2924768 DESCRIPTION A I ÉTAT DE LA TECHNIQUE . 1 - Les flotteurs houlo-générateurs 2924768 DESCRIPTION A I STATE OF THE ART. 1 - Floating floats
De nombreux appareils récupérateurs de I' énergie de la houle et des vagues ont été conçus , fabriqués et mis en service . Rappelons les principes utilisés : - soit les flotteurs montent et descendent, à l'intérieur de guides ou de tubes, en fonction de r amplitude de la houle ou de la hauteur des vagues ; - soit le mouvement relatif des flotteurs actionne directement ou indirectement des générateurs . - soit des organes mobiles ( pendules, palettes, traîneaux ,...) ou rotatifs actionnent les générateurs de par leurs déplacements relatifs . Many wave and wave energy harvesting devices have been designed, manufactured and commissioned. Recall the principles used: - either the floats rise and fall, inside guides or tubes, depending on r amplitude of the swell or the height of the waves; or the relative movement of the floats directly or indirectly activates generators. - Or moving parts (pendulums, pallets, sleds, ...) or rotating actuators generators by their relative movements.
La présente invention reprend cette dernière conception . The present invention takes this latter design.
2 - Le brevet n° 2.815.190 délivré le 12 avril 2002 : 2 - Patent No. 2,815,190 issued on April 12, 2002:
Déposé le 04-02-2000 par le même inventeur, le brevet expose dans la figure 1/1 le principe d'un balancier portant deux flotteurs et oscillant sous les mouvements de la houle . Deposited on 04-02-2000 by the same inventor, the patent shows in Figure 1/1 the principle of a balance carrying two floats and oscillating under the movements of the swell.
La présente invention reprend cette conception . The present invention incorporates this design.
B I LE FLOTTEUR 1 - La coque centrale : B I THE FLOAT 1 - The central hull:
La coque centrale (11) possède une carène (15) profilée de façon à ce que l' axe de tangage du balancier (19) soit toujours parallèle au front de la houle et qu' elle offre par ailleurs moins de résistance à l' avancée de la houle et des vagues . The central hull (11) has a hull (15) profiled so that the axis of pitch of the balance (19) is always parallel to the front of the swell and that it also offers less resistance to the advanced swell and waves.
L' arbre principal (14) traverse la coque centrale (11) dans sa largeur et se trouve ainsi parallèle au front de la houle . Solidaire du balancier (19) il tourne donc alternativement d' un certain angle . En sortie de la coque ,I' arbre (14) comprend deux platines (18) pour le dispositif d' ancrage . Un capot (16) , dont une partie est amovible , assure I' étanchéité de la coque . Un dispositif étanche (17) en partie basse permet le passage de câbles . The main shaft (14) traverses the central hull (11) in its width and is thus parallel to the wave front. Solidarity of the balance (19) it rotates alternately from a certain angle. At the outlet of the hull, the shaft (14) comprises two plates (18) for the anchoring device. A cover (16), a part of which is removable, ensures the sealing of the shell. A sealed device (17) in the lower part allows the passage of cables.
2 - Le balancier : 2 - The pendulum:
Les deux flotteurs auxiliaires (12) , placés devant et derrière la coque centrale (11) , ont un profil leur permettant de "monter" immédiatement sur le front de houle afin d' assurer un tangage maximal au balancier et donc des angles maximaux d' oscillation de l' arbre (14) . Les deux bras (13) , dont la longueur est réglable , donnent au balancier (19) l' envergure la mieux 30 adaptée à la fréquence de la houle ( distance entre deux crêtes ). Le mécanisme d' ajustement de la longueur des bras (13) n' est pas décrit étant donné sa banalité . La commande s' effectue à partir du rivage ou dans , une configuration plus sophistiquée , grâce à un programmateur embarqué (41) . 2 C / LE SYSTÈME ROTATIF . 1 - La récupération de r énergie de la houle : The two auxiliary floats (12), placed in front of and behind the central hull (11), have a profile allowing them to "climb" immediately on the wave front so as to ensure a maximum pitch of the balance and therefore maximum angles of oscillation of the shaft (14). The two arms (13), whose length is adjustable, give the balance (19) the span best adapted to the frequency of the swell (distance between two peaks). The mechanism for adjusting the length of the arms (13) is not described because of its banality. The command is from the shore or in a more sophisticated configuration, thanks to an on-board programmer (41). 2 C / THE ROTARY SYSTEM. 1 - The recovery of wave energy:
Les deux flotteurs (12) situés en deux points distants de l' onde de la houle, donc à deux altitudes différentes , impriment au balancier (19) une oscillation génératrice d' un couple dépendant de la 5 géométrie du balancier et de I' amplitude de la houle . Le passage de l' onde faisant osciller le balancier , imprime donc à l' arbre (14) une rotation dans un sens puis dans I' autre , traduisant fidèlement la fréquence de la houle . Les rotations alternatives de r arbre (14) sont transmises à deux roues à cliquets (22) , montées systématiquement en sens inverse. Un démultiplicateur (21) à vitesses variables et deux ressorts 10 spiraux (23) s' intercalent entre I' arbre (14) et les deux roues (22) . The two floats (12) located at two points distant from the wave of the swell, therefore at two different altitudes, impart to the balance (19) an oscillation generating a torque depending on the geometry of the balance and the amplitude. of the swell. The passage of the wave oscillating the balance, thus prints the shaft (14) a rotation in one direction and then in the other, faithfully reflecting the frequency of the swell. The reciprocating shaft rotations (14) are transmitted to two ratchet wheels (22), systematically mounted in the opposite direction. A variable speed reduction gear (21) and two spiral springs (23) are interposed between the shaft (14) and the two wheels (22).
2 - Les deux volants inertiels : 2 - The two inertial flywheels:
Solidaire d' une roue à cliquets (22), chacun des deux volants inertiels (24) reçoit lors de chaque oscillation du balancier , une impulsion spécifique qui accroît son énergie cinétique . Puisque les roues à cliquets (22) sont montés en sens inverse, les volants inertiels (24) tournent 15 donc toujours en sens opposé , quel que soit le sens de l' impulsion du balancier (19) . Les sens de rotation systématiquement inversés des deux volants inertiels (24) permet aussi de neutraliser leurs effets gyroscopiques . In solidarity with a ratchet wheel (22), each of the two inertial flywheels (24) receives, during each oscillation of the balance, a specific impulse which increases its kinetic energy. Since the ratchet wheels (22) are mounted in opposite directions, the flywheels (24) therefore always turn in opposite directions, irrespective of the direction of the pendulum pulse (19). The systematically inverted rotation directions of the two inertial flywheels (24) also neutralize their gyroscopic effects.
3 - Les générateurs d' électricité : 3 - Generators of electricity:
Selon une première réalisation de I' invention, les deux volants inertiels (24) sont couplés à un 20 répartiteur (33) qui est solidaire , directement ou par le biais d' un démultiplicateur , à un unique alternateur (31) . Le répartiteur s' engrène automatiquement sur le volant le plus rapide , en inversant le cas échéant , le sens de rotation de l' arbre moteur (32) entraînant l' alternateur . Selon une autre réalisation de I' invention, chacun des volants inertiels (24) est directement couplé à un alternateur (31) , via éventuellement un démultiplicateur secondaire de vitesse (36) . 25 Selon une autre réalisation de l' invention, chacun des volants inertiels (24) est équipé d' aimants (34) , tournant devant des bobines adéquates (35) , ce qui constitue un véritable alternateur . D / LES ORGANES ANNEXES . 1 - La régulation des dispositifs décrits plus haut : Selon une réalisation basique de I' invention, l' ajustement de la longueur totale du balancier 19) 30 et les vitesses des démultiplicateurs (21) & (36), sont commandés du rivage . Selon une seconde version de l' invention, ces commandes sont effectuées automatiquement par un programmateur embarqué (41) , assisté de capteurs (42) qui mesurent de manière permanente les angles du balancier, les vitesses angulaires des volants inertiels, la puissance délivrée par les alternateurs, etc... . 35 Selon une version plus sophistiquée de l' invention , un radar (43) recueille les caractéristiques de la houle ( fréquence, amplitude) pour une commande plus fine du programmateur (41) . According to a first embodiment of the invention, the two inertial flywheels (24) are coupled to a distributor (33) which is integral, directly or by means of a reduction gear, to a single alternator (31). The splitter automatically meshes with the fastest flywheel, reversing if necessary the direction of rotation of the motor shaft (32) driving the alternator. According to another embodiment of the invention, each of the flywheels (24) is directly coupled to an alternator (31), possibly via a secondary speed reducer (36). According to another embodiment of the invention, each of the inertial flywheels (24) is equipped with magnets (34), rotating in front of suitable coils (35), which constitutes a real alternator. D / THE APPENDICES. 1 - Regulation of the devices described above: According to a basic embodiment of the invention, the adjustment of the total length of the balance 19) and the speeds of the multipliers (21) & (36) are controlled from the shore. According to a second version of the invention, these commands are carried out automatically by an onboard programmer (41), assisted by sensors (42) which permanently measure the angles of the balance, the angular speeds of the flywheels, the power delivered by the alternators, etc ... According to a more sophisticated version of the invention, a radar (43) collects wave characteristics (frequency, amplitude) for finer control of the programmer (41).
