Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'égouttage, de séchage et de rangement de tuyaux souples, notamment de tuyaux ayant servi au transfert de vin ou de jus de raisin.The present invention relates to a device for dewatering, drying and storage of flexible pipes, including pipes used for the transfer of wine or grape juice.
Dans le domaine de la vinification, il est fréquemment nécessaire de ranger des tuyaux ayant servi au transfert du jus de raisin ou du vin de sorte qu'ils puissent s'égoutter et sécher, en particulier pour empêcher le développement de germes et de moisissures à leur partie interne.In the field of winemaking, it is frequently necessary to store pipes that have been used to transfer grape juice or wine so that they can drip and dry, especially to prevent the development of germs and molds. their internal part.
A cet effet, les professionnels des entreprises vinicoles utilisent le plus souvent des moyens rudimentaires consistant à positionner les tuyaux à cheval sur une cuve, ou à les suspendre à un mur à leur partie médiane après qu'ils aient été repliés en arc de cercle, ce qui n'est guère commode.For this purpose, the professionals of the wineries most often use rudimentary means of positioning the pipes on horseback on a tank, or suspending them to a wall at their median part after they have been folded in an arc, which is hardly convenient.
Il a également déjà été proposé de lever de tels tuyaux jusqu'au plafond d'un local, ce qui exige la mise en oeuvre d'un système de cordes et de poulies pour chaque tuyau, ou encore d'aligner une série de tuyaux sur une très longue étagère en pente fixée à un mur qui est ainsi inutilisable, ce qui correspond là encore à des moyens empiriques peu satisfaisants.It has also been proposed to lift such pipes to the ceiling of a room, which requires the implementation of a system of ropes and pulleys for each pipe, or to align a series of pipes on a very long sloping shelf attached to a wall that is thus unusable, which again corresponds to unsatisfactory empirical means.
Il n'a jamais été, jusqu'à ce jour, proposé de moyens permettant de ranger de manière rationnelle des tuyaux souples notamment des tuyaux ayant servi au transfert de vin ou de jus de raisin de sorte qu'ils puissent s'égoutter et sécher rapidement.There has never been, until now, any means of rationally arranging flexible hoses, especially pipes used for the transfer of wine or grape juice so that they can drain and dry. quickly.
La présente invention a pour objet de proposer un dispositif d'égouttage, de séchage et de rangement de tuyaux souples de nature à combler cette lacune.The present invention aims to provide a device for dewatering, drying and storage of flexible hoses of such a nature to fill this gap.
Selon l'invention, un tel dispositif est caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué par un support recevant un tambour cylindrique vertical mobile en rotation autour de son axe longitudinal médian et équipé d'un ensemble de tiges de maintien verticales uniformément réparties sur sa périphérie et comportant chacune une série d'encoches de réception des tuyaux disposées les unes au-dessus des autres sur sa longueur.According to the invention, such a device is characterized in that it consists of a support receiving a vertical cylindrical drum rotatable about its median longitudinal axis and equipped with a set of vertical holding rods uniformly distributed on its periphery. and each having a series of notches for receiving the pipes arranged one above the other along its length.
Un tel tambour rotatif peut recevoir et maintenir de façon sure un ensemble de tuyaux enroulés chacun en spirale autour de sa périphérie pour qu'ils puissent s'égoutter par gravité.Such a rotating drum can securely receive and hold a plurality of pipes each wound spirally around its periphery so that they can drain by gravity.
Ces tuyaux sont ainsi disposés parallèlement les uns aux autres.These pipes are thus arranged parallel to each other.
Plus précisément, l'extrémité d'un premier tuyau est introduite dans l'encoche supérieure d'une première tige de maintien, puis ce premier tuyau est enroulé le long du tambour rotatif de sorte qu'il s'insère, sur sa longueur, dans la seconde encoche à partir du haut d'une seconde tige de maintien voisine de la première, puis dans la troisième encoche à partir du haut d'une troisième tige de maintien voisine de la seconde, et ainsi de suite jusqu'à ce que toute la longueur du tuyau soit positionnée et maintenue sur le tambour rotatif.More specifically, the end of a first pipe is introduced into the upper notch of a first holding rod, then this first pipe is wound along the rotary drum so that it is inserted along its length, in the second notch from the top of a second holding rod next to the first, then in the third notch from the top of a third holding rod next to the second, and so on until the entire length of the pipe is positioned and held on the rotating drum.
De même, l'extrémité d'un second tuyau est introduite dans l'encoche supérieure de la seconde tige de maintien et ce second tuyau est enroulé autour du tambour rotatif et positionné et maintenu sur la périphérie de ce tambour d'une manière similaire au premier tuyau, parallèlement à celui-ci.Similarly, the end of a second pipe is introduced into the upper notch of the second holding rod and the second pipe is wrapped around the rotating drum and positioned and held on the periphery of the drum in a manner similar to the first pipe, parallel to it.
Le tambour rotatif peut ainsi recevoir un nombre de tuyaux égal au nombre de tiges de maintien.The rotary drum can thus receive a number of pipes equal to the number of holding rods.
Par suite, le dispositif selon l'invention permet de positionner un nombre important de tuyaux devant être égouttés et séchés tout en étant peu encombrant.As a result, the device according to the invention allows to position a large number of pipes to be drained and dried while being compact.
Selon l'invention, le tambour rotatif comporte en règle générale entre cinq et quinze tiges de maintien.According to the invention, the rotary drum generally comprises between five and fifteen holding rods.
Bien entendu, l'utilisation du dispositif qui fait l'objet de l'invention n'est pas limitée aux tuyaux ayant servi au transfert de vin ou de jus de raisin, mais ce dispositif peut de manière plus générale recevoir tous les tuyaux souples ayant servi au transfert de liquides quelconques devant être égouttés, séchés et rangés.Of course, the use of the device that is the subject of the invention is not limited to pipes used for the transfer of wine or grape juice, but this device can more generally receive all the hoses having served for the transfer of any liquids to be drained, dried and stored.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les encoches de réception sont définies par une série de plaquettes parallèles équidistantes inclinées vers le haut et fixées sur la face externe des tiges de maintien.According to another characteristic of the invention, the receiving notches are defined by a series of equidistant parallel plates inclined upwards and fixed on the outer face of the holding rods.
On peut ainsi avantageusement équiper les tiges de maintien d'une série d'encoches dont l'inclinaison facilite la mise en place et le retrait des tuyaux tout en garantissant leur maintien.It can thus advantageously equip the holding rods of a series of notches whose inclination facilitates the introduction and withdrawal of the pipes while ensuring their maintenance.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le support est constitué par une console de préférence circulaire équipée à sa partie médiane d'un manchon de réception de l'axe longitudinal médian du tambour rotatif.According to another characteristic of the invention, the support is constituted by a preferably circular bracket equipped at its middle part with a receiving sleeve of the median longitudinal axis of the rotary drum.
Un tel support est de préférence monté sur des roues, ce qui permet de déplacer facilement le dispositif.Such a support is preferably mounted on wheels, which makes it easy to move the device.
Le dispositif conforme à l'invention se distingue également par une esthétique satisfaisante particulièrement bien intégrée aux caves à vin.The device according to the invention is also distinguished by a satisfactory aesthetic particularly well integrated with wine cellars.

L'un de ces tuyaux 10 est représenté en pointillés sur la
L'extrémité de ce tuyau 10 est introduite dans l'encoche 8 supérieure de la première tige de maintien 6 (I) puis ce tuyau 10 est enroulé vers le bas le long de la périphérie du tambour rotatif 3 de sorte qu'il s'insère dans la seconde encoche 8 de la seconde tige de maintien 6 (II) puis dans la troisième encoche 8 de la troisième tige de maintien 6 (III) et ainsi de suite jusqu'à ce que toute la longueur du tuyau 10 soit positionnée et maintenue sur le tambour rotatif 3.The end of this
De manière non représentée sur les figures, le positionnement de sept autres tuyaux souples s'effectue de façon totalement identique, mais à partir des tiges de maintien 6 référencées II à VIII.In a manner not shown in the figures, the positioning of seven other flexible hoses is performed completely identically, but from the holding rods 6 referenced II to VIII.
Le tambour rotatif 3 peut ainsi recevoir un total de huit tuyaux souples enroulés en spirale parallèlement les uns aux autres.The
