Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour limiter la possibilitéThe present invention relates to a device for limiting the possibility

de serrer une vis après fixation de l'assemblage à réaliser afin de ne pas endommager les pièces à serrer.  to tighten a screw after fixing the assembly to be done so as not to damage the parts to be tightened.

L'assemblage de matériaux plastiques ou tendres par vissage est 5 habituellement réalisé par des vis auto-taraudeuses.  The joining of plastic or soft materials by screwing is usually done by self-tapping screws.

Le taraudage dans le matériau tendre étant réalisé par la vis, il faut donc appliquer un couple de vissage qui permet d'usiner ou de déformer le matériau tendre.  The tapping in the soft material being achieved by the screw, it is necessary to apply a screwing torque that allows to machine or deform the soft material.

A la fin du vissage, les pièces à assembler sont en contact. Une augmentation io du couple de vissage pour garantir le maintien des pièces assemblées entraîne fréquemment une détérioration des filets réalisés dans la pièce tendre, souvent même l'arrachage des filets (foirage), et entraîne aussi une déformation de la géométrie des pièces qui peut gêner les fonctions des pièces assemblées.  At the end of the screwing, the parts to be assembled are in contact. An increase in the tightening torque to ensure the maintenance of the assembled parts frequently leads to a deterioration of the threads made in the soft part, often even tearing of the threads (splitting), and also causes a deformation of the geometry of the parts which can interfere the functions of assembled parts.

La condition de fiabilité de l'assemblage dépend donc de la valeur du couple de serrage exercé sur le montage.  The condition of reliability of the assembly therefore depends on the value of the tightening torque exerted on the assembly.

Actuellement de multiples précautions sont prises pour préserver l'efficacité de la fixation, comme l'utilisation de visseuse à limiteur de couple, de chevilles spéciales ou l'expérience et le doigté de l'opérateur (aléatoire), pour effectuer l'assemblage.  At present, multiple precautions are taken to preserve the effectiveness of the fastening, such as the use of torque-limiting screwdrivers, special dowels, or the experience and fingering of the (random) operator to perform the assembly.

L'utilisation de visseuses de qualité (électriques ou pneumatiques) , équipées de limiteur de couple et de réglage de vitesse est donc souvent nécessaire pour garantir un bon assemblage.  The use of quality screwdrivers (electric or pneumatic), equipped with torque limiter and speed control is often necessary to ensure a good assembly.

Le montage manuel d'assemblages par vis doit être vérifié avec une clé dynamométrique ou une clé avec un limiteur de couple.  The manual assembly of screw connections must be checked with a torque wrench or a wrench with a torque limiter.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique, une vis muni d'un anneau hélicoïdal qui permet de bloquer la vis à la fin de son vissage, lorsque la fixation est la plus efficace, sans pouvoir forcer sur celle-ci et donc sans possibilité de dépasser le couple de rupture des filets de la pièce à serrer.  The device according to the invention overcomes these disadvantages. It comprises in fact according to a first characteristic, a screw provided with a helical ring which makes it possible to block the screw at the end of its screwing, when the fastener is the most effective, without being able to force on it and therefore without possibility of exceed the breaking torque of the threads of the workpiece to be tightened.

Le dispositif se compose d'une vis, dont les filets ainsi que les formes générales sont des profils standards ou adaptés à la fixation des matériaux concernés. Au niveau inférieur de la tête, la vis possède une butée nécessaire au blocage en rotation de l'anneau hélicoïdal.  The device consists of a screw, the threads and the general shapes are standard profiles or suitable for fixing the materials concerned. At the lower level of the head, the screw has a stop necessary to block the rotation of the helical ring.

Cet anneau hélicoïdal est maintenu sur celle-ci afin de simplifier sa mise en 35 place et son utilisation. Ce maintien peut être un simple serrage de l'anneau hélicoïdal sur la vis ou réalisé par la présence d'une forme la rendant imperdable.  This helical ring is held on it to simplify its placement and use. This maintenance can be a simple tightening of the helical ring on the screw or made by the presence of a shape making it captive.

La pièce à serrer, sur laquelle vient appuyer la tête de vis, doit comporter un logement adapté, pour la mise en place de l'anneau hélicoïdal.  The part to be tightened, on which the screw head comes to bear, must have a suitable housing, for the establishment of the helical ring.

Pour assembler les pièces entre elles, de la même façon qu'avec une vis habituellement utilisée, on met en place la vis avec son anneau hélicoïdal limiteur de couple, et l'on visse jusqu'à ce que l'anneau hélicoïdal vienne en butée avec la surface de la pièce et s'ancrer dans celle-ci.  To assemble the parts together, in the same way as with a screw usually used, we put in place the screw with its helical ring torque limiter, and screw until the helical ring comes to a stop with the surface of the room and anchor itself in it.

A ce moment là, l'anneau hélicoïdal rentre en contrainte car il est bloqué, d'une part par la tête de vis qui possède la butée au niveau inférieur de la tête de vis et d'autre part par la pénétration de l'autre extrémité de l'anneau hélicoïdal dans la eo pièce à serrer.  At this moment, the helical ring returns to stress because it is blocked, on the one hand by the screw head which has the abutment at the lower level of the screw head and on the other hand by the penetration of the other end of the helical ring in the eo piece to be clamped.

Alors que l'action de vissage continue, le diamètre extérieur de l'anneau hélicoïdal augmente et vient en contact avec l'intérieur du logement de la pièce à serrer et lorsque le contact est maximal, la vis ne peut plus tourner et se bloque.  While the tightening action continues, the outer diameter of the helical ring increases and comes into contact with the inside of the housing of the workpiece to be clamped and when the contact is maximum, the screw can no longer turn and hangs.

Ce blocage de la vis s'effectue alors que le couple de serrage est bien e5 supérieur au couple de foirage (limite d'arrachement du taraudage) .  This blocking of the screw is effected while the tightening torque is e5 greater than the mismatching torque (cutting limit of the tapping).

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation: - le logement de l'anneau hélicoïdal peut être constitué d'une pièce rapportée remplissant cette fonction.  According to particular embodiments: the housing of the helical ring may consist of an insert fulfilling this function.

La vis et l'anneau hélicoïdal peuvent être une seule et même pièce.  The screw and the helical ring can be one and the same piece.

L'anneau peut être de forme cylindrique.  The ring may be cylindrical.

Les vis peuvent être de dimensions et de types différents.  The screws can be of different sizes and types.

Par extension l'invention s'applique également pour l'assemblage des matériaux durs qui demandent un couple de vissage spécifique.  By extension, the invention also applies to the assembly of hard materials that require a specific tightening torque.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention: La figure e représente la vis (i) et les formes sous têtes (5) nécessaires à l'invention et facilement réalisables par les fabricants de vis.  The attached drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. E shows the screw (i) and the under-head shapes (5) necessary for the invention and easily achievable by the screw manufacturers.

La figure 2 représente l'anneau hélicoïdal (2) et les faces du brin (6) et du brin (7).  Figure 2 shows the helical ring (2) and the faces of the strand (6) and the strand (7).

La figure 3 représente la vis (i) et l'anneau hélicoïdal (2) assemblé. 30 La figure 4 représente les différentes étapes du vissage La figure 5 représente une variante avec rondelle d'adaptation (9) pour les matériaux plats.  Figure 3 shows the screw (i) and the helical ring (2) assembled. FIG. 4 shows the different steps of the screwing. FIG. 5 represents a variant with an adaptation washer (9) for the flat materials.

Ces deux pièces sont en contact par la face(5) de la vis et la face (6) de l'anneau hélicoïdal. Le vissage de l'ensemble (e) et (2) dans la pièce (8) (phase2) (fig4) s'effectue de la même façon qu'avec les vis habituellement utilisées jusqu'à ce que la vis soit en contact avec la pièce à serrer (3) 2883343 3 (phase3) (fig4).  With reference to these drawings, the device comprises, a screw (i) (freeze) provided with a helical ring (2) (freezes) secured. These two parts are in contact by the face (5) of the screw and the face (6) of the helical ring. Screwing the assembly (e) and (2) in the workpiece (8) (phase2) (fig4) is performed in the same way as with the screws usually used until the screw is in contact with the workpiece (3) 2883343 3 (phase3) (fig4).

Le brin (7) de l'anneau hélicoïdal (2) vient s'ancrer dans le fond du logement (4) et lors de la fin du serrage, l'anneau hélicoïdal rentre en contrainte dans le logement (4), par l'intermédiaire de la butée de vis (5). (fig4) (phase3) L'anneau hélicoïdal (2) en contrainte arrête la rotation de la vis(i).  The strand (7) of the helical ring (2) is anchored in the bottom of the housing (4) and at the end of tightening, the helical ring returns to stress in the housing (4), by the intermediate of the screw stop (5). (fig4) (phase3) The helical ring (2) in constraint stops the rotation of the screw (i).
