Description

L'invention concerne un ensemble selon le préambule de la revendication 1 comprenant une dalle et une section de chute pour liquides avec de multiples arrivées, sensiblement dans des applications dites « bi-phasiques » et en particulier des conduites pour eaux telles les chutes sanitaires dans le bâtiment.The invention relates to an assembly according to the preamble of claim 1 comprising a slab and a chute section for liquids with multiple inlets, substantially in so-called "two-phase" applications and in particular in water pipes such as sanitary chutes in building.

Une chute est une évacuation verticale qui dessert un ou plusieurs étages de l'habitation. En partie haute, la chute débouche usuellement sur la toiture, ce qui permet de ventiler la conduite et de faciliter l'écoulement des effluents. En partie basse, elle se termine par un tronçon en pente assez marquée qui aboutit soit à un réseau d'assainissement collectif (tout à l'égout), soit à une filière d'assainissement individuel.A chute is a vertical outlet that serves one or more floors of the dwelling. In the upper part, the chute usually opens onto the roof, which allows the pipe to be ventilated and facilitates the flow of effluents. In the lower part, it ends with a fairly marked sloping section which leads either to a collective sanitation network (mains drainage) or to an individual sanitation network.

Dans les chutes dites unitaires, les différents appareils ménagers ou sanitaires viennent se brancher, et le bruit de vidange des appareils domestiques ou les eaux usées ont tendance à être répercutés par les parois de tuyaux de descente. D'autres contraintes sont liées à l'apparition de bouchons d'eau ou de surpression, qui peuvent aboutir à un désamorçage de siphon, avec les mauvaises odeurs qui en découlent, ou à des gargouillements et des bruits gênants.In so-called single falls, the various household or sanitary appliances are connected, and the noise of emptying household appliances or wastewater tends to be reflected by the walls of downspouts. Other constraints are linked to the appearance of water plugs or overpressure, which can lead to deactivation of the siphon, with the bad odors which result from it, or to annoying gurgling noises.

Dans les bâtiments de grande hauteur, ces contraintes sont encore plus importantes, la hauteur et les débits hydrauliques étant augmentés, par la multiplication du nombre d'étages résultant aussi en un nombre plus élevé d'appareils sanitaires et un écoulement plus important et fréquent, et la hauteur pouvant aboutir à des risques plus importants de dépression ou surpression.In high-rise buildings, these constraints are even more important, the height and the hydraulic flows being increased, by the multiplication of the number of floors also resulting in a higher number of sanitary appliances and a more important and frequent flow, and the height which can lead to greater risks of depression or overpressure.

Les bâtiments en hauteur présentent également des contraintes d'encombrement plus importantes pour les conduites.High-rise buildings also have greater space constraints for the pipes.

Une solution a été apportée en proposant un raccord aérateur, qui supprime le besoin d'une conduite secondaire pour l'aération. Le raccord ou culotte de dévoiement présente une partie de raccord débouchant dans la chute principale, et une chicane ou déviation de chute principale, dévoyant le flux principal de la chute, au niveau de la partie de raccord. La partie de raccord et la chicane se rejoignent dans la chute principale, en aval du raccord. La partie de chicane est en forme courbe. Un tel exemple de raccord aérateur est proposé par exemple par la société Akatherm sous la marque Akavent™.A solution was found by proposing an aerator connection, which eliminates the need for a secondary pipe for aeration. The deflection fitting or panty has a connection part opening into the main chute, and a baffle or main chute deflection, diverting the main flow of the chute, at the connection part. The connection part and the baffle meet in the main chute, downstream of the connection. The baffle part is curved in shape. Such an example of an aerator connection is offered for example by the company Akatherm under the Akavent ™ brand.

Afin d'améliorer les performances hydrauliques, le document EP 2 447 424 propose également un raccord aérateur dans lequel la géométrie de la partie de chicane est modifiée. Ainsi, le document EP 2 447 424 propose une pièce d'embranchement de conduite, comprenant une section de conduite de chute supérieure, une section de déviation se connectant à la section de conduite de chute supérieure, et une section de conduite de chute inférieure se connectant à la section de déviation ayant une ouverture de sortie, ainsi qu'au moins une section d'apport dans le domaine de la section de déviation. La section de déviation comprend un premier domaine de déviation, déviant les eaux usées par rapport à la direction de chute et un deuxième domaine de déviation disposé en aval vu en direction de chute par rapport au premier domaine de déviation. Le deuxième domaine de déviation est incliné d'un angle dans le domaine de 2 à 12°, par rapport à la direction de chute, et fait un angle dans le domaine de 30° à 50° par rapport à la direction des eaux usées déviées par le premier domaine de déviation (8). Ainsi, la section de chicane forme une partie de spirale au niveau de la déviation, la spirale démarrant en amont de la partie de raccord et débouchant en aval de la partie de raccord dans la chute principale, créant ainsi une composante de vitesse hydraulique favorisant un écoulement en vortex pour améliorer le débit au niveau aval du raccord. Une telle géométrie n'est pas facilement reproductible notamment pour l'assemblage de la chute lors du montage, et présente également un encombrement non souhaité.In order to improve hydraulic performance, the document EP 2 447 424 also proposes an aerator connection in which the geometry of the baffle part is modified. Thus, the document EP 2 447 424 provides a branch line piece, comprising an upper drop pipe section, a deflection section connecting to the upper drop pipe section, and a lower drop pipe section connecting to the diversion section having a outlet opening, as well as at least one supply section in the area of the deflection section. The deflection section includes a first deflection domain, deflecting the wastewater with respect to the falling direction and a second deflection domain disposed downstream viewed in the falling direction with respect to the first deflection domain. The second deflection domain is inclined at an angle in the range of 2 to 12 °, relative to the direction of fall, and makes an angle in the range of 30 ° to 50 ° to the direction of the diverted wastewater by the first deviation domain (8). Thus, the baffle section forms a part of a spiral at the level of the deflection, the spiral starting upstream of the connection part and emerging downstream of the connection part in the main chute, thus creating a hydraulic speed component favoring a vortex flow to improve the flow downstream of the fitting. Such a geometry is not easily reproducible, in particular for assembling the chute during assembly, and also presents an undesirable bulk.

Un objet de la présente invention est d'améliorer les caractéristiques d'écoulement de chute.It is an object of the present invention to improve the falling flow characteristics.

Un autre objectif de la présente invention est d'obtenir une chute hydraulique compacte.Another objective of the present invention is to obtain a compact hydraulic chute.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un ensemble selon la revendication 1, comprenant une dalle et une section de chute pour un écoulement de liquide ou fluides, en particulier d'eaux dans une direction d'écoulement de chute, comprenant un élément tubulaire de chute amont, un élément tubulaire de chute aval, une section de dévoiement entre l'élément tubulaire de chute amont et l'élément tubulaire de chute aval, un raccord avec un élément de raccord d'écoulement débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval, l'élément tubulaire de chute amont, l'élément tubulaire de chute aval et l'élément de raccord d'écoulement étant sensiblement alignés dans la direction d'écoulement de chute. La section de dévoiement comprend une première partie de dévoiement dans le prolongement de l'élément tubulaire de chute amont et étant inclinée par rapport à l'élément tubulaire de chute amont, une deuxième partie de dévoiement dans le prolongement de la première partie de dévoiement (et sensiblement parallèle à la direction d'écoulement de chute, et une troisième partie de dévoiement en aval de la deuxième partie de dévoiement et débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval. La section de chute est positionnée de part et d'autre de la dalle, la dalle comprenant un premier trou traversant pour le passage de la deuxième partie de dévoiement et un deuxième trou traversant pour le passage de l'élément de raccord d'écoulement débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval, le premier trou traversant et le deuxième trou traversant sont orientés dans la direction d'écoulement, qui est verticale lorsque la chute est en position fonctionnelle.To this end, the invention provides an assembly according to claim 1, comprising a slab and a drop section for liquid flow. or fluids, in particular water in a falling flow direction, comprising an upstream tubular drop member, a downstream tubular drop member, a deflection section between the upstream tubular drop member and the upstream drop tubular member downstream chute, a fitting with a flow fitting member opening into the downstream chute tubular member, the upstream chute tubular member, downstream chute tubular member, and flow connector member being substantially aligned in the direction of fall flow. The deflection section comprises a first deflection part in the extension of the upstream tubular drop element and being inclined with respect to the upstream tubular drop element, a second deflection part in the extension of the first deflection part ( and substantially parallel to the direction of the fall flow, and a third deflection part downstream of the second deflection part and opening into the downstream tubular fall element. The fall section is positioned on either side of the slab, the slab comprising a first through hole for the passage of the second offset part and a second through hole for the passage of the flow connection element opening into the downstream tubular element, the first through hole and the second through-hole are oriented in the direction of flow, which is vertical when the chute is in the operative position.

De ce fait, l'invention a surtout trait à des applications dites bi-phasiques. Dans ces applications, un fluide ou liquide doit traverser l'élément de chute sans création de bouchons de liquide. Pour ce faire, il est avantageux de prévoir une circulation complémentaire de l'autre phase. Dans une application de chute d'eaux usées par exemple, il est donc possible d'amorcer ou de maintenir une colonne d'air. Il en résulte une amélioration et une option d'adaptation du débit d'eau pour arriver à une optimisation de la gestion du mélange bi-phasique air-eau dans le dévoiement permettant d'assurer une circulation d'air entre l'amont et l'aval de ladite section de chute. En effet, il a été constaté de manière surprenante que le maintien d'une colonne d'air est possible lors du dévoiement en ne prévoyant que des filets hélicoïdaux sur une ou plusieurs des parties cylindriques. Bien sûr, une optimisation prendra en compte des longueurs adéquates de ces présences de filets hélicoïdaux en respectant des angles de déviation ou de dévoiement sans toutefois augmenter l'encombrement du système puisqu'il n'y a aucun besoin d'une intervention sur la géométrie externe, même si bien sûr une telle adaptation reste possible en complément ou option.As a result, the invention relates above all to so-called two-phase applications. In these applications, a fluid or liquid must pass through the drop member without creating liquid plugs. To do this, it is advantageous to provide a complementary circulation of the other phase. In a wastewater fall application for example, it is therefore possible to initiate or maintain an air column. This results in an improvement and an option of adapting the water flow to achieve an optimization of the management of the two-phase air-water mixture in the deflection making it possible to ensure air circulation between upstream and downstream. 'downstream of said drop section. In fact, it has surprisingly been found that maintaining an air column is possible during deflection by providing only helical threads on one or more of the cylindrical parts. Of course, an optimization will take into account the adequate lengths of these presences of helical threads while respecting the angles of deviation or deviation without increasing the size of the system since there is no need for any intervention on the geometry. external, even if of course such an adaptation remains possible in addition or option.

Selon un aspect, l'élément tubulaire de chute amont, l'élément tubulaire de chute aval et l'élément de raccord d'écoulement et la section de dévoiement sont sensiblement alignés dans un plan parallèle à la direction d'écoulement de chute. Dans une réalisation particulière, l'élément tubulaire de chute amont et l'élément tubulaire de chute aval vont être placés en registre l'un par rapport à l'autre.In one aspect, the upstream chute tubular member, downstream chute tubular member, and flow connector member and deflection section are substantially aligned in a plane parallel to the chute flow direction. In a particular embodiment, the upstream tubular drop element and the downstream tubular drop element will be placed in register with respect to each other.

Selon l'invention, la section de dévoiement comprend une première partie de dévoiement dans le prolongement de l'élément tubulaire de chute amont et inclinée par rapport à l'élément tubulaire de chute amont, une deuxième partie de dévoiement dans le prolongement de la première partie de dévoiement est sensiblement parallèle à la direction d'écoulement de chute, et une troisième partie de dévoiement en aval de la deuxième partie de dévoiement et débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval. Les éléments constituant l'ensemble de la section de chute peuvent être en grande partie des éléments standardisés pour de telles applications. L'adaptation primaire étant des filets hélicoïdaux en surface interne avec préférentiellement une inclinaison des spires d'environ 15° à 30° et avec préférentiellement des longueurs suffisantes pour créer ou maintenir une colonne d'air - longueurs qui seront adaptées au cas par cas en raison des vitesses et des volumes d'écoulement ainsi que des diamètres invoqués.According to the invention, the deflection section comprises a first deflection part in the extension of the upstream tubular drop element and inclined relative to the upstream tubular drop member, a second deflection part in the extension of the first deflection part is substantially parallel to the direction of fall flow, and a third deflection part downstream of the second deflection part and opening into the downstream tubular fall element. The elements constituting the whole of the chute section can be largely standardized elements for such applications. The primary adaptation being helical threads on the internal surface with preferentially an inclination of the turns of about 15 ° to 30 ° and preferably with sufficient lengths to create or maintain an air column - lengths which will be adapted on a case-by-case basis. because of the velocities and volumes of flow as well as the diameters invoked.

Selon un aspect, la deuxième partie de dévoiement comprend une surface interne munie de deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux, en particulier la deuxième partie de dévoiement étant cylindrique.According to one aspect, the second deflection part comprises an internal surface provided with second helical threads, in particular the second deflection part being cylindrical.

Selon un aspect, l'élément de raccord d'écoulement a une surface interne munie de troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux.In one aspect, the flow connector member has an inner surface provided with third helical threads.

Selon un aspect, la troisième partie de dévoiement forme un angle avec l'élément de raccord compris dans la gamme de 20 à 40°, en particulier 30°.In one aspect, the third offset portion forms an angle with the connector member within the range of 20 to 40 °, in particular 30 °.

Selon un aspect, la première partie de dévoiement forme un angle avec l'élément tubulaire de chute amont compris dans la gamme de 30 à 60°, en particulier 45°.In one aspect, the first deflection portion forms an angle with the upstream tubular drop member comprised in the range of 30 to 60 °, in particular 45 °.

Selon un aspect, la première partie de dévoiement forme un angle avec la troisième partie de dévoiement supérieure à 90°, en particulier avec des angles respectifs différents par rapport aux éléments tubulaires résultant en un dévoiement asymétrique. En particulier, la première partie de dévoiement forme un premier angle avec l'élément tubulaire de chute amont et la troisième partie de dévoiement forme un deuxième angle différent du premier angle avec l'élément tubulaire de chute aval, résultant en un dévoiement asymétrique.In one aspect, the first offset portion forms an angle with the third offset portion greater than 90 °, in particular with respective different angles with respect to the tubular members resulting in an asymmetric offset. In particular, the first deflection part forms a first angle with the upstream tubular drop member and the third deflection part forms a second angle different from the first angle with the downstream tubular drop member, resulting in an asymmetric deflection.

L'on peut donc constater que l'écoulement du liquide ou du fluide subit une mise en rotation par les spires des filets hélicoïdaux et un dévoiement uniquement en présence d'angles obtus de sorte que l'optimisation du mélange bi-phasique est de sorte à garantir l'existence d'une colonne d'air indépendamment du débit se créant éventuellement que très occasionnellement.It can therefore be observed that the flow of the liquid or of the fluid undergoes a setting in rotation by the turns of the helical threads and an offset only in the presence of obtuse angles so that the optimization of the two-phase mixture is so to guarantee the existence of an air column regardless of the flow that may be created only very occasionally.

Selon un aspect, l'élément de raccord d'écoulement a une surface interne munie de troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux.In one aspect, the flow connector member has an inner surface provided with third helical threads.

Selon un aspect, au moins deux parmi les premiers filets hélicoïdaux, les deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux et les troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux présentent le même pas de filet et/ou la même orientation de filet. Ce faisant, la continuité de l'optimisation est possible et, en même temps, il est envisageable d'adapter le pas et l'orientation pour une adaptation aux dévoiements. En alternative, il est également possible d'envisager des pas ou des orientations variables, par exemple un pas progressivement plus serré ou espacé pour prévoir une mise en rotation du fluide ou liquide plus ou moins important et/ou pour prévoir un ralentissement plus ou moins important de l'écoulement de manière générale ou ponctuellement dans des endroits bien localisés.In one aspect, at least two of the first helical threads, the second helical threads and the third helical threads have the same thread pitch and / or the same thread orientation. In doing so, the continuity of the optimization is possible and, at the same time, it is conceivable to adapt the pitch and the orientation to adapt to the deviations. As an alternative, it is also possible to envisage variable pitches or orientations, for example a pitch progressively tighter or spaced apart to provide for a greater or lesser rotation of the fluid or liquid and / or to provide for a more or less slowing down. significant flow in general or occasionally in well localized places.

Selon un aspect, au moins deux parmi les premiers filets hélicoïdaux, les deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux et les troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux présentent le même espacement entre filets.In one aspect, at least two of the first helical threads, the second helical threads, and the third helical threads have the same inter-thread spacing.

Selon un aspect, au moins une partie des filets hélicoïdaux présente une inclinaison par rapport à une direction de l'élément tubulaire muni desdits filets hélicoïdaux d'environ 20°, en particulier formant un angle de moins de 30° avec les angles présents dans le dévoiement par rapport à la verticale.According to one aspect, at least a part of the helical threads has an inclination with respect to a direction of the tubular element provided with said helical threads of approximately 20 °, in particular forming an angle of less than 30 ° with the angles present in the offset from the vertical.

Selon un aspect, le raccord est un raccord aérateur avec un élément de raccord équilibreur de pression débouchant dans la section de dévoiement. Il faut noter qu'usuellement un tel élément de raccord est formé par une valve d'admission d'air et que de toute manière un tel élément reste purement optionnel sachant que la colonne d'air persiste dans le dévoiement et, de ce fait, une surpression ne devrait se générer en aucun cas.In one aspect, the fitting is an aerator fitting with a pressure balancing fitting member opening into the deflection section. It should be noted that usually such a connection element is formed by an air intake valve and that in any case such an element remains purely optional, knowing that the air column persists in the offset and, therefore, under no circumstances should overpressure be generated.

Selon un autre aspect de l'invention, il est proposé une chute comprenant un ensemble selon l'invention ou selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel tel que défini dans la présente demande.According to another aspect of the invention, there is proposed a chute comprising an assembly according to the invention or according to a preferred embodiment as defined in the present application.

Sur les dessins, des éléments identiques ou similaires sont indiqués avec des numéros de référence identiques ou similaires. Sur les figures 1 à 4, les sections de chute sont représentées respectivement en vue partiellement explosée, de côté et en vue isométrique avec des décrochements partiels.In the drawings, the same or similar elements are indicated with the same or similar reference numerals. On the figures 1 to 4 , the fall sections are shown in partially exploded view, side view and isometric view respectively with partial setbacks.

La figure 1 illustre une section de chute 1 selon la présente invention. La section de chute 1 est représentée pour l'écoulement des effluents dans une direction d'écoulement de chute. La direction d'écoulement de chute est sensiblement verticale pour une chute, telle que mise en œuvre sur un chantier.The figure 1 illustrates a chute section 1 according to the present invention. The drop section 1 is shown for the flow of effluents in a fall flow direction. The fall flow direction is substantially vertical for a fall, such as implemented on a job site.

La section de chute 1 comprend un élément tubulaire de chute amont 10, un élément tubulaire de chute aval 15, une section de dévoiement 20 entre l'élément tubulaire de chute amont et l'élément tubulaire de chute aval, et un raccord 30 pour le raccord ou le branchement d'évacuation secondaire sur la section de chute.The drop section 1 comprises an upstream tubular drop member 10, a downstream tubular drop member 15, a deflection section 20 between the upstream tubular drop member and the downstream drop tube member, and a connector 30 for the chute. fitting or secondary discharge connection on the drop section.

Le raccord 30 est du type raccord aérateur, avec un élément de raccord d'aération et/ou équilibreur de pression 34 et un élément de raccord d'écoulement 38. L'élément de raccord d'écoulement 38 débouche dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 15, pour le raccordement d'effluents secondaires dans la chute principale. L'élément de raccord équilibreur de pression débouche dans la section de dévoiement 20, pour équilibrer la pression dans la section de dévoiement 20 et dans l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 38.The fitting 30 is of the aerator fitting type, with an aeration and / or pressure balancer fitting element 34 and a flow fitting element 38. The flow fitting element 38 opens into the tubular element of downstream chute 15, for connecting secondary effluents in the main chute. The pressure balancing connector element opens into the deflection section 20, to equalize the pressure in the deflection section 20 and the flow connector element 38.

L'élément tubulaire de chute amont 10, l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 15 sont sensiblement alignés dans la direction d'écoulement de chute. Par ailleurs, l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 10, l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 15 et la section de dévoiement 20 se trouvent sensiblement dans un même plan, qui parallèle à la direction d'écoulement de chute.The upstream tubular drop member 10, the downstream tubular drop member 15 are substantially aligned in the direction of drop flow. On the other hand, the upstream tubular drop member 10, the downstream tubular drop member 15 and the deflection section 20 lie substantially in the same plane, which parallel to the drop flow direction.

La section de dévoiement 20 forme une chicane pour détourner le flux arrivant de la chute au niveau du raccord 30. La section de dévoiement comprend une première partie de dévoiement 22 dans le prolongement de l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 10 et inclinée par rapport à l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 10, une deuxième partie de dévoiement 24 dans le prolongement de la première partie de dévoiement 22 et sensiblement parallèle à la direction d'écoulement de chute, et une troisième partie de dévoiement 26 en aval de la deuxième partie de dévoiement 24 et débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 15.The deflection section 20 forms a baffle to divert the flow arriving from the chute at the level of the connector 30. The deflection section comprises a first deflection part 22 in the extension of the upstream tubular drop member 10 and inclined with respect to the upstream tubular fall element 10, a second deflection part 24 in the extension of the first deflection part 22 and substantially parallel to the direction of the fall flow, and a third deflection part 26 downstream of the second part offset 24 and opening into the downstream tubular drop element 15.

Sur la figure 1, la troisième partie de dévoiement 26 forme un angle avec l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 38 compris dans la gamme de 20 à 40°, en particulier 30°.On the figure 1 , the third deflection portion 26 forms an angle with the flow connection member 38 within the range of 20 to 40 °, in particular 30 °.

Dans la figure 1, l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 10 comprend une surface interne 60 de chute amont munie de premiers filets hélicoïdaux 61.In the figure 1 , the upstream tubular chute element 10 comprises an internal surface 60 of the upstream chute provided with first helical threads 61.

Les premiers filets hélicoïdaux 61 servent à mettre les effluents en rotation, ce qui les plaque contre la surface interne 60, et permet la formation d'une colonne d'air au centre de la conduite.The first helical threads 61 serve to set the effluents in rotation, which presses them against the internal surface 60, and allows the formation of an air column in the center of the pipe.

Les premiers filets hélicoïdaux cassent ainsi le piston d'eau qui a tendance à se former. En d'autres termes, les premiers filets hélicoïdaux 61 servent à amorcer un vortex pour les effluents pour le passage dans la section de dévoiement, c'est-à-dire que la surface interne de l'élément tubulaire amont 10 assure un bon écoulement au niveau de la zone d'embranchement d'effluents secondaires à raccorder sur la conduite principale via le raccord 30, par exemple à chaque niveau d'un immeubleThe first helical threads thus break the water piston which tends to form. In other words, the first helical threads 61 serve to initiate a vortex for the effluent for passage into the deflection section, i.e. the internal surface of the upstream tubular member 10 ensures good flow. at the level of the branching area of secondary effluents to be connected to the main pipe via connection 30, for example at each level of a building

De plus, les premiers filets hélicoïdaux ralentissent le flux d'eau en amont de la déviation, et contribuent ainsi aux caractéristiques hydrauliques du système. Ceci permet de favoriser le comportement fluidique et hydraulique, en quittant la trajectoire de chute libre des effluents. Hydrauliquement, il se crée donc un vortex avec une colonne d'air interne qui reste présente également à l'intérieur du dévoiement puisque les ralentissements induits par ces derniers sont amorcés ou accompagnés par le ralentissement et l'introduction d'une composante de vitesse spiralique des filets hélicoïdaux. Il en résulte une amélioration et une option d'adaptation du débit d'eau pour arriver à une optimisation de la gestion du mélange bi-phasique air-eau dans le dévoiement permettant d'assurer une circulation d'air entre l'amont et l'aval de ladite section de chute.In addition, the first helical threads slow down the flow of water upstream of the bypass, and thus contribute to the hydraulic characteristics of the system. This makes it possible to promote the fluidic and hydraulic behavior, by leaving the path of free fall of the effluents. Hydraulically, a vortex is therefore created with an internal air column which also remains present inside the deflection since the decelerations induced by these are initiated or accompanied by the deceleration and the introduction of a spiral speed component. helical threads. This results in an improvement and an option of adapting the water flow to achieve an optimization of the management of the two-phase air-water mixture in the deflection making it possible to ensure air circulation between upstream and downstream. 'downstream of said drop section.

La figure 2 représente une section de chute 201 qui diffère essentiellement de la figure 1 par la présence de filets hélicoïdaux de dévoiement dans la section de dévoiement. Les éléments identiques entre la figure 1 et la figure 2 ont le même numéro de référence et ne sont pas décrits à nouveau.The figure 2 represents a drop section 201 which differs essentially from the figure 1 by the presence of helical deflection threads in the deflection section. Identical elements between figure 1 and the figure 2 have the same part number and are not described again.

La section de dévoiement 220 comprend une première partie de dévoiement 222 dans le prolongement de l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 10 et inclinée par rapport à l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 10, une deuxième partie de dévoiement 224 dans le prolongement de la première partie de dévoiement 222 et sensiblement parallèle à la direction d'écoulement de chute, et une troisième partie de dévoiement 226 en aval de la deuxième partie de dévoiement 224 et débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 15.The deflection section 220 comprises a first deflection part 222 in the extension of the upstream tubular drop member 10 and inclined relative to the upstream tubular drop member 10, a second deflection part 224 in the extension of the first offset portion 222 and substantially parallel to the direction of flow of chute, and a third deflection part 226 downstream of the second deflection part 224 and opening into the downstream tubular drop element 15.

Selon la figure 2, la deuxième partie de dévoiement 224 a une surface interne munie de deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux 261 de dévoiement.According to figure 2 , the second deflection portion 224 has an internal surface provided with second helical deflection threads 261.

Ainsi, dans la figure 2, l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 10 et la deuxième partie de dévoiement 224 présentent chacune une surface interne avec des filets hélicoïdaux.So in the figure 2 , the upstream tubular drop member 10 and the second deflection portion 224 each have an internal surface with helical threads.

Ainsi, contrairement aux systèmes de l'art antérieur, dans lesquels les effluents sont mis en rotation par l'intermédiaire d'une section de déviation du type spirale, tournant autour de l'axe longitudinal de la section de chute, la présente invention propose d'utiliser une section de chute dans laquelle l'effet vortex est créé par les surfaces internes des éléments. En prévoyant des deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux 261 dans la section de dévoiement 20, en plus des premiers filets hélicoïdaux 61, on assure une continuité du vortex ainsi formé, ce qui améliore l'écoulement et les performances hydrauliques et acoustiques.Thus, unlike the systems of the prior art, in which the effluents are set in rotation by means of a deflection section of the spiral type, rotating around the longitudinal axis of the chute section, the present invention proposes to use a fall section in which the vortex effect is created by the internal surfaces of the elements. By providing second helical threads 261 in the deflection section 20, in addition to the first helical threads 61, continuity of the vortex thus formed is ensured, which improves the flow and the hydraulic and acoustic performance.

De préférence, les premiers filets hélicoïdaux 61 et les deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux 261 ont le même pas de filet et la même orientation de filet, et/ou le même espacement entre filets, pour assurer la continuité du vortex.Preferably, the first helical threads 61 and the second helical threads 261 have the same thread pitch and the same thread orientation, and / or the same spacing between threads, to ensure the continuity of the vortex.

De préférence, les filets sont continus.Preferably, the threads are continuous.

La figure 3 représente une section de chute 301 qui diffère essentiellement des figures 1 et 2 par la présence de filets hélicoïdaux de dévoiement dans l'élément de raccord. Les éléments identiques entre la figure 1 et la figure 3 ont le même numéro de référence et ne sont pas décrits à nouveau.The figure 3 represents a drop section 301 which differs essentially from the figures 1 and 2 by the presence of helical deflection threads in the connecting element. Identical elements between figure 1 and the figure 3 have the same part number and are not described again.

A la figure 3, la section de chute 301 comprend un raccord 300, du type raccord aérateur, avec un élément de raccord équilibreur de pression 334 débouchant dans la section de dévoiement 320 et un élément de raccord d'écoulement 338 débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval. Dans la figure 3, l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 338 pour effluents secondaires comprend une surface interne munie de troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux 361.To the figure 3 , the drop section 301 comprises a fitting 300, of the aerator fitting type, with a pressure-balancing fitting element 334 opening into the deflection section 320 and a flow fitting element 338 opening into the element tubular drop downstream. In the figure 3 , the secondary effluent flow connector 338 comprises an internal surface provided with third helical threads 361.

La figure 4 représente une combinaison des figures 1 à 3, c'est-à-dire une section de chute 401 dans laquelle l'élément de chute amont 10 présente des premiers filets hélicoïdaux 61 sur sa surface interne, la section de dévoiement 220 présente des deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux 261 sur sa surface interne, et l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 338 présente également des troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux 361 sur sa surface interne.The figure 4 represents a combination of figures 1 to 3 , i.e. a chute section 401 in which the upstream chute member 10 has first helical threads 61 on its inner surface, the deflection section 220 has second helical threads 261 on its inner surface, and the flow connector 338 also has third helical threads 361 on its inner surface.

De préférence, au moins deux parmi les premiers filets hélicoïdaux 61, les deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux 261 et les troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux 361 ont le même pas de filet et la même orientation de filet, et/ou le même espacement entre filets.Preferably, at least two of the first helical threads 61, the second helical threads 261 and the third helical threads 361 have the same thread pitch and the same thread orientation, and / or the same spacing between threads.

De préférence, les filets sont continus.Preferably, the threads are continuous.

Des quatrièmes filets hélicoïdaux peuvent également être prévus sur la surface interne de l'élément tubulaire de chute aval.Fourth helical threads may also be provided on the inner surface of the downstream chute tubular member.

Les éléments de chute amont, aval, la section de dévoiement sont de préférence obtenus par extrusion ou injection de matière thermoplastique, du type monocouche PVC rigide. Une charge minérale peut être ajoutée pour l'acoustique de la section de chute.The upstream and downstream chute elements and the deflection section are preferably obtained by extrusion or injection of thermoplastic material, of the rigid PVC monolayer type. A mineral charge can be added for the acoustics of the chute section.

Les éléments de chute peuvent sinon comprendre un manchon extérieur rigide et un manchon acoustique, en contact avec les effluents véhiculés par la conduite. Le manchon extérieur rigide est en PVC rigide, allégé ou non, et le manchon acoustique peut être réalisé en PVC plastifié chargé. On peut également prévoir des additifs anti-feu, pour le manchon extérieur rigide et/ou le manchon acoustique. L'ajout de biocides prévenant la dégradation des plastifiants est également possible.The fall elements may otherwise comprise a rigid outer sleeve and an acoustic sleeve, in contact with the effluents conveyed by the pipe. The rigid outer sleeve is made of rigid PVC, lightened or not, and the acoustic sleeve can be made of loaded plasticized PVC. It is also possible to provide anti-fire additives for the rigid outer sleeve and / or the acoustic sleeve. The addition of biocides preventing the degradation of plasticizers is also possible.

La figure 5 illustre une chute unitaire sanitaire 90 qui part de l'étage supérieur d'un bâtiment pour traverser tous les étages puis le rez-de-chaussée pour déboucher dans le collecteur prévu en sous-sol.The figure 5 illustrates a sanitary unit drop 90 which starts from the upper floor of a building to cross all the floors then the ground floor to emerge into the collector provided in the basement.

La chute comprend des sections de chute selon les figures 1 à 4, connectées en série.The chute includes drop sections according to the figures 1 to 4 , connected in series.

Les appareils ménagers sont branchés sur la chute, par l'intermédiaire des raccords 30, pour l'écoulement des effluents secondaires via l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 38.The household appliances are connected to the chute, via the connectors 30, for the flow of secondary effluents via the flow connector element 38.

Ainsi, grâce à la combinaison d'un raccord optionnellement avec aérateur, dans lequel des filets hélicoïdaux peuvent être prévus, avec des filets hélicoïdaux en amont du raccord, on limite les problèmes de dépression et de désiphonnage qui pourrait en résulter, les problèmes de surpression aboutissant à des gargouillements et nuisances sonores, tout en maintenant un système compact ne nécessitant qu'une seule perforation dans la dalle.Thus, thanks to the combination of a connection optionally with an aerator, in which helical threads can be provided, with helical threads upstream of the connection, the problems of depression and de-siphoning which could result are limited. resulting in gurgling and noise pollution, while maintaining a compact system requiring only one perforation in the panel.

Les figures 6 et 7 illustrent une section de chute 601 selon la présente invention.The figures 6 and 7 illustrate a chute section 601 according to the present invention.

La section de chute 601 est représentée pour l'écoulement des effluents dans une direction d'écoulement de chute. La direction d'écoulement de chute est sensiblement verticale pour une chute, telle que mise en œuvre sur un chantier.Fall section 601 is shown for the flow of effluent in a fall flow direction. The fall flow direction is substantially vertical for a fall, such as implemented on a job site.

La section de chute 601 comprend un élément tubulaire de chute amont 610, un élément tubulaire de chute aval 615, une section de dévoiement 620 entre l'élément tubulaire de chute amont et l'élément tubulaire de chute aval, et un raccord 630 pour le raccord ou le branchement d'évacuation secondaire sur la section de chute.The chute section 601 comprises an upstream tubular chute member 610, a downstream chute tubular member 615, an offset section 620 between the upstream chute tubular member and the downstream chute tubular member, and a connector 630 for the chute. fitting or secondary discharge connection on the drop section.

L'élément tubulaire de chute amont 610, l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 615 sont sensiblement alignés dans la direction d'écoulement de chute. Par ailleurs, l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 610, l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 615 et la section de dévoiement 620 se trouvent sensiblement dans un même plan, qui est parallèle à la direction d'écoulement de chute.The upstream fall tubular member 610, the downstream fall tubular member 615 are substantially aligned in the fall flow direction. On the other hand, the upstream fall tubular member 610, the downstream fall tubular member 615 and the deflection section 620 lie substantially in one plane, which is parallel to the fall flow direction.

La section de dévoiement 620 forme une chicane pour détourner le flux arrivant de la chute au niveau du raccord 630. La section de dévoiement 620 comprend une première partie de dévoiement 622 dans le prolongement de l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 610 et inclinée par rapport à l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 610, une deuxième partie de dévoiement 624 dans le prolongement de la première partie de dévoiement 622 et sensiblement parallèle à la direction d'écoulement de chute, et une troisième partie de dévoiement 626 en aval de la deuxième partie de dévoiement 624 et débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 615.The deflection section 620 forms a baffle to divert the flow arriving from the chute at the level of the connector 630. The deflection section 620 comprises a first deflection part 622 in the extension of the upstream tubular drop element 610 and inclined relative to it. to the upstream tubular fall element 610, a second deflection part 624 in the extension of the first deflection part 622 and substantially parallel to the direction of the fall flow, and a third deflection part 626 downstream of the second offset portion 624 and opening into the downstream tubular drop element 615.

Le raccord 630 est du type raccord aérateur, avec un élément de raccord d'aération et/ou équilibreur de pression 634 et un élément de raccord d'écoulement 638. L'élément de raccord d'écoulement 638 débouche dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 615, pour le raccordement d'effluents secondaires dans la chute principale. L'élément de raccord équilibreur de pression débouche dans la section de dévoiement 620, pour équilibrer la pression dans la section de dévoiement 620 et dans l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 638.Fitting 630 is of the aerator fitting type, with a vent and / or pressure balancing fitting element 634 and a flow fitting element 638. The flow fitting element 638 opens into the tubular element of downstream chute 615, for the connection of secondary effluents in the main chute. The pressure balancing fitting member opens into the bypass section 620, to balance the pressure in the deflection section 620 and the flow fitting member 638.

Une culotte de raccord 660 est prévue pour le raccordement des différents éléments ménagers. Sur les figures 6 et 7, la culote de raccord 660 est prévue pour raccorder une évacuation de toilettes 681, une évacuation d'évier 682 et une évacuation de douche ou baignoire 683. Ceci est donné à titre d'illustration, non limitatif. L'élément de raccord 638, en particulier la culotte de raccord 660, sont orientables, en particulier par rotation autour de la direction d'écoulement de chute, pour faciliter le raccordement des différents éléments ménagers, comme on peut l'observer sur les figures 6 et7.A connector pant 660 is provided for the connection of the various household elements. On the figures 6 and 7 , the connector socket 660 is intended to connect a toilet drain 681, a sink drain 682 and a shower or bath drain 683. This is given by way of illustration, not limiting. The connection element 638, in particular the connection panty 660, are orientable, in particular by rotation around the direction of the fall flow, to facilitate the connection of the various household elements, as can be seen on the pictures. figures 6 and7.

Par ailleurs, la section de chute 601 est positionnée de part et d'autre d'une dalle 690. Plus précisément, la dalle 690 comprend un premier trou traversant 691, pour le passage de la deuxième partie de dévoiement 624, et un deuxième trou traversant 692, pour le passage de l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 638 débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 615. Le premier trou traversant 691 et le deuxième trou traversant 692 sont orientés dans la direction d'écoulement, qui est verticale lorsque la chute est en position fonctionnelle.Furthermore, the drop section 601 is positioned on either side of a slab 690. More precisely, the slab 690 comprises a first through hole 691, for the passage of the second offset part 624, and a second hole 692, for the passage of the flow connection element 638 opening into the downstream tube member 615. The first through hole 691 and the second through hole 692 are oriented in the direction of flow, which is vertical when the chute is in a functional position.

Sur les figures 6 et 7, la culotte de raccord 660 est positionnée au-dessus de la dalle 690, et peut servir pour le raccordement d'appareils sanitaires dont la hauteur le permet. Cependant, certains appareils sanitaires ont une hauteur limitée, comme par exemple les douches dites italiennes. Lorsque la hauteur est limitée, il est parfois compliqué de respecter la pente nécessaire préconisée pour permettre le bon écoulement des fluides jusqu'à la chute. Dans ce cas, la culotte de raccord peut être positionnée sous la dalle, comme illustré sur la figure 8.On the figures 6 and 7 , the connector 660 is positioned above the slab 690, and can be used for the connection of sanitary appliances whose height allows it. However, some sanitary ware have a limited height, such as the so-called Italian showers. When the height is limited, it is sometimes difficult to respect the necessary slope recommended to allow the good flow of fluids until the fall. In this case, the connecting pants can be positioned under the slab, as illustrated in the figure 8 .

A la figure 8, une section de chute 701 est illustrée. La section de chute 701 diffère de la section de chute 601 essentiellement par le raccord 730.To the figure 8 , a drop section 701 is illustrated. The drop section 701 differs from the drop section 601 primarily by the fitting 730.

La section de chute 701 comprend un élément tubulaire de chute amont 710, un élément tubulaire de chute aval 715, une section de dévoiement 720 entre l'élément tubulaire de chute amont et l'élément tubulaire de chute aval, et un raccord 730 pour le raccord ou le branchement d'évacuation secondaire sur la section de chute.The chute section 701 comprises an upstream tubular drop member 710, a downstream tubular drop member 715, a deflection section 720 between the upstream drop tube member and the downstream drop tube member, and a connector 730 for the chute. fitting or secondary discharge connection on the drop section.

La section de dévoiement 720 forme une chicane pour détourner le flux arrivant de la chute au niveau du raccord 730. La section de dévoiement 720 comprend une première partie de dévoiement 722 dans le prolongement de l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 710 et inclinée par rapport à l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 710, une deuxième partie de dévoiement 724 dans le prolongement de la première partie de dévoiement 722 et sensiblement parallèle à la direction d'écoulement de chute, et une troisième partie de dévoiement 726 en aval de la deuxième partie de dévoiement 724 et débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 715.The deflection section 720 forms a baffle to divert the flow arriving from the chute at the level of the connector 730. The deflection section 720 comprises a first deflection portion 722 in the extension of the upstream tubular drop element 710 and inclined relative to it. to the upstream tubular fall element 710, a second deflection part 724 in the extension of the first deflection part 722 and substantially parallel to the direction of the fall flow, and a third deflection part 726 downstream of the second offset part 724 and opening into the downstream tubular drop element 715.

Le raccord 730 est du type raccord aérateur, avec un élément de raccord d'aération et/ou équilibreur de pression 734 et un élément de raccord d'écoulement 738. L'élément de raccord d'écoulement 738 débouche dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 715, pour le raccordement d'effluents secondaires dans la chute principale. L'élément de raccord équilibreur de pression débouche dans la section de dévoiement 720, pour équilibrer la pression dans la section de dévoiement 720 et dans l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 738.Fitting 730 is of the aerator fitting type, with a vent and / or pressure balancing fitting element 734 and a flow fitting element 738. The flow fitting element 738 opens into the tubular element of downstream chute 715, for the connection of secondary effluents in the main chute. The pressure balancing connector element opens into the deflection section 720, to balance the pressure in the deflection section 720 and the flow connector element 738.

Par ailleurs, la section de chute 701 est positionnée de part et d'autre d'une dalle 790. Plus précisément, la dalle 790 comprend un premier trou traversant 791, pour le passage de la deuxième partie de dévoiement 724, et un deuxième trou traversant 792, pour le passage de l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 738 débouchant dans l'élément tubulaire de chute aval 715. Le premier trou traversant 791 et le deuxième trou traversant 792 sont orientés dans la direction d'écoulement, qui est verticale lorsque la chute est en position fonctionnelle.Furthermore, the drop section 701 is positioned on either side of a slab 790. More specifically, the slab 790 comprises a first through hole 791, for the passage of the second offset part 724, and a second hole through 792, for the passage of the flow connection element 738 opening into the downstream tubular drop element 715. The first through hole 791 and the second through hole 792 are oriented in the direction of flow, which is vertical when the chute is in a functional position.

Dans cet exemple, une culotte de raccord 760 est prévue pour le raccordement des différents éléments ménagers, au-dessus de la dalle. Une culotte de raccord additionnelle 770 est également prévue, au-dessous de la dalle 790.In this example, a connecting pant 760 is provided for the connection of the various household elements, above the slab. An additional connector 770 is also provided, below the slab 790.

Ceci est donné à titre d'illustration, non limitatif. Le raccord 730 pourrait n'avoir qu'une seule culotte de raccord 770, sous la dalle, ou une culotte de raccord 760 au-dessus de la dalle.This is given by way of illustration, not limiting. Fitting 730 could have only one fitting 770, below the slab, or one fitting 760 above the slab.

L'élément de raccord 738, en particulier la culotte de raccord 760 et la culotte de raccord additionnelle 770, sont orientables, en particulier par rotation autour de la direction d'écoulement de chute, pour faciliter le raccordement des différents éléments ménagers.The connector element 738, in particular the connector pant 760 and the additional connector pant 770, are orientable, in particular by rotation about the direction of the fall flow, to facilitate the connection of the various household elements.

On constate également que la section de chute 701 est plus longue que la section de chute 601 des figures 6 et 7. La section de chute 701 présente une plus grande longueur de la deuxième section de dévoiement 724, pour prendre en compte la culotte de raccord additionnelle 770.It is also seen that the drop section 701 is longer than the drop section 601 of the figures 6 and 7 . The drop section 701 has a greater length of the second deflection section 724, to accommodate the additional connecting pants 770.

Afin d'optimiser les performances de la chute, la section de chute peut comprendre des premiers, deuxièmes, troisièmes et/ou quatrièmes filets hélicoïdaux, similairement aux sections de chute illustrées sur les figures 1 à 4.In order to optimize the performance of the leech, the leech section may include first, second, third and / or fourth helical threads, similar to the leech sections illustrated in the drawings. figures 1 to 4 .

Les figures 6a, 7a et 8a représentent des sections de chute qui diffèrent des sections de chute représentées respectivement sur les figures 6, 7 et 8, par la présence de filets hélicoïdaux.The figures 6a, 7a and 8a represent drop sections which differ from the drop sections shown respectively on the figures 6, 7 and 8 , by the presence of helical threads.

Ainsi, l'élément tubulaire de chute amont 610, 710 comprend une surface interne de chute amont, qui peut être munie de premiers filets hélicoïdaux 664. Les premiers filets hélicoïdaux servent à mettre les effluents en rotation, ce qui les plaque contre la surface interne, permettant la formation d'une colonne d'air au centre de la conduite.Thus, the upstream tubular drop element 610, 710 comprises an internal upstream chute surface, which can be provided with first helical threads 664. The first helical threads serve to set the effluents in rotation, which presses them against the internal surface. , allowing the formation of an air column in the center of the pipe.

La deuxième partie de dévoiement 624, 724 a une surface interne qui peut être munie de deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux 661, 761 de dévoiement.The second deflection portion 624, 724 has an internal surface which can be provided with second helical deflection threads 661, 761.

De même, l'élément de raccord d'écoulement 638, 738 pour effluents secondaires comprend une surface interne quoi peut être munie de troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux 663, 763.Likewise, the secondary effluent flow connector 638, 738 includes an internal surface which may be provided with third helical threads 663, 763.

De préférence, au moins deux parmi les premiers filets hélicoïdaux, les deuxièmes filets hélicoïdaux et les troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux ont le même pas de filet et la même orientation de filet, et/ou le même espacement entre filets. De préférence, les filets sont continus.Preferably, at least two of the first helical threads, the second helical threads and the third helical threads have the same thread pitch and the same thread orientation, and / or the same spacing between threads. Preferably, the threads are continuous.

Des quatrièmes filets hélicoïdaux 665 peuvent également être prévus sur la surface interne de l'élément tubulaire de chute aval.Fourth helical threads 665 may also be provided on the inner surface of the downstream chute tubular member.

Les figures 6a, 7a et 8a représentent des sections de chute avec des premiers, deuxièmes, troisièmes, quatrièmes filets hélicoïdaux. Ceci est donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif uniquement, et le nombre de filets hélicoïdaux peut varier, comme les exemples des figures 1 à 4. Par exemple, une section de chute peut être munie uniquement des deuxièmes et troisièmes filets hélicoïdaux.The figures 6a, 7a and 8a represent drop sections with first, second, third, fourth helical threads. This is given by way of non-limiting example only, and the number of helical threads may vary, such as the examples of figures 1 to 4 . For example, a drop section may be provided with only the second and third helical threads.

Ainsi, on constate que l'agencement de la section de chute selon la présente invention est modulaire et permet une grande flexibilité par rapport à la dalle. Le positionnement de la culotte peut être fait au-dessus et/ou au-dessous de la dalle. L'homme du métier comprend que cela permet de respecter les pentes préconisées permettant l'écoulement des fluides pour atteindre la section de chute et la chute, et ce quel que soit la hauteur de l'appareil ou de l'élément sanitaire à raccorder. De plus, la ou les culottes sont orientables, ce qui facilite d'autant plus le raccordement des éléments, quel que soit leur positionnement dans l'espace par rapport à la section de chute.Thus, it can be seen that the arrangement of the drop section according to the present invention is modular and allows great flexibility with respect to the slab. The positioning of the panties can be done above and / or below the slab. Those skilled in the art understand that this makes it possible to comply with the recommended slopes allowing the flow of fluids to reach the drop section and the drop, and this regardless of the height of the appliance or of the sanitary element to be connected. In addition, the panty (s) can be oriented, which all the more facilitates the connection of the elements, regardless of their positioning in space relative to the drop section.
