Definitions
- the invention relates to a particular valve for gas cylinder, more particularly to a particular valve for gas cylinder equipped with a residual pressure maintenance function.
- Gas cylinder valves are currently commonly equipped with a residual pressure maintenance device.
- the residual pressure is typically of the order of a few bars (such as 3 bars or 44 psi). This device prevents the penetration of impurities by possible reflux in the bottles in use, or by contact with the atmosphere in unconnected bottles and whose valve and remained open.
- This type of device usually consists of a calibrated valve arranged upstream of the valve valve.
- This valve is arranged so that elastic means exert a closing force, the valve being configured so that the high pressure present in the bottle pushes easily the valve so as to open when there is a request for debit.
- the valve closes, preventing any backflow.
- the bottle is almost empty to the point that the pressure within it is lower than the calibration pressure necessary to open the valve, no gas can be withdrawn.
- the valve remains permanently closed, the contents of the bottle remains isolated from the outside even when the tap valve is open.
- No. 5,048,565 discloses a gas cylinder valve provided with a closing valve, a residual pressure valve and a safety valve.
- the residual pressure valve can be controlled in the open position for filling via a device pneumatically or mechanically controlled opening (eg via a lever or an external tool).
- Patent document EP 0 372 279 A1 discloses a residual pressure valve which can be placed in the open position by rotation of a control member in a quarter of a turn.
- the valve and the control member are equipped with a cam device for converting the rotational movement of the control member into a translation movement of the valve.
- the opening control of a residual pressure valve as disclosed in the two documents mentioned above is in principle reserved for qualified personnel for filling bottles. It is indeed important that the valve can not be opened outside the filling operations.
- the opening of the valve requires a particular procedure such as an auxiliary compressed air connection or such as the intervention of particular tools.
- US Patent 3,820,560 discloses a diving cylinder valve comprising a residual pressure valve equipped with a control lever. The latter acts in rotation on an axis provided with cam profiles acting on a corresponding part acting itself on the moving part of the residual pressure valve. Actuation of the lever makes it possible to force the valve in the open position.
- the valve has a movable seat that allows the filling of the bottle without having to open the valve by means of the lever.
- the lever allows easy opening of the valve but no security is provided to prevent opening of the valve when the bottle is in use.
- the tap of this teaching is indeed intended to provide a supply of oxygen during scuba diving.
- the operation of the lever is intended to give access to this reserve.
- the technical problem to be solved by the invention consists in proposing a valve for a gas cylinder equipped with a device for maintaining residual pressure and whose filling operation is facilitated.
- the invention relates to a valve for gas under pressure, in particular for a gas cylinder, comprising: a body with an inlet, an outlet and a passage connecting the inlet with the outlet; a device for maintaining a residual pressure at the inlet when the valve is in use, the device being arranged in the passage between the inlet and the outlet; a rotational control member disposed on the body configured to control the forced opening of the residual pressure holding device so as to deactivate it; remarkable in that it further comprises: an auxiliary device separate from the residual pressure maintaining device; and in that the rotational controller comprises at least one control track configured for rotation of the controller to control the residual pressure maintaining device and the auxiliary device.
- the residual pressure maintaining device is active when it performs its residual pressure maintenance function. In service flow, it is open. When there is no flow but sufficient pressure in the bottle, it can be either open or closed, depending on its construction. It is inactive when it is in the forced open position.
- the valve can be dimensioned for gases under a pressure of more than 50 bar, more particularly more than 100 bar.
- the rotary control member has a general disc shape, and is preferably disposed outside the body.
- the rotary control member may be plastic.
- the body and / or the rotary control member may comprise indexing means.
- the body and / or the rotary control member may comprise locking means to a particular position such as the filling position.
- the body comprises a circular groove on which the rotary control member is clipped.
- the auxiliary device is a closure device of the passage, preferably disposed downstream of the residual pressure maintenance device.
- the rotary control member comprises a first filling position of the bottle where the residual pressure holding device is in the forced open position (that is to say is deactivated), and preferably the closure device, is open; a second closed position of the bottle where the residual pressure maintaining device is active and the closing device is closed; a third service position where the residual pressure maintaining device is active and the closing device is open; the first, second and third positions being preferably consecutive with respect to the rotation of the rotary control member.
- the rotary control member comprises a first track for controlling the residual pressure holding device and a second track for controlling the auxiliary device, the first track and / or or the second track preferably having recesses corresponding to stop positions and configured to generate at the rotary control member a feeling of said stop positions.
- the residual pressure holding device and the auxiliary device each comprise a member movable in translation in at least substantially parallel directions, the control member being rotatable around an axis of rotation at least substantially parallel to these directions.
- the valve body comprises a gas inlet connection with a main axis, and a longitudinal axis generally parallel to the main axis of said coupling, the translation directions of the movable members of the residual pressure maintaining device and the auxiliary device being at least substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis.
- the valve comprises a first control rod of the residual pressure holding device, cooperating with the track or one of the tracks of the rotary control member.
- the valve comprises a second control rod of the auxiliary device cooperating with the track or one of the tracks of the rotary control member, the second rod being disposed at least substantially parallel to the first rod.
- the first and the second rod are disposed on either side of an axis of rotation of the rotary control member.
- the auxiliary device comprises a shutter cooperating with a seat and normally brought into contact with said seat by elastic means in a direction corresponding to that of the gas when the valve is in use.
- the second control rod being configured to move the shutter in a direction opposite to the direction of the force exerted by the elastic means.
- the first and / or the second control rod comprises / each comprise an abutment limiting their movement in the direction opposite to that of control.
- the first and / or the second control rod comprises / each comprise a contact portion with the one or more control tracks of the rotary control member, the contact portion or portions normally extending beyond the body.
- the residual pressure holding device comprises a shutter cooperating with a preferably fixed seat, and normally brought into contact with said seat by elastic means in a direction corresponding to that of the gas when the faucet is in use.
- the shutter comprises a first portion cooperating with the seat and having a first section, and a second portion of a second section greater than the first section, the first and second portions delimiting with the body a first high pressure chamber in contact with the inlet of the valve, the second portion comprising sealing means cooperating with a corresponding surface.
- the second portion of the shutter defines with the body a second chamber in contact with the passage of the body downstream of the first portion and the seat via a channel of the shutter.
- the measures of the invention have the advantage of ensuring control of the residual pressure maintaining device coordinated with an auxiliary device such as a valve closing / opening the valve. In this way, the residual pressure maintaining device can remain normally closed during normal operation of the tap (it being understood that the residual pressure maintaining device opens automatically when there is a demand for gas flow) .
- the construction is particularly simple and easy to implement.
- Figure 1 is a plan view of a valve for a gas cylinder, according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a sectional view of the valve of Figure 1 along the axis 2-
- Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the valve of Figure 1.
- FIG. 4 is an isometric view of the valve wheel of Figures 1 to 3. Description of the embodiments
- Figure 1 illustrates a gas cylinder valve, according to the invention.
- the valve 2 comprises a body 4, preferably generally solid.
- the body 4 comprises a connection connection 6 to a gas cylinder (not shown). This fitting is in the form of conical thread and corresponds to an inlet 7 of the valve.
- the body 4 also includes a gas outlet 9.
- the valve is provided with a steering wheel 8 disposed laterally on the body 4. This flywheel 8 is a control wheel of a residual pressure holding device and a valve valve.
- FIG. 2 which is a sectional view along the axis 2-2 of Figure 1, illustrates the interior of the upper part of the valve.
- the body encloses a valve 14 for closing the passage 10 connecting the gas inlet (FIG. 7) with the outlet 9.
- the body comprises a chamber 22 connected to the inlet 7 (FIG. figurel) via a residual pressure maintaining device (FIG. 3, reference 38).
- the chamber contains a shutter 16 held in pressure against a seat 18 by a spring 20.
- the spring 20 bears on the bottom of the chamber 22.
- the seat 18 consists of a pellet with a central hole, made of material suitable for ensure sealing with the shutter 16.
- the latter may be of metal material and the seat may be of plastic material such as for example nylon.
- the seat 18 is sandwiched between a shoulder formed in the body 4 of the valve and a seat support 26 held in pressure against the shoulder by a clamping piece 30 screwed into a cavity of the body 4.
- a seal 28 as well as optionally an anti-extrusion ring are provided between the seat support 26 and its housing in the body 4. This is a static seal since the seat support 26 is stationary.
- the seat support 26 includes a central bore extending along its main axis. This bore accommodates a control rod 12 of the shutter 16 of the valve 14.
- the control rod 12 comprises a groove with a seal 24 and optionally an anti-extrusion ring so as to seal with the bore of the seat support 26 in which she is lodged.
- the seal is dynamic because the control rod is able to move in translation along its main axis. It also comprises a shoulder intended to bear against a corresponding shoulder of the clamping piece 30. A first end (left according to FIG. 2) is in front of the shutter 16 and a second end (on the right according to FIG. 2) leaves the body 4 of the valve and cooperates with a profiled surface of the steering wheel 8.
- the valve 14 is configured so that the shutter 16 is disposed on the upstream side of the seat 18 and the spring 20 maintains it normally in pressure against the seat 18. In this way, the valve closes naturally and the pressure of the bottle also exerts pressure on the shutter 16 facing the seat 18. As will be explained in more detail in connection with the 3 and 4, the rotation of the wheel 8 to open the valve 14 will move the control rod 12 to the shutter 16 so as to move it away from its seat 18 and allow the passage of gas from the chamber 22 to the output 9.
- the control rod 12 In the closed position of the valve, corresponding to that illustrated in Figure 2, the control rod 12 is not pressurized between the contoured surface of the wheel 8 and the front face of the shutter 16 , so as to ensure a satisfactory seal and to allow a matting or tamping of the seat according to the pressure exerted and according to the number of cycles and / or the age of the valve.
- the control rod 12 in the closed position of the valve 14, has at least one of its ends at a distance from its respective contact surface according to a suitable mechanical clearance.
- FIG 3 which is a longitudinal sectional view of the valve of Figure 1, illustrates the interior of the valve.
- the passage 10 made in the body 4 connects the input 7 to the output (not visible in this figure but in Figure 2, reference 9).
- the passage opening towards the top of the valve body is in direct communication with the chamber containing the valve 14. It may be intended to be connected to a manometer. It should be noted that the tap illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 is incomplete at its upper part.
- the body 4 encloses a residual pressure holding device 38 in the bottle.
- the latter is disposed at the passage 10 connecting the inlet 7 to the valve outlet, upstream of the valve 14.
- It essentially comprises a shutter 43 cooperating with a seat 41, similarly to the valve 14, but with the important difference that the shutter defines a first variable volume chamber 39 upstream of the seat 41.
- the shutter 43 in fact comprises a first portion 44 cooperating with the seat 41 of the body 4 of the valve, and a second portion 42 sealingly sliding with a wall of the body 4. This wall may be formed by a part 40 attached in a body bore, as shown in FIG. 3.
- the second portion 43 has a section greater than that of the first portion 44, which makes it possible, when applying the pressure coming from the bottle, to generate a resultant force on the shutter 43 directed to the second portion.
- This force is opposed to the force of the spring or springs 46 arranged between the screwed piece 40 and the face of the shutter 43 corresponding to the second portion.
- the elastic force of the springs 46 and the sectional difference between the second and first portions are dimensioned so as to allow movement of the shutter and hence the opening of the gas passage from a given pressure.
- This minimum pressure for the opening of the residual pressure maintaining device may be of the order of a few bars, such as 3 bars. This pressure corresponds to the residual pressure that will be in the bottle when the contents of the latter have been consumed and that it will no longer deliver gas.
- a channel 45 formed in the shutter 43 connects a second chamber 39 with the gas passage 10 directly downstream of the shutter 43.
- the second chamber 39 is defined by the housing of the shutter 43 and its rear face corresponding to its second portion 42. If one tries to fill the bottle without first opening the residual pressure maintaining device, the filling pressure will be established in the chamber 39 which has an effective section corresponding to the second portion of the shutter, this section being greater than that of the first portion. This then results in a force on the shutter directed in the closing direction of the latter.
- a control rod 36 is partially disposed in the gas passage 10 directly downstream of the seat 41 and the shutter 43 of the residual pressure holding device 38.
- This control rod is similar to the control rod 12 of the valve 14. It is slidably mounted in a bore of the body 4, parallel to the control rod 12. It also has a shoulder intended to cooperate with a corresponding shoulder of the body 4, so as to limit its displacement in the direction of closure of the residual pressure maintaining device 38.
- a spring is further provided to assist the movement of the rod 36 towards the flywheel 8.
- Means such as a seal possibly accompanied by an anti-extrusion ring, are provided in a groove of the control rod 36, so as to ensure a seal with the bore of the body 4.
- a first end of the rod of control is vis-à-vis the first portion 44 of the shutter 43 and a second end is in contact with a profile surface of the flywheel 8. Similar to the valve 14, the control rod is sized to be able to work correctly the residual pressure maintenance device, despite any matting of the contact surfaces between the seat 41 and the shutter 43. To do this, a mechanical play is provided between the first end (the left one according to Figure 3 ) of the control rod 36 and the shutter 43 when the steering wheel is in a position not acting on the residual pressure maintenance device.
- the mechanical clearance may be between 0.1 mm and 2 mm, preferably between 0.1 and 1 mm, more preferably between 0.1 and 0.5 mm.
- the flywheel 8 comprises a main disk-shaped part and a skirt formed by a series of sections 32 and 48, some of which are provided with a portion of hook shape intended to cooperate with a groove 34 (FIG. 3) formed on the body 2.
- a first track 50 is intended to cooperate with the control rod 36 of the residual pressure maintenance device. It comprises a sliding surface for the corresponding end of the control rod, this sliding surface having a profile inclined so as to move the control rod during the rotation of the flywheel 8.
- the first track 50 comprises two recesses or points rest for the corresponding end of the control rod.
- a first recess 52 corresponds to a first position of the control rod where it does not control the residual pressure maintenance device.
- This first hollow corresponds to a portion of the track where its profile is the lowest or remote from the body of the valve.
- a second hollow 54 corresponds to a second position of the control rod where it forces the opening of the residual pressure maintenance device.
- the second hollow corresponds to a portion of the track where its profile is the highest or closest to the body of the valve.
- the first track also comprises a clearance zone 56 extending the track from the first recess 52. This clearance zone is designed not to move the corresponding control rod.
- a second track 58 is intended to cooperate with the control rod 12 of the valve 14.
- the second track comprises a sliding surface for the corresponding end of the control rod, this surface of sliding having an inclined profile so as to move the control rod during the rotation of the wheel 8. It comprises three recesses or rest points for the corresponding end of the control rod.
- a first hollow 64 disposed at a central portion of the track forming a lower portion of the track. The first depression corresponds to a position of the steering wheel where the valve is not controlled, that is to say is normally closed.
- a second recess 60 and a third recess 62 are arranged, respectively, at the ends of the track 58. These ends correspond to high or near portions of the valve body.
- the second and third hollows correspond to positions of the steering wheel where the valve is actuated, that is to say is put in the open state.
- the first recess 52 of the first track 50 and the first recess 64 of the second track correspond to a closed position of the valve, that is to say a position where the valve and the residual pressure maintaining device are normally closed.
- the control rods 12 and 36 are diametrically opposed relative to the center of rotation of the wheel 8, so that the first recesses 52 and 64 of the first and second tracks are also diametrically opposed. .
- the second recess 54 of the first track 50 and the third recess 62 of the second track 58 correspond to a filling position of the bottle.
- the second recess 54 of the first track 50 makes it possible to force the opening of the residual pressure-maintaining device and the third recess 62 of the second track 58 ensures the opening of the valve 14.
- the opening of the valve 14 is in principle not necessary given its construction in the form of a valve which can open naturally under the filling pressure.
- the closing spring 20 of the shutter 16 of the valve 14 is quite powerful, in particular to ensure a satisfactory level of safety and sealing for the valve.
- the pressure and, consequently, the flow rate resulting from the gas at the outlet of the valve during filling could be greatly reduced when the valve 14 passes in the absence of forced opening thereof. This is the reason why an opening of the valve 14 is provided during the filling of the bottle.
- the second recess 60 of the second track 58 and the clearance zone 56 of the first track 50 correspond to a service position of the valve. Indeed, the second recess 60 provides a displacement of the control rod of the valve forcing its opening while the clearance zone 56 of the first track 50 ensures undisturbed operation of the residual pressure maintenance device.
- the first and second tracks are concentric and describe, each, about a semicircle.
- the two tracks have essentially the same radius. However, they could have different radii. In this case, the tracks could describe more than one semicircle.
- the positioning of the control rods of the valve and the residual pressure holding device on either side of the center of rotation of the steering wheel allows a balancing of the pressures exerted by the rods on the steering wheel.
- the control rods are arranged in a sector less than 180 °, more precisely 90 °, or even aligned on a spoke.
- the steering wheel therefore has three positions: a first filling position of the bottle where the residual pressure maintaining device is deactivated, that is to say in the forced open position, and the valve is open;
- the first, second and third positions are consecutive with respect to the rotation of the rotary control member.
- valve of the invention is not exclusively intended to be mounted on a gas cylinder. It can in particular be mounted on bodies or pipes of gas under pressure.
