Definitions

  • the invention relates to barges carrying a device for recovering floating materials and in particular floating pollution, in which said device has a slightly submerged mouth, framed by two articulated oblong elements which laterally delimit its field of action and followed by an elevator for transporting and discharging said materials into a settling and storage tank carried by the barge.
  • Such barges are known, in particular for patents FR-A-2 157 239 and US-A-4 033 869, and there is also known a floating point recovery device (FR-A-2 217 483) comprising arms articulated sides.
  • FR-A-2 217 483 the elements, framing the mouthpiece of the device, have their divergent free ends and are articulated only to be folded laterally (FR-A-2 157 239, FR-A-2 217 483) or towards top (US-A-4,033,869) when the device is not in operation.
  • Their function is to trap the portion of the floating layer which it is proposed to treat, between two solid walls - (FR-A-2 157 239 and FR-A-2 217 483) or "liquids" (US- A-4033869).
  • the relative displacement of materials - mouth is obtained by advancing the barge (FR-A-2 157 239, US-A-4033869) or by the suction effect of the device itself (FR-A-2 217 483), with the optional addition of a thrust of the floating layer by water jets (US-A-4 033 869, FR-A-2 217 483). This is insufficient because the displacement of the barge itself, or of the device, tends to push the floating layer out of the reach of the recovery device.
  • each of the two articulated elements respectively on either side of the mouth of the recovery device is a long floating blade, articulated around a fixed point or at least three orthogonal axes and carrying at an appropriate distance from this articulation an operating arm directed upwards and forming with the blade an obtuse angle so that it can be grasped, by its end forming a handle, by an operator on board the barge, and that the two blades can be separated from one another in a position where they do not touch the layer of floating materials and then be brought together in a vertical position until their free ends come to meet , said blades being partly immersed in the layer of floating materials during this approaching movement.
  • the pressurized water can come, for example, from a pump which draws water from the environment in which the barge floats.
  • Stabilization of the immersion depth of the mouth is achieved by taking as a settling tank a so-called submerged tank at substantially constant level.
  • This initial level being variable, as it is said above since it depends on the draft to be respected, it is necessary to be able to adjust the level of the discharge orifice of the overflow pipe; this adjustment can be achieved by constituting the ascending part of said pipe by telescopic elements or by providing a flexible pipe over at least part of its length.
  • FIG. 5 is a plan view of the barge of FIG. 4,
  • FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C and 6D are simplified longitudinal sections of the barge of FIG. 4 in the position respectively of empty navigation at the start of work (tank filled with water), during recovery work and at the end of job.
  • Figure 7 is a schematic cross section of a submerged tank barge with automatic overflow compensation.
  • a barge 1 carries an apparatus 2 for recovering floating materials and a tank 3 for settling and storage for said materials which are poured therein by the elevator of the apparatus 2.
  • the barge is provided with two blades 4a, 4b articulated respectively on either side of the mouth 2a on the hull of the barge or on the recovery device 2 as is the case in the example shown.
  • the articulation of each of the blades can be carried out around a fixed point (ball joint), but certain rotations must be limited by stops and it is then preferable to provide, as shown (figure 2), an articulation around three orthogonal axes 5, 10 and 11, one of which, 5, is substantially vertical.
  • Axis 5 is the scanning axis
  • axis 10 is the lifting axis
  • axis 11 is the tilting axis.
  • each blade carries an operating arm 9 directed obliquely upward so that its end 9a forming a handle can be grasped by an operator on board the barge.
  • the blades 4a and 4b are spaced apart from each other as shown in solid lines in Figure 1 (position I) and each blade having its cross section vertically (i position of Figure 3), to turn the towards each other according to the arrows f 1 , around the axes 5, acting on the arms 9 until their free ends meet in the median plane of the barge in position III, after having passed through the intermediate position It.
  • This sweeping movement of the surface of the body of water tends to bring the floating materials in the axis of the barge.
  • each blade may have a nozzle 8, as the blade 4a in Figure 1, or a plurality of nozzles 8, as the blade 4 b. All the nozzles are supplied by a flexible pipe with pressurized water, thanks to a pump drawing the water on which the barge floats.
  • Each blade carries at its free end, on the face facing outwards, a float 16 (FIG. 2) which "follows" the surface movements of the water body (the blade playing around the axis 10) and in at the same time creates a torque which, in FIG. 2, tends to rotate the blade 4a around the axis 11 in the direct direction, thus applying the blade against a stop 17 in the vertical position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • a float 16 FIG. 2
  • the efficiency of the device 2 also depends on the depth of immersion of the mouthpiece 2 a .
  • the optimal immersion depth is known, it is important to adjust the position of the device accordingly and to avoid variations in the draft of the barge to maintain this substantially constant immersion.
  • FIG. 1 there is a barge 1 carrying a device 2 for recovering floating materials and a tank 3 for settling and storage.
  • FIGs 4 and 5 is further shown the motor 20 for propelling the barge.
  • the floating materials collected by the mouth 2a of the device 2 are transported by the elevator of said device and then poured into the tank 3, here by means of a chute 21.
  • the tank 3 is a so-called submerged tank, that is to say filled with water at the start of work and this water is removed as the water + floating materials mixture from the device 2 is poured out.
  • the tank 3 can be described as a submerged tank at constant level when this compensation is obtained, but this is not perfectly exact.
  • the adjustment of the water evacuation can be done manually, for example using a handwheel 22 actuating a flat shutter 23 placed at the bottom of the tank on an outlet orifice 24.
  • the tank is filled with water until the suitable draft H is obtained and the immersion of the mouth 2a of the recovery device is adjusted.
  • the shutter 23 is always closed.
  • FIG. 6C the work of recovery of the floating materials 26 is started.
  • the shutter 23 is open so as to partially release the orifice 24 so that the water from the tank flows with a flow rate corresponding to that of the arrival of the water + materials mixture.
  • the opening is adjusted by trial and error and must be corrected intermittently to maintain the H value of the draft.
  • the tank 3 is substantially filled with the materials recovered.
  • the operator is informed of this by means of a dip tube 25, the upper end of which exceeds the maximum filling level of the tank and the lower end of which opens near the bottom of the tank.
  • the recovered materials reach the level of the lower end of the tube, it passes through the latter and we see them appear on the surface at 27 and the operator then closes the shutter 23.
  • an automatic compensation can be provided by means of an overflow tube 28, as shown in FIG. 7, plunging to the vicinity of the bottom of the tank 3 and bent at right angles to its upper part to open onto one of the lateral sides of the barge.
  • An exact weight compensation is thus obtained at all times between the water discharged through the orifice 29a of the overflow and the recovered materials 26 poured into the tank.
  • This compensation being done by weight, the level reached in the tank by the materials 26 is slightly higher than the level of the water in the overflow tube, this latter level being the initial level of the water in the tank before the start of recovery work. As has been said above, this initial water level depends on the draft H to be respected and it can therefore vary although in fairly small proportions.
  • the bent part 29 of the overflow is fitted telescopically and with gentle friction on the vertical part 28 and a link 30 or any other means of retaining or blocking makes it possible to maintain it in the chosen position.
  • a flexible part can be provided, which also makes it possible to vary the level of the discharge orifice.
