Abstract

Actuator comprises two adjustable claws (1) attached to pipeline using screw (2), and threaded rod (3), through which extends axis (6) ended with hand (5) placed on tap. Axis is linked to electric motor (7) using pin (9). Actuator is activated using radio transmitter having two electrodes placed on the ground. In case of water leakage, water comes in contact with electrodes, completing a circuit. Radio wave is then sent to receiver activating actuator that turns water main off. Water main can only be re-opened manually, by pressing down button on radio receiver.

Description

<U>ROBINET MOTORISÉ À DÉTECTION</U> La présente invention concerne, d'une manière globale, un système mécanique capable d'actionner le robinet d'arrivée d'eau principale ou secondaire sans avoir à intervenir au préalable sur la canalisation qui le précède, ceci dans le but d'éviter les dégâts des eaux. The present invention relates generally to a mechanical system capable of actuating the main or secondary water inlet valve without first having to intervene on the pipe which precedes it, in order to avoid water damage.

Dans les types d'appareils existants, il est impératif de couper l'alimentation principale de l'habitation, voir même l'alimentation générale de l'immeuble dans le cas de logements collectifs, et de faire appel à un professionnel, pour sectionner les tuyaux et y adapter un appareil compatible au diamètre des canalisations, ces dernières étant souvent différentes. In the existing types of appliances, it is imperative to cut the main power supply of the house, or even the general power supply of the building in the case of collective dwellings, and to call in a professional, to cut the pipes and adapt a device compatible to the diameter of the pipes, the latter being often different.

Cela ne permet pas une installation personnelle et facile de ces appareils sur tout type de robinet et de canalisation, sans aucune aide extérieure de professionnels. This does not allow a personal and easy installation of these devices on any type of faucet and pipe without any outside help from professionals.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients précités et d'atteindre les objectifs qui viennent d'être fixés. The present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and achieve the objectives that have just been set.

A cet effet, elle concerne un appareil de forme étrier, comportant à sa base deux mâchoires réglables (1) permettant de s'adapter sur tous diamètres de canalisation par simple serrage de vis (2) et de ce fait rendant l'étrier solidaire du tuyau. To this end, it relates to a stirrup-shaped apparatus, comprising at its base two adjustable jaws (1) to adapt to any diameter of the pipe by simply tightening screws (2) and thereby making the stirrup integral with the pipe.

Cet appareil, dispose en son centre d'une tige filetée creuse (3), laissant passer un axe (6) se terminant par une main (5). This device, has in its center a hollow threaded rod (3), letting through an axis (6) ending in a hand (5).

La forme particulière de la main permet de se positionner sur n'importe quelle largeur de robinet, y compris les robinets quart de tour. The special shape of the hand allows you to position yourself on any valve width, including quarter-turn valves.

La tige filetée (3),est faite pour permettre le réglage de la main (5) par rapport à la hauteur de la tête du robinet, une fois que la main est venue en appui sur la tête du robinet, le blocage se fait en serrant deux écrous (4), qui empêcheront la main de se retirer de la tête du robinet . The threaded rod (3), is made to allow adjustment of the hand (5) relative to the height of the valve head, once the hand is supported on the head of the tap, the blocking is done in tightening two nuts (4), which will prevent the hand from pulling out of the faucet head.

Pour mouvoir la main, l'axe (6) est rendu solidaire d'un moteur électrique (7) par l'intermédiaire d'une goupille (9). Le moteur n'est pas solidaire de l'étrier, il est maintenu en effort de rotation par deux axes (8) qui traversent symétriquement l'étrier dans sa partie supérieure, ce qui permet à la main de tourner indépendamment de l'étrier. To move the hand, the shaft (6) is secured to an electric motor (7) by means of a pin (9). The motor is not secured to the caliper, it is maintained in rotation force by two axes (8) which symmetrically pass through the stirrup in its upper part, which allows the hand to rotate independently of the caliper.

Le moteur est relié à un récepteur radio par deux fils électriques. The motor is connected to a radio receiver by two electric wires.

La mise en action du moteur est déclenchée par un émetteur radio ; ce dernier comporte, en sa base, deux électrodes, dans la mesure où le détecteur est posé à même le sol dans une pièce disposant d'appareils reliés à des canalisations d'eaux. The actuation of the engine is triggered by a radio transmitter; the latter comprises, at its base, two electrodes, to the extent that the detector is placed on the floor in a room with devices connected to water pipes.

Si une fuite se produit, l'eau se répandant sur le sol vient mettre en contact les électrodes (l'eau étant conductrice d'électricité). Une onde radio est alors émise via le récepteur, qui actionne le moteur de l'étrier ; la main tenant la tête du robinet se met en rotation et vient donc fermer ce dernier. L'arrivée d'eau est donc coupée. If a leak occurs, the water spreading on the ground comes into contact with the electrodes (the water being electrically conductive). A radio wave is then emitted via the receiver, which actuates the caliper motor; the hand holding the head of the tap is rotated and thus close the latter. The arrival of water is thus cut off.

En fin de course du robinet, le moteur se débraye automatiquement. At the end of the valve stroke, the motor disengages automatically.

Seule une intervention humaine peut opérer la réouverture du robinet.Only human intervention can operate the reopening of the tap.

Pour ce faire il suffit d'appuyer sur un bouton situé sur le récepteur radio. Le moteur étant dans ce cas en mode inversé, la main viendra dévisser la tête de robinet ; l'eau retrouve son passage. To do this, simply press a button on the radio receiver. The engine being in this case in inverted mode, the hand will unscrew the valve head; the water finds its passage.
