Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

L'invention concerne un poste de travail ergonomique pour horloger comportant, de part et d'autre d'une plate-forme de travail, deux supports d'avant-bras chacun réglable au moins en inclinaison dans un plan vertical.The invention relates to an ergonomic watchmaking workstation comprising, on either side of a work platform, two forearm supports each adjustable at least in inclination in a vertical plane.

L'invention concerne le domaine du mobilier technique pour personnel travaillant assis, et accomplissant des tâches de précision à hauteur des yeux.The invention relates to the field of technical furniture for seated staff, and performing precision tasks at eye level.

Arrière-plan de l'inventionBackground of the invention

Les personnes effectuant des tâches manuelles d'horlogerie travaillent souvent avec les mains à hauteur des yeux, et occupent des postes de travail surélevés, où leurs avant-bras sont en position sensiblement horizontale. Malgré cet agencement particulier, ces personnes sont souvent l'objet de troubles musculo-squelettiques, notamment d'épikondylites au niveau du poignet, du coude ou de l'épaule, et de problèmes de colonne vertébrale, ainsi qu'une fatigue difficilement mesurable.People performing manual watchmaking tasks often work with their hands at eye level, and occupy elevated workstations, where their forearms are in a substantially horizontal position. Despite this particular arrangement, these people are often subject to musculoskeletal disorders, including epikondylitis in the wrist, elbow or shoulder, and spinal problems, as well as fatigue difficult to measure.

Le document CH248542 au nom de MEYER & STUEDELI décrit un établi avec des supports d'avant-bras formant, en vue de dessus, un angle obtus entre eux, et chacun incliné selon un plan vertical, et saillant de l'établi vers l'utilisateur pour lui éviter de se pencher en avant.The document CH248542 in the name of MEYER & STUEDELI describes a workbench with forearm supports forming, in top view, an obtuse angle between them, and each inclined in a vertical plane, and protruding from the workbench to the user for him avoid leaning forward.

Le document FR1400357 au nom de SORMEL décrit un établi avec des surfaces de support d'avant-bras symétriques et inclinées chacune dans un plan vertical, de part et d'autre d'une plate-forme horizontale formant plan de travail, notamment sensiblement trapézoïdale, avec laquelle ces supports d'avant-bras forment une surface continue et sans aspérité, couverte de revêtements appropriés, d'une part aux supports d'avant-bras, et d'autre part au plan de travail.The document FR1400357 in the name of SORMEL describes a workbench with symmetrical forearm support surfaces and each inclined in a vertical plane, on either side of a horizontal platform forming a working plane, in particular substantially trapezoidal, with which these forearm supports form a continuous and smooth surface, covered with appropriate coverings, on the one hand for the forearm supports, and on the other hand the worktop.

On connaît des perfectionnements de ce type d'établi avec des supports d'avant-bras chacun réglables en inclinaison dans un plan vertical par un embiellage.There are known improvements of this type of workbench with forearm supports each adjustable in inclination in a vertical plane by a linkage.

Toutefois ces aménagements sont insuffisants pour des personnels qui doivent travailler avec les coudes appuyés sur une surface d'appui, et avec le dos appuyé sur le dossier d'un siège.However, these arrangements are insufficient for staff who have to work with the elbows supported on a support surface, and with the back resting on the back of a seat.

Résumé de l'inventionSummary of the invention

L'invention se propose de procurer à l'utilisateur horloger un poste de travail à ergonomie améliorée, plus facilement adaptable à la morphologie de l'utilisateur et aux tâches à effectuer que les systèmes connus de l'art antérieur.The invention proposes to provide the watchmaker user a workstation with improved ergonomics, more easily adaptable to the morphology of the user and the tasks to be performed than the known systems of the prior art.

Outre des possibilités de réglage selon plusieurs degrés de liberté, l'invention comporte des réglages motorisés, mémorisables et paramétrables, et les moyens moteurs utilisés pour les réglages autorisent l'exécution programmable de micro-mouvements destinés à prévenir toute ankylose chez l'utilisateur.In addition to adjustment possibilities according to several degrees of freedom, the invention includes motorized, memorizable and parameterizable settings, and the motor means used for the settings allow the programmable execution of micro-movements intended to prevent ankylosis in the user.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un poste de travail ergonomique pour horloger comportant, de part et d'autre d'une plate-forme de travail, deux supports d'avant-bras réglable chacun en inclinaison dans un plan vertical, caractérisé en ce que ledit poste de travail comporte des moyens de réglage motorisés pour le déplacement de chaque dit support d'avant-bras selon au moins un degré de liberté.To this end, the invention relates to an ergonomic workstation for a watchmaker comprising, on either side of a work platform, two forearm supports each adjustable in inclination in a vertical plane, characterized in that said workstation comprises motorized adjustment means for moving each said forearm support in at least one degree of freedom.

Une course de 20 à 30 mm de part et d'autre d'une position médiane s'avère en général suffisante pour un bon confort de l'utilisateur.Advantageously, in particular, the forearm supports 3D, 3G, comprise armrests which comprise armrest stops, for example in the form of a holding flange, for the support of the elbow, which abutments armrest are adjustable by manual means, or by motorized means which are then advantageously controlled by the adjusting means 4. A stroke of 20 to 30 mm on either side of a median position is generally sufficient for a good comfort of the user.

Plus particulièrement, les supports d'avant-bras 3D ; 3G, sont chacun réglable au moins en inclinaison dans un plan vertical par pivotement autour d'un axe de tangage ATD, ATG, parallèle à la plate-forme de travail 2.More particularly, 3D forearm supports; 3G, are each adjustable at least in inclination in a vertical plane by pivoting about a pitch axis ATD, ATG, parallel to the working platform 2.

Plus particulièrement, les supports d'avant-bras 3D, 3G, sont chacun réglable au moins en ouverture par rapport à la plate-forme de travail 2, par pivotement autour d'un axe de lacet ALD, ALG, qui est perpendiculaire à la plate-forme de travail 2.More particularly, the forearm supports 3D, 3G, are each adjustable at least in opening relative to the working platform 2, by pivoting about an axis of yaw ALD, ALG, which is perpendicular to the work platform 2.

Dans une réalisation plus complexe, non illustrée par les figures, les axes de lacet ALD et ALG sont écartés d'un entraxe E qui est variable et est réglable par des moyens manuels ou par des moyens motorisés de préférence commandés par les moyens de réglage 4.In a more complex embodiment, not illustrated by the figures, the yaw axes ALD and ALG are spaced apart by a distance E which is variable and is adjustable by manual means or by motorized means preferably controlled by the adjusting means 4. .

Plus particulièrement, les supports d'avant-bras 3D, 3G, sont chacun réglable en roulis autour d'un axe de roulis ARD, ARG, parallèle à une direction longitudinale laquelle s'étend sensiblement le support d'avant-bras 3D, 3G, concerné.More particularly, the 3D forearm supports, 3G, are each adjustable in roll around a roll axis ARD, ARG, parallel to a longitudinal direction which substantially extends the forearm support 3D, 3G , concerned.

Dans une variante particulière, les supports d'avant-bras 3D, 3G, comportent chacun une partie inférieure 31 D, 31 G, dont le mouvement est commandé par les moyens de réglage 4, et une partie supérieure 33D, 33G, qui est porteuse d'un accoudoir et mobile parallèlement à la partie inférieure 31 D, 31 G, respective, sous l'action de moyens de réglage d'écartement 32D, 32G réglables par des moyens manuels, par des moyens motorisés de préférence commandés par les moyens de réglage 4. Une course totale de 50 à 60 mm suffit en général pour toutes les morphologies d'utilisateurs.In a particular variant, the forearm supports 3D, 3G, each comprise a lower portion 31 D, 31 G, whose movement is controlled by the adjusting means 4, and an upper portion 33D, 33G, which is a carrier of an armrest and movable parallel to the lower part 31 D, 31 G, respectively, under the action of spacing adjustment means 32D, 32G adjustable by manual means, by motorized means preferably controlled by the adjusting means 4. A total stroke of 50 to 60 mm is generally sufficient for all user morphologies.

Plus particulièrement, le poste de travail 1 comporte un moteur unique, et les moyens de réglage 4 commandent des éléments d'une timonerie 5 pour imprimer différents mouvements aux supports d'avant-bras 3D, 3G.More particularly, the workstation 1 comprises a single motor, and the adjusting means 4 control elements of a wheelhouse 5 to print different movements to the forearm supports 3D, 3G.

De façon avantageuse, et particulièrement utile lors des réglages initiaux, les moyens de pilotage 40 et de mémorisation sont agencés pour permettre un retour instantané à une position symétrique des supports d'avant-bras 3D, 3G, par rapport à un plan de symétrie PS de la plate-forme de travail 2, en réponse à une action d'un utilisateur sur une interface utilisateur 400 reliée aux moyens de pilotage 40 et de mémorisation. En effet, pour un réglage optimal, l'utilisateur part d'une position parfaitement symétrique, et effectue des réglages différentiels jusqu'à l'obtention d'une position de travail qui lui convienne.Advantageously, and particularly useful during initial adjustments, the control means 40 and storage are arranged to allow instantaneous return to a symmetrical position of the forearm supports 3D, 3G, relative to a symmetry plane PS of the work platform 2, in response to an action of a user on a user interface 400 connected to the control means 40 and storage. In fact, for optimal adjustment, the user starts from a perfectly symmetrical position, and makes differential adjustments until a working position is obtained that suits him.

Les moyens de pilotage 40 et de mémorisation peuvent, encore, avantageusement être agencés pour commander, directement ou par l'intermédiaire des moyens de réglage 4, des fonctions annexes, ou des moyens d'élévation 60 agencés pour commander un mouvement vertical de la plate-forme de travail 2 par rapport à un bâti 10, ou des mouvements de manoeuvre 70 d'accessoires 11 positionnés sur une surface supérieure 9 de la plate-forme de travail 2.The control means 40 and storage may, again, advantageously be arranged to control, directly or through the adjustment means 4, auxiliary functions, or elevation means 60 arranged to control a vertical movement of the plate working form 2 with respect to a frame 10, or actuating motions 70 of accessories 11 positioned on an upper surface 9 of the working platform 2.

La plate-forme de travail 2 peut, encore, si nécessaire être inclinée, et son dévers face à l'utilisateur peut être ajusté, de l'ordre de plus ou moins 2° par rapport à un plan horizontal; au-delà de ces valeurs, il vaut mieux positionner un plateau multi-axes, notamment cinq axes, sur la plate-forme 2.The working platform 2 can, if necessary, be inclined, and its cant facing the user can be adjusted, of the order of plus or minus 2 ° with respect to a horizontal plane; beyond these values, it is better to position a multi-axis plate, especially five axes, on the platform 2.

Les figures 15 et 16 illustrent un poste de travail 1, dont la structure porteuse est un meuble dont les montants latéraux sont réglables en hauteur.The Figures 15 and 16 illustrate a workstation 1, whose supporting structure is a piece of furniture whose lateral uprights are adjustable in height.

Dans une variante plus complète encore, le poste de travail comporte un siège pour l'utilisateur, muni de capteurs d'effort reliés aux moyens de pilotage 40 et de mémorisation. En particulier, des capteurs de poids permettent aux moyens de pilotage 40 d'appliquer des périodes de modification de position plus courtes pour les personnes les plus lourdes.In a still more complete variant, the workstation comprises a seat for the user, equipped with force sensors connected to the control means 40 and memory. In particular, weight sensors allow the control means 40 to apply shorter position modification periods for the heavier persons.

Et, plus particulièrement, les moyens de pilotage 40 et de mémorisation sont alors agencés pour commander les moyens de réglage 4 pour ajuster la distance entre le siège et la plate-forme de travail 2. Naturellement, des capteurs de couple ou d'effort sont agencés pour stopper tout mouvement relatif en cas de pincement ou d'écrasement d'un membre.And, more particularly, the control means 40 and storage are then arranged to control the adjustment means 4 to adjust the distance between the seat and the work platform 2. Naturally, sensors torque or effort are arranged to stop any relative movement in case of pinching or crushing of a limb.

Naturellement, un tel siège peut lui aussi être équipé comme les supports d'avant-bras 3D, 3G, pour assurer un confort lombaire, un bon appui du cou pour la protection des vertèbres cervicales, une inclinaison d'appuie-tête, ou encore un maintien au niveau des aisselles, ou autre.Naturally, such a seat can also be equipped as forearm support 3D, 3G, to ensure lumbar comfort, a good neck support for the protection of cervical vertebrae, a tilt of headrest, or a maintenance at the armpits, or other.

L'invention se prête bien à une fabrication modulaire pour améliorer un poste de travail existant. Notamment un module élémentaire peut consister en un support d'avant-bras unique, 3D ou 3G, équipé pour autoriser des mouvements sur plusieurs degrés de liberté, et pré-disposé pour une motorisation par un équipement de timonerie pré-monté. Le même module peut, encore, comporter un moteur d'actionnement, et des raccordements vers une interface utilisateur 400, des moyens de pilotage 40 et de mémorisation, et des moyens de réglage 4. Un module double consiste en un châssis équipé des deux supports d'avant-bras 3D et 3G, en version mécanique prédisposée à la motorisation, ou bien déjà motorisée.The invention lends itself well to modular manufacturing to improve an existing workstation. In particular, an elementary module may consist of a single forearm support, 3D or 3G, equipped to allow movements on several degrees of freedom, and pre-arranged for motorization by pre-assembled wheelhouse equipment. The same module may also include an actuating motor, and connections to a user interface 400, control means 40 and storage, and adjustment means 4. A dual module consists of a frame equipped with two supports forearms 3D and 3G, mechanical version predisposed to the motorization, or already motorized.
