Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un convertisseur de palette de manutention.The present invention relates to a handling pallet converter.
On sait qu'une palette est constituée par un plateau conçu pour être saisi par la fourche d'un élévateur et sur lequel reposent des marchandises généralement enfermées dans des caisses en carton.We know that a pallet is made up of a tray designed to be grasped by the fork of an elevator and on which rest goods generally enclosed in cardboard boxes.
Pour permettre de placer plusieurs palettes chargées les unes au-dessus des autres sans risquer d'écraser les marchandises, on utilise une armature dénommée "convertisseur de palette " constituée par quatre montants réunis à leur partie supérieure et prenant appui sur les angles de la palette inférieure.To allow several loaded pallets to be placed one on top of the other without the risk of crushing the goods, a frame called "pallet converter" is used consisting of four uprights joined at their upper part and bearing on the angles of the pallet lower.
De cette façon, la palette supérieure ne repose pas directement sur la charge des palettes sous-jacentes.In this way, the upper pallet does not rest directly on the load of the underlying pallets.
Actuellement, pour livrer des marchandises celles-ci sont posées sur des palettes qui sont ensuite superposées puis chargées dans un camion.Currently, to deliver goods, these are placed on pallets which are then stacked and loaded into a truck.
Comme durant le transport l'ensemble est soumis à des vibrations, il est nécessaire d'utiliser un convertisseur pour éviter que la palette supérieure n'écrase les boites en carton placées sur celles inférieures.As during transport the whole is subjected to vibrations, it is necessary to use a converter to prevent the upper pallet from crushing the cardboard boxes placed on the lower ones.
Lors de chaque livraison, le livreur récupère aussitôt les convertisseurs et la mise en place et le retrait de ceux-ci doivent être aussi rapides que possible.During each delivery, the delivery person immediately collects the converters and the installation and removal of these must be as fast as possible.
Le problème posé consiste donc à réaliser un convertisseur remplissant simultanément les conditions ci-dessous :
- -la mise en place du convertisseur doit pouvoir être effectuée sans l'aide d'outils, après le chargement de la palette ;
- -le retrait du convertisseur doit pouvoir être effectué même si la palette supérieure repose encore sur celle inférieure.
- -the installation of the converter must be possible without tools, after loading the pallet;
- - it must be possible to remove the converter even if the upper pallet still rests on the lower one.
Bien qu'il existe des convertisseurs remplissant la première condition ci-dessus, aucun de ceux-ci ne peut être démonté si la palette supérieure n'est pas préalablement ôtée.Although there are converters fulfilling the first condition above, none of these can be dismantled if the upper pallet is not removed beforehand.
Il s'agit d'un grave inconvénient lorsque ces convertisseurs sont utilisés pour effectuer des livraisons par camion.This is a serious drawback when these converters are used to make deliveries by truck.
En effet, comme les camions permettent en général de superposer deux palettes, il est intéressant de décharqer ces deux palettes en une seule opération lors de la livraison,puis d'ôter le convertisseur en laissant la palette supérieure reposer ge de celle inférieure, ce qui est parfaitement possible car les boites en carton peuvent supporter des efforts statiques relativement importants.Indeed, as trucks generally allow two pallets to be stacked, it is advantageous to unload these two pallets in a single operation during delivery, then remove the converter by letting the upper pallet rest ge of the lower one, which is perfectly possible because the cardboard boxes can withstand relatively large static forces.
En l'état actuel de la technique, si on utilise un convertisseur il faut, lors de la livraison, retirer la palette supérieure pour permettre la récupération du convertisseur,d'où une manoeuvre supplémentaire qui augmente le temps total nécessaire à la livraison et, par suite, le coût de celle-ci.In the current state of the art, if a converter is used, it is necessary, during delivery, to remove the upper pallet to allow recovery of the converter, hence an additional operation which increases the total time necessary for delivery and, therefore, the cost thereof.
La présente invention qui remédie à ces inconvénients est remarquable en ce que le convertisseur est formé de deux parties identiques et indépendantes constituées chacune de deux montants, réunis entre eux, chaque montant présentant à sa partie supérieure une patte en équerre susceptible de venir prendre appui sous la traverse supérieure de la palette supérieure, la distance séparant le bord d'appui de ladite patte et l'extrémité inférieure dudit montant étant légèrement supérieure à celle séparant ladite traverse supérieure et le sol.The present invention which overcomes these drawbacks is remarkable in that the converter is formed from two identical and independent parts each consisting of two uprights, joined together, each upright having at its upper part a square tab capable of coming to bear under the upper cross member of the upper pallet, the distance separating the support edge of said tab and the lower end of said upright being slightly greater than that separating said upper cross member and the ground.
L'invention sera mieux comparise par la description qui va suivre faite en se référant aux dessins annexés à titre d'exemple indicatif seulement, sur lesquels :
- La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une palette devant être utilisée avec le convertisseur de l'invention ;
- La figure 2 est une vue en perspective montrant un mode de réalisation de l'une des parties du convertisseur de l'invention;
- Les figures 3,4 et 5 sont des vues à plus petite échelle montrant la mise en place du convertisseur ;
- Les figures 6 et 7 sont des vues partielles montrant à plus grande échelle des détails peu apparents sur les figures 4 et 5.
- La figure 8 est une vue en perspective de l'une des deux parties du convertisseur, montrant un autre mode de réalisation;
- La figure 9 est une vue partielle, en élévation, montrant la mise en place du convertisseur de la figure 8 ;
- La figure 10 est une vue analogue à la figure 9 montrant le convertisseur durant le déplacement de la charge à l'aide d'un palettiseur usuel ;
- La figure 11 est une vue analogue à la figure 9 montrant la position relative des palettes et du convertisseur durant le transport ou le stockage.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pallet to be used with the converter of the invention;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of one of the parts of the converter of the invention;
- Figures 3,4 and 5 are views on a smaller scale showing the installation of the converter;
- FIGS. 6 and 7 are partial views showing, on a larger scale, details which are not very apparent in FIGS.
- FIG. 8 is a perspective view of one of the two parts of the converter, showing another embodiment;
- Figure 9 is a partial view, in elevation, showing the installation of the converter of Figure 8;
- Figure 10 is a view similar to Figure 9 showing the converter during the movement of the load using a conventional palletizer;
- Figure 11 is a view similar to Figure 9 showing the relative position of the vanes and the converter during transport or storage.
En se reportant aux dessins, on voit que la figure 1 montre une palette usuelle comportant trois traverses inférieures 1 sur lesquelles sont fixés des plots 2, réunis à leur partie supérieure par des traverses 3 s'étendant orthogonalement à celles 1 et supportant le plancher de la palette formé par les lattes 4.Referring to the drawings, it can be seen that FIG. 1 shows a usual pallet comprising three
Le convertisseur de l'invention est formé de deux parties identiques et indépendantes dont l'une est représentée sur la figure 2.The converter of the invention consists of two identical and independent parts, one of which is shown in FIG. 2.
Dans sa forme la plus simple, chaque partie est constituée par deux montants 5 identiques réunis par une traverse 6 et un croisillon 7, l'ensemble réalisant un cadre 8 indéformable.In its simplest form, each part is made up of two
Chaque montant présente à sa partie supérieure une patte 9 en équerre.Each upright has at its upper part a
Si on se reporte à la figure 3; qui montre deux palettes chargées de boîtes C, en carton par exemple, on voit que le problème consiste à ce que la charge constituée par la palette supérieure ne risque pas, durant le transport de l'ensemble dans un camion, d'endommager par écrasement les marchandises reposant sur la palette inférieure.If we refer to Figure 3; which shows two pallets loaded with boxes C, in cardboard for example, we see that the problem is that the load formed by the upper pallet does not risk, during the transport of the assembly in a truck, from damage by crushing goods resting on the lower pallet.
Ce résultat est obtenu en utilisant deux cadres 8, précédemment décrits, qui sont disposés de part et d'autre de la palette inférieure de façon à ce que les pattes 9 prennent appui sous les traverses latérales 3 de la palette supérieure.This result is obtained by using two
Selon une caractéristique importante de l'invention, la distance séparant le bord d'appui 9a des pattes 9 et les extrémités inférieures 5a des montants 5 est légèrement supérieure à la distance séparant la face inférieure 3a des traverses 3 et le sol.According to an important characteristic of the invention, the distance separating the
De cette façon, et comme montré sur les figures 4 et 6, lorsque les pattes 9 prennent appui sous les traverses 3,les montants 5 sont inclinés.In this way, and as shown in Figures 4 and 6, when the
Pour achever la mise en place du convertisseur, il suffit d'exercer une légère poussée à la base des deux cadres 8 (flèche F, figure 6).To complete the installation of the converter, it suffices to exert a slight push at the base of the two frames 8 (arrow F, FIG. 6).
A l'issue de cette action, la palette supérieure ne repose plus sur la charge de la palette inférieure mais prend appui sur le sol ou sur le plancher du camion par l'entremise des montants 5 ( figures 5 et 7).At the end of this action, the upper pallet no longer rests on the load of the lower pallet but rests on the ground or on the floor of the truck through the uprights 5 (Figures 5 and 7).
Il résulte des explications ci-dessus que la mise en place et le retrait du convertisseur de l'invention peuvent être effectués lorsque deux palettes chargées sont superposées.It follows from the above explanations that the installation and removal of the converter of the invention can be carried out when two loaded pallets are superimposed.
Le cas échéant, pour améliorer la fixation des cadres 8, ceux-ci présentent à leur partie inférieure des pattes 10 analogues à celles 9, qui peuvent se coincer sous la traverse supérieure 3 de la palette inférieure.If necessary, to improve the fixing of the
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention,chaque cadre 8 présente à sa partie supérieure des pattes 11 dont la longueur est inférieure à celles 9 et qui peuvent prendre appui entre les lattes 4 sur les traverses latérales supérieures 3 de la palette supérieure.According to another characteristic of the invention, each
Ces pattes 11 permettent, notamment,d'accrocher les cadres 8 préalablement à l'introduction de l'ensemble dans le camion. La poussée latérale pour effectuer la mise en place finale du cadre pouvant alors être effectuée lors du chargement des palettes adjacentes.These
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, chaque montant 5 présente vers sa partie supérieure une patte en équerre 12 dont la longueur est légèrement supérieure à la largeur de la traverse 3.According to another embodiment, each upright 5 has towards its upper part a
A l'extrémité de la patte 12 est prévue une dent 13, s'étendan vers le haut.A
Pour mettre chaque cadre 8 en place, on soulève légèrement la charge à l'aide d'un palettiseur usuel schématisé par l'une des branches B de sa fourche puis on place le cadre comme indiqué sur la figure 9 et on achève sa mise en place par une légère poussée à sa base ( flèche Fl de la figure 9). Cette action a pour résultat de placer l'équerre 12 sous la traverse 3 et la dent 13 devant le chant 3d de ladite traverse.To put each
Lorsqu'on veut déplacer la charge, les petites pattes 11 prennent appui sur la traverse 3 et les dents 13 prennent appui contre son chant 3d en s'opposant, ainsi, au pivotement vers l'extérieur du cadre 8 et à sa chute durant ce déplacement (figure 10).When the load is to be moved, the
Lorsqu'on abaisse la charge les extrémités inférieures des montants 5 prennent appui sur le sol et les traverses supérieures 3 prennent appui sur les pattes 12, la palette supérieure ne reposant plus sur la charge de la palette inférieure (figure 11).When the load is lowered, the lower ends of the
Dans cette position, qui correspond notamment à celle de transport de la charge par camion, on a remarqué que les dents 13 augmentaient de façon notable la stabilité de l'ensemble.In this position, which corresponds in particular to that of transporting the load by truck, it has been noted that the
Pour ôter les cadres 8 il suffit, après avoir soulevé légèrement la charge ( comme montré sur la figure 10), de déplacer le cadre 8 vers le haut et de le faire pivoter en sens inverse de la flèche F1.To remove the
Pour améliorer le maintien des cadres 8 et la stabilité de l'ensemble, il est prévu à la partie inférieure 5a des montants 5 des pattes 14, munies de dents 15, analogues à celles 12, qui s'insèrent sous les traverses 3 de la palette inférieure.To improve the maintenance of the
