Description

La présente invention concerne une installation de distribution automatique de carburant pour véhicules à prépaiement comprenant des moyens de réception, de lecture et d'encaissement de moyen de paiement et des moyens de comptage et d'affichage de la quantité de carburant distribuée et du montant encaissé, et des moyens pour mesurer et délivrer la quantité de carburant payé, ces derniers moyens, au moins, étant logés dans un boitier fermé, dont tout le volume intérieur est considéré comme étant zone à risque d'explosion.The present invention relates to an automatic fuel distribution installation for prepaid vehicles comprising means for receiving, reading and collecting payment means and means for counting and displaying the quantity of fuel dispensed and the amount collected. , and means for measuring and delivering the quantity of fuel paid, the latter means, at least, being housed in a closed box, the entire interior volume of which is considered to be an explosion risk zone.

Actuellement, les installations de distribution automatique de carburant pour véhicules à prépaiement n'existent que par groupe de deux colonnes au minimum, l'une des colonnes servant à l'encaissement des moyens de paiement, en particulier des billets de banque, et étant toujours séparée de la colonne comprenant la pompe de distribution. Cette configuration est due essentiellement aux prescriptions de sécurité des services électriques. Selon les dernières prescriptions de sécurité en vigueur en Suisse, une zone d'une hauteur de 1,5 m et d'une largeur de 0,9 m, en ce qui concerne la colonne et une zone d'une hauteur de 1 m autour de la colonne distributrice, est considérée comme une zone dans laquelle il peut exister un mélange explosif. Tout appareil électrique se trouvant dans cette zone et susceptible de produire des étincelles doit être hermétiquement fermé. Il n'est dès lors pas possible de monter un lecteur de billets de type connu dans cette zone, un tel lecteur n'étant pas hermétique en raison de l'ouverture prévue pour l'introduction des billets, sans compter l'ouverture nécessaire pour l'émission d'une quittance. En outre, autour et au-dessus de la colonne s'étend une zone dans laquelle il peut également se produire, bien que rarement un danger d'explosion. Pour cette raison un lecteur de billets est monté dans une colonne indépendante située à une certaine distance de la colonne distributrice, de telle sorte que l'entrée des billets se trouve en dehors de la zone interdite entourant la colonne de distribution. Lorsque la colonne d'encaissement dessert plusieurs colonnes distributrices, cette solution est financièrement tout à fait acceptable. Par contre, cette configuration est trop coûteuse pour une seule colonne distributrice, de telle sorte que l'on a jusqu'ici renoncé à automatiser de petites stations où néanmoins le passage pourrait justifier la distribution d'essence 24 heures sur. 24, sans augmentation de la main d'oeuvre.Currently, automatic fuel distribution systems for prepaid vehicles only exist in groups of at least two columns, one of the columns used for the collection of means of payment, in particular banknotes, and being always separated from the column comprising the dispensing pump. This configuration is mainly due to the safety regulations for electrical services. According to the latest safety regulations in force in Switzerland, a zone with a height of 1.5 m and a width of 0.9 m, as regards the column and a zone with a height of 1 m around of the distribution column, is considered an area in which there may be an explosive mixture. Any electrical device in this area that may produce sparks must be hermetically sealed. It is therefore not possible to mount a known type of ticket reader in this area, such a reader not being airtight due to the opening provided for the introduction of tickets, without counting the opening necessary for issuance of a receipt. In addition, around and above the column extends an area in which it can also occur, although rarely an explosion hazard. For this reason, a banknote reader is mounted in an independent column situated at a certain distance from the dispensing column, so that the entry of the banknotes is outside the prohibited area surrounding the dispensing column. When the collection column serves several distribution columns, this solution is financially acceptable. On the other hand, this configuration is too expensive for a single distribution column, so that we have so far given up automating small stations where nevertheless the passage could justify the distribution 24 hour gasoline. 24, without increasing the workforce.

Il a dès lors été admis, dans les milieux intéressés, qu'il n'était pas possible d'automatiser de façon rentable une seule colonne distributrice.It was therefore recognized in interested circles that it was not possible to cost-effectively automate a single distribution column.

Il a été proposé de monter un compteur électronique dans une colonne de distribution mécanique (FR-A-2 394 491). Afin d'écarter le risque d'explosion, le compteur électronique est logé dans un boitier étanche et pressurisé, ce qui exclut l'introduction de monnaie ou de tout autre moyen de paiement. Ceci montre qu 'il existait un préjugé contre la réalisation d'une colonne à prépaiement.It has been proposed to mount an electronic counter in a mechanical distribution column (FR-A-2 394 491). In order to avoid the risk of explosion, the electronic counter is housed in a waterproof and pressurized case, which excludes the introduction of money or any other means of payment. This shows that there was a prejudice against the realization of a prepayment column.

Allant à l'encontre de ce préjugé, la présente invention a précisément pour but de réaliser une installation de distribution automatique de carburant à prépaiement constituée d'une seule unité et susceptible de satisfaire les besoins des petites stations de distribution.Going against this prejudice, the present invention specifically aims to provide an automatic pre-paid fuel distribution installation consisting of a single unit and capable of meeting the needs of small distribution stations.

A cet effet, l'installation selon l'invention est constituée d'une seule unité et les moyens de réception, de lecture et d'encaissement des moyens de paiement sont montés sur et au-dessus dudit boitier, à une hauteur supérieure à la hauteur de la zone présentant un risque d'explosion, la hauteur dudit boitier étant sensiblement inférieure à la hauteur de ladite zone autour du boitier.To this end, the installation according to the invention consists of a single unit and the means for receiving, reading and collecting payment means are mounted on and above said box, at a height greater than the height of the zone presenting a risk of explosion, the height of said casing being substantially less than the height of said zone around the casing.

Telle que définie par les prescriptions actuelles la zone interdite peut être réduite à un minimum délimité par le volume de l'appareillage effectivement influencé par la distribution d'essence. Ce volume se limite en fait au groupe hydraulique qui se compose des éléments suivants : pompe avec son moteur d'entrainement, débitmètre volumétrique et accessoires tels que vannes, raccords, dégaseur, câblage..etc. Quand, contrairement aux préjugés existant, les mesures d'encombrement faites sur des éléments standards utilisés à ce jour ont montré qu'il était possible de limiter la hauteur de la zone de concentration, c'est-à-dire le boitier du groupe hydraulique, à 0,8 m, de telle sorte que la hauteur de la zone interdite soit de 1 m, ce qui est le minimum prescrit. Il était dès lors possible de disposer le lecteur de billets au-dessus du groupe hydraulique, à une hauteur convenable comprise entre 1 et 1,5 m, en respectant la prescription selon laquelle l'espace séparant le boitier abritant le lecteur de billets du groupe hydraulique doit être à l'air libre.As defined by current regulations the prohibited area can be reduced to a minimum delimited by the volume of the equipment effectively influenced by the distribution of fuel. This volume is in fact limited to the hydraulic unit which consists of the following elements: pump with its drive motor, volumetric flow meter and accessories such as valves, fittings, degasser, wiring, etc. When, contrary to existing prejudices, the dimensions measurements made on standard elements used to date have shown that it was possible to limit the height of the concentration zone, i.e. the casing of the hydraulic unit , 0.8 m, so that the height of the prohibited area is 1 m, which is the minimum prescribed. It was therefore possible to place the banknote reader above the hydraulic unit, at a suitable height of between 1 and 1.5 m, respecting the requirement that the space separating the box housing the banknote reader from the group hydraulic must be in the open air.

Il ne suffisait pas dès lors de disposer le lecteur de billets au-dessus d'une colonne existante et hors de la zone interdite pour atteindre le but visé, étant donné que dans une telle configuration le lecteur de billets se serait trouvé à une hauteur d'au moins 1,6 m, c'est-à-dire à une hauteur trop élevée pour un grand nombre d'usagers. Cette objection peut expliquer le préjugé existant envers une telle configuration.It was therefore not enough to have the banknote reader above an existing column and outside the prohibited area to achieve the intended goal, since in such a configuration the banknote reader would have been at a height d '' at least 1.6 m, i.e. at too high a height for a large number of users. This objection may explain the prejudice existing towards such a configuration.

On a certes déjà proposé de réaliser des colonnes à prépaiement individuelles comprenant une partie électronique (US-A- 3 935 435 et US-A- 3 921 854), mais sans se soucier semble-t-il des risques d'explosion. Ces colonnes ne satisfont dans tous les cas pas les conditions de sécurité énoncées plus haut.It has certainly already been proposed to produce individual prepayment columns comprising an electronic part (US-A-3,935,435 and US-A-3,921,854), but apparently without worrying about the risks of explosion. These columns do not in all cases satisfy the security conditions stated above.

Le lecteur des moyens de paiement (monnaie, billet, carte de crédit ou analogue) est de préférence intégré à un ensemble comprenant également le comptage et l'affichage, réalisé électroniquement, le tout étant monté dans un second boîtier porté par une colonne au-dessus du boîtier abritant le groupe hydraulique.The reader of the means of payment (currency, note, credit card or the like) is preferably integrated into an assembly also comprising counting and display, carried out electronically, the whole being mounted in a second housing carried by a column au- above the housing housing the hydraulic unit.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de l'invention.The accompanying drawing shows, by way of example, an embodiment of the invention.

L'unique figure du dessin annexée est une vue d'ensemble d'un distributeur automatique à prépaiement.The only figure in the appended drawing is an overview of a prepaid automatic dispenser.

Ce distributeur comprend un premier boîtier ou caisson 1 de forme parallélépipédique rectangulaire, d'une hauteur de 0,8 m et d'une largeur d'environ 0,55 m, abritant le groupe hydraulique, c'est-à-dire les éléments suivants: une pompe avec son moteur d'entrainement, un débitmètre volumétrique agréé et des accessoires tels que vannes, raccords, dégazeur, câblage, etc.This distributor includes a first box or box 1 of rectangular parallelepiped shape, a height of 0.8 m and a width of about 0.55 m, housing the hydraulic unit, that is to say the elements following: a pump with its drive motor, an approved volumetric flowmeter and accessories such as valves, fittings, degasser, wiring, etc.

Le haut de ce boîtier 1 est largement en-dessous de la limite 2 de la zone s'étendant du sol à 1 m de hauteur, dans laquelle toute installation d'appareillage électrique susceptible de produire des étincelles et non hermétiquement fermé est prohibé.The top of this box 1 is largely below the limit 2 of the area extending from the ground to 1 m in height, in which any installation of electrical equipment capable of producing sparks and not hermetically closed is prohibited.

Sur ce premier boîtier 1 est monté un second boîtier 3 sur une colonne verticale 4. Ce second boîtier 3 est situé entre une hauteur de 1,1 m et 1,5 m, c'est-à-dire nettement en dehors de la zone interdite. Il abrite un lecteur de billets 5, par exemple un lecteur SODECO (marque déposée) présentant, dans la paroi frontale du boitier 3, une fente 6 pour l'introduction de billets de banque. Le boitier 3 abrite également des moyens de comptage et d'affichage 7 de préférence électroniques affichant la quantité de carburant distribuée, le montant encaissé et le prix par litre du carburant. La liaison électrique entre le boitier 3 et le boitier 1 s'effectue par l'intérieur de la colonne 4. Cette dernière comporte une cloison horizontale hermétique, soudée, 8 qui constitue la limite supérieure de la zone à danger d'explosion.Le tuyau de distribution 9 est suspendu, de manière connue en soi, au boitier 3 par l'intermédiaire d'un câble à enrouleur automatique.On this first housing 1 is mounted a second housing 3 on a vertical column 4. This second housing 3 is located between a height of 1.1 m and 1.5 m, that is to say clearly outside the prohibited area. It houses a banknote reader 5, for example a SODECO (registered trademark) reader having, in the front wall of the housing 3, a slot 6 for the introduction of banknotes. The box 3 also houses counting and display means 7, preferably electronic, displaying the quantity of fuel dispensed, the amount collected and the price per liter of the fuel. The electrical connection between the casing 3 and the casing 1 takes place through the interior of the column 4. The latter comprises a sealed, welded horizontal partition 8 which constitutes the upper limit of the explosion danger zone. The pipe distribution 9 is suspended, in a manner known per se, to the housing 3 by means of an automatic winding cable.

Selon une variante d'exécution donnée à titre d'exemple, un dispositif de comptage et d'affichage mécanique conventionnel pourrait être intégré au groupe hydraulique dans le boitier 1, le boitier 3 ne contenant alors que le lecteur de billets, respectivement de monnaie ou de carte de crédit ou analogue. L'électronique fait toutefois préférer une intégration du lecteur de billets et du comptage-affichage.According to an alternative embodiment given by way of example, a conventional mechanical counting and display device could be integrated into the hydraulic unit in the case 1, the case 3 then containing only the reader of notes, respectively of currency or credit card or the like. The electronics, however, prefer to integrate the bill reader and counting-display.
