Description
La présente invention concerne un élément à buse rotative permettant de projeter un liquide tel que de l'eau, sous forme de nuage. Typiquement, un tel élément peut être utilisé sur un système d'extinction d'incendies de type Sprinkler, pour créer un nuage d'eau froide. Bien entendu, l'élément à buse rotative n'est pas limité au domaine des installations d'extinction d'incendie et peut être employé dans tout autre domaine technique dans lequel la génération d'un nuage de liquide, comme de l'eau, est recherchée.

The
Un but de l'invention est de proposer un système simple et fiable qui permette de générer de tels nuages.
Ce but est atteint par un élément selon la revendication 1.An object of the invention is to provide a simple and reliable system that can generate such clouds.
This object is achieved by an element according to claim 1.
L'élément selon l'invention comprend un corps principal sur lequel est monté une buse rotative qui entre en rotation afin de créer le nuage du liquide distribué, comme par exemple de l'eau, comme il sera décrit ci-dessous en référence aux figures annexées.The element according to the invention comprises a main body on which is mounted a rotating nozzle which rotates in order to create the cloud of the liquid dispensed, such as water, as will be described below with reference to FIGS. attached.
L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description de modes d'exécution et des figures qui l'accompagnent dans lesquelles

figure 5 illustre une vue en perspective d'un élément selon un deuxième mode d'exécution; et - La
figure 6 illustre une autre vue en perspective de l'élément selon le deuxième mode d'exécution.

figure 2 illustrates a sectional view of the element; - The
figure 3 illustrates an overview of the element; - The
figure 4 illustrates a sectional view of the ducts of the rotating nozzle; - The

Dans les
Tant qu'il n'y a pas de feu détecté (dans le cas où le système est utilisé dans une installation anti-incendie), de l'air sous pression arrive dans le corps 2 par les entrées 6 et traverse la partie supérieure de la buse 3 dans un trou 7 en appuyant sur un piston de blocage 8. Le piston est maintenu en position de blocage par une capsule 9.As long as there is no fire detected (in the case where the system is used in a fire-fighting installation), pressurized air enters the
Dès qu'un feu est détecté, la capsule 9 saute et libère la course du piston 8 qui descend en raison de la pression de l'air. Cet air sous pression peut ainsi pénétrer dans les conduits 10 de la buse tournante 3 (voir aussi les
En parallèle, la chute de pression due à l'évacuation de l'air par les sorties 11 va ouvrir une vanne et libérer l'arrivée d'eau qui va pénétrer dans le corps 2 par les entrées 12 (voir
Les canaux étant bouchés à leur extrémité éloignée du corps, l'eau sous pression est évacuée par les petites buses 16 (
De préférence, afin de maintenir une pression constante dans la buse et un débit identique au niveau des petites buses 16, on utilise un détendeur couplé au dispositif. Ainsi, la buse rotative crée un nuage d'eau par rotation générée par l'air et pulvérisation de l'eau sortant des buses 16.Preferably, in order to maintain a constant pressure in the nozzle and an identical flow rate at the level of the small nozzles 16, an expander coupled to the device is used. Thus, the rotating nozzle creates a cloud of water by rotation generated by the air and spraying water leaving the nozzles 16.
Bien entendu, la buse rotative peut comprendre plus de deux branches comme représenté dans les
Dans les
Comme indiqué ci-dessus, lors de l'utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention dans un réseau fragmenté avec plusieurs buses rotatives réparties, on emploie également un détendeur (ou autre système équivalent) afin de maintenir une pression constante au niveau des petites buses 16.As indicated above, when using the device according to the invention in a fragmented network with several distributed rotating nozzles, a pressure reducer (or other equivalent system) is also used in order to maintain a constant pressure at the level of the small nozzles 16 .
Les modes d'exécution donnés le sont à titre d'exemples non-limitatifs et des variations sont possibles en utilisant des moyens équivalents. On peut notamment utiliser d'autres moyens de détection que la capsule 9 pour bloquer et libérer le piston 8.The given embodiments are as non-limiting examples and variations are possible using equivalent means. It is possible in particular to use other detection means than the capsule 9 to block and release the
Le principe de l'invention peut être utilisé dans n'importe quelle installation, et pas seulement pour combattre un incendie. Dans cette application, on peut utiliser plusieurs buses selon l'invention réparties géographiquement dans des lieux à protéger. On peut également l'utiliser avec d'autres liquides que de l'eau et aussi un autre gaz que de l'air en fonction de l'application souhaitée.The principle of the invention can be used in any installation, not just to fight a fire. In this application, one can use several nozzles according to the invention geographically distributed in places to protect. It can also be used with other liquids than water and also gas other than air depending on the desired application.
Dans le cadre d'une autre application, on peut remplacer la capsule 9 par un autre moyen de retenue équivalent pour maintenir le piston de blocage en position, et le libérer lorsque cela est souhaité, déclenchant de cette façon le mécanisme et la rotation de la buse.As part of another application, the capsule 9 may be replaced by another equivalent retaining means to hold the locking piston in position and release it when desired, thereby triggering the mechanism and the rotation of the piston. nozzle.
Le système selon l'invention peut être fabriqué dans n'importe quelle matière qui soit adaptée à l'usage prévu: métal, matière synthétique etc.The system according to the invention can be manufactured in any material which is adapted to the intended use: metal, synthetic material, etc.
