Description

La présente invention concerne un adaptateur pour radiateur à eau, en particulier un adaptateur qui se fixe sur le corps du robinet thermostatique dudit radiateur et permet la mise en place d'une tête thermostatique.The present invention relates to an adapter for a water radiator, in particular an adapter which is fixed on the body of the thermostatic valve of said radiator and allows the installation of a thermostatic head.

Le chauffage d'une pièce d'un bâtiment peut être réalisé à l'aide d'une chaudière qui assure le chauffage de l'eau et d'un radiateur à eau chaude dans lequel circule l'eau chaude fournie par la chaudière.Heating of a room in a building can be carried out using a boiler which heats the water and a hot water radiator in which the hot water supplied by the boiler circulates.

Un radiateur à eau chaude comporte classiquement un corps creux alimenté par une canalisation d'entrée par laquelle l'eau chaude arrive dans le corps creux et une canalisation de sortie par laquelle l'eau s'évacue du corps creux.A hot water radiator conventionally comprises a hollow body supplied by an inlet pipe by which the hot water arrives in the hollow body and an outlet pipe by which the water is removed from the hollow body.

Le radiateur présente également, entre la canalisation d'entrée et le corps creux, un robinet qui présente une écluse et un clapet monté mobile entre une position ouverte qui dégage l'écluse pour laisser l'eau passer et une position fermée qui obture l'écluse pour bloquer le passage de l'eau.The radiator also has, between the inlet pipe and the hollow body, a valve which has a lock and a valve mounted movable between an open position which releases the lock to let the water pass and a closed position which closes the lock to block the passage of water.

Le clapet est monté sur un ressort de rappel qui le contraint en position ouverte.The valve is mounted on a return spring which forces it into the open position.

Le clapet se prolonge à l'extérieur du robinet par un pointeau.The valve extends outside the tap with a needle.

Pour régler le flux d'eau chaude traversant le corps creux, le radiateur à eau chaude présente un thermostat réglable manuellement qui est fixé sur le robinet et qui présente une molette et un poussoir qui est configuré pour pousser sur le pointeau. Ainsi, en fonction du réglage de la molette, le poussoir va se déplacer parallèlement à l'axe du pointeau, ce qui va permettre un déplacement du pointeau et donc du clapet.To regulate the flow of hot water passing through the hollow body, the hot water radiator has a manually adjustable thermostat which is fixed on the tap and which has a knob and a plunger which is configured to push on the needle. Thus, depending on the setting of the dial, the pusher will move parallel to the axis of the needle, which will allow movement of the needle and therefore of the valve.

Un problème de ce genre d'installation réside dans le fait qu'il existe de nombreux types de robinets que ce soit en forme ou en diamètre, et il est alors nécessaire de prévoir une tête thermostatique pour chaque type de robinet (ou un jeu de bagues d'adaptation). Il est, par ailleurs, connu un adaptateur pour un robinet thermostatique comme l'illustre le document WO 2014/017935 . Cet adaptateur est interposable entre le corps du robinet et la tête thermostatique du robinet. Cet adaptateur présente un axe longitudinal et comporte un corps présentant une ouverture à coulisseau présentant une ouverture et un écrou coaxiaux avec l'axe longitudinal et montés mobiles sur le corps parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal entre une position proche où le coulisseau se rapproche du robinet, et une position éloignée où le coulisseau s'éloigne du robinet. Un tel adaptateur est toutefois difficile à monter.One problem with this kind of installation is that there are many types of valves, whether in shape or in diameter, and it is then necessary to provide a thermostatic head for each type of valve (or a set of adapter rings). It is, moreover, known an adapter for a thermostatic valve as illustrated in the document WO 2014/017935 . This adapter can be inserted between the valve body and the thermostatic valve head. This adapter has a longitudinal axis and comprises a body having a slide opening having an opening and a nut coaxial with the longitudinal axis and mounted movably on the body parallel to the longitudinal axis between a close position where the slide approaches the tap. , and a distant position where the slide moves away from the tap. However, such an adapter is difficult to mount.

Un objet de la présente invention est de proposer un adaptateur pour un radiateur à eau qui puisse se fixer sur tous les types de robinets afin de pouvoir monter une tête thermostatique standard sur l'adaptateur.An object of the present invention is to provide an adapter for a water radiator which can be attached to all types of taps in order to be able to mount a standard thermostatic head on the adapter.

A cet effet, est proposé un adaptateur pour un radiateur présentant un robinet, ledit adaptateur présentant un axe longitudinal et comportant :

  • a return element (402, Fig. 4 ) which forces the slide 102 in a distant position, and
  • a screw 108 with a central bore 114 and which screws into the nut 110.

Les ouvertures 150 et 152 permettent l'introduction du robinet 50. L'écrou 110 est disposé à l'opposé par rapport à l'ouverture 152.The openings 150 and 152 allow the introduction of the tap 50. The nut 110 is arranged opposite to the opening 152.

Comme le montrent les Figs. 1 à 4, la position proche correspond à une position où le coulisseau 102 se rapproche de l'ouverture 152 du corps 104 et la position éloignée correspond à une position où le coulisseau 102 s'éloigne de l'ouverture 152 du corps 104.As the Figs. 1 to 4 , the near position corresponds to a position where the slider 102 approaches the opening 152 of the body 104 and the distant position corresponds to a position where the slider 102 moves away from the opening 152 of the body 104.

Les barres 106a-b sont disposées de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal 10 et de manière à venir de part et d'autre du robinet 50 et sous le bourrelet 56 comme cela est expliqué ci-dessous. Le plan passant par les axes des deux barres 106a-b est un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal 10.The bars 106a-b are arranged on either side of the longitudinal axis 10 and so as to come on either side of the tap 50 and under the bead 56 as is explained below. The plane passing through the axes of the two bars 106a-b is a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 10.

Le coulisseau 102 est ici monté à l'intérieur du corps 104 qui prend ici la forme d'une coque.The slide 102 is here mounted inside the body 104 which here takes the form of a shell.

La Fig. 5 montre le coulisseau 102. Les Figs. 6 et 7 montrent le corps 104.The Fig. 5 shows slide 102. The Figs. 6 and 7 show body 104.

L'extrémité de chaque barre 106a-b est montée dans le corps 104 de manière à être mobile en translation par rapport audit corps 104 selon une direction de translation 60 inscrite dans un plan de translation perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal 10. La translation de chaque barre 106a-b permet, selon le sens, d'écarter ou de resserrer les barres 106a-b. A cette fin le corps 104 présente, pour l'extrémité de chaque barre 106a-b, un moyen de guidage assurant un déplacement de ladite barre 106a-b perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal 10. Ici, chaque moyen de guidage prend la forme d'une rainure (602, Fig. 6) parallèle au plan de translation et dans laquelle l'extrémité de ladite barre 106a-b glisse.The end of each bar 106a-b is mounted in the body 104 so as to be movable in translation relative to said body 104 in a direction of translation 60 inscribed in a translation plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 10. The translation of each bar 106a-b makes it possible, depending on the direction, to spread or tighten the bars 106a-b. To this end, the body 104 has, for the end of each bar 106a-b, a guide means ensuring a displacement of said bar 106a-b perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 10. Here, each guide means takes the form of '' a groove (602, Fig. 6 ) parallel to the translation plane and in which the end of said bar 106a-b slides.

Chaque barre 106a-b traverse également deux fentes 112a-b du coulisseau 102 qui sont en vis-à-vis. Les deux fentes 112a-b associées à la même barre 106a-b sont parallèles et chacune est inscrite dans un plan de serrage parallèle à l'axe longitudinal 10 et les deux plans de serrage sont disposés de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal 10. Deux des fentes 112a-b associées à des barres 106a-b différentes sont disposées dans un des plans de serrage et les deux autres fentes 112a-b sont disposées dans l'autre plan de serrage. Les deux fentes 112a-b qui sont disposées dans un même plan de serrage sont disposées en V où la pointe est orientée vers les ouvertures 150 et 152 (ici vers le bas), c'est-à-dire vers le robinet 50 avant son introduction, et les extrémités écartées sont orientées du côté opposé (ici vers le haut). La disposition en V permet de créer un phénomène de coin qui sert le robinet 50.Each bar 106a-b also passes through two slots 112a-b of the slider 102 which are opposite. The two slots 112a-b associated with the same bar 106a-b are parallel and each is inscribed in a clamping plane parallel to the longitudinal axis 10 and the two clamping planes are arranged on either side of the longitudinal axis 10. Two of the slots 112a-b associated with bars 106a- b different are arranged in one of the clamping planes and the other two slots 112a-b are arranged in the other clamping plane. The two slots 112a-b which are arranged in the same clamping plane are arranged in a V where the point is oriented towards the openings 150 and 152 (here downwards), that is to say towards the tap 50 before its introduction, and the ends apart are oriented on the opposite side (here upwards). The V-shaped arrangement makes it possible to create a wedge phenomenon which serves the valve 50.

La mise en place de l'adaptateur 100 consiste à introduire le pointeau 54 et le corps 52 du robinet 50 par les ouvertures 150 et 152. Une pression sur la vis 108 tend à déplacer le coulisseau 102 vers le robinet 50 et les barres 106a-b s'écartent sous l'effet combiné des rainures 602 qui restent globalement immobiles et des fentes 112a-b qui s'enfoncent, ce qui tend à écarter les barres 106a-b du fait que les extrémités des fentes 112a-b s'enfoncent. Le corps 104 tend à s'enfoncer en même temps.The installation of the adapter 100 consists in introducing the needle 54 and the body 52 of the valve 50 through the openings 150 and 152. A pressure on the screw 108 tends to move the slide 102 towards the valve 50 and the bars 106a- b deviate under the combined effect of the grooves 602 which remain generally stationary and of the slots 112a-b which sink, which tends to spread the bars 106a-b because the ends of the slots 112a-b sink . The body 104 tends to sink at the same time.

Lorsque les barres 106a-b sont passées au-delà du bourrelet 56, le relâchement de la vis 108 permet le serrage des barres 106a-b à l'arrière du bourrelet 56 sous l'effet combiné de l'élément de rappel 402 qui tend à repousser le coulisseau 102, et des barres 106a-b qui se resserrent sous l'effet combiné des rainures 602 qui restent globalement immobiles et des fentes 112a-b qui se relèvent.When the bars 106a-b have passed beyond the bead 56, the loosening of the screw 108 allows the bars 106a-b to be tightened at the rear of the bead 56 under the combined effect of the return element 402 which tends pushing the slide 102, and bars 106a-b which tighten under the combined effect of grooves 602 which remain generally stationary and slots 112a-b which rise.

La fixation définitive de l'adaptateur 100 sur le robinet 50 est alors assurée par le vissage de la vis 108 qui s'enfonce et vient appuyer contre le corps 52 du robinet 50 tout en assurant l'accès au pointeau 54 par l'alésage central 114.The final fixing of the adapter 100 on the tap 50 is then ensured by the screwing of the screw 108 which sinks and presses against the body 52 of the tap 50 while ensuring access to the needle 54 by the central bore. 114.

Il est alors possible de fixer une tête thermostatique sur la vis 108, il suffit pour cela que la tête thermostatique présente un trou taraudé compatible avec la vis 108.It is then possible to fix a thermostatic head on the screw 108, it suffices for this that the thermostatic head has a tapped hole compatible with the screw 108.

Un tel adaptateur 100 permet donc de s'affranchir des caractéristiques du robinet 50 pour fixer la tête thermostatique.Such an adapter 100 therefore overcomes the characteristics of the valve 50 to fix the thermostatic head.

La tête thermostatique présente une tige qui pénètre la partie haute de l'alésage central 114. Pour venir appuyer contre le pointeau 54, l'adaptateur 100 comporte une tige complémentaire 120 logée dans l'alésage central 114 et qui est montée mobile en translation dans l'alésage central 114 parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal 10. La tige complémentaire 120 vient ainsi appuyer contre le pointeau 54 sous l'action de la tige de la tête thermostatique.The thermostatic head has a rod which penetrates the upper part of the central bore 114. To come to press against the needle 54, the adapter 100 comprises a complementary rod 120 housed in the central bore 114 and which is mounted movable in translation in the central bore 114 parallel to the longitudinal axis 10. The complementary rod 120 thus comes to press against the needle 54 under the action of the rod of the thermostatic head.

La forme du corps 104 et la forme du coulisseau 102 sont adaptées de manière à épouser la forme des canalisations sur lesquelles le robinet 50 est fixé. A cette fin, le corps 104 et le coulisseau 102 présentent du côté de leurs ouvertures 150, 152 globalement une forme de fer à cheval.The shape of the body 104 and the shape of the slide 102 are adapted so as to match the shape of the pipes on which the tap 50 is fixed. To this end, the body 104 and the slide 102 have, on the side of their openings 150, 152 generally a shape of a horseshoe.

L'élément de rappel 402 est ici un ressort de compression qui est logé dans un logement 604 du corps 104 entre un fond 406 solidaire du corps 104 et une butée 408 du coulisseau 102, mais il pourrait prendre une autre forme comme par exemple un élément élastique qui contraint le coulisseau 102 en position éloignée.The return element 402 is here a compression spring which is housed in a housing 604 of the body 104 between a bottom 406 integral with the body 104 and a stop 408 of the slide 102, but it could take another form such as for example an element elastic which forces the slider 102 in a distant position.

Pour éviter la séparation du corps 104 et du coulisseau 102 sous l'action de l'élément de rappel 402, l'adaptateur 100 présente des moyens de verrouillage. Les moyens de verrouillage prennent ici la forme de quatre languettes 410 du coulisseau 102, les languettes 410 venant buter sous les bords de la rainure 602 du corps 104 sous l'action de l'élément de rappel 402.To avoid separation of the body 104 and the slide 102 under the action of the return element 402, the adapter 100 has locking means. The locking means here take the form of four tongues 410 of the slide 102, the tongues 410 coming to abut under the edges of the groove 602 of the body 104 under the action of the return element 402.

Le coulisseau 102 présente deux bavettes 116a-b symétriques, qui sont fixées de part et d'autre de l'ouverture 150. Les bavettes 116a-b sont souples et permettent de centrer l'adaptateur 100 par rapport au robinet 50 lors de sa mise en place. Chaque bavette 116a-b prend la forme d'une plaque fixée au coulisseau 102 dans un plan perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal 10.The slide 102 has two symmetrical flaps 116a-b, which are fixed on either side of the opening 150. The flaps 116a-b are flexible and allow the adapter 100 to be centered relative to the tap 50 when it is put in in place. Each flap 116a-b takes the form of a plate fixed to the slide 102 in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 10.

Les Fig. 8 à 10 montrent un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel les positions des fentes et des rainures sont inversées entre le corps et le coulisseau et où l'écrou a été transféré du coulisseau sur le corps. La Fig. 9 montre le coulisseau 1002 et la Fig. 10 montre le corps 1004.The Fig. 8 to 10 show a second embodiment of the invention in which the positions of the slots and the grooves are reversed between the body and the slider and where the nut has been transferred from the slider to the body. The Fig. 9 shows slide 1002 and the Fig. 10 shows body 1004.

La fonction de translation perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal est donc maintenant assurée par le corps 1002. Le corps 1002 présente ainsi, pour l'extrémité de chaque barre 106a-b, un moyen de guidage assurant un déplacement en translation de la barre 106a-b perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal 10 selon la direction de translation 60. Chaque moyen de guidage prend la forme d'une fente 812a-b que l'extrémité de la barre 106a-b traverse et dans laquelle elle glisse.The translational function perpendicular to the longitudinal axis is therefore now ensured by the body 1002. The body 1002 thus has, for the end of each bar 106a-b, a guide means ensuring a displacement in translation of the bar 106a- b perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 10 in the direction of translation 60. Each guide means takes the form of a slot 812a-b which the end of the bar 106a-b crosses and in which it slides.

La fonction de serrage, assurée précédemment par les fentes 112a-b du coulisseau 102, est maintenant assurée par des rainures 813a-b du corps 1004. La position et la forme des rainures 813a-b sont similaires à celles des fentes 112a-b précédemment décrites. C'est-à-dire que les deux rainures 813a-b associées à la même barre 106a-b sont parallèles et chacune est inscrite dans un plan de serrage parallèle à l'axe longitudinal 10 et les deux plans de serrage sont disposés de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal 10. Deux des rainures 813a-b associées à des barres 106a-b différentes sont disposées dans un des plans de serrage et les deux autres rainures 813a-b sont disposées dans l'autre plan de serrage. Les deux rainures 813a-b qui sont disposées dans un même plan de serrage sont disposées en V où la pointe est orientée vers les ouvertures 150 et 152 (ici vers le bas), c'est-à-dire vers le robinet 50 avant son introduction, et les extrémités écartées sont orientées du côté opposé (ici vers le haut). La disposition en V permet de créer un phénomène de coin qui serre le robinet 50.The clamping function, previously provided by the slots 112a-b of the slide 102, is now provided by grooves 813a-b of the body 1004. The position and shape of the grooves 813a-b are similar to those of the slots 112a-b previously described. That is to say that the two grooves 813a-b associated with the same bar 106a-b are parallel and each is inscribed in a clamping plane parallel to the longitudinal axis 10 and the two clamping planes are arranged apart and other of the longitudinal axis 10. Two of the grooves 813a-b associated with different bars 106a-b are arranged in one of the clamping planes and the other two grooves 813a-b are arranged in the other clamping plane. The two grooves 813a-b which are arranged in the same clamping plane are arranged in a V where the point is oriented towards the openings 150 and 152 (here downwards), that is to say towards the tap 50 before its introduction, and the ends apart are oriented on the opposite side (here upwards). The V-shaped arrangement makes it possible to create a wedge phenomenon which tightens the tap 50.

Pour des facilités de mise en œuvre, les points d'appui 806, 808 de l'élément de rappel 402 ont été inversés entre le corps 1004 et le coulisseau 1002.For ease of implementation, the support points 806, 808 of the return element 402 have been reversed between the body 1004 and the slide 1002.

Le fonctionnement de l'adaptateur 100 est identique, sauf en ce que lors de la mise en place sur un robinet 50, les barres 106a-b se resserrent sous l'effet combiné des rainures 813a-b qui restent globalement immobiles et des fentes 812a-b qui se relèvent.The operation of the adapter 100 is identical, except that when it is placed on a tap 50, the bars 106a-b tighten under the combined effect of the grooves 813a-b which remain generally stationary and the slots 812a -b who get up.

Ainsi, d'une manière générale, l'adaptateur 100, 1000 comprend des moyens combinés de déplacement qui sont répartis entre le coulisseau 102, 1002 et le corps 104, 1004, et qui comprennent, pour l'extrémité de chaque barre 106a-b, un premier moyen qui assure un déplacement de l'extrémité perpendiculairement à l'axe longitudinal 10 selon la direction de translation 60, et, pour chaque barre 106a-b, un deuxième moyen qui assure un déplacement en biais de la barre 106a-b, où les deux biais sont orientés en V avec la pointe orientée vers les ouvertures 150, 152 et les extrémités écartées orientées du côté opposé, c'est-à-dire vers la vis 108.Thus, in general, the adapter 100, 1000 comprises combined displacement means which are distributed between the slide 102, 1002 and the body 104, 1004, and which comprise, for the end of each bar 106a-b , a first means which ensures a displacement of the end perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 10 in the direction of translation 60, and, for each bar 106a-b, a second means which ensures a bias movement of the bar 106a-b , where the two biases are oriented in V with the point oriented towards the openings 150, 152 and the separated ends oriented on the opposite side, that is to say towards the screw 108.

Dans le premier mode de réalisation des Figs. 1 à 7, chaque premier moyen est agencé dans le corps 104 et prend la forme d'une rainure 602 dans laquelle l'extrémité de ladite barre 106a-b glisse, et chaque deuxième moyen est agencé dans le coulisseau 102 et prend la forme d'une fente 112a-b.In the first embodiment of the Figs. 1 to 7 , each first means is arranged in the body 104 and takes the form of a groove 602 in which the end of said bar 106a-b slides, and each second means is arranged in the slide 102 and takes the form of a slot 112a-b.

Dans le deuxième mode de réalisation des Figs. 8 à 10, chaque premier moyen est agencé dans le coulisseau 1002 et prend la forme d'une fente 812a-b que l'extrémité de la barre 106a-b traverse et dans laquelle elle glisse, et chaque deuxième moyen est agencé dans le corps 1004 et prend la forme d'une rainure 813a-b.In the second embodiment of the Figs. 8 to 10 , each first means is arranged in the slide 1002 and takes the form of a slot 812a-b which the end of the bar 106a-b crosses and into which it slides, and each second means is arranged in the body 1004 and takes the shape of a groove 813a-b.

En outre, comme précisé ci-dessus, l'écrou a été transféré du coulisseau sur le corps. A cette fin, le coulisseau 1002 a été raccourci pour s'arrêter sous la vis 108 et le corps 1004 a été resserré pour venir coopérer avec le filetage de la vis 108 à travers l'écrou 1110.In addition, as stated above, the nut has been transferred from the slider to the body. To this end, the slide 1002 has been shortened to stop under the screw 108 and the body 1004 has been tightened to cooperate with the thread of the screw 108 through the nut 1110.

La mise en place de l'adaptateur 1000 est similaire à celle de l'adaptateur 100 précédemment décrit sauf en ce que le serrage de la vis 108 déplace le corps 1004 et donc les rainures 813a-b pour déplacer les barres 106a-b le long des fentes 112a-b pour les serrer ou les desserrer.The installation of the adapter 1000 is similar to that of the adapter 100 previously described except that the tightening of the screw 108 displaces the body 1004 and therefore the grooves 813a-b to move the bars 106a-b along slots 112a-b to tighten or loosen them.

Les barres 106a-b présentent ici des sections rectangulaires, mais elles pourraient présenter des sections circulaires.The bars 106a-b here have rectangular sections, but they could have circular sections.

D'une manière générale, l'adaptateur 100, 1000 comprend

  • un corps 104, 1004 présentant une ouverture 152,
  • un coulisseau 102, 1002 présentant une ouverture 150 coaxiale avec l'axe longitudinal 10 et monté mobile en translation sur le corps 104, 1004 parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal 10 entre une position proche où le coulisseau 102, 1002 se rapproche de l'ouverture 152 du corps 104, 1004 et une position éloignée où le coulisseau 102, 1002 s'éloigne de l'ouverture 152 du corps 104, 1004,
  • deux barres 106a-b parallèles et disposées de part et d'autre de l'axe longitudinal 10,
  • un élément de rappel 402 qui contraint le coulisseau 102, 1002 en position éloignée, et
  • une vis 108 avec un alésage central 114.
Generally, the adapter 100, 1000 includes
  • a body 104, 1004 having an opening 152,
  • a slider 102, 1002 having an opening 150 coaxial with the longitudinal axis 10 and mounted movable in translation on the body 104, 1004 parallel to the longitudinal axis 10 between a close position where the slider 102, 1002 approaches the opening 152 of the body 104, 1004 and a distant position where the slide 102, 1002 moves away from the opening 152 of the body 104, 1004,
  • two parallel bars 106a-b and arranged on either side of the longitudinal axis 10,
  • a return element 402 which constrains the slide 102, 1002 in the remote position, and
  • a screw 108 with a central bore 114.

L'adaptateur 100, 1000 comprend donc en outre des moyens combinés de déplacement décrits ci-dessus, un écrou 110, 1110 coaxial avec l'axe longitudinal 10 et qui est prévu pour coopérer avec la vis 108 et qui est solidaire soit du corps 1004, soit du coulisseau 102.The adapter 100, 1000 therefore further comprises combined displacement means described above, a nut 110, 1110 coaxial with the longitudinal axis 10 and which is designed to cooperate with the screw 108 and which is integral with either the body 1004 , or slide 102.

Bien sûr quels que soient les modes de réalisation, le coulisseau 102, 1002 peut présenter avantageusement les deux bavettes 116a-b souples décrites ci-dessus, et l'adaptateur 100, 1000 présente la tige complémentaire 120 décrite ci-dessus.Of course, whatever the embodiments, the slider 102, 1002 can advantageously have the two flexible flaps 116a-b described above, and the adapter 100, 1000 has the complementary rod 120 described above.
