Abstract
Description
La présente invention consiste en un procédé permettant d'assembler entre elles des pièces en matériau alvéolaire, par exemple en polystyrène expansé, en vue de réaliser un ensemble de formes complexes. The present invention consists of a method for joining together parts of cellular material, for example expanded polystyrene, in order to produce a set of complex shapes.
De tels ensembles sont utilisés, notamment en fonderie, dans le procédé connu sous le nom de "Lost-Foam" (mousse perdue). Dans ce procédé, une pièce en mousse de polystyrène, servant de nedèle et ayant donc exactement la forme de la pièce à réaliser en fonte, est noyée dans du sable qui remplit tous les espaces vides laissés autour ou même à l'intérieur de ce modèle Ce dernier se volatilise instantanément au contact du métal liquide qui occupe ainsi la place libérée par le modèle. Such assemblies are used, in particular in foundry, in the process known under the name of "Lost-Foam" (lost foam). In this process, a piece of polystyrene foam, serving as a nedele and therefore having exactly the shape of the piece to be made of cast iron, is embedded in sand which fills all the empty spaces left around or even inside this model. The latter instantly volatilizes on contact with the liquid metal, which thus occupies the space freed up by the model.
Après solidification du métal, il ne reste plus qu'à dégager la pièce du sable qui l'entourait.After the metal has solidified, all that remains is to free the part from the sand that surrounded it.
On comprend que, pour obtenir des pièces de formes complexes, il est nécessaire d'assembler entre elles des pièces de formes plus simples, les zones d'assemblage devant être exemptes de défaut et parfaitement étanches. It is understood that, in order to obtain parts of complex shapes, it is necessary to assemble parts of simpler shapes together, the assembly zones having to be free from defects and perfectly sealed.
Un procédé connu consiste en un collage : un cordon de colle est déposé dans une gorge prévue à cet effet le long de la ligne de jonction entre les pièces à assembler. Malheureusement, ce procédé présente de nombreux inconvénients
- la pose du cordon de colle est longue et délicate;
- le produit est coûteux;
- les pièces doivent être maintenues pressées l'une contre l'autre pendant le temps de prise de la colle;
- la ligne de collage présente des défauts d'aspect qui se retrouvent sur la pièce coulée pouvant entraîner son rebut. A known method consists of bonding: a bead of adhesive is deposited in a groove provided for this purpose along the junction line between the parts to be assembled. Unfortunately, this process has many disadvantages
- the installation of the adhesive bead is long and delicate;
- the product is expensive;
- the parts must be kept pressed against each other during the setting time of the glue;
- the bonding line has appearance defects which are found on the casting which can lead to its scrap.
L'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. The invention overcomes these drawbacks.
Elle concerne donc un procédé d'assemblage de pièces en matériau alvéolaire, par exemple en polystyrène expansé. Ce procédé est caractérisé en ce que l'on prévoit sur chacune des pièces à assembler, le long d'une ligne de jonction, un bourrelet de la même matière en surépaisseur, et que l'on applique, le long de ladite ligne de joint, une lame chauffante, portée à une température supérieure à la température de fusion du matériau , jusqu'à arasement des bourrelets, en provoquant un auto-soudage. It therefore relates to a method of assembling parts of cellular material, for example of expanded polystyrene. This method is characterized in that there is provided on each of the parts to be assembled, along a junction line, a bead of the same material in excess thickness, and that is applied, along said joint line , a heating blade, brought to a temperature above the melting temperature of the material, until the beads are leveled off, causing self-welding.
De préférence, la lame chauffante est revêtue d'une couche d'un produit empêchant son collage avec le matériau , par exemple une couche de polytétrafluoroéthylène (produit commercialisé sous le nom de Téflon). Preferably, the heating blade is coated with a layer of a product preventing it from sticking with the material, for example a layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (product sold under the name of Teflon).
De préférence encore, deux surfaces en regard des pièces à assembler sont d'abord pressées l'une contre l'autre, puis le procédé précédent est appliqué sur une ligne de joint correspondant à une autre surface de contact dont la direction est sensiblement parallèle à la ligne d'action de la force de serrage. More preferably, two surfaces facing the parts to be assembled are first pressed against each other, then the above method is applied to a joint line corresponding to another contact surface whose direction is substantially parallel to the line of action of the clamping force.
Un exemple d'application de l'invention fait l'objet de la description qui suit, en référence aux
Fig. 1 à 3 jointes qui représentent une partie d'un ensemble respectivement dans trois phases successives du procédé.An example of application of the invention is the subject of the description which follows, with reference to
Fig. 1 to 3 joints which represent part of an assembly respectively in three successive phases of the process.
Dans cet exemple, deux pièces A et B en polystyrène expansé doivent être assemblées pour réaliser un modèle destiné à la fabrication d'une pièce coulée présentant un vide intérieur 10 (Fig. 3). In this example, two parts A and B of expanded polystyrene must be assembled to produce a model intended for the manufacture of a cast part having an internal void 10 (FIG. 3).
Ces pièces sont en contact par une première surface 11, oblique, le long d'une arête 12, et par une autre surface 13. Le long de la ligne de joint 14 correspondant à la surface 13, chacune des pièces A et
B comporte un bourrelet 15, 16, en surépaisseur.These parts are in contact by a first oblique surface 11, along an edge 12, and by another surface 13. Along the joint line 14 corresponding to the surface 13, each of the parts A and
B comprises a bead 15, 16, in excess thickness.
L'assemblage est réalisé comme suit : un effort de serrage exercé suivant la direction F, par un serre flan 17, assure d'abord un bon contact entre les surfaces 11 et le long de l'arête 12. La ligne d'action de cet effort de serrage est sensiblement parallèle à la surface 13. Puis une lame chauffante 18, revêtue d'une couche de téflon 19, et portée à une température supérieure à la température de fusion du polystyrène, soit environ 200 C, est appliquée sur les bourrelets 15, 16. Cette lame 18 a une forme qui suit tous les contours et sinuosités de la ligne de joint 14. Elle est appliquée jusqu'à arasement des bourrelets 15, 16, en provoquant un auto-soudage des pièces A et B entre elles. The assembly is carried out as follows: a clamping force exerted in the direction F, by a blank clamp 17, first ensures good contact between the surfaces 11 and along the edge 12. The line of action of this clamping force is substantially parallel to the surface 13. Then a heating blade 18, coated with a layer of Teflon 19, and brought to a temperature higher than the melting point of the polystyrene, that is to say about 200 ° C., is applied to the beads 15, 16. This blade 18 has a shape which follows all the contours and sinuosities of the joint line 14. It is applied until the beads 15, 16 are leveled, by causing a self-welding of the parts A and B between they.
Un trou 20, ménagé dans la pièce B, permet ensuite la pénétration d'un produit protecteur dans le vide intérieur 10, avant mise en place de l'ensemble dans un moule rempli de sable qui pénètre à son tour par ce trou 20 pour remplir le vide 10. Le métal en fusion prendra ensuite exactement la place précédemment occupée par le polystyrène. A hole 20, formed in the part B, then allows the penetration of a protective product into the internal vacuum 10, before placing the assembly in a mold filled with sand which in turn penetrates through this hole 20 to fill the vacuum 10. The molten metal will then take exactly the place previously occupied by the polystyrene.
Ce procédé est particulièrement intéressant car le cycle pression-soudage-maintien-relâchement est très rapide et la ligne de soudure est exempte de défaut d'aspect. This process is particularly interesting because the pressure-weld-hold-release cycle is very fast and the weld line is free from appearance defects.
La soudure étant effectuée alors qu'un effort de serrage est exercé entre les pièces, les autres zones de contact forment une jonction parfaitement étanche ce qui évitera tout défaut dans la pièce coulée. The welding being carried out while a clamping force is exerted between the parts, the other contact zones form a perfectly sealed junction which will avoid any defect in the cast part.
