Description
La présente invention concerne un nouveau dispositif pour le cintrage de tubes ou de profilés et une machine comportant ce dispositif, (voir par exemple
L'invention se rapporte particulièrement mais non limitativement à la technique dite de cintrage par enroulement-tension dont le principe est rappelé ici en liaison avec les
Un tube (A) est immobilisé sur une forme (B) de cintrage par un mors (C).A tube (A) is immobilized on a bending form (B) by a jaw (C).
L'ensemble (forme de cintrage-mors) est mis en rotation, une réglette (D) ou des galets (E) maintiennent le tube (A) dans l'axe de la machine.The assembly (jaw-jaw form) is rotated, a strip (D) or rollers (E) maintain the tube (A) in the axis of the machine.
C'est la technique la plus utilisée pour la fabrication de pièces industrielles.It is the most used technique for manufacturing industrial parts.
Elle permet le cintrage à rayons courts (facteur R 0,8), de tubes à parois minces (facteur E de 200).It allows short-radius bending (factor R 0.8) of thin-walled tubes (factor E of 200).
La qualité et la précision des pièces réalisées avec cette technique sont dépendantes du maintien du tube par le mors sur la forme de cintrage.The quality and precision of the parts made with this technique are dependent on the maintenance of the tube by the jaw on the bending form.
Tout glissement engendre deux effets :
- Création de plis à l'intrados (F) (ou intérieur)du cintre,
- Altération des parties droites (G) entre cintres, d'où une dégradation de la géométrie des pièces.
- Creation of folds on the intrados (F) (or inside) of the hanger,
- Alteration of the straight parts (G) between hangers, hence a deterioration of the geometry of the pieces.
Le mors de serrage doit, pour être efficace, avoir une force de serrage suffisante et une grande rigidité pour transmettre la force de serrage.In order to be effective, the clamping jaws must have sufficient clamping force and high rigidity to transmit the clamping force.
Sur les machines existantes, le mouvement est réalisé soit par un vérin (hydraulique ou pneumatique) associé à un système mécanique généralement un système de genouillère, soit par un moteur (électrique) associé à un système vis-écrou.On existing machines, the movement is achieved either by a cylinder (hydraulic or pneumatic) associated with a mechanical system generally a toggle system, or by a motor (electric) associated with a screw-nut system.
Cet ensemble est monté sur un bras de cintrage tournant autour de la forme de cintrage.This assembly is mounted on a bending arm rotating around the bending form.
La conception des pièces en tube à parois minces est actuellement "bridée" par la capacité des moyens disponibles sur le marché d'enchaîner avec plus ou moins de difficultés des cintrages dans le sens horaire (voir
Cette situation impose donc, lorsque le besoin de deux sens de cintrage est nécessaire, d'envisager une conception modulaire avec plusieurs pièces, dont chacune n'a qu'un sens de cintrage, ou l'utilisation de solutions plus lourdes et/ou plus complexes, ainsi l'état de la technique propose plusieurs solutions à savoir :
- réaliser les deux sens de cintrage avec un équipement disposant de deux têtes de cintrages dont le principe est représenté à la
figure 6 . Le tube est successivement cintré dans un premier sens par une première tête (a) de cintrage puis en sens contraire par passage dans une deuxième tête de cintrage (b). - réaliser les deux sens de cintrage avec un équipement comportant deux outils (c, d) montés de part et d'autre d'une tête de cintrage, et dont le principe est représenté en
figure 7 . Les deux outils (c, d) sont montés sur le même axe (e) de cintrage, le changement de sens de cintrage nécessite une combinaison complexe de mouvements. - réaliser les deux sens de cintrage avec deux outils (f, g) à axes de rotation commutables selon le principe de la
figure 8 . Dans ce cas, la commutation du sens de cintrage est très rapide, mais la mécanique est complexe. De plus, cette solution ne permet pas de changement de rayon de cintrage. - réaliser les deux sens de cintrage avec deux outils (h, i) situés sur des plans différents selon le principe de la
figure 9 . Dans ce cas, le changement de sens de cintrage nécessité des mouvements complexes.
- realize the two directions of bending with an equipment having two bending heads whose principle is represented at the
figure 6 . The tube is successively bent in a first direction by a first head (a) of bending and then in opposite directions by passing through a second bending head (b). - realize the two directions of bending with equipment comprising two tools (c, d) mounted on either side of a bending head, and whose principle is represented in
figure 7 . The two tools (c, d) are mounted on the same axis (e) of bending, the change of bending direction requires a complex combination of movements. - realize the two directions of bending with two tools (f, g) with switchable axes of rotation according to the principle of the
figure 8 . In this case, the switching of the direction of bending is very fast, but the mechanics are complex. In addition, this solution does not allow a change of bending radius. - realize the two directions of bending with two tools (h, i) located on different planes according to the principle of
figure 9 . In this case, the change of direction of bending requires complex movements.
Toutes ces solutions de l'art antérieur impliquent une mécanique plus ou moins complexe et nécessitent toutes deux outils de cintrage.All these solutions of the prior art involve a more or less complex mechanics and both require bending tools.
De ce fait, pour les marchés les plus porteurs tels que l'automobile et l'aéronautique, toujours en recherche de solutions économiques et adaptées aux changements simples et rapides de séries, le besoin des concepteurs n'est pas pleinement satisfait.Therefore, for the most buoyant markets such as automotive and aerospace, always looking for economic solutions and adapted to simple and fast changes in series, the need of designers is not fully satisfied.
L'objectif de la présente invention est de proposer une solution plus économique que celles de l'art antérieur et qui réponde aux besoins des concepteurs.The objective of the present invention is to provide a more economical solution than those of the prior art and which meets the needs of designers.
L'invention atteint cet objectif et consiste en une tête de cintrage selon la revendication 1.The invention achieves this objective and consists of a bending head according to
L'invention porte également sur une machine équipée d'une tête de cintrage de ce type, commandée par une commande numérique gérant l'ensemble des mouvements des composants de la machine, selon la revendication 2.The invention also relates to a machine equipped with a bending head of this type, controlled by a numerical control managing all the movements of the components of the machine, according to
Plus particulièrement la commande numérique calcule les déplacements des composants et les paramètres de cintrage à partir des deux coordonnées planaires (x et y) et de l'angle de rotation (α) définissant les déplacements du mors.More particularly, the numerical control calculates the movements of the components and the bending parameters from the two planar coordinates (x and y) and the rotation angle (α) defining the movements of the jaw.
La commande numérique commande en outre classiquement un moyen de guidage-réglette, un moyen de positionnement du tube, un moyen de guidage du mandrin et un moyen de positionnement du tube.The numerical control further conventionally controls a guide-ruler means, a tube positioning means, a mandrel guiding means and a tube positioning means.
Enfin, la machine présente une structure symétrique dont les changements de sens de cintrage s'effectuent par simple rotation des axes.Finally, the machine has a symmetrical structure whose bending direction changes are made by simple rotation of the axes.

L'idée inventive a consisté à développer une nouvelle architecture remplaçant le bras de cintrage actuel et qui permettrait de réaliser le cintrage de tubes à parois minces dans les deux sens (horaire et anti-horaire) avec un même outillage.The inventive idea was to develop a new architecture replacing the current bending arm and that would allow the bending of thin-walled tubes in both directions (clockwise and anti-clockwise) with the same tooling.
Cette nouvelle architecture doit donc comporter un moyen de cintrage à structure symétrique.This new architecture must therefore include a symmetrical bending means.
Sur la base de cette idée de symétrie, l'idée inventive a évolué vers le concept d'une tête de cintrage circulaire dont les caractéristiques sont représentées sur les
- le bras de cintrage est remplacé par une couronne, d'où une structure symétrique de la rotation,
- la rigidité est nettement meilleure car le diamètre de guidage est beaucoup plus important qu'avec un bras de cintrage,
- le déplacement (serrage) du mors en translation est obtenu par trois rotations contrôlées par des axes numériques,
- le déplacement linéaire du mors de serrage se fait en interpolant ces trois axes.
- the bending arm is replaced by a ring, hence a symmetrical structure of the rotation,
- the rigidity is much better because the guide diameter is much larger than with a bending arm,
- the displacement (clamping) of the jaw in translation is obtained by three rotations controlled by numerical axes,
- the linear displacement of the clamping jaw is done by interpolating these three axes.
Le système de serrage se comporte comme une bielle d'où un déplacement rapide pendant la course, où les efforts sont faibles, et plus lents en fin de course, où les efforts sont importants du fait de la triangulation des axes.The clamping system behaves like a connecting rod from where a fast movement during the race, where the efforts are weak, and slower at the end of the race, where the efforts are important because of the triangulation of the axes.
De plus, le fait d'utiliser trois rotations synchronisées permet de programmer la position du mors selon deux axes perpendiculaires et une rotation.In addition, the fact of using three synchronized rotations makes it possible to program the position of the jaw along two perpendicular axes and a rotation.
Le contrôle de l'orientation du mors de serrage par rotation permet d'optimiser le serrage.Controlling the orientation of the clamping jaw by rotation optimizes clamping.
On comprendra mieux le fonctionnement de cette tête de cintrage à l'aide de la description détaillée qui suit.The operation of this bending head will be better understood with the aid of the following detailed description.
La tête de cintrage circulaire (1) (voir
Ce mouvement rectiligne résulte du montage du mors selon un principe de l'excentrique.This rectilinear movement results from mounting the bit according to a principle of the eccentric.
Le mors (4) est monté en rotation autour d'un axe (A3) monté lui-même en périphérie d'un plateau satellite (5) monté à rotation sur un axe (A2) porté par le plateau principal et à une distance prédéterminée de l'axe (A1).The jaw (4) is rotatably mounted about an axis (A 3 ) mounted itself on the periphery of a satellite plate (5) rotatably mounted on an axis (A 2 ) carried by the main plate and at a predetermined distance from the axis (A 1 ).
Une réglette (6) est prévue pour guider classiquement le tube.A slider (6) is provided to guide the tube conventionally.
Sur le schéma de principe de la
On dispose donc d'un système permettant au vecteur de se déplacer de façon quelconque dans le plan (PL1).There is therefore a system allowing the vector to move in any way in the plane (PL 1 ).
Ce principe mécanique est applicable pour déplacer un vecteur dans un plan.This mechanical principle is applicable to move a vector in a plane.
Ce déplacement se décompose pour le cintrage des tubes en une phase de déplacement linéaire pour serrer le tube sur la forme de cintrage, une autre phase de déplacement circulaire pour le cintrage du tube, une phase de déplacement linéaire pour le desserrage du tube.This displacement is decomposed for the bending of the tubes in a linear displacement phase to tighten the tube on the bending form, another phase of circular displacement for the bending of the tube, a linear displacement phase for the loosening of the tube.

Cette configuration du mors (3) sur un axe excentré sur le plateau satellite permet d'obtenir des efforts de bridage très importants.This configuration of the jaw (3) on an eccentric axis on the satellite tray allows to obtain very large clamping forces.
La
La phase de débridage n'est pas représentée, dans cette phase, le galet reste fixe, une synchronisation inverse des rotations utilisées en phase de bridage permet au mors de serrage de s'écarter du galet de formage. Lorsque le mors est écarté, la réglette (7) s'écarte et recule, le plateau principal (2) revient en position pour le cintre suivant, le tube avance et le galet de formage revient en position. Une nouvelle phase de bridage peut commencer.The unclamping phase is not shown, in this phase, the roller remains fixed, a reverse synchronization of the rotations used in the clamping phase allows the clamping jaws to move away from the forming roller. When the jaw is removed, the slide (7) moves back and forth, the main plate (2) returns to position for the next hanger, the tube advances and the forming roller returns to position. A new phase of clamping can begin.

Le fait d'utiliser trois rotations synchronisées permet de programmer le déplacement rectiligne du mors selon deux directions perpendiculaires (Ox) et (Oy) et selon sa rotation d'angle (α), qui correspond à la rotation nécessaire du mors autour de son axe (A3) pour qu'il reste toujours positionné de façon optimale par rapport au galet et optimiser ainsi le serrage du tube pendant la rotation dudit galet (3).The fact of using three synchronized rotations makes it possible to program the rectilinear movement of the jaw in two perpendicular directions (Ox) and (Oy) and according to its angle rotation (α), which corresponds to the necessary rotation of the jaw around its axis. (A 3 ) so that it always remains optimally positioned relative to the roller and thus optimize the tightening of the tube during the rotation of said roller (3).

On pourrait prévoir d'autres configurations, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, par exemple une configuration où la tête de cintrage serait verticale avec des mouvements de rotation dans un plan vertical.Other configurations could be provided without departing from the scope of the invention, for example a configuration where the bending head would be vertical with rotational movements in a vertical plane.
On pourrait également prévoir de placer le galet (3) et les autres éléments satellites de l'excentrique en dessous du plateau principal (2).One could also provide to place the roller (3) and the other satellite elements of the eccentric below the main plate (2).
