Description

La présente invention concerne une bride de support et de réglage de position pour détecteur de proximité.The present invention relates to a support and position adjustment flange for proximity sensor.

Par le brevet US-A-3 292 052, on a déjà proposé un détecteur de proximité comprenant un corps cylindrique sur lequel est fixé à demeure un dispositif permettant d'effectuer une fixation axialement réglable. Un changement de détecteur implique donc un changement du dispositif de support qui lui est associé.By patent US-A-3,292,052, a proximity detector has already been proposed comprising a cylindrical body on which is permanently fixed a device making it possible to perform an axially adjustable fixing. A change of detector therefore implies a change of the support device associated with it.

Pour supprimer cet inconvénient, il a été proposé d'utiliser des brides comportant un corps muni d'un logement cylindrique traversant, ce logement devant recevoir le boîtier du détecteur de proximité. A la paroi du logement sont associés des moyens de serrage à vis qui permettent de maintenir une face frontale de détection du boîtier dans une position réglable selon l'axe du logement. Il est en effet nécessaire d'ajuster le boîtier du détecteur pour que sa face frontale soit localisée à une distance optimale de l'objet à détecter. Il convient de remarquer que le corps de bride est fixé dans une position non réglable sur une paroi de montage d'un support au moyen de vis.To overcome this drawback, it has been proposed to use flanges comprising a body provided with a through cylindrical housing, this housing having to receive the housing of the proximity detector. The wall of the housing is associated with screw clamping means which make it possible to maintain a front face for detecting the housing in an adjustable position along the axis of the housing. It is indeed necessary to adjust the detector housing so that its front face is located at an optimal distance from the object to be detected. It should be noted that the flange body is fixed in a non-adjustable position on a mounting wall of a support by means of screws.

La position du boîtier dans le logement est réglée initialement, mais, lorsque le détecteur de proximité doit être démonté, par exemple pour être remplacé, il faut recommencer à régler la position de la face frontale du nouveau boîtier par rapport à la bride.The position of the housing in the housing is initially adjusted, but, when the proximity sensor must be dismantled, for example to be replaced, it is necessary to start again to adjust the position of the front face of the new housing relative to the flange.

L'invention a pour but d'obvier à cet inconvénient, d'une manière très simple et sans modifier la structure du détecteur de proximité, au moyen d'une bride de support et de réglage qui permet de conserver le réglage initial du détecteur.The object of the invention is to obviate this drawback, in a very simple manner and without modifying the structure of the proximity detector, by means of a support and adjustment flange which makes it possible to keep the initial setting of the detector.

Elle propose une bride de montage réglable pour détecteur de proximité, comprenant un corps de bride distinct du boîtier du détecteur et muni d'un logement cylindrique d'axe X-X destiné à recevoir ledit boîtier, des moyens de serrage à vis du boîtier associés au corps de bride, ces moyens de serrage permettant le démontage du boîtier du détecteur par rapport à la bride de montage, et des moyens de fixation prévus sur au moins une partie latérale du corps de bride pour fixer celui-ci sur une paroi de montage plane et parallèle à l'axe du logement.It offers an adjustable mounting flange for proximity sensor, comprising a flange body separate from the detector housing and provided with a cylindrical housing of axis XX intended to receive said housing, means for tightening the housing with screws associated with the body. flange, these clamping means allowing the disassembly of the detector housing relative to the mounting flange, and fixing means provided on at least one lateral part of the flange body for fixing the latter on a flat mounting wall and parallel to the axis of the housing.

Selon l'invention, cette bride est caractérisée en ce que le corps de la bride est monobloc ; les moyens de fixation sont agencés pour permettre le réglage du corps de bride selon l'axe du logement ; le corps de bride présente un voile rigide et de faible épaisseur prévu à une première extrémité du logement sur une partie au moins de pourtour de celui-ci ; et le voile sert de butée pour une face de détection du boîtier.According to the invention, this flange is characterized in that the body of the flange is in one piece; the fixing means are arranged to allow adjustment of the flange body along the axis of the housing; the flange body has a rigid and thin web provided at a first end of the housing on at least part of the periphery thereof; and the veil serves as a stop for a detection face of the housing.

Le boîtier du détecteur de proximité est donc initialement inséré dans le logement jusqu'à la butée de sa face de détection contre le voile, puis les moyens de serrage sont mis en oeuvre et le réglage de la position axiale du boîtier est opéré par le déplacement axial du corps de bride par rapport à la paroi de montage. On obtient ainsi, par une disposition facile à réaliser lors du moulage du corps de bride, la butée souhaitée qui mémorise le réglage initial de la position axiale du boîtier.The proximity sensor housing is therefore initially inserted into the housing until the stop of its detection face against the web, then the clamping means are implemented and the adjustment of the axial position of the housing is effected by displacement axial of the flange body with respect to the mounting wall. There is thus obtained, by an arrangement which is easy to carry out during the molding of the flange body, the desired stop which stores the initial setting of the axial position of the housing.

Les moyens de fixation peuvent comprendre des ailes munies de fentes ou de trous oblongs et venues de moulage avec le corps de bride. Les moyens de serrage peuvent présenter un élément d'appui flexible, également venu de moulage avec le corps de bride.The fixing means may include wings provided with slots or oblong holes molded with the flange body. The clamping means may have a flexible support element, also molded with the flange body.

La bride illustrée sur les figures 1 et 2 sert à porter et à positionner un détecteur de proximité inductif 10. Le détecteur peut, bien sûr, être d'un autre type.The flange illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is used to carry and position an inductive proximity detector 10. The detector can, of course, be of another type.

Celui-ci comprend un boitier 11 de forme cylindrique d'axe X-X ; le boîtier présente une face avant de détection 12 et une face arrière 13. La surface cylindrique du boîtier est filetée pour en permettre un autre type de montage au moyen d'écrous sur une paroi perpendiculaire à l'axe X-X. Dans le boîtier sont logés une bobine détectrice près de la face de détection et un circuit électronique de traitement relié à des organes extérieurs, d'alimentation, de commande et de signalisation, via des conducteurs 14.This comprises a housing 11 of cylindrical shape with an X-X axis; the housing has a front detection face 12 and a rear face 13. The cylindrical surface of the housing is threaded to allow another type of mounting by means of nuts on a wall perpendicular to the axis X-X. In the housing are housed a detector coil near the detection face and an electronic processing circuit connected to external, supply, control and signaling organs, via conductors 14.

Le détecteur de proximité est monté au moyen de la bride 20 sur une paroi plane 15, parallèle à l'axe X-X, et appartenant par exemple à une plaque ou une tôle, pour détecter la présence et/ou la distance d'un objet-cible 16. La bride 20 comprend un corps 21 en matériau isolant moulé muni d'un logement cylindrique 22 d'axe X-X ; elle comprend aussi des moyens 23 de serrage du boîtier dans le logement et des moyens de fixation 24 sur la paroi 15, ces moyens autorisant un réglage selon X-X de la position de la bride par rapport à la paroi. Le réglage peut, le cas échéant, s'effectuer selon une direction perpendiculaire à l'axe X-X.The proximity detector is mounted by means of the flange 20 on a flat wall 15, parallel to the axis XX, and belonging for example to a plate or a sheet, to detect the presence and / or the distance of an object. target 16. The flange 20 comprises a body 21 of molded insulating material provided with a cylindrical housing 22 of axis XX; it also includes means 23 for clamping the housing in the housing and fixing means 24 on the wall 15, these means allowing adjustment according to X-X of the position of the flange relative to the wall. The adjustment can, if necessary, be carried out in a direction perpendicular to the axis X-X.

Le logement cylindrique 22 présente, à son extrémité située du côté de la face de détection 12 du boîtier, un voile de butée 25 rigide, épais de 0,2 mm environ et dirigé radialement vers l'axe X-X. Dans le cas présent, le voile de butée s'étend sur le pourtour du logement cylindrique et sur une distance radiale suffisant à en assurer la rigidité.The cylindrical housing 22 has, at its end situated on the side of the detection face 12 of the housing, a rigid abutment web 25, about 0.2 mm thick and directed radially towards the axis XX. In this case, the stop veil extends over the periphery of the cylindrical housing and over a radial distance sufficient to ensure its rigidity.

Les moyens de serrage 23, de préférence situés près de l'autre extrémité du logement, comportent une vis 26 d'axe perpendiculaire à la paroi 15 et coopérant avec un trou fileté 27 qui est ménagé dans une aile rigide 28 du corps 21. La tête de la vis 26 coopère avec une aile flexible 29 du corps, si bien que le vissage de la vis provoque le rapprochement des ailes et par là, le serrage du boîtier 11 du détecteur dans son logement.The clamping means 23, preferably located near the other end of the housing, comprise a screw 26 with an axis perpendicular to the wall 15 and cooperating with a threaded hole 27 which is formed in a rigid wing 28 of the body 21. The head of the screw 26 cooperates with a flexible wing 29 of the body, so that the screwing of the screw causes the wings to approach and thereby tighten the housing 11 of the detector in its housing.

Les moyens de fixation 24 comportent des vis 30a, 30b d'axe parallèle à celui de la vis 26 ; les vis 30 sont logées dans des trous oblongs 31 d'une partie latérale ou aile 32 du corps, la forme des trous permettant un déplacement de la bride selon l'axe X-X ; les vis 30 coopèrent avec des orifices taraudés 33 de la paroi 15. Les vis sont desserrées pendant l'opération de réglage initial, puis restent serrées après le réglage. On notera que les deux vis 30a, 30b sont situées du même côté d'un plan perpendiculaire à la paroi 15 et contenant l'axe X-X et sont associées à une même aile 32 du corps de bride, ce qui évite la rotation de la bride pendant le réglage.The fixing means 24 comprise screws 30a, 30b with an axis parallel to that of the screw 26; the screws 30 are housed in oblong holes 31 of a lateral part or wing 32 of the body, the shape of the holes allowing movement of the flange along the axis X-X; the screws 30 cooperate with threaded orifices 33 of the wall 15. The screws are loosened during the initial adjustment operation, then remain tight after the adjustment. Note that the two screws 30a, 30b are located on the same side of a plane perpendicular to the wall 15 and containing the axis XX and are associated with the same wing 32 of the flange body, which prevents rotation of the flange during adjustment.

La variante de la figure 3 montre un corps 21 de bride subdivisé en une partie rigide 21a comportant le voile de butée 25 et deux ailes de fixation 32a, 32b dotées chacune d'un orifice oblong 31a, 31b, et une partie 21b présentant les moyens de serrage, en particulier l'aile rigide 28 et l'aile flexible 29 auxquelles est associée la vis 26.The variant of FIG. 3 shows a flange body 21 subdivided into a rigid part 21a comprising the abutment veil 25 and two fixing wings 32a, 32b each provided with an oblong orifice 31a, 31b, and a part 21b presenting the means tightening, in particular the rigid wing 28 and the flexible wing 29 with which the screw 26 is associated.

Dans la variante des figures 4 et 5, le corps 21 présente encore deux ailes 32a, 32b ; l'une des vis de fixation 30a sert à fixer l'une des ailes 32a sur la paroi 15, tandis que l'autre vis de fixation 30b sert à la fois à fixer l'autre aile 32b sur la paroi et à serrer le boîtier 11 dans son logement 22. Le voile 25 est alors prévu sur une partie seulement du pourtour du logement.In the variant of Figures 4 and 5, the body 21 also has two wings 32a, 32b; one of the fixing screws 30a is used to fix one of the wings 32a on the wall 15, while the other fixing screw 30b is used both to fix the other wing 32b on the wall and to tighten the housing 11 in his housing 22. The web 25 is then provided on only part of the periphery of the housing.

Dans la variante des figures 6 à 8, le corps 21 présente encore deux ailes 32a, 32b, mais le serrage du boîtier 11 dans son logement est assuré par une languette élastique 34 qui s'étend sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe X-X et dont une extrémité peut être rapprochée de celui-ci par la vis 26 ; cette dernière est logée dans une saillie transversale 35.In the variant of FIGS. 6 to 8, the body 21 still has two wings 32a, 32b, but the tightening of the housing 11 in its housing is ensured by an elastic tongue 34 which extends substantially parallel to the axis XX and one of which end can be brought closer to it by the screw 26; the latter is housed in a transverse projection 35.

La bride illustrée par les figures 1 et 2 fonctionne de la manière suivante. Le boîtier 11 du détecteur est introduit dans le logement 22 par la deuxième extrémité de celui-ci jusqu 'à ce que la face de détection 12 du boîtier soit arrêtée par le voile 25. Le boîtier 11 est alors immobilisé par rapport à la bride par le serrage de la vis 26. Ensuite, le corps de bride 21 est ajusté selon l'axe X-X à la distance optimale souhaitée de l'objet 16, puis est immobilisé vis-à-vis de la paroi 15 par serrage des vis 30.The flange illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 works as follows. The housing 11 of the detector is introduced into the housing 22 by the second end of the latter until the detection face 12 of the housing is stopped by the web 25. The housing 11 is then immobilized relative to the flange by tightening the screw 26. Next, the flange body 21 is adjusted along the axis XX to the optimum desired distance from the object 16, then is immobilized with respect to the wall 15 by tightening the screws 30.
