Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des portes pour ouvertures dans des bâtiments ou édifices, plus particulièrement de haute sécurité tels que des centrales nucléaires, et a pour objet un ensemble seuil et ouvrant pour porte essentiellement étanche à un fluide liquide ou gazeux et destinée à fermer une ouverture séparant deux espaces d'un bâtiment ou édifice.The present invention relates to the field of doors for openings in buildings or buildings, particularly high security such as nuclear power plants, and relates to a threshold assembly and opening for door substantially sealed to a liquid or gaseous fluid and intended to close an opening separating two spaces of a building or building.

On sait que le seuil est l'élément qui se trouve en travers et en bas de l'ouverture d'une porte séparant deux espaces d'un bâtiment ou édifice et qui a pour fonction principale d'assurer la protection de la partie basse de la porte, à l'état fermé, c'est à dire de l'espace vide entre le chant inférieur de l'ouvrant de porte et la surface de plancher ou de sol, contre les infiltrations d'air, d'eau ou de poussières.It is known that the threshold is the element which is located across and at the bottom of the opening of a door separating two spaces of a building or building and whose main function is to ensure the protection of the lower part of the building. the door, in the closed state, that is to say the empty space between the lower edge of the door leaf and the floor or floor surface, against the infiltration of air, water or water. dust.

Toutefois, un seuil présente habituellement comme c'est le cas dans l'antériorité DE 19841 180 A1 un aspect de marche formant un obstacle dans la partie inférieure de l'ouverture de la porte qui pose un problème de hauteur à franchir notamment pour les roues ou roulettes des fauteuils roulants des personnes à mobilité réduite ou des chariots ou autres objets roulants supportant des matériels ou des produits, notamment sensibles, particulièrement dans le domaine de la haute sécurité, tel que le nucléaire, qui exige des surfaces de roulement planes ou quasiment planes et sans obstacles à franchir.However, a threshold usually presents as is the case in the case of anteriority DE 19841 180 A1 a walking appearance forming an obstacle in the lower part of the opening of the door which poses a problem of height to be crossed in particular for wheel or wheelchair wheelchairs of persons with reduced mobility or trolleys or other rolling objects supporting equipment or products, particularly sensitive, particularly in the field of high security, such as nuclear, which requires flat or almost flat bearing surfaces and without obstacles to overcome.

Une solution connue à ce problème consiste à mettre en place des rampes de franchissement transportables qui s'adaptent à différentes hauteurs de seuils et qui sont posées sur ces derniers.A known solution to this problem is to set up transportable crossing ramps that adapt to different threshold heights and are placed on them.

Pourtant, si ces rampes permettent de réduire de façon non négligeable l'effet d'obstacle procuré par les seuils actuels, leur structure comporte deux pentes de franchissement qui imposent nécessairement une inclinaison du chariot roulant qui peut être préjudiciable au matériel ou aux produits transportés par celui-ci. En outre, ces rampes transportables, compte tenu des conditions de sécurité exigées dans certains types de bâtiments de haute sécurité ne peuvent pas toujours être stockées à proximité de la porte ou sur un chariot mobile. D'autre part, elles nécessitent une mise en place et un enlèvement à chaque ouverture et fermeture de la porte qui sont contraignantes pour la personne qui franchit cette dernière.However, although these ramps can significantly reduce the obstacle effect provided by the current thresholds, their structure has two crossing slopes which necessarily impose a slant of the rolling carriage which may be detrimental to the material or products transported by this one. In addition, these transportable ramps, given the security conditions required in certain types of high security buildings, can not always be stored near the door or on a mobile cart. On the other hand, they require setting up and removal at each opening and closing the door which are binding for the person who crosses the latter.

La présente invention a pour but de pallier ces inconvénients en proposant un ensemble seuil ouvrant de porte étanche à un fluide liquide ou gazeux, mis en place à demeure et ne formant aucun obstacle ni pente de franchissement dans la partie inférieure de l'ouverture de la porte, notamment aux roues ou roulettes d'un chariot ou autre objet roulant, ce tout en assurant une étanchéité efficace de la partie basse de la porte concernée aux fluides gazeux ou liquides.The object of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing an opening threshold assembly of a sealed door to a liquid or gaseous fluid, permanently installed and forming no obstacle or crossing slope in the lower part of the opening of the door. door, in particular to the wheels or wheels of a trolley or other rolling object, while ensuring effective sealing of the lower part of the door concerned with gaseous or liquid fluids.

A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet un ensemble seuil et ouvrant pour porte essentiellement étanche à un fluide liquide ou gazeux et destinée à fermer une ouverture séparant deux espaces d'un bâtiment ou édifice, comprenant un ouvrant, dont l'un des chants ou chant inférieur est situé, à l'état monté, en regard d'une surface de plancher, et un seuil apte à assurer l'étanchéité audit fluide de la partie basse de la porte concernée entre ledit chant inférieur et ladite surface de plancher, au moins un élément de joint d'étanchéité plat et allongé, du type languette, comportant une face longitudinale avant et une face longitudinale arrière et étant fixé par l'un de ses côtés longitudinaux ou côté longitudinal de fixation sur ledit chant inférieur, se caractérisant essentiellement en ce que le seuil comprend au moins une rainure d'étanchéité et de débattement, comportant un fond et deux bords longitudinaux, pratiquée dans ladite surface de plancher en travers de l'ouverture concernée et en ce que ledit élément de joint d'étanchéité est apte à coopérer, à l'état monté, par autorisation de débattement dans ladite rainure, avec l'un ou l'autre desdits bords longitudinaux selon qu'une force de pression est exercée par un fluide liquide ou gazeux provenant de l'un desdits espaces sur la face longitudinale avant ou sur la face longitudinale arrière dudit élément de joint d'étanchéité, ce de sorte à assurer l'étanchéité de la partie basse de ladite porte concernée.To this end, the subject of the present invention is a threshold and opening assembly for a door essentially impermeable to a liquid or gaseous fluid and intended to close an opening separating two spaces of a building or building, comprising an opening, one of which edges or lower edge is located, in the mounted state, facing a floor surface, and a threshold adapted to seal said fluid of the lower part of the door concerned between said lower edge and said floor surface at least one flat and elongated tongue-like seal member having a longitudinal front face and a rear longitudinal face and being fixed by one of its longitudinal sides or longitudinal side of attachment to said lower edge, characterized essentially in that the threshold comprises at least one sealing and deflection groove, having a bottom and two longitudinal edges, formed in said surface of floor across the opening concerned and in that said seal member is adapted to cooperate, in the mounted state, by clearance clearance in said groove, with one or the other of said longitudinal edges according to a pressure force is exerted by a liquid or gaseous fluid from one of said spaces on the longitudinal front face or the longitudinal rear face of said seal member, so as to ensure the sealing of the lower part of said door concerned.

The invention will be better understood, thanks to the following description, which refers to a preferred embodiment, given by way of non-limiting example, and explained with reference to the attached schematic drawings, in which:

Les figures montrent un ensemble seuil 1 et ouvrant 2 pour porte essentiellement étanche à un fluide liquide ou gazeux et destinée à fermer une ouverture 3 séparant deux espaces 4, 4' d'un bâtiment ou édifice, comprenant un ouvrant 2, dont l'un des chants ou chant inférieur 6 est situé, à l'état monté, en regard d'une surface de plancher 5, et un seuil 1 apte à assurer l'étanchéité audit fluide de la partie basse de la porte concernée, c'est-à-dire de l'espace vide situé entre ledit chant inférieur 6 et ladite surface de plancher 5.The figures show a threshold assembly 1 and 2 opening for door essentially sealed to a liquid or gaseous fluid and intended to close an opening 3 separating two spaces 4, 4 'of a building or building, comprising an opening 2, one of which edges or lower edge 6 is located, in the mounted state, facing a floor surface 5, and a threshold 1 capable of sealing said fluid in the lower part of the door concerned, that is, that is, the empty space between said lower edge 6 and said floor surface 5.

Conformément à la présente invention, l'ouvrant 2 comprend au moins un élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 plat et allongé, du type languette, comportant une face longitudinale avant et une face longitudinale arrière et étant fixé par l'un de ses côtés longitudinaux ou côté longitudinal de fixation 8 sur ledit chant inférieur 6 et le seuil 1 comprend une rainure 9 d'étanchéité et de débattement, comportant un fond 10 et deux bords longitudinaux 11, pratiquée dans ladite surface de plancher 5 en travers de l'ouverture 3 concernée et étant destinée à recevoir l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7.According to the present invention, the opening 2 comprises at least one flat and elongated tongue-like seal member 7 having a longitudinal front face and a rear longitudinal face and being fixed by one of its longitudinal sides. or longitudinal fastening side 8 on said lower edge 6 and the threshold 1 comprises a groove 9 sealing and deflection, having a bottom 10 and two longitudinal edges 11, formed in said floor surface 5 across the opening 3 concerned and being intended to receive the seal element 7.

Toujours conformément à la présente invention, l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 est apte à coopérer, à l'état monté, par autorisation de débattement dans ladite rainure 9, avec l'un ou l'autre desdits bords longitudinaux 11 selon qu'une force de pression est exercée par un fluide liquide ou gazeux provenant de l'un desdits espaces 4 ou 4' sur la face longitudinale avant ou sur la face longitudinale arrière dudit élément de joint 7, ce de sorte à assurer l'étanchéité de la partie basse de ladite porte concernée entre ledit chant inférieur 6 et ladite surface de plancher 5.Still in accordance with the present invention, the seal member 7 is adapted to cooperate, in the mounted state, by clearance clearance in said groove 9, with one or other of said edges. longitudinal 11 according to a pressure force is exerted by a liquid or gaseous fluid from one of said spaces 4 or 4 'on the longitudinal front face or on the rear longitudinal face of said seal member 7, so as to ensure sealing the lower part of said concerned door between said lower edge 6 and said floor surface 5.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation du débattement de l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 dans la rainure 9, l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 peut être flexible ou souple, au moins au niveau de son côté longitudinal 8 fixé sur le chant inférieur 6 de l'ouvrant 2 de sorte à lui autoriser une liberté de débattement, par déformation élastique et pliage autour dudit côté longitudinal de fixation 8, dans la rainure 9 entre les deux bords longitudinaux 11 de cette dernière (figure 1 à 5).In a first embodiment of the displacement of the seal member 7 in the groove 9, the seal member 7 may be flexible or flexible, at least at its longitudinal side 8 fixed on the lower edge 6 of the opening 2 so as to allow it freedom of movement, by elastic deformation and folding around said longitudinal fastening side 8, in the groove 9 between the two longitudinal edges 11 of the latter ( figure 1 to 5 ).

On comprendra que, dans ce premier mode de réalisation, l'élément de joint 7 peut être flexible ou souple au niveau de son côté longitudinal 8 ou sur tout ou partie de sa largeur y compris ledit côté longitudinal 8.It will be understood that, in this first embodiment, the joint member 7 may be flexible or flexible at its longitudinal side 8 or all or part of its width including said longitudinal side 8.

Dans un second mode de réalisation du débattement de l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 dans la rainure 9, l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 peut être rigide, semi rigide ou flexible et être monté pivotant, par son côté longitudinal de fixation 8, au moyen d'une liaison pivot du type charnière autour d'un axe de pivotement 15 s'étendant le long du chant inférieur 6 de sorte à autoriser à l'élément de joint et d'étanchéité 7 une liberté de débattement, par rotation autour dudit axe de pivotement 15, dans la rainure 9.entre les deux bords longitudinaux 11 de cette dernière (figure 6).In a second embodiment of the deflection of the seal member 7 in the groove 9, the seal member 7 can be rigid, semi-rigid or flexible and be pivotally mounted by its longitudinal side. fastening 8, by means of a pivot connection of the hinge type around a pivot axis 15 extending along the lower edge 6 so as to allow the seal member and seal 7 freedom of movement, by rotation about said pivot axis 15, in the groove 9. between the two longitudinal edges 11 of the latter ( figure 6 ).

De préférence, les bords longitudinaux 11 de la rainure 9 peuvent former chacun un angle droit avec la surface de plancher 5 (figures 2 et 5). Ils peuvent également, dans une variante, être chacun inclinés vers le fond 10 de la rainure 9 (figures 1, 3, 4 et 6). Ceci de manière à ce que chaque bord longitudinal 11 forme une butée longitudinale permettant de retenir l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 dans la rainure 9 lorsqu'une force de pression est exercée par le fluide liquide ou gazeux sur la face longitudinale avant ou la face longitudinale arrière dudit élément de joint d'étanchéité (figures 4 et 6).Preferably, the longitudinal edges 11 of the groove 9 can each form a right angle with the floor surface 5 ( figures 2 and 5 ). They may also, in a variant, each be inclined towards the bottom 10 of the groove 9 ( figures 1 , 3 , 4 and 6 ). This so that each longitudinal edge 11 forms a longitudinal stop for retaining the seal member 7 in the groove 9 when a pressure force is exerted by the liquid or gaseous fluid on the longitudinal front face or the longitudinal rear face of said seal member ( figures 4 and 6 ).

Toujours de préférence, dans le cas de bords longitudinaux 11 inclinés, ceux-ci peuvent être inclinés de manière à ce que leur face interne se trouvent chacune dans un plan passant sensiblement par le côté longitudinal de fixation 8 de l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 et, le cas échéant, de préférence par l'axe de pivotement 15. Ceci afin de permettre un placage parfait ou quasi parfait entre l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 et le bord longitudinal 7 incliné correspondant en vue d'obtenir une étanchéité la plus efficace possible. Bien entendu, dans le cas où les bords longitudinaux 11 ne sont pas inclinés dans ce plan, un élément de joint et d'étanchéité 7 dans une forme flexible ou souple peut néanmoins, par sa flexibilité propre et par la force de poussée du fluide liquide ou gazeux s'exerçant sur l'une de ses faces avant ou arrière, venir se plaquer contre l'un desdits bords.Still preferably, in the case of longitudinal edges 11 inclined, they can be inclined so that their inner face are each in a plane passing substantially by the side longitudinal fastening 8 of the seal member 7 and, if appropriate, preferably by the pivot axis 15. This to allow a perfect or almost perfect plating between the seal member 7 and the corresponding inclined longitudinal edge 7 in order to obtain the most effective sealing possible. Of course, in the case where the longitudinal edges 11 are not inclined in this plane, a seal and sealing element 7 in a flexible or flexible form can nevertheless, by its own flexibility and by the thrust force of the liquid fluid or gaseous exerted on one of its front or rear faces, come to press against one of said edges.

On comprendra que lors de l'ouverture de la porte, le déplacement de l'ouvrant 2 entrainera la sortie et la libération de l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 de la rainure 9, lequel élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 sera engagé dans cette dernière à la fermeture de la porte, ce du fait de son élasticité ou de son articulation libre autour de l'axe fixé sur le chant inférieur 6 le long de ce dernier.It will be understood that when opening the door, the movement of the opening 2 will cause the exit and release of the seal member 7 of the groove 9, which seal member 7 will be engaged in the latter at the closing of the door, this due to its elasticity or its free articulation about the axis fixed on the lower edge 6 along the latter.

Toujours de préférence, une telle rainure 9 peut présenter une section transversale globalement en U (figures 2 et 5) ou en queue d'aronde (figures 1, 3, 4 et 6), de préférence avec un fond plat (figures 2 et 5) ou en arc de cercle (figures 1, 3, 4 et 6). En outre la rainure 9 peut être réalisée dans une pièce rapportée 12 encastrée dans la surface de plancher 5 (figures).Still preferably, such a groove 9 may have a generally U-shaped cross section ( figures 2 and 5 ) or dovetail ( figures 1 , 3 , 4 and 6 ), preferably with a flat bottom ( figures 2 and 5 ) or in an arc ( figures 1 , 3 , 4 and 6 ). In addition, the groove 9 can be made in an insert 12 embedded in the floor surface 5 (figures).

Par ailleurs, la présente invention peut avantageusement prévoir en outre un système d'écran de protection anti-poussière 13 ou 14 s'étendant longitudinalement de part et d'autre de l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 de sorte à empêcher les poussières provenant respectivement de l'un ou l'autre des deux espaces 4 ou 4' séparés par l'ouverture 3 de porte d'accéder à la rainure 9 et, notamment, de s'accumuler dans cette dernière.Furthermore, the present invention may advantageously further provide a dust shield system 13 or 14 extending longitudinally on either side of the seal member 7 so as to prevent dust respectively from one or other of the two spaces 4 or 4 'separated by the door opening 3 to access the groove 9 and, in particular, to accumulate in the latter.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférentielle du système d'écran de protection anti-poussière, celui-ci ci peut consister en une brosse anti-poussière 13 allongée qui peut être fixée sur le chant inférieur 6 de l'ouvrant 2, au niveau de la fixation de l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7, et qui peut comporter deux parties de brosse anti-poussière 13 s'étendant de part et d'autre dudit élément de joint d'étanchéité 7 jusqu'à la surface de plancher 5 correspondante et formant chacune un écran de protection contre les poussières provenant respectivement de l'un des deux espaces 4 ou 4' (figures 1, 2 et 5).In a preferred embodiment of the dust protection screen system, it may consist of an elongated dust brush 13 which can be attached to the lower edge 6 of the opening 2, at the level of the fixing the seal member 7, and which may comprise two parts of the dust brush 13 extending on either side of said seal member 7 to the corresponding floor surface 5 and each forming a shield against the dust coming respectively from one of the two spaces 4 or 4 '( figures 1 , 2 and 5 ).

Dans une autre forme de réalisation du système d'écran de protection anti-poussière, celui-ci peut consister en deux brosses anti-poussière 14 fixées chacune sur le chant inférieur 6 de l'ouvrant 2, de part et d'autre et distinctement de l'élément de joint d'étanchéité 7, lesdites brosses anti-poussière 14 s'étendant chacune jusqu'à la surface de plancher 5 correspondante, (figures 3, 4 et 6) de sorte à former chacune un écran de protection contre les poussières provenant respectivement de l'un des deux espaces 4 ou 4'.In another embodiment of the dust protection screen system, it may consist of two dust-proof brushes 14 each fixed to the lower edge 6 of the opening 2, on either side and distinctly of the seal member 7, said dust shields 14 each extending to the corresponding floor surface 5, ( figures 3 , 4 and 6 ) so as to each form a dust protection screen respectively from one of the two spaces 4 or 4 '.

La ou chaque brosse anti-poussière 13 ou 14 peut être réalisée à partir de poils naturels, synthétiques ou métalliques compressés à l'une de leurs extrémités dans une bande de support fixée sur ou intégrés dans le chant inférieur 6.The or each dust-resistant brush 13 or 14 may be made from natural, synthetic or metal bristles compressed at one of their ends in a support band fixed on or integrated in the lower edge 6.

D'autre part, la présente invention peut prévoir avantageusement que le fond 10 de la rainure 9 comporte au moins une cavité de réception 16 des poussières, de préférence deux cavités de réception 16 pratiquées de part et d'autre d'un plan médian audit fond 10 et plus préférentiellement, pour la ou chaque cavité de réception 16, au niveau de la base du bord longitudinal 11 correspondant, ce de sorte à pouvoir récupérer les poussières accumulées dans le fond 10 lors de l'ouverture de la porte, c'est-à-dire sans écrans de protection 13 ou 14 de la rainure 9. Les poussières ainsi accumulées dans le fond 10 peuvent être alors poussées ou balayées dans la ou les cavités de réception 16, lors de la fermeture de la porte, par le déplacement de l'élément dé joint d'étanchéité 7 engagé dans la rainure 9 (figure 1).On the other hand, the present invention can advantageously provide that the bottom 10 of the groove 9 comprises at least one receiving cavity 16 of the dust, preferably two receiving cavities 16 formed on either side of a median plane. bottom 10 and more preferably, for the or each receiving cavity 16, at the base of the corresponding longitudinal edge 11, so that to recover the dust accumulated in the bottom 10 during the opening of the door, c ' that is to say without protective screens 13 or 14 of the groove 9. The dust thus accumulated in the bottom 10 can then be pushed or swept into the receiving cavity or cavities 16, during the closing of the door, by the displacement of the seal element 7 engaged in the groove 9 ( figure 1 ).
