Description

"Essieu à roues indépendantes comportant une traverse-réservoir"
La présente invention concerne un essieu à roues indépendantes, du type comprenant deux demi-arbres coaxiaux portant chacun au moins une roue équipée d'un dispositif de freinage, deux caissons sur lesquels les demi-arbres sont montés à rotation, ces caissons étant articulés sur une traverse destinée à être fixée à un châssis de véhicule, notamment de poids-lourd, et deux suspensions pneumatiques montées sur les caissons de façon à supporter le châssis lorsque la traverse est fixée à ce dernier."Axle with independent wheels comprising a tank cross-member"
The present invention relates to an axle with independent wheels, of the type comprising two coaxial half-shafts each carrying at least one wheel equipped with a braking device, two boxes on which the half-shafts are mounted for rotation, these boxes being articulated on a crossmember intended to be fixed to a vehicle chassis, in particular of a heavy goods vehicle, and two pneumatic suspensions mounted on the boxes so as to support the chassis when the crossmember is fixed to the latter.

Les dispositifs de freinage et les suspensions pneumatiques des poids-lourds comportant des essieux à roues indépendantes sont alimentés en air comprimé à partir de bouteilles de dimensions relativement importantes. Or comme ces bouteilles sont encombrantes, les constructeurs sont actuellement amenés à les installer à une certaine distance des essieux et par conséquent à les relier aux dispositifs de freinage par des conduites de grande longueur. De telles conduites ont toutefois l'inconvénient d'allonger le temps de réponse des dispositifs de freinage, ce qui peut poser de sérieux problèmes de sécurité. The braking devices and pneumatic suspensions of heavy goods vehicles comprising axles with independent wheels are supplied with compressed air from cylinders of relatively large dimensions. However, as these bottles are bulky, manufacturers are currently required to install them at a certain distance from the axles and therefore to connect them to the braking devices by long lines. However, such pipes have the drawback of lengthening the response time of the braking devices, which can pose serious safety problems.

La présente invention se propose de remédier à cet inconvénient et, pour ce faire, elle a pour objet un essieu à roues indépendantes du type précité, qui se caractérise en ce que la traverse est constituée par un réservoir à air comprimé ayant une paroi latérale cylindrique pourvue d'orifices respectivement reliés à au moins une conduite d'arrivée raccordée à une source d'air comprimé et à au moins deux conduites de départ respectivement raccordées aux dispositifs de freinage et aux suspensions. The present invention proposes to overcome this drawback and, to do this, it relates to an axle with independent wheels of the aforementioned type, which is characterized in that the cross member is constituted by a compressed air tank having a cylindrical side wall provided with orifices respectively connected to at least one inlet pipe connected to a source of compressed air and to at least two outlet pipes respectively connected to the braking devices and to the suspensions.

La solution proposée permet de réduire la longueur des conduites reliant le réservoir aux dispositifs de freinage et donc d'abaisser le temps de réponse de ces derniers et d'améliorer la sécurité. Elle permet en outre de libérer l'emplacement qui était réservé aux bouteilles à air comprimé et de le destiner à d'autres fonctions.  The proposed solution makes it possible to reduce the length of the pipes connecting the reservoir to the braking devices and therefore to reduce the response time of the latter and improve safety. It also makes it possible to free the space which was reserved for compressed air cylinders and to allocate it for other functions.

De préférence, les orifices ménagés dans la paroi latérale du réservoir sont taraudés et reçoivent par vissage des valves pneumatiques par l'intermédiaire desquelles ledit réservoir est relié aux différentes conduites. Preferably, the orifices provided in the side wall of the tank are tapped and receive by screwing pneumatic valves by means of which said tank is connected to the various pipes.

Comme les valves pneumatiques sont fixées directement contre le réservoir, elles sont peu encombrantes et facilement accessibles, ce qui est particulièrement avantageux sur les châssis de véhicules surbaissés sur lesquels les espaces libres sont très limités. As the pneumatic valves are fixed directly against the tank, they are compact and easily accessible, which is particularly advantageous on the chassis of lowered vehicles on which the free spaces are very limited.

Il est souhaitable que le réservoir renferme au moins un tube traversant de façon étanche sa paroi latérale en deux emplacements opposés. It is desirable that the reservoir contains at least one tube sealingly passing through its side wall at two opposite locations.

Ce tube peut en effet être utilisé pour permettre à un élément allongé tel qu'un câble ou un tuyau de traverser le réservoir plutôt que de le contourner. Il peut donc faciliter la mise en place de cet élément et éviter de lui donner des longueurs excessives. This tube can indeed be used to allow an elongated element such as a cable or a pipe to pass through the tank rather than bypass it. It can therefore facilitate the installation of this element and avoid giving it excessive lengths.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le réservoir comporte deux fonds bombés solidaires de sa paroi latérale et dont au moins l'un d'eux est pourvu d'un bouchon amovible. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the reservoir has two domed bottoms secured to its side wall and at least one of which is provided with a removable cap.

Grâce à ses fonds bombés, le réservoir est capable de résister à des efforts mécaniques intenses et à des pressions d'air élevées. Par ailleurs, grâce à son bouchon amovible, il est possible de procéder régulièrement à un examen interne de ses soudures, de son revêtement, etc... afin d'éviter tout risque de défaillance accidentelle. Thanks to its domed bottoms, the tank is able to withstand intense mechanical forces and high air pressures. Furthermore, thanks to its removable cap, it is possible to regularly carry out an internal examination of its welds, its coating, etc. in order to avoid any risk of accidental failure.

L'essieu à roues indépendantes conforme à l'invention se caractérise en outre en ce que chaque caisson est articulé sur deux pivots coaxiaux portés par deux pattes fixées sur la partie inférieure de la paroi latérale du réservoir. The axle with independent wheels according to the invention is further characterized in that each box is articulated on two coaxial pivots carried by two legs fixed on the lower part of the side wall of the tank.

Par ailleurs, pour que le réservoir puisse être facilement fixé au châssis, il est souhaitable qu'il comporte deux supports faisant saillie sur la partie supérieure de sa paroi latérale, ces supports ayant une surface porteuse sur laquelle le châssis est susceptible de s'appuyer. Furthermore, so that the reservoir can be easily fixed to the chassis, it is desirable that it has two supports projecting from the upper part of its side wall, these supports having a load-bearing surface on which the chassis is capable of bearing. .

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les deux pattes extrêmes sont adjacentes aux extrémités du réservoir et sont prolongées à la partie supérieure de ce dernier par les deux supports.  According to another characteristic of the invention, the two end tabs are adjacent to the ends of the tank and are extended to the upper part of the latter by the two supports.

Les pattes extrêmes et les supports constituent deux sortes de frettes renforçant encore la résistance du réservoir. The extreme lugs and the supports constitute two kinds of hoops further strengthening the resistance of the tank.

Un mode d'exécution de la présente invention sera décrit ciaprès à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels
- la figure 1 est une vue de côté schématique d'un essieu à roues indépendantes conforme à l'invention, cet essieu supportant un châssis de véhicule, notamment de poids-lourd
- la figure 2 est une vue de dessus schématique de l'essieu à roues indépendantes visible sur la figure i
- la figure 3 est une vue de face du réservoir à air comprimé constituant la traverse de l'essieu ; et
- la figure 4 est une vue en coupe selon la ligne IV-IV de la figure 3.An embodiment of the present invention will be described below by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which
- Figure 1 is a schematic side view of an axle with independent wheels according to the invention, this axle supporting a vehicle chassis, in particular of a heavy goods vehicle
- Figure 2 is a schematic top view of the axle with independent wheels visible in Figure i
- Figure 3 is a front view of the compressed air tank constituting the cross member of the axle; and
- Figure 4 is a sectional view along the line IV-IV of Figure 3.

L'essieu à roues indépendantes que l'on peut voir sur les figures 1 et 2 comprend d'une manière connue en soi deux demi-arbres coaxiaux 1 portant chacun deux roues jumelées 2 équipées d'un dispositif de freinage 3, deux caissons 4 sur lesquels les demiarbres 1 sont montés à rotation, ces caissons étant articulés sur une traverse 5 sur laquelle s' appuie un châssis de véhicule 6, et deux suspensions pneumatiques 7 s'étendant entre les caissons 4 et le châssis 6. The axle with independent wheels which can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises in a manner known per se two coaxial half-shafts 1 each carrying two twin wheels 2 equipped with a braking device 3, two boxes 4 on which the half-shafts 1 are rotatably mounted, these boxes being articulated on a cross-member 5 on which a vehicle chassis 6 is supported, and two air suspensions 7 extending between the boxes 4 and the chassis 6.

Conformément à l'invention, la traverse 5 est constituée par un réservoir à air comprimé ayant une paroi latérale cylindrique 8 pourvue d'orifices taraudés (désignés par la référence 9 sur les figures 1 et 3), dans lesquels sont vissées des valves pneumatiques 10, il et 12. According to the invention, the cross-member 5 is constituted by a compressed air tank having a cylindrical side wall 8 provided with threaded orifices (designated by the reference 9 in FIGS. 1 and 3), into which are pneumatic valves 10 , he and 12.

La valve 10 est reliée à une conduite d'arrivée 13 raccordée à une source d'air comprimé (non représentée) telle qu'un compresseur tandis que les valves il et 12 sont respectivement reliées à des conduites de départ i4,i5 raccordées la première aux dispositifs de freinage 3 et la seconde aux suspensions 7. The valve 10 is connected to an inlet pipe 13 connected to a source of compressed air (not shown) such as a compressor while the valves 11 and 12 are respectively connected to the outlet pipes i4, i5 connected first. to the braking devices 3 and the second to the suspensions 7.

On précisera ici que la valve 10 permet de remplir le réservoir avec de l'air comprimé et de contrôler sa pression interne et que les valves il et 12 permettent quant à elles de commander les dispositifs de freinage ou les suspensions
Le réservoir est traversé par deux tubes 16 dont les extrémités sont soudées à sa paroi latérale, ces tubes étant destinés à livrer passage à des éléments allongés tels que des câbles ou des tubes.It will be specified here that the valve 10 makes it possible to fill the reservoir with compressed air and to control its internal pressure and that the valves 11 and 12 make it possible to control the braking devices or the suspensions
Two tubes 16 pass through the reservoir, the ends of which are welded to its side wall, these tubes being intended to allow passage to elongated elements such as cables or tubes.

Les deux extrémités de la paroi latérale 8 du réservoir sont fermées par deux fonds bombés 17 dont l'un d'eux est pourvu d'un bouchon 18 (visible uniquement sur la figure 1) pouvant être facilement enlevé pour qu'un examen des soudures et du revêtement interne puisse être pratiqué en cas de besoin. The two ends of the side wall 8 of the tank are closed by two domed bottoms 17, one of which is provided with a plug 18 (visible only in FIG. 1) which can be easily removed so that an examination of the welds and internal coating can be practiced if necessary.

Sur la partie inférieure de sa paroi latérale, le réservoir comporte deux pattes extrêmes 19 pourvues chacun d'un pivot 20 et deux pattes intermédiaires 21 pourvues chacune d'un pivot 22. On the lower part of its side wall, the reservoir has two end tabs 19 each provided with a pivot 20 and two intermediate tabs 21 each provided with a pivot 22.

Les pivot 20 et 22 sont coaxiaux et supportent à pivotement les caissons 4, chaque caisson étant articulé sur un pivot 20 et sur un pivot 22. The pivots 20 and 22 are coaxial and pivotally support the boxes 4, each box being articulated on a pivot 20 and on a pivot 22.

Le réservoir comporte par ailleurs deux supports 23 faisant saillie sur la partie supérieure de sa paroi latérale, ces supports ayant une surface porteuse 24 contre laquelle le châssis 6 est fixé par boulonnage. The tank also comprises two supports 23 projecting from the upper part of its side wall, these supports having a bearing surface 24 against which the frame 6 is fixed by bolting.

On notera ici que les pattes extrêmes 19 et les supports 23 ceinturent le réservoir au voisinage de ses extrémités et renforcent sa résistance vis à vis des contraintes mécaniques et de la pression de l'air comprimé. It will be noted here that the end tabs 19 and the supports 23 surround the tank in the vicinity of its ends and reinforce its resistance with respect to mechanical stresses and the pressure of the compressed air.

D'après ce qui précède, on conçoit aisément que la présente invention permet de réduire la longueur des conduites, d'alimenter directement les valves pneumatiques, de diminuer le temps de réponse des dispositifs de freinage, et de réaliser des gains de poids et d'encombrement, ce qui est particulièrement intéressant dans le cas des véhicules à châssis surbaissés.  From the above, it is easy to see that the present invention makes it possible to reduce the length of the pipes, to directly supply the pneumatic valves, to reduce the response time of the braking devices, and to achieve weight and weight savings. 'size, which is particularly interesting in the case of vehicles with low chassis.
