Description

DISPOSITIF DE PROTECTION CONTRE L'ECOULEMENT DE FLUIDESPROTECTION AGAINST FLOW OF FLUIDS
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection contre l'écoulement de fluides.The present invention relates to a device for protection against the flow of fluids.
Elle concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif composé de plusieurs modules, destiné à être utilisé pour protéger des bâtiments ou des locaux contre les conséquences résultant de phénomènes tels que des inondations ou des coulées de boue.It relates more particularly to a device composed of several modules, intended to be used to protect buildings or premises against the consequences resulting from phenomena such as floods or mudslides.
Il est bien connu que des phénomènes d'inondation liés par exemple à des précipitations météorologiques importantes, ou à la montée des eaux en suite de crues ont des conséquences particulièrement gênantes et coûteuses pour les particuliers ou les industriels, dans la mesure où l'action de l'eau peut entraîner des dégradations irrémédiables aux bâtiments ou aux installations ou éléments de mobiliers présents dans les locaux.It is well known that flooding phenomena linked for example to significant meteorological precipitation, or to the rise of waters following floods have particularly troublesome and costly consequences for individuals or industrialists, insofar as the action water can cause irreparable damage to buildings or installations or furniture elements present on the premises.
On connaît divers moyens destinés à prévenir ou retarder les phénomènes d'écoulement ou d'épanchement à l'intérieur de bâtiments ou de locaux, consistant en fait à définir une sorte de périmètre de protection prévu pour contenir l'écoulement de l'eau ou des fluides.Various means are known for preventing or delaying the phenomena of flow or effusion inside buildings or premises, consisting in fact of defining a sort of protective perimeter intended to contain the flow of water or fluids.
Selon les techniques les plus rudimentaires, on entasse autour des zones à protéger des sacs de matériaux pulvérulents non coagulables, comme par exemple du sable.According to the most rudimentary techniques, bags of non-coagulable powder materials, such as sand, are piled up around the areas to be protected.
La superposition des différents sacs de matériaux pulvérulents, qui ont tendance à se comprimer à l'intérieur des contenants du fait de leur poids, permet de réaliser un barrage relativement efficace.The superposition of the various bags of pulverulent materials, which tend to compress inside the containers due to their weight, makes it possible to produce a relatively effective barrier.
Cette méthode présente cependant l'inconvénient d'être peu pratique et d'imposer la manipulation et le déplacement d'éléments relativement lourds. Elle est par ailleurs longue à mettre en œuvre et ne permet pas un démontage rapide et facile lorsque le risque d'inondation n'existe plus.However, this method has the disadvantage of being impractical and of requiring the manipulation and displacement of relatively heavy elements. It is also long to implement and does not allow quick and easy disassembly when the risk of flooding no longer exists.
Pour cette raison, on a cherché à réaliser des structures amovibles composées de différents éléments qui peuvent être facilement associés et dissociés de manière à former un barrage étanche contre l'écoulement des fluides.For this reason, we have sought to produce removable structures composed of different elements which can be easily associated and dissociated so as to form a tight barrier against the flow of fluids.
On connaît ainsi du document FR 2 488 300 une structure individuelle assemblable, prévue pour réaliser des batardeaux.Document FR 2 488 300 thus discloses an individual assemblable structure, provided for making cofferdams.
La structure décrite dans ce document comporte un profilé creux métallique fermé dont le pourtour est agencé pour définir une succession de saillies et de creux permettant l'emboîtement de profilés similaires pour former une paroi.The structure described in this document comprises a closed metal hollow profile, the periphery of which is arranged to define a succession of projections and recesses allowing the fitting of similar profiles to form a wall.
Cependant, même si ce système semble efficace lors de faibles crues, il risque de se révéler insuffisant lorsque la pression exercée sur la paroi est importante, par exemple en cas de montée rapide des eaux En effet, la structure même de ce dispositif ne permet d'envisager un jointage et une compression dans le plan vertical, et l'étanchéité à la base du dispositif ne sera pas totale notamment sur sol irrégulier.However, even if this system seems effective during light floods, it may prove to be insufficient when the pressure exerted on the wall is high, for example in the event of rapid rise in water. Indeed, the very structure of this device does not allow '' consider a joint and a compression in the vertical plane, and the seal at the base of the device will not be total especially on uneven ground.
Par ailleurs, le dispositif n'est pas modulable puisqu'une fois monté, il doit être placé dans un cadre de scellement, de telle sorte qu'il n'est pas possible d'adapter le dispositif soit en ajoutant des éléments soit en en retirant, ni de le déplacer ou d'en ajuster la position, sans démontage au moins partiel de l'ensemble.Furthermore, the device is not modular since once mounted, it must be placed in a sealing frame, so that it is not possible to adapt the device either by adding elements or by removing or moving it or adjusting its position, without at least partial disassembly of the assembly.
La demande de brevet européen 0 163 292 décrit un dispositif d'arrêt des eaux en crue qui est composé d'éléments longitudinaux emboîtés les uns sur les autres, chaque élément comportant dans sa partie inférieure une gorge conçue pour engager un rail formé sur la partie supérieure de l'élément situé en dessous. Selon la modalité décrite, les profilés sont superposés et solidarisés au moyen d'une pièce formant tire-fond. Ce dispositif ne peut valablement être utilisé que sur une surface plane et régulière. En effet, l'élément de base est posé sur une plaque ancrée dans le sol, et n'est pas maintenu en place au moyen d'un élément spécifique. Le dispositif ne comporte aucun moyen permettant de compenser d'éventuelles irrégularités de la surface d'implantation.European patent application 0 163 292 describes a device for stopping flood waters which is composed of longitudinal elements fitted one on top of the other, each element comprising in its lower part a groove designed to engage a rail formed on the part top of the element below. According to the method described, the profiles are superimposed and secured by means of a part forming a lag screw. This device can only be validly used on a flat and regular surface. Indeed, the basic element is placed on a plate anchored in the ground, and is not held in place by means of a specific element. The device has no means of compensating for any irregularities in the implantation surface.
Par ailleurs, ce dispositif n'est pas modulable, dans la mesure où il est nécessaire en raison de la présence de tire-fonds placés à demeure et d'un ancrage dans le sol, de prédéfinir les dimensions du panneau avant sa mise en place sans possibilité ultérieure d'adaptation ou de modification, sauf à complètement démonter le panneau et à en reprendre les dimensions.Furthermore, this device is not modular, insofar as it is necessary due to the presence of permanently installed lag bolts and an anchoring in the ground, to predefine the dimensions of the panel before its installation without subsequent possibility of adaptation or modification, except for completely dismantling the panel and resuming its dimensions.
Le document FR 2 601 054, décrit un barrage pour cours d'eau qui est composé d'un cadre et d'une porte verticale mobile composée de profilés creux métalliques présentant sur chaques côtés une succession d'épaulement et de creux. Ce barrage, qui est conçu pour être utilisé sur un cours d'eau, est composé d'un cadre formé d'un seuil associé à des montants verticaux, ce cadre étant scellé au sol et sur les côtés. L'étanchéité à la base du barrage est réalisée par insertion avant la pose d'un joint dans une gorge située à la base du premier profilé formant la porte verticale.Document FR 2 601 054 describes a dam for a watercourse which is composed of a frame and a movable vertical door composed of hollow metal profiles having on each side a succession of shoulders and hollows. This dam, which is designed to be used on a watercourse, is composed of a frame formed by a threshold associated with vertical uprights, this frame being sealed on the ground and on the sides. Sealing at the base of the dam is achieved by insertion before the installation of a seal in a groove located at the base of the first section forming the vertical door.
Cette solution n'est pas modulable ni adaptable à toute sorte de configuration. En effet, les dimensions du panneau formant barrage doivent être prédéfinies en fonction de la configuration des lieux, et plus particulièrement du lit et des rives du cours d'eau à équiper. Une mise en place rapide et modulable n'est donc pas possible,This solution is not modular or adaptable to any kind of configuration. Indeed, the dimensions of the dam panel must be predefined according to the configuration of the premises, and more particularly of the bed and the banks of the watercourse to be equipped. A rapid and flexible installation is therefore not possible,
Le document DE 196 49868 décrit également un panneau de protection constitué d'éléments emboîtés les uns sur les autres et engagés dans un profilé formant un cadre de support. Ce cadre est constitué d'une pièce de grande dimension en forme de « U » dont les deux branches verticales comportent un évidement prévu pour recevoir des éléments superposés composant le panneau. Les montants latéraux qui assurent le maintien en place des profilés formant le panneau ne sont pas indépendants ni dissociés de la partie formant seuil. Cette solution n'offre pas non plus une parfaite modularité du panneau, car il sera nécessaire une fois le phénomène d'écoulement de fluides terminé de démonter et retirer totalement la structure si l'on souhaite pouvoir dégager l'ouverture qui avait été protégée.Document DE 196 49868 also describes a protective panel made up of elements fitted one on top of the other and engaged in a profile forming a support frame. This frame consists of a large piece in the shape of a "U" whose two vertical branches have a recess provided for receiving superimposed elements making up the panel. The lateral uprights which hold the profiles forming the panel in place are neither independent nor dissociated from the threshold part. This solution also does not offer perfect modularity of the panel, because it will be necessary once the phenomenon of fluid flow is complete to disassemble and completely remove the structure if one wishes to be able to clear the opening which had been protected.
En effet, en raison de la structure du cadre décrit, une partie au moins de l'ouverture qui était protégée resterait obturée, même après retrait des profilés formant le panneau, en raison de la présence d'un élément de seuil de dimension importante et solidaire des montants latéraux.Indeed, due to the structure of the described frame, at least part of the opening which was protected would remain closed, even after removal of the profiles forming the panel, due to the presence of a threshold element of large dimension and secured to the side uprights.
La présente invention se propose de remédier aux inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus en réalisant un dispositif modulaire de protection contre l'écoulement de fluides, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte un panneau de protection réalisé au moyen de différents éléments de surface plane ne présentant aucune aspérité ni relief, et conçus pour s'encastrer les uns dans les autres.The present invention proposes to remedy the drawbacks mentioned above by providing a modular device for protection against the flow of fluids, characterized in that it comprises a protective panel produced by means of different planar surface elements having no roughness or relief, and designed to fit into each other.
Le dispositif comporte un joint de seuil qui est comprimé verticalement, et des joints latéraux qui sont comprimés horizontalement, de manière à assurer une parfaite étanchéité de l'ensemble.The device comprises a threshold seal which is compressed vertically, and side seals which are compressed horizontally, so as to ensure perfect sealing of the assembly.
Le dispositif selon la présente invention sera mieux compris en référence à un exemple de réalisation donné ci-après et aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :The device according to the present invention will be better understood with reference to an exemplary embodiment given below and to the accompanying drawings in which:
- la figure 1 est une coupe en section latérale d'un dispositif selon la présente invention,FIG. 1 is a section in side section of a device according to the present invention,
- la figure 2 est une vue du dessus d'un panneau de protection,FIG. 2 is a top view of a protective panel,
- la figure 3 est une vue du dessus d'une variante de réalisation d'un panneau de protection etFIG. 3 is a top view of an alternative embodiment of a protective panel and
- la figure 4 est une vue de face d'une extrémité du dispositif. La figure 1 permet de visualiser le principe général d'assemblage du dispositif selon l'invention.- Figure 4 is a front view of one end of the device. Figure 1 shows the general principle of assembly of the device according to the invention.
Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte un panneau (1) composé de différents éléments (2) conçus pour s'emboîter les uns dans les autres et maintenus en position grâce à deux glissières (3) latérales, positionnées sur les côtés de la zone ou de la structure à protéger.The device according to the invention comprises a panel (1) composed of different elements (2) designed to fit into each other and held in position by two lateral slides (3), positioned on the sides of the area or of the structure to be protected.
Le panneau (1) est réalisé à partir d'éléments longitudinaux (2) identiques qui sont associés les uns aux autres pour former un ensemble de dimension déterminée.The panel (1) is made from identical longitudinal elements (2) which are associated with each other to form a set of determined size.
Chaque élément (2) comporte sur sa partie inférieure une gorge longitudinale en U (12) et sur sa partie supérieure un épaulement (22) de dimension correspondante, couvrant également toute la longueur.Each element (2) has on its lower part a longitudinal U-shaped groove (12) and on its upper part a shoulder (22) of corresponding dimension, also covering the entire length.
On peut ainsi réaliser un assemblage de type mâle/femelle entre deux éléments (2) identiques, la gorge ou partie femelle (12) située sur la partie inférieure d'un élément (2) étant conçue pour recevoir par emboîtement ou coulissement l'épaulement ou partie mâle (22) de l'élément (2) qui est disposé immédiaterneht en dessous.It is thus possible to produce an assembly of the male / female type between two identical elements (2), the groove or female part (12) located on the lower part of an element (2) being designed to receive by interlocking or sliding the shoulder. or male part (22) of the element (2) which is arranged immediately below.
L'élément (2) situé à la base du panneau recevra sur toute sa longueur un bloc compressible (5), qui sera en contact direct avec le sol. Les dimensions et l'épaisseur du bloc (5) sont définies de manière à compenser les éventuelle irrégularités du sol ou du support.The element (2) located at the base of the panel will receive over its entire length a compressible block (5), which will be in direct contact with the ground. The dimensions and thickness of the block (5) are defined so as to compensate for any irregularities in the ground or the support.
La compression verticale est réalisée sous le seul effet de la pression exercée par les différents éléments (2) superposés pour constituer le panneau de protection (1).The vertical compression is carried out under the sole effect of the pressure exerted by the different elements (2) superimposed to constitute the protective panel (1).
Cette caractéristique est particulièrement importante. Grâce à la présence à la base du panneau d'un bloc compressible formant joint et en contact direct avec le sol, sans interposition d'éléments de seuil ou d'une base rigide, le dispositif pourra très facilement s'adapter à la configuration propre à chaque site à équiper. Les irrégularités ou déformations du sol seront absorbées et compensées du seul fait de la compression différenciée exercée sur le bloc compressible par suite de la superposition des différents profilés formant le panneau.This characteristic is particularly important. Thanks to the presence at the base of the panel of a compressible block forming a joint and in direct contact with the ground, without the interposition of threshold elements or a rigid base, the device can very easily adapt to its own configuration at each site to be equipped. Irregularities or deformations of the ground will be absorbed and compensated for solely by the differentiated compression exerted on the compressible block as a result of the superposition of the various profiles forming the panel.
D'une manière avantageuse, on pourra disposer un joint (4), par exemple par collage, sur toute la longueur de la partie mâle (22), afin d'assurer une parfaite étanchéité de l'assemblage lors de la mise en place de deux éléments (2) successifs.Advantageously, it will be possible to have a seal (4), for example by gluing, over the entire length of the male part (22), in order to ensure a perfect seal of the assembly during the installation of two successive elements (2).
Le dispositif comporte également deux glissières latérales (3) identiques qui sont disposées l'une face à l'autre de part et d'autre de l'ouverture à obturer.The device also comprises two identical side rails (3) which are arranged one opposite the other on either side of the opening to be closed.
Pour former un dispositif de protection selon l'invention, il suffit de disposer un panneau (1) constitué par assemblage de plusieurs éléments (2) comme décrit ci-dessus, et d'insérer l'ensemble par glissement à l'intérieur des deux glissières latérales (3) qui auront été fixées au préalable sur les montants de l'ouverture à obturer.To form a protection device according to the invention, it suffices to have a panel (1) formed by assembling several elements (2) as described above, and to insert the assembly by sliding inside the two side rails (3) which will have been fixed beforehand on the uprights of the opening to be closed.
II est précisé qu'il s'agit là de la seule intervention d'emprise à effectuer sur la structure entourant l'ouverture à obturer, la fixation pouvant être effectuée par vissage, rivetage ou tout autre moyen approprié.It is specified that this is the only intervention to be carried out on the structure surrounding the opening to be closed, the fixing being able to be carried out by screwing, riveting or any other suitable means.
Les glissières latérales (3) sont composées d'un profilé (13) en U dont la partie de fond est tournée vers l'extérieur dans le plan perpendiculaire à celui de l'ouverture à obturer, de manière à former une butée pour le panneau (1) qui y sera inséré par glissement.The side rails (3) are composed of a U-shaped profile (13), the bottom part of which faces outward in the plane perpendicular to that of the opening to be closed, so as to form a stop for the panel. (1) which will be inserted there by sliding.
Le profilé en U (13) présente en section une dimension supérieure à l'épaisseur des éléments (2) du panneau (1), ce qui laisse donc subsister un espace entre les ailes latérales dudit profilé et les parois desdits éléments.The U-shaped profile (13) has in section a dimension greater than the thickness of the elements (2) of the panel (1), which therefore leaves a space between the lateral wings of said profile and the walls of said elements.
On utilise cet espace pour disposer des moyens et un joint latéral, permettant d'assurer une compression latérale du dispositif. Selon une première forme de réalisation représentée à la figure 2, un rail porte joint (6) vertical prévu pour recevoir un joint (16) engagé est monté sur l'aile arrière du profilé (13), pour assurer l'étanchéité entre l'extrémité de la paroi arrière du panneau (1) et le montant de la structure à protéger.This space is used to have the means and a lateral seal, making it possible to ensure lateral compression of the device. According to a first embodiment shown in FIG. 2, a vertical seal carrier rail (6) designed to receive an engaged seal (16) is mounted on the rear wing of the profile (13), to ensure the seal between the end of the rear wall of the panel (1) and the amount of the structure to be protected.
Selon une deuxième forme de réalisation représentée à la figure 3, on réalise l'étanchéité à l'avant du dispositif, c'est-à-dire entre la paroi avant du panneau (1) et l'aile correspondante du profilé (13), par interposition d'un joint de type joint de carrosserie (7), c'est-à-dire présentant un double tube dont l'un est ouvert.According to a second embodiment shown in Figure 3, the seal is made at the front of the device, that is to say between the front wall of the panel (1) and the corresponding wing of the profile (13) , by interposing a joint of bodywork type (7), that is to say having a double tube, one of which is open.
Le tube ouvert du joint (7) est engagé par simple clipsage sur l'extrémité de l'aile avant du profilé (13), et sa partie libre formée par le tube fermé vient combler sur l'arrière l'espacement résiduel entre l'aile avant du profilé et la paroi avant du panneau (1), pour ainsi assurer à la fois le maintien et l'étanchéité de l'ensemble.The open tube of the seal (7) is engaged by simple clipping on the end of the front wing of the profile (13), and its free part formed by the closed tube fills in the rear the residual space between the front wing of the profile and the front wall of the panel (1), thereby ensuring both the maintenance and sealing of the assembly.
Il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir des modalités de fixation complémentaires, tels que par exemple un collage.It is not necessary to provide additional fixing methods, such as for example a bonding.
La compression pourra être réalisée par tous moyens appropriés permettant de plaquer le panneau (1) contre la glissière (3) en comprimant les joints latéraux (7) ou (16) selon la variante utilisée.The compression may be carried out by any suitable means allowing the panel (1) to be pressed against the slide (3) by compressing the side seals (7) or (16) according to the variant used.
Selon une forme de réalisation avantageuse représentée à la figure 4, on utilisera un ou plusieurs fermoirs de type glissière (8) disposés à chaque extrémité latérale du panneau.According to an advantageous embodiment shown in FIG. 4, one or more slide-type clasps (8) will be used, arranged at each lateral end of the panel.
Selon une variante de réalisation, les glissières latérales (3) peuvent être disposées à l'intérieur du chambranle de l'ouverture à obturer.According to an alternative embodiment, the lateral slides (3) can be arranged inside the frame of the opening to be closed.
Selon une forme de réalisation avantageuse, chaque élément (2) comporte au moins une poignée (10) s'étendant sur au moins un de ses côtés, afin de permettre de déplacer facilement le panneau (1) ou séparément les éléments qui le composent, le poids maximum de chaque élément étant de 25 kg. On peut ainsi réaliser des panneaux qui assureront une compression équilibrée sur trois côtés, garantissant ainsi une parfaite étanchéité.According to an advantageous embodiment, each element (2) comprises at least one handle (10) extending over at least one of its sides, in order to allow the panel (1) to be easily moved or the elements which compose it to be separated, the maximum weight of each element being 25 kg. It is thus possible to produce panels which will ensure balanced compression on three sides, thus guaranteeing a perfect seal.
Le nombre d'éléments utilisés, de même que leur dimension en épaisseur ou en largeur peuvent varier en fonction des hauteurs d'eau ou des caractéristiques dimensionnelles des ouvertures à protéger.The number of elements used, as well as their thickness or width dimension may vary depending on the water heights or the dimensional characteristics of the openings to be protected.
Le dispositif selon l'invention a pour principal avantage de limiter au strict minimum les travaux d'emprise, et donc de ne pas imposer de modification de structure, tout en maintenant la possibilité d'une mise en place et d'un démontage ultérieur à la fois simple et rapide.The main advantage of the device according to the invention is that it limits the right-of-way works to the strict minimum, and therefore does not impose any structural modification, while maintaining the possibility of installation and subsequent disassembly at both simple and fast.
Le dispositif revendiqué n'est pas limité au mode de réalisation décrit ci- dessus, lequel pourra faire l'objet de toute modification évidente pour l'homme de l'art sans que l'on sorte du cadre de l'invention. En particulier, tant les dimensions que les matériaux utilisés pourront être modifié sans que cela ne remette en cause les caractéristiques essentielles du dispositif selon l'invention. The claimed device is not limited to the embodiment described above, which may be subject to any modification obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, both the dimensions and the materials used can be modified without this jeopardizing the essential characteristics of the device according to the invention.
