Description
La présente invention concerne un élément et un dispositif de manutention d'une structure lourde pour la construction, telles que des voussoirs de ponts. Le
La préfabrication de voussoirs joue un rôle majeur dans la construction d'ouvrages d'art de grande taille. Le transport et le stockage de ces pièces - dont la hauteur peut dépasser 8 mètres et dont la masse peut être supérieure à 100 tonnes - posent de réelles contraintes tant sur le plan de la conception que sur celui de la sécurité.Prefabrication of voussoirs plays a major role in the construction of large structures. The transport and storage of these parts - the height of which can exceed 8 meters and whose mass can be greater than 100 tons - pose real constraints in terms of both design and security.
En effet, les voussoirs préfabriqués sont tout d'abord stockés, par exemple à proximité de leur lieu de fabrication, puis acheminés vers le chantier sur lequel ils seront assemblés, et enfin mis en place avec les inclinaisons (dévers et pente) appropriées. Ceci nécessite donc de nombreuses opérations de manutention et de transport.Indeed, prefabricated segments are first stored, for example near their place of manufacture, then routed to the site where they will be assembled, and finally set up with the appropriate inclinations (slope and slope). This therefore requires many handling and transport operations.
En ce qui concerne le stockage, en raison de la taille importante des voussoirs, il est généralement préférable de les empiler afin de minimiser l'encombrement au sol.With regard to storage, because of the large size of the segments, it is generally preferable to stack them to minimize the footprint.
Pour les manipuler, il est connu de prévoir, lors de la coulée du béton, des inserts métalliques, tels que des ancres à pied, sur leur partie supérieure. Ces inserts constituent des moyens pour la préhension par le palonnier d'un appareil de levage tel qu'une grue télescopique, un portique ou un pont roulant (également appelé lanceur).To handle them, it is known to provide, during the casting of the concrete, metal inserts, such as foot anchors, on their upper part. These inserts are means for gripping the lifting beam of a lifting device such as a telescopic crane, a gantry crane or a traveling crane (also called launcher).
Toutefois, dans ce cas, une intervention humaine est nécessaire pour accrocher l'insert au palonnier.However, in this case, human intervention is necessary to hook the insert to the rudder.
Outre son aspect fastidieux, cette intervention à une hauteur élevée n'est pas sans risque pour l'opérateur. En effet, il est difficile de mettre en place des protections collectives pour cette phase très courte d'intervention.In addition to its tedious appearance, this intervention at a high height is not without risk for the operator. Indeed, it is difficult to put in place collective protections for this very short phase of intervention.
Par ailleurs, après la mise en place du voussoir à son emplacement définitif, il est nécessaire d'ôter les inserts métalliques, ou de les noyer dans le béton, car leur corrosion est susceptible de fragiliser le voussoir. Ceci nécessite donc une opération supplémentaire pénalisante en termes de durée d'intervention et de coût, les inserts étant perdus.Moreover, after the establishment of the voussoir in its final location, it is necessary to remove the metal inserts, or walnut in the concrete, because their corrosion is likely to weaken the voussoir. This therefore requires an additional penalizing operation in terms of duration of intervention and cost, the inserts being lost.
Pour y remédier, il est connu d'employer une tige filetée traversant le voussoir de haut en bas, et retenue par un écrou. Toutefois, cette solution s'avère peu satisfaisante car elle nécessite également une intervention humaine et prend du temps.To remedy this, it is known to use a threaded rod through the voussoir from top to bottom, and held by a nut. However, this solution is unsatisfactory because it also requires human intervention and takes time.
Un premier but de l'invention est donc de concevoir un dispositif pour lever des structures lourdes, ne nécessitant pas la présence d'un opérateur à proximité des apparaux de levage. Ce dispositif doit toutefois être compatible avec des moyens de manipulation classiques pour permettre le levage du voussoir par un sous-traitant ou un autre intervenant du chantier qui ne disposerait pas de ce dispositif.A first object of the invention is therefore to design a device for lifting heavy structures, not requiring the presence of an operator near the lifting gear. This device must, however, be compatible with conventional handling means to allow the lifting of the voussoir by a subcontractor or other stakeholder of the site that does not have this device.
Un autre but de l'invention est de s'affranchir de l'opération de retrait ou de traitement des inserts métalliques. Le dispositif doit donc être amovible et réutilisable.Another object of the invention is to overcome the operation of withdrawal or treatment of metal inserts. The device must be removable and reusable.
Enfin, le dispositif doit permettre la mise en place du voussoir selon des inclinaisons données, en fonction de sa position sur l'ouvrage.Finally, the device must allow the establishment of the voussoir at given inclinations, depending on its position on the book.
Conformément à l'invention, il est proposé un élément pour la manutention d'une structure lourde pour la construction, comprenant :
- une tige,
- un élément mobile articulé sur la tige, apte à être escamoté le long de la tige pour l'insertion et le retrait de ladite structure et à être déployé selon une inclinaison déterminée par rapport à la tige pour le levage de ladite structure,
- des moyens pour escamoter ou déployer l'élément mobile,
- a rod,
- a movable member articulated on the rod, able to be retracted along the rod for the insertion and withdrawal of said structure and to be deployed at a given inclination relative to the rod for lifting said structure,
- means for retracting or deploying the movable element,
La coopération de cette portion et de ce logement hémisphériques permet de recentrer la charge et de la transférer aux suspentes de la tige, mais aussi de modifier l'orientation des suspentes sous charge.The cooperation of this portion and this hemispherical housing allows to refocus the load and transfer it to the lines of the rod, but also to change the orientation of the lines under load.
Par « structure lourde », on entend dans le présent texte une structure d'une masse supérieure à 1 tonne, de préférence de l'ordre de quelques dizaines, voire centaines de tonnes. Ladite structure peut être manipulée au moyen d'un ou plusieurs éléments de levage conformes à l'invention, chaque élément de levage étant dimensionné pour une charge de 1 à 50 tonnes environ, voire davantage.By "heavy structure" is meant in the present text a structure with a mass greater than 1 ton, preferably of the order of a few tens, or even hundreds of tons. Said structure can be manipulated by means of one or more lifting elements according to the invention, each lifting element being dimensioned for a load of 1 to about 50 tons or more.
De manière particulièrement avantageuse, les moyens pour escamoter ou déployer l'élément mobile comprennent une gorge pour le guidage d'un axe de l'élément mobile le long des parois de la tige, entre une position supérieure dans laquelle l'élément mobile est escamoté dans la tige et une position inférieure où la portion hémisphérique de l'élément mobile est en appui dans le logement hémisphérique du siège.Particularly advantageously, the means for retracting or deploying the movable element comprise a groove for guiding an axis of the movable element along the walls of the rod, between an upper position in which the movable element is retracted. in the rod and a lower position where the hemispherical portion of the movable element bears in the hemispherical seat of the seat.
Un autre objet de l'invention concerne un dispositif de manutention d'une structure lourde pour la construction, ladite structure étant percée de part en part par des réservations verticales, ledit dispositif étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend :
- un appareil de levage, tel qu'un palonnier,
- au moins un élément de manutention tel que décrit plus haut, solidaire dudit appareil de levage.
- a hoisting apparatus, such as a spreader,
- at least one handling element as described above, integral with said lifting apparatus.
De manière avantageuse, ledit dispositif comprend en outre des moyens pour positionner l'appareil de levage de telle sorte que chaque élément de manutention soit au-dessus de la réservation correspondante de la structure.Advantageously, said device further comprises means for positioning the lifting apparatus so that each handling element is above the corresponding reservation of the structure.
Ainsi, par exemple, lesdits moyens de positionnement comprennent des capteurs optiques et la structure présente des marquages détectables par lesdits capteurs.Thus, for example, said positioning means comprise optical sensors and the structure has markings detectable by said sensors.
Selon une variante préférée, lesdits moyens de positionnement comprennent au moins une webcam orientable vers, au minimum, trois réservations de la structure.According to a preferred variant, said positioning means comprise at least one steerable webcam to, at least, three reservations of the structure.
Enfin, l'invention porte également sur un procédé de manutention d'une structure lourde pour la construction, ladite structure étant percée de part en part par des réservations verticales, ledit procédé étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend les étapes suivantes :
- (a) positionnement du dispositif de manutention tel que décrit plus haut, de manière à placer chaque élément de manutention au-dessus de la réservation correspondante,
- (b) passage de la tige de chaque élément de manutention dans la réservation correspondante,
- (c) déploiement de l'élément mobile de chaque élément de manutention sous la face inférieure de la structure.
- (a) positioning the handling device as described above, so as to place each handling element above the corresponding reservation,
- (b) passage of the rod of each handling element in the corresponding reservation,
- (c) deploying the movable member of each handling element under the underside of the structure.
De manière avantageuse, dans l'étape (a) le positionnement est réalisé par un système à capteurs optiques ou par au moins une webcam.Advantageously, in step (a) the positioning is performed by an optical sensor system or by at least one webcam.

L'homme du métier est à même de dimensionner les différents composants de l'élément de levage en fonction de la structure à manipuler.The skilled person is able to size the various components of the lifting element according to the structure to handle.
A titre d'exemple, pour un voussoir de 160 tonnes, on prévoit quatre éléments de levage dont la tige présente une hauteur de 1200 mm, une largeur de 175 mm et une épaisseur de 120 mm. Le marteau présente une longueur de 340 mm, une largeur de 100 mm et une épaisseur de 100 mm. Le diamètre de la portion périphérique 242 du marteau est de l'ordre de 75 mm.For example, for a voussoir 160 tons, there are four lifting elements whose rod has a height of 1200 mm, a width of 175 mm and a thickness of 120 mm. The hammer has a length of 340 mm, a width of 100 mm and a thickness of 100 mm. The diameter of the
Le procédé de manutention du voussoir 10 comprend les étapes successives suivantes :
- Etape 1 : équipement d'un palonnier 30 avec quatre éléments 2 décrits plus haut, pour constituer le dispositif de manutention 3.
- Etape 2 : positionnement du palonnier 30 au-dessus du voussoir 1, de manière à amener chaque élément 2 au-dessus de la réservation 10 dans laquelle il doit être introduit. Le positionnement du palonnier peut être effectué grâce à un guidage manuel par un opérateur mais, de préférence, par un système optique opérable à distance (décrit plus bas). Le marteau 24 est alors escamoté le long de la tige 20, comme illustré aux
figures 2B et4A . - Etape 3 : descente du palonnier, insertion de la tige 20 de chaque élément 2 dans la réservation 10 correspondante jusqu'à ce que les épaulements
26a et 26b viennent en butée sur la face supérieure du voussoir. - Etape 4 : lorsque la partie inférieure de chaque élément 2 atteint la surface inférieure 12 du voussoir 1, déploiement et verrouillage du marteau 24 (configuration de la
figure 2A ). Le dispositif d'actionnement du marteau permet d'incliner celui-ci en fonction du dévers et de la pente selon lesquels le voussoir devra être positionné sur le chantier. - Etape 5 : levage (
l'élément 2 présente alors la configuration de lafigure 4B ), transport du voussoir 1 et mise en place du voussoir 1 à l'emplacement souhaité. - Etape 6 : déverrouillage et escamotage du marteau 24 le long de la tige 20 de chaque élément 2 (comme sur la
figure 2B ). - Etape 7 : relevage du palonnier.
- Step 1: Equipment of a
spreader 30 with fourelements 2 described above, to constitute the handling device 3. - Step 2: Position the
rudder 30 above the voussoir 1, so as to bring eachelement 2 above thereservation 10 in which it must be introduced. The rudder can be positioned by manual guidance by an operator but preferably by a remotely operable optical system (described below). Thehammer 24 is then retracted along therod 20, as illustrated in FIGS.Figures 2B and4A . - Step 3: lowering the rudder, insertion of the
rod 20 of eachelement 2 in the correspondingreservation 10 until the 26a and 26b abut on the upper face of the voussoir.shoulders - Step 4: when the lower part of each

element 2 then presents the configuration of theFigure 4B ), transport the voussoir 1 and set up the voussoir 1 to the desired location. - Step 6: Unlocking and retracting the
hammer 24 along therod 20 of each element 2 (as on theFigure 2B ). - Step 7: Raise the rudder.
On notera que les réservations traversantes 10 permettent la manipulation du voussoir par un intervenant du chantier, tel qu'un sous-traitant, ne disposant pas des éléments de levage conformes à l'invention. Dans ce cas, l'intervenant pourra employer des moyens classiques, comme par exemple une tige filetée passant à travers la réservation et maintenue à son extrémité inférieure par un boulon.It will be noted that the traversing
De manière particulièrement avantageuse, le positionnement du dispositif est réalisé à distance au moyen d'un système de guidage optique.Particularly advantageously, the positioning of the device is achieved remotely by means of an optical guidance system.
Un système approprié est par exemple le système Spica développé par la société Arck Sensor.An appropriate system is for example the Spica system developed by Arck Sensor.
Un capteur Spica donne, selon ses modes de fonctionnement, la position d'un bord d'un objet volumineux ; cette position est donnée par un angle que fait le bord de cet objet avec l'axe optique central du capteur.A Spica sensor gives, according to its operating modes, the position of an edge of a large object; this position is given by an angle made by the edge of this object with the central optical axis of the sensor.
Un calculateur centralisateur permet l'utilisation de plusieurs capteurs Spica pour obtenir une position X, Y et selon une rotation donnée de l'objet positionné en-dessous des capteurs.A centralizing computer allows the use of several Spica sensors to obtain a position X, Y and according to a given rotation of the object positioned below the sensors.
Ces capteurs étant conçus pour la détection de containers ou de bobines en acier en-dessous de l'outil de préhension d'un portique de déchargement, ils sont robustes, résistants aux chocs et étanches.These sensors are designed for the detection of containers or steel coils below the gripping tool of a gantry unloading, they are robust, shockproof and waterproof.
Pour le repérage avant le positionnement du palonnier au-dessus du voussoir, trois capteurs 32, représentés à la
Une interface homme-machine permet à l'opérateur du palonnier de visualiser la position de celui-ci par rapport aux marquages, ce qui lui permet de le déplacer jusqu'à un positionnement correct.A man-machine interface allows the operator of the rudder to visualize the position of the rudder relative to the markings, which allows him to move it to a correct position.
Bien sûr, on peut utiliser tout autre moyen approprié, tel qu'une caméra CCD.Of course, any other suitable means, such as a CCD camera, can be used.
Selon une variante (non illustrée), on utilise une ou plusieurs webcams agencées sur le dispositif de manière à viser les réservations associées aux tiges de levage et reliées à l'interface homme-machine par tout moyen approprié, permettant ainsi l'insertion de chaque tige dans la réservation correspondante.According to a variant (not illustrated), one or more webcams are used arranged on the device so as to target the reservations associated with the lifting rods and connected to the man-machine interface by any appropriate means, thus allowing the insertion of each stem in the corresponding reservation.
Le dispositif pourra également intégrer un capteur de distance à ultrason.The device may also include an ultrasonic distance sensor.
La communication entre le calculateur centralisateur et l'interface homme-machine est réalisée de préférence au moyen de modems radio.The communication between the centralizing computer and the man-machine interface is preferably carried out by means of radio modems.
Ainsi, le dispositif conforme à l'invention présente l'avantage d'éviter l'utilisation d'inserts métalliques, tout en restant compatible avec des moyens de levage standard. Par ailleurs, la cinématique d'accrochage du voussoir est particulièrement simple et s'affranchit d'une intervention humaine.Thus, the device according to the invention has the advantage of avoiding the use of metal inserts, while remaining compatible with standard lifting means. Moreover, the cinematic attachment of the voussoir is particularly simple and free from human intervention.
En outre, les éléments de manutention sont réutilisables d'un voussoir à l'autre et il suffit, sur un chantier, d'un nombre limité d'éléments. Ainsi, dans l'exemple décrit, quatre éléments suffisent pour assurer la manutention de l'ensemble des voussoirs du chantier, alors qu'avec le dispositif classique incluant les inserts métalliques, quatre inserts par voussoirs étaient nécessaires.In addition, the handling elements are reusable from one voussoir to another and it is sufficient, on a site, a limited number of elements. Thus, in the example described, four elements are sufficient to ensure the handling of all the voussoirs of the site, while with the conventional device including metal inserts, four inserts by voussoirs were necessary.
Enfin, il va de soi que les exemples que l'on vient de donner ne sont que des illustrations particulières en aucun cas limitatives quant aux domaines d'application de l'invention.Finally, it goes without saying that the examples that we have just given are only particular illustrations in no way limiting as to the fields of application of the invention.
Ainsi, outre des voussoirs, on peut lever au moyen d'un dispositif conforme à l'invention tout autre type de structure lourde pour la construction, telle que des blocs Accropode™, qui sont des structures en béton disposées au bord de la mer pour protéger les berges des vagues.Thus, besides voussoirs, can be lifted by means of a device according to the invention any other type of heavy structure for the construction, such as Accropode ™ blocks, which are concrete structures arranged at the seaside for protect the banks of the waves.
