- the device comprises at least one motor used to rotate a plurality of pulleys on which is wound the flexible binding.
- the device is maintained by means of at least one cable of adjustable length to a boat located on the surface. So the whole submersible can be submerged to the desired depth, for example a depth close to the working depth of the underwater vehicle.
- positioning means are arranged between the upper chassis and lower chassis.
- the positioning means under the form of stops for example, vertically limit the approximation of the chassis lower and upper, so as not to damage the underwater vehicle when recovery of said vehicle.
- the positioning means guide the positioning of the lower chassis relative to the upper chassis, in a plane horizontal, in order to ensure that the underwater vehicle is properly held in the device launching and recovery.
- the lower chassis includes a cradle underwater vehicle reception.
- the receiving cradle facilitates the recovery of the underwater vehicle on the lower chassis.
- the cradle comprises at least one concave wall of reception, whose profile guides the underwater vehicle when establishing the contact between the lower chassis and the underwater vehicle during recovery of said underwater vehicle.
- the cradle can be separated from the lower chassis. So when the device is brought back with the underwater vehicle, on the device located on the surface, it is possible to easily access the underwater vehicle, by example for maintenance operations, by moving the cage formed by the launching and recovery device, to free access to the underwater vehicle.
- the upper chassis includes a cradle upper support, which keeps the underwater vehicle in the launching and recovery device.

- the frame of the lower chassis 24 forms a opening 33 allowing the vertical passage of the underwater vehicle 20, and having at least one dimension smaller than a corresponding dimension of the frame 2 of the cradle 1.
- Fixing yokes 34 formed on the longitudinal tubes 29, 30 towards the interior of the tubular frame formed by the lower chassis 24, allow the fixing cables 26 forming a bundle of cables connecting the lower chassis 24 to the chassis upper 25, perpendicular to the plane of the frame 2 of the cradle 1.
- the upper frame 25 in the form of a tubular frame similar to the tubular frame 2 of the cradle 1 and comprising two longitudinal tubes 35, 36 and a plurality of transverse tubes 37, is connected to a boat located on the surface, and not shown in the figures, via a flexible connection in the form of a cable 38 fixed to a substantially central part 39 of the upper chassis 25.
- Pulleys 40 arranged vertically opposite the yokes 34 and integral in rotation with longitudinal axes 41, 42 fixed in rotation respectively on the longitudinal tubes 35, 36, by means of a device not shown for to improve the clarity of the drawing, make it possible to wind or unwind the cables 26.
- a motor 43 arranged longitudinally on the central part 39 of the chassis upper 25 rotates through a mechanical reference 44 a shaft 45 arranged transversely, provided with mechanical references at its ends 46, 47 to rotate the axes 41, 42 respectively.
- the rotation of the motor 43 in a first direction causes the cables 26 to be wound on the pulleys 40, and the approximation of the lower chassis 24 and upper 25.
- the rotation of the motor 43 in the opposite direction to the first direction of rotation causes the unwinding cables 26 and the spacing of the lower chassis 24 and upper chassis 25.
- the portions of the rails 48, 49 in contact with the surface of the underwater vehicle 20 can be covered with a coating flexible 51 for example made of an elastomer type material, in order to avoid impacts with the surface of the underwater vehicle 20 during recovery of the underwater vehicle 20.
- the supports 52 are provided at their lower end adjacent to the lower chassis 24 with stops of reception 53 of frustoconical shape flared downwards. Reception stops 53 cooperate with pins 54 arranged on the lower frame 24 and visible on the Figure 3, which project vertically from said transverse tubes 5.
- the supports 52 define the minimum vertical distance between the lower and upper chassis, so that the underwater vehicle 20 is held by the seat 6 and the rails 48, 49, without cause damage to the underwater vehicle 20 when the lower frame 23 and upper frame 30
- the protective curtain 27 comprising a plurality of bars 55 held by two ropes 56, 57 is deployed like a blind stacked between the longitudinal ends facing the upper 25 and lower 24 chassis, so that the bars 55 are joined when the lower chassis 24 is in contact with stops 53.
- the unwinding of the cables 26 allows to enlarge said cage 23 vertically, so as to enlarge said opening 28, to facilitate the passage of the underwater vehicle 20.
- the latter Before launching the underwater vehicle 20, the latter is fixed to the cradle 1 using straps 19 and 22.
- the cage 23 is raised via of a crane present on the boat and not shown in the figures.
- the chassis lower 24 allowing the underwater vehicle 20 to pass vertically by opening 33, the cage 23 is placed on the cradle 1.
- the frame 24 Like the lower chassis 24 has at least one dimension smaller than a corresponding dimension of the frame 2 of the cradle 1, the frame 24 rests on the frame 2 of the cradle 1.
- the launching device water and recovery is lowered into the water until the desired depth by unwinding the cable 38 using a winch not shown on the figures which control the speed of descent, as well as the tension of the cable 38.
- the cable unwinding speed 35 is monotonous and can be substantially constant.
- the unwinding speed can be several meters per second, for example 3 meters per second, which allows the underwater vehicle to be lowered quickly to the desired depth.
- the unwinding of the cable 38, the unwinding of the cables 26 is controlled to increase the distance between the lower and upper chassis in order to release the underwater vehicle 20.
- the cables 26 are unwound quickly to prevent the underwater vehicle is unbalanced or damaged by movement of the cage 23 due to surface pounding.
- the unwinding of the cables 26 can be accompanied of a winding of the cable 38 at a speed lower than the speed of unwinding of the cables 26, simultaneously moving the lower chassis 24 and upper chassis 25 away from the underwater vehicle 20.
- the underwater vehicle moves back so as to leave said cage 23 through the opening 28.
- the vertical dimension of the opening 28 of the cage 23 is greater than the amplitude of the vertical movement due to heaving, so that this movement cannot cause no shock between the cage 23 and the underwater vehicle 20.
- the cage 23 can be raised on the boat, or remain in the water at the depth where the underwater vehicle 20 has been released.
- the underwater vehicle 20 which may include means for guidance, for example acoustic beacons and sonars, which cooperate with means for guiding the cage 23, for example sonar reflectors arranged on the elements of the cage 23, is guided or is remotely controlled from the boat using transmission means for entering the cage 23, through the opening 28, of preferably the average depth of the launching and recovery device, taking into account the vertical movements of said device.
- the dimension vertical of the opening 28 is significantly greater than the amplitude of the vertical movements of the cage 23 caused by the pounding on the surface, the underwater vehicle 20 is not likely to be damaged or unbalanced by striking the lower chassis 24 or the upper chassis 25.
- the cables 26 are wound so as to close the cage to keep the underwater vehicle between the seat 6 of the cradle 1 and the rails 48, 49 of the upper chassis 25.
- the cable winding speed 26 is fast, to avoid shocks successive movements due to the relative movements between the underwater vehicle 20 and the seat 6 of the cradle 1, when the cradle 1 and the underwater vehicle 20 are brought into contact, which could damage or unbalance the underwater vehicle.
- the cradle 1 always moves vertically upward relative to the underwater vehicle 20 which undergoes little or no vertical movements due to pounding on the surface.
- the concave wall 8 of the seat 6 makes it possible to receive the underwater vehicle 20 on the cradle 1, guiding it to position it in the horizontal plane.
- the shape of the concave wall 8 having a vertical plane of symmetry allows the times to center the underwater vehicle on cradle 1 and align it longitudinally.
- the absorption stops 13, 16 make it possible to absorb shocks during contact between the underwater vehicle 20 and the seat 6, so as not to not damage the underwater vehicle.
- the cables 26 are wound up until the lower chassis 23 comes into contact with the stops 53 whose frustoconical shape open downwards guide the pins 54 of the lower chassis 24, so as to precisely position the chassis lower 24 in the horizontal plane with respect to the upper chassis 25. Simultaneously, the upper part of the underwater vehicle 20 comes into contact with the rails 48, 49 of the upper chassis 25. Thus, when the cage 23 is closed, the underwater vehicle is held between the cradle 1 and the rails 48, 49, which prohibit all movement of the underwater vehicle 20 in the cage 23.
- the launching device and recovery can be raised to the surface by winding the cable 38.
- any connection between the lower chassis and the upper chassis allowing to vary the vertical dimension of the cage is suitable.
- a relationship flexible, like cables, chains, or straps is particularly suitable because it can be wound easily, for example on pulleys. We can consider the use of cylinders.
- the device according to the invention avoids the use of ballast weights. Indeed, for accelerate the descent of the underwater vehicle 20 to its working depth and avoid the use of vertical propulsion means, said underwater vehicle is generally provided with additional ballast weights known as descent, which are released when the underwater vehicle reaches its working depth. For accelerate the ascent of the underwater vehicle, so-called ballast weights are released at the time of the ascent.
- the launching and recovery device allows to drop and recover the underwater vehicle directly at the working depth. So when of the preparation, the underwater vehicle is directly ballasted for its immersion at the working depth. The mass of the vehicle is then reduced to moment of its immersion since it does not contain any sinker weights or ascent, which can represent up to 10% of the total weight of the vehicle submarine. The underwater vehicle ballast preparation time is reduced. We also avoid the release of ballast weights, which represents a saving, while avoiding pollution of the seabed.
- said device When the launching and recovery device is returned to the boat, said device constitutes a storage medium for the underwater vehicle.
- the cage 23 can be lifted without lifting the cradle, as illustrated in FIG. 1. In this way, access to the vehicle is freed submarine 20 to facilitate maintenance or preparation operations.
- the straps 19 and 22 make it possible to better maintain the underwater vehicle 20 on the cradle 1 in the absence of the upper cradle constituted by the rails 48, 49 of the chassis superior.
- the device for launching and recovering a underwater vehicle allows the use of a plurality of underwater vehicles each stored on a cradle, while using only one cage to immerse successively the different underwater vehicles
- the device for launching and recovering an underwater vehicle from a boat in the form of a recovery cage having an opening whose vertical dimension can be adjusted eliminates the disadvantages due to the vertical movements of the recovery cage which originate in the heaving, i.e. the vertical movements of the boat to which the cage and which are due to swell on the surface of the water.
- the device for launching and recovering an underwater vehicle allows you to quickly drop and retrieve an underwater vehicle at a depth close to the working depth of said underwater vehicle, so that we can conserve more on-board energy for the mission assigned to underwater vehicle, and the use of sinker weights can be avoided, and weight of ascent ballast. We save time underwater vehicle ballast preparation, and ballast weight savings used and dropped on the seabed.
- the device for launching and recovering an underwater vehicle still allows storage of the underwater vehicle on the boat, while providing the possibility of easy access to the underwater vehicle for operations of maintenance and preparation for a specific mission.
