Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support device for maintain hollow parts in a determined position, as well as a method of implementing such a device.
  • the invention finds a particularly advantageous application, but not exclusive, in the field of external surface treatment of hollow parts.
  • hollow parts are generally prepared prior to the actual surface treatment operation.
  • a such preparation may for example consist of soaking in a bath degreasing, followed by soaking in a rinsing bath.
  • the support device must be able to fulfill its function durably throughout the various phases of the surface treatment envisaged. he must also be able to ensure the individual maintenance of each hollow part whatever its position in space, in order to allow all freedom of manipulation.
  • a device support comprising a support frame on which are fixed a multitude deforming holding members.
  • Each holding member is consisting of a U-shaped part, the central part of which is secured to the frame carrier and whose two substantially parallel branches are capable of being requested in separation from one another thanks to the character deformable of the whole.
  • the device of the prior art also provides means for releases allowing to bring the two branches of the organ of maintenance.
  • this type of support device has the disadvantage of do not allow easy disengagement of hollow parts. Organs are indeed difficult to access when the parts hollow are inserted on it. The two branches of the U, i.e. the two moving parts of each holding member, are thus particularly difficult to handle.
  • the technical problem to be solved, by the subject of this invention is to provide a support device comprising a frame carrier on which is fixed at least one deformable holding member intended to immobilize a hollow part which must undergo a treatment of external surface, support device which would avoid problems of the state of the art, in particular offering great ease of installation implemented at the level of each of its holding members.
  • each holding member comprises a part static integral with the supporting frame, as well as a mounted part elastically mobile in spacing from the static part between, on the one hand, a tight position in which the hollow part is capable of be inserted at least partially on the static part and on the part mobile, and on the other hand, a released position in which the part digs is able to be blocked by the holding member under the action of the force of pressure exerted by the movable part which is elastically stressed in distance from the static part which forms a stop.
  • each holding member according to the invention has only one mobile part, which is moreover mounted elastically mobile in spacing by with respect to the static part, not with respect to another part mobile.
  • Another structural difference is that the part to be process is here inserted both on the static part and on the mobile part, but not on two moving parts as in the prior art. The room hollow is thus blocked by the combined action of the pressing force exercised by the single movable part, and the role of stopper filled by the part static.
  • each holding member in fact comprises only one only mobile part to handle. Furthermore, the configuration structural of each holding member does not require that the end free of the movable part extends towards the interior of the hollow part. it implies that the mobile part in question, and in particular its end free, is particularly accessible.
  • the present invention also relates to the features which will emerge during the description which follows, and which should be considered in isolation or in all their technical combinations possible.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a support device (1) comprising a frame carrier (10) on which is secured a plurality of holding members (20) intended to immobilize hollow parts inside (100) in front undergo an external surface treatment.
  • each member of holding (20) comprises a static part (21) integral with the support frame (10), and a part (22) mounted elastically mobile in spacing by relative to the static part (21).
  • the movable part (22) is thus able to be moved between a constricted position and a released position allowing respectively the insertion and immobilization of a hollow part (100).
  • the hollow part (100) can be inserted at the same time on at least a portion of the static part (21) and on at least a portion of the movable part (22).
  • the static part (21) of each holding member (20) is secured to the support frame (10) by one end (23).
  • This characteristic has the advantage of making available most of the static part (21) to receive the hollow part. So even when it is attached to the supporting frame (10), the static part (21) is mainly accessible to serve as support for any hollow part (100) capable of being inserted thereon.
  • the movable part (22) of each holding member (20) has a free end (24) extending below the plane of the supporting frame (10), relative to the body proper of said holding member (20).
  • This characteristic significantly improves accessibility to the mobile part (22), so that the implementation of the holding member (22) is seen advantageously facilitated.
  • the free end (24) of the movable part (22) indeed extends in an unencumbered area, since located opposite of the main part of the holding member (20) and of the hollow part (100) to be treated, with respect to the support frame (10).
  • each holding member (20) comprises a shoulder (25), forming a stop, which is capable of holding the hollow part (100) at a distance from the support frame (10).
  • the goal is above all to achieve a sort of suspension of the hollow part (100) so that the treatment of its external surface is not hampered by any contact between the edge lower of said hollow part and the upper surface of the support frame (10).
  • each holding member (20) does not has only one shoulder (25) and it is formed on the movable part (22).
  • the holding member (20) consists of a flexible element (30) having substantially the shape of a U including a branch (31), forming part static (21), is secured to the support frame (10) by its free end (33) and of which the other branch (32), forming a movable part (22), is mounted elastically movable in separation from the static branch (31).
  • the free end (34) of the movable branch (32) extends below the plane of the supporting frame (10), relative to the body itself the flexible element U-shaped (30).
  • the static (31) and mobile (32) branches are structurally equivalent since they are an integral part of a one and the same part: the flexible element (30).
  • the flexible element (30) simply, one of them (reference 31) is considered static because it is fixed to the frame carrier (10) via its free end (33), while the other (reference 32) is considered mobile because its free end (34) is not related. Since, moreover, the structure of the U-shaped element (30) is flexible, the movable leg (32) can thus advantageously be moved in spacing from the static branch (31), thereby imparting its deformable nature to the holding member (20).
  • the organs of here (20) are regularly spaced here on the support frame (10).
  • the holding members (20) are, in effect, perfectly aligned and spaced, whether in the longitudinal direction or in the transverse direction.
  • the supporting frame (10) comprises several transverse cross members (11) along which are secured regularly a constant number of holding organs (20).
  • the positioning of the various holding members (20) being determined and known, it is perfectly possible to automate using robots the process of placing hollow parts (100) on the device support (1). This characteristic constitutes a decisive advantage in the industrialization of the envisaged surface treatment process.
  • the support device (1) further comprises means for release (40) capable of moving the movable part (22) of each member of holding (20) between the released position and the constricted position. It is well understood that the released and constricted positions constitute limits and that, consequently, the release means (40) are capable, of a part, to move all the moving parts (22) continuously and, on the other hand, to immobilize said movable parts (22) in any what an intermediate position.
  • the release means (40) are constituted by a release frame (41) which is intended to be positioned parallel to the support frame (10), and which includes stop means (42) able to cooperate by contact with the movable part (22) of each holding member (20).
  • the liberating frame (41) and the support frame (10) are in fact mounted movable in relative translation.
  • the stop means (42) are able to cause the movement of moving parts (22), between the released position and the constricted position, at during a relative translation between the liberating frame (41) and the frame carrier (10).
  • the stop means (42) are constituted by several crosspieces (43) which are secured to the frame liberator (41) substantially perpendicular to the direction of displacement of the mobile parts (22) of the holding members (20).
  • the support device (1) can also include motor means able to generate a relative translation between the liberating frame (41) and the supporting frame (10). This particularity takes on its full meaning in the context of the industrialization of the surface treatment process previously mentioned.
  • the support frame is static and the release frame is mounted movable in translation parallel to said support frame.
  • the invention also relates to a method for putting using a support device 1 as previously described.
  • the first step in this process is to set up a framework carrier (1) on a liberating frame (41).
  • the fourth step then consists in bringing the moving parts (22) of all the holding members (20) in the released position, making again a relative translation between the liberating frame (41) and the frame carrier (10), but this time in the opposite direction to the second step (figure 4).
  • the supporting frame (10) is advantageously separated from the liberating frame (41) so as to have only said support frame (10) to be manipulated.
  • the supporting frame (10) is replaced on a releasing frame (41) during a seventh stage. It should be noted that this liberating framework (41) can or not be the same as in the first five steps.
  • the last step is then to release the hollow parts (100), again bringing the movable parts (22) of all the organs of holding (20) in the closed position.
  • This operation can be advantageously carried out by turning over the whole of the two frames (10, 41), so that the hollow parts (100) treated can be disengage holding members (20) by simple gravity, before just as advantageously fall into a recovery collector.
  • the support frame (10) of the support device (1) comprises at least one transverse cross member (11) along which is secured at least one holding member (20), as well as the means of stop (42) of the support device (1) consist of at least one crosspiece (43) which is secured to the release frame (41) so substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the part mobile (22) of each holding member (20), the free end (24) of each movable part (22), which is positioned below the plane of the frame carrier (10), extending in the displacement region of a cross member (43).
