JOINT D'ETANCHEITE POUR PANNEAU FIXE OU MOBILE, ET PROCEDE
DE FABRICATION DUDIT JOINT. SEAL FOR FIXED OR MOBILE PANEL, AND METHOD
FOR MANUFACTURING THE JOINT.
L'invention concerne un joint d'étanchéité pour un panneau fixe ou mobile, ainsi qu'un procédé de fabrication dudit joint, sachant que les domaines techniques d'application de l'invention sont très nombreux. The invention relates to a seal for a fixed or movable panel, as well as a method of manufacturing said seal, knowing that the technical fields of application of the invention are very numerous.
Dans un souci constant d'amélioration de l'esthétique des joints d'étanchéité, on utilise des revêtements d'aspect tels que des tissus, des flocks, des peintures, des peaux de couleur en caoutchouc ou en une matière thermoplastique, des adhésifs colorés,... In a constant effort to improve the aesthetics of the seals, appearance coatings are used such as fabrics, flocks, paints, colored skins made of rubber or of a thermoplastic material, colored adhesives. ...
D'une manière générale, ces joints d'étanchéité sont fabriqués par extrusion et, pour des raisons essentiellement économiques, les revêtements d'aspect sont déposés en ligne durant l'opération d'extrusion sur une partie du joint, en particulier sur au moins une lèvre qui est dénommée lèvre cosmétique. In general, these seals are manufactured by extrusion and, for essentially economic reasons, the appearance coatings are deposited in line during the extrusion operation on a part of the seal, in particular on at least a lip which is called a cosmetic lip.
Cependant, dans certaines applications, le joint d'étanchéité peut être soumis à des opérations complémentaires après son extrusion. Ces opérations dénommées opérations de finition peuvent notamment consister en un moulage d'angle, un moulage de soudure bord-à-bord, un thermoformage pour donner une courbure permanente au joint d'étanchéité,... However, in certain applications, the seal can be subjected to additional operations after its extrusion. These operations, called finishing operations, can in particular consist of an angle molding, an edge-to-edge welding molding, a thermoforming to give a permanent curvature to the seal, ...
Les outillages utilisés pour ces opérations de finition engendrent sur le joint des contraintes mécaniques résultant du maintien du joint par contact dans un moule, et/ou des contraintes thermiques résultant du chauffage d'un moule à une température pouvant atteindre 200 C. Dans la mesure où les revêtements d'aspect ne résistent pas à de telles sollicitations tant mécaniques que thermiques, il en résulte une dégradation locale de ces revêtements au cours de ces opérations de finition. The tools used for these finishing operations generate on the joint mechanical stresses resulting from the maintenance of the joint by contact in a mold, and / or thermal stresses resulting from the heating of a mold to a temperature which can reach 200 C. where the appearance coatings do not withstand such mechanical and thermal stresses, this results in local degradation of these coatings during these finishing operations.
Face à ce problème, certaines solutions sont utilisées parmi lesquelles on peut notamment citer celles consistant à : Faced with this problem, certain solutions are used, among which we can notably cite those consisting of:
<Desc/Clms Page number 2><Desc / Clms Page number 2>
- effectuer une rénovation du revêtement d'aspect dans sa partie détériorée, mais une telle opération est coûteuse et ne permet pas de lui redonner son aspect initial, - adapter les outillages utilisés au cours des opérations de finition pour limiter au maximum les détériorations possibles mais sans les supprimer totalement, ou - fabriquer séparément la lèvre cosmétique et le joint, la lèvre étant rapportée sur le joint après l'opération de finition du joint, une telle solution bien que satisfaisante est cependant très coûteuse. - carry out a renovation of the appearance coating in its deteriorated part, but such an operation is costly and does not make it possible to restore its initial appearance, - adapt the tools used during the finishing operations to limit as much as possible the deterioration but without completely eliminating them, or - manufacturing the cosmetic lip and the seal separately, the lip being attached to the seal after the operation of finishing the seal, such a solution, although satisfactory, is however very expensive.
Toutes ces solutions ont donc leurs limites et elles ne permettent pas d'obtenir un rapport qualité/prix satisfaisant. All these solutions therefore have their limits and they do not allow a satisfactory quality / price ratio to be obtained.
Un but de l'invention est d'apporter une solution nouvelle à ce problème de détérioration locale d'une partie fragile d'un joint au cours d'une opération de finition du joint, sachant que la partie fragile ne concerne pas uniquement un revêtement d'aspect mais tout revêtement susceptible d'être détérioré localement au cours d'une opération de finition du joint. An object of the invention is to provide a new solution to this problem of local deterioration of a fragile part of a joint during a joint finishing operation, knowing that the fragile part does not only concern a coating. appearance but any coating likely to be damaged locally during a joint finishing operation.
A cet effet, l'invention propose un procédé de fabrication d'un joint d'étanchéité pour un panneau fixe ou mobile, le procédé étant du type consistant à fabriquer un joint comportant une partie fragile, telle par extrusion d'un revêtement d'aspect ou fonctionnel, sur au moins une partie de sa longueur, et à réaliser ensuite au moins une opération de finition du joint, procédé qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste, avant d'effectuer ladite opération de finition, à désolidariser au moins localement la partie fragile du joint pour la dégager de la partie restante du joint, à effectuer l'opération de finition sur la partie restante du joint pour éviter d'endommager la partie fragile, et à resolidariser la partie fragile à la partie restante du joint après l'opération de finition. To this end, the invention provides a method of manufacturing a seal for a fixed or movable panel, the method being of the type consisting in manufacturing a seal comprising a fragile part, such by extruding a coating of appearance or functional, over at least part of its length, and then performing at least one joint finishing operation, process which is characterized in that it consists, before carrying out said finishing operation, of separating at least locally the fragile part of the joint to release it from the remaining part of the joint, to carry out the finishing operation on the remaining part of the joint to avoid damaging the fragile part, and to re-join the fragile part to the remaining part of the joint after the finishing operation.
D'une manière générale, le procédé consiste à prévoir au moins un pont de matière pour relier la partie fragile et la partie restante du joint. In general, the method consists in providing at least one bridge of material to connect the fragile part and the remaining part of the joint.
<Desc/Clms Page number 3> <Desc / Clms Page number 3>
Selon un exemple, le procédé de fabrication consiste à prévoir au moins deux ponts de matière entre la partie fragile et la partie restante du joint au cours de l'opération d'extrusion, et à rompre au moins l'un des deux ponts de matière avant d'effectuer l'opération de finition sur la partie restante du joint. According to one example, the manufacturing process consists in providing at least two bridges of material between the fragile part and the remaining part of the seal during the extrusion operation, and in breaking at least one of the two bridges of material before performing the finishing operation on the remaining part of the joint.
Selon un premier mode opératoire, le procédé peut consister, avant l'opération de finition du joint, à rompre un des deux ponts de matière et à utiliser l'autre pont de matière comme une charnière pour faire pivoter la partie fragile par rapport à la partie restante du joint et l'écarter de cette dernière. According to a first operating mode, the process may consist, before the joint finishing operation, of breaking one of the two material bridges and using the other material bridge as a hinge to pivot the fragile part relative to the remaining part of the seal and move it away from it.
Selon un second mode opératoire, le procédé peut consister, avant l'opération de finition, à rompre les deux ponts de matière pour éloigner la partie fragile de la partie restante du joint. According to a second operating mode, the process can consist, before the finishing operation, of breaking the two bridges of material to distance the fragile part from the remaining part of the joint.
L'invention concerne également un joint d'étanchéité comprenant au moins une partie fragile, et qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des moyens pour désolidariser au moins localement la partie fragile de la partie restante du joint, et pouvoir effectuer une opération sur le joint sans endommager sa partie fragile. The invention also relates to a seal comprising at least one fragile part, and which is characterized in that it comprises means for at least locally separating the fragile part from the remaining part of the seal, and being able to perform an operation on the seal without damaging its fragile part.
D'une manière générale, la partie dite fragile du joint est celle qui comporte le revêtement d'aspect, sachant que cette partie fragile peut être une lèvre ou un tubing par exemple. In general, the so-called fragile part of the joint is that which includes the appearance coating, knowing that this fragile part can be a lip or a tubing for example.
Un avantage important de l'invention est de pouvoir arriver à une solution qui est d'un rapport qualité/prix très satisfaisant au regard des solutions antérieures évoquées précédemment. An important advantage of the invention is to be able to arrive at a solution which is of a very satisfactory quality / price ratio with regard to the previous solutions mentioned above.

Le joint de porte 1 tel que celui illustré sur la figure 1 est d'un type connu en soi et comprend notamment un corps profilé 3 à section droite en U qui présente deux branches latérales 5a et 5b, parallèles et en vis-à-vis, qui sont réunies l'une à l'autre par une paroi de fond dénommée ci-après talon 7. Le joint 1 comprend également au moins une lèvre profilée 9 prenant naissance au niveau du talon 7 et qui se prolonge d'un côté du corps 3 en venant en vis-à-vis de la branche latérale 5a dudit corps, et une partie tubulaire profilée 11 ("tubing"en langue anglaise) qui est formée contre et le long de la branche latérale 5b du corps 3. Une armature métallique de renfort 13 peut être noyée dans le corps 3 du joint 1. The door seal 1 such as that illustrated in FIG. 1 is of a type known per se and comprises in particular a profiled body 3 with a straight U-shaped section which has two lateral branches 5a and 5b, parallel and facing each other , which are joined to each other by a bottom wall hereinafter called heel 7. The seal 1 also comprises at least one profiled lip 9 originating at the heel 7 and which extends from one side of the body 3 coming opposite the lateral branch 5a of said body, and a profiled tubular part 11 ("tubing" in English) which is formed against and along the lateral branch 5b of the body 3. A frame reinforcing metal 13 can be embedded in the body 3 of the seal 1.
Le joint 1 est généralement fabriqué par extrusion et, d'une façon connue en soi, au moins un revêtement d'aspect 15 qui peut être déposé en ligne sur la lèvre 9 durant la phase d'extrusion du joint par exemple. Dans l'exemple illustré sur la figure 1, le revêtement d'aspect 15 The seal 1 is generally manufactured by extrusion and, in a manner known per se, at least one appearance coating 15 which can be deposited in line on the lip 9 during the seal extrusion phase for example. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the coating of appearance 15
<Desc/Clms Page number 5><Desc / Clms Page number 5>
recouvre également le talon 7 qui forme la base de la lèvre 9, cette lèvre étant souvent dénommée lèvre cosmétique. also covers the heel 7 which forms the base of the lip 9, this lip often being called cosmetic lip.
Comme explicité en préambule, certains joints peuvent être soumis, après extrusion, à des opérations de finition au cours desquelles le revêtement d'aspect 15 peut être localement endommagé. En d'autres termes, la lèvre 9 forme une partie fragile A du joint 1 qu'il conviendrait de protéger au cours des opérations de finition du joint. As explained in the preamble, certain joints can be subjected, after extrusion, to finishing operations during which the appearance coating 15 can be locally damaged. In other words, the lip 9 forms a fragile part A of the seal 1 which should be protected during the finishing operations of the seal.
En effet, comme cela est illustrée à la figure 2, une opération de finition utilisant un outillage tel qu'un moule M, on constate que la partie fragile A du joint 1 située entre les deux parties M1 et M2 du moule M va nécessairement subir des contraintes thermiques et/ou mécaniques. Dans l'exemple illustré à la figure 3, on utilise un moule M pour raccorder l'un à l'autre les deux brins 1 a et 1 b d'un joint 1, et on constate que leurs extrémités qui sont logées entre les deux parties M, et M2 du moule M vont être soumises à une température de l'ordre de 200 C par exemple pour les raccorder l'une à l'autre. Il en résulte que les parties fragiles A situées aux extrémités des brins 1 a et 1 b peuvent être détériorées au cours de l'opération de finition. Indeed, as illustrated in FIG. 2, a finishing operation using a tool such as a mold M, it can be seen that the fragile part A of the seal 1 located between the two parts M1 and M2 of the mold M will necessarily undergo thermal and / or mechanical constraints. In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, a mold M is used to connect the two strands 1 a and 1 b of a joint 1 to each other, and it can be seen that their ends which are housed between the two parts M and M2 of the mold M will be subjected to a temperature of the order of 200 C for example to connect them to each other. As a result, the fragile parts A located at the ends of the strands 1 a and 1 b can be damaged during the finishing operation.
Pour pallier cet inconvénient et comme illustré sur la figure 4, l'invention prévoit des moyens pour désolidariser au moins localement la partie fragile A du joint pour la dégager de la partie restante B du joint pendant les opérations de finition du joint qui seront effectuées sur cette partie restante B. D'une manière générale, ces moyens sont formés au cours de l'opération d'extrusion du joint et comprennent au moins un pont de matière ou jambage qui relie la partie fragile A et la partie restante B du joint. To overcome this drawback and as illustrated in FIG. 4, the invention provides means for at least locally separating the fragile part A of the joint to release it from the remaining part B of the joint during the operations for finishing the joint which will be carried out on this remaining part B. In general, these means are formed during the joint extrusion operation and comprise at least one bridge of material or leg which connects the fragile part A and the remaining part B of the joint.
Selon l'exemple de réalisation illustré sur la figure 4, ces moyens sont constitués par deux ponts de matière 20 et 22 qui sont obtenus au cours de l'opération d'extrusion du joint 1 en ménageant une cavité 25 dans le talon 7. Les deux ponts de matières 20 et 22 sont sensiblement situés au niveau des deux branches latérales 5a et 5b du corps 3 du joint, et au According to the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, these means consist of two bridges of material 20 and 22 which are obtained during the operation of extruding the seal 1 by providing a cavity 25 in the heel 7. The two bridges of materials 20 and 22 are substantially located at the two lateral branches 5a and 5b of the body 3 of the joint, and at
<Desc/Clms Page number 6><Desc / Clms Page number 6>
moins deux modes opératoires peuvent être envisagés avant de procéder à une opération de finition du joint. at least two modes of operation can be considered before proceeding with a joint finishing operation.
Selon le premier mode opératoire tel qu'illustré sur les figures 5 et 6, on sectionne le pont de matière 20 et on utilise l'autre pont de matière 22 comme charnière pour faire pivoter la lèvre 9 de manière à l'éloigner du talon 7 (figure 5). According to the first operating mode as illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, the material bridge 20 is sectioned and the other material bridge 22 is used as a hinge to pivot the lip 9 so as to move it away from the heel 7 (figure 5).
Lors d'une opération de finition du joint qui fait appel à un outillage tel qu'un moule M par exemple, ce moule M (figure 6) comprend trois parties Mi, M2 et M3 qui sont agencées de manière telle que la partie fragile A du joint est située à l'intérieur du moule M, mais le revêtement 15 n'est pas en contact avec les deux parties agressives M1 et M2 du moule M. During a joint finishing operation which uses a tool such as a mold M for example, this mold M (FIG. 6) comprises three parts Mi, M2 and M3 which are arranged in such a way that the fragile part A of the seal is located inside the mold M, but the coating 15 is not in contact with the two aggressive parts M1 and M2 of the mold M.
Une fois l'opération de finition terminée, le joint 1 est retiré du moule M et on resolidarise la partie fragile A du joint au talon 7 au niveau du pont de matière 20 qui avait été sectionné, par tout moyen approprié, de la colle ou un adhésif double face par exemple, le revêtement d'aspect 15 de la lèvre 9 étant resté indemne. Once the finishing operation is finished, the seal 1 is removed from the mold M and the fragile part A of the seal at the heel 7 is resolidated at the level of the material bridge 20 which had been cut, by any suitable means, glue or a double-sided adhesive for example, the appearance coating 15 of the lip 9 having remained free.
Selon le second mode opératoire illustré sur les figures 7 à 9, les deux ponts de matière 20 et 22 sont sectionnés sur une partie de la longueur du joint pour que sa partie fragile A soit située à l'extérieur du moule M, comme cela est illustré sur les figures 8 et 9 qui reprennent respectivement les exemples des figures 2 et 3. Une fois l'opération de finition terminée, le joint 1 est retiré du moule M, et on resolidarise la partie fragile A du joint au talon 7 au niveau des deux ponts de matière 20 et 22 qui avaient été sectionnés, par tout moyen approprié, de la colle ou un adhésif double face par exemple. Cependant, pour assurer un bon positionnement de la lèvre 9 par rapport au talon 7, on peut avantageusement utiliser une cale 30 que l'on interpose entre la lèvre 9 et le talon 7, comme cela est illustré à la figure 9. According to the second operating mode illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9, the two bridges of material 20 and 22 are sectioned over part of the length of the joint so that its fragile part A is located outside the mold M, as is illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 which respectively repeat the examples of FIGS. 2 and 3. Once the finishing operation is finished, the seal 1 is removed from the mold M, and the fragile part A of the seal at the heel 7 is resolidated two material bridges 20 and 22 which had been cut, by any suitable means, glue or a double-sided adhesive for example. However, to ensure correct positioning of the lip 9 relative to the heel 7, it is advantageous to use a wedge 30 which is interposed between the lip 9 and the heel 7, as illustrated in FIG. 9.
Dans les exemples illustrés sur les dessins, on a considéré une opération de finition du joint après extrusion qui consiste à raccorder l'un In the examples illustrated in the drawings, we considered an operation of finishing the joint after extrusion which consists in connecting one
<Desc/Clms Page number 7><Desc / Clms Page number 7>
à l'autre deux brins d'un joint, sachant qu'une telle opération de finition peut également consister à effectuer un moulage d'angle ou un thermoformage pour donner une courbure permanente au joint par exemple. to the other two strands of a joint, knowing that such a finishing operation can also consist in carrying out an angle molding or a thermoforming to give a permanent curvature to the joint for example.
L'opération d'extrusion du joint peut être une opération de coextrusion d'au moins deux matériaux. En effet, dans le joint de porte 1 illustré à titre d'exemple sur les dessins, le corps 3 et la lèvre 9 du joint sont en caoutchouc compact par exemple, alors que la partie tubulaire 11 est en caoutchouc cellulaire par exemple. The joint extrusion operation can be a coextrusion operation of at least two materials. Indeed, in the door seal 1 illustrated by way of example in the drawings, the body 3 and the lip 9 of the seal are made of compact rubber for example, while the tubular part 11 is made of cellular rubber for example.
Au montage du joint de porte 1, son corps formant pince vient se chausser sur une feuillure métallique de l'encadrement de porte, sa partie tubulaire 11 étant destinée assurer la fonction étanchéité vis-à-vis de la porte, alors que la lèvre 9 assure l'esthétique du côté habitacle du véhicule. When the door seal 1 is mounted, its clip-forming body is fitted on a metal rebate of the door frame, its tubular part 11 being intended to ensure the sealing function with respect to the door, while the lip 9 ensures the aesthetics of the passenger compartment side of the vehicle.
Par ailleurs, dans les exemples illustrés sur les dessins, on a considéré que la partie fragile du joint est une lèvre cosmétique recouverte d'un revêtement d'aspect, mais l'invention s'applique également à une partie fragile qui peut être une lèvre ou un"tubing"ayant une fonction d'étanchéité et recouvert d'un revêtement fonctionnel de type anti-abrasion ou protection contre les rayons ultra-violets par exemple, ou une zone d'un joint sur laquelle est déposée un moyen d'adhérisation telle une mousse adhésive particulièrement sensible à la chaleur et qui permet la fixation du joint sur son support non par chaussage mais par adhésion. Furthermore, in the examples illustrated in the drawings, it has been considered that the fragile part of the seal is a cosmetic lip covered with an appearance coating, but the invention also applies to a fragile part which may be a lip. or a "tubing" having a sealing function and covered with a functional coating of the anti-abrasion or protection type against ultraviolet rays for example, or an area of a joint on which an adhesion means is deposited such as an adhesive foam which is particularly sensitive to heat and which allows the joint to be fixed on its support not by fitting but by adhesion.
Bien entendu, la désolidarisation locale de la partie fragile du joint peut être effectuée à un quelconque endroit situé sur la longueur du joint et pas nécessairement aux extrémités du joint comme cela a été illustré sur les dessins. Of course, the local separation of the fragile part of the joint can be carried out at any location situated along the length of the joint and not necessarily at the ends of the joint as has been illustrated in the drawings.
Enfin, l'invention peut s'appliquer à tous les joints d'étanchéité de panneaux fixes ou mobiles tels que des portes, capots, coffres, vitres coulissantes ou fixes dans le domaine de l'industrie automobile, à des hublots et cokpits dans le domaine de l'industrie aéronautique, ou à des portes, Finally, the invention can be applied to all seals of fixed or movable panels such as doors, hoods, safes, sliding or fixed windows in the field of the automotive industry, to portholes and cokpits in the aeronautical industry, or at doors,
