Description

La présente invention se rapporte à un dispositif d'application d'un matériau de protection sur le chant d'une pièce.The present invention relates to a device for applying a protective material on the edge of a workpiece.

Dans le domaine aéronautique, les pièces en matériau composite ont besoin d'une protection sur tous les chants usinés. Cette protection a pour finalité d'obtenir une protection galvanique, anti-corrosion et une barrière anti-foudre.In the aeronautical field, composite parts need protection on all machined edges. This protection has the purpose of obtaining a galvanic protection, anti-corrosion and a lightning barrier.

Comme protection, on peut appliquer sur les chants un matériau sous forme d'une résine. Ce matériau ne doit être appliqué qu'au niveau du chant et ne doit pas recouvrir les faces adjacentes au chant protégé.As protection, a material in the form of a resin can be applied to the edges. This material should only be applied at the level of the edge and should not cover the faces adjacent to the protected edge.

L'application du matériau est faite sans masquage de protection pour les faces adjacentes, à l'aide d'un rouleau et d'une spatule pour retirer le surplus de matériau sur les faces adjacentes.The application of the material is made without protective masking for adjacent faces, using a roller and spatula to remove excess material on adjacent faces.

Ce mode opératoire n'est pas pleinement satisfaisant car il requiert beaucoup de minutie et de temps et ne permet pas de maitriser l'épaisseur du matériau.This procedure is not fully satisfactory because it requires a lot of attention to detail and time and does not allow to control the thickness of the material.

On connaît d'après le document WO9316810 un dispositif permettant d'appliquer un cordon de mastic sur une face d'un panneau en le positionnant par rapport au chant du panneau. Ce dispositif peut se fixer sur une buse d'un pistolet de mastic et comprend un bras supportant à une extrémité un galet ou un rouleau susceptible de rouler sur le chant et de positionner l'extrémité de la buse par rapport au chant. En ajustant la géométrie du bras, il est possible d'ajuster la distance qui sépare le cordon du chant. Le document US 3,807,351 décrit un dispositif d'application d'un matériau de protection selon le preamble de la revendication 1.
Ce type de dispositif ne permet pas de calibrer de manière précise le cordon car la hauteur du cordon dépend de la section d'ouverture de la buse et/ou de la vitesse de déplacement de la buse ce qui demande une grande dextérité si on souhaite obtenir un cordon constant.We know from the document WO9316810 a device for applying a bead of sealant to a face of a panel by positioning it relative to the edge of the panel. This device can be attached to a nozzle of a putty gun and comprises an arm supporting at one end a roller or roller capable of rolling on the edge and to position the end of the nozzle relative to the edge. By adjusting the geometry of the arm, it is possible to adjust the distance between the cord and the edge. The document US 3,807,351 discloses a device for applying a protective material according to the preamble of claim 1.
This type of device does not allow accurate calibration of the cord because the height of the cord depends on the opening section of the nozzle and / or the speed of displacement of the nozzle which requires a great dexterity if one wishes to obtain a constant cord.

Selon un autre constat, si on utilisait ce type de dispositif pour appliquer un matériau de protection sur le chant, il ne permettrait pas d'empêcher le débordement de la résine sur les faces adjacentes au chant.According to another observation, if this type of device was used to apply a protective material on the edge, it would not prevent the overflow of the resin on the faces adjacent to the edge.

La présente invention vise à pallier les inconvénients de l'art antérieur.The present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

A cet effet, l'objet de la présente invention concerne un dispositif d'application d'un matériau de protection sur un chant d'une pièce, comprenant un corps équipé de moyens d'application du matériau de protection sur le chant, de moyens pour calibrer en hauteur le matériau de protection après son application, d'au moins une butée permettant de positionner le corps du dispositif par rapport au chant et de moyens pour calibrer les bords du matériau de protection comportant deux plaques de lissage prenant appui respectivement contre les faces droite et gauche de la pièce adjacente au chant, au moins l'une des deux plaques de lissage étant mobile par rapport à l'autre plaque de lissage, caractérisé en ce que le corps comprend au moins un bras supportant une plaque de lissage et pivotant par rapport au corps autour d'un axe de rotation de manière à pouvoir régler l'écartement entre les deux plaques de lissage et des moyens de rappel tendant à faire pivoter ledit bras de manière à rapprocher les plaques de lissage.For this purpose, the object of the present invention relates to a device for applying a protective material on a edge of a piece, comprising a body equipped with means for applying the protective material to the edge, means to calibrate in height the protective material after its application, at least one stop for positioning the body of the device relative to the edge and means for calibrating the edges of the protective material having two smoothing plates respectively bearing against the left and right sides of the piece adjacent to the edge, at least one of the two smoothing plates being movable relative to the other smoothing plate, characterized in that the body comprises at least one arm supporting a smoothing plate and pivoting relative to the body about an axis of rotation so as to adjust the spacing between the two smoothing plates and biasing means tending to rotate said arm of in order to bring the smoothing plates closer together.

Sur la figure 1, on a représenté en 10 une pièce avec un chant 12 séparant une face droite 14 et une face gauche 14'. Pour donner un ordre de grandeur, le chant a une longueur de 5 à 15 mm.On the figure 1 there is shown at 10 a piece with a song 12 separating a straight face 14 and a left face 14 '. To give an order of magnitude, the song has a length of 5 to 15 mm.

Une protection sous forme d'un revêtement 16 est prévu sur le chant 12. Pour donner un ordre de grandeur, ce revêtement 16 doit avoir une épaisseur calibrée avec une tolérance de quelques dixièmes de l'ordre de +/- 0,15 mm. En fonction des applications, l'épaisseur est comprise entre 0,3 et 0,7 mm.Protection in the form of a coating 16 is provided on the edge 12. To give an order of magnitude, this coating 16 must have a thickness calibrated with a tolerance of a few tenths of the order of +/- 0.15 mm. Depending on the application, the thickness is between 0.3 and 0.7 mm.

Le revêtement 16 a des bords 18, 18' qui ne vont pas au-delà des plans des faces 14 et 14' pour éviter les risques de débordements du revêtement 16 sur les faces 14, 14' de la pièce.The coating 16 has edges 18, 18 'which do not go beyond the planes of the faces 14 and 14' to avoid the risk of overflowing the coating 16 on the faces 14, 14 'of the workpiece.

Le revêtement 16 est obtenu à partir d'un matériau de protection 26 tel qu'une résine, un mastic ou un produit analogue qui est appliqué sous forme pâteuse ou semi-pâteuse à l'aide d'un dispositif d'application 20 dont deux variantes sont illustrées respectivement sur les figures 2 et 5.The coating 16 is obtained from a protective material 26 such as a resin, a putty or a similar product which is applied in pasty form or semi-pastry using an application device 20, two variants of which are illustrated respectively on the figures 2 and 5 .

Le dispositif se déplace selon une direction référencée 22, le long du chant 12 pour appliquer le matériau de protection 26.The device moves in a direction referenced 22, along the edge 12 to apply the protective material 26.

Pour la suite de la description, on entend par direction longitudinale, la direction selon laquelle s'étend le chant. Un élément est situé à l'avant d'un autre s'il passe au-dessus d'un point du chant lorsque le dispositif se déplace selon la direction 22 avant l'autre élément. Un élément est situé à l'arrière d'un autre s'il passe au-dessus d'un point du chant lorsque le dispositif se déplace selon la direction 22 après l'autre élément.For the rest of the description, longitudinal direction means the direction in which the song extends. One element is located in front of another if it passes over a point of the edge when the device moves in the direction 22 before the other element. One element is located at the back of another if it passes over a point of the edge when the device moves in the direction 22 after the other element.

Selon l'invention, le dispositif 20 comprend des moyens d'application 24 du matériau de protection 26 sur le chant 12 à protéger, des moyens 28 pour calibrer en hauteur le matériau de protection 26 de manière à obtenir un matériau de protection 26 calibré, situés à l'arrière des moyens d'application 24 et au moins une butée 30 permettant de positionner le dispositif par rapport au chant 12, située à l'avant des moyens d'alimentation.According to the invention, the device 20 comprises means 24 for applying the protection material 26 to the edge 12 to be protected, means 28 for calibrating the protective material 26 in height so as to obtain a calibrated protection material 26, located at the rear of the application means 24 and at least one stop 30 for positioning the device relative to the edge 12, located at the front of the supply means.

Selon un mode de réalisation illustré sur les figures 2, 3A, 3B, 3C, le dispositif comprend un corps 32 allongé comprenant au niveau de sa surface inférieure 34 deux patins espacés 36, 36' assurant la fonction de butée de positionnement 30. Comme illustré sur la figure 4, les patins 36, 36' ont une section en U dont les extrémités des branches sont orientées vers la pièce 10. La base du U de chaque patin 36, 36' coulisse le long du chant. Les branches du U sont suffisamment espacées pour venir de part et d'autre de la pièce 10.According to an embodiment illustrated on the Figures 2, 3A , 3B, 3C , the device comprises an elongated body 32 comprising at its lower surface 34 two spaced shoes 36, 36 'providing the positional stop function 30. As shown in FIG. figure 4 , the pads 36, 36 'have a U-shaped section whose ends of the branches are oriented towards the piece 10. The base of the U of each pad 36, 36' slides along the edge. The branches of the U are sufficiently spaced to come on both sides of the piece 10.

Les patins 36, 36' sont reliés au corps 32 de manière démontable à l'aide d'au moins une vis pour chaque patin. Ainsi, les patins 36, 36' peuvent être changés en cas d'usure et/ou afin d'adapter l'écartement entre les branches du U à la largeur du chant et/ou afin d'ajuster la hauteur du matériau.The pads 36, 36 'are connected to the body 32 in a removable manner with the aid of at least one screw for each pad. Thus, the pads 36, 36 'can be changed in case of wear and / or to adapt the spacing between the legs of the U to the width of the edge and / or to adjust the height of the material.

Pour faciliter le coulissement des patins 36, 36' sur le chant 12, ces derniers sont réalisés en un matériau possédant un faible coefficient de frottement comme le polytétrafluoroéthylène par exemple.To facilitate the sliding of the pads 36, 36 'on the edge 12, the latter are made of a material having a low coefficient of friction such as polytetrafluoroethylene for example.
