Definitions
- the present invention relates to the joints of the double-door sealed transfer devices of a container to a cell comprising a cell flange in which is mounted a cell door and a container flange in which is mounted a container door.
- the cell door has a seal and the container flange also has a seal.
- Watertight transfer devices are already known, equipped with two lip seals, two lips per contact face. These joints are in opposition by their point. They theoretically realize a linear contact and stop contamination or pollution. In practice, because of the tolerances of the parts and the joints in presence, this line becomes a torus called area of uncertainty because this zone is found in the ambient atmosphere (outside the confinement) and in the atmosphere of the confinement during the leak-proof double door openings, leaving a doubt about the integrity of the containment. The mass of material at the joint tip does not allow a greater compression of the joints that can reduce this area of uncertainty. Indeed, it increases the closing torque and opening during the rotation of the parts of the junction, which would involve too much effort for the operator.
- the first lips form chambers under the effect of the compression during the connection. Part of the air is expelled outside and at the time of disconnection, during the separation of the container from the cell flange, the first lips create suction forces called suction.
- the subject of the present invention is specifically watertight double-port junction joints which remedy these disadvantages. More specifically, the invention relates to a double sealed transfer door, comprising a cell flange in which is mounted a cell door, and a container flange in which is mounted a container door. A first seal is mounted in the cell door and a second seal is mounted in the container flange. At least one of the first and second seals comprises a cell in which is trapped a quantity of air sealingly.
- At least one of the first and second seals has a nose in which is housed the cell, two lips on either side of the nose and a heel located behind the nose and lips.
- the bead is formed of two parts that can be brought into contact with one another in a sealed contact surface to trap a quantity of air.
- This type of seal can equip the container flange and the cell door. It can be made of different materials depending on the requirements of use (EPDM, VITON, SILICONE, etc.) whose hardness is compatible with the flexibility of the lips and the nose. The air is trapped in the cell tightly through the junction of the two contact surfaces of the heels by their compression by mechanical mounting of the seal flange.
- the two parts of the heel are assembled to one another according to the contact surface by gluing.
- one of the two parts of the heel comprises a removable film, a layer of adhesive being interposed between the contact surface of said portion of the heel and the removable film.
- the alveolus of the nose of the seal makes it possible to fill a gap in the nose due to tolerances, avoiding the spread of contamination.
- At least one of the first and second seals has a nose, two lips located on either side of the nose, a heel consisting of a first and a second part located behind the nose. and two lips, a cell being formed in the nose and two cells being formed on either side of the cell of the nose, along each of the two lips, each cell sealingly sealing a quantity of air .
- the double sealed transfer door comprises a seal support ring fixed on the cell door or on the container flange, the first bead portion and the second bead portion having a shape allowing the seal between the first and second bead portions. heel portion and the support ring on the one hand, between the second bead portion and the support ring on the other hand.
- the double sealed transfer door comprises two seals, one of which has two internal cheeks establishing a separation between the cell formed in the nose of the seal and each of the cells formed on either side of the alveolus of the nose , the inner cheeks being terminated by rods respectively coming to be housed in two grooves formed in the seal support ring.
- the double sealed transfer door comprises an air supply channel of the cell formed in the nose of the seal and two air supply channels of the cells located along the each of the two lips, on either side of the cell of the nose, each of the cells being supplied with air independently.
- the channels supply sterile air to the different cells according to the connection cycle of the junction. These channels are on the same diameter D, which allows to collect them in the hinge and out of the cell flange avoiding any piping inside the cell.
- the purpose of the nose recess is to marry at best the end surfaces of the cell flange and the container door to minimize the area of uncertainty thereby decreasing the risk of contamination.
- the invention relates to a method of operating a double sealed transfer door according to the present invention.
- this operating method starting from the position in which the cell door is locked on the cell flange and the container door is locked on the container flange, the container being at a distance from the cell: the cell formed is pressed under the lip which bears against the cell flange,
- the nose cell is placed in equipressure, - the cell formed along the cell door is depressurized,
- the container is approached from the cell, the container is locked on the cell flange, and simultaneously the container door is unlatched from the container flange and the container door is locked on the cell door,
- the cell formed along the cell door is pressurized
- the cell door is opened, the container door being secured to the cell door,
- the cell door is closed on the cell flange, the container door being secured to the cell door,
- the cell formed along the cell door is depressurized, the container flange is unlatched from the cell flange and simultaneously the container door of the cell door is unlocked and the container door is locked on the container flange and the container is moved away from the cell,
- Figures 1 and 2 are two schematic representations that illustrate the coupling of a container on a cell
- Figures 3 and 4 are sectional views on an enlarged scale of "the sealing function" of a junction of the prior art
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of a first embodiment of a seal according to the present invention.
- Figure 6 is a sectional view of a junction showing the use of a seal according to a first embodiment and a seal according to a second embodiment of the invention

- FIGS. 3 and 4 show sectional views on an enlarged scale of the "sealing function" of a container assembly on a cell flange of the prior art.
- Figure 3 is designated by the reference 134, the uncertainty zone between the container door 8 and the cell door 5.
- This game is called inter-door. It can not be avoided because of the manufacturing tolerances necessary for the operation of the spin locks.
- inter ⁇ door a first lip 126 of the seal 130 covers the container door 132 away from the end of the container door. This results in the appearance of a non-sealed annular complementary volume 136 between the container door 8 and the bearing on this door of the seal 138 of the container flange.
- the equivalents of the uncertainty zones 134 and 136 are found at 136 'between the lip 126' of the seal 130 and the cell flange 4 and at 134 'between the cell flange 4 and the lip 139.
- the volumes 134, 136, 134 ', 136' can be significant depending on the tolerances. They are of the order of 8 to 11 cm 3 and the contaminated surface is of the order of 150 to 300 cm 2 , for a nominal diameter of 270 mm.
- FIG. 5 An enlarged view of the seal 10 in the free state, as it is after injection.
- the seal 10 has a nose 16, two lips 14 and 15 located on either side of the nose 16 and a heel 12, 12 'located behind the nose 16 and the lips 14 and 15.
- the heel is formed of two parts 12, 12 'which can be brought into contact with each other along a contact surface 13 on the heel portion 12 and a contact surface 13' on the heel part 12 '.
- the seal 10 has an axis of symmetry ZZ. On either side of the nose 16 there are also two bearing faces 16 '.
- the seal shown in the free state in FIG. 5, can be closed by bringing the contact surfaces 13 and 13 'closer to each other and keeping them applied to one another, for example by compression mechanical exerted at heels 12 and 12 '.
- This provides a tight connection of the surfaces 13 and 13 ', which has the effect of creating a cavity 11 or chamber in which is trapped a sealed volume of air.
- glue the surfaces 13 and 13 'against each other by means of adhesive-type glue.
- one of the two parts 12 or 12 'of the heel comprises a removable film.
- a layer of glue is interposed between the contact surface 13 or 13 'and the removable film.
- the cell 11 of the nose 16 of the seal 10 makes it possible to fill a nock-shaped gap of the nose 16. This gap is due to the manufacturing tolerances of the components of the double sealed transfer door. Thanks to the presence of the cell 11 is avoided the spread of contamination.
- the seal may be made of different materials depending on the requirements of use (EPDM, VITON, SILICONE, etc.) whose hardness is compatible with the flexibility of the lips 14 and 15 and the nose 16.
- FIG. 6 shows a sectional view of a double sealed transfer door whose junction comprises a seal 10 made according to a first embodiment of the invention, and a seal 30 made according to a second embodiment of FIG. the invention.
- the cell door 5 is housed inside the cell flange 4.

- FIG. 6A shows a view along the arrow F of FIG. 6 showing the three channels 331, 321, 311 implanted on the support ring 50 and the cell door 5 along the diameter D.
- the seal 10 is positively maintained in its groove by the ring 17 which facilitates its mounting without risk of injury.
- the compression of the heels 12 and 12 'by the ring 17 provides several seals. It seals the heel 12 on the container flange 7. It also seals the two inner faces 13 and 13 'of the heels 12 and 12' which trap the air in the cell 11 guaranteeing the return in its original position of the nose 16 after disconnection of the container from the flange and the cell door (see Figure 5).
- the flexibility of the nose 16 thanks to its thin wall, makes it possible to marry at best the interstice of the zone of uncertainty, which reduces it to its strict minimum. In the case of the two joints 10 in opposition, the zone of uncertainty disappears almost completely, as well as the risk of contamination.
- the flexibility of the nose also has the effect of reducing the effect of suction. This avoids the need for venting through channels such as channels 127 and 129 of the prior art (see FIGS. 3 and 4). This reduces the risk of contamination.
- a seal 30, made according to a second embodiment of the invention, is housed inside the cell door 5.
- the seal 30 has a nose 30a, two lips 34 and 35 located on either side of the nose 30a, a heel consisting of a first portion 36 and a second portion 37.
- the first portion 36 and the second portion 37 of the heel are located behind the nose 30a and two lips 34 and 35.
- the seal 30 has three cells.
- Two other cells 32 and 33 are formed on either side of the nose cell 31, along each of the two lips 34 and 35.
- Each of the cells sealingly impregnates a quantity of air.
- the purpose of the lips 34 and 35 is to serve as security and sealing in case of bursting or failure of air supply to one or other of the cells 31, 32 or 33.
- the double sealed transfer door shown in FIG. 6 comprises a seal support ring 50 fixed on the cell door 5 or on the container flange 7 in the case where a type gasket 30 is disposed in the container flange.
- the seal support ring 50 performs the following functions:
- each of the channels 321, 311 and 331 are located on the same diameter D.
- these channels are doubled and diametrically opposed and brought from the hinge side of the cell door to the outside of the cell flange by integrated circuits at the cell door at the hinge and the flange of the cell door. cell to prevent any tubing in the cell.
- the hinge serves as a collector for outgoing through the body of the cell flange 5. All of these circuits avoids the flexible pipes and sealed cell wall penetrations, thereby reducing the risk of contamination and the internal dimensions of the cell 2;
- Figures 7a to 7e illustrate the operation of a seal according to the second embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 7a shows the closed cell door on the cell flange.
- the cell 32 is in pressure, ensuring perfect tightness of the seal vis-à-vis the cell flange, as well as maintaining the internal pressure of the cell.
- the container 6 is at a distance from the cell flange and its cell door. It is closer, according to the arrow Fl of the cell flange and its cell door and locked by a rotation schematized by the arrow F2 in Figure 7a. This has the simultaneous effect of locking the container flange on the cell flange, unlocking its door from its flange and locking it on the cell door.
- FIG. 7c shows the opening of the double door 58 along arrow F3.
- the cell 32 is depressurized or slightly depressed to prevent any suction effect. This eliminates the need to provide channels such as channels 127 and 129 of the prior art (see Figure 4).
- Figure 7d shows the closure of the double door 58 along arrow F4.
- the cell 32 is pressurized and then the cavity 33 is depressurized or slightly depressed to avoid any suction effect.
- the slight pressure of the cell 31 of the nose is maintained.
- FIG. 7e shows the return to the initial position of FIG. 7a after unlocking the container by rotation along arrow F5 and its evacuation along arrow F6.
- the cell 31 is depressurized. It is possible to keep the cell 31 always under slight pressure as a precaution to best mask the residual uncertainty zone at the cell flange tip.
