L'invention sera décrite ci-après dans un mode de réalisation selon lequel deux joints rotatifs du système sont prévus sur le navire. De façon analogue, conformément à l'invention, il est envisageable de prévoir trois joints rotatifs ou seulement un sur le navire.The invention will be described hereinafter in an embodiment according to which two rotary joints of the system are provided on the ship. Similarly, according to the invention, it is conceivable to provide three rotary joints or only one on the ship.
Sur les figures, la référence 1 désigne un navire tel qu'un méthanier navette, 2 le manifold du navire, 3 un bras de transfert articulé qui comporte à son extrémité libre un dispositif de connexion / déconnexion au manifold, désigné par la référence 4 et dont l'autre extrémité est reliée à la tuyauterie 5 de l'unité de production ou de stockage. Cette unité pourrait être flottante ou fixe. La figure montre le système de transfert au cours d'une connexion au manifold du navire.In the figures,
Le bras articulé 3 comporte essentiellement trois segments de tuyauterie articulés les uns aux autres, à savoir un premier segment de support 6 dont l'extrémité libre est reliée à la tuyauterie 5, un deuxième segment de bras 7, dit bras interne, qui est relié au segment 6 par un premier joint tournant 8 et dont l'autre extrémité est reliée par un deuxième joint tournant 9 à un coude 12 à 90 degrés relié par son autre extrémité à un troisième joint tournant 11 qui relie ce coude au troisième segment de bras 10, dit bras externe. L'extrémité inférieure libre du bras externe est reliée par un quatrième joint tournant 15 au dispositif de connexion 4.The articulated
Il est à noter que l'axe de rotation du joint tournant 9 est perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation du joint 8, l'axe du joint tournant 11 est perpendiculaire à l'axe du joint 9 et l'axe du joint 15 est perpendiculaire à celui du joint 11. La figure schématique 3 fait clairement apparaître ces orientations des quatre joints rotatifs du bras articulé 3, ainsi que la disposition relative des différents coudes et pièces d'interconnexion.It should be noted that the axis of rotation of the
Les deux joints rotatifs manquants du dispositif de transfert à six degrés de liberté et donc six joints rotatifs sont prévus sur le navire. Ces deux joints de rotation font partie de la tuyauterie de connexion 18 qui est fixée sur le manifold 2 et est formée par deux coudes à 90° 19, 20. Les deux joints tournants restants désignés par les références 26 et 27 sont prévus l'un, 27, de même axe que le manifold 2 auquel est relié le coude 19, l'autre 26 reliant les coudes 19 et 20. Les axes des joints tournants 26 et 27 sont orientés perpendiculairement l'un à l'autre.The two missing rotary joints of the transfer device with six degrees of freedom and therefore six rotary joints are provided on the ship. These two rotation joints are part of the
Le système de transfert est équipé d'un dispositif de guidage et de manutention dont une partie est montée sur le bras articulé et une autre sur la tuyauterie de connexion 18.The transfer system is equipped with a guiding and handling device, part of which is mounted on the articulated arm and another part on the
Ce dispositif de guidage comporte, de façon connue en soi, une pinoche 28 qui est orientée par l'effort de traction du câble 35 indiquée plus loin et montée sur un bras de support 29 supporté par l'élément de tuyauterie 20 pour être décalé latéralement de la bride 21, et une trompette 31 montée sur le dispositif de connexion 4 en étant latéralement déportée par un bras de support 32 du coupleur de service 33 du dispositif 4. Les supports 32 et 29 sont tels que les entraxes axe trompette 31 / axe coupleur de service 33 et axe pinoche 28 / axe bride 21 sont identiques. La coopération de la trompette et de la pinoche assure le parallélisme de la face de bride 21 et de la face du coupleur de service 33.This guiding device comprises, in known manner, a
Le dispositif comporte en outre un treuil 34 monté, dans l'exemple représenté, sur la partie supérieure du bras extérieur 10 du bras articulé 3 et un câble 35 susceptible d'être enroulé sur ce treuil et amené par des guide-câbles 36 à travers la trompette 31 pour être fixé, comme dans l'exemple représenté, à l'extrémité de la pinoche 28. Bien entendu, le treuil pourrait être déposé à tout autre endroit approprié, par exemple sur le bras de support de la trompette.The device further comprises a
Pour assurer un positionnement correct, le bras de support 29 de la pinoche 28 est pourvu à son extrémité d'une fourche d'indexage en rotation 38 destinée à coopérer avec un galet d'indexage en rotation 39 solidaire de la trompette 31 avec un déport latéral approprié correspondant au déport de la fourche 38 /pinoche 28. C'est la coopération du galet 39 et de la fourche 38, qui assure la bonne coaxialité du coupleur 33 et de la bride 21 par rotation autour de l'axe commun pinoche 28 / trompette 31.To ensure correct positioning, the
Il est encore à noter que le bras articulé 3 est équilibré à l'aide d'un contrepoids 41 disposé sur un prolongement 42 du bras interne 7. L'équilibrage doit être tel que le câble de manutention est toujours en tension lors des phases de connexion / déconnexion.It should also be noted that the articulated
Il est à noter que dans un souci d'optimisation de la manutention, on a, dans les figures présentées, avantagement disposé les différents éléments du bras de telle sorte que, quelque soit l'angle de rotation des joints tournants 8, 9, 11 et 15, l'axe de la trompette coupe toujours les axes de rotation des joints tournants 9, 11 et 15. De plus, on s'attachera lors de la réalisation d'un tel système, à disposer les éléments du bras externe 10 et du dispositif de transfert 4 de façon à amener le centre de gravité de ces éléments au niveau de l'axe de la trompette 31 et le plus haut possible. De même, côté manifold, les éléments de la tuyauterie de connexion 18 ont été disposés de telle sorte que l'axe de la pinoche coupe toujours les axes de rotation des joints tournants 26 et 27. On pourra de plus, lors de la réalisation de la tuyauterie de connexion 18, l'équilibrer à l'aide de contrepoids ou de dispositifs élastique (de type ressorts par exemple). L'ensemble de ces dispositions permet d'optimiser l'alignement du câble de manutention, de l'axe de la pinoche et de l'axe de la trompette quelque que soit la position relative entre le navire et l'unité de stockage ou de production et leurs mouvements.It should be noted that, for the sake of optimizing the handling, the figures presented advantageously have arranged the different elements of the arm so that, whatever the angle of rotation of the
Concernant le fonctionnement du système de transfert selon l'invention, on comprend aisément que les six joints tournants confèrent au système les six degrés de liberté nécessaires. Le positionnement correct du bras 3 sur la bride de connexion 21 du manifold est assuré par le dispositif de guidage (28, 31, 38, 39), ce qui permet au système de transfert selon l'invention d'être également utilisé en mer ouverte malgré les mouvements dynamiques engendrés par l'environnement (houle, courant, vent). En disposant une partie des joints tournants sur le navire, le bras articulé peut être moins imposant et plus léger.Regarding the operation of the transfer system according to the invention, it is easy to understand that the six rotating joints give the system the six degrees of freedom required. The correct positioning of the
