Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for collecting objects on a roadway, as well as a van-type vehicle equipped with such a device.
  • Objects lying on the roadway of a road or highway constitute a significant danger to traffic. These objects include tire splinters, wheel trims, goods lost by transport vehicles, etc.
  • the document KR 2002/0082034 discloses a device for collecting objects on a roadway comprising a pickup platform intended to be mounted beneath a motor vehicle, as well as actuating means for moving said platform, by vertical translation, of a raised position that is not operational at a lowered pick up position and vice versa.
  • a device has the disadvantage of being able to be installed only on a vehicle type heavyweight: indeed, the height of the ground of a light vehicle would be insufficient to allow the mounting of a collection tray and its vertical movement , except to sacrifice excessively its dimensions, and therefore those objects that can be collected.
  • one of the disadvantages mentioned in the documents US 5,596,784 and US 5,745,947 namely the difficulty of having a sufficient fleet of collection vehicles, allowing rapid interventions at any point of a road or motorway network.
  • the invention aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art.
  • this object is achieved by a device for collecting objects on a roadway comprising a pickup platform, means for fixing said platform to a land motor vehicle and actuating means for passing said platform. from a non-operative raised position to a lowered pickup position and vice versa; characterized in that: said securing means is adapted to allow attachment of said pickup tray to the front of a land motor vehicle; and in that said actuating means are adapted to pivot said pickup tray between said raised position, in which it is oriented perpendicular to the surface of the carriageway, and said lowered position, in which it is substantially parallel to the surface of the roadway.
  • the pickup plate As the pickup plate is mounted at the front, and not below, the vehicle, the latter can be light type without sacrificing the capacity of the tray.
  • a collection device according to the invention could be mounted on all the vans used by the patrol boats of a highway section, allowing extremely fast interventions.
  • the pickup tray of the document device KR 2002/0082034 protrudes from the front of the vehicle when in its raised position. Obviously, this arrangement is dangerous for other road users, especially in the event of a collision.
  • the device of the invention does not have this disadvantage.
  • Another object of the invention is a van-type land motor vehicle comprising such a device for picking up objects on a roadway, as well as means for controlling the actuators of said device.
  • the object collecting plate can be fixed between the headlights of the vehicle so as to be positioned in front of the calender of the latter when it is in its raised position.
  • the device 1 for collecting objects comprises a pickup plate 10 having a bottom 10a, two side edges or flanks 10b, a bottom wall 10c and an upper closure 10d of the plate, optional.
  • a net 17 can be stretched on the bottom 10a and in front of the bottom wall 10c in order to absorb the kinetic energy of the collected objects, to prevent them from bouncing and are therefore ejected outside the plate. This makes it possible to carry out the collection at a relatively high speed, of the order of 50 - 60 km / h or more.
  • Other means of absorbing kinetic energy such as foam padding, can also be envisaged.
  • the upper closure 10d may be constituted by a cover or, more advantageously, by a thread consisting of elastic cables and / or elastic straps. It is advantageous that the distance separating the upper closure member 10d from the bottom 10a of the pickup plate 10 is variable. In particular, when the plate pivots to its raised position, said upper closure element can be closer to the bottom, to minimize the size of the device; conversely, when the plateau rotates towards its lowered position, this element can move away from the bottom to allow the pickup of large objects. This movement can be controlled by actuators or, preferably, be obtained passively by means of elastic elements such as springs.
  • a brush roll 16 can be disposed above the pickup tray 10, supported by two arms oriented parallel to the bottom 10. These arms can be adapted to allow some vertical movement of the brush roll 16 relative to the bottom 10a of the tray, to allow the collection of large objects.
  • the arrow R indicates the direction of rotation of this brush roller, powered by an electric motor, which makes it easier to pick up an object 2 lying on the roadway 3, and to prevent its accidental expulsion from the plate 10.
  • the set of stops is constituted by a plurality of rods 160 pivoting about a horizontal axis and mounted on a horizontal bar 161 oriented across the plate.
  • the rods 160 can pivot freely backward when the tray rises (see figure 3 ) or when an object is picked up; on the other hand, their forward pivoting is limited, so as to prevent the accidental exit of an object contained in the plate (see figures 4 and 7 ).
  • the rods 160 could be replaced by stops of different shape, for example plates; these stops could also be articulated at the bottom of the tray or at its flanks, and include a resilient biasing element such as a spring.
  • the figure 4 shows a set of pivoting stops 170 in the form of teeth, functioning as check valves, hinged to the bottom of the tray. In particular, they prevent small objects dimensions can not get out of the tray passing under the rods 160.
  • the horizontal bar 161 not only supports the stops 160, but also the front side of the elastic thread 10d constituting the upper closure element of the plate 10.
  • this horizontal bar 161 is carried by two vertical bars 162 mounted sliding inside guides 163; a spring located within these guides pushes the vertical bars 162 outward.
  • the vertical bars 162 are forced inside the guides 163, against the action of these springs: the size of the device is thus minimized.
  • said springs push the vertical bars 162 outside the guides, thus moving the horizontal bar 161 and the upper closure element away from the bottom of the tray, to maximize the opening of the tray. the latter and allow the collection of large objects.
  • the bar 161 / rod 160 assembly has not been shown on the Figures 5 and 6 for the sake of clarity. Similarly, the energy absorbing net 17 is not represented on the figures 5 and 7 in order not to overload them.
  • the pickup plate 10 is fixed to the front portion of a land motor vehicle 4, such as a van, by means of two hinges 11 allowing it to pivot about a horizontal axis, perpendicular to the direction of 4.
  • This pivoting is controlled by two articulated hydraulic cylinders 12, connected at one end to the van 4 and the end opposite the sidewalls 10b of the tray.
  • the joints 11 may be elastomeric bearings, so-called “silent blocks", in order to reduce vibrations and shocks due, for example, to unevenness of the roadway.
  • the plate 10 is oriented vertically and is positioned between the headlights 41 of the vehicle 4, in front of its shell 42. This is the non-operational position of the device; it can be noted that the plate 10, in this position, does not constitute a danger for other vehicles.
  • the extension of the cylinders 12 brings the plate 10 into its lowered collection position, wherein the bottom 10a extends parallel to the roadway 3, at a height relative to the latter between a few millimeters and a few centimeters.
  • a sensor 13, for example ultrasonic, and a servo system may be provided to maintain constant the distance between the plate 10 and the roadway 3.
  • One or more "jockey" wheels 14 - absent in the embodiment of the Figures 3 to 7 - May be provided to ensure the absence of contact between the bottom 10a of the collection tray and the roadway 3, even when said tray is loaded with collected objects.
  • the pickup tray can be mounted such that in the lowered position a front end 19 of its bottom, preferably blade-shaped and having sufficient strength, rubs on the floor to facilitate the pickup of objects by an action scraping.
  • the presence of the wheels 14 is generally not necessary.
  • the bar 161 / rod 160 assembly is located forwardly relative to the scraper blade 19 to prevent any upward projection of objects lying on the roadway.
  • bibs 15 may be provided at the front of the tray 10 to form a funnel for directing to the collection device objects on the sides.
  • these flaps can be pivoted and fold along the sidewalls 10b or in front of the front opening of the plate when the latter is in the nonoperational (raised) position.
  • the pivoting of the flaps 15 can be controlled by electric motors.
  • resilient means may be provided for pivoting the flaps 15 to their unfolded position as the tray lowers; in the raised position, the Gravity force overcomes the elastic restoring force and returns said bibs to their closed position.
  • actuating means not shown in the figures can be provided to allow the pivoting and / or the translation of the pickup plate 10 to the right or to the left, when the latter is located in its lowered position. This allows the tray to push an object too heavy or too large to be picked up to one side of the road, like a snow plow.
  • Control means of the various actuators of the device 1 (cylinders 12, electric motor of the brush roller 16, actuators of the flaps 15, etc.) are provided inside the van 4, in a position accessible to the driver and / or the passenger.
  • the van 4 is preferably equipped with signaling light devices such as arrows, a variable message sign, a beacon.
  • the device of the invention has been described in association with a van-type vehicle; however, it is by no means a limitation. Indeed, such a device could be mounted on a lighter vehicle, such as a car or, conversely, on a truck.
  • the pickup plate shown in the figures has a width less than that of the vehicle, so as not to cover the lights of the latter when it is in its raised position. Again, this limitation is not essential, and the tray could have a width equal to or greater than that of the vehicle. In this case, the flaps 15 may be omitted.
  • the device of the invention makes it possible to pick up with very high reliability objects of large dimensions, such as truck exhausts, and this at a speed of 50 - 60 km / h.
