Definitions
- the invention relates to an underwater vehicle carrying a sonar antenna. More specifically, the invention relates to the architecture of this vehicle. It is a pulsed vehicle advantageously evolving at the front of a surface building.
- the detection means mounted on the vehicle consist of a sonar antenna, and more particularly of a linear antenna.
- the detection means are placed under the vehicle, the antenna constituting these means therefore only having a degree of freedom in the horizontal plane.
- the invention provides an underwater vehicle equipped with propulsion means and detection means and connected by a cable to a surface building, essentially characterized in that it comprises at the front and in prominence a part forming a ball joint 20 which supports an elongated antenna 10 so as to allow the rotation of the antenna in all directions, and by the fact that it has on the front a saucer shape and on the rear a notch 1 deep enough to allow the movement of the connecting cable 30 in all directions, the point of attachment of the cable being in the recess 2 of the notch substantially in the plane of the thrusters 50, 51
- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the vehicle according to the invention
- Figure 2 shows a side view of the vehicle
- Figure 3 shows a front view of the vehicle
- Figure 4 shows a top view of the vehicle
- Figure 5 shows the front of the vehicle, the antenna being in vertical position do work
- Figure 6 shows the front of the vehicle, the antenna being in the transit position.
- the ball joint 20 comprises a rotation cylinder 24 along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, a transverse axis of rotation 25, and a vertical axis of rotation not visible in the figure.
- the antenna 10 is shown in a horizontal position. As is very well known, it includes an alignment of acoustic transducers 21 making it possible to transmit and receive acoustic waves. In this position the detection is done in the horizontal plane, that is to say according to the deposit.
- the antenna can be placed vertically to perform detection along the vertical plane, that is to say in elevation, as shown in FIG. 5. This rotation is controlled from the surface building via the cable 30 .
- the antenna can be turned upside down in a horizontal position to extend the active face of the transducers when the antenna is not working, as shown in Figure 6.
- the distance D indicated in Figures 1 and 2 is chosen large enough.
- the antenna is freed from roll and pitch movements.
- the vehicle is provided with roll motion and pitch sensors (not shown in the figures).
- the signals provided by these sensors controlling a servo which corrects the position of the antenna in real time.
- 1 antenna rotates around 1 axis 24 to compensate for the roll.
- the antenna rotates around the vertical axis to compensate for pitching while in the horizontal position the antenna rotates around the axis 25.
- the antenna can be put in a longitudinal position by turning it around the vertical axis. In this case, the operation is done in lateral vision.
- the vehicle is designed so as to have a notch 1 in the shape of a "V" as that is clearly represented in FIGS. 1 and 6. This notch is entirely hollowed out from top to bottom.
- the so-called "V” shape is not critical; it can approach a "TI” without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the cable is hung in the hollow 2 of this notch, which allows the cable to travel both in the horizontal plane and in the vertical plane. Especially the cable has the possibility of shifting downwards. To ensure good stability, the attachment point is in the plane of the horizontal and vertical thrusters.
- the vehicle is provided with a single central keel 40 supporting a elevator 41. This ensures good navigation stability while preserving the hydrodynamics.
- the vehicle comprises two horizontal thrusters 50, two vertical thrusters 51 symmetrical with respect to the notch 1. It also comprises a transverse thruster 52 in the keel visible in FIG. 2 which allows the steering of the vehicle in heading at the fixed point in the current.
