Description

La pressente invention concerne un cabre pour système de commande à distance. The present invention relates to a wheel for remote control system.

Il est connu depuis longtemps d'utiliser des cables pour des systèmes de commande à distance, notamment dans le domaine du bâtiment (commande de l'ouverture/fermeture de châssis), de l'automobile et de l'aéronau- tique (commandes d'accélérateur, d'embrayage, de gouvernes, etc. ., ) du cycle (commande de freins) etc. .. Ces systèmes comprennent généralement des câbles souples dont les caractéristiques mecaniques sont choisies généralement en fonction de l'application désirée. It has long been known to use cables for remote control systems, in particular in the field of construction (control of opening / closing of chassis), automotive and aeronautics (controls of accelerator, clutch, control surfaces, etc., cycle) (brake control) etc. .. These systems generally include flexible cables, the mechanical characteristics of which are generally chosen according to the desired application.

De tels cibles de commande à distance doivent pouvoir transmettre les efforts en traction en compression et, en outre, ils doivent pouvoir subir des changements de direction, en raison des exigences d'implantation Cette dernière caractéristique est primordiale dans certaines applications, notamment dans le bEti- ment, ou, pour des raisons de place disponible, il faut prévoir des changements de direction à faible rayon de courbure, selon des angles très fermés, souvent inférieurs à 90 .La plupart des câbles de commande à distance actuellement réalisés ne répondent pas à cette exigence, car le cible présente généralement une rigidité trop importante (dae à la nécessité de transmettre les efforts de compression), incompatible avec la possibilité de suivre des changements de direction selon des rayons de courbure très faible et des angles réduits. La présente invention se propose d'apporter un câble ne présentant pas ces inconvénients. Such remote control targets must be able to transmit the tensile forces in compression and, in addition, they must be able to undergo direction changes, due to the layout requirements. This last characteristic is essential in certain applications, in particular in concrete. - or, for reasons of available space, it is necessary to plan changes of direction with a small radius of curvature, at very closed angles, often less than 90. Most of the remote control cables currently produced do not respond to this requirement, because the target generally has too much rigidity (due to the need to transmit the compression forces), incompatible with the possibility of following changes of direction according to very small radii of curvature and reduced angles. The present invention proposes to provide a cable which does not have these drawbacks.

Cette invention a donc pour objet un cable pour système de commande à distance, caractérisé en ce qu'il se compose d'un câble souple multi-torons, logé dans une gaine, réalisée à partir d'unVplat ou rond, enroulé à spires jointives, l'ensemble étant positionné dans un tube rigide, de manière que le cabale souple ne puisse pas se déplacer par rapport à ladite gaine, de telle façon que lors des mouvements de translation, la gaine transmette les efforts de compression et le câble souple les efforts de traction, ledit tube assurant le guidage des déplacements de l'ensemble câble, gaine. The subject of this invention is therefore a cable for a remote control system, characterized in that it consists of a flexible multi-strand cable, housed in a sheath, produced from a flat or round, wound with contiguous turns. , the assembly being positioned in a rigid tube, so that the flexible cabal cannot move relative to said sheath, so that during translational movements, the sheath transmits the compressive forces and the flexible cable tensile forces, said tube guiding the movements of the cable, sheath assembly.

Selon une caractéristique de cette invention, ledit câble souple est relié à un câble moteur par tout systeme de liaison mécanique approprié. According to a characteristic of this invention, said flexible cable is connected to a motor cable by any suitable mechanical connection system.

Selon une autre caractéristique de cette invention, l'une des extré - mités dudit cable est munie d'un embout en forme de manchon, qui est serti d'une part, sur l'ensemble constitué par le câble souple, entouré de sa gaine, afin d'empêcher tout mouvement relatif du câble souple par rapport à la gaine et, d'autre part, sur l'extrémité dl cable moteur. According to another characteristic of this invention, one of the ends of said cable is provided with a sleeve-shaped endpiece, which is crimped on the one hand, on the assembly constituted by the flexible cable, surrounded by its sheath , in order to prevent any relative movement of the flexible cable with respect to the sheath and, on the other hand, on the end of the motor cable.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de cette invention ressortiront de la description faite ci-apr'es, en référence au dessin annexé qui en illustre un exemple de réalisation et d'application, dépourvu de tout caractère limitatif. Sur le dessin s
- la Figure 1 est une vue schématique représentant le câble de commande à distance, objet de cette invention et,
- la Figure 2 est une vue en perspective représentant un exemple d'application du câble de commande à distance, objet de l'invention.Other characteristics and advantages of this invention will emerge from the description given below, with reference to the appended drawing which illustrates an example of embodiment and application thereof, devoid of any limiting character. In the drawing s
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the remote control cable, object of this invention and,
- Figure 2 is a perspective view showing an example of application of the remote control cable, object of the invention.

En se référant à la Figure 1, on voit qu'un cible de commande à distance selon l'invention comprend deux composants principaux
- un cible souple multi-torons 10, de préférence en acier inoxydable et,
- une gaine 12, réalisée de préférence à partir d'un fil plat ou rond, enroulé à spires jointives, dans laquelle est logé le câble souple 10.Referring to Figure 1, it can be seen that a remote control target according to the invention comprises two main components
a flexible multi-strand target 10, preferably made of stainless steel and,
a sheath 12, preferably made from a flat or round wire, wound in contiguous turns, in which the flexible cable 10 is housed.

L'ensemble est assemblé de telle façon que le câble souple 10 ne puisse pas se déplacer en translation par rapport à sa gaine, l'ensemble cible 10 + gaine 12 se comportant comme un câble monobloc, lors de la transmission des déplacements en translation alternative. The assembly is assembled in such a way that the flexible cable 10 cannot move in translation relative to its sheath, the target assembly 10 + sheath 12 behaving like a one-piece cable, during the transmission of the displacements in alternative translation. .

Comme on le voit sur la Figure, la gaine 12 et son câble 10 sont positionnés dans un tube rigide 14 dans lequel il peut coulisser. Ce tube 14 peut être un tube rond, carré ou de toute autre forme Il peut etre droit ou cintré. As seen in the Figure, the sheath 12 and its cable 10 are positioned in a rigid tube 14 in which it can slide. This tube 14 can be a round, square or any other tube. It can be straight or curved.

L'ensemble cabale souple 10 * gaine 12 constitue un câble de commande à distance présentant une très grande souplesse et pouvant suivre facilement des changements de direction à angle réduit (90 ou moins) et à faible rayon de courbure.A cet effet, on peut prévoir des pièces spécialement étudiées, telles que des équerres 22, formant conduits, pour modifier la direction de l'ensemble gaine cabale,
Lors du fonctionnement, le cabale composite étant déplacé en translation, le câble souple 10 assure la transmission des efforts de traction et la gaine 12 assure la transmission des efforts de compression. les changements de direction entant facilités par le fait que les spires de la gaine se resserrent d'un coté (coté intérieur Fig. 1), alors qu'elles s'écartent de l'autre, cette gaine se comportant alors comme une articulation. The flexible cabal assembly 10 * sheath 12 constitutes a remote control cable having great flexibility and which can easily follow changes of direction at a reduced angle (90 or less) and with a small radius of curvature. provide specially designed parts, such as brackets 22, forming conduits, to modify the direction of the cabal sheath assembly,
During operation, the composite cabal being moved in translation, the flexible cable 10 ensures the transmission of the traction forces and the sheath 12 ensures the transmission of the compression forces. the changes of direction being facilitated by the fact that the turns of the sheath tighten on one side (inner side Fig. 1), while they move away from the other, this sheath then behaving like a joint.

Dans 12exemple de réalisation illustré par la Figure 1, l'une des extrémités du crible selon l'invention est munie d'un embout 16 en forme de manchonwqui est serti à la fois sur le câble souple 10 et sur sa gaine 12, ce qui solidarise ces deux composants s'opposant à tout déplacementrelatif de l'un par rapport à l'autre. L'autre extrémité del'embout 16 est sertie sur l'extrémité d'un câble moteur 18qui transmet au cible de commandeles déplacements alternatifs en translation.Dans cette application particulière, le câble moteur est constitué par un cible portant sur sa périphérie un fil d'acier enroulé en forme de spirale, formant une crémaillère souple qui peut engrènes sur un pignon, comme connu, de façon à obtenir une crémaillère similaire à une commande pignon crémaillère
Dans l'application illustrée par la Figure 2, le câble de commande à distance selon l'invention est utilisé pour l'ouverture et la fermeture de vantaux de fenêtres. Il ne stagit bien entendu que d'un exemple non limitatif.In the exemplary embodiment illustrated by FIG. 1, one of the ends of the screen according to the invention is provided with an end piece 16 in the form of a sleeve which is crimped both on the flexible cable 10 and on its sheath 12, which secures these two components opposing any relative displacement of one with respect to the other. The other end of the endpiece 16 is crimped onto the end of a motor cable 18 which transmits to the target of the command alternative movements in translation. In this particular application, the motor cable consists of a target carrying on its periphery a wire d steel wound in a spiral shape, forming a flexible rack which can mesh with a pinion, as known, so as to obtain a rack similar to a rack and pinion drive
In the application illustrated in Figure 2, the remote control cable according to the invention is used for opening and closing window sashes. Of course, he only learned a non-limiting example.

I1 demeure bien entendu que cette invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation, ni aux applications mentionnées ici, mais qu'elle en englobe toutes les variantes.  It remains to be understood that this invention is not limited to the embodiment, or to the applications mentioned here, but that it encompasses all variants thereof.
