Definitions
- a suction or ventilation installation generally comprises a suction box, a motorized suction turbine pneumatically connected to the outlet orifice of the box and at least one pipe, one end of which opens into the box.
- the suction assembly is disposed with its dust container in a technical room and the duct opening into the box is part of a network of ducts connecting the plant to suction sockets. arranged in the areas to be cleaned.
- Each suction port is closed by a hinged lid and can receive the rear end of a hose whose front end with a handle is adapted to receive a rigid tubular extension or suction members.
- EP 0 695 137 discloses a remote shutdown device for a suction or ventilation installation, comprising a suction duct and a shutter, the suction duct being intended to be connected to the installation suction or ventilation at a downstream end, in the direction of flow of the suction flow, and to be connected to a suction nozzle at an upstream end, the shutter being pivoted between a position of suction in which it does not close the conduit, so as to achieve suction at the tip, and a closed position, in which it closes the conduit, so as to generate a significant depression downstream of the device stop, intended to be detected by the suction or ventilation system to generate its stop.
- the user must reposition the shutter in its original position, that is to say in the suction position. If this operation is not performed, when restarting the installation, a depression is established again downstream of the shutter, so that the installation is stopped quickly. Such abnormal operation may eventually lead to deterioration of the installation.
- the invention aims to overcome this disadvantage by providing a remote shutdown device for a suction or ventilation system to prevent an unwanted shutdown of the installation during its restart.
- the invention relates to a remote stop device of the aforementioned type, characterized in that it comprises elastic return means, arranged to return the shutter from the closed position to the suction position when the depression downstream of the shutter is low, that is to say after stopping the suction or ventilation system, the shutter being actuated by actuating means on a first part of the race , so as to partially close the suction duct, and being designed to be actuated solely by the depression created in the suction duct downstream of the shutter, on a second stroke portion, so as to completely close the duct suction.
- the actuating means are for example in the form of a button.
- the return means thus make it possible to avoid the risk of manipulation error by the user by ensuring that the shutter is in the suction position when the system is restarted.
- the efforts required to operate the button are limited. Indeed, the actuation of the button is performed on a limited stroke, corresponding to the first part of the shutter stroke. In other words, the button does not accompany the shutter over its entire course. Thus, the effort to be applied to the button by the user, necessary to oppose the return force generated by the elastic return means, is substantially reduced. The ergonomics of the stop device is thus improved.
- the user first actuates the button so that the shutter is driven on the first part of its stroke, then the depression continues alone to cause the shutter on the remaining part of the race, until the complete shutter suction duct. As seen above, this last position is maintained until the stop of the installation.
- the stop device comprises a body having a wall delimiting the suction duct, and a portion forming an outgrowth with respect to the suction duct in which are housed, at least in part, the shutter, the means actuation and / or elastic return means.
- the body comprises an abutment against which the shutter is intended to come to bear in the closed position.
- the shutter position is precisely determined by the position of the stop.
- the stop is formed in the inner wall of the suction duct.
- the elastic return means comprise a tension spring comprising a first end connected to the body and a second end connected to the shutter.
- the stop device comprises stops arranged to delimit the stroke of the actuating means.
- the body is formed of two complementary molded parts, each delimiting a portion of the suction duct and the protrusion.
- the shutter comprises a closure wall having a shape complementary to that of the section of the suction duct, the wall having a concave face turned towards the downstream end of the suction duct, in a position of shutter.
- the suction duct has a substantially cylindrical shape, the shutter being arranged, because of the concavity of its closure wall, so that said wall is arranged, in position d shutter, in the extension of the inner wall of the suction duct.
- the suction pipe has a surface continuity when the shutter is in the suction position.
- the risk of clogging and loss of loads inside the duct are then limited.
- the actuating means are slidably mounted on the body and cooperate with the shutter so as to allow its rotation during the translation of the actuating means.
- the shutter comprises a heel intended to come into contact with a cam of the actuating means, during the rotation of the shutter on the first stroke portion, the heel being disengaged from the cam during the rotation of the shutter on the second part of the race.
- the shutter comprises a foot, having a generally elongated shape, attached to the closure wall, behind the concave face, the heel being disposed at the free end of the foot, the axis of rotation of the shutter being attached to the foot between the heel and the end of the foot attached to the closure wall.
- the second end of the elastic return means is connected to the shutter, at the heel or a zone located near it.
- the shutter has a center of gravity which is offset with respect to its center of rotation, so that, after actuation of the shutter on the first part of the race, the projection of the center gravity, on the axis passing through the center of rotation and oriented along the axis of the suction duct, is spaced from the center of rotation.
- the shutter comprises an arm driven in rotation by the actuating means, on the first part of the shutter stroke.
- the shutter comprises an arm rotated by the actuating means on the first part of the shutter stroke.
- the second end of the elastic return means is connected to the shutter, at the arm or an area located near it.
- Figure 1 is a schematic overview of a centralized suction.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the stop device according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a front view in the suction position of the shutter, one of the body parts having been removed;
- Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of the stop device, in the suction position of the shutter;
- Figure 5 is a view corresponding to Figure 3, in the intermediate position of the shutter
- Figure 6 is a view corresponding to Figures 3 and 5, in shutter position of the shutter

- the remote shut-off device is furthermore equipped with a tubular nozzle 13, intended for attaching suction accessories, with or without an extension tube.
- Figures 2 to 7 shows a remote stop device 12 for a suction or ventilation installation 1.
- the latter comprises a body 14 intended to form a handle and delimiting a suction duct 15, as well as a shutter 19 pivotally mounted on the body 14.
- the suction duct 15 is intended to be connected to the hose 10 at a downstream end 16, in the direction of flow of the suction flow F, and to be connected to the suction nozzle 13 at one end. upstream 17. More particularly, the downstream end 16 has an internal thread 18 intended to cooperate with a thread of the hose 10, the upstream end having external ribs for fixing the endpiece 13.
- the shutter 19 is pivotally mounted on the body 14, between a suction position (FIGS. 2 to 4) in which it does not close the duct 15, so as to be able to carry out a suction at the endpiece 13, and a closed position (FIG. 6), in which it closes the duct 15, so as to generate a significant depression downstream of the stop device 12, intended to be detected by the suction or ventilation installation 1 in order to generate his stop.
- the axis of rotation of the shutter 19 is designated by the reference A.
- the shutter 19 is actuated by a button 20 on a first stroke portion, so as to partially close the suction duct 15 (Figure 5), and is designed to be actuated only by the vacuum created in the suction duct 15 downstream of the shutter 19, on a second stroke portion, so as to completely close the suction duct 15 ( Figure 6).
- the structure of the body and the shutter will now be described in more detail.
- the body 14 is formed of two complementary molded parts, each delimiting a portion of the suction duct 15. For reasons of visibility, a part of the body has been removed in FIGS. 3 and 5 to 7.
- the body also delimits a housing. 23 for the button 20 and the shutter 19, each part of the body 14 forming part of said housing 23.
- the housing 23 forms, at least in part, an outgrowth with respect to the suction duct 15.
- the inner wall of the suction duct 15 further comprises a stop 24 against which the shutter 19 is intended to bear in the closed position.
- the shutter 19 has a closure wall 25 having a concave shape complementary to that of the section of the suction duct 15, as can be seen in FIG. 4. The concavity is turned towards the downstream end 16 of the suction duct 15, in the suction position of the shutter 19.
- the suction duct 15 also has a substantially cylindrical shape, the shutter 19 being arranged, because of the concavity of its closure wall 25, so that said wall is arranged, in the suction position of the shutter 19, in the extension of the inner wall of the suction duct 15, as appears more particularly in FIG. 4.
- the shutter 19 further comprises a foot 26, having a generally elongate shape, attached to the closure wall 25, behind the concave face.
- a heel 27 is disposed at the free end of the foot 26.
- the axis of rotation A of the shutter 19 is attached to the foot 26, between the heel 27 and the end of the foot attached to the closure wall 25.
- the heel 27 is intended to come into contact with a cam 28 formed on the button 20, during the rotation of the shutter 19 on the first stroke portion, the heel 27 being disengaged from the cam 28 during the rotation of the the shutter 19 on the second part of the race.
- the button 20 is slidably mounted on the body 14 and thus cooperates with the shutter 19 so as to allow its rotation during the translation of the button 20.
- the stroke of the button 20 is delimited by the stops 21, 22 provided on the body 14.
- the stop device 12 comprises resilient return means 29, arranged to return the shutter 19 from the closed position to the suction position, when the depression downstream of the shutter is low, that is, ie after stopping the suction or ventilation system 1.
- the elastic return means comprise a tension spring 29 comprising a first end connected to the body 14, on the downstream end 16 side thereof with respect to the shutter 19, and a second end connected to the shutter 19, at the heel 27 or an area located near it, the foot 26 then forming a lever arm.
- the shutter 19 partially closes the suction duct 15 and is subjected to a torque exerted by the depression established downstream of the shutter, on the side of the end 16 of the body 14. This torque reaches a value sufficient to oppose the return spring 29 so that the shutter 19 continues its pivotal movement under the action of the depression until it abuts against the stop 24 of the body 14.
- the duct 15 is completely closed and the value of the depression downstream of the shutter 19 increases rapidly until reaching a threshold value detected by the installation and triggering its shutdown.
- the effort required to operate the button 20 are limited. Indeed, the actuation of the button 20 is performed on a limited stroke and the button does not accompany the shutter 19 on the entire stroke of the latter. Therefore, the effort to be applied to the button by the user, necessary to oppose the return force generated by the elastic return means 29, is substantially reduced. The ergonomics of the stop device is thus improved.
- the depression downstream of the shutter 19 drops gradually to a threshold from which the return means 29 exert a greater torque on the shutter 19 that the depression itself.
- FIGS 8 to 10 show an alternative embodiment of the stop device. In order to facilitate understanding of the drawing, the same elements have been designated by the same references.
- the structure of the stop device differs in that the shutter 19 has a generally cylindrical or spherical shape and is pivotally mounted in a housing 30 of the body of complementary shape.
- the shutter has a through-hole 31 whose inner wall is located in line with that of the suction duct 15, in the suction position of the shutter 19, as can be seen in FIG. stop 12 has a structure similar to that of a ball valve.
- the shutter is designed so that its center of gravity G is offset from its center of rotation R.
- the shutter 19 is arranged so that, in the suction position, the projection of the center of gravity G, on the axis B passing through the center of rotation and oriented along the axis C of the suction duct 15, coinciding with the center of rotation R.
- the center of gravity G is located at the right of the center of rotation R of the shutter.
- the button 20 differs from that described with reference to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 7 in that it is actuated by pivoting relative to the body 14.
- the shutter 19 comprises an arm 32 coming into contact with the button 20 so as to be driven by it, on the first stroke portion of the shutter 19, the second end of the elastic return means 29 being linked. at the shutter, at the arm 32 or an area located near it.
- the actuation of the button 20 causes the shutter 19 to rotate on a first part of its stroke.
- the shutter thus partially closes the suction duct 15.
- the projection P of the center of gravity G is offset from the center of rotation R, upstream thereof. It should be noted that, according to another embodiment variant not shown, the shutter could be arranged so that the projection P is offset downstream of the center of rotation R.
