Description

La présente invention concerne un robinet inviolable pour un contenant rempli d'un produit liquide, par exemple alimentaire ou chimique.The present invention relates to a tap tamper proof for a container filled with a product liquid, for example food or chemical.

Le robinet inviolable selon la présente invention comporte au niveau de sa sortie au travers du conduit de sortie une paroi d'obturation et d'inviolabilité extractible formée d'une seule pièce avec le corps du robinet au moment de sa fabrication par moulage.The tamper-proof valve according to this invention has at its output through of the outlet duct a shutter wall and Extractable tamper evident in one piece with the valve body at the time of manufacture by molding.

Pour le transport des conteneurs chimiques, les normes de sécurité sont draconiennes afin d'éviter tout risque de déversement ou de fuite de produit chimique toxique ou dangereux au cours du transport. Ainsi, il est nécessaire que les conteneurs soient hermétiquement fermés et protégés des chocs. Leur robinet ou autre dispositif de soutirage ne doit pas être en saillie mais en retrait par rapport à la paroi externe du contenant afin qu'il ne puisse pas être arraché ou ouvert lors d'un choc éventuel.For the transport of chemical containers, safety standards are draconian in order to avoid any risk of spilling or leakage of product toxic or dangerous chemical during transport. Thus, it is necessary that the containers are hermetically sealed and protected from shocks. Their tap or other draw-off device must not protrude but recessed from the wall external container so that it can not be snatched or opened during a possible shock.

De plus, afin d'éviter tout risque de fuite ou d'ouverture accidentelle au niveau du robinet, ces derniers sont fermés par un dispositif d'obturation classique, par exemple à clapet ou à papillon, et doivent comporter en outre une double sécurité. De manière classique, ces robinets sont ainsi munis à leur extrémité de sortie d'un opercule métallique d'inviolabilité recouvert d'un bouchon vissé pouvant comporter lui aussi une bague frangible d'inviolabilité.In addition, to avoid any risk of leakage or accidental opening at the tap, these the last are closed by a shutter classic, for example flapper or butterfly, and must also include double security. Of conventionally, these faucets are thus equipped with their outlet end of a metal seal tamper evident covered with a screw cap also have a frangible ring inviolability.

Lors de la première utilisation d'un conteneur équipé d'un tel robinet, le bouchon de protection doit être retiré en le dévissant, puis l'opercule doit être fracturé pour libérer la section de sortie. En général, il s'agit d'une feuille épaisse en aluminium solidarisée de manière étanche aux bords de l'ouverture du robinet par thermosoudage. Il est de fait impossible d'enlever proprement et complètement cet opercule. On utilise généralement un outil pointu par exemple un tournevis souvent à portée de main, afin de le déchirer et de ménager ainsi un passage pour permettre la sortie du liquide.When first using a container equipped with such a tap, the plug of protection must be removed by unscrewing it, then the operculum must be fractured to release the section Release. In general, it is a thick sheet made of aluminum, sealed to the edges the valve opening by heat sealing. He's from makes it impossible to cleanly and completely remove this operculum. We usually use a sharp tool for example a screwdriver often at hand, in order to tear it apart and thus provide a passage to allow the exit of the liquid.

Le déchirement de l'opercule est difficile en raison de son épaisseur et peut comporter des risques car il nécessite de forcer une ouverture à l'aide d'un outil pointu pouvant occasionner des blessures graves en cas de maladresse.The tearing of the operculum is difficult in because of its thickness and may carry risks because it requires forcing an opening with the help of a sharp tool that can cause serious injury in case of clumsiness.

De plus, lors du déchirement de l'opercule, des lambeaux d'aluminium se retrouvent au niveau de l'extrémité de sortie du robinet ce qui peut générer des risques de contamination du produit chimique contenu dans le conteneur lorsque celui-ci s'écoule à travers l'extrémité du robinet.Moreover, during the tearing of the operculum, shreds of aluminum are found at the level of the outlet end of the faucet what can generate risks of contamination of the chemical contained in the container when it flows to through the end of the faucet.

En outre, l'opercule n'étant pas proprement et complètement enlevé mais simplement crevé, il reste des morceaux disparates d'opercule toujours solidaires du bord de l'ouverture de sortie et qui occupent une partie de sa section Ces morceaux perturbent le flux de manière particulièrement gênante lors du soutirage du produit chimique présent dans le conteneur.In addition, the operculum not being properly and completely removed but simply punctured, it remains disparate pieces of operculum always solidarity from the edge of the exit opening and occupying a part of its section These pieces disrupt the flow particularly troublesome when racking of the chemical present in the container.

Ces restes d'opercule peuvent également être sujets à des dépôts d'impuretés et de produits qui peuvent s'altérer à l'air ou moisir avec le temps ou à des dépôts de saletés qui s'incrustent. Ces éléments présents à la sortie du robinet peuvent à leur tour générer des problèmes de contamination du produit chimique contenu dans le conteneur lorsque celui-ci s'écoule à travers l'extrémité du robinet.These operculum remains can also be subject to deposits of impurities and products that may become altered in the air or mold over time or deposits of dirt that become encrusted. These elements present at the outlet of the tap may in turn generate product contamination problems chemical content in the container when it flows through the end of the faucet.

Le but de l'invention est de fournir un robinet de cuve ou de conteneur par exemple alimentaire ou chimique comportant une obturation d'inviolabilité au niveau de son extrémité, qui puisse être retirée entièrement et d'un seul tenant de manière propre, aisée, rapide et sans danger. Avantageusement, la fabrication d'une telle obturation d'inviolabilité sera facile et peu coûteuse.The object of the invention is to provide a container or container tap for example food or chemical with a filling inviolability at the end, which may be removed entirely and in one piece from clean, easy, fast and safe. Advantageously, the manufacture of such a shutter tamper proof will be easy and inexpensive.

Pour résoudre ce problème technique, la paroi transversale d'obturation et d'inviolabilité est moulée d'une seule pièce avec au moins l'extrémité ou tout le corps du robinet de cuve ou conteneur chimique. Elle est extractible, préférentiellement d'un seul tenant, par brisure de sa liaison périphérique avec les parois de la chambre de sortie du robinet par un simple mouvement de traction sur une languette solidaire de son corps. Avantageusement, ceci libère alors entièrement l'ouverture de l'extrémité du robinet.To solve this technical problem, the wall transverse sealing and tamper evident is molded in one piece with at least the end or the whole body of the tank tap or container chemical. It is extractable, preferentially in one piece, by breaking its bond peripheral with the walls of the exit chamber of the tap by a simple pulling motion on a tongue attached to his body. advantageously, this then completely frees the opening of the end of the faucet.

En effet, la liaison périphérique est réalisée sous la forme d'une ligne d'affaiblissement située à proximité immédiate du pourtour intérieur de l'extrémité du robinet. Avantageusement, la paroi d'obturation comporte une languette sur sa face externe qui permet son retrait. Celui-ci se réalise en tirant simplement sur la languette à l'aide d'un outil du type pince ou autre ne présentant aucun danger pour l'utilisateur. La liaison de raccordement se déchire rapidement, entièrement et proprement et libère la section de passage précédemment occupée par la paroi transversale d'obturation sans laisser de débris dans la sortie du robinet.Indeed, the peripheral link is realized in the form of a weakening line located in the immediate vicinity of the inner perimeter of the end of the faucet. Advantageously, the wall shutter has a tongue on its face external which allows its withdrawal. It is realized in simply pulling on the tongue using a tool pincer type or other type presenting no danger for the user. The connection link is torn quickly, completely and cleanly and releases the passage section previously occupied by the wall transverse shutter without leaving debris in the exit of the tap.

Etant moulée d'une seule pièce avec le corps du robinet ou avec la partie d'extrémité avant de celui-ci, la paroi d'obturation est présente dès la fabrication du robinet et permet de se dispenser du thermosoudage d'un opercule sur l'ouverture du robinet. La fabrication du robinet en est ainsi simplifiée.Being molded in one piece with the body tap or with the front end part of this one, the shutter wall is present from the faucet manufacturing and makes it possible to dispense heat sealing of a lid on the opening of the tap. The manufacture of the tap is thus simplified.

L'utilisation préférentielle d'une matière plastique, avantageusement identique à celle constituant le corps de robinet, pour la réalisation de l'opercule permet d'éviter tout problème d'incompatibilité et de contamination, simplifie sa fabrication et permet d'obtenir un robinet à prix de revient limité.The preferential use of a material plastic, advantageously identical to that constituting the valve body, for the realization of the operculum avoids any problem incompatibility and contamination, simplifies its manufacture and allows to get a faucet at a price of returns limited.

La présente invention se rapporte à un robinet inviolable pour un contenant de liquide dont le contenu peut présenter un caractère dangereux.The present invention relates to a tamper-proof valve for a liquid container the content may be dangerous.

Parmi les contenants connus, l'invention vise ceux connus sous le nom de conteneurs notamment ceux de grande capacité, destinés à renfermer des produits alimentaires, agroalimentaires, chimiques, pharmaceutiques, cosmétiques, biologiques..., et plus généralement tout produit industriel.Among the known containers, the invention aims to those known as containers including those large capacity, intended to enclose products food, agri-food, chemical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, organic ..., and more generally any industrial product.

Le robinet selon l'invention va maintenant être décrit en référence aux figures 1 à 7, mais la description portera plus en détail sur la paroi d'obturation. Les éléments équivalents représentés sur les différentes figures porteront les mêmes références numériques.The faucet according to the invention will now described with reference to Figures 1 to 7, but the description will bring more detail to the wall shutter. Equivalent elements represented on the different figures will bear the same references digital.

Le robinet 1 représenté dans son ensemble sur les figures 1 à 7 se compose d'un corps 2 de préférence en matière synthétique telle que du polyéthylène, réalisé par moulage notamment par injection. Ce corps de robinet 2 peut être d'une seule pièce ou en plusieurs parties assemblées ou solidarisées.The tap 1 represented as a whole on Figures 1 to 7 consists of a body 2 of preferably of synthetic material such as polyethylene, produced by molding in particular by injection. This valve body 2 can be of one piece or in several parts assembled or secured.

Le corps de robinet peut être décomposé en trois zones de fonctionnement, qui se suivent d'un seul tenant ou peuvent constituer trois pièces indépendantes : une partie de raccordement 3 du robinet sur le contenant de liquide, une partie centrale d'étanchéité 4 avec un système de fermeture/ouverture 5 par exemple de type clapet ou vanne et une partie terminale ou extrémité de sortie 6 dans laquelle une paroi d'obturation 7 est moulée.The faucet body can be broken down into three operating zones, which follow one another alone or can constitute three pieces independent: a connecting part 3 of the tap on the liquid container, a part central sealing 4 with a system of closing / opening 5 for example valve type or valve and a terminal part or outlet end 6 wherein a closure wall 7 is molded.

Le corps 2 du robinet se prolonge vers le haut par une poignée de manoeuvre 8 en ouverture et en fermeture pouvant avantageusement comporter son propre moyen de sécurisation afin d'éviter toute manoeuvre intempestive ou malveillante, ce moyen pouvant prendre la forme d'un sceau d'inviolabilité, d'une bague de rupture, d'un verrouillage mécanique ou de tout autre moyen adapté.The body 2 of the tap is extended towards the up by a maneuvering handle 8 in opening and in closure can advantageously include its own means of security in order to avoid any maneuver untimely or malicious, this means may take the shape of a seal of inviolability, a ring of breakage, mechanical lock or any other adapted way.

Selon une variante avantageuse, la poignée 8 coopère avec une série de crans 9 situés sur le haut du corps de robinet 2, permettant son blocage en position fermée.According to an advantageous variant, the handle 8 cooperates with a series of notches 9 located on the top of the valve body 2, allowing its locking in closed position.

Le robinet 1 comporte une chambre centrale 4 dans laquelle se déplace un moyen de fermeture/ouverture 5 par exemple en pivotement par l'action de la poignée, éventuellement par l'intermédiaire d'une tige d'actionnement 10 servant d'axe, centré ou décentré, au moyen mobile de fermeture/ouverture 5.The tap 1 has a central chamber 4 in which moves a means of closing / opening 5 for example in pivoting by the action of the handle, possibly by via an operating rod 10 serving axis, centered or off-center, to the moving means of closing / opening 5.

Le moyen de fermeture/ouverture 5 peut être à clapet tournant ou descendant, à bille, à papillon à cylindre ou autre, de forme plate, sphérique, conique ou autre. Il peut également être à axe d'entraínement 10 centré ou décentré.The closing / opening means 5 may be at valve turning or descending, ball, butterfly cylinder or other, flat, spherical, conical Or other. It can also be driven axle 10 centered or off center.

L'étanchéité entre le moyen mobile de fermeture/ouverture 5 et le volume intérieur de la chambre centrale 4 du robinet peut être assurée par un joint annulaire, un rétrécissement de la paroi interne de la chambre centrale 4 contre lequel le moyen de fermeture/ouverture 5, par exemple entre en contact étanche avec la paroi interne adjacente de la chambre 4, par un moyen de fermeture/ouverture 5 de diamètre sensiblement supérieur, ou par tout autre moyen d'étanchéité approprié.The seal between the moving means of closing / opening 5 and the interior volume of the central chamber 4 of the tap can be provided by a annular seal, a narrowing of the inner wall of the central chamber 4 against which the means of closing / opening 5, for example comes into contact tight with the inner wall of the chamber 4, by means of closing / opening 5 of diameter significantly higher, or by any other means appropriate sealing.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel, le moyen de fermeture/ouverture 5 présente une périphérie réalisée en une matière plus dure que celle du corps de robinet 2, de manière à déformer légèrement le corps de robinet 2 lorsqu'il arrive en contact avec la paroi latérale adjacente de celui-ci en position de fermeture et ainsi à assurer une fermeture parfaitement étanche du robinet 1.According to a preferred embodiment, the closure / opening means 5 has a periphery made of a material harder than that of the body of valve 2, so as to slightly deform the valve body 2 when it comes in contact with the adjacent side wall thereof in a position of closure and so to ensure a closure perfectly sealed from the tap 1.

Selon une variante de ce principe, on a représenté sur la figure 5 un clapet 11 qui comporte un joint d'étanchéité annulaire 12 en matière plus dure que celle du corps de robinet 2. De manière similaire, la totalité du moyen de fermeture/ouverture 5 peut être réalisée en une matière plus dure.According to a variant of this principle, we have shown in FIG. 5 a valve 11 which comprises an annular seal 12 in a more than that of the valve body. similar, the whole of the closing / opening means 5 can be made of a harder material.

Le robinet 1 comporte à son extrémité de raccordement 3 avec la sortie d'un conteneur 13 des moyens de raccordement et de montage 14 par exemple sous la forme d'une entrée adaptée 15 à extrémité cylindrique ou conique ou autre, entourée par un écrou de montage 16 venant se visser sur l'embout fileté 17 de la sortie du conteneur avec interposition d'un joint plat d'étanchéité.The valve 1 has at its end connection 3 with the output of a container 13 of connecting and mounting means 14 for example in the form of an end-adapted input cylindrical or conical or other, surrounded by a nut mounting 16 coming to screw on the threaded end 17 of the exit of the container with the interposition of a flat sealing gasket.

Alternativement, une conformation d'écrou 16 peut être réalisée d'une seule pièce dans le corps de robinet 2 dans son extrémité de raccordement 3.Alternatively, a nut conformation 16 can be performed in one piece in the body of tap 2 in its connecting end 3.

A la place du joint annulaire plat d'étanchéité de l'écrou de raccordement 16, on peut interposer un joint biconique 18 à section en T inversé dont la barre verticale vient s'insérer entre le corps du robinet 2 et la sortie du conteneur 17, les chants correspondant à la barre horizontale du T venant se plaquer pour l'un contre la paroi interne du corps du robinet 2 et pour l'autre contre celle de la sortie du conteneur 17.In place of the flat ring seal sealing of the connection nut 16, it is possible interpose a T-section biconical 18 inverted whose vertical bar is inserted between the valve body 2 and the outlet of the container 17, the songs corresponding to the horizontal bar of the T sticking to one against the inner wall of the body of the tap 2 and for the other against that of the out of the container 17.

Le robinet selon l'invention, monté à la sortie d'un conteneur 13 et comportant un tel joint 18 en T est représenté sur les figures 6 et 7. Sur ces figures, il est aisé de remarquer que le robinet est placé en retrait et non en saillie par rapport à la paroi externe 19 du contenant ce qui satisfait parfaitement aux normes de sécurité en vigueur.The valve according to the invention, mounted on leaving a container 13 and having such a seal 18 T is shown in Figures 6 and 7. On these figures, it is easy to notice that the tap is placed in recess and not protruding from the outer wall 19 of the container which satisfies perfectly to the safety standards in force.

La chambre centrale 4 du robinet 1 se prolonge vers la sortie par une extrémité de sortie 6, préférentiellement sous la forme d'une conduite sensiblement droite ou coudée dont la section est obturée à un endroit donné, de préférence à proximité du plan de sortie par une paroi d'obturation 7 préférentiellement sensiblement perpendiculaire au flot du liquide sortant.The central chamber 4 of the tap 1 is extends towards the exit by an exit end 6, preferably in the form of a pipe substantially straight or bent whose section is closed at a given location, preferably close of the exit plan by a shutter wall 7 preferably substantially perpendicular to the outflow of liquid.

Cette paroi d'obturation 7 est formée par moulage d'une seule pièce avec au moins l'extrémité de sortie 6 du corps de robinet 2 et de préférence avec tout le corps du robinet 2 lors de sa fabrication.This closure wall 7 is formed by one-piece molding with at least the end of outlet 6 of the valve body 2 and preferably with the entire body of the valve 2 during its manufacture.

Préférentiellement, cette paroi d'obturation 7 est composée de la même matière moulable que le corps de robinet 2, ce qui facilite grandement sa fabrication et diminue son prix revient.Preferably, this closure wall 7 is made of the same moldable material as the valve body 2, which greatly facilitates its manufacture and decreases its price returns.

Elle se présente dans une réalisation préférée sous la forme d'un disque 20, préférentiellement plat, solidaire de la paroi latérale adjacente du corps de robinet 2 par un amincissement annulaire 21 de jonction constituant une zone périphérique de plus faible résistance mécanique. Celle-ci constitue un périmètre de fracturation qui cèdera par traction ou poussée mécanique sur la paroi d'obturation 7, laissant la section de sortie du robinet 1 libre et sans bavure après extraction rapide et complète d'un seul tenant de la paroi d'obturation 7 au moment de l'ouverture autorisée du conteneur.She presents herself in a realization preferred in the form of a disc 20, preferentially flat, integral with the wall adjacent side of the valve body 2 by a annular thinning 21 junction constituting a peripheral area of lower mechanical strength. This constitutes a fracturing perimeter that will yield by traction or mechanical push on the wall shutter 7, leaving the exit section of the tap 1 free and burr free after quick extraction and complete in one piece of the closure wall 7 at the time of the authorized opening of the container.

De manière avantageuse, le retrait de la paroi d'obturation 7 libère entièrement l'ouverture de l'extrémité de sortie 6 du robinet 1.Advantageously, the withdrawal of the shutter wall 7 completely frees the opening of the outlet end 6 of the tap 1.

Bien entendu, des variantes à surface d'ouverture partielle, c'est-à-dire correspondant à une fraction de la section d'extrémité, sont possibles. On envisage par exemple une ouverture sur une simple partie centrale.Of course, surface variants partial opening, that is to say corresponding to a fraction of the end section, are possible. For example, an opening on a simple central part.

Pour faciliter cette extraction difficile manuellement, il est prévu un élément de préhension 22 par exemple une languette de traction 23 qui nécessitera l'aide d'un outil en raison de la résistance de la matière et de l'épaisseur faible mais non négligeable de la zone amincie 21, celle-ci devant tout de même pouvoir garantir le maintien de l'obturation lors de tous les événements accidentels ou normaux liés au transport, au stockage ou à la manipulation.To facilitate this difficult extraction manually, there is provided a gripping element 22 for example a pull tab 23 which will require the help of a tool because of the resistance of the material and the low thickness but not negligible of the thinned zone 21, this one before still be able to guarantee the maintenance of shutter during all accidental events or normal transport, storage or handling.

La languette de traction 23 est réalisée d'une seule pièce avec la paroi ou cloison d'obturation 7. Il peut s'agir d'une pièce rectangulaire du type languette, articulée à pivotement au corps de la paroi d'obturation 7 par exemple par une charnière obtenue par une ligne amincie de raccordement ou de liaison.The pull tab 23 is made in one piece with the wall or partition 7. This may be a coin rectangular tongue type, articulated to pivoting to the body of the shutter wall 7 by example by a hinge obtained by a line thinned connection or connection.

On peut envisager également de faire céder la zone périphérique de jonction 21 par poussée sur la paroi d'obturation 7 et non par traction.We can also consider giving up the peripheral junction area 21 by pushing on the closing wall 7 and not by traction.

L'extrémité de sortie 6 du robinet 1 dans laquelle la paroi d'obturation 7 est moulée comporte préférentiellement un filetage 24 sur sa face externe afin qu'il soit possible d'y adapter un bouchon terminal 25 de sécurité par vissage, celui-ci pouvant lui-même comporter un moyen supplémentaire d'inviolabilité tel que par exemple une bague frangible.The outlet end 6 of the tap 1 in which the closure wall 7 is molded comprises preferentially a thread 24 on its outer face so that it is possible to fit a cap security terminal 25 by screwing, the latter being able to itself include an additional means inviolability such as for example a ring frangible.

On peut également envisager de nombreuses variantes des modes de réalisation précédents sans s'écarter de la portée de l'invention définie par les revendications annexées.We can also consider many variants of the previous embodiments without deviate from the scope of the invention defined by appended claims.

On peut ainsi envisager qu'au lieu d'être réalisée en une seule partie, la paroi d'obturation 7 soit réalisée en plusieurs parties, chacune d'elles pouvant alors comporter son propre élément de préhension 22.We can thus consider that instead of being made in one part, the shutter wall 7 be made in several parts, each of them can then include his own element of grasping 22.
