Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un appareil de transport et de passage au tambour vibratoire destiné au traitement de surface de pièces d'usinage et qui consiste à passer au tambour les pièces dans un lit vibrant de milieux de traitement de surface. L'appareil comprend un logement allongé (12) possédant une paroi inférieure en arc (14) concave tournée vers l'intérieur du corps. Un dispositif (30) générateur de vibrations est associé de façon structurelle au logement et génère une force vibratoire transmise audit logement, cette force vibratoire comportant une composante de couple de forces ayant un moment variant constamment en amplitude entre une valeur zéro et une valeur maximum, et une composante linéaire variant constamment en amplitude entre une valeur maximum et une valeur zéro. L'amplitude de la composante du couple de forces et l'amplitude de la composante de la force linéaire varient inversement l'une par rapport à l'autre. La force vibratoire transmise au logement engendre le déplacement de points sur la face concave de la surface courbée en arc selon une trajectoire elliptique dont l'axe principal est situé à un angle aigu par rapport à une ligne imaginaire tangente à la surface combée en arc au niveau du point.
