Definitions
- the present invention relates to crimping containers such as cans or analogous, by means of a seamer in which application of the tool (usually a crimping wheel) on the lip to be crimped controlled by the rolling of a roller on a cam formed of a crown on an active sector of which is externally formed a profile of upward ramp and downward ramp.
- the tool usually a crimping wheel
- the manufacture and / or use of boxes can requires one or two operations of setting of the funds.
- the tightness of a box closed depends on the existing tightening inside crimped edges.
- the object of the invention is to remedy this default and suggest a cam modification allowing to have a response substantially uniform over the entire length of the game sensitive, i.e. a response whose rate of non-uniformity is less than 10%.
- this object is achieved when: 0.75 ⁇ Lr / Ls ⁇ 0.80 where Lr and Ls respectively denote the length of the rigid part located in the center of the machined part and the length of the sensitive part of the cam.
- Ls is equal to the length of the cam profile which corresponds to one revolution of the box during crimping;
- Lr is the equivalent rigid length of the measurement area on the cam profile. It is a length which is slightly higher than the length of the cam profile part which has a height hr (see below) in order to take account of the influence of the connection zone between the rigid part and the thinned part.
- hr and hs denote respectively the thickness of the thinned zone and the height of material constituting the cam profile.

- a wheel mounted at the end of an arm linked to a tree swivel definitively crimp the lip of crimping the bottom of the box;
- a mounted roller rotatable at the end of another arm linked to the shaft rolls on cam 3 and thus controls the pivoting of the shaft and therefore the force application of the crimping wheel.
- the cam 3 has an active region 4 in which is formed, on the cylindrical periphery of cam 3, a useful profile, composed for example an ascending ramp 5 followed by a plateau 6 and of a descending ramp 7.
- Cam 3 is under shape of a thick ring with two annular faces flat.
- the tray is at a height hr by relative to the inner periphery 9 of the cam.
- active region 4 we have machined, for example by EDM, two notches 8 from of the inner periphery 9 of the cam and delimiting between them a sensitive part of length Ls, over which the measurement of the force applied by the cam on the roller.
- Each notch is formed by a radial plane 10 and by a concave curved portion 11 connecting the bottom of notch 8 at the central inner periphery 12 not machined between the two notches.
- the bottom of the notch leaves a thickness hs of material in the thinnest area.
- the machined length between the radial planes 10 is called Lu.
- the two indentations 8 separate a central area rigid 13 of length Lr. Gauges of unrepresented constraints are pasted in notches, and are connected to a device of analysis giving a signal representative of the force of the cam on the roller.
- hs The value of hs is determined so that have a level of mechanical deformation allowing optimal operation of the gauges mechanical deformations stuck inside the modified area. In practice, this value is determined by doing a behavior calculation mechanics of the sensitive part so that the stresses and mechanical deformations are acceptable and are not likely to lead to fatigue damage but on the other hand are high enough to obtain a usable electrical measurement signal by the measurement system.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le sertissage de conteneurs tels que des boítes de conserve ou analogue, au moyen d'une sertisseuse dans laquelle l'application de l'outil (généralement une molette) de sertissage sur la lèvre à sertir est commandée par le roulement d'un galet sur une came formée d'une couronne sur un secteur actif de laquelle est formé extérieurement un profil de rampe ascendante et de rampe descendante.The present invention relates to crimping containers such as cans or analogous, by means of a seamer in which application of the tool (usually a crimping wheel) on the lip to be crimped controlled by the rolling of a roller on a cam formed of a crown on an active sector of which is externally formed a profile of upward ramp and downward ramp.
La fabrication et/ou l'utilisation de boítes de conserve nécessite une ou deux opérations de sertissage des fonds. L'étanchéité d'une boíte fermée dépend du serrage existant à l'intérieur des bords sertis.The manufacture and / or use of boxes can requires one or two operations of setting of the funds. The tightness of a box closed depends on the existing tightening inside crimped edges.
Sur les sertisseuses en deux passes, ce serrage est intimement lié à l'effort appliqué sur les tôles de la boíte et du fond au moment de la deuxième passe. Le document US 4205617 A fait connaítre une technique de contrôle de la qualité du sertissage en mesurant en temps réel l'effort appliqué par la came sur le galet actionnant la molette de sertissage. Cette technique utilise des capteurs d'efforts intégrés à la came et reliés à un circuit approprié de traitement de signal, mais la façon de les intégrer n'est pas décrite, or il y a lieu de penser que la façon d'implanter les capteurs influence grandement les résultats des mesures et leur fiabilité.On two pass seamers, this tightening is intimately linked to the force applied to the sheets of the box and the bottom at the time of second pass. Document US 4205617 has made know a quality control technique crimping by measuring the force in real time applied by the cam on the roller actuating the crimping wheel. This technique uses force sensors integrated into the cam and connected to an appropriate signal processing circuit but the way to integrate them is not described, but there there is reason to think that the way of implementing the sensors greatly influence the results of measurements and their reliability.
Il existe sur le marché une came de commande de sertissage en deux passes, dont la came correspondant à la seconde passe comporte dans le secteur actif, intérieurement, un profil (représenté sur la figure 3 ci-jointe) défini par deux échancrures profondes symétriques en coin arrondi dans lesquelles sont disposées des jauges de déformation dont les signaux électriques de sortie sont traités par un dispositif d'analyse pour produire un signal représentatif de l'effort exercé par la came sur le galet, en pratique un signal proportionnel audit effort. A la connaissance de la Demanderesse, ces deux échancrures sont usinées dans l'épaisseur de la came, à l'opposé du profil actif, selon une forme qui n'est définie qu'en fonction des contraintes liées à l'installation des jauges.There is a control cam on the market crimping in two passes, including the cam corresponding to the second pass features in the active sector, internally, a profile (shown in Figure 3 attached) defined by two symmetrical deep indentations at the corner rounded in which gauges are arranged deformation whose electrical signals from output are processed by an analysis device to produce a signal representative of the effort exerted by the cam on the roller, in practice a signal proportional to said effort. To the knowledge of the Applicant, these two notches are machined in the thickness of the cam, opposite the active profile, in a shape which is only defined according to the constraints related to the installation of gauges.
Les études menées par la Demanderesse ont montré que cette disposition n'est pas pleinement satisfaisante en ce sens que le signal électrique obtenu ne représente pas fidèlement l'effort appliqué par la came pour réaliser le sertissage. Si la modification de la came fait apparaítre comme on s'y attend une partie sensible dans la zone active du profil, il s'avère que lorsqu'un effort constant se déplace d'une extrémité à l'autre de la partie sensible, la réponse du capteur n'est pas constante, contrairement à ce qui est souhaité. Elle est maximale lorsque l'effort est au milieu et minimale lorsqu'il se trouve à l'une des extrémités. Le taux de non-uniformité peut atteindre, voire dépasser 50%, c'est-à-dire que lorsque l'effort est au milieu, la réponse du système peut dépasser le double de ce qu'elle est lorsque l'effort est à l'une des extrémités.The studies carried out by the Applicant have shown that this provision is not fully satisfactory in that the electrical signal obtained does not faithfully represent the effort applied by the cam to crimp. If the modification of the cam shows up as expected a sensitive part in the active area of the profile, it turns out that when constant effort moves from one end to the other of the sensitive part, the response of the sensor is not constant, unlike this which is desired. It is maximum when the effort is in the middle and minimal when it found at one end. The rate of non-uniformity can reach or even exceed 50%, that is, when the effort is in the middle, the system response may exceed double what it is when the effort is at one of extremities.
Le but de l'invention est de remédier à ce défaut et de proposer une modification de came permettant d'avoir une réponse sensiblement uniforme sur toute la longueur de la partie sensible, c'est-à-dire une réponse dont le taux de non-uniformité soit inférieur à 10%.The object of the invention is to remedy this default and suggest a cam modification allowing to have a response substantially uniform over the entire length of the game sensitive, i.e. a response whose rate of non-uniformity is less than 10%.
Selon l'invention, ce but est atteint lorsque :
Avantageusement :
Avantageusement encore :
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description ci-après d'un exemple de réalisation de l'invention illustré dans les dessins annexés sur lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'une came de commande modifiée conformément à l'invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue de côté de la came,
- la figure 3 est une vue de dessus d'une came de l'art antérieur.
- FIG. 1 is a top view of a control cam modified in accordance with the invention,
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the cam,
- Figure 3 is a top view of a cam of the prior art.
Les figures 1 et 2 représentent l'ensemble de
commande 1 constitué de deux cames superposées 2
et 3, respectivement de première et de seconde
opération. Comme connu en soi, lors de la seconde
opération qui intéresse seule l'invention, une
molette montée au bout d'un bras lié à un arbre
pivotant vient sertir définitivement la lèvre de
sertissage du fond de boíte ; un galet monté
rotatif au bout d'un autre bras lié à l'arbre
roule sur la came 3 et commande ainsi le
pivotement de l'arbre et donc la force
d'application de la molette de sertissage. A cet
effet, la came 3 comporte une région active 4 dans
laquelle est formée, sur la périphérie cylindrique
de la came 3, un profil utile, composé par exemple
d'une rampe ascendante 5 suivie d'un plateau 6 et
d'une rampe descendante 7. La came 3 est sous
forme d'un anneau épais à deux faces annulaires
planes. Le plateau est à une hauteur hr par
rapport à la périphérie intérieure 9 de la came.
Dans la région active 4, on a usiné, par exemple
par électro-érosion, deux échancrures 8 à partir
de la périphérie intérieure 9 de la came et
délimitant entre elles une partie sensible de
longueur Ls, sur laquelle s'effectue la mesure de
l'effort appliqué par la came sur le galet. Chaque
échancrure est formée par un plan radial 10 et par
une partie courbe concave 11 reliant le fond de
l'échancrure 8 à la périphérie intérieure centrale
12 non usinée entre les deux échancrures. Le fond
de l'échancrure laisse une épaisseur hs de matière
dans la zone la plus amincie. La longueur usinée
entre les plans radiaux 10 est appelée Lu. Les
deux échancrures 8 séparent une zone centrale
rigide 13 de longueur Lr. Des jauges de
contraintes non représentées sont collées dans les
échancrures, et sont reliées à un dispositif
d'analyse donnant un signal représentatif de
l'effort de la came sur le galet. Ces éléments
sont déjà connus de l'homme du métier et ne
nécessitent pas de plus amples explications.Figures 1 and 2 show all of
La Demanderesse a découvert qu'une géométrie particulière des échancrures pouvait améliorer nettement le résultat des mesures.The Applicant has discovered that a geometry particular notches could improve clearly the result of the measurements.
Selon l'invention :
La valeur de hs est déterminée de manière à avoir un niveau de déformation mécanique permettant un fonctionnement optimal des jauges de déformations mécaniques collées à l'intérieur de la zone modifiée. En pratique, cette valeur est déterminée en faisant un calcul du comportement mécanique de la partie sensible de manière que les contraintes et les déformations mécaniques maximales soient acceptables et ne risquent pas de conduire à des endommagements par fatigue mais d'un autre côté soient suffisamment élevées pour obtenir un signal électrique de mesure exploitable par le système de mesure.The value of hs is determined so that have a level of mechanical deformation allowing optimal operation of the gauges mechanical deformations stuck inside the modified area. In practice, this value is determined by doing a behavior calculation mechanics of the sensitive part so that the stresses and mechanical deformations are acceptable and are not likely to lead to fatigue damage but on the other hand are high enough to obtain a usable electrical measurement signal by the measurement system.
Par rapport à l'art antérieur représenté
figure 3, on voit que le respect des proportions
ci-dessus se traduit notamment par des échancrures
8 moins allongées qu'auparavant, laissant ainsi
une partie centrale 12 plus longue.Compared to the prior art shown
Figure 3, we see that respecting the proportions
above results in particular in
