AI Technical Summary
Existing handling devices, such as forklifts, require multiple telemetry means to detect obstacles, increasing cost and resource consumption, and are limited to detecting obstacles within specific detection layers, failing to cover the entire environment.
The handling device incorporates telemetry means mounted and driven in motion relative to the handling means, allowing them to be positioned above or below handling elements, enabling detection of obstacles over a significant height and depth, including pallets and their loads, and determining optimal pick-up points and available space.
This configuration enhances obstacle detection capabilities, allowing for precise handling of objects on uneven surfaces and varying heights, improving operational efficiency and reducing resource requirements.

Description
Title of the invention: Device for handling at least one object
[0001] The present invention relates to a device for handling at least one object.
[0002] This invention relates to the field of manufacturing devices designed to handle objects, more particularly the field of manufacturing forklifts designed to handle goods, especially those positioned on pallets.
[0003] We already know of handling devices for at least one object which can take the form of a forklift.
[0004] Such a handling device comprises, on the one hand, a chassis, on the other hand, rolling means, which are mobile relative to the chassis, and which allow movement of such a handling device, on the other hand, handling means, which are mobile relative to the chassis, and which may comprise a pair of forks which are configured to cooperate with a pallet on which goods are arranged.
[0005] Such a handling device may also include telemetry means, which are fitted to the chassis or hood of such a handling device, and which are configured to measure the distance between the handling device and any obstacles that may impede the movement of the handling device. These telemetry means are associated with means for managing the operation of the handling device which may, if such an obstacle is detected by the telemetry means, emit a signal (visual and / or audible), or even act on the rolling means to brake, stop or divert the trajectory of the handling device.
[0006] These telemetry means, on the one hand, emit at least one beam of light and, on the other hand, collect at least one beam of light reflected by an obstacle. These beams of light extend across several detection layers, so that these telemetry means can only detect an obstacle located within such a detection layer. Consequently, these telemetry means cannot detect an obstacle located above their upper detection layer or below their lower detection layer.
[0007] Also, in order to scan the entire environment of the handling device, it is necessary to equip this handling device with a multitude of telemetry means which, on the one hand, increases the cost of such a handling device and, on the other hand, requires significant resources for the processing, by the means of managing the operation, of the data provided by these telemetry means.
[0008] The present invention is intended to remedy, at least in part, the drawbacks of prior art handling devices.
[0009] To this end, the invention relates to a device for handling at least one object. This handling device comprises, on the one hand, a chassis, on the other hand, rolling means and means for mounting the rolling means which are configured to mount the rolling means at least in rotation relative to the chassis, and on the other hand, means for handling at least one object, means for mounting the handling means which are configured to mount the handling means in motion relative to the chassis, and means for driving the handling means which are configured to drive the handling means in motion relative to the chassis.
[0010] This handling device is characterized by the fact that it includes at least one telemetry means which equips the handling means.
[0011] Another characteristic relates to the fact that the handling device comprises, on the one hand, means for mounting said at least one telemetry means which are configured to mount said at least one telemetry means in motion relative to the handling means and, on the other hand, means for driving said at least one telemetry means which are configured to drive said at least one telemetry means in motion relative to the handling means.
[0012] According to another feature, the mounting means for said at least one telemetry means and / or the drive means for said at least one telemetry means are configured to position said at least one telemetry means, as the case may be, above or below at least one handling element that the handling means comprise.
[0013] Yet another characteristic relates to the fact that the handling device includes a first telemetry means and a second telemetry means which equip the handling means.
[0014] According to another feature, the handling device is configured so that, on the one hand, the first telemetry means is positioned or can be positioned above or below at least one handling element that the handling means comprise and, on the other hand, the second telemetry means is positioned or can be positioned below or above said at least one handling element that the handling means comprise.
[0015] The invention also relates to a handling device, firstly, which has the characteristics described above, secondly, which is constituted by a forklift, and secondly, in which the handling means comprise at least one handling element which is constituted by a fork or the like, as well as a support, which is integral with said at least one handling element. handling, which is mounted in displacement relative to the chassis by means of the handling means mounting, which is driven in displacement relative to the chassis by means of the handling means driving, and which is equipped with said at least one telemetry means.
[0016] Thus, the handling device includes at least one telemetry means which equips the handling means which this handling device includes.
[0017] Because the handling equipment is mobile relative to the chassis, said at least one telemetry means is also mobile relative to the chassis, particularly vertically, just as the handling equipment is. This advantageously allows said at least one telemetry means to be moved relative to the chassis and also relative to the ground, particularly vertically, over a significant height, and thus to detect elements over a significant height that is considerably greater than the detection height allowed solely by the detection layers of a telemetry means fixed relative to the chassis. In particular, this allows the detection of obstacles (especially on the ground or overhead), a pallet, an object positioned on such a pallet, a shelf on which such a pallet should be positioned, or from which such a pallet should be loaded.
[0018] According to another feature, the handling device is configured so that said at least one telemetry means is positioned or can be positioned above or below at least one handling element that the handling means comprise.
[0019] These characteristics then advantageously allow such a telemetry means to be positioned above or below a handling device which can be a fork.
[0020] Thus, by positioning such a telemetry means above such a handling device, it is possible to detect a pallet and its load, in order to define the dimensions and the optimal pick-up point, as well as to evaluate the space available for depositing a new pallet.
[0021] By positioning such a telemetry device below such a handling device, it is possible to determine the perpendicularity of the handling device with respect to elements such as shelf beams, by measuring the distance and altitude. Furthermore, by positioning such a telemetry device below such a handling device, it is possible to detect obstacles located under a pallet being handled.
[0022] According to another feature, the handling device comprises, on the one hand, means for mounting said at least one telemetry means in motion relative to the handling means and, on the other hand, drive means said at least one means of telemetry in motion relative to the handling equipment.
[0023] These features allow, when the ground is uneven and / or a pallet is not level, the height of said at least one telemetry device to be varied, which then advantageously enables the detection of said pallet, particularly for the purpose of handling it. Furthermore, these features advantageously allow said at least one telemetry device to be moved (more specifically vertically) relative to the handling equipment, in order to position such a telemetry device above or below a handling element, particularly to obtain the advantages mentioned above.
[0024] Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent during the following description relating to embodiments which are given only by way of indicative and non-limiting examples.
[0025] Understanding this description will be facilitated by referring to the drawings attached in the appendix, in which:
[0026] [Fig-1] represents a schematic and perspective view of a device handling which includes a first telemetry means and a second telemetry means, these telemetry means being positioned below said at least one handling element.
[0027] [Fig.2] represents a schematic and perspective view of a handling device which includes a first telemetry means and a second telemetry means, these telemetry means being positioned above said at least one handling member.
[0028] [Fig.3] represents a schematic and perspective view of a handling device which comprises, on the one hand, a first telemetry means which is positioned below said at least one handling member and, on the other hand, a second telemetry means which is positioned above said at least one handling member, said at least one handling member being loaded by a pallet.
[0029] With reference to the figures in the attached drawings, the present invention relates to the field of manufacturing devices designed to ensure the handling of objects, more particularly the field of manufacturing forklifts designed to ensure the handling of goods, especially those positioned on pallets.
[0030] The invention relates, then, to a handling device 1 for at least one object.
[0031] Such a handling device 1 comprises a chassis 2.
[0032] Such a handling device 1 also includes rolling means (3; 3') and mounting means (4; 4') for these bearing means (3; 3') which are configured to mount the bearing means (3; 3') at least in rotation (more particularly around a horizontal axis) relative to chassis 2, more particularly on this chassis 2.
[0033] Such mounting means 4' can, furthermore, be configured to mount at least a part 3' of these rolling means (3; 3') in rotation (more particularly around a horizontal axis) as well as in pivoting (more particularly around a vertical axis) relative to the chassis 2, more particularly on this chassis 2.
[0034] The handling device 1 may also include drive means for at least a part 3' of the rolling means (3; 3') which are configured to drive said at least a part 3' of these rolling means (3; 3'), this at least in rotation (more particularly around a horizontal axis) as well as in pivoting (more particularly around a vertical axis) relative to the chassis 2, more particularly on this chassis 2. These drive means then advantageously allow the handling device 1 to be moved.
[0035] The handling device 1 also includes handling means 5 for at least one object. Such handling means 5 may then include, on the one hand, at least one support 50 which may have the form of a plate, a platform or the like and, on the other hand, at least one handling member 51 (or, preferably, two handling members 51, in particular parallel and / or extending along the same horizontal plane), which may (in particular each) have the form of a fork or the like, which extends from said at least one support 50, and which may, as the case may be, be fixedly attached to said support 50 or movable (more particularly in translation, in particular horizontally) relative to this support 50.
[0036] In addition, this handling device 1 includes mounting means 6 for the handling means 5 which are configured to mount the handling means 5 (more particularly said at least one support 50 which these handling means 5 include) in motion (more particularly in translation, in particular vertically) relative to the chassis 2, more particularly on this chassis 2.
[0037] The handling device 1 also includes drive means 7 for the handling means 5 which are configured to drive the handling means 5 (more particularly said at least one support 50 which these handling means 5 include) in movement (more particularly in translation, in particular vertically) relative to the chassis 2, more particularly on this chassis 2.
[0038] According to the invention, the handling device 1 includes at least one telemetry means (8; 8') which equips the handling means 5. In particular, said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') equips the support 50 which the handling means 5 include.
[0039] Such a telemetry means (8; 8') can be constituted by a LIDAR, which is an acronym for the Anglo-Saxon term "light detection and ranging" or "laser imaging detection and ranging". The operation of such a LIDAR is based on a remote measurement technique founded on the analysis of the properties of a beam of light (in particular a laser) reflected back to its emitter.
[0040] According to a first embodiment, said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') is fixedly attached to the handling means 5, more particularly to said support 50.
[0041] However, and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the handling device 5 includes mounting means (9; 9') for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') which are configured to mount said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') in motion (more particularly in translation, especially vertically) relative to the handling means 5 (more particularly relative to the support 50).
[0042] In this regard, it will be observed that the mounting means (9; 9') of said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') can, then, comprise, on the one hand, at least one translational mounting element which is integral (more particularly fixed) with the handling means 5 (more particularly with the support 50) and, on the other hand, at least one complementary translational mounting element, which is integral (more particularly fixed) with said at least one telemetry means (8; 8'), which cooperates with said at least one translational mounting element, and which is movable in translation relative to said at least one translational mounting element.
[0043] According to a first embodiment, said at least one translational mounting element may consist of a slide, respectively by a slider, while said at least one complementary translational mounting element may consist of a slider, respectively by a slide.
[0044] However, and according to a preferred embodiment, said at least one translational mounting element may consist of a cage which includes at least one roller (or, preferably, a plurality of rollers), respectively, a rail, while said at least one complementary translational mounting element may consist of a rail, respectively, a trolley which includes at least one roller (or, preferably, a plurality of rollers).
[0045] Additionally, the handling device 1 includes drive means for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') which are configured to drive said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') in movement (more particularly in translation, in particular vertically) relative to the handling means 5 (more particularly relative to the support 50).
[0046] In this regard, it will be observed that the drive means of said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') comprise, on the one hand, a screw (in particular trapezoidal) which is mobile at least in rotation at least with respect to the handling means 5 and / or with respect to said at least one telemetry means (8; 8').
[0047] These drive means for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') comprise, on the one hand, a nut which cooperates with the screw and, on the other hand, a motor (in particular a stepper motor) which comprises a rotor (which is rotationally fixed to the screw) and a stator.
[0048] In this regard and according to a first embodiment, said nut is attached (more particularly fixedly) to the handling means (5) while the stator is attached (more particularly fixedly) to said at least one telemetry means (8; 8'), more particularly through said complementary translational mounting element.
[0049] Alternatively, on the one hand, the nut is attached (more particularly fixedly) to said at least one telemetry means (8; 8'), more particularly through said complementary translational mounting element, while the stator is attached (more particularly fixedly) to the handling means (5).
[0050] According to another feature, the handling device 1 is configured so that said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') is positioned or can be positioned above or below said at least one handling member 51 that the handling means 5 comprise.
[0051] In this regard, it will be observed that, according to a first embodiment in which said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') is fixedly attached to the handling means 5, said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') is fixedly positioned above or below said at least one handling member 51 which the handling means 5 comprise.
[0052] However, and according to a preferred embodiment in which the handling device 1 comprises mounting means (9; 9) for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') and driving means for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') in movement relative to the handling means 5, the mounting means (9; 9') for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') and / or the driving means for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') are configured to position said at least one telemetry means (8; 8'), as the case may be, above or below said at least one handling member 51 that the handling means 5 comprise.
[0053] According to another feature, the handling device 1 comprises at least one means for detecting the position of said device and at least one telemetry means (8; 8') by relation to handling equipment 5 (more particularly in relation to support 50 and / or audit at least one handling device 51).
[0054] Such detection means include means for determining the number of revolutions made by the motor rotor. Because there is a direct relationship between the number of revolutions made by the motor rotor and the position of said at least one telemetry means (8; 8'), determining this number of revolutions advantageously allows the position of said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') to be deduced with particular precision.
[0055] According to another feature, the handling device 1 includes at least one end-of-travel detection means for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') in relation to the handling means 5.
[0056] Such a means of end-of-travel detection may include at least one inductive sensor.
[0057] As mentioned above, the handling device 1 includes at least one telemetry means (8; 8') which equips the handling means 5, more particularly the support 50 which these handling means 5 include.
[0058] According to a first embodiment, this handling device 1 comprises a single telemetry means 8 which equips these handling means 5, more particularly this support 50.
[0059] However, and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, this handling device 1 comprises a plurality of telemetry means (8; 8') which equip the handling means 5, more particularly the support 50.
[0060] In particular and as can be seen in the figures in the appendix, this handling device 1 may include, on the one hand, a first telemetry means 8 which equips the handling means 5 (more particularly the support 50) and, on the other hand, a second telemetry means 8' which also equips the handling means 5 (more particularly the support 50).
[0061] As regards said handling means 5 (more particularly the support 50), these comprise, on the one hand, a first lateral edge 52 and, on the other hand, a second lateral edge 53 which is, preferably, symmetrical to the first lateral edge 51, this with respect to said at least one handling member 51 mentioned above.
[0062] In such a case, the first telemetry means 8 is fitted to the first lateral edge 52 while the second telemetry means 8' is fitted to the second lateral edge 53.
[0063] According to another feature, the first telemetry means 8 and the second telemetry means 8' are positioned laterally with respect to said at least one handling member 51, which the handling means 5 comprise, and which may adopt the form of a fork.
[0064] Alternatively or (and preferably) additionally, the first telemetry means 8 and the second telemetry means 8' are positioned on either side of said at least one handling element 51 which the handling means 5 comprise.
[0065] According to another feature, the handling device 1 is configured so that, on the one hand, the first telemetry means 8 is positioned or can be positioned above or below said at least one handling element 51 which the handling means 5 comprise and, on the other hand, the second telemetry means 8' is positioned or can be positioned below or above said at least one handling element 51 which the handling means 5 comprise.
[0066] According to a first embodiment, on the one hand, the first telemetry means 8 is fixedly positioned above or below said at least one handling element 51 which the handling means 5 comprise and, on the other hand, the second telemetry means 8' is fixedly positioned below or above said at least one handling element 51 which the handling means 5 comprise.
[0067] However, according to a preferred embodiment and as mentioned above, the handling device 1 comprises, on the one hand, mounting means (9; 9') for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8) which are configured to mount said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') in motion (more particularly in vertical translation) relative to the handling means 5 and, on the other hand, drive means for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8) which are configured to drive said at least one telemetry means (8; 8) in motion (more particularly in vertical translation) relative to the handling means 5.
[0068] In this regard, it will be observed that the mounting means (9; 9') of said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') then comprise a first mounting means 9 of the first telemetry means 8 in movement (more particularly in vertical translation) relative to the handling means 5 (more particularly relative to the support 50) as well as a second mounting means 9' of the second telemetry means 8' in movement (more particularly in vertical translation) relative to the handling means 5 (more particularly relative to the support 50).
[0069] Additionally, the drive means for said at least one telemetry means (8; 8') comprise a first drive means for the movement (more particularly in vertical translation) of the first telemetry means 8 relative to the handling means 5 (more particularly relative to the support 50) and a second drive means for the movement (more particularly in vertical translation) of the second telemetry means 8' relative to the handling means 5 (more particularly relative to the support 50).
[0070] According to another feature, the first mounting means 9 and the first drive means can then be configured to position the first telemetry means 8, as appropriate, above or below said at least one handling member 51 that the handling means 5 comprise.
[0071] Alternatively or (and preferably) additionally, the second mounting means 9' and the second drive means are configured to position the second telemetry means 8', as appropriate, above or below said at least one handling member 51 of the handling means 5.
[0072] Finally, the handling device 1 includes control means which are configured to control the drive means of the rolling means (3, 3') and / or the drive means 7 of the handling means 5 and / or the drive means of said at least one telemetry means (8; 8').
[0073] According to another feature and as seen in the figures in the appendix, the handling device 1 consists of a forklift truck.
[0074] In such a handling device 1, the handling means 5 comprise a support 50, which is as described above, which is mounted in displacement (more particularly in vertical translation) relative to the chassis 2 by means of the mounting means 6 of the handling means 5, which is driven in displacement (more particularly in vertical translation) relative to the chassis 2 by means of the drive means 7 of the handling means 5, and which is equipped with said at least one telemetry means (8; 8'), this as described above.
[0075] In such a handling device 1, the handling means 5 further comprise at least one handling element 51 (preferably two handling elements 51), which is as described above, which is constituted by a fork or similar, and which is, as the case may be, fixedly attached to the support 50 or mounted in movement (more particularly in horizontal translation) relative to this support 50.
