Definitions
- the present invention relates to a parts handling device intended for load and unload coils of sheet metal between a storage area and a machine for example of the reel type, this device being arranged to be mounted on a handling device comprising at least one fixed mast and a movable deck vertically along the mast and carrying forks.
- the invention applies more specifically to the handling of sheet metal coils commonly called “coils” of width less than or equal to about 700 mm, but can of course extend to other heavy, bulky and difficult products to handle.
- sheet metal coils are generally stored flat, by the companies of cutting, on pallets or on planks assembled to form a support for transport. They are stacked on top of each other and separated from each other by wooden slats with variable sections, for example from 25 to 50 mm.
- This coil-pallet assembly is stored for example in a storage rack and transported in the traditional way by a forklift truck and deposited at near the reel which is, in this specific case, a reel with horizontal shaft.
- a first technique consists of a monorail beam equipped with a winch which allows, thanks to a sling, the gripping of the reel, its change of axes, i.e. its passage from the vertical axis to the horizontal axis by a tilting of 90 °, and its mounting on the reel mandrel.
- This technique requires several manual interventions by the operator, often dangerous continued possible shocks and the fact that the reel, which is split, may be sharp.
- a second technique which is the most widespread, consists in the direct taking of the coil by one of the forks of the forklift. This manipulation requires a lot of dexterity on the part of the operator with the risk that the reel will escape from fork and fall to the ground.
- a third technique consists in equipping a forklift with a device for specific grip as described in publications US-A-3,991,893 and GB-A-1 260 474.
- the forklift can no longer be used for other purposes, the gripping device being permanently mounted on said carriage. That is, with the same forklift, the operator cannot both move the reel pallets and load the reels on the reel.
- the majority of users of sheet metal coils require their suppliers to wind the coils.
- the winding direction of the spool is considered correct for supply the reel, and the production line located downstream, if the underside of the coil, when delivered flat, corresponds to the bearing face on the mandrel of the reel.
- suppliers do not always respect the meaning of winding requested by their customers. It is therefore necessary to turn the coil half a turn when it is in the raised position, its axis being horizontal. But this operation is dangerous for the operator due to the weight of the coil and the risk fall.
- the aim of the present invention is to propose a technical solution allowing a single operator, operating a single, standard cart-type device forklift equipped with a specific handling device, ensuring the stacking the pallets of reels, transporting the pallets near the reel and loading and unloading of the reels on the reel, without any intervention manual, safe for the operator and the equipment, and in a limited time.
- Another object of the invention is to arrange the specific handling device on said forklift so that it can work normally with all its capacities and functions, when the handling device is not in working position.
- Yet another object of the invention is to be able to choose the direction of lifting of the reels so that they can be returned if necessary, especially if they are positioned upside down on the pallet, the correct side of the spool being above.
- the invention relates to a device as defined in the preamble, which device comprises at least one support arranged to be mounted on the apron of the handling device so as to be able to use said handling device handling, at least one gripping member of a reel to be handled, a frame connecting the gripping member to said support and control means, the gripping member being articulated relative to said frame about a first axis pivoting and the frame being articulated relative to said support around a second pivot axis, the first and second pivot axes being parallel and distant from each other in such a way that when using the handling device, the support being mounted on the bulkhead of the handling, the control means act on the frame from said support to tilt it around the second pivot axis between a position of work, in which the gripping member extends from the first axis of pivoting between the forks of the handling device so that the gripping is in a condition to suspend the reel to be handled below the handling equipment forks, and a rest position, in which at the both the gripping member

- figure 10B : l'opérateur bascule le dispositif de manutention 100 dans sa position de travail, en actionnant le levier de commande du vérin 400, qui peut être hydraulique, prévu sur le pupitre de commande,
- figure 10C : le dispositif de manutention 100 est en position de travail, la tige 430 du vérin étant en position rentrée,
- figure 10D : l'opérateur tourne à vide le crochet 220 de 180° pour placer la petite branche 240 du crochet vers l'arrière, en actionnant le levier de commande du vérin 620, qui peut être hydraulique, prévu sur le pupitre de commande,
- figure 10E : l'opérateur avance le chariot élévateur 1 pour amener le crochet 220 au-dessus de la palette 50,
- figure 10F : l'opérateur descend le tablier 5 du chariot élévateur 1 pour abaisser le crochet 220 à l'intérieur de la première bobine 51,
- figure 10G : l'opérateur recule légèrement le chariot élévateur 1 pour glisser la petite branche 240 du crochet 22 sous la première bobine 51. Cette opération n'est possible que grâce à la rigidité du crochet 220 dans l'espace, qui est comme expliqué ci-dessus obtenue par l'ensemble rigide formé par le palonnier 250 en appui sur les fourches 6, les biellettes 320, la platine 500 et le vérin 400.
- figure 10H : une fois en position, l'opérateur remonte le tablier 5 pour soulever la bobine 51 qui se tourne sous l'effet de la gravité,
- figure 10I : la bobine 51 s'est tournée de 90°. Elle se présente verticalement et son axe horizontalement.
- figure 10J : l'opérateur dégage le chariot élévateur 1 de la palette 50,
- figure 10K : l'opérateur abaisse à nouveau le tablier 5 pour poser la bobine 51 au sol sur une génératrice,
- figure 10L : l'opérateur avance légèrement le chariot élévateur 1 pour dégager le crochet 220 de la bobine 51,
- figure 10M : l'opérateur tourne à vide le crochet 220 de 180° en sens inverse pour ramener la petite branche 240 du crochet vers l'avant,
- figure 10N : l'opérateur avance le chariot élévateur 1 pour engager à nouveau le crochet 220 dans la bobine 51,
- figure 100 : l'opérateur remonte le tablier 5 et avance le chariot élévateur 1 vers le dévidoir 60 en portant la bobine 51 prête à être chargée, cette dernière présentant le bon côté,
- figure 10P : l'opérateur avance le chariot élévateur 1 dans l'axe du dévidoir 60 pour placer la bobine 51 sur le mandrin 61 du dévidoir. La faible largeur de la petite branche 240 du crochet 220 lui permet de se glisser directement entre les mors du mandrin.
- figure 10Q : quand le chargement est terminé, l'opérateur recule le chariot élévateur 1 pour dégager le crochet 220 du mandrin 61 du dévidoir.
- réduction des moyens de manutention dans l'atelier de découpage des tôles étant
donné qu'un seul appareil suffit pour :
- décharger les camions,
- charger les palettes de bobines dans les râteliers de stockage,
- charger les mandrins de dévidoirs à arbres horizontaux,
- manutentionner les palettes et les containers divers de l'atelier,
- réduction des temps de chargement des dévidoirs à arbres horizontaux grâce au passage instantané d'un appareil universel à un appareil spécifique au chargement des mandrins et inversement par simple manoeuvre d'un levier sur le pupitre de commande,
- modification à volonté des lignes de découpage étant donné que les moyens de manutention n'affectent pas la structure du bâtiment.
