Description

La présente invention concerne un volet de désenfumage à portillon à installer dans un conduit de désenfumage, comprenant au moins un vantail qui est monté dans le cadre et qui, une fois installé, peut se déplacer dans le conduit de désenfumage entre une position fermée, dans laquelle le conduit est fermé, et une position ouverte, dans laquelle le conduit est ouvert, et qui comprend une plaque en matériau réfractaire qui s'étend essentiellement sur la totalité de la surface du vantail. Un tel volet de désenfumage est connu notamment du FR-A-2242845 . Des volets de ce type font normalement partie d'un système d'évacuation de fumées et de chaleur. Les volets sont normalement montés sur un mur ou au plafond. Ces systèmes d'évacuation sont surtout destinés au désenfumage mécanique de bâtiments dans le but de faciliter l'évacuation de personnes.The present invention relates to a smoke evacuation flap to be installed in a smoke exhaust duct, comprising at least one leaf which is mounted in the frame and which, once installed, can move in the smoke extraction duct between a closed position, in which the duct is closed, and an open position, in which the duct is open, and which comprises a refractory material plate which extends essentially over the entire surface of the leaf. Such a smoke evacuation component is known in particular from the FR-A-2242845 . Flaps of this type are normally part of a flue gas and heat system. Flaps are normally mounted on a wall or ceiling. These evacuation systems are mainly intended for the mechanical smoke extraction of buildings in order to facilitate the evacuation of people.

Un volet de désenfumage de ce type est normalement fermé et résiste au feu lorsqu'il se trouve dans la position fermée. Le volet est ouvert uniquement en cas d'incendie de manière à permettre une évacuation contrôlée des fumées. Le volet s'ouvre alors dans le conduit de désenfumage. En cas d'incendie, un système de commande ouvre uniquement les volets nécessaires pour assurer une évacuation des fumées. Les autres volets, qui ne peuvent pas contribuer à l'évacuation souhaitée, restent fermés et doivent alors résister au feu.A smoke evacuation flap of this type is normally closed and fire resistant when in the closed position. The shutter is open only in case of fire so as to allow a controlled evacuation of fumes. The shutter then opens in the smoke extraction duct. In the event of a fire, a control system only opens the flaps necessary to ensure a smoke evacuation. Other shutters, which can not contribute to the desired evacuation, remain closed and must withstand fire.

Toutefois, lorsque les volets existants se trouvent dans leur position fermée, on constate un trop gros volume de fuites d'air le long du vantail. Ces fuites entraînent des pertes de chaleur qui ne sont pas négligeables. Ces fuites nécessitent en outre de prévoir un ventilateur surdimensionné, ce qui entraîne une augmentation de la consommation d'énergie. Il est difficile d'installer des joints d'étanchéité à froid pour prévenir ces pertes dans la mesure où ces volets sont constitués de matériaux qui résistent à des températures élevées.However, when the existing flaps are in their closed position, there is too much volume of air leakage along the leaf. These leaks cause heat losses that are not negligible. These leaks also require an oversized fan, which leads to an increase in energy consumption. It is difficult to install cold seals to prevent these losses since these flaps are made of materials that withstand high temperatures.

L'objectif de l'invention consiste donc à fournir un volet de désenfumage qui, lorsqu'il se trouve dans sa position fermée, présente une meilleure étanchéité à l'air froid et à l'air chaud comparativement aux volets existants.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a smoke evacuation flap which, when in its closed position, has a better seal to cold air and hot air compared to existing flaps.

Etonnamment, cet objectif peut être atteint en réalisant un volet de désenfumage à portillon, comprenant un cadre pour installer le volet dans un conduit de désenfumage, comprenant au moins un vantail qui est monté dans le cadre et qui, une fois installé, peut se déplacer dans le conduit de désenfumage entre une position fermée, dans laquelle le conduit est fermé, et une position ouverte, dans laquelle le conduit est ouvert, et qui comprend une plaque en matériau réfractaire qui s'étend essentiellement sur la totalité de la surface du vantail, le cadre présente des profilés en aluminium servant à fixer le volet dans le conduit, le volet comprenant un ou plusieurs joint(s) qui, lorsque le vantail se trouve dans la position fermée, est (sont) positionnés entre les profilés en aluminium du cadre et le vantail, de manière à assurer l'étanchéité à l'air du volet lorsque ce dernier se trouve dans cette position fermée, le cadre comprenant du matériau réfractaire et le côté du conduit de désenfumage, les profilés en aluminium du cadre sont blindées par ledit matériau réfractaire du cadre.Surprisingly, this objective can be achieved by providing a smoke-evacuation flap door, comprising a frame for installing the flap in a smoke exhaust duct, comprising at least one leaf which is mounted in the frame and which, once installed, can move in the smoke exhaust duct between a closed position, in which the duct is closed, and an open position, in which the duct is open, and which comprises a refractory material plate which extends essentially over the entire surface of the leaf , the frame has aluminum profiles for fixing the shutter in the conduit, the shutter comprising one or more seal (s) which, when the leaf is in the closed position, is (are) positioned between the aluminum profiles of the frame and the leaf, so as to ensure airtightness of the shutter when the latter is in this closed position, the frame comprising refractory material and the side of the smoke exhaust duct, the aluminum profiles of the frame are shielded by said refractory material of the frame.

Ceci est étonnant dans la mesure où l'aluminium fond à des températures inférieures à celles auxquelles il est soumis en cas d'incendie. En combinant ces profilés avec la plaque en matériau réfractaire, il est cependant possible de fabriquer un volet qui résiste au feu selon la norme européenne EN 1366-10, bien que les profilés en aluminium fondent aux températures auxquelles le volet est soumis selon cette norme.This is surprising since aluminum melts at temperatures below those to which it is subjected in the event of a fire. By combining these profiles with the refractory plate, however, it is possible to manufacture a fire resistant shutter according to the European standard EN 1366-10, although the aluminum profiles melt at the temperatures to which the shutter is subjected according to this standard.

L'utilisation de profilés en aluminium, au lieu par exemple de l'acier dans les volets existants, facilite cependant l'introduction de joints d'étanchéité à froid, étant donné que l'aluminium peut être profilé assez facilement de telle sorte que des éléments de fixation soient formés pour les joints. Un joint de ce type peut par exemple être constitué de caoutchouc ou de silicone. Les profilés peuvent par exemple comporter des rainures dans lesquelles les joints peuvent être introduits, comme cela est bien connu pour les profilés en aluminium pour les portes et les fenêtres.The use of aluminum profiles, instead of for example steel in the existing flaps, however, facilitates the introduction of cold seals, since the aluminum can be shaped relatively easily so that fasteners are formed for the joints. A seal of this type may for example be made of rubber or silicone. The profiles may for example have grooves in which the seals can be introduced, as is well known for aluminum profiles for doors and windows.

Pour pouvoir se déplacer dans le conduit, le vantail peut être monté dans le cadre à l'aide d'une ou de plusieurs charnière(s). Le vantail peut alors pivoter dans le conduit. Un vantail qui peut se déplacer dans le conduit lui-même présente l'avantage que, après l'ouverture, le vantail ne constitue pas un obstacle dans les zones à travers lesquelles des personnes doivent être évacuées, contrairement à des vantaux qui s'ouvrent vers l'extérieur du conduit.To be able to move in the duct, the leaf can be mounted in the frame using one or more hinges (s). The leaf can then rotate in the duct. A leaf that can move in the duct itself has the advantage that, after opening, the leaf does not constitute an obstacle in the areas through which people must be evacuated, unlike leaves that open. towards the outside of the duct.

Un volet peut comprendre un vantail, mais peut également comprendre une pluralité de vantaux.A shutter may comprise a leaf, but may also include a plurality of leaves.

De préférence, ladite plaque en matériau réfractaire du vantail s'étend essentiellement sur l'extérieur du vantail.Preferably, said plate of refractory material of the leaf extends essentially on the outside of the leaf.

Le vantail comprend de préférence des profilés en aluminium qui s'étendent essentiellement sur le contour de ladite plaque en matériau réfractaire et les joints sont de préférence positionnés entre les profilés en aluminium du cadre et les profilés en aluminium du vantail.The leaf preferably comprises aluminum profiles which extend essentially over the contour of said refractory material plate and the joints are preferably positioned between the aluminum profiles of the frame and the aluminum profiles of the leaf.

Du côté du conduit de désenfumage, les profilés en aluminium du vantail sont de préférence blindées par ladite plaque en matériau réfractaire du vantail.On the side of the smoke evacuation duct, the aluminum profiles of the leaf are preferably shielded by said plate of refractory material of the leaf.

Selon une caractéristique préférée de l'invention, ladite plaque en matériau réfractaire est une plaque de silicate de calcium. Cette plaque de silicate de calcium peut être auto-clavées et peut éventuellement être renforcée par des fibres.According to a preferred feature of the invention, said refractory material plate is a calcium silicate plate. This calcium silicate plate can be self-claved and can optionally be reinforced with fibers.

Les profilés en aluminium d'un volet selon l'invention sont de préférence des profilés extrudés.The aluminum profiles of a shutter according to the invention are preferably extruded profiles.

Selon l'invention, il est particulièrement avantageux que le vantail comprenne une deuxième plaque en matériau réfractaire qui s'étend essentiellement sur la totalité de la surface du vantail, de manière à former un volet qui résiste encore davantage au feu.According to the invention, it is particularly advantageous that the leaf comprises a second refractory material plate which extends essentially over the entire surface of the leaf, so as to form a flap which is even more resistant to fire.

Cette deuxième plaque en matériau réfractaire est de préférence positionnée à une certaine distance de ladite première plaque en matériau réfractaire, de telle sorte que les plaques et les profilés en aluminium du vantail définissent un vide intérieur dans le vantail. Un tel vide forme une barrière isolante, qui favorise la performance de pare-feu et qui diminue davantage les pertes de chaleur indésirables.This second plate of refractory material is preferably positioned at a distance from said first plate of refractory material, so that the plates and the aluminum profiles of the leaf define an interior vacuum in the leaf. Such a vacuum forms an insulating barrier, which promotes firewall performance and further decreases unwanted heat loss.

Dans un volet de ce type selon l'invention, les profilés en aluminium du vantail sont de préférence positionnés essentiellement entre ladite première plaque et ladite deuxième plaque.In a shutter of this type according to the invention, the aluminum profiles of the leaf are preferably positioned substantially between said first plate and said second plate.

Dans le cas où un volet de ce type est équipé d'un mécanisme de serrure, ce mécanisme est de préférence agencé essentiellement entre ladite première plaque et ladite deuxième plaque, de telle sorte que ce mécanisme ne soit pas accessible depuis l'extérieur lorsque le volet se trouve dans la position fermée.In the case where a shutter of this type is equipped with a lock mechanism, this mechanism is preferably arranged substantially between said first plate and said second plate, so that this mechanism is not accessible from the outside when the shutter is in the closed position.

Ladite deuxième plaque en matériau réfractaire est par exemple une plaque de plâtre. Une plaque de plâtre de ce type peut éventuellement être renforcée par des fibres de verre.Said second refractory material plate is for example a plasterboard. A plasterboard of this type may optionally be reinforced by glass fibers.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le volet comprend au moins une barre qui est montée dans le cadre de manière à former un obstacle dans le conduit de désenfumage lorsque le vantail se trouve dans la position ouverte. Lorsque le vantail est ouvert et que les fumées sont évacuées, cet obstacle empêche que des objets ou des personnes puissent tomber dans le conduit.According to another characteristic of the invention, the flap comprises at least one bar which is mounted in the frame so as to form an obstacle in the smoke evacuation duct when the leaf is in the open position. When the leaf is opened and the fumes are evacuated, this obstacle prevents objects or people from falling into the duct.

De préférence, une ou plusieurs barre(s) est (sont) prévue(s) dans le cadre, formant une grille qui constitue un obstacle dans le conduit.Preferably, one or more bar (s) is (are) provided in the frame, forming a grid which constitutes an obstacle in the conduit.

Dans un volet de ce type, le vantail comporte de préférence au moins une rainure dans laquelle ladite barre est logée lorsque le vantail se trouve dans la position fermée.In a flap of this type, the leaf preferably comprises at least one groove in which said bar is housed when the leaf is in the closed position.

Dans les volets existants, il subsiste toujours une espace entre une grille de ce type et le vantail, espace dans lequel de la poussière peut s'accumuler. En insérant des barres de ce type dans des rainures prévues dans le vantail, un volet peut être intégré dans un mur ou dans un plafond, non seulement d'une façon esthétique, mais aussi sans laisser aucune ouverture entre le vantail et les barres ou la grille.In the existing shutters, there is always a space between a grid of this type and the leaf, space in which dust can accumulate. By inserting bars of this type in grooves provided in the leaf, a shutter can be integrated into a wall or a ceiling, not only in an aesthetic manner, but also without leaving any opening between the leaf and the bars or the door. wire rack.

Selon une forme préférée d'un volet selon l'invention, le volet comprend un ou plusieurs joint(s) intumescent(s) qui entoure(n)t au moins partiellement ladite première plaque en matériau réfractaire.According to a preferred form of a shutter according to the invention, the flap comprises one or more intumescent gasket (s) surrounding (n) at least partially said first plate of refractory material.

De préférence, un volet selon l'invention comprend en outre un ou plusieurs joint(s) intumescent(s) qui entoure(nt) au moins partiellement le cadre.Preferably, a shutter according to the invention further comprises one or more intumescent gasket (s) surrounding (s) at least partially the frame.

Ces joints aident à assurer que le volet résiste au feu dans le cas où ce volet reste fermé dans une situation d'incendie.These seals help to ensure that the shutter resists fire in the event that this shutter remains closed in a fire situation.

La présente invention va maintenant être expliquée d'une façon plus détaillée en décrivant plusieurs volets préférés selon l'invention. Cette description a uniquement pour but de fournir un exemple illustratif de l'invention et de révéler d'autres avantages et détails de ces volets selon l'invention, et elle ne doit en aucun cas être interprétée comme une limitation du domaine d'utilisation de l'invention ou des droits de brevet demandés dans les revendications.The present invention will now be explained in more detail by describing several preferred flaps of the invention.

La manière avec laquelle il est possible d'adapter le volet illustré (1) pour obtenir un volet (1) de ce type comprenant plusieurs vantaux (3) apparaîtra clairement à l'homme du métier.A leaf (3) is mounted in this frame (5) by means of hinges (13) so that the leaf (3) can pivot in the smoke extraction duct (2) between a closed position in which the duct (2) is closed, as shown in the Figure 1 , and an open position, in which the conduit (2) is open, as illustrated in the Figure 2 . A flap (1) may comprise a single leaf (3), as illustrated, but may also include several leaves (3). The manner in which it is possible to adapt the illustrated flap (1) to obtain a flap (1) of this type comprising several leaves (3) will be clear to the skilled person.

Le vantail illustré (3) comprend une première plaque en matériau réfractaire (4), qui s'étend essentiellement sur la totalité de la surface du vantail (3). Cette première plaque (4) peut par exemple être constituée de silicate de calcium. Ce silicate de calcium peut être auto-clavé, et peut être renforcé par des fibres. Cette plaque (4) pourrait également être constituée d'un autre matériau réfractaire.The illustrated leaf (3) comprises a first plate of refractory material (4), which extends essentially over the entire surface of the leaf (3). This first plate (4) may for example be made of calcium silicate. This calcium silicate can be self-clad, and can be fiber reinforced. This plate (4) could also be made of another refractory material.

Une deuxième plaque en matériau réfractaire (9) du vantail (3) s'étend également essentiellement sur la totalité de la surface du vantail (3). Cette deuxième plaque en matériau réfractaire (9) est positionnée à une certaine distance de la première plaque (4). Cette deuxième plaque (9) est par exemple une plaque de plâtre. Une telle plaque de plâtre peut éventuellement être renforcée par des fibres de verre. Cette plaque (9) pourrait également être constituée d'un autre matériau réfractaire.A second plate of refractory material (9) of the leaf (3) also extends substantially over the entire surface of the leaf (3). This second refractory material plate (9) is positioned at a distance from the first plate (4). This second plate (9) is for example a plasterboard. Such a plasterboard may optionally be reinforced by glass fibers. This plate (9) could also be made of another refractory material.

Le vantail (3) comprend en plus des profilés en aluminium (7), qui s'étendent essentiellement sur le contour desdites plaques en matériau réfractaires (4, 9), et qui sont positionnés essentiellement entre lesdites plaques (4, 9), de telle sorte que les plaques (4, 9) et les profilés (7) du vantail (3) définissent un vide intérieur (10) dans le vantail (3). Ces profilés en aluminium (7) peuvent être extrudés. Un mécanisme de serrure (11) pour le volet (1) est en outre agencé entre lesdites plaques (4, 9), de telle sorte que ce mécanisme (11) ne soit pas accessible depuis l'extérieur lorsque le volet (1) se trouve dans la position fermée. L'actionnement du vantail (3) peut être télécommandé et/ou auto-commandé à l'aide de ce mécanisme de serrure (11).The leaf (3) further comprises aluminum profiles (7), which extend essentially on the contour of said refractory material plates (4, 9), and which are positioned substantially between said plates (4, 9), such that the plates (4, 9) and the profiles (7) of the leaf (3) define an interior void (10) in the leaf (3). These aluminum profiles (7) can be extruded. A lock mechanism (11) for the flap (1) is further arranged between said plates (4, 9), so that this mechanism (11) is not accessible from the outside when the flap (1) is found in the closed position. Actuation of the leaf (3) can be remotely controlled and / or self-controlled using this lock mechanism (11).

Le volet (1) comprend un joint (8) qui, lorsque le vantail (3) se trouve dans la position fermée, est positionné entre les profilés en aluminium (6) du cadre (5) et les profilés en aluminium du vantail (3), de manière à assurer l'étanchéité à l'air froid du volet (1) lorsque ce dernier se trouve dans cette position fermée. A cette fin, les profilés en aluminium (6) du cadre (5) comportent des rainures dans lesquelles le joint (8) est introduit. Le joint (8) peut être constitué de caoutchouc ou de silicone.The shutter (1) comprises a seal (8) which, when the leaf (3) is in the closed position, is positioned between the aluminum profiles (6) of the frame (5) and the aluminum profiles of the leaf (3). ), so as to seal the cold air shutter (1) when the latter is in this closed position. To this end, the aluminum profiles (6) of the frame (5) have grooves in which the seal (8) is introduced. The seal (8) may be made of rubber or silicone.

Les profilés en aluminium (6, 7) assurent la rigidité du volet (1). Comme ils sont extrudés, il est plus facile d'y introduire des joints (8), des barres (12), des charnières (13), etc., comparativement, par exemple, à des profilés en acier. Bien que ces profilés en aluminium (6, 7) fondent aux températures auxquelles ils sont soumis en cas d'incendie, le volet (1) résiste au feu, grâce aux éléments en matériau réfractaire (4, 9, 17), et grâce aux joints intumescents (14, 15) qui sont prévus en supplément dans le volet (1).The aluminum profiles (6, 7) ensure the rigidity of the shutter (1). As they are extruded, it is easier to introduce seals (8), bars (12), hinges (13), etc., compared, for example, with steel profiles. Although these aluminum profiles (6, 7) melt at the temperatures to which they are subjected in the event of fire, the shutter (1) is fire-resistant, thanks to the elements made of refractory material (4, 9, 17), and thanks to intumescent joints (14, 15) which are additionally provided in the flap (1).

Plusieurs de ces joints intumescents (14) sont placés sur les bords de la première plaque réfractaire (4) et s'étendent, lorsque le volet (1) se trouve dans la position fermée, entre le vantail (3) et le cadre (5). Plusieurs autres de ces joints intumescents (15) sont positionnés entre le cadre (5) et le mur ou le plafond (16). Ces joints intumescents (14, 15) sont positionnés de telle sorte qu'ils aident à assurer que le volet (1) résiste au feu dans le cas où le volet (1) reste fermé en cas d'incendie.Several of these intumescent joints (14) are placed on the edges of the first refractory plate (4) and extend, when the shutter (1) is in the closed position, between the leaf (3) and the frame (5). ). Several other of these intumescent joints (15) are positioned between the frame (5) and the wall or ceiling (16). These intumescent seals (14, 15) are positioned such that they help to ensure that the shutter (1) resists fire in the case where the flap (1) remains closed in case of fire.

Pour empêcher que des objets ou des personnes puissent tomber dans le conduit (2), le volet comprend plusieurs barres (12) qui sont montées en parallèle dans le cadre (5), formant une grille qui constitue un obstacle dans le conduit de désenfumage (2) lorsque le vantail (3) se trouve dans la position ouverte. La deuxième plaque (9) du vantail (3) comporte des rainures correspondantes, dans lesquelles lesdites barres (12) sont logées lorsque le vantail (3) se trouve dans la position fermée.To prevent objects or persons from falling into the duct (2), the flap comprises a plurality of bars (12) which are connected in parallel in the frame (5), forming a grid which constitutes an obstacle in the smoke extraction duct ( 2) when the leaf (3) is in the open position. The second plate (9) of the leaf (3) has corresponding grooves in which said bars (12) are accommodated when the leaf (3) is in the closed position.

Le volet (1) selon l'invention est particulièrement approprié pour faire partie d'un système d'évacuation de fumées et de chaleur, qui est destiné au désenfumage mécanique de bâtiments, dans le but de faciliter l'évacuation de personnes.The shutter (1) according to the invention is particularly suitable for being part of a smoke and heat evacuation system, which is intended for the mechanical smoke extraction of buildings, in order to facilitate the evacuation of people.
