Les réseaux de distribution de fluides : eau, produits pétroliers, produits industriels, comportent des canalisations munies de raccords, de dérivations, de bifurcations, parfois enterrées ou inaccessibles, susceptibles de fuites ou de ruptures. Fluid distribution networks: water, petroleum products, industrial products, include pipes provided with fittings, diversions, bifurcations, sometimes buried or inaccessible, susceptible to leaks or ruptures.
Indépendamment des pertes de fluides qu'elles occasionnent, ces fuites sont causes de dégâts aux installations et aux immeubles. Irrespective of the loss of fluids they cause, these leaks cause damage to installations and buildings.
La présente invention a pour but de détecter une fuite dès qu'elle se produit, d'en être averti au plus tôt pour y porter remède. The object of the present invention is to detect a leak as soon as it occurs, to be warned of it as soon as possible to remedy it.
Elle fait la distinction entre un débit normal utile de fluide et une fuite légère mais fautive. It distinguishes between a normal useful flow of fluid and a slight but faulty leak.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, nous considérons une installation d'alimentation en eau, mais il est entendu que la présente invention peut s'appliquer à tout autre type d'installation et pour tout autre fluide. By way of nonlimiting example, we consider a water supply installation, but it is understood that the present invention can be applied to any other type of installation and for any other fluid.
Le matériel utilisé comporte cinq organes disponibles séparément dans le commerce : un compteur à impulsions une électro-vanne un module logique programmable - deux compteurs notés Cl et C2 Le compteur à impulsions envoie un bref signal électrique au module logique pour chaque unité de fluide consommé. Par exemple : une impulsion pour un litre. The equipment used has five commercially available components: a pulse counter, a solenoid valve, a programmable logic module - two counters marked C1 and C2 The pulse counter sends a brief electrical signal to the logic module for each unit of fluid consumed. For example: one pulse for one liter.
Le module logique comptabilise ces impulsions par périodes 1 prédéterminées. Par exemple, t = 20 minutes. Le module logique transmet ce total au compteur Cl. The logic module counts these pulses by predetermined periods 1. For example, t = 20 minutes. The logic module transmits this total to the counter Cl.
Le compteur CI : deux cas seulement peuvent se présenter pour ce compteur. The CI counter: only two cases can arise for this counter.
Soit le module logique n'a enregistré aucune impulsion pendant une période t-pas de consommation ni de fuite-, il remet le compteur CI à zéro quel que soit son état antérieur. Either the logic module has not recorded any impulse during a period t - no consumption or leakage -, it resets the CI counter to zero whatever its previous state.
Soit le module logique a comptabilisé une ou plusieurs impulsions pendant une période 1 : il envoie une et une seule impulsion au compteur CI qui marque 1 . Either the logic module has recorded one or more pulses during a period 1: it sends one and only one pulse to the CI counter which marks 1.
Le compteur C2 reçoit ses instructions du compteur Cl-par l'intermédiaire du module logique-à la fin de chaque période 1. Il comptabilise les instructions du compteur CI sur une période T, par exemple 6 heures, soit 18 fois la période t. The counter C2 receives its instructions from the counter C1-via the logic module-at the end of each period 1. It counts the instructions of the counter CI over a period T, for example 6 hours, ie 18 times the period t.
Deux cas seulement peuvent se présenter : Soit il reçoit le signal : Cl est à zéro. Il se met lui-même à zéro, quel que soit son état antérieur et il redémarre une nouvelle période T. Only two cases can arise: Either it receives the signal: Cl is zero. It sets itself to zero, whatever its previous state and it starts a new T period.
Soit il reçoit le signal : Cl est à 1 et le compteur C2 ajoute une unité à son état antérieur, tandis que le compteur Cl est remis à zéro. Either it receives the signal: Cl is at 1 and the counter C2 adds a unit to its previous state, while the counter Cl is reset to zero.
Point important : le compteur C2 ne peut parvenir à la fin d'une période T que si à aucun moment des 18 périodes 1, le compteur CI n'a signalé être à zéro. Dans ce cas, à la fin de la Important point: the counter C2 can only reach the end of a period T if at no time in the 18 periods 1, the counter CI has reported being at zero. In this case, at the end of the
<Desc/Clms Page number 2> <Desc / Clms Page number 2>
1 période T, le compteur C2 marque 18 .
1 period T, the counter C2 marks 18.
C'est cette apparition du nombre 18 qui déclenche l'alarme et ferme l'électro-vanne. It is this appearance of the number 18 which triggers the alarm and closes the solenoid valve.
L'électro-vanne : comme on vient de le voir, cette électro-vanne ne fonctionne que si le compteur C2 a affiché la valeur 18 , donc uniquement si la canalisation a été alimentée sans cesse durant toute la période T, ce qui est signe de fuite. The solenoid valve: as we have just seen, this solenoid valve only works if the counter C2 has displayed the value 18, therefore only if the pipeline has been continuously supplied throughout the period T, which is a sign leak.
NOTA : Il apparaît évident que la présente invention est basée sur la programmation du module logique ; les compteurs CI et C2 n'ont d'autre utilité que de permettre un contrôle visuel de l'état de l'installation à chaque instant. Ils ne sont donc pas indisnensables, car ils se trouvent virtuellement dans le module logique. NOTE: It appears obvious that the present invention is based on the programming of the logic module; the counters CI and C2 have no other use than to allow a visual control of the state of the installation at all times. They are therefore not essential, because they are virtually in the logic module.
La présente invention nécessite le regroupement de trois éléments indispensables : - un compteur à impulsions un module logique spécialement programmé - une électro-vanne. The present invention requires the grouping of three essential elements: - a pulse counter, a specially programmed logic module - a solenoid valve.
Eléments accessoires : - compteurs Cl et C2 avertisseurs : lumineux, sonores, transmetteurs par téléphone, fax, E-mail ou autres.Accessory elements: - Cl and C2 warning meters: light, sound, transmitters by telephone, fax, E-mail or others.
