Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'éclairage en milieu aquatique.The present invention relates to a lighting device in an aquatic environment.
Un dispositif d'éclairage en milieu aquatique connu de l'état de la technique, notamment du document
- une carte électronique comportant une surface, dite surface avant,
- des moyens d'émission de lumière montés sur la surface avant de la carte électronique,
- un capot de protection agencé pour protéger la carte électronique et les moyens d'émission de lumière,
- des moyens de transfert thermique agencés pour transférer la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission de lumière vers le milieu aquatique.
- an electronic card comprising a surface, said front surface,
- light emitting means mounted on the front surface of the electronic card,
- a protective cover arranged to protect the electronic card and the light-emitting means,
- heat transfer means arranged to transfer the heat produced by the light emitting means to the aquatic environment.
Les moyens de transfert thermique comportent une platine métallique montée sur la surface, dite arrière, opposée à la surface avant de la carte électronique. La platine métallique est destinée à être immergée dans le milieu aquatique afin de bénéficier d'un échange thermique avec le milieu aquatique pour être refroidie. La platine métallique permet donc de dissiper la chaleur produite essentiellement par les moyens d'émission de lumière, tels que des diodes électroluminescentes, notamment de puissance. En effet, en l'absence de moyens de transfert thermique, il est observé que la température de la carte électronique augmente fortement, ce qui peut détériorer la carte électronique et les moyens d'émission de lumière en cas de fonctionnement prolongé du dispositif.The heat transfer means comprise a metal plate mounted on the surface, said back, opposite to the front surface of the electronic card. The metal plate is intended to be immersed in the aquatic environment to benefit from a heat exchange with the aquatic environment to be cooled. The metal plate thus makes it possible to dissipate the heat produced essentially by the light-emitting means, such as light-emitting diodes, especially power diodes. Indeed, in the absence of heat transfer means, it is observed that the temperature of the electronic card increases sharply, which can deteriorate the electronic card and the light emitting means in case of prolonged operation of the device.
Cependant, un tel dispositif de l'état de la technique n'est pas entièrement satisfaisant dans la mesure où il nécessite un joint d'étanchéité conique, typiquement en caoutchouc, disposé entre la platine métallique et le capot de protection, de manière à empêcher la mise en contact de la carte électronique et des moyens d'émission de lumière avec le milieu aquatique.However, such a device of the state of the art is not entirely satisfactory insofar as it requires a conical seal, typically rubber, disposed between the metal plate and the protective cover, so as to prevent contacting the electronic card and the light emitting means with the aquatic medium.
Or, ce joint d'étanchéité conique nécessite la formation d'épaulements dans le capot de protection afin de créer des surfaces de support pour le joint d'étanchéité. La formation d'épaulements dans le capot de protection entraîne également la formation d'épaulements dans la platine métallique. En effet, la platine métallique repose en partie sur la surface arrière de la carte électronique, et en partie sur les épaulements du capot de protection. Par conséquent, un tel dispositif de l'état de la technique introduit une complexité dans sa fabrication par des usinages spécifiques du capot de protection et de la platine métallique.However, this conical seal requires the formation of shoulders in the protective cover to create support surfaces for the seal sealing. The formation of shoulders in the protective cap also causes the formation of shoulders in the metal plate. Indeed, the metal plate rests partly on the rear surface of the electronic card, and partly on the shoulders of the protective cover. Therefore, such a device of the state of the art introduces complexity in its manufacture by specific machining of the protective cover and the metal plate.
Par ailleurs, la platine métallique est soumise à la pression extérieure du milieu aquatique. Or, la platine métallique, rigide, transmet des contraintes très importantes au joint d'étanchéité. Le joint d'étanchéité subit des pertes en compression en raison de dilatations différentielles avec la platine métallique, ce qui est préjudiciable en terme de durée de vie du joint d'étanchéité, et par là-même du dispositif.In addition, the metal platinum is subjected to the external pressure of the aquatic environment. However, the metal plate, rigid, transmits very important constraints to the seal. The seal suffers compression losses due to differential expansion with the metal plate, which is detrimental in terms of service life of the seal, and hence the device.
Le document
- une carte électronique comportant une surface, dite surface avant,
- des moyens d'émission de lumière montés sur la surface avant de la carte électronique,
- un capot de protection agencé pour protéger la carte électronique et les moyens d'émission de lumière,
- des moyens de transfert thermique agencés pour transférer la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission de lumière vers le milieu aquatique,
- an electronic card comprising a surface, said front surface,
- light emitting means mounted on the front surface of the electronic card,
- a protective cover arranged to protect the electronic card and the light-emitting means,
- heat transfer means arranged to transfer the heat produced by the light-emitting means to the aquatic environment,
Par « couche de résine », on entend une couche réalisée dans un matériau à base d'une résine. Ledit matériau peut être monocomposant ou multicomposant. Ledit matériau peut être utilisé pour des opérations d'enrobage ou de remplissage (« potting » en langue anglaise). Ledit matériau peut être une colle.By "resin layer" is meant a layer made of a material based on a resin. Said material may be monocomponent or multicomponent. Said material can be used for coating or filling operations ("potting" in English). Said material can be an adhesive.
Par « thermiquement conductrice », on entend une couche de résine qui présente une conductivité thermique adaptée pour dissiper la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission de lumière, la couche de résine pouvant présenter un rapport avec la conductivité de l'air supérieur ou égal à 5.By "thermally conductive" is meant a layer of resin which has a thermal conductivity adapted to dissipate the heat produced by the light-emitting means, the resin layer being able to have a relationship with the conductivity of the air greater than or equal to at 5.
Il est à noter qu'une couche de résine ne se confond pas avec une mousse.It should be noted that a layer of resin is not confused with a foam.
Ainsi, une telle couche de résine permet d'assurer à la fois :
- le transfert de la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission de lumière vers la surface d'échange thermique, et
- l'étanchéité du capot de protection avec la surface d'échange thermique de manière à empêcher la mise en contact de la carte électronique et des moyens d'émission de lumière avec le milieu aquatique.
- transferring the heat produced by the light emitting means to the heat exchange surface, and
- sealing the protective cover with the heat exchange surface so as to prevent contact of the electronic card and the light emitting means with the aquatic medium.
Un tel dispositif selon l'invention peut donc être fabriqué aisément en l'absence de joint d'étanchéité dédié et d'usinages spécifiques notamment du capot de protection.Such a device according to the invention can therefore be easily manufactured in the absence of a dedicated seal and specific machining including the protective cover.
En outre, une telle couche de résine permet de mieux absorber la pression extérieure du milieu aquatique relativement à une platine métallique, ce qui permet d'améliorer la durée de vie du dispositif.In addition, such a resin layer makes it possible to better absorb the external pressure of the aquatic medium relative to a metal plate, which makes it possible to improve the service life of the device.
Le dispositif comporte des collimateurs agencés sur la surface avant de la carte électronique pour collimater la lumière émise par les moyens d'émission de lumière, et la couche de résine présente une épaisseur inférieure à la hauteur des collimateurs.The device comprises collimators arranged on the front surface of the electronic card to collimate the light emitted by the light emitting means, and the resin layer has a thickness less than the height of the collimators.
Ainsi, il est possible d'obtenir un dispositif d'éclairage en milieu aquatique à grande distance, compact et simple à fabriquer. Une telle épaisseur de résine permet de s'affranchir de la présence moyens de blocage en translation sur les collimateurs pour bloquer en translation la résine suivant la direction perpendiculaire à la surface avant en cas de surmoulage au-dessus des collimateurs.Thus, it is possible to obtain a lighting device in a long distance aquatic environment, compact and simple to manufacture. Such a resin thickness makes it possible to overcome the presence of translation locking means on the collimators in order to block the resin in translation in the direction perpendicular to the front surface in case of overmoulding above the collimators.
Avantageusement, les collimateurs comportent un épaulement s'étendant sur la surface avant de la carte électronique, et la couche de résine s'étend sur l'épaulement.Advantageously, the collimators comprise a shoulder extending on the front surface of the electronic card, and the resin layer extends on the shoulder.
Ainsi, un tel épaulement permet d'améliorer significativement l'adhérence et l'étanchéité de la couche de résine avec les collimateurs.Thus, such a shoulder significantly improves the adhesion and sealing of the resin layer with the collimators.
Avantageusement, l'épaisseur de la couche de résine et la hauteur des collimateurs présentent un ratio supérieur à 0,7, de préférence compris entre 0,85 et 0,95.Advantageously, the thickness of the resin layer and the height of the collimators have a ratio greater than 0.7, preferably between 0.85 and 0.95.
Ainsi, un tel ratio permet d'allier une bonne conductivité thermique de la couche de résine et une bonne étanchéité entre la couche de résine et les collimateurs.Thus, such a ratio makes it possible to combine a good thermal conductivity of the resin layer and a good seal between the resin layer and the collimators.
Avantageusement, la couche de résine et les collimateurs présentent une interface, et les collimateurs sont adaptés de sorte que l'interface possède une tension de surface comprise entre 65 x10-5 N (65 dyn) et 80 x10-5 N (80 dyn).Advantageously, the resin layer and the collimators have an interface, and the collimators are adapted so that the interface has a surface tension of between 65 × 10 -5 N (65 dyn) and 80 × 10 -5 N (80 dyn). .
Ainsi, une telle tension de surface permet d'obtenir une interface avec une excellente étanchéité. Les collimateurs sont préférentiellement adaptés au moyen d'un traitement de surface tel que le flammage.Thus, such a surface tension makes it possible to obtain an interface with excellent sealing. The collimators are preferably adapted by means of a surface treatment such as flaming.
Dans un mode de réalisation, le rapport entre l'aire de ladite surface de contact direct et l'aire de la surface avant est supérieur ou égal à 5%, de préférence supérieur ou égal à 10%, encore préférentiellement supérieur ou égal à 20%.In one embodiment, the ratio between the area of said direct contact surface and the area of the front surface is greater than or equal to 5%, preferably greater than or equal to 10%, still more preferably greater than or equal to 20%. %.
Ainsi, le fait que la couche de résine est en contact direct avec la surface avant de la carte électronique permet de supprimer l'air entre la carte électronique et le capot de protection, et d'améliorer par là-même la dissipation de chaleur car l'air est un mauvais conducteur thermique. L'aire de la surface de contact direct est adaptée à la puissance des moyens d'émission de lumière.Thus, the fact that the resin layer is in direct contact with the front surface of the electronic card makes it possible to eliminate the air between the electronic card and the protective cap, and to thereby improve the heat dissipation because the air is a bad thermal conductor. The area of the direct contact surface is adapted to the power of the light emitting means.
Dans un mode de réalisation, la couche de résine s'étend sur toute la surface avant de la carte électronique en contact direct.In one embodiment, the resin layer extends over the entire front surface of the electronic board in direct contact.
Ainsi, la dissipation de la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission de lumière est facilitée en augmentant l'aire de la surface d'échange thermique.Thus, the dissipation of the heat produced by the light emitting means is facilitated by increasing the area of the heat exchange surface.
Dans un mode de réalisation, la carte électronique comporte une surface, dite surface arrière, opposée à la surface avant, la couche de résine présente une surface de contact direct avec la surface arrière de la carte électronique, et le rapport entre l'aire de ladite surface de contact direct et l'aire de la surface arrière est supérieur ou égal à 5%, de préférence supérieur ou égal à 10%, encore préférentiellement supérieur ou égal à 20%.In one embodiment, the electronic board has a surface, said rear surface, opposite to the front surface, the resin layer has a surface of direct contact with the rear surface of the electronic board, and the ratio of the area of said direct contact surface and the area of the rear surface is greater than or equal to 5%, preferably greater than or equal to 10%, still more preferably greater than or equal to 20%.
Ainsi, pour certaines cartes électroniques, par exemple de type SMI (Substrat Métallique Isolé), la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission de lumière s'accumule principalement à la surface arrière de la carte électronique. Le fait que la couche de résine est en contact direct avec la surface arrière de la carte électronique permet le transfert de ladite chaleur vers la surface d'échange thermique.Thus, for some electronic cards, for example of the SMI (Isolated Metal Substrate) type, the heat produced by the light emitting means mainly accumulates on the rear surface of the electronic card. The fact that the resin layer is in direct contact with the back surface of the electronic card allows the transfer of said heat to the heat exchange surface.
Dans un mode de réalisation, la carte électronique comporte une surface, dite surface arrière, opposée à la surface avant, et la couche de résine s'étend sur toute la surface arrière de la carte électronique en contact direct.In one embodiment, the electronic board has a surface, said rear surface, opposite the front surface, and the resin layer extends over the entire rear surface of the electronic card in direct contact.
Ainsi, la dissipation de la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission de lumière est facilitée en augmentant l'aire de la surface d'échange thermique.Thus, the dissipation of the heat produced by the light emitting means is facilitated by increasing the area of the heat exchange surface.
Dans un mode de réalisation, les moyens de transfert thermique comportent un échangeur de chaleur interposé entre la carte électronique et la couche de résine, l'échangeur de chaleur étant de préférence sélectionné dans le groupe comportant une platine métallique ou un échangeur à ailettes en U.In one embodiment, the heat transfer means comprise a heat exchanger interposed between the electronic card and the resin layer, the heat exchanger being preferably selected from the group comprising a metal plate or a U-shaped fin heat exchanger. .
Ainsi, le fait d'intercaler un échangeur de chaleur entre la carte électronique et la couche de résine permet de réduire l'épaisseur de la couche de résine nécessaire pour obtenir une surface d'échange thermique à contact direct avec le milieu aquatique.Thus, the fact of inserting a heat exchanger between the electronic card and the resin layer makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the resin layer necessary to obtain a heat exchange surface with direct contact with the aquatic environment.
Avantageusement, la couche de résine est agencée pour recouvrir l'échangeur de chaleur.Advantageously, the resin layer is arranged to cover the heat exchanger.
Ainsi, une telle couche de résine assure la fonction supplémentaire de protection de l'échangeur de chaleur, notamment contre la corrosion.Thus, such a resin layer provides the additional function of protecting the heat exchanger, in particular against corrosion.
Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif comporte des collimateurs agencés pour collimater la lumière émise par les moyens d'émission de lumière.In one embodiment, the device comprises collimators arranged to collimate the light emitted by the light emitting means.
Ainsi, il est possible d'obtenir un éclairage en milieu aquatique à grande distance.Thus, it is possible to obtain lighting in the aquatic environment at great distances.
Le dispositif comporte des orifices traversant ménagés dans la carte électronique en regard des collimateurs.The device comprises through orifices formed in the electronic card facing the collimators.
Ainsi, de tels orifices traversant permettent d'éviter la formation de bulles d'air dans la couche de résine issu de l'air emprisonné entre les collimateurs et la carte électronique. De tels orifices traversant permettent d'évacuer l'air.Thus, such through holes prevent the formation of air bubbles in the resin layer from the air trapped between the collimators and the electronic card. Such through holes allow to evacuate the air.
Avantageusement, la couche de résine comporte une charge métallique.Advantageously, the resin layer comprises a metal filler.
Ainsi, la présence d'une charge métallique permet d'augmenter la conductivité thermique de la couche de résine, et par là-même d'améliorer le transfert de la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission de lumière vers la surface d'échange thermique.Thus, the presence of a metal filler makes it possible to increase the thermal conductivity of the resin layer, and thereby to improve the transfer of the heat produced by the light-emitting means towards the exchange surface. thermal.
Dans un mode de réalisation, la couche de résine présente un coefficient de dilatation adapté relativement au coefficient de dilatation de la carte électronique et à la température du milieu aquatique de manière à éviter notamment l'arrachement des moyens d'émission de lumière lorsque le dispositif est immergé dans le milieu aquatique.In one embodiment, the resin layer has a coefficient of expansion adapted to the coefficient of expansion of the electronic card and the temperature of the aquatic medium so as to avoid in particular tearing of the light emitting means when the device is immersed in the aquatic environment.
Ainsi, une telle couche de résine permet de protéger la carte électronique de déformations liées à la pression extérieure du milieu aquatique.Thus, such a layer of resin protects the electronic map deformations related to the external pressure of the aquatic environment.
Selon une forme d'exécution, la couche de résine est réalisée à base d'une résine de coulée sélectionnée dans le groupe comportant les polyépoxydes, les polyuréthanes, les polyesters et les polysiloxanes, les acryliques et les méthacrylates de méthyle.According to one embodiment, the resin layer is made based on a casting resin selected from the group comprising polyepoxides, polyurethanes, polyesters and polysiloxanes, acrylics and methyl methacrylates.
Ainsi, de telles résines sont choisies notamment pour leur souplesse et leur conductivité thermique nettement supérieure à celle de l'air.Thus, such resins are chosen in particular for their flexibility and their thermal conductivity much higher than that of air.

Le premier dispositif illustré aux
- une carte électronique 1 comportant une surface,
dite surface avant 11, - des moyens d'émission 2 de lumière, de préférence de type diode électroluminescente, montés sur la
surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1, - un
capot de protection 4 agencé pour protéger la carte électronique 1 et les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière, - des moyens de transfert thermique agencés pour transférer la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière vers le milieu aquatique.
- an
electronic card 1 comprising a surface, saidfront surface 11, - light emitting means 2, preferably light-emitting diode type, mounted on the
front surface 11 of theelectronic card 1, - a
protective cover 4 arranged to protect theelectronic card 1 and the light emission means 2, - heat transfer means arranged to transfer the heat produced by the light emitting means 2 to the aquatic medium.
La carte électronique 1 comporte un circuit de commande des moyens d'émission 2 de lumière. La carte électronique 1 présente préférentiellement la forme d'un disque. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, la carte électronique 1 peut également présenter la forme d'un parallélépipède. La surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1 est avantageusement plane. La surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1 est de préférence circulaire. La carte électronique 1 peut être réalisée dans un matériau qui est un bon conducteur thermique afin de répartir uniformément la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière à la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1. La surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1 peut comporter un revêtement adapté pour réfléchir la lumière et/ou la chaleur afin d'accroître le transfert de chaleur vers la surface d'échange thermique 30.The
Les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière peuvent être répartis à la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1 de manière à éviter une concentration locale de chaleur. Ainsi, les distances entre deux zones voisines de la surface avant 11 occupées par les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière peuvent être sensiblement identiques.The light emitting means 2 can be distributed to the
Le dispositif comporte des collimateurs 310 agencés sur la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1 pour collimater la lumière émise par les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière. Les collimateurs 310 peuvent être reliés entre eux par des branches 311 de manière à former un réseau 31 de collimateurs 310. De tels collimateurs 310 en réseau sont simples à installer. Le réseau 31 de collimateurs 310 est de préférence réalisé dans un matériau plastique. Le réseau 31 de collimateurs 310 peut être équipé d'une optique adaptée pour autoriser des jeux de lumière tels que le mélange des couleurs. Le réseau 31 de collimateurs 310 occupe une zone de la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1.The device comprises
Le capot de protection 4 est une demi-coque en forme de demi-sphère pouvant être réalisée dans une matière plastique. D'autres formes pour le capot de protection 4 sont bien entendu possibles. Le capot de protection 4 délimite une enceinte à l'intérieur de laquelle est disposée la carte électronique 1.
Les moyens de transfert thermique comportent une couche de résine 3 thermiquement conductrice présentant une surface d'échange thermique 30 à contact direct avec le milieu aquatique. La couche de résine 3 est agencée relativement à la carte électronique 1 pour transférer la chaleur produite par les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière vers la surface d'échange thermique 30. Plus précisément, la couche de résine 3 s'étend sur la zone complémentaire de la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1 en contact direct. Par « complémentaire », on entend la signification mathématique du terme ; la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique est un ensemble, la zone occupée par le réseau 31 de collimateurs 310 est une partie de cet ensemble et le complémentaire de ladite zone occupée (dite zone complémentaire) est l'ensemble des éléments de la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1 n'appartenant pas à ladite zone occupée. La couche de résine 3 est conformée relativement au capot de protection 4 pour assurer l'étanchéité du capot de protection 4 avec la surface d'échange thermique 30. La couche de résine 3 peut comporter une charge métallique. La couche de résine 3 présente avantageusement un coefficient de dilatation adapté relativement au coefficient de dilatation de la carte électronique 1 et à la température du milieu aquatique de manière à éviter notamment l'arrachement des moyens d'émission 2 de lumière lorsque le dispositif est immergé dans le milieu aquatique. La couche de résine 3 peut être transparente, translucide ou opaque dans le domaine visible. La couche de résine 3 est réalisée préférentiellement à base d'une résine de coulée sélectionnée dans le groupe comportant les polyépoxydes, les polyuréthanes, les polyesters, les polysiloxanes, les acryliques et les méthacrylates de méthyle. La couche de résine 3 présente avantageusement une épaisseur inférieure à la hauteur des collimateurs 310.The

Une expérience a été menée lorsque la couche de résine 3 est à base de polyuréthane, et dont les résultats sont rassemblés dans le tableau ci-après. Le tableau montre l'intensité consommée (u.a.) par les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière en fonction de la température du milieu aquatique et de l'épaisseur de la couche de résine.An experiment was conducted when the
Les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière sont équipés d'une sonde de température qui permet d'informer une unité de commande de diminuer l'intensité consommée dès qu'il existe un échauffement important de la carte électronique 1.The light emission means 2 are equipped with a temperature sensor which makes it possible to inform a control unit to reduce the intensity consumed as soon as there is a significant heating of the
Les moyens d'émission 2 de lumière doivent fonctionner classiquement jusqu'à une température de 40°C.
Il résulte du tableau que l'épaisseur de la couche de résine 3 en polyuréthane doit être inférieure à 5 mm. Au-dessus de cette valeur, la conduction thermique de la couche de résine 3 n'est pas suffisante pour assurer un transfert thermique efficace vers le milieu aquatique. A titre d'exemple, l'épaisseur de la couche de résine 3 peut être de l'ordre de 4,5 mm et la hauteur des collimateurs 310 peut être de l'ordre de 5 mm avec un ratio de l'ordre de 0,9.It follows from the table that the thickness of the

La couche de résine 3 s'étend sur la zone complémentaire de la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1 en contact direct. Par « complémentaire », on entend la signification mathématique du terme ; la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique est un ensemble, la zone occupée par les optiques 40 du capot de protection 4 est une partie de cet ensemble et le complémentaire de ladite zone occupée (dite zone complémentaire) est l'ensemble des éléments de la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1 n'appartenant pas à ladite zone occupée. La zone complémentaire forme une zone centrale entre les optiques 40 et une zone périphérique entre le capot de protection 4 et les optiques 40.The

Un procédé de fabrication du premier dispositif comporte une étape de surmoulage à base de la résine thermiquement conductrice sur la zone complémentaire de la surface avant 11 de la carte électronique 1. Les collimateurs 310 peuvent comporter des moyens de blocage en translation de la résine suivant la direction perpendiculaire à ladite surface avant 11 en cas de surmoulage au-dessus des collimateurs 310. Il est peut être avantageux de former une épaisseur de résine inférieure à la hauteur des collimateurs 310.A manufacturing method of the first device comprises a molding step based on the thermally conductive resin on the complementary area of the
