Description

Dispositif de rangement de moyens de locomotions légers pour espaces urbains exigus Device for storing light means of transport for cramped urban spaces
L’invention concerne les dispositifs de rangements urbains, et plus précisément des dispositifs destinés aux vélos. The invention relates to urban storage devices, and more specifically devices intended for bicycles.
Le stockage des moyens de locomotion légers que sont les vélos dans les zones urbaines à forte densité de population est un enjeu actuel majeur au sein des villes. En ce sens, les habitations présentes dans de telles zones prennent, pour la grande majorité, la forme d’immeubles présentant une cour intérieure. L’entrée de ces immeubles ainsi que leur cour intérieure sont des espaces exigus où il est très compliqué pour les habitants de stocker leurs moyens de locomotions légers tels que les vélos sans risquer de se les faire dérober ou d’encombrer le passage disponible pour les autres habitants ou encore pour le passage de conteneurs de déchets. The storage of light means of transport such as bicycles in urban areas with high population density is a major current issue in cities. In this sense, the dwellings present in such areas take, for the most part, the form of buildings with an interior courtyard. The entrance to these buildings as well as their interior courtyard are cramped spaces where it is very difficult for residents to store their light means of transport such as bicycles without risking having them stolen or obstructing the passage available for other inhabitants or for the passage of waste containers.
On connaît déjà dans l'état la technique des espaces dédiés au rangement de tels moyens de locomotions. On connait par exemple des râteliers partagés auxquels les utilisateurs attachent leur vélo. On connait également des pièces dédiées à l’entrée des immeubles faisant office de parking intérieur pour les habitants. We already know in the state the technique of spaces dedicated to the storage of such means of locomotion. We know, for example, of shared racks to which users attach their bicycles. We also know of rooms dedicated to the entrance of buildings serving as indoor parking for the inhabitants.
De tels dispositifs de rangement présentent de nombreux inconvénients. En effet, ils sont volumineux et requièrent un espace au sol qui peut se révéler très important pour les dispositifs les plus volumineux, espace au sol qui n’est pas disponible dans des espaces urbains exigus, tels que les cours intérieures d’immeuble. Concernant spécifiquement les râteliers partagés, ceux-ci se trouvent très souvent à l’extérieur de l’enceinte de l’immeuble et ne sont pas abrités, ce qui engendre des dégradations des vélos dues aux intempéries. Concernant les pièces de rangement dédiées, celles-ci ne permettent généralement pas de disposer d’un emplacement attribué à chacun des habitants de l’immeuble et il est donc fréquent que les places viennent à manquer de sorte que des vélos doivent reposer sur ceux déjà présents, ce qui là-aussi provoque des dégradations. Such storage devices have many drawbacks. Indeed, they are bulky and require floor space which can be very important for the most voluminous devices, floor space which is not available in cramped urban spaces, such as the interior courtyards of buildings. Specifically concerning the shared racks, these are very often located outside the building and are not sheltered, which causes damage to the bicycles due to bad weather. Concerning the dedicated storage rooms, these generally do not allow for a space allocated to each of the inhabitants of the building and it is therefore common for places to run out so that bicycles must rest on those already present, which again causes degradation.
En outre, les dispositifs de rangement connus ne représentent pas des solutions sécurisées pour les utilisateurs. En ce sens, on constate une augmentation sans précédent en France des vols de vélos (augmentation de 62% en 2020 par rapport à l’année précédente). En parallèle, les vélos étant de plus en plus sophistiqués, lourds et onéreux, il devient donc impératif de proposer une solution de rangement qui soit à la fois sécurisée et pratique pour l’utilisateur. Furthermore, known storage devices do not represent secure solutions for users. In this sense, there is an unprecedented increase in bicycle theft in France (62% increase in 2020 compared to the previous year). At the same time, bicycles are becoming more and more sophisticated, heavy and expensive, so it becomes imperative to offer a storage solution that is both secure and practical for the user.
Pour tenter de répondre à cette double problématique, tout en tenant compte de la hausse de la demande en rangement pour ces vélos, il a été envisagé la construction de parkings dédiés aux vélos, souterrains et/ou hors sol, comprenant des places sécurisées. En pratique, l’utilisateur qui souhaite ranger son vélo présente celui-ci à l’entrée du parking où il est pris en charge et est transporté jusqu’à un emplacement disponible du parking. L’intérieur du parking n’est pas accessible ce qui sécurise le rangement du vélo. Cette solution présente néanmoins les inconvénients suivants. Elle requière un espace au sol considérable et ne peut donc pas être implémentée dans les espaces urbains exigus. Autrement dit, elle ne peut être implémentée que dans des espaces qui seront nécessairement éloignés des logements d’un grand nombre d’utilisateurs, ce qui est contraignant pour ces derniers notamment en cas d’intempéries puisqu’ils doivent d’abord ranger leur vélo au parking, puis rejoindre leur domicile à pied. Enfin, ces solutions sont onéreuses pour l’utilisateur car elles n’ont pas vocation à être utilisées quotidiennement mais plutôt au cas par cas, comme cela est le cas pour les parkings dédiés aux véhicules automobiles. In an attempt to respond to this dual problem, while taking into account the increased demand for storage for these bicycles, the construction of parking spaces dedicated to bicycles, underground and/or above ground, including places secured. In practice, the user who wishes to store his bicycle presents it at the entrance to the car park where it is picked up and transported to an available space in the car park. The interior of the car park is not accessible, which secures the storage of the bicycle. This solution nevertheless has the following drawbacks. It requires considerable floor space and therefore cannot be implemented in cramped urban spaces. In other words, it can only be implemented in spaces that will necessarily be far from the homes of a large number of users, which is restrictive for the latter, especially in the event of bad weather since they must first store their bikes. in the car park, then walk to their home. Finally, these solutions are costly for the user because they are not intended to be used daily but rather on a case-by-case basis, as is the case for car parks dedicated to motor vehicles.
L'invention a notamment pour but de résoudre l’ensemble des problèmes et inconvénients mentionnés précédemment en proposant un dispositif de rangement de vélos qui soit à la fois pratique, sécurisé et adaptable au sein même des espaces urbains exigus, ou à proximité immédiate de ces derniers. The object of the invention is in particular to solve all the problems and drawbacks mentioned above by proposing a bicycle storage device which is at the same time practical, secure and adaptable within cramped urban spaces, or in the immediate vicinity of these last.
A cet effet l’invention a pour objet dispositif de rangement de vélos pour espace urbain exigu, tels qu’une cour intérieure d’immeuble, ledit dispositif comprenant : To this end, the subject of the invention is a bicycle storage device for cramped urban space, such as an interior courtyard of a building, said device comprising:
- au moins deux organes de stockage individuels destinés à être attenants à au moins un des murs existants dudit espace urbain et formant, dans une position de stockage, une colonne, - at least two individual storage units intended to be attached to at least one of the existing walls of said urban space and forming, in a storage position, a column,
- un élévateur vertical configuré pour déplacer verticalement au moins une partie de l’organe de stockage entre une position haute dans laquelle ladite au moins une partie de l’organe de stockage est situé en regard de sa position de stockage et une position basse dans laquelle ladite au moins partie de l’organe de stockage est située au sol, l’élévateur vertical comprenant un bâti dont au moins une partie est fixée à l’un des murs existants dudit espace urbain, - a vertical lifter configured to vertically move at least part of the storage member between a high position in which said at least part of the storage member is located opposite its storage position and a low position in which said at least part of the storage unit is located on the ground, the vertical lift comprising a frame of which at least part is fixed to one of the existing walls of said urban space,
- des moyens de chargement configurés pour déplacer horizontalement ladite moins une partie de l’organe de stockage entre la position de stockage et la position haute,- loading means configured to horizontally move said least part of the storage member between the storage position and the high position,
- une unité de commande électronique configurée pour commander l’actionnement de l’élévateur vertical et/ou des moyens de chargement en fonction d’une commande d’un utilisateur associé à un organe de stockage. - an electronic control unit configured to control the actuation of the vertical lift and/or the loading means according to a command from a user associated with a storage device.
Ainsi, le dispositif selon l’invention permet de laisser une majeure partie de la surface au sol de l’espace exigu urbain accessible et réduit donc très peu le passage disponible pour les habitants. Il permet également à l’utilisateur concerné de posséder un stockage individuel et sécurisé, et ce, au plus proche de son lieu de vie. L’utilisateur peut donc y stocker son vélo mais aussi des accessoires parfois onéreux en toute tranquillité puisqu’il est le seul à pouvoir accéder à son organe de stockage individuel (ou deux personnes pour les boîtes contenant deux vélos) via l’actionnement de l’unité de commande électronique. En outre, le dispositif selon l’invention est à la fois robuste, de par sa fixation à l’un au moins des murs de l’espace urbain, et simple d’installation puisqu’il n’implique pas d’opération de génie civil pour son implémentation au sein de l’espace urbain exigu. En ce sens, le dispositif selon l’invention permet également une maintenance facilitée. Un tel dispositif est également moins onéreux qu’un parking dédié selon l’art antérieur. Il augmente la valeur du bien immobilier dans lequel il est installé, et constitue une solution esthétique pour des cours d’immeuble, ainsi qu’une solution d’habillage d’un mur aveugle. Thus, the device according to the invention makes it possible to leave a major part of the ground surface of the cramped urban space accessible and therefore very little reduces the passage available for the inhabitants. It also allows the user concerned to have individual and secure storage, and this, as close as possible to his place of life. The user can therefore store his bike but also sometimes expensive accessories in complete peace of mind since he is the only one who can access his individual storage unit (or two people for boxes containing two bicycles) by operating the electronic control unit. In addition, the device according to the invention is both robust, due to its attachment to at least one of the walls of the urban space, and simple to install since it does not involve any engineering operation. civil for its implementation within the cramped urban space. In this sense, the device according to the invention also allows easier maintenance. Such a device is also less expensive than a dedicated car park according to the prior art. It increases the value of the property in which it is installed, and constitutes an aesthetic solution for building courtyards, as well as a solution for covering a blind wall.
On entend par « espaces urbains exigus » tout espace attenant à des logements urbains. Il peut par exemple s’agir d’une cour intérieure d’immeuble, un passage privé, un jardin, une portion de trottoir attenante à un mur d’un immeuble, etc. De tels espaces peuvent être préexistants au dispositif selon l’invention où être construits concomitamment avec ce dernier. “Small urban spaces” means any space adjoining urban housing. It can, for example, be an interior courtyard of a building, a private passage, a garden, a portion of sidewalk adjoining a wall of a building, etc. Such spaces may pre-exist the device according to the invention or be constructed concomitantly with the latter.

On a représenté sur les figures 1 à 6 un dispositif de rangement de vélos pour espace urbain exigu selon plusieurs variantes de l’invention, ledit dispositif étant désigné par la référence générale 1 . There is shown in Figures 1 to 6 a bicycle storage device for cramped urban space according to several variants of the invention, said device being designated by the general reference 1.
Le dispositif de rangement 1 de vélos 17 pour espace urbain exigu 3, tels qu’une cour intérieure d’immeuble 3, par exemple présentant un mur aveugle, selon l’ensemble des variantes possibles de l’invention comprend : - au moins deux organes de stockage 2 individuels destinés à être attenants à au moins un des murs 7 existants dudit espace urbain 3 et formant, dans une position de stockage, une colonne, The storage device 1 for bicycles 17 for cramped urban space 3, such as an interior courtyard of a building 3, for example having a blind wall, according to all the possible variants of the invention comprises: - at least two individual storage units 2 intended to be adjacent to at least one of the existing walls 7 of said urban space 3 and forming, in a storage position, a column,
- un élévateur vertical 5 configuré pour déplacer verticalement au moins une partie de l’organe de stockage 2 entre une position haute dans laquelle ladite au moins une partie de l’organe de stockage 2 est située en regard de sa position de stockage et une position basse dans laquelle ladite au moins partie de l’organe de stockage 2 est située au sol, l’élévateur vertical 5 comprenant un bâti 14 dont au moins une partie est fixée à l’un des murs 7 existants dudit espace urbain 3, - a vertical elevator 5 configured to move vertically at least a part of the storage member 2 between a high position in which said at least a part of the storage member 2 is located opposite its storage position and a position lower in which said at least part of the storage unit 2 is located on the ground, the vertical lift 5 comprising a frame 14 of which at least a part is fixed to one of the existing walls 7 of said urban space 3,
- des moyens de chargement 12 configurés pour déplacer horizontalement ladite moins une partie de l’organe de stockage 2 entre la position de stockage et la position haute, - loading means 12 configured to horizontally move said at least one part of the storage member 2 between the storage position and the high position,
- une unité de commande électronique (non représentée) configurée pour commander l’actionnement de l’élévateur vertical 5 et/ou des moyens de chargement 12 en fonction d’une commande d’un utilisateur 22 associé à un organe de stockage 2. - an electronic control unit (not shown) configured to control the actuation of the vertical lift 5 and/or the loading means 12 according to a command from a user 22 associated with a storage device 2.
Dans les variantes représentées à l’appui des figures 1 à 6, le dispositif 1 selon l’invention comprend une structure de stockage 8 et ladite au moins une partie de l’organe de stockage 2 est retirée correspond à la totalité de l’organe de stockage 2. La position stockée correspond, dans ces variantes, à la position dans laquelle l’organe de stockage 2 est rangé au sein du compartiment dédiée de la structure de stockage 8. Toutefois, dans des variantes non représentées du dispositif selon l’invention, chaque organe de stockage 2 peut être fixé directement à l’un des murs 7, sous la forme d’une ou plusieurs colonnes, et comprend une partie amovible prise en charge par les moyens de chargement 12 et l’élévateur vertical 5 lors de la commande de l’utilisateur 22. Cette partie amovible peut, à titre d’exemples, être un plateau ou un tiroir amovible. Ainsi, le dispositif selon ces variantes non illustrées ne nécessite pas de structure de stockage, ce qui réduit le coût global du dispositif 1 . In the variants shown in support of Figures 1 to 6, the device 1 according to the invention comprises a storage structure 8 and said at least part of the storage member 2 is removed corresponds to the whole of the member storage 2. The stored position corresponds, in these variants, to the position in which the storage member 2 is stored within the dedicated compartment of the storage structure 8. However, in variants not shown of the device according to the invention, each storage member 2 can be fixed directly to one of the walls 7, in the form of one or more columns, and comprises a removable part supported by the loading means 12 and the vertical lifter 5 during of the user's control 22. This removable part can, by way of example, be a tray or a removable drawer. Thus, the device according to these non-illustrated variants does not require a storage structure, which reduces the overall cost of the device 1 .
Dans les variantes représentées à l’appui des figures 1 à 6, l’élévateur vertical 5 comprend une plateforme 9 composée d’un cadre 15 supportant une paire de rails horizontaux 10 dans laquelle viennent se loger des roulettes 11 de l’organe de stockage 2 à déplacer Le cadre 15 permet également le support des moyens de chargement. Toutefois, dans des variantes non représentées du dispositif selon l’invention, l’élévateur vertical 5 peut être dépourvu d’une telle plateforme et comprendre, à titre d’exemple, un système du type treuil avec poulie, permettant le déplacement vertical de bras de préhension coulissants configurés pour saisir tout ou partie de l’organe de stockage. In the variants shown in support of Figures 1 to 6, the vertical lift 5 comprises a platform 9 consisting of a frame 15 supporting a pair of horizontal rails 10 in which are housed wheels 11 of the storage member 2 to move The frame 15 also allows the support of the loading means. However, in variants not shown of the device according to the invention, the vertical lift 5 may be devoid of such a platform and comprise, by way of example, a system of the winch type with pulley, allowing the vertical movement of arms sliding grippers configured to grip all or part of the storage member.
Dans les variantes représentées à l’appui des figures 1 à 6, les moyens de chargement comprennent un bras coulissant 12 et une glissière à crémaillère 19. Le bras coulissant 12 s’étend depuis le cadre 15 de la plateforme 9 et comprend à son extrémité distale une portion d’ancrage 25 en U, formant crochet, destinée à venir en interaction avec des traverses inférieures 16 de l’organe de stockage 2. Plus précisément, la forme de la portion d’ancrage 25 est correspondante à celle des traverses inférieures 16 permettant ainsi d’engager ces dernières. Toutefois, dans des variantes non représentées du dispositif selon l’invention, ces moyens de chargement peuvent être différents. A titre d’exemple, ces moyens peuvent comprendre un ou plusieurs bras de préhension configurés pour saisir l’organe de stockage. Ces moyens de chargement peuvent, en variante, comporter un bras coulissant destiné à s’engager dans une rainure de l’organe de stockage. Les moyens de chargement peuvent également comprendre un organe de déverrouillage à détrompeur mécanique permettant de déverrouiller l’organe de stockage à déplacer, ce dernier étant muni d’un détrompeur mécanique correspondant. In the variants shown in support of Figures 1 to 6, the loading means comprise a sliding arm 12 and a rack slide 19. The arm slider 12 extends from the frame 15 of the platform 9 and comprises at its distal end a U-shaped anchoring portion 25, forming a hook, intended to come into interaction with the lower crosspieces 16 of the storage member 2. More precisely, the shape of the anchoring portion 25 is corresponding to that of the lower crosspieces 16, thus making it possible to engage the latter. However, in variants of the device according to the invention, not shown, these loading means may be different. By way of example, these means may comprise one or more gripping arms configured to grip the storage member. These loading means may, as a variant, comprise a sliding arm intended to engage in a groove of the storage member. The loading means may also comprise an unlocking member with a mechanical foolproof device making it possible to unlock the storage member to be moved, the latter being provided with a corresponding mechanical foolproof device.
Nous allons par la suite décrire plus en détails structurellement et fonctionnellement les variantes de l’invention représentées aux figures 1 à 6. We will subsequently describe in more detail structurally and functionally the variants of the invention shown in Figures 1 to 6.
Le dispositif 1 de l’invention comprend des organes de stockage 2 formant chacun un volume de rangement individualisé et sécurisé. Ces organes de stockage 2 ont une forme de boite dont l’espace intérieur de rangement est accessible via l’ouverture d’une porte 4 coulissante sur glissières verticales télescopiques. Dans les variantes représentées sur les figures, la porte 4 matérialise une face frontale de l’organe de stockage 2. Pour des raisons d’adaptation à l’espace urbain 3 dans lequel le dispositif 1 est installé, la porte 4 peut tout à fait être disposée latéralement ce qui permet, en outre, le rangement de vélos plus larges. Pour ces mêmes raisons d’adaptations, il est tout à fait envisageable que le déplacement vertical de ladite au moins une partie de l’organe de stockage 2 s’opère sur le côté latéral de la colonne d’organes de stockage 2 et non sur le côté frontal comme cela est illustré sur les figures. Les organes de stockage 2 sont chacun pourvus de roulettes 11 facilitant leur déplacement horizontal entre la position de stockage et la position haute et entre la position basse et la position de chargement (ces déplacements s’effectuant au sein des rails horizontaux 10 de la plateforme 9 et les rails horizontaux 13 de la structure de stockage 8 seront décrits plus précisément par la suite). Chaque organe de stockage 2 comprend trois traverses inférieures 16, réparties le long de l’organe de stockage 2. Les organes de stockage 2 forment une colonne lorsqu’ils se trouvent dans leur position de stockage, au sein de la structure de stockage 8. Les organes de stockage 2 comprennent chacun un plateau amovible 20 comprenant lui-même un râtelier 21 permettant de recevoir une roue de vélo 17 et de maintenir ce dernier stable. La structure de stockage 8 est composée d’un bâti 18 comprenant quatre montants latéraux dont trois sont fixés aux murs 7 de l’espace urbain 3. Dans la variante de l’invention représentée à la figure 1 , la structure de stockage 8 permet le rangement d’organes de stockage 2 depuis le sol 6 jusqu’à l’extrémité supérieure de la structure de stockage 8. Alternativement, la structure de stockage 8 peut être dépourvue de compartiment d’accueil en partie basse, permettant ainsi de minimiser encore davantage l’espace au sol 6 nécessaire à l’implémentation du dispositif de rangement 1 (figure 6). Cet espace disponible peut, par exemple, permettre le stockage de conteneurs de déchets partagés. Enfin, la structure de stockage 8 comprend pour chaque compartiment d’accueil une paire de rails horizontaux 13 permettant le déplacement des organes de stockage 2 depuis et vers la plateforme 9. The device 1 of the invention comprises storage members 2 each forming an individualized and secure storage volume. These storage elements 2 have the shape of a box, the interior storage space of which is accessible via the opening of a door 4 sliding on telescopic vertical slides. In the variants shown in the figures, the door 4 materializes a front face of the storage member 2. For reasons of adaptation to the urban space 3 in which the device 1 is installed, the door 4 can quite be arranged laterally which also allows the storage of wider bicycles. For these same adaptation reasons, it is quite conceivable that the vertical displacement of said at least part of the storage member 2 takes place on the lateral side of the column of storage members 2 and not on the front side as shown in the figures. The storage elements 2 are each provided with rollers 11 facilitating their horizontal movement between the storage position and the high position and between the low position and the loading position (these movements taking place within the horizontal rails 10 of the platform 9 and the horizontal rails 13 of the storage structure 8 will be described more precisely later). Each storage member 2 comprises three lower crosspieces 16, distributed along the storage member 2. The storage members 2 form a column when they are in their storage position, within the storage structure 8. The storage elements 2 each comprise a removable tray 20 itself comprising a rack 21 making it possible to receive a bicycle wheel 17 and to keep the latter stable. The storage structure 8 is composed of a frame 18 comprising four side uprights, three of which are fixed to the walls 7 of the urban space 3. In the variant of the invention represented in FIG. 1, the storage structure 8 allows the storage of storage devices 2 from the ground 6 to the upper end of the storage structure 8. Alternatively, the storage structure 8 may have no reception compartment in the lower part, thus making it possible to further minimize the space on the ground 6 necessary for the implementation of the storage device 1 (FIG. 6). This available space can, for example, allow the storage of shared waste containers. Finally, the storage structure 8 comprises for each reception compartment a pair of horizontal rails 13 allowing the movement of the storage elements 2 from and to the platform 9.
L’élévateur vertical 5 du dispositif 1 comprend lui-aussi un bâti 14. Ce dernier peut comprendre deux montant latéraux dont un est fixé à l’un des murs 7 (figure 1 à 5e). Il peut alternativement comprendre plus de deux montant latéraux afin d’assurer une meilleure stabilité et répartition des efforts. Comme représenté à la figure 6, le bâti 14 peut, par exemple, comprendre six montants latéraux, deux de ces montants étant communs avec la structure de stockage 8 pour une meilleure répartition des efforts et une plus grande stabilité. L’élévateur vertical 5 comprend en outre une plateforme 9 montée mobile verticalement entre les montants latéraux du bâti 14. Le déplacement vertical de la plateforme 9 est engendré par un moteur électrique (non représenté) actionnant un système câble/poulies ou courroie (non représenté). Le moteur électrique est avantageusement du type sans balais (moteur brushless en terminologie anglo- saxonne), ce qui permet à l’unité de commande électronique de calculer la distance parcourue par la plateforme 9 et donc de positionner cette dernière à la bonne hauteur en fonction de la commande d’un utilisateur 22 spécifique. Ainsi le dispositif de rangement 1 ne nécessite pas la présence d’un capteur configuré pour détecter la présence de l’organe de stockage 2 associé à l’utilisateur 22 ayant réalisé la commande auprès de l’unité de commande électronique. Toutefois, en vue de compenser une éventuelle défaillance du moteur sans balais, le dispositif 1 peut comprendre un tel capteur. La plateforme 9 comprend un cadre 15 composé de quatre montants horizontaux qui permettent la fixation des rails horizontaux 10 et du système incluant le bras coulissant 12 et la glissière à crémaillère 19. Enfin, la plateforme 9 comprend avantageusement un système de roulement anti-basculement permettant son déplacement vertical le long des montants latéraux du bâti 14 tout en assurant l’équilibre et la stabilité de la plateforme 9 lors de ces déplacements. The vertical lift 5 of device 1 also includes a frame 14. The latter can include two side uprights, one of which is fixed to one of the walls 7 (Figures 1 to 5e). It can alternatively include more than two side uprights to ensure better stability and distribution of forces. As shown in Figure 6, the frame 14 may, for example, include six side uprights, two of these uprights being common with the storage structure 8 for better distribution of forces and greater stability. The vertical lift 5 further comprises a platform 9 mounted vertically movable between the side uprights of the frame 14. The vertical displacement of the platform 9 is generated by an electric motor (not shown) actuating a cable/pulley or belt system (not shown ). The electric motor is advantageously of the brushless type (brushless motor in Anglo-Saxon terminology), which allows the electronic control unit to calculate the distance traveled by the platform 9 and therefore to position the latter at the correct height according to of the order of a specific user 22 . Thus the storage device 1 does not require the presence of a sensor configured to detect the presence of the storage device 2 associated with the user 22 having placed the order with the electronic control unit. However, in order to compensate for a possible failure of the brushless motor, the device 1 can comprise such a sensor. The platform 9 comprises a frame 15 composed of four horizontal uprights which allow the fixing of the horizontal rails 10 and of the system including the sliding arm 12 and the rack slide 19. Finally, the platform 9 advantageously comprises an anti-tipping bearing system allowing its vertical movement along the side uprights of the frame 14 while ensuring the balance and stability of the platform 9 during these movements.
Les moyens de chargement comprennent un bras coulissant 12 et une glissière à crémaillère 19 le long de laquelle est déplacé le bras coulissant 12. Un tel déplacement est actionné par un moteur électrique (non représenté). Il peut s’agir du même moteur électrique sans balais que celui engendrant le déplacement vertical de la plateforme 9 ou d’un moteur distinct ce qui, dans ce second cas, permet de recourir à des moteurs de plus petites puissances, moins onéreux. The loading means comprise a sliding arm 12 and a rack slide 19 along which the sliding arm 12 is moved. Such movement is driven by an electric motor (not shown). It may be the same brushless electric motor as that causing the vertical movement of the platform 9 or a separate motor which, in this second case, makes it possible to use motors of lower power, less expensive.
Enfin, dans les variantes de l’invention représentées aux figures 1 à 6, le dispositif 1 est pourvu d’un sas de chargement/déchargement 23 comprenant une porte interdisant l’accès audit sas 23 lorsqu’elle est fermée. La présence d’un tel sas 23 est optionnelle et permet de sécuriser encore davantage l’environnement du dispositif 1 . Finally, in the variants of the invention represented in FIGS. 1 to 6, the device 1 is provided with a loading/unloading airlock 23 comprising a door preventing access to said airlock 23 when it is closed. The presence of such an airlock 23 is optional and makes it possible to further secure the environment of the device 1 .
Le dispositif 1 selon les variantes de l’invention représentées aux figures 1 à 6 fonctionne comme suit. The device 1 according to the variants of the invention shown in Figures 1 to 6 operates as follows.
Un utilisateur 22 souhaitant accéder à son organe de stockage 2 se signale à l’unité de commande électronique par tout moyen connu de l’homme du métier, par exemple en présentant un badge à une borne dédiée. L’unité de commande identifie l’organe de stockage 2 associé à l’utilisateur 22 et actionne un premier moteur de sorte que la plateforme 9 de l’élévateur vertical 5 se positionne dans la position haute située en regard de l’organe de stockage 2 concerné (figures 3a et 3b). A user 22 wishing to access his storage device 2 signals himself to the electronic control unit by any means known to those skilled in the art, for example by presenting a badge to a dedicated terminal. The control unit identifies the storage device 2 associated with the user 22 and actuates a first motor so that the platform 9 of the vertical lift 5 is positioned in the high position located opposite the storage device. 2 concerned (FIGS. 3a and 3b).
L’unité de commande actionne ensuite un second moteur pour induire un déplacement du bras coulissant 12 dont la portion d’ancrage 25 vient se positionner en regard et en dessous de la traverse inférieure 16 la plus proche. Le premier moteur est ensuite activé à nouveau afin d’élever légèrement la plateforme 9 engageant ainsi la portion d’ancrage 25 du bras coulissant 12 et la traverse inférieure 16. Les rails horizontaux 10 de la plateforme 9 et les rails horizontaux 13 de la structure de stockage se retrouvent également en regard les uns des autres. Le bras coulissant 12 est activé de nouveau, dans un déplacement opposé, ce qui permet de déplacer l’organe de stockage 2 de sa position de stockage à sa position haute (figure 2b). The control unit then actuates a second motor to induce a movement of the sliding arm 12, the anchoring portion 25 of which is positioned opposite and below the nearest lower crosspiece 16. The first motor is then activated again in order to slightly raise the platform 9 thus engaging the anchoring portion 25 of the sliding arm 12 and the lower crosspiece 16. The horizontal rails 10 of the platform 9 and the horizontal rails 13 of the structure storage are also facing each other. The sliding arm 12 is activated again, in an opposite movement, which makes it possible to move the storage member 2 from its storage position to its high position (FIG. 2b).
L’unité de commande actionne ensuite le premier moteur pour déplacer la plateforme 9 entre la position haute et la position basse, située au sol 6 (figure 4a). A ce stade, la porte du sas 23 se déverrouille, permettant ainsi à l’utilisateur 22 de l’ouvrir et de charger (ou décharger) son vélo 17 dans (ou de) son organe de stockage 2 attitré. Pour ce faire, la porte 4 de l’organe de stockage 2 est montée coulissante sur glissières horizontales télescopiques avec un débattement de 100%. La porte 4 est pourvue de barres latérales permettant à l’utilisateur 22 de la déplacer verticalement. The control unit then actuates the first motor to move the platform 9 between the high position and the low position, located on the ground 6 (FIG. 4a). At this stage, the airlock door 23 unlocks, thus allowing the user 22 to open it and load (or unload) his bicycle 17 into (or from) his designated storage unit 2. To do this, the door 4 of the storage unit 2 is slidably mounted on telescopic horizontal slides with a movement of 100%. The door 4 is provided with side bars allowing the user 22 to move it vertically.
Avantageusement, le déverrouillage de la porte du sas 23 autorise l’ouverture de la porte 4 de l’organe de stockage 2 par l’utilisateur qui. Autrement dit, les portes 4 des différents organes de stockage 2 ne peuvent pas être ouvertes si la porte du sas 23 n’est pas déverrouillée, ce qui évite toute ouverture indésirable de la part d’un tiers malintentionné qui contourne le verrouillage de la porte du sas 23 pour s’introduire dans ce dernier. Advantageously, the unlocking of the airlock door 23 allows the opening of the door 4 of the storage member 2 by the user who. In other words, the doors 4 of the various storage units 2 cannot be opened if the door of the airlock 23 is not unlocked, which avoids any undesirable opening on the part of a third party. malevolent person who circumvents the locking of the airlock door 23 to enter the latter.
Dans une version avantageuse représentée aux figures 4a à 5e, le dispositif 1 est configuré pour déplacer l’organe de stockage 2 entre sa position basse et une position de chargement dans laquelle l’organe de stockage 2 et son volume interne son accessibles pour l’utilisateur 22 sans que ce dernier ne doive pénétrer dans le sas 23 (figure 4b et 5e). Ainsi, cette version avantageuse du dispositif 1 permet d’éviter toute intrusion au sein du sas 23 ce qui diminue les risques de détérioration des composants du dispositif 1 et les risques de blessures de l’utilisateur 22. Aussi, lorsque l’organe de stockage 2 se trouve en position basse (figure 4a), il repose sur des supports 24. Ainsi, l’unité de commande actionne le premier moteur pour abaisser encore légèrement la plateforme 9 qui se déplace verticalement et relativement par rapport à l’organe de stockage 2. Ce déplacement relatif permet de désengager la portion d’ancrage 25 du bras coulissant 12 de la première traverse inférieure 16 (figure 5b). Le second moteur déploie ensuite le bras coulissant 12 de sorte que sa portion d’ancrage 25 se positionne en regard d’une seconde traverse inférieure 16 (figure 5c). Le premier moteur induit ensuite le déplacement vertical de la plateforme 9 afin que la portion d’ancrage 25 engage la seconde traverse inférieure 16 (figure 5d). Le second moteur engendre ensuite la rétractation du bras coulissant 12 induisant le déplacement horizontal de l’organe de stockage 2 de sa position basse vers sa position de chargement (figures 5e et 4b). In an advantageous version shown in Figures 4a to 5e, the device 1 is configured to move the storage member 2 between its low position and a loading position in which the storage member 2 and its internal volume are accessible for the user 22 without the latter having to enter the airlock 23 (Figure 4b and 5e). Thus, this advantageous version of the device 1 makes it possible to avoid any intrusion within the airlock 23 which reduces the risks of deterioration of the components of the device 1 and the risks of injury to the user 22. Also, when the storage member 2 is in the low position (FIG. 4a), it rests on supports 24. Thus, the control unit actuates the first motor to lower the platform 9 still slightly, which moves vertically and relatively with respect to the storage member 2. This relative movement makes it possible to disengage the anchoring portion 25 of the sliding arm 12 from the first lower crosspiece 16 (FIG. 5b). The second motor then deploys the sliding arm 12 so that its anchoring portion 25 is positioned opposite a second lower crosspiece 16 (FIG. 5c). The first motor then induces the vertical displacement of the platform 9 so that the anchoring portion 25 engages the second lower crosspiece 16 (FIG. 5d). The second motor then causes the sliding arm 12 to retract, causing the storage member 2 to move horizontally from its low position to its loading position (FIGS. 5e and 4b).
Enfin, l’utilisateur 22 ouvre la porte du sas 23, puis celle de l’organe de stockage 2. Il tire ensuite le plateau amovible 20, à l’aide d’une poigné disposée à cet effet. La plateforme amovible 20 dispose de roulettes avant et arrière, et est guidée sur glissières dans l’organe de stockage 2. Des butées empêchent la sortie complète du plateau amovible 20. A partir d’une certaine course, le plateau amovible 20 bascule pour venir en appui et rouler au sol 6 créant ainsi une rampe de chargement/déchargement. Le plateau amovible 20 est pourvu d’un râtelier 21 permettant de recevoir une roue de vélo 17 et de maintenir ce dernier stable. Finally, the user 22 opens the door of the airlock 23, then that of the storage device 2. He then pulls the removable tray 20, using a handle arranged for this purpose. The removable platform 20 has front and rear rollers, and is guided on slides in the storage member 2. Stops prevent the complete exit of the removable tray 20. From a certain stroke, the removable tray 20 tilts to come in support and rolling on the ground 6 thus creating a loading/unloading ramp. The removable tray 20 is provided with a rack 21 for receiving a bicycle wheel 17 and keeping the latter stable.
Dans une variante non représentée de l’invention, chaque organe de stockage comprend un organe d’alimentation électrique configuré pour alimenter un vélo électrique, lorsque l’organe de stockage est dans sa position de stockage. In a variant of the invention, not shown, each storage member comprises an electric power supply member configured to power an electric bicycle, when the storage member is in its storage position.
Dans une autre mode variante non représentée de l’invention, les organes de stockage et/ou l’élévateur vertical et/ou la structure de stockage comprend un support configuré pour favoriser la végétalisation de ces éléments. Ainsi, en plus de l’ensemble des avantages précités associés au dispositif selon l’invention, il est possible de créer un espace bucolique. Une telle végétalisation n’est pas envisageable en l’absence d’éléments structurels externes (tels que ceux du dispositif de l’invention) pour des raisons évidentes de sécurité, puisque la végétalisation des murs d’un tel espace urbain endommagerait, à moyen et long terme, la structure des murs. In another alternative mode of the invention, not shown, the storage elements and/or the vertical lift and/or the storage structure comprises a support configured to promote the revegetation of these elements. Thus, in addition to all of the aforementioned advantages associated with the device according to the invention, it is possible to create a bucolic space. Such revegetation is not possible in the absence external structural elements (such as those of the device of the invention) for obvious safety reasons, since the revegetation of the walls of such an urban space would damage, in the medium and long term, the structure of the walls.
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux variantes de réalisation présentées et d'autres modes variantes apparaîtront clairement à l'homme du métier. The invention is not limited to the variant embodiments presented and other variant modes will appear clearly to those skilled in the art.
Par exemple, le dispositif peut être utilisé avec un déplacement des organes de stockage vers le bas pour stocker un vélo, et vers le haut pour récupérer un vélo déjà stocké. On peut par exemple envisager la présence d’un sas en rez-de-chaussée d’un immeuble (déjà doté d’un parking souterrain), ou au niveau du palier le plus élevé d’un parking souterrain, avec des organes de stockage s’étendant en sous-sol, ce qui permet de ne pas avoir à descendre plusieurs niveaux pour garer son vélo. For example, the device can be used with a displacement of the storage members downwards to store a bicycle, and upwards to recover a bicycle already stored. One can for example consider the presence of an airlock on the ground floor of a building (already equipped with an underground car park), or at the level of the highest landing of an underground car park, with storage devices extending underground, which means you don't have to go down several levels to park your bike.
