Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un stabilisateur de câble de manoeuvre d'une charge, telle qu'une embarcation, ainsi qu'une installation de manutention de charge intégrant un tel stabilisateur.The present invention relates to a load-handling cable stabilizer, such as a boat, and a load handling installation incorporating such a stabilizer.
Elle concerne plus particulièrement un stabilisateur du type comprenant au moins :
- une tête de contrôle de la position du câble, cette tête étant couplable à une structure porteuse, de préférence du genre bossoir, apte à être embarquée sur un engin ou une structure flottant(e) et équipée de moyens d'entraînement en déplacement de la tête pour le positionnement de la tête à l'aplomb de la charge apte à être manutentionnée à l'aide dudit câble de manoeuvre en vue d'une mise à l'eau ou hors d'eau de ladite charge,
- une centrale dite inertielle permettant de déterminer au moins une grandeur représentative de l'accélération et/ou des déplacements de l'engin flottant sur lequel le stabilisateur est apte à être embarqué.
- a head for controlling the position of the cable, this head being couplable to a supporting structure, preferably of the davit type, adapted to be loaded onto a floating craft or structure and equipped with drive means for moving the head for the positioning of the head vertically above the load capable of being handled by means of said operating cable for launching or discharging said load,
- a so-called inertial unit for determining at least one magnitude representative of the acceleration and / or displacements of the floating machine on which the stabilizer is able to be shipped.
La mise à l'eau, notamment depuis un navire, ou le hissage hors d'eau, d'embarcation de sauvetage ou d'intervention comprenant un équipage est souvent une épreuve fatigante pour l'équipage, en particulier lorsque les conditions météorologiques sont mauvaises. La course de l'embarcation entre le moment où elle quitte, ou respectivement atteint, le navire et celle où elle atteint, ou respectivement quitte, l'eau apparaît souvent comme très longue aux passagers de l'embarcation car l'embarcation peut être soumise à des oscillations d'amplitude importante au cours de ladite course. En effet, jusqu'à présent, les installations de manutention de charges, telles que des embarcations, comprennent une structure porteuse du genre bossoir équipée à l'extrémité de son bras de manutention d'une poulie fixe à câble de levage. Cette poulie est positionnée à l'aide du bras à l'aplomb de l'embarcation à mettre à l'eau ou à hisser hors de l'eau. La commande du bras s'effectue après repérage visuel de la position de l'embarcation. Il en résulte une imprécision dans la position de la poulie au-dessus de l'embarcation. Le câble enroulé partiellement autour de la poulie est accroché au niveau de son extrémité libre à l'embarcation. Une fois accroché, l'opération de levage ou de mise à l'eau peut débuter. Dans le cas d'une opération de hissage hors de l'eau, rien n'empêche le câble d'osciller. La stabilisation s'effectue en fin de course de levage lorsque l'embarcation vient au contact d'un plateau fixé à la tête du bossoir. Ces phénomènes d'oscillation sont observés de la même manière lorsque l'embarcation est mise à l'eau.Launching, including from a vessel, or overwater hoisting, lifeboat, or crew response is often a tiring ordeal for the crew, especially when weather conditions are poor . The race of the boat between the moment when it leaves, or respectively reaches, the ship and the one where it reaches, or respectively leaves, the water often appears very long to the passengers of the boat because the boat can be subjected oscillations of significant amplitude during said race. Indeed, until now, load handling facilities, such as boats, include a load-bearing structure of the type davit equipped at the end of its handling arm of a fixed rope pulley lifting. This pulley is positioned using the arm in line with the boat to launch or hoist out of the water. The control of the arm is done after visual identification of the position of the boat. This results in inaccuracy in the position of the pulley above the boat. The cable wound partially around the pulley is hooked at its free end to the boat. Once hooked, the lifting or launching operation can begin. In the case of a hoist operation out of the water, nothing prevents the cable from oscillating. The stabilization is performed at the end of the lifting stroke when the boat comes into contact with a plate attached to the head of the davit. These oscillation phenomena are observed in the same way when the boat is launched.
Un but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un stabilisateur de câble et une installation de manutention intégrant un tel stabilisateur dont les conceptions permettent de contrôler les mouvements de la charge à manutentionner dès le début de sa course de mise hors d'eau ou de mise à l'eau.An object of the present invention is therefore to propose a cable stabilizer and a handling installation incorporating such a stabilizer whose designs make it possible to control the movements of the load to be handled from the beginning of its out of water race or launching.

Un vérin 20 est disposé entre le bras 18 et la base 8 pour permettre, lors de son actionnement, l'entraînement à pivotement de la base 8 de la tête du stabilisateur autour de son axe pivot de liaison au bras 18 en vue d'un maintien permanent à l'état vertical du passage 10 de câble.The head is pivotally connected to its base at the free end of the
Les moyens 22 de pilotage des actionneurs 11 du stabilisateur et des vérins 19, 20 du bossoir sont formés par une unité électronique et informatique de traitement et de calcul. Ladite unité peut être réalisée sous la forme d'un circuit électronique muni d'un microcontrôleur ou d'un microprocesseur associé à une mémoire de stockage de données. Ainsi, lorsque dans la suite de la description, il est précisé que des moyens donnés sont configurés pour réaliser une opération donnée, cela signifie que le système électronique et informatique qui forme lesdits moyens comprend des instructions informatiques permettant de réaliser ladite opération. Ces moyens de pilotage sont configurés pour acquérir, par l'intermédiaire de la centrale 7 inertielle et des moyens 9 de détection de la position de la charge, des données, pour comparer ces données à des valeurs mémorisées et piloter l'ensemble des actionneurs en fonction du résultat de la comparaison.The means 22 for controlling the
En pratique, le hissage d'une embarcation hors d'eau s'opère comme suit. Dans un premier temps, l'embarcation à hisser à bord du navire est accrochée à l'aide d'une pantoire 21 au navire pour maintenir l'embarcation sensiblement parallèle audit navire. Le bras 18 du bossoir est déployé et la tête du stabilisateur positionnée à la vertical du point d'accrochage du câble sur l'embarcation à l'aide des signaux optiques échangés entre tête du stabilisateur et embarcation par l'intermédiaire des moyens 9 de détection de la position d'embarcation. Le câble peut alors être accroché à l'embarcation en un point d'accrochage prédéterminé. Le positionnement du passage du câble est affiné à l'aide des actionneurs 11 au cours du hissage de l'embarcation en fonction de données fournies par la centrale inertielle embarquée sur la tête du stabilisateur et par les moyens 9 de détection de position pour assurer un hissage le plus vertical possible. Ce hissage s'opère par actionnement du treuil et des vérins 19, 20 qui maintiennent le bras 18 et la tête 3 dans des positionnements également optimaux.In practice, the hoisting of a boat out of water is as follows. Initially, the boat to be hoisted on the ship is hooked with a 21 to the vessel to hold the boat substantially parallel to said vessel. The
En fin de course de levage, le bras 18 est actionné à l'aide du vérin 19 qui se rétracte pour permettre le passage du bras de la position de travail à la position de stockage. Pour une mise à l'eau de l'embarcation, on procède de manière inverse.At the end of the lifting stroke, the
