Definitions
- the present invention relates to a maritime transport device for liquid bulk, or behaving like liquid, in at least one hold of an essentially river transport boat, such as a barge.
- the technical sector of the invention is that of shipbuilding and more particularly hulls and holds of river transport vessels for liquid bulk. It should be noted that “bulk” is any product transported directly in the hold of a ship or in the facilities provided for that purpose, integrated and carried by the vessel.
- liquid bulk any cargo not only liquid but also behaving like a liquid such as for example the powdery products.
- the patent application US5271350 describes a system for overflowing oil and / or similar cargoes carried in a tanker during a high-energy impact against the hull of the ship that may provoke the tearing of it: the system involves for that flexible tank modules whose walls are made of flexible material of sufficient strength to withstand breaking during such an impact, and the walls of each flexible module are themselves doubled and contain air under pressure or other fluid forming damper.
- a solution to the problem posed above is a new maritime transport device combining certain known techniques, such as on the one hand tanks or compartments as in the tank barges, but differently constituted as described below to allow in particular the adaptation of existing hulls used in other types of inland waterway transport, and secondly the use of flexible bladders (otherwise known as previously but for different purposes and purposes) as means for containing bulk liquid.
- the device comprises at least one demountable partition capable of dividing the at least one wedge into at least two receptacles and said tanks are flexible-walled tanks adapted to to be positioned and to occupy the entire volume of each receptacle, the lower and peripheral walls of these flexible tanks being able to bear on the one hand against the peripheral bottom and side walls of the hold and secondly against those from the at least demountable partition.
- the device comprises several demountable partitions capable of to divide the at least wedge into receptacles of width at most equal to half the width of this wedge and of length at most equal to half the length of this wedge: thus one can divide a large wedge into several receptacles, this which on the one hand reduces the problem of liquid hulls very critical for the stability of the ship, and on the other hand makes it possible to simultaneously transport several different products.
- all of the flexible tanks are connected to a transfer network disposed on board the maritime transport means and which comprises at least one pump rod for each flexible tank, at least one pump unit for each tank flexible and at least one manifold connecting all the pump rods of the flexible tanks.
- Such an on-board transfer network which is also easy to mount and dismantle, makes ships or barges autonomous (for the loading and unloading of liquid bulk) as the ships dedicated to date while the ships and barges of other goods are not and require handling equipment at the dock.
- each pump rod forming a strainer and positioned near the bottom of the flexible tank considered, supports a protective plate adapted to rest at the bottom of the bladder, maintaining the distal end closest to the bottom and d a sufficient surface to avoid the risk of suction of the flexible fabric of the tank during pumping.
- a river transport boat having at least one block open at its upper part and in which is disposed at least one vessel adapted to receive said liquid bulk, which at least one tank is made according to a device disposed in the structure of the hold and according to the characteristics mentioned above and described in more detail in the following description and the accompanying figures.
- such a reversible device is not only a reduced investment and a quick implementation, but also a reduced weight (compared to the current equipment required for such transport with fixed tanks steel or stainless steel) which makes it possible to increase the deadweight of the considered ship.
- Figure 1 is a cross-sectional vertical view along AA 'of Figure 3, a device and a transport boat according to the invention; and the accompanying figure 1A shows in zoom the interlocking of a removable partition on the bottom of a hold.
- Figure 2 is a longitudinal and partial longitudinal sectional view, along BB 'of Figure 3, of a device and a transport boat according to the invention.
- Figure 3 is a partial top view of a device and a transport boat according to the invention
- Figure 4 is a full plan view schematically a transport boat according to the invention.
- FIG. 5 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view along DD 'of the boat of FIG. 4, and FIGS. 5A and 5B which are attached to it show in zoom the distal end of a pump rod respectively in lateral view and in sectional view. according to CC '.
- the maritime transport device for liquid bulk 14 in at least one shim 13 of a transport boat 12, open at its upper part, and defined by a bottom wall 3i and peripheral side walls 3 2 comprises in a known manner tanks 5 arranged in said shim 13 and able to receive the liquid bulk 14.
- the device comprises at least one removable partition 6 capable of dividing the at least wedge 13 into at least two receptacles 13i and said tanks 5 are flexible-walled tanks 5i able to be positioned and to occupy the entire volume of each receptacle 13i, the lower and peripheral walls 5i of these flexible tanks 5 being able to bear firstly against the bottom walls 3i and lateral peripherals 3 2 of the wedge 13 and secondly against those of the less removable partition 6.
- It can be used tanks or flexible tanks existing on the market, made of materials called fabrics based on PVC, PES, Polyester, nitrile ... adapted to different types of liquid bulk: in this case the dimensions of the receptacles are determined 13i so that they are adapted to these "standard" tanks.
- Custom-made tanks or tanks can also be made and in this case their number and dimensions are determined according to what the manufacturers can achieve, technical restrictions on the dimensions and shape of the flexible tanks themselves, the risk of free surface hulls in navigation and of the balloon during loading / unloading, the corresponding stability calculations, the nature and regulations concerning the liquid product, the size and shape of the hold 13 of the vessel 13 or the houseboat considered ...
- demountable partitions 6 are able to divide the at least shim 13 into receptacles 13i:
- these receptacles 13i being four in the length of the shim 13, are therefore of width equal to a quarter of the length thereof, but they could also be of different length relative to each other.
- the device comprises anti-friction cloth plies 4 capable of being deposited between on the one hand the walls 3i, 3 2 of the at least wedge 13 and removable partitions 6 and on the other hand the flexible walls 5i of the tanks 5.
- crosspieces 1 are able to be slid into ducts 2 situated at the upper part of the flexible tanks 5 and bearing at their two ends 11 on the edges 13 2 of the at least shim 13 so that these cross members 1 maintain the shape and the volume of the flexible tank 5 considered, whether it is full or empty.
- the tanks or tanks 5 can be filled, when they have emptied liquid bulk, inert or neutral gas: however this implies a perfect seal, greater than that required for liquid bulk, the whole system (tanks tanks, pipes, pumps, manholes, vents ).
- Each tank or flexible tank 5 can indeed also be equipped, not shown, with a manhole to intervene inside (inspection, repair, installation of the pump rods 15 described below). ...) and a vent allowing the entry of air to the dump and its evacuation at filling by the liquid bulk 14.
- the various flexible tanks may contain, during one and the same transport, liquid or powdery products incompatible with each other, sealing between the compartments or containers 13i may be necessary to confine each product. in its receptacle in case of leakage of its flexible reservoir; for that :
- each receptacle 13i comprises a sealed retention tray, also flexible, type "liner” as used in some pools, or rigid, and in which is disposed the flexible reservoir 5
- Removable and removable partitions 6, which must not have any roughness and be strong, can be fixed in the shim 13 by various systems whose choice depends on several criteria such as ease of assembly / disassembly, rigidity ...
- the device according to the invention may comprise U-shaped angles 7, welded to the bottom floor 3i of the wedge 13 and of width corresponding to the thickness of the removable partitions 6, which are slid and maintained there.
- all the flexible tanks 5 are connected to a transfer network disposed on board the maritime transport means 12 and which comprises at least one pump rod 15 for each flexible tank 5 and whose the distal end forming strainer 11 is positioned near the bottom of the flexible reservoir 5 considered, at least one pump unit 9 for each flexible reservoir 5 and at least one manifold 8 connecting all the pump rods 15 of the flexible tanks.
- the pump rods 15 can be stationed in the tanks 5 and removable: they are long enough to go down to the bottom of the tank to allow its emptying as complete as possible; for this the distal end 11 of each pump rod 15 supports a protective plate 10 adapted to rest at the bottom of the flexible reservoir 5, keeping the distal end 11 closer to the bottom and a sufficient surface to avoid risks of suction of the flexible fabric of the tank during pumping.
- the number and capacity of the pump units 9 to be installed on board the vessel or barge 12 depend on the nature of the liquid bulk 14 and the desired flow rates; they are equipped with control valves and anyone skilled in the art is able to define the control sequences (manual and / or automatic), to choose the type of these pump units, to incorporate a priming device, to choose the function (emptying and / or filling), to establish the transfer network diagram and to determine the necessary piping without it being necessary to specify more in this description.
