Abstract

The mobile lift has a mobile carriage fitted to the platform, and consists of a vehicle chassis (1), which carries a lift (4), which in turn carries a platform (6), which is constrained to be horizontal. The platform is linked to a horizontal base frame (5), which is carried by the lifter. The lift has angled connecting rods (8), which define a deformable parallelogram, and which are associated with a jack, which maintains the platform in its elevated position, when the electrical circuit supply to the lift, is provided through the contact switch (10).

Description

La présente invention a trait aux engins élévateurs du genre comprenant, sur un châssis généralement auto-moteur, un dispositif de levage du type à bras articulé, à flèche ou à ciseaux, et un platelage supérieur en forme de nacelle, de plate-forme ou similaire destinée à recevoir la charge (matériel et/ou opérateurs) à déplacer. The present invention relates to lifting machines of the type comprising, on a generally self-propelled chassis, a lifting device of the articulated arm, jib or scissor type, and an upper platform in the form of a nacelle, platform or similar intended to receive the load (material and / or operators) to move.

On sait qu'en vue d'éviter les risques de basculement ou d'endommagement consécutifs à l'application d'une surcharge sur le platelage, il est indispensable d'équiper les engins du genre précité d'un système de sécurité apte à interrompre automatiquement le fonctionnement du dispositif de levage et les mouvements dangereux dès que la charge dépasse un seuil déterminé. We know that in order to avoid the risk of tipping or damage following the application of an overload on the deck, it is essential to equip vehicles of the aforementioned type with a safety system capable of interrupting automatically the operation of the lifting device and dangerous movements as soon as the load exceeds a determined threshold.

Dans les constructions connues, le système de sécurité fait ordinairement appel à des capteurs manométriques montés sur l'installation hydraulique qui alimente les vérins du dispositif de levage. Or, l'expérience démontre que les agencements proposés présentent une fiabilité réduite, aussi bien du point de vue de la précision de la détection des surcharges que de celui de la résistance aux dures sollicitations inhérentes à l'utilisation même de l'engin élévateur. In known constructions, the safety system ordinarily uses pressure sensors mounted on the hydraulic installation which supplies the jacks of the lifting device. However, experience has shown that the proposed arrangements have reduced reliability, both from the point of view of the precision of the detection of overloads and of the resistance to the harsh stresses inherent in the very use of the lifting machine.

C'est à ces inconvénients qu'entend remédier la présente invention, en dotant les engins élévateurs du genre précité d'un système limiteur électromécanique de sécurité, de construction très robuste et de fonctionnement parfaitement précis. It is to these drawbacks that the present invention intends to remedy, by providing lifting vehicles of the aforementioned type with an electromechanical safety limiter system, of very robust construction and of perfectly precise operation.

Conformément à l'invention, le platelage de la nacelle, plate-forme ou autre est relié au bâti fixé au sommet du dispositif de levage de l'engin par un ensemble de biellettes obliques définissant un parallélogramme déformable auquel sont associés des moyens élastiques assurant le maintien dudit platelage en position haute, tandis qu'on insère sur le circuit électrique d'alimentation du dispositif de levage de l'engin au moins un contacteur dont l'organe mobile est commandé mécaniquement par la déformation du parallélogramme susvisé qui intervient à la suite d'une surcharge. According to the invention, the platform of the nacelle, platform or other is connected to the frame fixed to the top of the lifting device of the machine by a set of oblique rods defining a deformable parallelogram with which are associated elastic means ensuring the maintaining said deck in the high position, while inserting into the electrical supply circuit of the device lifting device at least one contactor whose movable member is mechanically controlled by the deformation of the above-mentioned parallelogram which occurs after of an overload.

On conçoit qu'étant donné sa simplicité structurelle, un tel système n'accroît pas de manière très sensible le coût de la construction de l'engin, alors qu'il comporte une fiabilité remarquable en ce qui concerne sa solidité et sa précision. It is understood that given its structural simplicity, such a system does not significantly increase the cost of construction of the machine, while it has remarkable reliability with regard to its strength and precision.

Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer
Fig. 1 est une vue de côté montrant l'agencement général d'un engin élévateur à plate-forme établi conformément à l'invention.
The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing.
Fig. 1 is a side view showing the general arrangement of a platform lifting device established in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 représente à plus petite échelle l'un des jeux de biellettes du parallèlogramme déformable et le contacteur électrique. Fig. 2 shows on a smaller scale one of the sets of rods of the deformable parallelogram and the electrical contactor.

Fig. 3 reproduit fig. 2 au cas où une surcharge est appliquée sur la plate-forme de l'engin. Fig. 3 reproduced fig. 2 in the event that an overload is applied to the platform of the machine.

L'engin schématiquement représenté en fig. 1 comprend, à la façon en soi connue, un châssis 1 qui est porté par deux trains de roues 2 et qu'on peut supposer être équipé d'un moteur autonome 3 propre à assurer le roulement de l'engin et l'actionnement hydraulique des vérins associés au bras articulé 4 monté sur ledit châssis 1. Au sommet de ce dispositif de levage ou bras articulé 4 est prévu un bâti 5 qui est relié à la partie supérieure dudit bras par un système propre à le maintenir strictement à l'horizontale quel que soit le déploiement vertical de ce bras. The machine schematically represented in fig. 1 comprises, in the manner known per se, a chassis 1 which is carried by two sets of wheels 2 and which can be assumed to be equipped with an autonomous motor 3 capable of ensuring the rolling of the machine and the hydraulic actuation cylinders associated with the articulated arm 4 mounted on said chassis 1. At the top of this lifting device or articulated arm 4 is provided a frame 5 which is connected to the upper part of said arm by a system capable of keeping it strictly horizontal whatever the vertical deployment of this arm.

Conformément à la présente invention, le platelage 6 de la plateforme 7 portée par le bras 4 est soutenu au-dessus du bâti 5 à l'aide de quatre jeux de biellettes obliques 8 associées à des pivots 8a (fig. 2) et disposées au voisinage des angles de ladite plate-forme, si bien que l'ensemble 5-6-8 définit un parallélogramme déformable. La plate-forme 7 est maintenue à la position haute suivant fig. 2 par des moyens élastiques appropriés, constitués dans le cas considéré par une boite à ressorts 9 interposée entre le platelage 6 et le bâti 5. In accordance with the present invention, the platform 6 of the platform 7 carried by the arm 4 is supported above the frame 5 by means of four sets of oblique rods 8 associated with pivots 8a (fig. 2) and arranged at vicinity of the angles of said platform, so that the assembly 5-6-8 defines a deformable parallelogram. The platform 7 is held in the high position according to fig. 2 by suitable elastic means, constituted in the case considered by a spring box 9 interposed between the decking 6 and the frame 5.

Le système de sécurité comprend en outre un contacteur 10 branché sur le circuit électrique d'alimentation du moteur 3. Dans la construction illustrée en fig. 2 et 3, on a supposé que ce contacteur 10 était fixé contre le bâti 5 de façon à ce que son organe d'actionnement 10a puisse être actionné par un poussoir vertical 11 porté par le platelage 6 de la plate-forme 7, mais il va de soi que la solution inverse peut être adoptée. The security system further comprises a contactor 10 connected to the electrical supply circuit of the motor 3. In the construction illustrated in FIG. 2 and 3, it was assumed that this contactor 10 was fixed against the frame 5 so that its actuating member 10a can be actuated by a vertical pusher 11 carried by the platform 6 of the platform 7, but it It goes without saying that the opposite solution can be adopted.

On conçoit en effet que si la boîte à ressorts 9 a été tarée de façon à permettre, par déformation du parallélogramme sus-indiqué, l'abaissement du platelage 6 dès que la charge appliquée sur ce dernier dépasse une limite fixée comme seuil de sécurité pour l'engin élévateur considéré, sous cette surcharge le poussoir 11 vient actionner l'organe 10a du contacteur 10 qui ouvre le circuit d'alimentation et met hors de fonctionnement le moteur 3. Tout déplacement vertical de la plate-forme 7 est ainsi rendu impossible. It is in fact understood that if the spring box 9 has been calibrated so as to allow, by deformation of the above-mentioned parallelogram, the lowering of the deck 6 as soon as the load applied to the latter exceeds a limit set as a safety threshold for the lifting machine considered, under this overload, the pusher 11 actuates the member 10a of the contactor 10 which opens the supply circuit and puts the motor 3 out of operation. Any vertical movement of the platform 7 is thus made impossible .

On notera que la sécurité est garantie dans le cas d'une défaillance de la boite à ressorts ou autre moyen élastique 9, du fait qu'en tout état de cause le contacteur 10 est actionné. It will be noted that safety is guaranteed in the event of a failure of the spring box or other elastic means 9, owing to the fact that in any event the contactor 10 is actuated.

I1 va de soi qu'on peut doter l'engin de plusieurs contacteurs 10 convenablement positionnés pour la commande d'une pré-alarme sonore ou visuelle ou pour la coupure du circuit d'alimentation du moteur 3 en fonction de la position du platelage 6 par rapport au bâti 5 dans le cas des engins à plate-forme coulissante, ou en fonction du déploiement vertical du bras 4. It goes without saying that the machine can be provided with several suitably positioned contactors 10 for controlling an audible or visual pre-alarm or for cutting off the power supply circuit of the motor 3 as a function of the position of the deck 6 relative to the frame 5 in the case of machines with a sliding platform, or according to the vertical deployment of the arm 4.

I1 doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précède n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution décrits par tous autres équivalents. On comprend en particulier que le réglage du seuil de fonctionnement du système de sécurité peut être effectué, non seulement au niveau des moyens élastiques 9 comme on l'a supposé ci-dessus, mais moyennant déplacement du contacteur 10 et/ou du poussoir 11. It should moreover be understood that the above description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by all other equivalents. It will be understood in particular that the adjustment of the operating threshold of the security system can be carried out, not only at the level of the elastic means 9 as was assumed above, but by means of displacement of the contactor 10 and / or of the pusher 11.

En outre, la présente invention est applicable à tous les élévateurs de charges ou de personnes, notamment dans ceux dans lesquels la nacelle est équipée d'un plateau coulissant ou d'une autre extension à commande hydraulique, mécanique ou manuelle.  In addition, the present invention is applicable to all load or person elevators, in particular in those in which the nacelle is equipped with a sliding plate or another extension with hydraulic, mechanical or manual control.
