DISPOSITIF POUR L'EXTRACTION AUTOMATIOUE D' ELECTRODES DE
SOUDAGE
La présente invention se raDDorte à un dispositif pour l'extraction automatique d' électrodes de soudage montées sur des pinces à souder.DEVICE FOR THE AUTOMATED EXTRACTION OF ELECTRODES FROM
WELDING
The present invention relates to a device for the automatic extraction of welding electrodes mounted on welding tongs.
L'assemblane des tôles revêtues telles que des tôles électrozinguées et galvanisées a entravé le problème délicat posé par la pollution des faces actives des électrodes de soudage. The assembly of coated sheets such as galvanized and galvanized sheets has hampered the delicate problem posed by pollution of the active faces of the welding electrodes.
Cette pollution crée une résistivité et impose un échange fréquent de ces électrodes après un nombre limité de cycles de soudage.This pollution creates a resistivity and requires frequent exchange of these electrodes after a limited number of welding cycles.
Actuellement, cette opération se fait manuellement et implique un arrêt de la chaîne de montage à chaque échange, pénalisant ainsi de plusieurs minutes, la cadence d1 assemblage.Currently, this operation is done manually and involves stopping the assembly line at each exchange, thereby penalizing the assembly rate by several minutes.
L' invention a pour but de remédier à cette intervention manuelle par un système d1 extraction automatique.The object of the invention is to remedy this manual intervention by an automatic extraction system.
Suivant une particularité essentielle, cet extracteur automatique comPrend un corps creux cylindrique, à l'intérieur duquel sont insérés axialement une multiplicité de clinquants équidistants dont les Plans ne passent pas par 1' axe de ce dispositif extracteur, de manière à pouvoir emprisonner une électrode et transmettre un couple.According to an essential characteristic, this automatic extractor comprises a cylindrical hollow body, inside which are axially inserted a multiplicity of equidistant foils whose planes do not pass through the axis of this extractor device, so as to be able to trap an electrode and transmit a couple.
Suivant une autre particularité, ces clinquants qui enserrent 1t électrode détachent celle-ci de son support par un mouvement de rotation automatique imprimé à ce dispositif.According to another particularity, these foils which enclose the electrode detach it from its support by an automatic rotational movement printed on this device.
il ressort de ces particularités que cette extraction automatique fondée sur un blocage de 1' électrode par des clinquants et une rotation de ceuxci Dour désolidariser celle-ci de son support, procure - un avantage technique certain constitué par la possibilité de travail en
temps masqué sans affecter le cadencement de la chaîne, - et une extrême simplicité qui assure une grande fiabilité et un coût
minimal.it emerges from these particularities that this automatic extraction based on a blocking of the electrode by foils and a rotation of these to detach it from its support, provides - a certain technical advantage constituted by the possibility of working in
hidden time without affecting the timing of the chain, - and extreme simplicity which ensures high reliability and cost
minimal.
I)' autres particularités et avantages de l'invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit d' un mode de réalisation préféré, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels - la fieure I représente une vue de face en coupe axiale d1 un dispositif
extracteur conforme à 1' invention, - la figure 2 représente une vue de dessus de ce dispositif extracteur, - et la figure 3 représente une vue schématique d1 un montage de ce
dispositif extracteur sur une pince de soudage.I) 'other particularities and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly from the following description of a preferred embodiment, given by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the appended drawings in which - the flower I represents a view front view in axial section of a device
extractor according to the invention, - Figure 2 shows a top view of this extractor device, - and Figure 3 shows a schematic view of an assembly of this
extractor device on a welding clamp.
Comme illustré sur les figures 1 et 2, ce dispositif extracteur comprend un corps creux cylindrique 2 à l'intérieur duquel sont logés axialement plusieurs clinquants 4 équidistants, décalés par rapport à 1' axe de ce corps creux, et susceptibles d' enserrer une électrode 6. Ces clinquants peuvent détacher celle-ci de son support 8 par un mouvement de rotation automatique imprimé au dispositif extracteur. Cette rotation est effectuée au moyen d'une couronne dentée 10, d'un pignon 12 et d'un moteur 14.As illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, this extractor device comprises a cylindrical hollow body 2 inside which are axially housed several foils 4 equidistant, offset with respect to the axis of this hollow body, and capable of enclosing an electrode 6. These foils can detach it from its support 8 by an automatic rotational movement printed on the extractor device. This rotation is carried out by means of a ring gear 10, a pinion 12 and a motor 14.
Un échelon en couple fourni par ce moteur permet de créer 1' effort nécessaire à la désolidarisation de 1' électrode par rapport à un tube-allonge 8 (Figure 3).A torque rung provided by this motor makes it possible to create the force necessary for the separation of the electrode with respect to an extension tube 8 (FIG. 3).
La transmission de puissance ou de choc peut être pneumatique, électrique ou hydraulique.Power or shock transmission can be pneumatic, electric or hydraulic.
L'axe du dispositif extracteur et i' axe théorique passant par les électrodes 6 et 6' non représentée sont amenés coincidants. La fermeture de la pince de soudage 16 insère l'électrode 6 dans les clinquants 4. La rotation du dispositif extracteur libère 1' électrode de son tube-allonge 8. The axis of the extractor device and the theoretical axis passing through the electrodes 6 and 6 'not shown are brought into coincidence. Closing the welding clamp 16 inserts the electrode 6 into the foils 4. The rotation of the extractor device releases the electrode from its extension tube 8.
La souplesse des clinquants permet ainsi de s' affranchir des défauts de géométrie de la pince et du dispositif extracteur, de leurs tolérances d' usinagP ainsi que des contraintes mécaniques existant entre ces deux éléments. The flexibility of the foils thus makes it possible to overcome the geometry faults of the clamp and the extractor device, their machining tolerances as well as the mechanical stresses existing between these two elements.
Ce dispositif extracteur ultrasimple facilite ainsi I' échange automatique de mises rapportées de soudage pendant le transfert de pièces de tôlerie (opération en temps masqué) sans solliciter le support de pince et en s' affranchissant des dispersions de positionnement entre la pince de soudage et ce dispositif extracteur. This ultra-simple extractor device thus facilitates the automatic exchange of added welds during the transfer of sheet metal parts (operation in masked time) without requesting the clamp support and by avoiding positioning dispersions between the welding clamp and this extractor device.
