Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de garage de véhicules sur deux niveaux avec un système de levage vertical.The present invention relates to a vehicle garage device on two levels with a vertical lifting system.

Le document FR-A-2.709.510 décrit un dispositif à double plate-forme superposée et solidaire l'une de l'autre permettant de parquer deux véhicules sur un emplacement unique équipé d'une fosse. Les deux plates-formes avec leurs tirants de liaison latéraux forment une cage, qui s'élève hors de la fosse ou s'abaisse dans la fosse à l'aide de quatre vérins de guidage tubulaires poussant en sous face de la plate-forme haute à laquelle est suspendue la plate-forme basse.Document FR-A-2,709,510 describes a double platform device superimposed and integral with one another making it possible to park two vehicles on a single location equipped with a pit. The two platforms with their lateral tie rods form a cage, which rises out of the pit or lowers in the pit using four tubular guide jacks pushing under the high platform to which the low platform is suspended.

Le document DE-A-42.17.200 décrit un dispositif de garage de véhicules comportant deux plates-formes superposées et solidaires l'une de l'autre, la plate-forme supérieure étant en appui sur la plate-forme inférieure, et un système de levage; le tout étant en appui dans une fosse.Document DE-A-42.17.200 describes a vehicle garage device comprising two superposed platforms which are integral with each other, the upper platform being supported on the lower platform, and a system lifting; the whole being supported in a pit.

Ces systèmes connus ont pour inconvénients d'être compliqués et coûteux. Egalement, ils doivent être réalisés avec une structure renforcée.These known systems have the drawbacks of being complicated and expensive. Also, they must be made with a reinforced structure.

En effet, les deux plates-formes étant solidaires l'une de l'autre, celle à laquelle l'autre est suspendue ou sur laquelle l'autre est en appui, doit supporter la charge de l'autre plate-forme, que cette dernière soit amenée à supporter un véhicule ou non. Les moyens de liaison de la plate-forme supérieure à la plate-forme inférieure doivent donc être suffisamment résistants pour transmettre la charge du véhicule supérieur, en plus de celle de la plate-forme solidaire, à la plate-forme reliée aux moyen de levage.Indeed, the two platforms being integral with one another, the one on which the other is suspended or on which the other is in support, must support the load of the other platform, that this the latter either has to support a vehicle or not. The means of connection of the upper platform to the lower platform must therefore be strong enough to transmit the load of the upper vehicle, in addition to that of the integral platform, to the platform connected to the lifting means. .

Le but de l'invention est la réalisation d'un dispositif simple, allégé, robuste et peu coûteux.The object of the invention is the production of a simple, lightened, robust and inexpensive device.

Ce but est atteint par adaptation d'une cage à deux plates-formes solidaires l'une de l'autre, sur un élévateur à quatre colonnes; le tout étant en appui par exemple sur le fond d'une fosse. L'adaptation est faite de façon telle que la plate-forme supérieure repose en position basse par exemple par l'intermédiaire des quatre colonnes du dispositif sur le fond de la fosse et ne sollicite pas les éléments de levage. Seul, le fond de la fosse, encaisse toutes les charges de l'ensemble constitué du dispositif et des véhicules. Grâce à ce principe, les parois ou les tirants latéraux de la cage peuvent être simples, allégés et de faibles dimensions.This object is achieved by adapting a cage to two platforms secured to one another, on a four-column lift; the whole being supported for example on the bottom of a pit. The adaptation is done in such a way that the upper platform rests in the low position for example by means of the four columns of the device on the bottom of the pit and does not stress the lifting elements. Only the bottom of the pit collects all the charges from the assembly consisting of the device and the vehicles. Thanks to this principle, the walls or the lateral tie rods of the cage can be simple, lightened and of small dimensions.

Ainsi l'invention concerne un dispositif de garage de véhicules à levage vertical destiné à être placé dans une fosse formée dans un sol, comprenant une cage comportant deux plates-formes superposées, solidaires l'une de l'autre à l'aide de moyens de liaison comportant un premier jeu d'éléments de longueur fixe ladite cage étant fixée sur un élévateur comportant quatre colonnes constituant un second jeu d'éléments de longueur fixe, la plate-forme inférieure étant destinée à recevoir un premier véhicule lorsque la cage est en position haute hors de la fosse, la plate-forme supérieure étant destinée à recevoir un second véhicule lorsque la cage est en position basse dans la fosse, les colonnes de l'élévateur étant en appui sur le fond de la fosse.Thus, the invention relates to a device for vertically lifting vehicle garages intended to be placed in a pit formed in a ground, comprising a cage comprising two superimposed platforms, secured to one another by means of connection comprising a first set of elements of fixed length, said cage being fixed on an elevator comprising four columns constituting a second set of elements of fixed length, the lower platform being intended to receive a first vehicle when the cage is in high position outside the pit, the upper platform being intended to receive a second vehicle when the cage is in the low position in the pit, the riser columns being supported on the bottom of the pit.

Selon l'invention, la plate-forme supérieure repose, en position basse, sur le fond de la fosse par l'intermédiaire de l'un des deux jeux d'éléments de longueur fixe.According to the invention, the upper platform rests, in the low position, on the bottom of the pit by means of one of the two sets of elements of fixed length.

Ainsi, la charge du véhicule supérieur n'est jamais supportée par les éléments de liaison. Cela permet la mise en oeuvre d'éléments de liaison allégés, diminuant la masse de la cage et par là, les contraintes imposées à l'ensemble des éléments du dispositif de l'invention.Thus, the load of the upper vehicle is never supported by the connecting elements. This allows the implementation of lightened connecting elements, reducing the mass of the cage and thereby the constraints imposed on all the elements of the device of the invention.

Les dimensions utiles de ladite cage peuvent être suffisamment grandes pour recevoir des véhicules de gros gabarit et pour permettre à l'utilisateur d'évoluer agréablement au voisinage, sans risque de se blesser.The useful dimensions of said cage can be large enough to accommodate large vehicles and to allow the user to move pleasantly around, without risk of injury.

Enfin, le dispositif répond aux normes de sécurité concernant sa tenue, sa fiabilité, son système de levage et de commande de manoeuvres, etc. .... .Finally, the device meets the safety standards concerning its behavior, its reliability, its lifting system and control of maneuvers, etc. .....

Dans différents modes de réalisation, l'invention peut aussi présenter les caractéristiques ci-après considérées isolément ou selon toutes leurs combinaisons techniquement possibles:

  • Le dispositif possède au moins un vérin pour l'actionnement de l'élévateur.
  • Le dispositif possède un vérin unique.
  • La hauteur utile entre les plates-formes supérieure et inférieure est au moins égale à 1,80 m.
  • Les moyens de liaison des plates-formes inférieure et supérieure sont des tirants.
  • Les moyens de liaison des plates-formes inférieure et supérieure sont des parois allégées.
  • Le dessous de la plate-forme supérieure est équipé d'un tampon en caoutchouc.
  • Le dispositif est équipé d'une sécurité anti-décrochement.
  • Le dispositif est équipé d'un limiteur de couple ou de pression.
  • Le dispositif est équipé d'un système de levage électro-hydraulique par câble.
  • Le dispositif est équipée d'un système de levage comportant au moins deux chaînes reliées à la plate-forme inférieure et à au moins un vérin.
In different embodiments, the invention can also have the characteristics below considered in isolation or in all their technically possible combinations:
  • The device has at least one jack for actuating the elevator.
  • The device has a single cylinder.
  • The useful height between the upper and lower platforms is at least equal to 1.80 m.
  • The connecting means of the lower and upper platforms are tie rods.
  • The connecting means of the lower and upper platforms are lightened walls.
  • The underside of the upper platform is fitted with a rubber pad.
  • The device is fitted with an anti-drop safety device.
  • The device is fitted with a torque or pressure limiter.
  • The device is equipped with an electro-hydraulic cable lifting system.
  • The device is equipped with a lifting system comprising at least two chains connected to the lower platform and to at least one jack.

Le dispositif est disposé dans une fosse maçonnée de préférence. L'appareil, muni de sa charge ou non, ne prend pas appui sur les parois extérieures de la fosse, mais uniquement sur le fond.The device is preferably placed in a masonry pit. The device, with its load or not, does not rest on the outside walls of the pit, but only on the bottom.

La cage en métal ou en tout autre matériau robuste, est constituée de deux plates-formes solidaires l'une de l'autre, adaptée ou fixée sur un élévateur à quatre colonnes. Le système permet l'élévation d'un véhicule de préférence léger, garé sur la plate-forme inférieure et le stationnement d'un second véhicule éventuellement plus lourd sur la plate-forme supérieure lorsque la cage est, en position basse, descendue dans la fosse. Ce dispositif, est en d'autres termes un monte-charge disposé par exemple dans une fosse creusée dans le sol, permettant de stationner deux véhicules dans un emplacement de surface habituellement réservé à un seul véhicule.The cage made of metal or any other robust material, consists of two platforms integral with each other, adapted or fixed on a four-column lift. The system allows the elevation of a preferably light vehicle, parked on the lower platform and the parking of a second possibly heavier vehicle on the upper platform when the cage is in the low position, descended into the pit. This device is, in other words, a freight elevator arranged for example in a pit dug in the ground, making it possible to park two vehicles in a surface location usually reserved for a single vehicle.

La plate-forme supérieure en position basse est située au niveau du sol; la plate-forme inférieure en position haute également.The upper platform in the low position is located at ground level; the lower platform also in the high position.

La charge maximale à soulever est constituée de la cage, ajoutée d'un véhicule vide d'un poids minimum de 1300 kg.The maximum load to be lifted consists of the cage, added to an empty vehicle with a minimum weight of 1300 kg.

En position haute, l'appareil supporte le chargement et les mouvements du véhicule garé sur la plate-forme inférieure, chargé de cinq personnes et de 100 kg minimum de bagages. Ce chargement total peut être au moins égal à 1700 kg.In the high position, the device supports the loading and movement of the vehicle parked on the lower platform, loaded with five people and a minimum of 100 kg of luggage. This total load can be at least 1,700 kg.

En position basse, la plate-forme s'appuie sur le fond de la fosse, soit par l'intermédiaire des quatre colonnes de l'élévateur sur le haut desquelles elles repose, soit par l'intermédiaire d'éléments verticaux qui appartiennent aux moyens de liaison entre la plate-forme inférieure et la plate-forme supérieure de la cage. Par cette disposition, la plate-forme supérieure ne sollicite pas en permanence les éléments de levage tels que le ou les vérins, le câble, des chaînes et/ou les moyens de liaison des deux plates-formes. Dans cette position, l'appareil supporte la charge d'un véhicule garé sur la plate-forme inférieure et celle d'un véhicule garé sur la plate-forme supérieure. Cette charge peut être supérieure à la charge statique en raison d'un effet dynamique provenant de mouvements quelconques du véhicule supérieur. La plate-forme supérieure est avantageusement rigide et peut supporter un véhicule lourd ayant une charge supérieure à 2500 kg. La charge totale supportée par le dispositif, peut néanmoins être allégée et amortie dans le cas d'un positionnement judicieux de pièces déformables entre la plate-forme inférieure et le fond de la fosse. Dans ce cas, il y a une reprise des efforts par compression de ces parties déformables qui peuvent être des cales en matière plastique, élastiques telles que des ressorts de compression, en caoutchouc, etc. ... .In the low position, the platform rests on the bottom of the pit, either by means of the four riser columns on top of which they rest, or by means of vertical elements which belong to the means of connection between the lower platform and the upper platform of the cage. By this arrangement, the upper platform does not permanently stress the lifting elements such as the jack or jacks, the cable, chains and / or the connecting means of the two platforms. In this position, the device supports the load of a vehicle parked on the lower platform and that of a vehicle parked on the upper platform. This load may be greater than the static load due to a dynamic effect from any movements of the upper vehicle. The upper platform is advantageously rigid and can support a heavy vehicle having a load greater than 2500 kg. The total load supported by the device can nevertheless be reduced and amortized in the case of judicious positioning of deformable parts between the lower platform and the bottom of the pit. In this case, there is a resumption of forces by compression of these deformable parts which can be shims made of plastic, elastic such as compression springs, rubber, etc. ...

Le dispositif est équipé d'un limiteur de couple ou de pression, afin d'empêcher la montée de la cage contenant à la fois un véhicule sur la plate-forme inférieure et un véhicule sur la plate-forme supérieure. Seule, la charge du véhicule placée sur la plate-forme inférieure, est autorisée à monter.The device is equipped with a torque or pressure limiter, in order to prevent the mounting of the cage containing both a vehicle on the lower platform and a vehicle on the upper platform. Only the vehicle load placed on the lower platform is authorized to mount.

Ainsi, les moyens de liaison reliant les deux plates-formes peuvent être considérablement allégés puisqu'ils n'ont à supporter, en toute circonstance que la charge de la plate-forme supérieure augmentée éventuellement d'un coefficient dû à un effet dynamique provoqué par le levage. Ces moyens de liaison (tirants, tubes, parois fines ....) peuvent être en métal ou en matière plastique robuste de formes particulières.Thus, the connecting means connecting the two platforms can be considerably reduced since they only have to bear, in all circumstances, the load of the upper platform possibly increased by a coefficient due to a dynamic effect caused by lifting. These connecting means (tie rods, tubes, thin walls, etc.) may be made of metal or of robust plastic material of particular shapes.

Les règles de sécurité et d'ergonomie imposent certaines caractéristiques dimensionnelles du dispositif, notamment: la hauteur libre minimum entre les plates-formes doit être égale à 1,80 m. En effet, lorsque le véhicule est garé sur la plate-forme inférieure, il est nécessaire de pouvoir en sortir sans risquer de se cogner la tête sur la plate-forme supérieure; également d'avoir une accessibilité suffisamment grande autour du véhicule. Dans ces conditions, une longueur utile de 4,25 m au moins et une largeur utile de 2,45 m au moins des deux plates-formes sont nécessaires. Une course utile de levage est nécessaire, compatible avec l'environnement. Le dispositif est démontable pour permettre son passage par l'entrée réduite d'un garage.The safety and ergonomics rules impose certain dimensional characteristics of the device, in particular: the minimum free height between the platforms must be equal to 1.80 m. Indeed, when the vehicle is parked on the lower platform, it is necessary to be able to get out without risking to bump your head on the upper platform; also to have a sufficiently large accessibility around the vehicle. In these conditions, a useful length of at least 4.25 m and a useful width of at least 2.45 m of the two platforms are necessary. A useful lifting stroke is necessary, compatible with the environment. The device is removable to allow passage through the reduced entrance to a garage.

Par ailleurs, lorsque la cage est relevée, l'usager du véhicule parqué sur la plate-forme inférieure, doit pouvoir ouvrir l'ensemble des portes de son véhicule (coffre ou hayon). Un tampon en caoutchouc est disposé sur le dessous de la plate-forme supérieure afin de protéger le hayon des chocs éventuels contre la plate-forme supérieure.Furthermore, when the cage is raised, the user of the vehicle parked on the lower platform must be able to open all of the doors of his vehicle (boot or tailgate). A rubber stamp is placed on the underside of the upper platform to protect the tailgate from possible impacts against the upper platform.

Le dispositif répond de plus à d'autres règles de sécurité, notamment:

  • Les sols des plates-formes sont constitués de tôle antidérapante et s'adaptant le plus parfaitement possible au contour de la fosse, de façon à éviter les risques de coincement, de chute d'objet, etc. ... . Il peut être prévu une trappe d'accès ou trou de visite sur les plates-formes inférieure et supérieure.
  • Les commandes de manoeuvre sont situées suffisamment loin du dispositif pour éviter le risque de guillotine lors d'un déplacement vertical. Ainsi, le boîtier de commande pourra être placé avantageusement à l'entrée du garage. Les tensions d'alimentation et le fonctionnement devront être compatibles avec les normes européennes en cours et avec les installations existant chez les particuliers.
The device also meets other safety rules, in particular:
  • The floors of the platforms are made of non-slip sheet metal and adapt as perfectly as possible to the contour of the pit, so as to avoid the risks of jamming, falling objects, etc. ... An access hatch or inspection hole can be provided on the lower and upper platforms.
  • The operating controls are located far enough from the device to avoid the risk of guillotine during vertical movement. Thus, the control unit can be advantageously placed at the entrance to the garage. Supply voltages and operation must be compatible with current European standards and with installations existing in private homes.

La Figure 1 représente le dispositif de l'invention selon un premier mode de réalisation en position basse.Figure 1 shows the device of the invention according to a first embodiment in the low position.

La Figure 2 représente le dispositif de la Figure 1 en position haute.Figure 2 shows the device of Figure 1 in the high position.

La Figure 3 représente le dispositif de l'invention selon un deuxième mode de réalisation.Figure 3 shows the device of the invention according to a second embodiment.

La Figure 1 représente le dispositif de l'invention selon un premier mode de réalisation en position basse 17 à l'intérieur d'un garage 1 ayant une entrée 29. Une fosse 11, aménagée dans un sol 12 et présentant un fond 14, reçoit le dispositif complet sous forme d'une cage 2. Cette cage 2 est constituée d'une plate-forme inférieure 4 et d'une plate-forme supérieure 5 superposées et solidaires l'une de l'autre à l'aide de moyens de liaison tels que tirants 3, montants 31 ou parois allégées . Cette cage 2 est fixée sur un élévateur 28 comportant quatre colonnes 6. Un premier véhicule 8 est garé sur la plate-forme inférieure 4 et un second véhicule 9 sur la plate-forme supérieure 5. Les quatre colonnes 6 de l'élévateur 28 sont fixées sur le fond 14 de la fosse 11 par l'intermédiaire de quatre points de fixation 7. Un raidisseur 10 longitudinal est disposé sous la plate-forme supérieure 5. Dans cette configuration, la plate-forme supérieure 5 est au niveau du sol 12. A l'entrée 29 du garage 1, est disposé un boîtier de commande 24 du dispositif, relié à un vérin 13 de levage par l'intermédiaire de fils de liaison 25 traversant le sol 12. Le haut de la colonne 6 du vérin 13 de levage supporte le système de levage électro-hydraulique par câble 20 ainsi qu'un limiteur de couple 19. Un tampon en caoutchouc 21 est fixé sur le dessous de la plate-forme supérieure 5. Une première trappe d'accès 22 est aménagée au milieu de la plate-forme supérieure 5 et une deuxième trappe d'accès 23 au milieu de la plate-forme inférieure 4. Une succession de rainures 26 sont aménagées sur les parties longitudinales des quatre colonnes 6. Deux caoutchoucs 27 sont disposés sur le fond 14 de la fosse 11; ils sont écrasés entre la plate-forme inférieure 4 et le fond 14 puisque le dispositif est en position basse.Figure 1 shows the device of the invention according to a first embodiment in the low position 17 inside a garage 1 having an entrance 29. A pit 11, arranged in a ground 12 and having a bottom 14, receives the complete device in the form of a cage 2. This cage 2 consists of a lower platform 4 and an upper platform 5 superimposed and integral with one another using means of connection such as tie rods 3, uprights 31 or lightened walls. This cage 2 is fixed on an elevator 28 comprising four columns 6. A first vehicle 8 is parked on the lower platform 4 and a second vehicle 9 on the upper platform 5. The four columns 6 of the elevator 28 are fixed to the bottom 14 of the pit 11 by means of four fixing points 7. A longitudinal stiffener 10 is arranged under the upper platform 5. In this configuration, the upper platform 5 is at ground level 12. At the entrance 29 of the garage 1 , is arranged a control box 24 of the device, connected to a lifting cylinder 13 by means of connecting wires 25 crossing the ground 12. The top of the column 6 of the lifting cylinder 13 supports the electro- lifting system. hydraulic cable 20 as well as a torque limiter 19. A rubber buffer 21 is fixed on the underside of the upper platform 5. A first access hatch 22 is provided in the middle of the upper platform 5 and a second access hatch 23 in the middle of the lower platform 4. A succession of grooves 26 are arranged on the longitudinal parts of the four columns 6. Two rubbers 27 are arranged on the bottom 14 of the pit 11; they are crushed between the lower platform 4 and the bottom 14 since the device is in the low position.

Dans cette position basse 17, le premier véhicule 8 a été garé sur la plate-forme inférieure 4 de la cage 2, puis a été descendu dans la fosse 11 aménagée dans le sol 12. Ce déplacement est effectué à l'aide du vérin de levage 13, lui-même commandé par le système de levage électro-hydraulique par câble 20, et qui coopère avec une traverse 41 de la plate-forme inférieure 4 de façon que l'effort du vérin de levage 13 est appliqué sur la plate-forme 4.In this low position 17, the first vehicle 8 has been parked on the lower platform 4 of the cage 2, then has been lowered into the pit 11 arranged in the ground 12. This movement is carried out using the cylinder lifting 13, itself controlled by the electro-hydraulic lifting system by cable 20, and which cooperates with a cross member 41 of the lower platform 4 so that the force of the lifting cylinder 13 is applied to the platform form 4.

La plate-forme supérieure 5 est située au niveau du sol 12 du garage 1. Ainsi, le second véhicule 9 peut être garé sur la plate-forme supérieure 5. Le raidisseur 10 est fixé sous la plate-forme supérieure 5 pour assurer une grande rigidité de celle-ci.The upper platform 5 is located at ground level 12 of the garage 1. Thus, the second vehicle 9 can be parked on the upper platform 5. The stiffener 10 is fixed under the upper platform 5 to ensure a large rigidity thereof.

La fosse 11 est maçonnée pour assurer la fixation des quatre colonnes 6 aux quatre coins dans le fond 14 de la fosse 11 par les points de fixation 7. Ces quatre colonnes 6 reçoivent la charge totale comprenant le dispositif complet, le premier véhicule 8 garé sur la plate-forme inférieure 4 et le deuxième véhicule 9 garé sur la plate-forme supérieure 5.The pit 11 is built to secure the four columns 6 to the four corners in the bottom 14 of the pit 11 by the fixing points 7. These four columns 6 receive the total load comprising the complete device, the first vehicle 8 parked on the lower platform 4 and the second vehicle 9 parked on the upper platform 5.

Dans cette position basse 17, la plate-forme supérieure 5 repose sur le haut 30 des quatre colonnes 6 de l'élévateur de véhicule 28. Ceci permet d'alléger considérablement les moyens de liaison 3 latéraux de la cage 2 constitués par des tirants ou des parois.In this low position 17, the upper platform 5 rests on the top 30 of the four columns 6 of the vehicle lift 28. This makes it possible to considerably lighten the lateral connection means 3 of the cage 2 constituted by tie rods or walls.

Les deux caoutchoucs 27 d'amortissement sont comprimés entre la plate-forme inférieure 4 et le fond 14 de la fosse 11 pour diminuer et amortir la charge sur les quatre colonnes 6, lorsque le dispositif est descendu, ou est en fin de descente.The two damping rubbers 27 are compressed between the lower platform 4 and the bottom 14 of the pit 11 to reduce and dampen the load on the four columns 6, when the device is lowered, or is at the end of lowering.

Les quatre colonnes 6 sont optimisées pour supporter la charge. Par ailleurs, le vérin de levage 13 et le système de levage électro-hydraulique par câble 20 ne sont pas sollicités.The four columns 6 are optimized to support the load. Furthermore, the lifting cylinder 13 and the electro-hydraulic cable lifting system 20 are not stressed.

Le limiteur de couple 19 est prévu afin d'empêcher la montée de la cage 2 lorsque le second véhicule 9 est sur la plate-forme supérieure 5.The torque limiter 19 is provided in order to prevent the cage 2 from rising when the second vehicle 9 is on the upper platform 5.

La trappe d'accès 22 permet d'accéder sous la plate-forme supérieure 5.The access hatch 22 provides access under the upper platform 5.

Pour des raisons de sécurité, le boîtier de commande 24 est fixé à l'entrée 29 du garage 1 suffisamment loin du dispositif afin d'éviter tout risque d'accident tel l'effet d'une guillotine dans un déplacement perpendiculaire vers le haut dudit dispositif, tout en conservant une bonne visibilité de l'ensemble.For security reasons, the control unit 24 is fixed to the entrance 29 of the garage 1 far enough from the device to avoid any risk of accident such as the effect of a guillotine in a perpendicular movement upwards of said device, while maintaining good visibility of the whole.

La Figure 2 représente le dispositif en position haute 18 à l'intérieur du garage 1. Pour arriver dans cette position haute 18, le second véhicule 9 a d'abord été sorti du garage 1. L'ensemble a été ensuite monté à l'aide du vérin de levage 13, lui-même commandé par le système de levage électro-hydraulique par câble 20.Figure 2 shows the device in the high position 18 inside the garage 1. To reach this high position 18, the second vehicle 9 was first removed from the garage 1. The assembly was then mounted to the using the lifting cylinder 13, itself controlled by the electro-hydraulic cable lifting system 20.

La plate-forme inférieure 4 est située au niveau du sol 12 du garage 1. Dans cette configuration, le premier véhicule 8 peut alors sortir du garage 1.The lower platform 4 is located at ground level 12 of the garage 1. In this configuration, the first vehicle 8 can then leave the garage 1.

Dans cette position haute 18, le premier véhicule 8 situé sur la plate-forme inférieure 4, sollicite transitoirement le système de levage 13. A ce sujet, on peut prévoir une option permettant de commander quatre cales (non représentées) traversant les quatre colonnes 6 et venant s'appuyer sur le sol 12; cela permet de soulager les éléments de levage 13.In this high position 18, the first vehicle 8 located on the lower platform 4, transiently requests the lifting system 13. In this regard, an option can be provided for controlling four wedges (not shown) passing through the four columns 6 and coming to rest on the ground 12; this relieves the lifting elements 13.

La hauteur libre H entre les plates-formes inférieure 4 et supérieure 5 et la longueur utile L de la cage 2 permettent une liberté d'action pour l'utilisateur sans risque de se cogner la tête à la plate-forme supérieure 5.The free height H between the lower 4 and upper 5 platforms and the useful length L of the cage 2 allow freedom of action for the user without the risk of bumping their heads against the upper platform 5.

Par ailleurs, le tampon 21 en caoutchouc permet une protection des chocs du hayon contre la plate-forme supérieure 5.Furthermore, the rubber buffer 21 protects the tailgate against shocks against the upper platform 5.

La trappe d'accès 23 permet d'accéder sous la plate-forme inférieure 4 dans cette position levée.The access hatch 23 provides access under the lower platform 4 in this raised position.

Pour des raisons de sécurité, le boîtier de commande 24 est fixé à l'entrée 29 du garage 1, suffisamment loin du dispositif afin d'éviter tout risque d'accident tel l'effet d'une guillotine dans un déplacement vertical vers le bas dudit dispositif, tout en conservant une bonne visibilité de l'ensemble.For safety reasons, the control box 24 is fixed to the entrance 29 of the garage 1, far enough from the device to avoid any risk of accident such as the effect of a guillotine in a vertical downward movement of said device, while retaining good visibility of the assembly.

Un système de sécurité anti-décrochement permet dans le cas d'une rupture du câble, d'introduire automatiquement des cales de sécurité dans les rainures 26 aménagées dans le sens longitudinal des quatre colonnes 6.An anti-detachment safety system makes it possible, in the event of a cable break, to automatically introduce safety wedges into the grooves 26 arranged in the longitudinal direction of the four columns 6.

Le dispositif de l'invention comporte, selon le premier mode de réalisation décrit ci-avant en référence aux Figures 1 et 2, des colonnes 6 fixées sur le fond 14 de la fosse 11. A l'intérieur de l'une de ces colonnes 6 est logé le vérin de levage 13 qui est commandé par le système de levage électro-hydraulique par câble 20 et à l'aide duquel est effectué le déplacement entre la position basse 17 et la position haute 18 dans un sens ou dans l'autre.The device of the invention comprises, according to the first embodiment described above with reference to Figures 1 and 2, columns 6 fixed to the bottom 14 of the pit 11. Inside one of these columns 6 is housed the cylinder lifting 13 which is controlled by the electro-hydraulic cable lifting system 20 and with the aid of which the displacement is effected between the low position 17 and the high position 18 in one direction or the other.

Dans une variante de ce mode de réalisation, chacune des colonnes peut être munie d'un vérin 13 et d'un système de levage électro-hydraulique par câble 20.In a variant of this embodiment, each of the columns can be provided with a jack 13 and with an electro-hydraulic lifting system by cable 20.

Selon ce premier mode de réalisation, le dispositif de l'invention comprend également une cage 2 dont la plate-forme inférieure 4 et la plate-forme supérieure 5 sont reliées entre elles, entre autre, par des montants 31. Ces montants 31 sont disposés de manière telle qu'ils se déplacent, lors du déplacement de la cage, à proximité des colonnes 6, mais en tout cas à l'extérieur de ces dernières.According to this first embodiment, the device of the invention also comprises a cage 2, the lower platform 4 and the upper platform 5 are interconnected, among others, by uprights 31. These uprights 31 are arranged in such a way that they move, during the movement of the cage, near the columns 6, but in any case outside of the latter.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation du dispositif de l'invention, les colonnes de l'élévateur et les montants de la cage sont conçus de façon à former ensemble des jambes télescopiques.According to a second embodiment of the device of the invention, the riser columns and the amounts of the cage are designed so as to form together telescopic legs.

Le dispositif de l'invention selon ce deuxième mode de réalisation comprend alors une cage 102 comportant une plate-forme inférieure 104 et une plate-forme supérieure 105 superposée et solidaires l'une de l'autre à l'aide de moyens de liaison tels que de montants 131.The device of the invention according to this second embodiment then comprises a cage 102 comprising a lower platform 104 and an upper platform 105 superimposed and integral with one another using connecting means such than amounts 131.

Le dispositif de l'invention comprend par ailleurs un élévateur 128 comportant quatre colonnes 106. Les colonnes 106 de l'élévateur 128 sont fixées sur le fond 14 de la fosse 11, de manière analogue par rapport à la fixation des colonnes 6 du dispositif selon le premier mode de réalisation, par des fixations 107.The device of the invention also comprises an elevator 128 comprising four columns 106. The columns 106 of the elevator 128 are fixed to the bottom 14 of the pit 11, in a similar manner with respect to the fixing of the columns 6 of the device according to the first embodiment, by fasteners 107.

Les dimensions des colonnes 106 et des montants 131 sont choisies de façon telle que les montants 131 peuvent envelopper les colonnes 106, l'ensemble d'une colonne 106 et d'un montant 131 formant une jambe télescopique.The dimensions of the columns 106 and the uprights 131 are chosen such that the uprights 131 can envelop the columns 106, the whole of a column 106 and an upright 131 forming a telescopic leg.

La plate-forme inférieure 104 de la cage 102 est pourvue de deux traverses 141 et 142 sur lesquelles sont fixées les extrémités inférieures des montants 131. Les traverses 141 et 142 son pourvues, à proximité de leurs extrémités, de poulies 143 qui appartiennent à un système de levage décrit plus loin.The lower platform 104 of the cage 102 is provided with two cross members 141 and 142 on which are fixed the lower ends of the uprights 131. The cross members 141 and 142 are provided, near their ends, pulleys 143 which belong to a lifting system described below.

En ce qui concerne les autres éléments techniques et caractéristiques du dispositif de garage selon l'invention, le dispositif selon le deuxième mode de réalisation correspond à celui selon le premier mode de réalisation. Il en est de même pour la disposition du dispositif de garage à l'intérieur de la fosse, la fosse même et le fonctionnement du dispositif de garage à l'intérieur d'un garage. Pour cette raison, une répétition de la description est omise.As regards the other technical elements and characteristics of the garage device according to the invention, the device according to the second embodiment corresponds to that according to the first embodiment. It is the same for the arrangement of the garage device inside the pit, the pit itself and the operation of the garage device inside a garage. For this reason, a repetition of the description is omitted.

Alors que le déplacement de la cage du dispositif de garage par rapport à l'élévateur est effectué, en ce qui concerne le premier mode de réalisation, par un vérin de levage commandé par un système de levage électro-hydraulique par câble, ce déplacement est effectué, selon le deuxième mode de réalisation, au moyen d'un dispositif d'entraînement comprenant un vérin 113, deux chaînes 114, les poulies 143 et un élément flexible de connexion 115 reliant le vérin 113 aux chaînes 114.While the movement of the cage of the garage device relative to the elevator is carried out, as regards the first embodiment, by a lifting cylinder controlled by an electro-hydraulic cable lifting system, this movement is carried out, according to the second embodiment, by means of a drive device comprising a jack 113, two chains 114, the pulleys 143 and a flexible connection element 115 connecting the jack 113 to the chains 114.

Le vérin 113 est monté en dessous de la plate-forme inférieure 104 et est attaché, avec sa partie mobile, à une extrémité de l'élément de connexion 115. Cet élément de connexion 15 peut être un câble ou une chaîne. L'autre extrémité de cet élément de connexion 115 est attachée, par l'intermédiaire d'une attache 116, à une des extrémités des chaînes 114. Chacune des chaînes 114 est conduite autour d'un ensemble de poulies 143 et en passant par l'élément d'attache 116, de l'extrémité supérieure d'une colonne 106 à l'extrémité supérieure d'une autre colonne 106. La seconde chaîne 114 est attachée, par une de ses extrémités, à l'extrémité supérieure d'une troisième des quatre colonnes 106 et, par l'autre extrémité, à l'extrémité supérieure de la quatrième colonne 106.The jack 113 is mounted below the lower platform 104 and is attached, with its movable part, to one end of the connection element 115. This connection element 15 can be a cable or a chain. The other end of this connection element 115 is attached, by means of a fastener 116, to one of the ends of the chains 114. Each of the chains 114 is driven around a set of pulleys 143 and passing through the fastener 116, from the upper end of a column 106 to the upper end of another column 106. The second chain 114 is attached, by one of its ends, to the upper end of a third of the four columns 106 and, at the other end, to the upper end of the fourth column 106.

Par le fait que les poulies 143 sont toutes montées sur la plate-forme inférieure 104, tout actionnement du vérin 113 permet ou engendre un mouvement vertical de la plate-forme inférieure 104 et par cela de la cage 102.By the fact that the pulleys 143 are all mounted on the lower platform 104, any actuation of the jack 113 allows or generates a vertical movement of the lower platform 104 and thereby of the cage 102.

Plus particulièrement, une extension du vérin 113 engendre la montée de la cage 102, alors que la compression du vérin 113 permet la descente de la cage 102.More particularly, an extension of the jack 113 causes the cage 102 to rise, while the compression of the jack 113 allows the cage 102 to descend.

La longueur des colonnes 106 et la longueur des montants 131 sont choisies de façon telle que la plate-forme supérieure repose en tout cas, en position basse, soit sur les extrémités supérieures des colonnes 106 fixées et donc solidaires au fond de la fosse, soit sur les extrémités supérieures des montants 131 auxquels elle est solidaire et dont les extrémités inférieures sont alors en appui sur le fond de la fosse. Il en résulte, que aussi bien dans l'un que dans l'autre des deux modes de réalisation décrits ci-avant, la plate-forme supérieure s'appuie, en position basse, entièrement sur le fond de la fosse et ne sollicite donc pas les éléments de levage ni les moyens de liaison entre la plate-forme supérieure et la plate-forme inférieure de la cage du dispositif de garage.The length of the columns 106 and the length of the uprights 131 are chosen such that the upper platform rests in any case, in the low position, either on the upper ends of the columns 106 fixed and therefore integral with the bottom of the pit, or on the upper ends of the amounts 131 to which it is integral and whose lower ends are then supported on the bottom of the pit. As a result, both in one and in the other of the two embodiments described above, the upper platform rests, in the low position, entirely on the bottom of the pit and therefore does not stress not the lifting elements nor the connecting means between the upper platform and the lower platform of the garage device cage.

Les signes de référence insérés après les caractéristiques techniques mentionnées dans les revendications, ont pour seul but de faciliter la compréhension de ces dernières, et n'en limitent aucunement la portée.The reference signs inserted after the technical characteristics mentioned in the claims, have the sole purpose of facilitating the understanding of the latter, and in no way limit their scope.
