Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un appareil pour la surélévation des digues en continu.The present invention relates to an apparatus for continuously raising dikes.
Il est connu qu'un certain nombre de matières résiduaires issues des industries minières, métallurgiques ou de la chimie minérale sont éliminées par dépôt dans des sites choisis.It is known that a certain number of residual materials from the mining, metallurgical or mineral chemistry industries are eliminated by deposit in selected sites.
Ces dépôts sont constitués par des terrils formés par transport mécanique (bandes, bennes, camions, etc...) ou par transport hydraulique en suspension dans de l'eau.These deposits are formed by heaps formed by mechanical transport (belts, skips, trucks, etc.) or by hydraulic transport suspended in water.
Dans ce dernier cas le dépôt est formé d'un ou plusieurs bassins de décantation délimités par des digues. Dans chacun de ces bassins, le produit arrive sous forme de solide en suspension dans une tuyauterie. Le produit décante et forme le dépôt. L'eau de transport est séparée. La surélévation des digues peut alors être effectuée en utilisant le matériau décanté du bassin de décantation.In the latter case the deposit is formed by one or more settling basins delimited by dikes. In each of these tanks, the product arrives as a solid suspended in a pipe. The product settles and forms the deposit. The transport water is separated. The levees can then be raised using the decanted material from the settling tank.
Deux méthodes sont possibles. Selon la première on arrête provisoirement l'exploitation du bassin de décantation. On emploie alors le matériel de travaux publics courant : pelle mécanique, grue à benne, camion, bulldozer. Les nouvelles digues sont constituées avec ce matériau. Un nouveau cycle d'exploitation du bassin de décantation est ensuite commencé.Two methods are possible. According to the first, the operation of the settling tank is temporarily stopped. Standard public works equipment is then used: mechanical shovel, dump crane, truck, bulldozer. The new dikes are made with this material. A new operating cycle for the settling tank is then started.
Selon la seconde méthode la surélévation des digues est assurée sans mise hors service du bassin de décantation par couches successives de quelques dizaines de centimètres d'épaisseur. Dans ce cas les couches sont constituées à l'aide d'un "moule" glissant sur la digue.According to the second method, the levees are raised without taking out of service the settling tank in successive layers a few tens of centimeters thick. In this case the layers are formed using a "mold" sliding on the dike.
La présente invention concerne un appareil pour la surélévation en continu d'une épaisseur h d'une digue de largeur d d'un bassin de décantation caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte deux cadres rectangulaires ayant, une largeur supérieure à d juxtaposés alignés de façon à ce que les parois latérales des cadres avant et arrière soient dans le prolongement l'une de l'autre, un tablier relevé vers le haut formant la paroi avant du cadre avant, que le cadre avant est constitué à sa partie arrière par une barre ménageant une ouverture rectangulaire de hauteur h et il est divisé en 2 par une barre parallèle aux parois latérales du cadre avant, la distance entre cette barre et la paroi latérale du cadre avant située du côté extérieur du bassin de décantation est égale à d, le cadre arrière est également constitué à sa partie arrière par une barre ménageant une ouverture de même hauteur que la barre arrière du cadre avant et qu'il comporte deux skis, l'un étant monté sur une des parois latérales alignées des cadres avant et arrière et l'autre sur la barre divisant en deux le cadre avant.The present invention relates to an apparatus for continuously raising a thickness h of a dyke of width d of a settling tank, characterized in that it comprises two rectangular frames having, a width greater than d juxtaposed aligned with so that the side walls of the front and rear frames are in line with one another, an apron raised upwards forming the front wall of the front frame, that the front frame is formed at its rear part by a bar providing a rectangular opening of height h and it is divided in 2 by a bar parallel to the side walls of the front frame, the distance between this bar and the side wall of the front frame located on the outside of the settling tank is equal to d, the rear frame is also formed at its rear by a bar providing an opening of the same height than the rear bar of the front frame and that it comprises two skis, one being mounted on one of the aligned side walls of the front and rear frames and the other on the bar dividing the front frame in half.
La description donnée ci-dessous d'un appareil selon l'invention permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention.
- La figure 1 est une vue en perspective cavalière d'un appareil selon l'invention.
- La figure 2 est une vue en plan.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a plan view.
L'appareil selon l'invention se compose de deux cadres rectangulaires (1) et (2) juxtaposés et alignés dont la largeur est supérieure à celle de la surface supérieure de la digue. La paroi avant (3) du cadre (1) est constituée à sa partie inférieure par une tôle verticale (3a) et elle est de préférence constituée à sa partie supérieure par une tôle (3b) inclinée vers l'extérieur. De préférence les parois latérales (4, 4ʹ) sont également constituées par des tôles verticales (4a, 4ʹa) surmontées par des tôles inclinées (4b et 4ʹb). Les rebords inférieurs des tôles (3a, 4a et 4ʹa) sont situées dans un même plan horizontal, de même que les rebords supérieurs des tôles inclinées (3b, 4b et 4ʹb). Les différentes tôles inclinées (3b, 4b et 4ʹb) forment un trémie. Les tôles verticales (4a et 4ʹa) peuvent être munies de fentes pour le passage de l'eau contenue dans la substance décantée. Le quatriéme côté du cadre (1) est constitué par une barre (5) qui est par exemp le constituée par un profilé. La partie supérieure de cette barre (5) est au même niveau que le rebord supérieur des tôles inclinées (3b, 4b, et 4ʹb) et le rebord inférieur au niveau de l'arête entre les tôles verticales (3a, 4a, 4ʹa) et les tôles inclinées (3b, 4b et 4ʹb). Ce rebord laisse donc un espace libre rectangulaire dont la hauteur h par rapport au plan horizontal des rebords inférieurs des tôles (3a, 4a et 4ʹa), correspond à l'épaisseur de la couche de matériau que l'on désire ajouter sur la digue. Le cadre avant (1) est divisé par la barre 6 parallèle aux parois (4) et (4ʹ). Cette barre (6) maintient le ski (10) du côté intérieur au bassin. De plus, elle a l'avantage de rendre le cadre avant (1) plus rigide. La distance d, entre la paroi (4ʹ) située du côté extérieur au bassin et la barre (6) est égale à la largeur de la digue. Lors du fonctionnement la partie du cadre avant (1) située entre la barre (6) et la paroi (4ʹ) située du côté intérieur au bassin est au dessus du vide. Le cadre arrière (2) est constitué à l'avant par la barre (5), par les parois latérales (7 et 7ʹ) situées dans le prolongement des parois latérales du cadre (1) et par une barre arrière (8) les parois latérales (7 et 7ʹ) sont inclinées selon la forme à donner aux flancs de la digue.The apparatus according to the invention consists of two rectangular frames (1) and (2) juxtaposed and aligned, the width of which is greater than that of the upper surface of the dam. The front wall (3) of the frame (1) is constituted at its lower part by a vertical sheet (3a) and it is preferably constituted at its upper part by a sheet (3b) inclined towards the outside. Preferably the side walls (4, 4ʹ) also consist of vertical sheets (4a, 4ʹa) surmounted by inclined sheets (4b and 4ʹb). The lower edges of the sheets (3a, 4a and 4ʹa) are located in the same horizontal plane, as are the upper edges of the inclined sheets (3b, 4b and 4ʹb). The different inclined sheets (3b, 4b and 4ʹb) form a hopper. The vertical sheets (4a and 4ʹa) can be provided with slots for the passage of the water contained in the decanted substance. The fourth side of the frame (1) is constituted by a bar (5) which is for example the constituted by a profile. The upper part of this bar (5) is at the same level as the upper edge of the inclined sheets (3b, 4b, and 4ʹb) and the lower edge at the edge between the vertical sheets (3a, 4a, 4ʹa) and the inclined sheets (3b, 4b and 4ʹb). This edge therefore leaves a rectangular free space whose height h relative to the horizontal plane of the lower edges of the sheets (3a, 4a and 4ʹa), corresponds to the thickness of the layer of material which it is desired to add to the dike. The front frame (1) is divided by the
Le rebord inférieur de la barre arrière (8) est au même niveau que le rebord inférieur de la barre (6). Les rebords inférieurs des parties verticales (4ʹa et 7) reposent sur un ski horizontal (10). Les parois (4 et 4ʹ, 7 et 7ʹ) sont de préférence triangulées par des plaques verticales (9) de façon à rendre le cadre plus rigide. A l'avant du cadre (1) se trouve un tablier avant (11) formant ski transversal. Des rasettes situées sous le tablier avant (11) griffent le sommet de la partie supérieure existante de la digue pour assurer l'ancrage de la couche de surélévation de la digue. Le tablier avant (11) est également de préférence triangulé par des plaques verticales (9ʹ) de façon à le rendre plus rigide.The lower edge of the rear bar (8) is at the same level as the lower edge of the bar (6). The lower edges of the vertical parts (4ʹa and 7) rest on a horizontal ski (10). The walls (4 and 4ʹ, 7 and 7ʹ) are preferably triangulated by vertical plates (9) so as to make the frame more rigid. At the front of the frame (1) is a front apron (11) forming a transverse ski. Skimmers located under the front apron (11) scratch the top of the existing upper part of the dike to anchor the layer of elevation of the dike. The front apron (11) is also preferably triangulated by vertical plates (9ʹ) so as to make it more rigid.
L'appareil de surélévation des digues est tracté à l'aide de câbles par une pelle à chenille ou une grue à chenille. La pelle ou la grue prélève le matériau dans le bassin de décantation, l'égoutte et l'introduit dans le cadre (1) de l'appareil. Le moule ayant une largeur supérieure à la largeur d de la digue une partie du matériau tombe du côté intérieur au bassin de façon à former un talus ayant l'angle de talus du matériau utilisé. Le côté extérieur du bassin est moulé à l'angle déterminé pour la paroi extérieure du bassin de décantation. L'appareil selon la présente invention permet donc de maintenir les angles des flancs de la digue et la largeur de la digue. Lorsque le moule est plein et le matériau suffisamment tassé on fait glisser l'appareil sur la surface de la digue à surélever sur une longueur égale à la longueur du cadre (1). La surélévation de la digue est donc assurée par couches successives sans mise hors service du bassin de décantation.The levee raising device is towed using cables by a crawler excavator or a crawler crane. The shovel or crane takes the material from the settling tank, drains it and introduces it into the frame (1) of the device. The mold having a width greater than the width d of the dam, part of the material falls from the interior side of the basin so as to form an embankment having the embankment angle of the material used. The outer side of the basin is molded at the angle determined for the outer wall of the settling basin. The apparatus according to the present invention therefore makes it possible to maintain the angles of the sides of the dam and the width of the dam. When the mold is full and the material sufficiently compacted, the device is slid over the surface of the dike to be raised over a length equal to the length of the frame (1). The heightening of the dike is therefore ensured by successive layers without taking the decantation basin out of service.
Il va de soi que la présente invention n' été décrite et représentée qu'à titre d'exemple préférentiel et qu'on peut y apporter des équivalences techniques dans des éléments constitutifs sans pour autant sortir de son cadre. It goes without saying that the present invention has only been described and shown as a preferred example and that technical equivalences can be made to it in constituent elements without going beyond its ambit.
