Definitions

  • the invention relates to an expansion head for an apparatus for flaring or widening the ends of tubes or the like.
  • Apparatuses for flaring the ends of the tubes corresponding to the preamble of claim 1 are known (French Patents 2,300,638 - 2,379,333 - 2,332,082 - 2,371,981) and comprising a body with means of displacement by cam and lever '' a mandrel whose conical end acts in thrust in the corresponding bore of a plurality of jaws in the form of sectors connected together by an elastic means to form an expansion head, capable of cooperating externally with the ends of the tubes to flare.
  • the expansion head thus formed is provided with a terminal support flange in the bottom of the bore, with a socket fixedly mounted at the end of the body.
  • Such devices and in particular their expansion heads have drawbacks caused by the positioning and the very conformation of the elastic means ensuring the retention of the jaws between them.
  • This elastic means is housed and positioned in a groove formed circularly at the periphery of the collar of the sleeve, so that it considerably limits the dimensioning of the jaws of the expansion head for the same sleeve. It is necessary to have several ranges of sockets corresponding to different ranges of dimensions of the jaws of the expansion head, and this results in a significant cost and storage.
  • Another major disadvantage is caused by the technological configuration of the elastic medium which does not allow a énontage d and easy reassembly of the entire p former head has nsion for exchange or repair of one or bit of said head, both on site and in the factory.
  • the various known elastic means exert their retaining action in a circumferential and linear manner around the jaw games, thereby causing an imbalance of the applied forces which always tends to reject the jaws relative to each other.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims overcomes these drawbacks and is remarkable in that the elastic jaw retaining means is positioned in a circular groove established below the common flange of each jaw, to allow a wide range of jaw dimensions with the same socket.
  • the expansion head has a retractable elastic retaining means with respect to the bottom of the sleeve, to allow its displacement in expansion or shrinkage, by the action of the mandrel, and also its disassembly.
  • the elastic means ensuring the retention of the jaws therebetween is an open spring having a flat bearing face, so as to no longer exert a linear circumferential action on the entire set of jaws, but an action circumferential surface forming scope, to allow perfect stability of the jaws during disassembly or reassembly.
  • the opening or slit of the aforementioned spring further authorizes the introduction of a clamp, with a view to its spacing for mounting or dismounting.
  • this apparatus comprises a body (1) with means of displacement by cam (2) and lever (2) of a mandrel (3) whose conical end (3) acts in thrust on an expansion head (T) housed inside a bushing (4) fixed at the end of the body (1 ).
  • the sleeve (4) is tapped at (4 1 ) to be screwed onto the external thread (1) of the body (1).
  • the lower part of the sleeve (4) is pierced at (4 2 ) with a hole of diameter smaller than said internal thread, to form a shoulder (4 3 ) allowing positioning, passage and the overflow of the expansion head (T).
  • the expansion head (T) is produced from several jaws (5), FIG. 3, generally six, in the form of sectors, which have, from their common internal edge (5 1 ), recesses (5 2 ) flared from their lower end, to form, after circular positioning of the sectors, a conical bore (5 3 ), Figures 1 and 2.
  • the different jaws (5) are held circularly between them by an elastic member (0).
  • the elastic means (0) for holding the jaws (5) is positioned in a circular groove (5 4 ) established below an externally squared edge (5 5 ), of small diameter, common to each jaw , to constitute, after their circular coaxial mounting, a support flange on the shoulder (4 3 ) of the sleeve (4). This arrangement allows a wide range of jaw dimensions with the same socket.
  • the elastic means for retaining (0) the jaws (5) is a spring (6) with at least one flat bearing face (6) intended to cooperate with the corresponding bottom (5 6 ) of the groove (5 4 ) which constitutes a flat surface. It follows that the flat support face (6 1 ) of the spring, in combination with the bottom of the groove (5 4 ), determines a support along a peripheral surface forming a scope for self-centering and stable positioning in height of the jaws (5), thereby avoiding an imbalance in all directions, in particular during assembly (assembly or disassembly) o
  • the spring (6) is open at (6 2 ) to give it a certain diametrical expansion when the mandrel (3) is pressed into the resulting bore (5 3 ) of the jaw assembly (5), with a view to their possible spacing.
  • the opening (6 2 ) of the spring (6) allows the introduction of a clamp specially shaped to allow its spacing relative to the set of jaws, for its assembly and / or disassembly.
  • the spring (6) always with an internal planar support face, may not be open, on the sole condition that it is made of a material capable of undergoing a diametrical expansion by elasticity in particular, with a view to a. assembly and disassembly on the one hand, and on the other hand so as not to hinder the spacing of the jaws (5).
  • an elastic member (A) suitably profiled for, 6 ′ on the one hand being centered in an external groove (5 7 ) common to the jaws (5), and on the other hand, projecting alternately from the external diameter of the head (T), in order to ensure its axial retention in combination with the underside (4 4 ) of the sleeve (4) and the support flange (5 5 ) of said jaws (5).
  • the elastic member (A) is an open pin spring (7), of pentagonal shape ( Figures 1 and 2), the sides (7 1 ) of which are centered and positioned in the groove (5 7 ) and whose projecting vertices (7 2 ) project beyond the outside diameter of the socket (4) to be applied to the underside (4 4 ) of said socket (4), Figures 4 and 6, when the flange ( 5 5 ) is supported on the shoulder (4 3. ) Of the sleeve (4). It is obvious that the groove (5 7 ) is machined at a distance (d) from below the collar (5 5 ), equal to the depth of the hole (4 2 ) of the sleeve (4). There is therefore no clearance at height ( Figures 4 and 5).
  • the pin spring (7) is open at (7 3 ) so as not to harm the diametrical expansion of the jaws (5); for this purpose, in a preferred manner, the spring (7) is split in line with one of its vertices (72).
  • the pentagonal shape of the spring (7) is preferred although not limiting.
