Description

Outillage destiné à soulever un véhicule  Tools for lifting a vehicle
L'invention concerne un outillage destiné à soulever un véhicule par rapport à un plan de référence sur lequel le véhicule est destiné à se déplacer. The invention relates to a tool for lifting a vehicle with respect to a reference plane on which the vehicle is intended to move.
De nombreux outillages appelés crics existent, notamment dans le domaine automobile. Un cric, fourni avec le véhicule, permet notamment de changer une roue, par exemple en cas de crevaison. Un modèle très répandu de cric comprend classiquement plusieurs bras mobiles en rotation les uns par rapport aux autres. Les bras sont agencés en forme de losange et un système à vis disposé horizontalement permet de modifier la longueur d'une des diagonales du losange. La longueur de l'autre diagonale évolue en sens inverse et permet de soulever le véhicule par rapport au sol. Ce type de cric demande un temps de manœuvre relativement long.  Many tools called jacks exist, especially in the automotive field. A jack, supplied with the vehicle, allows in particular to change a wheel, for example in case of puncture. A widely used model of jack conventionally comprises several movable arms in rotation relative to each other. The arms are arranged in the shape of a diamond and a horizontally arranged screw system makes it possible to modify the length of one of the diagonals of the rhombus. The length of the other diagonal moves in the opposite direction and can lift the vehicle from the ground. This type of jack requires a relatively long maneuvering time.
Des outillages plus conséquents ont été développés pour une utilisation en atelier. On trouve par exemple des outillages comprenant un vérin hydraulique ou pneumatique et permettant de soulever directement le véhicule ou par l'intermédiaire d'un système de renvoi d'angle. Ce type d'outillage est beaucoup plus encombrant et beaucoup plus onéreux qu'un cric embarqué.  More important tools have been developed for use in the workshop. For example, there are tools comprising a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder and allowing the vehicle to be lifted directly or by means of an angle gear system. This type of tool is much more bulky and much more expensive than an onboard jack.
De façon générale, les outillages connus possèdent de nombreuses pièces mobiles qui alourdissent l'outillage, le rendent complexe et coûteux et qui peuvent également être source de panne.  In general, the known tools have many moving parts that weigh down the tools, make it complex and expensive and can also be a source of failure.
L'invention vise à pallier tout ou partie des problèmes cités plus haut en proposant un outillage beaucoup plus simple destiné à soulever un véhicule. En fonctionnement l'outillage selon l'invention est monobloc, c'est- à-dire sans pièce mobile. The invention aims to overcome all or part of the problems mentioned above by providing a much simpler tool for lifting a vehicle. In operation the tool according to the invention is monobloc, that is to say without moving parts.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un outillage destiné à soulever un véhicule par rapport à un plan de référence sur lequel le véhicule est destiné à se déplacer, caractérisé en ce qu'il est formé d'une pièce monobloc possédant une branche s'étendant essentiellement selon un axe principal, destinée à venir se placer entre le véhicule et le plan de référence et à être manœuvrée par un opérateur sensiblement dans un mouvement de rotation autour de l'axe principal de la branche, et en que dans une section de la branche perpendiculaire à l'axe principal et s'étendant le long de l'axe principal, on définit deux distances hors tout D1 et D2 décalée angulairement l'une de l'autre et en ce que la première distance D1 est inférieure à la seconde distance D2, la distance D1 étant destinée à être inférieure à une distance D séparant le véhicule du plan de référence et la distance D2 étant destinée à être supérieure à la distance D. For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a tool intended to lift a vehicle with respect to a reference plane on which the vehicle is intended to move, characterized in that it is formed of a single piece having a branch extending essentially along a main axis, intended to be placed between the vehicle and the reference plane and to be maneuvered by an operator substantially in a rotational movement about the main axis of the branch, and that in a section of the branch perpendicular to the main axis and extending along the main axis, two distances D1 and D2 are defined angularly offset from one another and in that the first distance D1 is smaller than the second distance D2, the distance D1 being intended to be less than a distance D separating the vehicle from the reference plane and the distance D2 being intended to be greater than the distance D.
Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, l'outillage comprend une poignée démontable de la branche et permettant dans une position montée la rotation de la branche autour de son axe principal. La poignée et la branche comprennent des éléments magnétiques coopérant entre eux pour maintenir la poignée et la branche dans une position démontée.  In an advantageous embodiment, the tooling comprises a removable handle of the branch and allowing in a mounted position the rotation of the branch about its main axis. The handle and the branch comprise magnetic elements cooperating with each other to hold the handle and the branch in a disassembled position.
L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée d'un mode de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple, description illustrée par le dessin joint dans lequel : The invention will be better understood and other advantages will appear on reading the detailed description of an embodiment given by way of example, a description illustrated by the attached drawing in which:

L'outillage selon l'invention peut être mis en œuvre pour tout véhicule se déplaçant par rapport à un plan de référence tel que le sol. Le véhicule peut se déplacer par exemple au moyen de roue ou de jambes articulées. Le véhicule comprend une surface plane inférieure parallèle au plan de référence et l'outillage permet de soulever cette surface en prenant appui sur le plan de référence. The tool according to the invention can be implemented for any vehicle moving relative to a reference plane such as the ground. The vehicle can move for example by means of wheel or articulated legs. The vehicle comprises a flat lower surface parallel to the reference plane and tooling allows to lift this surface by drawing on the reference plane.

La jupe 7 comprend une première articulation 12 s'apparentant à un genou, entre une jambe 7a et une cuisse 7b. Une deuxième articulation 13 s'apparentant à une hanche est montée entre le torse 2 et la cuisse 7b. Ces deux articulations 12 et 13 sont des liaisons pivots motorisées autour d'un axe de rotation. L'axe de rotation Xa de l'articulation 12 et l'axe de rotation Xb de l'articulation 13 sont sensiblement parallèles à un axe reliant les deux épaules du robot, permettant d'incliner le robot vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière.  The skirt 7 comprises a first hinge 12 resembling a knee, between a leg 7a and a thigh 7b. A second articulation 13 resembling a hip is mounted between the torso 2 and the thigh 7b. These two joints 12 and 13 are motorized pivot links about an axis of rotation. The axis of rotation Xa of the hinge 12 and the axis of rotation Xb of the hinge 13 are substantially parallel to an axis connecting the two shoulders of the robot, for tilting the robot forward or towards the back.
La jupe 7 comprend en sa base un tripode 14 permettant de déplacer le robot 10. Le tripode 14 comprend trois roues 15, 1 6 et 17 articulées par rapport au tripode. Un exemple de roue pouvant être mis en œuvre est décrit dans la demande de brevet publiée sous le n° FR 2 989 935 et déposé au nom de la demanderesse.

Tooling 20 is formed of a single piece having a branch 23 extending substantially along a main axis 24 perpendicular to the plane of Figures 2a and 2b. The tooling 20 is intended to be operated by the operator substantially in a rotational movement about the main axis 24 of the branch 23.
Sur la figure 2a, les roues 15, 1 6 et 17 sont toutes en contact avec le plan de référence 21 et sur la figure 2b, la roue 15 est soulevée. Entre les deux figures, la branche 23 a été tournée autour de son axe principal 24 d'environ 90°.  In Figure 2a, the wheels 15, 1 6 and 17 are all in contact with the reference plane 21 and in Figure 2b, the wheel 15 is raised. Between the two figures, the branch 23 has been turned around its main axis 24 by about 90 °.
La figure 3 représente un coupe la branche 23 dans un plan perpendiculaire à son axe principal 24. Afin de soulever le tripode 14, la branche 23 dispose d'une forme particulière. Plus précisément, dans une section de la branche 23 perpendiculaire à l'axe principal 24, on définit deux distances hors tout D1 et D2 décalée angulairement l'une de l'autre. La première distance D1 est inférieure à la seconde distance D2. Les distances D1 et D2 sont définies en fonction d'une distance D séparant la plan de référence 21 de la surface 22 lorsque les trois roues sont posées sur le plan de référence 21 . Cette distance D représente la garde au sol du robot 10. La distance D est perpendiculaire au plan de référence 21 . La distance D1 est inférieure à la distance D et la distance D2 est supérieure à la distance D. Ainsi l'opérateur peut introduire la branche 23 sous la surface 22 en conservant la distance D1 sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan de référence 21 . La différence entre les deux distances D1 et D permet un coulissement libre de la branche 23 sous le robot 10. En opérant une rotation de la branche 23 autour de son axe principal 24, l'opérateur amène la distance D2 perpendiculaire au plan de référence 21 . La distance D2 étant supérieure à la garde au sol, le robot 10 est soulevé au niveau du point de contact entre la branche 23 et la surface 22. La section de la branche 23 dans laquelle on retrouve les distances D1 et D2 s'étend le long de l'axe principal 24 sur une longueur suffisante pour soulever le robot 10. Figure 3 shows a branch section 23 in a plane perpendicular to its main axis 24. In order to lift the tripod 14, the branch 23 has a particular shape. More specifically, in a section of the branch 23 perpendicular to the main axis 24, two distances D1 and D2 are defined angularly offset from one another. The first distance D1 is less than the second distance D2. The distances D1 and D2 are defined as a function of a distance D separating the reference plane 21 from the surface 22 when the three wheels are placed on the reference plane 21. This distance D represents the ground clearance of the robot 10. The distance D is perpendicular to the reference plane 21. The distance D1 is smaller than the distance D and the distance D2 is greater than the distance D. Thus the operator can introduce the branch 23 under the surface 22 while keeping the distance D1 substantially perpendicular to the reference plane 21. The difference between the two distances D1 and D allows free sliding of the branch 23 under the robot 10. By rotating the branch 23 around its main axis 24, the operator brings the distance D2 perpendicular to the reference plane 21 . The distance D2 is greater than the ground clearance, the robot 10 is raised at the point of contact between the branch 23 and the surface 22. The section of the branch 23 in which one finds the distances D1 and D2 extends along the main axis 24 for a length sufficient to lift the robot 10.
Le décalage angulaire entre les deux distances hors tout D1 et D2 peut être quelconque tout en restant inférieur à 180°. Dans l'exemple représenté, les distances D1 et D2 sont sensiblement perpendiculaires l'une de l'autre.  The angular offset between the two overall distances D1 and D2 can be any while remaining less than 180 °. In the example shown, the distances D1 and D2 are substantially perpendicular to each other.
Avantageusement, afin d'améliorer la stabilité du robot 10 lorsqu'il est soulevé, lorsque l'opérateur soulève le robot 10, au cours de la rotation de la branche 23, il est possible de faire passer le robot 10 par un point haut puis de le faire redescendre légèrement au-delà de ce point haut afin d'éviter que le robot 10 ne retombe sur ses roues de lui-même. A cet effet, dans la section de la branche où sont définies les distances D1 et D2, on définit une troisième distance hors tout Dmax, décalée angulairement de la distance D1 plus faiblement que la distance D2. La distance Dmax est supérieure à la distance D2. Advantageously, in order to improve the stability of the robot 10 when it is lifted, when the operator lifts the robot 10, during the rotation of the branch 23, it is possible to make the robot 10 pass through a high point then to make it go down slightly beyond this high point to avoid that the robot 10 does not fall back on its wheels itself. For this purpose, in the section of the branch where the distances D1 and D2 are defined, a third overall distance Dmax is defined, angularly offset from the distance D1 more weakly than the distance D2. The distance Dmax is greater than the distance D2.
Les angles de décalage entre les distances sont visibles sur la figure 3. Un angle am sépare les axes des distances D1 et Dmax et un angle a2 sépare les axes des distances D1 et D2.  The angles of offset between the distances are visible in Figure 3. An angle am separates the axes of the distances D1 and Dmax and an angle a2 separates the axes of the distances D1 and D2.
On peut encore améliorer la stabilité du robot 10 en position soulevée. A cet effet, la section de la branche 23 possède deux surfaces planes 27 et 28 distantes de la seconde distance D2. La surface plane 28 est destinée à venir au contact du plan de référence 21 et la surface plane 27 est destinée à venir au contact de la surface 22 du robot 10.  It is still possible to improve the stability of the robot 10 in the raised position. For this purpose, the section of the branch 23 has two plane surfaces 27 and 28 distant from the second distance D2. The flat surface 28 is intended to come into contact with the reference plane 21 and the flat surface 27 is intended to come into contact with the surface 22 of the robot 10.
La figure 4 représente une courbe montrant l'allure de la progression d'une distance d courante en fonction de l'angle de rotation a de la branche 23. Pour un angle nul on retrouve la distance D1 inférieur à la distance D. La distance d est croissante entre un angle a nul et l'angle am. La distance d est décroissante entre les angles am et a2. Enfin la distance d est croissante au-delà de l'angle a2. Cette nouvelle croissance est due à la présence des deux surfaces planes 27 et 28. La stabilité du robot en position soulevée est obtenue lorsque la distance d atteint un minimum, en l'occurrence la distance D2, obtenu pour l'angle a2. La branche 23 peut se terminer à l'une de ses extrémités par une forme permettant son entraînement en rotation autour de son axe principal 24. Il peut s'agir s'une section carrée ou hexagonale sur laquelle l'opérateur peut disposer une clé d'entraînement. Alternativement, l'outillage 20 comprend une poignée 30 permettant dans une position opérationnelle, la rotation de la branche 23 autour de son axe principal 24. Avantageusement, la poignée 30 s'étend sensiblement perpendiculairement à la branche 23. La poignée 30 permet à l'opérateur de faire tourner la branche 23 autour de son axe principal 24. FIG. 4 represents a curve showing the pace of the progression of a current distance d as a function of the angle of rotation a of the branch 23. For a zero angle, the distance D1 is found to be smaller than the distance D. The distance d is increasing between a zero angle and the angle am. The distance d is decreasing between the angles am and a2. Finally, the distance d is increasing beyond the angle a2. This new growth is due to the presence of the two flat surfaces 27 and 28. The stability of the robot in the raised position is obtained when the distance d reaches a minimum, in this case the distance D2, obtained for the angle a2. The branch 23 may terminate at one of its ends by a shape allowing its driving in rotation about its main axis 24. It may be a square or hexagonal section on which the operator can have a key d 'training. Alternatively, the tooling 20 comprises a handle 30 allowing in an operational position, the rotation of the branch 23 about its main axis 24. Advantageously, the handle 30 extends substantially perpendicular to the branch 23. The handle 30 allows the operator to rotate the branch 23 about its main axis 24.
L'outillage 20 comprenant la branche 23 et la poignée 30 est visible sur les figures 5a et 5b. Sur la figure 5a, la branche 23 peut glisser librement sous la surface 22 du robot 10. La distance D1 est perpendiculaire au plan de référence 21 . L'outillage 20 est dans la position de la figure 2a. Sur la figure 5b, l'outillage 20 est dans la position de la figure 2b. La distance D2 est perpendiculaire au plan de référence 21 . Entre les positions de l'outillage 20 des figures 5a et 5b, l'opérateur a tourné la branche de l'angle a2 en manœuvrant la poignée 30.  The tool 20 comprising the branch 23 and the handle 30 is visible in FIGS. 5a and 5b. In FIG. 5a, the branch 23 can slide freely under the surface 22 of the robot 10. The distance D1 is perpendicular to the reference plane 21. The tool 20 is in the position of Figure 2a. In Figure 5b, the tool 20 is in the position of Figure 2b. The distance D2 is perpendicular to the reference plane 21. Between the positions of the tooling 20 of FIGS. 5a and 5b, the operator has turned the branch of the angle a2 while maneuvering the handle 30.
Avantageusement, en position de la figure 5b, la poignée 30 repose sur la plan de référence 21 . On peut se passer des surfaces planes 27 et 28. La courbe représentée sur la figure 4 peut décroître au-delà de l'angle am et cette décroissance peut se poursuivre au-delà de l'angle a2. La position de stabilité de l'outillage 20 est alors assurée lorsque la poignée 30 repose sur le plan de référence 21 . La décroissance de la distance courante d est interrompue lorsque la poignée 30 vient au contact du plan de référence 21 .  Advantageously, in the position of FIG. 5b, the handle 30 rests on the reference plane 21. Planar surfaces 27 and 28 may be dispensed with. The curve shown in FIG. 4 may decrease beyond the angle α 1 and this decay may continue beyond the angle α 2. The stability position of the tool 20 is then ensured when the handle 30 rests on the reference plane 21. The decrease of the current distance d is interrupted when the handle 30 comes into contact with the reference plane 21.
Lors de son utilisation l'outillage 20 entre en contact à la fois avec le plan de référence 21 et avec la surface plane 22. La branche 23 tournant autour de son axe principal 24, des efforts tangentiels interviennent au niveau des contacts. Ces efforts peuvent se traduire soit par un déplacement du robot 10 parallèlement au plan de référence 21 soit par un glissement au niveau d'un des contacts. Le déplacement du robot 10 par rapport au plan de référence 21 n'est pas souhaitable. Il est possible d'aménager l'outillage 20 afin de limiter le risque de déplacement et avantageusement de choisir le contact susceptible de glisser. A ce effet, par rapport à un plan 32 contenant l'axe principal 24, des surfaces extérieures 33 et 34 de la branche 23 situées de part et d'autre du plan 32 ont des coefficients de frottement différents. On choisit le coefficient de frottement le plus faible pour la surface au niveau de laquelle on souhaite un glissement. In use, the tool 20 comes into contact with both the reference plane 21 and the planar surface 22. The branch 23 rotating around its main axis 24, tangential efforts occur at the contacts. These efforts can be translated either by a movement of the robot 10 parallel to the reference plane 21 or by sliding at one of the contacts. The movement of the robot 10 relative to the reference plane 21 is undesirable. It is possible to arrange the tooling 20 to limit the risk of movement and advantageously to choose the contact that can slip. For this purpose, with respect to a plane 32 containing the main axis 24, outer surfaces 33 and 34 of the branch 23 located on either side of the plane 32 have different coefficients of friction. The lowest coefficient of friction is chosen for the surface at which sliding is desired.
Le plan de référence 21 peut avoir des natures différentes. Il s'agit du sol et l'opérateur peut décider de soulever le robot 10 sur différents types de sol. Par contre la surface 22 pour le robot 10 et la surface 34 pour la branche 23 sont mieux maîtrisées. On peut choisir que la surface ayant le coefficient de frottement le plus fort soit destinée à venir au contact du robot 10, en l'occurrence la surface 34, et la surface ayant le coefficient de frottement le plus faible soit destinée à venir au contact du plan de référence en l'occurrence la surface 33. On peut par exemple recouvrir la surface 34, d'un patin en caoutchouc ou dans un matériau à base de silicone. La surface 33 peut être recouverte d'un patin dans un matériau ayant une bonne glisse comme par exemple du polytétrafluoroéthylène (PTFE).  The reference plane 21 may have different natures. This is the ground and the operator can decide to lift the robot 10 on different types of soil. By against the surface 22 for the robot 10 and the surface 34 for the branch 23 are better controlled. It can be chosen that the surface having the highest coefficient of friction is intended to come into contact with the robot 10, in this case the surface 34, and the surface having the lowest coefficient of friction is intended to come into contact with the reference plane in this case the surface 33. It may for example cover the surface 34, a rubber pad or a silicone-based material. The surface 33 may be covered with a pad in a material having a good glide such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
Avantageusement la poignée 30 est démontable de la branche 23 afin de permettre un rangement plus aisé de l'outillage 20. Les figures 6 et 7 représentent l'outillage 20 seul. La figure 6 représente la poignée 30 assemblée à la branche 23 dans une position relative opérationnelle encore appelée position montée permettant de soulever le robot 10 et la figure 7 représente la poignée 30 dans une position repliée encore appelée position démontée par rapport à la branche 23. Dans la position de la figure 7, la poignée 30 s'étend parallèlement à l'axe principal 24 de la branche 23. L'outillage 20 comprend avantageusement des moyens de maintien de la poignée par rapport à l'outillage en position repliée. Afin de limiter l'encombrement, ces moyens de maintien peuvent être formés par un ou plusieurs aimants permanents 40 et 42 disposés dans la poignée 30. La branche 23 comprendre alors une inclusion d'un ou plusieurs éléments magnétiques 41 , et 43 formés chacun soit par un matériau ferromagnétique ou soit par un aimant permanents disposés de façon à réaliser une attraction mutuelle de la poignée 30 et de la branche 23 dans la position repliée. De façon plus générale, la poignée 30 et la branche 23 comprennent des éléments magnétiques 40 à 43 coopérant entre eux pour maintenir la poignée 30 et la branche 23 dans la position repliée. Advantageously, the handle 30 is removable from the branch 23 to allow easier storage of the tool 20. Figures 6 and 7 show the tool 20 alone. FIG. 6 shows the handle 30 assembled to the branch 23 in an operational relative position, also called the mounted position for lifting the robot 10, and FIG. 7 represents the handle 30 in a folded position still called the disassembled position with respect to the branch 23. In the position of Figure 7, the handle 30 extends parallel to the main axis 24 of the branch 23. The tool 20 advantageously comprises means for holding the handle relative to the tool in the folded position. In order to limit the bulk, these holding means may be formed by one or more permanent magnets 40 and 42 disposed in the handle 30. The branch 23 then comprise an inclusion of one or more magnetic elements 41, and 43 each formed by a ferromagnetic material or by a permanent magnet arranged to achieve mutual attraction of the handle 30 and the branch 23 in the folded position. More generally, the handle 30 and the branch 23 comprise magnetic elements 40 to 43 cooperating with each other to hold the handle 30 and the branch 23 in the folded position.
On peut prévoir dans le robot 10 un fourreau permettant de glisser l'ensemble replié.  It can be provided in the robot 10 a sleeve for sliding the folded assembly.
Un exemple de formes permettant l'entraînement de la branche 23 par la poignée 20 est visible sur la figure 7. La branche 23 peut comprendre un carré mâle 36 et la poignée 30 peut comprendre un carré femelle 37 destiné à coopérer avec le carré 36 pour l'entraînement en rotation de la branche 23. Le carré 36 s'étend selon l'axe principal 24 et l'insertion du carré mâle 36 dans le carré femelle 37 se fait en translation suivant l'axe principal 24. Les deux carrés peuvent comprendre chacun un pan coupé correspondant permettant un détrompage dans la position relative fonctionnelle de la poignée 30 par rapport à la branche 23. Le maintien en position de la poignée 30 en position fonctionnelle par rapport à la branche 23 peut se faire au moyen d'éléments magnétiques (élément ferromagnétique ou aimant permanent) disposés dans les carrés 36 et 37. Avantageusement un des éléments magnétiques permet à la fois de maintenir la poignée 30 et la branche 23 dans une position repliée et dans une position fonctionnelle. Par exemple l'élément magnétique 40 disposé dans la poignée 30 peut coopérer avec un élément magnétique 44 disposé dans le carré 36 en position fonctionnelle. L'élément magnétique 40 remplit alors une double fonction, en coopérant soit avec l'élément magnétique 41 en position repliée soit avec l'élément magnétique 44 en position fonctionnelle.  An example of forms for driving the branch 23 by the handle 20 is visible in Figure 7. The branch 23 may comprise a male square 36 and the handle 30 may comprise a female square 37 for cooperating with the square 36 for the rotation drive of the branch 23. The square 36 extends along the main axis 24 and the insertion of the male square 36 into the female square 37 is in translation along the main axis 24. The two squares can each comprise a corresponding cutaway allowing a keying in the relative functional position of the handle 30 relative to the branch 23. The holding in position of the handle 30 in the operative position relative to the branch 23 can be done by means of elements magnetic elements (ferromagnetic element or permanent magnet) arranged in the squares 36 and 37. Advantageously, one of the magnetic elements makes it possible both to hold the handle 30 and the branch 23 in a e folded position and in a functional position. For example the magnetic element 40 disposed in the handle 30 can cooperate with a magnetic element 44 disposed in the square 36 in the operative position. The magnetic element 40 then performs a dual function, cooperating either with the magnetic element 41 in the folded position or with the magnetic element 44 in the operative position.
