Description

Title of the invention: Device and method for manufacturing a wooden frame for a timber-framed wall

[0001] The present invention relates to a device and a method for manufacturing a wooden frame for a timber frame wall and to an assembly comprising such a wooden frame and such a manufacturing device.

[0002] This invention relates to the field of building and, more particularly, to the field of factory manufacturing of prefabricated walls.

[0003] This invention will find a particularly suitable application when it comes to manufacturing a wooden frame intended to be part of the composition of a timber frame wall.

[0004] Devices for manufacturing a wooden frame and processes for manufacturing such a wooden frame are already known, particularly those implemented through such devices.

[0005] Such manufacturing devices comprise a machining center configured to mill at least one groove in a rail of a wooden frame. More specifically, a free end of a stud of the wooden frame is fitted into such a groove for the purpose of positioning the stud relative to the rail. These manufacturing devices also comprise holding means (in particular in the form of a clamp or similar device) configured to hold the stud fitted into the groove of the rail, at least during an operation to immobilize the rail relative to the stud, in particular by nailing or screwing.

[0006] These manufacturing devices therefore include a complex and expensive machining center, which significantly increases the cost of such a manufacturing device and, consequently, the cost of manufacturing the timber frame. Furthermore, machining the plate, on the one hand, represents an additional step in the manufacturing process and, therefore, extends the manufacturing time of the timber frame; on the other hand, it results in a loss of material from the plate, which necessitates, initially, using a larger plate to compensate for this material loss; and, finally, it generates wood waste that must be processed.

[0007] The present invention aims to remedy, at least in part, the drawbacks of devices and methods for manufacturing a wooden frame in the prior art.

[0008] To this end, the invention relates to a device for manufacturing a wooden frame for a timber-framed wall, comprising at least one wooden plate and at least one wooden stud. This manufacturing device comprises, on the one hand, a metal plate, and on the other hand, at least one first set of magnetic wedges configured to cooperate with the metal plate and with at least one plate of the wooden frame, in order to wedge said at least one plate relative to the metal plate, and, on the other hand, at least one second set of magnetic wedges configured to cooperate with the metal plate and with at least one stud of the wooden frame, in order to wedge said at least one stud relative to the metal plate.

[0009] Another feature relates to the fact that said at least a first set of magnetic wedges comprises at least one pair of magnetic wedges and that the magnetic wedges of said at least one pair of magnetic wedges are configured to be positioned on either side of said at least one rail comprising the wooden frame. Additionally, said at least a second set of magnetic wedges comprises at least one pair of magnetic wedges and the magnetic wedges of said at least one pair of magnetic wedges are configured to be positioned on either side of said at least one stud comprising the wooden frame.

[0010] Yet another characteristic relates to the fact that the magnetic wedges comprise, on the one hand, a chassis which is configured to rest on the metal plate, on the other hand, at least one magnet which is movable relative to the chassis, this between a retracted position inside the chassis and a deployed position outside the chassis and, on the other hand, at least one means of controlling the passage of said at least one magnet from the retracted position to the deployed position.

[0011] According to an additional feature, the manufacturing device includes projection means which are configured to project, onto the metal plate, a representation of at least a part of the wooden frame to be manufactured.

[0012] Yet another characteristic relates to the fact that the metal plate consists of a base which includes a mold for the manufacture of a prefabricated wall in a hardenable material.

[0013] The invention also relates to an assembly comprising, on the one hand, a wooden frame for a timber-framed wall, comprising at least one plate, at least one stud, and assembly means configured for joining said at least one plate and said at least one stud, and, on the other hand, a device for manufacturing such a wooden frame for a timber-framed wall. This manufacturing device has the characteristics described above.

[0014] The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a timber frame for a timber-framed wall. This manufacturing method is implemented by via the manufacturing device described above, and comprises, on the one hand, a positioning step which consists of positioning at least one rail and at least one upright of a wooden frame on the metal plate, on the other hand, an implantation step which consists of implanting said at least one first set of magnetic wedges as well as said at least one second set of magnetic wedges on the metal plate and, on the other hand, a shimming step which consists of shimming said at least one rail and said at least one upright in relation to the metal plate, this by means of said at least one first set of magnetic wedges as well as said at least one second set of magnetic wedges and, on the other hand also, an assembly step which consists of assembling said at least one rail and said at least one upright by means of assembly means.

[0015] Thus, the invention relates to a device for manufacturing a wooden frame. This device comprises a metal plate and magnetic wedges configured to cooperate, on the one hand, with this metal plate and, on the other hand, with, as appropriate, a rail or stud of a timber frame. These wedges then advantageously allow for the positioning and securing of such a stud relative to such a rail.The use of such shims makes it possible to avoid at least one milling operation in such a rail, which advantageously allows, on the one hand, the avoidance of resorting to a complex and expensive machining center and the use of only a simple cutting machine (such as a radial arm saw or similar) to cut the rails and uprights, on the other hand, saving material at the level of the rail and considering the use of rails of reduced dimensions but which still have the required mechanical characteristics, on the other hand, reducing the manufacturing time of a timber frame, as well as reducing the costs of the manufacturing device and the manufacturing costs of the timber frame made using such a device, on the other hand also reducing waste by eliminating machining waste and, finally, simplifying the manufacture of such a timber frame.

[0016] These wedges also allow a post to be positioned and held in relation to a rail, so that such a post and such a rail form an angle, which can be any angle (and, therefore, may not be right), and which corresponds exactly to the angle that such a post must form with such a rail within the wooden frame.

[0017] Furthermore, and unlike prior art assembly tables which have a preferred orientation for mounting the rails (more specifically parallel to a long side of such an assembly table), the manufacturing device according to the invention allows for completely free positioning of such a rail, according to the needs, according to what is most practical. or the easiest for manufacturing, without the orientation being a determining factor. This manufacturing device then makes it easier to produce a timber frame.

[0018] Also advantageously, the manufacturing device makes it possible to position and hold at least one rail and at least one upright appropriately even if such a rail and / or upright has a defect, in particular a defect of straightness (twisted rail or upright).

[0019] Finally, the presence of magnetic wedges advantageously allows for the retention, holding, fixing or reception (particularly on a temporary basis) of accessories (particularly fixing) or equipment (particularly holding).

[0020] Another advantage is that the metal plate consists of a base which includes a mold for the manufacture of a prefabricated wall in a hardenable material which advantageously allows the use of a manufacturing installation for such a prefabricated wall which is available to a manufacturer of prefabricated walls, this for the manufacture of a wooden frame.

[0021] The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a wooden frame. This manufacturing method comprises a step of installing at least a first set of magnetic wedges and at least a second set of magnetic wedges onto the metal plate and, furthermore, a step of aligning at least one rail and at least one stud with respect to the metal plate, this by means of at least a first set of magnetic wedges and at least a second set of magnetic wedges. The installation step and / or the alignment step can advantageously be carried out automatically, in particular by means of a robot.

[0022] Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent during the following description relating to embodiments which are given only by way of indicative and non-limiting examples.

[0023] Understanding this description will be facilitated by referring to the drawings attached in the appendix, in which:

[0024] [Fig.1] represents a schematic and perspective view of an assembly, which is in accordance with the invention, and which comprises a wooden frame as well as a device for manufacturing such a wooden frame which is also in accordance with the invention.

[0025] [Fig.2] represents a schematic and perspective view of a magnetic wedge comprising a set of magnetic wedges comprising the device for manufacturing a wooden frame according to the invention, this in an inactive position of cooperation of the magnet of such a magnetic wedge with the metal plate of the manufacturing device.

[0026] [Fig.3] is a view similar to [Fig.2] and represents the magnetic wedge, which is illustrated [Fig.2], and which comprises a set of magnetic wedges which comprise the device for manufacturing a wooden frame according to the invention, this in an active position of cooperation of the magnet of such a magnetic wedge with the metal plate of the manufacturing device.

[0027] With reference to the figures in the attached drawings, the present invention relates, then, to a device for manufacturing a wooden frame 1 which is for a timber frame wall.

[0028] Such a wooden frame 1 comprises, on the one hand, at least one rail 2 (or, preferably, a plurality of rails 2), which is made of wood, and which has at least one longitudinal side 20 which has at least one portion which has a flat surface. Such a rail 2 extends along an axis, or even along a plane.

[0029] On the other hand, said wooden frame 1 comprises at least one upright 3 (or, preferably, a plurality of uprights 3), which is made of wood, and which has at least one free end 30. Such an upright 3 extends along an axis, or even along a plane.

[0030] Furthermore, said wooden frame 1 includes assembly means 4, which are configured to assemble said at least one rail 2 and said at least one upright 3, and which can take the form of at least one nail and / or at least one screw.

[0031] The invention relates, then, to a device for manufacturing 5 such a wooden frame 1.

[0032] On the one hand, this manufacturing device 5 comprises a metal plate 6 which extends, preferably, along a plane, in particular horizontal.

[0033] On the other hand, this manufacturing device 5 also includes at least a first set 7 of magnetic wedges (8; 8') which is configured to cooperate with the metal plate 6 as well as with at least one rail 2 which comprises the wooden frame 1, in order to wedge said at least one rail 2 with respect to the metal plate 6.

[0034] In this regard, it will be observed that said at least a first set 7 of magnetic wedges (8; 8') comprises at least one pair (or, and preferably, a plurality of pairs) of magnetic wedges (8; 8') and that the magnetic wedges (8; 8') of said at least one pair of magnetic wedges (8; 8') of said at least a first set (7) of magnetic wedges (8; 8') are configured to be positioned on either side of said at least one rail 2 which comprises the wooden frame 1, more particularly in contact with said at least one rail 2.

[0035] Furthermore, this manufacturing device 5 also includes at least a second set 9 of magnetic wedges (10; 10') which is configured to cooperate with the metal plate 6 as well as with at least one upright 3 comprising the wooden frame 1, this in order to wedge said at least one upright 3 in relation to the metal plate 6.

[0036] In this regard, it will be observed that said at least a second set 9 of magnetic wedges (10; 10') comprises at least one pair (or, preferably, a plurality of pairs) of magnetic wedges (10; 10') and that the magnetic wedges (10; 10') of said at least one pair of magnetic wedges (10; 10') of said at least a second set (9) of magnetic wedges (10; 10') are configured to be positioned on either side of said at least one upright 3 which comprises the wooden frame 1, more particularly in contact with said at least one upright 3.

[0037] According to another feature, the magnetic wedges (8; 8'; 10; 10') each comprise at least one magnetic pad, at least one magnetic bar, or the like. In fact, such magnetic wedges (8; 8'; 10; 10') can, therefore, each consist of at least one such magnetic pad, at least one such magnetic bar, or the like.

[0038] According to another embodiment, the magnetic wedges (8; 8'; 10; 10') may include, on the one hand, a frame 11 which is configured to rest (more particularly at least temporarily) on the metal plate 6 and to bear against a rail 2 or a post 3, more particularly laterally with respect to such a rail 2 or such a post 3. Such a frame 11 may be made up of a profile which has a "U" shape and which then has a base and two walls (in particular parallel), which extend from the base, which can bear against a rail 2 or a post 3, and whose free end can rest on the metal plate 6.

[0039] On the other hand, the magnetic wedges (8; 8', 10; 10') can include at least one magnet 12 (or even a plurality of magnets 12) which is movable relative to the chassis 11, this between a retracted position inside the chassis 11 (which corresponds to an inactive position of cooperation of such a magnet 12 with the metal plate 6) and a deployed position outside the chassis 11 (which corresponds to an active position of cooperation of such a magnet 12 with the metal plate 6).

[0040] Such a magnet 12 can, again, take the form of a magnetic pad, a magnetic bar or the like.

[0041] Furthermore, the magnetic wedges (8; 8'; 10; 10') may include at least one control means 13 for moving said at least one magnet 12 from the retracted position to the deployed position.

[0042] In this regard, it will be observed that such a control means 13 can, then, pass through the chassis 11 (more particularly the bottom of this chassis 11), cooperate with said magnet 12 (this inside the chassis 11), extend outside the chassis 11, and include, outside the chassis 11, an actuation member 14 which is configured to be actuated in particular manually.

[0043] Such a control means 13 is movable in translation relative to the chassis 11, more particularly through the bottom of this chassis 11.

[0044] According to another feature, the magnetic wedges (8; 8'; 10; 10') may each include at least one return means 15 (more particularly in the form of a spring interposed between the bottom of the chassis 11 and, as the case may be, the actuating member or the magnet 12) which is configured to control the passage of said at least one magnet 12 from the deployed position to the retracted position, more particularly after its removal from the metal plate 6.

[0045] Finally, the magnetic wedges (8, 8'; 10, 10') may include at least one gripping means which allows such a magnetic wedge (8, 8'; 10, 10') to be grasped (more particularly manually or by means of a tool, in particular robotic), in order to position it on the metal plate 6 or to remove it from this metal plate 6. Such a gripping means may take the form of a lever (in particular actuable manually) or of a gripping pad (in particular actuable by means of a tool).

[0046] An additional feature relates to the fact that the manufacturing device 5 includes tilting means configured to position and hold said at least one purlin 2 inclined relative to the metal plate 6, such that the plane along which said at least one purlin 2 extends forms an acute angle with the plane along which the metal plate 6 extends. Advantageously, such tilting means allow such a purlin 2 to be positioned and held at an angle relative to a stud 3, particularly in the context of manufacturing a timber frame 1 that includes a roof box.

[0047] In this regard, it will be noted that the tilting means comprise a metallic element, which is configured to be attracted (more particularly by magnetic force) by at least one of the magnetic wedges (8, 8'; 10, 10'), and which comprises, on the one hand, a first wing extending along a first plane and configured to rest on the metal plate 6 and, on the other hand, at least a second wing extending from the first wing along a second plane forming an acute or obtuse angle with the first plane along which the first wing extends, and configured to bear against said at least one stringer 2. Additionally, such a metallic element may further comprise a third wing, parallel to the second wing, extending from the first wing, and which, together with the first and second wings, forms a housing for receiving said at least one stringer 2.Such a metallic element can take the form of a metal profile, a bent sheet metal piece, or something similar.

[0048] Yet another characteristic relates to the fact that the device for manufacturing a wooden frame 1 5 includes projection means (in particular in the form of of a laser beam) which are configured to project, onto the metal plate 6, a representation (more particularly the silhouette or image) of at least a part of the wooden frame 1 to be manufactured and / or a representation of the sets (7; 9) of magnetic wedges (8, 8'; 10, 10') and / or an indication of the position of these sets (7; 9) of magnetic wedges (8, 8'; 10, 10'). The presence of these projection means facilitates the installation of said at least one rail 2 and / or said at least one upright 3 as well as the positioning of the sets (7; 9) of magnetic wedges (8, 8'; 10, 10').

[0049] A particular embodiment consists in the metal plate 6 being made up of a base which includes a mold for the manufacture of a prefabricated wall in a hardenable material (more particularly in a hydraulic material, in particular concrete).

[0050] The invention also relates to an assembly 16 comprising, on the one hand, a wooden frame 1, which is for a timber frame wall, and which includes at least one rail 2, at least one stud 3 and assembly means 4 which are configured to assemble said at least one rail 2 and said at least one stud 3.

[0051] On the other hand, such an assembly 16 includes a manufacturing device 5 for such a wooden frame 1 for a timber frame wall, such a manufacturing device 5 has at least some of the characteristics described above.

[0052] In such an assembly 16, said at least a first assembly 7 of magnetic wedges (8; 8') comprises at least one pair (or, preferably, a plurality of pairs) of magnetic wedges (8; 8') while the magnetic wedges (8; 8') of said at least one pair of magnetic wedges (8; 8') of said at least a first assembly 7 of magnetic wedges (8; 8') are positioned on either side of said rail 2 which comprises the wooden frame 1, more particularly in contact with said at least one rail 2.

[0053] Additionally, in this assembly 16, said at least a second assembly 9 of magnetic wedges (10; 10') comprises at least one pair (or, preferably, a plurality of pairs) of magnetic wedges (10; 10') while the magnetic wedges (10; 10') of said at least one pair of magnetic wedges (10; 10') of said at least a second assembly 9 of magnetic wedges (10; 10') are positioned on either side of said upright 3 which comprises the wooden frame 1 more particularly applied against said at least one upright 3.

[0054] As mentioned above, said at least one rail 2 has at least one longitudinal side 20 which includes at least one portion which has a flat surface while said at least one upright 3 has at least one free end 30.

[0055] According to another feature, in said assembly 16, said at least one free end 30 of said at least one upright 3 is applied against said at least one portion, which comprises said at least one longitudinal side 20 of said at least one smooth 2, and which presents the flat surface.

[0056] Yet another feature relates to the fact that said at least one free end 30 of said at least one upright 3 is held in contact against the flat face of said at least one longitudinal side 20 of said at least one rail 2, this by means of said at least one first set 7 of magnetic wedges (8; 8') and said at least one second set 9 of magnetic wedges (10; 10').

[0057] In this regard, it will be noted that such a surface-mounted support is ensured at least pending the assembly of said at least one rail 2 with said at least one upright 3 by means of the assembly means 4.

[0058] The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a wooden frame 1 for a timber frame wall.

[0059] This manufacturing process is implemented via the manufacturing device 5 which has the characteristics described above.

[0060] This manufacturing process includes a positioning step which consists of positioning at least one rail 2 and at least one upright 3 which comprise a wooden frame 1 on the metal plate 6 of the manufacturing device 5.

[0061] This manufacturing process also includes an implantation step which consists of implanting said at least a first set 7 of magnetic wedges (8; 8') as well as said at least a second set 9 of magnetic wedges (10; 10') on the metal plate 6.

[0062] This manufacturing process also includes a shimming step which consists of shimming said at least one rail 2 and said at least one upright 3 in relation to the metal plate 6, this by means of said at least one first set 7 of magnetic shims (8; 8') as well as said at least one second set 9 of magnetic shims (10; 10').

[0063] In this regard, it will be observed that, during the said implantation step and / or during the shimming step, the magnetic shims (8, 8' ; 10, 10') of said at least a first set 7 of magnetic shims (8 ; 8') as well as of said at least a second set 9 of magnetic shims (10 ; 10') cooperate with the metal plate 6.

[0064] This manufacturing process also includes an assembly step which consists of assembling said at least one rail 2 and said at least one upright 3, this by means of assembly means 4, more particularly by means of the assembly means 4 mentioned above.

[0065] It will be noted that this assembly step is carried out after said at least one rail 2 and said at least one upright 3 have been wedged during the shimming step and while said at least one rail 2 and said at least one upright 3 remain wedged, this by the intermediary of said at least a first set 7 of magnetic wedges (8; 8') as well as of said at least a second set 9 of magnetic wedges (10; 10').

[0066] After the assembly step, said at least a first set 7 of magnetic wedges (8; 8') and said at least a second set 9 of magnetic wedges (10; 10') are removed from the metal plate 6.

[0067] The method for manufacturing a wooden frame 1 may also include, at least prior to the positioning step (or even at least during this positioning step), a projection step which consists of projecting, onto the metal plate 6 of the manufacturing device 5, a representation (more particularly the silhouette or image) of at least a part of the wooden frame 1 to be manufactured and / or a representation of the sets (7; 9) of magnetic wedges (8,8'; 10, 10') and / or an indication of the position of these sets (7; 9) of magnetic wedges (8,8'; 10, 10').
