Abstract

The procedure, for use with a machine in which the paper is stacked on shelves (31) at its output end, involves placing a container (1) with an opening door (6) against the outlet end of the machine and locking it into place. The stacks of paper on the shelves are then transferred automatically to the container, which also has a series of inner shelves, and once the loading procedure has been completed the container is disengaged from the machine and its door closed and locked. The container door can be opened and closed automatically, and it is positioned relative to the output end of the machine by means of centering elements and guides. The transfer of the paper stacks from the machine to the container is effected by a pusher (41).

Description

L'invention concerne un procédé de déchargement d'une ou plusieurs rames de feuilles, en particulier de feuilles de papiers-valeurs, d'une sortie d'une machine appartenant à une installation de production de papiers-valeurs et un dispositif pour le déchargement d'une ou plusieurs rames de feuilles.The invention relates to a method of unloading one or more several reams of leaves, in particular leaves of securities, from an output of a machine belonging to a facility for the production of securities and a device for unloading one or more oars from leaves.

Sous le terme machine de production de papiers-valeurs, il faut notamment comprendre des machines d'impression, des machines de numérotation et des machines de contrôle de qualité des papiers-valeurs.Under the term machine for the production of securities, it include printing machines, numbering machines and control machines quality of securities.

Dans les machines de production connues, notamment d'impression taille-douce, les feuilles de papier destinées à être imprimées sont amenées à l'entrée de la machine d'impression, passent dans celle-ci l'une après l'autre et reçoivent des impressions soit recto seulement, soit recto-verso. Les feuilles sont finalement envoyées dans la sortie de la machine d'impression.In known production machines, in particular intaglio printing papers intended for to be printed are brought to the machine entrance one after the other and receive prints either single-sided or double-sided. The sheets are finally sent in the output of the printing machine.

Les sorties des machines de production de papiers-valeurs comportent généralement au moins deux étagères et leur remplissage s'effectue de la manière suivante: une planche en forme de plateau ou de palette est introduite sur des glissières horizontales dans l'une des étagères, glissières qui sont montées sur un système du type paternoster. Le plateau reçoit ensuite les feuilles imprimées jusqu'à ce qu'une rame de taille déterminée, par exemple de cinq cent feuilles, soit constituée. A ce moment, l'autre étagère, dans laquelle un plateau aura préalablement été introduit, est sélectionnée pour les nouvelles feuilles imprimées arrivant dans la sortie, tandis les glissières et le plateau portant la rame de feuilles de la première étagère sont décalés vers le bas. Un nouveau plateau est introduit sur les glissières de la première étagère et des feuilles imprimées seront empilées sur ce plateau dès que cette étagère sera sélectionnée, c'est-à-dire lorsque le plateau de la deuxième étagère supportera une rame complète. L'empilage des feuilles sur ce nouveau plateau et sur les plateaux suivants se poursuit ainsi de manière alternative jusqu'à ce que l'étagère contienne un nombre déterminé de plateaux, par exemple dix plateaux portant chacun une rame de cinq cent feuilles. La demande de brevet EP 0 725 027 décrit un exemple de remplissage des étagères d'une machine d'impression. Dans cette demande, les rames sont finalement transférées des étagères sur un chariot et emmenées.The output of the paper production machines generally have at least two shelves and their filling is carried out as follows: a board in the form of a tray or pallet is introduced on horizontal rails in one of the shelves, rails which are mounted on a paternoster type system. The tray then receives the printed sheets until than a train of a certain size, for example five hundred leaves, either incorporated. At that moment, the other shelf, in which a tray has been previously introduced, is selected for new printed sheets arriving in the exit, while the slides and the tray carrying the ream of leaves from the first shelf are shifted down. A new tray is introduced on the rails of the first shelf and sheets printed will be stacked on this tray as soon as this shelf will be selected, i.e. when the shelf of the second shelf will support a full train. The stacking of the leaves on this new tray and on the following plateaus continues as an alternative until the shelf contains a specific number of trays, for example ten trays each carrying an oar of five hundred sheets. Patent application EP 0 725 027 describes an example of filling the shelves of a machine printing. In this request, the oars are finally transferred from the shelves to a cart and taken away.

Le vidage d'une étagère de sortie est une opération qui s'effectue actuellement encore de manière manuelle, opération au cours de laquelle les plateaux supportant les rames de feuilles sont retirés de l'étagère et transférés sur un chariot. Ce transfert est effectué pour tous les plateaux d'une étagère, chaque étagère contenant en général dix plateaux, et une fois que le chariot est rempli avec les dix plateaux de l'étagère, il est emmené soit vers une autre machine de production soit vers un lieu de stockage.Emptying an exit shelf is an operation that is currently still done manually, operation during which the plates supporting the reams of sheets are removed from the shelf and transferred on a cart. This transfer is made for all trays of one shelf, each shelf generally containing ten trays, and once the cart is filled with the ten trays of the shelf he is taken either to a other production machine either to a storage location.

L'inconvénient majeur du transfert manuel des plateaux portant des rames est que des feuilles imprimées peuvent d'une part être salies ou déchirées et d'autre part être volées lors du déplacement des rames entre deux machines. Chaque rame de feuilles pesant entre 30 et 40 kilos, le déchargement manuel est un travail particulièrement pénible. De plus, des vols de feuilles imprimées ne sont pas non plus acceptables. The major drawback of manual tray transfer carrying oars is that printed sheets can on the one hand be soiled or torn and on the other hand be stolen when trains were moved between two machines. Each ream of leaves weighing between 30 and 40 kilos, the manual unloading is a particularly work annoying. In addition, thefts of printed sheets are not also not acceptable.

Le but de l'invention est de diminuer autant que possible les manipulations manuelles des rames de feuilles imprimées et par conséquent de diminuer les risques de voir des feuilles imprimées être endommagées ou disparaítre. Ce but est atteint, selon l'invention, par un procédé de déchargement des rames de feuilles d'une sortie d'une machine ayant au moins une étagère à plateaux, le procédé étant caractérisé par les étapes suivantes:

  • a) mise en place d'un conteneur comportant au moins une porte du côté de l'étagère à plateaux,
  • b) positionnement et blocage du conteneur par rapport à l'étagère,
  • c) transfert des plateaux portant les rames de l'étagère à plateaux dans le conteneur,
  • d) fermeture de la porte du conteneur,
  • e) déblocage du conteneur, celui-ci pouvant être déplacé.
    • The object of the invention is to reduce as much as possible the manual handling of the reams of printed sheets and therefore to reduce the risk of the printed sheets being damaged or disappearing. This object is achieved, according to the invention, by a process for unloading the reams of sheets from an outlet of a machine having at least one tray shelf, the process being characterized by the following steps:
  • a) installation of a container comprising at least one door on the side of the tray shelf,
  • b) positioning and blocking of the container relative to the shelf,
  • c) transfer of the trays carrying the oars from the tray shelf to the container,
  • d) closing the container door,
  • e) unlocking of the container, which can be moved.

    • On obtient ainsi une automatisation au moins partielle du procédé de déchargement et de transfert des rames de feuilles.There is thus obtained at least partial automation of the method of unloading and transferring the oars of leaves.

    Les revendications dépendantes 2 à 5 définissent des étapes particulière du procédé selon l'invention.Dependent claims 2 to 5 define steps particular of the process according to the invention.

    Préférablement, toutes les rames de feuilles sont transférées simultanément de l'étagère à plateaux de la machine de production dans le conteneur.Preferably, all the reams of leaves are transferred simultaneously from the tray shelf of the production machine in the container.

    L'ensemble des opérations s'exécute de manière automatique grâce à une commande appropriée, des moyens de transmission et des moyens de contrôle. De cette manière, l'opération sensible du transfert des plateaux portant les rames de l'étagère dans le conteneur se fait dans un espace toujours fermé, sans manipulations manuelles, et d'autre part le conteneur n'est libéré qu'au moment où sa porte a été refermée. Les rames de feuilles imprimées peuvent donc être déplacées sans risque de vol ou de détérioration.All operations are performed automatically through appropriate control, means of transmission and means of control. In this way, the operation sensitive to the transfer of the trays carrying the oars of the shelf in the container is always in a space closed, without manual manipulation, and on the other hand the container is not released until its door has been opened closed. Reams of printed sheets can therefore be moved without risk of theft or damage.

    Le dispositif selon l'invention de déchargement de rames de feuilles de papiers-valeurs de la sortie d'une machine de production comprenant au moins une étagère à plateaux, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend:

    • un conteneur fermé dont au moins l'une des parois comporte une porte pouvant être ouverte et fermée de manière automatisée,
    • des moyens de positionnement et de blocage du conteneur par rapport à l'étagère à plateaux,
    • des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture de la porte,
    • un système de transfert pour déplacer les plateaux portant les rames depuis l'étagère dans le conteneur,
    • un système automatique pour commander et contrôler les moyens de positionnement et de blocage, les moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture de la porte, le système de transfert et la position de la porte.
    The device according to the invention for unloading reams of sheets of securities from the output of a production machine comprising at least one shelf with trays, is characterized in that it comprises:
    • a closed container, at least one of the walls of which has a door which can be opened and closed automatically,
    • means for positioning and blocking the container relative to the tray shelf,
    • means for opening and closing the door,
    • a transfer system for moving the trays carrying the trains from the shelf into the container,
    • an automatic system for controlling and controlling the positioning and locking means, the means for opening and closing the door, the transfer system and the position of the door.

    Les revendications dépendantes 7 à 12 définissent des modes d'exécution particuliers du dispositif selon l'invention.Dependent claims 7 to 12 define modes particular execution of the device according to the invention.

    L'un des avantages du dispositif selon l'invention est qu'il est entièrement modulaire de sorte qu'il peut se monter aussi bien sur de nouvelles machines de production de papiers-valeurs que sur des machines déjà en service.One of the advantages of the device according to the invention is that it is fully modular so it can stand fit on new production machines as well of securities only on machines already in service.

    La présente invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description d'un mode de réalisation et des dessins qui l'accompagnent.The present invention will be better understood thanks to the description of an embodiment and drawings which accompany it.

    Le principe du procédé de déchargement automatique est maintenant décrit en référence aux figures 1 à 4.The principle of the automatic unloading process is now described with reference to Figures 1 to 4.

    A la figure 1, une étagère à plateaux 31 d'une machine 34 de production de papiers-valeurs est munie des moyens de positionnement et de blocage 20 et d'un pousseur 41 qui seront décrits plus en détail dans la suite. Un premier plateau 32 est introduit dans l'étagère 31. Un conteneur 1 fermé et comportant une porte 6 est amené devant la sortie de l'étagère à plateaux 31. Le système de positionnement et de blocage 20 est rétracté. De plus, le pousseur 41 est rétracté au fond de l'étagère à plateaux 31. In FIG. 1, a tray shelf 31 of a machine 34 for the production of securities is provided with the means to positioning and blocking 20 and a pusher 41 which will be described in more detail below. A first tray 32 is introduced into shelf 31. A container 1 closed and having a door 6 is brought in front of the exit of the tray shelf 31. The positioning and blocking 20 is retracted. In addition, the pusher 41 is retracted to the bottom of the tray shelf 31.

    A la figure 2, la machine 34 est en production: les feuilles imprimées arrivent en haut de l'étagère à plateaux 31 entraínées par un système de chaíne à pinces et elles sont libérées dans l'étagère. L'étagère à plateaux 31 se remplit de rames de feuilles 36 sur les plateaux 32, l'ensemble des plateaux se décalant vers le bas lorsqu'un nouveau plateau est introduit sur les glissières du haut de l'étagère 31. Le conteneur 1 est positionné par rapport à l'étagère à plateaux 31 de la machine de production 34 et le pousseur 41 est toujours en position rétractée.In FIG. 2, the machine 34 is in production: the printed sheets arrive at the top of the tray shelf 31 driven by a clamp chain system and they are released in the shelf. The shelf shelf 31 is filled with reams of leaves 36 on the trays 32, all of the plates shifting downwards when new tray is introduced on the top slides the shelf 31. The container 1 is positioned relative to the tray shelf 31 of the production machine 34 and the pusher 41 is always in the retracted position.

    A la figure 3, le conteneur 1 est ajusté par indexage et verrouillé par rapport à l'étagère à plateaux 31 de la machine de production 34, la porte 6 du conteneur 1 a été ouverte et le pousseur 41 est en train ce transférer un ensemble de dix plateaux 32, portant chacun une rame de feuilles 36, par le côté ouvert de l'étagère à plateaux 31 dans le conteneur 1, tandis qu'un onzième plateau 32 se trouvant tout en haut dans l'étagère à plateaux 31 reçoit des feuilles imprimées qui vont constituer une nouvelle rame 35. Une fois le transfert terminé, la porte du conteneur 1 est refermée, le système de positionnement et de blocage 20 est retiré et le pousseur 41 revient au fond de l'étagère à plateaux 31.In FIG. 3, the container 1 is adjusted by indexing and locked in relation to the tray shelf 31 of the production machine 34, door 6 of container 1 has been open and pusher 41 is currently transferring a set of ten trays 32, each carrying a train of sheets 36, by the open side of the tray shelf 31 in container 1, while an eleventh tray 32 is located at the very top in the tray shelf 31 receives printed sheets that will constitute a new row 35. When the transfer is complete, the door to container 1 is closed, the positioning and blocking 20 is removed and pusher 41 returns to bottom of the shelf 31.

    A la figure 4, le conteneur 1 fermé et rempli de rames de feuilles 36 est emmené sur un transpalette alors que l'étagère à plateaux 31 de la machine 34 se remplit à nouveau de plateaux 32 et de rames de feuilles 36.In FIG. 4, the closed container 1 filled with oars of leaves 36 is taken on a pallet truck while the tray shelf 31 of the machine 34 fills with new of trays 32 and reams of sheets 36.

    Le conteneur 1 est décrit en référence aux figures 5 à 7. Il est entièrement fermé et comprend un cadre supportant quatre parois latérales 2, 3, 4 et 5, dont l'une comporte une porte 6 coulissant verticalement. Le conteneur comprend en outre des glissières horizontales 11, 12 se faisant face par paires pour recevoir les plateaux 32 portant les rames 36 de feuilles. L'écart vertical entre les glissières 11 et entre les glissières 12 correspond à l'écart vertical entre les supports des plateaux 32 dans l'étagère 31 de la machine de production 34.The container 1 is described with reference to Figures 5 to 7. It is fully closed and includes a supporting frame four side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5, one of which has a door 6 sliding vertically. The container includes further horizontal slides 11, 12 facing each other in pairs to receive the trays 32 carrying the oars 36 sheets. The vertical distance between the slides 11 and between the slides 12 corresponds to the vertical distance between the supports of the trays 32 in the shelf 31 of the production machine 34.

    Le conteneur 1 comporte également quatre pieds 8, 9, 14 et 15, un fond 13 et un plafond 10 fixés au cadre. La porte 6 s'enroule sur un support 16. Dans les figures 5 et 6, des rames 36 sur des plateaux 32 sont également représentées. De plus, les parois fixes de l'étagère peuvent être ajourées.The container 1 also has four legs 8, 9, 14 and 15, a bottom 13 and a ceiling 10 fixed to the frame. Gate 6 is wound on a support 16. In FIGS. 5 and 6, oars 36 on trays 32 are also shown. In addition, the fixed walls of the shelf can be openwork.

    Le cadre du conteneur est suffisamment rigide et solide pour supporter un empilement de plusieurs conteneurs remplis de rames de feuilles. En plus, le plafond 10 comporte des moyens (non représentés) pour recevoir les pieds des conteneurs lors de l'empilage de ceux-ci.The container frame is sufficiently rigid and solid to support a stack of several containers filled with oars of leaves. In addition, the ceiling 10 includes means (not shown) for receiving the container feet when stacking them.

    Les moyens de positionnement et de blocage 20 sont décrits en référence aux figures 8 à 10. Ces moyens 20 qui sont fixés au dessus de l'étagère à plateaux 31 de la machine 34 de production de papiers-valeurs comprennent un support 19 sur lequel sont montés deux index de positionnement 24, 25. Le support 19 est lui-même fixé sur l'étagère à plateaux de la machine de production 34 par l'intermédiaire de guidages verticaux 22, 23, par exemple des systèmes de glissières, permettant son déplacement dans le sens vertical, et ce déplacement est actionné par deux vérins pneumatiques 21, 21'.The positioning and blocking means 20 are described in reference to FIGS. 8 to 10. These means 20 which are fixed above the tray shelf 31 of the machine 34 production of securities include a support 19 on which are mounted two positioning indexes 24, 25. The support 19 is itself fixed on the tray shelf of the production machine 34 through guides vertical 22, 23, for example slide systems, allowing its displacement in the vertical direction, and this displacement is actuated by two pneumatic cylinders 21, 21 '.

    De manière avantageuse, les deux index 24, 25 peuvent en outre être montés sur des ressorts (non représentés), ce qui permet de compenser la position du conteneur 1 si le sol n'est pas plat.Advantageously, the two indexes 24, 25 can in addition to being mounted on springs (not shown), this which compensates for the position of container 1 if the ground is not flat.

    Des moyens d'ouverture et de fermeture de la porte du conteneur sont également fixés au support 19. Ces moyens comprennent au moins un moteur pneumatique 26, un entraíneur d'ouverture et de fermeture 27, un moyen de transmission entre le moteur 26 et l'entraíneur 27 et un limiteur de couple 30.Means for opening and closing the door of the container are also fixed to the support 19. These means comprise at least one pneumatic motor 26, one opening and closing coach 27, a means of transmission between the motor 26 and the coach 27 and a torque limiter 30.

    Le positionnement et le blocage du conteneur 1 par rapport à une étagère à plateaux 31 d'une machine de production 34 s'effectuent de la manière suivante: le conteneur 1 est amené en face de l'ouverture de l'étagère à plateaux 31, soit frontalement soit latéralement, et les deux pieds 8, 9 du conteneur côté machine 34 sont introduits dans deux cônes correspondants au sol (non représentés) et fixes par rapport à l'étagère à plateaux 31. Par autocentrage des pieds 8, 9 du conteneur 1 dans les cônes, la position de celui-ci par rapport à l'étagère à plateaux 31 est ainsi référencée.The positioning and blocking of the container 1 relative to a tray shelf 31 of a production machine 34 are carried out as follows: container 1 is brought in front of the opening of the tray shelf 31, either frontally or laterally, and the two feet 8, 9 from the machine side container 34 are fed into two cones corresponding to the ground (not shown) and fixed by compared to the shelf 31. By self-centering of the feet 8, 9 of container 1 in the cones, the position of this with respect to the tray shelf 31 is thus referenced.

    Le support 19 du système de positionnement 20 est ensuite abaissé le long des guidages 22, 23, au moyen des vérins pneumatiques 21, 21' et les index de positionnement 24, 25 pénètrent dans des orifices correspondants (non représentés) du conteneur 1. Une fois ces index 24, 25 en place, la position du conteneur 1 est bloquée par rapport à l'étagère à plateaux 31 de la machine de production 34 et le transfert des plateaux 32 peut s'opérer.The support 19 of the positioning system 20 is then lowered along the guides 22, 23, by means of the jacks tires 21, 21 'and the positioning indexes 24, 25 enter corresponding holes (not shown) of container 1. Once these indexes 24, 25 are place, the position of container 1 is blocked relative to the tray shelf 31 of the production machine 34 and the transfer of the plates 32 can take place.

    L'entraíneur d'ouverture et de fermeture 27 de porte doit encore être actionné par un moteur pneumatique 26 d'ouverture et fermeture de porte pour ouvrir la porte 6 du conteneur 1 par l'intermédiaire d'une courroie, par exemple.The door opening and closing drive 27 must still be powered by a pneumatic motor 26 door opening and closing to open door 6 of container 1 by means of a belt, by example.

    Le conteneur 1 comprend également des moyens permettant l'ouverture de sa porte 6 depuis l'extérieur. Le conteneur 1 représenté dans les figures 1 à 7 ayant une porte 6 s'enroulant dans sa partie supérieure, ces moyens peuvent être, par exemple, une vis sans fin verticale dont l'extrémité supérieure coopère avec l'entraíneur d'ouverture et de fermeture 27 et l'extrémité inférieure filetée entraíne un support horizontal 16 dans le conteneur 1 autour duquel la porte 6 s'enroule. En cas de problème lors de l'enroulement de la porte, un limiteur de couple 30 permet d'éviter une surcharge du moteur 26. Une fois que la porte 6 est entièrement ouverte, le transfert des plateaux 32 peut s'opérer et dès que celui-ci est terminé, la commande du moteur 26 est inversée et la porte 6 est refermée par l'intermédiaire de l'entraíneur d'ouverture et de fermeture 27.The container 1 also includes means allowing the opening of its door 6 from the outside. The container 1 shown in Figures 1 to 7 having a door 6 winding in its upper part, these means can be, for example, a vertical worm which the upper end cooperates with the coach opening and closing 27 and the lower end threaded causes a horizontal support 16 in the container 1 around which the door 6 is wound. In case of problem when the door is rolled up, a torque limiter 30 avoids overloading the motor 26. Once the door 6 is fully open, the transfer of the trays 32 can take place and as soon as it is finished, the motor control 26 is reversed and door 6 is closed through the opening coach and closing 27.

    Dans une variante particulière, un doigt de sécurité 28 est ajouté, ce doigt maintenant les moyens de positionnement et de blocage en position relevée au cas où l'alimentation en air comprimé des moyens de positionnement et de blocage 20 est interrompue.In a particular variant, a security finger 28 is added, this finger now the means of positioning and blockage in raised position in case the air supply compressed positioning and blocking means 20 is interrupted.

    A la figure 9, l'index 25 est en outre représenté en traits mixtes dans sa position abaissée, position qui permet le blocage du conteneur.In FIG. 9, the index 25 is also represented in lines mixed in its lowered position, position which allows the container blocking.

    Le système de transfert est décrit maintenant en référence aux figures 11, 12 et 13. Ce système de transfert 40 comprend un pousseur 41 en forme de montant vertical, deux châssis 42 et 43 horizontaux reliés entre eux par un rail de guidage 44 sur lequel le pousseur 41 est fixé et se déplace. Pour entraíner le pousseur 41 le long du rail de guidage 44, le système comporte en outre une vis à billes 45 disposée parallèlement au rail de guidage 44. La vis à billes 45 elle-même est, à l'une de ses extrémités, reliée à une transmission crantée 48 reliée à un moteur 46 par l'intermédiaire d'un arbre de transmission 49 et d'un limiteur de couple de sécurité 47. L'ensemble du système de transfert 40 est monté à l'intérieur de chaque étagère à plateaux d'un machine de production de papiers-valeurs et lorsque l'étagère doit être vidée dans un conteneur, préalablement indexé et bloqué comme décrit ci-dessus, une commande appropriée démarre le moteur 46 qui, en entraínant la vis à billes 45 par la transmission, fait déplacer le pousseur 41 le long du rail de guidage 44. Ce déplacement du pousseur 41 transfère toutes les plateaux de l'étagère à plateaux 31 dans le conteneur 1 en une seule passe. Une fois le transfert des plateaux effectué, la rotation du moteur 46 est inversée et le pousseur 41 revient en arrière le long du rail 44.The transfer system is now described with reference Figures 11, 12 and 13. This transfer system 40 includes a pusher 41 in the form of a vertical upright, two horizontal chassis 42 and 43 interconnected by a rail guide 44 on which the pusher 41 is fixed and moves. To drive the pusher 41 along the rail guide 44, the system also includes a ball screw 45 arranged parallel to the guide rail 44. The screw balls 45 itself is, at one of its ends, connected to a notched transmission 48 connected to a motor 46 by through a transmission shaft 49 and a safety torque limiter 47. The entire transmission system transfer 40 is mounted inside each shelf trays of a paper production machine and when the shelf must be emptied into a container, previously indexed and blocked as described above, a appropriate control starts the motor 46 which, by driving the ball screw 45 by the transmission, causes the pusher 41 along the guide rail 44. This displacement of pusher 41 transfers all the trays from the shelf to trays 31 in container 1 in a single pass. A Once the trays have been transferred, the rotation of the motor 46 is reversed and pusher 41 goes back along rail 44.

    Dans la figure 12, deux tôles de protection 50, 51 sont en outre représentées, la tôle 51 permettant de protéger le moteur 46 d'entraínement du pousseur 41.In FIG. 12, two protective sheets 50, 51 are in besides shown, the sheet 51 making it possible to protect the motor 46 for driving the pusher 41.

    Pour permettre l'automatisation du procédé, une unité de commande et de contrôle est utilisée ainsi que des moyens de contrôle, des moyens de commande et des moyens de transmission. L'unité de commande et de contrôle permet de déterminer les commandes à exécuter, par exemple l'abaissement du système de positionnement et de blocage, l'ouverture de la porte, le déplacement du pousseur, la fermeture de la porte ou la libération du conteneur. Cette unité peut être un calculateur. Les moyens de contrôle permettent de contrôler qu'une commande peut être exécutée ou a été exécutée. Ces moyens comprennent par exemple des capteurs de position associés aux éléments mobiles du dispositif. Les moyens de transmission, tels que des câbles et des circuits pneumatiques, permettent de transmettre les commandes de l'unité de commande et de contrôle vers les actionneurs et de recevoir les informations issues des moyens de contrôle.To allow the automation of the process, a unit of command and control is used as well as means control, control means and means of transmission. The command and control unit allows determine the commands to be executed, for example lowering the positioning and locking system, opening the door, moving the pusher, closing the door or releasing the container. This unit can be a calculator. The means of control allow to control that a command can be executed or has been executed. These means include for example position sensors associated with the mobile elements of the device. Transmission means, such as cables and pneumatic circuits, allow the transmission of commands from the command and control unit to the actuators and receive information from Control measures.

    L'un des avantages du dispositif selon l'invention est qu'il est parfaitement modulaire. En effet, le système de positionnement peut sans autre être placé sur une machine de production de papiers-valeurs existante puisqu'il suffit de le monter au dessus de l'étagère à plateaux et de raccorder les élément pneumatiques sur le réseau d'air comprimé déjà présent sur ces machines de production. D'autre part, le système de transfert peut s'intégrer dans les étagères à plateaux des machines de production existantes.One of the advantages of the device according to the invention is that it is perfectly modular. Indeed, the system positioning can without other be placed on a machine production of existing securities since it suffices to mount it above the shelf and connect the pneumatic elements on the compressed air network already present on these production machines. On the other hand, the transfer system can be integrated into the shelves platforms of existing production machines.

    Les modes d'exécution sont donnés à titre d'exemple et des variations sont possibles dans le cadre de l'invention revendiquée. Par exemple, les étagères de la machine de production peuvent aussi être équipées d'une porte coulissante. Celle-ci ne pourra alors être ouverte que lorsqu'un conteneur sera indexé et verrouillé et elle sera refermée après la porte du conteneur. Cette construction permet de créer une sorte de sas pour les feuilles imprimées qui ne seront à aucun moment libre d'accès.
    De plus, le porte du conteneur peut s'enrouler verticalement sur un côté du conteneur plutôt qu'horizontalement en haut du conteneur.
    Le conteneur peut également comporter une deuxième porte similaire à la première et placée sur la paroi lui faisant face. Cette exécution permettrait de diminuer les manipulations du conteneur lors de son déchargement.    The embodiments are given by way of example and variations are possible within the framework of the claimed invention. For example, the shelves of the production machine can also be fitted with a sliding door. This can only be opened when a container is indexed and locked and it will be closed after the container door. This construction makes it possible to create a sort of airlock for the printed sheets which will at no time be free to access.
    In addition, the container door can be rolled up vertically on one side of the container rather than horizontally at the top of the container.
    The container may also include a second door similar to the first and placed on the wall facing it. This would reduce handling of the container during unloading.
