Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne dispositif de stockage et de délivrance de fluide ainsi que son utilisation. The present invention relates to fluid storage and delivery device and its use.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif de stockage et de délivrance de fluide, notamment de gaz comprimé et/ou liquéfié, comprenant un récipient pourvu d'un orifice à l'une de ses extrémités, une valve montée dans l'orifice du récipient et une collerette de préhension montée autour d'une partie du récipient et de la valve, la collerette étant montée libre en rotation relativement à l'ensemble constitué par le récipient et la valve. L'invention concerne notamment les recharges de gaz comprimé ou liquéfié distribuées par un réseau grand public. De telles recharges peuvent avoir un volume géométrique compris, par exemple, entre 0,3 litre et 1,5 litre. Une recharge de gaz sous pression est en général un objet globalement cylindrique dont une extrémité de section ogivale comprend un moyen de raccordement permettant la connexion à un système receveur/utilisateur utilisant le contenu de la recharge. Un tel récipient peut présenter des risques associés à l'emploi de gaz du fait de la pression (risque d'explosion, de projection violente de pièces, réfrigération extrême résultant de la détente) ainsi que du fait de la nature du gaz (anoxie, intoxication, incendie pour les gaz combustible ou oxydants). De plus, le récipient par lui-même peut présenter des dangers en cas de chute pendant l'utilisation ainsi que pendant le transport. Par ailleurs, des confusions de gaz utilisés peuvent se produire en particulier dans le domaine des loisirs où des bricolages hasardeux sont toujours possibles (risques de démontages intempestifs également). Tous ces risques sont bien maîtrisés dans les applications professionnelles en respectant des normes de construction et en appliquant des procédures de manipulation et de mise enœ vre appropriées. En revanche dans le cas d'utilisation par des personnes non formées et malgré la mise enîuvre d'avertissements et recommandations, les risques demeurent. Un but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif de stockage adapté à ces applications et palliant tout ou partie des inconvénients. The invention relates more particularly to a device for storing and delivering fluid, especially compressed and / or liquefied gas, comprising a container provided with an orifice at one of its ends, a valve mounted in the orifice of the container. and a gripping flange mounted around a portion of the container and the valve, the flange being rotatably mounted relative to the assembly consisting of the container and the valve. The invention relates in particular to refills of compressed or liquefied gas distributed by a general public network. Such refills can have a geometric volume of, for example, between 0.3 liter and 1.5 liter. A pressurized gas refill is generally a generally cylindrical object having an end of ogival section includes connection means for connection to a receiver / user system using the contents of the refill. Such a container may present risks associated with the use of gas due to the pressure (risk of explosion, violent projection of parts, extreme refrigeration resulting from the relaxation) as well as due to the nature of the gas (anoxia, intoxication, fire for combustible or oxidative gases). In addition, the container itself may present dangers in the event of a fall during use as well as during transport. In addition, confusion of gas used can occur especially in the field of recreation where hazardous crafts are still possible (risk of accidental dismantling as well). All of these risks are well controlled in professional applications by adhering to building standards and applying appropriate handling and commissioning procedures. However, in the case of use by untrained persons and despite the implementation of warnings and recommendations, the risks remain. An object of the invention is to provide a storage device adapted to these applications and overcoming all or part of the disadvantages.

The invention also relates to a use of a fluid storage and delivery device according to any of the above or below features in which the device is selectively connected to a fluid receiving system of the container, the receiving system comprising a receiving housing conjugate or complementary to the specific shape of the collar. The invention may also relate to any alternative device or method comprising any combination of the above or below features. Other features and advantages will appear on reading the description below, with reference to the figures in which: - Figure 1 shows an assembly comprising a gas container and a valve, before mounting a collar according to the FIG. 2 represents a perspective view of a device according to a first exemplary embodiment of the invention, FIG. 3 represents a top view of the device of FIG. 2, FIG. perspective of a part of a device according to a second embodiment of the invention. Referring to Figure 1, the device comprises a container 1 (or refill) for example cylindrical, flat-bottomed and having an end ogive. The container 1 is preferably stocky to ensure good vertical stability. The container 1 is equipped with a valve 2, for example of the quick-coupling type and geometrical keying. The valve 2 is optionally equipped with a liquid antiretour device. Reference may be made, for example to the (non-limiting) examples of the following documents EP1170533, EP1387977.
La valve 2 à raccord rapide permet une connexion aisée à un système receveur ainsi qu'à système de remplissage (non représentés). Selon l'invention, l'ensemble récipient 1 et valve 2 est complété par une collerette 3 (figure 2 et suivantes). La collerette 3 est montée tournante relativement à l'ensemble récipient 1/valve 2. De préférence, la collerette 3 peut tourner lorsqu'elle est soumise à un effort de rotation limité (couple de rotation de l'ordre de 0,1mN par exemple ou moins. On peut envisager également que la rotation de la collerette 3 relativement à l'ensemble récipient 1/valve 2 nécessite un couple de rotation supérieur à 0,1mN tout en étant inférieur ou couple nécessaire au démontage de la valve 2 relativement au récipient 1). Le couple minimum permettant la rotation de la collerette 3 est prévu pour empêcher une rotation libre et spontanée de la collerette 3 par rapport à l'ensemble récipient 1 et valve 2. La collerette 3 est fixée sur le col 22 du récipient 1 et/ou sur une partie cylindrique (ou autre) de la valve 2. The quick-connect valve 2 allows easy connection to a receiving system as well as a filling system (not shown). According to the invention, the entire container 1 and valve 2 is completed by a flange 3 (Figure 2 and following). The flange 3 is rotatably mounted relative to the container assembly 1 / valve 2. Preferably, the flange 3 can rotate when it is subjected to a limited rotational force (torque of the order of 0.1mN for example or less It can also be envisaged that the rotation of the flange 3 relative to the container 1 / valve 2 assembly requires a torque greater than 0.1mN while being lower or the necessary torque for the disassembly of the valve 2 relative to the container 1). The minimum torque allowing rotation of the flange 3 is provided to prevent a free and spontaneous rotation of the flange 3 relative to the entire container 1 and valve 2. The flange 3 is fixed on the neck 22 of the container 1 and / or on a cylindrical part (or other) of the valve 2.
La collerette 3 peut être fixée par emboîtement élastique et/ou via un élément de fixation tel qu'un Circlips, un anneau fendu ou équivalent. La figure 1 illustre à ce titre une gorge 32 formée dans le col 22 pour la réception d'un tel élément de fixation. The flange 3 may be fixed by elastic interlocking and / or via a fastening element such as a circlip, a split ring or the like. Figure 1 illustrates as such a groove 32 formed in the neck 22 for receiving such a fastener.
La collerette 3 est conformée pour recouvrir et de préférence cacher les parties non cylindriques (hexagone, méplats, ...) de la valve 2 servant à passer un couple de serrage à la valve 2 dans l'orifice du récipient 1. Ceci permet de limiter les risques de démontage intempestif de la valve 2. The flange 3 is shaped to cover and preferably hide the non-cylindrical parts (hexagon, flats, ...) of the valve 2 serving to pass a tightening torque to the valve 2 in the orifice of the container 1. This allows to limit the risk of inadvertent disassembly of the valve 2.
Cette particularité permet également d'utiliser sans risque des moyens de serrage de la valve 2 relativement simples et standards tels qu'une clef classique. Une telle structure permet une économie dans l'usinage de la valve et dans l'achat des outillages correspondants. Du fait de la possibilité de rotation de la collerette 3 par rapport à la valve 2, un couple de rotation appliqué à la collerette 3 ne risque pas de conduire au dévissage de la valve 2 du récipient. De préférence, selon un plan transversal à la direction V verticale (longitudinale) du récipient 1, la collerette 3 a une forme prévue pour former un obstacle au libre roulage du récipient 1 couché. This feature also makes it possible to safely use relatively simple and standard valve clamping means 2 such as a conventional key. Such a structure allows a saving in the machining of the valve and in the purchase of corresponding tools. Due to the possibility of rotation of the collar 3 relative to the valve 2, a torque applied to the collar 3 does not risk leading to the unscrewing of the valve 2 of the container. Preferably, in a plane transverse to the vertical direction V (longitudinal) of the container 1, the flange 3 has a shape provided to form an obstacle to the free rolling of the coated container 1.
Selon l'exemple des figures 2 et 3 la collerette 3 forme transversalement des lobes 13 qui font saillie transversalement par rapport au volume du récipient 1. Dans la réalisation de la figure 4, des excroissances (quatre dans l'exemple représenté) sont formées à la base inférieure de la collerette 3. Les parties 13 en saillie de la collerette 3 peuvent avantageusement rester à l'intérieur d'une l'enveloppe de section carrée dans la quelle s'inscrit le récipient 1. Ceci permet d'emballer le dispositif dans un carton de section carrée de même taille que si le récipient 1 n'était pas équipé d'une collerette 3. La collerette 3 peut faciliter la préhension du dispositif. Avantageusement la collerette 3 peut être constituée d'au moins deux matières distinctes. Par exemple la face extérieure de la collerette 3 (vers l'utilisateur) peut être plus rugueuse ou présente un coefficient de frottement plus élevé. Ceci peut être réalisé par une substance élastomère sur la face extérieur (vers l'utilisateur). La collerette 3 peut avoir une couleur et/ou une forme particulières déterminées en fonction du type de recharge (nature de gaz, pression, application, type de receveur, etc...). According to the example of FIGS. 2 and 3, the flange 3 forms transversely lobes 13 which protrude transversely with respect to the volume of the container 1. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, excrescences (four in the example shown) are formed at the lower base of the flange 3. The parts 13 projecting from the flange 3 may advantageously remain inside a square section of envelope in which is inscribed the container 1. This allows to pack the device in a carton of square section of the same size as if the container 1 was not equipped with a flange 3. The flange 3 can facilitate the gripping of the device. Advantageously, the collar 3 may consist of at least two different materials. For example the outer face of the flange 3 (towards the user) may be rougher or has a higher coefficient of friction. This can be achieved by an elastomeric substance on the outer face (towards the user). The flange 3 may have a particular color and / or shape determined according to the type of refill (nature of gas, pressure, application, type of receiver, etc ...).
La collerette 3 peut être réalisée au moins partiellement dans une matière synthétique peu conductrice de la chaleur, permettant de manipuler sans risque un récipient refroidi par la détente d'une quantité important de gaz (usage intensif de CO2 par exemple) ou un récipient chauffé par le remplissage rapide. The flange 3 can be made at least partially in a synthetic material that is not very heat-conductive, making it possible to safely handle a container cooled by the expansion of a large quantity of gas (intensive use of CO2 for example) or a container heated by fast filling.
La collerette 3 peut être réalisée en matière plastique. La collerette 3 peut inclure un dispositif d'information à radiofréquence (tel du type RFID ) pour permettre d'assurer la traçabilité du récipient 1 et/ou de son contenu. Un plastique constitutif de la collerette 3 peut par exemple isoler le récepteur/émetteur RFID du corps métallique du récipient 1 pour garantie un meilleur fonctionnement du récepteur/émetteur RFID. La collerette 3 peut être remplacée lors d'opérations de maintenance par une collerette 3 neuve identique ou différente en fonction de l'application. Tout en étant de structure simple et peu coûteuse, l'invention présente de nombreux avantages, notamment : - elle permet de rendre facilement reconnaissable un récipient de gaz pour éviter toute erreur sur la nature et/ ou la pression du gaz apporté à un système receveur, - le dispositif est réutilisable, facile à entretenir, à nettoyer et à remplir, - elle limite les risques de démontage intempestif de la valve - elle présente une ergonomie intéressante (préhension, position stable couchée malgré une collerette rotative). L'invention peut s'appliquer notamment aux recharges de gaz pour systèmes et machine de carbonatation de boisson, de moussage de crèmes, d'aquariophilie, de gonflage de ballons, de soudage, brasage ou autre. Enfin, la collerette peut présenter d'autres formes dans le cadre des revendications ci-après. The flange 3 can be made of plastic. The collar 3 may include a radiofrequency information device (such as the RFID type) to enable traceability of the container 1 and / or its contents. A constituent plastic of the flange 3 can for example isolate the RFID receiver / transmitter from the metal body of the container 1 to ensure better operation of the RFID receiver / transmitter. The collar 3 can be replaced during maintenance operations by a new collar 3 identical or different depending on the application. While being of simple and inexpensive structure, the invention has many advantages, in particular: it makes it possible to make a gas container easily recognizable so as to avoid any error as to the nature and / or the pressure of the gas supplied to a receiving system - the device is reusable, easy to maintain, clean and fill, - it reduces the risk of inadvertent disassembly of the valve - it has an interesting ergonomics (grip, stable position lying despite a rotating collar). The invention can be applied in particular to gas refills for beverage carbonation and machine systems, cream foaming, aquarium, balloon inflation, welding, brazing or other. Finally, the collar may have other forms within the scope of the claims below.
