Abstract

The device has propellers driven in rotation at variable speed by using pressurized water in order to hydrate a space in continuous mode, where the device functions like an electric or thermal high pressure cleaner for supplying pressurized water jets through a flexible pipe. The pressurized water jets are used to rotate Pelton turbines coupled with the propellers, where the water jets are directed electrically toward augers of the turbines or outward.

Description

DESCRIPTION La présente invention concerne le domaine des dispositifs utilisant l'eau, avec pour objectif de faire chuter une température ambiante, de réhydrater une végétation, disperser des composants chimiques dans un volume d'air en utilisant l'eau comme vecteur.DESCRIPTION The present invention relates to the field of devices using water, with the aim of dropping an ambient temperature, rehydrating vegetation, dispersing chemical components in a volume of air using water as a vector.

L'objectif de l'invention est d'héliporter à partir du sol, d'importants volumes d'eau dans les airs, pour la distribuer avec précision sous une forme de pluie. L'invention" concerne le particulier pour l'arrosage du jardin ou pour la lu prévention incendie dans les régions à risque, avec une télécommande fonctionnant de façon intuitive ou en mode automatisé, avec un vol préenregistré dans l'espace et dans le temps. L'invention concerne aussi l'économie de l'eau dans le monde agricole avec 15 un dispositif d'arrosage automatisé très dynamique dans son déplacement lui permettant de créer un véritable microclimat sur une zone préenregistrée dans l'espace temps. L'invention concerne plus généralement les différents secteurs de l'industrie, 20 des chantiers et travaux publics, pour réguler une température ambiante, ou capturer des particules en suspension dans l'air afin de les entrainer vers le sol. Le dispositif concerne également la sécurité civile pour hydrater la végétation, faire chuter la température sur les flancs et sur le front d'un incendie. 2-5 Avec un objectif essentiel qui est de priver le feu de son alimentation en oxygène, car les hélices du dispositif, évoluent dans un volume de gaz chaud ascendant ne contenant plus d'oxygène. Exemple, les hélices d'un dispositif pesant 60 kilogrammes, déplacera vers 30 le feu chaque seconde, près de 25 mètres cube d'air saturé de micro gouttes d'eau. Pour information, il faut savoir que l'eau pulvérisée, au contact du feu multiplie par 1 700 son volume initial, créant ainsi un phénomène de blast, une véritable explosion de vapeur d'eau qui contribue à priver le feu de son air frais. Le dispositif peut être utilisé là où les moyens traditionnels ne permettent pas d'accéder, exemple : Sur l'incendie d'une tour trop haute pour la grande échelle. Le dispositif est caractérisé en ce qu'il utilise des jets d'eau pulvérisés pour entrainer en rotation des turbines de type Pelton couplées aux hélices. Les jets étant, orientés électriquement vers les cuillères des turbines ou en dehors. Le dispositif est caractérisé en ce qu'il permet la mise en oeuvre de tout un savoir faire issu des années de R & D dans le domaine des hélicoptères miniaturisés, tout en leurs apportant de nouveaux champs d'application. 35 _ 40 Ce dispositif utilisant l'eau sous haute pression pour entrainer en rotation ses hélices est un quadricoptère, mais ne dispose pas de la liberté d'un Drone puisqu'il est relié à son dispositif d'alimentation en eau sous pression par un tuyau flexible.The objective of the invention is to heliport from the ground, large volumes of water in the air, to distribute it accurately in a form of rain. The invention "relates to the particular for watering the garden or fire prevention in regions at risk, with a remote control operating intuitively or in automated mode, with a prerecorded flight in space and time. The invention also relates to the economics of water in the agricultural world with an automated watering device that is very dynamic in its movement, enabling it to create a true microclimate on a pre-recorded zone in space time. more generally, the various sectors of industry, 20 construction sites and public works, to regulate an ambient temperature, or capture particles suspended in the air to drag them to the ground.The device also concerns the civil security to hydrate vegetation, dropping the temperature on the flanks and on the front of a fire 2-5 With an essential objective which is to deprive the fire of its food oxygenation, because the propellers of the device, evolve in a rising volume of hot gas no longer containing oxygen. Example, the propellers of a device weighing 60 kilograms, will move towards the fire every second, nearly 25 cubic meters of air saturated with micro drops of water. For information, we must know that the water spray, in contact with fire multiplies by 1,700 its initial volume, creating a phenomenon of blast, a real explosion of water vapor that helps to deprive the fire of fresh air. The device can be used where traditional means do not allow access, for example: On the fire of a tower too high for large scale. The device is characterized in that it uses sprayed water jets to drive in rotation Pelton-type turbines coupled to the propellers. The jets are electrically oriented to the spoons of the turbines or outside. The device is characterized in that it allows the implementation of a know-how from years of R & D in the field of miniaturized helicopters, while providing them with new fields of application. This device using water under high pressure to rotate its propellers is a quadricopter, but does not have the freedom of a Drone since it is connected to its device for supplying water under pressure by a a flexible pipe.

Un long tuyau flexible alimente en eau pressurisée le dispositif du quadricoptère hydio propulsé par quatre turbines à cuillères de type Pelton tournant sur un plan horizontal et sur un axe vertical. Le dispositif est donc équipé de quatre hélices entrainées en rotation par quatre turbines Pelton, dont les quatre jets d'eau haute pression peuvent être lu orientés électriquement, soit vers les pales de la turbine ou en dehors des pales. Ce mode est important car le pas des hélices d'un quadricoptère n'est pas variable, et l'ordinateur de bord en charge de l'équilibre des phases de vol, utilise la vitesse de rotation pour augmenter ou diminuer la portance de chaque hélice.A long flexible hose supplies pressurized water to the hydrio quadrocopter device powered by four Pelton-type spinner turbines rotating on a horizontal plane and on a vertical axis. The device is therefore equipped with four propellers driven in rotation by four Pelton turbines, whose four high pressure water jets can be read electrically oriented, either to the blades of the turbine or outside the blades. This mode is important because the pitch of the propellers of a quadrocopter is not variable, and the on-board computer in charge of the balance of flight phases, uses the speed of rotation to increase or decrease the lift of each propeller. .

15 Ce dispositif, utilise des capteurs à effet Doppler, des gyroscopes et accéléromètres et divers équipements comme le GPS, une caméra numérique grand angle et caméra infrarouge dans le cadre de la lutte incendies. Etc.15 This device uses Doppler effect sensors, gyroscopes and accelerometers and various equipment such as GPS, wide angle digital camera and infrared camera in the fight against fires. Etc.

20 Pour comprendre à quoi servent ces capteurs permettant de tels asservissements dans les phases automatisées de décollage, atterrissage ou de vol stationnaire, vous pouvez visualiser quelques vidéos sur des différentes phases de vol du quadricoptère AR-Drone télécommandé par un i Pad. www,.To understand what these sensors are used for such servos in the automated take-off, landing or hover phases, you can view some videos on different flight phases of the AR-Drone quadcopter remotely controlled by an i Pad. www ,.

25 Toutes les phases complexes du vol sont prisent en charge, pour que l'opérateur, puisse piloter très simplement son déplacement de façon intuitive avec une simple tablette tactile, avec par exemple une visualisation temps réel sur la tablette de l'i Pad, du spectre infrarouge dans le cadre de la lutte incendies. 3u Le dispositif fonctionne comme un nettoyeur haute pression électrique ou thermique pour alimenter ses jets d'eau pressurisée via un tuyau flexible. Utiliser l'eau sous haute pression pour entrainer des hélices en rotation à vitesse variable afin d'hydrater un espace de façon continue, sans réduire le débit 35 de l'eau pressurisé, sont les deux objectifs fondamentaux de l'invention. 3 5All the complex phases of the flight are supported, so that the operator can easily control his movement intuitively with a simple touch pad, for example with a real-time display on the tablet of the Pad, infrared spectrum in the fight against fires. 3u The device functions as an electric or thermal high pressure cleaner to supply its pressurized water jets via a flexible hose. Using the high pressure water to drive variable speed rotating propellers to continuously hydrate a space without reducing the flow rate of the pressurized water are the two basic objectives of the invention. 3 5
