Definitions

  • the present invention relates in particular to the field of arrangements on board ships for loading and unloading cargo, and more particularly relates to a container ship of the type comprising a hull, propulsion means and mobile handling means. along guide means arranged on support means.
  • a handling means to move the containers to a bridge, with which is associated a ramp and from which a port means of transport, such as a truck or a cart unloads one or more containers via the ramp.
  • patent US4043285 which comprises a hull and a framework which is integral with it, this framework comprising vertical, longitudinal and transverse beams, the longitudinal beams comprising support rails. an overhead crane extending from the stern of the hull.
  • This projection intended to be positioned overhanging the quay of a port, makes it possible to deposit, using the bridge, the containers directly on the quay.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a container ship making it possible to unload containers near the places of their use and therefore not only in ports not equipped with gear. port handling but also on beaches, undeveloped banks or holds, the unloading of these containers and in particular their deposit on land having practically no influence on the balance of the ship and whatever its size.
  • the solution to this problem is a container ship of the type comprising a hull, propulsion means and mobile handling means along guide means arranged on support means and characterized in that these guide means are extensible to beyond the hull of the ship.
  • the support means comprise at least one beam fixed to the shell, supporting a first part of the guide means of the handling means, and comprising a longitudinal cavity inside which is disposed a second, mobile beam supporting a second part of the guide means, this second part constituting an extension of the first part when the mobile beam is deployed beyond the hull of the ship
  • the support means comprise at least two beams fixed to the shell and inside which are disposed a mobile beam, at least one transverse beam or a plate connecting the at least two mobile beams.
  • FIG. 1 presents a general diagram of a container ship according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a diagram of a sectional view of the means for guiding and supporting the handling means
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b show diagrams of a top view of the means for guiding and supporting the handling means according to two different variants
  • FIG. 4 shows another alternative embodiment of the guide and support means
  • Figure 1 shows a ship according to the invention. It comprises a hull 1, means, not shown, for propelling and supplying electrical energy, means 2 for handling containers 3 and means for balancing the ship, not shown and which may be of the mass transfer type. .
  • the hull has the shape of a V at the front and a W, i.e. a catamaran at the rear. This shape allows, for a given internal storage volume, and for a given stored mass, to present a lower draft than a monohull ship while increasing stability.
  • This small draft and this stability which can also be obtained with catamaran or landing type ships, are used, within the framework of the invention, to cross shallow passages and to improve the stability of the ship at sea. as well as during the handling of the containers during their loading or unloading.
  • the draft under load of these types of boat or, more exactly, of these hulls is less than 4 meters and, preferably, the ratio of their length to their width is between 3 and 5.
  • Means 2 for handling the containers are shown in FIG. 2.
  • These means comprise a U-shaped gantry 2, each of the ends of which comprises wheels 5 intended to roll on a raceway constituted by two beams 6 arranged longitudinally on the ship and integral with the shell, each of them comprising a rail 7 on its upper surface.
  • the presence of the wheels 5 allows a longitudinal displacement in translation of the gantry 2.
  • These longitudinal beams 6 are C-shaped and thus have a cavity 8.
  • Second longitudinal beams 9 connected by transverse beams 10 are arranged inside said cavities. These second longitudinal beams 9 are free in longitudinal translation inside these cavities 8. In order to facilitate their movement, each of them has a wheel 11 at one of its ends.
  • the gantry includes a winch, not shown, for handling the containers 3.
  • the gantry is moved electrically, electric motors being associated in known manner with the wheels 5, the electrical supply being that of the edge.
  • the transverse beams 10 are replaced by a plate 13 having a double function: that of protecting the containers when the second beams 9 are inside the cavities 8 and that of an access ramp for pedestrians when they are deployed outside.
  • rigid and removable means 17 are provided for connecting the gantry and the assembly constituted by the beams 9 and the transverse beams 10 or the plate 13.
  • This rigid connection makes it possible to ensure the deployment of the assembly using the gantry, the assembly then not requiring its own motor means.
  • they may include means for blocking this assembly in translation, for example by davetting, this blocking also making it possible to be able to orient the beams 9 vertically.
  • these means 17 can be telescopic and consist for example of a cylinder.
  • the beams 9 are not straight. They comprise a hinge 14 near its end opposite the wheel 10.
  • the mobile beams 9 can be foldable and consist of several parts 9-
  • This figure shows four different positions, respectively A, B, C, D, of the mobile beams including two folded positions A and C at each end of the storage area and two deployed positions B and D, the first being able to serve as a cover for protection against attack by the marine environment in the case of the use of plates 13 and the other of guide means.
  • the invention makes it possible to extend the guide means by a length of two
  • extension length of the guide means is adjustable, thus making it possible to adapt it as best as possible to the environment.
  • the handling means can be constituted by any means the displacement of which requires the presence of guide means and comprise an autonomous source of energy facilitating handling on land.
  • the cover of the containers could consist of foldable plates independent of the beams 9 and 10.
