Titre de l'invention : Véhicule pour transport de conteneur Title of the invention: Container transport vehicle
[0001 ] L’invention concerne un véhicule pour transport de conteneur comprenant un châssis reposant sur des moyens de roulement en partie orientables et intégrant des moyens moteurs électriques ou autres agissant sur tout ou partie desdits moyens de roulement par l’intermédiaire de moyens d’entraînement appropriés, ledit véhicule comportant encore des moyens de pilotage comprenant au moins des moyens de gestion de fonctionnement des moyens moteurs, des moyens d’actionnement des moyens d’entraînement associés et des moyens de commande de direction des moyens de roulement orientables. The invention relates to a vehicle for container transport comprising a chassis resting on partially orientable rolling means and integrating electric or other motor means acting on all or part of said rolling means by means of suitable drive, said vehicle further comprising piloting means comprising at least means for managing the operation of the motor means, means for actuating the associated drive means and means for controlling the direction of the orientable rolling means.
[0002] La présente invention concerne le domaine des véhicules de transport de conteneurs, en particulier des véhicules à usage en zones de transbordement de conteneurs, telles que les zones portuaires, aéroportuaires ou encore en gares de marchandises. The present invention relates to the field of container transport vehicles, in particular vehicles for use in container transhipment areas, such as port, airport areas or in freight stations.
[0003] Il est d’ores et déjà connu de nombreux véhicules de transport de conteneur qui se distinguent en ce qu’ils comportent un châssis présentant une surface ou plateau de chargement plus particulièrement destiné pour recevoir et maintenir un ou plusieurs conteneurs dans le but de véhiculer celui-ci depuis une zone de stockage et une zone de transbordement et inversement. It is already known from many container transport vehicles which are distinguished in that they comprise a chassis having a surface or loading platform more particularly intended for receiving and maintaining one or more containers for the purpose to transport it from a storage area and a transhipment area and vice versa.
[0004] Ce châssis est monté sur des moyens de roulement adaptés qui peuvent éventuellement être orientables, du moins une partie d’entre eux. This chassis is mounted on suitable rolling means which can optionally be orientable, at least part of them.
[0005] Ainsi, ce véhicule pour transport peut se présenter sous forme d’une Thus, this transport vehicle can be in the form of a
remorque reposant, en partie arrière, sur des moyens de roulement orientables ou non, alors que dans sa partie avant, cette remorque peut être attelée à un véhicule tracteur équipé d’une unité de pilotage sous forme d’une cabine susceptible d’accueillir un opérateur-chauffeur. Dans une telle configuration, le véhicule tracteur est lui-même pourvu de moyens de roulement en partie orientables pour diriger la remorque qui lui est attelée. trailer resting, in the rear part, on orientable or non-orientable rolling means, while in its front part, this trailer can be coupled to a tractor vehicle equipped with a control unit in the form of a cabin capable of accommodating a operator-driver. In such a configuration, the towing vehicle is itself provided with partially orientable rolling means for steering the trailer which is coupled to it.
[0006] En présence d’un véhicule tracteur, c’est ce dernier qui est équipé des In the presence of a towing vehicle, it is the latter which is equipped with
moyens moteurs agissant par l’intermédiaire de moyens d’entraînement sur tout
ou partie des moyens de roulement de ce véhicule tracteur. Bien entendu, celui- ci reçoit également, dans ce cas, l’ensemble des moyens de pilotage comprenant essentiellement, des moyens de gestion de fonctionnement des moyens moteurs, des moyens d’actionnement des moyens d’entraînement associés et des moyens de commande de direction des moyens de roulement orientables, sans compter tous les autres moyens nécessaires au pilotage du véhicule, tels que les moyens de freinage, etc... drive means acting through drive means on all or part of the rolling means of this towing vehicle. Of course, the latter also receives, in this case, all of the control means essentially comprising, means for managing the operation of the motor means, means for actuating the associated drive means and control means for direction of the orientable rolling means, without counting all the other means necessary for driving the vehicle, such as the braking means, etc.
[0007] En raison de cette association aux véhicules tracteurs de l’ensemble des Due to this association with the towing vehicles of all
moyens nécessaires au déplacement du véhicule pour transport de conteneurs, la cabine de pilotage dans laquelle doit venir s’installer l’opérateur-chauffeur se situe à une certaine hauteur au-dessus du sol, ladite cabine surmontant très généralement les moyens moteurs et autres équipements nécessaires à la progression du véhicule pour transport. means necessary for moving the vehicle for transporting containers, the cockpit in which the operator-driver is to be installed is situated at a certain height above the ground, said cabin very generally overcoming the engine means and other equipment necessary for the progression of the vehicle for transport.
[0008] Or les multiples opérations de chargement/déchargement de conteneurs qui sont à mener dans un laps de temps le plus court possible, sur ces zones d’exploitation de ces véhicules, l’opérateur est amené à quitter et à regagner autant de fois sa cabine de pilotage. Celle-ci étant implantée en hauteur, l’accès et la descente de cette cabine représente des contraintes physiques importantes pour cet opérateur-chauffeur, sans compter les risques de chutes et de blessures encourus en raison de la fatigue qui peut s’installer au cours d’une longue période de travail, voire d’une inattention résultant de la répétitivité de ces montées et descentes de cabine. However, the multiple container loading / unloading operations which are to be carried out in the shortest possible time, in these areas of operation of these vehicles, the operator has to leave and return as many times his cockpit. This one being installed in height, the access and the descent of this cabin represents important physical constraints for this operator-driver, without counting the risks of falls and injuries incurred due to the fatigue which can settle during of a long period of work, or even of inattention resulting from the repetitiveness of these ascents and descents of the cabin.
[0009] Dans tous les cas, ces véhicules tracteurs rallongent le véhicule pour In all cases, these tractor vehicles extend the vehicle to
transport à l’extrémité de la remorque et augmentent son encombrement. transport at the end of the trailer and increase its size.
[0010] Il est d’ores et déjà connu des véhicules de transport de conteneurs dont le châssis repose à la fois en partie avant et en partie arrière sur des moyens de roulement, ceux au moins en partie avant étant de type orientable. Ce châssis intègre, dans ce cas, les moyens moteurs, les moyens d’entraînement, les moyens de commande de direction, tandis que tout ou partie de l’unité de pilotage se retrouve, là encore, dans une cabine de pilotage surmontant en partie avant ledit châssis.
[0011 ] Si une telle solution permet d’optimiser l’encombrement de ces véhicules de transport, elle ne permet pas de répondre à la problématique de l’accès et, donc, aux difficultés pour le chauffeur de monter ou descendre dans la cabine de pilotage surmontant le châssis de ce véhicule pour transport de conteneurs. It is already known container transport vehicles whose chassis rests both in the front part and in the rear part on rolling means, those at least in the front part being of the steerable type. This chassis incorporates, in this case, the driving means, the driving means, the direction control means, while all or part of the piloting unit is again found in a piloting cabin partially overcoming before said chassis. If such a solution makes it possible to optimize the size of these transport vehicles, it does not make it possible to respond to the problem of access and, therefore, to the difficulties for the driver to get in or out of the cabin. steering over the chassis of this vehicle for container transport.
[0012] On connaît également, par le document FR2949414, un véhicule pour Also known, from document FR2949414, a vehicle for
transport de conteneurs susceptibles d’adopter différentes configurations et dont le châssis comporte, sensiblement en son centre, entre des moyens de roulement au travers desquels ce châssis repose au sol, un logement pour un module de motorisation qui peut être, selon le cas, électrique, thermique ou hybride. Sur la partie avant de ce véhicule peut être montée une cabine de pilotage intégrant tous les moyens de pilotage pour assurer en particulier la gestion du fonctionnement des moyens moteurs, l’actionnement des moyens d’entraînement, la commande de direction des moyens de roulement orientables, etc.... transport of containers capable of adopting different configurations and the chassis of which comprises, substantially at its center, between rolling means through which this chassis rests on the ground, a housing for a motorization module which can be, as the case may be, electric , thermal or hybrid. On the front part of this vehicle can be mounted a control cabin integrating all the control means to ensure in particular the management of the operation of the drive means, the actuation of the drive means, the direction control of the orientable rolling means , etc ....
[0013] Il est par ailleurs de plus en plus courant d’assurer la gestion de déplacement des véhicules de transport de conteneurs sur des zones portuaires ou similaires de manière totalement autonome, sans l’intervention ni même la présence d’un opérateur-chauffeur. It is also more and more common to manage the movement of container transport vehicles in port areas or the like in a completely autonomous manner, without the intervention or even the presence of an operator-driver. .
[0014] Pour ces modes de fonctionnement autonomes, deux solutions sont For these autonomous modes of operation, two solutions are
actuellement adoptées : currently adopted:
- la première consiste à doubler les moyens de pilotage manuels par des moyens de pilotage en autonomie en équipant le véhicule pour transport de tous les moyens de guidage utiles pour un tel mode de fonctionnement autonome sur site. En somme, la cabine susceptible d’accueillir un opérateur-chauffeur est préservée pour permettre le déplacement du véhicule en mode manuel en cas de besoin. - The first consists in doubling the manual piloting means by autonomous piloting means by equipping the vehicle for transport with all the guiding means useful for such an autonomous operating mode on site. In short, the cabin capable of accommodating an operator-driver is preserved to allow the vehicle to be moved in manual mode if necessary.
- Une seconde solution consiste à s’affranchir de la cabine de pilotage et à n’équiper ledit véhicule que de moyens de pilotage en autonomie. Ceci a pour - A second solution consists in getting rid of the cockpit and in equipping said vehicle only with autonomous piloting means. This has for
conséquence de mener sur un site de production de véhicules de transport, la conduite de deux lignes de production, l’une pour la fabrication du véhicule pour transport à cabine pour chauffeur intégrant les moyens de pilotage manuel, voire, en combinaison, des moyens de pilotage en autonomie, et une ligne de
production de véhicules de transport sans cabine n’intégrant que des moyens de pilotage en autonomie. consequence of carrying out on a production site of transport vehicles, the driving of two production lines, one for the manufacture of the vehicle for transport with cabin for driver integrating the means of manual piloting, even, in combination, means of autonomous piloting, and a line of production of transport vehicles without cabin integrating only autonomous piloting means.
[0015] C’est dans le cadre d’une démarche inventive qu’il a été imaginé rationaliser la production de ces véhicules de transport de conteneurs qu’ils aient à être équipés d’une cabine pour chauffeur ou non. Dans la continuité de cette démarche inventive, il a été imaginé une solution qui permette de proposer à la clientèle une flotte modulable, en ce sens qui peut être aisément ajustée en nombre de véhicules avec chauffeur et en véhicules autonomes. It is in the context of an inventive step that it was imagined to rationalize the production of these container transport vehicles whether they have to be equipped with a cabin for a driver or not. In continuation of this inventive step, a solution has been devised which allows customers to offer a modular fleet, in this sense which can be easily adjusted in number of vehicles with driver and in autonomous vehicles.
[0016] A cet effet, l’invention concerne un véhicule pour transport de conteneurs comportant un châssis reposant sur des moyens de roulement en partie orientables et intégrant des moyens moteurs, électriques ou autres, agissant sur tout ou partie des moyens de roulement par l’intermédiaire de moyens d’entraînement appropriés, ledit véhicule comportant encore au moins des moyens de pilotage, des moyens de gestion du fonctionnement des moyens moteurs, des moyens d’actionnement des moyens d’entraînement associés et des moyens de commande de direction des moyens de roulement orientables caractérisé par le fait que lesdits moyens de pilotage sont intégrés dans un module de pilotage et que le châssis comporte à l’une au moins de ses extrémités des moyens de réception et d’accouplement, coopérant de manière escamotable avec des moyens de réception et d’accouplement complémentaire dudit module de pilotage. To this end, the invention relates to a vehicle for transporting containers comprising a chassis resting on partially orientable rolling means and integrating motor, electric or other means, acting on all or part of the rolling means by the intermediary of suitable drive means, said vehicle further comprising at least control means, means for managing the operation of the motor means, means for actuating the associated drive means and means for controlling the direction of the means rolling bearing characterized in that said control means are integrated in a control module and that the chassis comprises at at least one of its ends receiving and coupling means, cooperating retractably with means of reception and complementary coupling of said control module.
[0017] Avantageusement, un tel module de pilotage peut être équipé d’une cabine de pilotage destinée à accueillir un opérateur-chauffeur. Advantageously, such a control module can be equipped with a control cabin intended to accommodate an operator-driver.
[0018] Un tel module de pilotage peut comporter, par conséquent, des moyens de pilotage manuels ou, en combinaison, des moyens de pilotage manuels et des moyens de pilotage en autonomie, ou encore exclusivement des moyens de pilotage en autonomie. Dans ce cas, ce module est dépourvu de cabine pour un opérateur-chauffeur Such a control module may therefore include manual control means or, in combination, manual control means and independent control means, or even exclusively independent control means. In this case, this module does not have a cabin for an operator-driver
[0019] Les avantages découlant de la présente invention consistent en ce qu’il est très aisé d’équiper un véhicule d’un module de pilotage à la demande, voire de substituer un module de pilotage par un autre, que ce soit sur la ligne de
production de ces véhicules de transport, juste avant la livraison à un utilisateur, voir sur site d’utilisation. Ceci procure une grande souplesse dans cette fabrication et dans cette utilisation d’un véhicule selon l’invention. The advantages arising from the present invention consist in that it is very easy to equip a vehicle with a control module on demand, or even to replace a control module with another, either on the line of production of these transport vehicles, just before delivery to a user, see on the site of use. This provides great flexibility in this manufacture and in this use of a vehicle according to the invention.

[0021 ] La présente invention a trait plus particulièrement à un véhicule pour transport de conteneur. Comme souhaite l’illustrer schématiquement les figures 1 et 2, ce véhicule peut emprunter la forme d’un véhicule tracteur auquel peut être attelé une remorque surmontée d’un plateau de chargement pour conteneur ou un véhicule équipé d’un plateau de chargement pour conteneur.

préférentiellement orientables et des moyens de roulement arrière 3b preferably orientable and rear rolling means 3b
susceptibles d’être orientables ou non. likely to be orientable or not.
[0024] Le châssis 2 intègre des moyens moteurs 4 lesquels peuvent emprunter The chassis 2 incorporates motor means 4 which can borrow

[0025] Ainsi, ces moyens moteurs 4 peuvent être de type thermique agissant au Thus, these motor means 4 can be of the thermal type acting at
travers de moyens d’entraînement 5 sur tout ou partie des moyens de roulement 3. A noter que les moyens d’entraînement 5 peuvent être de type mécanique ou
hydraulique. Dans ce dernier cas, les moyens moteurs 4 sont prévus pour produire une pression hydraulique exploitable par des moteurs hydrauliques associés auxdits moyens de roulement 3. through drive means 5 on all or part of the rolling means 3. Note that the drive means 5 can be of mechanical type or hydraulic. In the latter case, the motor means 4 are provided for producing a hydraulic pressure which can be exploited by hydraulic motors associated with said rolling means 3.
[0026] Lesdits moyens moteurs 4 peuvent également être de type électrique sous forme de moteur électrique apte à entraîner les moyens de roulement 3 et alimenté, par exemple, par des moyens d’alimentation autonomes de type batteries. Said motor means 4 can also be of the electric type in the form of an electric motor capable of driving the rolling means 3 and supplied, for example, by autonomous supply means of the battery type.

Of course, one can also imagine hybrid motor means in the form of a heat engine acting on an electric generator for supplying electric drive motors associated with the rolling means 3.
[0028] Ce véhicule 1 comporte également des moyens de pilotage 6 comprenant au moins des moyens de gestion 7 de fonctionnement des moyens moteurs 4, des moyens d’actionnement 8 des moyens d’entraînement 5.

[0030] Selon une particularité de l’invention, ces moyens de pilotage 6 sont intégrés dans un module de pilotage 10. En outre, le châssis 2 comporte, à l’une au moins de ses extrémités 1 1 , des moyens de réception et d’accouplement 12 aptes à coopérer avec des moyens de réception et d’accouplement complémentaires 13 que comporte le module de pilotage 10. Il est à préciser, à ce sujet, que ces moyens de réception et d’accouplement 12 et les moyens de réception et d’accouplement complémentaires 13 sont définis de manière apte à coopérer de manière réversible les uns avec les autres pour permettre le montage d’un tel module de pilotage 10 sur le châssis 2, mais également pour rendre son démontage aisé. According to a feature of the invention, these control means 6 are integrated in a control module 10. In addition, the chassis 2 comprises, at at least one of its ends 1 1, receiving means and coupling 12 capable of cooperating with complementary reception and coupling means 13 that comprises the control module 10.

Aussi, ce module de pilotage 10 peut se présenter sous forme d’un caisson susceptible d’être rapporté, de manière amovible sur l’extrémité 1 1 du châssis 2, ce caisson intégrant l’ensemble des composants de ces moyens de pilotage autonomes 6. To return to the control module 10, it can integrate autonomous control means 6 exclusively. Also, this control module 10 can be in the form of a box capable of being attached, removably on the end 11 of the chassis 2, this box integrating all the components of these autonomous control means 6 .
[0034] Sur cette extrémité 11 du châssis 2 peut également être rapporté un module de pilotage 10A qui, lui, comporte une cabine de pilotage 16 destinée à accueillir un opérateur-chauffeur et comportant en particulier un fauteuil pour cet opérateur-chauffeur et des moyens de pilotage 6 de type manuels. A noter qu’un tel module de pilotage 10a à cabine de pilotage 16 peut être à la fois équipé de moyens de pilotage 6 manuels ou autonomes avec des moyens de sélection du mode de fonctionnement du véhicule 1 en manuel ou de manière autonome. On this end 11 of the chassis 2 can also be attached a control module 10A which, for its part, comprises a control cabin 16 intended to accommodate an operator-driver and in particular comprising an armchair for this operator-driver and means of piloting 6 of manual type. It should be noted that such a control module 10a with a pilot cabin 16 can be both equipped with manual or autonomous piloting means 6 with means for selecting the operating mode of the vehicle 1 in manual or in autonomous mode.
[0035] Il convient de remarquer qu’en associant les moyens de pilotage 6 à un It should be noted that by combining the control means 6 with one
module de pilotage 10, 10A, interchangeable au niveau du véhicule 1 , la gestion de fabrication de tels véhicules est largement facilitée sans compter qu’un module de pilotage 10 peut indifféremment être remplacé par un autre 10a et inversement. control module 10, 10A, interchangeable at the level of vehicle 1, the management of the manufacture of such vehicles is greatly facilitated without taking into account that a control module 10 can indifferently be replaced by another 10a and vice versa.
[0036] La solution selon l’invention consistant à gérer les fonctionnements entre les véhicules de transport 1 au moyen d’un module de pilotage 10, 10A rapporté en partie avant du châssis 2, le module de pilotage 10, 10A par ailleurs dépourvu de tous les composants encombrants que sont les moyens moteurs, les moyens d’entraînement, les commandes de direction des moyens de roulement
orientables, etc... consistent en ce que ledit module de pilotage 10, 10A peut être défini d’encombrement réduit. The solution according to the invention consisting in managing the operations between the transport vehicles 1 by means of a control module 10, 10A attached to the front part of the chassis 2, the control module 10, 10A moreover devoid of all the bulky components that are the driving means, the driving means, the steering controls of the rolling means orientable, etc ... consist in that said control module 10, 10A can be defined with reduced overall dimensions.
[0037] De plus, un module de pilotage 10A équipé d’une cabine de pilotage 16, peut être implanté de manière à être accessible et à faible hauteur depuis le sol en facilitant considérablement son accès à un opérateur-chauffeur. In addition, a control module 10A equipped with a control cabin 16, can be installed so as to be accessible and at low height from the ground by considerably facilitating its access to an operator-driver.
[0038] Là encore, il convient de remarquer que si, jusqu’à présent, l’accès à une cabine de pilotage de véhicule 1 se faisait par l’usage d’un marchepieds relativement vertical, notamment en raison de l’implantation, sous cette cabine de pilotage, d’une multitude de moyens nécessaires au déplacement du véhicule, la solution selon l’invention permet l’accès à la cabine de pilotage 16 à l’aide d’un escalier à accès simplifié, offrant une grande aisance à l’opérateur-chauffeur.
Again, it should be noted that if, until now, access to a vehicle control cabin 1 was by the use of a relatively vertical step, in particular due to the location, under this cockpit, with a multitude of means necessary for moving the vehicle, the solution according to the invention allows access to the cockpit 16 using a staircase with simplified access, offering great ease to the operator-driver.
