Abstract

The invention, with a rapid and inexpensive system of use (in comparison with currently existing systems making it necessary to land the boat) has the object of passing as many boats as possible through the "floating station" in one same port, whilst remaining afloat. The device implemented for these various works is as follows: a U-shaped floating hulk with great buoyancy constitutes the operational area. A lifting system with two submerged "cradles" makes it possible to clear the plane of flotation by 15 to 50 cm in order to proceed with cleaning the boatwork (upperworks). On each inner face of the longitudinal hulks there is fixed a rail on which there slides an articulated movable arm moved automatically, hydraulically, mechanically or electrically equipped with brushes, polishing felts or pressure jets. After having relowered the cradle system which remains under the boat, one proceeds with cleaning the underwater hull using the articulated movable arm. The polishing brushes are replaced by pressure jets.

Description

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser ces diverses opérations de nettoyage, de lustrage et de carénage (ou l'une seulement de ces opérations) plus rapidement, pour un cout moins élevé et aussi bien à flot qu'à sec.The object of the present invention is to carry out these various cleaning, buffing and fairing operations (or only one of these operations) more quickly, at a lower cost and both afloat and dry.

A ce jour, la methode traditionnelle pour effectuer les travaux de nettoyage carénage des bateaux nécessite la mise à terre de ceux-ci par des moyens divers : élévateur, grue, cale sèche etc... - manoeuvre comportant quelques risques et onéreuse.To date, the traditional method for carrying out the cleaning work for the fairing of the boats requires that they be earthed by various means: lift, crane, dry dock, etc. - maneuver involving some risks and costly.

Le dispositif mis cn oeuvre pour ces travaux est le suivant un engin flottant en forme de U, à grande flottabilité, constitué par 3 pontons en aluminium ou polyester, ou autre matériau. Cet ensemble constitue l'aire de stationnement dans laquelle entrera le bateau désireux d'effectuer les diffèrentes opérations choisies par l'usager propriétaire. FIG. 1
Afin d'effectuer le travail de nettoyage-lustrage (oeuvres mortes) pour les bateaux, il est nécessaire de monter légèrement la bateau (d'environ 15 à 50 cm) afin de procède d'abord au nettoyage de la flottaison.Cette partie est en effet la plus sale ; (contact permanent avec les salissures de port et hydrocarbures flottant à la surface.) FIG. 2
Pour relever le navire, l'une des solutions retenues consiste en 2 "bers" immergés que l'on relève vers le haut par une traction verticale, hydraulique, môcanique ou électrique. Cet Le traction reste faible car on n' a à relever qu'une faible partie do poids total du navire. FIG. 2 (3a, 4b, 5c)
Sur chaque face interieure des 2 pontons longitudinaux est fixé un rail guide et porteur d'un bras articulé et mobile. FIG. 3 (la, 2b)
A l'extrémité de ce bras, on fixe une série de brosses ou feutres à lustrer.The device used for this work is the following, a U-shaped floating device with high buoyancy, consisting of 3 pontoons made of aluminum or polyester, or other material. This set constitutes the parking area into which the boat wishing to carry out the various operations chosen by the owner user will enter. FIG. 1
In order to carry out the cleaning-buffing work (dead works) for the boats, it is necessary to slightly mount the boat (about 15 to 50 cm) in order to first clean the waterline. indeed the dirtiest; (permanent contact with port soiling and oil floating on the surface.) FIG. 2
To raise the ship, one of the solutions chosen consists of 2 submerged "cradles" which are lifted upwards by vertical, hydraulic, mechanical or electric traction. This traction remains low because we only have to note a small part of the total weight of the ship. FIG. 2 (3a, 4b, 5c)
On each interior face of the 2 longitudinal pontoons is fixed a guide rail and carrying an articulated and mobile arm. FIG. 3 (la, 2b)
At the end of this arm, a series of brushes or felts to be polished are fixed.

Ces brosses sont actionnées par air, hydrauliquement ou mécaniquement (ou autre). FIG. 6-7
Le bras se déplace par bande longitudinale d'une extrémité à l'autre du franc-bord, s'arrêtant automatiquement aux extrémités de coque par limitateurs de fin de course. Le bras opère par bande successive en partant du liston jusqu'à la ligne de flottaison (au-dessus de l'antifouling).These brushes are actuated by air, hydraulically or mechanically (or otherwise). FIG. 6-7
The arm moves by longitudinal strip from one end to the other of the freeboard, automatically stopping at the hull ends by limit switches. The arm operates in successive bands, starting from the liston to the waterline (above the antifouling).

A la place des feutres à lustrer, on peut adapter des brosses de nettoyage ou adapter un jet à pression variable. FIG. 6-7
Ce bras est aussi utilisé pour le carénage, partie immergée de la coque. On substitue par démontage rapide le système à lustrer par une petite "rampe jet" à forte pression d'eau en utilisant de l'eau de mer ou de 1 'eau douce, afin de procéder au nettoyage des oeuvres vives.Instead of the polishing felts, you can adapt cleaning brushes or adapt a jet with variable pressure. FIG. 6-7
This arm is also used for the fairing, the submerged part of the hull. The system to be buffed is replaced by rapid disassembly by a small "jet ramp" at high water pressure using sea water or fresh water, in order to clean the live works.

Le bras travaillera de façon identique par bandes, automatiquement, jusqu'aux extrémités avant et arrière de la quille, ou dond du bateau lorsqu'il s'agit d'une vedette à moteur. FIG. 3-2
L'industrialisation de Z'invention va permettre aux utilisateurs finaux un gain de temps considérable (comparativement aux systèmes existant actuellement). I1 convient d'y adjoindre une efficacité accrue et un faible coût.The arm will work identically in bands, automatically, to the front and rear ends of the keel, or dond the boat when it is a motor boat. FIG. 3-2
The industrialization of the invention will allow end users to save considerable time (compared to systems currently in existence). It should be combined with increased efficiency and low cost.

Pour ces raisons, le sgsteme sera industriellement dupliqué et installé dans tous les ports et marina nationaux et internationaux qui voudront bien l'accueillir.For these reasons, the sgsteme will be industrially duplicated and installed in all national and international ports and marinas that will welcome it.

L'invention permet aussi d'effectuer d'autres services manuels par le manipulateur de l'appareil : nettoyage des ponts par jets à pression, nettoyage des cales de bateaux, pression à eau chaude.The invention also makes it possible to perform other manual services by the manipulator of the apparatus: cleaning of the bridges by pressure jets, cleaning of the holds of boats, pressure with hot water.

L'invention fonctionne parfaitement par tout autre système de levage et en particulier un levage complet du bateau hors de l'eau.The invention works perfectly by any other lifting system and in particular a complete lifting of the boat out of the water.

De la sorte, on pourrait pratiquer des travaux rapides sur les carènes ou appliquer les peintures antifouling.In this way, we could do quick work on the hulls or apply antifouling paints.

L'invention peut aussi parfaitement fonctionner par un portique de levage classique placé sur le ponton.The invention can also function perfectly by a conventional lifting gantry placed on the pontoon.

Le principe de nettoyage, lustrage et carénage par bras articulés est aussi adaptable a un bateau â terre, au sec, en montant le bras sur un chariot commandé manuellement ou non. The principle of cleaning, buffing and fairing by articulated arms is also adaptable to a dry land boat, by mounting the arm on a cart controlled manually or not.
