Description

TRANSFORMABLE CONTAINER

The present invention relates to a transformable container which in its non-deployed position can be picked up, handled or even stowed like any other transport container, and which in its deployed position, forms an autonomous floating structure.

There are known floating containers, or containers, which when stowed together make it possible to form a boat to combat an accidental spill of oil at sea, in rivers or lakes. These containers advantageously allow very rapid transport of means for combating oil slicks, by plane or by ship. In the latter case, and when the ship causing the accidental oil spill is a container ship, these floating sea containers may already be on board.

However, this type of boat requires having a plurality of separate containers, each having a specific function and the whole being essential for the formation and proper functioning of the boat.

In addition, this type of boat has restricted buoyancy, in particular in heavy seas, while having a relatively small storage capacity.

The objective of the present invention is therefore to provide a floating transport device, simple in its design and in its operating mode, having the dimensions of a freight transport container in an undeployed position, comprising arrangements for gripping. , handling and fixing this device with, for example, standard port installations, and forming a boat in its deployed position.

Another object of the present invention is to provide such a floating transport device which from a given longitudinal dimension and a transverse dimension 16536 in its undeployed position, i.e. those of a container, has a maximized deck area in order to significantly increase the boat's loading capacity and a maximized hull volume in order to have the best possible buoyancy in its deployed position.

The dimensions of this transport device in its non-deployed position, that is to say as a container, are thus advantageously reduced, allowing it to be transported by truck, ship or even cargo plane.

Another requirement for such a container, as in all freight transport containers, is then to have all of its structural elements included in the, and therefore not protruding from, the parallelepiped defined by the free walls of this container so that a plurality of such containers can be stacked and / or juxtaposed.

More generally, the present invention aims to minimize the space lost in the parallelepiped defined by the contours of a container which can be transformed into a boat, so as to maximize the useful dimensions of the deck of this boat.

To this end, the invention relates to a container comprising arrangements for gripping, handling and securing this container, each of these arrangements being placed at a corner of this container in the undeployed position of the container, said container having a longitudinal dimension and a transverse dimension in this non-deployed position.

According to the invention,

- in said non-deployed position, said container is constituted by a stack of n boxes with ns 3, at least one of said boxes being placed between and at least partially in contact with two other of said boxes, at least some of said boxes being interconnected to form a rigid structure, at least part of said container being sealed,

- in said non-deployed position, said boxes are at least partially in contact with each other, the number n of boxes and / or the dimensions of each of said boxes being determined so that there is a parallelepiped in which said container is writable, the walls of this parallelepiped then being at least partly formed by the free walls of said stack, the cumulative percentage of empty spaces between said boxes on the one hand, and the free walls of said stack and said parallelepiped on the other hand then being included between 0.1% and 15% of the internal volume of said parallelepiped,

- at least some of said caissons are movable between said non-deployed position and a deployed position in which the assembly thus deployed then forms a floating structure having a longitudinal dimension and / or a transverse dimension greater than said longitudinal and / or transverse dimension of said container in its non-deployed position so as to have a maximized loading area greater than at least twice the area of said container in its non-deployed position.

In other words, we can find a parallelepiped, and even better a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube, each of the walls of which is formed at least in part by said container in its non-deployed position, this container being formed in this non-deployed position at less 3 boxes.

By free walls of the stack is meant the outer envelope of this stack defined by all the shapes of the boxes and their arrangement in the undeployed position of the container.

The term “cumulative percentage of empty spaces between said boxes at least partially in contact with each other on the one hand and the free walls of said stack and said parallelepiped on the other hand” means the sum on the one hand of the percentage of empty spaces between the walls of the boxes placed at least in part against each other with respect to the internal volume of the parallelepiped, these walls therefore being entirely placed in the internal volume of this parallelepiped, and the percentage of empty spaces between the free walls of said stack and said parallelepiped with respect to the internal volume of the parallelepiped.

This percentage does not of course take into account the empty spaces placed in the boxes and resulting, for example, from hollow boxes intended to receive loads and / or a hydraulic supply circuit.

By way of example, in the first case, the empty spaces may result from mobile caissons having a truncated triangular shape leaving an empty space between two superimposed mobile caissons.

The interior volume of a parallelepiped is known to those skilled in the art. Purely by way of illustration, for a rectangular parallelepiped, the interior volume is given by the formula V = L x I x H where L is the length, I is the width and H is the height of this rectangular parallelepiped.

These arrangements for gripping, handling and fixing said container are also called corner pieces allowing the gripping, stowing and transshipment of the container.

These arrangements being placed in the corners of the container, at least these angles are full in order to have sufficient rigidity to ensure the absorption of the applied forces.

In various particular embodiments of this container, each having its particular advantages and capable of numerous possible technical combinations:

in the non-deployed position of said container, at least some of the vertices of the parallelepiped comprising one of the arrangements for gripping, handling and fixing said container, no element of this container is placed projecting from said parallelepiped.

The container is thus fully inscribed in the parallelepiped. Purely by way of illustration, the actuators allowing the movement of the movable boxes from the non-deployed position to the deployed position of this container are not placed projecting from the parallelepiped.

the cumulative percentage of empty spaces between said boxes on the one hand, and the free walls of said stack and said parallelepiped on the other hand, is less than 10% of the internal volume of said parallelepiped,

- in the deployed position of the container, the shell of said floating structure has a longitudinal or transverse dimension greater than twice the longitudinal dimension, respectively transverse, of said container in its non-deployed position,

Thus, and by way of example, in the deployed position of said container, the hull of said floating structure has a longitudinal dimension from bow to stern greater than twice the longitudinal dimension of said container in its non-deployed position.

said mobile boxes are hingedly connected to a fixed unit comprising one or more fixed boxes,

Advantageously, these mobile boxes are linked in an articulated manner to the fixed block by a hinge. Preferably, this hinge is a two-axis hinge.

This two-axis hinge, also called a biaxial hinge, comprises two articulated parts which are connected to an intermediate part carrying the two offset axes of rotation.

the container being made up of mobile boxes only, these boxes are hingedly connected to each other, and even better, are connected to each other by biaxial hinges, this container includes actuators allowing the movement of the mobile boxes from the non-deployed position to the deployed position of this container and vice versa,

Preferably, the movable boxes being linked in an articulated manner by hinges to a fixed block comprising one or more fixed boxes, these F actuators are motorized hinges or else hinges comprising means for opening and closing said hinges.

Purely by way of illustration, these means for opening and closing said hinges comprise, for example, rotary cylinders supplied by an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic power source. Preferably, this power source and its distribution circuit are placed in one of the boxes of the container.

Alternatively, the means for opening and closing the hinges can still be deported, and therefore not integrated into the hinges themselves. It may be purely for illustration, linear actuators or a cable system or an external crane.

the mobile boxes have complementary profiles so as to cooperate in the non-deployed position of the container to form, with a fixed unit comprising one or more fixed boxes, an assembly whose free walls define a parallelepiped or substantially a parallelepiped, and even better a parallelepiped rectangle or cube,

Purely by way of illustration, the mobile caissons can thus have a triangular or truncated triangular profile.

The triangular shape of the movable caissons ensures that a preferred direction of movement of the floating structure is not determined, which is then advantageously amphidromic.

the outer surface of said container in its deployed position is flat or substantially flat so that the deck of the floating structure is flat or substantially flat, the container comprises at least one propulsion system so that said floating structure is self-propelled,

Preferably, this propulsion system allows at least one displacement of the floating structure in a direction transverse or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the floating structure.

at least one of said boxes is hollow to receive loads, said arrangements for gripping, handling and fixing said container being at least eight in number, said arrangements are placed at the ends of the corners of said container in its non-deployed position, said arrangements being intended to cooperate with standard ISO infrastructures for gripping, handling and fixing said container, the container is connected to interconnection means allowing two or more containers to be connected edge to edge or end to end for forming a unitary shipping assembly at the ends of the corners of which arrangements are placed for gripping, handling and fixing said unitary assembly, the container comprises inflatable elements independently or not, making it possible to improve the buoyancy of said structure floating,

These inflatable elements are advantageously received in housings provided for this purpose in the lateral edges of this container. Thus, in an emergency, the container can be moved from its deployed position to its non-deployed position without having to deflate these inflatable elements.

Alternatively or in addition, these inflatable elements can be deployed from housings placed in the bottom of one or more boxes, the inflatable elements then being placed under these elements when they are deployed.

These inflatable elements are preferably sized to ensure the stability and buoyancy of the floating structure.

At a minimum, these inflatable elements will have an elementary section of circular type. However, in order to improve stability (increase in flotation inertia), resistance to forward movement (reduction in hydrodynamic drag) and buoyancy (limitation of lost buoyancy volumes), these inflatable elements will have a basic section. derived from the trapezoid or rectangle, featuring broadly rounded corner ridges and continuous faces that minimize shape breakage.

Advantageously, the underside of these inflatable elements will have a slight slope facing the flow.

Alternatively, and with the aim of reducing the hydrodynamic drag of inflatable elements of circular section juxtaposed with one another, a flexible wall can be maintained tangentially with their lower part, this arrangement thus making it possible to recreate a certain continuity of shape.

Preferably, the container comprises a supply circuit to ensure the inflation, independently or not, of these inflatable elements from a power source, for example pneumatic. Purely by way of illustration, these inflatable elements are inflatable tubes. This power source can for example be placed in one of the boxes.

In order to compensate for the pressure losses which may result from leaks or temperature variations, the inflation pressure of the inflatable elements is controlled and adjusted thanks to a servo-control of the power source by probes such as pressure sensors, checking the inflation pressure of each inflatable element.

the container has retractable wheels or not,

This container preferably comprises at least two retractable or non-retractable wheels per extension block. Of course, the central box may include at least one pair of retractable wheels or not to ensure the movement on the road of the container in its non-deployed position.

Advantageously, at least two of the wheels of the container are directional. In addition, at least two of said wheels are preferably driving.

This container then forms, in its deployed position, an amphibious vehicle.

said container has locking means,

These locking means may comprise bolts intended to cooperate with two or more arrangements for gripping, handling and fixing said container placed opposite. By way of illustration, these locks can be double twist locks (also called twist-locks), mounted opposite points, and interposed between two arrangements for gripping placed opposite and put in place before the full deployment of the container.

According to another embodiment, or in addition, the locking means may comprise fasteners such as pins or bolted fixing lugs.

Alternatively, the container can be self-locking in its deployed position, the self-locking being provided by the force resulting from the deployment actuators.

Purely by way of illustration, the self-locking can be ensured by load-maintaining valves on the hydraulic cylinders ensuring the deployment of the container.

this container has the dimensions of an ISO transport container 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet, 40 feet or 45 feet, or any other dimension of a standard container defined by standard ISO 668 and ISO 1496-1 or any other reference , norm, or standard used in multimodal maritime, river, road, rail or air transport, the container in its non-deployed position is advantageously floating so that it can be dropped at sea and deployed for example automatically or remotely to form a ship.

When it deploys automatically, the container comprises one or more probes connected to a hydraulic supply circuit, for example, to supply the hinges and ensure their movement from their open position to their closed position. These probes detect the presence of the container in the water, they ensure its good stability and if so, send a message to the hydraulic power source to feed the hinges for their activation. Activation of these causes the container to move from its non-deployed position to its deployed position.

When the container is remotely controlled, it has at least one receiver, or transmitter / receiver, connected to a control unit, the latter controlling the activation of the hydraulic source to supply the hinges and activate them.

The invention also relates to a floating device comprising at least two containers in their deployed position as described above, these containers being interconnected to form a unitary floating structure.

These containers in their deployed position can be assembled end to end and / or edge to edge.

The invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

- Figure 11 schematically shows the container of Figure 9 in its deployed position;

- Figure 12 schematically shows a sectional view of a container with its inflatable elements in the deployed position, for simplicity, the container in the deployed position has been shown as a single block;

Figures 1 and 2 show a transformable container in its non-deployed and deployed positions according to a first embodiment of the invention.

This container consists only of a central box 1 having a longitudinal dimension and at the ends of which are placed extension blocks 2, 3 which are connected to the central box 1 by biaxial hinges 4-

7.

Each extension block 2, 3 consists of a single box, also called end box hereinafter, which is hingedly connected to the central box 1 by a pair of biaxial hinges 4-7. Alternatively, each extension block 2, 3 could comprise two boxes placed in contact with each other.

These hinges 4-7 here include hydraulic rotary cylinders. The container therefore comprises a hydraulic power source and a distribution circuit for this hydraulic fluid (not shown) to supply the various hinges 4-7 and thus allow their opening and closing. The container is, therefore, perfectly autonomous.

The end boxes 2, 3 which have a truncated triangular profile, are placed partly on top of each other by being superimposed on the central box 1. Thus, one of the end boxes is placed in the non-deployed position of the container between the central box 1 and the other end box 3. Each end box 2, 3 has a length greater than half of the longitudinal dimension of the central box 1.

At least one of these boxes 1 -3 is advantageously hollow to receive loads and / or devices or devices necessary for the proper functioning of the container.

Each box 1 -3 which is waterproof, forms a floating box.

In the non-deployed position of the container, the free outer walls of the end boxes 2, 3 and of the central box 1 substantially define a rectangular parallelepiped 8, that is to say that this container is writable in its non-deployed position in this regular rectangular parallelepiped 8 (dotted). No structural element of the container is, by definition, placed projecting from this rectangular parallelepiped 8 so that this container can be stacked on and / or pressed against other containers for storage or transport.

The container in its non-deployed position moves away from this regular rectangular parallelepiped 8 by the hollows or empty spaces 9, 10 (hatched areas) between the boxes 1 -3 and the walls of the regular parallelepiped 8.

This rectangular parallelepiped here has dimensions equal to those of a 20-foot ISO maritime transport container so that it can advantageously be picked up, transported, handled, transhipped or even stowed like any standard ISO container without the need for infrastructure or specific material.

There is also an empty space 11 (hatched area) between the end boxes 2, 3 so that the interior volume of this regular rectangular parallelepiped 8 is not fully filled by the container in its non-deployed position.

The cumulative percentage of empty spaces between said boxes 1-3 placed at least in part against each other on the one hand and the free walls of the stack formed by boxes 1 -3 and the regular rectangular parallelepiped 8 on the other hand, here is the sum of the hatched areas 9, 10 and 11, ie 8%.

This container comprises, at each of its angles, an arrangement 12 for gripping, handling and fixing the container. It thus comprises eight arrangements 12 which are placed at the ends of the corners of the container in its non-deployed position.

Activation of the biaxial hinges 4-7 ensures the passage from the undeployed position of the container to its deployed position. In this last position, the end boxes 2, 3 form longitudinal extensions of the central box 1, said assembly thus deployed then forming a floating structure whose shell has a longitudinal dimension greater than twice the longitudinal dimension of this central box 1. .

While a first end box 2 rotates 180 ° between the non-deployed position and the deployed position of the container, the other end box 3 rotates less than 180 °, here equal to approximately 167 ° , between these two positions. These two different rotations ensure the realization of a plane or substantially plane bridge for the floating structure.

The angle of rotation being less than 180 °, the end wall 13 of the central box 1 intended to be pressed against the end box 3 in the deployed position of the container, has an inclined shape complementary to the inclined face 14 of this end box 3 coming into contact, so that the angle formed between these two inclined walls 13,14 is equal to the value of the angle of rotation, rfl

Each hinge with two axes 4-7, also called biaxial hinge, comprises two fixed parts each secured to a box 1, 3, or being an integral part, and supporting one of the two axes of this hinge. These two axes are connected by one or more connecting rods ensuring the offset of the axes of rotation.

Each box 1-3 has aluminum walls forming its sealed outer envelope. Each box 1-3 thus formed is structured by a longitudinal and transverse network of stiffeners designed to take up the local stresses and the overall stresses undergone by the container, both in the non-deployed position and in the deployed position.

Each of these boxes 1-3 therefore forms a supporting structure capable of receiving large loads such as a span, vehicles (truck, etc.), equipment and / or personnel. The triangular shape of the end boxes 2, 3 ensures, moreover, a good absorption of forces by the central box! 1 allowing the use of the ends, or points, of these boxes 2, 3 for carrying loads. The loading surface of the supporting structure is thus advantageously significantly increased.Of course, the biaxial hinges 4-7 are dimensioned to support significant loads both in the deployed position, that is to say in the configuration of a floating structure, and in the non-deployed position, that is. that is, in a container.

Alternatively, these boxes 1-3 could be made of steel, stainless steel, cupronickel, polymer or more generally in composite materials.

Figures 3 to 5 show a transformable container in its undeployed positions, being deployed and deployed according to a second embodiment of the invention. The elements of Figures 3 to 5 bearing the same references as the elements of Figures 1 and 2 represent the same objects which will therefore not be described again below.

This container differs from that described in Figures 1 and 2 in that in its non-deployed position, its periphery forms a regular rectangular parallelepiped. This embodiment is preferred because the cumulative percentage of empty spaces between boxes 15-19 on the one hand and between boxes 15-19 and the walls of the regular parallelepiped in which this container is inscribed is then close to zero.

This ensures that the interior volume of this regular parallelepiped is maximally occupied by the material of the container in its non-deployed position so that the surface of the deck of the floating structure obtained by deployment of this container is then maximized.

This container here comprises five boxes 15-19 of which only one is fixed 15, the other boxes 16-19 being mobile. Two of these movable boxes 16, 17 are placed between two other boxes 15, 18, 19, all of the boxes 15-19 being pressed against each other.

By deployment of the mobile boxes 15-19, a deck surface 20 is formed having a longitudinal dimension greater than twice the longitudinal dimension of the fixed box 15 on which the mobile boxes 16-19 are superimposed in the non-deployed position of the container.

A box is here hingedly connected to the other box by a pair of biaxial hinges 4-7, 21, 22 ensuring the movement of one of these two boxes relative to the other.

Figures 6 to 8 show a transformable container in its undeployed positions, being deployed and deployed according to a third embodiment of the invention. The elements of Figures 6 to 8 bearing the same references as the elements of Figures 1 and 2 represent the same objects which will therefore not be described again below.

This container differs from that described in Figures 1 and 2 in that in its non-deployed position, its periphery forms a regular rectangular parallelepiped.

This container here comprises six boxes 23-28 which during the deployment of the container are movable so as to form, in the deployed position of the container, a floating structure, the longitudinal dimension of which is greater than the longitudinal dimension of the container in its non-removed position. This floating structure thus has an increased flat deck surface.

These boxes 23-28 are hingedly connected to each other by biaxial hinges 4-7, 21, 22, 29 already described above.

Figures 9 to 11 show a convertible container according to a fourth embodiment of the invention.

This container comprises in its non-deployed position a stack of three boxes 30-32 having equal dimensions, which are therefore superimposed on one another.

These boxes 30-32 are moreover articulated with respect to each other so that two consecutive boxes are connected to each other on each of their lateral edges by at least two link arms 33-38, one of these link arms 34, 37 being common to the three boxes 30-32.

Two consecutive connecting arms form with the two consecutive boxes that they connect a deformable regular parallelogram so that the displacement of one of these boxes relative to a box immediately <"lower in the stack of said non-deployed position of said container , causes a circular translation of this box relative to the immediately lower box of the stack.

The link arms 34, 37 connecting the three boxes 30-32 advantageously ensure simultaneous and uniform movement of all the boxes of the container between the non-deployed position and the deployed position and vice versa.

These link arms 33-38 are advantageously received in side housings 39 provided for this purpose so that no structural element of the container is placed projecting from the parallelepiped 40 defined by the free walls of the boxes 30-32 so that this container can be stacked on and / or pressed against other containers for storage or transport. These side housings 39 correspond here to recesses in the side edges of the boxes 30-32.

The 33-38 link arms are mounted so as to rotate on the boxes

30-32 to allow the relative movement of each of these boxes. These link arms 33-38 comprise, for example, connecting rods.

The face or faces 40, 41 of the boxes 30-32 intended to come into contact with a face of another box when these boxes are placed end to end in the deployed position of the container, each have a shape complementary to the face with which it is intended to cooperate in the deployed position of the container. In this way, the faces of two consecutive boxes thus coupled cooperate to block the floating structure in position.

This container in its non-deployed position can be inscribed in a rectangular parallelepiped 42, the container of which in its non-deployed position deviates through the empty spaces between the boxes 30-32 and the walls of this regular parallelepiped 42. The walls of this rectangular parallelepiped 42 are then at least partly formed by the free walls of the stack formed by the boxes 30-32. The cumulative percentage of empty spaces between these boxes 30-32 on the one hand, and the free walls of the stack and the parallelepiped 42 on the other hand is of the order of 15% of the interior volume of this parallelepiped.

Figure 12 shows schematically a sectional view of a container with its inflatable elements in the deployed position over the water, for simplicity, the container in the deployed position has been shown as a single block 43.

One of these inflatable elements 44 has an elementary section derived from the trapezoid

by presenting ridges with widely rounded corners and continuous faces minimizing shape breakage while the other inflatable elements 45, 46 have a circular section. These last two inflatable elements 45, 46 are interconnected by a canvas 47 so as to present a continuous surface between these inflatable elements minimizing shape breaks.
