Ce brevet décrit un moteur, par exemple hydraulique, entraînant un arbre, vertical ou incliné, en deux pièces, pouvant coulisser l'une par rapport à l'autre. La partie inférieure de cet arbre entraîne par l'intermédiaire d'un renvoi une hélice. Celle-ci, grâce au coulissement de l'arbre d'entraînement, peut s'escamoter en remontant au-dessus du niveau de l'eau. Ce coulissement peut être provoqué par un vérin hydraulique commandé par la même huile sous pression que le moteur hydraulique.This patent describes a motor, for example hydraulic, driving a shaft, vertical or inclined, in two parts, which can slide relative to one another. The lower part of this shaft drives a propeller by means of a return. This, thanks to the sliding of the drive shaft, can be retracted by rising above the water level. This sliding can be caused by a hydraulic cylinder controlled by the same pressurized oil as the hydraulic motor.
L'hélice peut être orientable pour la manoeuvre du bateau.The propeller can be steerable for maneuvering the boat.
En position haute, rétractée dans un puits prévu à cet effet, la partie relevable peut venir obturer ce puits de façon à rendre à la coque du bateau toutes ses performances hydrodynamiques.In the high position, retracted into a well provided for this purpose, the lifting part can close off this well so as to restore to the hull of the boat all its hydrodynamic performance.
Ces différents brevets décrivent des propulseurs "tunnel" ou "rétractable" spécifiques à l'étrave ou à d'autres parties d'un navire.These various patents describe "tunnel" or "retractable" thrusters specific to the bow or to other parts of a ship.
Les propulseurs "tunnel" sont fixes dans les oeuvres vives des navires, ce qui a généralement pour inconvénient de laisser des ouvertures, créant des turbulences néfastes aux performances d'hydrodynamiques. D'autres facteurs condamnent les propulseurs "tunnel". L'évolution rapide des carènes modernes améliorant l'hydrodynamique, tend à réduire le tirant d'eau aux étraves et aux poupes, diminuant ainsi les possibilités d'installation de ces types de matériels.The "tunnel" thrusters are fixed in the live works of ships, which generally has the drawback of leaving openings, creating turbulence detrimental to hydrodynamic performance. Other factors condemn the "tunnel" thrusters. The rapid evolution of modern hulls improving hydrodynamics, tends to reduce the draft to the bows and the dolls, thus reducing the possibilities of installation of these types of equipment.
Les propulseurs "rétractables" comportent en général un dispositif télescopique engendrant un mouvement de montée ou de descente, assurant la sortie de l'hélice du propulseur, de la coque. Ces propulseurs présentent des inconvénients majeurs.The "retractable" thrusters generally comprise a telescopic device generating an upward or downward movement, ensuring the output of the propeller of the propellant, of the hull. These propellants have major drawbacks.
Le développement rectiligne télescopique d'une colonne, implique par sa technique un encombrement et un poids importants dans les volumes d'un bateau. Les mouvements de pièces mécaniques télescopiques posent d'importants problèmes au contact de l'eau en particulier de l'eau de mer, des sécrétions et des coquillages, avec comme résultat des problèmes de coincement. Une vitesse trop élevée ou un choc sur le propulseur descendu, le détériore, empêchant la remontée du système, interdisant généralement la navigation sans une intervention technique. Ainsi que suite à une non utilisation prolongée, ces propulseurs ont une aptitude au grippage et ne peuvent plus être opérationnels.The telescopic rectilinear development of a column implies by its technique a considerable size and weight in the volumes of a boat. The movement of telescopic mechanical parts poses significant problems in contact with water, in particular sea water, secretions and shells, resulting in jamming problems. Too high a speed or a shock on the propellant down, deteriorates it, preventing the ascent of the system, generally prohibiting navigation without technical intervention. As well as following prolonged non-use, these thrusters have an ability to seize and can no longer be operational.
Ces propulseurs ont comme fonction d'avoir une poussée dans un sens ou l'autre, latérale ou longitudinale, mais la majorité des propulseurs "tunnel" ou "rétractable" n'ont pas une poussée égale dans les deux sens, par le fait que le flux d'une hélice, même symétrique, se heurte dans un sens à son embase de transmission.
- US-A-3.241.511 : ce brevet décrit dans les figures 10 et 10A un moteur auxiliaire pour des ailes ou patins portants tels qu'utilisés sur des navires hydroptères. Une manivelle actionne par une triangulation la sortie d'un tube qui contient l'arbre moteur et auquel sont fixées à l'extrémité, une hélice et l'extrémité d'un patin portant articulé. L'ensemble occupe un volume considérable.
- US-A-3,241,511: this patent describes in FIGS. 10 and 10A an auxiliary motor for wings or bearing skids as used on hydrofoil ships. A crank operates by triangulation the output of a tube which contains the motor shaft and to which are fixed at the end, a propeller and the end of an articulated bearing pad. The whole occupies a considerable volume.
Or, l'invention tend à réduire au maximum l'encombrement du propulseur.However, the invention aims to minimize the size of the propellant.
Dans les figures 18, 24, le brevet décrit des mécanismes de manoeuvre de patins portants disposés sur des bras latéraux issus du pont.In FIGS. 18, 24, the patent describes mechanisms for maneuvering bearing skids arranged on lateral arms coming from the bridge.
L'invention tend à résoudre tous ces problèmes.The invention tends to solve all these problems.
L'invention s'applique notamment à tous navires et autres engins flottants ou submersibles.The invention applies in particular to all ships and other floating or submersible devices.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif escamotable ou rétractable de propulsion transversale ou longitudinale, applicable aux engins flottants ou submersibles, selon la revendication indépendante.The present invention relates to a retractable or retractable device for transverse or longitudinal propulsion, applicable to floating or submersible vehicles, according to the independent claim.
Les dispositifs latéraux de propulsion bi-directionnelle, combinés aux marches avant et arrière classiques, rendent possible les déplacements omnidirectionnels d'un engin ; positionnement précis lors des manoeuvres, corrections des déports dus aux vents et courants ou erre résiduelle. Implantés dans les oeuvres vives d'un navire, ces dispositifs sont appelés propulseurs rétractables ou escamotables.Lateral bi-directional propulsion devices, combined with conventional forward and reverse steps, make omnidirectional movement of a machine possible; precise positioning during maneuvers, correction of offset due to winds and currents or residual wandering. Implanted in the live works of a ship, these devices are called retractable or retractable thrusters.
Ce propulseur selon l'invention est rétractable ou escamotable, utilisant un dispositif trapézoïdal à rotation déformante engendrant un mouvement rectiligne de sortie ou de rentrée à l'intérieur d'un puits.This propellant according to the invention is retractable or retractable, using a trapezoidal device with deforming rotation generating a rectilinear movement of exit or reentry inside a well.
L'encombrement total nécessaire à ce propulseur, notamment en hauteur, peut être inférieur de trois à quatre fois par rapport à un propulseur "rétractable" classique.The total size required for this propellant, especially in height, can be three to four times lower than with a conventional "retractable" propellant.
L'encombrement total nécessaire à ce propulseur peut être égal ou inférieur par rapport à un propulseur "tunnel".The total size required for this propellant may be equal to or less than that of a "tunnel" propellant.
Ce propulseur selon l'invention est pourvu de deux hélices ; la première hélice est tractrice, suralimentant la seconde hélice qui est propulsive, et vice-versa par inversion de la rotation, rendant l'ensemble très efficace avec une poussée symétrique dans les deux sens.This propellant according to the invention is provided with two propellers; the first propeller is traction, supercharging the second propeller which is propulsive, and vice versa by inversion of rotation, making the whole very effective with a symmetrical thrust in both directions.
L'ensemble de ce propulseur selon l'invention, de par sa conception, conserve, sorti, une grande rigidité.All of this propellant according to the invention, by its design, retains, released, great rigidity.
De par sa conception et sa technique de développement, ce propulseur n'est pas sujet au grippage.By design and development technique, this propellant is not subject to seizure.
De par sa conception et sa technique de développement, en cas de choc ou de vitesse trop élevée, ce propulseur s'escamote de lui-même à l'intérieur de l'engin.By design and development technique, in the event of an impact or too high a speed, this thruster retracts by itself inside the machine.
Les particularités du présent propulseur sont, de par sa conception compacte et sa technique de développement, de favoriser son implantation dans les intérieurs, d'être léger et indéformable. Son ensemble hélicoïdal symétrique de propulsion lui assure un rendement élevé égal dans les deux sens. Hors service et par sécurité, ce dispositif est rétracté ou escamoté, verrouillé, à l'intérieur d'un puits obturé automatiquement oar une trappe dont la forme extérieure reproduit celle de la carène, respectant parfaitement les lois de l'hydrodynamique, par la supression totale de toutes sources de turbulences parasites.The particularities of this propellant are, by its compact design and its development technique, to favor its implantation in interiors, to be light and undeformable. Its symmetrical helical propulsion assembly ensures it a high efficiency equal in both directions. Out of service and for safety, this device is retracted or retracted, locked, inside a well closed automatically by a hatch whose external shape reproduces that of the hull, perfectly respecting the laws of hydrodynamics, by removing total of all sources of parasitic turbulence.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est composé d'un caisson, fixé de façon étanche sur un puits faisant partie intégrante de la structure de l'engin. A l'intérieur de ce caisson sont repliés deux bras pivotants assymétriquement, une embase motorisée et un ensemble hélicoïdal. Les deux bras, d'une part, sont axés sur le caisson, et, d'autre part sur l'embase de propulsion. Sous une action mécanique ou manuelle sur le levier solidaire du bras principal par son axe, ledit bras en rotation composé avec le bras de triangulation entraîne un mouvement rectiligne. La déformation ainsi ordonnée du trapèze engendre une cinématique de sortie ou de rentrée de l'embase par le centre de l'ensemble hélicoïdal.The device according to the invention is composed of a box, tightly fixed on a well forming an integral part of the structure of the machine. Inside this box are folded two asymmetrically pivoting arms, a motorized base and a helical assembly. The two arms, on the one hand, are focused on the box, and on the other hand on the propulsion base. Under a mechanical or manual action on the lever secured to the main arm by its axis, said rotating arm composed with the triangulation arm causes a rectilinear movement. The deformation thus ordered of the trapezium generates a kinematics of exit or re-entry of the base by the center of the helical assembly.
Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le mouvement de sortie ou de rentrée est rectiligne par le centre de l'ensemble hélicoïdal.According to a preferred embodiment, the exit or return movement is rectilinear through the center of the helical assembly.
L'embase de propulsion est pourvue de deux hélices, la première hélice est tractrice, suralimentant la seconde hélice qui est propulsive, et vice-versa par inversion de la rotation, rendant l'ensemble très efficace avec une poussée symétrique dans les deux sens.The propulsion base is provided with two propellers, the first propeller is traction, supercharging the second propeller which is propulsive, and vice versa by reversing the rotation, making the whole very effective with a symmetrical thrust in both directions.
L'embase est composée de :
- un étrier
- une tuyère faisant protection avec support de trappe
- un ensemble hélicoïdal, l'ensemble hélicoïdal est composé de :
- un boîtier mécanique à bain d'huile, avec arbre de transmission
- un couple cônique, et arbre pour une ou deux hélices
- un moteur étanche, hydraulique, électrique ou à air comprimé.
- a stirrup
- a protective nozzle with trap door support
- a helical assembly, the helical assembly is composed of:
- a mechanical housing in oil bath, with drive shaft
- a conical couple, and shaft for one or two propellers
- a waterproof, hydraulic, electric or compressed air motor.
L'opération de sortie et de rentrée est commandée de l'extérieur du caisson, par système hydraulique, électrique, à air comprimé ou manuel.The exit and re-entry operation is controlled from outside the box, by hydraulic, electric, compressed air or manual system.
Un verrouillage ou déverrouillage automatique en position rentrée interdit la mise en oeuvre sans l'ordre à distance de l'utilisateur. Ce verrou est aussi manuel pour contrôle technique ou suite à une anomalie. L'exploitation dudit verrou est en combinaison avec le levier et avec la chape à coulisse.An automatic locking or unlocking in the retracted position prohibits operation without the user's remote command.

- Unlocking and commissioning process:
Under the mechanical or manual action X, theyoke 13 slides causing, by thestop 22, a push on thekeeper 20, the latter centered at 21, releasing theseat 26, thus initiating the exit. - Exit :
The continuity of the action X, on theyoke 13 prints, by theaxis 24, a traction on thecam lever 12, saidlever 12 secured by theshaft 6 of thecontrol arm 4, the latter, in compound rotation with thetriangulation arm 5, generates the outlet of the base 10 as well as the simultaneous opening of thehatch 14, then at the end of the race, the abutment of theseat 26 at 25. - The propulsion:
Propulsion is caused by the ordered left or right rotation of thehelical assembly 15. - Back to school:
Under the mechanical or manual action Y, theyoke 13 slides, causing thelever 24 to push thelever 12, the saidlever 12 being secured by theshaft 6 of thecontrol arm 4, the latter, in rotation composed with thetriangulation arm 5, generates the retraction of thebase 10, the simultaneous closing of thehatch 14 as well as the initiation of the locking. - Lockout process:
The continuity of Y on theyoke 13, imparting by the axis 24 a thrust on thecam lever 12, saidlever 12 will be, at the end of rotation and at the end of travel stalled at 26 by thekeeper 20, saidkeeper 20 focused in 21 being recalled by itself by itsspring 23.
