Abstract

A grease container/dispenser consists of a cylindrical container with a top (20) preferably in the form of a removable cover and a conical bottom (30) with a controlled outlet (40). The grease is dispensed through the outlet by a piston (70). The piston has one or more scraper ring seals (100), its underside (9) being conical in shape and matching the shape of the container bottom, and it is of sufficient weight to expel the grease by gravity when the outlet is opened. For example, for a container up to 1.5 m in diameter the piston weighs between 100 and 400 kg and preferably between 150 and 300 kg. The upper part of the container can have an inlet (60) for compressed air to assist the piston.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour le stockage et le dépotage intégral de graisse.The present invention relates to a device for full storage and removal of fat.

Elle concerne plus particulièrement un conteneur transportable, permettant de stocker des quantités importantes de graisse et d'assurer de façon autonome le dépotage intégral de la graisse dudit conteneur.It relates more particularly to a container transportable, allowing to store quantities significant amounts of fat and independently integral stripping of the grease from said container.

Il est déjà connu de stocker des graisses dans des capacités ou conteneurs hermétiques, d'une part, pour pouvoir les transporter et, d'autre part, pour soustraire ces graisses à l'oxydation de l'air, à un assèchement ou à une hydratation par condensation. De la même manière, il est déjà connu d'utiliser le poids de la graisse pour assurer son propre dépotage du conteneur. On sait également que, lorsque la consistance de la graisse atteint des valeurs par exemple inférieures à 350 dixièmes de millimètre (mesurées selon la norme ISO 2137), le dépotage par gravité devient insuffisant et il est alors nécessaire d'avoir recours à des appareillages extérieurs. Ces appareillages peuvent être, par exemple, des pompes ou des presses à vérins, montées sur des potences ou directement sur le conteneur.It is already known to store fat in airtight capacities or containers, on the one hand, for ability to transport them and, on the other hand, to subtract these fats from air oxidation, drying out or hydration by condensation. In the same way, it is already known to use the weight of fat to ensure its own stripping of the container. We also know that, when the consistency of the fat reaches values by example less than 350 tenths of a millimeter (measured according to ISO 2137), gravity stripping becomes insufficient and it is then necessary to have recourse to external equipment. These devices can be, for example, pumps or cylinder presses, mounted on gallows or directly on the container.

Ces différents dispositifs présentent néanmoins plusieurs inconvénients. Ainsi, il est nécessaire de mettre en oeuvre plusieurs conteneurs, compte-tenu de la limite habituelle des capacités de stockage de ceux-ci (inférieure à 500 kilogrammes), ou d'utiliser des matériels annexes nécessitant des utilités (air, électricité...) et des manipulations répétées, plus ou moins longues.These different devices nevertheless have several disadvantages. So it is necessary to put using several containers, taking into account the limit usual storage capacities of these (lower 500 kilograms), or using additional equipment requiring utilities (air, electricity ...) and repeated manipulations, more or less long.

De plus, avec ces systèmes, le dépotage complet des graisses de leur conteneur ne peut pas être complètement réalisé et peut engendrer, en l'absence d'opérations de nettoyage délicates et coûteuses, des risques de pollution, en cas de changement de types de graisses.In addition, with these systems, the complete unloading of fat from their container cannot be completely realized and can generate, in the absence of operations of delicate and costly cleaning, pollution risks, in the event of a change in fat types.

EP 0 686 597 décrit un dispositif selon le préambule de la revendication 1, dont le piston est dépourvu de tout système de guidage.EP 0 686 597 describes a device according to the preamble of claim 1, the piston of which is devoid of any guidance system.

EP 0 351 899 décrit un dispositif pour vider un réservoir d'encre de grandes dimensions, dans lequel coulisse un piston comportant une paroi latérale concave, sous l'effet d'une pompe aspirante connectée à la base du réservoir. Le piston est solidaire d'une tige verticale, qui fait saillie vers le haut à partir de sa partie centrale et qui est montée coulissante dans une lumière ménagée dans la partie supérieure du réservoir, de manière à être guidée dans ses déplacements. Cette tige fait toutefois saillie à l'extérieur du réservoir, ce qui pose des problèmes d'encombrement.EP 0 351 899 describes a device for emptying a large ink tank, in which slides a piston having a concave side wall, under the effect of a suction pump connected to the base of the tank. The piston is integral with a vertical rod, which protrudes upwards from its central part and which is slidably mounted in a light provided in the upper part of the tank, so as to be guided in his travels. However, this rod projects the outside of the tank, which causes problems of space.

Pour pallier ces différents inconvénients, la présente invention vise à proposer un dispositif permettant à la fois de stocker dans un même conteneur des quantités importantes de graisse, de protéger cette graisse contre les agressions extérieures et d'en assurer, d'une manière simple, un dépotage intégral.To overcome these various drawbacks, the present invention aims to provide a device allowing both to store large quantities in the same container to protect this fat from attack and ensure, in a simple way, a full stripping.

La présente invention a donc pour objet un dispositif pour le stockage et le dépotage intégral de graisse, ce dispositif comprenant une enceinte cylindrique, dont la partie supérieure est de préférence escamotable, une partie inférieure de forme conique, solidaire de ladite enceinte et pourvue dans sa partie la plus basse d'un orifice d'évacuation contrôlé, et un plateau formant piston, de forme conique complémentaire de celle de l'extrémité inférieure de l'enceinte cylindrique, disposé perpendiculairement à l'axe de celle-ci, ce plateau ayant une section transversale égale à la section interne de l'enceinte et étant apte à coulisser dans celle-ci, ce dispositif étant caractérisé en ce que le poids du plateau formant piston est tel qu'il puisse coulisser par simple gravité en repoussant pour l'évacuer la graisse se trouvant dans la partie basse de l'enceinte cylindrique, et en ce que le plateau formant piston est monté coulissant sur au moins une tige parallèle à l'axe longitudinal de l'enceinte cylindrique.The present invention therefore relates to a device for the storage and complete unloading of grease, device comprising a cylindrical enclosure, the upper part is preferably retractable, a part lower conical shape, integral with said enclosure and provided in its lower part with an orifice controlled discharge, and a piston plate, conical shape complementary to that of the end bottom of the cylindrical enclosure, arranged perpendicular to the axis thereof, this plate having a cross section equal to the internal section of the enclosure and being able to slide therein, this device being characterized in that the weight of the plate forming the piston is such that it can slide by simple gravity pushing back to evacuate the fat in the lower part of the cylindrical enclosure, and in that the piston plate is slidably mounted on at least a rod parallel to the longitudinal axis of the enclosure cylindrical.

Etant donné que la masse du plateau suffit pour dépoter la graisse, le dispositif conforme à l'invention présente un avantage important par rapport à l'art antérieur, puisqu'il fonctionne de manière totalement autonome, sans utilisation d'appareillages extérieurs. Ceci représente un gain important pour l'utilisateur et évite une source de pollution en cas de changement de type de graisse.Since the mass of the plate is sufficient to deposit grease, the device according to the invention has a significant advantage over the prior art, since works completely autonomously, without use of external equipment. This represents a gain important for the user and avoids a source of pollution in the event of a change in the type of grease.

On notera que la graisse à dépoter assure elle-même la lubrification du plateau, au cours de son déplacement.It will be noted that the grease to be deposited itself ensures the lubrication of the plate, during its movement.

Le poids du plateau formant piston est calculé de façon telle qu'il coulisse librement par simple gravité dans l'enceinte cylindrique, pour toutes les consistances usuelles des graisses lubrifiantes. La Demanderesse a établi que, pour ces consistances usuelles des graisses lubrifiantes, le poids du plateau peut varier, pour un diamètre dudit plateau inférieur à 1,5 mètre, entre 100 et 400 kilogrammes et, de préférence, entre 150 et 300 kilogrammes.The weight of the piston plate is calculated so such that it slides freely by simple gravity in the cylindrical enclosure, for all consistencies usual lubricating greases. The Applicant has established that for these usual consistencies of fats lubricants, the weight of the plate may vary, for a diameter of said plate less than 1.5 meters, between 100 and 400 kilograms and preferably between 150 and 300 kilograms.

Le dépotage réalisé grâce au dispositif conforme à l'invention est particulièrement efficace. En effet, lorsque le plateau formant piston arrive en bout de course, il ne subsiste aucun espace interstitiel entre celui-ci et l'extrémité inférieure de l'enceinte, puisque leurs formes coniques sont complémentaires. De la sorte, l'ensemble de la graisse contenue originellement dans l'enceinte est chassée par l'orifice d'évacuation.Decanting carried out using the device in accordance with the invention is particularly effective. When the piston-forming plate reaches the end of its travel, it does not no interstitial space remains between it and the lower end of the enclosure, since their shapes tapered are complementary. In this way, the whole of the fat originally contained in the enclosure is removed through the discharge opening.

De manière avantageuse, la partie haute de l'enceinte cylindrique du dispositif conforme à l'invention est équipée d'une prise d'amenée d'air comprimé, utilisable dans le cas de dépotages de graisses particulièrement consistantes, en vue d'exercer une pression complémentaire sur le dessus du plateau.Advantageously, the upper part of the enclosure cylindrical device according to the invention is equipped a compressed air intake, usable in the case particularly consistent fat deposition, in view to exert additional pressure on top of the tray.

Dans le même but, on peut prévoir à la partie haute de l'enceinte, en amont du plateau formant piston, un organe de raccordement à une source de liquide, afin d'accroítre, si nécessaire, la masse exerçant une pression sur la graisse à dépoter.For the same purpose, we can provide at the top of the enclosure, upstream of the piston-forming plate, a connection to a liquid source, in order to increase, if necessary, the mass exerting pressure on the grease to depot.

Le guide du plateau formant piston assure un parfait maintien en position de celui-ci, au cours de ses déplacements. On peut éventuellement prévoir deux guides parallèles à l'axe de l'enceinte cylindrique et diamétralement opposés par rapport à celui-ci.The piston plate guide ensures perfect keeping it in position during its displacements. We can optionally provide two guides parallel to the axis of the cylindrical enclosure and diametrically opposed to it.

Pour assurer l'étanchéité du plateau, d'une part, au niveau de la graisse et, d'autre part, au niveau de l'air comprimé, quand celui-ci est utilisé, le plateau est équipé à sa périphérie extérieure d'un ou, de préférence, de plusieurs joints d'étanchéité venant racler les parois intérieures de l'enceinte cylindrique.To seal the tray, on the one hand, at fat level and, secondly, air level tablet, when used, the tray is equipped at its outer periphery of one or, preferably, of several seals scraping the walls interior of the cylindrical enclosure.

Le remplissage de l'enceinte cylindrique est réalisé à l'aide d'une pompe, qui propulse la graisse à l'intérieur du dispositif par le même orifice, disposé à la partie inférieure de l'enceinte cylindrique, qui sert à l'évacuation de la dite graisse. Pour éviter de possibles entrées d'air dans l'enceinte, pendant les opérations de chargement, une purge est installée au niveau dudit orifice d'évacuation.The cylindrical enclosure is filled at using a pump, which propels the fat inside the device through the same orifice, arranged at the part bottom of the cylindrical enclosure, which is used to the evacuation of said fat. To avoid possible air inlets into the enclosure, during loading, a purge is installed at the level of said orifice evacuation.

Le dispositif conforme à l'invention permet le stockage de quantités importantes de graisses, pouvant être supérieures à 1 tonne et, de préférence, à 1,2 tonne.The device according to the invention allows storage significant amounts of fat, which can be greater than 1 ton and preferably 1.2 tons.

Ce conditionnement des graisses en grosses quantités constitue un avantage important pour les industriels, car il permet de réduire d'autant les opérations de gestion des approvisionnements.This conditioning of fat in large quantities constitutes an important advantage for industrialists, because it makes it possible to reduce the management operations by as much supplies.

Un mode de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention est représenté sur la figure unique de dessin annexé,A non-limiting embodiment of the invention is represented in the single figure of the attached drawing,

Comme on le voit sur cette figure, le dispositif selon l'invention se compose d'une enceinte cylindrique 10, coiffée par un couvercle 20 étanche et escamotable, et d'une extrémité inférieure 30 en forme de cône, dont la pointe est dirigée vers le bas et d'angle au sommet α.As can be seen in this figure, the device according to the invention consists of a cylindrical enclosure 10, capped by a waterproof and retractable cover 20, and a lower end 30 cone-shaped, the point of which is directed downwards and at an angle at the top α.

A la partie la plus basse de cette extrémité inférieure est prévu un orifice à ouverture et fermeture commandées, 40, qui permet le remplissage et l'évacuation de la graisse. Sur cet orifice est installée une purge 50, destinée à chasser l'air résiduel présent en début de phase de remplissage. A l'extrémité supérieure de l'enceinte cylindrique est également prévue une entrée d'air comprimé 60.At the lowest part of this lower end an orifice with controlled opening and closing is provided, 40, which allows the filling and evacuation of the fat. On this orifice is installed a drain 50, intended for expel the residual air present at the start of the filling. At the upper end of the enclosure cylindrical is also provided a compressed air inlet 60.

Le dispositif est monté sur une palette de type courant et se trouve protégé par une structure extérieure métallique solidaire, toutes deux non représentées. Un exemple de matériaux et de dimensions est donné ci-après à titre indicatif : le dispositif est, par exemple, fabriqué en acier courant et possède une hauteur de 2, 35 mètres, le diamètre de l'enceinte cylindrique étant de 1, 15 mètre.The device is mounted on a standard type pallet and is protected by a metallic exterior structure united, both not represented. An example of materials and dimensions is given below as indicative: the device is, for example, manufactured in running steel and has a height of 2.35 meters, the diameter of the cylindrical enclosure being 1.15 meters.

Dans l'enceinte cylindrique 10 est disposé un plateau formant piston 70, perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal de la dite enceinte cylindrique et de dimension transversale égale à la section de celle-ci. La face supérieure du plateau 80 est sensiblement plane, alors que sa face inférieure 90 est formée par un cône d'angle au sommet α. Le plateau 70 est équipé à sa périphérie d'un joint torique 100.In the cylindrical enclosure 10 is arranged a plate forming piston 70, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said cylindrical enclosure and of transverse dimension equal to the section of it. The upper side of the plate 80 is substantially flat, while its face lower 90 is formed by a cone of angle at the top α. The plate 70 is fitted at its periphery with an O-ring 100.

Ce plateau, monté coulissant sur une tige 120, disposée suivant l'axe de l'enceinte cylindrique 10, présente un poids tel qu'il peut descendre par simple gravité à l'intérieur de l'enceinte, en chassant la graisse 110 présente sous ce plateau par l'orifice d'évacuation 40. Dans le cas d'une graisse de consistance usuelle, le poids du plateau est compris entre 100 et 400 kilogrammes et, de préférence, entre 150 et 300 kilogrammes. Comme indiqué ci-dessus, la graisse à évacuer assure elle-même la lubrification entre le plateau formant piston 70 et la face interne de l'enceinte 10.This plate, mounted sliding on a rod 120, arranged along the axis of the cylindrical enclosure 10, has a weight such that it can descend by simple gravity to inside the enclosure, expelling the grease 110 present under this tray by the evacuation orifice 40. In in the case of a grease of usual consistency, the weight of the tray is between 100 and 400 kilograms and, from preferably between 150 and 300 kilograms. As stated above, the fat to be removed itself ensures the lubrication between the plate forming piston 70 and the face internal speaker 10.

En outre, le plateau 70 et l'extrémité inférieure 30 de l'enceinte cylindrique 10 sont formés par des cônes dirigés vers le bas et de même angle au sommet. De ce fait, il ne subsiste aucun espace entre cette extrémité inférieure 30 et le plateau 70, lorsque ce dernier se trouve en bout de course, de sorte que l'ensemble de la graisse sera chassé de l'enceinte cylindrique.In addition, the plate 70 and the lower end 30 of the cylindrical enclosure 10 are formed by directed cones down and at the same angle at the top. Therefore, it does not no space remains between this lower end 30 and the plate 70, when the latter is at the end of stroke, so that all of the fat will be expelled from the cylindrical enclosure.
