When the ball (22) is forced inward, the bearing (10) rises in the housing (3) and the slot can open up whilst the flat spring is being compressed (17). The elastic shock-absorber (4) links the housing (3) to the sleeve (1). Apllication: articulated joint for control linkages in motor cars or machines.

Description

La présente invention concerne une articulation à rotule , du genre de celles qu'on utilise pour assurer à la fois l'accouplement et l'articulation de diverses tringleries de commande ou de liaison. The present invention relates to a ball joint, of the type used to ensure both the coupling and the articulation of various control or linkage linkages.

De telles tringleries , articulées par des rotules sont bien connues ,; d'une part sur des machines des types les plus divers , et , d'autre part , dans l'automobile. Such linkages, articulated by ball joints are well known; on the one hand on machines of the most diverse types, and, on the other hand, in the automobile.

Actuellement , la plupart des articulations à rotule sont réalisées , comme décrit par exemple dans le brevet français 2 402 797 . Une telle articulation connue a pour avantage essentiel , la possibilité de monter facilement sur la rotule , le boitier d'articulation d'une tringle .Par ailleurs , l'articulation reste démontable , mais son démontage nécessite un effort beaucoup plus important . Ceci facilite le montage et accroit la fiabilité de l'ensemble . Le boitier n'étant pas détérioré , il peut être réutilisé . Tout ceci réduit le coût et accroît la sécurité. Currently, most ball joints are produced, as described for example in French patent 2,402,797. Such a known articulation has the essential advantage, the possibility of easily mounting on the ball joint, the articulation unit of a rod. Furthermore, the articulation remains removable, but its dismantling requires a much greater effort. This facilitates assembly and increases the reliability of the assembly. The case is not damaged, it can be reused. All of this reduces cost and increases security.

Dans certains cas ,notamment pour des applications dans l'automobile ,il serait nécessaire d'interposer , entre le levier de commandes , et la bote à vitesses , un système d'amortissement , qui aurait pour but , de réduire le bruit , ou les vibrations. In certain cases, in particular for applications in the automobile, it would be necessary to interpose, between the control lever, and the gearbox, a damping system, which would aim to reduce noise, or vibrations.

Pour parvenir à ce résultat
une solution connue consiste à interposer une pièce complémentaire , munie d'un silent-block élastique .Cette solution connue permet d'obtenir le résultat souhaité en ce qui concerne l'amortissement du bruit et des vibrations , mais elle est coûteuse , et offre plusieurs inconvénients , notamment
- articulation dans un seul plan
- rajout obligatoire d'-un système de blocage
pour éviter le désemmanchement , après montage de 1'
articulation sur l'axe de rotation
- rajout d'une bague intermédiaire pour per
mettre le montage de l'amortisseur sur la biellette
de tringlerie
- on constate qu' en utilisation , ce système connu est
peu fiable , car il se produit une corrosion , et
éventuellement un grippage , entre l'axe de roration
et la bague intérieure de l'amortisseur ( ce qui
nuit au bon fonctionnement de l'articulation) .To achieve this result
a known solution consists in interposing an additional part, provided with an elastic silent-block. This known solution makes it possible to obtain the desired result as regards the damping of noise and vibrations, but it is expensive, and offers several disadvantages including
- articulation in a single plane
- mandatory addition of a blocking system
to avoid removal, after mounting 1 '
articulation on the axis of rotation
- addition of an intermediate ring for per
put the shock absorber assembly on the link
linkage
- we see that in use, this known system is
unreliable because of corrosion, and
possibly a seizure, between the axis of roration
and the inner ring of the shock absorber (which
affects the proper functioning of the joint).

La présente invention a pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients , en réalisant une articulation à rotule d'un type nouveau , comportant un amortisseur élastique intégré. The object of the present invention is to avoid these drawbacks, by producing a ball joint of a new type, comprising an integrated elastic damper.

Une articulation à rotule perfectionnée selon l'invention , comprend un palier sphérique en matière moulée , et monté dans un boîtier rigide , si bien que l'assemblage s'effectue par clipsage à force d'une rotule mâle dans le palier , et elle est caractérisée en ce que le boitier est entouré par un amortisseur en matière élastique dont il est solidaire , cet amortisseur étant , luimême , fixé par sa périphérie , dans un manchon de support. An improved ball joint according to the invention comprises a spherical bearing of molded material, and mounted in a rigid housing, so that the assembly is effected by clipping by force of a male ball joint in the bearing, and it is characterized in that the housing is surrounded by a shock absorber of elastic material to which it is integral, this shock absorber being, itself, fixed by its periphery, in a support sleeve.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention , l'amortisseur est constitué par un anneau en caoutchouc , ou analogue , surmoulé , d'une part sur l'ex- térieur du boîtier qu'il entoure , d'autre part , sur 1' intérieur du manchon de support. According to another characteristic of the invention, the shock absorber is constituted by a rubber ring, or the like, overmolded, on the one hand on the outside of the housing which it surrounds, on the other hand, on 1 ' inside the support sleeve.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention , l'amortisseur élastique a une forme annulaire , dans laquelle sont répartis des alvéoles de déformation. According to another characteristic of the invention, the elastic damper has an annular shape, in which are distributed deformation cells.

Suivant une autre carcatéristique de l'invention ,la périphérie du palier peut coulisser à l'intérieur du boîtier , à l'encontre d'une rondelle élastique prenant appui sur le boîtier , sous le fond du palier. According to another characteristic of the invention, the periphery of the bearing can slide inside the housing, against an elastic washer bearing on the housing, under the bottom of the bearing.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention , le palier est pourvu d'une fente intéressant toute sa hauteur , afin de faciliter sa déformation , lorsqu'on emmanche la rotule. According to another characteristic of the invention, the bearing is provided with a slot covering its entire height, in order to facilitate its deformation, when the ball joint is engaged.

Le dessin annexé , donné à titre d' exemple non limitatif , permettra de mieux comprendre les caractéristiques de l'invention , et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer. The appended drawing, given by way of nonlimiting example, will make it possible to better understand the characteristics of the invention, and the advantages which it is likely to provide.

Figures 1 à 4 sont des perspectives en coupe illustrant les phases successives pour la fabrication du bottier à amortisseur incorporé selon l'invention. Figures 1 to 4 are sectional views illustrating the successive phases for the manufacture of the housing with incorporated damper according to the invention.

Figures 5 à 7 illustrent les opérations d'as- semblage d'une articulation à rotule selon l'invention. Figures 5 to 7 illustrate the assembly operations of a ball joint according to the invention.

On a représenté sur la Figure 1 un manchon de support métallique 1 auquel est latéralement soudée une barre métallique 2. A l'intérieur du manchon 1 se trouve un boîtier 3 dont il est rendu définitivement solidaire par surmoulage, collage, vulcanisation ou autre, d'un amortisseur 4 en une matière souple telle qu'un caoutchouc ou une matière plastique. There is shown in Figure 1 a metal support sleeve 1 to which is laterally welded a metal bar 2. Inside the sleeve 1 is a housing 3 which it is made permanently secured by overmolding, bonding, vulcanization or other, d 'A shock absorber 4 made of a flexible material such as rubber or plastic.

Le manchon 1 a la forme d'un tronçon d'un tube cylindrique de révolution. The sleeve 1 has the shape of a section of a cylindrical tube of revolution.

Le boîtier 3, lui aussi de forme tubulaire, présente à sa partie inférieure un tronc de cone rétreint 5. The housing 3, also of tubular shape, has at its lower part a constricted cone trunk 5.

Sa partie supérieure cylindrique 6 dépasse préférablement lu-dessus du manchon 1.Its cylindrical upper part 6 preferably projects above the sleeve 1.

L'amortisseur 4 occupe l'espace intermédiaire annulaire situé entre le manchon 1 et le boîtier 3. I1 est préférablement creusé d'alvéoles 7, 8, dont le nombre, la forme et la répartition peuvent être choisis en fonction des caractéristiques élastiques et d'amortissement désirées. The damper 4 occupies the annular intermediate space located between the sleeve 1 and the housing 3. It is preferably hollowed out of cells 7, 8, the number, shape and distribution of which can be chosen according to the elastic characteristics and d amortization desired.

De haut en bas (Figure 2, flèche 9), on introduit dans le boîtier 3 un palier sphérique 10 dont le logement sphérique 11 est ouvert vers le bas. Son fond supérieur plat 12 se trouve donc au-devKxs de la partie supérieure 6, tandis que son nez tronconique 13 revient s'encastrer dans le tronc de cone rétreint 5 où il reste tendu. Ce palier 10 est réalisé en une matière synthétique connue, telle que par exemple une superpolyamide. I1 présente la particularité d'être latéralement fen du suivant une fente 14 qui traverse toute l'épaisseur de sa paroi. La fente 14 est préférablement oblique ou hélicordale. Enfin, le diamètre 15 de 1' ouverture du logement 11 est inférieur au diamètre 16 de ce logement sphérique (Figure 3). From top to bottom (Figure 2, arrow 9), a spherical bearing 10 is introduced into the housing 3, the spherical housing 11 of which is open downwards. Its flat upper bottom 12 is therefore located at-devKxs of the upper part 6, while its frustoconical nose 13 returns to be embedded in the constricted cone trunk 5 where it remains taut. This bearing 10 is made of a known synthetic material, such as for example a superpolyamide. I1 has the particularity of being laterally fen of the following a slot 14 which crosses the entire thickness of its wall. The slot 14 is preferably oblique or helical. Finally, the diameter 15 of the opening of the housing 11 is less than the diameter 16 of this spherical housing (Figure 3).

Grâce à cette fente 14, le palier 10 présente une déformabilité supérieure à ce que permettrait seule la nature de sa matière constitutive. Thanks to this slot 14, the bearing 10 has a greater deformability than would only allow the nature of its constituent material.

Sur le fond 12, on pose un ressort plat 17, par exemple du type dit "rondelle papillon". On sait qu'un tel ressort comporte sur sa périphérie de larges ailes découpées, alternativement inclinées vers le haut (ailes 18) et vers le bas (ailes 19). Ainsi, les ailes inférieures 19 prennent appui sur le fond 12, cependant que les ailes supérieures 18 restent dirigées vers le haut, contre la paroi interne de la partie supérieure 6 (Figure 3). On the bottom 12, a flat spring 17 is placed, for example of the so-called "butterfly washer" type. We know that such a spring has on its periphery large cut wings, alternately inclined upwards (wings 18) and downwards (wings 19). Thus, the lower wings 19 are supported on the bottom 12, while the upper wings 18 remain directed upwards, against the internal wall of the upper part 6 (Figure 3).

On roule cette dernière vers l'intérieur et vers le bas (Figure 4, flèches 20), jusqu'à venir comprimer le sommet des ailes 18 au-dessus desquelles est ainsi formée une collerette de compression 21. The latter is rolled inwards and downwards (FIG. 4, arrows 20), until it comes to compress the top of the wings 18 above which a compression collar 21 is thus formed.

Le logement 11 est prévu pour recevoir une rotule sphérique mâle 22, solidaire d'une tige métallique 23. The housing 11 is designed to receive a male spherical ball joint 22, integral with a metal rod 23.

Le diamètre 24 de la rotule 22 est sensiblement égal au diamètre 16 du palier 13 au repos.The diameter 24 of the ball joint 22 is substantially equal to the diameter 16 of the bearing 13 at rest.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant
Pour mettre en place la rotule 22, on la présente sous l'ouverture du logement 11 (Figure 5); puis on l'y enfonce à force (Figure 6, flèche 25).The operation is as follows
To set up the ball 22, it is presented under the opening of the housing 11 (Figure 5); then it is forced into it (Figure 6, arrow 25).

Ce faisant, par écrasement du ressort 17 entre la collerette 21 et le fond plat 12, on provoque la remontée du palier 13 par coulissement dans le boitier 3. I1 en résulte que le nez tronconique 13 est extrait vers le haut hors du tronc de cône rétreint 5 où il était encastré, si bien que désormais la fente 14 peut s'élargir et bailler jusqu'à laisser la sphère 22 franchir l'entrée resserrée du logement 11. In doing so, by crushing the spring 17 between the flange 21 and the flat bottom 12, the bearing 13 is raised by sliding in the housing 3. I1 as a result that the frustoconical nose 13 is extracted upwards out of the truncated cone constricted 5 where it was embedded, so that from now on the slot 14 can widen and yawn until letting the sphere 22 cross the constricted entry of the housing 11.

Une fois la rotule 22 en place dans ce logement (Figure 7), l'assemblage est terminé : la barre 2 et la tige 23 sont désormais reliées par une articulation à rotule. Once the ball 22 in place in this housing (Figure 7), the assembly is complete: the bar 2 and the rod 23 are now connected by a ball joint.

Le ressort 17 rappelle élastiquement vers le bas le palier 10 dont le nez est à nouveau serré et encastré dans le troncde cane rétreint 5.The spring 17 elastically recalls the bearing 10, the nose of which is again tightened and embedded in the constricted cane trunk 5.

Parmi les avantages de cette articulation, on peut noter que - les organes 5, 1-3, 17 suffisent à eux seuls pour empêcher
tout arrachement intempestif de la rotule 22 hors de son
palier 13 - aucun système de blocage complémentaire n'est nécessaire - aucune bagne intermédiaire n'est nécessaire, du genre de
celles dont on sait qu'elles engendrent des problèmes de
corrosion dans les articulations connues - la fente 14 peut travailler, c'est-à-dire baller plus ou
moins quand la matière vieillit : cela évite donc au palier
13 de risquer à la longue un serrage sur la rotule 22, ce
qui aurait pour résultat néfaste de faire tourner le palier
13 dans le boiter 3; - le ressort métallique 17 peut résister à des températures
élevées, et il constitue un écran thermique protecteur pour
le fond 12 du palier 13. Among the advantages of this articulation, it can be noted that - the organs 5, 1-3, 17 alone are sufficient to prevent
any untimely tearing of the patella 22 out of its
level 13 - no additional blocking system is necessary - no intermediate galley is necessary, of the kind
those that are known to cause
corrosion in the known joints - the slot 14 can work, i.e. baller more or
less when the material ages: this therefore avoids
13 to risk in the long run a tightening on the ball joint 22, this
which would have the harmful effect of rotating the bearing
13 in box 3; - the metal spring 17 can withstand temperatures
and it provides a protective heat shield for
the bottom 12 of the bearing 13.
