Abstract
Description
La présente invention a plus particulièrement trait à la distribution automatique et autonome de bouteilles de gaz.The present invention relates more particularly to the automatic and autonomous distribution of gas cylinders.
Les bouteilles de gaz posent un problème de distribution.Gas cylinders pose a distribution problem.
En effet les acheteurs ont des besoins qui sont commandés par la consommation de gaz et par l'état de remplissage des bouteilles qu ils détiennent, si bien que l'on peut estimer que les besoins en bouteilles sont permanents 24h/24h et ; jours/ 7 jours.In fact, buyers have needs which are controlled by the consumption of gas and by the state of filling of the bottles they hold, so that it can be estimated that the needs for bottles are permanent 24 hours a day and; days / 7 days.
Actuellement les bouteilles sont distribuées par des points de vente seulement pendant les heures d'ouverture de ces points de vente.Currently the bottles are distributed by points of sale only during the opening hours of these points of sale.
Ceci ne répond donc pas à la demande.This therefore does not meet demand.
L'automatisation reste délicate car il existe différents types de bouteilles en fonction des sortes de gaz et des marques commerciales bien que les formes extérieures de toutes les bouteilles soient identiques.Automation remains tricky because there are different types of bottles depending on the types of gas and brand names, although the exterior shapes of all the bottles are identical.
D'autre part il se pose aussi le problème de la bouteille consignée.On the other hand, there is also the problem of the returnable bottle.
Il existe aussi le cas du consommateur qui ne dispose pas de bouteille consignée en retour mais qui souhaite néanmoins se procurer une bouteille pleine.There is also the case of the consumer who does not have a returnable bottle but who nevertheless wishes to obtain a full bottle.
Il faut également prévoir le paiement de ces transactions et l'établissement du contrat de louage.It is also necessary to provide for the payment of these transactions and the establishment of the rental contract.
L'approvisionnement de ces bouteilles doit également être étudié pour qu'il soit simplifié et automatisé.The supply of these bottles must also be studied so that it is simplified and automated.
L'art antérieur prévoit des distributeurs et notamment la demande de brevet français NO 2 657 707 qui décrit un distributeur de récipients consignés qui verrouille la porte d'un casier lorsque celui reçoit un racipient en retour. The prior art provides for distributors and in particular French patent application NO 2 657 707 which describes a distributor of returnable containers which locks the door of a rack when the latter receives a return container.
La demande de brevet français NO 2 641 887 propose un dispositif distributeur automatique comprenant une roue à logement montée à rotation dans un carter muni d'une ouverture d'accès, l'axe de rotation de cette roue, formant barillet, étant horizontal.French patent application NO 2 641 887 proposes an automatic dispensing device comprising a housing wheel rotatably mounted in a casing provided with an access opening, the axis of rotation of this wheel, forming a barrel, being horizontal.
Le consommateur est obligé de mettre une bouteille consignée et de payer pour obtenir l'accès à une bouteille pleine par rotation du barillet.The consumer is obliged to put a returnable bottle and pay to obtain access to a full bottle by rotating the barrel.
Un tel dispositif est intéressant, mais sa réalisation reste complexe et d'un prix de revient et d'entretien très élevé.Such a device is interesting, but its production remains complex and has a very high cost and maintenance cost.
Par ailleurs le rechargement doit s'effectuer manuellement, bouteille par bouteille, par rotation provoquée du barillet.Furthermore, recharging must be done manually, bottle by bottle, by induced rotation of the barrel.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif et un procédé qui permettent de répondre aux besoins énumérés ci-avant, en garantissant la sécurité des consommateurs.The object of the present invention is to provide a device and a method which make it possible to meet the needs listed above, while guaranteeing the safety of consumers.
A cet effet, selon l'invention, le dispositif de distribution automatique et autonome de bouteilles de gaz munies d'un chapeau vissant, avec retour de consigne, comprenant au moins une cage de stockage des bouteilles avec des casiers individuels équipés chacun d'une porte et de moyens de verrouillage de cette porte, un automate de commande de moyens de pilotage du verrouillage/déverrouillage des portes et des moyens de paiement par carte avec affichage des informations, se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend des moyens de détection de la présence et du type de bouteille consignée, reliés à l'automate de commande des moyens de paiement et des moyens de verrouillage/déverrouillage de façon à verrouiller la porte et à rendre la carte lorsque le type de bouteille de consigne est identique à celui de la bouteille retirée. To this end, according to the invention, the device for the automatic and autonomous distribution of gas cylinders provided with a screw cap, with deposit return, comprising at least one bottle storage cage with individual lockers each equipped with a door and means for locking this door, an automaton for controlling means for controlling the locking / unlocking of the doors and means of payment by card with display of information, is characterized in that it comprises means for detecting the presence and type of returnable bottle, connected to the automatic control system for payment means and locking / unlocking means so as to lock the door and return the card when the type of deposit bottle is identical to that of the bottle removed.
Selon une autre caractéristique du dispositif de distribution automatique, les moyens de détection de la présence et du type de bouteille comprennent, pour chaque casier, un capteur à bille prévu pour coopérer avec un trou ménagé dans le chapeau de chaque bouteille, ce trou étant disposé à une hauteur donnée pour un type de bouteille donnée.According to another characteristic of the automatic dispensing device, the means for detecting the presence and the type of bottle comprises, for each locker, a ball sensor intended to cooperate with a hole made in the cap of each bottle, this hole being arranged at a given height for a given type of bottle.
De plus, les moyens de détection de la présence et du type de bouteille comprennent, pour chaque casier, un capteur à galet prévu pour coopérer avec le chapeau de chaque bouteille.In addition, the means for detecting the presence and type of bottle comprises, for each locker, a roller sensor intended to cooperate with the cap of each bottle.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, le verrouillage comprend une gâche électrique.According to a particular embodiment, the locking comprises an electric strike.
Selon un perfectionnement de l'invention, l'automate comprend en outre des moyens d'impression.According to an improvement of the invention, the automatic device further comprises printing means.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la cage est amovible et comprend des connecteurs prévus pour coopérer avec des bornes fixées au sol et reliées à l'automate de commande de façon à provoquer une initialisation lorsqu'une nouvelle cage est mise en place.According to another characteristic of the invention, the cage is removable and includes connectors designed to cooperate with terminals fixed to the ground and connected to the control machine so as to cause initialization when a new cage is put in place.
Le procédé de mise en oeuvre du dispositif de distribution automatique de bouteilles de gaz comprend les étapes suivantes - introduction de la carte de paiement dans les moyens de paiement reliés à l'automate et composition du code rattaché, - sélection du type de bouteille par le consommateur, - indication à l'écran des coordonnées du casier plein sélectionné par l'automate et déverrouillage de la porte de ce casier, - retrait de la bouteille pleine par le consommateur et dépose de la bouteille vide consignée dans le casier, - fermeture de la porte du casier par le consommateur, - contrôle par les moyens de détection de la présence et de la conformité du type de bouteille déposée, et - verrouillage de la porte et validation de l'opéra- tion de paiement avec restitution de la carte lorsque la bouteille déposée est conforme, ou - absence de verrouillage si la bouteille déposée est non conforme avec réalisation par le consommateur des opérations inverses pour une restitution de la carte, ou - verrouillage de la porte et validation de l'opéra- tion de paiement de la bouteille et de la consigne en l'absence de bouteille déposée avec restitution de la carte.The method of implementing the device for automatic distribution of gas cylinders comprises the following steps - introduction of the payment card into the means of payment connected to the machine and composition of the attached code, - selection of the type of cylinder by the consumer, - indication on the screen of the coordinates of the full locker selected by the machine and unlocking of the door of this locker, - removal of the full bottle by the consumer and removal of the empty bottle stored in the locker, - closing of the door of the locker by the consumer, - control by the means of detection of the presence and conformity of the type of bottle deposited, and - locking of the door and validation of the payment transaction with return of the card when the deposited bottle is compliant, or - absence of locking if the deposited bottle is non-compliant with the consumer carrying out the reverse operations for r a return of the card, or - locking the door and validation of the bottle payment transaction and the deposit in the absence of a bottle deposited with return of the card.
Selon un perfectionnement, l'automate demande au consommateur une nouvelle saisie du code carte avant restitution.According to an improvement, the machine asks the consumer to re-enter the card code before restitution.
De plus, l'automate émet une facture en cas de transaction avec mention des coordonnées du casier.In addition, the machine issues an invoice in the event of a transaction, with details of the locker details.
De la même façon, l'automate peut émettre un contrat de louage qui est généralement nécessaire lorsqu'il y a une consigne ayant une valeur supérieure à celle de la caution.In the same way, the machine can issue a rental contract which is generally necessary when there is a deposit having a value greater than that of the deposit.
L'automate comprend aussi des moyens d'alarme dont le déclenchement est provoqué par toute dégradation portée au dispositif.The automaton also includes alarm means, the triggering of which is caused by any degradation carried to the device.
La présente invention est décrite ci-après selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel en accord avec les dessins annexés sur lesquels les figures représentent - figure 1, une vue d'ensemble d'un lieu de distribution selon l'invention, - figure 2, une vue en élévation latérale d'une cage selon l'invention, à deux étages, - figure 3, une vue de dessus des cages de la figure 2, - figures 4A et 4B, deux vues d'un capteur de présence applicable à deux bouteilles remplies de gaz différents, et - figure 5, un organigramme du fonctionnement du dispositif selon le procédé de l'invention.The present invention is described below according to a preferred embodiment in accordance with the accompanying drawings in which the figures represent - Figure 1, an overview of a distribution location according to the invention, - Figure 2, a side elevation view of a cage according to the invention, on two floors, - Figure 3, a top view of the cages of Figure 2, - Figures 4A and 4B, two views of a presence sensor applicable to two bottles filled with different gases, and - Figure 5, a flow diagram of the operation of the device according to the method of the invention.
Sur la figure 1, on a représenté un ensemble de distribution 10, avec une allée de circulation 12, des cages 14 de stockage, un automate 16, un véhicule 18 d'un consommateur 20 et un camion 22 de ravitaillement.In Figure 1, there is shown a distribution assembly 10, with a circulation aisle 12, storage cages 14, an automaton 16, a vehicle 18 of a consumer 20 and a truck 22 of supplies.
Les cages 14 de stockage comprennent des casiers 24 juxtaposés par modules en fonction du type de gaz contenu dans les bouteilles et les marques commerciales correspondantes.The storage cages 14 comprise compartments 24 juxtaposed by modules according to the type of gas contained in the bottles and the corresponding commercial brands.
Un module de deux cages superposées, à 28 casiers est décrit en détail en regard des figures 2 et 3.A module of two superimposed cages with 28 compartments is described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
Ces cages comprennent un bâti 26 reçu dans un châssis 28 fixé au sol.These cages include a frame 26 received in a frame 28 fixed to the ground.
Des guidages 30 assurent un bon alignement des angles des deux cages superposées.Guides 30 ensure good alignment of the angles of the two superimposed cages.
Le châssis est par ailleurs relié à l'automate 16, par un câblage 32 permanent.The chassis is also connected to the controller 16, by permanent wiring 32.
Une borne fixe 34 solidaire du châssis assure la connexion avec les cages.A fixed terminal 34 secured to the chassis provides the connection with the cages.
Chaque casier comprend une porte 36, des moyens 38 de verrouillage/déverrouillage de cette porte, et des moyens de détection de la présence et du type de bouteille consignée.Each locker includes a door 36, means 38 for locking / unlocking this door, and means for detecting the presence and type of returnable bottle.
Les moyens de verrouillage/déverrouillage comprennent une gâche électrique telle que celles vendues dans le commerce. The locking / unlocking means include an electric strike such as those sold commercially.
Les moyens de détection de présence et du type de bouteille sont représentés sur les figures 4A et 4B.The means for detecting the presence and the type of bottle are shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B.
Ils comprennent un capteur à bille 40 associé à un capteur à galet 42, monté en série avec le capteur à bille.They include a ball sensor 40 associated with a roller sensor 42, mounted in series with the ball sensor.
Le capteur à bille est en position fermée lorsque la bille est sortie et le capteur à galet est en position fermée lorsque le galet est rentré.The ball sensor is in the closed position when the ball is extended and the roller sensor is in the closed position when the roller is retracted.
La bille 44 du capteur est prévue pour coopérer avec un trou 46 ménagé dans le chapeau 48 d'une bouteille de gaz 50.The sensor ball 44 is designed to cooperate with a hole 46 formed in the cap 48 of a gas cylinder 50.
La différence entre les deux figures est l'emplace- ment du trou 40 qui se trouve à deux hauteurs différentes.The difference between the two figures is the location of the hole 40 which is at two different heights.
Le fonctionnement du dispositif est décrit ci-après en regard notamment de l'organigramme représenté sur la figure 5.The operation of the device is described below with particular reference to the flow diagram shown in FIG. 5.
L'automate a d'abord une phase d'initialisation en 52, et l'automate demande à l'utilisateur d'introduire sa carte.The machine first has an initialization phase at 52, and the machine asks the user to introduce his card.
En 54 1' automate reconnaît la carte et demande à l'utilisateur de la valider par son code confidentiel.
In 54 the automat recognizes the card and asks the user to validate it by its confidential code.
Le code est erroné et la carte est refusée et restituée en 56.The code is wrong and the card is refused and returned in 56.
S'il s'agit d'une carte volée avec le code associé, la carte est conservée ceci de façon connue en 58.If it is a stolen card with the associated code, the card is kept in a manner known in 58.
Une fois le code validé en 60, l'automate demande à l'utilisateur de sélectionner sa marque ce qui conduit à deux options
bouteille non disponible et restitution de la carte en 62 - bouteille disponible en 64 et l'automate annonce un numéro de casier à l'utilisateur qui est déver rouillée en 66 de façon que la bouteille soit extraite de ce casier en 68.Once the code validated in 60, the automaton asks the user to select his brand which leads to two options
bottle not available and return of the card in 62 - bottle available in 64 and the machine announces a locker number to the user which is unlocked in 66 so that the bottle is extracted from this locker in 68.
L'automate requiert alors la bouteille consignée en retour en 70, et il peut soit omettre la consigne volontairement en 72, soit substituer une consigne en 74.The machine then requires the bottle returned in 70, and it can either omit the deposit voluntarily in 72, or substitute a deposit in 74.
Si l'utilisateur substitue une consigne non adéquate en 74, l'automate fait un retour à la transition et ceci en cycle fermé, tant que l'utilisateur soit remplace la consigne non adéquate par une consigne adéquate, soit retire la consigne non adéquate, omet la consigne et ferme le casier.If the user substitutes an inadequate instruction at 74, the automaton returns to the transition and this in closed cycle, as long as the user either replaces the non-adequate instruction with an adequate instruction, or removes the non-adequate instruction, omits the deposit and closes the locker.
Il lui faut alors fermer le casier en 76.He must then close the locker at 76.
Ensuite, le gaz seul est facturé en 78 à l'utilisateur lorsqu'il a substitué une consigne adéquate.Then, only the gas is billed in 78 to the user when he has substituted an adequate deposit.
Et le gaz plus la consigne sont facturés en 80, si la consigne a été omise, avec création simultanée d'un contrat de louage.And gas plus the deposit are billed in 80, if the deposit has been omitted, with the simultaneous creation of a rental contract.
Une dernière validation en 82 permet une restitution de la carte et l'émission de la facture et du contrat éventuel.A final validation in 82 allows a return of the card and the issuance of the invoice and any contract.
En 84, l'automate requiert à nouveau la frappe du code afin d'éviter la fraude et de conserver la carte en cas de code erroné.In 84, the automaton again requires that the code be typed in order to avoid fraud and to keep the card in the event of an incorrect code.
Les moyens de détection de la présence et du type de bouteille comprennent chacun un capteur à bille et un capteur à galet.The means for detecting the presence and type of bottle each comprise a ball sensor and a roller sensor.
Ces deux capteurs sont montés en série si bien que lorsque le capteur à bille a sa bille sortie en position fermée et qu'il n'y a pas de bouteille ou une bouteille sans capuchon, le galet est également sorti mais ce qui correspond à sa position ouverte.These two sensors are mounted in series so that when the ball sensor has its ball extended in the closed position and there is no bottle or a bottle without a cap, the roller is also extended but which corresponds to its open position.
la bouteille remise n'est donc pas adéquate.the bottle delivered is therefore not adequate.
Dans le cas où une bouteille du mauvais modèle est introduite dans un casier, le galet en série est rentré ce qui indique la présence d'une bouteille avec son capuchon, donc complète, mais la bille se trouve alors en position rentrée puisqu'elle ne peut pénétrer dans aucun trou du capuchon, information que peut donc prendre en compte l'automate.In the case where a bottle of the wrong model is introduced into a rack, the roller in series is retracted which indicates the presence of a bottle with its cap, therefore complete, but the ball is then in the retracted position since it does not can not penetrate any hole in the cap, information that the PLC can therefore take into account.
Cette combinaison des deux capteurs en série permet de traiter tous les cas de figure. This combination of the two sensors in series makes it possible to deal with all cases.
