Definitions
- the invention relates to the public works sector and more specifically to the construction and equipment of traffic lanes, such as roads or motorways. More particularly, the invention relates to a new type of crash barriers installed on the edges of such tracks. It also relates to a method and a machine for installing these slides.
- these slides are mounted on vertical supports and simultaneously secured to each other by means of members passing through holes drilled opposite one slide to the other. More specifically, the installation of such slides is carried out in the following manner.
- the slides are unloaded and aligned on the ground up to their final location.
- a vehicle for positioning the supports also called a bell, traverses the alignment and, at each overlapping zone, beats a post.
- two operators lift the slide to be installed and mount it on the support.
- the next operation consists in joining the newly installed slide to the previous one, using nut / bolt pairs. It is then necessary to make an altimetry adjustment then to tighten the bolts definitively. It goes without saying that all these operations are particularly painful and require a large workforce.
- the positioning of such slides is done completely manually and empirically which increases the risk of error and execution time.
- the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks.
- the problem which the invention proposes to solve is to improve and facilitate on the one hand the assembly of slides between them and, on the other hand, their installation and their fixing on the corresponding supports, having for objective of reducing the implementation time and obtaining high precision in terms of installation.
- the invention relates in a known manner, a safety barrier intended to be mounted between two support elements fixed on the shoulders of a road, comprising at each of its ends an overlapping zone allowing on the one hand, the joining with the slides adjacent by means of members passing through holes drilled opposite one slide to the other, and on the other hand, the connection with the support elements by means of members passing through orifices provided opposite for this purpose in each slide .
- each slide is characterized in that one of the overlapping zones comprises at least one lug oriented along the longitudinal axis of the slide in the direction of the middle thereof. , and that the other area comprises on the generator receiving the lug, a light intended to receive the lug of the adjacent slide.
- the slides have engaging parts ensuring positive attachment of one slide on the other.
- the pins are punctured parts obtained by cutting the sheet of the slide. In this way, it is not necessary to add additional material.
- the pins advantageously have a fold along their axis of symmetry, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the slide. This arrangement improves the rigidity and the resistance of the pins, while reducing their width and therefore facilitating their introduction into the complementary holes.
- each zone has four pins, arranged in a rectangle on the concave contour.
- the diameters of the holes, facing one slide to another are different, to allow the connection by tapered bolts.
- the use of such self-tapping bolts reduces the number of parts to be used and the execution time.
- the slides are pre-secured before being put in place at the supports. This allows an automation of the implantation of the supports and the installation of the train of pre slides
- the invention also relates to a machine for implementing the method described above.
- the means for orienting the train of slides consist of a set of rollers located at the front of the machine, according to the direction of advance thereof.
- the first and second detection means are combined and constituted by
- an optical beam emitter located on the chassis of the machine, and emitting its beam in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the machine, and at a height corresponding to the height of attachment of the slides
- An optical detector arranged on a prologation of the machine on the other side of the planned location of the slide and capable of receiving the optical beam through orifices of the slide train and of the support.
- the train of slides passes in front of a light ray emitted by a device provided for this purpose on the chassis.
- a detector which orders the chassis to stop at the precise place where the support must be fixed.
- the support reaches a certain depth, the light which it presents to receive the connecting member with the slide allows the light ray to pass, which gives the order to stop the threshing member.
- the means for threshing the support are constituted by a hammer movable along a vertical axis, the head of which has a shape enveloping the upper end of a support, associated with a lower stirrup for guiding and positioning the lower end of the same support.
- FIG. 1 is a summary perspective view of a slide of two slides according to the invention, before mounting on supports;
- FIGS. 2 and 3 are front views of the two overlapping areas of a slide
- - Figure 4 is a sectional view of the overlapping area of two slides at the joining members between the slides;
- - Figure 5 is a top view of a lug;
- FIG. 6 is a top view in longitudinal section, at the hooking zone of a lug, of two assembled slides;
- FIG. 7 is a schematic top view showing the establishment of the slides according to the invention
- FIG. 8 to 10 east are schematic side views of a machine for installing slides, at various stages of the installation of a support.
- a slide (1) consists of a piece of metal profile mounted between two supports (2) fixed in the ground ( Figure 1). In the form shown without limitation, this profile consists of two convex lateral portions (1.c, 1.d) connected by a concave central portion (1.e). At the outside of the convex portions (1.c, 1.d) of one end (La), the slide (1) has a plurality of holes (3) arranged on the same generator (G1) ( Figure 2 ).
- lugs (6) are located in the concave portion (1.e) of the slide ( Figure 2). These pins (6) are obtained by cutting the sheet metal of the slide and by deformation of the cut tabs inwards. These tabs (6) have a longitudinal axis (A) parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) of the slide, and are oriented towards the middle (M) of the slide. In addition, and therefore on the same generators, the opposite end of the slide has holes (7) superimposed on the pins (6).
- each lug (6) is slightly bent along its longitudinal axis (A) to improve its resistance and reduce its width, and thus facilitate its introduction into the complementary hole (7). In this way, as illustrated in Figure 6, the attachment of the lug (7) is made safer.
- the central part of the concave part (1.e) is pierced with an orifice (8) intended to receive the member for securing with the support (2).
- this orifice (8) is slightly oblong to allow a position to be taken up during the positioning of the slide (1) on the support (2).
- the invention also relates to a method of setting up such slides.
- the presence of pins facilitates the installation thereof.
- the method according to the invention consists in depositing along the roadway, a succession of slides (1,1 ′, 1 ", ). It is important to deposit these Ci by engaging the pins (6) of the current slide (1) in the complementary holes (7) of the previous slide (V), already deposited, in this way, a train of pre-secured slides is created.
- Such a method can be implemented using a machine (10) characteristic of the invention.
- This chassis (10.a) receives in its front part and laterally, a set of rollers (10.b) forcing the passage of the slide train from a horizontal or flat orientation to a vertical orientation.
- this machine comprises a threshing device (10.c) arranged in an offset fashion on one side of the chassis (10.a).
- This threshing device mainly consists of a hammer (or hammer) (10.C.1) mounted on a vertical axis (10.C.2).
- the part of the hammer (10.C.1) intended to come into contact with the support (2) is enveloping, that is to say that it covers the upper end of the support and thus allows vertical support of the support, by avoiding, that this one does not rock.
- the lower part of the threshing unit includes a guide bracket (10.d) intended to hold the lower end of the support (2) at the start of threshing.
- This stirrup (10.d) can take the approximate form of a horseshoe open towards the rear of the direction of movement of the chassis.
- the frame (10.a) comprises elements (10. e) for optical guidance allowing the mounting of the supports at optimal positions and heights.
- these guide elements are constituted by a light box (10.e.1) emitting a focused optical beam (F).
- the direction of this beam (F) is perpendicular to the plane formed by the different supports (2) already beaten.
- the height of the latter is very exactly that at which the securing point (8) of the slide and the support (2) must be located.
- the optical unit (10.e.1) is associated with a reflector (10.e.2) disposed on an extension arm of the chassis (10.a.1), on the other side of the final location of the slide (1).
- a support (2) is then introduced into the stirrup (10.d) and the threshing device (10.c) is then actuated.
- the insertion of the support (2) causes the attachment light (2.a) to descend (FIG. 9).
- the slides according to the invention greatly facilitates the installation of the slides by avoiding strenuous tasks, by limiting the labor required and by automating previously completely manual handling operations. Furthermore, the use of automatic means improves the positioning precision and eliminates any adjustment subsequent to the installation proper.
