Description
La présente invention concerne un appareil destiné à l'identification et à la manutention de charges, telles que notamment des bagages, en particulier dans lee aéroports.The present invention relates to an apparatus for the identification and handling of loads, such as in particular baggage, particularly in airports.
On sait que dans les aéroports la manutention des bagages est habituellement effectuée de façon manuelle et consiste principalement à les réceptionner à partir de tapis roulants qui les véhiculent depuis l'enregistrement et, après leur identification notamment quant à leur destination, à les charger sur les chariots de manutention appropriés devant les acheminer vers leurs avions respectifs.It is known that in airports the handling of baggage is usually done manually and consists mainly of receiving them from conveyor belts which convey them since the registration and, after their identification in particular as to their destination, to load them on the appropriate trucks to transport them to their respective aircraft.
Il s'agit là d'un travail physiquement pénible pour les bagagistes, si bien que l'on a proposé diverses solutions pour faciliter ces opérations de manutention. A cet effet, la publication
L'opération d'identification quant à elle s'effectue toujours de façon totalement manuelle et consiste essentiellement pour le bagagiste à détacher une étiquette identifiante apposée sur le bagage lors de son enregistrement, et, après avoir transporté celui-ci sur le chariot approprié associé à un avion déterminé, coller cette étiquette sur une feuille d'émargement associée audit avion, le dernier bagage chargé portant une étiquette spécifique indiquant que le chargement est terminé. On comprend que pour de nombreuses raisons pratiques, et notamment lors de la mise en oeuvre de contrôles de sécurité, la procédure se trouve parfois quelque peu perturbée ce qui conduit à des dysfonctionnements sources de désagréments divers pour les passagers.The identification operation is always carried out completely manually and essentially consists of the porter to detach an identifying label affixed to the baggage during registration, and, after transporting it on the appropriate trolley associated to a specific aircraft, stick this label on a sheet of registration associated with said aircraft, the last loaded luggage bearing a specific label indicating that the loading is completed. It is understood that for many practical reasons, and particularly during the implementation of security checks, the procedure is sometimes somewhat disturbed which leads to malfunctions causing various inconveniences for passengers.
C'est pourquoi on a proposé, afin de réduire ces dysfonctionnements, de rendre automatique l'opération d'identification en dotant d'une part les étiquettes apposée lors de l'enregistrement sur les bagages et d'autre part les chariots de transport, d'un code-barres ce qui permet au bagagiste, après avoir saisi les informations portées par ces derniers au moyen d'un lecteur approprié, de les transmettre directement et automatiquement aux services administratifs compétents.That is why it has been proposed, in order to reduce these malfunctions, to make the identification operation automatic by providing, on the one hand, the labels affixed during the check-in on the luggage and, on the other hand, the transport trolleys. a barcode which allows the baggage handler, after entering the information carried by them with an appropriate reader, to transmit directly and automatically to the relevant administrative services.
Dans la pratique une difficulté survient, dans la mesure où le bagagiste doit à la fois présenter au lecteur de code-barres l'étiquette du bagage (puisque celle-ci se trouve par définition dans une position quelconque par rapport à lui), lire le code-barres disposé sur celle-ci, et saisir ensuite le bagage afin de le transférer sur le chariot. On comprend qu'au cours de ces manipulations le bagagiste va présenter d'une main l'étiquette au lecteur de code-barres qu'il tient dans l'autre main, déclencher la lecture avec cette dernière puis, cette opération une fois effectuée, poser le lecteur de code-barres afin de pouvoir prendre en main les moyens de préhension des bagages. Ce transfert, si simple qu'il soit, devient problématique dès lors que, d'une part, il doit être effectué des centaines de fois au cours d'une même journée de travail et que, d'autre part, la totalité de ces opérations doit s'effectuer rapidement puisque, habituellement, le bagage concerné se trouve en mouvement sur un transporteur.In practice, a difficulty arises, insofar as the baggage handler must at the same time present the barcode reader with the baggage label (since it is by definition in any position relative to it), read the barcode placed on it, and then enter the baggage to transfer it to the cart. It is understood that during these manipulations the porter will present with one hand the label to the barcode reader he holds in the other hand, trigger the reading with the latter and, once this operation is done, ask the barcode reader to be able to take control of the luggage gripping means. This transfer, however simple it may be, becomes problematic since, on the one hand, it must be performed hundreds of times during the same working day and, on the other hand, all of these operations must be carried out quickly since, usually, the baggage concerned is moving on a carrier.
La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif permettant au manutentionnaire d'effectuer l'ensemble des opérations d'identification et de manutention précédemment mentionnées en conservant en main un seul et même instrument.The purpose of the present invention is to propose a device enabling the handler to perform all the identification and handling previously mentioned while keeping in hand one and the same instrument.
La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un dispositif d'identification et de manutention de charges, notamment de bagages, du type comportant des moyens de préhension de ces dernières et des moyens de levage et de déplacement contrôlés par des moyens de commande, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une tête de manoeuvre située à proximité immédiate des moyens de préhension comprenant à la fois les moyens de commande et des moyens aptes à assurer l'identification desdites charges.The present invention thus relates to a device for identifying and handling loads, in particular baggage, of the type comprising means for gripping the latter and lifting and displacement means controlled by control means, characterized in that it comprises an operating head located in the immediate vicinity of the gripping means comprising both the control means and means adapted to ensure the identification of said charges.
Suivant l'invention les moyens de levage pourront être constitués d'au moins un câble associé à des moyens aptes à contrôler l'enroulage et le déroulage de celui-ci et les moyens d'identification pourront être constitués par un lecteur apte à lire des code-barres d'identification disposés sur les charges, ou des étiquettes électroniques radiofréquences.According to the invention the lifting means may consist of at least one cable associated with means capable of controlling the winding and unwinding of the latter and the identification means may be constituted by a reader adapted to read barcode identification arranged on charges, or radio frequency electronic tags.
Par ailleurs de façon à faciliter la prise d'informations le dispositif suivant l'invention pourra comporter des moyens aptes à assure la libération et la reprise dudit câble sous l'action de moyens de commande de la tête de manoeuvre. De façon particulièrement intéressante, ces moyens de commande de libération et de reprise dudit câble pourront être constitués d'un inclinomètre.Moreover, in order to facilitate the taking of information, the device according to the invention may comprise means capable of ensuring the release and recovery of said cable under the action of control means of the operating head. In a particularly interesting way, these control means of release and recovery of said cable may consist of an inclinometer.
Dans un mode de mise en oeuvre particulièrement intéressant de l'invention la tête de manoeuvre comprendra des moyens de transmission et/ou de réception à distance des informations d'identification des charges et/ou des zones de prise et de dépose desdites charges.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the control head will comprise means for remote transmission and / or reception of the identification information of the charges and / or the zones for taking and depositing said charges.
Par ailleurs de façon à faciliter la saisie des informations sur les charges et notamment sur des bagages, le dispositif suivant l'invention pourra comporter des moyens de déclenchement et/ou d'enregistrement de la mesure d'identification desdites charges constitués par un dispositif à inertie activé sous l'action d'un mouvement brusque de la tête de manoeuvre.Moreover, in order to facilitate the entry of information on charges and in particular on baggage, the device according to the invention may include means for triggering and / or recording the identification of said charges constituted by an inertia device activated under the action of a sudden movement of the actuating head.
Enfin les moyens de levage et/ou de préhension pourront être constitués d'un élément tubulaire rétractable en communication avec un élément ventouse apte à s'appliquer de façon étanche sur la charge et de moyens aptes à créer un vide partiel contrôlé dans élément tubulaire pour saisir lesdites charges.Finally, the lifting and / or gripping means may consist of a retractable tubular element in communication with a suction element capable of sealingly applying to the load and means capable of creating a controlled partial vacuum in a tubular element for seize the said charges.

Le dispositif d'identification et de manutention de charges suivant l'invention qui est représenté sur les
Le chariot 4 est pourvu de plus d'un treuil électrique 10 sur une poulie duquel s'enroule un câble 12, qui suit le parcours du bras 6 pour passer sur une poulie de renvoi 14 située en extrémité de celui-ci afin de se diriger ensuite verticalement vers le bas. L'extrémité inférieure du câble 12 est pourvue de moyens de préhension constitués, dans le présent exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, d'un crochet 16.The carriage 4 is provided with more than one
Suivant l'invention, à proximité immédiate du crochet 16 est disposée une tête de manoeuvre 18 qui est représentée en détails sur la
La tête de manoeuvre 18 comprend de première part tous les éléments permettant d'assurer la commande du positionnement du câble 12, des bras 6 et du chariot 4. A cet effet la poignée de commande 20 est pourvue de capteurs d'effort permettant, de façon connue, d'exercer une commande asservie de montée et de descente des charges. Plus précisément lorsque l'on exerce sur la poignée 20 un effort vers le bas les capteurs détectent cette contrainte et donnent instructions au treuil 10, par l'intermédiaire de moyens d'asservissement de tout type connu, de dérouler une portion de câble fonction de l'intensité de l'effort exercé. A l'inverse, lorsque le bagagiste souhaite soulever un bagage il soulève la poignée 20 et les moyens d'asservissement enroulent une partie de câble. Ainsi la manutention du levage et de la dépose d'une charge se font sans effort de la part du bagagiste.The
Suivant l'invention la tête de manoeuvre 18 est équipée de moyens permettant d'assurer l'identification des charges et notamment des bagages, tel que par exemple un lecteur d'étiquettes code-barres 15 par laser ou CCD ou tout autre système par exemple un lecteur d'étiquettes électroniques radiofréquences.According to the invention, the
On comprend que la manipulation de la tête de manoeuvre 18, lorsque celle-ci doit effectuer la lecture des étiquettes 22 d'un bagage 23, requière qu'elle puisse être manoeuvrée rapidement et sans que les moyens d'asservissement n'interviennent pour gêner le mouvement notamment par exemple lorsque le bagagiste l'incline en tout sens pour la positionner correctement par rapport à la position de l'étiquette 22 dont on souhaite saisir les informations.It will be understood that the manipulation of the
C'est pourquoi le dispositif suivant l'invention est pourvu de moyens permettant de libérer le câble 12 des moyens d'asservissement. Ainsi lorsque le bagagiste souhaite saisir les données figurant sur une étiquette 22 il commence par commander la libération du câble 12 ce qui lui permet de positionner facilement et rapidement la tête de manoeuvre 18 dans la position idéale pour effectuer cette opération ainsi que représenté sur la
Une fois que la tête de manoeuvre 18 est en position pour assurer la saisie des informations contenues sur l'étiquette 22 le bagagiste doit activer l'opération de lecture. Cette opération peut bien entendu être commandée par un bouton 26 facilement accessible par le bagagiste lorsqu'il tient en main la-poignée 20, mais préférentiellement par un dispositif de commande de type à inertie dont sera pourvue la tête de manoeuvre 18. Dans ces conditions il suffira au bagagiste de donner à la tête de manoeuvre 18 un mouvement rapide et bref dans une direction déterminée, préférentiellement un mouvement de rotation autour de l'axe formé par la poignée 20. Une fois l'information enregistrée un mouvement identique déconnectera les moyens de lecture. La plupart du temps les moyens de lecture seront en fait en état de fonctionnement permanent et on effectuera l'enregistrement de la mesure effectuée par un signal donné préférentiellement par un mouvement rapide de la tête de manoeuvre.Once the
L'opération de lecture étant terminée le bagagiste remettra en position verticale la poignée 20 ce qui aura pour effet de réactiver les moyens d'asservissement du câble 12 qui se retendra et pourra alors être commandé par le bagagiste pour soulever le bagage ainsi que représenté sur la
Suivant l'invention la tête de manoeuvre 18 comportera des moyens permettant d'assurer sa liaison à un ordinateur distant par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison filaire ou par transmission à distance, notamment par radio, par infrarouge etc... Elle sera ainsi à même d'envoyer de façon automatique les informations recueillies vers un serveur où elles seront gérées sur le plan administratif. Une telle liaison pourra être de type bidirectionnel de façon à permettre au bagagiste de recevoir des instructions. Ainsi, après la saisie, les informations pourront être retransmises à un ordinateur éventuellement distant, ce dernier pouvant alors délivrer au bagagiste une autorisation de chargement du bagage dans tel chariot déterminé, et ceci en fonction de décisions spécifiques relatives par exemple à la sécurité, au confort etc ... La tête de manoeuvre 18 pourra ainsi se comporter comme un instrument de dialogue en temps réel avec un ordinateur distant chargé par exemple de vérifier le chargement correct d'un vol ainsi que le bon fonctionnement du dispositif suivant l'invention. La tête de manoeuvre 18 pourra également comporter une mémoire dans laquelle elle enregistrera toutes les opérations effectuées de façon à les restituer ultérieurement à des moyens de lecture, par exemple un ordinateur.According to the invention, the
Bien entendu le dispositif suivant l'invention peut être mis en oeuvre avec tout autre dispositif de levage et de préhension que ceux précédemment décrits.Of course the device according to the invention can be implemented with any other lifting and gripping device than those previously described.
On pourra ainsi par exemple également faire appel à un dispositif du type de celui représenté sur la
