La bouteille 1 de fluide sous pression illustrée, notamment de gaz sous pression, comprend classiquement un robinet 2 abritant un circuit 5 de fluide comprenant au moins une vanne 3. Le robinet 2 peut par exemple être vissé dans un orifice taraudé de la bouteille 1.The illustrated pressurized fluid bottle 1, in particular of pressurized gas, conventionally comprises a
Bien entendu, ce mode de réalisation n'est pas limitatif. Le robinet 2 pourrait être raccordé selon d'autres modes à une ou plusieurs bouteilles et notamment à un cadre de bouteilles.Of course, this embodiment is not limiting. The
La vanne 3 est par exemple une vanne d'isolation commandée manuellement ou automatiquement notamment via un volant ou levier ou via un pousse-clapet d'un organe (un robinet distinct) qui se raccorde au robinet 2 solidaire de la bouteille 1 de façon amovible.The
Le circuit 5 fluidique interne du robinet 2 s'étend de préférence entre une extrémité amont communiquant avec le volume de stockage de la bouteille 1 (à la pression de stockage de la bouteille 1) et une extrémité aval débouchant au niveau d'un raccord de sortie, notamment un raccord de soutirage et éventuellement de remplissage. Les extrémités amont et aval peuvent être situées sur une direction longitudinale verticale lorsque la bouteille 1 et le robinet 2 sont en position verticale d'utilisation.The internal
Le circuit 5 peut notamment comporter une vanne (clapet) d'isolation 3 et éventuellement un clapet pare-poussière (non représenté) disposé au niveau de l'extrémité aval terminale. A ce titre, on pourra se référer par exemple de façon non limitative à la structure du robinet décrit dans le document
La bouteille 1 comporte un dispositif indicateur de pression comprenant au moins un piston 4 sensible à la pression dans la bouteille 1 et mobile relativement au corps du robinet 2 selon le niveau de pression dans la bouteille 1.The bottle 1 comprises a pressure indicator device comprising at least one
Le piston 4 est de préférence monté dans le corps du robinet 2, par exemple transversalement à l'axe longitudinal vertical du robinet 2 et de la bouteille 1. Le piston 4 est mobile par rapport au robinet 2 entre au moins une première position rétractée et une seconde position déployée.The
Le piston 4 est par exemple mobile en translation. Classiquement, le piston 4 peut comprendre une première extrémité en communication avec le circuit 5 fluidique du robinet 2 (en amont du clapet 3 d'isolation) et une seconde extrémité orientée vers l'extérieur du robinet 2.The
Ainsi, plus la pression dans la bouteille 1 est élevée, plus le piston 4 fait saillie vers l'extérieur du corps du robinet 2 jusqu'à une position limite (position déployée) et inversement lorsque la pression chute le piston 4 se rétracte dans son logement dans le corps du robinet 2.Thus, the higher the pressure in the bottle 1, the more the
De plus, le dispositif indicateur de pression comprend au moins un support 6 d'information mobile destiné à coopérer mécaniquement avec le piston 4 dans au moins une position. Le support 6 d'information est mobile, par exemple en translation, entre au moins deux positions ou états distincts pour symboliser respectivement au moins deux niveaux de pression selon la position du piston 4 par rapport au robinet 2.In addition, the pressure indicator device comprises at least one
Le support 6 d'information peut comprendre par exemple un manchon, par exemple de forme générale cylindrique, monté mobile (coulissement vertical selon une direction parallèle à l'axe vertical de la bouteille). Par exemple, le support 6 d'information peut être mobile par rapport à un support 11 monté fixe sur le corps du robinet 2. Ce support 11 peut avantageusement guider le déplacement du support 6 d'information (par exemple en translation).The
A cet effet, le support 6 d'information peut comprendre une face externe munie d'une information visuelle comprenant au moins parmi: une zone d'une ou plusieurs couleur(s) ou teinte(s) (rouge/jaune/vert) et/ou un ou des symboles alfa-numériques. De cette façon, l'information visuelle peut être exposée ou non selon la position du au moins un support 6 par rapport au robinet 2 ou par rapport à un éventuel chapeau.To this end, the
Le support 6 d'information est par exemple mobile en translation selon une direction parallèle à l'axe longitudinal vertical de la bouteille 1. La bouteille 1 peut être munie d'un chapeau de protection du robinet 2. Le chapeau peut comprendre classiquement une structure rigide délimitant un volume de protection autour du robinet (paroi(s) rigide(s) ajourées ou non) .The
Le chapeau peut comprendre au moins une ouverture sur sa périphérie formant une fenêtre de visualisation de la position ou de l'état du support 6 d'information.The cap may include at least one opening on its periphery forming a window for viewing the position or the state of the
Le support 6 d'information peut être par exemple visible au travers d'une ouverture selon une direction de visualisation, notamment une direction de visualisation qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe vertical de la bouteille 1 (en position verticale d'utilisation de la bouteille).The
Par exemple, le support 6 d'information est mobile relativement au robinet 2 et à la bouteille 1 entre au moins une première position (par exemple basse) et une seconde position distincte (par exemple haute).For example, the
Le support 6 d'information est par ailleurs sollicité vers sa seconde position via un organe de rappel 7 (notamment un ressort).The
De préférence, l'organe 7 de rappel agit directement (ou via une pièce intermédiaire, par exemple via le support 11) sur le support 6 d'information pour le déplacer vers sa seconde position. Cet organe 7 de rappel agit de préférence uniquement sur le support 6 d'information mobile et pas sur le piston 4. Contrairement à l'agencement de l'art antérieur, le piston 4 n'agit pas directement sur le support 6 d'information mais via une butée 8 mobile qui est une pièce intermédiaire distincte du piston 4 et du support 6 d'information. Cette butée 8 mobile est disposée entre le piston 4 et le support 6 d'information.Preferably, the
La butée 8 mobile est déplaçable entre une position de blocage empêchant le déplacement du support 6 d'information de sa première position ([
Comme illustré, la butée 8 mobile peut être une pièce montée mobile en translation sur le robinet 2 selon une direction parallèle la direction de déplacement du piston 4 (transversale à l'axe longitudinal vertical de la bouteille 1 et du robinet 2) .As illustrated, the
Comme visible à la [
Comme schématisé à la [
Cette butée 8 mobile comprend de préférence une première extrémité coopérant avec le piston 4 et une seconde extrémité coopérant avec un organe 9 de rappel. Cet organe 9 de rappel de la butée 8 mobile génère un effort sur la seconde extrémité de la butée 8 mobile qui est transmis au piston 4 via la première extrémité de la butée mobile et pour solliciter le piston 4 vers sa position rétractée. Comme illustré, l'organe 9 de rappel de la butée 8 mobile comprend par exemple un ressort de compression mis en pression entre le corps du robinet 2 et la seconde extrémité de la butée 8 mobile.This
Comme illustré à la [
Ainsi, comme visible à la [
Cet organe 9 de rappel de la butée 8 mobile peut être l'unique organe de rappel qui sollicite le piston 4 vers sa première position rétractée.This
Ainsi, comme illustré, cet organe 9 de rappel du piston 4 vers sa première position rétractée peut être disposé à l'extérieur du corps du robinet 2. C'est-à-dire que cet organe 9 de rappel peut être facilement accessible à l'extérieur au lieu d'être encapsulé ou monté dans le corps du robinet 2 comme selon la solution de l'art antérieur. Ceci permet une maintenance facilitée et notamment le changement d'organe 9 de rappel pour modifier le cas échant le tarage de l'effort sur le piston 4 en fonction par exemple de la pression de stockage de la bouteille 1.Thus, as illustrated, this
Le dispositif indicateur de pression peut ainsi utiliser un unique piston 4 et un mécanisme, fiable, simple et peu coûteux. Bien entendu plusieurs pistons pourraient être envisagés.The pressure indicator device can thus use a
De même, l'indicateur 6 de pression peut indiquer plus de deux état ou pression distincts. Ainsi, il est possible d'envisager l'affichage de trois ou plus de trois niveaux différents de pression (quatre, cinq...) selon la position du piston 4 via un ou deux support(s) 6 d'information (ou plus).Likewise, the
