Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de réserver une place de stationnement.The present invention relates to a device for reserving a parking space.

Certaines personnes ont droit à des places de stationnement réservées pour leur véhicule, à proximité d'édifices publics, sur des parkings municipaux, ou dans tout autre lieu, en raison, par exemple d'un handicap physique qu'elles présentent.Some people are entitled to reserved parking spaces for their vehicle, near public buildings, in municipal car parks, or in any other place, for example due to a physical handicap they present.

Or, il est trop souvent constaté que, malgré la signalisation propre à ces emplacements, des personnes peu scrupuleuses les occupent indûment. Il est connu d'interdire l'accès de places de stationnement par des barrières escamotables actionnées par un mécanisme utilisant de l'énergie électrique et commandées par une clé ou une carte magnétique. Ces dispositifs présentent l'inconvénient d'utiliser l'énergie électrique du secteur, ce qui les rend onéreux car, lors de leur mise en place, il faut réaliser une alimentation électrique, ce qui implique des travaux importants. Ces dispositifs ne peuvent pour cette raison être employés en zone urbaine pour ne protéger qu'une place réservée.However, it is too often found that, despite the signage specific to these locations, unscrupulous people occupy them unduly. It is known to prohibit access to parking spaces by retractable barriers actuated by a mechanism using electrical energy and controlled by a key or a magnetic card. These devices have the drawback of using electrical energy from the sector, which makes them expensive since, when they are installed, an electrical supply must be produced, which involves major work. These devices cannot therefore be used in urban areas to protect only a reserved space.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un dispositif pouvant fonctionner sans raccordement fixe à une source d'énergie, n'engageant que de faibles budjets d'installation et de maintenance, ne nécessitant pour sa commande aucun effort de la part de l'utilisateur (qui peut être une personne handicapée) ne le gênant pas dans ses déplacements, et pouvant fonctionner en tout emplacement de façon autonome.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device which can operate without a fixed connection to an energy source, involving only low installation and maintenance budgets, requiring no effort from the control to control it. part of the user (who can be a disabled person) not hindering him in his movements, and being able to function in any location independently.

A cette fin, ce dispositif, du type comportant une barrière escamotable interdisant temporairement l'accès du véhicule à une place de stationnement, manoeuvrée dans le sens de l'ouverture et dans le sens de la fermeture par un mécanisme d'actionnement, et commandé par une clé de commande, est caractérisé en ce que le mécanisme d'actionnement comprend d'une part un organe de manoeuvre de la barrière commandé par une clé reliée à la batterie du véhicule et apte à assurer l'alimentation en énergie électrique de cet organe de manoeuvre, et un organe de rappel de la barrière s'opposant à l'action de l'organe de manoeuvre, et, d'autre part, un moyen de verrouillage de la barrière, la commande du déverrouillage se faisant grâce à un organe actionné électriquement par l'intermédiaire de la clé, et la commande du verrouillage se faisant par l'intermédiaire d'un organe actionné par un élément utilisant le poids du véhicule, des moyens étant prévus pour ralentir la descente de la barrière en fin de service et stopper le mouvement de pivotement de la barrière en fin de course haute et basse.To this end, this device, of the type comprising a retractable barrier temporarily preventing vehicle access to a parking space, operated in the opening direction and in the closing direction by an actuating mechanism, and controlled by a control key, is characterized in that the actuation mechanism comprises on the one hand a barrier operating member controlled by a key connected to the vehicle battery and capable of ensuring the supply of electrical energy to this operating member, and a barrier return member opposing the action of the operating member, and, on the other hand, a barrier locking means, the unlocking control being effected by a member actuated electrically by means of the key, and the locking control being effected by means of a member actuated by an element using the weight of the vehicle, means being provided for slow the descent of the barrier at the end of service and stop the pivoting movement of the barrier at the top and bottom end of travel.

Ainsi, ce dispositif n'utilise pas d'autres énergies que celles propres au véhicule, que ce soit l'énergie électrique de la batterie, ou l'énergie mécanique due au poids du véhicule, de sorte qu'il est peu onéreux à installer et à entretenir, et peut être utilisé en zone urbaine ou en tout autre lieu pour protéger une place réservée. L'emploi d'une clé de contact spécifique nécessaire au fonctionnement du dispositif permet d'en limiter l'usage aux seuls ayants-droit.Thus, this device does not use other energies than those specific to the vehicle, whether it is the electrical energy of the battery, or the mechanical energy due to the weight of the vehicle, so that it is inexpensive to install. and to maintain, and can be used in urban areas or any other place to protect a reserved space. The use of a specific ignition key necessary for the operation of the device makes it possible to limit its use only to beneficiaries.

Avantageusement, l'organe de manoeuvre actionnant la barrière dans le sens de l'ouverture est constitué par un moteur électrique relié à un arbre formant axe de pivotement de la barrière par l'intermédiaire d'un pignon, et d'un disque reliés par une chaîne, l'organe de rappel actionnant la barrière vers la position fermée, pouvant être constitué par un ressort ou un contrepoids.Advantageously, the operating member actuating the barrier in the opening direction is constituted by an electric motor connected to a shaft forming the pivot axis of the barrier by means of a pinion, and of a disc connected by a chain, the return member actuating the barrier towards the closed position, which may be constituted by a spring or a counterweight.

Par ailleurs, le moyen de verrouillage est constitué par un frein à friction et par un loquet agissant sur l'arbre solidaire de la barrière, de manière alternative.Furthermore, the locking means is constituted by a friction brake and by a latch acting on the shaft integral with the barrier, in an alternative manner.

La barrière peut ainsi être immobilisée en position ouverte ou fermée.The barrier can thus be immobilized in the open or closed position.

La commande du verrouillage et du déverrouillage s'effectue en ce qui concerne le verrouillage par un vérin actionnant en rotation une tige agissant sur le frein et sur le loquet, et en ce qui concerne le déverrouillage, par un électro-aimant actionnant la même tige en sens opposé au sens d'actionnement du vérin.The locking and unlocking is controlled as regards locking by a jack actuating in rotation a rod acting on the brake and on the latch, and as regards unlocking, by an electromagnet actuating the same rod opposite to the actuation direction of the cylinder.

Le vérin est un vérin pneumatique raccordé par des tuyaux souples et étanches à un coussin placé sur le sol dans la zone de roulement, sur la place de stationnement, d'au moins deux des roues du véhicule, situées du même côté, ce coussin étant constitué par une plaque indéformable en appui sur les tuyaux, et montée sur un support lui permettant d'effectuer un mouvement vers le bas.The jack is a pneumatic jack connected by flexible and leaktight hoses to a cushion placed on the ground in the rolling area, in the parking space, of at least two of the vehicle wheels, located on the same side, this cushion being consisting of a non-deformable plate resting on the pipes, and mounted on a support allowing it to perform a downward movement.

Avantageusement, le dispositif peut être muni d'un réducteur-démulti­plicateur du mouvement du moteur de manoeuvre de la barrière, un pignon du réducteur-démultiplicateur agissant sur l'arbre de la barrière n'étant opérationnel que dans un sens, et monté libre dans l'autre.Advantageously, the device can be provided with a reduction-reduction gear of the movement of the motor for operating the barrier, a pinion of the reduction gear acting on the shaft of the barrier being operational only in one direction, and mounted freely in the other.

Ainsi, le mouvement de la barrière se fait selon une vitesse adéquate. Le pignon monté libre permet à la barrière d'opérer le mouvement inverse sous l'effet de l'organe de rappel, sans que le moteur, alors arrêté, ne soit entraîné.Thus, the movement of the barrier takes place at an adequate speed. The free-mounted pinion allows the barrier to operate the movement reverse under the effect of the return member, without the engine, then stopped, being driven.

Le dispositif peut en outre comporter un ralentisseur hydraulique agissant sur l'arbre solidaire de la barrière, contrôlant la vitesse de la barrière quand elle est actionnée, vers la position de fermeture, par l'organe de rappel.The device may also include a hydraulic retarder acting on the shaft integral with the barrier, controlling the speed of the barrier when it is actuated, towards the closed position, by the return member.

Ceci est utile pour éviter certains dommages qui pourraient être occasionnés à un véhicule quittant un emplacement par un mouvement brutal de la barrière. Par le réducteur-démultiplicateur et par le ralentisseur hydraulique, le mouvement de la barrière est contrôlé dans le sens de l'ouverture et dans le sens de la fermeture.This is useful to avoid certain damage that could be caused to a vehicle leaving a location by a sudden movement of the barrier. By the reduction gearbox and by the hydraulic retarder, the movement of the barrier is controlled in the opening direction and in the closing direction.

Avantageusement, la clé de commande est reliée à une prise se branchant sur l'allume-cigare du véhicule.Advantageously, the control key is connected to a socket that plugs into the cigarette lighter of the vehicle.

L'énergie de la batterie est ainsi amenée aux organes électriques du dispositif de manière simple et pratique.The energy from the battery is thus brought to the electrical organs of the device in a simple and practical manner.

En position d'attente, la barrière se trouve verrouillée en position fermée par le loquet. Lorsqu'un véhicule se présente pour accéder à la place de stationnement, l'une de ses roues s'engage sur la plaque, ce qui provoque le mouvement vers le bas de celle-ci du fait du poids du véhicule. La plaque écrase ainsi les tuyaux souples et étanches sur lesquels elle repose. Le déplacement d'air en résultant actionne le vérin pneumatique qui verrouille le frein et déverrouille le loquet, assurant le maintien de la barrière en position fermée.In the standby position, the barrier is locked in the closed position by the latch. When a vehicle presents itself to access the parking space, one of its wheels engages on the plate, which causes the downward movement of the latter due to the weight of the vehicle. The plate thus crushes the flexible and watertight pipes on which it rests. The resulting displacement of air actuates the pneumatic cylinder which locks the brake and unlocks the latch, ensuring that the barrier remains in the closed position.

Lorsque l'utilisateur engage sa clé de commande dans la serrure prévue à cet effet, la batterie du véhicule, par l'intermédiaire de la clé, réalise d'une part l'alimentation de l'électro-aimant qui assure le déverrouillage de la barrière, et d'autre part, l'alimentation du moteur électrique l'entraînant jusqu'à sa position d'ouverture. Lorsque la barrière arrive en position haute, le moteur électrique n'est plus alimenté grâce à un interrupteur de fin de course, la clé de commande est retirée de la serrure, et l'électro-aimant n'est également plus alimenté. De ce fait, le vérin pneumatique actionne le frein de l'arbre de la barrière pour assurer le maintien de celle-ci en position haute. Lorsque le véhicule quitte l'emplacement de stationnement, le vérin pneumatique n'étant plus actionné à partir du coussin par le poids du véhicule, il libère le frein et permet le basculement de la barrière vers sa position de fermeture, sous l'action du ressort de rappel. En fin de course basse, le loquet assure le verrouillage de la barrière. Un utilisateur peut donc quitter un emplacement de stationnement sans avoir à exercer une quelconque commande de fermeture de la barrière après son départ.When the user engages his control key in the lock provided for this purpose, the vehicle battery, by means of the key, on the one hand supplies the electromagnet which ensures the unlocking of the barrier, and secondly, the supply of the electric motor driving it to its open position. When the barrier reaches the high position, the electric motor is no longer supplied with power by a limit switch, the control key is removed from the lock, and the electromagnet is also no longer supplied. As a result, the pneumatic cylinder actuates the brake on the barrier shaft to maintain the barrier in the high position. When the vehicle leaves the parking space, the pneumatic cylinder no longer being actuated from the cushion by the weight of the vehicle, it releases the brake and allows the barrier to tilt towards its closed position, under the action of the spring. At the bottom end of the stroke, the latch locks the the barrier. A user can therefore leave a parking space without having to exercise any command to close the barrier after his departure.

De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise par la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation de ce dispositif :

La figure 1 représente une place de stationnement équipée du dispositif selon l'invention. Celui-ci se compose d'une barrière 1, d'un boîtier 2 abritant le mécanisme d'actionnement de la barrière 1, et d'un coussin 3 placé sur le sol dans la zone de roulement d'au moins deux des roues du véhicule situées du même côté. La barrière 1 est située à une hauteur permettant de laisser passer le capot d'un véhicule sous elle, mais pas le toit de celui-ci. Le coussin 3 se prolonge au-delà de la barrière 1 en direction de l'entrée de la place de stationnement. Le boîtier 2 est positionné de manière à être accessible par le conducteur sans qu'il ait à descendre de son véhicule. Lorsque le véhicule se présente en face de la place de stationnement, son conducteur avance jusqu'à pouvoir atteindre du bras le boîtier 2, engageant ainsi le capot de la voiture sous la barrière 1, et l'une des roues sur le coussin 3. Pour commander l'ouverture du dispositif, le conducteur engage dans une serrure 32, une clé de commande 36 qu'il tient à la main, cette clé 36 étant reliée par un cordon conducteur électrique 37 à la batterie du véhicule par l'intermédiaire d'une prise 38 branchée sur l'allume-cigare.Figure 1 shows a parking space equipped with the device according to the invention. This consists of a barrier 1, a housing 2 housing the actuating mechanism of the barrier 1, and a cushion 3 placed on the ground in the rolling area of at least two of the wheels of the vehicles located on the same side. The barrier 1 is located at a height allowing the hood of a vehicle to pass beneath it, but not the roof thereof. The cushion 3 extends beyond the barrier 1 in the direction of the entrance to the parking space. The housing 2 is positioned so as to be accessible by the driver without having to get out of his vehicle. When the vehicle is in front of the parking space, its driver advances until he can reach the housing 2 with his arm, thus engaging the hood of the car under the barrier 1, and one of the wheels on the cushion 3. To control the opening of the device, the driver engages in a lock 32, a control key 36 which he holds in his hand, this key 36 being connected by an electric conductive cord 37 to the vehicle battery via '' a socket 38 connected to the cigarette lighter.

Les figures 2,4,5 et 6 représentent, vu sous différents angles le mécanisme d'actionnement de la barrière 1, contenu dans le boîtier 2.Figures 2,4,5 and 6 show, seen from different angles, the actuation mechanism of the barrier 1, contained in the housing 2.

Ce mécanisme comprend un moteur électrique d'entraînement 4 dont le pignon 5 est relié par une chaîne 6 au pignon 7 d'un réducteur-démultiplicateur 8. Le réducteur-démultiplicateur 8 comporte un autre pignon 9 relié par une chaîne 10 à un disque 11 solidaire de l'arbre 12 formant axe de pivotement de la barrière 1. Le pignon 9 n'est opérationnel que dans le sens du levage de la barrière, et tourne librement dans l'autre sens. Un ressort 13 de rappel est relié à un disque 14 solidaire de l'arbre 12. Par ailleurs, un ralentisseur hydraulique 15 comportant un pignon 16 est relié par une chaîne 17 à un disque 18 solidaire de l'arbre 12. D'autre part, le mécanisme d'actionnement comprend une tige pivotante 19 sur laquelle agissent un vérin pneumatique 20, un électro-aimant 21 et un ressort de rappel 22. Le vérin pneumatique 20 est équipé d'une purge 23 et d'un contrôleur de pression 24, et est alimenté en air par deux tuyaux 25.

This consists of a plate 34 bearing on the pipes 25, and mounted on a support 35 allowing it to perform a downward movement.

La figure 7 représente la clé de commande 36 reliée par un cordon contacteur électrique 37 à une prise d'allume-cigare 38.FIG. 7 represents the control key 36 connected by an electric contactor cord 37 to a cigarette lighter socket 38.

Le dispositif fonctionne comme décrit ci-après : en position d'attente, la barrière 1 est verrouillée en position fermée par le loquet 27 qui agit sur la butée d'arrêt 29. Lorsqu'un véhicule se présente pour rentrer dans la place de stationnement, l'une de ses roues s'engage sur le coussin 3, ce qui opère un déplacement vertical de la plaque 34 vers le bas. Celle-ci écrase les tuyaux 25, provoquant un déplacement d'air actionnant le vérin 20, qui agit sur la tige 19 de manière à lui faire faire une rotation provoquant le serrage du frein 26. La clé 36, reliée à la batterie du véhicule, est introduite dans la serrure 32. Le contact ainsi établi actionne l'électro-aimant 21 qui exerce sur la tige 19 une action provoquant une rotation dans le sens opposé à celle exercée par le vérin 20, ce qui desserre le frein 26, lève le loquet 27 et actionne le contacteur 33 par l'intermédiaire de la patte 28. Le contact ainsi établi met en fonctionnement le moteur 4 qui, par l'intermédiaire du réducteur-démultiplicateur 8, et grâce aux pignons 5,7 et 9 et aux chaînes 6 et 10, agit sur le disque 11 et provoque l'ouverture de la barrière 1. En position haute, la butée 30 vient au contact de l'interrupteur 31 qui coupe l'alimentation en courant. Le mouvement de la barrière 1 est stoppé et l'électro-aimant 21, relâché. Dès lors, le frein 26 est resserré, ce qui immobilise la barrière 1. Après avoir retiré la clé 36 de la serrure 32, le véhicule peut être garé et abandonné à sa place. En se levant, la barrière 1 a actionné le ralentisseur hydraulique 15, par l'intermédiaire du disque 18 de la chaîne 17 et du pignon 16, ainsi que le ressort 13 par l'intermédiaire du disque 14. Mais le dispositif reste bloqué par l'action du frein 26 tant que le véhicule exercera une pression sur la plaque 34 du coussin 3. Lorsque le véhicule quitte la place, le vérin 20 cesse d'exercer son action. Le ressort 22 agit sur la tige 19 de manière à desserrer le frein 26. La barrière 1, sous l'action du ressort 13 redescend à l'horizontale, freinée par le ralentisseur hydraulique 15, et reprend sa place initiale jusqu'à enclenchement du loquet 27 qui l'immobilise.The device operates as described below: in the standby position, the barrier 1 is locked in the closed position by the latch 27 which acts on the stopper 29. When a vehicle presents itself to enter the parking space , one of its wheels engages on the cushion 3, which operates a vertical displacement of the plate 34 downwards. This crushes the pipes 25, causing a displacement of air actuating the jack 20, which acts on the rod 19 so as to make it rotate causing the brake 26 to be applied. The key 36, connected to the vehicle battery , is introduced into the lock 32. The contact thus established activates the electromagnet 21 which exerts on the rod 19 an action causing a rotation in the opposite direction to that exerted by the jack 20, which releases the brake 26, lifts the latch 27 and actuates the contactor 33 by means of the tab 28. The contact thus established activates the motor 4 which, via the reduction-reduction gear 8, and thanks to the sprockets 5,7 and 9 and the chains 6 and 10, acts on the disc 11 and causes the opening of the barrier 1. In the high position, the stop 30 comes into contact with the switch 31 which cuts the power supply. The movement of the barrier 1 is stopped and the electromagnet 21 is released. Therefore, the brake 26 is applied, which immobilizes the barrier 1. After removing the key 36 from the lock 32, the vehicle can be parked and abandoned in its place. When rising, the barrier 1 actuated the hydraulic retarder 15, via the disc 18 of the chain 17 and the sprocket 16, as well as the spring 13 via the disc 14. But the device remains blocked by the action of the brake 26 as long as the vehicle exerts pressure on the plate 34 of the cushion 3. When the vehicle leaves the place, the jack 20 ceases to exercise its action. The spring 22 acts on the rod 19 so as to release the brake 26. The barrier 1, under the action of the spring 13 descends horizontally, braked by the hydraulic retarder 15, and returns to its initial position until the latch 27 which immobilizes it.
