Description

Navire destiné à ramasser des éléments flottant sur l'eau  Ship destined to collect floating elements on the water
La présente invention concerne un navire destiné à ramasser des éléments flottant sur l'eau. The present invention relates to a vessel for collecting floating elements on the water.
Un navire destiné à ramasser les éléments polluants flottant sur l'eau comporte une coque qui présente une ouverture à la proue de part et d'autre de la ligne de flottaison et un moyen de stockage. Lorsque le navire avance, les éléments polluants pénètrent par l'ouverture et sont stockés dans le moyen de stockage.  A vessel intended to collect the polluting elements floating on the water comprises a hull which has an opening at the bow on either side of the waterline and a storage means. As the ship advances, pollutants enter the opening and are stored in the storage means.
Le document JP-A-51 151 981 divulgue un navire qui ramasse les éléments polluants par la poupe. Le navire ne présente pas de moyens d'enfoncement puisque le canal qui est destiné à évacuer l'eau par-dessous le navire ne présente pas de volet pouvant être fermé. En phase de ramassage ou en marche normale, le canal reste donc toujours rempli d'eau.  JP-A-51 151 981 discloses a vessel that collects pollutants through the stern. The vessel does not have any means of depression since the channel which is intended to evacuate the water below the vessel does not have a shutter that can be closed. During the collection phase or during normal operation, the channel always remains filled with water.
Bien qu'un tel navire donne de bons résultats, la présence de l'ouverture à la proue gêne la progression du navire lorsqu'il n'est plus en phase de ramassage.  Although such a vessel gives good results, the presence of the opening at the bow hinders the progress of the ship when it is no longer in the pickup phase.
Un objet de la présente invention est de proposer un navire destiné à ramasser des éléments flottant sur l'eau qui ne présente pas les inconvénients de l'art antérieur et qui en particulier n'est pas gêné lorsqu'il est en marche normale.  An object of the present invention is to provide a vessel for collecting floating elements on the water which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art and which in particular is not disturbed when in normal operation.
A cet effet, est proposé un navire comportant: - une coque qui présente à la poupe une ouverture munie d'un premier volet mobile entre une position d'ouverture dans laquelle l'ouverture est dégagée et une position de fermeture dans laquelle l'ouverture est obturée, For this purpose, a vessel is proposed comprising: a hull which has at the stern an opening provided with a first movable flap between an open position in which the opening is disengaged and a closed position in which the opening is closed,
- un moyen de stockage disposé dans la coque et présentant une fenêtre qui s'étend en vis-à-vis de l'ouverture, et  storage means disposed in the shell and having a window which extends opposite the opening, and
- des moyens d'enfoncement destinés à enfoncer la coque dans l'eau lorsque le premier volet est en position d'ouverture et à faire remonter la coque lorsque le premier volet est en position de fermeture, lesdits moyens d'enfoncement étant constitués d'un canal d'extraction s'étendant sous la ligne de flottaison à un niveau inférieur à celui de l'ouverture et de la fenêtre entre une ouverture d'entrée et une ouverture de sortie, ladite ouverture d'entrée s'étendant entre l'ouverture et la fenêtre, et l'ouverture de sortie communiquant avec l'eau à l'extérieur de la coque sous la ligne de flottaison, et d'un deuxième volet mobile entre une position d'ouverture dans laquelle l'ouverture de sortie est dégagée et une position de fermeture dans laquelle l'ouverture de sortie est obturée.  - driving means for driving the shell into the water when the first flap is in the open position and to raise the hull when the first flap is in the closed position, said driving means being constituted of an extraction channel extending below the waterline at a level below that of the opening and the window between an inlet opening and an outlet opening, said inlet opening extending between the opening and the window, and the outlet opening communicating with the water outside the hull below the waterline, and a second movable flap between an open position in which the outlet opening is disengaged and a closed position in which the outlet opening is closed.
Avantageusement, la fenêtre est munie d'un troisième volet qui est mobile entre une position d'ouverture dans laquelle la fenêtre est dégagée et une position de fermeture dans laquelle la fenêtre est obturée.  Advantageously, the window is provided with a third flap which is movable between an open position in which the window is disengaged and a closed position in which the window is closed.
Avantageusement, le navire comporte en outre, une turbine disposée dans le canal d'extraction et destinée à propulser l'eau contenue dans le canal d'extraction vers l'ouverture de sortie.  Advantageously, the vessel further comprises a turbine disposed in the extraction channel and intended to propel the water contained in the extraction channel towards the outlet opening.
Avantageusement, le navire comporte en outre un système de ballast.  Advantageously, the ship further comprises a ballast system.
Avantageusement, le navire comporte une cabine de pilotage comprenant un premier poste de pilotage orienté vers la proue et un deuxième poste de pilotage orienté vers la poupe.  Advantageously, the ship comprises a cockpit including a first cockpit facing the bow and a second cockpit facing the stern.
Avantageusement, le moyen de stockage comporte une pluralité de réservoirs, chacun présentant une fenêtre qui s'étend en vis-à-vis de l'ouverture et qui est muni d'un volet mobile entre une position d'ouverture dans laquelle la fenêtre est dégagée et une position de fermeture dans laquelle la fenêtre est obturée, et chaque réservoir présente une pompe destinée à pomper le contenu dudit réservoir.  Advantageously, the storage means comprises a plurality of reservoirs, each having a window which extends opposite the opening and which is provided with a movable flap between an open position in which the window is disengaged and a closed position in which the window is closed, and each reservoir has a pump for pumping the contents of said reservoir.
Les caractéristiques de l'invention mentionnées ci-dessus, ainsi que d'autres, apparaîtront plus clairement à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation, ladite description étant faite en relation avec les dessins joints, parmi lesquels : la Fig. 1 est une vue de côté d'un navire selon l'invention lorsqu'il est en phase de navigation, The characteristics of the invention mentioned above, as well as others, will appear more clearly on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment, said description being given in relation to the attached drawings, among which: FIG. 1 is a side view of a ship according to the invention when it is in the navigation phase,
la Fig. 2 est une vue de côté du navire de la Fig. 1 lorsqu'il est en phase de ramassage,  FIG. 2 is a side view of the vessel of FIG. 1 when in the pickup phase,
la Fig. 3 est une vue de côté du navire de la Fig. 1 lorsqu'il est chargé, et la Fig. 4 montre une variante du moyen de stockage.  FIG. 3 is a side view of the ship of FIG. 1 when loaded, and FIG. 4 shows a variant of the storage means.
La Fig. 1 montre un navire 100 destiné à ramasser les éléments flottant sur l'eau tels que des hydrocarbures par exemple. La Fig. 1 montre le navire 100 en phase de navigation avec la proue 102 orientée vers la direction (flèche 12) vers laquelle le navire 100 navigue. La référence 10 représente la ligne de flottaison du navire 100 en phase de navigation.  Fig. 1 shows a ship 100 for picking up floating elements on the water such as hydrocarbons for example. Fig. 1 shows the ship 100 in the navigation phase with the bow 102 facing the direction (arrow 12) towards which the ship 100 is sailing. The reference 10 represents the waterline of the ship 100 during the navigation phase.
La Fig. 2 montre le navire 100 en phase de ramassage avec la poupe 104 orientée vers la direction (flèche 14) vers laquelle le navire 100 navigue. La référence 20 représente la ligne de flottaison du navire 100 en phase de ramassage.  Fig. 2 shows the ship 100 in the pickup phase with the stern 104 facing the direction (arrow 14) towards which the ship 100 is sailing. Reference 20 represents the waterline of the ship 100 in the pickup phase.
La Fig. 3 montre le navire 100 en phase de stockage et de navigation avec la proue 102 orientée vers la direction (flèche 12) vers laquelle le navire 100 navigue. La référence 30 représente la ligne de flottaison du navire 100 en phase de stockage et de navigation. La ligne de flottaison 30 est entre la ligne de flottaison 10 et la ligne de flottaison 20.  Fig. 3 shows the ship 100 in the storage and navigation phase with the bow 102 facing towards the direction (arrow 12) towards which the ship 100 is sailing. The reference 30 represents the waterline of the ship 100 during the storage and navigation phase. The waterline 30 is between the waterline 10 and the waterline 20.
En phase de navigation normale, le navire 100 navigue en marche avant et en phase de ramassage, le navire 100 navigue en marche arrière.  In the normal navigation phase, the ship 100 navigates forward and in the collection phase, the ship 100 is sailing in reverse.
Le navire 100 comporte une coque 106 sur laquelle est montée une cabine de pilotage 108 et dans laquelle est disposé un moyen de stockage 110 qui prend ici la forme d'un conteneur.  The ship 100 comprises a shell 106 on which is mounted a control cabin 108 and in which is disposed a storage means 110 which here takes the form of a container.
Pour naviguer, en marche avant et en marche arrière, le navire 100 comporte par exemple au moins une hélice 112 et un gouvernail 114 disposés à l'arrière de la coque 106. Le navire 100 peut comporter d'autres éléments permettant sa navigation, comme par exemple des pods.  To navigate, in forward and reverse, the ship 100 comprises for example at least one propeller 112 and a rudder 114 disposed at the rear of the hull 106. The ship 100 may comprise other elements allowing its navigation, as for example pods.
La coque 106 présente à la poupe 104 une ouverture 116 qui s'étend sensiblement verticalement et qui est munie d'un premier volet 118 qui est mobile entre une position d'ouverture dans laquelle l'ouverture 116 est dégagée et une position de fermeture dans laquelle l'ouverture 116 est obturée par ledit premier volet 118. La position de fermeture correspond à la phase de navigation et la position d'ouverture correspond à la phase de ramassage. The shell 106 has at the stern 104 an opening 116 which extends substantially vertically and which is provided with a first flap 118 which is movable between an open position in which the opening 116 is disengaged and a closed position in which opening 116 is closed by said first flap 118. The closed position corresponds to the navigation phase and the open position corresponds to the pickup phase.
Le moyen de stockage 110 comprend également une fenêtre 120 qui s'étend en vis-à-vis de l'ouverture 116.  The storage means 110 also comprises a window 120 which extends opposite the opening 116.
Lorsque les éléments flottants sont stockés dans le moyen de stockage 110, la fenêtre 12 est munie d'un troisième volet 302 qui est mobile entre une position d'ouverture dans laquelle la fenêtre 120 est dégagée et une position de fermeture dans laquelle la fenêtre 120 est obturée par ledit troisième volet 302. La fermeture du troisième volet 302 permet de confiner les éléments flottants dans le moyen de stockage 110.  When the floating elements are stored in the storage means 110, the window 12 is provided with a third flap 302 which is movable between an open position in which the window 120 is disengaged and a closed position in which the window 120 is closed by said third flap 302. The closure of the third flap 302 makes it possible to confine the floating elements in the storage means 110.
Lorsque les éléments flottants ne sont pas stockés dans le moyen de stockage 110, mais automatiquement transvasés vers un autre un récipient adéquat, le troisième volet 302 n'est pas forcément nécessaire.  When the floating elements are not stored in the storage means 110, but automatically transferred to another a suitable container, the third flap 302 is not necessarily necessary.
Le navire 100 présente également des moyens d'enfoncement destinés à enfoncer la coque 106 dans l'eau lorsque le premier volet 118 est en position d'ouverture et à faire remonter la coque 106 lorsque le premier volet 118 est en position de fermeture.  The ship 100 also has driving means for driving the shell 106 into the water when the first flap 118 is in the open position and to raise the shell 106 when the first flap 118 is in the closed position.
Les moyens d'enfoncement comportent un canal d'extraction 122 qui s'étend sous la ligne de flottaison 10 à un niveau inférieur à celui de l'ouverture 116 et de la fenêtre 120 entre une ouverture d'entrée 124 et une ouverture de sortie 126 et un deuxième volet 128. L'ouverture d'entrée 124 s'étend sensiblement horizontalement et se situe entre l'ouverture 116 et la fenêtre 120. L'ouverture de sortie 126 communique avec l'eau à l'extérieur de la coque 106 sous la ligne de flottaison 10.  The driving means comprise an extraction channel 122 which extends below the waterline 10 at a level lower than that of the opening 116 and the window 120 between an inlet opening 124 and an outlet opening 126 and a second flap 128. The inlet opening 124 extends substantially horizontally and is located between the opening 116 and the window 120. The outlet opening 126 communicates with the water outside the hull 106 below the waterline 10.
Le deuxième volet 128 est associé à l'ouverture de sortie 126 et il est également mobile entre une position d'ouverture dans laquelle l'ouverture de sortie 126 est dégagée et une position de fermeture dans laquelle l'ouverture de sortie 126 est obturée.  The second flap 128 is associated with the outlet opening 126 and is also movable between an open position in which the outlet opening 126 is disengaged and a closed position in which the outlet opening 126 is closed.
Le fonctionnement du navire 100 est le suivant.  The operation of the ship 100 is as follows.
En phase de navigation normale, les volets 118, 128 et 302 sont fermés, et le navire 100 peut naviguer en avant ou en arrière. Lorsque le moyen de stockage 1 10 est vide le troisième volet 302 peut rester ouvert.  In the normal navigation phase, the flaps 118, 128 and 302 are closed, and the ship 100 can navigate forwards or backwards. When the storage means 1 10 is empty the third flap 302 can remain open.
En phase de ramassage, les volets 118, 128 et 302 sont ouverts. Le canal d'extraction 122 se remplit d'eau car il s'étend sous la ligne de flottaison 10 et ce remplissage entraîne alors un enfoncement de la coque 106 dans l'eau. La référence 20 représente la ligne de flottaison après enfoncement de la coque 106. In the collection phase, the flaps 118, 128 and 302 are open. The extraction channel 122 fills with water because it extends below the waterline 10 and this filling then causes a depression of the shell 106 in the water. Reference 20 represents the waterline after depression of hull 106.
L'ouverture 116 et la fenêtre 120 sont disposées de manière à ce que lorsque le navire 100 est enfoncé, la ligne de flottaison 20 et donc la surface de l'eau puisse pénétrer à travers elles.  The opening 116 and the window 120 are arranged so that when the ship 100 is depressed, the waterline 20 and thus the surface of the water can penetrate through them.
Le navire 100 navigue alors en marche arrière (14) et l'eau et les éléments flottants sont alors récoltés dans le moyen de stockage 110 tandis que l'eau qui se trouve sous ces éléments s'évacue par le canal d'extraction 122 et l'ouverture de sortie 126. Les éléments flottants peuvent ensuite être éventuellement pompés et stockés dans un récipient adéquat.  The ship 100 then sails in reverse (14) and the water and the floating elements are then harvested in the storage means 110 while the water under these elements is evacuated by the extraction channel 122 and the outlet opening 126. The floating elements can then be optionally pumped and stored in a suitable container.
Le retour en phase de navigation s'effectue par la fermeture des volets 118, 128 et 302 et le pompage de l'eau contenu dans le canal d'extraction 122 afin de l'évacuer vers l'extérieur de la coque 106 à l'aide d'une pompe, ce qui fait remonter la coque 106.  The return to the navigation phase is effected by closing the flaps 118, 128 and 302 and the pumping of the water contained in the extraction channel 122 in order to evacuate it outwardly of the hull 106 to the using a pump, which raises the hull 106.
Selon que les éléments flottants sont stockés ou non dans le moyen de stockage According to whether the floating elements are stored or not in the storage means
110 et plus généralement sur le navire 100, la coque 106 remontera au niveau de la ligne de flottaison 30 ou 10. 110 and more generally on the ship 100, the hull 106 will rise to the level of the water line 30 or 10.
Le fait que la coque 106 s'enfonce lors de la phase de ramassage, permet lorsque le navire 100 est en phase de navigation avant ou après le stockage que sa coque 106 soit moins enfoncée ce qui réduit la résistance de l'eau à l'avancement comme le montre les niveaux des lignes de flottaison 10, 20 et 30.  The fact that the hull 106 sinks during the pickup phase, allows when the ship 100 is in navigation before or after storage that its hull 106 is less recessed which reduces the resistance of the water to the progress as shown by the levels of the waterlines 10, 20 and 30.
Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, en phase de navigation, la ligne de flottaison 10 est au-dessous de l'ouverture 116 et, en phase de ramassage, la ligne de flottaison 20 est au-dessus de la partie inférieure de l'ouverture 116.  According to a particular embodiment of the invention, during the navigation phase, the waterline 10 is below the opening 116 and, during the collection phase, the waterline 20 is above the lower part of the opening 116.
Pour permettre une meilleure extraction de l'eau entrant par l'ouverture 116 vers l'extérieur de la coque 106, une turbine 130 est disposée dans le canal d'extraction 122. La turbine 130 propulse l'eau contenue dans le canal d'extraction 122 vers l'ouverture de sortie 126.  To allow a better extraction of the water entering through the opening 116 towards the outside of the shell 106, a turbine 130 is disposed in the extraction channel 122. The turbine 130 propels the water contained in the water channel. extraction 122 to the outlet opening 126.
Pour faciliter la conduite du navire 100 dans les phases de navigation et de ramassage, la cabine de pilotage 108 comprend un premier poste de pilotage 132 orienté vers la proue 102 qui est utilisé en phase de navigation, et un deuxième poste de pilotage 134 orienté vers la poupe 104 qui est utilisé en phase de ramassage.  To facilitate the operation of the ship 100 during the navigation and pickup phases, the cockpit 108 includes a first bow-oriented cockpit 102 which is used in the navigation phase, and a second cockpit 134 oriented towards the bow. the stern 104 which is used in the pickup phase.
L'enfoncement de la coque 106 dans l'eau est fonction du volume du canal d'extraction 122. Pour augmenter l'enfoncement de la coque 106 dans l'eau en phase de ramassage et ainsi augmenter le volume d'éléments flottants pouvant être récupérés dans le moyen de stockage 110, le navire 100 comporte des moyens d'enfoncement complémentaires qui sont prévus pour abaisser encore la ligne de flottaison en phase de ramassage. The depression of the shell 106 in the water is a function of the volume of the extraction channel 122. To increase the depression of the hull 106 in the water during the collection phase and thus to increase the volume of floating elements that can be recovered in the storage means 110, the ship 100 comprises complementary driving means which are provided for further lower the waterline during the pick-up phase.
Ces moyens d'enfoncement complémentaires sont par exemple un système de ballast du type comportant un ou des réservoirs disposés dans la coque 106 et pouvant être remplis d'eau ou vider pour augmenter au diminuer l'enfoncement de la coque 106 à l'aide de pompes appropriées.  These additional drive means are for example a ballast system of the type comprising one or tanks disposed in the shell 106 and can be filled with water or empty to increase the decrease the depression of the shell 106 with the aid of appropriate pumps.
La Fig. 4 montre une variante du moyen de stockage 410.  Fig. 4 shows a variant of the storage means 410.
Le moyen de stockage 410 comporte une pluralité de réservoirs 402, 404 et 406 qui sont ici les uns à la suite des autres.  The storage means 410 comprises a plurality of reservoirs 402, 404 and 406 which are here one after the other.
Chaque réservoir 402, 404, 406 présente une fenêtre respectivement référencée 120, 422, 424. Chaque fenêtre 120, 422, 424 est munie d'un volet 302, 412, 414 qui est mobile entre une position d'ouverture dans laquelle la fenêtre 120, 422, 424 est dégagée et une position de fermeture dans laquelle la fenêtre 120, 422, 424 est obturée.  Each tank 402, 404, 406 has a window respectively referenced 120, 422, 424. Each window 120, 422, 424 is provided with a flap 302, 412, 414 which is movable between an open position in which the window 120 , 422, 424 is disengaged and a closed position in which the window 120, 422, 424 is closed.
La fenêtre 120 du premier réservoir 402 correspond à la fenêtre du moyen de stockage 110 du mode de réalisation précédent.  The window 120 of the first reservoir 402 corresponds to the window of the storage means 110 of the previous embodiment.
Les fenêtres 120, 422 et 424 se trouvent en vis-à-vis de l'ouverture 116.  The windows 120, 422 and 424 are vis-à-vis the opening 116.
En ouvrant et fermant les volets 302, 412 et 414, il est possible d'isoler chaque réservoir 402, 404, 406 des autres réservoirs que ce soit au cours ou après le ramassage des éléments flottants.  By opening and closing the flaps 302, 412 and 414, it is possible to isolate each tank 402, 404, 406 from the other tanks either during or after the collection of the floating elements.
Chaque réservoir 402, 404, 406 présente alors une pompe pour pomper l'eau et les éléments flottants dudit réservoir 402, 404, 406 vers un autre des réservoirs 402, 404, 406.  Each reservoir 402, 404, 406 then has a pump for pumping water and the floating elements of said reservoir 402, 404, 406 to another of the reservoirs 402, 404, 406.
Par exemple, il est possible de vider les réservoirs en aval, c'est à dire les réservoirs 402 et 404, pour les déverser dans le réservoir le plus an amont, c'est à dire le réservoir 406. Ainsi, il est possible d'effectuer un nouveau ramassage d'éléments flottants avec uniquement les réservoirs en aval 402 et 404 et ainsi de suite.  For example, it is possible to empty the tanks downstream, that is to say the tanks 402 and 404, to dump them in the tank upstream an upstream, ie the tank 406. Thus, it is possible to carry out a new collection of floating elements with only downstream tanks 402 and 404 and so on.
A l'aide de moyens de chauffage appropriés, il sera également possible de chauffer l'eau et les éléments flottants contenus dans l'un des réservoirs 402, 404 et 406 pour favoriser la séparation de l'eau et des éléments flottants dans le cas d'une émulsion par exemple. Chaque réservoir 402, 404, 406 présente alors une pompe pour transférer uniquement les éléments flottants ainsi séparés de l'eau vers un récipient adéquat. With the aid of appropriate heating means, it will also be possible to heat the water and the floating elements contained in one of the tanks 402, 404 and 406 to promote the separation of water and floating elements in the case an emulsion for example. Each reservoir 402, 404, 406 then has a pump for transferring only the floating elements thus separated from the water to a suitable container.
Bien entendu, la présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples et modes de réalisation décrits et représentés, mais elle est susceptible de nombreuses variantes accessibles à l'homme de l'art.  Of course, the present invention is not limited to the examples and embodiments described and shown, but it is capable of many variants accessible to those skilled in the art.
