Description

DISPOSITIF DE CONTROLE DE L'ACCES D'UN LIEU TEL UN CABINET D'AISANCE L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif de contrôle de l'accès d'un lieu tel un cabinet d'aisance.The invention relates to a device for controlling access to a place such as a toilet.
Classiquement un cabinet d'aisance comprend :Conventionally a toilet includes:
- une cuvette,- a bowl,
- un lave-mains pourvu de son robinet et - une porte avec sa serrure contrôlant l'accès et la sortie du local.- a hand basin fitted with its tap and - a door with its lock controlling access to and exit from the room.
Des règles strictes d'hygiène sont à respecter en toutes circonstances et, à fortiori, lorsque ces lieux sont connexes à des lieux de production et/ou de préparation de produits alimentaires.Strict hygiene rules must be observed in all circumstances and, a fortiori, when these places are connected to places of production and / or preparation of food products.
Dans l'industrie agro-alimentaire et, notamment, dans les entreprises de préparation d'aliments, il est en effet nécessaire de mettre en place une politique assurant la propreté et la non prolifération des bactéries, microbes ou autres .In the food industry and, in particular, in food preparation companies, it is indeed necessary to set up a policy ensuring the cleanliness and the non proliferation of bacteria, microbes or others.
Cette politique impose donc aux employés le port d'une tenue, le nettoyage des chaussures à chaque fois qu'ils pénètrent dans une zone dite protégée etc...This policy therefore requires employees to wear uniforms, to clean shoes each time they enter a so-called protected area, etc.
Afin d'améliorer la propreté, les blocs sanitaires qui équipent ces industries sont généralement pourvus à proximité des robinets de système de distribution de produits nettoyants antiseptiques et, également, de moyens techniques limitant la dissémination des microbes.In order to improve cleanliness, the sanitary blocks which equip these industries are generally provided near the taps of the distribution system for antiseptic cleaning products and, also, technical means limiting the spread of microbes.
Classiquement, le robinet comprend : - un corps logeant un obturateur et - un moyen de commande de l'obturateur pour le déplacer entre une position ouverte et une position fermée.Conventionally, the tap comprises: - a body housing a shutter and - A shutter control means for moving it between an open position and a closed position.
Le moyen de commande de 1 ' obturateur est généralement une simple poignée destinée à être saisie par la main de l'utilisateur.The shutter control means is generally a simple handle intended to be grasped by the hand of the user.
Dans les hôpitaux, ces poignées sont parfois adaptées pour être manipulées non plus par la main mais par l'avant bras de sorte que le chirurgien après s'être soigneusement lavé les mains peut manoeuvrer le robinet sans que ses mains soient en contact avec la poignée où des microbes ont pu se déposer et proliférer.In hospitals, these handles are sometimes adapted to be manipulated no longer by hand but by the forearm so that the surgeon, after having thoroughly washed his hands, can operate the tap without his hands being in contact with the handle. where microbes may have settled and proliferated.
Au lieu d'une poignée, la commande peut également se faire par une pédale actionnable par le pied de l'individu.Instead of a handle, the control can also be done by a pedal actuated by the foot of the individual.
Ce type de dispositif est largement utilisé dans les cabinets d'aisance des wagons.This type of device is widely used in car washrooms.
On connaît également des robinets dont la manoeuvre de l'obturateur peut se faire sans aucun contact.Valves are also known whose operation of the shutter can be done without any contact.
A cet effet, ces robinets comprennent :For this purpose, these taps include:
- un moyen de détection de la présence d'une partie du corps humain à proximité immédiate du robinet et un moyen moteur pour commander la manoeuvre de l'obturateur en réponse à la détection de cette partie de corps humain.a means for detecting the presence of a part of the human body in the immediate vicinity of the tap and motor means for controlling the operation of the shutter in response to the detection of this part of the human body.
Ces moyens de commande sans contact équipent de plus en plus souvent les sanitaires publiques et notamment les urinoirs et évitent ainsi de se souiller les mains.These contactless control means are more and more often fitted in public toilets and in particular urinals and thus avoid soiling the hands.
Ces mesures matérielles s'accompagnent également de recommandations, telles le lavage systématique des mains après tout contact avec un objet souillé ou autre. Malheureusement, on constate que certains individus ne se lavent pas les mains systématiquement, y compris, après avoir utilisés les urinoirs ou les cuvettes de "WC".These material measures are also accompanied by recommendations, such as the systematic washing of the hands after any contact with a contaminated object or other. Unfortunately, we find that some individuals do not wash their hands systematically, including after using urinals or "WC" bowls.
Cela peut poser un grave problème dans les entreprises alimentaires. On connaît un dispositif de contrôle d'accès (US-A- 4.896.144) selon lequel, lorsque la personne devant se laver les mains n'actionne pas le robinet du lave-mains, un message est délivré l'invitant à utiliser le lave-mains. II ne s'agit cependant que d'une incitation.This can be a serious problem in food businesses. There is known an access control device (US-A-4,896,144) according to which, when the person having to wash his hands does not activate the tap of the hand basin, a message is delivered inviting him to use the hand basin. However, this is only an incentive.
Un des résultats que l'invention vise à obtenir est un dipositif du type précité qui remédie à des inconvénients et, à cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un dispositif de contrôle d'accès d'un lieu comprenant classiquement : - un lave-mains pourvu de son robinet etOne of the results that the invention aims to obtain is a device of the aforementioned type which overcomes disadvantages and, for this purpose, the invention relates to a device for controlling access to a place conventionally comprising: - a washing machine -hands provided with its tap and
- une porte contrôlant l'accès du local,- a door controlling access to the room,
- un moyen de désactivation d'un dispositif associé à l'ouverture non autorisée de la porte en réponse à la manoeuvre du robinet, ce dispositif de contrôle étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend un dispositif de détection, d'une part, du fonctionnement du robinet et, d'autre part, de la présence des mains sous le jet d'eau du robinet.a means for deactivating a device associated with the unauthorized opening of the door in response to the operation of the tap, this control device being characterized in that it comprises a device for detecting, on the one hand, the operation of the tap and, on the other hand, the presence of hands under the jet of tap water.
L'invention sera bien comprise à l'aide de la description ci-après faite à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard du dessin ci-annexé qui représente schématiquement :The invention will be better understood with the aid of the description below given by way of nonlimiting example with regard to the attached drawing which schematically represents:
- figure 1 l'équipement d'un cabinet d'aisance,- Figure 1 the equipment of a toilet,
- figure 2 le dispositif de contrôle,- Figure 2 the control device,
- figure 3 un local d'aisance. En se reportant au dessin, on voit que le cabinet 1 d'aisance comprend une cuvette 2 de " C", un urinoir et un lave-mains 3.- Figure 3 a toilet room. Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that the cabinet 1 of ease comprises a bowl 2 of "C", a urinal and a hand basin 3.
Il comprend, en outre, un dispositif de contrôle de l'accès du lieu. Une porte avec sa serrure contrôle l'accès au cabinet. Ce lave-mains est équipé d'un robinet 4. Classiquement, ce robinet comprend : - un corps 5 logeant un obturateur 6 et un moyen 7 de commande de l'obturateur pour le déplacer entre une position ouverte et une position fermée et - un moyen 100 de désactivation d'un dispositif 10/30 associé à l'ouverture non autorisée de la porte, tel une sirène qui se met en marche lorsque la porte est franchie sans s'être lavée les mains, en réponse à la manoeuvre du robinet ou d'un système d'affichage.It also includes a device for controlling access to the site. A door with its lock controls access to the cabinet. This hand basin is fitted with a tap 4. Conventionally, this tap comprises: - a body 5 housing a shutter 6 and a means 7 for controlling the shutter to move it between an open position and a closed position and a means 100 for deactivating a 10/30 device associated with the unauthorized opening of the door, such as a siren which starts when the door is crossed without having washed your hands, in response to the maneuver tap or display system.
Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, ce dispositif de contrôle comprend un dispositif 9 de détection, d'une part, du fonctionnement du robinet et, d'autre part, de la présence des mains sous le jet d'eau du robinet. II est, en effet, important que l'on vérifie la présence des mains sous le jet d'eau.According to a characteristic of the invention, this control device comprises a device 9 for detecting, on the one hand, the operation of the tap and, on the other hand, the presence of hands under the jet of water from the tap. It is, in fact, important that one checks the presence of the hands under the jet of water.

La présence des mains sous le jet d'eau doit être effectuée pendant une durée minimale.The presence of the hands under the jet of water must be carried out for a minimum duration.
Ces éléments constituent le moyen de contrôle de 1 ' accès .These elements constitute the means of controlling access.
Ainsi, à défaut de se laver les mains, la porte ne peut s'ouvrir ou un message vocable ou lumineux est émis. Le dispositif 9 de détection comprend un moyen 11 de surveillance par émission réception d'une onde électromagnétique dans une zone située sous le jet d'eau.Thus, failing to wash your hands, the door cannot open or a vocal or luminous message is sent. The detection device 9 comprises a means 11 for monitoring by emission reception of an electromagnetic wave in an area located under the water jet.
On peut effectuer, par exemple, une détection par effet doppler. Le robinet comprend un moyen 12 moteur pour la manoeuvre de l'obturateur en réponse à la détection de cette partie de corps humain surveillée.It is possible, for example, to detect by doppler effect. The valve includes motor means 12 for operating the shutter in response to the detection of this monitored human body part.
Un compteur 13 de temps sera prévu sur le système pour obliger à se laver les mains au moins le temps nécessaire et suffisant pour se débarrasser des microbes. La désactivation de la serrure ou de la sirène ne se réalisera qu'après s'être lavé les mains pendant le temps requis qui, par exemple, sera au moins de trente secondes.A time counter 13 will be provided on the system to oblige to wash your hands at least the time necessary and sufficient to get rid of the microbes. The deactivation of the lock or siren will only take place after washing your hands for the required time, for example, at least thirty seconds.
