Un agencement de barrière de ce type est connu par le document EP-0 274 352. Il présente l'inconvénient majeur que le dispositif d'entraînement présente une structure complexe et encombrante comportant par exemple une tige filetée entraînée en rotation par un moteur électrique et engrènant un écrou non rotatif qui, sous l'effet de la rotation de la tige, effectue un mouvement axial rectiligne de va-et-vient, qui provoque le pivotement de la barrière, par l'intermédiaire d'une tringle articulée à l'écrou et au dispositif de barrière.A barrier arrangement of this type is known from document EP-0 274 352.

L'invention sera décrite ci-après, à titre d'exemple, dans son application à un agencement de barrière pour zone de parking pour véhicule automobile.The invention will be described below, by way of example, in its application to a barrier arrangement for a parking area for a motor vehicle.
La figure 1 montre que l'agencement de barrière selon l'invention se présente sous forme d'un boîtier plat parallélépipédique A comportant un couvercle 1 et une plaque de fond 2 et auquel est articulé un dispositif de barrière B. Le boîtier est implanté dans le sol de la zone de parking, la surface supérieure étant dégagée et au niveau du sol.FIG. 1 shows that the barrier arrangement according to the invention is in the form of a flat rectangular box A comprising a
Comme il ressort des figures 2 à 4, le dispositif de barrière est réalisé sous forme d'un arceau qui est monté pivotant, à l'aide d'un axe 3 constituant un premier dispositif pivot, dans des paliers 4 fixés sur la plaque de fond 2, de façon à être pivotants entre une position escamotée dans le sol et une position de barrage dans laquelle il bloque l'accès à une zone de parking réservé. L'axe 3 de l'arceau B comporte dans sa partie axialement médiane une partie cylindrique excentrée 5 qui constitue une came d'actionnement en pivotement de l'arceau.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 to 4, the barrier device is produced in the form of a hoop which is pivotally mounted, using a pin 3 constituting a first pivot device, in bearings 4 fixed on the
L'agencement comporte aussi un dispositif d'entraînement en pivotement de l'arceau, qui comporte essentiellement un levier à deux bras 6 de longueurs différentes qui s'étend longitudinalement dans le boîtier. Ce levier comporte un premier bras plus court 7 qui coopère avec l'excentrique 5 de l'axe de pivotement de l'arceau B et un bras long 8 dont l'extrémité porte un dispositif à galets 9 dont les deux galets 10 sont montés sur un axe commun perpendiculaire au sens longitudinal de levier, de part et d'autre de celui-ci. Les galets sont en contact de roulement avec une surface de rample inclinée 12 monté sur le fond 2 qui présente un angle d'inclinaison a par rapport à une ligne perpendiculaire au fond du boîtier 2, qui est relativement faible. Cette surface de rampe est inclinée faiblement dans le sens inverse dans sa zone proche de fond pour produire un effet de blocage du levier lorsque celui-ci occupe sa position enfoncée représentée à la figure 4.The arrangement also comprises a device for pivoting the hoop, which essentially comprises a lever with two
Le levier 6 comporte un dispositif pivot 13 constituant un deuxième dispositif pivot, qui, dans l'exemple représenté, comporte deux galets 14 montés rotatifs sur un même axe perpendiculaire à l'axe du levier et situés de part et d'autre de ce dernier. La position axiale du dispositif pivot 13 est fixe sur le levier 6 car il détermine les deux bras 7 et 8 du levier. Ce dernier prend appui sur la surface supérieure de fond du boîtier 2 par l'intermédiaire de ces galets 14. La position axiale du dispositif pivot 13 est variable en position axiale sur le levier 6, due à un évidement oblong 16 pratiqué dans le levier et dans lequel l'axe des deux galets 14 est déplaçable et arrêtable à l'aide de tout moyen connu approprié. Le bras court 7 du levier 6 porte sur sa surface supérieure d'appui de l'excentrique 5 de l'axe de pivotement 3 de l'arceau B un épaulement 19 formé par la face frontale d'une pièce rapportée 20 dont la position axiale sur le bras de levier 7 est réglable grâce à un évidement axial oblong 21 pratiqué dans la pièce 20, traversé par une vis de solidarisation par serrage 22.The
Le dispositif d'actionnement du levier 6 comprend essentiellement, dans l'exemple de réalisation représenté, un moteur 25 à arbre rotatif 26. Sur l'extrémité libre de ce dernier est monté solidaire en rotation à une de ses extrémités, un bras radial 27 dont l'extrémité libre porte un tourillon sur lequel est monté librement en rotation un galet 28 qui s'étend parallèlement à l'axe 26 et vient en appui sur la surface supérieure de l'extrémité du bras long 8 du levier 6, dans la partie proche de la rampe 12.The actuating device of the
Pour compléter la description de l'agencement de barrière selon l'invention, on constate qu'on peut prévoir sur le bras long 8 du levier 6 des contrepoids indiqués schématiquement en 30 qui sont adaptés pour que la force d'actionnement du levier 6 en vue de son pivotement puisse être très faible. Pour pouvoir ajuster l'ensemble à son état d'équilibre, la position axiale du contrepoids 30 pourrait être réglable sur le bras de levier 8.To complete the description of the barrier arrangement according to the invention, it can be seen that we can provide on the
Le dispositif d'alimentation en énergie électrique est enfermé dans le boîtier et comporte avantageusement une batterie rechargeable, schématiquement indiquée en 31 et un capteur d'énergie solaire indiqué en 32 sur la figure 1.The electrical energy supply device is enclosed in the housing and advantageously comprises a rechargeable battery, diagrammatically indicated at 31 and a solar energy sensor indicated at 32 in FIG. 1.
L'agencement de barrière de parking selon l'invention peut être télécommandé, par exemple à l'aide d'une télécommande radio à distance. Le dispositif électrique comporte à cette fin un récepteur (non représenté) qui est également alimenté en énergie électrique à partir du capteur solaire de façon à être en service par exemple une seconde sur trois. A cette fin il pourrait être alimenté en énergie électrique pendant une seconde tous les trois secondes. L'énergie produite par le capteur solaire pendant les trois secondes où le récepteur est hors service, pourrait être utilisée pour recharger la batterie constituant la source d'énergie électrique du moteur 25.The parking barrier arrangement according to the invention can be remote-controlled, for example using a radio remote control. To this end, the electrical device comprises a receiver (not shown) which is also supplied with electrical energy from the solar collector so as to be in service for example every second out of three. To this end it could be supplied with electrical energy for one second every three seconds. The energy produced by the solar collector during the three seconds when the receiver is out of service, could be used to recharge the battery constituting the electric energy source of the
Le circuit d'alimentation en énergie électrique du moteur comporte un fusible à deux états stables, qui est connu en soi et fonctionne comme un interrupteur qui est fermé à l'état de fonctionnement normal du moteur et s'ouvre lorsque le courant d'excitation du moteur dépasse une valeur de seuil prédéterminée. Cette valeur de seuil est détectable sous forme d'un échauffement au-delà d'une température prédéterminée produite par le courant d'excitation du moteur. Un tel échauffement avec interruption du circuit d'alimentation en énergie électrique du moteur se produira lorsque l'arceau, lors de son mouvement de pivotement, rencontre un obstacle lui opposant une force de réaction dépassant une valeur prédéterminée. Le fusible bi-stable, qui vient d'être décrit et est monté dans le circuit d'alimentation en énergie du moteur 25 accomplit en outre la fonction de butée de fin de course du moteur. En effet, lorsque le levier occupe la position représentée à la figure 4, le mouvement angulaire de l'arbre rotatif 26 du moteur 25 s'arrête, ce que le moteur 25 détecte sous forme d'un couple de réaction dépassant la valeur de seuil prédéterminée sus-mentionnée et ce qui provoque l'ouverture du fusible interrupteur. Comme le montre la figure 3, lorsque l'arceau occupe sa position escamotée, le galet 28 du dispositif d'actionnement du levier porte contre la surface interne du boîtier. Ainsi lorsque le levier 6 revient à partir de sa position de relèvement de l'arceau (figure 4) dans la position escamotée, le mouvement angulaire de l'arbre 26 du moteur 25 est arrêté lorsque le galet 28 vient en appui contre la surface interne du boîtier, ce qui provoque à nouveau l'ouverture du fusible interrupteur en raison de l'échauffement dû à l'augmentation du couple de réaction qu'oppose le couvercle au mouvement angulaire de l'arbre de sortie 26 du moteur.The electrical power supply circuit of the motor comprises a fuse with two stable states, which is known per se and functions as a switch which is closed in the normal operating state of the motor and opens when the excitation current of motor exceeds a predetermined threshold value. This threshold value is detectable in the form of overheating beyond a predetermined temperature produced by the excitation current of the motor. Such heating with interruption of the electric power supply circuit of the motor will occur when the hoop, during its pivoting movement, encounters an obstacle opposing a reaction force exceeding a predetermined value. The bi-stable fuse, which has just been described and is mounted in the power supply circuit of the
On décrira ci-après brièvement le fonctionnement de l'agencement de barrière selon l'invention, qui vient d'être décrit et est représenté aux figures qui dans son principe ressort déjà de ce qui précède.The operation of the barrier arrangement according to the invention, which has just been described and is shown in the figures, which in principle is already apparent from the foregoing, will briefly be described below.
Lorsque le conducteur du véhicule automobile, qui est autorisé à stationner son véhicule sur l'aire de parking qu'équipe l'agencement selon l'invention, s'approche de cette zone, il émet à l'aide de son appareil de télécommande un signal dont la durée doit être suffisamment longue pour coïncider avec une période pendant laquelle le récepteur est alimenté en énergie à partir du capteur solaire. Etant donné que dans l'exemple représenté le récepteur est alimenté pendant une seconde sur trois, le conducteur est sûr que le récepteur reçoit le signal émis par l'appareil de télécommande si la durée d'actionnement de cet appareil dépasse la durée de quatre secondes. En réponse à la réception de ce signal de télécommande, le récepteur produit un signal entraînant l'alimentation en énergie électrique du moteur à partir de la batterie. Le moteur sera ainsi alimenté en énergie pour qu'il puisse provoquer le pivotement du levier 6 de sa position de relèvement de l'arceau, représenté à la figure 4 dans la position indiquée à la figure 3 dans laquelle l'arceau dégage l'accès à l'aire de parking. Comme il a été décrit plus haut, dans cette position le fusible interrupteur ouvre le circuit d'alimentation du moteur. Si après le refroidissement le fusible interrupteur ferme à nouveau le circuit d'alimentation, l'alimentation du moteur n'est pas reprise sans nouveau signal préalable en provenance du récepteur. Le même cycle d'opération lorsque le conducteur autorisé souhaite plus tard de commander le relèvement de l'arceau de barrière, il actionnera le mouvement de pivotement approprié s'effectuera à la suite d'un signal de télécommande approprié jusqu'à l'ouverture du circuit d'excitation du moteur quand le levier atteint la position représentée à la figure 4. Le levier est bloqué dans cette position par l'action concomittante de la partie de verrouillage 17 de la rampe 12 et l'arrêt de l'arbre moteur dans la position angulaire de fin de course.When the driver of the motor vehicle, who is authorized to park his vehicle in the parking area provided by the arrangement according to the invention, approaches this area, he emits using his remote control device a signal whose duration must be long enough to coincide with a period during which the receiver is supplied with energy from the solar collector. Since in the example shown the receiver is powered for one second out of three, the driver is sure that the receiver receives the signal emitted by the remote control device if the duration of actuation of this device exceeds the duration of four seconds. In response to the reception of this remote control signal, the receiver produces a signal causing the electric power supply to the motor from the battery. The motor will thus be supplied with energy so that it can cause the
Si pendant un mouvement de pivotement l'arceau rencontre un obstacle sur sa course, il est arrêté immédiatement dans sa position de pivotement sous l'effet du fusible interrupteur. En réponse à un nouveau signal de télécommande, le moteur tentera de ramener l'arceau dans la position de départ. Si pendant ce mouvement l'arceau est opposé à un autre obstacle, il s'arrête immédiatement et un nouveau signal de télécommande tentera de ramener l'arceau dans la position visée initialement. Si l'obstacle initial est toujours présent ou si au cours de cette course un autre obstacle s'oppose à l'arceau, il en résulte à nouveau l'arrêt immédiat du mouvement de pivotement de l'arceau. L'organigramme de la figure 5 illustre ce qui vient d'être décrit et la logique de commande du dispositif électrique de l'agencement selon l'invention, qui en est la cause.If, during a pivoting movement, the roll bar encounters an obstacle in its course, it is immediately stopped in its pivoting position under the effect of the switch fuse. In response to a new remote control signal, the motor will attempt to return the roll bar to the starting position. If during this movement the arch is opposed to another obstacle, it immediately stops and a new remote control signal will try to bring the arch back to the position originally intended. If the initial obstacle is still present or if during this race another obstacle opposes the arch, this again results in the immediate stopping of the pivoting movement of the arch. The flowchart of Figure 5 illustrates what has just been described and the control logic of the electrical device of the arrangement according to the invention, which is the cause.
Après la description de la structure de l'agencement de barrière selon l'invention, de son fonctionnement et, à travers celui-ci, du circuit de commande de l'agencement, on comprend aisément les avantages que procure la présente invention. Ces avantages résident notamment dans la structure très simple et extrêmement peu encombrante de cet agencement. En raison de la composante de déplacement axial du levier, qui se superpose au mouvement de pivotement, l'angle de pivotement peut être maintenu à une valeur relativement faible, ce qui réduit la hauteur du boîtier à une valeur très limitée. L'utilisation du levier, le cas échéant équipée d'un contrepoids, permet de réduire à une valeur relativement faible la force nécessaire pour l'actionnement en pivotement du levier. En raison de ce fait, le moteur consomme peu d'énergie et l'agencement peut être entièrement autonome, lorsque l'on ajoute le capteur d'énergie solaire. Grâce à l'utilisation du fusible interrupteur à deux états, l'agencement selon l'invention ne nécessite pas de moyens de butée de fin de course particulières et d'arrêt spécifique en cas d'obstacle. Toutes ces fonctions sont accomplies par ce fusible interrupteur monté dans le circuit d'alimentation du moteur.After describing the structure of the barrier arrangement according to the invention, its operation and, through it, the control circuit of the arrangement, it is easy to understand the advantages which the present invention provides. These advantages reside in particular in the very simple and extremely space-saving structure of this arrangement. Due to the axial displacement component of the lever, which is superimposed on the pivoting movement, the pivoting angle can be kept at a relatively small value, which reduces the height of the housing to a very limited value. The use of the lever, if necessary equipped with a counterweight, makes it possible to reduce the force required for pivoting actuation of the lever to a relatively low value. Due to this fact, the motor consumes little energy and the arrangement can be completely autonomous, when adding the solar energy collector. Thanks to the use of the two-state switch fuse, the arrangement according to the invention does not require any particular end-of-travel stop means and specific stop means in the event of an obstacle. All these functions are accomplished by this switch fuse mounted in the motor supply circuit.
Bien entendu de diverses modifications peuvent être apportées à l'agencement qui vient d'être décrit et est représenté. Ainsi le moteur électrique pourrait être remplacé par tout autre dispositif d'actionnement approprié, tel que par exemple un électro-aimant par exemple à solénoïde à deux positions stables. On comprend aisément que l'agencement peut également fonctionner sur commande manuelle, en cas d'absence ou défaillance du dispositif d'actionnement moteur.Of course, various modifications can be made to the arrangement which has just been described and is shown. Thus the electric motor could be replaced by any other suitable actuation device, such as for example an electromagnet, for example with a solenoid with two stable positions. It is easily understood that the arrangement can also operate on manual control, in the event of the absence or failure of the motor actuation device.
Pour faire en sorte que l'arceau, dans sa position relevée, s'efface lorsqu'une force supérieure à un seuil prédéterminé agit sur celui-ci, on pourrait relier l'arceau à chaque extrémité de ces bras pivotants à l'axe 3 à l'aide d'une goupille auto-séquante dont le diamètre sera dimensionné en fonction de ce seuil.To ensure that the arch, in its raised position, disappears when a force greater than a predetermined threshold acts on it, we could connect the arch at each end of these pivoting arms to the axis 3 using a self-sequencing pin whose diameter will be sized according to this threshold.
L'invention est applicable de façon générale à tous les agencements comportant un levier et dispositif pivotant. Par exemple l'invention est applicable à des agencements de type monte-charge comportant un dispositif tel qu'une plate-forme qui est amenée à se déplacer entre une position abaissée et une position relevée. Dans ce cas, la plate-forme sera articulée à l'extrémité libre du dispositif à bras pivotant B et à ce dernier sera associé un deuxième bras ou dispositif pivotant parallèle qui forme avec le premier un parallélogramme assurant que la plate-forme exécute un mouvement en translation. L'invention pourrait aussi être appliquée à une benne de camion.The invention is generally applicable to all arrangements comprising a lever and pivoting device. For example, the invention is applicable to arrangements of the freight elevator type comprising a device such as a platform which is caused to move between a lowered position and a raised position. In this case, the platform will be articulated at the free end of the device with pivoting arm B and to the latter will be associated a second arm or parallel pivoting device which forms with the first a parallelogram ensuring that the platform performs a movement. in translation. The invention could also be applied to a truck tipper.
