- the present invention also relates to the devices making it possible to implement these methods, which find particularly advantageous applications in the production of the pipes in particular, but not exclusively, of intake and exhaust of fluids for motor vehicle engines.
- this method still has a drawback, the fact that it can only be used if the sections situated on either side of the curvature are relatively long and if the radius of curvature is large enough. It therefore does not make it possible to obtain a series of relatively tight curvatures which are close to one another.
- the present invention therefore aims to implement a method for bending a cylindrical tube or the like, which largely overcomes the disadvantages of the methods of the prior art mentioned above and which also makes it possible to obtain, in all points of this tube, 3D curvatures, that is to say along the three directions of space.

- FIG. 4 shows schematically and partially a first possible embodiment of such a device.
- These means 42 can be constituted for example by a combination of motor elements mounted in series to obtain the rotation of the olive about its axis, its rotation around an eccentric axis and its translation parallel to the axis 5 of the tube 1.
- the tube to be bent is placed around the means 30 so that the olive is in the tube substantially at the level of the separation plane 21, then the two jaws are brought into contact with the external face of the wall 4 of the tube 1, as shown in FIG. 4, by defining the non-zero angle ⁇ .
- the relative position of the jaws is determined to obtain the desired curvature.
- the olive is translated and pivoted to act under pressure against the internal face of the tube, so as to make the material of the wall part 4 of the tube flow in the space E delimited by the two jaws 33, 34.
- the movements of the olive are stopped when the wave has taken the desired and predetermined shape to give, after its permanent deformation as defined above to the process, the angle ⁇ sought between the two sections 2, 3, figure 3.
- the means 30 for producing, in the wall 4 of the tube 1, a projecting wave 20 defined between two sides 22, 23 forming between them a non-zero angle ⁇ and substantially centered on the separation plane 21 between the two sections are constituted by a sealed chamber 31 delimited inside 32 of the tube and substantially centered on the separation plane 21, at least two jaws 33, 34 forming between them substantially a dihedral of angle ⁇ and mounted in cooperation with the external face of the wall 4 of the tube 1 to guide the formation of the wave, and controllable means 35 for supplying the sealed chamber 31 with a pressurized fluid, advantageously incompressible.

- FIG. 5 The embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 5 is preferred. However, other embodiments can be provided, such as that, not illustrated, comprising a chamber formed for example of two pistons and enclosing a product made of elastic material such as rubber or the like.
- the pistons are slidably mounted with respect to each other and their controlled and controlled movement allows the product to be compressed in elastic material so that it swells laterally outwards and thus deform the wall 4 of the tube 1 to give rise to the desired projecting wave 20 as defined above.
- These means 51 are for example constituted by a set of jacks 52, for example three in number mounted in parallel to the vertices of a triangle, only two of which have been shown, so for example that their cylinder 53 is secured to a base 5 constituted for example like that of a machine tool or the like, which serves as a reference for all of the means constituting the device.
- each jack is then connected, for example by a rotary cam 56 at its two ends, to the same jaw, the jaw 34 in FIG. 5, so as to obtain, as a function of the control of the jacks, the displacement of the jaw in the three directions of space, by rotation and / or translation, in order to reduce the space E between the two jaws 33, 34 and give the wave 20 trapped therebetween the desired permanent plastic deformation as explained during the description of the process for obtaining the curvature of the tube 1 between the two sections 2 and 3.
- At least one 34 of the two jaws 33, 34 (preferably both) consists of two half-jaws 34-1 , 34-2.
- the device comprises means for moving each half-jaw relative to the other so that they can take two positions, a first position in which the two half-jaws form a single jaw surrounding the face in contact. external of the wall 4 of the tube 1 and a second position in which each half-jaw 34-1, 34-2 is distant from the external face of the wall 4 of the tube.
- the two half-jaws are pivotally mounted around two axes 60, 61, whether combined or not, so as to cooperate with the external face of the wall 4 of the tube 1 to assume the two positions defined above, with the way of the two jaws of a clamp which cooperates with a body.
- the device can advantageously further comprise means 62 for controlling the translation and / or the rotation of the tube 1.
- the cylindrical tube or the like 1 is placed in cooperation with the device so that the two pistons 36, 37 slide inside 32 of the tube. Thanks to the means 62, the tube is translated until the place where it is to be bent is perfectly positioned relative to the chamber 31, that is to say in fact until the volume V is substantially centered on the separation plane 21 between the two sections 2, 3.
- the two jaws 33, 34 are then brought so as to surround in contact the external face of the wall 4 of the tube and positioned relative to each other to define the space E whose shape is predetermined to obtain the wave 20 as described below.
- the relative position of these two jaws can be refined by means of an adapted control of the jacks 52 to obtain the value of the predetermined initial angle ⁇ .
- this fluid is introduced into the volume V, then put under pressure at a determined value to obtain, by creep, the deformation of the wall part 4 of the tube 1 which is in the space E delimited between the two jaws 33, 34.
- the pressure increase of the fluid in the chamber 31 is stopped, but the pressure is maintained at a sufficient value to keep the shape of the inner section of the tube 1 when, as explained below, the permanent plastic deformation of the wave 20 will be carried out.
- the section 3 undergoes a rotation relative to the section 2, which makes it possible to obtain a curvature of the tube 1.
- the configuration of the chamber 31 and the presence of the connecting rod 38 connecting the two pistons 36, 37 allow the two pistons to pivot relative to one another. In the illustrated embodiment, it is the piston 37 which pivots relative to the piston 36.
- FIG. 12 shows another embodiment of the device according to the invention when it is necessary, for example, to deform a end 203 of a substantially cylindrical tube 1, in order to give it a certain curvature.
- the device comprises jaw means M33-3 4 for holding the end 203 of the tube 1, these jaw means being shaped to leave exposed part 201 of the wall 4 of the tube 1 adjoining its edge free 202, means for determining, inside the tube 1 and at the level of the jaw means M33-34, a sealed chamber 31 between two first and second pistons 36, 37, means 35 mounted in cooperation with the first piston 36 for applying pressure inside this chamber 31, the first piston 36 being slidably mounted inside the interior 32 of the tube 1, means for mounting the second piston 37 in cooperation with the jaw means 1 ⁇ 33.3 4 so that it comes to seal on the free edge 202 of the tube 1, this second piston 37 being further shaped as a matrix, and means for exerting a pushing force F on this second piston 37, substantially along the axis longitudinal 5 of the tube 1 to tend to bring it closer to the first piston 36.
- the device according to the invention as described above with reference to FIG. 12 operates as follows:
- the pressure is applied in the sealed chamber 31 by means of, for example, water under pressure and, substantially simultaneously, the second piston 37 in the form of a matrix is translated towards the first piston 36 by means of the force F.
- the wall 4 of the tube 1 tends to expand and to press tightly against the jaw means M33-34, and the force F which is applied to the second piston 37 is transmitted to the part 201 of the tube not covered by the jaw means M33-3 4 which can therefore be deformed, for example by forming a wave beginning 20 or the like projecting outwards , from the cylindrical wall 4 of the tube 1, as shown in lines interrupted in this figure 12.
- This embodiment of the device according to the invention is particularly advantageous for deforming tube ends, and has a notable advantage compared to the devices of the prior art, the fact of requiring only a very small amount holding length by means of jaws M 33-34 , since the pressure which prevails inside the chamber 31 perfectly secures the wall 4 of the tube 1 on the bearing surfaces of these jaw means, while the deformation of the part 201 of the end 203 of the tube 1 takes place simultaneously.
- the tube 1 even under the thrust F, the tube 1 remains perfectly positioned relative to the jaw means and does not tend to slide relative thereto.
- the method and the device according to the invention find particularly advantageous applications in the production of pipes for driving fluids in particular in the field of motor vehicles or the like in which, because of the constant search for reduction in size, it is necessary to produce tubes having numerous bends of all shapes, as well as often bellows for damping the vibrations produced by the motors.
- the hydroforming technique such as that implemented with the embodiment according to FIG. 5 has the advantage of allowing the realization, both of bends of all shapes and of bellows.
- FIG. 6 shows by way of illustrative example the shape of a tube T which can be obtained with the method and a device according to the invention.
- Tube T has four zones A, B, C and D.
- Zone A has a first curvature obtained by means of two waves deformed at least partially to obtain a curvature of angle ⁇ obtained by the sum of two successive curvatures of values ⁇ 'and ⁇ ".
- Zone B is a rectilinear zone which comprises two waves constituting a vibration absorption bellows well known in the prior art and not coming within the scope of the present invention.
- Zone C has a second curvature obtained by means of two waves deformed until they are completely flattened, in order to obtain a curvature of angle ⁇ obtained by the sum of two successive curvatures of values ⁇ 'and ⁇ ".
- Zone D comprises a third curvature obtained by means of a single wave deformed at least partially and in addition self-locking to obtain in a single time a curvature of angle ⁇ .
- the device according to the invention can easily be automated by being controlled by a programmable controller of the same type as those found on numerically controlled machine tools, which reduces the cost of manufacturing this kind of tubing.

- These means 90 comprise connecting rod means 108 of constant and determined length, the two ends of which are hung in rotation respectively on each jaw 33, 34 substantially at level 107 of the wall part 4 of the tube situated substantially at the top of the corner dihedron. ⁇ , so that they can undergo rotations substantially around respectively parallel lines passing through the attachment points 110, 111 of these connecting rod means.
- These means 90 further comprise means 113 for controlling the rotation of the jaws around the attachment points 110, 111 so that the value of the angle ⁇ decreases, as it appears by comparison between the two figures 7 and 8, to obtain, as described above, the permanent plastic deformation of the wave 20 by at least partial crushing of this wave 20, until obtaining the value of the angle ⁇ between the two sections 2, 3.
