The body 2 is equipped with a mechanical device 12, 14 for centripetally pushing the guard seal (safety seal) 70 towards its seat 8 on the disc-shaped flap (lens) 1 of the butterfly valve.

Description

VANNE-PAPILLON A DOUBLE ETANCHEITE
La présente invention se rapporte à une vanne-papillon à double étanchéité plus spécialement destinée à obturer une conduite hydraulique telle qu'une conduite équipant une installation hydroélectrique.
DOUBLE SEALED BUTTERFLY VALVE
The present invention relates to a double-sealing butterfly valve more specifically intended for closing a hydraulic pipe such as a pipe fitted to a hydroelectric installation.

Une vanne-papillon est une vanne dont l'organe d'obturation est un disque, appelé "lentille", qui peut tourner, pour ouvrir ou fermer la conduite, autour d'un axe orthogonal à celui de la conduite. Ces vannes-papillon sont largement utilisées dans les conduites alimentant les installations hydroélectriques. Elles sont de plus en plus souvent munies d'une double étanchéité, c'est-à-dire d'une part d'un joint de service assurant l'é tanchéité à la fermeture, et d'autre part d'un joint de garde, placé légèrement en amont du joint de service, et qui ne travaille que lorsque l'on désire remplacer ledit joint de service, afin d'éviter d'avoir pour cette opération à vidanger préalablement toute la conduite. A butterfly valve is a valve whose shutter member is a disc, called a "lens", which can rotate, to open or close the pipe, about an axis orthogonal to that of the pipe. These butterfly valves are widely used in pipes supplying hydroelectric installations. They are more and more often provided with a double seal, that is to say on the one hand of a service seal ensuring the seal upon closing, and on the other hand of a seal of guard, placed slightly upstream of the service seal, and which only works when it is desired to replace said service seal, in order to avoid having to empty the entire pipe for this operation.

Le joint de garde, ne devant fonctionner qu'occasionnellement, doit nécessairement être un joint rétractable, sans quoi il stuserait constamment avec le joint de service et ne pourrait plus remplir son office lors du remplacement de ce dernier. The guard seal, which should only function occasionally, must necessarily be a retractable seal, otherwise it would stuse constantly with the service seal and could no longer fulfill its function when the latter is replaced.

Un premier exemple connu de double étanchéité pour vanne-papillon à joint de garde rétractable est la double étanchéité à joint de garde gonflable schématisée sur la figure 1 annexée. A first known example of double sealing for butterfly valve with retractable guard seal is double sealing with inflatable guard seal shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1 appended.

On reconnaît sur cette figure la lentille 1 et le corps 2 d'une vanne-papillon de type connu, dont le dispositif d'étanchéité comprend - un joint de service 3, placé dans la lentille 1 face à un siège 4 en acier inoxydable et maintenu dans celle-ci par une pièce de maintien amovible 5 serrée par des vis 6, - un joint de garde gonflable 7, placé dans le corps 2 face à un siège 8 sur la lentille et alimentable en air comprimé ou en liquide de gonflage par une conduite 9. We recognize in this figure the lens 1 and the body 2 of a butterfly valve of known type, whose sealing device comprises - a service seal 3, placed in the lens 1 facing a seat 4 of stainless steel and held therein by a removable retaining piece 5 tightened by screws 6, - an inflatable guard seal 7, placed in the body 2 facing a seat 8 on the lens and supplyable with compressed air or inflation liquid by a pipe 9.

Sur le dessin, le joint 7 est représenté gonflé et est donc actif. Dégonflé, et donc inactif, il est rétracté de quelques millimètres par rapport à la position représentée. In the drawing, the seal 7 is shown inflated and is therefore active. Deflated, and therefore inactive, it is retracted a few millimeters from the position shown.

Ces dispositifs connus à joint de garde gonflable présentent l'inconvénient de nécessiter un dispositif de commande pneumatique, ou hydraulique, de gonflage du joint de garde. En cas de défaillance de ce dispositif se produisant au cours de l'opération de rechange du joint de service, il se produit une importante fuite d'eau présentant un grand danger pour les opérateurs. On court en outre le même risque en cas de crevaison du joint gonflable. These known devices with an inflatable guard seal have the drawback of requiring a pneumatic or hydraulic control device for inflating the guard seal. In the event of a failure of this device occurring during the replacement operation of the service seal, a large water leak occurs, presenting a great danger to operators. There is also the same risk in case of puncture of the inflatable seal.

Un second type classique de double étanchéité à joint de garde rétractable est représenté schématiquement sur la figure 2 annexée. Ce modèle se différencie de celui de la figure 1 par le fait que le joint de garde rétractable 7 est un joint massif de section trapèzotdale qui peut être poussé contre son siège 8 associé par une pression hydraulique appliquée par la conduite 9. A second conventional type of double seal with retractable guard seal is shown diagrammatically in the attached FIG. 2. This model differs from that of FIG. 1 by the fact that the retractable guard joint 7 is a solid joint of trapezoidal section which can be pushed against its associated seat 8 by hydraulic pressure applied by the pipe 9.

Ce second type de dispositif présente le même inconvénient que le précédent, relativement au risque de défaillance du dispositif de commande de la poussée hydraulique du joint. Il ne présente par contre pas de risque de crevaison, mais on peut estimer que sa rétraction n'est pas garantie positivement, et qu'il risque, une fois sorti, de rester coincé dans sa gaine et donc ne pas se rétracter. This second type of device has the same disadvantage as the previous one, relative to the risk of failure of the device for controlling the hydraulic thrust of the seal. On the other hand, it does not present a risk of puncture, but it can be estimated that its retraction is not guaranteed positively, and that it risks, once out, of being trapped in its sheath and therefore not retracting.

Le dispositif de double étanchéité à joint de garde rétractable pour vanne-papillon conforme à l'invention ne présente pas ces inconvénients des dispositifs connus jusqu'alors. Il est du type selon lequel le joint de garde rétractable est placé dans le corps de la vanne-papillon, et il est caractérisé en ce que ledit joint de garde est un joint élastique massif du type dit "note de musique", dont la queue est maintenue dans ledit corps de la vanne de façon que ledit joint soit normalement en position rétractée, et en ce que ledit corps est équipé d'un dispositif mécanique de poussée centripète dudit joint vers son siège sur la lentille de ladite vanne-papillon. The double sealing device with retractable guard seal for butterfly valve according to the invention does not have these drawbacks of the devices known hitherto. It is of the type according to which the retractable guard seal is placed in the body of the butterfly valve, and it is characterized in that said guard seal is a solid elastic seal of the so-called "musical note" type, the tail of which is held in said valve body so that said seal is normally in the retracted position, and in that said body is equipped with a mechanical device for centripetal thrust of said seal towards its seat on the lens of said butterfly valve.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels - la figure 1 représente schématiquement un premier type, décrit ci-dessus, de dispositif à joint de garde rétractable de l'art antérieur, - la figure 2 représente schématiquement un second type, décrit ci-dessus, de dispositif à joint de garde rétractable de l'art antérieur, - la figure 3 est une vue en coupe longitudinale schématique du dispositif de l'invention, avec son joint de garde en position rétractée, donc inactif, - la figure 4 est une vue schématique en coupe rétrécie et partielle, selon la direction AA de la figure 3, - la figure 5 est une vue en coupe longitudinale schématique du dispositif de l'invention, avec son joint de garde en position sortie, donc actif, - la figure 6 est une vue schématique en coupe rétrécie et partielle, selon la direction BB de la figure 5. The invention will be better understood with the aid of the following description of an exemplary embodiment, with reference to the appended drawings in which - FIG. 1 schematically represents a first type, described above, of device with retractable guard seal of the prior art, - Figure 2 shows schematically a second type, described above, of retractable guard seal device of the prior art, - Figure 3 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the device of the invention, with its guard seal in the retracted position, therefore inactive, - Figure 4 is a schematic view in narrowed and partial section, in the direction AA of Figure 3, - Figure 5 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view of the device of the invention, with its guard seal in the extended position, therefore active, - Figure 6 is a schematic view in narrowed and partial section, in the direction BB of Figure 5.

En se reportant tout d'abord à l'ensemble des figures 3 et 4, on reconnaît la lentille 1 de la vanne-papillon de l'invention, de corps 2, placée sur une conduite hydraulique 10 de grand diamètre (un à plusieurs mètres pour fixer les idées). Referring first to all of Figures 3 and 4, we recognize the lens 1 of the butterfly valve of the invention, body 2, placed on a hydraulic pipe 10 of large diameter (one to several meters to fix ideas).

Le joint de service 3 est fixé sur le pourtour de lalentille 1 par une pièce de maintien 5 annulaire, fixée de manière amovible par des vis 6. Lorsque la lentille 1 ferme la conduite 10, comme représenté sur le dessin, le joint de service annulaire3 vient s'appuyer contre son siège 4 constitué par un anneau en acier inoxydable intégré au corps 2 de la vanne. The service seal 3 is fixed to the periphery of the lens 1 by an annular retaining piece 5, removably fixed by screws 6. When the lens 1 closes the pipe 10, as shown in the drawing, the annular service seal 3 comes to rest against its seat 4 constituted by a stainless steel ring integrated into the body 2 of the valve.

Conformément à l'invention, le joint de garde 7 est un joint élastique dit "note de musique", disponible dans le commerce et d'une dureté choisie de l'ordre de 60 shores par exemple. Rappelons qu'un joint "note de musique" est un joint massif et annulaire dont la section a, comme représenté sur le dessin, une forme de note de musique dite "noire" sur une portée musicale, comportant une note ronde et une queue, c'est-à-dire est constitué d'un joint circulaire plein 70 prolongé latéralement par une surface annulaire quasi-plane 71. In accordance with the invention, the guard seal 7 is an elastic seal known as a "musical note", commercially available and with a selected hardness of the order of 60 shores for example. Recall that a "musical note" joint is a solid and annular joint whose section has, as shown in the drawing, a form of so-called "black" musical note on a musical staff, comprising a round note and a tail, that is to say consists of a solid circular seal 70 extended laterally by an almost planar annular surface 71.

La queue 71 du joint est maintenue fermement dans le corps 2 de la vanne à l'aide d'une plaque annulaire 11 serrée par des vis 12. The tail 71 of the seal is held firmly in the body 2 of the valve using an annular plate 11 tightened by screws 12.

Par ailleurs, des poussoirs 12 en forme de segments courbes alignés dans une rainure circulaire 13 et tenus par les extrémités de vis 14 permettent, lorsque l'on enfonce ces vis 14, de déplacer la partie ronde 70 de la "note de musique" 7 en direction centripète, jusqu'à ce qu'elle vienne s'appuyer sur son siège 8 intégré à la lentille 1. Furthermore, pushers 12 in the form of curved segments aligned in a circular groove 13 and held by the ends of screws 14 allow, when these screws 14 are driven, to move the round part 70 of the "musical note" 7 in the centripetal direction, until it comes to rest on its seat 8 integrated into the lens 1.

Les figures 5 et 6 montrent les segments 12 en position enfoncée maximale, et donc le joint 7 en position sortie assurant l'étanchéité par appui sur le siège 8. Dans cette position, il est possible de démonter, sans fuite d'eau vers l'aval, le joint de service 3 en enlevant les vis 6, puis la pièce de maintien 5.  FIGS. 5 and 6 show the segments 12 in the maximum depressed position, and therefore the seal 7 in the extended position ensuring the seal by pressing on the seat 8. In this position, it is possible to dismantle without leaking water to the 'downstream, the service seal 3 by removing the screws 6, then the retaining part 5.
