Description

La présente invention est relative à une presse pour le compactage de déchets disposés notamment dans des fûts, et comprenant une chambre de compactage cylindrique et un cylindre de manoeuvre fermé à son extrémité supérieure, le cylindre de manoeuvre étant équipé d'un piston solidaire d'un fouloir apte à pénétrer dans la chambre de compactage, des moyens de mise en pression hydraulique étant prévus pour agir contre l'une et l'autre de deux faces opposées dudit piston.The present invention relates to a press for compacting waste disposed in particular in drums, and comprising a cylindrical compacting chamber and an operating cylinder closed at its upper end, the operating cylinder being equipped with a piston integral with a plugger capable of entering the compacting chamber, hydraulic pressurizing means being provided to act against one and the other of two opposite faces of said piston.

En particulier, il s'agit de déchets d'origine nucléaire. Actuellement, les déchets nucléaires tels que papiers, cotons, sacs en plastiques en provenance de laboratoires, d'hopitaux, de centres de recherche, sont placés dans des fûts puis comprimés par une presse. Il est ensuite possible de placer un certain nombre de ces fûts ainsi comprimés dans un récipient qui est ensuite enrobé de béton et immergé.In particular, it is nuclear waste. Currently, nuclear waste such as paper, cotton, plastic bags from laboratories, hospitals, research centers, are placed in drums and then compressed by a press. It is then possible to place a number of these drums thus compressed in a container which is then coated with concrete and immersed.

Le document EP-A 0 124 185 décrit une telle presse. Cependant, au cours de l'opération de compactage, des gaz et des aérosols radioactifs peuvent s'échapper et être dangereux. Il en résulte que la presse à compacter doit être placée par sécurité dans un local étanche aux radiations nucléaires. Le coût de l'installation est donc important.Document EP-A 0 124 185 describes such a press. However, during the compaction operation, radioactive gases and aerosols can escape and be dangerous. It follows that the compacting press must be placed for safety in a room sealed against nuclear radiation. The cost of installation is therefore significant.

Un but de l'invention est de réaliser une presse spécialement adaptée au compactage des déchets nucléaires en fûts, assurant notamment par elle-même un confinement nucléaire suffisant pour que la presse puisse être placée dans un local ordinaire.An object of the invention is to produce a press specially adapted for compacting nuclear waste in barrels, ensuring in particular by itself sufficient nuclear confinement so that the press can be placed in an ordinary room.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet une presse pour le compactage de déchets disposés notamment dans des fûts, et comprenant une chambre de compactage cylindrique et un cylindre de manoeuvre fermé à son extrémité supérieure, ledit cylindre de manoeuvre étant équipé d'un piston solidaire d'un fouloir apte à pénétrer dans ladite chambre de compactage, des moyens de mise en pression hydraulique étant prévus pour agir contre l'une et l'autre de deux faces opposées dudit piston, caractérisée en ce que le cylindre de manoeuvre comporte des moyens de coulissement vertical au-dessus de ladite chambre de compactage, l'extrémité inférieure du cylindre de manoeuvre étant ouverte et reposant d'une manière étanche et verrouillée, dans sa position basse, sur l'extrémité supérieure de ladite chambre de compactage, ladite chambre de compactage étant fermée à son extrémité inférieure, par un plateau muni de moyen permettant son coulissement vertical dans ladite chambre de compactage, des moyens d'étanchéité assurant en position basse dudit plateau l'étanchéité de ladite chambre de compactage.The invention thus relates to a press for compacting waste disposed in particular in drums, and comprising a cylindrical compacting chamber and an operating cylinder closed at its upper end, said operating cylinder being equipped with a piston integral with '' a gland suitable for entering said compaction chamber, hydraulic pressurization means being provided to act against one and the other of two opposite faces of said piston, characterized in that the maneuvering cylinder comprises means for vertical sliding above said compacting chamber, the lower end of the operating cylinder being open and resting in a sealed and locked manner, in its low position, on the upper end of said compacting chamber, said compacting being closed at its lower end, by a plate provided with means allowing its vertical sliding in said compacting chamber, sealing means ensuring in the lower position of said tray the tightness of said compaction chamber.

Selon une autre caractéristique préférée, ledit plateau comprend un conduit relié à un dispositif d'aspiration.According to another preferred characteristic, said tray comprises a duct connected to a suction device.

Avantageusement, la paroi latérale de ladite chambre de compactage comprend également un conduit relié à un dispositif d'aspiration.Advantageously, the side wall of said compacting chamber also comprises a duct connected to a suction device.

Selon une autre caractéristique préférée, le piston est relié au fouloir par une portion tubulaire, fermée à son extrémité inférieure et débouchant à l'extrémité supérieure du piston, un tube, fixé à l'extrémité supérieure du cylindre de manoeuvre coulissant dans ladite portion tubulaire, ledit tube pouvant être mis sous pression hydraulique.According to another preferred characteristic, the piston is connected to the gland by a tubular portion, closed at its lower end and opening at the upper end of the piston, a tube, fixed to the upper end of the operating cylinder sliding in said tubular portion , said tube being able to be put under hydraulic pressure.

L'invention sera bien comprise par la description ci-après d'un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel la figure unique est une vue en élévation partiellement coupée d'une presse selon l'invention.The invention will be better understood from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawing in which the single figure is a partially cut elevation view of a press according to the invention.

La presse représentée sur la figure comporte un bloc constituant une embase et une chambre de compactage 1. Le fond de la chambre de compactage est fermée par un plateau 2 placé à l'extrémité de la tige 3 d'un vérin.The press shown in the figure comprises a block constituting a base and a compaction chamber 1. The bottom of the compaction chamber is closed by a plate 2 placed at the end of the rod 3 of a jack.

Ce plateau 2, déplaçable, est utilisé, comme on le verra plus loin, pour l'évacuation des produits comprimés. Il comprend un joint 2A destiné à assurer le confinement lors de l'opération de compactage.This movable plate 2 is used, as will be seen below, for the evacuation of the compressed products. It includes a seal 2A intended to ensure containment during the compacting operation.

La presse comprend en outre un cylindre de manoeuvre 5, muni d'oreilles 6, qui peut être déplacé verticalement au-dessus de la chambre de compactage. Des colonnes 7, en appui sur l'embase de la chambre de compactage 1, reçoivent des douilles 8 montées dans les oreilles 6 supports du cylindre de manoeuvre 5.The press further comprises an operating cylinder 5, provided with ears 6, which can be moved vertically above the compacting chamber. Columns 7, bearing on the base of the compacting chamber 1, receive sockets 8 mounted in the ears 6 supports of the operating cylinder 5.

Le mouvement du cylindre de manoeuvre est assuré par des vérins tels que 10 prenant appui sur l'embase et sur une chape solidaire de l'oreille du cylindre.The movement of the operating cylinder is ensured by jacks such as 10 resting on the base and on a yoke secured to the ear of the cylinder.

Le cylindre de manoeuvre possède un fond supérieur 5A percé d'un orifice central 5B.The operating cylinder has an upper bottom 5A pierced with a central orifice 5B.

La partie inférieure du cylindre de manoeuvre 5 peut venir en appui sur la surface supérieure de la chambre de compactage 1. Un joint 11 assure l'étanchéité du contact.The lower part of the operating cylinder 5 can come to bear on the upper surface of the compaction chamber 1. A seal 11 ensures the sealing of the contact.

La position d'appui du cylindre de manoeuvre 5 sur la chambre de compactage 1 peut être verrouillée par tout moyen, par exemple au moyen de griffes 13 (ou d'un collier) mises en place par une bague 14 à intérieur conique manoeuvrée par des vérins tels que 15.The support position of the operating cylinder 5 on the compacting chamber 1 can be locked by any means, for example by means of claws 13 (or of a collar) put in place by a ring 14 with a conical interior operated by cylinders such as 15.

La chambre de compactage 1, le cylindre de manoeuvre 5 et le plateau 2 sont réalisés en un matériau et avec une épaisseur appropriés pour assurer un confinement radioactif du produit à compacter.The compacting chamber 1, the operating cylinder 5 and the plate 2 are made of a material and with a thickness suitable for ensuring radioactive confinement of the product to be compacted.

Le cylindre de manoeuvre 5 comprend en son intérieur un piston 16 prolongé par une portion tubulaire 16A fermée par un fond 16B auquel est fixé un fouloir 17. Le piston 16 est à double effet, le volume du cylindre de manoeuvre 5 comprenant deux chambres 18 et 19 pouvant être mises chacune en pression hydraulique.The operating cylinder 5 comprises inside its piston 16 extended by a tubular portion 16A closed by a bottom 16B to which a gland 17 is fixed. The piston 16 is double-acting, the volume of the operating cylinder 5 comprising two chambers 18 and 19 can each be put under hydraulic pressure.

La portion tubulaire 16A sert de guide à un tube 20 solidaire du fond supérieur 5A du cylindre de manoeuvre 5.The tubular portion 16A serves as a guide for a tube 20 integral with the upper bottom 5A of the operating cylinder 5.

La référence 21 désigne la chambre située au-dessous du tube 20 et fermée par l'extrémité 16B de la portion tubulaire 16A.The reference 21 designates the chamber located below the tube 20 and closed by the end 16B of the tubular portion 16A.

Les références 25 et 26 désignent des conduits aménagés respectivement dans la paroi latérale de la chambre de compactage 1 et dans le plateau 2 lui servant de fond, destinés à être reliés à des organes de recueil des éventuels gaz, aérosols et effluents dégagés au cours de l'opération de compactage.The references 25 and 26 designate conduits arranged respectively in the side wall of the compacting chamber 1 and in the plate 2 serving as its bottom, intended to be connected to bodies for collecting any gases, aerosols and effluents released during the compacting operation.

Ces organes sont désignés: groupe d'aspiration des aérosols, et n'on pas été représentés.These bodies are designated: aerosol suction group, and have not been represented.

Le fonctionnement de la presse est le suivant.The operation of the press is as follows.

Au cours de l'opération, les vérins 10 sont étendus, le cylindre de manoeuvre 5 est en position haute et le piston 16 en position haute dans le cylindre de manoeuvre 5.During the operation, the jacks 10 are extended, the operating cylinder 5 is in the high position and the piston 16 in the high position in the operating cylinder 5.

Les vérins 15 sont rétractés, de sorte que les griffes de verrouillage sont écartées.The cylinders 15 are retracted, so that the locking claws are separated.

Le vérin 4 est rétracté, de sorte que le plateau 2 est en appui sur une embase.The jack 4 is retracted, so that the plate 2 is supported on a base.

On introduit le produit à compacter, par exemple un fût 22, à l'intérieur de la chambre de compactage 1, par son extrémité supérieure.The product to be compacted, for example a barrel 22, is introduced into the compacting chamber 1 through its upper end.

L'opération de compactage se poursuit alors par les opérations suivantes.The compacting operation then continues with the following operations.

On actionne les vérins 10, produisant la descente du cylindre de manoeuvre 5 qui vient en appui sur le sommet de la chambre de compactage.The actuators 10 are actuated, producing the descent of the operating cylinder 5 which comes to bear on the top of the compacting chamber.

On actionne les vérins 15 provoquant la descente de la bague 14 et par suite le mouvement des griffes 13 qui viennent verrouiller l'ensemble chambre de compactage-cylindre de manoeuvre. Le confinement est alors assuré.The jacks 15 are actuated, causing the ring 14 to descend, and consequently the movement of the claws 13 which lock the assembly of the compaction chamber and the operating cylinder. Containment is then ensured.

On met en route le groupe d'aspiration des aérosols.The aerosol suction group is started.

La chambre 21 est mise en pression hydraulique à travers l'orifice 5B du cylindre 5 et le tube 20.The chamber 21 is put under hydraulic pressure through the orifice 5B of the cylinder 5 and the tube 20.

Le piston 16 descend et provoque une première compression du fût 22.The piston 16 descends and causes a first compression of the barrel 22.

Simultanément, on met en pression hydraulique la chambre 18.Simultaneously, the chamber 18 is put under hydraulic pressure.

La section du piston 16 étant supérieure à celle de l'intérieur du fond 16A, il en résulte un accroissement de la pression de compactage.The section of the piston 16 being greater than that of the interior of the bottom 16A, this results in an increase in the compaction pressure.

Le fût 22 étant comprimé au maximum, (partie gauche de la figure), on arrête le groupe d'aspiration, on remonte le piston 16 par mise en pression hydraulique de la chambre 19, on déverrouille l'ensemble par remontée des vérins 15 et on remonte le cylindre de manoeuvre 5 par action des vérins 10.The barrel 22 being compressed to the maximum, (left part of the figure), the suction unit is stopped, the piston 16 is raised by hydraulic pressure of the chamber 19, the assembly is unlocked by raising the jacks 15 and the operating cylinder 5 is reassembled by the action of the jacks 10.

Par action du vérin 4, on remonte le plateau 2 pour permettre l'extraction et le retrait du fût 22 compacté.By action of the jack 4, the plate 2 is raised to allow the extraction and removal of the compacted drum 22.

Grâce aux dispositions particulières de la presse qui vient d'être décrite, le confinement radioactif est assuré pendant l'opération de compactage. En outre la presse est de dimensions faibles.Thanks to the special provisions of the press which has just been described, radioactive confinement is ensured during the compacting operation. In addition, the press is of small dimensions.
