Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for recovery including a used fluid recovery container, in particular from a vehicle, and a first hose fitted to one of its ends of a first nozzle arranged to mate with an orifice evacuation of a circuit containing the used fluid.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an assembly which ensures the integrity of the used fluid, recovered not only during of the sample but also during its temporary storage, in order to allow possible repackaging under conditions economically acceptable.
  • a recovery device characterized in that it comprises a closed enclosure in which said container is located, the first pipe being connected to the other end at a first orifice leading to said container, the container also being provided with an evacuation means for emptying using a closed circuit the used fluid.
  • Said device therefore makes it possible to recover the used fluid thanks to the connection of the first nozzle to the discharge port of the circuit containing the used fluid to be recycled which allows the used fluid to end up in the container without anyone having access to it.
  • the operation fluid flow is then done either by gravity or by pressure on the circuit containing the fluid, either by suction of the fluid via a pump.
  • a once the container is filled, the operator can empty the full container, for example towards a tank.
  • This emptying, carried out in a closed circuit can be done either by sucking the used liquid towards the tank, either by introducing a pressure to inside the container so as to cause the discharge of the used fluid to the tank or by letting the liquid flow by gravity to the tank. In all cases, the emptying will be carried out in a closed circuit towards the tank, this which prevents the used liquid from being contaminated and therefore makes it easily reusable.
  • said first pipe includes, at the end opposite the first end piece, a second end piece arranged to be locked on the first orifice leading to the container, this first orifice being provided with a shutter device intended to block access to the container when the second nozzle is not locked on the first port.
  • This embodiment makes it possible to carry out the recovery of the used fluid by locking the second nozzle on the first hole which causes the shutter to disengage and allows the flow of the used fluid towards the canister.
  • the shutter device of the first orifice leading to the container is triggered, prohibiting access to the contents of the container. This configuration therefore allows guarantee the integrity of the waste thus recovered since it makes it impossible any external contamination.
  • the recovery device is characterized in that it comprises means outlet provided with an inlet arranged to be connected to a source of compressed fluid, the compressed fluid being intended to push the waste fluid from said container to a drain opening of said container.
  • This arrangement makes it possible to introduce a compressed fluid inside the can of so as to expel the used fluid through an opening in the container. So the emptying will be accelerated by the pressure of the compressed fluid on the fluid use.
  • the recovery device may include recovery means provided with a second pipe arranged to be tuned, by one of its end, to a tank for used fluid and the other end having a third nozzle, arranged to be locked on said container.
  • this second hose can be used only for emptying
  • the hose can for example be connected to a tank orifice also having a closure device by a nozzle specific, or be connected in a sealed manner to the tank. So the emptying used fluid takes place in a closed circuit so as to guarantee the integrity of the used fluid to be recycled.
  • the recovery according to the invention comprises a can 1, for example a barrel 200 liters, located in a closed enclosure 15, provided with a first port 2 and optionally an inlet for compressed fluid 3, each provided with a shutter device 4 and 5 intended to block access to the can of hermetically in case of non-supply of fluid.
  • the set includes also a first pipe 6 provided at one of its ends with a first nozzle 7 arranged to mate with a discharge opening of a circuit containing the used fluid and at the other end of a second nozzle 8 arranged to be locked on the first port.
  • the first pipe 6 can also be permanently connected to container 1. In the latter case, it is permanently attached to the first port. These tips can possibly be crimped on the pipe so as to produce an element unibloc.
  • the pipe could possibly be fitted with a flow meter 9 to control the total amount of fluid flowing through the hose to the container to prevent overflow of the container.
  • This recovery device makes it possible to carry out the maintenance of the circuits containing the used fluid while protecting the integrity of waste as illustrated in figure 2.
  • the operator couples in a first time the first nozzle 7 of the first pipe on the orifice evacuation of a circuit containing the used fluid, in this case, the orifice for removing the coolant from an explosion engine.
  • the operator locks the second nozzle 8 of the first pipe on the first port 2 leading to the empty or partially filled container. This locking causes disengagement of the shutter 4, which allows the fluid to end up in the container without being able to access it.
  • the used fluid in this case flows by gravity. In order to facilitate this It is possible to place a pressure pump on the circuit to push the fluid towards the container or even place a vacuum pump on the canister to suck the used fluid towards the canister.
  • the operator can, knowing the maximum capacity of the container and reading the flow meter, calculate the filling rate of said container and thus prevent the liquid used remains blocked in hose 6.
  • an electronic device or mechanic can either warn the maintenance operator that he must drain full container either order a valve, placed on the pipe or on the first orifice, which will cut the filling of the container.
  • the can can also be fitted with a 16 gauge indicating the liquid level used in this can.
  • the operator can unlock the second nozzle from the first orifice of said full container.
  • the shutter device of the first opening of the full container snaps into place, preventing access to the contents of the phony and thus protecting the integrity of the content.
  • the removal waste of used fluid, stored in the can can be done in circuit closed, as illustrated in figure 3. This is achieved by locking a third end piece 18 of a second pipe 17, connected to a movable tank 21, on the first orifice provided with a shutter device.
  • This mobile tank is intended to take the used fluid to the recycling plant or storage. So the recovery device can be connected via this second hose to a tank for used fluid without passing through the first pipe.
  • Each pipe can then have its own specificities such as the type of nozzle, the length of the hose, the thickness of the hose.
  • a fourth end piece 12 of a third pipe 13, connected to an air source compressed can be connected to input 3 for compressed fluid.
  • the inlet for compressed fluid can be provided a system allowing only the passage of a compressed gas making difficult passage of uncompressed liquid or gas (i.e. from of a predetermined pressure).
  • this inlet for compressed fluid can also be provided with a shutter system intended to prevent access to the container when the supply of compressed fluid is not blocked.
  • the evacuation means for draining the used fluid in a closed circuit, includes a second pipe arranged to be connected at one end from said pipe to a tank for used fluid and provided at the other end with a third tip.
  • This third nozzle is designed to be locked on a second orifice 19 having a shutter device intended to block access to the container when the third nozzle is not locked.
  • the device for recovery may include a valve device 20 allowing, independently of the shutter systems, to seal tightly selectively accessing either the first port or the second port.
  • the actuating handle 22 of the valve when the actuating handle 22 of the valve is in drain position, it blocks all access via the first port (even when the second nozzle is attached to the first port) and opens the access for the second orifice, the latter keeping its access blocked as long as the third nozzle is not locked on the second port.
  • valve 23 in the filling position, the valve in this position allows access via the first port and prohibited access via the second. Then, the operator locks the third nozzle on the second orifice 19, which opens access to the shutter at the level of the shutter can. The operator then places the actuation handle 22 of the device valve in drain position which blocks access to the container via the first orifice by closing the valve 23 and allows passage via the second orifice 19 by opening the valve 24. It is then possible via the inlet of compressed fluid introduce compressed air into the container which will push the used liquid contained in the container to drain via the second orifice through the second pipe to the used fluid tank.
  • This system therefore allows greater flexibility of use since the operator is no longer obliged to unlock the end caps of the orifices to carry out one or other of the operations of recovery or emptying.
  • the recovery device can be used in a process allowing the replacement of used coolant in a cooling.
  • an opening is made, at a location of the circuit, in this case between the radiator and the engine block.
  • the opening creates an inlet 10 for supplying new fluid and a discharge port 11 for the used fluid.
  • the operator locks, in a first time, the second end of the first pipe on the first port from the can. This locking causes the shutter to disengage, which which allows access to said container. Once this locking is done, the two elements may be sealed so as to prevent the unlocking of the second tip on the first port.
  • the operator couples the first end of the first pipe to the orifice evacuation of said circuit.
  • the operator then couples, in a third time, a fifth nozzle 25, located at the end of a fourth pipe 26, on the inlet for supplying the new fluid, this fourth pipe being connected to a source 14 containing the new fluid, for example a tank placed in the maintenance room.
  • the operator operates, in a fourth time, the pumping of the new fluid from said source via the fourth pipe to the circuit, said new fluid pushing, through the circuit, the used fluid, to the container via the first pipe.
  • The can being provided with an air passage intended to balance the pressure in the container, when of its filling.
  • flow meters placed on the first and second hoses measure both the amount of new fluid introduced into the circuit and the quantity of used fluid discharged from the circuit.
  • This system allows you to correlate the two quantities again introduced fluid and used fluid evacuated which facilitates control over the nature of the contents of the container. Indeed, in the case of filling the first container via the first hose with another liquid waste, both flowmeter measurements will no longer be correlated since a first amount of new liquid will pass through the second pipe while a quantity, substantially identical to the first quantity, of used liquid will pass through the first pipe plus the amount of the other waste liquid.
