Abstract

The device for establishment of a dialogue between a vehicle, such as a road tanker, and the fixed location at which it is delivering goods, such as a service station, uses the flexible pipe used for delivery of the liquid as the mechanical support for an electromagnetic communication link. The pipe includes an API coupler and adaptor, and up to three flexible pipe sections for transfer of liquid from the tanker to the service station. Each section of flexible pipe includes a length of coaxial cable mounted within the pipe, leading to a ferrite cored coil at each end. The ferrite cored coil is mounted within the coupler such that it is able to form an electromagnetic link with the next section, and thus form part of a complete link between tanker and service station.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif électromagnétique de transmission d'information, installé sur plusieurs éléments identiques de tuyau flexible, utile au dépotage de produit hydrocarbure, reliant l'adaptateur API (extrémité du conduit de sortie du compartiment d'un camion-citerne), à la bouche de remplissage d'une cuve dans une station service.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to an electromagnetic device for transmitting information, installed on several identical elements of flexible pipe, useful for the stripping of hydrocarbon product, connecting the API adapter (end of the outlet conduit of the compartment of a tank truck), at the filling mouth of a tank in a service station.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de transférer des informations utiles à la reconnaissance automatique du produit transféré (qualité, quantité) et d'autoriser par identification automatique, le bon endroit prévu à la livraison du produit. The device according to the invention makes it possible to transfer information useful for the automatic recognition of the transferred product (quality, quantity) and to authorize by automatic identification, the right place provided for the delivery of the product.

Ce dispositif a pour but de supprimer toute erreur de livraison (contamination d'une cuve non appropriée au produit livré) et de permettre les livraisons sans surveillance physique du destinataire. The purpose of this device is to eliminate any delivery error (contamination of a tank not suitable for the product delivered) and to allow deliveries without physical surveillance of the recipient.

Ce dispositif a également pour but d'assurer la continuité du transfert physique du produit à livrer. This device also aims to ensure the continuity of the physical transfer of the product to be delivered.

Toute déconnexion d'un élément mécanique, entraîne l'arrêt du processus de transfert. Any disconnection of a mechanical element, stops the transfer process.

De même tout élément mécanique additionnel à la description énoncée ciprès entraîne l'arrêt du processus de transfert. Likewise, any mechanical element additional to the description given below causes the transfer process to stop.

Ce dispositif est applicable au secteur pétrolier comme pour toute autre application industrielle, qui utilise un procédé de livraison semblable. This device is applicable to the petroleum sector as for any other industrial application, which uses a similar delivery process.

Description de la chaîne de transmission (voir figure 1)
