Description

La présente invention concerne un ensemble perfectionné d'un mât télescopique et d'un dispositif de support d'un équipement d'un véhicule sous-marin.The present invention relates to an improved assembly of a telescopic mast and a device for supporting an equipment of an underwater vehicle.

Dans la description qui va suivre, on appelle « environnement sous-marin » l'environnement dans lequel est destiné à évoluer le véhicule sous-marin.In the following description, the term "underwater environment" is the environment in which the underwater vehicle is intended to evolve.

Le dispositif de support est destiné à porter ledit équipement en environnement sous-marin, c'est-à-dire à l'extérieur du véhicule sous-marin. A cet effet, le dispositif de support est monté sur un mât télescopique du véhicule sous-marin.The support device is intended to carry said equipment underwater environment, that is to say outside the submarine vehicle. For this purpose, the support device is mounted on a telescopic mast of the underwater vehicle.

On connaît déjà, dans l'état de la technique, un dispositif de support, en environnement sous-marin, d'un équipement de véhicule sous-marin, ledit dispositif de support comportant une enceinte fixe de logement de l'équipement et d'au moins une partie d'un mât télescopique portant cet équipement.Already known in the state of the art, a support device, underwater environment, a subsea vehicle equipment, said support device comprising a fixed housing housing equipment and at least a portion of a telescopic mast carrying this equipment.

Une telle enceinte de logement est propre à résister à des pressions en environnement sous-marin, afin de protéger l'équipement qui y est logé contre cet environnement sous-marin.Such a housing enclosure is able to withstand pressures in the underwater environment, to protect the equipment housed therein against this underwater environment.

Une telle enceinte de logement est généralement encombrante et présente une masse importante, et de ce fait est peu adaptée pour un véhicule sous-marin de petite ou moyenne taille.Such a housing enclosure is generally bulky and has a large mass, and therefore is not suitable for a submarine vehicle of small or medium size.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, il est possible de prévoir un dispositif de support comportant une enceinte de logement de l'équipement, propre à résister à des pressions d'environnement sous-marin, et un organe mobile de support de cette enceinte, agencé sur une partie mobile d'un mât télescopique du véhicule sous marin, cet organe de support étant propre à déplacer l'enceinte de façon à modifier son orientation.To remedy this drawback, it is possible to provide a support device comprising a housing housing of the equipment, able to withstand underwater environment pressures, and a movable support member of this enclosure, arranged on a mobile part of a telescopic mast of the underwater vehicle, this support member being able to move the enclosure so as to change its orientation.

Dans ce cas, les moyens de déplacement de l'équipement sont agencés hors de l'enceinte, si bien qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de prévoir une enceinte suffisamment volumineuse pour loger de tels moyens de déplacement de l'équipement.In this case, the means for moving the equipment are arranged outside the enclosure, so that it is not necessary to provide a sufficiently large enclosure for accommodating such means of movement of the equipment.

Ainsi, l'enceinte présente une taille réduite, adaptée pour loger l'équipement uniquement. Les moyens de déplacement, logés hors de l'enceinte, manipulent cette enceinte pour permettre le déplacement et l'orientation de l'équipement. Du fait de la taille réduite de l'enceinte, un tel dispositif de support peut être aisément agencé sur un véhicule sous marin de petite taille.Thus, the enclosure has a reduced size, adapted to house the equipment only. The moving means, housed outside the enclosure, manipulate this enclosure to allow movement and orientation of the equipment. Due to the small size of the enclosure, such a support device can be easily arranged on a small submarine vehicle.

Une telle enceinte devrait alors comporter une ouverture d'accès à l'équipement, cette ouverture étant obturable par une trappe d'obturation. A cet effet, on peut prévoir un sous-ensemble comprenant ladite trappe d'obturation, sa portée d'étanchéité et sa motorisation, ce sous ensemble étant rapporté sur l'enceinte. Toutefois, dans ce cas, ce sous-ensemble a pour effet d'augmenter l'encombrement et la masse de l'enceinte, donc son inertie.Such a chamber should then include an access opening to the equipment, this opening being closable by a shutter door. For this purpose, it is possible to provide a subassembly comprising said shutter, its sealing range and its motorization, this subassembly being attached to the enclosure. However, in this case, this subassembly has the effect of increasing the size and mass of the enclosure, so its inertia.

L'invention a notamment pour but de remédier à cet inconvénient, en fournissant un ensemble d'un mât télescopique et d'un dispositif de support d'équipement, dans lequel l'encombrement et la masse de l'enceinte logeant l'équipement sont limités, afin d'optimiser sa manoeuvrabilité.The object of the invention is in particular to remedy this drawback by providing an assembly of a telescopic mast and an equipment support device, in which the bulk and the mass of the enclosure housing the equipment are limited, in order to optimize its maneuverability.

A cet effet, l'invention a notamment pour objet un ensemble d'un mât télescopique de véhicule sous-marin et d'un dispositif de support d'un équipement du véhicule sous-marin, le mât comportant une partie fixe, destinée à être fixée à une structure du véhicule sous-marin, et une partie mobile par rapport à la partie fixe entre une position escamotée et une position déployée, caractérisé en ce que le dispositif de support comporte :

  • une enceinte de logement de l'équipement, propre à résister à des pressions d'environnement sous-marin, ladite enceinte comprenant au moins une ouverture d'accès à l'équipement,
  • une trappe d'obturation, propre à obturer ladite ouverture d'accès,
  • un organe de support de l'enceinte, agencé sur la partie mobile du mât, relié d'une part à l'enceinte par l'intermédiaire d'une première liaison mobile propre à déplacer cette enceinte de façon à modifier son orientation, et d'autre part à la trappe d'obturation par l'intermédiaire d'une seconde liaison mobile.
For this purpose, the subject of the invention is in particular an assembly of a telescopic mast of a submarine vehicle and a device for supporting an equipment of the underwater vehicle, the mast comprising a fixed part intended to be attached to a structure of the underwater vehicle, and a movable portion relative to the fixed portion between a retracted position and an extended position, characterized in that the support device comprises:
  • an enclosure for housing the equipment, suitable for withstanding underwater environment pressures, said enclosure comprising at least one access opening to the equipment,
  • a shutter flap, adapted to close said access opening,
  • a support member of the enclosure, arranged on the movable portion of the mast, connected on the one hand to the enclosure via a first movable connection adapted to move the enclosure so as to modify its orientation, and on the other hand to the shutter door via a second mobile link.

Ainsi, la trappe est portée par l'organe de support et non par l'enceinte, si bien que sa masse et son encombrement ne sont pas reportés sur cette enceinte.Thus, the hatch is carried by the support member and not by the enclosure, so that its mass and its size are not reported on this enclosure.

Un ensemble selon l'invention peut comporter en outre l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, prise(s) seule ou selon toute combinaison techniquement envisageable.

  • La seconde liaison mobile est propre à déplacer ladite trappe d'obturation entre une position d'obturation, dans laquelle cette trappe obture l'ouverture d'accès correspondante, et une position de dégagement, dans laquelle cette trappe est disposée à distance de l'enceinte.

  • L'enceinte comporte deux ouvertures d'accès, chacune étant propre à être obturée par une trappe d'obturation respective, au moins l'une de ces trappes d'obturation, de préférence les deux, étant reliée à l'organe de support par une seconde liaison mobile respective.
  • L'organe de support est mobile en rotation autour d'un premier axe par rapport au mât, notamment un axe longitudinal de ce mât, la première liaison mobile étant une liaison pivot autour d'un second axe sensiblement perpendiculaire au premier axe.
  • L'organe de support comporte : une première partie, s'étendant dans la direction du premier axe, et portant la première liaison mobile, et au moins une seconde partie, solidaire de la première, s'étendant dans une autre direction différente de celle du premier axe, et portant la seconde liaison mobile d'une trappe d'obturation respective.
  • La seconde liaison mobile est une liaison glissière, propre à déplacer la trappe d'obturation correspondante en translation.
  • La seconde liaison mobile est une liaison pivot, propre à déplacer la trappe d'obturation correspondante en rotation autour d'un axe.
  • L'enceinte présente une forme générale tubulaire cylindrique, comportant une ouverture d'accès à au moins une de ses extrémités.
  • L'équipement comporte au moins une arme, notamment une arme anti-aérienne, telle qu'un missile et des moyens de lancement de ce missile.
An assembly according to the invention may further comprise one or more of the following characteristics, taken alone or in any technically feasible combination.
  • The second movable link is able to move said shutter door between a closed position, in which this door closes the corresponding access opening, and a release position, in which this door is disposed at a distance from the door. pregnant.

L'invention concerne également un véhicule sous marin comportant un ensemble tel que défini précédemment.The invention also relates to an underwater vehicle comprising an assembly as defined above.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux figures annexées parmi lesquelles :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un ensemble d'un mât télescopique de véhicule sous-marin et d'un dispositif de support selon un exemple de mode de réalisation de l'invention, montrant une enceinte et des trappes de cet ensemble, représentées dans une première position ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue similaire à la figure 1, dans lequel l'enceinte et les trappes sont disposées dans une autre position.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the appended figures in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of an assembly of a submarine vehicle telescopic mast and a support device according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, showing an enclosure and traps of this assembly, shown in FIG. a first position;
  • the figure 2 is a view similar to the figure 1 , in which the enclosure and the hatches are arranged in another position.

On a représenté sur les figures un ensemble 10 comprenant un mât télescopique 12 et un dispositif 14 de support d'un équipement 16 de véhicule sous marin, pour l'utilisation de cet équipement 16, par exemple en environnement sous marin.There is shown in the figures an assembly 10 comprising a telescopic mast 12 and a device 14 for supporting a submarine vehicle equipment 16, for the use of this equipment 16, for example in underwater environment.

Le mât télescopique 12 peut être de n'importe quel type connu. De manière classique, le mât télescopique 12 comporte une partie fixe 17 destinée à être fixée à la structure du véhicule sous-marin, cette structure étant également appelée « massif » du sous-marin. A cet effet, le mât télescopique 12 comporte des moyens de fixation 17A de cette partie fixe 17 sur le massif du véhicule sous-marin.The telescopic mast 12 can be of any known type. Conventionally, the telescopic mast 12 comprises a fixed part 17 intended to be fixed to the structure of the underwater vehicle, this structure also being called "massif" of the submarine. For this purpose, the telescopic mast 12 comprises fastening means 17A of this fixed part 17 on the solid mass of the underwater vehicle.

Le mât télescopique 12 comporte également une partie 18, mobile par rapport à la partie fixe 17 le long d'un premier axe Z, dit axe vertical, entre une position escamotée à l'intérieur du véhicule sous-marin et une position déployée à l'extérieur du véhicule sous-marin. A cet effet, le mât télescopique 12 comporte des moyens classiques 19 de hissage et d'affalage de la partie mobile 18.The telescopic mast 12 also comprises a portion 18 movable relative to the fixed portion 17 along a first axis Z, said vertical axis, between a retracted position inside the underwater vehicle and a deployed position at the outside of the underwater vehicle. For this purpose, the telescopic mast 12 comprises conventional means 19 for hoisting and slackening the movable part 18.

Le dispositif de support 14 est porté par la partie mobile 18, de sorte qu'il peut être hissé hors du véhicule sous-marin pour permettre l'utilisation de l'équipement 16. Lorsque l'équipement 16 est destiné à être utilisé en milieu atmosphérique, le mât 12 est susceptible de hisser cet équipement 16 hors du milieu sous-marin, pour autant que le véhicule sous-marin est suffisamment proche de la surface ce milieu sous-marin.The support device 14 is carried by the mobile part 18, so that it can be hoisted out of the underwater vehicle to allow the use of the equipment 16. When the equipment 16 is intended to be used in the middle In the atmosphere, the mast 12 is capable of hoisting this equipment 16 out of the underwater environment, provided that the underwater vehicle is sufficiently close to the surface of this submarine environment.

Conformément au mode de réalisation décrit, et comme cela est représenté sur la figure 2, l'équipement 16 comporte au moins une arme, notamment une arme anti-aérienne. Par exemple, cette arme comporte des missiles anti-aériens et des moyens de lancement de ces missiles, généralement logés dans un cylindre de protection ouvert au moins à l'une des ses extrémités pour permettre le tir de ces missiles.According to the embodiment described, and as shown on the figure 2 , the equipment 16 comprises at least one weapon, including an anti-aircraft weapon. For example, this weapon includes anti-aircraft missiles and means for launching these missiles, usually housed in a protective cylinder open at least at one of its ends to allow the firing of these missiles.

En variante, l'équipement pourrait être constitué par tout dispositif destiné à être utilisé hors du véhicule sous-marin, par exemple un senseur optronique, un radar, ou un moyen de communication.Alternatively, the equipment could be constituted by any device intended to be used outside the underwater vehicle, for example an optronic sensor, a radar, or a means of communication.

Le dispositif de support 14 comporte une enceinte 20 de logement de l'équipement 16 et un organe mobile 22 de support de cette enceinte 20.The support device 14 comprises an enclosure 20 for housing the equipment 16 and a movable member 22 for supporting this enclosure 20.

L'enceinte 20 est destinée à loger l'équipement 16, et présente donc des dimensions adaptées à cet équipement 16. Dans l'exemple représenté, l'enceinte 20 est formée par un corps tubulaire de forme générale cylindrique, et de diamètre intérieur sensiblement égal au diamètre dudit cylindre de protection défini précédemment, de sorte que ce cylindre de protection est sensiblement immobilisé lorsqu'il est logé dans l'enceinte 20.The enclosure 20 is intended to house the equipment 16, and therefore has dimensions adapted to this equipment 16. In the example shown, the enclosure 20 is formed by a tubular body of generally cylindrical shape, and of substantially internal diameter. equal to the diameter of said protection cylinder defined above, so that this protection cylinder is substantially immobilized when it is housed in the enclosure 20.

Conformément au mode de réalisation décrit, l'enceinte 20 comporte un orifice d'accès supérieur 24 à l'une de ses extrémités, et un orifice d'accès inférieur 26 à l'autre de ses extrémités.According to the embodiment described, the enclosure 20 has an upper access port 24 at one of its ends, and a lower access port 26 at the other of its ends.

Avantageusement, l'enceinte 20 est conçue dans un matériau adapté pour permettre à cette enceinte 20 de résister à des pressions en environnement sous-marin, fonction de l'immersion du véhicule sous-marin. L'enceinte 20 est par exemple conçue en acier à haute résistance, titane, et matériaux composites, et présente une structure similaire à un tube lance-arme de sous-marin.Advantageously, the chamber 20 is designed in a material adapted to allow this chamber 20 to withstand pressures in the underwater environment, depending on the immersion of the underwater vehicle. The enclosure 20 is for example made of high-strength steel, titanium, and composite materials, and has a structure similar to a submarine gun-throwing tube.

Le dispositif de support 14 comporte par ailleurs, pour chaque ouverture d'accès 24, 26, une trappe d'obturation respective, propre à obturer l'ouverture d'accès correspondante. Plus particulièrement, le dispositif de support 14 comporte une trappe d'obturation supérieure 28 destinée à obturer l'ouverture d'accès supérieure 24, et une trappe d'obturation inférieure 30, destinée à obturer l'ouverture d'accès inférieure 26. Ces trappes 28, 30 sont propres à refermer de manière étanche l'enceinte 20, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 1.The support device 14 furthermore comprises, for each access opening 24, 26, a respective shutter hatch, capable of closing off the access opening. corresponding. More particularly, the support device 14 comprises an upper shutter door 28 intended to close the upper access opening 24, and a lower shutter door 30 intended to close the lower access opening 26. hatches 28, 30 are adapted to seal the enclosure 20 as shown in FIG. figure 1 .

A cet effet, chaque trappe d'obturation 28, 30 comporte une portée circonférentielle d'étanchéité, destinée à coopérer avec un contour de l'ouverture d'accès 24, 26 correspondante.For this purpose, each shutter 28, 30 has a circumferential sealing surface, intended to cooperate with a contour of the access opening 24, 26 correspondingly.

L'enceinte 20 est reliée à l'organe de support 22, par l'intermédiaire d'une première liaison mobile 32, propre à déplacer cette enceinte 20 de façon à modifier son orientation.The enclosure 20 is connected to the support member 22, via a first movable link 32, able to move the enclosure 20 so as to change its orientation.

Par ailleurs, chaque trappe d'obturation 28, 30 est également reliée à l'organe de support 22, par l'intermédiaire d'une seconde liaison mobile 34 respective.Furthermore, each shutter door 28, 30 is also connected to the support member 22, via a second movable link 34 respectively.

Ainsi, l'enceinte 20 et les trappes d'obturation 28, 30 ne sont liées que par l'intermédiaire de l'organe de support 22.Thus, the enclosure 20 and the shutter doors 28, 30 are only connected via the support member 22.

La première liaison mobile 32 est propre à déplacer l'enceinte 20 entre une position de repos, telle que représentée sur la figure 1, dans laquelle chaque ouverture d'accès 24, 26 est disposée en regard de la trappe d'obturation 28, 30 correspondante, et au moins une autre position, telle que représentée sur la figure 2, dans laquelle chaque ouverture d'accès 24, 26 n'est plus disposée en regard de la trappe d'obturation 28, 30 correspondante.The first mobile link 32 is adapted to move the enclosure 20 between a rest position, as shown in FIG. figure 1 , in which each access opening 24, 26 is disposed facing the corresponding closure flap 28, 30, and at least one other position, as shown in FIG. figure 2 , in which each access opening 24, 26 is no longer disposed opposite the corresponding shutter 28, 30.

Par exemple, la première liaison mobile 32 est une liaison pivot autour d'un second axe Y sensiblement perpendiculaire au premier axe Z. A cet effet, conformément au mode de réalisation décrit, la première liaison mobile 32 comporte une partie cylindrique male portée par l'enceinte, et une partie femelle complémentaire ménagée dans l'organe de support 22, formant un palier.For example, the first movable link 32 is a pivot connection about a second axis Y substantially perpendicular to the first axis Z. For this purpose, according to the embodiment described, the first movable link 32 comprises a male cylindrical portion carried by the enclosure, and a complementary female portion formed in the support member 22, forming a bearing.

Chaque seconde liaison mobile 34 est propre à déplacer la trappe d'obturation 28, 30 correspondante, entre une position d'obturation, telle que représentée sur la figure 1, dans laquelle cette trappe 28, 30 obture l'ouverture d'accès 24, 26 correspondante, et une position de dégagement, et qui est représenté sur la figure 2, dans laquelle cette trappe 28, 30 est disposée à distance de l'enceinte 20.Each second mobile link 34 is adapted to move the corresponding shutter 28, 30, between a closed position, as shown in FIG. figure 1 , in which this hatch 28, 30 closes the corresponding access opening 24, 26, and a release position, and which is represented on the figure 2 , in which this hatch 28, 30 is disposed at a distance from the enclosure 20.

La seconde liaison mobile 34 est par exemple une liaison glissière, propre à déplacer la trappe d'obturation 28, 30 correspondante en translation. En particulier, chaque seconde liaison mobile 34 comporte par exemple un vérin comprenant une tige mobile, à laquelle la trappe d'obturation 28, 30 correspondante est fixée.The second mobile link 34 is for example a slide connection, capable of moving the corresponding shutter 28, 30 in translation. In particular, each second mobile link 34 comprises for example a jack comprising a movable rod, to which the corresponding shutter 28, 30 is fixed.

Plus particulièrement, la liaison glissière déplace la trappe d'obturation 28, 30 correspondante en translation dans une direction correspondant à la direction longitudinale de l'enceinte 20 en position de repos. Dans l'exemple représenté, cette direction est parallèle au premier axe Z.More particularly, the slide connection moves the corresponding shutter 28, 30 in translation in a direction corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the enclosure 20 in the rest position. In the example shown, this direction is parallel to the first axis Z.

Par ailleurs, l'organe de support 22 est également mobile en rotation autour du premier axe Z par rapport à la partie mobile 18 du mât 12. Ainsi, il est possible de modifier l'orientation de l'enceinte 20, en entrainant cette enceinte 20 autour du premier axe Z et du second axe Y, si bien que cette enceinte 20 peut prendre n'importe quelle orientation, ainsi que l'équipement 16 qui y est logé. On rappelle que l'équipement 16 peut également être déplacé en hauteur par la partie mobile 18 du mât télescopique 12, grâce aux moyens de hissage.Furthermore, the support member 22 is also rotatable about the first axis Z with respect to the movable portion 18 of the mast 12. Thus, it is possible to modify the orientation of the enclosure 20, causing this enclosure 20 about the first axis Z and the second axis Y, so that the enclosure 20 can take any orientation, as well as the equipment 16 that is housed therein. It is recalled that the equipment 16 can also be moved upwards by the mobile part 18 of the telescopic mast 12, thanks to the hoisting means.

Afin de porter les première 32 et secondes 34 liaisons mobiles, l'organe de support 22 comporte par exemple une première partie 22A, s'étendant dans la direction du premier axe Z, et portant la première liaison mobile 32, et au moins une seconde partie 22B, par exemple deux secondes parties 22B, chacune solidaire de la première partie 22A, s'étendant dans une direction différente de celle du premier axe Z, par exemple dans une direction parallèle au second axe Y. Chaque seconde partie 22B porte la seconde liaison mobile 34 d'une trappe d'obturation 28, 30 correspondante. Ainsi, l'organe de support 22 présente une section longitudinale, dans un plan parallèle aux premier Z et second Y axes, en forme générale de C.In order to carry the first 32 and second 34 mobile links, the support member 22 comprises for example a first portion 22A, extending in the direction of the first axis Z, and carrying the first movable link 32, and at least one second part 22B, for example two second portions 22B, each secured to the first portion 22A, extending in a direction different from that of the first axis Z, for example in a direction parallel to the second axis Y. Each second portion 22B carries the second mobile connection 34 of a corresponding shutter 28, 30. Thus, the support member 22 has a longitudinal section, in a plane parallel to the first Z and second Y axes, generally C-shaped.

Il convient de noter que, lorsque les trappes d'obturations 28, 30 sont dans leurs positions d'obturation, elles entravent le déplacement de l'enceinte 20, si bien que cette enceinte 20 est maintenue dans sa position de repos tant que ces trappes d'obturation 28, 30 sont dans leurs positions d'obturation.It should be noted that, when the shutter traps 28, 30 are in their closed positions, they hinder the movement of the enclosure 20, so that the enclosure 20 is kept in its rest position as long as these traps shutter 28, 30 are in their closed positions.

En revanche, le déplacement de l'enceinte 20 est libre lorsque les trappes d'obturation sont dans leurs positions de dégagement.On the other hand, the displacement of the enclosure 20 is free when the shutter doors are in their disengagement positions.

Ainsi, lorsque l'équipement 16 doit être utilisé, les trappes d'obturation 28, 30 sont dans un premier temps ouverte par l'activation des secondes liaisons mobiles 34, de sorte qu'elles se déplacent en translation à distance de l'enceinte 20. Il est à noter que ce déplacement doit être suffisant pour assurer que l'enceinte ne vienne pas en contact avec une des trappes 28, 30 lors de son déplacement.Thus, when the equipment 16 is to be used, the shutter traps 28, 30 are initially opened by the activation of the second mobile links 34, so that they move in translation at a distance from the enclosure 20. It should be noted that this movement must be sufficient to ensure that the enclosure does not come into contact with one of the hatches 28, 30 during its displacement.

L'enceinte 20 peut ensuite être entrainée en rotation par la première liaison mobile 32, et ainsi, être disposée dans une orientation souhaitée.The enclosure 20 may then be rotated by the first movable link 32, and thus be disposed in a desired orientation.

On notera que l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation précédemment décrit, et peut présenter diverses variantes sans sortir du cadre des revendications.Note that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and may have various variants without departing from the scope of the claims.

En particulier, au moins l'une des trappes 28, 30 pourrait être reliée à l'organe de support 22 par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison pivot.In particular, at least one of the hatches 28, 30 could be connected to the support member 22 via a pivot connection.
