Description

L'invention concerne un dispositif de distribution automatique d'objets sous forme de boîtes, pochettes, tablettes, sachets et analogues empilés verticalement dans un magasin occupant une position verticale en phase de repos et soumis, par une manivelle entraînée en rotation par un élément moteur, à un mouvement pendulaire vers l'arrière autour de tourillons horizontaux coopérant avec l'extrémité supérieure du magasin et solidaires de deux parois latérales d'un carter présentant dans sa face avant une ouverture pour le retrait des objets prélevés dans le magasin par des moyens de prélèvement actionnés par des moyens seconds de commande, ces objets prélevés étant dirigés vers cette ouverture par une paroi inclinée.The invention relates to a device for the automatic distribution of objects in the form of boxes, pouches, tablets, sachets and the like stacked vertically in a store occupying a vertical position in the rest phase and subjected, by a crank driven in rotation by a motor element. , to a pendulum movement backwards around horizontal pins cooperating with the upper end of the magazine and integral with two side walls of a casing having in its front face an opening for the removal of objects taken from the magazine by means sampling actuated by second control means, these sampled objects being directed towards this opening by an inclined wall.

On connaît, par le document GB-A-798 210, un dispositif de distribution automatique d'objets sous forme de boîtes, pochettes, tablettes, sachets et analogues empilés verticalement dans un magasin soumis à un mouvement perpendiculaire et suspendu à son extrémité supérieure à des tourillons horizontaux solidaires de deux parois latérales d'un carter présentant dans sa face avant une ouverture pour le retrait des objets prélevés dans le magasin par des moyens de prélèvement et dirigés vers cette ouverture par une paroi inclinée.Document GB-A-798 210 discloses an automatic device for distributing objects in the form of boxes, pouches, tablets, sachets and the like stacked vertically in a store subjected to a perpendicular movement and suspended at its upper end at horizontal journals integral with two side walls of a casing having in its front face an opening for the removal of objects removed from the store by means of removal and directed towards this opening by an inclined wall.

Ce dispositif connu comporte une pluralité de magasins juxtaposés et pour le prélèvement des objets, on prévoit un sélecteur se déplaçant devant ces magasins en fonction du choix effectué par l'usager. Pour permettre le déplacement latéral de ce sélecteur, l'ensemble des magasins, en position de repos, est incliné vers l'arrière. Il est donc nécessaire que les objets présentent un coefficient de frottement important pour éviter que les objets inférieurs des différents magasins glissent hors des magasins surtout si l'usager confère au dispositif des secousses car le sélecteur ne se trouve en face que d'un seul magasin de l'ensemble des magasins.This known device comprises a plurality of juxtaposed stores and for the removal of objects, there is provided a selector moving in front of these stores according to the choice made by the user. To allow lateral movement of this selector, all the magazines, in the rest position, are tilted backwards. It is therefore necessary that the objects have a high coefficient of friction to avoid that the lower objects of the various stores slip out of the stores especially if the user gives the device jolts because the selector is located opposite only one store of all stores.

On peut pallier à cet inconvénient en diminuant l'inclinaison de repos de l'ensemble des magasins mais ceci n'est possible qu'en conférant aux magasins une grande hauteur, ce qui aug- monterait l'encombrement en hauteur du dispositif et nécessiterait un moteur important pour mouvoir cet ensemble de magasins de grande hauteur.This drawback can be overcome by reducing the rest inclination of all the stores, but this is only possible by giving the stores a great height, which would increase the overall height of the device and would require a an important driver for moving this set of high-rise stores.

On connaît également, par le document WO-A-84/03 425, un dispositif de distribution dont le magasin occupe une position verticale en phase de repos. Pour le prélèvement d'un objet, le magasin basculant est écarté de sa position de repos par une manivelle entraînée en rotation par un élément moteur puis, sous l'effet de son propre poids, le magasin basculant revient à sa position de repos. Les moyens de commande des moyens de prélèvement sont activés en fonction de la position de la manivelle correspondant à la position du magasin. Ces moyens de prélèvement sont un noyau d'un solénoïde sélectionné venant se placer sous l'objet se trouvant le plus bas dans la case sélectionnée du magasin et, au cours du mouvement pendulaire du magasin, pousse sur le chant arrière dudit objet pour l'extraire hors de la case du magasin. Ce noyau est pourvu d'une collerette limitant la pénétration dudit noyau dans la case du magasin.Also known, from document WO-A-84/03 425, is a dispensing device whose magazine occupies a vertical position in the rest phase. For picking up an object, the tilting magazine is moved from its rest position by a crank driven in rotation by a motor element then, under the effect of its own weight, the tilting magazine returns to its rest position. The means for controlling the removal means are activated as a function of the position of the crank corresponding to the position of the magazine. These sampling means are a core of a selected solenoid placed under the object located lowest in the selected box of the store and, during the pendulum movement of the store, pushes on the rear edge of said object for the extract out of the store box. This core is provided with a collar limiting the penetration of said core into the magazine compartment.

Toutefois, ce dispositif de distribution comporte, en fait, un débrayage entre le mécanisme de basculement formé du moteur pourvu de sa manivelle et le magasin basculant. En effet, la manivelle permet seulement d'écarter le magasin basculant de sa position de repos, ledit magasin devant revenir à sa position initiale par le simple fait de son propre poids. Par conséquent, pour que l'objet a extraire soit effectivement expulsé par les moyens de prélèvement, il est nécessaire que le poids du magasin basculant soit relativement important pour éviter que l'objet à prélever reste coincé dans le magasin basculant. Il en résulte un mode de fonctionnement relativement aléatoire tributaire du nombre d'objets qui sont encore dans le magasin.However, this distribution device comprises, in fact, a disengagement between the tilting mechanism formed by the motor provided with its crank and the tilting magazine. Indeed, the crank only allows to move the tilting magazine from its rest position, said magazine having to return to its initial position by the simple fact of its own weight. Consequently, for the object to be extracted to be effectively expelled by the removal means, it is necessary for the weight of the tilting magazine to be relatively large to prevent the object to be picked up from being trapped in the tilting magazine. This results in a relatively random operating mode depending on the number of objects that are still in the store.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients. L'invention telle qu'elle est caractérisée résout le problème consistant à créer un dispositif de distribution automatique d'objets sous forme de boites, pochettes, tablettes, sachets et analogues empilés verticalement dans un magasin occupant une position verticale en phase de repos et soumis, par une manivelle entraînée en rotation par un élément moteur, un mouvement pendulaire vers l'arrière autour de tourillons horizontaux coopérant avec l'extrémité supérieure du magasin et solidaire de deux parois latérales d'un carter présentant dans sa face avant une ouverture pour le retrait des objets prélevés dans le magasin par des moyens de prélèvement actionnés par des moyens seconds de commande, ces objets prélevés étant dirigés vers cette ouverture par une paroi inclinée, dispositif dont les moyens de prélèvement sont une pince solidaire de la paroi interne de la face arrière du carter dont les deux mâchoires, l'une fixe, l'autre mobile, agrippent par leurs pointes effilées le chant arrière de l'objet, lorsque le magasin est incliné vers l'arrière, l'extraction se faisant lors du retour en position verticale du magasin.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks. The invention as characterized solves the problem of creating an automatic device for distributing objects in the form of boxes, pouches, tablets, sachets and the like stacked vertically in a store occupying a vertical position in the resting phase and subject , by a crank driven in rotation by a motor element, a pendular movement backwards around horizontal pins cooperating with the upper end of the magazine and secured to two side walls of a casing having in its front face an opening for the removal of the objects removed from the store by removal means actuated by second control means, these removed objects being directed towards this opening by an inclined wall, device the removal means of which are a clamp secured to the internal wall of the face rear of the casing, the two jaws, one fixed, the other movable, grip their tapered edges with their tapered points era of the object, when the magazine is tilted back, extraction takes place when the magazine returns to the vertical position.

Les avantages obtenus grâce à cette invention consistent essentiellement en ce que seul le fonctionnement du dispositif permet le prélèvement de l'objet, même si ce dernier présente un coefficient de frottement nul tel que des cartes postales glacées ou si l'objet est le dernier objet du magasin.The advantages obtained thanks to this invention essentially consist in that only the operation of the device allows the removal of the object, even if the latter has a zero coefficient of friction such as glossy postcards or if the object is the last object. of the shop.

Avantageusement, ce dernier a une forme générale parallélépipédique. Les' deux parois 12, 13 sont réunies par deux traverses 20, 21 disposées sur la face arrière 19 et par une barre horizontale 22 disposée sur la face avant 16 du magasin 10. La barre horizontale 22 est située à faible distance de l'extrémité inférieure 23 du magasin 10. Cette extrémité inférieure 23 comporte un support 24 constitué de deux éléments de paroi 25, 26 solidaires respectivement des parois verticales 12,13 et perpendiculaires à ces dernières. Ces éléments de paroi 25, 26 sont destinés à supporter les objets 11 empilés dans le magasin 10 comme représentés sur la figure 1.The magazine 10 comprises two opposite flat vertical walls 12, 13 having a section of "U". The wings 14, 15 of the two vertical walls 12, 13 form the front face 16 of the magazine 10 while the wings 17, 18 of the same vertical walls 12, 13 constitute the rear face 19 of the magazine 10. Advantageously, the latter has a shape general parallelepiped. The two walls 12, 13 are joined by two crosspieces 20, 21 arranged on the rear face 19 and by a horizontal bar 22 arranged on the front face 16 of the magazine 10.

Dans ces flasques 28, 29 sont réalisés des alésages 30, 31 dans lesquels on dispose des tourillons horizontaux 32, 33 solidaires des deux parois latérales 34 du carter 2. Ainsi, le magasin 10 est suspendu et peut basculer autour d'un axe d'articulation parallèle à la face avant 3 du carter 2. Comme visible dans la figure 1, le magasin 10 bascule depuis une position de repos verticale représentée en traits pleins dans cette figure jusqu'à une position inclinée vers l'arrière représentée en traits pointillés.At its upper end 27, the magazine 10 has two flanges 28, 29 respectively secured to the vertical walls 12, 13. In these flanges 28, 29 are made bores 30, 31 in which there are horizontal pins 32, 33 integral with the two side walls 34 of the housing 2. Thus, the magazine 10 is suspended and can tilt around an articulation axis parallel to the front face 3 of the housing 2. As visible in FIG. 1, the magazine 10 tilts from a position of vertical rest shown in solid lines in this figure to a rearwardly inclined position shown in dotted lines.

Le magasin 10 comporte à son extrémité inférieure 23 une ouverture avant 35 et une ouverture arrière 36. L'ouverture avant 35 est obtenue en procédant à une découpe des ailes 14, 15. La barre horizontale 22 est à fleur avec le chant supérieur de l'ouverture avant 35. La hauteur de cette ouverture avant 35 est légèrement inférieure à l'épaisseur d'un objet. L'ouverture arrière 36 est obtenue en procédant à une découpe 37, 38 pratiquée dans les ailes 17, 18.The magazine 10 has at its lower end 23 a front opening 35 and a rear opening 36. The front opening 35 is obtained by cutting the wings 14, 15. The horizontal bar 22 is flush with the upper edge of the 'front opening 35. The height of this front opening 35 is slightly less than the thickness of an object. The rear opening 36 is obtained by cutting 37, 38 in the wings 17, 18.

Comme représenté sur la figure 1, le mouvement pendulaire du magasin 10 est provoqué par des premiers moyens de commande. Ces premiers moyens de commande sont une manivelle 39 entraînée en rotation par un élément moteur tel qu'un moteur-réducteur non représenté et une bielle 40. L'une des extrémités 41 est solidaire de la manivelle 39 par un axe d'articulation 42 et l'autre extrémité 43 est reliée par un axe d'articulation 44 à l'une des' parois verticales 12 ou 13 du magasin 10. Cette manivelle 39 est solidaire d'une came 45 qui commande un contacteur 46 fermant le circuit de moyens seconds de commande de moyens de prélèvement.As shown in Figure 1, the pendulum movement of the magazine 10 is caused by first control means. These first control means are a crank 39 driven in rotation by a motor element such as a gear motor not shown and a connecting rod 40. One of the ends 41 is secured to the crank 39 by a hinge pin 42 and the other end 43 is connected by a hinge pin 44 to one of the vertical walls 12 or 13 of the magazine 10. This crank 39 is integral with a cam 45 which controls a contactor 46 closing the circuit of second means ordering of sampling means.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation visible dans les figures 1 à 3, les moyens de prélèvement sont une butée mobile 47 d'un élément en forme d'équerre 48. Cet élément est constitué d'un bras longitudinal 49 disposé horizontalement en position de repos et d'un bras perpendiculaire 50 dirigé vers le bas. L'élément en forme d'équerre 48 pivote autour d'un axe horizontal 51 disposé selon la ligne de rencontre 52 des bras 49 et 50, cette ligne de rencontre 52 étant parallèle aux tourillons 32, 33. L'extrémité inférieure 53 du bras vertical 50 est reliée au noyau 54 d'un électro-aimant 55 par l'intermédiaire d'un élément élastique 56.According to a first embodiment visible in Figures 1 to 3, the removal means are a movable stop 47 of a square-shaped element 48. This element consists of a longitudinal arm 49 arranged horizontally in the rest position and a perpendicular arm 50 directed downwards. The square-shaped element 48 pivots about a horizontal axis 51 arranged along the meeting line 52 of the arms 49 and 50, this meeting line 52 being parallel to the pins 32, 33. The lower end 53 of the arm vertical 50 is connected to the core 54 of an electromagnet 55 by means of an elastic element 56.

L'électro-aimant 55 et l'élément élastique 56 constituent les moyens seconds de commande indiqués ci-dessus. l'électro-aimant 55 est disposé sur une tablette horizontale 57 solidaire de la paroi interne 58 de la face avant 3 du carter 2 et placée sous l'élément en forme d'équerre 48. l'électro-aimant 55 agit sur l'extrémité inférieure 53 du bras vertical 50 pour provoquer la rotation de l'élément en forme d'équerre 48 autour de l'axe horizontal 51.The electromagnet 55 and the elastic element 56 constitute the second control means indicated above. the electromagnet 55 is placed on a horizontal shelf 57 secured to the internal wall 58 of the front face 3 of the casing 2 and placed under the element in the form of a square 48. the electromagnet 55 acts on the lower end 53 of the vertical arm 50 to cause the rotation of the square-shaped element 48 about the horizontal axis 51.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif exécuté selon ce premier mode de réalisation est le suivant: . Lorsque la distribution est commandée, le moteur-réducteur commandant la manivelle 39 se met en marche et fait pivoter le magasin 10 autour des tourillons 32, 33 par l'intermédiaire de l'ensemble bielle 40 - manivelle 39. La rotation de la manivelle 39 entraîne la fermeture du circuit de l'électro-aimant 55 dont le noyau 54 tire alors l'extrémité inférieure 53 du bras vertical 50 vers l'arrière et tend à faire pivoter l'élément en forme d'équerre 48 autour de l'axe horizontal 51. Les ergots 59, 60 situés à l'extrémité du bras longitudinal 49 viennent alors au contact de la surface inférieure des éléments 25, 26 du support 24.The operation of the device executed according to this first embodiment is as follows:. When the distribution is ordered, the gear motor controlling the crank 39 starts and rotates the magazine 10 around the pins 32, 33 by means of the connecting rod 40 - crank 39 assembly. The rotation of the crank 39 causes the solenoid circuit 55 to close, the core 54 of which then pulls the lower end 53 of the vertical arm 50 backwards and tends to rotate the square-shaped element 48 around the axis horizontal 51. The pins 59, 60 located at the end of the longitudinal arm 49 then come into contact with the lower surface of the elements 25, 26 of the support 24.

Le magasin 10 continue à pivoter vers farriè- re et, juste avant qu'il atteigne le maximum de sa course vers l'arrière, le bras longitudinal 49 de l'élément en forme d'équerre 48 n'est plus en contact par t'intermédiaire de ses ergots 59, 60 avec la surface inférieure des éléments 25, 26 du support 24 et vient buter contre la barre horizontale 22.The magazine 10 continues to pivot towards the quarry and, just before it reaches the maximum of its rearward travel, the longitudinal arm 49 of the square-shaped element 48 is no longer in contact by t 'through its lugs 59, 60 with the lower surface of the elements 25, 26 of the support 24 and abuts against the horizontal bar 22.

Le magasin 10 continue sa course en sens inverse et, comme représenté sur la figure 3, le bras longitudinal 49 retient par son extrémité 47 formant la butée mobile robjet 11 qui repose sur les éléments 25, 26 du support 24 en repoussant ainsi l'objet 11 vers l'extérieur du magasin 10 alors que les objets disposés au-dessus sont maintenus en position par les ailes 17, 18 de la face arrière 19 du magasin 10. Peu de temps avant que le magasin 10 reprenne sa position verticale, le courant alimentant l'électro-aimant 55 est coupé par l'intermédiaire de la came 45 agissant sur le contacteur 46 et le bras longitudinal 49 tend à pivoter vers le bas.The magazine 10 continues its course in the opposite direction and, as shown in FIG. 3, the longitudinal arm 49 retains by its end 47 forming the mobile robjet stopper 11 which rests on the elements 25, 26 of the support 24, thus pushing the object away 11 towards the outside of the magazine 10 while the objects arranged above are held in position by the wings 17, 18 of the rear face 19 of the magazine 10. Shortly before the magazine 10 resumes its vertical position, the current supplying the electromagnet 55 is cut by means of the cam 45 acting on the contactor 46 and the longitudinal arm 49 tends to pivot downwards.

Les ergots 59, 60 viennent en contact avec la paroi supérieure des éléments 25, 26 du support 24 puis le magasin 10 parvient en une position pratiquement verticale et la mouvement des éléments 25, 26 libère les ergots 59, 60 du bras longitudinal 49 qui repasse alors en position horizontale.The pins 59, 60 come into contact with the upper wall of the elements 25, 26 of the support 24 then the magazine 10 reaches a practically vertical position and the movement of the elements 25, 26 releases the pins 59, 60 of the longitudinal arm 49 which passes then in a horizontal position.

A ce moment, l'objet 11 est extrait du magasin 10 et tombe sur la paroi inclinée 8. L'objet 11 glisse ensuite sur cette paroi inclinée 8 vers l'ouverture 6 où il peut être prélevé.At this moment, the object 11 is extracted from the magazine 10 and falls on the inclined wall 8. The object 11 then slides on this inclined wall 8 towards the opening 6 where it can be removed.

Selon un second mode de réalisation visible dans les figures 4 et 5, les moyens de prélèvement sont une butée mobile constituée par un chariot 61 se déplaçant dans des glissières 62 solidaires de la face inférieure des éléments 25, 26 du support 24 du magasin 10. Ce chariot 61 est solidaire par un axe d'articulation 63 à une des extrémités 64 d'un bras 65 dont l'autre extrémité 66 est reliée par un axe d'articulation 67 à la paroi interne 58 de la face avant 3 du carter 2. Les glissières 62 dépassent d'une certaine longueur la face avant 16 du magasin 10. Le chariot 61 sert de support à un électro-aimant 68 dont le noyau 69 comporte une lame 70 mobile verticalement. Lorsque l'électro-aimant 68 est excité par l'action de la came 45 sur le contacteur 46, la lame 70 fait saillie vers le haut au-delà des éléments 25, 26 du support 24 sur une hauteur légèrement inférieure à l'épaisseur de l'objet 11.According to a second embodiment visible in FIGS. 4 and 5, the removal means are a movable stop constituted by a carriage 61 moving in slides 62 secured to the underside of the elements 25, 26 of the support 24 of the magazine 10. This carriage 61 is secured by a hinge pin 63 to one of the ends 64 of an arm 65, the other end 66 of which is connected by a hinge pin 67 to the internal wall 58 of the front face 3 of the casing 2 The slides 62 protrude a certain length from the front face 16 of the magazine 10. The carriage 61 serves as a support for an electromagnet 68 whose core 69 comprises a blade 70 movable vertically. When the electromagnet 68 is excited by the action of the cam 45 on the contactor 46, the blade 70 projects upwards beyond the elements 25, 26 of the support 24 over a height slightly less than the thickness of object 11.

La longueur du bras 65 est telle que lorsque le magasin 10 pivote vers l'arrière, le chariot 61 suivant ce mouvement, le noyau 69 de l'électro- aimant 68 se trouve à l'extérieur du magasin 10.The length of the arm 65 is such that when the magazine 10 pivots backwards, the carriage 61 following this movement, the core 69 of the electromagnet 68 is located outside the magazine 10.

Lorsque le circuit de l'électro-aimant 68 est fermé, la lame 70 se dresse vers le haut. Lorsque le magasin 10 reprend sa course vers le bas, la lame 70 retient l'objet 11 disposé sur les éléments 25, 26 du support 24. Le circuit de l'électro-aimant 68 est maintenu fermé jusqu'à ce que le magasin 10 revienne en position verticale, l'objet 11 étant à ce moment là libéré du magasin 10.When the circuit of the electromagnet 68 is closed, the blade 70 rises upwards. When the magazine 10 resumes its downward movement, the blade 70 retains the object 11 disposed on the elements 25, 26 of the support 24. The circuit of the electromagnet 68 is kept closed until the magazine 10 returns to the vertical position, the object 11 being then released from the magazine 10.

Selon un troisième mode de réalisation visible dans les figures 6 et 7, les objets 11 ne sont plus poussés hors du magasin 10 mais ils sont retirés dudit magasin 10. Selon ce mode de réalisation, les moyens de prélèvement sont une pince 71. Celle-ci est constituée d'une mâchoire fixe 72 solidaire de la paroi interne 73 de la face arrière 74 du carter 2. Cette mâchoire fixe 72 est pratiquement horizontale et comporte une pointe effilée 75 pour faciliter une séparation de l'objet inférieur 111 de l'objet supérieur 112. Cette pince 71 est également constituée d'une mâchoire 76 mobile verticalement et solidaire du noyau 77 d'un électroaimant 78 maintenu par une tablette horizontale 79 fixée sur la paroi interne 73 de la face arrière 74 du carter 2. Cette mâchoire mobile 76 présente également une pointe effilée 80.According to a third embodiment visible in FIGS. 6 and 7, the objects 11 are no longer pushed out of the magazine 10 but they are removed from said magazine 10. According to this embodiment, the removal means are a clamp 71. This ci consists of a fixed jaw 72 integral with the internal wall 73 of the rear face 74 of the casing 2. This fixed jaw 72 is practically horizontal and has a tapered tip 75 to facilitate separation of the lower object 11 1 from the superior object 11 2 . This clamp 71 also consists of a jaw 76 movable vertically and integral with the core 77 of an electromagnet 78 held by a horizontal tablet 79 fixed to the internal wall 73 of the rear face 74 of the casing 2. This movable jaw 76 also has a sharp point 80.

Lorsque le magasin 10 bascule vers l'arrière, les deux pointes effilées 75 et 80 des deux mâchoires 72 et 76 de la pince 71 viennent se placer de part et d'autre du chant arrière 81 de l'objet 111. L'électroaimant 78 est excité par l'action de la came 45 sur le contacteur 46, le noyau 77 s'élève et la mâchoire mobile 76 coopère avec la mâchoire fixe 72 pour réaliser le pincement du chant arrière 81 de l'objet 111 mais sans écraser ce dernier.When the magazine 10 tips backwards, the two tapered points 75 and 80 of the two jaws 72 and 76 of the clamp 71 are placed on either side of the rear edge 81 of the object 11 1 . The electromagnet 78 is excited by the action of the cam 45 on the contactor 46, the core 77 rises and the movable jaw 76 cooperates with the fixed jaw 72 to pinch the rear edge 81 of the object 11 1 but without overwriting the latter.

Lorsque le magasin 10 reprend sa course vers le bas, la pince 71 retient l'objet 111 disposé sur les éléments 25, 26 du support 24. Le circuit de l'électro-aimant 78 est maintenu fermé jusqu'à ce que le magasin 10 revienne en position verticale. Le circuit est interrompu à ce moment là, la pince 71 s'ouvre par suite de la descente de la mâchoire mobile 76 et l'objet 111 libéré tombe sur la paroi inclinée 8 et glisse vers l'ouverture 6.When the magazine 10 resumes its downward movement, the clamp 71 retains the object 11 1 disposed on the elements 25, 26 of the support 24. The circuit of the electromagnet 78 is kept closed until the magazine 10 returns to the vertical position. The circuit is interrupted at this time, the clamp 71 opens as a result of the descent of the movable jaw 76 and the released object 11 1 falls on the inclined wall 8 and slides towards the opening 6.
