Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rocking marine anchor and relates in particular to a marine anchor to protect the seabed.
  • a marine anchor can be considered as a hook that, dropped from a boat, clings to the seabed and keeps the boat motionless and therefore safe.
  • the anchor mainly includes a pointed portion able to sink into the ground or to cling to the relief of the bottom.
  • the anchor is released and the anchor line is unrolled until the anchor reaches the bottom.
  • the mooring line continues to unwind until the length of the mooring line reaches at least three times the water level.
  • the line is moored to the boat in order to be blocked, the traction in the line increases and the anchor, towed on the bottom burrows into the ground or clings to the relief and blocks itself.
  • the two phases of anchoring, the installation of the anchor and the raising of the anchor are not done without degradation of funds.
  • the anchors represent an important cause of the degradation of the marine environment.
  • buoy d'orin a complementary system called buoy d'orin.
  • This system consists of a cable attached by one of its ends to a ring located on the axis of the blades, one buoy being attached to the other end.
  • the anchor is then raised anchor by the orin so upside down from the classic ascent. But this system is painful to implement and often ineffective. Therefore, it is used in special cases, for example to signal the anchorage to potential future arrivals when it is very busy sites.
  • rock anchor type anchors that have a system for unlocking the blades during the ascent of the anchor.
  • the anchor line passes vertically, the movable loop on which is attached the chain is then positioned perpendicular to the penis, the blades are unlocked and so rotate freely around their axis.
  • the anchor then easily emerges from its anchor point and its ascent is thus without any difficulty and without degradation of the seabed.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a rocker anchor type anchoring device equipped with a reliable blade unlocking system allowing the protection of the seabed and whatever the wetting phase.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a marine anchor comprising a hollow shaft, a shaft / blade shaft rotating with respect to the hollow axis, a bolt axis capable of blocking the rotation of the shaft / blade shaft, a lever adapted to receiving a wetting line, the lever pivoting between a first position and a second position to move the lock shaft from its locking position to its unlocking position of the axis / blade crew.
  • the marine anchor comprises means for pivoting the lever from its first to its second position when the tensile force in the wetting line is below a certain value.
  • the anchor comprises a hollow shaft composed of two hollow tubes 10 and 12 called rods, a sleeve 11 extending the rod 12 and in which pivots the shaft / blade crew and a chain 18 attached to the end of the rod 10 by a lever assembly 34, a rod not visible in the figure and a movable loop 36.
  • the axis / blade crew comprises an axis 13, two main blades 14 and four secondary blades 15 and 17 between which two cubic blocks 16 are positioned.
  • the axis 13 pivots inside a sleeve 11 which is a perpendicular extension of the rod 12.
  • the chain 18 is extended by a wetting line such as a cable or a chain.
  • the rod 10 is fitted into the rod 12 over about ten centimeters and held in this position by means of at least one bolt 37 screwed into the wall of the rod 10 and passing through an oblong hole 35 of the penis 12.
  • the length of the oblong hole 35 allows the rotation of the rod 10 relative to the yard 12 by 10 °.
  • the marine anchor preferably includes another bolt located on the rod 10 and passing through another oblong hole of the rod 12, the bolt and the hole being located opposite the bolt 37 and the hole 35.
  • a spring 22 is fixed on one side to the end of the rod 10 on a stop 54 and the other to a movable part 24 called sleeve, sliding inside the rod 10.
  • the spring 22 is such that it pushes on the sleeve 24 so as to hold it by compression in a position as close as possible to the end of the rod 10 on the lever 34 side.
  • the sleeve 24 is connected by an axis 42 to a rod 32 itself. even connected to a lever 34 by an axis 44.
  • the axis 42 is movable in translation along two oblong holes 30 located in the wall of the rod 10 so that the lever 34 pivots on the axis 46 attached to the rod 10, between two positions, a first position in which it is aligned with the rod 10 and a second position in which it makes a maximum angle with the rod 10.
  • the lever 34 allows the attachment of the chain 18, directly or through the movable loop 36.
  • a lock pin 20 slides inside the tubes 10 and 12 and inside the hollow sleeve 24 and is guided inside the rod 12 in its longitudinal movement by a ring 52 on the inner wall of the rod 12
  • the lock pin 20 is connected on the one hand to the sleeve 24 by a sliding connection by means of axis 40, called pin in the following description, passing through the bolt axis at one of its ends and whose movement is limited by the oblong holes 28 made in the sleeve 24 and connected on the other hand to the end of a spring 26 placed inside the sleeve 24, the other end of the spring being fixed to the sleeve on a stop 56.
  • the one of the ends of the lock pin 20 is secured to both the pin 40 and the spring 26 while the other end of the lock pin 20 is engaged or not within the axis 13 carrying the blades.
  • the stiffness of the spring 22 is greater than the stiffness of the spring 26.
  • the spring 26 is such that at rest it holds the pin 40 at the end of the oblong holes 28 on the side of the axis 13 carrying the blades.
  • the length of the oblong holes 28 delimits the stroke of the bolt axis between two extreme positions allowing on the one hand the free rotation of the shaft / blade assembly relative to the sleeve 11 at the end of the shaft 12 and other the blocking of the shaft / blade unit with respect to the sleeve 11 and the shaft 12.
  • the pin 40 In the first position, the pin 40 is located at the end of the oblong holes 28 on the chain side and the bolt axis 20 is outside the groove 50 thus allowing the free rotation of the axis 13 in the sleeve 11.
  • the pin 40 is located at the end of the oblong holes 28 on the blade side and the lock pin 20 is inside a groove 50 made in the axis 13 of the blades so as to block the rotation of the axis 13 in the sleeve 11.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the first position in which the blades are free and unlocked while the figure 3 illustrates the second position in which the blades are blocked.
  • the shape of the groove 50 is elongated so that the axis 13 of the blades can rotate on its axis by an arc of 70 ° when the lock pin 20 is engaged inside.
  • the anchor in the first phase of anchoring, the anchor is released from the boat and lowered into the water to immobilize the boat.
  • the mooring line is unrolled until the anchor reaches the bottom.
  • the mooring line continues to unroll until its length reaches at least three times the water level.
  • the chain is then placed generally at the bottom and its tension is not important. However, when the tension in the chain is low, the force exerted by the spring 22 is sufficient to maintain the sleeve 24 towards the end of the rod 10 on the side of the free loop 36 driving the spring 26 and therefore the 20.
  • the lever 34 and the rod 32 are then not aligned but form an angle as shown in FIG. figure 2 since the spring 22 exerts a force on the sleeve 24 and the rod which is not compensated by the tension of the chain so that the axis 42, positioned at the end of the rod and integral with the sleeve 24 is located side of the oblong holes 30 opposite the blades.
  • the sleeve 24 is held by the spring 22 in a position as close as possible to the end of the yard 10 on the side of the chain. In this way, the bolt axis remains outside the groove 50.
  • the anchor is towed on the bottom. Thanks to the free rotation of the axis 13 in the sleeve 11, the blades rotate about their axis. The small blades 15 and 17 as well as the blocks 16 help the rotation. In this way, the main blades 14 do not plow the bottom and do not tear the flora.
  • the line is moored to the boat and is stretched by the weight of the anchor.
  • the tension of the chain 18 increases and becomes greater than the threshold value, the lever 34 tends to align with the rod 10 by pivoting about the axis 46 attached to the rod 10, thus causing the rod 32 to align also on the axis of the rod 10 so that the axis 42 moves in the slot 30 towards its end side of the blades. Therefore, beyond a certain value of the tension of the chain, corresponding to the threshold value, the movements of the axis 42 and the sleeve 24 are not prevented by the action of the spring 22 which is compressed.
  • the lock pin 20 on which the spring 26 exerts a force then engages in the groove 50 as soon as it is then aligned thereon as shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • the blades are locked and stop rotating freely about their axis, so that the blades bury themselves in the ground and immobilize the boat.
  • the anchor then raises with the main blades 14 directed towards the bottom as shown on the figure 4 , without these have torn flora.
  • the chain 18 is then stretched during the ascent and the lock pin 20 then undergoes a significant pressure force of the spring 26 then compressed to the maximum.
  • the lock pin 20 is no longer opposite the opening 50 and then bears on the axis 13 without any effect on the blade locking system.
  • the unlocking locking mechanism is inside a hollow tube also has an advantage. Indeed, thanks to this fairing, the algae can not get stuck in the mechanism that remains clean.
  • the anchor does not transport algae from one site to another, thus preventing any spread of algae such as the alga Caulerpa Taxifolia, which is harmful for the balance of the underwater flora of the Mediterranean coasts.
