Description

La présente invention concerne une armoire chauffante, notamment une armoire destinée à équiper un local tel qu'abri de chantier, vestiaire de stade ou analogue, pour recueillir des vêtements susceptibles d'être humides ou mouillés à la suite de travaux ou d'activités sportives pratiquées à l'extérieur.The present invention relates to a heating cabinet, including a cabinet for equipping a room such as construction shelter, stadium cloakroom or the like, to collect clothes likely to be wet or wet as a result of work or sports activities practiced outdoors.

De telles armoires sont typiquement installées en batterie dans le local, une batterie comprenant plusieurs armoires généralement identiques installées côte à côte en une rangée.Such cabinets are typically installed as a battery in the room, a battery comprising several generally identical cabinets installed side by side in a row.

On connaît après le JP 4-187195 A1 une armoire de ce type dans laquelle une soufflante refoule de l'air au contact de moyens de chauffage puis au contact des vêtements à sécher. L'air humide s'échappe à l'extérieur de l'armoire par une bouche située en haut de la façade de l'armoire. Ainsi, l'air vicié, humide et souvent malodorant, est refoulé dans le local où l'armoire est installée.We know after JP 4-187195 A1 a cabinet of this type in which a blower delivers air in contact with heating means and in contact with clothes to dry. Moist air escapes outside the cabinet through a mouth at the top of the cabinet front. Thus, stale, humid and often smelly air is pushed back into the room where the cabinet is installed.

Suivant le FR 2 909 105 , plusieurs armoires chauffantes sont raccordées à un collecteur d'extraction qui refoule l'air vicié à l'extérieur du vestiaire. La qualité de la circulation d'air dans les différentes armoires dépend de leur position respective par rapport à l'extracteur situé en façade de bâtiment.Following the FR 2 909 105 Several heating cabinets are connected to an exhaust manifold that delivers stale air to the outside of the cloakroom. The quality of the air circulation in the different cabinets depends on their respective position relative to the extractor located on the building facade.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une armoire chauffante qui remédie au moins en partie aux inconvénients précités.The object of the present invention is to provide a heating cabinet which overcomes at least in part the aforementioned drawbacks.

Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer une armoire chauffante particulièrement efficace.Another object of the present invention is to provide a particularly efficient heating cabinet.

Encore un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer une armoire chauffante très bien adaptée pour être installé en batterie.Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a heating cabinet very well adapted to be installed in battery.

Suivant un premier aspect l'invention, l'armoire chauffante, destinée notamment à équiper un local à usage de vestiaire dédié à des activités pratiquées à l'extérieur, telles que chantiers, activités sportives d'extérieur, etc., comprenant :

  • des parois définissant au moins un compartiment intérieur prévu pour recevoir des vêtements humides ou mouillés,
  • des moyens pour souffler de l'air dans le compartiment,
  • des moyens de chauffage pour chauffer l'air soufflé dans le compartiment,
  • une bouche pour l'évacuation de l'air humide hors du compartiment, est caractérisée en ce que la bouche d'évacuation est raccordée à des moyens d'extraction qui expulsent l'air humide à l'extérieur d'un local où l'armoire est installée.
According to a first aspect of the invention, the heating cabinet, intended in particular to equip a room for use of cloakroom dedicated to activities outdoors, such as construction sites, outdoor sports activities, etc., including:
  • walls defining at least one interior compartment adapted to receive wet or wet clothing,

Ainsi, suivant l'invention, on combine des moyens de soufflage qui imposent un débit d'air dans l'armoire, et des moyens d'extraction forcée qui refoulent l'air vicié à l'extérieur du local où l'armoire est installée. On combine ainsi une excellente efficacité de séchage, une optimisation de l'énergie consommée, et une élimination efficace des odeurs.Thus, according to the invention, blowing means are combined which impose an air flow rate in the cabinet, and forced extraction means which repress the stale air outside the room where the cabinet is installed. . This combines excellent drying efficiency, optimized energy consumption, and efficient odor removal.

Dans un mode de réalisation avantageux, la bouche d'évacuation est reliée aux moyens d'extraction par l'intermédiaire d'un collecteur pouvant collecter l'air humide de plusieurs armoires chauffantes. L'armoire possédant ses propres moyens de soufflage, le flux d'air dans l'armoire est bien maîtrisé malgré le système d'extraction commun.In an advantageous embodiment, the exhaust port is connected to the extraction means via a manifold that can collect the moist air of several heating cabinets. The cabinet has its own means of blowing, the air flow in the cabinet is well controlled despite the common extraction system.

Il est alors particulièrement avantageux que :

  • les branches du T soient parallèles à une direction d'alignement des armoires, et
  • le raccordement amovible soit un emmanchement qui est défaisable en écartant l'une de l'autre l'armoire chauffante et l'armoire adjacente.
According to a second aspect of the invention, in a heating cabinet whose humid air is evacuated by a collector, and which is adapted to be part of a row of similar cabinets, preferably a heating cabinet according to the first aspect, the manifold comprises a tubular T-connector whose leg is connected to the inside of the heating cabinet, and at least one pipe, one end of which can be removably connected to one of the branches of the T and the other end can be connected to a T-branch of a tubular connector of a similar adjacent cabinet. It is particularly advantageous that:
  • the branches of the T are parallel to a direction of alignment of the cabinets, and
  • the removable connection is a fit that is removable by separating the heating cabinet and the adjacent cabinet from each other.

Suivant un troisième aspect de l'invention, dans une armoire chauffante possédant une bouche d'évacuation d'air humide raccordée à un collecteur, de préférence une armoire chauffante selon le premier aspect ou selon le deuxième aspect, le collecteur est situé sur le dessus de l'armoire et masqué par un carénage oblique dont le bord inférieur est proche d'un bord supérieur d'une face avant de l'armoire. Ce carénage empêche le dépôt d'objets divers sur le dessus de l'armoire.According to a third aspect of the invention, in a heating cabinet having a wet air outlet connected to a collector, preferably a heating cabinet according to the first aspect or in the second aspect, the collector is located on the top of the cabinet and masked by an oblique fairing whose lower edge is close to an upper edge of a front face of the cabinet. This fairing prevents the deposit of various objects on the top of the cabinet.

Suivant un quatrième aspect de l'invention, dans une armoire chauffante possédant :

  • des moyens pour souffler de l'air dans le compartiment,
  • des moyens de chauffage pour chauffer l'air soufflé à son entrée dans le compartiment,
de préférence une armoire chauffante selon le premier, le deuxième ou le troisième aspect, les moyens de soufflage comprennent une turbine cylindrique allongée axialement soufflant l'air par une fente parallèle à l'axe de la turbine, ledit axe étant parallèle à une largeur de l'armoire.According to a fourth aspect of the invention, in a heating cabinet having:

  • heating means for heating the blown air at its entry into the compartment,
preferably a heating cabinet according to the first, second or third aspect, the blowing means comprise an axially elongated cylindrical turbine blowing air through a slot parallel to the axis of the turbine, said axis being parallel to a width of the wardrobe.

Suivant un cinquième aspect de l'invention, dans une armoire chauffante possédant :

  • des parois définissant un compartiment adapté pour recevoir des vêtements humides
  • des moyens pour souffler de l'air dans le compartiment,
  • des moyens de chauffage pour chauffer l'air soufflé dans le compartiment,
de préférence une armoire chauffante selon l'un des aspects précédents, les moyens de soufflage sont logés dans un logement inférieur, typiquement utilisable comme logement à chaussures, situé sous le compartiment, et relié à l'extérieur par une grille d'aspiration.According to a fifth aspect of the invention, in a heating cabinet having:
  • walls defining a compartment adapted to receive wet clothes
  • means for blowing air into the compartment,
  • heating means for heating the air blown into the compartment,
preferably a heating cabinet according to one of the above aspects, the blowing means are housed in a lower housing, typically used as a shoe compartment, located under the compartment, and connected to the outside by a suction grille.

On préfère que l'air soufflé et chauffé soit refoulé dans le compartiment par une bouche de soufflage prévue à travers une paroi verticale ou inclinée située vers le fond et vers l'arrière du compartiment.It is preferred that the blown and heated air is forced into the compartment by a blowing mouth provided through a vertical or inclined wall located towards the bottom and towards the rear of the compartment.

Dans une armoire chauffante conforme notamment à l'un des aspects précédents, possédant des moyens pour chauffer l'air dans un compartiment destiné à recevoir les vêtements humides ou mouillés, il est avantageux que les moyens de chauffage soient régulés par un thermostat sensible à la température dans le compartiment. On évite ainsi de chauffer excessivement les vêtements et chaussures, notamment quand ils ont fini de sécher. En outre, on limite le développement des micro-organismes et des mauvaises odeurs, et on optimise la consommation d'énergie.In a heating cabinet conforming in particular to one of the above aspects, having means for heating the air in a compartment intended to receive damp or wet clothing, it is advantageous for the heating means to be regulated by a thermostat sensitive to the temperature in the compartment. This avoids excessively heating clothes and shoes, especially when they have finished drying. In addition, it limits the development of micro-organisms and bad odors, and optimizes energy consumption.

L'armoire chauffante comprend avantageusement au moins une porte donnant accès au compartiment, équipée d'un contact qui commande une coupure des moyens de chauffage et/ou de soufflage lorsque la porte est ouverte.The heating cabinet advantageously comprises at least one door giving access to the compartment, equipped with a contact which controls a cutoff of the heating and / or blowing means when the door is open.

L'armoire chauffante, comportant tout ou partie des particularités présentées précédemment, peut être adaptée pour être raccordée à une alimentation électrique commune avec au moins une autre armoire semblable. Dans ce cas, elle comporte avantageusement un interrupteur de marche/arrêt individuel permettant d'arrêter son fonctionnement à volonté indépendamment de ladite au moins une autre armoire semblable.The heating cabinet, comprising all or some of the features presented above, can be adapted to be connected to a common power supply with at least one other similar cabinet. In this case, it advantageously comprises an individual on / off switch to stop its operation at will independently of said at least one other similar cabinet.

Il est avantageux de prévoir dans une armoire chauffante, notamment conforme à l'un des aspects précédents, une ligne bus à au moins deux conducteurs pour l'alimentation des moyens de soufflage et/ou de chauffage. La ligne bus s'étend entre deux prises permettant chacune de raccorder la ligne bus avec une ligne bus semblable d'une armoire adjacente à un côté latéral respectif de l'armoire chauffante. Ainsi une rangée d'armoires chauffantes peut être alimentée de façon commune, donc sans qu'il y ait besoin d'une prise murale ou analogue pour chaque armoire de la rangée ou batterie.It is advantageous to provide in a heating cabinet, in particular according to one of the above aspects, a bus line with at least two conductors for supplying the blowing and / or heating means. The bus line extends between two jacks each making it possible to connect the bus line with a similar bus line of a cabinet adjacent to a respective lateral side of the heating cabinet. Thus a row of heating cabinets can be fed with common way, so without there being need a wall outlet or the like for each cabinet in the row or battery.

Dans ce cas il est prévu au moins un raccord électrique à n conducteurs, pour le raccordement avec l'au moins une armoire semblable, le raccord comprenant à ses deux extrémités deux moyens de raccordement convenablement disposés et espacés pour raccorder électriquement l'une des prises de l'armoire chauffante avec une prise de l'armoire adjacente. Si par exemple l'installation est du type à deux conducteurs de puissance et un conducteur de terre le nombre n est égal à trois.In this case, at least one n-conductor electrical connection is provided for connection with the at least one similar cabinet, the connection comprising at its two ends two connection means suitably arranged and spaced to electrically connect one of the sockets. of the heating cabinet with a socket of the adjacent cabinet. If, for example, the installation is of the two-conductor type and the earth conductor, the number n is equal to three.

Suivant un autre aspect de l'invention, dans une armoire chauffante possédant :

  • des parois définissant un compartiment intérieur de séchage adapté pour recevoir des vêtements humides,
  • des moyens pour générer une circulation d'air dans le compartiment,
  • des moyens de chauffage pour activer l'évaporation de l'humidité des vêtements,
de préférence une armoire chauffante selon l'un des aspects précédents, il est avantageux que cette armoire comprenne en outre à côté du compartiment intérieur de séchage un second compartiment au moins approximativement abrité du flux d'air généré dans le compartiment de séchage et/ou de l'action directe des moyens de chauffage.According to another aspect of the invention, in a heating cabinet having:
  • walls defining an interior drying compartment adapted to receive wet clothes,
  • means for generating an air flow in the compartment,
  • heating means for activating evaporation of clothing moisture,
preferably a heating cabinet according to one of the above aspects, it is advantageous that this cabinet further comprises next to the inner drying compartment a second compartment at least approximately sheltered from the air flow generated in the drying compartment and / or direct action of the heating means.

Le second compartiment est très utile pour recevoir les vêtements secs que la personne porte en arrivant sur son lieu d'activité et qu'elle échange contre sa tenue d'activité (tenue de travail, de sport ou autres) avant de commencer ladite activité. Ce compartiment évite que des vêtements déjà secs soient endommagés (excessivement desséchés) par l'armoire chauffante. Il est toutefois avantageux que ces vêtements soient tenus au chaud (sans excès) par l'effet indirect des moyens de chauffage.The second compartment is very useful for receiving the dry clothes that the person wears when arriving at his place of activity and that he exchanges for his activity attire (work, sports or other clothing) before starting the activity. This compartment prevents clothes that are already dry from being damaged (excessively dried out) by the heating cabinet. However, it is advantageous for these clothes to be kept warm (without excess) by the indirect effect of the heating means.

De préférence, le second compartiment est délimité par au moins une cloison qui présente un bord antérieur sensiblement jointif avec une porte de l'armoire lorsque ladite porte est fermée.Preferably, the second compartment is delimited by at least one partition which has a substantially joined front edge with a door of the cabinet when said door is closed.

Il est avantageux que l'armoire comprenne une porte donnant accès au compartiment intérieur de séchage et une porte donnant accès au second compartiment, les deux portes s'ouvrant typiquement « à la française ».It is advantageous for the cabinet to include a door giving access to the interior drying compartment and a door giving access to the second compartment, the two doors typically opening "à la française".

Suivant encore un autre aspect de l'invention, il est avantageux qu'une armoire pour vestiaire, conforme notamment à l'un quelconque des aspects précédents, comporte en soubassement un coffre qui dépasse vers l'avant en formant par sa face supérieure un siège pour l'utilisateur. Ceci est particulièrement pratique pour les changements de chaussures, chaussettes, pantalons. Ce coffre agrandi vers l'avant par rapport à l'armoire proprement dite offre un grand volume permettant de ranger, selon la destination du vestiaire, des outils, des accessoires ou articles de sport, ou autres objets.According to yet another aspect of the invention, it is advantageous that a wardrobe for cloakroom, conforming in particular to any of the foregoing aspects, comprises in the underbody a trunk which protrudes forward by forming a seat on its upper face for the user. This is especially convenient for changes of shoes, socks, pants. This chest enlarged forward relative to the actual cabinet offers a large volume to store, depending on the destination cloakroom, tools, accessories or sporting goods, or other objects.

D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention ressortiront encore de la description ci-après, relative à des exemples non limitatifs.Other features and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description below, relating to non-limiting examples.

Dans l'exemple représenté aux figures 1 à 4, l'armoire chauffante 1 (figure 1) fait partie d'une batterie d'armoires 1c, 1b, 1, 1a etc. identiques disposées côte à côte suivant une rangée dans un local dont on voit le sol 2 et un mur extérieur 3. Chaque armoire possède une porte d'accès 4 située sur son côté frontal. Toutes les portes 4 sont accessibles d'un même côté (le côté vu de face à la figure 1) de la rangée sont situées sensiblement dans un même plan vertical.In the example shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the heating cabinet 1 ( figure 1 ) is part of a cabinet battery 1c, 1b, 1, 1a etc. identical identical arranged side by side in a row in a room which we see the floor 2 and an outer wall 3. Each cabinet has an access door 4 located on its front side. All doors 4 are accessible from the same side (the side seen from the front of the figure 1 ) of the row are located substantially in the same vertical plane.

L'armoire chauffante comprend un ensemble de parois définissant au moins un compartiment intérieur 6 prévu pour recevoir des vêtements humides ou mouillés 5. Ces parois comprennent une paroi arrière 7, une paroi supérieure 8, deux parois latérales 9 et un fond 11. La porte 4 donne accès au compartiment 6.The heating cabinet comprises a set of walls defining at least one inner compartment 6 designed to receive wet or wet clothes 5. These walls comprise a rear wall 7, an upper wall 8, two side walls 9 and a bottom 11. The door 4 gives access to compartment 6.

Des moyens 12 sont prévus pour souffler de l'air dans le compartiment 6. Dans l'exemple représenté, les moyens de soufflage 12, mieux visibles à la figure 3, comprennent une turbine cylindrique 13 allongée axialement soufflant l'air par une fente 14 parallèle à l'axe 16 de la turbine. Les moyens de soufflage 12 sont installés de façon que la fente 14 et l'axe 16 soient parallèles à la largeur de l'armoire. La turbine 13 est entraînée par un moteur électrique 17. La longueur axiale de la turbine 13 et la longueur de la fente 14 sont choisies pour être peu inférieures à la largeur du compartiment 6.Means 12 are provided for blowing air into the compartment 6. In the example shown, the blowing means 12, which is better visible on the figure 3 , comprise a cylindrical turbine 13 elongated axially blowing the air through a slot 14 parallel to the axis 16 of the turbine. The blowing means 12 are installed so that the slot 14 and the axis 16 are parallel to the width of the cabinet. The turbine 13 is driven by an electric motor 17. The axial length of the turbine 13 and the length of the slot 14 are chosen to be little less than the width of the compartment 6.

Les moyens de soufflage 12 sont installés dans un logement inférieur 18 situé sous le fond 11 du compartiment 6. Le logement 18 est relié à l'extérieur par une grille d'aspiration 19 montée dans une ouverture de la porte 4, et à travers laquelle passe l'air aspiré par les moyens de soufflage 12. Le logement inférieur 18 constitue un logement à chaussures 20. Comme représenté à la figure 2, les moyens de soufflage 12 sont supportés et protégés par un boîtier 21 qui est fixé sous le fond 11 et contre la paroi arrière 7 de l'armoire. Le boîtier 21 est convenablement ajouré pour que les moyens de soufflage puissent aspirer l'air provenant de la grille 19.The blowing means 12 are installed in a lower housing 18 located under the bottom 11 of the compartment 6. The housing 18 is connected to the outside by a suction grille 19 mounted in an opening of the door 4, and through which passes the air sucked by the blowing means 12. The lower housing 18 is a shoe compartment 20. As represented in figure 2 , the blowing means 12 are supported and protected by a housing 21 which is fixed under the bottom 11 and against the rear wall 7 of the cabinet. The housing 21 is suitably perforated so that the blowing means can suck the air coming from the grid 19.

La fente de refoulement 14 des moyens de soufflage 12 est placée en correspondance avec une ouverture allongée 22 pratiquée dans le fond 11 le long de la paroi arrière 7. Du côté de l'intérieur du compartiment 6, l'ouverture allongée 22 est recouverte par un capot 23 équipé d'une grille de ventilation 24 s'étendant selon un plan oblique et à travers laquelle l'air refoulé par les moyens de soufflage 12 parvient à l'intérieur du compartiment 6.The discharge slot 14 of the blowing means 12 is placed in correspondence with an elongate opening 22 formed in the bottom 11 along the rear wall 7. On the inside side of the compartment 6, the elongated opening 22 is covered by a hood 23 provided with a ventilation grid 24 extending in an oblique plane and through which the air discharged by the blowing means 12 reaches the inside of the compartment 6.

Des moyens de chauffage 26 sont agencés pour chauffer l'air soufflé peu avant son entrée dans le compartiment 6. Les moyens de chauffage 26 comprennent dans l'exemple décrit un élément chauffant électrique allongé 27 placé longitudinalement dans la fente de refoulement 14 des moyens de soufflage 12. Ainsi l'air passant par la fente 14 est chauffé au contact de l'élément chauffant 27 avant de pénétrer dans le compartiment 6.Heating means 26 are arranged to heat the blown air shortly before it enters the compartment 6. The heating means 26 comprise, in the example described, an elongated electric heating element 27 placed longitudinally in the discharge slot 14 of the heating means. 12. Thus the air passing through the slot 14 is heated in contact with the heating element 27 before entering the compartment 6.

Une bouche 28 est prévue dans la paroi supérieure 8 de l'armoire 1 pour l'évacuation de l'air humide hors du compartiment 6.A mouth 28 is provided in the upper wall 8 of the cabinet 1 for the evacuation of moist air out of the compartment 6.

Suivant l'invention, la bouche d'évacuation 28 est raccordée à des moyens d'extraction 29 (figure 1) qui aspirent l'air humide dans le compartiment 6 et expulsent cet air humide à l'extérieur du local où l'armoire 1 est installée. Dans l'exemple représenté les moyens d'extraction 29 comprennent un extracteur électrique 31 monté dans une ouverture 32 du mur 3 délimitant le local.According to the invention, the discharge mouth 28 is connected to extraction means 29 ( figure 1 ) that suck the moist air into the compartment 6 and expel this moist air outside the room where the cabinet 1 is installed. In the example shown, the extraction means 29 comprise an electric extractor 31 mounted in an opening 32 of the wall 3 delimiting the room.

La bouche d'évacuation 28 est reliée aux moyens d'extraction 29 par l'intermédiaire d'un collecteur 33 pouvant collecter l'air humide provenant de toutes les armoires chauffantes 1c, 1b, 1, 1a de la batterie (Figure 1).The outlet mouth 28 is connected to the extraction means 29 via a manifold 33 which can collect the moist air coming from all the heating cabinets 1c, 1b, 1, 1a of the battery ( Figure 1 ).

Pour chaque armoire, le collecteur comprend un raccord tubulaire en T 34 dont la jambe 36 se raccorde à la bouche 28 et communique ainsi avec l'intérieur de l'armoire chauffante et en particulier avec son compartiment 6. Le collecteur 33 comprend en outre des tuyaux 37 ayant chacun une extrémité qui peut être mise en raccordement amovible avec l'une des branches 38 du T et l'autre extrémité peut être mise en raccordement avec une branche 38 de T d'un raccord tubulaire d'une armoire adjacente semblable. Les tuyaux sont de préférence rectilignes, comme représenté. Les tuyaux 37 et les branches 38 des raccords 34 ont de préférence un diamètre plus grand que les bouches 28 et les jambes 36 des raccords 34, comme visible à la figure 2. Plus généralement, en réduisant la section de passage pour l'air extrait en sortie d'armoire par rapport à la section de passage pour l'air extrait commun à plusieurs armoires, on favorise une répartition équitable de l'aspiration dans les différentes armoires.For each cabinet, the manifold comprises a tubular connection T 34 whose leg 36 is connected to the mouth 28 and thus communicates with the inside of the heating cabinet and in particular with its compartment 6. The manifold 33 further comprises pipes 37 each having an end which can be removably connected to one of the legs 38 of the T and the other end can be connected to a branch 38 of T of a tubular connector of a similar adjacent cabinet. The pipes are preferably rectilinear, as shown. The pipes 37 and the branches 38 of the connectors 34 are preferably larger in diameter than the mouths 28 and the legs 36 of the connectors 34, as can be seen in FIG. figure 2 . More generally, by reducing the passage section for the air extracted at the cabinet outlet relative to the passage section for the exhaust air common to several cabinets, it promotes a fair distribution of suction in the various cabinets.

De préférence, les branches 38 du T sont parallèles à une direction d'alignement des armoires, ou parallèles à la largeur des armoires. Le raccordement amovible est alors, de manière encore plus préférée, un emmanchement qui est défaisable en écartant l'une de l'autre l'armoire chauffante et l'armoire adjacente qui sont raccordées entre elles par ce tuyau, comme représenté en ce qui concerne le tuyau 37b à la figure 1 alors que l'on est en train, par exemple pour une opération d'entretien, d'écarter l'armoire 1c de l'armoire 1b suivant la flèche 39 parallèle à la largeur des armoires.Preferably, the branches 38 of the T are parallel to a direction of alignment of the cabinets, or parallel to the width of the cabinets. The removable connection is then, even more preferably, a fitting that is removable by separating the heating cabinet and the adjacent cabinet from each other which are connected together by this pipe, as shown with respect to the pipe 37b at the figure 1 while one is in the process, for example for a maintenance operation, to move the cabinet 1c away from the cabinet 1b following the arrow 39 parallel to the width of the cabinets.

Suivant une autre particularité avantageuse de l'invention, le collecteur 33 est situé sur le dessus de l'armoire et il est masqué par un carénage 41 (voir figure 3, le carénage étant omis à la figure 1 pour une meilleure visibilité du collecteur). Il est particulièrement avantageux que le carénage s'étende obliquement vers l'arrière à partir de son bord inférieur 42 proche d'un bord supérieur d'une face avant de l'armoire. Ainsi agencé le carénage empêche le dépôt d'objets divers, comme des canettes vides ou des restes de nourriture, sur le dessus de l'armoire.According to another advantageous feature of the invention, the collector 33 is located on the top of the cabinet and is masked by a fairing 41 (see figure 3 , the fairing being omitted at the figure 1 for better visibility of the collector). It is particularly advantageous that the fairing extends obliquely rearward from its lower edge 42 near an upper edge of a front face of the cabinet. Thus arranged the fairing prevents the deposit of various items, such as empty cans or food scraps, on the top of the cupboard.

Des moyens d'alimentation électrique sont prévus pour les moyens de soufflage 12 et les moyens de chauffage 26. Ces moyens d'alimentation comprennent n conducteurs communs, à savoir deux conducteurs 43, 44 dans l'exemple simple représenté. L'un des conducteurs passe par un contact de porte 46 et par un interrupteur marche-arrêt 47. Quand la porte 4 est ouverte le contact de porte coupe l'alimentation des moyens de soufflage 12 et des moyens de chauffage 26. L'interrupteur marche-arrêt 47 permet, à volonté, de mettre en fonctionnement ou d'arrêter simultanément les moyens de soufflage 12 et les moyens de chauffage 26 d'une armoire indépendamment des autres de la rangée.Power supply means are provided for the blowing means 12 and the heating means 26. These supply means comprise n common conductors, namely two conductors 43, 44 in the simple example shown. One of the conductors passes through a door contact 46 and an on-off switch 47. When the door 4 is open the door contact interrupts the supply of the blowing means 12 and the heating means 26. The switch on-off 47 allows, at will, to operate or stop simultaneously the blowing means 12 and the heating means 26 of a cabinet independently of the others in the row.

Les n conducteurs communs se ramifient pour alimenter par une branche 48 le moteur 17 des moyens de soufflage. L'autre branche 49 alimente les moyens de chauffage 26 par l'intermédiaire d'un thermostat 51 qui est sensible à la température dans le compartiment 6. Le thermostat 51 ouvre la branche 49 et ainsi arrête les moyens de chauffage 26 lorsque la température excède un seuil haut, et remet en fonctionnement les moyens de chauffage lorsque le température redevient inférieure à un seuil bas. Des températures de l'ordre de 30°C dans le compartiment 6 sont convenables.The n common conductors ramify to supply by a branch 48 the motor 17 of the blowing means. The other branch 49 supplies the heating means 26 via a thermostat 51 which is sensitive to the temperature in the compartment 6. The thermostat 51 opens the branch 49 and thus stops the heating means 26 when the temperature exceeds a high threshold, and puts into operation the heating means when the temperature becomes below a low threshold. Temperatures of the order of 30 ° C. in compartment 6 are suitable.

L'armoire est conçue pour être raccordée à une alimentation commune à toutes les armoires 1c, 1b, 1, 1a de la batterie.The cabinet is designed to be connected to a power supply common to all the cabinets 1c, 1b, 1, 1a of the battery.

A cet effet, l'armoire comprend de préférence une ligne bus 52 à n conducteurs (n = 2 dans l'exemple simple représenté) qui s'étend entre deux prises 53 permettant chacune de raccorder la ligne bus avec une ligne bus semblable d'une armoire adjacente à un côté latéral respectif de l'armoire chauffante 1. Les moyens d'alimentation 43, 44 précités sont alimentés par un raccordement à la ligne bus, comme le montre la figure 1.For this purpose, the cabinet preferably comprises a bus line 52 with n conductors (n = 2 in the simple example shown) which extends between two receptacles 53 each making it possible to connect the bus line with a similar bus line of a cabinet adjacent to a respective lateral side of the heating cabinet 1. The aforementioned power supply means 43, 44 are supplied by a connection to the bus line, as shown in FIG. figure 1 .

Les lignes bus 52 des armoires adjacentes sont raccordées entre elles par des raccords électriques 54 à n conducteurs, qui comprennent, chacun à ses deux extrémités, deux moyens de raccordement 56 convenablement disposés et espacés pour raccorder l'une des prises d'une armoire chauffante avec une prise de l'armoire adjacente.The bus lines 52 of the adjacent cabinets are interconnected by electrical connections 54 with n conductors, which each comprise at its two ends, two connecting means 56 suitably arranged and spaced to connect one of the plugs of a heating cabinet with a plug of the adjacent cabinet.

On a représenté à la figure 4 que les moyens de raccordement 56 peuvent comporter des capuchons de protection isolants 57 qui sont poussés par des ressorts 58 dans une position où pour la sécurité des personnes et de l'installation ils interdisent l'accès aux contacts lorsqu'un moyen de raccordement 56 est débranché (partie gauche de la figure 4). Lors du branchement d'un moyen de raccordement 56 sur une prise 53 cette dernière repousse automatiquement le capuchon 57 à l'encontre de son ressort 58 (voir partie droite de la figure 4).We have shown figure 4 that the connecting means 56 may comprise insulating protective caps 57 which are pushed by springs 58 in a position where for the safety of persons and the installation they prevent access to the contacts when a connection means 56 is disconnected (left side of the figure 4 ). When connecting a connection means 56 to a socket 53 the latter automatically pushes the cap 57 against its spring 58 (see right part of the figure 4 ).

Dans l'exemple les cavaliers 54 sont sur le dessus des armoires et le mouvement pour leur insertion ou extraction est vertical. Pour pouvoir écarter une armoire (armoire 1c à la figure 1) il faut d'abord enlever le cavalier 54b, comme illustré.In the example the jumpers 54 are on the top of the cabinets and the movement for their insertion or extraction is vertical. To remove a cabinet (cabinet 1c at the figure 1 ) first remove jumper 54b as shown.

Les lignes bus 52 sont raccordées à une source de tension. Pour cela, il peut être prévu sur chaque armoire ou sur une armoire particulière une prise de courant 59 ou un cordon d'alimentation (non représenté), l'un ou l'autre raccordé à la ligne bus de cette armoire. En service il suffit qu'une seule armoire soit raccordée à une source électrique et toutes les autres armoires sont alimentées par les lignes bus 52 raccordées entre elles par les raccords 54. Il est aussi possible, par exemple, de prévoir un raccord tel que 54 spécial (non représenté) dont les conducteurs sont en outre raccordés à un cordon terminé par une prise classique pouvant être enfichée dans un socle de prise mural du local. Là encore on va par un seul branchement au réseau alimenter toute la batterie d'armoires.The bus lines 52 are connected to a voltage source. For this, it can be provided on each cabinet or on a particular cabinet a socket 59 or a power cord (not shown), one or the other connected to the bus line of this cabinet. In use only one cabinet is connected to a power source and all other cabinets are powered by the bus lines 52 connected together by the connectors 54. It is also possible, for example, to provide a connection such as 54 special (not shown) whose conductors are further connected to a cordon terminated by a conventional plug that can be plugged into a socket wall socket of the room. Again we go through a single connection to the network power all the cabinet battery.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 5 à 7, qui ne sera décrit que pour ses différences avec le précédent, le compartiment intérieur 6, ou compartiment de séchage, n'occupe qu'une partie de la largeur de l'armoire. L'armoire renferme en outre un second compartiment 66 qui est séparé du compartiment de séchage 6 par une cloison verticale 71 et qui occupe le reste de la largeur de l'armoire.In the embodiment of Figures 5 to 7 , which will only be described for its differences with the previous one, the inner compartment 6, or compartment drying, occupies only part of the width of the cabinet. The cabinet further contains a second compartment 66 which is separated from the drying compartment 6 by a vertical partition 71 and which occupies the rest of the width of the cabinet.

Les moyens de soufflage 12 et de chauffage 26, représentés de façon simplifiée à la Figure 7, sont plus courts, dans le sens de la largeur de l'armoire, que dans l'exemple de la Figure 1, pour ne s'étendre qu'en-dessous du compartiment de séchage 6 et n'envoyer de l'air chaud que dans celui-ci.The blowing means 12 and the heating means 26, represented in a simplified manner at the Figure 7 , are shorter, in the sense of the width of the cabinet, than in the example of the Figure 1 , to extend only below the drying compartment 6 and to send hot air only into it.

Le second compartiment est sensiblement isolé du flux d'air généré par les moyens de soufflage 12 par la cloison 71 précitée, par un plancher 72 qui sépare le second compartiment 66 du logement inférieur à chaussures 18 ici équipé de tiges support 73 sensiblement horizontales pour les chaussures ou bottes 20, et par un plafond intermédiaire 74 de séparation avec un logement supérieur 76 où l'on peut, par exemple, remiser des casques de protection. Les parois 71, 72, 74 ont chacune un bord antérieur respectif 81, 82, 84, qui forment ensemble un joint continu avec la face intérieure d'une porte de l'armoire, et un bord postérieur (non représenté) qui est jointif avec le fond 7 de l'armoire.The second compartment is substantially isolated from the air flow generated by the blowing means 12 by the above-mentioned partition 71, by a floor 72 which separates the second compartment 66 from the lower shoe compartment 18 here equipped with substantially horizontal support rods 73 for shoes or boots 20, and an intermediate ceiling 74 for separation with an upper housing 76 where one can, for example, store protective helmets. The walls 71, 72, 74 each have a respective leading edge 81, 82, 84, which together form a continuous seal with the interior face of a cabinet door, and a rear edge (not shown) which is joined with the bottom 7 of the cabinet.

Le second compartiment 66 est ainsi isolé de l'action directe des moyens de chauffage, tout en étant modérément chauffé par les parois 71 et 74 exposées à l'ambiance chaude par leur face adjacente au compartiment de séchage 6 et au logement supérieur 76.The second compartment 66 is thus isolated from the direct action of the heating means, while being moderately heated by the walls 71 and 74 exposed to the hot environment by their side adjacent to the drying compartment 6 and the upper housing 76.

Le compartiment de séchage 6 est séparé du logement supérieur 76 par un prolongement du plafond intermédiaire 74. Toutefois, une fente de passage d'air est ménagée entre ce prolongement et la porte. A cet effet, au-dessus du compartiment 6, le bord antérieur 86 du plafond intermédiaire 74 est décalé vers l'arrière par rapport au bord antérieur 84 pour permettre à l'air propulsé par les moyens de soufflage 12 de passer du compartiment de séchage 6 dans le logement supérieur 76 et, de là, dans le collecteur 33 (Figure 1).The drying compartment 6 is separated from the upper housing 76 by an extension of the intermediate ceiling 74. However, an air passage slot is provided between this extension and the door. For this purpose, above the compartment 6, the front edge 86 of the intermediate ceiling 74 is shifted rearwardly relative to the front edge 84 to allow air propelled by the blowing means 12 to pass from the compartment drying 6 in the upper housing 76 and thence in the manifold 33 ( Figure 1 ).

Comme le montre la figure 6, l'armoire comporte de préférence deux portes 87 s'ouvrant de préférence « à la française », c'est-à-dire en étant articulée chacune autour de son bord vertical opposé à l'autre porte. L'une des portes donne accès au compartiment de séchage 6, l'autre au second compartiment 66.As shown in figure 6 , the cabinet preferably comprises two doors 87 opening preferably "French", that is to say being articulated each around its vertical edge opposite the other door. One of the doors gives access to the drying compartment 6, the other to the second compartment 66.

Selon un second perfectionnement de ce deuxième mode de réalisation, indépendant du premier perfectionnement, l'armoire comporte en soubassement un coffre 88 qui dépasse vers l'avant relativement à la face avant du reste de l'armoire. Le coffre 88 comporte ainsi en partie avant une paroi supérieure 89 qui peut servir de siège pour l'utilisateur. En même temps, cette paroi supérieure est rétractable sous le corps principal de l'armoire pour donner accès au volume intérieur du coffre pouvant servir au rangement de divers objets (outils, accessoires de sport, etc.). Dans l'exemple représenté, la paroi supérieure 89 est constituée de 3 volets qui coulissent de façon télescopique. Le volume intérieur du coffre 88 est aéré par une grille 91.According to a second improvement of this second embodiment, independent of the first improvement, the cabinet has underbody a trunk 88 which protrudes forward relative to the front of the rest of the cabinet. The trunk 88 thus comprises in the front part an upper wall 89 which can serve as a seat for the user. At the same time, this upper wall is retractable under the main body of the cabinet to provide access to the interior volume of the trunk can be used for storing various objects (tools, sports accessories, etc.). In the example shown, the upper wall 89 consists of 3 flaps which slide telescopically. The interior volume of the trunk 88 is ventilated by a grid 91.

De préférence, le volume intérieur du coffre est isolé par une paroi fixe du volume intérieur du corps principal de l'armoire, en particulier, dans l'exemple, du logement inférieur 18.Preferably, the interior volume of the trunk is isolated by a fixed wall of the interior volume of the main body of the cabinet, in particular, in the example, the lower housing 18.

Bien entendu l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple décrit et représenté.Of course, the invention is not limited to the example described and shown.

L'armoire peut être une armoire individuelle et non pas une armoire modulaire pour batterie.The cabinet may be an individual cabinet and not a modular battery cabinet.

On a décrit des alimentations à deux fils mais bien entendu l'invention n'exclut pas les alimentations à trois ou quatre fils par exemple.Two-wire power supplies have been described, but of course the invention does not exclude three or four-wire power supplies, for example.

Il peut être prévu une porte séparée pour le logement inférieur, et/ou deux portes s'ouvrant par exemple à la française pour le compartiment. Il peut être prévu pour les moyens de soufflage une gaine d'aspiration qui provienne directement de l'extérieur de l'armoire, sans que l'air passe par un logement tel que le logement à chaussures de l'exemple décrit, dont la présence n'est d'ailleurs pas obligatoire.It can be provided a separate door for the lower housing, and / or two doors opening for example French for the compartment. It can be provided for the blowing means a suction duct that comes directly from outside the cabinet, without the air passes through a housing such as the shoe compartment of the example described, the presence of which is not mandatory.

Au lieu de chauffer l'air en sortie des moyens de soufflage 12, il peut être prévu dans le compartiment 6 au moins un panneau chauffant par rayonnement infrarouge, placé par exemple contre la face verticale arrière du compartiment de séchage 6.Instead of heating the air at the outlet of the blowing means 12, at least one infrared heating panel may be provided in the compartment 6, placed for example against the rear vertical face of the drying compartment 6.

Le raccord 54 peut être un cavalier rigide en forme de U permettant d'extraire les deux moyens de raccordement 56 par un seul et même mouvement d'extraction à la fois de l'une des prises 53 de l'armoire chauffante et d'une prise 53 de l'armoire adjacente.The connector 54 may be a rigid U-shaped jumper for extracting the two connection means 56 by one and the same extraction movement both of one of the jacks 53 of the heating cabinet and a socket 53 of the adjacent cabinet.

Plutôt que de placer les moyens d'extraction 29 à une extrémité du collecteur 33, il peut avantageusement être prévu de les raccorder au milieu de la longueur du collecteur 33. Dans ce cas, dans l'exemple représenté, l'un des tuyaux 37 peut être un tuyau spécial comprenant un piquage latéral qui se raccorde aux moyens d'extraction par une gaine (non représentée).Rather than placing the extraction means 29 at one end of the manifold 33, it may advantageously be provided to connect them to the middle of the length of the manifold 33. In this case, in the example shown, one of the hoses 37 may be a special hose comprising a lateral tapping which connects to the extraction means by a sheath (not shown).
