Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flat switch, intended to open or on the contrary to close an electrical circuit for controlling, actuating a device or authorizing the operation of a device.
  • the invention also relates to a device for detecting the presence of a heavy body or an individual, integrating such a switch.
  • Such a presence detector finds different areas of application. Among these, one can mention in particular the security systems, in which the realization of certain actions or the activation of organs, machines, installation, and in general of any device, can be authorized only in the presence of the operator, whose detection is thus determined.
  • Sensitive safety mats that function as a detector and are used mainly to detect the presence of people or objects in a danger zone, to send control pulses or to send counting pulses are known.
  • Such sensitive mats consist of two parallel electrically conductive contact surfaces separated from each other by the compressible elements, said surfaces having on their faces opposite those intended to cooperate to close an electrical circuit. , a vinyl or polyurethane coating.
  • One of said coatings can even have an anti-slip surface typically formed by reliefs.
  • Such carpets are for example described in EP-A-1437752.
  • electrical contactors are generally made of copper, outbid manufacturing costs.
  • EP-A-0 395 784 also describes a detection device of the type in question.
  • the spacing means of the conductive plates recommended therein consist of extended strips, in particular of triangular section, thus significantly affecting the detection sensitivity of the device. Indeed, these bands bend under the effect of the load, and because of the nature of the material that constitutes them, the contact between the two conductive plates requires a relatively high pressure.
  • carpets have the disadvantage of being of limited comfort, likely to be translated in the long run for operators or users by the appearance of syndromes more and more often observed in the world of work, related to trauma or musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the pelvis.
  • Such musculoskeletal disorders or traumas are traditionally inherent in the repetition of an identical gesture in a continuous manner at high rates.
  • the basin plays an obvious role as a damping element, and one of the problems that the invention aims to solve lies in reducing the role of damping devolved to the basin, thereby canceling otherwise to limit these musculoskeletal disorders or traumatisms.
  • the invention therefore aims firstly at a flat switch intended to close or open an electrical circuit, said switch being constituted by an electrically conductive plate provided with multiple projections, oriented substantially perpendicular to the general plane of the plate, said plate being connected to the electrical circuit, and embedded in a layer of rubber or elastomer, at least part of said protrusions flush at one of the faces of the structure thus produced, intended to cooperate with the support or with a complementary element contributing to the constitution of said circuit.
  • this conductive plate consists of a perforated plate, defining a multitude of orifices in addition to said projections.
  • a conductive plate therefore simultaneously has properties of rigidity and flexibility, allowing it to bend under the action of a load, so as to allow the protrusions flush with the rubber or elastomer layer to come into electrical contact with the support or with a complementary element contributing to the constitution of said circuit.
  • the face in question of said structure comprises pawns or guard pads, distributed substantially over the entire surface and whose height exceeds the length of the protrusions flush.
  • planar switch can advantageously be positioned on the metal frame of a machine, an installation or a vehicle, brought to the zero potential, that is to say to the ground, the plate being for its part on at a potential different from zero.
  • contacting the plate, via protrusions flush with the metal frame causes closure of the circuit and corollary the possible activation of other ancillary organs or the operation of a forklift.
  • the other face of the structure that is to say the one opposite to the face provided with the pins or guard studs, is provided with reliefs, advantageously derived from molding, and intended to confer on the structure properties anti-slip, besides optimizing if necessary the damping capacity of the flat switch, these reliefs can be of any shape, and being advantageously regularly distributed on the face in question.
  • the pins or guard posts are located vertically above all or part of the non-relief zones of the opposite face.
  • this flat switch may comprise a lower part (previously defined as being the complementary element), consisting of a flat and uniform conductive plate, overmolded with rubber or elastomer, with the exception of one its two main faces, said plate being also connected to the electrical circuit, which mention was made previously.
  • This uniform conductive plate is intended to come into contact with the protrusions flush with the aforementioned structure, when sufficient pressure is exerted on the upper face of said structure, capable of inducing the curvature or fold of the face provided with the pins or pads. guard, and thus cause contact between the protrusions flush and the uniform plate of the lower part, notwithstanding the pins or guard studs.
  • the required pressure is between 2 and 7 daN for a support of section close to 50 cm 2 . In doing so, the structure is given a sufficient sensitivity depending on the applications envisaged, since as already indicated, it is the conductive plate provided with protrusions which bends or bends, even though the studs or pions undergo almost no 'crushing.
  • the lower part is secured to the upper part at their respective periphery, preferably by gluing after casing of one in the other, said parts being substantially the same length and width, to the close fitting area.
  • the overmolding materials of the lower and upper parts respectively are of the same nature.
  • the lower face of the lower part therefore opposed to the non-overmolded zone, has cells, preferably resulting from molding, providing the function of dampers, these cells being capable of adopting any cross section, and in particular square or polygonal .
  • This structure is advantageously used in the case of a device for detecting the presence of a body or an individual, for the purpose of reinforcing the security of the devices to which it is integrated.
  • the embodiment described in connection with the appended figures relates to a complete presence detection device, that is to say including an upper part (1) and a lower part (2), this device being intended to fulfill the function of carpet sensitive, especially for a forklift, ie to be placed at the positioning of the operator of said carriage under normal conditions of use, said belt being electrically connected to the activation members of said carriage, to prohibit operation if no presence is detected.
  • the detection device comprises an upper part (1), secured to a lower part (2), the assembly constituting a substantially flat structure whose thickness is relatively small compared to the dimensions of its length and width, as can be seen for example in Figure 3.
  • the sensitive belt has a height of 20 mm, even though its width and length may to be much more important.
  • the upper part (1) consists essentially of a perforated plate (3), defining a multitude of orifices, but especially a certain number of projections (4), oriented substantially perpendicular to the general plane of said sheet, and of which at least part is directed towards the lower part (2).
  • This sheet is made of any electrically conductive material. It can thus be made of steel, type F12T3S1, having undergone anti-corrosion treatment with high zinc content, or stainless steel, such as for example 304L stainless steel (IUP - ARCELOR), ie in austenitic stainless steel with good anti-corrosion properties.
  • stainless steel such as for example 304L stainless steel (IUP - ARCELOR), ie in austenitic stainless steel with good anti-corrosion properties.
  • This perforated plate (3) further has a cut-out at one of its lateral faces, defining a lug (5) intended to allow the electrical connection of the sheet to a cable or electrical wire of an electrical circuit of order or treatment.
  • this sheet (3) of typical thickness of 0.25 mm, is embedded by overmolding in an elastomer layer (6).
  • the elastomer layer (6) injected by means of a press covers the entire upper surface of the sheet (3).
  • the lower face of said sheet ie that intended to cooperate with the lower part (2) of the presence detector, receives only a single rubber or elastomeric web.
  • the projections (4) of the sheet (3) are slightly flush, typically a distance of between 0.05 and 0.2 mm at level of the lower face of the upper part (1).
  • this lower face is provided by overmolding by means of the rubber or elastomer material mentioned above, of pins or guard studs (7), regularly distributed, as can be seen in broken lines in FIG. extending a distance greater than that of the flush distance of the projections (4) at said face, as can be seen in FIG. 4.
  • the height of the studs or guard pins (7) measured relative to the flat portion of the lower face of said upper portion (1) is close to 0.6 mm.
  • the upper face of said upper part (1) has raised areas (8), also advantageously derived from molding, which in the example described are of spherical cap shape . As can be seen in Figures 1 and 4, these reliefs are also regularly distributed.
  • the pins or guard studs (7) of the lower face of the upper part (1) are situated substantially vertically above the zones (9) of the upper face devoid of these raised zones. (8). This characteristic appears very clearly in FIG.
  • the elastomer used for overmolding this perforated sheet (3) is constituted in the example described by a nitrile having a hardness of 50 Shore A.
  • This material has the particularity of being particularly resistant to aggressive media and especially acids, in addition to abrasion, thus promoting the durability of the product.
  • the hardness chosen gives it a relatively large damping capacity, favoring the fight against musculoskeletal disorders.
  • the presence detection device also comprises a lower part (2) described hereinafter in more detail.
  • the upper part (1) has a length and width substantially identical to those of the upper part (1).
  • the lower part (2) basically comprises an electrically conductive plate (10), flat, uniform and continuous. It is made of metal and has a typical thickness of 1 millimeter, to give it a certain rigidity, given its function described hereinafter in more detail, and its integration in the presence detection device of the invention .
  • This lower plate (10), of dimensions (length and width) substantially equivalent to those of the perforated plate (3) of the upper part (1), has like this, a cutout (11) defining a pod, intended for be also connected to a wire or electrical cable of the aforementioned electrical circuit.
  • This lower plate (10) is also overmoulded, advantageously of the same material as the overmolding material of the perforated plate (3) of the upper part (1), this overmoulding however not being present at the level of the upper face (11). ) of said plate, that is to say of the face intended to cooperate with the upper part (1) of the detection device.
  • the lower part (2) has at the opposite side to the face (11) of the plate (10) a number of cells (12), also from molding.
  • the lower part thus produced is assembled to the upper part by gluing at the peripheral edge of the respective parts.
  • the adhesive used may be of any kind, compatible with the rubber or elastomer material used, and in the example described, may consist of a slow-setting cyanoacrylate adhesive, as sold by the company Permabond under the reference C737.
  • cold pressing is carried out with possibly a heating phase (40 to 50 ° C. for about ten minutes) to accelerate the setting of the adhesive.
  • this bonding ensures the tightness of the structure thus produced, making it possible to overcome any corrosion phenomena likely to affect the conductive metal elements acting as inserts, in particular the perforated sheet (3) and the metal plate (10) integrated within said structure.
  • the lugs (5) and (11) respectively defined at the level of the perforated plate (3) than the uniform plate (10) are tinned, favoring the welding of the wire or electrical cable to which they are respectively intended to be joined. and avoiding penetration of the overmoulding material at this level.
  • the overmolding step occurs after the fixing of said son or electrical cables on the respective metal inserts.
  • heat-shrinkable sheaths or even double sheaths are inserted over these lugs and the son or cables to which they are welded to further optimize the tightness of the structure.
  • the generated pressure induces the partial curvature of the upper part (1) and therefore of the sheet (3), and corollary the descent of the projections (4) in contact with the plate (10), notwithstanding the presence of the pins or guard studs (7), whose function is precisely to prevent these unwanted contacts, but whose distribution and dimensions are chosen to allow the realization of such electrical contacts for a pressure, therefore a force, and consequently for a given mass .
  • the presence detector comprises an upper part and a lower part
  • the invention also relates to a presence detector limitatively consisting of the only upper part, as long as stresses, in particular sealing n ' do not intervene. It is sufficient for the proper functioning of the device that it is positioned on a conductive metal chassis, carried to ground, the device itself being raised to a potential other than zero, in the context of the electric circuit in question.
  • the upper face of the upper part (1) is provided with reliefs (8), it should be emphasized that the presence of such reliefs is not imperative for the operation of the device of the 'invention.
  • the device of the invention may be devoid of the honeycomb structure of its lower part, the latter essentially fulfilling a role of damping and therefore comfort. As regards comfort, it is also useful to play on the hardness of the rubber or overmolding elastomer.
  • this detection device can also be immersed in the bottom of the swimming pools, in order to detect a swimmer or any person drowning, and thereby cause the triggering of an alarm signal.
  • Such presence detectors can therefore be made for large areas, and be placed in sensitive places, such as bank branches and other places of the same nature.
  • these devices are safe, since they can operate at low voltage, typically 12, 24 and 48 volts with a low amperage of 0.2 to 0.3 A.
  • such detectors may have a useful surface, that is, capable of generating a signal close to 100% of their total area.
