In particular, one thinks of a multitude of explosives in several different forms and states. Unconfined buildings, cassettes, asphalt mixes, pulverulent materials, machining slurries, detonators and explosive-laden waste may be mentioned.

- the double cord has two pods in which the ends of the sublimable wire are plugged, the pods being offset relative to each other not to be in contact with each other, once positioned in the piece of wool steel.
- the igniter according to the invention comprises mainly an open tube 1, inside which is placed a piece of steel wool 9, occupying the entire inner section of the open tube 1. Inside this piece of wool 9 steel, is placed a sublimable wire 8. This sublimable 8 wire is powered in electricity by a double electrical cord 6, which arrives at the piece of steel wool 9 and is equipped with two lugs, not shown in this figure.

- Each lug 7 is placed at the end of one of the two parts of the double electrical cord 6 and allows one end of the wire 8 to to be fixed. Note that the position of the two lugs 7 is shifted longitudinally, if we bring the two parts of the electrical cord 6. This is intended so that the two lugs 7 are not in contact with each other, once set to the inside of the piece of steel wool 9, the mounting does not necessarily ensure a precise and separate positioning of these two lugs 7. This avoids a risk of short circuit in the igniter.
- the operating principle of the igniter is as follows. A current of sufficient intensity implodes the wire 8 sublimable. Thus, the piece of steel wool burns. The supply of compressed air through the inlet tube 4 makes it possible to maintain this combustion and the formation of an intense flame for a period of several minutes. Thus, the combustion of the materials inside the open tube 1 continues.
- the igniter When using, simply connect the igniter to a power supply and a compressed air supply. The igniter is then placed in front of the waste to be destroyed. The opening of a service valve for supplying compressed air is then opened. The wire 8 is then energized. A voltage of 25 volts can be used at an intensity of between 10 and 20 amperes. The pressure of the compressed air to be sent inside the igniter can be of the order of 1 bar. Once these conditions are fulfilled, the firing can then take place.

- the mounting principle is as follows.
- a first phase is to crimp the wire 8 on the two pods 7.
- the second operation is the establishment of the electrical cord 6 in the piece of steel wool 9, which has been precut.
- a third operation is to introduce this set into the open tube 1, which is preferably made of cardboard.
- the following operation consists of placing the open tube 10, which serves as a spacer, inside the open tube 1.

Description
L'invention se rapporte aux inflammateurs, générateurs de flammes et autres dispositifs destinés à mettre en état d'inflammation un comburant permettant la combustion d'objets. Il se rapporte en particulier au domaine du démantèlement d'installations contenant des déchets pyrotechniques à détruire. On pense en particulier à une multitude d'explosifs sous plusieurs formes et états différents. On peut citer des édifices non confinés, des casseaux, des enrobés, des matériaux pulvérulents, des boues d'usinage, des détonateurs et des déchets souillés d'explosifs. Les déchets souillés d'explosifs, objets et matériaux se présentent sous la forme de matériels, matériaux, équipements de protection individuelle, outillages, machines, solvants, la plupart du temps souillés d'explosifs rencontrés sur le site.The invention relates to igniters, flame generators and other devices for igniting an oxidizer for the combustion of objects. It relates in particular to the field of the dismantling of installations containing pyrotechnic waste to be destroyed. In particular, one thinks of a multitude of explosives in several different forms and states. Unconfined buildings, cassettes, asphalt mixes, pulverulent materials, machining slurries, detonators and explosive-laden waste may be mentioned. Waste contaminated with explosives, objects and materials comes in the form of materials, materials, personal protective equipment, tools, machines, solvents, most of the time contaminated with explosives encountered on the site.
Une technique de destruction de déchets pyrotechniques, actuellement en usage, est de brûler ces déchets à l'air libre. Le bon déroulement de cette opération de brûlage commence par une étape essentielle consistant à initier une combustion, c'est-à-dire provoquer l'allumage.A pyrotechnic waste destruction technique, currently in use, is to burn this waste in the open air. The smooth running of this burning operation begins with an essential step of initiating a combustion, that is to say causing ignition.
Cet allumage se fait, la plupart du temps, à l'aide de dispositifs appelés « inflammateurs pyrotechniques ». Ces appareils initiateurs sont, par définition, constitués de deux éléments indispensables, qui sont une résistance et un mélange pyrotechnique, lui-même composé d'un combustible et d'un oxydant. Pour constituer ces derniers, on peut utiliser du titane, du zirconium et du nitrate de potassium et du perchlorate de potassium.This ignition is done, most of the time, using devices called "pyrotechnic igniters". These initiator devices are, by definition, made up of two indispensable elements, which are a resistance and a pyrotechnic mixture, itself composed of a fuel and an oxidant. To form these can be used titanium, zirconium and potassium nitrate and potassium perchlorate.
Une goutte du mélange pyrotechnique est déposée sur la résistance, qui est généralement constituée d'un fil fin métallique et torsadé. Dès qu'un courant électrique d'une intensité suffisante, à environ 0,6 Ampères, circule au travers de la résistance durant un temps donné, environ 0,3 ms, le mélange pyrotechnique brûle. Ceci permet le départ de la combustion de la matière et permet l'allumage du comburant imbibant la matière à détruire.A drop of the pyrotechnic mixture is deposited on the resistor, which is generally made of a thin metal wire and twisted. As soon as an electric current of sufficient intensity, at about 0.6 amperes, flows through the resistor for a given time, about 0.3 ms, the pyrotechnic mixture burns. This allows the start of the combustion of the material and allows the ignition of the oxidizer soaking the material to be destroyed.
Ce type de dispositif est proche de certains détonateurs, cependant, il en diffère dans le sens qu'il n'a pas pour fonction de produire une onde de choc.This type of device is close to certain detonators, however, it differs in the sense that it does not function to produce a shock wave.
Les inflammateurs pyrotechniques utilisent un mélange pyrotechnique et engendre donc plusieurs problèmes qui sont les suivants :
- transport des inflammateurs sur le site d'utilisation, avec soumission aux accords européens en vigueur, relatifs au transport international de marchandises dangereuses par la route ;
- mise en œuvre du dispositif sur le site, nécessitant la présence de personnel habilité et compétent ; et
- conditions de stockage et précautions lors de la manipulation des inflammateurs, par exemple pour éviter des chocs, des frictions et les éloigner de toute source de chaleur.
- transport of igniters on the site of use, with submission to the European agreements in force, relating to the international carriage of dangerous goods by road;
- implementation of the device on the site, requiring the presence of authorized and competent personnel; and
- Storage conditions and precautions when handling igniters, for example to avoid shocks, friction and away from any source of heat.
De plus, la flamme générée par de tels moyens, lors de l'inflammation du comburant, a une durée de quelques secondes seulement. L'opération s'avère alors délicate, lorsque les conditions climatiques sont défavorables, par exemple en présence de vent et/ou de pluie.In addition, the flame generated by such means, during the ignition of the oxidant, has a duration of only a few seconds. The operation is then delicate, when the weather conditions are unfavorable, for example in the presence of wind and / or rain.

Le but de l'invention est d'éviter les inconvénients des appareils susmentionnés, et les problèmes qu'ils posent et d'abaisser le coût de tels appareils.The object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the aforementioned devices, and the problems they pose and lower the cost of such devices.
L'objet principal de l'invention est un inflammateur destructible, qui comprend principalement :
- un tube ouvert ;
- un morceau de laine d'acier placé dans le tube ouvert ;
- un fil sublimable sous une sollicitation électrique (dénommé communément « fil à éclat ») placé dans le morceau de laine d'acier ;
- un double cordon électrique connecté au fil mis dans la laine d'acier pour l'alimenter en électricité ;
- un tuyau d'arrivée d'air comprimé, débouchant à l'arrière du morceau de laine d'acier du même côté que le double cordon électrique ; et
- un disque placé du côté du tuyau d'arrivée d'air comprimé et du double cordon électrique, le disque maintenant en position ces deux derniers, le cordon électrique traversant le disque.
- an open tube;
- a piece of steel wool placed in the open tube;
- a sublimable yarn under electrical stress (commonly referred to as "flash yarn") placed in the piece of steel wool;
- a double electric cord connected to the wire put in the steel wool to supply it with electricity;
- a compressed air inlet pipe, opening at the rear of the piece of steel wool on the same side as the double electric cord; and
- a disc placed on the side of the compressed air supply pipe and the double electrical cord, the disc holding these two last in position, the electrical cord passing through the disc.
De préférence, le tube et le disque sont en carton.Preferably, the tube and the disc are made of cardboard.
Dans une réalisation préférentielle, on utilise un cylindre en mousse placé contre le disque, à l'extérieur de celui-ci, dans le but de maintenir le double cordon électrique et le tuyau d'arrivée d'air comprimé. Cela permet l'étanchéité de l'intérieur du tube, au niveau du disque. Le disque permet également de protéger le cylindre en mousse des rayonnements thermiques.In a preferred embodiment, a foam cylinder placed against the disc, outside thereof, is used for the purpose of maintaining the dual electrical cord and the compressed air supply pipe. This allows the sealing of the inside of the tube at the disc. The disc also protects the foam cylinder from thermal radiation.
De préférence, il est intéressant d'utiliser une entretoise placée dans le tube ouvert, entre le morceau de laine d'acier et le disque. L'entretoise permet d'avoir une reproductibilité de fabrication de l'inflammateur.Preferably, it is advantageous to use a spacer placed in the open tube, between the piece of steel wool and the disc. The spacer allows to have reproducibility of manufacture of the igniter.
Il est intéressant que le double cordon possède deux cosses dans lesquelles les extrémités du fil sublimable sont enfichées, les cosses étant décalées l'une par rapport à l'autre pour ne pas être en contact entre elles, une fois positionnées dans le morceau de laine d'acier.It is interesting that the double cord has two pods in which the ends of the sublimable wire are plugged, the pods being offset relative to each other not to be in contact with each other, once positioned in the piece of wool steel.
Il est intéressant d'utiliser un embout en silicone sur l'extrémité du tuyau d'arrivée pour faciliter le maintien de celui-ci sans arracher ce tuyau d'arrivée par rapport au disque.It is interesting to use a silicone tip on the end of the inlet pipe to facilitate the maintenance of the latter without tearing the inlet pipe relative to the disc.

Le principe de fonctionnement de l'inflammateur est le suivant. Un courant d'une intensité suffisante implose le fil 8 sublimable. Ainsi, le morceau de laine d'acier brûle. L'alimentation en air comprimé par le tube d'arrivée 4 permet d'entretenir cette combustion et la formation d'une flamme intense pendant une durée de plusieurs minutes. Ainsi, la combustion des matériaux à l'intérieur du tube ouvert 1 continue.The operating principle of the igniter is as follows. A current of sufficient intensity implodes the
La composition de l'ensemble de l'inflammateur, en partie en carton, permet sa destruction quasi complète à la fin de l'opération.The composition of the whole of the igniter, partly in cardboard, allows its almost complete destruction at the end of the operation.
Lors de l'utilisation, il suffit de raccorder l'inflammateur à une alimentation électrique et une alimentation en air comprimé. L'inflammateur est alors placé face aux déchets à détruire. L'ouverture d'une vanne de service d'alimentation en air comprimé est alors ouverte. Le fil 8 est alors mis sous tension. On peut utiliser une tension de 25 Volts à une intensité comprise entre 10 et 20 Ampères. La pression de l'air comprimé à envoyer à l'intérieur de l'inflammateur peut être de l'ordre de 1 bar. Une fois ces conditions remplies, la mise à feu peut alors avoir lieu.When using, simply connect the igniter to a power supply and a compressed air supply. The igniter is then placed in front of the waste to be destroyed. The opening of a service valve for supplying compressed air is then opened. The
