Abstract

The device has a hermetic and sealing container that is formed in ovoid shape or bulbous shape for receiving pressure waves. The container is anchored in an area in which the waves are provided with sufficient force to cause the container to oscillate. The container has a converting mechanism for converting swinging movement caused by the waves into rotational movement for rotating a flywheel that causes generation of current, pumping of liquid and compression of gas.

Description

Une grande partie des littoraux de la planète présentent, sur des milliers de kilomètres, un régime de vagues proche de la côte, communément appelé"houle côtière" ou "barre". Cette barre, houle ou ensemble de vagues se situe parallèlement au rivage à une distance de 30 à 500 mètres environ. Ces vagues, d'une hauteur en moyenne de 0,5 à 3 mètres, sont particulièrement puissantes et sont une source d'énergie inépuisable qu'il convient d'utiliser. Ces données sont variables selon les saisons, les coefficients de marée, si la marée est haute, basse ou étale et si c'est le jour ou la nuit. La dimension du container sera 1Q fonction de la taille des vagues du lieu où il sera installé. La prise de conscience des problèmes d'environnement nous amène donc à concevoir des systèmes de récupération et d'utilisation de cette énergie inépuisable. Malheureusement la mer charrie, de plus en plus, sur toutes les côtes du 15 monde tout un tas de détritus, plastiques de toutes sortes, cordages, filets, restes d'épaves et de containers, entre autres. Ceci exclut tout système fragile et compliqué, articulé et d'une forme propice à "capturer" ces détritus qui ne pourraient qu'en altérer le fonctionnement. Cette invention concerne un dispositif simple, destiné à récupérer l'énergie 20 puissante et inépuisable des vagues, à peu de distance du rivage, pour, entre autres, produire de l'électricité, pomper un liquide, comprimer un gaz, etc... La proximité du rivage en facilite l`installation et la maintenance. II est silencieux, serai immergé donc n'altère pas l'esthétique des côtes, et ne représente aucun risque de pollution. 25 La simplicité de sa conception et des composants utilisés dans sa construction permet de le fabriquer ou de l'assembler partout. L'invention se caractérise par un container hermétique et flottant (planche 1), d'une forme prévue pour recevoir de fortes poussées des vagues de la mer, de la même façon que le reçoit un bateau qui se met en travers des vagues. 30 35 5 15 20 25 30 Ce container est destiné à être ancré dans une zone où les vagues sont d'une force suffisante pour le faire osciller, se balancer d'un côté et de l'autre, chaque fois qu'une vague arrive. Etant ancré, il offre une résistance au déplacement de la masse d'eau de la vague, il ne peut dériver et donc pivote autour de son point d'amarrage situé sur sa partie inférieure. Le container contient un mécanisme mil par un balancier et permettant de transformer son mouvement basculant alternatif provoqué par les vagues, en mouvement rotatif afin de faire tourner, par l'intermédiaire d'un jeu de couronnes et pignons dentés, un volant à inertie qui lui-même entraînera un dispositif générateur de courant électrique, une pompe pour liquides ou un compresseur pour gaz. Le container se caractérise par son profil de forme ovoïde et renflée (voir planche 1) qui lui permet de profiter au maximum de la poussée de l'eau qui le fera basculer sur lui-même lors du passage d'une vague. La forme ovoïde et renflée empêchera que les « coups de boutoir » des vagues le détériorent. Le container flottant hermétique (planche 1) est équipé d'un lest principal (Cl) en forme de quille de voilier sur sa partie large inférieure et d'un lest secondaire (C2) qui est un contre poids réglable dans sa partie étroite. Le container est pourvu d'une ferrure (C3) comportant plusieurs points d'amarrage qui permettent de l'amarrer à un dispositif de mouillage, chaîne, câble ou aussière, ancre, poids, corps-morts (planche 2). La disposition de ces points varie suivant les dimensions du container. Selon le régime de vagues dans lequel il se trouve ancré, et l'utilisation qu'on veut lui donner, il est possible de régler le mouvement du container en l'amarrant à l'un ou l'autre de ces points. Le container est pourvu d'ouvertures fermées par des capots (C4) étanches et autres trappes de visite afin d'installer en son intérieur le mécanisme, d'inspecter son fonctionnement et d'effectuer les réparations si besoin est. Le container est pourvu d'un orifice du type presse-étoupe (C5) étanche pour permettre la sortie d'un ou plusieurs câbles électriques et/ou d'un ou plusieurs tuyaux résistant à de hautes pressions pour liquides ou gaz. 35 Le container est pourvu d'une commande (C&) étanche pour agir depuis l'extérieur sur un interrupteur ou une vanne situé dans son intérieur, et/ou un système de débrayage du mécanisme. L'ensemble de ce mécanisme (planche 4) est installé à l'intérieur du container 5 flottant, dans sa partie la plus large, autour d'un axe central (A) fixé sur un châssis, au moyen de paliers ou de moyeux Un « contre poids balancier » est fixé sur l'axe central par deux bielles, donc quand ce balancier se déplace, l'axe central accompagne son mouvement en tournant sur lui-même. 10 Sur l'axe central se trouve une première couronne dentée C solidaire de l'axe central par un palier à cliquet à gauche. Ce palier à cliquet a pour vocation d'entraîner cette couronne quand le balancier, et donc l'axe central, se déplacent dans un sens et de se mettre en « roue libre » quand ils se déplacent en sens inverse. 15 Une deuxième couronne dentée D est solidaire de l'axe central mais, cette fois, par un palier à cliquet à droite. Un pignon denté E transmet le mouvement de la couronne dentée C aux volants à inertie G par l'intermédiaire du pignon denté F, qui lui tourne toujours dans le même sens, de la couronne dentée K et du pignon denté L. 20 Le pignon denté E, transmet le mouvement au volant à inertie G par l'intermédiaire du pignon denté F, de la couronne dentée K et du pignon dentée L Les deux volants à inertie G sont reliés par un tube auquel ils sont fixés solidairement. Ce tube est d'un diamètre supérieur à l'axe central sur lequel il 25 est monté donc librement par roulements à billes. Ils récupèrent le mouvement du balancier, aller et retour, par l'ensemble du jeu de couronnes et de pignons dentés décrits plus haut. Le générateur d'électricité, la pompe ou le compresseur est solidaire du pignon denté N qui est entraîné par la couronne denté M elle-même solidaire des 30 volants G Indications H et 1 H : sens des aiguilles de l'horloge 1 : sens contraire 35 Fonctionnement du mécanisme, aller du balancier :lorsque une vague arrive vers le container, le niveau de l'eau monte, le container est soulevé par la sustentation hydrostatique, la chaîne du mouillage oppose une résistance dirigée vers le bas, le flotteur et l'ensemble du mécanisme contenu en son intérieur basculent en pivotant autour du point d'amarrage. Le balancier (B), solidaire de l'axe longitudinal (A) s'efforce, du fait de la gravitation universelle à rester vertical et transmet cet effort à la couronne dentée (C), dont le cliquet est enclenché (le cliquet de la couronne dentée (D) étant déclenché), ce qui entraîne le pignon denté (E) qui transmet le mouvement au pignon denté (F) fixé à la couronne dentée (K) par un palier à cliquet qui entraîne le pignon denté (L) solidaire des volants (G). Retour du balancier : une fois la vague passée, donc libéré de son action, le flotteur tend à revenir à sa position initiale voire la dépasser. Le container flottant bascule donc en sens inverse. Many of the world's coastlines have thousands of kilometers of near-shore wave patterns, commonly known as "coastal swell" or "bar". This bar, wave or set of waves is parallel to the shore at a distance of about 30 to 500 meters. These waves, with an average height of 0.5 to 3 meters, are particularly powerful and are an inexhaustible source of energy that should be used. These data are variable depending on the season, the tidal coefficients, whether the tide is high, low or spread and whether it is day or night. The size of the container will be a function of the size of the waves of the place where it will be installed. Awareness of environmental problems leads us to design systems for the recovery and use of this inexhaustible energy. Unfortunately the sea carries more and more, on all the coasts of the world a whole pile of detritus, plastics of all kinds, ropes, nets, remains of wrecks and containers, among others. This excludes any fragile and complicated system, articulated and of a form conducive to "capture" these detritus which could only alter the operation. This invention relates to a simple device for recovering the powerful and inexhaustible energy of the waves, at a short distance from the shore, for, inter alia, producing electricity, pumping a liquid, compressing a gas, etc. The proximity of the shore facilitates installation and maintenance. It is silent, will be immersed thus does not alter the aesthetics of the coasts, and does not represent any risk of pollution. The simplicity of its design and the components used in its construction allows it to be manufactured or assembled anywhere. The invention is characterized by a hermetic and floating container (Plate 1), of a shape designed to receive strong thrusts waves of the sea, in the same way that receives a boat that gets across the waves. 30 35 5 15 20 25 30 This container is intended to be anchored in an area where the waves are of sufficient force to make it oscillate, to swing on one side and the other, each time a wave arrives . Being anchored, it offers a resistance to the displacement of the mass of water of the wave, it can not drift and thus pivots around its point of mooring located on its lower part. The container contains a mechanism mil by a pendulum and to transform its swinging alternating movement caused by the waves, in rotary motion to rotate, through a set of crowns and pinions gear, a flywheel which him -Even will result in an electric power generating device, a liquid pump or a gas compressor. The container is characterized by its ovoid and bulging profile (see Plate 1) which allows it to take full advantage of the thrust of water that will make it tilt over itself during the passage of a wave. The ovoid and swollen shape will prevent the "thrusts" of the waves deteriorate. The hermetic floating container (plate 1) is equipped with a main ballast (Cl) sailboat keel on its lower wide part and a secondary ballast (C2) which is an adjustable counter weight in its narrow part. The container is provided with a fitting (C3) having several mooring points that allow mooring to a mooring device, chain, cable or hawser, anchor, weight, mooring (board 2). The arrangement of these points varies according to the dimensions of the container. Depending on the wave regime in which it is anchored, and the use we want to give it, it is possible to adjust the movement of the container by mooring at one or other of these points. The container is provided with openings closed by sealed covers (C4) and other inspection hatches in order to install inside the mechanism, to inspect its operation and to carry out repairs if necessary. The container is provided with a sealed orifice of the cable gland type (C5) to allow the exit of one or more electrical cables and / or one or more hoses resistant to high pressures for liquids or gases. The container is provided with a control (C &) sealed to act from outside on a switch or a valve located in its interior, and / or a disengagement mechanism. The whole of this mechanism (plate 4) is installed inside the floating container 5, in its widest part, about a central axis (A) fixed on a frame, by means of bearings or hubs. "Against balance weight" is fixed on the central axis by two connecting rods, so when this pendulum moves, the central axis accompanies its movement by turning on itself. On the central axis is a first ring gear C secured to the central axis by a ratchet bearing on the left. This ratchet bearing is intended to drive the crown when the balance, and therefore the central axis, move in one direction and to "freewheel" when they move in the opposite direction. A second ring gear D is integral with the central axis but this time with a ratchet bearing on the right. A toothed gear E transmits the movement of the ring gear C to the flywheels G by means of the toothed gear F, which always rotates in the same direction, of the ring gear K and the toothed gear L. 20 The toothed gear E, transmits the movement to the flywheel G by means of the toothed gear F, the ring gear K and the toothed gear L Both flywheels G are connected by a tube to which they are fixed integrally. This tube is of a diameter greater than the central axis on which it is mounted so freely by ball bearings. They recover the movement of the balance, back and forth, by all the set of crowns and pinions described above. The electricity generator, the pump or the compressor is secured to the toothed gear N which is driven by the ring gear M itself secured to the flywheels G Indications H and 1 H: Clockwise direction of the hands 1: opposite direction 35 Operation of the mechanism, go from the balance: when a wave arrives towards the container, the level of the water rises, the container is raised by the hydrostatic levitation, the mooring chain opposes a resistance directed downwards, the float and the all of the mechanism contained in its interior pivot by pivoting around the docking point. The pendulum (B), integral with the longitudinal axis (A) strives, because of universal gravitation to remain vertical and transmits this effort to the ring gear (C), whose pawl is engaged (the ratchet of the ring gear (D) being tripped), which drives the toothed gear (E) which transmits the movement to the toothed gear (F) fixed to the ring gear (K) by a ratchet bearing which drives the toothed gear (L) secured to flying wheels (G). Return of the pendulum: once the wave has passed, so released from its action, the float tends to return to its original position or exceed it. The floating container thus switches in the opposite direction.

Le balancier (B) s'efforce, du fait de la gravitation universelle à rester vertical, l'axe (A) transmet cet effort aux volants (G) par l'intermédiaire de la couronne dentée (D), du pignon denté (F) fixé à la couronne dentée (K) par un palier à cliquet qui entraîne le pignon denté (L) solidaire du volant (G). L'ensemble des deux volants (G) est solidaire d'un tube monté librement sur l'axe (A) par des roulements à billes ce qui lui permet de tourner "en roue libre" quand il ne reçoit pas de mouvement. Le rôle de ces volants est de « stocker » l'énergie produite par le balancier et de la restituer au générateur d'électricité, la pompe ou le compresseur. Cest donc un régulateur. The pendulum (B) strives, because of universal gravitation to remain vertical, the axis (A) transmits this effort to the flywheels (G) via the ring gear (D), the toothed gear (F) ) fixed to the ring gear (K) by a ratchet bearing which drives the toothed gear (L) integral with the steering wheel (G). The set of two wheels (G) is secured to a tube mounted freely on the axis (A) by ball bearings which allows it to turn "freewheeling" when it receives no movement. The role of these wheels is to "store" the energy produced by the pendulum and return it to the electricity generator, the pump or the compressor. It is therefore a regulator.
