Description

1 DISPOSITIF ENERGETIQUEMENT AUTONOME DE DETECTION ET DE LOCALISATION DE FEU DE FORET DESCRIPTION DE L'INVENTION La présente invention propose un dispositif de détection et d'alarme de feux de forêt autonome composé d'un composant en alliage à mémoire de forme (AMF), d'un composant composite piézoélectrique et d'un module électronique. L'invention est capable d'émettre un signal radio pour avertir et donner une alerte de départ de feu. L'information transmise par l'émetteur comporte les coordonnées géographiques ou un numéro d'identification du micro-capteur qui permet de localiser instantanément le départ de feu. Le signal est réceptionné par un système informatique muni d'un récepteur radio. Par rapport aux capteurs antérieurs proposés dans le même cadre, le présent composant AMF/ composite piézoélectrique objet de l'invention, présente l'avantage de n'avoir aucune source d'énergie complémentaire pour le faire fonctionner, ni pile, ni batterie, ni accumulateur d'énergie. En effet, le composant AMF, en déclenchant à partir d'une certaine température, représentative d'un départ de feu, va fournir l'énergie suffisante pour alimenter par l'intermédiaire de l'élément piézoélectrique un émetteur radio qui va permettre ainsi l'envoi d'un signal à un poste de contrôle. L'invention présente trois uniques parties : le composant AMF qui a la double fonction de détecteur de température élevée et de générateur d'énergie mécanique, le composant piézoélectrique convertisseur d'énergie mécanique en énergie électrique et un module électronique émetteur d'un signal radio. Cette configuration simple permet à l'invention d'être très compacte, facile à déployer, et beaucoup moins coûteuse que les dispositifs antérieurs. L'invention présente l'avantage de fonctionner en mode zéro énergie tant qu'elle n'est pas sollicitée. Les détecteurs objet de l'invention peuvent donc fonctionner pendant des années sans nécessité de maintenance ou d'entretien. Dans une variante de l'invention, on peut ajouter un système d'armement et un dispositif visuel qui permet de vérifier si le détecteur est opérationnel. Dans une autre variante, on ajoute un dispositif de fixation au détecteur type vis ou clou pour pouvoir le fixer sur le tronc d'un arbre ou arbuste.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides an autonomous forest fire detection and alarm device composed of a shape memory alloy (AMF) component, a piezoelectric composite component and an electronic module. The invention is capable of emitting a radio signal to warn and give a fire warning. The information transmitted by the transmitter includes the geographic coordinates or a micro-sensor identification number which allows to instantly locate the start of fire. The signal is received by a computer system equipped with a radio receiver. Compared with the previous sensors proposed in the same context, the present AMF component / piezoelectric composite object of the invention has the advantage of having no additional energy source to make it work, neither battery nor battery nor energy accumulator. Indeed, the AMF component, by triggering from a certain temperature, representative of a fire departure, will provide sufficient energy to supply via the piezoelectric element a radio transmitter which will thus allow the sending a signal to a checkpoint. The invention has three unique parts: the AMF component which has the dual function of high temperature detector and mechanical energy generator, the piezoelectric component that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy and an electronic module that transmits a radio signal . This simple configuration allows the invention to be very compact, easy to deploy, and much less expensive than previous devices. The invention has the advantage of operating in zero energy mode as long as it is not requested. The detectors object of the invention can therefore operate for years without the need for maintenance or maintenance. In a variant of the invention, it is possible to add an arming system and a visual device that makes it possible to check whether the detector is operational. In another variant, a fixing device is added to the detector type screw or nail to fix it on the trunk of a tree or shrub.

Dans une autre variante, on ajoute au détecteur un pied pour le planter directement dans le sol si la végétation est de petite taille. Dans une autre variante, on ajoute un système de suspension permettant au détecteur d'être suspendu à la branche d'un arbre ou arbuste. Dans une autre variante, on utilise un outil portatif de type cloueuse ou visseuse muni d'un chargeur et permettant de fixer très rapidement les détecteurs sur le tronc des arbres ou arbustes. Dans une autre variante, on utilise le précédent dispositif avec un système d'armement automatique lors de la fixation du détecteur sur le végétal ou en terre. L'invention est conditionnée dans un volume restreint de manière étanche. La portée du signal émis peut être de plusieurs centaines de mètres à plusieurs kilomètres, ce qui permet de configurer 3034238 2 un réseau de détecteurs quel que soit la configuration du terrain. On peut envisager des postes relais pour relayer le signal jusqu'à un central et accroitre ainsi la zone surveillée. La précision de localisation est de l'ordre du mètre et selon la densité de détecteurs installés dans une zone, le temps de réaction et d'intervention peut être très inférieur aux solutions antérieures.In another variant, a foot is added to the detector to plant it directly into the soil if the vegetation is small. In another variant, there is added a suspension system allowing the detector to be suspended from the branch of a tree or shrub. In another variant, using a portable tool type nailer or screwdriver equipped with a charger and to very quickly fix the detectors on the trunk of trees or shrubs. In another variant, the previous device is used with an automatic arming system when fixing the detector on the plant or in the earth. The invention is packaged in a tightly sealed volume. The range of the transmitted signal can be from several hundred meters to several kilometers, which makes it possible to configure a network of detectors whatever the configuration of the terrain. Relay stations can be used to relay the signal to a central office and thus increase the area under surveillance. The accuracy of location is of the order of one meter and depending on the density of detectors installed in an area, the reaction time and intervention can be much lower than previous solutions.

REVENDICATIONS1. L'installation de l'invention in-situ peut se faire par l'intermédiaire d'un outillage adéquat et selon 45 un réseau pour lequel la distance entre chaque dispositif peut être choisie en fonction de la nature du terrain et des risques. Le coût d'une installation constituée de ces détecteurs objet de l'invention est inférieur au coût des solutions antérieures. Ce qui permet d'envisager une utilisation de ces systèmes dans des pays moins développés mais ayant de grandes ressources naturelles à protéger.REVENDICATIONS1. The installation of the invention in-situ can be done by means of appropriate tools and 45 a network for which the distance between each device can be chosen depending on the nature of the terrain and risks.
