Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention est dans le domaine général de la protection des bâtiments contre les inondations et les crues.The present invention is in the general field of the protection of buildings against floods and floods.

Elle concerne en particulier un ensemble de protection contre les inondations qui permet de protéger les habitations, ou autres constructions réalisées, des montées rapides des eaux dont les hauteurs atteintes, n'étaient pas au moment de leurs constructions, ni indiquées, ni même pensables.It relates in particular to a set of protection against flooding which makes it possible to protect the dwellings, or other constructions carried out, from rapid rises in water, the heights of which, at the time of their construction, were not indicated or even thinkable.

Les risques nouveaux d'inondations sur des terrains constructibles paraissent de plus en plus grands, d'où l'ensemble de protection ci-dessous proposé, conçu principalement pour les habitations de particuliers, de magasins, d'entrepôts, de garages de particuliers au niveau chaussée, ou souterrain, ou de parkings publics souterrains.The new risks of flooding on building land seem increasingly great, hence the protection set below proposed, designed mainly for private homes, shops, warehouses, private garages in road level, or underground, or underground public car parks.

Cet ensemble, de mise en œuvre standard, constitue une barrière étanche à l'eau, sur une hauteur de un (1) mètre minimum pour :

  • Permettre sa mise en place automatique, facile, rapide en cas de nécessité, sans intervention humaine,
  • Respecter les règlements et normes en vigueur des pays considérés,
  • Tenir compte des obligations imposées parfois dans les contrats d'assurances définissant les hauteurs possibles des protections -batardeaux ou équivalents) installés par les propriétaires des lieux pour se protéger d'inondations éventuelles,
  • Lorsque les règlements, décrets ou lois laissent libres les propriétaires, la hauteur de la barrière étanche à l'eau peut être augmentée sans risque, notamment pour les descentes de garages souterrains.
This assembly, of standard implementation, constitutes a watertight barrier, on a height of one (1) meter minimum for:
  • Allow its automatic, easy, rapid installation if necessary, without human intervention,
  • Comply with the regulations and standards in force in the countries concerned,
  • Take into account the obligations sometimes imposed in insurance contracts defining the possible heights of the protections (cofferdams or equivalent) installed by the owners of the premises to protect themselves from possible flooding,
  • When the regulations, decrees or laws leave the owners free, the height of the watertight barrier can be increased without risk, in particular for the descents of underground garages.

Cette nouvelle barrière faisant barrage à l'eau en cas d'inondation est implantée à demeure, connectée et simple de réalisation.This new barrier blocking water in the event of flooding is permanently installed, connected and easy to build.

Pour prendre en compte l'esthétique globale de la barrière, l'ensemble du mécanisme nécessaire à son fonctionnement est intégré dans un caisson fermé, lui-même faisant partie si disposition souhaitée d'une verrière adaptée.

  • Positionner au-dessus d'une porte d'entrée, lorsqu'il s'agit d'une habitation, ou d'un support adapté lorsqu'il s'agit d'une descente de garage privé ou public.
To take into account the overall aesthetics of the barrier, the whole of the mechanism necessary for its operation is integrated into a closed box, itself forming part, if desired, of a suitable canopy.
  • Position above an entrance door, when it is a dwelling, or a suitable support when it is a descent from a private or public garage.

Cette barrière étanche permet de protéger au maximum des inondations les habitations ainsi équipées, inondations dont les conséquences sont toujours lourdes financièrement, moralement pénibles à vivre, notamment lorsqu'elles deviennent répétitives.This watertight barrier makes it possible to protect the dwellings thus equipped as much as possible from flooding, flooding whose consequences are always financially heavy, morally difficult to live with, especially when they become repetitive.

Arrière-plan technologiqueTechnology background

Les résultats des recherches entreprises pour trouver des solutions disponibles, opérationnelles pour se protéger des inondations sur le créneau indiqué, montrent à l'évidence qu'il existe un grand nombre de possibilités offertes pour l'industrie, les bords de mer, les emplacements de stockage, les lotissements ... etc. mais peu de solutions pour les habitations, leurs garages en sous-sol, les maisons proches des rivières.The results of the research undertaken to find available, operational solutions to protect against flooding in the niche indicated, clearly show that there are a large number of possibilities offered for industry, seaside locations, storage, housing estates ... etc. but few solutions for homes, their basement garages, houses near rivers.

Pour les logements, maisons particulières, garages en sous-sol, les solutions proposées, vont des sacs de sable posés les uns sur les autres, des batardeaux en bois ou autres composants qu'il faut mettre manuellement en place, lorsque les risques d'inondation deviennent réels. Quelques propositions plus industrielles existent toutes apparemment manuelles, non automatiques, non connectées, telle que la proposition divulguée dans DE102016009648 A1 .For housing, private houses, garages in the basement, the solutions proposed range from sandbags placed on top of each other, wooden cofferdams or other components that must be put in place manually, when the risk of flood become real. A few more industrial proposals exist all apparently manual, not automatic, not connected, such as the proposal disclosed in DE102016009648 A1 .

Hormis la solution proposée dans le document EP1028219 A2 , il n'existe pas de systèmes mis à demeure, qui se mettent automatiquement en place en cas de besoin, sauf action commandée par le propriétaire des lieux ou par un signal automatique émis sur place. Dans ce dernier cas, on pourra se reporter avantageusement à la demande de brevet FR3039584 A1 au nom d'un des présents inventeurs.Apart from the solution proposed in the document EP1028219 A2 , there are no fixed systems, which are automatically put in place if necessary, except action ordered by the owner of the premises or by an automatic signal emitted on the spot. In this last case, one can advantageously refer to the patent application FR3039584 A1 in the name of one of the present inventors.

Il existe donc un besoin pressant pour une barrière étanche de protection contre les inondations, dont la conception originale permette de surmonter les inconvénients de l'art antérieur exposés ci-dessus.There is therefore a pressing need for a watertight flood protection barrier, the original design of which makes it possible to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art set out above.

Objet de l'inventionObject of the invention

La présente invention vise un ensemble de protection contre les inondations pour protéger un bâtiment, simple dans sa conception et dans son mode opératoire, répondant aux inconvénients ci-dessus mentionnés.The present invention relates to a set of protection against flooding to protect a building, simple in its design and in its mode of operation, responding to the drawbacks mentioned above.

Un autre objet de la présente invention est un tel ensemble de protection comprenant pour chaque ouverture d'un bâtiment, un équipement de protection, et assurant un déploiement automatisé de l'ensemble de ces équipements de protection lorsque la survenue d'une inondation est détectée et ce, avant que les fluides (eaux, boues, ...) liés à cette inondation ne parviennent au pied de ce bâtiment.Another object of the present invention is such a protective assembly comprising, for each opening of a building, protective equipment, and ensuring an automated deployment of all of this protective equipment when the occurrence of a flood is detected. and this, before the fluids (water, sludge, etc.) linked to this flood reach the foot of this building.

La présente invention vise également un volet roulant pour la mise en œuvre de cet ensemble de protection, ce volet roulant étant économique, résistant et offrant une fermeture étanche de l'ouverture qu'il vient condamner.The present invention also relates to a roller shutter for the implementation of this protective assembly, this roller shutter being economical, resistant and offering a tight closure of the opening which it condemns.

Encore un objet de la présente invention est un procédé de protection d'un bâtiment contre les inondations particulièrement simple et fiable assurant une protection efficace de ce bâtiment contre les inondations.Yet another object of the present invention is a particularly simple and reliable method of protecting a building against flooding ensuring effective protection of this building against flooding.

BREVE DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTIONBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un ensemble de protection contre les inondations pour un bâtiment selon la revendication 3.To this end, the invention relates to a flood protection assembly for a building according to claim 3.

De manière avantageuse, la zone de sécurité entoure ainsi au moins partiellement le bâtiment à protéger et est déterminée dans son extension spatiale, de préférence pour assurer le déploiement complet de chaque équipement de protection équipant le bâtiment avant que lesdits fluides n'arrivent au pied du bâtiment.Advantageously, the safety zone thus at least partially surrounds the building to be protected and is determined in its spatial extension, preferably to ensure the complete deployment of each protective equipment fitted to the building before said fluids reach the foot of the building. building.

En effet, on observe que les dispositifs de calfeutrage d'ouverture de l'état de l'art, sont inopérants car déployés trop tardivement, les fluides liés à l'inondation étant déjà sur le bâtiment à protéger lorsqu'ils commencent à être activés.Indeed, it is observed that the opening caulking devices of the state of the art, are ineffective because deployed too late, the fluids related to the flood being already on the building to be protected when they begin to be activated. .

A titre purement illustratif, au moins certains des moyens de détection peuvent ainsi être placés en dehors de la zone de sécurité, par exemple dans une zone extérieure limitrophe à cette dernière et par conséquent, plus éloignée du bâtiment que ladite zone de sécurité.For purely illustrative purposes, at least some of the detection means can thus be placed outside the security zone, for example in an exterior zone adjacent to the latter and consequently further from the building than said security zone.

Certains moyens de détection tels que des caméras CCD peuvent permettre d'imager une zone d'intérêt situé au-delà de la zone de sécurité de sorte que ces derniers ne sont pas nécessairement placés à l'extérieur de la zone de sécurité ou du bâtiment.Certain means of detection such as CCD cameras can make it possible to image an area of interest located beyond the security zone so that the latter are not necessarily placed outside the security zone or the building. .

De préférence, ces moyens de détections sont autonomes et indépendants de sorte qu'il ou qu'ils adressent chacun leurs données à l'unité centrale. De manière avantageuse, le déploiement de chaque équipement sera automatique lors de la détection de la survenue d'une inondation par le ou les moyens de détection. Alternativement, lorsque ces moyens de détection sont multiples, un ou plusieurs d'entre eux peuvent être placés en réseau de sorte que la détection de la présence d'eau ou d'un niveau anormal d'eau par un dispositif de mesure entraîne le réveil d'un ou plusieurs autres dispositifs de mesure placés en sommeil pour économiser la batterie ou la consommation énergétique, notamment lorsqu'ils ne sont pas branchés sur le secteur, afin de confirmer ou infirmer cette présence d'eau ou d'un niveau anormal d'eau en dehors de la zone de sécurité. Une étape de confirmation de la matérialité de cette inondation pourrait alors être envisagée avant déploiement de chaque équipement de protection par l'unité centrale notamment lorsque l'arrivée des fluides liés à l'inondation montre que cette dernière est lente.Preferably, these detection means are autonomous and independent so that they each send their data to the central unit. Advantageously, the deployment of each piece of equipment will be automatic upon detection of the occurrence of a flood by the detection means or means. Alternatively, when these detection means are multiple, one or more of them can be placed in a network so that the detection of the presence of water or of an abnormal level of water by a measuring device leads to the awakening one or more other measuring devices placed on standby to save battery power or energy consumption, in particular when they are not connected to the mains, in order to confirm or invalidate this presence of water or an abnormal level of water water outside the safety zone. A step of confirming the materiality of this flooding could then be envisaged before deployment of each protective equipment by the central unit, in particular when the arrival of fluids linked to the flooding shows that the latter is slow.

Selon l'invention, au moins les bords latéraux du corps de volet roulant étanche sont gonflables, la partie centrale du corps de volet roulant comportant une paroi flexible pouvant être renforcée par des éléments de renfort rigides, ou raidisseurs, espacés les uns des autres. Ces éléments de renfort mécanique peuvent être des lattes de renfort ou des barres reçues dans des logements prévus à cet effet dans la paroi flexible. La paroi flexible peut être multicouches et comporter une peau externe de protection telle qu'un tissu type carbone/Innegra®.According to the invention, at least the side edges of the sealed roller shutter body are inflatable, the central part of the roller shutter body comprising a flexible wall which can be reinforced by rigid reinforcing elements, or stiffeners, spaced from each other. These mechanical reinforcement elements can be reinforcement slats or bars received in housings provided for this purpose in the flexible wall. The flexible wall can be multilayered and include an outer protective skin such as a carbon/ Innegra® type fabric.

DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE MODE DE REALISATION DE L'INVENTIONDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

Tout d'abord, on note que les figures ne sont pas à l'échelle.First, note that the figures are not to scale.

Le dispositif ami-inondation se compose de trois principaux éléments :

  • Premier élément: une barrière étanche à l'eau, formée d'un rideau qui se déroule.
The anti-flood system consists of three main elements:
  • First element: a waterproof barrier, formed by an unrolling curtain.

Une membrane avec ses composants, souple, élastique, légère telle que celles qui servent à fabriquer des citernes pour la récupération et le stockage des eaux de pluie.A membrane with its components, flexible, elastic, light such as those used to manufacture cisterns for the recovery and storage of rainwater.

Réalisées en E.P.D.M., matériau aux qualités remarquables, il permet aux réservoirs ainsi construits de combiner solidité, légèreté, élasticité tout en bénéficiant d'une durée de vie exceptionnelle.Made of E.P.D.M., a material with remarkable qualities, it allows the tanks thus constructed to combine solidity, lightness, elasticity while benefiting from an exceptional lifespan.

Les membranes en E.P.D.M. sont utilisées dans le BTP, l'industrie, le domaine résidentiel, mais également dans de nombreux processus industriels.E.P.D.M. are used in construction, industry, the residential sector, but also in many industrial processes.

Ce type de membrane ou son équivalent constituera la partie barrière étanche anti- inondation proprement dite ; elle sera elle-même protégée sur toute sa surface par un tissu type carbone/Innegra®. Dans la famille des tissus hybrides techniques, le tissu carbone/ Innegra® bénéficie du meilleur rapport flexibilité/résistance/poids.This type of membrane or its equivalent will constitute the watertight anti-flood barrier part itself; it will itself be protected over its entire surface by a carbon/Innegra ® type fabric. In the family of technical hybrid fabrics, the carbon/Innegra ® fabric benefits from the best flexibility/strength/weight ratio.

Travaillé avec une résine époxy il assure une très grande résistance aux chocs, aux impacts violents, bien supérieure à un tissu carbone-Kevlar.Worked with an epoxy resin, it provides a very high resistance to shocks and violent impacts, much higher than a carbon-Kevlar fabric.

L'enveloppe ainsi réalisée présente une suite de poches rigides (Fig. 1/6 et 2/6) totalement étanches, toutes les soudures étant faites par vulcanisation ; l'épaisseur finie de cette membrane de l'ordre de 2mm5, lui confère des caractéristiques performantes de durée, ultrarésistante et indestructible. Après vulcanisation et collage l'assemblage forme une matière unique, homogène.The envelope thus produced has a series of rigid pockets ( Fig. 1 / 6 and 2 / 6 ) completely sealed, all welds being made by vulcanization; the finished thickness of this membrane of the order of 2mm5, gives it high-performance characteristics of duration, ultra-resistant and indestructible. After vulcanization and gluing, the assembly forms a single, homogeneous material.

Lorsque la largeur de la barrière étanche est supérieure à une dimension déterminée, la membrane étanche en EPDM est renforcée. Constituée de deux lés, placés l'un sur l'autre, on y insère une bande de tape EPDM cru qui va permettre de réaliser une vulcanisation par réticulation; fusion des molécules de la matière entre elles.When the width of the waterproof barrier is greater than a determined dimension, the EPDM waterproof membrane is reinforced. Consisting of two strips, placed one on the other, a strip of raw EPDM tape is inserted therein which will allow vulcanization by cross-linking; fusion of the molecules of matter between them.

Cette membrane une fois mise aux dimensions utiles sera protégée, côtés visibles, comme déjà indiqué, par un tissu type carbone/ Innegra®.This membrane, once brought to the useful dimensions, will be protected, visible sides, as already indicated, by a carbon/Innegra ® type fabric.

La barrière étanche à l'eau peut aussi être constituée d'autres composants tels que le néoprène japonais de Yamamoto® avec toile trilaminée ou cordura®, matériau ayant une bonne résistance au déchirement et à l'abrasion tout en conservant une bonne souplesse.The watertight barrier can also be made up of other components such as Japanese neoprene from Yamamoto ® with trilaminated fabric or Cordura ® , a material with good tear and abrasion resistance while retaining good flexibility.

Nous pouvons aussi utiliser des bâches en PVC qualité professionnelle XPR 900g ...We can also use XPR 900g professional quality PVC tarpaulins ...

Si on observe les caractéristiques de ces bâches, nous avons :

  • Matériau: PVC (polychlorure de vinyle) Polymère thermoplastique
  • Grammage : 900g/m2.
  • Toile: polyester 1100 dTex enduite.
  • Résistance déchirure 60/50 daN.
  • Résistance rupture 420/480daN.
  • Tenue au froid - 30°.
  • Tenue à la chaleur + 70°.
If we look at the characteristics of these tarpaulins, we have:
  • Material: PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) Thermoplastic Polymer
  • Weight: 900g /m2.
  • Canopy: coated 1100 dTex polyester.
  • Tear resistance 60/50 daN.
  • Breaking strength 420/480daN.
  • Resistance to cold - 30°.
  • Heat resistance + 70°.

Les membranes constituants les bâches plastique polyester enduit PVC 900gr sont indéchirables, imperméables, imputrescibles.The membranes making up the 900gr PVC coated polyester plastic tarpaulins are tear-proof, waterproof and rot-proof.

Quel que soit le choix de la matière retenue, la structure (soit l'ensemble rigide) du rideau barrière créé, est réalisée par la mise en place incorporés à la membrane, de tubes raidisseurs aluminium ou acier (Figure 1, page 1/6 et Figure 2, page 2/6).Regardless of the choice of material chosen, the structure (i.e. the rigid assembly) of the barrier curtain created is produced by installing, incorporated into the membrane, aluminum or steel stiffening tubes ( Figure 1 , page 1/6 and Figure 2 , page 2/6).

Ces renforts tubulaires vont permettre d'assurer les contraintes subies par l'écoulement des eaux d'inondation et les forces diverses produites par le courant, les objets transportés et tourbillons éventuels.These tubular reinforcements will make it possible to ensure the stresses undergone by the flow of flood waters and the various forces produced by the current, the objects transported and any whirlpools.

Ces tubes raidisseurs mis à intervalles définis (Figure 2, page 2/6) maintiennent également la largeur correcte de la barrière ; sa hauteur étant définie par la tension programmée des sangles sous contrôle de tensiomètres ; sangles de suspension porteuses de la barrière étanche anti-inondation.These stiffening tubes placed at defined intervals ( Figure 2 , page 2/6) also maintain the correct width of the barrier; its height being defined by the programmed tension of the straps under the control of tensiometers; suspension straps supporting the watertight anti-flood barrier.

A intervalles déterminés ces tubes en aluminium ou en acier permettent au rideau barrière d'être parfaitement maintenu et guidé lors de sa mise en place opérationnelle.At determined intervals, these aluminum or steel tubes allow the barrier curtain to be perfectly maintained and guided during its operational installation.

La programmation du système dirigera, selon besoin, la mise en descente du rideau barrière :

  • Par la mise en rotation descente du tambour porteur du rideau barrière d'étanchéité où il était enroulé.
  • De sa descente jusqu'au contact avec le sol, guidé par les deux profils en U prévus à cet effet et positionnés de part et d'autre de l'ouverture à protéger.
  • Les guides de translation verticale de la barrière ci-dessus décrite seront en tôle d'aluminium formant un U (Figure 3, page 3/6 et Figure 4, page 4/6) de 60×60×5 ou de 90 × 100 × 10. Pour certaines installations ces dimensions du U pourront être différentes.
The system programming will direct the lowering of the barrier curtain as needed:
  • By lowering the rotation of the carrier drum of the sealing barrier curtain where it was rolled up.
  • From its descent to contact with the ground, guided by the two U-profiles provided for this purpose and positioned on either side of the opening to be protected.
  • The vertical translation guides of the barrier described above will be made of aluminum sheet forming a U ( Figure 3 , page 3/6 and Figure 4 , page 4/6) of 60×60×5 or 90×100×10. For certain installations, these dimensions of the U may be different.

De part et d'autre des ailes du U, des coulisseaux en Cestidur® ou matière ayant les mêmes qualités de glisse et de tenue seront positionnés, maintenus de préférence par collage. - Deuxième élément : Le caisson avec ses équipements et mécanismes.On either side of the wings of the U, sliders in Cestidur ® or a material having the same gliding and holding properties will be positioned, preferably maintained by gluing. - Second element: The box with its equipment and mechanisms.

La partie supérieure est constituée d'un caisson en tôle protégée, galvanisée ou autres protections selon convenances et esthétiques (Figure 5, page 5/6)The upper part consists of a box made of protected, galvanized sheet metal or other protections according to convenience and aesthetics ( Figure 5 , page 5/6)

Il contiendra l'équipement de translation descente/montée de la barrière étanche, constitué d'un tube motorisé porteur du tambour d'enroulement du rideau barrière; le moteur électrique retenu est le moteur Sunea io de Somfy® ou son équivalent. Il est placé à l'intérieur du tube; ce moteur est programmé pour stopper et remonter le rideau barrière si celui-ci rencontre un obstacle; ce moteur très utilisé pour le fonctionnement des stores ou des volets roulants automatiques est sous le contrôle tout comme la caméra choisie de io-home contrôle.It will contain the up/down translation equipment for the sealed barrier, consisting of a motorized tube carrying the barrier curtain winding drum; the electric motor used is the Sunea io motor from Somfy ® or its equivalent. It is placed inside the tube; this motor is programmed to stop and raise the barrier curtain if it encounters an obstacle; this engine widely used for the operation of blinds or automatic roller shutters is under control just like the chosen camera of io-home control.

Le caisson contiendra le compresseur pour mettre en pression d'air ou vide d'air, le boudin périphérique selon programmation du système ; sa mise en pression verrouillera en partie basse la barrière lorsqu'elle sera déroulée, le vide d'air son déverrouillage; la hauteur de la barrière maintenue selon programmation par les sangles de suspension.The box will contain the compressor to put air pressure or air vacuum, the peripheral tube according to system programming; its pressurization will lock the barrier in the lower part when it is unrolled, the air vacuum will unlock it; the height of the barrier maintained according to programming by the suspension straps.

Le boudin est caractérisé par le fait qu'il fait partie intégrante de la membrane constituant le rideau barrage. La membrane forme un ensemble d'une seule et même pièce. C'est un boudin unique agissant sur chacun des trois côtés verticaux des guides supports et sur la partie inférieure en contact avec le sol lorsqu'il est mis en pression. Il assure l'étanchéité verticale et de sol par son gonflage maintenu constant et contrôlé selon programmation.The roll is characterized by the fact that it is an integral part of the membrane constituting the barrier curtain. The membrane forms an assembly of one and the same piece. It is a single bead acting on each of the three vertical sides of the support guides and on the lower part in contact with the ground when it is pressurized. It ensures vertical and ground sealing by its inflation which is kept constant and controlled according to programming.

Les guides en U gauche et droit auront leur extrémité haute évasée, (Figure 5, page 5/6) pour former un avaloir facilitant lors du déroulement de la barrière souple un passage aisée de mise en défilement. Ces guides rentreront de quelques cm dans le caisson.The left and right U-shaped guides will have their high end flared, ( Figure 5 , page 5/6) to form a drain facilitating during the unrolling of the flexible barrier an easy passage of scrolling. These guides will fit a few cm into the box.

Le premier élément constituant la partie basse du rideau barrière reste lorsqu'il est remonté, engagé de quelques cm dans la partie haute de chacun des guides (Figure 5, page 5/6).The first element constituting the lower part of the barrier curtain remains when it is raised, engaged by a few cm in the upper part of each of the guides ( Figure 5 , page 5/6).

Ce premier élément, celui qui est en contact avec le sol (Figure 6, page 6/6) est différent de ceux positionnés à intervalles réguliers dans la poche membrane étanche. Il ne comporte pas un tube de diamètre 30mm en acier ou en aluminium, mais un fer plat (angles chanfreinés) de 70 × 30. Il est suivi d'un élément charnière en acier dur (Figure 6, page 6) formé de deux ailes mobiles maintenues écartées par ressort de rappel.This first element, the one that is in contact with the ground ( Figure 6 , page 6/6) is different from those positioned at regular intervals in the waterproof membrane pocket. It does not have a 30mm diameter steel or aluminum tube, but a flat iron (chamfered angles) of 70 × 30. It is followed by a hard steel hinge element ( Figure 6 , page 6) made up of two movable wings held apart by a return spring.

De par sa forme et son emplacement ce composant assure deux principales fonctions :

  • L'étanchéité basse rideau/sol, ainsi que le verrouillage de l'ensemble barrière en position baissée lorsque celle-ci est mise en service (Figure 6, page 6),
    Ce verrouillage indispensable permet lorsque la partie boudin est gonflée d'assurer la pression nécessaire à une bonne étanchéité entre le boudin proprement dit et le béton sur lequel il s'appuie. Sans verrouillage le poids seul de la barrière étanche ne permettrai pas une réelle étanchéité, la barrière étanche pourrait de par les vibrations reçues se déplacer vers le haut, créant de ce fait des fuites d'eau.
Due to its shape and location, this component performs two main functions:
  • The low curtain/floor sealing, as well as the locking of the barrier assembly in the lowered position when it is put into service ( Figure 6 , page 6),
    This essential locking allows when the flange part is inflated to ensure the pressure necessary for a good seal between the flange itself and the concrete on which it rests. Without locking, the weight of the watertight barrier alone will not allow real watertightness, the watertight barrier could move upwards due to the vibrations received, thereby creating water leaks.

A l'intérieur du caisson seront positionnés tous les autres composants utiles:

  • 1- Le compresseur d'air, pour gonfler ou dégonfler les boudins conçus avec la même membrane dans la même pièce que celle qui assure l'étanchéité du rideau barrière à eau.
  • 2- La batterie 12 ou 24 volts assurant l'énergie nécessaire aux différentes fonctions.
  • 3- Le boîtier des programmes d'exploitation générale permettant au dispositif d'assurer sa mission de protection contre les risques d'inondations sans intervention humaine.

  • 7- Le boîtier io-home control, nouveau protocole de communication sans fil, universel, sécurisé, partagé avec de grands fabricants de l'univers de la maison.
Inside the box will be positioned all the other useful components:
  • 1- The air compressor, to inflate or deflate the tubes designed with the same membrane in the same room as the one that seals the water barrier curtain.
  • 2- The 12 or 24 volt battery providing the energy required for the various functions.
  • 3- The general operating programs unit enabling the device to carry out its mission of protection against the risks of flooding without human intervention.
  • 4- the site surveillance camera under io-home control.
  • 5- The location, visible from the outside, of the two flashing lights warning of the lowering of the barrier curtain.
  • 6- Box bodywork or canopy if there is one, will serve as a support for the photovoltaic energy production panels for charging and maintaining the charge of the battery mentioned.
  • 7- The io-home control unit, a new universal, secure, wireless communication protocol shared with major manufacturers in the home world.

This home automation choice provides comfort, security and energy savings on a daily basis by making all the equipment in the house efficient and effective, managed locally or remotely.

Le moteur proposé Sunea io utilise aussi io-homecontrol.

  • 8- L'ensemble des câblages, signaux provenant des capteurs de montée des eaux, redondant pour double sécurité avec le logiciel de surveillance de la caméra qui informe si tel est le choix du responsable.
  • Troisième élément: Pose éventuelle d'une verrière au-dessus de la porte d'entrée.
The proposed Sunea io engine also uses io-homecontrol.
  • 8- All wiring, signals from rising water sensors, redundant for double security with the camera monitoring software which informs if this is the choice of the manager.
  • Third element: Possible installation of a canopy above the entrance door.

Le rideau servant de barrière étanche souple tel que décrit convient parfaitement pour des largeurs d'ouverture à protéger inférieures à 2 mètres.The curtain serving as a flexible watertight barrier as described is perfectly suitable for opening widths to be protected of less than 2 meters.

Si les dimensions d'ouverture à protéger des inondations, telles que celles des rampes de parking en sous-sol des particuliers, parkings publics souterrains, ou autres besoins nécessitant des protections comprises entre 2m et 4m, le rideau barrière souple pourra être remplacé par: Un rideau métallique aménagé sur le même principe que le rideau souple indiqué précédemment.If the opening dimensions to be protected from flooding, such as those for private basement parking ramps, underground public car parks, or other needs requiring protection between 2m and 4m, the flexible barrier curtain may be replaced by: A metal curtain arranged on the same principle as the flexible curtain indicated above.

Le rideau formant barrière étanche à l'eau sera dans ce cas-là, constitué de lames agrafées en acier double peau, avec un isolant intérieur, mousse phénolique ou autre à l'identique, le but de cet isolant étant d'amortir le bruit, sans réduire la souplesse, la légèreté de chaque lame mais en améliorant la raideur de chacune d'entre-elles.The curtain forming a watertight barrier will in this case be made up of double-skin steel stapled blades, with an interior insulation, phenolic foam or other identical, the purpose of this insulation being to dampen the noise, without reducing the flexibility, the lightness of each blade but improving the stiffness of each of them.

L'étanchéité sera assurée toujours par applications de membranes EPDM collées sur les lames agrafées en acier double peau, renforcées et protégées à l'identique de la description déjà faite, avec du tissu carbone/Innegra®.Sealing will always be ensured by applications of EPDM membranes bonded to the double-skin steel stapled slats, reinforced and protected identically to the description already given, with carbon/Innegra ® fabric.

Synthèse de l'invention:
Dispositif anti-inondations formé d'un rideau souple ce qui le caractérise, rideau renforcé étanche à l'eau installé à demeure; il s'enroule et se déroule; au repos il est enroulé sur un tambour logé dans un caisson au-dessus de l'ouverture à protéger; il se déroule automatiquement dès qu'un risque d'inondation est détecté; des guides de part et d'autre de l'ouverture, le maintiennent en bonne place, l'étanchéité guides/rideaux étant faite par le gonflage automatique de boudins périphériques.Summary of the invention:
Anti-flood device formed of a flexible curtain which characterizes it, reinforced waterproof curtain permanently installed; it rolls up and unrolls; at rest it is rolled up on a drum housed in a box above the opening to be protected; it takes place automatically as soon as a risk of flooding is detected; guides on either side of the opening keep it in place, the guides/curtains being sealed by the automatic inflation of peripheral tubes.

Ce rideau souple anti-inondation étanche à l'eau se caractérise par ses spécificités d'adaptation aux dimensions des ouvertures à protéger; pour de faibles largeurs les membranes spécifiées en EPDM renforcé ou matière équivalente sont maintenues par des renforts acier ou aluminium qui y sont insérés ; pour des largeurs supérieures, les membranes sont positionnées sur des supports constitués de lames agrafées en acier double peau.This watertight flexible anti-flood curtain is characterized by its specific adaptation to the dimensions of the openings to be protected; for small widths, the membranes specified in reinforced EPDM or equivalent material are maintained by steel or aluminum reinforcements inserted therein; for greater widths, the membranes are positioned on supports made of stapled double-skin steel blades.

Dispositif anti-inondation qui se caractérise par ses boudins périphériques qui assurent lorsqu'ils sont mis en pression d'air l'étanchéité entre la membrane et les guides, eux-mêmes fixés aux parois encadrant l'ouverture à protéger des inondations d'eau.Anti-flooding device which is characterized by its peripheral flanges which ensure sealing when put under air pressure between the membrane and the guides, themselves fixed to the walls framing the opening to be protected from water flooding.

Les boudins périphériques ne sont pas rapportés, ce qui les caractérisent C'est qu'il font partie intégrante de la membrane anti-inondation qui constitue l'étanchéité de l'ouverture à protéger, membrane et boudins périphériques ne forment qu'une seule et même pièce qui assure les étanchéités verticales et de sol par leur simple mise en pression d'air effectuée par le compresseur prévu à cet effet.The peripheral rolls are not added, what characterizes them is that they are an integral part of the anti-flooding membrane which constitutes the sealing of the opening to be protected, membrane and peripheral rolls form only one and same part which ensures the vertical and ground seals by simply putting them under air pressure by the compressor provided for this purpose.

Le compresseur d'air, mis automatiquement en marche selon instructions programmées se caractérise par ses deux principales fonctions ; mettre sous pression d'air les boudins pour qu'ils assurent une fois en pression l'étanchéité du dispositif, mais aussi les vider par aspiration de l'air qu'ils contiennent pour déverrouiller la barrière anti-inondation dès que le risque d'inondation a disparu.The air compressor, automatically started according to programmed instructions, is characterized by its two main functions; pressurize the tubes with air so that they seal the device once under pressure, but also empty them by suction of the air they contain to unlock the anti-flooding barrier as soon as the risk of flood disappeared.

Blocage au niveau du sol du dispositif anti-inondation ce qui le caractérise par le système de charnière longitudinale maintenue ouverte par ressort de faible force; les deux côtés des ailes de charnières s'écartent lors de la mise en pression d'air du boudin concerné bloquant ainsi au sol l'ensemble du dispositif; les sangles supports se tendent automatiquement par rotation du tambour selon les besoins définis.Blocking at ground level of the anti-flooding device which characterizes it by the longitudinal hinge system kept open by a low force spring; the two sides of the hinge wings move apart when the air pressure is applied to the coil concerned, thus blocking the entire device on the ground; the support straps are automatically tensioned by rotation of the drum according to the defined needs.

Dispositif anti-inondation qui se caractérise par son autonomie d'énergie électrique produite par sa propre centrale de cellules photovoltaïques en quantité suffisante pour son fonctionnement, sans aucun autre branchement ; cette indépendance électrique qui le caractérise supprime tous les risques dus à des coupures intempestives de courant des réseaux officiels distributeurs.Anti-flood device that is characterized by its autonomy of electrical energy produced by its own photovoltaic cell plant in sufficient quantity for its operation, without any other connection; this electrical independence that characterizes it eliminates all risks due to untimely power cuts from the official distribution networks.

La rotation du tambour descente/montée caractérisé par le choix de son moteur d'entrainement, de type Sunea-io ou équivalent utilise aussi io-contrôle, tout comme la caméra installée dans le caisson. Ce protocole de communication sans fil, universel, sécurisé, caractérise la gestion de l'ensemble du dispositif, permettant par smartphone de visionner la zone protégée, le niveau de l'eau, le dispositif anti-inondation en place.The rotation of the lowering/raising drum characterized by the choice of its drive motor, of the Sunea-io type or equivalent also uses io-control, just like the camera installed in the box. This universal, secure, wireless communication protocol characterizes the management of the entire device, allowing smartphones to view the protected area, the water level, the anti-flooding device in place.

    a) delimiting a safety zone around said building,
    b) monitoring the presence of an abnormal level of water in a zone of interest external both to said safety zone and to said building, and possibly
    c) retrieving rainfall data (quantity, spatial distribution) relating to a geographical region of interest, which is spatially larger than said safety zone, for n instants, with n being an integer strictly greater than 1, in order to estimate a flooding risk factor, and
    d) triggering each item of protective equipment when the onset of flooding is detected in said zone or region of interest.
  13. Protection method according to Claim 12, characterized in that each item of protective equipment of said building is triggered simultaneously.
  14. Protection method according to Claim 12 or 13, characterized in that, in step b), at least one of the following operations is carried out:
    - acquiring images of at least one zone of interest positioned outside said safety zone, analysing said images in order to detect therein the presence of an abnormal water level, such as a wave,
    - obtaining data relating to the presence of an abnormal water level in said zone of interest.
  15. Protection method according to Claim 14, characterized in that the data relating to the presence of an abnormal water level are determined on the basis of at least one detection means located at the threshold of the safety zone.
  16. Protection method according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the spatial extent of said safety zone is determined to ensure the full deployment of each item of protective equipment with which the building is equipped before said fluids arrive at the base of said building.
