Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une tête de génération et de projection de mousse, notamment pour un appareil extincteur d'incendie.The present invention relates to a head generation and projection of foam, especially for a fire extinguisher.
Certains appareils extincteurs d'incendie contiennent un fluide, généralement un mélange d'eau et d'un additif chimique, propre à s'émulsionner avec l'air pour constituer une mousse extinctrice.Some fire extinguishers contain a fluid, usually a mixture of water and a chemical additive capable of emulsifying with air to form an extinguishing foam.
Le document GB n° 2 171 615 décrit une tête de génération et de projection de mousse pour un appareil extincteur d'incendie, présentant un orifice de projection directe du mélange, cet orifice débouchant dans le fond d'une tubulure.The document GB n ° 2 171 615 describes a head of generation and projection of foam for a device fire extinguisher, having a projection orifice direct from the mixture, this orifice opening into the bottom tubing.
Les têtes de projection que comprennent d'autres appareils connus ont pour inconvénient d'avoir une structure complexe. En effet, ces têtes comprennent des chambres d'émulsion présentant des trous d'introduction d'air, des moyens permettant l'émulsion du mélange et de l'air, notamment des turbines ou des formes de chambre propres à produire un écoulement tourbillonnaire, et des grilles ou tamis, placés à l'intérieur d'une tubulure de diffusion de la mousse.Projection heads that include other known devices have the disadvantage of having a complex structure. Indeed, these heads include emulsion chambers with insertion holes air, means for emulsifying the mixture and air, especially turbines or chamber shapes suitable for producing a vortex flow, and screens or sieves, placed inside a tubing of diffusion of the foam.
Ces têtes sont relativement complexes à fabriquer et à assembler, ce qui influe notamment sur le prix de revient des appareils.These heads are relatively complex to manufacture and to assemble, which in particular influences the price of returns from devices.
La présente invention vise à remédier à cet inconvénient, en fournissant une tête de génération et de projection de mousse, produisant une mousse de bonne qualité et en quantité importante, tout en ayant une structure simple.The present invention aims to remedy this disadvantage, by providing a generation head and foam projection, producing good foam quality and quantity, while having a simple structure.
La tête qu'elle concerne comprend en outre:
- une tubulure de diffusion de la mousse produite,
- au moins deux conduits d'amenée du fluide destiné à mousser, régulièrement répartis sur la circonférence de la tête, ces conduits se terminant au niveau de leur extrémité de sortie par des parois orientées sensiblement perpendiculairement à la direction de projection de la mousse, et débouchant dans la base de la tubulure par des ouvertures situées au même niveau les unes des autres, et
- un bossage situé en face de ces ouvertures, lesdites parois étant destinées à dévier le fluide en direction dudit bossage, et ce bossage étant destiné à dévier les différents jets de fluide de manière à ce qu'ils se percutent mutuellement dans la base de la tubulure.
- a tubing for diffusing the foam produced,
- at least two conduits for supplying the fluid intended for foaming, regularly distributed over the circumference of the head, these conduits ending at their outlet end by walls oriented substantially perpendicular to the direction of projection of the foam, and opening out in the base of the tubing by openings located at the same level from each other, and
- a boss located opposite these openings, said walls being intended to deflect the fluid in the direction of said boss, and this boss being intended to deflect the various jets of fluid so that they collide with each other in the base of the tubing .
Cette double déviation des jets de fluide, la rencontre de ces jets avec le bossage, leur percussion mutuelle et leur rencontre avec la paroi de la tubulure s'avèrent permettre un parfait mélange du fluide et de l'air, et produire une mousse de bonne qualité, en quantité importante.This double deflection of the jets of fluid, the meeting of these jets with the boss, their percussion mutual and their meeting with the wall of the tubing prove to allow a perfect mixture of the fluid and air, and produce good quality foam, significant amount.
La tête selon l'invention ne comprend ainsi aucun organe mobile de type turbine, aucune chambre d'émulsion de structure complexe, communiquant avec l'extérieur par des trous d'admission d'air, et aucune grille ou tamis de diffusion.The head according to the invention thus does not include any mobile turbine-type unit, no emulsion chamber of complex structure, communicating with the outside by air intake holes, and no grate or screen diffusion.
Grâce à sa structure simple, cette tête peut être réalisée en matière synthétique moulée.Thanks to its simple structure, this head can be made of molded synthetic material.
De préférence, la tubulure présente une forme sensiblement conique, s'élargissant dans le sens de la projection de la mousse. Les ouvertures des conduits ne sont ainsi pas perpendiculaires à la direction de projection de la mousse, mais inclinées vers l'extérieur, selon l'inclinaison de la paroi de la tubulure. Cette inclinaison favorise la déviation des jets par le bossage.Preferably, the tubing has a shape substantially conical, widening in the direction of the foam projection. The duct openings do not are thus not perpendicular to the direction of projection of the foam, but inclined outwards, according to the inclination of the wall of the tubing. This tilt favors the deflection of the jets by the boss.
Avantageusement, les conduits, parois, ouvertures, bossage et tubulure précités sont aménagés dans une douille fixée à l'extrémité libre de la tête.Advantageously, the conduits, walls, openings, the aforementioned boss and tubing are arranged in a socket attached to the free end of the head.
Le montage de cette douille sur la tête est particulièrement simple et facile à réaliser.The mounting of this socket on the head is particularly simple and easy to carry out.
De préférence, le bossage présente une forme arrondie, notamment hémisphérieure, favorisant la déviation des jets et évitant leur cassage avant qu'ils ne se percutent. Preferably, the boss has a shape rounded, especially hemispherical, favoring the deflecting the jets and preventing them from breaking before they collide.
De préférence également, la tête de pulvérisation comprend quatre conduits.Also preferably, the spray head includes four conduits.
Selon une forme de réalisation de l'invention, la tête comprend une soupape de commande de la projection, actionnée par un mécanisme. Avantageusement, la tête présente une partie en forme de crosse et une partie en forme de "canon" de projection, et comprend une gâchette pour commander la projection de mousse.According to one embodiment of the invention, the head includes a projection control valve, actuated by a mechanism. Advantageously, the head has a butt-shaped part and a projection cannon shape, and includes a trigger to control the foam projection.
Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est à
nouveau décrite ci-dessous, en référence au dessin
schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non
limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée de la tête de
génération et de projection de mousse qu'elle concerne.
La figure 1 représente la tête 1 de génération et
de projection de mousse que comprend un appareil
extincteur d'incendie (non représenté). Cet appareil
comprend un réservoir sous pression relié à la tête 1 par
un tuyau flexible, ce réservoir contenant un mélange d'eau
et d'un additif chimique propre à s'émulsionner avec l'air
au niveau de la tête 1 pour constituer une mousse
extinctrice.Figure 1 shows the
Cette tête 1 présente un corps interne 5, un
boítier externe 6 enveloppant le corps 5, une soupape de
commande de la projection, actionnée par un mécanisme logé
dans le corps 5, une douille 7 assurant la génération de
la mousse et une bague 8 de montage de cette douille 7 sur
l'extrémité libre du corps 5. This
Le corps 5 et le boítier 6 présentent chacun une
partie 5a, 6a formant une crosse et une partie 5b,6b
formant un "canon" de projection.The body 5 and the housing 6 each have a
Les parties 5a et 5b délimitent un conduit
principal 10 d'amenée de fluide, relié, au niveau de la
base de la partie 5a, au tuyau flexible (non représenté)
de l'appareil. Ce conduit 10 est unique au niveau de la
partie 5a et se divise au niveau de la partie 5b en deux
conduits latéraux 10a, 10b qui se rejoignent en arrière de
la douille 7.
Ainsi que cela est visible, cette partie 5b
comprend, entre les conduits latéraux 10a, 10b, une paroi
tubulaire 12 délimitant un alésage axial, cet alésage
étant fermé à son extrémité opposée à la douille 7. La
partie 5b comprend également un logement 13 transversal à
cet alésage, communiquant avec cet alésage et débouchant
sur l'extérieur du corps 5, de part et d'autre de ce
dernier.As can be seen, this
La partie 5b comprend en outre une tubulure
filetée 15, faisant saillie coaxialement à l'alésage du
côté de l'extrémité libre de la tête 1, cette tubulure 15
comportant la douille 7 et la bague 8.
Un ressort 16 et une tige 17 sont engagés et
peuvent coulisser dans l'alésage. Le ressort 16 porte
contre le fond de l'alésage et contre l'une des extrémités
de la tige 17.A
L'autre extrémité de la tige 17 fait saillie de
l'alésage, et comprend un tampon 20 en matière résiliente.
L'extrémité du tampon 20 présente une forme conique,
tandis que la face de la douille 7 tournée vers
l'intérieur de la tête 1 comprend un siège conique 21 de
même pente. L'extrémité du tampon 20 peut venir au contact
de ce siège conique 21 avec étanchéité, et est normalement
maintenue dans cette position par le ressort 16, ce
dernier étant comprimé lorsque le tampon 20 est au contact
du siège 21. The other end of the
La tige 17 comprend également un logement
transversal 22, aménagé à hauteur et en face du logement
13. Les deux logements 13 et 22 sont traversés par une
gâchette 25, montée pivotante sur le corps 5 au moyen d'un
axe 26. Cette gâchette 25 fait saillie au-delà du boítier
6 au travers d'une fente 27, et vient porter contre la
paroi de la tige 17 délimitant le logement 22 du côté
opposé à l'extrémité libre de la tête 1.The
Une pression exercée sur la gâchette 25 de manière
à la rapprocher de la partie 6b permet de comprimer le
ressort 16 et d'écarter le tampon 20 du siège 21, donc de
commander l'écoulement du fluide vers l'extérieur, au
travers de la douille 7.A pressure exerted on the
Ce tampon 20 et ce siège conique 21 constituent
par conséquent la soupape précitée, et l'ensemble tige 17-gâchette
25-ressort 16 constitue le mécanisme de commande
de cette soupape.This
Le boítier 6 est constitué par deux
demi-coquilles, dont une est partiellement coupée sur la
figure 1. Ces deux demi-coquilles présentent des brides 30
de calage du corps 5 et sont assemblées l'une à l'autre
par engagement de tétons ou de vis que comprend l'une
d'elles dans des trous correspondants 31 aménagés dans la
paroi de l'autre.The case 6 consists of two
half-shells, one of which is partially cut on the
figure 1. These two half-shells have
La douille 7 est réalisée en une seule pièce, par moulage d'une matière synthétique. Ainsi que cela est plus particulièrement visible aux figures 3 et 4, elle comprend, outre le siège 21 :
- une
tubulure 35 de diffusion de la mousse produite, coaxiale ausiège 21 et présentant elle-même une forme conique s'élargissant dans la direction de projection ; - quatre
conduits 36 d'amenée du fluide destiné à mousser, qui sont régulièrement répartis sur la circonférence de la douille 7 ; cesconduits 36 se terminent au niveau de leur extrémité de sortie par desparois 37 orientées sensiblement perpendiculairement à la direction de projection, et débouchent dans la base de latubulure 35, par desouvertures 38 situées au même niveau les unes des autres ; - un
bossage 39 de forme sensiblement hémisphérique, situé en face de cesouvertures 38 et sensiblement à égale distance de celles-ci, et - une collerette externe 40, délimitant un
épaulement 41 apte à venir en appui contre latubulure 15, et unépaulement 42.
- a
tube 35 for diffusing the foam produced, coaxial with theseat 21 and itself having a conical shape widening in the direction of projection; - four
conduits 36 for supplying the fluid intended to foam, which are regularly distributed over the circumference of the sleeve 7; theseconduits 36 terminate at their outlet end withwalls 37 oriented substantially perpendicular to the direction of projection, and open into the base of thetube 35, byopenings 38 located at the same level from each other; - a
boss 39 of substantially hemispherical shape, located opposite theseopenings 38 and substantially equidistant from them, and - an
external flange 40, delimiting ashoulder 41 capable of coming into abutment against thetube 15, and ashoulder 42.
La bague 8 comprend, quant à elle, un épaulement
apte à venir en appui contre cet épaulement 42 et un
taraudage permettant son vissage sur le filetage de la
tubulure 15 de manière à serrer la douille 7 entre elle et
l'extrémité de cette tubulure 15.The
Le fluide sous pression, lorsqu'il traverse la
douille 7, est dévié brusquement par les parois 37 en
direction du bossage 39. Les quatre jets de fluide
rencontrent ensuite le bossage 39 qui les dévie de manière
à ce qu'ils se percutent mutuellement dans la base de la
tubulure 35 avant de rencontrer la paroi de la tubulure
35.The fluid under pressure, when it crosses the
socket 7, is deflected abruptly by the
La légère inclinaison vers l'extérieur des
ouvertures 38, résultant de la forme conique de la
tubulure 35, favorise la déviation des jets de fluide par
le bossage 39.The slight outward inclination of the
Au cours de ces deux déviations, de cette
rencontre avec le bossage 39, de cette percussion
mutuelle, suite à une émission des jets à partir de points
diamétralement opposés sur la circonférence de la douille
7, et de cette rencontre avec la paroi de la tubulure 35,
le fluide s'émulsionne parfaitement avec l'air ambiant
pour produire une mousse de bonne qualité et en quantité
importante.During these two deviations, from this
encounter with
La présente invention permet ainsi d'obtenir ce
résultat au moyen d'une tête 1 ayant une structure très
simple et peu onéreuse à fabriquer, ce qui permet de
remédier aux inconvénients des têtes de génération et de
projection de mousse selon la technique antérieure.The present invention thus makes it possible to obtain this
result by means of a
