Description

Elément de couverture avec module photovoltaïque intégré  Cover element with integrated photovoltaic module
La présente invention concerne le domaine des solutions photovoltaïques et plus particulièrement un élément de couverture comprenant un bac de couverture, un module photovoltaïque disposé sur une partie du bac de couverture, des moyens de solidarisation du module photovoltaïque sur le bac de couverture. The present invention relates to the field of photovoltaic solutions and more particularly to a cover element comprising a cover tank, a photovoltaic module disposed on a portion of the cover tank, means for securing the photovoltaic module to the cover tank.
La crise énergétique et les considérations environnementales poussent les industriels à trouver des solutions économes en énergie et respectueuses de l'environnement. Les solutions photovoltaïques peuvent participer à cet effort en apportant des solutions innovantes dans de nombreux domaines.  The energy crisis and environmental considerations are driving manufacturers to find energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. Photovoltaic solutions can contribute to this effort by providing innovative solutions in many areas.
Dans le domaine du bâtiment, des bacs de couverture sont utilisés pour la couverture ou le bardage. Ces bacs de couverture peuvent être réalisés en divers matériaux métalliques ou non métalliques. Le matériau le plus fréquemment utilisé est l'acier. L'étanchéité, le faible poids, la facilité de mise en œuvre et le prix de ces bacs de couvertures en font une solution idéale pour les grandes surfaces à couvrir rapidement, typiquement les usines, magasins et bâtiments agricoles.  In the building sector, roof boxes are used for roofing or cladding. These cover bins can be made of various metallic or non-metallic materials. The most frequently used material is steel. The tightness, the low weight, the ease of implementation and the price of these boxes of covers make it an ideal solution for large areas to cover quickly, typically factories, shops and farm buildings.
Pour des raisons d'étanchéités les bacs de couverture se fixent sur leurs sommets d'ondes à l'aide d'un système de fixation.  For reasons of sealing, the cover tanks are fixed on their tops with a fixing system.
Typiquement, un bac de couverture est posé sur au moins trois appuis appelés pannes. Les distances entre ces pannes sont spécifiques à chaque bâtiment, et parfois le montage des pannes est tel que ces distances ne sont pas toutes égales sur un même toit, et ceci avec des variations pouvant atteindre plusieurs centimètres.  Typically, a cover tank is placed on at least three supports called failures. The distances between these failures are specific to each building, and sometimes the assembly of the failures is such that these distances are not all equal on the same roof, and this with variations of up to several centimeters.
La plupart des solutions employées pour fixer des modules photovoltaïques sur des bacs de couverture utilisent des rails aluminium.  Most of the solutions used to attach photovoltaic modules to cover bins use aluminum rails.
Ces ra ils permettent de fa ire l ' interface entre les bacs de couverture, dont le pas des ondes présente une valeur différente d'un bâtiment à un autre, de même que les dimensions des modules photovoltaïques qui sont spécifiques d'un modèle à un autre.  These rays allow the interface between the cover bins, whose wave pitch has a different value from one building to another, as well as the dimensions of the photovoltaic modules which are specific to a single model. other.
Ces modules photovoltaïques se montent donc après montage des bacs en toiture. Ce type de solution présente l'avantage de procurer une réelle souplesse pour le montage de tous les modules photovoltaïques sur n'importe quel bâtiment existant ou en construction, par contre elle présente au moins trois inconvénients : These photovoltaic modules are therefore mounted after mounting the bins on the roof. This type of solution has the advantage of providing real flexibility for mounting all photovoltaic modules on any what building exists or under construction, however it has at least three disadvantages:
- les rails installés en toiture ajoutent du poids devant être supporté par le bâtiment,  - the rails installed on the roof add weight to be supported by the building,
- la main d'œuvre pour le montage de l'ensemble est significative, et  - the manpower for assembly of the whole is significant, and
- le nombre de fixations à installer sur les bacs de couverture ainsi que le mode de montage qui est spécifique pour chaque bâtiment en fonction des conditions climatiques du lieu d'installation, comme par exemple les charges de neige et l'exposition aux vents, entraînent des risques d'erreurs et ou de dérive allant à encontre du respect des prescriptions de montage données par les constructeurs augmentant les risques de sinistre et notamment d'étanchéité.  - the number of fasteners to be installed on the roofing bins as well as the mounting method that is specific for each building depending on the climatic conditions of the installation site, such as snow loads and exposure to the wind, risks of errors and drifting against compliance with assembly requirements given by manufacturers increasing the risk of damage and in particular leakage.
Dans le cas où l'on souhaiterait prémonter des modules photovoltaïques sur des bacs de couverture, les modules photovoltaïques comportent bien souvent des dimensions standards qui nécessitent de trouver un compromis entre le choix des distances séparant les pannes et l'accès entre les modules pour permettre la fixation du bac de couverture sur les pannes.  In the case where it is desired to premount photovoltaic modules on cover tanks, photovoltaic modules often have standard dimensions that require to find a compromise between the choice of distances between failures and access between modules to allow fixing the cover tray on the purlins.
Cela va à encontre de l'optimisation du taux d'occupation des toitures avec des modules photovoltaïques.  This goes against optimizing the occupancy rate of roofs with photovoltaic modules.
Au final, le générateur photovoltaïque construit et livré au client final n'est pas aussi puissant qu'il pourrait l'être compte tenu de la taille de la couverture.  In the end, the photovoltaic generator built and delivered to the end customer is not as powerful as it could be given the size of the coverage.
La présente invention a pour but de résoudre tout ou partie des inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.  The present invention aims to solve all or part of the disadvantages mentioned above.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un élément de couverture comprenant un bac de couverture, au moins un module photovoltaïque disposé sur une partie du bac de couverture, des moyens de solidarisation du module photovoltaïque sur le bac de couverture, caractérisé en ce que les moyens de solidarisation comprennent des moyens d'articulation permettant au module photovoltaïque d'être mobile depuis une première position dite de fermeture dans laquelle la partie du bac de couverture est recouverte par le module photovoltaïque jusqu'à une deuxième position dite d'ouverture dans laquelle la partie du bac de couverture est apparente.  For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is a cover element comprising a cover tank, at least one photovoltaic module disposed on a portion of the cover tank, means for securing the photovoltaic module to the cover tank, characterized in that that the securing means comprise hinge means allowing the photovoltaic module to be mobile from a first so-called closing position in which the portion of the cover tray is covered by the photovoltaic module to a second so-called opening position wherein the portion of the cover pan is apparent.
Cette disposition permet de supprimer les contraintes liées à la distance entre les pannes et permet la fixation du bac de couverture nervuré sur les ondes se trouvant sous le module photovoltaïque lorsqu'il est dans sa position de fermeture. Ainsi, la mobilité du module photovoltaïque rend toujours possible l'accès à la partie du bac de couverture disposée sous le module photovoltaïque. This arrangement makes it possible to eliminate the constraints related to the distance between the purlins and allows the attachment of the ribbed cover box on the waves beneath the photovoltaic module when in its closed position. Thus, the mobility of the photovoltaic module always makes it possible to access the part of the cover tray disposed under the photovoltaic module.
Selon un mode de réal isation, les moyens d'articulation et les moyens de solidarisation sont situés sur une même onde du bac de couverture.  According to a mode of real isation, the hinge means and the securing means are located on the same wave of the cover tray.
Cette disposition permet d'ouvrir le module photovoltaïque selon une direction transversale à celle du rampant.  This arrangement makes it possible to open the photovoltaic module in a direction transverse to that of the rampant.
Selon un mode de réalisation, les moyens de solidarisation comprennent un dispositif de verrouillage dans la première position.  According to one embodiment, the securing means comprise a locking device in the first position.
Cette disposition empêche le module photovoltaïque de passer involontairement de sa première vers sa deuxième position et de sécuriser l'accès au câblage à l'arrière du module photovoltaïque.  This arrangement prevents the photovoltaic module from involuntarily switching from its first to its second position and securing access to the wiring at the rear of the photovoltaic module.
Selon le même mode de réalisation, le dispositif de verrouillage dans la première position est situé sur une autre onde que celle où sont situés les moyens d'articulation.  According to the same embodiment, the locking device in the first position is located on a wave other than that where the hinge means are located.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, les moyens d'articulation des moyens de solidarisation sont situés sur des ondes différentes du bac de couverture.  According to another embodiment, the articulation means of the securing means are located on different waves of the cover tray.
Cette disposition permet d'ouvrir le module photovoltaïque selon une direction longitudinale à celle du rampant.  This arrangement makes it possible to open the photovoltaic module in a longitudinal direction to that of the rampant.
Selon u n mode de réal isation , les moyens de solidarisation comprennent un dispositif de verrouillage dans la deuxième position.  According to a mode of real isation, the securing means comprise a locking device in the second position.
Cette disposition empêche le module photovoltaïque de passer involontairement de sa deuxième vers sa première position, par exemple sous l'action du vent et prévient ainsi le risque de blessure de l'opérateur ainsi que le risque de détérioration du module dû à un choc.  This arrangement prevents the photovoltaic module from involuntarily passing from its second to its first position, for example under the action of the wind and thus prevents the risk of injury to the operator as well as the risk of damage to the module due to an impact.
Selon un mode de réalisation, les moyens de solidarisation sont collés sur le bac de couverture.  According to one embodiment, the securing means are glued to the cover tray.
Cette disposition permet de conserver intacte l'étanchéité du bac de couverture.  This arrangement makes it possible to keep intact the watertightness of the cover tank.
Selon le même mode de réalisation, les moyens de solidarisation sont collés au sommet des ondes du bac de couverture.  According to the same embodiment, the securing means are glued to the top of the waves of the cover tray.
Cette disposition permet de mettre la colle à l'abri de l'écoulement des eaux de pluie pérennisant ainsi le collage. Selon un mode de réal isation , le module photovoltaïque est amovible. This arrangement makes it possible to protect the glue from the flow of rainwater thus perpetuating the bonding. According to a mode of real isation, the photovoltaic module is removable.
Cette disposition permet de remplacer uniquement le module en cas de panne de celui-ci. De plus, lors du remplacement du module la surface recouverte assure toujours sa fonction d'étanchéité.  This provision allows to replace only the module in case of failure thereof. Moreover, when replacing the module the covered surface still ensures its sealing function.
Selon un mode de réal isation , les moyens de solidarisation comprennent un dispositif de levage.  According to one embodiment, the securing means comprise a lifting device.
Cette disposition permet une manipulation aisée de l'élément de recouvrement par des machines de levage et permettant également de disposer d'éléments de couverture plus lourds équipés d'un bac de couverture comprenant u ne surface plus importante recouverte par des modules photovoltaïques.  This arrangement allows easy handling of the covering element by lifting machines and also allows for heavier cover elements equipped with a cover tray comprising a larger surface covered by photovoltaic modules.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le bac de couverture se présente sous la forme d'un bac sandwich comprenant une isolation thermique, par exemple du polyuréthane expansé, de la laine de roche ou du polystyrène.  According to one embodiment, the cover pan is in the form of a sandwich pan comprising a thermal insulation, for example expanded polyurethane, rock wool or polystyrene.
Cette disposition évite de réaliser l'isolement thermique en situation ce qui est plus fastidieux.  This arrangement avoids thermal isolation in situation which is more tedious.
Selon un moyen de réalisation, les moyens de solidarisation sont pré-percés d'un ou plusieurs trous.  According to one embodiment, the securing means are pre-drilled with one or more holes.
Cette disposition permet le passage et le vissage d'une vis ou d'un autre élément de fixation équivalent au travers du trou ayant la meilleure position sur le moyen de solidarisation et permet ainsi d'assurer la fixation de l'élément de couverture sur une panne du bâtiment qui se situerait en dessous du moyen de solidarisation considéré.  This arrangement allows the passage and the screwing of a screw or other equivalent fastener through the hole having the best position on the securing means and thus ensures the fixing of the cover element on a failure of the building that would be below the means of connection considered.
Selon un mode de réalisation, le bac de couverture comprend des dimensions spécifiques, par exemple un pas entre ondes plus petit et/ou une hauteur d'onde plus grande.  According to one embodiment, the cover pan has specific dimensions, for example a pitch between smaller waves and / or a larger wave height.
Cette disposition permet d'améliorer la ventilation sous le module photovoltaïque ainsi que de rigidifier le bac de couverture et d'augmenter les portées entre les pannes du bâtiment, du module photovoltaïque ainsi constitué.  This arrangement makes it possible to improve the ventilation under the photovoltaic module as well as to stiffen the cover tank and to increase the ranges between the failures of the building, of the photovoltaic module thus constituted.
La présente invention a également pour objet un bac de couverture standard ou éventuellement particulier comportant des dimensions spécifiques destiné à prolonger un élément de toiture selon l'invention comportant lui aussi ces mêmes dimensions standards ou spécifiques. De toute façon, l'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, des éléments de couverture selon l'invention.

L'ensemble des figures et des exemples d'applications se rapportent à un élément de couverture 1 de toit, cependant sans sortir du cadre de l'invention ceux-ci peuvent être appliqués à un élément de couverture de la paroi d'un bâtiment. Comme illustré schématiquement aux figures 1 à 3, un élément de couverture 1 prémonté comprend principalement un bac de couverture 3 et un ou plusieurs modules photovoltaïques 2 disposés sur une ou plusieurs p a rties de ce bac de couverture 3. Ce ou ces modules photovoltaïques 2 peuvent, suivant deux variantes, présenter un cadre périphérique ou être dépourvus de cadre. All the figures and examples of applications relate to a roof covering element 1, however without departing from the scope of the invention these may be applied to a roofing element of the wall of a building. As illustrated schematically in FIGS. 1 to 3, a pre-assembled cover element 1 mainly comprises a cover tank 3 and one or more photovoltaic modules 2 arranged on one or more areas of this cover tank 3. This or these photovoltaic modules 2 can , according to two variants, present a peripheral frame or be devoid of frame.
Le bac de couverture 3 est réalisé en acier.  The cover tray 3 is made of steel.
Néanmoins, celui-ci peut être réal isé d an s d 'autres matériaux adaptés aux divers modes de réalisation décrits. Ces modules photovoltaïques 2 sont généralement montés de façon irréversible su r l e bac de couverture 3 à l 'a id e d e moyens de solidarisation 7 pouvant être constitués par des pattes de fixation maintenues pa r d es vi s traversa nt l e bac de couverture 3 et serrant le module photovoltaïque 2 à rencontre du bac de couverture 3. Nevertheless, it can be made from other materials adapted to the various embodiments described. These photovoltaic modules 2 are generally mounted irreversibly on the cover tank 3 with the securing means 7 which can be constituted by fastening tabs held through the cover tray 3 and tightening the cover. photovoltaic module 2 against the cover tank 3.
L'ensemble est disposé sur des pannes 4 servant de support à l'ensemble de l'élément de couverture 1 .  The assembly is arranged on purlins 4 serving as a support for the whole of the cover element 1.
Typiquement, com pte ten u de ses d i men s ion s , un bac de couverture 3 repose sur au moins trois pannes 4. Un élément de couverture 1 prémonté selon l'état de la technique, illustré à la figure 1 , doit donc prévoir un agencement spécifiq ue d es mod u les photovoltaïq u es 2 su r le bac de couverture 3 afin que les écarts 5 entre les modules photovoltaïques 2 soient suffisants pour le passage de moyens de fixations (non illustrées) du bac de couverture 3 sur une panne 4 et également prévoir un positionnement adéquat de ceux-ci pour que ces écarts coïncident avec l'emplacement des pannes 4.  Typically, as a result of its di sions, a cover tray 3 rests on at least three failures 4. A pre-assembled cover element 1 according to the state of the art, illustrated in FIG. a specific arrangement of photovoltaic modules 2 on the cover tray 3 so that the gaps 5 between the photovoltaic modules 2 are sufficient for the passage of fastening means (not shown) of the cover tray 3 on a failure 4 and also provide an adequate positioning thereof for these differences coincide with the location of failures 4.
Ces fixations sont généralement constituées par des tire-fond, vis, rivets ou similaires associés à des pièces appelés « cavaliers » disposés pour des raisons d'étanchéité sur le sommet d'une onde 6 du bac de couverture 3.  These fasteners are generally constituted by bolts, screws, rivets or the like associated with parts called "jumpers" arranged for sealing reasons on the top of a wave 6 of the cover tray 3.
Sur un élément de couverture 1 selon l'invention, comme cela est illustré aux figures 2 et 3, la disposition des modules photovoltaïques 2 sur le bac de couverture 3 n'est plus essentielle pour assurer la fixation de l'élément de couverture 1 sur les pannes 4.  On a cover element 1 according to the invention, as illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3, the arrangement of the photovoltaic modules 2 on the cover tank 3 is no longer essential to ensure the fixing of the cover element 1 on breakdowns 4.
En effet, les moyens de solidarisation 7 comprennent des moyens d'articulation 8 permettant aux modules photovoltaïques 2 d'être mobiles depuis une première position P1 dite de fermeture dans laquelle les parties du bac de couverture 3 sur laquelle sont disposées les modules photovoltaïques 2 sont recouvertes par les modules photovoltaïques 2 jusqu'à une deuxième position P2 dite d'ouverture illustrée par la position du module photovoltaïque 2 se trouvant en position centrale à la figure 3, dans laquelle les parties du bac de couverture 3 précédemment recouvertes par les modules photovoltaïques 2 sont apparentes.  Indeed, the securing means 7 comprise hinge means 8 enabling the photovoltaic modules 2 to be mobile from a first so-called closing position P1 in which the parts of the cover tank 3 on which the photovoltaic modules 2 are arranged are covered by the photovoltaic modules 2 to a second position P2 said opening illustrated by the position of the photovoltaic module 2 located in the central position in Figure 3, wherein the parts of the cover tray 3 previously covered by the photovoltaic modules 2 are apparent.
L'accessibilité à ces parties du bac de couverture 3 permet une fixation de celui-ci sur les pannes 4 se trouvant normalement en dessous des modules photovoltaïques 2.  The accessibility of these parts of the cover tray 3 allows attachment thereof on the failures 4 normally located below the photovoltaic modules 2.
Un élément de couverture 1 selon l'invention, comme celui illustré à la figure 4 , permet donc d'optimiser l'occupation de la surface du bac de couverture 3 par des modules photovoltaïques 2 en augmentant la surface utile de ces modules photovoltaïques 2 par une réduction de l'écartement se trouvant entre les modules photovoltaïques 2. A cover element 1 according to the invention, like that illustrated in FIG. 4, therefore makes it possible to optimize the occupation of the surface of the tray of cover 3 by photovoltaic modules 2 by increasing the useful area of these photovoltaic modules 2 by reducing the gap between the photovoltaic modules 2.
Les moyens de solidarisation 7 du module photovoltaïque 2 sur le bac de couverture 3 comprennent des moyens d'articulation 8 mais peuvent également comporter un dispositif de verrouillage 14 dans la position de fermeture P1 et un dispositif de verrouillage (non illustré) dans la position d'ouverture P2.  The securing means 7 of the photovoltaic module 2 on the cover tank 3 comprise hinge means 8 but may also comprise a locking device 14 in the closed position P1 and a locking device (not shown) in the position d P2 opening.
Selon un mode de réalisation, les moyens de solidarisation 7 sont également pré-percés d'un ou plusieurs trous (non illustrés) permettant le passage et le vissage d'une vis de fixation pour assurer la fixation de l'élément de couverture 1 sur une panne 4 du bâtiment qui se situerait en dessous d'un moyen de solidarisation 7.  According to one embodiment, the securing means 7 are also pre-drilled with one or more holes (not shown) allowing the passage and the screwing of a fixing screw to ensure the fixing of the cover element 1 on a breakdown 4 of the building which would be below a means of joining 7.
Ces trous peuvent avoir la forme de trous circulaires ou bien oblongs.  These holes may be in the form of circular or oblong holes.
Selon u n mode de réalisation, les moyens de solidarisation 7 comprennent de préférence plusieurs éléments de solidarisation 10.  According to one embodiment, the securing means 7 preferably comprise a plurality of fastening elements 10.
Selon un mode de réalisation, ces éléments de solidarisation 10 comportent chacun une embase 9 en forme de trapèze isocèle adaptée à la forme d'une onde 6 du bac de couverture 3.  According to one embodiment, these securing elements 10 each comprise an isosceles trapezoid-shaped base 9 adapted to the shape of a wave 6 of the cover tray 3.
Selon un mode de réalisation, ces éléments de solidarisation 10 sont maintenus par collage à rencontre du bac de couverture 3, dénuant ainsi le bac de couverture 3 de tout perçage risquant de porter atteinte à son étanchéité.  According to one embodiment, these securing elements 10 are held by gluing against the cover tray 3, thus denying the cover tank 3 of any piercing that may affect its sealing.
Les zones et nombre de points de collage peuvent varier en fonction des différentes configurations possibles en tenant compte par exemple de la taille du module photovoltaïque 2, de la taille du bac de couverture 3, et de la taille et du nombre des embases 9 mais aussi des zones géographiques et de l'altitude, la distance entre les embases 9 tenant compte des charges de vent et de neige et de l'exposition au vent.  The areas and number of bonding points may vary according to the different possible configurations taking into account, for example, the size of the photovoltaic module 2, the size of the cover tray 3, and the size and number of the bases 9, but also geographic areas and altitude, the distance between the bases 9 taking into account the loads of wind and snow and exposure to the wind.
En fonction des matériaux utilisés pour les bacs 3 et les embases 9, la taille des embases 9 peut varier pour limiter le cisaillement dû aux dilatations différentielles avec le bac de couverture 3 et pour assurer une fixation fiable dans le temps, notamment pour les fixations par collage.  Depending on the materials used for the bins 3 and the bases 9, the size of the bases 9 can vary to limit the shear due to differential expansion with the cover tray 3 and to ensure a reliable fixation over time, especially for fasteners by bonding.
Selon sa fonction, un élément de solidarisation 10 comprend une ou plusieurs autres parties. Les moyens d'articulation 8, réalisant la fonction d'articulation du module photovoltaïque 2, comportent des premiers gonds disposés sur l'embase 9. Depending on its function, a securing element 10 comprises one or more other parts. The hinge means 8, performing the articulation function of the photovoltaic module 2, comprise first hinges arranged on the base 9.
Des seconds gonds complémentaires des premiers gonds sont q u ant à eux disposés su r l e mod u le photovoltaïq ue 2 pou r former une charnière 12 qui assure la mobilité en rotation autour d'un axe A du module photovoltaïque 2 par rapport au bac de couverture 3.  Second hinges complementary to the first hinges are arranged on the photovoltaic module 2 to form a hinge 12 which ensures mobility in rotation about an axis A of the photovoltaic module 2 with respect to the cover tank 3 .
Ces seconds gonds sont prolongés par une platine (non illustrée) fixée sur le module photovoltaïque 2. Il est également possible d'envisager de fixer cette platine directement sur le lam iné d'un panneau photovoltaïque 2 sans cadre.  These second hinges are extended by a plate (not shown) fixed on the photovoltaic module 2. It is also possible to consider fixing this plate directly on the lam iné of a photovoltaic panel 2 without frame.
Dans u n prem ier mode de réal isation illustré à la figure 5, les premiers et seconds gonds sont disposés de telle sorte à disposer l'axe A de la charnière 12 longitudinalement à la direction principale des ondes 6 du bac de couverture 3, permettant ainsi une articulation du panneau photovoltaïque 2 autour d'un axe longitudinal à la direction du rampant du toit.  In a first embodiment, illustrated in FIG. 5, the first and second hinges are arranged so as to arrange the axis A of the hinge 12 longitudinally to the main direction of the waves 6 of the cover tray 3, thus allowing a hinge of the photovoltaic panel 2 about a longitudinal axis to the direction of the crawling roof.
Dans cette configuration, la position des gonds ou des moyens d'articulation 8 permettent le basculement du module photovoltaïque 2 sans qu'il y ait de gênes entre le module 2 et le bac de couverture 3 d'une part et le module 2 adjacent d'autre part.  In this configuration, the position of the hinges or articulation means 8 allow the photovoltaic module 2 to tilt without there being any disturbances between the module 2 and the cover tank 3 on the one hand and the adjacent module 2 'somewhere else.
Dans u n second mode de réal isation ill ustré à la figu re 6, les premiers et seconds gonds sont disposés de telle sorte à disposer l'axe A de la charnière 1 2 transversalement à la direction principale des ondes 6 du bac de couverture 3, permettant ainsi une articulation du panneau photovoltaïque 2 autour d'un axe transversal à la direction du rampant du toit.  In a second embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6, the first and second hinges are arranged so as to arrange the axis A of the hinge 1 2 transversely to the main direction of the waves 6 of the cover pan 3, thus allowing an articulation of the photovoltaic panel 2 about an axis transverse to the direction of the crawling roof.
Dans ce second mode de réalisation, la platine des seconds gonds est fixée sur la tranche inférieure du module photovoltaïque 2 selon le sens du rampant et place les seconds gonds et donc la charnière 12 sur une partie du bac de couverture 3 qui n'est pas couverte par le module photovoltaïque 2 dans sa position de fermeture P1 .  In this second embodiment, the plate of the second hinges is fixed on the lower edge of the photovoltaic module 2 in the direction of the rampant and places the second hinges and therefore the hinge 12 on a portion of the cover tray 3 which is not covered by the photovoltaic module 2 in its closed position P1.
Dans ces deux modes de réalisation, les modules photovoltaïques 2 peuvent être fixes ou amovibles.  In these two embodiments, the photovoltaic modules 2 can be fixed or removable.
Dans le cas où ils seraient amovibles, il est possible de séparer un mod u l e 2 d e l ' en se m b l e 1 , permettant ainsi de remplacer un module photovoltaïque 2 sans avoir à remplacer un élément de couverture 1 complet. Comme montré à la figure 5, pour réaliser le dispositif de verrouillage 14 réalisant la fonction de blocage du module photovoltaïque 2 dans sa position de fermeture P1, les embases 9 sont fixées sur une partie d'onde 6. In the case where they would be removable, it is possible to separate a model 2 del 'to 1 mbles, thus replacing a photovoltaic module 2 without having to replace a complete cover element 1. As shown in FIG. 5, to produce the locking device 14 realizing the blocking function of the photovoltaic module 2 in its closed position P1, the bases 9 are fixed on a wave portion 6.
Dans le second mode de réalisation, les fonctions de fixation et d'articulation sont contenues sur la même embase 9.  In the second embodiment, the fixing and articulation functions are contained on the same base 9.
Bien évidemment, d'autres types de dispositifs de verrouillage en position de fermeture P1 peuvent être envisagés en fonction des diverses configurations possibles.  Of course, other types of locking devices in the closed position P1 can be envisaged depending on the various possible configurations.
Comme illustré aux figures 7 et 9, les embases 9 constituant les moyens d'articulation 8 et le dispositif de verrouillage 14 en position de fermeture P1 comportent un dispositif de levage 16 du type attache permettant d'élinguer avec des sangles 18 l'élément de couverture 1 afin de le manutentionner facilement à l'aide d'un engin de levage.  As illustrated in Figures 7 and 9, the bases 9 constituting the hinge means 8 and the locking device 14 in the closed position P1 comprise a lifting device 16 of the fastener type for slinging with straps 18 the element of cover 1 for easy handling with a hoist.
En fonction de la portée de l'élément de couverture 1, il peut être nécessaire d'avoir recours à un palonnier répartissant la charge en différents points afin d'éviter d'avoir des efforts trop importants sur une embase 9 ainsi que de réduire la flèche de l'élément de couverture 1 lors de la manutention.  Depending on the range of the cover element 1, it may be necessary to use a spreader distributing the load at different points in order to avoid having too much force on a base 9 as well as to reduce the load. arrow of the cover element 1 during handling.
Comme illustré à la figure 8, l'élément de couverture 1 est préisolé avec un isolant 17 se conformant à la surface inférieure du bac de couverture 3.  As illustrated in FIG. 8, the cover element 1 is pre-insulated with an insulator 17 conforming to the lower surface of the cover tank 3.
Cette même figure 8 montre une utilisation avec un bac de couverture 3 de dimension standard.  This same figure 8 shows a use with a cover tray 3 of standard size.
Cependant, pour optimiser la ventilation sous le module photovoltaïque 2 et les portées, l'élément de couverture 1 peut intégrer un bac de couverture 3 ayant des dimensions et formes spécifiques avec une hauteur d'onde 6 augmentée et une diminution du pas entre ondes 6.  However, to optimize the ventilation under the photovoltaic module 2 and the ranges, the cover element 1 can integrate a cover tank 3 having specific dimensions and shapes with an increased wave height 6 and a decrease in pitch between waves 6 .
Ces deux actions ont aussi pour conséquence de rigidifier le bac de couverture 3.  These two actions also have the consequence of stiffening the cover tank 3.
Afin de pouvoir finir la couverture du toit ou de la façade, l'invention prévoit également un bac de couverture 3 sans modules photovoltaïques 2, de mêmes dimensions que le bac de couverture 3 de dimensions spécifiques ou standards supportant des modules photovoltaïques 2.  In order to be able to finish the covering of the roof or facade, the invention also provides a cover tank 3 without photovoltaic modules 2, of the same dimensions as the cover tank 3 of specific or standard dimensions supporting photovoltaic modules 2.
L'élément de couverture 1 permet une totale liberté de câblage, et notamment la possibilité de câbler les modules photovoltaïques 2 selon les règles de l'art, à savoir par rangées horizontales avec les modules photovoltaïques 2 des éléments de couverture 1 adjacents afin de bénéficier du meilleur fonctionnement de l'installation photovoltaïque selon le parcours du soleil dans le ciel . The cover element 1 allows complete freedom of wiring, and in particular the possibility of wiring the photovoltaic modules 2 according to the rules of the art, namely in horizontal rows with the modules photovoltaic 2 adjacent cover elements 1 in order to benefit from the best operation of the photovoltaic installation according to the path of the sun in the sky.
Ainsi, pour installer un élément de couverture 1 sur la charpente d'un toit, l'installateur commence par élinguer l'élément de couverture 1 par ses dispositifs de levage 16, puis place l'élément de couverture 1 sur la charpente à l'aide d'un engin de levage.  Thus, to install a roofing element 1 on the frame of a roof, the installer starts by slinging the roofing element 1 by its lifting devices 16, then places the roofing element 1 on the frame to the roof. using a hoist.
Il fixe ensuite le bac de couverture 3 sur la charpente aux endroits des pannes 4 en vissant des vis auto-foreuses utilisés de façon classique pour la fixation de bacs de couverture 3.  He then fixes the cover tank 3 on the frame at the places of the purlins 4 by screwing self-drilling screws conventionally used for the fixing of cover tanks 3.
L'installateur déverrouille le dispositif de verrouillage 14 en position de fermeture P1 de l'ensemble des modules photovoltaïques 2 puis verrouille l'ensemble des modules photovoltaïques 2 dans leur position d'ouverture P2 à l'aide du dispositif de verrouillage en position d'ouverture P2.  The installer unlocks the locking device 14 in the closed position P1 of all the photovoltaic modules 2 and then locks all the photovoltaic modules 2 in their open position P2 with the aid of the locking device in the position of opening P2.
II accède ainsi aux parties des ondes 6 initialement cachés par les modules photovoltaïques 2 lorsqu'ils étaient en position de fermeture P1 et peut ainsi continuer à fixer le bac de couverture 3 en vissant des vis autoforeuses sur le sommet de ces parties d'ondes 6.  It thus accesses the portions of the waves 6 initially hidden by the photovoltaic modules 2 when in the closed position P1 and can thus continue to fix the cover tank 3 by screwing self-drilling screws on the top of these wave portions 6 .
Une fois l'ensemble des éléments de couverture 1 disposé sur la charpente, l'installateur procède aux différents câblages et raccordements des modules photovoltaïques 2 p u i s i l ra mèn e l 'ensem ble des modules photovoltaïques 2 vers leur position de fermeture P1 et les verrouille dans cette position de fermeture P1 à l'aide du dispositif de verrouillage 14.  Once all the cover elements 1 are arranged on the frame, the installer proceeds with the various wiring and connections of the photovoltaic modules 2 and then brings the photovoltaic modules 2 to their closed position P1 and locks them in this position. closing position P1 by means of the locking device 14.
Ainsi, de part sa fiabilité et du gain de temps qu'elle procure au montage sur le chantier, cet élément de couverture 1 a une valeur ajoutée en sortie d'usine nettement supérieure à celle d'un kit classique.  Thus, because of its reliability and the time savings it provides on-site assembly, this cover element 1 has an added value at the factory outlet much higher than that of a conventional kit.
Bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec des exemples particuliers de réalisation, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'elle comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits ainsi que leurs combinaisons, en particulier l'ensemble des moyens décrits peuvent être déclinés pour des tôles de bardage en vue de réaliser des murs photovoltaïques.  Although the invention has been described in connection with particular embodiments, it is obvious that it is in no way limited thereto and that it comprises all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations, in particular the all the means described can be declined for cladding sheets for the purpose of producing photovoltaic walls.
