Definitions
- the invention relates to a tank provided with a inspection and a tank vehicle comprising such a tank.
- the invention relates to a tank formed by a cylindrical envelope, closed at its two ends, which is provided, at the top, with an inspection hatch, also called manhole or manhole, comprising a cylindrical ferrule and a cover.
- the term "cylindrical” must be understood as designating any general shape of the tank envelope with the exception of the spherical shape.
- the present invention applies to tanks constituted by an elongated tank, the precise shape of the envelope, namely cylindrical, cylindrical of revolution, frustoconical or all mixed forms, being indifferent, since the invention relates more specifically the arrangement of the inspection hatch on the tank and the part of the tank in which the inspection hatch is located.
- the present invention applies equally to tanks made up of a single tank and to tanks divided or divided into, or made up of, several tanks and that, for this reason, in the description below, the term “tank” covers both.
- Tank inspection hatches have several functions. One of these functions is to provide access to the interior of the tank for filling it and also for work inspection, cleaning or even repair. Another function is to allow the filling rate to be identified of the tank, and yet another function is that of a vent during when filling or emptying the tank if entrances and Separate outputs are provided for these effects. All of these functions, and possibly others, cause openings and frequent closings of the tank inspection hatch. For this reason and, moreover, to facilitate opening and closing of the inspection hatch, this consists of a ferrule cylindrical secured to the tank shell, and by a cover usually attached to the shell by a hinge.
- each of the hatches the tank is therefore protruding at the top of the tank.
- the height of the tank is thus increased by an additional height likely to constitute a constraint when choosing a tank.
- the tank When the tank must be installed in a room it must not exceed a given height taking into account dimensions of this room or taking into account the maximum height of passage through an opening to access this room. And when the tank is intended to equip a road vehicle or a vehicle rail, the vehicle including the tank must not exceed the regulatory height according to the corresponding template. The hatch of inspection being projecting from the tank envelope, the effective height of the vehicle, and therefore also the useful volume of the tank, is thus reduced.
- this loss of height can sometimes be compensated by a greater width of the tank.
- this possibility of compensation is generally limited by the same size as that limiting the height of the tank.
- the object of the invention is to propose a tank whose inspection hatch does not exceed the silhouette of the tank, but which still has a simple design and allows in particular easy handling of the hatch cover, comparable to the known design and ease of handling of tanks used so far.
- the object of the invention is achieved by a tank formed by a cylindrical envelope, closed at both ends, provided at the top of a inspection hatch including a ferrule cylindrical, seat with a cover.
- the ferrule extends inside the envelope and, relative to the top of the envelope, at a level such that the upper surface of the cover defines a plane extending parallel to, and at the shortest distance possible from the top of the envelope, the shell being surrounded by a channel opening at at least one place on the envelope.
- the height of the ferrule is chosen so that the upper face of the cover and no other part of the inspection hatch are located at a level higher than that of the top of the envelope.
- the depth of the inspection hatch shell is chosen so that that the channel is divided into two parts.
- the ferrule of the inspection hatch is lowered inside the envelope, depending on the diameter of the ferrule and of the radius defining the curvature of the upper part of the tank, at a level such as the bottom of the channel, represented by a circle in the case of a cylindrical inspection hatch, cuts the tank shell in at least two places.
- This preferred arrangement of the invention provides the channel for two openings allowing flow to both one side and towards the other side of the tank.
- the ferrule is cylindrical with revolution and the channel opens in two places diametrically opposite on the envelope, these openings dividing the channel in two parts each of which surrounds less than half of the shell.
- the ferrule has a section non-circular cross-section, the longest axis of this section forming a non-rectangle angle with the longitudinal axis of the tank.
- the cover can be attached to the shell by a hinge and closed by quick closing means. It can also be both fixed and closed with a few quick fasteners.
- the invention can be applied in two ways different. The first is that of being able to manufacture tanks whose overall height is reduced by the fact that the hatches no longer exceed the top of the tank. The second is that of being able to increase the volume of the tanks without increasing the current overall height of the corresponding tanks.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by a tank vehicle comprising a tank having the characteristics described above.
- the tank vehicle shown in Figure 1 consists of essentially by a tank formed, according to the invention, by a cylindrical casing 1 closed at both ends.
- the tank is represented with a single inspection hatch 2 arranged symmetrically with respect to the top 11 of the tank.
- the tank without departing from the scope of the present invention, either divided into several compartments each of which is provided with a hatch inspection, or that the tank forms a single compartment, but either provided with several inspection hatches, or even that the tank is formed, regardless of a possible distribution in several compartments, by two or more envelope parts cylindrical, cylindrical of revolution or frustoconical, the axes form various angles between them.
- the inspection hatch is shown, to simplify the drawing and the explanation, as being constituted essentially by a cylindrical ferrule 21 of revolution and a cover 22 to circular circumference.
- the inspection hatch is shown, to simplify the drawing and the explanation, as being constituted essentially by a cylindrical ferrule 21 of revolution and a cover 22 to circular circumference.
- other forms of the visit for example oval hatches, are conceivable, without depart from the scope of the present invention, in order to respond to special needs arising, for example, from use particular of the tank.
- the inspection hatch 2 and more particularly the ferrule 21, is surrounded on most of its periphery by two channels 241 and 242, referenced together as channel 24. This particular arrangement of the division of the channel 24 in two parts is obtained by a sufficient lowering h of the hatch visit inside the envelope.
- Figure 2 shows, disproportionately for a better clarity of the drawing, the arrangement of the invention according to which a plane A defined by the upper face 23 of the cover 22, extends to the smallest distance d from the vertex line 11 of envelope 1.
- This distance d can be of the order of 1 or 2 cm, while the tank inspection hatches used up to now exceed the envelope by ten or twenty cm about.
- Figures 3 and 4 show two sections transverse of the tank according to the invention at an axial distance one from the other. More specifically, Figure 3 shows a cross section passing through a line A-A corresponding to the place of the greatest depth of the channel relative to the envelope, while Figure 4 represents a section transverse passing through a line B-B constituting the axis of ferrule revolution 21.

Abstract
Description
De même, il est précisé que la présente invention s'applique indifféremment aux citernes constituées d'une seule cuve et aux citernes divisées ou reparties en, ou constituées par, plusieurs cuves et que, pour cette raison, dans la description ci-après, le terme " citerne " englobe les deux.
- la trappe de visite est abaissée par rapport au niveau défini par le sommet de l'enveloppe de la citerne. Le fait que la virole de la trappe de visite s'étend essentiellement à l'intérieur du volume défini par l'enveloppe, permet de placer la surface supérieure du couvercle, considérée dans le cadre de la présente invention comme la partie la plus élevée de la trappe de visite, au même niveau que la ligne de sommet de la partie de l'enveloppe de la citerne dans laquelle est disposée la trappe de visite. Ainsi, la hauteur maximale admise pour une citerne devient sensiblement identique à la hauteur de la ligne de sommet de l'enveloppe de la citerne.
- la trappe de visite, et plus particulièrement la virole cylindrique qui forme le siège pour le couvercle, est entourée d'une rigole. La rigole constitue un espace vide autour de la trappe de visite ce qui permet de continuer à utiliser des moyens simples tels que des charnières pour attacher le couvercle à la virole, et les moyens de fermeture du couvercle.
- la rigole débouche sur l'enveloppe. Cette disposition selon l'invention est obtenue avantageusement en choisissant la profondeur de la virole telle que le fond de la rigole, correspondant à un cercle pour une virole cylindrique de révolution, coupe l'enveloppe à au moins un endroit. Ainsi, la rigole est ouverte vers l'enveloppe à cet endroit ou à ces endroits. L'ouverture ainsi formée sert comme écoulement pour l'eau de pluie ou l'eau de lavage entrée dans la rigole.
