Abstract

Device for temporarily holding a water box made of moulded material on the collector plate of a heat exchanger, characterised in that the water box 4, 4a and the corresponding collector plate 3, 3a possess temporary mutual fastening means 13, 14, 15 which engage with each other when the water box is inserted on the collector plate.

Description

Dans la technique de fabrication des échangeurs de chaleur, il est de plus en plus fréquent que les plaques collectrices dans lesquelles débouchent les tubes de circulation du liquide à refroidir soient servies sur des parties d'appui notamment un rebord périphérique des botes à eau qui les recouvrent. In the technique for manufacturing heat exchangers, it is more and more frequent that the collector plates into which the circulation tubes of the liquid to be cooled open out are served on bearing parts, in particular a peripheral rim of the water boxes which overlap.

Différentes dispositions de sertissage sont mises en oeuvre dans la technique. Dans certains cas, des pattes saillantes de la plaque collectrice sont repliées sur un rebord de la boite à eau. Dans d'autres cas, les bords montants des plaques collectrices sont rabattus en tout ou partie sur des parties d'appui ou tout au long du rebord périphérique de la boite à eau. Different crimping arrangements are used in the art. In some cases, protruding tabs of the header plate are folded over a rim of the water box. In other cases, the rising edges of the collector plates are folded in whole or in part on support parts or all along the peripheral edge of the water box.

Dans la plupart des cas, l'opération de sertissage de la boite à eau est effectuée mécaniquement à un poste de travail distant de celui auquel les boites à eau sont mises en place sur les plaques collectrices et il est alors fréquent pendant le déplacement que les
boites à eau soient séparées des plaques collectrices, ce qui oblige à prévoir l'intervention d'un opérateur au voisinage du poste de sertissage pour s'assurer que les boites à eau sont bien en place. Dans certains cas, on procède à un pré-sertissage manuel à l'aide d'une pince. Cela nécessite des efforts relativement impor tants et constitue une opération de travail répétitive et sans intérêt pour l'opérateur.De toute façon, il est nécessaire de procéder tout d'abord au sertissage de la boite à eau se trouvant à la partie supérieure de l'échangeur puis de retourner celui-ci, de mettre en place la seconde boite à eau et de procéder à une nouvelle opération de sertissage.
In most cases, the crimping operation of the water box is carried out mechanically at a workstation remote from the one at which the water boxes are placed on the collector plates and it is then frequent during movement that the
water boxes are separated from the collector plates, which requires the intervention of an operator in the vicinity of the crimping station to ensure that the water boxes are in place. In some cases, manual pre-crimping is performed using pliers. This requires relatively large efforts and is a repetitive work operation of no interest to the operator. In any case, it is necessary to first crimp the water box located at the top of the exchanger then turn it over, put in place the second water box and carry out a new crimping operation.

L'invention crée un perfectionnement à la technique selon lequel il deviens possible de mettre en place de façon temporaire les boites à eau sur les plaques collectrices et de manutentionner l'échangeur muni de ses boites à eau sans prendre de précautions particulières de sorte que l'échangeur peut etre amené à un poste de sertissage entièrement automatisé et per mettant, le cas échéant, le sertissage simultané des deux boites à eau. De plus, la pose des boites à eau peut elle-même être mécanisée. The invention creates an improvement in the technique according to which it becomes possible to temporarily place the water boxes on the collector plates and to handle the exchanger provided with its water boxes without taking any particular precautions so that the 'exchanger can be brought to a fully automated crimping station and allowing, if necessary, the simultaneous crimping of the two water boxes. In addition, the installation of water boxes can itself be mechanized.

Conformément à l'invention, le dispositif pour le maintien provisoire d'une boite à eau en matière moulée sur la plaque collectrice d'un échangeur de chaleur est caractérisé en ce que la boite à eau et la plaque collectrice correspondante comportent des moyens d'accrochage mutuel temporaire venant en prise lors de l'emboitement de la boite à eau sur la plaque collectrice. According to the invention, the device for temporarily holding a water box made of molded material on the collecting plate of a heat exchanger is characterized in that the water box and the corresponding collecting plate comprise means for temporary mutual attachment coming into engagement when the water box fits onto the collector plate.

Diverses autres caractéristiques de l'invention ressortent d'ailleurs de la description détaillée qui suit. Various other characteristics of the invention will also emerge from the detailed description which follows.

Le dessin illustre un échangeur de chaleur du genre de ceux qui sont utilisés en sans qu'échangeur de refroidissement du liquide en circulation dans les chemises d'un moteur thermique. L'échangeur comporte des tubes 1 engagés dans des perforations de dissipateurs 2 représentés à la fig. 1 sous la forme d'ailettes. Les dissipateurs 2 pourraient de même façon etre constitués par des bandes intercalaires ondulées. The drawing illustrates a heat exchanger of the kind used in that without an exchanger for cooling the liquid circulating in the liners of a heat engine. The exchanger comprises tubes 1 engaged in heatsink perforations 2 shown in FIG. 1 in the form of fins. The heatsinks 2 could likewise be constituted by corrugated intermediate strips.

L'extrémité des tubes 1 est engagée dans des plaques collectrices 3, 3a reliées de façon étanche à des boites à eau 4, lia. Les tubes 1 sont reliés aux plaques collectrices 3, 3a ainsi qu'aux dissipateurs 2 par tous moyens connus dans la technique, par exemple par brasage ou encore les tubes 1 sont gonflés dans les perforations des dissipateurs 2 et engagés dans des passages de tubes des plaques collectrices 3, 3a qui sont alors munies de garnitures d'étanchéité par exemple des douilles en matière élastique. The end of the tubes 1 is engaged in collecting plates 3, 3a connected in a sealed manner to water boxes 4, 11a. The tubes 1 are connected to the collector plates 3, 3a as well as to the heatsinks 2 by any means known in the art, for example by brazing or the tubes 1 are inflated in the perforations of the heatsinks 2 and engaged in tube passages of the manifold plates 3, 3a which are then provided with seals, for example sockets made of elastic material.

Les plaques collectrices 3, 3a sont, de préférence, fabriquées en métal par découpage ou pliage et emboutissage tandis que les boits à eau 4, 4a sont fabriquées en matière moulée de préférence en résine synthé- tique moulée du genre polyamide contenant des charges qui peuvent etre des charges de renforcement constituées par des fibres de verre ou analogues. The collector plates 3, 3a are preferably made of metal by cutting or bending and stamping while the water boxes 4, 4a are made of molded material preferably of molded synthetic resin of the polyamide type containing fillers which can be reinforcing fillers formed by glass fibers or the like.

Pour assurer une liaison étanche, les plaques collectrices délimitent une gorge périphérique 5 (fig.3 et 5) dans laquelle est disposé un joint déformable 6, par exemple en élastomère. To ensure a tight connection, the collector plates delimit a peripheral groove 5 (FIGS. 3 and 5) in which is arranged a deformable seal 6, for example made of elastomer.

La gorge 5 est délimitée circonférentieÏlement par un bord montant 7 de la plaque collectrice et dans le mode de réalisation représenté rebord montant est prolongé par des pattes 8 qui sont destinées à êsre ser tiers sur un rebord 9 de la boite à eau correspondante lorsque le joint déformable 6 est comprimé. Le rebord 9 est constitué par la partie supérieure d'un bourrelet périphérique 10 entourant la boite à eau et dons le dessous sert à comprimer le joint déformable 6. The groove 5 is circumscribed by a rising edge 7 of the collector plate and in the embodiment shown the rising edge is extended by lugs 8 which are intended to be third on a rim 9 of the corresponding water box when the joint deformable 6 is compressed. The rim 9 is constituted by the upper part of a peripheral bead 10 surrounding the water box and therefore the underside serves to compress the deformable seal 6.

Selon l'invention, le bourrelet 10 délimite sur au moins l'un de ses cotés, de préférence l'un de ses grands côtés, une encoche 11 ouvrant dans le rebord supérieur 9 mais ne s'étendant que sur une partie de la hau teur du bourrelet 10 de façon que le dessous de ce bour relues soit continu et prenne appui sur le joint déformable 6. According to the invention, the bead 10 delimits on at least one of its sides, preferably one of its long sides, a notch 11 opening in the upper rim 9 but extending only over part of the top tor of the bead 10 so that the underside of this re-read bour is continuous and rests on the deformable seal 6.

Dans la pratique et pour faciliter le montage décrit dans ce qui suit, une encoche 11 est prévue sur chacun des deux grands côtés du bourrelet de la plaque collectrice et les deux encoches 11 sont prévues, comme l'illustre la fig. 4, a égale distance de l'axe médian transversal 12 de la boite à eau. In practice and to facilitate the assembly described in the following, a notch 11 is provided on each of the two long sides of the bead of the collector plate and the two notches 11 are provided, as illustrated in FIG. 4, at equal distance from the transverse median axis 12 of the water box.

Une patte 13 s'étend dans chacune des encoches 11 à distance du corps de la boite à eau pour pouvoir être flexible. Le bord externe des pattes 13 se trouve dans le prolongement, c'es-à-dire dans le même plan que le bord externe du bourrelet 10 à l'exception de l'extrémité desdites pattes 13 qui forme un plot 14 dont la face externe 14a (fig. 5) délimite une rampe inclinée. A tab 13 extends in each of the notches 11 at a distance from the body of the water box in order to be flexible. The outer edge of the legs 13 is in the extension, that is to say in the same plane as the outer edge of the bead 10 with the exception of the end of said legs 13 which forms a stud 14 whose outer face 14a (fig. 5) defines an inclined ramp.

De plus et ainsi que cela apparaît au dessin, la patte 13 est toute entière comprise dans l'épaisseur du bour relet 10. In addition and as it appears in the drawing, the tab 13 is entirely included in the thickness of the relet bour 10.

Des lumières 15 sont prévues dans le bord montant 10 de la plaque collectrice pour correspondre au plot 14 des pattes flexibles 13 décrites ci-dessus. Lights 15 are provided in the rising edge 10 of the collector plate to correspond to the stud 14 of the flexible lugs 13 described above.

La position et la dimension des lumières 15 sont choisies pour que les plots 14 puissent être insérés dans lesdites lumières, par simple déformation élastique des pattes 13 et sans qu'il y ait à exercer une force de compression significative sur le joint déformable 6, afin que ceste insertion puisse etre réalisée faci leiient par une opération manuelle ne nécessitant aucune force particulière. The position and the size of the slots 15 are chosen so that the studs 14 can be inserted into said slots, by simple elastic deformation of the tabs 13 and without there having to exert a significant compressive force on the deformable seal 6, in order to that this insertion can be carried out easily by a manual operation requiring no particular force.

Comme cela ressort de ce qui précède, dans un premier temps de fabrication, les tubes 1, dissipateurs 2 et plaques collectrices 3, 3a sont sous d'abord assemblés ainsi éventuellement que des joues latérales qui ne sont pas représentées mais qui peuvent etre utilisées comme cela est bien connu dans la technique des échangeurs de refroidissement. As is apparent from the above, in the first stage of manufacture, the tubes 1, dissipators 2 and manifold plates 3, 3a are first assembled as well as possibly side flanges which are not shown but which can be used as this is well known in the art of cooling exchangers.

Après mise en place des joints, les boîtes à eau 3, 3a sont ensuite mises en place par simple emboî- tement dans chacune des deux plaques collectrices et on exerce sur elles une légère pression faisans que la rampe 15 des plots 14 agit comme une came provoquant la déformation des pattes élastiques 13 jusqu'au moment où les plots 14 sont ramenés élastiquement et entrent dans les lumières 15 de la plaque collectrice. After the seals have been put in place, the water boxes 3, 3a are then put in place by simple fitting into each of the two collecting plates and a light pressure is exerted on them making the ramp 15 of the studs 14 act like a cam causing the deformation of the elastic tabs 13 until the studs 14 are brought back elastically and enter the slots 15 of the collector plate.

De cette manière, les boites à eau sont maintenues en place sans pouvoir échapper, ce qui permet une manutension facile de l'échangeur pour l'amener par un moyen quelconque, par exemple à l'aide d'un convoyeur à un poste de sertissage des pattes 8 sur le rebord 9 de chaque boite à eau. In this way, the water boxes are held in place without being able to escape, which allows easy handling of the exchanger to bring it by any means, for example using a conveyor to a crimping station. tabs 8 on the rim 9 of each water box.

Dans ce qui précède, il a été expliqué que les pattes 13 et, par conséquent, les lumières 15 sont prévues symétriquement par rapport à l'axe médian transver- sal 12 de la boite à eau et de la plaque collectrice. In the foregoing, it has been explained that the lugs 13 and, consequently, the slots 15 are provided symmetrically with respect to the transverse median axis 12 of the water box and the collector plate.

Cette disposition permet la mise en place de la boite à eau dans un sens ou dans l'autre, c'est-à-dire qu'elle peut être tournée de 180 . This arrangement allows the installation of the water box in one direction or the other, that is to say that it can be turned 180.

Si on le désire, les pattes 13 et lumières 15 peuvent etre décalées par rapport à l'axe médian transversal 12 et alors lesdites pattes et lumières consti- tuent des détrompeurs faisant que la boite à eau ne peut être mise en place que dans une seule position. If desired, the legs 13 and lights 15 can be offset with respect to the transverse median axis 12 and then said legs and lights are keyed so that the water box can only be placed in one position.

L'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de réalisation, représenté et décrit en détail, car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre. En particulier, les pattes à sertir 8 peuvent êire remplacées par des moyens équivalents, c'est-à- dire par exemple qu'il est possible de déformer tout ou partie de la partie supérieure des bords montants 7 de la plaque collectrice pour venir en appui sur le dessus du rebord 9.  The invention is not limited to the embodiment, shown and described in detail, because various modifications can be made without departing from its scope. In particular, the crimp tabs 8 can be replaced by equivalent means, that is to say for example that it is possible to deform all or part of the upper part of the rising edges 7 of the collector plate to come into press on the top of the rim 9.
