- traction cables 9a-9b connected to two traction winches 1A-Ob, the two traction winches advantageously being secured to each other.
- the ring or connecting hook I d is accurately positioned in a bipolar manner in the plane formed by the two straight lines constituted by said cables. 9a-9b, said straight lines intersecting at point C at the ring I d.
- Compact devices are commercially available, including an inertial unit equipped with a gyroscope and accelerometer for measuring movements, orientation and position of an obj and which it is secured. It will be possible to use a device marketed by XSens Technologies B. V. (the Netherlands). These devices generally comprise a metal support on which is fixed the inertial unit itself. This support will be attached to the link.
- an inertial unit is known to those skilled in the art, but its operation in the context of the invention is very particular. Indeed, in the final phase of the approach, just before the removal of the block on the book, the block comes knocking in general adjoining blocks before then move to its final position. These shocks induce sudden variations in speed, and therefore significant accelerations, which disturb the inertial unit, which is then no longer able to provide a precise and reliable calculated positioning, which creates an unacceptable shift in the calculated position of the block relative to one another. at its real position.
- the Kalman filter is a recursive estimator. This means that to estimate the current state of a system, only the previous state and the current measurements are needed to estimate the future position with optimal accuracy.
- the acceleration, angular or longitudinal has a series of peaks 15 during a lapse of time s ⁇ t.
- the block has hardly moved, but the mathematical calculation consisting of the double integration of accelerations on each of the axes over this period ⁇ t, generally leads to aberrant calculated movements, because not performed in reality.
- the Kalman filter detects these parasitic accelerations by simple analysis in real time of the previous step of the movement, the filter isolates them by clipping 16a-16b said accelerations, and thus does not take them into account in the mathematical calculation of the instantaneous position.
- the Kalman filter is able, by analyzing the previous steps, to predict the movements during this short period ⁇ t and thus to substitute for these parasitic accelerations, the probable evolution of the system, as represented in FIG. 6B, thus leading to better reliability in calculating the instantaneous position.
- the longitudinal acceleration peaks are observed to signal to the crane shocks blocks with adjacent blocks or those of the lower layer, but the accelerations themselves are not directly taken into account in the calculation of the position.
- the position of the block in real time it is measured, for example by means of an automatic theodolite shown in FIG. 4 in the same form 7a-7b as the data transmission device, the XYZ position.
- the inertial unit is provided with a DGPS satellite positioning system.
- This system known to those skilled in the art, is a differential system, that is to say, a beacon is installed on the inertial unit and a second beacon is installed on the ground at a fixed point.
- FIG. 7 shows a first global mode of operation of the positioning system, in which the six main raw parameters (longitudinal accelerations Xc-Yc-Zc and angular accelerations ⁇ l - ⁇ 2- ⁇ 3) are transmitted. from the inertial unit 6 to the computer, preferably located in the cabin 13 of the crane operator. The data is then processed within the computer 20 by the Kalman filter 20a and the position 21 of the block 4 is established on the basis of all or part of these 6 filtered parameters.
- the six main raw parameters (longitudinal accelerations Xc-Yc-Zc and angular accelerations ⁇ l - ⁇ 2- ⁇ 3) are transmitted.
- the computer preferably located in the cabin 13 of the crane operator.
- the data is then processed within the computer 20 by the Kalman filter 20a and the position 21 of the block 4 is established on the basis of all or part of these 6 filtered parameters.
- the crane operator knowing the type of shock and its amplitude, is able to judge the type of contact between the block being installed and the work already made, and thus determine in the absence of any visual contact , or any information from divers, the adequacy of the position of the block relative to the laying plan, so its correct installation.
- FIG. 7 there is shown a second preferred overall mode of operation of the positioning system, in which the 6 main parameters in the raw state (longitudinal accelerations Xc-Yc-Zc and angular accelerations ⁇ 1 - ⁇ 2- ⁇ 3) are transmitted from the inertial unit 6 to the computer preferably located in the cabin crane operator. Only the angular accelerating data ⁇ l - ⁇ 2- ⁇ 3 then processed within the computer 20 by the Kalman filter 20a, the position in the space of said inertial unit 6 being provided by a remote measurement means 7a.
- the link 8a consists of a bar, preferably rectilinear, resistant to torsion, and rigidly secured to the gripping tool, such that the orientation of the inertial unit secured to the link 8a has the same orientation along the Zc axis as the block 4.
- Said link 8a is connected to the connecting ring I d via a motorized bearing 30, electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic, powered by means not shown, acting as a pin when the engine is disengaged.
- a rigid arm acting as a reaction arm 32 is secured to one end of the fixed upper portion 30a of the motorized bearing 30, and at the other end, it is connected to a tension cable 9b under tension.
- the movable lower part 30b in relative rotation with respect to said fixed upper part, along the axis Zc of the motorized bearing, is rigidly connected to the upper end of said link 8a.
- the movable lower portion 30b of the motorized bearing drives the inertial unit 6 and the block 4, the angular displacements being substantially identical because of the torsional rigidity according to the invention.
- the reaction arm counterbalances the effects of torsion at the fixed upper portion 30a of the motorized bearing. Indeed, as shown in FIG. 8B, a torsion torque M applied to the fixed upper part 30a of the motorized bearing induces a rotation 32a of the reaction arm 32.
- the device according to the invention is represented with two traction cables 9a-9b, only the traction cable 9b is connected to the reaction arm, the cable 9a being connected directly, either to the ring or hook I d, either at the upper part 30a of the motor, in the immediate vicinity of its axis of rotation.
- the reaction arm 32 is connected directly to said cable.
- the motorization is removed, and the link 8a having a torsional stiffness along the axis Zc, is on the one hand suspended from the ring or hook I d, and from secondly rigidly connected to the reaction arm 32. It is then appropriate in this case, when entering the block wise on its storage area, as described above with reference to Figure 5, that the position of the gripping tool is pre adjusted in such a way that once the crane is in position in the removal zone, the block has the right orientation, since the crane operator then no longer has the means to vary this angular positioning along the vertical axis Zc.
- FIG. 8C shows an advantageous embodiment of the link 8 having torsional rigidity, which is in the form of a chain 8b. Indeed, in the absence of tension in the chain, it is possible to rotate it on its axis Z 1 Z 1 with little effort, but when we apply a significant tension, each of the links being perpendicularly connected to the following and the diameter of the wire of each of the rings being slightly less than the free internal diameter of the adjacent ring, the chain will naturally tend to reposition itself in a configuration of zero torsion, hence perpendicular to the adjacent link, as detailed in Figure 8C.
- the inertial unit 6 is integral with the rotatable lower part 30b of the motorized bearing.
- the link 8, 8a-8b with torsional rigidity along the axis Z 1 Z 1 can be obtained from a simple steel tube, or from a profile made of composite material, which has a good torsional rigidity, while maintaining great flexural flexibility in the XoZ and YoZ planes, which advantageously makes it possible to perform a first mechanical filtering of the shocks on the blocks, thus avoiding passing directly to the inertial unit all the parasitic accelerations due to shocks.
- the link 8 consists of a double spreader 8c consisting of:
- the double spreader 8c forms a trapezium and remains in the same vertical plane when a block 4 is suspended at the lower end of the double spreader 8c.
- This fixed distance of the rigid link 8a involves a larger storage space, less easy handling for the establishment and manipulation of the link.
- the double spreader has been described as being connected in their middle on the one hand to the movable part of the motorized bearing, and on the other hand to the gripping device, but it remains in the spirit of the invention if the point of attachment is eccentric in the same proportion and in the same direction, for each of the pedals.
- This variant is not the preferred version of the invention, because it has lower performance for the same mass of structure, that is to say, beams and chains.
- the hoisting rope is continuous up to the gripping device 5, the hook or the ring then being replaced by a mechanical cable clamp from gripping said hoisting rope at a fixed point on which the end of the traction cable or cables is connected, the part above the cable tie then acting as the lifting cable and the part below the cable tie acting as the link 8.
- the device for measuring the position and orientation of said object or block 4 consists of: a GPS device O 1 or preferably of the DGPS type as previously described, integral with the upper part 30a of the motorized bearing 30 and to deduce the position of the center of gravity of the block 4 when it is arranged at the lower end of the tensioned tie 8 arranged vertically whose length is known, and a determination of the orientation device 6 2 secured to the movable lower part 30b of the motor bearing which is secured, this orientation determining device preferably consisting of a magnetic compass indicating the azimuth relative to magnetic north, fixed on the upper beam of a double spreader 8c.
- the determination of the orientation allows to deduce the orientation of said block 4 suspended at said link stretched vertically 8 and thus allows to control the rotation of the motorized bearing 30 so as to place the block 4 in the orientation before removing it from the already existing blocks.
- the magnetic compass is advantageously installed on the upper fixed part. motorized bearing. Indeed, knowing the orientation relative to the magnetic north of the fixed upper portion 30a of the motorized bearing, and knowing the orientation of the movable lower part relative to the fixed upper part of the motorized bearing with the aid of the encoder angular, one can deduce the orientation of said block suspended at said stretched link 8 due to the torsional rigidity of said link 8a-8b-8c.
- FIG. 8D there is shown a DGPS O 1 installed on the fixed upper part 30a of the motorized bearing and a magnetic compass 6 2 secured to the mobile part of the motorized bearing, fixed to the end of the upper beam 80.
