Description

Procédé de signalisation sur le reseau urbain ou routier par panneau amovible La présente invention concerne les dispositifs d'affichage pour fournir des informations au bord des routes ou en villeThe present invention relates to display devices for providing information at the edge of roads or in town
On connaît déjà des dispositifs d'affichage, notamment comportant des afficheurs électromagnétiques électroluminescents ou magnéto-optiques qui, par exemple par mise sous tension des pixels d'une matrice, émettent de la lumière fluorescente, l'ensemble des pixels étant commandé pour fournir un message donné Ce type de dispositif d'affichage est, tel qu'on le connaît aujourd'hui, destiné à une utilisation en fixe En effet, il est nécessaire qu'il se trouve à proximité d'une source de courant pour pouvoir mettre sous tension les pixels et ainsi commander l'affichage des informations souhaitées Par ailleurs, leurs dimensions et leurs poids ne permettent pas de les déplacer aisément Enfin, ils sont situés sur des lieux de passage permanents (périphériques, autoroutes ) II existe aujourd'hui un besoin pour un dispositif d'affichage qui soit amovible pour pouvoir être placé, en fonction des événements qui ont eu sur le réseau routier, en des points choisis par les services de la voirie Une solution à ce problème consisterait à utiliser les dispositifs d'affichage ou panneaux d'affichage connus aujourd'hui et à leur adjoindre une batterie pour leur permettre de disposer d'un courant d'alimentation de manière autonome afin de pouvoir attaquer les pixels Cependant, cette solution n'est pas possible pour des raisons de sécurité En effet, les services de voirie ne veulent pas laisser au bord de la route des panneaux d'affichage de ce genre qui comporteraient une batterie autonome et donc pourraient être source de dangers, notamment d'électrocution pour des passants ou des utilisateurs, tels que les employés de la voirie.Display devices are already known, in particular comprising electroluminescent or magneto-optical electromagnetic displays which, for example by energizing the pixels of a matrix, emit fluorescent light, all the pixels being controlled to provide a given message This type of display device is, as we know it today, intended for use in fixed mode Indeed, it is necessary that it is near a power source to be able to put under tension the pixels and thus control the display of the desired information Furthermore, their dimensions and their weight do not allow them to be easily moved Finally, they are located on permanent places of passage (peripherals, motorways) There is today a need for a display device which is removable so that it can be placed, according to events which have had on the road network, at points chosen by the s road services One solution to this problem would be to use the display devices or display panels known today and to add a battery to them so that they can have a supply current autonomously in order to be able to attack the pixels However, this solution is not possible for security reasons Indeed, the road services do not want to leave at the edge of the road billboards of this kind which would include a self-contained battery and could therefore be a source of danger, in particular electric shock for passers-by or users, such as road workers.
L'invention pallie ces inconvénients par un dispositif d'affichage qui peut être disposé à n'importe quel endroit sur le réseau urbain, sans que ce dispositif d'affichage présente le moindre danger.The invention overcomes these drawbacks by a display device which can be placed anywhere on the urban network, without this display device presenting the slightest danger.
La présente invention vise un procédé de signalisation sur le réseau urbain ou routier, caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à apporter à un endroit un dispositif d'affichage comportant des moyens formant afficheurs capables d'être mis par une source de courant et/ou un moyen de commande d'affichage dans au moins deux états, à savoir un premier état dans lequel ils affichent un signal visible, notamment fluorescent, et un second état dans lequel ils n'émettent pas de signal visible, le passage d'un état à l'autre s'effectuant par application d'une tension aux bornes des moyens formant afficheurs pendant un intervalle de temps, à connecter une source de courant et/ou un moyen de commande d'affichage au dispositif pendant l'intervalle de temps, puis à les déconnecter et à remporter la source de courant et/ou le moyen de commande d'affichage en laissant les moyens formant afficheurs audit endroit en le second état. L'invention utilise des afficheurs particuliers, qui n'ont pas besoin d'être mis sous tension pendant tout le temps où ils affichent un signal visible. Par conséquent, lorsqu'on utilise ces dispositifs d'affichage dans le réseau routier, l'employé des services de voirie met simplement sous tension le dispositif d'affichage, notamment les moyens formant afficheurs, de manière à afficher un message donné, puis retire le dispositif d'alimentation électrique et/ou le moyen de commande d'affichage et l'emporte avec lui. Par conséquent, les passants ne risquent pas d'être électrocutés par ce dispositif de mise sous tension, par exemple une batterie. Bien qu'il n'ait plus de système d'alimentation électrique, le dispositif d'affichage continue à afficher le message puisque les afficheurs resteront toujours dans l'état dans lequel ils affichent un signal visible, et ce, tant qu'ils n'auront pas été effacés par le fait jThe present invention relates to a method of signaling on the urban or road network, characterized in that it consists in providing a location with a display device comprising means forming displays capable of being switched on by a current source and / or a display control means in at least two states, namely a first state in which they display a visible signal, in particular fluorescent, and a second state in which they do not emit a visible signal, the transition from a state the other being effected by applying a voltage across the terminals of the display means during a time interval, connecting a current source and / or a display control means to the device during the time interval, then disconnecting them and winning the current source and / or the display control means, leaving the means forming displays at said location in the second state.

d'appliquer une nouvelle tension, dite tension de rafraîchissement, qui les éteindra tous.apply a new voltage, called the refresh voltage, which will turn them all off.
Suivant un perfectionnement de l'invention, les moyens formant afficheurs sont des afficheurs électroluminescents, magnéto-optiques ou électro- magnétiques, notamment ceux utilisant la technique dite "Ferranti-Packard".According to an improvement of the invention, the means forming displays are electroluminescent, magneto-optical or electromagnetic displays, in particular those using the technique known as "Ferranti-Packard".
Suivant un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux, les moyens formant afficheurs sont constitués d'une matrice de pastilles ou pixels.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, the means forming displays consist of a matrix of pads or pixels.
Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré, la matrice est une matrice de cinq colonnes et sept lignes.According to a preferred embodiment, the matrix is a matrix of five columns and seven rows.
Suivant un perfectionnement de l'invention, le dispositif d'affichage portatif comporte un caisson en un matériau à faible densité massique, notamment en matériaux composites, par exemple fibre de verre et résine polyester, en polycarbonate, en mousse, en Keviar (marque de fabrique) etc ..According to an improvement of the invention, the portable display device comprises a box made of a material with low mass density, in particular made of composite materials, for example fiberglass and polyester resin, polycarbonate, foam, Keviar (brand of factory) etc.
Cela permet d'obtenir un dispositif d'affichage particulièrement léger et facile à transporter.This provides a particularly light and easy to transport display device.
Suivant un perfectionnement de l'invention, le dispositif d'affichage comporte des moyens d'accrochage destinés à permettre l'accrochage du dispositif d'affichage à des panneaux de circulation, des belvédères ou des feux d'arrêt.According to an improvement of the invention, the display device comprises attachment means intended to allow the attachment of the display device to traffic signs, lookouts or stop lights.
Suivant un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, il est prévu des moyens destinés à protéger les afficheurs contre les chocs et les vibrations, notamment un cadre en mousse ou en caoutchouc. Suivant un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, le caisson est de forme aplatie, c'est-à-dire qu'il a une hauteur très petite dans le sens perpendiculaire à la matrice d'affichage.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, means are provided for protecting the displays against shock and vibration, in particular a foam or rubber frame. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the box is of flattened shape, that is to say it has a very small height in the direction perpendicular to the display matrix.
Cela permet de s'assurer que lors du transport le caisson est maintenu à la verticale et donc que les afficheurs ne se retrouvent pas placés horizontalement face avant vers le sol. Cela évite le risque également que les pastilles se désolidarisent des afficheurs. La présente invention vise également un kit d'utilisation comportant, d'une part, un dispositif tel que décrit précédemment et, d'autre part, amovible de ce dispositif, des moyens de commande d'affichage destinés à commander les états des afficheurs de manière à fournir une information donnée et qui est relié à une source de courant d'alimentation.This makes it possible to ensure that during transport the box is kept vertical and therefore that the displays are not found placed horizontally front face towards the ground. This also avoids the risk that the pads will separate from the displays. The present invention also relates to a use kit comprising, on the one hand, a device as described above and, on the other hand, removable from this device, display control means intended to control the states of the display units of so as to provide a given item of information which is connected to a supply current source.
Au dessin, donné uniquement à titre d'exemple, il est représenté un mode de réalisation de l'invention.In the drawing, given solely by way of example, an embodiment of the invention is shown.
La figure 1 est une vue en perspective arrière d'un panneau d'affichage utilisé suivant l'invention, la figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale du panneau de la figureFigure 1 is a rear perspective view of a display panel used according to the invention, Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the panel of Figure
1 , et la figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'un panneau d'affichage suivant l'invention tel que mis en place sur un poteau quelconque sur le réseau routier. A la figure 1 , il est représenté un panneau d'affichage urbain ou routier constitué d'un caisson 1 sur une face 2 avant duquel est monté un écran 3 plat. L'écran 3 comporte une matrice de pastilles formant afficheurs. Ces pastilles peuvent être des afficheurs électroluminescents, magnéto-optiques ou électromagnétiques. Dans le cas présent, il s'agit d'afficheurs électromagnétiques de type dit 'Ferranti-Packard". Ces pastilles ou afficheurs peuvent être dans deux états. Le premier état est un état dans lequel ils émettent un signal visible, c'est-à-dire que leur face visible est fluorescente. Le second état est un état dans lequel ils sont éteints. Leur face fluorescente est invisible. Pour passer d'un état à l'autre, il suffit de leur appliquer dans un cas pour passer à l'état n°1 une tension déterminée à l'avance donnée +V0, par exemple ici égal à 10 volts et pour les éteindre leur appliquer une tension opposée, dite tension de rafraîchissement, égale à - 10 volts. Il n'est pas nécessaire de maintenir les pastilles sous tension pour qu'elle reste dans un état ou l'autre. Une fois passée dans un état, et tant qu'on ne leur applique pas de nouveau une tension soit de +V0, soit de -V0 dans un cas ou l'autre, elle reste dans l'état dans laquelle elle se trouve. Ainsi, par exemple, on voit à la figure 3 qu'un certain nombre de pastilles ont été mises dans l'état n°1 pour pouvoir afficher "Pont de la Concorde fermé → 10.09" par exemple, les pixels se trouvant à l'intérieur du "o" de "Pont" sont dans l'état n°2, tandis que les pixels formant la circonférence du "o" de "Pont" sont dans l'état n°1 , c'est-à- dire l'état allumé. Il est monté dans le caisson (non représenté à la figure) un circuit électrique permettant de mettre sous tension chacune des pastilles. Ce circuit est relié à une prise extérieure à laquelle peut être branché un dispositif (non représenté à la figure) comportant, d'une part, un système de mise sous tension, et, d'autre part, un système, par exemple sous la forme d'un logiciel classique, commandant la mise sous tension ou non de chacun des pixels en fonction du message que l'on souhaite afficher.1, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a display panel according to the invention as placed on any post on the road network. In Figure 1, there is shown an urban or road display panel consisting of a box 1 on a face 2 before which is mounted a flat screen 3. Screen 3 includes a matrix of pads forming displays. These pads can be electroluminescent, magneto-optical or electromagnetic displays. In the present case, these are electromagnetic displays of the so-called "Ferranti-Packard" type. These pads or displays can be in two states. The first state is a state in which they emit a visible signal, ie that is, their visible side is fluorescent. The second state is a state in which they are off. Their fluorescent side is invisible. To go from one state to another, just apply them in one case to go to state n ° 1 a voltage determined in advance given + V 0 , for example here equal to 10 volts and to switch them off apply an opposite voltage, called refresh voltage, equal to - 10 volts. it is not necessary to keep the pellets under tension so that it remains in one state or the other. Once passed in a state, and as long as one does not apply them again a tension either of + V 0 , or of - V 0 in one case or the other, it remains in the state in which it is. i, for example, we see at figure 3 that a certain number of pads were put in state n ° 1 to be able to display "Bridge of Concorde closed → 10.09" for example, the pixels being inside the "o" of "Bridge "are in state # 2, while the pixels forming the circumference of the" o "of" Bridge "are in state # 1, that is, the on state. There is mounted in the box (not shown in the figure) an electrical circuit making it possible to energize each of the pads. This circuit is connected to an external socket to which a device (not shown in the figure) can be connected, comprising, on the one hand, a tensioning system, and, on the other hand, a system, for example under the in the form of conventional software, controlling whether or not each of the pixels is powered up according to the message that one wishes to display.
Le caisson 1 est en un matériau dit léger, c'est-à-dire ayant une densité massique faible, par exemple il peut être en polycarbonate ou en matériaux composites, c'est-à-dire en fibre de verre + résine polyester. En outre, l'écran peut comporter un cadre 6 en un matériau tel que du caoutchouc ou de la mousse pour le protéger de chocs et ainsi protéger les pastilles contre le choc. Enfin des moyens 7 de fixation amovible du panneau peuvent être montés sur le caisson 1. Ceux-ci peuvent être constitués de rails de fixation, le panneau coulissant dans un poteau de forme correspondante du rail de fixation ou être formé également d'une bride de fixation pour le montage sur un poteau, comme représenté à la figure 3.The box 1 is made of a so-called light material, that is to say having a low mass density, for example it can be made of polycarbonate or composite materials, that is to say fiberglass + polyester resin. In addition, the screen may include a frame 6 made of a material such as rubber or foam to protect it from impact and thus protect the pellets against impact. Finally, means 7 for removable fixing of the panel can be mounted on the box 1. These can consist of fixing rails, the panel sliding in a post of corresponding shape on the fixing rail or also being formed of a flange of fixing for mounting on a pole, as shown in figure 3.
L'employé du service de la voirie prend le panneau 1 par les poignées 8 et le place où il le souhaite sur le réseau urbain ou le réseau routier. Une fois le panneau en position, il commande l'allumage ou non des différentes pastilles à l'aide d'un dispositif de mise sous tension sélective des pixels et d'un dispositif, par exemple un clavier, lui permettant d'indiquer, par des moyens bien connus, le texte qu'il souhaite afficher au processeur. Le processeur commande alors, par des moyens bien connus, l'affichage souhaité. Une fois l'affichage souhaité affiché, l'utilisateur déconnecte le dispositif de commande d'affichage et s'en va en emportant la source de courant et le dispositif de commande d'affichage de ce genre. Tant que l'utilisateur ne revient pas pour appliquer aux pixels allumés une tension de rafraîchissement, ces pixels ou pastilles restent allumés et affichent des informations pour les utilisateurs du réseau routier ou du réseau urbain. On obtient ainsi un système d'information extrêmement pratique, maniable et pouvant servir à tout type de situation. The road service employee takes the panel 1 by the handles 8 and places it where he wishes on the urban or road network. Once the panel in position, it controls the lighting or not of the various pads using a device for selectively energizing the pixels and a device, for example a keyboard, enabling it to indicate, by well known means, the text it wishes to display to the processor. The processor then controls, by well known means, the desired display. Once the desired display is displayed, the user disconnects the display control device and goes away carrying the power source and the display control device of this kind. As long as the user does not return to apply a refresh voltage to the lit pixels, these pixels or pads remain lit and display information for users of the road or urban network. This gives an extremely practical, handy information system that can be used in any type of situation.
