Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of antenna support devices, sensors, or measuring devices, and more particularly to those intended to evolve on moving or non-planar surfaces.
- Oceanographic studies are designed to determine the level of oceans and seas at various points and use methods and systems for carrying out transmissions between a mobile antenna and one or more satellites.
- the duration of transmissions between two devices that share the same clock reference allows distance measurement between them. This is a measurement principle widely used in various systems, such as, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System), which means global geolocation system.
- GPS Global Positioning System
- the method for measuring the level of the surfaces of the oceans and / or seas can rely on transmissions between a device for these and one or more devices operating on the surface or surfaces concerned. It can in particular be a satellite, whose altitude is constant or substantially constant (constant average altitude) and controlled, exchanging information with a transmission device present on a boat.
- the relief (shape) of the surfaces of the oceans or seas is by definition non-planar and varies significantly with time, notably because of the meteorological conditions (currents, wind speed and direction, etc.). Disparities of form therefore exist according to the time and the precise place where a measurement must be made.
- Methods used include boarding a device with an antenna or connected to an antenna, on a boat and in view of the sky, the antenna to remain in view of the satellite or satellites used.
- the disparities in the shapes (relief) of the surfaces are such that the antennas used are not always correctly arranged facing the transmission beam or beams, which has the effect of causing transmission errors, or even total interruptions of them.
- the invention makes it possible to improve the state of the art by proposing a "ribbon" device, an antenna or sensor support, or else measuring devices, mobile and floating, comprising a plurality of assembled floating elements. so as to form together a web comprising a first surface known as a bearing surface adapted to float on a second surface known as an evolution surface and / or arranged substantially parallel to the second surface, the device comprising:
- the floating support device comprises an anchoring element (or hooking element) disposed on its longitudinal axis and adapted for fastening a hooking device, and,
- the floating device further comprises a fastening support with articulation fixed on at least one of the floating elements and comprising at least a third surface and a mechanical element adapted to a substantially horizontal positioning of the third surface when the distance of pairs of points vertically facing each other and respectively belonging to the first surface (bearing surface) and at the second surface (surface of evolution) does not exceed a predetermined length.
- the floating web deforms to marry at best the average relief on the surface of the water, its coupling, with an articulated mechanical support and adapted to present a surface as horizontal as possible, ensures a positioning improved antenna or a sensor attached to this surface, to preserve the integrity of the data transmissions useful for the measurements to be made.
- the term "floating" in the following paragraphs designates both the flotation capacity in the sense of insubmersibility variable wave movement wholly or partially on a surface of evolution, or partially in the immediate vicinity of this surface of evolution.
- the surface of evolution can be the surface of the water (sea, oceans, rivers, lakes, ponds, rivers) or a surface of evolution such as, for example, a desert of sand, dunes, a salt lake, an area of low vegetation or a stretch of snow or a mild glacier, an iceberg, an ice cap.
- at least a part of the floating elements comprises an insubmersible material surrounded by an envelope whose edges are assembled at edges of neighboring floating elements in the plurality of floating elements, by means of at least one wire element.
- the mechanical element included in the antenna support comprises a ball joint and / or a gimbal integral with an element mechanically coupling it to the third surface which operates the antenna support function (on which the antenna or any sensor is fixed).
- the length of the floating antenna support device exceeds 10 meters and its width exceeds 3 meters.
- FIG. 1 represents a floating antenna support device FAD1 according to a particular and non-limiting embodiment of the invention.
- the device FAD1 comprises an assembly of a plurality of floating elements FD1 to FDn.
- FIG. 2 represents two floating elements FD1 and FD2, neighbors and fixed to each other among the assembly of FIG. 1, according to a particular and non-limiting embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 3 represents a FIXSYS antenna fixing support of the device FAD1 of FIG. 1, fixed on several floating elements FDn, such as those represented in FIG. 2, and according to a particular and non-limiting embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 represents the support FIXSYS fixed to the floating elements, already represented in FIG. 3, but when the surface (called evolution) on which evolves the device FAD1 is uneven (in the presence of reliefs), according to a particular and non-limiting embodiment of the invention.
- modules shown are functional units, which may or may not correspond to physically distinguishable units. For example, these modules or some of them are grouped into a single component. In contrast, according to other embodiments, some modules are composed of separate physical entities.
- FIG. 1 represents a floating antenna support device FAD1 according to a particular and non-limiting embodiment of the invention.
- the device FAD1 comprises an assembly of floating elements FD1 to FDn, assembled in matrix by their edges, and thus forming a floating sheet, provided with a lower surface SFC1, adapted to be towed and to be deformed according to the reliefs of an SFC2 surface on which it evolves, so that advantageously, and cleverly coupled to a fixing device FIXSYS, the moving assembly allows to position an antenna carried by the support FIXSYS (on a surface SFC3 not shown in this figure) to preserve as much as possible a horizontal positioning of the antenna and thus guarantee an integrity of transmissions to and from a distant equipment in the sky (a satellite, for example).
- the floating elements FD1 to FDn are assembled to each other by means of an attachment system MS1.
- the fastening system MS1 comprises a set of eyelets arranged on the edge of the floating elements, and one or more wire elements passing through the eyelets so as to establish flexible links between neighboring floating elements.
- the wire element (s) passing through the eyelets then operate a lacing of neighboring floating elements.
- the floating elements comprise thin and flexible edges assembled by means of magnetic fasteners comprising polarized magnets to form pairs of attractions capable of forming strong and tear-resistant mechanical links when the assembly is towed on the surface of a liquid medium or on a surface whose relief and little rugged (sand, beach, salt desert, sand desert, snow, glacier out serac area, for example).
- the edges of the floating elements FD1 to FDn are assembled by fixing type "velcro" or glued.
- the floating elements are assembled by a system of buttons "pressure” or closure "zip”.
- a retractable fastening system makes it possible to modulate the total surface of the sheet and allows its assembly and disassembly, which facilitates in particular the transport.
- the sheet is attached to BU buoyant elements formed to increase the navigability of the assembly on a SFC2 evolution surface.
- BU elements may, for example, be rigidly armored boats or inflatable boats, buoys formed to split the water, or floating "strands" adapted to raise the front of the sheet, that is to say the part most likely to be mechanically constrained during a slide of the assembly on the evolution surface SFC2.
- the assembly FAD1 of the web and the buoyant elements BU comprises a hooking device HK adapted to the fixing of the floating device FAD1 to a tractor device, by a rigid direct link, or via an element of coupling such as a rope or sling, as an example.
- the fastening system HK is positioned on the longitudinal axis of the assembly, and thus avoids the appearance of a skidding movement of the assembly. together on the SFC2 surface.
- the elements FADn positioned "aft" of the web with respect to its direction of movement, when the latter is towed via the hooking system HK, comprise a set of trolls. Tn configured to stabilize the rear edge of the assembly on the SFC2 evolution surface.
- FIG. 2 represents two floating elements FD1 and FD2, neighbors and fixed to one another among the assembly of FIG. 1, according to a particular and non-limiting embodiment of the invention.
- the fastening system MS1 makes it possible to attach neighboring elements, such as FD1 and FD2 by lacing, and with a wire link W1 which alternately passes through (lacing method) CH eyelets arranged at the edge of the COAT envelope of the floating elements.
- FD1 and FD2. This method of attachment more generally ensures an effective and flexible connection between the floating elements FDn.
- the element ensuring the flotation because of its low density (containing air or polystyrene for example is maintained in a COAT formed envelope, possibly sealed, and whose edges are thinner than the body, so as to be able to wear eyelets or perforations adapted to the passage of the wired link W1
- the wired link W1 may be a rope of synthetic or natural material, a steel cable, or any other type of link that is related thereto.
- FIG. 3 represents the FIXSYS antenna fixing support of the device FAD1 of FIG. 1, fixed on several floating elements such as those represented in FIG. 2 and according to a particular and non-limiting embodiment of the invention.
- Floating elements FD1, FD2 and two others neighboring floating elements not visible in the figure carry a structure on 4 feet, including F01 and F03 (but also F02 and F04 not shown in this figure since not sensibly visible according to this view).
- the feet support a circular crown PATSUP carrying a sphere PAT integral with a column carrying at its end a mass WGHT.
- the weight WGHT ensures a horizontal or substantially horizontal positioning of an SFC3 surface arranged in the upper part of the "incomplete" PAT sphere.
- the weight WGHT directed downwards adjusts the position of the set PAT + WGHT + SFC3 by pivot of the spherical portion PAT in its support PATSUP, so that the SFC3 surface configured to carry an antenna can maintain an orientation of all or part of an ANT antenna to the sky, and therefore to a remote data transmission device (transmission and / or reception).
- a support column of the mass WGHT integral with the sphere PAT, carries a fastening element of several links "elastic" (effect "spring”).
- Each of these links E01, E02, E03 and E04 (only E01 and E03 are represented in this view) is respectively attached to an attachment point HK01, HK02, HK03 and HK04 thus allowing a damping of the movements at the same time as a recall in the neutral position when the FIXSYS assembly is not inclined with respect to a vertical axis.
- An ANTCON link enables the connection of the ANT antenna positioned on the horizontal surface SFC3 of the FIXSYS system to a remote transmitting device useful for processing the geolocation data transmitted or received to and from a remote data transmission device (a satellite, an airplane, a distant antenna, etc.).
- the coupling of the device FIXSYS on the sheet of floating elements makes it possible to guarantee, if not a continuity of the data transmissions between a local equipment connected to the antenna ANT and a remote equipment, at least a better integrity and reliability of the communications.
- this makes it possible to perform measurements by changing the antenna ANT on a so-called SFC2 surface evolution, since the sheet formed of floating elements FDn comprises a support surface SFC1 (lower surface) deformable and likely to marry the reliefs of the SFC2 evolution surface.
- the surface SFC2 is the surface of a sea, a lake, an ocean or a river or a river and the traction by a boat of the assembly FAD1 makes it possible to carry out height measurements of water and altitude of the surface SFC2 with respect to a predefined reference system such that, for example, the orbit of one (or more) satellite (s) or a set of topographic points whose positioning is known is that which alone constitutes or together a measurement reference system.
- FIG. 4 represents the FIXSYS support fixed to the floating elements, already shown in FIG. 3, but when the surface on which the device FAD1 is moving is uneven (in the presence of more substantial reliefs), according to a particular and non-limiting embodiment of the invention.
- the FIXSYS system is inclined as a whole with respect to a vertical axis, because of the relief of the surface SFC2 which comprises a plurality of floating elements FD1 to FDn.
- the floating elements are each arranged so as to marry the best this surface by creating a lower surface SF1 of the web together they constitute substantially "parallel" to SFC2.
- the combination of the floating element layer FDn and the FIXSYS fastening system cleverly makes it possible to keep the antenna support surface SFC3 almost horizontal, at least when each of the pairs of points belonging respectively to SFC1 and SFC2 and forming part of the same vertical, are not more than one predetermined length apart.
- This predetermined length may be a few tens of centimeters, several meters, depending in particular on the total surface of the sheet consisting of floating elements, but also its shape (rather longitudinal, rather rectangular, square, circular, oval).
- the sheet may display a profile with "breaks" in terms of linearity or curvature and thus cause a steep inclination of the FIXSYS fastening system, which nevertheless results in positioning conditions detrimental to transmissions between an antenna positioned on the SFC3 surface and a remote device.
- the large size of the sheet comprising the elements FDn and the nature of the links MS1 which connect the floating elements makes it possible to integrate the deformations of the surface SFC2 and to average the reliefs so as to define an "average" relief suitable for the desired metrology (average altitude of the surface of a sea for example, or altitude of the average surface) up to a certain level of relief which corresponds to the predetermined length in all points of the same vertical, between the surface of SFC1 support and the SFC2 evolution surface. That is to say that depending on the size of the floating web produced, there is a limit to the ability to overcome the reliefs of the surface of evolution and to guarantee a perfect integrity of data transmissions useful to metrology .
- the invention a significant improvement in measurement capabilities on the surface of an ocean, for example.
- the overall shape of the floating and spherical elements, square, oval and the links fixing elements adjacent to each other are wire or mechanical.
- the goal remains that a large assembly comprising a plurality of floating elements FDn has a bearing surface SFC1 which marries as much as possible a surface SFC2 called surface evolution, so that, because of the joint use of the thus formed web and the FIXSYS fastening system, the SFC3 surface remains as often as possible in a horizontal or near-horizontal position.
- quasi-horizontal position is meant an angle between the SFC3 surface and the horizon which remains in a range of values below 30 degrees, for example. This range of values can, however, be reconsidered according to the opening angle of the transmitting and receiving antenna.
- the spherical element PAT can be replaced by a mechanical gimbal system for tilting a mechanical part carrying the antenna support surface SFC3 along two perpendicular axes.
- the floating support device FAD1 useful for carrying out water level surveys and topology of the surfaces of the sea, lake, oceans, and watercourse, for example, comprises the plurality of elements.
- floats FD1, FD2, FD3, FDn all unsinkable and assembled so as to form together a first surface SFC1, said bearing surface, adapted to float on a second surface SFC2 and / or arranged substantially parallel to this second surface.
- the floating elements FD1, FD2, FD3, FDn are interconnected by at least one of their respective edges by means of the fastening system MS1 comprising the eyelets CH and the wired link W1.
- the device "web” floating support FAD1 comprises the HK anchor element disposed on its longitudinal axis and adapted to a fixing of a hooking device, for example to allow a boat to tow on the surface of the water.
- the floating support device FAD1 comprises the fixing support FIXSYS fixed on at least one or some of the floating elements FD1, FD2, FD3, FDn, ideally in the central part of the sheet.
- the FIXSYS support device comprises a surface FS3 designed to support a radiofrequency signal transmission antenna and an articulated mechanical element, consisting mainly of the PATSUP, PAT and WGHT elements, adapted for a substantially horizontal positioning of the antenna support surface SFC3 when the ply evolves substantially parallel to the surface of the SFC2 water, that is to say when a distance LG of pairs of points vertically facing each other and respectively belonging to the bearing surface SF1 of the sheet FAD1 and to the surface of the water (the second surface FS2) does not exceed one predetermined length. That is, in other words, when the FAD1 mobile antenna support web "marries" (or floats on) the surface of the SFC2 water.
- the support web FAD1 consists of the floating elements FD1, FD2, FD3, FDn which are made from a floating and insubmersible material FM each surrounded by the COAT envelope whose edges are assembled at edges of neighboring floating elements in the sheet FAD1 by means of at least the wired element W1.
- the mechanical element PATSUP comprises the patella (partially) spherical PAT or a cardan-shaped equivalent secured to the antenna support plate mechanically coupling it to the surface SFC3 which offers a mounting support for the mobile antenna ANT.
- the invention is not limited to the single embodiment described, with the aforementioned variants, but more generally relates to any floating antenna support device comprising an anchoring element to be towed and further comprising a support / system fixed on at least one floating element among a plurality of floating elements together constituting a web and comprising an antenna support surface and a mechanical element adapted to a substantially horizontal positioning of the antenna support surface when the distance between pairs of points vertically facing each other and respectively belonging to the support surface of the web consisting of floating elements and the surface of evolution, does not exceed a predetermined length.
