Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'articles en fils métalliques soudés comportant une ceinture périphérique.The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing articles made of welded metal wires comprising a peripheral belt.
Ces articles en fils métalliques sont du type à plat comme des grilles. Il peut s'agir également d'articles en volume tels que des paniers utilisés par exemple dans les appareils électro-ménagers, réfrigérateurs, congélateurs, lave-vaisselle, etc ...These wire articles are of the flat type such as grids. It may also be bulk articles such as baskets used for example in household appliances, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, etc.
Les articles de ce type comportent généralement une ceinture constituée d'un simple fil conformé et abouté, sur laquelle est soudée la trame d'une grille ou un treillis mis en volume s'il s'agit d'un panier.Articles of this type generally include a belt consisting of a single shaped and butted wire, on which is welded the frame of a grid or a lattice set in volume if it is a basket.
Cette technique, pour les grilles et pour les paniers, nécessite deux lignes de fabrication : - une ligne pour la fabrication de la ceinture et - une ligne pour la préparation du treillis et pour l'assemblage de la ceinture sur le treillis plié.This technique, for grids and for baskets, requires two production lines: - a line for the manufacture of the belt and - a line for the preparation of the trellis and for the assembly of the belt on the folded trellis.
Le positionnement de la ceinture sur le treillis nécessite un outillage complexe et spécifique pour chaque type de panier. De plus, après soudage, il est souvent nécessaire d'effectuer une opération d'arrasage pour mettre à niveau toutes les extrémités des fils constituant le treillis. Cette opération d'arrasage crée des arêtes très vives aux extrémités des fils, ce qui nuit à la qualité du revêtement protecteur lorsqu'il s'agit de panier utilisé dans le domaine des appareils électro-ménagers par exemple.The positioning of the belt on the trellis requires complex and specific tools for each type of basket. In addition, after welding, it is often necessary to carry out a leveling operation in order to level all the ends of the wires constituting the trellis. This leveling operation creates very sharp edges at the ends of the wires, which adversely affects the quality of the protective coating when it is a basket used in the field of household appliances for example.
La présente invention propose un procédé d'élaboration d'articles en fils qui permet d'une part de simplifier la fabrication et, d'autre part, d'améliorer la qualité des produits.The present invention provides a process for the production of wire articles which makes it possible on the one hand to simplify the manufacture and, on the other hand, to improve the quality of the products.
Le procédé selon l'invention présente également l'avantage de s'accommoder de machines et d'outillages simples qui conviennent pour une grande diversité d'articles. Les changements de séries d'articles peuvent, grâce à ce procédé, s'effectuer en quelques minutes.The method according to the invention also has the advantage of accommodating simple machines and tools which are suitable for a wide variety of articles. Changes in the series of articles can, thanks to this process, be carried out in a few minutes.
Le procédé selon l'invention consiste - à souder, sur des fils constituant la trame de base, deux demi-ceintures en forme de fils rectilignes et parallèles entre eux, - à effectuer au moins une opération de pliage pour, notamment, conformer lesdits fils et rapprocher leurs extrémités en vue de former la ceinture, - à assembler par soudage, bout à bout, lesdites extrémités desdites demi-ceintures.The method according to the invention consists of - welding, on wires constituting the base frame, two half-belts in the form of straight wires which are parallel to each other, - carrying out at least one folding operation in order, in particular, to shape said wires and bring their ends together in order to form the belt, - to assemble by welding, end to end, said ends of said half-belts.
Le procédé selon l'invention permet de réaliser les articles sur une seule et même ligne de fabrication. La phase initiale de préparation et d'ordonnancement des différents fils peut s'effectuer avec une très grande précision puisqu'il s'agit de fils rectilignes. Les fils constituant la demi-ceinture sont distribués automatiquement à partir d'un grand magasin de stockage par exemple, au même titre que les autres fils constituant la trame et/ou le treillis. De plus, ces fils de trame ou de treillis peuvent être préparés à leurs extrémités avec un chanfrein, pour mieux accueillir un revêtement protecteur.The method according to the invention makes it possible to produce the articles on a single production line. The initial phase of preparation and scheduling of the different wires can be carried out with great precision since they are straight wires. The threads constituting the half-belt are distributed automatically from a large storage store for example, in the same way as the other threads constituting the frame and / or the trellis. In addition, these weft or mesh wires can be prepared at their ends with a chamfer, to better accommodate a protective coating.
Ce procédé selon l'invention, n'empêche pas d'effectuer, selon le type d'articles, d'autres opérations comme l'adjonction de fils dans les angles pour une grille ou encore, s'il s'agit de paniers, de réaliser des opérations de soudage complémentaires pour les autres fils du treillis après pliage, ou encore des opérations de soudage d'éléments rapportés tels que des poignées ou encore des opérations de pliage de la ceinture elle-même, etc ...This method according to the invention does not prevent other operations, such as adding wires in the corners for a grid, or, in the case of baskets, from performing, depending on the type of article. to carry out additional welding operations for the other wires of the trellis after folding, or also welding operations for added elements such as handles or also operations for folding the belt itself, etc.
L'invention concerne également le produit obtenu par le procédé et en particulier une grille constituée de fils parallèles, soudés sur la ceinture, laquelle ceinture est constituée de deux demi-ceintures assemblées par soudage bout à bout après pliage des extrémités desdites demi-ceintures.The invention also relates to the product obtained by the process and in particular a grid consisting of parallel wires, welded to the belt, which belt consists of two half-belts assembled by butt welding after folding the ends of said half-belts.
L'invention concerne également un panier constitué d'un treillis soudé puis plié dont la ceinture est constituée de deux demi-ceintures soudées bout à bout.The invention also relates to a basket consisting of a welded and then folded mesh, the belt of which consists of two welded half-belts. end to end.
L'invention concerne également un panier constitué d'un treillis soudé puis plié dont la ceinture est constituée de deux demi-ceintures soudées bout à bout.The invention also relates to a basket made up of a welded and then folded mesh, the belt of which consists of two half-belts welded end to end.
