Definitions

  • the present invention relates to distribution and storage of gas cylinders accessible directly by a user / consumer, of the type comprising at least one enclosed space equipped controlled access means and containing housing or cells reception of bottles.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an installation automated, simplified and secure, with low investment and management.
  • the space comprises at least one pair of parallel racks each comprising at least one series of cells opening respectively in a first and a second opposite directions, and at least one pair of facing cameras respectively in the first and second directions to take each views of the alveoli opening towards them.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown an installation typically comprising first and second closed spaces 1 and 2, adjacent in the mode of shown, but not necessarily joined, covered by a roof 3 and delimited peripherally by walls provided with ventilation openings and / or simply wire mesh.
  • Physical access to each space 1,2 by a person is only possible with a pivoting or sliding door 4,5, respectively, each provided with closing / opening means at electromagnetic control.
  • each space 1 is arranged at least one, typically two parallel double-sided racks defining, on either side of a partition rigid median fixed to the ground, a series of housings or cells 7 of reception and housing of bottles 8.
  • Each space also includes, advantageously, on the side walls parallel to the double-sided racks, single-sided racks 9 comprising the same cells 7 but on a single row opening towards the interior of the space.
  • each space has at minus one pair (typically two pairs) of facing cameras 10 and 10 ' having in their field, for the camera on the left side (10) in FIG. 1 all the cells opening to the left of the space, and for the camera located on the side right (10 ') in Figure 1, all the cells opening to the right.
  • Each space 1, 2 also comprises presence or presence detectors. Movement inside space, volumetric type 11 and / or radius luminous 12, coupled with visual and / or audible alarms on site and a remote monitoring station controlling several sites. Each space 1,2 furthermore has its own lighting means 13.
  • each space 1, 2 is dedicated, one to full bottles (space 1 in Figure 1) available to users, the other (space 2 in Figure 1) for the storage of empty bottles brought back by the users. Access to spaces is therefore decoupled and controlled, on the one hand, by a common identification station forming a user interface 14, and by a proximity reader 15 for each door 4.5.
  • the central station 14 includes a card reader and / or input keyboard 15 and a printer 16 for delivering a delivery sheet.
  • the installation according to the invention avoids the user having to ask questions about the bottles full or empty in the same space and eliminates the restitution sequences, customer actions that can be performed in any order: delivery of empty bottles and removal of full bottles, or Conversely, with the possibility of consulting the gas selection guide at central station to get a substitute product in case of a stock insufficient in situ of a certain product.
  • By removing systems individual bottle locking mechanisms the customer can access freely and easily to all full bottles of space 1 as soon as its access to the latter has been authorized.
  • Printing a delivery note advantageously in A4 format, provides a manifesto for the transport of bottles (required by national regulations) as well as proof of the transaction carried out (for client accounting).
  • the presence of cameras 10, 10 ′ and detectors of presence 11,12 ensures, at lower cost, active security based on the deterrence.
  • the use of presence detectors makes it possible to identify the presence of an intruder (who has not previously identified himself), photograph by cameras and then ensure that all users are left the spaces before the end of the transaction, which allows, as above, to trigger the end of this transaction in the event of inactivity prolonged, when the user leaves without formally closing their transaction at the central station.
  • facing cameras and double-sided racks provides a compact solution at low cost, allowing including splitting cameras and video cards to protect yourself, thanks to this redundancy, against the risk of failure of one of these equipment.
