Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention concerne le domaine des péniches ou barges fluviales automotrice, parfois appelées « trente-huit mètres » par les bateliers, à l'exclusion des navires maritimes.The present invention relates to the field of barges or self-propelled barges, sometimes called "thirty-eight meters" by boatmen, excluding maritime vessels.

Une péniche est un bateau à fond plat adapté à la navigation sur les fleuves et canaux pour le transport de marchandises, généralement sèches, stockées dans une cale non spécialisée, accessible et couverte par des panneaux coulissants et amovibles (les panneaux d'écoutilles).A houseboat is a flat-bottomed boat suitable for navigation on rivers and canals for the transport of goods, usually dry, stored in a non-specialized hold, accessible and covered by sliding and removable panels (the hatch covers).

À l'origine la coque construite en bois et halée ou tractée, a évoluée vers la construction métallique d'abord rivetée puis soudée avec la motorisation embarquée.Originally the hull built of wood and hauled or towed, has evolved to the metal construction first riveted and welded with the engine onboard.

L'invention concerne par ailleurs spécifiquement les barges de type LOLO (lift-on/lift-off) qui utilisent une grue pour charger et décharger la cargaison et qui présentent une « cale de chargement » et non pas les barges de type RORO (pour Roll-on/roll-off) conçues pour transporter des marchandises à roues, comme les automobiles, camions, semi-remorques, remorques, et les voitures de chemin de fer, qui sont entraînés sur et hors du navire sur leur propres roues.The invention also specifically relates to LOLO type barges (lift-on / lift-off) which use a crane to load and unload the cargo and which have a "cargo hold" and not the RORO type barges (for Roll-on / roll-off) designed to carry wheeled goods, such as automobiles, trucks, semitrailers, trailers, and railway cars, which are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne le domaine du transport de colis lourds par voies fluviales de « petit gabarits » par des barges fluviales plus particulièrement adaptées à ces canaux dit de « gabarit Freycinet ».More particularly, the invention relates to the field of transport of heavy parcels by "small jig" waterways by river barges more particularly adapted to these channels called "Freycinet template".

Une barge est un bateau à fond plat non motorisé, non dirigé par une gouverne et destiné à l'emport et au déplacement de marchandises, généralement sèches, stockées dans une cale non spécialisée, accessible et éventuellement couverte par des panneaux coulissants et amovibles (les panneaux d'écoutilles).A barge is a non-motorized, non-rudder, flat-bottomed vessel intended for the carriage and movement of goods, generally dry, stored in a non-specialized hold, accessible and, where appropriate, covered by sliding and removable panels (the hatch covers).

À l'origine la coque construite en bois et halée ou tractée, a évoluée vers la construction métallique d'abord rivetée puis soudée.Originally the hull built of wood and hauled or towed, evolved to the metal construction first riveted and welded.

Les barges actuelles sont poussées par des bateaux puissamment motorisés dits « pousseurs ».Current barges are pushed by powerfully motorized boats called "pushers".

Les barges ne sont que très rarement utilisées pour le transport de marchandises sur les canaux de « petit gabarits » dits de « gabarit Freycinet » où - pour cet usage - les péniches ou automoteurs sont préférés.Barges are very rarely used for the transport of goods on the channels of "small size" so-called "Freycinet gauge" where - for this use - barges or self propelled are preferred.

Sur les canaux de « petit gabarit », la barge de l'état de la technique la plus courante, sert de plateforme de pour exécuter divers travaux, mais rarement pour le transport de marchandises.On "small gauge" canals, the most common state-of-the-art barge serves as a platform for various jobs, but rarely for the transport of goods.

Depuis l'avènement de l'automoteur le principe de la barge tractée ou poussée a été abandonné car sensiblement plus lent que le pousseur.Since the advent of the self-propelled barge the principle of towed or pushed barge was abandoned because substantially slower than the pusher.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

La péniche de l'état de la technique la plus courante, en bois et dite « gabarit Freycinet ». Elle mesure 38,50 m de long sur 5,05 m de large et comporte à sa partie arrière un poste de timonerie au-dessus d'un compartiment moteur avec lequel on accède par une descente moteur débouchant au niveau de la timonerie.The most common barge of the state of the art, made of wood and called "Freycinet gauge". It measures 38.50m long by 5.05m wide and has a wheelhouse at the rear of the engine compartment, which can be reached by an engine descent at the wheelhouse.

Une péniche à autopropulsion possède son propre dispositif de propulsion à structure simple pour permettre à la poupe d'accoster facilement et à la coque de s'orienter elle-même de façon appropriée. L'automoteur comprend une salle des machines avec un moteur et un propulseur placé dans la section inférieure de la poupe de la coque et assurant l'autopropulsion. Un pont et une cabine se trouvent en avant de la cale de la coque qui correspond à la salle des machines de façon à permettre à la poupe d'approcher du quai et d'orienter la coque.A self-propelled barge has its own propulsion system with a simple structure to allow the stern to dock easily and the hull to orient itself appropriately. The self-propelled engine includes a engine room with a thruster placed in the lower section of the stern of the hull and ensuring self-propulsion. A bridge and a cabin are in front the hull of the hull which corresponds to the engine room so as to allow the stern to approach the wharf and to orient the hull.

On connaît également la demande de brevet internationale WO 2004/054872 décrivant non pas une barge fluviale mais un navire roulier maritime prévue pour transporter des marchandises.The international patent application is also known WO 2004/054872 describing not a river barge but a maritime ro-ro ship intended to carry goods.

On connaît aussi le brevet français FR2954933 décrivant un bateau fluvial comporte deux cales qui s'étendent longitudinalement, délimitées par des bordés de faible épaisseur et par une structure en Té formant l'ossature. Cette ossature comprend le fond du bateau et une paroi centrale en forme de caisson dont la partie supérieure est aménagée sous la forme d'un passavant. Les bordés sont soutenus par des raidisseurs en forme de barre sèche de compression et/ou de cloisons. Les surfaces internes, sur les bordés et sur le caisson central, notamment, sont lisses pour faire office de surfaces de référence afin d'assurer le guidage des conteneurs ou caisses lors de leur intégration dans les cales.We also know the French patent FR2954933 describing a riverboat has two wedges that extend longitudinally, delimited by thin planks and a T-shaped structure forming the framework. This framework comprises the bottom of the boat and a central wall shaped box whose upper part is arranged in the form of a gangway. The planks are supported by stiffeners in the form of dry compression bars and / or partitions. The internal surfaces, on the sides and on the central box, in particular, are smooth to act as reference surfaces to guide containers or crates when they are integrated in the holds.

On connaît également le brevet français FR2810624 concernant un navire porte-conteneurs du type comprenant une coque, présentant notamment des surfaces latérales, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte, au niveau d'au moins une desdites surfaces latérales, des premiers moyens de stabilisation du navire par accroissement de sa flottabilité, ces premiers moyens étant aptes à être successivement déployés au-delà de ces surfaces latérales et vers l'extérieur du navire puis rétractés au niveau desdites surfaces latérales.French patent is also known FR2810624 a container ship of the type comprising a hull, having in particular lateral surfaces, characterized in that it comprises, at the level of at least one of said lateral surfaces, first means of stabilizing the ship by increasing its buoyancy, these first means being able to be successively deployed beyond these lateral surfaces and towards the outside of the ship and then retracted at said lateral surfaces.

Le brevet allemand DE1105751 concerne un ponton fixe tel qu'un équipement de dragage ou des grues flottantes.The German patent DE1105751 concerns a fixed pontoon such as dredging equipment or floating cranes.

Pour de tels engins qui sont fixes, il est connu de les équiper de flotteurs. Mais le problème n'est pas du tout le même que celui d'une péniche auto-motrice ou poussée destinée au transport de marchandises et de fret sur des voies navigables de gabarit normalisé.For such machines that are fixed, it is known to equip them with floats. But the problem is not at all the same as that of a self-propelled barge or push for the transport of goods and freight on waterways of standard gauge.

Inconvénients de l'art antérieurDisadvantages of prior art

Les solutions de l'art antérieur présentent l'inconvénient de ne pas optimiser la capacité de poids et de volume de chargement, en prenant en compte les contraintes imposées par le gabarit des voies navigables tout en ménageant une stabilité suffisante.The solutions of the prior art have the disadvantage of not optimizing the capacity of weight and load volume, taking into account the constraints imposed by the gauge of waterways while providing sufficient stability.

En effet le transport de colis lourds impose un creux de carène plus profond, aux limites des possibilités des canaux de type Freycinet. Ce qui engendre, si le centre de gravité du colis est trop élevé, un manque de stabilité notoire.Indeed the transport of heavy packages imposes a hollows deeper hollows, at the limits of the possibilities of Freycinet type channels. What generates, if the center of gravity of the package is too high, a notorious lack of stability.

Ensuite, le volume utile de la cale résulte de l'espace disponible entre les éléments structurels qui, traditionnellement, assurent la rigidité du bateau. La dite structure limitant fortement le gabarit du (des) coli(s) transporté(s).Then, the useful volume of the shim results from the space available between the structural elements which, traditionally, ensure the rigidity of the boat. The said structure strongly limiting the template of (the) coli (s) transported (s).

En effet, la structure des péniches a été conçue en fonction du gabarit des canaux et voies navigables et de l'expérience.Indeed, the structure of the barges was designed according to the size of the canals and waterways and the experience.

Par ailleurs, l'équilibrage des charges conduit à des contraintes qui ne sont pas optimisées sur les péniches fluviales de l'art antérieur.Moreover, the balancing of the loads leads to constraints that are not optimized on the river barges of the prior art.

Les solutions de l'art antérieur présentent aussi l'inconvénient de ne pas optimiser la capacité de poids et de volume de chargement, en prenant en compte les contraintes imposées par le gabarit des voies navigables tout en ménageant une stabilité suffisante.The solutions of the prior art also have the disadvantage of not optimizing the capacity of weight and load volume, taking into account the constraints imposed by the template of waterways while providing sufficient stability.

En effet, la structure des barges a été conçue en fonction du gabarit des canaux et voies navigables et de l'expérience.Indeed, the structure of the barges was designed according to the size of the canals and waterways and experience.

De plus Les barges destinées aux canaux de « petits gabarits » ne peuvent pas optimiser le volume de chargement car la longueur de la barge est amputée de la longueur du pousseur pour passer les écluses.In addition Barges for "small gauge" canals can not optimize the volume of loading because the length of the barge is reduced by the length of the pusher to pass the locks.

La capacité d'emport maximum théorique d'une barge suivant les VNF (poids de chargement) oscille entre 250 et 350 tonne suivant les VNF et entre 240 et 310 tonnes suivant les mariniers, ceci en fonction des tirants d'eau acceptés (entre 1m80 et 2m20).The theoretical maximum carrying capacity of a barge according to the VNF (weight of loading) oscillates between 250 and 350 ton according to the VNF and between 240 and 310 tons according to the mariners, this according to the drafts accepted (between 1m80 and 2m20).

Dans le domaine d'application du transport de colis lourds, ce tonnage est largement un trop faible pour les colis concernés dont les poids dépasse parfois 400 tonnes.In the field of application of the transport of heavy packages, this tonnage is largely too low for the packages concerned whose weights sometimes exceed 400 tons.

Solution apportée par l'inventionSolution provided by the invention

Afin de remédier à ces inconvénients, la présente invention concerne selon son acception la plus générale une barge fluviale conforme à la revendication 1, notamment une barge fluviale caractérisée en sa capacité de transporter des colis totalisant plus de 350 tonnes dont le GM (hauteur métacentrique) est parfois inférieur à 0m50 (minimum accepté par la réglementation) régissant le transport des colis (conteneurs) fixés.In order to overcome these drawbacks, the present invention relates in its most general sense to a river barge according to claim 1, in particular a river barge characterized in its capacity to transport packages totaling more than 350 tonnes including GM (metacentric height). is sometimes less than 0m50 (minimum accepted by regulations) governing the transport of packages (containers) fixed.

Avantageusement, la longueur de la proue et de la poupe est d'environ 7 mètres pour une péniche d'une longueur d'environ 39 mètres.Advantageously, the length of the bow and the stern is about 7 meters for a barge with a length of about 39 meters.

Selon une variante, la longueur de la cale de chargement est d'environ 25 mètres pour une péniche d'une longueur d'environ 39 mètres.Alternatively, the length of the cargo hold is about 25 meters for a barge with a length of about 39 meters.
