Description
Dispositif de fixation des extrémités de ressorts à lame disposés longitudinalement par rapport au véhicule.Device for fixing the ends of leaf springs arranged longitudinally with respect to the vehicle.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation des extrémités de ressorts à lame disposés longitudinalement par rapport au véhicule. The present invention relates to a device for fixing the ends of leaf springs arranged longitudinally relative to the vehicle.
Pour réaliser la fixation des ressorts à lame en acier, il est connu d'enrouler les extrémités des lames pour former un oeil qui est engagé sur un axe solidaire de la caisse ou châssis du véhicule. To achieve the fixing of steel leaf springs, it is known to wind the ends of the blades to form an eye which is engaged on an axis integral with the body or chassis of the vehicle.
Toutefois, cette solution n'est pas applicable dans le cas de ressorts à lame en matériaux composites qui sont généralement réalisés en fibres de verre noyées dans une matrice en résine. However, this solution is not applicable in the case of leaf springs made of composite materials which are generally made of glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix.
Ceci résulte du procédé de fabrication utilisé pour réaliser ce genre de ressorts (moulage, extrusion ou pultrusion) qui ne permet pas l'obtention de forme compliquées. This results from the manufacturing process used to produce this kind of springs (molding, extrusion or pultrusion) which does not allow obtaining complicated shapes.
Dans la plupart des cas la section de la lame de ressort est constante et pour assurer la liaison avec la caisse du véhicule il est connu de rapporter des embouts ou oeilscollés ou rapportés par serrage sur la lame. In most cases the section of the spring leaf is constant and to ensure the connection with the body of the vehicle it is known to attach ends or eyes glued or attached by clamping on the blade.
Toutefois ce procédé manque de fiabilité et il est généralement difficile à industrialiser en raison des multiples opérations de réalisation. However, this process lacks reliability and is generally difficult to industrialize due to the multiple production operations.
Par ailleurs, il entraine une diminution de la résistance de la lame du fait d'un perçage de trous pour la fixation des boulons. Furthermore, it causes a reduction in the resistance of the blade due to drilling holes for fixing the bolts.
D'autre part les ressorts à lame en matériau composite dont la forme est la plus économique à réaliser correspond à celle dans laquelle la section et le profil sont constants, c'est-à-dire avec une hauteur et une largeur constantes,
Dans certains cas, ces lames de ressort sont obtenues par un procédé dit à enroulement filamentaire et il en résulte que la forme de ces lames présente deux rayons de courbure, c' est-à-dire un grand rayon de courbure dans la partie utilisée en flexion et un petit rayon de courbure aux extrémités.On the other hand, the leaf springs of composite material whose shape is the most economical to produce corresponds to that in which the section and the profile are constant, that is to say with a constant height and width,
In some cases, these leaf springs are obtained by a process known as filament winding and it follows that the shape of these blades has two radii of curvature, that is to say a large radius of curvature in the part used in bending and a small radius of curvature at the ends.
Dans la présente inyention, on met à profit ces différents rayons de courbure pour réaliser un dispositif de fixation qui empêche les déplacements relatifs entre le moyen de fixation et la lame. In the present invention, use is made of these different radii of curvature to produce a fixing device which prevents relative movements between the fixing means and the blade.
Conformément à l'invention le dispositif comprend un organe de support qui est fixé sur le châssis ou la caisse du véhicule et qui comporte un logement dans lequel est engagée l'extrémité de la lame de ressort, ledit logement présentant en section longitudinale une forme correspondant au petit rayon de courbure de la lame prolon gel par une partie sensiblement rectiligne correspondant au grand rayon de courbure de la lame. According to the invention the device comprises a support member which is fixed to the chassis or the body of the vehicle and which comprises a housing in which is engaged the end of the spring leaf, said housing having in longitudinal section a corresponding shape to the small radius of curvature of the gel prolon blade by a substantially straight portion corresponding to the large radius of curvature of the blade.
Le dispositif suivant l'invention est simple, économique et ne nécessite pas de modifications des extrémités de la lame de ressort comme dans les dispositifs connus. The device according to the invention is simple, economical and does not require modifications to the ends of the leaf spring as in the known devices.
Il permet d'obtenir une bonne isolation vibratoire et phonique dûe à l'interposition d'une couche de matériau visco-élastique. It provides good vibration and sound insulation due to the interposition of a layer of visco-elastic material.
Le dispositif peut être utilisé avec une lame de ressort à section constante avec profil constant ou non. The device can be used with a constant section spring leaf with or without a constant profile.

In Figures 1, 2 and 3 there is shown an embodiment of a device for fixing a leaf spring l comprising a part la, used in bending in the middle part of the spring and having a large radius of curvature, the said part 1a, being extended by a part 1b, at the ends of the blade (FIG. 1) having a small radius of curvature.
Chaque extrémité de la lame 1 est engagée dans un logement 2 ménagé à l'intérieur d'un organe de support 3 fixé sur un organe du châssis ou de la caisse d'un véhicule non représenté au dessin. Each end of the blade 1 is engaged in a housing 2 formed inside a support member 3 fixed to a member of the chassis or of the body of a vehicle not shown in the drawing.
Le logement 2 présente en section longitudinale (Fig. l) uneforme 4 correspondant au petit rayon de courbure de la partie lb de la lame 1, prolongée par une partie sensiblement rectiligne 5 correspondant au grand rayon de courbure de la partie la, de la lame de ressort. The housing 2 has in longitudinal section (FIG. 1) a shape 4 corresponding to the small radius of curvature of the part 1b of the blade 1, extended by a substantially rectilinear part 5 corresponding to the large radius of curvature of the part 1a, of the blade spring.
Une couche 6 de matériau visco-elastique est interposé entre les parois du logement 2 et les faces de la lame élastique l. A layer 6 of viscoelastic material is interposed between the walls of the housing 2 and the faces of the elastic blade l.
La couche 6 qui peut être constituée d'un élastomère ou d'un plastomère est adhérisee ou non dans le logement 2 de l'organe de support. The layer 6 which may consist of an elastomer or a plastomer is adhered or not in the housing 2 of the support member.
L'organe de support 3 comprend un corps 3a, dans lequel est ménagé le logement 2 qui reçoit l'extrémité de la lame l de ressort et la couche 6 de matériau viscoélastique, le dit logement 2 étant fermé sur l'une de ses faces (Fig. 2 et 3) par une plaque 7 fixée sur une platine 3b du corps qui présente des trous 9 dans lesquels sont engagés des vis ou des boulons de fixation sur un organe du châssis ou de la caisse du véhicule. The support member 3 comprises a body 3a, in which is formed the housing 2 which receives the end of the leaf l of spring and the layer 6 of viscoelastic material, the said housing 2 being closed on one of its faces (Fig. 2 and 3) by a plate 7 fixed on a plate 3b of the body which has holes 9 in which are engaged screws or fixing bolts on a member of the chassis or the body of the vehicle.
A la figure 4 on a représenté un mode de montage d'un ressort à lame dans lequel l'extrémité- avant du ressort est montée dans un logement 2 d'un organe de support 3 ainsi qu'il a été décrit ci-dessus et représenté aux figures 1, 2 et 3. FIG. 4 shows a method of mounting a leaf spring in which the front end of the spring is mounted in a housing 2 of a support member 3 as described above and shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3.
L'extrémité arrière 10 de la lame 1 est montée coulissante longitudinalement dans un logement 11 d'un organe de support 12 fixé sur le châssis du véhicule. The rear end 10 of the blade 1 is slidably mounted longitudinally in a housing 11 of a support member 12 fixed to the chassis of the vehicle.
Dans le logement 11 est monté un manchon élastique 13 dans lequel est engagée l'extrémité arrière 10 de la lame 1 de ressort. In the housing 11 is mounted an elastic sleeve 13 in which is engaged the rear end 10 of the leaf 1 of spring.
Cette disposition permet des variations de longueur'de la lame 1 en raison de sa fixation arrière. This arrangement allows variations in the length of the blade 1 due to its rear attachment.
Aux figures 5, 6 et 7 on a représenté un autre mode de réalisation du dispositif de fixation suivant l'invention qui comporte un corps 3 et des moyens de fixation de la lame identiques à ceux des figures 1, 2 et 3. FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 show another embodiment of the fixing device according to the invention which comprises a body 3 and means for fixing the blade identical to those of FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
Toutefois on a supprimé la fixation par des vis engagées dans les trous 9 de la platine 3b et on utilise une bague rigide 14 qui est solidaire de ladite platine 3b, du corps de support, ladite bague 14 recevant un manchon élastique 15 en élastomère ou en plastomère dans lequel est engagée une vis 16 ou un boulon qui est fixé sur un longeron 17 du châssis ou de la caisse du véhicule. However, the fixing has been eliminated by screws engaged in the holes 9 of the plate 3b and a rigid ring 14 is used which is integral with said plate 3b, with the support body, said ring 14 receiving an elastic sleeve 15 made of elastomer or plastomer in which is engaged a screw 16 or a bolt which is fixed to a beam 17 of the chassis or the body of the vehicle.
Ce dispositif de fixation d'une lame de ressort est utilise dans les véhicules automobiles de transport de passagers ou les véhicules automobiles utilitaires. This device for fixing a leaf spring is used in passenger transport motor vehicles or in commercial motor vehicles.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitative et l'homme de l'art pourra y apporter des modifications sans sortir du domaine de l'invention. Of course, the invention is not limiting and those skilled in the art may make modifications to it without departing from the scope of the invention.
