Description

La présente invention concerne un système d'allumage à distance d'un dispositif à foyer fermé et le procédé d'allumage associé.The present invention relates to a remote ignition system for a closed hearth device and the associated ignition method.

On entend par dispositif à foyer fermé, tout générateur de chaleur dont le foyer de combustion est disposé dans un espace fermé, non limitativement de type poêle à bois, insert de cheminée ou analogue.The term “closed hearth device” is understood to mean any heat generator whose combustion hearth is arranged in a closed space, not limited to wood stove type, fireplace insert or the like.

D'une manière générale, l'allumage des dispositifs à foyer fermé utilisant le bois nécessite une intervention manuelle. De plus, le combustible ne peut être allumé qu'en présence de l'utilisateur. Ainsi, après une absence, l'utilisateur doit mettre le générateur de chaleur en fonctionnement dès son retour et attendre, parfois relativement longtemps, que la chaleur s'installe.In general, the ignition of closed hearth devices using wood requires manual intervention. In addition, the fuel can only be ignited in the presence of the user. Thus, after an absence, the user must put the heat generator into operation as soon as he returns and wait, sometimes for a relatively long time, for the heat to set in.

On connait déjà des systèmes d'allumage permettant l'allumage automatique, différé et à distance de dispositifs à foyer fermé. Par exemple, dans le document FR2811065 A3 , on a décrit un système qui provoque la mise à feu quelques heures avant que les occupants des lieux ne rentrent, de façon à ce que la température soit haute quand ils arrivent. Le système de mise à feu comprend une horloge électrique qui commande un transformateur 220/12 volts, lequel alimente une résistance chauffante permettant d'allumer cinq allumettes à la fois, celles-ci transmettant ainsi leur flamme au papier du foyer fermé qui a été préparé par l'utilisateur avant son départ. Les allumettes sont maintenues en position d'allumage par un support fixé sur la paroi du foyer fermé.Ignition systems are already known which allow automatic, delayed and remote ignition of closed hearth devices. For example, in the document FR2811065 A3 , a system has been described which causes the ignition a few hours before the occupants of the premises enter, so that the temperature is high when they arrive. The firing system comprises an electric clock which controls a 220/12 volt transformer, which feeds a heating resistance allowing to light five matches at a time, these thus transmitting their flame to the paper of the closed hearth which has been prepared. by the user before his departure. The matches are held in the ignition position by a support fixed to the wall of the closed hearth.

La fixation du support d'allumettes a l'inconvénient d'engendrer des modifications à apporter au dispositif à foyer fermé. De plus, la résistance chauffante est relativement chère à fabriquer, et en outre située dans une position difficile d'entretien.The fixing of the match holder has the drawback of causing modifications to be made to the closed hearth device. In addition, the heating resistor is relatively expensive to manufacture, and furthermore located in a difficult maintenance position.

On connait aussi le document FR2713748 , qui enseigne un système d'allumage à distance comprenant des moyens électriques produisant de la chaleur tel qu'une résistance chauffante et aptes à provoquer l'inflammation d'une charge d'allumage préalablement placée dans la zone d'allumage.We also know the document FR2713748 , which teaches a remote ignition system comprising electrical means for generating heat such as a heating resistor and capable of causing the ignition of an ignition charge previously placed in the ignition zone.

Un tel dispositif a l'inconvénient de placer la résistance chauffante en partie basse du foyer, ce qui interdit la combustion inversée, moins polluante, et limite l'autonomie de combustion pour une quantité de combustible donnée. La encore, la résistance chauffante est relativement chère à fabriquer. Enfin un tel dispositif de l'art antérieur est relativement complexe, cher à fabriquer, consomme énormément d'énergie électrique, et ne permet pas une combustion régulée et peu polluante.Such a device has the drawback of placing the heating resistor in the lower part of the fireplace, which prohibits reverse combustion, which is less polluting, and limits the combustion autonomy for a given quantity of fuel. Again, the heating resistor is relatively expensive to manufacture. Finally, such a device of the prior art is relatively complex, expensive to manufacture, consumes a great deal of electrical energy, and does not allow controlled combustion that does not pollute much.

On connait aussi le document US3615287A1 , qui enseigne un dispositif de mise à feu de carburant par un dispositif combustible traversé par un courant électrique, et dont la mise à feu orientée par une chambre permet d'orienter la flamme vers le combustible à mettre à feu.We also know the document US3615287A1 , which teaches a device for igniting fuel by a fuel device through which an electric current flows, and whose ignition directed by a chamber allows the flame to be directed towards the fuel to be ignited.

Un tel dispositif ne dispose pas de propriétés permettant de garantir la sécurité incendie du matériel de mise à feu dans un foyer à bois fermé.Such a device does not have properties making it possible to guarantee the fire safety of the firing equipment in a closed wood-burning hearth.

De plus, les systèmes d'allumage de l'art antérieur sont intégrés dans les dispositifs à foyers fermés associés, et ne sont pas adaptables à tout dispositif à foyer fermé.In addition, the ignition systems of the prior art are integrated into the associated closed hearth devices, and are not adaptable to any closed hearth device.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un système d'allumage à distance, simple d'utilisation, écologique et adaptable à tout dispositif à foyer fermé, sans aucune modification à apporter aux dispositifs à foyer fermé tout en respectant les mesures de sécurité imposées à ces derniers malgré l'absence de l'utilisateur, évitant ainsi les exclusions de garantie des assurances.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a remote ignition system, easy to use, ecological and adaptable to any closed hearth device, without any modification to be made to closed hearth devices while respecting the requirements. security measures imposed on them despite the absence of the user, thus avoiding exclusions from insurance guarantees.
