Substantial amounts of water released from the washing machine to wrong locations other than the bath tub will cause overflow, roof leakage and other types of severe damage.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif destiné à prévenir toute fuite de liquide par le conduit d'évacuation (10) sensiblement souple d'un système ou d'une installation alimentés en liquide sous pression, ou contenant au moins par intermittence du liquide sous pression. Le dispositif de cette invention comprend au moins une soupape de régulation de débit, qui peut être insérée à l'intérieur de la partie tuyau souple dudit conduit d'évacuation (10), ou reliée à celle-ci, en aval par rapport au sens d'écoulement dudit liquide. Cette soupape se présente sous la forme d'un clapet de non-retour (4), qui permet au liquide de s'écouler librement à travers ce clapet dans une direction sensiblement verticale. Ce dispositif comprend également un commutateur de débit (5) capable de convertir la pression du fluide en un signal électrique, ce commutateur de débit (5) étant monté dans ledit conduit d'évacuation (10) du système ou de l'installation en un point situé en amont par rapport au sens d'écoulement du liquide depuis le clapet de non-retour (4). Si l'on utilise ce dispositif dans un système ou une installation présentant un conduit d'arrivée (12) conçu pour introduire, au moins par intermittence, du liquide sous pression, ce dispositif peut éventuellement être pourvu d'une autre soupape de régulation de pression (6), capable de bloquer l'écoulement de liquide si la valeur de seuil prédéfinie de la vitesse d'écoulement de ce liquide est atteinte ou dépassée.
