Abstract

The lifting mechanism includes a support plate through which lifting bars (5) pass. The bars are arranged to pivot, so that when moved they act to separate bread from the plates on which it has been supported in an automatic handling system. The lifting mechanism for products held on a support plate includes a lifting bar (5) arranged such that it passes through a slot (4) formed in the plate. The plate on which the items are carried is plane, with an upturned edge (3), with the slots in the plate extending through the plane region. The lifting bars pivot about an axis (6) perpendicular to the slots, situated beneath the supporting plane of the plate. A number of the lifting bars may be coupled to a linked lever system, so that they may be operated simultaneously. Once the lifting mechanism has been operated, separating the item from the supporting plate, the item may then slide off the plate as part of a mechanised transport system.

Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de soulèvement d'un produit placé sur une plaque.The invention relates to a device for lifting a product placed on a plate.

Les distributeurs de produits prêts à consommer trouvent de plus en plus d'utilisation. Ces distributeurs peuvent distribuer des produits prêts à consommer qu'ils stockent, comme par exemple les distributeurs des documents FR 2 614 714 et EP 0 368 699 A1. Ces distributeurs automatiques stockent dans des compartiments ou sur de tôles situés dans un magasin de stockage des baguettes prêtes à la consommation. A la demande, par exemple suite à l'introduction de monnaie dans le distributeur, un pain est prélevé du dispositif de stockage et il est transporté dans un réceptacle d'où il peut être pris par l'utilisateur. Or, le pain ne supporte pas d'être stocké plus que quelques heures, sans quoi, en fonction des conditions climatiques, il sèche ou au contraire il se ramollit. Ces distributeurs nécessitent de stocker le pain déjà cuit pendant un certain temps, de sorte qu'il faut soit fréquemment approvisionner le distributeur (plusieurs fois par jour), soit prendre le risque de proposer du pain d'une qualité inférieure après quelques heures de stockage. De plus, il se produit une perte importante due au rebut de pains invendus dans le délai fixé pour le respect des conditions d'hygiène et de qualité. Il serait donc préférable de présenter à tout moment au client un pain fraíchement cuit. Il faut pour cela que la cuisson finale du pain soit réalisée peu de temps avant sa distribution, ce qui implique d'utiliser du pain précuit ou congelé.Distributors of ready-to-eat products are finding more and more use. These distributors can distribute ready-to-eat products that they store, such as for example the distributors of the documents FR 2 614 714 and EP 0 368 699 A1. These vending machines store in compartments or on sheets located in a store for storing baguettes ready for consumption. On demand, for example following the introduction of money into the machine, a loaf is taken from the storage and it is transported in a receptacle from where it can be taken by the user. However, the bread does not support being stored for more than a few hours, otherwise, depending on the climatic conditions, it dries or on the contrary it softens. These distributors require store the already baked bread for a while, so that it needs to be frequently supply the distributor (several times a day), or take the risk of offering lower quality bread after a few hours of storage. In addition, there is a significant loss due to the scrap of unsold bread within the time limit set for compliance with hygienic and quality conditions. It would therefore be preferable to present at any time customer freshly baked bread. This requires that the final baking of the bread be carried out little long before its distribution, which means using pre-baked or frozen bread.

On connaít également des distributeurs qui assurent la finition du produit distribué. C'est ainsi qu'on connaít du document US 4,944,218 un distributeur de hamburgers qui se charge, à partir de viande hachée ou de steaks hachés congelés, de demis petits pains et de différentes sauces, dans une première étape de reconstituer et de cuire un steak, puis de confectionner un hamburger avant de l'emballer dans un sachet. On connaít également du document EP 0 708 421 A1 un automate à pizzas qui confectionne sur demande une pizza à partir de pâte à pizza et de composants classiques. Du document US 6,065,390 on connaít également un appareil pour préparer des morceaux de pâte à pain ayant pour objectif d'assurer un déplacement contrôlé des morceaux de pâte.We also know distributors who ensure the finish of the product distributed. It is as is known from document US Pat. No. 4,944,218, a hamburger distributor which is responsible, from ground meat or frozen ground steaks, half buns and different sauces, in a first step to reconstitute and cook a steak, then make a hamburger before packing it in a sachet. We also know document EP 0 708 421 A1 a pizza vending machine which makes a pizza on request from pizza dough and classic components. Document US 6,065,390 we know also an apparatus for preparing pieces of bread dough for the purpose to ensure a controlled movement of the pieces of dough.

Cependant, certains composants sont relativement collants avant leur cuisson finale. Si on les pose sur un support, ils risquent d'y adhérer et de ne pas poursuivre le déplacement prévu par le procédé de fabrication. C'est le cas notamment de la pâte à pain précuite ou congelée qui est relativement collante. Ce phénomène est accentué par le faite que le pain précuit doit être conservé à une température basse, ce qui risque de produire des phénomènes de condensation qui, associés aux résidus de farines, renforcent l'effet d'adhérence. Or, aucun de ces automates de préparation précités ne se préoccupe du risque d'adhésion d'une des matières premières. Notamment, il ne serait pas possible d'utiliser directement pour un produit collant telle que du pain précuit un dispositif de prélèvement selon EP 0 368 699 dans un automate de cuisson du type de celui décrit dans EP 0 708 421 ou US 4,944,218, sans risquer de voir le système se bloquer en raison de l'adhérence du pain sur les tôles de stockage, empêchant l'approvisionnement des crochets de prélèvement.However, some components are relatively sticky before their final cooking. Yes they are placed on a support, they risk adhering to it and not continuing the movement provided by the manufacturing process. This is particularly the case for pre-baked bread dough or frozen which is relatively sticky. This phenomenon is accentuated by the fact that the bread precooked should be stored at a low temperature, which may cause condensation phenomena which, associated with flour residues, reinforce the effect adhesion. None of these aforementioned preparation machines are concerned with the risk. of adhesion of one of the raw materials. In particular, it would not be possible to use directly for a sticky product such as pre-baked bread a sampling device according to EP 0 368 699 in a cooking automaton of the type described in EP 0 708 421 or US 4,944,218, without risking the system freezing due to the adhesion of the bread on the storage plates, preventing the supply of the sampling hooks.

L'objectif est donc de développer un dispositif qui permette de soulever un produit d'un support sur lequel il est placé pour permettre par exemple de le décoller dudit support.The objective is therefore to develop a device which makes it possible to lift a product from a support on which it is placed to allow for example to take it off from said support.

Cet objectif est atteint conformément à l'invention par le fait que la plaque est munie d'au moins une fente et d'au moins un élément de soulèvement disposé de telle sorte qu'il peut passer au travers de la fente pour soulever un produit placé à cheval sur la fente. Ainsi, dans le cas d'un distributeur de pains utilisant comme matière première du pain précuit ou du pain congelé, il est possible de stocker un grand nombre de pains sur une plaque et de provoquer leur décollement au moment où ils doivent glisser vers le dispositif de prélèvement afin d'être cuits.This objective is achieved in accordance with the invention by the fact that the plate is provided at least one slot and at least one lifting element arranged so that it can pass through the slit to lift a product placed astride the slit. So, in the case of a bread distributor using precooked bread or frozen bread, it is possible to store a large number of breads on a plate and cause them to peel off when they have to slide towards the sampling device in order to be cooked.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation, la plaque est essentiellement plane et présente un bord relevé du côté du soulèvement, la ou les fentes s'étendant principalement dans la partie plane de la plaque tout en se prolongeant sur une partie au moins du bord relevé. On peut incliner la plaque pour que les produits placés sur la plaque aient tendance à descendre vers le bord relevé lorsqu'ils sont soulevés, un dispositif pouvant être prévu pour arrêter le produit le plus bas dans une position de prélèvement.In a first embodiment, the plate is essentially flat and has a raised edge on the side of the lift, the slot or slots extending mainly in the flat part of the plate while extending over at least part of the raised edge. We can tilt the plate so that the products placed on the plate tend to descend towards the raised edge when they are raised, a device may be provided to stop the lowest product in a picking position.

Il est préférable que le ou les éléments de soulèvement pivotent autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à la ou les fentes et situé au-dessus du plan formé par la partie essentiellement plane de la plaque. Ainsi, en position de repos, l'élément de soulèvement est situé en dessous de la plaque. Lors du soulèvement, l'élément de soulèvement pivote autour de son axe et passe à travers de la fente jusqu'à atteindre une position sensiblement parallèle au plan défini par la partie plane de la plaque tout en soulevant les produits situés sur la plaque à cheval sur la fente correspondante. It is preferable that the lifting element (s) pivot around an axis perpendicular to the slot (s) and located above the plane formed by the part essentially plane of the plate. Thus, in the rest position, the lifting element is located below the plate. When lifting, the lifting element pivots around of its axis and passes through the slot until it reaches a substantially parallel position to the plane defined by the flat part of the plate while lifting the products located on the plate straddling the corresponding slot.

Dans un mode privilégié de réalisation de l'invention, l'axe autour duquel pivotent le ou les éléments de soulèvement est placé dans le bord relevé de la plaque. On a ainsi un dispositif relativement compact.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the axis around which the or the lifting elements is placed in the raised edge of the plate. We thus have a relatively compact device.

Dans un second mode de réalisation, le ou les éléments de soulèvement sont munis de moyens d'actionnement configurés de telle sorte que les éléments de soulèvement restent dans un plan sensiblement parallèle à la plaque lors de leur mouvement de soulèvement. Ici, l'élément de soulèvement ne pivote plus autour d'un axe mais il est déplacé de sorte à rester parallèle à la plaque. Pour cela, il est préférable que le ou les éléments de soulèvement soient reliés chacun à au moins deux biellettes pivotant chacune autour d'un axe et solidaires d'une tige actionnée d'un mouvement de translation. Ainsi, lorsque la tige est actionnée, les biellettes sont relevées ainsi que l'élément de soulèvement qui passe à travers la fente et soulève les produits situés à cheval sur la fente.In a second embodiment, the lifting element or elements are provided with actuating means configured so that the lifting elements remain in a plane substantially parallel to the plate during their lifting movement. Here, the lifting element no longer pivots around an axis but is moved so as to remain parallel to the plate. For this, it is preferable that the lifting element (s) are each connected to at least two rods each pivoting about an axis and integral a rod actuated with a translational movement. Thus, when the rod is actuated, the links are raised as well as the lifting element which passes through the slot and raises the products located astride the slot.

Il est préférable que la plaque soit une tôle munie d'au moins une fente ou une grille formée d'une pluralité de barreaux. En outre, il est préférable que le ou les éléments de soulèvement soient formés d'une plaque ou d'un barreau. Il est tout à fait possible de combiner une tôle avec des barreaux ou une grille avec une plaque.It is preferable that the plate is a sheet provided with at least one slot or a grid formed of a plurality of bars. In addition, it is preferable that the element (s) of uplifts are formed of a plate or a bar. It is entirely possible to combine a sheet with bars or a grid with a plate.

Le dispositif de soulèvement est particulièrement destiné à être monté dans un dispositif de prélèvement automatique, notamment dans un distributeur automatique incluant la cuisson d'un produit non fini.The lifting device is particularly intended to be mounted in a device direct debit, especially in a vending machine including cooking of an unfinished product.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention présenté aux figures 1 et 2, la plaque est constituée d'une tôle (1) ayant une partie principale (2) sensiblement plane avec un bord relevé (3) en direction du côté du soulèvement. La tôle présente deux fentes (4) s'étendant sur toute la partie principale plane (2) et se prolongeant sur une partie du bord relevé (3). Les fentes (4) sont sensiblement perpendiculaires au bord relevé (3). Deux barreaux (5) sont articulés chacun autour d'un axe (6) placé dans la fente (4), perpendiculairement à celle-ci, dans la zone du bord relevé (3). Chaque barreau (5) peut donc pivoter autour de l'axe (6) de sorte à passer à travers la fente. En position basse, les barreaux se trouvent sous le plan défini par la tangente au bord relevé (3) passant par l'axe (6). En position haute, les barreaux (5) se trouvent au-dessus de la partie principale plane (2) de la tôle (1). Cette position est représentée en pointillés sur la figure 1. Les produits situés sur la tôle (1) à cheval sur les fentes (4) se trouvent ainsi soulevés. Il est donc possible de décoller un produit adhérant à la tôle comme par exemple une baguette précuite. En inclinant la partie principale plane comme le montre la figure 1, les produits soulevés auront tendance à glisser vers le bas. Ainsi, à chaque fois que le produit le plus bas de la tôle est prélevé, les autres situés en amont pourront glisser jusqu'à une butée constituée dans l'exemple présenté par un pli supplémentaire (7). Lors du prélèvement du produit le plus bas, le dispositif de soulèvement est mis en marche pour décoller les produits qui adhèrent sur la tôle (1). Les produits glissent alors vers le bas jusqu'à ce que le produit le plus bas s'arrête sur la butée, bloquant ainsi les produits en amont. Les barreaux (5) formant les éléments de soulèvement peuvent être mis en mouvement par un système de tringlerie (8) qui peut être actionné par exemple par une came.In a first embodiment of the invention presented in Figures 1 and 2, the plate consists of a sheet (1) having a main part (2) substantially planar with a raised edge (3) towards the lifting side. The sheet has two slots (4) extending over the entire flat main part (2) and extending over part of the edge statement (3). The slots (4) are substantially perpendicular to the raised edge (3). Of them bars (5) are each articulated around an axis (6) placed in the slot (4), perpendicular to it, in the area of the raised edge (3). Each bar (5) can therefore pivot around the axis (6) so as to pass through the slot. In the low position, the bars lie under the plane defined by the tangent to the raised edge (3) passing through the axis (6). In the high position, the bars (5) are located above the flat main part (2) sheet metal (1). This position is represented by dotted lines in FIG. 1. The products located on the sheet (1) straddling the slots (4) are thus raised. It is therefore possible to peel off a product adhering to the sheet, for example a precooked baguette. By tilting the main plane part as shown in Figure 1, the raised products will tend to slide down. Thus, each time the lowest product in the sheet is removed, the others located upstream can slide to a stop constituted in the example presented by an additional fold (7). When collecting the lowest product, the lifting is started to take off the products which adhere to the sheet (1). The products then slide down until the lowest product stops on the stop, thus blocking the products upstream. The bars (5) forming the lifting elements can be set in motion by a linkage system (8) which can be actuated by example by a cam.

La tôle peut être munie en outre de fentes supplémentaires (9) pour permettre le passage de norias (43) qui prélèveront le produit le plus bas.The sheet may also be provided with additional slots (9) to allow the passage of norias (43) which will collect the lowest product.

Il est possible de superposer plusieurs tôles (1) les unes sur les autres pour augmenter la capacité de stockage. Les barreaux (5) formant les éléments de soulèvement peuvent êtres solidaires les uns des autres, de sorte qu'ils sont tous ensemble en position haute de soulèvement ou en position basse.It is possible to stack several sheets (1) on top of each other to increase storage capacity. The bars (5) forming the lifting elements can beings in solidarity with each other, so that they are all together in a high position of lifting or low position.

Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention présenté aux figures 3, 4 et 5, la plaque est constituée d'une première grille (21) composée d'une pluralité de barreaux (22). Les espaces entre les barreaux (22) constituent des fentes (24). Le dispositif de soulèvement est constitué également d'une pluralité de barreaux (25), chacun relié à une paire de biellettes (26). Les barreaux (25) forment ainsi une seconde grille. Une tige (28) qui coopère avec l'une des paires de biellettes (26) est animée d'un mouvement de translation qui fait pivoter les biellettes (26) vers le haut en soulevant les barreaux (25) au-dessus des barreaux (22) de la grille support (21). Les produits placés sur la grille support (21) sont donc soulevés et décollés de la grille support (21) de sorte qu'ils peuvent glisser vers le bas, lorsque le produit le plus bas est prélevé par la noria (43).In a second embodiment of the invention presented in Figures 3, 4 and 5, the plate consists of a first grid (21) composed of a plurality of bars (22). The spaces between the bars (22) constitute slots (24). The lifting device also consists of a plurality of bars (25), each connected to a pair of rods (26). The bars (25) thus form a second grid. A rod (28) which cooperates with one pairs of rods (26) is driven in a translational movement which rotates the rods (26) upwards by lifting the bars (25) above the bars (22) of the support grid (21). The products placed on the support grid (21) are therefore lifted and detached from the support grid (21) so that they can slide downwards when the product the lowest is taken by the noria (43).

Le dispositif de soulèvement peut être utilisé par exemple pour soulever des baguettes comme le montre la figure 5. Il peut être également utilisé pour toute sorte de pain précuit ou congelé, y compris les petits pains. Il peut de façon générale être utilisé pour tout produit risquant de coller à son support.The lifting device can be used for example to lift rods as shown in figure 5. It can also be used for any kind of pre-baked bread or frozen, including rolls. It can generally be used for any product risking sticking to its support.

Il va de soi qu'à la place de barreaux (5, 25), on peut utiliser une plaque en guise d'élément de soulèvement. Il est également possible que les barreaux (5) du premier mode de réalisation ne dépassent pas le haut de la tôle, de sorte que les fentes (4) sont fermées en haut de la tôle.It goes without saying that instead of bars (5, 25), a plate can be used as a lifting element. It is also possible that the bars (5) of the first mode do not extend beyond the top of the sheet, so that the slots (4) are closed in top of the sheet.

Le dispositif de soulèvement selon l'invention est particulièrement bien adapté pour le stockage de pains précuits ou congelés dans un automate de cuisson tel que celui présenté à la figure 6. Les baguettes précuites sont stockées par exemple sur des grilles selon le deuxième mode de réalisation. Ces grilles sont placées dans une chambre froide afin d'assurer la qualité du produit. Entre deux prélèvements de baguettes, le dispositif de soulèvement est mis en marche. Dans le cas présent, une butée (41) fixée à une chaíne (42) portant des norias (43) pousse la tige (28), provoquant le soulèvement des barreaux (25) formant la grille de soulèvement. Les baguettes sont décollées et tendent à glisser vers le bas de la grille support (21). Le rebord (27) des barreaux (22) de la grille (21) bloque ce mouvement de descente. Une fois la butée (41) passée, les barreaux (25) de la grille de soulèvement retombent en position basse. La noria suivante peut donc prélever une nouvelle baguette. Les baguettes précuites ainsi prélevées sont ensuite placées sur un tapis roulant qui le fait passer dans un four où elles finissent de cuire. Une fois cuites, les baguettes sont placées dans un réceptacle.The lifting device according to the invention is particularly well suited for the storage of pre-baked or frozen breads in a baking machine such as the one presented at Figure 6. The precooked baguettes are stored for example on racks according to the second embodiment. These grids are placed in a cold room so to ensure the quality of the product. Between two baguette samples, the uprising is started. In the present case, a stop (41) fixed to a chain (42) carrying norias (43) pushes the rod (28), causing the lifting of the bars (25) forming the lifting grid. The rods are detached and tend to slide down of the support grid (21). The rim (27) of the bars (22) of the grid (21) blocks this downward movement. Once the stop (41) has passed, the bars (25) of the lifting fall back down. The following noria can therefore collect a new baguette. The pre-cooked baguettes thus removed are then placed on a conveyor belt which puts it in an oven where they finish cooking. Once cooked, the baguettes are placed in a receptacle.

Le mode de fonctionnement du distributeur de pains selon la figure 6 est le suivant :

  • stockage des baguettes semi-fini sur les plaques (21) dans une chambre froide (A),
  • décollement des baguettes des plaques (21) de la chambre froide (A) par un système mécanisé conforme à l'invention avec mise en service de la noria (43) dans la chambre froide (A) sur demande la chambre de stockage (C),
  • transit du pain vers le four (B) pour la cuisson finale,
  • stockage du produit fini dans la chambre de stockage (C) à l'aide d'une bande transporteuse pour finir sur une étagère de stockage.
The mode of operation of the bread distributor according to FIG. 6 is as follows:
  • storage of semi-finished baguettes on the plates (21) in a cold room (A),
  • separation of the rods from the plates (21) of the cold room (A) by a mechanized system according to the invention with commissioning of the noria (43) in the cold room (A) on request the storage room (C) ,
  • transit of the bread to the oven (B) for final baking,
  • storage of the finished product in the storage chamber (C) using a conveyor belt to finish on a storage shelf.

Sur demande du client, la noria est mise en marche et déclenche le système de décollement des baguettes.At the customer's request, the noria is started and triggers the sticking of the sticks.

Un contrôleur peut gérer la cuisson des baguettes en fonction du débit attendu. Ainsi un certain stock plus ou moins important est préparé en fonction de l'heure de la journée. Le pain cuit ne reste donc pas longtemps dans l'automate. Les pertes seront donc pratiquement nulles. Grâce au dispositif de soulèvement, la fiabilité de l'automate de cuisson est optimale et l'approvisionnement de la machine est plus souple.A controller can manage the cooking of the baguettes according to the expected flow. So a certain more or less important stock is prepared according to the hour of the day. The bread cooked does not stay long in the machine. The losses will therefore be practically zero. Thanks to the lifting device, the reliability of the automatic cooking machine is optimal and the machine supply is more flexible.
