Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé pour la récolte d'huile de lubrification usée, particulièrement de moteurs de véhicules automobiles, ainsi qu'un dispositif pour l'application de ce procédé.The present invention relates to a method for harvesting used lubricating oil, particularly from motor vehicle engines, as well as a device for applying this method.
La récolte des huiles usées est un problème d'actualité car les deux tiers en moyenne de huiles ainsi récoltées peuvent être regénérés.The collection of used oils is a topical problem because on average two thirds of the oils thus collected can be regenerated.
Telle qu'effectuée actuellement, la récolte ne présente qu'un faible rendement, eu égard à l'importance du parc automobile existant. Ceci est principalement dû à l'inadéquation et à l'inconfort des moyens mis en oeuvre.As currently carried out, the harvest shows only a low yield, given the size of the existing car fleet. This is mainly due to the inadequacy and discomfort of the means used.
Les huiles vusées sont en effet essentiellement récoltées dans les garages et stations services où l'on effectue des vidanges. L'huile vidangée est le plus souvent receuillie dans un récipient ad hoc, pour être ensuite transvasée chaque fois dans des fûts de deux cents litres ayant contenu de l'huile vierge. Ceux-ci sont alors de temps à autre acheminés vers des usines de recyclage. Le nombre de manipulations est donc relativement élevé, ce qui se répercute sur les frais d'exploitation. En outre le travail est sâle. Il s'ensuit que, hormis dans certains grands établissements disposant d'une installation complète de soutirage, pompage et stockage, l'huile usée est soustraite au recyclage le plus souvent en étant utilisée pour le chauffage des locaux, ce qui est polluant et énergétique- ment peu raisonnable.The oils used are indeed mainly collected in garages and service stations where oil changes are carried out. The drained oil is most often collected in an appropriate container, to be then transferred each time into two hundred liter drums that have contained virgin oil. These are then from time to time routed to recycling plants. The number of manipulations is therefore relatively high, which has an impact on operating costs. In addition the work is gloomy. It follows that, except in certain large establishments having a complete installation of Withdrawal, pumping and storage, the used oil is most often removed from recycling by being used for space heating, which is polluting and energy unreasonable.
S'ajoute à cela la quantité non négligeable de particuliers effectuant eux-mêmes l'entretien de leur véhicule et dont on ne sait trop ce qu'il advient de leur huile de vidange.Added to this is the not insignificant quantity of individuals who carry out their own vehicle maintenance and of which we do not really know what happens to their waste oil.
La présente invention a pour but d'apporter une solution à ce problème. A cet effet, il est proposé un procédé de récolte consistant substantiellement à effectuer la vidange du moteur par des moyens propres au véhicule, à stocker l'huile ainsi soutirée dans un récipient palettisable porté de façon amovible par le véhicule, à organiser des points d'échange au moins de récipients pleins contre des récipients vides et à évacuer les récipients pleins desdits points d'échange vers des usines de recyclage.The present invention aims to provide a solution to this problem. To this end, a harvesting method is proposed which consists essentially in draining the engine by means specific to the vehicle, storing the oil thus drawn off in a palletizable container carried removably by the vehicle, organizing staging points. exchange at least full containers for empty containers and to evacuate the full containers from said exchange points to recycling plants.
L'invention s'étend également à un dispositif pour l'application du procédé susdécrit, dispositif constitué par un ensemble constitué par la combinaison d'au moins une conduite d'évacuation d'huile usagée dont une extrémité est destinée à aboutir dans une partie adéquate du dispositif propulseur du véhicule à équiper; insérées dans cette conduite, une pompe et une valve de contrôle; un organe de commande pour ladite pompe, respectivement ladite valve; et un berceau muni d'un moyen d'arrimage pour un récipient palettisable dans lequel est destinée à aboutir l'autre extrémité de ladite conduite, à l'intervention d'un moyen de connexion rapide.The invention also extends to a device for the application of the above-described method, device consisting of an assembly constituted by the combination of at least one waste oil discharge pipe, one end of which is intended to terminate in a part the propulsion system of the vehicle to be fitted; inserted into this line, a pump and a control valve; a control member for said pump, respectively said valve; and a cradle provided with a securing means for a palletizable container in which is intended to terminate the other end of said pipe, by means of a quick connection means.
L'invention sera décrite ci-après plus en détail avec référence aux dessins schématiques annexés, dans lesquels les figures 1 et 2 représentent respectivement l'organisation de deux dispositifs selon l'invention.The invention will be described below in more detail with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings, in which Figures 1 and 2 respectively represent the organization of two devices according to the invention.
Un dispositif selon l'invention du type schématisé à la figure 1 comporte une conduite 1 d'évacuation d'huile usée, dont une extrémité est destinée à être connectée à toute partie adéquate d'un moteur . Dans cette conduite sont insérées une vanne 3 et une pompe 4 aspirante ou aspirante refoulante (voir ci-après). Un berceau 5 avec moyen d'arrimage rapide (non schématisé) est prévu pour recevoir un récipient palettisable 6 auquel est destinée à aboutir l'autre extrémité de ladite conduite 1, à l'intervention d'un moyen de connection rapide 7. Ce dernier peut être soit porté normalement par la conduite 1, soit par le récipient 6.A device according to the invention of the type shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1 comprises a
Un interrupteur 8 contrôle l'alimentation électrique de la vanne 3 contrôlant à son tour celle de la pompe 4, ou inversement. Un relais ou circuit 9 peut être prévu pour limiter la durée de l'alimentation suite à chaque manoeuvre de l'interrupteur 8. Ce dernier sera préférablement pourvu d'un témoin de fonctionnement lumineux et/ou sonore.A
La connection de la conduite 1 au moteur 2 peut se faire en tout endroit et par tout moyen adéquat dont le choix s'effectuera en fonction du type de véhicule.The connection of the
Dans la variante préférée illustrée à la figure 2, la pompe 4 est une pompe aspirante-refoulante et la vanne 3 est du type à trois voies. Une conduite 10 d'alimentation en huile vierge est prévue ainsi qu'un deuxième berceau 5 destiné à recevoir un récipient d'huile vierge ou recharge 11, qui peut être identique en tous points au récipient 6 (à condition que ceux-ci soient au moins translucides) ou différent.In the preferred variant illustrated in FIG. 2, the
L'organe de commande 8 est dans ce cas évidemment conçu en fonction des caractéristiques de la vanne 3, respectivement de la pompe 4.The
Le procédé selon l'invention susdécrit prévoyant des points d'échange de récipients 6 et, le cas échéant, également de récipients 11, différentes possibilités s'offrent à l'utilisateur d'un véhicule équipé d'un dispositif selon l'invention, par exemple :
- 1.- le véhicule étant équipé d'un dispositif selon la figure 1 avec
pompe 4 aspirante, l'utilisateur peut effectuer la vidange par simple manoeuvre de l'interrupteur 8, puis faire le plein d'huile d'une manière conventionnelle. A sa convenance, il abandonnera le récipient 6 plein à un point d'échange où il le remplacera par un récipient vide; - 2.- idem que sub. 1 mais avec une
pompe 4 aspirante-refoulante etorgane 8 approprié : après avoir effectué la vidange, l'utilisateur remplace le récipient 6 par unrécipient 11 qu'il se sera procuré et effectue le plein d'huile par la manoeuvre indiquée de l'organe 8. Il devra alors se procurer unnouveau récipient 11 préalablement à la prochaine vidange; - 3.- dans le cas d'un dispositif selon la figure 2, le fonctionnement est évident au vu de ce qui précède. L'utilisateur peut alors effectuer vidange et plein sans quitter son volant. En cas de nécessité, il peut également procéder à un appoint d'huile.
- 1.- the vehicle being equipped with a device according to FIG. 1 with a
suction pump 4, the user can drain by simple operation of theswitch 8, then fill up with oil in a conventional manner. At his convenience, he will abandon thefull container 6 at an exchange point where he will replace it with an empty container; - 2.- same as sub. 1 but with a suction-
pressure pump 4 and appropriate member 8: after having drained, the user replaces thecontainer 6 with acontainer 11 which he will have obtained and refills with oil using the indicated operation of the 'organ 8. He must then obtain anew container 11 before the next emptying; - 3.- in the case of a device according to Figure 2, the operation is obvious in view of the above. The user can then perform emptying and full without leaving his steering wheel. If necessary, it can also add oil.
Il est évident que l'invention prête à de très nombreuses différences de réalisation, aisément concevables par l'homme de métier. C'est la raison pour laquelle la description ci-avant est restée schématique, pour être interprêtée dans son sens le plus large.It is obvious that the invention lends itself to numerous differences in embodiment, easily conceivable by those skilled in the art. This is the reason why the above description has remained schematic, to be interpreted in its broadest sense.
Les dispositifs selon l'invention peuvent être commercialisés sous forme de boites d'assemblage et/ou être réalisés en première monte. Dans ce dernier cas, rien n'empêcherait d'intégrer pompe et vanne dans le moteur.The devices according to the invention can be sold in the form of assembly boxes and / or be produced as original equipment. In the latter case, nothing would prevent to integrate pump and valve in the motor.
