.The inertia of the movable frames and the maintenance generated by this wear significantly reduce the production rates of the presses.

Ces dispositifs n'équipent en outre que des presses spécifiquement conçues pour les recevoir et ne peuvent être intégrés à des machines existantes.These devices also only equip presses specifically designed to receive them and cannot be integrated into existing machines.

La présente invention vise à remédier à l'ensemble de ces inconvénients.The present invention aims to remedy all of these drawbacks.

Le dispositif qu'elle concerne est du type précité, comprenant quatre lignes d'arbres parallèles, équipées de balourds et réparties en deux paires superposées, et une courroie crantée engagée, d'une part, autour de poulies crantées calées sur les lignes d'arbres et, d'autre part, sur des poulies latérales de renvoi montées folles sur un châssis déplaçable dans un plan perpendiculaire aux lignes d'arbres, le déplacement de ce châssis permettant de déphaser les balourds d'une paire de lignes d'arbres par rapport à ceux de la paire de lignes d'arbres superposée, de telle sorte que les balourds peuvent être placés soit en phase soit en opposition de phase d'une paire à l'autre.The device it relates to is of the aforementioned type, comprising four lines of parallel shafts, equipped with imbalances and distributed in two superimposed pairs, and a toothed belt engaged, on the one hand, around toothed pulleys wedged on the lines of shafts and, on the other hand, on idler side pulleys mounted idly on a chassis movable in a plane perpendicular to the lines of trees, the displacement of this chassis making it possible to phase the imbalances of a pair of lines of trees by relative to those of the pair of superimposed shaft lines, so that the unbalances can be placed either in phase or in phase opposition from one pair to another.

Selon l'invention :

  • chaque ligne d'arbre comprend un pignon calé sur elle, les pignons de deux lignes d'arbres d'une même paire d'arbres engrènant l'un avec l'autre ;
  • l'une seulement des deux lignes d'arbres de chaque paire de lignes d'arbres comprend une poulie crantée autour de laquelle est engagée la courroie, et
  • le châssis comportant les poulies de renvoi est constitué par deux leviers latéraux montés pivotants sur un bâti fixe, reliés l'un à l'autre par une bielle supérieure, l'ensemble constituant un quadrilatère déformable.
According to the invention:
  • each tree line comprises a pinion wedged on it, the pinions of two lines of trees of the same pair of trees meshing with one another;
  • only one of the two shaft lines of each pair of shaft lines comprises a toothed pulley around which the belt is engaged, and
  • the chassis comprising the pulleys is constituted by two lateral levers pivotally mounted on a fixed frame, connected to each other by an upper connecting rod, the assembly constituting a deformable quadrilateral.

Les deux leviers et la bielle ont une très faible inertie, et ne transmettent que des contraintes limitées à la courroie lors de leur passage d'une position à l'autre.The two levers and the connecting rod have a very low inertia, and transmit only limited stresses to the belt during their passage from one position to the other.

De plus, les mouvements opposés des deux leviers, sur un secteur de cercle, s'équilibrent, ce qui permet de réduire au minimum l'inertie du châssis engendrée par ces mouvements.In addition, the opposite movements of the two levers, on a sector of a circle, balance each other, which makes it possible to minimize the inertia of the chassis generated by these movements.

Il en résulte une usure très réduite de la courroie et un positionnement précis des balourds en opposition de phase.This results in very reduced wear of the belt and precise positioning of the imbalances in phase opposition.

Le déphasage est rapide et la maintenance de la courroie est limitée, de sorte que la cadence de production obtenue est élevée.The phase shift is rapid and the maintenance of the belt is limited, so that the production rate obtained is high.

La longueur de la courroie est maintenue sensiblement constante, quelle que soit la position des leviers, ce qui est également propice à la longévité de la courroie et à l'obtention un positionnement précis des balourds en opposition de phase.The length of the belt is kept substantially constant, whatever the position of the levers, which is also conducive to the longevity of the belt and to obtaining a precise positioning of the imbalances in phase opposition.

Le cas échéant, la position relative des deux leviers peut être réglée de manière à compenser un éventuel allongement de la courroie, et à conserver une tension optimale de celle-ci.If necessary, the relative position of the two levers can be adjusted so as to compensate for any lengthening of the belt, and to keep an optimum tension of the latter.

L'entraînement en rotation des lignes d'arbres d'une même paire au moyen de pignons permet d'assurer un parfait maintien angulaire des balourds, au sein de cette paire.The rotational drive of the shaft lines of the same pair by means of pinions makes it possible to ensure perfect angular support of the unbalances, within this pair.

La courroie est engagée autour de deux poulies seulement et a une longueur réduite, limitant également les risques d'usure et d'allongement.The belt is engaged around only two pulleys and has a reduced length, also limiting the risks of wear and elongation.

De préférence, le moteur d'entraînement est directement relié à l'une des lignes d'arbres comportant une poulie cranté et n'est pas monté sur le châssis. La courroie crantée ne transmet que la moitié de la puissance motrice et l'inertie du châssis est réduite, ce qui contribue à limiter l'usure de la courroie.Preferably, the drive motor is directly connected to one of the lines of shafts comprising a toothed pulley and is not mounted on the chassis. The toothed belt transmits only half of the driving power and the inertia of the chassis is reduced, which contributes to limiting the wear of the belt.

Avantageusement :

  • la table vibrante d'une presse de fabrication de produits en béton équipée du dispositif comprend deux carters inférieurs solidarisés à elle ;
  • chaque ligne d'arbres comprend deux arbres coaxiaux équipés des balourds, dits "arbres vibreurs", montés chacun au travers de l'un de ces carters, et
  • les deux arbres vibreurs sont reliés l'un à l'autre et au dispositif générateur de vibrations, par l'intermédiaire d'accouplements souples du type cardan, à deux arbres coaxiaux, dits "arbres d'entraînement", permettant leur entraînement en rotation, dont un comporte l'un des pignons précités.
Advantageously:
  • the vibrating table of a concrete product manufacturing press equipped with the device comprises two lower casings secured to it;
  • each line of shafts comprises two coaxial shafts fitted with unbalances, called "vibrating shafts", each mounted through one of these casings, and
  • the two vibrating shafts are connected to each other and to the vibration generating device, by means of flexible couplings of the gimbal type, with two coaxial shafts, called "drive shafts", allowing their drive in rotation , one of which includes one of the aforementioned pinions.

La compacité du dispositif ainsi constitué permet de l'intégrer aisément à des machines existantes, moyennant des adaptations minimes.The compactness of the device thus formed makes it easy to integrate it into existing machines, with minimal adaptations.

Les arbres vibreurs sont supportés par des roulements lubrifiés, placés et maintenus dans les carters. La température dans ces carters lors du fonctionnement reste faible et stable, malgré les turbulences provoquées par la vitesse de rotation élevée et l'amplitude des vibrations.The vibrator shafts are supported by lubricated bearings, placed and maintained in the housings. The temperature in these casings during operation remains low and stable, despite the turbulence caused by the high rotation speed and the amplitude of the vibrations.

Avantageusement, le moteur est disposé coaxialement à la ligne d'arbre qu'il entraîne. Cette disposition permet d'éloigner le moteur de l'emplacement de moulage, pour l'isoler de l'ambiance poussiéreuse environnant la presse, ce qui est important pour la fiabilité de ce moteur.Advantageously, the motor is arranged coaxially with the shaft line which it drives. This arrangement allows the engine to be moved away from the molding location, to isolate it from the dusty atmosphere surrounding the press, which is important for the reliability of this engine.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, simple et fiable de mise en oeuvre, chaque levier présente la forme d'un V relativement fermé et à branches de longueurs inégales, la branche la plus courte comprenant la poulie folle sur son extrémité libre, et la branche la plus longue étant reliée à la bielle articulée.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, simple and reliable to use, each lever has the shape of a relatively closed V and with branches of unequal lengths, the shortest branch comprising the idler pulley on its free end , and the longest branch being connected to the articulated rod.

Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est à nouveau décrite ci-dessous en référence au dessin schématique annexé, représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée du dispositif qu'elle concerne.

For a good understanding, the invention is again described below with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawing, representing, by way of nonlimiting example, a preferred embodiment of the device which it relates to.

Les figures représentent un dispositif générateur de vibrations 1 équipant la table 2 d'une presse de fabrication de produits en béton tels que des pavés, blocs, éléments de bordures et similaires.The figures represent a vibration generator device 1 equipping table 2 with a press for manufacturing concrete products such as pavers, blocks, edge elements and the like.

La table 2 repose sur le bâti 3 de la presse par l'intermédiaire de plots souples 4 et comprend, fixés à sa face inférieure, deux carters 5 traversés chacun par quatre arbres 6 équipés de balourds 7. Ces arbres 6 sont répartis, sur chaque carter 5, en deux paires superposées, et sont deux à deux coaxiaux d'un carter 5 à l'autre.The table 2 rests on the frame 3 of the press by means of flexible studs 4 and comprises, fixed to its lower face, two casings 5 each traversed by four shafts 6 equipped with unbalances 7. These shafts 6 are distributed on each casing 5, in two superimposed pairs, and are two to two coaxial from one casing 5 to another.

Les arbres 6 sont reliés, par l'intermédiaire d'accouplements souples de type cardan 8, à des arbres d'entraînement 9, les arbres 6 et 9 constituant ainsi quatre lignes d'arbres réparties en deux paires superposées.The shafts 6 are connected, by means of flexible couplings of cardan type 8, to drive shafts 9, the shafts 6 and 9 thus constituting four lines of shafts distributed in two superposed pairs.

Quatre des arbres 9 comprennent des pignons 10 calé sur eux. Les pignons 10 de deux arbres 9 d'une même paire engrènent l'un avec l'autre.Four of the shafts 9 include pinions 10 wedged on them. The pinions 10 of two shafts 9 of the same pair mesh with each other.

Les pignons 10 sont logés dans un carter 11, solidaire du bâti de la presse, que traversent les arbres 9.The pinions 10 are housed in a casing 11, integral with the press frame, through which the shafts 9 pass.

Les carters 5 et 11 contiennent les paliers des arbres 6 et 9, et de l'huile pour la lubrification de ces paliers et des pignons 10.The housings 5 and 11 contain the bearings of the shafts 6 and 9, and oil for the lubrication of these bearings and of the pinions 10.

Deux des arbres 9, un pour chaque paire de ligne d'arbres, se prolongent au-delà du carter 11 et comprennent deux poulies crantées 12 calées sur eux. L'un de ces deux arbres 9 est relié, par l'intermédiaire d'un accouplement souple de type cardan, à un moteur d'entraînement 14, disposé coaxialement à l'arbre 9. Ce moteur est porté par un piètement fixé sur une embase 15.Two of the shafts 9, one for each pair of lines of shafts, extend beyond the casing 11 and include two toothed pulleys 12 wedged on them. One of these two shafts 9 is connected, by means of a flexible cardan coupling, to a drive motor 14, arranged coaxially with the shaft 9. This motor is carried by a base fixed on a base 15.

Entre le moteur 14 et le carter 11, sont placés deux leviers 16 reliés l'un à l'autre par une bielle supérieure 17, l'ensemble constituant un quadrilatère déformable.Between the motor 14 and the casing 11, two levers 16 are placed connected to each other by an upper rod 17, the assembly constituting a deformable quadrilateral.

Chaque levier 16 est placé latéralement par rapport aux arbres 6 et 9 et peut pivoter dans un plan perpendiculaire à ceux-ci.Each lever 16 is placed laterally with respect to the shafts 6 and 9 and can pivot in a plane perpendicular to them.

Les parties inférieures des leviers 16 sont montées dans des chapes aménagées par des parois 18 solidaires de l'embase 15.The lower parts of the levers 16 are mounted in yokes fitted by walls 18 integral with the base 15.

Les leviers 16 présentent la forme d'un V relativement fermé et à branches 16a,16b de longueurs inégales. Les branches 16a les plus courtes comprennent des poulies crantées folles 20, montées sur leur extrémité libre, et les branches 16b les plus longues, faisant nettement saillie au-delà des poulies 20, sont reliées à la bielle 17 au niveau de leurs extrémités.The levers 16 have the shape of a relatively closed V and with branches 16a, 16b of unequal lengths. The shortest branches 16a include idler pulleys 20, mounted on their free end, and the longest branches 16b, clearly protruding beyond the pulleys 20, are connected to the connecting rod 17 at their ends.

Une courroie crantée 21 est engagée, d'une part, autour des poulies 12 et, d'autre part, sur les poulies folles 20, qui constituent des poulies latérales de renvoi.A toothed belt 21 is engaged, on the one hand, around the pulleys 12 and, on the other hand, on the idler pulleys 20, which constitute lateral return pulleys.

Un vérin à double effet 25 est relié à l'un des leviers 16 et à l'embase 15, en étant monté pivotant par rapport à l'un et à l'autre.A double-acting cylinder 25 is connected to one of the levers 16 and to the base 15, while being pivotally mounted relative to one and to the other.

En pratique, les arbres 6 et 9 sont entraînés en rotation par le moteur 14, soit directement en ce qui concerne l'arbre 6 et l'arbre 9 auxquels il est directement relié, soit par l'intermédiaire des pignons 10 et de la courroie 21 pour les autres arbres.In practice, the shafts 6 and 9 are rotated by the motor 14, either directly with respect to the shaft 6 and the shaft 9 to which it is directly connected, or by means of the pinions 10 and the belt 21 for other trees.

Les pignons 10 permettent d'entraîner les arbres 6 et 9 de chaque paire de lignes d'arbres en sens inverse l'un de l'autre.The pinions 10 are used to drive the shafts 6 and 9 of each pair of shaft lines in opposite directions to one another.

Le vérin 25 permet de déplacer le châssis formé par les leviers 16 et par la bielle 17 dans un plan perpendiculaire aux arbres 6 et 9, et, donc, de faire varier la longueur de courroie 21 s'étendant entre les deux poulies crantées 12. Cette variation de longueur permet de déphaser les balourds 7 de la paire de lignes d'arbres supérieure par rapport à ceux de la paire de lignes d'arbres inférieure, de telle sorte que les balourds 7 peuvent être placés soit en phase soit en opposition de phase d'une paire à l'autre, permettant ainsi de moduler l'amplitude des vibrations transmises à la table 2, entre une valeur maximale et une valeur nulle.The jack 25 makes it possible to move the chassis formed by the levers 16 and by the connecting rod 17 in a plane perpendicular to the shafts 6 and 9, and, therefore, to vary the length of the belt 21 extending between the two toothed pulleys 12. This variation in length makes it possible to phase the unbalances 7 of the pair of upper shaft lines relative to those of the pair of lower shaft lines, so that the unbalances 7 can be placed either in phase or in opposition to phase from one pair to another, thus making it possible to modulate the amplitude of the vibrations transmitted to table 2, between a maximum value and a zero value.

Les deux leviers pivotants 16 et la bielle 17 ont une très faible inertie, et ne transmettent que des contraintes limitées à la courroie 21 lors de leur passage d'une position à l'autre. Ils permettent ainsi de limiter considérablement l'usure de la courroie 21 et assurent un positionnement précis des balourds 7 en opposition de phase.The two pivoting levers 16 and the connecting rod 17 have a very low inertia, and transmit only limited stresses to the belt 21 when they pass from one position to the other. They thus make it possible to considerably limit the wear of the belt 21 and ensure precise positioning of the unbalances 7 in phase opposition.

De plus, les mouvements opposés des deux leviers 16, sur un secteur de cercle, s'équilibrent, ce qui permet de réduire au minimum l'inertie du châssis engendrée par ces mouvements.In addition, the opposite movements of the two levers 16, on a sector of a circle, balance each other, which makes it possible to minimize the inertia of the chassis generated by these movements.

Il en résulte une usure très réduite de la courroie 21 et un positionnement précis des balourds 7 en opposition de phase.This results in very reduced wear of the belt 21 and a precise positioning of the unbalances 7 in phase opposition.

Le déphasage est rapide et la maintenance de la courroie 21 est limitée, de sorte que la cadence de production obtenue est élevée.The phase shift is rapid and the maintenance of the belt 21 is limited, so that the production rate obtained is high.

La longueur de la courroie 21 est maintenue sensiblement constante, quelle que soient la position de ces leviers 16, ce qui est propice à la longévité de la courroie 21 et à l'obtention d'un positionnement précis des balourds en opposition de phase.The length of the belt 21 is kept substantially constant, whatever the position of these levers 16, which is conducive to the longevity of the belt 21 and obtaining a precise positioning of the imbalances in phase opposition.

L'entraînement en rotation des arbres 6 et 9 d'une même paire au moyen des pignons 10 permet d'assurer un parfait maintien angulaire des balourds 7, au sein de cette paire.The rotational drive of the shafts 6 and 9 of the same pair by means of the pinions 10 ensures perfect angular support of the unbalances 7, within this pair.

La courroie 21 est engagée autour de deux poulies 12 seulement, a une longueur réduite et ne transmet aux arbres que la moitié de la puissance motrice, ce qui contribue également à limiter les risques d'usure et d'allongement.The belt 21 is engaged around only two pulleys 12, has a reduced length and transmits to the trees only half of the driving power, which also contributes to limiting the risks of wear and elongation.

Le moteur est éloigné de l'emplacement de moulage, et est donc isolé de l'ambiance poussiéreuse environnant la presse.The motor is far from the molding location, and is therefore isolated from the dusty environment surrounding the press.

Le dispositif 1 est compact et peut être intégré aisément à des machines existantes, moyennant des adaptations minimes.The device 1 is compact and can be easily integrated into existing machines, with minimal adaptations.

De plus, la température dans les carters 5 et 11 lors du fonctionnement reste faible et stable.In addition, the temperature in the casings 5 and 11 during operation remains low and stable.
