- the installation according to the invention may also include a third trolley assigned to the sole release afloat and able to apprehend, immobilize and take into account loads the outgoing boat at the transfer station and transports it to a afloat, by suitable rolling and guiding means descending for this purpose up to the water level and conform to the characteristics of the lifting carriage.
- a third trolley assigned to the sole release afloat and able to apprehend, immobilize and take into account loads the outgoing boat at the transfer station and transports it to a afloat, by suitable rolling and guiding means descending for this purpose up to the water level and conform to the characteristics of the lifting carriage.
- a landing pontoon 2 and a loading pontoon 3 are arranged, being held at the bank, on either side of the vertical lifting ramp formed by section 4 (fig 2) of the rail described below; this section of rail 4 is immersed at its base to allow a lifting carriage 6 circulating on this section 4 to descend, to be submerged below the lowest point of the water, for taking charge of the boat, or its afloat.
- a microcomputer 1 controls the operation of the lifting carriage 6 which is positioned downward along the section or ramp 4 under the surface of the water. The user advances his boat over this carriage 6.
- This lifting carriage includes means for correct positioning of the boat depending on its dimensional characteristics, and the support means or support for immobilizing the boat in a stable position on the trolley.
- the carriage comprises according to a first variant shown in Figures 3 and 4, a inverted U frame 10, carrying pendulum arms 10a, 10b, articulated at the corners top of said frame and maneuvered by mechanical means; initially time, an arm 10a tends to push the boat floating above the carriage, towards the edge of the trolley on the bank side, where code readers can be placed identification specific to the boat and worn by it; a second arm opposite 10b can then be programmed, depending on the characteristics of the boat entered from the said code reader, to bring this boat into position median in the center of the carriage, suitably resting on the support means; these the latter can be made up of side rails 13 suitable for receiving the base of the hull near the keel, and / or skids 8, as well as axis rollers vertical 7 carried by said frame 10
- the carriage may also include level contacts on the surface of the water 9, and feelers 11 for advancing the boat. These means are able to detect the advancement of the hull and its correct positioning.
- the means of correct positioning of the boat at the lifting station, above the waiting trolley are formed by two pairs of lateral posts respectively 110a and 110b towards the front and 111a and 111b towards the rear of the boat; these substantially vertical posts rest on the horizontal structure of the carriage being movable in a transverse direction while remaining in a substantially vertical position; these posts are associated by their base with means motors (not shown) such as hydraulic cylinders ensuring their displacement in transverse translation, the posts of the same couple remaining in a symmetrical position relative to the axis 114 corresponding to the ideal positioning axis of the boat in order to ensure its stable position on the supporting beams 113a and 113b. Furthermore the actuation of the jacks ensuring the operation of the posts is coupled from a torque to the other so that the spacing between the said posts is identical from a couple to the other (double axis of symmetry).
- a push post 115 completes the positioning system of the boat; this post 115 remaining substantially vertical is maneuvered by its base by a drive member such a hydraulic cylinder towards the bank (arrow F 1) as soon as the boat has been inserted in a suitable position above the trolley, i.e. between the posts 111a and 111b and the posts 110a and 110b; the push post comes to plate the boat against the poles 111b and 110b, the boat then being near the platform 116 secured to the carriage, thus able to receive the pilot.
- a drive member such a hydraulic cylinder
- locating and reading means such as a laser reader, arranged for example on the platform can capture the specific data for the boat, for the subsequent control of the maneuver carriage; similarly the pilot user can (fig 10A and 10B) on a digital code or other input means send identification data or instructions for the continuation of the maneuver.
- the actuators activating the positioning posts move these in the direction of the arrows F2 (fig 9C) automatically bringing the boat in its middle position above the carriage, the push post 115 is thus passively pushed back in the direction of the arrow of retraction F3.
- one of the side members, proximal to the bank, is provided for erasing. according to FIGS. 10A and 10B, to facilitate the transverse displacement of the keel of the boat; its recovery being assured when the boat arrived in middle end position, which can be detected by the movement of the actuators operation of the positioning posts.
- the trolley can then start its upward movement according to arrow F5 in Figure 10D, being for example driven by cable from an electric winch, possibly with return pulleys.
- This carriage 6 rises initially, parallel to the quay. He negotiates the change between the ramp or vertical section 4 and the horizontal section 12 without change the horizontality of the support structure of boat 13, thanks to the junction specific 14 of the rails and the arrangement of its wheels 15 illustrated by FIGS. 7A, 7B and 7C, as well as FIGS. 8A and 8B.
- each rail of the railway constituting the path of carriage 6 guide consists of two sections, a displacement section substantially horizontal 12 at the platform or the parking area, and a substantially vertical section 4 forming the lifting or lowering ramp of the carriage down to the level below the water.
- the horizontal section 12 ends at the base of the lifting or launching station by a bent part 14 oriented downwards and beyond which the rail extends by the vertical section 4 disposed laterally relative to the section 12; the contiguous ends of the two sections being integral but located in planes parallel vertical neighbors.
- the vertex 4a of this vertical section follows an curvature of equal radius of curvature to the radius of curvature of the external convex surface 12a of said upper elbow (FIG. 8A).
- the rails support three undercarriages, i.e. on each side a crew of three wheels or rollers coming from the carrying structure of the carriage, including a first bearing 15a positioned to come to bear on the upper face of the horizontal rail 12, a second bearing 15b capable of carrying on the underside of said rail 12 the axis of this second bearing being longitudinally offset from the vertical of the first bearing 15a in a direction opposite to the center of gravity of the carriage, the latter thus resting in its course on section 12 cantilevered on the two bearings 15a, 15b
- Each crew is carried by axes extending on each side from a block 16a carriage carrier and each crew has a third bearing 15c or roller lowering positioned under and directly above the upper bearing 15a and so that when this upper bearing approaches the entry of the convex curve 12a formed by the terminal bend of the first section 12, the said lower bearing 15c comes to bear on the entry of the curvature 4a formed by the top of the section 4, the carriage being subsequently supported cantilevered on the descent section 4 by the second and third bearings 15b, 15c, while remaining parallel to itself on the two routes ( Figures 7A, 7B and 7C).
- rollers or cylindrical bearings can be carried by a cheek or vertical side lateral coming from the structure of the carriage being oriented towards the center of the carriage, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, mounted on axes extending laterally towards the exterior from a block 6a secured to the structure of the carriage.
- the bandages of bearings 15a and 15c are laterally offset from each other to come wear on the load-bearing faces of sections 12 and 4 respectively, which are offset as previously explained; the tire of the rear bearing 15b is provided with a generator double that of others, to allow it to carry successively on the rear faces of sections 12 then 4.
- FIG. 7D An alternative embodiment, illustrated in FIG. 7D, allows positioning in a same vertical plane of the horizontal sections represented at 212 in this figure and vertical referenced 204; the faces of the elbows and the rollers receiving the same references as in the preceding FIGS. 7a-7C.
- the base of the bend in section 212 is interrupted at a distance from the bent apex 4a of section 204; this free space will allow the passage of the bearing 15c, coming to seek its support on the inlet of the elbow 4a. when the upper bearing 15a approaches the elbow 12a; and for this purpose this interruption between the neighboring ends of sections 212 and 204 are in line with the horizontal path of bearing 15c.
- the two sections 212 and 204 are joined together by a third section of lateral rail 214 forming a spacer or splint and disposed on a lateral blank common to the two rails.
- This section 214 serves as a bearing wall for the bearing 15 b, during the passage on the elbow, avoiding a tilting of the assembly overhanging and at this effect, as previously the generator of the bearing 15 b is at least double of that of bearings 15a and 15c, to allow successive pressing on the rear faces sections 212 and 214 during the transition then 204.
- FIG. 8A The geometry of the elbow terminating section 12 (or 212) is illustrated in Figure 8A, in which is shown in solid lines a crew formed by the three bearings previously described, in the position of the carriage approaching the transition elbow between the successive routes on sections 12 and 4. In dotted lines are represented these same bearing at the end of the transition and approaching their vertical course in section 4.
- the elbow 14 is provided according to the invention having a convex external curvature 12a and an internal concave curvature 12b as described below: to obtain the constant horizontality of the carriage, agrees that the latter remains constantly parallel to itself, which applies therefore first to each crew formed from the side bearings.
- the upper face of section 12 is given a curvature downward 12a of radius R1; this value can be arbitrary being reminded that this radius preferably, for a smooth transition, at least equal to the diameter of the bearings.
- these bearings formed of cylindrical rollers are of equal radii, for simplification of calculations and presentation.
- the crew of the three rollers is presented, as illustrated in FIG. 8B, with the axes of bearing arranged at the angles of an equilateral right triangle.
- the hypotenuse (center distance 15a-15c) is arranged vertically, the sides, i.e. the center distances 15a-15b and 15b-15c each form an angle of 45 ° with the vertical hypotenuse.
- the configuration given to the concave internal curvature 12b of the rail 12 also allows this autoparallelism of the center distance 15a-15b to be maintained.
- the condition is that the arc Ab, representing the path of the axis of the rolling of the roller 15b is parallel and therefore the same radius as the arc Aa.
- the value of the radius R3 of this arc Aa is equal to the radius R1 of the curve 12a, increased by the radius r of the roller 15a.
- the internal curvature 12b of the rail 12 must therefore have a radius R2 equal to R3 increased by r , since the axis of the bearing 15b moves at a distance r from its bearing surface (formed by the concave curve 12b). It follows that we will adopt for the value R2 of the radius of this concave curve 12B of the elbow a value equal to the radius R1 of the convex curve 12a, increased by 2 r . This in the case where the bearings 15a and 15b are of identical radius, as in the present example; otherwise the value of the radii of the said bearings will be added to the value R1.
- the support means of the boat within the carriage are carried by a plate pivotally mounted along a vertical axis 17 (fig 4) on the fixed structure of the trolley; thus in its approach movement towards the transfer point 16, and according to the layout of the chosen places, the boat can thus be pivoted along this axis17 in order to to present the rear of the boat to the second storage cart 18 or to a transfer or parking space
- the second carriage 18 is dedicated exclusively to parking storage.
- the storage cart 18 takes the boat placed on the lifting cart 6 by advancing its telescopically horizontal sliding arms 25 under the boat, and lifting it slightly to release it.
- This storage cart includes safety sensors and locating the positioning of the boat.
- the electric motors for moving this storage cart are controlled and controlled by the same computer (1) as the lifting cart.
- Said storage trolley mounts the boat to the desired level thanks to a cage 21 of the elevator type; the trolley assembly 18 and its upward cage can pivot 360 °, on the central axis 20 (fig 2), thus making it possible to place the boat, whatever the shape of the storage structure, facing a radial location 22.
- Horizontal sliding arms 25 associated with mechanical operating means are carried on this storage cart; these arms are able to move the boat to inside the storage structures 22. They descend slightly inside the the cage 21) thus depositing the boat on its support inside the space of storage, then retract to disengage and then the carriage 18 can start again wait at transfer point 16.
- Parking storage structures can be tiered on multiple levels straight (fig6) or circular in the shape of a maritime lighthouse (fig5), open or protected from the weather. If the structure is straight (fig6), the lift cage 21 is moves on longitudinal rails, lower 26 and upper 27.
- the yachtsman is identified by the reader code dedicated to the float 23, and the system performs the maneuver in order opposite to that described above by moving from the parking on the cart 18, then on the lift / float cart 16, which moves the boat up to the foot of section 4 where the boat emerges from the carriage by simple floatation; the microprocessor for programming the movement of the carriage 16, informed about the draft of the boat and the instantaneous level of the flow of water, is able to slow down the movement of the carriage from the start of immersion, then stop the movement after floating of the boat.
- the boater advance and leave the launch site as soon as possible so as not to annoy other users. It may eventually go to dock nearby for a few moments at an embarkation / disembarkation pontoon 24, located nearby.
- switches of the “punch” type allow at any time to stop the machine manually.
- Abnormal operation information is systematically transmitted to the managing microprocessor, and visually signaled or otherwise at a watch and surveillance post.
- a connected telephone set directly to the management center makes it possible to respond to the possible problem of boater.
- a another line of rails can be installed to connect transfer point 16 and the pontoon afloat 3.
- the rails connecting the transfer station 16 to the lifting / floating stations can be arranged in an inclined plane, for example close to 45 °, instead of the rails successively vertical and horizontal 4 and 12.
- This machinery makes it possible to automatically rotate the boat in order to orient it 90 ° relative to the docking pontoon, and eliminates the danger of human intervention afloat for this delicate maneuver.
- This machinery is removable and movable. It does not create real estate. It is simply placed on the ground and on running rails, on the edge of an existing quay or on the bank of a navigable watercourse.
- the general shape of the various self-supporting metal structures can be straight or circular. The circular shape makes it possible to use the aspect of maritime lighthouse, and thus favors an almost natural integration in a navigable environment.
- the structure can be embellished by a decorative cover, flexible or rigid, which will also have a role of protection against bad weather and various aggressions.
- This machinery is controlled on site by microcomputer, but can be managed remotely, by telephone line. It increases the performance, quality and reliability of the service.
- the rails which bring the boat to the storage structures can be placed at several meters high; this makes it possible to overcome various obstacles and to maintain the parking enclosure is permanently closed to increase intrusion security.
- the boat can be rinsed by sprinklers placed on its passage.
- Automated machinery consists of several complementary elements.
- a microcomputer controls and organizes: the logic of all the maneuvers, the operation of the electric motors, the various positioning probes, the mechanical detection and safety systems. It identifies the user by a code, linked to the parking space, to be typed on a keyboard or written on a card using barcode, magnetic stripe, computer chip, or other technology. This code is assigned, validated or invalidated by another computer management system, which can be external, linked by telephone line, which can group several other PLCs remotely. Cameras can be connected to this system for monitoring.

Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne le domaine du stationnement des bateaux de plaisance à moteur et notamment un équipement portuaire pour le halage au sec d'embarcations et leur mise à l'eau, les embarcations étant amenées entre les deux opérations à des postes de stationnementThe invention relates to the field of parking of motorized pleasure boats and in particular port equipment for the dry hauling of boats and their setting in water, the boats being brought between the two operations to parking
La fabrication de bateaux de plaisance est permanente et les anciens bateaux ont une durée de vie de plusieurs dizaines d'années. Ceci aboutit à un besoin permanent de nouvelles places de stationnement, or l'augmentation des places de « ports à flot » traditionnels est quasi impossible ne serait-ce que pour des raisons de limitations physiques. Une autre possibilité consiste à stationner les bateaux hors de l'eau, dans des « ports à sec », sur des supports simples ou étagés jusqu'à 4 niveaux. Dans ce cas le bateau doit être soulevé par un chariot élévateur à fourches et non pas à la grue.The manufacture of pleasure boats is permanent and the old boats have a lifespan of several decades. This results in a permanent need for new parking spaces, or the increase in “afloat harbors” spaces traditional is almost impossible if only for reasons of limitations physical. Another possibility is to park the boats out of the water, in "Dry ports", on simple or stepped supports up to 4 levels. In this case the boat should be lifted by forklift and not by crane.
A la demande du plaisancier, un employé saisit le bateau, généralement dans le sens de la longueur par l'arrière, perpendiculairement au quai d'accostage. Il utilise un engin automoteur diesel d'une capacité d'au moins une dizaine de tonnes, spécialement équipé. Il effectue ainsi la mise à flot ou la mise à terre.At the boater's request, an employee seizes the boat, generally in the direction of the length from the rear, perpendicular to the dock. He uses a machine self-propelled diesel with a capacity of at least ten tonnes, specially team. It thus carries out the afloat or the grounding.
Toutefois les « port à sec » rencontrent plusieurs problèmes ; en effet le plaisancier désire utiliser son bateau, à toutes heures du jour ou de la nuit, comme s'il était à flot, et sans attendre. Les contraintes d'horaire d'ouverture du port à sec empêchent le propriétaire de disposer de son bateau à sa guise. L'attente pour obtenir son bateau à flot est souvent trop longue, surtout si plusieurs personnes arrivent en même temps. Les nuisances sonores et odorantes, dues aux engins diesel sont pénibles pour tous, et difficilement acceptées par le voisinage.However, "dry port" encounters several problems; indeed the boater wishes to use his boat, at all hours of the day or night, as if it were afloat, and without waiting. The constraints of the dry port opening hours prevent the owner to dispose of his boat as he pleases. Waiting to get a boat afloat is often too long, especially if several people arrive at the same time. Noise and odor nuisance due to diesel engines is painful for everyone, and hardly accepted by the neighborhood.
Les risques physiques ou matériels dus à l'erreur humaine sont permanents, vus l'importance du gabarit de l'ensemble engin/ bateau, la fragilité et le prix de la charge. La grandeur des voies de circulations indispensables aux gros engins, et la limitation d'élévation de stockage dû à la difficulté de visée et au manque de visibilité, impose une occupation du sol très importante. The physical or material risks due to human error are permanent, seen the size of the machine / boat, the fragility and the price of the load. The size of the traffic lanes essential for large vehicles, and the limitation storage elevation due to the difficulty of sighting and the lack of visibility, requires a very high land use.
Dans l'opération de retour au stationnement, normalement le bateau accoste parallèlement au ponton. Il doit être positionné ensuite perpendiculairement à celui-ci afin de pouvoir être saisi par l'arrière avec l'engin. La manoeuvre pour le faire pivoter de 90° est délicate et dangereuse. Enfin les difficultés de préhension à flot dues aux différences de hauteur des marées, sont difficilement maítrisables.In the return to parking operation, the boat normally docked parallel to the pontoon. It must then be positioned perpendicular to it in order to be able to be grabbed from behind with the machine. The maneuver to rotate it 90 ° is delicate and dangerous. Finally the difficulties of gripping afloat due to differences in height of the tides are difficult to control.
La présente invention vise apporter une solution aux problèmes ci-dessus et prévoit une machinerie automatisée, ayant pour fonctions principales de :
- prendre un bateau de plaisance à moteur à flot quel que soit le niveau de l'eau,
- le lever, le déplacer, le faire pivoter, et éventuellement le rincer,
- le ranger à sa place sur des structures de stationnement terrestres étagées sur plusieurs niveaux,
- pouvoir le remettre à flot immédiatement à partir de cette place.
- take a pleasure boat afloat regardless of the water level,
- lift it, move it, rotate it, and possibly rinse it,
- put it in its place on terrestrial parking structures stepped on several levels,
- be able to float it immediately from there.
Toutes ces opérations s'effectuent rapidement et en sécurité, sans aucun personnel, plusieurs fois par jour ou par nuit. Elle sont commandées par l'utilisateur à l'aide d'un code.All these operations are carried out quickly and safely, without any personnel, several times a day or night. They are controlled by the user using a coded.
L'invention permet donc d'utiliser un bateau avec autant de plaisir que s'il était à flot dans un port traditionnel, sans les contraintes d'horaire ou d'attente des « ports à sec », mais de profiter des avantages de ces derniers, comme de ne pas appliquer chaque année des peintures spécifiques anti-fouling contre les algues et les coquillages. Ceci contribue à limiter la pollution du milieu aquatique, et élimine les risques d'osmose des coques polyester, et de corrosion ou d'électrolyse des moteurs. Le propriétaire réalise des économies importantes, sur les produits d'entretien, sur les manutentions, et éventuellement sur le stationnement à terre pendant ses périodes d'hivernages.The invention therefore makes it possible to use a boat with as much pleasure as if it were afloat in a traditional port, without the schedule or waiting constraints of "dry ports", but to take advantage of the benefits of these, such as not applying every year specific anti-fouling paints against algae and shells. This contributes limit pollution of the aquatic environment, and eliminate the risk of osmosis of hulls polyester, and corrosion or electrolysis of engines. The owner makes significant savings, on cleaning products, handling, and possibly on shore parking during its wintering periods.
De plus, l'invention apporte de nombreux autres avantages: L'utilisation exclusive de
moteurs électriques pour l'ensemble des manutentions élimine les nuisances sonores et
odorantes.
En supprimant l'intervention humaine dans les manutentions délicates, les risques
physiques et matériels disparaissent. In addition, the invention provides many other advantages: The exclusive use of electric motors for all handling eliminates noise and odor nuisances.
By eliminating human intervention in delicate handling, the physical and material risks disappear.
Pouvant négliger les problèmes de visée humaine à plusieurs mètres de hauteur, cette machinerie automatisée permet d'atteindre des grandes hauteurs de stationnement, et réduit considérablement l'occupation de la surface au sol, en rapport du nombre des places créées. L'absence de grands travaux d'aménagement et de terrassement pour la circulation des engins lourds, et l'utilisation de l'élévation maximale permettent de réduire leurs coûts d'installation. L'absence de personnel réduit les charges d'exploitation. Les moteurs électriques réduisent les frais d'entretien.Being able to neglect the problems of human aiming at several meters in height, this automated machinery makes it possible to reach great parking heights, and considerably reduces the occupation of the floor space, in relation to the number of places created. The absence of major development and earthworks for the circulation of heavy vehicles, and the use of the maximum elevation allow reduce their installation costs. Lack of staff reduces costs operating. Electric motors reduce maintenance costs.

Optionally, the installation according to the invention may also include a third trolley assigned to the sole release afloat and able to apprehend, immobilize and take into account loads the outgoing boat at the transfer station and transports it to a afloat, by suitable rolling and guiding means descending for this purpose up to the water level and conform to the characteristics of the lifting carriage.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront encore de la
description qui suit et qui est donnée en relation avec une forme de réalisation
préférentielle de l'invention donnée à titre d'exemple de réalisation sans caractère
limitatif et en se référant aux dessins annexés
Selon l'ensemble des figures, un ponton de débarquement 2 et un ponton
d'embarquement 3 sont disposés, étant maintenus à la berge, de part et d'autre de la
rampe de levage verticale formée par la section 4 (fig 2) du rail ci-après décrit ; cette
section de rail 4 est immergée à sa base pour permettre à un chariot de levage 6
circulant sur cette section 4 de descendre, pour être immergé en dessous du fil de plus
bas des eaux, pour la prise en charge de l'embarcation, ou sa mise à flot.
Pour mettre un bateau en stationnement, l'utilisateur accoste au ponton d'enlèvement 2,
et se fait identifier par un lecteur de code dédié à l'enlèvement 5.
En fonction des données saisies et enregistrées, un micro ordinateur 1 commande la
manoeuvre du chariot de levage 6 qui vient se positionner descendant le long de la
section ou rampe 4 sous la surface de l'eau. L'utilisateur avance son bateau au-dessus
de ce chariot 6.According to all of the figures, a
To park a boat, the user docked with the
As a function of the data entered and recorded, a
Ce chariot de levage comporte des moyens de positionnement correct de l'embarcation
en fonction de ses caractéristiques dimensionnelles, et des moyens de support ou
d'appui pour l'immobilisation de l'embarcation en position stable sur le chariot. A cet
effet le chariot comporte selon une première variante représentée aux figures 3 et 4,un
cadre en U inversé 10, porteur de bras pendulaires 10a, 10b, articulés aux angles au
sommet du dit cadre et manoeuvrés par des moyens mécaniques ; dans un premier
temps, un bras 10a tend à repousser l'embarcation flottant au-dessus du chariot, vers le
bord du chariot coté berge, où peuvent être disposés des lecteurs de code
d'identification spécifiques à l'embarcation et portés par cette dernière ; un second bras
opposé 10b peut alors être programmé, en fonction des caractéristiques de l'embarcation
saisies depuis le dit lecteur de code, pour ramener cette embarcation en position
médiane au centre du chariot, reposant convenablement sur les moyens de support ; ces
derniers peuvent être constitués de longerons latéraux 13 propres à recevoir la base de
la coque à proximité de la quille, et/ou de patins 8, ainsi que de rouleaux d'axes
verticaux 7 portés par le dit cadre 10This lifting carriage includes means for correct positioning of the boat
depending on its dimensional characteristics, and the support means or
support for immobilizing the boat in a stable position on the trolley. In this
indeed the carriage comprises according to a first variant shown in Figures 3 and 4, a
Le chariot pourra comporter également des contacts de niveau de la surface de l'eau 9,
et des palpeurs 11 d'avancement de l'embarcation. Ces moyens sont aptes à détecter
l'avancement de la carène et son positionnement correct.The carriage may also include level contacts on the surface of the
Une autre forme de réalisation constituant une variante est présentée ci-après étant
illustrée aux figures 9A à 9C et 10A à 10 D. Selon cette forme plus avantageuse de
réalisation, les moyens de positionnement correct de l'embarcation au poste de levage,
au dessus du chariot en attente sont formés de deux couples de poteaux latéraux
respectivement 110a et 110b vers l'avant et 111a et 111b vers l'arrière de
l'embarcation ; ces poteaux sensiblement verticaux reposent sur la structure horizontale
du chariot étant mobiles dans une direction transversale tout en restant dans une
position sensiblement verticale ; ces poteaux sont associés par leur base à des moyens
moteurs (non représentés) tels que vérins hydrauliques assurant leur déplacement en
translation transversale, les poteaux d'un même couple restant en position symétrique
par rapport à l'axe 114 correspondant à l'axe de positionnement idéal de l'embarcation
en vue d'assurer sa position stable sur les longerons porteurs 113a et 113b. De plus la
commande des vérins assurant la manoeuvre des poteaux est jumelée d'un couple à
l'autre de sorte que l'écartement entre les dits poteaux est identique d'un couple à
l'autre (double axe de symétrie).Another embodiment constituting a variant is presented below being
illustrated in FIGS. 9A to 9C and 10A to 10 D. According to this more advantageous form of
realization, the means of correct positioning of the boat at the lifting station,
above the waiting trolley are formed by two pairs of lateral posts
respectively 110a and 110b towards the front and 111a and 111b towards the rear of
the boat; these substantially vertical posts rest on the horizontal structure
of the carriage being movable in a transverse direction while remaining in a
substantially vertical position; these posts are associated by their base with means
motors (not shown) such as hydraulic cylinders ensuring their displacement in
transverse translation, the posts of the same couple remaining in a symmetrical position
relative to the
En position d'attente inactive, comme représenté à la figure 9A les poteaux sont effacés latéralement avec écartement maximum, laissant libre accès à l'embarcation à parquer.In the inactive standby position, as shown in Figure 9A the posts are cleared laterally with maximum spacing, leaving free access to the boat to park.
Un poteau poussoir 115 complète le système de positionnement du bateau ; ce poteau
115 restant sensiblement vertical est manoeuvré par sa base par un organe moteur tel
qu'un vérin hydraulique en direction de la berge (flèche F 1) dés que l'embarcation
s'est insérée en position convenable au dessus du chariot, c'est à dire entre les poteaux
111a et 111b et les poteaux 110a et 110b ; le poteau poussoir vient plaquer
l'embarcation contre les poteaux 111b et 110b, l'embarcation étant alors à proximité de
la plate-forme 116 solidaire du chariot, ainsi apte à recevoir le pilote.A
A ce stade et l'embarcation étant ainsi positionnée des moyens de repérage et de lecture tel qu'un lecteur laser, disposés par exemple sur la plate forme peuvent saisir les données spécifiques à l'embarcation, en vue de la commande ultérieure de la manoeuvre du chariot ; de même l'utilisateur pilote peut (fig 10A et 10B) sur un digicode ou autre moyen de saisie adresser des données d'identification ou des instructions en vue de la suite de la manoeuvre.At this stage and the boat being thus positioned locating and reading means such as a laser reader, arranged for example on the platform can capture the specific data for the boat, for the subsequent control of the maneuver carriage; similarly the pilot user can (fig 10A and 10B) on a digital code or other input means send identification data or instructions for the continuation of the maneuver.
Dans un première phase ultérieure les vérins activant les poteaux de positionnement
déplacent ces derniers dans le sens des fléchés F2 (fig 9C) amenant automatiquement
l'embarcation dans sa position médiane au dessus du chariot, le poteau poussoir 115 est
ainsi repoussé passivement dans le sens de la fléche de rétractation F3. In a first subsequent phase, the actuators activating the positioning posts
move these in the direction of the arrows F2 (fig 9C) automatically bringing
the boat in its middle position above the carriage, the
Dans cette position médiane l'axe de l'embarcation se confond avec l'axe du chariot
115 ; ainsi la coque peut reposer en équilibre sur les longerons support 113a et 113b.
Avantageusement un des longerons, proximal par rapport à la berge est prévu effaçable
selon les figures 10A et 10B, pour faciliter le déplacement transversal de la quille de
l'embarcation ; son redressement étant assuré lorsque l'embarcation est arrivé en
position finale médiane, ce qui peut être détecté par le mouvement des vérins de
manoeuvre des poteau de positionnement.In this middle position the axis of the boat merges with the axis of the
Dans la position médiane de l'embarcation le chariot peut alors amorcer son mouvement ascensionnel selon la flèche F5 de la figure 10D, étant par exemple entraíné par câble depuis un treuil électrique, éventuellement avec poulies de renvoi.In the middle position of the boat, the trolley can then start its upward movement according to arrow F5 in Figure 10D, being for example driven by cable from an electric winch, possibly with return pulleys.
Ce chariot 6 monte dans un premier temps, parallèlement au quai. Il négocie le
changement entre la rampe ou section verticale 4 et la section horizontale 12 sans
changer l'horizontalité de la structure support du bateau 13, grâce à la jonction
spécifique 14 des rails et la disposition de ses roues 15 illustrées par les figures 7A, 7B
et 7C, ainsi que les figures 8A et 8B.This carriage 6 rises initially, parallel to the quay. He negotiates the
change between the ramp or
Sur ces figures on voit que chaque rail de la voie ferrée constituant le chemin de
guidage du chariot 6 se compose de deux sections, soit une section de déplacement
sensiblement horizontale 12 au niveau du quai ou de l'aire de stationnement, et une
section sensiblement verticale 4 formant la rampe de levage ou de descente du chariot
jusqu'au niveau inférieur au fil de l'eau.In these figures we see that each rail of the railway constituting the path of
carriage 6 guide consists of two sections, a displacement section
substantially horizontal 12 at the platform or the parking area, and a

La section horizontale 12 se termine à l'aplomb du poste de levage ou de mise à l'eau
par une partie coudée 14 orientée vers le bas et au delà de laquelle le rail se prolonge
par la section verticale 4 disposée latéralement par rapport à la section 12 ; les
extrémités jointives des deux sections étant solidaires mais situées dans des plans
verticaux parallèles voisins.The
Le sommet 4a de cette section verticale suit une incurvation de rayon de courbure égale
au rayon de courbure de la surface convexe externe 12a du dit coude supérieur (fig 8A). The
Les rails supportent trois trains de roulement, soit de chaque coté un équipage de trois
roues ou galets venue de la structure porteuse du chariot , dont un premier roulement
15a positionné pour venir porter sur la face supérieure du rail horizontal 12, un
deuxième roulement 15b apte à porter sur la face inférieur du dit rail 12 l'axe de ce
deuxième roulement étant décalé longitudinalement par rapport à la verticale du premier
roulement 15a dans une direction opposée au centre de gravité du chariot, ce dernier
reposant ainsi dans son parcours sur la section 12 en porte à faux sur les deux
roulements 15a, 15bThe rails support three undercarriages, i.e. on each side a crew of three
wheels or rollers coming from the carrying structure of the carriage, including a
Chaque équipage est porté par des axes débordant de chaque coté depuis un bloc 16a
porteur du chariot et chaque équipage comporte un troisième roulement 15c ou galet
de descente positionné sous et à l'aplomb du roulement supérieur 15a et de telle sorte
que lorsque ce roulement supérieur aborde l'entrée de l'incurvation convexe 12a
formée par le coude terminal de la première section 12, le dit roulement inférieur 15c
vient porter sur l'entrée de l'incurvation 4a formée par le sommet de la section 4, le
chariot étant par la suite supporté en porte à faux sur la section de descente 4 par les
deuxième et troisième roulements 15b, 15c, tout en restant parallèle à lui même sur les
deux parcours (Figures 7A, 7B et 7C).Each crew is carried by axes extending on each side from a block 16a
carriage carrier and each crew has a
Ces galets ou roulements cylindriques peuvent être portés par une joue ou flanc vertical
latéral venu de la structure du chariot en étant orientés vers le centre du chariot, soit,
comme représenté aux figures 3 et 4, montés sur des axes débordant latéralement vers
l'extérieur depuis un bloc 6a solidaire de la structure du chariot. Les bandages des
roulements 15a et 15c sont décalés latéralement l'un par rapport à l'autre pour venir
porter sur les faces porteuses des sections respectivement 12 et 4 elles-mêmes décalées
comme précédemment exposé ; le bandage du roulement arrière 15b est prévu avec une
génératrice double de celle des autres, pour lui permettre de porter successivement sur
les faces arrière des sections 12 puis 4.These rollers or cylindrical bearings can be carried by a cheek or vertical side
lateral coming from the structure of the carriage being oriented towards the center of the carriage,
as shown in Figures 3 and 4, mounted on axes extending laterally towards
the exterior from a block 6a secured to the structure of the carriage. The bandages of
Une variante de réalisation, illustrée par la figure 7D, permet le positionnement dans un
même plan vertical des sections horizontale représentée en 212 sur cette figure et
verticale référencée 204 ; les faces des coudes et les galets de roulement recevant les
mêmes références que sur les figures 7a-7C précédentes. On voit selon cette figure 7D
que dans le cadre de cette variante la base du coude de la section 212 est interrompue à
une distance du sommet coudé 4a de la section 204 ; cet espace libre permettra le
passage du roulement 15c, venant chercher son appui sur l'entrée du coude 4a. lorsque
le roulement supérieur 15a aborde le coude 12a ; et à cet effet cette interruption entre
les extrémités voisines des sections 212 et 204 se situe dans le prolongement du
parcours horizontal du roulement 15c.An alternative embodiment, illustrated in FIG. 7D, allows positioning in a
same vertical plane of the horizontal sections represented at 212 in this figure and
vertical referenced 204; the faces of the elbows and the rollers receiving the
same references as in the preceding FIGS. 7a-7C. We see according to this figure 7D
that in the context of this variant the base of the bend in
La solidarisation des deux sections 212 et 204 est assurée par une troisième section de
rail latéral 214 formant entretoise ou éclisse et disposé sur un flan latéral commun au
deux rails. Cette section 214 sert de paroi d'appui pour le roulement 15 b, lors du
passage sur le coude, évitant un basculement de l'ensemble en porte à faux et à cet
effet, comme précédemment la génératrice du roulement 15 b est au moins double de
celle des roulements 15a et 15c, pour permettre un appui successif sur les faces arrières
des sections 212 et 214 pendant la transition puis 204.The two
La géométrie du coude terminant la section 12 (ou 212) est illustrée à la figure 8A, dans
laquelle on a représenté en traits pleins un équipage formé par les trois roulements
précédemment décrits, dans la position du chariot abordant le coude de transition entre
les parcours successifs sur les sections 12 et 4. En pointillés sont représentés ces
mêmes roulement en fin de transition et abordant leur parcours vertical sur la section 4.The geometry of the elbow terminating section 12 (or 212) is illustrated in Figure 8A, in
which is shown in solid lines a crew formed by the three bearings
previously described, in the position of the carriage approaching the transition elbow between
the successive routes on
Le chariot porteur notamment de l'embarcation devant rester constamment horizontal
dans ces deux parcours, on a prévu selon l'invention une conformation du coude 14
comportant une incurvation externe convexe 12a et une incurvation concave interne
12b telle que décrite ci-après : pour obtenir l'horizontalité constante du chariot il
convient que ce dernier reste constamment parallèle à lui -même, ce qui s'applique
donc en premier à chaque équipage formé des roulements latéraux.The carrying trolley, in particular of the boat, must remain constantly horizontal
in these two routes, the
On a, dans l'exemple décrit, donné à la face supérieure de la section 12 une incurvation
vers le bas 12a de rayon R1 ; cette valeur peut être arbitraire étant rappelé que ce rayon
sera de préférence, pour une transition douce, égal au moins au diamètre des
roulements. Dans l'exemple décrit ces roulements, formés de galets cylindriques sont
de rayons égaux, pour la simplification des calculs et de l'exposé. In the example described, the upper face of
L'équipage des trois galets se présente, comme illustré à la figure 8B, avec les axes de
roulement disposés aux angles d'un triangle rectangle équilatéral. L'hypoténuse
(entraxe 15a-15c) est disposée verticalement, les cotés, soit les entraxes 15a-15b et
15b-15c forment chacun un angle de 45 ° avec l'hypoténuse verticale..The crew of the three rollers is presented, as illustrated in FIG. 8B, with the axes of
bearing arranged at the angles of an equilateral right triangle. The hypotenuse
(
Pour permettre aux roulements et au chariot de négocier le passage sur le coude 14
Il convient donc que le triangle (ci-dessus visé) formé par les trois axes de roulement
reste parallèle à lui-même tout au long du passage sur le coude, comme illustré à la
figure 8B.To allow the bearings and the carriage to negotiate the passage on the
A cet effet en premier lieu l'incurvation 4a au sommet de la section 4 a été prévue ,
comme précédemment exposé, de même rayon de courbure R1 que l'incurvation 12a ;
ainsi lors de leurs parcours jumelés les roulement 15a et 15c suivront des chemins tels
que leur entraxe restera de longueur fixe et parallèle à elle-même( figure 8A).For this purpose in the first place the
En second lieu et toujours en considérant la figure 8A, la configuration donnée à
l'incurvation interne concave 12b du rail 12 permet également le maintien de cet
autoparallélisme de l'entraxe 15a-15b. La condition en est que l'arc Ab, représentant le
parcours de l'axe du roulement du galet 15b soit parallèle et donc même rayon que l'arc
Aa . La valeur du rayon R3 de cet arc Aa est égale au rayon R1 de l'incurvation 12a,
augmenté du rayon r du galet 15a. Pour obtenir un arc Ab égal à l'arc Aa, il faut donc
que l'incurvation interne 12b du rail 12 soit de rayon R2 égal à R3 augmenté de r,
puisque l'axe du roulement 15 b se déplace à une distance r de sa surface d'appui
(formée par l'incurvation concave 12b). Il suit que l'on adoptera pour la valeur R2 du
rayon de cette incurvation concave 12B du coude une valeur égale au rayon R1 de
l'incurvation convexe 12a, augmenté de 2 r. Ceci dans le cas ou les roulements 15a et
15b sont de rayon identique, comme dans le présent exemple ; sinon on ajoutera à la
valeur R1 la somme des rayons des dits roulements.Secondly and still considering FIG. 8A, the configuration given to the concave
Au long du parcours horizontal, sur la section 12, le chariot porteur de l'embarcation
halée depuis le poste de levage, passe devant une rampe munie d'asperseurs 19
positionnés de part et d'autre des rails, pour rincer le bateau. Along the horizontal course, on

Le deuxième chariot 18 est dédié exclusivement au rangement en stationnement.
Au point de transfert 16 reliant les rails de roulement des deux chariots, le chariot de
rangement 18 prend le bateau posé sur le chariot de levage 6 en avançant ses bras
coulissants téléscopiquement horizontaux 25 sous le bateau, et en le soulevant
légèrement pour le dégager. Ce chariot de rangement comporte des palpeurs de sécurité
et de repérage du positionnement de l'embarcation. Les moteurs électriques de
déplacement de ce chariot de rangement sont asservis et commandés par le même
ordinateur (1) que le chariot de levage. Le dit chariot de rangement monte le bateau au
niveau désiré grâce à une cage 21 de type ascenseur ; l'ensemble chariot 18 et sa cage
ascensionnelle peut pivoter sur 360°, sur l'axe central 20 (fig 2) permettant ainsi de

Les différentes manutentions automatisées sont confiées à deux chariots complémentaires . Ce principe permet de réduire considérablement l'attente pour une mise à flot ou une mise en stationnement, par rapport au port à sec de l'art antérieur. The various automated handling operations are entrusted to two trolleys complementary. This principle significantly reduces the wait for a afloat or parking, compared to the dry port of the prior art.
Cette machinerie permet de faire pivoter automatiquement le bateau afin d'orienter
celui-ci à 90° par rapport au ponton d'accostage, et élimine le danger de l'intervention
humaine à flot pour cette manoeuvre délicate.
Cette machinerie est démontable et déplaçable. Elle ne crée pas d'immobilier. Elle est
simplement posée au sol et sur rails de roulement, en bordure d'un quai existant ou sur
la berge d'un cours d'eau navigable.
La forme générale des différentes structures métalliques autoporteuses peut être
rectiligne ou circulaire. La forme circulaire permet d'utiliser l'aspect de phare maritime,
et favorise ainsi une intégration quasi naturelle dans un environnement navigable.
La structure peut être enjolivée par une couverture décorative, souple ou rigide, qui aura
également un rôle de protection contre les intempéries et les agressions diverses.
Cette machinerie est contrôlée sur place par micro ordinateur, mais gérable
éventuellement à distance, par ligne téléphonique. Elle permet d'augmenter le
rendement, la qualité et la fiabilité du service.This machinery makes it possible to automatically rotate the boat in order to orient it 90 ° relative to the docking pontoon, and eliminates the danger of human intervention afloat for this delicate maneuver.
This machinery is removable and movable. It does not create real estate. It is simply placed on the ground and on running rails, on the edge of an existing quay or on the bank of a navigable watercourse.
The general shape of the various self-supporting metal structures can be straight or circular. The circular shape makes it possible to use the aspect of maritime lighthouse, and thus favors an almost natural integration in a navigable environment.
The structure can be embellished by a decorative cover, flexible or rigid, which will also have a role of protection against bad weather and various aggressions.
This machinery is controlled on site by microcomputer, but can be managed remotely, by telephone line. It increases the performance, quality and reliability of the service.
Les rails qui amènent le bateau sur les structures de rangements peuvent être placés à plusieurs mètres de haut ; ceci permet de franchir des obstacles divers et de maintenir l'enclos de stationnement fermé en permanence afin d'augmenter la sécurité intrusion. Pendant son déplacement le bateau peut être rincé par des aspersoirs placés sur son passage.The rails which bring the boat to the storage structures can be placed at several meters high; this makes it possible to overcome various obstacles and to maintain the parking enclosure is permanently closed to increase intrusion security. During its displacement the boat can be rinsed by sprinklers placed on its passage.
La machinerie automatisée se compose de plusieurs éléments complémentaires.
Un micro ordinateur contrôle et organise : la logique de l'ensemble des manoeuvres, le
fonctionnement des moteurs électriques, les différents palpeurs de positionnement, les
systèmes de détection mécanique et de sécurité. Il identifie l'utilisateur par un code, lié
à l'emplacement de stationnement, à taper sur un clavier ou inscrit sur une carte utilisant
la technologie du code barre, de la piste magnétique, de la puce informatique, ou autres.
Ce code est attribué, validé ou invalidé, par un autre système informatique de gestion,
qui peut être externe, relié par ligne téléphonique, pouvant regrouper à distance
plusieurs autres automates. Des caméras peuvent être reliées à ce système afin de
contrôle. Automated machinery consists of several complementary elements.
A microcomputer controls and organizes: the logic of all the maneuvers, the operation of the electric motors, the various positioning probes, the mechanical detection and safety systems. It identifies the user by a code, linked to the parking space, to be typed on a keyboard or written on a card using barcode, magnetic stripe, computer chip, or other technology. This code is assigned, validated or invalidated by another computer management system, which can be external, linked by telephone line, which can group several other PLCs remotely. Cameras can be connected to this system for monitoring.
La description qui précède n'a été donnée qu'à titre d'exemple non limitatif et l'on pourra à partir des données décrites réaliser diverses variantes et formes de réalisation sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The foregoing description has been given by way of non-limiting example only and may, from the data described, carry out various variants and embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
