Description

TRIBOMETRE A DISQUE AVEC CHAUFFAGE PAR INDUCTION DISC TRIBOMETER WITH INDUCTION HEATING
La présente invention concerne le domaine des équipements de métrologie et plus particulièrement des tribo ètres .The present invention relates to the field of metrology equipment and more particularly tribo meters.
De tels équipements sont destinés à la mesure des phénomènes mécaniques, tribologiques et thermiques se produisant entre deux corps en mouvement frottant l'un contre l'autre, ainsi que de l'influence de matériaux interposés entre deux corps en mouvement relatif.Such equipment is intended for the measurement of mechanical, tribological and thermal phenomena occurring between two bodies in motion rubbing against each other, as well as the influence of materials interposed between two bodies in relative motion.
Le principe général de tels équipements est bien connu. On connaît par exemple le un tribomètre décrit dans le brevet français FR2660756 concernant un dispositif pour l'amélioration de l'évaluation des performances d'un lubrifiant. Ce dispositif permet de mettre en charge une pièce mobile sur une pièce fixe en contact ponctuel, linéaire ou surfacique en présence d'un lubrifiant. Un vérin agit sur l'une des pièces en contact. Des capteurs d'effort mesure la force appliquée.The general principle of such equipment is well known. The tribometer described in French patent FR2660756, for example, is known for a device for improving the evaluation of the performance of a lubricant. This device makes it possible to load a moving part on a fixed part in punctual, linear or surface contact in the presence of a lubricant. A cylinder acts on one of the parts in contact. Force sensors measure the force applied.
Un autre brevet français FR2685774 décrit un dispositif comprenant un ensemble fixe formé par un caisson et une première électrobroche motrice verticale entraînant un premier disque. Un ensemble mobile comprend un second caisson supportant une seconde électrobroche qui peut pivoter autour d'un axe d'articulation. D'autres tribomètres sont décrit dans les brevets japonais JP1006581, JP06281563 ou JP62278427, anglais GB2232091 ou américain US4914958.Another French patent FR2685774 describes a device comprising a fixed assembly formed by a box and a first vertical drive electrospindle driving a first disc. A mobile assembly includes a second box supporting a second electrospindle which can pivot around an axis of articulation. Other tribometers are described in Japanese patents JP1006581, JP06281563 or JP62278427, English GB2232091 or American US4914958.
Certaines mesures nécessitent la mise en température de l'une ou des deux éprouvettes en contact.Some measurements require that one or both of the test specimens come into contact with each other.
Pour cela, il est connu de procéder préalablement au chauffage des éprouvettes avant qu'elles ne soient placées sur les supports d'entraînement.For this, it is known to proceed before heating the test pieces before they are placed on the drive supports.
Le problème qui se pose est celui du contrôle précis de la température, et celui du maintien d'un différentiel de température entre les deux éprouvettes en contact.The problem is that of precise temperature control, and that of maintaining a temperature differential between the two test specimens in contact.
On connaît certes dans 1 ' état de la technique le brevet japonais JP07113735. Ce document concerne l'utilisation d'une bobine d'induction, non pas pour assurer le chauffage de l'une des éprouvettes pendant une période de test par un tribomètre, mais pour dénaturer le matériau par des cycles de chauffage et de refroidissement. Une telle application n'est pas satisfaisante à l'égard des mesures habituellement réalisées en tribométrie.The Japanese patent JP07113735 is certainly known in the state of the art. This document relates to the use of an induction coil, not to ensure the heating of one of the test pieces during a test period by a tribometer, but to denature the material by heating and cooling cycles. Such an application is not satisfactory with regard to the measurements usually performed in tribometry.
L'invention propose une solution à ce problème, permettant de réaliser un tribomètre amélioré.The invention proposes a solution to this problem, making it possible to produce an improved tribometer.
Dans son acception la plus générale, l'invention concerne un tribomètre à disque pour la mesure des phénomènes tribologiques, mécaniques et thermiques comprenant au moins un premier support rotatif pour recevoir une eprouvette et un second support rotatif pour recevoir une seconde eprouvette, ainsi que des moyens pour mesurer le couple appliqué à chacun desdits supports, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte en outre au moins au moins une bobine d'induction disposée pour assurer le chauffage des éprouvettes entraînées en rotation. Le chauffage est commandé pour assurer une température sensiblement constante pendant la phase de mesure des paramètres tribologiques, pendant toute la durée de la mesure. Il peut également être commandé selon une courbe d'évolution temporelle, sur une plage de temps correspondant à la durée de la mesure.In its most general sense, the invention relates to a disc tribometer for measuring tribological, mechanical and thermal phenomena comprising at least a first rotary support for receiving a test piece and a second rotary support for receiving a second test piece, as well as means for measuring the torque applied to each of said supports, characterized in that it also comprises at least at least one induction coil arranged to heat the test pieces driven in rotation. The heating is controlled to ensure a substantially constant temperature during the measurement phase of the tribological parameters, throughout the duration of the measurement. It can also be ordered according to a time trend curve, over a time range corresponding to the duration of the measurement.
Selon une première variante, il comporte une bobine d'induction destinée à assurer le chauffage de l'une des éprouvettes tournante seulement.According to a first variant, it comprises an induction coil intended to ensure the heating of one of the rotating test pieces only.
Selon une deuxième variante, il comporte deux bobines d'inductions indépendantes, chacune étant destinée à assurer le chauffage de l'une des éprouvettes seulement. Un tribomètre selon 1 ' invention permet de réguler précisément la température de l'une des éprouvettes, sans perturber la mesure .According to a second variant, it comprises two independent induction coils, each being intended to ensure the heating of only one of the test pieces. A tribometer according to the invention allows precise regulation of the temperature of one of the test pieces, without disturbing the measurement.
Avantageusement, la bobine d'induction est coaxiale avec l'une des supports rotatifs.Advantageously, the induction coil is coaxial with one of the rotary supports.
Selon une variante préférée, le tribomètre selon l'invention comporte en outre un pyromètre disposé pour capter le rayonnement thermique produit à 1 ' interface des deux éprouvettes . Avantageusement, le tribomètre comporte une enceinte entourant les supports rotatifs, ladite enceinte étant relié à un système pour contrôler l'atmosphère.According to a preferred variant, the tribometer according to the invention further comprises a pyrometer arranged to capture the thermal radiation produced at the interface of the two test pieces. Advantageously, the tribometer comprises an enclosure surrounding the rotary supports, said enclosure being connected to a system for controlling the atmosphere.
Selon une variante avantageuse, l'un au moins des supports rotatifs est entraîné par un moteur supporté par un plateau équilibré par une charge réglable et en ce qu'il comporte un capteur pour la mesure de la force instantanée appliquée par ladite charge.According to an advantageous variant, at least one of the rotary supports is driven by a motor supported by a plate balanced by an adjustable load and in that it comprises a sensor for measuring the instantaneous force applied by said load.
L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui suit, se référant à un exemple non limitatif de réalisation, où :The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, referring to a nonlimiting example of embodiment, where:
- la figure 1 représente une vue de coté d'un tribomètre selon 1 ' invention ;- Figure 1 shows a side view of a tribometer 1 according to the invention;
- la figure 2 représente une vue de face dudit tribomètre . Les figures 1 et 2 représentent des vues schématiques d'un équipement selon l'invention.- Figure 2 shows a front view of said tribometer. Figures 1 and 2 show schematic views of equipment according to the invention.
L'équipement selon l'exemple décrit comprend un châssis (1) supportant un premier moteur (2) entraînant un arbre (3) assurant la rotation d'un plateau (4) comportant un mandrin pour recevoir une première eprouvette (5) . Ce moteur (2) est équipé d'un capteur de vitesse et/ou de position, ainsi que d'un capteur de puissance mesurant la force électromotrice ou contre-électromotrice appliquée au plateau (4) . L'équipement comporte un deuxième ensemble motorisé constitué par une platine (6) supportant un deuxième moteur (7) entraînant un deuxième arbre (8) perpendiculaire au premier arbre (3). Cet ensemble entraîne une seconde platine (9) munie d'un mandrin pouvant recevoir une deuxième eprouvette (10) venant en contact linéaire ou ponctuel avec la première eprouvette (5) .The equipment according to the example described comprises a chassis (1) supporting a first motor (2) driving a shaft (3) ensuring the rotation of a plate (4) comprising a mandrel to receive a first test tube (5). This motor (2) is equipped with a speed and / or position sensor, as well as a power sensor measuring the electromotive or counter electromotive force applied to the plate (4). The equipment comprises a second motorized assembly constituted by a plate (6) supporting a second motor (7) driving a second shaft (8) perpendicular to the first shaft (3). This assembly drives a second plate (9) provided with a mandrel capable of receiving a second test piece (10) coming into linear or point contact with the first test piece (5).
Les deux éprouvettes sont entraînées en rotation relative selon des axes de rotation perpendiculaires, à des vitesses assurant un glissement ou au contraire à dees vitesses homologues assurant un contact sans glissement. La boucle d'induction est orientée selon un axe correspondant à l'axe de rotation de l'une des éprouvettes. En cas d'utilisation de deux bobines d'induction, les axes des deux bobines seront perpendiculaires, chacun correspondant à l'axe de rotation de l'une des éprouvettes.The two test pieces are driven in relative rotation along perpendicular axes of rotation, at speeds ensuring sliding or, on the contrary, at homologous speeds ensuring contact without sliding. The induction loop is oriented along an axis corresponding to the axis of rotation of one of the test pieces. If two induction coils are used, the axes of the two coils will be perpendicular, each corresponding to the axis of rotation of one of the test pieces.
La platine (6) est montée de façon basculante par rapport à un pivot (11) perpendiculaire aux deux arbres (3, 8) . Une charge (12) permet d'ajuster la force d'appui de la deuxième eprouvette (10) sur la première eprouvette (4) .The plate (6) is pivotally mounted relative to a pivot (11) perpendicular to the two shafts (3, 8). A load (12) makes it possible to adjust the bearing force of the second test piece (10) on the first test piece (4).
L'équipement comprend un extensomètre (20) ou un capteur de force permettant de mesurer la force instantanée appliquée sur l'échantillon. Cette force n'est pas constante, et varie notamment en fonction de l'inertie du système.The equipment includes an extensometer (20) or a force sensor for measuring the instantaneous force applied to the sample. This force is not constant, and varies in particular according to the inertia of the system.
Les deux éprouvettes sont entraînées de façon à créer une zone de frottement contrôlable. Les paramètres mesurés permettent d'analyser les phénomènes tribologiques des matériaux constituant les éprouvettes et éventuellement des matériaux de lubrifications introduits entre les éprouvettes .The two test pieces are driven so as to create a controllable friction zone. The parameters measured make it possible to analyze the tribological phenomena of the materials constituting the test pieces and possibly of the lubrication materials introduced between the test pieces.
Un indicateur est constitué par le résultat d'une fonction de la force normal appliquée à une eprouvette, et de la force tangentielle mesurée. Afin de permettre des mesures prenant en compte l'incidence de la température, l'équipement comprend en outre un générateur de haute fréquence (14) alimentant une boucle d'induction (15). Cette boucle d'induction entoure l'une des éprouvettes (10) et assure sa mise en température et sa thermorégulation. Elle n'entraîne pas en contact avec les éprouvettes, et ne perturbe donc pas la mesure.An indicator is formed by the result of a function of the normal force applied to a specimen, and of the tangential force measured. In order to allow measurements taking into account the incidence of temperature, the equipment further comprises a high frequency generator (14) supplying an induction loop (15). This induction loop surrounds one of the test pieces (10) and ensures its temperature setting and its thermoregulation. It does not cause contact with the test pieces, and therefore does not disturb the measurement.
La thermorégulation consiste selon un mode de mise en œuvre en un maintien à une température constante de l'une seulement des éprouvettes. Dans une autre variante, les deux éprouvettes sont maintenues à des températures constantes différentes, pour mesurer l'effet d'un différentiel de température. Dans ce cas, on prévoit deux pyromètres, pour la mesure indépendante de la température de chacun des échantillons.Thermoregulation consists, according to one mode of implementation, of keeping only one of the test pieces at a constant temperature. In another variant, the two test pieces are maintained at different constant temperatures, to measure the effect of a temperature differential. In this case, two pyrometers are provided, for independent measurement of the temperature of each of the samples.
Les températures de chauffage sont, pour certaines applications comprises entre 600 et 1200°.The heating temperatures are, for certain applications, between 600 and 1200 °.
La bobine d'induction est formée par un bobinage de quelques spires, 6 dans l'exemple décrit, en fil de cuivre de 3 mm de section. Les spires présentent une section de 500 mm, pour permettre le positionnement d'une eprouvette de 450 mm de section au maximum. Bien entendu, les dimensions de la bobine peuvent être modifiées par l'homme du métier pour répondre aux besoins d'une mesure.The induction coil is formed by a winding of a few turns, 6 in the example described, made of copper wire with a section of 3 mm. The coils have a section of 500 mm, to allow the positioning of a test tube of 450 mm section at most. Of course, the dimensions of the coil can be modified by a person skilled in the art to meet the needs of a measurement.
Le générateur de haute fréquence délivre un signal électrique de 30 à 300 khz à une puissance de 25 kilowatts.The high frequency generator delivers an electrical signal from 30 to 300 kHz at a power of 25 kilowatts.
L'ensemble formé par les supports d' eprouvette, les éprouvettes et la boucle d'induction peut être inséré dans une enceinte fermée de façon étanche, présentant des passages d'arbres, pour permettre le contrôle deThe assembly formed by the test tube supports, the test tubes and the induction loop can be inserted into a sealed enclosure, having shaft passages, to allow the control of
1 ' atmosphère . L'équipement comporte aussi un pyromètre (16) infrarouge, et/ou des thermocouple, mesurant la température de la zone de contact.1 atmosphere. The equipment also includes an infrared pyrometer (16), and / or thermocouples, measuring the temperature of the contact area.
Les données concernant les couples et puissance absorbée, la force tangentielle exercée par la deuxième eprouvette sur la première eprouvette, en fonction de la charge (12) , la puissance de chauffage, la température mesurée et éventuellement d'autres paramètres sont exploités par un calculateur pour la détermination d'un coefficient de frottement du couple d' éprouvettes .The data concerning the torques and absorbed power, the tangential force exerted by the second test piece on the first test piece, as a function of the load (12), the heating power, the measured temperature and possibly other parameters are used by a computer. for the determination of a coefficient of friction of the pair of test pieces.
L'invention peut donner lieu à différentes variantes de réalisation. Elle peut comporter une boucle d'induction pour chacune des éprouvettes, ou encore un support refroidi. Elle peut également comporter Un système de filtrage permettant l'analyse de débris d'usure en continu lorsque l'on fonctionne en lubrification.The invention can give rise to different variant embodiments. It may include an induction loop for each of the test pieces, or else a cooled support. It may also include a filtering system allowing the analysis of wear debris continuously when operating in lubrication.
L ' équipement peut aussi comporter un porte- échantillon additionnel pour le chauffage d ' éprouvettes formé d'un matériau non conducteur. Le porte-échantillon sera constitué dans ce cas par un réceptacle en un matériau électriquement conducteur destiné à recevoir 1 ' eprouvette et à lui transmettre les contraintes mécaniques ainsi que thermiques. Ce porte-échantillon est solidarisé avec l'un des supports rotatifs , de façon à assurer 1 ' entraînement de l' eprouvette formée d'un matériau isolant ou faiblement conducteur.The equipment can also include an additional sample holder for heating test pieces formed of a non-conductive material. The sample holder will in this case consist of a receptacle made of an electrically conductive material intended to receive the specimen and to transmit mechanical and thermal stresses to it. This sample holder is secured to one of the rotary supports, so as to ensure the drive of the test piece formed from an insulating or weakly conductive material.
Les supports rotatifs peuvent être parallèles, ou perpendiculaires. Dans ce dernier cas, il est avantageux que l'un des supports soit horizontal, de façon à éviter la chute des débris, qui doivent être pris en compte dans les phénomènes tribologiques .The rotary supports can be parallel, or perpendicular. In the latter case, it is advantageous for one of the supports to be horizontal, so as to avoid the fall of the debris, which must be taken into account in tribological phenomena.
Les vitesses des deux supports peuvent être homologues (c'est-à-dire à des vitesses assurant un déplacement des deux éprouvettes sans glissement) ou différentes, et l'un des supports peut présenter une vitesse de rotation nulle. The speeds of the two supports can be homologous (that is to say at speeds ensuring a displacement of the two test pieces without sliding) or different, and one of the supports may have a zero rotation speed.
