    Technical area
    The present invention generally relates to the field of assembly devices and it relates in particular to a connector made of a polymer material reinforced with fibers having assembly holes in perpendicular planes.
    Background îo Elbows or fittings for joining two or more elements are well known in the art. When intended to assemble surfaces that are generally perpendicular to each other, these supports / fittings often have a geometry that is essentially L-shaped or essentially T-shaped. In aerospace applications, for which weight and strength are important considerations, more and more composite materials are used in the manufacture of fittings.
    An example of an L-shaped composite connector is known according to US Patent 8925880. This connector is made by placing prepreg fibers in the form of fabrics or mats in a mold having a specific geometry. This connector has two parts which are essentially perpendicular to each other, and in which assembly holes are provided. One of these parts has on its internal side a concave curved profile, the hole or holes provided in this part having an axis radial to the curvature.
    An example of a T-shaped fitting having three legs provided with assembly holes is disclosed in US Patent 9447802. The legs are molded from a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic or thermoset matrix, and extend radially to from a junction area. This junction area has a cross section in the form of a polygon with concave sides.
    There is room for improvement.
    summary
    The invention relates to a connector for assembling first and second components which are generally arranged at right angles to each other. This connector comprises a flange part which extends in a first direction and a base part which extends in a second direction, generally perpendicular to the first direction, a main body of the flange part and the base part being made in one molded fiber composite material. The flange part has a first assembly hole formed by a first hollow insert disposed in the main body of the flange part, a bore in this first insert being adapted so as to receive a fixing element for assembling the flange part. to the first component. Similarly, the base part has a second assembly hole formed by a second hollow insert disposed in the main body of the base part, a bore of this second insert being adapted so as to receive a fixing element for assembling the base part to the second component. According to the invention, the connector further comprises a continuous fiber cable which is wound around a part of the radially outer surfaces of the first and of the second insert. This continuous fiber cable generally extends in the first direction inside the flange part of the fitting and generally extends in the second direction inside the base part and follows a curved path inside '' a transition zone between the flange part and the base part.
    During the use of the fitting, the forces acting on either the first component or the second component are transferred to the other component via the fitting, via the first and second assembly holes. Thus, by interconnecting the holes using a continuous fiber cable, the fiber reinforcement is located at the level of the load path and aligned with it, giving the connector greater resistance and greater rigidity where it is needs it the most. On the other hand, the curved path followed by the continuous fiber cable in the transition zone between the flange part and the base part creates an optimal tensile force path, allowing the tensile forces to be absorbed by the cable. of continuous fibers, while the compressive forces are absorbed by the molded main body.
    In order to improve the strength of the fitting during use, it is advantageous to apply a compressive force to the continuous fiber cable in a transverse direction. In a preferred embodiment, the fitting is part of an assembly support having a washer piece having a through hole for receiving the rod of a fastener, which through hole is aligned with the second assembly hole in the base part. An upper surface of this washer piece can be flat to receive, for example, the head of the fixing element. A bottom of this washer piece exerts a clamping force on an upper surface of the base part of the fitting, when the fixing element is screwed, for example, in the second component. In order to exert a compressive force in the transverse direction on the continuous fiber cable in the transition zone, the upper surface of the fitting preferably has a concave part and the underside of the washer part has a convex part corresponding to the level of the transition zone between the base part and the flange part of the fitting.
    In one embodiment, the curvature of the convex part and of the concave part of the washer part and of the fitting corresponds respectively to the curvature of the path followed by the continuous fiber cable in the transition zone, in the direction that they share a common center of curvature.
    Preferably, the upper surface of the base part has a concave recess, the second assembly hole generally being located in the lowest region of this concave recess and separating the base part into a first and a second side. The flange side of the base part will be designated as the first side; the side distal to the flange will be designated as the second side.
    The resistance of this connector can be further improved by allowing the continuous fiber cable to extend into a second side of the base portion, above an upper level of the second assembly hole. Advantageously, the upper surface of the base part comprises a second concave part at the level of the second side of the base part. In an advantageous embodiment, the continuous fiber cable follows a curved path inside the second side of the base part, which curved path shares a center of curvature with the second concave part. As will be understood, the underside of the washer piece has a suitable shape to fit against the second concave part, to exert a compressive force in the transverse direction on the continuous fiber cable inside the second side of the base part.
    In order to guide the continuous fiber cable in the desired curved path, the radially outer surface of the second insert can be formed so as to curve towards the upper surface of the base part at the level of the first and the second side of the second assembly hole. In one embodiment, the radially outer surface of the second insert is provided with at least one groove or recess or flange for retaining and guiding the continuous fiber cable during the winding process. Preferably, the radially outer surface of the first insert is likewise provided with at least one groove or a recess.
    In one example, the inserts have a groove in the outer surface with a width which is essentially equal to the dimensions of the continuous fiber cable. Generally, the continuous fiber cable has a diameter between 0.5 and 1.5 mm. During the winding process, the continuous fiber cable is wrapped around the groove, which helps to keep the continuous fiber cable in place, thus facilitating pre-tensioning. Additional loops of the continuous fiber cable can be wrapped around the loop which is retained in the groove. In other examples, the radially outer surface of the hollow inserts is roughened.
    In order to facilitate the compression of the continuous fiber cable in the transverse direction, when the washer part is tightened on the fitting, the second insert can be made of a polymer material, for example, with a rigidity which is approximately equal or less than the stiffness of the continuous fiber cable in the transverse direction. This means that even if loops of the fiber are completely retained inside a recessed surface of the second insert, for example, between an upper edge and a lower edge, compression of the continuous fiber cable occurs. The second patch can also be made from a more rigid material such as ceramic or light metal. In this case, the second insert is appropriately designed to allow the fiber cable to be tightened. For example, the radially outer surface may have only an upper edge to guide and retain the fiber cable.
    In certain embodiments, the concave recess in the upper surface of the base part has a line of symmetry, so that the curvature of the recess is equal on either side of the second hole. assembly. In other embodiments, the curvature may be different on either side of the second assembly hole. For example, the recess may be more curved on the first side (flange side) than on the second side. In another example, the first and second curvatures of the concave upper surface have a different center of curvature. The convex underside of the washer piece may likewise have an equal or different curvature on one or the other side of its through hole.
    The washer piece can be made of a metallic material, a ceramic material, a polymeric material or a composite polymeric material. In some embodiments, the washer piece is a separate piece. In other embodiments, the washer part is joined to the upper surface of the base part, so as to form an integral assembly.
    In one example, the washer piece is molded from a fiber reinforced polymeric material and is joined to the fitting during a baking process, after the main body of the fitting has been molded around the inserts and the cable continuous fiber. In other words, the material of the washer piece and the main body of the fitting are baked in a single process, so that the molecular chains bond between the two materials. Generally, the cooking process involves the application of heat. In other examples, the washer piece can be bonded to the fitting using an adhesive.
    The main body of the fitting can be made from a sheet prepreg (SMC), a bulk prepreg (BMC), a long fiber thermoplastic (LFT), a thermoplastic long fiber direct. Other polymer composite materials can also be used. The continuous fiber cable is a bundle of fibers, which can consist of dry fiber cables, impregnated fiber cables or impregnated composite ribbons. Examples of suitable materials for continuous fiber cables include carbon, aramid, glass and high density polyethylene (HDPE). Advantageously, different types of fibers can be incorporated inside the continuous fiber cable, depending on the properties required. For example, an aramid fiber such as Kevlar® can be chosen to provide energy absorption and security in response to shock loads. We can choose a carbon fiber with a high modulus of elasticity to reinforce rigidity. Alternatively or additionally, a high strength carbon fiber can be chosen to increase the strength and load capacity.
    As will be understood, the type of fiber is chosen, the number of fibers in the continuous fiber cable and the number of loops around the first and the second patch according to the loads of the application in question.
    In some embodiments, the fitting is essentially L-shaped. In other embodiments, the fitting is essentially T-shaped and has a central flange portion. The base part then has a first and a second section which extend from the central flange part in opposite directions, generally perpendicular. An assembly hole formed by a second hollow insert is provided in each of the first and second sections and is connected to the first hollow insert in the flange portion using a continuous fiber cable as described above.
    The flange portion of the connector may include one or more assembly holes formed by a first hollow insert having a bore axis which is normal to the assembly surface of the first component. Likewise, the base part of an L-shaped connector or the first and second sections of the base part of a T-shaped connector may comprise one or more assembly holes formed by a second hollow insert having a second bore axis which is normal with respect to the assembly surface of the second component. Each second insert having a second bore axis is connected to at least one first insert having a first bore axis using a continuous fiber cable which is wound around the radially outer surface of the inserts and which follows a curved path in the transition zone between the base and flange parts.
    The present invention further defines a method of manufacturing a fitting having a flange portion which extends in a first direction and a base portion which extends therefrom in a second direction, the flange portion having a first assembly surface and the base portion having a second assembly surface which is generally perpendicular to the first assembly surface. This process includes the steps of:
    - Place at least a first insert in a mold of suitable shape to form the fitting, this first insert having a bore with a first axis of bore which is normal with respect to the first assembly surface;
    - Place at least one second insert in the mold, this second insert having a bore with a second axis of bore which is normal with respect to the second assembly surface;
    - winding a continuous fiber cable around a part of a radially outer surface of the first and of the second insert, so as to form at least one loop; the continuous fiber extending in the first direction inside the flange part and extending in the second direction inside the base part and being guided so as to follow a curved path, when looking in a third direction, perpendicular to the first and the second direction, in a transition zone between the first and the second direction; and
    - mold a main body of the fitting around the first and second insert and the continuous fiber cable using a molding mixture.
    In another embodiment of the method, the connector is formed so as to have a concave recess in an upper surface of the base part and the method further comprises a step consisting in joining a washer piece to the upper surface of the part base, the washer part having a corresponding convex underside and a through hole aligned with the bore of the second insert
    In yet another embodiment, the convex underside of the washer piece is used during the winding step to guide the continuous fiber cable in a curved path in the transition zone.
    We can thus create a composite fitting comprising fibers aligned with the load path, without the need to drill holes. Other advantages will become apparent on reading the detailed description and the accompanying drawings.

    detailed description
    FIG. 1a shows a side view of an assembly support 100 comprising an example of a composite connector 110 according to the invention and a washer part
    120. A side view of the connector and of the washer part is shown respectively in FIGS. 1b and 1c. In use, the support 100 is adapted so as to assemble a first and a second component which are generally arranged at right angles to one another. The connector 110 has a flange part 112 which extends in a first direction x and a base part
    115, which extends in a second direction y, perpendicular to the first direction. The flange and base portions have respective first and second assembly surfaces 112s, 115s which, during use of the support 100, are in contact with corresponding assembly surfaces on the first and second components. In this example, a first assembly hole 113 is provided in the flange portion 112, which has a first hole axis 113a, perpendicular to the first assembly surface 112s. The base part is provided with two second assembly holes 116, which are separated from each other in a third direction z, which is perpendicular to the first and to the second direction. These two second holes are aligned in the second direction y, and only the location of one of these holes is shown in Figures 1a and 1c by means of dotted lines. Each second assembly hole 116 has a second hole axis 116a which is perpendicular to the second assembly surface 115s.
    The support 100 further comprises a washer piece 120, which has two through holes 123 of the same size and aligned with the second trousο assembly holes 116 in the base part of the fitting. In use, the rod of a fastener such as a bolt passes through the aligned holes 123 and 116 in the washer part and the base part of the fitting and in the second component. Suitably, an upper surface 124 of the washer piece is flat to receive the bolt head. Advantageously, a lower surface 125 of the washer part has a concave profile and fits in a corresponding concave recess in an upper surface 117 of the base part 115 of the connector. Such geometry is advantageous given the composite material of which the connection is made, which will be explained in more detail later.
    A main body of the flange and base portions of the fitting is made of a fiber reinforced molding mixture such as a long fiber thermoplastic, which can be formed in an injection molding or compression molding process. The first and second assembly holes are formed by first and second hollow inserts around which the main body of the fitting is molded. According to the invention, the connector comprises another reinforcement by fibers in the form of a continuous fiber cable 130 which is wound around a part of the external surface of the first hollow insert in the flange part 112 and each second hollow insert in the base part 115. In the transition zone 118 between the flange and base parts, where the direction of the position of the fibers changes from the first direction x to the second direction y, the continuous fiber cable 130 follows a curved path inside the connector 110. The path followed by only one section of the continuous fiber cable 130 is shown in Figure 1a, for clarity.
    The principle of the invention can be better seen in FIG. 2, which is a perspective view of another example of an assembly support 200 comprising a connector 210 according to the invention, in which the main body of the flange parts and base has been made transparent. The elements of this other example are shown individually in Figure 3.
    In this example, the flange portion 212 of the fitting has two assembly holes formed by the bore of two first inserts 213 ’, 213”, which are spaced apart from one another in the third direction z. The base part 215 of the fitting also has two assembly holes formed by the bore of two second inserts 216 ’, 216”, which are spaced apart in the third direction z. A bore axis 213a, 216a of the first and second inserts is perpendicular to the first and second assembly surfaces 212s, 215s of the connector 210 respectively (see Figure 3).
    Again, the main body of the fitting is molded using a fiber-reinforced polymer such as a bulk prepreg. Before molding, the first two 213 ', 213 ”and the second two 216', 216” inserts are placed inside a suitable mold to form the fitting 210. A continuous fiber cable 230 is wound around 'a radially outer surface 213s of one of the inserts, for example one of the first inserts
    213 ’, to then be guided in the first direction x towards what will become the base part 215 of the fitting. The fiber cable 230 is then guided in the second direction y. In a transition zone 218 between the first and second directions, the fiber cable 230 is guided in a curved path, as shown in FIG. 1a. The fiber cable 230 is then wound around a radially outer surface 216s of one of the second inserts 216 ′, then it is guided again in the second direction y towards what will become the flange part 212 of the connector, then at again in the first direction x towards the other first insert 213 "and wrapped around part of the radially outer surface 213". Again, in the transition zone 218 between the first and second directions, the fiber is guided in a curved path. This process is repeated until each first patch 213 ", 213" is connected to each second patch 216 ", 216" via at least one loop of fiber cable. Generally, the inserts are interconnected using several loops, their exact number depending on the application loads for which the fitting is designed.
    The loads on the components assembled by the connector are transferred via the connector via the assembly holes. The fiber cable 230 is thus located along the charging path, giving the connector 210 better resistance and greater rigidity where it is most needed. In addition, by guiding the fiber cable 230 in a curved path in the transition zone between the first and second directions, one can create an optimal tensile stress path along the fiber cable. The tensile stresses are thus absorbed mainly by the continuous fiber cable, which is obviously advantageous since the fibers have maximum tensile strength. The compressive stresses are absorbed mainly by the main molded body of the connector.
    The assembly support shown in FIG. 2 is also provided with a washer part 220 which has two assembly holes 223a, 223b with an axis of the holes aligned with the bore axis 216a of the two second inserts 216 ', 216 ”. In use of this support, when a fastener such as a bolt is inserted through each aligned set of holes in the washer piece and the base portion 215 of the fitting, a bottom 225 of the washer piece is pressed against an upper surface 217 of the base part, which exerts a compressive force on the fibers of the continuous fiber cable 230 inside the base part 215. This tightening of the fibers in the transverse direction improves the resistance of the connector 210 It is also advantageous to exert a clamping force on the fibers in the transition zone, which follow a curved path.
    Advantageously, the upper surface 217 of the base part of the connector 215, opposite the assembly surface 215s, has a concave profile when looking in the third direction z, the bore axis 216a of the second inserts 216 ' , 216 ”which can generally be located in a lowest region along the concave profile in the second direction y. On a first side of the base part 215, closer to the flange part 212 of the fitting, the curvature of the concave surface profile preferably corresponds to the curvature of the curved path followed by the sections of the continuous fiber cable 230 in the area of transition 218. In other words, the curved path of the continuous fiber cable 230 in the transition zone has a common center of curvature with the concave profile of the upper surface 217.
    Thus, in order to provide effective clamping of the fibers in the transition zone, the washer piece 230 has a corresponding convex lower surface 225. In another advantageous embodiment, the resistance of the connector is further improved by clamping the fibers also on a second side of the base part 215, distal with respect to the flange part 212.
    As best seen in Figure 1a, the fiber reinforcement formed by the fiber cable 130 extends in the second side of the base portion 112, beyond the second assembly holes 116 in the second direction y and extends in the first direction x away from the second assembly surface 115s, beyond an upper level of the second assembly holes, indicated by the reference number 119. Again, the continuous fiber cable 130 preferably follows a curved path on the second side of the base part 115, where the base part also has a concave profile with a corresponding curvature. The underside 125 of the washer part is correspondingly convex.
    The washer piece can have a semi-cylindrical bottom and the base part of the fitting can have a semi-cylindrical recess, as shown in the embodiments of Figures 1b and 1c, the curvature being essentially equal on each side of the axis of the second assembly hole 116a, seen in the second direction z. As a variant, as in the embodiment of FIG. 2, the curvature of the contact surfaces of the washer piece 220 and of the base part 212 of the connector can be different on either side of the common axis holes, seen in the third direction z. It is also possible to use a washer piece with a semi-circular underside, that is to say with a symmetrical curvature, in combination with the fitting of Figure 2.
    In the examples illustrated, the washer part is a single part comprising the same number of through holes as in the base part of the fitting. In other examples, the mounting bracket has a number of separate washer parts, each of which has an assembly hole. Each washer piece may have a hemispherical underside. The washer piece is also preferably a molded component made of a composite material such as a bulk prepreg, sheet prepreg, long fiber thermoplastic or other suitable material. It is also possible to use ceramic materials or light metals such as aluminum and titanium.
    In a preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the continuous fiber cable 230 is guided in a curved path using the second inserts 216 ’, 216”, which have a specially adapted geometry. One of the second inserts 216 ’is shown in perspective in FIG. 3. Advantageously, the inset 216’ has a cylindrical bore, for receiving the rod of a fixing element, as described above. The radially outer surface 216s, around which the continuous fiber cable 230 is wound, is non-cylindrical and can be formed by a groove or a recess, so that the continuous fiber cable 230 can be retained and guided along of the contour of the surface. The second patch is elongated in the second direction y, relative to the third direction z, and has a curved profile when viewed in the third direction. On the first and second side of the bore axis 216a of the second insert, the insert 216 'has a curvature which suitably corresponds to the curvature of the concave upper surface 217 of the base part 215 of the fitting on the respective first and second sides of the base part. The fiber cable 230 is thus guided in a curved path. The dimensions of each second insert are preferably such that, when the continuous fiber cable 230 is wound around the radially outer recessed surface 216s of each second insert, the fiber cable 230 extends beyond a upper level of the cylindrical bore (see line 119 in Figure 1a).
    The radially outer surface 213s of the first inserts 213 'and 213 ”in the flange portion 212 of the fitting may have a cylindrical shape and also suitably includes a groove or a recess for retaining and guiding the continuous fiber cable 230 during the winding process. The first and second inserts can be made of a metallic material, preferably a light metal such as aluminum or titanium, or can be molded from a suitable thermoplastic material.
    In the example illustrated in Figures 2 and 3, each second insert 216 ’, 216” has a radially outer surface 216s which is hollowed out with respect to the upper and lower edges of the insert. In addition, the radially outer surface (216s) of the second insert is curved away from the second assembly surface (215s) on each side of the bore axis (216a) when looking in the third direction (z). To allow the fibers in the fiber cable 230 to be clamped in the transverse direction, the second inserts are made of a polymer material with a rigidity which is less than or equal to the rigidity of the fiber cable 230 in the transverse direction. In embodiments where the second insert is made of a more rigid material, the design of the insert is modified as appropriate. For example, the 216 ’, 216” insert may have only one top rim and no bottom rim.
    In the transition zone 218 between the base part 215 and the flange part, the loops of the continuous fiber cable 230 can be partially guided by the curvature of the second inserts 216 ’, 216”. Advantageously, an additional guide element having a suitable convex surface is placed in the mold to guide the continuous fiber cable in the transition zone during the winding process. This guide element can be a temporary tool which is removed from the mold once the winding process is completed. In an advantageous embodiment, the washer piece 220 is used as the guide element, the loops of the continuous fiber cable 230 being guided on the convex underside 225 on the first side (flange side) of the washer piece.
    For example, the washer part 220 can be kept fixed in the mold so that the two through holes 223a, 223b are aligned with the bore axis 216a of the second inserts 216 ’, 216”. The continuous fiber cable 230 is then wound as described above to connect each first insert 213 ', 213 ”to each second insert 216', 216” via at least one loop, using the curvature of the second inserts and the below 225 of the washer piece to create the desired path. In a next step, the fitting is molded around the inserts and the underside of the washer piece 225 using, for example, an injection molding process.
    In yet another embodiment, the washer piece is made of a polymeric material, preferably a fiber-reinforced composite polymer such as a bulk prepreg, and is joined to the base portion of the fitting by means of a cooking process. After the base part has been molded, the baking step, which may include the application of heat, cooks the material of the main body of the fitting and the material of the washer part, so as to create a bond of the molecular chains between them. .
    We can thus form a light and robust assembly support.
    The above detailed description has been provided by way of explanation and illustration, and is not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims. Many variations in the presently preferred embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and remain within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
