- At least one of the plates 24a to 241, but not necessarily all the plates, is fixed to the inner surface 16 of the sphere 12 at attachment points 26 located between three adjacent cells 18, so that a coupling device having a clamp comprising two jaws which are respectively inserted in two adjacent cells 18 is not interfered with when its jaws close behind the wall 22 common between these two adjacent cells 18.
- the plates 24a-24i structurally reinforce the sphere 12 against a collapse when contacted by a submarine autonomous vehicle.
- the plates 24a to 24i together form a generally spherical shaped structure having a diameter of at least 70%, in particular at least 80%, of the diameter of the inner surface 16 of the sphere 12.
- Each plate 24a to 24i has two flat surfaces. These plans together create a resistance to the advancement of the mooring device 10 in the water in all directions.
- the mooring device 10 comprises, in a variant, a buoyancy material 28 for adjusting its buoyancy to the buoyancy of the vessel or submarine to which the mooring device is connected.

- the outer surface is curved.
- Figure 1 shows a submarine vehicle 40, including an AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) or a drone.
- AUV Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
- the AUV 40 has a diameter d A uv, for example, greater than that of the sphere 12 of the docking device 10.
- the AUV has a tip 42 provided with an attachment device 44 to the tip 42
- the hooking device 44 is adapted to hook on the sphere 12 by a simple frontal contact with the sphere, and to remain attached thereafter.
- the attachment device 44 comprises a clamp comprising two movable jaws 46 adapted to be closed on themselves.
- the two jaws 46 are locked in their open position shown, and when a trigger device 48, for example a button, arranged between the two jaws is struck, the two jaws 46 are unlocked and close with a spring not shown.
- the two jaws 46 respectively fit into two adjacent cells 18.
- the jaws are first discarded by a camming effect by the walls 22.
- a wall 22 common between these two adjacent cells 18 touches the triggering device 48, and the two jaws 46 close behind each other. said wall 22 common.
- the attachment device 44 is thus passively actuated when the AUV contacts the sphere 12.
- the AUV is then fixed to the sphere 12.
- the docking device 10 When the docking device 10 receives a shock when the AUV clings to it, the docking device 10 has a large inertia due to the planes of the plates 24a to 24i. This inertia makes it possible to actuate the trigger device 48 in a secure manner.
- the attachment device 44 comprises an active actuator of the jaws 42, 44 making it possible to hook the AUV 40 to the device mooring 10 and unhook the AUV 40, in the opposite way to the hooking, for example remotely controlled.
- the attachment device comprises a single pin with a spring-mounted nonreturn device.
- a device 44 ' is shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, which show it at different times entering a cell 18.
- Figures 5 to 7 show the attachment device 44 'which is adapted to hook on the sphere 12 by a simple frontal contact.
- the hooking device 44 ' comprises a pin 80 which is fixed to the tip of the nose 42 of the AUV 40.
- the pin 80 has, for example, a cylindrical shape, a diameter smaller than the diameter of the cells 18 and a Y axis in the direction of movement of the AUV.
- the pin 80 is provided with a point 82 along the axis Y.
- the pin 80 comprises two movable hooks 84, 86, arranged on opposite sides of the pin 80 and passing through longitudinal slots of this pin.

- the axes of rotation 88, 90 are arranged inside the outer contour of the pin 80 and in front of the hooks 84, 86.
- a portion of the hooks 84, 86 protrude from the pin 80 and has, in section, a substantially triangular shape with a sliding surface 92, 94 extending from its front end beyond the outer contour of the pin 80 and obliquely backward.
- the sliding surfaces 92, 94 are connected to a retaining surface 92, 94 orthogonal to the Y axis of the pin 80.
- the rear ends of the hooks 84, 86 are pushed outwards by springs 96, 98 arranged inside the pin 80.
- the transverse extension of the hooking device 44 'at the rear end of the hooks 84, 86 is greater than the diameter of the cells 18 when the hooks 84, 86 are pushed outwards by the springs 96, 98.
- the hooks 84, 86 thus form a ratchet clasp.
- Figure 8 shows a side view of a recovery base 50 mounted on a submarine 52 dive below the surface of the water 54.
- the submarine 52 has a much larger diameter than the AUV 40.
- the recovery base 50 comprises a housing 56 or dock of longitudinal axis X for accommodating the AUV 40.
- the housing 56 comprises two ends 58, 60 in the direction of movement of the AUV in the housing 56.
- the first end 58 has an input to allow the AUV 40 to enter and includes convergence plates 62 for guiding the docking device 10 and the AUV 40 inside the housing 56.
- convergence plates 62 opposing sides of the entrance are between them an angle greater than 10 °.
- a winch 64 is arranged in the recovery base 50 at the second end 60.
- the winch 64 wraps or unrolls the cable 32 which is connected to the sphere 12.
- the winch allows to release the sphere 12 and to pull the sphere 12 in dwelling 56.
- the docking device 10 has a positive buoyancy.
- the sphere 12 is positioned above the submarine 52. This difference in buoyancy with respect to the submarine 52 makes it possible to release the cable 32 from a thruster 66 of the submarine 52 when unwinding or winding the cable 32, and placing the sphere 12 at a different depth of immersion from that of the submarine 52.
- the recovery base 50 can be mounted on a ship or in a hull of the ship and be provided with a docking device 10 having a negative buoyancy.
- the convergence plates 62 help align the AUV on the longitudinal axis X of the recovery base 50 to place the AUV on this axis in the housing 56.
- the diameter of the sphere 12 being smaller than that of the AUV 40, it can be found in the X axis of the housing 56 when the AUV is pulled with the sphere 12 inside the housing 56, whatever the point where the AUV clings to the sphere 12.
- FIG. 9 shows in top view the approach of the AUV 40 to the docking device 10 according to the invention, in the presence of a side stream 70.
- the AUV 40 is simplified by a single line.
- FIG. 9 shows the positioning of the AUV 40 at different times 72a, 72b, 72c, 72d and 72e.
- the current 70 carries it upwards in FIG. 9.
- the AUV is therefore obliged to continuously correct its direction of approach to the sphere 12.
- the docking device 10 comprises a transponder 30
- the AUV 40 receives the transponder signals and is directed always towards the source of the emitted signals and therefore always towards the sphere 12, following a curve of the dog.
- the AUV 40 clings to the sphere 12 to remain then secured to it.
- the docking device 10 allows an omnidirectional hooking, it guarantees the attachment of the AUV 40 whatever the dynamic disturbances with a basic guidance system of the "dog curve" type.
