Description

1 La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant la mise en oeuvre d'une hydrolienne dans un environnement fluvial et marin. Les différents dispositifs existant ne répondent pas toujours aux contraintes environnementales sur le plan technique (comme par exemple pour leur encombrement ou leur emprunte écologique) Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient grâce à sa conception « suspendue dans l'eau », qui permet d'améliorer son intégration dans l'environnement. De plus, en surface, seules les bouées de taille raisonnable sont visibles, ce qui limite la pollution visuelle et permet d'installer ce dispositif dans un plus grand nombre de sites. Ce dispositif comporte, selon une première caractéristique un point d'ancrage qui peut être fixé à une chaine, traversant de part en part le fleuve ou la rivière, fixé sur ses bords et reposant sur le fond. Ce point d'ancrage peut aussi être fixé à un solide au fond de l'eau (en particulier dans le cas d'un environnement marin). A ce point d'ancrage peut être fixé une chaine, que nous appellerons chaine maîtresse. Cette chaine maitresse est suspendue sous une bouée, que nous appellerons bouée maitresse. A cette chaine maitresse nous pouvons fixer en un point une chaine, que nous appellerons chaine horizontale, qui retient l'hydrolienne sur le plan horizontale, dans le flux du courant fluvial ou marin. L'hydrolienne est elle-même suspendue, sur le plan vertical, sous sa propre bouée, que nous appellerons bouée de l'hydrolienne, par l'intermédiaire d'une chaine, que nous appellerons chaine verticale. Selon les modes particuliers de réalisation : -La chaine maîtresse sera installée sous la forme d'une boucle. Les fixations se faisant par l'intermédiaire d'un système permettant de faire glisser dans un guide la chaine au niveau du point d'ancrage ; et de la faire glisser dans un guide, ainsi que de la bloquer, au niveau de la fixation de la bouée maîtresse. -Les différentes chaines seront peintes d'une certaine couleur de mètre en mètre pour permettre les différents réglages. -Les chaines peuvent être remplacées par tout autre dispositif acceptable.The present invention relates to a device for the implementation of a tidal turbine in a fluvial and marine environment. The various existing devices do not always meet the environmental constraints on the technical level (as for example for their size or their ecological footprint) The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback thanks to its design "suspended in water" , which improves its integration into the environment. In addition, on the surface, only buoys of reasonable size are visible, which limits the visual pollution and allows to install this device in a larger number of sites. This device comprises, according to a first feature an anchor point which can be attached to a chain, crossing right through the river or river, fixed on its edges and resting on the bottom. This anchor can also be attached to a solid at the bottom of the water (especially in the case of a marine environment). At this point of anchorage can be fixed a chain, which we will call master chain. This chain mistress is suspended under a buoy, which we will call buée maitresse. To this master chain we can fix in a point a chain, which we will call horizontal chain, which retains the tidal turbine on the horizontal plane, in the flow of the fluvial or marine current. The tidal turbine is itself suspended, on the vertical plane, under its own buoy, which we will call buoy of the tidal turbine, through a chain, which we will call vertical chain. According to the particular modes of realization: -The master chain will be installed in the form of a loop. The fastenings are made through a system for sliding in a guide the chain at the anchor point; and to slide it in a guide, as well as to block it, at the level of the fixation of the master buoy. -The different channels will be painted a certain color from meter to meter to allow different settings. -The chains can be replaced by any other acceptable device.

Le dessin annexé illustre l'invention : La figure 1 représente en coupe verticale, le dispositif de l'invention En référence à ce dessin, le dispositif comporte un point d'ancrage (1) au fond de l'eau, qui sera fixé soit sur une chaîne d'ancrage, soit sur un solide fixe. Ce point d'ancrage comporte une fixation qui permet à la chaine (2) (chaine maîtresse), montée en boucle, de 3037557 2 glisser dans un guide. Cette chaine (2) est l'axe de rotation du dispositif qui permet à l'hydrolienne (6) d'être positionnée en permanence face au flux du courant (9). Celle-ci (2), d'une longueur suffisante, lui permettant d'absorber les variations de niveau de l'eau (liée aux crues, à la houle ou aux marées), est suspendue sous une bouée (3) (bouée maitresse) 5 par l'intermédiaire d'une fixation (4) qui permet à la chaine de glisser dans un guide mais également d'être bloquée. Ceci pour permettre l'installation, le réglage en profondeur du positionnement de l'hydrolienne (6) et assurer les actions de maintenance. En un point de cette chaine (2) est fixée une autre chaine (5) (chaine horizontale) qui retient l'hydrolienne (6). L'hydrolienne est suspendue sous une bouée (7) (bouée de hydrolienne) par 10 l'intermédiaire d'une autre chaine (8) (chaine verticale). L'intérêt de ce principe de fonctionnement est aussi de pouvoir installer en « série » d'autres hydroliennes les une derrière les autres (10). Les différents éléments seront calibrés en taille et en résistance en fonction des forces en présence (force du courant, taille et nombre d'hydroliennes).The attached drawing illustrates the invention: FIG. 1 represents in vertical section, the device of the invention With reference to this drawing, the device comprises an anchor point (1) at the bottom of the water, which will be fixed either on an anchor chain, either on a fixed solid. This anchor has a fastener that allows the chain (2) (chain master), mounted in a loop, 3037557 2 slide in a guide. This chain (2) is the axis of rotation of the device which allows the tidal turbine (6) to be positioned permanently facing the current flow (9). This one (2), of sufficient length, allowing it to absorb the variations of the level of the water (related to the floods, the swell or the tides), is suspended under a buoy (3) (buoy mistress ) 5 via a fastener (4) which allows the chain to slide in a guide but also to be blocked. This is to allow the installation, the adjustment in depth of the positioning of the tidal turbine (6) and ensure maintenance actions. At one point of this chain (2) is fixed another chain (5) (horizontal chain) which holds the tidal turbine (6). The tidal turbine is suspended under a buoy (7) (tidal buoy) through another chain (8) (vertical chain). The interest of this principle of operation is also to be able to install in "series" other tidal turbines one behind the other (10). The different elements will be calibrated in size and strength according to the forces involved (strength of the current, size and number of turbines).

15 Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à la mise en oeuvre d'hydroliennes dans les rivières, les fleuves et également dans la mer.The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the implementation of tidal turbines in rivers, rivers and also in the sea.
