Description

BOITIER ETANCHE POUR L'ENCASTREMENT D'UN APPAREILLAGE DANS UNE PAROI WATERPROOF HOUSING FOR BUILT-IN APPARATUS IN A WALL
L'invention concerne le domaine technique général des boîtiers d'encastrement pour le logement, dans une paroi, d'un quelconque appareillage de types divers, tel que par exemple électrique ou fluidique.The invention relates to the general technical field of recessed boxes for housing, in a wall, any device of various types, such as for example electrical or fluidic.
La présente invention concerne, plus précisément, les boîtiers pour l'encastrement de divers appareillages destinés à équiper des enceintes à atmosphère contrôlée, des chambres de confinement, ou d'une manière générale, des salles blanches devant présenter un caractère étanche vis-à-vis de l'extérieur, notamment pour éviter une contamination de l'environnement extérieur.The present invention relates, more specifically, to the housings for the embedding of various apparatuses intended to equip enclosures with controlled atmosphere, confinement chambers, or generally, clean rooms which must have a tightness vis-à-vis from the outside, especially to avoid contamination of the outside environment.
Dans l'état de la technique, le montage d'un appareillage sur une paroi consiste à réaliser sur cette paroi, une cavité dans laquelle un boîtier est encastré. Le boîtier est fixé à la paroi à l'aide de moyens d'assemblage, tels que par exemple des vis, associées ou non à des griffes susceptibles de passer sous l'action d'une vis de commande, d'une position rétractée à une position déployée. Un tel boîtier sert de support de montage pour l'appareillage à encastrer dans la paroi.In the prior art, the mounting of an apparatus on a wall consists in producing on this wall, a cavity in which a housing is embedded. The housing is fixed to the wall by means of assembly, such as for example screws, associated or not with claws capable of passing under the action of a control screw, from a retracted position to a deployed position. Such a housing serves as a mounting support for the apparatus to be embedded in the wall.
Il existe de nombreuses formes de réalisation de tels boîtiers adaptés au type d'appareillage à recevoir. Une des particularités du montage de ces boîtiers est de porter atteinte à l'intégrité de la paroi dans laquelle ils sont encastrés. En effet, la cavité d'encastrement réalisée dans la paroi de réception, conduit fréquemment à la création d'un passage de communication entre les deux côtés de la paroi, ce qui représente un inconvénient majeur, en particulier dans le cas où la paroi délimite, d'un côté, une chambre de confinement ou à atmosphère contrôlée devant présenter, notamment pour des raisons de sécurité, un caractère étanche vis-à-vis de l'extérieur.There are many embodiments of such cases adapted to the type of apparatus to be received. One of the special features of mounting these boxes is that they affect the integrity of the wall in which they are embedded. Indeed, the embedding cavity produced in the receiving wall, frequently leads to the creation of a communication passage between the two sides of the wall, which represents a major drawback, in particular in the case where the wall delimits , on the one hand, a containment or controlled atmosphere chamber which must, in particular for security reasons, have a sealed character vis-à-vis the outside.
Le document DE 296 22 171 a proposé un boîtier de connexion électrique conçu pour permettre de respecter la réglementation sur l'isolation thermique. Un tel boîtier de connexion comporte une boîte de réception d'un appareillage présentant un corps étanche délimitant un logement s'ouvrant par une ouverture d'accès pour permettre le montage-démontage de l'appareillage. Le corps est pourvu d'une platine radiale bordant complètement l'ouverture d'accès et destinée à coopérer, à l'aide d'un joint d'étanchéité, avec la paroi dans laquelle le boîtier de connexion doit être encastré. Le fond de la boîte comporte des ouvertures pour le passage de câbles ou de tubes.Document DE 296 22 171 has proposed an electrical connection box designed to make it possible to comply with the regulations on thermal insulation. Such a connection box comprises a box for receiving an apparatus having a sealed body delimiting a housing opening by an access opening to allow mounting and dismounting of the apparatus. The body is provided with a radial plate completely bordering the access opening and intended to cooperate, using a seal, with the wall in which the connection box must be recessed. The bottom of the box has openings for the passage of cables or tubes.
Si ce boîtier de connexion électrique peut donner satisfaction pour résoudre le problème d'isolation thermique, un tel boîtier ne permet pas d'assurer, de manière sûre, l'étancheite totale d'un boîtier de connexion monté dans une paroi délimitant d'un côté une chambre de confinement ou à atmosphère contrôlée. Il s'avère, en effet, qu'un tel boîtier de connexion permet le raccordement de tubes de passage de câbles qui autorisent ainsi une communication avec l'extérieur. De plus, le montage d'un tel boîtier est à même de créer, dans la paroi, un passage de communication avec l'extérieur.If this electrical connection box can be satisfactory for solving the problem of thermal insulation, such a box does not ensure, in a secure manner, the total tightness of a connection box mounted in a wall delimiting a next to a containment or controlled atmosphere chamber. It turns out, in fact, that such a connection box allows the connection of cable passage tubes which thus allow communication with the outside. In addition, the mounting of such a housing is able to create, in the wall, a communication passage with the outside.
L'objet de l'invention vise donc à remédier aux inconvénients de l'état de la technique en proposant un boîtier pour l'encastrement d'un appareillage sur une paroi, conçu pour conserver l'étancheite complète de la chambre délimitée en partie par la paroi sur laquelle un tel appareillage est installé, un tel boîtier étant de conception simple et pouvant être monté rapidement sans risque d'un montage défectueux affectant l'étancheite.The object of the invention therefore aims to remedy the drawbacks of the state of the art by proposing a housing for the embedding of an apparatus on a wall, designed to keep the complete tightness of the chamber delimited in part by the wall on which such an apparatus is installed, such a housing being of simple design and being able to be mounted quickly without risk of a faulty assembly affecting sealing.
Pour atteindre un tel objectif, l'objet de l'invention concerne un boîtier étanche pour l'encastrement dans une cavité d'une paroi, d'un appareillage.To achieve such an objective, the object of the invention relates to a sealed housing for fitting into a cavity of a wall, of an apparatus.

Les fig. 1 et 2 illustrent un premier exemple de réalisation d'un boîtier étancheFigs. 1 and 2 illustrate a first embodiment of a waterproof case
1 conforme à l'invention destiné à assurer l'encastrement dans une cavité 2a d'une paroi 2, d'un appareillage 3. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, l'appareillage 3 est du type électrique puisqu'il s'agit d'un capteur de porte, de sorte que la paroi 2 est une partie d'un cadre de porte.1 according to the invention intended to ensure the embedding in a cavity 2a of a wall 2, of an apparatus 3. In this embodiment, the apparatus 3 is of the electrical type since it is a door sensor, so that the wall 2 is part of a door frame.
Le boîtier étanche 1 selon l'invention est constitué d'une boîte étanche 4 adaptée pour recevoir, de toute manière appropriée, l'appareillage 3. La boîte 4 comporte un corps étanche 5 constitué, dans l'exemple illustré aux fig. 1 et 2, sous la forme d'un fût tubulaire de section droite transversale circulaire muni d'un fond 6. Le corps étanche 5 délimite intérieurement un logement 8 s'ouvrant à l'opposé du fond 6, par une ouverture d'accès 9 permettant le montage et le démontage de l'appareillage 3. Dans l'exemple illustré, le fond 6 du corps étanche 5 est pourvu d'un orifice 11 équipé d'un passe-câble étanche 12. Le passe-câble étanche 12 qui est réalisé de préférence en un matériau compressible, est pourvu de préférence d'une gorge annulaire 13 destinée à être encastrée sur les bords de l'orifice 11, afin de garantir une étanchéité entre le passe-câble 12 et le corps étanche 5. Le passe-câble 12, qui se présente sous la forme d'une douille, est pourvu d'un canal 15 pour le passage d'un câble de l'appareillage 3 non représenté mais présentant une section supérieure à celle du canal 15, de manière à obtenir une étanchéité efficace entre le câble de l'appareillage et le passe-câble 12.The sealed box 1 according to the invention consists of a sealed box 4 adapted to receive, in any suitable manner, the apparatus 3. The box 4 comprises a sealed body 5 formed, in the example illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the form of a tubular barrel of circular cross section provided with a bottom 6. The sealed body 5 internally delimits a housing 8 opening opposite the bottom 6, by an access opening 9 allowing the assembly and disassembly of the apparatus 3. In the example illustrated, the bottom 6 of the watertight body 5 is provided with an orifice 11 equipped with a watertight cable pass 12. The watertight cable pass 12 which is preferably made of a compressible material, is preferably provided with a groove annular 13 intended to be embedded on the edges of the orifice 11, in order to guarantee a seal between the cable passage 12 and the sealed body 5. The cable passage 12, which is in the form of a socket, is provided with a channel 15 for the passage of a cable of the apparatus 3 not shown but having a section greater than that of the channel 15, so as to obtain an effective seal between the cable of the apparatus and the cable gland 12.
Le corps étanche 5 est pourvu d'une platine 18 s'etendant sensiblement radialement par rapport au corps 5 pour venir contre la paroi 2. La platine 18 borde complètement l'ouverture 9 d'accès au logement 8 et présente une face arrière 19 dans laquelle est aménagée une gorge 21 périphérique par rapport à l'ouverture d'accès 9. Il doit être compris que la gorge périphérique 21 possède un contour fermé qui est adapté pour entourer la section d'ouverture de la cavité 2a de la paroi 2. En d'autres termes, le contour de la gorge périphérique 21 délimite une section qui englobe ou contient la section d'ouverture de la cavité 2a. La gorge 21 est conçue pour recevoir un joint d'étanchéité 22 de toute nature destiné à coopérer avec la paroi 2 en entourant ainsi la cavité 2a.The sealed body 5 is provided with a plate 18 extending substantially radially relative to the body 5 to come against the wall 2. The plate 18 completely borders the opening 9 for access to the housing 8 and has a rear face 19 in which is formed a peripheral groove 21 relative to the access opening 9. It should be understood that the peripheral groove 21 has a closed contour which is adapted to surround the opening section of the cavity 2a of the wall 2. In other words, the contour of the peripheral groove 21 delimits a section which includes or contains the opening section of the cavity 2a. The groove 21 is designed to receive a seal 22 of any kind intended to cooperate with the wall 2, thus surrounding the cavity 2a.
Le boîtier étanche 1 selon l'invention comporte également des moyens 23 de fixation étanche de la boîte 4 sur la paroi 2. Dans l'exemple illustré, les moyens de fixation étanche 23 sont constitués par des vis traversant la platine 18 par des trous de passage 24 aménagés extérieurement par rapport à la gorge périphérique 21.The sealed housing 1 according to the invention also comprises means 23 for sealing the box 4 tightly on the wall 2. In the example illustrated, the sealed fixing means 23 are constituted by screws passing through the plate 18 by holes in passage 24 arranged externally with respect to the peripheral groove 21.
La boîte étanche 4 comporte aussi des moyens 30 adaptés pour assurer la fixation de l'appareillage 3 sur la boîte étanche 4 en conservant le caractère étanche à ladite boîte 4. Dans l'exemple illustré, ces moyens de fixation 30 sont constitués par des vis destinées à venir coopérer dans des trous taraudés borgnes 31 aménagés dans des bossages 32 s'etendant à partir de la platine 18 sur une profondeur donnée du fût 5.The sealed box 4 also includes means 30 adapted to ensure the attachment of the apparatus 3 to the sealed box 4 while retaining the sealed nature of said box 4. In the example illustrated, these fixing means 30 are constituted by screws intended to come to cooperate in blind tapped holes 31 arranged in bosses 32 extending from the plate 18 over a given depth of the barrel 5.
Le montage du boîtier étanche 1 selon l'invention sur une paroi 2 découle directement de la description qui précède.The mounting of the waterproof housing 1 according to the invention on a wall 2 follows directly from the above description.
La boîte étanche 4 est encastrée par son fût 5, à l'intérieur de la cavité 2 a, de manière que la platine 18 vienne en appui contre la paroi 2. La boîte étanche 4 est fixée à la paroi 2 à l'aide des vis 23 qui s'engagent dans des trous borgnes taraudés 35 réalisés dans la paroi 2. La réalisation de trous taraudés borgnes 35 permet de conserver le caractère étanche à la paroi 2. Le joint d'étanchéité 22 coopère avec la paroi 2 en entourant la cavité 2a permettant d'obtenir une parfaite étanchéité entre la boîte étanche 4 et la paroi 2. L'appareillage 3 est monté sur la boîte étanche 4 à l'aide des vis de fixation 30. Dans la mesure où les vis 30 sont engagées dans des trous taraudés borgnes 31, le montage de l'appareillage 3 sur la boîte 4 n'affecte pas l'intégrité et par suite, le caractère étanche de la boîte 4. Le câble de l'appareillage 3 est engagé dans le canal 15 du passe-câble 12 permettant ainsi de constituer une boîte étanche 4. Compte tenu que la boîte étanche 4 ferme complètement l'ouverture de la cavité 2a et de manière hermétique grâce au joint d'étanchéité 22, il est obtenu une totale étanchéité entre les deux faces de la paroi 2.The sealed box 4 is embedded by its barrel 5, inside the cavity 2 a, so that the plate 18 comes to bear against the wall 2. The sealed box 4 is fixed to the wall 2 using the screws 23 which engage in tapped blind holes 35 made in the wall 2. The production of blind tapped holes 35 makes it possible to keep the wall 2 tight. The seal 22 cooperates with the wall 2 by surrounding the cavity 2a, making it possible to obtain a perfect seal between the sealed box 4 and the wall 2. The apparatus 3 is mounted on the sealed box 4 using the fixing screws 30. Insofar as the screws 30 are engaged in blind tapped holes 31, the mounting of the apparatus 3 on the box 4 does not affect the integrity and consequently , the watertight nature of the box 4. The cable of the apparatus 3 is engaged in the channel 15 of the cable passage 12 thus making it possible to constitute a waterproof box 4. Given that the waterproof box 4 completely closes the opening of the cavity 2a and hermetically thanks to the seal 22, a total seal is obtained between the two faces of the wall 2.
Les fig. 3 et 4 illustrent une autre variante de réalisation d'un boîtier étanche li conforme à l'invention, destiné à assurer l'encastrement d'un appareillage, tel qu'une prise électrique. Par souci de simplification, les différents éléments décrits en relation des fig. 1 et 2, identiques à ceux de cette variante de réalisation, sont affectés d'un indice 1 et ne sont pas décrits de nouveau en détail.Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate another alternative embodiment of a sealed case li according to the invention, intended to ensure the embedding of an apparatus, such as an electrical outlet. For the sake of simplification, the various elements described in relation to FIGS. 1 and 2, identical to those of this variant embodiment, are assigned an index 1 and are not described again in detail.
Un tel boîtier étanche li est constitué de manière similaire au boîtier étanche 1 décrit en relation des fig. 1 et 2. La différence principale concerne la mise en oeuvre de moyens 23ι de fixation étanche de la boîte 4χ sur la cloison 2. Dans cet exemple de réalisation, les moyens de fixation étanche 23ι sont constitués par des vis traversant la platine 18ι de la boîte étanche 4j par des trous de passage 24ι aménagés intérieurement par rapport à la gorge périphérique 21 j. Chaque vis 23ι est équipée d'un joint d'étanchéité 36ι annulaire destiné à coopérer avec la boîte étanche 4ι, de manière à assurer une étanchéité au niveau des trous de passage 24χ. Chaque vis 23ι peut être associée ou non à une griffe qui est déplacée par ladite vis pour coopérer avec la paroi 2, de manière à assurer la fixation de la boîte 4 sur la paroi 2.Such a sealed case li is constituted in a similar manner to the sealed case 1 described in relation to FIGS. 1 and 2. The main difference relates to the implementation of means 23ι for tightly sealing the box 4χ on the partition 2. In this embodiment, the waterproof fastening means 23ι are constituted by screws passing through the plate 18ι of the watertight box 4j by 24ι through holes arranged internally with respect to the peripheral groove 21j. Each screw 23ι is equipped with an annular seal 36ι intended to cooperate with the sealed box 4ι, so as to ensure a seal at the through holes 24χ. Each screw 23ι may or may not be associated with a claw which is moved by said screw to cooperate with the wall 2, so as to secure the box 4 on the wall 2.
Dans cet exemple de réalisation, il est à noter que la boîte étanche 4 est pourvue de deux orifices llχ s'etendant de façon diamétralement opposée sur le corps étanche 5χ. Chaque orifice lli est destiné à recevoir un passe-câble étanche 12ι.In this embodiment, it should be noted that the sealed box 4 is provided with two orifices llχ extending diametrically opposite on the sealed body 5χ. Each orifice lli is intended to receive a waterproof cable passage 12ι.
Les fig. 5 et 6 illustrent une autre variante de réalisation dans laquelle le boîtier étanche 12 selon l'invention est destiné à assurer l'encastrement d'un appareillage 32 constitué par un capteur de pression. Par souci de simplification, les différents éléments décrits en relation des fig. 1 et 2 identiques à ceux de cette variante de réalisation, sont affectés d'un indice 2 et ne sont pas décrits de nouveau. Dans cette variante de réalisation, la boîte étanche 42 présente une forme sensiblement rectangulaire pour recevoir le capteur de pression 3∑.Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate another alternative embodiment in which the sealed housing 1 2 according to the invention is intended to ensure the embedding of an apparatus 3 2 constituted by a pressure sensor. For the sake of simplification, the various elements described in relation to FIGS. 1 and 2 identical to those of this variant of achievement, are assigned an index 2 and are not described again. In this alternative embodiment, the sealed box 4 2 has a substantially rectangular shape for receiving the pressure sensor 3 ∑ .
Tel que cela ressort de la description qui précède, le boîtier étanche 1, lχ, 12 selon l'invention peut recevoir tous types d'accessoires à caractère électrique, mais également adaptés pour assurer la circulation d'un fluide. Dans ce dernier cas, la canalisation assurant la circulation du fluide traverse le passe-câble 12. Bien entendu, les dimensions et la forme de la boîte étanche 4, 4χ, 42 sont adaptées à l'accessoire à recevoir. Il peut ainsi être obtenu un équipement encastré dans une paroi 2 mettant en oeuvre un boîtier étanche conforme à l'invention, conservant le caractère étanche à la paroi tout en permettant le montage d'un accessoire.As is apparent from the above description, the sealed housing 1, l 1, 1 2 according to the invention can receive all types of accessories of an electrical nature, but also suitable for ensuring the circulation of a fluid. In the latter case, the pipe ensuring the circulation of the fluid passes through the cable gland 12. Of course, the dimensions and the shape of the sealed box 4, 4χ, 4 2 are adapted to the accessory to be received. It is thus possible to obtain equipment embedded in a wall 2 using a waterproof housing according to the invention, retaining the waterproof character to the wall while allowing the mounting of an accessory.
L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés, car diverses modifications peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre. The invention is not limited to the examples described and shown, since various modifications can be made thereto without departing from its scope.
