Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un système de déclenchement à élément fusible.The subject of the present invention is a triggering system fuse element.
De façon plus précise, l'invention concerne un système qui permet de provoquer le déplacement d'une tige de façon très soudaine lorsque la température environnante dépasse un seuil prédéterminé, le déplacement de cette tige permettant d'actionner un dispositif, par exemple un dispositif de sécurité.More specifically, the invention relates to a system that allows cause a rod to move very suddenly when the temperature surrounding area exceeds a predetermined threshold, the displacement of this rod allowing to actuate a device, for example a safety device.
On rencontre ce problème notamment, mais non exclusivement, dans le cas des soupapes d'aération installées dans les locaux privés ou publics et dont la fonction est en temps normal de laisser le passage pour l'air circulant dans le conduit sur lequel est montée la soupape d'aération et de commander la fermeture de cette soupape lorsque des conditions de température dans le conduit dépassent un seuil prédéterminé (voir par exemple le document GB-A-1061548, sur lequel est fondée la forme en deux parties de la revendication 1). Une telle action a bien sûr pour but d'empêcher la propagation d'un incendie ou de fumée dans les locaux en cas de sinistre.This problem is particularly, but not exclusively, the case of ventilation valves installed in private or public premises and of which the function is normally to leave the passage for the air circulating in the duct on which is mounted the vent valve and to control the closure of this valve when temperature conditions in the duct exceed a predetermined threshold (see for example GB-A-1061548, on which is based the two-part form of claim 1). Such action is of course intended to prevent the Spread of fire or smoke in the premises in the event of a disaster.
On comprend que, de par sa nature même, le système de déclenchement est destiné à être monté dans un environnement défavorable susceptible d'affecter la tenue mécanique de ce système notamment par les conditions de température ou d'humidité.It is understandable that, by its very nature, the system of trigger is intended to be mounted in an adverse environment likely to affect the mechanical strength of this system, in particular by temperature or humidity conditions.
On comprend également que, souvent, le conduit de ventilation présente à proximité de la bouche de ventilation un coude qui fait que la place disponible pour monter le système de déclenchement de la soupape d'aération est limitée.It is also understood that often the ventilation duct present near the vent mouth a bend that makes that place available to mount the trigger system the aeration valve is limited.
Par ailleurs, on comprend que ces soupapes d'aération constituant un élément très important de sécurité des bâtiments, il faut s'assurer que son système de déclenchement est en état de fonctionner, ce qui entraÃne la mise en oeuvre de contrôles techniques périodiques. Ces contrôles périodiques nécessitent le démontage de la bouche de ventilation, ce qui est une opération relativement onéreuse.Moreover, it is understood that these aeration valves constituting a very important element of building safety, it must be ensured that its system triggering is in working order, which leads to the implementation of periodic technical inspections. These periodic checks require the disassembly of the ventilation vent, which is a relatively expensive.
On comprend donc qu'il existe un besoin de disposer de systèmes de déclenchement à élément fusible de faible encombrement dont, si possible, la structure même garantit leur bon fonctionnement malgré l'environnement défavorable afin d'éviter d'avoir à effectuer les contrôles périodiques.It is therefore understandable that there is a need for systems of low-profile fuse element tripping, of which, if possible, the structure itself ensures their smooth operation despite the environment unfavorable in order to avoid having to carry out periodic checks.
Pour atteindre ce but selon l'invention, le système de déclenchement à élément fusible se caractérise en ce qu'il comprend :
- un élément tubulaire comportant une première extrémité munie de premiers moyens formant butée et d'un orifice et une deuxième extrémité ouverte, ledit élément tubulaire comportant un filetage externe de réglage en position ;
- une tige montée mobile selon l'axe dudit élément tubulaire présentant une première extrémité qui fait saillie hors dudit orifice et une deuxième extrémité munie de deuxièmes moyens formant butée mécanique ;
- un ressort monté dans l'élément tubulaire autour de ladite tige et présentant une première extrémité en appui sur les premiers moyens formant butée et une deuxième extrémité en appui sur les deuxièmes moyens formant butée ;
- un élément fusible comprenant une première pièce reliée mécaniquement à une deuxième pièce par un matériau fusible à une température prédéterminée ;
- des moyens pour relier mécaniquement la première pièce de l'élément fusible à la deuxième extrémité de ladite pièce tubulaire ; et
- des moyens pour faire coopérer mécaniquement la deuxième pièce de l'élément fusible avec la deuxième extrémité de ladite tige, par quoi ledit ressort est maintenu comprimé au moins partiellement dans ledit élément tubulaire.
- a tubular member having a first end provided with first stop means and an orifice and a second open end, said tubular member having an external adjustment thread in position;
- a rod mounted movably along the axis of said tubular element having a first end projecting from said orifice and a second end provided with second means forming a mechanical stop;
- a spring mounted in the tubular element around said rod and having a first end bearing on the first abutment means and a second end bearing on the second abutment means;
- a fuse element comprising a first part mechanically connected to a second part by a fusible material at a predetermined temperature;
- means for mechanically connecting the first part of the fuse element to the second end of said tubular part; and
- means for mechanically cooperating the second part of the fuse element with the second end of said rod, whereby said spring is kept compressed at least partially in said tubular element.
On comprend que, grâce aux dispositions de l'invention, l'encombrement longitudinal dû à l'ensemble constitué par l'élément tubulaire et le ressort de rappel est très sensiblement réduit par rapport aux solutions antérieures. Cela donne davantage de liberté pour choisir la course de la tige et la vitesse de fermeture. Dans le cas où le système de déclenchement sert à équiper une soupape d'aération, cela permet donc de disposer d'une grande liberté pour choisir la course de l'obturateur fixé sur la tige du système, la vitesse de fermeture et surtout la pression de fermeture. En outre, grâce à la présence du filetage externe, le système de déclenchement peut être réglé en position par rapport au corps de la soupape.It is understood that, thanks to the provisions of the invention, the longitudinal bulk due to the assembly constituted by the tubular element and the return spring is very significantly reduced compared to previous solutions. This gives more freedom to choose the stem stroke and the speed of closing. In the case where the trigger system is used to equip a valve aeration, this allows to have a great freedom to choose the race of the shutter fixed on the rod of the system, the speed of closing and especially the closing pressure. In addition, thanks to the presence of the external thread, the system trigger can be adjusted in position relative to the body of the valve.
De préférence, à l'état comprimé, le ressort est entièrement contenu dans l'élément tubulaire et de préférence également, la deuxième extrémité de la pièce tubulaire est obturée par les deuxièmes moyens formant butée ou ladite deuxième pièce de l'élément fusible.Preferably, in the compressed state, the spring is entirely contained in the tubular element and preferably also the second end of the tubular piece is closed by the second means forming a stop or said second piece of the fuse element.
On comprend qu'ainsi le ressort qui constitue la pièce critique du système de déclenchement est entièrement contenu dans un volume fermé limité par la pièce tubulaire dont l'extrémité est obturée.We understand that the spring is the critical piece of trigger system is fully contained in a limited closed volume by the tubular piece whose end is closed.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, les deux pièces constituant l'élément fusible sont chacune munies d'un trou, les moyens de liaison mécanique comprennent une première patte solidaire de la deuxième extrémité de l'élément tubulaire dont l'extrémité libre pénètre dans le trou de la deuxième pièce de l'élément fusible et les moyens de coopération mécanique comprennent une deuxième patte solidaire de la deuxième extrémité de la tige et dont l'extrémité libre pénètre dans le trou de la première pièce de l'élément fusible.According to a first embodiment, the two constituent pieces the fuse element are each provided with a hole, the mechanical connection means include a first leg secured to the second end of the element tubular whose free end enters the hole of the second piece of the fuse element and the mechanical cooperation means comprise a second lug secured to the second end of the rod and whose end free penetrates the hole of the first piece of the fuse element.
Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, le système de déclenchement se caractérise en ce que la deuxième pièce de l'élément fusible consiste en un écrou ; en ce que les moyens de liaison mécanique comprennent un filetage sur la face externe de la deuxième extrémité de l'élément tubulaire, sur lequel est monté l'écrou, en ce que la première pièce de l'élément fusible consiste en un couvercle fixé sur la face latérale de l'écrou par ledit matériau fusible et en ce que les moyens de coopération mécanique consistent dans le fait que la deuxième extrémité de ladite tige est en appui sur la face interne dudit couvercle.According to a second embodiment, the triggering system characterized in that the second piece of the fuse element consists of a nut; in that the mechanical connection means comprise a thread on the outer face of the second end of the tubular element, on which is mounted the nut, in that the first piece of the fuse element consists of a cover fixed on the lateral face of the nut by said fusible material and in that the means of mechanical cooperation consist in the fact that the second end of said rod is supported on the inner face of said lid.
Ce deuxième mode de réalisation présente un intérêt particulier dans la mesure ou non seulement l'encombrement longitudinal est réduit, mais également l'encombrement transversal selon des directions perpendiculaires à la longueur de la tige mobile.This second embodiment is of particular interest in the measure or not only the longitudinal clutter is reduced, but also the transverse bulk in directions perpendicular to the length of the moving rod.

En se référant tout d'abord aux figures 1 à 3, on va décrire un premier mode de réalisation du système de déclenchement à élément fusible.Referring first to Figures 1 to 3, we will describe a first embodiment of the fusible element trigger system.
Le système de déclenchement 10 comprend une pièce tubulaire 12
dont une première extrémité 14 est munie d'un rebord 16 qui limite un trou axial
18 et une deuxième extrémité 20 qui est ouverte. La pièce tubulaire 12 comporte
un filetage externe 22 pour en faciliter le montage sur un dispositif, par exemple
une soupape de ventilation. A l'intérieur de la pièce tubulaire 12 est montée une
tige à déplacement axial 24 dont l'extrémité 26 est destinée à être rendue solidaire
d'un dispositif à commander et dont la deuxième extrémité 28 est équipée d'une
butée mécanique 30 qui est de préférence constituée par une rondelle fixée sur
l'extrémité 28 de la tige 24. Cette tige est en une seule pièce. Un ressort de rappel
32 est monté autour de la tige 24 à l'intérieur de la pièce tubulaire 12. La première
extrémité 34 du ressort est en appui sur la butée 16, alors que sa deuxième
extrémité 36 est en appui sur la butée mécanique 30 de la tige 24. Le système de
déclenchement est équipé d'un élément fusible 40 qui est, dans le mode de
réalisation considéré, de préférence constitué par deux plaquettes métalliques 42 et
44 reliées entre elles par une couche d'un matériau fusible adhésif 46 tel qu'un
matériau de soudure, de brasage ou encore une colle présentant un point de fusion
à la température de déclenchement souhaitée. Les pièces 42 et 44 sont chacune
équipées d'un trou 48 et 50.The triggering
Comme le montre la figure 1, la pièce tubulaire 12 est munie Ã
proximité de son extrémité 20 d'une première patte s'étendant selon une direction
radiale 52, alors que la butée mécanique 30 et donc la tige 24 sont également
équipées à proximité de leur extrémité 28 d'une deuxième patte radiale 54. Les
extrémités des pattes 52 et 54 sont destinées à pénétrer dans les orifices 48 et 50
de l'élément fusible 40. Les différents éléments du système de déclenchement sont
dimensionnés de telle manière que, lorsque le système est intact, le ressort 32 est
entièrement disposé à l'intérieur de la pièce tubulaire 12 et la butée mécanique 30
obture l'extrémité ouverte 20 de cette pièce tubulaire. Ainsi, le ressort 32 est
entièrement enfermé à l'intérieur de la pièce tubulaire 12 notamment du fait que
l'orifice 18 de la pièce tubulaire a un diamètre qui est très légèrement supérieur au
diamètre de la tige 24.As shown in FIG. 1, the
Le fonctionnement du système de déclenchement à élément fusible est
très simple. Lorsque la température atteint la valeur prédéterminée, la couche de
matériau adhésif 46 perd ses propriétés adhésives et ses propriétés mécaniques et
permet la séparation brutale des pièces 42 et 44. Cette séparation libère la patte 54
par rapport à la patte 52, ce qui autorise la détente du ressort 32 et donc le
déplacement de la tige 24 vers l'arrière si l'on se réfère à la figure 3.The operation of the fuse trigger system is
very simple. When the temperature reaches the predetermined value, the
En se référant maintenant à la figure 4, on va décrire un deuxième mode de réalisation du système de déclenchement à élément fusible qui se différencie du système de la figure 1 uniquement par la réalisation de l'élément fusible.Referring now to Figure 4, we will describe a second embodiment of the fusible element trigger system which is differentiates from the system of Figure 1 only by the realization of the element fuse.
Selon ce mode de réalisation, l'élément fusible qui porte la référence
générale 60 est constitué par un couvercle plat 62 qui est fixé sur une face
latérale 64 d'un écrou 66. La liaison entre la face latérale 64 et la périphérie de la
face interne de la plaque 62 est réalisée à l'aide d'une couche d'un matériau adhésif
68 qui perd ses propriétés d'adhérence à la température prédéterminée et qui est de
la même nature que le matériau constituant la couche 46 du premier mode de
réalisation. L'écrou 66 est vissé sur le filetage externe 22 de la pièce tubulaire 12 Ã
son extrémité ouverte 20. Ainsi, la plaque 62 appuie sur l'extrémité 28 de la
tige 24 et comprime le ressort à l'intérieur de la pièce tubulaire 12. De préférence,
afin d'éviter un serrage trop important de l'écrou 66 qui pourrait provoquer une
séparation accidentelle de la plaque 62 par rapport à cet écrou, on prévoit une
butée mécanique 70 fixée sur la face externe de la pièce tubulaire 12.According to this embodiment, the fuse element which bears the
On comprend que, dans ce cas encore, le ressort 32 est entièrement
confiné à l'intérieur de la pièce tubulaire 12 dont l'extrémité avant est
pratiquement obturée par le rebord 16 et la tige 24 et dont l'extrémité arrière est
obturée par la plaque 62.It is understood that, in this case again, the
En outre, dans ce mode de réalisation, l'encombrement transversal du
système de déclenchement est réduit par rapport à celui du mode de réalisation de
la figure 1 puisqu'il se limite au diamètre externe de l'écrou 66.In addition, in this embodiment, the transverse bulk of the
triggering system is reduced compared to that of the embodiment of
Figure 1 since it is limited to the outer diameter of the
Les figures 5a et 5b montrent un exemple d'utilisation du système de
déclenchement 10 à la réalisation d'une soupape de ventilation 80. Sur cette figure,
on a représenté le corps 82 de la soupape qui constitue un siège 84 pour
l'obturateur 86 de la soupape. L'obturateur 86 est fixé à l'extrémité 26 de la tige 24
du système de déclenchement. Le corps 82 de la soupape est équipé d'un système
de fixation et de positionnement du système de déclenchement 10 qui comprend
de préférence des bras rayonnants 88 reliant le corps 82 à un moyeu axial fileté 90.
La pièce tubulaire 12 du système de déclenchement 10 qui comporte dans ce cas le
filetage externe 22 est vissée dans le moyeu axial taraudé 90 de la soupape. Un
contre-écrou 92 vissé sur le filetage externe 22 de la pièce tubulaire permet de
régler la position de la pièce tubulaire 12 par rapport au système de fixation 88.FIGS. 5a and 5b show an example of use of the system of
triggering 10 to the realization of a
Il va de soi que le système de déclenchement à élément fusible selon
l'invention peut avoir d'autres utilisations. Notamment, l'extrémité 26 de la tige 24
peut constituer un verrou escamotable pour maintenir en position de repos une
pièce, par exemple un volet, montée pivotante autour d'un axe parallèle à la
tige 24 et soumise à l'action d'un ressort de rappel. Sous l'effet de la température,
la tige 24 s'escamote et autorise la rotation de la pièce.It goes without saying that the trigger system with fuse element according to
the invention may have other uses. In particular, the
