Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vessel equipped with a floating object recovery device on the water, and such a recovery device.
- a floating object recovery device which takes the form of two inflatable tubes which are attached to the front of a ship and extend upstream of it.
- the inflatable tubes are arranged in V to sweep a larger surface of the water. Such strands thus form a funnel that directs water and floating objects forward of the ship where a cleaning device is provided.
- WO-A-95/21764 discloses a vessel that recovers floating waste.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a vessel equipped with a floating object recovery device on the water which does not have the drawbacks of the prior art and which in particular is easy to maneuver.
- a vessel comprising a hull at the bow of which is made an opening, and on each side of said opening, a device for recovery intended to recover the floating objects and guide them towards said opening, each recovery device comprising:
- a rigid pallet having meshes dimensioned so as not to let the floating objects pass but to let the water pass, said pallet being provided to take a storage position in which it is out of the water, a pickup position in it is immersed and arranged in a plane substantially perpendicular to the direction of advancement of the ship and upstream of the opening, and a recovery position in which it is immersed and arranged in a plane substantially parallel to the direction of advancement ship and upstream of the opening, and
- An operating device mounted on the hull, and on which is mounted said pallet, and which comprises means for ensuring the passage successively from the storage position to the pickup position and then to the recovery position and vice versa.
- the means of the operating device are provided for effecting the passage from the storage position to the pickup position by a rotation about a first horizontal axis of rotation and by a rotation about a second vertical axis of rotation, and to effect the transition from the pick-up position to the recovery position by a rotation about the second axis of rotation.
- the means of the maneuvering device comprise:
- a second shaft fixed on the base whose axis forms the second axis of rotation and on which a second sleeve integral with the first shaft is engaged.
- each pallet extends, in pickup positon, between an inner end which is upstream of the opening, and an outer end which is located towards the outside of the ship, the outer end has an arcuate profile towards the upstream and the inner end has a substantially planar profile.
- each recovery device comprises a tarpaulin intended to be fixed on said pallet in front of the stitches.
- the invention also proposes a device for recovering floating objects for a ship according to one of the preceding claims.
- FIGS. to 6 show a vessel equipped with a recovery device according to the invention during the various stages of implementation thereof.
- the terms relating to a position are taken with reference to a vessel navigating on the water with the recovery device in the pick-up position as shown in FIG. 4.
- the upstream and downstream directions are taken in reference to the direction of movement of the vessel as it moves forward.
- Fig. 1 shows a ship 50 which has a hull 54 at the bow of which is formed, an opening 52 through which floating objects on the water penetrate into the hull 54 for storage.
- the hull 54 also has here a rail 108.
- the ship 50 also has, port and starboard of the opening 52, a recovery device 100 which is mounted on the hull 54 and which is intended to recover the floating objects and guide them towards the opening 52.
- a recovery device 100 which is mounted on the hull 54 and which is intended to recover the floating objects and guide them towards the opening 52.
- the recovery device 100 disposed to starboard is shown and is described, but the recovery device 100 disposed port is symmetrical.
- the recovery device 100 comprises:
- a rigid pallet 102 having meshes dimensioned so as not to let the floating objects pass but to allow the water to pass, the pallet 102 being provided to take a storage position in which it is out of the water and, in particular , row against the rail 108, a pickup position in which it is immersed and arranged in a plane substantially perpendicular to the direction of advance of the ship 50 and upstream of the opening 52, and a recovery position in which it is immersed and disposed in a plane substantially parallel to the direction of advancement of the ship 50 and upstream of the opening 52, and
- An operating device 150 mounted on the shell 54, and on which is mounted said pallet 102, and which comprises means for ensuring the passage successively from the storage position to the pickup position and then to the recovery position and vice versa.
- the immersion of the pallet 102 is not complete otherwise the floating objects would pass over.
- the immersion is therefore partial on the height of the pallet 102.
- the pallet 102 has a lower edge 110 which, in the collection position, plunges into the water and an upper edge 112 which, in the collection position, remains above the water.
- the rigidity of the pallet 102 and the rapidity of its installation make it possible to intervene quickly on the places where the floating objects are.
- the pallet 102 is rigid so as not to bend under the effect of water when immersed.
- the pallet 102 here consists of a rigid frame 104 and a net 106 fixed inside the frame 104. It is also possible to provide that the pallet 102 consists of a single element for example synthetic resin.
- Fig. 1 shows the pallet 102 in storage position.
- the pallet 102 in the storage position, is disposed against the rail 108 of the shell 54, in an upside down position where the lower edge 110 is above the upper edge 112.
- Fig. 2 shows a first intermediate position between the storage position and the pickup position.
- Fig. 3 shows a second intermediate position between the first intermediate position and the pickup position.
- Fig. 4 shows the pickup position
- Fig. 5 shows a third intermediate position between the pick-up position and the recovery position.
- Fig. 6 shows the recovery position
- the passage from the storage position to the pickup position is performed by a rotation about a first horizontal axis of rotation 114 and then a rotation about a second axis of rotation.
- vertical rotation 116, and the passage from the collection position to the recovery position is effected by a rotation about the second axis of rotation 116.
- the means of the operating device 150 are provided for effecting the transition from the storage position to the pickup position by a rotation about the first axis of rotation 114 and then by a rotation around the second axis of rotation 1 16, and for effecting the transition from the collection position to the recovery position by a rotation about the second axis of rotation 116.
- the pallet 102 In the first intermediate position, the pallet 102 has been rotated about 90 ° about the first axis of rotation 114. In the second intermediate position, the pallet 102 has been rotated about 180 ° about the first axis of rotation 114. The pallet 102 then plunges into the water and its lower edge 110 is below the upper edge 112. The downstream face of the pallet 102 is against the shell 54.
- the pallet 102 is rotated about the second axis of rotation 116 to bring it into the pickup position substantially perpendicular to the direction of advancement of the ship 50 is that is transversely to the axis of the ship 50.
- the transition from the collection position to the recovery position is effected by continuing the rotation about the second axis of rotation 116 through the third intermediate position.
- the pallet 102 When in the pick-up position, the pallet 102 extends, in pick-up position, between an inner end which is upstream of the starboard edge of the opening 52, and an outward end which is outwardly of the ship 50.
- the outer end of the pallet 102 has an arched profile upstream when in the pickup position while the inner end has a substantially planar profile and perpendicular to the direction of advancement of the ship 50 to form a guide that guides floating objects to the opening 52.
- the pallets 102 are in the extension of one another but at a distance from one another and thus have a large span that can capture a maximum of floating objects.
- the two inner ends are thus disposed on either side of the opening 52.
- the pallets 102 are vis-à-vis one another and the outer ends are brought closer to each other so that the pallets 102 form a corridor along which the floating objects are guided towards the opening 52 and sucked by it.
- a rotation about the second axis of rotation 1 16 brings the pallet 102 above its pickup position
- a rotation about the first axis of rotation 114 brings the pallet 102 to the pickup position
- a rotation about the second axis of rotation 116 brings the pallet 102 into the retrieval position.
- the means constituting the operating device 150 comprise a base 152 fixed to the shell 54, a first shaft 154 whose axis forms the first axis of rotation 114 and on which a first sheath 155 integral with the pallet 102 and a second shaft 156 fixed on the base 152 whose axis forms the second axis of rotation 116 and on which is engaged a second sleeve 157 secured to the first shaft 154.
- the passage from the storage position to the second intermediate position is effected by the rotation of the first sleeve 155 around the first shaft 154 and the passage from the second intermediate position to the pickup position is effected by the rotation of the second sleeve 157 around the second tree 156.
- the passage from the collection position to the recovery position is effected by the rotation of the second sleeve 157 around the second shaft 156.
- the rotational movements about the first axis of rotation 114 and the second axis of rotation 116 are here operated manually, but it is possible to automate them by setting up suitable motors or jacks.
- the structure of the operating device 150 as the rotations around the first axis of rotation 114 and the second axis of rotation 116 are possible.
- the rotation about the second axis of rotation 1 16 is performed by a lever 160, a maneuvering shaft 162 attached to the shell 54 and a set of rods 170 which connects the lever 160 at the second tree 156.
- the rod assembly 170 comprises a first rod 172, an intermediate rod 174 and a second rod 176.
- the first rod 172 comprises a maneuvering sleeve 159 fitted on the operating shaft 162.
- the first rod 172 and its maneuvering sleeve 159 are thus rotatable about a vertical operating axis 178.
- At one end of the first rod 172 is fixed the lever 160 and, at the other end, is assembled at one end of the intermediate rod 174 by means of a removable pin which is not set up in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 and which is implemented in Figs. 4, 5 and 6.
- the other end of the intermediate rod 174 is assembled at one end of the second rod 176 by means of a pin and the other end of the second rod 176 is fixed to the second sleeve 157.
- each recovery device 100 further comprises a cover.
- the tarpaulin which is placed in front of the mesh with respect to the direction of movement of the ship 50 prevents the meshes from being soiled by the liquid and guides the liquid towards the opening 52.
- the tarpaulin is for example fixed on the rigid frame 104 by all adequate means such as: frame wrap, push button type button ...
