Description
Procédé et dispositif de gestion de module d'une ligne de production de récipients Method and device for module management of a container production line
La présente invention entre dans le domaine de la gestion de module d'une ligne de production. The present invention enters the field of module management of a production line.
L'invention trouvera une application préférentielle, mais aucunement limitative, au sein d'une ligne de production de récipients, tels des flacons ou bouteilles, ou bien des cannettes dites « cans ». The invention will find a preferred, but in no way limiting, application within a line for the production of containers, such as flasks or bottles, or else cans called "cans".
De manière connue, la gestion d'une ligne de production s'effectue de façon centralisée au niveau d'un poste de contrôle centralisé situé à un emplacement fixe. Un tel poste permet à un opérateur de commander à distance 1 ' actionnement des différents modules de ladite ligne de production. En particulier, une commande consiste à actionner la motorisation entraînant le déplacement de plusieurs éléments mobiles d'un même module . In known manner, the management of a production line is carried out centrally at a centralized control station located at a fixed location. Such a station allows an operator to remotely control the actuation of the various modules of said production line. In particular, a command consists in actuating the motorization causing the displacement of several mobile elements of the same module.
Dans ce contexte, une problématique réside au moment d'une intervention au niveau d'un module, à l'intérieur de son enceinte, en cas de maintenance, pour réparation ou lors de son installation, nécessitant un premier opérateur aux commandes du poste de contrôle central, tandis qu'un second opérateur intervient directement au niveau dudit module au sein d'une zone d'accès prévue à cet effet. Les premier et second opérateurs échangent des instructions afin d'opérer au mieux l'intervention, notamment de régler parfaitement les différents éléments mobiles dudit module. On comprend aisément que les désagréments et la précarité d'une telle situation. In this context, a problem resides during an intervention at the level of a module, inside its enclosure, in the event of maintenance, for repair or during its installation, requiring a first operator at the controls of the substation. central control, while a second operator intervenes directly at said module within an access area provided for this purpose. The first and second operators exchange instructions in order to operate the intervention as well as possible, in particular to perfectly adjust the various mobile elements of said module. It is easy to understand that the inconvenience and precariousness of such a situation.
C ' est pourquoi il a été imaginé de pouvoir opérer un contrôle d'un module directement par un seul opérateur. Pour ce faire, après avoir configuré un mode spécifique de fonctionnement de l'installation au niveau du poste de contrôle centralisé, l'opérateur se rend jusqu'à la zone d'accès d'un module à contrôler. This is why it was imagined to be able to operate a control of a module directly by a single operator. To do this, after configuring a specific mode of operation of the installation at the centralized control station, the operator goes to the access area of a module to be controlled.
Une telle zone d'accès comprend une restriction d'accès à 1 ' intérieur de 1 ' enceinte du module correspondant . Cette
restriction se présente généralement sous forme d'une ou plusieurs portes, qui doivent être fermées et sont verrouillées lors du fonctionnement en cours de production. Ces portes peuvent être ouvertes à l'arrêt, après déverrouillage, l'ouverture s'effectuant manuellement par l'opérateur. On notera que le verrouillage peut s'effectuer automatiquement, dès la mise en marche d'un des modules. Such an access zone includes a restriction of access to the interior of the enclosure of the corresponding module. This restriction is generally in the form of one or more doors, which must be closed and are locked during operation during production. These doors can be opened when stationary, after unlocking, the opening being carried out manually by the operator. It should be noted that the locking can be carried out automatically, as soon as one of the modules is switched on.
Plus avant, il existe des moyens de commande du déverrouillage des portes . Un tel moyen de commande se présente sous la forme d'un bouton solidaire en façade d'une porte et sur lequel l'opérateur doit appuyer par simple pression, pour demander le déverrouillage de la porte avant de pouvoir l'ouvrir manuellement. Une fois pressé, un tel bouton envoie une commande vers le poste de contrôle centralisé, qui vérifie plusieurs paramètres, notamment le mode de fonctionnement et que la machine est bien à 1 ' arrêt , avant de commander le déverrouillage de ladite porte. Further on, there are means for controlling the unlocking of the doors. Such a control means is in the form of a button integral with the front of a door and on which the operator must press by simple pressure, to request the unlocking of the door before being able to open it manually. Once pressed, such a button sends a command to the centralized control station, which verifies several parameters, in particular the operating mode and that the machine is indeed at a standstill, before commanding the unlocking of said door.
En outre, un tel bouton peut être aussi pressé par l'opérateur après avoir refermé les portes, afin d'avoir vérifié qu'aucune personne n'est plus présente dans l'enceinte du module au niveau de la zone d'accès correspondante. Cette vérification permet d'autoriser les portes à être verrouillées de nouveau et à la machine de passer en un autre mode de fonctionnement, comme le fonctionnement en production. In addition, such a button can also be pressed by the operator after closing the doors, in order to have verified that no person is no longer present in the enclosure of the module at the corresponding access area. This check allows the doors to be locked again and the machine to switch to another operating mode, such as production operation.
Dans ce cadre, afin de contrôler un module, l'opérateur doit configurer un mode de fonctionnement au niveau du poste de contrôle centralisé, dans lequel les portes peuvent être déverrouillées et peuvent être ouvertes . L ' opérateur vient alors demander le déverrouillage des portes puis les ouvre et se connecte physiquement sur un connecteur présent à l'intérieur de l'enceinte du module, afin de contrôler les déplacements d'un ou plusieurs des éléments mobiles dudit module . In this context, in order to control a module, the operator must configure an operating mode at the centralized control station, in which the doors can be unlocked and can be opened. The operator then comes to request the unlocking of the doors, then opens them and physically connects to a connector present inside the enclosure of the module, in order to control the movements of one or more of the mobile elements of said module.
D'ores et déjà, du fait de la proximité d'un opérateur avec des éléments en mouvement, il existe un risque conséquent pour sa sécurité.
De plus, dans ce mode de fonctionnement, il n'est possible d'entraîner les éléments mobiles qu'à une vitesse lente qui pour des raisons de sécurité, est établie au maximum à 10% de la vitesse normale de fonctionnement d'un module (i.e. son mode de fonctionnement en production), afin d'éviter les risques pour l ' opérateur qui intervient à 1 ' intérieur de l ' enceinte du module, avec les portes ouvertes, sans toutefois pouvoir assurer totalement sa sécurité. Already, due to the proximity of an operator with moving parts, there is a significant risk to his safety. In addition, in this operating mode, it is only possible to drive the mobile elements at a slow speed which, for safety reasons, is set at a maximum of 10% of the normal operating speed of a module. (ie its mode of operation in production), in order to avoid risks for the operator who intervenes inside the enclosure of the module, with the doors open, without however being able to fully ensure its safety.
Un tel entraînement à vitesse réduite peut être opéré par une commande automatisée dénommée « JOG » (d'après le terme anglais consacré). Afin d'enclencher cette commande JOG, il est nécessaire de sélectionner ce mode de fonctionnement auprès du poste de contrôle centralisé. Ensuite, il est aussi nécessaire de vérifier qu'un opérateur se situe au sein d'une seule et unique zone d'accès à un module. Pour ce faire, la commande JOG peut comprendre une poignée dite « homme-mort » qui oblige l'opérateur à maintenir manuellement son actionnement et qui se déconnecte si elle est relâchée ou si 1 ' opérateur se crispe . C'est alors la poignée qui est reliées audit connecteur situé à 1 ' intérieur de l ' enceinte du module . Such a reduced speed drive can be operated by an automated control called "JOG" (from the English term consecrated). In order to activate this JOG command, it is necessary to select this operating mode from the centralized control station. Then, it is also necessary to verify that an operator is located within a single access area to a module. To do this, the JOG command can include a handle called "dead man" which forces the operator to manually maintain its actuation and which disconnects if it is released or if the operator tenses up. It is then the handle which is connected to said connector located inside the enclosure of the module.
Un solution alternative consiste à déporter le connecteur à l'extérieur du module, permettant à l'opérateur de refermer les portes, qui sont alors verrouillées lorsqu'il actionne ensuite les déplacements des éléments mobiles du module, ceci en toute sécurité. Une fois les éléments déplacés jusqu'à la position souhaitée, l'opérateur arrête la machine. Les portes sont déverrouillées par pression sur le bouton de commande et 1 ' opérateur peut de nouveau les ouvrir pour intervenir sur certains des éléments positionnés de façon adéquates. An alternative solution consists in deporting the connector outside the module, allowing the operator to close the doors, which are then locked when he then activates the movements of the mobile elements of the module, this in complete safety. Once the elements have been moved to the desired position, the operator stops the machine. The doors are unlocked by pressing the control button and the operator can open them again to intervene on some of the elements positioned appropriately.
Un premier inconvénient réside dans le mode de fonctionnement, à sélectionner au poste de contrôle centralisé, obligeant un opérateur à s'y rendre physiquement, puis à revenir jusqu ' au module sur lequel 1 ' opérateur souhaite intervenir, entraînant une perte de temps non négligeable lors de ces aller-retour. En effet, en fonction de l'implantation de la ligne de production, les déplacements de l'opérateur lui
font perdre une à deux minutes à chaque intervention. A first drawback lies in the operating mode, to be selected at the centralized control station, requiring an operator to go there physically, then to return to the module on which the operator wishes to intervene, resulting in a significant loss of time during these round trips. In fact, depending on the location of the production line, the operator's movements lose one to two minutes with each intervention.
L'invention a pour but de pallier les inconvénients de l'état de la technique en proposant une gestion de module d'une ligne de production qui s'affranchit de tout organe transporté par l ' opérateur et à connecter au module à contrôler . Pour ce faire, l'invention a recours aux moyens de commande du déverrouillage des portes d'accès à l'enceinte du module, à savoir le bouton de commande . The object of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by proposing module management of a production line which does away with any member transported by the operator and to connect to the module to be checked. To do this, the invention uses control means for unlocking the access doors to the enclosure of the module, namely the control button.
De plus, l'invention prévoit d'utiliser autrement les moyens de commande, en particulier en modifiant la commande transmise en fonction du temps d'appui sur le bouton. Ainsi, en appuyant brièvement, l'opérateur peut toujours commander le déverrouillage des portes ou bien confirmer la vérification de non présence à 1 ' intérieur de l ' enceinte en vu de leur verrouillage. De surcroît, uniquement si les portes sont fermées, au travers d'un appui sur une durée prolongée, les portes sont automatiquement verrouillées et une commande est transmise actionnant l'entraînement à basse cadence des éléments mobiles du module en question. In addition, the invention provides for otherwise using the control means, in particular by modifying the command transmitted as a function of the time of pressing the button. Thus, by pressing briefly, the operator can always control the unlocking of the doors or confirm the verification of non presence inside the enclosure in view of their locking. In addition, only if the doors are closed, by pressing for an extended period of time, the doors are automatically locked and a command is transmitted activating the low-speed drive of the mobile elements of the module in question.
Pour ce faire, l'invention concerne un procédé de gestion de module d'une ligne de production, dans lequel, en outre : To do this, the invention relates to a module management method for a production line, in which, in addition:
- au moins un élément mobile est à 1 ' arrêt à 1 ' intérieur d'une enceinte d'un module, - at least one mobile element is at a standstill inside an enclosure of a module,

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description détaillée qui va suivre des modes de réalisation non limitatifs de l'invention, en référence à la figure 1 annexée représentant schématiquement une vue simplifiée d'un exemple de mise en œuvre de la gestion d'un module de soufflage d'une ligne de production de
récipients, montrant différentes actions en fonction de la durée d'appui par un opérateur sur le moyen de commande. Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the detailed description which follows of nonlimiting embodiments of the invention, with reference to the appended FIG. 1 schematically showing a simplified view of an exemplary implementation of management of a blowing module for a production line containers, showing different actions depending on the duration of support by an operator on the control means.
La présente invention concerne la gestion de module 1 d'une ligne de production de récipients 2. The present invention relates to the management of module 1 of a container production line 2.
De tels récipients 2 peuvent être des flacons ou bouteilles, ou bien des cannettes dites « cans ». Such containers 2 can be flasks or bottles, or cans called "cans".
Un exemple de module 1 de fabrication de tels récipients 2 par soufflage est représenté sur la figure 1, montrant plusieurs postes successifs, en particulier un moyen de chauffage de préformes 3, de type four, débouchant sur un module de soufflage ou d'étirage-soufflage desdites préformes 3 chauffées, en vue d'obtenir lesdits récipients 2 au sein de moules 4. Les préformes 3 sont acheminées par un convoyeur 5 au travers du four et les moules 4 sont notamment montés sur un carrousel 6, ledit convoyeur 5 et ledit carrousel 6 constituant chacun un élément mobile dudit module 1. Un élément mobile peut aussi être une roue de transfert des préformes vers ou depuis le four, ainsi que des récipients en sortie de soufflage. An example of a module 1 for manufacturing such containers 2 by blowing is shown in FIG. 1, showing several successive stations, in particular a means of heating preforms 3, of the oven type, leading to a blowing or stretching module. blowing said heated preforms 3, in order to obtain said containers 2 within molds 4. The preforms 3 are conveyed by a conveyor 5 through the furnace and the molds 4 are notably mounted on a carousel 6, said conveyor 5 and said carousel 6 each constituting a movable element of said module 1. A movable element can also be a wheel for transferring the preforms to or from the furnace, as well as receptacles at the blowing outlet.
Essentiellement pour des raisons de sécurité et de restriction d'accès, le module 1 est pourvu d'une enceinte 7 , comprenant au moins une porte 8 d'accès. La figure 1 montre un module 1 dont 1 ' enceinte 7 est pourvue de trois portes 8 d'accès. En position fermée de toutes les portes 8, l'enceinte 7 est donc close et on ne peut pas y pénétrer. Essentially for security and access restriction reasons, the module 1 is provided with an enclosure 7, comprising at least one access door 8. Figure 1 shows a module 1 including one enclosure 7 is provided with three access doors 8. In the closed position of all the doors 8, the enclosure 7 is therefore closed and it cannot be entered.
Afin d'autoriser le fonctionnement dudit module 1, il est nécessaire de respecter certaines consignes de fonctionnement et de sécurité, en particulier chaque porte 8 doit être fermée et verrouillée . In order to authorize the operation of said module 1, it is necessary to comply with certain operating and safety instructions, in particular each door 8 must be closed and locked.
Tout d'abord, pour l'ouverture comme pour la fermeture, chaque porte 8 peut être équipée d'une serrure pourvue d'une poignée, assurant la préhension par un opérateur 10 en vue de son ouverture. Une telle poignée peut être prévue rotative escamotant un pêne, destiné à coopérer avec une gâche présente sur l'habillage, ou le dormant de ladite porte 8. First of all, for opening as for closing, each door 8 can be equipped with a lock provided with a handle, ensuring gripping by an operator 10 with a view to its opening. Such a handle can be provided for rotating retracting a bolt, intended to cooperate with a keeper present on the covering, or the frame of said door 8.
De plus, une telle serrure, en position fermée, permet d'assurer le verrouillage de la porte 8 et d'empêcher l'accès à
1 ' intérieur du module 1 au travers de cette même porte 8. In addition, such a lock, in the closed position, ensures the locking of the door 8 and prevents access to 1 inside the module 1 through this same door 8.
Préférentiellement, le verrouillage de chaque porte 8 peut être prévu électro-magnétique, à savoir que 1 ' actionnement en verrouillage des composants de la serrure peut s'effectuer par blocage électro-magnétique et/ou par déplacement en verrouillage des composants de ladite serrure au travers d'un signal électrique de commande. Il en va de même pour le déverrouillage de chaque porte 8. Preferably, the locking of each door 8 can be provided electro-magnetic, namely that the actuation in locking of the components of the lock can be carried out by electro-magnetic locking and / or by movement in locking of the components of said lock to through an electrical control signal. The same goes for unlocking each door 8.
En outre, l'invention prévoit de pouvoir verrouiller et/ou déverrouiller chaque porte 8 d'un module 1 indépendamment les unes des autres . In addition, the invention provides for being able to lock and / or unlock each door 8 of a module 1 independently of each other.
Pour ce faire, l'invention prévoit un dispositif de gestion dudit module 1. To do this, the invention provides a device for managing said module 1.
Le dispositif de gestion comprend des moyens d' actionnement en déplacement de chaque élément mobile, à savoir au moins le convoyeur 5 et/ou le carrousel 6. En effet, lesdits moyens d' actionnement peuvent assurer le déplacement conjoint ou non, de façon synchrone ou non, des éléments mobiles du module 1. Généralement, les moyens d' actionnement permettent de déplacer l'élément mobile situé au niveau de la porte d'accès 8, de façon visible en ligne directe par l'opérateur 10. En somme, le bouton 9 permet de déplacer un élément mobile à proximité directe de l'opérateur 10, dans son champ de vision, notamment au travers d'une paroi transparente de 1 ' enceinte 7 ou de la porte 8. The management device comprises means for actuating the displacement of each movable element, namely at least the conveyor 5 and / or the carousel 6. In fact, said actuation means can ensure joint movement or not, synchronously or not, of the mobile elements of the module 1. Generally, the actuation means make it possible to move the mobile element situated at the level of the access door 8, visibly in a direct line by the operator 10. In sum, the button 9 makes it possible to move a mobile element in the immediate vicinity of the operator 10, in his field of vision, in particular through a transparent wall of the enclosure 7 or of the door 8.
Le dispositif de gestion comprend aussi des moyens de commande en verrouillage et/ou en déverrouillage de chaque porte 8. Ces moyens de commande peuvent se présenter sous la forme d ' au moins un bouton 9. The management device also comprises control means for locking and / or unlocking each door 8. These control means can be in the form of at least one button 9.
Un tel bouton 9 peut être de type tactile ou comprend un poussoir. Such a button 9 can be of the tactile type or comprises a push-button.
Avantageusement, le dispositif de gestion comprend des moyens de contrôle desdits moyens d' actionnement, lesdits moyens de contrôle étant situés sur un habillage extérieur de ladite porte 8. En d'autres termes, l'invention prévoit d'extraire les moyens permettant de contrôler la mise en
déplacement des éléments mobiles du module 1 et de les positionner à l'extérieur de son enceinte 7. De plus, ces moyens sont placés sur l'habillage, à savoir le châssis extérieur de la machine. A titre d'exemple, le bouton 9 peut être positionné sur le dormant ou l'ouvrant de la porte 8, voire sur une de ses parois par insert. De préférence, le bouton 9 est situé à côté de la poignée de la porte 8. Le bouton 9 se situe approximativement à hauteur accessible par la main d'un homme. Dès lors, un opérateur 10 se situe en dehors du module 1 s'il souhaite actionner le déplacement des éléments mobiles, améliorant considérablement sa sécurité. Advantageously, the management device comprises means for controlling said actuation means, said control means being located on an outer covering of said door 8. In other words, the invention provides for extracting the means making it possible to control setting displacement of the mobile elements of module 1 and positioning them outside its enclosure 7. In addition, these means are placed on the covering, namely the external chassis of the machine. By way of example, the button 9 can be positioned on the frame or the opening of the door 8, or even on one of its walls by insert. Preferably, the button 9 is located next to the handle of the door 8. The button 9 is located approximately at a height accessible by the hand of a man. Consequently, an operator 10 is located outside the module 1 if he wishes to actuate the movement of the mobile elements, considerably improving his security.
Selon le mode préférentiel de réalisation, lesdits moyens de commande en verrouillage comprennent lesdits moyens de contrôle. En somme, les moyens commandant le verrouillage et/ou déverrouillage de chaque porte 8, permettent de contrôler 1 ' actionnement en déplacement du ou des éléments mobiles présents en vis-à-vis de ladite porte 8. Préférentiellement, le même bouton 9 fait office de moyens de commande en verrouillage/déverrouillage et de moyens de contrôle du déplacement du ou des éléments mobiles. According to the preferred embodiment, said locking control means comprise said control means. In sum, the means controlling the locking and / or unlocking of each door 8, make it possible to control the actuation in movement of the mobile element or elements present opposite said door 8. Preferably, the same button 9 acts locking / unlocking control means and means for controlling the movement of the mobile element or elements.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les moyens de commande peuvent comprendre deux boutons 9 adjacents, à une distance qui permet d'appuyer simultanément avec les doigts d'une même main ou des deux mains d'un même opérateur 10. Les boutons 9 permettent l'un d'interagir avec le verrouillage/déverrouillage et 1 ' autre avec le contrôle de 1 ' actionnement de 1 ' élément mobile . According to another embodiment, the control means can comprise two adjacent buttons 9, at a distance which makes it possible to press simultaneously with the fingers of the same hand or with the two hands of the same operator 10. The buttons 9 allow one to interact with the locking / unlocking and the other with the control of the actuation of the movable element.
Dès lors, l'opérateur 10 devra obtenir le verrouillage de ladite porte 8 du poste, qui doit donc être fermée, s'il souhaite actionner les éléments mobiles correspondants. Consequently, the operator 10 must obtain the locking of said door 8 of the station, which must therefore be closed, if he wishes to actuate the corresponding mobile elements.
A cet effet, l'invention prévoit un procédé de gestion correspondant, préférentiellement pour la mise en œuvre dudit dispositif de gestion. To this end, the invention provides a corresponding management method, preferably for the implementation of said management device.
Lorsque au moins un élément mobile du module 1 est à l'arrêt à l'intérieur de l'enceinte 7 dudit module 1, au moins
une porte 8 d'accès à l'intérieur de l'enceinte 7 est fermée. De préférence, toute les portes 8 sont fermées. When at least one mobile element of module 1 is stopped inside the enclosure 7 of said module 1, at least a door 8 for access to the interior of the enclosure 7 is closed. Preferably, all the doors 8 are closed.
Une fois fermée, on verrouille alors ladite porte 8. De préférence le verrouillage de la porte 8 peut induire le verrouillage de toute les portes 8 du module 1. Le verrouillage s'effectue en appuyant sur lesdits moyens de commande, à savoir le bouton 9. Once closed, said door 8 is then locked. Preferably, the locking of the door 8 can induce the locking of all the doors 8 of the module 1. The locking is effected by pressing on said control means, namely the button 9 .
Avantageusement, on actionne en déplacement l'élément mobile en appuyant de façon prolongée sur lesdits moyens de commande, à savoir sur ledit bouton 9. Advantageously, the movable element is actuated in displacement by pressing for a long time on said control means, namely on said button 9.
En somme, en appuyant brièvement sur le bouton 9 des moyens de commande, on enclenche le verrouillage ou le déverrouillage de la serrure de la porte 8, tandis que si on appuie plus longuement, une fois le verrouillage de la porte 8 effectif, alors l'élément mobile commence à se déplacer. In short, by briefly pressing the button 9 of the control means, one engages the locking or unlocking of the door lock 8, while if one presses longer, once the locking of the door 8 is effective, then the the moving element begins to move.
La durée de 1 ' appui prolongé sur les moyens de commande s ' effectue selon une durée prédéfinie . Cette durée peut être définie initialement lors de l'installation, comme étant au minimum de deux ou trois secondes, voire davantage. Elle peut être réglée ultérieurement, pour être augmentée jusqu'à une durée temporelle souhaitée qui sera enregistrée et prise en compte ultérieurement lors des appuis . The duration of one long press on the control means takes place according to a predefined duration. This duration can be defined initially during installation, as being at least two or three seconds, or even more. It can be adjusted later, to be increased to a desired time period which will be recorded and taken into account later when pressed.
Préférentiellement, la durée prédéfinie est d'au moins trois secondes, de préférence de cinq ou six secondes Preferably, the predefined duration is at least three seconds, preferably five or six seconds
Pour le déverrouillage de la porte 8, l'invention prévoit de rester appuyer sur les moyens de commande, à savoir le bouton 9 monté sur l'habillage de la porte 8, moins de trois secondes, à savoir en dessous de la durée prédéfinie. Cette durée égale ou inférieure à trois secondes est donc brève, au sens de 1 ' invention . For unlocking the door 8, the invention provides to remain pressed on the control means, namely the button 9 mounted on the covering of the door 8, less than three seconds, namely below the predefined duration. This duration equal to or less than three seconds is therefore brief, within the meaning of the invention.
En vue du verrouillage, l'appui peut aussi être bref, à savoir inférieur ou égal à trois secondes, mais aussi plus long, en restant appuyé sur le bouton 9 pendant plus de trois secondes . With a view to locking, the press may also be brief, namely less than or equal to three seconds, but also longer, by remaining pressed on the button 9 for more than three seconds.
Préférentiellement, en restant appuyé sur les moyens de commande, à savoir le bouton 9, de façon prolongée au moins
trois secondes, au moins le temps de la durée prédéfinie, on contrôle alors 1 ' actionnement en déplacement de 1 ' élément mobile. Cet mise en déplacement s'effectue donc si l'opérateur 10 maintient son appui sur le bouton 9 pendant plus de trois secondes . Preferably, while remaining pressed on the control means, namely button 9, for at least a prolonged period three seconds, at least the time of the predefined duration, the movement actuation of the movable element is then checked. This displacement is therefore carried out if the operator 10 keeps pressing the button 9 for more than three seconds.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'appui sur les moyens de commande, à savoir le bouton 9, s'effectue pendant cinq ou six secondes. Ainsi, un opérateur 10 ne peut pas volontairement se tromper entre enclencher le verrouillage sur une durée inférieure à trois secondes et lancer 1 ' actionnement de 1 ' élément mobile en restant appuyé sur une durée bien supérieure, allant jusqu'au double de six secondes, voire davantage de temps . According to a particular embodiment, the pressing of the control means, namely the button 9, takes place for five or six seconds. Thus, an operator 10 cannot deliberately make a mistake between initiating the locking for a duration of less than three seconds and launching the actuation of the mobile element while remaining pressed for a much greater duration, up to twice six seconds, even more time.
Dès lors, l'invention prévoit de mesurer la durée d'appui sur les moyens de commande, à savoir le bouton 9. Le dispositif de gestion comprend donc des moyens de mesure de la durée d'appui sur lesdits moyens de commande et d ' actionnement en déplacement de l ' élément mobile en fonction de ladite durée d' appui . Therefore, the invention provides for measuring the duration of support on the control means, namely the button 9. The management device therefore comprises means for measuring the duration of support on said control means and moving actuation of the mobile element as a function of said duration of support.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, l'invention prévoit d'arrêter 1 ' actionnement en appuyant sur lesdits moyens de commande. En somme, l'opérateur 10 appuie longuement, au moins plus de trois secondes, sur le bouton 9 et l'élément mobile commence à se déplacer. Il relâche alors le bouton 9 et l'élément mobile continue de se mouvoir. L'opérateur 10 doit alors appuyer de nouveau sur le bouton 9 pour arrêter 1 ' élément mobile. Ce nouvel appui peut s'effectuer brièvement, moins de trois secondes, ou bien aussi de façon prolongée. According to a first embodiment, the invention provides for stopping the actuation by pressing on said control means. In short, the operator 10 presses the button 9 for a long time, at least more than three seconds, and the movable element begins to move. He then releases the button 9 and the mobile element continues to move. The operator 10 must then press the button 9 again to stop the mobile element. This new press can be done briefly, less than three seconds, or even for a long time.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation alternatif, l'invention prévoit d'arrêter 1 ' actionnement en déplacement de l'élément mobile en relâchant lesdits moyens de commande. En somme, tant que l'opérateur 10 maintient son appui, l'élément mobile se déplace. C'est uniquement quand il relâche le bouton 9, que l'élément mobile s'arrête. Ce mode de fonctionnement permet d'assurer une sécurité supplémentaire, de type main morte, au cas où l'opérateur 10 ne serait plus à même d'appuyer à nouveau
sur le bouton 9 pour arrêter le déplacement de 1 ' élément mobile . According to another alternative embodiment, the invention provides for stopping the actuation in movement of the mobile element by releasing said control means. In short, as long as the operator 10 maintains its support, the mobile element moves. It is only when it releases the button 9 that the movable element stops. This operating mode provides additional safety, of the dead hand type, in the event that the operator 10 is no longer able to press again. on button 9 to stop the movement of one movable element.
On notera que le déplacement induit par 1 ' appui prolongé par un opérateur 10 sur les moyens de contrôle, préférentiellement sur les moyens de commande, à savoir le bouton 9, permet la mise en déplacement lente de l'élément mobile. En somme, cette fonction permet à l'opérateur 10 de déplacer l'élément mobile à une vitesse réduite, inférieure ou égale à la vitesse nominale de fonctionnement en production . De préférence, cette vitesse de déplacement est inférieure ou égale à dix pourcents (10%) de la vitesse nominale de fonctionnement en production. A titre d'exemple, une vitesse de cadence nominale peut être environ de trente-six tours par minute. Cette vitesse lente permet à l'opérateur 10 de régler précisément et visuellement les déplacements d'un élément mobile, notamment en vue d'une intervention de maintenance, au moment de l'installation de la machine, ou encore un réglage entre deux productions différentes .pour le carrousel et la vitesse lente correspond approximativement donc à moins ou jusqu'à trois tours par minute. It will be noted that the displacement induced by the prolonged pressing by an operator 10 on the control means, preferably on the control means, namely the button 9, allows the moving element to move slowly. In short, this function allows the operator 10 to move the mobile element at a reduced speed, less than or equal to the nominal operating speed in production. Preferably, this displacement speed is less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the nominal operating speed in production. As an example, a nominal cadence speed can be about thirty-six revolutions per minute. This slow speed allows the operator 10 to precisely and visually adjust the displacements of a movable element, in particular with a view to a maintenance intervention, at the time of installation of the machine, or even an adjustment between two different productions. .for the carousel and the slow speed corresponds approximately therefore to less or up to three revolutions per minute.
Dans ce contexte, en appuyant de façon prolongée jusqu'à la mise en déplacement de l'élément mobile, l'opérateur 10 peut aussi maintenir son appui sur le bouton 9 des moyens de commande, en vue d'accélérer la vitesse de déplacement jusqu'à atteindre la valeur maximale de la vitesse lente, à savoir de 10% de la vitesse nominale. In this context, by pressing and holding until the moving element is moved, the operator 10 can also keep pressing the button 9 of the control means, in order to accelerate the speed of movement up to 'to reach the maximum value for slow speed, namely 10% of nominal speed.
L'opérateur 10 peut aussi appuyer de façon prolongée, au moins trois secondes, sur le bouton 9 pour mettre en déplacement l'élément mobile, puis relâcher le bouton 9. L'élément mobile va accélérer automatiquement jusqu'à atteindre la valeur maximale de cette vitesse lente, à savoir jusqu'à 10% de la vitesse nominale. A tout moment, l'opérateur 10 peut alors appuyer de nouveau sur le bouton 9, pour arrêter l'accélération et maintenir la vitesse à la valeur au moment de ce nouvel appui. L'opérateur 10 peut ensuite encore appuyer brièvement sur le bouton 9 pour stopper l'élément mobile, ou
bien de façon prolongée pour augmenter de nouveau la vitesse et accélérer le déplacement de 1 ' élément mobile . The operator 10 can also press and hold the button 9 for at least three seconds to move the mobile element, then release the button 9. The mobile element will automatically accelerate until it reaches the maximum value of this slow speed, namely up to 10% of the nominal speed. At any time, the operator 10 can then press the button 9 again, to stop the acceleration and maintain the speed at the value when this is pressed again. The operator 10 can then briefly press the button 9 again to stop the moving element, or well in a prolonged way to increase the speed again and accelerate the movement of one movable element.
D'autres possibilités de contrôle peuvent être envisagées à partir des différentes durées d'appui et du nombre d'appuis successifs par l'opérateur 10, influençant sur la mise en déplacement, à savoir 1 ' actionnement et la vitesse, de 1 ' élément mobile . Other possibilities of control can be envisaged from the different durations of support and the number of successive presses by the operator 10, influencing the setting in displacement, namely the actuation and the speed, of the element. mobile.
L'invention permet donc à un opérateur 10 de contrôler le déplacement d'un élément mobile d'un module 1 d'une ligne de production de récipients 2, depuis l'extérieur de l'enceinte 7, en toute sécurité. L'invention permet de s'assurer que la porte 8 en vis-à-vis de l'élément mobile est verrouillée, au moment où l'opérateur 10 enclenche 1 ' actionnement de l'élément mobile, limitant tout risque d'accident.
The invention therefore allows an operator 10 to control the movement of a mobile element of a module 1 of a container production line 2, from outside the enclosure 7, in complete safety. The invention makes it possible to ensure that the door 8 facing the mobile element is locked, at the moment when the operator 10 engages the actuation of the mobile element, limiting any risk of accident.
