Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine du chauffage, de la ventilation et de la climatisation, et porte en particulier sur un boîtier pour système de commande de chauffage ou ventilation ou climatisation.The present invention relates to the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and relates in particular to a housing for heating or ventilation control system or air conditioning.

Le document FR 2 721 680 A1 montre un boîtier de régulation selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The document FR 2 721 680 A1 shows a control box according to the preamble of claim 1.

Le plus souvent, la pose d'un appareil de chauffage, ventilation et/ou climatisation, nécessite de faire appel à plusieurs corps de métier, notamment une personne responsable de la pose de la panoplie hydraulique, généralement directement fixée au mur, au plafond ou au sol, et de son raccordement, une autre personne responsable de la pose de la régulation électronique, qui est généralement fixée à l'émetteur de chauffage, ventilation et/ou climatisation, et de sa connexion à la panoplie hydraulique pour le pilotage des différentes vannes, et encore une autre personne responsable du réglage ou équilibrage hydraulique des vannes.Most often, the installation of a heater, ventilation and / or air conditioning, requires the use of several trades, including a person responsible for the installation of the hydraulic set, usually directly attached to the wall, ceiling or on the ground, and its connection, another person responsible for the installation of the electronic regulation, which is generally attached to the transmitter of heating, ventilation and / or air conditioning, and its connection to the hydraulic panoply for the piloting of different valves, and yet another person responsible for the adjustment or hydraulic balancing of the valves.

La panoplie hydraulique, en particulier le type d'éléments de tuyauterie utilisés et leur nombre, le nombre et le positionnement des vannes, est définie, entre autres, en fonction du nombre d'émetteurs à alimenter, de la manière dont le chaud et le froid pour le ou chaque émetteur sont obtenus, par exemple directement en production ou par commande des vannes de la panoplie hydraulique, etc.The hydraulic range, in particular the type of piping elements used and their number, the number and the positioning of the valves, is defined, among other things, according to the number of transmitters to be fed, the way in which the hot and the cold for the or each transmitter are obtained, for example directly in production or by controlling the valves of the hydraulic array, etc.

Par conséquent, l'agencement de la panoplie hydraulique est déterminé pour satisfaire les exigences d'utilisation finale.Therefore, the arrangement of the hydraulic kit is determined to meet the end use requirements.

Faire intervenir sur site plusieurs corps de métier présente comme inconvénients d'augmenter les coûts et délais d'installation du système de chauffage, ventilation et/ou climatisation.Several on-site trades have the disadvantage of increasing the cost and time to install the heating, ventilation and / or air conditioning system.

Il existe donc un besoin pour une solution qui réduit les coûts et les délais d'installation d'un système de commande de chauffage, de ventilation ou de climatisation, tout en conservant, pour les raisons indiquées ci-dessus, la nécessaire liberté dans l'agencement de la panoplie.There is therefore a need for a solution that reduces the costs and time of installation of a heating, ventilation or air conditioning control system, while maintaining, for the reasons indicated above, the necessary freedom in arrangement of the set.

La présente invention vise à satisfaire ce besoin, en proposant un boîtier de régulation dans lequel on peut aisément fixer, avant pose du boîtier sur site, un large choix d'éléments de tuyauterie, notamment des raccords ou coudes de tuyauterie en L, en T ou linéaires, munis de leur vanne et autres accessoires, choisis en fonction des exigences d'utilisation finale et réglés en conséquence, boîtier qui pourra être posé sur site par une seule personne qui se chargera de son raccordement hydraulique.The present invention aims to meet this need, by providing a control box in which it is easy to fix, before installation of the housing on site, a wide choice of pipe elements, including pipe fittings or elbows in L, T or linear, equipped with their valve and other accessories, selected according to end use requirements and adjusted accordingly, housing that can be installed on site by one person who will take care of its hydraulic connection.

La présente invention a donc pour objet un boîtier de régulation pour système de commande de chauffage ou ventilation ou climatisation, se composant d'un corps de boîtier fermé par un ensemble couvercle et étant caractérisé par le fait que le corps de boîtier comprend au moins un compartiment de régulation hydraulique dans lequel est formé un espace de réception de panoplie hydraulique, ledit compartiment de régulation hydraulique comprenant au moins une ouverture de passage d'élément(s) de tuyauterie, pour l'entrée et la sortie d'un ou plusieurs éléments de tuyauterie dans et hors du boîtier de régulation, ledit espace de réception comprenant en outre des moyens de maintien en position d'au moins un élément de tuyauterie.The subject of the present invention is therefore a control unit for a heating or ventilation or air conditioning control system, consisting of a housing body closed by a cover assembly and characterized in that the housing body comprises at least one hydraulic control compartment in which a hydraulic equipment receiving space is formed, said hydraulic control compartment comprising at least one pipe element passage opening (s), for the entry and exit of one or more elements piping in and out of the control box, said receiving space further comprising means for holding in position at least one pipe element.

L'espace de réception de panoplie hydraulique peut être défini par une paroi de fond et des parois latérales et lesdits moyens de maintien en position peuvent comprendre, d'une part, des moyens de support d'élément(s) de tuyauterie qui sont formés par au moins une paire de surfaces d'appui solidaires du corps de boîtier, les deux surfaces d'appui d'une même paire étant orthogonalement symétriques par rapport à un plan orthogonal à une droite appartenant auxdites deux surfaces d'appui, et d'autre part des moyens de blocage en position d'au moins un élément de tuyauterie contre au moins une surface d'appui.The hydraulic equipment receiving space may be defined by a bottom wall and side walls and said holding means in position may comprise, on the one hand, pipe element support means (s) which are formed by at least one pair of integral bearing surfaces of the case body, the two bearing surfaces of the same pair being orthogonally symmetrical with respect to a plane orthogonal to a line belonging to said two bearing surfaces, and secondly means for locking in position of at least one pipe element against at least one bearing surface.

Les deux surfaces d'appui d'une même paire étant à symétrie orthogonale par rapport audit plan de symétrie, ce dernier est à équidistance des deux surfaces d'appui.The two bearing surfaces of the same pair being orthogonal to said symmetry plane, the latter is equidistant from the two bearing surfaces.

Les surfaces d'appui et les moyens de blocage peuvent être aptes à permettre un blocage par serrage, notamment de type à trois points, contre au moins une surface d'appui.The bearing surfaces and the locking means may be able to allow clamping clamping, in particular of the three-point type, against at least one bearing surface.

Les surfaces d'appui peuvent suivre chacune un arc de cylindre, et sont notamment semi-cylindriques, et les cylindres dont un arc est suivi par les deux surfaces d'appui d'une même paire sont de même rayon et coaxiaux, et notamment d'axe parallèle à la paroi de fond.The bearing surfaces may each follow a cylinder arc, and are in particular semi-cylindrical, and the cylinders whose arc is followed by the two bearing surfaces of the same pair are of the same radius and coaxial, and particularly of axis parallel to the bottom wall.

Chaque surface d'appui peut être formée sur la face d'extrémité libre d'un plot qui, à son autre extrémité, est solidaire du corps de boîtier, notamment de la paroi de fond du compartiment de régulation hydraulique.Each bearing surface may be formed on the free end face of a stud which, at its other end, is integral with the housing body, in particular the bottom wall of the hydraulic control compartment.

Le boîtier selon la présente invention peut comprendre au moins deux paires de surface d'appui solidaires d'une même paroi du compartiment de régulation hydraulique.The housing according to the present invention may comprise at least two pairs of support surface integral with the same wall of the hydraulic control compartment.

La distance entre deux surfaces d'appui d'une même paire peut être égale à la distance entre les deux surfaces d'appui de l'autre paire, les distances étant considérées dans une direction parallèle à la paroi du compartiment de régulation hydraulique dont elles sont solidaires, les surfaces d'appui étant, de préférence, disposées aux quatre coins d'un rectangle, et notamment d'un carré.The distance between two bearing surfaces of the same pair may be equal to the distance between the two bearing surfaces of the other pair, the distances being considered in a direction parallel to the wall of the hydraulic regulating compartment of which they are integral, the bearing surfaces being preferably arranged at the four corners of a rectangle, and in particular a square.

Chaque paire de surfaces d'appui peut être décalée de l'autre paire ou des autres paires dans la direction orthogonale à la paroi du compartiment de régulation hydraulique dont sont solidaires les plots.Each pair of bearing surfaces may be shifted from the other pair or from the other pairs in the direction orthogonal to the wall of the hydraulic control compartment which are integral with the pads.

Les moyens de blocage en position d'élément(s) de tuyauterie peuvent être formés par un élément rigide présentant, pour la ou chaque paire de surfaces d'appui, une paire de surfaces de serrage symétriques par rapport à un plan orthogonal à une droite appartenant auxdites deux surfaces de serrage, la distance séparant les surfaces de serrage d'une même paire étant égale à la distance séparant les surfaces d'appui de la paire correspondante, de telle sorte que, lorsqu'au moins un élément de tuyauterie est bloqué en position par l'élément rigide, chaque surface de serrage d'une même paire est en regard d'une surface d'appui respective de la paire correspondante, l'élément rigide comportant des moyens permettant le serrage de l'élément rigide contre la surface d'appui respective.The blocking means in the position of the pipe element (s) may be formed by a rigid element having, for the or each pair of bearing surfaces, a pair of symmetrical clamping surfaces with respect to a plane orthogonal to a straight line. belonging to said two clamping surfaces, the distance separating the clamping surfaces of a same pair being equal to the distance separating the bearing surfaces from the corresponding pair, so that when at least one pipe element is blocked in position by the rigid element, each clamping surface of the same pair faces a respective bearing surface of the corresponding pair, the rigid element comprising means for clamping the rigid element against the respective bearing surface.

Un tel élément rigide permet de bloquer en position un ou plusieurs éléments de tuyauterie en un nombre réduit d'opérations, ce qui simplifie encore davantage la préparation du boîtier de régulation avant sa pose.Such a rigid element makes it possible to block one or more pipe elements in position in a small number of operations, which further simplifies the preparation of the regulation box before it is laid.

Les moyens de serrage sont, par exemple, formés par des vis, des trous traversants s'étendant à travers l'élément rigide et des trous taraudés situés de part et d'autre de chaque surface d'appui, les vis passant à travers lesdits trous qui sont alignés entre eux dans la position de blocage.The clamping means are, for example, formed by screws, through holes extending through the rigid element and tapped holes located on either side of each support surface, the screws passing through through said holes which are aligned with each other in the locking position.

Les surfaces de serrage peuvent suivre chacune un arc de cylindre, et sont notamment semi-cylindriques, et les cylindres dont un arc est suivi par les deux surfaces de serrage d'une même paire sont coaxiaux et de même rayon.The clamping surfaces may each follow a cylinder arc, and are in particular semi-cylindrical, and the cylinders whose arc is followed by the two clamping surfaces of the same pair are coaxial and of the same radius.

L'élément rigide peut avoir la forme générale d'un X, les régions d'extrémité libre de chaque branche du X présentant une surface de serrage.The rigid member may have the general shape of an X, the free end regions of each leg of the X having a clamping surface.

En variante, les moyens de blocage en position pourraient être solidaires d'un ou plusieurs parmi la paroi de fond, les parois latérales et le couvercle.Alternatively, the locking means in position could be integral with one or more of the bottom wall, the side walls and the cover.

Deux échancrures, constituant chacune une ouverture de passage d'éléments de tuyauterie, peuvent être pratiquées à partir des bords libres de deux parois latérales en regard l'une de l'autre, lesquelles échancrures sont pratiquées, de préférence, jusqu'au voisinage de la paroi de fond afin de faciliter l'accès à l'intérieur du compartiment de régulation hydraulique.Two indentations, each constituting an opening for the passage of piping elements, can be made from the free edges of two side walls facing each other, which indentations are practiced, preferably, to the vicinity of the bottom wall to facilitate access to the interior of the hydraulic control compartment.

Au moins une ouverture de passage d'éléments de tuyauterie peut être pratiquée dans la paroi latérale attenante aux deux parois latérales dans lesquelles sont pratiquées les échancrures.At least one passage opening of piping elements may be made in the side wall adjacent to the two side walls in which are made the notches.

Les plots peuvent être solidaires de la paroi de fond du compartiment de régulation hydraulique, et peut être prévue, pour chaque paire de surfaces d'appui, une ouverture de passage d'éléments de tuyauterie dans la paroi latérale attenante aux deux parois latérales dans lesquelles sont pratiquées les échancrures, chaque ouverture s'étendant selon un axe dont la distance à la paroi de fond est égale à celle entre les surfaces d'appui de la paire respective et ladite paroi de fond, les distances étant considérées dans la direction orthogonale à ladite paroi de fond.The studs may be integral with the bottom wall of the hydraulic regulating compartment, and may be provided, for each pair of bearing surfaces, a passage opening of pipe elements in the side wall adjacent to the two side walls in which the recesses are made, each opening extending along an axis whose distance to the bottom wall is equal to that between the bearing surfaces of the respective pair and said bottom wall, the distances being considered in the direction orthogonal to said bottom wall.

Le corps de boîtier peut comprendre également, séparé du compartiment de régulation hydraulique d'une manière étanche aux fluides, un compartiment de régulation électronique pour système de commande de chauffage ou ventilation ou climatisation et/ou de courant fort/faible, défini par une paroi de fond et des parois latérales et dans lequel sont prévus des moyens de fixation d'au moins un automate de pilotage de vannes de panoplie hydraulique, au moins une ouverture pour fils d'alimentation et connecteurs étant pratiquée dans au moins une paroi latérale précitée, et des moyens permettant le passage de fils entre les compartiments de régulation électronique et hydraulique étant prévus. Le passage des fils peut se faire directement du compartiment de régulation électronique au compartiment de régulation hydraulique, ou se faire indirectement, auquel cas lesdits moyens permettent le passage de fils entre chaque compartiment de régulation et l'extérieur du corps du boîtier.The housing body may also comprise, separate from the hydraulic control compartment in a fluid-tight manner, an electronic control compartment for heating or ventilation control system or air conditioning and / or strong / weak current, defined by a wall base and side walls and in which are provided means for attaching at least one control automaton valves hydraulic outfit, at least one opening for supply son and connectors being formed in at least one side wall, and means for the passage of son between the electronic and hydraulic control compartments being provided. The passage of the son can be done directly from the electronic control compartment to the hydraulic control compartment, or be done indirectly, in which case said means allow the passage of son between each control compartment and the outside of the body of the housing.

Avec un tel compartiment de régulation électronique, on peut placer, avant pose sur site, l'électronique du système de commande de chauffage, de ventilation, de climatisation ou de courant fort/faible, ainsi que ses différents fils d'alimentation et connecteurs, de telle sorte que la personne qui pose le boîtier et procède à son raccordement hydraulique peut également, par simple raccordement électrique à l'émetteur ou aux émetteurs, ou à un ordinateur de gestion du bâtiment, généralement en utilisant des connecteurs embrochables. Ainsi, il n'est plus nécessaire de faire intervenir plusieurs corps de métier sur site, ce qui réduit encore davantage les coûts et délais d'installation du système de commande.With such an electronic control compartment, it is possible to place, before installation on site, the electronics of the heating, ventilation, air conditioning or high / low current control system, as well as its various supply wires and connectors, so that the person who installs the housing and makes its hydraulic connection can also, by simple electrical connection to the transmitter or transmitters, or a building management computer, usually using plug-in connectors. Thus, it is no longer necessary to involve several trades on site, which further reduces the cost and time of installation of the control system.

Les parois de fond des compartiments de régulation électronique et hydraulique peuvent être formées par une unique plaque plate dont au moins deux régions de bordure opposées constituent des brides de fixation dont les surfaces côté fond du boîtier sont décalées, dans la direction perpendiculaire à ladite plaque, de la surface extérieure de la partie centrale de la plaque qui forme les parois de fond, lesdits moyens permettant le passage de fils entre les compartiments de régulation électronique et hydraulique étant constitués par une série d'encoches de passage de fils étant pratiquée dans ladite plaque, des premières encoches débouchant dans le compartiment de régulation électronique et des deuxièmes encoches débouchant dans le compartiment de régulation hydraulique.The bottom walls of the electronic and hydraulic control compartments may be formed by a single flat plate of which at least two opposite edge regions constitute fixing flanges whose bottom surfaces of the housing are offset, in the direction perpendicular to said plate, the outer surface of the central portion of the plate which forms the bottom walls, said means allowing the passage of son between the electronic and hydraulic control compartments being constituted by a series of son passage notches being formed in said plate , first notches opening into the electronic control compartment and second notches opening into the hydraulic control compartment.

La présente invention a également pour objet un système de commande de chauffage ou ventilation ou climatisation, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend un boîtier de régulation tel que défini ci-dessus, une panoplie hydraulique maintenue en position par les moyens de maintien en position et, le cas échéant, au moins un automate de régulation électronique fixé dans le compartiment de régulation électronique.The present invention also relates to a heating or ventilation control system or air conditioning, characterized in that it comprises a control box as defined above, a hydraulic panoplie held in position by the holding means in position and, where appropriate, at least one electronic control unit fixed in the electronic control compartment.

Si l'on se réfère aux Figures 1, 2, 12 et 13, on peut voir qu'un boîtier 1 selon la présente invention comprend un corps de boîtier 2 et un ensemble couvercle 3.If we refer to Figures 1, 2 , 12 and 13 it can be seen that a housing 1 according to the present invention comprises a housing body 2 and a cover assembly 3.

Le corps de boîtier 2 est de forme globalement parallélépipédique et est divisé en un compartiment de régulation hydraulique 4 et un compartiment de régulation électronique 5.The housing body 2 is of generally parallelepipedal shape and is divided into a hydraulic control compartment 4 and an electronic control compartment 5.

Le compartiment de régulation hydraulique 4, de forme parallélépipédique, est délimité par une paroi de fond 6 et quatre parois latérales 7, 8, 9, 10, formant un espace de réception pour la panoplie hydraulique.The hydraulic control compartment 4, of parallelepiped shape, is delimited by a bottom wall 6 and four side walls 7, 8, 9, 10, forming a reception space for the hydraulic equipment.

Le compartiment de régulation électronique 5, de forme parallélépipédique, est délimité par une paroi de fond 11 et quatre parois latérales 12, 13, 14, 15, formant un espace de réception pour l'électronique.The electronic regulation compartment 5, of parallelepipedal shape, is delimited by a bottom wall 11 and four side walls 12, 13, 14, 15, forming a reception space for the electronics.

Les compartiments de régulation hydraulique 4 et électronique 5 sont séparés l'un de l'autre de manière étanche par une cloison formée par la paroi latérale 7, 12 commune à ces deux compartiments 4, 5.The hydraulic and electronic control compartments 4 and 5 are separated from each other in a sealed manner by a partition formed by the side wall 7, 12 common to these two compartments 4, 5.

Le compartiment de régulation hydraulique 4 présente, dans chacune de ses parois latérales 8, 10 reliées par la paroi latérale 7 formant cloison, une échancrure 16, 17 sensiblement en forme de U. Les échancrures 16, 17 sont de mêmes formes et dimensions et forment un passage à travers la majeure partie desdites parois latérales 8, 10.The hydraulic control compartment 4 has, in each of its side walls 8, 10 connected by the side wall 7 forming a partition, a notch 16, 17 substantially U-shaped. The notches 16, 17 are of the same shape and dimensions and form a passage through most of said side walls 8, 10.

Le compartiment de régulation hydraulique 4 présente également, dans sa paroi latérale 9 opposée à la paroi latérale 7 formant cloison, deux échancrures 18, 19 séparées l'une de l'autre par une partie de paroi latérale présentant deux ouvertures circulaires 20, 21 disposées l'une au-dessous de l'autre.The hydraulic control compartment 4 also has, in its side wall 9 opposite to the side wall 7 forming a partition, two notches 18, 19 separated from each other by a side wall portion having two circular openings 20, 21 arranged one below the other.

Le compartiment de régulation hydraulique 4 présente également, dans sa paroi de fond 6, au voisinage de la paroi latérale 7 formant cloison, six encoches circulaires 22, mutuellement espacées à un intervalle régulier, alignées le long de la paroi latérale 7 formant cloison.The hydraulic control compartment 4 also has, in its bottom wall 6, in the vicinity of the partition wall 7, six circular notches 22, spaced apart at a regular interval, aligned along the side wall 7 forming a partition.

Le compartiment de régulation électronique 5 présente, dans chacune de ses parois latérales 13, 15 attenantes à la paroi latérale 12 formant cloison, des découpes 23, 24 de formes rectangulaire et carrée, ainsi que des prédécoupes 57 sur la surface extérieure de la paroi latérale 14, dont la fonction sera explicitée ci-après.The electronic control compartment 5 has, in each of its side walls 13, 15 adjacent to the side wall 12 forming partition, cutouts 23, 24 of rectangular and square shapes, and pre-cuts 57 on the outer surface of the side wall. 14, the function of which will be explained below.

De plus, si l'on se réfère à la Figure 3, on peut voir que le compartiment de régulation électronique 5 présente également, dans sa paroi de fond 11, six encoches circulaires 25, mutuellement espacées à un intervalle régulier, alignées le long de la paroi latérale 12 formant cloison. Les six encoches circulaires 22 et les six encoches circulaires 25 sont alignées deux à deux.Moreover, if we refer to the Figure 3 it can be seen that the electronic control compartment 5 also has, in its bottom wall 11, six circular notches 25, spaced apart at a regular interval, aligned along the partition wall 12. The six circular notches 22 and the six circular notches 25 are aligned in pairs.

Le compartiment de régulation électronique 5 comporte également un rail de fixation 26 s'étendant sensiblement au centre de la paroi de fond 11 parallèlement à la paroi latérale 12 formant cloison, et fixé à plat sur la paroi de fond 11.The electronic control compartment 5 also comprises a fixing rail 26 extending substantially in the center of the bottom wall 11 parallel to the side wall 12 forming a partition, and fixed flat on the bottom wall 11.

En outre, deux ouvertures circulaires 58 de dimensions supérieures à celles des ouvertures circulaires 25 sont prévues dans la paroi de fond 11, de part et d'autre du rail de fixation 26, de façon à permettre un passage naturel d'air pour le refroidissement du compartiment de régulation électronique 5.In addition, two circular openings 58 of greater dimensions than those of the circular openings 25 are provided in the bottom wall 11, on either side of the fixing rail 26, so as to allow a natural passage of air for cooling the electronic control compartment 5.

Si l'on se réfère aux Figures 1 à 4, on peut voir que le compartiment de régulation hydraulique 4 comprend des moyens de support d'éléments de tuyauterie qui sont formés par quatre plots 27, 28.If we refer to Figures 1 to 4 it can be seen that the hydraulic control compartment 4 comprises means for supporting piping elements which are formed by four studs 27, 28.

Chaque plot 27, 28 se présente sous la forme d'un bloc parallélépipédique s'étendant à partir de la paroi de fond 6 et perpendiculairement à celle-ci, ayant une face inférieure solidaire de la paroi de fond 6 et une face supérieure opposée et libre. La face supérieure de chaque plot 27, 28 présente une surface d'appui 29 de forme semi-cylindrique et, de part et d'autre de celle-ci, deux surfaces plates ayant un trou taraudé 30 pour le passage de vis de fixation.Each pad 27, 28 is in the form of a parallelepipedal block extending from the bottom wall 6 and perpendicular thereto, having a lower face integral with the bottom wall 6 and an opposite upper face and free. The upper face of each stud 27, 28 has a bearing surface 29 of semi-cylindrical shape and, on either side thereof, two flat surfaces having a threaded hole 30 for the passage of fixing screws.

Les quatre plots 27, 28 sont disposés sur la paroi de fond 6 de façon à constituer les quatre coins d'un carré ou d'un rectangle au centre de la paroi de fond 6, en vue de dessus. Une paire est formée soit par deux plots 27, soit par deux plots 28, disposés en regard l'un de l'autre dans une direction parallèle à la cloison. Deux plots 27, 28 d'une même paire sont disposés de telle sorte que les axes des demi-cylindres de chaque surface d'appui 29 sont coaxiaux. Les deux plots 28, côté paroi latérale formant cloison 7, 12, ont une même première hauteur définie entre la paroi de fond 6 et l'axe du cylindre suivi par les surfaces d'appui 29, dans la direction orthogonale à la paroi de fond 6. Les deux plots 27, côté paroi latérale 9, opposée à la paroi formant cloison 7, 12, ont également une même seconde hauteur, définie de manière analogue à la première hauteur et supérieure à cette dernière.The four pads 27, 28 are arranged on the bottom wall 6 so as to form the four corners of a square or a rectangle in the center of the bottom wall 6, in plan view. A pair is formed either by two studs 27 or by two studs 28 arranged facing one another in a direction parallel to the partition. Two pads 27, 28 of the same pair are arranged such that the axes of the half-cylinders of each bearing surface 29 are coaxial. The two studs 28, partition wall side side 7, 12, have the same first height defined between the bottom wall 6 and the axis of the cylinder followed by the bearing surfaces 29, in the direction orthogonal to the bottom wall 6. The two studs 27, side wall side 9, opposite to the partition wall 7, 12, also have a same second height, defined in a similar manner to the first height and greater than the latter.

Les plots 27, 28 d'une même paire pourraient être décalés des plots 28, 27 d'une autre paire par rapport à la direction orthogonale au plan de la paroi latérale formant cloison 7, 12.The studs 27, 28 of the same pair could be offset from the studs 28, 27 of another pair with respect to the direction orthogonal to the plane of the partition wall 7, 12.

Si l'on se réfère aux Figures 4 à 6, on peut voir que les parois de fond 6, 11 des compartiments de régulation électronique 5 et hydraulique 4 sont formées par une unique plaque plate. Deux brides de fixation 31 s'étendant à partir de ladite plaque plate, sur l'extérieur des parois latérales 9, 14, opposées à la paroi formant cloison 7, 12. Ces brides de fixation 31 présentent, côté opposé aux espaces de réception, une surface inférieure plate 32 reliée à la partie centrale 34 de la plaque plate par une surface inclinée 33, définissant ainsi un espace entre la surface inférieure plate 32 de chaque bride de fixation 31 et la surface extérieure de la partie centrale 34 de la plaque plate. Les brides de fixation 31 comprennent des ouvertures 35 le long de celles-ci pour le passage d'éléments de fixation, tels que des vis, tiges filetées, etc., pour fixer le boîtier 1 à un mur, un plafond ou un sol.If we refer to Figures 4 to 6 it can be seen that the bottom walls 6, 11 of the compartments of electronic control 5 and hydraulic 4 are formed by a single flat plate. Two fixing flanges 31 extending from said flat plate, on the outside of the side walls 9, 14, opposite to the partition wall 7, 12. These fastening flanges 31 have, opposite to the receiving spaces, a flat lower surface 32 connected to the central portion 34 of the flat plate by an inclined surface 33, thereby defining a gap between the flat lower surface 32 of each fastening flange 31 and the outer surface of the central portion 34 of the flat plate . The fastening flanges 31 include openings 35 therealong for the passage of fasteners, such as screws, threaded rods, etc., for securing the housing 1 to a wall, ceiling, or floor.

Si l'on se réfère maintenant aux Figures 7 à 9, on peut voir que l'on y a représenté un élément de blocage 36 conformément à la présente invention, qui constitue un moyen pour bloquer en position au moins un élément de tuyauterie par serrage contre les surfaces d'appui 29 des plots 27, 28.If we now turn to Figures 7 to 9 it can be seen that there is shown a locking member 36 according to the present invention, which constitutes a means for locking in position at least one pipe element by clamping against the bearing surfaces 29 of the pads 27, 28 .

L'élément de blocage 36, rigide, est sensiblement en forme de croix, dans une vue en plan de dessus ou de dessous, comprenant quatre branches 37, 38 formant deux à deux une paire, les deux branches 37, 38 d'une même paire étant parallèles entre elles et en regard l'une de l'autre.The rigid blocking element 36 is substantially cross-shaped, in a plan view from above or below, comprising four branches 37, 38 forming two by two a pair, the two branches 37, 38 of the same pair being parallel to each other and facing each other.

Chaque branche 37, 38 se compose d'une première partie parallélépipédique et d'une seconde partie de liaison.Each branch 37, 38 consists of a first parallelepipedal portion and a second connecting portion.

La première partie parallélépipédique a une surface supérieure et une surface inférieure dans laquelle est prévue une surface de serrage semi-cylindrique 39 entre deux surfaces plates dans chacune desquelles débouche un trou traversant 40 pour le passage d'une vis de fixation.The first parallelepipedal portion has an upper surface and a lower surface in which a semi-cylindrical clamping surface 39 is provided between two flat surfaces in each of which opens a through hole 40 for the passage of a fixing screw.

Les surfaces de serrage 39 des deux branches 37, qui appartiennent à une même paire, suivent des cylindres de même rayon et coaxiaux, et de même pour les surfaces de serrage 39 des deux branches 38.The clamping surfaces 39 of the two branches 37, which belong to the same pair, follow cylinders of the same radius and coaxial, and likewise for the clamping surfaces 39 of the two branches 38.

Comme on peut mieux le voir sur la Figure 9, les secondes parties de liaison se présentent sous la forme de bras inclinés 41 qui se rejoignent au centre de l'élément rigide, en 42, les bras 41 étant inclinés de telle sorte que les branches 37, 38 d'une même paire sont décalées en hauteur vis-à-vis des branches 38, 37 de l'autre paire.As can be seen better on the Figure 9 , the second connecting portions are in the form of inclined arms 41 which meet at the center of the rigid element, at 42, the arms 41 being inclined so that the branches 37, 38 of the same pair are offset in height vis-à-vis the branches 38, 37 of the other pair.

On va maintenant décrire la manière dont l'élément de blocage 36 permet de maintenir en position un ou plusieurs éléments de tuyauterie, avec référence aux Figures 10 et 11.We will now describe how the locking element 36 keeps in position one or more pipe elements, with reference to Figures 10 and 11 .

Si l'on se réfère tout d'abord à la Figure 10, on peut voir que deux éléments de tuyauterie en T 43, 44 peuvent être maintenus en position simultanément dans le compartiment de régulation hydraulique 4 en étant serré entre les surfaces d'appui 29 et les surfaces de serrage 39, l'élément de tuyauterie 43 étant au-dessus de l'élément de tuyauterie 44.If we first refer to the Figure 10 it can be seen that two T-pipe elements 43, 44 can be held in position simultaneously in the hydraulic control compartment 4 while being clamped between the bearing surfaces 29 and the clamping surfaces 39, the pipe element 43 being above the piping element 44.

Chacun des éléments de tuyauterie 43 et 44 se compose d'une première branche respectivement 45, 46, qui forme la barre horizontale du T, et d'une seconde branche respectivement 47, 48, qui forme la barre verticale du T, les différentes branches étant cylindriques, d'un rayon légèrement inférieure à celui des cylindres suivis par les surfaces d'appui 29 et les surfaces de serrage 39.Each of the pipe elements 43 and 44 is composed of a first branch respectively 45, 46, which forms the horizontal bar of the T, and a second branch respectively 47, 48, which forms the vertical bar of the T, the different branches being cylindrical, with a radius slightly smaller than that of the rollers followed by the bearing surfaces 29 and the clamping surfaces 39.

Les éléments de tuyauterie 43, 44 sont supportés par la paire de plots respectivement 27 et 28, la première branche respectivement 45, 46 étant reçue par les deux surfaces d'appui 29 des plots respectivement 27, 28, et la seconde branche respectivement 47, 48 étant amenée à passer à travers l'ouverture respectivement 21, 20, qui est disposée pour que son axe se situe à une même hauteur de l'axe du cylindre suivi par les surfaces d'appui 29 des plots respectivement 27, 28, et qui correspond à l'axe de la première branche respectivement 45, 46 une fois l'élément de tuyauterie respectivement 43, 44 mis en position.The pipe elements 43, 44 are supported by the pair of pads respectively 27 and 28, the first leg respectively 45, 46 being received by the two bearing surfaces 29 of the pads respectively 27, 28, and the second leg 47, 48 respectively being passed through the opening 21, 20, which is arranged so that its axis is at the same height of the axis of the cylinder followed by the bearing surfaces 29 of the pads respectively 27, 28, and which corresponds to the axis of the first leg respectively 45, 46 once the pipe element respectively 43, 44 placed in position.

Une fois dans cette position, on vient placer l'élément de blocage 36 sur les éléments de tuyauterie 43, 44, de telle sorte que chaque surface de serrage 39 vient en regard d'une surface d'appui 29 respective. A cet effet, on souligne que le rayon du cylindre suivi par les surfaces de serrage 39 d'une même paire de branches 37, 38 est égale à celui du cylindre suivi par les surfaces d'appui 29 de la paire de plots 27, 28 en regard desquels se trouvent les surfaces de serrage 39 dans la position de blocage, et que la distance séparant deux surfaces de serrage 39 appartenant à la même paire de branches 37, 38 est égale à la distance séparant les deux surfaces d'appui 29 de la paire respective de plots 27, 28.Once in this position, it comes to place the locking member 36 on the pipe members 43, 44, so that each clamping surface 39 is opposite a respective bearing surface 29. For this purpose, it is pointed out that the radius of the cylinder followed by the clamping surfaces 39 of the same pair of branches 37, 38 is equal to that of the cylinder followed by the bearing surfaces 29 of the pair of studs 27, 28 opposite which are the clamping surfaces 39 in the locking position, and that the distance between two clamping surfaces 39 belonging to the same pair of branches 37, 38 is equal to the distance between the two bearing surfaces 29 of the respective pair of pads 27, 28.

Une fois l'élément rigide 36 placé de cette manière sur les éléments de tuyauterie 43, 44, on vient serrer l'élément rigide 36 contre les plots 27, 28 par vissage de vis (non représentées) à travers les trous respectivement 30 et 40, qui sont dans cette position alignés.Once the rigid element 36 is placed in this manner on the pipe elements 43, 44, the rigid element 36 is tightened against the studs 27, 28 by screwing screws (not shown) through the holes 30 and 40 respectively. , which are in this aligned position.

On constate donc que les deux paires de plots 27, 28, qui forment deux paires de surfaces d'appui 29, permettent de supporter deux éléments de tuyauterie en T 43, 44 et leur blocage en position est obtenu à l'aide d'un seul élément de blocage 36 qui est serré contre chacune des surfaces d'appui 29.It can thus be seen that the two pairs of studs 27, 28, which form two pairs of bearing surfaces 29, make it possible to support two T-pipe elements 43, 44 and their blocking in position is obtained by means of a only locking member 36 which is clamped against each of the bearing surfaces 29.

Si l'on se réfère maintenant à la Figure 11, on peut voir que l'on peut installer un élément de tuyauterie en L 49 en utilisant le même boîtier de régulation 1. En effet, les première et seconde branches 50, 51 du L, cylindriques, sont supportées, pour la première 50, par un plot 27, et, pour la deuxième 51, par l'ouverture 21, et l'élément de tuyauterie 49 est bloqué en position par l'élément rigide 36 qui est serré sur ce dernier de la même manière que pour les éléments de tuyauterie en T 43, 44.If we now refer to the Figure 11 it can be seen that an L-pipe element 49 can be installed using the same regulating box 1. In fact, the first and second limbs 50, 51 of the L, cylindrical, are supported, for the first 50, by a stud 27, and for the second 51, through the opening 21, and the pipe element 49 is locked in position by the rigid element 36 which is clamped on the latter in the same manner as for the elements of T-pipe 43, 44.

Bien entendu, un deuxième élément de tuyauterie en L pourrait être maintenu en position de la même manière entre l'un des plots 28 et l'élément de blocage 36.Of course, a second L-shaped pipe element could be held in position in the same way between one of the pads 28 and the locking element 36.

On souligne ici que l'on pourrait tout à fait prévoir d'installer un élément de tuyauterie en T, supporté par l'une des paires de plots 27, 28, et un élément de tuyauterie en L, supporté par l'autre paire de plots 27, 28.It is emphasized here that it would be quite possible to install a T-pipe element, supported by one of the pairs of studs 27, 28, and an L-shaped pipe element, supported by the other pair of studs. pads 27, 28.

On pourrait également installer un élément de tuyauterie rectiligne, supporté par les deux plots 27 ou 28 d'une même paire.One could also install a rectilinear pipe element, supported by the two studs 27 or 28 of the same pair.

Si l'on se réfère enfin aux Figures 12 et 13, on peut voir qu'un système 52 de commande de chauffage, de ventilation ou de climatisation, selon la présente invention comprend le boîtier de régulation 1, une panoplie hydraulique installée dans le compartiment de régulation hydraulique 4, un automate de régulation électronique 53 et des connecteurs 54 placés dans le compartiment de régulation électronique 5.If we finally refer to Figures 12 and 13 it can be seen that a heating, ventilating or air-conditioning control system 52 according to the present invention comprises the control unit 1, a hydraulic set-up installed in the hydraulic control compartment 4, an electronic control unit 53 and connectors 54 placed in the electronic control compartment 5.

Chaque compartiment 4, 5 est fermé par un couvercle respectivement 55, 56, formant conjointement un ensemble couvercle 3.Each compartment 4, 5 is closed by a cover respectively 55, 56, forming together a cover assembly 3.

Dans l'exemple représenté, la panoplie hydraulique est formée de deux éléments de tuyauterie en T, bloqué en position de la manière décrite avec référence à la Figure 10, de deux vannes de régulation hydraulique réglables 58, servant à la régulation du débit d'eau maximum, montées chacune sur un côté de la première branche 45 de l'élément de tuyauterie 43 et équipées chacune de son servomoteur 60, et de deux vannes de régulation hydraulique réglables 59 montées chacune sur un côté de la première branche 46 de l'élément de tuyauterie 44 et équipées chacune de son servomoteur 60.In the example shown, the hydraulic panoply is formed of two T-pipe elements, locked in position in the manner described with reference to the Figure 10 of two adjustable hydraulic control valves 58, used for the regulation of the maximum water flow, each mounted on one side of the first branch 45 of the pipe element 43 and each equipped with its servomotor 60, and two valves adjustable hydraulic control valves 59 each mounted on one side of the first branch 46 of the pipe element 44 and each equipped with its servomotor 60.

Une telle panoplie permet une pluralité de modes de fonctionnement, bien connus dans la technique.Such an array allows a plurality of modes of operation, well known in the art.

Bien entendu, une panoplie d'un autre agencement pourrait être installée dans le boîtier de régulation 1, en fonction des exigences d'utilisation finale.Of course, a panoply of another arrangement could be installed in the control box 1, depending on the end use requirements.

L'automate de régulation électronique 53 est fixé sur le rail 26, et des différents connecteurs 54 placés dans le compartiment de régulation électronique 5, de type encastrable et embrochable, sont montés, selon les besoins des applications requises, dans les découpes 23, 24 et/ou dans les prédécoupes 57, après que ces dernières ont été percées, du compartiment de régulation électronique 5, et reliés à l'automate 53. Par ailleurs, l'automate 53 est relié aux différentes vannes et servomoteurs placés dans le compartiment de régulation hydraulique 4 par des fils passant dans les encoches 22 et 25, de telle sorte que l'automate 53 peut piloter les vannes et servomoteurs pour obtenir le fonctionnement souhaité du ou des émetteurs auxquels sera raccordé le boîtier 1. Les encoches non utilisées pourront être obturées par des bouchons (comme représenté sur les Figures 5 et 6) ou ne seront pas percées au moment de la fabrication, et les fils passant entre les deux compartiments ne seront pas abîmés après que le boîtier 1 a été fixé à un mur, du fait de l'espacement entre ledit mur et la partie centrale de la plaque plate constituant le fond du boîtier 1, obtenu par l'utilisation des brides 31.The electronic control unit 53 is fixed on the rail 26, and the various connectors 54 placed in the electronic control compartment 5, of the insertable and plug-in type, are mounted, according to the needs of the required applications, in the cutouts 23, 24 and / or in pre-cuts 57, after these have been drilled, of the electronic control compartment 5, and connected to the controller 53. Moreover, the controller 53 is connected to the various valves and servomotors placed in the compartment of hydraulic control 4 by son passing through the notches 22 and 25, so that the controller 53 can drive the valves and servomotors to obtain the desired operation of the emitter or emitter to which the housing 1 will be connected. Unused notches can be blocked by plugs (as shown on Figures 5 and 6 ) or will not be pierced at the time of manufacture, and the wires passing between two compartments will not be damaged after the casing 1 has been fixed to a wall, because of the spacing between said wall and the central part of the flat plate constituting the bottom of the casing 1, obtained by the use of the flanges 31 .

Le système 52 selon la présente invention peut être livré tel quel à l'utilisateur final, avec la panoplie souhaitée déjà installée, les vannes déjà réglées et déjà connectées à l'automate 53, qui n'a alors qu'à fixer le boîtier 1 contre une paroi, raccorder la panoplie hydraulique à la tuyauterie, par exemple à l'aide de raccords rapides, et connecter l'électronique à une alimentation, un ordinateur de gestion du bâtiment, etc., à l'aide de connecteurs de type embrochables que l'on vient connecter à ceux déjà présents dans le boîtier 1.The system 52 according to the present invention can be delivered as such to the end user, with the desired panoply already installed, the valves already set and already connected to the controller 53, which then only has to fix the housing 1 against a wall, connect the hydraulic equipment to the piping, for example using quick couplers, and connect the electronics to a power supply, a building management computer, etc., using plug-in type connectors that we just connect to those already present in the case 1.

On constate donc que le système selon la présente invention permet de réduire signification les coûts et délais d'installation.It is therefore found that the system according to the present invention makes it possible to reduce the costs and installation times.

On souligne ici que l'automate 53 peut remplir d'autres fonctions non liées au chauffage, à la climatisation ou à la ventilation, et peut par exemple être utilisés pour commander des stores, l'éclairage, etc., par l'intermédiaire de connecteurs prévus à cet effet et déjà montés dans le boîtier 1.It is emphasized here that the controller 53 can perform other functions not related to heating, air conditioning or ventilation, and can for example be used to control blinds, lighting, etc., through connectors provided for this purpose and already mounted in the housing 1.

Il est bien entendu que le mode de réalisation particulier qui vient d'être décrit, ainsi que sa variante, ont été donné à titre indicatif et non limitatif et que des modifications peuvent être apportées sans que l'on s'écarte pour autant du cadre de la présente invention.It is understood that the particular embodiment which has just been described, as well as its variant, have been given for information only and not limiting and that modifications can be made without departing from the framework. of the present invention.
