Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling and controlling the tension of a threaded member, such as a screw, bolt, nut, or other threaded fastening elements used in particular but not exclusively in screwed assemblies.
- a threaded member such as a screw, bolt, nut, or other threaded fastening elements used in particular but not exclusively in screwed assemblies.
- the purpose of the calculation notes for screwed connections is to determine the preload to be applied to the connection according to the payload (or service load) to which the connection will be subjected in its use and a dependent tightening factor the precision of the means for applying this preload.
- the tension to be applied in a threaded fastener is generally achieved by transforming a rotational force into a tensile force generated by the helical size of the element's thread.
- This transformation has an imperfect yield mainly due to the friction losses of the surfaces in contact; therefore it will be necessary to apply a rotational force (torque) greater than the rotational force useful for this transformation.
- a first improvement in the variation of the tension generated by the torque was to associate the angle of rotation from a certain torque. Indeed the elongation of the fastening element which causes the tension is proportional to the angle of rotation. This proportion must be determined beforehand because it is the result of the assembly and not of the fixing element. Voltage dispersion is improved under special conditions due to preparatory testing and geometric specifications of the engaging parts which can be costly. In addition, the risk of penetration into a plastic zone is not excluded due to the variability of the starting point of the angle measurement, in principle called the pre-tightening torque. It should be noted that the pre-tightening torque can be an accidental torque, for example kneading the threads; in this case, the tension will be far from being achieved.
- the elastic limit point can be that of the first element which flares up in the chain of action and mechanical reaction.
- this method requires additional precautions generating costs.
- This method offers an accuracy of ⁇ 10% on the tension of a single point exploiting the full capacity of the fastening element for preload.
- the major drawback of this method is the penetration, even minimal, in the plastic area of the fastening element. Attempts to control and / or control the slope (directing coefficient of the tangent to the curve) at any point in the elastic zone have proved to be imprecise and dispersive. In this case, the dispersion of the torque due to friction is cumulated and the dispersion of the angle due to the flexibility of the assembly.
- This method is based on the variation of a travel time of the sound propagating only inside the fixing element and it is freed from all the other parameters not linked to the element as well as variations of the thickness of the engaging parts.
- the variation in travel time is in theory the direct representation of the elongation.
- the tension / elongation relationship is linked to the resistance of the material, to its section and to its initial length.
- This purely comparative method requires a modeling (specimen element) of the fixing element which will be tested for the determination of a variation of a specific travel time at a given tension.
- the determined elongation is only a small part of the actual length of the fastener. Indeed, when it comes to the propagation of a sound, only the stretched part of the fixing element participates in the elongation.
- This stretched part depends on the thickness of the parts in engagement.
- the machining tolerances have a direct impact on the elongation observed.
- the fixing element intervenes in its geometrical dimensions in particular for the total variation of the travel time which depends on the length of the element relative to its stretched part. This variation has repercussions on the journey time and on its variation in the ratio of stretched length / total length.
- the parallelism of the reflection planes of the ultrasonic waves (essentially for a screw, the head and the bottom of the rod) intervenes directly in the effective position of the member for measuring the travel time.
- the elongation measurement must be carried out during the rise in tension of the element because the repositioning introduces errors which can double the degree of inaccuracy of the ultrasonic method.
- the precision of the effective measurement of the tension is similar to that of the elastic limit with the advantage of being able to be located at any point of the admissible load of the fastening element, with however the disadvantage of being only a probability of tension taking into account the reference to a specimen (theoretical model) resulting from the average treatment of a batch of fastening elements.
- This accumulated energy (1) is returned to the unscrewing due to the reversibility of the fastening element due to its pitch with helical size and to the potential energy residing in the screwed assembly.
- This accumulated energy is not apparent and represents only a fraction of the energy applied due to the energy consumed by friction which in particular prevents spontaneous unscrewing of the fixing element.
- These frictions exist in an equivalent manner to screwing and unscrewing and are caused by the parts of the surfaces in contact with the various elements making up the assembly. Therefore there is a difference in energy applied to the screwing and unscrewing due to the energy which is accumulated at the screwing and returned to the unscrewing while the energy consumed by friction is constant.
- the tension force in tension or in compression
- the tension force can be controlled as a function proportional to the difference between the torque applied to the screwing, in particular the maximum torque at the stopping point, and the torque applied to the unscrewing, more particularly the maximum unscrewing torque, difference divided by (P / ⁇ ), quantity proportional to the thread pitch.
- the quantity (P / ⁇ ) constitutes a constant which allows the immediate transformation of the difference of the couples of the action of screwing, then of unscrewing a threaded fixing element, expressed in newton-meter (Nm) in a tension expressed in Newton (N), whose precision directly follows the precision of the torques.
- Document DE-A-4024577 reveals a process which is based on the same theoretical basis as the aforementioned document EP-A-0096620, and which essentially has the same shortcomings, explained above in points 1), 2) and 3), even if it remedies the disadvantage of point 4) by replacing the notion of derivation (gradient) with a proposal for integration.
- this document DE-A-4024577 is based on incorrect proportionality formulas, and it involves an empirical correction factor, resulting in an imprecision of the results.
- the present invention aims to avoid the shortcomings of known methods, by providing a new method based on an improved principle and specific operating procedures, allowing good reproducibility and improved precision, by excluding any arbitrary correction. , empirical or statistical.
- the invention provides that the sampling of these torque values is carried out either statically at the rest limit for screwing and unscrewing, or dynamically, in a succession of concordant screwing positions and unscrewing, in the context of a screwing-unscrewing action carried out only once, or of a screwing-unscrewing action repeated iteratively, or of a screwing-unscrewing-screwing action of said threaded member.
- a first embodiment of the method according to the invention consists in applying this method to a voltage measurement, using manual, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic or electric motor means capable, by means of a device for coupling on the threaded fixing element of an assembly, to ensure a controlled effort of rotation of this fixing element.
- the element representative of the energy can be any element giving the image of the torque of the motor means (intensity, voltage, pressure, etc.) by a constant or a function f (x), but also the moment of a mechanical means using the flexion or torsion of an organ for which the transformer is not necessarily a constant, but can also be a function (x).
- the element representative of the energy can be any element giving the image of the torque of the motor means (intensity, voltage, pressure, etc.) by a constant or a function f (x), but also the moment of a mechanical means using the flexion or torsion of an organ for which the transformer is not necessarily a constant, but can also be a function f (x).
- the indirect relation is established for the expression of the tension force in another measurement system, by an additional coefficient restoring the coherence between the units of force, and the units of distance.
- a simple servo-control is carried out in successive approximations (iterative method).
- the previously defined action is exercised, repeated as many times as necessary until the ratio of the necessary tension force to the existing tension force is equal to 1.
- the value of the screwing / unscrewing force can be moderated by a coefficient (of reduction) suitable for ensuring the convergence of the action towards the tension required in a number of strokes defined by the precision sought in the control of the action.
- This re-screwing action can be moderated both in the chosen position and in the value of the force in order to anticipate the inertia of the motor means used.
- This moderation could be a stored constant corresponding to a given rotation force, or deduced from the stopping phases of said means when the different values of rotation force are sampled on the fixing element.
- This re-screwing action can be corrected both in the chosen position and in the value of the force in order to integrate the torsion of the motor means, in particular when the position sensor is not integral with the fixing element or of the coupling member.
- This correction may come from a memorized correction table deduced from the torsional slope, that is to say from the ratio of the rotational force to its effective position.
- the concordance of the screwing / unscrewing positions can be achieved by correlation of the position at the maximum screwing effort with the position at the maximum unscrewing force, by disregarding in this case the notion of torsion slope.
- This re-screwing action may be moderated both in the chosen position and in the value of the force in order to anticipate the inertia of the motor means used.
- This moderation could be a stored constant corresponding to a given rotational force, or deduced from the stopping phase of said means when unscrewing.
- This re-screwing action can be corrected both in the chosen position and in the value of the force in order to integrate the torsion of the motor means, in particular when the position sensor is not integral with the fixing element. or the coupling member.
- This correction may come from a memorized correction table deduced from the torsional slope, that is to say from the ratio of the rotational force to its effective position.
- the position sensor sees the position of the fastening element through an assembly which deforms in proportion to the force of rotation applied by the motor means. As long as the resistive torque is not exceeded by the motor torque, the fastening element has not started its rotation while the position sensor registers a displacement proportional to the applied torque.
- the effective position is masked by an apparent position due to the deformation of the reaction chain.
- the torsional slope is established from the ratio of the value of the rotational force to the value of the position observed.
- the tangent to this slope is established by the variation of the value of the rotational force on the variation of the position value. The sudden change in the directing coefficient of the tangent to this slope, during the effective rotation of the fastening element, gives the precise position where this effective rotation occurs.
- the resistant torque of the fixing element results from the different contact surfaces, head or nut, rod, thread.
- the element is permanently subjected (when stretched) to a torsion due to the tension force on the helicoid of its net.
- the modification of the tension force will be carried out essentially when the resistance torque due to the thread is overcome.
- the total rotation of the fixing element is only carried out from the moment when the thread advances. There is therefore a delay in action between the rotation of the head or the nut and the actual rotation of the fixing element.
- This delay in action results in an additional twist or partial de-twist of the fastening element depending on whether one is screwing or unscrewing.
- This variation in torsion of the fastening element intervenes in the value of the position observed, in particular when the length of the fastening element is large relative to its section. This variation creates a difference in slope between screwing or unscrewing.
- the element representative of the energy can be any element giving the image of the torque of the motor means (intensity, voltage, pressure, etc.) by a constant or a function f (x), but also the moment of a mechanical means using the flexion, torsion or shock of an organ for which the transformer is not necessarily a constant, but can also be a function f (x).
- the drive means can only be controlled in a differential measurement or action.
- the control of the absolute rotation force is not essential.
- Figure 1 shows the external appearance of a torque wrench for screwing with tension control, the internal electrical and electronic circuits of the key being illustrated by the diagram of Figure 2 in which, for clarity of the drawing, are not shown some discrete components not essential to understanding, as well as power supplies from batteries suitable for ensuring the portability and autonomy of this torque wrench.
- a torque wrench with a capacity of 300 Nm, in which a torque gauge 1 with strain gauges, receiving a supply voltage denoted VA with a value of 10 volts, delivers a voltage proportional to the applied torque.
- a first amplifier 2 with a gain of 1000 produces a relationship on its output such that for each 1Nm of torque a signal - / + 33.333 mV is ensured depending on the direction of the screwing performed.
- the output of amplifier 2 is connected to the inputs of two blocking samplers 3,4, as well as to the inputs of two comparators 5,6.
- the first grouping of sampler-blocker 3 and comparator 5 stores the screwing torque on the right, negative in signal, by the fact that comparator 5 compares the output of the sampler-blocker 3 with its input and only when the input is greater than the output, this comparator 5 causes the blocker mode of the sampler-blocker through an OR logic gate 7, thus memorizing the highest value of the torque measured in the direction of screwing to the right.
- the second sampler-blocker group 4 and comparator 6 memorizes the screwing torque on the left, positive in signal, by the fact that comparator 6 compares the output of the sampler-blocker 4 with its input and that when the input is greater than the output, this comparator 6 causes the blocker mode of the sampler-blocker 5 through an OR logic gate 8 thus memorizing the highest value of the torque measured in the direction of screwing to the left.
- Each comparator output 5.6 is connected to an OR logic gate 7.8 having in common an input connected to a push button 9 enabling the memories of the torque values acquired during right-hand tightening and tightening to be reset to zero. left.
- each blocker sampler 3,4 are connected to the input of an amplifier 10, wired in summing mode so that the gain only applies to the difference of the outputs of the blocker samplers 3,4 by the fact that one is negative and the other positive, the algebraic sum producing a subtraction.
- the amplifier 10 produces a gain proportional to the pitch of the screw chosen by a selector 11 which allows a choice of different screw pitches in the range of couples applicable by the key.
- the selector 11 orients a gain range by assigning a resistance suitably calculated in the gain loop of the amplifier 10.
- the output of the amplifier 10 is connected to the input of an analog-to-digital converter driving a digital display in a voltmeter function with display 12.
- the digital display is established for from 0 to - / + 199.99, scale which directly translates KN (Kilo-newtons) for voltages which go from 0 to - / + 5 volts.
- a brushless electric motor 13 is powered by a power control module 14 which regulates the phase frequency, the voltage and the electric current, and therefore makes it possible to control the rotor of the motor 13 in speed, in direction of rotation and power.
- the position information of the rotor is provided by a synchro-resolver 15 integral with the motor shaft supporting the rotor.
- the position of the synchro-resolver 15 determined by a sine / cosine phase shift is converted into digital data by a converter 16.
- the converter 16 which allows different precisions (10,12,14,16 bits) is adjusted to provide 12 bits of precision on a turn of the synchro-resolver either a definition 1/4096 of turn or 5.27 minutes of arc.
- the fastener 18 is rotated by a coupling member 23 such as a socket which covers the head 21 of the fastener 18 and which is driven by the square 24 of the axis 25 of the spindle constituting the motor shaft.
- the compression forces Fc of the part 20 are balanced by the tension force Ft of the fixing element 18.
- the signal supplied by the torque meter 17 is amplified by an instrumentation amplifier 26, the output of which is connected to the input of an analog / digital converter 27, which provides 11 bits of resolution in bi-polar mode, that is for the torque meter 17 at the nominal of 500 Newtons.meter, a definition of 500/2048 or 0.244 Nm / bit.
- the digital data of the converters 27 and 16 pass over a bus 28 and are processed by a processor 29 which acts according to a program in memory at 30 and stores its digital data in a memory 31.
- the processor 29 manages the power control module 14 for the cycles required for screwing / unscrewing / re-screwing.
- the memory 31 contains in particular the tightening parameters such as desired tension, maximum torque applicable to the fixing element, not of the fixing element, speed of rotation of the motor 13, etc. These parameters are entered on a module communication interface 32 by means of a terminal or a network.
- the memory 31 also contains the measurements carried out at the screwing and unscrewing in the form of tables (lists of values) as well as the calculation results allowing the decisions of motor control for the tightening in tension and the final results to be produced by the means of the communication interface 32 intended for the terminal and / or the printer.
- An input / output interface 33 provides the decision-making environment so that an operator or a PLC can, on the one hand by the inputs, start the cycle, stop in an emergency, etc., and on the other hand by the outputs view controls on indicator lights, etc.
- the processor 29 takes the rotor position and assigns to this position the numerical value of the torque exerted by the spindle in an array stored in memory 31, dimensioned by example at 16384 values (4 rotations of the rotor), then starts the operation each time the position changes to a torque value determined by the setting.
- the processor thus creates in the table a first list of a succession of torque values in tightening.
- the processor repeats the same operations for the unscrewing phase, for the same positions in opposite directions, creating a second list of a succession of torque values. unscrewing. Then position by position, for the same positions in each list, the processor subtracts the torque value from the second list from the torque value from the first list, thus creating a third list made up of the differences in screwing and unscrewing torque for identical positions.
- the processor 29 calculates, position by position, the tension existing in the screw. Then by comparing the calculated tension with the desired tension, it determines the position to which it re-screws.
- the algorithm of the processing is greatly accelerated, by a pre-calculation of the desired tension translated in the form of the desired torque difference, leaving only the comparison to be made with the third list, and by limiting the number of comparisons to the first match thus reducing the excursion of the program.
- the processing speed of modern processors (several million instructions per second) makes electronic times insignificant compared to mechanical times. Indeed, the processing time of the voltage control is simply masked by the mechanical time of the actual reversal of the direction of the motor.
- the method of the invention can be extended to a threaded member allowing the transformation of a rotational movement into a linear movement, or the reciprocal transformation of a linear movement into a rotational movement, with force transmission, this in particular in weighing, lifting or pressing devices.
