Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a double-door connection device with enhanced security.
  • Such a double-door device equipped with a multiple safety control is for example known from the document FR 2 695 343
  • Each volume is closed by a door mounted in a flange.
  • Each door is secured to its flange either by a bayonet connection or by a hinge and a locking system and the two flanges are intended to be secured to each other by a bayonet connection.
  • one of the closed volumes is formed by an isolator and the other volume is formed by a flexible container, also called a waterproof transfer bag.
  • connection part carried by the insulator is designated alpha part and the connection part carried by the container is designated beta part.
  • Gaskets are provided on the alpha part and on the beta part to ensure sealing between the connected volumes.
  • the beta part has a beta flange closed by a beta gate, the beta flange and the beta gate cooperating with each other by a bayonet connection, and the alpha part has an alpha flange closed by an alpha gate, the alpha gate being hinged to the alpha flange by a hinge.
  • the seal between the beta flange and the beta door is ensured by a seal housed in the beta flange.
  • connection between the transfer bag and the enclosure is made by mechanical cooperation of the beta flange and the alpha flange by a bayonet type connection. This mechanical cooperation ensures both the mechanical connection and the sealing.
  • the waterproof connection cycle is as follows: The container carrying the beta part is brought closer to the alpha part, the ears of the beta flange enter notches in the alpha flange, and the ears of the beta door enter notches in the alpha door.
  • the container is rotated, for example clockwise, the ears of the beta flange pivot and slide in a groove in the alpha flange.
  • the rotation of the container causes the rotation of the beta door, which causes the connection between the beta door and the alpha door by the bayonet connection.
  • the two doors are then secured. Each ear of the beta door then comes to bear against a circumferential stop carried by the alpha door.
  • the container is still rotated, due to the beta gate ears pressing against the circumferential stops on the alpha gate, the rotation of the container causes the disconnection between the beta gate and the beta flange.
  • the following alternative is possible: Simultaneously with the pivoting and sliding of the ears of the beta flange in a groove of the alpha flange, due to the friction of the seal carried by the alpha door, the beta door is kept stationary in rotation and the beta door is disconnected from the beta flange. Each ear of the beta flange then comes to bear against a circumferential stop carried by the beta door.
  • the container is still rotated, due to the support of the ears of the beta flange against the circumferential stops on the beta door, the rotation of the container causes the rotation of the beta door, which causes the connection between the beta door and the alpha door by the bayonet connection. The two doors are then secured.
  • the alpha door is unlocked and the entire assembly of two doors can be pivoted towards the inside of the cell around the hinge axis.
  • Transfer between the two volumes can take place.
  • the disconnection cycle is as follows: Both doors are replaced in the flanges.
  • the container is rotated counterclockwise. Due to friction between the gates, the beta gate remains stationary in rotation, causing the beta gate and the beta flange to connect. Then, circumferential stops carried by the beta flange bear against the circumferential stops of the beta gate, causing the beta gate to rotate relative to the alpha gate and disconnect them. The container is also disconnected from the alpha flange. The container can then be removed from the flange.
  • a number of safety features are implemented to limit the risk of the enclosure being opened when the container is not properly connected to the alpha part.
  • a double-door device equipped with a multiple safety control is, for example, also known from the document EP 2 766 121 .
  • This device comprises a manual control member for opening the doors and four locks, two of which prevent any opening maneuver until the container door is present and until the container flange is fully connected to the alpha flange.
  • a third lock prevents any disconnection of the two flanges after the control member has passed an intermediate locking position.
  • a fourth lock prevents the control member from returning to its initial position when the doors are open. This double-door connection device is satisfactory.
  • the first two locks are at least partially deactivated when the connection of one of the ears of the beta flange to the alpha flange is detected.
  • a protruding rod of the alpha flange is pushed back by the ear of the beta flange, which contributes to the deactivation of the two locks.
  • Beta flanges can deteriorate, for example, become deformed or even break during transport. manipulations, including the alpha flange connection ears that extend radially outward from the flange.
  • the inventor has found that if one or more of the three other ears of the container whose presence is not detected are damaged, for example broken or deformed, and the ear whose presence is detected is in a sufficient condition to ensure the deactivation of the locks, the cell door lock may be deactivated, while the connection is not necessarily secure due to the deterioration of one or the other ears. Indeed, this partial deterioration may result in poor application of the seal against the alpha flange and therefore a risk of a leak, which may cause a loss of containment.
  • FR 2 441 244 describes an example of a known sealed connection device.
  • a double door sealed connection device which comprises a cell flange and a door, the cell flange comprising bayonet connection means intended to cooperate with a flange of an object to be connected, the flange of the object comprising ears cooperating with the bayonet connection means, said cell flange comprising means for detecting the presence of each of the ears of the flange of the object to be connected.
  • the sealed connection device comprises motorized unlocking means, the detection of the presence of all the ears then results in the sending of a signal to control means which generate an order to the unlocking means to unlock. Conversely, if one of the ears is not detected, unlocking is prohibited.
  • the detection of the presence of each ear is carried out by an inductive sensor.
  • the present application then relates to a sealed connection device for a double-door connection system comprising a first flange and a first door closing said first flange, said first flange comprising bayonet connection means for an object, said object comprising a second flange closed by a second door, the second flange being provided with n ears intended to cooperate with the bayonet connection means of the first flange, said first flange comprising n detectors for the correct assembly of the ears of the second flange in the bayonet connection means, each detector being configured for detecting the presence of an ear.
  • the first flange comprises for each ear a rotation stop configured to stop the rotation of the second flange in a connection position, and each detector is upstream of the rotation stop in a direction of connection of the second flange to the first flange.
