Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne une installation permettant le décodage de la position d' un symbole ou groupe de symboles figurant sur une partie mobile par rapport à un repère, lorsque la partie mobile est à l'arrêt ou en mouvement.The invention relates to an installation allowing the decoding of the position of a symbol or group of symbols appearing on a mobile part with respect to a marker, when the mobile part is stopped or in motion.
L'objet de l'invention trouve son application dans tous les domaines où un ou plusieurs éléments mobiles portant ou non des inscriptions telles que des symboles se déplacent par rapport à un repère fixe et où la position de ces inscriptions par rapport à ces repèresdoit pouvoir être décodée d'une manière fiable et instantanée en évitant l'usage de moyens faisant appel à des mécanismes qui soit peuvent se dérégler, soit sont d'une manière continue soumis à l'usure.The object of the invention finds its application in all the fields where one or more mobile elements carrying or not inscriptions such as symbols move relative to a fixed reference mark and where the position of these inscriptions relative to these reference marks must be able be decoded in a reliable and instantaneous manner avoiding the use of means calling upon mechanisms which either can be out of balance, or are continuously subjected to wear.
L'invention visé donc à fournir une se- lution techniquement simple, applicable à tout mécanisme dont une ou plusieurs parties sont mobiles et dans lesquelles on désire connaître la position par rapport à un repère lorsque la partie mobile considérée est à l'arrét ou en mouvement.The invention therefore aims to provide a technically simple solution, applicable to any mechanism of which one or more parts are mobile and in which it is desired to know the position relative to a reference when the mobile part considered is stopped or in movement.
A cet effet, l'installation selon l'invention comprend, pour chaque partie mobile, un ou plusieurs détecteurs de proximité qui sont fixes par rapport audit repère, lui-même fixe par rapport au bâti de l'installation, tandis que la partie mobile précitée porte, en regard de certains symboles ou groupe de symboles, une zone en une matière déterminée dont la présence peut être signalée par les détecteurs de proximité précités.For this purpose, the installation according to the invention comprises, for each movable part, one or more proximity detectors which are fixed relative to said reference mark, itself fixed relative to the frame of the installation, while the aforementioned movable part bears, opposite certain symbols or group of symbols, an area of a specific material whose presence can be signaled by the aforementioned proximity detectors.
Selon une première forme de réalisation, la surface de la partie mobile précitée est constituée par une matière non conductrice de l'électricité, la zone précitée portée par la surface ce la partie mobile précitée étant alors constituée de préférence par une matière métallique.According to a first embodiment, the surface of the aforementioned movable part consists of a material which is not electrically conductive, the aforementioned zone carried by the surface that the aforementioned movable part then preferably consists of a metallic material.
Selon une autre forme de réalisation, la surface de la partie mobile précitée est constituée par une matière métallique, la zone précitée portée par ladite partie mobile précitée étant alors constituée par une matière métallique de nature différente de celle dont est constituée la surface de ladite partie mobile.According to another embodiment, the surface of the aforementioned movable part is made of a metallic material, the aforementioned zone carried by said aforementioned movable part then being made of a metallic material of a different nature from that of which the surface of said part is made mobile.
L'invention concerne aussi un procédé de réalisation d'une bande de matière présentant des zones offrant des caractéristiques de conductivité électrique ou magnétique différentes.The invention also relates to a method of producing a strip of material having zones offering different electrical or magnetic conductivity characteristics.
D'autres détails et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui sera donnée ci-après d'une installation permettant le décodage de la position d'un symbole figurant sur une surface mobile par rapport à un repère, selon l'invention. Cette description n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et ne limite pas l'invention. Les notations de référence se rapportent aux figures annexées.Other details and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which will be given below of an installation allowing the decoding of the position of a symbol appearing on a movable surface with respect to a marker, according to the invention. This description is given only for example and does not limit the invention. The reference notations refer to the appended figures.
La figure 1 représente schématiquement un tambour dont la surface de révolution comporte des symboles dont la position, lorsque le tambour est à l'arrêt ou en mouvement, doit être déterminée par rapport à des capteurs qui sont fixes par rapport au bâti de l'installation dans lequel tourne le tambour.FIG. 1 schematically represents a drum whose surface of revolution includes symbols whose position, when the drum is stopped or in motion, must be determined relative to sensors which are fixed relative to the frame of the installation in which the drum turns.
La figure 2 représente, également schématiquement, un tableau de décodage pour cinq positions différentes du tambour par rapport aux cinq capteurs.FIG. 2 also shows schematically a decoding table for five different positions of the drum relative to the five sensors.
Dans l'installation .représentée à titre d'exemple sont montés un ou plusieurs tambours dont la surface de révolution porte des subdivisions qui correspondent aux secteurs 1 à 20 représentés schématiquement à la figure 1. Certaines parties de la surface de révolution correspondant à certains secteurs portent des symboles. C'est ainsi que des symboles ou des inscriptions quelconques figurent sur la surface de révolution à hauteur des secteurs suivants : 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, lO, 14, 19 et 20.In the installation shown as an example, one or more drums are mounted, the surface of revolution of which carries subdivisions which correspond to the
Le repère par rapport auquel on désire déco der la position d'un symbole peut être une lumière, une fenêtre, un trait ou tout autre moyen de repérage. A la figure 1 le repère est représenté par le trait R.The reference with respect to which it is desired to decode the position of a symbol may be a light, a window, a line or any other means of identification. In Figure 1 the reference is represented by the line R.
Quant aux capteurs ils sont désignés par les lettres A, B, C, D, E. Ils sont, bien entendu, fixes par rapport à l'installation.As for the sensors, they are designated by the letters A, B, C, D, E. They are, of course, fixed relative to the installation.
Il est entendu que dans une installation de type différent, les parties mobiles peuvent être des éléments rectilignes effectuant, par exemple, un déplacement linéaire en regard du repère R cité plus haut.It is understood that in an installation of a different type, the mobile parts can be rectilinear elements performing, for example, a linear movement opposite the reference R cited above.
Dans un tel cas, les capteurs A, B, C, D, E seront disposés sur une droite.In such a case, sensors A, B, C, D, E will be arranged on a straight line.
Les capteurs sont en réalité des détecteurs de proximité. De tels détecteurs de proximité réagissant, par exemple, à une modification du couplage magnétique entre deux éléments peuvent avantageusement être constitués par des appareils commercialisés, par exemple par la firme HONEYWELL sous la référence 921.C5.The sensors are actually proximity detectors. Such proximity detectors reacting, for example, to a modification of the magnetic coupling between two elements can advantageously be constituted by devices sold, for example by the company HONEYWELL under the reference 921.C5.
De tels détecteurs de proximité agissant en fonction d'une modification du circuit magnétique entre deux éléments permettent évidemment de nombreuses formes de réalisation.Such proximity detectors acting according to a modification of the magnetic circuit between two elements obviously allow many embodiments.
Dans une première forme de réalisation, la surface de révolution du tambour peut être une matière non conductrice d'électricité, par exemple , une matière plastique. Dans un tel cas,les zones qui influenceront les détecteurs de proximité seront des zones métallisées.In a first embodiment, the surface of revolution of the drum can be an electrically non-conductive material, for example, a plastic material. In such a case, the zones which will influence the proximity detectors will be metallized zones.
Un procédé de métallisation d'une bande de matière plastique peut consister par exemple dans une série d'opérations qui consistent à plonger la bande en question dans un bain d'acide fluorhydrique et phosphorique, à masquer les zones destinées à demeurer exemptes de métal, à procéder au microbillage des zones à métalliser et à projeter sur ces zones du métal en fusion.A method of metallizing a strip of plastic material can consist, for example, of a series of operations which consist in immersing the strip in question in a hydrofluoric and phosphoric acid bath, in masking the zones intended for remain free of metal, micro-blast the areas to be metallized and spray molten metal onto these areas.
Il est évident cependant que si la bande elle-même était métallique, il suffirait de déposer sur des zones déterminées un métal différent de celui dont elle est constituée.It is obvious, however, that if the strip itself was metallic, it would suffice to deposit on specific areas a metal different from that of which it is made up.
Au lieu de projeter du métal en fusion sur les zones déterminées, on peut évidemment procéder aussi au nickelage, au chromage, ou au dépôt de métal par tout autre procédé.Instead of projecting molten metal onto the determined zones, it is obviously also possible to nickel-plating, chromium-plating or depositing metal by any other process.
Il est évident que l'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes d'exécution décrites ci-dessus et que bien des modifications pourraient y être apportées sans sortir du cadre de la présente demande de brevet.It is obvious that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and that many modifications could be made without departing from the scope of this patent application.
