Description

ENSEMBLE COMPRENANT UN OUTIL D'ANGLAGE ET UN OUTIL DE  ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A TOOL FOR ANGLING AND A TOOL
SERTISSAGE DE DEUX PIÈCES EN TOLE  TWO-PIECE CRIMPING
La présente invention concerne un ensemble comprenant un outil d'anglage et un outil de sertissage de deux pièces en tôle. The present invention relates to an assembly comprising a chamfering tool and a tool for crimping two pieces of sheet metal.
L'invention concerne également l'application d'un tel ensemble à la réalisation d'ouvrants tels que des portes, des capots ou des volets de véhicules automobiles.  The invention also relates to the application of such an assembly to the production of openings such as doors, hoods or shutters of motor vehicles.
L'assemblage d'ouvrants de ce type est réalisé de façon connue par un procédé de sertissage.  The assembly of such openings is made in known manner by a crimping process.
La figure 1 est une vue en coupe montrant deux pièces en tôle 1 , 2 dont les bords 1 a, 2a sont assemblés par sertissage.  Figure 1 is a sectional view showing two sheet metal parts 1, 2, the edges 1a, 2a are assembled by crimping.
Pour réaliser ce sertissage, on superpose les deux pièces en tôle 1 , 2 sur une matrice et on replie complètement le bord 1 a de l'une 1 des pièces sur le bord 2a de l'autre pièce 2, grâce à un galet porté par robot que l'on fait rouler sur le bord 1 a ci-dessus.  To achieve this crimping, the two sheet metal parts 1, 2 are superimposed on a matrix and the edge 1a of the one part 1 is completely folded over the edge 2a of the other part 2, thanks to a roller carried by robot that is rolled on the edge 1a above.
Dans certaines zones de l'ouvrant présentant un angle aigu, il est impossible de sertir les deux pièces en tôle et il est dans ce cas nécessaire de procéder à une opération d'anglage, comme illustré par la figure 2.  In certain areas of the opening having an acute angle, it is impossible to crimp the two sheet metal parts and it is necessary in this case to perform a chamfering operation, as shown in FIG. 2.
Cette opération d'anglage consiste à pré-plier le bord 1 a de la pièce 1 sur le bord 2a de la pièce 2.  This chamfering operation consists in pre-folding the edge 1a of the piece 1 on the edge 2a of the piece 2.
Cet anglage peut être réalisé :  This chamfering can be realized:
- soit par une unité rotative ou linéaire,  - either by a rotary or linear unit,
- soit par un outil d'anglage robotisé.  - or by a robotized chamfering tool.
L'anglage par unité rotative ou linéaire est une solution coûteuse, encombrante et de masse importante.  Rotating or linear unit chamfering is an expensive, bulky and mass-weighted solution.
L'anglage robotisé est moins encombrant et moins coûteux.  Robotic chamfering is less bulky and less expensive.
En revanche, il mobilise une partie de l'outil de sertissage présent sur le robot.  On the other hand, it mobilizes a part of the crimping tool present on the robot.
De ce fait, le sertissage est rendu plus difficile, en raison de cette présence. As a result, crimping is made more difficult because of this presence.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients. The object of the present invention is to overcome these disadvantages.
Ce but est atteint, selon l'invention, grâce à un ensemble comprenant un outil d'anglage et un outil de sertissage de deux pièces en tôle, l'outil d'anglage comportant un bâti fixe sur lequel est monté pivotant un bras portant une lame destinée à prendre appui sur le bord de l'une des pièces en tôle pour le replier sur le bord de l'autre pièce et l'outil de sertissage comprenant une tête de sertissage équipée d'un galet de sertissage par roulage, cette tête de sertissage étant portée par un robot, caractérisé en ce que le bras pivotant de l'outil d'anglage comprend une ouverture cylindrique dans laquelle peut être monté le galet de sertissage de ladite tête de sertissage pour que le robot portant cette dernière puisse commander le pivotement dudit bras. This object is achieved, according to the invention, thanks to an assembly comprising a chamfering tool and a tool for crimping two pieces of sheet metal, the chamfering tool. comprising a fixed frame on which is pivotally mounted an arm carrying a blade intended to bear on the edge of one of the sheet metal parts for folding on the edge of the other part and the crimping tool comprising a head of crimping device equipped with a crimping roller by rolling, this crimping head being carried by a robot, characterized in that the pivoting arm of the chamfering tool comprises a cylindrical opening in which the crimping roller of said crimping device can be mounted crimping head so that the robot carrying the latter can control the pivoting of said arm.
On crée ainsi une liaison rotative directe entre le galet et l'ouverture cylindrique du bras de l'outil d'anglage pour que le robot puisse commander le pivotement du bras.  This creates a direct rotational connection between the roller and the cylindrical opening of the arm of the chamfering tool so that the robot can control the pivoting of the arm.
Lorsqu'on veut utiliser l'outil de sertissage pour sertir ensemble deux pièces, il suffit de dégager le galet de l'ouverture cylindrique du bras.  When it is desired to use the crimping tool to crimp together two pieces, it is sufficient to disengage the roller from the cylindrical opening of the arm.
Dans une version préférée de l'invention, le galet de sertissage de ladite tête de sertissage est monté de façon amovible dans ladite ouverture cylindrique entre une position dans laquelle le galet est engagé dans cette ouverture et une position dans laquelle le galet est dégagé de cette ouverture pour que ce galet puisse réaliser une opération de sertissage.  In a preferred version of the invention, the crimping roller of said crimping head is removably mounted in said cylindrical opening between a position in which the roller is engaged in this opening and a position in which the roller is released from this opening so that the roller can perform a crimping operation.
La forme cylindrique de l'ouverture du bras pivotant facilite l'engagement et le dégagement du galet de cette ouverture.  The cylindrical shape of the opening of the pivoting arm facilitates the engagement and release of the roller of this opening.
De préférence également, ladite ouverture est équipée d'une bague ayant un diamètre supérieur à celui dudit galet de sertissage.  Also preferably, said opening is equipped with a ring having a diameter greater than that of said crimping roller.
Cette bague est de préférence auto-lubrifiante, comme les bagues formant palier pour l'arbre d'un moteur électrique.  This ring is preferably self-lubricating, as bearing rings for the shaft of an electric motor.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, le bras de l'outil d'anglage est mobile dans un plan vertical.  In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the arm of the chamfering tool is movable in a vertical plane.
Selon d'autres particularités avantageuses de l'invention :  According to other advantageous features of the invention:
- ledit bras est mobile entre une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture de l'outil d'anglage ;  said arm is movable between an open position and a closed position of the chamfering tool;
- lesdites positions d'ouverture et de fermeture sont limitées par des butées solidaires du bâti fixe de l'outil d'anglage ;  said opening and closing positions are limited by abutments integral with the fixed frame of the chamfering tool;
- lesdites positions d'ouverture et de fermeture sont détectées chacune par un détecteur. Selon un autre aspect, l'invention concerne également l'application de l'ensemble selon l'invention, à l'anglage et au sertissage de deux pièces en tôle pour réaliser un ouvrant de véhicule automobile. said opening and closing positions are each detected by a detector. According to another aspect, the invention also relates to the application of the assembly according to the invention, the chamfering and crimping of two sheet metal parts to produce a motor vehicle door.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront encore tout au long de la description ci-après.  Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent throughout the description below.
Aux dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples, non limitatifs :  In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples:
- la figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'un outil d'anglage d'un ensemble selon l'invention,  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a chamfering tool of an assembly according to the invention,
- la figure 4 est une autre vue en perspective de l'outil d'anglage représenté sur la figure 3,  FIG. 4 is another perspective view of the chamfering tool shown in FIG. 3,
- la figure 5 est une vue latérale de la partie supérieure de l'outil d'anglage, représenté sur les figures 3 et 4, montrant le galet d'une tête de sertissage en position engagée dans l'ouverture cylindrique du bras pivotant de l'outil d'anglage, réalisant une action d'anglage en tirant, - la figure 6 est une autre vue latérale de la partie supérieure de l'outil d'anglage et du galet en position dans l'ouverture du bras de l'outil d'anglage, réalisant une action d'anglage en poussant.  - Figure 5 is a side view of the upper part of the chamfering tool, shown in Figures 3 and 4, showing the roller of a crimping head in position engaged in the cylindrical opening of the pivoting arm of the chamfering tool, performing a chamfering action by pulling, - Figure 6 is another side view of the upper part of the chamfering tool and the roller in position in the opening of the arm of the tool of chamfering, performing a champing action by pushing.
Les figures 3 et 4 représentent un outil d'anglage comportant un bâti fixe 3 sur lequel est monté pivotant, suivant un axe 4, un bras 5 portant une lame 6.  FIGS. 3 and 4 show a chamfering tool comprising a fixed frame 3 on which is pivotally mounted, along an axis 4, an arm 5 carrying a blade 6.
Cette lame 6 est destinée à prendre appui sur le bord d'une pièce en tôle 1 pour replier celui-ci sur le bord d'une autre pièce 2, comme montré sur la figure 2.  This blade 6 is intended to bear on the edge of a sheet metal part 1 to fold it on the edge of another part 2, as shown in Figure 2.
Ces deux pièces sont disposées l'une sur l'autre sur une matrice 7.  These two pieces are arranged one on the other on a matrix 7.
Un dispositif de serrage porte à son extrémité une touche 8 qui est agencée pour venir en contact avec la pièce 2 pour maintenir les pièces 1 et 2 en position, la pièce 1 se situant entre la pièce 2 et la matrice 7.  A clamping device carries at its end a key 8 which is arranged to come into contact with the workpiece 2 to hold the workpieces 1 and 2 in position, the workpiece 1 being situated between the workpiece 2 and the die 7.
Les figures 5 et 6 représentent un outil de sertissage comprenant une tête de sertissage 1 1 équipée d'un galet 10 de sertissage par roulage. Le bras 5 est l'élément mobile de la tête 1 1 qui porte le galet 1 0.  Figures 5 and 6 show a crimping tool comprising a crimping head 1 1 equipped with a roller crimping roller 10. The arm 5 is the movable element of the head 1 1 which carries the roller 1 0.
Cette tête de sertissage 1 1 est portée par le bras d'un robot.  This crimping head 1 1 is carried by the arm of a robot.
Comme montré sur les figures 3 à 6, le bras pivotant 5 de l'outil d'anglage comprend une ouverture cylindrique 12 dans laquelle peut être monté (voir figures 5 et 6) le galet 10 de sertissage de la tête de sertissage 1 1 pour que le robot portant cette dernière puisse commander le pivotement du bras 5 afin que la lame 6 puisse réaliser une opération d'anglage. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the pivoting arm 5 of the chamfering tool comprises a cylindrical opening 12 in which can be mounted (see FIGS. 5 and 6) the crimping roller 10 of the crimping head 1 1 for that the robot carrying the latter can control the pivoting of the arm 5 so that the blade 6 can perform a chamfering operation.
Le galet 10 de sertissage de la tête de sertissage 1 1 est monté de façon amovible dans l'ouverture cylindrique 12 entre une position dans laquelle le galet 10 est engagé dans cette ouverture 12 et une position dans laquelle le galet 10 est dégagé de cette ouverture 12 pour que ce galet 10 puisse réaliser une opération de sertissage.  The crimping roller 10 of the crimping head 11 is removably mounted in the cylindrical opening 12 between a position in which the roller 10 is engaged in this opening 12 and a position in which the roller 10 is disengaged from this opening. 12 so that the roller 10 can perform a crimping operation.
Les figures 3 et 4 montrent en particulier que l'ouverture 12 est équipée d'une bague 13 ayant un diamètre supérieur à celui du galet 10 de sertissage.  Figures 3 and 4 show in particular that the opening 12 is equipped with a ring 13 having a diameter greater than that of the crimping roller 10.
La bague 13 est de préférence auto-lubrifiante.  The ring 13 is preferably self-lubricating.
Le bras 5 de l'outil d'anglage est mobile dans un plan vertical, entre une position d'ouverture et une position de fermeture de l'outil d'anglage.  The arm 5 of the chamfering tool is movable in a vertical plane, between an open position and a closed position of the chamfering tool.
Ces positions d'ouverture et de fermeture sont limitées par des butées 14, 15 solidaires du bâti fixe 3 de l'outil d'anglage, et réglables.  These opening and closing positions are limited by abutments 14, 15 integral with the fixed frame 3 of the chamfering tool, and adjustable.
La butée 15 permet de figer la position fermée dite d'anglage et la butée 14 permet de stopper la course d'ouverture du bras pivotant 5.  The stop 15 makes it possible to freeze the so-called closed chamfering position and the stop 14 makes it possible to stop the opening stroke of the pivoting arm 5.
De plus, ces positions d'ouverture et de fermeture sont détectées chacune par un détecteur 16, 17.  In addition, these opening and closing positions are each detected by a detector 16, 17.
Par ailleurs, les références 18 et 19 désignent respectivement une cale de réglage de la position de la lame 6 par rapport au bras 5 et une plaquette antirotation.  Furthermore, the references 18 and 19 respectively denote a shim for adjusting the position of the blade 6 relative to the arm 5 and an anti-rotation plate.
Lorsque le galet 10 de la tête de sertissage 1 1 est engagé dans l'ouverture 12 du bras pivotant 5, le robot commande le déplacement de ce bras 5 et de la lame 6 entre les positions d'ouverture et de fermeture ou inversement.  When the roller 10 of the crimping head 1 1 is engaged in the opening 12 of the pivoting arm 5, the robot controls the movement of this arm 5 and the blade 6 between the open and closed positions or vice versa.
Dans la position de fermeture, la lame 6 peut effectuer une opération d'anglage.  In the closed position, the blade 6 can perform a chamfering operation.
Lorsque le galet 10 de la tête de sertissage 1 1 est dégagé de l'ouverture 12 du bras 5, cette tête de sertissage 1 1 peut effectuer une opération de sertissage.  When the roller 10 of the crimping head 11 is released from the opening 12 of the arm 5, this crimping head January 1 can perform a crimping operation.
Lors de cette opération de sertissage, la tête de sertissage n'est pas encombrée par un accessoire susceptible de gêner le sertissage.  During this crimping operation, the crimping head is not congested by an accessory that may hinder crimping.
Dans l'exemple représenté sur les figures 3 à 6, la bague 13 est entière car dans le cas décrit ci-dessus, le robot réalise la trajectoire de retour en position d'origine. Dans un autre cas, la bague est coupée en demi-cylindre (tenue par vis + plaquettes d'arrêt) et le retour en position du bras se fait par un ressort de rappel. In the example shown in Figures 3 to 6, the ring 13 is entire because in the case described above, the robot performs the return path in the original position. In another case, the ring is cut in half-cylinder (held by screws + stoppers) and the return to position of the arm is by a return spring.
Le choix d'une liaison par cylindre est justifié par le fait qu'ainsi on peut maîtriser la cote entre l'axe de rotation et le point d'appui des efforts du robot, une simple plaquette permettrait au galet de glisser et de modifier cette cote qui garantit l'effort minimum requis.  The choice of a connection per cylinder is justified by the fact that thus one can control the dimension between the axis of rotation and the fulcrum of the efforts of the robot, a simple plate would allow the roller to slide and modify this rating that guarantees the minimum effort required.
