DISPOSITIF DE RACCORDEMENT D' UN CONDUIT SOUPLE
SUR UN EMBOUT RIGIDE
La présente invention se rapporte à la réalisation d' un dispositif de raccordement étanche d1 un conduit souple en élastomère ou en matière synthétique sur un embout rigide, du type appliqué pour les circuits de refroidissement ou de climatisation, notamment sur des véhicules automobiles.DEVICE FOR CONNECTING A FLEXIBLE CONDUIT
ON A RIGID MOUTHPIECE
The present invention relates to the production of a sealed connection device for a flexible elastomer or synthetic material duct on a rigid end piece, of the type applied for cooling or air conditioning circuits, in particular on motor vehicles.
On utilise généralement, dans le cas d' une liaison du type ci-dessus, des colliers de serrage métalliques qui présentent certains inconvénients - leurs pressions de serrage périphériques ne sont pas uniformes, - ils nécessitent une orientation précise au montage, - ils présentent un encombrement important, - ils sont d' un prix élevé.Generally used, in the case of a connection of the above type, metal clamps which have certain drawbacks - their peripheral clamping pressures are not uniform, - they require a precise orientation during assembly, - they have a large size, - they are expensive.
Par ailleurs, les différences de coefficients de dilatation entre ie métal qui les constitue et les matières synthétiques utilisées pour 1' embout rigide et le conduit souple entraînent soit un trop fort serrage du caoutchouc qui se dégrade alors, soit un serrage trop faible ; dans les deux cas, des fuites sont ainsi provoquées.In addition, the differences in expansion coefficients between the metal which constitutes them and the synthetic materials used for the rigid end piece and the flexible conduit cause either a too strong tightening of the rubber which then degrades, or a too weak tightening; in both cases, leaks are thus caused.
La présente invention a pour but un dispositif de raccordement étanche en matière synthétique palliant les inconvénients cidessus ; il sera décrit à titre d'exemple non limitatif au regard- des figures 1 à 6 ci-)ointes, qui se rapportent respectivement : - les figures 1 et 2, à une vue en coupe longitudinale du dispositif de
raccordement selon l'invention, respectivement avant et après serrage, - la figure 3, à une vue de côté du dispositif de la figure 2, - la figure 4, à une vue en coupe longitudinale d' une première variante
selon 1' invention, - les figures 5 et 6, à des vues analogues d' une seconde variante,
respectivement avant et après serrage. The object of the present invention is to provide a sealed connection device made of synthetic material which overcomes the above drawbacks; it will be described by way of nonlimiting example with regard to FIGS. 1 to 6 below) anointed, which relate respectively: - FIGS. 1 and 2, to a view in longitudinal section of the device
connection according to the invention, respectively before and after tightening, - Figure 3, to a side view of the device of Figure 2, - Figure 4, to a longitudinal sectional view of a first variant
according to the invention, FIGS. 5 and 6, to similar views of a second variant,
before and after tightening respectively.
En référence aux figures 1 à 3, on voit la mise en position des deux éléments à moindre, respectivement un tuyau souple l de préférence en élastomère et d' un embout rigide 2 en métal, en polyamide, ou encore en polypropylène ; ce dernier comporte une butée 3 et un bourrelet 4 disposé à sa Dartie antérieure. Les deux éléments l et 2 étant en position, on dispose au niveau de la ponction une portion de gaine thermorétractable 5, constituée en un matériau tel que du polyéthylène ou du PVC non stabilisé.With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, we can see the positioning of the two lower elements, respectively a flexible pipe l, preferably made of elastomer and of a rigid end piece 2 made of metal, polyamide, or even polypropylene; the latter comprises a stop 3 and a bead 4 disposed at its anterior Dartie. The two elements 1 and 2 being in position, there is at the puncture a portion of heat-shrinkable sheath 5, made of a material such as polyethylene or unstabilized PVC.
Comme on le voit bien à la figure 3, la gaine comporte au moins à l' une de ses extrémités et de préférence du coté du tuyau souple l des pattes de préhension 6 résultant du découpaee et du retournement de l'extrémité correspondante. Ces pattes 6 déterminent entre elles des amorces de rupture longitudinales permettant 1' élimination d' une gaine 5 usagée ; ces amorces sont situées en amont des zones de rétraction afin d'éviter tout déchirement intempestif.As can be seen in Figure 3, the sheath has at least at one of its ends and preferably on the side of the flexible tube l of the gripping tabs 6 resulting from the cutting and the inversion of the corresponding end. These tabs 6 determine between them longitudinal incipient fractures allowing the elimination of a used sheath 5; these primers are located upstream of the retraction zones in order to avoid any untimely tearing.
Le serrage de l' ensemble ci-dessus se fait par chauffage de la gaine thermorétractable 5 auZessus de sa température critique, ce qui détermine ainsi sa contraction autour des éléments l et 2 ; cette action est complétée par la circulation interne du liquide chaud transporté.The above assembly is tightened by heating the heat-shrinkable sheath 5 above its critical temperature, which thus determines its contraction around the elements l and 2; this action is completed by the internal circulation of the hot liquid transported.
Au niveau du bourrelet 4, on obtient un premier niveau d' étanchéité ; de plus, sous l'influence de la contraction de la gaine 5, la totalité de la longueur du tuyau l en contact avec l' embout 2 est serrée de manière homogène et avec un effort périphérique constant, ce qui constitue un second niveau d' étanchéité ; enfin, un troisème est réalisé par emprisonnement de la butée 3 au moyen de l'extrémité correspondante de ladite gaine 5, comme représenté aux figures 2 et 3.At the bead 4, a first level of tightness is obtained; moreover, under the influence of the contraction of the sheath 5, the entire length of the pipe l in contact with the end piece 2 is tightened in a homogeneous manner and with a constant peripheral force, which constitutes a second level of sealing; finally, a third is produced by confining the stop 3 by means of the corresponding end of said sheath 5, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
Le dispositif illustré à la figure 4 permet la connexion de deux tuyaux souples 40 de même diamètre, par l'intermédiaire d'un double embout rigide 41 et d'une gaine thermorétractable 42. L'embout 41 comporte une butée 43 pour les extrémités des tuyaux 40, et deux bourrelets 44. La gaine est pourvue à 1' une au moins de ses extrémités de pattes 45 ; après chauffage, elle se rétracte en assurant comme dans le cas des figures précédentes, I' étanchéité du système résultant notamment de la coopération avec la butée 43, les bourrelets 44 et les tuyaux 40. The device illustrated in FIG. 4 allows the connection of two flexible pipes 40 of the same diameter, by means of a rigid double end piece 41 and a heat-shrinkable sheath 42. The end piece 41 includes a stop 43 for the ends of the pipes 40, and two beads 44. The sheath is provided with at least one of its ends of lugs 45; after heating, it retracts, ensuring, as in the case of the preceding figures, the tightness of the system resulting in particular from cooperation with the stop 43, the beads 44 and the pipes 40.
La variante de l'invention illustrée aux figures 5 et 6 permet de oindra des tuyaux souples 50-51 de diamètres différents ; l'embout rigide 5S présente alors deux parties étagées de diamètres appropriés 52 et 53 séparées par la butée 54, au niveau de laquelle sont emmanchées les extrémités à loindre des tuyaux souples 50-51. L'embout 51 présente comme précédemment un bourrelet 55 à chacune de ses extrémités libres.The variant of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 makes it possible to anoint flexible pipes 50-51 of different diameters; the rigid end piece 5S then has two stepped parts of appropriate diameters 52 and 53 separated by the stop 54, at which the ends of the flexible pipes 50-51 are fitted. The end piece 51 has, as before, a bead 55 at each of its free ends.
Une gaine thermorétractable 56, possédant des pattes 57, assure après contraction l'étanchéité du système dans les mêmes conditions que précédemment décrites. A heat-shrinkable sheath 56, having tabs 57, ensures after contraction the tightness of the system under the same conditions as previously described.
On notera que le raccordement selon l'invention ne pose plus de problème d' étanchéité sous l'influence des changements de température, puisque la dilatation de l' embout rigide entraînera une variation de dilatation similaire des tuyaux souples, sans les détériorations délà mentionnées résultant de l' emploi des -colliers métalliques.It will be noted that the connection according to the invention no longer poses a sealing problem under the influence of temperature changes, since the expansion of the rigid end piece will cause a similar variation in expansion of the flexible pipes, without the damage mentioned above resulting of the use of metal clamps.
De plus, les caractéristiques thermorétractables -de la gaine périphérique permettent de maintenir un resserrage constant, malgré les variations de température de 1' environnement, ce qui entraîne de remarquables performances au niveau de l' étanchéité. In addition, the heat-shrinkable characteristics of the peripheral sheath make it possible to maintain a constant tightening, despite the variations in temperature of the environment, which results in remarkable performances in terms of sealing.
