Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de transport et de distribution de matériaux et/ou de matériel en périphérie d'un bâtiment.The present invention relates to a method and a device for transporting and distributing materials and / or equipment on the periphery of a building.

L'invention est applicable dans le domaine technique des activités de construction ou de rénovation de bâtiments ou d'ouvrages de génie civil.The invention is applicable in the technical field of construction or renovation activities of buildings or civil engineering works.

Elle vise un dispositif complémentaire à un matériel couramment utilisé par les professionnels du bâtiment: les échafaudages et passerelles de divers types employés pour les travaux en façades.It aims at a device complementary to a material commonly used by building professionals: scaffolding and walkways of various types used for work on facades.

La distribution de matériel et/ou de matériaux divers en périphérie des bâtiments, afin de réaliser des travaux en façades, s'effectue soit à l'aide de grues, soit au moyen d'engins élévateurs mobiles, a partir du sol, soit encore manuellement sur la passerelle de travail ou le plancher de l'échafaudage.The distribution of equipment and / or miscellaneous materials around the periphery of the buildings, in order to carry out work on the facades, is carried out either using cranes, or by means of mobile lifting machines, from the ground, or even manually on the working gangway or the scaffolding floor.

Les grues permettent d'accéder en tout point de la façade, mais le prix de revient de leur mise en oeuvre pour l'exécution de travaux en façade est très élevé. En outre, l'absence de visibilité du grutier sur les façades opposées à la grue est une source sérieuse de danger. En raison de ces inconvénients, les grues ne sont guère utilisées pour la réalisation de travaux en façade.The cranes allow access to any point of the facade, but the cost price of their implementation for the execution of works on the facade is very high. In addition, the crane operator's lack of visibility on the façades opposite the crane is a serious source of danger. Because of these drawbacks, cranes are hardly used for carrying out facade work.

Les engins élévateurs mobiles ont une hauteur de travail limitée et ne permettent une bonne distribution des matériaux et matériel que si la circulation desdits engins sur tout le pourtour des bâtiments est possible, ce qui, dans la pratique, est rarement le cas.Mobile lifting devices have a limited working height and allow good distribution of materials and equipment only if the circulation of said devices around the entire periphery of the buildings is possible, which, in practice, is rarely the case.

Enfin, le déplacement manuel sur les passerelles de travail est pénible et coûteux. On peut réduire la fatigue résultant d'un tel travail, par l'emploi de chariots se déplaçant sur le plancher de la passerelle, car ces matériels roulants sont peu coûteux et faciles à déplacer. Toutefois, cette méthode est peu ou pas employée, en raison du fait que l'encombrement des chariots gène la circulation sur les passerelles et le travail. En effet, pour que les chariots soient stables, il est indispensable que le centre de gravité des charges soit bas. Les colis sont donc nécessairement bas et plus larges que hauts.Finally, manual movement on the work bridges is tedious and expensive. Fatigue resulting from such work can be reduced by using carts moving on the gangway floor, because these rolling stock are inexpensive and easy to move. However, this method is little or not used, due to the fact that the clutter of the carts hinders the movement on the gangways and work. Indeed, for the carriages to be stable, it is essential that the center of gravity of the loads is low. Packages are therefore necessarily low and wider than high.

Enfin, le document FR-A-760.884 montre un crochet coulissant accroché à la main courante du garde-corps d'un échafaudage et servant à accrocher divers articles, momentanément hors d'usage tels que sceaux, auges, etc, de manière à libérer ainsi le plancher dudit échafaudage de choses encombrantes.Finally, the document FR-A-760.884 shows a sliding hook attached to the handrail of the railing of a scaffolding and used to hang various articles, temporarily out of use such as seals, troughs, etc., so as to release thus the floor of said bulky things scaffolding.

Si l'opérateur peut utiliser ce crochet coulissant pour déplacer des charges, seulement sur une courte distance délimitée par deux montants successifs du garde-corps que ledit crochet ne peut franchir, la vocation de ce dernier n'est pas d'être déplace pour constituer un moyen de transport de matériaux et/ou de matériel en périphérie d'un bâtiment. En effet, outre le fait que ce crochet ne peut glisser que sur une courte distance délimitée par deux montants successifs de garde-corps, comme indiqué ci-dessus, ledit crochet peut pivoter autour de la main courante, tandis que le sceau suspendu à celui-ci peut se balancer dans tous les sens. On conçoit donc qu'un tel système ne permet pas de transmettre, au garde-corps, au moins les efforts résultants équivalents à la composante horizontale du diagramme des forces du dispositif, ni d'assurer le guidage et la stabilité de ce dernier.If the operator can use this sliding hook to move loads, only over a short distance delimited by two successive uprights of the railing that said hook cannot cross, the vocation of the latter is not to be moved to constitute a means of transporting materials and / or equipment on the outskirts of a building. Indeed, in addition to the fact that this hook can only slide over a short distance delimited by two successive amounts of railing, as indicated above, said hook can pivot around the handrail, while the seal suspended from that - it can swing in all directions. It is therefore understandable that such a system does not make it possible to transmit, to the railing, at least the resulting forces equivalent to the horizontal component of the force diagram of the device, nor to ensure the guiding and the stability of the latter.

L'invention a notamment pour but de remédier à ces différents inconvénients.The object of the invention is in particular to remedy these various drawbacks.

Selon le procédé et le dispositif de l'invention, on asservit au moins un chariot au garde-corps de la passerelle, en créant entre eux une liaison solide et coulissante ou roulante. Le chariot est ainsi toujours tenu et guidé, dans ses déplacements, par le garde-corps. L'asservissement est réalisé par au moins une pièce de roulement ou glissement solidaire du chariot et en prise sur au moins un élément longitudinal du garde-corps, de préférence sur l'élément longitudinal le plus haut dudit garde-corps. En outre, la liaison chariot-garde-corps permet de transmettre audit garde-corps au moins les efforts horizontaux du diagramme des forces du dispositif.According to the method and the device of the invention, at least one carriage is slaved to the railing of the footbridge, creating between them a solid and sliding or rolling connection. The carriage is thus always held and guided, in its movements, by the railing. The servo-control is produced by at least one rolling part or sliding secured to the carriage and engaged on at least one longitudinal element of the railing, preferably on the highest longitudinal element of said railing. In addition, the carriage-railing link makes it possible to transmit to said railing at least the horizontal forces of the force diagram of the device.

Selon un mode d'exécution, le châssis du chariot chevauche le garde-corps et ladite ossature est équipée d'au moins une roue transmettant le poids dudit chariot et de sa charge à au moins un élément longitudinal de l'ossature du garde-corps.According to one embodiment, the chassis of the carriage overlaps the railing and said framework is equipped with at least one wheel transmitting the weight of said carriage and its load to at least one longitudinal element of the framework of the railing .

Suivant un autre mode d'exécution, le poids du chariot et de sa charge sont transmis à l'ossature du plancher de la passer, elle ou de l'échafaudage, par roulement ou glissement de la partie inférieure du chariot sur ledit plancher. Dans ce cas, le corps du chariot peut indifféremment être à l'extérieur ou à l'intérieur du garde-corps, ou "à cheval" sur ce dernier.According to another embodiment, the weight of the carriage and its load are transmitted to the floor frame of the pass, it or the scaffolding, by rolling or sliding the lower part of the carriage on said floor. In this case, the body of the trolley can either be outside or inside the railing, or "straddling" the latter.

Dans tous les cas, le chariot trouve, dans le dispositif, tout ou partie de la stabilité nécessaire au libre positionnement de la charge qu'il transporte. Sans surcoût, l'emploi du chariot guidé par le garde-corps autorise donc le transport des fardeaux au-dessus de celui-ci, ou à l'extérieur, sans gêner la circulation et le travail sur le plancher. Il permet aussi, grâce au guidage obtenu, le déplacement manuel facile des charges, par simple poussée. On conçoit, en outre, que les mouvements du chariot peuvent être facilement motorisés.In all cases, the carriage finds, in the device, all or part of the stability necessary for the free positioning of the load it carries. Without additional cost, the use of the trolley guided by the guardrail therefore allows the transport of burdens above it, or outside, without hampering traffic and work on the floor. It also allows, thanks to the guidance obtained, easy manual movement of loads, by simple push. It is also understood that the movements of the carriage can be easily motorized.

L'installation du dispositif de l'invention sur un échafaudage autogrimpant crée un système de distribution qui, par les déplacements coordonnés du chariot et de la passerelle, couvre la totalité de la façade du bâtiment. Les mouvements de l'échafaudage autogrimpant peuvent également être motorisés.The installation of the device of the invention on a self-climbing scaffold creates a system of distribution which, by the coordinated movements of the trolley and the gangway, covers the entire facade of the building. The movements of the self-climbing scaffolding can also be motorized.

Selon le type de transport à effectuer, le chariot peut être équipé d'un conteneur ayant une conformation appropriée aux charges qu'il est appelé à transporter, ce conteneur pouvant être muni d'un dispositif de déchargement par basculement ou autre dont les mouvements ou l'action peuvent être motorisés.Depending on the type of transport to be carried out, the trolley can be equipped with a container having a shape suitable for the loads which it is called upon to transport, this container being able to be provided with a device for unloading by tilting or the like whose movements or the action can be motorized.

Selon un premier développement avantageux du dispositif de l'invention, le chariot mobile est équipé d'un appareil de levage, par exemple un treuil à câble, pour hisser les charges depuis le sol et les amener sur ledit chariot; cette action pouvant être motorisée.According to a first advantageous development of the device of the invention, the mobile carriage is equipped with a lifting device, for example a cable winch, for hoisting the loads from the ground and bringing them onto said carriage; this action can be motorized.

En complétant le dispositif décrit ci-dessus par l'adjonction d'un appareil de levage, en motorisant chaque appareil et en automatisant tous les mouvements de manière coordonnée, on obtient une installation globale d'approvisionnement automatique permettant, d'une part, de prendre les fardeaux en tout point du sol, en périphérie du bâtiment, pour les hisser et les déposer en tout point de la façade du bâtiment.By supplementing the device described above by the addition of a lifting device, by motorizing each device and by automating all movements in a coordinated manner, one obtains a global installation of automatic supply making it possible, on the one hand, to take the burdens at any point on the ground, on the periphery of the building, to hoist them and deposit them at any point on the facade of the building.

Selon un autre développement avantageux du dispositif de l'invention, le chariot peut être équipé d'au moins un appareil apte à réaliser des travaux sur les façades des bâtiments, ou à proximité desdites façades, dans le cas de bâtiments en cours de construction ou de rénovation. Le déplacement et le pilotage automatiques du chariot peuvent être mis en oeuvre pour constituer un complément indispensable à l'automatisme complet de certaines machines, par exemple de machines destinées à effectuer: la projection de peintures ou d'enduits, le surfaçage, la pose de plaques, etc.According to another advantageous development of the device of the invention, the trolley can be equipped with at least one device capable of carrying out work on the facades of buildings, or close to said facades, in the case of buildings under construction or renovation. The automatic movement and control of the carriage can be implemented to constitute an essential complement to the complete automation of certain machines, for example of machines intended to perform: the spraying of paints or coatings, surfacing, the laying of plates, etc.

On se réfère auxdits dessins pour décrire des exemples avantageux, bien que nullement limitatifs, de mise en oeuvre du procédé et de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention.Reference is made to said drawings to describe advantageous examples, although in no way limiting, of implementation of the method and production of the device according to the invention.

Ce procédé est principalement remarquable par le fait que l'on asservit au moins un chariot 1 au garde-corps 3 de la passerelle de travail ou de circulation 4, en créant, entre eux, une liaison solide et coulissante ou roulante.This process is mainly remarkable by the fact that at least one carriage 1 is slaved to the railing 3 of the working or traffic gangway 4, creating, between them, a solid and sliding or rolling connection.

La figure 1 montre un premier exemple de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention qui, dans ce cas, comporte un chariot 1 dont la partie inférieure est munie d'une ou plusieurs roues 5b prenant appui sur un chemin de roulement et de guidage longitudinal 4a rigidement solidaire des éléments d'armature 4b de la passerelle 4 constitués par des consoles se fixant contre la façade du bâtiment, ledit chemin de roulement 4a étant disposé sur le côté extérieur desdits éléments, au-dessous du garde-corps 3 de ladite passerelle.Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the device according to the invention which, in this case, comprises a carriage 1 whose lower part is provided with one or more wheels 5b bearing on a raceway and longitudinal guide 4a rigidly secured to the frame elements 4b of the gangway 4 constituted by brackets fixing against the facade of the building, said raceway 4a being disposed on the outside of said elements, below the railing 3 of said gangway.

Dans sa partie supérieure, le chariot 1 est pourvu d'un coulisseau 5a enserrant la lisse supérieure 3a du garde-corps et monté avec une aptitude de glissement le long de cette dernière.In its upper part, the carriage 1 is provided with a slide 5a enclosing the upper rail 3a of the railing and mounted with a sliding capacity along the latter.

A son sommet, le chariot 1 porte un conteneur 6 qui, dans ce cas, est constitué par une simple benne.At its top, the carriage 1 carries a container 6 which, in this case, consists of a simple bucket.

La roue 5b, ou l'une des roues 5b lorsque le chariot est muni de plusieurs roues, est accouplée à un moteur 13 permettant son entraînement en rotation et la motorisation des mouvements dudit chariot, le long du garde-corps.The wheel 5b, or one of the wheels 5b when the carriage is provided with several wheels, is coupled to a motor 13 allowing it to be driven in rotation and the motorization of the movements of said carriage, along the railing.

Selon ce mode d'exécution, les efforts verticaux du chariot et de sa charge sont transmis par la ou les roues 5b aux éléments 4a, 4b de l'armature de la passerelle 4, les profiles longitudinaux constituant la face extérieure de la passerelle ayant une forme adaptée permettant l'introduction et le déplacement de roues 5b.According to this embodiment, the vertical forces of the carriage and of its load are transmitted by the wheel or wheels 5b to the elements 4a, 4b of the frame of the bridge 4, the longitudinal profiles constituting the external face of the bridge having a adapted shape allowing the introduction and movement of wheels 5b.

Suivant le mode d'exécution représenté à la figure 2, la base du chariot 1 est équipée d'une ou plusieurs roues 5b prenant appui sur le plancher 4c de la passerelle 4, lequel peut comporter une bande de roulement et de guidage 4d disposée à proximité et le long du garde-corps 3.According to the embodiment shown in Figure 2, the base of the carriage 1 is equipped with one or more wheels 5b bearing on the floor 4c of the bridge 4, which may include a tread and guide 4d disposed at near and along the railing 3.

Selon l'exemple illustré, le chariot 1 comporte également, dans sa partie supérieure, un coulisseau 5a monté avec une aptitude de coulissement sur la lisse supérieure 3a du garde-corps.According to the example illustrated, the carriage 1 comprises also, in its upper part, a slide 5a mounted with a sliding ability on the upper rail 3a of the railing.

Selon ce mode d'exécution, le chariot 1 porte un appareil 11 permettant de projeter un produit sur la façade 10 du bâtiment; ledit chariot pouvant toutefois être équipé d'un ou plusieurs appareils ou machines permettant d'effectuer différents travaux totalement ou partiellement mécanisés sur les façades des bâtiments.According to this embodiment, the carriage 1 carries an apparatus 11 for projecting a product on the facade 10 of the building; said cart can however be equipped with one or more devices or machines allowing various fully or partially mechanized works to be carried out on the facades of buildings.

Suivant l'exemple de réalisation illustré à la figure 3, le chariot 1 comporte une ossature ou châssis 2 en forme de U lequel est placé "à cheval" sur la lisse supérieure 3a du garde-corps 3 de la passerelle 4 installée devant la façade 10 du bâtiment.According to the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, the carriage 1 comprises a frame or frame 2 in the shape of a U which is placed "astride" on the upper rail 3a of the railing 3 of the gangway 4 installed in front of the facade 10 of the building.

Dans sa partie supérieure, le châssis 2 est équipé d'une ou plusieurs paires de roues ou galets 5b inclinées à 45 degrés pour tangenter le tube de section carrée qui, selon ce mode d'exécution, constitue la lisse supérieure 3a du garde-corps 3. De cette façon, les roues 5b transmettent au garde-corps le poids du chariot 1 et de sa charge et également une partie des efforts horizontaux nécessaires à la stabilité. Dans sa partie inférieure, le châssis du chariot est muni d'un coulisseau constitué par des roues ou galets 5a à axe vertical, roulant sur les faces verticales opposées du tube de section carrée constituant la lisse inférieure 3b du garde-corps, de manière à lui transmettre la partie restante des efforts horizontaux du dispositif.In its upper part, the chassis 2 is equipped with one or more pairs of wheels or rollers 5b inclined at 45 degrees to tangent the tube of square section which, according to this embodiment, constitutes the upper rail 3a of the railing 3. In this way, the wheels 5b transmit to the railing the weight of the carriage 1 and its load and also part of the horizontal forces necessary for stability. In its lower part, the chassis of the carriage is provided with a slide constituted by wheels or rollers 5a with a vertical axis, rolling on the opposite vertical faces of the tube of square section constituting the lower rail 3b of the railing, so as to transmit the remaining part of the horizontal forces of the device to it.

Selon cet exemple, le chariot 1 porte un conteneur 6 équipé d'un dispositif de basculement 12 connu en soi, permettant le renversement aisé de la charge transportée par ledit conteneur.According to this example, the carriage 1 carries a container 6 equipped with a tilting device 12 known per se, allowing easy reversal of the load transported by said container.

Selon le mode de mise en oeuvre représenté à la figure 4, la passerelle 4 est constituée par la passerelle d'un échafaudage autogrimpant 7 suspendue ou supportée par un dispositif de levage 7b aux mâts 7a dressés et tenus à la partie inférieure de la construction 10.According to the embodiment shown in Figure 4, the bridge 4 is constituted by the bridge of a self-climbing scaffolding 7 suspended or supported by a lifting device 7b to the masts 7a erected and held at the bottom of the structure 10.

Le chariot 1 est du genre de celui qui est illustré à la figure 3 et chevauche le garde-corps. Il est équipé d'un treuil motorisé 8 dont le câble 8a est muni, à son extrémité, d'un dispositif 9 de préhension automatique de charges qui, suivant l'exemple illustré, se présentent sous forme de plaques 14.The carriage 1 is of the kind which is illustrated in FIG. 3 and overlaps the railing. It is equipped with a motorized winch 8, the cable 8a of which is provided at its end with a device 9 for automatically gripping loads which, according to the example illustrated, are in the form of plates 14.

On comprend que la mobilité du chariot 1 permet de prendre des charges dans un emplacement de stockage qui est organisé et réparti en périphérie du bâtiment et de les déposer en tout point de la passerelle ceinturant le bâtiment.It is understood that the mobility of the carriage 1 makes it possible to take charges in a storage location which is organized and distributed around the periphery of the building and to deposit them at any point on the gangway surrounding the building.
