Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de transport et d'installation sur une machine, d'une bobine d'un matériau en film.The present invention relates to a device for transporting and installing on a machine, a reel of film material.

Elle concerne également un procédé mettant en oeuvre ledit dispositif de transport et d'installation.It also relates to a method implementing said transport and installation device.

L'invention trouve une application avantageuse dans le domaine général de la manutention, et plus particulièrement la manutention de bobines de matériau en film destinées notamment aux thermoformeuses utilisées dans l'industrie agro-alimentaire.The invention finds an advantageous application in the general field of handling, and more particularly the handling of reels of film material intended in particular for thermoforming machines used in the food industry.

Actuellement, avant leur transport vers les machines sur lesquelles elles doivent être installées, les bobines de matériau en film sont livrées sur un premier engin de manutention, généralement un transporteur de palettes en bois avec le plus souvent deux bobines placées côte à côte sur chaque palette. On peut déjà noter que dans le cas spécifique de l'industrie agro-alimentaire où l'usage de palettes en bois est interdit dans les ateliers, il faudrait, avant de pénétrer dans les locaux enfermant les machines, thermoformeuses par exemple, charger les bobines sur un autre engin de manutention conforme à la règlementation, ce qui suppose une opération supplémentaire de déchargement / chargement. De plus, ces engins de manutention sont du type tire-pale sur lesquelles les bobines sont simplement posées, et de ce fait n'offrent pas une grande sécurité compte tenu de leur instabilité et du poids considérable des bobines à transporter.Currently, before their transport to the machines on which they are to be installed, the reels of film material are delivered on a first handling machine, generally a wooden pallet transporter with most often two reels placed side by side on each pallet . We can already note that in the specific case of the food industry where the use of wooden pallets is prohibited in the workshops, it would be necessary, before entering the premises enclosing the machines, thermoforming machines for example, to load the reels on another handling machine in accordance with the regulations, which requires an additional unloading / loading operation. In addition, these handling machines are of the blade puller type on which the coils are simply placed, and therefore do not offer great security given their instability and the considerable weight of the coils to be transported.

Une autre solution consisterait à déplacer la bobine sur des palans dont il faudrait équiper les ateliers et qui sont assez malcommodes à utiliser.Another solution would be to move the reel on hoists with which workshops should be equipped and which are quite inconvenient to use.

D'autre part, avec les dispositifs de manutention connus, il est nécessaire, pour installer les bobines sur les machines auxquelles elles sont destinées, de disposer d'un espace suffisant pour pouvoir manipuler les bobines afin de les décharger de l'engin de manutention et les mettre en place sur les machines. Or, dans le cas d'ateliers comportant un grand nombre de machines disposées en lignes parallèles séparées par une allée étroite, il est impossible d'accéder par le côté aux cellules de réception des machines, il faut alors les aborder par l'arrière malgré l'encombrement qu'elles présentent à cet endroit.On the other hand, with known handling devices, it is necessary, to install the coils on the machines for which they are intended, to have sufficient space to be able to handle the coils in order to unload them from the handling machine. and set them up on the machines. However, in the case of workshops comprising a large number of machines arranged in parallel lines separated by a narrow aisle, it is impossible to access from the side the machine receiving cells, it is then necessary to approach them from the rear despite the space they present at this location.

Aussi, le problème technique à résoudre par l'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif de transport et d'installation sur une machine, d'une bobine d'un matériau en film, dispositif qui serait d'utilisation simple et rapide, d'une grande sécurité, compatible aves les normes de l'industrie agro-alimentaire, et qui permettrait un accès latérale aux machines même lorsque les allées entre lignes de machines sont étroites.Also, the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to propose a device for transport and installation on a machine, of a reel of a film material, a device which would be simple and quick to use. , very safe, compatible with the standards of the food industry, and which would allow lateral access to machines even when the aisles between machine lines are narrow.

La solution au problème technique posé consiste, selon la présente invention, en ce que ladite bobine étant livrée sur un premier engin de manutention, ledit dispositif comprend:

  • une cartouche porte-bobine comportant, d'une part, un cadre formé de deux flasques latéraux reliés à leurs extrêmités par des entretoises de longueur supérieure à la largeur de la bobine, lesdites entretoises étant séparées d'une distance supérieure au diamètre de ladite bobine et lesdits flasques étant pourvus, chacun, d'une échancrure centrale destinée à recevoir une extrémité d'un mandrin traversant une ouverture centrale de la bobine, et, d'autre part, deux paires de pieds séparées, dans le sens des flasques latéraux, d'une distance supérieure à la largeur du premier engin de manutention, les pieds de chaque paire étant, d'une part, d'une hauteur telle que lesdites échancrures soient à une hauteur supérieure à celle de l'ouverture centrale de la bobine dans la position la plus basse du premier engin de manutention, et, d'autre part, reliés par une traverse parallèle aux entretoises, de longueur supérieure à la largeur d'un deuxième engin de manutention destiné à transporter la cartouche porte-bobine à la machine, et dont la distance au sol est inférieure à la différence entre le centre des échancrures et le diamètre de la bobine,
  • une cellule de réception de la cartouche porte-bobine, intégrée à la machine, et présentant une ouverture latérale et un dispositif d'introduction de la cartouche porte-bobine dans la cellule de réception.
The solution to the technical problem posed consists, according to the present invention, in that said coil being delivered on a first handling machine, said device comprises:
  • a reel-holder cartridge comprising, on the one hand, a frame formed by two lateral flanges connected at their ends by spacers of length greater than the width of the reel, said spacers being separated by a distance greater than the diameter of said reel and said flanges being each provided with a central notch intended to receive one end of a mandrel passing through a central opening of the spool, and, on the other hand, two pairs of feet separated, in the direction of the lateral flanges, by a distance greater than the width of the first machine handling, the feet of each pair being, on the one hand, of a height such that said notches are at a height greater than that of the central opening of the reel in the lowest position of the first handling machine, and, on the other hand, connected by a crosspiece parallel to the spacers, of length greater than the width of a second handling machine intended to transport the reel-holder cartridge to the machine, and whose distance from the ground is less than the difference between the center of the notches and the diameter of the coil,
  • a cell for receiving the reel cartridge, integrated into the machine, and having a lateral opening and a device for introducing the reel cartridge into the receiving cell.

Ainsi, le concept de cartouche porte-bobine du dispositif conforme à l'invention permet avec une seule pièce d'assurer à la fois la manipulation et le transport en toute sécurité de la bobine, ainsi que l'installation dans la cellule de réception de la machine destinataire.Thus, the concept of reel cartridge cartridge of the device according to the invention allows with a single piece to ensure both the safe handling and transport of the reel, as well as the installation in the receiving cell of the recipient machine.

De plus, comme on le verra en détail plus loin, la cartouche porte-bobine peut être présentée latéralement à la machine en passant par l'allée de séparation entre machines, même si celle-ci est étroite.In addition, as will be seen in detail below, the reel holder cartridge can be presented laterally to the machine through the aisle of separation between machines, even if it is narrow.

Par ailleurs, un procédé de transport et d'installation sur une machine, à l'aide du dispositif selon l'invention, d'une bobine d'un matériau en film, est remarquable en ce qu'il comporte les opérations suivantes:

  • mise en place de la cartouche porte-bobine autour de la bobine et par dessus ledit premier engin de manutention, l'ouverture centrale de la bobine débouchant au voisinage inférieur des échancrures centrales des flasques latéraux,
  • montée de la bobine à l'aide du premier engin de manutention de manière à dégager l'ouverture centrale de la bobine,
  • introduction du mandrin à l'intérieur de ladite ouverture centrale,
  • descente de la bobine à l'aide du premier engin de manutention et mise en appui des extrémités du mandrin sur les échancrures des flasques latéraux,
  • dégagement du premier engin de manutention,
  • installation du deuxième engin de manutention sous les traverses des paires de pieds,
  • montée et transport jusqu'à la machine de la cartouche porte-bobine munie de la bobine, à l'aide du deuxième engin de manutention,
  • présentation, parallèlement à la machine, de la cartouche porte-bobine à l'entrée de la cellule de réception
  • mise en place du dispositif d'introduction,
  • introduction de la cartouche porte-bobine dans la cellule de réception.
Furthermore, a method of transport and installation on a machine, using the device according to the invention, of a reel of a film material, is remarkable in that it comprises the operations following:
  • placing the reel-holder cartridge around the reel and over said first handling machine, the central opening of the reel opening in the lower vicinity of the central notches of the lateral flanges,
  • rise of the reel using the first handling device so as to clear the central opening of the reel,
  • introduction of the mandrel inside said central opening,
  • lowering of the reel using the first handling device and pressing the ends of the mandrel on the notches of the lateral flanges,
  • release of the first handling machine,
  • installation of the second handling machine under the sleepers of the pairs of feet,
  • assembly and transport to the machine of the reel holder cartridge fitted with the reel, using the second handling machine,
  • presentation, parallel to the machine, of the reel holder cartridge at the entrance to the receiving cell
  • installation of the introduction device,
  • introduction of the reel holder cartridge into the receiving cell.

La description qui va suivre en regard des dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, fera bien comprendre en quoi consiste l'invention et comment elle peut être réalisée.The description which follows with reference to the appended drawings, given by way of nonlimiting examples, will make it clear what the invention consists of and how it can be implemented.

Les figures 1a et 1b sont respectivement une vue de face et une vue de côté d'une cartouche porte-bobine selon l'invention entourant une bobine disposée sur un premier engin de manutention en position basse.Figures 1a and 1b are respectively a front view and a side view of a spool holder cartridge according to the invention surrounding a spool disposed on a first handling device in the low position.

Les figures 2a et 2b sont des vues correspondant aux figures 1a et 1b, ledit premier engin de manutention étant en position haute.Figures 2a and 2b are views corresponding to Figures 1a and 1b, said first handling device being in the high position.

Les figures 3a et 3b sont des vues correspondant aux figures 1a,2a et 1b,2b, ladite bobine reposant sur la cartouche porte-bobine.Figures 3a and 3b are views corresponding to Figures 1a, 2a and 1b, 2b, said reel resting on the reel holder cartridge.

Les figures 4a et 4b sont des vues correspondant aux figures 3a,3b, la cartouche porte-bobine étant installée sur un deuxième engin de manutention.Figures 4a and 4b are views corresponding to Figures 3a, 3b, the reel holder cartridge being installed on a second handling machine.

La figure 5 est une vue de dessus d'une cellule de réception d'une machine associée à la cartouche porte-bobine conforme à l'invention.Figure 5 is a top view of a receiving cell of a machine associated with the reel holder cartridge according to the invention.

La figure 6 est une vue de côté montrant en détail une glissière de la cellule de réception de la figure 5, coopérant avec des rouleaux de la cartouche porte-bobine.Figure 6 is a side view showing in detail a slide of the receiving cell of Figure 5, cooperating with rollers of the spool cartridge.

La figure 7 est une vue de côté de la cartouche porte-bobine de l'invention montrant un système de freinage de la bobine.Figure 7 is a side view of the reel holder cartridge of the invention showing a reel braking system.

Les figures 1a et 1b montrent en vues de face et de côté une cartouche porte-bobine 100 d'un dispositif de transport et d'installation sur une machine, non représentée sur les figures 1a et 1b, d'une bobine 10 d'un matériau en film.FIGS. 1a and 1b show in front and side views a reel-holder cartridge 100 of a transport and installation device on a machine, not shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, of a reel 10 of a film material.

Sur les figures 1a et 1b, la bobine 10 est montrée dans la position dans laquelle elle est livrée, c'est-à-dire sur un premier engin 1 de manutention de type standard, tel qu'un transporteur de palettes ou un gerbeur, en position de transport, c'est-à-dire en position basse.In FIGS. 1a and 1b, the reel 10 is shown in the position in which it is delivered, that is to say on a first standard type handling device 1, such as a pallet transporter or a stacker, in the transport position, that is to say in the low position.

Comme on peut le voir aux figures 1a et 1b, la cartouche porte-bobine 100 comprend un cadre formé de deux flasques latéraux 110,120 reliés à leurs extrémités par des entretoises 130,140 qui, dans l'exemple des figures 1a et 1b, sont composées chacune de trois rouleaux 131,132,133 et 141,142,143 que l'on peut voir plus en détail sur la figure 6. De manière à pouvoir mettre en place le cadre de la cartouche porte-bobine 100 autour de la bobine 10, les entretoises 130,140 ont une longueur supérieure à la largeur de la bobine et sont séparées d'une distance supérieure au diamètre de ladite bobine.As can be seen in FIGS. 1a and 1b, the coil holder cartridge 100 comprises a frame formed by two lateral flanges 110,120 connected at their ends by spacers 130,140 which, in the example of FIGS. 1a and 1b, are each made up of three rollers 131, 132, 133 and 141, 142, 143 which can be seen in more detail in FIG. the spacers 130, 140 have a length greater than the width of the coil and are separated by a distance greater than the diameter of said coil.

D'autre part, on peut observer sur les figures 1a et 1b que les flasques latéraux 110,120 sont pourvus chacun, d'une échancrure centrale, 111,121. Comme on le verra plus tard en liaison avec les figures 3a,3b, les échancrures centrales 111,121 sont destinées à recevoir les extrémités d'un mandarin 11 traversant une ouverture centrale 12 de la bobine 10.On the other hand, it can be observed in FIGS. 1a and 1b that the lateral flanges 110, 120 are each provided with a central notch, 111, 121. As will be seen later in connection with FIGS. 3a, 3b, the central notches 111, 121 are intended to receive the ends of a mandarin 11 passing through a central opening 12 of the coil 10.

La cartouche porte-bobine 100 comporte également deux paires de pieds 151,152, d'une part, et 161,162, d'autre part. Afin de permettre, lors de sa mise en place autour de la bobine, que ladite cartouche porte-bobine repose sur ses pieds par-dessus le premier engin 1 de manutention, les paires 151,152;161,162 de pieds sont séparées, dans le sens des flasques latéraux 110,120, d'une distance supérieure à la largeur dudit premier engin de manutention. En outre, la hauteur des pieds de la cartouche porte-bobine est telle que, pour la position la plus basse du premier engin 1 de manutention, correspondant à sa position de transport, les échancrures centrales 111,121 soient à une hauteur supérieure à celle de l'ouverture centrale 12 de la bobine 10. Ainsi, dans cette position, ladite ouverture centrale débouche au voisinage inférieur des échancrures 111,121 des flasques latéraux 110,120.The reel holder cartridge 100 also comprises two pairs of feet 151, 152, on the one hand, and 161, 162, on the other. In order to allow, when it is placed around the spool, that said spool-holder cartridge rests on its feet over the first handling machine 1, the pairs 151,152; 161,162 feet are separated, in the direction of the flanges lateral 110,120, a distance greater than the width of said first handling device. In addition, the height of the feet of the reel holder cartridge is such that, for the lowest position of the first handling machine 1, corresponding to its transport position, the central notches 111, 121 are at a height greater than that of the central opening 12 of the coil 10. Thus, in this position, said central opening opens in the lower vicinity of the notches 111, 121 of the lateral flanges 110, 120.

Pour placer la bobine 10 dans la cartouche porte-bobine 100, il suffit, comme l'indiquent les figures 2a et 2b, de monter la bobine à l'aide du premier engin 1 de manutention de manière à dégager l'ouverture centrale 12 de la bobine. Puis, on introduit le mandrin 11 à l'intérieur de ladite ouverture centrale. Enfin, la bobine 10 est redescendue, toujours à l'aide du premier engin 1 de manutention, afin de mettre en appui les extrémités du mandrin 11 sur les échancrures centrales 111,121 des flasques latéraux 110,120. Après dégagement du premier engin 1 de manutention, on aboutit à la configuration des figures 3a et 3b.To place the reel 10 in the reel holder cartridge 100, as indicated by the Figures 2a and 2b, mount the coil using the first handling device 1 so as to release the central opening 12 of the coil. Then, the mandrel 11 is introduced inside said central opening. Finally, the coil 10 is lowered again, still using the first handling device 1, in order to put the ends of the mandrel 11 on the central notches 111, 121 of the lateral flanges 110, 120. After release of the first handling device 1, we arrive at the configuration of Figures 3a and 3b.

Dans le but transporter l'ensemble constitué par la bobine 10 et la cartouche porte-bobine 100 vers la machine, un deuxième engin 2 de manutention est, comme le montrent les figures 4a et 4b, installé sous deux traverses 170,180, parallèles aux entretoises 130,140, et reliant repectivement les paires de pieds 151,152 et 161,162. Bien entendu, ces traverses ont une longueur supérieure à la largeur du deuxième engin 2 de manutention. De même, pour éviter que la bobine 10 ne fasse obstacle à l'introduction dudit deuxième engin de manutention sous les traverses 170,180, il y a avantage à ce que la distance au sol desdites traverses soit inférieure à la différence entre le centre des échancrures 111,121 et le diamètre de la bobine 10.In order to transport the assembly constituted by the reel 10 and the reel-carrying cartridge 100 towards the machine, a second handling machine 2 is, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, installed under two sleepers 170,180, parallel to the spacers 130,140 , and connecting the pairs of legs 151,152 and 161,162 respectively. Of course, these sleepers have a length greater than the width of the second handling device 2. Similarly, to prevent the reel 10 from obstructing the introduction of said second handling device under the sleepers 170,180, it is advantageous for the distance from the ground of said sleepers to be less than the difference between the center of the notches 111,121 and the diameter of the coil 10.

Ledit deuxième engin 2 de manutention est de préférence de type standard, tel qu'un tire-pale. Naturellement, lesdits premier 1 et deuxième 2 engins de manutention peuvent être un seul et même engin.Said second handling device 2 is preferably of the standard type, such as a blade puller. Naturally, said first 1 and second 2 handling machines can be one and the same machine.

Il est alors possible de monter la cartouche porte-bobine 100 et de la transporter vers la machine à laquelle elle est destinée.It is then possible to mount the reel holder cartridge 100 and transport it to the machine for which it is intended.

La figure 5 indique clairement que ladite cartouche porte-bobine est présentée latéralement parallèlement à la machine 20. Cette manoeuvre est rendue possible du fait que la largeur de la cartouche porte-bobine 100 est inférieure à la largeur de l'allée séparant deux machines voisines.FIG. 5 clearly indicates that said spool cartridge is presented laterally parallel to the machine 20. This maneuver is made possible because the width of the reel-holder cartridge 100 is less than the width of the aisle separating two neighboring machines.

La cartouche porte-bobine 100 est ainsi amenée à la hauteur d'une cellule 200 de réception intégrée à la machine 20, et, présentant une ouverture latérale 210 ainsi qu'un dispositif d'introduction qui, dans l'exemple montré aux figures 5 et 6, est constitué de deux glissières 221,222 télescopiques sur lesquelles viennent reposer les rouleaux 132,133 et 142, 143 des entretoises 130,140 après descente du deuxième engin 2 de manutention. Cette disposition donne une grande souplesse dans le positionnement de la cartouche porte-bobine par rapport à la cellule de réception.The reel-holder cartridge 100 is thus brought up to a receiving cell 200 integrated into the machine 20, and, having a lateral opening 210 as well as an introduction device which, in the example shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, consists of two telescopic slides 221,222 on which rest the rollers 132,133 and 142, 143 of the spacers 130,140 after lowering of the second handling machine 2. This arrangement gives great flexibility in the positioning of the reel holder cartridge with respect to the receiving cell.

Pour introduire la cartouche porte-bobine 100 dans la cellule 200 de réception, il suffit donc de tirer les glissières télescopiques 221,222, puis de descendre et dégager le deuxième engin 3 de manutention et de ramener lesdites glissières en position repliée avec la cartouche porte bobine.To introduce the reel holder cartridge 100 into the receiving cell 200, it suffices therefore to pull the telescopic slides 221,222, then to descend and release the second handling machine 3 and to bring said slides back to the folded position with the reel holder cartridge.

On peut voir sur la figure 7 que le dispositif de l'invention comprend un frein formé de deux bras articulés 310, 320, solidaires de la cartouche porte-bobine 100, portant à une extrémité respective une garniture 311,321 de frein agissant sur le mandrin 11, et commandés, chacun, à une autre extrémité, par un vérin 330 solidaire d'un châssis 230 de la cellule 200 de réception.It can be seen in FIG. 7 that the device of the invention comprises a brake formed by two articulated arms 310, 320, integral with the coil holder cartridge 100, carrying at a respective end a brake lining 311, 321 acting on the mandrel 11 , and each controlled at another end by a jack 330 secured to a frame 230 of the receiving cell 200.

Enfin, il est prévu un dispositif d'indexage et de réglage par pas du mouvement latéral des glissières télescopiques 221,222, afin de permettre un ajustement de la position du film provenant du porte-bobine par rapport à la machine à alimenter, thermoformeuse par exemple.Finally, there is provided a device for indexing and adjusting by step of the lateral movement of the telescopic slides 221,222, in order to allow an adjustment of the position of the film coming from the reel holder relative to the machine to be fed, thermoforming by example.

Dans le cas particulier de bobines étroites, on envisage que l'indexage desdites glissières est à positions multiples de manière à pouvoir utiliser plusieurs bobines sur la même cartouche porte-bobine, ces dernières venant successivement se mettre en place par rapport à la machine à chaque pas de position des glissières.In the particular case of narrow spools, it is envisaged that the indexing of said slides is at multiple positions so as to be able to use several spools on the same spool cartridge, the latter coming successively to be positioned relative to the machine at each no position of the slides.
