Abstract

The support unit has a main buoy rope (2) extending from a mooring (1), where the buoy rope has mounting points (4) on which chains (3) are fixed. An energy recovery device is attached on the chains, where the chains are connected with respect to each other so as to form a frame. An electric case has an electric cable that is used to transport electricity produced by the energy recovery device. The fixation unit has a stuffed buoy with a floater that ensures buoyancy of the stuffed buoy. An independent claim is also included for an energy recovery system comprising an energy recovery device.

Description

-1- La présente invention est 1 'adaptation de la demande de brevet N° 10 00666, qui va permettre l'utilisation de ces "ensembles-support' , dans des courants de marées. Les courants de marées présentent un problème spécifique de récupération de 1 'énergie produite (en ce cas des récupérateurs "Kerckove Type 1, objets de la demande de brevet N° 10 00513) ou autres. Non seulement ils sont alternatifs fg 1, C de C' en C" et ensuite de C" en C ), présentant un flux et un reflux de 12 heures environ, mais ils sont aussi rotatifs. En terme de marine on dit qu 'un courant de flux (marée montante) porte à terre, et que le reflux (marée descendante) porte au large. Une bouée flottante fg 1,a ù 2,a - et 3a) de formes et de dimensions adaptables à chaque situation, viendra servir de jonction à l'intersection des élingues (fig 1,k) auxquelles elles 15 seront fixées par les points d'attache (fig 2, B et 3, b). Les bouées d'extrémités seront toujours reliées à des corps-mort fg 1,m ) par l 'intermédiaire de câbles ou orins fg 1,L) mais seront doubles (fig 1, L et m) , c'est-à-dire une vers l'amont et une vers l 'aval. Il y aura des corps-mort à l 'arrière des ensembles- 20 support et autant de corps-mort intermédiaires qu 'il sera jugé nécessaire. Il peut être fait usage de planches de chalut fg 1,R). Les bouées f g 2) comporteront un axe central f g 2,d) creux, portant à son sommet un tourillon permettant à une pièce tournante (fig 2,e) d'y être verrouillée pour recevoir l'extrémité de l'orin de 25 l'appareil de récupération d'énergie marine "Kerckove Type 1", ou autres. fg 1,D) En partie supérieure du tourillon, sera installé un contact électrique rotatif étanche fg 2,f) permettant au câble électrique fg 1,g et fig 2,g) la récupération du courant électrique produit par 30 l'appareil "Kerckove type 1" ou autres. Du contact rotatif (fig 2, fi partira un câble électrique fg 2,h) qui ramènera le courant à la terre ferme en passant par l'axe central creux , ou à un autre collecteur plus important. La fixation fg 2, Q), servira à l'attache des câbles ou orins, 35 des corps-mort. Ce système d'ensembles-support permettra de récupérer 1 'énergie des courants de marées, au raz du fond de la mer, en pélagique sur un ou plusieurs niveaux, ou en surface (ou en mixte) Il n 'existe pas encore d'appareils de ce genre, et leur fabrication et 40 vraiment du domaine de la série industrielle. Les élingues fg 1,K) pourront être manchonnées par un tuyau étanche du type polyvinyle, serti sur les manchons de ces élingues, de façon à ce que l'air contenu dans ces manchons, compense le poids de ces élingues.The present invention is an adaptation of the patent application No. 00666, which will allow the use of these "support assemblies" in tidal streams. Tidal streams have a specific problem of recovery. of the energy produced (in this case the "Kerckove Type 1" recuperators, objects of the patent application No. 00513) or others. Not only are they alternative to C 1 -C 4 and then C "to C), they have a flow and reflux of about 12 hours, but they are also rotatable. In terms of the marine one says that a current of flow (rising tide) carries on the ground, and that the ebb tide (ebb tide) carries off. A floating buoy fg 1, a 2, a - and 3a) of shapes and dimensions adaptable to each situation, will serve as a junction at the intersection of the slings (fig 1, k) to which they will be fixed by the points d fastener (fig 2, B and 3, b). The end buoys will always be connected to dead bodies fg 1, m) via cables or oranges fg 1, L) but will be double (fig 1, L and m), that is to say one upstream and one downstream. There will be moorings at the rear of the support assemblies and as many intermediate dead bodies as will be deemed necessary. It can be used trawl boards fg 1, R). Buoys fg 2) will have a central axis fg 2, d) hollow, carrying at its top a pin allowing a rotating part (fig 2, e) to be locked to receive the end of the orion of 25 l 'Kerckove Type 1' marine energy recovery apparatus, or others. fg 1, D) In the upper part of the trunnion, a sealed rotary electrical contact fg 2 will be installed, f) allowing the electric cable fg 1, g and fig 2, g) the recovery of the electric current produced by the device "Kerckove type 1 "or others. From the rotary contact (FIG. 2), an electric cable fg 2 (h) will be drawn which will bring the current back to the solid ground via the hollow central axis, or to another larger collector. Fixing fg 2, Q), will serve for the attachment of the cables or oranges, mooring. This system of support assemblies will make it possible to recover the energy of the tidal currents, at the bottom of the sea, in pelagic on one or more levels, or on the surface (or in mixed). There is not yet any devices of this kind, and their manufacture and 40 really from the field of the industrial series. The slings fg 1, K) may be sleeved by a polyvinyl type sealed hose, crimped on the sleeves of these slings, so that the air contained in these sleeves, compensates for the weight of these slings.

45 Il pourra être fait usage de bouées supplémentaires en cas de besoins d'équilibrage(fig 1,T) et (ou) de lestsg 1,S) La longueur et la largeur de l'engin sont indéfinies et même infinies. 45 Additional buoys may be used in case of balancing needs (fig 1, T) and (or) lestsg 1, S) The length and width of the craft are indefinite and even infinite.
