Description

On connaît, notamment par le brevet suisse CH 576 392 des bobinoirs et des dévidoirs de type portique susceptibles de recevoir des bobines de grandes dimensions. Ces bobines de grandes dimensions supportent par exemple des câbles électriques et du fait de leur poids et de leur encombrement, leur chargement et leur déchargement présentent des difficultés. Les bobines sont en effet des objets pouvant peser plusieurs tonnes et dont les joues mesurent dans certains cas plusieurs mètres de diamètre. Dans la plupart des cas, les supports de bobines sont mobiles verticalement sur les montants du portique, de sorte que les tourillons peuvent être amenés au niveau de l'axis de la bobine lorsque celle-ci a été placée entre les montants, ce qui permet de saisir la bobine et de la soulever pour l'amener en position de dévidage ou de bobinage. Toutefois, l'engagement des tourillons des supports de bobine dans les logements d'axe que présentent les joues des bobines peut être entravé si l'axe de la bobine n'est pas parfaitement aligné sur l'axe des tourillons.Known, in particular by Swiss patent CH 576 392, winders and gantry type reels capable of receiving coils of large dimensions. These coils of large dimensions support for example electric cables and because of their weight and their bulk, their loading and unloading present difficulties. Coils are indeed objects that can weigh several tonnes and whose cheeks in some cases measure several meters in diameter. In most cases, the coil supports are movable vertically on the amounts of the gantry, so that the pins can be brought to the axis of the coil when it has been placed between the amounts, which allows grasp the spool and lift it to bring it to the unwinding or winding position. However, the engagement of the spindles of the reel supports in the axis housings which have the cheeks of the spools can be hampered if the axis of the spool is not perfectly aligned with the axis of the trunnions.

On a déjà prévu d'équiper des bobinoirs de ce genre de dispositifs spéciaux facilitant la mise en place des bobines qui dans la plupart des cas sont amenées au moyen d'un engin de transport comportant deux bras de support ayant une longueur suffisante pour que les deux joues de la bobine reposent de façon équilibrée sur ces bras. Le brevet allemand DE 508 677 par exemple prévoit des barres de support parallèles et fixes qui centrent automatiquement les bobines avant qu'elles soient soulevées pour pouvoir être saisies par les tourillons des supports de bobine.It has already been planned to equip winders with this kind of special devices facilitating the positioning of the reels which in most cases are brought by means of a transport vehicle comprising two support arms having a sufficient length so that the two cheeks of the reel rest in a balanced way on these arms. German patent DE 508 677 for example provides parallel and fixed support bars which automatically center the reels before they are lifted so that they can be gripped by the pins of the reel supports.

Toutefois, ce dispositif connu ne résout pas tous les problèmes qui se posent et en particulier il nécessite des travaux d'excavation dans le sol du local où le bobinoir est installé, ce qui est un inconvénient en ce qui concerne l'agencement général d'une câblerie.However, this known device does not solve all the problems which arise and in particular it requires excavation work in the floor of the room where the winder is installed, which is a drawback with regard to the general arrangement of a cable.

Le but de la présente invention est donc de proposer une solution plus simple et plus pratique que les dispositifs déjà connus aux problèmes évoqués ci-dessus.The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a simpler and more practical solution than the devices already known to the problems mentioned above.

Dans ce but, l'objet de la présente invention est un dispositif de chargement ou de déchargement d'une bobine sur un bobinoir, caractérisé par un chariot sur lequel sont montées deux paires d'éléments porteurs alignés selon deux axes horizontaux parallèles de manière à pouvoir supporter une bobine reposant par ses joues sur les dits éléments porteurs, par des moyens de guidage du chariot capables de lui imposer un déplacement dans une direction perpendiculaire aux dits axes et par des moyens d'entraînement capables de déplacer le chariot entre une position de dégagement et une position de chargement ou de déchargement.For this purpose, the object of the present invention is a device for loading or unloading a reel on a winder, characterized by a carriage on which are mounted two pairs of carrier elements aligned along two parallel horizontal axes so as to be able to support a coil resting on its cheeks on said load-bearing elements, by means of guide of the carriage capable of imposing a displacement in a direction perpendicular to said axes and by drive means capable of moving the carriage between a position clearance and a loading or unloading position.

Pour montrer comment l'invention peut être réalisée pratiquement on va décrire ci-après à titre d'exemple une forme d'exécution du dispositif selon l'invention en se référant au dessin annexé, dont:

  • la fig. 1 est une vue en perspective schématique montrant un bobinoir portique et les éléments essentiels du dispositif selon l'invention,
  • la fig. 2 est une vue en plan de dessus également schématique montrant l'agencement complet du dispositif de part et d'autre du bobinoir portique,
  • la fig. 3 est une vue élévation du dispositif,
  • la fig. 4 est une vue en élévation partielle à échelle agrandie montrant un chariot supportant une bobine, et
  • la fig. 5 une vue en plan de dessus également à échelle agrandie montrant la constitution du chariot.
To show how the invention can be implemented in practice, an embodiment of the device according to the invention will be described below by way of example with reference to the appended drawing, of which:
  • fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a gantry winder and the essential elements of the device according to the invention,
  • fig. 2 is a plan view, also schematic, showing the complete arrangement of the device on either side of the gantry winder,
  • fig. 3 is an elevation view of the device,
  • fig. 4 is a partial elevation view on an enlarged scale showing a carriage supporting a coil, and
  • fig. 5 a top plan view also on an enlarged scale showing the constitution of the carriage.

De façon générale, la forme d'éxecution décrite ci-après concerne un dispositif de chargement et de déchargement à deux chariots, alors que, en variante, un dispositif simple peut également être envisagé. On voit à la fig. 1 un bobinoir portique de grandes dimensions désigné de façon générale par 1 et qui comprend deux montants 2 et 3 reliés par une traverse supérieure 4. Les montants se déplacent sur des rails parallèles 5 et 6 afin de pouvoir s'écarter ou se rapprocher l'un de l'autre. Une bobine 7 est supportée sur des tourillons 8 et 9 qui sont montés dans des dispositifs de support 10 et 11 mobiles verticalement sur les montants 2 et 3. L'ensemble du bobinoir repose sur un sol uni et plat dans lequel les rails de guidage 5 et 6 ont été noyés.In general, the form of execution described below relates to a loading and unloading device with two carriages, while, as a variant, a simple device can also be envisaged. We see in fig. 1 a large gantry winder generally designated by 1 and which comprises two uprights 2 and 3 connected by an upper cross member 4. The uprights move on parallel rails 5 and 6 in order to be able to move away or get closer to the one of the other. A reel 7 is supported on pins 8 and 9 which are mounted in support devices 10 and 11 movable vertically on the uprights 2 and 3. The whole of the winder rests on a flat and level ground in which the guide rails 5 and 6 were drowned.

Le dispositif de chargement et de déchargement proprement dit est conçu de façon à utiliser le sol de l'usine sans nécessiter d'autre aménagements et en particulier sans nécessiter l'installation de rails supplémentaires. Il comporte essentiellement un chariot 20 qui est lié à un axe de pivotement 12 par un bras rigide 13. Comme on le verra plus loin, ce chariot est supporté par des galets. Il peut être entraîné par un moteur et du fait qu'il est lié par le bras 13 à l'axe de pivotement 12, il va se déplacer en arc de cercle selon la flèche 14. Pour faciliter l'installation, l'axe de pivotement 12 est constitué par un tourillon fixe solidaire de l'extrémité d'une barre plate horizontale 15 qui s'étend au-dessus du sol perpendiculai rement à la direction des rails 5 et 6. La barre 15 est fixée à un socle 16. Comme les montants 2 et 3 sont montés sur des embases 2a et 3a susceptibles de passer sous la barre 15, la disposition adoptée ne gène absolument pas les différents éléments du portique 1.The actual loading and unloading device is designed to use the factory floor without requiring any other adjustments and in particular without requiring the installation of additional rails. It essentially comprises a carriage 20 which is linked to a pivot axis 12 by a rigid arm 13. As will be seen below, this carriage is supported by rollers. It can be driven by a motor and because it is linked by the arm 13 to the pivot axis 12, it will move in an arc according to the arrow 14. To facilitate installation, the axis of pivot 12 is constituted by a fixed pin fixed to the end of a horizontal flat bar 15 which extends above the ground perpendicular to the Rement to the direction of the rails 5 and 6. The bar 15 is fixed to a base 16. As the uprights 2 and 3 are mounted on bases 2a and 3a capable of passing under the bar 15, the arrangement adopted does not interfere absolutely different elements of the gantry 1.

Les éléments décrits ci-dessus sont visible également à la fig. 2 où on voit le chariot 20 portant la bobine 7 placée en position de chargement de sorte que les logements prévus au centre des joues de la bobine 7 se trouvent dans l'axe des tourillons 8 et 9 des support de bobine 10 et 11. A cette figure on voit que, lorsque le chariot 20 se trouve en position de dégagement tel qu'il est représenté en traits mixtes à cette figure, il est accessible pour un engin de transport comportant une fourche de support formée de deux bras horizontaux parallèles suffisamment écartés pour passer de part et d'autre du chariot 20 dans le sens des flèches 17 et 18. D'autre part, comme on le voit à la fig. 3, le chariot est suffisamment bas pour que la bobine 7 puisse être soulevée afin que ses joues passent au-dessus du chariot.The elements described above are also visible in FIG. 2 where we see the carriage 20 carrying the coil 7 placed in the loading position so that the housings provided in the center of the cheeks of the coil 7 are located in the axis of the pins 8 and 9 of the coil support 10 and 11. A this figure we see that, when the carriage 20 is in the release position as shown in phantom in this figure, it is accessible for a transport vehicle comprising a support fork formed of two parallel horizontal arms sufficiently spaced to pass on either side of the carriage 20 in the direction of the arrows 17 and 18. On the other hand, as seen in FIG. 3, the carriage is low enough that the coil 7 can be lifted so that its cheeks pass over the carriage.

A la fig. 2, le chariot 20 lié à son bras 13 pivotant sur le tourillon 12 est représenté en position de chargement, ou position d'engagement. Cependant, un second chariot 40, lié à un bras 33 pivotant autour d'un tourillon 32 supporté par une barre plate 35 solidaire d'un support 36 est disposé dans une situation symétrique à celle du chariot 20, de sorte que, lorsque ce dernier se trouve dans la position de dégagement représentée à droite en bas à la fig. 2, le chariot 40 peut être amené en position de chargement après avoir reçu une bobine amenée au moyen d'un engin de transport se déplaçant selon les flèches 37 et 38.In fig. 2, the carriage 20 linked to its arm 13 pivoting on the pin 12 is shown in the loading position, or engagement position. However, a second carriage 40, linked to an arm 33 pivoting around a pin 32 supported by a flat bar 35 secured to a support 36 is arranged in a situation symmetrical to that of the carriage 20, so that, when the latter is in the release position shown at the bottom right in fig. 2, the carriage 40 can be brought into the loading position after having received a reel brought in by means of a transport unit moving according to arrows 37 and 38.

A la fig. 3, on voit schématiquement représenté comment les joues de la bobine 7 sont supportées sur le chariot 20. Ce dernier comporte quatre galets 21 dont les axes sont orientés horizontalement en direction du tourillon de pivotement 12. Au-dessus du châssis de ce chariot sont montés des bras 22, 23, 24, 25 dont trois sont mobiles axialement de façon à s'adapter à la longueur axiale de la bobine à transporter. Ces bras constituent les éléments porteurs du chariot 20.In fig. 3, we see schematically shown how the cheeks of the coil 7 are supported on the carriage 20. The latter comprises four rollers 21 whose axes are oriented horizontally in the direction of the pivot pin 12. Above the chassis of this carriage are mounted arms 22, 23, 24, 25, three of which are axially movable so as to adapt to the axial length of the coil to be transported. These arms constitute the carrying elements of the carriage 20.

La construction du chariot proprement dit 20 est représentée plus en détail aux fig. 4 et 5. Les deux bras 22 et 23 sont symétriques par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du chariot 20. Ils sont constitués par des segments de tubes cylindriques qui coulissent dans des supports fixes 26 et 27 présentant un alésage cylindrique ajusté au diamètre extérieur des bras 22 et 23. Ces cylindres de guidage sont fixés sur le plateau supérieur du chariot. Le bras de support 24 comporte un arbre 28 guidé par un palier fixe 29. A une extrémité, il présenté un élargissement 30 qui coulisse à l'intérieur de l'alésage du bras 23, alors qu'à l'autre extrémité l'arbre 28 comporte une partie cylindrique 34 de même diamètre que le bras 23 et qui est destiné à supporter une joue de la bobine 7. Parallèlement à ce bras 24, le bras 25 est supporté à ses deux extrémités par des flasques 31 qui sont solidaires du chariot et du bras 13.The construction of the carriage itself 20 is shown in more detail in FIGS. 4 and 5. The two arms 22 and 23 are symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis of the carriage 20. They consist of segments of cylindrical tubes which slide in fixed supports 26 and 27 having a cylindrical bore adjusted to the outside diameter of the arms 22 and 23. These guide cylinders are fixed on the upper plate of the carriage. The support arm 24 comprises a shaft 28 guided by a fixed bearing 29. At one end, it has an enlargement 30 which slides inside the bore of the arm 23, while at the other end the shaft 28 has a cylindrical part 34 of the same diameter as the arm 23 and which is intended to support a cheek of the coil 7. Parallel to this arm 24, the arm 25 is supported at its two ends by flanges 31 which are integral with the carriage and arm 13.

Aux deux extrémités de l'agencement décrit sont prévues des plaques de butée 41 et 42. La plaque de butée 41 relie les extrémités des deux bras télescopiques 22 et 23, tandis que la plaque de butée 42 est solidaire du bras 24 et à son autre extrémité s'étend dans une échancrure du bras 13 ménagée entre les deux flasques 31. Ces plaques de butée 41 et 42 peuvent servir à positionner les joues de la bobine 7. D'autre part, elles sont liées à un mécanisme de manoeuvre qui comporte deux tiges filetées 43, 44, deux écrous fixes 45, 46 montés sur le plateau du chariot 20, et une douille d'entraînement 47 qui relie les deux tiges filetés 43 et 44 entre les écrous 45 et 46. Des clavettes solidaires des tiges filetées 43 et 44 coulissent dans une rainure longitudinale interne de la douille 47 de sorte que la rotation imprimée au mécanisme par une manivelle 48 fait tourner tout d'abord la tige 43 dans l'écrou 45, mais également par l'intermédiaire de la douille 47 la tige 44 dans l'écrou 46. On comprend que, les sens des filetages des deux vis 43 et 44 étant inversés, si l'on tourne la manivelle dans un sens, les tiges se déplacent dans leurs écrous respectifs en s'écartant l'une de l'autre, alors que, si l'on tourne la manivelle dans l'autre sens, elles se rapprochent. On obtient ainsi un mécanisme de commande des bras télescopiques 22, 23 et 24 qui est d'une réalisation très simple et d'une manoeuvre très facile. La disposition de ce mécanisme est d'autant plus judicieuse que, comme il est monté sur le chariot, si l'on voulait utiliser un mécanisme à vérin par exemple, il serait nécessaire de prévoir des alimentations en fluide de commande au moyen de tuyaux souples qui compliqueraient l'installation.At the two ends of the arrangement described, stop plates 41 and 42 are provided. The stop plate 41 connects the ends of the two telescopic arms 22 and 23, while the stop plate 42 is integral with arm 24 and its other end extends into a notch in the arm 13 formed between the two flanges 31. These abutment plates 41 and 42 can be used to position the cheeks of the coil 7. On the other hand, they are linked to an operating mechanism which comprises two threaded rods 43, 44, two fixed nuts 45, 46 mounted on the plate of the carriage 20, and a drive sleeve 47 which connects the two threaded rods 43 and 44 between the nuts 45 and 46. Keys integral with the threaded rods 43 and 44 slide in an internal longitudinal groove of the sleeve 47 so that the rotation imparted to the mechanism by a crank 48 firstly rotates the rod 43 in the nut 45, but also by means of the sleeve 47 the rod 44 in the nut 46. It is understood that , the directions of the threads of the two screws 43 and 44 being reversed, if the crank is turned in one direction, the rods move in their respective nuts away from one another, whereas, if the 'we turn the crank in the other direction, they get closer. There is thus obtained a control mechanism of the telescopic arms 22, 23 and 24 which is of a very simple construction and very easy to maneuver. The arrangement of this mechanism is all the more judicious since, as it is mounted on the carriage, if one wanted to use a jack mechanism for example, it would be necessary to provide supplies of control fluid by means of flexible pipes. which would complicate the installation.

La construction décrite est suffisamment robuste et rigide pour que les bras 22, 23, 24 et 25 puissent supporter une bobine reposant sur eux pas ses deux joues parallèles. D'autre part, la construction est suffisamment ramassée dans le sens transversal pour que la bobine portée par ses joues sur les deux bras de transport d'un engin de levage et de déplacement puisse être facilement chargée sur le chariot alors qu'il se trouve dans la position de dégagement telle qu'elle est représentée par exemple en traits pleins à gauche en bas de la fig. 2, ou en traits mixtes à droite en bas de cette même figure. Le dispositif décrit de conception simple est peu encombrant et permet d'organiser les chemins de transport des bobines, par exemple dans une câblerie, de façon rationelle. Il facilite l'amenée et l'évacuation des bobines par rapport à un bobinoir ou à un dévidoir installé soit comme machine de tête de ligne soit en queue de ligne dans une câblerie.The construction described is sufficiently robust and rigid so that the arms 22, 23, 24 and 25 can support a coil resting on them not its two parallel cheeks. On the other hand, the construction is sufficiently picked up in the transverse direction so that the reel carried by its cheeks on the two transport arms of a lifting and displacement machine can be easily loaded on the trolley when it is in the release position as shown for example in solid lines on the left at the bottom of FIG. 2, or in dashed lines at the bottom right of this same figure. The described device of simple design is compact and allows to organize the transport paths of the coils, for example in a cable, rationally. It facilitates the feeding and evacuation of the reels compared to a winder or a reel installed either as a head end machine or at the end of a line in a cable plant.

Dans la forme d'exécution représentée à la fig. 2, le chariot 20 comporte son propre moteur 50 monté dans le socle du chariot.
