Description

Groupe électrogène à butoirs à double fonction  Generator with dual function bumpers
1. Domaine technique de l'invention 1. Technical field of the invention
Le domaine de l'invention est celui des groupes électrogènes, et plus précisément des groupes électrogènes mobiles, ou transportables, destinés notamment à des mises en œuvres ponctuelles ou temporaires, sur tout type de site et de terrain.  The field of the invention is that of the generators, and more specifically mobile generators, or transportable, intended in particular for punctual or temporary implementations, on any type of site and terrain.
2. Arrière-plan technologique  2. Technological background
De tels groupes électrogènes sont connus, et fabriqués et distribués notamment par le demandeur. Cependant, du fait des nombreuses contraintes auxquelles de tels groupes électrogènes peuvent être soumis, il est nécessaire d'en améliorer de nombreux aspects. En particulier, il existe un besoin de groupes électrogènes qui soient à la fois résistants, maniables et, bien sûr, performants. Such generating sets are known, and manufactured and distributed in particular by the applicant. However, because of the many constraints to which such generators can be subjected, it is necessary to improve many aspects. In particular, there is a need for generators that are both resistant, manageable and, of course, efficient.
En effet, ces groupes électrogènes peuvent être soumis à des manipulations, des chocs ou autres accidents nombreux, lors de leur manipulation, leur transport ou leur stockage.  Indeed, these generators can be subjected to manipulation, shock or other numerous accidents, during handling, transport or storage.
Pour limiter l'effets des chocs, il est connu de placer des butoirs, par exemple en matière plastique ou en caoutchouc, sur le châssis, ou socle, du groupe électrogène. Toutefois, ceci est souvent insuffisant.  To limit the effects of shocks, it is known to place bumpers, for example plastic or rubber, on the frame, or base, of the generator. However, this is often insufficient.
En particulier, ceci ne protège pas de tous les chocs dus à la manipulation, notamment avec un chariot élévateur. Pour assurer ces manipulations, le châssis est généralement équipé d'ouvertures, formant passages de fourche. L'opérateur doit donc introduire les fourches du chariot élévateur dans ces passages, pour déplacer le groupe électrogène.  In particular, this does not protect against all shocks due to handling, especially with a forklift. To ensure these manipulations, the frame is generally equipped with openings, forming fork passages. The operator must therefore introduce the forks of the forklift in these passages, to move the generator.
Souvent, les fourches viennent heurter le bord des passages, lors de l'introduction de celles-là. Ces chocs répétés peuvent conduire à une déformation des passages de fourche, ou à tout le moins à une détérioration du revêtement (généralement de la peinture) du socle, ce qui entraîne des risques de corrosion, d'autant plus que un tel groupe électrogène est souvent utilisé en extérieur.  Often, the forks come knocking the edge of the passages, when introducing them. These repeated shocks can lead to a deformation of the fork passages, or at least to a deterioration of the coating (usually paint) of the base, which entails the risk of corrosion, especially as such a generator is often used outdoors.
3. Objectifs de l'invention L'invention a notamment pour objectif de pallier ces inconvénients de l'état de l'art. 3. Objectives of the invention The invention particularly aims to overcome these disadvantages of the state of the art.
Plus précisément, l'invention a notamment pour objectif de fournir une technique permettant d'améliorer la protection générale d'un groupe électrogène, et notamment de son châssis.  More specifically, the invention aims to provide a technique for improving the overall protection of a generator, including its chassis.
Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir une technique, permettant d'empêcher, ou à tout le moins de limiter, les détériorations des passages de fourche, et notamment l'apparition de corrosion à ce niveau.  Another object of the invention is to provide a technique which makes it possible to prevent, or at least to limit, the deteriorations of the fork passages, and in particular the appearance of corrosion at this level.
L'invention a également pour objectif de fournir une telle technique, qui soit peu coûteuse, simple à mettre en œuvre et, le cas échéant, à entretenir.  The invention also aims to provide such a technique, which is inexpensive, simple to implement and, where appropriate, to maintain.
4. Exposé de l'invention  4. Presentation of the invention
Ces objectifs, ainsi que d'autres qui apparaîtront plus clairement par la suite, sont atteints l'invention à l'aide d'un groupe électrogène comprenant un châssis sur lequel sont montés notamment un moteur et un alternateur, protégés par un capot, ledit châssis présentant au moins deux ouvertures pour le passage de fourches d'un chariot élévateur. These objectives, as well as others which will appear more clearly later, are achieved by the invention using a generator comprising a frame on which are mounted including a motor and an alternator, protected by a cover, said chassis having at least two openings for the passage of forks of a forklift.
Selon l'invention, le groupe électrogène comprend des éléments de protection montés autour desdites ouvertures, assurant chacun une double protection :  According to the invention, the generator set comprises protection elements mounted around said openings, each providing double protection:
- d'une part de la surface extérieure dudit châssis, contre les chocs dus notamment à la manutention, au transport et/ou au stockage, en étant débordant par rapport à la surface dudit châssis au voisinage dudit butoir ; et - On the one hand the outer surface of said frame, against shocks due in particular to handling, transport and / or storage, being overflowing with respect to the surface of said frame in the vicinity of said stopper; and
d' autre part des bords de ladite ouverture, contre les chocs dus à l'introduction d'une desdites fourches, en entourant lesdits bords.  on the other hand edges of said opening, against shocks due to the introduction of one of said forks, surrounding said edges.
Ainsi, les éléments de protection, ou butoirs, assurent non seulement une protection habituelle contre les chocs divers, mais également, sans ajout de moyens supplémentaires, une protection spécifiques des passages de fourche, habituellement soumis rapidement à la corrosion, du fait des chocs et frottements répétés des fourches, lors des manipulations. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, lesdits éléments de protection sont réalisés à base de caoutchouc. Thus, the protection elements, or bumpers, not only provide a usual protection against various shocks, but also, without adding additional means, a specific protection fork passages, usually subject to rapid corrosion, due to shocks and repeated friction of the forks during handling. According to a particular embodiment, said protective elements are made of rubber.
Notamment, lesdits éléments de protection peuvent être formés par moulage de caoutchouc sur une plaque de renfort métallique.  In particular, said protection elements may be formed by molding rubber on a metal reinforcing plate.
D'autres matériaux, par exemple des plastiques adaptés, peuvent être utilisés. De même, d'autres modes de fabrication peut être mis en œuvre.  Other materials, for example suitable plastics, can be used. Likewise, other methods of manufacture can be implemented.
Selon un aspect particulier, lesdits éléments de protection sont solidarisés par vissage audit châssis.  According to a particular aspect, said protection elements are secured by screwing to said frame.
Ce mode de fixation permet notamment un remplacement simple et rapide d'un élément de protection, en cas de détérioration de ce dernier. Cependant, d'autres types de fixation sont utilisables.  This method of attachment allows in particular a simple and fast replacement of a protective element, in case of deterioration of the latter. However, other types of attachment are usable.
Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, ledit châssis est débordant par rapport audit capot. Ceci permet d'améliorer la protection de ce capot contre les chocs.  According to another aspect of the invention, said chassis is overflowing with respect to said hood. This improves the protection of this hood against shocks.
Ledit châssis peut par ailleurs être équipé de barres de traction s 'étendant horizontalement le long des bords latéraux dudit châssis. Ceci permet de déplacer aisément le groupe, par traction.  Said frame may also be equipped with drawbars extending horizontally along the side edges of said frame. This makes it easy to move the group by pulling.
Pour faciliter la traction, notamment sur terrain accidenté, on peut également prévoir que les bords longitudinaux dudit châssis présentent des extrémités biseautées.  To facilitate traction, especially on rough terrain, it is also possible that the longitudinal edges of said frame have beveled ends.
Selon encore un autre aspect, ledit châssis peut porter au moins une marche, facilitant l'accès à la partie supérieure dudit groupe électrogène. D'autres marches peuvent également être prévues sur le capot.  In yet another aspect, said frame can carry at least one step, facilitating access to the upper portion of said generator. Other steps can also be provided on the hood.
Ceci permet notamment l'accès à un anneau de levage.  This allows in particular access to a lifting ring.
Le groupe électrogène peut présenter un décrochement dans la surface supérieure dudit capot, pour loger un tel anneau de levage, qui peut alors être monté de façon qu'il ne dépasse pas ladite surface supérieure.  The generator may have a recess in the upper surface of said cover, to accommodate such a lifting ring, which can then be mounted so that it does not exceed said upper surface.
L'invention concerne également, en tant que tel, un élément de protection pour un groupe électrogène tel que décrit ci-dessus, et destiné à être monté autour desdites ouvertures, pour assurer une double protection : d'une part de la surface extérieure dudit châssis, contre les chocs dus notamment à la manutention, au transport et/ou au stockage, en étant débordant par rapport à la surface dudit châssis au voisinage dudit butoir ; et The invention also relates, as such, to a protection element for a generator set as described above, and intended to be mounted around said openings, to ensure double protection: firstly of the outer surface of said frame, against shocks due in particular to the handling, transport and / or storage, being overflowing with respect to the surface of said frame in the vicinity of said stopper; and
- d'autre part des bords de ladite ouverture, contre les chocs dus à l'introduction d'une desdites fourches, en entourant lesdits bords. - On the other hand edges of said opening, against shocks due to the introduction of one of said forks, surrounding said edges.
Ces éléments de protection, réalisés à base de caoutchouc et/ou de matière plastique, le cas échéant moulés sur une pièce de renfort, pourront notamment être distribués indépendamment, pour permettre la maintenance des groupes électrogènes.  These protective elements, made of rubber and / or plastic, if necessary molded on a reinforcing piece, may in particular be distributed independently, to allow the maintenance of generators.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, donné un titre d'exemple illustratif et non limitatif, et des figures annexées parmi lesquelles :  Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge more clearly on reading the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, given an illustrative and nonlimiting illustrative title, and the appended figures among which:
les figures 1A et 1B illustrent un exemple de groupe électrogène selon l'invention, respectivement vu de face et de trois quarts ; la figure 2 est une vue du butoir à double fonction du groupe électrogène des figures 1A et 1B.  FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate an example of a generator set according to the invention, respectively seen from the front and three quarters; Figure 2 is a view of the bumper dual function of the generator set of Figures 1A and 1B.
6. Description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation de l'invention 6. Detailed description of an embodiment of the invention
L'invention propose donc un nouveau type de butoir, pour les socles de groupe électrogène, assurant au moins deux fonctions, à savoir d'une part celle d'un butoir classique de protection contre les chocs dus à la manutention, au transport et au stockage, et d'autre part la protection spécifique des passages de fourche. Il est ainsi possible d'assurer une protection simple et efficace de ces passages de fourche, permettant en outre de proposer une esthétique nouvelle, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de prévoir des butoirs supplémentaires. The invention thus proposes a new type of bumper, for the bases of generator set, ensuring at least two functions, namely on the one hand that of a conventional bumper protection against shocks due to handling, transport and maintenance. storage, and secondly the specific protection of the forklift. It is thus possible to ensure a simple and effective protection of these fork passages, allowing further to propose a new aesthetic, without the need to provide additional bumpers.
Les figures 1 A et 1 B illustrent un exemple de groupe électrogène équipé de tels butoirs. Ce groupe électrogène comporte donc un socle, ou châssis, 11 et un capot 12. Sur le châssis 11, et sous le capot 12, sont montés les différents éléments nécessaires à la production d'électricité, et notamment un moteur thermique et un alternateur (non représentés). Il est possible d'accéder au moteur par la porte 121, et à l'alternateur par la porte 122. Une série de prises et de bornées 13 permet les raccordements électriques voulus. FIGS. 1A and 1B illustrate an example of a generator set equipped with such bumpers. This generator thus comprises a base, or chassis, 11 and a cover 12. On the chassis 11, and under the hood 12, are assembled the various elements necessary for the production of electricity, and in particular a heat engine and an alternator ( not shown). It is possible to access the motor through the door 121, and the alternator through the door 122. A series of jacks and terminals 13 allows the desired electrical connections.
Le châssis 1 1 présente deux ouvertures 1 1 1 et 1 12, formant des passages de fourches, pour les fourches d'un chariot élévateur (deux autres ouvertures symétriques peuvent être prévues de l'autre côté du châssis). Ces passages de fourches sécurisent et facilitent la manutention par chariot élévateur, puisqu'elles garantissent le bon équilibre du groupe sur ces fourches.  The chassis 1 1 has two openings 1 1 1 and 1 12, forming fork passages, for the forks of a forklift (two other symmetrical openings can be provided on the other side of the chassis). These forklifts secure and facilitate handling by forklift, since they ensure the correct balance of the group on these forks.
Ces passages de fourche 1 1 1 et 1 12 sont, selon l'invention, équipés de buttoir 14 anti-chocs, protégeant le châssis, et plus généralement le groupe électrogène, notamment lors de la manutention, du transport et du stockage. La forme particulière de ces butoirs 14, autour des ouvertures 111 et 112, permet également de protéger ces ouvertures contre tout choc qui pourrait apparaître lors de l'introduction ou le retrait des fourches.  These fork passages January 1 and January 12 are, according to the invention, equipped with abutment buffer 14, protecting the frame, and more generally the generator, especially during handling, transport and storage. The particular shape of these stops 14, around the openings 111 and 112, also protects these openings against any shock that may appear during the introduction or withdrawal of the forks.
Ainsi, les bords de ces ouvertures sont protégés contre la déformation et la corrosion (qui apparaîtrait rapidement, si la peinture du châssis se détériorait et disparaissait suite aux contacts successifs avec des fourches).  Thus, the edges of these openings are protected against deformation and corrosion (which would appear quickly, if the painting of the frame deteriorated and disappeared after successive contacts with forks).
La figure 2 présente plus précisément un exemple de réalisation d'un tel buttoir 14. Ce butoir est réalisé par moulage d'une portion 21, dans une matière adaptée, telle que du caoutchouc ou un plastique idoine, assurant la protection contre les chocs, sur un plaque métallique 22.  FIG. 2 more precisely presents an exemplary embodiment of such a stopper 14. This stopper is made by molding a portion 21 in a suitable material, such as rubber or a suitable plastic, providing protection against shocks, on a metal plate 22.
Cette plaque métallique 22 est par exemple vissée sur le châssis 11 par l'intermédiaire de quatre vis placées dans les ouvertures 231 à 234. D'autres modes de solidarisation au châssis sont bien sûr envisageables, par exemple par rivetage ou collage. Cependant, le vissage présente l'avantage de permettre un remplacement aisé et rapide d'un buttoir qui serait détérioré. Ainsi, au cours du temps, la maintenance est simplifiée, puisqu'il suffit de remplacer le buttoir lorsqu'il est usé pour garantir une bonne durée de vie du revêtement par peinture notamment des bords de chaque ouverture 111 et 112. This metal plate 22 is for example screwed on the frame 11 by means of four screws placed in the openings 231 to 23 4 . Other modes of attachment to the frame are of course conceivable, for example by riveting or gluing. However, the screwing has the advantage of allowing a quick and easy replacement of a bumper that would be damaged. Thus, over time, maintenance is simplified, since it suffices to replace the buttoir when worn to ensure a good service life of the paint coating including the edges of each opening 111 and 112.
La plaque métallique sur laquelle est moulée la partie caoutchouc (ou plastique) sert aussi à protéger les arêtes de passage de fourche du châssis, contre les chocs ou les agressions des fourches lors de la manutention.  The metal plate on which is molded the rubber part (or plastic) also serves to protect the forklift edges of the frame, against shocks or attacks of the forks during handling.
L'épaisseur du butoir 14 est de l'ordre de quelques centimètres, typiquement 1 à 5 cm. Ce butoir est donc débordant, ou saillant, par rapport à la surface du châssis 11 (voir figure 1B), de façon à assurer la protection de ce châssis, dans les différents cas susmentionnés.  The thickness of the stopper 14 is of the order of a few centimeters, typically 1 to 5 cm. This bumper is overflowing, or salient, relative to the surface of the frame 11 (see Figure 1B), so as to ensure the protection of this frame, in the various cases mentioned above.
On peut prévoir que le butoir 14 présente une partie supplémentaire de protection, pénétrant à l'intérieur de l'ouverture.  It can be provided that the stopper 14 has an additional portion of protection, penetrating inside the opening.
Par ailleurs, comme il apparaît notamment sur la figure 1B, le châssis 1 1 est débordant et surdimensionné, par rapport au capot 12. Ceci permet d'augmenter la résistance et la durabilité du groupe électrogène, et de réduire encore les risques de chocs contre le capot 12.  Moreover, as it appears in particular in Figure 1B, the frame 1 1 is overflowing and oversized, relative to the cover 12. This increases the strength and durability of the generator, and further reduce the risk of shock against the hood 12.
Selon un autre aspect du mode de réalisation illustré par les figures 1A et 1B, on notera que le châssis 11 est équipé de barres de traction 15 formées sur les bords latéraux du châssis, et que les bords longitudinaux de ce châssis présentent des extrémités biseautées 16, de façon à faciliter un déplacement par traction, même sur terrain accidenté.  According to another aspect of the embodiment illustrated by FIGS. 1A and 1B, it will be noted that the frame 11 is equipped with traction bars 15 formed on the lateral edges of the frame, and that the longitudinal edges of this frame have bevelled ends 16 , so as to facilitate traction travel, even on rough terrain.
La partie supérieure du groupe électrogène peut être équipé d'un anneau de levage 17. Selon le mode de réalisation illustré, un décrochement 18 a été ménagé dans la partie supérieure du capot, de façon que l'anneau de levage 17 soit affleurant. De cette façon, le point de levage central ne dépasse pas du volume global du groupe.  The upper part of the generating set can be equipped with a lifting ring 17. According to the illustrated embodiment, a recess 18 has been formed in the upper part of the cover, so that the lifting ring 17 is flush. In this way, the central lifting point does not exceed the overall volume of the group.
Pour permettre un accès facilité et sécurisé à cet anneau de levage 17, une ou plusieurs marches 19 peuvent être prévues sur le châssis 11. On peut prévoir que cette marche 19 soit amovible ou escamotable. D'autres marches, non illustrées, peuvent également être ménagées sur le capot 12.  To allow easy and secure access to the lifting ring 17, one or more steps 19 may be provided on the frame 11. It can be provided that this step 19 is removable or retractable. Other steps, not shown, may also be provided on the hood 12.
