Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ship provided with an installation for launching and recovering floating or submersible devices, which comprises a lifting device comprising a set of cables which retains a basket configured to support said device when of said launching and recovery.
  • raft system which is a compartment provided inside a ship which can be opened to the outside and submerged.
  • Davits are systems which allow a boat to be lifted by attaching one or more hooks to it, then to move it from the outside to the inside of the vessel.
  • Cranes and so-called “A Frame” gantry cranes are versatile lifting means that can also be used in this context. But they have the same type of characteristics and limits as the davits mentioned above, with the difference that they also allow submerged vehicles to be recovered (small exploration submarine for example).
  • the handling device comprises a single cable connected to a lifting "slider", which is guided along the ramps.
  • the top of the turret cooperates, via a central male member, with a centering device positioned above the slider frame. Shock absorber pads are associated with this system.
  • the invention aims to ensure that the maneuvering of the machine takes place in the best conditions, to preserve the equipment but also the integrity of the people who possibly participate in the maneuver.
  • a wall 10 of this ship a generally vertical wall which can be constituted for example by a part of the hull of the ship.
  • a flat surface 11 which is preferably constituted by an upper deck 11 of said ship.
  • This vessel 1 is provided with a launching and recovery installation 2 in a floating or submersible vehicle.
  • this installation 2 comprises a lifting device 3 which is installed on the aforementioned bridge 11.
  • This lifting device 3 could consist of a simple lifting crane or a gantry. However, in the exemplary embodiment shown here, the lifting device 3 is somewhat different from a crane and its description is given below.
  • This lifting device comprises four feet 30 and 30' which are articulated on the bridge 11 and which together form a fictitious and deformable rectangular parallelepiped. As shown more particularly by the figures 1 And 2 , two feet 30 constitute a pair and are connected by a crosspiece 31 so that the whole constitutes a sort of inverted "U".
  • This pair of feet 30 is furthest from the edge of the bridge 11.
  • the second pair of feet 30' which is closest to the edge of the bridge, includes a crosspiece which is hinged on the pair of feet 30'. This crosspiece is referenced 31'.
  • the lifting device 3 also comprises a parallelepiped plate 33 which is arranged cantilevered, horizontally, at the vicinity of the top of pairs of feet 30 and 30'. More particularly, one end of this plate is articulated relative to the crosspiece 31 and simply guided relative to the crosspiece 31'.
  • This plate is largely cantilevered relative to the pair of feet 30 and 30' so that, in the position of the figure 1 as well as in that of the Figure 4 , a large part of this plate 33 is located directly above the water on which the ship is positioned.
  • the plate 33 is provided with a movable carriage 34.
  • the carriage 34 is provided with wheels 340 which can move along guide paths which the opposite edges of the plate 33 have, as shown particularly in the figures 1 And 2 .
  • the carriage 34 is provided with a lower face 341, the specific function of which will be explained later.
  • This lower face has a horizontal rectangular surface, of relatively large dimensions.
  • the carriage 34 is equipped with a set of cables 35 which, in the position of the figure 1 , are largely unrolled. Although this is not visible, the carriage 34 incorporates a device for winding these cables so that they can be moved vertically, in the direction of the double arrow f of the figure 2 .
  • these cables can be unwound so as to cause a boat, which will be described later, to occupy a low position as represented by the figures 1 And 2 and, respectively, a high position in which the cables are completely housed inside the carriage 34, as shown particularly in figure 4 .
  • the set of cables 35 retains a basket 4 which is configured to support a machine consisting here, in the embodiment shown, of a boat-like craft E. But it could be another type of machine, for example a mini submarine.
  • This basket 4 comprises a semi-rigid float 40 which has the shape, seen from above, of a "U” with a base 400 and two parallel wings 401.
  • This “U”-shaped structure provides an access opening 402 for the boat E, an opening which is therefore opposite the base 400 of the float 40.
  • the function of said float 40 is to place the basket at a height compatible with the boat to be recovered and to allow said basket, when in the floating position, to follow the movements of the water.
  • This support structure is surmounted by a slatted cage 43, of parallelepiped shape, which in no way interferes with the positioning of the boat in the basket 4 but which can at least partially cover it, as shown more particularly in the figures 1 And 2 .
  • This cage 43 has an upper face 430. In the case shown here, this face is flat, horizontal and discontinuous (in two parts). But it could be otherwise.
  • the installation also comprises a guide member 5 which connects the basket 4 to a wall of the ship, in this case the wall 10, member 5 which is configured to block the movements of "yaw” (horizontal movement of rotation around the vertical axis), “cavalage” (translation on the transverse horizontal axis) and “yaw” (rotation on the longitudinal horizontal axis) of the basket 4 during at least part of the vertical movement of the cables 35 in the direction of the double arrow f, but also when the basket 4 is in the floating position
  • this guide member has the form of a rod 5 which is made here integral with a pair of arms 6 constituting a frame 60.
  • the rod 5 extends substantially parallel to the two wings 401 of the float 40 of the basket 4 during the transition phase.
  • This guide member is therefore integral with the aforementioned frame 60 which is itself articulated on the float.
  • At the end of the arms 6 extends a pair of wheels, inflatable tubes or skates 601, the function of which will be explained later.
  • the free end of rod 5 has the shape of a sphere 50.
  • the guide member in this case the rod 5, cooperates with a profile 7 with a guide path in a generally vertical direction, profile 7 which is mounted on a wall of the ship, in this case the wall 10, as shown on the figures.
  • the sphere-shaped end 50 is configured to be engaged in the profile 7 and move in the vertical direction along the guide path. More precisely, the profile 7 has, seen from above, the shape of a "C" with an opening 70 turned towards the basket 7. Its upper end is open so that the sphere 50 can be engaged in this profile from above only.
  • the upper end of the profile 7 can advantageously be provided diverging upwards and/or forwards and include for this purpose a set of plates 71 and 72 which gives the together a funnel shape.
  • the lifting device 3 has been actuated so as to make it occupy the position illustrated where the plate 33 is largely overhanging the water. Furthermore, the cables 35 were controlled so that they occupy a low position in which the basket 4 is at water level, or even a little lower.
  • the upper surface 430 of the basket 4 comes into direct contact, or even engages, with the lower surface 341 of the carriage 34, so that the basket 4 is in some way immobilized relative to the lifting device 2.
  • the upper surface 430 of the basket 4 is here discontinuous, that is to say made up of two parts facing each other. They therefore rest at the same time against the lower surface 341 of the carriage.
  • the first essential difference lies in the fact that the guide member 5' has a shape different from that described previously.
  • the two profiles 7 have the function of guiding, as previously, the wheels 50' during the raising/lowering of the basket 4.
  • profiles 7 are advantageously designed to be fixed. However, they could be sliding relative to the wall 10, so as to be able to retract downwards their upper end, which during operation of the device, rises above the plane of the bridge 11.
  • the figures also show additional stabilizing material which can, if necessary, be associated with the profiles 7.
  • This material is integral with the carriage 34.
  • arms 8 in this case two pairs of arms 8, which extend obliquely and downwards from the carriage 34.
  • each of these pairs is extended by a profile 80 which has the same shape and the same internal dimensions as the profiles 7.
  • the assembly is configured so that in a raising/lowering position of the basket 4 ( figures 6 to 9 ), the profiles 80 come to rest on the top of the profiles 7 of which they constitute a sort of extension.
  • the basket 4 which receives the boat E does not have a cage 43, so that the cables 35 associated with the stabilizing devices 9 are attached to the upper face 403 of the wings 401 of the float 40 of the basket 4.
  • the length of the stabilizing devices is substantially identical to the height of the cage 43 described in the other embodiments, to allow the recovery of floating devices of substantially identical sizes.
