Description

La présente invention concerne un appareillage pour l'application de traitements de surface à des structures allongées. Par traitement de surface, on entend ici aussi bien les traitements mécaniques tels que le ponçage par sablage que la peinture de ces structures et les traitements ultérieurs d'entretien, par exemple de nettoyage. Par structure allongée, on entend ici tous les éléments verticaux tels que candélabres ou mats d'éclairage installés par exemple le long d'autoroutes ou au-dessus de stades ou de parkings, aussi bien que les éléments horizontaux tels que les rails de sécurité ou les murets placés le long des autoroutes. Dans tous les cas, l'invention trouve son application la plus avantageuse pour le traitement des éléments de grande longueur (ou hauteur), pouvant dépasser 12 mètres. Elle est applicable aux éléments rectilignes, mais comporte des moyens d'adaptation à des portions courbes de ces éléments. Enfin, l'invention s'applique à des éléments de section quelconque, que cette section soit constante sur toute la longueur, ou qu'elle varie d'une extrémité à l'autre, notamment dans le cas des lampadaires autoroutiers.The present invention relates to an apparatus for applying surface treatments to elongated structures. By surface treatment is meant here both mechanical treatments such as sanding by sanding and painting of these structures and subsequent maintenance treatments, for example cleaning. By elongated structure is meant here all the vertical elements such as candelabras or lighting masts installed for example along motorways or above stadiums or parking lots, as well as horizontal elements such as safety rails or the walls placed along the highways. In all cases, the invention finds its most advantageous application for the treatment of elements of great length (or height), which can exceed 12 meters. She is applicable to rectilinear elements, but includes means for adapting to curved portions of these elements. Finally, the invention applies to elements of any section, whether this section is constant over the entire length, or that it varies from one end to the other, in particular in the case of motorway lampposts.

Actuellement tous ces traitements de surface se font de manière artisanale et manuelle, avec les inconvénients et risques que cela comporte.Currently, all these surface treatments are done by hand and by hand, with the disadvantages and risks that this entails.

L'opérateur est monté sur une échelle, ou, au mieux, placé dans une nacelle élévatrice située au bout d'un bras de manoeuvre lui-même monté sur véhicule et exécute son travail en dirigeant manuellement son instrument, tout en commandant la montée et la descente de la nacelle. On enregistre chaque année de nombreuses chutes graves dans ces circonstances.The operator is mounted on a ladder, or, at best, placed in a lifting platform located at the end of an operating arm itself mounted on the vehicle and performs its work by manually directing its instrument, while controlling the climb and the descent of the nacelle. Many serious falls are recorded each year under these circumstances.

Par ailleurs, le travail s'effectue lentement, surtout compte-tenu de la fatigue rapide de l'opérateur, ce qui est coûteux, compte-tenu du temps d'immobilisation du matériel.Furthermore, the work is carried out slowly, especially given the rapid fatigue of the operator, which is expensive, given the downtime of the equipment.

Ainsi, une équipe de trois hommes est nécessaire pour traiter quotidiennement 10 à 12 poteaux de 9 à 11 mètres de haut, depuis la "mise à blanc" à 3 mètres du sol, jusqu'à l'apprêt et la peinture.Thus, a team of three men is necessary to treat daily 10 to 12 posts 9 to 11 meters high, from the "blanking" at 3 meters from the ground, to the primer and painting.

L'appareillage selon l'invention ne nécessite plus qu'un seul opérateur et permet d'effectuer le même traitement à raison de 20 à 25 poteaux par jour, et cela en éliminant tous les risques corporels.The apparatus according to the invention requires only one operator and allows the same treatment to be carried out at the rate of 20 to 25 posts per day, and this eliminating all bodily risks.

A cet effet l'appareillage selon l'invention consiste essentiellement en un "robot" se composant d'une platine formée d'un couple de machoires articulées, dont l'écartement est réglable par un vérin, et portant d'une part des boggies permettant à ladite platine de se déplacer par roulement en restant parallèlement à elle-même, d'autre part des moyens pour provoquer son basculement par rapport à son plan d'origine, des moyens étant prévus pour adapter à cette platine des branchements sur des sources d'alimentation en agents de traitement, tels qu'air comprimé, sable, peinture, solvants et analogues.To this end, the apparatus according to the invention essentially consists of a "robot" consisting of a plate formed by a couple of articulated jaws, the spacing of which is adjustable by a jack, and carrying bogies on the one hand allowing said plate to move in rotation while remaining parallel to itself, on the other hand means for causing its tilting relative to its original plane, means being provided for adapting to this plate connections to sources supply of treatment agents, such as compressed air, sand, paint, solvents and the like.

Selon une première réalisation, particulièrement adaptée au traitement d'éléments de grande longueur, les boggies sont entraînés par un moteur hydraulique, de sorte que le robot est entièrement autonome.According to a first embodiment, particularly suitable for the treatment of elements of great length, the bogies are driven by a hydraulic motor, so that the robot is entirely autonomous.

Selon une seconde réalisation, plus particulièrement adaptée au traitement d'éléments non rectilignes ou d'orien­tation variable, le robot est adapté à l'extrémité d'un bras de manutention réglable en longueur et en orientation, porté par un véhicule de commande.According to a second embodiment, more particularly adapted to the treatment of non-rectilinear elements or of variable orientation, the robot is adapted to the end of a handling arm adjustable in length and in orientation, carried by a control vehicle.

Ces caractéristiques ainsi que d'autres, apparaîtront clairement de la description suivante correspondant au dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • - la figure 1 est une vue de dessus schématique du robot selon l'invention,
  • - la figure 2 illustre la mise en oeuvre du premier mode de réalisation de ce robot, dans son application au traitement d'un poteau de grande hauteur,
  • et la figure 3 illustre la mise en oeuvre du second mode de réalisation, dans son application au traitement d'un lampadaire arrondi et au traitement d'un rail de sécurité horizontal.
These characteristics, as well as others, will appear clearly from the following description corresponding to the appended drawing in which:
  • - Figure 1 is a schematic top view of the robot according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the implementation of the first embodiment of this robot, in its application to the treatment of a pole of great height,
  • and FIG. 3 illustrates the implementation of the second embodiment, in its application to the treatment of a rounded lamppost and to the treatment of a horizontal safety rail.

Sur ce dessin, on a représenté en 1 et 2 les deux mâchoires constituant la platine, montées pivotantes en 1′ et 2′ sur une poutre 3, portant d'une part les deux vérins 4 et 5, agissant en 4′ et 5′ sur les mâchoires 1 et 2 pour en déterminer l'ouverture complète et la fermeture au degré voulu, et d'autre part un organe 6, désigné dans la suite par le terme de fantaisie de "rotator" et déterminant l'orientation de la platine 1-2 par rapport au plan vertical et par rapport au plan horizontal, c'est-à-dire pouvant faire pivoter cette platine autour de deux axes orthogonaux, comme il sera décrit plus loin à propos de la figure 3.In this drawing, there are shown in 1 and 2 the two jaws constituting the plate, pivotally mounted in 1 ′ and 2 ′ on a beam 3, carrying on the one hand the two jacks 4 and 5, acting in 4 ′ and 5 ′ on the jaws 1 and 2 to determine the complete opening and closing to the desired degree, and on the other hand a member 6, designated below by the fancy term of "rotator" and determining the orientation of the plate 1-2 with respect to the vertical plane and with respect to the horizontal plane, that is to say which can make this plate pivot around two orthogonal axes, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 3.

Ces éléments 1-2 et 3 portent, en premier lieu des boggies 7a, 7b, 7c, c'est-à-dire des chariots à galets assurant le roulement de la platine sur les structures à traiter, ces boggies étant situées à l'intérieur de l'espace délimité par ces éléments 1-2-3, ladite structure étant elle-même embrassée par ces éléments. Selon la réalisation choisie, un ou plusieurs de ces boggies peut être moteur, et les autres fous, ou bien tous peuvent être fous, la platine étant manoeuvrée par un bras de manutention. Le nombre de ces boggies peut d'ailleurs être différent, trois étant le nombre minimum.These elements 1-2 and 3 carry, first of all bogies 7 a , 7 b , 7 c , that is to say roller carriages ensuring the rolling of the plate on the structures to be treated, these bogies being located inside the space delimited by these elements 1-2-3, said structure itself being embraced by these elements. According to the chosen realization, one or more of these bogies can be motor, and the other madmen, or else all can be mad, the plate being maneuvered by a handling arm. The number of these bogies can also be different, three being the minimum number.

Ces mêmes éléments portent par ailleurs des têtes 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, etc... constituant des pistolets de projection des divers agents de traitement, provenant de sources d'ali­mentations auxquelles ces têtes sont réunies par des raccordements flexibles 9a, 9b, etc...These same elements also carry heads 8 a , 8 b , 8 c , 8 d , etc. constituting spray guns of the various treatment agents, coming from power sources to which these heads are joined by flexible connections 9 a , 9 b , etc ...

Cette structure de base peut être exploitée de deux manières :This basic structure can be exploited in two ways:

Si l'on se réfère à la figure é, on y a représenté un lampadaire dont les organes d'éclairement E sont portés par un poteau vertical P, de grande hauteur, s'amincissant de bas en haut. Par grande hauteur on entend 11-12 mètres et au-delà, comme il est fréquent sur les autoroutes, les stades et les parkings. Dans ce cas le robot représenté à la figure 1 est monté à la base du poteau, comme représenté en R1, en ouvrant les machoîres 1-2 pour y introduire le poteau, puis en les refermant pour pincer le poteau dans sa zone de section maximum. Le moteur du, ou des, boggies moteurs étant mis en marche dans le sens voulu, le robot va prendre un mouvement ascendant, les deux machoires étant constamment pressées contre le poteau par les vérins 4-5. Les agents de traitement étant appliqués par les pistolets 8, toute la surface du poteau aura été traitée quand le robot arrivera en position haute en R2.If we refer to Figure é, there is shown a lamppost whose lighting elements E are carried by a vertical pole P, of great height, tapering from bottom to top. By great height is meant 11-12 meters and beyond, as is common on highways, stadiums and parking lots. In this case the robot shown in Figure 1 is mounted at the base of the post, as shown in R1, by opening the jaws 1-2 to introduce the post, then closing them to pinch the post in its area of maximum section . The motor of the motor bogie (s) being started in the desired direction, the robot will take an upward movement, the two jaws being constantly pressed against the post by the jacks 4-5. The treatment agents being applied by the guns 8, the entire surface of the post will have been processed when the robot arrives in the high position in R2.

Dans le cas de la figure 3, le robot R est monté par le "rotator" 6 à l'extrémité d'un bras de manutention 10, articulé en 11 et 11′ et de longueur variable par un télescope 12, ce bras étant porté par un véhicule 13, stabilisable de manière connue.In the case of FIG. 3, the robot R is mounted by the "rotator" 6 at the end of a handling arm 10, articulated at 11 and 11 ′ and of variable length by a telescope 12, this arm being carried by a vehicle 13, stabilized in a known manner.

Dans cette réalisation, deux applications sont possibles, entre autres :
- le cas d'un lampadaire L, dont le poteau comporte une portion verticale 14, à section décroissante, se terminant par un arceau 15.
- le cas d'une glissière de sécurité horizontale 16, montée le long d'une voie de circulation.
In this embodiment, two applications are possible, among others:
- the case of a lamppost L, the pole of which has a vertical portion 14, of decreasing section, ending in an arch 15.
- the case of a horizontal safety barrier 16, mounted along a traffic lane.

Dans le cas du lampadaire, le robot suit le profil du lampadaire L, grâce aux déformations du bras de manutention, pivotant autour de ses axes 11 et 11′, et développant plus ou moins son élément télescopique 12. La platine 1-2-3 s'adapte à ses orientations successives par rapport à ce bras 10-11-12 grâce au "rotator" 6, de manière à demeurer constamment dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe du lampadaire en tous points. Le robot passe ainsi de la porition R′, aus positions R′2 et R′3, en projetant régulièrement sur le lampadaire les agents de traitements provenant, par des connections souples portées dans le bras 10 (don non visibles sur le dessin), des sources (bacs, futs, etc) portés le véhicule 13.In the case of the lamppost, the robot follows the profile of the lamppost L, thanks to the deformations of the handling arm, pivoting around its axes 11 and 11 ′, and more or less developing its telescopic element 12. The plate 1-2-3 adapts to its successive orientations relative to this arm 10-11-12 thanks to the "rotator" 6, so as to remain constantly in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the lamppost at all points. The robot thus passes from porition R ′, to positions R′2 and R′3, by regularly projecting the treatment agents coming from the lamp, by flexible connections carried in arm 10 (gift not visible in the drawing), sources (bins, drums, etc.) carried the vehicle 13.

De préférence les boggies présentent une variation de conicité assurant une meilleure adhérence aux poteaux à section variable.Preferably the bogies have a variation in taper ensuring better adhesion to poles with variable section.

Les différents pistolets 8 peuvent assurer le traitement des structures par tous les agents, gazeux, liquides ou solides, tels que : sablage, soufflage, peinture, lavage, décapage sous haute pression. Leur nombre est fonction des sections à peindre ou à traiter et du type d'ingrédients employés : par exemple pour la peinture électrostatique, deux jets suffisent pour couvrir des diamètres de plus de 600 mm.The various guns 8 can ensure the treatment of structures with all agents, gaseous, liquid or solid, such as: sandblasting, blowing, painting, washing, pickling under high pressure. Their number depends on the sections to be painted or treated and the type of ingredients used: for example for electrostatic painting, two jets are enough to cover diameters of more than 600 mm.

Le fonctionnement d'un tel appareillage peut être complètement automatisé, par exemple le sablage est assuré de bas en haut, avec un arrêt dès que des palpeurs "perdent" le poteau ; de même, un premier traitement peut être assuré pendant le mouvement ascendant du robot et un second traitement pendant le mouvement descendant ; de même, compte-tenu du temps de séchage très courts de certaines peintures, on peut appliquer plusieurs couches par plusieurs robots en chaîne ; de même la vitesse de défilement peut être réglée en fonction du contrôle par des moyens électroniques de l'épaisseur de couche.The operation of such an apparatus can be completely automated, for example sanding is ensured from bottom to top, with a stop as soon as feelers "lose" the post; similarly, a first treatment can be provided during the upward movement of the robot and a second treatment during the downward movement; similarly, given the very short drying times of certain paints, several coats can be applied by several chain robots; similarly the running speed can be adjusted as a function of the electronic thickness control of the layer thickness.

En ce qui concerne le traitement des structures horizontales, le déplacement du robot peut être assuré par le véhicule porteur lui-même.With regard to the treatment of horizontal structures, the movement of the robot can be ensured by the carrier vehicle itself.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à ces modes de réalisations, applications et variantes.Of course, the invention is not limited to these modes of realizations, applications and variants.

En particulier, bien que chaque fonction remplie par cet appareillage puisse être commandée manuellement par l'opérateur, des variantes plus sophistiquées de cet appareillage peuvent comporter un asservissement de l'une ou plusieurs (y compris la totalité) de ces fonctions par un automate situé dans la cabinet du véhicule porteur du bras de manutention.In particular, although each function fulfilled by this apparatus can be controlled manually by the operator, more sophisticated variants of this apparatus may include servo-control of one or more (including all) of these functions by an automaton located in the cabinet of the vehicle carrying the handling arm.

Ainsi, on peut prévoir que :
- l'avancement ou le retour du robot ;
- l'ouverture ou la fermeture de l'agent utilisé (pour le décapage, le nettoyage ou la peinture par exemple) ;
- plus généralement les consignes déterminant la régulation ou l'asservissement de tous les mouvements
soient commandés automatiquement en fonction :
- de l'état de surface recherché,
- de l'état de propreté désiré
et/ou de l'épaisseur de peinture choisie,
et/ou de tout autre facteur spécifique à l'opération menée.
Thus, we can predict that:
- advancement or return of the robot;
- the opening or closing of the agent used (for pickling, cleaning or painting for example);
- more generally the instructions determining the regulation or enslavement of all movements
are automatically controlled based on:
- the desired surface condition,
- the desired state of cleanliness
and / or the chosen paint thickness,
and / or any other factor specific to the operation carried out.
