Definitions

- the objective of the present invention is to provide a conductive fabric which can be used with supply voltages of the "low voltage" type, that is to say, included in the conventional range from 12 volts to 48 volts.
- a another objective is to allow a great modularity so as to ensure a energy dissipation per unit area which is user configurable very easy way.
- Another objective is to provide a coated fabric whose coating does not disturb not the connection properties between the conductive wires.
- the invention therefore relates to a fabric which has conduction properties. electricity.
- this fabric comprises, arranged in a regular manner, strips of carbon threads which ensure energy dissipation when traversed by an electric current.
- These strips of carbon threads are connected together by strips of conductive wires such as metallic wires, strips of wires of metal serving as supply and current leads to the carbon threads.
- These strips of power wires are much more spaced apart from each other as strips of carbon threads.
- the distribution of metallic wires and carbon wires on the entire surface of the fabric gives it a matrix structure thanks to which it is possible to supply voltage to any length or fabric width, if this width or length is greater than the distance D separating the strips of metal wires.
- the supply wires are sufficiently numerous throughout the width of the fabric to form two electrodes for any cut tissue.
- the metallic wires used can be alloy-based wires nickel, aluminum wires, stainless steel wires, or wires covered with a layer of gold.
- non-conductive wires used between the metallic wires can advantageously be polyester yarns, used for their good behavior mechanical.
- metals can also be used if their resistivity is sufficiently low, compared with that of the carbon heating wires, and in taking into account the relationship between the distances d and D separating the different bands carbon wires and metallic power wires.
- the coating layers, and for example coating, covering the two sides of the fabric may be different.
- the distance d separating the strips of wires from carbon can be between 1 and 10 centimeters, the distance separating the metal wire bands then being between 20 centimeters and 2 meters.
- power can be obtained by connecting different bands of wires alternately at one of the two terminals of the power source electric.
- the fabric can have on its selvedges, and at the ends of the strips of metal wire, areas in which the coating layers are removed. In this way, by performing a cutting perpendicular to the metal wire strips, at the level of the latter, just extract the coating layers by sliding them around the wires by pulling them out of the fabric. We do the same so that we strip a sheathed metal wire by stripping the extremal zone of the strip of metal wire.
- These supply terminals can be arranged at the end of all or part of the metal terminals, depending on the supply voltage that wish to apply to the fabric.
- the power dissipated per unit is varied surface, which allows the fabric to be adapted to different applications.
- the invention relates to a heating textile which is produced by weaving, and which incorporates two different types of conductive threads in these directions a chain and a frame.
- the fabric (1) comprises strips (2) of carbon threads which are spaced apart by a distance d.
- This fabric (1) also includes strips (3) of metal wires.
- the carbon threads have a titer of 200 tex and have 200 fibers per thread.
- Each strip (2) comprises five carbon threads of this guy.
- the strips (2) of carbon threads are spaced by a distance d of 5 centimeters.
- the carbon wires can be replaced by wires with similar electrical properties, i.e. higher resistivity to the supply wires. Mention may for example be made of threads made from fibers metal, with a diameter of the order of a micrometer.
- the metal wires used are the wires of pure nickel twenty hundredths of a millimeter in diameter.
- Each strip (3) of wire metal includes ten nickel wires, which represents a bandwidth of the order of the centimeter.
- the strips (3) of metal wires are spaced apart by a distance D equal to about a meter.
- the voltage drop measured along the supply wires of a strip (3) is negligible with regard to the voltage drop measured along copper wires between two successive bands (3).
- the threads (4) used for the rest of the fabric are non-conductive threads, for example example of conventional high tenacity polyester yarns of 1100 dtex, 200 strands.
- the weaving of metallic threads (13, 14) with carbon threads (12) such as illustrated in FIG. 2, provides an advantage as regards the surface of contact between these different wires. Indeed, the contact area between the carbon wires (12) and the metal wires (13) extends over part of the circumference of the wires carbon (13), typically greater than a quarter of this circumference. The sons of carbon which are more flexible than the metallic wires tend to crush, this which considerably increases the contact surface.
- This large contact surface allows the passage of a current relatively high, such as those used for low voltage power supplies of the type 12 to 48 volts.
- the coating layer (15, 16) which covers both sides of the fabric, thus preventing any risk of contact with live areas.
- the coating layers (15, 16) are identical and made for example of PVC. However, as already mentioned, these layers (15, 16) can be different so as to influence the direction of the heat flow released by the carbon wires (12).
- the textile according to the invention when used as that top cover of a building, and that it is intended to ensure a melting snow control, we will favor the heat flow towards the upper face of the tissue.
- the coating layer (15) located on the upper side of the fabric has better thermal conductivity than the layer (16) located on the lower side.
- the coating used may be such that its conduction properties heat varies on the very surface of one side of the fabric. So by modulating this thermal conductivity, we can standardize the heat flow emitted between the zones comprising the carbon threads, and the spaces between these strips of carbon.
- FIG. 3 and 4 illustrate the manipulations necessary to ensure the connection of the tissue to a power source.
- the fabric (1) has on its selvedge (5) different weft threads which are visible through the coating layer (15).
- these apparent sons one identifies nonconductive polyester yarns (6) and metallic yarns (13).
- These metallic wires (13) are part of a strip (3) of conductive wires. After having proceeded to a notch of the fabric along the planes (20, 21) parallel to the weft, we have cut the polyester chain threads (4) located in this region.
- This notch (22) can be made by an appropriate tool or even not be physically materialized, but simply result from the traction which will be carried out by the operator.
- This zone contains the portions of wires of polyester (4) which were previously cut when making the notches (20, 21).
- the various metallic wires (13) are then visible at the edge of the fabric, and the operator just has to put them together to put them in place in the appropriate connectors. The connection of the strip (3) of metal wires (13) is thus assured.
- the power source (26) can see its upper terminal connected to the terminals of the metal wires (3a, 3c, 3e), while its lower terminal is connected to the bands (3b, 3d). In other words, all segments of carbon wires located between two strips (3) of metal wires are subjected to the source supply voltage (26).
- the power source (27) has its upper terminal connected to the bands (3a, 3e) of the fabric, while its lower terminal is connected to the strip (3c) of the fabric.
- the carbon wire segments are subjected to potential difference equal to half that of the previous configuration.
- the same logic can be applied with the configuration of the source supply (28) illustrated in Figure 5c.
- the power source (28) is connected by its positive terminal to the band (3a) and its negative terminal to the band (3e).
- the tension imposed on the carbon wires is worth a quarter of that of configuration (26), which results in a power dissipated sixteen times lower.
- the wiring diagram of the different metal strips (3) can be adapted according to the desired dissipation power, in determining the length of the carbon threads required, and therefore the multiple of the distance D to obtain the dissipation of the desired power.
- This wiring can also be variable inside the fabric, to focus energy dissipation in specific areas.
- this wiring can be adapted according to the voltage nominal of the sources (26-28) used.
- a supply voltage of 12 volts may be sufficient. It's about then applications allowing a slight warming of the fabric in order to elimination of the condensation present on it when used for make marquee tents or other similar constructions.
- a 24 volt supply will quadruple the dissipated power per unit area. So, with 400 watt dissipation per square meter, the fabric can be used to make roofs or hangings superior able to withstand snow. In this case, the heating will allow to ensure a slight melting of the snow. This merger will be controlled, so that water accumulations will be avoided when the snow melts, thanks to a control the areas in which the snow will melt first.
- the fabric can then be used for heating applications, for example example for forming heated partitions or ceilings.
- the fabric according to the invention has multiple applications thanks to on the one hand to its matrix structure, on the other hand to its great ease of connection.
- this fabric can be used for multiple heating applications, in particular exterior walls of a building, as well as interior walls of the partition type or other. It can also be used for heating functions in all kinds of articles suitable for being covered with a textile. It can also be accessories used in the home such as blinds.
- this fabric can also be used for anti-static applications, and especially in areas where it is necessary to perform dust extraction such as industries mining, or automotive or railway tunnels, or even in the electronics industry.

Abstract
Description
L'invention se rattache au domaine des textiles techniques, et plus précisément aux textiles conducteurs de l'électricité. Elle trouve des applications multiples, et notamment dans la réalisation de bâches de camion, d'éléments de toiture souple ou encore d'ameublement ou d'aménagement intérieur. Elle concerne plus particulièrement un tissu chauffant incorporant des fils métalliques et de carbone qui permettent un chauffage par une alimentation « basse tension », et qui est par construction très facilement configurable à tout motif de géométrie, et à différentes puissances surfacique de chauffe.The invention relates to the field of technical textiles, and more precisely to electrically conductive textiles. She finds applications multiple, and in particular in the production of truck tarpaulins, flexible roofing or even furnishing or interior fittings. It relates to more particularly a heating fabric incorporating metallic wires and carbon which allow heating by a “low voltage” power supply, and which is by construction very easily configurable to any geometry pattern, and to different surface heating powers.
De façon connue, les textiles conducteurs de l'électricité sont constitués d'un tissu élémentaire support incorporant en chaíne et/ou en trame des fils de cuivre ou plus généralement des fils métalliques. La présence de ces fils confère à la structure des tissus une certaine conductivité électrique en permettant de multiples utilisations, et notamment pour constituer des tissus chauffants.In known manner, electrically conductive textiles consist of a elementary support fabric incorporating in the warp and / or weft copper wires or more generally metal wires. The presence of these sons gives the tissue structure some electrical conductivity allowing for multiple uses, and in particular for constituting heating fabrics.
L'objectif de l'invention est de fournir un tissu qui présente des propriétés électriques optimales et continues sur la surface du tissu.The objective of the invention is to provide a fabric which has properties electric and continuous on the surface of the fabric.
De très nombreuses solutions ont déjà été proposées pour intégrer un tel fil conducteur à l'intérieur d'un tissu.Many solutions have already been proposed to integrate such a thread conductor inside a fabric.
Ainsi, dans le document FR 2 340 016, on a décrit un tissu conducteur
incluant parmi ses fils de trame, des fils conducteurs de l'électricité. Ces fils de
trame sont reliés électriquement en parallèles par deux fils de chaíne conducteurs
situés de chaque côté du tissu.Thus, in the
On conçoit que ce genre de tissu présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients. En effet, lorsque l'on souhaite réaliser des tissus présentant une largeur suffisante, il est nécessaire de soumettre les fils de trame à une tension relativement importante, généralement égale à la tension réseau 220 volts alternatifs. L'emploi d'une telle tension pose des problèmes de sécurité électrique, et notamment en ce qui concerne les risques de contact par des personnes. Cette tension électrique importante est également nécessaire compte tenu de la médiocrité des connexions existant entre les fils de chaíne formant électrode, et les fils de trame conducteurs.It is understood that this kind of fabric has a number of drawbacks. When you want to make fabrics with sufficient width, it is necessary to subject the weft threads to a relatively tension important, generally equal to the 220 volts AC mains voltage. employment such a voltage poses electrical safety problems, and in particular in that which concerns the risks of contact by people. This electrical voltage important is also necessary given the poor connections existing between the electrode chain son, and the conductive weft son.
Un autre exemple d'un tel tissu a également été décrit dans le document
FR 2 263 658. Dans ce cas, la mise en parallèle des différents fils conducteurs se
fait par l'emploi d'un feuillard de cuivre disposé dans les lisières du tissu.
L'emploi de ces feuillards présente deux inconvénients majeurs. D'une part, de tels
feuillards en cuivre sont relativement rigides et empêchent de conformer le tissu
très simplement. D'autre part, la connexion entre le feuillard et les fils conducteurs
est relativement médiocre, et oblige donc l'emploi d'une tension élevée, c'est-à-dire
en pratique la tension de réseau 220 volts, induisant un courant très faible plus
compatible avec une telle qualité de connexion. Les inconvénients de l'emploi
d'une tension élevée sont les mêmes que ceux indiqués précédemment.Another example of such a fabric has also been described in the
En outre, la puissance dissipée par unité de surface, pour un tissu de dimensions données, est uniquement fonction de la tension appliquée. En d'autres termes, il n'est pas possible d'adapter la puissance dissipée en fonction de l'application souhaitée.In addition, the power dissipated per unit area, for a fabric of given dimensions, is only a function of the applied voltage. In others terms, it is not possible to adapt the dissipated power according to the desired application.
L'objectif de la présente invention est de fournir un tissu conducteur qui puisse être employé avec des tensions d'alimentation du type « basse tension », c'est-à-dire comprise dans la gamme classique allant de 12 volts à 48 volts. Un autre objectif est de permettre une grande modularité de manière à assurer une dissipation d'énergie par unité de surface qui soit configurable par l'utilisateur de façon très aisée.The objective of the present invention is to provide a conductive fabric which can be used with supply voltages of the "low voltage" type, that is to say, included in the conventional range from 12 volts to 48 volts. A another objective is to allow a great modularity so as to ensure a energy dissipation per unit area which is user configurable very easy way.
Un autre objectif est de fournir un tissu enduit dont l'enduction ne perturbe pas les propriétés de connexion entre les fils conducteurs.Another objective is to provide a coated fabric whose coating does not disturb not the connection properties between the conductive wires.
L'invention concerne donc un tissu qui possède des propriétés de conduction de l'électricité. The invention therefore relates to a fabric which has conduction properties. electricity.
Un tel tissu se caractérise en ce qu'il comporte
Autrement dit, ce tissu comporte, disposées de façon régulière, des bandes de fils de carbone qui assurent une dissipation d'énergie lorsqu'ils sont parcourus par un courant électrique. Ces bandes de fils de carbone sont reliées entre elles par des bandes de fils conducteurs tels que des fils métalliques, les bandes de fils métalliques servant de fils d'alimentation et d'amenée du courant à destination des fils de carbone. Ces bandes de fils d'alimentation sont nettement plus espacées les unes des autres que les bandes de fils de carbone.In other words, this fabric comprises, arranged in a regular manner, strips of carbon threads which ensure energy dissipation when traversed by an electric current. These strips of carbon threads are connected together by strips of conductive wires such as metallic wires, strips of wires of metal serving as supply and current leads to the carbon threads. These strips of power wires are much more spaced apart from each other as strips of carbon threads.
En utilisant deux matériaux de conductivité nettement différente, c'est-à-dire des fils de carbone présentant une résistivité nettement supérieure à celle des fils métalliques, l'essentiel de la chute de tension se fait aux bornes des fils de carbone, qui assurent donc une dissipation d'énergie très nettement supérieure à celle qui a lieu dans les fils métalliques transversaux.By using two materials of markedly different conductivity, i.e. carbon wires having a resistivity markedly higher than that of the wires metallic, most of the voltage drop takes place across the carbon wires, which therefore provide a much higher energy dissipation than that which has place in the transverse metal wires.
Le tissage des différents fils de la bande de fils de carbone avec les fils métalliques de la bande de fils d'alimentation assure un contact relativement important entre ces différents fils, et donc une connexion qui autorise le passage d'un courant important, et donc l'emploi du tissu en association avec des alimentations électriques basse tension, du type de 12 volts à 48 volts. The weaving of the different threads of the carbon thread strip with the threads metallic wire strip provides relatively contact important between these different wires, and therefore a connection that allows the passage of an important current, and therefore the use of the fabric in association with low voltage power supplies, from 12 volts to 48 volts.
En outre, la répartition des fils métalliques et des fils de carbone sur l'ensemble de la surface du tissu confère à ce dernier une structure matricielle grâce à laquelle il est possible d'alimenter en tension n'importe quelle longueur ou largeur de tissu, dès lors que cette largeur ou longueur est supérieure à la distance D séparant les bandes de fils métalliques.In addition, the distribution of metallic wires and carbon wires on the entire surface of the fabric gives it a matrix structure thanks to which it is possible to supply voltage to any length or fabric width, if this width or length is greater than the distance D separating the strips of metal wires.
Autrement dit, les fils d'alimentation sont suffisamment nombreux sur toute la largeur du tissu pour constituer deux électrodes pour n'importe quelle découpe de tissu.In other words, the supply wires are sufficiently numerous throughout the width of the fabric to form two electrodes for any cut tissue.
Du fait du tissage des fils métalliques et des fils de carbone, la pression exercée sur zone de contact entre ces différents fils est suffisante pour résister à la pression de la matière plastique qui est utilisée lors de l'opération d'enduction du tissu.Due to the weaving of metallic and carbon threads, the pressure exerted on the contact area between these different wires is sufficient to withstand the pressure of the plastic which is used during the coating operation of the tissue.
En pratique, les fils métalliques utilisés peuvent être des fils à base d'alliage de nickel, des fils d'aluminium, des fils en acier inoxydable, ou encore des fils recouverts d'une couche d'or.In practice, the metallic wires used can be alloy-based wires nickel, aluminum wires, stainless steel wires, or wires covered with a layer of gold.
On préférera par exemple utiliser des alliages de nickel pour sa bonne compatibilité avec la connectique généralement réalisée avec des alliages de cuivre. Compte tenu du très faible nombre de fils d'alimentation métalliques, l'emploi de matériaux relativement coûteux augmente de façon quasi insensible le prix de revient du tissu conforme à l'invention. On privilégiera donc les très bonnes qualités conductrices de certains métaux relativement coûteux.We prefer for example to use nickel alloys for its good compatibility with the connectors generally carried out with alloys of copper. Given the very small number of metallic supply wires, the use of relatively expensive materials increases almost insensitively the cost price of the fabric according to the invention. We will therefore favor the very good conductive qualities of certain relatively expensive metals.
Par ailleurs, les fils non conducteurs utilisés entre les fils métalliques peuvent avantageusement être des fils de polyester, utilisés pour leur bon comportement mécanique.Furthermore, the non-conductive wires used between the metallic wires can advantageously be polyester yarns, used for their good behavior mechanical.
D'autres métaux peuvent également être utilisés dès lors que leur résistivité est suffisamment faible, comparée avec celle des fils chauffants de carbone, et en tenant compte du rapport entre les distances d et D séparant les différentes bandes de fils de carbone et de fils d'alimentation métallique. Other metals can also be used if their resistivity is sufficiently low, compared with that of the carbon heating wires, and in taking into account the relationship between the distances d and D separating the different bands carbon wires and metallic power wires.
Dans une forme particulière, les couches de revêtement, et par exemple d'enduction, recouvrant les deux faces du tissu peuvent être différentes.In a particular form, the coating layers, and for example coating, covering the two sides of the fabric may be different.
De la sorte, on assure une dissipation de l'énergie qui est différente d'une face à l'autre du tissu, ce qui permet d'orienter le flux de chaleur dans une direction privilégiée. En pratique, on choisit des couches d'enduction qui possèdent des propriétés thermiques différentes, par exemple en utilisant des charges dans des proportions différentes d'une face à l'autre.In this way, we ensure a dissipation of energy which is different from a facing the other side of the fabric, which helps direct the heat flow in a privileged direction. In practice, we choose coating layers that have different thermal properties, for example using fillers in different proportions from one side to the other.
Avantageusement en pratique, la distance d séparant les bandes de fils de carbone peut être comprise entre 1 et 10 centimètres, la distance séparant les bandes de fils métalliques étant alors comprise entre 20 centimètres et 2 mètres.Advantageously in practice, the distance d separating the strips of wires from carbon can be between 1 and 10 centimeters, the distance separating the metal wire bands then being between 20 centimeters and 2 meters.
Grâce à ces dimensions données à titre indicatives et non limitatives, il est possible de découper le tissu en conservant la possibilité d'une alimentation quelle que soit la forme générale de la découpe, dès lors qu'elle est supérieure à la dimension D séparant les rayures de fils métalliques.Thanks to these dimensions given for information and not limitation, it is possible to cut the fabric while retaining the possibility of feeding whatever whatever the general shape of the cut, as soon as it is greater than the dimension D separating the stripes of metal wires.
En pratique, l'alimentation peut s'obtenir en reliant différentes bandes de fils d'alimentation alternativement à une des deux bornes de la source d'alimentation électrique.In practice, power can be obtained by connecting different bands of wires alternately at one of the two terminals of the power source electric.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le tissu peut présenter sur ses lisières, et à l'endroit des extrémités des bandes de fils métalliques, des zones dans lesquelles les couches d'enduction sont éliminées. De la sorte, en réalisant une découpe perpendiculaire aux bandes de fils métalliques, au niveau de ces dernières, il suffit d'extraire les couches d'enduction en les faisant coulisser autour des fils métalliques en les tirant vers l'extérieur du tissu. On procéde ainsi de la même manière que l'on dénude un fil métallique gainé en dénudant la zone extrémale de la bande du fil métallique.According to another characteristic of the invention, the fabric can have on its selvedges, and at the ends of the strips of metal wire, areas in which the coating layers are removed. In this way, by performing a cutting perpendicular to the metal wire strips, at the level of the latter, just extract the coating layers by sliding them around the wires by pulling them out of the fabric. We do the same so that we strip a sheathed metal wire by stripping the extremal zone of the strip of metal wire.
Il s'ensuit que l'ensemble des fils métalliques ainsi dénudés peuvent être rassemblés pour être ensuite mis en place dans des bornes d'alimentation disposées sur les lisières du tissu. It follows that all of the metal wires thus stripped can be assembled to be then placed in supply terminals arranged on the edges of the fabric.
Ces bornes d'alimentation peuvent être disposées à l'extrémité de toutes ou partie des bornes métalliques, en fonction de la tension d'alimentation que l'on souhaite appliquer sur le tissu.These supply terminals can be arranged at the end of all or part of the metal terminals, depending on the supply voltage that wish to apply to the fabric.
Ainsi, en faisant varier le nombre de bandes de fils métalliques présents entre deux bornes d'alimentation électrique, on fait varier la puissance dissipée par unité de surface, ce qui permet d'adapter le tissu à différentes applications.Thus, by varying the number of strips of metal wires present between two power supply terminals, the power dissipated per unit is varied surface, which allows the fabric to be adapted to different applications.
La manière de réaliser l'invention ainsi que les avantages qui en découlent
ressortiront bien de la description du mode de réalisation qui suit, donné à titre
d'exemple non limitatif, à l'appui des figures annexées dans lesquelles :
Comme déjà évoqué, l'invention concerne un textile chauffant qui est réalisé par tissage, et qui incorpore deux types de fils conducteurs différents dans ces sens chaíne et trame.As already mentioned, the invention relates to a heating textile which is produced by weaving, and which incorporates two different types of conductive threads in these directions a chain and a frame.
Ainsi, et comme illustré à l'exemple de la figure 1, le tissu (1) comporte des bandes (2) de fils de carbone qui sont espacées d'une distance d. Ce tissu (1) comprend également des bandes (3) de fils métalliques.Thus, and as illustrated in the example of FIG. 1, the fabric (1) comprises strips (2) of carbon threads which are spaced apart by a distance d. This fabric (1) also includes strips (3) of metal wires.
Dans l'exemple illustré, les fils de carbone présentent un titre de 200 tex et comportent 200 fibres par fils. Chaque bande (2) comprend cinq fils de carbone de ce type. Les bandes (2) de fils de carbone sont espacées d'une distance d de 5 centimètres. In the example illustrated, the carbon threads have a titer of 200 tex and have 200 fibers per thread. Each strip (2) comprises five carbon threads of this guy. The strips (2) of carbon threads are spaced by a distance d of 5 centimeters.
Dans une variante de réalisation, on peut remplacer les fils de carbone par des fils ayant des propriétés électriques similaires, c'est-à-dire une résistivité supérieure aux fils d'alimentation. On peut citer par exemple des fils réalisés à partir des fibres métalliques, d'un diamètre de l'ordre du micromètre.In an alternative embodiment, the carbon wires can be replaced by wires with similar electrical properties, i.e. higher resistivity to the supply wires. Mention may for example be made of threads made from fibers metal, with a diameter of the order of a micrometer.
Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, les fils métalliques utilisés sont les fils de nickel pur de vingt centièmes de millimètres de diamètre. Chaque bande (3) de fils métalliques comprend dix fils de nickel, ce qui représente une largeur de bande de l'ordre du centimètre.In the example of FIG. 1, the metal wires used are the wires of pure nickel twenty hundredths of a millimeter in diameter. Each strip (3) of wire metal includes ten nickel wires, which represents a bandwidth of the order of the centimeter.
Les bandes (3) de fils métalliques sont distantes d'une distance D valant environ un mètre.The strips (3) of metal wires are spaced apart by a distance D equal to about a meter.
Compte tenu du fait que la résistivité du nickel est environ cent fois inférieure à celle du carbone, la chute de tension mesurée le long des fils d'alimentation d'une bande (3) est négligeable au regard de la chute de tension mesurée le long des fils de cuivre entre deux bandes (3) successives.Considering the fact that the resistivity of nickel is about a hundred times lower to that of carbon, the voltage drop measured along the supply wires of a strip (3) is negligible with regard to the voltage drop measured along copper wires between two successive bands (3).
C'est cette dernière chute de tension qui provoque l'échauffement des fils de cuivre et la dissipation d'énergie cherchée.It is this last drop in voltage which causes the wires of the copper and the dissipation of energy sought.
Les fils (4) utilisés pour le reste du tissu sont des fils non conducteurs, par exemple des fils de polyester haute ténacité classiques de 1100 dtex, 200 brins.The threads (4) used for the rest of the fabric are non-conductive threads, for example example of conventional high tenacity polyester yarns of 1100 dtex, 200 strands.
Bien entendu, les valeurs et les matériaux donnés ci-dessus le sont uniquement à titre d'exemple, et l'invention couvre de multiples variantes de réalisation qui s'en écartent.Of course, the values and materials given above are by way of example only, and the invention covers multiple variants of deviating from it.
Le tissage des fils métalliques (13, 14) avec des fils de carbone (12) tels qu'illustrés à la figure 2, procure un avantage en ce qui concerne la surface de contact entre ces différents fils. En effet, la zone de contact entre les fils de carbone (12) et les fils métalliques (13) s'étend sur une partie de la circonférence des fils de carbone (13), typiquement supérieure à un quart de cette circonférence. Les fils de carbone qui sont plus souples que les fils métalliques ont tendance à s'écraser, ce qui augmente considérablement la surface de contact. The weaving of metallic threads (13, 14) with carbon threads (12) such as illustrated in FIG. 2, provides an advantage as regards the surface of contact between these different wires. Indeed, the contact area between the carbon wires (12) and the metal wires (13) extends over part of the circumference of the wires carbon (13), typically greater than a quarter of this circumference. The sons of carbon which are more flexible than the metallic wires tend to crush, this which considerably increases the contact surface.
Cette importante surface de contact autorise le passage d'un courant
relativement élevé, tel que ceux utilisés pour des alimentations en basse tension du
type 12 à 48 volts.This large contact surface allows the passage of a current
relatively high, such as those used for low voltage power supplies of the
A la figure 2, on observe également la présence de la couche d'enduction (15, 16) qui recouvre les deux faces du tissu, empêchant ainsi tout risque de contact avec des zones sous tension. Dans la forme illustrée, les couches d'enduction (15, 16) sont identiques et réalisées par exemple en PVC. Néanmoins, comme déjà évoqué, ces couches (15, 16) peuvent être différentes de manière à influencer la direction du flux de chaleur libérée par les fils de carbone (12).In FIG. 2, the presence of the coating layer (15, 16) which covers both sides of the fabric, thus preventing any risk of contact with live areas. In the illustrated form, the coating layers (15, 16) are identical and made for example of PVC. However, as already mentioned, these layers (15, 16) can be different so as to influence the direction of the heat flow released by the carbon wires (12).
A titre d'exemple, lorsque le textile conforme à l'invention est utilisé en tant que couverture supérieure d'un bâtiment, et qu'il est destiné à assurer une fonte controlée des neiges, on privilégiera le flux de chaleur vers la face supérieure du tissu. Dans ce cas, la couche d'enduction (15) située sur la face supérieure du tissu présente une meilleure conductibilité thermique que la couche (16) située sur la face inférieure.By way of example, when the textile according to the invention is used as that top cover of a building, and that it is intended to ensure a melting snow control, we will favor the heat flow towards the upper face of the tissue. In this case, the coating layer (15) located on the upper side of the fabric has better thermal conductivity than the layer (16) located on the lower side.
De même, l'enduction utilisée peut être telle que ses propriétés de conduction de la chaleur varient sur la surface même d'une face du tissu. Ainsi, en modulant cette conductivité thermique, on peut uniformiser le flux de chaleur émis entre les zones comportant les fils de carbone, et les espaces situés entre ces bandes fils de carbone.Likewise, the coating used may be such that its conduction properties heat varies on the very surface of one side of the fabric. So by modulating this thermal conductivity, we can standardize the heat flow emitted between the zones comprising the carbon threads, and the spaces between these strips of carbon.
Une autre caractéristique de l'invention concerne la facilité avec laquelle le tissu conforme à l'invention peut être relié à l'alimentation électrique. Les figures 3 et 4 illustrent les manipulations nécessaires pour assurer la connexion du tissu à une source d'alimentation.Another characteristic of the invention relates to the ease with which the fabric according to the invention can be connected to the power supply. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate the manipulations necessary to ensure the connection of the tissue to a power source.
Ainsi, le tissu (1) présente sur sa lisière (5) différents fils de trame qui sont apparents au travers de la couche d'enduction (15). Parmi ces fils apparents, on identifie les fils de polyester (6) non conducteurs, et les fils métalliques (13). Ces fils métalliques (13) font partie d'une bande (3) de fils conducteurs. Après avoir procédé à une entaille du tissu selon les plans (20, 21) parallèles à la trame, on a découpé les fils de chaíne (4) en polyester situés dans cette région. Thus, the fabric (1) has on its selvedge (5) different weft threads which are visible through the coating layer (15). Among these apparent sons, one identifies nonconductive polyester yarns (6) and metallic yarns (13). These metallic wires (13) are part of a strip (3) of conductive wires. After having proceeded to a notch of the fabric along the planes (20, 21) parallel to the weft, we have cut the polyester chain threads (4) located in this region.
On procéde par la suite à une légère entaille (22) parallèle aux fils de chaíne pour délimiter la zone qui sera ensuite extraite. Cette entaille (22) peut être réalisée par un outil approprié ou bien encore ne pas être physiquement matérialisée, mais simplement résulter de la traction qui sera effectuée par l'opérateur.We then proceed to a slight notch (22) parallel to the chain son to delimit the area which will then be extracted. This notch (22) can be made by an appropriate tool or even not be physically materialized, but simply result from the traction which will be carried out by the operator.
Par la suite, l'opérateur exerce une traction sur la zone délimitée par les découpes (20, 21, 22). Cette zone (25) coulisse sur les fils métalliques (13), qui est ensuite extraite comme à la figure 4. Cette zone contient les portions de fils de polyester (4) qui ont été préalablement coupées lors de la réalisation des entailles (20, 21). Les différents fils métalliques (13) sont alors apparents en lisière du tissu, et il suffit à l'opérateur de les rassembler pour les mettre en place dans l'organe de connectique approprié. La connexion de la bande (3) de fils métalliques (13) est ainsi assurée.Thereafter, the operator pulls on the area delimited by the cutouts (20, 21, 22). This zone (25) slides on the metal wires (13), which is then extracted as in figure 4. This zone contains the portions of wires of polyester (4) which were previously cut when making the notches (20, 21). The various metallic wires (13) are then visible at the edge of the fabric, and the operator just has to put them together to put them in place in the appropriate connectors. The connection of the strip (3) of metal wires (13) is thus assured.
Bien entendu, l'opérateur choisit selon la configuration du tissu et la tension d'alimentation les bandes (3) qui doivent être ainsi dénudées.Of course, the operator chooses according to the configuration of the fabric and the tension supply the strips (3) which must be thus stripped.
Ainsi, différentes configurations d'alimentation peuvent être utilisées.Thus, different power configurations can be used.
Ainsi, comme illustré à la figure Sa, la source d'alimentation (26) peut voir sa borne supérieure reliée aux bornes des fils métalliques (3a, 3c, 3e), alors que sa borne inférieure est reliée aux bandes (3b, 3d). Autrement dit, tous les segments de fils de carbone situés entre deux bandes (3) de fils métalliques sont soumis à la tension d'alimentation de la source (26).Thus, as illustrated in FIG. Sa, the power source (26) can see its upper terminal connected to the terminals of the metal wires (3a, 3c, 3e), while its lower terminal is connected to the bands (3b, 3d). In other words, all segments of carbon wires located between two strips (3) of metal wires are subjected to the source supply voltage (26).
Dans l'autre configuration illustrée à la figure 5b, la source d'alimentation (27) présente sa borne supérieure reliée aux bandes (3a, 3e) du tissu, tandis que sa borne inférieure est reliée à la bande (3c) du tissu. Dans ce cas, et à tension d'alimentation constante, les segments de fils de carbone sont soumis à une différence de potentiel égale à la moitié de celle de la configuration précédente.In the other configuration illustrated in FIG. 5b, the power source (27) has its upper terminal connected to the bands (3a, 3e) of the fabric, while its lower terminal is connected to the strip (3c) of the fabric. In this case, and at voltage constant supply, the carbon wire segments are subjected to potential difference equal to half that of the previous configuration.
Il s'ensuit que la chaleur dégagée par l'unité de surface est égale au quart de celle qui est dissipée dans le cas de la configuration de la source d'alimentation (26). It follows that the heat given off by the surface unit is equal to a quarter of that which is dissipated in the case of the configuration of the power source (26).
La même logique peut être déclinée avec la configuration de la source d'alimentation (28) illustrée à la figure 5c. Dans ce cas, la source d'alimentation (28) est reliée par sa borne positive à la bande (3a) et à sa borne négative à la bande (3e). A source équivalente, la tension imposée aux fils de carbone vaut le quart de celle de la configuration (26), ce qui se traduit par une puissance dissipée seize fois inférieure.The same logic can be applied with the configuration of the source supply (28) illustrated in Figure 5c. In this case, the power source (28) is connected by its positive terminal to the band (3a) and its negative terminal to the band (3e). From an equivalent source, the tension imposed on the carbon wires is worth a quarter of that of configuration (26), which results in a power dissipated sixteen times lower.
Bien entendu, le schéma de câblage des différentes bandes métalliques (3) peut être adapté en fonction de la puissance de dissipation recherchée, en déterminant la longueur des fils de carbone nécessaire, et donc le multiple de la distance D pour obtenir la dissipation de la puissance souhaitée.Of course, the wiring diagram of the different metal strips (3) can be adapted according to the desired dissipation power, in determining the length of the carbon threads required, and therefore the multiple of the distance D to obtain the dissipation of the desired power.
Ce câblage peut également être variable à l'intérieur même du tissu, pour concentrer la dissipation d'énergie dans certaines zones particulières.This wiring can also be variable inside the fabric, to focus energy dissipation in specific areas.
De la même manière, ce câblage peut être adapté en fonction de la tension nominale des sources (26-28) utilisées.In the same way, this wiring can be adapted according to the voltage nominal of the sources (26-28) used.
Ainsi, à titre d'exemple, pour une puissance à dissiper de l'ordre de 100 watts par mètre carré, une tension d'alimentation de 12 volts peut être suffisante. Il s'agit alors d'applications permettant un léger réchauffement du tissu en vue de l'élimination de la condensation présente sur celui-ci lorsqu'il est utilisé pour réaliser des tentes de chapiteau ou autres constructions analogues.Thus, by way of example, for a power to be dissipated of the order of 100 watts per square meter, a supply voltage of 12 volts may be sufficient. It's about then applications allowing a slight warming of the fabric in order to elimination of the condensation present on it when used for make marquee tents or other similar constructions.
Pour un schéma de câblage, une alimentation en 24 volts quadruplera la puissance dissipée par unité de surface. Ainsi, avec une dissipation de 400 watts par mètre carré, le tissu pourra être utilisé pour réaliser des toits ou des tentures supérieures aptes à supporter la neige. Dans ce cas, le chauffage permettra d'assurer une légère fusion de la neige. Cette fusion sera controlée, de sorte que l'on évitera les accumulations d'eau lors de la fonte des neiges, grâce à une maítrise des zones dans lesquelles la neige fondera en premier.For a wiring diagram, a 24 volt supply will quadruple the dissipated power per unit area. So, with 400 watt dissipation per square meter, the fabric can be used to make roofs or hangings superior able to withstand snow. In this case, the heating will allow to ensure a slight melting of the snow. This merger will be controlled, so that water accumulations will be avoided when the snow melts, thanks to a control the areas in which the snow will melt first.
Lorsque le même schéma de configuration est utilisé avec une source d'alimentation en 48 volts, correspond donc à une dissipation de 1 600 watts par mètre carré, le tissu pourra alors être utilisé pour des applications de chauffage, par exemple pour former des cloisons ou des plafonds chauffants. When the same layout design is used with a source 48 volt power supply, therefore corresponds to a dissipation of 1600 watts per square meter, the fabric can then be used for heating applications, for example example for forming heated partitions or ceilings.
Il ressort de ce qui précède que le tissu conforme à l'invention présente de
multiples avantages et notamment :
Le tissu conforme à l'invention présente de multiples applications grâce d'une part à sa structure matricielle, d'autre part à sa grande facilité de connexion.The fabric according to the invention has multiple applications thanks to on the one hand to its matrix structure, on the other hand to its great ease of connection.
Ainsi, ce tissu peut être utilisé pour de multiples applications de chauffage, en parois extérieures de bâtiment, ainsi qu'en parois intérieures du type cloison ou autres. Il peut également être utilisé pour des fonctions de chauffage dans toutes sortes d'articles aptes à être revêtus d'un textile. Il peut également s'agir d'accessoires utilisés dans l'habitat tels que des stores.Thus, this fabric can be used for multiple heating applications, in particular exterior walls of a building, as well as interior walls of the partition type or other. It can also be used for heating functions in all kinds of articles suitable for being covered with a textile. It can also be accessories used in the home such as blinds.
Grâce à ses excellentes qualités électriques, ce tissu peut également être utilisé pour des applications anti-statiques, et notamment dans des domaines où il est nécessaire d'effectuer des extractions de poussières telles que les industries minières, ou les tunnels automobiles ou ferroviaires, ou bien encore dans l'industrie de l'électronique.Thanks to its excellent electrical qualities, this fabric can also be used for anti-static applications, and especially in areas where it is necessary to perform dust extraction such as industries mining, or automotive or railway tunnels, or even in the electronics industry.
Il peut également être utilisé pour équiper des bâtiments de manière à leur conférer des propriétés de cage de Faraday.It can also be used to equip buildings so that they confer Faraday cage properties.
