    [0001] The invention relates to a device for transporting an object (s) such that fruits or vegetables comprising a receptacle for receiving objects. at least one object -especially a single object-, a support adapted to be associated with a drive device in a direction, said longitudinal direction, and a connecting mechanism of the receptacle to the support, on the one hand the lateral tilting of the receptacle relative to the support for unloading each object carried by the receptacle, and, secondly, a relative movement of the receptacle upwards relative to the support for the purpose of weighing each object carried. by the receptacle. It also relates to a conveying and weighing device - in particular a device for sorting object (s) such (s) as fruits or vegetables equipped with at least a plurality of such transport devices. Conveying devices are already known comprising objects conveying devices such as fruits or vegetables comprising receptacles, arranged along a conveying line - in particular interposed between conveying rolls with transverse axes of the conveying line - and which, on the one hand, are tilting laterally on at least one side of the conveying line and, on the other hand, are mounted with the possibility of vertical displacements so as to allow weighing during the passage to the right of a weighing station of the conveying device. When these transport devices are used for sorting objects, the receptacles are tilting laterally on at least one side of the conveying line. The known weighing weighing receptacles all have different disadvantages. Firstly, the linking mechanism allowing the vertical displacements for weighing often prohibits tipping possibilities on both sides of the conveying line, which considerably limits the flexibility of operation and the performance of the conveying device. Indeed, the conveying device allows in particular the sorting of the objects and the fact of tilting the receptacles on one side and the other increases the number of receiving stations objects for sorting or reduces the 3035087 2 length of the device for the same number of receiving stations. More generally, tipping possibilities on both sides make it possible to adapt the same receptacle to different configurations of conveying devices. Moreover, in the known transport devices, the connecting mechanism of each receptacle on its support has a kinematic (cantilever rails, rotary guide ...) which is complex, cumbersome, requires a large number of parts , and often interferes with that of the weighing members and / or generates undesirable friction reactions, affecting the accuracy of the weighing.
    [0002] It should be noted in this respect that it is important that the weighing members cooperate directly and solely with the receptacle, and in particular that the connecting mechanism is not itself supported by the weighing members, not only so that the mass supported by the weighing members is as small as possible, but also in particular to avoid any relative movement likely to cause inertia forces and inadvertent tipping during weighing. In certain known devices, the receptacle is articulated with respect to the support around at least one longitudinal (FR2960866) or transverse (W02005037453) axis, or even a deformable parallelogram (US5306877), the weighing being carried out by pivoting at least one piece mechanism around such an axis. This type of assembly raises the problem of a lack of linearity due to rotation and friction in the pivot axes that can lead to imprecise weighing, especially in wet and / or dirty environments such as agricultural facilities. In addition, the weighing members often form four weighing points of the receptacle for weighing. In most cases, at least three separate weigh points are required. The result is a complex weighing station that is susceptible to instability. It is indeed very difficult to ensure that the three or four weighing points are perfectly coplanar and remain so during the life of the machine.
    [0003] In other known transport devices the receptacles are formed only of transverse rollers adapted to allow weighing and laterally tilting for unloading. Again, weighing requires four weighing points. These known transport devices also have the disadvantage of a relative complexity of mounting the rollers, and are therefore of significant cost and / or of a lower quality of weighing in terms of accuracy, fidelity and reliability. in time, because of the four weighing points. In all known transport devices, the connecting mechanism is therefore particularly complex, bulky in height, requires a large number of parts, tormented forms, expensive to manufacture, generating a tare of significant value, sources of malfunctions and likely to interfere with weighing, affecting accuracy, fidelity and reliability. The invention therefore aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a transport device in which the connecting mechanism is simple, comprises a small number of parts, and providing a reliable, accurate and frictionless guidance of each receptacle relative to its support, allowing lateral tilting - including bilateral tilting - and accurate and accurate weighing of each receptacle and each object. The invention also aims at providing such a transport device in which the connecting mechanism is compact in height. The invention also aims at providing such a transport device 20 in which the receptacle in the weighing position is precisely guided and maintained relative to the support and relative to the weighing members. The invention also aims at providing such a transport device in which the weighing scale (empty weight supported by the weighing members) is low. The invention therefore relates to an object transport device 25 comprising a receptacle adapted to receive at least one object, a support adapted to be associated with a drive device in a direction, said longitudinal direction of drive, and a mechanism for connecting the receptacle to the support, this connecting mechanism being arranged to: - secure the receptacle and the support in longitudinal translation, 30 - allow a lateral tilting of the receptacle for lateral unloading of each object carried by the receptacle, 3035087 4 and allow a relative movement of the receptacle in vertical translation relative to the support in a path adapted to the weighing of the receptacle and the object (s) it carries, characterized in that said connecting mechanism comprises at least one ball 5 interposed and trapped between at least one scope of the receptacle and at least one bearing surface to be able to roll without sliding green ically on at least one of these staves. Throughout the text, the term "direction" is used in the common sense of the term and not in the mathematical sense, that is, refers to an orientation including a meaning. The terms "anterior" and "posterior" and their derivatives are used with reference to the longitudinal direction, an anterior member being located downstream in the direction of movement in the longitudinal direction relative to a posterior member. Advantageously and according to the invention, at least one of said spans - in particular each span - is a range, called vertical span, extending vertically over a distance greater than the diameter of a ball cooperating with this vertical reach, to allow a relative vertical displacement of this rolling ball without sliding along this vertical reach. The invention thus provides a precise and constant rigid retention of the receptacle relative to the support in the longitudinal direction of drive, allowing a drive in continuous translation without risk of jolts, and a guide relative movements of the receptacle relative to the support, both in rotation during tilting and in vertical translation during weighing, by means of at least one ball of this connecting mechanism that can both serve as a pivot and can roll without slipping on to minus a vertical reach of the receptacle and / or the support. This results in a particularly simple connection mechanism, consisting of a small number of parts, compact, reliable, not interfering with the weighing and thus not affecting its accuracy, its fidelity, or its sensitivity, and compatible with two-sided tipping of the receptacle.
    [0004] In particular, it is possible to produce a transport device according to the invention so that the guiding of the receptacle relative to the support in the high weighing position intervenes only through one or more rolling balls without sliding. that is to say substantially without friction.
    [0005] In other words, the connecting mechanism of a transport device according to the invention can be arranged in such a way that at least in the high position of weighing the receptacle and the support are in contact mainly - especially exclusively - via at least one rolling ball without sliding on at least one vertical reach of the receptacle and / or the support and not inducing any vertical reaction on the receptacle. Advantageously, and according to the invention, at least one vertical span is a transverse surface, that is to say adapted to produce a resultant reaction reaction of a ball on this surface which is oriented in the longitudinal direction of training. For example, such a transverse vertical reach has a vertical plane rolling track orthogonal to the longitudinal driving direction, or two vertical running lateral tracks symmetrical to each other with respect to a longitudinal plane and not parallel to the longitudinal plane. longitudinal direction of drive. Each ball is trapped in the connecting mechanism 20 between at least two spans - in particular between at least two vertical spans - of the receptacle and the support, but free to roll without sliding vertically against at least one of these spans. These bearing surfaces are at least partially facing each other in the longitudinal driving direction so that each ball is capable of transmitting longitudinal forces, in particular longitudinal translation drive forces and / or inertia efforts between the receptacle and the support. On the other hand, in some embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, a single ball is interposed and trapped between at least one pair of spans comprising a receptacle span and a bearing span. Nothing prevents alternatively or in combination to provide 3035087 6 several balls interposed and trapped between at least one pair of such litters. Furthermore, in certain embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, the transport device is also characterized in that the connecting mechanism of a pair of parts formed of a receptacle and a support has: an anterior vertical bearing and a vertical rearward bearing of one of these two pieces, these anterior and posterior vertical bearing being spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction, at least one ball, called anteroposterior ball trapped in a vertical slot of the other piece passing through the thickness of the latter in the longitudinal direction, this anteroposterior ball having a diameter less than the spacing of said anterior and posterior vertical bearing surfaces, and greater than the thickness said vertical slot in the longitudinal direction so as to come into contact with one of the vertical front and rear vertical surfaces. The spacing of said vertical anterior and posterior vertical surfaces is therefore greater than the thickness of said other part around said vertical slot. The receptacle is therefore mounted with a non-zero longitudinal clearance (but as small as possible to allow the rolling of the ball) relative to the support. But this game is caught up in operation under the effect of inertia efforts. The diameter of each anteroposterior ball is also less than the length of the vertical slot and said anterior and posterior vertical ranges to permit rolling of this ball along the vertical slot and said anterior and posterior vertical reaches. Advantageously, in certain embodiments and according to the invention, the vertical slot has an open upper end allowing the mounting of each anteroposterior ball, preferably by force engagement by elastic deformation of the edges facing this upper end of 30. way to prohibit any subsequent untimely extraction of the anteroposterior ball out of the vertical slot. Also said vertical slot advantageously has concave profiled lateral rolling tracks shaped to retain each anteroposterior ball between them and allow the rolling of this ball in the vertical slot. On the other hand, in some embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, each vertical slot receives a single anteroposterior ball. Nothing prevents to provide alternatively several anteroposterior balls in at least one vertical slot. Advantageously and according to the invention, at least one vertical slot is formed in the support and said vertical anterior and posterior vertical surfaces are formed on the receptacle. Alternatively or in combination, at least one vertical slot is formed in the receptacle and said vertical anterior and posterior vertical surfaces are formed on the support. In addition, advantageously and according to the invention, at least one vertical slot and said anterior and posterior vertical bearing surfaces are located at the top of the connecting mechanism, at least one anteroposterior ball thus providing a guide between the receptacle and the support. in the upper part of the support. Furthermore, in certain embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, a transport device according to the invention comprises two vertical slots laterally spaced apart from each other each comprising at least one anteroposterior ball. Advantageously and according to the invention the two vertical slots extend in the same transverse plane and in the upper part of said other part. These two vertical slots and said anterior and posterior vertical bearing surfaces and the corresponding anteroposterior balls of a connecting mechanism of a transport device according to some advantageous embodiments of the invention provide stable lateral guidance while maintaining the alignment with the longitudinal direction during relative vertical displacements of the receptacle relative to the support, and also participate in guiding during lateral tilting.
    [0006] Furthermore, in certain embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, the mechanism for connecting a pair of pieces formed of a receptacle and a support has at least one anterior ball interposed and trapped between at least one anterior reach of the receptacle and at least one anterior reach of the support to be able to roll without sliding vertically on and between these prior ranges. One of these anterior reaches is oriented downstream of the longitudinal direction, while the other anterior reach is oriented upstream of the longitudinal direction. A slight longitudinal clearance (not zero but as small as possible to allow the rolling of the ball) can be provided between these anterior litters. Preferably, on the contrary, each anterior ball is in rolling contact with each of the anterior spans, without longitudinal play. Advantageously and according to the invention, said anterior lands define at least one vertical rolling track of an anterior ball of the connecting mechanism. At least one of the anterior litters is therefore a vertical litter. Also, in certain embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, the mechanism for connecting a pair of pieces formed of a receptacle and a support has at least one posterior ball interposed and trapped between at least one posterior bearing surface. receptacle and at least one rear bearing surface of the support to be able to roll without sliding vertically on and between these posterior staves. One of these posterior spans is oriented downstream of the longitudinal direction, while the other rear span is oriented upstream of the longitudinal direction. A slight longitudinal clearance (not zero but as small as possible to allow the rolling of the ball) can be provided between these posterior reaches. Preferably, on the contrary, each posterior ball is in rolling contact with each of the posterior seats, without longitudinal play. Advantageously and according to the invention said rear vertical bearing surfaces define at least one vertical rolling track of a rear ball of the connecting mechanism. At least one of the posterior spans is therefore a vertical span.
    [0007] On the other hand, in certain embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, the mechanism for connecting a pair of pieces formed of a receptacle and a support comprises a pivot with a longitudinal axis allowing lateral tilting of the receptacle. at least one side of the support for unloading objects. Advantageously and according to the invention, said longitudinal pivot is at least partially formed of a ball interposed between a vertical bearing surface of the receptacle facing upstream of the longitudinal driving direction and a vertical bearing surface of the support facing downstream. the longitudinal direction of drive.
    [0008] Furthermore, in some embodiments advantageously and according to the invention the connecting mechanism is adapted to allow a tilting of the receptacle on each side of the support. It is therefore a bilateral tilting link mechanism. Further advantageously and according to the invention the connecting mechanism comprises a locking of the receptacle in the central and low position of transport relative to the support. Furthermore, in certain embodiments advantageously and according to the invention each receptacle is a cup adapted to receive an object individually. It can be advantageously bucket or hand transport individual objects such as fruits or vegetables.
    [0009] The invention nevertheless also applies to other types of receptacles, which can receive several objects each. In a transport device according to the invention during the vertical relative displacements of the receptacle relative to the support to move to the weighing position, and to return to the low transport position, the receptacle is guided with respect to the support and in contact with this last mainly - especially exclusively - through balls - especially at least three balls, preferably four balls rolling without sliding on at least one vertical range. This results in zero or negligible friction, no vertical reaction on the receptacle induced by the connecting mechanism, which is therefore without interference with the weighing, and reliable, stable and accurate guidance. The whole is obtained by means of a very small number of pieces, namely only the two formed parts of the receptacle and the support, besides the balls. The invention also extends to a device for conveying and weighing objects comprising: - an endless chain having a horizontal upper section, - a drive device with continuous running of the endless chain in a longitudinal direction driving said upper section, - devices for transporting objects distributed along the endless chain, carried by the latter and integral in translation thereof, each transport device comprising a receptacle adapted to receive at least one object, a support connected to the drive device to be driven by the latter in the longitudinal direction of drive, and a connecting mechanism of the receptacle to the support, this connecting mechanism being arranged to: o secure the receptacle and the support in longitudinal translation, o allow a lateral tilting of the receptacle relative to the support for the purpose of lateral unloading. e each object carried by the receptacle, o and allow a relative movement of the receptacle upwards relative to the support in a stroke suitable for weighing the receptacle and the object (s) it carries, - at least one weighing station comprising, on said upper portion of the endless chain: at least one slide arranged along a portion of said upper section of the endless chain to be able to cooperate with the receptacles so as to move them relative to the supports vertically upwards in the high weighing position, o and at least one weighing device for the receptacles in the high weighing position, characterized in that each object transport device is a device for transporting objects according to the invention. invention.
    [0010] In a device for conveying and weighing objects according to the invention, the weighing device associated with the slideways cooperates directly and only with the receptacles in the weighing position. A device for conveying and weighing objects according to the invention can be equipped with at least one simplified weighing device. Thus, advantageously and according to the invention, a device for conveying and weighing objects comprises at least one weighing station comprising weighing members adapted to cooperate with the conveying receptacles so as to temporarily support them for weighing purposes. Advantageously, in a device for conveying and weighing objects according to the invention, each weighing device is adapted to support the receptacle only at two weighing points situated on one side and the other - in particular symmetrically - a longitudinal median plane of the receptacle. Furthermore, in certain advantageous embodiments of a device for conveying and weighing objects according to the invention, each receptacle is interposed on the endless chain between two rollers freely rotatable about transverse axes of rotation driven into translation along the longitudinal direction by said endless chain. Thus, a device for conveying and weighing objects according to the invention comprises at least one conveying line comprising rollers interposed between the conveying receptacles and adapted to guide and / or drive the conveying line with respect to at least portions of a frame and / or to temporarily support the objects in at least a portion of their path. Such a conveyor line, called a single line, makes it possible to carry out all the analyzes of the objects, including the optical analyzes and their weighing, then their sorting by unloading in sorting receiving stations, without transfer of the objects of one conveyor line to another. In some embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, each roller is mounted so that it can be moved in vertical translation with respect to the endless chain, a pair of successive rollers being movable upwards to support an object initially supported by a receptacle. Such rollers may also cooperate with a device for rotating these rollers about their axis, so as to rotate an object supported between these rollers, for example for the purpose of optical analysis of the object.
    [0011] Advantageously, in certain embodiments, the receptacle and the rollers which abut it in the longitudinal direction are nested, each roll being formed of a plurality of parallel disks mounted on the axis of rotation, the receptacle comprising slots allowing the passage of each disc of each roll which adjoins it.
    [0012] In certain embodiments, advantageously and according to the invention, each support of a transport device according to the invention carries a receptacle and an adjacent roller. Further advantageously and according to the invention said endless chain may be formed by the supports of the transport devices articulated to each other two by two successively in the longitudinal direction, each support thus forming a link in the chain. A device for conveying and weighing objects according to the invention can thus be formed of a very small number of parts, which can be formed of molded synthetic material (with the possible exception of the axes of articulation of the supports between them , rotational axes 20 of the rollers and longitudinal metal reinforcements can be inserted into the supports), while providing advanced functions and outstanding performance, particularly with regard to the weighing and sorting of objects. A device for conveying and weighing objects according to the invention may comprise a single conveying line (with a single endless chain) comprising such receptacles, in particular interposed between transverse axis conveying rollers driven in longitudinal translation with receptacles. Nothing prevents on the contrary to provide a plurality of parallel conveying lines. A device for conveying and weighing objects according to the invention may form or be part of a sorting unit for objects such as fruits or vegetables, depending in particular on their weight. It may be for example 3035087 13 advantageously a fruit or vegetable sizer. It then comprises, downstream of at least one weighing station objects - and preferably at least one optical analysis station and / or other criteria for sorting objects - a plurality of zones of lateral unloading of the transported objects and controlled devices of selective tilting of the receptacles facing each lateral discharge zone on command of a central sorting unit connected to the weighing station and to these controlled selective switching devices. The invention also relates to a transport device and a device for conveying and weighing objects characterized in combination by all or some of the characteristics mentioned above or below. Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will become apparent on reading the following non-limiting description which refers to the appended figures in which: FIG. 1 is an elevational diagram of a conveying device , FIG. 2 is a perspective diagram showing two transport devices according to the invention interconnected to form an endless chain portion of a conveyor, weighing device. 3 is a perspective diagram showing a molded part 20 forming a support of a transport device according to the invention; FIG. 4 is a perspective diagram showing with partial posterior tearing; a molded part forming a receptacle of a transport device according to the invention; - FIG. 5 is a perspective diagram showing a transport device according to the invention Lateral tilting purpose, - Figure 6 is a perspective diagram showing with partial rear torn a transport device according to the invention at the end of lateral tilting, the roll not being shown, - Figure 7 is a perspective diagram. representing a transport device according to the invention in the high weighing position, FIG. 8 is a perspective diagram and in longitudinal middle section showing a transport device according to the invention in a high weighing position, the roll n FIG. 9 is a perspective and cross-sectional diagram illustrating a foot of the support and a receptacle of a transport device according to the invention in a high weighing position. The device for conveying, analyzing and sorting objects shown diagrammatically by way of example in FIG. 1 (in this figure the scales are not respected, for purposes of illustration) comprises a frame 10 and a 10 endless single chain 11 forming an endless loop which, in the example is formed of a plurality of supports 22 articulated to each other two by two successively by transverse axes all parallel to each other. Each support 22 is therefore a link in the chain. It should be noted that nothing prevents, as a variant, not shown, that the supports 22 do not act as links of the endless chain 11, and are riders carried and driven by interconnected links of an endless chain. . The chain 11 extends in a longitudinal direction orthogonal to the axes of articulation of the supports 22. The chain 11 cooperates with two end drums 14, 15 so as to form an endless loop and to have an upper upward section 12 generally horizontal and a lower return section 13 also generally horizontal extending under the forward section 12 and in line with the latter. At least one of the two drums 14, 15 is rotated relative to the frame 10 by a driving device (not shown), so that the endless chain 11 is also driven continuously in its longitudinal direction and in a The upper portion 12 comprises in the example shown successively an optical analysis station 16, a weighing station 17, a tilting sorting station 18. The objects to be sorted are received at this point. the input of the forward section 12 to 30 upstream of the optical analysis station 16 in receptacles 20 carried by the supports 22. They pass opposite the different positions of the upper section and are 3035087 delivered in one of a plurality of receiving stations 19 selectively supplied by the sorting station 18. In the example shown, the endless chain 11 carries receptacles 20 and rollers 21 interposed between the receptacles 20. In addition to the endless chain 11, the device is also provided with guide rails of the chain and / or receptacles. 20 and / or rollers 21. Thus, the supports 22 are advantageously received and guided in longitudinal translation in a rail 26 defining the upper section. The general characteristics of such a conveyor line 10 are well known in themselves (see for example FR2960866, EP0580784, EP1689536 ...) so that the following description mainly details the characteristics of the invention. In the following, and throughout the text unless otherwise indicated, each transport device is described considering that it is located on the upper section 12, the receptacle can carry and transport an object.
    [0013] In particular the terms "high" and "low" refer to such a position. Each support 22 forms a foot 25 supporting a receptacle 20. Each support 22 thus carries a receptacle 20 adapted to receive and carry at least one object such as a fruit, and to transport it along said upper section. In the example shown, the receptacle 20 is an individual receptacle comprising a cup 35 adapted to receive a single object. This cup 35 has a hollow shape (concavity oriented upwards at the upper section) conformed to that of the object to be transported. This may include a hand (with fingers 36 interlocking between discs 38 of adjacent rollers 37) as shown, a bucket or other.
    [0014] Each receptacle 20 is mounted on a support 22 by a connecting mechanism arranged to: - secure the receptacle and the support in longitudinal translation, - allow lateral tilting of the receptacle 20 on one side or the other, for the purpose of lateral unloading, opposite a receiving station, of each object carried by the receptacle, and allowing a relative displacement of the receptacle 20 in vertical translation relative to the support 22 in a path adapted to the weighing of the receptacle and the object it carries: upwards to move it from a low transport position to a high weighing position; then down from the high weighing position so as to induce no vertical reaction on the receptacle and not to interfere with the weighing. Each receptacle 20 and the support 22 on which it is mounted by this connecting mechanism constitutes a device for the individual transport of an object. The receptacle 20 has, under the cup 35, a base 23 assembled and guided with respect to the foot 25 of a support, in particular to be able to pivot relative to the support 22 from one side or the other along an axis 24 of tilting parallel to the longitudinal direction of the endless chain 11, and to be movable vertically between the low transport position and the high position of weighing. Preferably, the tilting axis 24 passes through a vertical longitudinal median plane of the endless chain 11 which is also a longitudinal median plane of the receptacle 20. The base 23 of the receptacle 20 is generally symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal median plane vertical passing through the axis 24 of tilting. It is the same for the foot 25 of the support 22. In the example shown, the foot 25 of the support 22 is a vertical transverse flange in the general form of a half-disc with a lower diametral base, presenting: a central upper groove locking the receptacle 20 in the low transport center position, this locking groove 45 being adapted to receive a conjugate central rib 46 of the receptacle 20 when the latter is in the low transport position, this central rib 46 projecting towards the low in the central position of a bottom wall 47 of the receptacle groove facing downwards, - two vertical slots 50, one on each side of the locking groove 45, passing through the entire thickness of the flange, and receiving each a ball, 30, said anteroposterior ball 51, being able to move vertically in this slot 50 while rolling without sliding, 3035087 17 - laterally extending lateral upper edges 52 outwardly beyond each vertical slot 50 and having, in a transverse plane, a general shape of a circular arc, for guiding the receptacle 20 -in particular its rib 46 central-sliding on one of these side upper edges 52 during a lateral tilting of the receptacle 20, a vertically oblong front housing 55 formed in a recess in a front transverse vertical face 56, oriented downstream of the longitudinal drive direction, of the flange so as to receive an earlier ball 57 which can move vertically rolling without sliding in this housing 55 before, a housing 59 posterior oblong vertically, hollowed out in a vertical rear transverse face 60, facing upstream of the direction longitudinal drive, the flange so as to receive a posterior ball 61 can move up and down rolling without sliding in this housing 59 posterior upstream of the front housing 55, a posterior stud 65 protruding from the posterior face 60 of the flange upstream of the longitudinal driving direction to penetrate into a vertically oblong posterior housing 66 formed in a wall 68 with the former ball 57, a guidance in tilt rotation of the receptacle 20 relative to the support 22 and define said tilt axis 24, the base 23 the receptacle 20 has under the dish 35 a vertical groove 70 for receiving the flange of the foot 25 of the support 22. This vertical groove 70 is formed between a front transverse vertical wall 67 and said rear transverse vertical wall 68, and is delimited towards the high by said bottom wall 47 groove oriented downwards. This bottom wall 47 of groove has a general shape in a portion of a circle so as to cover and follow, during a lateral tilting of the receptacle 20, the upper edges 52 of the flange forming the foot 25, the rib 46 3035087 18 protruding downwardly from the groove bottom wall 47 sliding in contact with one of these upper edges 52 so as to guide the receptacle 20 during tilting. The front housing 55 secured to the support 22 formed in recess in the front face 56 of the flange has a pyramidal shape, with two inclined lateral flanks, an inclined upper flank and an inclined lower flank. It is oblong to extend vertically over a height greater than the diameter of the ball 57 anterior. The width and the depth of this housing 55 and the inclination of its inclined lateral flanks are such that the ball 57 anterior is in contact with each of the inclined lateral flanks of this housing 55, blocked laterally by these latter 10, but can freely roll without sliding on the latter during vertical movements of the receptacle 20 relative to the support 22. The front transverse vertical wall 67 of the base 23 has a housing 71 vertically oblong anterior recess hollowed in the rear transverse vertical face, facing the upstream, of this wall 67, this front housing 71 being adapted to receive the ball 57 anterior, the latter being interposed and trapped between the housing 71 previously secured to the receptacle 20 and the housing 55 prior integral with the support 22. The housing 71 front secured to the receptacle 20 formed recess in the wall 67 vertical transverse front of the The groove 70 of the base 23 also has a pyramidal shape, with two inclined lateral flanks, an inclined upper flank and an inclined lower flank. It is oblong to extend vertically over a height greater than the diameter of the ball 57 anterior. The width and the depth of this housing 71 and the inclination of its inclined lateral flanks are such that the anterior ball 57 is in contact with each of the inclined lateral flanks of this housing 71, blocked laterally by the latter, but can freely roll. without sliding on the latter during vertical movements of the receptacle 20 relative to the support 22. The front housing 71 may be blind or partly through the thickness of the wall 67 vertically opening on the front face facing downstream of this vertical wall 67, a vertical oblong slot being formed on this face.
    [0015] The ball 57 can roll without slipping on the inclined sidewalls of the housings 55, 71, which are bearing surfaces of the receptacle 20 and the support 22 allowing vertical guidance of the receptacle 20 relative to the support 22. In addition, the ball 57 Anterior contact with the inclined lateral flanks of the two recesses 55, 71 facing one another is a locking in lateral translation of the receptacle 20 relative to the support 22 in any vertical position of the receptacle 20, including in position high weighing. But the anterior ball 57 in contact with the inclined lateral flanks of the two housings 55, 71 facing each other forms a pivot allowing rotation of the receptacle 20 relative to the support 22 for lateral tilting. This pivot is also formed on the posterior side by the stud 65 which engages in the posterior housing 66, oblong vertically, hollowed upstream in the posterior wall 68 of the base 23 to receive the stud 65. The height this posterior housing 66 corresponds to that of the front housing 71 of the front transverse vertical wall 67 of the base 23, so as to allow displacements in vertical translation of the receptacle 20 and the support 22, on the one hand so that the rib 46 of the central base 23 can leave the groove 45 of the foot lock 25; on the other hand to be able to move the receptacle 20 vertically upwards relative to the support 22 from its low transport position to the high position 20 weighing as explained below. The posterior housing 59 of the flange of the foot 25 is situated above the stud 65 and is deep enough to accommodate the posterior ball 61, the latter being able to come into contact with the flat front face of the posterior wall 68 of the base. 23 to be able to roll without sliding on this front face 25 both during the vertical displacements of the receptacle 20 and during its tilting. This rear ball 61 serves in particular to stabilize the receptacle 20 during weighing in case of imbalance of the latter downstream, and must not interfere with or limit the lateral tilting of the receptacle 20. A slight longitudinal clearance is preferably provided in the posterior housing 59 to permit rotation of the posterior ball 61 in this posterior housing 59. To do this, the longitudinal spacing between the bottom of this posterior housing 59 and the front face of the posterior wall 68 of the base 23 is slightly greater (of a non-zero value but as low as possible, typically less than to 1 mm) to the diameter of the posterior ball 61. The posterior ball 61 can also act as a limit stop of the lateral tilting of the receptacle 20 if the posterior wall 68 of the base 23 is provided with ribs (not shown) projecting downstream abutting against this ball. 61 posterior at the end of tilting stroke. The vertical slots 50 of the flange of the support leg 22 are spaced laterally from one another and symmetrical to each other with respect to a median longitudinal vertical plane of this foot 25. The two vertical slots 50 10 s extend in the same transverse plane and in the upper part of the flange of the foot 25. The posterior free transverse vertical face of the front wall 67 of the base 23 of the receptacle 20 extends in front of the vertical slots 50 and has a vertical span 73 anteriorly against which the anteroposterior ball 51 of each of these vertical slots 50 can abut and on which this anteroposterior ball 51 can roll without slipping. The anterior free transverse vertical face of the posterior wall 68 of the base 23 of the receptacle 20 extends behind the vertical slots 50 and has a posterior vertical bearing surface 74 against which the anteroposterior ball 51 of each of these vertical slots 50 can abut and on which this anteroposterior ball can roll without slipping. Each anteroposterior ball 51 is trapped in the vertical slot 50 and has a diameter greater than the thickness of this vertical slot 50 in the longitudinal direction so as to be able to come into contact with one of these prior vertical bearing surfaces 73, 74 and posterior. The longitudinal spacing of the anterior and posterior vertical bearing surfaces 73, 74 of the front and rear walls 67, 68 of the base 23 of the receptacle 20 is greater than the diameter of the anteroposterior ball 51 so that at each instant this ball 51 is in contact with only one of these bearing surfaces 73, 74 of the base 23 and can roll without sliding on the latter. Again, the longitudinal clearance formed between each anteroposterior ball 51 and the anterior and posterior vertical lands 73, 74 of the front and rear walls 67, 68 of the base 23 is non-zero and as small as possible, typically less than 1 mm. to allow rolling without slipping of the anteroposterior ball 51. Each bearing 73, 74 vertical anterior and posterior can be simply flat, or formed of a slight hollow recess in the wall 67, 68 corresponding to achieve a holding of the receptacle 20 in rotation about the axis 24 of tilting, maintenance likely to be surpassed by the lateral tilting control of the receptacle 20. Each vertical slot 50 has facing vertical flanks 53 having in horizontal cross-section a general shape in V conjugate with the curvature and the dimension of the anterior ball 51 posterior, so as to retain this anteroposterior ball 51 in the vertical slot 50 in the longitudinal direction, while forming flat rolling tracks with a minimum of contact and friction for this ball. The free top end of each vertical slot 50 opening at the upper edge 52 of the flange of the foot 25 is preferably provided with a nib 54 of shrinkage, on at least one side, to prevent the exit towards the top of the Anteroposterior ball 51 out of the vertical slot 50, while permitting its insertion into the vertical slot 50 during mounting by elastic deformation in force of the narrowing pin 54. The assembly of a receptacle 20 on the support 22 of a device according to the embodiment shown in the figures can be carried out as follows. With the support 22 being placed with the flange of the foot 25 extending horizontally and upwards (longitudinal direction oriented vertically), the posterior ball 61 is placed in the posterior housing 59 of the foot 25, the anterior ball 57 in the housing. 71 of the base 23 and engaging the flange of the foot 25 in the groove 70 of the base 23 by inserting the stud 65 in the housing 66 posterior, by elastic deformation. To facilitate this elastic engagement, the stud 65 advantageously has an upper inclined section 69 and the posterior wall 68 of the base 23 also has an inclined section 72 cooperating with the inclined pan 69 of the stud 65. The stud 65 thus makes it possible to lock the base 23 of the receptacle 20 on the foot 25 of the support 22. The anteroposterior balls 51 are then inserted into each vertical slot 50 after tilting the receptacle 20 laterally to disengage the upper opening of each of these vertical slots 50 . The front wall 67 of the base 23 also advantageously has an inclined face 78 cooperating with the ball 57 for the prior engagement of the base 23 on the foot 25 if the former ball 57 was previously placed in the housing 55 The base 23 also has two lateral lugs 75 extending on each side of the latter downwards to have lower free ends forming tilting heels 76 capable of cooperating with a tilting rocking cam 77. a rotating rod of an electromagnet 79 integral with the frame 10 of the conveying device, so as to cause the receptacle 20 to tilt around the tilting axis 24 for lateral unloading of the object towards a receiving station . As long as it is not powered, the electromagnet 79 keeps the cam 77 in the inactive position in which it does not interfere with the heel 49, 50 of the receptacles 20. The groove 70 is advantageously open upwards on the sides as in the example shown for the purpose of lightening the receptacle 20.
    [0016] It can also be closed at its upper end and up to the side tabs, which then has the advantage of protecting the binding mechanism and the balls from splashes and soiling especially from the cup 35. In the example embodiment shown in Figure 5, the cam 77 is in the active position in a vertical plane. In idle position the cam 77 extends in a horizontal plane remote from the heel 76 so as not to interfere with the latter. When energized, the electromagnet 79 places the cam 77 in the vertical active position, so that this cam 77 has a ramp 80 inclined relative to the longitudinal direction and in contact with which comes the heel 76 of a receptacle 20 because of its longitudinal displacement. In doing so, the cam 77 pushes back the heel, causing the receptacle 20 to tilt freeing the rib 46 from the locking groove 45, whereupon the receptacle 20 continues to tilt under the effect of its own weight around. the axis 24 of tilting. The heel 76 advantageously has an inclined front section 81 oriented downstream to cooperate with an inclined ramp of a cam 77.
    [0017] An electromagnet 79 is provided with respect to each receiving station 19 so as to enable control of the tilting of the receptacles 20 opposite one or the other of each of these receiving stations 19, depending on the result of optical analysis and weighing previously carried out. The electromagnets 79 of the different receiving stations 19 can be arranged alternately on one side and the other of the conveying line, the receptacles 20 tilting on one side or the other, depending on the receiving station 19 to feed. The heels 76 of the lateral lugs 75 of the receptacle 20 are also used for weighing the latter. This inclined section 81 is extended upstream by a horizontal weighing pan 82 arranged to be able to come on a weighing slide 83 extending on the side of the endless chain 11 at the weighing station 17. to make, each heel 76 is extended upstream of the inclined sloping portion 81 by a rear horizontal pan 82 weighing, the two horizontal panels 82 of the receptacle 20 being strictly in the same horizontal plane when the receptacle 20 is in the lower transport position . The weighing station 17 has side weighing rails 83 each having a portion 84 inclined towards the top downstream on which an inclined front pan 81 slides to drive the receptacle 20 in vertical translation upwards to its upper end. high position of weighing. The inclined portion 84 of each lateral weighing slide 83 is extended by a horizontal portion 85 on which the horizontal flange 82 of the heel 76 slides as the endless chain moves in the longitudinal driving direction. The horizontal portions 85 of the two slideways 83 are at the same height and are connected to a weighing cell 86 arranged under the horizontal rail of the section 12 going upwards of the endless chain. In this way, the weight of the receptacle 20 and the object which it conveys is transmitted via the tabs 75 and the heels 76 of the receptacle 20 to the lateral sliding rails 83 and to the weighing cell 86. In this high weighing position, the receptacle 20 is not subjected to any vertical reaction on the part of the connecting mechanism of this receptacle 20 to the support 22, and this thanks to the fact that this connecting mechanism connects the support 22 to the receptacle 20 only through the balls 51, 57, 61. This results in a perfectly accurate and accurate weighing.
    [0018] It should be noted that the horizontal pan 82 of the heel 76 is shifted upstream relative to the center of gravity of the receptacle 20, so that the latter tends to tilt downstream when it is in the high weighing position, which makes it possible to catch the longitudinal clearances, the posterior wall 68 of the base 23 coming into contact with the anteroposterior balls 51 and the posterior ball 61. Furthermore, in a variant not shown, each horizontal pan 82 may advantageously have a downwardly projecting longitudinal rib or a downwardly projecting central lug making it possible, on the one hand, to facilitate the sliding of this horizontal pan 82. weighing on the weighing slide 83 and increasing the weighing accuracy by avoiding any shift in contact between the horizontal weighing pan 82 and the weighing slide 83.
    [0019] Each roll 21 is formed of a plurality of coaxial parallel disks 38 rotatably mounted on a transverse shaft 39 guided in free rotation and in vertical translation relative to the support 22. To do this, the support 22 comprises a clevis 40 having a slot vertical 41 receiving the shaft 39 transverse.
    [0020] The discs 38 can pass into the spaces between the fingers 36 of the hands 35. The discs 38 have shapes and / or dimensions adapted to form a housing for receiving an object between two adjacent rollers. It may be for example truncated cones (the roller being a bicon or diabolo to fit the outer surface of an object received between two adjacent rollers 21) and / or cylindrical disks. Each roller 21 may have a pair of disks or a number of disks greater than two, in particular three disks as in the example shown (two outer disks of larger diameter in the general shape of cones and a central inner disk of smaller diameter) . The rollers 21 are adapted to be able to roll on rails of the device frame and / or to be rotated by belts coming into contact with these rollers. The discs 38 are made of material adapted to be able to come into contact with an object such as a fruit, to bear it without the risk of damaging it, and to drive it in rotation when the roll is rotated by belts at the optical analysis station 16 provided with at least one camera 28, connected to a computer unit (not shown). Thus, the objects received between the rollers 21 can, when carried by the latter, be driven in their own rotation so as to allow the optical analysis of their different external faces. The disks 38 may be at least partly integral in rotation with each other and / or at least partly independent in rotation from one another, so that it is possible to drive disks of the same roller 21 at different speeds, even in opposite directions. Upstream of the optical analysis station 16, the rollers 21 are displaced upwards by inclined ramps 90 cooperating with the outer disks 38 or with lateral extensions of the shaft 39 of the rollers 21. example of Figure 1 these ramps 90 are placed at the end of the section 12 go higher, the rollers 21 being locked (for example by a resilient locking pin of the yoke cooperating with the rotation shaft) in this position on the section 13 back until they return to Optical Analysis Station 16. In this position of the rollers 21 on the forward section, the objects are supported by the rollers 21, and not by the receptacles 20 which are at a lower level, the objects not coming into contact with these receptacles. During the passage to the optical analysis station 16, the rollers 21 are rotated by belts 91 which are themselves driven in displacement by a motorized device and which cooperate with the outer disks 38, larger diameter, rollers 21 or with lateral extensions of the shaft 39 of the rollers 21. Downstream of the optical analysis station 16, the rollers 21 move vertically downwards to their lower position. In doing so, the objects that were supported between the rollers 21 are placed on the cups 35 of the receptacles 20, and supported by them.
    [0021] At the exit of the weighing station 17, the sorting station 18 unloads the objects in one or the other of the receiving stations 19 provided for this purpose, according to predetermined criteria and according to the results of the optical analysis and weighing. It should be noted that only one receiving station 19 is shown in FIG. 1, but that the conveying device generally comprises several receiving stations juxtaposed along the forward section 12 in order to sort the objects. Unloading is achieved by tilting the receptacle 20 carrying an object around the tilt axis 24 by actuating an electromagnet 79 to place a discharge cam 77 on the path of the heel 76 suitable as described above. A transport device according to the invention formed of a receptacle 20 assembled on its support 22 has a small number of parts, namely the support 22, the receptacle 20, a roller 21, and four balls, that is to say total of seven pieces in the embodiment shown in the figures. Each of these parts may be formed of molded synthetic material, possibly with reinforcing metal inserts. The guide of the receptacle 20 with respect to the support 22 is particularly effective, precise, simple, and compatible with accurate and accurate weighing of the objects transported. The invention may be the subject of numerous variants with respect to the single embodiment described above and shown in the figures. In particular, the number and arrangement of the beads may be different. In addition, in the connecting mechanism of the embodiment shown in the figures and described above, the base 23 of the receptacle 20 caps the vertical flange of the foot 25 of the support 22. Nothing prevents the contrary to provide that the base of the receptacle is inserted inside a groove formed in the foot of the support 22. Similarly, it is possible to provide that the axis of tilting of the receptacle relative to the support is fixed relative to the support and non-movable in vertical translation with the receptacle as in the embodiment shown in the figures and described above. Many other embodiments of the connecting mechanism are conceivable, since the latter comprises at least one ball interposed between vertical surfaces of the receptacle and the support for guiding the receptacle in vertical translation, and to avoid any transmission of a reaction. from the support to the receptacle in the high weighing position. The invention also applies to objects other than fruit or vegetables and other devices for conveying and weighing objects than sorting devices.
