Definitions
- the invention relates to an assembly of an exhaust hose and a device for protecting said hose.
- the flexible exhaust is welded to a flared flange, which is fixed by screwing on a flange of the exhaust manifold, engine side.
- a temporary protective device surrounds the hose to protect it in particular from welding attacks.
- connection between flanges is replaced by a "biconic" connection between the motor flange and one end of the hose, said connection being ensured by a circular clamping collar, as disclosed in the document WO03/011678A1 .
- the collar To guarantee accessibility for assembly in the factory, and for disassembly after sales in the garage, the collar must be indexed in position on the hose. In other words, the hose and the collar are assembled at one place, then are transported thus assembled to another place, where the hose must be mounted on a vehicle, said other place being able for example to be a particular zone of a chain of assembly of said vehicle.
- the current protector only protects the hose and not the clamp premounted on the hose.
- a device for protecting an assembly according to the invention makes it possible to guarantee the protection of both the hose and the collar, as disclosed in the document DE20013124U1 .
- the subject of the invention is an assembly of an exhaust hose provided with a flared end around which is mounted a clamp, and a device for protecting said hose.
- the protection device comprises a box provided with two parts articulated around an axis of rotation, said two articulated parts being able to fold against each other by pivoting to envelop the entire flexible , flared end and collar.
- This device of protection is particularly effective because it encloses the hose, the flared end and the collar.
- a box is made of plastic.
- the purpose of the hose clamp is to secure the hose to an engine flange.
- the case once it has been closed over the hose, the flared end and the collar, has a mushroom shape, with a straight cylindrical foot extended by an enlarged rounded head.
- a case has a generally rounded shape, without having any particular roughness and which promotes easy handling.
- the two parts are complementary so as to form a hollow box once they have been folded against each other.
- the hose is a hollow cylindrical part, the housing being a part having a hollow cylindrical body intended to envelop the hose, and an enlarged closed head intended to envelop the flared end and the collar.
- the profile of the box adapts to the profile of the assembly formed by the hose, the flared end and the clamping collar.
- the case is dimensioned as accurately as possible so as to completely envelop this assembly, without creating superfluous free spaces between said case and said assembly.
- the axis of rotation is placed in abutment against the flared end, the two parts which are initially placed on either side of the hose, being folded over the latter to enclose the flared end provided with the collar clamp and said hose.
- the flared end is hollow, the casing comprising a centering pin intended to penetrate into said end in order to preposition the protection device with respect to the hose.
- the centering pin is first inserted into the flared end of the hose so as to correctly preposition the box on said hose. It then becomes easy to fold the two hinged parts against each other.
- the centering pin is cylindrical.
- said pin is hollow in order in particular to lighten the protective case.
- the centering pin is elongated and has a collar whose plane is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said pin, said collar serving as a support element for the two articulated parts which have folded against each other. .
- the collar plays the role of a spacer capable of holding the enlarged head of the protection device, in a rounded configuration.
- the two articulated parts each have fastening means capable of cooperating together, to make it possible to secure said parts to one another when they envelop the hose, the flared end and the collar.
- fastening means capable of cooperating together, to make it possible to secure said parts to one another when they envelop the hose, the flared end and the collar.
- the fixing means are plastic clips. These are the simplest and quickest fixing means to implement, requiring neither special tools nor complicated manipulations.
- the hollow enlarged head is sized with respect to the clamping collar so as to leave a clearance between said head and said collar.
- the clamp is an added piece which is just placed on the flared end of the hose, the protective box must not interfere with said collar, under penalty of moving or damaging said collar at the slightest shock produced on said box.
- the hose has an end collar, the two articulated parts bearing against the collar when they enclose the hose, the flared end and the collar, in order to prevent any sliding of the protection device along flexible.
- the protective box has been mounted around the hose, the flared end and the clamp, nothing prevents it from sliding along said hose.
- the purpose of this end flange is to prevent this sliding by constituting a stopper for the protective casing.
- Another object of the invention is a protection device for producing an assembly according to the invention.
- a protection device comprises a box provided with two parts articulated around an axis of rotation, said assembly comprising a centering pin on which said axis of rotation is fixed.
- An assembly according to the invention has the advantage of comprising a hose directly ready for assembly, thanks to the presence of the clamp, and of being able to transport it in complete safety to the places where it is assembled thanks to a box enveloping the entire hose and clamp.
- the protective box used in an assembly according to the invention has the advantage of being easy and quick to place around the hose, and of being able to be removed just as easily and quickly before mounting the hose on a vehicle.
- Such a protective box also has the advantage of being sized to be able to protect a hose provided with its clamping collar without interfering with said clamping collar.
- An assembly 1 comprises an assembly composed of a flexible hose 2 provided with a flared end 3 and a clamp 4, and a protection device 5 intended to protect this assembly in order to convey it in complete safety. to a mounting point of said hose 2 on a vehicle engine.
- the hose 2 is a hollow cylindrical part of elongated shape, having a flared end 3 formed by a hollow flange inserted into said hose 2 and emerging therefrom.
- the part 6 of the flange 3 which emerges from the flexible 2 consists of a wall of frustoconical shape, the cross section of said part 6 increasing regularly as one moves away from the flexible 2.
- the flexible 2 is intended to be fixed on a flange 7 of an engine, which is a hollow cylindrical part having an annular bead 8 locally widening said flange 7.
- the bead 8 is delimited by two edges 9, 10 in continuous with each other and inclined with respect to each other, so that the cross-section of the bead 8 is maximum at the level of its central circumference 11, and decreases progressively on either side of said circumference central 11.
- the flexible 2 is fixed in the flange 7 of the engine by means of an insertion of said flange 7 in the flange 3 of the flexible 2 until one of the edges 9, 10 delimiting the bead 8 comes in contact with an internal surface of the frustoconical wall of the emerging part of the flange 3 of the hose 2.
- the collar 4 is in the form of a ring delimited by two edges 12, 13 so that the cross section of said ring is maximum at its central circumference and decreases progressively on either side of said central circumference.
- This ring 4 covers the bead 8 of the flange 7 of the motor, and the frustoconical wall 6 of the flange 3 of the hose 2, a tightening of the said collar 4 pressing the said frustoconical wall 6 against one of the edges 9, 10 delimiting the said bead 8.
- the protection device 5 is composed of a box comprising two parts 15, 16 articulated around an axis of rotation 17 and a centering pin 18.
- the two parts 15, 16 are identical and each comprise a semi-cylindrical hollow body 19 extended by a hollow half-head 20 of frustoconical shape.
- the two parts 15, 16 are continuous and are connected to each other by means of the axis of rotation 17 which can for example be constituted by a strip of material of less thickness and capable of bending to bring them closer or further apart.
- the two parts 15, 16 and the axis of rotation 18 are made of the same material.
- the centering pin 18 comprises an elongated hollow cylindrical body 21 and a planar and annular flange 22, the plane of which is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said elongated body 21.
- the hollow cylindrical body 21 has a first end at which is located the flange 22 and a second free end ending in a hollow cylindrical section 23 of reduced diameter compared to the diameter of the rest of said body 21, this difference in diameter inducing a shoulder 30.
- the axis of rotation 17 located between the two articulated parts 15, 16 is secured to the centering pin 18 at an area center of the flange 22.
- the centering pin 18, the two articulated parts 15, 16 and the axis of rotation 17 are made of the same material.
- the two parts 15, 16 are capable of moving from an open position, as illustrated in Figures 3, 4A , And 4B to a closed position, as shown in figure 6 And 7 , for which said two parts 15, 16 are folded against each other by means of a pivoting in the direction materialized by the two arrows 24, 25 of the figure 6 .
- the two parts 15, 16 are complementary to form a hollow piece having the shape of a mushroom, equipped with a cylindrical body of constant diameter, extended by an enlarged cylindrical head 27 having a variable diameter and greater than that of said body 26.
- the hose 2 has a rear flange 40 against which the free ends of the two articulated parts 15, 16 come into abutment, in order to prevent the protective device from sliding along the hose 2.
- the enlarged cylindrical head 27 is dimensioned so that there is a clearance between said part 27 and the clamp 4 mounted on the widened end 3 of the hose 2.
- the protective device 5 is temporarily mounted on the hose 2, the time to route it to the place of its mounting on a vehicle. Once the “hose/protection device” assembly has been routed to the right place, the protection device is then removed just as easily and quickly as it was fitted around said hose 2.
