Description

Bench for handling and tilting pressurized gas cylinders

The present invention relates to a bench for handling and tilting pressurized gas cylinders.

We know that pressurized gas cylinders are used in many areas of application.

But the handling of these poses a certain number of problems.

In fact, these bottles can have large dimensions and, above all, such weight that it is extremely difficult to handle them.

We can therefore understand that interventions on this type of bottle are extremely difficult.

In particular, the handling of these and their movement between different intervention positions are made extremely difficult, even dangerous for operators.

The aim of the invention is therefore to resolve these problems by proposing a bench to assist in the handling of these bottles.

For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a bench for handling and tilting gas bottles under pressure, characterized in that it comprises means for receiving the bottles, capable of receiving bottles of different diameters horizontally. and tiltable from their horizontal position to a vertical position facilitating work on these bottles.

• les moyens de réception des bouteilles comprennent au moins un plateau de réception de bouteilles articulé sur le reste du banc et associé à des moyens d’actionnement pour basculer ce plateau entre ses positions horizontale et verticale ;
• les moyens d’actionnement comprennent au moins un vérin hydraulique ;
• le vérin hydraulique est associé à des moyens de mise en œuvre manuels ;
• les moyens de réception comprennent au moins deux plateaux de réception de bouteilles en parallèle ;
• il comporte un premier niveau de travail et au moins un second niveau de travail permettant d’intervenir sur les bouteilles lorsque celles-ci sont à l’horizontale ou à la verticale ;
• au moins un escalier est prévu entre les niveaux du banc ;
• il comporte au moins une potence de manutention ;
• il est réalisé sous la forme d’un châssis mécano-soudé.

According to other characteristics of the bench according to the invention, taken alone or in combination:

• the bottle receiving means comprise at least one bottle receiving plate articulated on the rest of the bench and associated with actuation means for tilting this plate between its horizontal and vertical positions;
• the actuation means comprise at least one hydraulic cylinder;
• the hydraulic cylinder is associated with manual means of implementation;
• the receiving means comprise at least two bottle receiving trays in parallel;
• it comprises a first working level and at least a second working level allowing work on the bottles when they are horizontal or vertical;
• at least one staircase is provided between the levels of the bench;
• it includes at least one handling crane;
• it is made in the form of a mechanically welded chassis.

• La représente une vue en perspective schématique d’un exemple de réalisation tel qu’un banc de manutention et de basculement selon l’invention.

The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings in which:

• There represents a schematic perspective view of an exemplary embodiment such as a handling and tilting bench according to the invention.

This figure shows a bench for handling and tilting gas bottles under pressure.

This bench is designated by the general reference 1 in these figures.

It then includes means for receiving gas bottles, capable of receiving bottles of different dimensions such as for example different diameters, horizontally and which can be tilted from their horizontal position to a vertical position facilitating work on these bottles.

In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in this figure, two pressurized gas cylinders designated by the general references 2 and 3, having dimensions such as for example different diameters, are received and placed on corresponding receiving trays of the bench, designated by the general references 4 and 5 in this figure.

These plates 4 and 5 are articulated on the rest of the bench and are associated with actuation means for switching these plates between horizontal and vertical positions.

These tilting platforms are then associated for example with actuation means comprising at least one hydraulic cylinder.

This cylinder can then be associated with means of manual implementation by an operator, to move the trays and the bottles between the horizontal position illustrated and a vertical position allowing work on these bottles.

In the example shown, two parallel trays are shown.

It goes without saying that a different number of trays can be considered.

In the example illustrated, the bench comprises a first working level designated by the general reference 6 in this figure and at least a second working level 7, making it possible to work on the bottles when they are horizontal or vertically.

A first access staircase designated by the general reference 8, can for example provide access to the first level, while a second staircase designated by the general reference 9 is provided between the levels of the bench.

As is also illustrated in these figures, this bench can for example include at least one load handling jib, designated by the general reference 10.

This then makes it possible, for example, to facilitate operator interventions on the bottles.

For example, the bench according to the invention can be produced in the form of a mechanically welded chassis.

We can then see that this type of structure presents a certain number of advantages insofar as it facilitates work on bottles.
