Definitions

  • the present invention relates to close protection of a plane of horizontal work by means of a clean air flow.
  • the invention relates to both a method and a device implementing such a protection.
  • the invention relates more specifically to the protection of a work that is clear, and therefore accessible, both on top and on at least one side, called the free side, of this work plan.
  • a clean room - in which the air is filtered and treated to present a given level of cleanliness.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is the difficulty of maintaining a air quality in a large volume at acceptable economic conditions.
  • a another disadvantage is related to the fact that the personnel must be dressed in a special dress, itself sterile, whose cleanliness is difficult to maintain an and to control, and whose wearing is tedious.
  • the staff and equipment present in the work room can be sources of air pollution.
  • the close protection technique provides a solution to this problem.
  • the work surface is thus protected by a clean air shield which puts the protected from external contamination, although the rest of the room in which finds the work plan contains air likely to be polluted, the personnel assigned to tasks relating to said objects which may therefore be subject to constraints less strict hygienic.
  • This work plan can be a fixed tray, on which are placed items to be processed or subjected to any operation, either manual or automated.
  • It can also consist of a carrier, for example a carpet mobile, which successively brings articles to be treated to the work station, and then evacuated when the operation is complete.
  • a carrier for example a carpet mobile, which successively brings articles to be treated to the work station, and then evacuated when the operation is complete.
  • the articles are for example containers which are transported to the tail leu leu by the moving belt, and which is filled by a dispensing head arranged in the protected area, so that the filling product is free from contamination.

  • the room is open on only one of its sides, accessible to a operator, and this side is traversed by a second stream of clean air, which affects the shape an approximately vertical curtain, directed from top to bottom.
  • Air is drawn in at the front edge (open side of the chamber) of the working surface and is recycled via an atmosphere regeneration device, so that his journey is on a closed circuit.
  • the horizontal air flow which crosses the interior of the chamber, presents almost constant speed distribution over the entire height of the chamber; the value of the speed is independent of the height of the point considered in relation to the work surface.
  • the device which is the subject of document EP-A-0 375 343 comprises a horizontal work surface which is clear both on the top and on one of its sides.
  • This chamber produces a double flow, namely a horizontal flow passing above the worktop, and a multi-directional flow formed of a plurality of small jets produced by holes formed in the various partitions of the chamber.
  • Cylinder arc shaped guides lining the interior of this chamber ensure the deflection of air from the box to produce the flow horizontal above.
  • this known device has the advantage of its accessibility both by one side of the worktop and from the top, it has the disadvantage that the distribution of the horizontal flow velocities, above the work plane, is constant.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks by proposing a method and a device of close protection which, while allowing a good accessibility to the work surface, ensures perfect protection of the items placed on this work plan.
  • the invention also relates to a close protection device a horizontal worktop by means of a clean air flow, in which the worktop work is clear and accessible both on top and on at least one side, called side free.
  • carrier is meant both a single carrier than a group of two or more than two carriers arranged side by side, for example several adjoining carpets.
  • the reference 1 has designated a work surface which, in this case, is a fixed horizontal tray, of rectangular shape, supported by a base 11 placed or fixed to the ground S.
  • the upper face 10 of the work surface is intended to receive articles to be subjected to any manipulation and / or treatment which must operate in a clean atmosphere.

  • the box 2 is fixed to the plate 1 and / or to the base 11 by members appropriate, not shown.
  • a system 4 for generating an air flow consisting of one or more electric fan (s) able to draw air from the inlet 20 of the box, edge side 10b, to inject it on the other side, on the edge side 10a.
  • the air inlet portion 20 of the box has a smaller section than the main portion 22 which receives the generator 4.
  • This portion 20 constitutes a suction mouth located under the plate 1, just near ledge 10b.
  • the transition between the narrowed portion 20 and the portion main 22 is done via a divergent portion 21.
  • the main portion 22 opens into a semi-cylindrical guide 3, whose radius corresponds to the height of the portion 22, and whose axis of revolution is located at the edge 10a location.

  • This side 100 will conventionally be called "free side”.
  • the other side, referenced 101, where the guide 3 is located will be called “side upstream”, by reference to the direction of movement of the clean air flow above the plane of job.
  • the spaces 100 and 102 being clear and accessible, the operator can move place without difficulty near the work surface, handle the articles to be treated, and can involve different instruments or materials, for example mobile fillers located in the upper space 102.
  • the generator 4 having been started, it will continuously suck a flow of air through the mouth 20, as symbolized by the arrow a .
  • the air flow leaves the box 2, as symbolized by the arrows b , and is deflected 180 ° inside the semi-cylindrical guide 3.
  • the external vein which becomes the upper vein - or high vein - V 1 , has a speed significantly greater than the rest of the flow.
  • This vein has been materialized by cross-hatching in FIG. 1, while the rest of the flow, or lower vein, is referenced V 0 .
  • vein V 0 there is a gradient of velocities, the latter being very low, or even zero, in the vicinity of the face 10, to gradually increase upward, up to the vein V 1 .
  • the radius of the guide 3, which determines the height of the air flow supplied by the guide above the work surface, is preferably chosen according to the height of the articles A considered, so that these articles are immersed in the lower flow V 0 .
  • the axis of revolution of the semi-cylindrical guide 3 coincides substantially with the edge 10a.
  • This provision is not mandatory.
  • the position of the axis could be shifted, up or down, and the radius modified to adjust the intensity of the speeds of V 0 and V 1 .
  • the high vein V 1 plays the role of a vault-shaped shield which protects all the space above the surface 10, which it shelters from pollution of the ambient air, being in the open upper space 102 and on the open side 100.
  • the air flows from the lower vein V 0 and from the upper vein V 1 are respectively symbolized by the arrows d and e .

  • One or more filter (s) 5 is (are) mounted at the outlet of the fans 4, for example at the base of the chimney 6.
  • the guide 7 which channels the clean air flow at its inlet above the deflected worktop air only on a quarter of circumference (90 °).
  • the velocity gradient is such that there is not a significant difference between the velocities measured in the high vein V 1 and in the rest of the flow V 0 .
  • FIGS. 3, 5 and 6 provision is made a series of three deflectors 60.
