Description

L'invention concerne un véhicule déplaçable sur deux chemins de roulement croisés séparés par une dénivellation et qui a été conçu avant tout pour se déplacer sur une voie ferrée au cours de son travail et sur une voie ferrée transversale établie à hauteur d'un quai pour l'amener à une position de rangement.The invention relates to a vehicle which can be moved on two crossed tracks separated by a drop in height and which has been designed above all to move on a railway track during its work and on a transverse railway track established at the level of a platform for bring it to a storage position.

Le nettoyage automatique des voies ferrées et des voûtes, notamment du métropolitain, implique l'emploi de robots se déplaçant le long des stations. Comme la section droite de la cavité délimitée par les quais,les voies, les murs et la voûte varie fort peu le long d'une station, les positions des outils de nettoyage ne doivent être modifiées que peu ou pas du tout. Il est donc intéressant de disposer l'outil de nettoyage sur un véhicule qui se déplace sur les rails d'une des voies (voir FR-A- 2 570 105, par exemple).The automatic cleaning of railways and vaults, especially of the metropolitan, involves the use of robots moving along the stations. As the cross section of the cavity delimited by the quays, the tracks, the walls and the vault varies very little along a station, the positions of the cleaning tools must be modified only little or not at all. It is therefore advantageous to have the cleaning tool on a vehicle which moves on the rails of one of the tracks (see FR-A-2 570 105, for example).

Le problème est alors de retirer le véhicule quand le trafic reprend. Un endroit plausible pour le ranger est le quai de la station, mais il n'existe pas, à l'heure actuelle, de moyens suffisamment commodes pour le soulever et le replacer sur la voie pour son prochain travail.The problem is then to remove the vehicle when traffic resumes. A plausible place to store it is the station platform, but there are currently no convenient enough means to lift it and put it back on the track for its next job.

Le but essentiel de l'invention est donc de fournir un véhicule déplaçable à la fois sur un chemin de roulement tel q'une voie ferrée, que l'on appellera longitudinal, et un autre chemin de roulement croisé avec le précédent, que l'on appellera transversal et qui est situé à un autre niveau. Dans la suite de l'exposé, on suppose que le chemin transversal est au-dessus du chemin longitudinal.The essential object of the invention is therefore to provide a vehicle which can be moved both on a raceway such as a railway, which will be called longitudinal, and another raceway crossed with the previous one, that the we will call transverse and which is located on another level. In the remainder of the description, it is assumed that the transverse path is above the longitudinal path.

Le véhicule comprend essentiellement deux châssis superposés : un châssis inférieur portant des roulettes dites longitudinales (d'axe transversal) le déplaçant sur le chemin de roulement longitudinal et un châssis supérieur portant des roulettes transversales (d'axe longitudinal) le déplaçant sur le chemin de roulement transversal. Il comporte également des organes de levage disposés entre les deux châssis et capables de prendre une position d'extension dans laquelle les roulettes transversales sont soulevées au-dessus du chemin de roulement transversal quand les roulettes longitudinales reposent sur le chemin de roulement longitudinal et une position de contraction dans laquelle les roulettes longitudinales et le châssis inférieur sont dégagés du chemin de roulement transversal, et notamment soulevés au-dessus de lui, les roulettes transversales reposant sur ledit chemin de roulement transversal.The vehicle basically consists of two superimposed chassis: a lower chassis carrying so-called longitudinal rollers (of transverse axis) moving it on the longitudinal raceway and an upper chassis carrying transverse rollers (of longitudinal axis) moving it on the transverse raceway. It also comprises lifting members arranged between the two chassis and capable of assuming an extended position in which the transverse rollers are raised above the transverse raceway when the longitudinal rollers rest on the longitudinal raceway and a position of contraction in which the longitudinal rollers and the lower chassis are released from the transverse raceway, and in particular lifted above it, the transverse rollers resting on said transverse raceway.

L'invention montre que l'indépendance des fonctions du véhicule peut être préservée, c'est-à-dire que le châssis inférieur et les roulettes longitudinales ne gênent pas les déplacements sur le chemin de roulement transversal et, réciproquement, les roulettes transversales - et le châssis supérieur - ne gênent pas les déplacements sur le chemin de roulement longitudinal.The invention shows that the independence of the functions of the vehicle can be preserved, that is to say that the lower chassis and the longitudinal rollers do not hinder movement on the transverse raceway and, conversely, the transverse rollers - and the upper chassis - do not hinder movement on the longitudinal raceway.

On va maintenant décrire l'invention plus en détail à l'aide des figures suivantes annexées à titre illustratif et nullement limitatif :

  • la figure 1 représente l'environnement de la réalisation décrite de l'invention,
  • les figures 2 à 5 représentent le véhicule conforme à l'invention et les étapes essentielles d'un de ses modes de fonctionnement,
  • les figures 6 et 7 représentent les étapes essentielles d'un autre de ses modes de fonctionnement, et
  • la figure 8 représente un détail de réalisation.
The invention will now be described in more detail with the aid of the following figures which are annexed by way of illustration and in no way limitative:
  • FIG. 1 represents the environment of the described embodiment of the invention,
  • FIGS. 2 to 5 represent the vehicle according to the invention and the essential steps of one of its operating modes,
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 represent the essential steps of another of its operating modes, and
  • Figure 8 shows an embodiment detail.

La figure 1 représente en coupe un environnement clos station de métro comprenant deux quais 1 de part et d'autre d'un espacel central 2 délimités de l'autre côté par des parois courbes 3 se rejoignant en une voûte 4.L'espace central 2 est muni de deux paires de rails longitudinaux 5 qui définissent donc deux chemins de roulement longitudinaux. L'un d'entre eux porte le véhicule 8 conforme à l'invention, que l'on va décrire en détail plus loin, et qui porte par exemple un outil de nettoyage de voûte 9 composé d'une plate-forme inférieure 10 en rotation autour d'un pivot vertical 11 fixé au véhicule 8. Une plate-forme de travail 12 coulisse sur la plate-forme inférieure 10 horizontalement, et transversalement avec l'orientation représentée de la plate-forme inférieure 10, c'est-à-dire perpendiculairement aux rails 5. Elle porte un bras télescopique 13 articulé dans un plan transversal et qui porte à son extrémité un bac de nettoyage de voûte 14 qui assure la projection de liquide sur la voûte 4 ou sur les murs 3 et qui récupère les eaux usées. L'outil 9 ne sera pas décrit davantage car il constitue l'objet du FR-A- 2635024. D'ailleurs, le véhicule 8 peut transporter d'autres appareils sans que sa constitution et son fonctionnement soient modifiés.Figure 1 shows in section an enclosed metro station environment comprising two platforms 1 on either side of a central space 2 delimited on the other side by curved walls 3 meeting in a vault 4. The central space 2 is provided with two pairs of longitudinal rails 5 which therefore define two longitudinal raceways. One of them carries the vehicle 8 in accordance with the invention, which will be described in detail below, and which carries for example an arch cleaning tool 9 composed of a lower platform 10 in rotation about a vertical pivot 11 fixed to the vehicle 8. A working platform 12 slides on the lower platform 10 horizontally, and transversely with the orientation shown of the lower platform 10, that is to say say perpendicularly to the rails 5. It carries a telescopic arm 13 articulated in a transverse plane and which carries at its end a vault cleaning tank 14 which ensures the projection of liquid on the vault 4 or on the walls 3 and which recovers the waste. The tool 9 will not be described further since it constitutes the object of FR-A-2635024. Moreover, the vehicle 8 can transport other devices without its constitution and operation being modified.

Le véhicule 8 se compose (figures 2 et 3) d'un châssis inférieur 20 et d'un châssis supérieur 21 situé au-dessus du précédent. Le châssis inférieur 20 porte deux paires de roulettes longitudinales 22, chacune des paires de roulettes longitudinales 22, d'axe transversal, roulant sur un rail longitudinal 5. Le châssis supérieur 21 porte deux paires de roulettes transversales 23 d'axe longitudinal. Par ailleurs le châssis inférieur 20 et le châssis supérieur 21 sont reliés par une structure déformable constituée par exemple de quatre vérins 24 de levage, à vis à billes, proches des quatre coins des deux châssis 20 et 21. Le mouvement des vérins 24 est simultané de manière à prendre selon le cas deux positions : une position contractée où les châssis 20 et 21 se touchent et une position d'extension où le châssis supérieur 21 et les roulettes transversales 23 sont soulevés au-dessus du quai 1.The vehicle 8 consists (Figures 2 and 3) of a lower chassis 20 and an upper chassis 21 located above the previous one. The lower chassis 20 carries two pairs of longitudinal rollers 22, each of the pairs of longitudinal rollers 22, of transverse axis, rolling on a longitudinal rail 5. The upper chassis 21 carries two pairs of rollers transverse 23 of longitudinal axis. Furthermore, the lower chassis 20 and the upper chassis 21 are connected by a deformable structure constituted for example by four lifting cylinders 24, with ball screws, close to the four corners of the two chassis 20 and 21. The movement of the cylinders 24 is simultaneous so as to take, as the case may be, two positions: a contracted position where the chassis 20 and 21 touch and an extension position where the upper chassis 21 and the transverse rollers 23 are raised above the platform 1.

Le châssis supérieur 21 porte les équipements nécessaires à la marche et à la mission du véhicule 8. Il porte en particulier un groupe hydraulique 25 fournissant un fluide sous pression à un moteur hydraulique 26 disposé dans le châssis inférieur 20 par l'intermédiaire d'un câble 27. Le moteur hydraulique 26 met en mouvement une paire de roulettes longitudinales 22 par l'intermédiaire d'une transmission.The upper chassis 21 carries the equipment necessary for the running and the mission of the vehicle 8. It carries in particular a hydraulic unit 25 supplying a pressurized fluid to a hydraulic motor 26 disposed in the lower chassis 20 by means of a cable 27. The hydraulic motor 26 sets in motion a pair of longitudinal rollers 22 via a transmission.

Le groupe hydraulique 25 met également en action un moteur hydraulique 28 situé sur le châssis inférieur 20 qui agit simultanément sur les quatre vérins 24,synchronisant ainsi leur fonctionnement. Deux autres moteurs hydrauliques 29 mettent en action une paire de roulettes transversales 23.The hydraulic unit 25 also activates a hydraulic motor 28 located on the lower chassis 20 which acts simultaneously on the four jacks 24, thus synchronizing their operation. Two other hydraulic motors 29 activate a pair of transverse rollers 23.

Ces constituants ne sont pas représentés en détail car ils sont déjà connus et peuvent prendre des formes diverses selon le véhicule.These constituents are not shown in detail because they are already known and can take various forms depending on the vehicle.

Les roulettes transversales 23, représentées plus en détail figure 8, sont parfaitement cylindriques et entourées d'un cerclage 30 portant deux manches 31 dont chacun est muni d'un tampon 32. Les tampons 32 sont situés de part et d'autre de la roulette transversale 23 à l'extérieur - à l'avant ou à l'arrière - de celle-ci. Les cerclages 30 sont reliés rigidement au châssis supérieur 22 par des plaques de liaison 33.The transverse rollers 23, shown in more detail in FIG. 8, are perfectly cylindrical and surrounded by a strapping 30 carrying two sleeves 31 each of which is provided with a pad 32. The pads 32 are located on either side of the caster transverse 23 outside - at the front or at the rear - thereof. The straps 30 are connected rigidly to the upper chassis 22 by connection plates 33.

Les roulettes longitudinales 22 présentent quant à elles une jante de guidage 39 parallèle aux rails longitudinaux 5.The longitudinal rollers 22 have a guide rim 39 parallel to the longitudinal rails 5.

Les roulettes transversales 23 sont situées sur des portions extrêmes 34 et 35 du châssis supérieur 21 qui dépassent du châssis inférieur 20 à l'avant et à l'arrière en direction longitudinale, et elles sont situées entre les rails longitudinaux 5, c'est-à-dire décalées à la fois longitudinalement et transversalement par rapport aux roulettes longitudinales 22.The transverse rollers 23 are located on end portions 34 and 35 of the upper chassis 21 which protrude from the lower chassis 20 at the front and at the rear in the longitudinal direction, and they are located between the longitudinal rails 5, that is to say ie offset both longitudinally and transversely with respect to the longitudinal rollers 22.

Le véhicule 8 peut prendre deux positions fondamentales selon l'état des vérins 24. Il peut tout d'abord prendre une position d'extension, représentée figure 3, dans laquelle les vérins 24 sont déployés. Le châssis supérieur 21 et les roulettes transversales 23 sont alors soulevés au-dessus du quai 1, ainsi qu'au-dessus d'un chemin de roulement transversal composé de deux rails transversaux 40 établis principalement sur le quai 1 et perpendiculaires aux rails longitudinaux 5. Les rails transversaux 40 comprennent (figure 4) une partie amovible 41 qui s'étend au-dessus de l'espace central 2 et des rails longitudinaux 5 et qui est soutenue par des chevalets 42 fixés aux rails longitudinaux 5 par des vis de pression 43 qui appuient sur leurs âmes.The vehicle 8 can take two basic positions depending on the state of the jacks 24. It can first take an extended position, shown in Figure 3, in which the jacks 24 are deployed. The upper frame 21 and the transverse rollers 23 are then lifted above the platform 1, as well as above a transverse raceway composed of two transverse rails 40 established mainly on the platform 1 and perpendicular to the longitudinal rails 5 The transverse rails 40 comprise (FIG. 4) a removable part 41 which extends above the central space 2 and the longitudinal rails 5 and which is supported by trestles 42 fixed to the longitudinal rails 5 by pressure screws. 43 who rely on their souls.

On reconnaît plus précisément un tronçon de rail 46 solidaire du chevalet 42 et un tronçon de rail intermédiaire 47 dont les extrémités reposent sur le chevalet 42 et sur le quai 1 et dont la partie centrale est en porte-à-faux. Les tronçons de rail sont réunis aux tronçons voisins par des éclisses 48. Les tronçons de rail posés sur le quai 1 peuvent être fixes ou amovibles.We recognize more precisely a rail section 46 secured to the bridge 42 and an intermediate rail section 47 whose ends rest on the bridge 42 and on the platform 1 and whose central part is cantilevered. The rail sections are joined to the neighboring sections by fishplates 48. The rail sections placed on the platform 1 can be fixed or removable.

L'autre position fondamentale du véhicule 8, illustrée précisément figure 4, est une position de contraction des vérins 24 dans laquelle, à partir de la position précédente, les roulettes transversales 23 portent désormais sur les rails transversaux 40 et les roulettes longitudinales 22, de même que le châssis inférieur 20, sont soulevés au-dessus du quai 1 et se trouvent à un niveau proche de celui des roulettes transversales 23 dans la réalisation décrite où les portions extrêmes 34 et 35 s'étendent vers le bas et viennent encadrer le châssis inférieur 20. Il est alors possible de mettre en marche les moteurs hydrauliques 29 pour déplacer le véhicule 8 sur les rails transversaux 40, l'enlever de l'espace central 2 et le mettre dans une position de rangement sur le quai 1. Des butées 49 disposées à l'extrémité des rails transversaux 40 proche de la paroi courbe 3 sont heurtées par les tampons 32. D'autres butées amovibles, non représentées, sont alors installées sur les rails transversaux 40 de l'autre côté du véhicule 8 pour le maintenir en position de rangement représentée figure 5. Les tronçons de rail amovibles de même que les chevalets 42 sont retirés pour la reprise de l'activité normale sur la station.The other fundamental position of the vehicle 8, illustrated precisely in FIG. 4, is a position of contraction of the jacks 24 in which, from the previous position, the transverse rollers 23 now bear on the transverse rails 40 and the longitudinal rollers 22, of same as the lower chassis 20, are raised above the platform 1 and are at a level close to that of the transverse rollers 23 in the embodiment described where the end portions 34 and 35 extend downward and come to frame the chassis lower 20. It is then possible to start the hydraulic motors 29 to move the vehicle 8 on the transverse rails 40, remove it from the central space 2 and put it in a storage position on the platform 1. Stops 49 arranged at the end of the transverse rails 40 close to the curved wall 3 are struck by the pads 32. Other removable stops, not shown, are then i nstalled on the transverse rails 40 on the other side of the vehicle 8 to maintain it in the storage position shown in FIG. 5. The removable rail sections as well as the easels 42 are removed for the resumption of normal activity on the station.

Les rails transversaux 40 comprennent une bande de roulement 50 encadrée de deux longerons 51 (figure 8) pour assurer un bon guidage des roulettes transversales 23.The transverse rails 40 comprise a tread 50 framed by two longitudinal members 51 (FIG. 8) to ensure good guidance of the transverse rollers 23.

Comme le représentent les figures 6 et 7, un système analogue peut être utilisé pour déplacer le véhicule 8 entre deux chemins de roulement longitudinaux voisins. On dispose des chevalets 42 sur chacune des deux paires de rails concernées et on les réunit au moyen d'un tronçon de rail intermédiaire 47 comme précédemment. Quand les vérins 24 se contractent, les roulettes transversales 23 entrent en contact avec les rails transversaux et le véhicule 8 peut être déplacé transversalement jusque sur l'autre chemin de roulement longitudinal, après quoi les vérins 24 sont à nouveau déployés pour faire reposer les roulettes longitudinales 22 sur le chemin de roulement longitudinal 5 puis soulever les roulettes transversales 23 au-dessus du chemin de roulement transversal, après quoi le chemin de roulement transversal est démonté. Il n'est évidemment pas nécessaire dans ce cas de faire revenir les vérins 24 à leur position contractée.As shown in Figures 6 and 7, a similar system can be used to move the vehicle 8 between two neighboring longitudinal raceways. Trestles 42 are placed on each of the two pairs of rails concerned and they are joined by means of an intermediate rail section 47 like before. When the jacks 24 contract, the transverse rollers 23 come into contact with the transverse rails and the vehicle 8 can be moved transversely to the other longitudinal raceway, after which the jacks 24 are again deployed to rest the casters longitudinal 22 on the longitudinal race 5 then lift the transverse rollers 23 above the transverse race, after which the transverse race is dismantled. It is obviously not necessary in this case to return the cylinders 24 to their contracted position.

Le véhicule 8 peut circuler sur les rails longitudinaux 5 et accomplir sa mission avec les vérins en position contractée ou étendue, comme les figures 2 et 1 le représentent respectivement. Selon la forme du châssis supérieur 21 et la position des roulettes transversales 23, il est possible ou non de ramener les vérins 24 en position contractée sans les faire toucher les rails longitudinaux 5 et l'espace central 2. Dans la négative, il reste possible de maintenir les vérins 24 dans une position intermédiaire très proche de la position contractée.The vehicle 8 can travel on the longitudinal rails 5 and accomplish its mission with the jacks in the contracted or extended position, as Figures 2 and 1 show respectively. Depending on the shape of the upper frame 21 and the position of the transverse rollers 23, it is possible or not to bring the jacks 24 back into the contracted position without making them touch the longitudinal rails 5 and the central space 2. If not, it remains possible to maintain the jacks 24 in an intermediate position very close to the contracted position.

D'autres formes de l'invention sont possibles. Il n'est par exemple pas obligatoire que les chemins de roulement soient des voies ferrées ; d'autres structures de levage peuvent prendre la place des vérins à vis à billes. Les applications du véhicule peuvent être tout aussi variées.Other forms of the invention are possible. For example, it is not mandatory that the tracks are railway tracks; other lifting structures can take the place of ball screw cylinders. Vehicle applications can be just as varied.
