PALETTE DE MANUTENTION, NOTAMMENT DESTINEE A LA CULTURE ET LA
MANUTENTION DE PRODUITS HORTICOLES EN MOTTES OU MINI-MOTTES.HANDLING PALETTE, ESPECIALLY FOR CULTURE AND
HANDLING OF HORTICULTURAL PRODUCTS IN MOTTES OR MINI-MOTTES.
L'invention concerne une palette de manutention notamment destinée à la culture et à la manutention de produits horticoles en mottes ou en minimottes. The invention relates to a handling pallet intended in particular for the cultivation and handling of horticultural products in clods or miniballs.
La culture de plants en mini-mottes est réalisée chez les horticulteurs en utilisant des plaques de polystyrène trouées dont chacune des alvéoles est remplie avec du terreau ensemencé. Dans un premier temps, ces plaques alvéolées sont déposées dans une chambre de germination dans laquelle elles doivent être disposées de façon à permettre une circulation d'air chaud sous chaque plaque. Dans un deuxième temps, les plants sont cultivés dans des serres dans lesquelles les plaques sont disposées les unes à côté des autres, sur des supports permettant de ménager une circulation d'air entre le sol de la serre et ces plaques. Enfin, une fois les plants parvenus à maturation, les plaques sont livrées chez des revendeurs. A l'heure actuelle, à chacune des opérations de transfert de plaques correspond un coût de main d'oeuvre important.En outre, il n' existe aucun moyen rationnel pour supporter les plaques notamment dans les serres, et les solutions employées sont la plupart du temps très archalques, telles que pots de fleurs retournés, madriers disposés parallèlement... The cultivation of seedlings in mini-clods is carried out in horticulturalists using perforated polystyrene plates, each of the cells of which is filled with seeded potting soil. Initially, these honeycombed plates are placed in a germination chamber in which they must be arranged so as to allow a circulation of hot air under each plate. In a second step, the plants are grown in greenhouses in which the plates are arranged next to each other, on supports allowing air circulation between the soil of the greenhouse and these plates. Finally, once the plants have reached maturity, the plates are delivered to dealers. At present, each of the plate transfer operations has a significant labor cost. In addition, there is no rational way to support the plates, especially in greenhouses, and the solutions used are most very archaic times, such as inverted flower pots, planks arranged in parallel ...
La présente invention vise à pallier ces inconvénients et a pour principal objectif de fournir une palette de manutention permettant de rationaliser la culture des plants et procurant un gain de coût de main-d'oeuvre important. The present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and has the main objective of providing a handling pallet making it possible to rationalize the cultivation of the plants and providing a significant saving in labor cost.
(Pour faciliter la compréhension et simplifier la terminologie, la palette de manutention sera décrite ci-après en la supposant disposée sur le sol). (To facilitate understanding and simplify the terminology, the handling pallet will be described below, assuming it is placed on the ground).
A cet effet l'invention vise une palette de manutention, notamment destinée à la culture et la manutention de produits horticoles en mottes ou mini-mottes, du type comprenant un plateau reposant sur des supports. Selon l'invention, les supports de cette palette sont au nombre de quatre ou d'un multiple de quatre, répartis latéralement le long de deux bords opposés du plateau, et comprennent, chacun, un pied présentant la forme d'un profil ouvert de section évasée vers le haut adaptée pour permettre l'emboîtement de deux pieds superposés, et un organe d'appui agencé sensiblement parallèlement au plateau, juxtaposé au pied vers l'extrémité haute de ce dernier, lesdits supports étant disposés de façon que deux palettes, dites supérieure et inférieure, puissent être superposées dans deux positions différentes par simple rotation relative de 1800
- une position, dite de culture, où les pieds de la palette supérieure reposent sur les organes d'appui de la palette inférieure de façon que les plateaux desdites palettes se trouvent à distance l'un au-dessus de l'autre,
- une position, dite de stockage, ou les pieds de la palette supérieure sont emboités dans les pieds de la palette inférieure de façon que les plateaux reposent l'un sur l'autre.To this end, the invention relates to a handling pallet, in particular intended for the cultivation and handling of horticultural products in clods or mini-clods, of the type comprising a tray resting on supports. According to the invention, the supports of this pallet are four in number or a multiple of four, distributed laterally along two opposite edges of the plate, and each include a foot having the shape of an open profile of flared upward section adapted to allow the interlocking of two superimposed feet, and a support member arranged substantially parallel to the plate, juxtaposed at the foot towards the high end of the latter, said supports being arranged so that two pallets, said upper and lower, can be superimposed in two different positions by simple relative rotation of 1800
a so-called cultivation position where the feet of the upper pallet rest on the support members of the lower pallet so that the plates of said pallets are spaced one above the other,
- A position, called storage, or the feet of the upper pallet are fitted into the feet of the lower pallet so that the plates rest on one another.
Une telle palette présente l'avantage d'être utilisable, à la fois, comme support de culture et comme support de manutention, lors de la culture de produits horticoles en mottes ou en mini-mottes. Such a pallet has the advantage of being usable both as a growing medium and as a handling medium when cultivating horticultural products in clods or in mini-clods.
En effet, par exemple, lors de la culture de plants en mini-mottes disposées dans les alvéoles de plaques en polystyrène, ces plaques, une fois ensemencées, sont disposées sur une pluralité de palettes qui sont, dans un premier temps, empilées dans leur position de culture dans la chambre de germination. Dans cette chambre, la distance entre les plateaux des différentes palettes autorise la circulation d'air chaud nécessaire à la germination. Indeed, for example, during the cultivation of mini-clod plants placed in the cells of polystyrene plates, these plates, once sown, are arranged on a plurality of pallets which are, first of all, stacked in their growing position in the germination chamber. In this room, the distance between the trays of the different pallets allows the circulation of hot air necessary for germination.
Dans un deuxième temps, les paLettes, toujours empilées, sont amenées dans une serre au moyen par exemple d'un chariot-élévateur. Dans cette serre, elles sont ensuite disposées côte à côte, la distance entre les plateaux et le sol autorisant la circulation d'air nécessaire. En outre, il est à noter que les supports étant disposés latéralement sur les bords des plateaux, un espace est ménagé entre deux palettes voisines. Cet espace permet d'obtenir une distribution homogène de l'air, et ainsi, de pallier aux inconvénients fréquemment rencontrés avec les solutions actuellement utilisées.En effet, à l'heure actuelle, les plaques alvéolées sont classiquement disposées côte à côte sur des largeurs de l'ordre de quelques mètres et il s'avère que l'on constate que l'air a tendance à s'accumuler au niveau de la zone médiane de ces largeurs, entraînant soit une croissance plus rapide des plants situés dans cette zone, soit des problèmes sanitaires dus à un échauffement excessif dans cette zone. In a second step, the pallets, always stacked, are brought into a greenhouse using, for example, a forklift. In this greenhouse, they are then placed side by side, the distance between the plates and the ground allowing the necessary air circulation. In addition, it should be noted that the supports being arranged laterally on the edges of the plates, a space is provided between two adjacent pallets. This space makes it possible to obtain a homogeneous distribution of the air, and thus, to overcome the drawbacks frequently encountered with the solutions currently used. Indeed, at the present time, the honeycomb plates are conventionally arranged side by side over widths on the order of a few meters and it turns out that the air tends to accumulate at the level of the middle zone of these widths, causing either faster growth of the plants located in this zone, or health problems due to excessive heating in this area.
Enfin un dernier avantage inhérent à l'utilisation de ces palettes dans les serres, réside dans le fait que celles-ci peuvent être disposées n'importe où et ne nécessitent donc pas que soit bloquée de façon systématique une surface donnée de la serre. Finally, a final advantage inherent in the use of these pallets in greenhouses lies in the fact that these can be placed anywhere and therefore do not require that a given area of the greenhouse be systematically blocked.
Dans un troisième temps, une fois les plants arrivés à maturation, les palet tes sont à nouveau empilées dans leur position de culture en vue de la livraison de ces plants. On constate donc que ces palettes servent de support aux plaques, tant lors de la culture des plants que lors de leur livraison et que, par conséquent, d'une part, la culture se trouve parfaitement rationalisée et, d'autre part, les coûts de main-d'oeuvre sont notablement diminués. Thirdly, once the plants have reached maturity, the pallets are again stacked in their cultivation position for the delivery of these plants. It can therefore be seen that these pallets serve to support the plates, both during the cultivation of the plants and during their delivery and that, consequently, on the one hand, the culture is perfectly rationalized and, on the other hand, the costs of labor are significantly reduced.
Enfin, une fois la livraison effectuée, les palettes sont empilées dans leur position de stockage, et occupent donc un volume minimal facilitant leur transport et leur stockage. Finally, once the delivery has been made, the pallets are stacked in their storage position, and therefore occupy a minimum volume facilitating their transport and storage.
Comme décrit ci-dessus, ces palettes peuvent être utilisées pour la culture de plants en mini-mottes. Dans ce cas, le plateau comporte préférentiellement un cadre tubulaire périphérique sur lequel sont fixés latéralement les supports, et des traverses reliant deux côtés opposés dudit cadre et disposés de façon à affleurer supérieurement ce dernier. As described above, these pallets can be used for growing mini-plug plants. In this case, the plate preferably comprises a peripheral tubular frame on which the supports are fixed laterally, and crosspieces connecting two opposite sides of said frame and arranged so as to be flush with the latter.
Elles peuvent toutefois être également utilisées pour la culture de mottes disposées dans des pots de fleurs. Dans ce cas, le plateau comprend préférentiellement un cadre périphérique tubulaire, sur lequel sont fixés latéralement les supports, et une tôle s'étendant dans le plan du plateau et solidarisée audit cadre, ladite tôle étant dotée de perforations espacées aptes à loger chacune un pot renfermant un produit horticole. They can however also be used for the cultivation of clods arranged in flower pots. In this case, the plate preferably comprises a tubular peripheral frame, on which the supports are fixed laterally, and a sheet extending in the plane of the plate and secured to said frame, said sheet being provided with spaced perforations capable of each housing a pot. containing a horticultural product.
D'autres caractéristiques, buts et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description détaillée qui suit en référence aux dessins annexés qui en représentent, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, deux modes de réalisation préférentiels.

La palette de manutention 1 représentée aux figures 1 à 5 est destinée à la culture et au transport de plants en mini-mottes dans des plaques alvéolées. The handling pallet 1 shown in Figures 1 to 5 is intended for the cultivation and transport of seedlings in mini-clods in honeycomb trays.
Cette palette 1 comprend en premier lieu un plateau constitué d'un cadre tubulaire périphérique 2 de section carrée, et de trois traverses 3 parallèles reliant deux côtés dudit cadre et affleurant sa face supérieure. This pallet 1 firstly comprises a plate consisting of a peripheral tubular frame 2 of square section, and of three parallel crosspieces 3 connecting two sides of said frame and flush with its upper face.
Ce plateau comprend, en outre, des cornières latérales 4 solidarisées extérieurement sur le cadre 2 dans chaque angle de ce dernier, et agencées pour faire saillie audessus du plan dudit plateau. De plues, sur chaque côté du cadre périphérique 2 parallèle aux traverses 3 et dans la zone médiane de ce coté, est solidarisé, extérieurement, un fer plat 5 agencé pour faire saillie au-dessus du plan du plateau. This tray further comprises side angles 4 secured externally to the frame 2 in each corner thereof, and arranged to protrude above the plane of said tray. In addition, on each side of the peripheral frame 2 parallel to the crosspieces 3 and in the median zone on this side, is secured, externally, a flat iron 5 arranged to protrude above the plane of the plate.
Cette palette 1 comporte, par ailleurs, quatre supports 6 disposés deux à deux le lonq des côtés du cadre 2 parallèles aux traverses 3. Chacun de ces supports 6 comporte un pied 7 constitué de deux branches 7a, 7b agencées en forme de V, et un retour horizontal 8 de forme concave prolongeant une des branches 7a du pied 7 et s'étendant sensiblement sous le plan du plateau. This pallet 1 comprises, moreover, four supports 6 arranged two by two along the sides of the frame 2 parallel to the crosspieces 3. Each of these supports 6 comprises a foot 7 consisting of two branches 7a, 7b arranged in the form of a V, and a horizontal return 8 of concave shape extending one of the branches 7a of the foot 7 and extending substantially below the plane of the plate.
Tel que représenté à la figure 4, ces supports 6 sont disposés de façon que :
- les supports 6 situés le long d'un même côté du plateau sont agencés symétriquement par rapport à l'axe médian de la longueur dudit côté,
- les supports 6 de deux côtés opposés sont disposés en regard, deux par deux, et agencés de façon que le pied 7 desdits supports se trouve dans l'alignement de l'organe d'appui 8 des supports 6 en vis-à-vis.As shown in FIG. 4, these supports 6 are arranged so that:
the supports 6 located along the same side of the plate are arranged symmetrically with respect to the median axis of the length of said side,
- The supports 6 on two opposite sides are arranged opposite, two by two, and arranged so that the foot 7 of said supports is in alignment with the support member 8 of the supports 6 facing each other .
Cette disposition permet d'empiler deux palettes la, lb, par simple rotation relative de 1800
