Abstract

The method involves forming a linear profile by extrusion of a sector, where the linear profile realizes a veil (3) of a wheel set. A form of the sector is adapted to form openings (31, 33) of the veil during the extrusion step, where a central part of a wheel (1) is fixed on a hub of the wheel by the veil. The linear profile is divided into sections after the extrusion step, where each section forms a right revolution cylinder to form the veil. An opening is formed in a center part of the linear profile, and another opening is regularly positioned in periphery of the former opening. An independent claim is also included for a wheel for a vehicle.

Description

PROCEDE DE FABRICATION D'UNE ROUE, ROUE OBTENUE PAR UN TEL PROCEDE ET VEHICULE COMPORTANT UNE TELLE ROUE La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un ensemble de roues et plus particulièrement une roue obtenue par ce procédé de fabrication et un véhicule comportant une telle roue. Elle concerne en particulier une roue comportant une première partie formant une jante servant de support à un pneumatique et une seconde partie formant un voile dont la partie centrale est adaptée pour être fixée sur une partie d'un véhicule telle qu'un moyeu de roue, le voile de la roue étant tel qu'il comporte au moins une ouverture servant généralement au refroidissement d'un dispositif de freinage solidaire du moyeu de roue et positionné dans la roue. De façon classique, la plupart des véhicules actuels comportent des roues réalisées soit en tôle d'acier, par un procédé de fabrication par emboutissage, soit en alliage d'aluminium, par un procédé de fabrication par moulage.The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a set of wheels and more particularly to a wheel obtained by this manufacturing method and to a vehicle comprising a wheel and a wheel. such wheel. It relates in particular to a wheel having a first portion forming a rim for supporting a tire and a second portion forming a sail whose central portion is adapted to be fixed to a portion of a vehicle such as a wheel hub, the sail of the wheel being such that it comprises at least one opening serving generally for cooling a braking device integral with the wheel hub and positioned in the wheel. Conventionally, most current vehicles comprise wheels made either of sheet steel, by a stamping process, or aluminum alloy, by a manufacturing process by molding.

Les roues en tôle d'acier présentent un coût de fabrication faible du fait en partie du mode de fabrication par emboutissage. Mais, un tel mode de fabrication par emboutissage impose de fortes contraintes de forme, faisant qu'un enjoliveur doit être prévu pour améliorer l'esthétique du voile de la roue. Les roues moulées en alliage d'aluminium peuvent être obtenues par différents procédés de fabrication. Le coût de fabrication d'une roue moulée et le poids d'une telle roue dépend du type de procédé de fabrication utilisé. Généralement, plus le procédé de fabrication est complexe (essentiellement par l'augmentation de la pression de moulage utilisée) et plus les différentes parties de la roue peuvent présenter de faibles épaisseurs, diminuant d'autant le poids de la roue mais augmentant son prix de fabrication. Ainsi, il n'est pas possible d'obtenir une roue moulée à la fois peu onéreuses à fabriquer et légère par un procédé de fabrication tel que connu. L'invention a notamment pour but d'éviter les inconvénients de la technique antérieure, et de proposer un procédé de fabrication d'une roue pour un véhicule, qui permet d'obtenir une roue qui soit légère, d'un faible coût de fabrication et qui présente un aspect esthétique lui permettant de se passer d'un enjoliveur. Dans ce but, la présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un ensemble de roues, chaque roue comportant une première partie formant une 5 jante servant de support à un pneumatique et une seconde partie formant un voile dont la partie centrale est adaptée pour être fixée sur une partie d'un véhicule telle qu'un moyeu de roue, le voile comportant au moins une ouverture, tel que le procédé comporte une étape d'extrusion au moyen d'une filière, formant un profil linéaire duquel est réalisé les voiles de l'ensemble de roues, la forme de la filière 10 étant adaptée pour former, lors de l'étape d'extrusion, l'ouverture. Selon l'invention, l'étape d'extrusion est suivie d'une étape de découpage du profil linéaire en tronçons, chaque tronçon formant un cylindre droit de révolution destiné à former un voile. Selon une première caractéristique de l'invention, lors de l'extrusion, la 15 filière forme dans le profil linéaire une première ouverture positionnée sensiblement au centre de ce profil et des secondes ouvertures régulièrement positionnées en périphérie de la première ouverture. Une fois le profil linéaire formé par un tel procédé de fabrication, chaque tronçon est usiné pour former un voile selon l'invention. Selon l'invention, chaque 20 roue comporte un voile ainsi formé. Selon une deuxième caractéristique de l'invention, une première étape d'usinage est réalisée sur chaque tronçon provenant du profil linéaire, cette première étape d'usinage consiste à rectifier l'état de surface et le centrage de la première ouverture. 25 Selon une troisième caractéristique de l'invention, les deux parois parallèles de chaque tronçon sont usinées pour former la face intérieure et la face extérieure du voile de la roue.The sheet steel wheels have a low manufacturing cost due in part to the method of manufacturing by stamping. But, such a method of manufacturing by stamping imposes strong form constraints, making a hubcap must be provided to improve the aesthetics of the web of the wheel. The cast aluminum alloy wheels can be obtained by different manufacturing processes. The cost of manufacturing a molded wheel and the weight of such a wheel depends on the type of manufacturing process used. Generally, the more complex the manufacturing process (essentially by increasing the molding pressure used), the more the different parts of the wheel can have small thicknesses, decreasing the weight of the wheel, but increasing its manufacturing. Thus, it is not possible to obtain a molded wheel that is both inexpensive to manufacture and lightweight by a manufacturing method as known. The object of the invention is in particular to avoid the drawbacks of the prior art, and to propose a method of manufacturing a wheel for a vehicle, which makes it possible to obtain a wheel which is light and of low manufacturing cost. and which has an aesthetic aspect allowing him to do without a hubcap. For this purpose, the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a set of wheels, each wheel having a first portion forming a rim for supporting a tire and a second portion forming a sail whose central portion is adapted to be fixed on a part of a vehicle such as a wheel hub, the sail comprising at least one opening, such that the method comprises an extrusion step by means of a die, forming a linear profile of which the sails are made the set of wheels, the shape of the die 10 being adapted to form, during the extrusion step, the opening. According to the invention, the extrusion step is followed by a step of cutting the linear profile into sections, each section forming a right cylinder of revolution for forming a web. According to a first characteristic of the invention, during extrusion, the die forms in the linear profile a first opening positioned substantially in the center of this profile and second openings regularly positioned at the periphery of the first opening. Once the linear profile formed by such a manufacturing method, each section is machined to form a web according to the invention. According to the invention, each wheel comprises a web thus formed. According to a second characteristic of the invention, a first machining step is performed on each section from the linear profile, this first machining step consists in correcting the surface state and the centering of the first opening. According to a third characteristic of the invention, the two parallel walls of each section are machined to form the inner face and the outer face of the web of the wheel.

Selon une quatrième caractéristique de l'invention, la jante est réalisée au moyen d'un procédé de fabrication par extrusion, par moulage ou par emboutissage. Selon un premier mode de réalisation, le voile est solidarisé à la jante par 5 un procédé d'assemblage par soudage. Selon un second mode de réalisation, le voile et la jante comportent des moyens de fixation adaptés pour permettre un assemblage au moyen de rivets ou de vis. La présente invention concerne aussi une roue pour un véhicule réalisée 10 par un tel procédé de fabrication. L'invention concerne enfin un véhicule comportant une telle roue. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture d'un exemple de réalisation d'une roue pour un véhicule, donné à titre non limitatif, en se référant aux figures en annexe, dans lesquels: 15 - La figure 1 représente une vue en coupe, en perspective, d'une roue pour un véhicule selon l'invention ; - Les figures 2 à 4 représentent différentes étapes de fabrication d'une jante de la roue selon un exemple de procédé de fabrication ; et - Les figures 5 à 7 représentent différentes étapes de fabrication d'un 20 voile de la roue selon un procédé de fabrication selon l'invention. La figure 1 représente une vue en coupe, en perspective, d'une roue 1 pour un véhicule. Selon l'invention, la roue est obtenue par un procédé de fabrication par extrusion. La roue 1 comporte une première partie 2 formant une jante, servant de support à un pneumatique et une seconde partie 3 formant un voile, 25 dont la partie centrale est adaptée pour être fixée sur une partie d'un véhicule telle qu'un moyeu de roue (le pneumatique et le moyeu de roue n'étant pas représentés). Dans la partie centrale du voile 3 est formée une ouverture centrale 31 qui permet de centrer la roue 1 sur le moyeu de roue lors de son montage sur le véhicule. Selon l'invention, le voile 3 de la roue 2 est obtenu par un procédé de fabrication par extrusion. Le voile 3 comporte des branches 32 régulièrement réparties en périphérie de la partie centrale. Les espacements entre deux branches successives 32 forment des ouvertures 33. De telles ouvertures 33 permettent, lors du roulage du véhicule, de créer une circulation d'air entre les branches 32 du voile 3, permettant de refroidir un dispositif de freinage (non représenté) normalement positionné dans la roue 1. Sur cette figure est plus particulièrement visible l'épaisseur du voile 3 de la jante 2, en particulier l'épaisseur 34 d'une des branches 32 du voile 3 de la roue 1, qui avec un tel procédé de fabrication et tel que plus particulièrement expliqué ultérieurement, peut présenter une faible épaisseur, optimisant le poids de la roue 1. La jante 2 est réalisée soit en tôle d'aluminium ou en tôle d'acier par différents procédés de réalisation, un exemple est représenté ultérieurement, avec la jante 2 réalisée à partir d'un profilé réalisé par extrusion. Une telle roue 1 est réalisée en deux parties, permettant de réaliser la jante 2 et le voile 3 par deux procédés de fabrication distincts, chaque partie étant adaptée pour être à la fois peu onéreux et léger, tout en présentant un aspect final proche d'une jante monobloc obtenue par un procédé de fabrication par moulage. Les figures 2 à 4 représentent différentes étapes de fabrication de la jante 2 de la roue 1 selon un exemple de procédé de fabrication. Les figures 5 à 7 représentent différentes étapes de fabrication du voile 3 de la roue 1 selon un procédé de fabrication selon l'invention. L'étape finale (non représentée) consistant à assembler le voile 3 et la jante 2 pour former la roue 1. Sur la figure 2 est représentée, de manière simplifiée, une des premières 25 étapes du procédé de fabrication de la jante 2. Cette première étape consiste à contraindre de l'aluminium au travers d'une filière 4, obtenant un profil 5. Sur les figures 3 et 4 est représentée de manière simplifiée, une deuxième étape consistant à mettre en forme le profil 5 au moyen d'une presse, le repliant sur lui-même pour former un cylindre. Une fois le cylindre formé, les deux 30 extrémités du profil 5 qui sont positionnées en contact l'un de l'autre et sont solidarisées au moyen d'un cordon de soudure 6 formé par un dispositif de soudage 61, permettant d'obtenir la jante 2. Sur la figure 5 est représentée, de manière simplifiée, une des premières étapes du procédé de fabrication du voile 3. Cette première étape consiste à contraindre de l'aluminium au travers d'une filière 7, obtenant un profil linéaire cylindrique 8 qui est découpé en tronçons 81. Chaque tronçon 81 présente des ouvertures telles que définies par la filière 7 ; une première ouverture 82 formée sensiblement au centre du profil linéaire 8 et des secondes ouvertures 83, régulièrement positionnées en périphérie de la première ouverture 82. La première ouverture 82 et les secondes ouvertures 83 sont respectivement destinées à former l'ouverture centrale 31 et les secondes ouvertures 33 du voile 3 de la roue 1, telles que représentées en figure 1. Dans les étapes suivante, chaque tronçon 81 est usiné individuellement jusqu'à obtenir un voile 3 fini et prêt à être assemblé avec une jante 2 telle que 15 précédemment fabriquée, pour former une roue 1. Sur les figures 6 et 7 sont représentées, de manière simplifiée, une deuxième et une troisième étape du procédé de fabrication, consistant à usiner, au moyen d'un dispositif d'usinage 9, les deux parois parallèles du tronçon 81 pour former la face extérieure visible et la face intérieure du voile 3 de la roue 1.According to a fourth characteristic of the invention, the rim is produced by means of a manufacturing process by extrusion, molding or stamping. According to a first embodiment, the web is secured to the rim by a welding assembly method. According to a second embodiment, the web and the rim comprise fastening means adapted to allow assembly by means of rivets or screws. The present invention also relates to a wheel for a vehicle made by such a manufacturing method. The invention finally relates to a vehicle comprising such a wheel. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading an exemplary embodiment of a wheel for a vehicle, given in a non-limiting manner, with reference to the appended figures, in which: FIG. 1 is a sectional perspective view of a wheel for a vehicle according to the invention; - Figures 2 to 4 show different stages of manufacture of a rim of the wheel according to an example of a manufacturing method; and - Figures 5 to 7 show different stages of manufacturing a web of the wheel according to a manufacturing method according to the invention. Figure 1 shows a sectional view, in perspective, of a wheel 1 for a vehicle. According to the invention, the wheel is obtained by an extrusion manufacturing process. The wheel 1 comprises a first part 2 forming a rim, serving as a support for a tire and a second part 3 forming a sail, the central portion of which is adapted to be fixed on a part of a vehicle such as a hub of wheel (the tire and the wheel hub are not shown). In the central part of the sail 3 is formed a central opening 31 which makes it possible to center the wheel 1 on the wheel hub when it is mounted on the vehicle. According to the invention, the web 3 of the wheel 2 is obtained by an extrusion manufacturing process. The web 3 comprises branches 32 regularly distributed around the periphery of the central portion. The spacings between two successive branches 32 form openings 33. Such openings 33 allow, during the running of the vehicle, to create an air flow between the legs 32 of the web 3, for cooling a braking device (not shown) Normally positioned in the wheel 1. In this figure is more particularly visible the thickness of the web 3 of the rim 2, in particular the thickness 34 of one of the branches 32 of the web 3 of the wheel 1, which with such a method of manufacture and as more particularly explained later, may have a small thickness, optimizing the weight of the wheel 1. The rim 2 is made either of aluminum sheet or sheet steel by various embodiments, an example is shown later, with the rim 2 made from a profile made by extrusion. Such a wheel 1 is made in two parts, making it possible to form the rim 2 and the veil 3 by two distinct manufacturing processes, each part being adapted to be both inexpensive and light, while having a final appearance close to a monobloc rim obtained by a molding manufacturing method. Figures 2 to 4 show different stages of manufacture of the rim 2 of the wheel 1 according to an example of a manufacturing method. Figures 5 to 7 show different stages of manufacture of the web 3 of the wheel 1 according to a manufacturing method according to the invention. The final step (not shown) of assembling the web 3 and the rim 2 to form the wheel 1. In Figure 2 is shown, in a simplified manner, one of the first 25 steps of the manufacturing process of the rim 2. This first step is to constrain aluminum through a die 4, obtaining a profile 5. In Figures 3 and 4 is shown in a simplified manner, a second step of shaping the profile 5 by means of a press, folding it back on itself to form a cylinder. Once the cylinder is formed, the two ends of the profile 5 which are positioned in contact with each other and are secured by means of a weld bead 6 formed by a welding device 61, to obtain the rim 2. In Figure 5 is shown, in a simplified manner, one of the first steps of the manufacturing process of the web 3. This first step consists in forcing aluminum through a die 7, obtaining a cylindrical linear profile 8 which is cut into sections 81. Each section 81 has openings as defined by the die 7; a first opening 82 formed substantially in the center of the linear profile 8 and the second openings 83, regularly positioned at the periphery of the first opening 82. The first opening 82 and the second openings 83 are respectively intended to form the central opening 31 and the second openings 33 of the web 3 of the wheel 1, as shown in FIG. 1. In the following steps, each section 81 is machined individually until a finished web 3 is obtained and ready to be assembled with a rim 2 as previously manufactured. in FIGS. 6 and 7 are shown, in simplified form, a second and a third step of the manufacturing method, consisting in machining, by means of a machining device 9, the two parallel walls. section 81 to form the visible outer face and the inner face of the web 3 of the wheel 1.

20 Préalablement à cette deuxième étape, la première ouverture 82 du tronçon 81 est rectifiée par usinage. Cette première ouverture 82 doit être parfaitement centrée pour servir de point de référence pour la suite des étapes d'usinage et pour former l'ouverture centrale 31 du voile 3 de la roue 1, qui permettra de centrer la roue 1 sur le moyeu de roue lors de son montage sur le véhicule.Prior to this second step, the first opening 82 of the section 81 is ground by machining. This first opening 82 must be perfectly centered to serve as a point of reference for the rest of the machining steps and to form the central opening 31 of the web 3 of the wheel 1, which will make it possible to center the wheel 1 on the wheel hub. when mounted on the vehicle.

25 N'est pas représenté des étapes intermédiaires de préparation aux différents usinages, les étapes de traitement des surfaces et les étapes d'assemblage du voile 3 avec la jante 2 pour former la roue 1, ainsi que les étapes de finition et de vernissage de la roue 1. Le fait que le profil linéaire cylindrique 8 soit obtenu par extrusion, permet 30 d'obtenir des tronçons 81 présentant une bonne homogénéité structurelle, sans risque d'avoir des cavités de plus faible densité de matière formées dans l'épaisseur du tronçon 81, permettant lors de l'usinage de réduire au maximum l'épaisseur 34 des branches 32 du voile 3 de la roue 1, sans risquer de fragiliser dangereusement la roue 1.5Intermediate stages of preparing the different machining operations, the surface treatment steps and the assembly steps of the web 3 with the rim 2 to form the wheel 1, as well as the finishing and coating stages of the invention, are not represented. the wheel 1. The fact that the cylindrical linear profile 8 is obtained by extrusion, makes it possible to obtain sections 81 having good structural homogeneity, without the risk of having cavities of lower material density formed in the thickness of the section 81, allowing during machining to reduce as much as possible the thickness 34 of the branches 32 of the web 3 of the wheel 1, without risk of dangerously weakening the wheel 1.5
