[0019] La figure 1 illustre, de façon générale, le système machine-outil selon l'invention, avec une pluralité de machines-outils utilisables dans le cadre de ce système, à savoir, dans l'exemple représenté, une tronçonneuse 1 , notamment mais non exclusivement des rails d'une voie de chemin de fer, un vibrateur 2 qui permet, par exemple, de compacter le ballast entre les traverses, une perceuse 3, par exemple, de rails destinée à percer des trous dans les rails pour la fixation des éclisses ou tresses de connexion, et une clé à chocs 4 permettant de visser ou dévisser les attaches ou des boulons d'éclisse. Les machines sont équipées d'un moteur électrique et sont alimentées en puissance électrique par une batterie 5 intégrée dans un ensemble 6 portable par l'utilisateur d'une machine, avantageusement en forme d'un sac à dos. Chaque machine est connectable à la batterie par un cordon ou câble de décharge 9. Les machines étant des machines de forte puissance par exemple de l’ordre de 3 à 10 KW, le cordon 9, pour le ne pas être gênant pour l'utilisateur est un câble multifilaire souple comportant une multitude de conducteurs électriques de faible section transversale ce qui permet au cordon d'être souple et de limiter réchauffement par le courant électrique circulant entre la batterie et le moteur électrique de la machine branchée sur la batterie. FIG. 1 illustrates, in general, the machine tool system according to the invention, with a plurality of machine tools usable within the framework of this system, namely, in the example shown, a chainsaw 1, notably but not exclusively rails of a railway track, a vibrator 2 which makes it possible, for example, to compact the ballast between the sleepers, a drill 3, for example, of rails intended to drill holes in the rails for fixing of the connection plates or braids, and an impact wrench 4 for screwing or unscrewing the fasteners or the connection bolts. The machines are equipped with an electric motor and are supplied with electric power by a battery 5 integrated in an assembly 6 portable by the user of a machine, advantageously in the form of a backpack. Each machine is connectable to the battery by a discharge cord or cable 9. The machines being high-power machines, for example of the order of 3 to 10 KW, the cord 9, so as not to be annoying for the user is a flexible multi-wire cable comprising a multitude of electrical conductors of small cross section which allows the cord to be flexible and to limit heating by the electric current flowing between the battery and the electric motor of the machine connected to the battery.
[0020] Le système machine-outil selon l'invention sera décrit ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif dans son mode de réalisation comportant, comme machine-outil, une tronçonneuse, notamment mais pas exclusivement, de rails d'une voie de chemin de fer, telle que représentée en 1 aux figures 1 et 2, aux figures 3A à 3D et aux figures 1 1 à 13. The machine tool system according to the invention will be described below, by way of nonlimiting example in its embodiment comprising, as machine tool, a chainsaw, in particular but not exclusively, rails of a railway track, as shown in 1 in Figures 1 and 2, Figures 3A to 3D and Figures 1 1 to 13.
[0021 ] Comme il ressort des figures, dans le système machine-outil selon l'invention, la tronçonneuse 1 est pourvue d'un moteur électrique indiqué par la référence 8 sur les figures 1 1 B et 15, et entraîne par la batterie électrique 5 disposée dans un boîtier 13 en forme d'une coque sur laquelle est fixée une sur-coque 15. L'ensemble formé par la surcoque 15 et le boîtier 5 est complété par un dispositif de portage ergonomique 16 pour former l'ensemble 6 de la structure de sac à dos portable par un opérateur de la machine- outil. L'ensemble de portage permet de s'affranchir du poids de la batterie sur la machine. Un chargeur de batterie 7 permet la recharge rapide de la batterie par exemple en 2 heures (figure 1 ). [0022] Comme le montre les figures 3A à 3D, pour couper un rail 17, la tronçonneuse 1 est montée pivotante sur un dispositif étau de support et de fixation 18 à deux bras articulés 19, 20. L'un des deux bras, à savoir le bras 20 est pourvu à son extrémité libre d'un étau 21 de fixation par serrage sur le rail, tandis que l'autre bras 19 porte à son extrémité libre un axe 22 sur lequel est montée de façon pivotante la tronçonneuse. A cette fin, la tronçonneuse comporte une douille de réception de l’axe, notée 25 (page 2). Au fond de la douille est prévu un contact électrique (non représenté) qui est fermé lorsque la machine est correctement mise en place sur l’axe 22 de l’étau. As is apparent from the figures, in the machine tool system according to the invention, the chainsaw 1 is provided with an electric motor indicated by the reference 8 in Figures 1 1 B and 15, and driven by the electric battery 5 disposed in a housing 13 in the form of a shell on which is fixed an over-shell 15. The assembly formed by the overcoat 15 and the housing 5 is completed by an ergonomic carrying device 16 to form the assembly 6 of portable backpack structure by a machine tool operator. The carrying assembly allows to overcome the weight of the battery on the machine. A battery charger 7 allows rapid recharging of the battery, for example in 2 hours (Figure 1). As shown in Figures 3A to 3D, to cut a rail 17, the chainsaw 1 is pivotally mounted on a support and fixing vice device 18 with two articulated arms 19, 20. One of the two arms, namely the arm 20 is provided at its free end with a vise 21 for fixing by clamping on the rail, while the other arm 19 carries at its free end a pin 22 on which is pivotally mounted the chainsaw. To this end, the chain saw has a socket for receiving the axle, denoted 25 (page 2). At the bottom of the socket is provided an electrical contact (not shown) which is closed when the machine is correctly positioned on the axis 22 of the vice.
[0023] On décrira ci-après plus en détail l'ensemble de portage de la batterie et de cette dernière, en se référant aux figures 4 à 9. La vue éclatée de la figure 5 montre les différents composants de l'ensemble, à savoir la batterie 5, le boîtier 13 en forme de coque, la sur-coque 15 et le dispositif de portage 16 comportant essentiellement deux bretelles 23, chacune pour une épaule de l'opérateur, qui sont montées sur une plaque de fixation 24 et une sangle abdominale réglable 26 dont la partie médiane arrière 27 est élargie pour permettre le montage de la sangle sur le boîtier 13. Pour la fixation du dispositif de portage 16 sur le boîtier/coque 13, ce dernier est pourvu de platines 29, 30 (figures 7E, 7F) qui sont formées par des tôles à coller à l'intérieur de la coque et qui supportent des inserts étanches et taraudés 32 de fixation du dispositif de portage 16 sur le boîtier à l'aide de vis de fixation des parties 24, 27 du dispositif 16 dans les inserts taraudés 32. Les platines sont larges pour offrir une bonne surface d'adhérence et une bonne portée pour reprendre les efforts. Les inserts étanches 32 sont sertis sur la tôle avant le collage sur la coque. Le boîtier est conçu pour constituer l'élément de protection extérieur de la batterie et la sur-coque 15 fixé sur la coque procure une sécurité supplémentaire. We will describe below in more detail the battery carrying assembly and the latter, with reference to Figures 4 to 9. The exploded view of Figure 5 shows the various components of the assembly, namely the battery 5, the shell-shaped housing 13, the over-shell 15 and the carrying device 16 essentially comprising two straps 23, each for an operator shoulder, which are mounted on a fixing plate 24 and a adjustable abdominal strap 26, the rear middle portion 27 of which is widened to allow the strap to be mounted on the housing 13. For fixing the carrying device 16 to the housing / shell 13, the latter is provided with plates 29, 30 (figures 7E, 7F) which are formed by sheets to be glued to the inside of the shell and which support sealed and threaded inserts 32 for fixing the carrying device 16 to the housing using screws for fixing the parts 24, 27 of device 16 in ins tapped erts 32. The plates are wide to offer a good grip surface and a good reach to take up the efforts. The waterproof inserts 32 are crimped onto the sheet before bonding to the shell. The housing is designed to constitute the external protective element of the battery and the over-shell 15 fixed on the shell provides additional security.
[0024] Le boîtier coque 13 de protection extérieure de la batterie est constitué de deux demi-coques 34, 35 réalisées en fibre de verre/résine polyester se caractérisant par une forte résistance et un excellent rapport rigidité/masse. La référence 37 désigne un cache de joint d'étanchéité interposé entre les deux demi-coques. Un ensemble de cales souples 40 et 41 (figure 7C) est positionné sur les côtés intérieurs de la coque. Ces cales permettent le bon positionnement de la batterie dans la coque et ont une fonction d’amortissement. Elles sont maintenues en place par des entretoises 42 jusqu'au moment du montage de la batterie dans la coque. En se référant aux figures 7B et 7C, on constate que la cale 40 est située au niveau de la jonction des deux demi-coques, tandis que les deux cales 41 sont disposées dans des plans perpendiculaires à la cale 40 près des côtés latéraux du boîtier. [0025] Concernant la batterie 5 destinée à être placée dans le boîtier 13, elle est équipée d'une platine connectique 45 (figures 8, 9) située au niveau de l'ouverture du boîtier. Elle est accueillie par les cales souples antichoc 40, 41 qui constituent une structure de type squelette de mousses. Deux languettes 47 sont fixées chacune sur une grande face latérale de la batterie, au niveau de son extrémité côté ouverture. Elles sont destinées à supprimer le mouvement de la batterie vers la platine connectique tout en assurant une absorption des chocs. A cette fin, lorsque la batterie est placée dans le boîtier, les extrémités libres des languettes souples 47 viennent en prise en 49 derrière un élément de butée à l'entrée du boîtier. The shell 13 outer protection of the battery box consists of two half-shells 34, 35 made of fiberglass / polyester resin characterized by high strength and an excellent stiffness / mass ratio. Reference 37 designates a seal cover interposed between the two half-shells. A set of flexible shims 40 and 41 (FIG. 7C) is positioned on the interior sides of the hull. These shims allow the correct positioning of the battery in the shell and have a damping function. They are held in place by spacers 42 until the time of mounting the battery in the shell. Referring to Figures 7B and 7C, we see that the shim 40 is located at the junction of the two half-shells, while the two shims 41 are arranged in planes perpendicular to the shim 40 near the lateral sides of the housing . Regarding the battery 5 intended to be placed in the housing 13, it is equipped with a connection plate 45 (Figures 8, 9) located at the opening of the housing. It is received by the flexible shock-absorbing wedges 40, 41 which constitute a skeleton-like structure of mosses. Two tabs 47 are each fixed on a large lateral face of the battery, at its end on the opening side. They are intended to suppress the movement of the battery towards the connection plate while ensuring shock absorption. To this end, when the battery is placed in the housing, the free ends of the flexible tongues 47 engage at 49 behind a stop element at the entrance to the housing.
[0026] Comme le montre les figures 8 et 9, à la batterie sont associées une carte BMS (Batterie Management System) 51 , une carte de commutation 53 et une carte connecteur 55, qui sont placées entre le cœur de la batterie et la platine connectique 45. Le cœur de la batterie, dans l'exemple représenté, est constitué de 130 cellules du type Li-lon. Les cellules sont maintenues les unes à côté des autres par deux éléments de maintien (non représenté) disposés chacun à une extrémité du bloc des cellules. Deux cartes électroniques sont prévues pour réaliser l'interconnexion des cellules et à recevoir les capteurs de température. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the battery is associated with a BMS card (Battery Management System) 51, a switching card 53 and a connector card 55, which are placed between the heart of the battery and the plate connectors 45. The battery core, in the example shown, consists of 130 Li-lon type cells. The cells are held next to each other by two holding elements (not shown) each arranged at one end of the block of cells. Two electronic cards are provided to interconnect the cells and to receive the temperature sensors.
[0027] La platine connectique 45 (figures 6 et 8) porte sur sa face extérieure, un connecteur de décharge 60 sur lequel on raccorde le cordon de décharge qui constitue le câble de puissance, pour relier la batterie à la machine utilisée. Ce connecteur est étanche, il est équipé d'un bouchon amovible pour le protéger quand le cordon n'est pas branché. La platine porte en outre un connecteur de charge 62 pour relier un chargeur à la batterie, trois connecteurs 64 qui permettent de brancher des accessoires à la batterie, tel que l'interface homme/machine IHM, une lampe LED et le cordon de recharge USB, un bouton de mise en route 66 et une trappe 68 d'accès à une carte mémoire. Le connecteur de charge 62 est équipé d'un couvercle à fermeture automatique qui permet de protéger le contact électrique quand le chargeur n'est pas branché. Le bouton de mise en route 66 est un bouton lumineux. Quand il est allumé, la batterie est en route. Quand il est éteint, la batterie est arrêtée. La batterie passe en mode "veille" au bout de 10 minutes après avoir été éteinte (mode économie d'énergie) ou au bout de 10 minutes d'inactivité. Des modes de clignotement sont prévus pour signaler différents types de défauts à l'utilisateur. La platine porte également un respirateur 69. Concernant le respirateur 69, comme la batterie est étanche, il permet d'équilibrer la pression entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur de la batterie en évitant toute introduction d'humidité. La carte mémoire contient le paramètre de fonctionnement de la batterie ainsi que des informations sur les machines utilisées. [0028] La carte connecteur 55 porte un transformateur 48 V/5 V qui permet l'alimentation des accessoires, l’alimentation de la carte machine par l’initiation du système, la connectique pour la répartition des faisceaux accessoires et le CAN BUS, la connectique pour le raccordement de mise en route 66, un buzzer d'alarme "batterie faible" indiquant à l'utilisateur qu'il faut recharger la batterie afin de ne pas endommager les cellules, les plots de raccordement de puissance de la batterie et un connecteur de décharge multibroches. En sortie de la batterie 5, il y a deux câbles de puissance de grosse section qui ne sont pas souples. Le connecteur multibroches a pour fonction de répartir la forte puissance sur une pluralité de broches compatibles avec la pluralité de conducteurs de plus petite section du cordon ou câble de décharge, qui est conçu pour être le plus souple possible pour faciliter l'utilisation des machines et pour limiter réchauffement du cordon. Plus précisément, dans un exemple avantageux de mise en œuvre du connecteur multibroches, celui-ci comporte vingt quatre broches, à savoir dix broches pour le + 48 V, dix broches pour le 0 V, une broche + 5 V, une broche 0 V, une broche pour le CAN haut et une broche pour le CAN bas. Le câble de décharge comporte un conducteur pour chaque broche. La carte connecteur comporte en outre un relais qui protège la voie de charge qui a pour fonction d'empêcher la présence de courant sur la voie de charge, quand aucun connecteur n'est branché dessus. Un circuit est prévu dans le câblage du connecteur de charge qui permet la fermeture du circuit de charge au moment où il est branché sur la batterie. The connection plate 45 (Figures 6 and 8) carries on its outer face, a discharge connector 60 on which is connected the discharge cord which constitutes the power cable, to connect the battery to the machine used. This connector is waterproof, it is equipped with a removable plug to protect it when the cord is not connected. The plate also carries a charging connector 62 for connecting a charger to the battery, three connectors 64 which allow accessories to be connected to the battery, such as the HMI man / machine interface, an LED lamp and the USB charging cord. , a start button 66 and a hatch 68 for accessing a memory card. The charging connector 62 is equipped with a self-closing cover which protects the electrical contact when the charger is not connected. The start button 66 is a light button. When it is on, the battery is on. When it is off, the battery is stopped. The battery goes into "standby" mode after 10 minutes after being switched off (energy saving mode) or after 10 minutes of inactivity. Flashing modes are provided to signal different types of faults to the user. The plate also carries a respirator 69. With regard to the respirator 69, since the battery is waterproof, it makes it possible to balance the pressure between the interior and the exterior of the battery by preventing any introduction of moisture. The memory card contains the battery operating parameter as well as information on the machines used. The connector card 55 carries a 48 V / 5 V transformer which allows the power supply of the accessories, the power supply of the machine card by the initiation of the system, the connections for the distribution of the accessory beams and the CAN BUS, the connectors for the start-up connection 66, a "low battery" alarm buzzer indicating to the user that the battery must be recharged so as not to damage the cells, the battery power connection pads and a multi-pin discharge connector. At the output of battery 5, there are two large section power cables which are not flexible. The function of the multi-pin connector is to distribute the high power over a plurality of pins compatible with the plurality of conductors of smaller section of the discharge cord or cable, which is designed to be as flexible as possible to facilitate the use of the machines and to limit heating of the cord. More specifically, in an advantageous example of implementing the multi-pin connector, it has twenty four pins, namely ten pins for + 48 V, ten pins for 0 V, one + 5 V pin, one 0 V pin , a pin for the high CAN and a pin for the low CAN. The discharge cable has a conductor for each pin. The connector card also includes a relay which protects the charging channel which has the function of preventing the presence of current on the charging channel, when no connector is connected to it. A circuit is provided in the wiring of the charging connector which allows the charging circuit to be closed when it is connected to the battery.
[0029] La carte BMS 51 assure des fonctions de sécurité, à savoir la protection contre les surcharges, une protection contre les court-circuits et la surveillance de la température. Elle assure aussi la gestion des cellules, à savoir la surveillance de la décharge et de la charge des cellules. Puis la carte accomplit des fonctions de communication, c'est-à-dire le pilotage de la carte de commutation, la gestion de la carte mémoire, du buzzer et de la l'interface homme/machine IHM et, le cas échéant, des liaisons avec d'autres applications. The BMS 51 card provides security functions, namely protection against overloads, protection against short-circuits and temperature monitoring. It also ensures the management of the cells, namely the monitoring of the discharge and of the charge of the cells. Then the card performs communication functions, that is to say the control of the switching card, the management of the memory card, of the buzzer and of the HMI man / machine interface and, where appropriate, of the links with other applications.
[0030] La carte de commutation 53 comporte un relais électronique qui est piloté par la carte BMS 51 et à pour fonction d'assurer la fonction de coupure de la puissance sur la voie de décharge de la batterie, la gestion de la voie de charge, la gestion du circuit de pré-charge des contrôleurs moteur des machines, et la protection contre des surcharges et des court-circuits. The switching card 53 includes an electronic relay which is controlled by the BMS card 51 and has the function of ensuring the power cut function on the battery discharge path, the management of the charge path , the management of the pre-charge circuit of the engine motor controllers, and the protection against overloads and short-circuits.
[0031 ] Après la description de la partie du système, située du côté de la batterie, des différents composants de celle-ci et de leurs fonctions, on décrira ci-après la partie du système située du côté des machines-outils. [0032] Chaque machine qui sera branchée sur la batterie 5 est équipée d'une carte machine 77, dont les deux faces sont représentées aux figures 10A et 10B, et qui porte un connecteur multibroches 79 permettant le branchement du cordon de décharge, et deux plots de puissance 81 qui réunissent respectivement les dix broches de + 48 V et les dix broches de 0 V, pour l'alimentation en puissance électrique du contrôleur moteur. La carte comporte aussi les bornes de connexion pour les entrées/sorties et est adaptée pour gérer les entrées/sorties logiques. La carte a aussi pour fonction d'établir un dialogue avec la batterie pour l'identification de la machine lors du raccordement et d'envoyer des commandes au contrôleur moteur 78 pour le pilotage du moteur. After the description of the part of the system, located on the side of the battery, of the various components thereof and their functions, the part of the system located on the side of machine tools will be described below. Each machine which will be connected to the battery 5 is equipped with a machine card 77, the two faces of which are shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, and which carries a multi-pin connector 79 allowing the connection of the discharge cord, and two power pads 81 which respectively bring together the ten + 48 V pins and the ten 0 V pins, for supplying electrical power to the motor controller. The card also includes connection terminals for inputs / outputs and is adapted to manage logic inputs / outputs. The card also has the function of establishing a dialogue with the battery for identification of the machine during connection and of sending commands to the engine controller 78 for controlling the engine.
[0033] Chaque carte machine dispose d'un programme qui gère le fonctionnement spécifique de la machine selon la logique de fonctionnement suivante : le cordon de décharge est branché sur la carte machine, la tension permanente 0/5 V permet la mise en route de la carte machine, un dialogue crypté sur le CAN BUS s'engage entre la carte machine et la carte BMS 51. Si la carte machine est reconnue, la carte BMS autorise la fermeture de la voie de décharge 48 V. La carte de commutation 53 gère la pré-charge du contrôleur moteur 78. La machine est prête à être utilisée si les conditions de mise en route sont réunies. Each machine card has a program that manages the specific operation of the machine according to the following operating logic: the discharge cord is connected to the machine card, the permanent voltage 0/5 V allows the start-up of the machine card, an encrypted dialogue on the CAN BUS commits between the machine card and the BMS card 51. If the machine card is recognized, the BMS card authorizes the closing of the 48 V discharge channel. The switching card 53 manages the motor controller 78 preload. The machine is ready for use if the start-up conditions are met.
[0034] Concernant les machines-outils utilisables dans le cadre du système selon l'invention, on décrira ci-après plus en détail la tronçonneuse 1 telle que représentée aux figures 1 , 3A à 3D et 1 1 à 13. Cette tronçonneuse comporte un disque de tronçonnage 80 entraîné en rotation, par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de transmission 82, par un moteur électrique 8 enfermé dans un carter 84. La tronçonneuse est pourvue à son extrémité opposée à celle du disque d'une poignée 86 de commande pourvue d’un levier pivotant 87 de commande du moteur pour que celui-ci fasse tourner le disque dans l'un ou l'autre sens de rotation par pivotement du levier vers le haut ou vers le bas. La tronçonneuse comporte en outre une paire de poignées de sécurité, à savoir une poignée supérieure 88 et une poignée inférieure 89. Il est à noter que, pour mettre en route le disque après avoir monté la machine sur l’étau de support 18 en enfilant la machine grâce à sa douille 25 sur l’axe 22, ce qui provoque la fermeture du contact électrique au fond de la douille, l'opérateur doit actionner à la fois le levier de commande 87 en le faisant pivoter vers le haut et la poignée de sécurité supérieure 88 ou 89 pour actionner un contact intégré à cette poignée. Si cet enchaînement des opérations n’est pas fait dans l’ordre décrit, la machine ne fonctionnera pas. Comme on le voit sur les figures, chaque poignée est située soit au- dessus, soit en-dessous du carter, à une certaine distance de la surface supérieure ou inférieure de celle-ci, et est portée par une tige 91 qui s'étend dans un plan parallèle au plan du disque, en faisant saillie au-dessus et en-dessous du carter et se termine par une extrémité en forme d'un pied 92. Chaque poignée 88, 89 s'étend perpendiculairement à sa tige de support et au plan du disque, à proximité du pied de la tige. A chaque poignée est associée une garde 93. Sur la face latérale d'extrémité sur laquelle est située la poignée de commande 86, on voit le connecteur multibroches 79 de branchement du cordon de décharge. Sur un côté latéral du carter est fixé un capot 96 qui recouvre un filtre à air 97 à travers lequel, par un ventilateur électrique interne, est aspiré un flux d'air de refroidissement du moteur, qui traverse le moteur et est rejeté à l'avant côté disque. L'ouverture d'aspiration se trouve du côté opérateur. Le filtre à air permet d'éviter que des particules métalliques produites par le tronçonnage du rail ou des particules abrasives provenant de l'usure du disque puissent s'introduire dans le moteur. Sur l'autre côté latéral du châssis est prévue la douille 25 de réception de l'axe de support de l'étau. Regarding machine tools used in the context of the system according to the invention, the following will be described in more detail the chainsaw 1 as shown in Figures 1, 3A to 3D and 1 1 to 13. This chainsaw comprises a cutting disc 80 driven in rotation, by means of a transmission device 82, by an electric motor 8 enclosed in a casing 84. The chainsaw is provided at its end opposite to that of the disc with a control handle 86 provided with a pivoting lever 87 for controlling the motor so that the latter turns the disc in one or the other direction of rotation by pivoting the lever up or down. The chainsaw further comprises a pair of safety handles, namely an upper handle 88 and a lower handle 89. It should be noted that, in order to start the disc after having mounted the machine on the support vice 18 by threading it the machine thanks to its socket 25 on the axis 22, which causes the closing of the electrical contact at the bottom of the socket, the operator must actuate both the control lever 87 by pivoting it upwards and the handle safety switch 88 or 89 to activate a contact built into this handle. If this sequence of operations is not done in the order described, the machine will not operate. As can be seen in the figures, each handle is located either above or below the casing, at a certain distance from the upper or lower surface thereof, and is carried by a rod 91 which extends in a plane parallel to the plane of the disc, projecting above and below the casing and ends with a foot-shaped end 92. Each handle 88, 89 extends perpendicularly to its support rod and to the plane of the disc, near the foot of the stem. A guard 93 is associated with each handle. On the lateral end face on which the control handle 86 is located, we see the multi-pin connector 79 for connecting the discharge cord. On a lateral side of the casing is fixed a cover 96 which covers an air filter 97 through which, by an internal electric fan, a flow of engine cooling air is drawn in, which passes through the engine and is discharged to the front disc side. The suction opening is on the operator side. The air filter prevents metal particles produced by cutting the rail or abrasive particles from disc wear from entering the engine. On the other lateral side of the chassis is provided the socket 25 for receiving the vice support axis.
[0035] Pour que l'opérateur ne commence pas une coupe sans être sûr de pouvoir la terminer, un afficheur LED est prévu sur le carter, qui donne à l'opérateur une information sur la quantité d'énergie restante disponible dans la batterie, par rapport à la quantité d'énergie nécessaire pour faire une coupe complète, suite à une analyse faite par la carte machine qui allume les LEDS en fonction du résultat. Une LED par exemple verte signifie que la coupe peut être commencée et il y a assez d'énergie pour la finir. L'allumage d'une LED par exemple jaune, indique qu'une dernière coupe complète est encore possible. Par contre, lorsqu'il y a une LED rouge, l'opérateur ne doit pas commencer une coupe car il n'y a pas assez d'énergie dans la batterie pour la finir. L'afficheur comporte encore une LED "encrassement de filtre" qui indique à l'opérateur qu'il a atteint un nombre de coupe qui nécessite le remplacement du filtre à air. So that the operator does not start a cut without being sure of being able to complete it, an LED display is provided on the casing, which gives the operator information on the amount of remaining energy available in the battery, compared to the amount of energy required to make a complete cut, following an analysis made by the machine board which lights the LEDs according to the result. An example green LED means that the cut can be started and there is enough energy to finish it. The lighting of a yellow LED, for example, indicates that a last complete cut is still possible. On the other hand, when there is a red LED, the operator must not start a cut because there is not enough energy in the battery to finish it. The display also has a "filter clogging" LED which indicates to the operator that he has reached a cutting number which requires the replacement of the air filter.
[0036] Une particularité très avantageuse de la tronçonneuse selon l'invention réside dans le fait qu'elle permet d'effectuer une coupe d'un rail par retournement, sans que l'opérateur soit obligé de démonter la machine de l'axe de l'étau, comme cela est illustré par les figures 3A à 3D. A very advantageous feature of the chainsaw according to the invention lies in the fact that it makes it possible to cut a rail by turning it over, without the operator having to dismantle the machine from the axis of the vice, as illustrated by FIGS. 3A to 3D.
[0037] La figure 3A montre la tronçonneuse, montée sur l'axe de l'étau de support, aux deux bras articulés 19, 20. Comme indiqué plus haut, l'opérateur a commencé la coupe en actionnant la poignée de sécurité 88 et le levier 87 de commande de rotation lorsqu'il saisit la poignée 86. Si la coupe n'est pas possible en une seule fois, l'opérateur sort le disque de l'entame de la coupe, arrête la rotation du disque en relâchant le levier de commande et effectue le retournement de la machine sans démontage de l'axe d'étau 22, en la faisant passer de la position de la figure 3B, sur un côté du rail, dans la position selon la figure 3C sur l'autre côté du rail. Pour continuer la coupe, l'opérateur actionne l'autre poignée de sécurité 89 qui est maintenant la poignée supérieure et le levier de commande 87 qu'il fait pivoter dans le sens inverse par rapport à la première phase de façon que le disque puisse tourner maintenant dans le sens inverse. FIG. 3A shows the chainsaw, mounted on the axis of the support vice, with the two articulated arms 19, 20. As indicated above, the operator started the cutting by actuating the safety handle 88 and the rotation control lever 87 when it grasps the handle 86. If cutting is not possible at one time, the operator takes the disc out of the cutting edge, stops the rotation of the disc by releasing the control lever and reverses the machine without dismantling the vice pin 22, passing it from the position of FIG. 3B, on one side of the rail, to the position according to FIG. 3C on the other side of the rail. To continue cutting, the operator actuates the other safety handle 89 which is now the upper handle and the control lever 87 which he rotates in the opposite direction with respect to the first phase so that the disc can rotate now in reverse.
[0038] Afin de pouvoir effectuer une coupe par retournement sans démontage de la tronçonneuse de l'étau, la douille de réception de la vis d'étau est placée dans l'axe qui passe à travers le centre du disque 80 et la poignée de commande 86, 87 et est indiqué par les références X, X', de manière à avoir une symétrie au niveau de la cinématique de l'ensemble des leviers constitué par les bras d'étau pour assurer les mêmes conditions de fonctionnement dans les deux sens de rotation du disque. La figure 12 montre la configuration particulière des composants du dispositif de transmission du mouvement rotatif de l'axe moteur à l'axe du disque. Cette transmission est effectuée à l'aide d'une courroie de transmission 101 sans fin, qui transmet le mouvement de rotation d'un galet 103 solidaire en rotation de l'axe du moteur à un galet 105 solidaire en rotation du disque. Pour éviter qu'un des brins de la courroie 101 , à savoir le brin 107, passe sur l'axe de la vis d'étau, ce brin est dévié par un galet 108. In order to be able to make a cut by inversion without disassembly of the vice chainsaw, the reception sleeve of the vice screw is placed in the axis which passes through the center of the disc 80 and the handle of control 86, 87 and is indicated by the references X, X ', so as to have symmetry in the kinematics of all of the levers constituted by the vice arms to ensure the same operating conditions in both directions disc rotation. FIG. 12 shows the particular configuration of the components of the device for transmitting the rotary movement from the motor axis to the axis of the disc. This transmission is carried out using an endless transmission belt 101, which transmits the rotational movement of a roller 103 integral in rotation with the axis of the motor to a roller 105 integral in rotation with the disc. To prevent one of the strands of the belt 101, namely the strand 107, from passing over the axis of the vice screw, this strand is deflected by a roller 108.
[0039] La courroie 101 est avantageusement une courroie élastique, striée dans le sens de la longueur, qui ne nécessite pas de réglage de tension, ni d'entretien. Pour éviter que la mise en place de la courroie doive être effectuée à l'aide d'un outil de montage spécifique, l'invention prévoit l'utilisation d'un galet 109, qui est supporté par un levier 1 1 1 monté pivotant autour d'un axe 113 et susceptible d'être fixé en position par une vis 1 15. The belt 101 is advantageously an elastic belt, striated lengthwise, which does not require tension adjustment or maintenance. To prevent the fitting of the belt from having to be carried out using a specific mounting tool, the invention provides for the use of a roller 109, which is supported by a lever 1 1 1 pivotally mounted around an axis 113 and capable of being fixed in position by a screw 1 15.
[0040] La figure 14 illustre les différents modes de coupe d'un rail. L'image à gauche montre le type de coupe consistant à couper l'intégralité du rail sans avoir à effectuer le retournement de la machine. Pour réaliser ce type de coupe, la machine doit être équipée d'un disque neuf. Les deux autres images illustrent une coupe en deux phases lorsque l'usure du disque a atteint un certain degré et son diamètre a diminué de façon qu'une coupe totale ne soit plus possible. Dans ce cas, conformément à l'image au milieu, l'opérateur en travaillant d'un premier côté coupe d'abord la totalité du champignon et de l'âme du rail, ainsi qu'une partie du patin, la partie hachurée restant non coupée. Après avoir mis le moteur au ralenti et attendu l'arrêt complet du disque, l'opérateur sort le disque de l'entame de la coupe et fait pivoter la machine de l'autre côté du rail de 180°, fait redémarrer la tronçonneuse et achève la coupe du rail, comme le montre l'image à droite. Figure 14 illustrates the different modes of cutting a rail. The image on the left shows the type of cut consisting in cutting the entire rail without having to turn the machine over. To make this type of cut, the machine must be equipped with a new disc. The other two images illustrate a two-phase cut when the wear of the disc has reached a certain degree and its diameter has decreased so that a total cut is no longer possible. In this case, in accordance with the image in the middle, the operator, working on a first side, first cuts the entire head and the web of the rail, as well as a part of the shoe, the hatched part remaining uncut. After putting the engine at idle and waiting for the disc to come to a complete stop, the operator takes the disc out of the cut and rotates the machine on the other side of the rail by 180 °, restarts the chainsaw and complete the rail cut, as shown in the image to the right.
[0041 ] Dans ce qui précède, on a décrit l'invention dans son mode de mise en oeuvre en utilisant une tronçonneuse de rail. Bien entendu, cette tronçonneuse peut être utilisée en la branchant à toute autre source de puissance électrique appropriée, portable ou même stationnaire. In the foregoing, the invention has been described in its mode of implementation using a rail saw. Of course, this chainsaw can be used in connecting it to any other suitable source of electrical power, portable or even stationary.
[0042] Comme le montre la figure 1 , le système selon l'invention peut être utilisé avec d'autres machines outil tel qu'un vibrateur montré en haut de la figure 1 et noté 2, une perceuse de rail 3 montrée au milieu et la boulonneuse à choc 4 montrée en bas. As shown in Figure 1, the system according to the invention can be used with other machine tools such as a vibrator shown at the top of Figure 1 and denoted 2, a rail drill 3 shown in the middle and the impact wrench 4 shown below.
[0043] Concernant le vibrateur 2, le câble de décharge de la batterie se branche sur le connecteur indiqué par la référence 121. La mise en route du vibrateur et son arrêt se fait par actionnement ou relâchement de la poignée 123. Le moteur électrique est refroidi par un flux d'air généré par un ventilateur électrique et qui traverse le moteur. Pour éviter que des particules de poussière soulevées par le travail de bourrage puissent parvenir au moteur, un filtre à air 125 est prévu dont le capot démontable a été ôté sur la figure. L'ensemble moteur, filtration et coffret électrique est recouvert par un capot en matière plastique non représenté. Un écran à LED 127 est présent afin d'indiquer la durée approximative de travail restant. Regarding the vibrator 2, the battery discharge cable is connected to the connector indicated by the reference 121. The vibrator is started and stopped by actuation or release of the handle 123. The electric motor is cooled by an air flow generated by an electric fan and which passes through the engine. To prevent dust particles raised by the tamping work from reaching the engine, an air filter 125 is provided, the removable cover of which has been removed in the figure. The engine, filtration and electrical box assembly is covered by a plastic cover (not shown). An LED screen 127 is present to indicate the approximate remaining working time.
[0044] Concernant la perceuse de rail 3, qui est pourvue d'un étau 129 de fixation sur le rail, le câble de décharge de la batterie se branche sur le connecteur indiqué en 131. Regarding the rail drill 3, which is provided with a vise 129 for fixing on the rail, the battery discharge cable is connected to the connector indicated at 131.
[0045] En ce qui concerne la boulonneuse à choc 4, son connecteur multibroches de branchement du câble de décharge est indiqué en 133. As regards the impact wrench 4, its multi-pin connector for connecting the discharge cable is indicated at 133.
[0046] Comme cela a déjà été énoncé plus haut, chaque machine-outil est équipée d'une carte machine 77 spécifique qui lui est propre. Lorsqu'une machine-outil est raccordée à la batterie, par l'intermédiaire du cordon de décharge, la carte machine de la machine raccordée établit un dialogue avec la carte BMS, par l'intermédiaire du BUS CAN pour permettre l'identification de la machine grâce à un code d'identification que la carte machine envoie à la carte BMS. Lorsque la carte machine est identifiée, la carte BMS qui a pour fonction le pilotage de la carte de commutation, autorise la fermeture de la voie de décharge passant de la batterie, à travers la carte de commutation, la carte connecteur, le câble multifilaires, la carte machine et le contrôleur moteur au moteur. Le fonctionnement spécifique de chaque machine est géré par la carte machine qui dispose du programme de fonctionnement et envoie donc des commandes au contrôleur moteur pour le pilotage de celui-ci. La machine est alors prête à être utilisée si les conditions de mise en route sont réunies, c'est-à-dire si l'opérateur a actionné les organes de commande, dans le cas de la tronçonneuse la poignée de commande et le levier de sécurité correspondant au sens de rotation souhaité du disque de tronçonnage. As has already been stated above, each machine tool is equipped with a specific machine card 77 which is specific to it. When a machine tool is connected to the battery, via the discharge cord, the machine card of the connected machine establishes a dialogue with the BMS card, via the CAN BUS to allow identification of the machine using an identification code which the machine card sends to the BMS card. When the machine card is identified, the BMS card which has the function of controlling the switching card, authorizes the closing of the discharge path passing from the battery, through the switching card, the connector card, the multi-wire cable, the machine card and the engine controller to the engine. The specific operation of each machine is managed by the machine card, which has the operating program and therefore sends commands to the engine controller to control it. The machine is then ready to be used if the start-up conditions are met, that is to say if the operator has actuated the control members, in the case of the chainsaw the control handle and the lever. safety corresponding to the desired direction of rotation of the cutting disc.
