Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new multifunctional fireplace, stove or insert type, solid fuel, preferably wood, or gas.
  • the criteria can be functional such as the performance requirement (closed hearth and possibly running at idle, in continuous), the demand for forced air in the room where the fireplace (secondary air intake and use of fans for example), the possibility of grilling or cooking (use in barbecue mode oven or oven with warming compartment).
  • the insert or "cassette”, on the door glazed requires an external air supply which sweeps the inside of the glass, to keep it clean.
  • the criteria can also be purely aesthetic or related to perception (play of fire flames wood, characteristic odor, crackling embers).
  • Document DE 3527810 A proposes a fireplace combining several features.
  • This fireplace has essentially a heating body delimiting a room combustion, a grate surmounting an ashtray, a combustion air intake and smoke evacuation.
  • the heating body has a wall cylindrical resting on a base at its base and is connected to its upper part to the smoke evacuation.
  • Front access to the bedroom combustion is obtained from the fact that the cylindrical wall vertical does not cover the entire periphery of the room.
  • a drum-shaped ferrule surrounding concentrically the vertical wall of the chamber and can rotate on its axis, consists of several parts, part being covered with a panel of material transparent, for example glass, a second part is lined with a grid or lattice, or a perforated sheet serving as a spark arrester, and a third part is consisting of a sheet metal plate, while a fourth part is only constituted by an open frame giving direct access to the combustion chamber.
  • any garnishes sealing between the moving part and the fixed part is easily deteriorate during movement of the part mobile, when no precaution is taken to avoid the friction of the movable part on the fixed part.
  • GB 667 570 A provides screens two-part spark arrester for an open hearth, arched shape and different types, which can be at choices retracted or rotated in front of the hearth.
  • One of the screens may be one sheet and another may be formed by a grid, trellis or the like.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a fireplace designed in such a way that it allows remedy the drawbacks of the state of the art.
  • the invention relates in particular to a hearth multifunctional allowing the user to benefit of several distinct features which are the high efficiency heating, visual pleasure equivalent to that provided by a traditional open fire and use for grilling or cooking with the same apparatus.
  • the invention also aims to propose adequate measures to reduce soiling, at least the glazed part, by tar or soot deposits.
  • the present invention relates to a solid fuel, preferably wood, or gas, consisting of a heating body made of cast iron or sheet steel, comprising a combustion chamber provided with an opening for the primary air intake, at least one opening for the evacuation of consumed gases and an access opening to said combustion chamber, characterized in that said fireplace has one or more doors that can give access to said combustion chamber and which can be brought into with respect to said access opening, by a movement of rotation or translation of a mobile support on which the door (s) are hinged, each door allowing the user to benefit from at least one feature clean of said hearth.
  • a position of the mobile support discovers the access opening and, that minus another position of the support brings in front the access opening a door which can be glazed, full, or furnished with a trellis or the like serving as spark arrester.
  • door should be understood in the sense wide, as being a movable panel articulated by a hinge, hinges or hinges, for sealing access opening.
  • seals are provided, on the one hand between the body of the combustion chamber and the movable support and, on the other hand between the doors and the mobile support.
  • the support mobile In order to avoid damaging the seal between the mobile support and the combustion chamber during moving the mobile support, it is expected that the support mobile is guided to move away from the room during the rotation or translation and be applied with interposition seal on it when stopped in a operational position bringing a door towards access opening.
  • the movement of rotation or translation is carried out by any appropriate means, for example by movement on a raceway by means of rollers or ball bearings integral with said movable support.
  • the hearth comprises a body of heater which is cylindrical and a movable support on a circular raceway, fitted with doors that can be brought sequentially in front of said opening sliding access.
  • the mobile support is a drum concentric with the cylindrical heating body and radius greater than that of said heating body.
  • the drum has two or three doors depending on the shape of a arc of a circle, each door being subtended by an angle in the center of 120 °.
  • the hearth is of the built-in insert type in a masonry, whose doors are brought sequentially opposite said access opening by displacement (sliding or rolling) of the mobile support on at least one guide or straight rail.
  • the mobile support according to the second form illustrative embodiment of the invention is plan, at least a door which is not in front of the access opening to the the heating element is advantageously retracted in a housing provided for this purpose in masonry.
  • the movement of sliding relative to the access opening vertically (top to bottom and bottom to top) and, depending on a second embodiment, the movement takes place horizontally, from left to right and vice versa.
  • a closed position of the access opening which consists of a glass door.
  • another closed position can, in particular in the version of a horizontal movement of slip, be constituted by a cover plate or a spark arrester.
  • the door is also articulated on a hinge (hinges), itself horizontal or vertical.
  • the most logical solution for make this type of fireplace with at least one double functionality i.e. direct access to the combustion without obturation and total obturation or partial using a glazed part, consists of providing a frame serving as a frame in front of the access opening and to mount it externally, in the foreground, the door forming swinging or tilting depending on whether the hinge or the hinges are arranged vertically or horizontally.
  • the sliding movement relative to the access opening causes, in this case, said frame (dormant) and the door, by a suitable slide system mounted on the frame.
  • Sliding can be done using telescopic slides, rollers or any other means ensuring both the movement and the guiding of the sliding door.
  • a cable-pulley and counterweight system can be used to facilitate movement.
  • this is the carrier frame (not the door) that pivots (including mechanisms) around a horizontal axis or vertical.
  • the sliding door and its frame (or support), can be made in various shapes and proportions based on configurations indicated.
  • the sliding door can be full, glazed or hollowed out (partially or totally) and this, in all the movement configurations described above.
  • the supporting frame or box
  • moving the door does not cause a change of the “physiognomy” of the home, mainly in the case where the door is glazed.
  • the sliding door can be devoid of metal frame, at least on its lower side, so that a partial displacement can be envisaged without creating visual obstacle on the background (flames); this possibility of partially raising the glazed part is particularly important insofar as it allows to remedy most of the repression problems, without altering the vision of the flames in the hearth.
  • a device is provided so that in position raised (partial or total), the gasket of the door remains applied over its entire length.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show views in perspective of a particular form of execution preferred of the invention, in the form of a cylindrical drum stove.
  • Figure 3 shows a schematic view of above a drum according to the invention, provided with its doors (open).
  • Figure 4 shows a front view of a drum according to the invention, provided with its doors (closed).
  • Figure 5 illustrates a sectional view of a combustion chamber body and a drum as well gaskets in the case of a closed door.
  • Figure 6 is an enlarged detail view of FIG. 5 illustrating the articulation of a door and the locking of the neighboring door.
  • Figure 7 corresponds to Figure 5 in the open door.
  • Figure 8 is a similar overview in Figure 5 illustrating the guide and drum support as well as boss and exhaust to ensure the rotation of the drum, without friction on the joints.
  • FIGs 9 and 10 are details of two parts shown in figure 8.
  • Figure 11 shows a front view schematic of a cassette with several doors sliding.
  • Figures 12 and 13 illustrate schematically the two variants of a sliding door vertically and horizontally in a frame.
  • Figures 14 to 21 illustrate, for these two variants, the possible movements of the frame in which slides the door, respectively on a horizontal axis and vertical.
  • Figure 22 shows a sectional view of a combustion chamber body and a sliding door vertically or horizontally, as illustrated by example in Figures 12 and 13.
  • the principle underlying this invention is to associate a specific functionality with a particular door. It should be noted that the dormant of the door is standard, but if necessary the opening which will be provided with specific characteristics.
  • the idea is each time to bring before a opening in the heating body a door specific or leave the access opening open.
  • available doors are arranged on a drum concentric to a cylindrical heater with a radius smaller than that of the drum.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a focus in the apparent form of a hearth or stove cylindrical.
  • the hearth includes a heating body 1 classic in sheet steel or cast iron. This delimits a combustion chamber, possibly covered with insulating linings in refractory material. An opening is provided for the injection of primary air at the base of the flames, via a register which allows to regulate the flow. Under the combustion chamber is placed an ash pan 2 of large capacity. The connection to the chimney is provided via openings 3, preferably circular, located on the upper part of the heating body, i.e. on the back, or on top of it. The body of heater is finally provided with an opening 4 (figure 2) allowing access and vision inside of it, at the combustion chamber.
  • the heating body is provided on its outer periphery of a concentric sheet metal drum 5 of steel or cast iron, provided with three doors 6, hinged on the support 5, each arranged in a corresponding arc at an angle at the center of 120 °.
  • the dimensions of each door are such that each of these can come close, preferably completely, the opening corresponding 4 formed in the heating body.
  • the Figures 3 and 4 show a support 5 in the form of a drum provided with three doors 6, including a solid door. Depending on the case, the latter includes an opening or can be limited to a simple sealed cylindrical wall.
  • Examples of possible doors are a fully glazed glass ceramic door, one door, possibly partially glazed, presenting a opening allowing the passage of air from the outside inward, as well as that of dishes or a grid barbecue, or a full door.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show in particular the drum 5 insulated and provided with three doors: a full door 6A, a fully glazed door 6B and a door 6C which can be partially glazed or fitted with a spark arrester.
  • Each door can be placed opposite the opening made in the heating body by rotation manual support around its axis which is also the axis of symmetry of revolution of the heating body cylindrical.
  • the contact surface between the drum and the heating element is a raceway 7.
  • the bearings for example three in number (not shown), are arranged on the drum.
  • Figure 5 shows that the heater 1 is covered over most of its periphery with a insulating refractory material 21 which is of course interrupted at the access opening 4.
  • the body sheet of heating is shaped to receive a seal 23 interposed between the body of heats 1 and the drum 5 extending over the entire periphery of the opening 4.
  • Each door 6 is mounted on a hinge shown schematically by the reference 25 and is provided with a locking device represented schematically by reference 27.
  • a second seal 29 is interposed between the drum 5 and each door 6 which extends over the entire periphery of door 6 and that it equips.
  • door 6 hinges on the rotating drum 5 to allow access at the opening 4 of the combustion chamber.
  • the rail is indicated constituting the raceway 7, the bearing of horizontal guide 32 and support bearing 33 provided to ensure the rotational movement of the drum 5.
  • Cover pieces 30 and 31 are designed to protect the seals and mechanisms (figure 5).
  • a boss 35 (FIG. 9) is provided at the back of the combustion chamber and the exhausts 37 ( Figure 10) on either side of the opening 4 so that during the movement of movement (rotation) of the drum intended to bring a door 6 in front of the access opening 4, the seal 23 is not compressed on the frame of the drum.
  • boss 35 and exhausts 37 results in off-center drum 5 relative to the cylindrical combustion chamber 1 and thus compressing the seal 23, by pressing said drum on the room, at the two angular positions where are located the exhausts 37.
  • the combustion chamber is sealed.
  • the drum and the chamber again have the same axis of symmetry of revolution, this axis also passing through the center of the circular raceway 7.
  • Figure 11 shows another form of particularly preferred execution, presented under form of a flat movable support 15, comprising three doors.
  • the doors shown in the figure are given as many other possibilities correspond to the present invention. So here we have a glazed door 11, a partially glazed door 12 and a solid door 13.
  • the movable support 15 is free to move linearly in a recess 16 of the masonry 10.
  • the mobile support is provided with bearings (not shown) and slides on rails making up the path bearing 17.
  • the length of the recess is such that each door can be placed opposite the opening practiced in masonry and which corresponds to the position of the opening in the heater 14.
  • the fully glazed door 11 allows the user to benefit from the effect aesthetic and ambience with a suitable yield.
  • the partially glazed door 12 further increases this effect of "open fire” type, partial opening allowing increasing circulation while preventing backflow fumes.
  • barbecue type use is possible with this type of door.
  • the full door 13 allows very high efficiency use, possibly continuously. We can thus combine, in this form several functions not compatible with only one type of door.
  • Figures 12 and 13 illustrate the movement possible of the door on its supporting frame and the figures 14 to 20 the pivoting movements of this frame on an axis horizontal ( Figures 14 and 15) and on a vertical axis ( Figures 16 and 17) in the case of a configuration linear.
  • Figures 18 and 19 When a non-linear arrangement is adopted, as partially circular ( Figures 18 and 19) or prismatic (figure 20), the number of movements possible is illustrated in the respective figures.
  • a fireplace can be equipped with three load-bearing frames (or boxes) and two sliding doors, one of which is glazed and the other full. The user can thus choose between three modes Operating.
