Description

L'invention concerne un module d'additif pour extincteur et un extincteur équipé d'un tel module.The invention relates to an additive module for fire extinguisher and a fire extinguisher equipped with such a module.

Les extincteurs d'incendie, qu'ils soient à pression permanente ou à pression auxiliaire, contiennent essentiellement de l'eau, propulsée par un gaz neutre sous pression. Pour améliorer les qualités d'extinction, il est connu d'ajouter à l'eau un additif, par exemple un additif fluoré. Le volume de cet additif est en général compris entre 1% et 6% du volume d'eau.Fire extinguishers, whether permanent pressure or auxiliary pressure, contain essentially water, propelled by a neutral gas under pressure. To improve the extinguishing qualities, it is known to add to the water an additive, for example a fluorinated additive. The volume of this additive is generally between 1% and 6% of the volume of water.

Dans des extincteurs à pression permanente, l'additif est mélangé à l'eau avant la mise en pression. L'entretien périodique de l'extincteur impose alors le remplacement du mélange d'eau et d'additif dans le respect des règles de protection de l'environnement.In permanent pressure fire extinguishers, the additive is mixed with water before pressurization. Periodic maintenance of the fire extinguisher then requires the replacement of the water and additive mixture in compliance with the rules of environmental protection.

Dans d'autres extincteurs à pression permanente, selon les documents FR 2 933 622 et FR 2 971 426 , l'additif est conservé à l'intérieur du réservoir de l'extincteur, et il n'est mélangé à l'eau du réservoir qu'au moment de l'actionnement de l'extincteur. Ainsi, lors de l'entretien de l'extincteur, l'eau et l'additif sont traités séparément. C'est seulement après utilisation de l'extincteur que le réservoir doit être nettoyé dans le respect des règles de protection de l'environnement car il a été en contact avec l'additif.In other permanent pressure fire extinguishers, according to the documents FR 2 933 622 and FR 2 971 426 the additive is kept inside the fire extinguisher tank and is mixed with the tank water only when the fire extinguisher is activated. Thus, during the maintenance of the fire extinguisher, the water and the additive are treated separately. It is only after using the fire extinguisher that the tank must be cleaned in compliance with the rules of environmental protection as it has been in contact with the additive.

Le même problème se rencontre avec les extincteurs à pression auxiliaire, selon le document FR 2 722 416 , dans lequel l'additif est logé dans un tube, sous la cartouche de gaz comprimé, le mélange étant réalisé à la mise sous pression de l'extincteur.The same problem is encountered with auxiliary fire extinguishers, according to the document FR 2,722,416 , in which the additive is housed in a tube, under the compressed gas cartridge, the mixture being produced at the pressurization of the extinguisher.

Dans tous les cas connus de l'état de la technique, la disposition de l'additif à l'intérieur du réservoir de l'extincteur présente des inconvénients. Tout d'abord, la vanne de sortie de l'extincteur est prévue pour de l'eau, et le mélange moussant de l'eau et de l'additif peut entrainer des perturbations ou nécessiter la modification de la géométrie de la vanne. Ensuite, la durée de vie de l'additif (entre 3 et 5 ans) impose son remplacement périodique avec démontage de l'extincteur. Enfin, après vidange de l'extincteur en cas d'utilisation, le nettoyage du réservoir doit être effectué dans le respect des règles de protection de l'environnement.In all cases known from the state of the art, the provision of the additive inside the fire extinguisher tank has drawbacks. First of all, the extinguisher outlet valve is provided for water, and the foaming mixture of water and additive can cause disturbances or require modification of the geometry of the valve. Then, the life of the additive (between 3 and 5 years) requires periodic replacement with dismantling of the fire extinguisher. Finally, after emptying the extinguisher in case of use, the tank must be cleaned in accordance with rules of environmental protection.

Pour éviter ces inconvénients, il est connu par les documents DE 10 2005 031 451 ou TW M 357 295 , de disposer un conteneur d'additif au voisinage du pulvérisateur, c'est-à-dire au bout de la lance reliant le réservoir au pulvérisateur. Cette disposition rend délicat le stockage de l'extincteur et alourdit le pulvérisateur qui doit être manipulé par l'opérateur.To avoid these disadvantages, it is known from the documents DE 10 2005 031 451 or TW M 357 295 , to have an additive container in the vicinity of the sprayer, that is to say at the end of the lance connecting the tank to the sprayer. This arrangement makes it difficult to store the extinguisher and weighs down the sprayer that must be handled by the operator.

L'un des buts de l'invention est de proposer un module d'additif pour extincteur qui ne présente pas les inconvénients précédents, qui soit adapté aussi bien aux extincteurs à pression permanente qu'aux extincteurs à pression auxiliaire, et qui soit adaptable aux extincteurs déjà en service et prévus pour fonctionner sans additif.One of the aims of the invention is to propose an extinguisher additive module that does not have the above drawbacks, which is suitable both for permanent pressure extinguishers and for auxiliary pressure extinguishers, and which is adaptable to extinguishers already in service and intended to operate without additives.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un module d'additif pour extincteur, dont la mise en oeuvre et la maintenance soient particulièrement simples.Another object of the invention is to provide an extinguisher additive module, the implementation and maintenance of which are particularly simple.

Un autre but de l'invention est de proposer un extincteur équipé d'un module d'additif extérieur au réservoir de l'extincteur.Another object of the invention is to provide a fire extinguisher equipped with an additive module outside the fire extinguisher tank.

La présente invention a pour objet un module d'additif, pour extincteur comportant un réservoir et une tête d'extincteur avec sortie apte à recevoir une lance avec pulvérisateur, le module comportant un corps apte à contenir l'additif, un manchon cylindrique, solidaire du corps, et des moyens de fixation d'une part, du manchon à la sortie de la tête d'extincteur, et d'autre part, de la lance au manchon, caractérisé en ce que le corps apte à contenir l'additif comporte deux canaux débouchant à l'intérieur du manchon.The present invention relates to an additive module, for fire extinguisher comprising a tank and a fire extinguisher head with outlet adapted to receive a lance with sprayer, the module comprising a body adapted to contain the additive, a cylindrical sleeve, solidary the body, and means for fixing, firstly, the sleeve at the exit of the extinguisher head, and secondly, from the lance to the sleeve, characterized in that the body capable of containing the additive comprises two channels opening inside the sleeve.

De manière avantageuse, les deux canaux sont disposés dans le plan de symétrie de l'extincteur et sont situés le premier près de la sortie de la tête d'extincteur, le second près de la lance.Advantageously, the two channels are arranged in the plane of symmetry of the extinguisher and are located first near the outlet of the extinguisher head, the second near the lance.

Avantageusement, le premier canal est plus long que le second.Advantageously, the first channel is longer than the second.

Avantageusement, les deux canaux comportent chacun un bouchon à leur extrémité située à l'intérieur du corps.Advantageously, the two channels each comprise a cap at their end located inside the body.

De manière avantageuse, le corps apte à contenir l'additif est fermé par un couvercle de forme correspondant à la forme extérieure de la partie supérieure du réservoir.Advantageously, the body adapted to contain the additive is closed by a shaped lid corresponding to the outer shape of the upper part of the tank.

De manière avantageuse, les moyens de fixation sont logés à l'intérieur du manchon.Advantageously, the fixing means are housed inside the sleeve.

Avantageusement, les moyens de fixation comprennent :

  • un tube coaxial au manchon, présentant une collerette intérieure d'appui sur la sortie de la tête d'extincteur et une collerette extérieure de maintien du manchon contre la sortie de la tête d'extincteur,

  • La figure 4 est une vue en perspective de la tête d'un extincteur équipé du module d'additif selon l'invention, en position opérationnelle, avant montage de la lance.
Other characteristics, details and advantages of the invention will emerge from the following description given with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • The figure 1 is a sectional view in the plane of symmetry of a fire extinguisher equipped with an additive module according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention;
  • The figure 2 is an exploded view of the extinguisher head and the additive module according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention;
  • The figure 3 is a sectional view in the plane of symmetry of the fire extinguisher head and the additive module according to the invention, in operational position;
  • The figure 4 is a perspective view of the head of a fire extinguisher equipped with the additive module according to the invention, in operational position, before mounting the lance.

Sur la figure 1, un extincteur 1 de type classique, à eau pressurisée, comprend un réservoir 2 et une tête d'extincteur 3. Cette tête d'extincteur 3, fixée au col du réservoir 2 comporte une poignée de transport 4, un tube plongeur 5 et un levier 6 de commande de la vanne de contrôle de la sortie du liquide 7 sous pression, en l'occurrence de l'eau. La tête d'extincteur 3 présente une sortie 8 taraudée, sur laquelle vient normalement se fixer la lance 9 se terminant par un pulvérisateur 10.On the figure 1 a fire extinguisher 1 of conventional type, with pressurized water, comprises a tank 2 and a fire extinguisher head 3. This extinguisher head 3, fixed to the neck of the tank 2 comprises a carrying handle 4, a plunger tube 5 and a control lever 6 of the control valve of the outlet of the liquid 7 under pressure, in this case water. The extinguisher head 3 has a threaded outlet 8 on which the lance 9, terminating in a sprayer 10, normally attaches.

Selon l'invention, entre la sortie 8 de la tête d'extincteur 3 et la lance 9, est disposé un module 11 d'additif. Le module 11 d'additif comporte un corps 12 apte à contenir l'additif 13, un manchon cylindrique 14 solidaire du corps 12, et des moyens de fixation 15, 16, 17, du manchon 14 à la sortie 8 de la tête d'extincteur 3 et de la lance 9 au manchon 14. Les moyens de fixation se composent d'un tube 15, d'une vis 16 à tête creuse et d'un raccord 17.According to the invention, between the outlet 8 of the extinguisher head 3 and the lance 9, an additive module 11 is arranged. The additive module 11 comprises a body 12 adapted to contain the additive 13, a cylindrical sleeve 14 integral with the body 12, and fixing means 15, 16, 17, of the sleeve 14 at the outlet 8 of the head of the extinguisher 3 and lance 9 to the sleeve 14. The fixing means consist of a tube 15, a screw 16 with a hollow head and a connector 17.

Le tube 15 est coaxial au manchon 14 et il glisse dans le manchon 14. A son extrémité proche de la sortie 8 de la tête d'extincteur 3, le tube 15 présente une collerette intérieure 18, destinée à coopérer avec la vis 16 à tête creuse pour assurer l'appui du tube 15 sur la sortie 8 de la tête d'extincteur 3. Avantageusement, entre la sortie 8 et la collerette intérieure 18, est disposé un joint d'étanchéité 19. La vis 16 à tête creuse est fixée dans un taraudage de la sortie 8 au moyen d'une clé Allen qui passe dans le tube 15. La vis 16 comporte un alésage axial sensiblement de même diamètre que la sortie 8 pour laisser passer l'eau sous pression lorsque l'extincteur fonctionne.The tube 15 is coaxial with the sleeve 14 and slides into the sleeve 14. At its end near the outlet 8 of the extinguisher head 3, the tube 15 has an inner flange 18, intended to cooperate with the screw 16 headed hollow to ensure the support of the tube 15 on the outlet 8 of the extinguisher head 3. Advantageously, between the outlet 8 and the inner flange 18, is disposed a seal 19. The screw 16 with hollow head is fixed in a tapping of the outlet 8 by means of an Allen key which passes through the tube 15. The screw 16 has an axial bore substantially the same diameter as the outlet 8 to let the pressurized water when the fire extinguisher works.

A son autre extrémité, le tube 15 présente une collerette extérieure 20 qui a un double rôle. D'une part, elle coopère avec un épaulement intérieur du manchon 14 pour assurer le maintien du manchon 14 contre la tête d'extincteur 3. D'autre part, elle comporte un taraudage pour recevoir le raccord 17 dans lequel va se visser l'extrémité proximale de la lance 9. Ainsi, avec des moyens de fixation composés de trois éléments, le tube 15, la vis à tête creuse 16 et le raccord de lance 17, l'interposition du module 11 est assurée avec d'une part sa fixation à la tête d'extincteur 3 et d'autre part la fixation de la lance 9 au module 11.At its other end, the tube 15 has an outer collar 20 which has a dual role. On the one hand, it cooperates with an inner shoulder of the sleeve 14 to maintain the sleeve 14 against the extinguisher head 3. On the other hand, it comprises a tapping to receive the connector 17 in which will screw itself proximal end of the lance 9. Thus, with fastening means composed of three elements, the tube 15, the hollow head screw 16 and the lance connector 17, the interposition of the module 11 is provided with on the one hand its attachment to the extinguisher head 3 and secondly the fixing of the lance 9 to the module 11.

Le corps 12 du module 11 est essentiellement logé entre le manchon 14 et la partie supérieure du réservoir 2 qui est généralement en forme d'ellipsoïde. Le corps 12 est creux pour contenir l'additif 13 dont le volume correspond à environ 1 à 6% du volume d'eau de l'extincteur. La forme du corps 12 est arrondie, pour ne pas déborder latéralement du réservoir, et le fond du corps 12 est fermé par un couvercle 21 maintenu par exemple par des vis 22. La forme du couvercle 21 correspond à la forme extérieure de la partie supérieure du réservoir 2.The body 12 of the module 11 is essentially housed between the sleeve 14 and the upper part of the reservoir 2 which is generally ellipsoid-shaped. The body 12 is hollow to contain the additive 13 whose volume corresponds to about 1 to 6% of the volume of water of the fire extinguisher. The shape of the body 12 is rounded so as not to protrude laterally from the reservoir, and the bottom of the body 12 is closed by a cover 21 held for example by 22. The shape of the cover 21 corresponds to the outer shape of the upper part of the tank 2.

Dans le plan de symétrie de l'extincteur 1 et du module 11 d'additif, le corps 12 comporte deux canaux 23, 24 pour assurer l'acheminement progressif de l'additif vers la lance 9 lorsque l'extincteur 1 fonctionne. Avantageusement, le premier canal 23 est disposé près de la sortie 8 de la tête d'extincteur 3 et le second canal 24 est disposé près de la lance 9. Les deux canaux 23, 24 débouchent à l'intérieur du manchon 14.In the plane of symmetry of the fire extinguisher 1 and the additive module 11, the body 12 comprises two channels 23, 24 to ensure the gradual delivery of the additive to the lance 9 when the fire extinguisher 1 operates. Advantageously, the first channel 23 is disposed near the outlet 8 of the extinguisher head 3 and the second channel 24 is disposed near the lance 9. The two channels 23, 24 open into the sleeve 14.

En regard des deux canaux 23, 24, le tube 15 comporte deux orifices 25, 26 pour assurer la communication entre le corps 12 et le manchon 14. Avantageusement, le premier canal 23 est plus long que le second canal 24. A l'intérieur du corps 12, chacun des canaux 23, 24 est muni d'un bouchon 27,28 respectivement. Ces bouchons 27, 28 sont mis en place avant le remplissage du corps 12 avec l'additif 13, et ils empêchent l'additif 13 de s'écouler vers le manchon 14 pendant le transport de l'extincteur 1 et jusqu'à l'utilisation de l'extincteur.Opposite the two channels 23, 24, the tube 15 has two orifices 25, 26 to ensure the communication between the body 12 and the sleeve 14. Advantageously, the first channel 23 is longer than the second channel 24. Inside of the body 12, each of the channels 23, 24 is provided with a plug 27, 28 respectively. These plugs 27, 28 are put in place before the filling of the body 12 with the additive 13, and they prevent the additive 13 from flowing to the sleeve 14 during the transportation of the extinguisher 1 and up to the use of fire extinguisher.

L'installation du module 11 d'additif et le fonctionnement de l'extincteur se déroulent de la manière décrite ci-après.The installation of the additive module 11 and the operation of the fire extinguisher proceed as described below.

Dans le module 11 vide, les bouchons 27 et 28 sont mis en place aux extrémités intérieures des canaux 23 et 24, respectivement. Le module 11 étant renversé, l'additif 13 est versé dans le module 11. Le couvercle 21 est mis en place, avec interposition d'un joint d'étanchéité, et fixé en position au moyen des vis 22. Le module 11 est redressé et le tube 15 est inséré dans le manchon 14 avec ses orifices 25, 26 en regard des canaux 23, 24, respectivement. Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, le tube 15 est surmoulé dans le manchon 14.In the empty module 11, the plugs 27 and 28 are put in place at the inner ends of the channels 23 and 24, respectively. The module 11 being reversed, the additive 13 is poured into the module 11. The cover 21 is put in place, with the interposition of a seal, and fixed in position by means of the screws 22. The module 11 is straightened and the tube 15 is inserted into the sleeve 14 with its orifices 25, 26 facing the channels 23, 24, respectively. According to a particular embodiment, the tube 15 is overmolded in the sleeve 14.

La vis à tête creuse 16 est placée au bout d'une clé Allen et introduite dans le tube 15 jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit en butée sur la collerette intérieure 18.The socket screw 16 is placed at the end of an Allen key and inserted into the tube 15 until it abuts on the inner collar 18.

Le module 11 est mis sensiblement en place sur le dessus du réservoir 2, avec le manchon 14 dans l'axe de la sortie 8 de la tête d'extincteur 3. Le joint d'étanchéité 19 est mise en place. Au moyen de la clé Allen, la vis à tête creuse 16 est vissée dans le taraudage de la sortie 8 de la tête d'extincteur 3. Le raccord 17 de lance est vissé dans le taraudage de la collerette extérieure 20 du tube 15, et la lance 9 est vissée par son extrémité proximale dans le raccord 17 de lance.The module 11 is substantially placed on top of the tank 2, with the sleeve 14 in the axis of the outlet 8 of the extinguisher head 3. The seal 19 is put in place. Using the Allen key, the socket screw 16 is screwed into the tapping of the outlet 8 of the extinguisher head 3. The spigot connector 17 is screwed into the tapping of the outer flange. 20 of the tube 15, and the lance 9 is screwed by its proximal end into the lance connector 17.

L'extincteur 1 est alors prêt à fonctionner. La mise en fonctionnement de l'extincteur 1 est assurée par manoeuvre du levier 6 de commande de vanne, de manière classique. Le liquide 7, qui est en principe de l'eau, est expulsé par la pression régnant dans le réservoir 2 ; il remonte dans le tube plongeur 5, passe dans la tête d'extincteur 3, et passe dans le tube 15 et la lance 9 jusqu'au pulvérisateur 10 où il est dirigé vers le feu à éteindre.The fire extinguisher 1 is then ready for operation. The extinguisher 1 is operated by operating the valve control lever 6 in a conventional manner. The liquid 7, which is in principle water, is expelled by the pressure prevailing in the tank 2; it goes up in the plunger tube 5, passes into the extinguisher head 3, and passes into the tube 15 and the lance 9 to the sprayer 10 where it is directed to the fire to extinguish.

Lors de la mise en pression de l'intérieur du tube 15, les deux bouchons 27 et 28 sont repoussés dans le corps 12. Du liquide sous pression traverse le canal 23, et de l'additif 13 traverse le canal 24 et se mélange au liquide 7 qui pénètre dans la lance 9. Cet additif additionné au liquide 7 assure la formation d'une mousse en sortie du pulvérisateur 10.When the inside of the tube 15 is pressurized, the two plugs 27 and 28 are pushed back into the body 12. Pressurized liquid passes through the channel 23, and additive 13 passes through the channel 24 and mixes with the liquid 7 which enters the lance 9. This additive added to the liquid 7 ensures the formation of a foam at the outlet of the sprayer 10.

Le module 1 contient suffisamment d'additif 13, et les diamètres des canaux 23 et 24 sont déterminés pour que la création de mousse soit assurée tout au long de la durée de fonctionnement de l'extincteur. Au cours du fonctionnement de l'extincteur, le liquide 7 remplit le corps 12 en se mélangeant à l'additif 13 et le mélange est acheminé vers la lance 9 et le pulvérisateur 10.The module 1 contains enough additive 13, and the diameters of the channels 23 and 24 are determined so that the creation of foam is ensured throughout the operating life of the fire extinguisher. During operation of the fire extinguisher, the liquid 7 fills the body 12 by mixing with the additive 13 and the mixture is conveyed to the lance 9 and the sprayer 10.

A la mise en fonctionnement de l'extincteur, lorsque le liquide 7 arrive a pulvérisateur 10, une contre-pression est générée qui remonte jusqu'au tube 15 et aux canaux 23 et 24. Cette contre-pression assure l'expulsion des bouchons 27 et 28 au cas où ils n'auraient pas déjà été expulsés dans le corps 12.When the fire extinguisher is put into operation, when the liquid reaches the sprayer 10, a back pressure is generated which rises up to the tube 15 and to the channels 23 and 24. This back pressure ensures the expulsion of the plugs 27 and 28 in case they have not already been expelled into the body.

Le module d'additif selon l'invention présente plusieurs avantages. Tout d'abord il est simple à monter sur un extincteur. Il est adapté aux extincteurs à eau pressurisée et aux extincteurs à pression auxiliaire, que ces extincteurs soient neufs ou déjà en service.The additive module according to the invention has several advantages. First of all it is simple to mount on a fire extinguisher. It is suitable for pressurized water extinguishers and auxiliary pressure extinguishers, whether these extinguishers are new or already in service.

Etant fixé à la tête d'extincteur, il n'augmente pas sensiblement l'encombrement de l'extincteur. Etant à l'extérieur du réservoir, le module d'additif est contrôlable indépendamment du liquide de l'extincteur. Ainsi la maintenance est facilitée car la durée de vie de l'additif, 3 à 5 ans, est inférieure à celle de l'extincteur proprement dit (sans le module). Le remplacement de l'additif ne met en cause qu'un volume limité à 1 à 6% du volume du réservoir, et le traitement ou le recyclage de l'additif périmé est plus facile, moins polluant et moins coûteux.Being attached to the extinguisher head, it does not significantly increase the size of the fire extinguisher. Being outside the tank, the additive module is controllable independently of the liquid extinguisher. Thus the maintenance is facilitated because the life of the additive, 3 to 5 years, is less than that of the fire extinguisher itself (without the module). The replacement of the additive involves only a volume limited to 1 to 6% of the volume of the tank, and the treatment or recycling of the expired additive is easier, less polluting and less expensive.

Etant totalement séparé de l'eau du réservoir de l'extincteur, l'additif conserve son efficacité extinctrice complète et la mousse en sortie de pulvérisateur est de grande qualité.Being completely separated from the water of the fire extinguisher tank, the additive retains its complete fire-fighting efficiency and the foam at the outlet of the sprayer is of high quality.
