Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for storing and transporting at least one continuous extruded seal for a motor vehicle.
  • a motor vehicle comprises several extruded gaskets, in particular gaskets which are made of an elastomeric material. These gaskets have an elongated shape and may have a predetermined length depending on their application. They are then precut to this length at the outlet of the extrusion line.
  • the joints can be produced continuously or endlessly and be delivered as is to a customer who can then cut joint lengths according to his needs. These continuous joints are commonly called “endless” in the automotive field.
  • the storage and transport of this type of seal are generally carried out by means of a coil.
  • the spool includes a hub with a horizontal axis around which the continuous seal is wound, with side walls located at each end of the hub to retain the seal on the hub. It has already been proposed to wind such a seal around a hub with a vertical axis. In this case, we speak of a winding on a plate, this plate being horizontal and supporting the seal which is wound around the hub carried by the plate.
  • Storage devices comprising a hub are known from EP 1 460 017 A1 , DE 21 45 840 A1 , US 6,296,118 B1 Where WO 2016/176289 A1 .
  • the present invention provides an improvement to this technology.
  • the invention provides for this purpose a device for storing and transporting at least one continuous extruded seal for a motor vehicle, comprising a horizontal plate and a hub with a vertical axis, said hub having a frustoconical shape, one end of which is larger.
  • the device further comprising a peripheral wall extending around said hub and having a frustoconical shape, one end of which has a smaller diameter being connected to said plate, this peripheral wall defining with the hub an annular space for winding and storage of the seal which is intended to rest at least in part on said plate and said peripheral wall, characterized in that said plate comprises soles for bearing on a ground and / or for receiving the fork arms of a forklift truck , and in that said annular space is configured to receive at least a part of another device when the devices are stacked vertically one on top of the other and one inside the other in a storage position in which the devices are stacked vertically.
  • the devices are configured to bear on one another, by resting the soles of an upper device on the plate of a lower device.
  • the invention thus proposes to use an annular “basin” for storing and transporting an extruded continuous seal.
  • This device differs from the plate of the prior art by the peripheral wall which extends around the hub and makes it possible to retain the seal wound around the hub.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to limit or even eliminate the winding tension in the seal because it is simply placed in the device.
  • the weight constraint can be managed by the product itself.
  • a first seal portion can be arranged so that a more rigid part of the seal supports a similar part of a second seal portion disposed directly on the first portion. This makes it possible not to alter the less rigid and therefore more deformable parts of the seal.
  • the seal shrinkage stress can be managed by clearances between the windings or turns of the seal.
  • a stack of several basins thus comprises an intermediate basin which is engaged at least in part in the space of a lower basin and which receives in its space at least part of an upper basin.
  • the optimization of the storage volume of the basins is particularly important.
  • the basins can have large dimensions and volume. When they are filled with gaskets, their storage volume cannot be optimized so as not to crush and damage the gaskets. When they are empty, on the other hand, they can be stacked one inside the other so as to significantly reduce their storage volume. This is particularly important when returning empty basins, after delivery of seals to a customer.
  • the basins are supported on a floor and can be transported by means of the soles.
  • These soles have another particularly advantageous function because they are configured to rest on the top of a lower basin in a stack of basins. This support prevents the stacked basins from having their peripheral walls or hubs which are embedded in force and stuck in each other, which would result in a significant force necessary for them. disassembly or disassembly and also a risk of deterioration of the basins during this operation. On the contrary, the force of withdrawal of a basin from a stack depends only on the weight of this basin.
  • the present invention also relates to an assembly comprising a device as described above and a reinforcement and stacking cage, this cage comprising a horizontal base and peripheral barriers which define between them and with said base a housing for receiving a device.
  • the invention also relates to a method for winding an extruded continuous seal, such as a seal for a motor vehicle, in a device or an assembly as described above, in which a robot is engaged at least in part in said space and used to wrap the seal around said hub which can be rotated, so that the seal is organized in said space by superimposed horizontal layers comprising, from bottom to top, a first layer in which the seal is rolled up on itself from the hub to the wall peripheral, a second layer in which the seal is wound from the peripheral wall to the hub, and so on.

  • a robot 22 for example of the six-axis type, or a three-axis or more trancanning system. (in translation or in rotation), comprises a head 23 for handling the seal 12.
  • the seal 12 passes through guides 24 and reaches the head 23 of the robot which is engaged in the space E of the device 10 in order to wind up the seal around the hub 16.
  • one end of the seal 12 is first of all positioned by the head of the robot as close as possible to the hub 16.
  • the device 10 is moved in rotation around the axis. X of its hub so that the seal wraps around the hub.
  • the seal is thus wrapped around itself to form a first joint layer C1, in the direction of the arrow on the figure 1 , up to the vicinity of the wall 18.
  • the seal is then wound inside itself and on the first layer, to form a second layer C2 in the direction of the arrow.

  • the seal is then wound inside itself and on the third layer, to form a fourth layer C4 in the direction of the arrow.

  • the seal 12 comprises an adhesive strip 12b covered with a non-stick coating, as illustrated in figure 1
  • the seal is preferably wound so that this strip extends in a substantially cylindrical manner around the hub.
  • the adhesive strip is placed opposite the X axis, which makes it possible to eliminate any tensile stress on the non-stick coating and therefore prevents twisting of the seal and detaching of the coating.

  • the lateral face of the seal 12 which rests on the plate 14 or which is oriented towards the plate is preferably that which is not intended to be visible by a user of the vehicle fitted with this seal. This allows the opposite side face to have more time to cool down. at the extrusion outlet before being covered with a layer, and thus limits the risk of marking the seal during winding.

  • the figure 23 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the basin 310 in which the soles 326 are formed by an axial downward extension of the peripheral wall 318.
  • This wall 318 in fact extends under the plane formed by the plate 314 and thus comprises an extension lower referenced 318a.
  • This extension 318a comprises notches 318b which extend axially from the lower free edge of the extension to the plate 314 in the example shown. These notches 318b result in a sectorization of the extension 318a which thus comprises sectors forming soles.
  • the number of notches 318b is equal to the number of sectors and therefore of flanges 326, and is here four.
  • the notches 318b may have a general U, C, V shape, the opening of which opens out downwards. Alternatively, the notches could be O-shaped lights.
  • the notches 318b can be sized and positioned to accommodate the arms of a fork of a forklift truck.
  • the soles 326 are therefore designed to rest on the ground or on a plate 314 of another device (in the case of a stack of devices 310) and are therefore not intended to receive or to cooperate with a fork (which rather cooperates with the notches 318b provided between these soles 326).
  • the flanges (wall sectors) each have a generally curved shape around the axis of the hub 316.
  • extension 318a could not include notches 318b and the flanges 326 would then be formed by a single annular element, namely the extension 318a.
