It is more particularly intended to provide an installation making it possible to transport, position and introduce into an oven, steel products such as in particular slabs, blooms or billets, either at high temperature (of the order of 800 ° C), or at room temperature.
On connaît par ailleurs un brevet US N° 4 505 630 qui décrit une installation de palettisation de produits à mouvements de translation croisés qui comprend :
- des moyens permettant d'assurer la préhension, la manutention et le transport des produits, ces moyens étant animés d'un mouvement de translation le long d'une voie de roulement et ;
- un chariot de transfert sur lequel viennent se positionner lesdits moyens portant un produit, ces moyens étant constitués par un châssis portant deux doigts, permet de soulever un produit de format unique, ledit chariot de transfert pouvant se déplacer le long d'une voie de roulement selon un mouvement de translation perpendiculaire au mouvement de translation desdits moyens afin d'amener ledit produit en tout emplacement voulu.
- means for gripping, handling and transporting the products, these means being driven in a translational movement along a rolling track and;
- a transfer carriage on which are positioned said means carrying a product, these means being constituted by a frame carrying two fingers, makes it possible to lift a product of single format, said transfer carriage being able to move along a rolling track in a perpendicular translational movement to the translational movement of said means in order to bring said product to any desired location.
Compte tenu de cet état antérieur de la technique, la présente invention s'est fixé pour objectif une installation de manutention de produits sidérurgiques divers, tels que notamment brames, blooms, billettes et similaires, à mouvements de translation croisés, comprenant :
- un premier chariot de transfert pouvant se déplacer le long d'une voie de roulement afin d'amener le produit en tout emplacement voulu,
- un deuxième chariot, positionné sur le premier chariot, mobile en translation le long d'une voie de roulement selon une direction perpendiculaire par rapport audit premier chariot,
- des moyens portés par le deuxième chariot, permettant d'assurer le soulèvement de produits sidérurgiques,
les moyens de préhension, de transport, et de manutention comporte une poutre principale sur laquelle sont montés plus de deux doigts de préhension, pivotant sur un axe commun et conçus de façon à saisir et soulever le produit, la poutre étant solidaire par ses extrémités de deux chariots latéraux qui se déplacent sur ladite voie de roulement.In view of this prior state of the art, the present invention has set itself the objective of an installation for handling various steel products, such as in particular slabs, blooms, billets and the like, with crossed translational movements, comprising:
- a first transfer carriage which can move along a track in order to bring the product to any desired location,
- a second carriage, positioned on the first carriage, movable in translation along a rolling track in a direction perpendicular to said first carriage,
- means carried by the second carriage, enabling the lifting of steel products,
the gripping, transport and handling means comprises a main beam on which are mounted more than two gripping fingers, pivoting on a common axis and designed so as to grip and lift the product, the beam being secured by its ends of two lateral carriages which move on said track.
Comme on le comprend, les produits sidérurgiques à manipuler sont prélevés par les moyens de préhension et de transport, par exemple dans une zone de stockage. Ils sont ensuite transportés par ces moyens sur le chariot de transfert qui, portant les moyens de préhension et de transport, les amène par translation à tout emplacement voulu, par exemple devant un four de réchauffage où ils sont introduits par lesdits moyens de préhension et de transport.As will be understood, the steel products to be handled are taken up by the gripping and transport means, for example in a storage area. They are then transported by these means on the transfer carriage which, carrying the gripping and transport means, brings them by translation to any desired location, for example in front a reheating oven where they are introduced by said gripping and transport means.
Selon un exemple de réalisation de l'invention, les moyens de préhension, de manutention et de transport des produits sidérurgiques comportent essentiellement : une poutre principale sur laquelle sont montés des doigts pivotant sur un axe commun et conçus de façon à saisir et soulever le produit et deux chariots latéraux reliés par ladite poutre principale et se déplaçant sur ladite voie de roulement, sous l'effet d'un mécanisme d'entraînement constitué par exemple par un système pignon-crémaillère entraînant les roues ou galets moteurs desdits chariots et mû par des groupes moto-réducteurs électriques ou hydrauliques.According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the means for gripping, handling and transporting steel products essentially comprise: a main beam on which are mounted fingers pivoting on a common axis and designed so as to grip and lift the product and two lateral carriages connected by said main beam and moving on said track, under the effect of a drive mechanism constituted for example by a rack and pinion system driving the wheels or drive rollers of said carriages and driven by electric or hydraulic geared motors.
Selon un mode de réalisation de cette invention, le chariot de transfert est constitué d'un châssis roulant sur des rails par l'intermédiaire de roues ou de galets, commandés par des groupes moto-réducteurs électriques ou hydrauliques, ce chariot de transfert étant pourvu sur sa surface supérieure d'une section de voie de roulement, dans le prolongement de la voie de roulement des moyens de préhension et de transport des produits, de manière que les moyens portant les produits viennent s'y poser comme par roulement sur ladite section pour être ensuite acheminés par ledit chariot de transfert le long de la voie de roulement de ce dernier, perpendiculaire à la voie de roulement desdits moyens de préhension et de transport.According to one embodiment of this invention, the transfer carriage consists of a chassis rolling on rails by means of wheels or rollers, controlled by electric or hydraulic geared motor groups, this transfer carriage being provided on its upper surface of a track section, in the extension of the track of the means for gripping and transporting the products, so that the means carrying the products come to rest there as by rolling on said section to then be routed by said transfer carriage along the track of the latter, perpendicular to the track of said gripping and transport means.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de cette invention ressortiront de la description faite ci-après en référence aux dessins annexés qui en illustrent un exemple de réalisation dépourvu de tout caractère limitatif. Sur les dessins :
