Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support device for maintain hollow parts in a specific position, as well as method of implementing such a device.
  • the invention finds a particularly advantageous application, but not exclusive, in the field of external surface treatment of hollow parts.
  • the hollow parts are usually prepared prior to the actual surface treatment operation.
  • a such preparation may for example consist of dipping in a bath degreasing, followed by soaking in a rinse bath.
  • the support device must be able to sustainably fulfill its function throughout the different phases of the surface treatment envisaged. he must also be able to ensure the individual hollow piece regardless of its position in the space, in order to allow all the freedoms of manipulation.
  • a device support comprising a support frame on which are fixed a multitude deforming holding members.
  • a device is known from EP-A-0 721 020 which shows a supporting framework according to the preamble of the 1 and 13.
  • Each holding member is constituted by a U-shaped piece whose central portion is secured to the frame bearing and whose two substantially parallel branches are apt to be solicited in spacing relative to each other through the character deformable of the whole.
  • the device of the prior art also provides means of releases bringing the two branches of the organ closer together. maintenance.
  • This type of support device has the drawback of do not allow easy disengagement of hollow parts. Organs are difficult to access when the parts hollow are inserted on it. The two branches of the U, that is to say the two moving parts of each holding member, are thus particularly difficult to handle.
  • the technical problem to solve, by the object of this invention is to propose a support device comprising a frame carrier on which is fixed at least one deformable holding member intended to immobilize a hollow part to undergo a treatment of external surface, support device that would avoid problems of the state of the art in particular by offering a great ease of setting at the level of each of its maintenance organs.
  • each holding member has a part fixed static carrier frame, and a mounted part elastically movable spaced from the static portion between, on the one hand, a tighter position in which the hollow part is able to be inserted at least partially on the static part and on the part mobile, and on the other hand, a released position in which the hollow part is able to be blocked by the holding member under the action of the force of pressure exerted by the mobile part which is elastically stressed in away from the static part which forms stop.
  • each holding member according to the invention comprises only one moving part, which is more elastically mounted movable in spacing by relation to the static part, and not to another part mobile.
  • Another structural difference lies in the fact that treat is here inserted on both the static part and the moving part, but not on two moving parts as in the prior art. The room hollow is thus blocked by the combined action of the pressure force exerted by the single moving part, and of the role of stop filled by the part static.
  • each holding member has only one single moving part to handle.
  • the configuration structural structure of each holding member does not require that the end free of the movable portion extends inwardly of the hollow part. it implies that the mobile part in question, and in particular its end free, is particularly accessible.
  • the present invention also relates to the characteristics which will emerge from the description which will follow, and which will have to be considered in isolation or in all their technical combinations possible.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a support device (1) comprising a frame carrier (10) on which is secured a plurality of holding members (20) intended to immobilize from the inside hollow parts (100) in front of undergo external surface treatment.
  • each holding (20) has a static part (21) integral with the support frame (10), and a portion (22) resiliently movable in spacing by relative to the static part (21).
  • the mobile part (22) is thus able to be moved between a constricted position and a released position respectively inserting and immobilizing a hollow part (100).
  • the hollow piece (100) can be inserted at a time on at least a portion of the static part (21) and on at least a portion of the movable part (22).
  • the hollow part (100) is in this case able to be blocked by the holding member (20) under the action of the pressing force exerted by the moving part (22) which is solicited elastically away from the part static (21) which then forms a stop.
  • the static part (21) of each holding member (20) is secured to the support frame (10) by one end (23).
  • This feature has the advantage of making available most of the static part (21) to receive the hollow piece. So even when it is attached to the carrier frame (10), the static part (21) is mainly accessible to serve as support any hollow part (100) likely to be inserted on it.
  • the mobile part (22) of each holding member (20) has a free end (24) extending below the plane of the carrier frame (10), relative to the body itself said holding member (20).
  • This characteristic significantly improves the accessibility of the moving part (22), so that the implementation of the holding member (22) is seen advantageously facilitated.
  • the free end (24) of the movable part (22) indeed extends into an unencumbered area, since it is located opposite of the main part of the holding member (20) and the hollow part (100) to be treated, relative to the carrier frame (10).
  • each holding member (20) comprises a shoulder (25), forming a stop, which is able to hold the hollow part (100) away from the carrier frame (10).
  • the goal is above all to achieve a sort of suspending the hollow part (100) so that the treatment its outer surface is not impeded by any contact between the edge lower part of said hollow part and the upper surface of the support frame (10).
  • each holding member (20) does not has only one shoulder (25) and is provided on the moving part (22).
  • the holding member (20) is constituted by a flexible element (30) having substantially the shape of a U including a branch (31) forming part static (21), is secured to the carrier frame (10) by its free end (33) and whose other branch (32), forming a movable part (22), is mounted elastically movable spaced from the static branch (31).
  • the free end (34) of the movable branch (32) extends below the plane of the carrier frame (10), with respect to the body itself the flexible element in U (30).
  • the static (31) and mobile (32) branches are structurally equivalent since they form an integral part of a single and same piece: the flexible element (30). Just one of them (reference 31) is considered static because it is attached to the frame carrier (10) via its free end (33), while the other (reference 32) is considered mobile because its free end (34) is not related. Since, moreover, the structure of the U-shaped element (30) is flexible, the mobile arm (32) can thus advantageously be moved in distance from the static branch (31), thus conferring deformable character to the holding member (20).
  • the organs of maintaining (20) are here regularly spaced on the carrier frame (10).
  • the holding members (20) are, in effect, perfectly aligned and spaced, whether in the longitudinal direction or in the transverse direction.
  • the carrier frame (10) comprises several transverse crosspieces (11) along which are joined regularly a constant number of holding members (20).
  • the positioning of the different holding members (20) being determined and known, it is perfectly conceivable to automate using robots the process of placing hollow pieces (100) on the device support (1). This characteristic is a decisive advantage in the industrialization of the proposed surface treatment process.
  • the support device (1) further comprises means for release (40) able to move the movable part (22) of each holding (20) between the released position and the constricted position. It is well heard that liberated and constrained positions are limits and that, therefore, the releasing means (40) are able to on the other hand, to move all moving parts (22) continuously and, on the other hand, to immobilize said moving parts (22) in any which intermediate position.
  • the release means (40) are constituted by a liberating frame (41) which is intended to be positioned parallel to the support frame (10), and which comprises stop means (42) adapted to cooperate by contact with the movable part (22) of each holding member (20).
  • the liberating framework (41) and the carrier frame (10) are in fact movably mounted in relative translation.
  • the abutment means (42) are capable of causing the displacement of moving parts (22), between the released position and the constricted position, at the during a relative translation between the liberating frame (41) and the frame carrier (10).
  • the stop means (42) are constituted by several sleepers (43) which are secured to the frame liberator (41) substantially perpendicular to the direction of moving the movable parts (22) of the holding members (20).
  • the free end (24) of each movable part (22), which is positioned in below the plane of the carrier frame (10), thus extends into the area of movement of a cross member (43) and can therefore be actuated when the liberating frame (41) and the carrying frame (10) are animated by a relative translation movement ( Figures 3 and 4).
  • the support device (1) may also comprise driving means able to generate a relative translation between the liberator frame (41) and the carrier frame (10). This particularity makes sense in the context of the industrialization of the surface treatment process previously mentioned.
  • the carrier frame is static and the liberating frame is mounted mobile in translation parallel to said carrier frame.
  • the invention also relates to a method for putting implement a support device 1 as previously described.
  • the first step in this process is to set up a framework carrier (1) on a liberating frame (41).
  • the fourth step is then to bring the moving parts (22) of all the holding members (20) in the released position, realizing again a relative translation between the liberating frame (41) and the frame carrier (10), but this time in the opposite direction of the second step ( Figure 4).
  • the carrier frame (10) is advantageously disengaged from the liberating frame (41) in order to have only said carrier frame (10) to be manipulated.
  • the carrying frame (10) is replaced on a liberating frame (41) during a seventh step. It should be noted that this liberating framework (41) can to be, or not, the same as the first five steps.
  • the last step then consists in releasing the hollow pieces (100), in bringing again the moving parts (22) of all the organs of holding (20) in the constricted position.
  • This operation can be advantageously achieved by returning all the two frames (10, 41), so that the processed hollow pieces (100) can be disengaging holding members (20) by simple gravity, before fall just as advantageously into a recovery collector.
  • the carrier frame (10) of the support device (1) has at least one crossmember (11) along which is secured at least one holding member (20), and the means of stop (42) of the support device (1) consist of at least one crossbar (43) which is secured to the liberating frame (41) so as to substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the part movable member (22) of each holding member (20), the free end (24) of each movable part (22), which is positioned below the plane of the frame carrier (10), extending in the area of movement of a cross member (43).
