Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour obturer les canalisations et tuyauteries contenant un liquide, un gaz ou un solide pour permettre une étanchéité parfaite et l'arrêt de l'é- coulement de ces contenus ansi qu'une action de surveillance sur ces produits. The present invention relates to a device for closing the pipes and piping containing a liquid, a gas or a solid to allow perfect sealing and stopping the flow of these contents as well as monitoring action on these products.
Il est connu un dispositif pour réservoir basé sur le même principe mais ne concernant pas les canalisations et qutil n'était pas évident de transposer et d'adapter des réservoirs aux canali- sations. There is a known device for a tank based on the same principle but not relating to the pipes and that it was not easy to transpose and adapt the tanks to the pipes.
Les canalisations sont traditionnelllement obturées par des vannes dont l'installation et les emplacements sont prédéterminés. The pipes are traditionally closed by valves whose installation and locations are predetermined.
En cas de besoin au cours de l'utilisation, ces vannes sont ouvertes ou fermées et permettent ou non l'écoulement du produit.If necessary during use, these valves are open or closed and allow or not the flow of the product.
En cas d'accidenttel que rupture de canalisations, des ballons gonflables peuvent être utilisés, ils constituent alors une obturation étanche provisoire. Mais alors, il est difficile de réaliser une action sur le produit autre que ltarrêt provisoire de son écoulement. In the event of an accident such as broken pipes, inflatable balloons can be used, they then constitute a temporary watertight seal. But then, it is difficult to carry out an action on the product other than temporarily stopping its flow.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il comporte en effet un conduit protégeant de petites canalisations permettant le montage de différents dispositifs tels que des dispositifs de surveillance, d'injection ou de prélèvement de produit et autorisant ainsi des actions complémentaires à l1ar- rêt d'écoulement. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. It in fact comprises a conduit protecting small pipes allowing the mounting of different devices such as devices for monitoring, injecting or withdrawing product and thus authorizing additional actions to stop the flow.
Il assure de plus une parfaite étanchéité, car il est, lui aussi, constitué d'une matière gonflable venant adhérer aux parois circulaires des canalisations. It also provides a perfect seal, because it, too, consists of an inflatable material adhering to the circular walls of the pipes.
En fait, il s'agit d'utiliser un pneumatique dont la chambre à air montée sur une jante pleine est gonflée jusqu'a adhérence parfaite à la paroi de la canalisation garantissant ainsi l'étanchéi- té, et dont le moyeu est transformé en conduit permettant de réaliser ainsi le contact avec le produit. In fact, it is a question of using a tire whose air chamber mounted on a solid rim is inflated until it adheres perfectly to the wall of the pipe thus guaranteeing the seal, and whose hub is transformed into conduit thus making contact with the product.
Pour permettre d'augmenter la fiabilité et donc la sécurité de l'installation, les pneumatiques sont montés en série de 2 à n. To increase the reliability and therefore the safety of the installation, the tires are mounted in series from 2 to n.
L'intervalle entre deux pneumatiques est rempli d'un produit parfois de nature différente du produit canalisé, à titre d'exemple, si le produit canalisé est de liteau, le produit entre deux pneumatiques peut être de l'air.The interval between two tires is filled with a product sometimes of a different nature from the piped product, for example, if the piped product is of batten, the product between two tires can be air.
La mise sous pression différente de la pression atmosphérique du fluide de cet interespace et la surveillance de cette pression permet alors selon le principe connu de détection de fuite par variation de pression de conclure à une parfaite étanchéité si cette pression reste stable. En effet, une défaillance dans ltétanclléité de l'un quelconque des deux pneumatiques entraînerait une perte de pression si une surpression avait été réalisée dans ltinterespace ou une augmentation de pression si une dépression avait été réalisée dans l'interespace toute chose égale par ailleurs. Et donc, la fiabilité du système est d'autant plus importante que le nombre de pneus montés en série est important et palie aux défaillances éven- tuelles. The different pressurization of the atmospheric pressure of the fluid in this space and the monitoring of this pressure then makes it possible, according to the known principle of leak detection by pressure variation, to conclude that the seal is perfect if this pressure remains stable. In fact, a failure in the integrity of any one of the two tires would cause a loss of pressure if an overpressure had been produced in the inter-space or an increase in pressure if a depression had been produced in the inter-space, all other things being equal. And so, the reliability of the system is all the more important as the number of tires fitted in series is large and overcomes possible failures.
La figure 1 représente en coupe transversale, un dispositif selon l'invention présentant à titre d'exemple 3 pneumatiques montés en série. FIG. 1 shows in cross section, a device according to the invention presenting, by way of example, 3 tires mounted in series.
Dans une canalisation (1) 3 chambres à air (2) montées sur jante pleine (3) gonflées par l'intermédiaire d'une canalisation soudée (4) viennent adhérer à la paroi de la canalisation (Ij. Elles séparent alors l'intérieur de la canalisation (5) du milieu extérieur (6). L'étanchéité est assurée. Les interespaces (7) entre les pneumatiques sont alors remplis mis sous pression différente de la pression atmosphérique et surveillés par l'intermédiaire de deux canalisations (8) et (9) du conduit (10). De même, le contact avec le produit contenu dans la canalisation (1) à l'intérieur (5) de la canalisation s'opère par deux canalisations (11) et (12). Tous les dispositifs de surveillance peuvent entrer en action. Les canalisations ou en sortie (13) ou en jonction (14) sont soudées pour permettre une parfaite étanchéité. In a pipe (1) 3 air chambers (2) mounted on a full rim (3) inflated via a welded pipe (4) adhere to the wall of the pipe (Ij. They then separate the interior of the pipe (5) of the external environment (6). The sealing is ensured. The spaces (7) between the tires are then filled under pressure different from atmospheric pressure and monitored by two pipes (8). and (9) of the duct (10). Similarly, contact with the product contained in the pipe (1) inside (5) of the pipe takes place by two pipes (11) and (12). the monitoring devices can come into action.The pipes or outlet (13) or junction (14) are welded to allow a perfect seal.
L'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exmple de réalisation représenté et décrit en détail, car diverses modifications peuvent être apportées sans sortir de son cadre, notamment dans lutilisation d'un nombre différent de pneumatiques et de canalisations. The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown and described in detail, because various modifications can be made without departing from its scope, in particular in the use of a different number of tires and lines.
Outre l'intérêt que représente ce dispositif pour llobtura- tion des canalisations et tuyauteries, il trouvera de nombreuses applications dans l'industrie en tant qu'obturateur définitif de sécurité sur des containers ou réservoirs dont la surveillance du contenu pourrait être assurée tXut en empêchant la diffusion du produit vers l'extérieur. In addition to the interest that this device represents for the obturation of pipelines, it will find many applications in the industry as a final safety shutter on containers or tanks whose content monitoring could be ensured by preventing dissemination of the product to the outside.
On notera enfin, la facilité de fabrication qui peut utiliser des pneumatiques du commerce et la rapidité et la simplicité de mise en oeuvre du dispositif. On a ainsi une nouvelle utilisation originale des pneumatiques dans le domaine de l'obtura- tion. Finally, note the ease of manufacture which can use commercial tires and the speed and simplicity of implementation of the device. There is thus a new original use of tires in the field of sealing.
