Description
L'invention concerne un jeu de tas de tôlerie destiné au redressage des tôles des carrosseries automobiles.The invention relates to a sheet metal pile set for the straightening of the sheets of automobile bodies.
De manière connue, un tas est une pièce métallique, généralement réalisée en fonte ou en acier, de forme assez volumineuse, sans toutefois empêcher sa préhension manuelle, et destiné à servir d'enclume.In a known manner, a pile is a metallic piece, generally made made of cast iron or steel, of rather bulky shape, without however preventing its manual grip, and intended to serve as an anvil.
Dans l'industrie automobile, de tels tas sont couramment utilisés pour finaliser le redressage des tôles qu'il convient de décabosser suite, notamment à des accidents. Ce travail de finalisation s'effectue au moyen d'une pluralité de tas et d'un marteau, le tas tenu dans une main servant d'enclume pour les coups de marteau assénés afin d'aboutir à un lissage de la carrosserie après son redressement.In the automotive industry, such heaps are commonly used for finalize the straightening of the sheets which should be taken off, including accidents. This finalization work is carried out by means of a plurality of heaps and a hammer, the heap held in one hand serving anvil for hammer strikes to achieve a smoothing of the body after its straightening.
L'un des problèmes qui se posent chez les carrossiers, est qu'il n'existe pas de tas universel. Aussi, en fonction des courbures de la carrosserie, a-t-il besoin d'un grand nombre de tas pour adapter le tas qui convient à la courbure de la tôle considérée. De la sorte, outre de grands nombres de pièces nécessaires, il n'est pas rare de perdre un ou plusieurs de ces éléments constitutifs du jeu de tas, de sorte que bien souvent, le carrossier ou tôlier ne dispose pas du ou des tas adéquats à la courbure de la tôle considérée qu'il souhaite redresser.One of the problems with body shops is that there is no such thing as universal heap. Also, depending on the curvature of the body, did he need a large number of heaps to adapt the heap to suit the curvature of the sheet considered. In this way, in addition to large numbers of required parts, it is not uncommon to lose one or more of these components of the heap game, so that often the bodybuilder or sheet metal worker does not have the pile (s) adequate for the curvature of the sheet metal considered he wishes to straighten.
Les tas utilisés actuellement correspondent aux brevets existants, d'après le rapport de recherches US-A-1441316 et US-A- 1506578, possèdent des formes trop arrondies et sont trop lourdes. Le tas connu du document US-A-1506578 montre une forme allongée et d'épaisseur variable et présente au niveau de l'extrémité la plus épaisse une arête arrondie. En principe, ces tas sont principalement utilisés pour redresser les tôles et peu pour le décabossage. Car sur la surface plate à décabosser, par exemple, l'utilisation de tas trop arrondis provoque le redressage avec un amincissement et dilatation du métal de la tôle ce qui est absolument à éviter pendant l'opération de décabossage figure 3 présente à titre illustratif un toit de carrosserie de véhicule sous lequel nous avons présenté un tas de l'invention, dont la forme suit bien celle de la tôle, et les tas existants correspondant aux brevets US-A-1441316 et US-A-1506578 dont la forme est trop arrondie et le poids et trop lourd pour pouvoir suivre les formes des courbures existantes de carrosserie. En outre, certain emplacements dans les véhicules (les portières, les ailes) nécessitent l'utilisation de tas peu encombrants pour pouvoir accéder à l'endroit à décabosser ce qui n'est pas le cas avec les pièces déjà existantes. The piles currently used correspond to existing patents, according to the research report US-A-1441316 and US-A-1506578, have too rounded and too heavy. The pile known from document US-A-1506578 shows an elongated shape and of variable thickness and has at the thickest end a rounded edge. In principle, these heaps are mainly used to straighten the sheets and little for deburring. Because on the flat surface to be taken off, for example, the use of heaps too rounded causes straightening with thinning and expansion of the metal sheet metal which is absolutely to be avoided during the debossing operation FIG. 3 shows by way of illustration a vehicle body roof under which we presented a bunch of invention, the form of which follows well that of sheet metal, and the existing piles corresponding to patents US-A-1441316 and US-A-1506578 whose shape is too rounded and the weight and too heavy to be able to follow the shapes of the existing curvatures of body. In addition, certain locations in vehicles (the doors, fenders) require the use of space-saving heaps to be able to access the area to be removed, which is not the case with already existing parts.
L'objet de l'invention est de s'affranchir de ces inconvénients.
Cet objet est atteint par un jeu de tas de tôlerie
selon la revendication 1.The object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks.
This item is hit by a sheet metal heap game
according to
De la sorte, il est possible avec un jeu de ces deux tas selon l'invention, de faire face à quatre vingt dix pourcent (90%) des situations rencontrées et ainsi permet d'aboutir à une quasi-universalité d'un tel jeu de deux tas, hormis, pour des situations très spécifiques et en outre assez rarement rencontrées. Chacun des deux tas peut-être utilisé séparement. Le tas (1) est destiné à être utilisé dans les secteurs plats et courbés dans un sens comme le montre la figure 3. Le tas (2) est destiné à être utilisé dans les secteurs courbés différemment dans les deux sens.In this way, it is possible with a set of these two heaps according to the invention, to cope with ninety percent (90%) of the situations encountered and thus leads to a quasi-universality of such a game of two heaps, except, for very situations specific and also quite rarely encountered. Each of the two heaps can be used separately. The pile (1) is intended to be used in flat and curved sectors in one direction as shown in Figure 3. The pile (2) is intended for use in differently curved areas in both ways.
De fait, de part la forme particulière légèrement arrondie et bombée des deux tas, on aboutit à l'ensemble des courbures possibles des carrosseries, notamment des carrosseries automobiles, et de manière plus générale des tôles qu'il convient de redresser ou de décabosser.In fact, due to the particular slightly rounded and rounded shape of the two heaps, we end up with all the possible curvatures of the bodies, in particular automobile bodies, and more generally sheets that should be straightened or removed.
De manière dont l'invention peut-être réalisée et les avantages qui en découlent ressortiront mieux de l'exemple de réalisation qui suit, donné à titre indicatif et destiné à la carrosserie de voitures légères, à l'appui des figures annexées.How the invention can be realized and the advantages which will emerge more clearly from the example of embodiment which follows, given to indicative and intended for the bodywork of light cars, to using the attached figures.
La figure 1 est une représentation schématique en perspective du jeu de deux tas conformes à un mode de réalisation de l'invention.Figure 1 is a schematic perspective representation of the game of two heaps according to an embodiment of the invention.
La figure 2 est une représentation schématique en section transversale de l'un des deux tas de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional representation of one of the two heaps in Figure 1.
La figure 3 est une représentation d'un toit de carrosserie sous lequel sont représentés le tas de l'invention et des tas selon l'état de la technique.Figure 3 is a representation of a body roof under which are represented the heap of the invention and heaps according to the state of the art.
Les figures 4 et 5 montrent en détail un mode de réalisation des tas du jeu de tas selon l'invention.Figures 4 and 5 show in detail an embodiment of the heaps of the game of heap according to the invention.
Le tas (1), est de dimension légèrement inférieure
au tas (2), bien que ces deux éléments pourraient être de la même longueur,
est aisément préhensible dans une main, et présente une forme allongée et
amincie se terminant au niveau de son extrémité (5) par une forme
recourbée (rayon de courbure de 150 à 190 mm et avantageusement proche
de 170 mm ; voir Figure 4). The pile (1) is slightly smaller
heap (2), although these two elements could be the same length,
is easily gripped in one hand, and has an elongated shape and
thinned ending at its end (5) with a shape
curved (radius of
L'extrémité (13) du tas (1) est la plus épaisse, présente deux arêtes (9) et (10), également arrondies. Le rayon de courbure de l'arête (9) est beaucoup plus court que celui de l'arête (10), de sorte que la courbure (9) est beaucoup plus prononcée que l'arête (10), le rayon de courbure (19) peut varié selon l'épaisseur.The end (13) of the pile (1) is the thickest, has two edges (9) and (10), also rounded. The radius of curvature of the edge (9) is much shorter than that of the edge (10), so that the curvature (9) is much more pronounced than the edge (10), the radius of curvature (19) can varied by thickness.
Parallèlement, la face supérieure (3) (d'une extrémité à une autre) est légèrement bombée dans le sens transversal, ainsi que l'on peut l'observer sur la figure 4. De fait, le rayon de courbure de cette face supérieure, dans le plan transversal est compris entre 150 et 190 mm, et avantageusement proche de 170 mm.At the same time, the upper face (3) (from one end to the other) is slightly curved in the transverse direction, as can be observed in FIG. 4. In fact, the radius of curvature of this upper face, in the transverse plane is between 150 and 190 mm, and advantageously close to 170 mm.
Dans le plan longitudinal, la face supérieure présente tout d'abord un
profil sensiblement plan (rayon de courbure de 170 mm) prés de l'extrémité
(13) sur une distance de 50 mm, puis se recourbe progressivement avec un
rayon de courbure qui varie de 150 à environ 48 mm. De fait compte tenu
de cette courbure variable, l'extrémité antérieure (5) est située dans un plan
sous-jacent par rapport au plan contenant la base (7) du tas (1). La base (7)
est composée d'une partie parfaitement plate de longueur 70 mm, et d'une
partie arrondie rejoignant l'extrémité (5) avec une courbure de 56,5 mm. La
zone (5) et la base (7) se convergent en définissant un arrondi de 2 mm.In the longitudinal plane, the upper face first of all has a
substantially flat profile (radius of curvature of 170 mm) near the end
(13) over a distance of 50 mm, then gradually bends with a
radius of curvature which varies from 150 to about 48 mm. In fact given
of this variable curvature, the anterior end (5) is located in a plane
underlying with respect to the plane containing the base (7) of the heap (1). The base (7)
is composed of a perfectly flat part of
Les deux faces latérales (15) et (16) sont parallèles et parfaitement plates. Elles définissent avec les faces supérieures et inférieures des arêtes dont le rayon de courbure est de 1 mm.The two side faces (15) and (16) are parallel and perfectly flat. They define with the upper and lower faces edges whose radius of curvature is 1 mm.
En outre l'inclinaison relative de la face supérieure (3) par rapport à la base (7) est comprise entre 3 et 10°, et avantageusement voisine de 5°.Furthermore, the relative inclination of the upper face (3) relative to the base (7) is between 3 and 10 °, and advantageously close to 5 °.
Le tas (2), selon les deux variantes, est de dimension légèrement supérieure
au tas (1), présente une forme allongée se terminant au niveau de son
extrémité (6) par une forme recourbée et amincie (rayon de courbure
transversal de 55 mm).The pile (2), according to the two variants, is slightly larger
heap (1), has an elongated shape ending at its
end (6) by a curved and thinned shape (radius of
L'arête (11, 12) pourra prendre de courbure selon la modification de l'épaisseur de l'extrémité (14). The edge (11, 12) can take curvature according to the modification of the thickness of the end (14).
La face supérieure (4) (d'une extrémité à une autre) est bombée dans le sens transversal, ainsi qu'on peut l'observer sur la figure (5). De fait, le rayon de courbure de cette face supérieure, dans le sens transversal, est compris entre 256 mm (zone 14), 93,5 mm (zone 4), et 55 mm (arête (6)).The upper face (4) (from one end to another) is curved in the transverse direction, as can be seen in Figure (5). In fact, the radius of curvature of this upper face, in the transverse direction, is between 256 mm (zone 14), 93.5 mm (zone 4), and 55 mm (edge (6)).
Dans le plan longitudinal, la face supérieure présente sur une distance de 90 mm, un profil sensiblement plan (rayon de courbure supérieur à 250 mm), puis se recourbe progressivement avec un rayon de courbure qui varie de 64 mm à 16 mm. De fait, compte tenu de cette courbure variable, l'extrémité antérieure (6) est située dans un plan sous-jacent par rapport au plan contenant la base (8) du tas (2). La base (8) est composée d'une partie parfaitement plate de longueur 116 mm, et d'une partie arrondie rejoignant l'extrémité (6) avec une courbure de 21,5 mm. L'extrémité (6) et la base (8) se convergent en définissant un arrondi de 2 mm.In the longitudinal plane, the upper face presents over a distance of 90 mm, a substantially flat profile (radius of curvature greater than 250 mm), then gradually bends with a varying radius of curvature from 64 mm to 16 mm. In fact, given this variable curvature, the anterior end (6) is located in an underlying plane relative to the plan containing the base (8) of the heap (2). The base (8) is composed of a part perfectly flat, 116 mm long, with a rounded part joining the end (6) with a curvature of 21.5 mm. The end (6) and the base (8) are converge by defining a rounding of 2 mm.
Les deux faces latérales (17) et (18) sont parallèles et parfaitement plates. Elles définissent avec les faces supérieures et inférieures des arêtes dont le rayon de courbure est de 2 mm. En outre, l'inclinaison relative de la face supérieure (4) par rapport à la base (8) est d'environ 2° pouvant varier en fonction du changement de l'épaisseur du tas (2).The two side faces (17) and (18) are parallel and perfectly flat. They define with the upper and lower faces edges whose radius of curvature is 2 mm. In addition, the relative tilt of the face upper (4) relative to the base (8) is approximately 2 ° which can vary in as a function of the change in pile thickness (2).
Les tas (1) et (2) présentés sur la figure 1 ont comme épaisseur maximum de 26 à 35 mm avec changement dans les courbures des arêtes (9, 10 ; 11, 12). Les dimensions du tas (1) peuvent être modifiées en longueur et en largeur selon la profession.The piles (1) and (2) presented in Figure 1 have as maximum thickness from 26 to 35 mm with change in the curvatures of the edges (9, 10; 11, 12). The heap dimensions (1) can be changed in length and width according to the profession.
Le tas (1), de plus petite dimension, est plus précisément destiné à redresser et à décabosser des tôles sensiblement plates et tronconiques courbées dans un sens. La zone antérieure (5) est destinée à permettre de rentrer au niveau des zones plus étroites et des angles de carrosserie ou de tôlerie.The heap (1), of smaller dimension, is more precisely intended for straightening and removing roughly frustoconical sheets curved in one direction. The anterior zone (5) is intended to allow to enter the level of the narrower zones and the angles of bodywork or sheet metal.
Le tas (2) est destiné plus paticulièrement à décabosser des sections courbée dans les deux sens.The pile (2) is intended more particularly to unravel sections bent in both directions.
A titre indicatif les tableaux (I à IV) ci-dessous représentent les courbures
et leurs évolutions dans des zones de 10 mm d'épaisseurs en partant de
l'extrémité (5) à (13) pour le tas (1) et de l'extrémité (6) à (14) pour le tas
(2).

Compte tenu des différentes valeurs indiquées, notamment des rayons de courbure des parties de chacun des tas, il est possible de décabosser de manière safisfaisante par le seul biais de ce jeu de deux tas, des tôles de tous profils et de toutes épaisseurs.Taking into account the different values indicated, in particular the radii of curvature of the parts of each pile, it is possible to unpack satisfactorily through this game of two heaps, sheets of all profiles and all thicknesses.
Grâce à sa largeur (40 mm) le tas (2) permet le décabossage de pratiquement toutes les courbures utilisées dans la carrosserie automobile légère. Les deux tas (1) et (2) sont adaptables facilement à des travaux de redressage et de décabossage pour la carrosserie de poids lourds ou pour des tôles plus épaisses, en modifiant l'épaisseur, et pour le tas (1) la largeur de 40 à 50 mm.Thanks to its width (40 mm) the pile (2) allows the deburring of practically all the curvatures used in the automobile body slight. The two heaps (1) and (2) are easily adaptable to work of straightening and deburring for the bodywork of heavy goods vehicles or thicker sheets, changing the thickness, and for the pile (1) the width from 40 to 50 mm.
Le jeu de tas de l'invention permet donc de manière simple de remplacer les dispositifs connus à ce jour, et surtout de réduire le nombre de pièces nécessaires au redressage et au décabossage des tôles.The heap game of the invention therefore makes it easy to replace the devices known to date, and especially to reduce the number of parts necessary for the straightening and deburring of the sheets.
