Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an intermediate plate for sets of stacks of honeycomb trays receiving eggs.
  • honeycomb trays filled with products It is customary for such honeycomb trays filled with products to be arranged inside of packing boxes for the purpose of protection during their handling.
  • honeycomb trays are arranged in layers directly on handling pallets, and separated by dividers smooth cardboard, which pallets are then coated with a protective means intended to hold the entire load on the pallet. It is for example a plastic film openwork, similar to a net.
  • each tray In the case of eggs, each tray usually has thirty alveoli. Usually there are twelve stacks of six trays on a pallet so to cover the entire surface.
  • Each set therefore includes two thousand one hundred and sixty eggs and such stacked sets make up all or the top of a palette of transport and / or storage of eggs.
  • This arrangement and storage technique allows a saving of cardboard packaging and easier handling of eggs.
  • the load carried by the pallet presents a lack of stability during handling. Indeed, the adjoining stacks can slide one by compared to others and destabilize "the building", causing the deterioration of products transported, by crushing.
  • Document US-A-5 205 410 relates to an intermediate plate for sets of stacks of honeycomb trays receiving eggs.
  • This plate for example in rigid polyethylene, has a rim capable of covering and wedging on the layer of batteries lower.
  • connection of the intermediate plate with the lowest plate of the assembly upper is only done at its raised edges, so that the forces of horizontal contacts are concentrated only at these rectilinear edges.
  • the material of the plate is very rigid to be able to support such efforts.
  • the bowls are fitted between the plastic studs of empty trays. It exerts on the entire plate contact forces without friction which are concentrated on a reduced number of tops of studs.
  • the present invention overcomes these drawbacks.
  • each tray comprising a plurality of cells separated by studs and each receiving an article fragile, of the type comprising retaining members capable of ensuring cohesion on the one hand stacks of the same assembly and, on the other hand, the connection of the two superimposed assemblies.
  • said retaining members consist of cells and studs similar to those. honeycomb trays, so that it is adapted to rest by the bottom of its cells on the studs of the trays of the lower assembly, and for receive the trays of the upper assembly by mutual interlocking of the cells and studs.
  • the interlay plate fits perfectly between two batteries superimposed and is directly in contact with the eggs of the lower stack. Comparatively to the technique described in the aforementioned American document, one saves, according to the invention, the use of empty honeycomb trays.
  • the height of the building is less, in accordance with the invention.
  • no obstacle prevents a automatic depalletization of a building since the intermediate plate does not have any overflows and occupies no more space in height than a conventional honeycomb tray.
  • Figure 1 is shown very schematically, a load 1 honeycomb trays receiving eggs, placed on a pallet 2.
  • Each stack preferably has six honeycomb trays 5.
  • Above set 3 is a second set of the same type 3 ', which also receives a 3' 'set.
  • the pallet usually supports five sets of this type.
  • an intermediate plate 6 is extended between two superimposed sets, i.e. between sets 3 and 3 ', and between 3 'and 3 "sets.
  • this plate includes retaining means, not shown, capable of ensuring on the one hand the cohesion of the stacks 4a, 4b, 4c of the same 3.3 'or 3' 'assembly and, on the other hand, the connection between two superimposed assemblies.
  • the plate conforming to the invention is divided into a series of elementary surfaces 7a, 7b, 7c, etc. corresponding the number and location of the stacks of honeycomb trays.
  • FIG. 3 is shown in detail, seen from above and partially, an intermediate plate according to the invention.
  • the plate retaining members 60 consist of cells 61 and studs 62 similar to those of conventional honeycomb trays intended for receive eggs.
  • the plate includes twelve elementary surfaces 7. Only one of these 7d is shown entirely in the figure.
  • It comprises a series of five lines of five cells 61, separated diagonally two by two by a pad 62.
  • the surface 7d is separated from the surface 7c by an intermediate zone 8 partially hollowed out. They are connected to each other only by two connecting elements 64 and 65. The spacing between surfaces 7c and 7d corresponds to that which separates two stacks adjacent to honeycomb trays. The same goes for all other elementary surfaces.
  • the plate is adapted to rest by the bottom of its cells 61 on the pads 51 of the plates 5 of the lower assembly.
  • the outline of a tray of such an assembly has been delimited in dotted lines in FIG. 3 and the eggs E which it receives, represented in the form of circles, also in dotted lines.
  • the friction of the cells 61 on the pads 51 of the plates of the assembly lower are sufficient to ensure the cohesion of the batteries of the same set in a horizontal direction.
  • the contact forces with friction are exerted on 360 pads 51, or approximately on 720 cm 2 .
  • the plate 6 is also adapted to receive the plates of the upper assembly by mutual interlocking of the cells and the studs. This is what has been shown in Figure 6 (arrows f ). To do this, the plates of this assembly are deposited after having undergone a rotation of a quarter turn relative to the plates of the lower assembly.
  • This socket ensures the connection between the superimposed assemblies.
  • the contact forces are distributed over 360 half-cells of 10 cm 2 , i.e. a contact surface of 3600 cm 2 .
  • the plate according to the invention makes it possible to reduce the height of the loadings a few decimeters, which makes it easier to carry and move, for example lowering of the center of gravity. In addition, this makes it easier to carry out the visual inspection of the eggs in the upper piles, as well as the handling of the building.
  • the plate according to the invention occupies only part of the surface of the battery assemblies. For example, it covers all of the central stacks in each set and only a small part of the peripheral batteries. Although small in area, this plate is capable of ensuring the cohesion of the batteries of the same assembly and the connection of two superimposed sets.
  • this plate takes the form of a cross or a frame covering only the peripheral batteries.
  • the assemblies separated by the plate according to the invention are not necessarily supported on a pallet. They can rest directly on floor.
  • FIG. 7 shows a building 1 of honeycomb trays during unloading.
  • An automatic device 9 - or remote manipulator - is used for this purpose. It has a base 90 capable of being moved according to the double arrow g 1 and controlled remotely. It is also equipped with a series of articulated and possibly telescopic arms 91 and 92, at the end of which is mounted a fork 93 with two parallel arms 94.
  • the intermediate plate 6 has no projection and that it has a height substantially equal to that of a honeycomb plate 5, there is a passage F between two neighboring plates 5, of sufficient dimensions to be able to slide an arm 94 of the manipulator there.
  • the latter preferably has, as is visible, a bent section, so as to slide and position more easily along a plate 5.
  • the mutual spacing between the arms 94 is chosen so that the latter can be placed on each side of the oblique opposite edges of a honeycomb tray, in lightly enclosing it.
  • the length of the arms 94 can be provided, as shown on te Figure 7, to be able to move together several batteries 3 arranged one behind the other.
  • the remote manipulator is shown partially discharging batteries bottom of the set 1. It is obvious that we start by discharging the batteries your highest.
  • FIG. 7 also shows a conveyor belt C with a movable belt on which a stack 3 of trays has been previously deposited.
  • the direction of movement of the upper strand is symbolized by the arrow g 2 .
