Description

"Dispositif de levage d'une embarcation" "Lifting device of a boat"

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de levage d'une embarcation. Elle s'applique au domaine du carénage de l'inspection de l'entretien et de la réparation pour tout type d'embarcation et notamment pour des bateaux de plaisance. La présente invention permet la mise à sec de l'embarcation pour son stockage, son entretien, sa réparation, son inspection ou tout autre activité.The present invention relates to a device for lifting a boat. It applies to the field of the refit of the inspection of the maintenance and the repair for any type of boat and in particular for pleasure boats. The present invention allows the dry setting of the boat for storage, maintenance, repair, inspection or any other activity.

Il existe de nombreuses situations dans lesquelles des bateaux doivent être mis hors d'eau en particulier pour une intervention sur la coque. Les matériels employés jusqu'à présent dans les aires de carénage sont particulièrement lourds et coûteux si bien que les immobilisations engendrées pour les bateaux sont chères et prennent un temps non négligeable. On constate que les installations de carénage actuelles sont particulièrement mal adaptées aux entretiens courants et à certains types d'embarcation et en particulier des bateaux de plaisance de petite taille.There are many situations in which boats must be put out of water especially for an intervention on the hull. The materials used so far in the fairing areas are particularly heavy and expensive so that the fixed assets generated for the boats are expensive and take a not insignificant time. It is noted that current fairing facilities are particularly poorly suited to routine maintenance and certain types of craft and in particular small pleasure boats.

On connaît par ailleurs du document US-A-5 394 814 un dispositif de levage de navire disposant d'une structure avec des flotteurs aptes à être remplis ou vidés et utilisant deux bras articulés sur la structure et montés d'autre part sur le quai contre lequel la structure vient s'accrocher. Ce type d'installation n'est pas rapportable à tout type de quai car il nécessite de disposer, sur le quai, de l'ensemble des moyens de fonctionnement du système et notamment des compresseurs, du tableau de commande, et de la liaison des bras articulés.Also known from US-A-5 394 814 a vessel lifting device having a structure with floats capable of being filled or emptied and using two arms articulated on the structure and mounted on the other side on the dock against which the structure hangs. This type of installation is not reportable to any type of platform because it requires to have, on the platform, all the operating means of the system including the compressors, the control panel, and the connection of the articulated arms.

Il existe donc un besoin de proposer un dispositif de levage d'une embarcation permettant une utilisation plus souple et autorisant en particulier une plus grande mobilité de l'ensemble. La présente invention s'inscrit dans ce cadre et propose à cet effet, un dispositif de levage comportant une partie de ponton par rapport à laquelle une structure de réception de l'embarcation est mobile par levage, le ponton étant lui-même apte à être arrimé à un quai. De cette façon, l'ensemble du dispositif peut être rapporté, sans aucune nécessité d'adaptation, à tout type de quai dans un port quelconque. Il peut être déplacé sans difficulté puisque l'ensemble est flottant. Il s'agit donc d'un ensemble unitaire et intégral remplissant à lui- même toutes les fonctions nécessaires au carénage.There is therefore a need to provide a device for lifting a boat allowing a more flexible use and allowing in particular greater mobility of the whole. The present invention falls within this framework and proposes for this purpose, a lifting device comprising a portion of pontoon with respect to which a receiving structure of the boat is movable by lifting, the pontoon being itself able to be stowed at a dock. In this way, the entire device can be reported, without any need for adaptation, to any type of dock in any port. It can be moved without difficulty since the whole is floating. It is therefore a unitary and integral unit filling itself all the functions necessary for the fairing.

Par ailleurs, suivant une variante préférée de l'invention, la partie de plateforme constituant la structure de réception de l'embarcation comporte un plateau permettant la circulation éventuelle de piétons et la récupération des effluents ce qui est particulièrement utile pour respecter les normes les plus strictes en matière de recyclage de fluides usés et polluants.Furthermore, according to a preferred variant of the invention, the platform part constituting the receiving structure of the boat comprises a plate allowing the possible circulation of pedestrians and the recovery of the effluents which is particularly useful for meeting the highest standards. strict rules for the recycling of used and polluting fluids.

D'autres buts et avantages apparaîtront au cours de la description qui suit qui présente un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention cependant non limitatif.Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the description which follows, which presents a preferred embodiment of the invention, which is however non-limiting.

Auparavant, il est rappelé que l'invention concerne un dispositif de levage d'une embarcation comportant une structure de réception de l'embarcation et des moyens de levage de ladite structure, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte un ponton par rapport auquel la structure de réception est mobile par levage, ledit ponton étant lui-même apte à être arrimé à un quai.Before, it is recalled that the invention relates to a lifting device of a boat comprising a structure for receiving the boat and lifting means of said structure, characterized by the fact that it comprises a pontoon relative to which the receiving structure is movable by lifting, said pontoon itself being able to be docked to a dock.

- que la structure de réception est une plateforme comportant, en partie supérieure, un plateau et, en partie inférieure, des moyens de ballastage,the receiving structure is a platform comprising, in the upper part, a plate and, at the bottom, ballasting means,

- que les moyens de ballastage comportent une pluralité de flotteurs aptes à être remplis ou vidés d'un fluide individuellement,the ballasting means comprise a plurality of floats that can be filled or emptied with a fluid individually,

- qu'il comporte des moyens de régulation de l'assiette de la plateforme par la commande de ballastage des flotteurs. - qu'il comporte 12 rangées de flotteurs orientés latéralement sous le plateau,it comprises means for regulating the attitude of the platform by the ballast control of the floats. - it has 12 rows of floats oriented laterally under the plate,

- qu'il comporte deux flotteurs orientés longitudinalement vers le milieu des bords latéraux du plateau,it comprises two floats oriented longitudinally towards the middle of the lateral edges of the plate,

- que des bers sont montés déployables sur le plateau, - que le plateau porte au moins une passerelle d'accès piéton en surélévation par rapport au plateau,- that bers are mounted deployable on the plateau, - that the tray carries at least one pedestrian access gateway raised above the plateau,

- que le ponton porte un poste de commande des moyens de levage. Les dessins ci-joints sont donnés à titre d'exemples et ne sont pas limitatifs de l'invention. Ils représentent seulement un mode de réalisation de l'invention et permettront de la comprendre aisément.- the pontoon carries a control station lifting means. The accompanying drawings are given by way of example and are not limiting of the invention. They represent only one embodiment of the invention and will make it easy to understand.

La figure 1 est une vue de côté du dispositif de l'invention en position rétractée de la structure de réception et la figure 2 en est une vue de face.Figure 1 is a side view of the device of the invention in the retracted position of the receiving structure and Figure 2 is a front view.

La figure 3 est une vue de côté du dispositif en phase de relevage et la figure 4 en est une vue de face.Figure 3 is a side view of the device in the lifting phase and Figure 4 is a front view.

La figure 5 est une vue de côté d'une phase ultérieure de relevage et la figure 6 en est une vue de face.Figure 5 is a side view of a subsequent lift phase and Figure 6 is a front view.

La figure 7 est une vue de côté du dispositif en position totalement relevée et la figure 8 en est une vue de face. La figure 9 montre en perspective le dispositif de l'invention.Figure 7 is a side view of the device in the fully raised position and Figure 8 is a front view. Figure 9 shows in perspective the device of the invention.

La figure 10 illustre le circuit hydraulique de commande des flotteurs. Dans la suite de la description, on entend par orientation longitudinale celle dirigée dans le sens long de l'embarcation apte à être reçue dans le dispositif. En opposition, la notion d'orientation latérale constitue à la direction transverse à la direction longitudinale précitée.Figure 10 illustrates the hydraulic control circuit of the floats. In the remainder of the description, longitudinal direction is understood to mean that directed in the long direction of the boat that can be received in the device. In opposition, the notion of lateral orientation constitutes the direction transverse to the aforementioned longitudinal direction.

En se référant à la figure 1 , on constate que le dispositif de l'invention comporte un ponton 1 pouvant être rapporté par une zone d'arrimage 10 sur le quai d'une installation portuaire. Cette arrimage s'effectue par tout moyen courant sans aucune nécessité d'adaptation du quai. Avantageusement, le ponton 1 est constitué d'une base 19 accessible par des utilisateurs du dispositif, l'ensemble étant monté flottant par l'intermédiaire d'une pluralité de flotteurs 6 présentés en figure 2.Referring to Figure 1, we see that the device of the invention comprises a pontoon 1 can be reported by a stowage area 10 on the dock of a port facility. This lashing is carried out by any current means without any need for adaptation of the dock. Advantageously, the pontoon 1 consists of a base 19 accessible by users of the device, the assembly being mounted floating through a plurality of floats 6 shown in FIG.

Le ponton 1 constitue une partie fixe du dispositif relativement à une partie mobile dans un mouvement de montée et de descente pour immerger ou émerger l'embarcation 5 accueillie dans le dispositif.The pontoon 1 constitutes a fixed part of the device relative to a moving part in a rising and descending movement to immerse or emerge the boat 5 accommodated in the device.

Plus précisément, la structure de réception de l'embarcation 5 est avantageusement constituée d'une plateforme 2 comprenant un plateau 3 (par exemple en matière métallique recouverte d'une couverture protectrice plastique) sur la face inférieure duquel sont fixés des flotteurs 4 constituant des moyens de ballastage aptes à être remplis ou vidés suivant les phases d'utilisation du dispositif.More specifically, the receiving structure of the boat 5 is advantageously constituted by a platform 2 comprising a plate 3 (for example of metal material covered with a protective cover plastic) on the lower face of which are fixed floats 4 constituting ballasting means capable of being filled or emptied according to the phases of use of the device.

Dans le cas illustré, les moyens de ballastage comportent 12 rangées de flotteurs 4, et deux flotteurs 9 centraux.In the illustrated case, the ballasting means comprise 12 rows of floats 4, and two central floats 9.

La figure 10 montre la répartition des flotteurs.Figure 10 shows the distribution of the floats.

Deux paires de flotteurs 4a situées de part et d'autres des flotteurs 9 centraux sont fixes. Ils sont emplis de mousse ou d'air et compensent le poids de la plateforme 2. Les flotteurs 4b forment le ballast actif et sont commandés individuellement en remplissage ou purge d'air.Two pairs of floats 4a located on either side of the central floats 9 are fixed. They are filled with foam or air and compensate the weight of the platform 2. The floats 4b form the active ballast and are individually controlled filling or bleeding air.

Les flotteurs d'extrémité, repérés 4c, servent au réglage précis de l'horizontalité de la plateforme. Ils permettent une réduction du couple de renversement longitudinal alors que les flotteurs 9 compensent le couple transversal résiduel.The end floats, marked 4c, are used to precisely adjust the horizontality of the platform. They allow a reduction of the longitudinal reversal torque while the floats 9 compensate the residual transverse torque.

Une soufflante à canal latérale et un ensemble de vannes commandent ce système de flotteurs.A side channel blower and a set of valves control this float system.

Dans l'exemple illustré il y a donc 14 flotteurs distincts constituant les moyens de ballastage. On comprend aisément que la formation d'une telle quantité de flotteurs 4 permet d'ajuster précisément l'assiette de la plateforme 2 en commandant individuellement les moyens de ballastage. A ce sujet, le dispositif de l'invention comporte avantageusement des moyens de mesure de l'assiette et une régulation de l'assiette par commande de remplissage ou de vidage de chaque flotteur 4. La plateforme 2 comprenant un plateau 3, l'accès piéton est autorisé comme cela ressort des différentes figures. Par ailleurs, cela permet de disposer une pluralité de bacs de récupération d'eau usée, d'huile, etc.In the illustrated example there are therefore 14 separate floats constituting the ballast means. It is easily understood that the formation of such a quantity of floats 4 makes it possible to precisely adjust the attitude of the platform 2 by individually controlling the ballast means. In this regard, the device of the invention advantageously comprises means for measuring the attitude and regulation of the attitude by filling or emptying control of each float 4. The platform 2 comprising a plate 3, the access pedestrian is allowed as is apparent from the different figures. Furthermore, this allows to have a plurality of waste water collection tanks, oil, etc..

Le ponton 1 et la plateforme 2 sont reliés par un système d'articulation fonctionnant sous la forme de parallélogramme déformable et comprenant deux bras 7-8 articulés à l'une de leurs extrémités sur le ponton 1 et à l'autre extrémité sur la plateforme 2 tel que cela ressort par exemple des figures 1 , 3, 5 et 7. Plus particulièrement, deux paires de bras 7-8 sont avantageusement formées de part et d'autre du ponton 1 et de la plateforme 2. De sorte à autoriser un grand débattement des bras 7-8 relativement au ponton 1 , ceux-ci sont préférentiellement articulés sur les flans du ponton 1 comme cela ressort des figures.The pontoon 1 and the platform 2 are connected by a hinge system operating in the form of deformable parallelogram and comprising two arms 7-8 articulated at one of their ends on the pontoon 1 and at the other end on the platform 2 as is apparent for example from Figures 1, 3, 5 and 7. More particularly, two pairs of arms 7-8 are advantageously formed on either side of the pontoon 1 and the platform 2. So as to allow a large clearance of the arms 7-8 relative to the pontoon 1, they are preferably articulated on the flanks of the pontoon 1 as shown in the figures.

On a ici représenté un bras avant 7 articulé sur le ponton 1 sensiblement vers sa face avant (celle située en vis-à-vis de la plateforme 2) et un bras arrière situé plus vers la face arrière du ponton 1 (du côté de la zone d'arrimage 10).We have here represented a front arm 7 articulated on the pontoon 1 substantially towards its front face (that located vis-à-vis the platform 2) and a rear arm located more towards the rear face of the pontoon 1 (on the side of the lashing area 10).

Les paires de bras 7-8 participent au bon guidage et à la bonne régulation d'assiette de la plateforme 2 notamment au cours des phases de levage ou d'abaissement.The pairs of arms 7-8 participate in the good guidance and the correct attitude control of the platform 2 in particular during the lifting or lowering phases.

On notera que le dispositif de l'invention permet une descente largement suffisante pour accueillir des bateaux présentant une quille ou un gouvernail proéminent.Note that the device of the invention allows a descent largely sufficient to accommodate boats with a keel or a prominent rudder.

Du côté ponton 1 , une soufflante (ou un compresseur) peut être positionnée sur la base 19 de sorte à alimenter en fluide les moyens de ballastage constitués par les flotteurs 4. Par ailleurs, un poste de commande est également supporté par la base 19 de sorte à contrôler l'ensemble des opérations depuis ce ponton.On the pontoon side 1, a blower (or a compressor) can be positioned on the base 19 so as to supply fluid to the ballast means constituted by the floats 4. Moreover, a control station is also supported by the base 19 of so to control all operations from this pontoon.

Du côté plateforme 2, différents accessoires peuvent être mis en œuvre et en particulier des passerelles 11 -12 mobiles entre une position rétractée telle que visible en figure 1 et une position déployée par exemple présentée en figure 7 apte à l'accès piéton à un niveau surélevé relativement au plateau 3.On the platform side 2, various accessories can be implemented and in particular movable gangways 11 -12 between a retracted position as visible in Figure 1 and an extended position for example shown in Figure 7 able to access pedestrian level elevated relative to the plateau 3.

Les opérations de déploiement des passerelles 11 -12 sont réalisées dans le cas illustré par l'intermédiaire d'au moins un vérin commandé depuis le poste de commande.The deployment operations of the gateways 11-12 are carried out in the case illustrated by means of at least one cylinder controlled from the control station.

En ce qui concerne l'accueil de l'embarcation, on forme avantageusement une pluralité de bers 15-16 avec une surface supérieure apte à coopérer avec la coque du navire. Ces bers 15-16 sont montés déployables et sont également avantageusement commandés depuis le poste de commande.As regards the reception of the boat, it advantageously forms a plurality of 15-16 bers with an upper surface adapted to cooperate with the hull of the ship. These 15-16 bers are mounted deployable and are also advantageously controlled from the control station.

Une fois leur mise en marche opérée, un arrêt automatique peut être prévu lorsque les bers 15-16 accostent la coque de l'embarcation 5. Les figures annexées illustrent différentes positions actives et inactives des structures déployables 17-18 portant les bers 15-16.Once started, an automatic stop can be provided when the 15-16 bers dock the hull of the boat 5. The figures annexed illustrate various active and inactive positions of the deployable structures 17-18 carrying the 15-16 bers.

Le dispositif ainsi décrit peut facilement opérer une mobilité verticale de 0 à 5 mètres ce qui permet de recevoir des bateaux de dimension conséquente. En outre, l'ensemble des phases de réception de l'embarcation 5, de levage, d'accostage des bers et de mise en place des passerelles 11 -12, s'effectue de façon très rapide de sorte que l'immobilisation de l'embarcation 5 est particulièrement réduite.The device thus described can easily operate a vertical mobility of 0 to 5 meters which allows to receive boats of substantial size. In addition, all the phases of receiving the boat 5, lifting, docking of the bers and setting up the bridges 11 -12, is carried out very quickly so that the immobilization of the boat 5 is particularly reduced.

Le dispositif ici décrit est donc particulièrement compétitif pour réduire le coût des interventions sur des navires tels des bateaux de plaisance bien que cet exemple ne soit pas limitatif. The device described here is therefore particularly competitive to reduce the cost of interventions on ships such as pleasure boats, although this example is not limiting.
