ARRIERE PLAN DE L'INVENTION Une telle installation permet à l'utilisateur de pratiquer des efforts physiques sans supporter le poids de son corps tout en étant massé par les jets d'eau. Elle comporte typiquement une baignoire ou cuve équipée de buses à sa face interne, entourant une structure centrale portant un pédalier et une assise, ces buses étant orientées vers le centre de la baignoire pour générer de jets d'eau massant les jambes de l'utilisateur. En pratique, l'utilisateur s'installe d'abord sur la structure centrale en s'asseyant sur l'assise tout en plaçant ses pieds sur les pédales, avant d'enclencher le remplissage de la baignoire et l'activation des jets d'eau pour 15 commencer sa séance d'exercice physique. A cet effet, le pédalier est équipé d'un système de freinage pour que l'utilisateur pédale à l'encontre d'un couple résistant qui est réglable, de la même manière que dans le cas d'un vélo d'appartement. A l'usage, les composants du frein réglable qui équipe le pédalier se 20 détériore assez rapidement, du fait qu'ils baignent à peu près continuellement dans l'eau, de même que leurs moyens de commande. OBJET DE L'INVENTION Le but de l'invention est de proposer une solution pour remédier à cet inconvénient. 25 RESUME DE L'INVENTION A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un système de freinage pour vélo aquatique, comportant un support fixe destiné à être solidarisé au bâti du vélo aquatique et un organe de friction porté par le support fixe en étant mobile par rapport à ce support fixe, cet organe de friction étant destiné à venir en appui sur 30 un plateau rotatif entraîné par le pédalier pour le freiner en exerçant un effort presseur sur cet plateau, ainsi que des moyens d'actionnement pour exercer sur l'organe de friction un effort ajustable correspondant à l'effort presseur, caractérisé en ce que les moyens d'actionnement comportent un vérin hydraulique destiné à être alimenté par un circuit hydraulique du vélo aquatique, pour exercer l'effort ajustable correspondant à l'effort presseur. L'invention concerne également un système dans lequel le support a une forme de boîtier ayant une face ouverte à travers laquelle l'organe de friction est monté coulissant, et dans lequel ce support comporte une ouverture de connexion à une alimentation hydraulique, pour introduire de l'eau dans une chambre délimitée par ce boîtier et l'organe de friction formant conjointement le 10 vérin hydraulique. L'invention concerne également un système dans lequel le plateau a une forme de réa, et dans lequel l'organe de friction a une forme de coin s'engageant dans la gorge du réa pour exercer un effort presseur orienté rad ialement par rapport à ce réa. 15 BREVE DESCRIPTION DES FIGURES La figure 1 est une vue d'ensemble montrant en perspective d'une structure centrale pour vélo aquatique équipée d'un système de freinage selon l'invention ; La figure 2 est une vue latérale en coupe de la structure centrale pour 20 vélo aquatique équipée d'un système de freinage selon l'invention ; La figure 3 est une vue de face de la structure centrale pour vélo aquatique équipée d'un système de freinage selon l'invention. DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION La structure centrale de vélo aquatique qui est représentée dans la 25 figure 1 en y étant repérée par 1 comporte un pied principal 2 qui est orienté verticalement lorsque le pédalier est installé comme dans la figure 1. Ce pied 2 porte à son extrémité supérieure une assise ou selle 3, et un ensemble 4 de pédalage à sa partie inférieure avant. Cet ensemble 4 comporte un bâti en tôle 6 rigidement solidaire de la portion inférieure du pied 2, et qui 30 porte un pédalier 7 sur lequel est monté un plateau central en forme de réa 8, ce pédalier comprenant deux manivelles 9 et 11 portées par un axe traversant et situées de part et d'autre du réa 8 qui est monté en position centrale. 2 99802 1 3 Comme le montre clairement la figure 1, le bâti 6 comporte deux flancs parallèles 12 et 13 en tôle, traversés par l'axe du pédalier, et qui sont situés de part et d'autre du réa ou plateau 8. Les manivelles sont situées de part et d'autre de ces flancs de tôle qui portent les paliers, non repérés, supportant l'axe du pédalier. Un système de freinage 14 du pédalier 7 est installé en partie inférieure du bâti 6, et ce système comporte un boîtier 16 qui est rigidement solidarisé à la partie basse du bâti 6, et un organe de friction 17 qui est monté coulissant dans ce boîtier 16.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Such an installation allows the user to practice physical exertion without supporting the weight of his body while being massaged by the water jets. It typically comprises a bathtub or tub equipped with nozzles on its inner face, surrounding a central structure carrying a pedal and a seat, these nozzles being directed towards the center of the tub to generate jets of water massaging the user's legs. . In practice, the user first installs on the central structure by sitting on the seat while placing his feet on the pedals, before engaging the filling of the tub and the activation of the jets of water for 15 start his exercise session. For this purpose, the pedal is equipped with a braking system for the user to pedal against a resistant torque that is adjustable, in the same way as in the case of a exercise bike. In use, the components of the adjustable brake that equips the crankset deteriorate fairly quickly, because they bathe almost continuously in the water, as well as their control means. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to propose a solution to remedy this drawback. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To this end, the subject of the invention is a braking system for aquatic cycling, comprising a fixed support intended to be secured to the frame of the aquatic bicycle and a friction member carried by the fixed support while being mobile. relative to this fixed support, this friction member being intended to bear on a rotary plate driven by the pedal to brake it by exerting a pressing force on this plate, as well as actuating means for exerting on the friction member an adjustable force corresponding to the pressing force, characterized in that the actuating means comprise a hydraulic jack intended to be fed by a hydraulic circuit of the water bike, to exert the adjustable force corresponding to the pressure force . The invention also relates to a system in which the support has a box shape having an open face through which the friction member is slidably mounted, and wherein the support comprises an opening for connection to a hydraulic supply, for introducing water in a chamber delimited by this housing and the friction member jointly forming the hydraulic cylinder. The invention also relates to a system in which the plate has a shape of réa, and wherein the friction member has a wedge shape engaging in the groove of réa to exert a pressure force oriented radially with respect to this sheave. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a central aquatic bicycle structure equipped with a braking system according to the invention; Figure 2 is a sectional side view of the center structure for an aquatic bicycle equipped with a braking system according to the invention; Figure 3 is a front view of the central structure for water bike equipped with a braking system according to the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The aquatic bicycle center structure shown in FIG. 1, indicated by 1, has a main foot 2 which is oriented vertically when the pedal is installed as in FIG. at its upper end a seat or saddle 3, and a set 4 pedaling at its lower front. This assembly 4 comprises a frame made of sheet metal 6 rigidly secured to the lower portion of the foot 2, and which carries a pedal 7 on which is mounted a central plate shaped sheave 8, this pedal comprising two cranks 9 and 11 carried by a traversing axis and located on both sides of the sheave 8 which is mounted in a central position. 2 99802 1 3 As clearly shown in Figure 1, the frame 6 comprises two parallel flanks 12 and 13 in sheet metal, crossed by the axis of the pedal, and which are located on either side of the sheave or plate 8. cranks are located on either side of these sheet metal flanks which carry the bearings, not identified, supporting the axis of the crankset. A braking system 14 of the pedal 7 is installed in the lower part of the frame 6, and this system comprises a housing 16 which is rigidly secured to the lower part of the frame 6, and a friction member 17 which is slidably mounted in this housing 16 .

L'organe de friction est monté coulissant selon un axe vertical coïncidant avec un axe radial du pédalier, de sorte que l'organe de friction 16 est apte à venir radialement en appui sur le réa 8 pour s'insérer dans la gorge 18 de ce réa afin d'exercer un effort presseur qui freine ce réa 8 par effet de friction. Comme indiqué plus haut, la structure centrale de vélo aquatique des 15 différentes figures est destinée à être montée au centre d'une baignoire pour être immergée dans l'eau, au sein d'un système équipé d'une pompe hydraulique pour produire des jets d'eau destinés à masser l'utilisateur du système. La pompe hydraulique est connectée au système de freinage 14 par l'intermédiaire d'une conduite connectée à une ouverture frontale 19 prévue à cet 20 effet en face avant du boîtier de support fixe 16 du système de freinage 14. Comme visible dans la figure, l'ouverture 19 de connexion au système hydraulique est située en partie basse du boîtier 16, pour introduire de l'eau dans une cavité interne qui est délimitée par le bas ou fond du boîtier 16 et une face inférieure 21 de l'organe de friction 17. Cette cavité qui communique avec 25 l'ouverture 19 est repérée par 22 dans la figure 2. Comme visible dans les figures, l'organe de friction 17 a, dans sa partie supérieure, une forme générale de coin à section trapézoïdale pour s'engager dans la gorge 18 du réa 8 qui présente elle-même une section trapézoïdale. Dans ces conditions, lorsque l'organe de friction 17 est soumis à un effort tendant à le 30 rapprocher de l'axe de rotation du réa 8, il génère sur les flancs de la gorge trapézoïdale 18 des efforts presseurs relativement importants. Comme on l'a compris, l'ensemble constitué par le boîtier 16 du support fixe et l'organe de fiction 17 qui délimitent conjointement la cavité 22, constitue un vérin hydraulique capable de déplacer et/ou exercer des efforts sur l'organe de friction 17 afin de tendre à le rapprocher de l'axe du pédalier pour le freiner en appliquant un effort presseur sur les flancs de la gorge périphérique 18 du réa 8.The friction member is slidably mounted along a vertical axis coinciding with a radial axis of the pedal, so that the friction member 16 is adapted to come radially bearing on the sheave 8 to fit into the groove 18 of this sheave in order to exert a pressing force which brakes this sheave 8 by friction effect. As indicated above, the central aquatic bike structure of the various figures is intended to be mounted in the center of a bath to be immersed in the water, within a system equipped with a hydraulic pump to produce jets. of water intended to massage the user of the system. The hydraulic pump is connected to the braking system 14 via a pipe connected to a front opening 19 provided for this purpose on the front face of the fixed support housing 16 of the braking system 14. As can be seen in the figure, the opening 19 for connection to the hydraulic system is located in the lower part of the housing 16, to introduce water into an internal cavity which is delimited by the bottom or bottom of the housing 16 and a lower face 21 of the friction member 17. This cavity which communicates with the opening 19 is indicated by 22 in FIG. 2. As can be seen in the figures, the friction member 17 has, in its upper part, a generally trapezoidal wedge shape for s engage in the groove 18 of the sheave 8 which itself has a trapezoidal section. Under these conditions, when the friction member 17 is subjected to a force tending to bring it closer to the axis of rotation of the sheave 8, it generates on the flanks of the trapezoidal groove 18 relatively large pressing forces. As understood, the assembly constituted by the housing 16 of the fixed support and the fictional member 17 which jointly delimit the cavity 22, constitutes a hydraulic cylinder capable of displacing and / or exerting forces on the friction 17 to tend to bring it closer to the axis of the pedal to brake by applying a pressure force on the flanks of the peripheral groove 18 of the sheave 8.

D'une manière générale, l'organe de friction 17 peut être monté à coulissement dans le boiter 16 selon un ajustement glissant relativement lâche, ce qui permet de provoquer de manière simple l'évacuation d'air emprisonné dans la cavité 22 lors de la mise en service de l'appareillage. Par ailleurs, la cavité interne 22 est alimentée en eau par un conduit hydraulique relié à une pompe, de sorte que l'eau peu fuir de manière plus ou moins importante de la cavité 16. Comme on le comprend, l'ajustement de l'intensité du freinage que génère le système selon l'invention est obtenu très simplement en modulant les caractéristiques du l'alimentation hydraulique de l'ouverture 19, à savoir la pression et le débit d'alimentation en eau. Cette modulation peut tout simplement être obtenue au moyen d'un robinet ou vanne traversé par la conduite en question. Dans le cas où l'utilisateur souhaite réduire le niveau de freinage, il lui faut alors actionner ce robinet ou vanne dans un sens de fermeture afin de réduire le débit et la pression d'eau introduite dans la cavité 22. L'utilisateur souhaitant augmenter le niveau de freinage doit ouvrir ce robinet ou vanne pour accroître le débit d'eau et par là même la pression de l'eau qui est présente à l'intérieur de la cavité 22. D'une manière générale, l'invention permet de réaliser un système de freinage qui est hautement adapté à un contexte de vélo aquatique du fait qu'il présente une seule pièce mobile, et qu'il est commandé de manière hydraulique. L'unique pièce mobile, à savoir l'organe de friction 17, peut être fabriquée dans une matière plastique ou analogue, et une commande hydraulique (comme une vanne ou robinet) qui est nécessairement simple à mettre en oeuvre dans le cas d'un vélo aquatique, présente un risque de dysfonctionnement quasiment nul.In general, the friction member 17 can be slidably mounted in the box 16 in a relatively loose sliding fit, which makes it possible to simply cause the evacuation of air trapped in the cavity 22 during the commissioning of the equipment. Moreover, the internal cavity 22 is supplied with water by a hydraulic conduit connected to a pump, so that the water can leak more or less significantly from the cavity 16. As can be understood, the adjustment of the braking intensity that generates the system according to the invention is obtained very simply by modulating the characteristics of the hydraulic supply of the opening 19, namely the pressure and the water supply rate. This modulation can simply be obtained by means of a valve or valve crossed by the pipe in question. In the case where the user wishes to reduce the braking level, it must then actuate this valve or valve in a closing direction to reduce the flow and the water pressure introduced into the cavity 22. The user wishing to increase the braking level must open this valve or valve to increase the flow of water and thereby the pressure of the water that is present inside the cavity 22. In general, the invention makes it possible to providing a braking system which is highly adapted to an aquatic bicycle context because it has a single moving part and is hydraulically controlled. The single moving part, namely the friction member 17 may be made of a plastic material or the like, and a hydraulic control (such as a valve or valve) which is necessarily simple to implement in the case of a water bike, presents a risk of malfunction almost zero.
