Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de montage d'agrafes de fixation et plus particulièrement un dispositif de montage d'agrafes qui comportent deux bras qui agissent radialement sur un axe fixe afin de maintenir en position des écrans thermiques ou tout autre type d'élément.The invention relates to a fixing clip mounting device and more particularly to a staple mounting device which comprises two arms which act radially on a fixed axis in order to keep thermal screens or any other type of element in position.

En général, sur les chaînes de montage, les agrafes du type qui comportent deux bras qui agissent radialement sur un axe fixe sont mises en place manuellement. Le montage est effectué par l'opérateur en exerçant une pression sur les bras de l'agrafe afin de permettre le coulissement de ladite agrafe sur l'axe de fixation. Or une certaine pression est recommandée pour la mise en place des agrafes. La mise en pression est donc plus difficile et moins précise manuellement, ce qui peut provoquer une disparité dans la qualité du montage. De plus, la mise en place manuelle d'agrafes de façon répétitive peut occasionner des gênes et des désagréments physiques pour l'opérateur, en particulier au niveau des doigts. Les désagréments physiques engendrés produisent des disparités dans la qualité de fixation de l'agrafe.In general, on the assembly lines, the staples of the type which comprise two arms which act radially on a fixed axis are put in place manually. The assembly is performed by the operator by exerting pressure on the arms of the clip to allow the sliding of said clip on the fixing axis. But some pressure is recommended for the implementation of staples. Pressurizing is therefore more difficult and less precise manually, which can cause a disparity in the quality of assembly. In addition, the manual placement of staples repeatedly can cause inconvenience and physical discomfort for the operator, especially at the fingertips. The physical inconvenience caused produces disparities in the quality of fixation of the clip.

La publication US-A-5125296 décrit un dispositif de montage de colliers de serrage réalisé sous la forme d'un pistolet pneumatique comportant des mâchoires actionnées à l'aide d'une gâchette. L'ouverture des mâchoires nécessite une place importante autour de la zone de fixation. Ce dispositif étant trop encombrant, il ne permet pas d'accéder aux endroits étroits.The publication US-A-5125296 discloses a clamping device in the form of a pneumatic gun having jaws actuated by means of a trigger. The opening of the jaws requires an important place around the fixing zone. This device is too bulky, it does not allow access to narrow places.

Par ailleurs on connaît également un dispositif de montage d'agrafes décrit dans la publication WO-A-9926545 qui représente un pistolet comportant une cartouche contenant plusieurs agrafes. Cette cartouche rend l'outil plus lourd et moins maniable. De plus, avec une mécanique plus complexe, l'outil est plus onéreux et risque d'avoir des défaillances plus nombreuses.Also known is a staple mounting device described in the publication WO-A-9926545 which represents a pistol comprising a cartridge containing several staples. This cartridge makes the tool heavier and less manoeuvrable. In addition, with a more complex mechanics, the tool is more expensive and may have more failures.

Le document GB-2002845 A décrit un dispositif d'aide au montage, selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The document GB-2002845 A discloses a mounting aid according to the preamble of claim 1.

Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif léger, maniable et précis permettant de mettre en place une agrafe de façon automatique et dans les endroits difficiles d'accès tout en assurant une homogénéité dans la qualité de fixation.In order to overcome these drawbacks, the object of the invention is a light, manageable and precise device which makes it possible to set up a staple automatically and in places that are difficult to access while ensuring homogeneity in the quality of fixation.

Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, le poussoir comporte au moins deux zones de pression distinctes qui coopèrent respectivement avec les bras de l'agrafe.According to one characteristic of the invention, the pusher comprises at least two distinct pressure zones which cooperate respectively with the arms of the staple.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le poussoir est monté en translation dans un guide en limitant les mouvements de rotation relatifs entre lesdits guide et poussoir.According to another characteristic of the invention, the pusher is mounted in translation in a guide by limiting the relative rotational movements between said guide and pusher.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le poussoir comporte un orifice central d'un diamètre supérieur au diamètre de l'axe de montage.According to another characteristic of the invention, the pusher comprises a central orifice with a diameter greater than the diameter of the mounting axis.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la jonction des bras avec la base de l'agrafe sont montées à translation dans des rainures réalisées selon la direction x dans le guide.According to another characteristic of the invention, the junction of the arms with the base of the clip are mounted in translation in grooves made in the x direction in the guide.

  • La figure 3 représente une vue schématique du type d'agrafe utilisé.
  • La figure 4 représente une vue schématique de dessous de l'embout de l'outil selon l'invention comportant une agrafe .
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description of exemplary embodiments of a device for assem- bly mounting a fastening clip in the appended drawing in which:
  • The figure 1 is a schematic sectional view of the tip of the tool according to the invention.
  • The figure 2 is a schematic sectional view of the tip of the tool according to the invention after displacement of the pusher.
  • The figure 3 represents a schematic view of the type of clip used.
  • The figure 4 is a schematic bottom view of the tip of the tool according to the invention having a clip.

La présente invention portant essentiellement sur l'embout d'un outil d'aide au montage d'agrafes, la description qui suit ne décrit pas la partie standard et connue en soi de l'outil qui comporte les éléments de transmission d'effort par l'intermédiaire de moyens pneumatiques ou d'autres moyens équivalents.The present invention essentially relates to the tip of a staple assist tool, the following description does not describe the standard part and known per se of the tool which comprises the force transmission elements via pneumatic means or other equivalent means.

Tel que représenté sur la figure 1, l'outil comporte une tige 1 de liaison entre un système pneumatique, par exemple, connu en soi et un poussoir 7, afin de transmettre un effort de poussée à une agrafe 4.As shown on the figure 1 , the tool comprises a connecting rod 1 between a pneumatic system, for example, known per se and a pusher 7, in order to transmit a thrust force to a staple 4.

L'agrafe 4, telle que décrite sur les figures 3 et 4, sert à fixer des parois souples du type écrans thermiques par exemple et comporte deux bras 8 et 9 et un trou central 10. Pour être mise en place, elle est insérée sur un axe 5 selon une direction x. L'agrafe 4 est de forme sensiblement conique. Les bras 8 et 9 sont rattachés à la base 17 du cône de façon diamétralement opposée et s'étendent au dessus du sommet 18. Les bras 8 et 9 de l'agrafe 4 sont rattachés de telle façon qu'ils dépassent de la base 17 du cône et que la base de l'agrafe 4 s'inscrit sensiblement dans un rectangle.The staple 4, as described on Figures 3 and 4 , serves to fix flexible walls of the heat shield type for example and comprises two arms 8 and 9 and a central hole 10. To be implemented, it is inserted on an axis 5 in a direction x. The clip 4 is of substantially conical shape. The arms 8 and 9 are attached to the base 17 of the cone diametrically opposite and extend above the top 18. The arms 8 and 9 of the clip 4 are attached so that they protrude from the base 17 of the cone and that the base of the staple 4 is substantially in a rectangle.

Le poussoir 7 est monté en translation suivant l'axe x dans un guide fixe 2 qui forme l'embout de l'outil. L'agrafe 4 est positionnée de façon à ce que les bras 8 et 9 de cette dernière soient en contact avec une partie externe du poussoir 7. Tel que représenté sur la figure 4, le poussoir 7, de forme rectangulaire, comporte deux zones de pression distinctes 11 et 12, situées dans des coins opposés de la partie externe dudit poussoir 7, destinées à coopérer respectivement avec les extrémités des bras 8 et 9 de l'agrafe 4. Le poussoir 7 comprend également un évidement suffisant en position centrale de façon à ne pas interférer avec l'axe 5 destiné à recevoir l'agrafe 4 lors de son montage.The pusher 7 is mounted in translation along the x axis in a fixed guide 2 which forms the tip of the tool. The clip 4 is positioned so that the arms 8 and 9 of the latter are in contact with an external part of the pusher 7. As shown in FIG. figure 4 , the pusher 7, of rectangular shape, comprises two distinct pressure zones 11 and 12, situated in opposite corners of the external part of said pusher 7, intended to cooperate respectively with the ends of the arms 8 and 9 of the staple 4. The pusher 7 also comprises a sufficient recess in the central position so as not to interfere with the axis 5 for receiving the staple 4 during its assembly.

Le guide 2 et le poussoir 7 sont de section rectangulaire afin que les zones de pression aient toujours la même orientation par rapport au corps de l'outil.The guide 2 and the pusher 7 are of rectangular section so that the pressure zones always have the same orientation relative to the body of the tool.

Avantageusement, des rainures 15 et 16 peuvent aussi être ajoutées sur le guide 2 afin de limiter la rotation de l'agrafe 4 dans l'embout et peuvent également servir de maintien de l'agrafe afin que cette dernière ne tombe pas au cours de l'opération.Advantageously, grooves 15 and 16 may also be added to the guide 2 in order to limit the rotation of the clip 4 in the endpiece and may also serve to hold the staple so that the staple does not fall during the first step. 'surgery.

Afin de positionner l'agrafe 4 sur l'axe 5, l'opérateur place l'agrafe 4 dans l'embout de l'outil en faisant coopérer les extrémités libres 13 et 14 des bras 8 et 9 respectivement avec les zones d'appui 11 et 12, tel que représenté sur la figure 1, et applique l'embout de l'outil contre une paroi 6. Tel que représenté sur la figure 2, il fait opérer un mouvement de translation au poussoir 7 par l'intermédiaire de la commande pneumatique qui agit sur la tige et qui applique l'agrafe 4 contre la paroi 6. Lorsqu'une pression est exercée sur l'agrafe 4 selon la direction x, les bras 8 et 9 se replient et s'écartent l'un de l'autre permettant ainsi un coulissement de l'agrafe 4 sur l'axe 5. Lorsque l'opérateur relâche l'effort fourni par l'outil, les bras 8 et 9 de l'agrafe 4 se relèvent et se resserrent sur l'axe 5 de façon à ce que l'agrafe 4 soit bien verrouillée et maintienne en place la paroi 6.In order to position the staple 4 on the axis 5, the operator places the staple 4 in the tip of the tool by making the free ends 13 and 14 of the arms cooperate. 8 and 9 respectively with the bearing zones 11 and 12, as shown in FIG. figure 1 , and applies the tip of the tool against a wall 6. As shown on the figure 2 , it causes a translational movement to the pusher 7 by means of the pneumatic control which acts on the rod and which applies the staple 4 against the wall 6. When a pressure is exerted on the staple 4 according to the direction x, the arms 8 and 9 fold and move away from each other allowing a sliding of the clip 4 on the axis 5. When the operator releases the force provided by the tool, the arm 8 and 9 of the staple 4 are raised and tighten on the axis 5 so that the staple 4 is locked and holds the wall 6 in place.
