Description

L'invention est relative à un chariot de manutention motorisé comportant au moins trois roues directrices, notamment du genre apte à être embarqué à l'arrière d'un véhicule porteur.The invention relates to a motorized material handling trolley comprising at least three steering wheels, in particular of the kind adapted to be embarked at the rear of a carrier vehicle.

On connaît des chariots aptes à être embarqués sur un véhicule porteur tel qu'un camion, pouvant être utilisés au chargement et au déchargement du camion et ensuite être fixés à l'arrière de celui-ci pour être ainsi transportés. Ce genre de chariot est généralement de réalisation peu encombrante, de manière à dépasser du camion d'une faible distance, son châssis étant réalisé de manière que les roues avant soient voisines de l'extrémité avant de sa fourche de chargement.Trolleys are known that can be loaded onto a carrier vehicle such as a truck, which can be used for loading and unloading the truck and then be attached to the rear of the truck so as to be transported. This type of trolley is generally of compact design, so as to exceed the truck a short distance, its frame being made so that the front wheels are close to the front end of its loading fork.

A cet effet, les chariots de manutention motorisés du type précité comportent généralement un châssis présentant une conformation en U ouvert vers l'avant, équipé de deux roues avant et d'une roue arrière directrices, de sorte que les moyens de levage s'étendent ainsi dans leur position la plus rétractée entre les branches latérales du châssis en U.For this purpose, the motorized industrial trucks of the aforementioned type generally comprise a chassis having a U-shape open towards the front, equipped with two front wheels and a rear steering wheel, so that the lifting means extend thus in their most retracted position between the lateral branches of the U-frame.

Certains chariots de manutention du type précité comportent au moins trois roues directrices, de manière à permettre une manutention en mode frontal et en mode latéral.Some industrial trucks of the aforementioned type have at least three steered wheels, so as to allow handling in frontal mode and lateral mode.

Chaque roue directrice est montée sur un mécanisme de direction, à pivotement autour d'un axe vertical, entre une première position de mode frontal et une deuxième position de mode latéral perpendiculaire à la première position de mode frontal.Each steering wheel is mounted on a steering mechanism, pivotable about a vertical axis, between a first frontal mode position and a second lateral mode position perpendicular to the first frontal mode position.

L'invention est particulièrement utile dans son application à un chariot de manutention motorisé, apte à être embarqué à l'arrière d'un véhicule porteur, du genre comportant un châssis présentant une conformation en U, équipé de deux roues avant et d'une roue arrière directrices, un poste de conduite et des moyens de levage. Ces moyens de levage peuvent comporter un bras télescopique monté à pivotement sous l'action d'un vérin de levage autour d'un axe sensiblement horizontal situé à l'arrière du châssis sensiblement au-dessus de ladite roue arrière directrice, ou alternativement peuvent comporter un mât de levage de type connu en soi.The invention is particularly useful in its application to a motorized material handling trolley, suitable for being mounted on the rear of a carrier vehicle, of the type comprising a chassis having a U-shaped configuration, equipped with two front wheels and a rear wheel steering, a driving position and lifting means. These lifting means may comprise a telescopic arm pivotally mounted under the action of a jacking cylinder around a substantially horizontal axis located at the rear of the chassis substantially above said steering rear wheel, or alternatively may comprise a lifting mast of a type known per se.

Un premier inconvénient de ce chariot embarqué à trois roues directrices résulte du fait qu'en mode de déplacement latéral, la déformation et la diminution du polygone ou triangle de sustentation entraîne une diminution de stabilité.A first drawback of this three-wheeled on-board truck results from the fact that in lateral displacement mode, the deformation and the reduction of the polygon or triangle of levitation causes a decrease in stability.

Un deuxième inconvénient de ce chariot embarqué à trois roues directrices provient du risque d'interférence de la charge avec les roues avant en position de marche latérale, ce qui peut empêcher le dépôt de la charge entre les roues avant.A second disadvantage of this three-wheeled on-board truck comes from the risk of interference of the load with the front wheels in the sideways position, which can prevent the deposit of the load between the front wheels.

Le document EP 0 625 478 A1 décrit un chariot à fourches déplaçables selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The document EP 0 625 478 A1 discloses a forklift truck movable according to the preamble of claim 1.

En référence aux figures 1 à 4, les éléments identiques ou fonctionnellement équivalents sont repérés par des chiffres de référence identiques.With reference to Figures 1 to 4 identical or functionally equivalent elements are identified by identical reference numerals.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, un chariot selon l'invention comporte un châssis 1 présentant une conformation en U s'ouvrant vers l'avant, un poste de conduite 2, un groupe motopropulseur 3 et des moyens de levage 4.On the figures 1 and 2 , a carriage according to the invention comprises a frame 1 having a U-shaped opening opening towards the front, a driving position 2, a powertrain 3 and lifting means 4.

Une branche 1 a du châssis porte une roue avant 5 tandis que l'autre branche 1b porte l'autre roue avant 6. La roue arrière 7 directrice est montée sensiblement au milieu du corps principal du châssis. La roue arrière directrice 7 est commandée par un volant 8 situé dans le poste de conduite 2 qui comporte également tous les organes de commande des moyens de levage 4.One leg 1 of the chassis carries a front wheel 5 while the other leg 1b carries the other front wheel 6. The rear wheel 7 is mounted substantially in the middle of the main body of the chassis. The rear steering wheel 7 is controlled by a steering wheel 8 located in the driving position 2 which also includes all the control means of the lifting means 4.

Le groupe motopropulseur 3 est de préférence un groupe comportant un moteur thermique entraînant une pompe hydraulique, les organes de distribution et de commande nécessaires étant regroupés avec le groupe motopropulseur 3 et commandés directement depuis le poste de conduite 2.The power train 3 is preferably a group comprising a heat engine driving a hydraulic pump, the necessary distribution and control members being grouped with the power unit 3 and controlled directly from the driving position 2.

Les moyens de levage 4 comportent un bras télescopique 9 monté à pivotement autour d'un axe 10 sensiblement horizontal situé à l'arrière du châssis 1 sensiblement au-dessus de la roue arrière directrice 7.The lifting means 4 comprise a telescopic arm 9 mounted to pivot about a substantially horizontal axis 10 located at the rear of the chassis 1 substantially above the rear guide wheel 7.

Le poste de commande et de conduite est situé sur un côté du chariot, le groupe motopropulseur 3 est situé du côté opposé au poste de commande et de conduite, et le bras télescopique 9 dans sa position abaissée et rétractée correspondant au transport d'une charge passe entre le poste de conduite 2 et le groupe motopropulseur 3.The control and driving station is located on one side of the truck, the power train 3 is located on the opposite side to the control and driving station, and the telescopic arm 9 in its lowered and retracted position corresponding to the transport of a load passes between the driving position 2 and the power train 3.

Cette disposition fournit ainsi une excellente visibilité sur la charge et sur les moyens de levage 4. Alternativement, les moyens de levage 4 peuvent comporter un mât de levage au lieu d'un bras télescopique 9.This arrangement thus provides excellent visibility of the load and the lifting means 4. Alternatively, the lifting means 4 may comprise a lifting mast instead of a telescopic arm 9.

Le bras télescopique 9 porte à son extrémité éloignée de l'axe de pivotement 10 un organe de préhension 11 orientable à pivotement autour d'un axe horizontal 12 sous l'action d'un vérin d'actionnement 11a.The telescopic arm 9 carries at its end remote from the pivot axis 10 a gripping member 11 pivotable about a horizontal axis 12 under the action of an actuating cylinder 11a.

L'organe de préhension 11 est de préférence conformé en tablier supportant des fourches 13a, 13b. Les fourches 13a, 13b peuvent partir de la position abaissée et rétractée du bras télescopique 9 correspondant au transport d'une charge, pour passer à d'autres positions horizontales ou inclinées dans un sens de cavage ou un sens de déversement.The gripping member 11 is preferably shaped as an apron supporting forks 13a, 13b. The forks 13a, 13b can start from the lowered and retracted position of the telescopic arm 9 corresponding to the transport of a load, to move to other horizontal positions or inclined in a digging direction or a discharge direction.

Le bras télescopique 9 est extensible sous l'action d'un vérin intérieur 9a et pivote sous l'action d'un vérin de levage 14 disposé latéralement par rapport au bras et fixé à une équerre solidaire de la poutre du bras télescopique 9.The telescopic arm 9 is expandable under the action of an inner cylinder 9a and pivots under the action of a lifting jack 14 disposed laterally with respect to the arm and fixed to a bracket secured to the beam of the telescopic arm 9.

On équipe avantageusement le chariot selon l'invention d'un vérin de compensation, apte à maintenir les fourches 13a, 13b horizontales lors du pivotement de la flèche. De préférence, le vérin de levage 14 et le vérin de compensation 15 sont montés de part et d'autre de la poutre du bras télescopique 9, dans une position n'interférant pas avec la visibilité du conducteur lorsque le bras télescopique 9 est, en position de transport, entièrement abaissé et rétracté.Advantageously equips the carriage according to the invention with a compensation cylinder, adapted to hold the forks 13a, 13b horizontal when pivoting the boom. Preferably, the lifting cylinder 14 and the compensation cylinder 15 are mounted on either side of the beam of the telescopic arm 9, in a position that does not interfere with the visibility of the driver when the telescopic arm 9 is, in transport position, fully lowered and retracted.

Avantageusement, l'ensemble des moyens de levage 4 peut être déplaçable transversalement de manière à permettre un réglage précis du positionnement des moyens de levage lors de la préhension de la charge. Dans ce cas, les moyens de levage 4 comprenant le bras télescopique 9 sont déplaçables selon un mouvement commandé et contrôlé de préférence hydrauliquement sous l'action de moyens de translation disposés au voisinage de l'axe de pivotement 10 : ces moyens de translation sont alors de préférence, des moyens d'actionnement hydrauliques comportant au moins un vérin hydraulique, dont la direction d'actionnement est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de pivotement 10.Advantageously, all the lifting means 4 may be transversely displaceable so as to allow precise adjustment of the positioning of the lifting means during gripping of the load. In this case, the lifting means 4 comprising the telescopic arm 9 are movable in a movement controlled and preferably controlled hydraulically by the action of translation means arranged in the vicinity of the pivot axis 10: these translation means are then preferably, hydraulic actuation means comprising at least one hydraulic cylinder, whose actuating direction is substantially parallel to the pivot axis 10.

Selon l'invention, les roues avant 5 et 6 sont des roues directrices, dont les orientations sont coordonnées à partir du poste de conduite 2 pour obtenir un mode de déplacement spécifique, de manière à pivoter en s'ouvrant vers l'extérieur pour augmenter simultanément la voie et l'empattement du chariot, ainsi que le polygone de sustentation du chariot de manutention.According to the invention, the front wheels 5 and 6 are steering wheels whose orientations are coordinated from the driving position 2 to obtain a specific mode of movement, so as to pivot opening towards the outside to simultaneously increase the track and the wheelbase of the truck, as well as the lift polygon of the truck.

Dans l'exemple représenté, les orientations des roues directrices 5 et 6 sont obtenues par des actionneurs 17 et 18, par exemple des vérins hydrauliques, identiques et symétriques par rapport à l'axe longitudinal T du chariot de manutention.In the example shown, the orientations of the steering wheels 5 and 6 are obtained by actuators 17 and 18, for example hydraulic cylinders, identical and symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis T of the handling truck.

Des stabilisateurs 19 et 20 peuvent être prévus sous forme d'ensembles solidaires des roues directrices 5 et 6.Stabilizers 19 and 20 may be provided as integral assemblies of the steering wheels 5 and 6.

Des supports rabattables 21a et 21b actionnables par des vérins hydrauliques 22a, 22b peuvent également être prévus pour reposer la charge en cours de déplacement.Folding supports 21a and 21b operable by hydraulic cylinders 22a, 22b can also be provided to rest the load during movement.

Ces supports rabattables 21a, 21b sont en appui en position basse sur des butées 23a, 23b solidaires du châssis 1, de manière à éviter tout risque d'accident en cas de rupture d'un flexible hydraulique.These folding supports 21a, 21b are supported in the lower position on abutments 23a, 23b secured to the frame 1, so as to avoid any risk of accident in case of rupture of a hydraulic hose.

Sur les figures 3 et 4, le chariot de manutention décrit en référence aux figures 1 et 2, dans une position de marche frontale, est représenté en position de marche latérale, après pivotement des roues directrices 5 et 6 vers l'extérieur et à angle droit.On the figures 3 and 4 , the industrial truck described with reference to figures 1 and 2 , in a forward operating position, is shown in the lateral operating position, after pivoting of the steering wheels 5 and 6 outwardly and at right angles.

Dans le mouvement de pivotement, les stabilisateurs 19 et 20 pivotent avec les roues directrices 5 et 6.In the pivoting movement, the stabilizers 19 and 20 pivot with the steering wheels 5 and 6.

Les supports rabattables 21a, 21b en appui sur les butées 23a, 23b comportent des extrémités avant adaptées au passage des roues avant 5 et 6, par exemple en allant en s'amincissant vers l'avant.The folding supports 21a, 21b bearing on the abutments 23a, 23b comprise front ends adapted to the passage of the front wheels 5 and 6, for example by going taper forward.

La comparaison des figures 3 et 4 représentant la position de marche latérale avec les figures 1 et 2 représentant la position de marche frontale conduit à une augmentation de la voie d'environ un tiers et une augmentation de l'empattement d'environ vingt pour cent, et par conséquent à une augmentation de l'aire du polygone de sustentation de plus de moitié.The comparison of figures 3 and 4 representing the lateral walking position with the figures 1 and 2 representing the forward march position leads to a track increase of approximately one-third and a wheelbase increase of approximately twenty percent, and therefore an increase in the area of the lift polygon by more than half .

L'invention permet d'obtenir une stabilité très supérieure à la stabilité des chariots de manutention de l'art antérieur.The invention makes it possible to obtain a stability that is much greater than the stability of the industrial trucks of the prior art.

En outre, grâce à l'invention, le fait de monter les roues avant 5 et 6 directrices à l'intérieur des branches 1a, 1b du châssis 1 en U permet d'obtenir une ouverture des roues 5 et 6 vers l'extérieur, lors du pivotement pour passer de la position de marche frontale à la position de marche latérale.In addition, thanks to the invention, the fact of mounting the front wheels 5 and 6 guiding inside the branches 1a, 1b of the U-frame 1 makes it possible to obtain an opening of the wheels 5 and 6 towards the outside, when pivoting to move from the forward operating position to the side walking position.

Enfin, grâce à l'invention, le montage des roues avant 5 et 6 directrices à l'intérieur des branches 1 a, 1 b du châssis 1 en U permet de les protéger contre les chocs extérieurs, tout en respectant la largeur imposée par le gabarit routier en position de marche frontale et en autorisant le dépassement au-delà du gabarit routier en position de marche latérale.Finally, thanks to the invention, the mounting of the front wheels 5 and 6 guiding inside the branches 1a, 1b of the U-frame 1 can protect them against external shocks, while respecting the width imposed by the road gauge in the forward operating position and permitting overtaking beyond the road gauge in the lateral operating position.

L'invention décrite en référence à un mode de réalisation particulier n'y est nullement limitée, mais couvre au contraire toute modification de forme et toute variante de réalisation dans les limites des revendications.The invention described with reference to a particular embodiment is not limited thereto, but on the contrary covers any modification of form and any variant embodiment within the scope of the claims.

Ainsi, une ou plusieurs des roues directrices 5, 6 ou 7 peut être motrice, l'essentiel étant de prévoir un agencement du chariot procurant non seulement un pivotement des roues vers l'extérieur et un agrandissement du polygone de sustentation en mode latéral, mais aussi une robustesse améliorée de par la protection des roues avant directrices en mode frontal par les branches du châssis.Thus, one or more of the steering wheels 5, 6 or 7 may be driving, the essential is to provide an arrangement of the carriage providing not only a rotation of the wheels outwardly and an enlargement of the lateral support polygon, but also an improved robustness by the protection of the front wheels steering in frontal mode by the branches of the chassis.
