Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un poinçon pour la formation d'un trou dans une paroi métallique.The present invention relates to a punch for the formation of a hole in a metal wall.
Elle s'applique en particulier à la formation d'un trou dans une armature tubulaire métallique pour siège de véhicule automobile.It applies in particular to the training of a hole in a metal tubular frame for seat motor vehicle.
Une telle armature est munie habituellement de plusieurs trous destinés par exemple à la fixation d'axes de mécanismes de réglage du siège ou bien à l'accrochage de nappes de suspension pour matelassures de siège.Such a frame is usually provided with several holes intended for example for fixing axes seat adjustment mechanisms or the attachment of suspension plies for seat pads.
Il est connu dans l'état de la technique de former des trous dans une armature tubulaire par poinçonnage de l'armature à froid au moyen d'une presse ou bien d'une machine pneumatique ou hydraulique. On utilise pour cela un poinçon par exemple du type comprenant une partie de pénétration dans la paroi et une partie de calibrage du trou.It is known in the state of the art to form holes in a tubular reinforcement by punching the cold reinforcement by means of a press or a pneumatic or hydraulic machine. We use a punch for example of the type comprising a part of penetration into the wall and a calibration part of the hole.
Le bord d'un trou obtenu par poinçonnage présente une déformation en cuvette qui est d'autant plus prononcée et gênante que le diamètre du trou est important.The edge of a hole obtained by punching presents a deformation in the bowl which is all the more pronounced and annoying that the diameter of the hole is important.
On préfère donc former un trou de grand diamètre dans une armature tubulaire par perçage ou fluoperçage. Cependant, de tels procédés sont relativement coûteux à mettre en oeuvre et ne permettent d'obtenir que des trous de contours circulaires.We therefore prefer to form a large diameter hole in a tubular reinforcement by drilling or fluoperimentation. However, such methods are relatively expensive to implement and allow only holes to be obtained circular contours.
L'invention a notamment pour but de permettre la formation de trous dans des éléments tubulaires métalliques de sections variées, à l'aide de moyens simples permettant de minimiser les déformations de ces éléments tubulaires.The object of the invention is in particular to allow the hole formation in metallic tubular elements of various sections, using simple means allowing to minimize the deformations of these tubular elements.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un poinçon du type précité, caractérisé en ce que la partie de pénétration a une forme générale de lame plane, sensiblement parallèle à un axe longitudinal du poinçon, délimitée par un contour pointu formant un dièdre d'arête sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal du poinçon, la partie de pénétration étant reliée à la partie de calibrage par une partie de liaison comportant deux rampes d'inclinaisons opposées, la normale en chaque point de chaque rampe étant sensiblement parallèle à un plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal et à l'arête.To this end, the invention relates to a punch of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the part of penetration has a general shape of a flat blade, substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the punch, delimited by a pointed outline forming a corner dihedral substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the punch, the penetration part being connected to the part calibration by a connecting part comprising two ramps of opposite inclinations, the normal at each point of each ramp being substantially parallel to a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis and to the edge.
Suivant d'autres caractéristiques de ce poinçon :
- les rampes sont délimitées par des plans obliques sécants suivant une ligne sensiblement orthogonale à l'arête du dièdre ;
- les rampes sont décalées axialement l'une par rapport à l'autre ;
- la partie de calibration a une section transversale polygonale, notamment carrée ;
- la partie de calibration a une section transversale circulaire.
- the ramps are delimited by oblique planes intersecting along a line substantially orthogonal to the edge of the dihedral;
- the ramps are offset axially with respect to each other;
- the calibration part has a polygonal cross section, in particular square;
- the calibration part has a circular cross section.
L'invention a également pour objet l'utilisation du poinçon tel que défini ci-dessus pour former un trou dans un élément tubulaire métallique, notamment une armature tubulaire métallique pour siège de véhicule automobile.The invention also relates to the use of the punch as defined above to form a hole in a metallic tubular element, in particular a tubular metal frame for vehicle seat automobile.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins dans lesquels:
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un poinçon selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention;
- les figures 2 à 8 sont des vues en plan du poinçon représenté à la figure 1 montrant des étapes successives de formation d'un trou dans un élément tubulaire, les vues 5 à 8 étant décalées d'un quart de tour autour de l'axe longitudinal du poinçon par rapport aux figures 2 à 4;
- la figure 9 est une vue similaire à la figure 1 d'un poinçon selon un second mode de réalisation de l'invention.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a punch according to a first embodiment of the invention;

On a représenté sur la figure 1 un poinçon 10
selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention,
destiné à être monté sur un dispositif de poinçonnage
classique.There is shown in Figure 1 a
De façon classique, le poinçon 10 a une forme
générale allongée d'axe X.Conventionally, the

d'armature pour siège de véhicule automobile.The
On notera que, dans l'exemple illustré, l'élément tubulaire 12 a une section sensiblement rectangulaire.Note that, in the example illustrated, the element tubular 12 has a substantially rectangular section.
Le poinçon 10 est relié au dispositif de
poinçonnage de façon connue en soi, au moyen d'une tête
d'accrochage 14.The
Le poinçon 10 comporte une partie 16 de
pénétration dans la paroi délimitant l'élément tubulaire 12
et une partie de calibrage du trou T, par exemple de
section sensiblement polygonale, notamment carrée, comme
cela est illustré sur la figure 1.The
La partie de pénétration 16 a une forme générale
de lame plane, sensiblement parallèle à l'axe X. Cette
partie 16 est délimitée par un contour pointu (en V)
formant un dièdre d'arête 20 sensiblement perpendiculaire à
l'axe X.The
La partie de pénétration 16 est reliée à la partie
de calibrage 18 par une partie de liaison 22 comportant
deux rampes 24,26 d'inclinaisons opposées. La normale en
chaque point de chaque rampe est sensiblement parallèle à
un plan parallèle à l'axe longitudinal X et à l'arête 20.The
Dans l'exemple illustré, les rampes 24,26 sont
délimitées par des plans obliques sécants suivant une
ligne sensiblement orthogonale à l'arête 20 du dièdre.In the example illustrated, the
En variante, les rampes peuvent être délimitées
par des portions de cylindres de base circulaire
tangentes aux faces de la partie de pénétration 16.Alternatively, the ramps can be delimited
by portions of circular base cylinders
tangent to the faces of the

pour former le trou T, la lame 16 pénètre dans la paroi
de l'élément tubulaire 12, en exerçant un effort
relativement faible sur cette paroi, si bien que cette
dernière ne subit pas de déformation importante (voir
figures 2 à 4).When punching the
En pénétrant dans la paroi de l'élément tubulaire
12, la lame 16 forme une fente 28 de contour sensiblement
rectangulaire. Les petits côtés de la fente 18 sont
prolongés par deux copeaux métalliques 30,32, détachés
partiellement par la lame 16, reliés à la paroi de
l'élément tubulaire 12 (voir notamment figure 4).When entering the wall of the
En poursuivant l'enfoncement du poinçon 10 dans
la paroi de l'élément tubulaire 12, une première rampe 24
vient en contact avec un premier grand côté de la fente
28 (voir figure 5), de manière à former une première
moitié du trou T (voir figure 6).By continuing to press the

qui reste relié à la paroi de l'élément tubulaire 12.The
Puis, l'enfoncement du poinçon 10 se poursuivant
toujours, la seconde rampe 26 vient en contact avec le
second grand côté de la fente 28 (voir figure 7), de
manière à former la seconde moitié du trou T (voir figure
8).Then, the insertion of the

paroi de l'élément tubulaire 12 s'achève par la mise en
contact de la partie de calibrage 18 avec le bord du trou

La réalisation du trou T par formation d'une
fente 28 initiale puis par cisaillement de deux parties
de la paroi délimitant les deux grands côtés de la fente

efforts exercés sur l'élément tubulaire 12 à percer et
ainsi de minimiser les déformations de cet élément. The realization of hole T by forming a

L'invention permet de former un trou dans une paroi métallique ne délimitant pas nécessairement un élément tubulaire, par exemple une paroi de profilé de contour ouvert.The invention makes it possible to form a hole in a metal wall not necessarily delimiting a tubular element, for example a profile wall of open outline.
Le poinçon selon l'invention permet de former des trous de contours très variés autres que rectangulaires.The punch according to the invention makes it possible to form very varied contour holes other than rectangular.

un poinçon 10A, selon un second mode de réalisation de
l'invention, dans lequel la partie de calibrage 18 a une
section transversale circulaire, de manière à pouvoir
former des trous de contours circulaires.In particular, there is shown in Figure 9

On notera que les copeaux ou débouchures formés lors du poinçonnage d'un élément tubulaire au moyen du poinçon selon l'invention restent accrochés à cet élément tubulaire, si bien que l'on évite la chute indésirable de ces copeaux ou débouchures à l'intérieur de l'élément tubulaire.Note that the chips or knockouts formed when punching a tubular element using the punch according to the invention remain attached to this element tubular, so that the undesirable fall of these chips or knockouts inside the element tubular.
Le poinçon selon l'invention est simple, de faible coût, et permet de poinçonner en une seule opération, au moyen de ce seul poinçon, une paroi métallique, ceci sans que le dispositif de poinçonnage ait à exercer un effort important sur le poinçon et sans déformer notablement la paroi métallique au voisinage du trou formé par le poinçon.The punch according to the invention is simple, of low cost, and allows punching in one operation, by means of this single punch, a wall metallic, without the punching device have to exert a significant force on the punch and without significantly deform the metal wall in the vicinity of the hole formed by the punch.
