Description

Dispositif d'étancheite Sealing device

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'étancheite, notamment pour rendre étanche aux gaz un orifice de passage entre un sas de chargement de matière et un four à cuve.The present invention relates to a sealing device, in particular for making gas-tight a passage orifice between an airlock for loading material and a tank furnace.

Un tel dispositif d'étancheite est présenté par exemple dans la demande de brevet EP-A-0 062 770. Dans cette demande on décrit un sas de chargement de matière monté au dessus d'un four à cuve. Entre le sas et le four se trouve une cage à clapets contenant un clapet d'étancheite et un organe doseur destiné à régler l'écoulement de matière provenant du sas à travers une tubulure d'écoulement formant le fond du sas. Le clapet d'étancheite est appliqué, en position de fermeture, contre un siège fixé à la partie inférieure d'une tubulure d'écoulement intermédiaire entourant la tubulure d'écoulement. Dans cette position de fermeture, il ferme de manière étanche la tubulure d'écoulement intermédiaire, empêchant la remontée des gaz du four à cuve dans le sas. Le clapet d'étancheite possède un mécanisme d'entraînement qui comporte essentiellement un support creux rotatif logé dans un palier étanche de la paroi de la cage à clapets. Ce support se prolonge à l'intérieur de la cage à clapets par une chape formant support pour un axe de pivotement. Ce dernier forme une articulation centrale pour un levier à deux bras. Le premier bras est coudé et porte le clapet. Le deuxième bras est droit et connecté par une deuxième articulation à une tige d'actionnement logée dans le support creux rotatif. Cette tige d'actionnement est entraînée en translation par un moteur linéaire situé à l'extérieur du support creux rotatif. En actionnant le moteur linéaire on déplace la tige d'actionnement vers l'intérieur de la boîte à clapets et on fait pivoter le levier autour de son articulation centrale. Ce mouvement de pivotement dégage le clapet de son siège. Le support creux rotatif comporte en outre une manivelle reliée directement à un vérin à l'extérieur de la cage à clapets, pour faire tourner le support creux rotatif autour de son axe de rotation. Ce mouvement de rotation permet de placer le clapet, dégagé de son siège, dans une position de garage latérale. La fermeture du clapet comporte les mêmes mouvements de rotation et de pivotement en sens inverse. Le dispositif d'étancheite décrit dans le document EP-A-0 062 770 est aisément manoeuvrable entre les différentes positions, mais sa conception est complexe. En effet, le levier qui supporte le clapet est articulé en deux endroits : (1) en son articulation en chape en son milieu et (2) au niveau de la connexion à la tige d'actionnement. Ces deux articulations sont situées à l'intérieur de la cage à clapets et subissent les températures et atmosphères qui régnent dans le four. De plus, le graissage de ces articulations situées à l'intérieur de la cage à clapets pose des problèmes.Such a sealing device is presented for example in patent application EP-A-0 062 770. In this application, an airlock for loading material is described mounted above a tank furnace. Between the airlock and the oven is a valve cage containing a sealing valve and a metering device intended to regulate the flow of material coming from the airlock through a flow pipe forming the bottom of the airlock. The sealing valve is applied, in the closed position, against a seat fixed to the lower part of an intermediate flow tubing surrounding the flow tubing. In this closed position, it tightly closes the intermediate flow pipe, preventing the gas from rising from the shaft furnace into the airlock. The sealing valve has a drive mechanism which essentially comprises a rotary hollow support housed in a sealed bearing on the wall of the valve cage. This support is extended inside the valve cage by a yoke forming a support for a pivot axis. The latter forms a central articulation for a lever with two arms. The first arm is bent and carries the valve. The second arm is straight and connected by a second articulation to an actuating rod housed in the hollow rotary support. This actuating rod is driven in translation by a linear motor located outside the hollow rotary support. By actuating the linear motor, the actuating rod is moved towards the inside of the valve box and the lever is pivoted around its central articulation. This pivoting movement releases the valve from its seat. The rotary hollow support further comprises a crank connected directly to a jack outside the valve cage, to rotate the rotary rotary support around its axis of rotation. This rotational movement makes it possible to place the valve, released from its seat, in a lateral garage position. Closing the valve has the same rotational and pivoting movements in the opposite direction. The sealing device described in document EP-A-0 062 770 is easily maneuverable between the different positions, but its design is complex. Indeed, the lever which supports the valve is articulated in two places: (1) in its clevis articulation in its middle and (2) at the level of the connection to the actuating rod. These two joints are located inside the valve cage and undergo the temperatures and atmospheres that prevail in the oven. In addition, the lubrication of these joints located inside the valve cage poses problems.

L'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif d'étancheite à clapets plus simple. Conformément à l'invention, cet objectif est atteint par un dispositif d'étancheite selon la revendication 1.The object of the present invention is to provide a simpler sealing device with valves. According to the invention, this objective is achieved by a sealing device according to claim 1.

Un dispositif d'étancheite selon l'invention comprend une cage à clapet étanche et un siège d'étancheite muni d'une ouverture de passage. Un clapet mobile est muni d'une surface périphérique d'étancheite qui coopère, dans une position de fermeture, avec le siège d'étancheite pour définir une position d'étancheite. Un bras d'actionnement supporte le clapet. Un mécanisme d'entraînement est apte à actionner le bras d'actionnement et déplacer le clapet entre la position de fermeture et une position d'ouverture, dans laquelle le clapet libère entièrement l'ouverture de passage. Selon un aspect important de l'invention, une rotule est logée de façon étanche et rotative dans un logement de la paroi extérieure de la cage à clapet. Le bras d'actionnement passe de façon étanche à travers la rotule à l'extérieur de la cage à clapet, où il est connecté au mécanisme d'entraînement.A sealing device according to the invention comprises a sealed valve cage and a sealing seat provided with a passage opening. A movable valve is provided with a peripheral sealing surface which cooperates, in a closed position, with the sealing seat to define a sealing position. An actuating arm supports the valve. A drive mechanism is adapted to actuate the actuating arm and move the valve between the closed position and an open position, in which the valve fully releases the passage opening. According to an important aspect of the invention, a ball joint is housed in a sealed and rotary manner in a housing in the outer wall of the valve cage. The actuating arm passes tightly through the ball joint outside the valve cage, where it is connected to the drive mechanism.

La rotule sert d'articulation au bras d'actionnement et permet de manoeu- vrer le clapet entre une position de fermeture et une position déjointée, puis dans une position latérale de garage, et inversement. La rotule est facilement accessible puisqu'elle est logée dans un logement de la paroi extérieure de la cage à clapets, ce qui facilite son entretien et son graissage. Ce dispositif est donc de conception simple et est facilement manoeuvrable, puisque tous les mouvements nécessaires à l'ouverture et la fermeture du clapet sont possibles à l'aide d'une unique articulation, située dans un logement de la paroi extérieure de la cage à clapet. De plus, puisque le mécanisme d'entraînement est connecté au bras à l'extérieur de la cage à clapet, il peut être installé entièrement à l'extérieur de celle-ci. Le mécanisme d'entraînement est donc facilement accessible, et son entretien est simplifié. La rotule pourrait être une articulation sphérique, c'est-à-dire une articulation qui permet le pivotement du bras d'actionnement autour d'un point. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le bras d'actionnement est cependant logé de façon rotative dans la rotule, alors que cette dernière peut seulement tourner autour d'un axe de pivotement parallèle au siège d'étancheite et passant par le centre de la rotule, et forme dès lors une sorte d'articulation cylindrique. Le pivotement de la rotule autour de cet axe de pivotement permet de manœuvrer le clapet entre une position de fermeture et une position déjointée. La manoeuvre du clapet d'une position déjointée vers une position latérale de garage est quant à elle effectuée par la rotation du bras d'actionnement dans la rotule. Reste à noter que dans le cas d'utilisation d'une rotule qui peut seulement tourner autour d'un axe de pivotement parallèle à un plan contenant le siège d'étancheite, cette rotule peut théoriquement avoir une forme soit sphérique, soit cylindrique. Cependant, en pratique, on préférera utiliser une rotule sphérique logée dans un logement sphérique, parce que montage peut être plus facilement rendu étanche.The ball joint serves as an articulation for the actuating arm and allows the valve to be maneuvered between a closed position and a disjointed position, then in a lateral garage position, and vice versa. The ball joint is easily accessible since it is housed in a housing on the outside wall of the valve cage, which facilitates its maintenance and lubrication. This device is therefore of simple design and is easily maneuverable, since all the movements necessary for opening and closing the valve are possible using a single joint, located in a housing on the outer wall of the valve cage. In addition, since the drive mechanism is connected to the arm outside of the valve cage, it can be installed entirely outside of the latter. The drive mechanism is therefore easily accessible, and its maintenance is simplified. The ball could be a spherical joint, that is to say a joint which allows the pivoting of the actuating arm around a point. According to a preferred embodiment, the actuating arm is however rotatably housed in the ball joint, while the latter can only rotate about a pivot axis parallel to the sealing seat and passing through the center of the ball joint , and therefore forms a sort of cylindrical joint. The pivoting of the ball joint around this pivoting axis makes it possible to maneuver the valve between a closed position and a disjointed position. Maneuvering the valve from a predetermined position to a lateral garage position is effected by the rotation of the actuating arm in the ball joint. It remains to note that in the case of using a ball joint which can only rotate around a pivot axis parallel to a plane containing the seal seat, this ball joint can theoretically have a shape either spherical or cylindrical. However, in practice, it will be preferable to use a spherical ball joint housed in a spherical housing, because mounting can be more easily sealed.

Le logement rotatif du bras d'actionnement dans la rotule comprend de préférence un anneau d'injection de graisse entourant le bras d'actionnement à l'extérieur de la cage à clapet et des joints d'étancheite à lèvres entourant ledit bras d'actionnement de façon à laisser passer un flux de graisse de l'anneau d'injection de graisse vers l'intérieur de ladite cage à clapet. De cette façon on n'assure pas seulement un graissage efficace du logement rotatif, mais on forme également une barrière de graisse contre l'introduction de gaz et de poussières dans le logement rotatif.The rotary housing of the actuating arm in the ball joint preferably comprises a grease injection ring surrounding the actuating arm outside of the valve cage and lip seals surrounding said actuating arm. so as to allow a flow of grease to pass from the grease injection ring towards the interior of said valve cage. This not only ensures effective lubrication of the rotary housing, but also forms a grease barrier against the introduction of gas and dust into the rotary housing.

De préférence, le mécanisme d'entraînement comprend un premier en- traînement linéaire, par exemple un vérin, connecté entre le bras d'actionnement et la cage à clapet de façon à pouvoir pivoter le bras autour d'un axe de pivotement parallèle à un plan contenant le siège d'étancheite et passant par le centre de la rotule. Ce premier entraînement linéaire permet de manoeuvrer le clapet entre la position de fermeture et la position déjointée.Preferably, the drive mechanism comprises a first linear drive, for example a jack, connected between the actuating arm and the valve cage so as to be able to pivot the arm around a pivot axis parallel to a plane containing the sealing seat and passing through the center of the ball joint. This first linear drive allows the valve to be maneuvered between the closed position and the flipped position.

Le mécanisme d'entraînement comprend avantageusement un entraîne- ment rotatif connecté au bras d'actionnement de façon à faire tourner ce dernier autour d'un axe de rotation perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement. Cet entraînement rotatif permet de manœuvrer le clapet entre une position déjointée et une position latérale de garage, et inversement. Cet entraînement rotatif peut être réalisé par un deuxième entraînement linéaire connecté au bras d'actionnement au moyen d'une manivelle.The drive mechanism advantageously comprises a rotary drive connected to the actuating arm so as to rotate the latter around an axis of rotation perpendicular to the pivot axis. This rotary drive allows the valve to be maneuvered between a pre-positioned position and a lateral garage position, and vice versa. This rotary drive can be achieved by a second linear drive connected to the actuating arm by means of a crank.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, un support est solidaire de la rotule et est traversé de façon rotative par le bras d'actionnement. Ce support comprend un premier bras auquel est connecté le premier entraînement linéaire et un deuxième bras auquel est connecté le deuxième entraînement linéaire. Le premier entraînement linéaire provoque donc le pivotement simultané de la rotule et du support pour pivoter le clapet entre les positions de fermeture et déjointée. En fixant le deuxième entraînement sur le support solidaire de la rotule, ce dernier suit le pivotement de la rotule.According to an advantageous embodiment, a support is integral with the ball joint and is traversed in a rotary manner by the actuating arm. This support comprises a first arm to which the first linear drive is connected and a second arm to which the second linear drive is connected. The first linear drive therefore causes the simultaneous pivoting of the ball joint and of the support for pivoting the valve between the closed and flipped positions. By fixing the second drive on the support integral with the ball joint, the latter follows the pivoting of the ball joint.

De préférence, le bras d'actionnement est fait d'une seule pièce. Il n'y a donc aucun entretien à effectuer sur le bras d'actionnement dans la cage à clapet.Preferably, the actuating arm is made in one piece. There is therefore no maintenance to be carried out on the actuating arm in the valve cage.

Sur la Fig.1 est illustré un mode de réalisation préféré d'un dispositif d'étancheite 10 selon l'invention, monté dans une installation de chargement d'un haut fourneau. Un sas de chargement 12 est placé au dessus et dans l'axe d'un four à cuve, représenté par un conduit central d'alimentation 14. Le sas 12 se termine par une tubulure d'écoulement 16 à la sortie de laquelle est placé un clapet matière 18, pour interrompre le courant de matière du sas 12 vers le four. Une tubulure intermédiaire 20 entoure la tubulure d'écoulement 16. Le dispositif d'étancheite 10 est agencé entre le sas 12 et le conduit central d'alimentation 14, pour empêcher la remontée de gaz du four dans le sas 12 et maintenir ainsi le four en surpression.In Fig.1 is illustrated a preferred embodiment of a sealing device 10 according to the invention, mounted in a loading installation of a blast furnace. A loading airlock 12 is placed above and in the axis of a shaft furnace, represented by a central supply duct 14. The airlock 12 ends in a flow pipe 16 at the outlet of which is placed a material valve 18, for interrupting the flow of material from the airlock 12 to the furnace. An intermediate tube 20 surrounds the flow tube 16. The sealing device 10 is arranged between the airlock 12 and the central supply duct 14, to prevent the gas from rising from the oven into the airlock 12 and thus maintain the oven overpressure.

Le dispositif d'étancheite 10 comprend une cage à clapet 22 connectant de façon étanche le sas 12 au conduit central d'alimentation 14. Un siège d'étancheite 24 est monté sur la sortie de la tubulure intermédiaire 20 et possède une ouverture de passage 26. Un clapet mobile 28 muni d'une surface d'étancheite périphérique 30 coopère, dans une position de fermeture (tel qu'illustré sur la Fig.1), avec le siège d'étancheite 24 pour définir une position d'étancheite. Un bras d'actionnement 32 fait d'une seule pièce supporte le clapet mobile 28. Un mécanisme d'entraînement du bras d'actionnement 32 est repéré globalement par la référence 34.The sealing device 10 comprises a valve cage 22 sealingly connecting the airlock 12 to the central supply duct 14. A sealing seat 24 is mounted on the outlet of the intermediate pipe 20 and has a passage opening 26 A movable valve 28 provided with a peripheral sealing surface 30 cooperates, in a closed position (as illustrated in FIG. 1), with the sealing seat 24 to define a sealing position. An actuating arm 32 made in one piece supports the movable valve 28. A mechanism for driving the actuating arm 32 is generally identified by the reference 34.

Il sera apprécié qu'une rotule 36 est logée de façon étanche et rotative dans un logement 38 de la paroi extérieure 40 de la cage à clapet 22. On remarquera également que le bras d'actionnement 32 passe de façon étanche à travers la rotule 36 et dépasse à l'extérieur de la cage à clapet 22.It will be appreciated that a ball joint 36 is housed in a sealed and rotatable manner in a housing 38 of the outer wall 40 of the valve cage 22. It will also be noted that the actuating arm 32 passes in sealed manner through the ball joint 36 and protrudes outside the valve cage 22.

La Fig.2 montre une vue en coupe partielle horizontale de la rotule 36 dans son logement 38. On distingue deux pivots 42 qui sont installés selon un diamètre de la rotule 36, et connectent la rotule 36 au logement 38. Ces pivots 42 limitent la rotation de la rotule 36 autour d'un axe de pivotement 44 passant par le centre de la rotule 36 et parallèle au siège d'étancheite 24. Sur la Fig.1 , l'axe de pivotement 44 est perpendiculaire au plan de la feuille. Le pivotement de la rotule 36 autour de cet axe de pivotement 44 permet donc de manoeuvrer le clapet 28 entre une position de fermeture et une position déjointée, comme illustré sur les Fig.1 et 4 respectivement.Fig.2 shows a horizontal partial sectional view of the ball 36 in its housing 38. There are two pivots 42 which are installed along a diameter of the ball 36, and connect the ball 36 to the housing 38. These pivots 42 limit the rotation of the ball 36 around a pivot axis 44 passing through the center of the ball 36 and parallel to the sealing seat 24. In Fig.1, the pivot axis 44 is perpendicular to the plane of the sheet. The pivoting of the ball 36 around this pivot axis 44 therefore allows the valve 28 to be maneuvered between a closed position and a disjointed position, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4 respectively.

La Fig.3 propose une vue en coupe verticale de la rotule 36. Comme on le voit, le bras d'actionnement 32 est logé de façon rotative dans la rotule 36 grâce à deux roulements 46. Le bras 32 peut donc tourner dans la rotule 36 autour d'un axe de rotation 48, perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivotement 44, pour manoeuvrer le clapet 28 entre une position déjointée et une position de garage latérale. Un des deux pivots 42 est représenté en pointillés. On remarquera aussi la présence d'un support 50 traversé par le bras d'actionnement 32 (voir aussi Fig. 1) et fixé sur la rotule 36 à l'extérieur de la cage à clapet 22. Une entretoise 52 entoure le bras 32 au niveau du support 50. Autour de l'entretoise 52 se trouve un anneau de graissage 54 pour injection de graisse. Cet anneau de graissage 54 est agencé entre deux joints d'étancheite à lèvres 56 qui sont disposés de telle manière que la graisse doit s'écouler vers les roulements 46. Du côté intérieur, l'étanchéité entre le bras d'actionnement 32 et la rotule 36 est également assurée par un joint d'étancheite à lèvres 58. Ce dernier laisse passer la graisse à l'intérieur de la cage à clapet 22. Il s'établit dès lors un flux de graisse de l'anneau de graissage 54 à travers les roulements 46 et le joint d'étancheite à lèvres 58. De cette façon on n'assure pas seulement un graissage efficace du logement rotatif, mais on forme également une barrière de graisse contre l'introduction de gaz et de poussières dans le logement rotatif. Reste à noter que deux joints d'étancheite 60 sont montés dans le logement 38 de la rotule 36 pour assurer l'étanchéité du dispositif au niveau du logement de la rotule 36.Fig.3 provides a vertical sectional view of the ball 36. As can be seen, the actuating arm 32 is rotatably housed in the ball 36 by two bearings 46. The arm 32 can therefore rotate in the ball 36 around an axis of rotation 48, perpendicular to the pivot axis 44, for maneuvering the valve 28 between a disjointed position and a lateral parking position. One of the two pivots 42 is shown in dotted lines. Note also the presence of a support 50 traversed by the actuating arm 32 (see also Fig. 1) and fixed on the ball 36 outside the valve cage 22. A spacer 52 surrounds the arm 32 at support 50 level. Around the spacer 52 is a lubrication ring 54 for grease injection. This lubrication ring 54 is arranged between two lip seals 56 which are arranged in such a way that the grease must flow towards the bearings 46. On the inside, the seal between the actuating arm 32 and the ball joint 36 is also provided by a lip seal 58. The latter allows the fat to pass inside the valve cage 22. A flow of grease is therefore established from the lubrication ring 54 to through the bearings 46 and the lip seal 58. This not only ensures effective lubrication of the rotary housing, but also forms a grease barrier against the introduction of gas and dust into the housing rotary. It remains to be noted that two seals 60 are mounted in the housing 38 of the ball joint 36 to seal the device at the housing of the ball joint 36.

Le mécanisme d'entraînement 34 sera maintenant décrit plus en détail en se référant surtout aux Fig. 1 et 4. Il comprend un premier vérin 62 fixé d'un côté à la paroi extérieure 40 de la cage à clapet 22, et de l'autre côté à un premier bras 64 du support 50. Un actionnement du vérin 62 provoque le pivotement de la rotule 36 autour de l'axe de pivotement 44. Ce pivotement de la rotule 36 permet de déplacer le clapet 28 de la position de fermeture illustrée sur la Fig.1 dans la position déjointée de la Fig.4, et vice versa.The drive mechanism 34 will now be described in more detail with particular reference to Figs. 1 and 4. It comprises a first jack 62 fixed on one side to the outer wall 40 of the valve cage 22, and on the other side to a first arm 64 of the support 50. An actuation of the jack 62 causes the pivoting of the ball 36 around the pivot axis 44. This pivoting of the ball 36 makes it possible to move the valve 28 from the closed position illustrated in Fig. 1 in the open position of Fig. 4, and vice versa.

Dans cette position déjointée de la Fig. 4, le clapet 28 est toujours substantiellement sous l'ouverture de passage 26. En tournant le bras d'actionnement 32 autour de l'axe de rotation 48 à l'aide d'un entraînement rotatif, on peut alors manœuvrer le clapet 28 dans une position de garage dans laquelle il est hors du courant de matière qui s'écoule du sas 12 dans le conduit central d'alimentation 14 à travers l'orifice de passage 26. Dans le dispositif montré sur les Figures, l'entraînement rotatif est réalisé au moyen d'un deuxième vérin 66 et d'une manivelle 68. Le deuxième vérin 66 est fixé d'un côté à un deuxième bras 70 du support 50. De l'autre côté, le vérin 66 est connectée au bras d'actionnement 32 à l'aide de la manivelle 68, laquelle est rendue solidaire du bras 32 à l'aide d'une clavette 72 (cf. Fig.3).In this open position of FIG. 4, the valve 28 is still substantially below the passage opening 26. By turning the actuating arm 32 around the axis of rotation 48 using a rotary drive, the valve 28 can then be maneuvered into a garage position in which it is out of the flow of material flowing from the airlock 12 into the central supply duct 14 through the passage orifice 26. In the device shown in the Figures, the rotary drive is produced by means of a second cylinder 66 and a crank 68. The second cylinder 66 is fixed on one side to a second arm 70 of the support 50. On the other side, the cylinder 66 is connected to the arm of actuation 32 using the crank 68, which is made integral with the arm 32 using a key 72 (see Fig. 3).

Reste à noter que les vérins 62 et/ou 66 peuvent être remplacés par tout autre type d'entraînement linéaire. Le vérin 66 peut également être remplacé par un entraînement rotatif. Remain to note that the cylinders 62 and / or 66 can be replaced by any other type of linear drive. The jack 66 can also be replaced by a rotary drive.
