Abstract

The ball-cock has a movable fireproof seat comprising a metal ring between a fixed seat and the rotary plug and spring-loaded against the latter. A rubber sealing ring is mounted on the ring. The movable (4) and stationary (8) seats are mechanically connected by an anular metal bellows (9), which both allows axial movement of the former and forms a seal between it and the stationary seat. The design is particularly suitable for handling inflammable liquids such as petroleum.

Description

Clapet à bille de type anti-incendie à siège mobile convenant psrticulièrement pour fonctionner 'a basse température
La présente invention concerne un clapet à bille de type antiincendie à siège mobile, particulièrement apte à fonctionner b basse température0
On connait ces clapets à bille de type anti-incendie, souvent utilisés dans des canalisations et des raccords pour le trans- port de produits fluides inflammables (par exemple du pétrole), qui ont la particularité de comporter, interposé entre un siège de clapet fixe et un corps de clapet sensiblement sphérique pouvant tourner sur commande autour d'un axe fixe, un "siège mobile constitué par un corps apte à se mouvoir axialement, de forme annulaire, poussé élastiquement contre le corps de clapet pour réaliser avec lui l'accouplement étanche désiré.
Fire type ball valve with movable seat particularly suitable for operating at low temperature
The present invention relates to a ball valve of the fire-fighting type with a movable seat, particularly suitable for operating at low temperature.
We know these fire type ball valves, often used in pipes and fittings for the transport of flammable fluids (for example petroleum), which have the particularity of comprising, interposed between a fixed valve seat and a substantially spherical valve body which can rotate on command about a fixed axis, a "movable seat constituted by a body capable of moving axially, of annular shape, elastically pushed against the valve body to achieve coupling therewith waterproof desired.

Ce corps mobile en translation est en général en métal et il comporte en une position en saillie axiale un joint annulaire caoutchouté qui s'engage directement, de façon étanche, avec le corps du clapet, dans des conditions de fonctionnement normalles. En cas d'incendie, le joint caoutchouté bille, mais l'étanchéité est également assurée par le contact qui se réalise alors automatiquement entre le métal du corps et le métal du siège mobile, qui avance automatiquement dans une mesure suffisante pour combler le vide laissé par le joint brûlé
Dans les clapets du type précité, l'étanchéité, également indispensable, entre le siège mobile et le siège fixe est, en général, assurée par un joint en anneau interposé entre les deux.Cela empêche pratiquement d'utiliser ces clapets à des températures basses, du fait que, dans ce cas, le joint en anneau a tendance, en devenant plus rigide, à se bloquer et à entraver ainsi le déplacement du siège mobile par rapport au siège fixe.
This body movable in translation is generally made of metal and it comprises, in an axial projecting position, a rubberized annular seal which engages directly, in leaktight manner, with the body of the valve, under normal operating conditions. In the event of a fire, the rubberized ball joint, but sealing is also ensured by the contact which then takes place automatically between the metal of the body and the metal of the movable seat, which automatically advances to a sufficient extent to fill the vacuum left by the burnt joint
In valves of the aforementioned type, the seal, also essential, between the mobile seat and the fixed seat is generally ensured by a ring seal interposed between the two. This practically prevents these valves from being used at low temperatures. , due to the fact that, in this case, the ring seal tends, by becoming more rigid, to become blocked and thus to impede the movement of the movable seat relative to the fixed seat.

L'invention a pour objet un clapet-à bille du type précité, dans lequel l'étanchéité entre siège mobile et siège fixe soit obtenue par un moyen perfectionné permettant un fonctionnement parfait du clapet et, notamment, un déplacement parfait du siège mobile par rapport au siège fixe, même dans le cas d'un fonctionnement à basse température0
On atteint cet objectif, selon l'invention,- au moyen d'un clapet à bille de type anti-incendie,, comprenant un siège de clapet fixe, un corps de clapet sensiblement sphérique pouvant tourner sur commande autour d'un axe fixe et un siège mobile interposé entre le siège fixe et le corps de clapet et constitué par un corps métallique annulaire mobile en translation, poussé axiale ment contre le corps du clapet pour s'engager avec lui de façon étanche par l'intermédiaire d'un joint annulaire caoutchouté porté par ledit corps mobile en translation, caractérisé en ce que le siège mobile et le siège fixe sont reliés mécaniquement entre eux par un soufflet métallique annulaire propre à permettre le déplacement axial du siège mobile et, en même temps, à réaliser l'étanchéité entre siège mobile et siège fixe.
The subject of the invention is a ball valve of the aforementioned type, in which the seal between the mobile seat and the fixed seat is obtained by an improved means allowing perfect operation of the valve and, in particular, perfect movement of the mobile seat relative to fixed seat, even when operating at low temperature0
This objective is achieved, according to the invention, - by means of a fire-type ball valve, comprising a fixed valve seat, a substantially spherical valve body which can rotate on command around a fixed axis and a movable seat interposed between the fixed seat and the valve body and constituted by an annular metallic body movable in translation, pushed axially against the valve body to engage with it in leaktight manner via an annular seal rubberized carried by said movable body in translation, characterized in that the movable seat and the fixed seat are mechanically connected together by an annular metal bellows suitable for allowing the axial displacement of the movable seat and, at the same time, for sealing between mobile seat and fixed seat.

Il est clair qu'un soufflet de ce type non seulement garantit une étanchéité parfaite entre siège mobile et siège fixe, nais il supprime de façon sûre le risque que le siège mobile soit entravé en cas de fonctionnement à basse température0 D'autre part, sa constitution métallique est parfaitement adaptée aux caractéristiques ignifuges ou, comme on a coutume de dire, "anti-incendie" du clapet dans son ensemble.It is clear that a bellows of this type not only guarantees a perfect seal between the mobile seat and the fixed seat, but it surely eliminates the risk that the mobile seat will be obstructed in the event of operation at low temperature. metallic structure is perfectly suited to the fire-retardant or, as we used to say, "fire-resistant" characteristics of the valve as a whole.

Les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront encore davantage de la description détaillée qui va suivre de ltune de ses formes de réalisation, non limitative, représentée en coupe axiale dans la figure unique du dessin annexé.The characteristics of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description which follows of one of its non-limiting embodiments, shown in axial section in the single figure of the appended drawing.

Le clapet représenté sur le dessin comprend un corps métallique sphérique 1 qui est inséré dans lé passage intérieur 2 d'une canalisation ou raccord pour canalisations 3, de façon à pouvoir tourner sur commande autour d'un axe fixe (par exemple l'axe vertical) pour fermer et respectivement ouvrir ledit passage.The valve shown in the drawing comprises a spherical metal body 1 which is inserted into the interior passage 2 of a pipe or fitting for pipes 3, so that it can rotate on command around a fixed axis (for example the vertical axis ) to close and respectively open said passage.

Avec le corps de clapet t coopère un siège mobile 4 formé par un corps annulaire métallique mobile axialement en translation 5 duquel fait saillie vers le corps 1 un joint annulaire caoutchouté 6. Un ressort à godet 7 est inséré entre le siège mobile 4 et un siège fixe 8, et il pousse élastiquement le siège mobile 4 vers le corps de clapet 1 pour réaliser entre ces derniers l'accouplement étanche nécessaire, par l'intermédiaire du joint caoutchouté 6. Un soufflet métallique 9 relie mécaniquement le siège mobile 4 au siège fixe 8 de façon à permettre le déplacement axial du siège mobile tout en réalisant l'étanchéité entre le siège mobile et le siège fixe.With the valve body t cooperates a movable seat 4 formed by a metallic annular body movable axially in translation 5 from which protrudes towards the body 1 a rubberized annular seal 6. A bucket spring 7 is inserted between the movable seat 4 and a seat fixed 8, and it elastically pushes the movable seat 4 towards the valve body 1 to achieve between them the necessary tight coupling, by means of the rubberized seal 6. A metal bellows 9 mechanically connects the movable seat 4 to the fixed seat 8 so as to allow the axial displacement of the mobile seat while achieving sealing between the mobile seat and the fixed seat.

En cas d'incendie, le joint caoutchouté 6 brûle, mais l'étanchéité entre le siège mobile et le corps de clapet est également assurée par le contact métal-métal qui, sous la poussée du ressort 7 et grâce au soufflet 9, se réalise alors automatiquement entre le corps de clapet 1 et la face annulaire évasée 10 du corps métallique du siège mobile 4. In the event of a fire, the rubber seal 6 burns, but the seal between the movable seat and the valve body is also ensured by the metal-metal contact which, under the pressure of the spring 7 and thanks to the bellows 9, is achieved. then automatically between the valve body 1 and the flared annular face 10 of the metal body of the movable seat 4.
