Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif limiteur de longueur de file pour chariots de transport tels que chariots de maga­sins grande surface, de gares ou d'aérogare, dans lequel lesdits chariots sont logés entre deux barrières de guidage parallèles dont l'écartement est légèrement supérieur à la largeur hors tout desdits chariots.The invention relates to a device for limiting the length of the line for transport trolleys such as trolleys for large-scale stores, stations or air terminals, in which said trolleys are housed between two parallel guide barriers whose spacing is slightly greater than the overall width of said carriages.

Avec des installations de gestion de chariots de ce type, il arrive que, la longueur des barrières de guidage étant emplie de chariots, les usagers continuent à ajouter des chariots à la fin de la file, provoquant ainsi un déborde­ment de la file. Ce débordement est dangereux pour les au­tres usagers, pour l'accès aux sorties de secours et pour la circulation des véhicules lorsque la file est formée dans un garage. En outre, il provoque des détériorations des cha­riots. Dans tous les cas, ce débordement contrarie la ges­tion du parc de chariots et implique que des chariots peu­vent ne pas être disponibles sur une autre file.With trolley management systems of this type, it sometimes happens that, the length of the guide barriers being filled with trolleys, users continue to add trolleys at the end of the queue, thus causing the queue to overflow. This overflow is dangerous for other users, for access to emergency exits and for vehicle traffic when the queue is formed in a garage. In addition, it causes damage to the carriages. In all cases, this overflow adversely affects the management of the fleet of carts and implies that carts may not be available on another queue.

Pour pallier cet inconvénient, on a proposé divers systèmes de consignation de chariots liés à une barre de guidage, de sorte que la consigne ne peut être récupérée que si le chariot est ramené sur la barre, dont la capacité est limi­tée.To overcome this drawback, various lockout systems have been proposed for trolleys linked to a guide bar, so that the setpoint can only be recovered if the trolley is brought back to the bar, the capacity of which is limited.

Ces divers systèmes connus impliquent une consignation, qui n'est pas toujours souhaitée, et sont d'un prix de revient relativement élevés.These various known systems involve a deposit, which is not always desired, and are relatively expensive.

La présente invention vise à obtenir un dispositif limiteur de file sûr, solide et économique, qui ne nécessite aucune adaptation des chariots, et qui s'applique aussi bien pour des chariots munis de consigneurs que pour des chariots qui n'en comportent pas.The present invention aims to obtain a safe, solid and economical queue limiting device, which does not require any adaptation of the carriages, and which applies as well for carts provided with lockers as for carts which do not have them.

A cet effet, le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend au moins un palpeur monté sur une desdites barrières et coopérant avec une partie des cha­riots lors de leur introduction entre les barrières, ledit palpeur étant agencé de manière à interdire le passage d'un nouveau chariot lorsqu'il est en appui sur un chariot déjà introduit.To this end, the device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises at least one probe mounted on one of said barriers and cooperating with a part of the carriages during their introduction between the barriers, said probe being arranged so as to prohibit the passage of a new carriage when it is resting on an already inserted carriage.

Lorsque la file de chariots entre les barrières est pleine, le palpeur reste en appui sur le dernier chariot introduit qui ne peut pas être poussé plus en avant, et interdit l'en­trée d'un nouveau chariot.When the line of carriages between the barriers is full, the probe remains in contact with the last carriage introduced which cannot be pushed further forward, and prevents the entry of a new carriage.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, le palpeur est constitué par une extrémité d'un levier à deux bras oscillant autour d'un axe solidaire d'au moins une des barrières et étant rappelé vers l'organe du chariot avec lequel il coopère, l'autre extrémité dudit levier comportant une butée pour ledit organe. Lorsque le palpeur est en appui contre un organe du chariot, par exemple une poignée, la butée interdit le passage de l'organe du chariot suivant. Si le palpeur n'est pas en appui sur l'organe d'un chariot, la butée est effacée par le basculement du levier sous l'effet de la force de rappel.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the probe is constituted by one end of a lever with two arms oscillating around an axis integral with at least one of the barriers and being returned towards the member of the carriage with which it cooperates, the other end of said lever comprising a stop for said member. When the probe is in abutment against a member of the carriage, for example a handle, the stop prevents passage of the member of the following carriage. If the probe is not in contact with the member of a carriage, the stop is cleared by the tilting of the lever under the effect of the restoring force.

Avantageusement, l'axe et horizontal et le levier est rap­pelé par gravité grâce à la différence de masse entre ses bras. On obtient ainsi une solution extrèmement simple et robuste, évitant tout coincement.Advantageously, the axis and horizontal and the lever is returned by gravity thanks to the difference in mass between its arms. An extremely simple and robust solution is thus obtained, preventing any jamming.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la descrip­tion suivante faite en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • - la figure 1 est une vue en élévation latérale d'une in­stallation selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention et
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de l'installation de la figure 1.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description made with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation view of an installation according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention and
  • Figure 2 is a top view of the installation of Figure 1.

L'installation comprend deux barrières parallèles 1 dont une extrémité est fermée par une cloison frontale 2 et entre lesquelles peuvent être logés des chariots 3 qui, dans l'exemple représenté, peuvent être encastrés successivement les uns dans les autres pour réduire l'encombrement en lon­gueur. Les barrières 1 et 2 sont portées par des poteaux 4.The installation comprises two parallel barriers 1, one end of which is closed by a front partition 2 and between which can be housed carriages 3 which, in the example shown, can be successively embedded in one another to reduce the space requirement. length. The barriers 1 and 2 are carried by posts 4.

L'un des poteaux 4 porte le dispositif limiteur 5 selon l'invention, qui est ainsi solidaire d'une barrière 1. Le dispositif 5 comprend un carter protecteur 6, solidaire du poteau 4, permettant le passage au-dessous de la poignée 7 d'un chariot 3. Le carter 6 contient un levier 8 articulé autour d'un axe horizontal 9. Le levier 8 comprend une bran­che antérieure 10 dont la face inférieure comporte un bos­sage ou came 11 qui entre en contact avec la poignée 7 d'un chariot 3 lors de l'entrée de ce chariot entre les barrières 1. Le levier 8 comporte en outre une branche postérieure 12 dont la face inférieure forme une butée 13. Les masses respectives des bras 10 et 12 sont telles que le levier 8 est normalement rappelé par gravité dans le sens des aiguil­les d'une montre (sur la figure 1).One of the posts 4 carries the limiting device 5 according to the invention, which is thus secured to a barrier 1. The device 5 comprises a protective casing 6, secured to the post 4, allowing passage below the handle 7 of a carriage 3. The casing 6 contains a lever 8 articulated around a horizontal axis 9. The lever 8 comprises an anterior branch 10, the lower face of which comprises a boss or cam 11 which comes into contact with the handle 7 of a carriage 3 during the entry of this carriage between the barriers 1. The lever 8 further comprises a rear branch 12 whose lower face forms a stop 13. The respective masses of the arms 10 and 12 are such that the lever 8 is normally recalled by gravity clockwise (in Figure 1).

Lorsque la file n'est pas complète, la poignée 7 du dernier chariot 3 introduit ne coopère pas avec le palpeur 11 ou bien, si cette poignée 7 est en contact avec le palpeur 11 il est possible de repousser ce dernier chariot 3 vers l'in­térieur en resserrant la file. Le levier 8 est basculé par gravité dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre et la butée 13 est effacée vers le haut, ce qui permet le passage de la poignée 7 d'un chariot 3 supplémentaire.When the line is not complete, the handle 7 of the last carriage 3 introduced does not cooperate with the probe 11 or else, if this handle 7 is in contact with the probe 11 it is possible to push the latter carriage 3 towards the interior by tightening the line. The lever 8 is tilted by gravity in a clockwise direction and the stop 13 is erased upwards, which allows the passage of the handle 7 of an additional carriage 3.

Au contraire, si la file est complète, comme représenté au dessin, le levier 8 est maintenu, contre la force de gravi­té, par le contact entre le palpeur 11 et la poignée 7. La butée 13 est alors sur la trajectoire d'une poignée 7' d'un nouveau chariot (non représenté) qu'un utilisateur voudrait introduire, et ce chariot ne peut pas pénétrer complètement entre les barrières 1 et 2.On the contrary, if the line is complete, as shown in the drawing, the lever 8 is held, against the force of gravity, by the contact between the feeler 11 and the handle 7. The stop 13 is then in the path of a handle 7 'of a new carriage (not shown) that a user would like to introduce, and this carriage cannot completely penetrate between the barriers 1 and 2.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement effica­ce lorsque les chariots 3 sont munis de systèmes de consigne de type connus nécessitant un encastrement complet d'un cha­riot à l'extrémité d'une file pour récupérer la consigne. En effet, dans le cas d'une file complète, cette récupérati­on n'est pas possible. Cependant, le dispositif de l'inven­tion s'applique aussi aux chariots non équipés de systèmes de consigne puisque l'utilisateur (ou du personnel spécia­lisé) est censé faire l'effort de ramener le chariot entre les barrières 1.The device according to the invention is particularly effective when the carriages 3 are provided with deposit systems of known type requiring complete embedding of a carriage at the end of a file to recover the deposit. Indeed, in the case of a complete queue, this recovery is not possible. However, the device of the invention also applies to carts not equipped with deposit systems since the user (or specialized personnel) is supposed to make the effort to bring the car back between the barriers 1.

Le palpeur 13 peut être prévu pour coopérer avec une partie du chariot 3 autre que la poignée 7, par exemple avec une partie du chassis, une chape de roue, une pièce rapportée spéciale sur le chariot, etc. Selon le cas, l'axe de pivote­ment du levier pourra être vertical.The probe 13 can be provided to cooperate with a part of the carriage 3 other than the handle 7, for example with a part of the chassis, a wheel yoke, a special insert on the carriage, etc. Depending on the case, the pivot axis of the lever may be vertical.

Le palpeur 13 ne s'oppose pas à la sortie des chariots 3 qui repoussent le palpeur 11 contre la force de rappel du levier 8.The probe 13 does not oppose the exit of the carriages 3 which push the probe 11 against the return force of the lever 8.
