Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support structure and guidance for a hoistable submarine vehicle mast, also called periscopic mast.
  • Such a hoistable mast is generally intended to carry communication means for the underwater vehicle, such as transmit and / or receive radio antennas, or to carry means for exploring the environment of the undercarriage. such as radar antennas, sensors or periscopes.
  • a hoist submarine mast in hoisted position, is subject to strong constraints from the underwater environment in which the vehicle evolves.
  • this mast is subjected to a high longitudinal stress due to a reaction force of the water.
  • the means for guiding the mast in translation in said hoisting direction enable the mast to be hoisted longitudinally between a retracted position inside a solid mass of the underwater vehicle and a hoisted position.
  • Such a support also carries fastening means on the solid mass, which is a structural part of the underwater vehicle.
  • the mast and its support can be reported together, in a single mounting operation, in the underwater vehicle.
  • the support comprises four walls flanking the mast transversely to said hoisting direction, so as to form a housing transversely closed for this mast.
  • a support of the type defined above is described in EP 1 177 974 B1 and in EP 0 711 702 A1 .
  • the purpose of the invention is in particular to reduce improving the stability of the mast, while reducing the mass and the bulk of the support.
  • Such a support comprising a wall on one side of the mast, has a dimension in a direction perpendicular to said hoisting direction, less than the size of a support of the state of the art in the same direction which has a wall on each side of the mast.
  • stops in both said second and third directions makes it possible to recover the forces in these two directions, and thus to provide good stability to the mast, even in the case where the support comprises only one wall.
  • the invention finally relates to an underwater vehicle, of the type comprising a structural part for receiving at least one hoistable mast, characterized in that it comprises an assembly as defined above, whose support is fixed to the structural part. by means of fixing means.
  • FIG. 1 We have shown on the figure 1 an assembly 10 of a hoistable mast 12, in particular for an underwater vehicle, and a support 14 for this mast. On this figure 1 , the mast 12 is shown in the hoisted position.
  • the mast 12 is connected to the support 14 via means 16 for guiding the mast in translation in a vertical hoisting direction Z, for hoisting and lowering this mast 12.
  • the guiding means 16 comprise guide rails 18, carried by the support 14 and extending in said hoisting direction Z.
  • the guiding means 16 comprise, for each guide rail 18, at least one element 20. complementary guide, carried by the mast 12, and intended to cooperate with the rail 18.
  • the rails 18 and the guide elements 20 are shown in particular on the figure 2 .
  • the mast 12 comprises a first portion 22 carrying the guide elements 20, and a second portion 24 integral with the first 22, carrying means 26.
  • intervention means 26 comprise for example means of communication , such as a transmitting and / or receiving radio antenna, means for exploring the environment of the submarine, such as a radar antenna, a sensor or a periscope, or any other means capable of be integrated into a submarine mast.
  • the support 14 comprises a central wall 32, of generally flat shape, extending longitudinally parallel to said hoisting direction Z.
  • the central wall 32 comprises a plurality of openings 31 of relief .
  • second direction Y the horizontal direction perpendicular to said hoisting direction Z and the central wall 32
  • third direction X the direction perpendicular to the directions Y and Z.
  • the support 14 also comprises two lateral uprights 34, extending in said second direction Y, perpendicular to the central wall 32, as shown in FIG. figure 2 , so that the support 14 has substantially a section U-shaped in a cutting plane perpendicular to the direction of hoisting Z.
  • these lateral uprights 34 are integral with the central wall 32.
  • Each upright 34 carries a guide rail 18, these two guide rails 18 preferably being arranged facing one another.
  • the wall 32 comprises at least one guide rail 18, in order to optimize the stability of the mast 12 during its movement in said hoisting direction Z.
  • Each rail 18 which is carried by one of the uprights 34 has a U-shaped cross-section, comprising lateral portions forming the U-branches, between which the guide element 20 is housed. These lateral portions form abutments 18A. for each guide element 20 associated so as to immobilize this guide element 20 in said second direction Y. Furthermore, the rail 18 carried by the wall 32, of similar configuration, forms stops 18A for each associated guide element 20. in order to immobilize this guide element 20 in said third direction X.
  • the mast 12 is thus maintained on the support 14 in said second Y and third X directions, and can therefore be moved only in translation in said hoisting direction Z. This holding of the mast 12 on the support 14 facilitates the handling of the assembly 10 when mounted in an underwater vehicle.
  • abutments 18A both in said second Y and third X directions makes it possible to provide good stability to the mast 12, in particular by carrying out a recovery of forces in these two directions Y, X.
  • the guide rail 18 of the wall 32 is advantageously carried by this wall 32 near a lateral upright 34, so as to benefit from the robustness of this lateral upright 34.
  • the mast 12 is not symmetrical with respect to a central plane perpendicular to the central wall 32, but has a first mass half greater than that of a second half.
  • the guide rail 18 of the wall 32 is preferably arranged on the side of the upper mast half, in order to sustain it robustly.
  • Such a support 14 defines a housing space 33 for the mast 12, this housing space 33 being open in substantially any horizontal plane. Indeed, in the example shown, this open housing 33 is defined only by the wall 32 and the uprights 34.
  • a support 14 according to the invention is less cumbersome than a support of the state of the art which transversely frames the mast, and therefore which extends beyond the mast in any direction perpendicular to said Z. hoisting direction
  • the assembly 10 comprises means 36 for motorizing the mast 12, for driving this mast 12 in said hoisting direction Z.
  • These motorization means 36 may be of any known type. Because the housing 33 delimited by the support 14 is open, the access to the mast 12 for these motorization means 36 is relatively simple.
  • the support 14 carries fastening means 40 provided for this purpose, in particular visible on the figure 2 .
  • This structural part 38 is also called "massif".
  • the structural portion 38 has a central partition 38A and two side walls 38B extending perpendicularly to the central partition 38A so that the structural portion 38 has a U-section in a horizontal sectional plane.
  • the structural part also comprises two flanges 38C, each extending a side wall 38B, folded substantially parallel to the central partition 38A, so that the structural part 38 surrounds the support 14.
  • the fastening means 30 comprise fastening elements 42 carried by the support 14.
  • Each fastening element 42 is for example formed by a screw jack, extending between the support 14 and the structural part 38.
  • the fixing elements 42A, 42C clamp the support 14 in said second direction Y, between the central partition 38A and the flanges 38C, and the fixing elements 42B clamp the support 14 in said third direction X, between the side walls 38B.
  • the fasteners 42 form support means of the support 14 on the structural part 38 in said second Y and third X directions.
  • the fixing means 30 also comprise means 43 for screwing to the ground, represented on the figure 1 .
  • the mast 12 has, in said second direction Y perpendicular to the central wall 32, a dimension which is greater than its dimension in said third horizontal direction X.
  • the wall 32 extends parallel to the smallest dimension of the mast 12, and therefore has a width substantially equal to this smaller dimension of the mast 12.
  • the support 14 is even less bulky than that of the first embodiment.
  • the support 14 comprises horizontal reinforcement ribs 48, extending between the guide rails 18, making it possible to improve the mechanical strength of this support 14, in particular the resistance to the stresses induced by the forces applied by the water in which the underwater vehicle moves when the mast 12 is hoisted.
  • the first part of the mast 12 forms a carriage 22 intended to carry the second part 24 of this mast 12.
  • the carriage 22 comprises two guide elements 20 for each rail 18, these guide elements 20 being arranged at each end of this carriage 22 in said hoisting direction Z.
  • the second part 24 comprises a payload, for example an optronic sensor, a radar, a means of communication or any other device required for a mission of the underwater vehicle.
  • a payload for example an optronic sensor, a radar, a means of communication or any other device required for a mission of the underwater vehicle.
  • the motorization means 28 comprise a hoist 44 cooperating with the carriage 22, in particular by means of a tube 46 for guiding the jack relative to the support 14, carried by the carriage 22, so as to increase the stiffness.
  • the guide elements 20 for at least two rails 18 are fixed on this guide tube 46.
  • the assembly 10 is attached to the structural part 38 of the submarine so that the support 14 is located towards the rear of the submarine relative to the mast 12, in a longitudinal direction of the submarine.
  • the forces applied to the mast 12, for example by the water in which the submarine moves, from the front to the rear of this submarine, are transmitted to the support 14 optimally.
  • the support 14 could carry different types of hoisting masts, as long as they are compatible with the guide means 16.
