Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rail guidance for guiding a road vehicle by a guide assembly with rollers, in particular inclined or even horizontal, which work in pairs to ensure the guide.
- Guide rails by vehicle rollers road show different technical forms conditioned by the type, inclination and shape of section of the rollers as well as their conformation General.
- the invention applies more particularly, but not exclusively to rollers inclined in v to tip pointing downwards each with a peripheral shoulder classically said mentonnet to the way of a railway wheel.
- rollers of a couple of inclined rollers are in rolling contact on the sides of a guide rail and in some case they enclose each of the sides of this rail.
- the extraction was carried out by spreading the rollers or by taking advantage of the elastic return force in bringing the rollers together or making them unlocking to temporarily separate them by pulling up.
- This movement requires resources designed to spread the rollers enough to release from their grip on the rail or a constitution and a conformation of these allowing their extraction using a single force vertical.
- rollers of which the peripheral projection or part of their body moves under the linear border of the mushroom are mainly pebbles with chuck whose inclined rolling position brings the chin under this border. It can also be single rollers which roll under the mushroom by example on the soul.
- rollers make it possible to secure the guide, the protruding structures of the rail, namely the sides of the fungus obstruct their lift.
- means must be provided which allow either to modify their inclination, or to move them aside, or to proceed with the two movements simultaneously or successively.
- the present invention aims to provide an interesting solution allowing free passage rollers during engagement movements and rail clearance, when stopped or running, in the case of guide assemblies with a pair of rollers, in particular but not exclusively inclined in V and of the type to lug.
- the invention relates to a guide rail as defined in claim 1.
- Modes of Advantageous embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.
- the multiple advantages of the invention concern the simplification of constitution of the guide assembly, those of the maneuvers of release or engagement of the rollers with the rail, the reliability and simplification of the road circuit self-guided.
- the guide assembly becomes simpler because the means of spacing the rollers are deleted.
- the notches are simple to realize and they don't disturb the movement by bearing of the guide rollers because the depth of these notches can be small and their length limited and therefore the width of the running track of pebbles is only slightly reduced.
- the guide rail according to the invention can assign different technical forms.
- the general inventive idea consists in having provided on localized areas of this rail and in its upper structure or fungus at least one shrinkage transverse to the rail open outwards through which one of the guide rollers can pass during lifting movement of the arm which carries them to avoid any movement of separation or modification of inclination of these.
- the length of these notches may vary depending on whether the movement is performed of engagement or release when stopped or running.
- the guide rail according to the invention has a body 1 of different technical forms. It is invariably consists of common elements of a rail namely a sole 2 with a lower seat plane. This sole is extended by a core 3 terminated by a mushroom 4.
- the sole 2 and the core 3 have shapes relatively classic.
- These shapes consist of two sides symmetrical convex domes 5 and 6 joined linearly in their upper part by a linear area of flat or slightly convex junction 7 forming the central part of a tread table 8.
- the bulge of each side is consists of a succession of two inclined ramps of reverse slope separated by a domed central projection convex 9 or 10.
- these ramps and the central projection are curved and connected between them and to neighboring areas by rounding 11 or 12 developing linearly in space.
- each side this is shaped according to a upper bearing ramp 13 or 14 constituting each a track for one of the rollers.
- Each of the flanks continues downward through the domed central projection 9 or 10 followed by a ramp lower oblique stop 15 or 16 tilt opposite to that of the upper ramp 13 or 14 forming on each side a lateral projection.
- Each lower stop ramp has at its end a connection area constituting the junction with the web 3 of the rail.
- Each track of bearing according to an upper bearing ramp 13 or 14 is inclined downwards towards the outside of the rail while each lower stop ramp 15 or 16 is inclined rising towards the outside of the rail.
- this rail has a conformation that makes it more suitable particularly for guidance and this through a pair of rollers 17 and 18 horizontal or inclined V-shaped with downward pointed tip and 19 20 that is to say pebbles having on their large outer face a peripheral shoulder constituting an abutment contact surface with the sides of the mushroom 4 to limit lateral offset.
- This conformation prevents transverse exhaust or vertical rollers, but also untimely lifting of the guide assembly.
- mints 19 and 20 can each come in rolling bearing contact with the underside of the rail i.e. against the lower inclined ramp 15 or 16.
- the conformation of the rounded end of each side is complementary to the profile shape of the transition between the tread of each guide roller and the chuck.
- the guide rollers 17 and 18 are worn by a guide assembly (not shown) with support mechanical formed by a lifting swivel arm.
- the essential characteristic of the invention concerns the existence of localized engagement-clearance zones each materialized by at least one removal on at least one of the sides of the fungus 4.
- it is at least one, but preferably two opposite notches 21 and 22, each formed by a recess or a recess linear lateral, at bottom 23 for example but not necessarily flat, practiced transversely in the mass of at least one of the rounded sides of the fungus 4 to a limited depth but sufficient for the passage of the lower part opposite the notch a 19 or 20 chuck or two chucks opposite rollers without modification of presentation, in particular of inclination or spacing of these during lifting.
- the depth of the notches leaves on the upper part of the mushroom sufficient space for smooth rolling of the guide rollers. Thus, the depth of the notches should not reduce the width of the roller tracks too much.
- the bottom 23 of the notches can be flat or curved concave according to an opening of shape adapted to the vertical passage of the moving part of the chin vertically and transversely to the notch.
- the bottom notch-like withdrawal shown flat has two longitudinal ends each limited by an entry ramp 24 and 25 according to surfaces with progressive or concave curved slopes of connection to the sides of the rail.
- the length of the bottom of each notch depends goals. In the case of an operation of engagement-clearance performed at a standstill, limit the length of the notch to its most value weak possible, that is to say, it will be preferably slightly higher than required functional of the passage of the chin without modification of inclination of the rollers for their lifting.
- the length of the notches will be greater and function of the linear path traveled over time raising or lowering of the guide assembly. he these are areas for raising or lowering the arm as little guidance as possible in space.
- the notches decrease the width of the rail enough to allow the raising or lowering the guide arm without require modification of the relative inclination rollers or unlocking them from each other the other.
- the smallest width of the rail in these areas allows easy extraction or engagement of the rollers in all cases by a simple vertical movement.
- the limit trajectory when raising the end of the rollers is shown in FIG. 6 by a vertical line in dashed lines. It is important for this variant with release or engagement in operation to provide notch exit ramps shaped so that they serve as a rolling track for the rollers during their notch exit movement. It is the same for the entry in the notch. Of course, the shape of the bottom of the notches must be adapted to the movement of engagement or disengagement when it is carried out while in motion.
- Rail can affect technical forms different in profile. These different forms relate to both known forms and forms original to date.
- single guide rollers 28 and 29 roll on the flanks of the core 3 or 27. It is advantageous to constrain them closer to each other to ensure good guidance accuracy.
- notches in the form of cross cuts in withdrawal 30 and 31 in opposite arrangement in the part top of the flat table 26 serving as mushroom.
- the depth of the notches can and should extend in the first case up to the junction with the extension of the upper part of the core and in the second case, up the vertical projection towards the top of the innermost border of each roller in its rolling position. We thus define a part remaining 32 of mushroom to the right of the notches 30 and 31.
- entry and exit ramps outlet as well as the bottom of the notches can be curved for example according to concave bulges like shown in figure 9.
- FIG. 11 Another variant with flat mushroom is illustrated as a whole by FIG. 11 and shown in enlarged view in FIG. 12. This variant is used with guide rollers 17 and 18 to chin 19 and 20 similar to those already described.
- Each guide roller rolls over the area upper edge 33 or 34 of the adjacent lateral edge 35 or 36 of the flat mushroom 26 produced in this variant in the form of a flat table.
- the pebbles of guides are tilted so that the chin 19 or 20 of each of them is placed under the corresponding lower edge of the side edge adjacent 35 or 36 causing the same difficulty in lifting as resolved by the invention.
- the drawing shows the relative depth of these and the line drawn in a mixed line indicates the limit lift trajectory of the lower end of the chin bar during movements of lift.
- rollers do not roll more on the sides of the soul, but on the edge top of edges 35 and 36 of edges of the table plane 26 which are rounded for this purpose.
Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un rail de guidage pour le guidage d'un véhicule routier par un ensemble de guidage à galets notamment inclinés, voire horizontaux, qui fonctionnent en couple pour assurer le guidage.The present invention relates to a rail guidance for guiding a road vehicle by a guide assembly with rollers, in particular inclined or even horizontal, which work in pairs to ensure the guide.
Les rails de guidage par galets de véhicules routiers présentent différentes formes techniques conditionnées par le type, l'inclinaison et la forme de section des galets ainsi que par leur conformation générale.Guide rails by vehicle rollers road show different technical forms conditioned by the type, inclination and shape of section of the rollers as well as their conformation General.
L'invention s'applique plus particulièrement, mais non exclusivement à des galets inclinés en v à pointe dirigée vers le bas présentant chacun un épaulement périphérique dit classiquement mentonnet à la manière d'une roue de voie ferrée.The invention applies more particularly, but not exclusively to rollers inclined in v to tip pointing downwards each with a peripheral shoulder classically said mentonnet to the way of a railway wheel.
Pour assurer le guidage, les galets d'un couple de galets inclinés sont en contact de roulement sur les flancs d'un rail de guidage et dans certains cas ils enserrent chacun des flancs de ce rail.To provide guidance, the rollers of a couple of inclined rollers are in rolling contact on the sides of a guide rail and in some case they enclose each of the sides of this rail.
On recherche à améliorer la qualité et la sécurité du guidage. Dans les réalisations antérieures, celles-ci sont d'autant mieux assurées que les galets sont contraints en contact étroit de roulement avec les flancs du rail de guidage. Il existe aussi souvent une précharge verticale dont le but principal est d'éviter le relevage occasionnel fortuit en fonctionnement.We are looking to improve the quality and guiding security. In previous achievements, these are all the better provided that the rollers are forced into close rolling contact with the sides of the guide rail. There is also often a vertical preload whose main purpose is to avoid occasional accidental lifting during operation.
Selon ces réalisations antérieures, l'extraction s'effectuait en écartant les galets ou en profitant de la force élastique de rappel en rapprochement des galets ou en réalisant leur déverrouillage pour les écarter momentanément en les tirant vers le haut. Ce mouvement nécessite des moyens destinés à écarter les galets suffisamment pour les dégager de leur emprise sur le rail ou une constitution et une conformation de ceux-ci permettant leur extraction par l'utilisation d'une seule force verticale.According to these previous achievements, the extraction was carried out by spreading the rollers or by taking advantage of the elastic return force in bringing the rollers together or making them unlocking to temporarily separate them by pulling up. This movement requires resources designed to spread the rollers enough to release from their grip on the rail or a constitution and a conformation of these allowing their extraction using a single force vertical.
La qualité et la sécurité du guidage peuvent être notablement améliorées en utilisant des galets dont la saillie périphérique ou une partie de leur corps se déplace sous la bordure linéaire du champignon. Il s'agit principalement des galets à mentonnet dont la position inclinée de roulage amène le mentonnet sous cette bordure. Il peut s'agir aussi de galets simples qui roulent sous le champignon par exemple sur l'âme.The quality and safety of the guidance can be significantly improved by using rollers of which the peripheral projection or part of their body moves under the linear border of the mushroom. These are mainly pebbles with chuck whose inclined rolling position brings the chin under this border. It can also be single rollers which roll under the mushroom by example on the soul.
Si ces galets permettent de sécuriser le guidage, les structures saillantes du rail, à savoir les flancs du champignon font obstruction à leur relevage. Pour les relever, il faut prévoir des moyens qui permettent soit de modifier leur inclinaison, soit de les écarter, soit de procéder aux deux mouvements simultanément ou successivement.If these rollers make it possible to secure the guide, the protruding structures of the rail, namely the sides of the fungus obstruct their lift. To meet them, means must be provided which allow either to modify their inclination, or to move them aside, or to proceed with the two movements simultaneously or successively.
Ces fonctions se traduisent par une réalisation plus complexe du dispositif de guidage et par le rajout de fonctions supplémentaires dans des zones difficiles et de volume disponible réduit.These functions result in a more complex realization of the guide device and by adding additional functions in difficult areas and reduced available volume.
Si le souci des constructeurs de ce type de matériel se limite à la simplification des moyens et des fonctions tout en ne négligeant pas la fiabilité et la sécurité, le guidage que réclament les transports en commun et les sociétés d'exploitation nécessite que plusieurs conditions soient remplies simultanément.If the concern of manufacturers of this type of material is limited to the simplification of means and functions while not neglecting reliability and the security and guidance required by public transport common and operating companies requires that several conditions are met simultaneously.
Tout d'abord les coûts d'acquisition et d'exploitation qui sont considérés comme des éléments conditionnels importants d'achat.First of all the acquisition costs and which are considered to be elements important purchase conditions.
Ensuite, une garantie de fiabilité et de sécurité selon laquelle les galets ne peuvent matériellement s'échapper du rail en fonctionnement de guidage.Then, a guarantee of reliability and safety that the rollers cannot materially escape from the rail in operation of guide.
Finalement, une facilité d'exploitation selon laquelle l'opération de dégagement des galets du rail et le relèvement consécutif de l'ensemble du guidage doivent être simples et rapides.Finally, an ease of operation according to which the operation of releasing the rollers from the rail and the subsequent raising of the entire guide should be simple and quick.
La présente invention a pour but d'apporter une solution intéressante permettant le passage libre des galets lors des mouvements d'engagement et de dégagement du rail, à l'arrêt ou en marche, dans le cas d'ensembles de guidage à un couple de galets, notamment mais non exclusivement inclinés en V et du type à mentonnet.The present invention aims to provide an interesting solution allowing free passage rollers during engagement movements and rail clearance, when stopped or running, in the case of guide assemblies with a pair of rollers, in particular but not exclusively inclined in V and of the type to lug.
A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un rail de guidage tel que défini dans la revendication 1. Des modes de réalisation avantageux sont définis dans les revendications dépendantes.To this end, the invention relates to a guide rail as defined in claim 1. Modes of Advantageous embodiments are defined in the dependent claims.
Les multiples avantages de l'invention concernent la simplification de constitution de l'ensemble de guidage, celles des manoeuvres de dégagement ou d'engagement des galets avec le rail, la fiabilité et la simplification du circuit routier autoguidé.The multiple advantages of the invention concern the simplification of constitution of the guide assembly, those of the maneuvers of release or engagement of the rollers with the rail, the reliability and simplification of the road circuit self-guided.
Tout d'abord, l'ensemble de guidage devient plus simple car les moyens d'écartement des galets sont supprimés.First, the guide assembly becomes simpler because the means of spacing the rollers are deleted.
Ensuite, les manoeuvres d'engagement ou de dégagement des galets du rail ne nécessitent qu'une simple force verticale d'abaissement ou de relevage qui s'exerce dans des zones spécifiques peu étendues de présence d'encoches pouvant être signalées visuellement ou repérées par tout autre moyen.Then, the maneuvers of engagement or rail rollers only require one simple vertical lowering or lifting force which occurs in specific, small areas of presence of notches that can be visually signaled or identified by any other means.
Ensuite encore, la fiabilité est assurée par l'emploi de galets à mentonnet et d'un nombre limité de composants actifs.Then again, reliability is ensured by the use of pebble rollers and a limited number of active components.
Ensuite encore, il devient inutile de prévoir des zones particulières spécifiquement équipées pour les opérations d'engagement ou de dégagement car il suffit d'insérer un rail ou un tronçon de rail à encoches en un endroit donné quelconque pour permettre le changement de mode de guidage.Then again, it becomes useless to plan specific areas specifically equipped for engagement or clearance operations because it just insert a rail or a section of rail to notches in any given location to allow changing the guidance mode.
Finalement, les encoches sont simples à réaliser et elles ne perturbent pas le déplacement par roulement des galets de guidage car la profondeur de ces encoches peut être faible et leur longueur limitée et de ce fait la largeur de la piste de roulement des galets n'est que faiblement réduite.Finally, the notches are simple to realize and they don't disturb the movement by bearing of the guide rollers because the depth of these notches can be small and their length limited and therefore the width of the running track of pebbles is only slightly reduced.

Le rail de guidage selon l'invention peut affecter différentes formes techniques.The guide rail according to the invention can assign different technical forms.
L'idée générale inventive consiste à avoir prévu sur des zones localisées de ce rail et dans sa structure supérieure ou champignon au moins un retrait transversal au rail ouvert vers l'extérieur à travers lequel un des galets de guidage peut passer lors du mouvement de relevage du bras qui les porte pour éviter tout mouvement d'écartement ou de modification d'inclinaison de ceux-ci. La longueur de ces encoches peut varier selon que l'on effectue le mouvement d'engagement ou de dégagement à l'arrêt ou en marche.The general inventive idea consists in having provided on localized areas of this rail and in its upper structure or fungus at least one shrinkage transverse to the rail open outwards through which one of the guide rollers can pass during lifting movement of the arm which carries them to avoid any movement of separation or modification of inclination of these. The length of these notches may vary depending on whether the movement is performed of engagement or release when stopped or running.

un corps 1 de différentes formes techniques. Il se
compose invariablement des éléments courants d'un rail
à savoir d'une semelle 2 à plan inférieur d'assise.
Cette semelle est prolongée par une âme 3 terminée par
un champignon 4.The guide rail according to the invention has

namely a sole 2 with a lower seat plane.
This sole is extended by a

Par contre, les formes du champignon de la première variante, (figures 1 à 6) sont présumées être parfaitement originales.On the other hand, the forms of the mushroom of the first variant, (Figures 1 to 6) are assumed to be perfectly original.
Ces formes se composent de deux flancs
symétriques bombés convexes 5 et 6 réunis linéairement
dans leur partie supérieure par une zone linéaire de
jonction 7 plate ou légèrement bombée convexe formant
la partie centrale d'une table de roulement 8.These shapes consist of two sides
Dans l'espace, le bombé de chaque flanc se compose d'une succession de deux rampes inclinées de pente inverse séparées par une saillie centrale bombée convexe 9 ou 10. De façon préférentielle, ces rampes et la saillie centrale sont incurvées et raccordées entre elles et aux zones voisines par des arrondis 11 ou 12 se développant de façon linéaire dans l'espace.In space, the bulge of each side is consists of a succession of two inclined ramps of reverse slope separated by a domed central projection convex 9 or 10. Preferably, these ramps and the central projection are curved and connected between them and to neighboring areas by rounding 11 or 12 developing linearly in space.
En ce qui concerne la partie supérieure de
chacun des flancs, celle-ci est conformée selon une
rampe supérieure de roulement 13 ou 14 constituant
chacune une piste de roulement pour un des galets.
Chacun des flancs se poursuit vers le bas par la
saillie centrale bombée 9 ou 10 suivie par une rampe
inférieure oblique de butée 15 ou 16 d'inclinaison
contraire à celle de la rampe supérieure de roulement
13 ou 14 formant de chaque côté une saillie latérale.
Chaque rampe inférieure de butée comporte à son
extrémité une zone de raccordement constituant la
jonction avec l'âme 3 du rail. Chaque piste de
roulement selon une rampe supérieure de roulement 13 ou
14 est inclinée descendante vers l'extérieur du rail
alors que chaque rampe inférieure de butée 15 ou 16 est
inclinée montante vers l'extérieur du rail.Regarding the upper part of
each side, this is shaped according to a
Bien que non fortement spécialisé, ce rail
présente une conformation qui le destine plus
particulièrement au guidage et ceci par l'intermédiaire
d'un couple de galets 17 et 18 horizontaux ou inclinés
en V à pointe dirigée vers le bas et à mentonnet 19 et
20 c'est-à-dire de galets présentant sur leur grande
face extérieure un épaulement périphérique constituant
une surface de contact de butée avec les flancs du
champignon 4 pour limiter le déport latéral. Cette
conformation empêche l'échappement transversal ou
vertical des galets, mais aussi le relevage intempestif
de l'ensemble de guidage.Although not highly specialized, this rail
has a conformation that makes it more suitable
particularly for guidance and this through
a pair of

en contact d'appui roulant avec la sous-face du rail
c'est-à-dire contre la rampe inclinée inférieure 15 ou

Selon la réalisation préférée représentée sur les figures, la conformation du bombé d'extrémité de chaque flanc est complémentaire à la forme de profil de la transition existant entre la bande de roulement de chaque galet de guidage et le mentonnet.According to the preferred embodiment shown on the figures, the conformation of the rounded end of each side is complementary to the profile shape of the transition between the tread of each guide roller and the chuck.
Les galets de guidage 17 et 18 sont portés
par un ensemble de guidage (non représenté) à support
mécanique formé d'un bras pivotant relevable.The
La caractéristique essentielle de l'invention
concerne l'existence de zones localisées d'engagement-dégagement
matérialisées chacune par au moins un
retrait sur au moins un des flancs du champignon 4.The essential characteristic of the invention
concerns the existence of localized engagement-clearance zones
each materialized by at least one
removal on at least one of the sides of the
Plus particulièrement, il s'agit au moins
d'une, mais de préférence de deux encoches opposées 21
et 22, formées chacune par un retrait ou un évidement
latéral linéaire, à fond 23 par exemple mais non
obligatoirement plat, pratiqué transversalement dans la
masse d'au moins un des flancs bombés du champignon 4
jusqu'à une profondeur limitée mais suffisante pour le
passage de la partie inférieure en regard de l'encoche
d'un mentonnet 19 ou 20 ou des mentonnets des deux
galets opposés sans modification de présentation,
notamment d'inclinaison ou d'écartement de ceux-ci lors
du relevage.More particularly, it is at least
one, but preferably two
La profondeur des encoches laisse sur la partie supérieure du champignon un espace suffisant pour le roulement sans à-coup(s) des galets de guidage. Ainsi, la profondeur des encoches ne doit pas réduire trop la largeur des pistes de roulement des galets.The depth of the notches leaves on the upper part of the mushroom sufficient space for smooth rolling of the guide rollers. Thus, the depth of the notches should not reduce the width of the roller tracks too much.
Le fond 23 des encoches peut être plat ou bombé concave selon une ouverture de forme adaptée au passage vertical de la partie du mentonnet se déplaçant verticalement et transversalement à l'encoche.The bottom 23 of the notches can be flat or curved concave according to an opening of shape adapted to the vertical passage of the moving part of the chin vertically and transversely to the notch.
Le retrait en forme d'encoche à fond
représenté plat présente deux extrémités longitudinales
limitées chacune par une rampe d'entrée 24 et 25 selon
des surfaces à pente progressive ou bombée concave de
raccordement aux flancs du rail. The bottom notch-like withdrawal
shown flat has two longitudinal ends
each limited by an
La longueur du fond de chaque encoche dépend des buts visés. Dans le cas d'une opération d'engagement-dégagement effectuée à l'arrêt, on limitera la longueur de l'encoche à sa valeur la plus faible possible c'est-à-dire qu'elle sera, de préférence, légèrement supérieure aux besoins fonctionnels du passage du mentonnet sans modification d'inclinaison des galets pour leur relevage.The length of the bottom of each notch depends goals. In the case of an operation of engagement-clearance performed at a standstill, limit the length of the notch to its most value weak possible, that is to say, it will be preferably slightly higher than required functional of the passage of the chin without modification of inclination of the rollers for their lifting.
Dans le cas d'une opération d'engagement-dégagement effectuée en marche, de préférence à petite vitesse, la longueur des encoches sera supérieure et fonction du trajet linéaire parcouru pendant le temps de montée ou de descente de l'ensemble de guidage. Il s'agit de zones de relèvement ou d'abaissement du bras de guidage limitées le plus possible dans l'espace.In the case of a commitment-release operation performed while running, preferably at small speed, the length of the notches will be greater and function of the linear path traveled over time raising or lowering of the guide assembly. he these are areas for raising or lowering the arm as little guidance as possible in space.
On peut aussi prévoir pour les manoeuvres d'engagement-dégagement des encoches de longueur plus réduite à condition d'appliquer la force de relevage ou d'abaissement déjà avant l'encoche.We can also plan for maneuvers of engagement and release of the notches of longer length reduced if the lifting force is applied or lowering already before the notch.
Selon l'invention, les encoches diminuent suffisamment la largeur du rail pour permettre le relèvement ou l'abaissement du bras de guidage sans nécessiter une modification de l'inclinaison relative des galets ou leur déverrouillage l'un par rapport à l'autre. La plus faible largeur du rail dans ces zones permet une extraction ou un engagement aisé des galets dans tous les cas par un simple mouvement vertical.According to the invention, the notches decrease the width of the rail enough to allow the raising or lowering the guide arm without require modification of the relative inclination rollers or unlocking them from each other the other. The smallest width of the rail in these areas allows easy extraction or engagement of the rollers in all cases by a simple vertical movement.
La trajectoire limite lors du relèvement de
l'extrémité des galets est matérialisée sur la figure 6
par une ligne verticale en trait mixte.
Il importe pour cette variante à dégagement ou
engagement en marche de prévoir des rampes de sortie
d'encoche conformées de façon telle qu'elles servent de
piste de roulement aux galets lors de leur mouvement de
sortie d'encoche. Il en est de même pour l'entrée dans
l'encoche. Bien entendu, la forme du fond des encoches
doit être adaptée au mouvement d'engagement ou de
dégagement lorsqu'il s'effectue en marche. The limit trajectory when raising the end of the rollers is shown in FIG. 6 by a vertical line in dashed lines.
It is important for this variant with release or engagement in operation to provide notch exit ramps shaped so that they serve as a rolling track for the rollers during their notch exit movement. It is the same for the entry in the notch. Of course, the shape of the bottom of the notches must be adapted to the movement of engagement or disengagement when it is carried out while in motion.
On a décrit principalement jusqu'à présent deux encoches opposées. Il est bien entendu que l'invention concerne également des variantes à une seule encoche.We have mainly described so far two opposite notches. It is understood that the invention also relates to variants of a single notch.
Le rail peut affecter des formes techniques différentes de profil. Ces formes différentes concernent aussi bien des formes connues que des formes originales à ce jour.Rail can affect technical forms different in profile. These different forms relate to both known forms and forms original to date.
A titre d'exemple, on a représenté sur les
figures de 7 à 12 un rail de guidage à profil en I à
champignon plat 26 du type table de roulement plane,
puis un autre à profil de même forme générale mais
variant légèrement par une âme trapézoïdale 27.By way of example, there is shown on the
Figures 7 to 12 an I-profile guide rail to
Pour ces rails présentant ce type de profil,
des galets de guidage 28 et 29 simples roulent sur les
flancs de l'âme 3 ou 27. On a intérêt à les contraindre
en rapprochement l'un vers l'autre pour assurer une
bonne précision dans le guidage.For these rails with this type of profile,
Ils se trouvent en présentation horizontale dans le cas d'un profil en I ou inclinée dans le cas d'une âme 27 à profil trapézoïdal.They are in horizontal presentation in the case of an I-shaped profile or inclined in the case a core 27 with a trapezoidal profile.
Sur ces deux variantes, on prévoit des
encoches sous la forme de découpes transversales en
retrait 30 et 31 en disposition opposée dans la partie
supérieure de la table plane 26 faisant office de
champignon. Contrairement aux variantes précédentes, la
profondeur des encoches peut et doit se prolonger dans
le premier cas jusqu'à la jonction avec la prolongation
de la partie supérieure de l'âme et dans le second cas,
jusqu'à la projection verticale vers le haut de la
bordure la plus intérieure de chaque galet dans sa
position de roulement. On délimite ainsi une partie
restante 32 de champignon au droit des encoches 30 et
31.On these two variants, provision is made for
notches in the form of cross cuts in
Ici également les rampes d'entrée et de sortie ainsi que le fond des encoches peuvent être incurvés par exemple selon des bombés concaves comme représenté sur la figure 9. Here also the entry and exit ramps outlet as well as the bottom of the notches can be curved for example according to concave bulges like shown in figure 9.
Une autre variante à champignon plat est
illustrée dans son ensemble par la figure 11 et
représentée en agrandi sur la figure 12. Cette variante
est utilisée avec des galets de guidage 17 et 18 à
mentonnet 19 et 20 analogues à ceux déjà décrits.Another variant with flat mushroom is
illustrated as a whole by FIG. 11 and
shown in enlarged view in FIG. 12. This variant
is used with
Chaque galet de guidage roule sur la zone
d'arête supérieure 33 ou 34 du chant latéral adjacent
35 ou 36 du champignon plat 26 réalisé dans cette
variante sous la forme d'une table plate. Les galets de
guidage sont inclinés de telle façon que le mentonnet
19 ou 20 de chacun d'entre eux vient se placer sous
l'arête inférieure correspondante du chant latéral
adjacent 35 ou 36 engendrant la même difficulté au
relevage telle que résolue par l'invention.Each guide roller rolls over the area
Comme précédemment, on peut procéder au
relevage des galets en évitant leur écartement ou la
modification de leur inclinaison et ceci grâce à la
présence des encoches 30 ou 31 décrites ci-dessus.As before, we can proceed to
lifting the rollers avoiding their separation or
modification of their inclination thanks to the
presence of the
Le dessin montre la profondeur relative de celles-ci et la ligne tracée selon un trait mixte indique la trajectoire limite de relevage de l'extrémité basse du mentonnet lors des mouvements de relevage.The drawing shows the relative depth of these and the line drawn in a mixed line indicates the limit lift trajectory of the lower end of the chin bar during movements of lift.
Selon cette variante, les galets ne roulent
plus sur les flancs de l'âme, mais sur la bordure
supérieure des chants 35 et 36 des chants de la table
plane 26 qui sont arrondis à cet effet.According to this variant, the rollers do not roll
more on the sides of the soul, but on the edge
top of
