Description

Un appareil de fixation de tampon à piston propulsé par gaz comprimé est alimenté en gaz comprimé, constitué généralement d'un mélange de butane et de propane, à partir d'une cartouche de carburant contenant, dans une enveloppe intérieure, le gaz comprimé à l'état liquide, appelé "carburant" par l'homme de l'art. Outre le carburant, la cartouche contient, entre l'enveloppe intérieure et une enveloppe extérieure, un propulseur constitué d'un mélange d'azote, de butane et de propane à l'état gazeux et destiné aussi à maintenir le carburant à l'état liquide. Un embout d'éjection mâle est relié à l'enveloppe intérieure et fait saillie hors de l'enveloppe extérieure.A piston buffer fixture powered by compressed gas is supplied with compressed gas, generally consisting of a mixture of butane and propane, from a fuel cartridge containing, in an inner envelope, the compressed gas in the liquid state, called "fuel" by those skilled in the art. Besides the fuel, the cartridge contains, between the inner envelope and an outer envelope, a propellant consisting of a mixture of nitrogen, butane and propane to the gaseous state and also intended to maintain the fuel in the liquid state. A male ejection nozzle is connected to the inner casing and projects out of the outer envelope.

A chaque tir de tampon, une dose déterminée de gaz comprimé est injectée depuis la cartouche de carburant dans une chambre de combustion de l'appareil de fixation, le dosage n'étant maítrisé que si le gaz comprimé est dosé à l'état liquide.Each time a tampon is fired, a fixed dose of compressed gas is injected from the fuel cartridge into a combustion of the fixing device, the dosage being controlled only if the compressed gas is dosed in the liquid state.

Pour doser le gaz comprimé injecté dans la chambre de combustion, certains appareils de fixation, tels que celui du document EP-0775 553A1, comprennent une électrovanne comportant un embout femelle d'admission de gaz comprimé, avec joint intégré, agencé pour recevoir l'embout d'éjection mâle de la cartouche de carburant, le joint étant destiné à assurer l'étanchéité du raccord entre les deux embouts. Pour chaque injection de carburant, on ouvre l'électrovanne pendant une durée déterminée et, l'embout d'admission de l'électrovanne ayant une section déterminée, on dose ainsi le carburant. Pour prévenir les éventuelles fuites de carburant, il conviendrait de changer régulièrement le joint assurant l'étanchéité du raccord électrovanne-cartouche. Or, il s'avère que changer un tel joint est une opération compliquée qui, en pratique, n'est jamais effectuée.To dose the compressed gas injected into the combustion chamber, certain fixing devices, such as that of document EP-0775 553A1, include a solenoid valve with a female inlet nozzle compressed gas, with integrated seal, arranged to receive the nozzle male ejection of the fuel cartridge, the seal being intended for seal the connection between the two ends. For each fuel injection, the solenoid valve is opened for a period determined and, the inlet nozzle of the solenoid valve having a cross section determined, the fuel is thus metered. To prevent possible fuel leaks, the seal should be changed regularly sealing the solenoid valve-cartridge connection. Now it turns out that changing such a seal is a complicated operation which, in practice, is never performed.

L'invention propose de faciliter l'opération consistant à changer le joint d'étanchéité du raccord entre la cartouche de carburant et l'électrovanne d'admission du gaz comprimé dans l'appareil.The invention proposes to facilitate the operation consisting in changing the seal. seal of the connection between the fuel cartridge and the solenoid valve compressed gas inlet into the appliance.

A cet effet, l'invention concerne un raccord pour, d'une part, un embout d'éjection mâle d'une cartouche de carburant destinée à alimenter en gaz comprimé un appareil de fixation à gaz comprimé et, d'autre part, un embout d'admission d'un dispositif d'admission de gaz comprimé dans l'appareil, comportant des moyens d'étanchéité destinés à assurer l'étanchéité du raccord entre les deux embouts, caractérisé par le fait que, l'embout du dispositif d'admission de gaz comprimé étant également un embout mâle, le raccord comporte un porte-joint femelle agencé pour recevoir les deux embouts mâles et les moyens d'étanchéité sont agencés pour s'étendre de part et d'autre du plan de joint des deux embouts mâles.To this end, the invention relates to a connector for, on the one hand, a nozzle. male ejection of a fuel cartridge intended to supply gas compressed a compressed gas fastener and, on the other hand, a inlet nozzle of a compressed gas inlet device in the apparatus, comprising sealing means intended to ensure the tightness of the connection between the two end pieces, characterized in that, the nozzle of the compressed gas intake device also being a male end piece, the connector includes a female seal holder arranged to receive the two male ends and the sealing means are arranged to extend on either side of the joint plane of the two male end pieces.

L'invention consiste donc à avoir délocalisé le joint qui n'est plus intégré dans l'embout d'admission comme dans l'art antérieur, mais porté par un porte-joint que l'on peut sans difficulté changer à chaque changement de cartouche de carburant.The invention therefore consists in having relocated the seal which is no longer integrated in the intake nozzle as in the prior art, but carried by a seal holder that can easily be changed with each change of fuel cartridge.

En fait, l'invention concerne un raccord destiné à raccorder deux embouts, comprenant des moyens d'étanchéité, caractérisé par le fait que, les deux embouts étant mâles, il comprend un porte-joint femelle agencé pour recevoir les deux embouts mâles et les moyens d'étanchéité sont agencés pour s'étendre de part et d'autre du plan de joint des deux embouts mâles.In fact, the invention relates to a connector intended to connect two end caps, comprising sealing means, characterized in that, the two end pieces being male, it comprises a female joint holder arranged to receive the two male ends and the sealing means are arranged to extend on either side of the joint plane of the two male end caps.

Les moyens d'étanchéité peuvent comprendre un joint en forme de manchon agencé pour entourer les deux embouts mâles.The sealing means may comprise a seal in the form of sleeve arranged to surround the two male end pieces.

Dans ce cas, le joint peut comprendre un gorge interne de rétention de gaz de fuite.In this case, the seal may include an internal groove for retaining leakage gas.

Ainsi, en cas de fuite, seul un volume réduit de gaz est perdu.Thus, in the event of a leak, only a reduced volume of gas is lost.

Les moyens d'étanchéité peuvent également comprendre deux joints toriques respectivement destinés à entourer les deux embouts mâles.The sealing means may also include two seals O-rings respectively intended to surround the two male end pieces.

Avantageusement, le porte-joint est agencé pour guider les deux embouts mâles de façon à les faire s'aboucher l'un à l'autre.Advantageously, the seal holder is arranged to guide the two end pieces males so as to make them kiss each other.

Grâce à cela, il suffit d'introduire les deux embouts à raccorder dans le porte-joint pour les raccorder. Thanks to this, it suffices to introduce the two ends to be connected in the seal holder to connect them.

Avantageusement encore, le porte-joint comprend des moyens de fixation sur la cartouche de carburant.Advantageously also, the seal holder comprises fixing means on the fuel cartridge.

La cartouche de carburant comprenant une margelle, les moyens de fixation peuvent comprendre au moins deux jambes à crochet agencées pour être clipsées sur la margelle de la cartouche.The fuel cartridge comprising a coping, the means for attachment may include at least two hooked legs arranged to be clipped onto the edge of the cartridge.

L'invention concerne également un ensemble comprenant une cartouche de carburant et un équipement de raccord tel que celui défini ci-dessus, dans lequel l'équipement de raccord est solidaire de la cartouche de carburant.The invention also relates to an assembly comprising a cartridge. fuel and connection equipment such as that defined above, in which the connection equipment is integral with the cartridge of fuel.

Dans l'exemple particulier de la description, le raccord est destiné à raccorder une électrovanne 30 d'admission du gaz comprimé dans la chambre de combustion de l'appareil de fixation et la cartouche de gaz comprimé 20.In the particular example of the description, the connector is intended for connect a solenoid valve 30 for admitting the compressed gas into the combustion chamber of the fixing device and the gas cartridge tablet 20.

La cartouche 20, de forme générale cylindrique, comprend, dans une enveloppe intérieure, le gaz comprimé à l'état liquide, appelé "carburant" par l'homme du métier, et, entre l'enveloppe intérieure et une enveloppe extérieure, un propulseur. Une margelle circulaire 21 s'étend dans le prolongement de la paroi cylindrique extérieure de la cartouche 20, à l'une des extrémités de celle-ci. Un embout d'éjection mâle 23, relié à l'enveloppe intérieure, fait saillie hors de la cartouche, par une embase 24 située au centre du cercle décrit par la margelle 21.The cartridge 20, of generally cylindrical shape, comprises, in a inner envelope, compressed gas in liquid state, called "fuel" by a person skilled in the art, and between the inner envelope and an envelope exterior, a propellant. A circular coping 21 extends in the extension of the outer cylindrical wall of the cartridge 20, one end of it. A male ejection nozzle 23, connected to the inner envelope, protruding from the cartridge, by a base 24 located in the center of the circle described by the coping 21.

L'électrovanne 30, de forme générale cylindrique, comprend un conduit d'admission 31 communiquant, à l'une de ses extrémités, avec un embout d'admission 32, avec interposition d'un filtre 33, et, à son autre extrémité, avec une chambre de dosage 34. L'électrovanne 30 comporte également un conduit d'échappement 35, relié à l'une de ses extrémités à un embout d'échappement 36 et, à son autre extrémité, à la chambre de dosage 34. Les conduits d'admission 31 et d'échappement 35 débouchent dans la chambre de dosage 34 respectivement par deux orifices disposés en regard l'un de l'autre.The solenoid valve 30, of generally cylindrical shape, comprises a conduit intake 31 communicating, at one of its ends, with a nozzle intake 32, with interposition of a filter 33, and at its other end, with a metering chamber 34.

In addition, the two legs 5, 6 are each provided, at their free end, with a hook intended to hang on the inner wall of the coping 21.

La base d'appui 2 comprend deux paires de doigts d'appui 7-10, s'étendant dans la plan de la base 2. Les deux doigts 7-8 (9-10) de chaque paire sont situés de part et d'autre de l'extrémité de liaison de l'une des jambes de fixation 5, (6) avec la base 2, au delà du plan dans lequel s'étend la jambe 5 (6) par rapport à l'axe 15.The support base 2 comprises two pairs of support fingers 7-10, extending in the plane of the base 2. The two fingers 7-8 (9-10) of each pair are located on either side of the connecting end of one of the fixing legs 5, (6) with the base 2, beyond the plane in which extends leg 5 (6) relative to axis 15.

Le joint 11 logé dans la cheminée 3 présente ici une forme de manchon et ménage une gorge interne 12 de rétention de gaz de fuite. Le joint 11 est bloqué entre le bord d'extrémité libre rabattu 4 de la cheminée 3 et une bague de maintien 13 introduite dans la cheminée 3 par son ouverture à travers la base d'appui 2. La bague de maintien 13 comprend une paroi interne 14 ayant une portion de forme tronconique s'évasant vers l'extérieur de la cheminée, destinée à faciliter le guidage de l'embout d'éjection 23 de la cartouche de carburant 20 lors de son introduction dans la cheminée 3, et une autre portion 14', adjacente au joint 11, de forme cylindrique, avec une section sensiblement égale à celle de l'embout d'éjection 23, et destinée à guider et à maintenir l'embout 23.The seal 11 housed in the chimney 3 has here a form of sleeve and provides an internal groove 12 for leakage gas retention. Seal 11 is blocked between the folded free end edge 4 of the chimney 3 and a retaining ring 13 introduced into the chimney 3 by its opening at through the support base 2. The retaining ring 13 comprises a wall internal 14 having a frustoconical portion flaring towards the outside of the chimney, intended to facilitate the guidance of the nozzle ejection 23 of the fuel cartridge 20 during its introduction in the chimney 3, and another portion 14 ', adjacent to the joint 11, of cylindrical shape, with a section substantially equal to that of the ejection nozzle 23, and intended to guide and maintain the nozzle 23.

Le raccordement de l'embout d'admission 32 de l'électrovanne 30 et de l'embout d'éjection 23 de la cartouche de carburant 20 va maintenant être décrit. The connection of the inlet nozzle 32 of the solenoid valve 30 and of the ejection nozzle 23 of the fuel cartridge 20 will now be described.

Afin de monter le raccord sur la cartouche de carburant 20, on insère les jambes de fixation 5, 6 à l'intérieur de la margelle 21 de la cartouche 20, jusqu'à ce que les doigts d'appui 7-10 viennent buter contre la margelle 21. Les crochets des jambes 5, 6 s'accrochent, se clipsent, sur la paroi intérieure de la margelle 21. Dans cette position, la bague 13 fait légèrement saillie hors de la cheminée 3 et est en appui contre l'embase 24, en assurant ainsi le maintien du joint 11 en position à l'intérieur de la cheminée 3.In order to mount the fitting on the fuel cartridge 20, insert the fixing legs 5, 6 inside the coping 21 of the cartridge 20, until the supporting fingers 7-10 abut against the coping 21. The hooks of the legs 5, 6 hang, clip, on the wall inside of the coping 21. In this position, the ring 13 is slightly protruding from the chimney 3 and bears against the base 24, thereby ensuring that the seal 11 is held in position inside the chimney 3.

Lors de la fixation du raccord sur la cartouche 20, l'embout d'éjection 23 de la cartouche 20 est guidé dans la cheminée 3 par la paroi interne 14, 14' de la bague de maintien 13.When fixing the connector on the cartridge 20, the ejection nozzle 23 the cartridge 20 is guided into the chimney 3 by the internal wall 14, 14 'of the retaining ring 13.

Puis on introduit la cheminée 3 du raccord dans la douille 40 de l'électrovanne 30, jusqu'à ce que le bord d'extrémité libre de la douille 40 vienne buter contre la base d'appui 2 du raccord. Lors de l'introduction de la cheminée 3 du raccord dans la douille 40, l'embout d'admission mâle 32 de l'électrovanne 30 est guidé dans la cheminée 3 par le bord d'extrémité rabattu 4.Then the chimney 3 of the fitting is introduced into the socket 40 of the solenoid valve 30, until the free end edge of the sleeve 40 abuts against the support base 2 of the connector. During the introduction of the chimney 3 of the fitting in the socket 40, the intake nozzle male 32 of the solenoid valve 30 is guided in the chimney 3 by the edge folded end 4.

Les deux embouts mâles 23, 32, guidés dans la cheminée 3, viennent s'aboucher l'un à l'autre et le joint 11 entoure les deux embouts 23, 32 en s'étendant de part et d'autre du plan de joint des deux embouts 23, 32.The two male ends 23, 32, guided in the chimney 3, come join together and the seal 11 surrounds the two end pieces 23, 32 in extending on either side of the joint plane of the two end pieces 23, 32.

Au repos, le joint obturateur 38 de l'électrovanne 30 est en position d'admission. Dans cette position, du gaz comprimé s'échappe de la cartouche de carburant 20 par l'embout d'éjection 23, pénètre dans l'électrovanne 30 par l'embout d'admission 32 et remplit la chambre de dosage 34, après passage à travers le filtre 33 et dans le conduit d'admission 31.At rest, the obturator seal 38 of the solenoid valve 30 is in position of admission. In this position, compressed gas escapes from the fuel cartridge 20 through the ejection nozzle 23, enters the solenoid valve 30 by the inlet nozzle 32 and fills the chamber with dosage 34, after passing through the filter 33 and into the conduit admission 31.

Le joint 11 assure l'étanchéité du raccord des deux embouts 23, 32. En cas d'une éventuelle fuite de gaz, celui-ci vient se loger dans la gorge interne 12 du joint qui, de toute façon, est de volume limité.The seal 11 seals the connection of the two end pieces 23, 32. In in case of a possible gas leak, it comes to lodge in the throat internal 12 of the seal which, in any case, is of limited volume.

Afin d'alimenter la chambre de combustion de l'appareil de fixation en gaz comprimé, on relie l'embout d'échappement 36 à la chambre de combustion. On actionne l'électro-aimant 39 sous l'action duquel la rondelle ressort 37 se déforme légèrement en déplaçant le joint obturateur 38 de sa position d'admission à sa position d'échappement. Le gaz contenu dans la chambre de dosage 34 s'échappe alors vers l'embout d'échappement 36, par le conduit d'échappement 35. Puis, on arrête l'électro-aimant 39 et le joint obturateur revient en position d'admission. Afin d'injecter la quantité souhaitée de gaz comprimé dans la chambre de combustion de l'appareil de fixation, on entraíne ainsi le joint obturateur 38 dans un mouvement de va-et-vient, entre sa position d'admission et sa position d'échappement.In order to supply the combustion chamber of the fixing device with compressed gas, the exhaust nozzle 36 is connected to the combustion. The electromagnet 39 is actuated under the action of which the spring washer 37 slightly deforms by moving the obturator seal 38 from its intake position to its exhaust position. The gas contained in the metering chamber 34 then escapes towards the nozzle exhaust 36, through the exhaust duct 35. Then, we stop the electromagnet 39 and the obturator seal returns to the intake position. In order to inject the desired amount of compressed gas into the combustion of the fixing device, this causes the sealing gasket 38 in a back and forth movement, between its intake position and its exhaust position.

On pourrait remplacer le joint 11 en forme de manchon par deux joints toriques 16, 17, respectivement destinés à entourer les deux embouts mâles 23, 32 et donc à s'étendre de part et d'autre du plan de joint des deux embouts 32, 33. Dans ce cas, une pièce 18 formant entretoise est intercalée entre les deux joints de façon à les positionner correctement, comme représenté sur la figure 5.We could replace the sleeve-shaped seal 11 by two seals O-rings 16, 17, respectively intended to surround the two end pieces males 23, 32 and therefore to extend on either side of the joint plane of the two end pieces 32, 33. In this case, a piece 18 forming a spacer is interposed between the two seals so as to position them correctly, as shown in figure 5.

Dans une autre forme de réalisation du raccord 50 (figure 6), le joint d'étanchéité 51, en forme de manchon, et la bague de maintien 52 forment une pièce monobloc.In another embodiment of the fitting 50 (FIG. 6), the seal seal 51, in the form of a sleeve, and the retaining ring 52 form a single piece.

Il pourrait également être prévu de solidariser le raccord et la cartouche de carburant.It could also be planned to secure the fitting and the cartridge fuel.
