Abstract

The trap (1) for dispensing objects (3) includes upstream and downstream doors, linked by a passage. The trap also includes a displacement mechanism moving along the objects which have been deposited in the space between the two doors. The trap (1) for moving objects (3) between an upstream zone (2) and a downstream zone (4) includes an upstream opening (10) which can be closed by an upstream door (5). The trap further includes a downstream opening (11) which is opened or closed by a downstream door (6). The passage linking the upstream and downstream openings is of constant cross-section. The trap also includes a displacement mechanism (17) moving between a first closed position when it is adjacent to the aperture (10), and a second closed position when it is close to the output aperture (11), thus moving along the objects. The upstream door may only be moved in this fashion when the downstream door is closed.

La presente invention concerne un sas, utilise notamment pour le transit d'objets entre une zone de stockage et une zone de livraison. On connait un sas du type utilise notamment pour le transit d'objets entre une zone amont et une zone aval, le sas comprenant, d'une part, une ouverture amont le separant de la zone amont, et adaptee a etre fermee par une porte amont mobile entre une position ouverte dans laquelle les objets peuvent passer de la zone amont au sas, et une position fermee dans laquelle le sas est isole de la zone amont, et, d'autre part, une ouverture aval le separant de la zone aval, et adaptee a etre fermee par une porte aval mobile entre une position ouverte dans laquelle les objets peuvent passer du sas a la zone aval, et une position fermee dans laquelle le sas est isole de la zone aval, une porte ne pouvant etre en position ouverte que quand l'autre est en position  The present invention relates to an airlock, used in particular for the transit of objects between a storage area and a delivery area. We know an airlock of the type used in particular for the transit of objects between an upstream area and a downstream area, the airlock comprising, on the one hand, an upstream opening separating it from the upstream area, and adapted to be closed by a door upstream movable between an open position in which objects can pass from the upstream area to the airlock, and a closed position in which the airlock is isolated from the upstream area, and, on the other hand, a downstream opening separating it from the downstream area , and adapted to be closed by a movable downstream door between an open position in which objects can pass from the airlock to the downstream area, and a closed position in which the airlock is isolated from the downstream area, a door being unable to be in position open only when the other is in position

fermee.closed.

Un tel sas peut etre utilise notamment comme trappe de livraison d'objets dans des magasins automatiques. Un inconvenient d'un tel sas est que l'utilisateur voulant recuperer les objets en zone aval doit verifier a ne rien oublier dans le sas. I1 existe des sas comprenant des systemes de detection de presence d'objets (par exemple  Such an airlock can be used in particular as an object delivery hatch in automatic stores. A disadvantage of such an airlock is that the user wanting to recover objects in the downstream area must make sure that nothing is forgotten in the airlock. There are airlocks including systems for detecting the presence of objects (for example

par pesage), mais de tels equipements vent couteux.  by weighing), but such equipment is expensive.

La presente invention a pour objet de remedier au probleme precise et de fournir un sas simple, peu onereux et permettant a l'utilisateur d'etre certain de la  The object of the present invention is to remedy the precise problem and to provide a simple airlock, inexpensive and allowing the user to be certain of the

livraison de ['ensemble des objets commandes.  delivery of all the ordered items.

Selon l' invention, le sas du type prAcitA compend des moyens de dAplacement adaptAs dAplacer la porte amont en position fermAe entre une position fermAe amont dans laquelle elle est au droit de l'ouverture amont, et une position fermAe aval dans laquelle elle est en amont  According to the invention, the airlock of the prAcitA type comprises displacement means adapted to move the upstream door in the closed position between an upstream closed position in which it is in line with the upstream opening, and a downstream closed position in which it is uphill

et proximitA immAdiate de l'ouverture aval.  and immediate proximity to the downstream opening.

Ainsi, selon l' invention, la porte amont qui est mobile entre sa position termAe amont et sa position fermAe aval voisine de la position fermAe de la porte aval, joue le rdle d'un piston poussant les objets hors du sas, garantissant ainsi qu'aucun objet ne reste dans  Thus, according to the invention, the upstream door which is movable between its upstream terminated position and its downstream closed position close to the closed position of the downstream door, plays the role of a piston pushing the objects out of the airlock, thus ensuring that '' no object remains in

le sas.aces.

Un autre inconvAnient du sas du type prAcitA est que, pendant la fermeture de la porte aval, l'utilisateur peut se faire pincer les mains ou que, un utilisateur malveillaot peut introduire un objet dangereux dans le sas quand la porte aval est ouverte ou peut s'y introduire. Aussi, selon un mode de ralisation particulier, la porte amont du sas selon l' invention passe de sa position fermAe aval sa position fermde amont uniquement quand  Another disadvantage of the prAcitA type airlock is that, during the closing of the downstream door, the user can have their hands pinched or that, a malicious user can introduce a dangerous object into the airlock when the downstream door is open or can get into it. Also, according to a particular embodiment, the upstream door of the airlock according to the invention passes from its closed downstream position to its closed upstream position only when

la porte aval est en position fermAe.  the downstream door is in the closed position.

Ainsi, selon ce mode particulier, quand la porte aval vient de se fermer, la porte amont est encore dans sa position fermAe amont dAfinissant un sas de volume sensiblement nul. De ce fait, il est impossible d'introduire un quelconque objet dans le sas partir de la zone aval. I1 n'y a done pas de risque de pincement  Thus, according to this particular mode, when the downstream door has just closed, the upstream door is still in its upstream closed position defining an airlock of substantially zero volume. Therefore, it is impossible to introduce any object into the airlock from the downstream area. There is therefore no risk of pinching

pour l'utilisateur, ni d' intrusion ou de vandalisme.  for the user, no intrusion or vandalism.

le mouvement de la porte amont 5 de sa position amont fermee a sa position fermee aval (figures 16 a 18) est le prolongement de son mouvement entre sa position ouverte  the movement of the upstream door 5 from its closed upstream position to its closed downstream position (Figures 16 to 18) is an extension of its movement between its open position

et sa position amont fermee (figures 15 et 16).  and its closed upstream position (Figures 15 and 16).

Bien evidemment la presente invention n' est pas  Obviously the present invention is not

limitee aux modes de realisation illustres aux figures  limited to the embodiments illustrated in the figures

precedentes, il serait par exemple possible d'avoir un sas de section de passage variable, la porte amont pouvant alors etre constituee de panneaux mobiles les uns par rapport aux autres de sorte que sa section s'adapte a  previous, it would for example be possible to have an airlock with a variable passage section, the upstream door then being able to be made up of panels movable with respect to one another so that its section adapts

celle du sas.that of the airlock.

I1 serait aussi possible d'avoir un sas dans lequel la porte amont se deplace de sa position fermee amont vers sa position fermee aval, la porte aval restart fermee, un mecanisme declenchant alors son ouverture sous la pression ou au contact des objets pousses par la porte amont. Le mecanisme declenchant l'ouverture peut par exemple etre commande par une cellule photoelectrique ou  It would also be possible to have an airlock in which the upstream door moves from its closed upstream position to its closed downstream position, the downstream door restarts closed, a mechanism then triggers its opening under pressure or in contact with objects pushed by the upstream door. The mechanism triggering the opening can for example be controlled by a photoelectric cell or

par un contacteur mecanique.by a mechanical contactor.
