Definitions

  • the invention relates to the bending of metal profiles. More specifically, the invention relates to a tool for bending profiles, in particular shock absorption crosspieces for a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 (see for example US-A-3,359,776 ).
  • shock absorbers are arranged at the front and at the rear.
  • These absorbers generally include a cross member joined to the vehicle body by means of shock absorbers and plates to improve the behavior of the interface.
  • the cross member is advantageously an extruded aluminum profile which undergoes a bending operation in order to take a predetermined arcuate shape.
  • stretch bending process also known by the Anglo-Saxon expression “stretch bending”; is particularly indicated.
  • the document US 8,950,228 B2 discloses press tools for bending aluminum sleepers of vehicle shock absorbers.
  • the bending tool has a punch and a die disposed between side jaws. The latter make it possible to maintain the raw profile during its bending.
  • the punch and the die have complementary curvatures which are configured to provide a predetermined curvature to the profile, so that it becomes a crosspiece. This tooling allows bending in traction which prevents elastic return. It is also suitable for mass production of sleepers.
  • the automotive sector produces a multitude of vehicle models; often with different sleepers.
  • the camber of the sleepers varies from one vehicle to another at the same automobile manufacturer.
  • a front cross member differs from that at the rear of a given vehicle. All of this means increasing the tools required for each model of sleeper, which impacts the cost of vehicles.
  • the invention aims to solve at least one of the problems posed by the prior art. More specifically, the invention aims to reduce the cost of bending several models of profiles whose curvatures differ.
  • the subject of the invention is a tool for bending profiles, in particular shock absorption crosspieces for a vehicle as defined in claim 1.
  • the invention offers a substantial economic gain since the basic bending tool can be used for different shapes thanks to the replaceable bending bodies.
  • the latter are adapters which are changed according to the sleepers to be produced; either according to the different vehicle models. This allows a significant saving since a body is less expensive to produce than a whole bending tool.
  • the invention makes it possible to produce different curves at lower cost despite the extent of the range to be produced. It promotes the control of the evolution of the radius of curvature along the cross member, and therefore to adapt as well as possible to the needs of each vehicle which reduces the cost to achieve a given safety.
  • the invention offers a saving in labor.
  • the settings are also simplified.
  • the invention offers a gain against wear. Replacing a body is less expensive than replacing the complete tool. In the case of reloading, this operation is simpler to perform on an isolated body than on the entire tool, or even on a support. The impact of any repairs is further reduced by the fragmentation of the tool.
  • the lateral direction is considered transversely to the closing and opening direction of the tool, the latter direction possibly corresponding to the vertical direction.
  • the length is heard along the profile, in particular according to its direction of extrusion.
  • the bending operation is understood as a plastic deformation of the profile.
  • the figure 1 presents the bending tool 2 for profile 4 in the open position.
  • Tool 2 is particularly suitable for shaping profiles 4 of previously extruded aluminum.
  • the length of the profile 4 can be greater than 0.50 m or 1 m. Its general thickness can be greater than 30 mm, while the thickness of its wall can exceed or reach 0.5 mm.
  • Tool 2 is intended to be mounted on a stamping press (not shown).
  • the bending tool 2 comprises a lower support 6 intended to be mounted on the lower frame of the press, and an upper support 8 intended to be mounted on the upper frame of the press.
  • the bringing together of the supports (6; 8) caused by the press allows the shaping of the profile 4.
  • the lower support 6, or first support 6, forms a base receiving two bending bodies (10; 12). Each bending body (10; 12) has a bending surface cooperating with the profile 4 in order to shape it. Although the first 10 and the second 12 bodies can be directly linked to the lower support 6, they are connected via pivoting blocks (14; 16). The latter are articulated with respect to the lower support 6. They can tilt using rotary connections and actuators 18 allowing them to be driven in rotation and to exert an additional bending force; if necessary. These actuators 18 can be electric or pneumatic cylinders. They can be linear actuators.
  • the upper support 8, or second support 8 receives a third bending body 20.
  • This third body 20 has a bending surface cooperating with the profile in order to arch it in combination with the first body 10 and the second body 12. For this purpose, it can extend over substantially the entire length of the latter.
  • the third body 20 can be connected to the upper support 8 via a third block 22 at their interface. He separates them.
  • Each block (14; 16; 22) communicates the bending forces of the support associated with the body which it connects to it.
  • the bending surfaces of the bodies (10; 12; 20) can be generally curved. They reproduce the surfaces which profile 4 must adopt after bending. In general, the bodies are less thick, and / or less heavy than their associated blocks (14; 16; 22) or supports (6; 8). This tends to reduce the costs of each body, and therefore the investment to make several models of sleepers.
  • the tool 2 may include holding means 24 enclosing the ends of the profile 4.
  • the holding means 24 may comprise mandrels and or jaws. They are arranged on either side of the bodies (10; 12; 20) in order to retain the ends of the profiles 4 while the bending surfaces shape the central part of the section.
  • the lateral and vertical retention of the ends of the profile 4 by the holding means 24 allow a general elongation of the profile 4 during its bending.
  • the bending tool can perform stretch bending.
  • the holding means 24 can be linked to the second support 8 in a pivoting manner. This makes it possible to produce cross ends with a certain inclination. Actuators (not shown) can control the rotation of the holding means 24 in order to modulate the inclination of the ends of the profile, and possibly to rotate these ends relative to the tangent of the profile 4.
  • the holding means 24 can be provided with adapters 26.
  • the spacing between the holding means 24 can be adjusted in order to shape the profiles of different lengths. This will make it possible to produce sleepers mounted on vehicles whose center distance between the stretchers varies.
  • At least one or each body (10; 12; 20) is removably mounted relative to the support (6; 8) on which it depends. More specifically, the bodies can be removably fixed relative to their block (14; 16; 22) of reception.
  • the tool 2 may have reversible fixing means 28. These fixing means 28 engage in a block (14; 16; 22), and clamp thereon a body which they pass through. They may include screws.
  • the figure 2 represents the bending tool 2 in closed configuration, configuration in which the section 4 has undergone bending.
  • the second support 8 has been gradually brought closer to the first support 6. Simultaneously, the first body 10 and the second body 12 have tilted under the effect of the actuators 18. In concert, the holding means 24 have tilted in the same direction as the neighboring body (10; 12). The first body 10 and the second body 12 sink into the third body 20 stamping in passing the profile 4 located at their interface. They also approach their corresponding holding means 24.
  • the third body 20 acts as a matrix, while the first body 10 and the second body 12 perform the function of a punch engaging in the matrix. This kinematics makes it possible to produce complex shapes, by further controlling the deformation in the profile 4.
  • the radius of curvature of the latter can be variable over its length.
  • the section 4 Since the positions of the ends of the section 4 are fixed relative to the second support 8, the section 4 is enlarged. Its elongation can be observed on its convex face and on its concave face. The elongation of the profile can be greater than 1% or 3% or 5%.
  • the figure 3 shows a cross member 30 produced using the bending tool according to the invention. Different concave surfaces of crosspieces are drawn using dotted lines.
  • the crosspiece 30 shows a generally arcuate shape. Its thickness can be scalable. Its ends 32 can be thinned, using the stamping tool or during a preliminary shaping step. The ends 32 can be inclined relative to each other. It is remarkable that the ends 32 form breaks relative to the general curvature of the cross-member 30, which makes it possible to materialize specific fixing zones. This makes it possible to guarantee certain behaviors during predefined standard collisions.
  • the invention makes it possible to create crosspieces 30 with different arrows F, and this with the same supports, and the same optional blocks.
  • the arrow F can be greater than 10 mm, or 30 mm or 60 mm.
  • the radius of curvature may vary.
  • the cross member can be flat in the center.
  • the sleepers produced from the same tool base can be mounted on passenger vehicles such as utility vehicles. They each meet the standard shock safety requirements ranging from 2 km / h to 67km / h.
