Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the fitting of a cross piece at least locally cylindrical in a tubular piece, that is to say the fitting of this piece at least locally cylindrical in the tubular piece generally transversely relative to the direction of elongation thereof.
- At least locally cylindrical part is meant here a part whose external surface is, at least locally, at its fitting with the tubular part, a cylindrical surface, that is to say a surface which, whatever the nature, circular or otherwise, of the outline of its cross section, is formed of parallel generatrices.
- This at least locally cylindrical part which, for convenience, will be referred to hereinafter more simply as a cylindrical part, may be solid, hollow or tubular.
- a hollow or tubular part it can serve as a housing for at least any other component.
- tubular part a part, which, while being generally elongated in the form of tube, by being open at at least one of its ends, can be more or less conformed, being for example more or less curved or curved, and which, transversely, has any section.
- the assemblies formed of a cylindrical part fitted crosswise in such a tubular part can find their own application by themselves, due in particular to the particular assembly of the parts which constitute them, but they can also find their application in the assembly of other components linked to one or other of these parts, for example in automobile construction.
- a hole is made through the tubular part, perpendicular to the direction of elongation thereof, capable of enveloping the overall outline of the cylindrical part, and, for example with the press, it is subjected jointly this cylindrical part and this tubular part having a relative movement from which it follows that the cylindrical part engages under stress in the hole of the tubular part on one side of the latter however that the tubular part is buttressed externally on the side opposite to the previous.
- this tubular part forming, overall, around its hole, by the very fact of its tubular structure, two partitions, that of these partitions which, during the fitting of the cylindrical part, is located on the engagement side of this cylindrical piece primarily collects the corresponding fitting force and is therefore itself liable to be subject to a certain deformation. If this is the case, the cross section of the tubular part around its hole is modified, which can be detrimental to the quality of the mechanical connection normally provided between the cylindrical part and it, and, therefore, to the holding of all.
- the tool used to do this is a punch whose end is blunt in the shape of a blade, so that, when the fallen edge is formed, the partition concerned is simply pushed back laterally , on either side of this blade. It follows, on the one hand, that the fallen edge obtained does not extend over the entire perimeter of the hole which it borders, and, on the other hand, that of zero height at both ends with a diameter of this hole, its height varies from one to the other of these ends, to the detriment of the homogeneity of the reinforcement obtained for holding the cylindrical part in the tubular part, and, therefore, ultimately, to the detriment of this reinforcement.
- the present invention generally relates to a provision making it possible to avoid such deformation and also leading to other advantages.
- a hole envelopes the overall outline of the cylindrical part having to pass right through the tubular part by affecting one and the other of the two partitions that this tubular part forms generally transversely around it, we form, on at least a portion of the perimeter of this hole, for at least one of the partitions of the tubular part, a fallen edge which, integral with this partition, extends in the direction of the other partition of the tubular part, and jointly subjects the cylindrical part and the tubular part to a relative movement from which it follows that the cylindrical part engages under stress in the hole of the tubular part on one side thereof, however this tubular part is buttressed externally on the side opposite to the previous one, and being generally characterized in that, prior to the formation of the fallen edge on the tubular part, there is inserted in the latter
- the contact surface between this tubular part and the cylindrical part is significantly increased, to the benefit of the holding of the assembly, and, preferably, such a edge fallen on one and the other of the partitions of the tubular part, over the entire perimeter of the corresponding hole, and of substantially constant height all around the latter.
- the fallen edge (s) thus used can be formed by stamping, the spacer wedge present inside the tubular part forming therein a matrix suitable for allowing such stamping, without deformation of the partition concerned. According to the invention, it can if desired be advantageously taken advantage of this spacer wedge for the very formation of the hole initially required therein.
- the spacer wedge is put in place in the tubular part before the formation of this hole, and a hole, in this case a pilot hole, is formed in this tubular part by simple die-cutting. of it.
- the tooling to be used for such a die-cutting is advantageously very simple and inexpensive.
- this tool is advantageously capable of being used on a standard machine, in this case a simple press, and, more particularly, on a simple hydraulic press, without any specific arrangement.
- the present invention also relates, on the one hand, to a tool particularly suitable for implementing the method according to the invention, and, on the other hand, to any assembly, which, formed of two parts fitted in a cross, to know a piece at least locally cylindrical and a tubular piece having transversely a hole in which is engaged by force this piece at least locally cylindrical, results from such an implementation.
- such an assembly is normally advantageously free from any deformation, the spacer wedge implemented effectively counterbalances, from the inside, during the engagement of the part at least locally cylindrical in the hole of the part. tubular, that of the partitions of this tubular part which is located on the side of this engagement.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a set formed by two pieces fitted crosswise according to the invention
- Figure 2 is, on a larger scale, a partial view in longitudinal section of this assembly, along the plane II-II of Figure 1
- Figure 3 is, on a different scale, a perspective view of the spacer block implemented in this assembly, shown in isolation
- FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F are partial views in longitudinal section, which, in correspondence with that of FIG.

- Figure 6 is a partial perspective view of another of the punches also used
- Figure 7 is a partial view in longitudinal section, which, with reference to that of Figure 2, relates to an alternative embodiment of the invention.
- a set 10 which, as is better visible in Figure 1, is formed of two parts fitted in a cross, namely a cylindrical part 1 1 and a tubular part 1 2.
- the cylindrical part 1 1 is, in general, defined as being a part whose external surface 1 3 is at least locally, at the level of its fitting with the tubular part 1 2, a cylindrical surface .
- this outer surface 1 3 is assumed to have a circular contour and to be continuous. But it can just as easily have another outline and / or be more or less indented.
- the cylindrical part 1 1 is also assumed to be full, like a bar. But it could just as easily be a hollow part, and for example tubular, like a socket, to serve as a housing for any other component not shown.
- the tubular part 1 2 meanwhile, has, overall, an elongation direction D, with respect to which the generatrices of the outer surface 1 3 of the cylindrical part 1 1 extend substantially orthogonally.
- This direction of elongation D is shown diagrammatically in broken lines in FIGS. 1, 2, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F.
- the length L1 of the tubular part 1 2 along its direction of elongation D may be greater or less.
- the tubular part 1 2 is, by way of example, a slender part, insofar as this length L1 is relatively large, in particular with respect to its width L2.
- the cross section of the tubular part 1 2 can be arbitrary.
- this cross section is, for example, largely flattened in a buttonhole, substantially perpendicular to the generatrices of the external surface 1 3 of the cylindrical part 1 1. Furthermore, in this embodiment, this cross section is uniform over the entire length L1 of the tubular part 12.
- the cross section of the tubular part 1 2 may on the contrary be more or less modulated along its length L1. It suffices that, at the level of the cylindrical part 11, it has a width L2 sufficient to receive the latter.
- the tubular part 1 2 is, for example, straight or substantially straight. But it is not necessarily so either.
- this tubular part 1 2 can just as easily be more or less shaped.
- it can be more or less curved or curved.
- the tubular part 1 2 has, generally transversely, and, more precisely, generally transversely with respect to its direction of elongation D, for the intervention of the cylindrical part 1 1, a hole 14, which , envelope of the overall outline of the cylindrical part 1 1, the cross from side to side, and in which, according to arrangements described in more detail later, the cylindrical part 1 1 is forcibly engaged.
- This hole 14 therefore affects one and the other of the two partitions 1 5 that the tubular part 1 2 forms generally transversely around it, and, in the embodiment shown, it has a circular contour.
- D1 be its diameter.
- the hole 1 4 intervenes, for example, at a distance from one and from the other of the ends of the tubular part 1 2.
- the two partitions 1 5 of this tubular part 1 2 are substantially flat, at least in the vicinity of the hole 14.
- E be the internal thickness of the tubular part 1 2 at its hole 14, that is to say the distance internally separating one from the other its partitions 1 5 at this hole 14.
- this fallen edge 18 prior to the formation of this fallen edge 18, there is inserted into the tubular part 1 2, a spacer wedge 1 6, also described in more detail later, capable of internally abutting this tubular part 12 in the vicinity of the hole 14. Preferably, and this is the case in the embodiment shown, forming a fallen edge 1 8 over the entire perimeter of the hole 1 4.
- the spacer wedge 1 6 inserted in the tubular part 1 2 intervenes at least in the direction of elongation D thereof.
- the spacer wedge 1 6 is circularly continuous and it therefore occurs without discontinuity all around the hole 14.
- the spacer wedge 1 6 can, for example, have an axial section, a rectangle or square profile, and, in practice, this profile can be most commonly used, this spacer wedge 1 6 can for example be formed by a section of tube, preferably metallic, machined or not. However, in the embodiment shown, the spacer block 1 6 has, in axial section, an isosceles trapezoid profile.
- the spacer wedge 1 6 comprises, overall, in this embodiment, in addition to the flats 1 9, which truncate it transversely at its axial ends while being sufficiently wide so that its compressive strength is not compromised, d on the one hand, an interior surface 20, which is generally cylindrical, and, on the other hand, an exterior surface 21, which has a middle portion 22 which is itself generally cylindrical, and, each arranged respectively on either side, axially, from this middle part 22, two generally frustoconical facets 23.
- the spacer block 1 6 used preferably has good resistance to compression and good rigidity.
- it is made of metal or hard synthetic material.
- this spacer wedge 1 6 even during the formation of the hole 14 of the tubular part 1 2.
- this spacer wedge 1 6 being placed in the tubular part 1 2 before the formation of this hole 14, a pilot hole 14 ′ is formed, in this tubular part 1 2, by simple die-cutting thereof, FIGS. 4B and 4C.
- this fallen edge 1 8 is preferably formed by stamping the partition 1 5 concerned.
- the spacer wedge 1 6 serves as a matrix for the relevant wall 1 5 of the tubular part 1 2.
- a fallen edge 1 8 is formed on one and the other of the partitions 1 5 of the tubular piece 1 2, on at least part of the perimeter of the hole 14, and, in practice, over the whole of it.
- it can, for example, be carried out as follows.
- the spacer block 1 6 is inserted into the tubular part 12, along the arrow F1 in this FIG. 4A, by being introduced into this tubular part 1 2 from one of the ends of this one ci, until it comes substantially to the right of the location provided for the hole 14 to be formed.
- this insertion can advantageously be done without great precision, the spacer wedge 1 6 coming from itself to be centered relative to this location during the formation of the hole 14. Preferably, however, it is ensured that the spacer wedge 1 6 in the tubular part 1 2.
- the spacer wedge 1 6 has a height H substantially equal to the internal thickness E of the tubular part.
- this tool 25 comprises, successively, from bottom to top, a first punch 26 stage having a first section 27, by the free end 28 of which it is capable of cutting a pilot hole 14 'to the punch -piece, a second section 29, with a progressive transverse profile, by which it is capable of ensuring stamping, and a third section 30, by which it is capable of perfecting this stamping.
- the diameter D2 of the first section 27 is much smaller than that D1 of the hole 14 to be formed, while the diameter D3 of the third section 30 is substantially equal to this diameter D1, while being slightly smaller than this.
- the free end 28 of the first section 27 of the punch 26 is circularly divided into at least two lips 31, the edges of which are connected in continuity with one another and thus form the wire or cutting edge of the assembly.
- dihedral 32 which is concave, and whose edge extends substantially transversely relative to the axis of the punch 26.
- the first section 27 of the punch 26 therefore generally has an inverted V configuration.
- each of its lips 31 is cut transversely by a flat 33.
- the tool 25 also includes, for counterbalancing the tubular part 1 2 to be worked, a die 34 hollowed out of a hole 35 whose diameter D4 is substantially equal to the diameter D2 of the first section 27 of the punch 26 while being slightly greater than this diameter D2.
- the punch 26 which extends directly above the hole 35 of the die 34, is controlled to move in the direction of the latter, according to arrow F2 in FIG. 4B.
- the punch 26 successively ensures, first of all, the cutting of the other partition 1 5 of the tubular part 1 2, hereinafter called first partition 1 5, FIG. 4B, with a slight fold back towards inside the edge 1 8 ′ thereof intended to form a fallen edge 1 8, then the cutting of the second partition 1 5, FIG. 4C.
- the punch 26 completes the folding inwards of the fallen edge 1 8 coming from the first partition 1 5, and, as shown in FIG. 4C, this folding is then confirmed by the third section 30 .
- the tool 25 includes a second punch 38 capable of then successively stamping and calibrating the tubular part 12. For the intervention of this second punch 38, and, as shown in FIGS. 4D and 4E, the tubular part 12 is placed on a new matrix 39 perforated with a hole 40 whose diameter D5 is substantially equal to that of D1 of the hole 14 to be formed while being slightly greater than this.
- the second punch 38 is a step punch.
- first section 41 generally frustoconical
- second section 42 generally cylindrical, capable of ensuring the folding of the fallen edge 1 8 coming from the second partition 1 5 of the tubular part 1 2, it has, successively, from the top at the bottom, alternating with connecting sections 43, 43 '... etc., at least one other section 44, 44' ... etc., generally cylindrical, of diameter greater than that of the second section 42, for a calibration, successive, in several passes, of the hole 14 then obtained.
- the second punch 38 which extends plumb with the hole 40 of the matrix 39, is controlled to move in the direction of the latter, along arrow F3 in FIGS. 4D and 4E.
- the fitting force developed is controlled by strain gauges.
- the first punch 26 for cutting with a punch a front -hole 14 'in the tubular part 1 2 and for the stamping of one of the partitions 1 5 thereof. It goes without saying, however, that, if desired, these two operations can also be provided by different punches.
- the assembly 10 comprises, between the two partitions 1 5 that its tubular part 1 2 forms around its hole 14, a spacer wedge 1 6 which, in general, extends over at least a portion of the perimeter of this hole 14, and that, for at least one of the partitions 1 5, this hole 14 is, in general, bordered on at least a portion of its perimeter, by a fallen edge 1 8, which, integral with this partition 1 5, extends in the direction of the other partition 1 5 of the tubular part 1 2, substantially perpendicular thereto.
- the dropped edge 18 extends over the entire perimeter of the hole 14 of the tubular piece 1 2, in one piece with the partition 1 5 concerned thereof, and there is thus a fallen edge 1 8 for one and the other of the partitions 1 5 of this tubular part 1 2.
- this fallen edge 1 8 has, from the internal surface of the partitions 1 5, a constant height h, all around the hole 14.
- this hole 14 is defined by the fallen edges 1 8 of the partitions 1 5, and, more precisely, by the external, free surface, of these fallen edges 1 8.
- the fallen edges 1 8 extend as close as possible to the spacer wedge 1 6, being substantially in contact with the latter. Preferably, even, they are supported radially on the spacer block 1 6.
- the free edges of the fallen edges 1 8 extend at a distance from each other, the height h of these fallen edges 1 8, which is the same for l 'one and the other of them, being less than half the height H of the spacer wedge 1 6.
- the free edges of the fallen edges 1 8 can at least locally be in place in place in contact with each other, to strengthen the resistance to sinking when engaging the cylindrical part 1 1, parallel to the action also exerted in this regard by the spacer wedge 1 6.
- the spacer block 1 6 a maximum compressive strength, both axially and radially.
