Abstract

Tank with modularly alterable capacity, made of moulded plastic. It results from the assembly of modules (1) which each constitute a chamber whose casing incorporates, on two opposite faces, two assembly means, namely a male assembly means (11, 12) on one face (10) and a female assembly means (21, 22) on the opposite face (20), it being possible for the male assembly means to consist of a cylinder (11) projecting from the face (10) of the module and provided with a screw thread (12), and the female assembly means of a cylindrical reinforcement (21) made in the face (20) of the module and provided with a screw thread (22), two modules being assembled together by screwing the projecting cylinder (11) into the cylindrical reinforcement (21).

Description

ta présente invention a pour objet un nouveau type de réservoir ou cuve en matière plastique de contenance modulable, susceptible notamment d'être monté sur des véhicules automobiles pour en contenir le carburant. your present invention relates to a new type of tank or tub made of flexible plastic, capable in particular of being mounted on motor vehicles to contain the fuel.

La plupart des réservoirs ou cuves sont actuellement réalisés en métal, préférentiellement à la matière plastique, le métal permettant la réalisation de structures stables : pour obtenir une stabilité équivalente avec des matières plastiques, il est en effet nécessaire de multiplier les renforts, ce qui complique la fabrication. Most tanks or vats are currently made of metal, preferably plastic, metal allowing the achievement of stable structures: to obtain equivalent stability with plastics, it is indeed necessary to multiply the reinforcements, which complicates the making.

De plus, dans le cas de réservoirs de carburant pour véhicules automobiles, il est nécessaire, surtout quand ils sont de grande contenance, de prévoir un cloisonnement ayant la fonction de brise-lame afin d'éviter les effets de ballant, et la technique de moulage appliquée aux matières plastiques ne permet pas la réalisation de tels cloisonnements. In addition, in the case of fuel tanks for motor vehicles, it is necessary, especially when they are of large capacity, to provide a partition having the function of breakwater in order to avoid the effects of dangling, and the technique of molding applied to plastics does not allow the achievement of such partitions.

Or d'un point de vue économique, que ce soit en vue d'un gain de poids ou d'un gain de temps de fabrication, il serait tout-à-fait avantageux de pouvoir mettre en oeuvre des réservoirs en matière plastique. However, from an economic point of view, whether it is to gain weight or to save manufacturing time, it would be entirely advantageous to be able to use plastic tanks.

D'autre part, la réalisation de cuves de grande contenance en matière plastique se heurte à la difficulté créée par les limites dimensionnelles des moules et/ou des fours servant à leur fabrication. On the other hand, the production of large plastic tanks encounters the difficulty created by the dimensional limits of the molds and / or the ovens used for their manufacture.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant un réservoir réalisé en matière plastique, de contenance modulable, résultant de l'assemblage de plusieurs modules de matière plastique susceptibles ou non de communiquer entre eux. The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a tank made of plastic material, of modular capacity, resulting from the assembly of several plastic modules capable of communicating with each other or not.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, le réservoir qui en fait l'objet résulte de l'assemblage de plusieurs modules comportant deux faces opposées d'assemblage, dont l'une comprend un moyen d'assemblage mâle et l'autre un moyen d'assemblage femelle, chacun de ces modules constituant une enceinte. According to a first embodiment of the invention, the reservoir which is the subject thereof results from the assembly of several modules comprising two opposite assembly faces, one of which comprises a male assembly means and the other a female assembly means, each of these modules constituting an enclosure.

Conformément à l'invention, ces moyens d'assemblage sont réalisés lors de la fabrication des modules7 et sont formés dans leur enveloppe. Ils peuvent consister soit en un simple emmanchement, soit en un filetage soit en un système à baïonnette, l'assemblage d'un module à un autre s'effectuant alors par rotation. In accordance with the invention, these assembly means are produced during the manufacture of the modules 7 and are formed in their envelope. They can consist either of a simple fitting, or of a threading or a bayonet system, the assembly of a module to another then being effected by rotation.

Les différents modules du réservoir ainsi constitué peuvent communiquer entre eux au niveau de leurs moyens d'assemblage, grâce à un perçage approprié, ou encore par des conduites extérieures, mais ils peuvent aussi ne pas communiquer entre eux, auquel cas le réservoir permet de stocker des liquides différents dans une même structure. The various modules of the reservoir thus formed can communicate with each other at the level of their assembly means, by means of an appropriate drilling, or even by external pipes, but they can also not communicate with each other, in which case the reservoir makes it possible to store different liquids in the same structure.

D'autre part les moyens d'assemblage des modules du réservoir selon l'invention peuvent être associés à un moyen d'assemblage complémentaire constitué par exemple par un deuxième filetage réalisé d'une part sur un moyen d'assemblage mâle ménagé au centre du moyen d'assemblage femelle du module, et d'autre part sur un moyen d'assemblage femelle ménagé au centre du moyen d'assemblage mâle du module. On the other hand, the means for assembling the modules of the tank according to the invention can be associated with a complementary assembly means constituted for example by a second thread produced on the one hand on a male assembly means provided in the center female assembly means of the module, and on the other hand on a female assembly means arranged in the center of the male assembly means of the module.

La présente invention permet ainsi de réaliser des réservoirs en matière plastique cloisonnés et de contenance variable, en modifiant le nombre de modules assemblés, la fabrication d'un tel réservoir nécessitant la réalisation d'un seul moule, en sorte qu'un fabricant de réservoirs n'aura plus à détenir en stock qu'un certain nombre de modules identiques qu'il assemblera à la demande. The present invention thus makes it possible to produce partitioned plastic tanks of variable capacity, by modifying the number of modules assembled, the manufacture of such a tank necessitating the production of a single mold, so that a manufacturer of tanks will only have to keep in stock a certain number of identical modules which it will assemble on request.

Bien entendu le réservoir ainsi constitué peut comporter tous les moyens nécessaires à son remplissage et à sa vidange, ces moyens pouvant être individuels lorsque les modules ne communiquent pas entre eux, ou équiper seulement un ou deux des modules, lorsque ces derniers communiquent entre eux. Of course the reservoir thus formed may include all the means necessary for its filling and emptying, these means can be individual when the modules do not communicate with each other, or equip only one or two of the modules, when the latter communicate with each other.

Dans le cas où le réservoir selon l'invention doit être mis en oeuvre pour contenir des carburants de véhicules automobiles, il peut en outre être relié à un circuit de mise à l'air. In the case where the tank according to the invention must be used to contain motor vehicle fuels, it can also be connected to a venting circuit.

Dans un second mode de réalisation de l'invention, le réservoir qui en fait l'objet comprend deux modules d'extrémités entre lesquels et auxquels sont assemblés un ou plusieurs modules intermédiaires, ces modules extrêmes et intermédiaires constituant chacun une enceinte. In a second embodiment of the invention, the reservoir which is the subject thereof comprises two end modules between which and to which are assembled one or more intermediate modules, these end and intermediate modules each constituting an enclosure.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, chaque module intermédiaire comporte deux faces opposées d'assemblage avec un module intermédiaire ou extrême, une de ces faces comportant un moyen d'assemblage mâle, tandis que l'autre face comporte un moyen d'assemblage femelle. In this embodiment, each intermediate module comprises two opposite assembly faces with an intermediate or extreme module, one of these faces comprising a male assembly means, while the other face comprises a female assembly means.

Les modules extrêmes présentent une seule face d'assemblage, l'un d'eux comportant sur cette face un moyen d'assemblage mâle, tandis que l'autre comporte un moyen d'assemblage femelle, les autres caractéristiques de ces modules étant identiques à celles des modules mis en oeuvre dans le premier mode de réalisation de l'invention. The extreme modules have a single assembly face, one of them comprising on this face a male assembly means, while the other comprises a female assembly means, the other characteristics of these modules being identical to those of the modules used in the first embodiment of the invention.

Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'invention permet de réaliser des réservoirs en matière plastique cloisonnés et de contenance variable, en modifiant le nombre de modules intermédiaires, la fabrication de tels réservoirs nécessitant la réalisation de seulement trois moules, un moule pour les modules intermédiaires, et un moule pour chaque module extrême. In this embodiment, the invention makes it possible to produce partitioned plastic tanks of variable capacity, by modifying the number of intermediate modules, the manufacture of such tanks requiring the production of only three molds, a mold for the intermediate modules. , and a mold for each extreme module.

Il en résulte qu'un fabricant de réservoirs n' aura plus à détenir en stock que des modules intermédiaires et extrêmes qu'il assemblera à la demande. As a result, a tank manufacturer will no longer have to stock only intermediate and extreme modules which it will assemble on demand.

Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se rapporte au dessin annexé, lequel en représente différents modes de réalisation non limitatifs. The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which refers to the appended drawing, which represents various non-limiting embodiments.

- la figure 3 représente une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un mode de réalisation d'un réservoir selon l'invention destiné à contenir un carburant de véhicule automobile. - Figure 3 shows a longitudinal sectional view of an embodiment of a tank according to the invention intended to contain a motor vehicle fuel.

Si on se réfère d'abord à la figure 1, on voit sur cette figure trois modules identiques 1 comportant chacun, sur deux faces opposées 10 et 20, un moyen d'assemblage mâle ou femelle moulé dans l'enveloppe des modules, le moyen d'assemblage femelle, réalisé sur la face 20, étant constitué d'un renfoncement cylindrique 21 muni d'un filetage femelle 22, tandis que le moyen d'assemblage mâle réalisé sur la face 10 du module est un cylindre 11, saillant de ladite face 10, et muni d'un filetage mâle 12 correspondant au filetage femelle 22 de la face 20.  If we refer first to Figure 1, we see in this figure three identical modules 1 each comprising, on two opposite faces 10 and 20, a male or female assembly means molded in the casing of the modules, the means female assembly, produced on the face 20, consisting of a cylindrical recess 21 provided with a female thread 22, while the male assembly means produced on the face 10 of the module is a cylinder 11, projecting from said face 10, and provided with a male thread 12 corresponding to the female thread 22 of the face 20.

Si on se réfère maintenant à la figure 2 on voit que pour faire varier la contenance du réservoir il suffit de modifier le nombre de modules 1, qui sont en l'occurence au nombre de quatre, chacun comportant un moyen d'assemblage mâle (11, 12) et un moyen d'assemblage femelle (21, 22). If we now refer to FIG. 2 we see that to vary the capacity of the tank it suffices to modify the number of modules 1, which in this case are four in number, each comprising a male assembly means (11 , 12) and a female assembly means (21, 22).

Si on se réfère enfin à la figure 3, on voit sur cette figure un réservoir pour carburant destiné à être monté sur un véhicule automobile, et constitué de deux modules intermédiaires 1 et de deux modules extrêmes 2 et 3 munis, l'un d'un seul moyen d'assemblage femelle (21, 22), et l'autre d'un seul moyen d'assemblage mâle (11, 12). If we finally refer to Figure 3, we see in this figure a fuel tank intended to be mounted on a motor vehicle, and consisting of two intermediate modules 1 and two end modules 2 and 3 provided, one of one means of female assembly (21, 22), and the other of a single means of male assembly (11, 12).

Dans cette réalisation, les moyens d'assemblage comportent chacun un moyen d'assemblage complémentaire constitué d'une part d'un renfoncement cylindrique fileté 13 pratiqué au centre du cylindre 11, et d'autre part d'un cylindre fileté 23 saillant du milieu du renfoncement cylindrique 21, le vissage du cylindre 11 dans le renfoncement cylindrique 21 entraînant le vissage simultané du cylindre 23 du module extrême 2 dans le renfoncement cylindrique 13 du module intermédiaire 1. In this embodiment, the assembly means each comprise a complementary assembly means consisting on the one hand of a threaded cylindrical recess 13 formed in the center of the cylinder 11, and on the other hand of a threaded cylinder 23 projecting from the middle of the cylindrical recess 21, the screwing of the cylinder 11 in the cylindrical recess 21 causing the simultaneous screwing of the cylinder 23 of the extreme module 2 in the cylindrical recess 13 of the intermediate module 1.

Une fois assemblés, les différents modules constituant le réservoir sont connectés, au niveau de perçages 4 ménagés à la base de chaque module, à un circuit de vidange 6, et connectés d'autre part, au niveau de perçages 5 ménagés à la partie supérieure de chaque module, à un circuit de mise à l'air 7. Once assembled, the various modules constituting the reservoir are connected, at the level of holes 4 provided at the base of each module, to a drainage circuit 6, and connected on the other hand, at the level of holes 5 provided at the top of each module, to a venting circuit 7.

L'un des modules extrêmes, par exemple le module 3, est d'autre part pourvu d'une embouchure 9 permettant le remplissage du réservoir ainsi constitué, des perçages 8 ménagés au milieu des moyens d'assemblage permettant aux différents modules de communiquer entre eux. One of the extreme modules, for example the module 3, is on the other hand provided with a mouth 9 allowing the filling of the reservoir thus constituted, holes 8 formed in the middle of the assembly means allowing the different modules to communicate between them.

Bien entendu la présente invention ne saurait être limitée à la description qui précède de certains de ses modes de réalisation, susceptible de subir un certain nombre de modifications sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention. Of course, the present invention cannot be limited to the foregoing description of some of its embodiments, which may undergo a certain number of modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.

En particulier le réservoir selon l'invention peut avantageusement servir de flotteur, notamment pour des pontons, auquel cas il est rempli d'air. Il peut également prendre la forme de toutes sortes de cuves industrielles ou domestiques.  In particular, the tank according to the invention can advantageously serve as a float, in particular for pontoons, in which case it is filled with air. It can also take the form of all kinds of industrial or domestic tanks.
