Une machine hydraulique ayant les caractéristiques techniques selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est connue du document WO 2004/051 085 A1 .A hydraulic machine having the technical features according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from the document WO 2004/051 085 A1 .

Les machines hydrauliques de ce genre, notamment les moteurs hydrauliques pour doseurs proportionnels, fonctionnent pour la plupart avec un système de distribution du type « boîte à clapets ». La boîte à clapets est un système de distribution de fluide composé d'une soupape d'admission et d'échappement par chambre de travail, les soupapes étant munies de joints.Hydraulic machines of this type, especially the proportional proportional hydraulic motors, operate for the most part with a distribution system of the "valve box" type. The valve box is a fluid distribution system consisting of an inlet and outlet valve per working chamber, the valves being provided with seals.

Un tel type de distribution impose une architecture et une géométrie à la machine hydraulique, ainsi qu'au doseur proportionnel incorporant une telle machine hydraulique, créant des problèmes pour la maintenance. En effet, le montage comme le démontage d'une telle boîte à clapets est souvent difficile en raison d'un accès étroit et oblige souvent à démonter d'autres éléments du doseur. En outre, il est pratiquement inévitable d'avoir à remplacer les joints de clapets au cours de la vie du doseur.Such a type of distribution imposes an architecture and a geometry to the hydraulic machine, as well as proportional proportioning incorporating such a hydraulic machine, creating problems for maintenance. Indeed, the assembly as the disassembly of such a valve box is often difficult because of a narrow access and often requires disassembly of other elements of the dispenser. In addition, it is almost inevitable to have to replace the valve seals during the life of the dispenser.

L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir une machine hydraulique, notamment moteur hydraulique, dont les moyens de commutation permettent de bien séparer le mécanisme de distribution de la partie motrice, afin que le démontage de ces éléments puisse se faire indépendamment l'un de l'autre.The object of the invention is, above all, to provide a hydraulic machine, in particular a hydraulic motor, whose switching means make it possible to separate the distribution mechanism from the driving part, so that the disassembly of these elements can be done independently. one of the other.

L'invention a également pour but de réduire le nombre de pièces composant la machine, en particulier au niveau des moyens de commutation, et de réduire les opérations de maintenance.The invention also aims to reduce the number of parts making up the machine, in particular at the switching means, and reduce maintenance operations.

Selon l'invention, une machine hydraulique, notamment moteur hydraulique, du genre défini précédemment est caractérisée en ce que l'organe de distribution comprend un tiroir de distribution appliqué contre une plaque plane fixe relativement au corps de l'enveloppe, le tiroir de distribution pouvant coulisser de manière étanche, sans joint, contre la plaque qui comporte des orifices reliés respectivement aux chambres de l'enveloppe et à un orifice de sortie du liquide, le tiroir de distribution étant prévu pour, selon sa position, fermer certains des orifices ou les mettre en communication avec l'arrivée de fluide ou l'échappement.According to the invention, a hydraulic machine, in particular a hydraulic motor, of the kind defined above is characterized in that the dispensing member comprises a dispensing spool pressed against a fixed flat plate relative to the body of the casing, the dispensing spool. being able to slide sealingly, seamlessly, against the plate which has orifices connected respectively to the chambers of the casing and to an outlet orifice of the liquid, the dispensing spool being provided for, depending on its position, closing some of the orifices or put them in communication with the arrival of fluid or the exhaust.

Le moyen élastique est avantageusement constitué par un ressort en forme d'arc de courbe dont une extrémité est liée à une biellette articulée sur un axe porté par le corps de l'enveloppe, une extrémité de la biellette étant liée au poussoir, tandis que l'autre extrémité du ressort est liée en translation au tiroir, cette autre extrémité passant d'une position stable à une autre position stable par déformation du ressort.The elastic means is advantageously constituted by a curved arc-shaped spring, one end of which is connected to a link articulated on an axis carried by the body of the casing, one end of the link being connected to the pusher, while the other end of the spring is linked in translation to the slide, this other end passing from a stable position to another stable position by deformation of the spring.

L'extrémité du ressort en forme d'arc de courbe liée au poussoir passe, lors du déplacement du poussoir, d'un côté à l'autre de l'axe d'articulation de la biellette. L'extrémité du ressort en arc de courbe liée au tiroir peut être reçue dans un logement allongé suivant la direction de déplacement du tiroir.The end of the curved arc-shaped spring connected to the pusher passes, during the movement of the pusher, from one side to the other of the axis of articulation of the rod. The end of the curved arc spring connected to the drawer can be received in an elongated housing in the direction of movement of the drawer.

Le ressort est avantageusement réalisé en matière plastique, et des pions d'articulation prévus à chaque extrémité sont moulés d'une seule pièce avec ce ressort.The spring is advantageously made of plastic, and hinge pins provided at each end are molded in one piece with this spring.

La plaque plane comporte, de préférence, cinq orifices espacés suivant la direction de coulissement du tiroir, à savoir un orifice central relié à la sortie de la machine hydraulique et, de part et d'autre de l'orifice central, deux orifices espacés reliés à une chambre de la machine, le tiroir comportant à ses extrémités longitudinales un moyen d'obturation d'un orifice de la plaque et, entre ses extrémités, un espace de communication entre au moins deux orifices de la plaque. De préférence, l'écartement entre l'orifice central et un orifice voisin de la plaque est inférieur à l'écartement entre cet orifice voisin et l'orifice extrême situé du même côté, l'espace de communication du tiroir assurant, lors de l'inversion du sens de déplacement du moyen de séparation, une mise en communication des deux chambres avec la sortie, et donc de l'entrée avec la sortie.The flat plate preferably comprises five orifices spaced in the slide sliding direction, namely a central orifice connected to the outlet of the hydraulic machine and, on either side of the central orifice, two spaced apart orifices connected to each other. one chamber of the machine, the drawer having at its longitudinal ends means for closing a hole of the plate and, between its ends, a communication space between at least two holes of the plate. Preferably, the spacing between the central orifice and an orifice adjacent to the plate is less than the spacing between this adjacent orifice and the end orifice located on the same side, the communication space of the slide ensuring, during the reversal of the direction of movement of the separation means, placing the two chambers in communication with the outlet, and therefore the inlet with the outlet.

Chaque moyen d'obturation du tiroir de distribution comprend une zone d'obturation délimitée par deux parois transversales à la direction de déplacement, propre à fermer un orifice de la plaque lorsqu'elle se trouve au droit de cet orifice, et l'espace de communication du tiroir de distribution, compris entre les zones d'obturation, est limité par une paroi écartée de la plaque.Each closure means of the dispensing spool comprises a closure zone delimited by two walls transverse to the direction of displacement, suitable for closing an orifice of the plate when it is at the right of this orifice, and the space of communication of the dispensing spool, between the closure zones, is limited by a wall spaced from the plate.

Le tiroir de distribution et la plaque plane peuvent être disposés parallèlement à la direction de déplacement du poussoir. De préférence, la surface de la plaque plane en contact avec le tiroir est une glace. La plaque plane peut être en céramique. Le tiroir peut être en matière plastique.The dispensing spool and the flat plate may be arranged parallel to the direction of movement of the pusher. Preferably, the surface of the flat plate in contact with the drawer is an ice. The flat plate may be ceramic. The drawer can be made of plastic.

Le moyen de séparation est avantageusement une membrane.The separation means is advantageously a membrane.

L'invention est également relative à un doseur proportionnel d'un additif dans un liquide principal, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un moteur hydraulique tel que défini précédemment et un sous-ensemble de dosage de l'additif actionné par le moteur.The invention also relates to a proportional proportioner of an additive in a main liquid, characterized in that it comprises a hydraulic motor as defined above and a metering subassembly of the additive actuated by the engine.

En se reportant aux dessins, notamment à Fig. 1 et 2, on peut voir un doseur proportionnel comportant un moteur hydraulique 1, pour une injection dosée d'additif dans un liquide principal qui actionne le moteur. Le moteur 1 comprend une enveloppe 2 formée d'un corps 3 et d'un couvercle 4. Le corps et le couvercle sont assemblés de manière démontable, par boulons et écrous non représentés, traversant des trous prévus dans des collerettes conjuguées. Le couvercle 4 est équipé d'une purge Am pour évacuer l'air du doseur.Referring to the drawings, in particular Fig. 1 and 2 a proportional proportioner comprising a hydraulic motor 1 can be seen for a metered injection of additive into a main liquid which actuates the engine. The motor 1 comprises a casing 2 formed of a body 3 and a lid 4. The body and the lid are dismountably assembled, by bolts and nuts not shown, passing through holes provided in mating flanges. The lid 4 is equipped with a purge Am to evacuate the air from the dispenser.

Un moyen de séparation M propre à effectuer un mouvement alternatif, dans un volume compris entre le corps 3 et le couvercle 2, définit deux chambres 5 et 6. Le moyen de séparation M est avantageusement constitué par une membrane déformable 7 dont la périphérie comporte un bourrelet serré de manière étanche entre le couvercle 4 et le corps 3. Cet exemple de réalisation du moyen de séparation M n'est pas limitatif, l'invention pouvant s'appliquer à une machine dont le moyen de séparation est constitué par un piston.A separating means M capable of reciprocating, in a volume between the body 3 and the cover 2, defines two chambers 5 and 6. The separating means M is advantageously constituted by a deformable membrane 7 whose periphery comprises a bead tightly sealed between the cover 4 and the body 3. This embodiment of the separating means M is not limiting, the invention being applicable to a machine whose means of separation is constituted by a piston.

La chambre 5, située au-dessus de la membrane 7 lorsque le moteur est disposé avec son axe vertical comme illustré sur Fig. 1, est limitée par une surface interne concave 8 du couvercle 4. La partie centrale de la membrane 7 comporte une ouverture circulaire dont le bord est serré de manière étanche entre un disque 9 logé essentiellement dans la chambre 6 et une couronne 10 logée dans la chambre 5. La couronne 10 peut venir en appui, en fin de course haute de la membrane 7, contre une nervure 11 de la surface interne 8.The chamber 5, located above the membrane 7 when the motor is arranged with its vertical axis as illustrated on Fig. 1 is limited by a concave internal surface 8 of the cover 4. The central part of the membrane 7 has a circular opening whose edge is tightly sealed between a disc 9 housed essentially in the chamber 6 and a ring 10 housed in the chamber 5. The ring 10 can bear, at the end of the upper stroke of the membrane 7, against a rib 11 of the inner surface 8.

La chambre 6 est délimitée, du côté opposé à la membrane 7, par une cavité cylindrique dont le fond 12 comporte un passage pour un poussoir A.The chamber 6 is delimited, on the opposite side to the membrane 7, by a cylindrical cavity whose bottom 12 comprises a passage for a pusher A.

Des moyens de commutation hydraulique C sont prévus pour l'alimentation en liquide et l'évacuation des chambres 5 et 6. Ces moyens de commutation C comportent un organe de distribution D pouvant prendre deux positions stables et sont commandés par les déplacements de la membrane 7.Hydraulic switching means C are provided for the supply of liquid and the evacuation of the chambers 5 and 6. These switching means C comprise a distribution member D which can take two stable positions and are controlled by the displacements of the membrane 7 .

Les moyens de commutation C sont logés dans un compartiment 13 du corps 3 de l'enveloppe, relié à une arrivée 14 de liquide sous pression.The switching means C are housed in a compartment 13 of the body 3 of the envelope, connected to an inlet 14 of liquid under pressure.

Des moyens de déclenchement 15, comprenant le poussoir A lié à la membrane 7, sont propres à provoquer en fin de course haute et basse un changement brusque de la position des moyens de commutation C sous l'action d'un moyen élastique B, pour l'inversion de la course de la membrane 7.Trigger means 15, comprising the pusher A connected to the membrane 7, are able to cause a high end and a low end of a sudden change in the position of the switching means C under the action of an elastic means B, for the reversal of the stroke of the membrane 7.

L'organe de distribution D comprend un tiroir de distribution 16 appliqué contre une plaque plane 17 fixe relativement au corps 3 de l'enveloppe.The dispensing member D comprises a dispensing spool 16 applied against a flat plate 17 fixed relative to the body 3 of the envelope.

La plaque 17 est constituée par une glace, c'est-à-dire que la surface de la plaque 17 en contact avec le tiroir de distribution 16 présente un haut degré de planéité correspondant à un poli miroir. La surface conjuguée du tiroir 16 présente également un haut degré de planéité de sorte qu'une étanchéité de contact sans joint est établie entre la glace 17 et le tiroir 16. La plaque 17 est avantageusement réalisée en céramique tandis que le tiroir 16 est réalisé en matière plastique.The plate 17 is constituted by an ice, that is to say that the surface of the plate 17 in contact with the distribution slide 16 has a high degree of flatness corresponding to a mirror polish. The combined surface of the slide 16 also has a high degree of flatness so that a seal without contact is established between the glass 17 and the drawer 16. The plate 17 is advantageously made of ceramic while the drawer 16 is made of plastic material.

La plaque 17 comporte, pour le passage du liquide, cinq orifices espacés suivant la direction de coulissement du tiroir 16, la direction verticale selon l'exemple de Fig.1.The plate 17 comprises, for the passage of the liquid, five orifices spaced in the direction of sliding of the slide 16, the vertical direction according to the example of Fig.1 .

La plaque 17 et le tiroir 16 sont disposés parallèlement à la direction de déplacement du poussoir A et orthogonalement à l'axe géométrique de l'entrée 14. Le tiroir 16 peut coulisser contre la plaque 17 parallèlement à la direction de déplacement du poussoir A.The plate 17 and the slide 16 are arranged parallel to the direction of movement of the pusher A and orthogonal to the geometric axis of the inlet 14. The slide 16 can slide against the plate 17 parallel to the direction of movement of the pusher A.

La plaque 17 comporte un orifice central S relié à la sortie 18 de la machine hydraulique et, de part et d'autre de l'orifice central suivant la direction de déplacement du tiroir, deux orifices espacés E5, P5 et E6, P6 reliés par des canalisations prévues dans une pièce 19 fixée contre le corps 3 de la machine. La pièce 19 est elle-même reliée par deux coudes 20 (Fig. 2) à la chambre supérieure 5. Les liaisons avec la chambre inférieure 6 ne sont représentées que partiellement.The plate 17 has a central orifice S connected to the outlet 18 of the hydraulic machine and, on either side of the central orifice in the direction of movement of the slide, two spaced orifices E5, P5 and E6, P6 connected by pipes provided in a part 19 fixed against the body 3 of the machine. The piece 19 is itself connected by two elbows 20 ( Fig. 2 ) to the upper chamber 5. The connections with the lower chamber 6 are only partially represented.

La partie inférieure du compartiment 13 est ouverte et reçoit un sous-ensemble de dosage 21 avec clapet d'aspiration muni d'un embout 23 auquel peut être raccordé un conduit plongeant dans un récipient (non représenté) d'additif aspiré en quantité dosée. Le sous-ensemble de dosage 21 comprend un piston d'aspiration 24 accroché au poussoir A.The lower part of the compartment 13 is open and receives a metering subassembly 21 with a suction valve provided with a nozzle 23 to which may be connected a duct immersed in a container (not shown) of additive sucked in metered quantity. The metering subassembly 21 comprises a suction piston 24 hooked to the pusher A.

Selon l'exemple représenté sur Fig. 1, le piston 24 traverse un bouchon 25 de séparation prévu dans le fond du compartiment 13. Le liquide additif pompé par le piston 24 est refoulé vers la sortie 18 à travers une canalisation 26 qui débouche au-dessous du bouchon 25. Le mélange de l'additif, pompé par le sous-ensemble 21, avec le liquide principal arrivant par l'entrée 14 s'effectue au niveau de la sortie 18.According to the example shown on Fig. 1 , the piston 24 passes through a separating plug 25 provided in the bottom of the compartment 13. The additive liquid pumped by the piston 24 is discharged towards the outlet 18 through a pipe 26 which opens below the cap 25. The mixture of the additive, pumped by the subset 21, with the main liquid arriving through the inlet 14 is made at the outlet 18.

En variante, le mélange de l'additif et du liquide principal pourrait avoir lieu dans le compartiment 13 en supprimant le bouchon 25 et en fermant la canalisation 26.Alternatively, the mixture of the additive and the main liquid could take place in the compartment 13 by removing the plug 25 and closing the pipe 26.

Comme visible sur Fig. 6, la plaque 17 est logée dans un évidement 27 prévu dans un bloc 28 en matière plastique comportant des trous 29 pour fixation sur la pièce 19, et des butées 30, 31 de fin de course du tiroir 16.As visible on Fig. 6 , the plate 17 is housed in a recess 27 provided in a plastic block 28 having holes 29 for attachment to the piece 19, and stops 30, 31 end of travel of the drawer 16.

L'écartement entre l'orifice central S de la plaque 17 et un orifice voisin E5 ou E6 est inférieur à l'écartement entre cet orifice E5 ou E6 et l'orifice extrême P5 ou P6 situé du même côté. Le pas entre les orifices est donc décalé, ce qui présente un intérêt expliqué plus loin.The spacing between the central orifice S of the plate 17 and a neighbor orifice E5 or E6 is less than the spacing between this orifice E5 or E6 and the extreme orifice P5 or P6 situated on the same side. The pitch between the orifices is offset, which is of interest explained below.

Le tiroir 16 comporte à chacune de ses extrémités longitudinales un moyen d'obturation comprenant une zone d'obturation 32, 33 d'un orifice de la plaque 17 et, entre les zones d'obturation, un espace 34 de communication entre au moins deux orifices de la plaque 17.The drawer 16 has at each of its longitudinal ends a closure means comprising a closure zone 32, 33 of an orifice of the plate 17 and, between the closure zones, a communication space 34 between at least two holes in the plate 17.

Chaque zone d'obturation 32, 33 du tiroir 16 est délimitée par deux parois transversales à la direction de déplacement, assurant un contact quasiment linéaire avec la plaque 17, favorable à l'établissement d'une bonne étanchéité. Entre les parois transversales d'appui contre la plaque 17, la paroi des zones d'obturation 32,33 est parallèle à la plaque 17 et écartée de sa surface. L'espace de communication 34 situé entre les zones d'obturation 32, 33 est limité par une paroi 35 en forme de dôme.Each closure zone 32, 33 of the slide 16 is delimited by two walls transverse to the direction of movement, providing a virtually linear contact with the plate 17, favorable to the establishment of a good seal. Between the transverse walls bearing against the plate 17, the wall of the closing zones 32, 33 is parallel to the plate 17 and spaced from its surface. The communication space 34 located between the closing zones 32, 33 is limited by a dome-shaped wall 35.

Le moyen élastique B est constitué par un ressort 36 à lame en forme d'arc de courbe dont la convexité est tournée vers la partie supérieure du corps 3. Une extrémité 36a du ressort est liée au poussoir A tandis que l'autre extrémité 36b est liée en translation au tiroir 16. Chaque extrémité 36a, 36b est avantageusement formée par un pion cylindrique dont les génératrices sont orthogonales au plan moyen du ressort à lame 36, et à la direction de déplacement du poussoir A, ces pions cylindriques formant axe d'articulation. Le ressort 36 est réalisé de préférence en matière plastique d'une seule pièce avec les pions 36a, 36b. Les pions des extrémités 36a, 36b font saillie transversalement de part et d'autre de la lame ressort 36 suivant sa largeur.The resilient means B is constituted by a spring 36 with a curved arc-shaped blade whose convexity is turned towards the upper part of the body 3. One end 36a of the spring is connected to the pusher A while the other end 36b is translationally connected to the slide 16. Each end 36a, 36b is advantageously formed by a cylindrical pin whose generatrices are orthogonal to the mean plane of the leaf spring 36, and to the direction of movement of the pusher A, these cylindrical pins forming a pin joint. The spring 36 is preferably made of plastic in one piece with the pins 36a, 36b. The pins of the ends 36a, 36b protrude transversely on either side of the leaf spring 36 along its width.

Les saillies latérales de l'extrémité 36a , comme visible sur Fig. 2, sont reçues dans des logements respectifs prévus à une extrémité de deux branches parallèles d'une biellette 37, ces branches encadrant le ressort 36. Chaque logement recevant l'extrémité 36a est ouvert de sorte que l'extrémité 36a peut être engagée et dégagée aisément des logements de la biellette 37 par simple déformation du ressort 36.The lateral projections of the end 36a, as visible on Fig. 2 , are received in respective housings provided at one end of two parallel branches of a rod 37, these branches flanking the spring 36. Each housing receiving the end 36a is open so that the end 36a can be engaged and easily released from the housing of the rod 37 by simple deformation of the spring 36.

La biellette 37 est articulée, à son extrémité éloignée de 36a, sur un axe 38 supporté, à chacune de ses extrémités, par un élément 39 (Fig.2) sensiblement en forme de triangle isocèle, avec ouverture intérieure, dont la base est solidaire de la pièce 19 et du corps 3, et dont la zone du sommet comporte un palier pour l'extrémité de l'axe 38. Les deux supports 39 encadrent le tiroir 16 et la biellette 37.The rod 37 is articulated, at its end remote from 36a, on an axis 38 supported, at each of its ends, by an element 39 ( Fig.2 ) substantially isosceles triangle-shaped, with inner opening, the base of which is integral with the piece 19 and the body 3, and whose top area comprises a bearing for the end of the axis 38. The two supports 39 frame the drawer 16 and the rod 37.

L'extrémité de chaque branche de la biellette 37 opposée à l'axe 38 et à laquelle est liée l'extrémité 36a du ressort 36, comprend une joue 40 dans laquelle est prévu le logement pour l'extrémité 36a. Chaque joue 40 a une forme sensiblement circulaire et est logée, avec possibilité de rotation, dans une rainure 41 horizontale. Chaque rainure 41 est prévue dans une paroi verticale interne d'une fenêtre rectangulaire 42 ménagée dans la partie du poussoir A se trouvant dans le compartiment 13. Chaque rainure 41 s'ouvre, du côté de la plaque 17, par une partie évasée permettant une inclinaison de la biellette comme illustré sur Fig.1.The end of each leg of the rod 37 opposite the axis 38 and which is connected to the end 36a of the spring 36, comprises a cheek 40 in which is provided the housing for the end 36a. Each cheek 40 has a substantially circular shape and is housed, with the possibility of rotation, in a groove 41 horizontal. Each groove 41 is provided in an inner vertical wall of a rectangular window 42 formed in the portion of the pusher A in the compartment 13. Each groove 41 opens, on the side of the plate 17, by a flared portion allowing a tilt of the rod as shown in Fig.1 .

Cette disposition permet, lors de l'entraînement en translation par le poussoir A des joues 40, une rotation de la biellette 37 autour de l'axe 38.This arrangement allows, during the drive in translation by the pusher A cheeks 40, a rotation of the rod 37 about the axis 38.

L'autre extrémité 36b du ressort 36 est reçue dans un logement 43 rectangulaire, allongé suivant la direction de déplacement du tiroir 16. Un tel logement 43 est prévu dans chacune de deux parois latérales 44 du tiroir 16, qui encadrent le ressort 36. Le logement 43 est ouvert dans la direction opposée à la plaque 17 et l'effort du ressort 36 applique l'extrémité 36b contre le fond du logement 43. La mise en place du pion constituant l'extrémité 36b dans le logement 43 est simple et rapide, de même que le démontage.The other end 36b of the spring 36 is received in a rectangular housing 43, elongated in the direction of movement of the drawer 16. Such a housing 43 is provided in each of two side walls 44 of the drawer 16, which frame the spring 36. housing 43 is open in the opposite direction to the plate 17 and the force of the spring 36 applies the end 36b against the bottom of the housing 43. The establishment of the pin constituting the end 36b in the housing 43 is simple and fast , as well as dismantling.

L'extrémité 36b peut occuper une position stable illustrée sur Fig.1 et Fig.12 où elle est en butée contre la paroi transversale du logement 43 la plus éloignée de la chambre 6. Le tiroir 16 occupe alors la position basse illustrée sur Fig.1. Dans une autre position stable représentée sur Fig.6, l'extrémité 36b du ressort est en appui contre la paroi transversale du logement 43 la plus proche de la chambre 6, et le tiroir 16 occupe la position haute opposée à celle de Fig.1.The end 36b can occupy a stable position illustrated on Fig.1 and Fig.12 where it is in abutment against the transverse wall of the housing 43 farthest from the chamber 6. The drawer 16 then occupies the lower position illustrated on Fig.1 . In another stable position represented on Fig.6 the end 36b of the spring is in abutment against the transverse wall of the housing 43 closest to the chamber 6, and the drawer 16 occupies the high position opposite to that of Fig.1 .

L'extrémité 36a du ressort liée au poussoir A par la biellette 37 passe, lors du déplacement vertical du poussoir, d'un côté à l'autre de l'axe d'articulation 38 de la biellette 37. Ce passage provoque le déclenchement de la commutation et le changement de position du tiroirThe end 36a of the spring connected to the pusher A by the link 37 passes, during the vertical displacement of the pusher, from one side to the other of the hinge axis 38 of the rod 37. This passage causes the triggering of switching and changing the position of the drawer

La biellette 37 est solidaire d'au moins un bras 45 sensiblement orthogonal à la biellette et s'étendant de part et d'autre de cette biellette comme visible sur Fig.6 à 13. Le bras 45 a la forme d'un balancier dont les extrémités 45a, 45b sont coudées et arrondies pour entrer en contact, au moment de l'inversion du mouvement de la membrane, avec une butée 46, par exemple en forme de prisme, prévue en saillie sur la face extérieure de la paroi latérale 44 du tiroir, à mi-longueur, au-dessous du logement rectangulaire 43.The link 37 is integral with at least one arm 45 substantially orthogonal to the link and extending on either side of this link as visible on Fig.6 to 13 . The arm 45 has the shape of a rocker whose ends 45a, 45b are bent and rounded to come into contact, at the moment of reversal of the movement of the membrane, with a stop 46, for example in the form of a prism, provided protruding on the outer face of the side wall 44 of the drawer, at mid-length, below the rectangular housing 43.

De préférence deux bras 45 parallèles sont prévus et encadrent le tiroir 16, pour venir simultanément en appui contre les butées 46.Preferably two parallel arms 45 are provided and frame the drawer 16, to simultaneously bear against the abutments 46.

Les phases de commutation obtenues avec le tiroir 16 et la plaque 17 sont illustrées sur Fig. 3,4 et 5. Pour faciliter la lecture des dessins, le tiroir 16 a été représenté rabattu alors, qu'en réalité, il coulisse contre la plaque 17 dans une position orthogonale à celle représentée sur ces figures. La largeur du tiroir 16 est supérieure à celle des orifices de la plaque 17 de sorte que lorsqu'un orifice est recouvert par l'un des zone d'obturations d'extrémité 32 ou 33 du tiroir, cet orifice est entièrement fermé.The switching phases obtained with the slide 16 and the plate 17 are illustrated on Fig. 3,4 and 5 . To facilitate the reading of the drawings, the drawer 16 has been shown folded down so that, in fact, it slides against the plate 17 in a position orthogonal to that shown in these figures. The width of the spool 16 is greater than that of the orifices of the plate 17 so that when an orifice is covered by one of the end closure areas 32 or 33 of the spool, this orifice is completely closed.

Fig. 3 représente une première position extrême stable du tiroir 16 dans laquelle le zone d'obturation 32 ferme l'orifice E5 relié à la chambre 5, tandis que le zone d'obturation 33 ferme l'orifice P6 relié à la chambre 6. L'espace intermédiaire 34 met en communication l'orifice E6, et donc la chambre 6, avec la sortie S de fluide . L'orifice P5 de la plaque 17 est ouvert et reçoit le liquide sous pression qui arrive dans le compartiment 13 et est dirigé vers la chambre 5. Fig. 3 represents a first stable end position of the slide 16 in which the closing zone 32 closes the orifice E5 connected to the chamber 5, while the closing zone 33 closes the orifice P6 connected to the chamber 6. The space intermediate 34 communicates the orifice E6, and therefore the chamber 6, with the fluid outlet S. The orifice P5 of the plate 17 is open and receives the pressurized liquid which arrives in the compartment 13 and is directed towards the chamber 5.

Fig. 4 représente une position intermédiaire du tiroir 16 dans laquelle les zone d'obturations 32, 33 se trouvent au droit des zones de séparation entre les deux orifices situés de part et d'autre de l'orifice central S de la plaque 17. Les orifices P5 et P6 communiquent avec le compartiment 13 de sorte que la pression est admise à la fois dans la chambre 5 et dans la chambre 6. L'espace 34 fait communiquer les deux orifices d'échappement E5, E6 avec l'orifice de sortie S. Dans cette position intermédiaire les cinq orifices sont en communication totale et sont ouverts tous à pleine section. Le débit de liquide passe à travers les chambres 5 et 6 et les pressions s'équilibrent de part et d'autre de la membrane 7. Fig. 4 represents an intermediate position of the drawer 16 in which the sealing areas 32, 33 are located at the separation zones between the two orifices located on either side of the central orifice S of the plate 17. The orifices P5 and P6 communicate with the compartment 13 so that the pressure is admitted into both the chamber 5 and the chamber 6. The space 34 communicates the two exhaust ports E5, E6 with the outlet port S. In this intermediate position the five orifices are in total communication and are all open at full section. The flow of liquid passes through the chambers 5 and 6 and the pressures equilibrate on both sides of the membrane 7.

Fig.5 représente l'autre position stable extrême du tiroir 16 selon laquelle l'orifice P6 est ouvert et reçoit le fluide sous pression qui est dirigé vers la chambre 6. Les orifices E6 et P5 sont fermés par le tiroir 16, tandis que l'orifice E5 est mis en communication avec la sortie S. Fig.5 represents the other extreme stable position of the slide 16 in which the orifice P6 is open and receives the pressurized fluid which is directed towards the chamber 6. The orifices E6 and P5 are closed by the slide 16, while the orifice E5 is put in communication with the exit S.

Le pas décalé d'une part entre l'orifice de sortie S et les orifices E5, E6 et, d'autre part, entre ces orifices E5, E6 et les orifices P5, P6 permet de ne jamais mettre en communication, en position extrême stable du tiroir 16, la pression d'entrée avec la chambre de sortie, tandis que dans la position intermédiaire de Fig. 4 tous les orifices sont en communication sans restriction pour faire chuter la pression de part et d'autre de la membrane 7.The pitch offset on the one hand between the outlet orifice S and the orifices E5, E6 and, on the other hand, between these orifices E5, E6 and the orifices P5, P6 makes it possible to never put in communication, in extreme position stable drawer 16, the inlet pressure with the outlet chamber, while in the intermediate position of Fig. 4 all the orifices are in unrestricted communication to reduce the pressure on either side of the membrane 7.

Le fonctionnement du moteur hydraulique et du doseur selon l'invention est expliqué en se reportant, aux Fig. 1 et 6 à 13.The operation of the hydraulic motor and the metering device according to the invention is explained with reference to Fig. 1 and 6 to 13 .

Selon Fig.6, la membrane 7 est arrivée en fin de course basse et la biellette 37 a basculé, sous l'action du ressort 36, qui a déplacé le tiroir de distribution 16 dans la position haute stable en appui contre la butée 30. Dans cette position du tiroir 16, l'eau sous pression arrivant par l'entrée 14 est admise par l'orifice P6 ouvert dans la chambre inférieure 6. L'autre orifice E6 communiquant avec cette chambre 6 est fermé, tandis que l'orifice E5 est relié à la sortie 18. La pression qui s'exerce dans la chambre 6 sur la membrane 7 provoque la déformation de cette membrane vers la chambre 5 et le déplacement du poussoir A vers le haut selon Fig.1. Le liquide de la chambre 5 est évacué par l'orifice E5.according to Fig.6 , the membrane 7 has reached the end of the low stroke and the link 37 has tilted, under the action of the spring 36, which has moved the distribution spool 16 in the high stable position in abutment against the stop 30. In this position of the drawer 16, the pressurized water arriving through the inlet 14 is admitted through the opening P6 open in the lower chamber 6. The other orifice E6 communicating with this chamber 6 is closed, while the orifice E5 is connected to the outlet 18. The pressure exerted in the chamber 6 on the membrane 7 causes the deformation of this membrane towards the chamber 5 and the displacement of the pusher A upwards according to Fig.1 . The liquid of the chamber 5 is discharged through the orifice E5.

L'extrémité 36b du ressort 36 reste en appui contre la paroi transversale supérieure du logement 43 et maintient le tiroir 16 dans cette position.The end 36b of the spring 36 remains in abutment against the upper transverse wall of the housing 43 and holds the slide 16 in this position.

La montée du poussoir A entraîne la montée de l'extrémité 36a du ressort 36. Lorsque l'extrémité 36a franchit en montant, selon Fig.1, le plan horizontal passant par l'axe 38 d'articulation de la biellette 37, cette dernière bascule relativement au poussoir A de telle sorte que l'extrémité 36a passe au-dessus de l'axe 38 lorsque l'on regarde Fig.1.The rise of the pusher A causes the end 36a of the spring 36 to rise. When the end 36a passes upwards, according to Fig.1 the horizontal plane passing through the axis 38 of articulation of the rod 37, the latter rocker relative to the pusher A so that the end 36a passes above the axis 38 when we look Fig.1 .

Cette étape est représentée schématiquement sur Fig.8, ramenée à l'horizontale. L'extrémité 36b du ressort se déplace dans le logement 43 pour venir en appui contre l'autre paroi transversale du logement 43 et exercer une poussée sur le tiroir 16 pour le déplacer vers l'autre position stable. Grâce à la géométrie prévue pour la biellette 37 et les bras 45, l'extrémité 45b de ces bras vient simultanément en appui contre la butée 46 (Fig.9). Cette attaque synchrone du tiroir 16 assiste l'effort du ressort 36 pour vaincre la résistance au glissement du tiroir 16.This step is schematically represented on Fig.8 , brought back to the horizontal. The end 36b of the spring moves in the housing 43 to bear against the other transverse wall of the housing 43 and exert a thrust on the slide 16 to move it to the other stable position. Thanks to the geometry provided for the link 37 and the arms 45, the end 45b of these arms simultaneously bears against the abutment 46 (FIG. Fig.9 ). This synchronous attack of the slide 16 assists the force of the spring 36 to overcome the sliding resistance of the slide 16.

Fig. 10 et 11 représentent la position relative de la biellette 37 et du tiroir 16 en fin de l'assistance assurée par les bras 45. Le tiroir 16 ayant débuté sa course, les efforts à développer pour qu'il poursuive sa course sont moindres. Le ressort 36 peut ainsi finir de déplacer le tiroir 16 vers l'autre position stable et la butée 46 s'écarte de l'extrémité 45b comme illustré sur Fig.12 et 13 qui correspondent à la fin de course haute du poussoir A, représentée sur Fig.1. Fig. 10 and 11 represent the relative position of the rod 37 and the drawer 16 at the end of the assistance provided by the arms 45. The drawer 16 having begun its race, efforts to develop to continue its race are less. The spring 36 can thus finish moving the drawer 16 towards the other stable position and the stop 46 moves away from the end 45b as shown in FIG. Fig.12 and 13 which correspond to the end of the upper stroke of the pusher A, shown on Fig.1 .

Dans cette autre position stable la pression est admise dans la chambre 5 alors que la chambre 6 est reliée à la sortie. La membrane 7 peut se déformer vers le bas et le poussoir A peut descendre, et un nouveau cycle se produit.In this other stable position the pressure is admitted into the chamber 5 while the chamber 6 is connected to the outlet. The membrane 7 can deform downwards and the pusher A can go down, and a new cycle occurs.

Le mouvement vertical alternatif de la membrane 7 et du poussoir A permet le pompage et le dosage de l'additif grâce au sous-ensemble de dosage 21 dont le piston de pompage 24 est entraîné par la membrane 7.The vertical reciprocating movement of the membrane 7 and the pusher A allows the pumping and dosing of the additive through the metering subassembly 21 whose pumping piston 24 is driven by the membrane 7.

Le tiroir 16 est maintenu en place contre la glace 17 par le ressort 36. En outre, le tiroir est plaqué contre la glace 17 par la différence de pression et le débit d'entrée du liquide lorsqu'il y a écoulement de liquide. La planéité et la finition de surface du tiroir 16 et de la glace 17 assurent une bonne étanchéité entre les deux éléments.The drawer 16 is held in place against the mirror 17 by the spring 36. In addition, the drawer is pressed against the ice 17 by the pressure difference and the liquid inlet flow when there is liquid flow. The flatness and surface finish of the drawer 16 and the window 17 ensure a good seal between the two elements.

Le tiroir 16 est soumis à un effort normal à la glace 17 égal à la surface d'appui multipliée par la différence de pression. L'effort pour déplacer le tiroir 16 est un effort transversal qui est égal à l'effort normal sur le tiroir 16 multiplié par le coefficient de frottement entre tiroir 16 et glace 17.The slide 16 is subjected to a normal force to the ice 17 equal to the bearing surface multiplied by the pressure difference. The force to move the slide 16 is a transverse force which is equal to the normal force on the slide 16 multiplied by the coefficient of friction between the slide 16 and the ice 17.

Le mouvement de la membrane 7 se trouve mécaniquement relié et synchronisé avec le déclenchement de la commutation. Le mouvement du tiroir de distribution 16 sur la glace 17 est généré par le mouvement de rotation du ressort de compression 36 qui « balance » les efforts tantôt vers la première position stable, tantôt vers la deuxième position stable, générant ainsi le déplacement du tiroir 16 par glissement.The movement of the membrane 7 is mechanically connected and synchronized with the triggering of the switching. The movement of the distribution slide 16 on the window 17 is generated by the rotational movement of the compression spring 36 which "balances" the forces sometimes towards the first stable position, sometimes towards the second stable position, thereby causing the slide 16 to move. by sliding.

Le sous-ensemble de dosage 21, relié à la membrane 7 via le poussoir A, aspire puis injecte directement le produit additif en sortie du doseur.The metering subassembly 21, connected to the membrane 7 via the pusher A, sucks and then directly injects the additive product at the outlet of the metering device.

La biellette 37, entraînée par le poussoir A, assure la compression du ressort 36 et la synchronisation du tiroir 16. En effet, dans certaines conditions limites (pression, débit) le ressort 36 peut ne pas être suffisant pour faire glisser le tiroir 16 sur lequel s'exerce une différence de pression (pression à l'entrée 14 du doseur moins pression à la sortie 18). L'assistance assurée par la biellette et les bras 45 constitue une synchronisation qui permet d'assurer la commutation dans ces conditions : le tiroir 16 est suffisamment poussé par les bras 45 vers la position intermédiaire, illustrée sur Fig. 10 et 11 et sur Fig. 4, mettant en communication toutes les chambres de la membrane avec la sortie et faisant chuter la différence de pression. Les efforts sur le tiroir 16 chutent et le ressort 36 fait poursuivre la course du tiroir 16 vers l'autre position stable entraînant la commutation.The rod 37, driven by the pusher A, provides the compression of the spring 36 and the synchronization of the slide 16. Indeed, under certain limiting conditions (pressure, flow) the spring 36 may not be sufficient to slide the slide 16 on which exerts a pressure difference (pressure at the inlet 14 of the metering unit less pressure at the outlet 18). The assistance provided by the rod and the arms 45 constitutes a synchronization which makes it possible to ensure switching in these conditions: the drawer 16 is sufficiently pushed by the arms 45 towards the intermediate position, illustrated on Fig. 10 and 11 and on Fig. 4 , putting all the diaphragm chambers in communication with the outlet and dropping the pressure difference. Efforts on the drawer 16 drop and the spring 36 continues the travel of the drawer 16 to the other stable position causing switching.

En cas de différence de pression et/ou débit trop élevé entre l'entrée et la sortie du doseur, ou en cas de rupture du ressort 36, le tiroir 16 est placé par les bras 45 dans la position intermédiaire illustrée sur Fig.4 avec mise en communication des deux chambres 5,6 avec la sortie, et donc de l'entrée 14 avec la sortie 18. Le débit de liquide principal n'est pas interrompu.In the event of a pressure difference and / or a too high flow rate between the inlet and the outlet of the metering device, or in the event of the spring 36 breaking, the drawer 16 is placed by the arms 45 in the intermediate position illustrated on Fig.4 with communication of the two chambers 5,6 with the output, and therefore the input 14 with the output 18. The main liquid flow is not interrupted.

Un doseur à membrane selon l'invention peut avoir un débit très réduit, par exemple de 2 à 3 litres / heure. Il peut fonctionner sous une faible pression d'eau correspondant par exemple à 1 à 2 mètres de dénivellation entre la source d'eau et le doseur, soit environ de 0.1 à 0.2 bar.A membrane metering device according to the invention can have a very low flow rate, for example from 2 to 3 liters / hour. It can operate under a low water pressure corresponding for example to 1 to 2 meters of difference in level between the water source and the doser, about 0.1 to 0.2 bar.

Un tel doseur permet de passer des eaux chargées en particules, notamment grâce au fonctionnement avec membrane.Such a dispenser makes it possible to pass water laden with particles, in particular thanks to membrane operation.

La plage de débit est très large pouvant aller de 2 - 3 l/h à 2000 l/h par exemple. La plage de pression de fonctionnement est également large, par exemple de 0.1 bar à 4 ou 5 bars.The flow range is very wide ranging from 2 - 3 l / h to 2000 l / h for example. The operating pressure range is also wide, for example from 0.1 bar to 4 or 5 bar.

Le dosage d'additif dans le liquide principal peut être de l'ordre de 2% et même de 5%.The dosage of additive in the main liquid can be of the order of 2% and even 5%.

A titre indicatif la cylindrée (débit par cycle de montée ou de descente) peut être d'environ 0,4 litre. Le diamètre de la membrane peut être de l'ordre de 110 mm et la course de 25 à 30 mm. Les orifices dans la plaque 17 peuvent avoir une section d'environ 1.3 cm2.As an indication, the cubic capacity (flow rate per rise or fall cycle) can be approximately 0.4 liters. The diameter of the membrane may be of the order of 110 mm and the stroke of 25 to 30 mm. The orifices in the plate 17 may have a section of approximately 1.3 cm 2 .

Le doseur à membrane avec commutation à tiroir de distribution permet de bien séparer le mécanisme de distribution de la partie motrice piston ou membrane. De ce fait, le démontage de ces éléments peut se faire indépendamment l'un de l'autre.The diaphragm dispenser with distribution slide switch makes it possible to separate the distribution mechanism from the piston or diaphragm drive part. As a result, the disassembly of these elements can be done independently of one another.
