Definitions
- the present invention relates to the fast loading and unloading of freight vehicles by means of a load conveyor moved in translation from a vehicle floor to a building platform floor and vice versa from the building platform to the transport vehicle , thanks to traction means of the motorized load carpet.
- European patent EP 1 444 151 in the name of the applicant, describes a device for loading and unloading a road transport vehicle from a dock for loading or to a dock for unloading, said platform and vehicle comprising a floor on which can move a load conveyor with its load likely to be moved from the dock to the vehicle for loading by means of traction means equipping the vehicle, while said load carpet is moved from the vehicle to the dock for unloading by means of traction means equipping the dock.
- the vehicle and platform floors are made of flat steel sheets and the load mat is made of metal links articulated between them and equipped with rollers to assist its translation, also facilitated by a supply of air compressed.
- the motorization of the load carpet is ensured by a hydraulic motor driving chains and gears.
- the aim of the invention is to propose a simpler and more rational technology for a translational and slippery load conveyor capable of moving from a building platform inside a vehicle and vice versa from a vehicle to a vehicle.
- the translation of the load carpet and its sliding on the surfaces of the vehicle and the dock are provided by flat textile straps wound respectively on the hub of electric or hydraulic winches equipping one vehicle, the other the dock and whose criteria correspond to the embedded load.
- Each end of the load carpet is fixed by clamping between two upper and lower sill bars, located upstream and downstream of said textile mat and serving for hooking and unhooking said traction straps respectively equipped with a system of hanging at the threshold bars of the moving carpet.
- the guiding of the load carpet is achieved by means of slides formed respectively of a slider secured to the lower threshold bar provided at each end of the load carpet and slidable in a groove digging the floors of the building and vehicle dock in their median axis and extending from one edge to the other of said platform and said vehicle.
- the textile load carpet during its translations from the vehicle to the building platform and vice versa from the vehicle to the platform, undergoes very little constraint, because in loading mode the vehicle is positioned below the level of the building platform and in unloading the vehicle is positioned above the level of the building platform, and this through optical cells provided either on the building or on the vehicle and giving the order to a building controller or on board the vehicle to manage the height of this positioning by acting on the pneumatic pressures of the vehicle suspensions, the high positioning of the vehicle being effected by increasing the pneumatic pressure of the suspensions, while the low positioning is effected by reducing this same pressure.
- Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of the sliding mobile load device object of the invention with the drive motors of the winches on which roll the traction straps of the carpet.
- Figure 2 is a schematic plan view of the movable carpet sliding with its hooking means of the traction straps.
- Figure 3 is a detailed view of the attachment of a strap to the threshold bar equipping each end of the carpet.
- Figure 4 shows schematically guide rails and centering threshold bars of the moving carpet extending from the winch of the building platform to the front of the vehicle.
- Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the slidable conveyor belt showing the slider and a guide and centering guide included in a building or vehicle platform floor.
- Figure 6 is an elevational view of a roadway equipped with a sled aligning and centering a vehicle with three axles backed to a building platform.
- Figure 7 is a schematic plan view of the previous device with a single axle shown with a free centering roller on the alignment sled.
- the numerical markers denote, respectively: 1 the sliding moving carpet; 2 the upstream and downstream threshold bars equipping the moving belt;
- the guide slide of the slide 9 included in a dock or vehicle floor; 11 the building platform floor;
- the device according to the invention consists of a mobile and sliding load mat 1 connected at its ends to flat traction straps 4, for example of textile, but not exclusively, wound on the drum of powered winches 5 equipping the building floor 11 and the vehicle floor 12.
- the load carpet 1 may be, for example but not exclusively, braided textile fabric whose faces are covered with rubber. It is of rectangular shape whose length and width have substantially the dimensions of all or part of the vehicle floor 12.
- each end of the load carpet 1 is clamped between the two parts, upper 6 and lower 7, a threshold bar 2 for docking the straps 4 by means of secure fastening systems 3 (FIG. 1), the two elements 6, 7 being associated by means of clamping screws 8.
- Figures 4 and 5 show the guiding and centering means of the load carpet 1.
- the building platform floor 11 and the vehicle floor 12 each comprise in its median axis a slideway 10 in the groove of which can include a slide 9 made integral with the lower element 7 of the threshold bars 2.
- the two rails 10 of the building floor 11 respectively of the vehicle floor 12 extend in line with each other. the other to form, on either side of the junction line 13 between the building and the vehicle, a guide rail of the sliders 9 of the threshold bars 2.
- FIGS 6 and 7 there is shown a means of alignment of the vehicle 12 and the platform 16 of the building, made by a sledge 14 fixed on the road 15 serving to guide the rollers 19 mounted free on the axles 18 wheels 17 of the vehicle. With their cheeks 20, the rollers 19 are mechanically centered on the sled and automatically determine the alignment of the vehicle with respect to the platform 16 of the building against which it leans. Vehicles not equipped with cargo mats according to the invention can nevertheless load and unload their goods because the low height of the sled allows the axles of said vehicles to escape.
- the slippage of the load carpet 1 undergoes very little constraint, because in loading mode the vehicle is positioned below the level of the platform 16 of the building, while in unloading mode the vehicle is positioned above the level of said dock of building.
- a and indeed, optical cells provided either on the building or on the vehicle give the order to a building controller or on board the vehicle to manage this height and is positioned by acting on the pneumatic pressures of the vehicle suspensions. The high positioning takes place by increasing the pneumatic pressure of the suspensions, while the low positioning of the vehicle is effected by the decrease of this pressure.
