Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de classement de documents ou d'objets et de recherche (localisation) de documents ou d'objets classés. The present invention relates to a device for classifying documents or objects and for finding (locating) documents or classified objects.
Il existe de nombreuses méthodes pour classer des documents de manière a, bien entendu, les retrouver. La plupart de ces méthodes consistent à affecter un code au document à classer qui correspond a un dossier, lequel dossier est lui-même disposé dans l'espace de rangement dans un ordre bien déterminé correspondant à une organisation définie des codes les uns par rapport aux autres. La connaissance de la règle présidant å cette organisation permet d'accéder au dossier dont on connait le code, ce dernier étant porté d'une manière visible sur le dossier. La remise en place du dossier doit également satisfaire à la règle d'organisation du classement sans quoi le dossier sera égaré et ne sera retrouvé qu'au prix d'une recherche systématique longue, coûteuse et fastidieuse si le nombre de dossiers est important. There are many ways to organize documents so that you can find them, of course. Most of these methods consist in assigning a code to the document to be classified which corresponds to a file, which file is itself arranged in the storage space in a well-determined order corresponding to a defined organization of the codes with respect to the other. Knowledge of the rule governing this organization gives access to the file whose code is known, the latter being visible in the file. The replacement of the file must also comply with the classification organization rule, otherwise the file will be lost and will only be found at the cost of a long, costly and tedious systematic search if the number of files is large.
Ceci vaut également pour les objets de toute nature, dans un espace de stockage par exemple, les dossiers étant remplacés par des contenants (bacs, corbeilles, récipients,...).This also applies to objects of all kinds, in a storage space for example, the files being replaced by containers (bins, baskets, containers, ...).
Dans le cas d'un classement ou rangement manuel, l'organisation des dossiers (des contenants) dans l'espace est identifiable visuellement, ce qui permet l'accès direct au dossier recherché. Il existe des systèmes de classement ou d'archivage automatiques qui mettent en oeuvre des automates (par exemple des transtockeurs) qui, en fonction du code du dossier (contenant), procèdent à sa recherche et à sa manutention entre l'endroit de son stockage et celui de sa consultation ou prise en main par le demandeur. On connait également un dispositif de recherche qui comporte, entre une console informatique d'interrogation et les rayonnages, une liaison cablée qui permet l'excitation de voyants lumineux de repérage de la portion d'espace dans laquelle le dossier ou contenant recherché se trouve, en réponse à une interrogation sur la console. In the case of manual classification or storage, the organization of the files (containers) in the space is visually identifiable, which allows direct access to the desired file. There are automatic filing or archiving systems which use automatic machines (for example stacker cranes) which, depending on the code of the file (container), search for and handle it between its storage location and that of its consultation or handling by the applicant. There is also known a search device which comprises, between a computer interrogation console and the shelves, a wired connection which allows the excitation of indicator lights for locating the portion of space in which the folder or container sought is located, in response to a query on the console.
Ce genre de classement qui, d'une manière ou d'une autre, implique une organisation déterminée de l'espace est source de nombreuses erreurs qui peuvent conduire à la perte de documents ou d'objets parfois importants. Il implique également dans certains cas de devoir estimer la partie de l'espace occupée par chaque dossier ou contenant pour utiliser au mieux l'espace de rangement disponible. Or cette estimation est par définition approximative et conduit généralement à prévoir plus de place que nécessaire, donc à une médiocre utilisation de l'espace. This kind of classification which, in one way or another, involves a determined organization of space is the source of numerous errors which can lead to the loss of documents or sometimes important objects. It also implies in some cases having to estimate the part of the space occupied by each file or container to make the best use of the available storage space. However, this estimate is by definition approximate and generally leads to providing more space than necessary, therefore to poor use of space.
La présente invention permet de procéder au classement de objets ou au rangement d'objets sans avoir recours à une règle d'aménagement de l'espace contraignante et source d'erreurs au cours de la manipulation des dossiers ou des bacs qui les contiennent
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de classement et de recherche d'objets, comportant une pluralité de contenants destinés chacuns à accueillir des objets ayant une parenté, et un support de contenants, avec pour chaque contenant des moyens pour recevoir une plaquette formant étiquette d'identification du contenant, cette plaquette étant pourvue sur l'une de ses faces, d'un capteur de signaux rayonnants et d'un émetteur sonore ou lumineux, tandis qu'un circuit électronique encodé, comportant une source d'alimentation autonome, relie l'émetteur à cette source d'alimentation, en réponse à la réception par le capteur d'un signal de recherche codé correspondant à l'encodage du circuit.The present invention makes it possible to classify objects or to arrange objects without having to resort to a restrictive space planning rule which is a source of errors during the handling of the files or of the boxes which contain them.
To this end, the subject of the invention is a device for classifying and searching for objects, comprising a plurality of containers each intended to receive objects having a relationship, and a container support, with for each container means for receiving a plate forming an identification label for the container, this plate being provided on one of its faces, with a sensor of radiant signals and with a sound or light emitter, while an encoded electronic circuit, comprising a source of 'autonomous power supply, connects the transmitter to this power source, in response to the reception by the sensor of a coded search signal corresponding to the encoding of the circuit.
Parce que l'étiquette, émettrice d'un signal de présence en réponse à un signal de recherche, est solidaire de chaque contenant, l'invention permet un classement beaucoup plus simple. Because the label, emitting a presence signal in response to a search signal, is integral with each container, the invention allows a much simpler classification.
En effet, il n'y a plus de nécessité de respecter une correspondance stricte entre un contenant et une portion de l'espace définie pour le recevoir. Il s'ensuit une très grande simplification de la manutention des contenants, une grande souplesse et une optimisation de l'utilisation de l'espace et une suppression des cause de perte d'un contenant par erreur de classement. Indeed, there is no longer any need to respect a strict correspondence between a container and a portion of the space defined to receive it. It follows a very great simplification of the handling of the containers, a great flexibility and an optimization of the use of the space and a elimination of the causes of loss of a container by error of classification.
Dans un mode préféré de réalisation de cette étiquette, la source d'alimentation est constituée par une batterie de cellules photo-voltaSques situées sur la même face que le capteur et l'émetteur. In a preferred embodiment of this label, the power source consists of a battery of photovoltaic cells located on the same face as the sensor and the transmitter.
Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte également un organe émetteur de s#ignaux infra-rouges de recherche codés comportant, dans un boîtier, un circuit électronique de codage du signal infra-rouge, avec une source d'énergie embarquée et un clavier de composition du code par l'utilisateur. The device according to the invention also comprises a device for transmitting coded infrared search signals comprising, in a housing, an electronic circuit for coding the infrared signal, with an on-board energy source and a composition keyboard. code by the user.
De manière préférée, l'organe émetteur comporte une mémoire de stockage des codes, le clavier comportant des touches de sélection d'un code parmi ceux stockés. Preferably, the transmitting member includes a memory for storing codes, the keyboard comprising keys for selecting a code from among those stored.
Enfin, le dispositf selon l'invention comporte une console d'encodage des étiquettes d'identification des contenants avec un circuit électronique de codage comportant un clavier, un écran d'affichage du code composé au clavier et des bornes de connection amovible de l'étiquette. Finally, the device according to the invention comprises a console for encoding the identification labels of the containers with an electronic coding circuit comprising a keyboard, a screen for displaying the code composed on the keyboard and removable connection terminals of the label.

L'exemple représenté aux figures concerne uniquement des documents: l'invention n'est pas limitée & ce type d'objets mais au contraire s'étend aux objets quelconques susceptibles d'être soctés-destockés grâce à des contenants appropriés. The example shown in the figures relates only to documents: the invention is not limited to this type of object but on the contrary extends to any object capable of being stocked and destocked by means of suitable containers.
A la figure 1, on a représenté un rayonnage 1 sur lequel des dossiers sont disposés, ces dossiers pouvant être de n'importe quelle nature ~ dossiers à sangle 2, dossiers suspendus 3 ou boîtes d'archivage 4.. Chacun de ces dossiers porte une étiquette 6 pour son repérage et son identification. Les dimensions de cette étiquette sont de l'ordre de celles des étiquettes habituellement utilisées avec les dossiers suspendus. In Figure 1, there is shown a rack 1 on which files are arranged, these files can be of any kind ~ strap files 2, hanging files 3 or filing boxes 4 .. Each of these files carries a label 6 for its location and identification. The dimensions of this label are of the order of those of the labels usually used with hanging files.
Chaque étiquette 6, comme représenté & la figure 2 est constituée par une plaqette en matière plastique 7 qui forme boîtier pour un circuit électronique, repésenté schématiquement à la figure 3. Sur sa face avant, la plaquette comporte un jeu 8 de cellules photovoltaïques, un voyant lumineux 9, par exemple une diode électroluminescente, et un capteur infra-rouge 10. Le circuit électronique de la figure 3 illustre la présence d'un encodeur-décodeur 11 qui commande en réponse à une excitation codée du capteur infra-rouge 19, la connexion de l'émetteur lumineux 9 aux cellules photovoltaïques d'alimentation. Each label 6, as shown & FIG. 2 is constituted by a plastic plate 7 which forms a box for an electronic circuit, represented schematically in FIG. 3. On its front face, the plate comprises a set 8 of photovoltaic cells, a indicator light 9, for example a light-emitting diode, and an infrared sensor 10. The electronic circuit of FIG. 3 illustrates the presence of an encoder-decoder 11 which controls in response to a coded excitation of the infrared sensor 19, the connection of the light emitter 9 to the photovoltaic supply cells.
L'encodeur-décodeur 11 est reliable électriquement par des bornes 12 de connexion, accessibles de l'extérieur du boîtier 7, en étant par exemple placée sur sa face arrière, à un dispositif d'encodage 13 représenté aux figures 1 et 5.The encoder-decoder 11 is electrically connectable by connection terminals 12, accessible from outside the housing 7, being for example placed on its rear face, to an encoding device 13 shown in FIGS. 1 and 5.
Ce dispositf d'encodage des étiquettes comporte,dans un boîtier 14, un circuit électronique qui aboutit à des bornes de connexion prévues à l'intérieur d'un logement 15, ici en forme de fente, de réception de l'étiquette à coder. Ce circuit électronique, qui est connu en lui-même, est associé à un clavier 16 de composition du code, à un écran 17 d'affichage de ce code et à un organe de raccordement 18 pour un instrument informatique tel qu un micro-ordinateur 19 (figure 1). Ce dispositif comporte également un circuit d'excitation d'un émetteur 20 de sigaux infra-rouge codés, pour la vérification de l'encodage des étiquettes avant leur pose sur dossier. This label encoding device comprises, in a housing 14, an electronic circuit which leads to connection terminals provided inside a housing 15, here in the form of a slot, for receiving the label to be coded. This electronic circuit, which is known in itself, is associated with a keyboard 16 for composing the code, with a screen 17 for displaying this code and with a connection member 18 for a computer instrument such as a microcomputer. 19 (Figure 1). This device also includes an excitation circuit of an emitter 20 of coded infrared signals, for checking the encoding of the labels before placing them on the file.
Enfin, l'invention comprend un émetteur portatif 21 de signaux infra-rouges codés, représenté à la figure 4, se présentant sous la forme d'un boîtier 22 de télécommande de récepteur de radio ou de télévision, qui comporte, associé à un circuit électronique, un clavier 23 de composition du code du dossier recherché, un écran 24 d'affichage de ce code, un émetteur infra-rouge non visible sur la figure car situé sur la face frontale avant du boîtier 22 et un ou deux émetteur lumineux 25 destinés à éclairer les étiquettes balayées par le faisceau infrarouge pour, le cas échéant, fournir l'énergie nécessaire aux cellules photovoltaïques si l'étiquette est logée dans un endroit peu éclairé.Le circuit électronique de l'émetteur comporte également une mémoire de stockage de codes préétablis soit à l'aide du clavier, soit & l'aide du micro-ordinateur 19 qui est raccordable à l'émetteur par un organe de connexion 26 pour en charger la mémoire. Le clavier comporte les modes de fonctionnement nécessaires à la recherche des codes mémorisés qui s affichent a l'écran ainsi que des touches S de sélection de ces modes de fonctionnement associées à des voyants 27 d'affichage du fonctionnement choisi. Bien entendu, l'émetteur des signaux de recherche comporte une source d'énergie embarquée sous forme par exemple d'une pile. Finally, the invention comprises a portable transmitter 21 of coded infrared signals, shown in FIG. 4, in the form of a box 22 for the remote control of a radio or television receiver, which comprises, associated with a circuit electronic, a keyboard 23 for composing the code of the file sought, a screen 24 for displaying this code, an infrared transmitter not visible in the figure because it is located on the front end face of the housing 22 and one or two light emitters 25 intended to illuminate the labels scanned by the infrared beam to, if necessary, supply the energy necessary for the photovoltaic cells if the label is housed in a poorly lit place. The electronic circuit of the transmitter also includes a memory for storing preset codes either using the keyboard or using the microcomputer 19 which can be connected to the transmitter by a connection member 26 to load the memory thereof. The keyboard comprises the operating modes necessary for searching for the stored codes which are displayed on the screen as well as keys S for selecting these operating modes associated with indicators 27 for displaying the selected operation. Of course, the transmitter of the search signals comprises an on-board energy source in the form, for example, of a battery.
Un dossier quelconque est avant sa mise en place sur le rayonnage 1, équipé d'une étiquette 6 codée en fonction de son contenu et du système général de codage retenu. Le codage s effectue au moyen du dispositif 13, est vérifié au niveau de ce dispositif avant fixation de l'étiquette sur le dossier. Les moyens de fixation sont adaptés à la nature du dossier (collage, clipage...) de sorte que l'étiquette est toujours visuellement accessible lorsque le dossier est classé. L'étiquette peut comporter un espace réservé à l'inscription "en clair" du contenu du dossier pour permettre un accès "manuel". Le dossier est ensuite posé sur le rayonnage, à une place quelconque, sans souci de respecter un ordre déterminé, évitant ainsi de manipuler de nombreux autres dossiers pour dégager une place. Any file is before it is placed on the shelf 1, equipped with a label 6 coded according to its content and the general coding system used. The coding is carried out by means of the device 13, is checked at the level of this device before fixing the label on the file. The fixing means are adapted to the nature of the file (bonding, clipping ...) so that the label is always visually accessible when the file is classified. The label may include a space reserved for writing "in clear" the contents of the file to allow "manual" access. The file is then placed on the shelving, at any place, without worrying about respecting a specific order, thus avoiding handling numerous other files to free up space.
Sa recherche ultérieure sera réalisée avec le boîtier émetteur de la figure 4. En réponse au signal codé émis, le dossier correspondant émettra un signal lumineux qui permettra sa localisation immédiate sur le rayonnage 1. Au cas où l'étiquette 6 se trouve dans une zone sombre, les cellules photovoltaiques ne sont pas suffisamment éclairées pour fournir l'énergie nécessaire à l'alimentation de la diode électroluminescente. Dans ce cas on pourra activer la source d'éclairage 25 portée par le boîtier de recherche 21 afin de pallier cette insuffisance d'énergie. La diode lumineuse peut être remplacée par un émetteur sonore. Its subsequent search will be carried out with the transmitter box of FIG. 4. In response to the coded signal transmitted, the corresponding file will emit a light signal which will allow its immediate location on the rack 1. In case the label 6 is in an area dark, the photovoltaic cells are not sufficiently lit to provide the energy necessary to supply the light-emitting diode. In this case, it will be possible to activate the light source 25 carried by the research unit 21 in order to compensate for this insufficient energy. The light diode can be replaced by a sound emitter.
On comprend que le principal avantage de l'invention réside dans la liberté qu'elle procure dans le placement des dossiers à classer, dans la nature de ceux-ci qui peut être très différente d'un dossier à l'autre et dans la nature du support. We understand that the main advantage of the invention lies in the freedom it provides in the placement of files to be classified, in the nature of these which can be very different from one file to another and in the nature support.
Dans l'exemple décrit ci-dessus, le signal est infra-rouge.In the example described above, the signal is infrared.
L'invention n'est cependant pas limitée & ce mode de réalisation mais couvre au contraire tout signal rayonnant qui conviendra (radio, micro-ondes,...). The invention is however not limited to this embodiment but on the contrary covers any radiating signal which is suitable (radio, microwave, etc.).
