Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gas distribution assembly comprising a gas cylinder, in particular a medical gas cylinder, a valve block, with or without an integrated expansion system fixed on the gas cylinder, a protective casing arranged around the valve block for protection against shock and dirt and a wireless information transmission system comprising a transmitting and / or receiving antenna integrated in the cowl body.
  • Gas containers typically gas cylinders with pressures greater than 100 bar absolute, generally between 200 and 350 bar abs or more, equipped with a valve block, with or without built-in expansion valve, ie a simple open / closed type faucet or an integrated pressure reducer valve, also called RDI, to control the flow and pressure of the delivered gas.
  • RDI integrated pressure reducer valve
  • Cowlings of this type are described in particular by the documents EP-A-629812 , DE-A-10057469 , US-2004/020793 and EP-A-2586481 .
  • the high-pressure gas exiting the container must therefore be expanded before it can be used, that is to say its pressure must be reduced to a lower operating pressure, called low pressure, for example a pressure less than 20 bar abs, or even often less than 10 bar abs.
  • low pressure for example a pressure less than 20 bar abs, or even often less than 10 bar abs.
  • the expansion of the gas can be done either directly in the valve block itself, when it is a built-in pressure regulator valve block, also called RDI, or downstream of the valve block by means of a pressure reducer device. gas.
  • valve block When it is desired to know the pressure of the gas (before expansion) or the residual quantity of gas in the bottle, the valve block is fitted with a device for indicating pressure or gas autonomy which is preferably of electronic nature in a manner to be able to transmit to another device, such as a computer or a remote computer server for example, and / or, conversely, to receive information transmitted by another device.
  • a device for indicating pressure or gas autonomy which is preferably of electronic nature in a manner to be able to transmit to another device, such as a computer or a remote computer server for example, and / or, conversely, to receive information transmitted by another device.
  • a transmitter / receiver system comprising an antenna adapted to and designed to transmit and / or receive information, in particular measurements of pressure or gas autonomy resulting from measurements carried out by the indicator device of pressure or autonomy in gas.
  • the congestion constraint does not allow the integration in these transmitter / receiver systems of an antenna of sufficient size to obtain a satisfactory transmission / reception quality.
  • the invention further relates to a use of a gas distribution assembly according to the invention for storing or dispensing a gas or gas mixture, preferably a gas or medical gas mixture.
  • a gas or gas mixture is chosen from oxygen, air, N 2 O / O 2 , He / O 2 or NO / nitrogen
  • a protective cover 2 commonly called “hat” arranged around a valve block 9, namely a valve with or without built-in regulator, itself attached to the neck of a gas cylinder 1, preferably the valve block is of type RDI.
  • the lower part, also called the lower part, of the cowling 2 is located at the level of the bottle 1.
  • the fixing around the valve block on the neck of the gas cylinder 1 is done by screwing either directly on the tap itself via a complementary and / or adapted geometry.
  • the gas cylinder 1 typically has a cylindrical steel body and a size between 10 and 150 cm, and a capacity of 0.5 to 20 liters (in water equivalent).
  • the protective cover 2 protects the valve block 9 against shocks. To do this, it comprises a cowling body 10 forming a protective shell around an internal volume sized to receive the valve block 9.
  • the cowling 2 further comprises a carrying handle 7 designed to be handled by a user.
  • the carrying handle 7 is formed of a rigid material, such as a polymer or a metal or metal alloy, and is integral with the body 10 cowl. It is preferably arranged horizontally, that is to say perpendicularly or almost perpendicular to the vertical axis of the bottle 1 and the cowling 2.

  • the casing body 2 is typically made of a polymer and / or metal type material, preferably made of plastic material, such as PVC, PE, PET, PP, PMMA, PU, PA ...
  • valve body of the valve block 9 conventionally comprises a fastening system, for example a conical, frustoconical or cylindrical threaded portion, for fixing the valve block 9 to the gas container 1, for example by screwing.
  • This threaded portion comprises a gas inlet orifice through which the gas contained in the container 1 can penetrate into the valve body 9.
  • the valve block further comprises a gas outlet port carried by a gas outlet connection through which the gas can emerge from the valve body 9.
  • An internal gas passage fluidly connects the gas inlet port to the gas outlet port.
  • a pressure sensor attached to the valve body makes it possible to measure the pressure of the gas in the internal gas passage, preferably upstream of the site where the gas is expanded, when the valve block 9 is of the RDI type and therefore integrates a system of pressure reduction, for example a relief valve cooperating with a valve seat.
  • This sensor makes it possible to determine the pressure of the gas, said pressure being then used by information processing means to possibly deduce a gas autonomy of the bottle 1.
  • a gas flow control member 8 such as a rotary handwheel, allows the user to control the flow rate of the gas passing through the valve block 9.
  • This gas flow control member 8 cooperates with a system gas flow control device arranged on the internal gas passage, that is to say in the valve block 9.
  • the protective cover 2 may comprise, on the side of its rear face a fixed or movable attachment device, for example translatable or pivoting between a so-called “rest” position, that is to say the position adopted by the attachment device when it is stored and in contact or almost -contact the body of the cowling 2, and a so-called “hooking" position, that is to say the position adopted by the hooking device when it is completely out and can be hooked to a support, such a bed rail or the like.
