Abstract
Description
-t- La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif d'illuminationThe present invention relates to an illumination device
subaquatique adapté à une utilisation en milieu marin. underwater suitable for use in the marine environment.
Io Elle concerne d'une manière générale le domaine industriel et commercial de la fabrication et de la diffusion d'équipements destinés aussi bien à éclairer une zone déterminée située sous l'eau qu'à créer des an mations visuelles sous-marines. Io It concerns in a general way the industrial and commercial field of the manufacture and the diffusion of equipment intended as well to illuminate a certain zone located under the water that to create underwater visual anemations.
Les dispositifs d'illumination subaquatiques connus proposent uniquement des systèmes d'éclairage statique. Ils sont constitués d'une lampe électrique enfermée dans un volume étanche, et sont généralement munis d'une vitre plane transparente à la lumière. La vitre et le corps du dispositif sont maintenus solidaires par tous moyens appropriés, un joint plat assurait l'étanchéité de 20 l'ensemble. On peut citer le brevet N JP 2002 30 995 (HITACHI Ltd) qui concerne un projecteur étanche utilisé pour éclairer des objets situés sous l'eau et devant être inspectés visuellement. Cet appareil est constitué d'un boîtier étanche intégrant un réflecteur à surface parabolique et fermé par un verre plat. 2; Un autre document publié sous le N GB 673 (GENERAL ELECTRIC Co Ltd) fait état d'un dispositif d'éclairage subaquatique comportant une enveloppe cylindrique verticale avec vitre plane inclinée à sa partie supérieure, l'ensemble étant recouvert d'une enceinte de protection non étanche en matériau transparent. The known underwater illumination devices only offer static lighting systems. They consist of an electric lamp enclosed in a sealed volume, and are generally provided with a flat glass transparent to light. The window and the body of the device are held together by any appropriate means, a flat seal ensured the seal of the assembly. One can cite patent JP 2002 30 995 (HITACHI Ltd) which relates to a waterproof projector used to illuminate objects located under water and to be inspected visually. This device consists of a sealed housing incorporating a parabolic surface reflector and closed by a flat glass. 2; Another document published under the N GB 673 (GENERAL ELECTRIC Co Ltd) refers to an underwater lighting device comprising a vertical cylindrical envelope with flat glass inclined at its upper part, the assembly being covered with a protective enclosure not waterproof in transparent material.
() Certains dispositifs sont parfois encastrés de sorte que seule la vitre est en contact avec l'eau. -2- Par exemple, le brevet N CA 1 059 482 (WYLAIN Inc.) décrit un spot lumineux immergé s'insérant dans un boîtier encastré dans la paroi d'un réservoir () Some devices are sometimes built in so that only the glass is in contact with the water. For example, the patent N CA 10559482 (WYLAIN Inc.) describes a submerged light spot inserted in a housing recessed in the wall of a tank.
Ces solutions sont adaptées en particulier lorsqu'il s'agit d'illuminer des fontaines, des bassins d'eau ou des piscines. These solutions are particularly suitable for illuminating fountains, ponds or pools.
Lorsqu'il s'agit de créer une illumination dans de l'eau de mer, le problème devient plus difficile en raison des difficultés d'implantation des dispositifs io d'éclairage dans un endroit où la partie arrière serait dans un logement étanche et non en contact avec l'eau. De surcroît, le corps ainsi que tous les éléments constituant le matériel doivent être dimensionnés et réalisés en un matériau résistant à la corrosion marine, ce qui n'est pas le cas de la plupart des équipements présents commercialisés aujourd'hui. 15 De plus, lorsque la puissance de la lampe est importante et atteint plusieurs centaines de watts, la matière qui constitue le corps du dispositif doit résister à la chaleur dégagée par la lampe et les composants électroniques internes du dispositif. When it comes to creating an illumination in seawater, the problem becomes more difficult because of the difficulties of implantation of the lighting devices in a place where the rear part would be in a sealed housing and not in contact with water. In addition, the body and all the elements constituting the material must be sized and made of a material resistant to marine corrosion, which is not the case for most of the present equipment marketed today. In addition, when the power of the lamp is large and reaches several hundred watts, the material constituting the body of the device must withstand the heat generated by the lamp and the internal electronic components of the device.
20 Le dispositif selon la présente invention e pour objectif d'apporter une réponse à ces problèmes techniques. L'appareil d'éclairage présenté adopte une forme géométrique originale où la plus grande surface en contact avec l'eau est constituée par une cloche transparente insensible à la corrosion marine et présentant une grande ouverture angulaire optique permettant une illumination en 25 faisceau large et une très bonne diffusion thermique. Il permet de réduire sensiblement la surface de contact des parties métalliques avec l'eau et de réduire ainsi les phénomènes inévitables de corrosion pour une utilisation en milieu marin. Il permet en outre de proposer un éclairage dynamique totalement intégré sans mise en oeuvre de mécanismes extérieurs. The device according to the present invention aims to provide an answer to these technical problems. The presented luminaire adopts an original geometrical form where the largest surface in contact with water is a transparent bell insensitive to marine corrosion and having a large optical angular aperture allowing wide beam illumination and very good thermal diffusion. It significantly reduces the contact area of metal parts with water and reduce the inevitable phenomena of corrosion for use in the marine environment. It also allows to offer a fully integrated dynamic lighting without implementation of external mechanisms.
Ce dispositif est constitué d'une enceinte étanche insensible à la corrosion marine formée par l'assemblage d'une platine support plane et d'une cloche en matériau transparent contenant une source lumineuse et les composants 2; 3o mécaniques, optiques et électroniques nécessaires à son fonctionnement qui peut être rendu dynamique au moyen d'un mécanisme de mise en mouvement de la source lumineuse ou d'un équipement faisant varier sa puissance et/ou sa couleur This device consists of a waterproof enclosure insensitive to marine corrosion formed by the assembly of a flat support plate and a transparent material bell containing a light source and the components 2; 3o mechanical, optical and electronic necessary for its operation that can be made dynamic by means of a mechanism for moving the light source or equipment varying its power and / or color
Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention : la figure 1 représente le dispositif en coupe axiale et la figure 2 montre ce dispositif vu de face. In the accompanying drawings, given by way of non-limiting example of one of the embodiments of the object of the invention: Figure 1 shows the device in axial section and Figure 2 shows the device seen from the front.
Le dispositif, figures 1 et 2, est constitué d'une source lumineuse 1 pourvue d'un dispositif optique tel q'un réflecteur 2 et disposée dans une cloche 3 transparente montée de façon étanche sur une platine 4 support plane. The device, Figures 1 and 2, consists of a light source 1 provided with an optical device such as a reflector 2 and disposed in a transparent bell 3 mounted sealingly on a flat support plate 4.
La platine 4, formant la partie arrière du dispositif, est dimensionnée 15 et réalisée en un matériau adapté à une utilisation dans l'eau de mer et donc peu sensible à la corrosion marine. Cette platine sert, pour sa partie intérieure, à la fixation des différents sous-ensembles internes d'une part, et pour sa partie extérieure à la fixation du dispositif sur un bâti de maintien immergé dans l'eau. 20 Le corps du dispositif enferme tous les composants mécaniques, optiques et électroniques nécessaires à son bon fonctionnement : la source lumineuse 1, l'électronique 5 d'alimentation, les pièces mécaniques de maintien et les divers éléments d'étanchéisation et de connexions électriques. Cet ensemble sera avantageusement complété par un système interne de fonctionnement dynamique de l'éclairage constitué d'un mécanisme 6 de mise en mouvement de la source lumineuse 1 et/ou d'un équipement électronique de variation de l'intensité lumineuse et/ou d'un équipement électronique ou mécanique de variation de la couleur de la lumière. The plate 4, forming the rear part of the device, is dimensioned 15 and made of a material suitable for use in seawater and therefore insensitive to marine corrosion. This plate serves, for its inner part, the fixing of the various internal subassemblies on the one hand, and for its outer part to the fixing of the device on a holding frame immersed in water. The body of the device encloses all the mechanical, optical and electronic components necessary for its proper functioning: the light source 1, the power electronics 5, the mechanical holding parts and the various sealing elements and electrical connections. This set will advantageously be supplemented by an internal dynamic operating system of the lighting constituted by a mechanism 6 for setting the light source 1 in motion and / or an electronic equipment for varying the light intensity and / or electronic or mechanical equipment for varying the color of the light.
La cloche 3, en verre ou autre matériau transparent résistant à la corrosion marine, est maintenue solidaire de la platine 4 par l'intermédiaire d'une -4- bride de serrage 7. Un joint d'étanchéité 8 et un pré-joint de protection sont placés entre la cloche en verre et la platine. The bell 3, made of glass or other transparent material resistant to marine corrosion, is held integral with the plate 4 by means of a clamping flange 7. A seal 8 and a pre-seal of protection are placed between the glass bell and the plate.
Une cage métallique constituée d'au moins un arceau 9 en forme de dôme est placée autour de la cloche 3 transparente et sert de protection à cette dernière contre les chocs éventuels. A metal cage consisting of at least one dome-shaped arch 9 is placed around the transparent bell 3 and serves to protect it against possible shocks.
Le dispositif d'illumination est alimenté par une tension externe à travers un câble de liaison et un dispositif de jonction 10 étanche et démontable 10 placé sur la platine 4 support. The illumination device is powered by an external voltage through a connecting cable and a waterproof and removable connection device 10 placed on the support plate 4.
Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus par des équipements similaires. 15 The positioning of the various constituent elements gives the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects that had not been obtained so far by similar equipment. 15
